Chapter 14 Tasks
The spring wind gently caresses every corner of the Tianwu Continent, the breath of cold winter has been completely blown away by the warm spring breeze, and now in a luxurious room of the Zheng family, the imperial city of the Spirit Kingdom, Gao Han is sitting cross-legged, after this period of continuous fighting and cultivation, Gao Han feels that he is close to breaking through, so he takes the liberty of saying goodbye in the hall of the Zheng family, just to break through the strength with all his might!
The internal qi of Gao Han's whole body runs wildly in the meridians, and finally returns to the dantian, and then absorbs the aura in the air, turns into his own internal qi, and then returns to the dantian after operation, and so crazy over and over again.
Gao Han gradually felt that his dantian was almost full, and it was only a layer of paper away from the middle of the ninth layer of condensation, as long as he poked it gently, it would be broken, but Gao Han did not rush to break through, but calmed down and condensed his heart.
In this way, another half an hour passed, and suddenly Gao Han's body was like a wild beast, frantically devouring the aura in the air, and the air around this building was almost swept away. And Gao Han's cultivation broke through to the middle stage of condensation at that moment, and then as Gao Han continued to devour the aura, Gao Han's cultivation also continued to grow, until the peak of the ninth layer of condensation, Gao Han finally stopped devouring the aura and slowly opened his closed eyes.
A cold white light actually flashed in Gao Han's two deep eyes, and then he recovered, as if the white light just now was not emitted by Gao Han, and Gao Han himself didn't know it.
opened his eyes completely, and with a flick of Gao Han's legs, he had fallen to the ground on the **. Feeling his own realm and his own strength slightly, he sighed slightly, and sighed: "I don't know why, after the physical body mutation, the energy needed in the dantian is more and more, otherwise I can be promoted to the peak of condensation in the situation just now! And the requirements for cold qi are even more urgent! Now that winter has passed, my cultivation speed has slowed down a lot! I really hope it will always be winter!"
Gao Han calmed down his mood, he had just broken through, if he suffered so much, it would be very easy to go mad, because at this time his realm had not been consolidated, and the ups and downs of his mood were the most likely to produce demons.
"Now I need to consolidate my current cultivation, and then see how far the Cold Mountain Palm and the Spirit Breaking Sword Technique have grown!" Gao Han didn't care if he was sitting cross-legged on the dirty ground, consolidating his current cultivation!
Another half a day passed, Gao Han finally got used to his current cultivation, pushed the door and walked out of his room, and now he lives in Zheng Kong's courtyard.
Zheng Kong's courtyard has two floors, Gao Han now lives on the second floor, when Zheng Kong brought Gao Han here, Gao Han couldn't help but sigh, it's still a disciple of the big family. You must know that in the Gao family, even if Gao Han is the son of the head of the family, it is just two rooms, inside and outside. Looking at Zheng Kong's courtyard again, there are eight rooms on the first floor, and the area of each room is twice as large as that of Gao Han's house!
In the courtyard downstairs, Zheng Kong is waving his Qi Mei stick, the long stick is flying up and down, the stick shadow is heavy, impermeable, the Qi Mei stick is waving quickly in Zheng Kong's hands, and his eyes can't keep up with the speed of the long stick flying, just like a round black shadow, and finally Zheng Kong jumped high "A stick to the sky" Zheng Kong roared, the long stick slashed down fiercely, and in the piercing sound of breaking the air, "boom", like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the long stick smashed the stone paved road in the courtyard. From the knock out, there were traces of the way, and in the middle of the whole stone left a stick mark as deep as a foot, and its power can be seen.
After Gao Han saw this scene on the second floor, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, and then he turned over directly from the second floor and landed firmly on the ground, leaving only two faint footprints on the ground, Gao Han carried his hands behind his back: "Zheng Kong, let's two try it out!"
Zheng Kong heard a voice behind him, and immediately looked back vigilantly, and saw that it was Gao Han, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Han, don't make fun of me, buddy, we're not stupid, isn't fighting with you looking for abuse?"
Gao Han stretched out his hands and shook them in front of Zheng Kong: "I don't use weapons, how?" Zheng Kong's head shook like a drum, and he shouted while retreating: "Help! Bully! Who will save me......
The shout was simply a subdued frustration, just like a powerless little girl encountering a powerful **. Gao Han's head was covered with cold sweat, and finally he weakly held his forehead with his hand, and was about to say something, when a hearty voice accompanied the appearance of a handsome young relative and passed into Gao Han's ears.
Although the body of the visitor is thinner than Zheng Kong, but compared with Gao Han, he still looks very strong, and a silver armor tightly envelops the strong body, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Zheng Yunqing and Zheng Kong: "Who can bully my little brother who is not afraid of heaven and earth? It's really not easy!"
With a smile on his face, the man walked into Zheng Kong's courtyard, and as his body moved, the nail leaves on the man's body collided with each other and made a heavy sound. Zheng Kong saw that the ** appearance disappeared immediately, and changed it to a disgusting smile.
"Big brother, hehe, why do you have time to come to the Humble House today! Didn't my father ask you to investigate the case of the massacre of a village near Chixia City? Could it be that the robbers did it?" It turned out that this person was Zheng Kong's eldest brother and the eldest son and grandson of the Zheng family, Zheng Ling, but Zheng Kong seemed to be obviously more afraid of his brother.
Zheng Ling shook his head, looking at Gao Han with a warlike expression on his face: "As soon as I got home, I heard my father say that you brought back a demon genius back to the family, so I can't wait to go to your residence to have a look. I want to have a try with your brother, you don't mind, second brother!"
Although Zheng Ling's every sentence was said to Zheng Kong, his eyes were always staring at Gao Han, how could Gao Han not know the meaning, Gao Han smiled heartily: "That's what I mean!"
Zheng Ling got what he wanted, and was naturally overjoyed: "Okay, the second brother will borrow your courtyard for use!" After speaking, he hugged Gao Han with a fist: "Zheng family, Zheng Ling is really a layer!" Gao Han also returned the salute: "Gao Han, condensate the ninth layer!"
"Be careful!" As soon as the words fell, Zheng Ling's right hand clenched tightly, and with a momentum of moving forward bravely, he hit Gao Han. Gao Han was naturally not to be outdone, his right hand turned his internal qi, and he slapped Zheng Ling's fist with one palm, and his palms and fists were connected, and he was full of energy!
Zheng Ling only felt a stream of cold internal qi pouring into his body from the other party's palm, and his heart sank: "Father guessed right, this son is really an ice physique!" But after all, he is a true powerhouse, and the true qi in his body is not comparable to internal qi, so as soon as the strength of his body was shocked, he shook out that cold internal qi.
Knowing the nature of Gao Han's internal qi, Zheng Ling naturally would not be as careless as he was just now, his left hand was full of true qi, and a palm was imprinted on Gao Han's chest, Gao Han raised his left leg and bent his knee to block the menacing palm, and his left palm roared with an iceberg.
Zheng Ling only felt a cold air attacking his right arm, and hurriedly squatted down, his left leg swept away the thousands of troops, Gao Han's body did a side flip, his right hand bent his fingers into a sword, and he used his hand instead of the sword to use the galloping spirit, and slashed towards Zheng Ling's arm, the cold internal qi was immediately as sharp as a sharp blade, Zheng Ling's lower body hurriedly changed his posture, and his legs stopped and swept castrated, like taking root under his feet, he squatted half-squatting, and his fists were full of true qi and struck upwards with the momentum of the sky.
Gao Han's sword fingers slashed across Zheng Ling's fists, leaving a little bloodshot on Zheng Ling's fists, and Gao Han was also shocked by the strength of this punch and turned several heels in the air, and finally fell to the ground and still took three steps backwards, leaving three clean and visible footprints on the ground!
Zheng Ling struggled to punch out of thin air as soon as Gao Han landed, and the strong true qi formed a fierce fist, striking towards Gao Han.
Gao Han knew that this palm was not simple, and the internal qi in his body was concentrated on the sword finger - galloping and breaking the spirit, and one finger slashed towards the fist. The fist strength collided with Gao Han's fingers, and after a pause, Gao Han was knocked back five steps, and the fist strength also dissipated in the air.
Gao Han raised his head and looked at Zheng Ling opposite in surprise: "Two strengths?" Zheng Ling was also very surprised: "Brother is worthy of being an immortal genius, just now it was my Zheng family's top-level martial art "Volley Triple Strength", I just practiced to the second strength. Although I used my hole cards, I'm afraid you're still not my opponent, brother!"
Gao Han frowned: "I want to hear about it!" "I fought with you just now, and I only used seventy percent of my strength! So I said that this victory probably still belongs to me!"
Gao Han shook his head slightly when he heard this: "If you fight before tonight, what you said is indeed not wrong, but now ......" Speaking of this, Gao Han's momentum suddenly burst out, and it was the peak of the middle stage of the ninth layer of condensation!
"I didn't use all my strength just now! I don't know who the victory belongs to!" Zheng Ling's eyes were slightly stunned when he saw this situation, you must know that hiding your strength and hiding your cultivation are completely different things. You already have the strength, it's good not to use all your strength when fighting, it's called hiding. But cultivation is different, it needs to be suppressed with part of its own strength, so if it really fights, I'm afraid it will still be Gao Han who has the upper hand. This thought made Zheng Ling feel stunned, you must know that you are not an ordinary true level martial artist, with a family heirloom technique, you can fight with two ordinary martial artists with the same cultivation without falling behind! But today he was defeated by this sixteen-year-old boy, and his cultivation was also a realm different from himself.
At this time, Zheng Kong's pig-like howl sounded: "No, you, you're too bullying, you broke through in less than half a month after you met!" And it was from the peak of the early stage of the ninth layer of condensation to the peak of the middle stage, oh my God, this ...... who suffered a thousand knives" Before Zheng Kong finished speaking, he asked Gao Han to kick him.
Zheng Ling calmed down his turbulent heart, and the dumbfounded expression on his face was replaced by a smile: "Senior brother, there is something I want you to ask you to help my Gao family once!"
"Please tell me something!" "Well, at this time, the matter is very important, so let's ask the senior brother to go to the hall and discuss with my father!"
The three of them walked all the way through the long corridor to the Zheng family hall.
"Nephew Gao Xian, please sit down, are you in the habit of living here?" As soon as he entered the hall, Zheng Yunqing smiled at Gao Han from the main seat. At this time, Zheng Ling instructed the servants next to him to call them to breakfast.
While Zheng Yunqing kept talking to Gao Han, the servant brought breakfast. After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Zheng Yunqing began to talk about business.
"Virtuous nephew, my Zheng family needs your help with something!" Zheng Yunqing went straight to the point, and said to Gao Han with a stern expression.
"I don't know what can help Uncle Zheng in the future, Uncle Zheng commands!" At this time, Zheng Ling picked up the conversation, "That's it, a few days ago, my father sent me to investigate the tragedy of a village around Chixia City, nearly 100 lives in that village were slaughtered, at first we thought it was a robber, but this time I went to investigate and found that the corpse of the villager was not a single one and there was not a single knife mark on the whole body, and all the causes of death were either scratched to death by sharp claws, or bitten to death by sharp teeth!
Gao Han was a little puzzled: "The survival of this village should have little impact on the upper class, so why not let the lower ones solve it themselves?"
"This is because there have been more than ten villages in the vicinity before this, and each village is close to the Hengyuan Valley, we will report this matter to the Lu family! The Lu family issued a mission, ordering the four major families plus the royal family, each family to produce a true martial artist, and six martial artists of the ninth layer of condensing qi to go to the Hengyuan Valley to check! If there is a sign of a beast tide, hurry back and report it, and several of us will gather masters to protect Chixia City!" Zheng Yunqing explained.
At this time, Zheng Kong spoke: "Why are you working so hard, just send a few people to investigate!"
Gao Han pondered for a moment: "You don't think that there are treasures born in the Hengyuan Valley, right?" Zheng Yunqing finally smiled: "Gao Xian's nephew is really wise and brave! Yes, the Hengyuan Valley has been famous for producing herbs since ancient times. If it weren't for the beast tide this time, it was very likely that a rare drug was born, causing a large number of nearby demon beasts to rush there. It can be a medicinal herb that can be tempting to the demon beasts within a radius of ten miles, but it is definitely not an ordinary product. How could such drugs fall into the hands of others, and it was impossible for them to swallow them alone, so they discussed exploring together!"
Gao Han thought thoughtfully: "So Uncle Zheng asked me to go, because my strength is comparable to Huazhen, then we will have two Huazhen!"
"Yes, what do you think?"
"Okay! I agreed! But after this time, I need 400,000 taels of silver tickets, how about it?" After all, it is a mutually beneficial relationship, and Gao Han can't do it for nothing!
Zheng Yunqing smiled arrogantly: "Okay, it's just 400,000 taels! Okay, nephew, you go and prepare, and you'll set off tomorrow!" Gao Han and Zheng Kong came out of the hall and walked towards Zheng Kong's courtyard.
Gao Han also has his own purpose in taking this task, he has to do something for the other party when he forms an alliance first, and he also needs a lot of silver to buy weapons. The most important thing is that the Hengyuan Mountain Range is as Zheng Yunqing said, famous for all kinds of medicinal herbs, and now Gao Han wants to improve his strength as much as possible, it is too slow to rely on cultivation alone, although the help of external objects may lead to unstable foundations, but Gao Han has not used medicine to improve his cultivation for several years, and the foundation is already very strong, and it is beneficial to use medicine on this basis!
Just as the two of them were about to approach Zheng Kong's courtyard, a beautiful figure blocked in front of the two: "Stop, take your life!" With that, a gun shadow smashed towards Zheng Kong from top to bottom.
Gao Han was looking down to think about things, when he heard the sound of people, he was suddenly awakened, the long sword with a scabbard, shook the sword and stabbed.
"Brother Han, don't!" Zheng Kong shouted anxiously, the long stick in his hand struck at Gao Han's long sword, but how could his speed compare to Gao Han, who had cultivated light skills, and the other party's seemed to be stupid, holding the spear motionless.
Fortunately, when Gao Han heard Zheng Kong's voice, he knew that the other party was definitely not a thief, so he hurriedly turned back, but although the sword was withdrawn, the castration could not be stopped immediately.
In the end, Gao Han finally tried to stop in front of the other party, and the two faces were only a finger apart, and it was estimated that the two would kiss after another gust of wind.
Gao Han looked down at the other party's watery eyes in a daze, although Gao Han's strength was strong, but after all, he was an untrained teenager, and he seemed a little panicked when he encountered this kind of thing!
I only heard a scream as high as eighty decibels, sounding from the opposite side: "Ah......**Ah!" A black shadow flashed, and with a "snap", five finger prints appeared clearly visible on Gao Han's left face.
Gao Han's speed could have been dodged, but at that moment, he was also stunned, and he didn't dodge, so he had to be slapped like this.
Gao Han's face quickly turned cold, and the murderous aura flashed in his eyes. Although he was also at fault in this, he didn't make contact with it after all, and if he hadn't put away his sword in time, the other party would have been lying on the ground and becoming a cold corpse! Such an indiscriminate slap is how Gao Han can accept it.
Zheng Kong knew that something bad was going to happen when he saw this, others didn't know Gao Han, he knew it. Although Gao Han is very easy-going, if someone wants to humiliate him and hurt him, then he will definitely not die! This is the master who will draw his sword and kill people if he disagrees. And the eldest lady on the other side seems to occupy both sides.
"Xiao Yan! Why are you so rude! Hahaha, everyone is misunderstood! This is Gao Han, the Zheng family's guest, my brother Han! This girl...... Eh, cough cough, beauty, um! The beauty is my cousin, Situ Yan, the pearl of the Situ family! Let's get to know each other!" Seeing that the two of them were still staring at each other, they couldn't help but feel helpless. In the end, Gao Han's skills are superior, Situ Yan looked at Gao Han's hateful face and terrifying eyes, and couldn't help choking with fright.
Situ Yan on the opposite side can be described as a national color and natural fragrance, ice muscles and jade bones, bright teeth and bright eyes, and her figure is not picky, with a slender figure, concave and convex, and a small waist in her hand. Most men can't help but have that evil idea when they see it, of course it's impossible to look at each other coldly, but today she met Gao Han.
In Gao Han's eyes, the first thing he saw were two kinds of people: his own people and his enemies! Then there were men and women, beautiful and ugly, good and evil...... Now in this situation, even Zheng Kong thought that Gao Han had listed his cousin in the enemy's row.
Gao Han's palm gradually tightened the hilt of the long sword, if the Gao Han long sword was unsheathed, then Situ Yan would die here, Zheng Kong's strength would definitely not be able to stop Gao Han's sword!
