Volume 1: The Sword Rises from the East Chapter 28: See Shi Haoyuan again
As everyone went up the mountain one after another, the disciples of the Gu family who were walking with Gu Ming also showed their true thoughts, and deliberately walked fast, wanting to leave Gu Ming behind.
"Hasn't this guy been gone for a long time? Why did you come up with us again? ”
"Be quiet, don't let him hear it, didn't you see what he looked like when he killed the disciples of the White Rainbow Sword Sect?"
……
Suspicion, dissatisfaction, disgust......
Even if he tried his best to win a respite for the Gu family, his rebellious image in the Gu family's hearts remained unchanged.
This couldn't help but make Zhang Qing look embarrassed.
On the one hand, there are fellow disciples who will cultivate together in the future, and on the other hand, there is the young master who has just taken refuge, which makes him a little difficult for a while.
Gu Ming saw Zhang Qing's thoughts, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't care about these rumors, just go with them, I'll go alone." ”
"But the young master ......"
"Don't you believe in my strength?"
Looking at Gu Ming's determined eyes, Zhang Qing didn't want to say anything more, and followed quickly after saying goodbye.
Gu Ming, on the other hand, chose a path alone after the other disciples went away.
In the past, he was often trapped by these rumors and sophistication.
But now he is standing higher than these people and seeing more.
His only goal now is to grow stronger and protect his family and loved ones.
As for those family feuds, human feelings? Just let it be.
Walking through a dense forest, Gu Ming heard the wail of a wild beast, mixed with the sound of swords cutting.
He slowed his steps and turned into the place where the sound sounded, and saw the three men killing a wild boar.
The wild boar was obviously also contaminated with aura, not only fierce and abnormal, but the fangs on both sides were also extremely sharp and huge, and with a slight pick, the clothes of a warrior were torn apart.
However, that's not all.
This place is still at the foot of Tai'a Shenxu Mountain, and most of the spirits inhabiting here are beginner-level, and their strength is not strong.
Although the three martial artists were all at the third or fourth level of imperial qi, they were more than enough to deal with a beginner-level spirit.
"Hah!"
Hearing a loud shout, the two warriors on the flanks drew their swords and stabbed them into the waist of the wild boar, while the warriors in front used brute force to control the fangs of the wild boar and prevent it from injuring a few people in the resistance.
The pain was accompanied by gushing blood, and the wild boar had no strength after holding on to less than half a stick of incense.
Seeing this, a warrior hurriedly disemboweled, removing the sperm nucleus from the blood.
"Haha! I finally got it, and this essence core belongs to me! ”
"Hey, why did you give it to you? If I hadn't attracted the pig essence from the front, you could have easily killed it? The other warrior apparently disagreed.
"There are many more spirits in this mountain, so it's a big deal to give you the next one."
"No! Who knows if you'll go back on your word unless you give me this essence core first! ”
"In that case, let's grab it according to our strength!"
The three of them who were still fighting together just now fought for a beginner-level essence core in the blink of an eye!
The essence core of the spirit, in addition to being used to accumulate points, has a certain use for martial arts practice, forging and alchemy, but when Tai'a Shenxu enters on weekdays, not only does he have to pay a lot of money, but no one is responsible for his own safety.
Now that there is such an opportunity, how can the three of them give it up?
Looking at this scene, Gu Ming shook his head and continued to walk forward.
The strength of the beginner spirit is very weak, and most warriors can deal with it alone, and if they have teammates, they can easily kill.
As for the mid-level and high-level spirits halfway up the mountain, and even on the top of the mountain, no one cares about them.
But this also caused a situation where there were more monks and less meat, and as soon as a beginner-level spirit appeared, a bunch of martial artists swarmed up, and even fought for the only essence core in the end.
Su Jia is right, this retest seems to be safer than the first test, but in fact, there are more hidden dangers!
"Auntie, the Terran warriors have true qi in their bodies, and these spirits should also have them, right?"
"That's nature." Suga nodded.
"In that case, I'll go up to a higher place to take a look, and I always feel a little guilty about seizing the true qi of other martial artists......"
……
After passing through a few dense forests, Gu Ming arrived at the halfway point of the Tai'a Divine Ruins.
Sure enough, as he thought, there were few pedestrians on the mountainside, and the aura was more abundant, which was very suitable for hunting for a person with a little strength like him.
As soon as Gu Ming wandered around a few times, he suddenly heard a burst of birdsong, looked up, and really saw a huge strange bird with silver hair stopped in the treetops, looking Gu Ming up and down with eyes full of doubt and cruelty.
This is also a beginner-level spirit, but it has already stepped into the intermediate level in half a step.
"Babble-"
After observing for a moment, the strange bird screamed, spread its wings and soared into the sky, casting a huge black shadow from the sky.
Then there was another scream, turning around and swooping!
The silver feathers spread out one after another, shining as sharp as an iron blade in the sunlight!
Swish!
The wings flickered, and everywhere they went, even the weeds were split in two.
But just when the strange bird turned around confidently and was about to enjoy breakfast, he found that Gu Ming was standing there like no one!
If it weren't for the fact that the sleeve of his right arm was a little torn, the strange bird would have thought that it hadn't hit!
If the beginner-level spirit is converted to the martial arts realm, it is only one to five levels of imperial qi.
Even if it is a mid-level spirit, it has at most the strength of the Nine Layers of Imperial Qi.
Only high-level and special-level spirits can reach the level of martial artists in the Zhao God Realm and even the Ruin Dan Realm.
And Gu Ming, who had the Moyun Jue Protective Body, how could he be afraid of such an attack?
The strange bird still didn't believe in evil, and after a strange cry, it rushed into the air again, and with a fierce wave of its wings, its feathers shot towards Gu Ming like a flying knife, but Gu Ming only felt bored, and with a wave of his right hand, the bone sword instantly shot down the feathers.
Then with a throw, the bone sword took off his hand and shot straight into the air!
Boom!
The bone sword brushes shoulders with the strange bird, cutting off a canopy!
The strange bird knew that it was afraid, screamed a few times, turned around and ran.
"Stop!"
Gu Ming's reaction was not slow, he spread his legs and chased, and at the same time released Mo Yunjue to strengthen his legs, and accelerated to the same level as the flying speed of a strange bird in a few steps!
The strange bird had obviously never seen anyone who could run so fast, and for a while it had no fighting spirit, and even the trajectory of its flight became extremely chaotic.
At the moment, it just wants to get away from this monster that is even more monster than it!
Seeing that the distance was approaching, Gu Ming took out the flying knife from his waist and threw it, and with a sound of breaking the air, the left wing of the strange bird was damaged, and after a wail, the flight altitude instantly decreased.
Gu Ming also seized the opportunity to jump up, once again cast a sword with a demon bone, and cut off the right wing of the strange bird with one sword!
"Babbling ——!"
There was another wail, and the strange bird fell straight down and slammed into the ground!
But even so, the strange bird did not give up the last resistance, and picked up the sharp beak and pecked at Gu Ming!
The strange bird had already cultivated all parts of its body into weapons, not only its feathers, but its beak was as sharp as a spear.
But Gu Ming just stretched out his hand, and he caught a leather ball and easily held the bird's head in his hand!
Then the wrist exerts force, twisting desperately to the left, and it is about to break the bird's head!
However, just when there was a crisp sound of "rattling" in Gu Ming's palm, the strange bird's eyes suddenly emitted red light, and then the feathers all over his body stood upside down, and the neck that had just been almost broken by Gu Ming was easily twisted back at this time, and the closed beak of the bird kept making a "squeak" roar!
In the next second, there was a tingling pain in Gu Ming's palm!
Gu Ming, who noticed that something was wrong, hurriedly took a few steps back, checked the palm of his hand, and there was an extra bloody mouth!
Then, without waiting for him to react, the strange bird got up suddenly, and after a scream in the sky, its body doubled, and even swelled to be only half a head shorter than Gu Ming!
The feathers all over the body seem to be sharper and more shiny at this moment!
"Is this a breakthrough to the intermediate level?" Gu Ming was surprised and delighted: "I didn't expect that even the spirits could break through the limit when they were dying!" ”
But even so, the severed wings of the strange bird could not be restored.
The eagle is a well-deserved king of the air, but once it loses its wings, its combat effectiveness will be far inferior to that of a land beast.
Even a wolf dog can bully it!
Looking at the strange bird that was desperately swooping, Gu Ming no longer hesitated, summoned the bone sword, a beautiful sword flower, and the bird's head fell to the ground in response!
"It's finally settled."
Gu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, and after dealing with the blood and feathers on his clothes, he also learned from the appearance of those warriors in Fangcai, disemboweling the strange bird and taking out a yellow essence core.
Through the translucent essence core, Gu Ming seemed to be able to vaguely see the aura and demonic energy contained in it, if he could add it when forging magic weapons, he might be able to greatly improve his grade.
"It's really a treasure, no wonder all the warriors are eager for it."
Gu Ming put away the essence core, and then ran the Moyun Jue to draw true qi from it.
The strange bird that temporarily broke through the middle level, and the cultivation was only about six levels of imperial qi, although there were a lot, but it was a drop in the bucket for Gu Ming at this time, and Shenhai soon protested and asked Gu Ming for more true qi.
Gu Ming was not verbose, and got up and prepared to look for the next spirit.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard a strange movement around him.
Then, two dark shadows rustled the canopy.
Without waiting for Gu Ming to see the person coming clearly, several flying knives instantly attacked from the left and right sides!
Boom!
Gu Ming immediately flashed his sword, easily slashed down the flying knife, and then controlled his flying knife to throw it at the crown of the tree, instantly cutting off a batch of branches!
Those two black shadows finally landed with the branches, and they were two martial artists with nine levels of imperial qi!
"Hand over the essence core, spare you from death!"
Gu Ming smiled coldly.
Looking at the outfits of these two people, they should be disciples of the White Rainbow Sword Sect.
But Gu Ming clearly remembered that two disciples of the White Rainbow Sword Sect had already been killed by Gu Ming in the initial examination, and the remaining three were all cultivating according to the divine realm.
In other words, the two people in front of him were either the thugs of other Sword Sect disciples, or the people of the White Rainbow Sword Sect who temporarily shoehorned in by virtue of their background.
With a background, can you really do whatever you want?
"The two of you are not weak, why should you rob others of their essence cores? If you want to, you can kill it yourself. ”
Gu Ming still wanted to be reasonable, but he stopped after saying two sentences.
I saw that behind the two warriors, three figures slowly walked out.
The three of them were all cultivated according to the early stage of the God Realm, and the person who walked at the end and was surrounded was Shi Haoyuan!
"Who has no eyesight to see and refuses to hand over the essence core?"
I saw Shi Haoyuan looking like a hanger, swaggering to the front, looking at it, and suddenly happy.
"Who should I be, it turns out to be you, this little deflated three! Dare to play tricks in front of me, tired of being crooked? ”
Gu Ming didn't answer, and clenched the bone sword.
Unexpectedly, this Shi Haoyuan, relying on his father being Baihong Sword Monarch, dared to be so presumptuous, not only carrying guards in violation of regulations, but also maliciously snatching other people's essence cores!
If those martial artists who have no strength and no background encounter them, there is indeed no other way to save their lives except to hand them over obediently.
But Gu Ming slowly lifted the bone sword and put on a desperate posture!
"If you want my essence core, then use your strength to get it!"
"Yo yo yo, you kid really can't think about it! In the past, it was all one-on-one, so that you had a chance, but now the five of us are against you, and we have three more according to the divine realm, one person and one move, which is enough for you to die hundreds of times! ”
Seeing that Gu Ming really had no intention of backing down, Shi Haoyuan waved his hand, and the four warriors rushed up!
In an instant, Gu Ming's four directions were all locked!
But just when everyone was looking forward to the picture of Gu Ming's tragic death, Gu Ming suddenly pulled out his flying knife and threw it at the martial artist in front of him.
The warrior sensed the danger, so he naturally didn't dare to resist, and turned over to avoid the flying knife, but before he landed, Gu Ming had already killed in front of him, and the purple sandalwood palm was directly covered in front of him!
Boom!
The warrior fell to the ground in response, and Gu Ming also drew his sword to kill Shi Haoyuan, who was standing alone.
Shi Haoyuan was naturally not afraid, and he also drew out his weapon and planned to resist.
But at the moment when the blades were about to meet, Gu Ming paused suddenly, and the red sandalwood qi instantly emitted, covering it.
When Shi Haoyuan cleared the purple qi, Gu Ming had already disappeared!
"What are you doing in a daze? Find it for me! I'm going to break this kid to pieces! ”
Shi Haoyuan scolded angrily and threw down his weapon, so angry that his teeth itched.
But at this moment, a burst of mana transmission suddenly came.
"Shi Gongzi, don't be impatient."
Shi Haoyuan was stunned: "Who are you?" ”
"I am Gu Yuntao, the left elder of the Gu family, that is, the person who was murdered by Gu Ming's beloved son, you and I have a common enmity with this Gu Ming, why don't you and I join forces and kill him together in this Tai'a Divine Ruins?"
Shi Haoyuan readily agreed: "How to join forces?" ”
"Shi Gongzi and continue to search for Gu Ming's traces in the mountains, I will immediately go up the mountain to support, and take advantage of Gu Ming's difficulty in getting out, send someone to arrest his sister Gu Ling, so that he can not take care of his tail, then you and I will work together to kill a Gu Ming, it is not easy to do it!"
Shi Haoyuan nodded, a sinister smile on his face.
Gu Ming, see if you don't die this time!
