"Fortunately, it's not too late." Zhou Qingmu said breathlessly.

Zhou Qingmu almost ran all the way up the mountain, but he arrived here from the other side of the medicine garden. Seeing the person in front of him fall to the ground, Zhou Qingmu never thought that the palm technique he had just learned could be so powerful.

However, this palm almost depleted most of Zhou Qingmu's true energy. At this time, he was almost unable to fight anymore in an environment where it was so difficult to recover his true energy.

Li Jian suddenly turned around and saw that the man in red who was chasing him had fallen to the ground. He looked at Zhou Qingmu behind him who was staring at his left hand, so he clasped his fists at the young man and thanked him: "Thank you, young hero, for saving me! Li is grateful.

Endless!"

Zhou Qingmu did not dare to be arrogant after hearing this, and decisively replied with clasped fists: "A gentleman once taught me that as monks, as long as we are sure that the opponent is evil, we must swing out our fists without hesitation. Regardless of whether we can fight or not.

You can win, but you must spare no effort to do it. So Uncle Li does not need to thank you too much, this is what the younger generation should do."

Li Chu didn't know whether he was shocked that Zhou Qingmu could say such words with a sincere face when he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, or he was ashamed that he was saved by a young man but didn't know how to repay him, so he hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Qian Shaowei naturally saw the grace of Zhou Qingmu's palm, and his heart was extremely complicated and shocked. He pointed tremblingly at the man in red who fell to the ground in front of him and said, "He... is dead?"

After Zhou Qingmu heard this, he was actually not sure that killing people was not his original intention. The reason why he took action without hesitation was just to save people.

So Zhou Qingmu calmed down his turbulent Qi a little, squatted down and stretched out his hand to tug at the corner of the man in red. Seeing that the man in red didn't move, he turned the man in red's body over with force.

But just as the man in red turned over, the hand holding the knife suddenly moved. The knife was caught off guard and almost struck Zhou Qingmu's chest straight.

Zhou Qingmu did not expect that the man in red could swing another sword, and he almost had no time to dodge. Just when the sword was about to cut through Zhou Qingmu's body, a golden light in Zhou Qingmu's arms actually shook the sword back.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Qingmu stood up, jumped back and distanced himself from the man in red.

The man in red stood up from the ground with difficulty at this time, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered slightly embarrassedly: "That palm just now was indeed extraordinary. I thought I would definitely die here today, so I had to

Pretending to be dead. I never thought that he was just a young boy in the Qi training realm. This mountain has a great spirit-guiding formation set up by my Lord. You will probably never be able to use the magical power like that just now.

Come on!"

Zhou Qingmu smiled reluctantly, nodded and said: "There is indeed something weird about this place, and I really can't use that move again. However, you were seriously injured by my palm just now, how long can you last?"

Zhou Qingmu changed the subject and revealed the current situation of the man in red.

Before the man in red could continue to speak, Zhou Qingmu turned to Qian Shaowei and Li Jian and said, "Qian Shaowei, Uncle Li. You go with the others quickly. This person is very strong. I am here to support him."

Qian Shaowei, who had already stood up and stood with Li Chu, seemed shocked by the choice made by the young man who was pushed off the cliff by him, and said: "You...why..."

Zhou Qingmu suddenly turned his head and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"

Li Chu, who stood up and moved forward, turned around and said: "Young hero, you must hold on, I will find someone to rescue you as soon as I get back!"

Qian Shaowei stopped talking nonsense and walked out together with Li Chuan.

Unexpectedly, the man in red said coldly: "Today, none of you can leave."

After saying that, a red light gathered in the hands of the man in red and poured into the sky.

"I have sent a signal, my lord, they will be here soon. Today, you will all die." The man in red did not stop the two from escaping, but looked at Zhou Qingmu and sneered.

Zhou Qingmu breathed out a heavy breath. He had not found the sword, and now most of his energy had been consumed. It was now a very dangerous situation.

At this time, Qian Shaowei, who was fleeing, suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhou Qingmu, who was confronting the man in red, threw a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and shouted: "This is the Spirit Gathering Pill, it can help you regain your true self."

Angry. Although I don’t know who you are and where you come from, don’t die here.”

After that, Qian Shaowei left without looking back. Seeing this, Zhou Qingmu immediately reached out to pick up the small porcelain vase, but the man in red obviously would not give him this chance, and waved his knife in his hand to block the small porcelain vase.

Just when the man in red turned to look at the small porcelain bottle and waved his sword to block it, Zhou Qingmu retracted his hand and pointed it at the sword. In his mind, he recalled the moves in Li Qiubai's sword manual, as well as the basic sword moves.

The sentence after the gesture is, "Those who practice swordsmanship have their hearts like swords, and everything in the world is also the sword in their hands."

At this moment, everything around Zhou Qingmu became still and dissipated, and it seemed that there were only two people in the world, himself and the man in red in front of him.

Suddenly, Zhou Qingmu mobilized all the remaining energy and shot out two fingers in his hand, like invisible sword intent, slashing at the arm of the man in red holding the sword.

The moment he slashed out this sword energy, a figure in green clothes and white hair seemed to appear behind Zhou Qingmu.

The sword energy slashed straight out, and the man in red's arm holding the sword suddenly fell down.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Qingmu stepped forward and reached for the small porcelain bottle that was about to fall to the ground.

And all this happened in just an instant, and the man in red didn't even know how his arm was chopped off.

When the man in red looked at his arm that had fallen to the ground and was in a daze, Zhou Qingmu quickly opened the cork of the small porcelain bottle and poured out the elixir, including three spirit-gathering elixirs. Zhou Qingmu felt for a moment what it contained.

Aura, swallow it into your belly.

As soon as the Spirit-Gathering Pill entered Zhou Qingmu's mouth, it turned into a warm current and poured into Zhou Qingmu's Dantian. Almost one pill restored most of Zhou Qingmu's infuriating energy, so that after eating three pills at the same time, Zhou Qingmu's infuriating energy was faintly filled with water.

The tendency is to overflow.

Zhou Qingmu had no time to pay attention to this. He just activated the Taiqing Concentration Manual to control it a little, then turned to look at the almost dull man in red behind him.

"Are you a bandit here?" Zhou Qingmu asked.

The man in red used his remaining hand to take out the knife from the broken arm on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Bandit? If it's not for the sake of the Lord... that's all, this has nothing to do with you. I'm high-spirited

You have surpassed your whole realm, but you cut off an arm after being seriously injured. Now you are just lingering. You have recovered your true energy. I am not your opponent, but before I die, I will kill you with all my strength! The lower level magical power,

Cut off your life with a broken sword!"

After saying that, the sharp knife in the hand of the man in red condensed a burst of blood. But at the same time, the man in red spit out another mouthful of blood, and his hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Supernatural powers! The man in red in front of me actually also has magical powers. In the world, there are three types of magical powers, from weakest to strongest: techniques, spells, magical powers, and among them there are upper, middle and lower ranks.

Zhou Qingmu's Yuan Destroying Palm aside, the man in red in front of him is indeed using a lower-level magical power. It's just that the man in red doesn't seem to be in a good condition to use it, and using it at this time seems to be a life-burning technique.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingmu did not dare to slack off. He held it slightly with his left hand, circulated the Taiqing Condensation Sutra to absorb the righteous energy of the sun, mobilized his own true energy, and suddenly struck out with a palm.

At this moment, the man in red had already slashed out with his sword. The blood-red sword energy collided with the strong palm. Zhou Qingmu was directly shaken by the aftermath of the collision and retreated continuously, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

After the aftermath had dissipated, only a withered skeleton was left in front of Zhou Qingmu. This powerful sword burned out the life of the man in red. This was nothing more than killing Zhou Qingmu without leaving any room.

Zhou Qingmu looked at the broken arm and bones standing resolutely wielding a knife in the yellow sand in front of him, and his heart felt a little ups and downs.

Perhaps this world is so unbearable. There may be countless involuntary sins hidden behind someone wielding a knife to kill someone, and there may be countless karmic sins hidden behind someone drawing a knife to help when there is injustice.

Zhou Qingmu gently placed the severed arm of the man in red that he had cut off before and placed it next to the withered body. He looked at the medicinal garden worth thousands of dollars and picked up the knife in the man's hand and put it on his fingertips.

It was scratched, and a drop of blood quietly dripped into the medicine garden.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth spread quietly from the medicine garden to the Demon-Destroyed Mountain. In this mountain forest, there was only a withered skeleton wearing a white mask and a red robe, and the young man's departing back.

...

Not long after Zhou Qingmu left, another man in red quietly appeared in the medicine garden, but now this one was wearing a black mask. Behind him, there was a feminine man in black robe with no trace of blood on his face.

A man dressed as a digital bandit.

The man in red first explored the medicine garden, then flew to the withered bones in red robes, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, Zuo Shi has no breath at all. He must have burned out his life in a battle with others."

The man in black robe always had a calm expression on his face, waving his hands and saying: "I understand, come and take back the bones of the left envoy. The man who killed the left envoy should not have been gone for long, right envoy, take this with you."

Go and capture him. If you really can't deal with that person, remember to save your life."

After saying that, the man in black robe raised his hand and condensed a bloody elixir. He threw the elixir to the right envoy in red and dismissed the men beside him.

After taking the elixir, the right envoy in red caressed the mask of the severed arm and bones, and then let his men take the bones away. Then he still said in a hoarse voice: "I obey the Lord's order, and I will definitely serve as the left envoy."

revenge."

After saying that, he got up and led others to chase Zhou Qingmu who was leaving.

After everyone left, the man in black robe looked at the medicine garden around him, condensed a rune in his hand, and whispered the word "Go". The bloody rune actually flew out of the man in black robe and fell quietly.

In the center of the medicine garden.

The spirit-guiding array that was destroyed by Zhou Qingmu began to operate again, but this time the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much slower.

After the man in black robe finished, he walked slowly to the large elixir in the medicine garden where Lao Mo's head had been dragged. The man in black robe gently touched the branches and leaves of the bloody elixir and looked at the fruits of the bloody elixir.

, murmured: "Soon, soon."
