In the middle-aged man's hand, at some point, there was already a pair of scimitars less than two feet long, and with a wave of the knife in his left hand, the long sword that shot out with a bang.

The man with the sword on his back felt a flower in front of him, and the divine consciousness that was firmly locked on the other party almost failed to react, and the middle-aged man had already crossed the distance of seven or eight steps and came to his own approach!

Brush!

A flash of sword light swept by.

The body shield of the man with the sword on his back was easily cut like a piece of paper, and it was quietly shattered.

The next moment, the middle-aged man was already standing three feet behind the man with the sword on his back, and inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard hidden behind him.

A thought suddenly surged in the heart of the man with the sword on his back: "It's not good, he's a grandmaster......"

It was also his last thought.

After this thought, the head of the man with the sword on his back tilted and rolled down to the cold ground, but his eyes were still open, staring blankly at the mud in the corner of the wall, and his eyes gradually lost their lustre.

The middle-aged man bent down and took off the storage ring and the scabbard behind the sword, and picked up the ownerless long sword. Before leaving, I didn't forget to glance at the head in the corner: "In the middle of foundation building, hehe......"

Maybe it's because the "Heavenly and Human Sympathetic Sword Technique" is too tempting, almost everyone who wants to get it is trying to search for its traces, and in the process of searching, they don't forget to eliminate every potential opponent they encounter that can be eradicated in advance before the sword trick is born. As the rumored date of the sword trick became closer, similar firefights and battles became more and more frequent in Dongsheng City......

————

A cold full moon hung quietly in the treetops, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the earth, adding a chill to the quiet night.

In some corners of Dongsheng City, there is still the sound of weapons colliding.

There is even the occasional roar and the collapse of a house that has been forcibly covered by a spell.

After a few days of chaos, the City Lord's Mansion, which was supposed to come forward to maintain order, was like a blind and deaf person, and did not make a single voice of his own, which gradually made the cultivators in the city become more and more bold, and even broke out in the north of the city with the participation of more than 20 Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and half of the buildings in the street were smashed into ruins.

These days, Qiao Qiandui of the Iron Sword Sect had a gloomy face almost all the time, and even in the middle of the night when the full moon was full, he was still reprimanding the pair of disciples who were kneeling in front of him.

"You two useless things! Let you go out to find the news of the sword technique, not let you go to fight with Yunzhong Mansion! Qiao Qianhui pointed to the nose of one of them, his beard trembling with anger, "You don't look at the strength of the other side, you say that you will do it, and now you have lost seven or eight disciples, are you satisfied?!" ”

"Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong!"

"Now it's a fart to know that you're wrong! When you return to the sect, you will think about the cliff for three years, do you hear?! ”

"Yes, master......"

And at about the same time.

In the Miaoyin Workshop in the north of the city, Wu Shilan, the head of Yunzhong Mansion, and two middle-aged men with a bright look were gathering together to discuss something, and from time to time they would burst into laughter.

The other side.

In a secret room in the Baotong Pavilion, three men dressed in black formed a circle, staring closely at a fist-sized crystal stone in the middle, as if they were afraid of missing something.

The crystal stone was suspended a few feet above the ground, and below it was a red circle about a foot in diameter, which was humming in bursts.

Countless strange runes of different shapes rose from the circle from time to time, swirling and dancing before sinking into the crystal stones above.

Gradually, the transparent crystal stone was dyed with a layer of red, and it trembled rapidly in the air.

Click, click......

Suddenly, several cracks appeared on the crystal stone, and then, I saw more and more cracks, bigger and bigger, and after a few breaths, the whole crystal stone was already covered with fine cracks, and then suddenly shattered into a ball of powder with a bang!

On the magic circle below, a red pillar of light immediately rose, and in an instant, the entire secret room was illuminated red, and the powder was all shrouded in the pillar of light.

In that pillar of light, the powder turned by the crystal stone automatically rose into the air without wind, and in a short time, it was arranged into a column of words in the pillar of light - the earth dragon turned over, and the heavenly sword appeared.

After three breaths, the pillar of light seemed to run out of energy, and it was extinguished in an instant, and only the dim candlelight remained in the entire secret room.

The eight characters also lost their support, and fell to the ground with a thud, like a handful of white sand.

The three men looked away from the powder that had fallen on the ground and glanced at each other, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a mustache, asked, "Shiqiao, is this thing accurate?" As far as I know, there hasn't been an earthquake in Dongsheng City for hundreds of years. ”

The one called Shiqiao was an old man with a bare face and long beard, and when he saw his companion asking him like this, his face showed a slight displeasure, and he replied in a deep voice: "This thing is made by the predecessors of Tianjizi himself, and I spent thousands of high-grade spirit stones to ask for it, how can it be wrong!" ”

Another person next to him spoke: "I suddenly feel that we have miscalculated something, and we should calculate how to get that sword trick......

"You're thinking too much, aren't you?" Hearing this, Ishibashi glared at the man and said, "This is only for divination, not for cheating." If anything can be used to calculate, I'm afraid that Tianjizi would have ruled the Ten Directions Realm a long time ago. ”

The middle-aged man with the beard spoke again: "Then we can only wait?" ”

"Yes, wait!" Shiqiao nodded, and was about to say something more, but suddenly felt a tremor under his feet, and in the corner of his eye, it seemed that the corner of the secret room suddenly distorted and deformed......

Rumble...... A muffled sound came from the depths of the earth.

In the inn, Qu Wuming was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

These days, the order in the city has become more and more chaotic, and Qu Wuming has also quietly gone out a few times in the night, originally wanting to hide and find out some news and come back, but he has fought with several groups of people one after another, including ordinary martial artists, and some cultivators who want to play Qu Wuming's idea.

Although most of them are small characters who are not long-sighted, and even some people are very arrogant if they are not strong, Qu Wuming just knocked them all unconscious, and did not kill more for no reason.

Although he was not harmed, in order to avoid attracting people he couldn't deal with, Qu Wuming no longer wanted to continue going out.

It's just that Qu Wuming at this moment feels a little uneasy inexplicably, and always feels as if something big is going to happen.

Qu Wuming has always trusted his instincts.

Since he couldn't settle down, Qu Wuming simply got out of bed and walked to the window.

Pushing open the window, the fresh night breeze was blowing in his face, Qu Wuming couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his chest suddenly felt much more relaxed. In the moonlight outside the window, there was no figure on the cold long street, and as far as the eye could see, you could vaguely see the long city wall in the distance and the silhouette-like mountains outside the city.

Although it was late at night, there was still the sound of chickens and dogs barking.

After quietly looking out of the window for a while, Qu Wuming's brows gradually furrowed, and finally realized that something was wrong - yes, in such a quiet night, why are there chickens and dogs barking?!

Suddenly, there seemed to be light in the mountains outside the city, which had been somewhat vague.

"That's? ......" Qu Wuming looked into the distance, and couldn't see clearly, only felt that the light came strangely, as if there was no separate light source, but as if there was a faint light in an extremely wide range, and it actually compared the bright moonlight.

"It's not !! good" Qu Wuming was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, knowing what this suddenly lit up earth light meant! Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, there was a rumbling sound under his feet, and the ground of the inn seemed to suddenly become a bumpy wok, Qu Wuming was instantly turned upside down and unstable, and the furniture in the room was even more jumping up and down, and there was a chaotic sound, and then the whole room began to shake violently back and forth again!

Click, click......

Several huge cracks appeared in the wall, and the cabinets in the house collapsed, and the floor of the roof began to fall with a clatter. Looking out the window, the buildings in the city began to collapse in a violent shaking, and clouds of smoke and dust rose in the city, and the sound of screams, shouts, and running came and went.

Thundered...... Another loud bang came, and the solid and smooth city wall in the distance also shattered violently, collapsing most of it, and setting off an even bigger cloud of dust and smoke!

Qu Wuming couldn't take care of it at the moment, he had already turned over and jumped out of the window, and before the inn collapsed, he climbed out of Lin Wanqing's window three times and two times, smashed the window with one palm and jumped in.

Lin Wanqing was also woken up just now, wearing a pale pink obscene dress, she had just opened the bed curtain and wanted to get out of bed, but when she heard a click, a figure jumped in from the window, and she couldn't help but be startled, and pulled out the long sword pressed under the pillow.

"It's me! It's an earthquake, grab your clothes and come with me! Qu Wuming had no intention of looking at Lin Wanqing's bumpy figure under his obscene clothes at the moment, and took two steps forward to grab the burden that Lin Wanqing hung on the wall in his hand, and grabbed Lin Wanqing's wrist with the other hand.

Lin Wanqing returned his hand and inserted the long sword into the sheath, and with a flip of his wrist, the scabbard had already picked up the coat that had been folded aside, and then grabbed the coat in his hand as soon as he reached out, and then hurriedly jumped out of the window with Qu Wuming.

The two of them had just landed, only to hear a loud rumbling sound behind them, and the inn on the third floor had collapsed half of it in a cloud of dust and smoke.

"It's not good, Second Uncle Liu!" Lin Wanqing wanted to turn around, but the ground under her feet was still shaking violently, making it impossible for people to stand firm at all, and even Qu Wuming on the side was shaken and sat on the ground.

Lin Wanqing stood unsteadily, her body was crooked, and she happened to fall into Qu Wuming's arms, and she couldn't help but cry out "ah". But before she could struggle, Qu Wuming suddenly hugged her tightly, turned over suddenly, and pressed her under him.

"Brother Qu, ......" Lin Wanqing's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and before the words in her mouth were finished, she suddenly noticed a loud shock coming from Qu Wuming's body, and hurriedly looked up behind Qu Wuming.

It turned out that it was a thick pillar in the inn that fell from half of the ruins, if Qu Wuming hadn't discovered it in time and switched the two places, it would have been Lin Wanqing who hit this column.

"Brother Qu!" Lin Wanqing saw that the pillar was so thick that it smashed on Qu Wuming's back, and couldn't help but be frightened, for fear that Qu Wuming would be injured, but seeing that Qu Wuming was fine, she smiled at herself as if she was fine, her arms slammed on the ground, and she arched hard behind her back, and then flew out upside down and landed on the side.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, you have to wait for the earthquake to save people! Qu Wuming shook his fist suddenly, blasted a smashed tile out again, and then pulled Lin Wanqing and retreated into a clearing.

At this time, there were also many people in the inn who struggled out of the ruins with a disgraced face, including Liu Kui of the Fuwei Dart Bureau and two dart masters who were quite good, as well as several Jianghu warriors who lived in a few days ago.

Everyone's faces are not good-looking, and some people have colors on them. Seeing that Lin Wan escaped early in the morning, the look on Liu Kui's face relaxed, and he guessed that it must be Qu Wuming who came to the rescue, and couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Qu Wuming.

Qu Wuming nodded at him and turned his head to look into the distance.

By this time, the tremors under his feet had gradually subsided. I saw that in the huge Dongsheng City, there were almost no intact buildings, and there were countless fires burning in the ruins at night, and the people who escaped by luck shouted the names of their relatives and looked for the trapped people in the ruins. The forbidden space circle and the forbidden city protection in the city have all been invalidated at this moment, and the cultivators who have not been injured no longer care about the rules of not casting spells in front of ordinary people, and are flying in the air above the ruins, or casting spells to extinguish the flames, or helping to clean up the ruins to find survivors.

Qu Wuming sighed and retracted his gaze, and walked towards the ruins of the inn with Liu Kui, Lin Wanqing and other people who had escaped, and in a short time two or three injured survivors were dug up.

Qu Wuming struggled to lift a broken wall, Liu Kui hurriedly stepped forward and dragged out a person from under the broken wall, but unfortunately the person was seriously injured and was dying. Qu Wuming was just about to put down the broken wall gently, when there was a sudden huge tremor under his feet, and then, there was a loud rumbling sound in the mountains in the distance!

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, but saw that among the mountains in the distance, there was a steep mountain peak that was collapsing, and among the constantly crumbling rocks, there was a white sword shadow rising into the sky, reaching into the sky......
