It's the first day of the new year.

In mid-December last year, all parts of the world were attacked by aura creatures, and the Huaguo Qi Refiner captured an aura creature - Qin Ming had seen the news and never paid attention to it.

At this time, here, Qin Ming raised his head in a daze.

......

Mentor Wang De held his waist, gasping for breath, looking embarrassed.

This moment.

The hair, body, trouser legs, all wet, facing the dark winter night, the cold wind, the churning river, the turbulent and undulating water, the dead branches and fallen leaves that were broken by the shock, and the frozen soil on the bank that broke one after another - Wang De shivered, it was really a little cold.

......

Pioneer Martial Master Lu Qi gritted his teeth and pursed his mouth, his mouth full of blood.

This is the Martial Saint level.

Just after the fight, he was defeated in an instant, Lu Qi had no room for struggle, he was pressed to the bottom of the river, like a canopy to suppress, the oppressive force almost crushed the flesh and blood, and then was thrown on the river bank, almost falling apart.

Unbeatable!

Can't fight!

Lu Qi's mind is chaotic, but his brain is calm, still looking for a glimmer of hope.

......

The night was shrouded, there was no moonlight, and the black shadow hanging high in the air looked down at the three of them, with a strange tone, and it seemed that men, women, and children spoke in unison: "The three of you are good bargaining chips, plus those people in Base Six, it is enough to redeem an aura creature, right?"

Bargaining chips!

It wants to save the aura creature!

Qin Ming's mind was racing, and it suddenly dawned on him that the attack on the base tonight was due to their attempt to exchange for the aura creature that had been captured alive by the Qi Refiners, which was too ridiculous.

'Reiki Age version of the mass kidnapping incident?'

'The kidnappers: the source of pollution. ’

'Hostage: Base Six. ’

'Ransom: The aura creature that doesn't know whereabouts. ’

Thoughts flashed through Qin Ming's mind, his heart beat violently, and his complexion changed again and again.

"What the hell is this!"

"They are not human, they know how to negotiate, and they are really wise!"

Qin Ming fell into an ice cave.

This is completely different from the first time I met Ning Moli, who was almost scared half to death.

It was in the city, with surveillance facilities, legal protection, a high degree of stability, familiar neighborhoods, and no danger since childhood.

And at this time.

I witnessed the explosion of fire, the fall of the wreckage of the fighter plane, the sound waves echoing over Base 6, the loud roar, and the traces of cloud explosions caused by artillery fire in the sky...... It was cold again, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the wilderness, empty and quiet places, full of dead silence...... In addition, hiding at the bottom of the river, being knocked on the window by it, and slapping the car body like crazy, Qin Ming did not collapse, and his psychological quality is very good.

"Okay. ”

"Just survive. Qin Ming tried to comfort himself in his heart, at least the hostages were still useful and would not die.

Wu Sheng's great power, turning over the river and the sea, can be called a strategic weapon.

Looking at the front of him, even the second realm of martial arts, the pioneer martial artist Lu Qi was defeated miserably, not to mention his own high-level martial artist realm, like an ant on the side of the road, weakly waiting for the judgment of life and death.

Tick~

Tick~

There seemed to be droplets of water dripping, and it was Lu Qi's arm hanging by his side, with severe pain and weakness, highly curved, slightly hideous wounds, slowly flowing hot and bright red blood - the blood of the martial artist fell on the frozen soil on the river bank along the edge of the forearm and palm, dyeing red withered grass leaves, exuding a bloody fragrance, similar to a rich floral fragrance, which is one of the characteristics of the human body's super-evolution.

'Miserable. ’

Qin Ming glanced at it.

Several of the wounds, deep enough to see the bone, were heartbreaking.

But these were just skin wounds, really serious injuries, in Lu Qi's body.

"Ahem. ”

Lu Qi coughed twice in a low voice, like a wail and a moan, and blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth.

The chest was dented by the beating.

The ribs broke, digging into the internal organs, and somewhere the organ seemed to stop functioning.

This kind of injury, from the inside out, the internal organs seem to be all upside down, and the inside of the flesh and blood body is oozing blood everywhere.

Fortunately, the strength of the second realm of martial arts is to strengthen the body, redevelop the body, super-evolve the internal organs of the five senses, and polish the flesh and blood that are as solid as gold.

"Whew, whew. ”

Lu Qi adjusted his breathing and stared at it: "What does that aura creature have to do with you?"

The black shadow's eyes flickered, shining with white light, like a condescending king: "As long as that Qi Refiner is willing to let it go, we will let you go, otherwise you will all die." ”

"The three of you. ”

"Including everyone at Base Six. ”

Its voice, overlapping and overlapping, was eerie, like several people speaking at the same time.

Its tone, gloomy and cold, seemed to add a touch of chill to the winter night.

"Huh. ”

Lu Qi was not afraid of the danger, and sneered: "That aura creature may have been dissected. ”

"Humans can't do it. ”

The black shadow suddenly interrupted Lu Qi's words, fell from the sky, and stood on the surface of the river: "According to your human cognitive concept, aura creatures are equivalent to electromagnetic life. ”

Implication:

It thinks that with the scientific and technological level of human beings, it is impossible to dissect Reiki creatures.

At most, imprison the aura creatures and do some observation experiments.

"Electromagnetic life?"

Lu Qi frowned.

The second realm of martial arts is divided into four stages.

Pioneer martial artist, standing at the top, very close to the realm of martial saints.

Therefore, in Base No. 6, on the surface, he is the best among many cultivators, but in fact, Lu Qi's authority is relatively high, and his status is extraordinary, and he is qualified to read some secrets.

For example, the composition of Reiki creatures......

There is still no accurate statement......

Within the practice, the prevailing view is that Reiki creatures have a special organ capable of converting electromagnetic radiation into entities.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Is it converted between matter and energy?"

"That's not the right attitude. The black shadow approached step by step above the river, and walked towards the three of them: "The three of you resist individually, don't run around, follow me obediently, cooperate honestly, understand." ”

It shows what it really is.

A middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitudes of life on the outside, seems to have experienced wind and rain, and his face is pitted.

Such an unremarkable appearance completely exceeded Qin Ming's psychological expectations.

Unexpected!

There is no horror!

I don't see any otherworldly features...... Qin Ming glanced at Lu Qi, who was blocking in front of him, and whispered to Wang De, the mentor next to him, "That, let's still follow." ”

I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't shudder.

Qin Ming is not a heroic hero who has experienced a hundred battles, no matter how brave and bold he is, he can't put life and death out of the way.

The seemingly ordinary middle-aged man's eyes shone white: "This is the right choice." ”

"Makes sense. ”

Lu Qi smiled and didn't look back at Qin Ming, as if he was talking to himself: "However, my instructor once told me never to compromise with the enemy, never retreat, never surrender. ”

Behind him, Qin Ming was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at his mentor Wang De.

From a perceptual point of view, Qin Ming agrees very much - he would rather die standing than refuse to live on his knees, which is a radiant quality, a tenacious and unyielding will, and a precious spirit inherited by the ancestors of China since ancient times.

And rational analysis......

It's no different from being sent to death......

Neither is it a struggle for the destruction of the country and the family, nor is it a resistance to the catastrophe of annihilation, Qin Ming's idea is very simple, first perfunctory words, fooling the past, there is no need to go online.

If the later talks collapse, it's not too late to find a way to fight hard.

"Normally, you're right. Mentor Wang De said softly: "But at the base, when the alarm sounded, I received a definite news that the No. 3 base was dead, and all the personnel were killed. ”

“......”

Qin Ming opened his mouth, speechless, shocked and dazed.

At this time.

Lu Qi, who was in the way, gritting his teeth, and holding on to his serious injuries, was stunned, turned his head sharply, stared directly at Wang De, and his hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat:

"Really, really!?"

Lu Qi's voice trembled.

It was an experimental base.

Cultivators, researchers, and auxiliary staff members are probably about a thousand people, including a few of Lu Qi's close friends.

Before Wang De could speak, he only listened to it explain in a flat tone: "I entered Base No. 3, intending to use death to deter and threaten those people to obey and hand over the location of the aura creature's captivity, detailed coordinates, and key information. ”

"In the beginning, no one answered. ”

"I tortured and killed ten people, and no one said anything. ”

"I killed another hundred, two hundred, and still no one said. ”

"I didn't know until I killed the last one, and those people really didn't know. ”

"Stumps and broken arms, everywhere, screams and wails are close to the ears, it is estimated that no one can carry it, and can keep the secret. ”

Follow.

It looked indifferent and pointed at the three of them: "Now the situation is different. Base 3 is a good example, with this lesson from the past, Base 6 is a bargaining chip, and we are more willing to redeem that aura creature than your life. ”

Wang De shook his head: "Whoever believes these words is an idiot." ”

It also shook its head: "If you don't want to cooperate, you can only kill, anyway, humans can't kill undead aura creatures, and then find a chance to save the totem in the future...... Hehe, if you accidentally say something wrong, please ask the three of you to go on the road. ”

It turns out that it's really not human!

Crazy and decimored, Qin Ming was angry.

Airplanes!!

Lu Qi spoke directly with practical actions, showing the anger in his heart, the burning anger.

He drummed up a long river of qi and blood, exploded his internal force, like a round of small sun, took two or three steps, and triggered a sonic boom with one punch!

"Alas. ”

At the same time, Wang De sighed: "My old bones are about to lie in the coffin, and I didn't want to make a move." ”

Qin Ming turned his head sideways, completely shocked: "Mentor, you are also a martial artist!"

"Of course not. ”

Wang De waved his hand weakly: "Who said that if a cultivator does not reach the stage of Qi Refining, he must be powerless? There are always exceptions to everything, and I, Wang De, am the exception!"

As he spoke, holding his head high, Wang De strode over, and at the center of his eyebrows, the aura began to gather frantically, instantly forming a funnel that hung upside down in the sky.

Memories are a power.

Even if the impact of the Qi Refiner fails, there is still incredible power at the cost of urging with all his might.

Bang!

The massive aura is centered on Wang De, almost like a huge funnel, and like a tornado in the night, the aging body is the source, pulling the aura in all directions!

When Qin Ming was shocked, a figure covered in blood crossed in front of him, the pioneer martial artist Lu Qi was like a broken sack, his limbs were twisted abnormally, his left arm and wrist were completely cut by it, and his palm had disappeared, exposing the blood-stained bones and tendons.

Just two or three seconds!

Just throw it back!

He saw Lu Qi vomiting blood, mixed with a small number of internal organ fragments, his expression was painful, and the martial artist's body was like tatters, shattered by the great force, and let out a scalp-numbing moan.

Knock, knock, Lu Qi's weak heartbeat was like the beat of a drum, and with each beat, the blood that was transported throughout the body overflowed from the wound on the surface of the body.

Whew, whew, Lu Qi gasped violently!

"Go north!"

Lu Qi grabbed Qin Ming's ankle: "Don't believe the words of the pollution source, they are a collection of negative emotions, full of desire to kill and destroy, having wisdom does not mean that you can communicate!"

What kind of negotiation, what kind of hostage, at this time, Qin Ming clearly realized that it was like a cat playing with a mouse, even if it really redeemed the aura creatures, it would still kill everyone in the sixth base.

But......

What's the point of going north, the Martial Saint has the extraordinary characteristics of supersonic flight......

Qin Ming squatted down, tore off the clothes on his body, and urgently bandaged Lu Qi: "You control your muscles first and lock up the blood that flows out." ”

"It's useless to run away. ”

"If you want to die, you will die. ”

At this moment, Qin Ming's heart was also ruthless, and he simply put aside his unrealistic fantasies, and while assisting Lu Qi in dealing with his wounds, he summoned the interface of the potential system.

If there is a miracle of desperate outbreaks.

Most likely it should be on those two gray functions that are not optional.

He secretly snorted, trying to activate the undeveloped functions, and did not pin all his hopes on his mentor Wang De.

Right now.

The night was torn and shattered, replaced by a rain of light.

Qin Ming looked up, Lu Qi looked sideways, and saw Wang De with white hair, his momentum was rising, and the snow-white hair started from the root, gradually turning pitch black, floating at will in the cold wind, the back seemed to be covered with a veil of light, and a large number of light spots were undulating, like stars.

The aura gathers, connecting the heavens and the earth, like a giant funnel!

The aura is boiling, the storm is passing, and Wang De is incarnated as the source of a humanoid tornado walking on the ground!

Winter nights turn silent.

The cold wind froze.

The churning river, the splashing water, the branches and grass on the bank lost their color, only the illusory light shone more and more, and the stars surrounded Wang De's body like the moon.

"Spirituality leads to spiritual energy!"

He stepped out of the halo ripples step by step, and a hazy palace rose behind him, like a mirror and a mirage, filled with a warm atmosphere.

The palace was angular, tall and majestic.

It was an illusory image, made up of a large amount of aura, a reflection of the reality of the palace of thought.

"Memories are a power!"

Wang De has always firmly believed in this point of view and has never doubted it.

The early days of the appearance of Reiki.

Originally impacted the Qi Refiner.

Wang De decided to choose anger, mobilized the sum of his anger for a lifetime, and hit the third level of cultivation, and failed to damage his brain.

At that time, I thought that catharsis anger was incomparably powerful.

And at the moment.

He entered one memory node after another...... He was in the student period, his first love was budding, his heart was pounding, and he was simple and excited without any factors, as if there was only one person in the world in front of him...... He saw the scene of his eldest son falling to the ground, he saw the nurse holding his little daughter through the glass of the delivery room, and the newborn baby was always so ugly, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, and he looked forward to it with joy...... When he returned to middle age, his children were happy on his knees, and his elderly parents were there...... The joy, happiness, and fulfillment of most of my life accumulate together and converge together, what a strong and fiery emotion it will be!

"Positive, positive, sunny emotions—"

"The most empowering thing!!"

Wang De pressed his eyebrows and ignited the spirituality of the thinking palace.

"Come, come!"

Wang De walked in front of it and slapped it out with one palm, and the aura and spirituality all burned!
