Junior Disciple C
Chapter 47
"Wow, it's Yuanling Grass!" Fang Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the clump of weed grass with light brown roots on the side of the road, and he ran over immediately, then squatted down, and used the iron sword he carried to dig the grass.
Yuanling grass is not a rare medicinal herb, but because it is extremely suitable as an alchemy material for neutralizing medicinal properties, it has a considerable demand in the market.
But it is only the lowest-level alchemy material, and the price is about one spirit stone per plant.
Compared with the spiritual plants in the secret realm of the floating island, which can be called the real treasures of heaven, material and earth, which cost tens of millions of spiritual stones, one piece of spiritual stone and one plant of Yuanling grass can't be sold at all, and no one is rushing to dig Yuanling grass. here.
Moreover, the digging of Yuanling grass is very troublesome, and the roots must not be damaged. Otherwise, if a little root is broken and the spiritual power leaks out, Yuanling grass will become an ordinary grass, worthless.
Therefore, you must be careful and careful when digging Yuanling grass. This is destined not to be a short-term task. The time you stay in the secret place of the floating island is limited. Instead of wasting time digging this worthless herb, it is better to find it. Other more expensive spiritual plants.
This is what most people think, they see Yuan Lingcao as if they didn't see it, and walk straight past.
But Fang Yang had a lot of fun digging. He had never seen any truly valuable medicinal herbs. For him, a piece of spirit stone and a plant of Yuanling grass were already rare materials that could be sold for money.
As a poor boy from the countryside, he is also not rich.His parents and relatives are all native peasants, and they can't read a few big characters, and they don't have gold or silver. Naturally, it is impossible to provide him with some spiritual stones that can be traded in the cultivation world.
All his savings came from the monthly subsidy of spirit stones given out by the sect. After a year, he had saved more than 100 spirit stones.
And there are about dozens of Yuanling grass here, as long as this clump of Yuanling grass is dug up, it is equivalent to getting dozens of spirit stones.
This is his income for most of the year!
Fang Yang, who had never seen the world before, was fascinated by dozens of spirit stones, digging with concentration and meticulousness.
Finally, after a long time, he dug up the clump of primordial spirit grass without leaving any.
Half of the time to enter the secret realm of the floating island has passed. During this half day, the other monks were either on the way to find the treasures, or they had already found the treasures, and they were chatting with the monks who discovered the treasures at the same time. There was a big fight, while Fang Yang was quietly digging grass.
And it is the least valuable spirit grass among all spirit plants.
Of course, Fang Yang didn't think so. He thought it would be a great harvest to bring back dozens of primordial spirit grass this trip.He tidied up these primordial spirit grasses and carefully put them into the storage bag.
Naturally, the storage bag that every member of the sect holds is not high-quality goods, and its internal space is too small to fit a normal-sized iron sword. Fang Yang put a set of clothes and some wound medicines in it, plus The large clump of primordial spirit grass that had just been dug had already bulged out of the storage bag.
Fang Yang patted his storage bag, which was almost full, and continued to move forward contentedly.
Since entering the secret realm of the floating island, he has not met anyone, let alone his only two acquaintances, Senior Brother Waste Chai and Brother Hao.
It is said that there are many dangers in the secret realm of the floating island, but Fang Yang has not even seen a monster so far.
Because of this, he also didn't see any real valuable spiritual plants.The treasures of heaven, material and earth are not only fought by humans, but also by monsters.
The monsters have always been sensitive, and they have lived here for a long time, knowing every corner of the secret place of the floating island like the back of their hands.Almost every place where natural treasures grow will be guarded by a monster, and when the spiritual plant really grows, it will swallow it in one gulp to improve its cultivation.
And those other monsters or humans attracted by Lingzhi are the prey of the monsters guarding here.
Of course, in the end who is the prey must be divided by strength.
The law of the jungle is the only law in the secret realm of the floating island.
"I don't know what Brother Waste Chai and Brother Hao are doing..." Fang Yang muttered a little lonely while walking.
Fortunately, he had such great expectations before he came, but he came in for a long time. There was no exciting plot like fighting fierce monsters and finding spirit treasures in various dangerous caves like in the script.
If he didn't have it, he didn't have it. At any rate, he harvested a bagful of Yuanling grass, which was considered a hundred yuan household.
It's just unavoidably a little boring, after all, it's too quiet here.
"Sigh, what Senior Brother Waste Chai said is correct, as expected, the storybook is full of lies." Fang Yang picked up a grass from the side of the road and sighed with it in his mouth.
After sighing, he felt that what he said was a bit wrong, and it wasn't completely deceiving. Didn't he just pick up a piece of bamboo that could talk to him?
Although it is not exactly the same as the one in the storybook, the protagonist in the storybook is a jade pendant made of mutton fat jade, which is a piece of bamboo that looks exactly like the bamboo grown by the sect.
In the jade pendant of the protagonist of the story, there is a kind and kind grandfather Songbao who provides countless exercise secrets for free. In the bamboo piece of his own is a somewhat stern elder brother, who has never seen a single exercise or cheat.
In such a comparison, this big brother living in bamboo slices is really a bit shabby.
In fact, Fang Yang didn't ask for any secrets of martial arts. It's good to have them, but he should have no one. He was already very happy that the mysterious big brother could teach him how to use swordsmanship.
only...
"Are you there?" Fang Yang took out the lanyard that he hung around his neck and hid it in his collar. The bamboo piece was at the bottom of the lanyard. He tried to talk to the mysterious big brother with his spiritual sense.
He waited quietly for a moment, but there was no response as expected.
"Sigh." Fang Yang sighed, if only the big brother who lived in the bamboo slice could be like the old grandfather who lived in the jade pendant, just like the old man who lived in the jade pendant, just like the old man who lived in the jade pendant, he would come and talk with him.
He has tried many times, but his words always sink into the sea, unable to turn over a little bit of waves.
I don't know if this big brother doesn't want to talk to him, or is he sleeping?He likes to sleep so much, why is he like his good-for-nothing senior brother.
Fang Yang was thinking wildly while walking, in this vast jungle, he walked for a long time without seeing anyone, and there were still tall trees in front of him, so he could only pass the time by thinking wildly.
In addition to the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind, and the singing of birds singing in the dense tree canopy, there are no other sounds.
"Susu."
Fang Yang's forward steps suddenly stopped, and the grass in his mouth fell to the ground at the same time.
He looked vigilantly at the one-meter-high shrubs not far in front of him. The "rusting" sound just now was made by the shrubs trembling.
There was no wind at this time, and it was absolutely impossible for the bushes to shake for no reason.
Probably something is hiding behind the bushes.
Thinking of this, Fang Yang paused for a moment, deliberately pretended not to notice, and continued walking forward.
But his hand that was casually holding the hilt of the sword was already clenched, and his sloppy steps became cautious.
After that short "rustling" sound, the bushes returned to their original state, without any abnormal movement or noise.
But Fang Yang knew that it was definitely not his illusion, and as his distance approached, he also vaguely heard some deliberately suppressed, but still heavy breathing.
What the hell is behind this bush?monster?
Most likely it was a monster.Fang Yang thought, although he tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, the rolling up and down of his Adam's apple still revealed his inner tension.
finally come!Those dangerous and exciting adventures in the storybook!
While Fang Yang was nervous, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Young people have an adventurous nature in their bones, so when he noticed the change, he didn't choose to leave, but walked forward instead.
He walked to a distance of three meters from the bush. Instead of walking directly towards the bush, he deliberately turned in a different direction, pretending to make a turn.
Then, when the thing behind the bushes thought he hadn't found him and was about to leave, Fang Yang turned around suddenly, and stabbed out the iron sword he had been holding in his hand at the same time.
I wanted to catch the opponent by surprise, but the opponent reacted equally quickly. When Fang Yang turned around suddenly, the thing behind the bushes also counterattacked.
With a sound of "Zheng", the swords collided.
It's not a monster?Fang Yang thought in surprise when he felt the metal impact along the blade.
He saw the gleaming blade of the iron sword that collided with his iron sword. In addition to the unique cold light of metal, there was also the aura of spiritual power flowing on the blade.
Fang Yang's eyes followed the sword body, and he saw the hilt engraved with complicated patterns. In the middle of the pattern was inlaid a spirit stone containing powerful spiritual power. Patterned iron swords are incomparable, and the opponent's hand is probably an expensive spiritual sword.
Finally, Fang Yang saw the thin and slender hand holding the hilt of the sword, a little smaller than an adult man, the boy's hand, and the owner of these hands.
"Cao Zirui!" Fang Yang called out the other person's name in surprise, unexpectedly, the first person he met in the secret realm of the floating island turned out to be Cao Zirui, a direct disciple of the sect leader whom he never had the chance to get close to.
After yelling, he found that the swords of the two were still touching each other, and their respective strengths did not slacken. Realizing that he had almost accidentally injured the same door, Fang Yang quickly took the initiative to withdraw the sword, and he apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know what it is... ...."
Before he could say the last word "you", he was forced to stop by the sword's edge reaching his throat.
Fang Yang took the sword away, but Cao Zirui did not.At the same time as Fang Yang retracted his sword, his sword edge stabbed forward, barely stopping an inch in front of Fang Yang's Adam's apple.
Holding the sword in his right hand, he looked coldly at Fang Yang, who looked harmless.
Fang Yang was stunned for a while by this unexpected development. When we met in the same family, shouldn't it be a friendly greeting and chatter?
What is Cao Zirui doing with the sword against himself?Fang Yang suddenly realized after a short period of doubt, he knew Cao Zirui, but Cao Zirui didn't know him!
So it is!Cao Zirui didn't dare to relax his guard because he was just a stranger who had never met him before and attacked him suddenly.
Fang Yang thought he had figured out the key, and raised his hands to pull the Lingxiao Sword Sect logo embroidered with a small sword pattern on his Taoist robe, telling Cao Zirui that he was his fellow sect.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, Cao Zirui's sword edge moved forward an inch, and Fang Yang leaned back quickly, so as not to let the sword edge that looked like iron cut like mud scratch the skin in front of his throat.
He didn't dare to move anymore, and only explained verbally: "My name is Fang Yang, and I am a junior disciple of the outer sect. I joined the Lingxiao Sword Sect in the same group as you last year. We are from the same sect."
Unable to pull, Fang Yang changed his mind. He blinked his eyelids with difficulty, and motioned Cao Zirui to look at the school pattern on his chest.
It's a pity that the sword's edge was in front of his throat, and he couldn't even lower his head, so it was a very difficult movement to use his eyes to signal Cao Zirui to look at his chest.Fang Yang obviously doesn't have much talent in this area, he looks like his eyelids are cramping when he does this action, it's funny and funny.
Cao Zirui's gaze was still cold, he was not amused by Fang Yang's funny expression, and his gaze did not move down, because he didn't need to look.
As early as when he was hiding behind the bushes, he found out that this person was his fellow disciple, but he still didn't relax his guard one bit.
Seeing that Cao Zirui was unmoved, Fang Yang finally realized what was wrong.
Cao Zirui's reaction was very strange. It stands to reason that he called out the opponent's name first, and then took the initiative to withdraw the sword. No matter how you say it, he showed that he was not hostile and probably knew the opponent.
Even if Cao Zirui didn't know his fellow sect, or didn't believe his fellow sect identity, at least he shouldn't raise his sword at each other like this, but ask himself a few words to verify his identity, right?
But Cao Zirui had no such intentions, his eyes were tightly locked on Fang Yang, and there was only cold guard in his eyes.Fang Yang had no doubt that Cao Zirui would stab him through his throat whenever he made any move that might attack him.
But before that, he didn't really want to kill Fang Yang, he was just on guard, and all his abnormal and overly sensitive offensive actions were just because he was afraid that Fang Yang would hurt himself.
Fear?Fang Yang was taken aback for a moment, he was sure that in Cao Zirui's cold eyes, he saw a trace of fear that was hidden but still leaked a little.
Cao Zirui is in the foundation building stage, and he has crushed the same foundation building fellows of the whole sect. With his strength, why should he be afraid of Fang Yang, who has fallen to the third level of Qi refining?
And they are the same door, aren't they?How can the same door hurt each other?
No, not right.Fang Yang suddenly realized that perhaps Cao Zirui had already discovered that he was his fellow disciple, but he still held his sword.
During the stalemate, a bead of sweat slipped from the corner of Cao Zirui's forehead. Fang Yang's eyes followed the bead of sweat on Cao Zirui's face. The sweat flowed down his lips. He noticed that Cao Zirui's tightly pursed lips were pale and bloodless. lips.
Beads of sweat fell from his cheeks and dripped onto the collar on his chest. Fang Yang noticed the strange dark black Taoist robe on his left shoulder again. There was a dark red color in the black.
The tip of Fang Yang's nose twitched slightly, belatedly smelling the pungent smell of blood in the air.
Reminiscent of the heavy, unmistakable breathing he heard as he approached the bushes, it's not hard to guess...
"Are you injured?!" Fang Yang's eyes widened slightly, looking at Cao Zirui who was in pain and sweating continuously in surprise.
The climate in the Floating Island Secret Realm is different from the outside world. Although the sun is shining, it is not hot. The sweat on Cao Zirui's forehead is obviously the cold sweat from the pain.
Even though he didn't know what Cao Zirui had experienced in the past half day, and what caused him to become a warlord, even his fellow disciples refused to believe it, even though the blood on his left shoulder was still expanding, he still refused to put down his sword to stop the bleeding for himself .
Cao Zirui didn't answer, Fang Yang found out about his injury, his eyes turned a little colder, because it meant greater danger to him.
The weaker he is, the more likely the opponent will attack him.
Fang Yang didn't know what Cao Zirui was thinking, so he subconsciously went to take out the storage bag on his waist. His action stimulated Cao Zirui, and Jianfeng immediately moved forward another inch.
Fang Yang quickly took a step back, and at the same time quickly explained: "I have no malicious intentions! I have wound medicine for trauma in my storage bag, which can help you stop the bleeding!"
After Cao Zirui listened, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't continue to attack after all.
But he didn't believe Fang Yang's words either, he just continued to hold his sword and signaled Fang Yang not to move.He didn't dare to bet that what Fang Yang took out from the storage bag was the healing medicine or the magic weapon to kill him.
Fang Yang had no choice but to stand where he was, watching Cao Zirui's face getting paler and paler. Although Cao Zirui didn't show him any good face, Fang Yang couldn't help but worry about his injury.
After all, they belonged to the same family, and Cao Zirui had a different meaning to Fang Yang... He was Fang Yang's goal, someone Fang Yang wanted to surpass.
Fang Yang hopes to defeat the opponent with his own strength. He pays attention to this opponent and envies this opponent. At the same time, he hopes that Cao Zirui will be safe and sound more than anyone else in this world, so that he can challenge him after he has achieved his cultivation.
But Cao Zirui was just like a stubborn stone, stubbornly holding his sword, completely ignoring his bleeding wound, as if he would just confuse Fang Yang until he bleeds to death.
When Fang Yang was anxious, a familiar male voice suddenly came from his ear.
It's that nice big brother's voice!
Fang Yang didn't have time to be happy, because the man's tone was hurried and anxious, he shouted in Fang Yang's sea of knowledge: "Run!"
run?Why do you want to run when you are so good?
Fang Yang was confused by these two words, and did not follow suit.
At the same time, there was a "ding bell", a crisp bell ringing.
Fang Yang followed the sound and saw that it was the bell tied around Cao Zirui's waist that was ringing. When he fought Cao Zirui just now, the bell didn't make a sound even with such a large range of movements.
But now, Cao Zirui was standing there perfectly, when it suddenly rang without wind.
Fang Yang didn't understand what the ringtone meant, but Cao Zirui's face suddenly changed, and his already pale face became even paler.
He suddenly withdrew his sword, left Fang Yang alone, and ran forward with heavy steps.
Fang Yang looked inexplicably at Cao Zirui's back running hard, but because of his injury, he couldn't run much faster than he walked. What's going on?
Soon, he understood.
Because a trace of heat suddenly came from behind him, the temperature soared, and within a short period of time, this little heat turned into a scorching heat wave.
There is a stream of fire galloping from afar, it is an arrow full of flames.
Golden arrow tip, red flame.
The golden arrow flew extremely fast, so fast that when it passed by in place, the remaining waves of flames were still burning in the air.
It walked all the way, and there was a flame tail several meters long in the air.
And this deadly arrow with a high-temperature flame that destroyed everything shot straight towards Fang Yang's position.
In Fang Yang's dilated pupils was the golden and red intertwined flames, and the man yelled again in his ears: "Get down!"
Finally figured out why the mysterious big brother wanted to run fast by himself just now, it was too late to run now, maybe he could escape by lying down.
Fang Yang subconsciously wanted to do so, but he saw Cao Zirui staggering a few meters ahead.
He looked back at the golden arrow that was getting closer, and estimated the trajectory of the flight. He suddenly realized that the target of the arrow was not himself, but Cao Zirui.
It's okay to lie down by yourself, but Cao Zirui...
Fang Yang struggled a little in his heart, he didn't struggle for too long, time did not allow him to hesitate, he suddenly gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and then rushed forward recklessly.
His pounce was very accurate, and he directly threw Cao Zirui, who was walking with his hands on his shoulders, onto the ground in a five-body throwing posture.
Cao Zirui struggled subconsciously twice, but Fang Yang pressed his shoulders hard, and he would not let go no matter what, letting Cao Zirui stick to the ground with him.
Less than a second after the two of them lay down on the ground, deadly flames passed less than half a meter above their heads, and then with a "bang", golden arrows pierced the ground in front of the two of them.
The ground with a diameter of three meters around the arrow began to collapse and sink, and moire-like cracks spread across the ground, barely stopping in front of the two of them.
The cracked rocks splashed all around, Fang Yang lay on Cao Zirui's body, and used his equally thin young body to help Cao Zirui block the rocks hitting the two of them.
The small stone was okay, and it could be tolerated, but it happened that a fist-sized stone hit Fang Yang's hand holding Cao Zirui, Fang Yang groaned in pain, but he still didn't let go.
Cao Zirui was firmly pressed on the ground by Fang Yang. He only struggled a few times at first, but as the scorching heat wave flew over him, he could feel it even though he didn't touch it. He also realized that Fang Yang What is the reason for rushing towards yourself, and immediately stopped moving.
He buried his face on the ground, and couldn't see the expression of Fang Yang who was pressing on him, but he heard the muffled humming in his ears.
Cao Zirui's mood suddenly became a little complicated. If Fang Yang hadn't jumped at him suddenly, he would have been crushed to pieces along with those cracked stones.
They were clearly strangers, and he drew his sword to face each other many times. At such a moment, Fang Yang still chose to protect himself.
He was already very disappointed in the so-called mutual help and mutual help friendship between his classmates, but when he was disheartened, he met such a kind-hearted fellow who was so stupid.
He believed in people who shouldn't be trusted, but when he met someone who should be trusted, he was full of guards and dared not entrust his trust.
Thinking of this, Cao Zirui couldn't help pursing his pale lips, and clenched his five fingers lying on the ground slightly.
The smoke and dust raised by the golden arrow hitting the ground slowly dissipated. Fang Yang raised his head carefully and looked around. It seemed that there was no danger, so he stood up while shaking his head.
He shook off the dust and gravel from his hair and clothes, stretched out his hand to Cao Zirui who was lying on the ground, and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
Cao Zirui looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, but didn't reach out to hold it for a while, but just looked at Fang Yang fixedly.
Fang Yang looked a little embarrassed. He thought that Cao Zirui's character was notoriously unapproachable, and he probably didn't want to reach out to pull him, so he shrank back in embarrassment.
However, just as he shrank by half, Cao Zirui grabbed his hand quickly, stood up with Fang Yang's strength, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay."
Although there were only two words, Fang Yang was still indescribably surprised and happy that Cao Zirui finally talked to him!
This super powerful fellow disciple who has always been a loner and never even met them, the junior disciples, talked to him!
Fang Yang couldn't help showing a smirk, Cao Zirui was his goal, and at the same time, his idol, both of the same age, Cao Zirui had already stood at a height that others could hardly match.
Of course, Fang Yang has more than one goal, his ultimate goal is to defeat Ying Long, who is known as the god of war in the heavens, but this is too far away after all, Cao Zirui is still closer.
After laughing, he remembered and asked Cao Zirui, "What's going on? How did you get hurt?"
He was full of doubts. It stands to reason that Cao Zirui's strength should be difficult to meet in the foundation establishment period, and the highest cultivation level in the secret territory of the floating island is the foundation establishment stage.Who has the ability to make Cao Zirui so embarrassed?
And... Fang Yang glanced at the golden arrow with half of its body inserted into the ground. What is the origin of this golden arrow?The sense of deterrence from that arrow just now far exceeds all Fang Yang's cognition so far.
He has more or less watched the contests in the foundation building stage, and has never eaten pork or seen pigs running. The power of this golden arrow is definitely higher than that of golden elixir.
"Yes..." General Cao Zirui said one word, and something happened suddenly.
"Be careful!" Fang Yang's gaze was on the golden arrow, so he noticed the movement of the golden arrow at the first time.
The half of the golden arrow inserted into the ground trembled slightly, and the hard soil around it cracked as the arrow trembled, and the golden arrow was about to break out of the ground.
Fang Yang immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Zirui back a few steps. Almost as soon as they retreated, the golden arrow flew up from the soil at the same time.
It's just that this time the arrow body didn't burn with flames, and it didn't shoot at Cao Zirui again, but the arrow turned around and flew in the opposite direction.
It didn't fly for too long, but after flying a distance of about ten meters, the arrow body stopped.
The man who didn't know when came over held the arrow body hanging in mid-air, his eyes wandered back and forth between Cao Zirui and Fang Yang.
When Cao Zirui saw the man's face clearly, his expression immediately became cold, with the anger of being deceived under the coldness.
Fang Yang, who stood in front of him, also frowned. He also knew this man, who was wearing the same style of Taoist robes as himself and Cao Zirui, with a familiar mocking expression on his face.
"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I can still encounter such a good thing as killing two birds with one stone, hahaha, or say that good things come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. It's just that this good thing is mine..." Lu Chengye pointed at the two with the tip of the arrow with a smile. Man: "The disaster is yours."
Cao Zirui gritted his teeth when he heard that.Not long after he entered the secret realm of the floating island, he ran into this fellow by accident, he just took it as a coincidence, and Lu Chengye tried his best to flatter him, saying that he was humble, so he begged Cao Zirui to take care of him.
The left and right are also from the same family, thinking of the master's entrustment before leaving, they should take care of them, and it is also fate to meet in such a big secret place, so Cao Zirui agreed.
He walked with Lu Chengye, and along the way, Lu Chengye was busy, asking him if he was hungry, and if he was thirsty, Cao Zirui couldn't resist his enthusiasm.
He refused at first, but he couldn't stand Lu Chengye's softness, so in order to make the other party quiet, he took the water bag from Lu Chengye and took a sip. He didn't know what kind of water it was. Lu Chengye said it was a flower bubble scented tea, cool and relieve heat.
They didn't feel the coolness and fire, but not long after drinking the scented tea, the two encountered a monster in the foundation period.
Cao Zirui didn't panic, he was very confident in his own strength, he could handle it alone.Therefore, he motioned to Lu Chengye to wait aside, and he took care of the monster himself.
Lu Chengye thanked him again and again, and flattered Cao Zirui so much that he couldn't help but retreat to the side to watch the battle quietly.
When Cao Zirui was fighting fiercely with the monsters, he suddenly noticed that his dantian was losing a lot of spiritual power. He was still in a state of shock, not knowing what was going on.
He was also forced by the monster beast in front of him, so he had to concentrate on fighting, but he didn't want to, when he was about to kill the monster beast with all his strength, a deadly crimson stream of fire struck behind him.
This was something he had never been prepared for. He never expected that this fellow disciple who had been chasing and flattering him all the way would suddenly try to kill him.
And there is no room for it, a one-hit lore.
At that time, Cao Zirui's sword was holding the sharp teeth of the monster, and he couldn't move his hand, and his cultivation base was about to fall below the foundation-building stage due to the huge loss of spiritual power. His only spiritual power was barely enough to deal with this monster. , unable to defend against the sneak attack behind him.
Fortunately, he was wearing a defensive magic weapon given by his master. The defensive performance of that magic weapon was also high-grade among the earthly ranks, and it was enough to block the full blow of a Jindan stage monk.
It stands to reason that this trip should be foolproof.
However, the golden arrow in Lu Chengye's hand didn't know what it was about. He obviously only had the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining. Using the golden arrow, he actually pierced through this earth-level defensive magic weapon in one blow.
Fortunately, the earth-level magic weapon helped Cao Zirui block most of the power before it collapsed, so he was able to survive such a fatal killing situation by luck.
But his left shoulder was also seriously injured, and he didn't have time to heal the injury. He took advantage of the opponent's blow and was surprised, and immediately turned and ran away.
Although he didn't understand the reason, this fellow named Lu Chengye wanted to kill him sincerely, so Cao Zirui would not wait to die obediently.
He hid all the way to Tibet, originally thinking of temporarily recovering some spiritual power to catch his breath, but he didn't think that his spiritual power showed no signs of recovery, but was constantly losing. Go to the ninth floor of Qi Refining.
Directly fell below a big realm!
The loss in this is far more than that of Fang Yang who fell from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining, because every big realm is a threshold. Layers of spiritual power are more than ten times stronger.
The most terrible thing is that after breaking through the foundation, Cao Zirui also lost the ability to fly with his sword, and he could only escape with his legs.
On the way to escape, Cao Zirui also realized that there might be something wrong with the other party's pot of scented tea.He originally thought that the friendship between the same sects should be like the master said, unite and assist, and unite to the outside world.
Therefore, even though he didn't know Lu Chengye, he agreed to the other party's request to go with him just by looking at the other party's Taoist robe that was exactly the same as his own, and unsuspectingly drank the water offered by such a stranger.
The trust he had entrusted was in exchange for such a vicious murder.
While running away, he also warned himself in his heart that he must never trust others again.Especially fellow students!
Therefore, when he hid behind the bushes and found another fellow student, Fang Yang, he had no intention of coming forward to say hello or ask for help.
Lu Chengye, who is from the same sect, wanted to kill himself, but there was no guarantee that other people would not have such thoughts.And who knows if Fang Yang's appearance was accidental or intentional?
It's like he didn't expect to meet Lu Chengye in the mysterious floating island that was randomly teleported at the beginning, which was planned for a long time by the other party.
He only hoped that Fang Yang would not find himself, the wound on his shoulder was hurting constantly, the blood loss and the torn wound made him weaker and weaker.
Although Fang Yang seemed to only have the third level of Qi Refining, if Fang Yang, like Lu Chengye, had any magic weapon that could leapfrog challenges, he would surely die.
However, when he was hiding in the bushes, his left shoulder accidentally bumped into a branch that was growing horizontally. These branches didn't look very strong, but if they scratched casually, they would scratch a layer of skin.
What's more, his skin is torn apart, his clothes are stained with flesh and blood, and his left shoulder is hard to separate?
The severe pain made Cao Zirui tremble convulsively for a while, and he suppressed the pain in his throat, hoping that Fang Yang would not notice.
However, this is just self-deception. Although Fang Yang walked over pretending to be nonchalant, he finally found himself hiding in the bushes.
And, as expected, Fang Yang drew his sword directly at himself.
Another person who wants to kill himself!
Cao Zirui thought disheartened and desperately.
He didn't want to accept his fate, so he put up his weak body and raised his sword to meet him.
The next development was somewhat beyond his expectations. Fang Yang took the initiative to withdraw his sword after seeing himself clearly.
And the performance is really a bit stupid, not like a scheming and vicious person at all.
But Cao Zirui had just suffered a loss, so he didn't dare to trust others easily.
Therefore, he refused to give an inch, and beware that all Fang Yang's stupid actions are deceiving himself, so that he can kill himself when his vigilance is lax.
He didn't kill Fang Yang directly, because he was not sure, if Fang Yang was really not lying, but really stupid, wouldn't he have killed his fellow disciple by mistake?
Even if his own life is hanging by a thread, Cao Zirui is unwilling to be such a villain who will do anything for his own safety.
So he was in a stalemate, killing but not killing, and not daring to let go.
When his heart was in turmoil, the sound of the bell made him have to make a decision.
This is a magic weapon given to him by his senior brother, Xue Ren, a bell that can send out an early warning. He has been carrying it with him since he entered the secret realm of the floating island.
The bell was indeed as Xue Ren said, it would ring when danger approached, and it had rang before when he and Lu Chengye encountered monsters.
The principle of this magic weapon is actually to sense murderous aura. At the beginning, Lu Chengye carefully concealed his murderous aura, so the bell did not ring when the two walked together.
But after Lu Chengye failed, he didn't have to hide it at all.The leaked murderous aura was sensed by the bell, and on the way of Cao Zirui's escape, every time Lu Chengye approached, the bell would ring.
Now that the bell is ringing again, it is very likely that Lu Chengye is chasing after him again.
Although I don't know how Lu Chengye found himself again and again in such a dense forest, he no longer has the ability to fight with Lu Chengye who holds many high-level magic weapons.
He could only run away, running away regardless.
Whether Fang Yang is in the same gang as Lu Chengye, or just an innocent colleague, he can't control it.
Although he didn't want to kill his fellow disciples by mistake, he didn't have the kindness to sacrifice himself for others.
He himself is still in danger, so naturally he won't care about Fang Yang.
However...he had such selfish thoughts, but Fang Yang did not.
At such a time of life and death, there is no room for any hesitation or pretense.
Any choice Fang Yang made at that time was his truest thought.And his choice was to save himself at the risk of dying under the golden arrow with him.
When Fang Yang threw him to the ground, among the complicated emotions in Cao Zirui's heart, the most important one was shame.
Fang Yang didn't know what Cao Zirui was thinking in his heart, and he didn't know what happened, but in such a critical moment, he became wise.
"It's you?!" Fang Yang roughly pieced together the truth based on the few clues in front of him.
Why Cao Zirui was so wary of himself as a fellow student, and why he was so embarrassed, most likely he suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Chengye.
"It's me." Although Fang Yang didn't ask the question completely, it's not difficult to guess that Lu Chengye admitted it openly.
he finished
Yuanling grass is not a rare medicinal herb, but because it is extremely suitable as an alchemy material for neutralizing medicinal properties, it has a considerable demand in the market.
But it is only the lowest-level alchemy material, and the price is about one spirit stone per plant.
Compared with the spiritual plants in the secret realm of the floating island, which can be called the real treasures of heaven, material and earth, which cost tens of millions of spiritual stones, one piece of spiritual stone and one plant of Yuanling grass can't be sold at all, and no one is rushing to dig Yuanling grass. here.
Moreover, the digging of Yuanling grass is very troublesome, and the roots must not be damaged. Otherwise, if a little root is broken and the spiritual power leaks out, Yuanling grass will become an ordinary grass, worthless.
Therefore, you must be careful and careful when digging Yuanling grass. This is destined not to be a short-term task. The time you stay in the secret place of the floating island is limited. Instead of wasting time digging this worthless herb, it is better to find it. Other more expensive spiritual plants.
This is what most people think, they see Yuan Lingcao as if they didn't see it, and walk straight past.
But Fang Yang had a lot of fun digging. He had never seen any truly valuable medicinal herbs. For him, a piece of spirit stone and a plant of Yuanling grass were already rare materials that could be sold for money.
As a poor boy from the countryside, he is also not rich.His parents and relatives are all native peasants, and they can't read a few big characters, and they don't have gold or silver. Naturally, it is impossible to provide him with some spiritual stones that can be traded in the cultivation world.
All his savings came from the monthly subsidy of spirit stones given out by the sect. After a year, he had saved more than 100 spirit stones.
And there are about dozens of Yuanling grass here, as long as this clump of Yuanling grass is dug up, it is equivalent to getting dozens of spirit stones.
This is his income for most of the year!
Fang Yang, who had never seen the world before, was fascinated by dozens of spirit stones, digging with concentration and meticulousness.
Finally, after a long time, he dug up the clump of primordial spirit grass without leaving any.
Half of the time to enter the secret realm of the floating island has passed. During this half day, the other monks were either on the way to find the treasures, or they had already found the treasures, and they were chatting with the monks who discovered the treasures at the same time. There was a big fight, while Fang Yang was quietly digging grass.
And it is the least valuable spirit grass among all spirit plants.
Of course, Fang Yang didn't think so. He thought it would be a great harvest to bring back dozens of primordial spirit grass this trip.He tidied up these primordial spirit grasses and carefully put them into the storage bag.
Naturally, the storage bag that every member of the sect holds is not high-quality goods, and its internal space is too small to fit a normal-sized iron sword. Fang Yang put a set of clothes and some wound medicines in it, plus The large clump of primordial spirit grass that had just been dug had already bulged out of the storage bag.
Fang Yang patted his storage bag, which was almost full, and continued to move forward contentedly.
Since entering the secret realm of the floating island, he has not met anyone, let alone his only two acquaintances, Senior Brother Waste Chai and Brother Hao.
It is said that there are many dangers in the secret realm of the floating island, but Fang Yang has not even seen a monster so far.
Because of this, he also didn't see any real valuable spiritual plants.The treasures of heaven, material and earth are not only fought by humans, but also by monsters.
The monsters have always been sensitive, and they have lived here for a long time, knowing every corner of the secret place of the floating island like the back of their hands.Almost every place where natural treasures grow will be guarded by a monster, and when the spiritual plant really grows, it will swallow it in one gulp to improve its cultivation.
And those other monsters or humans attracted by Lingzhi are the prey of the monsters guarding here.
Of course, in the end who is the prey must be divided by strength.
The law of the jungle is the only law in the secret realm of the floating island.
"I don't know what Brother Waste Chai and Brother Hao are doing..." Fang Yang muttered a little lonely while walking.
Fortunately, he had such great expectations before he came, but he came in for a long time. There was no exciting plot like fighting fierce monsters and finding spirit treasures in various dangerous caves like in the script.
If he didn't have it, he didn't have it. At any rate, he harvested a bagful of Yuanling grass, which was considered a hundred yuan household.
It's just unavoidably a little boring, after all, it's too quiet here.
"Sigh, what Senior Brother Waste Chai said is correct, as expected, the storybook is full of lies." Fang Yang picked up a grass from the side of the road and sighed with it in his mouth.
After sighing, he felt that what he said was a bit wrong, and it wasn't completely deceiving. Didn't he just pick up a piece of bamboo that could talk to him?
Although it is not exactly the same as the one in the storybook, the protagonist in the storybook is a jade pendant made of mutton fat jade, which is a piece of bamboo that looks exactly like the bamboo grown by the sect.
In the jade pendant of the protagonist of the story, there is a kind and kind grandfather Songbao who provides countless exercise secrets for free. In the bamboo piece of his own is a somewhat stern elder brother, who has never seen a single exercise or cheat.
In such a comparison, this big brother living in bamboo slices is really a bit shabby.
In fact, Fang Yang didn't ask for any secrets of martial arts. It's good to have them, but he should have no one. He was already very happy that the mysterious big brother could teach him how to use swordsmanship.
only...
"Are you there?" Fang Yang took out the lanyard that he hung around his neck and hid it in his collar. The bamboo piece was at the bottom of the lanyard. He tried to talk to the mysterious big brother with his spiritual sense.
He waited quietly for a moment, but there was no response as expected.
"Sigh." Fang Yang sighed, if only the big brother who lived in the bamboo slice could be like the old grandfather who lived in the jade pendant, just like the old man who lived in the jade pendant, just like the old man who lived in the jade pendant, he would come and talk with him.
He has tried many times, but his words always sink into the sea, unable to turn over a little bit of waves.
I don't know if this big brother doesn't want to talk to him, or is he sleeping?He likes to sleep so much, why is he like his good-for-nothing senior brother.
Fang Yang was thinking wildly while walking, in this vast jungle, he walked for a long time without seeing anyone, and there were still tall trees in front of him, so he could only pass the time by thinking wildly.
In addition to the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind, and the singing of birds singing in the dense tree canopy, there are no other sounds.
"Susu."
Fang Yang's forward steps suddenly stopped, and the grass in his mouth fell to the ground at the same time.
He looked vigilantly at the one-meter-high shrubs not far in front of him. The "rusting" sound just now was made by the shrubs trembling.
There was no wind at this time, and it was absolutely impossible for the bushes to shake for no reason.
Probably something is hiding behind the bushes.
Thinking of this, Fang Yang paused for a moment, deliberately pretended not to notice, and continued walking forward.
But his hand that was casually holding the hilt of the sword was already clenched, and his sloppy steps became cautious.
After that short "rustling" sound, the bushes returned to their original state, without any abnormal movement or noise.
But Fang Yang knew that it was definitely not his illusion, and as his distance approached, he also vaguely heard some deliberately suppressed, but still heavy breathing.
What the hell is behind this bush?monster?
Most likely it was a monster.Fang Yang thought, although he tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, the rolling up and down of his Adam's apple still revealed his inner tension.
finally come!Those dangerous and exciting adventures in the storybook!
While Fang Yang was nervous, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Young people have an adventurous nature in their bones, so when he noticed the change, he didn't choose to leave, but walked forward instead.
He walked to a distance of three meters from the bush. Instead of walking directly towards the bush, he deliberately turned in a different direction, pretending to make a turn.
Then, when the thing behind the bushes thought he hadn't found him and was about to leave, Fang Yang turned around suddenly, and stabbed out the iron sword he had been holding in his hand at the same time.
I wanted to catch the opponent by surprise, but the opponent reacted equally quickly. When Fang Yang turned around suddenly, the thing behind the bushes also counterattacked.
With a sound of "Zheng", the swords collided.
It's not a monster?Fang Yang thought in surprise when he felt the metal impact along the blade.
He saw the gleaming blade of the iron sword that collided with his iron sword. In addition to the unique cold light of metal, there was also the aura of spiritual power flowing on the blade.
Fang Yang's eyes followed the sword body, and he saw the hilt engraved with complicated patterns. In the middle of the pattern was inlaid a spirit stone containing powerful spiritual power. Patterned iron swords are incomparable, and the opponent's hand is probably an expensive spiritual sword.
Finally, Fang Yang saw the thin and slender hand holding the hilt of the sword, a little smaller than an adult man, the boy's hand, and the owner of these hands.
"Cao Zirui!" Fang Yang called out the other person's name in surprise, unexpectedly, the first person he met in the secret realm of the floating island turned out to be Cao Zirui, a direct disciple of the sect leader whom he never had the chance to get close to.
After yelling, he found that the swords of the two were still touching each other, and their respective strengths did not slacken. Realizing that he had almost accidentally injured the same door, Fang Yang quickly took the initiative to withdraw the sword, and he apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know what it is... ...."
Before he could say the last word "you", he was forced to stop by the sword's edge reaching his throat.
Fang Yang took the sword away, but Cao Zirui did not.At the same time as Fang Yang retracted his sword, his sword edge stabbed forward, barely stopping an inch in front of Fang Yang's Adam's apple.
Holding the sword in his right hand, he looked coldly at Fang Yang, who looked harmless.
Fang Yang was stunned for a while by this unexpected development. When we met in the same family, shouldn't it be a friendly greeting and chatter?
What is Cao Zirui doing with the sword against himself?Fang Yang suddenly realized after a short period of doubt, he knew Cao Zirui, but Cao Zirui didn't know him!
So it is!Cao Zirui didn't dare to relax his guard because he was just a stranger who had never met him before and attacked him suddenly.
Fang Yang thought he had figured out the key, and raised his hands to pull the Lingxiao Sword Sect logo embroidered with a small sword pattern on his Taoist robe, telling Cao Zirui that he was his fellow sect.
However, as soon as he raised his hand, Cao Zirui's sword edge moved forward an inch, and Fang Yang leaned back quickly, so as not to let the sword edge that looked like iron cut like mud scratch the skin in front of his throat.
He didn't dare to move anymore, and only explained verbally: "My name is Fang Yang, and I am a junior disciple of the outer sect. I joined the Lingxiao Sword Sect in the same group as you last year. We are from the same sect."
Unable to pull, Fang Yang changed his mind. He blinked his eyelids with difficulty, and motioned Cao Zirui to look at the school pattern on his chest.
It's a pity that the sword's edge was in front of his throat, and he couldn't even lower his head, so it was a very difficult movement to use his eyes to signal Cao Zirui to look at his chest.Fang Yang obviously doesn't have much talent in this area, he looks like his eyelids are cramping when he does this action, it's funny and funny.
Cao Zirui's gaze was still cold, he was not amused by Fang Yang's funny expression, and his gaze did not move down, because he didn't need to look.
As early as when he was hiding behind the bushes, he found out that this person was his fellow disciple, but he still didn't relax his guard one bit.
Seeing that Cao Zirui was unmoved, Fang Yang finally realized what was wrong.
Cao Zirui's reaction was very strange. It stands to reason that he called out the opponent's name first, and then took the initiative to withdraw the sword. No matter how you say it, he showed that he was not hostile and probably knew the opponent.
Even if Cao Zirui didn't know his fellow sect, or didn't believe his fellow sect identity, at least he shouldn't raise his sword at each other like this, but ask himself a few words to verify his identity, right?
But Cao Zirui had no such intentions, his eyes were tightly locked on Fang Yang, and there was only cold guard in his eyes.Fang Yang had no doubt that Cao Zirui would stab him through his throat whenever he made any move that might attack him.
But before that, he didn't really want to kill Fang Yang, he was just on guard, and all his abnormal and overly sensitive offensive actions were just because he was afraid that Fang Yang would hurt himself.
Fear?Fang Yang was taken aback for a moment, he was sure that in Cao Zirui's cold eyes, he saw a trace of fear that was hidden but still leaked a little.
Cao Zirui is in the foundation building stage, and he has crushed the same foundation building fellows of the whole sect. With his strength, why should he be afraid of Fang Yang, who has fallen to the third level of Qi refining?
And they are the same door, aren't they?How can the same door hurt each other?
No, not right.Fang Yang suddenly realized that perhaps Cao Zirui had already discovered that he was his fellow disciple, but he still held his sword.
During the stalemate, a bead of sweat slipped from the corner of Cao Zirui's forehead. Fang Yang's eyes followed the bead of sweat on Cao Zirui's face. The sweat flowed down his lips. He noticed that Cao Zirui's tightly pursed lips were pale and bloodless. lips.
Beads of sweat fell from his cheeks and dripped onto the collar on his chest. Fang Yang noticed the strange dark black Taoist robe on his left shoulder again. There was a dark red color in the black.
The tip of Fang Yang's nose twitched slightly, belatedly smelling the pungent smell of blood in the air.
Reminiscent of the heavy, unmistakable breathing he heard as he approached the bushes, it's not hard to guess...
"Are you injured?!" Fang Yang's eyes widened slightly, looking at Cao Zirui who was in pain and sweating continuously in surprise.
The climate in the Floating Island Secret Realm is different from the outside world. Although the sun is shining, it is not hot. The sweat on Cao Zirui's forehead is obviously the cold sweat from the pain.
Even though he didn't know what Cao Zirui had experienced in the past half day, and what caused him to become a warlord, even his fellow disciples refused to believe it, even though the blood on his left shoulder was still expanding, he still refused to put down his sword to stop the bleeding for himself .
Cao Zirui didn't answer, Fang Yang found out about his injury, his eyes turned a little colder, because it meant greater danger to him.
The weaker he is, the more likely the opponent will attack him.
Fang Yang didn't know what Cao Zirui was thinking, so he subconsciously went to take out the storage bag on his waist. His action stimulated Cao Zirui, and Jianfeng immediately moved forward another inch.
Fang Yang quickly took a step back, and at the same time quickly explained: "I have no malicious intentions! I have wound medicine for trauma in my storage bag, which can help you stop the bleeding!"
After Cao Zirui listened, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't continue to attack after all.
But he didn't believe Fang Yang's words either, he just continued to hold his sword and signaled Fang Yang not to move.He didn't dare to bet that what Fang Yang took out from the storage bag was the healing medicine or the magic weapon to kill him.
Fang Yang had no choice but to stand where he was, watching Cao Zirui's face getting paler and paler. Although Cao Zirui didn't show him any good face, Fang Yang couldn't help but worry about his injury.
After all, they belonged to the same family, and Cao Zirui had a different meaning to Fang Yang... He was Fang Yang's goal, someone Fang Yang wanted to surpass.
Fang Yang hopes to defeat the opponent with his own strength. He pays attention to this opponent and envies this opponent. At the same time, he hopes that Cao Zirui will be safe and sound more than anyone else in this world, so that he can challenge him after he has achieved his cultivation.
But Cao Zirui was just like a stubborn stone, stubbornly holding his sword, completely ignoring his bleeding wound, as if he would just confuse Fang Yang until he bleeds to death.
When Fang Yang was anxious, a familiar male voice suddenly came from his ear.
It's that nice big brother's voice!
Fang Yang didn't have time to be happy, because the man's tone was hurried and anxious, he shouted in Fang Yang's sea of knowledge: "Run!"
run?Why do you want to run when you are so good?
Fang Yang was confused by these two words, and did not follow suit.
At the same time, there was a "ding bell", a crisp bell ringing.
Fang Yang followed the sound and saw that it was the bell tied around Cao Zirui's waist that was ringing. When he fought Cao Zirui just now, the bell didn't make a sound even with such a large range of movements.
But now, Cao Zirui was standing there perfectly, when it suddenly rang without wind.
Fang Yang didn't understand what the ringtone meant, but Cao Zirui's face suddenly changed, and his already pale face became even paler.
He suddenly withdrew his sword, left Fang Yang alone, and ran forward with heavy steps.
Fang Yang looked inexplicably at Cao Zirui's back running hard, but because of his injury, he couldn't run much faster than he walked. What's going on?
Soon, he understood.
Because a trace of heat suddenly came from behind him, the temperature soared, and within a short period of time, this little heat turned into a scorching heat wave.
There is a stream of fire galloping from afar, it is an arrow full of flames.
Golden arrow tip, red flame.
The golden arrow flew extremely fast, so fast that when it passed by in place, the remaining waves of flames were still burning in the air.
It walked all the way, and there was a flame tail several meters long in the air.
And this deadly arrow with a high-temperature flame that destroyed everything shot straight towards Fang Yang's position.
In Fang Yang's dilated pupils was the golden and red intertwined flames, and the man yelled again in his ears: "Get down!"
Finally figured out why the mysterious big brother wanted to run fast by himself just now, it was too late to run now, maybe he could escape by lying down.
Fang Yang subconsciously wanted to do so, but he saw Cao Zirui staggering a few meters ahead.
He looked back at the golden arrow that was getting closer, and estimated the trajectory of the flight. He suddenly realized that the target of the arrow was not himself, but Cao Zirui.
It's okay to lie down by yourself, but Cao Zirui...
Fang Yang struggled a little in his heart, he didn't struggle for too long, time did not allow him to hesitate, he suddenly gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and then rushed forward recklessly.
His pounce was very accurate, and he directly threw Cao Zirui, who was walking with his hands on his shoulders, onto the ground in a five-body throwing posture.
Cao Zirui struggled subconsciously twice, but Fang Yang pressed his shoulders hard, and he would not let go no matter what, letting Cao Zirui stick to the ground with him.
Less than a second after the two of them lay down on the ground, deadly flames passed less than half a meter above their heads, and then with a "bang", golden arrows pierced the ground in front of the two of them.
The ground with a diameter of three meters around the arrow began to collapse and sink, and moire-like cracks spread across the ground, barely stopping in front of the two of them.
The cracked rocks splashed all around, Fang Yang lay on Cao Zirui's body, and used his equally thin young body to help Cao Zirui block the rocks hitting the two of them.
The small stone was okay, and it could be tolerated, but it happened that a fist-sized stone hit Fang Yang's hand holding Cao Zirui, Fang Yang groaned in pain, but he still didn't let go.
Cao Zirui was firmly pressed on the ground by Fang Yang. He only struggled a few times at first, but as the scorching heat wave flew over him, he could feel it even though he didn't touch it. He also realized that Fang Yang What is the reason for rushing towards yourself, and immediately stopped moving.
He buried his face on the ground, and couldn't see the expression of Fang Yang who was pressing on him, but he heard the muffled humming in his ears.
Cao Zirui's mood suddenly became a little complicated. If Fang Yang hadn't jumped at him suddenly, he would have been crushed to pieces along with those cracked stones.
They were clearly strangers, and he drew his sword to face each other many times. At such a moment, Fang Yang still chose to protect himself.
He was already very disappointed in the so-called mutual help and mutual help friendship between his classmates, but when he was disheartened, he met such a kind-hearted fellow who was so stupid.
He believed in people who shouldn't be trusted, but when he met someone who should be trusted, he was full of guards and dared not entrust his trust.
Thinking of this, Cao Zirui couldn't help pursing his pale lips, and clenched his five fingers lying on the ground slightly.
The smoke and dust raised by the golden arrow hitting the ground slowly dissipated. Fang Yang raised his head carefully and looked around. It seemed that there was no danger, so he stood up while shaking his head.
He shook off the dust and gravel from his hair and clothes, stretched out his hand to Cao Zirui who was lying on the ground, and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
Cao Zirui looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, but didn't reach out to hold it for a while, but just looked at Fang Yang fixedly.
Fang Yang looked a little embarrassed. He thought that Cao Zirui's character was notoriously unapproachable, and he probably didn't want to reach out to pull him, so he shrank back in embarrassment.
However, just as he shrank by half, Cao Zirui grabbed his hand quickly, stood up with Fang Yang's strength, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay."
Although there were only two words, Fang Yang was still indescribably surprised and happy that Cao Zirui finally talked to him!
This super powerful fellow disciple who has always been a loner and never even met them, the junior disciples, talked to him!
Fang Yang couldn't help showing a smirk, Cao Zirui was his goal, and at the same time, his idol, both of the same age, Cao Zirui had already stood at a height that others could hardly match.
Of course, Fang Yang has more than one goal, his ultimate goal is to defeat Ying Long, who is known as the god of war in the heavens, but this is too far away after all, Cao Zirui is still closer.
After laughing, he remembered and asked Cao Zirui, "What's going on? How did you get hurt?"
He was full of doubts. It stands to reason that Cao Zirui's strength should be difficult to meet in the foundation establishment period, and the highest cultivation level in the secret territory of the floating island is the foundation establishment stage.Who has the ability to make Cao Zirui so embarrassed?
And... Fang Yang glanced at the golden arrow with half of its body inserted into the ground. What is the origin of this golden arrow?The sense of deterrence from that arrow just now far exceeds all Fang Yang's cognition so far.
He has more or less watched the contests in the foundation building stage, and has never eaten pork or seen pigs running. The power of this golden arrow is definitely higher than that of golden elixir.
"Yes..." General Cao Zirui said one word, and something happened suddenly.
"Be careful!" Fang Yang's gaze was on the golden arrow, so he noticed the movement of the golden arrow at the first time.
The half of the golden arrow inserted into the ground trembled slightly, and the hard soil around it cracked as the arrow trembled, and the golden arrow was about to break out of the ground.
Fang Yang immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Zirui back a few steps. Almost as soon as they retreated, the golden arrow flew up from the soil at the same time.
It's just that this time the arrow body didn't burn with flames, and it didn't shoot at Cao Zirui again, but the arrow turned around and flew in the opposite direction.
It didn't fly for too long, but after flying a distance of about ten meters, the arrow body stopped.
The man who didn't know when came over held the arrow body hanging in mid-air, his eyes wandered back and forth between Cao Zirui and Fang Yang.
When Cao Zirui saw the man's face clearly, his expression immediately became cold, with the anger of being deceived under the coldness.
Fang Yang, who stood in front of him, also frowned. He also knew this man, who was wearing the same style of Taoist robes as himself and Cao Zirui, with a familiar mocking expression on his face.
"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I can still encounter such a good thing as killing two birds with one stone, hahaha, or say that good things come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. It's just that this good thing is mine..." Lu Chengye pointed at the two with the tip of the arrow with a smile. Man: "The disaster is yours."
Cao Zirui gritted his teeth when he heard that.Not long after he entered the secret realm of the floating island, he ran into this fellow by accident, he just took it as a coincidence, and Lu Chengye tried his best to flatter him, saying that he was humble, so he begged Cao Zirui to take care of him.
The left and right are also from the same family, thinking of the master's entrustment before leaving, they should take care of them, and it is also fate to meet in such a big secret place, so Cao Zirui agreed.
He walked with Lu Chengye, and along the way, Lu Chengye was busy, asking him if he was hungry, and if he was thirsty, Cao Zirui couldn't resist his enthusiasm.
He refused at first, but he couldn't stand Lu Chengye's softness, so in order to make the other party quiet, he took the water bag from Lu Chengye and took a sip. He didn't know what kind of water it was. Lu Chengye said it was a flower bubble scented tea, cool and relieve heat.
They didn't feel the coolness and fire, but not long after drinking the scented tea, the two encountered a monster in the foundation period.
Cao Zirui didn't panic, he was very confident in his own strength, he could handle it alone.Therefore, he motioned to Lu Chengye to wait aside, and he took care of the monster himself.
Lu Chengye thanked him again and again, and flattered Cao Zirui so much that he couldn't help but retreat to the side to watch the battle quietly.
When Cao Zirui was fighting fiercely with the monsters, he suddenly noticed that his dantian was losing a lot of spiritual power. He was still in a state of shock, not knowing what was going on.
He was also forced by the monster beast in front of him, so he had to concentrate on fighting, but he didn't want to, when he was about to kill the monster beast with all his strength, a deadly crimson stream of fire struck behind him.
This was something he had never been prepared for. He never expected that this fellow disciple who had been chasing and flattering him all the way would suddenly try to kill him.
And there is no room for it, a one-hit lore.
At that time, Cao Zirui's sword was holding the sharp teeth of the monster, and he couldn't move his hand, and his cultivation base was about to fall below the foundation-building stage due to the huge loss of spiritual power. His only spiritual power was barely enough to deal with this monster. , unable to defend against the sneak attack behind him.
Fortunately, he was wearing a defensive magic weapon given by his master. The defensive performance of that magic weapon was also high-grade among the earthly ranks, and it was enough to block the full blow of a Jindan stage monk.
It stands to reason that this trip should be foolproof.
However, the golden arrow in Lu Chengye's hand didn't know what it was about. He obviously only had the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining. Using the golden arrow, he actually pierced through this earth-level defensive magic weapon in one blow.
Fortunately, the earth-level magic weapon helped Cao Zirui block most of the power before it collapsed, so he was able to survive such a fatal killing situation by luck.
But his left shoulder was also seriously injured, and he didn't have time to heal the injury. He took advantage of the opponent's blow and was surprised, and immediately turned and ran away.
Although he didn't understand the reason, this fellow named Lu Chengye wanted to kill him sincerely, so Cao Zirui would not wait to die obediently.
He hid all the way to Tibet, originally thinking of temporarily recovering some spiritual power to catch his breath, but he didn't think that his spiritual power showed no signs of recovery, but was constantly losing. Go to the ninth floor of Qi Refining.
Directly fell below a big realm!
The loss in this is far more than that of Fang Yang who fell from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining, because every big realm is a threshold. Layers of spiritual power are more than ten times stronger.
The most terrible thing is that after breaking through the foundation, Cao Zirui also lost the ability to fly with his sword, and he could only escape with his legs.
On the way to escape, Cao Zirui also realized that there might be something wrong with the other party's pot of scented tea.He originally thought that the friendship between the same sects should be like the master said, unite and assist, and unite to the outside world.
Therefore, even though he didn't know Lu Chengye, he agreed to the other party's request to go with him just by looking at the other party's Taoist robe that was exactly the same as his own, and unsuspectingly drank the water offered by such a stranger.
The trust he had entrusted was in exchange for such a vicious murder.
While running away, he also warned himself in his heart that he must never trust others again.Especially fellow students!
Therefore, when he hid behind the bushes and found another fellow student, Fang Yang, he had no intention of coming forward to say hello or ask for help.
Lu Chengye, who is from the same sect, wanted to kill himself, but there was no guarantee that other people would not have such thoughts.And who knows if Fang Yang's appearance was accidental or intentional?
It's like he didn't expect to meet Lu Chengye in the mysterious floating island that was randomly teleported at the beginning, which was planned for a long time by the other party.
He only hoped that Fang Yang would not find himself, the wound on his shoulder was hurting constantly, the blood loss and the torn wound made him weaker and weaker.
Although Fang Yang seemed to only have the third level of Qi Refining, if Fang Yang, like Lu Chengye, had any magic weapon that could leapfrog challenges, he would surely die.
However, when he was hiding in the bushes, his left shoulder accidentally bumped into a branch that was growing horizontally. These branches didn't look very strong, but if they scratched casually, they would scratch a layer of skin.
What's more, his skin is torn apart, his clothes are stained with flesh and blood, and his left shoulder is hard to separate?
The severe pain made Cao Zirui tremble convulsively for a while, and he suppressed the pain in his throat, hoping that Fang Yang would not notice.
However, this is just self-deception. Although Fang Yang walked over pretending to be nonchalant, he finally found himself hiding in the bushes.
And, as expected, Fang Yang drew his sword directly at himself.
Another person who wants to kill himself!
Cao Zirui thought disheartened and desperately.
He didn't want to accept his fate, so he put up his weak body and raised his sword to meet him.
The next development was somewhat beyond his expectations. Fang Yang took the initiative to withdraw his sword after seeing himself clearly.
And the performance is really a bit stupid, not like a scheming and vicious person at all.
But Cao Zirui had just suffered a loss, so he didn't dare to trust others easily.
Therefore, he refused to give an inch, and beware that all Fang Yang's stupid actions are deceiving himself, so that he can kill himself when his vigilance is lax.
He didn't kill Fang Yang directly, because he was not sure, if Fang Yang was really not lying, but really stupid, wouldn't he have killed his fellow disciple by mistake?
Even if his own life is hanging by a thread, Cao Zirui is unwilling to be such a villain who will do anything for his own safety.
So he was in a stalemate, killing but not killing, and not daring to let go.
When his heart was in turmoil, the sound of the bell made him have to make a decision.
This is a magic weapon given to him by his senior brother, Xue Ren, a bell that can send out an early warning. He has been carrying it with him since he entered the secret realm of the floating island.
The bell was indeed as Xue Ren said, it would ring when danger approached, and it had rang before when he and Lu Chengye encountered monsters.
The principle of this magic weapon is actually to sense murderous aura. At the beginning, Lu Chengye carefully concealed his murderous aura, so the bell did not ring when the two walked together.
But after Lu Chengye failed, he didn't have to hide it at all.The leaked murderous aura was sensed by the bell, and on the way of Cao Zirui's escape, every time Lu Chengye approached, the bell would ring.
Now that the bell is ringing again, it is very likely that Lu Chengye is chasing after him again.
Although I don't know how Lu Chengye found himself again and again in such a dense forest, he no longer has the ability to fight with Lu Chengye who holds many high-level magic weapons.
He could only run away, running away regardless.
Whether Fang Yang is in the same gang as Lu Chengye, or just an innocent colleague, he can't control it.
Although he didn't want to kill his fellow disciples by mistake, he didn't have the kindness to sacrifice himself for others.
He himself is still in danger, so naturally he won't care about Fang Yang.
However...he had such selfish thoughts, but Fang Yang did not.
At such a time of life and death, there is no room for any hesitation or pretense.
Any choice Fang Yang made at that time was his truest thought.And his choice was to save himself at the risk of dying under the golden arrow with him.
When Fang Yang threw him to the ground, among the complicated emotions in Cao Zirui's heart, the most important one was shame.
Fang Yang didn't know what Cao Zirui was thinking in his heart, and he didn't know what happened, but in such a critical moment, he became wise.
"It's you?!" Fang Yang roughly pieced together the truth based on the few clues in front of him.
Why Cao Zirui was so wary of himself as a fellow student, and why he was so embarrassed, most likely he suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Chengye.
"It's me." Although Fang Yang didn't ask the question completely, it's not difficult to guess that Lu Chengye admitted it openly.
he finished
