In the swamp of the ten directions, there was silence, and the silence seemed to trap people in a confined space.

Looking around, Xu Bansheng couldn't see half a figure, only those blackened trees around him, and even the land under his feet had been completely blackened, and after walking not far, Xu Bansheng felt that his feet were full of blackened soil, and every time he stepped on it, there would be a creaking sound.

The sound was particularly eerie and creepy in this extremely quiet place, and there was a tingling sensation of blood backflow all over the body.

Xu Bansheng has been silently counting his steps, each step is about seventy centimeters, Xu Bansheng wants to know how far he has come.

This is an extremely simple repetitive process, but it is also so boring that it cannot be added, if it were someone else, it may have collapsed a long time ago, but Xu Bansheng did not feel like this. Because of this kind of thing, he had done it countless times before he was ten years old. A person's Daqingshan, he will count his steps step by step every day, walk to the top of the mountain, and then breathe the purple qi from the east on the top of the mountain, and then walk back to Taiyiguan step by step.

It's just that there are still birdsong on Daqing Mountain, and the occasional roar of wild beasts, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, but unlike here, except for his own footsteps, Xu Bansheng can't even hear any sound.

The impact of darkness on Xu Bansheng is not great, back then on Daqing Mountain, he got up before dawn every day, and in the night without moonlight and starlight, that kind of darkness was even more terrifying than the hazy feeling now. At that age, I haven't been afraid of that darkness for half my life, let alone here?

At least, here, Xu Bansheng can still see the landform about five zhang in front of him, but in those days he has experienced. Reaching out and not seeing five fingers is really not a mere literary rhetoric.

Suddenly, a terrible roar pierced the boundless silence, and Xu Bansheng couldn't help but be moved. The body stiffened slightly and looked up in the direction where the voice came from.

However, it was clearly a continuous roar. But it seemed to come from different places in all directions, and whenever Xu Bansheng wanted to listen in one direction, the voice changed direction suddenly.

After a few attempts, Xu Bansheng chose to give up, which may be one of the reasons why the Ten Directions Swamp is intimidating, where you can't even tell for sure where a certain voice is coming from you.

This feeling is far more frightening than darkness and solitude and boundless silence.

A black shadow appeared in front of Xu Bansheng's eyes. Xu Bansheng stopped his steps, and the other party obviously found him and also stopped.

"Who?"

The other party opened his mouth first, and at this moment, Xu Bansheng had already quietly taken out the cold iron dagger from the storage ring, and was holding it in his hand, blocking the cold light of the dagger with his arm.

"Nameless casual cultivation, who is Your Excellency?" Xu Bansheng was too lazy to say, since the other party said human words, it must be a casual cultivation. In such a place, there is no possibility of an alliance, and no one can trust a complete stranger.

The other party was silent for a moment. Sure enough, he made the same choice as Xu Bansheng, he said: "It's also a nameless casual cultivation, so don't leave it at that." After that, he obviously walked backwards and distanced himself from Xu Bansheng.

Xu Bansheng didn't move, but only adjusted his direction slightly, completely separated from the scattered cultivator, and continued to move forward.

It's strange to say, in the previous swamp of the ten directions. The silence was almost maddening, but when that terrible roar appeared. The sound is endless, though not continuous. But every once in a while, it will appear, and again, you will never be able to figure out the direction.

Under his feet, it was still creaking, Xu Bansheng was almost accustomed to the company of this sound, he knew that this sound was not necessarily a bad thing, because the existence of this sound meant that every step he stepped on was solid ground, and if there was no such sound, he would probably step into the swamp under his feet.

Just thinking about it, Xu Bansheng's footsteps suddenly stopped, once this persistent rhythm was broken, Xu Bansheng's whole body tensed, and the foot he was stepping out quietly retracted.

Then, looking ahead, he reached out and took a black piece from a nearby tree, which he didn't know if it was the bark or part of the trunk, and threw it in front of him.

The thing fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant, and Xu Bansheng could judge from the touch in his hand just now that the density of the blackened thing was not even as dense as ordinary wood, and it was even lower than the density of the human body.

It's a piece of things with such a low density, and they were all swallowed up by the swamp in front of them in an instant, it seems that those few scattered cultivators are really right, the swamp here is only a few points lighter than weak water, and anything that gets to the swamp, as long as you step on it, it will never come up again.

After this experience, Xu Bansheng's journey became more and more cautious, which was extremely boring and even harsh, upsetting and even trembling in his blood, and seemed to want to roar a few times to vent at any time, but at this moment it has become the best way to warn.

Xu Bansheng also felt that the sound under his feet made him irritable, and his emotions were also affected, he didn't dare to guarantee that when there was a casual cultivation in front of him again, he would lose control of his emotions and fight to the death with the other party because of this sound. He had also thought that this kind of sound was obviously one of the reasons why the Ten Directions Swamp was terrifying. But now, this voice is extremely pleasant to Xu Bansheng's ears, like a fairy music, which is enough to make Xu Bansheng feel warm and safe.

As long as this sound exists, Xu Bansheng will not fall into the swamp, and once the sound disappears, there will inevitably be a swamp under his feet.

It seems that there are always good and bad sides to everything, and it depends on whether you can find the usefulness in the worst.

With this sound, Xu Bansheng avoided the swamp many times, carefully detoured, and continued to move steadily in the swamp of the ten directions.

Around, the terrible roar still existed, constantly impacting Xu Bansheng's eardrums, but Xu Bansheng had turned a deaf ear, and his attention was completely focused on the uninterrupted creaking sound under his feet.

There was the same creaking sound ahead, and Xu Bansheng knew that someone was coming.

He immediately stopped, and the cold iron dagger reappeared in the palm of his hand.

I thought it would be the same as before. When the other party realized that there was someone in front of him, he would also be careful to stop his steps, but he didn't expect it. After the man obviously discovered the existence of Xu Bansheng, he didn't stop. Instead, he rushed madly in the direction of Xu Bansheng.

The footsteps were in a string, and Xu Bansheng took the initiative to speak: "I'm a nameless cultivator, who is in front of me?"

The other party was silent, but Xu Bansheng clearly heard a sound of breaking the sky, which was the other party taking the initiative to attack him.

Xu Bansheng's footsteps flashed, and he easily dodged the opponent's attack, but Xu Bansheng did not fight back, but said eagerly: "Don't care about the disturbance caused by the sound under your feet." Remember, if there is a sound under your feet, it means that you are stepping on the ground, and the sound is gone, which means that you have walked to the edge of the swamp and should immediately retract your steps. ”

He knew that not everyone could realize the benefits of the sound of footsteps, on the contrary, almost everyone would be affected by the sound of footsteps and become irritable. Become aggressive.

Xu Bansheng didn't want to kill each other with Sanxiu, even if the other party took the initiative to attack him, he still had the last glimmer of hope. I hope that the other party can become sober after hearing his words.

And these words, Xu Bansheng did not say it in vain, in the words, he had already joined the pure heart mantra he had learned before, even if the other party still had a trace of clarity, he would stop attacking at this moment.

However, it is obvious that the other party has completely lost his mind, after hearing Xu Bansheng's words. Instead, he followed the voice and attacked again.

on this. Xu Bansheng could only sigh, this person was hopeless. Of course, Xu Bansheng will not be polite to the other party, and now it has already become a life-and-death situation.

The cold iron dagger in his hand completely lit up, facing the opponent's weapon.

I don't know what kind of weapon the other party is using, in this dark environment, there is no light at all, Xu Bansheng can only rely on the judgment of the sound to defend, and return the color.

Fortunately, the other party was obviously unconscious, and he couldn't think of controlling the blade in his hand at all, so that it wouldn't make a sound of breaking through the air, which helped Xu Bansheng a lot.

Intersected with the opponent's continuous blades, Xu Bansheng found that the opponent's strength was obviously above his own.

According to Xu Bansheng's estimate, he will do his best, and he may be able to fight with Pan Dongliu, and even the hatred of the soul, he has the strength to fight. And the Hatred Soul and Pan Dongliu, when they encounter a foundation building heaven with relatively poor cultivation, they may not have the strength to fight. But this person, obviously, is still above the hatred soul and the pan east.

In the swamp of the ten directions, Zhuji will never be able to enter, and if he comes in, he will turn into a pool of black pus and blood and die, obviously this person who took the initiative to attack Xu Bansheng is also a qi refiner. Qi refining can have such strength, but he still runs into this swamp of ten directions, Xu Bansheng simply doesn't understand what is wrong with this guy.

Xu Bansheng is different from other immortal cultivators, that's why he came in, there must be a second person similar to him, right?

With the strength of this person, building a foundation is just around the corner, why fight so hard?

If Xu Bansheng hadn't thought that most of the scattered cultivators were definitely his opponents because of his own strength, even if the other party was a Qi Refining Nine Heavens, Xu Bansheng would not have taken such an easy risk. Only when you have enough certainty can it be called an adventure, otherwise, it is really looking for death.

However, Xu Bansheng didn't know that the other party was completely lost in the footsteps, and the whole person had already been affected by the breath of the flying demon outside the sky, and he was already a little demonized. And after the demonization, the strength of the immortal cultivators will skyrocket, but the price of this surge in strength is to go mad, and soon after the explosion and death, become a part of the black fog here.

What the innkeeper said was not entirely right, some of the scattered cultivators who came to the Ten Directions Swamp were of course transformed into fairy grass, and the other part was a part of the black mist after being demonized, or a part of the Ten Directions Swamp.

That is, Xu Bansheng was unlucky and met this guy, otherwise, it wouldn't be long before he himself would have died of atomization. But now, Xu Bansheng must also solve the problem in front of him.

Since the opponent's strength surpasses his own, Xu Bansheng will not be stupid enough to fight hard with the other party, he fights and retreats, and his feet are extremely skillful.

Not long ago, Xu Bansheng had bypassed a small swamp, and now he was going to lead this guy towards that swamp. With this person's style of play, as long as he reaches the edge of the swamp, within a round, Xu Bansheng can trick him into the swamp. (To be continued)
