More than a month has passed, and it is already the winter season, although it has not snowed, it is already a foggy cold day.

Afternoon. On the outskirts of the southern city of Chu County, mass graves.

Although Chu County is a relatively peaceful and prosperous city, in this Shura realm, no matter how peaceful and prosperous the city is, there is no shortage of people who have died. Whether it's because of war, vendettas, or poverty, there are always many people who die without a place to bury.

Legend has it that the people who died without a place to be buried were extremely yin, and in order to avoid the flying stiffness of great resentment, the government of Chu County and the Xiuzhen sect joined forces to bury all these corpses in the south of the mountain in the south of the city. The south side is where the sun is facing and receives the most sunlight. Both the government and the Xiuzhen sect hope to rely on the yang energy of the sun to dissolve the yin energy of the corpse. So, these corpses, which no one came to collect, were all concentrated in this hillside. Most of these corpses had no relatives or friends, and the burials were very sloppy, and it was called this area as a mass grave.

With the passage of time, the number of dead people increased, and the scope of mass graves gradually expanded, from a group of cemeteries that were originally only two or three miles long and wide, to a mountain of graves that stretched for several miles.

Although the mass grave is the most vigorous place of yang energy in Chu County, it still can't withstand the accumulation of yin energy and resentment. After the corpse qi and yin qi of these hundreds of years had accumulated to a certain extent in the mass graves, zombies still appeared, and even large tracts of corpse fog that had been stretched for miles blocked the sunlight on the southern hillside. Fortunately, with the joint seal of the cultivators of Chu County, the zombies in the mass grave did not appear particularly powerful. Only in the deepest part of the mass grave is said to be a flying zombie equivalent to the upper level of the ground, and on the periphery, there are all lowest-level ordinary zombies.

In front of a ruined mound, three green-faced and fanged zombies let out a low roar and chased after a white-shirted teenager. The boy carried a sword behind his back, but he fought with the three zombies empty-handed. Although these three are called zombies, their movements are not stiff, on the contrary, they have much faster speed than ordinary people. However, the boys who were their opponents were obviously a little faster, but they were always able to find a gap and get out of the way safely under their combined pounces. The three zombies had several charred wounds on their bodies, but they apparently didn't do much to their tough bodies.

Outside the battlefield of three corpses, a little black monkey was squatting on a broken tombstone, and he said again and again: "Stupid little brother, I didn't teach you to play hide and seek with these stupid people, why are you dodging them all! Could it be that you want to exhaust them to death? Although these stupid people have no ability, in terms of endurance, they are hundreds of times stronger than you." ”

The young man was Wang Xiao, and when he heard Lao Hei's lesson, he could only smile bitterly: "Big brother, I also want to fight back, but these zombies are not afraid of my attack at all, you have also seen it, I have hit them a few times, even if I hit their hearts, it is useless, their skin is so thick, my sword has no effect on them, my star falling technique has been used several times, and if they don't fall like this, I will use up the true yuan first......" "Stupid, zombies are not people, their key is only their heads!

Wang smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I, I also know, but, but when the fight started, who still remembers that ......" Wang didn't finish the joke, because he was distracted and dodged a little late, and the claws of a zombie had already caught him. Before the withered yellow nails were scratched, I only felt that I had already smelled a dizzying corpse stench at the tip of my nose. The dizziness made Wang Xiao's body move a little slower, and he was about to be caught by this disgusting zombie claw. Wang Xiao was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly poured the true yuan into his legs, using "a thousand miles without staying", and the whole person turned into a light wind, sliding back rapidly, which avoided the attack of the zombies.

Thousands of miles without leaving Wang Xiao's true yuan to consume rapidly, Wang Xiao secretly complained in his heart, knowing that he had been practicing for half a day today, and most of the accumulated true yuan had been consumed. If you can't defeat these three zombies quickly, then the result will end up with your true essence exhausted. Although with Lao Hei, relying on the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the middle of the Old Black Rank, he was several times faster than the cultivators of the lower rank of the other people in terms of the speed of recovering the True Yuan, but the total amount of the True Yuan was still only at the level of the lower human rank.

Fuck, do you have to let Lao Hei save himself again? Could it be that after more than a month of hard training, he is still the same waste who can only rely on others?

In the past month, Wang Xiao's physical training has been three points harder than the training before meeting Lao Hei. After a month of hard work, Lao Hei taught Wang Xiao all kinds of basic body techniques and movements, and he has been proficient. However, Wang Xiao, who grew up on a peaceful earth since he was a child, always lacked a ruthlessness when fighting enemies.

When encountering an enemy attack, he always instinctively chooses to escape. Even if Lao Hei said to himself several times, "Little brother, with your current kung fu, it is absolutely no problem to deal with those monsters who are in the lower ranks." "But I always drop the chain in actual combat, it is difficult to make an effective attack on a slightly stronger enemy, and I will forget the opponent's weakness because of nervousness, and I waste a lot of true yuan power in random attacks. Even every time you encounter an enemy who makes an attack that threatens you, your brain will be wooden, and the skillful combat skills you have practiced will suddenly be forgotten, and you can't think of a single move, and the only thing left is ...... Avoid.

I'm no longer suitable for soul cultivation, but don't I even have this talent for physical cultivation? Soul cultivation is a matter of physical fitness, but the only path I can take is physical cultivation, but I always make nervous mistakes when fighting, am I really a waste?

Wang Xiao was angry in his heart, and his anger towards himself made Wang Xiao lose his mind.

Lao Tzu fought with them!!

Wang Xiaomeng gritted his teeth, stopped the retreating body, and instead sent more Zhenyuan than just now into the lower plate, kicked his legs on the ground violently, and counterattacked.

The one who almost hit the king just now was the largest of the three zombies. Zombie battles rely on instinct, not intelligence or skill. Wang Xiao's non-retreat may cause other types of enemies to lose their minds, but for zombies, it only needs to attack again under instinctive control.

The big zombie roared, and the nails on his hands suddenly left his body, turning into ten bone spurs and shooting at Wang Xiao. At the same time, the other two zombies also surrounded him, roaring and smiling at the king.

Wang Xiao saw the ten bone spurs, and his body instinctively wanted to retreat and dodge, but at this time, the true yuan he poured into his legs and feet was a few points more than when he ran for his life.

The bleak wind carried by the ten bone spurs made Wang Xiao feel that death was so close to him!

Damn, why do you rush up in anger? This time, even if you are still exhausted by the consumed true yuan, you can at least save your life! Why do you have to fight hard?

No, you can't think like that! I can't hide under the protection of Lao Hei and Shi Niang forever! I must have my own strength! Haven't I always wanted to rely on myself?

But I can't help it now! How should I attack at this time? Forget it, it seems that it still can't be done now, find a way to defend it, anyway, Lao Hei will definitely come to save me.

Contradictory thoughts flashed in Wang Xiao's mind, but the ten bone spurs had already arrived in front of Wang Xiao. At this time, Lao Hei, who had been watching, still did not move.

What's going on? Why, why didn't Lao Hei make a move? Didn't he want to save me? Impossible! My life is linked to his life, and if I die, he won't live! Why didn't he do it?

In the past, when Wang Xiao was fighting monsters, if he encountered life-threatening danger, Lao Hei would always act in time to save Wang Xiao. To deal with these low-level monsters at the peak of the old black rank, it is easy to capture. But...... This time, Lao Hei didn't make a move!

The nearest bone spur grazed Wang Xiao's left ear, bringing out a string of blood beads, and at the same time, it also let a cold pain invade Wang Xiao's brain. At the same time, the second bone spur was less than a meter away from Wang Xiao's eyes. The shadow of the bone spur was reflected in Wang Xiao's pupils, getting bigger and closer. At this moment, Wang Xiao's mind seemed to be empty all of a sudden, whether it was doubt, resentment or chagrin, all disappeared, and in the entire sea of consciousness, only the fear of death and the desire for survival remained.

A snap of a finger is a thousand moments, and according to the modern way of calculating time, a snap of a finger is about a second, and a moment is about a microsecond.

So what can happen in a fraction of a microsecond?

Suddenly, in this month, the various combat skills and various moves that Lao Hei taught Wang Xiao appeared in Wang Xiao's mind like a computer screenshot. This moment was so long that these countless scenes played in Wang Xiao's mind again and again, and then, these pictures were suddenly all shattered, and they merged into Wang Xiaobai's vast sea of knowledge.

As if sleepwalking, Wang Xiao's eyes lost focus, but in the next moment, his body, which was sluggish in fear, suddenly became flexible.

Wang Xiao's eyes were blank, but his body made a move that could make all the gold medal gymnasts breathe. His body suddenly made an iron plate bridge backwards, but the castration did not decrease but increased, not only did he just avoid the second bone spur in front of him, but those subsequent bone spurs also shot close to Wang Xiao's abdomen, and this genius stroke leaned back, and at the same time, the other two zombies pounced. After dodging these attacks, Wang Xiao lightly pressed his left hand on the ground, changing the half-kneeling action to the action of shoveling the leg in the football, and kicked the calf of the big zombie at once.

The zombie is a monster that is very unstable in the next game, although this shovel leg can't cause much damage to the rough-skinned zombie, but it makes the big zombie's body lose its balance all of a sudden and fall to the ground. However, this zombie is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and while his body is crooked, he roars and turns his hand towards Wang Xiao on the ground.

Wang Xiao's eyes looked dazed, but his movements were unprecedentedly flexible, his left hand was propped up on the ground again, and he turned over and easily dodged the zombie's claws, and at the same time rose from the ground. With a dashing flip in the air, his right hand reached out, and his two fingers pressed on the zombie's cervical spine in the air, coldly spitting out three words: "Silver, star, fall." ”

A white light bloomed from Wang Xiao's fingertips, and at the same time, the head of the big zombie separated from its body under the bloom of white light.

A puff of scorching white smoke came out, and the headless zombie fell to the ground, never to be seen again. At this time, the remaining two zombies reacted and roared and smiled at the king again. For zombies, there is no such thing as fear.

Wang Xiao's eyes were blank, but the expression on his face was as cool as a terminator, not retreating, but rushing, towards a zombie on the left.

These two zombies are slightly smaller in size, and their movements are a little slower than their larger zombies. Wang Xiao lightly avoided the claw attack of the zombie on the left, swept it down with a sweeping leg, and the white light in his hand rose again and pressed on the back of the zombie's head on the left. The white light flashed, and the zombie's head was a pile of charred dregs.

Wang Xiao didn't pause at all, supported the ground with his left hand, and rushed towards the last zombie. The zombie didn't care about the end of its companion at all, and roared a tiger to pounce on Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao didn't even bother to use the "suspected silver star falling for nine days" this time, jumped high, avoided the zombie's attack and kicked the zombie over, and then pulled out the steel sword from behind, inserted it into the zombie's cervical vertebrae, shook his hand, and used a sword-shaking technique to cut off the zombie's cervical vertebrae, cutting off the head of the last zombie. This series of attacks was clean and neat, without wasting the slightest bit of true element mana.

After doing all this, Wang Xiao stood in front of the zombie who had lost his head, motionless. After a full five seconds, Wang Xiao suddenly shuddered, then sat down on the ground, even threw the sword in his hand, propped his hands on the ground and gasped for breath, cold sweat gushed out, and he was drenched in water.

After doing this for a while, Wang Xiao calmed down a little, turned his head tremblingly, looked at Lao Hei, and said incoherently: "Big, big brother, I, I, I'm ...... This is what I did?"

Lao Hei stared at Wang Xiao with his eyes, and nodded with a strange expression: "Stinky boy...... I seem to underestimate you, too. ”

Wang Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I, what happened to me just now?"

Lao Hei said suspiciously: "What, you don't remember?"

Wang smiled: "I remember, but, but why did I suddenly become so powerful?" As he spoke, Wang Xiao stood up, threw a few punches into the air, and then ended with a whirlwind side kick chain leg technique, the whole set of movements was like flowing water, beautiful and full of domineering. Wang Xiao looked at his hands in disbelief, and said happily: "Big brother, I, I seem to be really different." I don't know what's going on, but I suddenly seem to have forgotten everything, and all that is left in my eyes is the zombies, and everything around me is gone. It seemed to me that the movements of those zombies had suddenly slowed down, and the movement skills that I usually forgot when I was nervous appeared clearly in my mind. ”

Lao Hei said leisurely: "I've really heard of it, it is said that some people will comprehend a strange realm called 'nothing' on the verge of life and death. ”

"The strange realm of nothingness? is what I just did?"

"Not bad. Well, I don't know what the specific situation is, I haven't encountered that kind of thing, I just heard that some soldiers in extreme danger, will burst out of a state of forgetting all the emotions around them, leaving only themselves and the enemy, in this realm, they will not have the slightest emotion, not affected by any emotions, only their combat skills to the perfect play. This kind of realm is called ethereal by Taoists, and nothing by Buddhists. So, Ah Xiao, what the hell is going on here, you can study it yourself. Lao Hei said irresponsibly.

Wang Xiao, who has accepted the era of information explosion in the 21st century, faintly remembers that some top boxers and sanda athletes will indeed appear in such a state after fighting to the realm of selflessness. Completely surrender the body to instinct to control, and when fighting, instead of using the brain, you rely entirely on the instinct of the flesh. Even after their own consciousness was unconscious, they continued to stand and fight by instinct. To achieve such a state, it is necessary to go through extremely hard training, so that every movement you learn has been carved into the instincts of the flesh, and you must have absolutely tough nerves to withstand the mental pressure. Unexpectedly, under the pressure of survival, I reached this step......

Sure enough, people are forced out......

Wang Xiao sighed with emotion, he didn't know what to say, he only looked at his hands happily, recalling the comfort when he was fighting.

Lao Hei rarely didn't hit Wang Xiao, and only proudly stirred Wang Xiao's progress package on himself: "Not bad, stupid little brother, you can do this, you can finally overcome the mentality of the weak, and it is not in vain to cultivate!"

Wang Xiao touched his head embarrassedly and asked, "The mentality of the weak...... I'm still weak. ”

"Idiot, it's not the strength of your strength, it's a state of mind!" Lao Hei shouted unceremoniously: "In fact, for more than a month, I have taught you all kinds of combat skills and some basic movements. You can also be called diligent, and you must practice more than five hours a day, and you can be considered proficient in these skills. The reason why you haven't been able to use it before is not a matter of your foundation, but your spirit. ”

"Spirit?"

Lao Hei said proudly: "A warrior must have the spirit of a warrior." If you don't have the confidence and fighting spirit to be self-sacrificing in battle, no matter how strong your body is, you won't be able to exert your due strength! Whether you can play a true level in battle depends on whether you have a strong heart! If you lack fighting spirit in battle, no matter how powerful I teach you, you will still be just a waste. And to have the fighting spirit of a strong person, it is impossible to comprehend it without experiencing the moment of life and death. ”

Wang Xiao suddenly realized. No wonder Lao Hei didn't come to save himself just now, it turned out that he wanted to force himself to a life-and-death juncture, let himself burst out of his true strength, and realize the so-called "desperate".

"When the narrow road meets, the brave wins", I have heard this sentence for a long time, but I have never understood what it means. I had been living on a peaceful earth before, and I hadn't had much experience fighting, let alone fighting. And after coming to this world, he has always only taken "saving his life" as his basic idea, where can he experience the real "battle to the death"?

If it weren't for Lao Hei deliberately putting himself in a desperate situation just now, I am afraid that he would still not be able to comprehend the kind of realm he entered at the moment of life and death, the kind of fighting state where there is nothing but the enemy and himself, leaving all emotions behind, and absolutely calm. If you can't enter that state, you won't be able to give full play to the results of your cultivation for so long.

Wang Xiao recalled Fang Cai's feelings, only felt indescribably happy in his heart, looked at the smiling Lao Hei, and sincerely arched his hand: "Big brother, I am really grateful to you!" If it weren't for Lao Hei who let himself experience the pressure of death regardless of life and death, he would definitely not be able to enter that strange situation.

You must know that Lao Hei's life and death are linked to Wang Xiao, and putting Wang Xiao in danger is equivalent to Lao Hei risking his life.

Lao Hei didn't turn his head and didn't look at Wang Xiao's grateful eyes: "Go and go, don't come to this set, most of you were still blaming me for not helping you just now!"

Wang Xiao didn't care at all, he had been in contact with Lao Hei for so long, and he already knew that Lao Hei seemed to be very unaccustomed to his gratitude to him. Haha laughed, and was no longer so serious, so he kicked the corpse of the zombie with pride, and laughed: "Big brother, look at my junior brother, my qualifications are not bad, right! Hahahaha, I know that there is no way for heaven and man, although I am not naturally suitable for soul cultivation, but my performance just now is also talented!"

Lao Hei sneered: "What's amazing, it's just stupid." Do you think you can get out of this realm every time now? At least when you can enter this realm as you like, you can talk to me again. ”

"Hmph, for this genius, that's a matter of course!"

"Beets are not worth much, I like spicy food!"

One man and one monkey are bickering while starting to pack up the spoils of war.

Although the monsters at the lower level of the human rank often don't have much oil and water, no matter what, you can still find something on the monster's corpse that can be exchanged for money, which is also the basic survival method of people in the Shura world. Maybe it's really a good thing, in the body of the big zombie, Wang Xiao actually turned out a piece of jade pendant that was quite transparent and not damaged at all.

After some encounters, the protagonist has basic combat power, and the tense and intense plot is about to begin!
