laugh! laugh!
Chen Xi circulated his true energy, pricked his fingertips, and used his own essence and blood to outline rune patterns on the Xuanming Flying Sword.
To practice the Yinfeng Flowing Light Sword Formation, you must first draw the mysterious Yinfeng Talisman and Flowing Light Talisman on the flying swords with your essence and blood, so that there is a unique connection between the flying swords, echoing each other like breathing. This step is also called arranging the formation pattern. Without the formation pattern, it cannot be called a sword formation.
With Chen Xi's experience in making talismans, drawing these two talisman patterns was a matter of course.
But what surprised him was that when the Annihilating Wind Talisman and the Flowing Light Talisman were completed, there seemed to be a mysterious force on the flying sword, which instantly drained a large amount of his blood essence!
call!
After drawing all the runes on the eight Xuanming Flying Swords, Chen Xi's face turned pale and his mind was exhausted. It seemed to be even more tiring than a fierce battle.
"If my body wasn't strong enough and my energy and blood were boiling, I might not be able to complete just the step of arranging the array pattern. These should be eight flying swords. If I want to use the second level of the sword array, I would have to add fifty-six flying swords. I don’t know how much energy and blood I will consume to put the formation patterns on my body..."
Chen Xi sighed with emotion, and immediately turned his attention to the eight-handled Xuanming Flying Sword.
"Set up the formation!"
call out! call out! call out! call out!
The eight mysterious flying swords immediately floated around Chen Xi's body, and the sharp sword energy spurted out. These flying swords were like a school of spiritual fish. Under the control of Chen Xi's soul, they gathered, scattered, or criss-crossed. Staggered, or lined up... Smart and lively, like arms and fingers, the flying swords seem to have become part of their own bodies.
"It seems like something's wrong?"
Chen Xi thought silently, and suddenly remembered that the so-called formation can communicate the power of heaven and earth, and the same is true for sword formation. He must reach out to heaven and earth and use the power of heaven and earth for his own use... After a stick of incense.
Chen Xi raised his head, his eyes as clear as stars, and his heart moved. The eight Xuanming Swords floating around him suddenly chanted in unison, and there seemed to be an invisible echo between them, just like human breathing, condensed into A whole, integrated with each other, yet independent of each other, with an indescribable and ethereal charm.
Buzz!
The eight flying swords suddenly emitted a mist of sword light, sharp as needles, and erratic, swimming around Chen Xi's body. Although there were only eight flying swords, they revealed an unparalleled aura, like a chilling and cold sword. The soldiers of hundreds of battles were terrifying, and even the surrounding void was cut by the sharp sword light, making a buzzing sound.
"It's a pity that this is in a treasure ship and its power cannot be tested. However, according to the records of the Yanfengliu Light Sword Formation, the first heavy sword formation is enough to kill ordinary Huangting realm monks!"
There was a trace of satisfaction on Chen Xi's face, and he said secretly: "The Yinfengliu Light Sword Formation can only be used by Huang Ting realm monks, and I am only at the Purple Mansion five-star realm. Based on this calculation, my combat effectiveness should not be inferior to Huang Ting's. A monk..."
However, Chen Xi also knows that Zifu and Huangting are two great realms after all. When encountering some monster-like Huangting monks or even Zifu monks, he does not dare to be careless and capsize in the gutter of the cultivation world. There are just too many things going on.
Whoosh!
The treasure ship flew through the sky and swayed for several days.
That evening, Chen Xi just woke up from meditating. When he raised his eyes, he first saw a vast rolling mountain that seemed to have no end at a glance.
And in front of the mountain range, a city suddenly appeared, shaped like a tortoise shell, built on the mountain, covering an area of thousands of miles, but compared to the prosperous Lanhai City, it was small and pitiful.
Songyan City!
Chen Xi stood up and looked far into the distance. This was the first time he saw the whole of Songyan City. Looking down under the high sky, the entire city was reflected in his eyelids.
City Lord's Mansion, School District, Civilian District... Seeing familiar scenes one after another, Chen Xi suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
It's only been a year, how can it feel like I've been away for decades
Senior Ji Yu once said that after the monks laid the foundation of Taoism and began to understand the way of heaven, they could sense some bad luck in the dark, vague and mysterious, but extremely effective. Could it be that he also sensed something
Chen Xi suddenly felt a sense of annoyance in his heart. It was inexplicable, and it went away as quickly as it came. When he wanted to take a closer look, there was nothing there. His heart was empty, as if nothing had happened at that moment. .
"Ha, we'll be home soon. What's wrong with me? Are you more timid about being close to home?"
Shaking his head violently, Chen Xi took a deep breath, put away the treasure ship, and then rushed towards the city gate.
Walking into the city gate, looking at the familiar streets and smelling the familiar scent in the air, Chen Xi's tense heart not only did not relax, but became tighter and tighter, and his thoughts became inexplicably agitated.
He didn't stop and ran straight home.
It was as if some deep intuition drove him to do this.
His steps were like flying and his figure was like the wind. The closer he got to home, the harder Chen Xi's heart beat, like a drum beating, boom! Boom! Boom! Terrified.
Whoosh!
Chen Xi stopped, his pupils suddenly expanded, and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
The entire civilian area is divided into four large areas, each covering an area of thousands of miles, and is inhabited by the poor people in Songyan City. Chen Xi's home is located in one of these areas.
It is already evening. At this time in the past, people who had worked hard all day would come home early with their tired bodies. They would hold their rice bowls in groups and brag and chat. They would call their mothers-in-law to wash and cook. The children would have their buttocks bare. Fighting everywhere, girls and boys gathered together to whisper... However, at this moment, in this land of thousands of miles, there are no houses, no crowds, no sounds, no the familiar atmosphere for more than ten years, everywhere They are all collapsed rubble, white bones exposed on the ground, squawking crows, wild dogs gnawing at the corpses of the dead... Ruins!
The home is in ruins!
Chen Xi felt a moment of darkness, and an indescribable pain welled up in his heart. The pain was so painful that he covered his chest with his hands and wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a single sound.
What's going on here
What on earth happened!
Chen Xi couldn't believe all this. The intense pain and endless anger hit his consciousness like a tide, and his mind went blank.
He was like a walking corpse, his legs were like lead, walking step by step towards a familiar place, towards the home that accompanied his childhood and youth. Every step was so heavy, and every step felt like stepping into an abyss.
Home is the harbor in Chen Xi's heart that can shelter him from wind and rain. Here, he listens to his grandfather's teachings and takes care of his younger brother's daily life. No matter how tired he is every day, as long as he returns home and sees his grandfather and younger brother waiting for him to eat, he will I feel warm, and the humiliation and ridicule I suffer every day are so insignificant.
Home is the place that is indelible in Chen Xi's heart, the only remaining warmth.
Because of this family, he has shouldered everything early. He can endure being insulted as a broom star and being humiliated by someone breaking his engagement, because he has to take on the responsibility of this family and support the entire Chen family. He works hard every day. No matter how hard he works, he just wants to maintain this home, but now... Not only has his home been destroyed, but the nearby neighbors and thousands of miles away have also been reduced to ruins. Countless people have died, and their bones lie in the street, like a mass grave. Bloody hell.
"Have you heard? This is the work of the Li family, just because they want to destroy the remnants of the Chen family."
"Shh, keep your voice down. No one in the entire Songyan City dares to discuss this topic now, because the Li family has released word that anyone who has any contact with Chen Xi, even neighbors, will die without a burial place. You see Look, the civilians in this land of thousands of miles, with a population of tens of thousands, have all become dead bodies and bones on the ground because of Chen Xi's involvement."
"Ah, no way. Zhang's Grocery Store was destroyed because the boss Zhang Dayong had taken care of Chen Xi's business for many years. So what happened to the destruction of Qingxi Restaurant? I heard that everyone in the building died tragically in a sea of fire. It’s hit.”
"You don't know this, right? Chen Xi once worked as a spiritual chef apprentice at Qingxi Restaurant for a period of time. How could the Li family not eradicate him?"
A faint sound of conversation reached Chen Xi's ears. In the distance, two armored guards from the City Lord's Mansion were bending over to clean up the corpses in the rubble.
Is it all because of me... As if he was struck by lightning, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, but his face became colder and colder, and a little spark ignited in his ashen eyes. The sparks gathered more and more, and they suddenly turned into raging flames. It was so intense that it seemed to melt the heaven and the earth.
"Li family, Li family..."
The muttering to himself was like the whisper of the wind. The aura on Chen Xi's body was already full of murderous intent. In the Southern Barbarian underworld and in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarians, the endless bloody evil energy condensed after repeated killings was suddenly released, released without any scruples!
At this moment, he was like an undead walking out of the bloody quagmire, cold, ruthless, and murderous in the sky!
He knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times in the direction of home, stood up, and left, never looking back.
There is only one purest, simplest and most direct thought in my heart - kill!
"Hiss, it's so cold!"
"Why has the situation changed?"
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion who were cleaning up the corpses on the ruins shivered as if they were hit by a biting cold current. They looked up in confusion, but saw nothing.
No one noticed that there were several dead crows on the ground in the distance. The blood in their bodies was coagulated, their pupils were wide open, but there were no wounds on their bodies.
Zhang's grocery store, located on the bustling street of Songyan City, was reduced to ruins overnight.
Three months have passed.
On the bustling streets, there are row upon row of shops and noisy crowds. Everything is so lively. Only this place is as silent as a tomb. Pedestrians who pass by here must stay away from it, as if they are afraid of getting a trace of bad luck.
Here, there are still ruins, and there are dark red mottled blood stains in the cracks of the broken roof tiles. This is the blood of Zhang's grocery store owner and thirty-seven talisman-making apprentices. Although the corpses have rotted and disappeared, the blood cannot Erasure seems to be describing the fear, anger, and resentment in the heart...
