Inside Lieyin City.
In an ordinary house.
In the yard.
Ming Wu sat cross-legged in the courtyard, completely immersed in cultivation.
There were many special aura fluctuations on his body. In front of him, they continued to condense and form the shape of an unclear sword.
When he condensed this sword of Mohu, although he was only at the Qi Martial Realm, his body was emitting powerful fluctuations of the Blood Martial Realm.
Especially on this sword of Mohu, there is a hint of sharp and domineering aura.
This momentum is extremely similar to the momentum displayed by Xiao Shi that day.
It seems to be formed after his reference.
Ming Wu kept recalling the aura he had seen in Xiao Shi.
Constantly copying its charm.
Although he has now become Xiao Shi's subordinate.
But his life did not change at all.
When Xiao Shi didn't assign him any tasks, he still spent most of his time immersed in cultivation as usual.
This was also the reason why Xiao Shi accepted him as his subordinate.
When Xiao Shi first met Ming Wu, he realized that this person was different from ordinary people of the magic path.
Although Mingwu's body was also stained with blood, he did not have the bloodlust and cruelty of those evil people.
In his eyes, Xiao Shi saw admiration for the strong and a desire for strength.
I also saw...
A martial arts fanatic!
This made Xiao Shi know that even though he didn't know much about Ming Wu...
This is a pure martial arts fanatic.
His world does not have so many conspiracies and calculations, nor so much insidiousness and cunning, but only the desire for strength, and constant practice to become stronger!
And just when Mingwu was fully immersed in cultivation.
"Um?"
His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
whoosh!
whoosh!
Several figures rushed into the house from a distance and appeared in front of him.
The leader was a pale-skinned, somewhat sickly-looking young man.
Mingwu's eyes turned cold.
He recognized it at a glance.
This person is a member of the Guizhen clan among the three great noble families.
They now break directly into their own home with ill intentions.
"Get started!"
The young man in the lead didn't say anything extra.
At the command.
A tall and thin man next to him suddenly moved, causing a gust of air to explode, and arrived in front of Mingwu, and slammed him down with a palm.
Before they came, they had obviously investigated Mingwu's strength and cultivation, and knew that Mingwu was only at the Qiwu realm.
Therefore, the tall and thin man who took action now was directly at the Blood Martial Realm.
Prepare to crush it from the perspective of cultivation.
However…
puff!
The tall and thin man who had just rushed forward instantly rolled back and flew backwards, blood splattering.
One arm was thrown high into the air.
The young man who was the leader of the Guizhen Clan was extremely surprised.
I didn't expect that this person, who was only at the Qi Wu realm, actually possessed combat power comparable to that of the Xue Wu realm!
Fortunately, he was well prepared this time.
Bang!
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
boom!
A giant with a huge body, emitting a rotten stench, fell heavily from the sky and landed in the yard.
This is a tall and fat giant, with the flesh on his body and face constantly rotting, but he is constantly laughing strangely, and a lot of saliva is flowing from his mouth as he laughs strangely.
When the saliva touched his body, it was like sulfuric acid, corroding his flesh and blood with a hissing sound.
However, he seemed not to feel any pain, and his laughter became louder and louder.
Ming Wu looked at the giant in front of him with a serious expression.
The tall and thin man who was chopped down by him before only had one blood, but the giant now has two blood.
"superior!"
Following the order given by the young man of the Guizhen clan.
The giant let out a strange cry, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and he pounced towards Mingwu.
…
In the room.
Xiao Shi looked at the blood clot in his hand which had shrunk to the size of a fist.
My heart was filled with excitement.
With his hard work over the past few days, he finally managed to break the blood clot down to the last layer!
Just unlock the last layer.
He will be able to obtain the secrets contained in the blood clot.
This made him look forward to it.
besides.
Even more innate martial blood is obtained by breaking the blood clot.
These innate martial blood will serve as an important resource for the Red Tiger Sect.
Before that.
Although Xiao Shi was also collecting the innate martial blood of those in the Blood Martial Realm by killing them, the amount of innate martial blood he collected was limited after all.
It is impossible to reach such a terrifying number.
Especially in the demonic forces, the amount of innate martial blood that can be collected is even less.
If you are in the righteous forces, if you kill a three-blood martial realm master, you can directly gain three of your own martial bloods.
But in the demonic forces...
But he could only harvest one of his own martial blood.
Until now.
Xiao Shi was already certain.
A Blood Martial Realm warrior from the demonic forces will only have one innate martial blood.
They will not have a second innate martial blood.
Their advancement in the Blood Martial Realm mainly depends on the form of their innate martial blood.
Different forms will bring them different combat power.
This is also the reason why they call it the one-blood form and the two-blood form in the Blood Martial Realm.
These days, Xiao Shi is also doing things other than breaking up the blood clot.
I am also experiencing the enlightenment of the Wuzhaozhu.
The last time he saw from the Wuzhaozhu was a huge blood-stained axe falling with a loud bang.
This is how I came up with this trick.
However, what he saw this time was a flash of sword light.
The giant axe I saw last time was chopped down at a very fast speed, but it was not so clear that it could not be seen clearly.
This time, the flash of sword light was so fast that he could not see it clearly at all.
This caused Xiao Shi a lot of trouble.
I feel that the killing moves recorded in the enlightenment beads this time are more difficult to comprehend than the last time.
And since the Wuzhao Pearl will shatter after being viewed once, one can only recall the scenes seen inside the Wuzhao Pearl.
Fortunately, with Xiao Shi's current memory, the whole scene seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind.
At the same time, after these days of continuous enlightenment, he has realized that this lightning-fast sword contains profound sword skills.
The reason why I can't see clearly.
It's not just because the sword is too fast.
At the same time, it was also because his attainments in swordsmanship were not enough.
Even if I allow myself to see clearly, I won't be able to gain any insight from it.
"Speaking of which..."
"I'm really not that good at swordsmanship."
Xiao Shi shook his head.
Although he had come into contact with many sword techniques when he was in the Qiwu realm, he never practiced any other sword techniques afterwards.
His swordsmanship is still at the Qiwu level.
This was obviously not enough for him to comprehend the sword in the Wuzhaozhu.
This reminded Xiao Shi of the Gray Blood Sword Technique that had dropped before.
Although this sword technique is not the most powerful, the sword art concept it contains is rarely comparable to other sword techniques of the same level.
Perhaps by practicing this sword technique, I could make up for my shortcomings in swordsmanship.
Think of this.
Xiao Shi immediately began to practice the Grey Blood Sword Technique.
I have to say.
As a ground-level sword technique, this sword technique is indeed unique.
Xiao Shi only practiced for a moment.
I have already deeply felt the extraordinary nature of this sword technique.
It contains a very deep understanding of swordsmanship.
If he could fully understand it, he believed that he would be able to make rapid progress in swordsmanship and reach a higher level.
By then, it will be easy to comprehend the sword in the Wuzhaozhu.
However, just when Xiao Shi was fully devoted to practicing the Gray Blood Sword Technique.
A voice was heard from outside.
"Pang Qi, something happened to your subordinate..."
Xiao Shi immediately stopped practicing.
Came outside.
The person who came to inform him was Miao Fifteen, but now he should be called Miao Sixteen.
Except Miao Shiliu.
There was a blood-stained figure lying on the ground.
It’s Mingwu!
His whole body was covered in blood, his flesh and blood was a mess, most of his bones were broken, and there was a bloody hole in his chest, through which his internal organs could be vaguely seen.
Now he is completely unconscious and only has half a breath left.
At the same time, Xiao Shi also saw.
A strange formation had been set up inside Mingwu's body!
"Who did it?"
Xiao Shi asked in a deep voice.
Miao Shiliu shook his head.
"I don't know. Just now, he fled to the Zhiyan tribe and then passed out..."
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not a word.
After picking up Ming Wu from the ground, he went straight back to his room.
Miao Shiliu gave Xiao Shi a deep look.
After leaving.
Came to the residence of another Fire Wielder.
In this beautiful courtyard, a group of flame holders gathered here.
When they saw Miao Shiliu, they all looked over and asked.
"How about it?"
"I gave him the man, but I didn't see any anger on his face... I don't think he would stand up for this subordinate. Our plan... can it really work?"
Miao Shiliu said with a frown.
Although they all have subordinates in Lieyin City.
But no one cares about the life or death of these subordinates.
If there is not enough benefit, they will not stand up for their subordinates even if they are killed.
Miao Shiliu felt that Xiao Shi had not provoked those nobles before, and it was obvious that he was afraid of them. Now it was even more impossible for him to go to the Zuiguizhen clan just for a subordinate.
"Ordinary people would calculate the gains and losses before taking action, but with this person's style, he will definitely not be able to swallow this."
Hong Liu, who made this plan, looked confident of victory.
"You have seen it before. He would not let go of even those who had bad intentions towards him. Now that his subordinates have been injured like this, it is clearly a slap in his face. I don't believe he can tolerate it!"
"He is a born devil!"
"He has a very strong murderous nature. Even if he is afraid of the Guizhen Clan, he will still start a massacre for this. It is impossible for him to endure and do nothing!"
"As long as he attacks the Guizhen clan..."
"He naturally becomes the knife in our hands!"
It was originally in Hong Liu’s plan.
He planned to make friends with Xiao Shi first, and then, by using his intolerant nature, lead Xiao Shi to confront the Guizhen clan step by step, so that he could become the knife in his hand to attack the Guizhen clan.
But I didn’t expect…
Xiao Shi didn't associate with them at all.
He had no choice but to do it in another way.
Provoke confrontation between Xiao Shi and the Guizhen clan, and let Xiao Shi kill the people of the Guizhen clan.
In this way, the opponent is still the knife in his hand!
…
Xiao Shi looked at Ming Wu who was dying in front of him.
There was a cold light in his eyes.
"Sure enough, it was directed at me..."
"You want me to be your sword?"
The conversation between Hong Liu and others was heard clearly by him word for word through the blood mark left by Xiao Shi on Miao Shiliu's body.
Although Xiao Shi didn't see any problems with Miao Shiliu when he met him before, in order to eliminate his own doubts, Xiao Shi still chose to leave a blood mark on him.
If Miao Shiliu had nothing to do with this matter.
The bloodstain will naturally fade away gradually and will not bring any impact.
But I didn’t expect…
Through the blood marks on Miao Shiliu's body, Xiao Shi directly saw through everything!
In fact, when these Fire Bearers continued to show goodwill to him, he had already realized that they must have some ulterior motive.
After all, these people in the evil way are all people who cannot afford to do anything early.
If they didn't have some ulterior motive, they would definitely not come to please me.
However, Xiao Shi didn't expect that even if he ignored them, they would still find other ways to plot against him.
And according to his character here.
His subordinates were injured like this, so no matter who the opponent was, he would definitely kill him directly.
Once he did that.
Then he will become the sword of these Fire Bearers.
"It's a pity that I can't kill the Flame Wielder, otherwise... I could kill these people first!"
There was a cold light in Xiao Shi's eyes.
Although the Fire Master has very high authority in Lieyin City.
But it doesn't mean that we can do anything.
Among those who hold the flames, there is a strict order prohibiting fighting among themselves.
This meant that even though Xiao Shi knew that these Fire Wielders were plotting against him, he was unable to take action against them.
However, Xiao Shi thought about this matter carefully.
Discovering this doesn’t seem to be a completely bad thing for me…
Although he has not yet untied the blood clot, judging from the twelve items dropped last time, these items are obviously not enough to cause him to get Yin inflammation.
He also needs more items.
And considering the current situation of Lieyin City.
If they continue to kill, they can only kill those in the Blood Martial Realm who are related to the three great nobles.
The last massacre had caused those Blood Martial Realm warriors who had no background to rely on to either flee or join...
There is no such blood martial realm to kill now.
And once they kill those Blood Martial Realm people who are related to the three major noble families, they will inevitably offend these nobles.
He needs a reason!
Now that Ming Wu has been severely injured by the members of the Guizhen Clan, this just gives him a perfect reason to kill the members of the Guizhen Clan!
It was as if these Fire Masters had helped him create a suitable excuse.
Although people of the evil path are generally bloodthirsty.
But killing also requires a reason.
Especially when taking action against these nobles, the reason is even more important.
If it is killing without reason.
I'm afraid that the powerful martial soul realm masters among these nobles will come forward and slap him to death at the first moment.
This is also the reason why Xiao Shi did not rashly touch these nobles before.
But now…
He already had his reasons.
As long as you don't overdo it.
Even the powerful martial soul realm masters among the Guizhen clan find it difficult to show up.
It seemed that these fire masters were plotting against him, but in fact, to some extent, they helped him instead.
However, Xiao Shi had to think about the ultimate goal of these Fire Masters.
"Why do they want me to kill the Guizhen clan? What good will it do them if I kill the Guizhen clan?"
This is Xiao Shi’s current doubt.
As long as we figure out the purpose of these Fire Holders and prevent them from succeeding, then not only will these Fire Holders not be able to gain any benefit from us, but they will actually be doing us a great favor.
Through the bloodstains on Miao Shiliu's body, they would know the reason as long as they talked about it.
And the priority right now.
The first thing is to save Mingwu’s life.
Although if Mingwu died, he would have a greater say in this matter.
But after becoming his subordinate, Mingwu has been doing his best to help him and can be regarded as a capable assistant.
Moreover, this person is not a bloodthirsty and brutal demon, he is just a simple martial arts fanatic.
Xiao Shi would not just stand by and watch someone die.
However, when Xiao Shi gave him the healing pill.
But he found that Mingwu's injuries did not improve immediately.
This made him frown and feel something was wrong.
You know.
What he gave Mingwu to eat was a healing pill that was extremely effective among the Qiwu level.
Under normal circumstances, Mingwu's injuries should improve immediately.
But now Mingwu's recovery from his injuries is extremely slow.
Take a look.
Xiao Shi found the reason.
This was obviously because of the strange formation set up inside Mingwu's body.
This formation actually absorbed 95% of the therapeutic effect, so that Mingwu obtained less than 10% of the therapeutic effect.
"Did he expect that I would treat him, and he wanted to take advantage of me?"
There was a cold light in Xiao Shi's eyes.
As expected, the demonic person...
There aren't many good birds.
Although he is not very accomplished in formation.
But now that he has obtained the Eye of Phantom Dust, it is not difficult for him to break this formation.
Xiao Shi thought about it.
He did not try to break this formation.
He was worried that when he went to settle accounts with the Guizhen clan, they would deny their ownership.
Just right.
The formation within Mingwu's body is the most powerful proof.
Before that.
Naturally, we cannot destroy this evidence.
"Now we just need to stabilize Mingwu's injuries and prevent him from dying."
Xiao Shi thought to himself.
However, just as he was about to take out more pills.
Suddenly.
He found that Mingwu's injuries had stabilized.
Under normal circumstances, if his injuries were not treated, they would have rapidly worsened and led to his death.
But now his injury has stabilized.
And all this was not caused by the healing pill that Xiao Shi gave him.
Instead, a strange substance was secreted from Mingwu's body.
This is a substance that Xiao Shi has never come into contact with.
And this substance directly stabilized his injuries.
Although it did not bring treatment, nor did it make his injuries better, Xiao Shi could feel that this substance could ensure that Ming Wu... would not die!
"It seems that this kid also has a secret."
Xiao Shi seemed to be thinking about something.
…
Although the area where Lieyin City is located is dark all year round, it is still possible to distinguish between day and night.
By this time the sky was completely dark.
A waning moon hung in the sky, giving the entire earth some light and preventing it from being completely dark.
Hong Liu and others were all paying attention to Xiao Shi.
Waiting for the scene where Xiao Shi suddenly rushes out from the Zhiyan tribe and kills.
But until now...
There was no movement from Xiao Shi's side.
This made Hong Liu, who was confident of victory, frown.
"What's going on? Is he really going to put up with this?"
Miao Shiliu sighed at this.
"Sure enough... He would not provoke the Guizhen Clan just for a subordinate. Although he has a strong murderous nature, he also knows who to provoke and who not to provoke."
The others also sighed.
"Hehe, Hong Liu, you miscalculated."
A clear voice like the chirping of a bird suddenly sounded at this moment.
Everyone looked up.
I saw a petite white-haired girl lying on the roof with her hands behind her head, looking at the moon in the sky.
On her back she carried a giant sickle that was larger than she was.
Under the moonlight, it glows with a cold luster.
"Bai Si!"
Hong Liu's eyes darkened.
Not all the Firebreakers participated in this plan this time.
Only a portion of the Flame Bearers participated.
The white-haired girl never participated.
But from her words now, it seemed that she knew about their plan long ago.
"I reached an agreement with Yu Shuang of the Guizhen clan to help him kill his rival for the next clan leader and gain benefits..."
"You even dare to plot against the peerless genius of the Guizhen clan, Hong Liu, you are quite courageous."
Bai Si laughed crisply.
Her words made Hong Liu's face even gloomier.
"Do you want to get involved too?"
He asked in a deep voice.
"Not interested."
Bai Si curled his lips.
"You just want to get a more powerful array blessing from Yu Shuang, so that you can have more array authority in Lie Yin City..."
"But it doesn't mean anything to me, but I like watching the show."
While speaking.
She sat up straight, her pair of scarlet eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, looking at Hong Liu with interest.
"I really want to know how you are going to remedy this plan. Tell me quickly."
Hong Liu looked at the white-haired girl.
I was angry, but there was nothing I could do.
Not to mention the opponent's ranking, which is far above him.
Even if the opponent's ranking is not as good as his, he dare not provoke this Bai Si.
Everyone knows.
This Bai Si’s grandfather is the city lord’s steward, Lord Mo.
at the same time.
Their conversation.
All of it had also been clearly transmitted into Xiao Shi's mind through the blood marks on Miao Shiliu's body.
"I see… "
Xiao Shi immediately understood the ultimate goal of Hong Liu and his gang of flame holders.
"Then, I just need to kill Yu Shuang from the Guizhen Clan who is cooperating with them, and these Fire Masters will naturally get nothing!"
"Next... I can go on a killing spree!"
There was murderous intent in Xiao Shi's eyes.
"I hope that this time, a key item that will help me get Yinyan will drop."
Think of this.
Xiao Shi looked at Ming Wu who was standing beside him, and walked out with him in a very high-profile manner.
Xiao Shi’s actions.
This immediately made Hong Liu and others who were paying attention to him excited.
"Look, he's making his move!
”
Bai Si, who was on the roof, also had his eyes light up.
"Now we're going to have some fun!"
