Volume 1: A Sword Comes from the West Chapter 17: Life Hangs by a Thread
Li Xiuping's right hand pressed the hatchet on his waist, and without making any unnecessary moves, he allowed the monk named Chao to get closer and closer.
Just as Xu Bansheng was about to take action, Li Xiuping suddenly stepped forward and lifted the hatchet in his hand, then slashed it down.
He was only seriously injured due to the backlash of the sword's intention, but the sword's intention was still in his body. This is like a fish pond that has been damaged and leaked from all sides, but the fish inside are still alive.
Of course, forcefully activating the sword intention at this time will definitely cause more injuries, and may even lead to the complete destruction of the entire fish pond. By then, all the sword intention will be dispersed, and he himself will not survive.
The face of the monk surnamed Chao suddenly changed. Unfortunately, it was too late to realize the danger at this time. Li Xiuping used the knife as a sword, activated the sword energy in his body to the extreme, and slashed at the monk surnamed Chao.
With a deep muffled sound, the magic weapon in the hands of the monk surnamed Chao emitted a dazzling light, and then exploded, and a whirlwind suddenly set off across the ground, swirling up dust all over the sky.
The monk surnamed Chao's eyes widened, and then his clothes continued to explode, crisscrossing wounds appeared one after another, and he fell directly to the ground.
With just one strike, he actually killed a foundation-building monk!
Everyone present was shocked beyond measure.
What Li Xiuping wanted was this kind of intimidation. Only by intimidating the man in black robe could they have a chance to survive.
However, Li Xiuping still underestimated the backlash of the sword's intention. Although he successfully killed the monk named Chao with this sword strike, he could not suppress the sword energy that was completely surging in his body at this moment. A mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot, and his body could not even maintain his
It was a luxury to stand, and he fell to the ground.
As a result, the black-robed man was naturally unable to be intimidated, and Li Xiuping had no chance of fighting again. Therefore, the lives and deaths of the three of them were completely in Xu Bansheng's hands.
How can a monk with a sixth level of qi training deal with a strong man who has already established a foundation?
Are you really going to die here?
At this moment, Li Xiuping's heart was involuntarily filled with an unprecedented fear.
He was afraid of death, so he chose to practice, because he didn't want to be like many ordinary people like his master, who could only have regrets when their lives came to an end.
For this reason, he could endure cold and starvation and spend all his money on cultivation; for this reason, he could fight monsters that were stronger than him, just to obtain the resources of the Night Travel Division; for this reason, he could resist casting
The huge temptation of the benefits gained from the sword, hiding one's whereabouts...
But now, he is actually going to die.
He had just embarked on the path of cultivation, had just obtained the Black Iron Order from the Night Travel Division, had just received a large sum of money, but now he was about to die like this...
He was afraid and unwilling to give in. But he had no choice because his body had reached its limit and his life was about to come to an end.
Many times it is so cruel, and it will not change whether you are willing or not, especially in the world of spiritual practice. If you embark on this path, you may be able to go further, but you will also die faster.
The man in black robe was naturally shocked by Li Xiuping's strength, but seeing Li Xiuping's condition at this moment, he was obviously hurting the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred, so he quickly calmed down.
Since Li Xiuping no longer has the ability to fight, the remaining maid and a monk at the sixth level of Qi training cannot pose any threat to him.
As the monk surnamed Chao said, if he wanted to kill these people now, it would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death. However, he did not dare to say such words because the last person who said such words was already lying on the ground.
.
The man in black robe drove the magic weapon and slowly approached Li Xiuping, appearing extremely cautious and careful.
Although Li Xiuping has been seriously injured, he is not dead after all, so he must get rid of Li Xiuping first, otherwise there is no guarantee that nothing will happen.
Xu Bansheng had already appeared next to Li Xiuping at this time, looking at Li Xiuping with a worried look on his face, but said nothing.
"Did Master Fang give you any magic weapon to save your life? Or is there any magic weapon that can withstand the attacks of the foundation-building monks?" Li Xiuping spoke with difficulty, this was his last hope.
Although dying early or dying late is death, if you can die later, that is also good.
After hearing Li Xiuping's words, Xu Bansheng was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to remember something, took out an earth-yellow bead from his arms, and said, "This seems to be some kind of defensive magic weapon, but my master didn't tell me how to use it."
When Li Xiuping heard the first half of the sentence, he immediately felt like he saw hope. After hearing the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but frown tightly, and his eyes were fixed on the bead.
Xu didn't know how to use it for half his life, and it was even less likely that he would know it.
The man in black robe was getting closer and closer.
At this time, the maid suddenly rushed forward, stood between the black robed man and Li Xiuping, and opened her arms.
Neither Li Xiuping, Xu Bansheng nor the man in black robe expected that the maid would rush out at this time.
The man in black robes had gloomy eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Seeking death!"
After saying that, he waved the magic weapon in his hand, and a ray of light rushed directly towards the maid.
It would be very easy for a strong foundation-building expert to kill an ordinary maid, and there would be no chance of any accidents.
Xu Bansheng and Li Xiuping could only watch helplessly as the maid failed to play any role, and then fell to the ground and ended her life.
Anger filled the bodies of Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng, but they were helpless. The powerlessness that made them like fish and meat, making them unable to even roar.
The man in black robe stepped on the maid's body and continued to approach Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng.
Xu Bansheng was also full of fear at this moment, so his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. However, courage soon defeated the fear. He just heard a loud roar and rushed towards the black-robed man with the bead in his hand.
.
A woman, an ordinary person, is not afraid of life and death. How can he, a dignified seeker of immortality and the head disciple of Huayang Sect, be inferior to an ordinary maid?
Li Xiuping looked at Xu Bansheng, and he seemed to be able to see Xu Bansheng falling to the ground. But at this moment, his heart was unusually calm, without any sadness or intolerance, because he would be the next to die.
After Xu Bansheng rushed out, he threw the bead directly at the man in black robe, took out a magic weapon, accelerated his speed and rushed towards the man in black robe, looking forward to death.
Seeing a bead flying over, the man in black robe didn't pay attention. He raised his hand and planned to flick the bead away.
However, after the bead flew out, it suddenly burst into light, and then a majestic force directly impacted the surroundings.
Under the influence of this force, Xu Bansheng, who had just rushed forward, was directly bounced back, fell behind Li Xiuping, and vomited a large mouthful of blood on the spot.
The man in black robe could not withstand the impact of this force, and his body kept falling back. Although he was not as embarrassed as Xu Bansheng, blood also overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
The bead just floated in the air, shining brightly and brightly, like a miniature sun.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound from somewhere, and then the face of the man in black suddenly changed dramatically, and he couldn't help but lower his head to look at the magical weapon in his hand.
I saw that the magical weapon that looked like a copper bell had tiny cracks appearing at this moment, and they were still spreading.
All around, those flickering runes were illuminated by the light of the beads, and suddenly they continued to shatter. Huge cracks appeared one after another along with the walls, and then collapsed!
At the same time, outside this street, countless people are looking here, and they can faintly see a golden bell upside down between heaven and earth. However, it is crumbling at this moment. There are lines on top of the golden bell.
The cracks continued to spread, as if some force was breaking it open from the inside.
There are many cultivators in Chuxin City, and there are even many golden elixir-level experts who are stationed there. There is also a virtual elixir expert sitting in the nearest Wanbao Tower. At this moment, they are all rushing towards the big bell.
.
On the street, the man in black robe looked at Li Xiuping and Li Xiuping who were close at hand. Without any hesitation, he directly crushed the magic weapon that had not been completely destroyed, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the street.
Li Xiuping watched the man in black robe disappear, and then turned back to look at Xu Bansheng, who happened to be looking at him too.
When their four eyes met, there was no joy of surviving a disaster, but a kind of extremely pale confusion.
Everything is like having a nightmare. Even though I have woken up and I know it was a dream, I still feel scared.
The old man who had helped Li Xiuping load up the cold iron mine suddenly appeared on this street. He squinted at the two seriously injured children and two corpses on the ground. Then he appeared next to Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng and took out a pill for them.
The two of them took it, took another look at the two corpses, and then chased directly in the direction where the man in black disappeared.
There was a brief silence in the street again, and soon people appeared one after another. They were all ordinary people. At this moment, they were just watching from a distance, and no one dared to step forward.
Amidst the discussion of these people, Chen Wanrong came here with two strong men, walked directly to Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng, and checked their injuries without saying anything.
At this time, a group of soldiers arrived quickly and separated the onlookers. An old man with a white beard walked into the street and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Chen Wanrong stood up, looked at the other person and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
The old man quickly noticed the maid on the ground and said coldly: "Why is there someone from my Night Travel Department?"
Li Xiuping took out the black iron token with some difficulty, but it was just a small sign, and he couldn't lift it at the moment. Fortunately, Chen Wanrong knelt down again and helped him, and said for him: "He is too
You guys from the Night Travel Department just came from Qingyang County last night."
The old man stared at Li Xiuping and frowned.
Chen Wanrong continued: "It is better to find a place to treat them first, and we will talk about other things later."
Li Xiuping could still hear Chen Wanrong's two words, but they were already vague. At this moment, he could no longer hold on. The black iron order in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell into a coma.
