Volume 1: The Return of the King Chapter 7: The Uninfected Old Man
With a squeak, the door of the second room was pushed open by Lin Tian.
"Nothing."
Lin Tian glanced around and couldn't help but pout.
Immediately after, Lin Tian sped up the movements in his hands, the third and fourth rooms...... It wasn't until the door of the last room was pushed open that Lin Tian finally saw the living thing.
It was an old man, but looking at the wound on his neck, he should have been infected by the blood poison of the Blood Demon Clan.
Lin Tiangang wanted to make a move and ended up with the other party, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the old man actually spoke.
"You're trying to kill me, young man, aren't you?"
Hearing the old man's voice, Lin Tian's movements stiffened, and he looked at the old man with a strange expression and said, "Old man, are you not infected?" ”
The old man smiled when he heard this, stretched out his finger and pointed to the bitten flesh on his neck, and said indifferently: "You see that I have been bitten by those monsters, how can I not be infected, it's just that I am different from them, I still retain my senses." ”
"Staying sane after being infected?" Lin Tian's expression was even more strange, it was not that he had never dealt with the Blood Demon Clan, he knew the horror of blood poison, not to mention the old man in front of him who only practiced qi, even if he was a strong person in the subtle realm, he would definitely not escape the risk of being assimilated.
"Young man, you don't have to look at me with this expression, I won't hurt you, not to mention that with your skills, if you want to kill me, a bad old man, it's not as simple as killing a chicken and a dog."
The old man didn't seem to care about Lin Tian's speechlessness at all, and continued to say to himself: "The old man has been in Stargazing City for thirty years, and the changes that have occurred in Stargazing City have already begun to be laid out twenty years ago. ”
"What do you mean?"
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Tian's eyes lit up, it seemed that this old man was the insider of this disaster.
"Don't worry, and listen to me slowly." The old man smiled and motioned for Lin Tian to sit down, then looked out the window with his eyes, and spoke slowly: "Twenty years ago, there was a very powerful family in Stargazing City, named Wild Crane, he was different from other families, he did not run a business or pursue the ultimate in martial arts, but he had a lot of research on those ancient ruins. ”
"It seems that on that day, I don't remember clearly, the head of the Chen family took the elite of the family to Qianjue Mountain and found an ancient ruin, and found a large number of martial arts and exercises in the ancient ruins, which can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire stargazing city at that time.
Speaking of this, the old man sighed slightly.
"It's just strange that the Chen family didn't monopolize these martial arts, but instead took them out and shared them with the major families in Stargazing City, and even gave them those divine weapons."
"This move has attracted countless families in Stargazing City to have a good impression of them, as long as the children of the Chen family travel, they will definitely be taken care of by other families."
Hearing the old man say this, Lin Tian was a little surprised, he didn't expect this Chen family to be so generous, which many families can't do.
"And after that?"
Lin Tian looked at the old man with some doubts, according to the old man's statement, the Chen family must have become a big clan in Stargazing City so popular, but he had never heard of it, nor did he find a little bit of information about the Chen family from the memory fragments.
Hearing Lin Tian ask, the old man sighed again, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness.
"After that, the Chen family was in full swing and developed several ruins, but unexpectedly, the invincible Chen family didn't even get an iron lump."
"The ancestor of the Chen family was furious, angrily denounced the elite of the family as rice buckets, and drove them all out of the family."
"But the day after these elites left the family, something strange happened."
"What's weird?" The old man's words aroused the curiosity in Lin Tian's heart, and he hurriedly asked.
"All the high-level leaders of the Chen family, led by the ancestor of the Chen family, turned into man-eating monsters almost overnight, and they bit people when they saw them in the stargazing city, completely losing their minds, so that everyone finally had to join forces to destroy the Chen family."
"That battle, known as the Battle of Blood Demon Extermination, all the forces in Stargazing City joined forces to kill all the people related to the Chen family with the power of thunder, which can be said to be completely cut down and eradicated."
"It's just that when the major families counted the battlefield afterwards, they found that in the hint of the Chen family, there was a blood-red flower, that flower was very peculiar, and it could exude a faint fragrance that controlled people's hearts.
"In the end, it was the city lord who took action and expelled everyone from the illusion realm, and later the city lord took this flower and named it the blood demon poison strain, and sealed it in the basement of the city lord's mansion."
Hearing this, Lin Tian seemed to have understood the general idea of the matter, this blood demon strain should have been discovered by them in the ancient ruins of the Thousand Peerless Mountains, as for the few ruins in the back that were not harvested, it should be the Chen family's lie to the outside world, in fact, those precious genius earth treasures should have been used by them to support the blood demon strain.
"Since the City Lord's Mansion has sealed the Blood Demon Poison Strain, where did these Blood Demon Clans come from?" This is Lin Tian's most doubtful place, listening to the old man's story, this Stargazing City City Lord should be an upright person, and he will never use these crooked ways to achieve his goals.
"Alas, after the old city lord sealed the blood demon strain, he was also attacked by the toxin of the strain, he knew that he would become those man-eating monsters, so he sat in the Thousand Peerless Mountains, and the new city lord was inherited by the son of the old city lord, originally this kid was quite upright, but he couldn't stand the bewitchment of having great power, and after the seal of the blood demon strain was lifted, he disappeared."
"Alright, young man, that's all I have to tell you, is there anything else you want to say after listening to it?"
The old man looked at Lin Tian with a smile in his eyebrows, looked at Lin Tian and asked.
Hearing this, Lin Tian looked at the old man, got up with a smile, walked in front of the old man while clapping his hands, and said with a smile: "Old man, I have to say that your story is really good, there is a beginning and an end, and the storyline is vivid and vivid, if I didn't trust you from the beginning, I can really let you fool the past." ”
"Huh?"
Obviously, the old man didn't expect Lin Tian to say this, he had even thought of the answers to all of Lin Tian's questions in his heart, but he didn't expect the other party to see through his disguise from the beginning.
"How did you see I was lying to you?"
But how could Lin Tian answer him this question, clenched his fist with his right hand, and greeted the old man directly.
Sou!
The old man almost dodged Lin Tian's attack in a flash, and at the same time, the originally rickety figure was suddenly protected, and the muscles of his whole body were like a leather ball that began to inflate, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a burly middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sneered at Lin Tian, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery.
"Young man, don't be so hot."
"Hmph."
Lin Tian sneered, and slammed a backhand punch at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Tian's smile, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, the reason why he was so polite to Lin Tian was actually because he valued Lin Tian's talent, being able to achieve such combat power at the age of seventeen was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
But Lin Tian repeatedly regarded his words as farts, which made him feel a trace of anger in his heart.
Seeing Lin Tian's punch, the middle-aged man also decisively threw a punch, colliding with Lin Tian's terrifying fist print.
Rumble!
With a violent sound, the man and Lin Tian took a step back at the same time.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two of them at the same time, the middle-aged man was shocked by Lin Tian's strength, and Lin Tian was shocked by the identity of the middle-aged man, who had dealt with the Blood Demon Clan before, and clearly felt the power of the Blood Demon contained in the middle-aged man when he threw that punch.
"You're an orthodox blood demon?"
Lin Tian looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked in a cold voice.
The orthodox Blood Demon Clan is the purest Blood Demon bloodline since birth, and unlike those infected by the Blood Demon Strain or the Blood Demon Clan, they not only retain their sanity, but also can independently exert the power of the Blood Demon Bloodline, and are known as the fighting machines of the Demon Realm.
"Yo, you know a lot."
Hearing Lin Tian shout the word orthodox blood demon, the middle-aged man was also stunned, there is a record of the blood demon clan, which had been destroyed by the orthodox forces on the continent hundreds of years ago, and the young man in front of him didn't know where he learned about the record of the blood demon clan.
"As much as your nonsense." Lin Tian sneered, the black light flashed in his pupils, and the strength of the middle-aged man in front of him was roughly felt by him.
The middle-aged man in front of him, or the Blood Demon Clan, has the strength to match the peak of the Condensing Realm in the Human Race.
And if his current strength is roughly estimated, he should also be at the peak of the Condensing Realm, and it depends on who is better at the same level.
"Boy, I must take care of your mouth for your parents today."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man was churning with the power of qi and blood, and two huge wings grew from behind him with a stabbing sound.
Instead, his wings shook, his body soared into the air, and he swooped towards Lin Tian instead.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was swooping in front of him, Lin Tian sneered, his right hand clenched his fist and smashed directly towards the middle-aged man, while his left hand was behind him, and a black spirit banner slowly emerged in the palm of his hand.
Rumble!
Lin Tian's fist print collided fiercely with the middle-aged man, but this time, both of them burst out with the strongest strength, and neither of them took a step back.
At the junction of the two fists, a terrifying air flow compressed and condensed in it, and once this air flow detonated, neither of them would be spared.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to have such terrifying power, but the old man was a little clumsy."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's attitude began to soften, and he thought for a moment and said to Lin Tiandao: "Boy, I'll shout one, two, three, how about we stop at the same time?" If we let the energy condense any longer, you and I will not be able to get any benefit. ”
"Oh, really?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the corners of Lin Tian's mouth hooked a smug arc, and the left hand that was originally hidden behind him suddenly made a move, and the originally black small banner turned into a two-meter-long giant flag in the blink of an eye, and directly pumped towards the middle-aged man's head.
"Boy, you're cheating!"
