Wanxiao mountains, Imperial Sword Sect, among the inner gates.

A figure, with smoke and dust all the way, ran wildly all the way. Faintly, people could hear the hoarse cry of sorrow: "Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Zhao!"

And all the faces of the people changed.

They had a hunch that something was wrong!

Zhao Buqun was practicing swordsmanship in his small courtyard when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and when he was puzzled, he heard the voice of the outer disciple.

The wail that contained a deep fear and grief made Zhao Buqun's face change suddenly. He opened the courtyard gate and quickly came to the front of the outer disciple: "Aren't you Xue Hu's person?

In fact, Zhao Buqun had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Xue...... He's dead!" the outer disciple cried loudly, his voice full of grief and indignation.

Zhao Buqun was stunned.

What the?

And those inner disciples who gathered around also heard the words of the outer disciples, and their faces changed greatly.

"What did you say?" Zhao Buqun lost his temper a little, "How is it possible!"

The outer disciple had been running for a long time, and he was already weak, but he stiffened up and said loudly, "It's true! At that time, I followed Senior Brother Xue to go together, and then he wanted to kill Xu Yiyang with one click, so he took the first step. When I found him out of breath, I saw ...... Xu Yiyang cut off Senior Brother Xue's head!"

Everyone was in an uproar and looked at each other.

The dignified swordsman was decapitated by a piece of waste? What are you kidding!

At this moment, someone shouted loudly...... But it was another outer disciple who arrived with a coffin.

Zhao Buqun rushed forward and opened the coffin, Xue Hu's body ......

Zhao Buqun's eyes were blood-red: "Xu Yiyang, you waste, I must kill you with my own hands!"

............

When Xu Yiyang returned to the sect, he immediately returned to the courtyard to cultivate. Unexpectedly, before he had been cultivating for long, someone sent a war letter for Zhao Buqun - it was agreed that a month later, he would have a life-and-death duel with Xu Yiyang on the life and death platform!

The Imperial Sword Sect has strict rules, but it does not prohibit competition between disciples - this can be seen from a series of laws. The limitation of the activity area and the point system are actually to encourage the disciples to compete, so as to eliminate the weak and leave the essence.

However, the sect also does not want unbridled internal friction! Therefore, it is okay to fight, but human life cannot be lost. However, after a long period of struggle, there will always be irreconcilable contradictions, and if we do not give appropriate channels to vent, it will inevitably cause a prairie fire.

Therefore, the Life and Death Terrace appeared, which was opened once a month at the end of the month. On the platform of life and death, there is no sect law to govern, and no one is forbidden to interfere, and the two sides fight fairly. When the time comes, any agreement will be decided by the winner.

In the words of Yuan Guanyi, it means that the winner has all rights.

And the grudge between Zhao Buqun and Xu Yiyang was concluded as early as the first fight. After that, there was Xue Hu's pursuit and killing. Xu Yiyang's mentality is different from the past, and he has a strong killing intention against Zhao Buqun, so he took the battle book without hesitation!

In the Sawtooth Mountain Range, Xu Yiyang has been fighting hard, and after returning to the sect, he has been even more disturbed. Now, he finally had time to sort everything out.

With a clear mind, Xu Yiyang sat down cross-legged, and his true qi began to travel around his body like wisps. Those slightly tangled meridians began to soothe, and some uncomfortable organs also began to squirm, removing wisps of congestion......

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly opened his eyes and opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of black blood. These are the blood congestion that has been stagnant in the body and meridians under the battles of the past. After squirting, Xu Yiyang immediately felt an extreme comfort, as if all the burdens had been put down.

Then, Xu Yiyang felt every muscle fiber trembling. In his senses, those muscle fibers seemed to become tight ropes, and each tremor made the rope tougher.

This is...... The tempering of the flesh!

Xu Yiyang couldn't help but be a little happy, it turned out that his body could be further refined!

The sword box jumped out at this time: "The path of body refining can be said to be endless! You have just embarked on this road now, how can you be complacent so quickly? Little guy, life has an end, and cultivation has no end!"

Xu Yiyang was accustomed to the other party's "intermittent convulsions" and did not talk.

"You must know that the tempering of the body needs to be gradual. The sword box conjured up a goose feather fan. It's just that this small and white goose feather fan, held in the hands of a black bear-like man, no matter how you look at it, you don't think the painting style is right.

But the sword box is leisurely: "The first step is the overall tempering, which we call 'bathing fire'." That is to say, you are still a piece of ore, which needs to be forged in the fire, initially eliminate impurities, and make comprehensive adjustments to your body. ”

Xu Yiyang's eyes became serious: "Bathing in fire?"

"Yes, for example, you're at that stage right now. The meridians, bones, viscera, five senses, tendons, and epithelia all need to be well adjusted by forging. After this stage, the body can be further tempered. After you have fixed your pulses, forged your bones, calmed your bones, brightened your senses, dissolved your muscles, and strengthened your skin, you will have to go through a fire bath to re-integrate and refine all the strengthened qualifications. Wait until you are immersed in the fire for nine times, and you can say that you have achieved a little success!"

Xu Yiyang was stunned, refining his body so complicated...... What will it look like in this way?

"What stage am I in now?" Xu Yiyang was stunned for a long time before asking, making the sword box too addicted to the "master".

"What are you doing now......" The sword box shook the feather fan lightly, and shook his head disdainfully: "Don't say anything about fixing veins and forging bones, you haven't even finished the preliminary bathing fire!"

Xu Yiyang was a little speechless: "Won't it?"

The sword box is still in the shape of a master: "Little guy, there is a long way to go, you should work hard!"

After that, the sword box refused to speak again and disappeared.

Xu Yiyang sat on the ground, his face looking overjoyed. Myself...... It's still in the preliminary stage? However, in the face of a swordsman of the Visible Level, he can still fight and kill it! If he completes the heavy bath of fire, then ...... Isn't it possible to kill the swordsman?

Poor Xu Yiyang, how did he know that it was a huge leap from a swordsman to a swordsman......

Xu Yiyang no longer wasted time, he secretly made up his mind that he must complete the bath within a month.

For three days in a row, Xu Yiyang worked hard to temper his body. As his true qi swam, he felt more and more that his strength and speed had improved compared to before. In the midst of joy, the sword box yawned and lazily reappeared.

I said...... Didn't you kid listen to me carefully at all?" said the big man who had conjured up from the sword box, lying down without any image, and squinting his eyes.

Xu Yiyang was stunned, gathered the wandering true qi back into the dantian, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did I do wrong?"

The sword box jumped up: "What do you want? What do you mean? You are a pig's brain...... No, it's not appropriate to say that you are a pig's brain, after all, it is an insult to pigs!"
