Chapter 1, the immortals and swordsmen on the edge of the southern capital
On the edge of the southern capital city a few decades ago, it was not as it is today, with tea stalls all over the place and archways standing in a forest. There is only one official road, which runs through the southern capital, and the straight side goes to the south, and the other side goes to the north, until the distant edge is full of big demons between the mountains.
It is precisely because of the monsters all over the mountains and fields that there are also many demon hunters between the mountains and fields, or monks and sword immortals, or mortal warriors walking on the outskirts of the southern capital, killing demons and eliminating demons, and doing the right thing for the sky.
In this world, no one doesn't want to learn a skill, be a hero, fight the rivers and lakes, and walk the world. The hundred-year-old city of the southern capital, but there is no immortal above the Jindan realm in the city, and the monks and swordsmen outside the city can usually keep the city safe, but when you encounter monsters like blood demons, it is so prosperous in the southern capital, and you can only ask people to get rid of the demons.
Under the New Year's pass, the city wall of the southern capital was full of lords and servants who were shivering in the wind and snow, and when they looked closely, there were not many female dependents, leaning against the low wall on the city gate, sticking out their necks and looking out of the city.
The birds are silent, and the lights are not lit. But no one was cold, no one dared to say a word of impatience, and the city lord was even in the middle, his eyes were full of hope.
At this time, a hundred miles outside the city gate, Liu Xianren of the Jindan realm, led several monks, each holding a sword and standing on the tip of the tree, faintly surrounding a red mist in the clearing. The red mist was mixed with this trace of gold, which was obviously a blood demon in the Jindan realm.
Not long after the stalemate, Liu Xianren held his sword and shouted coldly: "Monster, suffer death!"
Before the words fell, Liu Xianren took the lead in rushing towards the blood demon with his sword, and the rest of the monks released different spells, fast or slow, no one hesitated, and they followed one after another.
In an instant, several figures fought with the blood demon, and the sword qi of the monks was wide, but it had no effect on the mist. On the contrary, the mist, in the throbbing waves, rushed towards a monk every time, and even if the monk struggled out in an instant, it was pale and unstable, and at worst it was spitting blood from his mouth and covered in scars.
The monks seemed to be surrounded, but they were defeated and retreated, and the blood demons were getting stronger and stronger, and there was a faint tendency to grow.
Hundreds of miles away, on the city wall, the old men are still waiting for the good news of the immortals.
The monks gradually fell to the downside, so they fought and retreated, and slowly reached a lake, and the moment the blood demon chased over the lake, the whole lake was already reflected red in the moonlight.
On a hill next to the lake, Zhang Xiao'an opened his mouth wide and looked at the battle in front of him without the slightest fear.
"Uncle Duan, are they going to fail, you can't go yet?" Zhang Xiaoan couldn't look back at the man behind him, and looked intently at the monk floating on the water, between a sword and a sword, quite immortal.
"They can fight. ”
The man didn't even look at it, holding the sword in his hand and closing his eyes.
"But recently, the monsters near Nandu have been eaten by blood demons, when can I try my swordsmanship? ”
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoan sat back under the tree and muttered: "Swordsman, swordsman, we are swordsmen, unlike them, we can't compete for fame and fortune, and we can't do great things, but this monster has been killed, and you don't let me make a move." ”
Zhang Xiaoan disdainfully looked at the fighting methods of the immortals in front of him, Uncle Duan had never made a move with such a flying immortal in front of him, since he was determined to become a hero at the age of seven, he had been learning swords for seven years, and he knew Uncle Duan's strength well. Now, since Uncle Duan said that these people can fight, I'm afraid he won't interfere.
Zhang Xiaoan turned around after speaking, but saw Duan Nantian open his eyes, open the white gourd and take a sip of wine.
"Uncle Duan, can I really come out with a sword after a year?" Zhang Xiaoan looked at the immortal fighting by the lake, and asked as if he was talking to himself, but he didn't see the sword flashing in Duan Nantian's hand as if it had spiritual wisdom, drifting and slowly pointing in one direction. After all, Uncle Duan has said several times that a swordsman must have the heart to win, and the sword in his hand is the way in his heart, if he is not firm, he is not a swordsman, and his sword intent must be honed to at least fourteen years old.
"Your own sword, you don't really have to ask me. You see, don't move around, I have an upset stomach, it's convenient to find a place. Duan Nantian pressed the sword and hung the clean gourd on his waist, his gaze seemed to have reached thousands of miles away, where the sword was pointing.
Zhang Xiao'an responded, but he was still slandering, swordsman swordsman, practicing a sword, is there so much attention to it? When he has finished practicing, he will go to the head of the Changning Emperor's capital to learn from the sword immortals of Shushan.
But even if you don't have to practice, after the New Year, you will be fourteen, and when the time comes, Uncle Duan said that he will find himself a sword of his own, and he will never have to use a wooden sword in the future!
I have been practicing swords until now, but I have never found the feeling of victory. A few times, I was a little away from the sword, but in the end I hesitated, because I was afraid that as Uncle Duan said, if I made a losing sword, I would lose the sword for a lifetime.
Bang!
A loud bang came from the lake, startling Zhang Xiao'an to stop thinking and look back at the source of the sound. The blood demon seemed to be very good at the art of water escape, and at this moment, the entire lake was not just reflected by the moonlight, but completely turned into blood water.
The loud sound came from Liu Jianxian's earth-shattering sword in the middle of the lake. The sword blade several zhang long plunged straight into the center of the lake, causing the entire center of the lake to be almost split by the sword qi and see the bottom of the water.
But the blood demon who escaped from the water would not be hit by such an inaccurate sword, Liu Xianren went deep into the lake, and when the surrounding huge waves were split and counterattacked, the blood demon condensed a blood cone from the Dao waves, and stabbed towards Liu Xianren with the help of the water potential.
Under this full blow, there is a sense of killing.
At this moment, the surrounding immortals seemed to have discussed, and no one went to rescue Liu Xianren, but quickly laid out the Qiankun formation that had been buried before around the lake.
The blood demon concentrated on preparing for this killing blow, and it was obviously defenseless against the formation.
These immortals have obviously calculated, if they start a war here, this blood demon will definitely escape, so they have arranged a large array of Qiankun here, wanting to trap this blood demon alive in this lake.
When the blood demon saw this scene, the blood cone not only did not stop, but it was more quickly, directly penetrating into the heart of that Liu Immortal.
Zhang Xiaoan was watching the battle outside, only to see that the immortal went straight to the bottom of the lake with a sword, but he couldn't see anything at the bottom of the lake. After the huge waves crashed towards the middle of the lake, the lake was gradually suppressed by the great array until the wind and waves calmed down.
A moment later, bursts of golden light emanated from the bottom of the water, and Liu Xianren surfaced unscathed behind a golden shield.
The big array was set, the battle situation was decided, and the surrounding immortals looked at the shield on Liu Xianren's chest, and they all leaked envy. When the Liu Immortal came out of the water and stood still, all the monks hugged each other's fists, saying that they were hard Liu Immortal and the like.
Obviously, all of this is the strategy of these monks, and this blood demon is doomed tonight, and he will die here today.
Zhang Xiaoan looked at all this, and became more and more dumbfounded. In order to see Liu Xianren's sword clearly, he had already walked dozens of steps forward, and at this time, he was only a hundred feet away from the lake.
After the monks by the lake finished their congratulations and began to deal with the sealed blood demon, all the monks took a step back, obviously looking at Liu Xian's head.
That Liu Xianren was not polite, he flicked his long sleeves, and scolded with a righteous face: "Bold blood demon, you have been in trouble for a long time, you have killed countless lives, tyrannical and unreasonable, and it is difficult to survive in heaven, today, it is your death date!"
As soon as these words came out, there seemed to be some fluctuations in the surface of the lake, and then a hoarse voice that couldn't hear the gender and age came out: "Death period?
"But you don't have to be afraid, if you unravel the big array at this moment, there are still a few blood slaves in my sea of blood, and when the time comes, I will definitely spare your life if any of you have the blood fragrance. ”
When a few people heard this, their faces turned like dirt. The blood demon is tyrannical and cunning by nature, and it stands to reason that today's blood demon is still too easy to catch. If there was really a God Blood Ancestor, even if those people fled immediately, they would not be able to escape death.
"Turning into a god blood ancestor, don't we have a pure yang realm immortal in our Void Gate! I can't hear your big words today, do it!" Liu Immortal gave an order, and all the monks under his command instantly returned to their original positions, formed a large array, and ignited the true fire of Samadhi, and the small lake was steaming in an instant.
The blood demon enemy was only a few moments, and escaped from the water, forming a human-like and inhuman body on the surface of the lake, with blood red all over the body, sharp teeth and sharp teeth, a rickety waist and back, and no distinction between hands and feet.
As the Samadhi True Fire scorched, the protective mist around the Blood Demon visibly dissipated with a squeak. Zhang Xiao'an was fascinated for a while, and he didn't notice that he had already walked out of the range of the woods, and he was less than fifty zhang away from the lake.
The monks were so engrossed in controlling the formation that they didn't have time to care if there was anyone behind them.
The blood mist gradually thinned, and everyone thought they could catch a glimpse of the true face of the blood demon, but they found that the mist in the center of the lake had gathered and quickly shrunk into blood balls that were less than the size of a fist.
Just when others were curious, Liu Xianren shouted to be careful, and directly sacrificed the golden Qiankun shield. Before the shield light could envelop the surrounding monks, the central blood ball had already exploded in an instant, and a thunderous roar accompanied by a bloody aura tore apart the Qiankun Great Array in an instant.
At this time, the monks cast spells to save their lives, and the blood demon turned into a weak red light and came straight towards Zhang Xiao'an. At this time, Zhang Xiaoan was defenseless, under the impact of the sound of the explosion, his ears were already buzzing, and he didn't even see the trajectory of the red light clearly, until the blood demon came to the front of him, he was so frightened that he sat back, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.
Zhang Xiaoan didn't know that his traces had already been discovered by the blood demon, and he had become a prey at this time. The blood demon obviously wanted to suck Zhang Xiao'an dry and replenish his blood qi so that he could escape.
At the last moment, after the red light, Liu Xianren was unharmed, and chased after the other injured monks with swords.
Zhang Xiaoan looked at the face of the blood demon in horror, it was like a girl, but it was extremely hideous.
This blood demon, Liu Xianren couldn't catch up at all, so he could only shout anxiously: "Stop it!"
