Chapter 13: Immortal Fight
During the day, Zhou Nan continued to search the small valley in the direction indicated on the map. In the evening, I practiced "Soul Determination" over and over again.
Gradually, Zhou Nan sank into a dull and quiet life.
A person floating freely in the mountains, just like an immortal, isn't this exactly what he wants? Unconsciously, Zhou Nan's state of mind has become more and more transparent and calm, and all the breath of young people on his body has become weaker and weaker.
What Zhou Nan didn't know was that his current state was exactly what immortal cultivators were pursuing, the realm of forgetting both hearts and me. As an immortal cultivator, every time you enter such a realm, you will make great progress. In the years to come, Zhou Nan couldn't guess it, and even for a while, he himself was worried about such a realm.
But now, he can only ignorantly waste this great opportunity, and he has no consciousness at all.
There is no time in the mountains, and it has been a thousand years since I looked back.
Time passed day after day, and Zhou Nan didn't know how long it had passed, but he felt a long, long time. But recently, Zhou Nan woke up from this fluttering life.
There is no other reason, but when I was practicing "Soul Determination", my left hand had abnormal pain. At first, it was just a little itchy, and Zhou Nan didn't feel anything yet. But then, he realized that something was wrong, and his left hand began to swell, a full circle larger than his right hand, and gradually, his left hand began to shrink back to normal.
At this point, although Zhou Nan was surprised, after checking and finding no problems, he returned to his normal life. But things are far more than that, not many days later, the skin of his left hand turned iron-black, and the palm of his hand became hard, and when he struck, there was a sound of steel.
Although this does not affect normal activities, Zhou Nan can't sit still at this time. I began to think about the reason for the incident.
"Could it be that there is a problem with my own practice of "Soul Refinement"? No, I came step by step according to the cheats, and there is no reason to be wrong. The cheats are not wrong, he gave it to himself by his father, and if there is a problem, his father will not give it to him. ”
"By the way, I remember my father said that this is just a casting technique, which he summed up from his years of experience. Didn't my father tell the truth? If that's the case, then what exactly is "Soul Refinement"? Could it be that this pain, the change in skin color, is it a normal reaction to practice "Soul Refinement"?"
Looking at his black left hand, Zhou Nan pondered for a while. But for what reason, he decided to do an experiment and find out by trying.
Picking up the long knife in his right hand and looking at the sharp edge, Zhou Nan's scalp was numb. But then, in order to find out what he really wanted to do, he suppressed his fear. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he slammed his right hand and swung his long knife and slashed at his left hand.
only heard a crisp sound of 'dang', Zhou Nan's left hand tightened, and he caught the sharp blade stiffly. After being stunned for a moment, he raised his hand, Zhou Nan looked carefully, and his left hand was intact. Unconsciously, he opened his mouth wide, a look of shock
"How can this be, is this still a human hand?" After trying the psychic response of "Soul Determination" a few more times, Zhou Nan found that instead of weakening, the psychic feeling was increasing.
After trying it out and finding that there were such benefits, Zhou Nan was overjoyed. Not only did he not give up practicing the "Soul Determination" because of the pain and the abnormal state of his left hand. On the contrary, more and more people forget to sleep and eat.
But as a result, the pain in the left hand became more and more intense. Often, even Zhou Nan felt unbearable and died of pain. But he still gritted his teeth and fell into another crazy practice.
After cultivating the "Soul Decision" again, Zhou Nan gasped fiercely, lying on the ground in a large shape, his whole body as if he had been watered by sweat. His eyes were fixed on the top of the cave, and the bones of his whole body seemed to be dismantled and reassembled, and he had no strength. At this moment, he didn't even want to move a finger, he just wanted to lie quietly and comfortably like this.
A quarter of an hour passed, regaining a trace of strength, Zhou Nan sat up, looked at his left hand, which had become softer, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of curvature.
"It seems that this cheat is really right, although the pain is abnormal when you practice, but it has this effect, and it is worth it. After speaking, he didn't forget to wave his left hand vigorously.
Standing up, Zhou Nan moved his body and said softly, "Go for a walk outside!" He drew his long knife and strode towards the outside of the cave. This is Zhou Nan's habit, every time he finishes cultivating, he will go out for a walk. And this cave is Zhou Nan's current home.
The midnight sky is always dotted with shining stars. Against this black-black backdrop, the stars resemble cheerful elves, using their unique way to bring peace and tranquility to all things.
Every time he came out, Zhou Nan would quietly watch the night sky, and only at this time would he feel a little quiet. This tranquility was different from usual, and at this moment, he didn't want to think about it.
Suddenly, a loud bang came, waking Zhou Nan up. "What's going on?" frowning and curious, Zhou Nan quickly ran towards the place where the voice came from. The nearby hills, usually let him turn over the side, and he couldn't be more ripe, and after a while, he found a place to make a sound.
"Well, there are people? In the depths of this group of mountains, how can there be other people at night?" With a cautious attitude, he dived forward for a while, and Zhou Nan was behind a mountain rock, staring cautiously ahead, and ran out of the road without carelessness.
At this time, the voice came again, and Zhou Nan could already hear it clearly.
I saw that not far ahead, two black shadows were facing each other, and the specific appearance was too dim to see really. Only the heavy voice, in the dark night, came far away.
"Senior brother, you have also run so far, it should be enough. Hand over the things, senior brother, maybe I'll be in a good mood and leave you with a whole corpse. A dark shadow said lightly, as if a life was nothing at all.
Hearing this, another black shadow kept pleading in a hoarse voice, "Senior brother, I really don't know what you're talking about? You chased me so far, if I really had, wouldn't I have honored you long ago, how dare I bother you to come in person?"
"Hmph, it seems that you don't plan to hand it over, my patience is limited, don't force me to do it. Otherwise, no matter how good the treasure is, you won't have the life to enjoy it. After hearing this, the black shadow said with a little anger.
"Senior brother, didn't you wronged me? No matter how many times you want me to say it, I really don't. Hearing this, the other dark shadow explained bitterly again.
"Okay, it seems that you really want to resist to the end, then don't blame me for being a senior brother. As soon as the black shadow finished speaking, he shouted, "Look at the sword, slash!"
When the words fell, a faint white light suddenly shot out between the two, instantly lighting up the night. Immediately afterward, there was a 'ding-ding-clang' fight. With the help of white light, Zhou Nan can clearly see the scene in the field at a glance.
It was the two men who were fighting, both in their mid-twenties. It's just a good-looking one, and one with a somewhat slippery head. The one who was called the senior brother was a handsome man, and a half-foot-long silver short sword was flying in front of him, and the sword body was shining with a one-foot-long sword, and under his command, he was attacking trickily. Occasionally, the sword shot at the stone, slicing a large piece in an instant.
The slippery young man was wearing a two-foot-sized turtle shell-shaped shield, struggling to resist the attack. In every attack of the silver dagger, the turtle shell shield always blocked the dagger in advance, protecting the slippery young man from the airtight.
However, in each collision, the slippery young man would involuntarily retreat, and a deep sword mark would be left on his shield.
As time passed, the slippery young man gradually couldn't keep up with the attack, and his body was stabbed by a short sword from time to time, and after a while, he turned into a bloody man.
Looking at all this, at this moment, Zhou Nan even forgot to breathe. I couldn't help muttering: "Oh my God, what kind of battle is this, the silver short sword that can fly by itself, the shield that will automatically protect the Lord, extremely sharp, like a white sword that easily splits the red stone like cutting tofu." ”
Everything in front of him had surpassed his realization. How hard these red stones are, Zhou Nan has a deep understanding. This is by no means a duel between martial arts masters, Zhou Nan himself is also a master, playing three hundred iron horses invisibly, but it is far from being able to do so, this is a battle that completely surpasses his own cognition.
At this point, even if Zhou Nan was firm-hearted, he was shocked. Looking at the battle, the heart had already flown nine days away. "It would be nice if I could do the same, wouldn't this be a fairy!"
In Zhou Nan's reverie, the battle in the field changed again. The slippery young man slammed the silver short sword away, jumped backwards for more than ten feet, and widened the distance between him and the beautiful young man.
After taking a few breaths, the slippery young man panted and shouted, "Surnamed Qian, don't deceive people too much, everyone is a disciple of the Xuanhuo Sect, you actually killed the same junior disciple, you are not afraid of being caught by the master, this is a serious crime? What's more, the rabbit still bites people when he is in a hurry, even if your mana is two levels higher than mine, but I don't want to do my best, don't think about it." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Nan suddenly woke up, "Xuanhuo Sect, they are Xuanhuo Sect monks, no wonder I don't think this is a battle between mortals, no wonder!
If so, wouldn't he have gotten news from them? Thinking of this, Zhou Nan suddenly stared at the field with fiery eyes, really afraid that he would accidentally miss something. It seems that the first lesson of his immortal dream is going to be taught here. As for going down to beat them and interrogating the news, as long as Zhou Nan's brain was not kicked by the donkey, he would not do that stupid thing.
After hearing this, the beautiful young man laughed loudly, "Just rely on your waste, you dare to blackmail me." As long as I beat you to the ground, and don't say anything about the heavens and the earth, who can know that I did it? As for you, at most, it's just a shrimp, and you still want to learn how to bite people in a hurry, jokes! Even if you hand over your things now, I won't let you go again. After saying that, he raised his sword again and killed.
Seeing this, the slippery young man finally stopped holding out hope. Suddenly, he roared inwardly: "You forced me, I can't live, and you don't want to be better." What I can't get, I won't cheapen others. Come on, let's die together!"
After speaking, he shouted "Hundred ghosts devouring souls, exploding", and suddenly, a burst of black light rose from his whole body. Seeing this, the slippery young man laughed, but he didn't dodge at all, and rushed towards the beautiful young man, and the silver short sword pierced through him. But his goal was achieved, and he approached the beautiful man in an instant.
All this changed too quickly, and it was completely beyond the expectations of the young man in white. looked at the slippery young man who was close at hand, and his whole body was extremely black. The handsome man's face was also full of horror at this moment. 'Damn', before the words were finished, there was a loud 'boom', and the rubble rained down on the plantain.
After a while, in his field of vision, Zhou Nan only saw a black cloud more than ten zhang large rising in front of him. When the black clouds rolled violently, a ghost crying wolf howl came, and Zhou Nan only felt chills all over his body.
After settling down, Zhou Nan did not go out of the field immediately after, still observing the battlefield behind the stones. This is the first time I've seen the battle of immortal cultivators, and the ghost knows what else will happen to the Dao, so it's better to be careful.
Fortunately, Zhou Nan's caution saved his life unconsciously. After a while, a burst of blue light suddenly shot out of the black mist, and after hundreds of screams, the howl of ghosts and wolves in the black clouds disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the mountain wind blew and the black fog slowly dissipated. After everything was over, Zhou Nan looked into the field again, and the goal was a big pit several feet deep. In the center of the pit, a figure stood.
looked intently, and saw that at this moment, the originally handsome man was already unkempt, and his clothes were in pieces, and he was standing there in embarrassment.
In his left hand, he was holding a piece of rune paper with a faint blue light. The breeze blew, and the rune paper suddenly dissipated with the wind. Brushing the hair in front of his forehead, the man surnamed Qian looked at his empty left hand, and suddenly felt a heartache.
Coughing a few times, the man surnamed Qian gritted his teeth and scolded: "Damn, I didn't expect this little shrimp to be so careless." If it weren't for this mid-grade defense talisman paper, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured. I hope to gain something, otherwise I will lose a lot. ”
