Chapter 196: The Sword That Kills
Tianmang Mountain is one of the three main mountain ranges and is rich in elixir spirit animals. Two-thirds of the cultivation resources of the ancestral hall came from Tianmang Mountain. Therefore, this third assessment is to allow students to collect more spiritual flesh, elixir, beast blood, and even all kinds of rare treasures. Whoever collects more wins.
This is a full test of the comprehensive strength of a monk. In Tianmang Mountain, any danger can be encountered. When facing danger, it is the most test of a person's willpower and judgment, and also a test of a person's comprehensive strength. The Ancestral Palace's formulation of such an assessment project is based on careful consideration and a reality test for tens of thousands of years. Many geniuses from the cultivation sect will have some common problems to a greater or lesser extent, that is, they think very highly of themselves and don't know the dangers outside.
These geniuses, they went smoothly, cultivated all the way and broke through, and were sought after and admired by countless people, so that they were not aware of the danger outside. Once they encounter a very big danger, they will often be in a hurry, which will affect the play of strength. Sometimes, their cultivation is very high, but their strength is not the strongest, and they are easily killed by monks with rich combat experience.
Based on these experiences and lessons, the ancestral hall attaches great importance to the actual combat ability of the disciples of the sect, and when recruiting new disciples, it also looks at the comprehensive strength performance of the disciples. Since the realization of this assessment project, the disciples who came out of the ancestral hall are often very strong, crushing the same realm all the way, and even surpassing the record of challenging the strong. It's just that the ancestral hall stipulates that disciples who go out to travel or set up their own doors are not allowed to use the signboard of the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall will not give these disciples any form of help. This made many big factions, or other cultivation powerhouses, not aware of the terrifying nature of the ancestral hall. Except for the big factions that knew the history of the ancestral hall, the rest of the Xiuzhen sects and vassal states didn't know much about the past of the ancestral hall, and they didn't compare the ancestral hall with other powerful Xiuzhen sects.
The assessment elders of each team distributed a warning jade plate to the corresponding disciples, and an elder who seemed to be the leader said in a deep voice: "This identity jade plate is your life protection card when you are in danger. If you feel that your life is in danger, you can crush this jade plaque, and then you can block any deadly attacks for you. The Dharma Protector Elders of our ancestral hall will soon appear before you and take you out of the dangerous place. Did you hear it all clearly?" looked at each candidate coldly.
"Hear me clearly. All the candidates said loudly.
Li stood there calmly, suddenly felt a pair of sharp eyes looking at him, tilted his head slightly, saw Ying Zheng on the side, a sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a powerful power was released, Ying Zheng was shocked, his chest seemed to have been hammered, and he hurriedly turned his head, not daring to meet Li Leng's gaze. His heart was pounding fast, and he didn't know why he was so afraid of Li Leng. It stands to reason that his cultivation is even higher than Li Leng's! It should be that Li Leng is afraid of him? How could it be that he is afraid of Li Leng? Just now, Li Leng's eyes were really lethal.
"That person has a grudge against you?" Ruoshui also noticed the strange expressions of Ying Zheng and Li Leng, sneered, and asked disdainfully. In his opinion, it would be very stupid for anyone other than him to go against Li Leng. This win Zheng too.
"Luckily, we do have some grudges. He's not my opponent, though. Li Leng shrugged, not taking Ying Zheng seriously. After so many incidents, Ying Zheng is nothing more than this in his mind, no matter how much he jumps, he can't jump out of his Five Finger Mountain. I want to clean up and win Zheng, but it's just a matter of time, and it's not a big deal.
"I guess...... He really doesn't deserve to be your opponent. Ruoshui glanced at Ying Zheng, especially when he saw Ying Zheng's uncertain mood, he already understood what was going on. Such a person is really not worthy of being Li Leng's opponent.
Subsequently, the respective elders set off with the candidates. An hour later, all the candidates entered a dangerous mountain, and although it was only the periphery of Tianmang Mountain, they could still hear the howl of the brute beast at any time. Nearly 1,000 candidates were like a handful of sand thrown into the sea, and after a while, they all disappeared, each heading towards their chosen goal.
After everyone enters Tianmang Mountain, they will disperse, some people have already made an appointment to form a team together, some people randomly form a team, those who meet together will form a team, and those who can't meet together will act alone. Ruoshui is used to being alone and doesn't like to form a team with people, so as soon as he enters Tianmang Mountain, he disappears into the vast woods alone in an instant. As for Li Leng, he doesn't care, he is at peace with what he encounters, whoever he meets, if he takes the same path, then he will form a team for the time being. When he met someone who didn't like his temper, he would take a walk alone and look at the scenery. As for hunting beasts and looking for elixirs, it's just something that is done casually, and I don't pay much attention to it.
"Amitabha, Master Li, we meet again. Kill Wuxin slowly walked out of the dense forest on one side, folded his hands, and looked at Li Leng with a smile, he didn't expect that Li Leng would apply for the ancestral hall, which made him very happy in his heart.
"It turns out that the Buddha Sect is killing Wuxin! Look at your state, the demon in your heart is suppressed. Being in the Demon Cave and your heart in the Buddha Sect, you are also an outlier!" Li Leng still appreciates killing Wuxin. This has its own worldview.,As a son of the demon race.,But I want to cultivate Buddhism.。 For the demons, this is probably a great irony. But Kill Wuxin is talented and powerful. Whether it is the path of the devil or the path of Buddhism, there is a kind of comprehension that surpasses ordinary people. This makes the people of the two realms of demons and Buddhas love and hate him, and they all hope that he can devote himself to the demon clan or the Buddhist sect.
Kill Wuxin smiled and said: "Master Li, there is a small matter I want to ask you for help, I don't know if Master Li Shizhu can help and help the little monk." He looked at Li Leng expectantly, as if he was afraid that Li Leng would reject him.
"It's not a small thing to get you to ask for help. Li Leng shrugged, looked indifferent, and said, "However, you and I are fated, and I am willing to help you with this." Tell me, what's the matter?"
Kill Wuxin said: "The little monk has an older sister, who is the princess of the demon clan and one of the holy daughters of the demon clan. She also participated in the assessment of the ancestral hall this time, but the little monk was afraid that she would get into trouble. After all, the ancestral hall is not a demon clan, nor is it another great cultivator, if she messes around here, I'm afraid no one can save her. Therefore, I implore Master Li Shizhu to help the little monk keep an eye on her and not let her get into trouble. ”
Li Leng had a headache for a while, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have agreed so quickly, and now, he had a feeling of being forced to go to Liangshan. Don't agree, just now I have readily agreed to kill Wuxin. But if you agree, this woman's matter is very troublesome, especially the matter of the demon saintess, it will be a headache. He laughed dryly, decided to break his promise, and said, "It stands to reason...... I should help you with this, but, after all, this is your family matter, and I'm afraid that if you manage it too much, it will make your sister unhappy, and it will also make the demons have ideas. Come to think of it, I think it's better for you to come and watch her in person. ”
"However, you have just agreed, and that is a cause and effect. To be honest, I'm afraid of my sister, she is too lenient, and the little monk has to take care of everything. Kill Wuxin cried with a sad face, and said with a wry smile, "So, it's not the little monk who cares about her, it's her who cares about the little monk." Master Li Shi, you won't die without help!" looked at Li Leng with an expectant face.
"I ......" Li Leng didn't know what to say, he was stabbed by this monk, and it was impossible to agree or not. At this time, a cold female voice suddenly came from the forest: "Kill Wuxin, this time it depends on where you run." Immediately after, I saw a purple figure flying out, rushing towards Li Leng and killing Wuxin, with an angry look.
"Oh my god. Kill Wuxin hurriedly said, "Master Li, everything is entrusted to you, the little monk is grateful, grateful." Nothing happened, the little monk retreated. "A teleportation, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared, slipping faster than a rabbit.
When the purple figure arrived in front of Li Leng, he suddenly disappeared and stomped his feet angrily, and said hatefully: "Damn, let him escape again." Kill Wuxin, don't let me catch you, otherwise, I won't be polite to you. After speaking, he found that there was a person standing in front of him, about the same age as Kill Wuxin, and suddenly thought that Kill Wuxin was talking to this young man just now, and asked in a slightly unkind tone: "Do you know Kill Wuxin?"
Li Leng looked at the girl, but she was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe with sleeves and a top, an emerald green smoke gauze loose flower skirt underneath, a big bow tied with gold silk soft smoke around her waist, and her sideburns hanging low and obliquely inserted into the jasper and phoenix hairpins, showing a slender and demonic charm that seduced people's souls. This young man is very beautiful and charming, the kind of hook engraved in the bones, which makes men deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. However, in Li Leng's opinion, this is nothing more than that, and it did not cause him much surprise.
The girl's attitude was very bad, her face was cold, and she looked unkind, which made Li Leng not have much patience with her, and replied lightly: "Why should I tell you." After that, I wanted to leave.
Buddhism pays the most attention to karma, if he has a fate with this girl and can come together, then he will keep his promise, take good care of this girl, and don't let her get into any trouble. But if there is no chance, the two sides can't get together, then I'm sorry, this matter has little to do with him, even if he doesn't want to ask, he has a reason to refuse.
"Stop. The girl drew her sword, blocked Li Leng's way, and said coldly, "No one dares to talk to me like this, who are you? Believe it or not, I killed you with a sword?" stared at Li Leng viciously, and there was really murder in his eyes.
As soon as Li Leng looked at the girl's appearance, he knew that the girl must have killed someone, otherwise, the murderous aura on her body would not be so cold, full of bloodthirsty impulses. He stopped, a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, glanced at the girl, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I was in charge of you, I would have done something to you based on what you did just now." But come to think of it, forget it, what am I doing with a woman so much? As he spoke, he walked towards a wood.
"Stop. As soon as the girl heard this, this girl really had a lot to do with killing Wuxin, as long as she followed him, she would definitely be able to find killing Wuxin, and chased after her, seeing that Li Leng was a master who didn't eat hard and soft, she lowered her posture and said with a smile, "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have talked to you like that." My name is Tianxin, and I am a member of the demon race. Kill Wuxin is my younger brother, he has always been impulsive, I want to watch him, don't let him get into trouble! If you know where Kill Wuxin is, can you tell me?"
"I don't know. Li Leng said very politely.
"You ......" Tianxin is angry, what's the matter with this man, is it because he is not beautiful enough? Isn't he attractive to him? Why is he so cold to himself? This makes her feel very uncomfortable, but there is no way to take Li Leng. She held back her anger and said, "You are also from the Ancestral Palace, right!? Okay, then let's form a team! I don't believe it, I will hide for the rest of my life." He angrily followed behind Li Leng.
Li Leng smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, after all, he still couldn't escape this cause and effect!
As soon as the two of them entered the woods, suddenly, Tianxin's ears moved slightly. With a bang, she turned into a purple afterimage, flew out, and passed a distance of more than thirty zhang.
"Wow"
Her arm shook, and a sword light flashed in her hand, stabbing into the ground. Underground, there was a scream of a brute. A fountain of blood gushed up from the ground. Just as the blood was about to reach her arm, her fingers turned, and she moved her steps, retracting the sword from its scabbard at a swift pace. The whole process takes place between the electric light and flint. Out of the sword, stabbing the sword, closing the sword, in one go, without any fancy and without the slightest drag.
Li Leng's eyes narrowed, staring at Tianxin, and secretly said in his heart, this woman cultivates the sword technique of killing, only seeking to kill, and there is no superfluous fancy. Moreover, her sword intent has reached an extremely high level, which is really not simple!
"Bang!" Li Leng stepped on the ground with one foot, and called Yuan Li to hit the ground through the soles of his feet, and with a bang, the earth and stone cracked, and the corpse of an iron-armored man-eating rat the size of a basin was shaken out of the ground.
Iron-clad man-eating rats, second-order inferior brute beasts, their whole body is covered in scales, their teeth are three inches long, and they are as sharp as blades. Because it eats a lot of food and can eat one live person at a time, it is called a man-eating rat.
Ordinary warriors in the early stage of the foundation building realm, if they encounter iron-clad man-eating rats, it is estimated that before they can react, they will be attacked by iron-armored man-eaters from the ground and bite off their legs.
If a monk's legs are bitten off, it is basically a dead end, and it is impossible to escape.
Tianxin's sword just pierced the neck artery of the iron-armored man-eating mouse, and it was extremely accurate.
