Zhang Hao was originally an ordinary villager in the Dali Dynasty and a village in Qingshui County.

At the age of fourteen, both parents died in an accident.

And because he has few relatives by blood and is weak, he is often bullied by the villagers, and even his own land is taken away.

You can't do it, you can only go into the mountains to hunt to survive.

And when he was fifteen years old, when Zhang Hao went hunting in the mountains, he accidentally bumped into two mortal congenital masters who were fighting to the death because of a certain treasure.

In the end, the two of them died together, and Zhang Hao, who was hiding on the side, not only obtained the treasure, but also obtained two innate exercises for practicing physical body and internal force respectively, and since then he has embarked on the road of cultivation.

With the help of that treasure, it took him only two years to reach the Innate Realm, and he also met a monk by chance, and was fortunate enough to embark on the path of immortality, and even forcibly passed the test level designed by the Qingyun Sect three years ago and became an outer disciple.

From mortal to immortal, his experience is legendary. If he has a good talent, he will probably be able to go further.

However, it is a pity that during the spirit root detection, the spirit root detected by Zhang Hao was a five-spirit root, which was a pseudo spirit root.

Not only is the refining of spiritual energy very slow, but the spiritual energy required for promotion is far more than that of other monks, not to mention the exercises he cultivates, and the consumption of resources is even more massive.

If it weren't for that treasure, and the fact that he had gone to great lengths to become an alchemist, I am afraid that he would not have had any hope of building a foundation in this life.

However, even if he cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining, the hope of building a foundation was very slim.

After all, the Danfang of Zhuji Dan is strictly controlled, and Zhang Hao can't get it through normal channels at all.

Even if he obtained foundation-building spiritual objects such as immortal base fruits, and because of his talent, even if there were many foundation-building spiritual objects, the success rate of impacting foundation-building was still less than fifty percent.

It was because he could only focus on the foundation building secret method, and even did not hesitate to resist the pressure with several precious elixirs before he got this method.

Unfortunately, he was not the only one who was staring at this method, and although he had been careful to hide his tracks, he was still found and besieged.

In order to get rid of the pursuit, Zhang Hao had to use a second-order talisman won by the sect competition - [Lingyang Fire Talisman].

But there are also powerful characters among the pursuers, who dodge his fatal blow by means of life-saving means, and chase them relentlessly.

Even a place he chose at random to escape, only to be blocked by the monks who had heard the news.

'Damn...... If my Five Elements Spiritual Root attributes are uniform and mutually reinforcing, its talent can be compared to the peerless genius of a single spiritual root, but the strength of my spiritual root is uneven, restraining each other, and dragging down my cultivation......

If that weren't the case, why would I have to fight for the foundation building secret method to fall to such a point? ’

Seeing the monks besieging in front of him, Zhang Hao couldn't help but hate his talent in his heart.

However, after all, he has gone from a mountain village to the current monk, and his character is resolute, this thought only flashed in his mind, and he quickly corrected his mentality.

The most important thing now is to find an opportunity to break out. I still have a [Purple Thunder Bead] in my hand that I got from the last expedition to the cave, which can exert the power of the foundation building period......

But the problem now is that these people are staring at me, and if they do it, they will be alert, and when the time comes...... Well?! ’

Zhang Hao's eyes widened suddenly.

Because in front of him, a black-clothed monk with his back to him suddenly attacked a gray-robed monk.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but the next scene made his jaw drop in shock.

He has experienced a lot of battles between monks, and he has always stood on both sides, using spiritual weapons, talismans, and tricks to fight, but it was the first time he had seen the same strange battle in front of him.

Not only were the attacks unleashed by the gray-robed monk ineffective, but the other party even disappeared directly from a few meters away as if teleporting, appeared in front of the gray-robed monk, and directly choked his neck alive with his hand.

This battle gave him the feeling that it was as weird as an image in a mirror, suddenly reaching out and strangling the person in front of the mirror alive!

Ignoring attacks, teleportation, and even virtual and real transformation, this is a means that a Qi Refining Stage cultivator can master?!

'Wait, here's an opportunity!' Even though he was shocked, Zhang Hao, who had been in a hundred battles, quickly came back to his senses, and even keenly grasped this opportunity.

The other party's strange methods made everyone present very jealous, even if their goal was themselves, they would also pay a certain amount of attention.

And this is his chance to break through!

When the other person leaves the field, the others will subconsciously relax, and at that time, it is my time! As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hao immediately concentrated all his attention and stared at the work of the man in black!

'Five, six, seven...... Ten meters, this is the time! Seeing that the other party walked to the edge of the crowd, when everyone's hearts were relieved, Zhang Hao made a bold move!

Whew!

A large amount of lightning flashed, and in an instant, a ball of lightning was formed, and it continued to expand, engulfing everyone present in just a few seconds!

"Rush!" Zhang Hao held the defensive spirit weapon against it and let out a roar!

[Purple Thunder Bead] has been specially refined to avoid injury to the user.

Therefore, after this attack, everyone in the field was either killed or injured, and he was still in shape, so he could take this opportunity to escape!

As for counter-killing, as soon as the thought came to his mind, he was abandoned.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight back, but because the monks who can chase down here in the field all have a unique skill, even if they are seriously injured, it will take a certain amount of time to kill, and if someone else catches up at that time, it will be troublesome.

Whew!

Zhang Hao rushed out.

Remnants of lightning arced across his defensive weapon, revealing sparks and noises, and around him were charred corpses.

With no one to stop him, he quickly escaped from the encirclement.

"It's finally out!" escaped from the siege, even Zhang Hao, who has always been resolute, couldn't help but show a touch of joy.

He made a leap and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

"Whew—it's finally safe!"

After escaping a certain distance, Zhang Hao couldn't help but let out a long breath.

After all, being chased and killed, the feeling similar to walking a tightrope, is really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he finally escaped.

Looking at the beautiful moonlight, feeling the evening breeze blowing, and listening to the sound of the flute suddenly coming from afar, the nerves tense due to the pursuit and killing couldn't help but feel relaxed.

"The sound of this flute is inexplicably familiar, it feels like a lullaby hummed by my mother when I was young." Zhang Hao muttered, his eyes a little confused.

However, the next moment, his body froze inexplicably, because he quickly realized that something was wrong.

In this wilderness, where did the flute sound come from?!

And at this moment, Zhang Hao felt a cold chill suddenly coming from behind him.

He was tense, his hair stood on end, and he subconsciously turned his head.

But alas, it was too late.

Behind him, in a place where the moonlight could not cover, at some point, a tall and thin figure appeared like a ghost.

He held the dark red dagger in his hand, and before Zhang Hao could react, he stabbed him in the back fiercely!
