Chapter 21: The Lion and the Tiger Bound the Claws
After a delay in the martial arts arena, it was almost noon when the Qing family's team entered the mountain forest. Fortunately, the forest is cloudy, and it is quite cool to walk all the way.
After walking for about thirty miles, the forest became more lush, and the roars of various wild beasts were heard in my ears from time to time. On weekdays, the mood of these children must be both excited and nervous. Because even if there are elders leading the team, the assessment of the fighting beast level will still produce all kinds of unexpected situations, and if one is not done well, there will be casualties. This is also the inevitable fate of all martial artists after embarking on the path of cultivation.
Today, however, it is very different. Except for Qingji, the seven martial artists who participated in the assessment all hurried silently without saying a word, and the atmosphere was extremely weird. As the sixth elder and the seventh elder who were the examiners this time, after the two of them had just entered the mountain, they locked the scope of the entire team's activities one after the other. Or more accurately, it is firmly locked in Qingji. Under the confrontation between these two powerhouses, I believe that even a broken army-level beast of the same level will be difficult to escape.
The seven warriors naturally understood what was going to happen next, although not all of them agreed with the actions of the eldest lady's side. But in recent years, most people in Qingfu have chosen to succumb to this kind of obscenity. Now seeing that such a genius boy with such a powerful feat will inevitably encounter a poisonous man, he can only sigh secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, when the team marched more than ten miles again, a gap appeared in the depths of the trees. Ahead is a steep cliff on one side, and a path a few feet wide on the other side, leading deeper into the distance.
The leading six elders stopped, looked at the terrain and said to the seven martial artists: "It's not too early, you few will move along this cliff, there is a dense forest not far away. Wait there and look for wild beasts on your own. Once you've won, just bring the corpse back according to the rules. In the event of an unforeseen situation, you can set off life-saving fireworks, and the Elders will arrive as soon as possible. Alright, you guys go quickly. ”
"Yes, Elder." The seven people took the order and left, and the eyes that swept past Qingji were a little complicated and pitiful.
"Young Master Qingji, your assessment location is still ahead, come with us." Sixth Elder Qing Peng had no smile on his face at this time, and his indifferent and fierce aura of slaughter gradually rose from his body.
"Two elders, the mountains ahead are high and dense, but it is indeed a good place to look for wild beasts." Qing Ji helped the flaming stick behind his back, followed Qing Peng, and walked on the path.
The Seventh Elder Qing Xiao was less than three zhang away from the rear, and along the way, although some fierce beasts appeared from time to time, they were directly frightened away under the undisguised murderous aura of the two elders. Only a fierce three-tailed jackal leopard tried to attack, but was cut in two by the Seven Elders' palm knife.
After walking for about ten miles, there was an open area in front of him. The Sixth Elder stood still, turned around, and said, "This is it. Qingji, how do you think this place is your burial place? ”
Qing Ji smiled slightly and said, "Why did the Sixth Elder say this, aren't we here to conduct a beast-level assessment." At this moment, the beast has not yet seen it, but it is going to bury me in the bones. ”
"Hmph, don't lie in front of real people." The sixth elder sneered a few times: "Qingji, it's only to blame you for giving birth to the wrong person." If you offend the eldest lady and are doomed to death, I won't talk nonsense with you. ”
"Lion and Tiger Tie Heavenly Claw!"
As soon as the six elders spoke, their bodies flickered, and they grabbed towards the top door of Qingji. He used the terrifying cultivation of the broken army level, this grasp was pervasive, and the shattered void was even the body of iron and stone, and he had to catch a hole.
"The six elders are slow, there is something to say...... "In an instant, Qingji's face finally showed a look of panic.
"Haha, I just remember to beg for mercy now, I'm afraid it's too late. Just now, where did you go when you injured Qing Hao and bravely did it. ”
Even though the six elders said this, this grasp was frozen in mid-air and never fell.
"Qingji, if you have anything else to say, tell me quickly. If you hesitate any longer, you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed. At this time, the Seventh Elder Qing Xiao also stood behind, locking Qing Ji's retreat, and looked at his panicked look with great interest.
"The two elders, the boy's previous behavior in the martial arts arena was also forced by the situation, and it was really a helpless move. Now that there is no one around, the boy might as well show his heart, how about being willing to be loyal to the two elders from now on? Qing Ji's face turned pale, and he stared very nervously at the big hand that the sixth elder hung above his head like a sharp claw.
"Allegiance to obedience? Hahaha, you are just an ant-like thing, how can you want to make such a request, just because you can hold up the top of the world? Qing Peng and Qing Xiao glanced at each other and laughed out loud.
"The two elders are aware of it, and the kid knows that this cultivation will not be looked down upon by you. But two years ago, I was just an ordinary anti-top level warrior, and I even encountered the invasion of Yin demons, which caused my soul to collapse. Who knew that two years later, not only did I not die, but I still had the ability to rise to the top. Isn't that alone a good idea to make the two elders look at each other differently? ”
"Huh? That's a good point. You kid, you are really a little shrewd, knowing that we are just curious about this, so we are not in a hurry to kill you at this moment. The six elders finally stopped standing at this time, looked at Qingji, and sneered: "Boy, don't think about any tricks. Tell me all your secrets. If you can satisfy Elder Ben, it is not impossible to let you live. If you use any more deceitful thoughts, then you will be in for a long time. ”
"Rest assured, Elder, in front of the strong man who broke the army, the kid had a bold child, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. The reason why the kid can improve his martial arts is not a secret. It's just because the kid accidentally saw a few strange books in my Qing family's scripture pavilion, and by chance, he actually learned some of them. This is how we turn from weak to strong, and we have today's achievements. ”
"What!" Hearing Qing Ji's words, not only the six elders' expressions were shaken, but even the gloomy and unpredictable seven elders were also staring at each other.
"Qingji! You mean you can recognize the words in those weird books! The eyes of the Seventh Elder Qing Xiao were scorching.
"The two elders misunderstood, the kid was not born a genius, how could he know such strange words. It's just that the kid accidentally discovered that there was actually a mezzanine in the pages of one of the strange books, and the few pages of text hidden in it were actually the contents of the strange books translated in the language of my Void Continent. ”
"I see. Where are those pages, get them out quickly! Qing Peng and Qing Xiao both showed surprise on their faces, and at the same time they were both relieved. It turns out that Qingji's martial arts are so mysterious and sophisticated, and this is the reason.
