……

Ji Changkui's face was pale, he covered his chest with one hand, and looked at the sky in the distance with palpitations.

At this moment, the majestic back carrying the sword gate has disappeared, and even the coercion between heaven and earth is gone, as if it has never appeared.

However, perhaps only he, the main formation, can most clearly perceive the horror of that man, and he will never forget it in his life!

"Give me chase!"

Relieved, Ji Changkui roared with an ugly face, and led everyone to chase and kill him.

"You're alright!"

On the way to escape, Ji Ning turned his head to look at Qi Lan beside him, and saw that the young man's face was very pale at the moment, as if he had been coated with a layer of wax, and there was a snoring and wheezing sound in his mouth, it seemed that the injury was very unstable, and he was almost unable to hold on.

What's going on?

Ji Ning's pale face gradually recovered, and he couldn't figure out why Qi Lan was so seriously injured.

The man with the sword gate on his back, though intimidating and terrifying, did not deliberately target any of them, just as the sun, moon and stars in the sky rotated, not shaken by the ant bushes on the ground, and he suspected that the man did not even know about their existence.

He was just passing by.

And that Ji Changkui's formation blocked a small part of this world, so the man crushed it with one kick.

It's just an unintentional move.

Qi Lan's shriveled lips moved, and as he ran, he took out a pill and took it, with a bitter smile in his heart.

No one knew that he was actually the one who suffered the most from that coercion just now, because Ji Changkui's knife and the man's figure were almost at the same time, and he did not hesitate to use Canggu Zhong forcibly in order to protect himself.

But he didn't expect that as soon as Canggu Zhong appeared, he was about to fly into the air to suppress everything, but he was stepped on back by the man, and the terrifying coercion directly suppressed Canggu Zhong, and the internal aura was all blocked.

Even on the surface of Canggu Bell, there was a trace of cracks!

"At least, it has to be a powerhouse of the Seven Realms!"

Qi Lan was silent, whether it was the Canggu Bell or the formation, to that man, it was like a breeze to an eagle falcon, and the resistance to advance was almost negligible.

"Stop!"

Just when Qi Lan was still immersed in the coercion of the peerless powerhouse's back, Ji Changkui and the others in the rear finally caught up, and in an instant, they pulled to a distance of twenty steps, roaring and slashing out.

"Be careful!"

Ji Ning's expression was awe-inspiring, and he took the initiative to turn sideways to protect Qi Lan behind him, folding his hands in front of his chest, and supporting a barrier with aura and starlight.

Bang!

That huge sword light slashed above the starlight barrier, and the terrifying force instantly pressed on Ji Ning's shoulders, and then suddenly exploded, setting off a big storm in the space.

Ji Ning's face was solemn, and he was shocked back a few meters, and a small hole was cracked on the starlight barrier in front of him.

Many cultivators of the Kuizi Adventure Group were also affected by this sword light explosion, and they all stopped to resist.

And it was at this time that Ji Ning seized the opportunity, grabbed Qi Lan's right shoulder, and quickly rushed out more than ten steps away with him.

"That guy is very strong, at least in the Condensation Realm!"

Ji Ning's face was slightly pale, and on the way to escape, he couldn't help but glance down at his left hand, and a little blood pattern appeared on the back of his hand.

Although the knife was stopped by him, there was still a great force that pressed against him through the barrier.

Fortunately, his physical body can still resist, if it is Qi Lan, who is weak at the moment, to take this knife, I am afraid that he will be crushed directly!

"There are signs of fighting everywhere around here, and it seems that just last night, something terrible happened, the camp was attacked, and it wasn't just us!"

Taking a breath, Qi Lan's state was obviously stable, he held the golden knife, and looked around with an ugly expression, only to see that the woods in all directions were full of demon beasts and human stumps, mixed with each other.

Such a large-scale battle, more than one battlefield, is obviously not something that a small group of them can make.

The only explanation is that there was a beast tide last night.

I wonder if the camps of other adventure groups have suffered disasters in addition to this area?

Ji Ning naturally saw those things clearly, he was silent and didn't speak, just struggled to hurry, he and Qi Lan made a lot of movement last night, this scale of beast tide, I don't know if it will be related to them.

"The top priority is to find out where Brother Xue is."

Qi Lan weakly took out a small compass from his arms, and under the urging of the aura, the pointer on it kept jumping, and finally stopped in the north direction.

"I don't know if it's accurate, so let's go here."

Ji Ning nodded, remembering that when he met Xue Zhongjing just now, the latter told him about the rules here.

The small adventuring group can only stay in the south of the outer part of Xiushan, if there is a beast tide breaking out, it will be the first to suffer, and there are several large forces stationed in the north of the periphery, which is relatively safe.

Now, it seems that the south has almost all been lost, and if Xue Zhongjing and the others are alive, they will definitely run to the north.

It's just that I don't know, those big forces that have set the rules, especially the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group that robbed them before, will open up to them?

Ji Ning frowned, the current situation was really critical.

It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, Ji Changkui and others are in hot pursuit, and they can't get rid of it in a short time.

Ahead, a short walk will be to the realm of the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, what should I do?

"You don't have to die in the past, but you can't stop it."

Qi Lan also seemed to see Ji Ning's worries clearly, and said weakly.

Ji Ning also nodded, his eyes were firm, and he continued to gallop forward.

As time passed, the two sides fought several more times.

Seeing it, Ji Ning was about to lose his support.

In front of them, at the tip of the mountain, a tent faintly appeared.

"Someone!"

……

……

Meanwhile.

The periphery of Xiushan is northern, and the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group is under the jurisdiction of the camp.

On the hillside, it was crowded.

Large and small, countless scattered cultivation teams sat on the ground along a mountain spring, they all experienced the beast tide last night and fled in advance, and they were simply placed in this place according to the orders of the big boss of the Huanglong Adventure Group.

"Still no news?"

Xue Zhongjing looked tired, looked at Zhen Xixi, who hurriedly ran back, and asked.

The woman's clothes were disheveled, and the animal skins on her shoulders had long since been thrown away, and the snow-white shoulders were stained with dust and blood, and her hair was messy and very embarrassed.

Apparently a big war has just been experienced not so long ago.

"Nope."

"I inquired about more than 20 teams of all sizes along the way, including those scattered cultivators, but I didn't find the two of them."

"Hmph, two deserters, maybe they'll die a long time ago!"

On the side, Jiang Hailiu, who was covered in wounds, leaned against the stone, leisurely gnawed on a beast leg in his hand, and mocked presumptuously.

His voice immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Zhen Xixi gritted his teeth and stared at Jiang Hailiu:

"Jiang Hailiu, what do you mean!"

"Qi Lan has followed Brother Xue from the beginning to the south, and he has killed demon beasts for our palace more than once, but now you curse him to death!"

Hearing Qi Lan's name and thinking of the other party's fast and fierce golden knife, Jiang Hailiu's expression of leisurely eating beast legs suddenly paused, and he seemed to be a little afraid.

But then, as if he remembered something, he looked at Zhen Xixi again and said with a smile:

"May I ask this Miss Zhen, who has always secretly admired Qi Lan, Qi Lan, who has made great achievements in your mouth and followed Head Xue to the north and south, where are the others now?"

Without waiting for Zhen Xixi to speak, Jiang Hailiu stretched his waist again, got up with a smile and said loudly to everyone:

"Qi Lan and that kid ran away halfway, that's a fact!"

"Last night, after I finished my night, I was supposed to go to that kid to keep vigil, but others left their posts without permission and ran away with Qi Lan!"

"I guess they must have sensed the danger early, and then ran away on their own, and then wanted to come back and pick up what was in our pockets, and you still want to go against such a treacherous person who stabbed us in the back!"

"Shut up!"

Zhen Xixi scolded angrily.

"Qi Lan is definitely not that kind of person, he must have his reason for leaving!"

"As for the vigil, I clearly heard that you are the one on duty in the middle of the night, so the two of them left, and there is no such thing as leaving the vigil without permission!"

Seeing that the lies he made up were exposed, Jiang Hailiu was not annoyed, and said with a smile:

"What you heard is fake, we temporarily changed it last night."

"Besides, it's a fact that the two of them left without reporting, which has caused our team to suffer huge losses, we died in the beast tide last night, can't you scold!"

"That's the beast tide is too violent, what does it have to do with Qi Lan!"

"Of course it matters, if Qi Lan is here, he can at least play a role, take care of each other, and the casualties will definitely be reduced, and he doesn't know where he fled without permission, so I said that he killed Brother Jiang, isn't it!"

Jiang Hailiu's face was full of anger, and he shouted loudly, and his voice even attracted the attention of other adventure groups, and they all came forward to watch the excitement.

"You!"

Zhen Xixi's face turned pale, and he was extremely angry by Jiang Hailiu's crooked reasoning, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute it in a short time.

After all, Qi Lan and Ji Ning did disappear inexplicably.

"Okay, everyone is gone, don't worry about it anymore!"

Seeing that there seemed to be a trend of war between the two, Xue Zhongjing, who had been silent, stood up in time.

He and Qi Lan have known each other for two years, and they have experienced many battles together during this period, although they are not particularly good friends in private, but when hunting monsters, they are definitely subordinates or partners who can trust each other.

Qi Lan must have his reason for leaving.

But it is impossible for him to say this kind of thing in public, because now in the adventure group, almost everyone except Zhen Xixi has a very big opinion of Qi Lan and Ji Ning.

Last night's beast tide was too violent.

Even though they discovered the anomaly early and withdrew from the camp, they were still caught up by the beast tide halfway through, and had to start fighting and retreating, suffering heavy casualties.

Along the way, they encountered many teams that did not evacuate in time, and all of them were swallowed up by the beast tide.

"Xue Zhongjing, what's going on here!"

At this time, on the other side of the stream, a greasy, fat, bald man with a naked upper body suddenly came up, rubbing walnuts in his hands, and two guards beside him, it seemed that his identity was not simple.

"Three masters!"

Seeing the comer, all the scattered cultivation teams on both sides of the stream were all dazed.

The goatee man with the walnut rubbing, named Huang Quan, is one of the five largest forces trapped in Xiushan, and the third leader of the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group.

"Seven people were seriously injured and thirty-six were lightly injured."

Xue Zhongjing saw the comer, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he responded lightly.

These three masters, Huang Quan, are old rivals with him, and when he was young, he worked in an adventure group, and there were many conflicts because of the competition for resources.

Most of the time it was he who won.

However, more than ten years later.

Seeing Huang Quan again, although the latter's realm was still not as high as him, he joined the famous Imperial Dragon Adventure Group.

And I don't know by what means, he has achieved three masters, and there must be more than 100 monks under his hands who listen to his mobilization, and all of them are strong people who often lick blood at the knife edge!

It was for this reason that when they were fighting for the ruins that day, they would retreat without a fight!

"Oh, that's just a little dead, tsk."

Huang Quan rubbed the walnuts, and a hint of sarcastic ridicule appeared on his face, which was full of meat.

Back then, he couldn't compete with Xue Zhongjing, whether it was a woman or chance, but now the gap between the identities of the two has widened.

Although, his realm is still inferior, it is only the middle realm of condensation, a small realm lower, but he has the support of the third-stage big brother behind him!

"What do you mean by that?" Zhen Xixi was already angry, and when he heard Huang Quan mocking him like this, he immediately couldn't help but refute, but he was pulled behind by Xue Zhongjing.

"No!"

Looking at Xue Zhongjing's eyes, Zhen Xixi's face turned pale, and he stopped talking, not daring to say more.

When Huang Quan saw this scene, there was more smile on his face, watching Xue Zhongjing eat deflated was his favorite thing to do.

"Zhen Xixi, right, although she wears a little rustic, her figure and face are good."

Huang Quanse stared at the deep ravine, revealing the yellow teeth in his mouth, as if saliva was about to flow out.

The undisguised look in his eyes made Zhen Xixi feel a chill in his heart, and he hurriedly took two steps back and covered it with his hands.

"In this barren mountain range, there is still some time before you go out, and it seems to be a good choice to eat wild meat."

"Little girl, sleep with your uncle for a few nights, and I'll pay you two low-grade spirit stones, how about it?"

"Whew!" Zhen Xixi's face was pale, his hands were a little shaky when he was angry, and he didn't care about anything, he directly pointed at Huangquan's disgusting fat face and scolded:

"I'll give you two low-grade spirit stones, hurry up and get away for the old lady!"

"You dare to scold me?"

Huang Quan's eyes narrowed, and he rubbed his bulging belly like a ball, and said with a cold expression:

"Even your regimental commander doesn't dare to talk to me like this, do you believe that I will correct you on the spot, and then throw you into the pile of men, and let you sleep with my brothers for three days and three nights?"

As he spoke, beside Huang Quan, the two imposing men released their breath, they were both in the Silver Bone Realm, and they had been through a hundred battles, their eyes were locked on Zhen Xixi, as if they were about to rush up and kidnap her in the next moment.

For a while, Zhen Xixi's body trembled, and he was suddenly a little afraid.

In the team, some monks who secretly admired Zhen Xixi were also silent, and Jiang Liuhai could only clench his fists silently, not daring to make any moves.

"I think ......"

Just when Xue Zhongjing frowned and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

On the hillside in the distance, there was a sudden burst of sword light, and the explosion set off a violent wind and waves of smoke and dust, engulfing everyone's figures.

"Who!"

Huang Quan pulled his rough throat, his eyes widened, and he followed the voice vigilantly, thinking that someone had attacked him, and Xue Zhongjing and the others were also stunned.

This is the territory of the Imperial Dragon Adventure Group, and the rules have already been established, who dares to fight here?

Before everyone could react, a familiar voice sounded.

In the smoke and dust, Ji Ning, who was full of disarray, grabbed Qi Lan and rushed out, shouting in horror:

"Captain Xue, help!"
