Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Sword Slash, Heading to the Desert Oasis

"Actually, you're not this person, are you? Who are you? โ€

Zhao Yuanliang has lived for hundreds of years, and he thinks that he is well-informed, and he is even more confident that there are few opponents in the Southern Imperial Domain.

Now that a young man with the strength of the Yuan God Realm suddenly appeared, he naturally didn't want to believe it, but he guessed it instead.

It's just that his questioning did not cause Cao Chuan to respond.

Mu Qingqiu, who controlled Cao Chuan's body, said to himself after hearing what he said: "A guy like you, who doesn't follow the right path in order to seek immortality, and goes to be in the company of demons and evil should be cut by a thousand knives, even if you fall into purgatory from which you will never recover, it will be cheaper for you." โ€

The hatred for the evil path in Mu Qingqiu's mouth was self-evident, and Zhao Yuanliang naturally didn't say anything more, but tremblingly took out a pitch-black spirit stone from his arms and stuffed it directly into his chest that had been blasted out of a hole by the Sky Slashing Sword just now.

"Ahh

The moment the black spirit stone touched the flesh and blood, a violent and evil force suddenly poured into Zhao Yuanliang's body.

In the terrible screams, I saw that Zhao Yuanliang's empty chest was rapidly filled with a cloud of black viscous liquid.

When the gap was completely sealed, a bloodshot black pupil opened at the mouth of the heart, squirming up and down, left and right, observing the surroundings until his gaze was locked on Cao Chuan's body.

"While your presence did cause some holes in my supposed flawless plan, today's results won't change because of your presence!"

"And I'm very much looking forward to absorbing you now, and refining what realm I can break through."

Zhao Yuanliang, who was filled with a vacancy in his body by the pitch-black viscous unknown liquid, not only recovered to his previous state, but even further raised his realm directly to the Yuan Shen realm.

Cao Chuan, who was originally controlled by Mu Qingqiu, was completely suppressed, and he straightened his waist in an instant, and what flashed in his eyes was no longer panic, but the extreme desire for Cao Chuan's body.

Mu Qingqiu, who felt the change in Zhao Yuanliang's momentum behind him, immediately controlled and turned around.

When he saw the eye in the other party's heart, he was full of murderous intent, and the Sky Slashing Sword in his hand also trembled violently.

The momentum of the Yuan Shen Realm began to rise continuously, becoming more and more powerful.

Raising his sword and pointing at Zhao Yuanliang, Mu Qingqiu said in a deep voice: "I thought you were just a little person who was confused by demons and evils, but I didn't expect that you could actually take out such evil things as the "Demon Stone", it seems that you have completely become an evil and evil person." โ€

"Haha... You're right! This is indeed the effect of the magic stone! โ€

Zhao Yuanliang didn't want to hide it, Mu Qingqiu said it, and he said honestly: "The magic stone formed by the fusion of the Dao heart of the evil Dao monk has the miraculous effect of the flesh and bones of the living dead, even if the Dao heart collapses and the dantian is worn out, it can be restored. โ€

"Speaking of which, I killed a lot of evil monks in order to get this magic stone back then, I don't know what you think, senior?"

At the same time as the words fell, Zhao Yuanliang looked at Cao Chuan with a playful look.

It's as if he wasn't meant to be what he is.

He wanted to make Cao Chuan confused with these few words.

However, Zhao Yuanliang calculated everything, but it was not he who controlled Cao Chuan's body until now, but Mu Qingqiu, the Heaven Slashing Sword God.

Mu Qingqiu's sword heart is clear, and he will not be affected by the outside world at all.

No matter how good Zhao Yuanliang said, it would only make the anger in her heart burn more vigorously.

So at the next moment when Zhao Yuanliang was about to continue to use words to confuse Cao Chuan.

Mu Qingqiu made a move.

This time it was faster and more swift than before.

It is also the Heaven and Earth Destruction in the Heaven Slashing Sword Technique, what splits the world and makes the space shatter is no longer that sword light, but a Heaven Slashing Sword Qi that spans 30,000 miles across the world and seems to be sinking and shattering.

"Boom!"

Like thunder, like a storm.

The entire borderless city began to collapse under this 30,000-mile Heaven Slashing Sword Qi that spanned the heavens and the earth.

"No... No way! This is definitely not the power that a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator can unleash! โ€

Zhao Yuanliang, who forcibly raised the realm to the Yuan Shen Realm with the help of the Demon Stone, knew very well how many catties and taels of power he could have.

At this moment, the Heaven Cutting Sword Qi had already come to him, his face was pale, and Zhao Yuanliang, who was trembling all over, shouted in disbelief: "No! You're not a Yuan Shen Realm cultivator at all! Who are you? Who the hell did you send against me? โ€

"Ahh

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heaven Cutting Sword Qi had already penetrated Zhao Yuanliang's body.

Mu Qingqiu, who no longer kept his hand in a state of anger, did not give Zhao Yuanliang another chance, and the Heaven Cutting Sword Qi directly crushed everything in his path into powder.

When the roar like the collapse of a mountain finally dissipated, there was still Zhao Yuanliang in the clear sky.

"Shhhhhh

With a soft snort, Mu Qingqiu controlled Cao Chuan's body and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes as an afterimage.

When he returned to the ground, he returned his body to Cao Chuan.

Although Cao Chuan didn't make a move, he witnessed everything with his own eyes, and when he finally returned to his body, he immediately asked Mu Qingqiu excitedly: "Senior Mu, when do you think I can be like you, and I can cross the world for 30,000 miles with a single sword?" โ€

"You? You're still early. โ€

In the sea of knowledge, Mu Qingqiu's voice was very weak, so much so that he said a little impatiently: "I just want to sleep well now, and I'll talk to you when I wake up." โ€

After speaking, without waiting for Cao Chuan to say anything, Mu Qingqiu disappeared without a trace.

If it weren't for the intermittent transmission of her breath in the sea of knowledge, Cao Chuan would have thought that her remnant soul had dissipated.

Sensing that Mu Qingqiu had just fallen into a deep sleep, Cao Chuan put his mind at ease, and immediately dispelled the idea of asking, and went back to the previous house to find Yu Shengnan, who was still unconscious in bed.

Since Zhao Yuanliang had been killed, the Great Array that could not continue to be maintained without the Formation Eye also collapsed.

No longer worrying about being corroded by the blood falling from the sky, Cao Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to wake up Yu Shengnan and asked her to leave with him.

And at the same time.

It was also because of Zhao Yuanliang's death that the eight elders and deacons who had been helping the former from the beginning were blinded and stiffened and fell to the ground, and now they have been surrounded by the surviving monks.

A monk who was good at soul searching immediately searched for their souls.

Soon, all the memories hidden in the sea of the eight elders and deacons were scavenged, and everyone was able to know that the old city lord Zhao Yuanliang was actually the city lord of the ownerless city, and he had been arranging a large array to cover the sky and the sun since he became the city lord.

But in order to ensure that his plan can be fully implemented, Zhao Yuanliang also specially proposed the establishment of eight elders and deacons in his capacity as the city lord to balance his own power, so as to ensure that the rules in the ownerless city are absolutely fair and just.

However, in fact, the reason why Zhao Yuanliang wanted to set up these eight elders and deacons was to facilitate the arrangement of the large array that covered the sky and the sun.

As the elder deacon interacted with him more and more frequently, he was imperceptibly affected by the power in the magic stone, and gradually became a living puppet controlled by Zhao Yuanliang.

The so-called living puppets are puppets that never see anything abnormal on weekdays, but in fact only obey the orders of their masters.

This is the case with the eight elder deacons, who were eroded by the Demon Stone due to their low realm, and all of them became puppets who would only obey Zhao Yuanliang's orders.

But for Zhao Yuanliang, controlling the eight elders and deacons was far from enough.

In order to ensure that there would be no accidents when the Great Array of Covering the Sky and the Sun was launched, he thought of another, more vicious plan.

Since there are many monks in the Ownerless City whose cultivation realm is similar to his own, Zhao Yuanliang thought of using the Demon Stone to drive the demon beast puppets in order not to be ruined by these people, and then organized the monks in the city to hunt the demon beasts after the beast tide was formed, and specially arranged the beast tide in the depths of the desert.

There are no other humans living in the depths of the desert, and if you accidentally die there, you will be truly untouched.

Zhao Yuanliang gained a better reputation by relying on the beast tide again and again and stopping the monks from fighting the beast tide, and at the same time, he also consumed a lot of monks who were enough to affect his plans.

However, the plan still failed to satisfy Zhao Yuanliang at this point.

So he continued to lie dormant and wait, until every monk who came to the Borderless City volunteered to sacrifice everything for the city, and finally felt that the time was ripe, and now was the best day to activate the Great Array of Covering the Sky and the Sun.

In the first step, Zhao Yuanliang launched a beast tide again.

This beast tide is still breaking out in the depths of the desert, but both the scale and the realm of demon beasts are far greater than before, so most of the monks who are sent out are the highest realms in the city.

When the monk team reached the depths of the desert and began to fight against the beast tide, the puppet placed by Zhao Yuanliang in the team cooperated with the beast tide and killed a lot of high-level monks in one fell swoop.

After this beast tide is over, the second step of the plan begins.

Although it was still an outbreak of beast tides, the purpose of these demon beasts was not to consume the monks in the city, but to block the monks outside the city, Zhao Yuanliang did not want to encounter interference from the outside world when the Great Array of Covering the Sky and the Sun was activated.

The first two steps of the plan went very smoothly.

The third step of the plan, that is, the direct launch of the Great Array that covers the sky and the sun, is also not wrong.

Zhao Yuanliang successfully obtained the qi and blood and life span of many monks, and he also successfully rejuvenated.

Next, he was only one step away from successfully breaking through the realm to become a Yuanshen Realm monk, and obtained a vast lifespan that far surpassed that of a monk of the same realm.

Even if it wasn't true immortality, it gave him enough time to pursue immortality again.

Zhao Yuanliang's plan was indeed clever, so clever that everyone still believed that this old city lord was a true benevolent and righteous man before he survived.

It's a pity that although his plan is perfect to the extreme, it still can't escape the end of failure.

The appearance of Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan would not have affected his plans, but Mu Qingqiu could.

Mu Qingqiu, who was named the Sword God of Heaven Cutting in ancient times, can open the world with a sword, and the sword qi spans 30,000 miles of heaven and earth, and Zhao Yuanliang is naturally not an opponent.

But the monks only knew that the old city lord Zhao Yuanliang was secretly planning all this, but they couldn't see from their memories who killed Zhao Yuanliang and allowed them to escape.

All that remained in everyone's minds was that bright sword light.

Outside the city.

Cao Chuan, who didn't want to cause too much trouble for himself, took Yu Shengnan and ran out of the Borderless City as if he were fleeing.

Fortunately, after Zhao Yuanliang's death, the demon beasts who were also puppets no longer took action, but just froze in place.

At this time, the monks from the outside world who rushed to the Ownerless City because of the outbreak of the beast tide killed one demon beast after another, and appeared in front of Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan in a bloody path.

Seeing Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan, as well as the Borderless City with the smell of blood behind them.

The monks from the outside hurriedly stepped forward to protect the two and asked about the situation in the city.

Cao Chuan naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and only after adapting Mu Qingqiu into a mysterious power did he tell the outside world all the things that happened before.

"Is that so? I didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in the Borderless City. โ€

"Yes! What's even more unimaginable is the old city lord, if it weren't for something like this happening today, who would have thought that the old city lord who was praised and worshiped by countless monks would actually be an evil villain. โ€

"But where is that mysterious power, who is sacred, he can actually kill the old city lord with a sword, I'm afraid he has to have the cultivation of the Yuan God Realm, right?"

After listening to Cao Chuan's description, everyone was full of emotion, some scolded Zhao Yuanliang for being really evil, and some lamented the power of the mysterious power in Cao Chuan's mouth.

As for Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan, who went far away again, they were ignored by them.

In their eyes, the two were just young men who had just escaped from the city.

This is also the effect that Cao Chuan needs, he doesn't want to be mistaken for Mu Qingqiu or Zhao Yuanliang.

As for what will happen or become of the borderless city in the future, this is not something he can decide alone, rather than worrying about the future of a city, it is better to take himself to a safe place to rest first.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

Ahead of the borderless city is a desert.

There is no trace of human habitation in the desert, and monsters don't like to stay in such a place where birds don't.

Now it has become the safest place for Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan.

Zhao Yuanliang's death is destined to cause the beast tide that will only break out because of the former will not break out again in at least a short period of time, plus the desert is inaccessible, even if the two of them sit directly on the yellow sand and sleep, no one will disturb them.

But the two didn't stop there.

Even though there was still more than half a month before the admission assessment of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, the two of them accelerated their speed.

It didn't take long for the two of them to move forward at full speed before their eyes saw an oasis dotted with stars.

In the oasis, the traces and breath of humans finally appeared.

"Let's go, we're just a few steps away."

Cao Chuan took Yu Shengnan's hand and walked into the desert oasis that looked calm and peaceful.
