The first thousand and forty-one chapters mayfly shake the tree
Next to the clear stream, a group of men and women in short robes were sitting by the river and resting.
They all wear crowns of different materials on their heads, which are densely covered with runes and inlaid with priceless gems, exuding faint energy fluctuations.
Wearing armor and holding a long sword in his hand, he was obviously dressed like a monk.
It seemed that after a long journey, these monks had a hint of fatigue on their faces, but even so, they were still paying attention to the surrounding situation while resting.
So when Tang Zhen deliberately made some noise, he was immediately discovered by these monks.
"Who is it and where is it hiding?"
Following the loud shout of a young monk, all the companions around him jumped up from the ground, unsheathing their swords and staring at the woods not far away.
Several of the monks still had balls of light hesitating in their hands, as if they might launch an attack at any time.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a traveler!"
A faint voice came, and Tang Zhen walked out of the woods, glanced at the monks who were waiting, and explained softly.
After seeing that Tang Zhen was alone and could not see any cultivation, the nervous monks breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
However, some people were still worried. One of the young monks asked Tang Zhen: "This is a barren mountain. You, an ordinary person without any cultivation, dare to run around here. Aren't you afraid of being bitten by a monster?"
Swallowed?"
"Or do you have evil intentions and are trying to harm us?"
When the questioning monk said this, he stabbed out the long sword in his hand, looking like he was going to kill Tang Zhen with one strike!
Regardless of whether he was threatening or not, the murderous look in his eyes was indeed real. It seemed that in his eyes, Tang Zhen, who had no cultivation, was just an ant that could be crushed to death at will.
"presumptuous!"
Seeing that the monk's long sword was less than an inch away from his body, and he had no intention of stopping his hand, Tang Zhen's face sank slightly, and he raised his hand to point the long sword.
There was only a soft "buzz" sound, and the well-cast long sword let out a mournful scream, and suddenly shattered into countless small pieces, rolling backwards and flying towards the attacker's body.
"careful!"
When a white-haired old man in the team saw this, he shouted a warning with a frightened face. At the same time, he waved his hand and threw an object similar to a jade token, which suddenly exploded in front of the attacker.
An energy shield appeared instantly, protecting the young monk who attacked Tang Zhen from behind. Unexpectedly, the thin metal pieces were like an indestructible magic weapon, and the shield that had just been propped up was riddled with holes.
The monk who attacked Tang Zhen screamed in agony, with blood all over his body, and fell limply to the ground.
"Why!"
When the white-haired old man saw this, his eyes showed anxiety and shock. He shouted "set up a warning" to the monks beside him, and then took out a pair of gold rings and threw them at Tang Zhen.
The golden ring flew extremely fast and landed in front of Tang Zhen in an instant. Then the light soared, making him almost unable to open his eyes.
At the same time, the diameter of the golden ring continued to expand, and it moved towards Tang Zhen's body, seeming to trap him.
"How dare you show off your little tricks in front of me!"
Tang Zhen snorted coldly, waved his hand towards the golden ring, and then saw a ball of flame appear and fall on the golden ring.
The seemingly tough golden ring paused for a moment. After encountering the flames released by Tang Zhen, it immediately melted into the flames as if it were made of ice.
"Oh, it hurts me so much!"
As the golden ring disappeared in the blink of an eye, the old man's face turned as pale as paper. After a wild cry, he spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
"Uncle Master, how are you?"
When the monks nearby saw this, they quickly cast worried looks, as if they wanted to step forward to help him.
Unexpectedly, the white-haired old man held on to his swaying body and yelled at the monks beside him: "The enemy is too powerful, you can't be my opponent, I will cover you, run away!"
When the white-haired old man said this, he took out a bunch of finely carved jade balls from his body, raised his hands and struck them hard, and then he saw a flash of lightning as thick as a thumb appearing out of thin air and heading straight towards Tang Zhen.
"You guys run quickly!"
While attacking Tang Zhen, the old man did not forget to remind the other monks to escape, but the scene that happened next made his heart completely sink to the bottom.
Tang Zhen stretched out his hand in front of him, and the thunderbolt fell into Tang Zhen's hand like a docile snake. At the same time, it was still twisting, seemingly full of admiration for Tang Zhen.
"Damn, what's going on?"
The white-haired old man's eyes nearly popped out when he saw this. He never dreamed that the lightning chain he released with his magic weapon would not have any attack effect on the enemy.
Thinking about escaping in front of such a strong man is simply wishful thinking!
Although he understood this truth in his heart, the white-haired old man still didn't want to give up. He just wanted to give it a try and maybe one or two could escape.
"If we don't speak clearly today, none of you can even think of leaving!"
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, the little thunder snake suddenly flew out of his hand, and then circled around the monks like a spiritual creature.
With each turn, the size of the little thunder snake increases. After only a few dozen breaths, the little thunder snake has turned into a giant thunder python, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance!
After seeing this scene, the white-haired old man felt desperate and signaled the monks to stop making unnecessary resistance, lest Tang Zhen really kill him.
It was impossible not to surrender. Tang Zhen's strength was far beyond theirs. It was more like a joke at this moment. Otherwise, with his methods, he and others would probably have turned into corpses long ago!
"Your Excellency, please stop. Let's talk about anything slowly!"
The white-haired old man raised his hands to Tang Zhen, with a look of begging on his face. Facing such a strong man with unknown origins, he could only lower his face and beg for mercy.
However, in the spiritual world, the strong are respected, and Tang Zhen has such strength, there is nothing wrong with him being humble.
"Now that we want to talk about it and discuss it, why did we take action directly just now?"
Tang Zhen snorted coldly and said to the old man: "If I were an ordinary person, I would have been killed by you with just one sword, right?"
The old man smiled bitterly and explained to Tang Zhen: "You may not know that we have encountered all kinds of interceptions and killings along the way, and we have already been overwhelmed.
It is true that there are very few human traces in these barren mountains and wild mountains, monsters and beasts are rampant, and there is no trace of a monk's breath on your body, which inevitably makes people suspect that my nephew was also afraid of making mistakes, so he killed me!"
The old man's explanation seemed perfect, but Tang Zhen only believed half of it.
This group of monks probably treated ordinary people as nothing, so they took action without any hesitation.
Of course, he was not prepared to pursue the case, but looked at the old man and asked: "Now tell me, who are you and what do you plan to do?"
"In response to your Excellency, we are from Lingjian Sect and plan to go to Qiyang City to recruit a new generation of disciples for the sect."
After the old man finished answering, he looked at him with a worried expression and a very respectful attitude.
"Qiyang City?"
After Tang Zhen heard this name, he secretly thought that it was a coincidence that the place he planned to go to was exactly Qiyang City.
Maybe this is not necessarily a coincidence, but the force of fate guiding me.
As the son of destiny, Luo Qi, although he has encountered changes now, still has the power in the dark to help him and guide the savior to his side.
