Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 11 Who is sighing?
Among the trees, Gu Xiaoxing held a big axe in his hand, stepped on a pile of dust, and uttered a wailing cry.
"Don't chase me, let's talk it over nicely! I'm just a small outer disciple, this has nothing to do with me!"
Four figures were approaching from behind, and Gu Xiaoxing's words had no effect at all. Suddenly, there was a whistling sound. Gu Xiaoxing turned his head and his scalp went numb. A long sword was flying straight at him. He dodged quickly, but was hit by the sword edge when he was caught off guard. A bloody cut was made on his arm. In severe pain, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, rolling several times.
At this moment, it was clear how strong Gu Xiaoxing's desire to survive was. He immediately climbed up, not caring about his bleeding arm, and threw his storage bag out without any hesitation. He ran away and shouted, "I have money! There are 400 spirit stones in it. I will give you all my belongings. Just take them and divide them up!"
Sure enough, when they heard the number of four hundred spirit stones, the four figures paused at the same time. Two of them had greed in their eyes, and they seemed to turn to grab the storage bag, but were stopped by a shout.
One of them said, "Don't forget where this is! If something unexpected happens and it delays important matters, even a hundred lives of yours and mine won't be enough. Let's kill this beast first. The elders are waiting outside !"
When they heard the word "elder", their hearts trembled at the same time, fear flashed in their eyes, and they had no other thoughts.
Feeling the four figures approaching from behind again, Gu Xiaoxing became angry!
"You don't even pick up the money?"
Another sword flew over, and Gu Xiaoxing barely dodged it, but he couldn't escape anymore. His retreat was blocked, so he could only hold the axe tightly with both hands, holding it in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "My... my uncle is the sect's great elder, Master Bai. If you dare to touch me, he will come looking for you and will not let you go! Leave a way for everyone to survive, and we will pretend that we have never seen each other!"
"Master Bai... then I cannot let you live!"
The four men kept getting closer. They had already seen that this person's cultivation was not very high. Neither side could use their cultivation under the Spirit Transformation Formation. With their physical bodies, they were not to be feared.
The man with the knife licked the blood at the corner of his mouth. He was just injured by Du Siyu and was holding a grudge in his chest. He wanted to vent his anger on Gu Xiaoxing. His expression turned ferocious and he swung his knife to chop off the other man's head.
But at this moment, the eyes of Gu Xiaoxing, who was originally extremely frightened, suddenly flashed with infinite ferocity, as if he was a ferocious beast that was forced into a corner with no way to retreat and chose to fight to the death.
"You forced me to do this!"
Gu Xiaoxing shouted loudly, holding the axe with both hands, raised his shoulder to block the knife, and then chopped it down fiercely with the axe.
"Not good! Junior Brother Leng, retreat quickly!"
No one expected that a trembling person would suddenly stand up with such amazing momentum.
Junior Brother Leng was not panicked. This man looked to be at the third or fourth level of Qi Condensation at most. Without that level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to block the sword with his physical body.
However, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined. The blade cut through the flesh, but when it touched the bone, it could no longer move forward even a little bit. This immediately made him widen his eyes and murmur in disbelief.
"Physical training?"
The next moment, Junior Brother Leng felt a chill on his neck, the world was spinning, and all he saw was his headless body. The whole world then plunged into gray.
“Junior Brother Leng…!”
Junior Brother Leng, dead!
Gu Xiaoxing was also stunned. He did not expect that he could chop off the opponent's head so easily. Although his shoulder was in extreme pain at the moment, a hope of life surged in his eyes!
It seems... the opponent's neck is not harder than those firewoods?
It seems... I'm not that weak?
"you wanna die!"
Among the remaining three, one reacted quickly, with anger in his eyes, and he swung his sword to avenge his junior brother.
But Gu Xiaoxing's reaction was not slow either. He dodged sideways and raised his axe to chop another person without any hesitation or psychological burden. He was a lively person to begin with, and he was not the one shouting for war and killing. Who would want to die when he could live?
The axe had been chopped thousands of times before. Although he was chopping wood, the axe was as easy to use as an arm in Gu Xiaoxing's hand. The axe fell like lightning, extremely fast.
The man was startled and his sword was dodged. He could have succeeded by changing the path of his sword, but the axe was already approaching. Junior Brother Leng was a lesson for him, so he didn't dare to take the risk and could only raise his sword to block. When the axe blades collided, his arm shook and he took several steps back before he could steady himself.
Gu Xiaoxing secretly thought it was a pity.
"I didn't expect that this person's cultivation was not high, but he was actually a physical cultivator. Let's go together and avenge Junior Brother Leng!"
As soon as the voice fell, the three of them rushed towards Gu Xiaoxing in unison, forming a three-sided siege.
The so-called body cultivation refers to those who have practiced the techniques or secrets of body refining. Their physical strength will be far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. It is rare because no matter whether it is a technique or a secret, as long as it is related to body refining, it will be extremely difficult to practice and the process will be extremely painful.
Therefore, most cultivators would choose to spend their time improving their cultivation, so that their bodies would naturally improve with their cultivation, and few would choose to practice body-refining techniques. Of course, they could also use external objects to strengthen their bodies, like Gu Xiaoxing did. With the nourishment of those spirit fish, even though he was only at the third level of Qi Condensation, his physical body was no weaker than those at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
Gu Xiaoxing knew the reason and also knew that he could not escape. He was going to fight desperately, just like when he left the village to look for the immortal. It was just that this time it was more tragic. But in the end... he saw hope!
The Spirit Transformation Array is hope!
"come!"
Gu Xiaoxing roared angrily, and instead of retreating, he advanced with big strides forward and swung an axe at the person in front of him.
The man seemed to be frightened by Gu Xiaoxing's momentum and did not dare to take it head-on. He stopped and dodged sideways. He turned his body and slashed at the opponent's neck with his sword.
But Gu Xiaoxing was even more ruthless. He raised his hand and grabbed the sword. Even though his palm was torn, bleeding, and the excruciating pain made him want to tear his hair out, he still held the sword tightly in his hand. With his other hand, he tightly grasped the axe, twisted his wrist, and the axe moved from bottom to top as if to split a mountain.
The man was horrified when his sword was grabbed. He obviously did not expect the other party to be so ruthless and decisive. If he chose to let go of the sword immediately, he could also avoid Gu Xiaoxing's axe. However, he still pulled with all his strength, trying to pull the sword out.
Gu Xiaoxing had already started to fight desperately, so how could he let him pull out the sword easily? As a result, when he wanted to let go, he was already half a beat too late. He felt a pain in his abdomen and was chopped away by the axe, dying on the spot.
Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Xiaoxing felt a tearing pain on his back. He was hit by the sword of the remaining two men respectively. He quickly turned around and swung his axe, forcing the two men back. Then he swung his hand, and the sword fell to the ground, and his hand was already covered in blood.
Gu Xiaoxing panted heavily and looked directly at the two of them, with ferocious bloodshot eyes and a desperate determination to survive.
Afraid?
Of course, I was extremely scared!
But what if this fear exceeds that limit?
It will turn into madness.
"come!"
Gu Xiaoxing shouted again, his voice revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
The two looked at each other, both with fear, but soon calmed down. They were not easy to deal with, and had seen many bloody incidents. Besides...
"If we can't take him down, we'll die if we go back. Let's fight!"
Soon, the three of them started fighting again. The other two were obviously much more cautious in their attacks, but the more they fought, the more frustrated they felt. The opponent's movements obviously had no rules to speak of, but they often attacked with the intention of exchanging injury for death, and were extremely ruthless, especially the big axe, which he swung in his hand so smoothly. Even though the two had been careful on guard, they still suffered a few blows when the opponent fought desperately. Although they were not fatal, it was really uncomfortable.
In a short period of time, both sides were seriously injured, especially Gu Xiaoxing, who had no less than twenty bloody wounds all over his body. At this moment, he looked like a bloody man standing there. Although he tried his best to avoid those fatal attacks, he was inexperienced in fighting. If it weren't for his strategy of exchanging injury for death, he would have been beheaded by the sword long ago.
As for the two men, they were not much better off. Even though they did not have so many wounds on their bodies, they were all seriously injured by the blow of the axe. The two men were already extremely frustrated. If they could use their cultivation, it would be easy for them to kill this man!
But under the spirit formation, one can only fight with the physical body!
The hands of the two men holding swords had begun to tremble, and fear appeared in their eyes again, more intense than before. If they dared to fight as hard as Gu Xiaoxing did, the best they could do would be a one-for-one exchange, but they were also afraid of death!
"He is already at the end of his strength. If you hold him back, I don't believe that his blood will not stop flowing!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing was angry, but he also felt helpless. He was indeed at the end of his strength. His whole body was in pain. Even if he moved a little, he would have to endure the tearing pain. If the opponent just held him back without fighting, there was really nothing he could do.
Gu Xiaoxing was gasping heavily, the axe was still tightly held in his hand, blood was still flowing from his body, and at this moment, he was only supported by his strong desire to survive and not fall down.
He didn't want to die, but now, hope was becoming increasingly slim and he could no longer see it.
"Am I really going to die here?"
"Why……"
In a trance, there was a sigh, but this sigh did not come from Gu Xiaoxing, but it actually appeared in his mind, and he was immediately shocked.
Who is sighing!?
