Chapter 40: The Old Man in the Red Shirt
The old man shook the gourd in his hand slightly, his eyes were uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he shook his head and sighed. There is not the slightest vegetation in the valley, and there are bare mountains and rocks everywhere, and the cold air is like a tide, which turns this slightly desolate valley into a low-temperature world.
All the people who came with Yan Yushui, except for Zhao Qing and Yun Feng, who were drinking on the side, the others were all sitting cross-legged not far away to breathe. I don't know if it's influenced by the old man or how, everyone's state of concentration is not very stable, often people open their eyes, look at the old man nervously, and see that the old man has no action, and then re-settle.
For a while, the entire valley became unusually quiet, and the whistling ice and snow began to become soft and abnormal, silently evolving in the void, slowly falling onto the ice platform, and then turning into a faint ice ray into the old man's body.
But the silence was immediately shattered by an earth-shattering roar.
"Cold old man, come out and die!" A demon cloud descended on the sky above the ancients, the sound was so loud and deafening that the entire valley was shaken. The demon clouds rolled and shrouded the sky, and the light in the valley suddenly became very dim.
This change occurred, and all the disciples of the Mixed Earth Peak who were in the process of entering the meditation got up in surprise and looked at the top of the valley with a stunned expression.
The old man was still sitting cross-legged on the ice platform, as if he hadn't heard anything at all, and he was still slowly turning the gourd in his hand.
"When death is imminent, you are still so calm, aren't you frightened?" A pair of invisible big hands seemed to rush out of the ink-like demon cloud, and they were torn in half at once, revealing a figure.
It was an old man in a red shirt, not tall, even a little rickety, but his whole body was full of demonic energy, turning into the sound of wind and thunder to stir the void, and as soon as it appeared, an irresistible wave of blazing fire was overwhelming the valley.
The ice layer distributed around the periphery of "Kaka" was melted by the high temperature in an instant, and the waves of fire rolled up, and countless ice and snow cold air were steamed into white mist.
The face of the old man in the red shirt was extremely gloomy and hideous, and his eyes were full of indescribable murderous intent, and there was more of a hint of schadenfreude. A gust of demonic wind turned under his feet, and the old man in the red shirt stepped into the valley with a sad sneer all the way.
The momentum exuded by this red-shirted old man surprised everyone, and it was actually the aura of a half-step demon king.
For a while, the two half-step demon kings met in this small valley, and it seemed that there was a deep festival between the two.
The old man didn't speak, just looked at the red-shirted old man so calmly, and a cold light appeared behind him, and a cold current rushed towards the aggressive fire wave step by step. The wind and snow that had calmed down actually began to evolve violently again at this moment, and the bursts of snow wind were as cold as knives, and in the ice and snow world around the old man, a snow tornado storm of ice and snow rose.
One was cold and the other was blazing, and the two diametrically opposed forces slammed together, countless flames and ice crystals burst out and shattered, and the entire valley shook violently in an instant. An unimaginable force erupted from the surface of the impact of the fire wave and cold wave, and a void sometimes froze and cracked into powder, and sometimes burned and melted into powder, forming a vacuum.
Seeing that it was not good, everyone instantly joined forces to create a barrier, protecting the surrounding void to the death, even so, in the impact of the two different castes, everyone was also very uncomfortable. Obviously, I felt that my hands and feet were about to freeze my blood by a cold air, but the air that was exhaled into my body was like a blazing flame, burning between the five internal organs.
With a shocked look, everyone retreated to a corner far away from the two of them, and their bodies were full of true energy, and they didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
The old man in the red shirt smiled at the old man's gloomy hehe, and said: "I haven't seen you for so many years, you don't seem to be advancing but retreating in the cold weather, is it that the injury back then is not healed, have you been extremely uncomfortable for so many years?"
The old man stared at the old man in red shirt and said bitterly: "You will not die well, you dare to have the face to come to see me." ”
The old man in the red shirt said nonchalantly: "Why don't I dare, since I dare to come, I am completely sure, do you think you can escape this time?"
"Traitor, you are a traitor to the entire Clan, and he said that whoever exterminates your clan will be a member of my Hammy Clan. The old man gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Hahaha I'm still so obsessed with dying at the end of my life, I'm going to send you on the road today, and I'm going to pull out your soul so that you might as well die at night. The old man in the red shirt suddenly burst out laughing arrogantly.
Unable to hide the anger on his face, the old man roared angrily: "Aren't you afraid that on the day of Emperor Jiao's return, you will slaughter your Huoyun clan!"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but the day when the Jiaohuang will never be able to return, the soul of the Jiaohuang is completely refined, even if there is no possibility of reincarnation, the Jiao clan will have no emperor from now on, hahaha" The old man in the red shirt said with a hideous expression.
Hearing this, the sadness on the old man's face became heavier, and his chest rose and fell violently, and it turned out to be a mouthful of "wow", spurting out a mouthful of blood. The blood was immediately frozen into blood-colored ice crystals, and "dingding" fell on the ice platform.
"You, you. The old man's expression that spit out a mouthful of blood was obviously a little sluggish, the old man's eyes increased dramatically, and his face began to become distorted and hideous.
"Jiaohuang" twilight, the old man looked up to the sky and roared, a drop of crystal left in the corner of his eye, the ice and snow storm behind him suddenly intensified, and the tornado rushed out of the void in an instant, turning into an ice and snow god Jiao roaring at the endless sky.
That roar, the sound shook the nine heavens, and the infinite ice and snow all the way to the void evolved out, and the ice and snow god Jiao drove a cloud of snow straight up, soaring in the clouds, facing the high sky, roaring madly. The roar, with a trace of sorrow, a trace of resentment, and a hint of helplessness, roared like a muffled thunder, echoing in this boundless mountain range for a long time.
The old man in the red shirt had a trace of disdain in his eyes, and sneered: "Save some effort, you can still toss like this when you are dying!"
A roar fell, and the old man's originally languishing expression began to recover, and a strange flush appeared on his pale and thin cheeks. "Boom" The entire ice platform was shaken down by a strong force in an instant, the old man's clothes were windless and automatic, the drumming hunting sounded, and the breath of the whole body climbed all the way to the peak.
The old man slowly stood up from the void, and the ice and snow cold around him seemed to be cheering, all of them converged behind the old man, and a clear ice and snow world manifested behind the old man.
This is not an illusion, it is a real ice and snow world, as if the old man has opened a huge crack in the ice and snow world.
The old man's breath at this moment was obviously a level stronger than when he was shocking Zhao Qing and the others, and just when everyone was overwhelmed by this huge change, Zhao Qing's face gradually sank.
"Are you going to fight hard?" Zhao Qing's eyes flashed with sadness for some reason, his voice was inaudible, and he muttered.
Seeing that the old man exuded such a majestic momentum, the old man in the red shirt also showed a trace of solemnity, but he still opened his mouth and mocked: "Cold weather, you really haven't grown much over the years, you think you can escape today." ”
The old man's face was expressionless at the moment, his eyes were a dead silence of ice, and he said coldly: "You can try to know if you have grown or not, I am afraid that you will die too early, and it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart." ”
"If you wish, I will drain your soul and calcinate it with my natal fire at night, you will beg me, but before that, I must first get rid of these eyesores. The old man in the red shirt suddenly pointed at the people who were hiding in the corner, and the murderous aura rushed in.
Everyone was shocked, their faces changed suddenly, and their true qi was frantically instilled into the barrier.
The finger of the old man in the red shirt did not use a trace of demonic power, but it was just a simple condensation of murderous aura, which was invisible, but at this moment it was condensed into a sharp killing move.
The murderous aura instantly swept through the barrier in front of everyone, and a vigorous killing intent turned into a sharp edge, and the barrier constructed by everyone together seemed to be unable to withstand this murderous aura. A small crack was cut open with murderous aura, and the sound of "click" was endless, even if everyone struggled to resist, the barrier seemed to be about to collapse.
The condensation of the murderous aura of the half-step demon king has already made it difficult for everyone to bear, and it is indeed a demon beast comparable to the Heyuan realm.
Yan Yushui mobilized the true qi of his whole body and entered it into the barrier, but at this moment, he was already clenching his teeth, his face was pale, and he was about to be unable to hold it.
"This senior, we are the disciples of the Haoyun Immortal Sect, we just happened to pass by here today, and we didn't offend the seniors, why did the seniors want to kill them!" Yan Yushui opened her mouth suddenly, and the barrier in front of her was instantly shattered as soon as the words fell, and the cold murderous aura rushed to the center of her eyebrows.
When the old man in the red shirt heard this, his face was shocked, and he restrained his murderous aura at the last moment.
Feeling the cold and murderous aura that almost touched the skin, Yan Yushui's heart fell suddenly, and he sighed heavily, as long as the old man in the red shirt stopped a moment late, I am afraid that she would have fallen by this moment.
This was almost a moment after the ghost gate was closed, and the feeling of the needles and prickly backs receded like a tide in an instant, and the group felt a chill on their backs.
The red-shirted old man looked at everyone carefully, and said suspiciously: "Why is the Haoyun Immortal Sect here, this place is very far away from your sect." ”
"This" Yan Yushui was hesitant to tell the truth.
"We came here to find a Dao material refining magic weapon, I never thought that we were unexpectedly involved in the disputes of our predecessors, and we also hope that our predecessors Haihan!" Zhao Qing suddenly answered for her, handing Yan Yushui a meaningful look.
Yan Yushui is also a thoughtful person, and he understood what Zhao Qing meant at the moment, at this moment, more is better than less, and it is the best policy to leave quickly. If this question is answered truthfully, it will definitely offend the old man, and it is better to make up a reason to get out by the way.
The red-shirted old man's eyes were clear, his mind turned, and he said faintly: "I don't want to offend Haoyun Immortal Sect, but now I want to erase the memories you have seen and heard, which is related to a secret of my clan." ”
"This" everyone hesitated, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, the old man in the red shirt's face also sank, and said coldly: "Why, you don't want to, since that's the case, then I have to keep you." With that, he smiled sadly.
A cultivator's memory is directly related to his own soul, and erasing his memory will generally damage his own soul, and even leave a wound that cannot be healed, which will greatly hinder the progress of the future path.
For everyone, the consequences are very serious, and everyone is very reluctant in their hearts, but the other party, as a half-step demon king, can't resist, which makes everyone hesitate in their hearts.
Yan Yushui frowned, his eyes flashed again and again, his expression was uncertain, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he bit his lip and raised his head slightly, and said weakly: "We are willing to be erased from our memories." After saying that, the figure staggered, and his face was as pale as paper.
This is a last resort method to save his life, but whenever there is such a chance to fight, no one will agree to such a condition in such a humiliating manner. But how big a wave can a group of Jin Dan make in the face of a half-step demon king.
"I don't want to!"
Suddenly, a categorical voice sounded, shocking everyone in the audience.
