At the moment of life and death, this middle-aged man immediately vibrated the mana in his body towards his body.

However, a short sword slashed through his mana with great ease, and the bright blade of the sword pierced into his back.

However, fortunately, under the previous mana shock, the aim of the short sword was slightly offset, and it failed to directly pierce the heart of the middle-aged man.

"Poof!"

Zhou Lianying struck a successful blow, and immediately drew her sword and retreated, which can be described as extremely decisive.

After all, no matter what, he is also a disciple of the Great Gate Sect, and he is not a stupid person, so naturally there will be no greed for merit.

Sure enough, when the woman retreated, the middle-aged man immediately let out an angry roar, and shot several aura-filled talismans in front of him with one hand, and spurted violent mana with the other, slamming towards him.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Lianying hurriedly put the short sword in her hand in front of her, and with the sword body of the special rune appearing, she slashed through the violent mana that roared in front of her, and at the same time retreated as quickly as possible.

At this moment, instead of showing any nervousness on her face, she also showed a touch of joy, and her eyes were even brighter.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but before he could react, a touch of water immediately appeared in the corner of his eye.

In his sight, a companion looked anxious and was about to open his mouth to call, when a series of explosions rang out.

This person hurriedly turned his head to look, and then saw that in the air in front of him, several talismans were exploded by the remnants of the Dao, and the spiritual power in them immediately poured out, blooming like a round of small suns.

And under the flickering spiritual light, a whip shadow had broken through the air in front of him, and the pale blue afterimage flashed, when even a crisp sound came out.

The shouts of his companions finally sounded, and the middle-aged man felt a hot pain in his chest, and a majestic mana burst burst out at the same time.

At the moment when his body was thrown out, his gaze passed through the light blue whip body, several bursts of aura, and the stumps and broken leaves in the sky, and finally landed on a young man wearing a Taoist robe.

It's just that before any thoughts arise in his heart, all the vitality in his body has been cut off.

Bang!

After a few breaths, the body of the middle-aged man fell to the ground, and was blown seven or eight feet away by a blow, the vitality in his body had been completely cut off, and the mana that had been cultivated for decades was also quietly dispersed to the heavens and the earth at this moment.

Ji Yuan's eyes froze, and then he turned his wrist, and under the infusion of mana, he transformed into a whip body more than ten zhang long, and suddenly it was like lightning, and it swept with the remnants of the Dao.

A Yuanchen whip, at this time, was as agile as a spirit snake, and it flew through the air quickly, but it only took a dozen breaths, and it pierced the chests of the two late-stage monks of the Enlightenment Realm, and the mana in it was only a shock, and the vitality of the two was cut off.

Then he looked into the distance, the last of the four, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he turned around immediately, and he was about to flee quickly.

But how could Ji Yuan let this person go, although there was no grudge between the two sides, but since he had done it, it was impossible to leave hidden dangers, even if he was just a minor monk in the middle of the Enlightenment Realm.

So he just thought about it, and then a sword qi shot out from his eyebrows, and after a few flashes, it penetrated the back of the man's heart, cutting off all the vitality in his body.

After putting away the Yuanchen whip and wrapping it around his waist, he jumped off the giant tree in his body and walked slowly towards the girl a few feet away.

As for the few corpses around, they never looked at them again, whether it was a monk or a martial artist, after stepping on this road, they must always be ready to be killed.

Even if there is no grudge between the two parties, they should never be soft when it is time to do it, otherwise it will be a trouble for themselves or their relatives and friends.

However, making an unprovoked attack and killing a few monks who had nothing to do with him still made some waves rise in Ji Yuan's heart, and a little displeasure couldn't help but appear on his face.

Zhou Lianying put away the short sword in her hand, and after glancing at Ji Yuan who was coming, she trotted

came to the side of the few people who were killed, and the action was a little stiff to collect the belongings of the people.

It can be seen that she should have rarely done this kind of thing in the past, or even almost never done it, just a trip to the underground dojo, which made her learn a lot of things.

And after looting the property, she didn't take anything, and held it all in front of Ji Yuan, with a smug smile on her face.

This made his anger dissipate a lot, and he couldn't say some words of accountability, so he had no choice but to ask, "Why did you end up here?"

It stands to reason that the other party should have returned to the Jiuxuanmen air warship with Zhao Yuansong and the others, and no matter what happened, the best choice for him was to return to the division immediately.

Unless something happened in the process, he had to stay in the underground dojo, but with the other party's cultivation, it was difficult to survive for several months when he was alone.

If he really had this ability, he would not have been held hostage by the four mountain cultivators before, and he was forced to follow him.

"After parting with you that day, we headed for the people of the Nine Xuanmen."

Zhou Lianying smiled bitterly and slowly explained the original situation.

At that time, the minds of all the Demon Dao monks were all on Tianjiao of the Nine Xuanmen, plus the elders of the Three Realms gradually gained an advantage, and even killed two Demon Dao monks in the same realm.

It is precisely because of this that when they fled, several people did not encounter pursuit, and they escaped safely for nearly 100 miles.

It's just that their luck seems to have run out at this time, and a few people have just been repairing for two days, and when they are about to get up and go on the road to the location of the air crossing warship of Jiuxuanmen, they accidentally encounter the disciples of Mochizuki Gate.

The enmity between the two sects has long been so deep that it is irresolvable, and after the two sides meet, it is inevitable that they will fight, and Li Buwei and Zhou Lianying also have to help Zhao Yuansong and others against the enemy.

And after a fight, a group of people couldn't help but be dispersed, so she had to follow Li Buwei and wander aimlessly in the underground dojo.

Maybe it's because of Ji Yuan, or maybe it's because Li Buwei thinks of a little friendship, although he has encountered many monks along the way, and even encountered danger several times, this person has not been left behind by Zhou Lianying.

Even in the course of these months, the two have explored several caves together, and the gains are really not small.

The short sword in her hand that can cut through mana was obtained from one of the caves, and it was a magic weapon in extremely good condition, and its own material was no longer ordinary, and it contained five acquired prohibitions.

"However, half a month ago, we still encountered a group of demonic monks, and we managed to escape, but we got separated on the way to be pursued."

Zhou Lianying sighed, she was also separated from Li Buwei, and the four Shan Zeye Xiu she had just met were forced to join the other party's team.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan also felt a little emotion in his heart, the experience of these two people was also very tortuous, and there were no dangers along the way, whether it was the disciple of the Moon Gate, or the demon monk he encountered, as well as the exploration of several caves.

Although they both encountered great danger, the two of them did not suffer any damage, but only consumed some of the reserves on their bodies, but they also gained a lot of things.

"Why don't you return to the sect?"

He put away the emotion in his heart and looked at the person in front of him with a slight gaze.

A look of helplessness suddenly appeared in Zhou Lianying's eyes, whenever she had the idea of returning to the sect, and even when Li Buwei was planning to give her a ride, the two would always encounter some accidents.

Either they are forced to break into a cave or ruin, or they will encounter monks with bad intentions, so that they can only circle within a radius of hundreds of miles.

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan's brows suddenly furrowed, and a touch of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

He had previously felt that there seemed to be something between him and Zhou Lianying, and after listening to what the place said, he felt that something was affecting the two of them.

It's just when he feels like he's about to catch something

, but it seems that there is a fog in front of you, making it impossible to see through and see through.

"Let's get out of here first."

Ji Yuan sighed, and planned to leave with Zhou Lianying.

Although the previous battle was short, he quickly killed four monks, but it still caused a lot of fluctuations, and it was difficult to guarantee that no monks around him would notice.

The so-called chance in this environment is not only the legacy of the predecessor, but also the spiritual objects that grow and nurture between heaven and earth, as well as the net worth accumulated by other monks for a lifetime.

There is always a group of monks, exploring the caves and ruins is just incidental, but if they feel the slightest fluctuation, they will rush to the speed of chasing and kill other monks to enrich their own pockets.

However, as soon as Ji Yuan took a few steps, he couldn't help but listen, turned around and looked at it with a puzzled face, and then saw the other party standing still in place.

"This...... You put it away first......

Zhou Lianying muttered in a low voice, her eyes looking a little erratic.

The woman was careful, she naturally noticed it, and she was unhappy with the aspect at the beginning, and she could only think of what it was.

Maybe those four people were evil people with bad intentions to her, but they had nothing to do with Ji Yuan, and they didn't have any grudges, and although the monks were fighting with each other.

But anyone who kills a stranger for no reason will never feel comfortable in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan was a little silent, and after a long time, he shook his head slightly, and received the property in the other party's hand into the jade wrench.

In fact, there are not many things, a few unqualified talismans, two or three bottles of elixirs to restore mana and injuries, as well as some scattered silver and small silver tickets.

It's just that according to Ji Yuan's character, no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, if it is not a major event between life and death, otherwise it will definitely be impossible to let it go.

The reason why he didn't take it was actually because he was still holding back a bit of anger in his heart, although it was not big, he still felt a little uncomfortable, and he kept letting the other party hold it without taking it, which was also a little temper of his own.

And Zhou Lianying obviously understood in her heart, so she stood there and didn't move, hoping that the other party could put it away.

Seeing this at this time, she immediately smiled, knowing that once the young man in front of her put away his things, although there would still be some unhappiness in his heart, the matter in front of her would be over after all.

"If you use your ingenuity elsewhere, you won't be coerced."

Ji Yuan said angrily, and at the same time turned around and walked into the distance.

Hearing this, Zhou Lianying didn't refute anything, and followed behind her with a happy smile.

The distance between the two of them became closer and closer unconsciously, almost sticking together, and on their bodies, there seemed to be a thick red thread, quietly entwined together.
