Chapter 20: Bright Hope

On the mountain road of a large mountain in the southern part of Furuto Province, a young man in white clothes with blood was running forward with internal injuries in the ninja's body, without looking back.

"Why is this happening!?" the young man cried out in a low voice of despair, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

The young man's name is Zhou Xiao, and he is a descendant disciple of Shangyun Mountain, one of the four major sects of the Guteng Kingdom, and he is also the next generation of mountain masters of Shangyun Mountain.

Some time ago, young people met a tea seller in the small town at the foot of Shangyun Mountain, and the first time they saw the tea seller, they were shocked and fell in love at first sight.

Because Zhou Xiao's personality is direct and he doesn't like to beat around the bush, he expressed his admiration for the woman at that time. The woman was not afraid of Zhou Xiao, who revealed her identity at that time, but just said that she would think about it for a few days before replying, and this neither humble nor arrogant character made Zhou Xiao like it even more. A few days later, the woman agreed to follow Zhou Xiao up the mountain, and Zhou Xiao happily returned to Shangyun Mountain, and asked the master, who is the contemporary master of Shangyun Mountain, to hold a wedding for him and the woman.

His master admonished him at that time that this woman was a little weird, but at that time, Zhou Xiao was already dizzy, and his personality was very stubborn, and his master couldn't do anything about him, so he just said that he would wait a few days. In those days, his master sent someone to investigate the identity and details of the woman, and just when he was about to find out, Zhou Xiao found out that his master actually checked the details of the person he liked, so he was very dissatisfied and ended the investigation with his own accumulated connections.

When his master saw that he had made up his mind, he didn't say anything, fearing that if he continued to stop him, it might affect his apprentice's Dao heart, so he had no choice but to give up. In the sad eyes of his daughter, a grand wedding was held for Zhou Xiao and the unknown woman.

His daughter likes his apprentice Zhou Xiao, as a father, he has always known, but Zhou Xiao has never known, I don't know if he is pretending to be confused or he has never noticed it.

On the third night after the wedding. Zhou Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a strong killing intent in his dream, and then suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw that his beloved woman who was sleeping with him was holding a poisoned knife, ready to pierce his heart.

Fortunately, the woman was an ordinary person and not a cultivator, otherwise Zhou Xiao would have died.

Although this knife did not pierce it, it was more painful for Zhou Xiao than piercing his heart.

Listening to the louder and louder sounds of killing outside the window, he angrily asked, "Why?!"

"In order to survive, they fed me poison. If I don't do what they say, I'm going to die. On the third day after they asked me to go up the mountain, I drugged the food that the disciples of Shangyun Mountain ate. Then I can be completely liberated. The woman's tone was as unhumble as it had been a few days earlier.

At this time, this voice fell into Zhou Xiao's ears, indifferent as ice, this is not something that is neither humble nor arrogant, this is a ruthless voice in his heart!

Zhou Xiao took a deep look at the woman and did not kill the woman. Instead, he hurried to his master.

His master was already injured in the face of the siege of two powerful monks, and finally fought to be seriously injured, sending Zhou Xiao out of Shangyun Mountain, and then he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Before Zhou Xiao fled, his master did not blame him, but said in a flat tone, "Xue'er has liked you for eighteen years. Her last words were just before she died, and she still had to let me get you out. This time, it was the demonic force that was wiped out by our Shangyun Mountain, and there were a few fish that slipped through the net back then, and now they are making a comeback. You don't have to avenge our Shangyun Mountain, the master-apprentice relationship between you and me will end here. You are no longer my disciple of Shangyun Mountain. Let's go, go as far as possible!"

After Zhou Xiao went down the mountain, he was blocked and killed by the demonic forces at the bottom of the mountain to prevent the fish from escaping. After a bloody battle, Zhou Xiao came out, but he also suffered a lot of internal potential.

At this time, this mountain was Zhou Xiao's last resort, because the demonic forces chasing him behind him could be said to be in hot pursuit, not giving Zhou Xiao a little time to rest. Zhou Xiao wanted to use the intricacies of the mountain road to get rid of those demon cultivators, but among those chasing soldiers were tracking masters, and Zhou Xiao could see the chasing soldiers behind him several times! This made Zhou Xiao's injury even worse!

"Kill! That kid is ahead!"

"Who can slaughter that kid and reward one of the three grades of exercises!"

"Catch up!"

Zhou Xiao couldn't help but despair when he heard the voice coming from behind him. But the figure did not stop, but instead fought to increase the speed of the aggravation of the internal injury, the corners of the mouth once again overflowed with bright red blood, and the face became even paler, without a trace of blood.

Suddenly, Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up, and he saw a young man with a little girl in front of him, as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers. But after seeing the little girl's clear eyes, she couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted loudly, "This friend! Get out of here!"

The young man nodded to indicate that he understood, then lowered his head to the little girl beside him and said, "What should I do if I encounter the Demon Dao?"

"The devil's way of the rivers and lakes, everyone will be punished!" the little girl touched the long sword at her waist and said loudly.

In the rivers and lakes, he can be called a demon monk, not because he is ruthless, but because the exercises of the demon path cultivation are domineering and bloody, and they often need to use the internal organs of ordinary people and even the rivers and lakes monks to help cultivate. Sacrifice other people's lives to improve one's own cultivation! When Chu Chou was traveling in Middle-earth Divine Prefecture, he saw a demon path giant who had cultivated at the peak of the eighth grade, and he was actually ready to kill and refine all the people and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes in a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, so as to help him break through to the legendary nine-rank cultivation that the demon path monk could never reach because the heavens did not allow it! At that time, Chu Chou did not have a nine-rank cultivation, he was still an eight-rank cultivator, not even the peak of the eighth-rank. But Chu Chou still made a decisive move, and had a bloody battle with the demon giant, Chu Chou was seriously injured and killed the devil. Later, when the super power masters such as the Confucian Mansion, the Immortal Sword Sect, and the Bagua Immortal Sect in Zhongzhou came, they were just cleaning up the mess. It was also that time that made Chu Chou completely famous in Kyushu!

"In that case, draw your sword. Chu Chou clasped his hands on his sleeves and calmly looked at the dozens of Demon Dao monks who were hurrying this way and had murderous intent on their faces.

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhishui pulled out the sword at his waist and stepped forward, his body moving quickly.

Zhou Xiao, who was a third-grade cultivator, thought that Zhao Zhishui was a demon monk, waiting for him here in advance, and was ready to attack himself at this time, and he was sad and desperate in his heart. But before he could react and prepare to fight to the death, the little girl rushed directly past him. He couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at the petite back of the dozens of demon cultivators, at a loss.

The dozens of demon monks were stunned when they saw a little girl rushing over in front of them, but then they smiled fiercely, and asked a little girl to delay time?

One of the people who looked like a small leader, when he saw Zhao Zhishui's eyebrows and beautiful eyes, obviously a beautiful embryo, he smacked his lips and said, "Just knock me out, don't get hurt!"

The other Demon Dao monks smiled heartily, and then ...... They found out that it was actually themselves who were the joke.

That little girl has a sword, and the sword and sword will cut them off, she is simply a murderer!

At first, many demon cultivators still resisted together, but then when there were only one or twenty people left, they retreated while fighting, and some demon monks wanted to escape directly, but they were all chased by the little girl and killed with a sword, until the last person was killed, dozens of people, and none of them escaped.

Zhou Xiao was dumbfounded, and the Demon Dao monk who chased him for several days died like this?

"Senior, don't thank you for your kindness!" Although Zhou Xiao has a direct personality, he is not a fool after all, seeing the little girl standing beside Chu Chou obediently, knowing that Chu Chou is the main master, he hugged his fist at Chu Chou and thanked him.

"I am a person in the rivers and lakes, and when I see injustice, I should draw my sword to help!" Zhao Zhishui stood up with a smile on his face, and pretended to be a senior sword fairy behind his hands, pretending to be profound.

Zhou Xiao wanted to laugh but couldn't, because it was this little girl who had just killed those demon monks by herself. This strength should have four or four peaks, right? What is a genius? This is the strength that I can't reach the peak of these three grades, and it is really not worth mentioning in front of this little girl.

At this moment, a black cloud suddenly rolled in the distance, and the black mass of demonic energy rushed towards Chu Chou's side.

"It's you?!" When the black cloud approached, Zhou Xiao saw a figure covered in black gas appear and recognized this person. This person was one of the two people who had fought against his master before.

"Where's my master?!" Zhou Xiao asked with red eyes.

That old man's heart is really delicious, worthy of a monk at the peak of the fourth grade, and it tastes really much stronger than those ordinary people! It actually made me rise directly from the realm of the fifth grade to the cultivation of the peak of the fifth grade!" The figure surrounded by black air split into two as he spoke, and then said angrily in a tone. Back then, it was you who went to Cloud Mountain, and for the sake of the so-called righteous path and justice, you killed everyone in our Demon Cloud Valley, if it weren't for me and a few senior brothers going out to hunt and eat the common people, then this revenge really can't be avenged!"

"Oh, by the way, the heart of the woman you like was also eaten by me. If it weren't for the fact that she had a little bit of affection for her, and she softened her heart a little bit, you would have died at that time. The two Dao figures put away their angry expressions at the same time, and said with a mocking expression.

After Zhou Xiao heard this, he sat down on the ground directly, and actually cried directly. Zhao Zhishui walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and then walked back to Chu Chou's side.

"Master, I want to try it this time. After Zhao Zhishui saw this demon who was not a ghost or a ghost, there was no fear in his eyes, but his heart was full of fighting intent.

"Well, it's really not good, I'll shoot again for the teacher. Don't be afraid, Master is here. Chu Chou nodded.

"Truly...... A little girl, and she still wants to make a move on me? Hey, it's a good furnace, just one of you, and I ate a whole thousand hearts. The devil sneered.

The demon who was divided into two stopped talking, and directly ran the magic spell and rushed towards Zhao Zhishui.

Zhao Zhishui was already angry, and at this time, he was using advanced stunts.

"Nine thousand miles with a sword!"

"Heart-shattering and vein-breaking palm!" four bone-like hands slapped towards Zhao Zhishui's long sword.

Bang!

Zhao Zhishui was shocked and retreated a few feet, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the demon was not comfortable, a sword mark was cut out of his palm, and a little green blood was oozing.

"Ten Thousand Miles of Sword Qi Falls on Beidou!" Zhao Zhishui wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, rushed forward unconvincedly, and used another swordsmanship passed on to her by Chu Chou, as the star of the Big Dipper appeared on the long sword in her hand, Zhao Zhishui's momentum soared.

"If you have advanced swordsmanship but you can't use it, it's still useless!" the demon sneered, glancing at Chu Chou. What really made him scruple was the little girl in front of him who didn't know the height of the sky from time to time, but the Chu Chou who he looked at with only the peak cultivation of the fourth grade! This is his instinctive induction that has escaped death again and again to get to this day!

After a fierce battle, Zhao Zhishui and the demon duel each other for dozens of rounds, as if they were evenly matched, and no one could help anyone.

"Zhishui, come back. You're no match for this adversary yet. Chu Chou, who had been fighting all the time, saw that Zhao Zhishui was a little exhausted, so he asked her to withdraw.

Chu Chou had already seen the details of the devil, and knew that the devil could have ended the battle not long after the beginning, but the devil was afraid of himself, so he pretended to be evenly matched with Zhao Zhishui to test Chu Chou. And Chu Chou didn't use this devil to let Zhao Zhishui have more actual combat experience?

Zhao Zhishui originally wanted to continue fighting, but after hearing Master's words, he stopped fighting and prepared to withdraw to Chu Chou's side.

"Want to go?" The devil is so old and spicy, seizing the moment when Zhao Zhishui was absent-mindedly preparing to retreat, ready to kill Zhao Zhishui, when he started, he glanced at Chu Chou, who was fighting outside the dozens of zhang, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Hmph!

His plan was to hit the little girl hard first, using this as a threat to make the young junior unsettled, and then seize the opportunity to kill the young junior who looked pretending to be profound. After the strongest young junior died, the other two were naturally at his disposal. The perfect ending is that he eats the hearts of all three of them. Thinking of this, this demon became one, his strength skyrocketed again, and the cultivation of the peak of the five grades was completely revealed.

The demon who was ninety percent sure that he could kill Zhao Zhishui was suddenly shocked in his heart, because he found that he couldn't move! He was extremely desperate, knowing that this time he had kicked the iron plate and met a master outside the world. But he still didn't give up struggling, spending his cultivation to break free from this unknown bondage.

Zhou Xiao, who was sitting on the ground in the distance and was disheartened, saw this scene and was puzzled, originally his heart was pinched just now, thinking that the little girl was going to die. This little girl's eyes were extremely clear, so that he did not completely give up, thinking that there is still light in the world, and there are still strange and good people.

"Such monks slaughter the people, and their sins are so great that they should be punished for both good and evil. Chu Chou's body didn't move, but when he said this, the body of the demon cultivator who was surrounded by black qi and looked extremely terrifying was directly wiped out. The demon didn't even scream.

Zhou Xiao was completely numb, and for this pair of masters and apprentices, he was already regarded as an immortal.

"Another great favor from my predecessors, I Zhou Xiao can never forget it when I am a cow and a horse!" Zhou Xiao stood up and was about to kneel down in front of Chu Chou.

"The man has gold under his knees. You and I meet in the water, even if I save you, I can't afford to kneel down with you. If you want to kneel, kneel down to your master, who is already the spirit of heaven. Chu Chou used internal force to keep Zhou Xiao from kneeling.

"I just hope that there will be one more person, more goodwill and more bright hope for this rivers and lakes and the world. ”
