What's more, he was just careless just now.
The immortal sect has never taken ordinary warriors seriously, and he, Elder Qingzhuo, is no exception.
That's why he was injured by the sudden outburst of two weaklings.
Thinking of this, Elder Qingzhuo felt relieved immediately.
"Can a tiny pearl shine?" He shifted his gaze from Qiao Mu's body to the old soldiers including Captain Hai. He made a hand gesture and his Taoist robe moved again without wind. The clouds in the sky also changed color.
Just as he was about to use the magic spell in his hand, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and hurriedly his body turned into a rainbow and flew up.
But then he saw a bloody and blazing sword light cutting through the air and just brushing past his body, followed by a thunderous roar.
"Old thief, are you bullying me, the Qiao family, because there is no one there?"
"The great formation has been broken. There is no longer any barrier between Jiuzhou and this desert. Can you kill all of our Qiao family members?"
The one who spoke was an old man who was as old as Qiao Ruisen before. His face was full of wrinkles and his hair was white like frost, but his posture was as straight as a gun, and blood-colored aura was lingering around him. In his hand, he had actually picked up the stone sword that the exiled immortal had transformed into.

Streams of information emerged in his mind, and the biggest change was naturally the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, which jumped from the previous "proficient" to great success.
Qiao Mu did not have time to read the rest of the information. He just vaguely felt that the Ouroboros Immortality Lock in his mind once again made a clear breaking sound, and the second chain also broke.
However, the situation was urgent at the moment, and Qiao Mu did not have the time or energy to delve into it. He just concentrated on trying to communicate with the stone sword in his hand.
After a long time, an intermittent sound was heard coming from the stone sword.
"Can you see Kyushu outside... Hehe." Jian Zexian's voice was weak:
"Brother, take me to see the imperial capital thirty years from now..."
Jian Zexian seemed to have lost his mind, and he did not realize that Qiao Mu in front of him had changed his identity.
Although the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is a sword technique that requires one to exert all one's strength and has no return, it is not a suicidal sword technique. Otherwise, as the founder of this sword technique, Jianzhexian would have died many times already.
Trying one's best does not mean exhausting all one's vitality, but the Qiao family members are tough-minded, so Qiao Mu died, but the sword-exiled immortal who guided him to use the sword-cutting technique did not die.
Although he was not dead, his voice was clearly dying, as if he was leaving his last words.
"What will the imperial capital be like thirty years from now?" Qiao Mu held his breath and listened quietly.
He subconsciously thought that Jian Zexian wanted to leave some last words, such as the illegitimate son of the imperial capital
"Thirty years later, in the Baihua Tower in the imperial capital... I don't have the iron rod anymore, but at least I still have the seventy-two changes I learned back then, and don't I still have the hilt of the sword..."
arbor:
Since this man is still so mean, I think he is just short of energy like before and a little exhausted, and he is not going to leave any last words.
Come to think of it.
Qiao Mu felt relieved and stopped talking. He clenched the stone sword in his hand again.
Although Taoist Qingzhuo was surprised, he quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and calmed down.
"The Qiao family arrived quickly. They reappeared right after the formation was broken? But it's useless to have another one... Are they here to die?"
"So what if I want to die?" Qiao Mu said firmly:
"Wherever the heart desires, whatever the Tao leads to, that's all. Why should I fear death?"
Elder Qingzhuo just sneered.
The aura of the old man from the Qiao family in front of him was slightly stronger than that of the previous one, Qiao Ruosen, who had already died. However, he would not be taken seriously by Elder Qingzhuo just by relying on his martial arts skills.
Because he knew that the swordsmanship that Qiao Rusen had just used was the result of two martial arts masters trying their best, and it was a one-time thing, not a second-time thing...
As I thought of this, a familiar dazzling red sword light suddenly flashed again... .
"Heaven-cutting sword technique!"
Qiao Mu's blood was boiling. He was over two hundred years old and he used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique again. In an instant, nearly a thousand years of martial arts skills burst out. At this moment, his mighty internal energy surged like a river, and then bloomed into a dazzling sword light on the stone sword that shot straight into the sky.
Elder Qingzhuo's face changed drastically, and his figure instantly turned into a rainbow and flew up.
The dazzling sword light finally disappeared in mid-air.
Although the sword light looks more powerful and the internal strength is stronger, it is actually less powerful than the previous sword.
Although Qiao Mu came back to life and his skills increased dramatically over the past forty years, Jian Zexian had already declined.
"Did he run away?" Qiao Mu let out a long sigh, and the stone sword in his hand dropped limply onto the sand.
Once again, his whole body was bleeding, his breath was rapidly weakening, and his life force was fading, just like Qiao Ruosen just now.
But this time Qiao Mu was not injured, he only struck with one sword, so even though his vitality was waning, he still had a breath.
"After all, it's just a tiny pearl. Even though it shines for a moment, that's all..." After dodging the sword light just now, Elder Qingzhuo's expression looked a little better.
But in the end he stopped in mid-air, more than a hundred meters away from Qiao Mu, and did not approach the old warrior whose vitality was about to run out.
Elder Qingzhuo may underestimate the warriors again and again, but after all, three times the amount will not happen, so he has become cautious.
Even though Qiao Mu's breath was weak and he was obviously dying, he was still suspicious and didn't dare to get too close.
Taoist Qingzhuo just stretched out his hand and made a move. The stone sword that was inserted diagonally into the ground was sucked by an invisible force, turned into a stream of light, and fell into Taoist Qingzhuo's palm.
He glanced at the stone sword in his hand, examined it carefully, frowned immediately, and glanced at the motionless Qiao Mu.
"Is he really going to die soon?" Taoist Qingzhuo wondered in his heart.
Seizing the sword from a distance was a test of how much strength Qiao Mu had left.
At the same time, it was also to take away Jian Zexian.
Taoist Qingzhuo did not forget that the purpose of his trip was to find the exiled immortal sword.
After going around in circles, although the Exiled Sword Immortal has turned his body into a sword and it is not known whether he can be saved if he returns to the sect immediately, but in the end, the goal has been achieved in disguise.
"There is no need to fight to the death with this mortal. I am more than a year old. Why would I bother to compete with this mortal who is not even a fraction of my age? Let's heal our wounds first."
Taoist Qingzhuo's body turned into a rainbow and soared into the sky, eventually disappearing into the clouds.
He did not finish off the dying Qiumu.
He didn't know whether he looked down on him or had some suspicion in his heart, but he suspected that Qiao Mu was faking his death. Once he got close, a member of the Qiao family would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Captain Hai and others drew their swords and were on guard for a long time, but as warriors, even with bows and crossbows, they could not endanger Taoist Qingzhuo who turned into a beam of light and flew away.
He had to rush over quickly and try to treat the dying old man from the Qiao family.
But when they got closer, they found that the old man from the Qiao family, whose name was unknown, had his eyes still open, but he had died at some point.
"Why has it come to this..." Captain Hai sighed slightly.
Although they had seen several members of the Qiao family die, this was only their first meeting. The two sides had not yet met, and there was no expression on their faces. They didn't even know the name of the old man from the Qiao family...
"If I have the strength to spare, I will follow this elder to the battlefield." Qiao Xiaoming covered his head and said softly:
"Captain Hai, don't worry about it. Follow your heart and follow your way. That's all."
“Where the heart leads, the way leads… This is the truth that should be put into practice.”
The storyteller Qianliyan was repeating this family motto that had been read by generations of the Qiao family, but he was leisurely and fascinated.
Taoist Qingzhuo said that people spend their entire lives striving for fame and fortune, which is actually not wrong.
When ordinary people do something, they usually have to see whether it is beneficial and whether they can make money. If it is profitable, they will see how likely they are to succeed.
But some fools are not like that.
Where the heart goes, the way follows.
If you want to do something, don't ask whether it will succeed, whether it is profitable, or whether you will fail... As long as you believe in your heart that this thing is right, do it without hesitation.
"Wherever the heart desires, that is where the truth lies. One can put death aside and will not stop even if death comes... Is this the reason why several generations of the Qiao family died in battle? What a respectable and lamentable family..."
The storyteller with clairvoyance sighed.
He and the Qiao family are from outside.
He knew in his heart that the people in this isolated city had no choice, and all their fates led to ultimate death.
All efforts are bound to lead to destruction, the only difference is sooner or later.
But the generations of the Qiao family are different.
The Clairvoyance knows what is happening in Kyushu outside, and has a rough idea of what is going on with the Immortal-killing Army.
The Qiao family is different from the people in this isolated city. They have choices. With their strength, even if they cannot defeat the aliens, they can still live a prosperous life in this vast land of Kyushu.
Although they are no match for the immortals, this mysterious and powerful martial arts family can completely keep to themselves just like the exiled sword immortal did. Isn't that free and easy
This is also the reason why Captain Hai and others were repeatedly surprised by the deaths of members of the Qiao family: the Qiao family did not have to die, but they repeatedly led the charge and eventually died in battle.
When encountering things, don't ask about interests, don't ask about life and death, don't ask about conspiracies or plots, don't consider whether you will be punished by the powerful or killed by the immortals, put aside all concerns, put aside rules and regulations, and act according to your own heart.
Is this reckless
"This is a brave man." The storyteller Qianliyan sighed:
"When a man sees insult, he draws his sword and stands up to fight. This is recklessness, or at best, it can only be described as blood-and-blood courage."
"But Dayong is not like that."
“There are some brave men in the world who are not surprised when faced with danger, and do not get angry when attacked without reason. They hold great ambitions, and their aspirations are far-reaching.”
"To have a righteous heart, not to care about fame and fortune, and to put life and death aside, this is true courage."
Qianliyan's words made Qiao Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, blush.
He could be considered Qiao Mu's last regret before his death, not his own will. He was just relying on a small piece of flesh bud to survive temporarily, and now he was waiting for the next Qiao Mu to come back to life, so that he could use Qiao Mu's power to extend his life.
Qiao Mu actually knew very well that he was certainly not very brave.
There is great terror between life and death, so the highest evaluation of a warrior by the world is "being indifferent to life and death."
He was born immortal, but apart from the point that Clairvoyant said, "he does not care about life and death," everything else he said was correct.
He has already disregarded life and death, so he can do whatever he wants without any taboos.
"It's a rare pleasure..." He lifted up his own body and let the old man in the armory control it and bring it into the stone city.
This is not the time to relax.
The elders of the Immortal Sect have escaped, but that doesn’t mean we can be careless.
No one knows whether Elder Qingzhuo will come back. Even if he won’t come next time, no one knows who he is from the nine major sects.
Another elder? Another high-ranking member of the immortal sect, or even the sect's headmaster
"The Hundred Miles of Desert is gone. The secret that the Nine Immortal Sects have concealed for forty years can no longer be kept secret. The existence of the White-Headed Soldiers of Lonely City is about to be exposed." The storyteller looked at the white-headed soldiers in front of him with his clairvoyance, and many thoughts arose in his mind:
