Luo Xiu held a bloodstained battle sword in his hand and chased after him all the way. The blood stains on his mouth were not wiped off, and his clothes were somewhat torn, making him look somewhat disheveled.
"Haha, there's a way to heaven, you don't go, there's no door to hell, you break in!"
When Tian Guangyou saw Luo Xiu, he immediately looked up and laughed, with a fierce expression on his face, saying, "Hand over the Huoyang Fruit, Grandpa, I'll keep you a whole body."
He is a warrior with eight layers of Qi, and he never pays attention to the opponent's five layers of Qi.
Tian Guangyou has no brain, which does not mean that Zhang Haifei and Miao Feifei are also mentally dull.
Zhang Haifei saw the blood on Luo Xiu's sword and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Do you want Huoyang fruit? Of course you can."
Luo Xiu smiled slightly and said, "But you have to use your life to exchange it."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Tian Guangyou was about to say that you are a clever boy, but upon hearing the last sentence, he suddenly became furious and charged towards Luo Xiu with a sword in hand.
"I don't appreciate it, come and die for me!"
The radiance bloomed on the sword, and Tian Guangyou's killing intent was awe inspiring, with an extremely fierce attack.
"Brush!"
The sword in Luo Xiu's hand was swung, and the cold and shining sword brought a scorching blood.
Tian Guangyou's eyes widened and his body movements abruptly came to an end. Blood spurted out from his neck and he fell into a pool of blood with a thud.
The sword in his hand also broke in two pieces.
In the moment before, Luo Xiu swung his sword and cut off his sword, sealing his throat with one sword and killing him with one blow.
Upon seeing this scene, Miao Feifei's pretty face suddenly turned pale. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked into the nearby bushes.
Zhang Haifei also wanted to escape. Luo Xiugang's sword frightened him immensely. This kid's cultivation is definitely not as simple as the Five Elements of Qi Sea, and his battle sword can easily cut off the lower level battle sword of the human level. It is definitely a high-level warrior.
But when he was previously in charge of killing the Green Winged Demon Snake in the formation, his true energy was almost exhausted. Although he took a pill, he only recovered a little. He was afraid that he would be stopped before he could escape, so he suddenly rose up and grabbed Lu Mengyao beside him.
However, Luo Xiu launched a surprise attack, but his speed was faster than him.
A sword light slashed into the air, causing Zhang Haifei's face to change. He quickly withdrew his hand that was grabbing Lu Mengyao.
Luo Xiu's face remained expressionless, and he made a decisive and decisive move. In an instant, his sword swung horizontally and slashed towards Zhang Haifei's neck.
Zhang Haifei quickly took out a disc-shaped array device, and a light curtain lit up to protect him.
Luo Xiu's sword slashed on the light curtain, but it rippled like waves of water and did not break open. Zhang Haifei also used his strength to retreat and quickly fled.
As a third level array mage, Zhang Haifei's methods are comparable to those of an innate martial artist. If he were in his prime, he would naturally not be afraid of Luo Xiu, but at this moment he had to flee.
And what he triggered was a third order defense array treasure. With just one sword, Luo Xiu's defense light curtain suddenly dimmed. It is estimated that with another sword, the defense light curtain will shatter.
This situation undoubtedly indicates that the level of the sword in Luo Xiu's hand is definitely very high, and may even exceed the scope of human level combat soldiers. Is it not a ground level combat sword?
Zhang Haifei did not escape far, so Luo Xiu quickly caught up and the ground level battle sword pierced through the air.
With a popping sound, the defense light curtain shattered and collapsed, and the formation disk in Zhang Haifei's hand also made a clicking sound, revealing several cracks.
"Not good!"
Zhang Haifei's face changed greatly, and he quickly took out another jade talisman. Just as he was about to forcefully crush the talisman, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. A battle sword pierced through his body, and then his eyes turned black, losing consciousness.
Luo Xiu pulled out the battle sword, squatted down, and wiped the blood stains on the sword with Zhang Haifei's clothes.
He's not killing someone for the first time, and besides, he's also killing someone who deserves to be killed, so his mood doesn't have any ripples.
Pick up the jade talisman held in Zhang Haifei's hand, Luo Xiu looked at it and found that it was a windward talisman with a three-level windward array engraved on it. Once crushed, it would double the user's speed.
However, before Zhang Haifei could crush this windward talisman, he was killed by Luo Xiu with a sword. Otherwise, he might have really escaped.
Later, Luo Xiu put away Zhang Haifei's storage ring, which contained hundreds of inferior elemental stones, some pills, and several array treasures.
Lu Mengyao waited anxiously near the bushes, her expression somewhat worried.
A sound of footsteps came, and when he saw Luo Xiu returning, she breathed a sigh of relief. Since Luo Xiu had returned, it was obvious that he had killed Zhang Haifei.
"Are you okay?" Luo Xiu glanced at her and asked.
"I'm fine," Lu Mengyao shook her head and handed a storage wristband to Luo Xiu.
This storage wrist guard belongs to Tian Guangyou. After being killed by Luo Xiu, when he went to chase Zhang Haifei, it was collected by Lu Mengyao.
"Let's leave here first."
After a moment, Luo Xiu led the landing Mengyao back to the location of the grotto and used the Terrace Battle Sword to decompose the body of the Blue Winged Demon Snake.
When Lu Mengyao saw the body of the ten zhang long snake, she was almost stunned.
"How did he do it?" Lu Mengyao looked at Luo Xiu's back and felt even more that she didn't seem to understand him.
After collecting the materials of the Qingyi Demon Snake, Luo Xiu immediately led Landing Mengyao to leave the place. Zhang Haifei and Tian Guangyou were killed by him, but the woman Miao Feifei escaped. No one can say if they have any other companions.
In Luo Xiu's hand, there was a brief map of the Guanlei Mountains obtained from the Hunter Guild. After about half an hour, the two of them had already moved away from the previous area.
The range of the Guanlei Mountains is vast, and Luo Xiu dare not venture into the deep areas. Even if he plans to cross to Douhai County, Luo Xiu's plan is to only go through the periphery and bypass it.
When Luo Xiu told Lu Mengyao her thoughts, her expression showed a hint of sadness and she said, "Where do you plan to go after sending me to Leiwu Gate?"
"Let things be as they go, the world is home," Luo Xiu said with a smile.
Walking in the mountains and forests, the two of them fell silent for a moment.
With the ability of life perception, Luo Xiu will avoid some level three or higher monsters, and as he continues to deepen, his distance from Yunlong County has also become farther and farther.
From Zhang Haifei's storage ring, Luo Xiu found a book on the foundation of formation, which tells the foundation of the way of formation.
It's not surprising that Zhang Haifei is a third-order array mage with such books on his body.
In the past, Luo Xiu did not consider studying the art of formation, but after the incident with the Blue Winged Demon Snake, he discovered the power of the art of formation.
With the help of arrays, not only can the array mages refine various treasures, but they can also surpass their level to kill enemies. For example, Zhang Haifei, who has nine layers of Qi, can have the same strength as an innate martial artist with the help of a third-order array.
Unfortunately, what he wanted to hunt was the Blue Winged Demon Snake, which was far beyond the comparison of ordinary third level demon beasts, so his ultimate goal fell short.
When he was at the Qingyun Martial Arts Hall, Luo Xiu also learned some information about formations. It is said that the ways of formations are complex and profound, requiring extremely high talents to comprehend. Many formation masters study for a lifetime, which also delays their own martial arts progress.
As the saying goes, you cannot have both fish and bear's paws. If a person wants to achieve success in martial arts, they cannot be distracted from studying formations, refining pills, and forging.
However, those martial artists who focus on studying formations, refining alchemy, and forging are relatively inferior in terms of entering the martial arts realm.
Of course, it is said that there are also some exceptionally talented individuals who can balance both and achieve extremely high success.
Luo Xiu took out this foundation of formation, but in fact, he did not intend to embark on the path of formation, but only wanted to learn more about formation.
He is well aware that he will practice outside for years in the future and learn more about formation knowledge. If he encounters some martial artists who practice formation techniques, he will not be caught off guard.
At the edge of the Guanlei Mountains, as long as Luo Xiu was more careful, he wouldn't encounter any danger. As he got closer to Douhai County, perhaps knowing that the two were about to part ways, Lu Mengyao said even less and remained silent most of the time.
When Luo Xiu was studying the foundation of the formation, she would always stare at him in a daze, while Luo Xiu himself was completely unaware.
Luo Xiu didn't know what Lu Mengyao was thinking in his heart. When he started flipping through the basics of the formation, he was all attracted by the various mysteries explained by the way of the formation.
Formation can be said to be an alternative form of martial arts. Warriors use various materials to refine formation flags, engrave formation patterns, and runes to achieve the goal of pulling the power of heaven and earth for their own use.
During this process, the birth and death wheels of the heavens in Dantian autonomously rotate rapidly, and the first primordial rule diagram becomes increasingly clear in my mind. The patterns and strange shaped runes in the rule diagram actually contain the mysteries of the formation.
Not only that, the life and death pearl that blends with the soul also conveys a mysterious and indescribable meaning, making him feel that the so-called complex and profound formations are actually very simple.
Three days later, Luo Xiu had read through all the foundations of this formation book, and all the formation theories from level one to level three were also integrated by Luo Xiu, making him feel unbelievable.
However, Luo Xiu quickly understood that he didn't believe his intelligence was so powerful, it must be because of the relationship between the Life and Death Beads.
The Life and Death Pearl contains the fundamental Dao of heaven and earth, which encompasses all things. Everything evolves from its origin, and the formation is naturally within it.
In theory, Luo Xiu is now equivalent to having the level of a third level array mage, but all of this has not been practiced, and he cannot be completely certain.
Arranging an array requires the assistance of array flags. Most array mages use array flags that are commissioned to be crafted by casting masters. Then, the array mages engrave array runes on the array flags to create a powerful array.
Luo Xiu didn't have a formation flag in his hand, and although he was itching, he couldn't try to see if he could arrange a level three formation.
Unconsciously, Luo Xiu and Lu Mengyao have been in the Guanlei Mountains for half a month now.
During this period, Luo Xiu gained a lot, especially his understanding and insight into the way of formation, which left him with many questions that he had not understood before.
His cultivation has also steadily improved, and it won't be long before he can break through to the sixth level of Qi Sea.
The realm of martial arts is also rapidly rising, and the Quick Sword Technique has officially stepped from the past realm of small achievements to the realm of great achievements!
The Ten Directions Residual Shadow Body Method can also manifest eight residual shadows, and the speed becomes faster.
Time passed in each other's silence, and Lu Mengyao did not slack off in her own cultivation. Her cultivation was one step ahead of Luo Xiu, reaching the sixth level of Qi Sea.
This made Luo Xiu understand that his cultivation talent is not actually outstanding, at least Lu Mengyao's talent is definitely much better than him. The reason why he can achieve his current achievements is all due to the Life and Death Pearl.
"Having treasures like the Life and Death Beads, if I still can't make achievements in martial arts, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity given to me by fate?"
Luo Xiu is full of confidence in his future.
On this land, countless proud and talented individuals are pursuing the path to the pinnacle of martial arts. He grew up listening to the legends and biographies of countless powerful individuals, and at the age of fourteen, he also longs to become such a strong person himself.
