"Demon beast! It's a demon beast!" was surrounded by people running and crying, and in the distance, there were constantly terrible howls and human screams, and panicked people scattered like headless flies in the streets.

Eight-year-old Jiang Shang stood at the door of his house blankly, looking at the chaotic crowd outside, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was.

"Yan'er, why are you standing here, come in!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man ran over from across the street, and pushed Jiang Shang into the gate without saying a word, and then he also stepped into the door and closed the door with his backhand.

"Dad, what's going on? Aren't you going to take me to the woods to hunt today?" Jiang Shang looked at his sweaty father with a blank face, his father was a hunter in the town, he was usually humble and polite, but at this moment he seemed to be in a hurry and completely lost his usual square inch.

"Don't ask, shut up and be obedient!" The middle-aged man took Jiang Shang in his arms and strode into the room, in the room was a plainly dressed young woman, although she was dressed very simply, but her demeanor was generous, and it could be seen that she was also a very educated person.

This young woman is Jiang Shang's mother, she heard the chaotic sounds outside, and was about to go out to see what was going on, but she didn't expect to bump into the middle-aged man who came in with Jiang Shang in her arms.

"Daddy, what's going on outside?" The young woman couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when she saw her husband so flustered.

The middle-aged man's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't know why a large group of demon beasts have come to the village, and many people have died outside now!"

"Ahh She hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do now, run away?"

The middle-aged man shook his head with a calm face and said, "It's too late, this town is surrounded by demon beasts on all sides, and there is no way to escape." Right now.......I'm afraid it's more than lucky!"

When the lady heard this, her body shook a few times, and she almost fell to the ground, and said silently: "Why, God is so blind, he is only eight years old!"

The middle-aged man's face was gray, and he looked around the room, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he strode to the bed, where there was a dark compartment on the wall, which was used to put some valuables on weekdays.

The middle-aged man swept out all the things in the dark compartment with both hands, and then he picked up Jiang Shang and said anxiously: "Yan'er, no matter what happens for a while, you are not allowed to make a sound!"

"Why?" Jiang Shang asked confusedly.

The middle-aged man frowned, thought for a while, and said, "This is a game that Dad made with you, if you can hold on until dark and don't make any sound, then Dad will reward you with a whole bowl of sweet cakes." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Shang readily agreed, and his hands and feet quickly drilled into the dark grid.

The middle-aged man stood in front of the dark grid and looked at Jiang Shang, tears rolled down, and his trembling hands were raised forward, as if he wanted to hug his child again, but then he gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Remember, you must not make a sound!"

"Bang!", the door of the dark grid slammed shut, and Jiang Shang's surroundings became pitch black.

The air in the dark compartment is very stuffy, and the sound outside is not very real, as if there is a faint sound of something heavy hitting the window, the sound of furniture toppling,

On a dirt slope outside the village, a middle-aged scribe with a delicate face stood with his hands in his hands, and this scribe had nine jasper beads hanging from his waist, which was very eye-catching. Around him, there were several demon beasts with wings on their backs, neither wolves nor tigers, prostrate on the ground, as if waiting for his orders, the scribe looked at the village and frowned and said, "All of them have been killed?

One of the demon beasts lying on the ground raised its head and whined, and the scribe nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, then you should also quickly retreat, and leave one to check the situation." After all, this place is the hinterland of Middle-earth, and if it is too big, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the Terran monks. ”

After saying that, the scribe waved his hand, and his body turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared with the wind. The demon beasts on the ground then let out a roar and gathered in a group and ran towards the mountains and forests in the distance, only one of them reflexively ran towards the village.

Jiang Shang slept groggily in the dark compartment, and was not awakened from hunger until night. He rubbed his eyes, what time was it, it should be evening. Jiang Shang pushed the door of the dark grid with both hands, but the door did not move, as if something was firmly holding it outside.

Jiang Shang kicked his feet back, blushing and pushing with all his might, although he is only eight years old this year, he is born with great strength, and he has followed his father out hunting since he was six years old. As Jiang Shang pushed it with all his might, there was a crisp click, and the entire dark grid door was broken in half, and Jiang Shang didn't have time to retract his strength and rolled out directly.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, Jiang Shang raised his head, and through the faint twilight, he saw his parents lying in a pool of blood, his eyes that had long lost their luster looked at the roof in a daze, and there was still a distorted expression of extreme fear on his face before death.

Jiang Shang climbed to his father's side, shook his shoulder, and said, "Father, wake up, where is my sweet cake?"

His father lay motionless on the ground, unresponsive to his calls.

Jiang Shang looked out blankly, and through the broken windows and gates, he saw corpses strewn across the street outside, flowing like rivers of blood.

Is this all the work of those guys called "demon beasts" that people shouted before? Jiang Shang is just an eight-year-old child, his parents died tragically overnight, and his brain is in a mess, and he can't accept this fact. He walked slowly out the door, unnoticed by the threshold under his feet.

Jiang Shang barely stood still, what should I do now? Suddenly, his body shook, and he faintly felt that there was a looming powerful force at the edge of the village that flashed away, just like a dragonfly rippling across the water, leaving a clear imprint in his mind.

Jiang Shang didn't know that this was a perceptual talent, and it was rare among Terran monks, whether it was the demonic energy of the demon beast or the spiritual energy fluctuation of the monk, it could be detected in advance, so as to seize the opportunity in the enemy.

Eight-year-old Jiang Shang didn't know the role of perceptual talent, but his instinct told him that the power was very dangerous, and he had to run away as much as he could!

It soon darkened, and the ridges at night were exceptionally quiet, and even the croaking of frogs could not be heard around. Jiang Shang held a knife found from the courtyard in his hand, and walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot. His destination was the woods far from the village, where he had followed his father to hunt, and he knew the terrain of the woods well, so he had to find a place to hide. His expression changed as he walked forward, and he clearly felt that in the distance behind him, the force had followed closely. Jiang Shang gritted his teeth and ran towards the forest with all his might.

Near, the dark and dreary woods were already close in front of him! Jiang Shang rushed forward with all his strength, his body breaking through a low bush and rolling into the pitch-black woods.

Jiang Shang knelt on the ground and gasped for breath, there was no light in the woods, and the surroundings were completely dark. Suddenly, two points of green light lit up in front of Jiang Shang, Jiang Shang was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

Just as Jiang Shang's heart flashed this thought, a low roar sounded across him, and the huge claws slapped heavily on his chest, Jiang Shang only felt that his body was hit by a huge force, and flew straight back! He slammed into a tree, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body slid down the trunk of the tree softly.

The demon beast didn't immediately rush up to tear the child apart, and being left to guard it made it extremely irritable, but it was rare to have a plaything in front of it, and naturally there was no reason to let it go. The demon beast slowly walked over to the young man who had collapsed to the ground, lowered its head and sniffed, and then prepared to bite the young man's throat. Suddenly, there was a pain in its abdomen, the demon beast roared angrily, and looked down, but it was Jiang Shang who held the short knife in his hand tightly and pierced it into its abdomen.

The fur and flesh of demon beasts are much more solid than ordinary beasts, and ordinary swords are difficult to hurt them. It was also thanks to Jiang Shang's natural strength, coupled with the extremely close distance, that this injured this demon beast. The demon beast couldn't help but feel a burst of rage under the injury, although it was only a low-level demon beast, but it was also majestic on weekdays, and it could not be saved for a lifetime. Unexpectedly, he was stabbed by a child with a knife today! This demon beast raised a giant claw and pressed it heavily on Jiang Shang's chest, and under the force of the giant claw, a series of fractures sounded, and Jiang Shang's ribs were broken several times.

Jiang Shang screamed miserably, his eyes were blood-red, and he stabbed the short knife in his hand into the belly of the demon beast with all his strength, and the demon beast roared in pain, and slapped the short knife in Jiang Shang's hand away with one claw. Then he pressed his claws firmly on Jiang Shang's chest, and was about to bite off his neck.

Jiang Shang's eyes were blood-red because of the congestion, his mind was buzzing, and his limbs seemed to have completely lost his sense, was he going to die? He opened his mouth to breathe, but was choked by the blood gushing out.

"Ah——!h A dazzling light lit up from the void, and before the demon beast could figure out what was going on, it was cut into countless pieces of flesh by the staggered air currents in the air, turning into a rain of blood that fell one after another.

A ray of light rose from Jiang Shang's body and scattered the clouds in the sky! This light became brighter and brighter, even if it was more than ten miles away.

The power in Jiang Shang's body surged out more and more, and the surrounding trees broke one after another, and the fracture was smooth and flat, like a knife cutting a sword. Jiang Shang only felt that his body had swelled to the limit, and the sound of muscle breaking kept coming from his limbs, this power far exceeded the limit that a child could bear, and Jiang Shang was about to be blown up by this power and died!

At this moment, a hand was gently pressed on Jiang Shang's chest, and a gentle force was slowly injected into his body, Jiang Shang only felt that the power in his body that was rushing like an angry wave gradually subsided, and finally returned to nothingness. He looked up and saw a thin, gray-haired old man crouching in front of him, and a gentle force came from the hand he pressed against his chest.

The old man looked at Jiang Shang, frowned slightly, and said, "It's a shame that you can escape so far away with a doll, but the old man almost can't catch up!"

Jiang Shang squirted out a mouthful of blood foam from his mouth, and struggled to ask, "Immortal grandfather, did you save me?"

The old man looked at Jiang Shang and whispered, "Old man Huaishan Sect Ling Nanzi, what is your name, where are your parents?"

Jiang Shang's face darkened, tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, and it was only at this moment that he really felt the death of his father, "My name is Jiang Shang, and my father and mother have been killed by demon beasts." ”

Ling Nanzi sighed and said softly, "Now that you are an orphan, are you willing to go to the Huaishan Sect with the old man?"

As Ling Nanzi continued to inject spiritual power into Jiang Shang's body, he felt that the pain in his chest seemed to gradually disappear. Jiang Shang looked at Ling Nanzi and asked, "What's on Huai Mountain?"

Ling Nanzi smiled slightly and said, "There are senior brothers and junior brothers on Huai Mountain, there are door rules and precepts, there are supernatural powers, and there is a road to becoming an immortal!"

"After learning those supernatural powers, will you be able to fight demon beasts?" Jiang Shang asked.

Ling Nanzi smiled silently and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go to the Huaishan Sect with you!" Jiang Shang said loudly with a pair of big eyes.

Ling Nanzi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Shang...... Sorry, this name is a bit unlucky. He raised his head and looked around, more than ten big trees around him were all broken, fallen leaves flew all over the sky, and a leaf floated in front of his eyes, disturbing the residual sword qi in the air, and it was cut in half with a "snap", tumbling and falling to the ground.

"The sword qi starts at the end of the autumn wind...... Ling Nanzi looked at Jiang Shang and said slowly: "I give you a name for the teacher: Jiang Jianqiu." ”
