Although Su Xing didn't know Zhao Fan, since he was qualified to take on the immortal-level mission, it meant that he was at least a martial arts disciple who had achieved great success in the Huayuan Realm.
In addition, he was born in Xuanguang Taoist Academy, and his own methods should be quite advanced, but he still fell into the hands of the ferocious beast on the mountain.
The sixth-level ferocious beast killed the Huayuan Realm disciple from Xuanguang Taoist Academy. If Zhao Fan hadn't really disappeared, Su Xing would never believe it.
Earlier, the village chief Zhang Lusheng said that there had been a strange phenomenon in the mountains three days ago. Perhaps that ferocious beast had already reached the peak of the sixth-level ferocious beasts at this time.
Although the situation was not optimistic, Su Xing still looked at Zhang Lusheng and said in a solemn tone:
"Village Chief Zhang, don't worry. The sect sent me down the mountain this time just because it believed in my strength. But I'm afraid the beast is much stronger now than it was a month ago. I wonder if you can go find a place for me in the village."
With the unused house, let me be fully prepared before going up the mountain?"
Zhang Lusheng was moved when he saw Su Xing's serious look, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but burst out.
He blushed, wiped away his tears, held Su Xing's hand with a pair of calloused hands, and nodded solemnly.
"Master Su knows that the mountains are dangerous, but he is still willing to help the people of Xiushui Village climb mountains and eliminate demons. This really impresses us. There are many vacant houses in the village. Sir, please come with me."
"Village Chief Zhang, I am just a junior in front of you. It would be too serious to call me "adult". You can just call me by my name."
Su Xing's words made Zhang Lusheng pause again and his eyes widened slightly.
He has been the village chief of Xiushui Village for at least eleven or twelve years. He has seen countless immortal masters on the mountain, and he has also seen many young men of the same age as Su Xing. However, none of them looked aloof after coming here.
?
Unknowingly, Su Xing's status in Zhang Lusheng's mind rose to a higher level. At the same time, a flame called hope ignited in his heart that was originally filled with despair.
"Maybe this young man really has the ability to kill that ferocious beast."
Zhang Lusheng did not dare to neglect any more, and immediately left the yard with Su Xing and walked towards an empty room on the south side of the village.
Along the way, many villagers came out of their houses and looked at Zhang Lusheng and Su Xing in surprise, with despair and fear in their eyes.
Most of them were pale, huddled up, holding their arms with their hands, looking very weak.
Su Xing remembered this scene in his mind, and thought to himself that the Lingwu Continent was not all composed of martial arts practitioners like them. What supported this world was first of all these seemingly powerless people.
But they are actually very capable people!
He secretly made a vow in his heart, vowing to cut the ferocious beasts on the mountain into pieces so that these villagers could return to a happy and peaceful life.
When the villagers of Xiushui Village saw Zhang Lusheng settling Su Xing in an empty room, they all gathered around the village chief Zhang Lusheng.
"Village Chief, this...is also a disciple sent by Wanjian Sect?"
A skinny old woman looked at Zhang Lusheng.
Zhang Rusheng nodded and said nothing. He knew that this old man had just lost her son in his prime who was the breadwinner of the family a month ago. A month after his disappearance, she looked more than ten years older.
"Pooh!"
Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly spat towards the empty room where Su Xing lived. His body trembled slightly with excitement, and he pointed at Zhang Lusheng and said:
"It seems that Wanjian Sect is really planning to abandon our Xiushui Village. When will they send ordinary disciples here? In my opinion, they must want that ferocious beast to eat us all, and then let those
Here comes the extravagant old fellow!"
"That's it! That's it!"
The old woman's words obviously stirred up many villagers who had been holding grudges for a long time. Everyone shouted loudly and supported the old woman's statement.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Zhang Lusheng, who was standing at the head of the crowd, shouted loudly, calming the crowd.
He frowned and glanced around the crowd, sighed and said:
"No matter what, this gentleman is our life-saving straw in Xiushui Village. He is only thinking about how to get you back to normal life, but you are here to question him. If he hears it, be careful not to care about us!"
"Master Su has already said that in three days he will go up the mountain to slay the monster and come back to see us with the monster's body."
"Heh... maybe that monster came down the mountain to find us."
The old woman was obviously not convinced by Zhang Lusheng. After making a sneer, she walked away with staggering steps.
Zhang Lusheng looked at her back and sighed helplessly.
"Stop looking and go back to the house. You'll have to endure it for a few more days at most." He dismissed the onlookers distractedly.
The chaotic footsteps of the crowd as they left fell on the ears of Su Xing, who was leaning against the door of an empty room. He had just heard all the people's attitudes towards this matter.
"A ferocious beast causing trouble in the mountains has disrupted the lives of generations of people in the villages below."
He sighed, turned around, walked to the bed, and sat cross-legged on it.
To face a terrifying beast with unknown strength, what he had prepared before was far from enough. Sitting on the bed, Su Xing took out third-grade spiritual stones one after another from the ring. In the end, he even took out a few pieces of brilliance.
A vast fourth-grade spiritual stone.
The ferocious beast that could kill Zhao Fan from the Xuanguang Taoist Academy must have different strength and methods from the ordinary sixth-level ferocious beasts. Zhao Fan must have underestimated the enemy at the beginning, so he died tragically under its claws.
"Although this is not the right thing to say, with Zhao Fan's past experience, it would be a bit outrageous if I were still defeated at the hands of that ferocious beast."
After preparing all the materials, Su Xing closed his eyes.
A few breaths later, the villagers who had returned to their adobe houses only felt a strong wind blowing towards the room prepared for the immortal master on the mountain.
Some brave young people opened the windows and looked outside, only to see a red and black star in the sky that flickered on and off. In a short moment, it seemed to be about to fall and hung on the horizon, opposite to the sun.
Flush.
Seeing this scene, the young people were so frightened that their mouths opened wide, their eyes widened, and their lower bodies in the room began to tremble.
The villagers thought this was a ferocious beast on the mountain showing off its power, so they knelt in their ancestral halls and murmured words, hoping that the gods of their ancestors could protect their safety and that this terrible scene would pass quickly.
What only made them feel disappointed and scared was the raging wind, the red and black stars so close at hand, and the looming shadow of the sky-holding sword on the horizon...
These horrific scenes lasted for three days.
…
Three days later, in the extremely silent Xiushui Village, a very harsh sound suddenly came out.
"squeak--"
In three days, this was the first time people hiding in the house heard the sound of someone opening the door.
Like gophers, the villagers poked their heads out of the windows curiously, looking around to see which guy who was not afraid of death dared to go out at this time.
However, what they saw was a young man wearing a yellow robe.
The young man has delicate features and an extraordinary appearance, with steady and steady steps carrying the wind, a strong and upright posture and a cool and unrestrained posture, with a long brass sword at his waist.
Seeing this young man, Zhang Lusheng, who was looking out through the crack in the door, quickly opened the door and walked to Su Xing's side in a few steps.
"Su Da... Su Xing, are you ready?"
Su Xing looked at Zhang Lusheng and nodded kindly, looking confident.
"That's good." Zhang Lusheng looked around cautiously, then walked to Su Xing's side and whispered in his ear:
"Remember, if you feel that you can't defeat the monster, don't be brave, go back to the sect and ask other immortal masters to come down the mountain to save us."
Su Xing felt warm in his heart and bowed his hands to Zhang Lusheng.
"Su Xing has remembered what Village Chief Zhang said. But don't worry, Village Chief, the reason why I have to retreat in that room for three days is to be fully confident that everyone in Xiushui Village can return to their original lives."
He said this very loudly and reached the ears of every household in the village.
After saying goodbye, Su Xing bowed again, turned around and walked towards the outside of the village.
At this time, several figures walked out of the originally quiet adobe house.
Most of the men, women, and children in Xiushui Village walked out of the house one after another, and the expressions on their faces had completely changed from despair to respect.
They looked at Su Xing's back as he left alone. The scene was very similar to another young man who came here before and said similar words but never returned.
Although the last ending was unsatisfactory, it did not prevent them from being in awe of this new boy.
Looking at Su Xing's leaving figure, the villagers bowed deeply.
