Chapter 256: Standing after the Break
Fly back to the place where Hongxiang stayed along the original road, and landed lightly, Hongxiang raised his head when he heard the sound, and called "brother", Xiao Cong walked over with a blank face, stretched out a hand in front of Hongxiang, and said softly:
"Get up, let's not stay here and find another place to spend the night. β
Hongxiang grabbed Xiao Cong's hand, stood up with his strength, smacked a few times with a big grin, and smirked:
"Brother still dares to take a bath on such a cold day, aren't you afraid of being frozen into a popsicle?"
Xiao Cong smiled, only said "Let's go", and turned his head to leave.
Hou Hongxiang hurriedly shouted:
"Brother, wait a minute. β
Xiao Congfu turned his head again, puzzled:
"What, is there anything else?"
Hongxiang didn't speak, but just smiled at the blood-drinking demon ape Nunu who was like an ice sculpture.
Xiao Cong rolled his eyes and teased:
"You kid, what's the matter, the humanoid can also get a mouthful?"
Hongxiang hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and argued:
"No, I think this white-haired old monkey is so powerful, there must be some rare treasure on it, no matter how bad this fur is on the Rinhara, maybe it can come in handy, my brother just left it here, isn't it a pity. β
Xiao Cong bowed his head slightly and said with a joke:
"You have a point, as long as it's not for food. β
Hongxiang pursed his lips dissatisfied, and snorted lightly and gave Xiao Cong a big roll of his eyes.
Xiao Cong took out Zhu Xian easily, holding Zhu Xian in his right hand, but he was slightly distracted, for a moment, he smiled, put Zhu Xian away, and then took out a weapon that looked like a knife but not a sword, like a sword and not a sword, and the sword boring was embedded with seven treasure diamonds arranged into the Big Dipper, although he knew that he could not compare to Zhu Xian, but at a glance, he knew that it was not a mediocre product, besides, what could be hidden by Xiao Cong into Mi Mustard, except for Zhu Xian and Shen Ji, which one was not from Zhong Liqiu's hand! The weapon refined by the old man, how could it be compared to ordinary mysterious weapons?
Holding the sword boring and diamond-studded wonder soldier, Xiao Cong jumped up in the air, and in a violent roar, he first cut off the remaining two petrified arms of the blood-drinking demon ape at the shoulder, and then rose to the sky after landing on the ground, the strange soldier was lifted above his head, and the sword blade went down from the center of his eyebrows, and slashed straight to the chamber just to dock with the previous wound, impartial, just right.
Before the person had time to land, he raised his leg towards the giant-like armless ice sculpture, and the remnants of the blood-drinking demon ape fell to the ground with a bang, Xiao Cong put away the strange soldiers, and it took a lot of effort to peel off the blood-stained fur, this process was barbaric and rude, and Hongxiang who was standing on the side grinned for a while.
Throwing the peeled fur aside, Xiao Cong snapped his fingers lightly with his right hand, and a blue flame the size of a bean appeared on his fingertips, and he threw it on the corpse where the blood-red muscles were clearly visible all over his body.
Hongxiang was puzzled when he saw this, and exclaimed:
"Brother, what are you doing here!"
Xiao Cong turned his head when he heard this, frowned and said:
"You don't really want to taste this humanoid monster. β
Hongxiang shook his head and said hurriedly:
"What else can you leave behind if you throw this fire down!"
Xiao Cong Waner
Laughing,
"Don't worry, my Ziyan is not as powerful as the legend, and only those who can stay in Ziyan on this stump can be regarded as treasures, and those who can't stay are useless to keep. β
The two of them quietly looked at the human-shaped bonfire not far in front of them, the blazing flames reflected Xiao Cong's confidence and Hongxiang's apprehension, less than half a pillar of incense, the flame slowly turned from light purple to purple, Xiao Cong sighed slightly, and said quietly:
"It seems that it has burned to the meridians, but I didn't expect the aura in this old ape's body to be so sufficient. β
When Hongxiang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Cong, who was tyrannical and ruined.
After nearly a pillar of incense, Zi Yan was about to breathe, wisps of light blue like dye stuck to the white bones, still lingering, when Zi Yan was completely extinguished, there were only a few pieces of white and complete bones left in the place where the remnants were placed before - a skull, a hip bone, four leg bones, and a layer of white ash under the bones, mixed into the melting snow water, and then turned into a layer of white plaster.
Xiao Cong smiled slightly, walked to the bones in a few steps, picked them up one by one, and wiped them one by one with a gray cloth.
Hongxiang trotted to Xiao Cong's side, took the skull after Xiao Cong wiped it with both hands, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but free a small hand to knock it with a short sword, the sound was crisp, like a ring, he moved the skull to his eyes again, his eyes were facing the two irregular hollows, as if he wanted to see something from inside, Xiao Cong wiped the other five bones, turned his face to look at the naΓ―ve Hongxiang, and knocked lightly on the latter's head with a smile, and then took the back bone, and said with a smile:
"Okay, don't look at it, hurry up and find a place to rest, it's not too early, and you have to hurry tomorrow." β
As he spoke, he turned his head and left.
The angry Hongxiang turned his face to Xiao Cong, who was already far away, and "glared angrily", Shaoqing, with a little lovelessness, blew the long hair in front of his forehead, and sped up a few steps to follow.
This night, Hongxiang slept very dead as usual, but Xiao Cong was sleepless for half a night, he just lay there with his arms behind his head, looking at the conical canopy with a pair of peach blossom eyes open, he was thinking about everything that happened today, what made him so depressed, so painful, so uncontrollable, so crazy, this question bothered him for most of the night, until early in the morning, he figured it out, so he smiled slightly, his divine sense sank into the mustard, and set up a magic circle to seal, sealing the Zhuxian Sword.
After doing all this, he suddenly felt much more relaxed in his heart.
Since then, Xiao Cong has never used the Zhuxian Sword in his trip to the Yuanyuan, he has always used the strange soldier that looks like a sword and not a sword, because the sword boring is arranged with seven treasure diamonds arranged by the Big Dipper, he named this strange soldier Beidou, and polished a scabbard with a leg bone of the blood-drinking demon ape to match it, for a long time in the future, they became inseparable comrades-in-arms, overcoming obstacles and thorns, although he also knew that Beidou could not accompany him forever, but he still treated it with the same state of mind as Zhuxian, because this made him feel at ease, maybe this is like the old bald donkeys in ancient times
It is written in the scriptures - live in the present, the present, that is, the future.
In this way, for more than ten days, Xiao Cong set up the formation all the way to destroy the formation, looking for it but still did not find the slightest trace of the spirit of the Hades King, but encountered a few ancient beasts, almost let Xiao Cong die, during which Hongxiang also began to participate in Xiao Cong's battle, although it didn't help much, but it didn't help after all, this guy is now a cultivator in the late stage of the realm, and his long-term bloody struggle made his cultivation bottom out in the situation of trying to suppress it, but because of the lack of a solid foundation, he couldn't do Xiao Cong's amazing talent of crossing the border to fightγ
These Hongxiang himself also knows, don't look at this kid usually doesn't say anything, but he has been secretly holding his breath in his heart, so every time he fights in a big battle, he is more desperate than Xiao Cong, which makes Xiao Cong really a little incomprehensible, why this guy who has always been lazy and unenterprising suddenly became so positive and motivated, although he couldn't figure it out, but he felt that this was a good thing after all, so he didn't stop or even say anything, just casually found a reason to prevaricate himself - probably his mind was open.
It's another two months of desperate fighting, Hongxiang's cultivation has successfully broken through into the Heavenly Mirror, but Xiao Cong's cultivation is still lingering in the middle of the Star Picking Realm, and he is not in a hurry about this, after all, he knows that every step in the Heavenly Realm is too difficult, and he can get lucky to get the opportunity of the old mulberry tree to break into the Star Picking Realm is already a shit luck, how can he ask for more, besides, eat one bite at a time, chew slowly and slowly, walk step by step, move forward with a down-to-earth load, and the same is true for cultivation, after all, is not recognized.
Hongxiang successfully broke through the realm of the earth and entered the realm of heaven, not happy but sad, with a bitter little face all day long, venting all his grievances on those flying disasters, Xiao Cong of course knew what this kid was worried about, so he couldn't help but joke:
"Why, does cultivating for entering the Heavenly Realm make you so unhappy?
Hearing this, Hongxiang glanced at Xiao Cong with a small mouth, then lowered his head gloomily, and muttered in a low voice,
"What can you do if your cultivation grows fast, it's not solid at all. β
Xiao Cong smiled and said:
"You're so suppressed, how else can you be solid!"
Hongxiang raised his head and said with a serious face:
"Of course it's like my brother, I know that every time I fight, my brother doesn't go all out, with my brother's skills, with the cultivation of the middle stage of the Star Picking Realm, I can completely defeat the master of the River Crossing Realm, but my brother doesn't want to use all his strength, but wants to sharpen himself. β
Xiao Cong touched his nose and smiled, and said modestly:
"There are no absolutes, and it's not so exaggerated. β
Hongxiang clenched his fists and said word by word:
"I have to show a determination like my brother and stand up after breaking it!"
Hongxiang's sloppy appearance didn't look like a joke, Xiao Cong put away the smile on his face, and asked cautiously:
"How do you break down and legislate?"
Hongxiang raised his head suddenly, his face was still stubborn,
"It's like my brother doesn't have to kill the fairy sword anymore!"
Xiao Cong stroked the bridge of his nose with his right hand again, he didn't know how to respond for a while, he could only smile a little embarrassedly, but he suddenly put away all the covers, he turned his face to Hongxiang, his face was solemn, he put a hand on Hongxiang's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, stand after breaking!"
Just like what he thought that night, why was he so uncomfortable after splitting the blood-drinking demon ape alive with the Zhuxian Sword filled with Heavenly Dao True Qi, the reason was just because relying on external forces to win really hurt his self-esteem. This is the origin of that anger, and the reason why he feels more and more heavy after his victory, he has relied on it so much that he has even seen it as a part of his life, but this is not only because of its worship as a relic of Master Tiandao Weng, but also because of the fear of death? In short, he must cut off his dependence on him and devote himself wholeheartedly to fighting again and again, so that he can psychologically achieve death and resurrection, as well as peace of mind and ease!
The two looked at each other for a long time, the light in their eyes became more and more intense, and the two pairs of eyes seemed to be burning with a raging fire, to see through the road ahead, burning all the barriers, Hongxiang even rose a small mouth, and the whole face looked like revealing his ambition; Xiao Cong's mouth slowly hooked a silent smile, looking a little bit of the world's eyes, this time "master and apprentice" It can be regarded as being honest with each other, in fact, they have always had a common goal in their hearts, that is, to constantly improve their own strength, in order to protect themselves and each other in the upcoming Xuanzhen Tribulation, and even to protect those who are worthy of their careful protection, and this is indeed a difficult process of walking on thin ice, in this process, they need to support each other and reach a tacit covenant, and the time for the covenant to be reached is now!
