C17 Fatal crisis

Deep in the Redstone Mountains, in the stony ground that was surrounded by dense forest, a small stream quietly flowed past.

Xuan Chen's face turned pale white, he planted his sword on the ground and knelt down on one knee. His breath was scattered, and drops of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, dyeing the stone on the ground red.

Not far in front of him was a corpse lying on its back. It was dressed in blue and its chest was dyed red by a large amount of blood. In its right hand, it was tightly holding onto a geese feather knife.

With Xuan Chen at the center, the rocks within twenty to thirty meters of ground around him shattered into pieces, becoming a complete mess.

Xuan Chen slowly stood up and looked at the corpse. Recalling the battle from before, his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

Xuan Chen originally thought that after entering the Redstone Mountains, he would be far ahead of the other party. However, he didn't expect that he would be ambushed and killed by the Huang Family here this morning.

Not only was the Huang Family youth's cultivation profound, he was also at the level of Peak of the third level of the Qi Jing realm. Furthermore, he had also trained his sword skills to the consummate level of mastery level, and when he used it, it was like a surging river, forcing him to barely resist it.

Even the first and second move of the improved Spring Rain Sword Skill was easily broken by the opponent, and in the end, Xuan Chen used the improved 'Chunlei's disease' with all his might, and managed to kill the opponent in one move.

And the price was that there was a wound about four inches long on the left side of his ribs.

Xuan Chen lowered his head to look at the wound, took out the Golden Sore Medicine from his bosom and applied it, then tied it with a cloth strip. Fortunately, he managed to avoid it in time. As a result, although the wound was long, it was not heavy. It was only a superficial wound.

After rummaging through the corpses, Xuan Chen found thirty taels of silver, two bottles of Low Grade Qi Meridian Pill, and a manual called the Long River Saber Technique.

Looking at the blade manual, then looking at the corpse, Xuan Chen's eyes flashed. He muttered to himself: "The blade manual is the foundation of a family, normally, no one would bring it with them, in case anything happens to reveal the clan's martial skills. Yet, this young man is actually carrying around with him, along with two bottles of Low Grade Qi Meridian Pill. It seems like this young man has quite a high position in the Huang Family. "

Thinking about the other party's bearing and fighting strength, Xuan Chen was sure that this person should be a direct descendant of the Huang Family.

He picked up the geese feather knife, it was a low rank great blade, but it could not be taken away, because the blade had the Huang Family's mark on it.

Xuan Chen thought for a while, then used the fish scale sword s to dig a hole in the ground, buried the corpse along with the geese feather knife, then covered it with dirt and rocks.

He was naturally doing all these to cover up the scene, hoping that the Huang Family would discover it later. Otherwise, if the Huang Family went crazy and chased after him, it would be difficult for him to escape.

After doing all this, Xuan Chen looked up at the sky, identified the direction based on the location of the two suns, and then quickly left.

...

One day later, in the forest outside of stony ground, a sturdy middle-aged man was running quickly. His ears twitched, and he suddenly heard a faint wuwu sound from his left side.

Very quickly, his vision cleared up and he leaped into the stony ground. In front of him, he saw a black-armored Corrupt Beast biting into the leg of the corpse, and the upper half of the corpse was still buried underground.

The burly man had seen this scene who knows how many times. The corpses of those who died in the forest could not escape being reduced to the blood of wild beasts.

However, his eyes were wide open in anger, because he saw the geese feather knife beside the corpse. The shape of the handle of the sword was unique to the Huang Family.

"Evil creature." The burly man shouted in anger and strode forward, sending the black armored carrion flying with a kick. The black armored carrion let out a blood-curdling screech as it fell into the stream.

He quickly turned the stone and dirt over the corpse. When he saw the corpse's face, his pupils suddenly shrank as he shouted in grief, "Third Young Master."

He half knelt on the ground, clenching his right fist and supporting himself on the ground. He could not feel anything even if he inserted his fingernail into his palm. A drop of blood slipped out from between his fingers and dyed the ground red.

"No matter who you are, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I, Huang Yangqiu, will still kill you."

Huang Yangqiu said as he gnashed his teeth, a deep look of hatred shooting out from his eyes. He was extremely close to the Third Young Master, and because he was childless, he had always regarded him as a son.

He stood up, all the True Qi in his body surged, with a wave of his right hand, the geese feather knife's blade Qi shot out more than three inches, with a loud rumble, it struck the ground, causing a blade scar that was half a zhang long and one chi deep.

This was an expert from the Fourth level of the Qi Jing realm.

After Huang Yangqiu vented his anger, he dug a new deep hole and buried the Third Young Master's body inside. But when he moved the corpse, a white jade cicada the size of a thumb fell out of his sleeve.

"This is the Soul Chasing Jade Cicada."

Huang Yangqiu recognized the Soul Chasing Jade Cicada with a single glance. This was especially used to track a person for a thousand miles, and as long as the person's body was tainted with a trace of the Soul Chasing Incense, the distance would not exceed five hundred kilometers.

Buzz.

The Soul Chasing Jade Cicada let out a slight cry, and seemed to be slightly dispirited, but it quickly flew back, and just as it was about to fly away, Huang Yangqiu quickly went forward and grabbed the Soul Chasing Jade Cicada.

"It seems like before Third Young Master died, he left a Soul Chasing Incense on his opponent."

Huang Yangqiu buried the Third Young Master's body again. After he made sure that the Black Armored Eating Beast wouldn't dig out the Third Young Master's body again, he let go of the Soul Chasing Jade Cicada.

Swoosh.

The Soul Chasing Jade Cicada quickly flew away, and Huang Yangqiu quickly chased after it.

...

Because he was injured, Xuan Chen's speed was not fast. It wasn't until a day later that his wounds began to scar and his speed increased once again.

Along the way, Xuan Chen was trying out a new movement technique, traversing mountains and ridges. After two days of time, they finally passed through the Redstone Mountains and arrived at the outskirts of the Profound Origin Mountain.

The Profound Origin Mountain was even larger than the Redstone Mountains, so it was natural that they were more dangerous. Who knows just how many high leveled beasts were hidden in the depths of the Profound Origin Mountain.

However, Xuan Chen did not need to go in deeper, he only needed to go from the outside to the south, even if he met ferocious beasts, his level would not be high.

He had seen the map of the Profound Origin Island before he entered the Redstone Mountains. After entering the Profound Origin Mountain, he could head southwest to exit the Profound Origin Mountain to reach the Black Mountain City.

Half a day later, Xuan Chen walked out of a lush forest. At first, he wanted to avoid it, but he was also a little curious. In the end, after thinking for a bit, he decided to take a look.

Xuan Chen carefully snuck up and hid behind a small mound. He saw five robust men attacking two girls together.

Xuan Chen watched calmly, not in a hurry to save them. He had to first ascertain the strength of the five strong men, and plan whether or not he would be in danger if he were to save them. If there was, then sorry, he could only retreat secretly.

Judging from their attire, the two girls that were attacked should be master and servant, the young miss was about 15 or 16 years old, wearing a yellow silk dress, her cultivation was not weak, her sword qi was 1 inch stronger, she was a 3rd level Qi Jing realm warrior.

As for the maidservants, they were dressed in green. They were about the same age as the young miss, but their cultivations were much weaker, at the second level of the Qi Jing realm.

As for the five burly men, the strongest one was at the 3rd level of the Qi Jing realm, his blade aura was much longer than the young miss's, the other four were all at the Second level of the Qi Jing and Mai, each of them was ruthless and ruthless.

Facing the siege of five strong men, the master and the servant could only barely hold on. And this was with the five strong men planning to capture two alive, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.

Although he had already observed the situation clearly and the five strong men were unable to pose a threat to him, Xuan Chen still did not plan to rush forward to save them. He had to grasp a step when saving others, only when the two of them were in a life and death situation, when he was in despair, when he saved them, would the master and the servant be the most grateful to him.

Of course, he was not plotting anything, but since he had already done so, he naturally had to maximize the benefits. Looking at the master and servant's gorgeous clothing, their origins were probably not small, and they had a good relationship.
