Stars fall and locust trees grow

At this moment, Qi Luoxing was also fighting against the blood rune that entered his body.

He has fire spiritual roots and has the fire element in his bones.

Internal fire is yang, blood is yin. Yin and yang complement and counteract each other, and the cycle repeats.

You just need to mobilize the spiritual energy in your body and use the fire of your spiritual roots to bind the blood rune, then you can slowly burn the opponent.

It's all just a matter of resilience and time.

Although he was surrounded by spiritual energy, the fire of the spiritual roots roaming in his body still caused Qi Luoxing's body temperature to rise to an incredible level.

Beads of sweat the size of beans struggled to come out of the pores all over the body, but before they could drip, they were directly evaporated by the temperature of the skin itself.

One hour... Two hours...

Qi Luoxing's consciousness has been in a highly tense state.

The blood rune was like an evil poisonous snake, hanging over his head and glaring at him hungrily. As long as he dared to slack off in the slightest, it would show its sharp fangs and kill him directly.

Under the burning of the spiritual root fire, the blood rune was finally worn away bit by bit, and finally turned into a drop of essence as big as a grain of rice, which directly penetrated into Qi Luoxing's bones.

"Crumble..."

A strange, hair-raising sound suddenly emanated from his body.

Qi Luoxing could clearly feel an indescribable pain, as if his whole body was pierced by countless thin nails, suddenly sweeping from the inside out, covering the whole body.

At this moment, every bone in his body was undergoing strange changes.

Suddenly, sharp bone spurs began to grow wildly from the original bones.

They popped up like bamboo shoots after a rain, vying to break through Qi Luoxing's skin, gradually emerging, and then growing into one dense forest of human bones after another.

The scarlet blood flowed in streams from the wounds, soaking the whole body in an instant.

"what!!!"

He groaned in pain, but the bone spurs all over his body prevented him from finding a position that could relieve the pain. In the end, he could only lie flat on the ground, wailing uncontrollably.

It wasn't just Qi Luoxing. Ever since the training began, painful roars could be heard from time to time in the training rooms on the lowest level of the training hall.

The unique smell of blood enveloped the entire training hall like a fog, so pungent that it was nauseating.

I don’t know how long it had passed, but the bone spurs outside Qi Luoxing’s body suddenly stopped growing and then slowly shrank into his body.

By the time everything was over, the lights in the training hall had already been turned on.

The cold sweat on his body mixed with the blood, and even his skin gradually lost its temperature. Drops of dark red blood were silently sliding down the edge of the black sect uniform onto the ground.

After Qi Luoxing recovered a little, he finally opened his eyes with difficulty. The first thing he looked at was Li Chi beside him.

The young man was lying on his side on the ground in a curled-up position, his pair of gray-white pupils staring motionlessly ahead, and no one knew what he was looking at.

Qi Luoxing suddenly felt his mind go blank, and even the voice coming out of his throat was hoarse.

"……cousin?!"

He endured the pain all over his body and crawled towards Li Chi step by step, gently placing his fingers under the other's nose.

There was no temperature, no breathing, and even the face was abnormally pale.

He was a little at a loss, so he gently placed his trembling hands on Li Chi's face.

"cousin?!"

His voice was trembling uncontrollably, just like the hand he stretched out, and at the same time it was almost inaudible, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Suddenly, a few drops of blood dripped from his sleeves onto Li Chi's face, and then slid down, leaving a few glaring blood marks on the pale face of the man who died with his eyes open.

Seeing this, Qi Luoxing immediately rolled up his sleeves and wiped off the bloodstains with his fingers, whispering in a self-deceiving tone: "Cousin?! Are you tired?!"

"It's because we practiced for too long today that you feel tired, right?!"

He grabbed Li Chi's fist and gently placed it on his left cheek, saying in an unusually gentle voice, "If you are tired, take a nap. Ah Xing will never disturb you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him closed his eyes instantly, as if he agreed with what he said.

"cousin!!!"

Qi Luoxing's usually fearless heart suddenly collapsed, replaced by endless, almost suffocating despair and confusion.

At this moment, he once again lost his closest relative, the only closest relative he had in this world.

There was a sudden, lingering, sharp buzzing sound in my head.

He had completely lost the ability to think, and could only rely on his body's instinct to endure the severe pain and sit up, and then transfer all the remaining spiritual energy in his body into Li Chi's body.

The other person's body, which had been stiff for a long time, relaxed instantly, and his fingers slowly stretched out.

But he still wasn't breathing.

"what!!!"

Qi Luoxing hugged Li Chi into his arms, his face became painful and ferocious, but his voice revealed extreme humility and pleading.

"Please! Cousin! Don't abandon me..."

At this moment, two purple figures suddenly appeared in front of Qi Luoxing.

He raised his head and saw it was the leader of Juyun Sect, Li Shi, and elder Li Shang.

Li Shi was already used to such scenes. He only glanced at Li Chi in Qi Luoxing's arms, and then said indifferently: "These side disciples are really useless trash. They can't even pass the first test."

He turned to Li Shang and said, "Just throw his body to the back mountain later!"

"Throw it... to the back mountain?!" Upon hearing this, Qi Luoxing's lifeless eyes suddenly became cold, and his pair of dark brown pupils instantly turned into a strange blood red. In this dark place where even the lights could not fully illuminate it, he looked as hideous as a demon crawling out of hell.

He spoke slowly and slowly, "What do you mean by throwing my cousin to the back hills?!"

"Um......?!"

Li Shi seemed not to see the hatred in his eyes, but bent down and looked closely at his eyes. "Those are blood pupils?!"

He immediately showed a very satisfied expression and laughed, "I can't believe that after more than a hundred years, we have finally found someone who has the same aptitude for practicing the Yin-Yang Wheel as our ancestor."

"As a high-level sect, we have been silent for too long."

Li Shang nodded in agreement and said, "The Sect Master is right. As long as we train him, we will not only be able to retain our status as a high-level sect for a long time, but we may even be able to move up to a higher level."

"In that case..." Li Shi said to Qi Luoxing: "Then you can deal with this body as you wish!"

"But don't play any tricks. You know, in the inner courtyard, nothing can escape our eyes."

After he finished speaking, he instructed Li Shang, “From now on, his nourishing spirit pills should be replaced with specially made ones.”

By the time Qi Luoxing and his group finished their training and returned to the dormitory, it was almost 3 p.m.

He carefully placed Li Chi on the couch, then brought a basin of hot water, carefully wiped off the remaining blood and dust on his body, and changed him into clean clothes.

Although the sky gets dark early in winter.

But Qi Luoxing did not light the candle.

After he quickly tidied himself up, he went straight back to the couch and lay down next to Li Chi, without even taking the nourishing spirit pills that had been distributed today.

"Cousin! Are you asleep?! Ah Xing is in so much pain today..."

He buried his head in Li Chi's arms and said in a low voice, "They said they would throw you to the back mountain... I won't let them do that..."

"Father, mother, uncle and aunt are all gone. You are the only relative Xing has in this world."

"No one can take you away from me."

"Not even if it's a corpse."
