"Master Cui, why are you doing this? The Cui family is doomed to fall. Even if there is one more Huachi, it can only support them for a few more years! But once your life span is greatly reduced, your strength is greatly damaged, and you return empty-handed, the situation of the Cui family will be really precarious!" Shen Yan said with a gloomy face.
Before Shen Yan finished speaking, a strange aura and an extremely powerful and sharp aura suddenly emanated from Feng Ziluo.
Feng Ziluo, who originally had a handsome face and a chic and unruly temperament, had his facial muscles constantly twisted. Wisps of black mist escaped from his skin, lingering on his face and body, giving off an extremely cold and strange aura that kept changing, giving people the feeling that a demon had extended its tentacles from Feng Ziluo's body.
In this black fog that exudes an extremely cold and eerie aura, there is an extremely cold and sharp aura that rises into the sky like a sharp sword breaking through the dark clouds.
"Sect Master Feng!" Cui Shanhe's expression changed slightly, and a hint of grief and anger flashed in his eyes.
Feng Ziluo did not respond to Cui Shanhe, but slowly took out a flying sword shining with golden light and flicked the sword with his fingers.
"Dang!" The flying sword made a clear sound, then soared into the sky, spitting out sword light towards Shen Yan and others.
“Come on, my clan leader hasn’t fought with all his might for twenty years. I guess many people have forgotten that I also have the nickname Sword Madman!” Feng Ziluo said coldly, his bloodstained and tattered white clothes fluttering in the wind.
Shen Yan and Hou Hu looked at Feng Ziluo, with a hint of indecision in their eyes and extremely gloomy and ugly expressions.
Of course they had heard of the name of the Sword Madman!
Twenty years ago, this name made countless powerful people in the martial arts and Qi-refining circles of Xiyun Province grit their teeth, feel fear and be helpless.
At the age of 23, he became a great Qi Refiner, and with a sword in hand he challenged the younger generation of powerful masters from various Qi Refining sects in Xiyun Province.
No one can defeat him!
Twenty-two years ago, an elder of the Biyun Sect who was in the middle stage of the True Yuan realm was dissatisfied with his aggressiveness, flamboyant personality, and arrogance, so he wanted to teach him a lesson.
As a result, the two men fought each other. Feng Ziluo, who was at the initial stage of True Yuan, was beaten so hard that dozens of meridians in his body were broken. Even though his True Yuan was exhausted, he still refused to give in and continued to perform sword techniques frantically.
In the end, he deliberately paid the price of having his arm almost cut off, and used a sword to seal the throat of the elder of the Biyun Sect, forcing the elder to bow his head and admit defeat.
At that time, Feng Ziluo's left arm was drooping completely, and the white bones were visible at the wound.
After this battle, it was said that Feng Ziluo took half a year to recover.
It was also after this battle that Feng Ziluo was given the nickname Sword Madman.
Later, there were rumors that Feng Ziluo was about to break through and become a great Qi Refiner in the middle stage of Zhenyuan.
When this news came out, many people were terrified and thought that the Golden Sword Sect might be revived because of him.
But soon after, the Golden Sword Sect was attacked by the Demon Sect.
Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo were seriously injured, and two elders in the Zhenyuan realm died on the spot.
From then on, Feng Ziluo became very low-key, rarely showed up in public, and his cultivation stagnated.
Twenty years have passed in a flash, and many people have long forgotten his nickname, the Sword Madman.
Now that Feng Ziluo mentioned the three words "Sword Madman" again, Shen Yan and Hou Hu suddenly remembered that Feng Ziluo was not an ordinary Qi Refiner in the early stage of Zhenyuan.
This is a great man who had defeated a great Qi Refining Master in the middle stage of True Yuan when he was in the early stage of True Yuan!
"Sect Master Feng, if you were still at your peak state more than 20 years ago, we might have to retreat. But now you are entangled by the death energy of the underworld, how much of your power can you exert?
Besides me and Elder Hou, we also have 32 carefully selected martial artists and Qi refining masters! I advise you to stay and transform into Chi. Although it is good to transform into Chi, you have to live to enjoy it! "Soon, Shen Yan and Hou Hu looked at each other and said in a cold voice.
"You are right!" Feng Ziluo said coldly. The aura on his body became stronger and stronger, but at the same time the black energy became thicker and thicker, changing from time to time, like a hideous devil's face.
"Since you don't appreciate it, there's nothing we can do!" Shen Yan smiled coldly, pointed at Feng Ziluo and the others, and shouted coldly: "Kill!"
In an instant, rays of cold light shot through the air and flew towards Feng Ziluo and others.
At the same time, one after another figures jumped up with weapons in their hands, and pounced towards Feng Ziluo and others like tigers.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A fierce battle began.
Cui Shanhe swallowed the "Blood Burning Secret Pill" without hesitation. He was originally strong, but now he became even stronger. His arms were as thick as other people's thighs. His blood vessels and muscles bulged and expanded, and he looked particularly hideous and terrifying when he moved.
"Bang!" Cui Shanhe swung the Heaven-Shaking Hammer in his hand and hit a martial artist who was rushing towards him.
What the Hua Jin martial artist uses is also a hammer.
The two hammers collided, sparks flying.
The hammer in the Hua Jin martial artist's hand was knocked away at once, and he was so scared that he rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the Heaven-Shaking Hammer that Cui Shanhe continued to hit him with.
"Swish!" A golden light like a rainbow broke through the void and killed a martial artist.
Two cold rays rushed up, they were two water-based flying knives.
But as the golden sword light flashed, the cold light of the two flying knives disappeared and they fell down.
"Go!" Shen Yan's face suddenly changed when he saw this. He raised his hand and a banner covered with mist rose into the sky. It turned into thick mist that covered the golden sword light.
The golden sword light slashed down, and the clouds and fog dissipated in an instant.
Shen Yan's face changed slightly, his eyes shone brightly, his true energy and magical power surged out, and he kept pinching the magic formula in his hands. When the golden sword light was about to fly out, the broken clouds and mist closed again.
"Po Jun kill!" a cold shout rang out.
The flying sword in the clouds suddenly burst into sword light, and golden sword beams shot out in all directions. From a distance, it looked like a golden sun was about to break through the clouds.
As the golden light shines, the clouds and fog disappear.
Shen Yan's face changed again when he saw this, and he started to circulate his true energy and magic power.
The flags in the air waved continuously, and clouds and mist rolled up again.
But before the clouds and mist closed, Feng Ziluo's flying sword had already broken through the air.
Like a golden rainbow across the dark sky, it instantly pierced through the chest of a Qi Refiner.
The Qi Refiner fell to the ground with his back to the sky, dead.
Almost at the same time, Cui Shanhe smashed Hou Hu's sword with a hammer. Then, with a whoosh, the hammer fell and smashed the head of a martial artist who had joined forces to besiege him into pieces in front of Hou Hu.
Blood and brain matter splattered all over Cui Shanhe, making him look even more ferocious and brave.
Some martial artists showed a trace of fear and retreat when they saw Cui Shanhe, who looked like a ferocious beast.
"The Blood-Burning Secret Pill can't last long, let's wear him down!" Hou Hu roared with a ferocious look on his face when he saw this, and chopped towards Cui Shanhe's head with the big knife in his hand.
…
The fierce battle continues.
The sky was dark and gloomy.
There were more than twenty bodies lying in disarray at the foot of the mountain.
There was not an inch of intact skin on Cui Shanhe's body. He was covered in blood and it was unclear which pieces of blood belonged to others and which pieces were his own.
Feng Ziluo's face became paler and paler, but the black mist on his face became thicker and more ferocious.
There were only seven people left of the people the two men brought with them, all of whom were seriously injured but still struggling to hold on.
The situation looks bleak.
However, the situation of Biyun Sect and Hou Family is not good either.
More than half of the thirty men brought by the two families have died, and the remaining dozen or so are all injured.
Even though Shen Yan and Hou Hu were injured and breathing heavily, it was not difficult to see that they were exerting a lot of energy.
"Master Cui, the effect of the Blood-Burning Secret Pill should be wearing off soon, right?" Hou Hu, holding a big knife in his hand, approached step by step with two Hua Jin martial artists.
"Old Hou, don't worry. I will definitely drag you down with me before the momentum wears off!" Cui Shanhe raised the Heaven-Shaking Hammer with a grim smile, rushed forward like a trapped beast, and smashed Hou Hu hard.
However, this time Cui Shanhe's brave state did not last long. After killing another Huajin martial artist with a hammer, he was chopped by Hou Hu's sword and staggered. The Zhentian Hammer in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Haha! Prepare to die!" Hou Hu laughed wildly when he saw this. He kicked the ground hard with his feet, raised the big knife in both hands, and jumped high.
The blade emitted a dazzling light in the dim space.
Looking at the sharp blade coming down at him from high in the sky, Cui Shanhe's eyes were filled with resentment and frustration.
If Hou Hu had not been injured and exhausted while hunting Hua Chi, he would have been no match for him!
"Master Cui, I'm late!" At this moment, a green light suddenly lit up in the void.
A green spear, emitting a sharp force several meters long, pierced through the void and came like lightning.
"Dang!" The spear pierced the blade that was chopped down.
Hou Hu suddenly felt a strong and sharp force penetrating his body along the blade. Not only did his arm feel numb, but he also took several steps back.
"Bone Refining Realm, no, you've only reached the Energy Transformation Realm!" Hou Hu looked at the woman standing upright in front of Cui Shanhe and became surprised and angry again.
The woman who arrived in time was naturally Xiao Qing.
"Xiao Qing, good, good!" Cui Shanhe was surprised to see that it was Xiao Qing who arrived and repelled Hou Hu with one shot. It turned out that his strength was not inferior to that of a great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining.
"Xiao Qing, so you are from the Xiao family of Fangqiao City!" Hou Hu's face changed again when he heard this, and then he said in a cold voice: "Xiao Qing, it's not too late to leave now. With your Xiao family, you can't afford to provoke our Hou family!"
"Haha, who are you trying to scare, old man Hou? This is a lawless place, but outside is a lawful place. Your Hou family is far from qualified to destroy anyone you want.
Besides, before entering Panchi Mountain, the eighteen families had a private agreement. The Dragon Vein World is the Dragon Vein World. Even if you fight to the death here, and the sky is dark, it is all fate, and no one can be blamed. But once you leave here, everything will return to normal.
You, old man Hou, must know the relationship between the Xiao family and the Cui family in Fangqiao City, right? Xiao Qing is a member of my Cui family's camp. After we get out, if your Hou family dares to retaliate against the Xiao family, I, Cui Shanhe, swear in the name of the head of the Cui family that I will disregard all rules and immediately use all my strength to kill your Hou family and turn the world upside down!" Cui Shanhe said fiercely.
"You dare!" Hou Hu shouted angrily.
"This time, even my life was saved by Xiao Qing. If I don't even have this little courage, how can I have the face to sit on the position of the head of the Cui family!" Cui Shanhe said with a crazy look on his face.
"So what if Xiao Qing is here? After I kill Sect Master Feng, do you think Xiao Qing can withstand the combined forces of me and Elder Hou?" Shen Yan's cold voice sounded at this time.
In front of Shen Yan, a cloud of mist covered a golden flying sword.
The golden flying sword was like a trapped beast, rushing around frantically, but it couldn't break through the clouds and mist.
Not far from the cloud, Feng Ziluo’s face was as pale as gold paper, and the black energy on his body was baring fangs and claws, becoming more and more terrifying.
"Really?" At this moment, a teasing voice sounded faintly.
As the voice rang out, a cloud of mist rushed out from the mountains and forests like a torrent with the sound of breaking through the air.
In the clouds and mist, twelve points of cold light flew towards the people from the Hou family and the Biyun Sect.
"Oh no, there is a powerful Qi Refiner lurking in the jungle!" Shen Yan's face changed drastically, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
Feng Ziluo was such a great man, how could he not seize the opportunity and let out a long roar.
The golden sword in the clouds shone brightly again, turning into a dazzling golden rainbow, which suddenly cut through the clouds and killed towards Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's face changed again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned pale and old.
The flag suddenly grew larger in the wind, and in an instant, it rolled up a huge cloud of mist again to cover the golden sword.
At this moment, Shen Yan suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of crisis, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.
Hou Hu's direction was just facing Shen Yan. At this moment, he saw a figure on the grass behind Shen Yan, close to the ground, just like a grass snake blending into the grass. He didn't know when it had swam to a distance of three to five meters behind Shen Yan.
"Watch out behind you!" Hou Hu's face changed drastically and he yelled.
But it was too late. When Hou Hu roared, the figure had already leaped up like a cheetah.
He held a sharp sword in his hand.
The sword blade emitted a hint of cold light.
"Swish!" A friction sound was heard at the foot of the mountain.
Shen Yan lowered his head in disbelief as he looked at the bloody sword that pierced through his body. Then Shen Yan slowly turned his head with difficulty, wanting to take a look at the true face of the person who killed him.
"Swish!" Another friction sound was heard.
The sword was jerked out.
Blood gushed out from Shen Yan's chest.
"Plop!" Shen Yan fell to the ground, his eyes bulging out, full of unwillingness!
"No!" When Shen Yan fell to the ground, Hou Hu let out a deafening roar full of fear and unwillingness.
He flew backwards and then fell heavily to the ground.
His chest collapsed completely, his flesh and blood were all over the place, and he died.
It turned out that when Qin Ziling suddenly jumped up to attack Shen Yan, Xiao Qing took advantage of Hou Hu's shock and stabbed him with his spear.
In panic, Hou Hu blocked Xiao Qing's Qinglong Spear, but failed to avoid Cui Shanhe's Heaven-Shaking Hammer.
Cui Shanhe rolled over, then suddenly stood up and swung his hammer, hitting Hou Hu in the chest.
Killed with one hammer!
After the death of Shen Yan and Hou Hu, the remaining people were all panicked.
The battle was completely one-sided.
In the blink of an eye, all the people from Biyun Sect and Hou Family became corpses on the ground.
A mountain breeze blew, bringing with it a pungent smell of blood.
Everyone looked at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at Xiao Qing and Qin Ziling. They felt like they had survived a calamity, but also had an indescribable awe and chill.
Especially the look he gave Qin Ziling was inexplicably complicated.
His attack just now was extremely strange and fast.
Before they even understood what was happening, Shen Yan was killed by him!
Then the whole situation was reversed!
"Thank you very much, brother and Miss Xiao Qing, for your help!"
Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo stepped forward and bowed to Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing to express their gratitude.
"Bury your people and leave immediately!" Qin Ziling grabbed the magic flag used by Shen Yan through the air, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Okay!" Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo's faces turned grim. They quickly asked people to bury their people, and then hurriedly left the battlefield with Hua Chi, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing.
Of course before leaving, everyone looted all the weapons, magic tools and other items that Hou Hu and others carried with them and took them away.
However, everyone knows that there are great dangers this time, so they usually carry combat supplies and various elixirs to replenish qi and blood, restore true energy, and enhance strength. Other precious things will not be brought in.
Qin Ziling took away the most valuable magic flag, but considering his status as an expert, he did not participate in the search for other items.
Cui Shanhe and others left not long ago.
A group of people arrived at the battlefield.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, everyone gasped.
"They are people from the Biyun Sect and the Hou family. They were completely wiped out!" A bearded man said in shock.
"It was Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo who did it!" A thin middle-aged man looked at Hou Hu's hammer wounds and Shen Yan's sword wounds, and said solemnly.
"It seems that we still underestimated them!" said the bearded man.
"Yes, Cui Shanhe is naturally strong and powerful, and was appointed as the head of the Cui family at a young age. Hou Hu is already old and will not be his opponent.
As for Feng Ziluo, he has hardly been out for the past twenty years. I am afraid that many people have forgotten that twenty years ago, he was almost the most recognized young master in the Qi Refining Sect of Xiyunzhou! And he was so determined that it was not unfair for Shen Yan to die under his sword!" said the thin-faced man.
"Should we chase them?" asked the bearded man.
"Chase! Of course! How can we let go of such a good opportunity!" the thin-faced man sneered.
After saying this, he waved his hand, and a group of people quickly left the battlefield.
But soon they were lost.
"Among them there are experts who are good at hiding and tracking!" When the group of people chased to a fast-flowing stream and had no way to go, the thin-faced man said with a grim expression.
"Forget it, let's hurry up and look for Hua Chi. There's only half a day left." The bearded man frowned.
On the other side, in a cave on a cliff.
A group of people were treating their injuries or recuperating from their wounds.
Cui Shanhe, who is in his prime, has many wrinkles on his forehead. His jet-black hair is now half white, and he looks much older.
Feng Ziluo, who was originally free and easy with a rebellious and fierce aura, now had his back hunched, with black air coming out of his face from time to time and then shrinking back. He looked sick and had a weird aura.
However, when the two looked at the corpse of Hua Chi on the ground, their eyes were shining with hope and longing.
"This time, thanks to Brother Qin and Miss Xiao for coming to the rescue, otherwise we would have been buried in this dragon vein area." Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo looked at each other, then both stood up and bowed to Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing.
"Master Cui and Sect Leader Feng, you are too polite." Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing stood up and bowed humbly.
"Speaking of which, you saved our lives, so we shouldn't have any unreasonable expectations. But this Hua Chi is very important to our two families. It can even be said that it is related to the rise and fall of our two families in the next few years.
Therefore, we shamelessly propose that we divide the Chi into four parts, and each of us four will take one part. If you agree, the Cui family and the Golden Sword Sect will owe you a favor again, and we will definitely repay you handsomely in the future. " Cui Shanhe said in a deep voice.
"That's right. I, Feng Ziluo, always keep my words. In the future, if you need help from the Golden Sword Sect, as long as it is not evil, and as long as the Golden Sword Sect can do it, we will not refuse!" Feng Ziluo said seriously.
"You two are too polite. If your two families had not paid a heavy price to kill Hua Chi, and then fought to the death with Biyun Sect and Hou Family, how could Xiao Qing and I have the qualifications to get our hands on Hua Chi!" Qin Ziling hurriedly bowed and said humbly.
Cui Shan and Feng Ziluo felt much better after hearing Qin Ziling's words.
In fact, this is what they think in their hearts.
But it is also a reality that Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing arrived in time and saved their lives.
Moreover, the strength displayed by Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing is indeed not inferior to that of a great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining.
So, even though they knew that Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing had gotten a great bargain, they had to accept this reality.
Of course, accepting it is one thing, but feeling quite depressed and helpless is another.
Qin Ziling's words really touched their hearts, and made them look at Qin Ziling in a much more friendly manner.
What an understanding person!
Xiao Qing stood on the sidelines and watched Qin Ziling's "performance". She really wanted to glare at Qin Ziling , but she could only endure it.
How shameless!
One person has collected four Hua Chi, but he still says he is not qualified to touch Hua Chi?
If you are not qualified, who is?
"Brother Qin, you are too modest. Although you are a little behind Miss Xiao Qing in terms of realm, but in terms of real strength, you are already close to Shen Yan and Hou Hu. How could you not be qualified..." Cui Heshan said.
"We know our own business. Patriarch Cui, please don't flatter me and Xiao Qing. To put it bluntly, Xiao Qing and I are the ones who benefited this time. The real heroes are you. We are not worthy of our share!
How about this, the Hua Chi should be divided into three parts, Xiao Qing and I get one part, and each of your two families gets one part!" Qin Ziling said with a serious face.
Although Xiao Qing had expected this, she still felt ashamed when she saw Qin Ziling's righteous expression.
This big brother!
Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo had no idea that Qin Ziling had already harvested four Huachi. When they saw that he actually took the initiative to propose to divide the Huachi into three parts, they couldn't help but tremble all over, their eyes almost popped out, and they looked at Qin Ziling in disbelief.
Then, the disbelief in their eyes gradually turned into awe.
"Okay! I'm grateful for your kindness. I accept you as my brother!" Cui Shanhe said solemnly.
"Me too!" Feng Ziluo added, his voice still cold, but his eyes as firm as the sword in his hand!
Xiao Qing looked at this scene and the corners of his mouth twitched several times.
Xiao Qing's expression naturally had a different meaning in the eyes of Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo.
This also made them feel that Qin Ziling was a man who was upright and open-minded, and was not comparable to a little woman.
Qin Ziling bowed to the two of them, without saying anything to show his humility , and said straightforwardly, "Then let's divide the Hua Chi now!"
Qin Ziling is also a man who cares about his reputation!
He is too embarrassed to continue acting!
"Okay!" Cui Shanhe and Feng Ziluo's eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded decisively.
Then, Feng Ziluo took out his flying sword.
Feng Ziluo's flying sword is called the Golden Rhino Sword, which is made from the horn of the exotic beast the golden rhino. It is not only extremely sharp and hard, but also quite spiritual. It is one of the Golden Sword Sect's magical treasures.
Feng Ziluo activated the Golden Rhino Sword, and golden sword light fell.
Hua Chi was divided into three sections.
Then, Feng Ziluo and Cui Shan each took out a black bag.
The material of this black bag is like a plastic bag from another world, very light and thin, but many times more flexible than the plastic bag on the island. I don’t know what material it is made of.
The two of them each put the Hua Chi into a bag, tied the bag, and actually completely concealed the Hua Chi's aura.
"Brother Qin and Miss Xiao, didn't you bring the beast-hiding bag?" Feng Ziluo said as he took out a black bag from his arms and handed it to Qin Ziling.
"Thank you!" Qin Ziling took the beast bag, and then collected his share of the Huachi. However, he was secretly puzzled. After all, the Golden Sword Sect was once one of the major Qi-refining sects in Xiyunzhou. How come Feng Ziluo, as the sect leader, didn't even carry a magic storage weapon with him?
However, Qin Ziling has just demonstrated the strength of a late-stage Qi Refiner. It is not appropriate to let Feng Ziluo know that he is actually a newcomer in the Qi Refining world and does not understand many common sense things.
So this question remained in my mind and I didn't ask it.
But there is one thing Qin Ziling is very sure of, space magic weapons are extremely precious in the Qi Refining World.
Because the Qi-refining masters like Shen Yan of the Biyun Sect did not have any space magic weapons, it was most likely that Gong Yangmu had a fortuitous encounter and was lucky enough to get a storage ring.
After each of them received the Hua Chi, Feng Ziluo and Cui Shanhe thought about how magnanimous Qin Ziling was. After all, they were the clan leaders and family heads, so they couldn't appear stingy. They had to put all kinds of elixirs that they had looted from Shen Yan and others into a bag and stuff it into Qin Ziling's pocket.
Qin Ziling "declined" several times, but had no choice but to accept it, which made Xiao Qing's eyes twitch.
After that, everyone waited patiently in the cave.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
The entire dragon vein world was suddenly in turmoil.
In the cave, ripples appeared in the space around everyone.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly huddled together and held hands.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing held hands and kept a certain distance from Cui Shanhe and others.
The ripples grew bigger and bigger, and then everyone felt that the space around them was like an illusory bubble that was punctured.
A slight voice sounded in everyone's ears, and then everyone felt a darkness in front of their eyes, and the whole person seemed to float up.
