Chapter 54: Breath of Death

I pretended to sigh and said: "Last time during the battle with the demon and beast tribes, although I broke out of the siege, I also ran into the territory of the orc country, because their army had blocked the way back to the fortress.

For safety reasons, I could only carefully enter the realm of the orcs, lurk in the forest, and make a living by hunting small beasts. It was not until a few days ago that their troops were repulsed by us, and I found the opportunity to sneak back. Because in the

I was injured in that battle. After I came back, I recuperated in a city near Stru Fortress for a period of time. I waited until the injury was completely healed before returning to the imperial capital. I only came back a few days ago. Since I left the academy

It took too long, and I thought my student status might have been removed, so I didn’t go back. I was afraid that Zixue would be worried, so I wanted to come and see her."

The Duke said coldly: "Who are you lying to? If you want to see Zixue, won't you ask for it through the gate? You have to jump over the wall to get in, and break into the house at night to commit adultery or robbery. What is your purpose?"

I smiled bitterly and said: "What purpose can I have? Apart from wanting to meet Zixue, I also have one thing to tell you this time."

The Duke said: "Oh? What's the matter?"

I whispered: "Do you remember the woman I told you about last time? I saw her again this time in the orc country. I know you don't want others to know about her, so you climbed over the wall and entered.

.”

As soon as he mentioned his mother, the Duke's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees. He grabbed my shoulders eagerly and said, "What? You saw her again. Come on, tell me how she is? Are you there?"

Tell her about me."

I knew that the Duke was sincere to his mother, otherwise, with his sophistication, he would not reveal his inner feelings so easily. I pulled his hand away and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, it's like this

, I met the lady in an orc village, and her complexion was much better than before. She found her son and lived with him."

The Duke said in astonishment: "Son? She also has a son?"

I nodded and said: "Her son is quite filial to her. With good conditioning, the lady's health has improved a lot. I told her about meeting you, and she was as excited as you. I see

, she is still thinking about you."

There were tears in the Duke's eyes and he murmured: "Lingling, Lingling, I really miss you." He grabbed me again and said excitedly: "Tell me where she is and take me to find her."

, I’m going to find her now.”

"Calm down, don't be so impulsive, and listen to me, okay?"

The Duke said anxiously: "How can you tell me to calm down? Finally there is news about her again. I am really eager to see her now."

I said seriously: "Don't forget, you are the Duke of the Dragon God Empire, and she is now in the orc country. You should know better than me what the consequences will be if you appear in the orc land. You can't rush this matter, I

I once asked the lady if she wanted to see you again." I paused at this point.

The Duke asked: "Then how will she answer?"

I sighed and said: "She said she didn't want to see you anymore. She said she didn't have the face to see you and didn't want to cause you any more trouble. Let me tell you to forget about her and treat her as if she never appeared.

Better than her."

The color on the Duke's face faded, and he seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. He took two steps back and said tremblingly: "Why? Why do you want me to forget you, Lingling, do you think I can forget you in this life?"

I said flatly: "Don't you care about her past?"

The Duke shook his head and said: "Of course I don't care, that's not what she wanted. She is a weak woman with no strength. It is very difficult for her to survive in the orc country until now. I can handle all the pain that happened to her."

Understand, in my heart, she will always be the pure and pure Lingling. Come on, tell me, I will go find her now and explain to her clearly. I must take her back to Dragon God and never be separated from her again.

Already."

I was greatly relieved. It seemed that my decision to let my mother come back to reunite with the Duke was not wrong. The Duke was worthy of my mother's love. I smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the lady also hopes to return to her motherland.

I have promised her that I will definitely help her come back. If you don't want to come forward for this kind of thing, it is best for me to do it. I came back this time just to explore the way first. If there is no place where the Dragon God can accept her, she comes back.

It will only be more painful, and I feel relieved if you say so."

The Duke said in shock: "Do you have a way to bring her back?"

I nodded and said: "I have been living with the orcs for a few days this time, and I have already found a way back. After I deal with some things here, I will go back to pick her up. Do you know what that lady's biggest wish is?

?”

The Duke shook his head blankly.

I said in a deep voice: "That lady's biggest wish is to return to her homeland and hide in a corner to take a secret look at you."

The Duke lost his voice and said: "What?" He could no longer control his tears and said sadly: "Lingling, why are you so stupid? Don't worry, I will give you the greatest happiness. I will never see you again.

I will never be separated from you again."

I looked at the tearful Duke and whispered: "What would the Duchess do if you did this to that lady?" I must ask this question, and I must make the best preparations for my mother.

Upon hearing my question, the Duke was obviously stunned and said blankly: "Madam? What should I do?"

I smiled slightly and said: "I have already thought about it for you. With your strength, you should be able to buy a small courtyard."

The Duke suddenly said: "You want me to hide your beauty in the golden house. How can this be done? It's too unfair to Lingling."

I shook my head and said: "That lady has no desires and demands now. She never wants to disturb your current life, so this is the best way."

The Duke stared at me carefully, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, "Why do you want to help me like this?"

I sighed softly and said: "First of all, I hope that you and the lady can finally get married. Secondly, I also have selfish motives. I have helped you so much, and you will never object to me and Zixue again."

It's over." Actually, it's more my mother's fault now. I still don't know what happened to Sister Zixue, and the possibility that they won't forgive me is very high.

The Duke's excitement calmed down, and he wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have helped me so much. I really can't stop you and Zixue. As long as she is willing, I very much approve of you being together.

What are your plans now?"

His last question was obviously asking me when I would pick up his mother for him. I smiled and said, "I want to find Zixue first. Can you tell me her whereabouts?"

The Duke said: "Of course, she and her sister and some classmates went to participate in the friendship exchange between the four major colleges of Longshen on behalf of Tiandu College. You can definitely find them at Xilun College in Xilun City. They have left for a long time.

It won’t be long, the exchange competition should start the day after tomorrow. It takes three days to get there by Kuai Ma from here to Silon City.”

I nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Duke, then I will set off now. Next time I see you, I will definitely bring the lady with me."

The Duke showed joy on his face and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, don't be too hasty, be sure to pay attention to safety. You, say hello to her for me, just say that I am always thinking of her, no matter what happens."

, I will always..." The Duke's face turned red, but with a firm look in his eyes, he continued: "I will always love her."

I was moved in my heart, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will bring her back to you safely. You should also take care of yourself. I'll take my leave."

The Duke personally took me to the door of the palace and watched me disappear into the dark night.

Knowing the whereabouts of Zixue and the others, I felt a lot more relaxed. How should I get to Silun City? I opened the map I carried with me. The map showed that Silun City is to the south of the imperial capital. This is great, as it is further away from Baiyan Mountain.

Far away, if the Beast King knew about my current actions, he would definitely say that I don’t distinguish between public and private matters. However, anyway, the so-called colorful rays of light are just illusory things, so let’s ignore them for the time being, and the Dragon God’s people are not here either.

It's so easy to find that treasure. It's better to go and explain it clearly to Zixue and the others while your faith is firm.

After leaving the imperial capital, I found a deserted place, transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, flew quietly, and headed towards Silun at full speed. While flying, I thought to myself, if I had stayed here all the time,

If I were at Tiandu College, maybe I would be a part of this competition. I am not worried about Zi Yan's safety at all. Although she will participate in the exchange competition, with her appearance and the sacred aura she exudes,

No man can think of harming her.

The cool breeze in the sky makes me feel refreshed. The dark magic power in my body is running slowly, and the energy in my body is always at its peak. At this speed, I will almost reach my destination early tomorrow morning.

Just when I felt that I was powerful, suddenly, a strange energy rushed into my brain. My eyes turned gray, and the breath of death instantly enveloped my whole body. I felt unspeakable discomfort in my heart.

Surprised, I quickly used my dark magic power to expel this energy. However, after encountering this energy, the dark magic power did not reject it. It flowed through the meridians just like normal practice.

There was a stabbing pain in my brain, which made me break out in a cold sweat. I suddenly realized that this must be the death energy that my father said remained in my body. I didn't dare to neglect, and carefully controlled the four

The wings slowly landed on the ground, and the breath of death kept attacking my senses. An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness spread throughout my body.

Dark energy is my greatest strength, and even it can't do anything. I can only endure it reluctantly. There is a faint gray gas around my body, and I can feel that it is constantly eroding my meridians. No,

If this continues, I will be corroded by it.

Because I transformed into a four-winged fallen angel, I was always extremely calm at the spiritual platform. I found that the dark magic seemed to have a symbiotic effect on this deadly breath of death, so I quickly dispersed the dark magic. Without the dark magic, my body

The body has returned to its original state, and the feeling of powerlessness has become stronger, but the spread of the aura of death has also slowed down.

Since the dark magic power is not enough, I will try using the Mad God Fighting Qi. I gritted my teeth and controlled my consciousness, urging the pure Mad God Fighting Qi in my Dantian to slowly rise up, trying to use them to stop the spreading death aura.

When they met, the breath of death seemed to be a little afraid of the fighting spirit of the mad god, and I shrank back. I suddenly became energetic and accelerated the release of the fighting spirit of the mad god. The fighting spirit of the mad god gradually gained the upper hand, and gradually forced the breath of death to a

In the corner, just when I wanted to use the Mad God Fighting Qi to destroy it, the gray energy suddenly disappeared without a trace. No matter how I searched, I could not find their existence. As they disappeared, I

My body has returned to normal, and the feeling of powerlessness is gone. This energy comes and goes quickly, but it makes me feel extremely heavy, because I understand that I have not eliminated them, and God knows when it will happen next time.

.

I sat on the ground in shock, feeling extremely hesitant about my fate for a moment. If this death energy continues to grow stronger, one day they will destroy me. No wonder my father said that necromancers are terrible. It seems that forbidden magic is good for me.

My injury will probably stay with me for the rest of my life. As I gradually regained consciousness, I felt that my whole body was soaked with sweat, and it was greasy and extremely uncomfortable. When I was slumped, the crisp sound of horse hooves came to my ears, and I listened intently.

, there were about a dozen horses heading in my current direction at high speed, and the sound gradually became clearer. With my extraordinary eyesight, I saw a group of humans wearing various costumes riding toward me on horses.

As I got closer, I could see clearly that there were eleven riders in total, most of them were young people, except for two middle-aged people over forty years old. They were wearing warrior or magician costumes respectively. I struggled to stand up.

, I wanted to make way for them, but at this time, the other party also noticed me. The leading middle-aged man slowed down his horse and raised his hand to signal to his companions that something was going on.

When he came closer, he reined in the maroon horse and looked me up and down. He saw the steel-like muscles exposed on my upper body (I flew with my upper body bare, otherwise I would ruin one piece of clothing at a time).

Okay, and because the vest Zi Yan gave me was made according to two wings, it is no longer suitable to wear for transformation now.) With the stalwart figure, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked harmoniously: "Little brother

, what’s wrong with you, what are you doing here alone at night?”

I could feel the energy fluctuations emanating from his body. This man was quite powerful. He replied with a calm expression: "It's quiet at night. I'll practice here alone."

The middle-aged man looked at the sweat on my body, nodded and said, "It's better to go back early in this barren mountain."

I took out a towel from the package and wiped my body, put on my clothes and said, "I was planning to go to Xilun City. I walked here and practiced for a while when I saw that there were no people around, and then I was on my way."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Oh, you are also going to Silon City, and so are we. If you don't mind, let's go together. You are walking too slowly. Let's get a horse for you."

My heart warmed, and I looked at him. There was sincerity in the middle-aged man's eyes. This man was really enthusiastic, but I really didn't dare to transform and fly on the road now. Thinking about the change that just happened, I still feel a little scared.

"Is this appropriate?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "What's appropriate or not? My students are also young people. If they are accompanied on the road, they will not be lonely. Siyu, you and Lianlu ride a horse, and I will take you

Give it to this little brother."

A girl in a blue magic robe at the back responded, jumped off her white horse, and got on the black horse of another girl in a red magic robe. Their magic robes were all so wide that I couldn't see clearly.

appearance.

I saluted the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you, uncle."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Why are you so polite? Get on your horse. It's time for us to get on our way."

As I rode on the white horse, my heart filled with thoughts of the black dragon. I don’t know what happened to the black dragon at Mo Yue’s place.

So, I joined this small team of more than ten people. I rarely spoke along the way, but from their conversations, I was surprised to learn that they were actually Songzhi Academy, one of the four major colleges that went to Xilun City for exchanges.

Teachers and students, the middle-aged man who invited me to join was the dean of Songzhi College named Mengfu (the punishment was so severe, no wonder he became the dean).

"Hey, you talk very little? Why are you bringing this thing?" A young man in black clothes said to me. I was wearing a veiled hat.

I said calmly: "There is wind and sand on the road, I am used to carrying this thing."

The young man in black stretched out his hand to me and said, "Let's get to know each other. My name is Feng Duo, and I am a second-year student of the Martial Arts Department of Songzhi Academy." I held his hand, nodded and said, "My name is Lei Xiang, and I am a wanderer.

Bar."

There was a weird smile on Feng Duo's face, and I felt his hand suddenly become hot. It turned out that this boy's fighting spirit was more masculine. I let him hold it without caring. The smile on Feng Duo's face gradually disappeared, and he found that

No matter how hard I try, my hands are neither soft nor hard, neither fighting back nor flinching.

Mengfu noticed the anomaly on our side and shouted: "Fonduo, what are you doing?" He slowed down and lined up with us.

Feng Duo let go of his hand in embarrassment and said, "Teacher Meng, it's nothing. I just want to get to know Brother Lei Xiang."

Mengfu glared at him accusingly, and just as he was about to say something, Feng Duo rushed over and said, "Brother Lei, your sword looks very unique, can you let me have a look?"

I stretched out my hand and took off Mo Ming and handed it to him. Feng Duo reached out and took it. Unprepared, his hand suddenly dropped and almost dropped Mo Ming to the ground. He was so frightened that he quickly tightened his grip before he could hold on.

He sighed, "It's so heavy."

Mengfu was also shocked, so I didn’t blame him anymore. I ignored Fengduo and said to Mengfu: “Teacher Meng, how do you communicate between the four major colleges?”

Mengfu sighed and said: "What kind of exchange is, in fact, it is just to compete with each other and compete for fame to see which college's students have stronger kung fu. This invitational competition is held by the four major colleges in turn. This time it is Xi Lun's turn, regardless of

Wherever they are, the exchanges between the four major colleges will be open to the local people and the martial arts will be promoted. Our Songzhi College has always been the weakest among the four major colleges. This time, we are just reporting on the mentality of using martial arts to make friends."

"Oh? A competition? What kind of competition?"

Meng Fu smiled and said: "You are also a warrior at first glance. The competition between our four colleges is nothing more than drawing lots first and dividing them into two sides for the competition. Each side will send six students, one by one, and the loser will go down. If you win,

The competition will continue until all students on one side have failed. The winning and losing colleges will take a day off and compete again. Finally, the seats of the colleges will be determined. Each college is allowed one or two substitutes, and the formation can be changed on the spot.

You don’t know, in order to compete for the name of the Dragon God’s No. 1 Academy..." At this point, he sighed.

I nodded and said, "I hope you can win."

Mengfu shook his head and said: "The other three academies are almost equal in strength, but we are slightly worse. We will definitely be eliminated in the first round. To be honest, as long as the academy can produce an outstanding talent, it will have a lot of power in the competition.

The biggest advantage is, for example, in the upper realm, Tiandu Academy produced Riva, and he defeated five people from our academy by himself, so we had to abstain. Talents are rare."

"Well, I once stayed in the capital. I heard that Riva has been promoted to Dragon Knight. Without him this time, wouldn't your chances be greater?"

Meng Fu said: "It's not that simple. Think about it, if the college ranks high, it will naturally attract more talents. Who knows if any of them will have great newcomers this time. Lei Xiang, I see your foundation

You have a good background and are not too old. Are you interested in joining our Songzhi College? The teachers in our college are pretty good."

Wow, wasn't that why he asked me to go on the road with them in the first place? I shook my head and said, "No, to be honest with you, I went to Silun City this time to find someone. And I think, I

There is no need to go to the academy to study anymore.”

Although what I said was very arrogant, Mengfu did not feel that I was arrogant. Instead, he was shocked by the domineering air coming from me.

Feng Duo on the side curled his lips and said: "Really? Brother Lei, learning is very important for a person. As the saying goes, you should live until you are old and learn. Our Songzhi Academy is very good." He handed me a weird

Looking at him, he whispered: "Besides, there are many beauties." Surprisingly, Mengfu didn't stop him from saying this, as if he didn't hear him.

Feng Duo pointed at Siyu and Lianlu who were riding a horse in front of them, obviously telling me that they are beauties. I can't thank you enough for this. I haven't solved my relationship problems now, let alone find a new love.

Now, I am very indifferent to beautiful women and avoid them at all costs.

As soon as I stretched out my hand and sucked Mo Ming, the mad god's fighting energy burst out, and the whole body exuded a fierce aura to cover Feng Duo. Feng Duo's whole body trembled, and he almost fell off the horse. He tried his best to summon up the fighting energy to counteract my momentum, and said with a pale face.

I was speechless. I smiled in my heart, withdrew my intimidating aura, and said: "Now, do you think I still need to go to your college?" I don't want them to make unnecessary entanglements in order to let me join Songzhi College.

You can show some strength and let them retreat in spite of difficulties.

Feng Duo's whole body went numb and he was speechless. Meng Fa beside him felt that the energy I emitted was no weaker than his, and he was shocked, "It turns out that little brother Lei is hiding something secretly. I really want to know what it is."

A person can train an outstanding disciple like you."

I smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, maybe you will know about it when you get to Silon City."

Mengfu knew that there was no hope of accepting me as a disciple, so he sighed and urged his mount to rush forward.

A petite voice came: "What are you crazy about? Do you think our academy cares about you? Let's see what happens." The fire magician Lian Lu, who was wearing a red magic robe in front, became angry. He waved his staff at me sideways.

A large series of fireballs was thrown.

Mengfu shouted: "Lotus dew, no."

This is a third-level magic. Seeing that she can use it so quickly, it is obvious that the magic is not weak. I recited the spell silently, and a soft barrier appeared in front of me. The fireballs hit me and ripples appeared on the barrier.

A puff of white smoke appeared and disappeared.

The water magician Si Yu who was riding with her said in surprise: "Water Mirror Technique."

I used a water-based second-level defensive magic, but it blocked her third-level offensive magic. Mengfu stopped Lianlu, who was about to take action, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make mistakes, I'll let you go."

Can you tell?"

Lian Lu said angrily: "I can't stand his arrogant and domineering look."

Am I arrogant? Why didn't I realize it? It seems that I need to pay more attention.

I carried Mo Ming on my back and said harmoniously: "If there was any offense just now, please forgive me."

Lian Lu snorted and stopped talking, and the small storm passed just like that.

Feng Duo said to me in a low voice: "Brother Lei, your kung fu is so good, even that shrewd girl was defeated, hehe." It seems that this boy has suffered from Lotus Dew before, otherwise he would not be so gloating about his misfortune.

In order not to let them think that I was too arrogant, I said calmly: "Kung fu is all practiced. As long as you put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded."

A strong student who was also lagging behind said: "Although hard work is important, understanding is also indispensable. The faster you understand, the faster you will progress. Brother Lei, we are almost the same age, but your kung fu is better than ours.

I'm really impressed." I knew his name was Tian Xing, and like me, he seldom spoke, but I could tell that among these students, his skills were the highest.

I said humbly: "Brother Tianxing's skill is just as good as mine, but he just doesn't show it as sharply as me."

Tian Xing smiled slightly and shook his head noncommittally.

…………

"Ah, look, that's Silon City," the lively Fondo shouted.

At the far end of the horizon, a large city appeared in our field of vision. In terms of scale, this city is no less than the capital of Dragon God. Mengfu said: "Yes, that is Silun. Let's speed up and try to get there by noon."

When we entered the city before, people from the other three colleges might have arrived early."

As soon as we entered Xilun City, we were stopped by several young samurai. The first one said politely: "Excuse me, are you from Songzhi Academy?"

Mengfu smiled and nodded: "Yes. Are you?"

Bushido: "We are students from Silen Academy and we are responsible for waiting for you here."

Mengfu signaled everyone to dismount, nodded to the warrior, and said, "Then please lead the way."

The warrior saluted, turned and walked in front. I walked up to Mengfu and said, "Teacher Meng, thank you for taking care of me along the way. I think it's time for us to break up."

Mengfuda said: "Since you are here, come with us."

I shook my head, "No, I've already troubled you a lot. When you participate in the college exchange, I will go to watch the ceremony." If you go with them, you will definitely meet people from Tiandu, and I don't want to meet them so early.

Mengfu nodded and said: "In that case, I won't keep you. Be careful. If you want to come to our academy in the future, you are always welcome."

I said a few more polite words and watched them leave with the receiving warriors. When I was leaving, Fondo also gave me a small gemstone, saying that it was kept as a souvenir. Although it was not a precious thing, it touched my heart.

A warm current flowed through. The emotions between humans are indeed much heavier than those between monsters and beasts. Lianlu, on the other hand, glared at me fiercely when she passed me. It seemed that she still held grudges, although

I couldn't see her face clearly, but her big, hateful and bright eyes left a deep impression on me.

The city of Shillun was very lively, obviously related to the promotion of this exchange. I finally found a hotel to stay. I heard the waiter here said that as early as a few days ago, many hotels were already full, and with young people

Most of them came to see this exchange competition between the four major colleges.

I put my baggage in my room, ate something casually, and lay quietly on the bed, with thoughts flowing in my mind. Tomorrow, I will be able to see Zi Xue and Zi Yan, who are longing for me. When will I tell them?

To explain, should I go to them directly? No, that would affect Zi Yan’s performance in the exchange competition. It’s better to wait until the exchange competition is over before meeting with them. Thinking of this, I felt light-hearted and could drag her back two steps.

Oh my god. I also understand that I am escaping, but I really don’t want to lose them.

When I walked out of the hotel, the street was very busy. There were many people openly setting up a casino to see who would be the final winner of this competition. After asking about it, I found out that this was set up by the management of Xilun City. It is absolutely guaranteed. I'm leaving

When I went to a booth with a lot of people, there was a big sign with the odds of several colleges. The one with the highest odds was Songzhi College, which actually reached 24 to 1, followed by Tiandu College.

The odds are 16 to 1, and then Xilun College is 8 to 1. The one with the lowest odds, that is, Fengdong College, the favorite to win, only has 1 to 2. I curiously asked the person next to me: "Isn't Tiandu College the champion of the upper world?

?Why are the odds so high?”

The person next to me looked at me up and down and said, "Are you not from here, and you want to bet on it? Let me tell you, the people in Tiandu Academy are in trouble, and their ace student Riva has been promoted to Dragon Knight.

, I heard that this time they came with no hope of winning the championship. They just wanted to train the young students and wait for them to fight again in the lower world. But Fengdong Academy is different. They have the strongest combination, and the players participating in the competition are

Four martial arts students and two magic students have all participated in the Upper Realm competition. Everyone has good strength. They are the favorites to win the upper realm. Unfortunately, Liva came out of heaven and one person defeated three of them. That's why

After finishing second, I think Fengdong will not give other colleges a chance this year no matter what. That’s why his odds are so low. Let me tell you, I plan to beat them by 50 gold coins. If I win, hehe..."
