Chapter 7: The Mysterious Black-robed Man

Staring at the young man approaching him step by step with cold eyes, Cheng Ying threatened sharply, "Sword Shadow, you will definitely pay a terrible price for what you have done!"

Stretched out his hand and pulled his eyebrows, facing Cheng Ying with a stubborn face, the sword shadow raised slightly at the corner of his mouth revealed an evil smile.

Moving forward, under the latter's frightened expression, the sword shadow who bent down tightly hugged the delicate figure who was powerless to struggle, and opened his mouth to bite the white tender neck that exuded a faint fragrance......

"Hmm..."

A shy murmur came out of Cheng Ying's mouth, being held so intimately, her fair little face quickly swelled up with a burst of redness, although she felt that the blood and aura in her body were losing rapidly, but there was nothing unusual in her body, but the cold poison that had been buried in her body for many years was slowly being withdrawn.

As if thinking of something, she wanted to push away the sword shadow, but the only aura she had was forcibly sucked, and she struggled weakly for a few times before giving up resistance.

After a long time, the sword shadow that fell to the ground pushed Cheng Ying's body away, and while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, he didn't forget to explain, "As long as I assimilate your blood, I shouldn't die due to excessive blood loss..."

staring at it for a long time, facing the bitter "enemy" in front of her, the indifference and hatred on Cheng Ying's face gradually eased, perhaps it was the double loss of aura and essence blood that made her unable to maintain her original arrogance, and even her voice became gentle.

"What are you doing this for, forcing the inhalation of spiritual energy and injecting mismatched blood volume will cause great damage to the body, and even, you will even die..."

By the end of the sentence, the voice became inaudible.

Hearing this, Sword Shadow shrugged his shoulders and behaved very meaninglessly.

"I should have said that, you could have killed me, but why did you avoid the deadly parts?"

As the cold power in his body became stronger and stronger, Sword Shadow's eyebrows gradually became frosty, and his pale face and frozen blue lips made him look even weaker and weaker.

"I..."

Looking at the sword shadow's increasingly pale face, Cheng Ying fell silent, and couldn't help but think of what Yin Fengxue had said to her.

Back then, it should have been her mother who accidentally ate the Ice Heart Lotus Seed that came out of nowhere, which caused the cold to be inherited in her body, but due to the limitations of the mortal body of the body, every time she absorbed the medicinal properties, she would lose a lot of essence blood and vitality.

In the tenth month of pregnancy, in such a long time, the mother used her life to temper the spirituality and cold power of the Ice Heart Lotus Seed, and it was also logical and non-threatening to integrate into her own bloodline.

The Ice Heart Lotus Seed, which is at the level of cyan, has the effect of infinitely healing external injuries and generating qi and blood.

Even if the blood is exhausted, the body will not have any abnormalities for a period of time, but the power of Yin and Cold will cause a cold current that cannot be seen by the naked eye outside the host's body, and continue to suffer from frostbite, and with the storage of one's own spiritual energy and the improvement of the spiritual period, the scope of this Yin and Cold power will also be wider.

For cultivators, the impact of this cold is almost negligible, but for ordinary people, it is understandable to be called a monster, and this cold is also very damaging to the body.

Fortunately, the exercises contained in the books hidden in the heart of ice can slowly transform these cold powers into aura that can be absorbed by themselves, as long as you persevere in your hard work, one day in the future, you will definitely be able to eliminate this cold energy, if you want to dispel this cold power as soon as possible, it is not easy to dispel this cold power, you need a person who can withstand this extreme cold pain, use yourself as a container to absorb it.

Turning her eyes away from the sword shadow that was curled up in a ball and trembling all over, Cheng Ying took out a small black jade bottle from the jade bracelet, she held it tightly with both hands, and her originally ruddy lips were also bitten white by her teeth, as if she was doing a great ideological struggle.

Eventually, though, she opened the bottle.

The moment it was opened, the dazzling seven-colored light lit up the entire night, and after a long time, the light gradually receded, leaving only a magical elixir containing seven colors in his hand.

"What kind of treasure is this light..."

In the dilapidated thatched hut in the distance, a middle-aged man couldn't help muttering when he saw this vision.

"Stop!"

Just as Cheng Ying wanted to feed the pill into the mouth of the sword shadow, a moving voice like a yellow warbler made her stop her movements.

"Teacher Bai Li, you... How did you find mine?"

Seeing the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her, Cheng Ying, who was a little surprised, still had a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

The woman is dignified with a hint of elegance, the white veil covers the face, and you can only vaguely see the breathtaking eyes, although the face cannot be seen clearly, but there is a hazy beauty, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

"Hmph, stinky girl, since you peeked at this young man, I have been quietly observing you, the conversation and the fight between you, and even the cold poison he absorbs from your body, I have seen it. ”

Hearing these doting words, Cheng Ying's pretty face suddenly turned a faint crimson, as if she had thought of something terrible, her face suddenly turned pale again, and then she opened the young man's frozen mouth and wanted to put the pill into his mouth.

It was too late, it was too late, Bai Li quickly grabbed Cheng Ying's little hand, and scolded sharply, "What are you doing stupidly!"

Facing the angry Bai Li, Cheng Ying was a little at a loss for a while, the first time she saw her mentor angry, she was so aggrieved that her eyes began to redden, and finally she cried in a low voice.

Sensing that he was a little out of shape, Bai Li coughed lightly, grabbed the hand that had been frozen by the sword shadow, slowly put it down after a little visit, and said earnestly in the face of Cheng Ying, who was crying silently, "Silly child, the seven-colored Linglong Pill is an extremely rare elixir, and this one is still naturally bred, and the effect is far stronger than condensation or fusion, you are not willing to eat it yourself, why give it to your enemy?"

"Also, I took a look at the spiritual root in this child's body just now, and it was transplanted at all, even if I took it, it is still unknown whether it will be effective. ”

"Woo... I hate him so much, but I don't know why, when he pulled my blood and dripped on the heart of ice, there was no trace of expectation and joy in his eyes, maybe because of this, I couldn't kill him just now, Mr. Bai Li, this seven-colored exquisite pill may be able to save his life, next time, we are enemies, I will definitely kill him..."

Raising her tear-stained face, Cheng Ying looked at the sword shadow that was motionless and said softly.

"Hey..."

With a sigh, Bai Li knew the girl's mood at this time, and nodded with a wry smile.

Seeing Bai Li, who had acquiesced, Cheng Ying wiped away her tears, walked to the sword shadow with a smirk, and muttered to herself, "What a stupid..."

"No, it's not worth it... Besides, I'm just using you for my own purposes..."

A faint voice came from the young man's frozen purple lips, which made Cheng Ying look panicked, and almost threw out the pill.

Seeing the sword shadow that was still conscious, Bai Li was slightly surprised, but Cheng Ying lowered her head shyly.

Out of nowhere, he raised a trace of strength, only to see the sword shadow propping up his body, and there was imperceptible guilt in his godless eyes.

"I kept wandering, but I wanted to find a way to live more than I wanted to find my father. ”

"But in the process, I met you who had the same experience as me, several times or even dozens of times more painful than me, but you can still face life with a smile......"

"Ahem..."

Wiping away the dark blood stains from the corners of his mouth, the sword shadow looked at Cheng Ying's eyes, and gradually became cold.

"Cheng Ying, do you know how much I hate you and how jealous I am of you..."

Her face changed slightly, and Cheng Ying, who was in a hurry to avoid the eyes of the sword shadow, lowered her head,

Although many years have passed, the words are in her ears, of course Cheng Ying knows the reason why Jian Ying hates her, but she can't show it, and she must not agree.

Perhaps feeling guilty about what he had done in the past, the indifference in Jian Ying's eyes eased slightly, and his tone became calmer.

"Actually, I really didn't mean to harm you, and I never expected that the ice arena would collapse..."

"Because I have been there many times before I met you, and I know that it takes more than half of the blood to dissolve the heart of ice, but where should I get half of the fresh human blood, because even if I am a cultivator, it will be extremely dangerous to lose half of my life. ”

"I've been waiting, I've been waiting, and in the process, I've tried to dissolve the Heart of Ice, but..."

The words gradually stopped, looking at Jian Ying's eyes full of shame, Cheng Ying suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

"I was scared, really scared, watching my blood pour into the Heart of Ice bit by bit, I never felt that death was so close to me..."

So, I gave up, I escaped from that suffocating place, walked aimlessly, and met you by chance. ”

"Like a gift from heaven, you have an extraordinary physique, an inexhaustible flow of blood, and you are the best candidate. ”

Facing the scorching gaze of the sword shadow and recalling the previous analogy to herself, Cheng Ying's pink face was decorated with crimson, and her beautiful eyes were full of shame.

Seeing this, Bai Li couldn't help but shake his head, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "Just like that, he threatened to take revenge, and now it seems that he has put himself in it, but how can this kid get along..."

As if he didn't notice Cheng Ying's abnormality, Jian Ying continued, "Even if it's deliberate, I deceived you into trusting and tricked you into that ice arena, and then cut your pulse..."

"With your help, the heart of ice melted quickly, but the exercises in the books were mutually exclusive to the aura in my body, uh..."

His breathing gradually became rapid, and the pain from his body made Jian Ying clearly realize that the cold poison was about to invade his heart.

"Stop talking, eat this. ”

As soon as Cheng Ying's words fell, before she could hand over the pill, Jian Ying had already refused.

"It's not worth it, I don't deserve this pill, listen to me after I finish speaking..."

"I hate the injustice of the sky, but there is nothing I can do about it..."

"Looking at you who fainted on the ground, I had a plan, so I sutured the wound, and when I left, I easily pierced the ice rock and blocked you there, hoping that you can inherit the extremely cold bloodline and practice the book exercises, and when you are successful, I can take the opportunity to absorb the blood in your body to relieve the fire poison in my body. ”

"What I didn't expect was that not long after I left, the ice began to crack until it was reduced to ruins. ”

"In the next six months, I tried all kinds of methods, but it was difficult to remove those thick ice rocks, and I had no choice but to give up. ”

There was endless sighs in the light sigh, as if she saw the guilt and self-blame in Jian Ying's eyes, Cheng Ying bit her lip lightly.

She knew that she didn't hate the person in front of her, and she also knew that if it weren't for him, she would probably still be struggling in that dire hell.

"Fortunately, you are still alive, and you have the talent and strength that I can't catch up with in this life, but the luckiest thing is that I sucked your blood as I wished, but unfortunately this pain has become even more unbearable..."

At the end of the words, the smile that had appeared on Sword Shadow's face began to distort, and the intense pain that came from the depths of his mind really made him miserable.

Seeing this, Bai Li hurriedly took first aid measures and pushed a part of the aura that had been condensed and domesticated into the body of the sword shadow, but unexpectedly, the moment the aura entered the body of the sword shadow, it was dissolved by the gray flames.

"Uh..."

The backlash brought made Bai Li snort, and his throat was about to spit out blood, but because Cheng Ying was on the side, he frowned and swallowed it back into his stomach.

After a long time, Bai Li asked, "Who are you, the person who helped you transplant the spiritual root at least has the strength of the spirit crystal stage, and besides, this weird aura..."

"Wow..."

Before Bai Li could finish speaking, the colic churning stomach caused Jian Ying to vomit, and the large amount of pitch-black matter splashed on the ground emitted a suffocating rancid smell and blood, and the two people on the side unconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

"Who, come out for me!"

Suddenly, Bai Li shouted coldly, his eyes locked on the forest not far away.

"Psiform..."

The middle-aged man thought secretly in his heart, and then walked from the forest to Bai Li's side.

Glancing at it casually, the man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just saw a strange light falling from the sky, so I couldn't help but come over to see what treasures there are..."

Suddenly found the young man lying on the ground, the man who was halfway through the conversation put away his smiling face, and walked quickly to the sword shadow, although his whole body was covered by a black robe, but he could still see the panic and uneasiness in his heart from his demeanor.

"You..."

Pulling Cheng Ying's arm, Bai Li signaled not to make a sound.

Leaning over, after seeing the young man's face clearly, the man's body couldn't stop trembling!

For a long time, with a low gasp, the black robe wrapped in the man's body gradually oozed bursts of strange gray mist, which floated in the air, exuding a strange smell that could not be described in words.

As if sensing the man's killing intent, Bai Li quietly took Cheng Ying behind him.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."Facing the dying sword shadow, the man didn't expect it for three sentences in a row, which made Bai Li curious, but he still didn't forget to pay close attention to his actions.

However, at this moment, a burst of gray flames ignited from the ground for no reason, and they continued to spread along the trajectory of the incineration, and finally formed a protective circle to enclose the sword shadow.

After a period of time, the flames disappeared, and the sword shadow at this time had a ruddy complexion, not at all like a person who had been hit hard, but as if he was lying on the ground to rest due to exhaustion, seeing this, the man waved his sleeves, and the body of the sword shadow disappeared from the sight of the two for no reason!

"Spatial Spiritual Weapon..."

After seeing the man's strange ring, Bai Li did not show the slightest panic and timidity, but was calm, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant.

His gaze swept over the snowflake emblem on Bai Li's right shoulder, and the man snorted coldly and said, "It turned out to be a person from the Snow Country, but the mountains and rivers have met, and I will look forward to the next encounter!"

With that, the man jumped and disappeared into the moonlit night.

"Teacher Bai Li, will he be the sword shadow..."

After the man left, Cheng Ying asked anxiously, but she didn't find that her attitude towards Jian Ying had changed qualitatively.

Hearing this, Bai Li comforted, "It's okay, from the words and deeds of that person just now, that young man should be very important to him, no, maybe ......"

After thinking for some time to no avail, Bai Li changed the topic.

"Let's not talk about this, let's rest for a while, and then we will meet with Mentor Ye Yu to select the spirit person, this is our task. ”

"However, don't mention everything that happened from yesterday to now, don't you hear me?!"

Although she was a little confused, Cheng Ying still nodded.

"This uneasy sense of depression, the man just now... What the hell is going on..."

Recalling the spiritual skills and body skills of the black-robed man before, Bai Li thought secretly in his heart, and tried to think of a clue.
