"My goodness, this is a species that swallowed the dead energy, and it can actually grow to the stage of transforming into a human?" Taoist Yushan, who had originally had a calm expression, changed his expression:
"I wonder how many lives this monster must have slaughtered to reach this point. It sounds like it's about to devour its master. A mortal warrior can't control it."
"You should join my Yunxiao Sect to wash away your evil nature." Taoist Yushan waved his hand, and the monsters in the mountains and forests ran out wildly.
Chapter 291: Always Smiling (4k
now.
Five or six Yunxiao Sect cultivators stood above the clouds, watching coldly.
In the forest below, hundreds of beasts were galloping towards the top of the West Mountain, raising a cloud of dust.
All the heroes changed color.
There were about a hundred local warriors attracted by the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" performance.
Although they all have good martial arts skills, they are either the young talents that Zhao Hu wants to recruit, or the local celebrities like Wu Qiankun who are trying to seize the secret manuals.
They are not considered weaklings in the martial arts world of Southwest Province. After all, weaklings would hardly even have the ambition to covet the secret manual of the Spear Master.
But these martial arts heroes are naturally weak in front of the Immortal Sect and the many spiritual beasts that the Immortal Sect is raising at this moment.
At this moment, they were at the top of West Mountain, surrounded by monsters on all sides. There was almost no possibility of escape. It was a life-and-death situation.
Qiao Mu was still calm, his eyes swept over the young Taoist above him.
"The disciple of Yunxiao Sect is named Yushan?" Qiao Mu put the Spear Saint Experience in his arms.
He had just read that the Spear Saint had been defeated miserably by Yushan more than thirty years ago.
It’s just that it happened a long time ago, and the Gun Master didn’t mention the details of the battle, so it’s hard to say what the difference in strength between the two sides was.
"Impermanence." Qiao Mu called the attractive cat over:
"Time is running out, hurry up and spit out the stone city."
Wuchang opened his mouth and a miniature stone city flew out of his mouth and landed on the ground.
Not long after, a flash of light appeared in the stone city, and Li Changshi walked out.
Neither Qiao Mu nor Wu Chang had the means to directly control this Sword Exiled Immortal Stone City.
But Wuchang, as a different kind of monster, seems to have another secret in her belly. This seems to be part of her innate magical power, similar to her ability to hide in the shadows.
Although it is impossible to hide people, it is more than enough to hide things.
"Everyone, these immortal cultivators and monsters are about to attack. Time is running out." Qiao Mu said loudly:
"I have a stone city made with immortal methods. It has a lot of secrets inside. You can hide in it temporarily."
"Once you have entered the stone city, I will try to break out."
"If you are lucky enough to escape, I will release you from the Stone City then."
Is there such a good thing
When the heroes heard this, they were overjoyed.
They were worried that they were in danger of death, but Qiao Jin actually jumped out to take the lead and pointed out a way out for them.
In this case, they naturally have no way to refuse-----
"Wait a minute!" A young voice suddenly sounded. It was Long Shankong.
"Senior Qiao." Long Shankong looked at Shi Cheng and Wu Chang and frowned.
"These methods of yours are not martial arts at all. They are immortal methods and the magic of the demon race, right?"
"What do you want to say?" Qiao Mu looked at Long Shankong.
"The people who want to kill us now are the immortal cultivators of Yunxiao Sect and the spirit beasts they raise." Long Shankong said:
"But Senior Qiao's methods are also immortal ways and sorcery..."
"Don't blame me, Senior Qiao. I am just a warrior and don't know much about the ways of the immortals... So if we enter the Stone City as Senior Qiao wants, will our lives and property be entirely in the hands of Senior Qiao?"
After these words were spoken, the heroes who had been eager to enter the Stone City suddenly calmed down.
The subtext of Long Shankong's words is actually that he doubts Qiao Mu's intentions.
If they really enter the Stone City, they will be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of Qiao Mu.
The Qiao family said they would lead them to break out and release them later...
It sounds good to say this, but who knows if he will really do it.
Maybe the Qiao family and the Yunxiao Sect are in the same group. After all, they both raise spiritual beasts and have immortal cultivators.
Even if they are not in the same group... Who dares to say whether Qiao Jin will give this stone city directly to the immortal cultivators of Yunxiao Sect next, allowing them to easily defeat this group of martial artists without bloodshed.
Even if Qiao Mu had good intentions, if they agreed to enter the city, their lives and property would be in Qiao Mu's hands.
So... should they trust in their own martial arts and try to gain a chance of survival amidst the hordes of monsters; or should they follow Qiao Mu's advice and enter the Stone City
The heroes hesitated for a moment.
Although the Qiao family is famous, they are mainly active in Nanzhou and Zhongzhou.
Although their reputations have spread to this southwestern state, whether they are truly righteous men depends on their deeds rather than their reputations.
"It's normal for you to have this concern." Qiao Mu was very calm.
These wanderers were not related to him in any way and were just casual acquaintances.
In the martial arts world, stabbing others in the back is the norm, and all these martial artists are on guard. After all, in today's Nine Provinces, being a knight-errant has long become a relic.
The Qiao family felt a little out of place when they came to this southwestern state.
"It doesn't matter. You guys go for it. I'll go first." Qiao Mu said lightly.
Under the pressure of the Immortal Sect, they are all in the same boat, so it is not a problem for them to help each other.
But he doesn't help everyone. After all, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
The young man, Long Shankong, was indeed a meticulous and decisive man. He secretly took action to uncover the truth about Xishan Village, and at the same time, he did not blindly believe in the famous Qiao family.
Since he has his own ideas, just let him do what he wants.
"The mountains remain unchanged, the rivers flow forever. If we can meet again in the future, we will be friends in need."
Long Shankong left these words and was the first to use his Qinggong skills to run quickly down the mountain.
"So decisive?" The heroes were also surprised:
"But there are wolves all around. Even though his Qinggong is very good, how good can it be? With this group of monsters surrounding him, there is no room for him to dodge or move, right?"
"He is not Wu Qiankun, who can fly without wings..." The heroes looked at him intently, staring closely at Long Shankong's back.
To fight head-on with the spiritual beasts raised by the immortal sect would be tantamount to seeking death... and they were also curious about what Long Shankong would do.
During this run, Long Shankong's mastery of lightness skills was revealed.
His legs were as fast as the wind and were no longer visible to the naked eye. Only a blurry shadow could be seen and he disappeared in a flash.
At this time, all the beasts in the forest had arrived. Several giant wolves, three or four meters tall and with silver-white hair, pounced on him from all directions.
In a flash, Long Shankong tapped his toes lightly, and his body rose up with the wind. He flew over the giant wolf that was pouncing on him like a light swallow, and even tapped the giant wolf's head with his toes, using the force to soar up nearly ten meters.
Surrounded by a group of monsters, he kept leaping, like a dragonfly skimming the water, constantly touching the heads of the spirit beasts that were flying towards him, and then he flew outward rapidly.
"This light skill is really amazing."
"No wonder he dared to raise objections to the Qiao family. It turns out that he is a man of great skill and courage..."
The crowd had just begun to cheer and marvel when they saw a huge fire in the sky.
It was a ball of blazing bone-eating fire that came from all directions in the sky, intending to surround Long Shankong.
At this time, Long Shankong was in mid-air. There were no trees or monsters around him to leverage on. He had no way to avoid or hide.
But he did not panic. At this moment he pushed hard with his toes again.
This kick hit the air, causing ripples in the empty air like water waves, and he used the force to shoot out to the side like a sharp arrow.
"The light skill of flying in the air... This is the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, the eight steps of the martial artist who leaps like a fish into a dragon and ascends to heaven!"
"The best Qinggong in the world, this person has such a support, no wonder..."
The heroes sighed and exclaimed.
This Long Shankong not only mastered the best lightness skill in the world, but also practiced the Eight Steps of Heavenly Dragon to the celestial level. Even Qiao Mu was quite surprised.
"This kid is really a gifted talent. Given time, he might be able to become a super-talented person..."
"He doesn't look like a member of the Wu Ji Society. Could he be related to Wayne or the Eight-Armed Sky Dragon? A descendant of the Eight-Armed Sky Dragon?"
Qiao Mu also sighed.
The Great Yan royal family, with Yan Taizu in charge, has not produced a super-item in three hundred years.
There are more than a thousand people in Xishan Village, where the descendants of the Spear Saint live, but there is only one first-class warrior, the clan leader Zhao Hu.
Super martial artists are hard to come by, and this guy in front of me... .
"It's a pity for his talent... This person probably has no experience fighting against immortal cultivators."
"His Qinggong attainments are considered top-notch in the Kyushu martial arts world."
"But if compared with immortal cultivators who can fly, even if I can do a double jump, I am still not as flexible as an immortal cultivator."
Qiao Mu looked up at the sky and saw lightning in the sky like a snake winding through the clouds, pointing directly at Long Shankong, and in a moment it was about to submerge Long Shankong's figure.
Even Wu Qiankun, who had mastered the Supreme Transformation, was shot down by the immortal cultivators, let alone Long Shankong
Qiao Mu also cherishes talent.
He took a deep breath.
The pores all over his body opened and closed with his breathing, and the blood that had just overflowed from the pores due to the disintegration of the demon was now almost invisible.
Demon Disintegration is not a necessary buff to start with. Although his fight with Wu Qiankun was brief, his body had already been damaged and was no longer in peak condition.
For ordinary people, it would take several years or even decades to slowly recover after a demon disintegrates, and it is not impossible for them to die suddenly on the spot.
For Qiao Mu, such an injury would take a full seven days to heal before he could recover.
It's like taking out a small loan, borrowing occasionally to use for internal strength, but if you borrow too much, your wallet will be empty and your muscles will be broken.
Of course, he has another choice: take out small loans crazily, borrow without paying back, and then cancel his account and start over again!
"The demon disintegrates!"
...
A hint of anxiety flashed across Longshan Kongxin's head in mid-air.
His Eight Steps of Heavenly Dragon have reached the second step of Ascension to Heaven, and he can step on the invisible air and fly in the air.
But he didn't expect that the cultivator from the Yunxiao Sect was so unsportsmanlike. The monsters on the ground could easily tear him to pieces, but the cultivator above his head had to intervene.
At this time, he had already taken the second step in the air, but he saw the flames around him surging and the lightning surging like snakes, and it was about to submerge his body in an instant.
Even people with great skills and courage can fail sometimes. Long Shankong already knew that he had no chance of survival.
And in this long moment.
He suddenly heard an explosion coming from the direction of the top of West Mountain.
It was a figure with blood-colored energy swirling around his body, like a blood-red meteor.
It was the same Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, but this time Qiao Mu leaped directly from the top of the mountain to a distance of dozens of meters, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Long Shankong.
When Long Shankong was astonished, he saw a bloody figure in the air punch out like lightning, and the sharp energy blasted away the surrounding electric light and fire.
He grabbed his arm with his other hand, turned around and threw him with all his strength, throwing him back to the top of West Mountain.
However, Qiumu's figure was falling downwards, landing among the pack of giant silver wolves with their bloody mouths opened wide.
This giant silver wolf is seven or eight meters long and three or four meters tall. Its bloody mouth is likely big enough to swallow an adult alive.
At this moment, Long Shankong, who was flying towards the top of the mountain, became a little out of focus as he watched Qiao Mu's figure fall into the giant wolf's mouth.
"Is there really such a chivalrous person in this world?"
"Is it true that I judge others by my own standards?"
