Bloody mountainous area, in front of a canyon.
"Four fellow Taoists, please stay. There are a group of hundreds of evil beasts hidden in this bloody canyon. Let's form a team to hunt them together and divide the evil beads evenly. How about that?"
More than a dozen monks gathered around, and the skinny middle-aged man in the lead suggested with his hands raised.
"Sorry, we still have something to do." Du Qingxi said coldly without any intention of stopping.
"Ha, don't refuse this girl first. There is nothing more important than making money. With our strength, hunting those evil beasts is not a problem. I see four Taoist friends who are all extraordinary in appearance. Join us. I'm sure I'll get a hefty reward." The skinny middle-aged man headed by him continued to follow the temptation.
Chen Xi looked at the group of monks who had gathered around him, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
Du Qingxi said no more. Duanmuze, dressed in white and smiling, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm sorry to tell you that you chose the wrong target for this robbery."
"Bah, what the hell, if you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty!" The skinny middle-aged man's expression changed, and he sneered and snapped his fingers. The faces of the monks who were surrounding him suddenly became ferocious, and their eyes revealed a fierce light.
"I'll give you one last chance. Hand over all the evil beads on your body and get out of here. By the way, leave that bitch here so I can vent my anger." The skinny middle-aged man gave an ultimatum with a strange laugh.
"You dare to insult Qingxi, you are really looking for death!"
Seeing that this skinny middle-aged man actually attracted Du Qingxi's attention, Duanmuze's face turned cold, and a colorful long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Buzz!
The powerful seven-star gilded rainbow sword exuded an unparalleled aura and trembled slightly in Duanmuze's hand, as if he was eager to drink the enemy's blood.
In an instant, the temperament of Duanmuze, who was holding a sword in one hand, changed, and the smile on his lips turned into a cold arc. He jumped forward like an unsheathed sword!
"Go! Let's kill this kid first!"
Feeling the change in Duanmuze's aura, the skinny middle-aged man's pupils shrank. He knew he was in trouble, so he didn't dare to hesitate. He shouted loudly, held two knives in his hands, rolled up a wave of knives, and used them as a hood for Duanmuze.
"kill!"
The other monks also offered their weapons and surrounded Duanmuze.
Faced with such a situation, Du Qingxi looked calm, Song Lin was sleepy and drowsy, and Chen Xi looked at the monks who had robbed the Dao with pity in his eyes.
Are these little guys a gang? He actually died alone? The skinny middle-aged man glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Du Qingxi and the others standing by, and was slightly startled.
"Fluttering light!"
Just when the skinny middle-aged man was in a trance, a low groan suddenly sounded in his ears. When he came back to his senses, he saw thousands of sharp sword lights surrounding him, and a monstrous aura rushed towards him.
Ding, dong, dong… A series of metal cracking sounds as dense as fried beans suddenly sounded, and all the weapons in the hands of the monks who came up were broken.
Is the sword in this guy's hand an advanced magic weapon
The monks who gathered around him, including the skinny middle-aged man, all showed expressions of astonishment. Immediately, endless fear and chills surged through their bodies. He is so young and possesses an advanced magic weapon. Could it be that he is the core of those big sects and big families who have come out to practice? disciple
"Die!"
Duanmuze glanced at the group of "silly geese" with disdain, moved his wrist slightly, and in an instant, more than ten sword rays shot out like a sword.
Puff puff puff... A series of blood spurted out. The skinny middle-aged man and his accomplices hadn't figured out Duan Muze's identity yet. He felt a pain in his chest and a blood hole appeared in his heart. He immediately opened his pupils and fell to the ground.
"It's really ridiculous to imitate other people's robberies with such little cultivation." Duanmuze shook his head disdainfully, turned around calmly, never looked at the dead body on the ground again, and said calmly: "Who, then, clean up the battlefield?"
Chen Xi walked forward quickly and skillfully began to collect the evil beads on these monks.
From the moment they entered the bloody mountainous area, they encountered groups of unsighted monks who robbed them. These monks made up various excuses for the sole purpose of robbing the four of them of the evil beads.
Faced with this situation, Master Duanmu naturally cannot sit idly by.
Of course, the most important thing was to show his graceful demeanor and strong strength in front of Du Qingxi. He grabbed all the enemies with one hand and did not let Chen Xi and the other three take action. ", and the seven-star gilded rainbow sword, an advanced magic weapon in his hand, easily wiped out all the enemies, making him very famous.
As for those extremely powerful characters, the four of them didn't meet any of them, so they were extremely lucky.
Mr. Duanmu did not bother to make money from the dead, so he handed over the cleanup work to Chen Xi. For the sake of the evil bead and the Xuanming evil energy in it, Chen Xi had no reason to refuse. After several times of cleaning work, he plundered the wealth of the dead. He became more and more proficient in his techniques, "This canyon is called Bloodshed. There is a simple city behind it where you can rest. We have to speed up and get there in advance. Otherwise, when night falls, the evil beasts hiding in the dark will come out one after another. , wreaking havoc on every inch of this land, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will be submerged in the sea of evil beasts, which is extremely terrifying."
Du Qingxi looked at the jade slip map in his hand and saw that Chen Xi had finished cleaning up the battle, without stopping at all, and immediately headed towards the depths of the canyon.
"Is there a city here?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask on the way.
"Yes, the Southern Barbarian Underworld has a history of nearly ten thousand years. In order to survive the terrifying night in the bloody mountains, many monks gathered together thousands of years ago and jointly built defensive camps. After repairs and repairs by later generations of monks, Reinforcement and expansion formed the city today.”
"I see."
Chen Xi nodded. Hunting evil beasts must consume true energy. Since the spiritual energy in the southern barbarian underworld is exhausted and the evil energy is soaring, replenishing true energy requires not only carrying the essence stone elixir with you, but also a safe environment and time to absorb and refine it. , the emergence of cities undoubtedly solves this problem very well.
There were no words along the way, and soon Chen Xi and the others passed through a thousand-mile-long canyon and arrived at a vast plain.
On the way, Chen Xi and his party also met some other monks. However, as soon as they met, before Chen Xi and others could react, those monks stayed away from each other, like frightened birds, with a strong look in their eyes. Be alert and alert.
"The monks who can reach here have undoubtedly experienced many robberies and fierce battles, and their strength must be extremely high. Judging from the direction they are heading, they also want to enter the city early... With so many monks gathered together, they don't know they have arrived. Will there be any killings there..."
Chen Xi silently thought about his thoughts, but his steps were not slow at all. Under the leadership of Du Qingxi, he ran for nearly an hour, and finally saw the outline of a city appearing in a very far distance.
"This is the Bloody City, the first city in the Bloody Mountains. According to my calculations, there must be at least five thousand monks gathered there this time. These monks come from different places and are a mixed bag. We must be careful after entering."
Looking at the city that exuded the charm of ancient vicissitudes, Du Qingxi's steps slowed down slightly, and a cold voice reached the ears of Chen Xi and the others.
Chen Xi nodded slightly. Wherever there are people, there will be struggles. Both parties are trying to obtain the evil beads. Once a conflict breaks out, it will definitely be a life-or-death situation.
However, Chen Xi is not afraid of anything. With his current strength, he can retreat unscathed even from the Zifu monks. What's more, this is the Southern Barbarian Underworld where cultivation is restricted. The highest cultivation level can only reach the realm of innate perfection. .
Soon, the four of them arrived in front of Bloody City.
Different from other cities in the outside world, although Bloody City has the word "city" in it, it is about the same size as a village. It is surrounded by hard walls nearly a hundred feet high, and there is only a heavy iron gate in the center for people to enter and exit.
But at this moment, there was a huge crowd in front of the city gate. There seemed to be a dispute in front, which attracted many monks to stop and watch.
"Li Huai, what are you going to do? Kill someone and silence them?"
An angry voice came from the crowd. Chen Xi couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words, Li Huai? This guy actually came to Bloody City... After walking forward and looking around, Chen Xi found Li Huai, and opposite Li Huai, he even saw three acquaintances - Lu Shaocong and Qu Cheng from Hongye Academy. and Duan Ying.
At this time, all three of them had angry faces, but their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Li Huai.
Thinking about it, when Chen Xi first met the three of them, they were only at the Acquired Perfection Realm. In just three months, even if they advanced to the Xiantian Realm, they were no match for Li Huai, who had already advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm.
"Hmph, have you forgotten what happened three months ago? Not only did you ruin my Li family's affairs, but you also caused my Li family to lose a valuable treasure. Do you think I will let you go?" Li Huai smiled coldly. road.
"The major event that destroyed the Li family? Could it be that I forced away Butler Wu at Lingkong Lake and rescued the Li family who wanted to sacrifice "tributes"? At that time, I arranged for Lu Shaocong and three people to escort those people who were posing as "tributes" away. He must have been discovered by the Li family after entering Songyan City..."
An idea suddenly flashed in Chen Xi's mind, and he finally understood what was going on. Immediately, a surge of anger arose in his heart. This incident was caused by him, but it also implicated Lu Shaocong and the other three. The Li family's methods were too shameless and despicable!
"Since I have nothing to say..."
Just as Chen Xi was thinking, Li Huai suddenly took a step forward, clenched the right hand holding the sword slightly, and a sharp murderous aura surged out of his entire body.
"Then die!"
Following the sound, Li Huai drew his sword and stepped forward. The tip of the sword roared with a cold and sharp edge. It accidentally turned into a clear light all over the sky, like billions of green pine needles, cutting through the void and hooding Lu Shaocong and the others.
The true energy was condensed, and the sword was as silky as a needle. Li Huai's swordsmanship had obviously reached the level of "knowing the subtleties". He just thrust out a sword lightly, with a myriad of atmosphere and strict laws, instantly blocking all the escape routes of Lu Shaocong and the others. .
Lu Shaocong and the others obviously did not expect that Li Huai would be so ruthless and decisive. He would take action as soon as he said it. They were caught off guard in an instant. They stared blankly at the sword lights flying in the sky and forgot to dodge... Could he die like this?
At the moment of life and death, the same thought came to the minds of the three of them.
