Chapter 114: The Battle of Life and Death
The screams, wails, and staccato sounds, continued until dawn.
"Squeak".
Zhou Xutang pushed the door open.
His hands and face were covered with blood, and his face was gloomy and scary.
Chen Wen or Chen Li was asked at the beginning.
The reason why they tortured them all night was mainly to interrogate the people behind them.
He never believes in everything, it is all a cultivator who cultivates qi.
Maybe Dongbo was killed by 'Chen Wen'.
But killing seven members of the Zhou family in an instant for the second time would never be something that a Qi cultivator could do.
It's a pity that until he died, he didn't ask anything?
The city lord, who had been guarding outside all night, saw Zhou Xutang come out, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, and arched his hand: "Senior Zhou, everything is going well, the banquet has been prepared, and after a busy night, it is better to have a light meal." ”
"This favor Zhou family has written it down, but the meal is exempt...... By the way, there is one more escape, and the city lord Liu needs to pay attention at that time. Zhou Xutang squeezed out a smile and said.
"Senior Zhou's words are serious, and this is just a gesture." City Lord Liu suddenly smiled, and he got the favor of a Zhuji family, and it was not in vain that he spent so much effort: "Senior, rest assured, as long as he dares to show up, he will help you find people." ”
"Then thank City Lord Liu first." Zhou Xutang said.
……
After bidding farewell to City Lord Liu, Zhou Xutang's smile quickly faded, and his eyes were cold: "It's really daring!" ”
This is named Chen Wen, and he also happened to see Yu Cheng's old immortal birthday banquet.
He almost escaped.
"Could it be that Yu Cheng is behind it?" He was thoughtful in his heart, and was quickly vetoed by him: "It shouldn't be possible, it's just a dry bone in a grave, and I have long lost my ambition...... Forget it, just let me see who's behind you? ”
His body soared into the air, soaring into the sky.
……
Autumn is getting stronger.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, Chen Li pushed open the door.
There was a lot of fog outside, and visibility was low.
He walked out into the courtyard and looked at the game board as he moved his body.
[Realm: Eighth Layer of Qi Training: 72100]
"It's not far from the ninth layer of Qi training, and we can break through before this year." Chen Lixin said: "Next, it's time to think about building a foundation!" ”
He threw a punch.
There was a "thump" in the air.
The fog churned violently.
"I don't know if this level can be successfully passed, according to Bai Jinwang, the success rate of building the foundation is pitiful, almost one in a hundred, if the impact fails, it will be a major injury to the vitality, loss of life, and death...... Alas, it's hard, it's hard! ”
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the courtyard door.
"Big brother, open the door!"
It was Gu Mengqing's voice.
Chen Li's face changed.
He walked to the door one by one, opened the door, and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Mengqing into the door.
"Why did you come back, didn't you tell you to go out and avoid the limelight?"
Gu Mengqing breathed heavily, his face was pale and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot:
"Big brother, we were discovered by the ancestor of the Zhou family, run away, otherwise it will be too late, Zhao Lin and they are afraid ...... I'm afraid I've already confessed you. Gu Mengqing said in a low voice, looking frightened and anxious.
"What!?"
Chen Li's words were like a lightning strike!
The last thing you want to see happens.
Although he had thought about this situation more than once, when it really happened, it still made his heart beat violently, and even his breathing became heavy, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:
"Tell me carefully, how did you find out, and how did you escape?"
Gu Mengqing didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told the truth of the matter.
"So, the ancestor of the Zhou family hasn't come back yet...... Chen Li walked back and forth a few steps, and stopped: "You find a place to hide first, don't show your head, and wait for the limelight to pass before contacting." ”
"Yes, big brother." Gu Mengqing said.
After Chen Li finished speaking, he walked briskly to the bedroom.
Zhou Hong had already gotten up, dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, Chen Li pulled Zhou Hong up, and said quickly as he walked: "Let's go, go to the basement, what happened last time was exposed, Zhou Xutang will come soon, you follow the passage and leave here immediately." ”
Zhou Hong felt dizzy in his mind when he heard this, and his face turned pale.
"You...... What about you? She heard the meaning of Chen Li's words.
"The two of them go together, the goal is too big, it will only be over, you know that I will be disguised, I can go at any time if I want to, and when the time comes, you will wait for me on the second mountain on the west side of Luanluo Mountain. Remember, it's the second mountain. Chen Li said.
Zhou Hong suddenly relaxed a little, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I remember." ”
"Don't delay, let's go now!"
……
Watching Zhou Hong disappear into the passage, Chen Li sealed the entrance to the basement with a stone slab, and then re-blocked it with a cabinet.
He leaned against the cabinet and closed his eyes for a moment.
Suddenly opened his eyes.
"What about building a foundation!"
By this time, he had completely calmed down.
Escape, he didn't even think about escape.
Since provoking the Zhou family, he has tossed and turned at midnight many times, thinking about the feasibility of killing Zhou Xutang, but this time it was just in advance.
"Who lives and who dies, it's not certain!" Chen Li whispered to himself, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
He changed into Zhou Dongbo's magic robe, took out the second-order magic sword, and held it in his hand.
Then he changed his face and quickly walked out the door.
Gu Mengqing had already left, and there was no trace.
It was still dark outside, and it was foggy.
He was like lightning, and walked briskly towards the city gate.
There is only one gate in Luanluo City, and the protective array in the city has the ability to prohibit the sky, so it cannot fly, and if you want to enter and exit, you can only pass through the gate.
The fog obscured his figure perfectly.
The pedestrians on the road only felt a flower in front of them, and a gust of wind blew, and they had lost their sights.
After a while, Chen Li had already arrived at the city gate.
In the early morning of late autumn, with a slight chill, there were very few people entering and leaving the city gate, Chen Li stood aside, pretending to be waiting for someone, walking back and forth, the fog was filled all around, and only a vague figure could be seen ten meters away.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Chen Li waited anxiously.
I waited for half an hour.
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking the sky in the distance, at first, the sound was still imperceptible, but in the blink of an eye, the movement became louder and louder, and the sound was obviously different from the ordinary Qi refining period flight.
"It's coming!" Chen Li's heart began to beat violently, and the palm holding the hilt of the sword was slightly wet, and he hurriedly clenched it hard.
His hands have long been covered with blood.
But this time facing a real battle of life and death.
He found himself still as nervous as he had been in his first battle.
The sound of breaking the air is getting closer and closer.
It's close at hand.
He took one last deep breath and began to perform the talisman technique.
At the same time, take a breath and don't miss a single emotion.
Soon, a figure flew to the ground, it was Zhou Xutang, his face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt something, and glanced at Chen Li who was wearing a protective shield not far away with a little surprise.
He didn't pay much attention to it, raised his feet and walked quickly towards the city gate.
In normal times, he would not be so careless, but at this moment, he is full of thoughts about taking down Chen Li and interrogating the people behind him.
But he didn't expect that the main owner was on the side, and he didn't expect that a battle for him was coming.
At the moment of turning.
Chen Li moved instantly, and his body was like electricity.
Two strides in a row, more than ten meters away.
Zhou Xutang's spiritual sense was keen, his face changed drastically, and he turned around suddenly.
A figure had flashed like a phantom and struck in front of him.
"You ......" Zhou Xutang agitated his mana, condensed into a layer of mana aura on his body, and just spit out a word.
A light that was a hundred times more dazzling than the sun lit up from the other party's eyes, Zhou Xutang instinctively closed his eyes, and at the moment when he flashed, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, a terrifying sword light, wrapped in viscous air, had penetrated his defense.
The sword stabbed him in the chest, stabbing out of his back, blasting a bloody hole.
At the same time, Chen Li's arm was instantly broken into three.
Everything was so caught off guard, the whole process was electrically flashing, and it was just a blink of an eye.
"Look for death!" Zhou Xutang's eyes were angry, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his heart was frightened, frightened and angry, his whole body was full of mana, the heavens and the earth seemed to be shaken, and he slapped his palm at Chen Li.
"Bang!"
Chen Li was knocked away, and the protective shield darkened violently, but fortunately, he still survived.
Zhou Xutang was seriously injured and was frightened.
Turn around and flee.
Chen Li took the sword from the right hand of the broken arm with his left hand, kicked the ground with his toes, and his body was like an arrow off the string again, catching up with him in one step.
Zhou Xutang had no choice but to turn around and take out the magic weapon.
It's a small black sword.
The air of sharpness pervades the air.
It's like a sharp blade hitting the face, making people's hairs stand on end.
However, he could not wait for him to move.
Chen Liyi's 'scolding technique' made his mind flutter again, and he stiffened slightly, and when he came back to his senses, a cold sword light had already slid through his neck, and his head rose to the sky.
A sword owl head.
The headless corpse staggered a few steps, stumbling and falling to the ground, convulsing all over.
Chen Li quickly stepped forward, pulled his storage bag and the magic weapon in his hand, and glanced at the distorted and hideous head on the side. Thinking of the possible hidden danger, he suddenly raised his foot and stepped heavily on his head.
"Boom".
His head exploded like a watermelon.
The ground along with the rocks beneath his feet was shattered by the trampling.
He hit two evil charms in a row, and after a few steps, he disappeared into the thick fog.
……
On the way, Chen Li's face kept changing, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"There shouldn't be any witnesses!"
Thanks to today's dense fog, visibility is extreme.
Coupled with the fact that the battle was quite short, only a few seconds in total, the possibility of eyewitnesses was even less.
"Finally solved the big problem!"
This time it's really dangerous.
If it weren't for a sneak attack and a face-to-face battle, the result would be really hard to say, only between the two.
"Alas, I hope this is the last time." Chen Li sighed in his heart.
But he knew it.
It's just a fantasy.
In this world, the weak eat the strong, the strong are respected, if you don't kill people, others will kill you, there is no reason at all.
Many times people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.
Chen Li walked quickly, secretly vigilant all the way, and it was not until he returned home that his mind was completely relaxed.
"Shhh
While engrossed in the battle, he couldn't feel the pain of the wound at all, and as soon as he relaxed at this time, not only his broken arm, but also his whole body was in tearing pain.
The sonic boom before was a sword.
It's a complete risk-taking effort.
1,000 wounded and 800 self-inflicted.
He glanced at his right palm, which was already a blur of flesh and blood, and this was only a minor injury, and the most troublesome was his right arm, which was completely broken into three pieces.
The load on the body with a blow at the speed of sound is so great, it is okay to practice against the air, and with one move against the enemy, even the steel will be deformed, not to mention the arm, with the strength of his body, he can't withstand such an attack at all.
The most troublesome thing is that this kind of injury cannot be directly treated with hemostasis.
Chen Li closed his eyes and sensed it, his face was ugly.
"Comminuted fractures...... Fortunately, it's not too shattered. ”
His left hand kept groping for the broken arm, and with the help of consciousness, the broken bones were quickly reset one by one, and even a few broken bones were sent back to their original positions by him, and the intense pain made him tremble all over his body and break out in a cold sweat.
He found a rag and carefully fastened his right hand in circles.
He moved his right hand.
"I can barely move!"
He began to perform hemostatic treatments.
And yet failure, failure, and failure.
Hemostasis is not a low-level procedure.
Spells and seals are indispensable.
The severed right hand completely lost its former flexibility.
"!" Chen Li couldn't help but get angry.
He took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried several more times before he finally succeeded in casting the spell, and he reset the broken bones that had been slightly misplaced and broken again.
Then wait for the recovery.
"I don't know how far Zhou Hong has run."
The wound is becoming more and more itchy and is rapidly healing on its own.
There was nothing to do, he picked up the storage bag of the ancestor of the Zhou family, and entered the spiritual power for refining, and the spiritual imprint left by the strong man of the foundation was far from being comparable to that of a Qi cultivator, and it was quite difficult to remove.
Fortunately, this is a rootless source after all.
Under his endless spiritual power.
The spiritual imprint was quickly worn out.
"It's a five-party storage bag!" Chen Li's face showed a hint of joy.
This kind of storage bag.
It is available at the Immortal Sect's magic weapon shop.
It is worth three high-grade spirit stones.
This storage bag alone is worth his entire net worth (of course, not counting the robe and the like)
And that's just the storage bag itself.
There are also dozens of bottles of pills inside.
A stack of talismans.
A book volume.
A pile of spirit stones.
Three ritual instruments.
Four robes.
And some miscellaneous stuff.
"What kind of spirit stone is this?" He pulled one out of the storage bag.
This spirit stone appears crystal clear, quite pure, and with a slight sense, you can sense the huge spiritual power precipitated inside.
"Could it be a high-grade spirit stone?" Chen Li said secretly.
The more Chen Li thinks about it, the more likely it is.
There are four in such a spirit stone storage bag, and if it is a high-grade spirit stone, these four alone are equivalent to at least four hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
Chen Li simply took out all the spirit stones from the storage bag, put them on the table, and counted them carefully, there were one hundred and fifty-two medium-grade spirit stones, forty-three low-grade spirit stones, and four high-grade spirit stones.
Converted into medium-grade spirit stones, a total of five hundred and fifty-two.
"Hey, the strong man who builds the foundation is really rich."
He continued to count.
The only book scroll in the storage bag, titled "The Rainbow Technique"
Chen Li picked it up and flipped through it and found that it was a second-order first-order technique, which was not at all what he could use at this stage.
In addition, ritual utensils and robes.
Except for one item that appears to be of the second order.
The rest are of the first order.
"Wait, these first-order things won't be the relics of Zhao Lin and the others, right!?" The more Chen Li looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and it seemed that Zhao Lin and the others were already more than lucky.
"Hey, what is this!" He took out a flat jade plaque.
