Xia Fan almost died once.

So he knew very well what it was like to be dying.

There is a great terror between life and death.

But for Xia Fan, who has experienced such a great horror once.

His mentality is completely different.

If there is one word to describe it, it is calm.

That moment.

He felt like an outsider, looking at the marquee of his life without emotion.

Laughing and scolding his uninhibited self.

Kill yourself decisively and ruthlessly.

Human beings are multifaceted.

People are affected by different environments and moods.

Therefore.

Whichever one you are, you're you.

It's just that.

You may not be able to accept the other you, or you may deliberately avoid the other you.

When you accept and embrace all of you, different sides of you.

You won't have to worry about that anymore.

About my question.

In fact, there is another important reason why Xia Fan chose to stay.

A crazy idea hidden deep in my heart.

He wanted to die once.

He wants to completely recognize himself through the great terror between life and death and solve the demons in his heart.

He has no suicidal tendencies to self-destruct.

Although he wanted to die once, he did not die for the sake of dying, but for the sake of being born again.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

All the time.

Xia Fan is troubled.

The questions that plague me, the questions that plague my life, the questions that plague the future......

When these problems accumulate to a threshold.

Then the demons appeared.

Over the years.

He is always looking for answers to his demons.

He thought about it a lot.

But in the end, it didn't help to solve the problem of how to solve the demons.

In other words.

For a long time he seemed to have nothing to do.

In fact, his mind was thinking about these things all the time.

It doesn't matter if it's useful or not.

He's already made it a habit.

Even if he knew in his heart that these were problems that could not solve the demons in his heart.

To get used to it is to get used to it.

Right now.

He didn't want to get used to it anymore.

That moment.

Browse the marquee of life.

Xia Fan's heart seemed to have put down a heavy stone.

Relief.

Yes.

The troubles of the past disappeared at that moment.

This is a feeling that can only be truly experienced by experiencing the taste of death.

"Huh?"

Meanwhile.

When the grass owl struck Xia Fan hard.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chased after Xia Fan, and was sure to kill Xia Fan completely.

However.

When he was about to approach Xia Fan at the moment.

He suddenly smelled an indescribable aura from Xia Fan's decaying body.

Ethereal, vigorous, energetic?

The grass owl couldn't think of a description, but he instinctively had an ominous premonition.

"Die!"

The grass owl is a demon who makes quick decisions.

I saw that his hands turned into two huge and incomparably large wings, and they fell directly towards Xia Fan.

Bang –

At the last moment.

Xia Fan suddenly opened his clear eyes, which were no longer blurry.

When the grass owl's wings were less than three inches away from Xia Fan.

A pair of clenched iron fists have already met it.

Accompanied by a violent collision, the sound of air explosions sounded.

The figures of the two of them instantly flew apart.

"Whew...... It's so relaxing right now!"

Xia Fan froze in the air.

I couldn't help but open my hands on my face, showing a look of comfort and enjoyment.

After using the great terror between life and death to successfully solve the demons in his heart.

Xia Fan felt as if he had been relieved of layers of burdens from the inside out, and his whole body felt extremely transparent.

His cultivation is still at the peak of human immortals.

But after unloading the burden of the heart.

There is no doubt that his strength has reached a new level.

"You ......"

Afar.

The grass owls that stabilized their bodies were all incredulous.

Why did Xia Fan, who was still lifeless just now, jump alive in a blink of an eye?

True.

His body was still in a state of severe injury and decay.

But his spirit is completely different.

It was as if a green grass seedling had grown out of the soil that had been burned to the ground.

"Lao Tzu's time is running out, I don't have time to explain to you, get in the car quickly!"

Get in?

What kind of car to get into?

A hearse, of course!

Xia Fan didn't enjoy the feeling of being reborn for too long.

He moved his heavy body, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported in front of the grass owl, completely ignoring the injuries of his body, and swung countless fists at the grass owl.

Although the grass owl has been on guard.

However, he didn't expect that Xia Fan's explosive power would be so fast and strong.

It all looks like they're going to die together.

"This is my last strength!! let's die for Lao Tzu!!"

One punch.

Two punches.

A succession of countless fists broke through the grass owl's defenses.

The middle door is wide open.

Violent fists were imprinted on the grass owl's body.

Suddenly.

The grass owl twisted its body in the air like a rag doll, and bright red blood splashed down.

When Xia Fan shouted the last sentence with a hideous face.

The grass owl suddenly fell from the sky to the ground.

Bang –

The earth cracked.

The mountain peaks cracked.

Smoke and dust rose from the sky.

A looming figure slowly walked through the smoke and dust.

Ahead.

The scarred and blood-covered grass owl struggled to get up in pain.

When a man's shadow appears in front of him.

The grass owl's body was stiff.

Smack-

The figure moved.

Immediately afterwards, the grass owl lost its motionlessness and was no longer alive.

Xia Fan withdrew his blood-stained foot.

In an instant, it disappeared in place.

"It's too late, two sons, please get in the car. ”

Another place.

The two demons, who are too badly injured to continue fighting, are trying to recover from their injuries.

Suddenly.

A calm voice rang in my ears.

Before they could react, each other's heads burst open.

"It's a pity. ”

After defeating these two demons.

Xia Fan raised his head and looked into the distance.

There.

There is also a demon who has seriously injured himself before.

The problem is that he doesn't have the strength to kill the other party anymore.

So far.

His body was already reaching a limit.

If you force it any further.

He's really going to explode and die.

Leaving a regretful sigh, Xia Fan's figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Huh?"

There is no Huazong.

Inside the forbidden grounds.

Cheng Fan, who was recuperating in the forbidden land, suddenly opened his eyes.

The next moment.

He appeared outside the forbidden land.

"You ......"

When he saw the uninvited guest suddenly coming from outside the forbidden land, his face couldn't help but show a look of shock and horror.

"Hey, it's been a long time, I'm here to borrow a place to retreat and heal. ”

Xia Fan smiled and raised his hand to greet Cheng Fan, who appeared in front of him, and didn't seem to care at all about his body that was about to collapse.

"Dare to ask Daoyou, what's going on?"

Cheng Fan came back to his senses.

immediately rushed forward and said with a solemn expression.

At the same time, there was an extra elixir in his hand that exuded a strong aura fragrance.

"Fellow Daoist, please take this pill immediately. ”

"It tastes good. ”

Xia Fan was not polite to Cheng Fan at all, took the pill and chewed it twice and swallowed it into his body.

"Not long ago, I met five demons who came to assassinate me, and as for the result, just look at the way I look now. ”

"Fellow Daoist, you ......"

When Cheng Fan heard this, he immediately looked at Xia Fan with complicated eyes.

Although the elixir temporarily delayed the injuries in Xia Fan's body, he could be a monk in the same realm as Xia Fan.

How could he not see Xia Fan's current physical condition.

Even if he can take out the genius earth treasure for healing now, he can't cure Xia Fan.

Because.

Xia Fan's body was on the verge of collapse, and the qi and blood in his body had decayed to the extreme.

In other words.

He didn't live long.

"There's only so much I can do to help you, and you'll have to rely on yourself for the next three to five years. ”

However, Xia Fan always acted unimpressed.

said.

He strode towards the cave in the forbidden land.

"Also, for the next three to five years, I hope that you will ensure my safety during the retreat, and at the same time do not tell Dong Chaeling about my situation. ”

"Fellow Daoist...... I've written down everything you said. ”

Cheng Fan's face was crossed with a touch of sadness.

Maybe it seems to him.

These are Xia Fan's dying words.

"Don't be so sad, you look at me now like you look at a dead person, who said Lao Tzu would die?"

Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders without looking back, and at the same time did not forget to continue to emphasize again.

"Remember, if you want to protect the Asuka Dynasty in the future, then you must ensure the safety of Lao Tzu during the retreat for the next three to five years. ”

“...... Don't worry, fellow Daoist, as long as Poor Dao is still alive, then no one can hurt you. ”

Cheng Fan was silent for a moment and sighed lightly.

"Then I'll go into retreat, see you in the future. ”

Unconsciously.

Each other has come to a cave.

Xia Fan casually pushed open the door of the cave mansion, turned around and nodded at Cheng Fan with a smile, and then turned around and walked into the cave mansion without hesitation.

After Xia Fan walked into the cave.

The gates of the cave were slammed shut.

Cheng Fan was left alone, staring at the gate of the cave in a daze.

"Senior, dare to ask what happened?"

It didn't take long.

Yu Shengyin suddenly hurried to Cheng Fan's side, which was still staying in front of the cave.

"That fellow Taoist came just now, and then entered the cave in front of him to retreat. ”

"Senior, do you mean that your honor has come up?"

Yu Shengyin suddenly looked at the cave with the closed door in front of him in disbelief.

"Yes, not only is he here, but he may be dismembered here in the near future. ”

Cheng Fan said with a gloomy expression.

"What?!"

Yu Shengyin naturally understood the meaning of autopsy.

The autopsy meant that Xia Fan was going to die.

"Senior, what the hell is going on?!"

"He was assassinated by a demon, and it was an extraordinary assassination. ”

Cheng Fan said succinctly.

According to what he said, there were five demons that assassinated him, and with the cultivation of Daoyou, it is conceivable that the demons who assassinated him possessed. ”

“......”

Yu Shengyin's face turned pale when he heard this.

If you want to assassinate Xia Fan.

Then the demons who assassinated Xia Fan must at least have the strength of the human immortal realm.

Facing the assassination of five demons in the realm of immortals.

Who can guarantee that they will survive?

So Xia Fan is no exception.

"What about the demons who assassinated the Venerable?"

After Yu Shengyin calmed down a little, he instantly thought of a question.

Daoyou didn't say it, but in the opinion of the poor Dao, the other party is bound to pay a heavy price as well. ”

Cheng Fan shook his head and said.

In fact.

He still missed the demon's loss this time.

There are some things that cannot be hidden.

When the news of the death of Grass Owl and others reached the ears of Cheng Fan and Yu Shengyin, they were shocked to death.

Four dead and one seriously wounded!

Who would have thought of it.

Xia Fan's record could be so terrifying.

Rely on the body of a human immortal.

He fought and killed four demons of the same realm, and at the same time severely injured one.

This news undoubtedly greatly boosted the cultivators of the Asuka Dynasty.

And the demons who heard about it inevitably suffered a blow in morale.

Is Xia Fan still alive?

This is the most important thing for all Asuka Dynasty cultivators at the moment.

Cheng Fan and Yu Shengyin naturally couldn't say that Xia Fan was going to be autopsied, after all, as soon as the news came out, it would inevitably hit each other's morale.

Therefore.

Cheng Fan and Yu Shengyin both declared to the outside world.

Xia Fan was seriously injured in the fight with the grass owl and others, and is now in retreat to recuperate.

Once Xia Fan recovered from his injury, he was out of the customs.

Under his leadership.

The Asuka Dao Alliance is bound to sweep away all the invading demons in the territory.

As for the demons, it is most clear that Xia Fan's life and death are the best.

Luo Xuan.

Don't forget that Luo Xuan planted a mark in Xia Fan's body.

Therefore, Xia Fan is the most clear whether he is alive or dead.

He's alive.

If he is already dead.

Then the imprint will dissipate in his body.

But according to Gao Xuan's confession.

The other party once burned Shouyuan's qi and blood, even though he didn't know what method he used to kill the grass owl and others one by one.

However, Xia Fan, who burned the vitality and blood of Shou Yuan a lot, would be like a waste even if he could survive.

In order to stabilize the morale of the demons.

The demon naturally wants to claim that Xia Fan, who burned Shouyuan's qi and blood, is not far from death, and Cheng Fan and Yu Shengyin are undoubtedly lying.

Time.

The Asuka Dao Alliance and the demons have all started a public opinion war.

In the end, Xia Fan became Schrödinger's Xia Fan.

Whether it is a human monk or a demon, it is no longer possible to tell whether Xia Fan is dead or alive.

Meanwhile.

Xia Fan's outstanding achievements quickly spread throughout the surrounding dynasties and sects, and continued to spread farther away.

After all.

Xia Fan's record is too exaggerated.

It's a macho man from the sky!

And about Xia Fan's life experience, it has aroused everyone's curiosity and speculation.

"Senior ......"

In a wine shop in the fang market that is not known how many miles away from the Asuka Dynasty.

In the corner sat a young man who was silently tasting spiritual wine.

When he heard that the cultivators nearby were discussing Xia Fan's affairs in a whisper.

The wine glasses in his hand fell on the table in an instant.

In the twinkling of an eye.

He disappeared into the liquor store!

"Oh no! shopkeeper! Someone drinks overlord wine!"

The young man seemed unconcerned about the riots he had caused.

The next moment.

He appeared in front of a quaint room, and then in a hurry he pushed open the door and entered.

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu! I finally know the whereabouts of my predecessor!"
