"Are you afraid?"

"It's nothing more than death, what's there to be afraid of?"

The Lonely Mountains of Artese: The Valley

She stood in place, quiet without a sound, ghostly figure hanging in the dark air, slowly floating step by step, she smiled softly, Bai Sensen's teeth were like hell's ghosts.

She, clenched her palm, her right hand shook hard in the air, and a long whip of lightning appeared in the air in an instant, the mountain stone was broken, and the air was filled with the smell of saltpeter from the explosion of gunpowder.

The darkness in the air was gradually soaked into white silk by a trace of daylight, falling smoothly in the dawn space, and the east of the sky slowly revealed the white of the fish's belly, bleached with a few traces of blood red. The dragon blood flowing between the cracks in the rocks last night has dried into black blood clots and stuck to the stones at this moment, and the mountain wind of the night has no smell at this moment.

"Why don't you make a move?" Changge waved his sleeve slightly, and the air was immediately filled with some kind of inexplicable floral fragrance, like a provocation.

Yuan Yuan's heart set off a huge wave, full of countless worries and worries, she secretly clenched the whip in her hand, lightning flashed into a whirlpool magnificent, in a trance there was a blue and shining dragon flying up and down in the whirlpool, Yuan Yuan took the whip and flew in the direction of Changge, Changge stood in place, the corner of his mouth was lightly raised, the moment the whip was thrown down, she was on the side of her body, the whip passed over her head and smashed heavily on the ground, and then Yuan Yuan waved it, and the whip turned into a blue and black dragon chasing Changge and flew up and down. Changge dodged every attack of the whip and the dragon with precision and dexterity in the sky, without the slightest intention of fighting back.

At the same time, the cave not far away on the other side "boomed" and exploded a hole, after the lightning wind blade flew around and disappeared, the two figures chased out one after the other, with each fight between the two sides, the sky was shining over and over again covered with bursts of color, blue and black and pure white alternately changed, the surging divine power of the deserted night was like the sea water overwhelmed, and the whole valley echoed with the explosion of lightning and the sound of the wind tearing the eardrums.

Kazel unhurriedly caught every terrifying move of the deserted night, and with a wave of his sleeve, countless wind knives and blades in the air flashed with the brilliance of pre-dawn, as if they were pouring away with the pain of understanding love. Every second before the Wind Blade touched the Wild Night, the lines of the Wild Night's arm flashed with a burst of light, and then a shield inlaid with ancient patterns stood in front of him, and after shattering the Wind Blade, a burst of light flashed back into his arm.

"The supreme mark really lives up to its name. Caazel steadied his breath and looked at the barren night on the other side with a calm face: "Come on, go on, look at the fifth-ranked thing in your hand." ”

"I want to do what you want, I'm afraid you can't bear it. Deserted Night withdrew his earth-shaking divine power, his arm flashed blue, and the terrifying black flute appeared in his hand again. Deserted Night's eyes smiled contemptuously, and the black flute in his hand turned lightly and put it to his lips, and then the heavens and the earth were filled with ancient but vast and magnificent Sanskrit sounds, as if coming from the sky, distant and unpredictable but deep like countless sharp knives inserted into the heart.

Kazel suddenly felt a feeling of nausea in his heart, his whole body seemed to have lost all strength, like a stone from the sky and fell to the ground, his eyes turned crazy into hollow black, and he waved his arms like losing consciousness, each time countless wind blades tore through the air, shot out, and continued to fly in all directions. The only clear consciousness left in the deepest part of Kazel's heart felt that his whole body was controlled by some kind of force, and suddenly! He involuntarily raised his right hand and pulled out a cold sharp knife from behind him, he watched his right hand hold the sharp knife and frantically cut off the flesh and blood of his left arm one by one, and the blood sprayed to the ground, the sharp blade swallowed his five senses like a fire, and his mind was full of "hulahula" The muffled sound of plasma colliding, the bones of his left hand fell out through the flesh and skin, and the bloody fist-sized blood hole on his arm, along with the broken bones and meridians, was frantically torn off by the sharp knife in his right hand, and he let out a heart-rending roar, as if he was the biggest and last despair in this world.

Yuan Yuan and Changge in the distance couldn't resist the erosion of this ancient power, and the whip in the sky that turned into a giant dragon for infinite extension turned into a ray of light and returned to Yuan Yuan's palm, Changge frantically covered his ears and fell from the sky, as if pierced by a sharp knife, the beautiful skin bag, and fell heavily to the stone.

In the east of the sky, Cazel was floating in the air, leaning on the faint sunlight, dressed in green clothes and white hair, swaying wantonly, like the judge of this world, with his eyes closed and blowing the black flute easily. Caazel on the ground summoned the last clear trace of consciousness in the depths of his heart, and threw the sharp knife in his right hand to the ground with a "clang", the sweat on his forehead soaked the entire black hair, and then he stretched out his bloody left hand, endured the heart-rending pain, and released a burst of white light from his palm, and suddenly there was some kind of inexplicable sound in the air, like the sound of sea water freezing, spreading to cover the entire valley and sky, and the air seemed to suddenly disappear, frozen and disappeared. Araya in the sky suddenly felt that his chest was hit by a huge stone, there was no air to breathe, his throat seemed to be tightly choked by the eagle's claws, his face instantly turned bright red, a burst of Venus flashed in front of his eyes, dizzy, his hand was loosened, the black flute fell into the air, fell into mid-air and turned into a ray of light and returned to Araya's arm, Araya's hand grabbed his throat tightly, the expression on his face was distorted and scary, he opened his mouth to shout something, but there was no sound.

The whole valley seemed to be in a vacuum, and there was not a single sound. Changge in the other place frowned, but she was secretly glad that she was using the god of Fengyuan, she sacrificed a small formation, and the air around her circulated again, and the reason on the side was that she couldn't stand the two thunderous divine powers and fainted on the stone, and her pink clothes were also stained with blood. Deserted Night's expression began to stiffen and turn purple, and he returned to the ground with all his strength, holding on to the rock wall, life was worse than death.

Kazel stood up with his right hand holding on to the rock wall, the sweat on his forehead and the blood on his arm fell on the rock one by one, and he slowly walked towards the deserted night with pride in his eyes, and as he walked, his left hand tried to condense the wind blade. Seeing this, Changge on the side tore off a piece of black cloth from his body and covered his face, rushing over like a ghost to block in front of Deserted Night.

"Who are you? It doesn't matter...... You!" Caazel's voice was tinged with heart-rending pain.

"I don't want to fight you because I also use the Wind Yuan Deity. The masked long song deliberately lowered his voice. Kazel secretly mobilized the gods in his body in place to recover the blood hole in his arm, still moving forward step by step, he must kill anyone who wants to take away the moment of life and death. Changge saw that Caazel on the other side was still walking over step by step, and with a slight wave of the graceful gauze sleeve, a force gently rushed towards Cazel. Cazel's movements slowed down a lot because of the huge pain in his body, and the moment before the force was about to hit Cazel's chest, another force behind Cazel was like a breeze blowing through Cazel's body, colliding with the force in front of Cazel in the air.

"Brother, are you alright?" said Diexi picked up Kazel from behind, looking anxious and worried.

"I ...... It's okay!" Caazel stood up with his breath, the bloody hole in his arm slowly healing, and his muscles and flesh slowly stretched and joined. With a wave of his sleeves, a puff of smoke rose and filled the air.

When Changge looked again, Caazel and him were gone. She took off the black cloth on her face, frowned and looked at the desolate night beside her, turned around and cast a magic spell, and the condensed air was like flowing water, blowing leaves and love, hatred and hatred of unknown origin and destination. Araya took a few deep breaths, sat in place with his eyes closed and steadied his breath, the sweat on his forehead was slowly dried by the breeze, and his face slowly returned to normal.

"How are you?" Changge stretched out his hand to help Araya. Deserted Night pushed Changge's hand away, and didn't say anything, only a look of embarrassment and embarrassment. Changge pursed his lips at a loss, and the wild night was still cold as usual.

"Over there. Changge raised her eyebrows, the battle just now didn't affect her at all, and she was still the same ghostly figure as ever: "The one over there, what are you going to do?"

"I'll send him back to the Dustless Temple. The cold tone of the barren night is like a thousand years of ice, exuding a white air.

"I'll accompany you!"

Araya walked over, stretched out his strong arms, picked up Harahara, and put it on his shoulder, Harahara lay on Araya's back, and stretched out his hands to Araya's chest. Changge on the side was jealous, but he didn't say anything, and walked on the right side of the barren night. The mountain road was rugged and bumpy, and the barren night carried the original plain on his back and walked forward expressionlessly.

"Why did you cover your face just now?" Araya didn't look at Changge, he looked ahead with a cold face, and there was a trace of doubt and concern in his tone.

"I've told you before. Changge twisted his graceful posture, and explained to Araya as he walked forward: "Our Yang family is one of the best families on the wind side, and we are good friends with Kazel, and every year, my father will discuss some national affairs with Kazel and Qingyi, so it is inconvenient for me to confront Kazel head-on." ”

Araya didn't make a sound with the indifference on his face, and walked forward step by step with Yuan Yuan on his back, Changge accompanied him on the right side of Araya, watching him carry Yuan Yuan on his back, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

Behind them, the sun was slowly rising, the golden light was unreservedly smeared on the rolling hills, the verdant trees were growing the cliffs of the valley, and the body of the dragon had been buried by the rocks last night, rotting deep into the earth's crust. A gentle breeze swept through the empty valley, leaving a mournful sound, as if all sorrow had been lost.

East Wind Side of Atestus: At the foot of the Nine Dust Mountains

In the early morning, the streets are full of people, and the leaves of the fragrant trees "rattle" with the breeze, sifting through the sunlight in the space, casting mottled shadows to hide those bright sorrows. In the coming year, these sorrows were burned into ashes by the reeds, sprinkled into the sky, countless birds flapped their wings and contaminated with ashes, and flew to a distant place, where the city walls were smeared with gold paint and silver powder, and there were heroes carrying sickles, they hit the wall with a loud cry, and hit the wall with blood, and the blood burst into the yin and yang wall, a huge fragrant tree on the street, the branches were thick and thick, and the branches were luxuriant, covering the second floor of the inn next to it, under the dense foliage, the corners of Yang Huan's clothes hung down, he was lying on a thick tree trunk, and he was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, and the sword ghost was also lying quietly on the trunk on the side, the sun shone through the leaves, and shone on the body of the sword ghost, and the sword ghost moved, "Whew" The sword ghost pulled out the scabbard, floated in the air and shook it to Yang Huan's head, the sword ghost shook left and right, and knocked Yang Huan's head a few times with the hilt of the sword, Yang Huan closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Don't make trouble!" The sword ghost saw that Yang Huan still didn't open his eyes, and then knocked Yang Huan's forehead.

"Who hit me!" Yang Huan sat up suddenly! rubbing his sleepy eyes, looking at the sword ghost next to him, he took a deep lazy breath. He accidentally saw that the golden sunlight had immediately slid into the sky, and he was shocked: "Oops!" took the sword ghost back and put it back in the scabbard, jumped down from the tree, trotted all the way, and rushed to Jiuchen Mountain in a hurry. The lush Jiuchen Mountain is like a knife and axe, towering into the sky, the murmuring clear water pours down from the clouds to the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, the year-round fog surrounds it, the verdant trees call a group of birds with the breeze, the top of the mountain is everywhere, the clouds are covered, and the luxurious and magnificent mansion seats are faintly revealed, and the fairy atmosphere is swirling.

At the foot of the mountain, on a platform for a martial arts competition in front of the dark mountain gate, Bai Zhou stood in the wind, his face was cold, he was dressed in white and snow, and the green silk was like ink, and there was a junior brother standing respectfully behind him, and he did not speak. Not far away stood Min Chuan and Xiao Wu, two of them muttering with their heads down and a wicked smile. In front of them, there was a crowded team of nearly 100 people, all talking to each other.

"I see, this year's exam is hanging!"

"Yes, there are more than 100 of us, and if more than 20 people can enter, it will be considered a good deed in the previous life!"

Bai Zhou looked up at the sun in the sky, thought for a while, then turned his head slightly and whispered to the junior brother beside him, after the junior brother nodded at him, he held a scroll-like thing in his hand, engraved with ancient patterns, simple and dull.

He walked up to the crowd and coughed lightly: "Candidates, please be quiet!" The crowd that was originally chattering suddenly quieted down, quiet and terrifying. Everyone's eyes were intently on the stage.

Bai Zhou walked to the stage with a smile on his face: "Candidates, please be quiet, this year is the fifteenth enrollment of the Zero Sword Sect, and I would like to say hello to all the candidates on behalf of the head of Qingyi and all the senior brothers of the Zero Sword Sect." ”

The crowd was silent and silent.

"A total of one hundred and three people signed up for this time, the exam is divided into three sessions, each of which will eliminate the last few candidates, and in the end, only five people will pass the trial and become the fifteenth disciple of the Zero Sword Sect, and I hope that all candidates can show your best level, I wish every candidate a good result here. As soon as Bai Zhou's words fell, he turned his head to look at the little junior brother behind him.

The little junior brother held the ancient scroll in his hand, stepped forward step by step, and put the scroll in the center of the countertop. Bai Zhou turned back to his seat, his clothes fluttering. There was no movement of the scrolls on the table, and there was no sound in the crowd, all of them looked carefully at the scrolls on the stone platform. The little junior brother made a few gestures in his hand, and the clear white light disappeared above the scroll like flowing water. Suddenly, a white light spread out through the central crack of the scroll, turning into a rectangular light that swayed through the air.

"This is the emperor's seal, the other side of the light is another world, the ancient beasts are prostrate in it, the candidates enter in turn with their bare hands, and within a stick of incense, they can get the key to wear on the gluttony and walk out on time, even if they pass. ”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

"Gluttony! That's an ancient beast, bloodthirsty!"

"That's right, I'd better forget it, it's not worth losing my life for an exam!"

The crowd was full of discussions, some were confident, some were frightened, some had already left quietly, and some had anxious and worried expressions on their faces. Bai Zhou sat on a high place, saw the crowd that had decreased in an instant, put away his previous smile, and shook his head with a melancholy face. The pure white hairband behind him fluttered in the breeze, like a human god.

"Now please put the swords and magic weapons on your body on this dark wooden table, and I will keep them for everyone. With a serious expression, the little junior brother pointed to a table on the right, and then with a wave of his sleeves, a white light flashed on the wrists of the remaining candidates, and after the light disappeared instantly, a trace of red thread was wrapped around the wrist of everyone's left hand.

"This red line is for you to save your life, and if one of you really can't hold on halfway, you can tear the red line off, and it will take you out. Okay, do you guys have any questions?"

The crowd shook their heads, lined up to put all their swords on the table, and one person disappeared after passing through the white light curtain wall, leaving a brilliant white light floating in the air.

The little junior brother stood aside, looking at everyone's body vigilantly, with a grim expression. Suddenly, he grabbed a person who was about to enter the white light: "I'll keep this belt!"

The man pretended to be innocent: "Why can't this belt be brought in?"

The corner of the little junior brother's mouth was slightly raised, and he held the belt in his palm, and after a fierce red light flashed past, a thin sword with a cold light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"What do you say?" The little junior brother put his hands behind his back and looked at the person in front of him with an arrogant expression: "If you want to continue to participate, go in!"

The boy bowed his head and blushed, and walked in briskly. Dozens of people entered one by one, flashed bursts of white light, and then disappeared in place, entering another world. There are only two people left.

"Hey, wait for me!" Yang Huan ran over anxiously in the distance: "And me!" Yang Huan had just stepped on the first step on the stone platform, and was stopped by Min Chuan, who had a strand of red hair floating on his forehead, Min Chuan stretched out his arm to stop Yang Huan, with a wicked smile on his face, and half a fine grass in his mouth: "Eh, the time has come, you better go back!"

"How so? It's not even three quarters!"

"You better go back quickly, don't embarrass yourself!"

"You!" Yang Huan stared at Min Chuan in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the "Emperor Seal" who was only a few steps away from him, anxious but helpless.

"Senior Brother Min, it's not yet three quarters. Before the "Emperor Seal", Xu Fuhui had just taken a step in, and when he heard the quarrel behind his ears, he looked back and withdrew the step he had stepped into: "According to the rules, he is still qualified to participate in the trial." ”

"Xiaochuan, let him in!" Bai Zhou, who was sitting on a high place, heard a magnetic voice.

Min Chuan looked at Yang Huan stubbornly and reluctantly put his arm down. Yang Huan said "hum!" at Min Chuan, Min Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly, he lifted a strand of red hair in front of his forehead, looked at Yang Huan's departing back, and said with a smug and evil smile: "Wait and see!"

Yang Huan walked to the "Emperor Seal": "Return, why are you? You are also here to take the exam?"

Xu Fu patted Yang Huan on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go in!"

"Slow down!" Yang Huan looked back, and the little junior brother pointed to the sword ghost on his back, and then pointed to the black wooden table not far away. Yang Huan sighed helplessly, took the sword ghost down, and put it on the table. Yang Huan turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the uneasy sound of the sword ghost in the scabbard coming out of the sheath. Yang Huan turned his head and touched the hilt of the sword, "It's okay, wait for me to come back." The sword ghost fell silent instantly. Yang Huan's face was solemn, he turned around and walked into the imperial seal with Xu Fuhui, and after a burst of white light, he disappeared in place.

The Extreme of Artese: East Mountain

In the pale blue sky, a gray and black bird roared past like a meteor, and the orange lightning behind it was like thousands of wandering souls, scattering countless fragments of light in this vast space, and the sharp sound of the wind, the black oppressive air, and the towering green mountains tore through the clouds, just like a hasty change in the world.

Fu Chen and Liang Qiushui stood in front of the two broken formations with their hands behind their backs, facing the wind, their expressions serious and silent. The two broken formations in front of him continued to scatter blue-black light, and there were bursts of compelling killing intent from the array, and the formation close to the ground faintly flashed a trace of cracks.

"Do you see it?" "The lightning transformation in this formation is intricate, it should be in response to the heavenly situation, and it flows along the ground, even if it is a second, there are no less than a hundred transformations, plus the outer layer of frozen ice, I see ......" Liang Qiushui frowned with steep sword eyebrows, and his face was cold.

"Anyway, let's try it, and it's not in vain for you to come here. He didn't speak, but looked sideways at Fuchen in acquiescence. The two lifted the corners of their clothes, sat cross-legged in place, released a variety of dazzling light between their hands, and expanded to the front of the formation in front of the chest change, suddenly, two beams of light were released from the palms of the two people, a blue and a blue intertwined changes and flew up and down, sprinkling brilliant light through the sky in the air, the moment the two beams of light touched the cracks, the mountain stone "rumbled" from the top of the high mountain and rolled down, the whole valley began to shake violently, the whistling mountain wind blew away the hair in front of the Liangqiu water temples, he looked at the dust and shouted anxiously: "Go to the dust, stop it!" If this continues, the whole valley will collapse!"

"No, it will be successful immediately, we will mobilize the pure divine power in Tianbing at the same time, it will be no problem!" Liang Qiushui saw that he had already activated the divine power of the infinite gods when he saw that he had gone his own way and did not listen to the advice, and he had no choice but to launch Tianbing, two rays of light tore through the air, swirling into a river between heaven and earth, gathering countless spiritual energy in the mountains, a light was clear and blue, and a light was blue and black, and the confrontation merged into the crack. The mountain began to shake more violently, and cracks the thickness of arms began to appear on the ground in the distance, like black snakes winding rapidly. The crack in the formation suddenly released an invisible force, breaking through the air, lifting the fallen leaves on the ground, shaking away the dust and the Liangqiu water, and the two rays of light were dispersed.

Liang Qiushui sat in place, took a deep breath, his face was serious, he withdrew his divine power, the pure light gradually disappeared and shrank into his palm, the fallen leaves in the air gradually fell to the ground, and the surroundings gradually returned to calm. The two men stood up in place and breathed less. Fuchen turned to look at him: "It's okay!"

"No problem. ”

Going to the front of the formation, he carefully looked at the original crack that had now disappeared, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's it going?" Liang Qiushui looked serious not far away.

"Yes, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Fuchen looked at the footprints on the ground, with a puzzled expression: "It's just that why are there footprints other than you and me here?"

"It's not strange that there are footprints in the mountains!"

"This mountain is full of the arrow qi of the dark lan arrow, it is impossible for ordinary people to get close to the two broken formations, the mountain beasts and ordinary people will be forced back by the evil arrow qi before approaching the formation, and if you can go to the front of this formation, the strength is probably not below you and me, but I wonder why this person has already approached the formation and found the crack, why didn't he break the barrier and take away the dark lan arrow, this is what makes me feel strange. ”

Liang Qiushui frowned and thought for a moment: "Within these four countries, apart from the four of us who participated in the hunting plan back then and your precious apprentice, I really can't think of anyone else with such a pure divine skill." ”

"You don't say I really forgot!" went to the dust dusting off his clothes, with a puzzled face. A white dove flew from the gray sky, and gently landed on Liang Qiushui's shoulder, he took out the note on the pigeon's leg, and carefully looked at the contents of the note. "Oh no! Something happened!" Liang Qiu sailor clutched the note in his heart, his face worried.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going back!"

Wind side of the east of Artese: Nine Dust Mountain

The world of "Imperial Seal":

The white sky hung a strong golden light in all directions, the eastern grass and trees began to sprout gradually, and the fine spring rain fell like powder from the sky; the western sun flickered brightly, and countless cicadas on the dense leaves tirelessly made a piercing sound; the leaves in the south began to gradually wither, withering the helplessness and wind and rain that rotted into the earth's crust, and no one cared about it again; the bare tree trunks in the north were already covered with snow, and the dazzling snow light, the sky began to fall cold snowflakes and desolation.

The figures appeared in this world one by one, the light behind them gradually disappeared, everyone grew their mouths in surprise at the first sight of this world, Yang Huan and Xu Fuhui finally entered this world, and the white light behind them completely disappeared.

"This ......?" Yang Huan's eyes widened, staring at the four seasons that appeared in front of him at the same time, and involuntarily tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Return, what's going on?"

Xu Fuhui looked around vigilantly, and thought for a while: "A thousand stars are swept up in feng shui: the ancient Dao ancestor Xiangyu fought gluttony, ten days of immortality, nine days of blood like waves, and then the Quartet Soul Refining Array trapped in the mountain, its immortality and immortality for three thousand years. Xu Fu turned his head to look at Yang Huan: "I think, this should be the Quartet Soul Refining Array, but why did the Zero Sword Sect make such a big bet to let the candidates enter here for trial, if some people unravel the formation by mistake, then ......"

"Quartet Soul Refining Array? ”

"The Quartet Soul Refining Array is the condensation and refining of the souls of the four seasons of the four seasons by the Dao Ancestor, and the four seasons change alternately, trapped in the middle of eternal life, and cannot be reborn forever. Look!"

"See what?"

Xu Fuhui pointed to an open land in front of him: "Don't be confused by the scene in front of you, the four seasons, directions, magnetic poles, sunlight, and trees in the soul refining array are almost all true and false, just like the open land in front of you, it is very likely that if you step on it, the soles of your feet will be an endless abyss." So you don't run around. ”

Yang Huan's face was arrogant: "Is this formation so powerful?"

Xu Fuhui grabbed Yang Huan who rushed forward: "Don't be impulsive! Look!" Yang Huan looked forward, and the other candidates rushed forward by mistake, one of them stepped into the quagmire, falling deeper and deeper, and the people next to him couldn't avoid it and hurriedly dodged, without the slightest intention of rescuing.

Yang Huan's face changed color with a "brush".

"You follow me, I take a step, you take a step. Yang Huan hid behind Xu Fuhui with his waist bent, looking at him in front of him with a frightened face, like a timid child.

The daylight in the sky gradually faded, and the golden sunlight filled the air everywhere, and everything unknown ahead awaited them, waiting for the impending catastrophe. Between the vast heaven and earth, a dazzling white light was dazzling, like a meteor flying to the other side of the world, a few birds gradually cut through the air from the drizzle in the east, and countless soft white soft hairs like flowers flew along the road, and the brilliant rain soaked everyone's clothes, as if the tears of the last god in this world fell from the sky.
