At first glance, it looks like it is outlined in red ink.
But because it straddled Jiang Chengye’s entire upper body diagonally, it looked ferocious and terrifying.
Jiang Chengye's always indifferent expression changed drastically for the first time.
He lowered his head in astonishment and watched helplessly as the blood line spread across his body.
Until...
Tsk!
Countless pale golden blood spurted out.
Jiang Chengye groaned and wiped his fingers on his body to stop the wound.
However, although the wound was temporarily healed, the white mark that was obviously shining through showed that Jiang Chengye did not recover immediately.
He raised his head again and looked at Shen Qian, with surprise and some extremely obscure appreciation in his eyes.
"What kind of trick is this?" Jiang Chengye asked, his voice low.
"Shadow Blade." Shen Qian answered while also using this gap to continuously adjust the Qi mechanism in his body.
This trick worked, but... it was far from what Shen Qian expected.
Although Jiang Chengye was injured, it's hard to say how much impact it would have on his combat effectiveness.
At least on the surface, Jiang Chengye didn't seem to be greatly affected.
Shen Qian could only smile bitterly in his heart.
...What a difficult opponent!
"What a good name...it's hard to guard against." Jiang Chengye sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Did you create it yourself?"
"Yeah."
"One day when I leave Jingcheng, a prince once said that I have gathered half of the city's spirit. Within a hundred years, there will not be another Jiang Chengye in Jingcheng."
Jiang Chengye murmured, thoughtfully, "It seems that he sometimes makes mistakes..."
"Which prince?" Shen Qian was stunned. He heard something strange in Jiang Chengye's extremely high praise, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"King of Zhouyi." Jiang Chengye didn't hide anything and spit out three words.
Shen Qian was shocked.
That was one of the first nine kings.
A truly extraordinary person who stands at the pinnacle of the human race.
Moreover, it is said that King Zhou Yi was proficient in numerology and divination and could calculate all the secrets. Since he said this openly, he was definitely not talking nonsense.
So where did the accident come from?
Shen Qian knew well... the system.
If the system hadn't fallen from the sky, he might not have made it to where he is today.
Putting away his distracting thoughts, perhaps seeing Jiang Chengye's unexpected calmness at this moment, Shen Qian quickly asked: "You and I are fellow villagers, and I should call you a senior, so... Senior Jiang, what is the truth about what happened back then, you Can you tell me?"
Jiang Chengye's eyes moved slightly, but he remained silent.
"What about Hu Feiwei?" Shen Qian emphasized, "Do you know how he got here in the past ten years?"
"He treats you like his son. When everyone else despises you, he is the only one who believes that you have your own difficulties!"
"Since you have stepped into the abyss, why don't you try to redeem yourself?"
"If no one is dead, is there still a chance to correct everything?"
Shen Qian continued to ask questions.
But Jiang Chengye never spoke, and his expression didn't even change at all.
"What about...Jiang Xuan?"
Shen Qian's expression also darkened, and he asked slowly, "Do you know how she has lived in the past ten years?"
Whoa!
Jiang Chengye, who had always had a calm expression, finally looked up, but his expression was not the concern or inquiry that Shen Qian had imagined, but coldness and violence.
"You shouldn't mention her."
Boom!
The next moment, the Fangtian painted halberd in Jiang Chengye's hand began to glow again, and he rushed towards Shen Qian with endless murderous intent.
"Gan!"
Shen Qian didn't expect Jiang Chengye to start going crazy again, but now that his strength had reached a higher level, he was not afraid at all. The Shanhe Sword also erupted with a shocking light, and his figure rushed out angrily.
The two of them were like shooting stars, flying across a hundred meters of sky in the blink of an eye and colliding heavily.
Boom!
Just the aftermath of the collision caused the nearby Baizhang mountain to collapse.
The silver-armored generals who had already hid hundreds of meters away had to continue to retreat.
Their bodies are trembling instinctively.
No one dares to imagine that this is a battle in the field of measuring scales.
Both of them seem to be taboos of the rules, born to break worldly perceptions.
The two people, who each retreated tens of meters, did not exchange any words, but rushed towards each other again at a faster speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The already thin mist in the sky was continuously dispersed by the two of them, and only a thunderous collision could be heard.
The scope of the battlefield between the two people is constantly changing, going up to the sky and into the earth. Wherever they pass, the mountains collapse and the rivers pour back.
This already broken world has become the most suitable background at this time.
Shen Qian gradually entered a state of selflessness.
From the time he really started martial arts to now, this is the most exciting fight he has had.
His control of his own strength and proficiency in martial arts are improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The battle between warriors is a matter of life and death in an instant.
But only today, under such special circumstances and opportunities, the two had an extremely lengthy battle.
Shen Qian no longer remembers how many times he swung the knife and how many injuries he suffered. His internal organs have been shocked countless times.
And under his gradually mature "Shadow Blade", Jiang Chengye's body was also torn with wounds.
But both of them seemed unaware.
Shen Qian's blade became sharper and sharper, and the light on Jiang Chengye's body grew stronger and stronger.
Boom! Boom!
Until a certain moment, following a shocking collision, Shen Qian flew backwards under the impact of the aftermath, broke through an invisible barrier, and entered another realm.
Click!
Shen Qian hit the extremely thick ice.
The cold wind is howling, and the sky and the earth are vast.
The sudden drop in temperature made Shen Qian a little stunned.
He temporarily stopped the idea of continuing to take action, and in a flash, he was above the sky.
In the ice and snow, countless goose feather-like snowflakes fell.
Directly below is a thick layer of ice that stretches thousands of miles. Judging from its shape, it should have been a lake and sea.
Shen Qian's gaze was instantly attracted by the scene a thousand meters away.
There, there were thousands of zombie heavenly soldiers standing on the ice. Nearby, at high altitude, there were three scavenger-looking generals in silver armor standing on the clouds and mist, as if they were "supervising the work."
Those thousands of zombie heavenly soldiers were waving their long weapons and beating the thick ice under their feet.
They must have been working here for a while, and a thick layer of ice and snow under their feet has been peeled off. However, the ice layer is too thick, so they still have not dug through it.
The scene that really shocked Shen Qian was right at their feet.
Just under the ice, a huge snake-like creature that is several kilometers long is frozen motionless in it.
Shen Qian raised his head a little higher and finally saw the whole creature clearly.
Immediately, Shen Qian took a breath of cold air. At this moment, the feeling of walking into a myth became stronger.
The head is like a camel, the horns are like a deer, the eyes are like a rabbit, the ears are like an ox, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a carp, the claws are like an eagle, and the palms are like a tiger...
"Dragon!"
This is clearly one of the most representative mythical creatures among Chinese totems, the dragon!
Although I have seen some special effects animations, the feeling of seeing such a huge and magnificent creature in reality with the naked eye is completely different.
This divine dragon in an unknown state was frozen in the lake, its eyes wide open, and its lifelike expression made people unable to help but wonder. It seemed that it would break out of the ice and soar in the next second. Above the Nine Heavens!
He didn't understand why those heavenly soldiers dug up this suspected fallen dragon corpse, but Shen Qian vaguely thought of some possibility.
He didn't have time to look further, and there was another sound of piercing the air behind him, but it was Jiang Chengye who was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and came to kill him again.
Boom! Boom!
The two of them fought in this world of ice and snow.
The sky was filled with wind and snow, and the snow was flying and splashing everywhere.
As his footsteps moved, Shen Qian saw a second identical scene.
Countless heavenly soldiers were still pounding the thick ice, and buried under the ice was a creature several times larger than the divine dragon Shen Qian had just seen.
Shen Qian slashed Jiang Chengye back with a single blow, raised his body to a very high position, and finally saw its full appearance.
This is a cow-shaped creature with a body size of nearly 10,000 meters, almost as high as half a scale.
It has only one foot and no horns on its head. From time to time, streaks of light overflow from its blue-green skin. The light, like the sun and the moon, makes people dare not look directly at it.
And obviously, Shen Qian didn't feel any vitality fluctuations on it.
Only vaguely, you can hear the roaring sound like wind and rain falling.
"Kui Niu!"
Shen Qian's mind changed and he quickly remembered this mythical beast that appeared in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
At this time, Jiang Chengye came over again and killed without mercy, and Shen Qian had no choice but to continue to fight.
The battlefield between the two kept moving in this land of ice and snow, and Shen Qian also saw countless scenes that shocked his mind.
This land that is frozen for countless miles contains more than just divine dragons and Kui oxen buried there!
He finally saw a big bird that looked like a phoenix, a deer that looked like a unicorn, and all kinds of huge mythical beasts that he couldn't even name at the moment.
The only thing they have in common is that these mythical beasts have no vitality, but their appearance in the ice is enough to be intimidating.
Finally, Shen Qian saw a mountain peak standing at the end of the ice and snow.
The size of this mountain is not that big, only a thousand feet high, not even as big as the Kui ox.
But this iceberg gave Shen Qian the biggest shock.
Because there are four "people" frozen in it.
They were four naked men, about three meters tall, with their eyes closed, as if they had been dead for a long time.
Around them, there were seven-color armor floating around, as well as various weapons of different shapes.
Everyone has a dazzling tattoo on their upper body or back.
And these four tattoos just correspond to the four mythical beasts in Chinese legends.
That is, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu.
Shen Qian felt a little suffocated.
Yes, just staring at those four men, he felt like he could hardly breathe.
This is the sense of oppression that only arises when the level gap reaches a certain level.
Just on top of the iceberg, countless heavenly soldiers are clinging to it, constantly waving their weapons and beating the iceberg.
This iceberg seems to be extremely strong, and it takes them a long time to knock out some debris.
But they are tireless.
No matter how strong the ice is, it will eventually be shattered by them.
What really made Shen Qian's pupils shrink was that the colorful armors floating around the four men looked similar to what Jiang Chengye originally wore, right?
He seems to understand what these heavenly soldiers are gathering here to do.
They want to revive all these mythical beasts that have been buried in ice and snow for who knows how long.
Maybe just like themselves...
When Shen Qian was thinking wildly, he finally paid the price for his distraction.
"Poof!" Fang Tian's painted halberd passed through the gap between Shen Qian's long sword and slapped him on the right shoulder.
Shen Qian's shoulder blades shattered instantly, and his whole body flew backwards due to the huge impact. His eyes were dazzled, and in the blink of an eye, he had fallen out of the world of ice and snow, and came to a desert again.
In the endless wind and sand, there are still countless heavenly soldiers.
It's just that they are different from the heavenly soldiers in the ice and snow. These heavenly soldiers are crawling on the ground, holding various ancient utensils in their hands, as if they are arranging something.
Shen Qian saw from a distance a woman with fluttering skirts directing them high in the sky.
"Array!"
Shen Qian held his shoulder in unbearable pain, but he instantly understood what these heavenly soldiers were doing.
They are arranging some kind of extremely complicated and huge formation, and at the end of the extension of the formation is an extremely huge door that is a hundred meters high.
The door is made of white jade and is extremely old, but there are traces of damage everywhere. It stands alone in the desert, which is extremely abrupt.
When the two fighting men broke into this area, the woman who was directing the heavenly soldiers to set up formations raised her eyes and looked over, but quickly withdrew her eyes indifferently and continued to direct, as if she didn't care about the two people at all. What to do.
Boom!
Shen Qian and Jiang Chengye fought against each other again, but due to a serious shoulder injury, Shen Qian was at a disadvantage in an instant.
He could only rely on constantly distancing himself from Jiang Chengye to temporarily maintain the balance of power.
The two fought in the desert. Although Shen Qian was restrained everywhere, Jiang Chengye was unable to do anything to Shen Qian for a while.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.
The scream seemed to come from very far away and very deep, but it was so clear that the sky and the earth seemed to be changing color.
Shen Qian was a little confused. The voice seemed to come from within.
As for Jiang Chengye, after looking back, his expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly stopped.
Although Shen Qian was puzzled, he quickly and vigilantly distanced himself.
Jiang Chengye remained unmoved, just looked at Shen Qian coldly and uttered a sentence.
"I don't have time...you shouldn't be here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chengye's energy suddenly increased at an incredible speed.
Shen Qian's breathing became difficult.
Jiang Chengye actually lifted his own seal at this time.
He is mobilizing his own energy!
Boom!
With a flash in the air, a scale that seemed to be able to suppress the heaven and earth suddenly appeared above Jiang Chengye's head.
Countless thunderbolts gathered on it, forming an extremely thick purple thunderbolt, which bombarded Jiang Chengye who broke through the taboo.
Jiang Chengye was unaware and allowed the thunder and lightning that seemed to be able to destroy everything to bombard him.
He just stood firmly in mid-air as before, and then slowly raised the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand.
Shen Qian was not a fool. The moment Jiang Chengye's momentum changed, Shen Qian, who had already sensed the threat of death, turned around and ran away without hesitation, and at the same time summoned the system immediately.
He didn't understand the reason that made Jiang Chengye suddenly rather bear the risk of being punished by the scales than kill himself.
But he realized that he had little chance of escaping on his own.
Maybe the system doesn't have a good solution, but the system's choice will definitely be more correct than his.
Buzz!
After a brief moment of stagnation, Jiang Chengye shouted low, and the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand turned into a furious dragon, carrying the power of destroying the world and devouring Shen Qian, who was running away like crazy.
