Chapter 45: The Soul-Chilling Swordsman
The beautiful mountains are winding and twisting, like a sleeping dragon. Looking up, there were white clouds and mist in the distance.
Nandian Peak is located five or six thousand miles northwest of Yansong City, this area is rampant with bandits, bandits are wanton, some merchants are detouring, would rather spend an extra ten days and a half on the foot, than risk being robbed.
Four figures walked on the mountain road, three men and one woman.
A young man in his twenties had a handsome face, and the woman beside him was also born with a beautiful national beauty. Behind them, there were two middle-aged men in their forties, these two people had a strong aura, and they seemed to be able to bring a little bit of the general trend of heaven and earth when they walked.
They were Zhong Zihao and his party of four, and the purpose of coming to Nandian Peak was of course to find the soul-aphthonizing swordsman. This way, with the strength of a few people's feet, it didn't take much time, but in the short distance up the mountain, I encountered a lot of robbers.
It's just that under the deterrence of Wei Qinghan and Qiu Luo, these robbers are also considered to have fallen into blood mold, not only did they fail to reap the slightest benefit, but they were cleaned up miserably one by one, and those with bad attitudes even put their lives into it.
"Childe, I heard that this soul-booster swordsman is a second-order powerhouse in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, if he is unwilling to submit, what should we do?" Seeing that the destination was approaching, Qiuluo finally said the question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Hahaha, Brother Qiu, I think you are too worried, the two of us join forces, are you still afraid that Cui He will not succeed?" Wei Qinghan laughed loudly, but he looked a little lacking in confidence, "Even if we are defeated, isn't there still a son?"
Wei Qinghan's mood was really unprecedentedly good, he had never wanted to see Cui He as quickly as he did today. The past experience was extremely tragic, and he was robbed by Cui He several times by himself. Although he was lucky to save his life, he really left a little psychological shadow on the words Soul Killer.
Now, accompanied by Gongzi and others, Wei Qinghan not only dared to set foot on Nandian Peak, which made martial artists near and far frightened, but even wanted to see Cui He's heart earlier, compared to the groom in the cave room. At this moment, how can he not be happy?
Zhong Zihao smiled slightly, but did not answer, his thoughts were all said by Wei Qinghan, and he didn't need to explain too much.
The four of them walked leisurely like tourists, turning most of this Nandian Peak without seeing the shadow of Cui He, just when they were a little anxious, they suddenly heard a sound of fighting in front of them.
Wei Qinghan and Qiuluo set their eyes on Zhong Zihao at the same time, and after seeing the latter nodding, they immediately used their body skills to float up and rushed behind a big stone in the distance.
Zhong Zihao chuckled lightly and followed quickly with Qin Zhining.
When he came to Wei Qinghan and Qiuluo's hiding place, he saw that the two of them looked very strange, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
"Childe, there's a good show to watch, let's show up later!" Wei Qinghan glanced at Zhong Zihao, and said with a bit of yin and yang.
Zhong Zihao became more and more curious, according to the fluctuation of the Yuan Force he sensed just now, isn't it just that there are strong people in the early stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm fighting? You said that the two of you are also not young people, why did you react like this?
However, curiosity is curiosity, he still looked out after Qin Zhining settled down. At this glance, Rao was Zhong Zihao's calmness, and the expression on his handsome face also became wonderful.
Not far ahead, in a relatively flat place, there stood two men and a woman, who should have been the two sides of the fight just now, and it seemed that their battle was over.
However, a tall man in his forties pointed in front of him with a long knife in his hand, with an angry expression on his face.
On the other side, where the long knife was pointing, two young men and women in their early thirties were pushing me to let go, hoping to die early under the knife of the forty-year-old man. The two looked like a couple, the man in a blue robe and an imposing woman, and the woman in a long white dress and a slender figure.
With Wei Qinghan's description in advance, Zhong Zihao immediately recognized the man with the knife as Cui He, who was known as the "soul-boosting knifeman".
His majestic soul power spread, and he immediately sensed that Cui He's cultivation was at the second order of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and the blue-robed man was also a powerhouse of the first order of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. The last woman, although her face was pale and she couldn't say how beautiful she was, she had a rather gentle personality, but her cultivation was at the peak of the Transformation Sea Realm.
At this moment, the young man and woman are in dialogue.
"Brother Yuan, you listen to me, I've been dragging you down for seven years, you don't need to die for me. The woman in white said affectionately, "If I die early, you will be completely liberated." ”
"No, absolutely not!"
The blue-robed man was emotional, and said slightly angrily: Shishi, you know, I am willing to do anything for you, life and death, it's just a trivial matter. As long as I use this life to convince Brother Cui that we are not lying to him, he will definitely agree to let you pick Bailu grass. I'm dead, you must live for me. ”
The white-clothed woman's eyes were moist, and she forcibly used her Yuan Force to pull the blue-robed man back a few steps, and she stood in front of him to face Cui He's long knife, and said sadly: "If you die, how can I live alone?"
"Bang!"
The blue-robed man reacted, and for the first time, he shot at the woman in white, and a soft palm force knocked her to the ground, and said angrily: "You can't live alone, will I Jiangyuan live in secret? Without you by my side, what is the meaning of my life!"
"Don't ......"
The woman in white wanted to persuade her, but was forcibly interrupted by Cui He: "You two, shut up Lao Tzu!"
"Lao Tzu just wants to rob some treasure resources, not to mention the two of you poor ghosts, but to see the two of you show affection here. Did you hear that I wouldn't kill people casually, so you deliberately came here to make fun of me?ah!" Cui He shouted bitterly.
"Brother Cui, slow down!" the blue-robed man suddenly shouted, and then made a move that Cui He never expected.
"Bang!"
I saw that the person who had not begged for mercy in the face of the fierce killing attack just now suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Brother Cui, although I, Jiangyuan, am a nameless person, I am not easy to kneel to others. My wife Dou Shishi fell into the cold pool because of the enemy's pursuit and killing, and although she escaped by luck, she was infected with the poison of the netherworld. This poison not only suppressed her cultivation and couldn't break through, but also tortured her for seven years. ”
"This time, we heard that there was a hundred dew grass growing in Nandian Peak, so we rushed all the way over, just to find this thing, and asked the alchemy master to take action and refine the detoxification pill for her. Unexpectedly, this is Brother Cui's territory, which is our fault, but the Bailu grass is indeed the spiritual grass that we have been looking for for for seven years, and only it can remove the poison in the poem. ”
"I, Jiangyuan, swear here, if Brother Cui agrees to let us pick Bailu grass, after the poem is cured, I will rush back to make cattle and horses for you. Otherwise, please kill me with a knife to vent your anger, I just hope that after I die, Brother Cui can give a Bailu grass to a plant, so that Shishi can leave safely. ”
As soon as Jiang Yuan's words came out, not only Cui He, but even Zhong Zihao, who was far behind the big stone, understood a little bit of the reason.
