Chapter 23: Rebirth
The old woman's expectant gaze appeared before her in a trance, and cloudy tears flowed through the folds of her face and fell on her hands.
Cold...... Broken......
Zhang Zheng's heart trembled, and his unsteady hand unconsciously stretched out, stretching out to the blood-mist-filled sky. She felt the cold, warm touch on her face, and tears could no longer be controlled.
She...... She killed everyone.
The black clouds in the air turned ink, red and wept blood, rolling like big waves and tides, rolling and roaring.
Boom –
The black cloud turned into a long black dragon, black smoke steaming all over his body, and the dark red blood mist locked on Zhang Zheng.
"Ahh
A terrible scream came from Zhang Zheng's throat, and the black dragon's long tail slammed anxiously, swooping down, squeezing Zhang Zheng's body without stopping.
The black smoke entrenched in the dantian seemed to be suddenly encouraged, and he opened his teeth and danced his claws, and went straight to the Jingze Tree, which had been coveted for a long time.
The Pure Tree, like emerald green jasper, remained unmoved, engulfed by black smoke.
Zhang Zheng's consciousness seemed to be rushed out of his body, and in his hazy vision, he saw that his body was entrenched by a dragon, and the dragon's head burrowed into his body from his abdomen and buried deep in the dantian. The scene is horrible.
Consciousness is becoming trance-like, the green branches of the Pure Tree are getting darker and darker, and the black smoke clinging to it is insatiable, constantly devouring the life above it.
The Pure Ze Tree couldn't resist this strange black qi, and the multicolored spirit roots suspended under it were already completely gray, and the cracks were crawling.
Is she going to die?
The thought of death gradually took over Zhang Zheng's consciousness, and as the intent of death gradually took over, the residual vitality in her body began to quickly decay and collapse.
Her whole body aura had been devoured, and her faint spirit was floating without a refuge, and she was extremely weak.
The aura of the storage bag was swallowed up by the black smoke and emptied, and it lost its divine sense imprint, and fell to the ground, completely reduced to an ordinary cloth bag.
The dead spirit grass and replica jade slips piled up into a hill inside all fell out, mixed with some miscellaneous talismans and other things, rolling down the dust and mud.
A wisp of black smoke erupted from the black dragon's body, turning into a small snake and rolling towards the scattered items in the storage bag.
Whatever has a little aura, swallow it all, and don't let go of it at all. The jade slips, talismans, and demon beast materials that are high on the hill, so much so that the dagger turned into dust in a breath and annihilated the sky.
At the moment when the black smoke devoured the spirit grass, a bit of pure vitality drilled out of the spirit grass, avoiding the fierce black smoke, and shot into Zhang Zheng's eyebrows at an extremely fast speed.
She is not reconciled, she is not willing to die!
Consciousness suddenly became clear, and Zhang Zheng mobilized all his divine consciousness to neutralize the essence of rebirth.
There was no longer the slightest aura in her body, and the Neutralization Transformation Technique was running wildly, and the Seven Orifices of her body, the dantian, and the divine mansion were ...... Small whirlpools are created out of thin air, like mysterious nebulae.
The dim and dull Jingze tree suddenly emitted a brilliant glow, and the whole branch broke more than ten pieces, broke free, broke free from the black smoke like maggots on the tarsal bones, rushed towards all parts of the body, and quickly disappeared into the small whirlpool that had just been born.
The delicious food in his hand escaped, and the black smoke began to gnaw around his body like a madman.
As if the severe pain of ten thousand ants devouring his heart, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but let out a miserable muffled snort, but he didn't dare to stop at all.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Zheng only felt that his consciousness was chaotic and godless, and he couldn't feel the sun and moon, as if it was a moment and a thousand years.
Her visceral bones seemed to have been eaten away by black smoke, and she was now like a remnant of a human skin shell, without flesh and blood, empty inside.
She couldn't open her eyes, because they were gone, and she could only see nine whirlpools in the hollow body.
Rise from the ashes.
It was during this time that she finally realized this truth.
She took the initiative to swallow the black dragon into her body, took the initiative to cut off her divine sense, and lured the black smoke into the whirlpool with her divine sense, watching the black smoke be swallowed without resistance, and the dead soul rekindled the fire, giving rise to a glimmer of hope.
The sun and the moon alternate in a hurry, and the years are unknown.
The last wisps of black smoke disappeared from the swirl. Zhang Zheng only felt exhausted, and only a little thinner divine consciousness was left to keep sending out labor pains.
But she can't stop yet, if she stops now, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and death will be truly ushered in.
Continuing to operate the Neutralization and Transformation Technique, the nine vortices began to swallow the essence and pure vitality, and the vitality slowly wandered throughout the body, and the flesh and blood were reborn everywhere they passed.
The pain of rebirth is unbearable, not only extreme pain, but also inexplicable extreme itching that cannot be found. It makes people want to scratch the rotten flesh.
I don't know how long the unbearable torture lasted, Zhang Zheng only knew that he had finally survived until his flesh and blood were re-abundant, and he had fainted before he could open his eyes.
……
"Senior Brother Zhang, this is what Uncle Shi said about the place where the demon cultivators were slaughtered?"
A delicate female voice came from a distance.
Immediately after, the figure of the Seven Unified Moon Bai Zongfu appeared not far from the town.
Zhang Xiaoliang, who was the leader, didn't reply, his eyes seemed to be soaked in frost, and he looked coldly at the deserted town in front of him.
The whole town was enveloped in an evil air of death, and even ten miles away made people feel suffocated.
The land in front of me was barren and cracked, bare, and unvegetated, shrouded in a thin gray mist.
The female cultivator who opened her mouth to ask was soft-looking, and when she saw that Senior Brother Zhang completely ignored herself, she felt bitter in her heart, and her delicate apricot eyes were also eclipsed.
"Senior Sister Xiao, if you don't have long eyes, you can go to Anyi, don't ask others everything."
Qin Shuangyan couldn't get used to Xiao Xiaoning's look of bullying her all the time, and couldn't help but make mockery.
Xiao Xiaoning, as the daughter of the elders of the inner gate, has good qualifications and grew up in Wanxuanmen since she was a child.
Elder Xiao's wife disappeared during a trip to a secret realm, and she has not been seen for decades. He has only one daughter in his life, so it can be said that he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling in the palm of his hand.
Growing up with thousands of favors, although Xiao Xiaoning is a little pampered, she is fortunate that she has not grown into an arrogant and domineering child, so the sect is extremely tolerant of her from top to bottom, and some small problems and small tempers never care about her.
But on the contrary, Qin Shuangyan is also the master of thousands of pets at home, and his father has a deep friendship with the head of Wanxuanmen, and he also has the head of the sect to take care of him.
For Xiao Xiaoning, who has a pampered temperament and cries at every turn, Qin Shuangyan really can't get used to it, and the two often have friction in the sect.
Hearing Qin Shuangyan's merciless sarcasm, Xiao Xiaoning's eyes were flushed, and tears immediately burst into tears.
It's a pity that there are seven people in the group, and none of them are the guys who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and they were stunned because of her grievances, and finally held back their tears in a boring way.
"Senior Brother Zhang, how is the situation?"
The clear and gentle voice sounded, such as jade stumbling and mountain streams singing streams, which made people feel at ease.
The owner of the voice is also handsome, a gentle son of a lone pine in Yanyan and a puppet in Yushan.
If Zhang Zheng is here, you will find that this person is not the nameless senior brother who is guiding her in the mountains.
The formation here has dissipated, but the ground is still leaking a trace of gray mist.
Zhang Xiaoliang's frowning brows never relaxed, and he said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid it's not good, the atmosphere here is very bad."
Zhang Xiaoliang's perception of danger and instinct are really excellent, and he has survived many crises and gained many opportunities.
If he said so, then the trip would definitely be dangerous, and it would be very likely that he would be put in it.
The seven of them couldn't help but frown, and began to think about whether to continue the trip.
Five months ago, they participated in the Floating Secret Realm Trial with the sect. This secret realm trial is jointly opened by all the sects and families in the Xichuan realm, and it aims to use the trial to measure the strength of each other's new generation of disciples, and to connect with each other by the way.
After the secret realm trial, the sect sent a message that the demon cultivation suddenly appeared in the nine-fold Zhangshui Prefecture, and the five outer disciples of the sect removed the demon, but only one person survived, and that person was also seriously injured, and he fell into a coma after only a few words, and he needed to be raised for a few months.
As the inner disciples of Wanxuanmen, and they are the elite among them, they naturally took over the task without hesitation and went here to investigate.
But at the moment, even Zhang Xiaoliang feels that the future is dangerous, and their rash visit is very likely to outweigh the losses.
