One after another, the stone giant's feet kicked down from the sky.
Xiao Kongtong and Ye Xiaotian flashed again, teleported in space, jumped in time and space, and flashed to a temporarily safe place.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Xiao Kongtong could no longer stop breathing.
It has been many years since he used the first level of phantom swordsmanship so frequently. However, this is not for fighting, but just for escaping...
shameful!
The teacher's face will be completely embarrassed by him!
If I had known earlier, I should have transformed into myself before meeting Ye Xiaotian!
"Can you do it? It's been so long and you still haven't found anyone?" Xiao Kongtong looked at Ye Xiaotian's calmness and couldn't help but feel envious and angry.
Does this peeping maniac have any technical skills? After running for so long, the space mirror peeked over and over again, but he still couldn't find anyone.
"You have asked this question no less than eight hundred times!"
Ye Xiaotian was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Being questioned repeatedly, he became angry and said angrily:
"I'm still thinking of ways to find someone, what about you? What have you done?"
"You were the one who attracted the stone giant. Xu Xiaoshou has now left Tiansang Ling Palace and joined your holy slaves."
"You don't have any means to locate him, so you have to rely on me to find him?"
Xiao Kongtong was choked, and then he got angry: "What's wrong with you looking for someone? What's wrong with you, a person with space attributes, who has to work too hard? I gave you my half-saint status and asked you to find someone. Why don't you still do it?"
Are you happy?"
Ye Xiaotian:???
Did I agree to the semi-holy status?
This is obviously a forced gift from you in Mingsai!
"Then give it back to you!"
Ye Xiaotian took out the crystal gem and patted it on the person in front of him, "I won't accompany you anymore. Go wipe the shit out of your ass yourself!"
After saying this, the secrets of space under his feet began to swirl, and he was about to disappear and leave.
"stop!"
Xiao Kongtong was stunned for a moment while holding the crystal gem. His eyes tightened, and tens of thousands of golden lightsabers suppressed him from the sky.
"boom!"
The space is frozen.
Ye Xiaotian bent his knees and almost fell to the ground, quickly dodged and retreated.
Ten thousand swordsmanship, absolute imperial rule... He narrowed his eyes and said in a heavy voice: "What? You still want to take action against me?"
Xiao Kongtong held the crystal gem in his hand and walked to Ye Xiaotian step by step with a solemn expression. When the latter became extremely vigilant...
He reached out and patted the crystal gem back.
"Huh?" Ye Xiaotian was a little stunned when he got the semi-saint status again.
"There's no reason to take back what I've given away." Xiao Kongtong held back the pain in his heart, his tone neither salty nor light.
Are you sick!
Ye Xiaotian almost didn't curse out what was in his heart.
But the ability of the person in front of him was undoubtedly one of the most peak swordsmen he had ever seen.
The free "time and space jump" was used to escape, and the "absolute imperial system" stable space at his fingertips... It was obvious that after running for his life repeatedly, his condition was extremely bad, but only two of his nine swordsmanships were exposed, and they were all in the third place.
A realm!
Is it scary?
How terrible!
"What on earth do you want to do?" Ye Xiaozhen couldn't figure out this guy's tricks, and the semi-saint didn't show any nostalgia. Are you just pretending, or are you pretending?
"I didn't expect that you really don't care about semi-saints..." Xiao Kongtong sighed. At this time, his thoughts coincided with Ye Xiaotian's, "This is the real 'sacred Taoist foundation', but it is only three years old."
The trouble with the four hundred stone giants is a spiritual refiner, and I have to risk my life to save him."
"Oh, I'm just afraid that if I have my life to take it, I won't have the life to enjoy it."
Ye Xiaotian sneered, he is the fourth son of the Holy Palace, how rare is this thing?
"Strictly speaking, you, the Holy Slave Wu Xiu, are the only ones who betrayed the Holy Palace. I only traveled down the mountain to find him, and I still have my affiliation with the Holy Palace."
Ye Xiaotian paused and proudly raised his hands, "And as long as the space secrets of Taixu Realm return to Siling Mountain, even if I really betrayed the Holy Palace before, do you think Siling Mountain will not tolerate me?"
Xiao Kongtong: “…”
You really have a great family and a great business!
Do you really have to rely on your background when you come out to hang out?
"But semi-saints are always scarce, aren't they?" Xiao Kongtong didn't intend to dwell on this. He returned to the topic and asked seriously: "I just want to know now, where is Xu Xiaoshou?"
Ye Xiaotian frowned, then relaxed, and did not speak for a long time.
"You already know the answer, otherwise you wouldn't want to leave." Xiao Kongtong sneered, "Ye Xiaotian, so you are so cold-blooded!"
"Alas..." Ye Xiaotian sighed heavily and retracted all the spatial mirrors, "I have seen almost all of the Forest of Miracles, and Xu Xiaoshou is not here."
"He's right here!" Xiao Kongtong was extremely sure. The sword thought he left on Xu Xiaoshou's body had appeared within the scope of the Miracle Forest not long ago.
"Yes, the problem lies here, the only place I dare not look at..." Ye Xiaotian looked back and looked into the distance.
That position was exactly the position where fluctuations in holy power frequently erupted when he was fleeing at the foot of the stone giant.
"Twins...half-saints?" Xiao Kongtong's face turned gloomy, "Sure enough, this is the only place left..."
This time, the two of them were chased by the stone giant and fled in circles in the Miracle Forest, but by coincidence they deliberately avoided the place where the semi-saint's pressure broke out.
I never thought that after going around and around in the end, the only place left at the end would be!
"I only have one good friend, old man Sang. Xu Xiaoshou can only be regarded as a junior. The relationship between him and me is all due to Sang Qiye..."
Ye Xiaotian stared into the distance intently and whispered: "Putting your hope on Xu Xiaoshou, I don't know how long it will take for him to grow up. It's better to wait for me to become Taixu and save people myself."
Xiao Kongtong never looked back. The more he looked at the distance, the more nervous his heart became.
Of course he understands how powerful Taixu will be when he achieves the secret of space. As long as he finds a way, the world is so big that there will be nowhere he can go.
So Ye Xiaotian's choice is understandable.
but……
"This cannot hide the fact that you are scared." Xiao Kongtong's eyes moved.
"That's a semi-saint! It's not Taixu who took the holy blood, nor the fakes Xu Xiaoshou pretended to be!" Ye Xiaotian was furious, "You can make fun of your life, why have I been practicing hard for so many years?"
Xiao Kongtong was amused: "For the sake of 'not daring'? For the sake of 'living on'?"
Ye Xiaotian was startled, furious, and the space spirit energy gathered, and he was about to take action.
"This is the difference between you and Sang Qiye..." Xiao Kongtong was unmoved. With one sentence, the latter suddenly stopped moving.
"He can part ways with me just because we have different paths and just do his own thing for decades."
"And you, hiding in a small Tiansang Linggong, for so many years, I am afraid that even your will has been wiped out."
"Ye Xiaotian, think about it carefully!"
Xiao Kongtong turned around and said seriously: "Yu Lingdi is only a few years old, and he has already understood the secret of the water system. With your talent, you should have reached this step long ago!"
"If you are still complacent about this breakthrough that is decades late, maybe the road ahead will end here, and it is too vain to talk about it?"
"Comfort will not make people progress."
"If you retreat bravely from the rapids and protect yourself wisely, it is also impossible for any genius to be crowned a saint!"
Ye Xiaotian's whole body was shaken, and his pupils were shrinking.
He has heard these words before...
Whenever Mr. Sang came back from traveling, he would have a drink and talk with them in the thatched house.
And every time, what he said the most was nothing more than...
"Tiansang Ling Palace is like a cage. A bird in a cage that cannot see the sky outside will be complacent because of its current comfortable situation, but it requires a greater breakthrough. If this cage is not broken... a sparrow will eventually become a sparrow and a swan.
It’s a swan in the end.”
In my memory, the last words Old Man Sang said to Ye Xiaotian after his arm was amputated by the Eight Lords that night at Tiansang Ling Palace were the same.
"Ye Xiaotian, from now on, if you decide to break the point, then break it. How many times have I told you!"
yes!
I was the fourth son of the Holy Palace in the past. When did I develop this timid and submissive mentality?
Just like the advice of a close relative, people's natural reaction is to listen in one ear and out the other, but the care of a stranger can make people feel warm.
Ye Xiaotian felt like he was enlightened and finally realized that Mr. Sang had realized the problem of his problem many years ago and had warned him many times.
But I will always be fooled!
Didn't you realize it?
No!
I don’t dare!
I don’t dare to break through that layer, I don’t dare to see the sky outside again, I am willing to be a frog at the bottom of the well, and guard the pure land!
"Ah……"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and suddenly laughed.
He finally understood why the last step that trapped him was inexplicably broken after only observing a war in the Eighth Palace.
He should have broken through long ago!
But it was because I was imprisoned in a cage for so many years that I wasted so much time.
Why can Yu Lingdi master the secrets of the water system when he is around 20 years old? That's because he is fighting all the time!
However, as the fourth son of the Holy Palace, it was due to the so-called "cowardice" that I delayed my journey to spiritual refining for so long.
Even if he has mastered the secrets of space now, when he encounters Huang Quan being brutally tortured by blood as soon as he takes action, he unknowingly closes himself off due to fear.
Yes!
Just "scared"!
The guy in front of me is right, he hits the nail on the head!
He, Ye Xiaotian, was scared to death of the Eight Masters and was extremely afraid of hell. He had been beaten twice in the past few years and was beaten to the point of autism. He was extremely scared!
Looking at the fluctuations of holy power in the distance, Ye Xiaotian's mood was in turmoil, and the Tao around his body was manifested. In the faint nine heavens, there were wind and thunder gathering, turning into clouds of calamity.
Xiao Kongtong raised his eyes:???
what happened?
What happened to you?!
Ye Xiaotian then raised his eyes and looked at Jiutian Jieyun, and forcibly resisted the impulse.
His eyes became firm, and his eyes fell back on the guy in front of him who woke up the dreamer with these words, and his tone became sighing:
"I have to say, your boy not only pretends to be the same, but he is also very strong. When he talks, he also talks in a certain way. He really has something."
Your boy?
Xiao Kongtong's eyelids twitched and he snorted coldly: "Ye Xiaotian, please be more respectful when you speak!"
"Aren't you the Eight Masters?" Ye Xiaotian smiled, not even in a questioning tone.
"Oh?" Xiao Kongtong's heart tightened.
"If you are really the Eight Masters, with your rubbish positioning methods, Xu Xiaoshou may have died countless times, and it would be difficult for him to get your support before he died." Ye Xiaotian's eyes were filled with amusement.
"And judging from your knowledge of protecting the Eighth Swordsman and your strength, you are no longer as simple as the so-called fanatical admirer of the Eighth Sword Immortal."
"In this world, there are only a few people who can achieve this level of mastery of the Eight Masters, and who can master so many first realms of the nine swordsmanships."
"Wen Jianxian is considered a good friend of the Eight Lords, but he won't go to such lengths."
"So, your identity is self-evident..."
Ye Xiaotian paused for a moment and was extremely convinced. He paused every word and said seriously: "Senior Brother Shenyue Xiancheng - laugh, Kong, Dong!"
The slightly sarcastic smile that had barely risen on Xiao Kongtong's face froze immediately, and he felt that the person in front of him seemed to have changed his soul, and suddenly became... a bit scary!
"how are you……"
"Stop pretending, there are really not many ancient sword cultivators who can cultivate to this level. It's not like I haven't seen the world." Ye Xiaotian interrupted.
Xiao Kongtong sighed heavily, stopped pretending, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Go to Xiao Kongtong in the Moon Fairy City and meet your senior."
Should I say it or not, I was born half a century later.
The white-haired Taoist boy in front of him is Sang Qiye's friend, and Sang Qiye is the teacher's friend. After calculation, this is indeed his senior.
In Xiao Kongtong’s mind, respecting teachers and teachings always come first.
"Not bad." Ye Xiaotian looked at him and the corners of his lips turned up, "He is a bit well-educated, and his tone of voice is quite respectful."
"..." Xiao Kongtong felt his liver hurt. Why did his status suddenly change and it was his turn to serve others?
"Stop talking about it, senior. No matter how much Xu Xiaoshou can hold on, he won't be able to hold on much longer now. Let's get there quickly." Xiao Kongtong didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
Ye Xiaotian also stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
His body floated in the void, and he slowly pushed forward, saying slowly: "I can go to meet the Saint with you, but I have agreed beforehand that I am not strong enough to defeat the Half-Saint."
"Ha." Xiao Kongtong puffed up his chest subconsciously, "It's okay, I'm..."
"You are not the Eighth Sword Immortal, nor do you have the skills of the Eighth Sword Immortal!" Ye Xiaotian interrupted abruptly, "You can hide it from others, but it's not as easy as you think for a Half-Saint."
Ye Xiaotian turned his head with an extremely heavy expression: "Since you are not the Eight Masters, you must have never seen a few Half-Saints in your life. Because you need to deal with the situation of Half-Saints, your teacher will not let you take action."
Xiao Kongtong hesitated to speak, but what he said was good.
"I'm different..." Ye Xiaotian said with deep fear in his eyes, "The semi-saint in my memory can crush you and me with one finger!"
Xiao Kongtong moved his lips and teeth again, but it was difficult for him to say anything to refute.
“Got to try.”
The task given by the teacher is to protect Xu Xiaoshou, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye.
"It's time to give it a try, but I can't be as stubborn as you. You have to plan something..."
Ye Xiaotian paused for a moment, stooped, and took the initiative to lower the head of the person in front of him. Then he spread his hands and said very freely:
"Let me declare first, I can't even hit Huang Quan, and I can't withstand a blow from a Half-Saint, so..."
"How tall are you?"
"Me?" Xiao Kongtong was startled for a moment, then he took a breath, raised his chest and said, "As high as the sky!"
"Oh? Are you that tall?" Ye Xiaotian didn't believe it. The strongest standard among the semi-saints was Ba - the sky is one foot tall and the eight masters are familiar with it. Who dares to be a semi-sage?
Xiao Kongtong is strong, but compared to his predecessors who are truly famous in the five regions, not to mention being unknown, he can only be regarded as a powerful person, right?
Where did he get the confidence to be as high as the sky, only one head lower than the Eight Masters?
"It's that high!" Xiao Kongtong said firmly.
"How long can you last under the hands of a semi-saint at such a high level?" Ye Xiaotian raised his eyebrows.
