Chapter 665: Cause
The bamboo forest in the backyard of Xufu suddenly made a rustling sound, and those bamboos seemed to have legs and feet at this time, changing their positions chaotically.
And Xu Yanshan also disappeared with the transformation of those bamboos at this moment. Xiyue's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and she raised her hand to arrange a spatial barrier around the four of them.
In the next moment, the bamboo leaves in the sky suddenly fell off from the bamboo like sharp blades and flew towards them.
At this time, in the depths of the bamboo forest, Xu Yanshan's laughter came: "Hehe, if Xiaoyou can break this formation, the old man will let the Xu family apologize to your friend!"
"Oh, what if I can't break the formation?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao looked up at the bamboo leaf blades surrounding the top and asked with a sneer.
His voice fell for a long time before Xu Yanshan sighed: "If Xiaoyou doesn't break this formation, the old man will let you go, but no matter whose fault it is, I hope Xiaoyou won't be held accountable, how about it?"
Hearing this, the cold color in Zhang Hao's eyes eased slightly, nodded slightly, and said, "For the sake of you not showing murderous intentions to us just now, I promise you!"
With that, he walked forward with his legs raised. Seeing this, Xiyue hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, and said with a slightly angry expression: "You are crazy, do you want to die when you go out like this?"
And Tie Yi was also worried, blocked in front of him, and said: "Brother, I think it's better to forget this matter, there is no need to risk your life for this!"
However, Zhang Hao sneered and shook his head: "A formation will scare you and me away, how can we hold our heads up in front of the Xu family in the future?"
As soon as the words fell, Tie Yi felt a flower in front of him, and the next moment, Zhang Hao disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in the bamboo forest.
As soon as they appeared, the bamboo leaves that were swirling nearby swarmed in, and the leaves made a sound of breaking the sky with a fierce sword aura.
The moment those bamboo leaves arrived at Zhang Hao's side, they were suddenly blocked by a strong soul force, and the formless transparent energy formed an indestructible barrier around him.
The swarming bamboo leaves hit it and were immediately dispersed by this energy. And Xu Yanshan, who was hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest, frowned slightly, his fingers flicked, and a spiritual power submerged into the soil around him.
The next moment, more bamboo leaves fell off the bamboo, converging into an emerald green torrent, with a piercing roar, rushing towards Zhang Hao.
Xiyue stood there, the veil on her face fluctuated slightly with her breathing, but her expression did not have a trace of worry, Zhang Hao's various methods had already been seen many times, and there were really not many things that could make him suffer in the cultivation realm.
Sure enough, when the emerald green torrent rushed to his side, the ground under Zhang Hao's feet suddenly fluctuated, and the next moment, it disappeared in front of Tie Yi's eyes.
"Tu Dun, hehe, I didn't expect the old man to see this kind of **!" At this time, a surprised sound came from the depths of the bamboo forest. Xu Yanshan shook his head helplessly, the soles of his feet stomped lightly on the ground, and under this forest, many roots and whiskers appeared intricately, like living creatures to besiege Zhang Hao who was hiding underground.
Generally speaking, this method will definitely work, but Zhang Hao is not only proficient in the art of earth escape, but also a kind of escape from yin and yang, hiding the five elements, the roots are wrapped around him, but he is unloaded by a special energy fluctuation.
Xu Yanshan, who was located above, knew everything that happened in the formation, and when he saw this, his white eyebrows suddenly wrinkled tightly, and he sighed lightly, and the expression on his face became solemn.
However, Zhang Hao, who had sneaked underground, walked quickly towards the bamboo forest.
If you want to break the formation, there are actually many ways, the most direct is to find the formation eye, or capture the person who manipulates the formation. The brutal method can also work, but Zhang Hao doesn't want to use it at this time.
Xu Yanshan found that the roots under the bamboo forest could not stop the other party's footsteps, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head, encountering this kind of thing, with his many years of experience, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it at this time.
In desperation, he manipulated those bamboo leaves and rushed to the ground, hoping to stop Zhang Hao.
"Master, Brother Wudao will be fine, right?" Xiao Yi found that Zhang Hao had disappeared for a while and still hadn't come out, so she became anxious in her heart, and asked by pulling Xiyue's sleeve.
"Don't worry, with his means, it's enough to deal with it!" His eyes were staring closely at the bamboo leaves of the flying shuttle, and Xiyue seemed to be able to see through the ground, and said with a smile: "The thief never wants to suffer, if he is forced to be in a hurry, this forest will ......"
At this point, she stopped talking, but waited quietly for something.
"Boom!" the emerald green torrent finally slammed into the ground, and the bamboo leaves were like sharp blades, knocking over the dirt.
And Zhang Hao, who was hiding below, scolded angrily in his heart, and hurriedly rushed out, and a blue and white flame surged from his body with a bang.
The bamboo leaves that poured towards him turned into nothingness out of thin air before they could come into contact with this blue and white flame.
Seeing this, a smile lifted on the corner of Xiyue's lips, and she snorted softly: "See, the way he looks now, he is annoyed and angry!"
Tie Yi saw Zhang Hao standing there, with a blue and white flame wrapped around his body, and those bamboo leaves, which were as sharp as knives, turned into ashes before he could get close to that flame, and only then did he really feel the gap between himself and Zhang Hao now, and a pair of big hands slowly clenched.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound in the bamboo forest, and then all the bamboo leaves fell off one after another, flying here overwhelmingly. And some bamboo poles also burst with a bang, turning into bamboo pieces, passing through the ground and rushing towards Zhang Hao.
Seeing that scene, Xiyue frowned slightly, and then sighed softly: "Little thief, stop playing, we still have things to do today!"
Zhang Hao glanced back at her, grinned, and the blue-white flames that swirled around his body suddenly turned into a silver color. As soon as this flame appeared, it showed a terrifying temperature, and the bamboo leaves and bamboo pieces that were overwhelming were turned into nothingness by the terrifying high temperature more than ten meters away from him.
Immediately afterwards, even the ground of this bamboo forest burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, the entire bamboo forest disappeared completely.
"Old decay admits defeat!" Xu Yanshan stood on the empty ground, looking at the silver flames around him, his expression gradually became solemn.
The power of this flame was beyond his imagination.
Zhang Hao slowly withdrew the spark, and waited until the silver that filled his eyes disappeared, and everyone took a breath of cool air, and the backyard, which was originally full of bamboo forests, had become desolate at this time.
Even the three thatched huts hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest in Xu Yanshan have not survived.
The originally damp ground was turned into hot scorched earth by the terrifying temperature of the Starfire, and in some places it even turned into blazing magma.
"It's worthy of the Heavenly Fire, and the old man can comprehend the power of this flame again, but it's a wish!" Seeing this situation, Xu Yanshan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I just never thought that in Xiaoyou's body, there are actually two kinds of Heavenly Fire!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao only frowned, then turned around and returned to the vicinity of Xiyue, the cultivation realm knew that the Zun Huo was the only one who stored the fire, and only Lingxuzi and his junior brother, for Xu Yanshan, he mistakenly thought that the immortal starfire was a kind of heavenly fire, and he was also happy to do so.
When his footsteps stopped beside Xiyue, Zhang Hao casually asked, "What's the matter today?"
"I'm going to do something later, I need you to accompany me!" However, Xiyue glared at him fiercely, although she said this, she secretly scolded in her heart: "Stupid!"
Zhang Hao didn't see it, and after nodding, he turned to stare at Xu Yanshan: "Now the Xu family should give us an explanation, right?"
At this time, he heard Xiyue behind him and muttered softly: "I knew that you would only use this kind of brutal method, hmph, this is not a broken formation!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and snorted, then stood there waiting for Xu Yanshan to say something, the method of breaking the formation just now, strictly speaking, did not agree with the cultivation realm, especially the ranks of refiners.
To put it bluntly, he is not called breaking the formation, but destroying the formation. But Zhang Hao doesn't care about this, in short, the formation can't be used now.
was reprimanded by him, Xiyue stopped speaking, just kicked a stone to Zhang Hao's back with his foot, although the force was not large, but after all, it was done by a cultivator in the Dacheng period, and the stone hit Zhang Hao's body, and it burst with a bang.
In this regard, Zhang Hao didn't bother to pay attention to it, his eyes just stared at Xu Yanshan.
As if he had discovered Xiyue's small movements, Xu Yanshan shook his head with a smile, and then sighed: "Xu Hai, bring those two evil animals over, what they are doing, there is no need to implicate the Xu family!"
In the arched courtyard gate leading to the backyard of the Xu Mansion, a group of people slowly walked out, Xu Hai, the patriarch of the Xu family, with his grandson Xu Jie, and even the dying Xu Shan was carried in by the guards.
When Xu Hai approached, he turned around and shouted, "Don't kneel down yet!"
Seeing this, although Xu Jie's face was unhappy, he still obediently knelt down in front of the ancestor of the Xu family, but Xu Yanshan's white eyebrows wrinkled because of this, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, if you still have my old bones in your hearts, kneeling or not kneeling is the same, Xu Jie, what you do, you still have to tell it yourself!"
Hearing this, the patriarch Xu Haigang wanted to say something, but was suddenly glared back by Xu Yanshan.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see Xu Jie speak, at this time, Xu Yanshan's brows became more and more furrowed, and he suddenly turned his head to Xu Shan, who was carried in by the guards, and shouted, "You say it first!"
As soon as he saw that the patriarch was angry, Xu Shan trembled with fright, and a hissing sound came from his shattered throat, but he couldn't say a word.
"No need, that spiritual weapon was put into Tieyi's acceptance ring by me!" and Xu Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke slowly.
After saying this, he first looked up at Zhang Hao, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, and then turned his gaze to Tie Yi, and sneered: "A separate family guard, who also dares to covet my Xu family, I didn't kill him, it can be regarded as mercy!"
"What's going on?" Xu Yanshan still wanted to protect this great-grandson from his heart, but when he heard this, he frowned and asked.
And Xu Jie's face was full of viciousness at this time, and he sneered and said, "What's the matter, your old man should ask him!"
Seeing this, Tie Yi's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, his eyes turned to the side, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you!"
At this moment, Zhang Hao knew that there were other twists and turns, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Is it because of Xu Che'er?"
This sentence immediately made the muscles on Tie Yi's face tense, and he stood there without saying a word.
At this time, Xu Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, showed disdain and even ridicule on his face: "That's right! It's because Che'er, this person is a guard, and he dares to secretly have selfish intentions against my Miss Xu family, and his heart can be punished, I asked Xu Shan to plant that spirit weapon long sword on his body, just to drive this person out of Xu Mansion, who knows......"
Before he finished speaking, everyone heard Zhang Hao sneer: "How do you know that in the end things are beyond your control, right?"
"Yes, if it weren't for you, this matter wouldn't have gotten to this point, and everything would have been ruined by you!" Xu Jie's face suddenly became extremely hideous, and his voice was full of resentment.
As soon as he heard this, Xu Yanshan shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Since the matter has been clarified, then ......"
But before the words fell, outside the round arch, a person hurriedly ran over, knelt down in front of everyone, and said: "Great ancestor, Xu Jie is the hope of the Xu family in the future, please let him go!"
After saying that, this person kowtowed to Xu Yanshan again and again, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Hao: "Brother Wudao, this qiē is all because of me, let it end with me, after Che'er dies, I hope you don't pursue this matter!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a dagger slip out of his sleeve and stab him in the chest......
