Facing the thunder whip thrown by Xiao Xinglong, Xiao Yun did not dodge or dodge, his stunned appearance made Xiao Xinglong laugh endlessly. He originally thought that his own lightning could severely injure the opponent, but unexpectedly, the thunder light hit Xiao Yun's body but only left a scorched black mark, there was nothing superfluous.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yun approached Xiao Xinglong again, raising his long sword with a cold light.
Obviously there was a chance to hit Xiao Xinglong with a sword, but Xiao Yun stayed ahead of the line, only forcing him into a panic, and stumbled and "reluctantly" dodged the sword again.
Making a fool of himself again, Xiao Xinglong only felt his head buzzing, and his eyes became dizzy for a while. He was not strong-willed, and once he fell into a disadvantage, his mentality would easily collapse, not to mention that Xiao Yun's mental power had already enveloped him without a trace, subtly oppressing his nerves, and constantly increasing his mental strength. of fear and stress.
The thunder light kept flashing on the ring, but no matter how powerful the thunder net looked, it couldn't resist Xiao Yun's indomitable move forward.
Xiao Xinglong's spirit was on the verge of collapse, he just dodged and ran instinctively, while Xiao Yun pressed on step by step, even showing a leisurely and elegant stroll in his steps - like a big cat teasing a mouse.
Such a farce-like scene left everyone in the audience stunned. Although they had long felt that "Xiao Yun" was not as good as before these few years, they never thought that he was so miserable that he was chased by a mortal into a mess, and he was powerless to fight back.
And... that "Guan Wu" is really just a mortal? !
"That kid from the Yang family named Guan Wu, didn't he bring some magic weapon to conceal his spiritual power, and pretended to be a mortal?" A cultivator was surprised in a low voice, "No matter how unbearable Xiao Yun's lightning is, he is definitely not a mortal. A mortal body can bear it, but Guan Wu has suffered so many blows without dodging or avoiding, but he doesn't look injured at all, it's totally unreasonable!"
"Guan Wu... Guan Wu..." the cultivator next to him muttered to himself, always feeling that the name sounded familiar. Suddenly he clasped his palms together, and suddenly realized, "No wonder I always thought this name was familiar! It turned out to be him! That mortal who is said to be able to fight against the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
Although Xiao Yun became famous under the title of "Guan Wu", it was only two or three years ago. For cultivators with a long lifespan, two or three years of retreat is very common, while cultivators who can go down the mountain to practice and have heard of Guan Wu, a mortal who does not take an unusual path, are just a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, even if they had heard about it, as long as they didn't see it with their own eyes, few cultivators would take this rumor to heart. The pride of being cultivators made them not believe that a mortal could achieve such a level. They would only regard this matter as a sensational and exaggerated joke, and then put it behind them after laughing.
However, when looking at the scene on the stage and recalling this rumor again, all the cultivators had to face it squarely and admit the truth of it.
In this way, the deeds of "Guan Wu" spread among the children and elders of the aristocratic families who participated in the competition in an instant. Have you reached the pinnacle of mortal body training
If this "Guan Wu" is really able to fight against the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage without defeat, then it is reasonable and reasonable for "Xiao Yun" to be so embarrassed under his hands. The cultivators no longer looked at "Xiao Yun" with contempt and sarcasm, but a hint of sympathy and pity. It's a pity that although everyone in the audience gradually changed their attitudes, Xiao Xinglong on the stage didn't know it at all.
Xiao Xinglong has been cultivating in closed doors at home for ten years, and he has never had the opportunity to go out to experience and learn about current affairs and rumors. Moreover, his eyes are high above the top. Although he is a star in the Xiao family, he does not know how to make friends, and no Xiao family child is willing to chat with him. The gossip.
So, Xiao Xinglong didn't know that a "Guan Wu" had been born in the past few years, and he still thought that the other party was just a little-known mortal, and he—— was defeated by a mortal's sword.
The sound of buzzing flies and flies under the stage, in Xiao Xinglong's ears, was like mocking him, and in his mind, the stern advice of the elders of the clan before participating in the big competition was constantly echoing.
The foundation-building disciples of the Xiao family who were in charge of guarding the ring this time were not very outstanding, and it was helpless to be taken away from the ring. Therefore, Xiao Xinglong must not lose this qi training stage ring guarded by Xiao Xinglong. If the Xiao family does not have a ring after the big competition, it would be a shame - the Xiao family absolutely cannot afford to lose, and Xiao Xinglong absolutely cannot afford to lose either.
Although he took away his elder brother's Thunder Heaven Spiritual Root and completely replaced his elder brother's position, Xiao Xinglong's life in the Xiao family was not very smooth.
Even Xiao Yun, who has been admired by the head of the Xiao family and elders for more than ten years, who wants the stars but not the moon, they can abandon without hesitation, and they have no affection for Xiao Xinglong, a child who has colluded with Moxiu ? The Xiao family tolerated Xiao Xinglong only because of the lightning root in his body, because they were worried that his relationship with the demon cultivator would bring disaster to the family again, the Xiao family guarded Xiao Xinglong very closely, and with Xiao Xinglong's sensitive mind, he naturally noticed this Be vigilant and beware.
However, Xiao Xinglong endured it and tried his best to perform better than his elder brother. He believes that as long as things go on like this and the family becomes more and more dependent on him, his position in the Xiao family can also be improved and promoted.
Therefore, this time in the arena, he must not lose it, even if he wants to lose it, he must not lose face in the hands of a mortal!
His mind was in chaos, after trying many methods but did not bring any difficulty to Xiao Yun, Xiao Xinglong was desperate, he broke down and screamed in his mind, calling for the existence that had been helping him achieve his wish.
The lonely and silent black energy lurking in Xiao Xinglong's body surged a few times, and finally answered his call—or rather, this black energy has been waiting for this call.
That black air is an old demon in the infant stage of the devil. More than ten years ago, he had a conflict with another powerful demon cultivator, and his body was blown into powder by the opponent, leaving only the soul to barely escape.
The old devil searched for a suitable body to seize the body all the way, and after searching, he found Xiao Yun, the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Thunder Element.
The thunder-type heavenly spiritual root is the most outstanding spiritual root for Taoist cultivators, and it is the same for demonic cultivators. Although the Thunder Spirit Root is upright and happens to be the nemesis of demons, as long as it is refined, it can bring endless benefits.
The cultivation base of the demonic cultivator has improved extremely quickly, and he does not have a bottleneck like the Taoist cultivator, who needs to overcome the demons in his heart. For Moxiu, the first major enemy on the road to comprehension is the contemporary cultivators, and the second is the thunder disaster that will inevitably appear every time he advances.
If cultivators are not talented enough and unstable, most of them will be stuck at the bottleneck until they run out of lifespan, while demon cultivators who have no bottleneck will fall under the tribulation thunder in all likelihood.
Most demon cultivators have serious evil karma, and the advanced tribulation thunder is more terrifying than the Taoist cultivator, and after crossing the tribulation, they will not receive the rain rewarded by the heavenly dao. Every time he crosses the thunder catastrophe, the demon cultivator has a narrow escape, even if he survives desperately, he will be severely injured and embarrassed.
— But if you have Lightning Root, it will be different.
As long as the Thunder Spirit Root is refined, the difficulty of the devil cultivator's Thunder Tribulation will change from hell-level difficulty to normal difficulty or even easy difficulty, which means that the next path of cultivating the devil will be smooth without any obstacles.
Lei Linggen is rare in a thousand years, and his physical body is destroyed, leaving only his primordial spirit. It is simply unacceptable for him not to take away the other party. So the first time he met the original body, the old devil made a decision.
However, although the idea is good, it is really troublesome to implement. Although the original body's cultivation base is low, but his willpower is strong, and he has pure thunder-type spiritual power to protect the body. If the old devil who is seriously injured at this moment directly seizes the body, it will easily fail.
Therefore, the old devil chose a roundabout strategy and found Yuanshen's younger brother Xiao Xinglong.
The first time he saw Xiao Xinglong, the old devil knew that he was a narrow-minded, jealous, and cruel existence. What's more interesting was that this kid was still young and had little life experience. Easy to be fooled.
Soon, the old devil tempted Xiao Xinglong, and together they transferred the original body's Thunder Element Sky Spirit Root into Xiao Xinglong's body. It is inevitable that there will be some damage when transferring the host of the thunder-type heavenly spirit root, and it is easier to be refined by the devil energy; and Xiao Xinglong is weak-willed, and it is easier to be taken away by the old devil than the original body.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, the old devil didn't immediately seize it after Xiao Xinglong obtained the Thunder Element Sky Spirit Root, because in his opinion, Xiao Xinglong had other uses—he wanted Xiao Xinglong to help him refine it with devil energy Thunder is the root of heaven.
The thunder-type heavenly spirit root is the nemesis of demons. It must be difficult to refine it, and if it is serious, it will be eaten back by the soul. Lao Mo naturally didn't want to take this risk, so he was going to hand over this arduous task to Xiao Xinglong.
If Xiao Xinglong started to refine the Thunder Element Sky Spiritual Root with devil energy, the consequences would be a loss for both sides. Once Xiao Xinglong is backlashed and his soul is unstable, the old devil can take him away more easily; and the lightning root has been eroded by Xiao Xinglong's devilish energy, which is more conducive to the old devil's next refinement.
In this way, it really kills two birds with one stone.
Lao Mo's abacus was well planned, but he ran into trouble in implementing it.
Xiao Xinglong was fierce and decisive when he seized his elder brother's spiritual root, but when the old demon asked him to leave the Xiao family and change from cultivating Taoism to cultivating demons, he flinched. What surprised Lao Mo even more was that the Xiao family looked like a family of monks, but in fact they were a group of pious people. They knew that Xiao Xinglong had colluded with Moxiu, but they still protected him for the sake of the Lei Tian Linggen. Come down—what a waste, the old devil deliberately let Xiao Yun go when he seized Xiao Yun's spiritual root, and let him return to the clan to sue Xiao Xinglong.
Due to the protection of the Xiao family, Xiao Xinglong was even more unwilling to leave with the old devil. The old devil has nothing to do about it, he has seen through Xiao Xinglong's sinister, jealous and weak temperament like mud, and he also knows that going too far is too much - if he keeps asking Xiao Xinglong to follow him in cultivating demons, Xiao Xinglong will definitely be suspicious and vigilant.
So, no matter how much desire he had in his heart, the old devil suppressed it and hid in Xiao Xinglong's body for more than ten years. During these ten years, he helped Xiao Xinglong "with all his heart and soul", and responded to his requests in every possible way, in order to make the other party trust him, rely on him, and relax his guard against him.
I have to say, Lao Mo did a good job. Every time Xiao Xinglong asked for help, he would perfectly help the other party solve the problem, and Xiao Xinglong became more and more used to asking him for help.
When he was cornered in the arena, Xiao Xinglong's first reaction was to ask for help, and what the old devil had been waiting for for ten years was such a god-given opportunity - if he exposed Xiao Xinglong's devilish energy in public, he would definitely be rejected by Taoist cultivators. Then, Xiao Xinglong, who was driven to a dead end, had no choice but to follow him to practice magic.
Once he cultivates the demon, the lightning root in Xiao Xinglong's body will resist and make trouble. Even if the old devil doesn't say anything, Xiao Xinglong must try his best to suppress and refine the spiritual root in his body - then, everything will come naturally.
As for the group of Qi training and foundation-building disciples in the big competition venue, the old devil doesn't take it seriously at all, and the Jindan elders sent by various families to lead the team and preside over the big competition, even if the old devil can't beat them, they still have many means With Xiao Xinglong under his arm, he fled in front of them.
With a strange laugh, the old devil responded to Xiao Xinglong's request without hesitation, and Xiao Xinglong, whose mind was so confused that he couldn't think and could only rely on his instincts to ask for help, naturally couldn't detect the suppressed excitement in the old devil's tone.
Following the instructions of the old devil, Xiao Xinglong threw out a piece of thunder light again, and in that flickering and bright lightning light, a wisp of black energy loomed.
"It's demon energy!" Moxiu and Daoxiu had always had a lot of grievances and grievances. The elders of the family could see the origin of that trace of black energy at a glance, and couldn't help shouting loudly, while the elders of the Xiao family were sweating coldly, and their eyes were tearing.
It is definitely not a trivial matter that demonic energy appeared on the ring of the family competition. Immediately, an elder wanted to fly onto the stage, but unexpectedly, a lightning-like sword light was one step ahead of everyone, and cut off the devilish thunder light in an instant.
The sword energy was very fierce, and it didn't show any sign of dissipating after cutting off the thunder light, and it went straight to Xiao Xinglong. This sword energy is by no means comparable to Xiao Yun's sword energy. Xiao Xinglong had no room to dodge at all, so he was slashed in the chest by the sword energy and spewed out a mouthful of blood. His whole body was like a kite whose string was broken by the strong wind It flew out of the ring like that.
At the same time, sensing that the situation was not good, a ray of more condensed black air flew out of Xiao Xinglong's body, and fled quickly, but the next sword light was even faster than it.
With a soft rebuke of "Where is the magic way?", the black air was split in half by the second sword light, and when the sword light dissipated, a figure in a white Taoist robe appeared on the side of the black air, The long sword twisted and stirred.
In a scream that was extremely shrill and trembling, the two halves of black energy were smashed to pieces and could no longer condense. After confirming that the old devil was indeed dead, the man in white put his sword back into its sheath, and turned around in the air, revealing a handsome face like frost.
