Chapter Seventy-One: Young People, Walking Different Paths
The night is slowly descending on the entire Biluo Mausoleum.
Xu Zhenyan and Xie Ningke lay motionless in the grass, welcoming the long and dangerous night.
After the previous rapid march and the great battle, everyone in the army was extremely tired, and in order to prevent the people who heard the moon from raiding at night, most of the cultivators in the army acted as secret sentinels.
Because the two were extremely close, the wounds on Xu Zhenyan's body had not healed, and naturally a slight bloody rancid smell came into Xie Ningke's nose from time to time.
Xie Ningke is a cultivator who entered Biluo Mausoleum with Qiu Hanshan and Xu Zhenyan along the way, he was originally a general in the Qianxia Border Army, as long as he stayed in the border army for a long time, even if he was originally clean, he was afraid that he would become less concerned about filth, but at this moment, he saw the bandage on Xu Zhenyan's body that was stained with dry and dirty blood, and smelled the trace of rancid breath, Xie Ningke's eyes were faintly displeased.
It's not that he can't stand the smell on Xu Zhenyan's body, but because since Xu Zhenyan was attacked by the first attack of Wenren Cangyue's subordinates, Xu Zhenyan has become too gloomy, and they all heard the conversation between Xu Zhenyan and Lin Xi that day, and completely understood the identities of Xu Zhenyan and Lin Xi and others, and then thought of the ruthless father on the top of the third son of the Xu family, who was known as the slaughter of the criminal division, he, like most people, was even more disliked by this Xu Zhenyan.
Xu Zhenyan and Qiu Hanshan and Xie Ningke's team walked extremely hard, and when they were rescued by Lin Xi's Mirror Heavenly Queen's army, the team when they set off was finally only five people left, and it stands to reason that between these five people who have experienced many life and death moments together, they will definitely form some feelings that exceed ordinary friendship, but Xu Zhenyan is still disliked by the rest... This is indeed a very bad and a failure.
It's just that Xu Zhenyan doesn't care about these, and what he is thinking about at the moment is not these.
After meeting Lin Xi again, facing Lin Xi squarely, and finally putting aside his fear of Lin Xi, the thing he was thinking about in his mind was how to defeat Lin Xi.
When his father Xu Tianwang had a separate conversation with him and forced him to come here, Lin Xi had not yet reached the Great Soul Master cultivation, but now, Lin Xi had obviously broken through the Great Soul Master cultivation, and he didn't know how far he had gone on the Great Soul Master level... Moreover, he also became a spirit priest, and even a famous general like Qin Qinghuang was beheaded by Lin Xi with a sword.
Xu Tianwang said it to him well, compared to Lin Xi, he was simply a waste.
Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for him to catch up with Lin Xi's footsteps, and he could only look at Lin Xi's light with hatred and jealousy behind his back, let alone be able to defeat Lin Xi vividly one day.
In this case, he can only be an abnormal person... It is possible to trample Lin Xi under his feet.
"At the end of the day, I still want to thank you... Lin Xi, if there is no powerful opponent like you in this world, how can I figure out so many truths so quickly, and how can I become so powerful so quickly?"
Xu Zhenyan laughed coldly in his heart.
He finally broke through to the cultivation of the first level of the soul master, and the injuries on his body were never very good, and he was an extremely weak existence among all the cultivators in this Biluo Tomb, but at this moment, he already felt that he had become very strong, and this strength did not come from cultivation, but from his heart.
After smiling coldly in his heart, his body moved slightly, and then he squinted his eyes and looked intently at the distance on the left side of the front.
Xie Ningke immediately felt his strangeness, and seeing the extremely solemn and nervous look on his face, Xie Ningke immediately felt cold, and looked in the direction Xu Zhenyan was looking at.
However, he didn't see any trace of the enemy, and at the moment when he turned his head and focused all his attention on the direction that Xu Zhenyan was looking at, Xu Zhenyan's body turned over and pressed against him, and before he could react, a cold and hard and sharp thing had pierced the major artery in his neck and punctured his trachea.
Scarlet blood spurted out like a fountain and sprayed on Xu Zhenyan's body.
Xu Zhenyan let go of the black steel arrow in his hand that pierced Xie Ningke's neck, and pressed Xie Ningke's writhing body to death.
The natural fainting caused by the instantaneous inability to breathe and the interruption of the blood supply to the skull made Xie Ningke not only unable to make an effective counterattack, but also unable to make a sound, only the slightest sound of blood splattering and the sound of sneering throat leaking.
In just a few breaths, all the strength in his body was drained away with the gushing of blood, his limbs began to twitch weakly, and his body began to grow cold.
At the last moment of his life, this cultivator who survived the assassination of many elite subordinates in the face of Wenren Cangyue, but was about to die here, was unwilling and his eyes were scattered, and he looked at Xu Zhenyan extremely blankly, his mouth kept foaming at blood, and he kept making a muffled sound of the same scale.
No one could hear what he was saying at the moment, but Xu Zhenyan understood what he was asking at the moment.
"I saw that when you were cleaning up the battlefield today, you found an elixir from the body of a Sky Wolf Guard... Although you quickly put it away, I can see it very clearly, it should be a withered herb pill that can improve some cultivation. Xu Zhenyan spat out the blood that had spurted into his mouth, gasping violently, and whispered in the ear of the cultivator who was on his last deathbed.
The sound in Xie Ningke's mouth suddenly stopped, but it was only a breath, and he made an even more unwilling and hurried sound.
He couldn't understand it, just for the sake of an elixir that could improve his cultivation a little, at most he could bring Xu Zhenyan from a beginner-level soul master to a near-middle-level soul master's cultivation, and the other party dared to kill him... At the risk of being discovered, being killed by Yun Qin's law?!
"I know you can't understand... So you are destined to die for people like my father in Biluoling. ”
Xu Zhenyan continued to gasp, and made a voice indifferently, as if he wanted him to die clearly, and as if he was saying to himself, "Although the withered grass pill is nothing, at least it will be useful to me, if you don't kill you, it won't reach my hands... Killing you in this kind of place can casually blame your death on the subordinates of Wenren Cangyue... Anything that will make me stronger faster, I'll do it... Otherwise, how could I win Lin Xi?"
"Xu... Sky... Hope... Returning to the light, Xie Ningke finally spit out four vague words, then cut off his breath and died with his eyes open.
Xu Zhenyan still understood the meaning of his last mutilated sentence, and sneered: "Yes... My father is not as ruthless as I am, and he definitely wouldn't risk killing a colleague for such an elixir... So I'm destined to be stronger than my father... If killing my father can make me stronger than Lin Xi, I will even kill him. ”
Xu Zhenyan sneered with blood stains on his face, his smile was full of irony, his face became more and more cold with a smile, looking indescribably crazy and hideous, plus the bloody and rancid breath on his body... He was like a scavenger who ate all rotten meat for his own strength.
......
Jingtian Lake is like a jewel set in the Biluo Tomb.
This mirror-like calm and clear lake is naturally extremely beautiful, but all the people who have entered the Biluo Tomb, as well as almost the entire Yunqin cultivators, also know that the surroundings of this extremely quiet and beautiful lake are also extremely dangerous.
Because there is a strange demon beast in Jingtian Lake, called Jingtian mermaid.
This kind of monster beast is half human and half fish, the upper body is like a beautiful and glamorous woman, and the lower body is a fishtail, this strange monster that will give people a sense of unreality is not like Lin Xi knows, it will use its singing voice to confuse the travelers passing by, but the soul power in the body can gather the water vapor in the air into a powerful force.
Because the Mirror Sky Lake is extremely large and deep, it is impossible for anyone to catch all the Mirror Sky Mermaids, so as to judge what kind of power the strongest of the unique demon beasts in the Mirror Sky Lake will have, but at least it is certain that some Mirror Sky Mermaids have at least the strength above the national rank, and these Mirror Sky Mermaids can stay out of the water for a certain amount of time, and the mountains and tombs within more than ten miles of the lake are their territory.
Therefore, ordinary cultivators would never dare to risk their lives to approach the shore of Jingtian Lake and enter the mountains and forests by Jingtian Lake.
However, in the thick night, Lin Xi and the others quickly walked through the mountains by the Jingtian Lake.
Lin Xi and Gao Yanan walked in the front, Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi were on guard behind the palace, Meng Bai and Du Zhanye carried a stretcher, and Chen Du... That is, the eldest grandson Wujiang, lying on a leather military stretcher that can fix the body and minimize bumps as much as possible.
Because of nervousness and natural fatness, it is easier to sweat, and the sweat on the white face accumulates more and more, and finally meanders down like an earthworm.
Lin Xi was not nervous at the moment, he even had some expectations, wanting to see what the legendary Mirror Heavenly Mermaid looked like, and how much difference it was from the mermaid in the movie of his world, because his ability to return to before the Ten Stops had not been used, even if he encountered the attack of the Mirror Heavenly Mermaid, he could go back to before the Ten Stops and easily avoid it.
But at this moment, he, Gao Yanan, Bian Linghan and the others also suddenly became nervous at the same time, and a slight moan came out from the stretcher.
A moan of pain that was clearly suppressed by strong willpower.
Everyone stopped, Lin Xi and Gao Yanan turned around, and the two of them saw Du Zhanye's body trembling involuntarily, and saw the eldest grandson Wujiang, who had been unconscious on the stretcher, wake up.
"I'm not dead yet... Lin Xi, what a coincidence... I didn't expect to see it at such a time..."Eldest Sun Wujiang just let out a slight moan, and then didn't make any more painful sounds, he looked at Lin Xi and the others, saw the faces of Du Zhanye and Lin Xi clearly, and then he licked his lips that were a little dry, and slowly and reluctantly bowed his head, making such a sound.
Lin Xi was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that he, a senior who had only met once before, would directly mention his name in his first sentence after waking up from a serious injury and coma.
