With Fang Chang's kick, the sky and the earth collapsed in the dungeon. Only the place where Fang Chang stood was unharmed, as if some mysterious force was blocking the collapsing earth and rocks.
At the same time, the air seemed to condense into invisible steps, and Fang Chang climbed up the steps and walked out of the dungeon.
The sun in the sky was slightly warm, and the tall man on the ground stood with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for something.
Behind him, Shen Xiuwen and Xiao Shitou were imprisoned by an invisible force, which was also a kind of protection. The turmoil just now could not harm them at all.
For a while.
Only then did I see a tornado of dust surging not far away. Amidst the roar of earth and rocks, a figure escaped with a disgraced face.
Fang Chang's kick just now caused the entire dungeon to collapse. Although Lin Zhen was the first to run away, he was the last to escape.
Of course, compared to those jailers who were buried underground forever, he was luckier.
But when he saw Fang Chang's face that flashed through his memory countless times, his body trembled unconsciously and he lost all strength in an instant.
"Master Immortal, spare my life again..."
He suddenly knelt down, just like when they met again.
Fang Chang said: "I always keep my word. Since I said I will give you what you want, why do you run away."
Lin Zhen was stunned when he saw Fang Chang tapping his finger lightly.
The air rippled, and the spiritual energy that shouldn't exist in the Land of Absolute Spirits suddenly emerged, pouring into Lin Zhen's body like a swallow in the forest.
That was Fang Chang actively outputting his own mana, and when the world couldn't digest it for a short period of time, he created a large amount of spiritual energy.
Before Lin Zhen understood the situation, he felt a magical power that he had never seen before.
His inaccessible blood shadow magic skill was now operating on its own as if it had been guided by something.
The blood energy is purified and condensed, pulling the aura that pervades the world into a magical power.
It was obviously a matter of life and death, but Lin Zhen was infinitely moved in his heart.
The power he was searching for, the power he dreamed of, actually appeared at his most desperate moment.
All the blood in his body was converted into mana, and the huge amount of blood he absorbed during the founding war of the Yan Kingdom now became the basis for his continuous breakthroughs.
The first level of Qi refining, the second level of Qi refining...
Until the Qi refining is complete!
Lin Zhen's eyes were scarlet, showing endless excitement. Once a hundred years of accumulation exploded, the rewards he could not imagine.
He was almost certain that as long as he took another step forward, his exhausted body would regain its youth and he could live for another hundred years.
While he was excited, a trace of doubt could not help but flash in his mind.
Could it be that the immortal master was really willing to help him because of his past friendship?
The story the Immortal Master told just now is true. Although he was wrong, he inadvertently helped the Immortal Master achieve a breakthrough, so the Immortal Master can let bygones be bygones.
But the next moment...
"No!"
Lin Zhen felt that the originally gentle environment around him suddenly turned into a huge mouth that swallowed everything, and the mana that he had not yet had time to fully feel was constantly leaking out.
Lin Zhen used every method he could think of to stop the leaking magic power.
But facing the rules of heaven and earth in the Land of Absolute Spirits, and without Fang Chang's tyrannical mana, which was as powerful as the ocean, he could only watch his hard-earned mana leak out like a funnel.
The originally excited expression gradually turned into despair.
He looked at Fang Chang blankly, then suddenly woke up, his tone was pleading, and he was humbled into the mud.
"Master Immortal, save me, please save me."
The magic power is formed by the condensed blood and energy in his body. Now that the magic power is dissipated, all the blood and energy in his body will disappear with it.
Without the blood and energy he had drawn from magic, how could he support his decaying body?
What was gone was not only his mana, but also his vitality.
Fang Chang looked indifferent and unmoved.
"Isn't this exactly what you want?"
"I don't want it anymore, I don't want anything anymore."
Lin Zhen's appearance became older at a speed visible to the naked eye, his childhood appearance turned into white hair, his eyes became cloudy, and it became difficult to even speak.
After not seeing Fang Chang's response for a long time, he gradually lost consciousness, his vision became blurry, and scenes gradually flashed through his mind.
He meets immortals when he is young, becomes famous as a teenager, and then achieves his ambitions. When he is old, he seeks immortality, and understands the magic method. In order to gain blood, he will not hesitate to start a war and destroy all living beings.
But no matter how he calculated, it was not until the end that he discovered that it was impossible for him to succeed from the beginning.
It was never Fang Chang who killed him, but Fang Tiandi.
"God, you are so unfair..."
…
Seeing Lin Zhen grow old and die in front of him, Fang Chang's expression was neither sad nor happy, untouched, just like brushing away a small insect.
To him, Lin Zhen was just a small passerby on his long journey, no more than a weed on the side of the road that he glanced at.
"Little Shitou, it's your turn."
Fang Chang's eyes finally turned to Lin Lei - the child who changed his destiny because he needed an excuse.
Lin Lei saw the master of the state, whom he thought was invincible, dying humbly in front of him like a pitiful creature. He was so shocked that he even suppressed his fear of death.
He is a child who grew up listening to the legendary stories of his real grandfather.
He had also personally seen the National Master fight against the three major kings of the Jingguo royal family alone, establishing his reputation as the number one martial artist in Jingguo;
He had also seen the Imperial Master single-handedly take the heads of enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops, how majestic that was;
The Emperor of Yan regarded him as a distinguished guest and granted him the title of Great Protector of the Country. His 100,000 Azure Dragon Army was enough to subvert the imperial power.
But just now, the Imperial Master died, like an insect.
His faith collapsed.
Until his mother's sobs woke him up.
"Ms. sir, he is Xiao Shitou, your apprentice and your son!"
Shen Xiuwen knelt down in front of Fang Chang, her eyes were red, and she begged bitterly.
Lin Lei looked at his begging mother, then at Fang Chang who looked neither sad nor happy, and said with a wry smile:
"Mom, there is no need to beg him. He is no longer my master, nor is he your husband."
"This is all fake, don't you understand yet?"
Lin Lei laughed angrily and said:
"From the very beginning, we and I were chess pieces to help him practice! There is no difference between him and the national master, except that when the national master lost, he won.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say.
The son's current fame comes from his horse, and he is already ready to be shrouded in horse leather.
Come on, kill me!"
Lin Lei looked at Fang Chang and said, "I betrayed you. It has nothing to do with my mother. Let her go."
There was a bit of ripples on the square face at this moment, and he shook his head and said:
“How can we tell clearly what is true and what is false?”
"Little Shitou, do you know that when you swung the knife at me, my heart also ached for you."
"I have never been sorry to you or treated you badly. Do you still remember the Eagle Claw Skill that you gave up?"
"That was a technique tailor-made for you before I lost my memory. It was something Lin Zhen had dreamed of, and I gave it to you from the beginning."
"Ten years of success, but you went too fast and too hastily."
"So don't talk about success and defeat, and find an excuse for betrayal.
I just find it ridiculous that you are a man, but at the last moment, you are still unwilling to tell the truth to yourself."
"you?!"
Lin Lei's expression of grief and anger immediately froze, Fang Chang's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and the last dignity he wanted to maintain before his death was stripped away layer by layer.
He was silent for a moment and closed his eyes, as if he could escape everything in this way.
He murmured to himself:
"That's right. You haven't sorry for me. It's just that I'm too ambitious and don't look down on you anymore."
"That year, the national master brought the juniors from the Qinglong Gang to Xiama Village to stay for a while.
I once used your Eagle Claw Technique to defeat all the invincible opponents in Xiama Village, but when faced with those guys from the Qinglong Gang, I was completely defeated.
I have been bullied by children in the village since I was a child. I am used to being bullied. I am not afraid of being beaten.
But there was Xiaoyu among that group of people.
She is the great-granddaughter of the Imperial Master. When I saw her for the first time, I thought she was really beautiful and noble.
I want to be a little follower behind her.
In fact, children don't know what to like, but I only had one thought in my mind at that time, I could lose, but I couldn't lose in front of her.
So I asked you if there are any other exercises you can teach me.
I want to learn more powerful kung fu, and I don't want to lose in front of her again.
But you didn't teach me.
Maybe he felt that his eagle claw skills were enough.
Later I went to the Qinglong Gang because the Imperial Master asked someone to bring me a message. Xiaoyu was waiting for me at the Qinglong Gang. If I went, I could follow her.
I have never forgotten your Eagle Claw Skill, but it is really too weak.
I can only be considered a minor player in the Qinglong Gang, and any of my peers around Xiao Yu can defeat me.
The national master came to teach me specifically at that time. Now that I think about it, he probably fell in love with the Eagle Claw Kung Fu you taught me and felt that there was some secret in it.
Even the national master thought it was impossible, so I didn’t insist anymore and switched to Blood Eagle Thirteen Strikes.
Strangely enough, my progress in practicing the Eagle Claw Skill was mediocre, but my Thirteen Strikes of the Blood Eagle, which is also a claw skill, has made rapid progress.
Soon I became famous in the Qinglong Gang.
This makes me complain a little more to you, feeling that you have delayed me.
Now it seems that it was probably the practice of Eagle Claw Kung Fu that laid the foundation for me. I have been practicing it for eight years, and I am only missing the last two years. It is a pity.
Later, the general rebelled, and the Qinglong Gang also joined the general.
I followed the national army in the north and south, and every famous master fell under my claws. I look down upon you more and more, who is hiding in the village and is unknown.
Later, when King Yan ascended the throne, I became the Great General of the Eagle.
The Imperial Master said that he would marry Xiao Yu to me, but only if I get something from you.
I am ready to share my glory and wealth with you.
But your indifferent attitude irritated me.
Who do you think you are, just a premature old man? I have been through life and death many times and suffered a lot in these years, but you hide in Xiama Village and never go out.
Now I share wealth and honor with you, but you don't know how to appreciate me.
I want you to see that I didn’t practice your Eagle Claw Kung Fu, and it would be just as powerful if I left you.
But when your palm hit me, I completely lost my mind.
It turns out that you are so powerful, but why did you teach me such a weak Eagle Claw Kung Fu, which caused me to be looked down upon and suffered a lot outside.
I hate it!"
Fang Chang nodded slightly: "Are you doing it for a woman? No, you still blame me for half of the suffering you have suffered over the years, even though I have done nothing."
"Once a person falls into prejudice, it is really difficult to go back."
"But since you have made your choice, you have to bear the corresponding price."
Lin Lei opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of thick air.
"If I could do it over again, I hope I would never meet you again and be a stupid little stone forever."
"Mom, take care of yourself!"
He groaned in pain, his heart was broken, and his seven orifices were bleeding.
Shen Xiuwen was completely stunned.
She rolled and crawled up to Lin Lei, wiping the blood flowing from Lin Lei's mouth and nose with her palms, and said in a panic:
"Little Shitou, nothing can happen to you. What will mom do if you leave? Wake up, mom is calling you, don't sleep with Xiao Shitou."
But the blood was flowing more and more, and it couldn't be stopped.
She seemed to have thought of something, and knelt down in front of Fang Chang, kowtowing.
"Please! Please!"
Fang Chang didn't speak, but looked into the distance with his eyes, which seemed particularly deep at the moment.
for a long time.
He lowered his head and showed a faint smile.
"as you wish."
…
Xiama Village.
The sky turned slightly white.
A pale young man woke up in his thatched hut with confused eyes. He propped himself up on the bed, rubbed his temples, and muttered:
"I seemed to have had a very long dream just now."
"Hehe, it's not bad. It will be like it's like in the dream. General Condor, tsk tsk, it sounds majestic."
"It's a pity, I'm just a small farmer."
Just when he was feeling regretful, his mother's call came from outside the house.
"Little Shitou, don't sleep in. Before the sun comes out, go to the fields and dig the ground quickly. Don't waste time and delay farm work."
"Know it."
The young man answered, picked up the hoe placed at the foot of the wall, walked out of the house, took the two large cakes prepared by his mother, and went to work in the morning light.
But he suddenly stopped and smiled at a middle-aged woman with a face full of vicissitudes of life:
"Mom, I just had a very interesting dream. In the dream, I was a general, very powerful, and I also married a beautiful wife."
"Okay, you are truly a great general, and you have to dig as much ground as you can.
But speaking of my daughter-in-law, you are quite old. Work more, save some money, and my mother will arrange marriage for you.
After our Lin family has a baby, Mom can go underground and have the honor to meet your father."
The middle-aged woman was not in a good mood, but the second half of the sentence was a little more yearning.
"Really, Mom, I also dreamed that Mom, you married another person, but I don't remember who it was." The young man said seriously.
"Stop nagging, the sun will come out if you keep nagging, and when the time comes, I'll start working and the skin will fall off of you." But the middle-aged woman didn't listen and urged.
"knew."
The young man sighed, bit into the pie and hurried to the fields.
He has never had such a real dream, but it's a pity that his mother doesn't want to listen to his details, but he can brag about it with his fellow villagers later when he goes to the fields.
Thinking this way, he felt happy again and hummed a little tune.
"Today is such a good day..."
"A dream?"
Watching her son go away, the middle-aged woman muttered and turned back to the house.
In fact, she also had a dream.
But she soon forgot about it.
Dreams are dreams. Instead of thinking about dreams, it is better to think about which daughter is suitable for her son.
