Outside Yunxiao City, there are hundreds of thousands of miles of barren mountains.
At this moment, a red glow shines from the top of the mountain, and the rising sun brings vitality to the endless darkness. Some monsters and ghosts who were afraid of the sun growled and hid in the dark and humid forests and caves.
Wang Yue squinted his eyes and saw the enchanting glow through the gaps between the branches and leaves, which brought him infinite hope. A happy smile appeared on his tired and thin cheeks.
The smile moved the wound at the corner of his mouth, and the pain made him frown.
For two pieces of jade essence, he was chased thousands of miles by three friars in the third layer of three gas refining periods. Although he walked around Yunxiao City, he was at a loss when he entered the barren mountain. He could not tell the direction. It was a great fortune to survive the peep of monsters and ghosts.
Wang Yue didn't feel lucky, but he felt helpless. He had to survive and return to Yunxiao City, because there were people he wanted to see.
Wang Yue is 15 years old. He is a concubine of the Wang family in Yunxiao City, Huaxian Country. He is handsome and slightly thin. Only in the world of monster, comeliness is definitely not an advantage, and powerful strong men are the objects pursued by women. If it hadn't been for an accident, according to the customs of Huaxian State, Wang Yue would have married... He touched the two jade essences in his arms and smiled more bitterly.
Jade essence is the name of the secular world, and it is usually called Lingshi in the practice world. The spirit stone is divided into lower, middle and upper levels. It can also be used as currency in circulation in the world of practice. In addition, there is a kind of top quality spirit stone, which is very rare and priceless. It is said that it has a special purpose and is the favorite of some high-ranking friars.
Wang Yue's talent is very poor. After several years of cultivating the basic skills handed down by his family, he is still an entrant to the first level of gas refining. He knows the low level spirit stone, but he doesn't know the grade of the two spirit stones in his hand. He only feels its luster is bright, and its aura is compelling, just like a baby's fist. Only by its appearance, he knows it is not an ordinary thing. These two spiritual stones are related to his marriage and happiness, so he has gone through countless dangers and hardships and is unwilling to give up.
In addition to the normal betrothal gifts, the fiancee has the right to make three demands on the groom, which is regarded as a way to test the groom's ability. These three conditions can be difficult or easy, depending on how high the bride's heart is. Some brides love the bridegroom and only ask him to find three common fruits. Some brides ask to pick stars and steal the moon. When they meet such brides, the marriage is basically over. This is also a kind of refusal of the bride. The object of Wang Yue's engagement is not high or low, which is a common requirement for the children of the Yunxiao City Aristocratic Family. However, Wang Yue, a commoner, is deliberately embarrassed.
"Ji Su, no matter what, I will marry you home. The more useless I am, the more I can complete the triple test!" Thinking of this, Wang Yue got up and sat on the fork of a tree, took out a wild fruit from his pocket, and bit it hard.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a weak movement under the tree, as if something had broken a dead branch.
"Who? Come out!" Wang Yue shouted vaguely, and at the same time, he put the wild fruit in his hand and the stone into his mouth, ate more food, and had a better chance to live.
"Hey hey, I didn't expect you to be so alert, but you found it again!" From behind the big tree, a young man came out. He was about twenty-eight years old. He was powerful, handsome, and had messy stubble on his lips.
"I found you every time I approached you. Aren't you more useless? You three masters of the third level of gas refining bullied me and killed two of my first level of gas refining. Aren't you even more useless?" Wang Yue grinned and was chased by the man in front of him for dozens of days. He seemed to have no resentment and still smiled heartlessly. "You have no ability to kill me anyway. How about making peace? Hey hey, Zhang Chengzong, Zhang Dashao, what do you think? The worst thing is to go back to Yunxiao City. I'll buy you some wine! I will help you to pay homage to the dead! "
Zhang Chengzong seemed to be used to Wang Yue's rogue behavior. He kept his anger and said coldly, "Do you think it is possible? If you knew what to do in the jade mine outside Yunxiao City, and gave up the spirit stone, I would pity you, a waste, and save your life. But you cheated and escaped into the Great Wilderness Mountain. In order to chase you, two worshippers who have followed me for many years were eaten by the demon beast. This revenge must be avenged. You obediently hand over the spirit stone, and I will give you a treat! "
"Just now, I was teasing you, but you didn't recognize it? Alas, I blushed for you when you called me a loser!" Wang Yue said with a smile, standing on the branch and quietly moving his legs, "You can't be too shameless. You chased me to rob my Holy Stone, killed my underlings, and blamed me in turn? Be careful!"
Boom!
"Waste, I'm dying, and I dare to be tough..." Before Zhang Chengzong finished speaking, he heard a burst of thunder in the distance. It was like a snake dancing wildly, rolling in the dark clouds. The sun that just appeared disappeared at some time, and the sky fell into darkness again. Some demon beasts hiding in their nests were eager to come out and look for food.
Hearing the thunder, Zhang Chengzong was shocked and his face suddenly changed. The most taboo for those who practice the truth is curse like "strike the thunder in the sky", and they are more afraid of similar vows. These days, he is scared by Wang Yue! Let him become the most miserable pursuer.
"Ha ha, I've done too much for my conscience, so I know I'm afraid!" Wang Yue said. He bent over and bent over, his legs worked hard, like an ape. With the spring of the branches, he jumped out more than 20 zhang and landed on the remote tree. Then he used his strength to jump out more than 20 zhang. Wang Yue refused to suffer, but he knew in his heart that he could not defeat Zhang Chengzong. If he fought hard, he would only lose both sides and would not be able to go back to Yunxiao City to see his fiancee. So when Zhang Chengzong was stunned, he was ready to leave.
He jumped dozens of times at the top of the tree, thinking it was time to escape Zhang Chengzong's pursuit. When he looked back, he saw Zhang Chengzong standing under the tree with a sneer, but he did not move. I jumped for a long time just now, just circling around.
"Having suffered from you several times, how can I make the same mistake again? I have set up a enchanting array around. This time, you can't escape!" Zhang Chengzong patted the storage bag and took out a long sword. The body of the sword was as bright as snow and as thin as the wings of a cicada. It danced in the wind, making a clanking sound.
The sword is a good sword. It is only a sword in the world, but not a flying sword in the Xiuzhen world.
Wang Yue's face was very ugly. He slept too deeply yesterday and was trapped in the enchantment array by the other party. His face was unusually solemn and serious.
Wang Yue had neither a storage bag nor a long sword. He bent over and broke a straight branch of a pen to make a long spear.
If you want my spirit stone and my life, you can exchange it for it!
Lightning and thunder, torrential rain!
Wang Yueyi held the staff in his hand, and with the other hand in his arms, he grasped a spirit stone, quietly absorbed the spirit, and recovered his strength.
However, with the first level of strength in the gas refining period, the speed of absorbing spirit stones is as slow as a snail. Zhang Chengzong has given Wang Yue no chance to recover his strength.
The sword flew into the sky, leaped six or seven zhang straight on the flat ground, and the tiptoe was a little on the tree trunk. With the help of the force, it jumped up three or four zhang again. Now it was close to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue screamed, raised his staff and jumped down. When Zhang Chengzong had finished using his old power and had not yet used his new power, he hit his head with a staff.
A "woo" hit Zhang Chengzong's head in an instant. Zhang Chengzong was still three inches away from his scalp, but with a long smile, he twisted his body and flew like a top, half a meter away from the sky, while cutting Wang Yue's throat with a sword.
This is the gap between the first and third gas refining layers.
Wang Yue tried to lean back and hold the staff in front of him. This is almost a scary action after years of practicing martial arts. Unfortunately, he forgot that what he was holding was only a branch, not a metal weapon.
With a snap, the sword passed the stick and broke. At the same time, a splash of blood splashed and a long cut was made on the chest by the sword.
The two people crossed, up and down. Zhang Chengzong sneered, turned around in the air, and instantly turned his head and feet to chase Wang Yue who was falling.
The more anxious Wang was, the more calm he became. The rainstorm hurt his eyes, but he still looked up stubbornly. The gap was too big, and he could not escape. Wang Yue knew that if he wanted to live, he had to kill Zhang Chengzong.
"What about the third layer of gas refining? I don't believe it..." Thinking of this, Wang Yue reached out and grabbed a branch through the heavy rain, and flashed into the thick branches and leaves with a whoosh.
Click, click, click!
There was another flash of lightning and thunder, and the light became darker after it was bright.
Zhang Chengzong saw a flower in front of him, but Wang Yue disappeared unexpectedly, leaving a faint aura fluctuation in the air.
Although it is a level of gas refining, it can also use simple spells.
"Hum! Tiny skills! How dare you make a fool of yourself?" Zhang Chengzong said that, but he was very angry. Wang Yue lived today because of these little skills. Although he did not set up the enchanting array early, he had no confidence to find Wang Yue.
Zhang Chengzong waved his long sword, and dozens of swords were cut out. Suddenly, he cut the place where Wang Yue disappeared, and the branches and leaves fell off. In the midst of the flying wood chips, a sharp wood branch pricked out and plunged into Zhang Chengzong's thigh with a puff.
Zhang Chengzong was not angry but pleased. He cut the big tree in front of him with a sword in his backhand. One of the trees fell to the ground with a bang, while the other half still stood strong.
"Hmm? No blood?" Zhang Chengzong's face was more grim, not without blood, but without Wang Yue's blood. The blood on his own leg was still trickling out.
Zhang Chengzong landed, patted the storage bag, took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from it, poured out some white powder, and sprinkled it on the wound on his leg. When the blood met the powder, it immediately solidified, and the wound healed and scabbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, a stone spike came out from the foot of Zhang Chengzong. He screamed, and his face was horrified. A sword cut off the growing stone spike. He was in the air and cut more than ten swords on the ground.
Boom, boom, boom! Flying sand and rolling stones, mixed with mud and broken leaves, turned over the ground under your feet and suddenly became riddled with holes. Wang Yue's figure loomed out of the sand and stone, retreated for tens of steps, leaned against a giant tree, coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and his emaciated face became even paler. The strength difference is too big. His energy channels were hurt by the sword qi. He can't use any magic anymore.
Zhang Chengzong stood on the ground on one leg with a ferocious face. He pointed his sword at Wang Yue and said coldly, "I looked down upon you before! You are such a waste, you have forced me into such a mess. I will cut you into pieces later, so as to clear my hatred."
"Haha, you can blush if you call me a waste! My king has no talent for cultivation. He began to cultivate at the age of five. Till he was fifteen, he was still a waste of gas refining. But as a direct descendant of the Zhang family, you Zhang Chengzong used countless spiritual medicines and stones. Now he is thirty years old, he is only three layers of gas refining. People of the same age have already been five or six layers of gas refining. Don't laugh at me! right back at you! Cough... poof... "Wang Yue didn't breathe, and he spat out a mouthful of blood again.
Zhang Chengzong was so angry that his face turned blue and red, which was very wonderful. He pointed at Wang Yue with his sword: "Little brute, death is imminent, and he dared to be hard mouthed. I don't want to cut you alive." He shouted, and in the light of lightning, his face became more ferocious, and he approached Wang Yue step by step.
"Don't come here, don't come here, you come here again, I called someone......" Wang Yue seemed afraid, opened his throat and shouted loudly, which was very different from the wind, light cloud and light cloud just now.
Zhang Chengzong felt a little strange. He was stunned. It was the first time to see him plead for mercy for dozens of days after he chased the king, and he cried so sadly. Zhang Chengzong felt very relieved. He said that this naughty waste had a day of fear. The more he pleaded for mercy, the more he wanted to torture him.
"You shout, no one will save you even if you break your throat!"
"Break your throat... break your throat... help!" Wang Yue took out two spirit stones, raised them above his head, and shouted loudly. Because of the serious injury, the voice was distorted, and it felt sad and sharp, it seemed that he really broke his throat.
"Waste is waste. Shouting for help is so ugly... Poof..." Zhang Chengzong just said this, when he suddenly shook his body, spewed out a mouthful of blood, and a big red hand fell from the sky, smashing the surrounding enchanted array with one hand. The misty fog brought by the big array immediately dissipated, because there was a trace of Zhang Chengzong's mind in the enchanted array, and the array was broken, Nature shook his mind.
Wang Yuemei opened her eyes and waved to the sky, but Zhang Chengzong turned back in horror and saw an old Taoist standing in the sky with red hair and beard, wearing a tattered Taoist robe and dozens of patches. The old Taoist squinted his eyes as if he hadn't woken up. He pointed down the forest and belched again, then said slowly, "Oh... that little baby... is it the best spirit stone?"
