A strong pressure locked Ling Xiao in half a breath. At this moment, Ling Xiao seemed to be pressed down by Wan Jun. The body that had just stood up fell to the ground again, and was tightly restrained, unable to get up.
He couldn't even move his fingers. He was struggling so hard that it was extremely difficult for Ling Xiao to breathe.
"How could you be so weak, little brat! You haven't even reached the First Realm state at this time."
The hoarse voice was filled with anger, and a huge amount of mental power turned into a plume of black smoke, directly attacking Ling Xiao's body. Ling Xiao wanted to resist, but at this time he actually lost control of his body.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sound at all.
Translucent black smoke slowly wandered through his body, starting from his profound veins, floating through his body's meridians, bones, and every drop of blood.
In twenty breaths, Ling Xiao's entire body was completely covered by the black smoke.
"I see, that's it...it seems like you have a good chance. After reshaping, your bones are also excellent."
The words of vicissitudes of life reached the ears of Ling Xiao, whose consciousness had not yet dissipated. In the hazy moment, Ling Xiao was shocked. This person... actually knew about the reshaping of his spiritual veins. This proved that he knew about his sea of consciousness.
!
"Kid, you can wake up. I'm very satisfied..."
The low words flashed past, and Ling Xiao's consciousness was directly forced out by a wave-like force.
Feeling that he had regained control of his body, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little scared. The voice in his consciousness could easily control him with just his thoughts, and he could even drag himself out of the sea of his consciousness.
.
"What the hell is that damn old man..." Ling Xiao complained.
"Haha, it's not a good idea to talk about an old senior like this..."
The familiar voice came again. Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly widened and he looked around in panic. The fear that had just been forcibly suppressed by the soul power had not dissipated yet.
That frightening voice sounded in my mind again, but there was no one around me.
"who are you?!"
Ling Xiao roared and asked questions in his heart, and a thick black mist appeared in his sea of consciousness.
The black mist shrouded and condensed, and then turned into an old man before Ling Xiao's eyes.
The old man's body was illusory, his face could not be seen clearly, and his whole body was wrapped in a black mist. Only a pair of turbid eyes could be seen in the darkness.
"Kid, don't ask others so directly. You just need to know that I will guide you in your practice in the future." The old man said leisurely.
"Guide me? Just you? Tsk..." Ling Xiao's face was full of disdain.
"You little brat, you are quite arrogant."
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and sneered. No matter what the reason was, he first dragged himself into his spiritual consciousness, and then used his soul power to explore his whole body. For this old man who appeared inexplicably, Ling Xiao didn't have any trace of it.
Good impression.
"Little devil, your talent and even spirit are excellent, but you have never practiced any martial arts. Even after reaching the original state, what will you do when you need to practice martial arts? I remember this Silver Ring
It seems that there are only martial arts but no martial arts, right?"
The old voice had a hint of cunning.
Ling Xiao curled his lips. The old man's words clearly touched the scruples in his heart. This was also the thing that worried him the most about his next step in cultivation.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was silent, the old man turned into a wisp of black smoke and slowly floated out from Ling Xiao's consciousness, gradually transformed into a human form and appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
Only now did Ling Xiao see his appearance clearly. He had black hair and a black beard, a thin face, and a pair of cloudy eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. His straight body exuded Lingwei, and his lower body was filled with black mist floating in the air.
Half empty.
"Little devil... my name is Xie Shizi. I am hiding in the scroll, waiting for someone with sufficient qualifications to appear. As for my origin, I won't tell you for the time being, so as not to distract you. You are very lucky to meet me." The old man took the lead.
Open your mouth to break the silence.
"Lucky? I can't tell."
Ling Xiao glanced at him rather boredly. He now had no interest in the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Hearing this, Xie Shizi frowned slightly, waved his fingertips, and a touch of divine aura leaped into Ling Xiao's consciousness. Xuan Que escaped directly from Ling Xiao's control and slowly floated above Xie Shizi's fingertips.
"you……"
Ling Xiao was shocked. In the interior scene, he had stated that he knew Xuan Que, but he didn't expect that he could actually let Xuan Que escape from his control!
Xie Shizi chuckled, and held Xuan Que in front of him. With just the long sword in his hand, Ling Xiao could sense that Xie Shizi had become one with the surrounding environment.
For a time, countless fluctuations occurred all over Xie Shizi's body.
Out in an instant!
The evil dead son danced the Xuan Que with himself as the center, and stabbed several swords forward continuously. The swung Xuan Que turned into hundreds of afterimages, and in an instant condensed into hundreds of sword energy.
But the changes in the sword style are not over yet. The shadow of the sword is extremely dazzling under the scorching sun. The speed of the Xuan Que wielded by the Evil Dead Son is still accelerating. The hundreds of sword shadows have differentiated again, step by step like ocean waves, endlessly.
In an instant, the sword light spread out all over the sky with Xie Shizi as the center. Ling Xiao could no longer see clearly the movements of Xie Shizi's hands. He could only see the increasing number of sword shadows and countless sharp sword energies.
As Xuan Que swung down, countless sword lights scattered from top to bottom on the surrounding ground, stirring up dust all over the sky.
By the time Ling Xiao reacted, the smoke and dust had dissipated, and the originally flat forest land was completely devastated, with countless sword marks nearly a foot deep into the ground.
Ling Xiao was shocked. This terrifying sword move actually produced a thousand sword shadows in just three breaths. Such power was far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
"Hey, how about it? Do you want to learn?" Xie Shizi raised his eyebrows and asked slowly.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao did not respond, still standing there blankly, and then kept swallowing his saliva.
"Learn! Of course you have to learn!"
Ling Xiao kept nodding his head, his eyes filled with excitement and even a little flattery.
"Hmph, I still like your unruly look at the beginning."
The evil dead son turned away with a sneer on his face.
"Hey, one family doesn't speak the same language as the other. I'm a junior. I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, and I have eyes that don't recognize the true face of an expert. How can I be a little brat and how can I be arrogant? It's okay. Don't talk to me.
I am generally familiar with it."
Ling Xiao's flattering expression made Xie Shizi look sideways.
This guy……
"Hey, master, master, how about I give you a kowtow?"
After saying that, Ling Xiao was about to kneel down, but was stopped by a wisp of black mist from the evil dead son. Immediately, the evil dead son gently touched his forehead and kept shaking his head.
"This is a virtue after all... Anyway, since you join my disciple, you have to agree to three conditions. I... don't just accept disciples at will." Xie Shizi said slowly.
"You say it, you say it." Ling Xiao nodded repeatedly.
"First, you must reach King's Landing within twenty years!" The Evil Dead Son said leisurely.
"King's Landing?!"
Ling Xiao took a few steps back and looked at the Evil Dead Son with shock in his eyes.
The King's Landing Realm is the pinnacle state of this world and the limit of what a person can practice. Not to mention the entire Huang Yuancheng, even looking at the entire Tiancang Empire, there are very few people who have cultivated to the King's Landing Realm.
Not to mention, I only have twenty years.
"Can you, can you make a normal request?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Xie Shizi.
"Huh? Why, does this seem difficult?" Xie Shizi said with a faint smile.
"Tsk, it's not that it's difficult, it's simply impossible, but... I can give it a try. Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it won't happen after."
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then agreed directly. He still had twenty years and everything was unknown. Besides, there was no harm in agreeing first.
"Okay, very good. I can see that you still have some courage. The second condition is that you need to practice the techniques I gave you after you reach the First True Realm. Otherwise, there is no need to talk!" Xie Shizi said sternly.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at Xie Shizi with a strange expression on his face.
"I won't be happy if you give me low-level skills."
"Haha... don't worry, it's definitely a high level, but it's a bit difficult." Evil Dead Son said leisurely.
"Okay, this doesn't matter, what about the others?" Ling Xiao agreed wholeheartedly. Anyway, he had no skills to practice now, and he was still far away from the First True Realm, so there was no need to panic.
"The last one... I want you to help me kill someone!"
The tone of his voice suddenly changed, and Xie Shizi's turbid eyes suddenly became sharp. The murderous intent and ferocious aura made Ling Xiao tremble.
"Uh, Master, who are you going to kill?" Ling Xiao asked slowly.
"Yue Xu Zi... a person who deserves to die!"
Xie Shizi drank every word of hatred. Although Ling Xiao was curious, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Okay, since he deserves to die so much, I agree to this request." Ling Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said slowly.
Hearing this, Xie Shizi realized his gaffe, hurriedly restrained his anger, and nodded leisurely.
"Since you have agreed to the three conditions, then... perform the apprenticeship ceremony immediately. From today on, I will be your master." Xie Shizi said.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao did not hesitate and fell to his knees with a thump, then kowtowed deeply.
Afterwards, Xie Shizi touched it lightly with his fingertips, transformed into a cup of hot tea, and placed it in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao understood clearly, leaned over to take it, and then slowly brought it to Xie Shizi.
"Master, please use tea!"
"Yeah~"
Taking the tea cup, Xie Shizi took a sip and signaled Ling Xiao to get up, and the ceremony was completed.
Ling Xiao's face was full of joy, he patted the dust off his body and stood up leisurely. Before Ling Xiao could say anything, Xie Shizi's fingertips suddenly touched Ling Xiao's eyebrows.
A flash of spiritual power surged in, and Ling Xiao's eyes widened. After a moment, Ling Xiao's chest rose and fell violently, constantly recalling the information that the evil dead son had just transmitted to his spiritual consciousness.
"This..." For a moment, Ling Xiao was so shocked that he could not speak.
"This is the Fantasy Sword Technique, a sixth-level martial skill. It is also the most suitable for your practice now. The key points of practice and sword postures are in your consciousness. The one I just performed was the first posture. It is a good practice. After three days,
I'll check."
After the evil dead son said that, he turned into a ball of black smoke and floated into Ling Xiao's body. Before Ling Xiao could react, in the sea of consciousness, the sky of consciousness that was originally a daytime sky condensed at this moment.
A huge black crystal.
The black crystal is irregular in shape, completely black, but has sharp edges and corners, and the Evil Dead Son is sneaking into it safely.
"hiss……"
For a moment, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say.
"This old man is capable, but why is he still making a home in my consciousness?" Ling Xiao complained.
"What did you say?!"
The old voice sounded in his consciousness, and Ling Xiao subconsciously covered his mouth.
"Kid, watch your words!"
"Okay, I understand the master, and the disciple understands his mistake."
Ling Xiao responded perfunctorily, and then cursed the evil dead son countless times in his heart, but did not make a sound.
"I can't even think about it!"
For a moment, Ling Xiao was stunned, you old man, don't go too far!!!
How come he even knows what he is thinking!
"Hey, it seems that there will be no secrets from now on." Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
