Chapter 1: Bloodthirst

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.

In front of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, Ghost Li, Lu Xueqi and Lin Jingyu stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere that was already very subtle suddenly seemed to stiffen, and all the attention of the three of them instantly condensed on the ancient sword that was stuck upside down on the ground in the field.

Zhu Xian!

The legendary sword that moves the world, involving endless past events and determining the fate of many people's lives, is quietly inserted on the ground at this moment, looking ordinary and inconspicuous, as if it has been integrated with this mountain, river and land.

It's just that the name on the blade is so dazzling and unstoppable, although it is silent but unruly, it looks at the people around it awe-inspiringly, so that the people around it can't breathe smoothly.

I don't know how long it took, as if they had woken up from the incredible shock, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but almost at the same time, the atmosphere between them had quietly changed.

Lin Jingyu's body instinctively moved, and he stepped forward, but after he looked at the two people around him, he frowned and slowly regained his body.

Lu Xueqi's expression was stunned at first, and then an extremely bright light seemed to flash in her eyes, and she also frowned slightly in the face of this ancient sword that had a supreme position in Qingyun and even in the world. Then, she subconsciously glanced at Ghost Li beside her, looking at his face, she quietly distanced herself from Ghost Li.

Ghost Li was silent, as if his face was expressionless, but in his eyes, it seemed to be burning like fireworks.

That sword, the ancient sword that has appeared in nightmares for ten years, is impressively in front of him, and the simple blade seems to be flashing with a simple light in the breeze of the mountains at this moment, reflecting in his eyes, as if it was piercing into his chest.

That one, the graceful and weak green figure that fell gently in mid-air......

'Ah......h

He seemed to burst out of his chest with a furious roar, tearing at his heart and lungs, and rushed towards the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, the Xuanqing light flickered, and the soul devourer roared in front of him, as if he felt the master's mood.

It's just that suddenly, there is a blue sword sword from the side, Lin Jingyu is holding the dragon slashing sword, which is already in front of him, and the angry jade sword light blocks the screaming Xuanqing black qi hard.

With a muffled sound, the two magic weapons had collided in mid-air, Lin Jingyu was drinking, and suddenly, but he felt that although he was under the white rì, he was accompanied by the strange magic weapon of the ghost, and suddenly the world was dark, and the ghost roared all around, and the body seemed to be bound by thousands of invisible silk ropes, and even in front of him, he couldn't help but have all kinds of terrifying illusions of the Nine Secluded Mansions.

And the ghost in front of him, I don't know when his eyes have become blood-red again, the murderous aura is great, and his body is even more ghost-like.

Lin Jingyu was dumbfounded, the blue light soared in the black gas thicket, and he jumped up from above, almost at the same time, the ghostly figure had instantly reached the place where he was standing, and the black qi suddenly spread out like demonic wings, swirling and converging like a ghost hand, submerging the ghostly figure, rolling like angry waves from all directions, surging towards the ancient sword of the Immortal.

Lin Jingyu was forced to retreat in mid-air for a while, unable to stop it, his heart was in a hurry, and he was shouting angrily, and suddenly saw the ancient sword of Zhuxian before, in the depths of the black qi, a light as bright as autumn water, blooming like frost and snow, the clear sound was clear, and it echoed far away, in the black gas bush, blooming like a flower, and a sword stabbed out.

Tianya!

The white light, like snow and frost, streaked through the air, and where it passed, the black qi dissipated, piercing straight to the deepest front, blocking the way.

Lu Xueqi appeared in front of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, her face was expressionless, and on top of a beautiful face, her face was white as if there was no trace of blood.

In the depths of the black qi, two points of light like ghost fire looked directly at Lu Xueqi, and the ghost roared, furious and irrepressible.

What does it seem, in front of you, roaring and wheezing like a beast, so strange?

The black qi soared, rising sharply from the ground to a height of several feet in the sky, and in the black qi, those two points of fierce ghost fire also disappeared suddenly. The corners of Lu Xueqi's mouth twitched slightly, her face was still pale and expressionless, only the light in her eyes flickered non-stop, like thousands of mountains and rivers, all passing by in an instant, and thousands of emotions rushed to her heart in a moment.

It's just that Tianya in her hand still refuses to give up, and the ancient sword behind her suddenly seems to have turned into an abyss, so that she can't retreat a bit!

An ancient sword, or a silent and ancient sect that raised her?

She raised her sword to the sky and stabbed it quietly, the sword light was like snow, but with a hint of desolation.

In mid-air, in the direction of Tianya's stabbing direction, a black shadow appeared, and the ghost appeared from the depths of the black gas, but in front of him, the soul devouring flew up, and in an instant, the black gas that was originally overwhelming diffused was permeating the air, and the whole body was black and the soul devouring screamed, and the strange blood-red filaments at the end of the stick had all lit up.

A pale hand, stretched out from mid-air, grabbed the Soul Eater, and descended from the sky, the wind and smoke were frenzy, and countless black qi condensed into a pillar at the front end of the Soul Eater, and hit it in the air.

towards Lu Xueqi, and also towards the silent ancient sword behind her.

It's just that after all, she still hasn't backed down......

The sword was like snow, sprinkling towards the black qi in front of him, and before he could touch it, the surrounding rocks, sand and dust had been vigorously rolled up, spinning and flying like a storm. Lu Xueqi stood in the center of the whirlpool, her face gradually blurred.

Tianya and Soul Eater, the two magic weapons flying and shining in the air, all seemed to be trembling slightly, as if the battle many years ago had returned to the eyes.

It's just that the light yīn is short-lived, like a blink of an eye, and the violent roar finally resounded in front of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion on the green clouds.

The wind and smoke quietly dissipated, the dust fell, and a few small pebbles turned lonely on the ground, involuntarily rolling gently into the distance, and finally rolled into the depths of the grass, never to be seen again.

Lu Xueqi was still standing in place, and her body did not move half a minute from its original place. Behind her, the Zhuxian Ancient Sword seemed to still exude an ancient light, staring at the woman's back.

Somehow, this peerless woman, the eyes and face she looked at at this moment, were so tired, as if the sword just now had exhausted her mental strength and body.

She bowed her head faintly, her eyes indifferent, looking at the unknown place. I don't know how long it took for her to slowly raise her head and look ahead of her.

That man!

That madman!

The man who was as silent as iron......

Those eyes looked at her silently, without murder, anger, love and tenderness.

Lu Xueqi's body suddenly trembled unknowingly, so slight that even she almost thought it was her own illusion, but then the pain in her chest that suddenly made her almost bend over and fall to the ground, like the sharpest steel needle in the world, passed through her heart.

Her face, pale as snow, suddenly turned red, her body shook slightly, and at the moment when her brows furrowed slightly, when she seemed to grit her teeth and stoic, she suddenly closed her eyes and bent down.

Tianya hissed softly, and plunged upside down into the ground, Lu Xueqi held the hilt of the sword, and spit out a small mouthful of blood, which splashed on the blade like autumn water.

The blood, gradually condensed into beads, clinging to Tianya's smooth blade, trembling slightly, and then, quietly slipping down.

The wind that blew from nowhere swayed in the open space in front of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, and there were a few light whistles in the wind.

The black qi dissipated, and the ghost stood there indifferently, the soul devouring glowed with a dark blue light, falling from the sky, and he reached out to catch it.

When Ghost Li looked at Lu Xueqi in a blink of an eye, Lin Jingyu had already turned around and flashed beside Lu Xueqi, blocking the ancient sword of Zhuxian behind him.

Ghost Li's eyes looked at Lin Jingyu coldly, and then turned to Lu Xueqi's face, these two people who are almost the most important people in the world to him now, but in his eyes, they are no different from strangers.

In the world, there is a light life, but how many people can accompany each other for the rest of their lives, and their lives will remain the same?

He gritted his teeth, bared his teeth, smiled but was arrogant, resolute and rebellious, and stepped forward with all his might. That ancient sword is right in front of him, even if it is a bottomless abyss, he has to rush towards it! Ten years of light, ten years of heartache, how can he give it up once?

Lin Jingyu had anger on her face, and the dragon sword in her hand rose again, and at this time, suddenly Lu Xueqi stood up straight, although her face became more and more pale, but her voice seemed to be as crisp and moving as it was back then.

'Stop!'

Ghost Li paused for a moment, stopped, and then glanced deeply at Lu Xueqi, and said abruptly: "You get out of the way!"

Lu Xueqi had a desolate look on her face, and said, "Listen to me, let's go! ’

Lin Jingyu frowned, glanced at Lu Xueqi, and stopped talking.

Ghost Li listened, but he didn't mean to understand Lu Xueqi's intentions, and sneered: "You let me destroy Zhu Xian, I'll leave immediately." ’

Lu Xueqi shook her head tiredly, and said in a low voice: "I can't let you do that, the people from the front mountain are coming over soon, and it's still too late for you to leave now." ’

Ghost Li and Lin Jingyu were stunned at the same time, listening attentively, and sure enough, they heard a faint noise of human voices in the distance, as if there were still a lot of people, arguing about what to shout.

In fact, when you think about it, this is not surprising. What kind of artifact is the Zhuxian Ancient Sword in Qingyunmen, the importance is incomparable, and Qingyunmen can't be found on the battlefield in the front mountain, so it is natural to search for it in the back mountain. Don't say it's the back mountain, just turn the entire Qingyun Mountain upside down, in order to punish the immortal ancient sword, I'm afraid that these disciples and grandchildren of Qingyunmen are also willing.

As the distant commotion grew louder and louder, it became clearer and clearer, and it was clear that the crowd was searching for it. The ghost squirted coldly, suddenly snorted coldly, and his body moved, but he didn't care about it, and flew towards Lu Xueqi and Lin Jingyu.

Lu Xueqi's face was miserable, but before she could make a move, Lin Jingyu had already pulled out her body, and the dragon sword 'woo' stabbed in mid-air like a cracked silk, and the sword was sheng, almost like a swimming dragon, opening its teeth and dancing claws, and rushing towards the ghost.

The ghost's face was cold, his body was like a ghost, and with a wave of his left hand, the Soul Eater wand flew out again, but he didn't care about the power of the dragon slaying sword at all, and directly hit Lin Jingyu's head. Lin Jingyu was stunned, this style of play was fierce and brave, but it was more like Lin Jingyu's style, and he didn't want to be ghostly, but he used it on his body instead. It's just that in the face of such a fierce offensive, Lin Jingyu's strong pride in the depths of the child was stimulated bit by bit, and he shouted, he really didn't care about the soul devouring magic wand, and the castration of the dragon sword was increasing unabated, and he was going to make a bet with the ghost to see who was more courageous!

As soon as the two of them fought each other, it was a life-and-death fight, and Lu Xueqi next to him couldn't help but shake his body when he saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes.

Just when the two of them in the field were about to die together, the ghost's body suddenly shook in place a few times, and it spread out like black smoke, almost like an illusion. Lin Jingyu couldn't retract his momentum, and flew forward with a sword piercing the air, he had already shouted in his heart, and looked back in a panic, only to see the black figure like a ghost, appearing behind him like a ghost, and flying towards Lu Xueqi.

This kind of strange magic is naturally not owned by Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, nor has it been seen in the Demon Sect, but it is a strange magic that Ghost Li slowly realized after reading the three volumes of "Book of Heaven", and it is not allowed to be seen by the world. I tried it today, and it was a great success, and even characters like Lin Jingyu were concealed. Even in Lu Xueqi's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It's just that somehow, the ghost power of the "Book of Heaven" magic has been cast, and at this moment, Zhou's body seems to be completely different from just now, not as ordinary people imagine, it is full of demonic black qi, his face is green, gold, red, and red in turn, and there is a faint look of pain, but his body is as fast as the wind, and it seems to be a step further than the right talent.

Lu Xueqi was suspicious, but she faintly understood. Unlike Lin Jingyu, when she was on the Western Swamp Divine Tree, in the 'Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House', she and Ghost Li saw the mysterious third volume of the "Book of Heaven" at the same time, with her talent and qualifications, compared to Ghost Li, it was even better, and she had already firmly remembered the "Book of Heaven" in her heart.

Although the Book of Heaven is strange and unpredictable, it is full of profound and mysterious truths that are not born in the world, and people in the Taoist are naturally obsessed with it, and it would be a lie to say that she has not studied it carefully over the years. It's just that this kind of magic can't be used with outsiders after all, and she didn't tell others, and what she saw was only the third volume of the "Book of Heaven", which was broken back and forth, especially the first volume of the general outline of the "Book of Heaven", which made her unable to start and obscure. Over the years, with her own talent and intelligence, forcibly comprehending, it has more or less helped her own cultivation, but it is not obvious, but it is also because of this, those elders of Qingyunmen have not noticed, otherwise Dao Xuan Zhenren, Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and others are such characters, how could they not notice the strangeness in Lu Xueqi's Taoist practice.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi saw the ghostly strange body method in his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly, but after seeing that the ghostly deceived Lin Jingyu, his body condensed from the black smoke in mid-air like an invisible thing, and quickly turned into his own appearance, but the speed did not decrease at all, and he flew straight towards Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi gritted his teeth, and suddenly his body took three steps back to the side, and he actually let go of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword that was close behind him and appeared in front of Ghost Li. This move Ghost Li and Lin Jingyu, who was in the distance, were taken aback, the difference was that Ghost Li's face was filled with a hint of joy, but Lin Jingyu had already shouted angrily: "Senior Sister Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Xueqi turned a deaf ear, a jīng light flashed in his eyes, as if he hesitated for a moment, but finally he still snorted softly, and the Tianya Divine Sword stabbed out in the wind, but what the sword pointed at was in the opposite direction of the ghostly power, in the blank ground three feet in front of the right side of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword.

'Poof!'

With a soft sound, the Tianya Divine Sword seemed to stab into the air, but for some reason, Lu Xueqi's body was shocked, and at the edge of the sword, after a moment of silence, blood splashed and sprinkled into the air. And the ghost who was flying towards Zhu Xian on the side let out a 'yah' roar in mid-air, and it turned into a puff of black smoke again, scattering and drifting away.

In the midst of this shocking lightning and fire, when the blood splashed like a flower, Lu Xueqi's face was pale and a little trance-like, a roar suddenly came, and the ghostly black figure flashed in the air, and the Tianya Divine Sword was inserted on his shoulder, but it seemed that he didn't feel pain at all, and pounced fiercely, and the blood-devouring beads at the front of the Soul Devouring Demon Wand were blood-red, and a blood-devouring demonic power came overwhelmingly, enveloping Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi lost her face, felt that the blood around her body was boiling and surging like hot water in an instant, and she was almost about to burst out, her mind was buzzing, the pain was unbearable, her feet were soft, she couldn't support it anymore, and sat down.

The ghost let out a long roar, the voice was terrible, and at the moment when the blood-devouring beads shone in front of Lu Xueqi's beautiful face, Shengsheng twisted it back, and at the same time waved his left hand and swept Lu Xueqi out. At the same time that Lu Xueqi flew out, the Tianya Divine Sword also went away, and the moment the sword was drawn, the blood on the shoulders of the ghost was flowing out like a spring. And Lu Xueqi was in mid-air, but the demon power of the blood-devouring beads was still surging like cháo, drumming endlessly, her chest was in sharp pain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a wow.

In the middle of the field, the ghost fell down, and there was nothing else in his eyes, only the ancient sword of Zhu Immortal. At this moment, he was covered in blood, and half of his body was quickly stained red with blood, but he didn't realize it, there seemed to be a strange pain in his face, and he stared straight at the Zhuxian Ancient Sword.

The ancient Zhuxian Ancient Sword was quietly inserted upside down in front of him, and the blade of the sword that was not stone or jade could not even reflect his face. Only that faint crack seemed to be as new.

The ghost looked up to the sky and laughed, looking like a madman, the years flashed one by one in an instant for ten years, not to mention that his left hand suddenly stretched out and grasped the hilt of the sword, and his right hand summoned back the Soul Eater wand and grasped it tightly in his hand, viciously towards the blade of the Zhuxian sword, and hit down towards the fine mark.

Lin Jingyu roared loudly in the back, trying his best to chase after him, but it was already too late, Lu Xueqi had just fallen at this time, and there was chaos in his mind, and in the distance, the group of people suddenly made a loud noise, as if they had discovered something, and they all rushed to the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion.

It's just that, in that moment, who can do anything?

It's like, no one can save a moment of light after all!

The soul devouring soul that flashed with dark blue light roared down in mid-air, and its owner was bleeding like a torrent of blood at the moment, dripping down his left hand, and a drop fell on Zhu Xian, cutting through Zhu Xian's seemingly rough blade, slowly disappearing, but it never fell to the ground at all.

Faintly, at that moment, Ghost Li's heart moved, as if some strange and familiar scene touched his heart, and swept through his mind like lightning.

After a moment, it dawned on him.

It's blood!

Out of the corner of his eye, at that moment, he saw his own blood, flowing onto the blade of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, especially when it flowed to that crack, slowly disappearing, quickly and silently merging into the Zhuxian Ancient Sword.

Zhu Xian! Zhu Xian!

Zhu Xian is actually the same as the blood devouring bead, and can actually suck the jīng blood of living creatures!

He was stunned and couldn't help himself, but the Soul Eater wand smashed in his hand had already surpassed the speed of the thoughts in his mind, and it hit the Zhu Immortal Ancient Sword hard!
