"Xiaotian, what are you doing, stop it!" But no matter how she shouted, Zhou Xiaotian didn't seem to hear it at all, and still stood in place, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Hu Tianyao in the audience, letting the blood on his left wrist continue to flow.

Zhou Xiaotian had a complicated look in his eyes, smiled sadly, and said, "This sealing formation can only be broken by the blood sacrifice of a living person, and the iron sword can only be pulled out when the blood flows all over the formation." I'm afraid that by then I will be more than lucky, but even if I die, I don't want to see you sad in front of my eyes. ”

Hu Tianyao looked at the blood that kept flowing from Zhou Xiaotian's wrist and had flowed most of the magic circle, tears welled up, constantly slapping the golden light shield, and shouted bitterly, "Please, stop it, if you die, I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life, what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Xiaotian's face was pale, his legs became weak and weak, he slowly closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see Hu Tianyao's sad face, two lines of tears silently crossed his face, allowing her to cry and beg under the stone platform.

"I only hope that under this seal is a way out to the outside world, and if you can leave safely, I will die a well-deserved death. ”

Seeing that the blood was about to flow all over the entire formation pattern, Zhou Xiaotian's consciousness gradually blurred at this moment due to excessive blood loss, and he staggered towards the iron sword with his will.

When he held the hilt of the sword with both hands, a chill came from the sword, and he was full of excitement, but he was a little sober, and subconsciously pulled the iron sword up.

The blood is gradually draining, and the vision is slowly blurring, but the obsession in my heart has never given up. He roared, revealing the muscles all over his body. As the iron sword was pulled out of the stone platform, the red marks on his wrist became more and more bright red, and the slightest red light looked extremely strange.

At the same time, the red karmic fire erupted, attached to his entire right hand, under the raging flames, the rusty iron sword emitted a 'buzzing' scream, but other than that, it was not damaged in any way, if it was replaced with other magic weapons, it would not be able to withstand the high temperature of this karmic fire at all, I am afraid that it would have already turned into a cloud of steam and disappeared without a trace, which shows that this iron sword is not as worn and fragile as it appears.

On the stone platform, the mysterious seal suddenly won with golden light, and the cracks gradually cracked along the grooves of the pattern array, and the blood in the grooves continued to flow to the iron sword in the center, strangely going deep into the sword.

At the moment when Zhou Xiaotian pulled out the iron sword, the golden light disappeared, and the center of the stone platform collapsed downward, but under the stone platform, there was no passage exit, but what leaked out was a weathered and eroded dragon-headed cane.

Zhou Xiaotian also fell down as the stone platform collapsed, at this moment he was no longer able to support his body, and slowly fell down with an iron sword in his hand, seeing that there was no way out under the stone platform, he couldn't help but be disappointed, he looked at Hu Tianyao who was running over, and said weakly to himself: "Could it be that you really want both of us to be trapped here?"

Suddenly, a puff of green smoke slowly rose from the dragon's head cane, and the smoke slowly condensed, turning into an old man's appearance and appearing in front of the two.

The phantom of the old man, as if he had been asleep for a long time, raised his arms high, opened his mouth, yawned, and said in a hoarse voice: "I finally woke up!

He looked at Hu Tianyao and the others, and didn't seem to expect that there would be a living breath in this isolated island cave, so he floated towards the two curiously.

Hu Tianyao saw the ghost-like ghost in front of him, floating strangely, and his heart was frightened, but he still stood in front of Zhou Xiaotian without hesitation.

"You, you're a human or a ghost, what do you want to do to us?"

"Naturally, I want to save him!" the old man smiled, but he was not angry, and the phantom hand symbolically touched the unreal goatee, and said: "I am neither a human nor a ghost, just a remnant of spiritual consciousness, you don't have to be afraid, my phantom is not a physical object, and it is not a threat to you." And in a little while, the last vestige of my sense will be gone. ”

When Hu Tianyao heard this, he looked at him suspiciously, although his guard was slightly relaxed in his heart, but the figure in front of Zhou Xiaotian did not move away.

"If you don't dodge again, I'm afraid this little brother will really die in the west!"

"Do you have a way to save him?" Hu Tianyao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and suddenly shook his defense.

The old man squinted his eyes, leaked a kind smile, and said, "Although I can't let him recover immediately, I am still somewhat sure that I will save his life, but ???"

"But what?" Hu Tianyao asked.

"But before you can save him, I have a few questions that you must answer truthfully. ”

Hu Tianyao felt that this phantom old man was inexplicably strange, and she didn't know what he was up to, but she was eager to save people, so she had to nod and agree.

"Whatever questions you have, just ask, and I will tell you them all if I know. ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Was that rusty iron sword pulled out by this little brother?"

Hu Tianyao nodded and said, "The sword is in his hand, so naturally he pulled it out." ”

The old man looked at Zhou Xiaotian carefully, and shook his head, as if he was extremely disappointed.

His virtual head was raised high, he looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "I didn't expect that I would guard the 'Xuantian Sword' for thousands of years, but what I was waiting for was such an inconspicuous hairy boy. ”

But when he saw the red mark on Zhou Xiaotian's right wrist, his expression was stunned, and he exclaimed: "I didn't expect it to be a trace of karmic fire! No wonder he was able to pull out the 'Xuantian Sword'." ”

After speaking, the old man's virtual figure floated in front of Zhou Xiaotian leisurely, he flipped his hands quickly, and he couldn't see the movements clearly, only to see the green smoke on his body constantly condense in front of him, turning into a trace of green light and slowly walking towards Zhou Xiaotian, drilling into his seven orifices.

After a while, Zhou Xiaotian's pale face regained a trace of blood, his eyelashes flickered, but he woke up from a coma.

"Xiaotian, Xiaotian, are you awake?"

In Hu Tianyao's constant calling, Zhou Xiaotian opened his eyes, saw the familiar face in front of him, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and was out of breath when he spoke.

"I—I'm fine! I just didn't, I didn't find an exit, and I let you down!"

When Hu Tianyao heard this, he was greatly moved, and his eyes flushed, but he couldn't speak.

"Ahem, ahem! Actually, the exit is inside this cave hall. ”

Hearing this, Hu Tianyao and the others looked at the old man on the side.

Zhou Xiaotian was also shocked when he suddenly saw this phantom old man, and his right hand holding the iron sword moved, and asked vigilantly, "You, what are you?"

The old man frowned, obviously not knowing how to answer, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he said, "I'm nothing!"

And Hu Tianyao, who heard this, stared at the boss with a strange expression, and muttered: "You, you are not a thing?"

The old man nodded, but after thinking for a while, he felt that this sound a little weird, and then he suddenly realized: "Bah, you are not a thing?"

Hu Tianyao glanced at his mouth aggrievedly, and said in his heart: "Isn't this what you said yourself, how can you blame me?"

The old man naturally didn't bother with her, his eyes showed a trace of confusion, as if he remembered a lot of past events, and said: "My body is the divine beast Xuanwu, a long time ago, I was unfortunately killed in a battle with my master to cut the sky, and my body turned into this isolated island where you are, drifting in the sea. And my master also turned into the path of reincarnation, and suffered from that reincarnation for life. Fortunately, when the master's fate fell, I relied on the 'Xuantian Sword' to seal a trace of my spiritual sense in this dragon's head crutch, and it became my mission to protect the 'Xuantian Sword' and wait for the destined person. ”
