Those extremely bright eyes, like the opened eyes of a god, overwhelmed all the light and things in the world, replacing everything in Xia Hongzhen's sight in an instant. In Xia Hongzhen's sight, only
Those extremely bright eyes.
An invisible sense of oppression pressed on Xia Hongzhen's back, causing all the muscles in his body to tense and contract uncontrollably, and all the energy in his body instinctively moved to resist the invisible sense of oppression that permeated his body.
Those gazes were like two heavenly knives, extremely compelling. Even Xia Hongzhen felt a sense of sincere awe uncontrollably in his heart for a moment. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into those extremely compelling eyes again, respectfully.
Say out loud: "I have met Luo Sheng!"
"Are you Xia Hongzhen?"
The old voice sounded slowly, and there was no hint of joy or anger. However, the moment the voice sounded, Xia Hongzhen clearly felt that the sense of oppression that permeated the entire tent suddenly disappeared.
He subconsciously raised his head, and the vision he had seen the moment he entered the tent had completely disappeared, and everything had returned to normal.
Everything in the tent was so ordinary, with ordinary tables and chairs and a discarded camp bed. The only thing that was incompatible with everything around him was the old man sitting on the camp bed.
The old man's hair is half black and half gray, and there are wrinkles on his face. However, his eyes are so bright that they are incompatible with the wrinkles. They are simply purer and brighter than a newborn baby.
The old man looked Xia Hongzhen up and down, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is a good seedling."
"Luo Shengmiao praised him." Even though Xia Hongzhen, as a top genius, had absolute pride in his heart, when facing this old man, he still instinctively spoke humbly.
"Are you willing to join my sect and become my disciple?"
However, the old man's next words made Xia Hongzhen's heart beat faster for a moment.
Although he had already guessed that he might come here for this purpose before he came, when the old man in front of him said these words, Xia Hongzhen's heart beat uncontrollably faster.
Becoming the only disciple of the ninth-level spiritual master in the entire Great Xia?
If this condition were placed in front of anyone, they would probably be ecstatic in an instant and agree to it with almost no hesitation.
But at this moment, Xia Hongzhen took a few deep breaths, but there was no answer.
"Why, you don't want to?" The old man in front of him seemed to notice Xia Hongzhen's hesitation.
"I am really flattered by Luo Sheng's invitation." Xia Hongzhen said respectfully: "However, all my cultivation is on the path of a warrior, and Luo Sheng is a top spiritual master known in the world, even Luo Sheng is
Accept me, if I become a disciple of Saint Luo, I'm afraid..."
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. All things in the world are just different paths leading to the same destination." The old man chuckled.
"Don't worry, even if you don't have the talent of a spiritual teacher, as long as you are willing to become my disciple, I can still teach you."
"I'm sorry, Luo Sheng, I promised Martial Saint Zongming not long ago that when the war is over, I will return to the capital and worship Martial Saint Zongming as my teacher."
After a long silence, Xia Hongzhen finally took a deep breath and replied respectfully.
"Worship Martial Saint Zongming as your teacher?" The old man in front of him was stunned for a moment, but he still smiled and said: "Are you worried that after breaking the agreement with Martial Saint Zongming, you will offend Martial Saint Zongming? You can rest assured, I
This old man is somewhat thin-faced among the martial saints in Daxia. If you become my disciple, the martial saint Zongming will not dare to cause trouble for you."
"That's not the case. Although I am not a big shot, I have my own moral bottom line and cannot do such things as reneging on my promises for my own selfishness. So... I ask Luo Sheng to forgive me." Xia Hongzhen shook his head and said seriously every word.
Xia Hongzhen's answer seemed to surprise Luo Sheng, and there was a brief moment of silence in front of him.
"Think carefully, you should also know my identity. I am Luo Sheng. Even Sikong Tianxiong has to give me some face. If you worship under my sect,
I dare not say that I will let you step into the Martial Sainthood, but, at least Grand Master, I am 90% sure that I can let you step in."
Luo Sheng stared at the man standing in front of him and said slowly: "That Zongming Martial Saint would never dare to make such a promise to you. I advise you to think about it again."
There was brief silence again in the tent.
"Please be patient with me, Luo Sheng." Xia Hongzhen bent further, but his tone was surprisingly firm.
There was a terrifying moment of silence in the tent. All sounds were silenced at this moment. Xia Hongzhen could even hear the sound of his own blood flowing in his blood vessels.
After a long time.
"Hahaha, good, what a Xia Hongzhen who carries great promises!" The old man in front of him suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was deafening and seemed to make the earth tremble.
"Since you are so serious about your promises, I, as an elder, naturally cannot do anything that is difficult for others..."
"Thank you, Saint Luo, for your understanding!"
Xia Hongzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists towards Luo Sheng, but as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Luo Sheng in front of him say word by word: "I, Luo Sheng, can't refuse my invitation.
Yes, since you are unwilling, then I will force you to volunteer!"
"Lord Saint, you..."
Xia Hongzhen's heart skipped a beat. When he looked up in shock, he saw Luo Sheng in front of him wave his hand, and an illusory light curtain appeared in the air.
Xia Hongzhen's face was instantly replaced by a look of astonishment. What surprised him was not Luo Sheng's method of condensing his mental power into an entity. Even an eighth-level mentalist could do this.
Not to mention Saint Luo who has reached level nine.
What surprised him was the picture on the light screen in front of him!
That was his fiancée!
"Is this your fiancée? Tsk, she looks really lovely..."
Luo Sheng turned away from his previous gentle attitude, stroked the illusory light curtain in front of him with his old fingers, and clicked his tongue.
"What does Saint Luo mean? My fiancée is just an ordinary person..." Xia Hongzhen felt his heart beating wildly, and a strong sense of ominousness emerged. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and remained calm in front of him.
"What does this mean?" Luo Sheng laughed, but there was a chill in that smile that was extremely unfamiliar to Xia Hongzhen: "I said, not everyone can refuse the invitation from me, Luo Sheng!"
"You also know my status in Daxia. Guess what will happen to your fiancée if you reject my suggestion?"
Xia Hongzhen's heart has gradually fallen to the bottom: "May I ask Saint Luo, why do you have to let me be your disciple? I..."
Before Xia Hongzhen finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the face of Luo Sheng, who had a cold face in front of him, suddenly flashed.
brush!
For a moment, Xia Hongzhen felt a sudden pain in his head, as if a sharp cone was piercing into his brain. In just a moment, his limbs lost their strength, as if they were controlled by an extremely cold force.
Lost the ability to move.
"Luo Sheng, you..." He gritted his teeth and managed to spit out a few words.
However, the next moment, he felt an almost irresistible force that was crazily eroding his consciousness, as if it was a strange beast that had penetrated into his mind and was devouring his consciousness crazily.
He felt unparalleled pain coming from his brain, as if his brain was being swallowed by force.
"Hongzhen, give up, you have done enough..."
"Hongzhen, give up the resistance. You will not be Luo Sheng's opponent. Instead of resisting desperately, it is better to give up calmly and suffer less pain..."
One voice after another kept changing, tempting Xia Hongzhen's ears, trying to seduce Xia Hongzhen to give up the struggle. One moment it turned into his father's voice, and the next it changed into his mother's tone.
His consciousness, which could only resist the erosion of that invisible force, was rapidly dissolving at this moment, and the control of his body was quickly being taken over.
"Give up, Hongzhen, we'll see you in the next life." Suddenly, the voice changed into a gentle female voice. It was extremely familiar, but it made Xia Hongzhen's heart tremble for a moment. The consciousness that was melting and unable to resist suddenly became
wide awake.
"No...I can't just give up!"
There was a silent cry in his heart, and in an instant, an indescribable terrifying force suddenly erupted from Xia Hongzhen's body.
Clang!
The sword that originally fell to the ground because Xia Hongzhen gradually lost consciousness started to tremble on its own at this moment. With the sound of the sword ringing into the sky, the sword was unsheathed and stabbed straight at Luo Sheng in the tent.
Even Luo Sheng was so shocked by this sudden scene that he lost consciousness for a moment and subconsciously took a step back. However, it was this step back that made Xia Hongzhen, whose consciousness was rapidly falling, regain his consciousness in an instant.
boom!
He regained control of his entire body in an instant, and without hesitation, the aura erupted from his entire body, rushing out of the tent in an instant and disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Behind him, Luo Sheng slowly walked out of the tent from the shadows, looked at the disappearing figure in the distance, and muttered to himself.
"Such a strong martial arts will... But it doesn't matter. The person I, Saint Luo, like, how can I let you escape like this?"
…
On that day, a piece of news came out from the military headquarters, instantly causing a sensation in the entire capital.
Xia Hongzhen, known as the best swordsman in the capital, actually committed treason and is now wanted by the top military officials!
"Ahhh!"
From a residential building in the capital, a heartbroken roar could be heard.
"Luo Sheng's guess was indeed correct, Xia Hongzhen, as expected you returned to your home in the capital to check as soon as possible!"
Several loud roars sounded in the residential building, followed by several figures rising into the sky from the residential building.
A figure stood staggeringly in the air, with disheveled hair, like a wounded lone wolf, with blood-red eyes staring fixedly in front of him.
Three figures stood in the sky in front of them. The first one had a cold face and held a woman in his hand, who was already tortured and dying.
"Xia Hongzhen, fight without mercy, otherwise your fiancée will turn into a corpse!"
The man spoke indifferently.
Xia Hongzhen stared intently at the woman held in his hands. Although the woman was dying and her face was covered in blood, she still tried her best to make a mouth gesture towards Xia Hongzhen.
Walk!
Walk!
Xia Hongzhen was distraught, roared, turned around and fled away.
"Want to leave? Keep him! Luo Sheng will be there in a minute!"
The roar resounded through the sky, and those figures stepped forward to stop him. Under the violent fluctuations of Gang Qi, those people were no match for Xia Hongzhen. They were beaten back and forth, and they saw that Xia Hongzhen was about to break out of the encirclement.
boom!
From the sky, an incomparably huge force came down, and with a scream, one of Xia Hongzhen's arms was cut off!
That force still wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but another powerful force came down and blocked the force that belonged to Luo Sheng: "Luo Sheng, that's enough, you have crossed the line!".
A cold snort came from the sky, and Xia Hongzhen disappeared here in an instant.
