Chapter 21: A Rainy Night
Zhao Changkong is already a powerhouse in the Outer Realm, and his strength is strong, and he can completely rank among the strong. When he just broke through, he was still full of pride, and he had the taste of being the world's greatest.
However, when he returned home, a shocking piece of news completely shattered his joy. His only son, the one he cared about the most, was killed by someone else.
He was completely insane, and he vowed to kill everyone involved in it. Wind is the only one, because as the lord of the city, he has not fulfilled his duty to protect the inhabitants of the territory. There are also the people of Bailitun, if it weren't for these Diao people, how could his son die?
He subjectively forgets that it was his son who bullied the others first, or that for him, his son was born above others.
A martial arts master is fast, like a ghost on a rainy night. More than a dozen of Zhao Changkong's subordinates were left far behind by him.
There are dozens of miles between Qingyuan City and Bailitun, and it is still raining, and the road is very muddy. In addition, it is night, and the road is even more difficult.
But for Zhao Changkong, these are not problems. With a slight touch on the ground, he can sweep out more than ten feet, and his figure is almost invisible.
"Click" A lightning bolt struck, reflecting Cheng Gui's room brightly, Cheng Gui suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible depression lingered in his heart, making him uneasy.
"What the hell happened, how could I feel like this?" Cheng Gui frowned and whispered. Although the people in this world are majoring in physical cultivation and their spiritual cultivation is a little weaker, some strong people can still sense some dangers in the underworld.
"No, something must have happened. Cheng Gui jumped off the bed and walked towards Cheng Daonan's room. Halfway through, Cheng Gui paused, and after a few breaths of consideration, he took out a small piece of wooden plaque from a locked box. Cheng Gui's strength was well controlled, and all this did not come out without the slightest sound.
He walked to the window of Cheng Dao Min's hut and found that Cheng Dao Nan was not sleeping either, and was staring out the window with wide eyes.
"Father. Seeing Cheng Gui coming, Cheng Daonan also got up from the bed. "What's wrong? You can't sleep?" Cheng Gui said with some surprise as he lit a lamp.
"Well, tonight I've been feeling like something is going to happen, and I can't calm down. Cheng Daonan nodded, his state of mind cultivation was higher than that of Cheng Gui, and his prediction of that kind of death was even stronger.
Cheng Gui heard Cheng Daonan's words, and his pupils shrank slightly. Looks like something is really going to happen.
"Xiao Nan, let me tell you about the origin of our family, I haven't told you about it when we are so old. Cheng Gui smiled a little bitterly, but his voice was very flat.
"Hmm," Cheng Daonan nodded.
"In the vast Daqing Kingdom, there are countless large and small families, each of which represents endless resources and power. And in the far west, there is a family famous for refining tools and smelting iron, and that is the family. Cheng Gui's eyes were leisurely, and he seemed to be a little yearning.
"The iron-smelting technology of the family is so high that it is the best in one region and eight countries, and even the royal family of Daqing is willing to exchange rich resources for the weapons of the family. Cheng Gui said with some yearning.
A hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Daonan's eyes, it turned out that there was such a big one in his family.
"Of course, our branch is only a clan that has a family, and we can't enjoy the resources of the main family, and only some extremely good branch children can enter the main family. As if seeing Cheng Daonan's doubts, Cheng Gui continued to explain.
"When our generation reached its most glorious time, there were many children who entered the main family, and there were many master-level masters, but ・・・・・" Cheng Gui sighed when he said this.
"However, since we got this thing, not to mention the rapid decline of our group, we have to live in seclusion in this small mountain village. Even the behemoth of the Cheng family collapsed with a bang" Cheng Gui's eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, and a small wooden card appeared in his hand.
"This is?" Cheng Daonan looked at the wooden plaque and didn't find anything abnormal, just some small patterns engraved on it, with the word "Dengxian" written in the center.
"This is the immortal order that I got unintentionally when I became a family, in the Southern Wasteland, including Daqing Kingdom, masters from various countries came to snatch this token, even if my family power was monstrous, it was also wiped out under the siege of countless masters, only our one survived and fled here with the token. Cheng Gui's hand holding the token trembled a little, as if it was fanatical, but more disgusted.
"Xiao Nan, you put this sign away, if you reach the Dacheng realm in the future, go to the Three Mountains Domain and participate in the selection of the Immortal Gate. If you haven't reached this realm in your life, pass on this immortal order, maybe I will become a family and produce an immortal. Cheng Gui very solemnly stuffed the Ascending Immortal Order into Cheng Daonan's hands.
"Immortals?" Cheng Daonan was taken aback, isn't this world a world of martial arts?
"That's right, immortals can move mountains and seas in a single thought, swallow wind and mist, do anything, and most importantly, an immortal has a long lifespan, which is the most crazy and pursuit. In Cheng Gui's words, Cheng Daonan seems to touch a distant and unreal world.
"People, can you really do that?" Cheng Daonan's face was full of shock, and his mind fluctuated after so many years of cultivation.
"Surely, in the imperial city of Daqing Kingdom, there is an immortal living there. Cheng Gui nodded affirmatively.
Cheng Dao Nan took a breath, the martial arts he knew were still too narrow, and he always thought that after Dacheng, it was the end of the martial arts, but now it seems that that is just the beginning.
"Father, why are you telling me all this tonight?" Cheng Daonan's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, making his heart beat a little faster.
"Because I'm afraid that if I don't talk about it now, I won't have a chance again in the ・・・・・・..."
"Boom" A flash of lightning swept through the sky, drowning Cheng Gui's words in thunder. Cheng Daonan's eyes changed suddenly, and he looked out the window at the same time as Cheng Gui, and a tall middle-aged man with a gloomy face appeared at the window.
"Let's go. Cheng Gui roared, and he turned into a gray shadow and attacked the middle-aged man. Just as Cheng Gui's fist was about to attack the middle-aged man, an invisible true qi shield appeared around the man, blocking Cheng Gui out.
Inside, martial arts master!
Cheng Gui's face instantly turned gray, but the battle intent on his body became more tragic and intense. "Cheng Daonan, if you want to avenge me and your mother, run now!" Cheng Gui's words almost burst out of his throat. This is the first time that Cheng Gui called Cheng Daonan's full name, and it is also the last time.
"Father・・・・・" Cheng Daonan's eyes overflowed with a layer of tears, he is not a child, he will start from the perspective of the most in line with interests, his strength in the meat realm, in this battle, is not even cannon fodder.
"Want to go? Zhao Changkong's voice sounded with this thunder, which was extremely shocking. "Perhaps, not too late. A faint female voice appeared behind everyone.
"Mother・・・・・" Cheng Daonan looked at the middle-aged woman with a calm face outside the door, although she looked very ordinary, but there was an indescribable serenity.
"Hubris. Zhao Changkong waved out with one hand, and an invisible qi shot out, extremely violent, as if it was about to tear Zhang Guiping apart. "Boom" Zhang Guiping threw out a small iron ball, which collided with Zhao Changkong's energy, and then exploded in an instant.
When the small iron ball exploded, countless powders stirred in the air, and they were adsorbed towards Zhao Changkong's body.
"Poisonous!" Zhao Changkong exclaimed in surprise, and a qi shield rose outside his body. Poison is the most difficult thing, even the most powerful master, it is possible to be overturned by poison, so he can't be cautious.
"Go" Cheng Gui picked up Cheng Daonan and swept towards the distance. "Want to leave?" Zhao Changkong was willing to let the enemy slip away in front of him, he was really angry, and wanted to expel all those powders.
"Sneer" Zhang Guiping pressed the bracket in his hand, and dozens of tiny cow hair needles shot towards Zhao Changkong's eyes. "Damn" Zhao Changkong didn't expect this woman to be so difficult to deal with, and she actually mastered this secret weapon technique.
After such a delay, Cheng Gui had already taken Cheng Daonan away, and in Cheng Gui's arms, Cheng Daonan stared at the direction of his home, wanting to remember the image of the gloomy middle-aged man deeply in his heart.
Remember, he was the one who ruined your family. Someday, I'll get my revenge. Cheng Daonan closed his eyes, and a tear quietly slipped down his face.
Martial arts master, true qi is released, and it is the first time that he has such a thirst for power. "I am not reconciled, if I have power, what belongs to me, it can belong to me forever. Cheng Daonan only felt that his brain was thudging, and the qi and blood in his whole body surged towards his head.
The barrier between the head and the body is indestructible, but the majestic qi and blood seem to be tireless, hitting the bottleneck again and again.
Cheng Gui looked at the son in his arms with some pleasure, maybe one day when I get married, I can really produce an immortal.
