The bright light flashed past, and Su Ming put down his arm to block the dazzling light. Xing Ruoyu flew towards Su Ming and the others like a fairy descending from the earth.
"It turned out to be the Three Punishment Thunder Tribulation. Miss Ruoyu's strength is really immeasurable..." Duan Zhanlu sighed.
"Congratulations to Miss Ruoyu for entering the Martial Saint Realm." Su Ming blessed from the side.
"Then I have to thank you for the elixir. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sure I could survive this thunderstorm." Xing Ruoyu said modestly.
"Congratulations to the protector for entering the Martial Saint Realm!"
The servants in the mansion bowed and shouted, congratulating Xing Ruoyu on this breakthrough.
"Come here, I'm happy today. I'm going to give you a banquet. I want you two to stay here until we get drunk." Xing Ruoyu waved his hand and shouted softly.
Welcome living room
"I have the honor to break through to the Martial Saint Realm today, and I would like to thank you two. If it weren't for you two, I don't know what year and month I would be able to reach this realm." Xing Ruoyu stood up and picked up the wine glass and said.
"We have only done what we can. If you can successfully break through, we can only say that you are extremely talented and there is no need for this." Su Ming picked up the wine glass and responded.
After three rounds of drinking, several people's faces were a little flushed. Su Ming picked up the dishes next to him, put them in his mouth and said: "These days, there will be more girls to entertain us, and we don't intend to bother you too much. We will be going down the mountain soon. I hope you won't stop them."
."
After Su Ming finished speaking, Xing Ruoyu didn't make any moves or respond. He quietly turned his head and looked into the distance. That look of reluctance disappeared in an instant.
After the banquet, Su Ming and Duan Zhanlu returned to the room.
"Brother, do you really want to leave?" Duan Zhanlu said softly.
"If you don't leave, why don't you stay here to celebrate the New Year?" Su Ming said disapprovingly.
"It's not impossible." Duan Zhanlu said from the side.
"You can't do that, you big-headed ghost. Go back to bed quickly and set off on your journey from Mintian." Su Ming patted Duan Zhanlu's head and said.
"Brother, don't pat me on the head all the time, I'll make you stupid." Duan Zhanlu said, rubbing his head.
At night, under the bright moonlight, Su Ming stood in front of the window. A snowflake fell from Su Ming's eyes. He stretched out his hand to catch the snowflake falling from the sky and watched it slowly melt in the palm of his hand.
At noon on the second day, Yaoer Mountain and Back Mountain.
"You two, I can only send you here. The next journey depends on you two."
The servant bid farewell to Su Ming and the others, turned around and walked away.
Duan Zhanlu said, "Really, Miss Ruoyu didn't say anything and came out to see us off."
"Don't be nagging, I feel like I'm in a hurry." As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at the top of the mountain in the distance, then walked down the mountain.
At the top of the peak, Xing Ruoyu stood on the boulder, holding one hand on his chest and watching Su Ming and the others.
"I will definitely try my best to promise you what I said, but I don't know when we can meet again after we say goodbye today."
, a teardrop fell on the boulder.
The two of them walked forward, hunting some game when they were hungry. When they were thirsty, they grabbed a handful of snow from the snow and put it in their mouths. From time to time, they would encounter two monsters, both of which were easily taken down by Su Ming and the others.
Su Ming and the two went north along the path. The wilderness was full of corpses. Crows in the sky and small monsters on the ground were eating carrion. The hills were filled with smoke. In the distance, soldiers could be heard fighting and war drums were beating.
roar.
Su Ming squatted beside the snowdrift, looked at the battlefield in the distance and said, "Why are there so many fighting along the way!"
"Looking at the flags and the armor of the dead soldiers, it seems that Dongxu and Nanman are fighting again." Duan Zhanlu said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"What do you mean, the two families have fought before?" Su Ming said in confusion.
"They have been fighting for as long as I can remember. Every time they fight, they can last for about a year. I don't know how long they will fight this time." Duan Zhanlu looked at the fighting scene in the distance and rubbed his eyes.
said.
"Can the people endure beatings like this?" Su Ming said with a frown.
"Of course I can't stand it. I have no choice. The Southern Barbarians have been planning to go north. They are not only attacking Dongxu, but they are also not idle in the Western Jin Dynasty." Duan Zhanlu lay on the snowdrift, looking at the black smoke in the sky, and sighed.
"Are the Southern Barbarians that tyrannical?" Su Ming asked again.
"The Southern Barbarians are not as strong as Hao Ling, but they have a large population, so they are not afraid of that. Even so, the Southern Barbarians are a bit pitiful. Most of the Southern Barbarians are dangerous areas with hot climate, which is not suitable for farming. If the land can be more fertile,
, the southern barbarians will not want to go north." Duan Zhanlu said with his hands spread.
"Let's go, we don't want to get involved in the affairs between the two countries." Su Ming patted Duan Zhanlu on the shoulder and said.
Su Ming looked back at the men fighting on the battlefield, and the passion deep in his heart seemed to be awakening.
Away from the smoke of the battlefield, Su Ming felt very depressed and had already passed Chu Ting unknowingly.
Chuting belongs to the border between Dongxu and Nanman. After years of fighting, there are not many people left around it. The once good town is now beyond recognition.
There are many mountains here, which is a natural danger. It is difficult for the southern barbarians to conquer, so many years of campaigns are useless.
canyon, line of sky
It is several hundred feet long and a thousand feet high.
Deep and deep, the rock end tilts out. When you look up, you can see a ray of sunlight, like a huge rock that has been split by an ax and broken into two halves.
Su Ming and Duan Zhanlu were walking in the valley, and the strong wind swept across them, making the two people move forward with difficulty.
"Brother, is this the right way?" Duan Zhanlu shouted from behind Su Ming.
"Walking through this canyon, then climbing over the mountain, and then walking dozens of miles, we should be there."
"The wind here is really too strong. Try harder and see where there is a shelter from the wind. Let's take a rest."
Su Ming talked for a while and waited for a long time without hearing Duan Zhanlu's response, so he turned around to see if Duan Zhanlu had pulled him too far.
"Why didn't you say anything..."
Su Ming turned around and choked back what he had just said. His whole body stiffened, his pupils dilated in an instant, his heart beat fast, probably because of fear, and he slowly opened his mouth.
Duan Zhanlu, not far away, was standing there, blood pouring out of his mouth, his eyes were spreading, and his vision was beginning to blur.
A huge monster bit half of Duan Zhanlu's body, and its sharp and huge teeth penetrated Duan Zhanlu's body.
"Brother, save me..."
Blood kept pouring out of Duan Zhanlu's mouth. Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown aside by the monster. The monster was very powerful and Duan Zhanlu hit the rock in the canyon. The huge impact force caused a dent in the rock.
"ah!!!"
At this time, Su Ming was extremely angry. His face was flushed with anger, his angry eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his hands popped out, and the dagger squeaked when he was holding it. He looked like a beast that had just been released from the cage.
