Deep in the mountains and forests, in a hidden cave, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged, in the man's abdomen, his clothes were torn, and a wound loomed.

Mao Rui's roar came from afar, faintly into the ears of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, his divine sense carefully poked out, and found that the members of the Xiufan investigation team who searched him had decreased a lot, and they all concentrated on the place where the voice came from.

The middle-aged man covered his abdomen and struggled to get up, arched his hand in the direction of Mao Rui, and said solemnly: "This Mao Daoyou, whether you have it intentionally or unintentionally, you can be regarded as saving someone's life. ”

After saying that, Xue took out the cloth, wrapped it around his abdomen, and after reducing the blood flow, he carefully walked out of the cave.

Xue was hit by some kind of spell in the abdomen, and within a certain period of time, the wound could not heal, and the blood flowed to death, or wait until the effect of the spell passed.

There are two ways to survive, Xue doesn't have much confidence, the only thing he can do is to minimize the blood outflow, and one more second of life is a second.

And before that, he had to escape from the pursuit of the Xiufan investigation team, which was even more difficult.

If it weren't for Mao Rui's appearance, which disrupted the formation of the Xiufan investigation team, Xue could only stay in the cave and wait for death, so he had an oath to recognize Mao Rui as the master if he lived.

Everyone in the Xiufan investigation team saw that Mao Rui was not afraid of death and rushed to kill, and knew that Mao Rui was a physical cultivator, and after being approached, it would be very troublesome.

Under the gesture of an old man, he slowed down his speed and kept a certain distance from Mao Rui, and began to move closer to Mao Rui as the center, wanting to form an encirclement of Mao Rui.

There was only one person in the Xiufan investigation team, and he did not slow down.

Holding a black spear, he collided head-on with Mao Rui, and the huge shock force was transmitted back from the blood sickle and the black spear, forcing the two to retreat a large distance.

The person holding the spear was none other than Kong Chenghong, who had a profound source of blessing from the Xiufan Investigation Team and had learned the ancient pure body cultivation method that had long been lost.

In terms of close combat, Mao Rui, who did not reach the consummation of the Bronze Bone Realm, was not an opponent at all, and with many means, he could only get out of Kong Chenghong's hands.

Even if the Bronze Bone Realm has reached perfection now, and the bones turned into are already bronze-colored, Mao Rui does not dare to say that he can deal with Kong Chenghong 100%, this is a very strong opponent.

"It's you self-righteous guy again, get out of here!"

At this time, Mao Rui was affected by anger, it was the time when his temper was the most irritable, and when he saw that someone dared to stop him, and the person who stopped him was Kong Chenghong, the one who started everything, naturally he would not give a good face, and regardless of whether he could fight or not, he rushed forward with a scythe.

Kong Chenghong was not afraid of Mao Rui's attack, the spear trembled, and the tip of the spear was picked or pointed on the blood sickle, which could always deviate the direction of the blood sickle at the critical moment when Mao Rui exerted his strength, which made Mao Rui very uncomfortable.

Grumpy temper is just a manifestation of character, but it does not mean that there is no brain, after the blood sickle was lightly blocked by Kong Chenghong several times, Mao Rui already knew in his heart that even if the physical strength was the same, in terms of close combat, it was still not comparable to Kong Chenghong.

Whether it is hand-to-hand combat or weapon fighting, in terms of experience, it is several grades behind Kong Chenghong.

"Kong Chenghong, you are a hypocrite, you look righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, but you are insidious and cunning on the inside, you are a villain, a hypocrite. ”

Since he can't beat Kong Chenghong in a head-to-head encounter, he will defeat him psychologically, which is the best way Mao Rui can think of to deal with Kong Chenghong in a short time.

In the face of Mao Rui's verbal provocation, Kong Chenghong was unmoved, and gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Mao Rui.

Seeing that Kong Chenghong was unmoved, Mao Rui continued: "You keep saying that I have destroyed the balance between the cultivation realm and the mortal realm that has been maintained for thousands of years, so have you ever thought about why I did this?"

Kong Chenghong's movements paused obviously, revealing a flaw that was not too big or small.

Mao Rui's bones, in the empty eye sockets, a ray of red flashed, and the upper and lower jaws opened and closed again:

"If it weren't for you Kong Chenghong to attack me in Chengjia City, if it weren't for you Kong Chenghong to set up a formation in the Bai Family Mansion, why would I cause mortal turmoil/chaos?"

Kong Chenghong's eyes showed a look of confusion, and the strength of his shot couldn't help but drop a lot.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. The old man, who had made a gesture and ordered all the monks in the investigation team to slow down, shouted at Kong Chenghong.

The confusion in Kong Chenghong's eyes receded, and he regained his vigor again, and fought Mao Rui.

The others had already formed an effective encirclement of Mao Rui during the time that Kong Chenghong had blocked Mao Rui.

Because Mao Rui was in mid-air, there were monks from the Xiufan Investigation Team in all directions and even up and down, and from a distance, it looked like a huge sphere.

Each of the monks in the investigation team kept a certain distance from Maorui, Maorui went up, everyone went up collectively, Maorui went backwards, everyone collectively went backwards.

No matter how Mao Rui moves, he can't easily leave the entire encirclement.

Moreover, the distance between the monks of the investigation team and Mao Rui is also very subtle, this distance is difficult to reach with low-level and low-level and medium-level spells, and only low-level and high-level spells can attack the people in the encirclement from the very center.

And Mao Rui's biggest disadvantage is the spell, the highest can only be low-level and mid-level spells, he can't use long-range attacks, and can only passively become the target of others.

While passively resisting Kong Chenghong's attack, Mao Rui observed the layout of the others.

When he noticed the subtleties between himself and other monks, Mao Rui's heart sank, but he didn't lose his proportions, and continued to launch a psychological offensive against Kong Chenghong:

"Why are the monks exposed to mortals, why did nearly 100 monks of the Fan Investigation Team die in the valley within the Chu family's range, and who are these fallen people here who died? Is it me? Or are you it?"

In Mao Rui's voice, there is a peculiar sound wave, which is not harmful in itself, but has a simple guiding effect, making people associate it at a deeper level.

This is the 'temptation technique', which is one of the memories left by the people of the Burning Heaven Dao, and the use of this method can make the disciples comprehend the Dao method faster, which is the way of harmless people.

There is no good or evil in magic, it depends on how you use it.

The same temptation technique, in the hands of the Burning Heaven Daoist, can only guide the disciples to realize the Fa, but in the hands of Mao Rui, it can make Kong Chenghong psychologically unbalanced.

When Kong Jiang Chenghong was stunned for the first time, Mao Rui had not yet used the temptation technique, but just shifted the topic to this aspect, asking Kong Chenghong to think about 'why Mao Rui wants to destroy the balance between the cultivation realm and the mundane realm'.

In Mao Rui's second sentence, he still did not use the temptation technique, but used the words 'If it weren't for you Kong Chenghong' twice in a row, he guided Kong Chenghong's thoughts in another direction, that is, 'If I hadn't done that at the beginning, what would have been the result?'.

It was also at this time that Kong Chenghong's eyes showed a blank look.

If he hadn't been woken up by the old man, I'm afraid he would still be confused at the moment.

The third time, Mao Rui secretly used the temptation technique, and with the first two mental hints, with the assistance of the temptation technique, Kong Chenghong would think that the mortal turmoil/chaos, the valley and the death of many monks in the cultivation investigation team here were all due to him Kong Chenghong alone.

Sure enough, as soon as Mao Rui finished speaking, Kong Chenghong's face showed a confused look.

"Kong Chenghong, wake up, don't be fooled by the gossip. The old man in command shouted again.

It's a pity that the old man's cheers this time failed to pull Kong Chenghong back from his confusion.

Among them, there is Mao Rui's inducement technique, but the bigger reason comes from Kong Chenghong himself.

Kong Chenghong is naturally kind and jealous of evil, and every time he comes into contact with Mao Rui, he will think about the original cause of the matter, whether it was caused by himself.

It's just that in the atmosphere where everyone thinks that Mao Rui is wrong, he doesn't think about it at a deeper level.

And Mao Rui, it was in many contacts that he saw that Kong Chenghong had concerns in this regard, so he used words to hint and lure Kong Chenghong to think in this aspect.

If it were a different person, it would not be so easy to be hit. Otherwise, Mao Rui would have used temptation to control everyone a long time ago, so why bother fighting and killing here.

"Kong Chenghong, let me ask you, if you don't lead people to attack me in Chengjia City, what will happen?"

Mao Rui is not a righteous gentleman, and he will not be soft at all when he takes advantage of your illness to kill you, not to mention, in the case of less to more.

"Shut up, you shut up for me. The old man in command shouted angrily.

At the same time, he ordered everyone to cast a spell attack on Mao Rui.

Two black coffins stood up and hovered around Mao Rui, resisting many spells.

In the Xiufan investigation team, there are also two Jindan monks, Mao Rui can detect the existence of the two with his divine sense far beyond the fake Dan monks, but he can't lock the location of the two, so the dried corpses and golden-red bones in the coffin are not yet ready to be used.

"Let me ask you again, did you make the decision to arrange the formation in the Bai family, causing me to cause mortal turmoil/chaos?" This is not a hint, in the case of Kong Chenghong's sanity, it can already be regarded as forcibly instilling thoughts.

Kong Chenghong hugged his head and wailed: "It's me who has destroyed the balance for thousands of years, I'm a sinner through the ages, ah~"

The people in the Xiufan investigation team couldn't bear to see Kong Chenghong in such pain, and they all increased the intensity of the spell in their hands, hoping to kill Mao Rui as soon as possible and make Kong Chenghong recover.

The coffin could not block all the spells, Mao Rui was still suffering a lot of damage, and there were already slight cracks in a few bones, but he still continued:

"In the valley within the Chu family's range, after breaking through the battle halfway through and killing a few people, some monks from the Xiufan Investigation Team have begun to retreat, did you boost morale and make the troops continue to move forward, resulting in increased casualties?"

Although Mao Rui hid underground at the beginning, he also arranged the formation with his own hands, and he had some understanding of the situation inside and outside the formation.

Coincidentally, what Mao Rui learned happened to be a scene where Kong Chenghong's words made everyone angry.

"It's me, I've killed so many of my brothers. Kong Chenghong continued to hold his head and wail, tears flowed in his confused eyes.
