"Douqi Armor!" Ling Yun's expression froze, and he immediately took the middle-aged man's energy armor that appeared outside his body into his eyes.

As long as people with a little common sense know, in this continent, the strong people who can condense armor with their fighting spirit to offset the damage are all strong people above the second-order sword master......

I didn't expect that I hadn't seen a sword master for so many years, but when I saw it today, it turned out to be a second-order existence, this kind of cultivation, looking at the entire Purple Cloud Empire, the only one who could defeat him was the chief sword master who couldn't live deeply.

The middle-aged man left the fallen battleship far away, put down the girl whose fear had not yet receded, and then let out a long sigh, and slowly set his eyes on Ling Yun, who was not far from them.

The "Second Order Sword Master ......" battleship was also seen, and people were obviously not very kind to him, Ling Yun was no longer bored with himself, he pulled a sword flower, and with a light body, the whole person floated towards the woods behind him without any strength.

His sudden appearance of the elegant body made the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly light up, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency the young sword master, please stay." ”

Ling Yun paused slightly, there was no one around, obviously calling himself. His current cultivation in the innate realm has communicated with the bridge between heaven and earth, and in terms of cultivation, he is indeed not under the sword master. If you talk about the mystery and sharpness of the Xuanjian Qi on the Ninety-Nine, even if you are a second-order sword master, you still have the confidence to fight with it.

He turned around and waited for the middle-aged man's next words.

"Your Excellency Swordsman, you must have seen the accident in front of you, while flying through the forest, we accidentally encountered an attack by a mutated demonic beast, causing the battleship to crash. It is really our misfortune that this kind of accident happened. At present, I have suffered a certain amount of internal injuries, and if I encounter any more dangers, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to protect my young lady alone, so I want to hire you to protect the two of us from this forest and reach the capital of the Purple Cloud Empire. I don't know ......."

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this task is not up to the task. Ling Yun shook his head, turned around and left.

The middle-aged man paused slightly, not wanting him to refuse so simply. But he still didn't give up and said, "Please slow. If you have any conditions, we can discuss them slowly. I am the guard of the Mo family, one of the four major families of the fourth-level civilization Sky Empire, and this is the seventh miss of our Mo family, if you are willing to help protect the seventh miss to reach the royal capital of the Purple Cloud Empire safely, our Mo family will definitely help you fulfill your wishes as much as possible. ”

"Fourth-level civilization Sky Empire. With this identity, Ling Yun was not surprised.

Although the difference between the fourth-level civilization and the third-level civilization is only one level, it represents the harsh watershed between the middle civilization and the low civilization. The biggest difference between them is air power. Only the fourth-level civilization is eligible for the Divine Merit with a higher level than the Honorary Merit, and only the Divine Merit can purchase a patrol battleship with air supremacy capabilities.

"The favor owed by a fourth-level civilized powerful family is indeed a very tempting condition. ”

The middle-aged man smiled confidently, he believed that a person from any third-level civilized country would not easily refuse the chips he offered, even if the other party had reached the realm of a sword master.

"I'm afraid you're not more than thirty years old, judging from the speed you just showed, I'm afraid you have the strength to be no less than a full-fledged swordsman. Such a young sword master, if Your Excellency does not give up, you can join our Mo family, with our family's various exquisite exercises and elixirs, even if you are successfully promoted to a third-order, or even a fourth-order great sword master, it is not impossible. ”

Ling Yun nodded: "Joining a powerful family of the fourth-level empire is indeed promising, but ...... I'm used to living a free life, I don't want to be constrained, I don't want to get involved in anything, so we appreciate your kindness. ”

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but he was not too disappointed. After all, a real official sword master, how can it be so easy to recruit? Otherwise, their Mo family's sword master would not have broken through double digits for so many years.

At this time, the girl behind the middle-aged man seemed to have recovered from the fright just now, and when she heard that Ling Yun actually dared to refuse the Mo family's invitation, the eldest lady's temper suddenly came up again, and she said as if she was instructing her subordinates: "Hmph, I can't help you refuse." Our Mo family can afford you, it is your blessing. Immediately go make a stretcher and carry Miss Ben to Yanjing in the Purple Cloud Empire. ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, this seventh lady is usually arrogant, and now she doesn't look at what place this is, and she still plays with the eldest lady's temper. Judging from the surname of the young man in front of him, I am afraid that the matter of inviting this bodyguard is no fun.

Ling Yun shrugged his shoulders, smiled slightly, his figure flashed, and disappeared into the woods.

He was a little interested in a second-order sword master, but it was a waste of time to talk to this kind of eldest lady with the surname Ren.

"You...... A citizen of a small third-level empire dared to disobey Miss Ben's orders. The girl looked angry, looked at Ling Yun who had disappeared without a trace, and immediately ordered: "Uncle Morey, I will arrest him back and break his body to pieces!" The extremely natural tone of her voice seemed to be a very normal thing to kill a person.

Although Morey was a little angry with his own young lady, after all, he was the object of his allegiance, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to remind: "Miss, are you sure that you want me to go after him? The other party is an official swordsman, and if there is no good reason, even if we catch him, we can't kill him." ”

The girl was about to angrily order him to take Ling Yun's life, but looking at the dark night around her, listening to the beast roars coming from all directions from time to time, her little face couldn't help but turn a little whiter.

"I ...... Let's get out of here first, go to a safe place, and then ask the Emperor of the Purple Cloud Empire to take care of this guy who doesn't know what to do......

Mo Lei sighed lightly, if it was a swordsman, in order to please their Mo family, the emperor of the Purple Cloud Empire would definitely not hesitate. But a full-fledged sword master, let alone a third-level empire, is also a valuable asset for a fourth-level empire.

......

After resting for one night and walking for half a day, the dense woods have disappeared, and some sparse trees stand among the mountains on the road. Looking to both sides, there are villages of different sizes from time to time, and they appear in the field of vision, and a simple villager is working hard in the fields.

Looking up into the distance, there seems to be a dark shadow in the sky, towering into the clouds, faintly appearing at the end of the line of sight, like a huge stone pillar supporting heaven and earth, shocking people's hearts. It wasn't until he walked for a while that Ling Yun could see clearly that it was actually a huge temple that was thousands of meters high.

I can't see the magnificent city wall of the royal capital, its huge figure, has been clearly displayed in front of everyone, the majestic body, like a god standing up to the sky, looking down on the land where tens of millions of people live.

Seeing such a huge super-era building suddenly appear in an imperial world, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart: "It's really worthy of the handiwork of the gods." Such a huge building, placed on the earth, I am afraid that only those provincial capital-level cities can exist. However, this temple is much more magnificent than the so-called high-rise buildings. ”

At the top of the temple, the huge gem that shone with brilliant light was like a second sun in the void, releasing a terrifying wave that shocked people's hearts. Streams of energy elements so thick that they were almost visible to the naked eye were drawn by the power of the huge gem and poured into it, providing a huge amount of energy that made the entire temple work. Without witnessing this miraculous structure, I couldn't believe that the power of the gods was so vast and profound.

Ling Yun inexplicably had a trace of doubt in his heart: "If you let the earth's technological civilization fight with the divine civilization of this planet...... Who is strong and who is weak......"

At present, what he saw was only a third-level civilization empire, and a third-level civilization country could already have such a terrifying and huge temple, what about the fifth- and sixth-level civilization empires, and the peak that represented the entire planet - seventh- and eighth-level imperial civilizations!

If it weren't for the huge size of this planet, which limited them from developing cosmic civilizations outward, otherwise, those colonies of seventh- and eighth-level empires would have spread all over the area of almost half of the galaxy?

Thinking of this, Ling Yun finally put away his contempt for the imperial civilization of this continent in his heart.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and an astonishing thought suddenly came to him: "The Dou Qi civilization of this planet has developed to such an extent, and individual cultivation has also spread to every civilian, so how are their masters using energy? Do those seventh-order, or even eighth-order, and ninth-order sword masters have anything in common with the Ninety-Nine Upper Xuan Sword Qi that I have learned? Do their cultivation notes help me condense my sword soul?"

When cultivating to the highest level, what everyone pursues is not an immortal legend that transcends the nature of heaven and earth. It's just that the path taken when pursuing the process is different. Although the process is different, as long as the purpose is the same, there is always a common ground to be found in it.

Thinking of this, an impulse arose in Ling Yun's flat heart to challenge the eight great sword masters of the Purple Cloud Empire.
