Although the puppet is powerful, its explosion duration is short. The strength of the green giant snake is not weaker than that of the exploded puppet. Once the puppet's Yuan Crystal is exhausted, Yang Qi will not be able to resist the green giant snake at all.
Whoosh~
Two figures flew through the weeds and stopped only after they left Hongze.
"Sun Hong died just like that?"
Yang Qi sighed. Sun Hong came to kill him, so he naturally had no sympathy for him. In fact, even if Sun Hong didn't die in the mouth of the blue giant snake, Yang Qi would have ordered the puppet to kill Sun Hong, but at least he could leave a whole body. But now, Sun Hong has become the food of the blue giant snake.
Sun Hong is a human being after all. Seeing him being eaten by the giant green snake like a side dish, Yang Qi felt somewhat uncomfortable. This is human nature.
"Fortunately, the giant green snake only tried it out and didn't take action. Otherwise, even if I could escape, the puppet would probably have to stay in Hongze." Looking at the endless green ocean, Yang Qi said secretly.
Yang Qi was seriously injured in the previous fight with Sun Hong, and his Yuanli was almost exhausted. If the giant green snake really attacked, the puppet could certainly resist the giant green snake, but in order to buy him time to escape, the puppet would probably keep entangled with the giant green snake. That was a puppet of the nine-star martial master level, of extraordinary value, and also an important means of saving Yang Qi's life. If it was lost, it would be a pity.
"Hongze is not simple!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. Hongze was not very large, only a few hundred miles in radius, but in a lake on the periphery, a nine-star martial arts master-level monster appeared. This was only in the periphery, only a few dozen miles away. If such a powerful monster appeared in the periphery, the monster inside Hongze must be even more powerful!
"It is rumored that Hongze is sparsely populated. It seems that it is not just sparsely populated. I am afraid that some practitioners who entered it have already died." Yang Qi shook his head secretly. The rumors were very harmful. If he did not have a puppet to protect him, he would probably have become the food in the belly of the giant green snake.
Hongze is densely covered with water networks and swamps of all sizes. There is no way to use any means of transportation, and there are no precious natural treasures in it, so few people are willing to enter. It is precisely because of this that the monsters in it can slowly grow up and become extremely powerful over time. Otherwise, it is impossible for such a swamp with a radius of hundreds of miles to give birth to monsters of this level.
The Rock Mountain Range that Yang Qi had been to before was thousands of miles in radius. Even the most powerful martial artists did not dare to enter easily at its deepest point. The level of danger in Hongze before them was almost as high as that in the depths of the Rock Mountain Range!
After putting away the puppet, Yang Qi rushed to a nearby county town, where he recovered from his injuries before continuing on his journey. Sun Hong was right, Yang Qi was indeed planning to go to the place where the martial king had made his breakthrough.
Yang Qi had seen a Martial King before. The mysterious old man in the palace left by the Wu Shi Emperor was a Martial King, but the mysterious old man at that time restrained his aura, so Yang Qi could only guess. After all, a Martial Lord only had a lifespan of a thousand years, and it was impossible for him to live from the time when the Wu Shi Emperor left the opportunity to the present.
When breaking through, one's own aura cannot be concealed, and can only be hidden with the help of formations. However, the Wu King's breakthrough caused the heaven and earth's vitality to move, and it was obvious that the formation could not hide the movement of his breakthrough. If one could see the place where the Wu King broke through, it might be touching. Although this possibility is very small, it still attracted countless practitioners, and even some powerful martial masters.
…
Yuan Jianfeng.
At this moment, a man was looking anxiously in the direction of the mountain road. This man was the one who had informed Sun Hong before.
"It's been half a day and Sun Hong hasn't come back yet. Did something happen to him?" The man's face was full of worry. Sun Hong was the key to whether he could become his disciple.
Thinking of this, the man sent a message to Sun Hong again through the messaging talisman, but the message fell on deaf ears and there was no response at all.
Sun Hong was not in seclusion, so it would only take a moment to send a message. Even if he was tracking Yang Qi, he should be able to reply to his message easily.
"An hour has passed since the two messages were sent. Even if there was a fight before, it should have ended by now." The man became more and more uneasy. If something happened to Sun Hong, he would not be able to become his disciple.
"Wait a little longer, maybe something has delayed him." The man comforted himself.
Time passed, and Sun Hong did not come back until the next morning. He even sent him messages several times at night, but Sun Hong did not reply. At this moment, the man realized that Sun Hong might really be dead.
"Sun Hong may be dead. We must not let anyone know. I have contacted him recently!" A gleam of light flashed in the man's eyes.
Sun Hong was the elder's direct disciple. Although Sun Hong's master was in seclusion, he would definitely find out later. Once he found out that this matter was related to him, he, an ordinary six-star martial master, would be dead. In addition, Yang Qi's ability to kill Sun Hong also shocked the man. Yang Qi was only a five-star martial master, but he killed Sun Hong
"I can't afford to offend either side."
The man knew very well that neither Master Sun Hong nor Yang Qi were people he could afford to offend. The only thing he could do now was to completely forget about the incident and pretend it had never happened!
Yang Qi didn't know that someone had suspected him of killing Sun Hong, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. For such a thing, without evidence, the clan would never punish him. Most importantly, he really didn't kill Sun Hong!
Because of the delay in healing, the journey that would have taken only half a day took Yang Qi a full day to reach the barren mountain where the powerful Martial King had broken through.
“Is that the place where King Wu broke through?” Looking at the direction of the barren mountain from afar, Yang Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At this time, the barren mountain was almost split into two. One side of the mountain was completely shattered, as if it had been smashed by a punch. In the shattered mountain, there was a big pit. At this time, there were some practitioners outside the pit.
“There are so many practitioners?” Yang Qi frowned slightly. There were more than a hundred people on the broken mountain. Although it was somewhat inconspicuous compared to the entire mountain, for the martial arts masters, they could see other practitioners.
"This is considered a small number. In the first few days, there were thousands of people coming every day, including many Martial Lords. It's not like now, when there are only a hundred or eighty people." At this moment, an abrupt voice came from beside Yang Qi.
Yang Qi turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man. His cultivation was not high, only at the three-star martial arts master level.
"There are thousands of people. On average, each person's range is probably only a few dozen feet, right?" Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
“It’s not that simple. Those powerful and influential practitioners have joined forces to occupy the mountain. Ordinary practitioners can’t get close at all. They let others in only after they have gained nothing.” The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
There is actually such a thing
Yang Qi was stunned. He underestimated the fights between practitioners. In order to fight for opportunities, not to mention blocking the mountain, even a war could break out. (To be continued)
