"Brat, you dare to hurt my wife! You're dead for sure this time. " The man's face was slightly twisted under the light of the short sword in his hand. He threw away the crossbow with his other hand and quickly took out a blood red pill from his bosom and threw it into his mouth.
It was obvious that the attack just now was far beyond common sense and he couldn't just casually use it.
Seeing this, Liu Ming shouted, "Watch my hidden weapon!" He raised his hand and a white object immediately shot towards the still twitching ugly woman on the ground. At the same time, he stomped on the ground with one foot and rushed into the dense forest like an arrow.
Seeing this, the man was first startled and then became angry. However, he couldn't really ignore the ugly woman on the ground and chase after the youth. He could only helplessly move his body and block in front of him. At the same time, he moved his wrist and used the bone sword to stab at the object flying towards him.
With a "hong" sound, the white object was hit by an invisible piercing light. However, it unexpectedly exploded.
A ball of greyish white powder scattered and covered the surrounding area of a few dozen feet.
Seeing this, the blue robed man shivered. How would he dare to let the powder touch his body? He suddenly held the bone sword horizontally in front of him and pressed his other hand into the empty space in front of him. He spat out the two words, "Yuan Bi".
In an instant, the bone sword faintly lit up and an invisible wave of air rolled out from it, sweeping away all the nearby powder.
Following this, the man quickly lowered his body and used his finger to touch a bit of the powder on the ground nearby. He smelled it and immediately became furious.
"It's actually just ordinary face dust. Stinking brat, I will definitely tear your body into ten thousand pieces. "
After the blue robed man cursed a few times, he checked on the ugly woman's condition.
In the end, the woman's hands were tightly grasping her neck and her breath was already faintly discernible. It seemed that she couldn't be saved at all.
"Madam, don't worry. I will take that brat's dog life right now. I definitely won't let you go on your way alone."
The blue robed man said through gritted teeth. He stood up again and held the bone sword in his hand tightly. Shouting "Light Body", he flew like a light wind in the direction that the youth had escaped in.
His movements were so fast that they were worlds apart from before. He was like a ghost.
Although he did not have much elemental energy in his body, with the help of the Qi and Blood Pill he had just taken, he could at least use a few more Qi cultivator techniques in the time it took to eat a meal. It was more than enough to kill a mortal.
…
Liu Ming jumped and ran with all his might in the forest. He felt his legs getting heavier and heavier. At the same time, his chest was abnormally hot. A few blood grooves were bleeding non-stop because of the intense exercise.
As for the old wound on his shoulder, it had completely flared up at this moment, causing half of his body to become sluggish.
However, Liu Ming did not have the slightest intention of stopping to bandage his wounds. He just decided on a certain direction and ran madly.
The scene before his eyes suddenly became clear. The young man had actually rushed out of the dense forest and appeared in a spacious area.
Not far from the end of the open space, there was a huge river that was hundreds of feet wide. The river water was surging fiercely, and from time to time, it would bring up white waves that swept downstream.
When Liu Ming saw this, he was delighted. However, he suddenly felt that his vision was slightly dark. He stumbled and almost fell directly to the ground.
He was shocked. He hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth. A trace of bloody taste suddenly filled his mouth. Only then, he could maintain his consciousness and stand firmly again.
However, at this moment, a man in a blue robe's extremely resentful voice suddenly came from the dense forest behind him,
"Brat, let's see where you can escape to!"
As soon as the voice sounded, the man in a blue robe flashed out from behind a giant tree. He leaped ten feet straight at the young man.
Liu Ming looked back and his heart trembled. Immediately, he fiercely threw the silver blade in his hand behind him and once again picked up his feet and madly ran toward the river.
The man in a blue robe only waved the bone sword in his hand, and the silver blade that was shot at him flew away. His body still floated toward the young man without any pause.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them chased more than a hundred feet away.
After a few leaps, Liu Ming finally ran to the river. He immediately leaped into the air and was about to jump into the surging river.
The man in a blue robe was still a few feet away from catching up to the young man. Seeing this scene, he was naturally very unwilling. He suddenly mobilized all the Yuan Li in his body and poured it into the bone sword.
In an instant, the bone sword was dazzling white!
The man gave a low shout and slashed into the distance. An almost invisible shadow of the sword shot out from the sword. After a flash, it strangely appeared behind the young man and stabbed into him.
"Pu!"
Liu Ming's abdomen was pierced by the shadow of the sword. His body then fell heavily into the river. Under the white waves, he disappeared without a trace.
The man in a blue robe chased to the river with two leaps. Looking at the surging river in front of him, he frowned.
Although he believed that under the full power of the practitioner weapon, the other party would have no chance of survival after falling into the surging river. However, he could not be at ease without seeing the corpse.
However, he was not good at swimming. With the speed of the river, even if he went down, the corpse would have already been washed away.
The man muttered in a low voice and lowered his head to look at the bone sword in his hand.
He saw that the practitioner weapon had completely lost its light and had completely returned to its original dull appearance.
The man in a blue robe stayed in the same place for a moment. After not seeing the young man's corpse surface from the nearby water, he could only helplessly leave.
… …
Three days later, beside an inconspicuous small river at the border of Chuzhou and Feng Yun County, two yellow-robed men, one tall and one short, were staring blankly at the embroidered robed corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time. They were speechless.
Apart from the corpses in front of the two of them, there were seven or eight other corpses dressed in gray robes in the bushes a little further away. Every single one of them had died in an extremely miserable manner. They were either cut in half from the middle of their bodies, or had half of their heads blown off.
"What do we do? The young master actually died so easily. How are we going to explain this to the clan head?" The one who spoke was a skinny man with a sword on his back. His face was thin and he had a pair of triangular eyes that gave off a very fierce feeling. At this moment, his face was full of worry as he asked his companion.
"Gu Lao San, you ask me, but who am I supposed to ask? Who would have thought that this' young master 'would be such an idiot. As a low level practitioner, he was actually so easily approached by a small thief and had his throat slit in a single stroke. Even with the spirit medicine that the clan head bestowed upon us, there is no way we can save him. "The other man with a tall stature said with an extremely vexed expression on his square face.
"Guan Lao Da, no matter how idiotic he is, he is still the adopted son of the clan. Furthermore, he did not hesitate to use a large amount of resources to purchase a spot in order to deliver it to the clan head. Now that he suddenly died halfway through, how are we going to face the clan head! I'm afraid that a beating from the Tian Sha Rod is unavoidable. "Gu Lao San sighed as he spoke, his face revealing a faint trace of fear.
"Hmph, if a beating from the Tian Sha Rod can really get us out of this, then we should be thanking the gods instead." Guan Lao Da's facial muscles twitched as he said something that caused Gu Lao San to be stunned.
"Guan Lao Da, what do you mean? You and I are genuine mid-level Qi Practitioners. Even though the patriarch loves this godson very much, do you think he would really kill us just because of this? "Gu Lao San stared at the fatty with widened eyes.
"Do you really think that this kid's identity is as simple as being the adopted son of the clan head? Even though this' young master 'has a Spiritual Pulse, his temperament is tyrannical and not the slightest bit likable. Furthermore, his family background is far from the clan head's. How could the clan head take a liking to him out of nowhere and adopt him? To tell you the truth, this' Young Master 'is actually an illegitimate child left behind by the head of the clan. The adopted son is just looking for an opportunity to take him back under his wing. "Guan Lao Da coldly laughed and said something that caused Gu Lao San to be dumbstruck.
"What, 'young master' is really the flesh and blood of the clan head? Guan Lao Da, how do you know such an important matter? "The skinny man stuttered.
"Forget it, there's no need to hide it from you now. You also know that I have a good relationship with the first lady's personal servant, Ling Er. Once, when she was defending her master, she blurted it out. How could this be false? "Guan Lao Da sighed.
"So that's how it is. I mean, even though the Barbarian Ghost Sect is one of the weakest sects in the Da Xuan Country, the Opening Spirit Ceremony spot is extremely precious. How could the Bai Clan let an outsider take it away? You have to know that once the Opening Spirit is successful, one will become a true Spirit Apostle. That is like reaching the heavens in one step. If he is lucky enough to become a Spirit Master, even His Majesty would have to treat him with respect. "Gu Lao San suddenly understood.
"It's not that easy to become a Spirit Apostle! Not only do you have to have a Spiritual Pulse, you also have to be under the age of fifteen to have the right to participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony. In the past, how many of the disciples who participated in the Opening Spirit Ceremony actually passed, and how many died during the ceremony? Even if they were lucky enough to survive, if they failed to open their Spirit, they would have to remain in the sect as a normal Practitioner for twenty years. This time, the clan head sent his illegitimate son to the Opening Spirit Ceremony as a gamble. Even though the Bai Clan has many disciples with Spiritual Pulses, most of the disciples that were sent to the other sects to participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony failed. Only a few survived and remained in the sect to serve as hard labor. Only Lady Yan was able to successfully open her Spirit and become a Spirit Apostle of the Heavenly Moon Sect. However, Lady Yan is still a girl and will eventually marry. The clan head naturally wants his own son to become a Spirit Apostle. This way, the Bai Clan's Practitioner Clan status can be maintained for the next ten years. "Guan Lao Da said disapprovingly.
"It seems like the clan head has high hopes for this young master. But the more he does this, the less hope we have of surviving when we go back. Why don't we just escape from the Da Xuan Country and not return to the Bai Clan? With our identity as mid-grade Qi Practitioners, we can do whatever we want no matter where we go. "Gu Lao San's eyes quickly turned a few times before he gritted his teeth and said.
