972 The Sword of Protection of the Nation Reappears!
After all, in this round of practice, Xiao Zhi did not take any of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could enhance the strength of his soul.
In this case, he extended the time by 6 hours compared to the previous round, which in his opinion was already very good.
Xiao Zhiqiang braced himself, thinking about this in his mind, a smile appeared on his face.
sleep!
Xiao Zhi lay sprawled on the cold ground and closed his eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
This time, Xiao Zhi still slept extremely soundly, and when he woke up, it was still the time when the sun was rising.
Xiao Zhi slowly climbed up from the cold ground, feeling energetic and energetic. The previous feeling of extreme fatigue had long been gone.
After getting up, the first thing Xiao Zhi asked was still: "Brother Li, how long have I slept this time?"
The voice belonging to the demon Li Kuo immediately replied: "Master, you slept for half a day this time. Compared to the last time, you slept about an hour less."
Xiao Zhi nodded when he heard this, saying that he understood, and said in his heart: "It seems that if I want to regain my full energy, I don't need half a day at all. Maybe half a day is enough, or even half a day."
, The reason why I slept for most of the day before was just because after sleeping for most of the day, I happened to sleep until the sun was rising, and then woke up naturally...'
'No, it's also possible that the treasures and rare treasures I took before strengthened my soul and then increased my energy recovery speed. This is also possible.'
No matter what the possibility is, it is a good thing for him, Xiao Zhi.
Therefore, Xiao Zhi did not hesitate about this, but gently waved his hand and waved away the restriction in front of him.
Xiao Zhi said, "Has anything big happened outside these days?"
Although his voice was not loud, it rang clearly in the ears of several liaison players.
Several liaison players stationed in Xiao Zhi's courtyard couldn't help but perked up after hearing Xiao Zhi's voice!
The God of Execution is out again!
A liaison player hurriedly said: "Zhi Shen, two days ago, a Jindan monk from the Yuxu lineage of Shenmen, who claimed to be the ninth disciple of Venerable Ji Shi, came to the door and asked to see you. Mr. Li Kuo also refused to see you.
I am practicing, so in order not to disturb your practice, I refused."
‘A disciple of Venerable Ji Shi?’ Xiao Zhi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
Since he is a disciple of Venerable Jishi, there is a high probability that he has sent spiritual stones to him.
You know, a few days ago, he pretended to be poor and begged 10,000 spiritual stones from Venerable Jishi. Calculating the time, this spiritual stone should have arrived.
‘Since you are here to give away spiritual stones, why are you turning people away?’ Xiao Zhi couldn’t help but look resentfully at the air where the demon Li Kuo was invisible, and thought to himself.
When he was communicating with Venerable Ji Shi, Li Kuo was watching. Li Kuo must have known about this.
As if he saw what Xiao Zhi was thinking, he listened to the voice of the demon Li Kuo and explained: "This son came with the spirit stone. I asked him to give the spirit stone to me first, and then I will pass it on to you."
, he refused and insisted on handing over the spirit stone to you personally, and there was nothing I could do."
"So that's it..." Xiao Zhi nodded.
"Where is he now?" Xiao Zhi asked, not only asking the demon Li Kuo, but also the liaison players.
Li Kuo used his mind to send a message: "He hasn't left yet, he's just outside the courtyard."
The next second, a liaison player also said: "This Jindan monk is still waiting outside the courtyard and has not left."
Xiao Zhi nodded slightly, his eyes glowed with golden light, and his gaze easily penetrated the wall and looked out of the courtyard.
He saw at a glance that only a few feet away from his courtyard, there was a middle-aged Taoist wearing a dark black embroidered silver Taoist uniform sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Judging from the energy fluctuations in this middle-aged Taoist's body, he should be a spiritual practitioner in the late stage of Jindan.
Xiao Zhi said softly: "I'm practicing. I've kept you waiting for a long time. Come in."
Although his voice was soft, it passed through the wall and sounded clearly in the ears of this middle-aged Taoist.
The middle-aged Taoist who was sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He stood up, bowed respectfully toward the courtyard, and said, "Yes, Uncle Master!"
A monk who was probably older than Xiao Zhi's grandfather actually respectfully called Xiao Zhi uncle, which seemed a bit inconsistent.
However, Xiao Zhi, who is a Nascent Soul monk, is considered a peer of Venerable Ji Shi in the Dachang Divine Sect, and they are both regarded as fellow Taoists. Therefore, as the ninth disciple of Venerable Ji Shi, this middle-aged monk is called
It makes sense for Xiao Zhi to call him uncle.
After bowing respectfully, the middle-aged monk walked towards the courtyard.
Xiao Zhi waved his hand gently, and the restrictions were lifted like a water curtain. With a creak, the courtyard door was also opened.
The middle-aged monk stepped into the courtyard, with respect on his face, and walked towards Xiao Zhi step by step.
Xiao Zhi thought it was nothing at first, but soon felt something was wrong.
When the middle-aged monk in front of him was walking, his movements seemed a little...unnatural.
Yes, it's just unnatural, a bit like a puppet.
This made Xiao Zhi feel a chill in his heart, and he began to carefully examine the middle-aged monk in front of him.
After careful inspection, he immediately discovered some abnormalities. The respectful expression on the middle-aged monk's face seemed natural and there was nothing wrong with it. However, his eyes lacked agility and seemed a bit dull.
It also looks slightly unnatural.
All of the above are just very small unnatural things. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice them at all, but Xiao Zhi noticed them keenly.
First, after taking those heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance the strength of the soul, Xiao Zhi's perception of the outside world has become significantly more acute than before.
Secondly, he has just woken up from sleep, is full of energy, and is at his peak.
It was precisely because of these two points that he was keenly aware of the anomaly.
There is something strange about this middle-aged monk!
Xiao Zhi thought about lightning and soon thought of something unusual.
For example, although the ten thousand spirit stones sent by this middle-aged monk are very precious, they are not particularly precious. He was practicing at the time. This middle-aged monk could have given the spirit stones to the demon Li Kuo, and then
Just leave.
But this middle-aged monk was determined to deliver the spiritual stone to him personally.
Why is this so? Could it be...
Xiao Zhi thought of the previous anomalies again, and couldn't help but become wary!
With a respectful expression on his face, the middle-aged monk continued to walk forward, approaching Xiao Zhi step by step.
Xiao Zhi smiled lightly and said, "How is Venerable Ji Shi doing lately?"
The middle-aged monk respectfully replied: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. Master, everything is well."
Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded.
After the middle-aged monk finished his answer, he continued to walk forward. At this time, he was less than three feet away from Xiao Zhi.
He was still walking forward with a respectful expression on his face. As he walked, he reached into his arms and took out a storage ring. He handed it to Xiao Zhi respectfully and said, "Uncle, this is the gift of Master."
Please accept the spiritual stone I gave you."
With that said, he took a few steps forward, closing the distance between him and Xiao Zhi to less than two feet, and then gently threw the storage ring in his hand.
The storage ring drew a parabola in the air and flew towards Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded, exuding a trace of true energy and extending it towards the storage ring.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The middle-aged monk suddenly rushed towards Xiao Zhi! As he rushed towards him, he flicked his sleeves and threw out a golden afterimage!
This golden afterimage appeared in the center of Xiao Zhi's eyebrows instantly, and then stabbed Xiao Zhi's eyebrows fiercely!
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Xiao Zhi's forehead!
The next moment, this golden afterimage penetrated from the back of his head, and then shot through a big tree in the courtyard, shot through the bluestone wall, shot through the restriction, and shot through a person on the bluestone street.
The pedestrian's left leg shot diagonally into the bluestone ground, creating a bottomless hole in the bluestone ground.
"Looking for death!" Li Kuo, the demon in charge of Xiao Zhi's security, let out a roar, and then he saw an extremely cold air pouring out of him and towards the middle-aged monk who was so close!
The middle-aged monk was just a golden elixir monk, and he had no time to react before a layer of white frost appeared on his body.
The sky above the courtyard was filled with wind and clouds, and a pale golden light appeared out of thin air!
This is because Li Kuo, in anger, used too much power to activate the defensive formation of Cangzhou Daocheng.
Under Li Kuo's angry blow, the middle-aged monk was frozen into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye!
It was only then that the liaison players stationed in Xiao Zhi's courtyard reacted.
A female player couldn't help but scream, and then she was pulled back by a male player, away from this extremely cold frozen land created by the demon Li Kuo.
With a crashing sound, Xiao Zhi's body, whose head had been pierced, melted into a ball of black water with a hint of gold, and fell to the ground.
Not far away from him, the big tree that was penetrated by golden light was visibly stained with a layer of light gold, and then the trunk and leaves silently turned into fly ash.
Everything pierced by the golden afterimage was dyed with a light golden color, even the unlucky pedestrian walking on the street was no exception.
This was just an ordinary person. After his left leg was pierced by the golden afterimage, he didn't even have time to scream, and the person turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving no trace.
With a creaking sound, the door of a wing room was opened in the courtyard, and a figure stepped out, it was Xiao Zhi.
At this time, Xiao Zhi's face looked ugly and gloomy.
Ordinary monks and warriors couldn't see clearly what the golden afterimage just now was. Even the weaker Yuanying monks couldn't see it clearly, but he could barely see it clearly.
It was a sword, a dragon-headed dagger that exuded golden light!
It’s the divine sword that protects the country!
Jun Huai, the second-generation emperor of Xuanming Kingdom, once used this divine sword to protect the country, and it left a deep impression on him.
Unexpectedly, it appeared again today and almost took his life again!
Xiao Zhi did not look at the middle-aged monk who had been frozen into an ice sculpture. Instead, he raised his head slightly, exhaled and said: "If those miscellaneous fishes in Xuanming Kingdom want to kill me, you can come over here!
Why use such despicable means?"
His voice was like rolling thunder, booming and reverberating throughout Cangzhou Daocheng, and it lingered for a long time.
Not only in Cangzhou Daocheng, but also in places thousands of miles away from Cangzhou Daocheng, Xiao Zhi's shouts can be heard.
For a time, the entire Cangzhou Daocheng was alarmed!
Brush! Brush! Brush!
From all over Cangzhou Daocheng, streams of light rose into the sky, and then flew towards this side!
The first one to rush over was Venerable Wu Lie.
As the Taoist master of Cangzhou, he has completely mastered the eight-pole golden formation in Cangzhou Tao City. When Demon Demon Li Kuo took action, he had already sensed something abnormal, and then flew over here immediately.
As soon as he arrived, Venerable Wu Lie sent a message to Xiao Zhi: "My lord, what happened? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xiao Zhi replied via voice transmission, and then he briefly explained what had just happened to Venerable Wu Lie via voice transmission.
Venerable Wu Lie's face suddenly became extremely serious!
"It's no longer safe here. You should leave as soon as possible. The further away the better!" Xiao Zhi said to the players who were standing far away in the corner and had not yet left.
These liaison players are just innate extreme warriors, not even foundation-building monks. In this level of confrontation, they are not even cannon fodder. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to leave here as soon as possible.
"Okay... okay." When several liaison players heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
They had wanted to leave for a long time, but due to the strict internal discipline of the All Living Beings Army, they would rather die than leave their posts without permission.
But now, with Xiao Zhi's words, there is no problem.
"Don't go through the gate, just climb over the wall and go out." Xiao Zhi reminded the liaison players again.
The wall of this courtyard is only more than ten feet high. Not to mention the innate extreme warriors, even some strong ordinary people can climb over the wall and escape.
The players who received the reminder immediately gave up going through the gate and climbed over the wall one after another to escape.
When Li Kuo saw this scene, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with it.
After all, in his opinion, these are just servants in the courtyard.
As soon as a servant encounters danger, he abandons his master and chooses to escape. It's okay not to want a servant like this!
Now that you have escaped, there is no need to come back!
Xiao Zhi seemed to see what Li Kuo was thinking, and sent a message to him through his mind: "It is useless for them to stay here. I asked them to escape for their lives."
