Chapter 1 Am I the One Who Died?

A man appeared in the field outside the ruins of the town.

This is an old man with a grayish-blue face, covered in dust, and wearing an old god robe.

There are many sects in this world, such as the priests of Yunqin, some Buddhist temples in Tang and Tibet are recognized by the court, and there are many temples and temples, so there are many people who look like gods, but the priests with the mark of the Flame Mountain on their chests can be said to be people who are truly worthy of this robe and the word "god". Because they are the apostles of the Purgatory Mountain, they are practitioners who represent mystery and power. And in the entire dynasty, they don't have to follow the instructions of any powerful people in the royal court of the world, they are really above the court, only obey the orders of Purgatory Mountain, and only obey the orders of the demon gods they believe in, they are the real officials of the gods.

This apostle of Purgatory Mountain, the old priest, was only responsible for checking the water quality of a few cold springs in Purgatory Mountain, and he was not interested in walking in the world and meddling in some mundane affairs in the world, but one of his sons and nephews died under Lin Xi's assassination, so after some elders of Purgatory Mountain conveyed the meaning of the teaching, he also left Purgatory Mountain, crossed Qianxia Mountain, and began to search for Lin Xi with many reckless cultivators who had entered Nanling Province for various reasons.

At this moment, looking at the ruins of the barren town not far ahead, the wrinkles on the old priest's face gradually relaxed, and his quiet eyes showed a certain look of relief and relief.

Although Lin Xi and Gao Yanan's whereabouts were extremely secretive, there was a limit to how far a cultivator could travel in a day. In other words, each practitioner has the maximum radius of activity in each day, but the difference is that the higher the cultivation, the greater the radius of activity. If you draw a circle on the sand table with the maximum radius of movement centered on the place where the practitioner was last seen, the trajectory of the practitioner will become clearer and clearer after a few times.

After the fierce battle that took place somewhere two days ago, this old priest who came from Purgatory Mountain was already sure that he was getting closer and closer to Lin Xi, and today, seeing the ruins of this ruined town after the army, he had a strong intuition that Lin Xi he was going to kill must be in this town.

Because the priests of Purgatory Mountain were all beyond the existence of ordinary court officials in Damang, before crossing Qianxia Mountain, he had already obtained extremely detailed information about Lin Xi, including the details of Lin Xi and Xu Qiubai's enemies. In his opinion, if Xu Qiubai simply didn't use a bow and arrow at the beginning, and simply fought Lin Xi directly in close quarters, in the case that Xu Qiubai's soul power was not consumed so much, it should be Lin Xi who died, not Xu Qiubai.

So he was sure that he would be able to kill Lin Xi.

......

The wrinkles on his face stretched out quietly, and the old priest of Purgatory Mountain silently approached the edge of the ruins of the town.

This small market town is all one-story bungalows, and the outside is all farmland overgrown with wild grass, and there is no commanding height, which means that the people inside the ruins of the town are level with his line of sight, and are obstructed by more buildings, so although he is only approaching this market town openly,

As long as there is no unusual noise, it is difficult for the other party to detect his arrival.

The town was still very quiet, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the grass bundles and leaky houses.

However, just as this Purgatory Mountain Priest had just entered the shadow of a house, his expression changed suddenly, and he felt extremely strong danger!

A divine light appeared in his eyes instantly, and his right foot was on the ground a little bit, and many spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and there were even traces of heat and fire rushing out of the cracks, and the huge anti-shock force made his body fly out to the left side of the front in an instant.

At the same time, on the wall of the house in front of him, a fist-sized round hole suddenly appeared, and a white comet-like arrow light came out of it, grazing his flying body and flying out, cutting a crack in his shabby robe.

Another white comet-like arrow shot through a roof, shot out, and landed on the head of the old priest who had just cracked in his robe, and his body was still accelerating rapidly.

The old priest's face was slightly condensed, and the tip of his left foot suddenly stretched out, touching the ground, and the ground under his feet rolled out like water, and his body suddenly changed the direction of his forward direction in the rapid acceleration, so that the second arrow only hit the afterimage of his head.

But the third arrow had already descended upon him.

The old priest's brow furrowed deeply, and a black-red, flaming banner burst out of his right hand sleeve robe, wrapped up the third arrow, and threw it out.

White arrows pierced through the roof in the middle of the town, falling towards him, and in an instant, the roof of that house was shattered.

The leather boots under the feet of the old priest shattered into countless fragments, and the feet of ** kept moving alternately on the ground, turning the entire body into a black-red wind. His brow was furrowed deeply, and he couldn't understand it... Since the arrows kept shooting out of that house, there was no doubt at all, Lin Xi was naturally in that house, but that house should not be able to see his original position at all, why did Lin Xi's arrows even be able to accurately lock his position with the first arrow across several walls?

And at this moment, the speed of this arrow is completely like an archer firing mechanically with his eyes closed, but the rhythm and timing are accurate to the extreme, which makes him originally just want to use the manipulation skills of soul power and pure reaction speed to dodge the arrows but can't do it at all, or he can't save soul power, so he can only fight for a large consumption of soul power, and use soul soldiers to roll up these arrows.

Fortunately, the other party is not far away from him, and his soul power should be enough when he reaches the other party's side and the next opponent.

When his body quickly approached the house where Lin Xi was at an extremely high speed, the old priest who had been trying to reduce his soul power consumption so that he could have more soul power burst out in close combat, did not take the simplest straight line, but randomly chose a curve to move forward.

Because he knew that there was also Gao Yanan, a chosen student of Qingluan Academy, who was with Lin Xi, he might be next to Lin Xi at this moment, or he might be lurking in an abandoned house waiting to sneak attack him. By Lin Xi's side, he didn't have to scruple at all, because Gao Yanan's cultivation was no threat to the soul power gushing behind him, and it was the same with one more her.

So he just had to make sure that he wasn't attacked by Gao Yanan or the three-tailed black fox cat on the way.

And this kind of random circle approaching Lin Xi is this kind of large bungalow with little concealment, and it is impossible for the other party to approach him through these dilapidated houses without discovering it.

So in the opinion of this old priest, it would be better for Gao Yanan and the three-tailed black fox cat not to be by Lin Xi's side at the moment, he could kill Lin Xi more easily, and then kill Gao Yanan and the three-tailed black fox cat next.

......

The old priest was still a hundred steps away from the house where Lin Xi was, whose roof was completely damaged.

His feet were alternately on the roof of a grass hut, and the thick thatch of the roof had been ignited by the blazing air currents and sparks when his toes fell. However, the moment the tip of his left foot landed on the roof that began to burn, an astonishing vitality condensed in this hut at a terrifying speed, and then pierced the roof under the impetus of another vitality that burst out at the same time.

The burning roof froze in an instant, and white ice edges stabbed upwards.

The sharp white ice edges pierced the soles of the old priest's feet like clusters of arrows, and in a slight click, pierced the surface of his feet, and the blood flowers brought out were directly frozen by the cold air, and the entire foot of the old priest was directly frozen into gray and black.

The old priest's eyes were instantly filled with an incredible look.

He was sure that no one had sneaked into the hut below him as quickly as he went.

There is only one possibility, the other party has been hiding in this thatched hut.

But how could it be so coincidental that he didn't hesitate to lose some more soul power to make a detour, just past the thatched hut where the other party was ambushed?

Countless routes forward, especially the ones that are most likely to advance, the other party is not ambushed, but they are ambushed here?

Can the other party be sure that he will definitely pass through here, from this thatched hut?

The intense pain and shock made the old priest open his mouth, and he wanted to let out a roar like a wounded beast, and at the same time, his soul power also spewed out violently from the soles of his feet, shaking the entire roof into smithereens, and countless broken grass grass turned into arrows that shot down under the impetus of his power, and at the same time, his whole person also fell sharply by the collapse of the roof.

However, at this moment, Lin Xi's figure had already jumped out of the broken roof like a projectile thrown by a catapult.

An arrow, instead of being thrown like many of the arrows in front of it, shot directly through one of the earthen walls of the thatched hut, and at this moment descended on the body of the fallen old priest.

The moment the old priest fell, his vision was already blocked, and his soul power was erupting sharply, and when he saw that a hole suddenly appeared in the earthen wall in front of him, and the arrow rushed out, he had no time to react.

"Whew!"

The white comet's tail-like arrow pierced his chest in an instant, burrowing a fist-sized hole in his body.

His body was as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he tried to stabilize his figure, trying to kill his back and crashing into another earthen wall, and was about to crash out of this earthen house with auspiciousness, but another arrow had already passed through the earthen wall in front of him again and landed on him.

"Whew!"

The arrow pierced through his body again, and the force it carried was such that he could no longer stabilize his form, and flew backwards. There was a soft "poof", and the powerful old priest was nailed to the earthen wall behind him.

Then, in the midst of an earthquake, the earthen wall also collapsed, and the old priest fell into the clods along with the earthen wall.

"I came to kill him, but it was me who died?"

The old priest's eyes could not be closed, and before he died, there was only one thought in his mind.
