The third level of martial arts is the most important turning point in every martial artist's life, and it is also known as the realm of one thought of heaven and one thought of hell by the cultivation world.

When the third level is reached, if it is determined that you have a martial source or spiritual vein, you will definitely step into the sky, and from then on the carp will jump into the dragon gate, if you do not have a martial source spiritual vein, you will definitely fall into the abyss, be sentenced to death, and cut off the path of cultivation for the rest of your life.

Therefore, for this realm, every warrior is full of endless hope and anxiety.

Even Zhou Yan is the same.

In order to achieve the promotion assessment of Ling Chen's martial arts hall a month later, Zhou Yan did not hesitate to spend four hundred taels of gold to buy the aid of the body refining elixir, so as to reach the third level of martial arts as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Yan had just broken through to the second level of martial arts, and it was not easy to reach the third level soon.

The medicinal power of a Violent Bear Blood Essence Pill tortured Zhou Yan until dawn, and the painful violent medicinal properties were all absorbed by him.

But there is still a long way to go before the opportunity to break through the third level of martial arts.

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, did not hesitate, poured out the second Storm Bear Blood Essence Pill and swallowed it, and continued to start refining, consolidating his own blood and qi, and refining his flesh and bones.

The sky was already bright, and soon, Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and little sister Zhou Le all woke up.

After making breakfast, Zhou's mother and Zhou Le wanted to call Zhou Yan, but they were stopped by Zhou's father, saying that martial artists should not be disturbed when practicing.

Time passed slowly, bit by bit, and soon it was noon.

But Zhou Yan remained motionless, letting the scorching sun scorch.

In the middle of the term, Zhou's mother and Zhou Le came to see Zhou Yan from afar, but they didn't dare to disturb, so they could only put the tea and meals not far away.

I hope that when Zhou Yan has a little free time, he can eat some by himself.

Soon, it was night again.

However, Zhou Yan still hadn't finished his cultivation, and although his face was boiling with blood, even if he had taken two precious Nine Rank Pills, he still didn't feel the third barrier of a martial artist.

But it was not without effect, after the two Nine Rank Pills were refined, Zhou Yan clearly felt that his own blood qi was boiling like fire, and it was at least thirty percent stronger than before.

After all, he didn't eat for a day and a night, Zhou Yan was so hungry that he was growling, and after sweeping away all the tea and meals left by Zhou's mother, he prepared in place again and continued to cultivate.

This time, after Zhou Yan's face struggled for a long time, he directly poured out the last two Shankui Melting Blood Pills together, and he swallowed them all into his mouth without any hesitation.

If he couldn't feel the third barrier of the martial artist after taking these two expensive Nine Rank Pills, Zhou Yan would definitely be so depressed that he vomited blood.

Then, I had to go to the Tianya Pill Pavilion again and buy expensive body refining pills like cutting meat.

There is no sun and moon in cultivation, time flies quickly, and Zhou Yan has been there for four days and four nights in the Yanwu Field.

If it weren't for Zhou's mother and Zhou Le knowing that the meals they brought every day were eaten by Zhou Yan, they would definitely be frightened.

On the fourth day, the weather was a little overcast, with dark clouds and cold winds, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Zhou Yan is still in penance, but his family has welcomed a group of unkind guests.

"Bang!"

The gate of Zhou's house was suddenly kicked open by someone violently.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce man who knew at a glance that he was not a good man broke into Zhou's house.

"What about the people, where are the people dead? Get out of here!"

This evil man with a rough beard, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a bad body, his eyes are cold, his lips are fierce, and he has a sharp knife pinned to his waist, and he is shouting in the courtyard of the Zhou family.

Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and Zhou Le, rushed to hear the sound.

"Who are you, how dare you trespass on people's houses, what do you want to do?"

Although Zhou Le was young, he was bold, and pointed to this fierce and evil man with a knife, and reprimanded.

"My name is Luo Sanba, and I am from Linyuan Town. Presumably you are the family of this bastard Zhou Yun. ”

Luo Sanba didn't look at Zhou's father and Zhou's mother at all, but looked at everything in the courtyard wantonly, as if he was looking at his own things.

"Yes, Zhou Yun is my rebel. ”

Father Zhou said lightly.

"Okay, just admit it. Here, drag that bastard in. ”

Luo Sanba shouted outward, and soon, several evil men with the same fierce eyebrows and unkind eyes broke in from outside.

In their hands, two slender cold chains were dragged.

There were obvious traces of coagulated blood on the chains, and behind them were two wounded men and women with blue and purple faces, like prisoners.

A man and a woman, who had been tortured, had dirty faces, unclear facial features, a blue and purple body, a blue nose and swollen face, and were obviously tortured.

"Zhou Yun, you think that if you don't lead the way, I won't be able to find your parents, dreaming. They have confessed that you are their son. ”

Luo Sanba viciously kicked the man who was almost formless.

"No, no. I don't know them. They weren't my parents. ”

With a miserable face, the man chained exclaimed excitedly.

"Shout, dare to be stubborn. I'll kill your daughter-in-law to see if you admit it. ”

As he spoke, Luo Sanba stretched out his thick palm, like a beast's claw, with great force and ferocity, and waved his hand towards the miserable woman with a slightly convex lower abdomen, pregnant, and also locked up.

"There's a kind of ability to beat me, what kind of ability is it to beat me and beat my woman. ”

Zhou Yun screamed excitedly, pounced on his daughter-in-law, and used his body to block the slap for his daughter-in-law.

"Stop!"

Father Zhou's thin and thin body, at this moment, was full of irrepressible anger and shouted.

"Son, yes..... Is that you?"

Zhou's mother was stunned, her eyes were red, and she couldn't believe it for a while, this man and a woman who were tortured with iron chains turned out to be her eldest son and daughter-in-law.

"Big brother, sister-in-law!"

Zhou Le also cried anxiously and shouted: "What kind of wicked people are you, why do you lock up my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I will go to report to the official and arrest you all." ”

"Nonsense, I don't know you, you recognize the wrong person. Stinky old man, old woman, see clearly and recognize your son, I am not your son. ”

Zhou Yun hurriedly shouted.

"Shout, you still dare to pretend to be garlic with me, Lao Tzu can't beat you. ”

Luo Sanba was angry, and he was about to beat Zhou Yun again, and at the same time said to Zhou Le: "Report to the official, just go, pay off the debt, it is right, Lao Tzu is afraid of a fart." ”

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Father Zhou took a step forward, looked directly at the vicious Luo Sanba, and said calmly.

Luo Sanba was a little surprised, an ordinary old man, he was not afraid of facing him.

"Zhou Yun borrowed a high debt from me, and this is his IOU. ”

Luo Sanba laughed wildly, and took out an IOU with a bloody fingerprint from his bosom to show Zhou's father and them.

"Didn't my eldest brother send you ten taels of gold to pay you back?"

Zhou Le said angrily.

Luo Sanba sneered and said, "Hmph, are you joking? He didn't pay it back for a month, and now he has thirty taels of gold with interest." Wild girl, is ten taels of gold enough?"

"What, you wicked people. My eldest brother borrowed less than two taels of gold from you, and you dare to force thirty taels of gold, is there still a royal law?"

Zhou Le shouted in anger.

"Too lazy to talk nonsense with you. As the saying goes, the father's debts are repaid by the son, and the son's debts are repaid by the father. Don't say that I, Luo Sanba, don't talk about human feelings, if you give me thirty taels of gold now, the debt will be wiped out, and I will immediately let go of Zhou Yun and his daughter-in-law. ”

As he spoke, Luo Sanba smiled greedily, looked at the entire large courtyard, and said with an evil smile: "If you can't come up with the money, it doesn't matter." This house is not bad, so we will use this house to pay off our debts. ”

"Bah, you bandits and bandits who have lost their conscience. ”

Zhou Le was so angry that his face turned pale.

Zhou Yun screamed excitedly: "Luo Sanba, you black-hearted bastard. Ten taels of gold is enough to pay off all debts. You have a black heart to blackmail money, they are not my parents, you have the ability to kill me!"

"A cheap dog, give Lao Tzu his stinky mouth. ”

Luo Sanba's eyes were fierce, and he commanded his subordinates.

"Bang Bang!"

At that moment, Zhou Yun received several big blows on his mouth, and he vomited blood, his lips were swollen, and he couldn't speak anymore.

This made Zhou's mother heartbroken.

"You wicked people, I'll report to the police right now. ”

Zhou Le is very assertive, and he really wants to run to report to the official.

"Dead girl, you're looking for death. ”

Luo Sanba's eyes were vicious, and he pulled out the cold machete in his waist, and he really wanted to do it to such a little girl, and he fell with a knife.

"No!"

Zhou Yun, his daughter-in-law and Zhou's mother were shocked at the same time.

Poop!

At this moment, a strange voice spread.

The knife that Luo Sanba cut down was actually pinched by the thin father Zhou.

Father Zhou caught the blade with his palm, and a large amount of blood flowed from his palm.

"Dead old man, if you don't pay off your debts, you--mom still dare to do it? That Lao Tzu killed your whole family today. ”

Luo Sanba was extremely ferocious, his forehead was bruised, and above his body, three extremely condensed wild bull appearances flashed, he turned out to be a strong man with three martial arts.

At the same time, Father Zhou's dark eyes also flashed an unprecedented light, looking directly at Luo Sanba,-for-tat.

Just as it was about to erupt, suddenly a powerful voice came.

"Well, don't you just want money, why fight and kill. ”

Zhou Yan didn't know when he appeared, and quickly walked here.

"Yan'er. ”

"Second brother. ”

"Second brother. ”

Seeing Zhou Yan appear, Zhou's mother, Zhou Le and Zhou Yun were very excited.

"Yo, you must be Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan's second brother who practiced martial arts in Lingchen Martial Hall, right?"

Seeing Zhou Yan appear, Luo Sanba put away the knife temporarily.

This Luo Sanba dared to come to the lion to open his mouth to cheat money, and he really came prepared, and even Zhou Yan's details were clear.

After Luo Sanba put away the knife, the cold glint in Zhou's father's eyes slowly disappeared.

"Exactly. ”

Zhou Yan glanced at his father suspiciously, then stepped forward and looked at the other party.

"Okay, you are a martial artist, so you should know the truth of repaying debts. ”

Luo Sanba smirked.

"Yes, absolutely. ”

Zhou Yan replied with a smile.

"Well, everyone is a martial artist, and I won't say much nonsense. This is your eldest brother Zhou Yun's IOU, and now he is still thirty taels of gold for me with interest. Are you going to pay him back or give me this house? ”

Luo Sanba was extremely domineering, and he looked like he was determined by Zhou Yan.

"Since the eldest brother owes you money, I, as the second brother, will naturally pay him off a lot. ”

Zhou Yan didn't say a word, took out a golden ticket of thirty taels from his arms and sent it to Luo Sanba.

Seeing that Zhou Yan gave money so neatly, Luo Sanba was stunned for a while, completely unexpected.

However, seeing that Zhou Yan took out thirty taels of gold so easily, Luo Sanba was greedy again, and after accepting the money, he sneered again: "Okay, the money your eldest brother owes me is a hook." However, in order to collect the debt, I took them with me and traveled thousands of miles here, and the expenses of our brothers along the way must also be reported to me. ”

"Ten taels of gold is enough. ”

Zhou Yan smiled, and once again took out ten taels of gold and threw it to Luo Sanba.

Big donor!

Luo Sanba was ecstatic in his heart, but he was still not satisfied, and said greedily: "Also, I took care of your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I came all the way, eating and drinking, and you can get this money." ”

"You..... You've gone too far. ”

The little sister Zhou Le was so angry that she was outrageous.

Zhou Yan waved his hand at the little sister and said with a smile: "It's completely reasonable." I'll give you another ten taels of gold, and you can release them." ”

Luo Sanba and these wicked people he brought with him were all so excited that they almost screamed.

The harvest of this trip can be said to be far beyond their imagination.

Luo Sanba was ecstatic in his heart, and after accepting another ten taels of gold, although he still wanted to continue to blackmail, he really couldn't find an excuse.

Therefore, he could only wave his hand helplessly: "Unlock the lock and let them go." ”

"Since you have a hook, I will not entertain you, so please do it. ”

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, his expression was harmless, and he made a gesture of invitation to Luo Sanba and them.

"Okay, let's not bother. ”

Luo Sanba sneered, but in the depths of his eyes, there was still a light of greed and viciousness, and after he took a deep look at Zhou Yan's family, he took a group of people and swaggered away.
