But Rao is like this, the aftermath of the heavy ruler's fighting spirit still hit Zhen Jian's chest, Zhen Jian was thrown far away, spurting blood, curled up on the ground and couldn't get up.

First, he forcibly performed the sixth form and was counterattacked by the fighting technique, and then he was hit hard by the aftermath of the heavy ruler fighting qi, Zhen Jian's injuries at this time were extremely serious, and the fighting qi was scurrying around in his body like ten thousand ants devouring his heart, and his internal organs were turning over the river and the sea, and he was in pain.

But what is the injury on the body compared to the desperate mood?

Although Zhen Jian didn't master the sixth form of the "Emperor Nine Swords" at all, what he just cast was only the incomplete state of the sixth form, and there was still a considerable gap between it and the real sixth form, but its power was far too much more than the fifth form, and Zhen Jian even saw the hope of defeating Xiao Yan again. But Zhen Jian didn't expect that he was still defeated by Xiao Yan with one blow!

Zhen Jian's eyes straightened, he felt that the pride that belonged to him before was simply a joke, at this time he was all lost, and all his unwillingness turned into powerless despair.

Let's ask, how can the patriarch of the Zhen family's affiliated family, who doesn't even want to look at himself and is also a four-star peak Dou Emperor, can't beat him, how can he be worthy of the glory of "peerless genius"? How can he have the face to become the future successor of the head of the Zhen family? Zhen Jian only felt that his sword heart, which he had been practicing hard for many years, was shattered, everything became meaningless, and the colorful picture of life turned gray at this moment.

"Young master, young master, are you okay?"

Zhen Jian's guards couldn't care about all this, and hurriedly surrounded him, helping Zhen Jian to stuff the high-grade healing pill into Zhen Jian's mouth. The eyes were full of worry.

Zhen Jian didn't appreciate it at all, he spit out the pill "poof", and struggled to get up. didn't look at his subordinates, and didn't pay attention to Xiao Yan, who was standing not far away, and staggered towards the same road. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he only walked a few steps and fell heavily to the ground, splashing a little dust.

But he supported his body with his hands and shook it a few times, and then stood up, and continued to take steps forward. The whole person has become a lot of vicissitudes at this moment.

The guards looked at Zhen Jian's back blankly, and the worry in their eyes was even stronger, but they didn't know what to do. Long. Only then did one of the guards seem to remember something, and shouted to Zhen Jian: "Young Master, you haven't taken your sword yet!" ”

Zhen Jian ignored it, still staggering forward with empty eyes.

The guard froze for a moment. Picked up the sword from the ground and chased after it. Respectfully handed it to Zhen Jian - "Young Master, your sword." ”

“hahahaha。” Zhen Jian didn't stretch out his hand to take the sword, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and two lines of tears flowed, "I have been immersed in the way of the sword since I was a child, but today I have been defeated again and again, what face do I have to wear this sword again?" ”

"This" The guard's lips curled at him, and he dared to answer, so he had to watch Zhen Jian's lost back fade away.

"Put the sword away. We catch up. If something happens to the young master, none of us will survive. ”

The other guard, who seemed to be quite prestigious among the crowd, glanced back at Xiao Yan with an unusually complicated expression. waved his hand and led a group of people to chase after him.

The mountain road was quiet again, and the mountain wind blew up the dust on the ground and dispersed in the air, casting a touch of oppression in the sky near twilight.

Xiao Yan had been watching this scene silently with an expressionless face, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.

"The thick murderous aura that erupted from your body just now scared me a lot, I thought you would really be a killer!" Jing Wuchen stepped up and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, his eyes were full of admiration, "I can control my emotions in anger, and I can also accept it at will in the battle of life and death, Brother Xiao, your calmness and exquisite control of fighting skills really make me admire the master." ”

"That Zhen Jian is too ignorant, obviously his skills are not as good as others, and he still pushes me again and again, I did have the urge to kill him just now." Xiao Yan said with a gloomy face, "But you and I both know that it is better not to kill this Zhen Jian unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

"However, although I did not kill him, he is no different from being abolished."

A smile gradually appeared on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth.

"What do you mean?"

Although Zhen Jian was not lightly injured, he had many subordinate guards, as long as he took the healing pill for some time, he would never leave any sequelae, so why did he say it? Pure and dustless is incomprehensible, and Long Yi is also incomprehensible.

"I also guessed from Zhen Jianluotuo's expression just now." Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Zhen Jian is regarded as a peerless genius in the Zhen family because of his excellent talent, he has always been above the top, and he has never experienced any setbacks, such a person, on the surface, he is gentle and polite, but he must be extremely arrogant in his bones, it is difficult to accept failure, and it is even more difficult to accept defeat in the hands of a person like me, who is very different from his status and status." ”

It can be said that today's defeat is definitely the biggest shame in his life, and with his heart, this may become a shadow that he will not be able to wave away for the rest of his life. He has been proud of his sword all his life, and the sword heart is the source of his motivation for continuous improvement, and the root of his cultivation by leaps and bounds. Now that he has abandoned his sword and left, his sword heart has been broken, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make progress in the way of the sword in this life.

"Haha, that's the best, it's better than killing him!" Jing Wuchen gave Xiao Yan a thumbs up, but he quickly thought that Xiao Yan might offend the Zhen family because of this incident, and couldn't help but remind, "But Brother Xiao, after Zhen Jian is hit by this, he will definitely hold a grudge against this matter, and I am afraid that it will be especially targeted at you in the future, so you have to guard against it." ”

"It doesn't hurt." Xiao Yan smiled disapprerovingly, "He can't get over this hurdle if he can't solve his own happiness, who will complain?" If you are the head of the Zhen family, do you think it is important for the Zhen family to be a ruined Zhen Jian, or a subsidiary family? ”

"Looks like I'm overthinking." Jing Wuchen took out two curly leaves and lit them, gave one to Xiao Yan, and took a sip of it himself.

Xiao Yan took the leaf and sighed lightly: "Alas, I really didn't expect that the aura on a genius's head would be so simple from dazzling to dim. It seems that on the road to Dou Di, talent is not the most important, but perseverance and courage are more important. ”

"Hmm." Jing Wuchen nodded understandingly, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked. "You said the Soul Shadow is not around? Will you also see the scene of the conflict between you and Zhen Jian? ”

"I don't know." At the mention of the headache-inducing guy Soul Shadow Jue, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, "If only I could know the whereabouts of that bastard." You don't have to be careful all the time. ”

Xiao Yan looked at the scarlet blood moon in the sky, thought for a moment and said, "However, I don't think it's very likely that he is close. After all, he can only shield the detection of soul power, and it is still difficult to hide his body within Shili's reach, there are a lot of people here just now, and if he watches the battle at close range, it is very easy to be detected. So I don't think he's supposed to be around. If I were a soul shadow, I would definitely stay away from everyone's field of vision and watch the changes when I saw Zhen Jian and the others coming. Because the road ahead is broken, there is no need to worry about losing us, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

"Makes sense." Jing Wuchen and Long Yi nodded at the same time, and Jing Wuchen asked. "That's what you say. Soul Shadow Absolute won't suddenly launch a sneak attack on us for the time being? ”

"Well, I don't think so. He sneaked up several times in a row without success, knowing that we must have increased our vigilance, and with the fact that I defeated Zhen Jian just now, he will definitely be more cautious because of our strength. ”

"Then do you think he'll think we're too tricky and give up?" Jing Wuchen asked Xiao Yan excitedly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled bitterly: "You want to do good things!" He won't give up, kill me. Maybe it's his mission to enter the illusion. We've had him miss a lot before, and that's an absolute shame for him who almost never misses. Therefore, I guess that he will make fewer and fewer shots in the future, but once he does, it must be a shocking kill! In other words, if we are attacked again, it will be even more dangerous than before! ”

"This soul shadow is really annoying!"

Long Yi held back his anger and had nowhere to vent, so he angrily pierced the thunderbolt spear into the mountain road.

Jing Wuchen also threw the curly leaves to the ground, and said hatefully: "That's it, I know that he is hiding in the dark nearby, but I can't find him, it's really fucking depressing." ”

Seeing the depressed appearance of the two companions, Xiao Yan calmed down and boosted his morale: "Don't worry, when you get to the inner circle, there will always be a way to deal with him." Are you so unconfident in me? I'm still thinking about the treasure on his body that can shield him from the detection of soul power. ”

Xiao Yan's ridicule made Jing Wuchen and Long Yi's mood improve a lot at once, and Jing Wuchen said angrily: "But we don't even know how to enter the inner circle!" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Xiao Yan leaned lazily against the cliff, spit out a few beautiful smoke rings in his mouth, and waited until the smoke rings slowly dispersed before he spoke, "So many people have entered, let's pay close attention to it, we will definitely find the entrance." Let's go. ”

Came to the end of the mountain road again, there were still misty clouds and mist below, and the greenery was looming, and Xiao Yan and the three of them observed quietly.

Gradually, the night fell, the blood moon in the sky appeared even colder, Long Yi's pair of eyes that flashed a little golden lightning from time to time began to have a trace of irritability, and Jing Wuchen couldn't help muttering: "I've been looking for a long time, why can't I find the entrance?" ”

"Hehe, I'm getting impatient just a while?" Xiao Yan looked down and said, "We have to learn from our opponent's strengths. You see the soul shadow, in order to kill me, you have patiently tracked us for so long and have not shown up, you have not improved in terms of patience? ”

"When I think of the soul shadow, I am like a thorn, how can I still have the heart to learn any patience?" Jing Wuchen played with the flying knife and pouted, not impressing.

Xiao Yan smiled and didn't speak again.

As the night darkens, a cool breeze blows, and the mountain road becomes even more lonely.

Just as Pure Dust and Long Yi's patience were about to run out, the white mist that covered the shield under the mountain path suddenly surged and tumbled, slowly dispersing to both sides, revealing a translucent shield. At the same time, the blood moon in the sky suddenly became brighter, and a pillar of light fell from the blood moon, just falling on the shield.

As soon as it was illuminated by the pillar of light, the shield quickly dissolved into a circular hole about five meters in diameter like ice and snow encountering open flames, in which there was a faint light.

"Look, look!" Jing Wuchen jumped up happily, pointed to the round hole and shouted, "This must be the entrance to the inner perimeter, it must be!" Let's get inside! ”

"Don't worry." Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to stop Jing Wuchen's impatient footsteps, and sucked in the air, sucking a round shield on the mountain road into his hand, and then with a flick of his wrist, the round shield drew an arc through the pillar of light of the blood moon and fell into the round hole.

This time, instead of shattering into pieces like the spear before, the round shield fell into the round hole unscathed, and Xiangxia fell.

Jing Wuchen and Long Yi pricked up their ears and listened for a long time, but they didn't hear any sound, as if there was a bottomless pit under the round hole.

"You should be able to go in, right?" Pure dust asked Xiao Yan.

"Well, I just attached the power of my soul to the round shield, and I sensed that there was a huge space below, and now the round shield is still in the air, and it has not yet reached the ground."

Xiao Yan smiled, and then stepped out, standing in the pillar of light of the blood moon, and fell towards the round hole.

"This pillar of light doesn't hurt anyone, you can come down." Xiao Yan was in mid-air, beckoning Long Yi and Jing Wuchen.

The two of them immediately leaped into the pillar of light.

As soon as the figures of the three of them landed at the entrance of the round hole of the shield, the space around them was distorted, and a mysterious liliang wrapped the three of them and fell into the round hole.
