Mountains, waves and peaks are layer upon layer.
Mountains nearly ten thousand feet high are lingering in the clouds. The mountains are high or low, with strange shapes, as if they are ancient giant beasts entrenched in silence.
It was dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured down like blood and stained the clouds. The vast and majestic mountains were bathed in the setting sun, outlining a magnificent and majestic picture.
"what's going on?"
"Where is this?"
In front of a steep cliff bank that was as steep as ten thousand feet, a young man was mumbling to himself. He had a thin and clear cheek, broad and resolute brows, and a temperament as tough as iron. He was clearly Chen Xi.
Misty, cotton-like clouds were floating on the cliff, and he was in the sea of clouds. The mountain wind howled, making his clothes rustle, as if he was about to ride away in the next moment.
However, at this moment, Chen Xi frowned and his eyes were filled with thoughts, "I clearly remember that when the Immortal Mansion collapsed, I was running away like a crazy fly. I almost thought I was going to die. , how could he appear here in the blink of an eye?"
"Don't think about it, there is a powerful person who tears apart the void and saves you." Ji Yu appeared quietly and stood in front of the cliff of the sea of clouds, with a look of surprise on his expression.
Tear apart the void? The mighty one
Chen Xi took a breath of cold air. He really couldn't imagine what kind of powerful person it was to have the terrifying means of tearing apart the void.
After a while, he noticed something. Ji Yu said the word "you". It goes without saying that Chai Letian and Su Jiao were also rescued.
"But why did that powerful person want to help?" Chen Xi asked.
Ji Yu shook his head and sighed: "I don't understand. Maybe he happened to pass by and saw you on the verge of death, so he helped you to accumulate merit for himself."
Accumulating merit is a bit too coincidental... Chen Xi couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped thinking and murmured: "I was lucky enough to escape, but I was among these huge mountains. The mountains are one after another. It seems like there is no end, and I don’t know where to go back to Songyan City.”
"If my prediction is correct, this should be the hinterland of the Hundred Thousand Miles Nanman Mountains. Look there, the demonic energy is soaring into the sky, condensing and not dissipating. It is obvious that there is a big demon with overwhelming arrogance." Ji Yu pointed to a tower in the distance. Towering peaks reaching into the sky.
Chen Xi felt a chill in his heart and raised his eyes to look in the direction Ji Yu was pointing. Sure enough, on a mountain peak in the distance, there was billowing black mist, like wolf smoke that was as straight as a cloud, condensing and not dissipating.
Although the demonic beasts can transform into humans when they step into the innate world, the demonic aura on their bodies cannot be erased, and the deeper the cultivation level, the stronger the demonic aura becomes.
The soaring monster energy condensed on the distant mountain peak undoubtedly proves that there is an extremely powerful monster entrenched there. As for its strength, not even Ji Yu can accurately judge, let alone Chen Xi.
"Um?"
Ji Yu seemed to have noticed something and frowned. After a moment of silence, he relaxed his brows and his expression returned to normal. He shook his head and said, "It seems that you did run into a dangerous place where monsters are rampant." As he said that, his body swayed. It has disappeared.
"It turns out... to be... human!"
Before Chen Xi could understand the meaning of Ji Yu's words, a rough voice suddenly sounded in the distance. His words were jerky, as if he had just learned to speak.
The place where Chen Xi stood was on the side of the cliff at the top of a steep mountain peak, surrounded by clouds, and behind him was a rugged rocky land.
At this moment, there was a young man in black with an ugly appearance and a strong figure standing there, with a pair of green eyes that revealed a cruel and cruel look without any concealment.
"A great demon in the Xiantian realm?"
Chen Xi had killed numerous innate-level monsters in the Southern Barbarian Mountains, and he was no longer Wu Xia Amon. He could identify the young man in black almost at a glance.
"Well, it is indeed a human. I, Mukui, have been practicing for nearly a thousand years, and this is the first time I have encountered a human. I heard that human meat is tender and delicious, but I don't know if it is true or not."
The young man in black who called himself Mukui talked to himself. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his mouth, revealing a pair of cold and sharp teeth.
"Want to eat my flesh? A monster is a monster after all. Even if it transforms into a human form, it is difficult to change the bloodthirsty desire in its bones."
Chen Xi shook his head, and immediately touched the ground with his toes, stepped on the eight steps of Tianlong, and like a cheetah swooping out, he fiercely attacked the young man in black, Mu Kui.
Mu Kui never expected that Chen Xi would take action as soon as he said so, and he would be attacked by Chen Xi in a blink of an eye.
boom!
With a simple punch, Mukui was instantly knocked away. However, before his body could fall, Chen Xi climbed up again, bent his elbows and threw his arms, and punched down with his fists like drills.
With a loud bang, Mukui was smashed directly into the hard rock ground, his body was deeply sunken, and streams of bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
brush!
Chen Xi raised his fist again.
"Don't fight, don't fight, I admit defeat, please forgive me, senior, please forgive me!" Mu Kui shouted in horror, but a look of cruelty and anger flashed deep in his eyes.
Want to fool me
Chen Xi sneered in his heart and ignored Mu Kui's begging for mercy. He punched him dozens of times in a row. Each punch was struck with all his strength, until Mu Kui's flesh and blood were torn, and an unknown number of bones were broken.
For a moment, the entire mountaintop was filled with Mu Kui's shrill wails for mercy. The sound was so pitiful that it was very moving to hear it.
"Now, do you still want to eat my flesh?" Not long after, Chen Xi looked at the dying Mu Kui on the ground and asked coldly.
In fact, he is not a stone-hearted person, and he is not to the point of killing monsters. However, this Mu Kui is extremely cunning. When he gave in for the first time, he was obviously pretending to deceive Chen Xi. If If you don't beat it to the point of fear in your heart, maybe something else will happen.
The world of monsters and beasts is actually more naked than that of humans. From the bottom of their hearts, they have always adhered to the survival law of respecting the strong. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say, and there is no sense at all.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, I'm so young and can't see the mountains. I hope my seniors will forgive me."
There was awe and fear in Mu Kui's tone. His cheeks were red and swollen from being beaten by Chen Xi, and his already ugly face looked even more miserable.
"Okay, let me ask you something. If you can answer to my satisfaction, I will let you go. Well, you should get up first." Chen Xi said with his hands behind his hands.
"I'm sure, I promise, I will tell you everything I know, and I will make sure your senior is satisfied." Mu Kui struggled to stand up from the ground, and nodded repeatedly despite the severe pain all over his body.
"Where is this?"
"Senior, this is among the 100,000 mountains in the southern barbarian land. This mountain is called Baoyue, and it is where I practice." Mu Kui really knew everything and answered very simply.
"Oh, do you know how to get out of here?" Chen Xi continued to ask without moving his expression, making it difficult to see his true inner thoughts.
This look seemed unfathomable in Mu Kui's eyes, and he became more and more convinced that Chen Xi was a strong human being who accidentally entered this place.
However, Chen Xi's second question still made Mu Kui couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a daze: "Senior, don't you know how you got here?"
Chen Xi hummed. The dissatisfaction in his voice scared Mu Kui to the point where he trembled, but he still looked embarrassed and answered: "Senior, I have been practicing here since I was a child. I have never left Baoyue Mountain for thousands of years. This is a minor problem." It’s also impossible to answer.”
"Okay, let's go." Chen Xi pondered for a moment and waved his hand.
Mu Kui couldn't help but was stunned again, letting him go so easily? He couldn't believe it and didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this moment, a strong and dull sound like a big drum came from the foot of the mountain, "Mukui son, I must kill you today. Get out of here, grandpa!"
The sound was so loud that it rumbled throughout the entire Baoyue Mountain.
"It's over, Li Hu is here again..." Mu Kui's expression suddenly changed and became extremely miserable, looking like he was lost.
Chen Xi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is this guy very powerful?"
Mu Kui weakly smiled bitterly and said: "He is on par with me, but in my current state, how can I be his opponent? Alas, if it weren't for senior just now..."
"Are you complaining that I hurt you?" Chen Xi interrupted coldly.
Mu Kui was startled, and then he realized that this person next to him was a more ruthless character than Li Hu. He immediately explained quickly: "Senior, please calm down, I definitely didn't mean this, absolutely not!"
"Then why did Li Hu want to kill you?" Chen Xi just wanted to scare him. Seeing how docile he was, he couldn't bear to make him feel uncomfortable anymore.
"It's not just to snatch my training cave."
Mu Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, I'm telling you the truth. There is a top-grade spiritual vein in this small cave. That Li Hu got the news from nowhere, so he wanted to occupy my cave and leave me with no place to live."
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid of being robbed by me?" Chen Xi gave Mu Kui a meaningful look.
Mu Kui also knew that his little thoughts could not be hidden from Chen Xi, and he replied happily: "As long as senior can help me kill Li Hu, there is no problem in giving this training cave to senior."
"What about you?" Chen Xi asked step by step.
Mu Kui fell to his knees with a bang, kowtowed, and said loudly: "I would like to follow in front of Senior, become a spiritual beast under Senior's knee, and serve Senior all my life."
Chen Xi was stunned, never expecting that Mu Kui would make such a sacrifice.
When a monster recognizes its master, it is tantamount to making an oath of heaven. It can only follow its master for the rest of its life. Life and death are completely controlled by its master. No spiritual beast is willing to do this except under special circumstances.
"Mukui kid, you can't hide, show up and die!"
The dull and strong voice rumbled again, and near the mountainside of Baoyue Mountain, a fiery red figure was running towards the top of the mountain.
