Chapter 166: A New Path
The people of the Xun family really did not miss the appointment, and after a few days, they sent three five-hundred-year-old blood crystals over. The people of the Xun family didn't dare to delay, they knew Cheng Daonan's temperament, if he didn't give it, he might really be able to enter the imperial city.
Cheng Daonan didn't give these three blood crystals to the Gu family, it wasn't that he was selfish, but that the Gu family really couldn't keep it. Just like a seven-year-old child who walks through the market with gold, he is likely to bring disaster upon himself.
Cheng Daonan continued to live on the barren mountain for more than half a month, and when everything in the ancient family settled down, he would leave here. After fighting with Wen Rushui, Cheng Daonan found that his current methods were no longer enough to deal with the powerhouses above the Wolf Smoke Realm. The people who can raise the wolf smoke are all strong-willed, stable, and able to drive all kinds of mysterious divine weapons to kill the enemy from a hundred feet away.
Cheng Daonan's combat power basically lies in hand-to-hand combat, and once the distance is pulled away, then Cheng Daonan will become a lamb to the slaughter. Last time, if it wasn't for Wen Rushui, who was already seriously injured, Cheng Daonan might have folded under his Liuyun Sword.
Therefore, in order to find a way to break through, Cheng Daonan left the barren mountain and also left Taean County. No one knew where he had gone, no one knew when he had left, and all that remained was an empty and dilapidated thatched hut on the barren mountain.
In the extreme west of the Qianyuan Kingdom, near the Western Barbarian Country, there is a small town that is not too big. Because of its proximity to the Western Barbarian Kingdom, the folk customs here are very fierce, and there have been many powerful warriors.
To put it mildly, a random seven or eight-year-old child here can easily lift a stone in a hundred catties, and it has reached the point where everyone practices martial arts.
On this day, when the sun is just rising, people open their doors as usual, ready to welcome the new day. To the east of the town, a stranger came.
Judging from his appearance alone, this person is not very old, and he should not be eighteen years old. His hair was scattered, and his clothes were a little torn, but there was not the slightest trace of dirt left on his body, giving him a very neat feeling
The strangest thing is not these, but the heavy steps of his feet, even on solid dirt, can leave a deep footprint, as if he has a mountain on his body.
"Hey, be careful. As the stranger passed by a clearing, a sudden wind howled beside him, and a huge stone lock smashed towards him. Depending on the situation, a big man was exercising with a stone lock, and the other was not controlled, causing the stone lock to come out of his hand.
The stone lock looks like it is half the size of a man, and it is made of extremely heavy bluestone, just such a one, and the weight alone is 4,000 catties. Coupled with the force of smashing, will this hit a person without breaking tendons and fractures?
A few timid people couldn't help but close their eyes, a good young man was about to be stoned to death like this, it's a pity.
"Bang. With a low sound, everyone did not hear the scream, and when they looked again, the half-human high stone lock was firmly held by the stranger in his hand, and his body did not tremble in the slightest, as if he was holding only a feather in his hand. What a powerful strength! Everyone was amazed in their hearts.
"Be careful next time. The man threw it casually, and the stone lock flew back at a faster speed. A fierce wind howled in the air, and just as it was about to touch the big man, the stone lock froze in the air and fell to the ground.
Cold sweat was dripping from the big man's forehead, and at that moment just now, he really felt the feeling of death on the pavement. Who is this man, who has so much strength at such a young age?
This person naturally became a Taoist, and he went from Daqing to Qianyuan. Along the way, he has been thinking about a problem. What should the way forward?
If he wants to fight against the Wolf Smoke Realm, he must seek a breakthrough. His strength is big enough, his speed is fast enough, but the long-range attack is relatively lacking, he originally planned to go to the Desperate Mountain to find some ways to enhance the internal breath, but soon he gave up this plan, no matter how strong the internal breath is, it is not enough to hurt a strong man in the Wolf Smoke Realm. What's more, the practice of internal breath is about water grinding, and without a long period of time, it is difficult to see results.
Until a few days ago, Cheng Daonan happened to pass by the river, and saw the turtle and snake fighting, the turtle was strong and slow, and the poisonous snake's movements were tricky, and he was good at swimming. This was a very ordinary scene, but Cheng Daonan was fascinated by it all at once.
The speed of the poisonous snake was extremely fast, and each time its body turned into a cloud of illusions, attacking the turtle's vital parts. The tortoise, on the other hand, responds to all changes with the same attitude, and every time it is close to the attack of the poisonous snake, it shrinks its head and limbs, so that the enemy's methods are defeated again and again.
In the end, the snake's physical strength was exhausted, but it was never able to shake the turtle in the slightest. The tortoise didn't exert much effort, but its speed was too slow, and the snake couldn't chase it even if it wanted to escape.
In the end, the two just ended up in a situation where they didn't lose or win, Cheng Daonan had already finished everything, but at this moment, a huge crocodile suddenly came out of the water, swallowed the turtle and snake into its belly, and chewed it a few times, and they all became the crocodile's belly food.
Seeing this, a flash of spiritual light flashed in Cheng Daonan's eyes. One is powerful and the other moves quickly, but in the end, it is just swallowed by someone, and there is no strength to resist. What's the use of me pursuing so many means, as long as my own strength is strong enough, I will directly blow you up.
Chengdao Nanpan sat by the river for three days and three nights, like a statue carved in stone. The wind and rain were blowing, and the sun was scorching, but his body never moved.
Three days later, he got up and left, but at this time, his body became extremely heavy, like a mountain, if he hadn't deliberately controlled his weight with internal breath, his feet would have stepped on the ground, and his whole body would have sunk in half.
It was only then that Chengdaonan realized that all means were empty. If there is a mountain to stop you, you will be pushed down. If the river is blocking you, it will be flat. There are thousands of means and let him, I will break ten thousand laws by myself. He integrated the beacon tower with his own body, the beacon tower was originally between the virtual and the real, it was his will that manifested, blessed in the body, punch and kick, all with the supreme power of the beacon.
"May I ask, how to go to Corpse King Mountain?" Cheng Daonan walked in front of an old man and asked very politely. "Corpse King Mountain? Why are you asking this? I don't know, I don't know, I've never heard of Corpse King Mountain. The old man was watching the excitement from the sidelines, but when he heard Cheng Daonan mention the three words Corpse King Mountain, his face suddenly changed.
Cheng Daonan was still to be asked, the old man turned his head and left, obviously the corpse king mountain is a taboo word, and the old man is very secretive about it. Cheng Daonan asked several people in a row, but when everyone heard that it was about Corpse King Mountain, they all changed color and didn't want to talk about it.
Finally, the shopkeeper of an inn couldn't see it. "Young man, why do you ask the Corpse King Mountain, that place is really impossible to go. The shopkeeper pulled Cheng Daonan aside and said in a whisper.
"Hundreds of years ago, the corpse king mountain was the cemetery of the princes and magnates of the previous dynasty, there were many famous and surnamed people buried in it, and later this corpse king mountain was occupied by the three corpse sects, and those disciples were able to refine the corpse and drive out the corpse, which was very evil?????. Moreover, they also use living people to refine corpses, and people often go missing in our town, and it is said that they were taken captive by the people of the Three Corpses Sect. The shopkeeper's face palpitated, obviously frightened.
"Oh, that's right, but I'm looking for the Three Corpses Sect. Cheng Daonan's eyes showed a light, and the shopkeeper only felt that his brain was dizzy, and he lost consciousness.
By the time he came to his senses, his front was empty, and the boy had disappeared. "Alas, it's really old, and I can still fall asleep while talking, what a ?????? I hope that young man doesn't do anything stupid. The shopkeeper shook his head, then went back to the counter and recounted yesterday's accounts.
Cheng Daonan got the information he wanted from the shopkeeper's mouth, and immediately strode towards the direction of the Corpse King Mountain. Corpse King Mountain is a long distance away from the town, in the middle of a wilderness, on the opposite side of Corpse King Mountain, is the vast Western Barbarian Grassland.
Hundreds of years ago, the Corpse King Mountain was originally a treasure land, with beautiful mountains and rivers, otherwise there would not be so many princes and nobles who wanted to be buried here. However, since it was occupied by the Three Corpses Cult, the entire mountain here has become bare, and the stones are pitch black, even in broad daylight, they look extremely gloomy.
The Three Corpse Sect is at the bottom of this Corpse King Mountain, yes, it is underneath. Because of the need to raise corpses, the people of the Three Corpses Sect opened up the tombs of all the nobles and used them as the gate of the Three Corpses Sect. Under this Corpse King Mountain, it is almost like an underground city, and it is not a problem to live for 10,000 people.
As soon as Cheng Daonan entered the range of the Corpse King Mountain, he sensed that someone was spying on him, but this is also normal, the Three Corpses Sect has been able to stand here for so long, and it has not been destroyed by the people of the seven major forces, so it naturally has its own set of skills for survival.
As Chengdao Nan got closer to Corpse King Mountain, the stronger the feeling of being watched became. The cold hair on Cheng Daonan's body stood up slightly, and the gaze that stared at him was unusually cold, like a corpse.
"Whoosh. Suddenly, a crack opened in the ground, and a black, fishy-smelling figure swooped towards him. Cheng Daonan raised his head, it was a corpse. Cheng Daonan was at the foot of the floating mountain, and it was this kind of monster that was attacked.
The speed of this ground corpse was very fast, and a pair of claws, as sharp as a knife and axe, came straight to Cheng Daonan's neck. Cheng Daonan's body did not dodge or dodge, and he directly punched out.
"Boom. When Cheng Daonan's fist touched the claws of the ground corpse, he let out a loud roar. The claws of the ground corpse shattered instantly, and then its arms, its body, all the way to its feet, continued to shatter, and the earth corpse of the Devouring Realm couldn't even receive a blow from Cheng Daonan now, obviously Cheng Daonan's strength was more than a step higher than when he was in the Floating Mountain.
