Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 73: Floating with the Wind
"Get out of my way!"
Shou Chaoge roared angrily and slashed with the sword in his hand.
Under the light of several swords, the branches and stems of the old locust tree turned into dozens of broken branches and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the middle-aged man actually used some kind of secret technique to suppress the situation. His aura suddenly surged so much that it almost broke through a boundary, and he reached the late stage of the flesh and blood realm in an instant.
Rolling energy and blood spurted out from his body, surrounding his body like a god of war, with the whole body covered with bright and sharp sword light.
The light of the sword flashed one after another, cutting off countless branches and stalks. He kept walking forward, but every step was very difficult.
The distance is only about three feet, and for a martial artist in the late stage of the Flesh Realm, although it is not fleeting, it can only take a few snaps of the fingers at most.
But at this time, he walked for half a moment before he finally arrived in front of the old locust tree.
puff!
A branch passed through the sparse sword light and stabbed Shou Chaoge violently. There was not much blood gushing out from his chest.
Behind him, in addition to countless broken branches and leaves, there was also a path of bright red blood.
"You fell into the trap."
Shou Chaoge slowly raised his head, looked weakly at the boy in the tree trunk, and suddenly smiled.
锵!!!!
A sword roar suddenly sounded, and sword energy poured out like a tide!
Ji Yuan appeared quietly behind the old locust tree at some point. He held the long sword with a solemn face, looked at the old locust tree that was only three or four steps in front of him, and suddenly murmured to himself: "Yuanbao... please!"
From the center of his eyebrows, sword energy spurted out like a stream, and in an instant it peeled off the hard bark of the old locust tree, leaving most of the trunk scarred with sword marks.
Just as his voice fell, a sword light suddenly flashed up.
The long sword in his hand seemed to have a life of its own, and it actively slashed forward. The sword energy in the sky gathered into a line, and struck the trunk of the old locust tree one after another with the long sword.
For a moment, everything in the world was completely silent. Even the rustling sound in the dense canopy of trees suddenly disappeared, leaving only two messy breathing sounds and a weak heartbeat.
‘Click!’
Cracks suddenly appeared on the tree trunk, and in an instant they were covered with the entire old locust tree. Countless dark green sap flowed out of the cracks, and the air seemed to be dyed with a layer of honey.
"Human race, damn it!"
A face appeared on the old locust tree, and with a roar full of rage, powerful mana suddenly burst out.
In this surging mana sweep, Ji Yuan was immediately carried and flew backwards for seven or eight feet, and his body crashed directly into a house.
Shou Chaoge still stood where he was, resisting the surging mana without taking a step back, because his body had been penetrated by branches and roots, and he was nailed to the ground.
At this moment, a strong sense of vitality suddenly emerged. Although the naked eye could not see anything, it still made people feel as if they were seeing a green ocean.
In this dense vitality, weeds grew wildly, reaching waist height in a blink of an eye, swaying lushly in the wind.
The entire old locust tree exudes green brilliance. It inserts all its roots into the earth, frantically absorbing the blood essence from a ground vein and the black mud platform used for blood sacrifices in the underground space.
In just a few moments, its aura had surged several times, all the way to the late stage of the Spiritual Realm, and it quickly reached its peak in more than ten breaths.
Just in the blink of an eye, the brilliance on the old locust tree's body suddenly dimmed rapidly, and the breath and vitality in the body continued to weaken.
The fall from the peak of the second realm lasted only a breath in the early and middle stages, and then fell one after another. After a while, only the breath of the early stage of enlightenment was left.
Even the vigorous vitality seemed to have dissipated out of thin air, leaving only a wisp of it that was no better than a weed.
The entire old locust tree withered instantly. The trunk, which was originally strong and tall, was now dry and cracked everywhere, giving off an aura of decay and decay.
And among the tree trunks, the young master of the Zhao family who was trapped here had a rosy face at the moment, and his body was faintly glowing.
"Old man! I'll take your mother away!"
When a little spiritual light gathered in the tree trunk and was about to penetrate into Zhao Yuebai's body, the already weak middle-aged man suddenly let out a roar.
His breath that should have been weak suddenly surged, and his energy and blood surged. He immediately broke free from the rotten branch, and then slashed it down in the air with a sharp knife.
In an instant, the long knife in his hand broke, and more than ten fragments merged into the light of the knife, and struck the trunk of the old locust tree fiercely.
The entire locust tree suddenly shook, and the spiritual light within it almost collapsed, but it still gathered together with difficulty, struggling to penetrate into Zhao Yuebai's body bit by bit.
Uh-huh!!!
A stream of light shot out from the half-collapsed house, and instantly pierced into the rotten tree trunk, nailing the little spiritual light tightly.
"If you don't take action, you can no longer expect to get the Bone-Regenerating Flesh Pill!"
Ji Yuan stood on the ruins and turned to shout in the distance.
As soon as the words left his mouth, an afterimage flew over at high speed from a dozen feet away, and after a few breaths, he came to the courtyard.
It was a crystal-white skeleton with white bones. It was standing in front of the old locust tree. After a moment of pause, a bone fist was punched out!
boom!!!!!
In an instant, the entire rotten and broken tree trunk collapsed under this punch, turning into countless fragments and shooting into the sky.
At the same time, a hand bone reached into the debris in the sky, grabbed a palm-sized emerald crystal, and then hugged the boy in the air.
With the next breath, the skeleton shook slightly and returned to Su Hongzhu's form. She held Zhao Yuebai in her arms, and a soft color suddenly appeared in her eyes full of murderous intent and resentment.
"Still want to run?"
Ji Yuan stared and immediately shouted loudly.
As soon as the shout rose, he rushed out in three or two steps, and then jumped into the air. The long sword he had thrown earlier returned to his palm, and he stabbed forward fiercely.
There was just a 'pop' sound, and when the tip of the sword pierced a point of spiritual light, the light point condensed by the spirit of the old locust tree exploded in the air.
There seemed to be an unwilling sigh echoing in the dark. As this spiritual light collapsed and exploded, the remaining trunk and roots of the old locust tree dried up at a very fast speed, and finally turned into rotten wood.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan fell back to the ground, put the long sword into the scabbard behind his back, and then walked towards the remaining trunk of the decayed and dry old locust tree.
"You...is there anything you haven't had time to do?"
After taking a look at the sleeping Zhao Yuebai and making sure that he was fine, Ji Yuan came to the middle-aged man.
At this time, the Zhao family nurse named Shou Chaoge was completely exhausted. The side effects and backlash caused by the secret method had made his originally burly body become exhausted, and he looked completely skinny and bones.
However, listening to Ji Yuan's words, Shou Chaoge had no way to respond. His body had been completely destroyed, and he could still hold on at this time only by relying on his own breath.
Now he was looking at the boy in Su Hongzhu's arms from a distance, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.
"I just saw it. Zhao Yuebai was not harmed. His three souls and seven souls are intact, and his mind and body have not been erased."
After thinking about it, Ji Yuan said with a smile: "Even before the death of the old locust tree, in order to complete the seizure of the body one step ahead, he injected his own cultivation and vitality into his body. Once Zhao Yuebai wakes up, he will only
It only takes one thought to embark on the path of spiritual practice.”
Even with the cultivation of the old locust tree and the rich vitality accumulated for hundreds of years, Zhao Yuebai's future cultivation path will be very smooth.
He only needs to refine the mana and vitality in his body step by step, and he can reach the second level within a few years.
Hearing this, Shou Chaoge nodded with difficulty. It was just a slight movement, but it was already what he could do with all his strength.
Then he slowly closed his eyes, finally showing a relieved look.
boom……
The next moment, his body suddenly collapsed and turned into a cloud of dust that drifted away in the wind. There was no longer the form of Shou Chaoge.
Ji Yuan watched this scene silently, even though the middle-aged man's appearance was no longer in front of him, he still did not look away.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
After a moment, Ji Yuan suddenly turned around, his eyes fell on Su Hongzhu's face, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
As if sensing the master's killing intent, the long sword on his back trembled slightly, and wisps of sword energy flowed out of the scabbard.
For a moment, even the air here seemed to be filled with a layer of murderous intent.
"At that time, I had been knocked back more than ten feet. Even if I got up immediately, it would be too late."
Su Hongzhu's expression did not change, and then she whispered.
And she was indeed right. When he saw Zhao Yuebai bound in the tree trunk, Shou Chaoge activated the secret method without hesitation.
And this secret method of burning everything within oneself cannot be interrupted once it is cast. Even if she returns as quickly as possible, the final result cannot be changed.
After a long time, Ji Yuan sighed softly, the murderous intent on his body gradually subsided, and the strange vision on the long sword slowly subsided.
He stepped forward in a few steps, took Zhao Yuebai from Su Hongzhu's hand, hugged the seven or eight-year-old boy across his arms, turned and walked towards the outside of Zhao's house.
Behind him, the young woman's eyes flashed with different colors, including softness when she looked at the boy's face, but also rage and murderous intent when she looked at Ji Yuan's back.
I don't know what Su Hongzhu thought of, but the expression on her face calmed down, and she showed a smile with unknown meaning, and quickly followed Ji Yuan.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard where the main house was located, met up with Huixin and several nursing staff, and left the silent Zhao family mansion together.
"I also ask the four of you to send young Master Yuebai to Xuantian Temple and hand him over to my master and fifth senior brother."
As soon as he walked out of the Zhao family's mansion, Ji Yuan entrusted Zhao Yuebai in his arms to four nurses.
Among them, the young nurse named Liao Qiming, after receiving Zhao Yuebai, solemnly nodded and promised to send him safely to Xuantian Temple.
After watching the four people escorting the boy away, Ji Yuan turned around and looked at one person and one ghost.
"Let's go to Baiyun Temple to see the situation."
He said slowly.
For some reason, Su Hongzhu and Huixin saw an indescribable color in his eyes. This chapter has been completed!
