Chapter Forty-Seven: Enemies of Life and Death
On the barren path, the grass is barren. A lonely figure staggered through the yellow world, its body as if it was about to wither away like the world of wild grass.
It is clear that it is the season of spring flowers, but where the mountains are connected, it is autumn. The withered trees were covered with golden leaves, the sun was so weak, and everything seemed to be preparing for winter.
The lonely figure finally couldn't walk, and fell headlong under a big tree in the midst of the swaying. After a while, he slowly got up from the ground, and struggled to lean against the tree and panted heavily.
The man was covered in gray hair, and the wrinkles like knives ran deep between his skin. The whole person and the surrounding environment are full of death, and it seems that they will die at any time.
This person is none other than Elder He, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion who escaped from the Medicine King Divine Valley a day ago.
At this time, he was like a lost dog, and the black blood marks on the corners of his mouth had already dried up. His eyes were full of self-deprecation, and he lay quietly under the big tree waiting for death to come.
When he came out this time, the head of the family, Li Yuntian, gave him a death order. If he can't catch Long Yunzhou, he won't go back alive, this is also the first time he has received a mission to complete at the cost of his life after staying in the Li family for a hundred and fifty years.
He confidently led hundreds of masters out of Shangyang City, originally thinking that the biggest enemy might be the hidden unknown. But he guessed wrong, although he lost all his men, although his mission was a complete failure, although he almost lost his life.
But all this is not all the reason for the way he is now, what he really loses to is the companions around him.
A black shadow slowly covered Crane Lao's face, and the weak sunlight disappeared under the obscuration of that black shadow. Crane didn't open his eyes, just smiled self-deprecatingly.
"You're finally here!" As if waiting for an old friend, Crane Lao's words were full of anticipation and a sense of vicissitudes.
"Yes, I'm here. The sudden black shadow said silently, and the sunlight pulled him straight. A cloud of black gas slowly dissipated from around him, revealing a cloudy face.
This person was the mysterious middle-aged scribe from the Stygian Sea, and in his arms, Linglong stared at the two men who were originally companions with wide eyes.
"I should have thought that if I had fallen behind, you would have been the first to dodge. We were originally two tigers in a cage, and the two tigers competed with each other, and in the end we could only allow one to survive. Crane Lao coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face turned even paler.
After escaping from the Medicine King Divine Valley, he lost most of his primordial spirits, and his only thought was to flee from this place as soon as possible. But he didn't expect that the white-clothed scribe who followed him would secretly attack him.
Originally, the cultivation of the white-clothed scribe was not as high as his, but after being seriously injured, the old crane lost a lot of ground, and he was in a hurry to run for his life. Only then was the white-clothed scribe successfully attacked and ended up at this moment.
Crane Lao was very remorseful, and when he was seriously injured, he only remembered to run for his life, but he forgot that in fact, the white-clothed scribe who was the biggest threat to him in this mission.
Crane Lao is the old man of the Li Mansion, and this white-clothed scribe is a wizard who has just entered the Li Mansion. He is good at the art of flying to the sky and the earth, and can control the evil qi, which is very valued by the head of the family, Li Yuntian, and faintly has the posture of replacing the crane elder.
The two have been fighting openly and secretly, and Crane Lao is deeply rooted in the Li family and has many supporters. But this white-clothed scribe was scheming and had always avoided a head-on conflict with Crane Lao, so two factions gradually formed around the two in the Li Mansion.
They were thinking about killing each other all the time, but Crane Lao forgot at the most critical moment that there was such a person by his side who wanted his life.
Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Crane Lao smiled bitterly and said, "There is a question that has been bothering me, what kind of place is the Stygian Sea where you came. Also, why did you come to our Li family? ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the white-clothed scribe's mouth, and he said softly: "These, the dead don't need to know anymore. Without you, I don't have any obstacles. ”
Suddenly, he pointed a single finger at the center of Crane Lao's eyebrows, and a sinister aura suddenly penetrated Crane Lao's body like a match. Crane Lao only felt as if thousands of needles were piercing his body at the same time, and he roared in pain.
But this was only the beginning, and the black evil qi quickly dispersed after entering the body.
It spread to the whole body like a thunderbolt, wandering through the various meridians of the body, and finally absorbed all the spiritual power and true qi, and then gathered near the remnants of the crane elder, wrapping the weak primordial spirit in it.
"You, what the hell have you done? Kill and kill, don't insult your opponent like this. Crane Lao roared in pain, but he couldn't move his whole body at all, so he could only endure the painful torment for life.
The white-clothed scribe sneered: "Don't you want to know what the Stygian Sea is? This is the way we people of the Stygian Sea act, we never show mercy to the enemy, and will never give the enemy a chance to turn over." ”
"If you are given a year, although you can't recover your previous cultivation, you still have the ability to kill me. As much as I would love you to die, at least you can't die right now. Keep you, I'm still useful. ”
The white-clothed scribe sneered and looked at Crane Lao, and then looked down at Linglong with a look of disdain in his arms. With a chuckle, he patted Crane Lao's face, and walked away into the distance with Linglong turning into a wind.
In the barren grass, only the painful screams of the crane elder were heard, and as time passed, they gradually became inaudible.
A cyan glow in the sky flew from the direction of the Medicine King Valley, and a young man with a handsome face faced the fierce wind, his hair flying into a black line in the sky. Beside him, a woman who would have moved all men at the sight of him leaned on the young man tightly, and infinite tenderness was displayed between the softness.
These two were none other than Long Yunzhou and Yutong, who had left the Medicine King Divine Valley early in the morning without saying goodbye to anyone. This trip to the Li family is full of dangers, and they may never come back.
Long Yunzhou doesn't like that kind of goodbye to life and death, so it's better to leave like this.
Just as he was flying against the wind, Long Yunzhou looked down and suddenly saw that the ground under his feet suddenly had a huge contrast. On one side is the prosperity of flowers, but on the other side is the dead silence of the withered grass.
If this kind of gap is not naturally formed, it must be caused by monks with great magical powers. He frowned, didn't talk to Yutong, and took her directly from the sky to the wild grass.
He was extremely fast, but he didn't fall directly into the grass. Life gradually made him more cautious, and such strange sights appeared that he had to be cautious.
But the ground under your feet does not seem to be in any danger, between careful observation. Long Yunzhou's brows furrowed even tighter, the reason why the plants in a radius of hundreds of miles here had become like this seemed to have been robbed of their vitality by some strange force.
"What a terrible power to turn a plant in a radius like this in one performance. Long Yunzhou gasped, which reminded him of the people he had met back then.
They used evil qi, and when Shi Jinghai exploded, all the plants and creatures that touched it died in an instant.
But what you see in front of you is obviously far from the evil qi generated by Shi Jinghai's self-explosion back then. But the power that can make plants within a radius of hundreds of miles at the same time accelerate the speed of life burning should not be underestimated.
After a while, Long Yunzhou's eyes fell on a withered tree. A soft grunt could be heard in my ears, and a figure was lying crookedly under the tree.
Long Yunzhou flew towards the big tree with Yutong, and at the same time held the Qinglin Sword tightly in his right hand. If anything happens, he will kill his opponent mercilessly.
Flying on the big tree, Long Yunzhou's eyes froze. There was an old man with a withered face sitting under this tree, but Long Yunzhou still recognized this person at first sight, it was the old crane who almost killed himself in the Medicine King Divine Valley.
"Huh, it's you?" I haven't seen it for a day, and this crane seems to be hundreds of years old. The whole person is no different from a dried corpse, and the black filaments swim under the skin, which looks very terrifying.
Long Yunzhou landed beside him, feeling that this person was out of breath and inlet in less, obviously at the time when the oil ran out. And there is a strange force swimming in his body, and its power is very amazing.
At this moment, Crane Lao opened his eyes suddenly. The dry eyes that were sunk into the eye sockets burst out with crazy resentment, staring at Long Yunzhou fiercely like a poisonous snake.
"You're going to die!" Long Yunzhou said emotionlessly.
"Yes, little bastard, I'm going to die. But even if Lao Tzu dies, he will pull you to be the back. Crane laughed madly, and there was an indescribable pleasure in his smile.
Long Yunzhou suddenly felt strange, and suddenly his consciousness swept and found that there was a crazy force rotating in Crane Lao's body. The force of the rotation was getting faster and faster, and even his skin could be seen bulging rapidly.
"No, he's going to blow himself up and die with me. As soon as this thought arose, Long Yunzhou grabbed the rain and rose to the sky.
At the same time, the true qi in the body was rolling and flowing, and the Eight Poles Thunder Fist was the first to be used. Thunder flashed out of his fist like a roaring dragon, and at the same time, three thunderbolts smashed towards Crane Lao in no particular order.
Heaven and earth turned color at this moment, and there was a dull thunder in the sky in response to the Eight Poles Thunder Fist.
Crane Lao, who was laughing, suddenly exploded all over his body, and a black evil qi exploded violently at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, the three violent thunderbolts hit the black evil qi in no particular order.
But listening to the sound of the boom and the sudden wind, Long Yunzhou and the others, who had already flown thousands of feet into the sky, could still feel the powerful aftermath of the explosion rolling towards the two of them.
A third thunderbolt struck the black aura, making it disappear without a trace.
Standing in mid-air, Long Yunzhou had palpitations. If he had just allowed the black evil qi to explode, then today he and Yutong would have to come to the end of their lives like the withered grass all over the ground.
He looked up into the distance, in the direction of Shangyang City.
Suddenly, he turned into a long rainbow and flew rapidly in that direction.
