Emgrand's face changed, and seeing that the tortured mountain tiger couldn't strike a blow, he actually flew towards him again.

Although the Torture Mountain Tiger did not have any blades on his body, Emperor Hao saw that he was reaching out into a claw-like shape, and the situation was fierce, and he really pounced on him directly like a hungry tiger. Emgrand didn't have time to think about it, and when he raised his hand, two sword qi swung over. Who knew that when the Xingshan Tiger saw Emgrand's sword qi slashing, he didn't dodge or dodge, and directly grabbed forward with one claw, and actually broke Emhao's two sword qi hard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Emgrand hurriedly withdrew and retreated, but although his speed was fast, the Torture Mountain Tiger was indeed one step faster than him.

In just the blink of an eye, the tortured mountain tiger arrived in front of the emperor. I saw a cruel smile on his face, and his right hand reached into a tiger claw, which had directly attacked Emgrand's chest.

"Die, stinky boy!"

Emgrand couldn't avoid it by himself, so he had to raise his long sword, wanting to resist this blow.

However, he had just come into contact with the strong wind on the claws of the Torture Mountain Tiger, and before he could even remove the slightest bit of this force, he suddenly felt that his whole body was weak, and he couldn't exert the slightest strength, so he could only take this blow hard.

"Ahh

"Emgrand !!" At this time, Ditian found out about the situation here and shouted anxiously.

When Xing Shanhu heard the voice, he suddenly turned his head to look at Emperor Tian, smiled coldly, and said in a calm tone: "Young Master Emperor, don't worry, it's your turn." ”

As soon as the words fell, his figure disappeared from Di Tian's eyes in an instant.

Before Emperor Tian could react, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming. The feeling came from behind him, and it suddenly made a cold sweat break down his spine. Di Tian knew that the situation was critical, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, he immediately put the few little vitality stored in his body into full operation, and drank in his mouth: "Ghost step!"

At the same time, the Xingshan Tiger had already grabbed Emperor Tian with one claw.

However, what Xing Shanhu didn't expect was that when he grabbed this claw, it felt empty. Look at it again, where is there still the shadow of Emperor Tian in front of him at this time, what he caught just now is just an afterimage of Emperor Tian.

Xingshan Hu was still feeling unexpected, but Di Tian was indeed shocked into a cold sweat. If it weren't for the few vitality in his body that he had just urged, and instantly used the life-saving technique that he was best at in his previous life, I am afraid that most of them would have been damaged under the hard iron claws of the Torture Mountain Tiger at this time.

Just this confrontation, Di Tian was already very aware that the strength of this Torture Mountain Tiger was far from what he could deal with now. Although with his current ability, he can't tell what kind of cultivation the Torture Mountain Tiger is, but according to his estimates, I am afraid that he should at least have opened the second layer of coffins and have the cultivation of the human world.

If it is really as he thinks, then on Ditian's side, I am afraid that no one can be his opponent except for the old Xu who has not seen him make a move.

Although Di Tian wanted to take this opportunity to temper himself, the appearance of this torture mountain tiger completely dispelled his thoughts. Just kidding, this cultivator who opened the second layer of coffins is not at all on the same level as the one who has just opened the first layer. Although he escaped by luck with a ghost step in a hurry just now, in the face of a strong man like Xingshan Hu, even if he walked as fast as a ghost, it might not be effective every time. And the most important thing is that at this time, the little vitality in Di Tian's body can't support him to use a few ghost steps at all.

It seems that it is not possible to let Xu Lao come forward, and if it drags on, I am afraid that all of them will be destroyed by the torture mountain tiger alone. In the face of the gap in each other's strength, the Xingshan Tiger was really like a fierce tiger, directly entering the flock, and none of the people brought by Emperor Tian could be his enemy at all.

"Elder Xu, please help. Di Tian came to the carriage where he and Xu Lao were sitting and said respectfully.

After saying that, I waited for a while, but I didn't hear anyone in the carriage respond. Di Tian looked at the entourage around him who had surrounded and prevented the Xingshan Tiger from coming to kill him, and were constantly fighting for their lives to hit the stone with eggs, and the screams echoed in his ears, and he was immediately anxious.

At this moment, Di Tian couldn't help but secretly regret it, he hated why his strength was so weak, every time he faced danger, he always needed others to risk their lives to protect him. This was the case in Qiyun Mountain that time, it was like this in Qingzhou City, and it is also like this now. Sure enough, in this world, people who don't have strength really only have the share of mermaid meat.

For more than ten years, this time and again, the grievances and humiliations have precipitated and accumulated in the bottom of Di Tian's heart little by little, and at this time he was finally on the verge of exploding. Di Tian clenched his fists, at this time, two of his entourages had already died at the hands of the Torture Mountain Tiger in order to protect him, and there was still no movement on Xu Lao's side. Emperor Tian's heart was constantly roaring, I want to become stronger, I must become stronger! From now on, I will never be humiliated everywhere and look at people's faces. A man, if he can't even protect the people around him, then what is the meaning of his existence?

It seemed that he felt the fluctuations in Di Tian's inner emotions, and the Heavenly Dao Sword in his body began to roar lightly at this time, which was an extremely crisp and pleasant sound, like a fairy music, not all in this world. However, this voice could only be heard by Emperor Tian alone, and the Heavenly Dao Sword resonated with Emperor Tian's anger at this time, and a huge force came out of the Heavenly Dao Sword, constantly replenishing the vitality that Emperor Tian had almost consumed.

Suddenly, for a moment, Di Tian suddenly felt that his divine consciousness was a little fluttering, as if he had experienced the same consciousness wandering in the depths of that Qiyun Mountain again.

The sight in front of him suddenly dimmed, and Di Tian seemed to appear in that chaotic space again, and the Heavenly Dao Sword was suspended in front of him, and he groaned happily, as if he was telling himself something. Di Tian looked at the rusty long sword, and there were a few pieces of rust on the sword body that had fallen off, revealing a trace of golden light. Subconsciously, Emperor Tian wanted to reach out and hold the Heavenly Dao Sword.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Di Tian suddenly had a thrill in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and his outstretched hand stopped instantly as if it had been electrocuted.

No, the power of this Heavenly Dao Sword is too strong to be used without permission.

Emperor Tian stupidly withdrew his half-stretched hand, and at this time his consciousness had regained a little clarity. For this Heavenly Dao Sword, he still didn't know its power and ability. The first few uses, although it brought him a certain benefit, but it was also accompanied by great danger in its relativity, and it can be said that if one is unlucky, I am afraid that he will not even know how to die.

Thinking like this, Di Tian resolutely gave up the idea of using the Heavenly Dao Sword, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he recovered from that state of fugue again. When he looked closely, he saw that Emgrand was opening his eyes wide in front of him at this time.

"What are you doing?" the emperor asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, Emgrand first smiled happily, and then said: "Young Master, I should have asked what you were doing? Do you know how dangerous the situation was just now, the Torture Mountain Tiger had already attacked behind you, but I didn't expect that Young Master, you were like a demon at this time, and you were motionless there, which scared us a lot." ”

Hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly recalled in his mind, and the previous scene instantly appeared in front of his eyes.

Just now, the Xingshan Tiger was still trying to chase and kill him, but his entourage delayed for a while, and then he came to the carriage, wanting to seek help from Xu Lao. As a result, somehow, he suddenly lost his mind, and he was in a daze, and he didn't know what he was doing.

At this time, Di Tian suddenly thought of the matter of the Xingshan Tiger, so he turned his head and asked, "Everyone is okay, what about the Xingshan Tiger?"

Hearing this, Emhao's face darkened, and he said: "A few of us are fine, but two brothers have been seriously injured, and I have asked people to take them back to Qingzhou City first, the situation is not very optimistic." As for the Torture Mountain Tiger, when you were in that trance, young master, just now, Elder Xu suddenly made a move and killed him with one blow. ”

"One blow?" Di Tian was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and sure enough, not far from his side, the corpse of Xingshan Tiger was lying there so stiffly. At this time, on the face of the tortured mountain tiger, a seemingly unbelievable expression could be clearly seen, and it seemed that he was dead.

At this time, Emperor Tiancai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this torture mountain tiger was only two or three steps away from the position where he was standing now, at the moment when he was suddenly stunned just now, if there was no help from Xu Lao, the consequences would probably be really unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Di Tian couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

"Young Master, we have almost cleared the boulders blocking the crossing. When the thieves in the tiger head village saw that the tiger had died, they fled one by one as if they were desperate. Now we can continue to move forward towards Zhongshu City. Emgrand said suddenly.

Di Tian nodded, said a word to continue on the road, and then walked to the carriage.

Listening to what Emgrand said just now, at the moment when he was in a trance, it was precisely because of Xu Lao's sudden action that the situation was reversed all of a sudden. It's just a pity that I didn't see that scene with my own eyes just now, and when I asked the emperor and a few of them, they just couldn't tell what was going on, but they saw a figure suddenly flying out of the carriage, and everyone just felt that there was a flower in front of them, and the Xingshan Tiger fell to the ground and died so inexplicably.

Although this scene sounded very simple, Di Tian knew in his heart that if it weren't for the huge difference between the cultivation of the Xingshan Tiger and Xu Lao, even if it was a surprise, it would be impossible for him to be killed by someone without even the slightest strength to fight back.

I have to say that at this time, Di Tian was a little more curious about this mysterious Xu Lao.

Back in the carriage, the group began to continue on their way.

Di Tian raised his eyes and saw Old Xu, who was still sitting there with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and thanked him respectfully: "Old Xu, thank you for your help just now, otherwise, the kid may not be able to save his life today." ”

Originally, he didn't expect that the always taciturn Xu Lao would have any response, but after Di Tian finished saying this, he sat aside, thinking about other things in a mess. At this time, I suddenly heard a voice in my ear: "You kid is really not a little bold, and he takes what the old man said to you before as a deaf ear? Do you think your life is too long or what?"

Listening to Xu Lao's obvious reproachful words, Di Tian's heart at this time was not only frustrated or angry. On the contrary, there was still a little joy in his heart.

After all, for so long, the contact between him and this Xu Lao, if the two of them did not communicate with each other, or there was communication, then Xu Lao's words were as plain as water, as if there was no trace of emotion. However, at this time, hearing Xu Lao's tone of finally a little emotional, although it was full of blame, it also seemed to indicate that the relationship between the two of them was not as rusty as it was at the beginning, which had to make Di Tian happy.

"What Xu Lao taught me is that this time it was the boy's fault, and I have to thank Xu Lao. Di Tian said.

At this time, I only heard Xu Lao snort softly, and then saw him suddenly open his eyes. Xu Lao's eyes stared at Di Tian, his eyes were bright, Di Tian felt that he was like a newborn baby at this time, in front of Xu Lao, he couldn't hide a single thing, and he saw it all through.

"Xu, Xu Lao, what are you ......" Di Tian suddenly felt embarrassed, but Xu Lao's eyes were a little obedient, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I heard Xu Lao's voice preaching: "Little guy, there is a very strange power in your body, which makes the old man feel very curious. ”

"Strength?

He said this, but Di Tian was startled in his heart: Could it be that this old guy actually saw that he had the Heavenly Dao Sword hidden in his body?

I saw that Xu Lao shook his head and was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "You little guy is really very weird, although I don't know what kind of chance you have encountered to get this treasure." But Emperor Boy, I have something to tell you. But all things in heaven and earth, there is yin and yang, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. With this treasure in you, it doesn't necessarily mean a good thing......"

When Di Tian heard this, he was immediately shocked, and Xu Lao really saw that he had the Heavenly Dao Sword on his body.

Xu Lao continued: "In the way of cultivation, the most important thing is the cultivation of body and mind, although some external objects can also bring certain benefits to oneself. But this is also a double-edged sword after all, there are benefits, but there will also be harms. I also hope that Emperor Tian Boy can understand the stakes involved, and don't be greedy for shortcuts for a while, and forget the true essence of cultivation. ”

Xu Lao rarely said so much to himself, Di Tian naturally understood what he meant, and he himself knew very well that the power of the Heavenly Dao Sword was definitely beyond his current control. If a divine weapon like that is not careful, it is even very likely to be controlled by the power of the Heavenly Dao Sword, and it is really dangerous to think about it.

Emperor Tian hurriedly saluted Xu Lao respectfully, and thanked him solemnly again: "Thanks to Xu Lao's suggestion, the kid will definitely keep it in mind." ”

Xu Lao seemed to have finished speaking, and fell into that state of falling asleep and waking up again, and Di Tian didn't say anything more, thinking about other things there.

Thinking about it, since the first appearance of the Dao Sword that day, he had involuntarily entered that trance state many times, and every time he was still in danger. It's also fortunate that his luck is good, otherwise I'm afraid I don't know how many times he has died because of this.

And what Xu Lao said just now is indeed what Di Tian is most worried about now. Although the origin of the Heavenly Dao Sword is still unknown, there is no doubt that it has extremely powerful and unfathomable power, which can bring him great help. However, on the other hand, there is also a lot of trouble. At least for now, he can't control the Heavenly Dao Sword in his body independently, and it seems that every time he is too emotional, the Heavenly Dao Sword will resonate, which will affect his divine sense, making the whole person confused, and regardless of where he is, he will be too void in all kinds of fugues.

Such a situation lurks in a great harm, Emperor Tian knows it, but the annoying thing is that he can't control it freely now.

Alas, it seems that it is necessary to take the time to ponder this broken sword, otherwise I don't know what will happen if I am really killed by it one day. Thinking so, Di Tian slowly closed his eyes, leaned his body in the carriage, and began to rest there.

That Zhongshu City was originally not very far from Qingzhou City, and Emperor Tian and his party set off at noon, although they encountered a little trouble on the way, they finally came to the outside of Zhongshu City before dark.

"Young Master, we have arrived in Zhongshu City. Emgrand said in front.

Di Tian snorted, glanced out of the window of the carriage, and saw that it was already dusk and sunset, and outside the Zhongshu City, there were many people coming in and out. At the gate of the city, there was also a group of more than ten soldiers who were checking the passers-by, all of whom looked fully armed. Emperor Tian had also been to Zhongshu City several times before, although there were also officers and soldiers of the imperial court guarding the city gate at that time, but it was only a symbolic random check at the gate, mainly to control the order at the city gate, so as not to cause any riots.

However, the current situation is a little different, not only is there an additional team of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, but each of them is fully armed, and in the process of checking it is not as random as before, but every pedestrian passing by is carefully checked, which also leads to the process of people entering and leaving the city very slowly, and a long line is stranded at the city gate.

Di Tian secretly said in his heart: It seems that because of the fact that the fleet was set on fire, those thieves are still being searched in Zhongshu City. It's just ridiculous that since those thieves dared to go to the already heavily guarded imperial fleet to set fire, they had obviously already made a plan to retreat, and where would they wait for them to find out here.

Emperor Tian saw that although the soldiers guarding the city were nominally investigating the thieves who set fire to the city in Zhongshu City, they were actually taking advantage of this reason to make a lot of money there, but whenever they saw that those ordinary people had something of value on them, they always took one or two of them, making the people in and out of front dissatisfied, but they also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Shaking his head secretly, Di Tian didn't look any further, like this, in the name of searching for hidden thieves, but in fact, it was clear that he was taking advantage of the fire to rob, and it was not the first time he had seen it. This world is so unfair, the strong are respected, and the weak can only be enslaved by everyone. The way of the world is like this, what is the use of having compassion?

To be honest, the current Emperor Tian can also be regarded as a beneficiary of this level difference, even if he is a waste material that is known to outsiders and cannot be cultivated, but who gave him a superior family background. This alone has made countless ordinary people out of reach.
