The night of the grassland is quiet and serene, and the heaven and earth seem to dissolve into a layer of ink.

Dugu Xiaotian's swordsmanship became chaotic, he stabbed forward indiscriminately, slashed indiscriminately, and waved indiscriminately, without any discipline.

Gradually, he forgot the basic sword style in the army, forgot the wind sword technique, forgot Luohan boxing, and forgot Taijiquan.

The sea appeared in his mind, the breeze appeared, the pine forest appeared, and the drizzle appeared;

These pictures are vivid, he seems to be in the scene, and the long sword is freely wielded.

After a while, the blue air mass in Xiaotian's brain flickered a few times. His sword slowed down, and sometimes the breeze on the sword was gentle, sometimes it was drizzling, sometimes it was pine, sometimes it was rolling waves.

"Breeze Sword Style, Drizzle Sword Style, Green Pine Sword Style, Big Wave Sword Style;" Dugu smiled and muttered to himself. As soon as the sword light changed, his sword technique only had four styles, and he was performing it back and forth.

The boundless grassland, a piece of emerald green, is illuminated by the morning light, like a layer of gold dust. With the gusts of morning wind, there were golden waves.

The sheep bleated.

Dugu Xiaotian came to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This time, I realized that I had been practicing swords for five hours. He only felt that he was full of energy and internal strength at this time.

"Brother Qiao once instructed me that every time my internal strength breaks through the triple level, it is a big threshold, and the sixth layer breaks through to the seventh level, and it is advancing by leaps and bounds." Dugu smiled and thought to himself. "My Hongmeng Jin has broken through from the sixth to the seventh, and I feel that my internal strength has doubled, and sure enough!"

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. Xiaotian has been wandering the savannah for a month.

The savannah is so vast that you often don't see herders for three to five days. Xiaotian believed in the reins, and gradually couldn't distinguish where he was. He had already exchanged tents, flints, salt and other necessary things with the herdsmen.

Dugu Xiaotian now has high martial arts, and he relies on hunting to supplement food on weekdays, but fortunately, there are many bison and wild horses on the grassland, which are inexhaustible.

When he saw the lake, he took plenty of clear water, touched a few big fish, and feasted on it, but he was also at ease.

There will also be some robbers and bandits on the grassland, and Dugu Xiaotian only punished them when he saw it, and did not hurt their lives. Sometimes, when he met a poor poor herdsman, he would also give him a little silver.

That night, Dugu Xiaotian set up his tent beside a small lake and was meditating and practicing.

"Bang bang", two slight sounds came into Xiao Tian's ears. Qiao Wanyun once pointed out some tips for walking the rivers and lakes in Xiaotian. Before going to bed every night, Xiaotian would lay dry branches, small pieces of wood, and other things in a radius of one mile where he was sleeping, as if he were on guard, and now it came in handy.

There was another soft sound of "crackling", Dugu Xiaotian did not hesitate any longer, picked up the Pingtian Sword, took the baggage with him, and lurked in the southwest direction.

In a moment, Xiaotian had already understood the current situation. Four groups of people, each group of more than ten people, from the east, west, north and south, slowly surrounded Dugu Xiaotian's tent in a fan shape.

"These people have a calm breath, obviously the imperial court sent a master of the inner house," laughed darkly. "There are more than 50 people coming, and they are invincible."

Dugu Xiaotian's figure unfolded, like catkins in the wind, drifting to the southwest.

The group in the southwest corner is led by Liu Hongsheng. There is one eightfold master of internal strength in this group, and the rest are all sevenfold masters of internal strength.

"Huh?" Li Mingchang, who has eight levels of internal strength, snorted, "There is a situation!" As soon as the voice fell, a black shadow had already passed over the heads of the encircled masters.

Li Mingchang didn't hesitate any longer, shook his hand, and shot a poke of thistle at the black shadow with the "starry sky" technique.

Dugu Xiaotian's long sword danced, and the iron thistle terrestris was like a tree blown by the wind, and was taken aside by a dark energy.

Taking advantage of this gap, two masters with seven levels of internal strength, one sword and one sword, attacked Dugu Xiaotian from the left and right. "The sword is combined, and the two are born together". Two diametrically opposed forces were born on the sword, and they slammed into Xiaotian with each other.

"Big Wave Sword Style!" At this moment, Dugu Xiaotian did not dare to delay. He wielded his long sword to the fullest, and with a surging sword style, he met the attacking sword.

"Bang" Pingtian Sword hit the shore like a huge wave, hitting the sword, and the two forces canceled out. The two people of the sword were happy in their hearts, and suddenly, there was another internal strength on the Pingtian sword, "Double Waves of the Sea"!

"Bang", the two masters were shocked by the second dark energy and vomited blood and retreated, blocking in front of the masters who continued to surround them, and several masters behind hurriedly supported the two people.

Dugu Xiaotian relied on the power of the shock on the sword, his body was like a breeze, and he disappeared into the dark night of the grassland with a whoosh. Liu Hongsheng let out a long roar, and everyone hurriedly chased in the direction where Xiaotian disappeared.

Three days later, Dugu Xiaotian sat exhausted next to a small natural oasis and exercised pranayama.

The master group sent by the imperial court is not only strong in martial arts, but also has capable people who are good at tracking.

In the past few days, I have encountered their pursuit many times, and although I have seriously injured several people, I have never been able to get rid of their tracking.

"Oh the law", more than two dozen brown wild horses rushed to the side of the oasis, and they did not care about laughing at the sky and drinking the lake water.

"God help me!" Dugu Xiaotian filled the bag with clear water and flew to the back of one of the most majestic horses in the herd.

The wild horse on the grassland was extremely untamable, and the wild horse was about to jump up and down when one palm was firmly pressed against its head. Xiaotian ran Hongmeng Jin, and subdued this majestic wild horse in a moment.

"Only by entering the desert can you escape their tracking." Dugu smiled and thought darkly, and immediately pulled his horsehair and galloped towards the north.

Xiaotian subdued the leader of this group of wild horses, and the other two dozen wild horses also ran north with them.

After a stick of incense, a large group of people rushed to the small oasis. After the ambush that night, the follow-up support of Ouchi Jinyiwei had also arrived, bringing Liu Hongsheng and others forty camels, fifty horses, tents, drinking water, and other things.

"Helimu, investigate carefully!" Liu Hongsheng commanded.

With that, he turned to salute an old man with a childish face, "Master Zhang, let's rest here for a while, and then set off to chase after the traces of the criminal." When the old man heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Master Zhang's real name is Zhang Shouren, who is a famous member of the Kongtong faction, and is known as "the first person in the capital" with the "Seven Wounds Boxing" alone in martial arts.

"Your Excellency!" Helimu has been surveying for a long time, and there has been a harvest. "The culprit encountered a herd of wild horses here, about twenty of them judging from the hoof prints. The culprit should have robbed the wild horse and headed all the way north to escape from us in the depths of the Great Gobi Desert. ”

When Liu Hongsheng heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.

The Great Gobi is uninhabited for thousands of miles and lacks water sources. And sandstorms are rampant, the sun is scorching during the day, and the evening is extremely cold, which is extremely difficult to track.

After a while, Zhang Shouren said slowly: "Although the Great Gobi Desert is extremely difficult for Mongolian natives to survive, the criminals are strong in martial arts and have profound internal skills, so they must not be in danger of life. ”

Liu Hongsheng gritted his teeth, "All the masters with more than seven levels of internal strength, take 5 Mongolian local guides and enter the desert together." Others are here on standby. ”

At the moment the crowd was divided into two groups. Zhang Shouren and Liu Hongsheng took 20 masters with more than seven levels of internal strength, followed by five Mongolian guides, led more than 30 camels, and continued to chase north. The rest of the Jinyi guards and the Mongol troops stayed by this small lake to respond.
