Chapter 28 I take you as a brother, you actually want to kill me
In the third month after the Corpse Ghost Sect issued the recruitment order, all the recruited family monks gathered in Wujiangfang City.
Wujiangfang City was overcrowded for a while, and in order to maintain order with so many monks belonging to different families, the Corpse Ghost Sect had to dispatch more foundation-building monks than expected to take charge of affairs.
The person in charge of this operation to clean up the Hengduan Mountains was none other than He Tingjie, a golden elixir monk who had many encounters with the Iron-wire Eagle.
Finally, under the orders of He Tingjian, the Jindan monk of the Corpse Sect, thousands of human monks rolled towards the Hengduan Mountains in a mighty manner.
Fights between life and death are constantly being staged in the Hengduan Mountains.
But what the Corpse Sect didn't expect was that the battle that they thought could end in a short time turned into a battle that lasted for many years.
Not only did it consume countless resources, it even eventually dragged the Xianyuan Sect, which was facing the Corpse Ghost Sect, into this battle.
So on the eastern border of Chaoyang Continent, a protracted battle began between human monks and monster beasts, and the eastern periphery of the Hengduan Mountains became the place where countless lives ended.
The person in charge of the Li family monks in Wujiangfang City is Li Changzhi, the seventh-ranked foundation-building elder in the family.
Before Li Changzhi came to Wujiangfang City, he was in charge of the collection of the Xuan Iron Mine in Xijincheng. At that time, he only needed to leisurely check the mining status of the ore veins regularly, or take advantage of his free time to scold Li Xuantian.
Now, he needs to carefully lead more than 80 Li clan members to survive in this huge whirlpool.
...
Six months after the corpse ghost sect issued the recruitment order, Li Xuangang received news in Taiqiu Mountain that his sixth uncle Li Changyan had died in the Hengduan Mountains.
In the following months, as news was sent back to Taiqiu Mountain one by one, the news of the death of one clan member after another was completely confirmed.
The entire Taiqiu Mountain was shrouded in dark clouds, and at the top of Taiqiu Mountain, the cave where the patriarch retreated showed no signs of opening.
The third uncle Li Qinghuan and the Taizu Li Yishang were missing.
One year after the corpse ghost sect issued the recruitment order, the eighth uncle Li Changji rushed back to Taiqiu Mountain from Binhaifang City to take over the family affairs of the clan leader Li Changqing.
A year and a half after the Corpse Ghost Sect issued the recruitment order, Li Xuantian, who ranked second in the Xuan generation, successfully entered the eighth level of Qi refining and became a first-level weapon refiner.
Then Li Xuantian rushed to the battlefield in the Hengduan Mountains on his own.
Shortly after Li Xuantian entered the eighth level of Qi refining, Li Xuanyuan, the thirteenth member of the Xuan generation who had been practicing in seclusion in Taiqiu Mountain, entered the eighth level of Qi refining. At the same time, he announced the closure of the cave and made an all-out attack on the ninth level of Qi refining.
News came one after another from the west, and Li Xuangang carefully distinguished the authenticity of them.
Fortunately, I haven't heard any bad news about my tenth brother Li Xuankun.
Li Xuangang sat in the cave, his thoughts turning over and over.
I thought this was just an ordinary operation launched by the Corpse Ghost Sect, but I didn't expect it to be so large-scale. However, within a year, less than 70 of the more than 80 clan members sent by the family were left.
At the same time, Li Xuangang deeply felt the need for the patriarch to send his second uncle and fourth uncle away.
Moreover, the deteriorating situation in the Hengduan Mountains also brought a deep sense of crisis to Li Xuangang.
Therefore, while Li Xuangang was practicing, refining elixirs, and planting yellow bud grass, he began to understand and practice the Green Wood Sword Technique in preparation for emergencies.
The Green Wood Sword Technique is one of the few spells with high attack power collected in the Li family library, but not many clan members have understood it and refined it.
Li Xuangang, who thought he would spend some leisure time in Taiqiu Mountain, started to get busy. All the family contribution points earned from alchemy were used by him as resources needed for cultivation.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed since the Zombie Sect launched this battle. After a monster from the Hengduan Mountains attacked a Xianyuan Sect's residence, the Xianyuan Sect in the north of the Zombie Sect announced that
Joined the battle, and then issued recruitment orders to all cultivating families within their sphere of influence.
...
Deep in the southern part of the Hengduan Mountains, two rays of light, one black and one green, moved forward quickly against the ground. From time to time, the sound of gold and iron hitting each other could be heard between the two rays of light. However, both sides seemed to be afraid of disturbing the people in the Hengduan Mountains.
The high-level monsters were restrained and did not use large-scale attack spells.
The two escaping lights chased and then escaped. Finally, the black escaping light in front seemed to have exhausted its spiritual power. It was struck by the sword light of the pursuer behind and fell into a canyon.
Seeing this, the cyan escaping light stopped, suspended in mid-air, and slowly flew towards the canyon.
When the green light fell on the land of the canyon, his body shape and appearance were revealed. He was clearly a man with starry eyebrows and moon eyes, and a handsome face, but his eyes were slightly drooped, giving people a gloomy feeling.
This person's name is Zhang Qiwu. He was a monk from the Zhang family of Wanqun Peak within the Immortal Yuan Sect. Now he has reached the foundation-building realm.
Zhang Qiwu held a cyan third-level spiritual sword and walked slowly towards the figure who fell to the ground. Powerful spiritual power fluctuations gathered on his spiritual sword.
"Li Qinghuan, you and I met each other, but I didn't expect that it was you who harmed me behind my back."
The monk in the black escaping light slowly struggled up from the ground, using the sword-shaped magic weapon in his hand to support himself so as not to fall.
His body was in tatters, and most of his black mysterious clothes were damaged, revealing the wounds inside. The most serious one was a penetrating wound in his abdomen, which almost cut him in half.
When the monk raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiwu, his face was completely revealed. It was Li Qinghuan, the third eldest son of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.
"If I am not as skilled as others, I will admit defeat. I will kill or behead you as you wish. I didn't expect that Zhang Qiwu, the majestic foundation-building monk of Wanqun Peak, would also choose such a villainous method as poisoning."
"You haven't changed at all over the years. You always like to show off your skills. If you hadn't colluded with outsiders to ambush me, what would I have done?"
Zhang Qiwu still stood still, as if he had no intention of killing the person in front of him immediately, but the spiritual power surging around him seemed to indicate that he would launch an attack at any time.
Li Qinghuan's heart sank, remembering what happened five days ago.
Li Qinghuan privately contacted three foundation-building casual cultivators and asked them to ambush him on the road he and Zhang Qiwu must pass.
Unexpectedly, just when he and Zhang Qiwu stepped into the ambush circle that he had preset, Zhang Qiwu suddenly launched an attack on him. If he didn't check for a while, a highly poisonous needle-shaped magic weapon he refined was
After being injured, his spiritual power was always in a suppressed state.
At this time, the three casual cultivators who were cooperating with Li Qinghuan rushed out and stopped Zhang Qiwu who wanted to continue attacking Li Qinghuan. For a while, the four cultivators in the early stage of foundation building were fighting together.
When Li Qinghuan saw that there were three people on his side, he was not in a hurry to join the battle, but chose to deal with the toxins that entered his body first.
But before Li Qinghuan could remove the toxins from his body, Zhang Qiwu, who had just been pressed down and beaten by three casual cultivators, instantly experienced a huge wave of spiritual energy.
Zhang Qiwu was originally only in the early stage of foundation building, but now it seems that he is actually in the middle stage of foundation building.
When the three casual cultivators saw this, they secretly thought: This person had hidden his cultivation before.
And if it weren't for the fact that Li Qinghuan was also injured by him, the three casual cultivators would have almost suspected that they had fallen into a trap jointly set by the two of them.
Fortunately, I still have three people here who are in the early stage of foundation building. Without holding anything back, it is very possible to keep Zhang Qiwu in the middle stage of foundation building here.
Therefore, the next attacks of the three casual cultivators were even sharper. However, they discovered something was wrong as soon as they fought against Zhang Qiwu. This man's strength had already exceeded that of an ordinary mid-stage foundation-building cultivator, and the third-level spiritual sword in his hand was extremely powerful.
In the end, Zhang Qiwu caught the flaw of the three casual cultivators and used a powerful sword energy, killing two of the casual cultivators with one blow. The remaining one saw that something was wrong and immediately ran away.
However, Zhang Qiwu didn't care about the two casual cultivators who had been killed, nor Li Qinghuan, who was still controlling the toxins in his body. Instead, he turned into a ray of light and chased the escaped cultivator.
When Zhang Qiwu came back with the head of the casual cultivator, the bodies of the two casual cultivators on the ground and the storage bags on their bodies were gone.
Zhang Qiwu casually threw the human head aside, sniffed the air, and then revealed a smile on his lips.
"Li Qinghuan, you can't escape."
After saying that, it turned into a blue escaping light and flew towards the deep south of the Hengduan Mountains.
After chasing for a day, they finally caught up with Li Qinghuan, and the two had a big battle. Of course, Li Qinghuan, who was only in the early stage of foundation building, was no match for Zhang Qiwu, and he was still injured, so he was quickly defeated.
Come.
However, Li Qinghuan's escape skills were quite good, and he had narrowly escaped death at the hands of Zhang Qiwu several times with his escape skills.
Finally, after flying continuously for four days regardless of the loss of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in Li Qinghuan's body was exhausted, and Zhang Qiwu, who was catching up, shot him down with a sword energy.
Then the scene where the two people were talking just now appeared.
...
"Li Qinghuan, you and I were only in the Qi Refining stage when we met. After so many years, it's really not easy for you to still recognize me at a glance among the many monks in Wujiangfang City."
Li Qinghuan coughed up two mouthfuls of blood foam, then took a healing pill, raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiwu, and said frivolously:
"Thank you, Taoist Brother Zhang. Fortunately, Mr. Li learned a secret technique for training his eyes. At first glance, it seems that Taoist Brother Zhang's disguise is too crude."
Zhang Qiwu replied: "It's just a pretense. I originally thought that the news of the family's destruction would not reach the scope of the Corpse Ghost Sect so quickly. I didn't expect that I would be recognized by you even though I was wearing a ghost mask. When you took the initiative to find me,
When you fell in love with me, did you think I didn't know what your plans were? Li Qinghuan, you think too simply about Zhang. How do you think I survived that genocide battle?"
Li Qinghuan stood up again, raised the spirit sword in his hand, pointed it at Zhang Qiwu and said.
"Not much to say, I covet the legacy left by Wan Qun Shan on you. You have seen through the plan, and I am not as good as others. Now that Li is still capable of fighting, let us put an end to this."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiwu burst out laughing.
"Do you think I'm a soft-hearted person? The reason why I didn't kill you right away was just to see what else you could do. You tried your best to bring me here, and you didn't kill me right away.
All of your trump cards are revealed one by one. How can I match your painstaking plan? Isn’t it a waste of all your efforts?"
Although he said this, Zhang Qiwu still exercised great caution and paid close attention to the surrounding situation. However, since he knew that this might be a trap but still dared to come in, he naturally had his own support.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qinghua straightened up, and the original decadent air in his body was swept away, replaced by majestic spiritual energy bursting out from his body.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiwu smiled.
"As expected, if Li Daoyou's trump card is limited to this, then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it."
"Whether there is anything you can do is not something you can just say. You have to fight to know."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qinghuan turned into an erratic figure and attacked Zhang Qiwu.
Zhang Qiwu patted his storage bag and took out a water-blue bead. After being activated, a blue light curtain instantly formed around his body.
And Li Qinghuan used the second-level spiritual sword to use the powerful Green Wood Sword Technique, but he was unable to break through the defense of the blue light screen.
The green sword energy dissipated one by one on the blue light screen, without having the slightest effect.
Just when Zhang Qi had determined that the opponent had no backup, he was about to use his true strength to deal with the opponent as soon as possible.
Four pillars of light suddenly rose up throughout the canyon, enclosing the entire canyon space.
"Someone else activated the formation."
Zhang Qiwu immediately realized that there were other people here. Could this be Li Qinghuan's back-up plan?
