The wind gently blew through the trees, dissipating the little warmth of the day. As the night wore on, the wood-covered forest became darker. Although the temperature in the forest is still above freezing, the humid and cold environment feels very bad.

The fact that people can freeze to death at night in the mountains and forests is not a threatening exhortation, but a real fact.

There were once people who went into the depths of the mountains and forests unprepared to practice courage, but they were all lost here and did not survive. When the people found their bodies and investigated the cause of their deaths, they found that except for a few unlucky ones, who had indeed encountered the terrible nocturnal predators at night, the others had frozen to death in the night forest because they had been dressed too little.

"The mountains and forests are very evil at night, and even if you are thickly dressed, you will feel cold. After such a thing happened a few times, rumors arose, and no one dared to cross the Zhongyuan Mountain unprepared at night.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Zhongyuan Mountain at night is a terrifying place for ordinary people, but for those powerful Jianghu people and monks, it is just a slightly cold existence. However, all those who have achieved cultivation and have more than five layers of forging can automatically resist such coldness by relying on the vitality operating in their bodies.

However, just because they can adapt to this environment does not mean that they like it. In fact, in this kind of yin mountain forest, no one wants to stay here except for those who practice some special exercises. After all, people are still accustomed to sunny and warm places.

Sunshine and warmth are the essence of life development. This is the same for both the demon barbarians and the human race - this is one of the reasons why the demon barbarians have always wanted to invade the south. After all, the north where they are located is too cold for their race to reproduce.

As far as the Heavenly Dao is concerned, it is understandable that they would wage war for the sake of the development of their own race.

But as far as humanity is concerned, they are the enemies who want to destroy humanity.

After the departure of the Hundred Saints, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, humanity failed, the position of the protagonist of the human race was unstable, and the alien race grew stronger. The land where the human race multiplied was gradually invaded by them.

Now, after the demon barbarian forces represented by the Ancestral Spirit Hall invaded Yanzhou in the Qianguo Kingdom, they entered Lizhou in order to hunt down the survivors of the Immortal Sect. They spread their disciples in the Zhongyuan Mountains, intending to search for Li Jingxuan, who had fled in the mountains and forests. It was an intensive manhunt. In order to find Li Jingxuan, they didn't relax for a moment, and even on this cold night, a large number of disciples from the outer sect of the Ancestral Spirit Hall were sent out to search the mountain.

"Why are we only the outer disciples who come to patrol the mountains, why can those elite disciples enjoy the warmth of the campfire and the mellow aroma of the wine in the tents of the camp? Hmm, I really want to have a bonfire to warm up and wine to enter my throat?" a complaint rose in the dark forest.

Because the treatment of elite disciples and outer disciples is very obvious, some people are dissatisfied. In front of those people, they may not dare to show this dissatisfaction, but in the places where those people can't see, it is normal for them to complain. After all, there is contrast, there is difference, and it is natural to have jealousy and dissatisfaction. This is an emotion that intelligent beings must have, and neither the human race nor the demon barbarians can avoid this.

"Stop complaining...... Who made us not an elite disciple yet?" The other person pouted helplessly: "Go hard, Bamu, as long as we get credit for this operation, we can go to the Gong Transmission Pavilion to obtain better exercises, and then we can also become stronger, and then become inner disciples." ”

"How long will it take to become an inner disciple like this? Damn, this place is not for people at all, Errent, don't you think this place is even colder than the snowy fields in the north. The person who spoke in front of him, that is, Bamu shook his body heavily and complained.

"It is true, but ......" Errent tried to persuade his companion, but the demon's naturally clumsy tongue and brain prevented him from coming up with reasonable words of comfort at once. At the moment, he could only say this: "In short, we still have to find that bastard of the Immortal Sect as soon as possible, if it weren't for him, how could we get to this point." ”

"That's right! That damn Qianguo man...... If we want to kill him, he just stretches his neck and lets us kill him. What are we trying to do to escape, so that we have wasted our strength, trouble!" Bamu agreed, and immediately replied.

"yes...... In that case, you should stretch your neck and kill me!"

The sound was faint, ethereal, and in the still, dark night it was easy to recall the terrible transparency of the dead.

"What?" Bamu was taken aback at the sudden voice.

"Yes...... Is it the ghost?" Errente was casually worried.

"Ghost, do you want to see him? In that case, I'll send you to him. The faint voice said.

Before Bamu and Erlunt could realize it, a silver light lit up in the night forest where they couldn't see their fingers, like a training passing in front of them.

"Enemy ...... Attack ......!" Errent didn't react at all, and Bamu reacted, but he could only shout these two words.

The next moment, a sharp pain came from their throats. The burning pain of the body being cut open made them want to scream in horror. However, they could not scream, for the sword that had just flashed had completely opened their throats.

"Good...... I'm going to die? No...... I still want to be an inner disciple. Glena ...... Still waiting for me to go back on the grassland. No, I don't!" Errent tried to keep struggling, but the leaky air in his throat and the blood that spurted out of his throat quickly made his body lose control.

His mind grew confused, and at the moment his eyes were about to close, he vaguely saw a thin, one-armed figure appear in front of him. It was a back, not very tall, but it looked unusually imposing. This kind of momentum has been seen in the elite inner disciples of his own sect. That was the momentum that belonged to the master of the Qi Induction Realm.

"One-armed?...... Isn't that what we're going to hunt down? Isn't that just a master of the Forging Realm? Why is it all ...... at once?"

Countless doubts flooded his mind, but he couldn't think of anything more. Because the overwhelming darkness completely engulfed his perception.

He slammed himself to the ground, turning into an unconscious corpse.

Errent was gone, and Bamu, who had his throat cut at the same time as him, did not last long. However, he was a bit luckier than Elonte. He saw the faces of those who had attacked him. That cold and handsome young face appeared in front of him, and he finally understood: "Li Jingxuan...... Our prey, only now the prey has become a hunter!"

Prey, hunter, this is defined in the hearts of the besiegers of the Ancestral Spirit Hall -- Li Jingxuan is of course the prey in their eyes, and they are naturally the hunters who hunt Li Jingxuan.

That is, both hunters and prey are defined by their self-righteousness. Although they are powerful at the moment, but with such a definition, everything is their prey, and Li Jingxuan himself does not agree with such a view.

Prey? Hehe, who rules this.

Li Jingxuan did not consciously become a prey, and even took advantage of the darkness of this night to disperse with the people of the Ancestral Spirit Palace, and regarded these outer gate addresses of the Ancestral Spirit Palace, which were far below him, as his prey.

Prey, hunter, this identity is not what you say, but must rely on strength to exist.

"Sixth, seventh......" Looking at the two people lying on the ground, Li Jingxuan muttered softly, then squatted down, touched the corpses of the two of them, took out two cowhide belt-like things and laughed: "Storage skins, it seems that these guys still have some collections." ”

Killing, touching corpses, looting...... This is what Li Jingxuan is doing now.

Although he didn't have much time to see what was hidden in these storage skins, he was sure that there would definitely be something he needed in the pockets of these disciples of the Outer Sect of the Ancestral Spirit Hall who made fighting a daily routine.

"Anyway, just go back and tidy up. Li Jingxuan muttered. He strapped these things around his body, and he was concerned that this would make his figure strange and ugly, so he jumped up to the treetops and swept away.

It was late at night, but there was still some time before the sun rose, and Li Jingxuan felt that he could take advantage of this opportunity to hunt down more disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall and lay a good foundation for his future breakthrough.

"The people who were patrolling the mountains outside were all outer disciples who had not revealed the Qi Channeling Realm. With my current strength, it would be easy to sneak up on them. Right now, my sneak attack is aimless and random...... It should not be easy for them to guess the direction of my actions. They have a few hundred or so people here. I've been killed today, more than a dozen, and the rest is more than eighty people. As long as I'm careful and take out more of them in these days, and reduce their numbers to a size, they won't be able to close me. Li Jingxuan thought confidently.

That's his current agenda for action.

"With this program and the pace of my current action, if they don't find me in three days, surround me, and kill me. After three days, I was able to leave the place without any problems. Li Jingxuan thought so.

At this moment, he was full of confidence in his future.

As a result, the ghost-like body flashed around the outer disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall again and again.

The silver sword light always flashes in the darkness, and then quickly annihilated.

In one night, Li Jingxuan swung his sword twenty-eight times. Each time, it took the lives of one, if not more, disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Palace.

For Li Jingxuan, this is a feast of killing.

And for the disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall who didn't have much vigilance at all, and still thought that they were encircling and suppressing others and hunting others, the death of the Ancestral Spirit Hall in a daze was still a trivial matter, and the more shocking thing was what they found at dawn.

"What, sixteen patrol teams were wiped out in one night?" said Hart, the hook-nosed man who sat on the main seat of the tent in the camp, slapped the table in front of him in shock.

He was shocked, and involuntarily turned his vitality, and with a blow, the case made of solid mahogany suddenly fell apart. In "Ping Pong...... In the sound of "Ping Pong", the wine jugs and glasses on the table, as well as a few plates of delicate side dishes, were poured on the ground. Mellow wine flowed from the glass, staining the scarlet and luxurious blanket on the floor. The torn plate and the delicacies on the plate, now mixed with the yellow-brown earth, were completely dirty, and only the fragrance on them was still attractive.

However, at this moment, no one in the tent would be attracted by these delicious food and wine, and their attention was all on the outer disciples who came to report the news.

"Yes...... We found the people sent out to patrol the mountains today, and found their corpses!" said the outer disciple who was kneeling on the ground.

It was so shocking and terrible that his face turned pale when he came to report the news. They all thought they were here to hunt someone else, but they never thought that they would be someone else's hunting target.

From a hunter to a prey, the contrast here made him sad and almost crazy.

"How did they die? were they besieged?" asked Hart, the hook-nosed boss.

"No, they were all stabbed to death with a sword...... All of the deceased's wounds showed similar cuts. And only a pair of footprints can be found next to their corpses, as if it was the same person who killed them. The outer disciple who had come to report the news said something that shocked Halt.

"What? one man, one sword...... Who has such ability? They are all disciples of our Ancestral Spirit Palace. Although the level is not very high, it is not something that others can win casually. Could it be that the true disciple of the Qiantian Palace Refining God Realm has made a move?" Immediately, he shook his head heavily: "Impossible, we have checked the environment around the Holy Dao, and there are no disciples of the Qiantian Palace nearby." Damn, who's this murderer?"

"Could it be our target?" said a red-haired, green-robed guy sitting to the bottom left of Hart.

"How is this possible? We also know the strength of that guy from the mouths of Ataiji and others who have fought against him, and he can indeed exert no less damage than the Qi Induction Realm through his special moves at some times. But these tricks, he needs to build momentum, it takes time, he can't just attack a move to have that kind of power. In the end, he was only at the peak level of the ten-layer forging body...... Speaking of breakthroughs, these days we have not felt the sudden change of vitality within a radius of 100 miles, which means that he has not made a breakthrough. The white-robed man who looked like a zombie said coldly.

"That's right...... Then ......" The red-haired green-robed guy looked up at his boss: "Boss Hart, what should we do." ”

"Temporary contraction of strength...... Narrow down the scope of the patrol and approach step by step. At the same time, send me a message to the outer gate team in the nearby state and county, and ask them to come here as soon as possible. Now, our strength is not very sufficient, and it is really not easy to find someone in such a large Zhongyuan Mountain. I think we might have to give them this opportunity. Hart pondered for a moment to make such a decision.

It's not a good idea to ask someone for help, but it's at least a safe way to do it. In order for the task to be successfully completed, Halt, who was not very willing to take risks, instinctively chose to be safe.

So three messenger harrier eagles flew out of the tent in the camp and fluttered into the distant sky.
