Just like that, I was in the temptation of words coming and going.
Not only did Chen Zheng calmly make up the story, but he also recounted his experience of living in the mountains and forests in detail, intentionally or unintentionally, as evidence.
Ji Xunyi gradually discovered that although the origin of Chen Zheng in front of him was questionable, he did not seem to be who he thought.
After all, the origins can be fabricated, but these experiences are not owned by ordinary people and cannot be faked.
However, after several insinuations, there was no flaw, which made him gradually believe that the other party seemed to be a man from the mountains who was isolated from the world.
In the same process, Chen Zheng also gained a general understanding of the origins of Ji Xunyi and others.
Both Ji Xunyi and the martial arts masters he followed were disciples of the Thunder Martial Arts School.
Thunder Martial Arts Dojo is one of the top large-scale martial arts dojos in Lingqiu County, with hundreds of official disciples, and it owns businesses such as chambers of commerce, medicine shops, escort agencies, gambling houses, restaurants, etc., and is very powerful.
Ji Xunyi himself is the third direct disciple of the master of the martial arts field. He is in charge of the escort agency and the medicine store business. He often personally leads the team to escort goods and even medicinal materials.
This point undoubtedly aroused Chen Zheng's strong interest.
After all, he has now completed his marrow training and is in need of a new blood elixir. Since Ji Xunyi is in charge of the medicine store's business, he might know the channels in this regard.
However, the two parties were new acquaintances and did not fully trust each other, so he did not ask on the spot.
And after saying this for a while.
Ji Xunyi said goodbye and returned to his fellow apprentices.
"Brother, how are you doing?"
The fire crackled and burned, and two capable martial arts masters came over and shouted like mosquitoes:
"Where does this person come from, and does he want it?"
As he spoke, he made a vague throat-cutting motion.
Ji Xunyi shook his head slightly:
"No need for the moment. This person's background is a bit strange, but he does have rich experience in living in the mountains. The encounter may be just a coincidence, and it doesn't seem like he is coming for us."
Several martial artists were slightly relieved after hearing this, and one of them asked cautiously:
"Then let him follow us all the way?"
"Just let him follow. It's hard to break the promise once you've said it."
Ji Xunyi smiled faintly:
"But you should pay attention along the way. If there is any problem, I will take care of it myself."
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The two parties got along well, and when the sky started to light up, they continued on their way.
This rush lasted for two consecutive days.
On the way, we encountered either vast wilderness and Gobi desert, or dense forests and hills, which were rarely visited by people. The vastness and desolation of the world gave us a feeling of infinite insignificance.
In this endless wilderness, even if you have a route map, you may not be able to go in the right direction.
Ji Xunyi and others not only made no mistakes along the way, but also always found a safe place to stay before dark. It can be said that they know the way.
Chen Zheng, who was following along all the way, couldn't help but feel lucky to have these people as guides, otherwise this journey would have taken much more effort.
Until the evening of this day.
"The place to stay is right ahead!"
The sun set over the mountains and the sky became dark. As Ji Xunyi shouted in front of him, Chen Zheng behind him raised his eyes and saw the outline of a small town looming a few miles ahead.
As he quickly approached, he found that the town ahead was in a dilapidated state, with ruins and broken walls everywhere, and it looked as if it had suffered some kind of disaster.
Soon, everyone drove straight forward and entered this small town.
Chen Zheng looked around and found that the town was extremely desolate. Not only had most of the houses collapsed and turned into ruins, but there was no one around. It had obviously been completely abandoned.
But among the ruins, you can faintly see pieces of weathered white bones scattered around, which is eerie and strange.
And in this environment, there was actually a team among the ruins, which had already settled down and lit a bonfire.
This team seems to be the martial arts masters of a small business, with only six people.
Seeing Ji Xunyi and others, the leader of the team seemed quite nervous and announced his name from afar.
When they heard that Ji Xunyi was from the Thunder Martial Arts Center, these people were visibly relieved, and even came up to chat with smiles on their faces, as if they wanted to improve their relationship.
This place is not far from Lingqiu County. It is normal to meet people from other chambers of commerce. Ji Xunyi did not communicate too much with them, just exchanged a few words with them and then went elsewhere.
After searching around, he took the lead and came to a relatively intact compound, got off his horse and said:
"Let's stay here. If we drive for half a day tomorrow, we should be able to take a hot shower before dusk."
The other seven martial arts disciples all cheered, and Chen Zheng also dismounted and looked around curiously.
It had obviously been in ruins for a few years. Others were busy feeding the horses and lighting the fire. After he also helped with some chores, he asked Ji Xunyi:
"Brother Ji, what's the situation in this town? Everyone has moved away?"
Now that many doubts about Chen Zheng's origins have been dispelled, Ji Xunyi shook his head and said while feeding the horse:
"People either moved away or died."
Chen Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "A whole town is dead?"
"It's an evil demon, and it's a big one that's more terrifying than the ferocious ones among the evil demons."
Ji Xunyi sighed:
"More than thirty years ago, this place was rich in aventurine and was still a prosperous town. But one night, an unprecedented and terrifying demon came. More than 2,700 people in the town suffered, and only less than
More than a hundred people were able to escape, and since then it has become a dead town, and now it is an occasional place for businessmen to stay."
Chen Zheng was silent after hearing this.
The most powerful evil demon he has ever encountered is nothing more than that evil-level demon tree in the mountain forest. It is really hard for him to imagine a demon that is more terrifying than the evil-level one.
The original owner had also heard about this type of evil disaster in his memory, and even heard an ancient legend about an entire city being destroyed at the hands of evil spirits.
Although this kind of disaster may not occur for many years, once it occurs, it will definitely be devastating and thousands of people will lose their lives.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:
"What about the evil demon that massacred the town?"
Ji Xunyi thought for a while and said:
"It is said that the Execution Division invited a martial master who practiced in the mysterious realm from above to fight the evil demon until the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, and then he was completely killed."
"The Martial Lord who refines the mysterious realm"
After hearing this piece of history, Chen Zheng couldn't help but marvel.
Ninety-nine percent of the warriors in the world are struggling in the three secret realms of physical training, qi refining, and physical training. Those who can advance to the second secret realm are rare, let alone the highest secret realm of refining.
At this level, it can be said to be the top existence in the world, and it is hard to imagine what kind of means it has.
Of course, with a golden finger like the Emperor's Jade Certificate in his mind, Chen Zheng believed that he would reach such a level sooner or later.
soon.
The other martial arts masters also finished their work one after another, each found an open space to rest, and joined in after hearing the chat between the two.
After traveling together for three consecutive days, everyone was no longer too wary of Chen Zheng. In addition, Chen Zheng often talked about what he had seen in the mountains, so they got along more harmoniously.
After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so two people were left to watch the night, while the others slept against the wall.
Chen Zheng also found a sheltered corner and fell asleep against the wall.
The meditation practice of the Third Eye Refining Technique can largely replace sleep, so he spends most of the night practicing it, killing two birds with one stone.
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
The time soon arrived in the middle of the night.
The night is silent, the chill brought by the whining of the wind is deeper, and the piles of charcoal fires are burning slowly, bringing the only warmth and light.
In this courtyard, except for the sound of slight and even breathing, it was extremely quiet.
And just then.
"ah--!"
A shrill scream pierced the night sky and came suddenly.
Almost instantly, Ji Xunyi, Chen Zheng, and even other martial arts masters in the courtyard suddenly woke up.
Suddenly he stood up and looked for the sound.
"It's that small caravan, they were attacked!"
An experienced martial artist said immediately:
"Could it be that there is an evil spirit hiding in this abandoned town?"
In the dark night, the biggest threat is the wandering evil spirits. As long as they stay here, they cannot be alone. Ji Xunyi frowned and said cautiously:
"I'll go over and take a look. You guys stay here, be careful, and wait for news from me!"
All the martial artists agreed in unison, and saw Ji Xunyi's figure fly out in an instant, disappearing into the darkness with movements that were difficult to catch with the naked eye.
Before he could speak, Chen Zheng's eyes flickered, he looked at the other martial arts masters, and was about to take action:
"Everyone, it's a bit dangerous for Brother Ji to go there alone. I'll go with him to help him."
Um?
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven martial arts masters immediately became alert.
"etc!"
The first two, the more mature ones, pressed their knives with one hand and stared at them:
"Brother, you are joking. Our senior brother is a master who has changed his blood once. How can ordinary evil spirits hurt him?"
"We'd better stay calm and wait for news from him. What do you think?"
Ji Xunyi is actually a great master who has changed his blood?
No wonder the other party had the courage to invite a stranger along with him.
Seeing the slightly alert postures of several people, Chen Zheng had a thought and felt a little helpless.
It's so pitiful that he really doesn't have any ill intentions at all, he just wants to earn a fortune.
But looking at the alert postures of several people, it was hard for him to act rashly.
At the same time, in the darkness.
Swish, swish, swish!
Ji Xunyi's figure stirred up gusts of strong wind and flew past him. In a moment, he arrived at the area where the small caravan had settled.
In late autumn, the dark night is extremely cold, and there is a faint smell of blood in the cold air.
In just a few breaths, he followed the smell and the scarlet light of the bonfire and found the martial artist of the small caravan.
Next to a pile of scattered bonfires, several figures were seen lying in a pool of blood, making no sound.
Some had their throats torn open; some had a big hole in their chests and their hearts were missing; some were even shriveled and pale, as if their blood had been sucked out of their bodies, and their death was extremely miserable.
"What a beast!"
Ji Xunyi looked around coldly, but found no trace of the evil spirit.
boom!
All of a sudden!
In the darkness to his left, the ruins of earth and rocks exploded! At the same time, a figure like a demon or a ghost rushed out, and in the violent explosion of the wind, it pressed down on his head with a claw, and the momentum was extremely ferocious.
!
"court death!"
At the moment when the sudden change occurred, Ji Xunyi let out a sharp roar, twisted his waist, stepped forward, the sword at his waist unsheathed, like thunder exploding, he turned around to kill the suddenly attacking figure.
clang!
The thunderous sword light collided fiercely with the demonic intruder.
The opponent struck the blade with a sharp claw, and the air suddenly seemed to explode. Countless rocks and dust suddenly vibrated, shot straight into the sky, and were blown away by the strong wind that swept across the sky.
"Hey hey hey!"
When Ji Xunyi drew his sword to fight back, the collision only happened in an instant.
The demon-like figure laughed strangely, and then at an angle and trajectory that was contrary to common sense, its fingers stretched out, and it attacked again like an eagle catching a chicken.
With this grab, the shadows of bloody claws flickered, and a sense of cruelty spread out in all directions, making it unbearably violent.
Clang, clang, clang!
Ji Xunyi slashed away at the dragon and snake, and the slash was not like a blade, but a bolt of lightning, once again cutting all the claw shadows into pieces.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly that the person who suddenly arrived was an evil man with a pale face and blood-red eyebrows.
His strange eyes looked like a bloodthirsty demon in the dark, full of cruelty and teasing. He wore a pair of gloves with sharp claws on his hands, and he was not afraid of the blades on his hands.
What's even more incredible is that with every collision between the two sides, Ji Xunyi could feel a strong smell of blood and strange force penetration, causing his own energy and blood to vibrate slightly and float.
"Blood-draining demonic skills, heart-splitting blood claws, you are a remnant of the blood-soul path, a double demon of blood!?"
At this moment, when he finally realized the identity of the attacker, Ji Xunyi was extremely furious and had a murderous intention.
After being called out and his identity revealed, the figures of the evil men on the opposite side were flying around like ghosts. Jie Jie said with a strange smile:
"As expected of a master of the Thunder Martial Arts Gym, I have already had my blood changed once. Your blood must be delicious!"
boom!
Ji Xunyi's eyes were boiling with anger and murderous intent, and his blood was in full swing.
Blood Soul Tao is also one of the famous evil sects. It is an evil heretic that is listed as a must-kill by the Celestial Empire.
The inherited secret code of this sect is called the blood-draining magic technique. It can absorb the blood of warriors as nutrients, and the practice efficiency is extremely fast. It is the first-class evil technique in the world.
This kind of magic power is naturally not tolerated in the world. All the blood paths have been wiped out many years ago, but their inherited skills are scattered everywhere and have been obtained by many people.
The Blood Demon Twins are one of them.
There are two blood demons, one male and one female. The male is called Xu Liang and the female is named Yang Lan. They were originally a couple who made a living by performing jugglers in Lingqiu County. The two of them got a blood-draining magic skill from somewhere.
, practicing secretly killing people and drinking blood.
However, after three to five years of hard work, two couples who only knew a few basic skills were able to master both external and internal training, and even became masters who started to change their skills!
A few months ago, Shuangsha sensed something was wrong before the situation was exposed, and fled Lingqiu County to live in exile. Ji Xunyi did not expect to meet these two people here!
Just listen to the deafening roar of the blade.
The overwhelming sword light tore through the darkness with incomparable violence, shrouding the whole body of the evil man.
The extremely violent sword light caused its claws to shake violently, and within a few moves, it was afraid to get close and suddenly flew away.
Ji Xunyi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him and immediately turned around and left.
Two blood demons, one male and one female.
These two people may have used this abandoned town as a hunting ground, targeting the traveling trader groups that were coming and going as blood food.
And since I was attracted by the movement created by the male evil spirit, the female evil spirit would most likely attack and kill those fellow apprentices.
Although the female evil spirit is not as strong as the male evil spirit, it is still a great master who has begun to change its blood. It may be difficult for several brothers to resist it. How can he still fight in such a critical situation?
