As an old monster who has lived for more than three hundred years, Ling Xiao had no idea what the old man was thinking, but he didn't know it. He already had a plan in mind.
The old man's strength was equal to his at the sixth level of the pulse condensation stage, while the old woman was at the fifth level of the pulse condensation stage. He was absolutely sure to kill them both.
However, the sky has not completely darkened yet, and there are still many casual warriors eating, drinking, and resting in the teahouse. Wouldn't it be a mistake to expose their identities if they start now?
As for the "forces behind the scenes" in his mouth, they are naturally made up. His proud and noble temperament is not fake. After all, he was a strong man in the Tianyuan realm in his previous life, and the aura he exudes can seriously injure an Earth Yuan realm warrior.
, ordinary people even worshiped him when they saw him.
Although he had to practice all over again after his rebirth, the arrogance of being a strong man in the Tianyuan realm was deeply rooted in his bones. His aura was of little use to him now. At most, it could deceive and intimidate the old man.
Two hours passed unknowingly.
The sky had already darkened, and the moon and stars were all hiding. The dark sky made the whole world seem to fall into a dark abyss, making people feel extremely depressed.
Most of the warriors in the tavern had already left. Except for a few unconscious drunks, only the old man and his wife were left.
Ling Xiao did not leave, and the old man and his wife remained silent. Their eyes flashed alert looks from time to time, as if they were communicating.
The old man was afraid that Ling Xiao was protected by an expert, so he did not dare to take action rashly. He reminded him: "Sir, it's so late and our teahouse is about to close."
"Is it closing?" Ling Xiao picked up the wine glass, drank a glass of wine, stood up slowly, and said calmly: "Yes, it's time to close at this late hour, and I won't open it again in the future."
As the words fall, the ghost steps move, and the body is like a ghost, drifting erratically, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
The old man was on guard the moment Ling Xiao made his move. A pair of iron hooks slipped out of his sleeves, and he grasped the iron hooks tightly with both hands and hooked forward fiercely.
"Old man, let me help you." When the old woman saw Ling Xiao take action, murderous intent surged in her eyes, and she rushed towards Ling Xiao with a sickle-shaped weapon.
"ding ding"
Ling Xiao moved the Ice-Shattering Jade Fist, and his hands condensed a layer of jade crystals, exuding a dark green brilliance, which was really beautiful. They collided with the old man's iron hook, making a clear sound of gold and iron striking.
"What an amazing martial arts skill." The old man paused, and the cold energy was transmitted into his body along the iron hook, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, extremely cold. He immediately used his vitality to dispel the chill.
There was a strong wind in Ling Xiao's ears, and without even thinking about moving the ghost step, his body appeared a few meters away, and a large pale sickle struck down from where he was before.
Ling Xiao pulled out the crape myrtle soft sword from his waist. His figure kept changing, making people elusive. He came to the old woman in the blink of an eye, and said with murderous intent: "Old woman, if you hadn't plotted against me before, you wouldn't have done it."
There is now retribution.”
The Piao Ling sword technique was launched, and the sword light suddenly rose, which was extremely cold, and the tricky sword shadows sealed all the vital points of the old woman's body.
The old woman's strength was only at the fifth level of the Pulse Condensation Stage. She was no match for Ling Xiao. In the blink of an eye, she was stabbed with several holes by the long sword in his hand. Her flesh and blood were rolled out, and she was dripping with blood. She looked like she would not survive.
"Old woman." The old man reacted, with grief and anger in his eyes, and he rushed towards Ling Xiao with an iron hook to attack, but Ling Xiao avoided the old man's attack with his ghost steps.
The old man's strength was a little higher than Ling Xiao's, but Ling Xiao's ghost steps prevented him from getting close. It was like a punch on cotton, extremely uncomfortable.
The old man's strength was one point higher than Ling Xiao's, but he couldn't take any advantage. Ling Xiao didn't seem to be pestering him, so he immediately said loudly: "I'll give you a ride, your wife is still waiting for you down there.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in his hand cut straight towards the old man's throat. The vitality in his body surged, and the crape myrtle sword became extremely sharp under the stimulation of the vitality.
The old man's expression changed, and he held the iron hook tightly in front of his neck in an attempt to resist Ling Xiao's attack. He never expected that the crape myrtle soft sword used by Ling Xiao was a second-grade weapon, while the iron hook in his hand was only a first-grade weapon.
The middle-level weapon was cut into two pieces by the Ziwei soft sword with just one encounter.
The sword light flashed away, and the next moment his head fell from his neck, and the blood from his neck spurted out. As for Ling Xiao, he had already appeared a few meters away, looking calm and calm.
Ling Xiao sensed that the consumption of vitality in his Dantian was much less than when he was at the fifth level of the pulse condensation stage, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it hadn't been for the previous breakthrough to the sixth level of the pulse condensation stage, the amount of vitality had increased significantly.
I guess I might be killed by these two old guys."
The battle just now lasted less than half an hour. Ling Xiao, who was at the fifth level of the Pulse Condensation Stage, could deal with the two of them, but his vitality was insufficient. Sooner or later, he would be defeated and killed by the two of them.
Before Ling Xiao was reborn, he suffered from a weak foundation. During his post-rebirth cultivation, he paid great attention to the nourishment and expansion of his meridians. After all, the wider the meridians, the more vitality they can accommodate, and the longer their fighting power will be.
Even though it didn't take long for him to break through the sixth level of the pulse condensation stage, the amount of vitality in his body is comparable to that of a warrior at the middle stage of the sixth level of the pulse condensation stage.
Ling Xiao looked at the corpses of the old man and his wife without feeling anything. He had killed countless people in the three hundred years before his rebirth, and he clearly saw this world where the weak preyed on the strong.
This world relies on fists to speak, and whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak.
If you don't kill others, others will kill you. If you don't have the strength, just wait to be killed!
Ling Xiao turned around and walked out of the teahouse, blended into the dark night, and headed towards Black Rock City.
"Shopkeeper, please bring me some bowls of braised noodles. I'm starving." A drunkard woke up from hunger the next morning, shook his body and got up from the ground, shouting.
After a while, no one paid any attention to him, which made him suspicious. A shocking pool of dark red blood instantly woke him up. He followed the blood and saw two corpses lying at the door of the teahouse. It was the teahouse.
shopkeeper couple.
The drunkard was also a casual martial artist and was not surprised by the dead. However, except for the corpses of the shopkeeper and his wife, nothing on the ground was damaged. It was really incredible.
It was freezing behind him, and the chill made his skin crawl. He quickly woke up his companions who were lying on the ground. Several of them were also frightened and hurriedly left the teahouse.
Ling Xiao spent a night coming to the inn closest to Blackstone City in Blackstone Wasteland. He opened a guest room in the inn, took a hot bath, changed into a set of clean clothes, and began to meditate to absorb the free energy between heaven and earth.
Silks of vitality merged into his body, and finally gathered in the Dantian. From the Dantian, they passed through the six meridians to form a great circumference, and finally returned to the Dantian.
Cultivation is inherently boring. Ling Xiao repeatedly absorbs vitality to nourish his meridians and make them broad and tough. This process is quite energy-consuming. Only half of the vitality he absorbs can be stored in his Dantian, and the other half is used in
Improve physical fitness.
It was noon before he knew it. The feeling of hunger in his stomach made Ling Xiao stop practicing. He walked out of the room and went downstairs to get some food. At this time, several people walked in from the door and attracted his attention.
Lived.
Ling Xiao frowned, looked at the figure at the door and said, "Why is it them again?"
The group of people at the door turned out to be the three Zhang Lei and others they met at the teahouse yesterday, but they didn't know Ling Xiao.
Zhang Lei is an older generation strong man from the Zhang family, one of the four major families in Black Rock City. Although he has heard that the Ling family, ranked first among the four major families, recently had a dark horse, he has never met the real person Ling Xiao.
As for the other two people from the Black Fox Gang, they don't even know Ling Xiao.
"Boss, give us a first-class guest room." Zhang Lei walked to the inn counter and said.
The boss of the inn looked at Zhang Lei and the others and suggested kindly: "Objectively speaking, the superior room only has one bed, and there is not enough sleep for the three of you."
"Where did all this nonsense come from? Just shut up if I ask you to." Following Zhang Lei, one of the Black Fox Gang's disciples slapped his hand on the counter, revealing the black fox head in his hand.
"I didn't...I didn't expect...it was...the adults of the Black Fox Gang. I was too talkative just now. I will ask someone to take you to the superior room." The owner of the station recognized the Black Fox Gang at this time.
It was a sign that only the core characters had. His face turned frightened, and he stammered and called the waiter to lead Zhang Lei and the others upstairs.
Ling Xiao stared at the three figures and thought to himself: "The Zhang family is mixed up with the Black Fox Gang. There must be some ulterior secret among them."
Now that he has enmity with the Black Fox Gang, he will be wary of anything that has anything to do with the Black Fox Gang. What's more, Zhang Lei is the top executive of the Zhang family, one of the four major families in Black Rock City, so he has to pay attention to it.
Everyone knows that the four major families are fighting openly and secretly in Black Rock City. Even if they cooperate, they are cooperating with forces within Black Rock City. Almost no family dares to cooperate with forces outside Black Rock City.
There are many forces outside Blackstone City that are more powerful than the four major families. If the families in the city secretly collude with the forces outside the city to reach some kind of agreement, it will jeopardize the interests of many families in the city.
Even the four major families will be attacked by many family forces in Black Rock City, and the final result will be annihilation.
A notorious force like the Black Fox Gang has offended many forces. However, the Black Fox Gang has strong men from the Earth Realm sitting in its command. Most of the forces it offends are ordinary forces. The anger of the strong men from the Earth Realm is not something they can bear.
Affordable.
What Ling Xiao couldn't figure out was why the Zhang family risked becoming the target of public criticism in Black Rock City. This matter was so confusing that he couldn't figure it out.
Then he asked the waiter for some food and brought it to his room. After eating, he did not practice immediately and began to think about his future development direction.
What lingers in his memory are the scenes where his family was destroyed. All of this happened because of him. Now that he can be reborn and return to his youth, he cherishes it very much and wants to go against the will of heaven and change the future.
family tragedy.
The only way is to improve one's own strength, improve the strength of the family, and give the family the strength to fight against the mysterious forces. It is easier said than done, but as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The current Ling Xiao is only at the sixth level of the Pulse Condensation Stage, but what he and the entire Ling family will face in five years is a mysterious force with powerful people in the Earth Yuan Stage.
The strongest member of the Ling family is his biological grandfather Ling Potian. His strength is at the twelfth level of the Pulse Condensation Stage and he is an absolute strong man in Black Rock City. However, he is not enough to face a strong person in the Earth Yuan Realm. I'm afraid
A strong man in the Earth Realm can be wounded with a random blow.
Everything seemed to be weighing down by a huge mountain, and Ling Xiao couldn't breathe. He had to seize the time to practice hard.
Ling Xiao took a long breath, adjusted his mentality, and said firmly in his heart: "In five years, I will not only become a strong man in the Earth Yuan realm and prevent the Ling family from being exterminated, but also find the mysterious force before it happens."
force and defeat them."
"Bang"
"Lingsha?"
Just when Ling Xiao was about to continue practicing, there was a violent crash in the room next door, followed by an exclamation, and he vaguely heard the word "spiritual sand".
