Gu Xueqing was originally in front of her parents' graves and was sad and weeping, but then she appeared in the forest, which can be described as two very abnormal breezes, but she felt a little surprised in her heart, so she had to quickly restrain her sadness, get up and walk towards the location where the movement was coming from outside.

And when she walked out only about ten zhang away, she unexpectedly noticed a burst of majestic sword intent, wandering in the night sky, which couldn't help but make her heart tighten, and she directly took out the sword from the storage bag, wanting to step forward to find out.

However, when she was about to use the qi in the qi fu to run the sword technique, she found that her qi was completely inoperable, as if she was being blocked from each other by a wall.

"What's going on? How can this be ......?"

Gu Xueqing asked herself in shock, her face became very ugly, she didn't hesitate at all, she directly controlled the perception and checked her body, only to find that around her two qi mansions, there was actually a layer of white mist.

Seeing this white mist, Gu Xueqing still didn't know what was happening to him.

"When did I accidentally eat the Absolute Soul San?"

After Gu Xueqing learned the truth, she instantly calmed down.

It is a well-known thing for cultivators in the world to disperse and be non-poisonous, but if a cultivator below the seven-story building or the seven-rank realm accidentally eats this thing, he will no longer be able to use any qi for the next twelve hours. This means that before the white mist in Gu Xueqing's body completely dissipated, she had no cultivation, no different from mortals in the world.

"Jue Ling San has long been determined by the dynasty to be a harmful poisonous and forbidden drug, and it can no longer be used by the official or the market, but I didn't expect that I accidentally fell for this poison. ”

Gu Xueqing smiled bitterly, at this moment, she had roughly guessed who had attacked her.

However, even if she guessed the answer, she still didn't stop because she had lost her combat power, because in addition to her, Xu Yan, who had always been at the same table with her, must have been poisoned by this kind of poison like her at this moment, and combined with the movements she heard outside the forest, Gu Xueqing's heart was a chill.

"Little junior brother!"

As soon as Gu Xueqing thought of this, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she directly pulled out her legs and began to run outside the forest, and just as she was about to run out of the dense forest, she heard a familiar sound, which came into her ears through the leaves.

"You've come here, and you still want to run?"

There is no doubt that this is Xu Yan's voice, Gu Xueqing will not hear it wrong, then, without any hesitation, she walked out of the forest directly, and saw with her own eyes that Xu Yan was holding the neck of a middle-aged man with one hand and hanging the latter in the air.

After the man surnamed Shi was suddenly choked by Xu Yan and hung in mid-air, the whole person instantly became dizzy due to the lack of oxygen supply, his feet kept kicking in the air, and his two hands struggled to slap Xu Yan's arm, obviously trying to break free of the latter's hand.

However, when he tried hard, he found that the scholar's arm was made of the hardest iron in the world, and he could not break free at all.

The man surnamed Shi was only suspended in the air for a short while, and his whole face turned as white as paper, and at the same time, the strength of the struggle in his body became weaker and weaker, and he saw that he was about to die.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yan's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see any emotional changes, but in the end, just when the man was about to suffocate to death, he threw the man to the ground again, retaining his last breath.

After the man surnamed Shi regained his breath, the whole person was panting like a cow, gulping and inhaling the air greedily, and the face that had turned from purple and black to white gradually returned to normal.

After the other party coughed for a long time and gradually regained his composure, Xu Yan still ignored Gu Xueqing, who was witnessing all this coldly, and just asked the man surnamed Yan who was half lying on the ground: "Say, who sent you to kill me." ”

Although the man surnamed Shi had returned to normal breathing at this moment, the lack of oxygen for too long before still made his head muddy and his eyes blurred, he shook his head very hard, trying to see the face of the scholar in front of him clearly, but he couldn't do anything, he replied weakly: "You...... You've obviously taken the Absolute Spirit Scatter, for...... Why is it still ......?"

Xu Yan heard that he was answering these nonsense, and he, who was already angry, directly stepped on one of the other party's knees, breaking his leg bone.

The man surnamed Shi felt this step, and even uncontrollably erupted into a scream. He never expected that the scholar in front of him looked at Tingsven, and his methods were so cruel and terrifying, that he would perform such a deadly torture on himself without saying a word.

The man surnamed Shi was different from everyone Xu Yan had met on the road before, and he directly screamed and replied: "Don't, don't kill me, I'm ...... I said......"

After Xu Yan heard this, he really stopped his follow-up actions, but he still didn't say a word and stared at him coldly.

The man surnamed Shi kept gasping, his right leg was undoubtedly abolished from now on, unless he could cultivate the martial arts to the point of dead wood and spring, but his cultivation of the four-grade realm would fall into this stubborn disease, that was no chance to improve his cultivation to that level in any case, because he would not be able to break through all the tricks below this broken leg in the future.

The man surnamed Shi gasped for breath in pain, but his mouth opened his mouth and replied: "I...... I don't know...... Who exactly wants to kill you, but I know that there is a big source over there, and I was personally sent by the sect master to intercept and kill you, and the absolute spirit scatter was also given to me by the sect. ”

Xu Yan was undoubtedly very dissatisfied with this unspoken answer, so he slowly raised his right foot and tried to step towards the other party's other leg. ”

Xu Yan retracted his right leg, and said without a trace of emotion in his tone: "If you say another nonsense, I will scrap your limbs and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves!"

When the man surnamed Shi heard this result, he couldn't help but cry bitterly and tears in fright, and immediately begged for mercy and said: "Shaoxia spare your life, Shaoxia spare your life, I ...... I was also forced, my family is under the hostage of the sect master, I have to come out to carry out this mission, otherwise, the sect master will kill my whole family. ”

Xu Yan was skeptical, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and when the man surnamed Shi saw this, he was inexplicably shocked in his heart, and hurriedly continued: "I...... I am the sect elder of the Feiyun Sect, and our sect leader is called Du Feiyun, and he sent me to kill you, but who instructed him to do this, I really don't know, no, it should be said that no one knows about this matter except himself. ”

Xu Yan asked in a cold tone, "Feiyun Sect?"

The man surnamed Shi replied: "Exactly." ”

There are eight second-rate cultivation sects in Lingzhou, three of which are among the Hundred Mountain Ancestors, and the closest to the two top sects are the Yunlan Sect, the White Crane Sword Village, and the Lingxi Valley, and in addition to these three sects, the remaining six second-rate sects are not so famous, but even so, Xu Yan, as a cultivation disciple from Lingzhou, naturally does not know about their existence.

Feiyun Sect is also one of the eight second-rate sects, but its sect's geographical location is located in the north of Lingzhou, and it is separated from the Hundred Mountain Ancestors by thousands of mountains and rivers. However, Xu Yan didn't care about this, what he cared about was why this Feiyun Sect Sect Master, who couldn't be contacted by his eight poles, would also find something to do and send someone to intercept and kill him.

Looking at the middle-aged man at his feet, who was only under the slightest coercion of himself, the killing intent in Xu Yan's heart did not decrease in the slightest, and he then asked: "Then your Feiyun Sect has any dealings with any official eunuch family or rich gentry on weekdays?"

After hearing this, the man surnamed Shi cried and shook his head and said, "I really don't know this, I'm just an ordinary elder in the sect, and I don't have any authority to know about this kind of sect secrets." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he didn't want to be verbose, so he just nodded slightly.

Then, he turned his head to look at Gu Xueqing, who was standing in the moonlight, her face was very cold, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, and said: "Senior Sister Gu, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and at the same time, I don't want you to feel caught in the middle and feel in a dilemma, but what happens is what happens, and you must be like me who can't ignore it, so how to end it up next is left to you, let's see you in Wangchuan City." ”

Gu Xueqing, who heard this, suddenly felt a little heartache, but at the same time, she also knew that Xu Yan was looking at her face and completely spared her uncle.

So, Gu Xueqing did not hesitate and walked towards the man surnamed Shi.

The man surnamed Shi was already shocked when he saw the other party walking towards him with a long sword, and said in horror: "You...... What do you want to do, you can't kill me, he promised not to hurt me before. ”

Gu Xueqing said coldly: "He is him, I am me!"

A cold light flashed in the moonlight.

Brought a large splash of scarlet blood and splashed it in this dense forest, and then saw the head of the man surnamed Shi, and directly separated his body and rolled out three or four feet.

After Xu Yan saw this scene, he didn't say anything more, turned around and slowly disappeared into the night in the direction of the return.

Gu Xueqing stood in place, watching him leave slowly, and she didn't say a word until a long time later, she took a deep breath, and then she bent down to pick up the head that had been separated by her sword, and walked briskly towards her uncle's manor.

Early the next morning.

Gu Qingfeng got up early and came to the viewing platform on the west side to take a breath, but saw his niece sitting there earlier than himself.

He walked towards his niece with a smile, and said, "Xiaoxue, why did you get up so early, why don't you sleep more?"

Gu Xueqing, who had been sitting here all night, turned her head and glanced at her uncle when she heard the voice, with an indifferent expression on her face. And when her uncle sat down beside her, she carried the head under her feet to the table, pointed her hideous face at her uncle, and asked, "Does uncle know this person?"

When Gu Qingfeng saw this sudden scene, he was unprepared, and he was instantly frightened by Gu Xueqing's move and rolled down from his seat.

Along with the entire wooden observation deck, there was a sudden tremble.

......

Xu Yan left Gujiaao overnight, and it was almost three minutes when he entered the backstream, he didn't stop, and continued to walk directly towards the back of the market.

A week later, he successfully entered the town of Wuyang.

The overall scale of Wuyang Town and Jingning Town is about the same, but Wuyang Town is slightly better in terms of prosperity, according to the current trend, Xu Yan can clearly feel that after he goes all the way north, its prosperity is also slowly growing.

Xu Yan didn't stay too long in Wuyang Town, just chose an inn to live for a night, he went to the major shops, bought some different clothes, and also replenished the edible materials, after going out of Wuyang Town, if there was no accident, he would not enter the city at will to swagger through the market, nor would he take the spacious and flat official road outside, after all, he didn't want to be intercepted and killed halfway.

So, in the inn in Wuyang Town, Xu Yan changed into his scholarly robe that he had been wearing for more than a month, and wanted to leave Wuyang Town when the sky was dark. However, just as he had left the city, and had not yet come to the fork where he could divide the way, on the official road about five miles outside the city, a man wearing a bamboo hat and a veil over his face rode his horse and stood quietly, and the other party seemed to have been waiting for him here for a long time.

Xu Yan had now turned into a ranger who walked the rivers and lakes, no longer showing himself as a scholar, so he didn't think that the other party would recognize him, but just as he didn't stop, and was about to walk past the man who was sitting motionless on the horse, a huge slashing saber slashed at his body.

If such a long knife falls, if it is slashed head-on, it can definitely split a person directly into two sections, and after the other party uses this knife, Xu Yan can clearly feel that the other party is obviously a martial artist who has reached the six-rank realm.

The number of martial artists in the world is definitely more than that of sword cultivation, but this is only manifested in the rivers and lakes, if you enter the famous and decent family, especially among the children of the family, the number of martial arts will be greatly reduced, after all, the martial artists in the world have always been despised by sword cultivators, thinking that they are just reckless men who can only use brute force, and they don't need much cultivation talent to become a martial artist.

Xu Yan naturally scoffed at this, you must know that after the martial arts cultivation is completed, it is not weaker than the sword cultivation in the slightest, and even if you want to achieve the Dacheng martial arts cultivation, the difficulty is better than the cultivation to the Dacheng sword cultivation, and it is even better.

Xu Yan naturally would not let the other party chop the saber on him, although he always maintained a look of disregard when he walked towards the other party, but in fact, at any time, Xu Yan's whole person was on high alert.

So, when the opponent's long knife was about to fall from the air, Xu Yan's whole person had already slid out sideways, directly pulling away the position that the opponent's long knife could reach.

The masked man on horseback saw that he had successfully avoided his knife, and he was not surprised at all, so he directly exerted his strength on the horse's back, and the whole person jumped high, and then held the handle of the slashing horse knife with both hands one after the other, and slashed towards Xu Yan in the air. And before the man's feet fell to the ground, the long knife in his hand was already the first to slash at Xu Yan on the opposite side.

Xu Yan saw that he was so aggressive as soon as he came up, and wanted to kill him, but there was no emotional fluctuation in his heart, so he stepped on it again and again, and opened up his body distance from him again.

The masked man was shocked when he saw that his two swords were easily avoided by the other party, he could feel that his cultivation was higher than that of this young man dressed as a ranger, but the reaction speed of the other party was beyond his ability, so the other party could easily avoid his moves.

The masked man didn't continue the pursuit, but sneered and said, "Sure enough, there are two hits, but just rely on speed to dodge, can you survive?"

After Xu Yan heard this, he ignored his ridicule, and just asked calmly: "Why, since Your Excellency is going to do this halfway interception, but you still have to cover your face, is this for fear of being recognized?"

The masked man said in a deep voice: "If you kill the elders of my sect, even if I don't mask you, I have enough reasons to kill you." ”

Hearing the other party's words, Xu Yan had roughly guessed that the other party was Du Feiyun, the sect leader of the Feiyun Sect.

"I didn't expect that a week has passed, and I was still waited for by him in the stupid way of waiting for the rabbit, but as long as he stays here, I can't get around. Xu Yan thought so in his heart, but said bluntly: "Du Feiyun, you are just accepting money from others and working for others, why do you need to use any reason such as killing you to send elders, don't you think that with this kind of excuse, even a three-year-old child can't be convinced?"

Hearing the other party say his name bluntly, Du Feiyun's eyes that were only exposed outside the veil couldn't help but flash a trace of horror, at this moment, he didn't know where he didn't know that the elder surnamed Shi who had been sent out to test the water before had already exposed his information.

"This son must die!" Du Feiyun immediately came up with an answer in his heart.

So, he stopped talking nonsense, and directly raised his knife again, trying to quickly close the distance between himself and the young man in front of him. However, just as he pulled his legs and rushed forward, Xu Yan, who was opposite him, also stomped his feet violently, rolled up more than ten catties of loess on the road, and waved his sleeves at him violently.

The loess in the sky was dense like rain, overwhelmingly rolling towards Du Feiyun.

Seeing this, Du Feiyun naturally immediately stopped rushing forward, and then used his sleeves to cover his eyes, however, when he blocked these sand and stones that had evolved from the crushing of loess, before he could make any follow-up movements, he saw a fist slammed into his chest.
