Good times are always easy to fade, time is like a finger of quicksand, five years pass in a hurry, Zhang Xiaosheng is already sixteen years old.

In the past five years, in the process of accompanying Young Master Lu to study and live, Zhang Xiaosheng can be said to have benefited a lot, from the stunned young man who knew nothing to a polite and polite young man, and he had a 'little life' temperament.

But those who know him well know that under that elegant appearance hides a warm but witty and somewhat wild heart.

In the past five years, Zhang Xiaosheng looked through most of the books in Young Master Lu's study, and knew that the world was divided into five continents, and the Huoyan Empire where he was located was only a medium-sized country in the Azure Continent, as for what the other continents were, there was no detailed record in the book for some reason. Legend has it that beyond the continent there is an endless starry sky.

Due to the relationship between Young Master Lu, although the inheritance exercises of the Lu family are not available, some basic techniques can be obtained by Zhang Xiaosheng if he wants to learn them, but Zhang Xiaosheng is more fond of those secrets, customs, treasures of heaven and earth, strange races, alchemy, tools, and puppets in the cultivation realm...... These things that others seem to be left-minded, so as for the cultivation of the exercises, so far they have only practiced a set of 'Aoki Resisting the Wind'.

Although Zhang Xiaosheng was not diligent in cultivation, under the supervision of the young master and Piaoxue, he also successfully cultivated to the eighth layer of the body refining realm, and the essence and blood of his whole body were greatly refined, and the meridians were basically all opened, which was comparable to the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

Recently, his cultivation seemed to have encountered a bottleneck, and the ninth layer had been unable to break through. No matter how Zhang Xiaosheng tried to do it, even Young Master Lu quietly distributed his elixir to Zhang Xiaosheng, but the ninth layer seemed to be like a stubborn piece of kraft candy, let you have thousands of troops, I will not move.

"Alas, it's still not good, I have to continue to accept their ridicule tomorrow!" After running the mental method several times, as always, there was no improvement, Zhang Xiaosheng simply lay on his back on the bed, bored looking at the stars outside the window, and silently recited in his heart 'The method of falling asleep': "One wife, two wives, three wives......"

......

"Shhhh

A piercing sound pierced the silent night sky, followed by the sound of 'boom' houses bursting, and screams one after another.

With a loud "boom", Zhang Xiaosheng, who was awakened, looked at the room in front of him with only half of it left, stunned, and looked a little panicked.

"What's going on, it's a dream!" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't believe all this in front of him. However, the roaring sound around him, the crackling sound of wood crackling in the fire, and the screams in his ears all kept hitting Zhang Xiaosheng's brain: "All this is true!"

Looking at the familiar courtyard drowning in the sea of fire, feeling the spicy blood splashing on his face, Zhang Xiaosheng, who had never seen such a hellish scene, was completely demented for a while, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Whew"

A gust of wind hit the back of his head, and Zhang Xiaosheng subconsciously wanted to bow his head, but he was still a step slower, and an instant bursting pain came from the back of his head.

"Am I going to die......"

Zhang Xiaosheng, who fell, twisted his stiff neck, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the person who attacked him, it was a hideous grimace, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.

"Die, devil!" a loud cry came from behind Zhang Xiaosheng, and he pounced fiercely on the ghost-faced monk, who was a member of the Lu Mansion.

The big knife was plunged into the abdomen of the ghost-faced monk, and the ghost-faced monk who was hit by the knife didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and his backhand was a knife to slash ......

"Shhh

Another bloody hurrier.

These happened at the moment when Zhang Xiaosheng glanced at the corner of his eyes when he fell.

"Two more lives!" this was Zhang Xiaosheng's last thought.

The piercing pain raged in Zhang Xiaosheng's brain, and Zhang Xiaosheng's eyes blurred, and then fell into boundless darkness.

With a "snap", Zhang Xiaosheng fell heavily in a pool of blood.

......

The fire had been extinguished by a torrential rain, and there was a ruin everywhere, and half of the unburned wood was emitting white smoke in the rain.

Zhang Xiaosheng's head lying in the mud suddenly shook slightly,

"Am I alive?"

Zhang Xiaosheng felt that his thinking was very confused, and bursts of fatigue kept coming, constantly urging him to sleep, without even a trace of strength to think, but instinctively echoing this sentence in his mind.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaosheng finally accumulated a trace of strength, raised his bloodstained head, looked around, silently ran his mind a few times, and turned over with both hands.

Zhang Xiaosheng, who was facing the sky on his back, breathed in the air for the rest of his life, although there were bursts of pain in his brain, it was not so unbearable.

Zhang Xiaosheng tried hard to remember what happened before his head fell into darkness, but when he thought about it, his head was extremely painful, as if it was about to crack, so he had to give up.

Silently accumulating strength, a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Xiaosheng finally supported his upper body with both hands.

Looking around at the familiar courtyard in the past, there was no longer the laughter of everyone during the meal, no longer the voice of Lao Wang calling himself a boy, no more the sweet concern of Piaoxue, and no more the constant command of the young master......

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng was sad in his heart, and couldn't help yelling to the sky, "Why, why is this, why did you ruin everything that is beautiful, God, why is this?"

He opened his mouth, but his hoarse throat couldn't make a sound.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! It's because I'm too weak, it's because I don't work hard to cultivate, and it's because I don't have the ability to protect everyone!"

Thinking wildly in his mind, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but leave tears of remorse. Mo Dao didn't shed tears, but when he was sad, this is a profound portrayal of Zhang Xiaosheng at this time.

Zhang Xiaosheng clenched his fists hard, his nails digging deep into the flesh, but he didn't seem to feel a trace of pain. For the first time, Zhang Xiaosheng deeply felt that his hands were so pale and weak.

What no one noticed was that when Zhang Xiaosheng's tears of remorse mixed with the rain continued to flow down his cheeks, a few drops penetrated his clothes and dripped onto the wooden box left to him by his parents in Zhang Xiaosheng's arms, but as if they were absorbed, they disappeared instantly. There was a faint flash of light in the wooden box, which was fleeting, and then a gap appeared in the box.

......

"Ahem......" A faint coughing sound came.

Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly became clever, could it be that there was still someone who hadn't died? Dragging his aching body, Zhang Xiaosheng crawled in the direction where the voice came from.

Gradually, the coughing sound came from under a burning blackened wood, and after a closer look, it was actually Lao Wang.

"Lao Wang is not dead!"

Zhang Xiaosheng's heart suddenly burst with joy: "The old immortal is really fate!" While crying, he accelerated and crawled.

After a lot of effort, Zhang Xiaosheng finally moved the wood away, ignoring the pain in his fingers, Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly shook Lao Wang and called

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, wake up, it's me, it's me, stunned boy!"

Lao Wang slowly opened his eyes, "It's you, Xiaosheng, it's great that you're still alive, I'm relieved now, cough cough ......"

"Lao Wang. What's wrong with you, it's okay!"

"I can't do it, all the bones in my body are broken, and most of my internal organs are broken. Ahem...... Leave me alone, get me out of the way, the snow is still under me, and she's still alive. ”

When Zhang Xiaosheng heard this, he hurriedly helped Lao Wang up, only to see Sister Piaoxue curled up under Lao Wang, already unconscious, but it didn't seem to be too injured, only some abrasions.

"Zhang Xiaosheng, Piaoxue will be handed over to you, remember to take care of her!" Lao Wang's voice became weaker and weaker.

"I will, I will......"

"Don't cry, look like a man there. "Lao Wang is already angry.

"Remember, the twin flowers of the grassland, the snow has ...... , cough cough, remember to tell Piaoxue not to blame me, don't go to revenge......" Lao Wang's words were a little vague.

Finally, he glanced at Zhang Xiaosheng again, Lao Wang's fingers moved slightly, and a blue fire burned out from Lao Wang's body, and Lao Wang's body gradually turned into dust in the fire, and quickly disappeared under the rain.

"Lao Wang!" Zhang Xiaosheng screamed in grief.

Holding Piaoxue tightly, Zhang Xiaosheng secretly swore in his heart: "This is my last relative, I must protect her well, even if it costs her a lot and sacrifices my life!"

From this moment on, Zhang Xiaosheng seems to have changed, he is no longer a person who lives a leisurely life and dreams of living a simple life. This series of encounters made Zhang Xiaosheng determined to become stronger, strive to become stronger, must control his own destiny, and control his own destiny.

Be sure to have the strength to protect your loved ones.

"Only by holding a sword in your hand can you protect your beloved" This is a sentence once said by the sword god Ouyang Luntian, and Zhang Xiaosheng deeply felt its meaning at this time.

What's next......
