The sun was setting.
Although Anlan Mountain was a few thousand miles long, the part of it that was located in Yangshuo City was not very tall. With Xie Tian's speed, he was almost halfway up the mountain in 12 hours. As he walked and stopped along the way, the Dragon Leopard Wood in his backpack had already decreased by 20%.
To him, who was extremely lacking in Primordial Yang, climbing the mountain was an extremely effective form of cultivation. Not only did it cultivate his weak body, but it also cultivated his lack of experience and the timidity of entering the world.
No one knew how fast Xie Tian's heart was beating along the way. Even Chen Qin, who had reached Brute Force Level 7 and had been following behind him, could only see his calmness and steadiness.
Of course, the main reason was that Xie Tian was walking too slowly and steadily because he had to conserve his energy.
Therefore, Chen Qin, who had been following behind, was shocked by Xie Tian's steadiness and did not dare to make a move. Even though Xie Tian looked like he had lost all his Primordial Yang, he did not dare to make a move before he was certain of his opponent's strength.
Xie Tian also noticed the person behind him. He did not know why the other party was hostile towards him, but with the Evil Emperor's Level 1 Evil Kill Technique, he could sense the hostility.
Not only did the Evil Kill Technique allow him to sense the people and objects around him, more importantly, he now had a photographic memory. The four books on salted vegetables that had been burned were the best proof.
As he walked up the mountain, he could often hear the excited voices of warriors or the cries of wild beasts. Of course, it was also the other way around, such as the cries of humans or the roars of bloodthirsty beasts.
When Xie Tian saw the motionless corpse a few dozen feet away, he stopped in his tracks. After stopping for a few breaths' time, he deviated from the path and walked towards the corpse.
"Stop!"
Chen Qin waved his hand to stop the crowd from moving forward. He narrowed his eyes and observed Xie Tian's every move.
This was the first time Xie Tian had seen a dead person. He was not breathing, and his body was cold and motionless. Because he was sensitive to Primordial Yang, he also noticed that the last bit of Primordial Yang in the corpse was rapidly disappearing.
As if he could see his own future, his heart tightened. In order to resist this fear, he wasted some Primordial Yang energy, took a few deep breaths, and squatted down.
Removing the body armor from the corpse, Xie Tian saw a row of beast claw marks on the chest of the body armor, greatly reducing its defensive power. Xie Tian didn't think much of it and put it around his neck. He picked up the sword on the ground and examined it for a moment before throwing it away. This was because the sword was already bent and he didn't know how to use it.
Whatever he thought would be useful to him was taken off the corpses. He either wore them, put them in his pocket, or stuffed them into his backpack. Not long after, the corpses were all bare. Xie Tian had already changed his clothes.
Just as he was considering whether or not he should waste some energy to dig a hole to bury the corpse of the welfare delivery, the sound of footsteps gradually approached. Xie Tian turned around and saw a young martial artist in ragged clothes.
The young martial artist's eyes were filled with undisguised greed. What made him want was not the ragged body armor, but the egg that the crippled Xie Tian had stuffed into his backpack.
"Hand over the egg and cut off one of your arms, and I'll spare your life!"
Swoosh swoosh swoosh! The young martial artist's blood-stained saber drew a few flickering saber flowers as he approached Xie Tian step by step.
Xie Tian trembled as he took two steps back and stood still.
"You want to kill me."
"Hand over the egg and cut off one of your arms. If you say another word, you'll die!"
"You want to kill me."
Xie Tian trembled as he took another step back.
"Did you see that? When facing a Brute Force Level Five martial artist, he took two steps back to step over the corpse to avoid making any mistakes during the fight."
A strange light flashed in Chen Qin's eyes as he involuntarily voiced his brilliant judgment to the people behind him, "The second time he took a step back, he got out of the way of the bluestone that was half the height of a person. Not only did he have room to move, but he could also use the bluestone to block the opponent's saber when the fight starts!"
With this analysis, the eyes of the Chen family disciples lit up. They thought that Xie Tian had retreated due to fear, and they couldn't help but shrink back. They admired Chen Qin very much. This was a true expert.
However, Chen Qin guessed wrong. The first time Xie Tian retreated was due to the fear of a dangerous situation. He had never fought in his life, so how could he talk about a life and death battle? The second time was because Xie Tian felt that he had no way to retreat after taking a step back.
"Die!"
A saber light came down from above, and the wind from the saber approached his face. Xie Tian couldn't help but close his eyes. The fear that he had forcefully suppressed suddenly erupted and instantly occupied his mind.
I'm going to die …
When this thought appeared in his mind, his eyes were already half-closed and were about to close completely. At this moment, he didn't know what stimulated him, but his eyes suddenly burst open!
"Golden Snake Comes Out of Its Hole!"
The young martial artist widened his eyes, ready to admire the sight of a cripple being split in half, only to see a golden light flash before his eyes. The next moment, he felt his body lighten, and his chest hurt. A mouthful of warm blood involuntarily surged up his throat.
Poof!
Bang!
"What, what move is this!"
Chen Qin couldn't believe what he saw!
Why did Xie Tian's body become so soft, sticking to the blade like a snake and getting close to the young martial artist?
Why did his right fist accelerate three times in a row, making it impossible to defend against it?
What kind of power was hidden in that seemingly weak body to be able to send a Brute Force Level Five martial artist flying four to five feet away with one punch?
What kind of cultivation did Xie Tian, who seemed to have lost his Primordial Yang on the surface?
How, how strong was he …
…
Chen Qin, whose mind was instantly occupied by countless questions, did not see what happened next, nor did he see the people behind him bending over and vomiting.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
Xie Tian forcefully suppressed the trembling of his body. He walked to the side of the young martial artist and spoke in Silence.
"That, that egg is priceless …" The young martial artist was terrified to death. He had previously thought that Xie Tian's silence was cowardice, but now he knew that this silence belonged to the calmness of killing. He had provoked someone he shouldn't have.
Xie Tian nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he sat on the young martial artist's stomach and punched the young martial artist's head. The bloody scene lasted for twenty breaths of time before it ended.
Shaking off the red and white paste on his fist, Xie Tian began to search the martial artist's body. At this moment, the Chen family disciples began to vomit. They could not believe that Xie Tian was so cruel. The opponent was clearly on the verge of death, so why did he smash his head?
Unfortunately, they did not know that this was the first time that Xie Tian had been killed, and also the first time that he had killed someone. Before this, he was just a blank piece of paper that happily stayed in his courtyard and cultivated behind closed doors. He was afraid.
Because he was afraid of death, when the martial artist's saber fell, he closed his eyes and waited for death. But when he truly understood what death meant to him, he knew that he could not die, so he began to desperately resist!
Xie Tian, who had never exchanged blows with anyone before, subconsciously chose the first move of the Golden Snake Leaping Heaven Fist from the second book. He did not know if this move would allow him to dodge the martial artist's saber. He did not know if he could hit the martial artist. He did not know if the martial artist would die. Everything was unknown.
Because of the unknown, he was even more afraid.
Fortunately, he had severely wounded the other party in one move and saved his life. It was because of this outcome that he understood many things and also had many doubts. And these doubts could only be answered by learning.
So he asked the martial artist why he wanted to kill him. After comparing the martial artist's answer with the Evil Kill's, he understood that even if he handed over the egg and cut off his right arm, the other party would still kill him.
Why?
Because he was weak, and the strong did not need a reason to kill the weak.
To him, this was the most important doubt. Now that he had obtained the answer, he wanted to become stronger. Only by becoming strong would he not be killed by the strong and continue on his path.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to waste his precious Yuan Yang. As he savored the fear and disgust of killing, he punched the martial artist's head. He carefully felt the smell and temperature of the blood, carefully felt the changes in the martial artist's Yuan Yang, carefully listened to the martial artist's gradually weakening breathing, and carefully learned how to become stronger …
This was the heart of the strong. Although he was afraid, he still moved forward bravely.
Looking deeply at the stone that had witnessed his first kill, Xie Tian went on his way again. Chen Qin also woke up from his endless doubts. As soon as he woke up, he smelled a pungent sour smell coming from the ground.
Everyone's narration brought Chen Qin into the abyss of fear. He was 15 years old this year and was at the seventh level of the Brute Force Realm. He was one of the five great geniuses of the younger generation in Yangshuo City. He had seen dozens of people die and killed four with his own hands. Even so, he was afraid.
Because of this fear, he paid more attention to Xie Tian. Therefore, his goal in following him was no longer to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xie Tian, but to understand this ruthless genius of the Xie family as much as possible.
The disappearance of the hostility made Xie Tian turn his head to look at Chen Qin before continuing to climb the mountain.
"What a terrifying gaze …"
Xie Tian had already left for a while, but Chen Qin was still standing there motionlessly. It was as if the pair of dead eyes still existed in front of him. He could not read any emotion from those eyes, only indifference.
This kind of indifference made Chen Qin tremble with fear. He did not know what Xie Tian's gaze meant. Was it a warning, or was it a warning …
"Brother Qin, are we still following?"
"Go back and wait for him in town!"
Chen Qin turned around and left without hesitation. He realized that he was really afraid. What he was afraid of was not only the dead eyes, but also the journey Xie Tian would continue on. The peak of Anlan Mountain was the grave of all Brute Force Realm warriors.
The moment Chen Qin and the others disappeared from their sight, Xie Tian suddenly fell to the ground. His face quickly turned pale and his body was cold. He kept twitching. Just one punch had used up 80% of the Primordial Yang in his body and he was on the verge of death.
However, there was no fear in his eyes even though he was on the verge of death. There was only a trace of joy in his eyes. He had successfully scared off the group of people who wanted to kill him.
Slowly turning over, he took out a piece of Dragon Leopard Wood and swallowed it with difficulty. When that maddening burning pain appeared in his body again, Xie Tian used the power of the pain to stand up and cultivate the Essence Cultivating Technique.
When the Mad Old Man saw this scene, he could not help but be speechless. For a young and inexperienced youth to have such a performance was completely beyond his imagination. He knew very well that Xie Tian had been afraid along the way, but what was fear to Xie Tian?
It was to overcome and overcome!
And in this soul-stirring series of events, Xie Tian had displayed an all-around superb perception and intelligence. This was what the Mad Old Man valued the most. Unfortunately, Xie Tian had a fatal flaw.
"Sigh, there are still two and a half months left. Can you find a way to survive …"
