"What?!"

The old beggar was so frightened that he could hardly believe his eyes.

Obviously just a young man with strong blood and ordinary fist and foot kung fu, how did he suddenly become a master who can exhale into a sword?!

And judging by his appearance and age, he will not be more than eighteen years old at most.

How could anyone have reached such a state at such a young age?

It is impossible for the pride of the heavens on the abyss list to enter the realm so quickly!

How could such a peerless figure appear in this small Heyang county town?

And, what's the deal with that knife in his hand, which appeared out of thin air?

What kind of means is this?!

In just an instant, countless doubts flashed in the heart of the "old beggar", and he was terrified, planning to run away directly.

But then, he felt a buzz in his head, as if he had been hit by something heavy, and his whole body became dizzy, almost unsteady on his feet.

This is the power of the Black Tiger Dementor Knife to deter and stun!

At the same time—

Bang!

Hearing only a crisp sound, the stone wrapped in the strength of the "old beggar" was directly crushed by the white light, scattering into countless powders.

This white light was like a flying sword, leaving a long trail in the air, as if a knife was cutting tofu, easily piercing the eyebrows of the "old beggar".

The inside of its skull was completely ground, leaving a small trail of blood on the surface.

The "old beggar" froze directly in place, and then bled and died on the spot.

Lu Heng immediately felt that the killing intent in his heart was refined, and his mana increased.

Poof!

The body of the old beggar fell to the ground.

Until he died, his face maintained an expression of extreme shock, and his eyes were wide open and full of incredulity.

"......" was about to carry the Black Tiger Dementor Knife to kill Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, looking at the dead "old beggar" on the ground, he only felt a little crying and laughing, "What is this, I don't have any strength...... No, I just blew and you're dead? ”

The result was beyond his expectations.

After all, as soon as this old beggar appeared, he looked high, with a master's demeanor, and he thought he was a strong enemy, but he didn't expect to die all of a sudden.

"I don't know what kind of realm this person is." Lu Heng squatted down and touched the old beggar's body, but only found a black serpentine jade pendant, and nothing else, "Tsk, it's too poor, it's not as good as Cai Kang's armor." ”

And he didn't even have a token to prove his identity, and Lu Heng didn't know who the person he killed for a long time.

"I killed it too fast."

Lu Heng shook his head slightly, but he didn't regret it, if he did it again, he would still do it.

In the battle of life and death, the difference between the fast line and the slow line is like an abyss, and when it is time to kill decisively, it is necessary to kill decisively.

Can't hesitate.

Afterwards, Lu Heng took out the Inner Fire Pill Furnace and threw the corpse of this "old beggar" into it, only slightly infused with a little mana, and let the internal fire in it burn brightly, and in a blink of an eye, the old beggar was refined into ashes.

It's just that no essence of life is produced.

Because this is already a corpse, not a life.

But it's not for nothing.

Inside the ashes, he found a little light, and when he took it out, it was a bead with a pale golden glow.

It's only the size of a grain of rice, and it's very small.

It seems to be a certain bone, something special.

"Put it away first." Lu Heng shook his head, he couldn't recognize what it was, and turned his head to look at the room next to him, "Look at the situation at home." ”

Then he jumped onto the roof and quietly lifted the tiles to see what was going on inside.

But this look made his eyes stagnate, and he directly covered the tiles.

At this time, the mother Wang and sister Lu Qin in the house were dressing Pei Zhiqing who was in a coma.

For convenience, the clothes on the heroine's upper body have been faded to the waist of the mother and daughter, and she is lying on the bed, revealing her white and smooth back and shoulders.

It's just that there is a palm-sized wound on the left shoulder and the right side of the back, which is bloody, and it seems to be a hole, as if it was pierced by some hidden weapon.

"If it was a stone from the old beggar, the situation of this wound is more consistent."

Lu Heng thought for a moment about the old beggar's attack just now, and said secretly, "In this way, Pei Zhiqing's martial arts level should be relatively limited, so it should be more convenient to communicate."

"However, now is not the time to meet, you can wait until she wakes up before showing up."

He then jumped off the roof and rolled into an abandoned compound next door.

The compound was originally inhabited as well.

But two years ago, the state government sent forced labor to mine, and all the men in the family were arrested, leaving only a woman with a three-year-old child at home.

And that mine has long been overexploited and should have been abandoned, but in order to raise more iron ore forging weapons, Shangzhou Thorn Shi still ordered to continue digging.

It didn't take long for the mine to collapse, and thousands of conscripts died inside.

The men of the family were not spared.

When the woman got the news, she committed suicide by burning charcoal with her three-year-old child that night.

It took seven or eight days before it was discovered by Lu Heng's predecessor, who smelled the stench.

At that time, the two corpses were already seriously decomposed, and maggots were everywhere, leaving a great psychological shadow on Lu Heng's predecessor.

Later, no one came to this courtyard again, and they all said that there was a lot of resentment inside, and even beggars who were homeless and had to sleep on the streets did not dare to go into it for the night.

Lu Heng didn't care about these rumors.

In fact, the predecessor had a good relationship with the family, and there was an older brother who took good care of the predecessor among the men who were arrested to mine.

After the family died, the predecessor would go to the yard to burn paper to pay tribute to them on their death day.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for the predecessor to die in forced labor.

At this time, the yard farm tools and loom were still there, but they were already covered with dust and cobwebs.

In the past, the family was a man and a weaver, and if they didn't encounter a disaster year, their life would not be rich, but they were still passable, and no one would have thought that their family would suddenly be ruined.

"I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world." Lu Heng shook his head lightly, "In troubled times, you must be strong enough. ”

As soon as the thought moved, "The Secret of White Tiger Killing" appeared in his hand, and he began to look through the content of "Killing Swordsmanship" in it.

"Killing Swordsmanship", as a companion swordsmanship to "White Tiger Killing Secrets", can be performed as a close-quarters swordsmanship when the realm is low, and after the realm reaches the fourth layer of qi refining, it can be used as a swordsmanship, which is extremely powerful.

After reading it a few times, Lu Heng wrote down the moves of the entry stage, and swung the Black Tiger Soul Dementor Knife in his hand as a long sword to practice sword moves.

A moment later, a white light suddenly lit up on the Black Tiger Dementor Knife, the pitch-black blade trembled slightly, and the white light burst out and slashed on the ground three or four meters away, causing a "sword mark" with a length of nearly one meter.

"It's time to get started!" Lu Heng's eyes lit up, his sword aura burst out, and the sword marks were three feet, which was the sign of the introduction to "Killing Swordsmanship", and then he secretly said in his heart: "Deep Blue, add some to me!" No, give me the consumption of the road! ”

A month's worth of Taoism was cleared in an instant.

Immediately after, he felt that a scene of light and shadow appeared in front of his eyes, all of which were the sword moves of "Killing Swordsmanship".

Immediately, he seemed to be immersed in the spiritual world, appeared in a huge space, and began to practice "Killing Swordsmanship" day and night.

Time seems to have passed in this instant, a month.

When these countless lights and shadows dissipated, Lu Hengmeng came back to his senses, only to feel that his mastery of "Killing Swordsmanship" was quite pure, and it seemed that he had been cultivating for more than a month.

He was enlightened and happy.

"It turns out that this is the way to improve the cultivation progress of the Dao Protection Method with Dao Xing. Let me experience a month of non-stop cultivation day and night in an instant, and in essence, it is still the progress I have gained from cultivation, but it saves time in reality.

"Well, that's more to my liking than just adding a few upgrades, although on the surface it seems to be about the same."

After continuing to review the "Sword Technique of Killing" for a while, Lu Heng looked at the sky and found that it was still early, so he took out the "Wind Spell" again and began to study.

Anyway, when Pei Zhi comes to his senses, he is idle, and he is not allowed to practice more spells.

When the number of Dao Lines increases, you can directly improve the cultivation process of spells.

I have to say that the cultivation difficulty of spells is much greater than that of swordsmanship.

At dusk, Lu Heng barely got the "Wind Spell" introductory, and the success rate of casting spells was still very low, almost ten times before it could be done.

"Huh, good guy, this spell is really difficult enough, but fortunately, it's a beginner, so let's use the Tao to improve the spell in the future." He sighed in his heart, compared to the killing sword technique, the gap between this cultivation speed and the killing sword technique was too big.

At that moment, his ears suddenly moved, and he heard a sound from the other side of his courtyard.

Although Lu Heng was practicing swordsmanship and spells all day, he was also paying attention to the movements at home to avoid any accidents.

"This footstep should be Pei Zhiqing, she woke up."

Lu Heng made a judgment in his heart, and was about to leave this courtyard, but saw a woman in black jumping in from outside, and her eyes were on Lu Heng here.

In a sense, this is also an unexpected reunion.

Especially for Pei Zhiqing.

"Is that you?" The woman, who was still seriously injured, looked at Lu Heng in shock, and her heart was full of doubts.

Why do you keep meeting him?

"It's me." Lu Heng nodded lightly and asked with a smile, "Talk?" ”
