Su Lun used to be a genius. When he first became a magician, his teacher Yuan Quxing said so.
And he's been convinced of it ever since.
Until his teacher Yuan Quxing died in an accident, reincarnated and left, disappeared and was replaced by Cross Star to be the person in charge of the suburb.
Without the protection of the teacher, he lost all the auras of the past, and fell from a genius that everyone valued to an ordinary member.
If it wasn't for his elder brother's secret care, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the slightest qualification to become Cross Star's assistant now.
But now, his elder brother had managed to get active, found the right opportunity, and was about to push him to become Lord Cross Star's assistant, but he didn't expect to be robbed by an outsider for no reason.
As the cold wind blew, Pingyuan went on the road holding a piece of his neck, which was broken when Su Lun just activated the neck wrap.
"Do you want more?" Lu Sheng shook his neck at him.
Su Lun, who had lost a part of his neck, fell silent, and his face gradually began to distort. There was only a gap in his missing place, and thick gray air connected his head and neck.
"You... Damn it!" Su Lun's whole body shrank suddenly, his neck quickly returned to its original shape, and he turned around and wanted to run.
The opponent's physical body was too strong, that kind of toughness, even if he tried his best, he couldn't break it. On the contrary, his strongest neck was broken.
"Since you're here, let's stay here." Lu Sheng took a step forward, his right arm suddenly extended and lengthened, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a thick pitch-black scaly claw, and he grabbed it out fiercely.
Woo!
There was a scream in the air, and the gravel on the ground around Su Lun was blown away by the huge impact at any time.
The tyrannical oppressive feeling has not yet arrived, and the squeezed air has reached him in advance.
"you!!"
Before he had time to say anything more, he turned around with his arms resting on Lu Shengclaw.
boom! !
With Su Lun as the center, the ground under his feet suddenly exploded, revealing a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of seven or eight meters.
Lu Sheng stood by the pit and slowly retracted his sharp claws. The wound on his body healed automatically, as if he was not injured.
"Your dagger is indeed sharp. It's a pity you are too weak."
Su Lun stood in the center of the snake pit, with large streams of gray gas continuously gushing out of his body, just like blood splashing out of his body.
He stared blankly at Lu Sheng, his eyes full of horror.
"You're not....not...."
Boom! !
His whole body exploded suddenly, his body completely turned into a mass of gray gas and dissipated in the air.
Lu Sheng stood silently by the pit, observing the gray gas surging inside for a while.
"The speed is very fast and the lethality is very strong. At least it can hurt my physical body. It can be regarded as a standard holy master level. It's just that it is too weak. It doesn't have the defense and vitality that a holy master should have.
Perhaps this is what their magicians lack, so they forged divine weapons and threw them into the lower realm to sacrifice to Dacheng? "
He guessed, although it is not clear whether this is the truth, but at least it is a reason.
After careful inspection, Lu Sheng did not find any corpses left in the pit, and everything turned into a complete gray gas, which is the source of pain, and quickly dissipated in the air.
"This Su Lun, if all magicians are of his level, then indeed, the World of Pain does have the power to sweep everything away." Lu Sheng estimated the level of the World of Pain. He had met Su Lun several times before. The status of the town is similar to that of ordinary miscellaneous soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that there was an older brother who was doing well, he would basically be lost in the crowd.
But even such a guy can actually reach the state of the soul at the level of the Holy Master.
Although his physical body is weak, he can drive the source of pain.
"If everyone in the world of pain has this level of strength, then it is true..." Lu Sheng glanced at the strange and motionless tree beside him.
He reached out and flicked his fingers.
boom! !
A stream of white air blasted out, smashing hard in the middle of the trunk of the big tree.
The whole tree wailed, and slowly fell to the ground. A distorted old face appeared on the trunk. He screamed, and his whole body began to disintegrate, turning into gray powder.
These powders gradually dissolved into gray gas and dissipated in the sky.
Soon the tree was in place, leaving only a bright blue clear gemstone.
"Huh?" Lu Sheng was taken aback, and went up to pick up the gem. This was the first time he saw something colored in the world of pain for so long.
The gem was pinched between his fingers, exuding a faint warm breath, and there seemed to be a heart-like rhythm in the center, beating and beating.
"Maybe it will be useful." Lu Sheng put away the gems, checked the position below, and continued to explore in the predetermined direction.
In the next hour or so, he encountered several different big trees one after another, some of them used branches to pierce corpses and suck flesh and blood. Some tied living creatures with branches and strangled them to death.
He named these three kinds of trees as Whipping Dryad, Piercing Dryad, and Binding Dryad.
Compared with the whipping dryad, the piercing dryad is bigger, has more branches and leaves, and has a stronger skin. Lu Sheng's ordinary cathode state is actually useless to it. He used his body power to successfully kill it and get a large piece of it. of sapphires.
As for the bound tree demon, the body is bigger and stronger, and even the height from the crown of the tree to the ground has reached more than 30 meters, which seems to be the evolution version of the first two. Only then did he forcefully tore it into shreds. Get a fist-sized sapphire.
After killing the second bound tree demon, Lu Sheng knew that he could no longer continue. There are still many secrets in the world of pain, and his current strength is not enough to understand them all.
He still has room to become stronger. As long as he has enough divine power, he can push Yinhuo Mingyan to an unimaginable level.
Holy Master is far from the limit.
After killing the second bound tree demon, Lu Sheng turned and returned.
Half a month later, Qiuyue County.
The reconstruction work after the retreat of the magic army took up most of the energy of the three masters including Chen Jingzhi. Although they are not directly responsible for reconstruction, they need to go to maintain vigilance, protect the command of imperial officials and send additional guards.
Most of the time, Lu Sheng also began to be responsible for cooperating with Tongsheng Shengzhu to find Xiao Zizhu's whereabouts. When he was usually in the Dao Palace, he would ask Tongsheng Holy Master about the cultivation of the Holy Master level from time to time.
Only occasionally sneak into the world of pain to complete some small tasks.
But at this moment, the people from Qingluo Division came to inform Lu Sheng and Tongsheng Shengzhu. There are already clues about the murderer who slaughtered and plundered the divine soldiers, and I hope the two adults will go to check.
When he heard the news, Lu Sheng was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and was discussing with Tongsheng Shengzhu about whether the cultivation of the Holy Master should be based on the soul or the body.
A beautiful woman in purple tights was brought in by a disciple of Qianyang Sect from the Taoist Palace, knelt down on one knee, and reported the news to the two of them.
"If I remember correctly, the director of the Green Spiral Division should have been replaced, right?" Lu Sheng's heart moved slightly, and he asked in a flat tone.
The woman in purple said respectfully: "Your Excellency's words are correct. The director of our department is the director Cheng Xiaocheng who descended from Fucheng last month."
"Cheng Xiao? I've heard about this person at all. It is said that he is quite famous in the field of investigation. It is possible to track down this case." Holy Lord Tongsheng nodded while pinching his beard. "Let's take a look together?" He looked at Lu Sheng.
Of the black hands who can hunt down divine soldiers, I am afraid that they are the only holy masters who are qualified to lead the investigation.
"Naturally." Lu Sheng nodded. At the same time, my heart is also slightly more vigilant.
'Could it be that someone saw me when I attacked? Probably not, if Qingluo Division of Qiuyue County had a way to hide it from me, it wouldn't just work in this county. '
"Lead the way ahead."
Holy Lord Tongsheng got up, and together with Lu Sheng, followed the woman in purple out of the study room of the Dao Palace. Tongsheng waved his sleeves lightly to the ground, and suddenly a ball of white silk flew out of his sleeves. The people's feet automatically unfolded into a carpet, carrying the three of them and flying towards the distance.
The headquarters of Qingluo Division is in the county not far from Qianyangzong.
After the three of them landed, they were greeted by a group of green snail division masters, and walked into a square courtyard near the city. Several people were already waiting quietly in the yard.
"Teacher Tongsheng!" Seeing three people enter the door, one of them, a big red-faced man with a judge's pen on his waist, took the initiative to take a few steps forward, and bowed to Tongsheng to the end.
"Qingyuan, it's actually you? Why are you here?" Tong Sheng was also a little surprised. Reach out and help this person up.
At the same time, he also introduced Lu Sheng.
"Holy Lord Lu, this is my third apprentice Liu Qingyuan, remember to give me some pointers when you have time."
Lu Sheng nodded with a smile. The first time he came in, he secretly looked around to see if there was any ambush, but it was obvious that there was nothing, and even the defensive measures were only at the level of guarding against soldiers.
"My lords, now is not the time to reminisce about the old days. When the officials found out about the murderer, they were taken aback. They didn't expect that the person in the rumors actually existed."
A middle-aged scribe at the side dressed as a man and hurriedly said.
"Are you the director?" Lu Sheng asked out loud.
"Your official, Cheng Xiao, whose name is Qingchen, has met Lu Shengzhu." The newly-appointed head of the Qingluo Division bowed his head to Lu Sheng.
"Then let's see who the murderer is. It just so happened that Xiao Zizhu couldn't be found, so let's take this guy first." Seeing his disciple, Holy Master Tongsheng was in a good mood, waved his hand and was the first to enter the inner living room.
The rest of the people followed suit one after another, with Tong Sheng sitting in the main seat and Lu Sheng sitting in the second place.
Cheng Xiao, the director of the Blue Snail Division, had a solemn expression, which made people take off the huge glazed mirror and put it in front of everyone. Then stroke lightly around the round glazed mirror to light up the silver patterns.
Soon, a real surveillance-like image appeared on the mirror.
A tall middle-aged man with a huge scar on his right arm was standing in a dark street corner, holding an old woman's neck with one hand, and slowly tore off the jade ring magic weapon from the old woman's hand.
click.
After a crisp sound, the old woman's neck broke, and a dark vortex suddenly appeared behind her, and countless pale arms stretched out from the vortex, pulling her in.
"kindness?"
Suddenly, the man seemed to have noticed that someone was watching, and turned his head to look at the side of the glasses.
Boom.
The image in the mirror instantly shattered, and everything disappeared completely.
"This man's name is Jing Hong." The director of Qingluo Division explained. "He is a wanted criminal who disappeared decades ago from one of the three great families. His strength reaches the sky and bottomless. Back then, he escaped from the Jing family, one of the three great masters, with extreme temperament. , because my former first love and younger sister were used in the Divine Weapon Art Festival, so I am full of hatred for the Divine Weapon.
But because of his practice, he had to rely on the power of the gods, so his temperament became more and more distorted. He relied on a magical blade, the Fentian Ruler, which he obtained unintentionally, to hunt the gods wantonly, and used the fragments to cultivate the Fentian Ruler, so as to continuously strengthen himself.
We are also people who have heard of this kind of plundering other people's magical weapons to strengthen ourselves before, but we didn't expect to see one. "
