The sky was covered with dark clouds at night, and dark clouds shrouded the entire Pingan County.
This was the first heavy rain in April. It was already midnight, and the entire Pingan County had already calmed down.
And outside Ping'an County.
In a deserted mountain.
The heavy rain was pouring, the branches were beating, and the thunderstorm was roaring, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.
In the rain.
Cheng Lidong was soaked all over. He held a dagger in his hand, his hair stuck to his face, and his pale face looked extremely serious.
There was no wave in his eyes, letting the rain fall on him.
Clang.
boom.
Along with the sound of thunder, there was also the sound of swords.
It was a shadow, very fast, and the white back of the knife refracted dazzlingly under the lightning.
Wu Yan's figure appeared. He clenched the sword in his hand and struck out at an extremely fast speed. The shadow of the sword was heavy and mixed with terrifying thoughts of killing.
Swish.
In just an instant, the dagger in Cheng Lidong's hand flew out and collided with the broadsword, making a crisp sound.
"Wu Yan, cooperating with Fujun can protect you. Although you practice strange arts, there is still no way to save you. At least there will be no problem in getting you to the top level quickly."
"Cooperation is your only way out now."
Cheng Lidong didn't really make any move.
Under the pouring rain, the dagger in his hand glowed coldly. His eyes were fixed on Wu Yan not far away, trying to dissuade him.
It's just that these words of dissuasion seemed somewhat similar in Wu Yan's eyes.
"Cheng Lidong, do you think I'm stupid?"
"If you practice strange arts, you are already destined to die. It's easy for you to fool others, but there is no point in lying to me."
Wu Yan's voice became even colder.
The big knife in his hand was trembling slightly.
"Okay, I won't trade this with you."
"I deal with you alone."
"Tell me where the treasure left by Emperor Wu is, and I will let you live."
Cheng Lidong spoke up. There was no one else here, so he could say something.
"Tell you, what good do I do? Just let me live?"
Wu Yan asked.
"Half for each of us. The treasure left by Emperor Wu is extremely valuable. Each of us can share half of it. At least you can solve your urgent problem, and I can also take this opportunity to make a career."
"Wu Yan, those who know the current affairs are heroes. I know that you have a lot of humiliation and unwillingness in your heart. But if you die, everything will be empty talk. No matter who you hate or what your purpose is, there is hope for you while you are alive."
I have to say that Cheng Lidong’s words are very convincing.
Wu Yan fell silent.
He stood quietly in the rain, seeming to be really weighing things up.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Lidong continued to speak.
"I can take a martial arts oath or even a pledge of surrender. I, Cheng Lidong, am not a good person, but I have wild nature, and you also have a purpose. We can cooperate."
"I will climb to a higher position step by step. No matter what your wishes and ideas are, I can help you."
Cheng Lidong continued, these words were very realistic and expressed his inner thoughts.
His attitude was sincere and his eyes were full of desire.
The latter was silent in thought.
"Wu Yan, if you and I work together, we will definitely achieve something great. I will not bow down to others, but I can see that you have something on your mind and you must complete it."
"I can let you go now. As long as you figure it out, you can come to me, but don't try to escape. Ping'an County has already set up a dragnet, and you can't escape."
"Fu Jun has sent more powerful experts. If they show up, they won't capture them alive. Cooperation is your way out."
When Cheng Lidong saw that Wu Yan had been silent, he couldn't help but speak again, hoping to impress Wu Yan.
"Okay, I can cooperate with you, but I have three requirements."
Under the heavy rain, Wu Yan finally spoke. He agreed to cooperate, but made three demands.
"Don't say three, thirty will do."
Seeing Wu Yan speaking, Cheng Lidong was overjoyed, and his pale face showed joy.
"Don't agree too early."
"I want to leave alive, no matter what, I have to leave alive."
"I want the head of Nanyu Mansion."
"I also need a Linglong Seven Aperture Pill, can you get it?"
Wu Yan made three requests.
But these three requirements are very demanding.
"Let you go, this can be done."
"It's not impossible to get the head of the Lord of Nanyu Mansion, but given the current situation, I can't do it. You need to get the treasure left by Emperor Wu and lie dormant for several years. I can help you complete it."
"As for the Linglong Seven Aperture Pill, I will help you get it within ten years, how about it?"
Cheng Lidong gave the answer.
"Ten years is too long, three years, you have to get it within three years."
Wu Yan shook his head and limited the time to three years.
"good."
Cheng Lidong agreed without hesitation and then spoke.
"Tell me the secret of Emperor Wu's treasure, and I will help you get the Linglong Seven Aperture Pill within three years."
He looked at the other party with a determined look.
"Tell you directly, do you think I'm stupid?"
Wu Yan smiled, his eyes full of contempt.
"If you don't tell me, how can I trust you?"
Cheng Lidong asked rhetorically.
"I can tell you some relevant information, but the core is still in my hands. When I leave alive, I will contact you, how about it?"
The other party suggested a way.
"Can."
Cheng Lidong agreed directly without any hesitation.
Both of them have concerns, and it is normal for them to be cautious in their transactions.
"The treasure left by Emperor Wu requires the power of yin and yang to open. It contains the ancient scripture of the Alchemy God."
"Is this information enough?"
Wu Yan spoke slowly, telling something that Cheng Lidong urgently wanted to know.
"Ancient Alchemy Scripture?"
For just a moment, Cheng Lidong's pupils shrank, his eyes full of shock.
He knows what the ancient Dan Shen Sutra is.
The first sacred book of alchemy, it is rumored that the ancient alchemy book records the method of breaking through martial arts.
There are ten levels of martial arts, one level and one level.
Breaking through is as difficult as reaching the sky. Qualification, talent, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable.
Especially the further you get to the back, the more terrifying the grade becomes.
It is not uncommon to be stuck in one realm throughout your life.
But if you get the Ancient Alchemy Scripture, you can make endless breakthroughs. You only need to find the medicinal materials needed for the elixir to refine the realm-breaking elixir.
After swallowing it, you can directly break through its realm without waiting at all.
So how can Cheng Lidong not be excited?
How can you not be excited?
He is now an eighth-level Dantian realm warrior. If he wants to break through to the seventh level, he may have no hope in his life, but with the Ancient Alchemy Scripture, he can easily break through to the seventh level.
It is even possible to reach the first level in your lifetime.
The dignified Nanyu Mansion Lord is only a sixth-grade warrior. Once he obtains the Ancient Alchemy Scripture, it will be too easy to surpass the Lord.
"This is not enough, where is the treasure left by Emperor Wu?"
"Also, what does the power of yin and yang mean?"
He asked, feeling that this information was not enough, and asked the other party to give some more important information.
"Do you think I can tell you where the Emperor Wu's treasure is?"
"But I can tell you the power of yin and yang. The so-called power of yin and yang is"
When Wu Yan spoke, his first words were nothing.
But the second sentence pulled Cheng Lidong's mind.
Cheng Lidong knew that Wu Yan would not tell where the treasure was hidden, but he didn't know the power of yin and yang, so he was a little distracted.
But in an instant.
Clang.
The shadow of the knife struck again, the knife's energy cut through the rain, and with strong murderous intent, it struck directly at Cheng Lidong's head.
"Damn."
Cheng Lidong roared, and with extremely quick reflexes, he raised his hand and drew his sword.
The short sword and the broadsword collided, sparks flying.
The next moment, Cheng Lidong was trembling all over. The terrible sword energy disrupted the flow of his inner energy, and the tiger's mouth cracked open, and blood burst out.
Swish.
Being suddenly attacked, Cheng Lidong reacted very quickly. He was on guard to a certain extent, but what Wu Yan said made it difficult for him to concentrate.
He knew that everything Wu Yan had just said was because of this knife, and he didn't want to cooperate with him at all.
Just to kill myself, I threw out the bait to lure myself into the trap.
Good intentions.
After understanding everything, Cheng Lidong no longer hesitated. He circulated his inner energy, moved quickly, and struck out with his dagger.
Under the lightning, the sword shadow was as fast as lightning, directly cutting off Wu Yan's hand tendons and hamstrings, and even stabbed Wu Yan's lungs with the sword.
His moves are fierce and vicious.
Although Wu Yan had already entered the eighth level, he was seriously injured, and he had just entered the eighth level.
Cheng Lidong had entered the eighth level a few years ago without any injuries. There was a huge disparity between the two.
"I'll give you one last chance."
"Tell me everything and I can let you live."
"Wu Yan, don't struggle in vain."
But the dagger stabbed his lungs, and Cheng Lidong nailed Wu Yan to a tree stump, but still did not kill him.
The ancient Alchemy Scripture was too tempting for him.
It was so big that even if Wu Yan wanted to kill him, he would not be willing to kill Wu Yan.
"Dog thief."
"Do you think I believe you?"
"Hahahaha, die."
Wu Yan, who was nailed to the tree stump, not only showed no trace of fear or despair, but instead showed a crazy expression.
The next moment, the cold air condensed on his wound, and the terrible cold air instantly filled the dagger, and then directly covered Cheng Lidong's hands.
Swish.
In just an instant, Cheng Lidong took dozens of steps back, the energy in his body surged, and he looked at his hands, veins bulging.
He was fooled again.
Wu Yan drew his sword not to take advantage of himself, but to deliberately anger himself and release the Yin Ming Cold Poison to kill him at the cost of his own life.
This man is so cruel.
More ruthless than myself.
Cheng Lidong was so angry that he did not panic, but forced out the cold poison immediately.
But the cold poison was too terrifying. Wisps of cold air covered his hands, making it difficult to force them away.
In the end, Cheng Lidong condensed Qi with his fingers and directly opened the tendons of his wrists, and the cold blood spurted out. Although it was harmful to the body, at least the coldness would not completely spread into the body.
"You have no big grudge against me."
"But he dared to show up and deliberately sold out his flaws,"
"Because he wants to kill me."
"You don't want to kill me."
"Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't kill me."
"Because you know there is a huge gap between us."
"Someone ordered you to kill me."
"who is it?"
During the detoxification process, one thought after another flashed through Cheng Lidong's mind. He asked questions one by one, looking at Wu Yan coldly.
However, the other party's body was filled with cold air, and he was already frozen and lifeless.
"Who's instigating this?"
"kill me?"
"Is it a deal?"
"If he dares to show up, he is prepared to die."
"All the key things have been handed over to others."
"The contact person has changed, the secret is not with him."
"And the other person wants me dead."
"who is it?"
Cheng Lidong kept thinking, his brain working rapidly.
Click.
boom!
With a thunderous explosion.
A delicate face appeared in Cheng Lidong's mind.
"Xu Qingxiao"
A low murmur sounded.
Cheng Lidong had a cold face and tore open his sleeves to bandage his wounds. His body was shaking violently, and the cold air still entered his body, but it would not cause death, but it would be a big trouble.
But at this moment, he knew who wanted him to die.
We also know the clues to Emperor Wu’s treasure.
"Hahahahahaha."
"Hahahahahaha."
"Cough cough cough cough"
Wild laughter rang out, followed by a fit of coughing.
