Ye Jinxiu was only seventeen or eighteen years old, still a girl even by the standards of this world.
She was born into a rich family, had been pampered since she was a child, and was so beautiful, she was definitely a winner in life. But at the critical moment, she was ready to fight to the death.
To be honest, Gao Xuan was a little surprised.
Ye Jinxiu also reminded him to go ahead, which is an amazing detail.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ye Jinxiu still thought about others, which can be called kindhearted. If Ye Jinxiu was deliberately acting, it would be even more amazing.
Gao Xuan said to Ye Jinxiu: "No matter what grudges you have, these people are hateful. I will help you this time."
Ye Jinxiu said anxiously: "You are no match for him, but one more person died in vain. You'd better leave quickly."
"Gao Xuan, I beg you to do me a favor. Kill me first."
Aunt Xia said to Gao Xuan. She was seriously injured and could hardly move, let alone fight desperately.
If it was in Tongcheng, the noble families would still abide by the rules. But in this deserted cave, the noble families' methods were as vicious as they could be. Falling into the hands of this group of people, life is worse than death.
Gao Xuan waved his hand: "Not really. I will help if I ask for it."
Shi Jiudao and his companions had already arrived beside the Fire Cloud Snake, and a group of people were looking at the corpse of the Fire Cloud Snake and marveling at it.
The Fire Cloud Snake was not only huge, but its red scales were also very unusual. Even though it was dead, it still carried a strong evil aura. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary creature.
Shi Jiudao patted the corpse of the Fire Cloud Snake and laughed, "Miss, you have worked really hard. Not only did you offer treasures, but you also offered your bodies to us. Tsk tsk..."
Shi Jiudao was not really that hungry. He knew that Ye Jinxiu was proficient in Taoism and martial arts and should not be underestimated. Although she was lying there motionless, who knew what strange Taoist skills she had.
Therefore, she used words to provoke Ye Jinxiu right from the start. How could a proud and arrogant woman like Ye Jinxiu tolerate such an insult? If she had any means, she would definitely use them.
As for Gao Xuan, Shi Jiudao knew he was from the lower class as soon as he saw his age and the way he was dressed. He was not worth paying attention to.
Shi Jiudao was talking happily when Gao Xuan spoke up: "You are so shameless. I killed the snake, how could you take advantage of it? I am not familiar with your mother, so you can't recognize me even if you want to."
Gao Xuan spoke harshly, and Shi Jiudao was also an expert, so how could he tolerate such humiliation
"You're quite brave, boy. Do you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"
Shi Jiudao said sinisterly: "I won't kill you, but I'll chop off your limbs and let you watch us fuck your eldest daughter."
Gao Xuan laughed instead: "You want to play with me? Tsk tsk, you can't afford it."
Shi Jiudao was about to speak when Gao Xuan rushed over.
Gao Xuan's skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs were condensed into one, and he opened up 128 acupoints. Qi and blood circulated in the acupoints of his legs, and he seemed to be free from the control of gravity, and his speed was as fast as an arrow in an instant.
This state is different from using internal energy and source power. The power of qi and blood is circulated from within, stimulating the body to produce all kinds of incredible powers.
When the internal strength reaches the level of Xiantian Gangqi, it is just like the source of strength, both of which are borrowed from the external force. The circulation of the power of Qi and blood in the acupoints is like turning the body into a power furnace, using Qi and blood for fusion reaction.
Although it still relies on the strength of the body and qi and blood, this energy can be increased a hundred times through transformation through the acupoints.
This kind of power change is all completed in the body, without reacting to the outside world. In contrast, this kind of Qi and blood power does not rely on external objects, and its operation and changes are exquisite.
Although the laws of the world are different, Gao Xuan was quite moved. This way of using power is very subtle and interesting. It is worth learning from.
Including internal strength, magic, and the martial arts practiced by ordinary people, they are actually different levels of self-cognition.
What is the self? This is not only a philosophical question, but also a practical problem for Gao Xuan.
No matter what the meaning of the trial of the Nine-Turn Divine Cicada is, at least Gao Xuan got to know himself in these trial worlds.
At the moment when the Qi and blood were circulating in the acupoints, Gao Xuan suddenly thought of a lot of things. He even grasped the true meaning of the Nine Transformation Divine Cicada Trial.
All doubts and confusions were completely dispelled.
Gao Xuan's mind was clear and pure, without any doubts or obstacles. Regardless of whether his thoughts were right or wrong, he had a new understanding of himself. It was enough to make progress in the trial world.
Gao Xuan's sudden enlightenment allowed his mind and soul to completely merge into one with this body. He truly mastered this body at the deepest level and mastered all the power.
If Gao Xuan could only exert 100% of his body's strength just now, after enlightenment, Gao Xuan can exert 300% of his body's strength.
There are not many Xiantian martial artists in the whole Tongcheng. Shi Jiudao and his group have good martial arts skills, and they are only one level away from the Xiantian martial artist realm. But this one level difference makes a world of difference in strength.
Shi Jiudao was only at the martial arts master level, far behind Gao Xuan. Gao Xuan had an epiphany, his strength had not increased, but his realm had risen many times.
Looking at Shi Jiudao and others, they already knew everything clearly.
Shi Jiudao is not a big threat. The real threat is an old man next to Shi Jiudao, who is holding a red wooden stick in his hand and muttering something.
This guy started preparing spells as soon as he came in, and by the time Gao Xuan took action, his spells were already ready.
When Gao Xuan rushed over like an arrow from a bow, the old man pointed forward and shouted. Then black smoke flew out and turned into huge and ferocious ghosts howling and rushing towards Gao Xuan.
This old man is the top expert of the Shi family, and is best at the art of taking away the souls of hundreds of ghosts. The hundreds of ghosts made of human blood and wronged souls are not even afraid of sunlight.
When facing a martial arts master with strong blood and qi, he can also rush forward and tear the opponent's soul apart. Extremely domineering.
This spell was originally prepared for Ye Jinxiu, but Gao Xuan's flying speed was too fast, and he was obviously a powerful master. The old man saw that the situation was not good, so he threw the spell directly to Gao Xuan.
The Shi family came to plot against Ye Jinxiu, so they had to be well prepared. This time, the Shi family had three masters. Each of them was sure to defeat Ye Jinxiu. With more than 40 masters, everyone felt that they would win.
Although Gao Xuan displayed extremely strong martial arts skills, no one present was afraid.
When hundreds of ghosts roared out, everyone became even more energized.
The guy opposite is talking nonsense. Let's see how he dies.
A group of black ghosts rushed towards Gao Xuan. These ghosts were all wronged souls, transformed by the poisonous black gas. Not only could they devour people's souls, but the black poisonous smoke could also directly harm people's bodies.
Many ghost shadows surrounded Gao Xuan, each with a ferocious face, opening their huge mouths, and grabbing with huge claws like knives.
Gao Xuan's flying figure paused slightly, and he suddenly opened his mouth and roared wildly. This roar was like a tiger roaring in the mountains, with endless murderous intent in his domineering manner.
The fiery Qi and blood power also suddenly dispersed with the tiger's roar. The black smoke ghosts were blown away by the tiger's roar and shattered into wisps of smoke.
Some powerful wronged souls still wanted to struggle, but they were swept away in an instant by the scorching power of fire and blood.
The Shi family had been looking very proud, but now they couldn't laugh anymore. Many guys with poor cultivation were frightened by the tiger's roar and staggered back.
The old man who controlled the ghosts had a livid face, and his wrinkled flesh trembled constantly. He controlled the ghosts with his spirit, and the ghosts were scattered by the tiger's roar, and his spirit was severely damaged.
For a moment, the old man's mind seemed to be splitting.
Shi Jiudao realized that something was wrong, and he shouted, "Use the crossbow!"
A group of them carried strong bows and crossbows with them, ready to use them against experts.
A group of people were holding crossbows and preparing to shoot arrows when Gao Xuan shouted again, "You are a bunch of rats, why don't you die?"
Gao Xuan shouted and mobilized all his strength. What was even more terrifying was that the blazing energy and blood power burst out at the same time.
Every word uttered by Gao Xuan was like a bolt from the blue, striking everyone's mind directly.
This extremely masculine and fierce method goes straight to the mind and soul from the physical level, from the outside to the inside, and is extremely domineering.
Everyone in the Shi family was shaken so much that they couldn't stand steadily and fell to this and that. Many people had blood coming out of their ears, and even their eyes and noses began to bleed.
The dozen or so people standing in the front were the first to be hit, and their cultivation was not strong enough, so they simply fell to the ground without a sound.
Those experts who were holding crossbows were so distracted that they had no time to even shoot arrows.
Although Shi Jiudao was able to stand firmly, his face was filled with shock. Where did this expert come from? He was so domineering and fierce. They were defeated before they even started fighting
Shi Jiudao was still a little unwilling. He raised his long sword and was about to fight Gao Xuan, but Gao Xuan shouted again: "Come and die!"
This time, Gao Xuan's voice doubled in pitch with each word he uttered. By the last word, Shi Jiudao could no longer hear the sound.
The old man standing next to Shi Jiudao's eyeballs popped out and he fell to the ground dead on the spot.
This man had great magic skills and a strong soul. The more powerful he was, the greater the impact he received. Unable to withstand Gao Xuan's shout, the old man's soul was shattered on the spot, and his brain was shattered into pieces.
Dozens of people from the Shi family fell to the ground almost at the same time.
Gao Xuan's extremely violent energy and blood force impacted everyone from body to soul, crushing them all.
These people were unable to put up any decent resistance, and their souls and bodies were destroyed, killing them instantly.
Although Shi Jiudao was not dead, he was shocked to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices, his five internal organs were churning, and his blood and qi were flowing backwards. His head was even buzzing, as if it would explode at any time.
He used his knife to support himself and managed to stand, but he no longer had the strength to move.
Shi Jiudao could barely see Gao Xuan approaching him, but because his eyes were covered with blood, Gao Xuan's face was also stained with a blurry blood color. He couldn't even see Gao Xuan's expression clearly, and could only see Gao Xuan's bared white teeth.
Gao Xuan asked Shi Jiudao: "You were yelling, why don't you yell anymore?"
Shi Jiudao was horrified and asked unwillingly, "Who are you?"
“This is a bit complicated.”
As Gao Xuan spoke, he pointed a finger at Shi Jiudao's brow, and the powerful force of his finger shattered Shi Jiudao's brain into pieces.
Shi Jiudao, who didn't get an answer, fell to the ground with his brain broken.
Gao Xuan moved his feet and returned to Ye Jinxiu: "Isn't it scary?"
Gao Xuan's tiger roar was directed at the Shi family. Ye Jinxiu and Aunt Xia were not affected, but they were inevitably shocked by the huge sound waves.
This is nothing. What really shocked Ye Jinxiu and Aunt Xia was Gao Xuan’s powerful martial arts.
The Shi family had a group of good fighters, plus Shi Jiudao and the old man, this force was very strong. As a result, Gao Xuan didn't even make a move, but just shouted twice, and all the thieves were killed.
Such divine power is extremely terrifying.
Aunt Xia looked at Gao Xuan with awe. How could such a person appear in Tongcheng? How could he end up on the streets? It was unbelievable.
Ye Jinxiu also adjusted her mood. She smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Gao, I was really scared by you..."
