Chapter 8: Fighting for a Chance of Life
"Natal Stars!"
At the critical moment, Jiang Jiu only had time to cast the Natal Star Defense, and the eight Great War Souls were superimposed together, fused on the Natal Star, and turned into his strongest defense now.
Poof!
However, the arrow feather was too sharp and too close.
Although Jiang Jiu moved a little distance away as fast as he could, and was guarded by the natal stars, a blood hole was still pierced in his back.
The blood hole wasn't deep, but it pierced his back by more than an inch.
The wound was located near his heart, only half an inch from it.
"It's dangerous! If it weren't for the fact that my strength had already reached the Fifth Heaven of the Transcendent Realm, and I was guarded by the natal stars, I am afraid that just now, I would have been pierced through my heart by an arrow and my body would have died! ”
Jiang Jiu's heart palpitated, and after calming down a little, boundless anger arose in his heart.
"I didn't expect the Jiang family to use a soul crossbow that could shoot a mid-stage powerhouse in the Transcendent Realm to attack me!" There was sadness in Jiang Jiu's voice.
He never thought that the family that he had worked so hard to protect would use the Jiang family's soul crossbow to protect the gate to attack him today, in order to forcibly leave him.
The Soul Crossbow is extremely powerful, and has a device that can hold soul stones.
The soul stone contains pure soul power, which is a necessary cultivation resource for martial artists who have awakened their battle spirits, and it is also the hard currency of this martial arts world.
Soul stones are divided into miscellaneous soul stones, lower-grade soul stones, medium-grade soul stones, and high-grade soul stones.
On top of the top grade, there are also extremely rare top-grade soul stones.
If the Jiang family's soul crossbow wants to be activated, all it needs is a medium-grade soul stone. However, the medium-grade soul stone is in the Jiang family, and it is already a very precious resource.
A miscellaneous soul stone is the monthly salary of the Jiang family's ordinary martial artists, and a low-grade soul stone requires a hundred miscellaneous soul stones to be exchanged.
Even if Jiang Jiu is the young master of the Jiang family, he only has ten low-grade soul stones in January.
A medium-grade soul stone requires a full hundred lower-grade soul stones to be exchanged.
In other words, a medium-grade soul stone requires a full 10,000 miscellaneous soul stones to exchange.
Even with the Jiang family's hundreds of years of inheritance, there are only three low-grade low-grade soul crossbows, and once used, a full three medium-grade soul stones are needed as energy sources.
When the soul crossbow is used, it only needs to be loaded with enough soul stones to exert terrifying power.
Unexpectedly, this time, in order to prevent Jiang Jiu from leaving, the Jiang family even used this kind of background.
"Consuming a full three hundred lower-grade soul stones at a time, the Jiang family is really willing to do it!"
Before Jiang Jiu could finish sighing, he suddenly felt a strong life-and-death crisis approaching from two directions.
The Jiang family's two soul crossbows were activated at the same time, with terrifying power, in an instant.
Obviously, the person who secretly controlled the soul crossbow didn't want to give Jiang Jiu a chance to resist at all, this was to take the opportunity to hit him hard and forcibly leave him behind.
"Bad ......"
Jiang Jiu's face changed drastically, and he felt a mortal threat.
The natal star and the eight war spirits opened their defenses as soon as possible, and his body suddenly shortened and fell to the ground.
Puff puff!
The two soul arrows missed, but they also grazed Jiang Jiu's skin, leaving two hideous scratches on his back, and the scarlet blood with a stinging pain made Jiang Jiu extremely conscious.
"Jiang Family...... You forced me to do this! If you want to put me to death, then I won't make it easy for you! ”
Jiang Jiu took a deep breath, glanced at the Jiang family with a strong hatred in his eyes, and immediately took advantage of the gap between the brewing soul crossbow to exert the fastest speed and escape from the Jiang family.
"Oh no, he ran away!"
The deacon, who was in charge of the management of the soul crossbow, had gray hair, and his voice was old, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
He never thought that Jiang Jiu would be able to escape under such a terrifying attack.
"Deacon Yang, how should we explain to the parents?"
"No matter, even three soul crossbows can't kill him, we've done our best!"
"Quickly inform the head of the house!"
"Yes!"
Looking at Jiang Jiu's fleeing back, for some reason, Deacon Yang felt inexplicably strong uneasiness in his heart.
He knew that if the Jiang family treated Jiang Jiu like this, Jiang Jiu would definitely not give up.
I can't keep him today, and when he returns in the future, I'm afraid that the Jiang family will be bloody and bloody, and even bloody.
"Hey, maybe the head of the family and the elders of the Supreme ...... Wrong! ”
Deacon Yang muttered to himself in his heart, and a deep complexity flashed in his eyes.
At this moment he felt a little tired, so much so that he didn't want to think about it.
On the other side, Jiang Jiu went straight to the back mountain of Jiang's house, which was a primeval forest, and it was a forested mountain that stretched for dozens of miles.
At the end of this mountain, it is connected to the ancient forest.
The Barbarian Ancient Forest is the hole card of the demon beast, and when it gets there, even the human powerhouse does not dare to be too presumptuous.
"As long as I enter the Mangu Forest, the Jiang family will no longer be a threat."
Jiang Jiu had perseverance in his eyes, the Barbarian Ancient Forest was a dangerous place for any martial artist or monk, but for him at this time, it was relatively safer.
Although the Jiang family is not weak, in front of the countless demon beasts in the vast and endless forest of the Barbarian Ancient Forest, it is as small as gravel, and it is nothing at all.
As long as Jiang Jiu entered the Barbarian Ancient Forest, the threat of the Jiang family could be ignored.
At this time, the night had gradually darkened, and the darkness gradually enveloped the whole land, and the vast mountains were like a prostrate beast of wild wilderness, and in the forest, there was a dangerous atmosphere.
As the night deepened, the forest began to become noisy.
Every now and then, the roar of an unknown beast echoes through the forest.
In the night, the second elder of the Jiang family and the two elders of the Jiang family chased and killed all the way.
On the other side, there seemed to be people in two more directions who had alarmed the beasts of the forest.
"Something is wrong, the person chasing Jiang Jiu should not only be us!" There was a bad premonition in the eyes of the second elder of the Jiang family.
"Could it be the people of the Bloody Demon Sect and the Lin family?" An elder said solemnly.
"It's better for us to be careful, the Lin family and the Bloody Sect, our Jiang family can't afford to mess with it!" Another elder also spoke.
"The secret of Jiang Jiu's body is extremely important to my Jiang family, even if it is the Blood Demon Sect and the Lin family...... We must also take it upon ourselves! The Second Elder Taishang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In this way, let's do a good job of disguise, this is the black mask that the head of the family prepared for us." ”
"As long as you don't reveal your identity, even if you kill the people of the two of them, it won't have much impact!"
The second elder Taishang said, took out three sets of clothes from the storage bag, and gave one set to each of the two elders.
The three of them did a good job of camouflage, and the speed was obviously much faster.
"Damn, these people are really haunted, it seems that I can't sit still!" Jiang Jiu heard the frightened voice of the beast behind him getting closer and closer, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He stopped suddenly, and while his eyes flashed with cruelty, he found a relatively hidden place, preparing to use the cover of night to carry out a sneak attack.
Not far in front of him was the deepest part of the forest.
Legend has it that there is a terrifying beast inhabiting there.
That fierce beast was rumored to have the strength of the half-step sea realm, and Jiang Jiu knew that he couldn't move forward rashly anymore.
He had to fight for a glimmer of life for himself.
