Eight hundred years later.

......

Five states continent.

In the territory of Lingzhou in the east of the mainland, there is a huge mountain range called Baishan Ancestor, and among the Baishan Ancestors, there is another Immortal Sword Sect named Lotus Sect.

In a deep mountain about fifty miles away from the Lotus Sect, there was a group of young people walking in the forest at this moment, all of them were wearing linen robes and carrying a long sword, all of them were inner disciples of the Lotus Sect.

The person at the head is named Chen Qinghe, he has a resolute complexion, a square face, and looks quite upright, he is the highest cultivator in the group, and he is also the senior brother who is the team leader.

"We have gone deep into the hinterland of the Yellow Hair Peak, and not far in front of us is the territory of the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger, presumably you have all learned the information of this spirit beast before setting off, this time facing the third-level spirit beast, you must not take it lightly. Chen Qinghe, who was at the front of the team, spoke.

"Senior brother, I think you are too cautious, although the third-level spirit beast is much stronger than the sword cultivation of the same level, but there are not five of us? Oh, I forgot, the little junior brother seems to have just reached the second floor. The person who answered was named Zhou Mi, and he glanced at the junior brother at the back of the line, and said with some sarcasm.

In the Five States Continent, there is only one standard for measuring sword cultivation, that is, there is a sword tower in the major sword sects, the sword tower is divided into nine layers, it is said that in each layer there is a sword qi left by the ancient predecessors, as long as the cultivation is able to withstand the sword qi of each layer, it is equivalent to having that level of cultivation. Another more detailed statement is that since the sword tower has nine layers, some people divide it into three levels, with three layers as a unit, and so on, so there are the lower three realms, the middle three realms, and the upper three realms.

As a sword cultivator in the world, he can reach the height of a three-story building before the age of thirty, and he can already take it out as an after-dinner conversation to show off, for example, in the Lotus Sect, the cultivation of the three-story building is also the entry standard for inner disciples, as for those sword cultivators who can step into the middle three realms, almost all of them are elder-level figures, but it is quite difficult to go from the third floor to the fourth floor, because this is a recognized feng shui ridge.

As for the Middle Third Realm to the Upper Third Realm, that is not something that can be achieved just by hard work, after all, in the entire Lotus Sect, there is only one Lotus Sect Master.

In the face of Zhou Mi's somewhat sarcastic words, as a junior brother Xu Yan, who was relatively weak in both age and strength among the five people, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Senior Brother Zhou, you only stepped into the third floor at the age of twenty-eight, it can be said that you stepped on your tail and became an inner disciple, what is there to be proud of? I am only sixteen this year, but I am confident that I will catch up with your realm before I am twenty years old, not to mention that I am invincible at the same level, but now I have 'Fuyao' in my hand, but if I really want to fight, I am really not afraid of you." ”

For his weakness being bluntly broken by the other party, Rao is Zhou Mi, who is quite insightful in qi cultivation kung fu, can't help but have a hot face, and the eyes that were extremely slender are even more squinted, like a cold glow.

"You're such a big ......" Zhou Mi was about to scold him, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Chen Qinghe at the front of the team, who dissuaded: "Senior Brother Zhou, everyone is the same disciple, what's so noisy about this kind of trivial matter? Fuyao 'all admit the Lord on their own, don't say it's you, even I am not sure that I can defeat him, this is not ashamed, I know you are not convinced, but now we have a task in our bodies, everything must be focused on the overall situation, as for private matters, everything will be said after you return to the sect. ”

In the face of Chen Qinghe's forcible dissuasion, although Zhou Mi was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't continue to say anything, so he snorted coldly at the moment.

Seeing that the other party was deflated, Xu Yan, who was already arrogant, disagreed, and said lightly: "Some people are not very capable, but they like to sneer at others very much, and I don't know where the confidence comes from!"

When Zhou Mi heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, he was furious in his heart, and he immediately wanted to draw his sword out, but Chen Qinghe turned his head and looked at him coldly, and scolded: "Senior Brother Zhou, what do you want to do?"

Facing Chen Qinghe, who was four years younger than himself, Zhou Mi was already unconvinced, and immediately looked at each other coldly, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Chen really wants to favor this kid so much?"

As the first disciple of the inner sect, Chen Qinghe naturally could not be a stunned young man, but in the face of this kind of thing, he also felt quite helpless, after all, it is common for the disciples of the same sect to compete with each other, but Chen Qinghe knew that Zhou Mi's attitude towards Xu Yan had another reason, but that was not within the scope of his jurisdiction.

Chen Qinghe's face softened slightly, sighed, then turned his gaze to Xu Yan again, and said in a hard tone: "Okay, junior brother, you should say a few words." ”

Xu Yan shrugged his shoulders and did not continue.

At this moment, a loud sound of hitting leaves suddenly sounded in the forest, which made Chen Qinghe, who was the leader, suddenly vigilant, and said coldly: "It's not good, the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger seems to have discovered us." ”

A moment later, the sound of the leaves was close at hand.

Being in the verdant forest, the attention of the group was very concentrated, after all, the yellow hairy tip of the Baishan Ancestor was originally an area where spirit beasts were everywhere, but they never thought that the group would take the lead in alarming the spirit beasts due to the previous senseless dispute.

A tiger's roar resounded through the forest.

In the dense forest in front of the five people, a huge figure suddenly jumped out from behind the bushes and landed in front of the five people.

As a third-level spirit beast, the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger is no longer comparable to ordinary tigers, its size is huge, it looks about two zhang tall, and more than three zhang long, its body is red, and its body exudes a powerful aura.

Seeing this, Chen Qinghe's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Quick, collectively take out the sword and set up the sword formation." ”

Hearing this, the remaining four inner disciples of the Lotus Sect all pulled out their long swords behind their backs, and then their figures swept around, occupying their respective positions, with Chen Qinghe as the main gate, forming a five-cornered trend in an instant, surrounding the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger in it.

Seeing this, the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger let out a dull low roar in his throat, and pounced on the human in front of him.

When Chen Qinghe saw the spirit beast rushing towards him, he immediately flew away and retreated, not daring to confront it head-on. As a sword cultivator, unlike the martial cultivators in the world, the body of the sword cultivator has always been the most fatal weakness, not to mention that in the face of such a spirit beast with great strength, if it is accidentally hit by it, even if it does not die, it will be seriously injured.

So, Chen Qinghe deftly dodged a tiger pounce from the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger, and then his footsteps were light, and his body suddenly moved forward, holding a long sword in his right hand, and stabbed straight out of the face of the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger, trying to pierce its head with a sword.

The Demon Rock Fierce Tiger was also furious when it saw that the human in front of him was so fierce, but the tiger's head tilted, and it was very dexterous to dodge this sword, however, it was able to dodge the frontal sword, but it could not avoid the remaining four sword cultivators at the same time.

The four long swords stabbed at its body in unison, leaving four bloody wounds, although it was not fatal, but it still made this demon rock fierce tiger that had been king of the mountain for decades roar again and again, and then, it swung its tail angrily, ignoring the bleeding wound on its body, and threw the tiger's tail directly on one of the inner disciples of the Lotus Sect.

'Bang'!

This disciple of the Lotus Sect named Chen Qingshan, who was thrown head-on by the Tiger Tail of the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger, could not withstand this huge force at all, and immediately blood sprayed wildly, and his body was like a kite with a broken line, falling into the bushes more than ten zhang away, making a loud sound.

One hit, life and death are unknown.

"Aoyama !!"

Seeing that his younger brother was hit, Chen Qinghe shouted, and no longer cared about the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger that had fallen into madness, and flew towards Chen Qingshan, but the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger was unforgiving, and rushed towards Chen Qingshan, who had already fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Qinghe's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted angrily: "Beast, you dare!", and immediately, his body suddenly exerted force, increasing his speed several times, he had to stop this Demon Rock Fierce Tiger before it arrived, otherwise his younger brother would definitely die.

Not far away, seeing that the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger actually knew how to use the method of exchanging injuries for injuries, and forcibly broke through the five-person sword formation, Xu Yan was slightly moved in his heart, this spirit beast already had spiritual wisdom compared to ordinary spirit beasts, if it grew to the fourth level, its strength might more than double it.

Just when Xu Yan thought for a while, the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger had already galloped out for more than ten zhang, its front hooves turned into claws, and directly grabbed Chen Qingshan who was fainting to the ground, but just as its front hooves were about to land, the long sword in Chen Qinghe's hand had already broken through the air.

'Flutter'!

The long sword pierced directly into the abdomen of the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger, and after the tiger was in pain, it let out a terrible roar, at this moment, it seemed to realize the danger from death, and without the slightest hesitation, it swung its huge tiger head towards Chen Qinghe's side.

Seeing the tiger's head attacking him fiercely, it was impossible for Chen Qinghe to draw his sword and dodge, so he had to abandon the long sword in his hand and bend his arms to protect his chest, trying to block the huge force of the tiger's head swinging with his hands.

However, after Chen Qinghe's body was hit by the tiger, he still flew out five or six feet, rolling up fallen leaves all over the ground, but compared to his younger brother, he was much less injured when he was prepared, but even so, his two arms were also broken, and it was impossible to raise his sword and fight again in the short term.

Feeling the sharp pain coming from his abdomen, the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger finally felt a trace of fear, and immediately stopped fighting, ignoring the humans who fell in front of him, and a tiger leaped towards the dense forest, trying to escape.

Seeing the injured tiger retreating, Zhou Mi, Xu Yan and another inner disciple who had not yet been injured all turned pale, and Zhou Mi said coldly: "Chase quickly, this evil beast wants to escape, it is now seriously injured, and its combat strength has been greatly damaged, and the three of us will definitely be able to kill it together." ”

Xu Yan had no objection to this, but just turned his head to look at the injured Chen Qinghe, and when he saw that the latter nodded, he took the famous sword in his hand and chased towards the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger.

The three of them shuttled quickly through the forest, chasing along the bloodstains on the ground for more than half an hour before they caught up with the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger, which was already seriously injured. At this moment, the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger was lying on a relatively empty grass, and next to it, there was an incomparably simple altar like a land altar set up by a rural farmer, but the three of them didn't care about it, because their attention was focused on this injured beast.

The breath of the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger was already very weak, and it lost a lot of blood and water all the way to it, Zhou Mi looked at it, calmed down his breath slightly, and then turned to Xu Yan and said: "Little junior brother, this beast is on the verge of dying, but for the sake of safety, in case it will hurt people again when it counterattacks, I think it is still not possible to get close to it hastily, it is better to use your flying sword to kill it, how about it?"

Xu Yan's face was slightly pale, he turned his head to look at the gloomy Senior Brother Zhou, this time he felt that what he said also made some sense, and then, he put his hands together, silently recited the sword trick in his mouth, and the 'Fuyao' behind him flew out on its own, slashing towards the Demon Rock Fierce Tiger in the distance.

Looking at the other party's cultivation of only a two-story building, Zhou Mi on his side could not be said to be envious, and even hid a strong jealousy, however, it was still a cold killing intent to occupy it. So, when the other party controlled the natal flying sword and flew into the distance, Zhou Mi suddenly lifted the long sword in his hand and stabbed the latter's body fiercely.

'Flutter'!

Feeling the pain in his body, Xu Yan realized that his body had been pierced by the other party, he turned his head to look at Zhou Mi's hideous and sneering face, and said with some difficulty: "Zhou ...... Zhou Mi...... How dare you kill me?"

Zhou Mi snorted coldly, and said sharply: "I killed you, if you want to blame, you are only to blame yourself for being too ostentatious, and such a famous sword is not something that you, a small two-story person, can have, but don't worry, I will keep you a whole corpse!"

Pulling out the long sword in his hand from the other party's body, Zhou Mi put a foot in Xu Yan's abdomen, and immediately kicked his body out three feet away.

Feeling that the vitality in his body was rapidly draining, Xu Yan's consciousness began to blur, and Fuyao in the distance was no longer under his control, and fell to the ground.

Am I going to die?

With the last question, Xu Yan closed his eyes and died with a heart full of resentment.

After Zhou Mi stabbed the other party to death with a sword, his heart was relieved, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, if it wasn't for this person, his cousin would be the most talented person among the inner disciples of this class, but now it doesn't matter.

Zhou Mi paced over to Xu Yan's dead body, glanced at it with great contempt, and sneered: "No matter how high your talent is, I can also strangle you in the cradle, heh, you are still too young." Immediately, he walked into the distance, bent down and picked up the 'Fuyao', thinking to himself that this sword finally had a chance to become his cousin's.

However, just when Zhou Mi was still immersed in his own imagination, he didn't know that in this dense forest, a very low sigh sounded, and then a drop of golden liquid floated out from the altar next to him, and finally submerged into Xu Yan's wound that was pierced by his sword.

......

Eight hundred years ago, the 'flame' that reached the top of the martial arts was crushed into powder by the power of heaven and earth in front of the heavenly ravine, but the 'wilderness' at that time didn't know that in the end, a drop of source blood escaped by the 'flame', and as the 'flame' that had reached the top in the martial arts, as long as there was still a drop of source blood remaining, it could be resurrected from the dead when it found a suitable opportunity.

And now, the dead Xu Yan is his opportunity.

As a result, after the golden blood was completely integrated into Xu Yan's body, its incomparably powerful vitality began to make the latter's dead body function gradually resurge, and the fatal sword wound was also healing rapidly.

Only half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Yan's body was already intact, and he could no longer see the slightest scar on his chest, and then, Xu Yan, who was completely dead, suddenly opened his eyes.

Xu Yan came back to life, but in fact, the original 'Xu Yan' was indeed dead, and the soul that was resurrected in Xu Yan's consciousness at this moment was the former martial ancestor 'Yan', but he occupied the other party's body.

But whether in a past life or in this life......

From now on, there is only this one life!
