The lake water is clear, sparkling, a soft breeze blows, holding a few strands of long hair of a teenager on the edge of the small lake, and "staring" at the lake with the gray-white pupils of summer, and the gently rippling ripples on it are the heart of the teenager at this moment. Under the sunlight, Xia's face was close to transparent, adding a touch of luster to his godless eyes.

A steady figure behind him slowly approached, Jiang Xia did not look back, let the figure come by, and then slowly sat down next to it.

Xie Xuan didn't speak, Jiang Xia didn't speak, the two fathers and sons seemed to fall into silence, speechless, the quiet village was like a word for ten years, and the ordinary life couldn't bury the young man's heart.

"Xia'er. ”

Xie Xuan finally couldn't help but speak, I don't know when a trace of wrinkles appeared on his face that was gradually changing, how many nights he would ask his wife to count a few gray hairs that came out of her temples, his wife was ingenious, and when she was talking and laughing, her white fingertips were gently forced, and the pale thread of trouble gently fell in a corner of the room.

"Hmm. Jiang Xia only responded.

Xie Xuan sighed softly, and a trace of pain welled up between his eyebrows, "Xia'er, back then, your mother and I didn't consciously leave the Xie family, but were driven out. ”

"What?" Jiang Xia's face changed, and he couldn't believe what Xie Xuan said, when he asked them before, they told him that they were tired of the noisy and noisy life, so they lived in seclusion here.

"Xia'er, after your mother gave birth to you, the patriarch knew that you were a blind man and drove out our family of three, your mother followed me here less than three days after giving birth to you, and her health has not been very good since then, and she also swore that you have no relationship with the Xie family, so you are not surnamed Xie, but surnamed Jiang. ”

Clenched Xia's fists tightly, and a fire of anger burned out from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Xuan's eyes softened, and a smile crossed the corner of his mouth, "Fifteen years, we have lived in Bailiu Village for fifteen years, this time is really the happiest time for our family, your mother just wants our family of three to be safe and secure here without being disturbed, watching you grow up slowly, this is your mother's happiness." ”

Jiang Xia was silent, and a slight mist poured out of his gray-white eyes.

"Xia'er, I've already discussed it with your mother. Xie Xuan's tone became solemn, "No matter what decision you make, we will support you, and we also know that this small mountain village can't trap you, and you have your own piece of the world." ”

"Daddy. Xia tears flowed down his eyes, and he clenched his father's thick and warm palm like when he was a child.

Xie Xuan's eyes showed kindness and gently hugged his son into his arms, "Xia'er, your grandfather had some friendship with the dean of Lingwu Academy before his death, I will repair a letter to him, so that he can see your grandfather's face and accept you and Mengyu into the academy, it shouldn't be a big problem, what do you think?"

"Lingwu Academy?" Jiang Xia was shocked.

"Well, the Spirit Martial Academy ranks second among the four major academies, second only to the Holy Martial Academy, you and Mengyu will definitely be able to have a good environment. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Xia nodded vigorously, "Dad, I will definitely not let you down." ”

"Hehe, my son has never let me down. Xie Xuan smiled gently.

At this moment, Jiang Xia's face suddenly changed drastically, and he pushed Xie Xuan away violently, "Dad, get out of the way." The latter was also shocked, and before he could react to what was happening, he saw a splash of water explode on the calm lake with a "boom", and then a white and ten-meter-long serpentine monster opened its bloody mouth towards Jiang Xia.

"White Red Snake King?" Xie Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and a dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light and shot towards the head of the Red Snake Training. "Xia'er, hurry up and get out of the way. ”

The feet of Xia staggered, and the air in front of him was chaotic, and his body hurriedly stepped back. The eyes of the White Red Snake King were like two red gems standing upright, and when he saw Sen Leng's dagger coming towards him, he twisted his body and dodged Xie Xuan's attack.

"Shhh

"Xia'er, don't be afraid, Dad is here. Xie Xuan seemed to be appeasing Jiang Xia's emotions when he was a child, but he didn't know that his heart was even more anxious than that of a child.

Jiang Xia's face was a little flustered, but perhaps because he couldn't see the snake, his fear was not so obvious, "Dad, I'm not afraid." ”

The Red Lian Snake King's eyes were cold, moving back and forth between Jiang Xia and Xie Xuan, and then he rushed towards Xie Xuan with a "whoosh", in his opinion, the latter seemed to be a greater threat.

Xie Xuan's face changed, he glanced at his son not far away, gritted his teeth, and actually pounced towards the Red Lian Snake King, "Open Mountain Fist." ”

Jumping high, the fierce fist hit the head of the Red Snake King, and if it was replaced with a stone, it could be shattered, but even if it hit the opponent's body, Xie Xuan felt that his arm slipped and his strength was all dispersed.

The Red Snake King flicked his tail, and his steel whip-like body slammed heavily on Xie Xuan's body, "Poof!" spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground fiercely.

"Daddy. Jiang Xia was shocked, and when he heard that Xie Xuan was injured, he was already panicking.

"Xia'er, run, leave me alone. Xie Xuan stood up violently, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, and a brilliant golden light suddenly emerged in his palm, and the light condensed into a sharp golden knife half a meter long, "Look at my heaven-level martial arts, split the wind and slash!"

"Huh!" The sound of breaking the wind came into Jiang Xia's ears, and the golden light that was half a meter long flew towards the Red Snake King, perhaps feeling the dangerous aura of the golden knife, the Red Snake King did not dare to take it hard, and his white body twisted quickly, "Huh!" The golden knife slashed lightly from the body of the Snake King, leaving a shallow blood mark.

Xie Xuan's eyes were full of horror, this was already his most powerful move, the fourth-level martial artist was a little powerless against the Shangchi Snake King, he was not afraid of death, what he was afraid of was that his children and wife would be grief-stricken because of this.

"Hiss!" The Red Lian Snake King rushed towards Xie Xuan angrily, his thick body was wrapping around, and Xie Xuan was already tightly entangled, and the blood basin mouth went down, Xie Xuan hurriedly raised his hand and pinched the snake's neck.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Jiang Xia finally deeply realized the pain of being blind, why was he blind, why couldn't he help at all at this time.

Xie Xuan's face was pale, soybean-like beads of sweat were dripping down, his arms were bursting out, and he was pinching the head of the red snake, Rao was like this, the snake's head was slowly getting closer, and he could even ask about the bloody taste in the snake's mouth.

"Xia'er, hurry, go quickly, leave me alone. At this moment, Xie Xuanji is still worried about his own children, he always understands his responsibilities, he is a father, a selfless father.

Xia Da was anxious, his fists were clenched, his nails were deeply sunk into the flesh, and suddenly the gray-white eyes flashed a faint purple, and a picture appeared in Xia's mind, twenty meters in front of him, a big snake more than ten meters long was about to bite the middle-aged man on the ground.

The picture flashed, and the purple of the gray-white eyes was also fleeting, condensing the golden blade of Xia's palm upwards with a half-meter-long blade.

Xie Xuan couldn't support it anymore, and the snake body wrapped around him barely able to exert a trace of strength, "Xia'er, Yan'er, farewell." Slowly closing his eyes, the smell of rancid smell came to his nose.

"Wind Split!"

With Xia's shout, Xie Xuan's arm suddenly loosened, and a snake's head was torn off by himself, and then thrown out. "What's the matter?" When the cold blood splashed on his face, Xie Xuan opened his eyes violently, the head of the white red snake was gone, the broken place of the neck was smooth and flat, and the red blood sprayed his face.

"Dad, are you okay!" Jiang Xia hurriedly ran over, and the young man's delicate face was full of anxiety.

"Xia, Xia'er, was it you just now?" Xie Xuan couldn't believe what had just happened.

Jiang Xia suddenly showed joy, stepped forward and hugged his father, "Dad, great, it's okay if you're fine." ”

Xie Xuan's heart warmed, and he struggled to move his body out of the weak snake body, "It's so dangerous, it's really dangerous." Xia'er, how did you do that?"

"I don't know, I just feel that you are about to be bitten by a snake, so in a hurry, I used the heaven-level martial arts you taught me. Jiang Xia still had palpitations, even he didn't understand what was going on with the picture that appeared in his mind just now.

Xie Xuan gasped for breath, his face was as pale as white paper, "This is the real Red Snake King, the real fourth-level Demonic Beast, it is difficult for a martial artist of the same level to be the opponent of the Demonic Beast." ”

"Fourth-level Demonic Beasts?" Jiang Xia was taken aback, and then asked, "Dad, how are Demonic Beasts classified?"

Xie Xuan glanced at the huge snake body in front of him with jealousy, and said softly: "The level division of demonic beasts is the same as that of martial artists, first from level one to nine, and then at the king level, but they can only reach the king level at the highest, and those above the king level are called demon beasts. ”

"Demon beasts?"

"Yes, because the appearance of the monsters is too fierce and terrifying, similar to some beasts, but the monsters are different, they can become like normal humans, even if you walk on the street, you can't see it at all. Xie Xuan was replenishing his knowledge to Jiang Xia, and he was also in doubt.

Jiang Xia Da was shocked, he didn't expect that there were such extraordinary creatures, and he wanted to see the outside world even more.

Xie Xuan's brows tightened, and he looked thoughtfully at the lake that had already returned to calm, "Xia'er, this small village is quite good in terms of geographical location and environment, and it stands to reason that there are absolutely no demonic beasts. ”

Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, "Dad, what do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is that there must be something wrong down there, and I want to go down and take a look. ”

"What?" Xia Jing's jaw almost dropped, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "No, Dad, one Red Snake King is enough for us, if one jumps out again, our two will die here today." ”

"Xia Er, I still know a lot about the Red Snake King, and there is no way that there will be a second one within five hundred meters, so I'm sure it must be safe down there. Xie Xuan regained his previous self-confidence.

Jiang Xia was still worried, "Dad, I think it's better to forget it!"

"Xia'er, believe me! Dad has never lied to you since he was a child, at most a quarter of an hour, I will definitely come up. After speaking, he gently patted Jiang Xia's shoulder, signaling him not to worry, and then there was a "poof!"
