Xiao Nanfeng fell from a high altitude and broke a lush branch. With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out. He lay on the ground in pain and did not want to move for a long time.
"It hurts...but...I won!" Xiao Nanfeng looked at the body of the golden crow demon next to him with a look of joy on his face.
After lying there for a while, Xiao Nanfeng crawled towards the body of the golden crow demon with difficulty, and pulled out the dagger from its head.
"No wonder this dagger costs three hundred taels of gold. It's really sharp, cough!" Xiao Nanfeng suffered an internal injury and couldn't help coughing.
The dagger sliced open the golden crow demon's abdomen, and a large amount of blood spurted out, splashing Xiao Nanfeng's face. However, he could no longer care about it and quickly reached into the crow demon's belly to search for it.
Soon, Xiao Nanfeng's eyes lit up and he took out the purple smoke poison pill wrapped in blood and gastric juice.
"There is still one-sixth of the size. This crow demon corpse can be worth at least one thousand taels of gold! It's not a loss!" Xiao Nanfeng carefully put away the remaining purple smoke poison pills.
Suddenly, Xiao Nanfeng thought of something and reached into the crow demon's belly again to search. After a while, Xiao Nanfeng took out a small golden ball.
The small ball was burning with a vague flame, very hot, and at the same time, it was burning and dissipating little by little.
"Is it the inner elixir condensed by the golden crow demon? Good stuff!" Xiao Nanfeng's eyes lit up.
In the previous battle, the energy in its inner elixir had been consumed a lot, and it was dissipating rapidly at this moment, but even so, Xiao Nanfeng could still feel the huge hot energy contained in the inner elixir.
"Wasting is shameful, now I will refine you!" A flash of expectation flashed in Xiao Nanfeng's eyes.
Xiao Nanfeng swallowed the inner elixir in one gulp, and he didn't care even if he was injured.
The inner elixir entered his abdomen and quickly dispersed into a huge yang energy, which went straight to Xiao Nanfeng's limbs and bones. He suddenly felt his whole body burning, and then was hit by this energy and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"What a huge power!" Xiao Nanfeng's expression changed.
Quickly sit cross-legged and perform the Chaoyang Kung Fu.
I saw Xiao Nanfeng's body exuding a soft golden light, and there was a faint layer of golden flames spurting out from his pores. The flames burned his body and caused him severe pain, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted in refining the inner elixir.
An hour later, the golden light on the body's surface slowly faded away, and with a bang, a stream of air surged from the body's surface, causing the grass around it to tremble violently.
Xiao Nanfeng slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "The ninth level of the Houtian realm? The Yang energy contained in this elixir is really overbearing!"
Although his cultivation level has been broken through, the trauma of the internal shock still needs time to recover. After looking at the body of the golden crow demon, Xiao Nanfeng casually found some branches to cover it, and staggered towards a small area not far away.
lake.
Jumping into the lake, Xiao Nanfeng washed the dried blood on his body.
"Wow! Wow!~"
There were waves of crow demons roaring overhead. Xiao Nanfeng looked up and saw several crow demons flying past quickly. Perhaps because it was dark at the moment and most of his body was in the water, he was not noticed by the crow demons.
"Are they looking for the golden crow demon? It's not advisable to stay here for a long time." Xiao Nanfeng's face darkened.
"Grandpa, that man is so strange. He actually dares to go into the lake to take a bath. The lake is very cold in early spring. Isn't he afraid of freezing to death?" Suddenly a child's voice came.
Xiao Nanfeng turned around and looked, but there was an old man carrying a medicine basket, followed by a child of about ten years old.
"Don't blame me, young man. This grandson of mine speaks freely, no matter how big or small, I will apologize to you first." The old man immediately grabbed the child and said politely.
"Children's words are unbridled, I don't have to do this." Xiao Nanfeng climbed out of the water and climbed ashore while coughing.
The blood stains on his body have been washed away, but his clothes are still in tatters.
"Old man, what is this place?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.
"This is just an ordinary wild mountain with no name. At the foot of the mountain is our village. Young man, what are you doing here?" The old man showed a simple smile.
"I was chased by a wild beast. I accidentally fell and got lost. It's getting dark soon. Dad, can I stay in your village for one night? I can pay for it." Xiao Nanfeng asked.
"It's all about money. I'm a guest from afar, so why not stay at the old man's house." The old man warmly invited me.
"My surname is Wang, you can just call me Old Man Wang."
…
In less than an hour, a small village appeared in front of Xiao Nanfeng. Old Man Wang took him to the door of a house and saw an old woman walking out.
"Old man, why are you back? We have a distinguished guest at home." the old woman urged.
"Dignified guest?" Old Man Wang was slightly startled.
The old woman suddenly became cautious when she saw Xiao Nanfeng beside her, and then she whispered something into Old Man Wang's ear.
"What? He's here, hahaha, you must have a good drink tonight!" Old man Wang looked excited, and then looked at Xiao Nanfeng, "Oh! I almost forgot, there is another distinguished guest here. Little brother
, are you injured? I will take you to your room to rest first, and I will give you some medicinal wine and food later. You can rest at my house for one night, okay?"
"That's enough, thank you very much!" Xiao Nanfeng nodded.
Xiao Nanfeng was arranged to rest in a room, and Old Man Wang's grandson brought food, medicinal wine and clothes.
Xiao Nan did not rest, but sat cross-legged on the bed to consolidate his cultivation. In one night, Xiao Nanfeng had completely digested the inner elixir of the golden crow demon, and his internal wounds were completely healed, and his cultivation became more and more advanced.
In the early morning, Xiao Nanfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air and stood up slowly.
At this time, Old Man Wang's grandson suddenly ran over: "Sir, grandpa asked me to ask you to have breakfast."
"I won't have breakfast. This is my little thought. It's for your grandpa. I'm leaving too." Xiao Nanfeng took out a piece of gold and handed it to the child.
"Grandpa said you are not allowed to accept money from your husband." The boy immediately pushed Jin Zi away and refused, "Besides, if I take your money, I won't be able to hold my head high in front of my brothers in the future. I don't want to ruin my image."
"Hahaha, you still have an image? What kind of image?" Xiao Nanfeng suddenly found this kid interesting and joked.
"Of course it is the image of the future village chief. I will inherit my grandfather's mantle, and I will be the village chief of Dawangzhuang in the future!" the child said proudly.
"Dawangzhuang? What Dawangzhuang?" Xiao Nanfeng's smile froze and he immediately asked the child.
"This is Dawangzhuang!" the boy explained.
"Is this really called Dawangzhuang?"
The village that was invaded by the crow demon yesterday, the villager who was rescued mentioned Dawangzhuang and said that the Wushen Army who massacred their village was going to hunt down a man named Zheng Qian, and Zheng Qian went to Dawangzhuang to visit friends.
"Of course! It will be replaced if it's fake! Is there any problem?" the child asked in confusion.
The problem is huge.
Why did he appear here? Is it a coincidence? That golden crow demon took him to the vicinity of Dawangzhuang by coincidence? No, Xiao Nanfeng didn't believe in coincidences. Maybe it was coming to Dawangzhuang?
"Quickly, take me to see your grandpa, something may happen in Dawangzhuang." Xiao Nanfeng said hurriedly.
"Huh?" the child asked puzzledly.
At this moment, there was a rumble of horse hooves outside the window.
Xiao Nanfeng looked through the window and immediately saw fifty soldiers in black armor riding towards the entrance of the village.
"There are children in the village, so they can't run wildly." Several villagers at the entrance of the village were about to stop them.
The black-armored soldiers pulled out their long knives and slashed across them quickly. With a few squeaks, the heads of several villagers were instantly thrown out, blood splattered everywhere, and they died on the spot.
"Killed!"
"Ah~"
…
Screams rang out all over the village, and countless villagers ran out of their houses after hearing the news, only to see a group of black-armored soldiers slaughtering the villagers.
"Ah~"
The screaming continued, and within a short time, more than a dozen villagers had been killed by the black-armored soldiers, and the whole village fell into chaos.
"The Black God Army is doing its work, and anyone who dares to obstruct it will be killed without mercy!" a black-armored soldier yelled.
"Kill!" fifty soldiers roared in unison.
All the villagers looked frightened with the threat of the battlefield.
"Everyone, come out and stand in this square! Quick!" a soldier shouted.
Immediately, a group of soldiers blocked all the roads in the village. Fifty soldiers drew their swords and looked at the villagers fiercely. Anyone who dared to escape would be decapitated with a single blow.
Xiao Nanfeng hid the child under the bed and walked out before the black-armored soldiers broke in. Along with the frightened villagers, he was driven to the square at the entrance of the village.
The villagers were trembling with fear and did not dare to resist.
"Is this the Black God Army that massacred the previous village? Ten Xiantian realms and forty Houtian realm peaks?" Xiao Nanfeng stood in the crowd with a solemn look on his face, silently sizing up the group of people.
"Master, please don't kill me. I am the village chief. We at Dawangzhuang have always paid the poll tax on time and have never missed a single payment. Master, please don't kill me." Old Wang begged the leader of Heijia for mercy in horror.
.
The leader looked at Old Man Wang coldly: "Where is Zheng Qian?"
"Zheng Qian? I don't know what Zheng Qian is?" Old Man Wang shook his head in horror.
"I ask again, where is Zheng Qian? If you don't tell me, I will kill everyone here." The leader pointed his sword at the villagers.
"I, I don't know..." Old Man Wang lowered his head in fear.
"Don't know?" the leader said coldly, "In that case, you can go and die!"
"Don't kill us, spare our lives!" Many villagers were so frightened that they knelt down and cried on the ground.
However, the black-armored soldiers ignored the villagers' pleas for mercy and cut them off with their swords.
"Stop! I'm here!" A shout came from beside Old Man Wang's house.
However, the entrance to a cellar not far away was opened, and a middle-aged man in gray clothes came out.
The man's face was serious and upright, with a hint of exhaustion in his majesty.
"You, why did you come out? Alas!" Old Man Wang looked regretful.
"Old Wang, I came to visit you yesterday. I wanted to catch up with you, but I didn't want to drag you down. They are coming for me, and I can't hide from them." Zheng Qian said with a bitter smile.
"Alas!" Old Man Wang sighed.
"Master Zheng, you can make it easy for us to find him!" the leader of the black-armored men said coldly.
