The sky above the small Shigang Village was faintly filled with blood, and there were many wandering spirits between the houses in the village, and the ground was full of congealed blood, and a smell of blood lingered back and forth.

Zhang Yan's eyes were blank, holding a crumpled yellow paper in his hand, on which was a requiem drawn with his own blood, staggering between the small village houses, his mouth kept chanting the name of his sister "Yaya", and the wandering spirits around him were nothing.

Until nightfall, Zhang Yan didn't know how many laps he had swam around the small village, and at this moment he was finally too tired to stop, standing alone at the intersection of the village, full of gloom.

Looking blankly at the small village where he grew up, Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly flashed again, but with a boundless sad look, he finally couldn't bear the torment, and suddenly knelt on the village road, covering his face and crying.

I don't know how long it took for Zhang Yan to stop, raised his head, his eyes were red, but in that look, there was no more sadness and pain, and there was incomparable calm and indifference.

"Folks, I'll give you a ride, if you get there, you can protect my sister's safety......"

Zhang Yan muttered to himself, found a large piece of yellow paper from a pile of items on the ground, and then bit the tip of his tongue and squirted out a mouthful of essence blood towards the yellow paper, but the essence blood flowed strangely, slowly spreading to form a large requiem charm.

Zhang Yan whispered a requiem mantra, a little towards the requiem charm, the large rune "swish" flew to the sky above the village, a calming idea spread in the village, those wandering spirits finally stopped, full of blood and resentment, also slowly dissipated, and as Zhang Que recited the requiem spell again, the wandering spirits in the village finally gradually dissipated, into the reincarnation avenue.

The large requiem talisman in mid-air shattered with a "bang" as the geist slowly dissipated, turning into powder.

Zhang Yan put the piles of items poured on the ground back into the storage bag, looked at the bloody stone road in the village, and released a fire bomb technique, burning those filthy flesh and blood, but there was no one in the small village that was calm and peaceful in the past.

Zhang Yan took a fixed look at the village, resolutely turned around, and walked out along the mountain pass.

"What are your plans for coming down?" Void Yuanzi's voice sounded in his head.

"There are five Zhuji Dan in the storage bag, I want to find a place to retreat, strive to break through to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and then go north and leave here, if I am encountered by the Song family or the previous few Yuan Infant Old Monsters, I will not be able to escape. ”

Zhang Yan also saw his situation clearly, staying in Wei Chenguo, it was easy to be encountered by the disciples of the Northern Yuan Mountain or the people of the Song family, and as soon as the news that he was not dead came out, no matter how confident he was, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the old monster.

The southern edge of the Luoshan Mountain Range, although it is the edge, there are countless demon beasts running rampant, and the strength is even comparable to that of a monk in the early stage of the foundation building period.

On this day, a green rainbow swept through the sky, and in a blink of an eye, the person who came was coarse and linen, his face was slightly dark, and his eyes looked indifferently around the mountains, as if he was looking for something, not Zhang Yan or someone.

"This sky-sweeping talisman really can't last long, and it took a dozen or so to rush all the way, but it also saved a lot of time. Zhang Yan stood on the top of a big tree, muttered to himself, and then looked in a direction and flew away.

This is a hill facing the sea with the back of the mountain range, Zhang Yan flew here, he is going to open a cave here as a cultivation, preparing to break through to the ninth layer of the Qi refining stage in one fell swoop.

The Shadow Blade flew, and a simple cave had already been opened, although it was simple, but Zhang Yan didn't care.

He needed a long-term retreat, and before closing the entrance to the cave, he first refined some Bigu Dan, after all, it was not yet the foundation building period, and he couldn't do it.

When he put away the pill, he accidentally found that the dark green flying sword left by Xiao Jue had not been refined, and he didn't want to think about it, so he also practiced it before the retreat, because he had already condensed his divine sense, and the sacrificial training was relatively simple, and it was completed in less than a moment.

But then I suddenly remembered that since I had condensed my divine sense, I was trying to see if I could fly with my sword.

After the sacrifice was completed, the divine sense was released, and the little sword immediately burst into light, instantly becoming larger, Zhang Yan was excited, stood up and stood on the flying sword, and practiced in the sky above the hills, from the beginning of the trembling to the free retraction.

Zhang Yan quickly mastered the knack of flying with the sword, so he stopped wasting time on it, packed up, and entered the cave, and the entrance of the cave was resealed by him.

In this way, two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and spring has turned to autumn here, and the hills are overgrown with plants again, covering up the traces of the previous cave.

In the afternoon of this day, on the southern edge of the Luoshan Mountain Range, five figures flew from the sky, four young people and a girl in a moon-white robe, the girl's eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Senior Sister Xiao, we are now at the peak of the early stage of the foundation building period, as long as you and I become Taoist couples, with the talent of you and my single spirit root, double cultivation, cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds, in a few years, we can set foot on the Jindan Avenue, why are you still obsessed?" The young man who spoke was dressed in a white robe, with a brocade jade ring waist, a golden crown and tied hair, and a proud look on his face, and said lightly to the girl beside him.

"No matter how much you talk about this, it's useless, I'm dedicated to the Tao in this life, and I'm not interested in double cultivation. The girl stepped on an ice-blue flying sword at her feet, and her words were cold, and she said.

"Hmph, I don't know what to do, this is the oracle of the ancestor himself, and you will not be allowed to call the shots at that time. The young man's face suddenly turned cold, and he snorted coldly.

"Senior sister, let's hurry up and complete the task first, this fly can't be driven away, don't delay, it is said that the blood-red python is now a fourth-level demon beast, quite in the middle of the foundation building period, it is the offspring of the hybrid between the horned phosphorus snake and the red forest python in the deep sea, after mutation, it is extremely powerful among the demon beasts in the same period, if you want to kill it, it is a little difficult to get the blood magnolia completely. The young man who spoke was wearing a green shirt with his hands behind his back, his figure was slender, and his face was cold and proud, like a sharp sword.

"Well, Senior Brother Yang and the others will besiege the demon beasts, you can support in the back, you can see that you have entered the early stage of foundation building, and you must not attack recklessly. ”

The girl listened to the words of the young man in the green shirt, spoke surprisingly softly, and after speaking, she took the lead and flew away with the young man.

"Senior Brother Song, they are too ignorant, when they get the blood magnolia, refine the blood jade pill for the ancestor, activate the bloodline in your body, and enter the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop, then that girl will dare to disobey you. A man standing next to the young man in a white robe said angrily.

"Hmph, the so-called mission, but for the sake of my elixir, cover people's eyes, okay, keep up, I am free to plan this matter. The young man in the white robe looked at the young man and the girl flying away with a gloomy face, and said coldly.

"You two, you are only at the ninth level of the Qi refining period, and you can sweep the formation on the side, block the way of the blood-red python, and see how I kill the cruel animal. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he also flew away, and the two young men behind looked at each other, and then followed with the flying charm.

The five of them quickly swept the air and came to a hill, and the demon beasts around the hill were nowhere to be found, and the insects and birds were silent.

"Could it be that this blood-red python is in the middle of this hill? But there is no hole. ”

The two young men who were still at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, ignorance, this fourth-level demon beast already has spiritual intelligence, no different from an adult, how can the cave it opened up be discovered at will, if it weren't for the fact that an outer disciple inadvertently discovered the vision that there is a blood magnolia here that is about to mature half a year ago, how would we know that there is a fourth-level demon beast here. ”

The young man in the green shirt didn't pay attention to the other three young people at all, his words were cold, and he didn't pay attention to the gloomy faces of a few people after speaking, and he looked at the hills below that were only half a mile in size.

"The direction facing the sea is sparsely planted, it shouldn't be where the hole of the blood red python is, the back is dense and deep, and the hole should be there. "The moon-white robed girl is already holding a delicate gold ring in her hand, and her aura is flashing.

"Senior sister, don't be so troublesome, wait for me to directly cut this hill with a sword and dig its hole, I'm afraid it won't come out!"

The white-shirted young man known as Senior Brother Song said proudly, he had already sacrificed a big sword in his hand, and the big sword was sacrificed by him, and after saying that, the big sword "swished" and slashed at the top of the hill.

The young man in the green shirt couldn't help frowning when he saw this, but thinking of the blood magnolia I heard that the essence blood of the blood red python was maintained, this bit of sword qi and collapse would not hurt and lose its medicinal properties at all.

Moreover, the blood-red python is very terrifying, it will invade the essence blood and destroy the veins after being stained for a while, although it will not kill you, but your cultivation will also be lost, and it is not much different from dying, and it is not good to go up recklessly to explore the entrance of the cave.

The big sword of the young envoy in the white green shirt slashed at the hill with a "......bang, bang", and the hill was cut off in half in a few breaths.

"Hiss ......"

"Boom!"

A giant python with a length of dozens of zhang suddenly turned over from under the dirt and gravel of the hills, the giant python was blood-red, with a dark red horn on its head, two cold eyes, the snake was spitting, and it was not spewing scarlet breath, hideous and terrifying, and looked at the five people in mid-air angrily, but there was no intention of attacking.

The face of the girl standing in the crowd turned slightly pale, and when she saw such a terrifying and ugly demon beast, she still subconsciously felt fear in her heart.

"Senior Brother Song, look at what that is!" a young man behind Senior Brother Song exclaimed, his face slightly pale and pointing behind the blood-red python.

"Hey, it's actually a blood-red python incubating eggs, and it doesn't hesitate to use sperm blood to conceive, and the blood-red python born will be even stronger, but at the moment it has lost sperm and blood, and it is in a weak period, which is a good opportunity. ”

Senior Brother Song couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he didn't greet everyone, the big sword was sacrificed, and a strong cultivation at the peak of the middle of the foundation building period erupted out, pouring into the big sword, and the surrounding sand suddenly flew away, the wind was sweeping, and the big sword spirit set off a huge power and beckoned towards the giant python.

The blood-red python was manic, and the huge snake tail rolled over, hitting the half-low hill dusty, but it didn't dare to leave the cave that had collapsed, only to see that under its snake body, there was a huge blood-red demon beast egg.

The blood-red python saw the big sword flying towards him, and he was even more angry, "hissed" and screamed, opened his mouth, and spewed out a blood-red poisonous breath towards the big sword, the big sword was darkened, and the speed was slightly slow, but the big sword was under the control of the young man in the white robe, and it turned around, and "bang" slashed on the back of the blood-red python, the scales flew up, and the scarlet blood gurgled out.

"Let's attack together and kill it in one fell swoop, otherwise if you force it in a hurry, you may destroy the blood magnolia!" Senior Brother Song couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the giant python was injured, and he also thought of the blood magnolia, and shouted anxiously at the same time. But the hand didn't stop, and the big sword was swung down without sparing, and the tail of the giant python was cut off under the injury of the blood-red python.

Seeing this scene, everyone was reassured, it seemed that as long as each person made up a spell, the giant python would not die and be crippled, and they would not worry about destroying the blood magnolia.

But at this moment, an aura comparable to the peak of the early foundation building period suddenly rose from the other side of the hill, and the gravel and soil exploded in an instant, directly startling the five people.

One was dressed in a gray coarse linen robe, carrying a large sackcloth wrapped in linen on his back, with shawl hair and a swarthy face, but his eyes were brilliant and profound. But it is Zhang Yan, who has been in retreat for two years.

Since Zhang Yan came here two years ago, he began to retreat, and every day he meditated and practiced in the closed cave, for two whole years, in order to break through to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, he took all the five Zhuji Dan, practiced desperately, and never stopped, and two years of hard work finally allowed him to break through from the peak of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and used five Zhuji Dan, which is unimaginable, he couldn't help but sigh, I don't know how many Zhuji Dan will be needed when the foundation is to be built.

In the words of Xuyuanzi, with the appearance of Dao Ying, Zhang Yan is simply a demon beast, not only is his physical body strong, but even the mana required for cultivation is terrifyingly large, but it is extremely difficult to break through.

However, Zhang Yan had already seen it, he had no spiritual roots, even if there were more Zhuji Dan, it was still difficult to improve his cultivation, he could only meditate and practice quietly every day, and then used other times to cultivate the last spell in the Qingling Gong that he had forgotten for a long time: the Qingling Finger.

According to Xuyuanzi who has read this cultivation method, he guesses that it may have evolved from a certain Five Elements Sutra exercise in ancient times, but Zhang Yan didn't care, he practiced hard every day, and with the guidance of Xuyuanzi, Qinglingzhi quickly cultivated to Dacheng, and the speed made Zhang Que feel incredible.

Originally, he wanted to leave after cultivating here for another half a month, but he didn't want to be knocked down by someone with a sword, and he was angry in his heart, fortunately it was not during the breakthrough period, otherwise he would have to go mad, but it still made him extremely unhappy in his heart.

At this moment, he saw the five people in the air clearly, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
