At dusk.
A three-meter-long python was hiding in the dense bushes, its cold tongue constantly testing the scent in the air. Its pupils reflected a spring pool and a woman in white wearing a veil who was sitting quietly on a stone by the water.
The clear water of the pond, like a mirror, reveals the snow-white skin of the woman in white. Her face is covered by a veil and black gauze, and her long hair, like a waterfall and silk, is scattered behind her. As the breeze blows on the water, the white dress vaguely outlines her graceful figure.
The next moment, the woman in white gently touched the water to test the temperature. The water was still shallow and not cold.
Then the woman moved slightly, took off her long boots and white socks, revealing a pair of snow-white feet, and slowly reached towards the water. The moment her toes touched the water, they curled up nervously and playfully, and her pink toenails reflected the ripples on the water. The shade of the mulberry trees did not move, and the woman's chest trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and made up her mind to sink her feet into the water. The gurgling clear water gently wrapped around the woman's feet, no longer covering her delicate and slender ankles.
Feeling the coolness of the water, the woman playfully stirred up the water. Drops of round pearls jumped out of the water, then rushed back into the water, back to her feet, sliding through the gaps between her white toes, happily shuttling back and forth.
Taking advantage of the woman playing in the water, the giant python cautiously twisted its body forward, making almost no friction sound with the dead grass and leaves on the ground, and quietly came behind the woman, constantly spitting out its cold tongue, sensing the information of the prey in front.
In its perception, this woman was as ordinary as an ordinary animal.
No danger, you can eat it!
Suddenly, the jungle made a clear sound of broken leaves rubbing against each other, and a hideous and terrifying giant mouth pounced towards the woman in white. It seemed that the woman was about to be swallowed into its stomach in the next moment.
An inexplicable deep chill instantly swept across its spine and spread throughout its body.
A flash of sword light cut through the quiet space, and the woman in white in the snake eyes turned around calmly. Under the veil and black gauze, her holy and pure eyes looked over leisurely.
With a sizzling sound, the headless snake body collapsed on the ground and formed a pool of red blood. The figure standing next to it shook his wrist lightly, and the blood beads on the green scroll sword fell to the ground. The Qi returned to the spiritual sea and traveled all over the body. The figure put away the sword in his hand and said to the woman in front: "Master, I am late in picking herbs."
That's right.
The man and woman beside the water pond in this unfamiliar forest were Su Yun and his new master.
As early as two days ago.
After Su Yun became a disciple at Huanxi Temple, he informed the temple that he was in seclusion and took the opportunity to close the gate of his cave. He left only a wisp of his spiritual consciousness in the cave to warn people. His real body followed his master and left Huanxi Temple and came to this unnamed forest.
During these two days, the two of them spent their daily time together, eating and sleeping together, and many interesting things happened between them. For example, when the master didn't know her name and didn't want to tell it, after Su Yun's repeated questioning, the master finally told her name: 'Yue Qier'.
During the period, she also told Su Yun a lot of her own stories, most of which were about her master Yue Qier when she was young and wandered around Jiuzhou as a casual cultivator. It was a pity that the story ended abruptly when she talked about the time when she had a fight with an outstanding disciple of Zuiqingxuan and was injured and fled, which really whetted Su Yun's appetite.
"It's already 12:00 p.m., it's a little late today."
The master's always elegant voice gently penetrated into his ears. Su Yun didn't think he had any intention of blaming him for being late, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I was entangled by a quasi-third-grade monster on the way, and it took me some time to get out."
The so-called demon beasts are animals on the continent that have been contaminated with spiritual energy and have embarked on the path of cultivation. Among them, those raised by immortal sects or monks are called spiritual beasts. Those scattered in the mountains and wilds of various places and those that prey on humans are called demon beasts.
Generally speaking, the older a monster grows, the stronger it becomes. It can be divided into five grades according to its strength, with grade one being the strongest and grade five being the weakest.
Their levels and strengths all correspond to the cultivation levels of the human race. A quasi-third-grade monster is equivalent to a cultivator at the half-step transformation realm. It is already very difficult for Su Yun, who is at the third level of Gui Ling, to escape from it.
"oh!?"
After hearing Su Yun's words, Yue Qier's face under the veil showed a little surprise.
The forest where the master and disciple are now is called Hengduan Forest. It has extremely complex terrain and is nearly the size of a state. It spans half of the territory of the barbarians and the northern end of Daxia. It is an unmanaged area with few human traces.
Because of this, the Hengduan Forest naturally became a paradise for the beasts. This was also due to the monsters' innate concept of territory and the law of the survival of the fittest. The closer to the center of the forest, the stronger the monsters would become.
What surprised Yue Qi'er was that the two of them had only penetrated ten miles into the Hengduan Forest and were still in the outermost area, which was the habitat of first-grade and quasi-second-grade monsters.
Under normal circumstances, you will not encounter a quasi-third-grade monster beast hunting at the outermost area.
Thinking of this, Yue Er asked: "What kind of monster is that?"
Su Yun nodded and began to describe truthfully:
"It looks like a tiger, with black dog-like hair all over its body. It is about three feet long, with a human-like face, drooping eyes, pig fangs, and a ten-foot-long tail behind it. There is black mist at the end of the tail, which will burn anyone who touches it."
"It's actually Tou Taowu."
According to Su Yun's description, the appearance of this monster is very consistent with the image of Taowu that Yue Qier had seen before.
But Taowu is very different from ordinary monsters. They are not beasts that have been contaminated by spiritual energy and started to practice, but strange beasts that were born and raised naturally. They have the supreme status in the beast clan, and strange beasts are born with good fortune. Even in their larval state, no third-grade or even second-grade spirit beasts would want to offend them.
Therefore, strange beasts like Taowu usually stay in the deepest part of the forest, receiving food from all the beasts in the forest, just like emperors on earth.
"Let's go and meet that strange beast." At this time, Yue Qi'er lifted her white feet from the water, put on her white socks and long boots, stood up from the stone with great interest, raised her veil slightly and looked into the distance: "Which direction is it?"
As the stone surface where Yue Er was standing was quite high, Su Yun, who had just returned after killing the giant python, was standing right in front of his master. When his master stood up, the original direct gaze became a look from above.
When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world.
From Su Yun's perspective, Yue Qi'er was dressed in a fluttering white dress that fit tightly against her body, outlining her flawless figure. Her two inverted jade bowls were held tightly by a waist belt, as if she was about to take off her clothes at any time.
—————————
call--
Su Yun took a long breath and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.
In this short month, he had seen the plump figures of his wet nurse and Huang Feng when they were having an affair, he had also seen the delicate figure of his aunt Su Qingli, and he had caught a glimpse of the beautiful body of his mother Shangguan Yuhe.
Even though he was still a young man, no matter how ignorant he was, he understood the difference between men and women. Su Yun was a cultivator, and also a man. The physical fragrance of Chen Xiang over the past few days had brought him countless blows, but it had also brought him indescribable desires.
Now facing a woman's body at such a close distance, Su Yun's heart was in turmoil, but he knew it was inappropriate after carefully considering the relationship between master and disciple. He immediately took a long breath, shifted his gaze to the southeast, and whispered, "That direction."
Yue Er, who stood up, was not looking at the same direction as Su Yun, so she naturally did not notice anything unusual about Su Yun. After looking in the direction Su Yun was looking, she grabbed Su Yun's collar, and the pool of water under her body turned into a mist platform, carrying the two of them and flying in that direction.
Flying in the air is a display of strength of those in the Dongxu Realm, and only those in the Dongxu Realm can do it.
But it does not mean that other cultivators do not yearn to fly in the air. Usually, cultivators in the Guiling Realm use swords or refine other objects to assist in flying, and cultivators in the Huayun Realm also use the energy of nature to assist in flying, such as water, clouds, wind, etc.
Whether it was the trick of Yue Qi'er controlling water and turning into a dragon when she became a disciple in the cave before, or the trick of riding the water and mist that she used now, both showed that her strength in cultivation was at least at the Huayun realm. In Su Yun's opinion, Yue Qi'er's ability to control energy freely was probably much stronger than that of her wet nurse.
Could it be that the master has reached that level?
Is it the peak of Huayun Realm, or does it mean that one has stepped half a foot into Dongxu Realm?
The sound of the wind whizzed past Su Yun's ears. The last trace of dusk in the distance had become blurred. The glow that nourished the forest gradually faded. The mist in the air rippled in circles. With just one sprint, the two moved nearly three miles.
The powerful one is so terrifying~
Su Yun, who was hovering in the air and being carried like a chicken, pointed downwards: "Master, look, it's right there."
In the lush forest, a weird-looking beast was feasting on the corpse of a dead monster.
It seems that after Su Yun got rid of it, it quickly found other prey.
"Sure enough, it's a Taowu, interesting." Yue Qi'er turned his gaze to the Taowu below and said calmly: "I don't know if this little beast has very bad luck, or..."
As she was speaking, the mist under Yue Qi'er's feet dissipated, and she slowly landed on the ground carrying Su Yun.
The monsters were very cautious while eating. Taowu soon noticed two figures coming from the sky. He immediately stopped eating, turned towards the two men, and put on a threatening look as if he was ready to pounce at any time.
The intelligence of the third-grade monsters is not low, not to mention the strange beast Taowu. Although it cannot speak, its thinking is already comparable to that of adult humans.
Soon, Taowu recognized Su Yun from the falling figures, the powerful human who had escaped from its hands not long ago. The one next to him was the help he sought after his escape?
It is hard to understand why this human race, which does not know its own limits and strengths, has dangerous signals in its bloodline genes since childhood.
After looking at Yue Qi'er for a while, Taowu moved on all fours, turned around and ran away without hesitation, trying to get away from the woman who made him feel fear in his blood.
"Where are you going?"
Yue Qi'er's soft and leisurely voice echoed among the trees. After it fell on the ground, a vast amount of spiritual energy penetrated into the earth the moment Yue Qi'er stepped on the ground.
Su Yun on the side clearly felt that after these vast spiritual energy merged into the ground, it began to spread according to a certain pattern. This way of using spiritual energy was the first time he had seen it.
"Little beast, it's your good fortune to meet me before you grow up and bring harm to the world. If it were them, they would either kill you with a sword or turn you into ashes, or imprison you until you die."
Looking at Taowu fleeing into the distance, Yue Qier was not at all panicked. She just raised her hand and said slowly, "Qian Gua, the mountain in the earth."
After he finished speaking, Yue Qi'er remained standing still. Su Yun was pondering over the wonderful words spoken by his master.
Rumble, rumble—
Countless rumbling sounds were heard all around the forest, and mud was flying all over the sky. Suddenly, a towering earth mountain rose up within a half mile radius. Its shape was straight and vertical. If you climb it with your bare hands, you will probably not be able to climb up.
After running wildly for not long, Taowu soon found that he had blocked his way, and these earthen hills made a whole circle, trapping him to death.
Su Yun didn't quite understand this magical method.
Looking at Su Yun who was in deep thought, Yue Er, as his master, quickly began to explain: "You usually practice in the Sword Pavilion, you must be obsessed with swordsmanship, and you have never understood or seen the methods of other cultivators, right?"
Su Yun, who admired his mother so much, had spent a lot of time on the three-foot-long sword in his hand since he was a child. He regarded any cultivation methods other than sword as unorthodox, and therefore had never understood or seen these methods.
Su Yun could only smile bitterly and responded: "Indeed."
After hearing this, Yue Er felt a sense of pride that Shangguan Yuhe had failed to educate Su Yun, but she herself could do it. Her appearance under the veil showed a bit of pride:
"The immortal way has been around for so many years, and many special ways have emerged from it. For example, the talisman way of the Immortal Palace, the craftsman way of Zuiqingxuan, the sword way of your Sword Pavilion, and the Taiqing way of many immortal cultivation sects."
"Below are some relatively rare sects, such as the Dao of Alchemy, the Confucianism of Scholars, the Buddhism of Monks, the Humanity of Kyushu, etc. The method I just used is called the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao."
Su Yun's eyes were full of surprise. "I'm used to following the old ways, but now that I hear this for the first time, it's like a sudden enlightenment. So what kind of Taoism is Master's Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao?"
Yue Er accepted Su Yun as her apprentice, so of course she would not hide her true self from others:
"The Yin-Yang Dao is based on the Way of Heaven, so it has the magical means of observing celestial phenomena and fortune-telling. After the development of later generations, a new skill has gradually been extended from it, which is the magic circle."
"Magic circle?"
"The so-called Heavenly Dao is the law that hides and controls all the rules and operating logic of all things in the world. Under it are four plates: time, space, heaven, earth, man and god. The four plates are divided into yin and yang, the Eight Trigrams and the Nine Palaces, which can be used for astrology and divination."
Actions speak louder than words, so Yue Er raised her hand and said, "What I just did was to deploy spiritual energy to develop four formations, and control all the rules within a radius of half a mile in my hands."
"Gu Gu, wind under the mountain." "Xiao Guo Gu, thunder on the mountain."
As Yue Qi'er finished speaking, a howling mountain wind suddenly arose, bending the bowl-sized trees around. The figure of Taowu hiding in the distance was gradually revealed. There was not a single dark cloud in the sky, and a deafening thunder was heard suddenly. Lightning flashed in the air, as if it was waiting for Yue Qi'er to think about it and strike the strange beast below.
"Controlling the laws of nature, this is a method that only those at the Supreme Dao Realm can possess, but it is in the hands of an 'ordinary cultivator'. Doesn't it seem a little unbelievable?"
The power of heaven and earth can be controlled at will by someone. What kind of strength is this!
Su Yun stood with his sword in his hand. For the first time, he questioned the sword path he adhered to.
If he could cultivate to the Huayun realm one day, would every strike of his sword be able to produce a similar earth-shattering effect? However, this thought only existed for a moment in Su Yun's mind.
In the past, Jian Ge was able to dominate the vast Jiuzhou for a thousand years, and even became the "only one" for a period of time. These are enough to illustrate the potential of sword cultivation.
Similarly, although Su Yun had never seen the battle of his mother Shangguan Yuhe, the number one swordsman in Jiuzhou, he had a vague feeling that his mother's sword would not be inferior to his master's ingenious formation.
Yue Qi'er, who had been observing quietly nearby, witnessed the change in the young man beside her from shock to indifference. The complacency in her heart turned into sour anger.
He also thought that he could show off his prowess in front of his disciple, and then his disciple would come to him and ask him to teach him this skill.
But what about this stupid disciple?
Yue Er suddenly stopped what he was doing, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The fact that you can escape from Taowu's hand also proves that you have the ability to change hands. Its strength is suitable for you to practice. It would be great to show your Green Scroll Sword Skill to me how you are progressing."
"Ah...Okay then, Master."
Su Yun paused for a moment and looked at his master with some confusion, but the veil blocked Yue Qi'er's appearance, so he couldn't see what his master was thinking. He could only think that his master was trying to teach him.
After responding, he picked up his sword and ran towards Taowu.
Yue Qier was left standing there in a daze. After a while, she stomped her feet on the ground in anger, muttering, "You're so stupid, just like your father!"
Oh, oh, oh.
The cultivator in the Guiling Realm suddenly burst into flying clouds and lightning, and the strong wind blew beside his ears. Naturally, Su Yun did not hear the complaints of his master.
What's more, not far ahead, there was lying a strange beast whose cultivation was seven small realms higher than his. This was not the previous escape battle, but a formal battle. It was the strongest opponent he had ever faced since he started practicing.
Even though he had his master looking after him, Su Yun did not act arrogantly. He ran forward with his body as low as possible. Strong energy burst out from his hands, forming wisps of black hair on the outer layer. The arm holding the sword was visibly bulging with tendons.
call out--
The green sword was unsheathed, and the sharp sound of the sword resounded through the forest. Although the momentum was not as strong as the previous sword attack against his aunt, it was more restrained. Su Yun did not dream of subduing Taowu with one sword, so he did not waste too much spiritual energy in this first sword attack. Only a part of it was used on the tip of the sword. All he needed was a little bit, precision!
The sword was wielded with a sinister intent, aiming straight for Taowu's head.
However, the beastmen are naturally extremely sensitive to danger. The moment Su Yun drew his sword, Taowu's lurking figure immediately moved. The swift sword stabbed into the air. Taowu's long tail swung violently, sweeping up the black mist and hitting Su Yun, which was both blocking the sword and counterattacking.
Su Yun's reaction was also quick. After seeing Taowu's move, he immediately turned around and chose to hold the green scroll with his right hand, changing his moves.
When facing an opponent stronger than yourself, it is impossible to hold back and hide. If you underestimate the enemy and do not use powerful tactics, you will undoubtedly be defeated.
For a moment, the forest was filled with cold sword shadows. Within three steps around Su Yun, there was an invisible sword energy barrier. No matter whether it was small flowers and grass, or Taowu's black mist, all things that escaped into this space were turned into dust.
There are five moves in Green Scroll Sword Technique, and their names are Lianyun, Pingji, Yuanliu, Yaoguang and Taixuan.
These five moves are not strong or weak but each has its own mystery. The threshold for practicing is not difficult. The sword practitioner only needs to learn the Green Scroll Sword, exercises, and sword skills at the same time. The power exerted depends entirely on the spirit of the person wielding the sword, as well as his proficiency in sword skills. There is no upper limit after that.
Therefore, it is not difficult to get started practicing Green Scroll Sword Technique. The difficulty lies in whether the sword practitioner practices diligently and has a good understanding of the way of swordsmanship.
Among them, the sword skill 'Lianyun', the mystery of this move lies in its multiplicity, one sword turns into thousands of swords to form a field, the more sword energy is transformed into, the bigger the field is, within the field, all things will be exploited by the sword energy again and again until they are shattered.
Since Su Yun obtained the sword manual, he has spent almost all his energy on it, but he has also tried to transform one sword into hundreds and construct a small domain.
But it is enough to deal with monsters that have not yet broken through the third level.
After receiving the attack, Taowu's eyes were fierce, and his retracted tail was covered with several bloody sword marks. Now it was not only the existence of the woman in the center of the forest that made it wary, but even the human in front of it could obviously pose a threat to it.
To die! ?
"Ah~"
There was unwillingness in the beast's roar, and Taowu's eyes gradually revealed a bloodthirsty red light from darkness. His body muscles bulged exaggeratedly as he bent his body with all his strength. Long sharp blades extended from his four palms, and purple horizontal stripes appeared on his skin. The black mist from his tail gradually spread out, reaching a size of several feet.
Su Yun's face changed slightly, and then he concentrated on moving his sword forward. This strange beast was about to get serious.
Boom! Swoosh!
The black fog becomes the wind, and the green sword becomes like a dragon.
The two figures moved almost at the same time. Taowu's claw blade kicked to block the sword light that was falling down. The black mist swelled, and it rushed towards Su Yun with an unstoppable momentum.
Su Yun did not use Lianyun to cancel the black fog. The real fighting was a matter of a split second. It was easy to have flaws when using the same moves on the same opponent. So he suddenly bent his knees and kicked down to avoid Taowu's attack. Two pits were stepped on the ground, and Su Yun's figure suddenly jumped into the air.
The sword's edge turned into a hunting sound, showing a terrifying momentum.
Taowu below decisively chose to half-bend his waist, allowing the sword tip to scratch the skin, leaving a streak of blood. Before Su Yun could change his moves, the bloody mouth quickly bit towards Su Yun.
It could have chosen to avoid Su Yun's sword that fell from the sky, but the monster was also intelligent and cunning. It thought it was a great deal to bite off a head while suffering some damage.
Seeing this scene, Yue Qier's breathing held slightly.
Su Yun had been under the protection of Shangguan Yuhe for a long time and lacked combat experience, so he planned to rely on the dodging advantage of the human body to strike first. After tricking Taowu's most powerful tail, he jumped into the sky and caught the opponent off guard.
However, he didn't know that the strange beasts were not stupid, and that the beastmen's most skilled and sharpest weapon would always be their big mouths.
Just as she was about to rescue Su Yun, an accident occurred.
Facing the bloody mouth, Su Yun smiled indifferently at Taowu, and suddenly raised his left hand that was not holding the sword, stretched out his thumb, index finger, and little finger, and clasped the rest of his fingers together: "Transplantation!"
A dignified swordsman is using magic. Was this taught by Shangguan Yuhe, or is this a new way of fighting for the Sword Pavilion monks?
As the words fell, the figure in front of Taowu who was about to be bitten to death by it suddenly turned into thousands of white and pink peach blossoms, the fragrance of the flowers was rich and intoxicating.
Yue Que'er, who was far away, gave up her rescuing hand. Only a few years had passed, and she had forgotten even her skills.
In Jiange, Shangguan Yuhe is not the only one who is capable of teaching Su Yun.
Pei Wan, although only at the Huayun realm, her original flower sea magic had once made her famous in the world of immortal cultivation. If she had not been convinced by Su Qingshan and accepted as a sword servant, she would probably still be training in Jiuzhou now, or have established her own sect to enjoy "offerings".
Su Yun has wood spiritual roots and is naturally fond of water. How could Pei Wan not teach him about the sea of flowers?
The peach blossoms did not appear for a moment, but were released continuously. From Yue Qier's perspective, a sea of flowers inexplicably appeared in the lush elm forest, and Taowu and Su Yun were surrounded by thousands of petals.
The petals produced by the flower-transferring technique will have a unique fragrance, which will constantly affect the enemy's perception of the eyes and ears. However, this effect is ineffective for the caster. The sword in Su Yun's hand has accurately aimed at the bewildered Taowu: "Ping..."
"presumptuous!!!"
—————————
The heaven and earth shook suddenly, and an indescribable huge pressure hit the entire forest.
For a moment, the birds and beasts stopped singing and the sea of flowers suddenly disappeared, forcing Su Yun to retract his move and stick his sword into the ground to barely stand under this pressure.
A twisted crack in the void appeared ten thousand meters in the air. There was only one kind of existence in this world that had the ability to break through the void and suddenly descend, and that was a strong man in the Cave Void Realm!
When Su Yun was surprised at the appearance of the inexplicable strong man, a golden light suddenly appeared in the gap of the void, mixed with powerful energy and struck him. Su Yun was confused, and his figure was quickly pulled away and returned to Yue Qier.
Under the golden light, an extremely huge deep pit appeared. Taowu on the side looked at the crack with an extremely excited expression. There was salvation!
thunderbolt--
The loud noise of tearing space apart was so deafening that it made people's ears ring.
Then, a strange beast with a horn on its forehead and covered with silver hair, which looked like a Qilin, stepped out from the void. The Qilin was not as big as a horse, but it soared in the air and exuded an aura of dominance that looked down on all living beings all the time.
"A cave-level monster, Master...quickly give me the Sky Escape Card...Okay, Master?"
Su Yun's reaction was still very quick. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately asked his master for the Tiandun Token that was taken away when he entered the forest for training. He planned to use it to contact his mother for rescue. However, when he saw his master's calm demeanor, Su Yun swallowed his words back.
Before the suddenly appearing Dongxu strange beast could start to question him, Yue Qier spoke first with anger: "After beating the younger one, you come to the older one. That's great of you. This person attacked me without even looking at me. Did you become more powerful after entering Dongxu? Do you think you are so great?"
Su Yun: ("゜ロ゜)"
Su Yun coughed and let out a breath. Judging from his master's clothes and appearance, he thought that he should be a rather leisurely person. He never expected that his temper was comparable to his mother's.
But the beast flying above is the Dongxu monster. Even if we use the Tiandun card to ask mother for help, it will still take some time. How long can one of us, who is at the peak of Guiling and the other one of Huayun, hold out? Is it really okay to be so stubborn?
"Who are you!?"
"Come down here."
How could Yue Qi'er tolerate a strange beast showing off its power above her head, especially when this strange beast almost chopped off her precious disciple whom she had finally retrieved. She raised her hand and waved it lightly, and a hole appeared in the void. The sudden repulsive force pressed the strange beast to the ground.
Su Yun couldn't understand his master's operation. The beast that looked like a unicorn was pressed to the ground. He turned his head repeatedly to confirm, and finally seemed to understand something.
The master is Dongxu, a strong man like my mother!!
The Qilin, which was so majestic just now, fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner. Not only that, the moment it fell to the ground, its limbs were restrained by the spiritual energy of Yue Qier's formation.
Obviously Yue Er didn't want to give it a chance to fight back, so he used all the strange tricks in the formation on the Qilin.
It is almost impossible for a Dongxu to kill another Dongxu without cost, but the premise of no cost is that both sides are on guard. Coincidentally, Yue Qier never exposed her Dongxu realm cultivation before she made her move this time. When hiding her strength, she also set up a small formation in advance. When facing the enemy, she only needs to increase the output of spiritual energy to expand to the Dongxu level.
It was unlucky for Qilin to get beaten.
But it cannot be said that it has no ability to fight back. Although it has fallen into the trap, it can still break free by force.
The reason why it didn't do so was because it found that this opponent was half-acquaintance of itss, and there was no need for the two sides to fight to the death. This little pain on Dongxu was just a tickle, and it would heal quickly with the beastman's ability to recover.
But Yue Qier didn't look like he would just let it go after a simple beating. The power of the formation kept growing, and the power of the five elements whipping on its body became heavier and heavier, with almost no end. Its strong body at the Dongxu level was whipped with grooves and became devastated.
In a flash, another ten-foot-long fire blade turned into a huge scarlet knife and chopped down at the Qilin's head. The fire blade drew an arc, cutting through the sky with a whistling sound.
"Stop, stop it! I give up!"
A dull noise came out of the Qilin's mouth. The monster that had entered the Cave Void Realm was already able to speak human language. The next moment, with a crackling sound, the fire blade moved slightly and landed on the side of the Qilin's head, creating a huge crack that was a foot deep.
Qilin's expression froze. Are you serious?
If Qilin were really hit by this, he would be half dead if not dead.
After calming down, Yue Qier hugged her bulging chest and did not reminisce with the strange beast she had not seen for many years. Instead, she turned around and began to check on Su Yun to see if he had suffered any minor injuries in the previous fluctuations.
The Qilin was in great pain at this moment. It had been in the depths of the forest when it suddenly sensed Taowu's call for help. It was its duty to help its fellow descendants, so it opened the gate of void and traveled here.
But before he could come out, he sensed that a weak human might kill Taowu in the next second. How could he accept this?
He just decided to take action at the last minute, but who would have thought that there was a Yue Qi'er hiding below to protect him.
But who on earth made her protect him so much? She almost killed this old acquaintance out of anger.
Qilin turned his head and looked at Su Yun beside Yue Qier.
This young man is quite handsome and can charm many human women. No, why does he look a bit like, um... a god? That's the Green Scroll Sword, and that aura!
"Surprisingly! Your father is called Su Qingshan? Su Qingshan from Jiange!" Qilin exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Su Yun nodded blankly without denying it.
"That's good. It turns out that the master has a son left outside. How old is the young master this year? His realm is a bit low, but he almost defeated Taowu. He is quite capable."
Qilin stood up excitedly and looked Su Yun up and down. "I was wondering why a human cultivator appeared in Hengduan Forest today. Since you are the young master, it's no wonder that your mother brought you here. Kakakaka [strange animal laughter]."
The latter part of the sentence was quite good. Yue Qier snorted faintly and praised Qilin secretly.
Su Yun felt very puzzled. He could tell that the Qilin in front of him seemed to know his father and his identity, and even called his father "master", but there seemed to be some misunderstanding: "Junior Su Yun greets the senior, this is my mentor."
"It seems that the young master is not your child!"
Snap——
The Qilin figure was suddenly slapped away by Yue Qier, breaking dozens of trees, and only stopped when it crashed into the hill.
It's not relevant to bring up this issue.
After watching Qilin being slapped away, Su Yun turned his head and looked at Yue Er in confusion: "Master..."
Yue Er naturally knew what Su Yun was thinking. She brought him here for this. As that man's son, Su Yun would have to tell him these things sooner or later.
She is different from Shangguan Yuhe. Shangguan Yuhe always wants to raise her child in a greenhouse. Shangguan Yuhe's love is too doting, which will only exhaust Su Yun's potential.
Yue Qi'er didn't want this to happen. Su Qingshan's son should be a blue dragon soaring on the top of the nine provinces, not a small turtle lying in the abyss of the sea.
"It will tell you."
After saying this, Yue Er turned around and said, "I'll wait for you at Tan Chi's place."
Half a while passed.
Two heads popped out from the woods. One was white with horns and looked very sacred, while the other was pitch black with fangs and looked very strange.
"She's gone?"
Su Yun nodded, looked at the two beasts holding swords and saluted, "I'm sorry for offending you before."
In the quiet night, two strange beasts walked out of the forest, and the unicorn's horn emitted a dazzling light: "Young Master, I have already said that it is rare for us to recognize each other after seventeen years. Please accept your acknowledgment first."
After saying that, Qilin bent his four knees and knelt towards Su Yun. Taowu, who was standing by, looked at Qilin with a confused expression, but since his boss had already knelt, of course he had to kneel as well, and then he knelt down as well.
What does it mean for a subordinate to acknowledge his loyalty? But now is not the time to think about this.
Even the great Dongxu knelt down in front of him. Su Yun was filled with astonishment and uneasiness. He quickly stepped forward to help Qilin and Taowu up: "You two, get up quickly."
"Young Master's kind nature is exactly like the master's." Following Su Yun's hand, Qilin stood up: "I really didn't expect to see the master's descendants here."
For some reason, Qilin's voice sounded a little sad at this time. Su Yun frowned slightly, and after a moment, his tone suddenly changed and he asked, "From what Senior Qilin said before, could it be that he knows my father?"
The word "father" was very vague in Su Yun's life. Apart from some common sense about his father's identity, he knew almost nothing about the rest of his life.
"Young Master, don't you know about the Master's affairs?" Qilin paused. He hadn't thought of this. "But... may I ask who the Young Master's mother is?"
Su Yun said frankly: "My mother is Shangguan Yuhe."
"I see." Hearing this, Qilin couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, the master is a loyal and good husband, and the young master should be Madam Shangguan's child."
What is a loyal good man, and what does it mean to be just as it should be?
Could it be that my father had been involved with many women in the past, but he only chose to be with my mother?
Su Yun raised his eyes and said, "Please tell me about my father's past."
Looking at Su Yun's appearance, Qilin pondered and said, "Madam Shangguan should be the leader of the Sword Pavilion now. I didn't tell you about my master's affairs, probably out of protection."
"Yeah." Su Yun nodded, agreeing with Qilin's words.
"Young Master, can you guess my identity?"
"I can't guess."
Seeing Su Yun shaking his head, Qilin shook his head helplessly. Madam Shangguan was a little too protective of the young master. However, a hint of pride appeared on its face immediately afterwards, and it said, "As for the identity and reputation of my subordinate, even if the young master does not know the master's past, he must have heard of it."
"King Huang!"
King of Desolation?
When Su Yun heard these two words, he was stunned at first, then he began to search them in his mind, and then his eyes became extremely cautious when he looked at Qilin.
Although my mother blocked my father's information inside Jiange, she did not block the identity information of the powerful people who had appeared in the Jiuzhou cultivation world. Perhaps because of the contact with my father, the information was deleted, but Su Yun still knew the story behind this identity and this person.
King Huang, the mastermind behind the chaos in Xiajing nineteen years ago, broke into the imperial city with a strength of only the third level of Huayun, robbed and killed the crown prince and the Duke of Lu, burned down the Kyoto armory, and later wiped out all the major families in Daxia. His actions undoubtedly damaged the national spirit of Daxia. Later, it was reported that he went to the northern barbarian land and beheaded the three chiefs of the Manting tribe. He was indeed someone who was not to be trifled with.
The last record of Jiange's life ended at a trial in a famous forbidden place in the world of immortal cultivation.
The reason why it is famous is that in that forbidden land trial, countless Nine Provinces Huayun and even Dongxu powerful people participated, but in the end only one in ten cultivators could survive the trial. King Huang was also a participant in that trial, but he never appeared in the world again, so he was believed to have fallen.
But the famous King of the Wilderness turned out to be a monster. Such a change of situation really shocked Su Yun.
"It seems that the name of King Huang did make him quite famous in Jiuzhou back then." King Huang Qilin looked at Su Yun's dazed expression and said with a smile.
After recovering from his shock, Su Yun said seriously, "I have one question that I don't understand. Did Old Huang travel around the Nine Provinces in the form of an animal?"
King Huang did not feel offended by Su Yun's words. Although there were spiritual beasts in the world of immortal cultivation, very few could cultivate such a high-level one as the Huayun level.
Secondly, there is an unwritten rule between the immortal world of Jiuzhou and the mortal world, or in other words, between the immortal world and the imperial court, which is that the affairs of the immortals must be concealed from mortals as much as possible. Not to mention traveling around Jiuzhou in the form of a beast, even ordinary cultivators are not allowed to show off their power in front of people in mortal inhabited areas, or do fancy things like flying with swords.
The mortals in the Nine Provinces of Daxia are basically half-knowing and half-disbelieving about the existence of immortals. Among the half who know, most still think that the immortal cultivation sects are just hidden martial arts sects with some magical skills passed down by inheritance.
King Huang smiled softly, "It's natural that I have a transformed body when I travel around the Nine Provinces. However, during the trial in the forbidden land, I was surrounded and blocked by others and injured my roots. I lost the ability to transform. Even if I return to this forest and cultivate to the level of cave emptiness, I still can't recover."
There are actually injuries that even Dongxu cannot heal?
"Speaking of transformation, I have to talk about the old days. Do you remember..."
Listening to Old Huang talking about the past, Su Yun's expression became solemn.
"I remember that year, when I was about to enter the initial stage of transformation, I was about the same strength as Taowu. One day, an injured young man broke into the Hengduan Forest. By chance, the young man broke into my territory and helped me break through the realm and complete the transformation catastrophe...
...This young man is the master, and also the young master's father, Su Qingshan. Afterwards, I signed a contract with the master, swearing by the way of heaven, and began the story of traveling around the nine states with the master..."
