The sunset is as scorching as peach blossoms and as gorgeous as fire.
A sickly man dressed as a scholar was riding a white mule towards Luoshui.
The man was carrying a sword pouch, wearing a cloth robe and a square scarf on his head, looking down and out and depressed.
He was holding the wine flask, and every time he took a sip, he would sigh and mumble something unknown.
How could it be...him?
When he saw this man and a mule, Tang Lingqi felt chills running down his back, a layer of cold sweat soaked in his palms, and his body was stiff.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Baoer noticed that something was wrong with Tang Lingqi.
"Yeah, why are you scared?"
Suddenly, the man riding a white mule looked this way and sighed, "How can you, the Tang family, be so timid?"
He looked disappointed and shook his head.
Tang Lingqi took a deep breath, not daring to meet the man's eyes, and said solemnly: "In front of such an extraordinary figure like you, I am naturally trembling and walking on thin ice."
The man laughed sarcastically and said: "Don't worry, although I am murderous, I only kill those who deserve to be killed. You old guy is not qualified enough for me to draw my sword."
As he said that, he moved his eyes and looked at Tang Baoer with interest, "Little girl, are you the apple of the eye of the Tang family?"
Tang Baoer blinked his beautiful almond-shaped eyes and said: "Although pearls are beautiful, they are the most fragile. I would rather be a piece of rubble that no one cares about."
The man burst out laughing and said: "A phoenix is different from a pheasant, and a pearl is different from a rubble. Some people are born as humble as grass, but people like you are destined to be the scorching sun in the sky. Unfortunately, you are
Descendants of the Tang family."
After that, he sighed and rode his white mule towards Futian Mountain on the other side of Luoshui River.
"Hey, what are you regretting?"
Tang Baoer couldn't help but said.
The man didn't look back and said, "It's a pity that your Tang family and I are in different camps. We have different paths and we don't want to work together."
Tang Baoer rolled his eyes and said, "Then what are you going to do in the Luoshui restricted area this time?"
The man said: "Kill."
"Who to kill?"
"Kill those who deserve to be killed."
The sound is still echoing, and the man riding the white mule has disappeared deep into the Futian Mountains in the distance.
At this time, Tang Lingqi took a long breath of relief and realized that the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat and were freezing cold.
"Uncle, who is that guy? Why did he scare you like this? You are an immortal!"
Tang Baoer was very confused.
Tang Lingqi looked complicated, "That guy is also an Immortal Lord, but he is a monster who survived the age of Immortal Fall!"
"Back then, before the Central Immortal Court was destroyed, he was the first of the ten Immortal Lords of the Central Immortal Court, and the leading swordsman in the immortal world!"
"At that time, he was crazy about swords, killing without calculation, and went crazy like a madman when he saw it. Therefore, he was called 'Sword Madman' by some older people!"
Talking about this title, Tang Lingqi's mind was spinning.
Although Sword Crazy is an Immortal Lord, his evil reputation is louder than some of the Immortal Kings back then!
There is no other reason than that his swordsmanship is too strong!
"Sword Madman? A swordsman legend who survived the immortal era? He was also the head of the top ten immortal kings in the Central Immortal Court?"
Tang Baoer couldn't help being shocked.
What kind of terrifying kendo power can make an Immortal Lord more powerful than the Immortal King?
But immediately, Tang Baoer realized a problem and wondered, "But if he is so powerful, why is it that after so long years, he is still just... an immortal king?"
Tang Lingqi said: "It's very simple. In today's world, any strong person who can survive the era of immortal fall must have suffered heavy losses in the catastrophe that swept the world."
"Those powerful beings who have set foot on the top of the immortal path have to hide in order to resist and avoid the divine disasters related to the five declines of heaven and man. No one dares to show their traces in the world so far."
"Those Immortal King Realm characters are either plagued by divine catastrophes or suffer irreparable damage in catastrophes. They also rarely dare to take the lead."
"Like the Immortal King ancestors of our clan, they have been in seclusion since the end of the Immortal Fall era. No one dares to go out unless there is a major matter of life and death."
"Characters below the Immortal King Realm have also suffered heavy blows in the catastrophe. They may be able to walk in the world, but... no matter their cultivation or strength, they are destined to be far inferior to before. In fact, they have no hope of further progress on the road in this life.
further!"
"Sword madman must be like this too."
Tang Lingqi's tone was very certain.
Because as an old man from the Tang clan of the ancient clan, he knows better than most immortal figures in the world how terrifying the catastrophe in the Immortal Fall Era was.
Most of the ancient traditions and top figures have already fallen and disappeared in that long catastrophe.
And the characters who were able to survive all suffered heavy losses, with almost no exception!
For example, in their ancient clan, the Tang clan, there are many similar examples!
Tang Baoer understood immediately and said: "If this is the case, it is enough to prove that the strength of the sword madman today has been weakened to an unknown extent. Uncle, you don't have to be afraid of him."
Tang Lingqi smiled bitterly and said: "The sword madman at his peak was definitely a heaven-defying existence among the immortal kings. He had fought with the immortal kings before. Otherwise, there were so many important immortal kings in the Central Immortal Court. How could he be the first of the top ten immortal kings?
?”
"Even if his vitality is severely injured and his strength is severely weakened, who can not be afraid of such a monster?"
Tang Baoer curled his lips and said: "The wind and rain always blow away the wind. Today's fairyland is no longer the same as before!"
"I heard my uncle say that in the three hundred thousand years since the end of the Immortal Fall Era, thousands of Immortal Kings, tens of thousands of Immortal Lords, and countless Immortal Lords have emerged throughout the 49 continents of the Immortal Realm.
The virtual realm, the celestial being in the universe.”
"And this is just the beginning. Today's fairy world has ushered in an unprecedented golden age from the eternal silence!"
"This also means that in the years to come, more and more immortal figures will emerge. Heroes will emerge in troubled times, and geniuses will emerge in prosperous times. Today's people are destined to be far better than the ancients!"
"Uncle also said with certainty that in this golden age that is slowly unfolding, countless romantic figures and unparalleled legends will be born!"
"In today's Immortal World, sooner or later there will be many powerful people with talents that are astonishing from ancient times to the present. They can achieve the Tao Realm, climb to the top of the Immortal Dao, and compete with the peerless powers before the Immortal Fall Era!"
As he said this, Tang Baoer couldn't help but look forward to it.
As the river goes eastward, each generation becomes stronger than the last.
In this golden age that has ushered in after an eternity of silence, who says that the strong men of this world cannot compete with the ancients?
Who dares to say that people in this world cannot reach the top of the immortal path?
Tang Lingqi laughed loudly.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Reality is cruel after all.
It is true that in this golden age, countless amazing and beautiful people will emerge, but the rise of any strong person will not be accompanied by bloodshed?
On that long road to immortality, there shouldn’t be too many of God’s favorites who die young!
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones!
"Oops!"
Tang Baoer's pretty face suddenly changed, "That sword madman is here to kill Brother Su, right?"
Tang Lingqi's eyes suddenly shrank, and his expression was solemn, "I forgot that this sword madman used to serve under the Central Immortal Court, but the Central Immortal Court has long been destroyed in the long river of history. Now he has probably joined the Shenhuo Cult.
!”
Tang Baoer's heart tightened and he said, "If you say that, Brother Su will be in danger!"
"not necessarily."
Tang Lingqi's eyes flashed, "Don't forget, although fellow Daoist Su only has the cultivation level of Yujing, he has the strength to kill the Immortal Lord! If that's all, that's fine, but have you forgotten that those seven days ago?
How do the immortal kings of the Shenhuo Sect die?"
Tang Baoer's beautiful eyes shone and he said excitedly: "I almost forgot that in the ruins of Yongye Academy, Brother Su was just like returning to his own home. Not only did he robbed a calligraphy treasure of Emperor Yongye, but he also could
Take control of the Nine Kings Sealing Formation!"
"Like returning to your own home?"
Tang Lingqi was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing and said, "In short, if Madman Sword really encounters Fellow Daoist Su, I'm afraid he may not be able to win for sure!"
"Uncle, how about we go take a look?"
Tang Baoer was a little impatient.
Tang Lingqi thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's go for a walk!"
Although the Luoshui restricted area, one of the six forbidden areas in Bailuzhou, was extremely dangerous, they had managed to get through it before, so they didn't have anything to worry about.
…
The ruins of Yongye Academy.
The man wearing a scarf and dressed as a scholar squinted his eyes and looked at the ruins shrouded in dark thunderclouds, coughing violently from time to time.
The sickly and thin cheeks were flushed red from coughing.
But he didn't care, he held the wine bottle and drank by himself.
However, the white mule he was riding could not be so calm. It stamped its hooves anxiously and made a rapid neighing sound from its mouth, as if urging the man to leave.
"What are you afraid of? I've been to this damn place before."
The man patted the white mule on the head, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "In the beginning, in order to seek a stronger swordsmanship, I once sparred with the third elder of the Yongye Academy, 'Wen Jianya'."
"I have to say that Wen Jianya is worthy of being the strongest Immortal King of Swordsmanship in Yongye Academy. In that battle, he used his Immortal Lord strength to compete with me. Although I narrowly won in the end, I know clearly that he deliberately conceded
, I didn’t try my best to fight at all.”
"And I, I tried my best at that time..."
There was a sentimental look in the man's eyes, "He is also one of the three swordsmen I admire the most in my life. Unfortunately, before I could set foot in the Immortal King Realm, a catastrophe swept across the world. Not only was I seriously injured, but also this
Yongye Academy has also been destroyed..."
After that, he sighed, got off the white mule, and said, "You stay here while I go for a walk."
Soon, the man arrived near the entrance of Wenxuan Valley.
When he arrived here, he frowned slightly and smelled a vague smell of blood on his nose!
