Chapter 9: Killing
Outside the gray lizard forest, there is no name at the entrance of the village.
Xuanjian Sect Geng Cheng, Fu Jun, Ding and the three disciples stood here, although the weather was high and crisp on this day, but the three of them looked very irritable, mixed with a little anxiety from time to time, especially Geng Cheng, from time to time he looked up into the distance, as if waiting for something, and the direction he looked at was the side of Broken Moon City.
Seeing that the sun was gradually rising and time passed, Ding He next to him seemed to be a little impatient, so he took a step first and said, "Senior brother, why hasn't Nangong Senior Sister come over yet?"
Geng Cheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "We only sent the message back this morning, even if Senior Sister Nangong came immediately after receiving it, wouldn't it take a while, just wait with peace of mind." ”
Ding He pursed his lips, with an impatient look, and muttered twice in a low voice, and he didn't know if he was complaining about the big shelf of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Fu Jun, who was standing next to him, was calmer than him, and said in a low voice: "Okay, Senior Brother Geng is also very upset, don't provoke him." Besides, you didn't fail to see it a few days ago, that eldest lady didn't look very well at Qian Yi, and now you suddenly asked her to rush here all the way to find someone, of course Senior Sister Nangong was not happy in her heart. ”
Ding He said angrily: "But aren't we all the same door after all, it's just a gesture, how can there be so much squeamishness?"
Geng Cheng turned his head and glared, with a little anger, and said, "Nonsense, what is squeamish or not, close your mouth tightly." ”
Ding He rolled his eyes, although he shut up, but he still seemed to be very unconvinced, Geng Cheng has always had a good relationship with these two junior disciples, glared at Ding He at this moment, and finally sighed, and said: "Although our Xuanjian Gate and Tianjian Palace are in the same vein, after all, there is a difference between the door and the door, how big the difference is, I don't say that you also know, so there are some things, don't think about it too much." ”
Ding He and Fu Jun were silent, and after a while, Fu Jun suddenly became a little annoyed, and said angrily: "In the final analysis, it was Qian Yi who did things all day long, and even dragged us down to spend so many days in this barren mountain and wild place." ”
Geng Cheng sighed again, rubbed his eyebrows, only felt that he seemed to sigh more and more times these days, and after a while, he smiled helplessly: "We have been looking for him for so long, and we can't see anyone dead or dead, so we only find those strange ...... in the forest In short, no matter what, when we go back to the master's door, we must give the master an explanation, can't a big living person just say that it is gone?"
Before the words fell, Ding He, who was beside him, suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "It's here." ”
Geng Cheng and Fu Jun were both shocked, turned around to look, and saw a dazzling sword light crossing the blue sky, like a white rainbow like a dragon, galloping all the way, until they were in the sky before they slowly slowed down and fell, and a figure appeared, which was the young and beautiful Nangong Ying.
Although Ding He and Fu Jun had complaints in front of them, but at this moment, Nangong Ying really arrived here, but the two of them did not show the slightest strange look, and followed Geng Cheng hurriedly walked over, and only saw Geng Cheng and Nangong Ying talking a few words from a distance, Nangong Ying seemed to show a little surprise, and asked a few more words, Geng Cheng turned around and pointed to the forest, as if he was explaining something to Nangong Ying, and after a while, he only saw the three disciples of the Xuanjian Sect surrounding Nangong Ying and walked into this vast gray lizard forest.
※※※
At the same time, on the outskirts of Silvermoon Lake, deep in the wilderness.
The little black pig rolled over on the grass, sat up lazily, and then, as if feeling some itching on his head, he stretched out a little pig's hoof and rubbed it on the pig's head a few times, and yawned.
And not far from him, the two figures faintly confronted each other, but the atmosphere was completely different, looking very solemn and cold, the monk with a yellow face and a murderous face looked at Shen Shi, like looking at a fat sheep, sneering:
"What if I want to kill you, if I meet your grandfather and me, I will count you unlucky. ”
Looking at his appearance, it shouldn't be the first time he has done murder and looting in the wilderness outside the city, and he even takes it for granted that he even speaks, and I really don't know how many scattered cultivators have died in his hands in the past.
Shen Shi didn't say anything more, just looked at him coldly, his hands naturally hung down at his side, but his right foot slowly took a step back, intentionally or unintentionally, and opened some distance from this monk.
The yellow-faced monk saw at a glance that this young boy was very inward-looking, no, he was ready to run away before he started fighting, he had seen a lot of young rookies who had just debuted, no matter how good your talent was, you really had to face the fight of life and death with real knives and real guns, and weren't they all soft eggs who cried for their fathers and called their mothers, and they could only be slaughtered?
On the road of cultivating the truth, everyone thinks that the prospects are infinite and that they have unlimited possibilities in the future, but in the end, can there be one person in the past who can really become an immortal and become a Buddha?
With a cruel laugh, this monk waved his blood-dripping blade, rubbed his body up, and his eyes seemed to have seen the scene of himself looting the belongings on the corpse of this young man not long after, how bumpy the road to cultivation is, and the scattered cultivation is extremely difficult, if there is no such foreign wealth, how can he cultivate all the way to the current high level of the Qi Refining Realm, only one step away from the legendary Ning Yuan Realm? I am afraid that every day just to earn the most basic cultivation spirit crystals will have to be anxious and unable to get it.
As long as you go one step further and grab some resources and spiritual materials, as long as you finally rush and step into the Ning Yuan Realm, the world at that time must be completely different from now.
At the moment when the withered yellow monk rushed over, what passed in his mind was the yearning and expectation for a better life in the future, for that expectation and the powerful power that was about to arrive, what was it to kill a few of these scattered cultivators and loot some things now?
The blood on the blade was blown away by the strong wind, revealing the sharp blade again, and slashed towards Shen Shi, because of the limitations of the realm and spiritual power, the monks of the Qi Refining Realm did not open up the Yufu Dantian, and it was almost impossible to practice any Taoist magical powers, except for occasionally practicing one or two low-level Five Elements Techniques for self-defense, the vast majority of monks in this lowest realm, if they fought and fought, they still relied on the flesh tempered by spiritual power.
The stronger the physical body, the more experienced the fighting, the greater the chance of winning, in a sense, this is not much different from ordinary mortals, the difference may be that the cultivators of the Qi Refining Realm have cultivated after all, and the physical strength is far stronger than that of mortals.
Before the blade arrived and the sword wind came first, a strand of hair even fluttered slightly, but Shen Shi's face did not show the frightened and frightened look that the withered yellow monk expected, his expression was still calm and silent, for some reason, the monk with a withered face saw Shen Shi's appearance, but his heart was uncomfortable for a while.
It's just that the blade is so fast, once it is swung, it is impossible to retract it in a hurry, not to mention that maybe this young rookie is just scared silly?
But at this moment, out of the corner of the Yellow Monk's eyes, he seemed to see Shen Shi's right hand seem to move suddenly.
It seems that nothing is happening? In that moment of lightning?
Shen Shi retreated, his body was swift and skillful, and he let go of the knife cut by the withered yellow monk, which made the withered yellow monk's pupils shrink slightly, and a not very good feeling surged in his heart, this young man didn't seem to look too much like a fledgling who had just debuted, and he didn't have the slightest panic at this life-and-death juncture?
This knife didn't seem to hurt Shen Shi, nor did it close the distance between himself and Shen Shi, although the withered yellow monk was vigilant just now, but he was not just timid because of this, and when he was thinking about chasing and killing again, he suddenly saw a faint light flashing in front of him, and a stream of water suddenly appeared in mid-air.
"Water archery!"
The withered yellow monk suddenly shouted, and immediately retreated, his words were terrified and even a little panicked, in fact, under normal circumstances, although the first-order Five Elements Technique would cause a certain amount of damage to the Qi Refining Realm cultivator, as long as he paid attention to resisting, a single spell would still not reach the point of death.
It's just that this water arrow technique is too insidious, which greatly surprised the withered yellow monk, except for the movement of his right hand before, the withered yellow monk didn't see Shen Shi have any other spell casting actions at all, so he couldn't imagine that such a spell would suddenly appear, not to mention, how could a monk of the Qi Refining Realm cast the Five Elements spell so fast? It's simply unheard of!
But the facts in front of him could not be changed, the withered yellow monk was caught off guard, forced to retreat by this water archery technique, although he tried his best to dodge, but the transparent water archery technique after evading his initial defense, and when he found it, it was already very close, and in the end he still couldn't completely dodge the past, but fortunately, he still had a blade in his hand.
At the critical moment, the withered yellow monk's experience of killing people and goods over the years seemed to have saved his life, and when he couldn't make a move, he lay the blade sideways in front of him, narrowly blocking this vicious and almost invisible water arrow technique.
There was a crisp "pop", and the stream of water hit the blade.
The withered monk breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked up viciously forward, thinking that he would cut this ruthless stinky boy a few more times before killing him, but when this thought had just come to him, suddenly he only felt a sudden shock in his hand, and an astonishing and tremendous force surged from the blade of the knife in an instant, from his fingers to his wrists, from his wrists to his arms, like a raging tide.
"Smack", the crisp voice rang out again, and then the withered monk only felt a sudden lightness in his hand, and a moment later, under his stunned and incredulous gaze, the hard knife appeared a slight crack, and then broke off from it and fell to the ground.
"Papa", a strange but somewhat thrilling sound, came from his right arm holding the knife one after another, and for a moment he seemed to feel that his entire right hand was unconscious, and he didn't know if the meridians were injured by that powerful force.
At this moment, this withered yellow monk still doesn't understand that he has hit an iron plate, and where is this young man in front of him who is an inexperienced rookie cultivator, it is clearly a deeply hidden evil star. And at about this moment, in the corner of his eye, he was shocked to see a raging flame in the palm of Shen Shi's hand in front of him.
The fireball technique, the withered yellow monk who has rich experience in killing people and is not bad at knowledge, recognized this five-element technique at first glance, and after screaming, he threw down his hand to interrupt the knife, and ran backwards in horror, and at the same time, his mind was also extremely shocked in a sense of fear: when, the casting speed of the Qi Refining Realm cultivator will be so fast, this is simply impossible? Could it be that the talisman is used, but in the consensus of the cultivation realm under the world, even if the talisman is used, wouldn't it take at least three or four breaths?
And what was going on with the power that was far superior to the ordinary first-order Five Elements Technique?
Why is there such an incredible thing in this young man?
These frightened thoughts all passed through his mind in an instant, but the most important thing he still hadn't forgotten was to escape, a water archery technique was so powerful, if that fireball technique was hit again, he was afraid that he would really die here.
The withered yellow monk rushed forward desperately, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be a trace of scorching qi sweeping behind him, and there seemed to be a roaring and burning sound in the air, that feeling, as if it was not an ordinary first-order five-element spell at all, this power, this momentum, was almost the second-order fire technique that he had seen cast by a master monk of the Ning Yuan Realm on a chance occasion a long time ago-"Flame Technique".
Is this person really in the Qi Refining Realm, could it be a fake monk from the Ning Yuan Realm......
There was a trace of despair in the heart of the withered yellow monk, but out of instinct he still ran desperately, because his right arm was injured and unconscious, so he looked a little staggered when he ran away, and when the scorching heat behind him quickly approached, he screamed in panic, and was trying to try his best to dodge to the side, when suddenly there was a pain in the side of his foot, as if he had been hit by something, and he fell backwards all at once.
In a panic, he glanced down, and vaguely saw a little black pig with a black body appearing on his side at some point, and hit it head-on, the force was amazing, and he directly knocked his forward body back, feeling like he had hit a rock that flew in front of him.
What kind of pig is this, so hard as to be so outrageous......
"Boom!"
With a bang, the burning fireball directly hit the body of the withered yellow monk, accompanied by that desperate scream, the monk who was murderous not long ago was completely knocked away by this fireball, and in the raging flames burning in front of him, the last thought that passed through his mind seemed to be an unbelievable and unwilling roar:
How could I die? Why did I die here? Ning Yuan Realm, Ning Yuan Realm is only one step away!
Why, why did these decades of cultivation come to naught......
The blue sky is high, the white clouds are drifting by, the world is silent, that is the last scenery he saw before his death, beautiful and peaceful but indifferent, as if this world has never changed in the slightest.
Then he died, with that dream that one step Ning Yuan but came to an abrupt end, and died silently in the depths of this wilderness, just like those scattered cultivators who also died at his hands in the past days.
Shen Shi walked over slowly, glanced at the monk expressionlessly, and then his eyes fell on the little black pig next to him, only to see the little black pig snort at him twice, as if he was very proud of the sneak attack he had just made to help the master, and then lowered his head and approached the corpse of the withered yellow monk, sniffed and sniffed twice, and quickly found the spirit grass that caused the dispute, bit it in his mouth, and then ran back to Shen Shi's feet, and began to chew triumphantly.
Shen Shi was silent, a little speechless looking at the little pig, after a while, squatted down and touched the little black pig's head, feeling that the momentum just now knocked the monk's entire body upside down and flew back, the fur on the little black pig's head was not damaged at all, could this be some kind of talent of the "stone pig" in its blood......
Shen Shi stared at the little black pig for a while, then shook his head and said:
"You pig, why are you so insidious?"
