The screams and wails continued intermittently until dawn.
There was a "squeak" sound.
Zhou Xutang opened the door.
There was blood on his hands and face, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.
Chen Wen or Chen Li was asked from the beginning.
The reason why they were tortured all night long was mainly to interrogate the person behind them.
He never believed that everything was done by a Qi practitioner.
Maybe Dong Bo was killed by ‘Chen Wen’.
But the second instant kill of seven members of the Zhou family was definitely not something that a Qi-training monk could do.
It's a pity that he didn't ask anything until his death?
The city lord who had been waiting outside all night saw Zhou Xutang coming out. He quickly stepped forward respectfully and said, "Senior Zhou, everything is going well. The banquet has been prepared. We have been busy all night, so why not have a light meal."
"The Zhou family has recorded this favor, but it doesn't require a meal... By the way, one of them escaped, so City Master Liu will need to pay attention to it then." Zhou Xutang forced out a smile and said.
"Senior Zhou's words are serious, this is just a piece of cake." City Lord Liu suddenly smiled. He was favored by a foundation-building family, and it was not in vain for him to spend so much effort: "Senior, don't worry, as long as he dares to show up, I will help you with it."
People found it.”
"Then I'll thank City Master Liu in advance." Zhou Xutang said.
…
After bidding farewell to City Master Liu, Zhou Xutang's smile quickly faded and his eyes turned cold: "How brave!"
This man's name was Chen Wen, and he happened to have met him at the birthday party of the immortal Yu Cheng.
He almost escaped.
"Could it be that Yu Cheng is behind you?" He thought thoughtfully, but was quickly rejected by him: "It shouldn't be possible, it's just bones in a grave, and he has lost his ambition long ago... Forget it, let me see who is behind you.
who?"
His body rose into the air and soared into the sky.
…
Autumn is getting stronger.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, Chen Li opened the door.
There was heavy fog outside and visibility was very low.
He walked to the yard, moving his body and checking the game board.
[Realm: Eighth Level of Qi Training: 72/100]
"We are not far from the ninth level of Qi training, and we will be able to break through it before this year." Chen Li thought: "The next step is to consider foundation building!"
He punched hard.
The air made a "boom" sound.
The fog was billowing violently.
"I don't know if this level can be successfully passed. According to Bai Jinwang, the success rate of foundation building is very low, almost no one in a hundred. If the attack fails, it will cause serious damage to the vitality and shorten the life span.
, or even death... Oh, it’s so difficult!”
Suddenly, there was a rapid "bang bang bang" knock on the courtyard door.
"Brother, open the door quickly!"
It was Gu Mengqing's voice.
Chen Li's expression changed.
He walked quickly to the door, opened it, stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Mengqing in.
"Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to go out and avoid the limelight?"
Gu Mengqing was breathing heavily, his face was pale and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot:
"Brother, we have been discovered by the ancestors of the Zhou family. Run away quickly or it will be too late. Zhao Lin and the others may...I am afraid they have already confessed you." Gu Mengqing whispered, with a look of panic and anxiety on his face.
"What!?"
Chen Li was struck by lightning when he heard this!
The thing you least wanted to see happened.
Although he had thought about this situation more than once, when it actually happened, it still made his heart beat violently and even his breathing became heavy. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:
"Tell me carefully, how did you discover it, and how did you escape?"
Gu Mengqing didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly told the whole story.
"So, the ancestor of the Zhou family hasn't come back yet..." Chen Li took a few steps back and forth and stopped: "You should find a place to hide first, don't show your face, and then contact us again after the limelight passes."
"Yes, brother." Gu Mengqing said.
After Chen Li finished speaking, he walked quickly to the bedroom.
Zhou Hong had already gotten up and was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror. Chen Li pulled Zhou Hong up and said quickly: "Let's go to the basement quickly. What happened last time was exposed. Zhou Xutang will be there soon."
Come on, follow the passage and leave here immediately."
When Zhou Hong heard this, she felt dizzy and her face turned pale.
"You...what about you?" She heard the implication of Chen Li's words.
"If you two go together, if your goal is too big, you will both be ruined. You know I will disguise myself and can leave anytime I want. Then you will wait for me at the second hill to the west of Luanluo Mountain. Remember, it is the second
A mountain top." Chen Li said.
Zhou Hong suddenly felt relieved and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I remember it."
"Don't delay, leave now!"
…
Watching Zhou Hong disappear into the passage, Chen Li sealed the basement entrance with stone slabs, and then blocked it again with cabinets.
He leaned against the cabinet and closed his eyes for a while.
Suddenly he opened his eyes.
"So what about foundation building!"
At this time, he had completely calmed down.
Escape, he didn't even think about escaping.
Since provoking the Zhou family, he had tossed and turned countless times at midnight, thinking about the feasibility of killing Zhou Xutang, but this time he was just ahead of schedule.
"It's not certain who will live and who will die!" Chen Li whispered to himself, with a fierce light in his eyes.
He changed into Zhou Dongbo's robe, took out the second-level magic sword, and held it in his hand.
Then he changed his face and walked out of the door quickly.
Gu Mengqing had already left and there was no trace of him.
It's still dark outside and it's foggy.
His figure was like lightning, and he walked quickly towards the city gate.
Luanluo City has only one gate, and the city's defensive formation has the ability to restrict the air and cannot fly. If you want to enter or exit, you can only go through the gate.
The heavy fog perfectly concealed his figure.
Pedestrians on the road only felt a blur of flowers in front of their eyes, and a gust of wind blew by, and they lost sight of him.
After a while, Chen Li had arrived at the city gate.
In the early morning of late autumn, there was a slight chill, and there were very few people entering and exiting the city gate. Chen Li stood aside, pretending to wait for someone, and walked back and forth. The surroundings were filled with fog, and he could only see a blurry figure ten meters away.
silhouette.
Time passes minute by minute.
Chen Li waited anxiously.
Waited for half an hour.
Suddenly there was a sound breaking through the air in the distance. At first, the sound was barely detectable, but in the blink of an eye the sound became louder and louder, and the sound was obviously different from ordinary flying during the Qi Refining Period.
"Here we come!" Chen Li's heart began to beat violently, and the palm holding the hilt of the sword was slightly wet, and he quickly clenched it tightly.
Since time travel, his hands are already stained with blood.
But this time we face a real life and death battle.
He found that he was still as nervous as if he were fighting for the first time.
The sound broke through the air, getting closer and closer.
It's very close.
He took a final deep breath and began to perform protective techniques.
At the same time, keep your breath calm and don't let out any emotion.
Soon, a figure flew to the ground, it was Zhou Xutang. His face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt something in his heart. He glanced at Chen Li, who was covered with a protective shield not far away, with some surprise.
Without paying much attention, he raised his feet and walked quickly towards the city gate.
Normally, he would not be so careless, but at this moment, he was thinking about capturing Chen Li and interrogating the person behind it.
But he didn't expect that the real owner was right next to him, and he didn't expect that a fight to kill him was about to happen.
The moment I turned around.
Chen Li moved instantly, his figure was like lightning.
In two consecutive steps, the distance was over ten meters.
Zhou Xutang's spiritual awareness was sharp, his face changed drastically, and he turned around suddenly.
A figure had arrived like a phantom with lightning, and struck in front of him.
"You..." Zhou Xutang mobilized his magic power and condensed a layer of magic power on his body, and he just uttered one word.
A ray of light a hundred times more dazzling than the sun lit up from the opponent's eyes. Zhou Xutang closed his eyes instinctively. At the moment when he flashed, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, a terrifying sword light enveloped Sticky
The thick air had penetrated his defense.
The long sword pierced his chest and stabbed out from his back, exploding a bloody hole.
At the same time, Chen Li's arm was instantly broken into three parts.
Everything was so unexpected, the whole process was lightning fast, and it took no more than the blink of an eye.
"Seeking death!" Zhou Xutang glared angrily and spat out a mouthful of blood. His heart was frightened, frightened and angry. His whole body was filled with magic power, and the world seemed to be shaken. He slapped Chen Li with a palm.
"Bang!"
Chen Li was knocked away and his protective shield dimmed suddenly, but fortunately he managed to survive.
Zhou Xutang was seriously injured and was frightened out of his mind.
Turn around and try to escape.
Chen Li took the sword from the broken right hand with his left hand, stepped on the ground with his toes, and once again caught up with him like an arrow leaving the string.
Zhou Xutang had no choice but to turn around and take out the magic weapon.
This is a small black sword.
The sharp energy permeates the air.
It's like a sharp knife hitting the face, making people's hair stand on end.
However, he didn't wait for him to make a move.
Chen Liyi's 'Scolding Technique' once again made him feel confused and stiffened slightly. When he came to his senses, a cold sword light had already passed through his neck, and his head shot up into the sky.
A sword pointed at the head.
The headless corpse staggered for a few steps, then stumbled and fell to the ground, its whole body twitching.
Chen Li quickly stepped forward, grabbed his storage bag and the magic weapon in his hand, and glanced at the head beside him with a twisted and ferocious expression. Thinking of the possible hidden dangers, he suddenly raised his foot and stepped heavily on the head.
.
There was a "boom" sound.
His head was crushed like a watermelon by his kick.
The rocky ground beneath his feet was trampled to pieces.
He cast two evil-breaking charms in succession, took a few steps, and disappeared into the thick fog.
…
On the way, Chen Li kept changing his face, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"There should be no witnesses!"
Thanks to the thick fog today, visibility is extremely poor.
In addition, the fighting time was quite short, only a few seconds in total, so there were even fewer witnesses.
“Finally solved the big problem in my heart!”
This time it was really dangerous.
If it weren't for a sneak attack and a face-to-face fight, the outcome would be hard to say. It would only be between two possibilities.
"Oh, I hope this is the last time such a risk occurs." Chen Li sighed inwardly.
But he knew it.
This is just wishful thinking.
In this world, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected. If you don't kill someone, others will kill you, which makes no sense at all.
Many times when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.
Chen Li walked quickly while secretly alerting his surroundings. It wasn't until he got home that he completely relaxed his mind.
"hiss!"
He was so focused during the battle that he couldn't feel the pain from the wound at all. When he relaxed now, not only the broken arm, but also the tearing pain all over his body.
That sonic boom sword from before.
It's all about risking one's life.
Injure the enemy one thousand, and injure oneself eight hundred.
He glanced at his right palm, which was already a bloody mess. It was only a minor injury. The most troublesome thing was his right arm, which was completely broken into three parts.
A strike at the speed of sound places a huge load on the body. It's okay to practice against the air. But using a strike against an enemy would cause even steel to deform, let alone his arms. With the strength of his body, he simply couldn't withstand such an attack.
The most troublesome thing is that this kind of injury cannot be directly treated with hemostasis.
Chen Li closed his eyes and took a moment, his face looking ugly.
"A comminuted fracture...it's okay, it's not too comminuted."
He kept groping for the broken arm with his left hand, and with the help of his consciousness, the broken bones were quickly reset one by one, and even a few broken bones were returned to their original positions. The intense pain made him tremble all over and break out in cold sweat.
He found a piece of rag and carefully wrapped it around his right hand to secure it.
He moved his right hand.
"I can barely move!"
He began to perform hemostatic treatment.
But failure, failure, failure.
Hemostasis treatment is not a low-level technique.
Incantations and seals are indispensable.
The broken right hand completely lost its former flexibility.
"Damn it!" Chen Li couldn't help but get angry.
He took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried several times before finally succeeding in casting the spell. He reset the broken bones that had been slightly misaligned.
Then wait for recovery.
"I don't know how far Zhou Hong has run."
The wound is becoming more and more itchy and is healing quickly.
With nothing to do, he picked up the storage bag of the ancestor of the Zhou family and input spiritual power for refining. The spiritual imprint left by a foundation-building expert was far more difficult to remove than a Qi-training monk.
Fortunately, this is a rootless source after all.
Under his endless spiritual power.
The mental imprint was quickly worn away.
"It's actually a five-square storage bag!" Chen Li showed a hint of joy on his face.
This kind of storage bag.
It is available in the Changsheng Sect’s magic weapon shop.
Worth three high-grade spiritual stones.
This storage bag alone is worth his entire net worth (of course not counting computer robes and the like)
This is just the storage bag itself.
There are dozens of bottles of elixirs inside.
A stack of talismans.
A book volume.
A bunch of spiritual stones.
Three magic weapons.
Four robes.
And some miscellaneous things.
"What spirit stone is this?" He took one out of his storage bag.
This spiritual stone appears to be crystal clear and quite pure. With just a little touch, you can sense the huge spiritual power accumulated inside.
"Could it be a high-grade spiritual stone?" Chen Li secretly asked.
The more Chen Li thought about it, the more likely it became.
There are four of these spirit stones in the storage bag. If they are high-grade spirit stones, these four alone are equivalent to at least four hundred middle-grade spirit stones.
Chen Li simply took out all the spirit stones from the storage bag, put them on the table, and counted them carefully. There were 152 medium-grade spirit stones, 43 low-grade spirit stones, plus four high-grade spirit stones.
stone.
Converted into mid-grade spiritual stones, there are a total of five hundred and fifty-two.
"Hiss, a strong foundation builder is really rich."
He continued to count.
The only volume in the storage bag is called "The Art of Rainbow Transformation"
Chen Li picked it up and looked through it and found that it was a second-level and first-level spell, which was not something he could use at this stage.
In addition, there are magical instruments and robes.
Except for one thing that seems to be a second-order item.
The rest are all first level.
"Wait a minute, these first-order objects are not the relics of Zhao Lin and others!?" The more Chen Li looked at them, the more familiar they seemed, and it seemed that Zhao Lin and others were already in danger.
"Hey, what is this!" He took out a flat jade plaque.
