Alienated Martial Arts

The northern wilderness grassland is filled with mist.

We had just suffered a white disaster that was rare in decades. Heavy snow covered almost everything, and everything as far as the eye could see was completely white.

Deep in the snowfield, there is a large area of ​​​​water. Together with the rivers flowing in and out, it nourishes and nourishes countless living creatures around it.

For the nearby Northern Wilderness tribes, this body of water is the basis for their survival. Therefore, it has been cherished and even worshiped since ancient times, and it gradually became known as the Holy Lake.

In the middle of the swamp, stands a small island that covers a small area but looks like a steep mountain peak.

Among the many rumors popular in the Northern Wilderness, if you climb to the top of the Holy Island, you can directly communicate with the divine will of Brahma, completely wash away all sins, take off all shackles, and enjoy true peace and freedom.

However, except for the royal bloodline who live in the Golden Tent, the leaders and nobles of various tribes, and the masters and priests who can communicate with the spiritual will of Brahma, the other untouchables have dirty souls and low bloodline. The Holy Island is a forbidden place that they dare not approach.

In the afternoon of this day, the wind and snow stopped for a while.

A slender woman walked slowly and came to a low peak on the edge of the Holy Island.

She looked far into the distance, staring at the surface of the water covered with ice and snow. Her long skirt floated slowly in the cold wind, creating a beautiful picture of both movement and stillness.

Quietly, an old man wearing a black robe and a miserable face appeared behind her.

The woman did not look back, but said lightly, "Master Saint Master has not yet left seclusion. Senior Dragon Saint's arrival may be a bit unlucky, so he needs to wait here for a while."

After a moment of silence, she asked again, "Senior Dragon Saint, has your injury recovered?"

The old man in black robe shook his head, "Thank you Princess Huang Yan for your concern. I have only been able to control the deterioration of the trauma, but there is still a long way to go before recovery."

"Oh?" She frowned in confusion, "With Senior Dragon Saint's level, he can't control his injuries?"

The old man sighed lowly, his voice extremely weak, "I didn't expect that the spiritual backlash of Da Brahma's rebirth in heaven would be so terrifying.

No, that's not right, maybe that is not the spiritual intention of Brahma, but the malice of the dark abyss suppressed by Brahma, disguised as spiritual intention, and has been constantly eroding my spiritual will. "

The woman slowly turned around, and a dense white mist gradually emerged, covering her inside, making it impossible to see clearly what was inside.

"According to Senior Dragon Saint, are you sure that you were corroded by the evil thoughts of the Dark Abyss when you were comprehending the spiritual intention of Brahma's rebirth in heaven?"

Long Sheng shook his head slowly, "I just had a guess, but I'm not sure, so I came here again to look for the Holy Master and listen to her opinion."

At this point, he fell into silence, and after a long time he slowly said, "In addition, this injury also let me know that after more than a hundred years of time, especially the accumulation of hidden injuries from repeated battles. Afterwards.

Even if I am in the realm of a master who has been transformed into a human being, my spirit and body are already riddled with holes. Only by overcoming the predicament and moving forward can I truly be reborn and gain a new life. "

Huang Yan lowered his eyes and stared at a small piece of white snow below, "The Holy Master has also said before that when there is life, there will be death. Only by getting rid of the old can we welcome the new. Only in this way can it be consistent with the cycle of life and death in the world. road.

Therefore, even if a warrior becomes a master, although his life level is different from that of other mortals, if he wants to pry into the mystery of life and death, and then care about immortality, he still goes against nature, and there is almost no precedent for success. "

Dragon Saint's face was solemn, his gaze penetrated the pavilion, and looked towards the increasingly gloomy sky outside, "It's a pity that my talent and qualifications are not excellent. This time, I was backlashed by Brahma's spiritual power, and did not move forward further, completely pushing away the cathode. The door to Yangsheng.

If you can reach the realm of a grand master, you will be able to sweep away the haze. Even if you still can't get rid of the shackles of the cycle of life and death, you can at least get rid of the current sluggishness and postpone the trend of accelerating towards the entrance of life and death. "

In the far distance, dark clouds swept over the sky again, and soon there was ice and snow, filling the sky and the earth again.

At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly sounded quietly.

Although they didn't know where it came from, it slowly flowed into their ears.

"It turns out that the leader of the Dragon Saint Tribe is here. I apologize for being a little disappointed."

Long Sheng straightened his clothes and gave a slight salute, "Saint Master, you're welcome. I'm here this time because of the matter last time. I want to ask Saint Master to help me recover from my injuries as soon as possible."

"I'm in the blood pool. The leader of the dragon tribe can come directly."

The soft female voice gradually faded away, disappearing without a trace at the moment when the wind and snow fell on the island.

Soon after, Long Sheng arrived at the main peak in the center of the island and entered a secret passage that continued to extend downward.

The icy cold wind came from below, mixed with a dull and scary scream.

With a calm expression, he walked straight down the chaotic stone steps.

Until they came to a rusty metal door.

Long Sheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. Feeling the coldness coming from it, he stepped inside.

It was filled with the aura of decay and decay, as if what he opened was not an ordinary iron door, but a dark barrier leading to death.

After walking forward a little distance, you can see a pool appearing in front of you.

Under the dim light, the water in the pool was dark red and almost black, exuding a fishy-sweet smell that was so rich that it was almost indissoluble.

There was a square stone platform in the middle of the pool. A figure sat on it and slowly opened his eyes.

The closer he got to the pool, the more Long Sheng felt that his mind was clear and his thoughts were clear. Compared with having to endure pain outside, it was simply incomparable.

"Dragon Saint has met the Saint Master."

The Dragon Saint stopped at the edge of the pool and bowed again, "Standing next to the Saint Master, I feel like I have come to the heaven where Brahma was born, surrounded by all kinds of spiritual beings, even the trauma to my spiritual will. It’s getting better.”

A faint sigh came from the pool, "I have been thinking about the situation faced by the Dragon Tribe Leader for a while, but now there are two solutions. It depends on what the Dragon Tribe Leader wants to choose."

Dragon Saint bowed and said, "Holy Master, please speak. I am all ears."

After pausing for a moment, she continued, "The first way is that Dragon Chief needs to abandon all the mundane things outside, calm down on the island, and refine his soul.

After three or two years of this, you can reduce the major problems you face and control them within an acceptable range. "

Long Sheng was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head, "Three years is too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait. Moreover, according to the Holy Master, this method seems to only alleviate the problem, rather than fundamentally solving the problem."

"Then there is only the second way."

She slowly raised her head, revealing an extremely strange face.

The one on the left is a male, and the right is a female. It is like finding two completely different men and women, taking half of their faces from each, and seamlessly stitching them together.

Under the cheeks of the mixed male and female, there are dense blisters all over the neck, like countless shining one-eyes.

In addition, there were countless transparent tentacles that stretched out from under the white robe that covered the entire body, and were all submerged into the depths of the dark red pool water.

If you look closely, it looks like straws as thin as hair, which will turn bright red with every breath she takes, absorbing a large amount of water from the blood pool and injecting it into her body.

The tentacles surged, supporting her to get up a little and stood up from the stone platform.

The white robe slowly changed, revealing part of the arm that had been tightly covered before, but not a single piece of skin could be seen, only fresh flesh and blood dripping with blood and terrifying.

Quietly, the treacherous threads twisted and surged, like a large mass of dense hair, crossing half of the blood pool and arriving in front of the Dragon Saint.

At this moment, she spoke again, "The second way is to let me implant spiritual threads in the main body of the dragon, allowing it to intercept and share the malice that affects your mental will. By the way, it can also help you repair the hidden wounds in your body. Slow down the rate of physical decay and weakness.”

"Of course, this method also has hidden dangers, that is, if the spiritual thread backfires in the future, the leader of the Dragon Tribe will suffer terrible torture again, and even suffer extreme pain of not being able to survive or die."

"Lingsi backlash?"

Long Sheng thought silently and took another look at the figure not far away that even he felt was terrifying. "Could the current condition of the Saint Master be the result of the backlash of the spiritual thread?"

"Yes, if this were not the case, I would not have come to the Northern Wilderness, relying on the spiritual power of Brahma to suppress my own problems, and at the same time find a way to enjoy purity and freedom."

When she said this, a smile appeared on the face of the woman on the right, but the left half of her face was still cold, "This is the price you may pay for implanting the spiritual thread. The leader of the Dragon Tribe can think carefully about what choice to make."

Long Sheng frowned and said, "I have seen the powerful army created by the Holy Master with the method of spiritual thread before. Even my tribe has three hundred troops, but I have not found any one with the backlash of spiritual thread. ."

"They have only been implanting spiritual threads for a short period of time. We still need to wait a few days to see what happens. Moreover, we cannot generalize between people."

She smiled and said, "For example, the leader of the Dragon Tribe can practice all the way to the realm of the master, and even almost opens the door of Yin Ji Yang's life. Who among these little guys has reached the height of the leader? level?"

Long Sheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was speechless for a long time.

She was not in a hurry, and sat down on the stone platform in the pool again. She looked at her nose with her eyes, her nose with her mouth, and her mouth with her heart. She soon entered a state of concentration where she forgot both things and myself.

Two figures stood and sat, separated by the dark red water, each thinking silently.

It wasn't until the tea time passed that Long Sheng secretly sighed, "I have thought about it, and I will follow the second method of Master Saint.

After all, with my current situation and deteriorating physical condition, if I don’t encounter other opportunities in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive for three years. How can I dare to aim too high and think too much? "

"Master Dragon, is it confirmed?"

"I have made up my mind, and I will not change it, nor will I regret it afterwards."

"Well, Lord Dragon, please calm down, let go of your defenses, and wait for the silk threads to take root in your body."

At this point, her tone suddenly became softer, "This time will not be too long, it will only take less than an hour at most."

"Master Dragon, don't worry. With me personally protecting the process and the benefits from the blood pool, there will definitely be no mistakes in the whole process."

Time passed little by little.

Finally, all the treacherous threads quietly receded.

Revealing the covered body underneath.

Long Sheng opened his eyes at this moment, feeling his spirit that suddenly became agile and clear, and the vitality that gradually emerged from the depths of his body, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

He took a step back and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Holy Master, for your help."

"Master Dragon, there is no need to be polite."

She said slowly, "Now that this matter is over, the leader of the Dragon Tribe can leave with peace of mind. As long as he is not seriously injured in the future, Weisi will not easily backfire. This must be kept in mind by the leader."

Long Sheng nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by a voice behind him.

"The Golden Dragon Hundreds under Lord Dragon were completely wiped out just now. Even Young Master Longyin, who was given the spiritual silk by me, lost his spiritual silk at the same time, and his body and soul disappeared."

"Yin'er is actually dead!?"

Dragon Saint's body moved slightly, "Master Saint, do you know who is so ruthless and dares to kill the children of our clan?"

"I don't know who they are specifically, but I can roughly tell where and when the battle took place."

Her voice was calm and there was no fluctuation, "And that person seems to have swallowed a lot of my spiritual threads. If the Dragon Master is nearby, he should be able to sense his presence."

"I understand, thank you Holy Master for informing me about this."

Long Sheng calmed down his expression, turned around and left in large strides.

She was left alone in the pool of blood. She reached out and touched the left half of the male prime minister's cheek. Her fingertips even penetrated deeply, and traces of blood flowed out.

"Now that I have the blessing of the great Brahma's spiritual will, and more and more Northern Wilderness warriors have joined me to help me deal with you, let us take a look, as time goes by, who will Be the final winner.”

………………

Wei Tao braved the wind and snow and walked quickly.

Instead of continuing north, he began to return south.

After encountering the hundred-man team with the golden dragon flag flying high, he searched for nearly two days along the river, but he never found anything else.

It can be seen that the Northern Wilderness is too vast and sparsely populated, and various tribes are chasing grass along the river and living in no fixed places. It is not easy to explore and find information in it. It is very likely that a lot of energy will be wasted, but it will end up in a bamboo basket. A vain effort.

It would be better to return to the mountain for now, tell the Lord the information we have, and then make further plans.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

At this moment, an abandoned village appeared at the end of Wei Tao's sight.

He immediately speeded up and quickly approached.

During this period of time, he was either traveling with high intensity or fighting one after another. Even Wei Tao felt tired. It is really a joy to find a shelter that can protect him from the wind and rain.

The village seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Most of the houses have collapsed, leaving only a few stone houses, still standing stubbornly in the howling cold wind.

Wei Tao found a random room and went in, using the last light before night fell, he cleared a flat open space.

Then a bonfire was built, a few pheasants just caught outside the village were plucked, cleaned, and grilled on top.

He untied the package, took out the dry food and seasonings seized from the Northern Wilderness Cavalry, threw them into a small pot, mixed them with snow water and heated them together.

Then he opened the last two bags of spirits and waited until the soup pot boiled and the chicken was roasted. The rich aroma suddenly filled the entire stone house.

Barbecue, wine, and hot porridge, while listening to the howling wind and snow outside, give you a unique and wonderful feeling.

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far and near.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, sealed the wine bag and tied it tightly, and walked into the courtyard in a flash.

In the second step, he had crossed the half-collapsed courtyard wall and reached the road outside.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew on his body, which also made Wei Tao, who was feeling hot all over, let out a sigh of contentment.

A figure stepped into the deserted village at this moment, and then suddenly froze there.

She narrowed her eyes, her eyes cold and murderous, "Who are you?"

Wei Tao looked at the Beihuang woman a few steps away quietly, with a gentle smile on his face, "I am wearing this red robe, so of course I am a secret sect master. Who are you?"

"Tantre Master?"

"For such a young tantric master, you haven't even shaved your hair. Are you lying?"

The woman sneered silently, stepped forward without warning, and struck violently.

boom!

A blazing palm wind roared in.

Disturbing the big group of snowflakes, it also distorted the middle-aged woman's unattractive face.

oh?

She was actually more impatient and urgent than him, and she actually took action directly before he could?

What's more, looking at her moves, they seem to be inexplicably familiar.

Wei Tao's eyes were as deep as a deep pool, staring at her movements in a daze.

Just when he was lost in thought, the Beihuang woman didn't pause at all, and quickly stepped forward and slapped him down with her palm.

Her attack, whether it was the pace, movement or the angle of the shot, did not go straight to the center line, but kept changing its position, and at the same time rolled up large swaths of wind and snow, making it difficult to accurately judge her landing point.

And every time she changes direction, her speed seems to increase by a point, her palms become stronger, and she has almost perfected the secret of accumulating momentum.

"This Northern Wilderness monk is still in a daze!"

At the moment when she suddenly took action, the Beihuang woman stared into Wei Tao's eyes, clearly noticing that he was absent-minded.

"He dared to be stunned in the face of my all-out attack. I really don't know if he is confident in his strength, or if he is simply frightened and doesn't know how to respond..."

The Beihuang woman clapped her palm, and suddenly a strange thought came to her heart.

"I remembered why I had this inexplicably familiar feeling."

"In the Touring Department and the Military Supervision Department, whether they are Liu Qingyuan's subordinates or Lu Zhihe's subordinates, there are people who know this killing move."

"Although the skills used by this Northern Wilderness woman are much more powerful than those two people, from a fundamental point of view, they are indeed connected by the same origin."

Wei Tao's mind was racing with thoughts, and he watched her slap it down with her palm, and it was about to land on the vital part of his neck.

However, the half-raised arm fell down again, and his feet moved slightly at the same time, taking a step back like a ghost.

boom!

At this moment, the Beihuang woman's arms swelled up, her nails popped out, and her palms turned into claws.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the move was about to become exhausted, he leaned forward a foot without any warning.

"It's quite interesting."

"This move actually has such mysterious subsequent changes."

"I don't know if Liu Qingyuan's subordinates only performed the first half of the move in front of me, or if this woman is extremely talented and created the rest of the move herself."

Wei Tao's eyes flashed, but he still didn't raise his hand to stop him.

Instead, he turned slightly sideways while retreating, avoiding his chest, and let her place a claw on his left shoulder.

A crisp click sound penetrated the dark wind and snow and spread far in this dilapidated village.

There was also a suppressed cry of pain, coming from the mouth of the Beihuang woman who staggered back.

"Your movement is quite agile, and your final killing move is also quite mysterious. Unfortunately, because your body is too weak, the lethality of the final explosion is seriously insufficient. Even when I deliberately released the water, I was injured due to the countershock." itself."

At this point, he slowly shook his head and sighed secretly, "If I hadn't used my shoulders to release my strength just now to catch your grab after changing the move, but instead raised my hand to block it, what would have happened between lightning and flint. Under acceleration, you won’t want this arm anymore.”

The Beihuang woman covered her broken wrist with a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Who are you!?"

Wei Tao said, "I should be the one to ask this question. After all, you are wearing the clothes of Beihuang, but you are performing exercises circulated within the Zhou Dynasty. There are many doubts about you, which can't help but make people suspicious." ."

She screamed miserably, "I won't tell you, just kill me!"

The voice was shrill and shrill, echoing far away in the dark night.

"Those who really want to die would have committed suicide silently by then instead of shouting like you."

Wei Tao's eyes flashed with thought, "So, you are actually reminding your companions that there is danger here."

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a fur coat came quickly through the wind and snow.

Seeing the two people confronting each other, the man's eyes fell on the conspicuous bloody red robe, and he subconsciously held the handle of the knife at his waist.

The woman bit her lower lip, stared at her companion who was approaching quickly, and suddenly slapped him away.

Wei Tao originally wanted to speak, but the next moment he automatically closed his mouth and watched the scene happening in front of him with great interest.

The woman was almost crazy, beating and scolding her, "Are you a fool? I have given you such an obvious warning, and yet you insist on coming here to die!"

"Do you think you are brave enough to face death?"

"I'm telling you, you are a pure stupid pig!"

"No, at least when you hear the sound of pigs being killed, other pigs still know how to run away in fear. You are so stupid that you are worse than a pig."

The middle-aged man did not dodge, and received a slap in the face. His cheek suddenly swelled up, and a wisp of blood spilled from the corner of his lip.

But he wasn't angry at all, he just smiled and said, "I have asked the others to disperse and escape. As for myself, I naturally want to save you."

"If you can't beat him, you will die in vain." The woman sighed, looking pale, and muttered to herself.

The middle-aged man still smiled, "It's better to die with you than to run away and live alone."

As he spoke, he patted the woman's arm, blocked her behind, and looked at the figure standing silently not far away.

"Although your Excellency is wearing the red robe of the Esoteric Cult, you are not a monk of the Esoteric Cult, but a warrior who came north from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

He stared at Wei Tao for a moment, but his expression softened, and he spoke pure Zhou Mandarin, even with a slight Central Plains accent.

Wei Tao was quite surprised, so he used Zhanzhan Qi Technique to observe, and found that this person's Qi and blood were really strong, and he had at least reached Qi and blood level six or above, and he might even be at the level of viscera training.

After a moment of silence, Wei Tao nodded slowly, "You are right, I am indeed not a Tantric monk. The reason for going north this time is to collect information about the unusual movements in the Northern Wilderness.

But I think you two are not from the Northern Wilderness, but spies sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty. "

The man smiled and said, "If I count my ancestral home, I am indeed not from the Northern Wilderness tribes, but I have lived in hiding in the Northern Wilderness for more than ten years. In many cases, I am more pure than other Northern Wilderness tribesmen. The people of the Northern Wilderness."

Speaking of this, he let out a breath of cold air, "Both of us are Shaoqing of Zhenbei Division. I sneaked into Beihuang to collect intelligence more than ten years ago, and she has been responsible for communicating with me."

Wei Tao nodded, "In this case, you have either obtained enough information, or your identity in the Northern Wilderness has been exposed, so you have to make a decisive decision and return south directly."

"Sir, your eyes are as bright as a torch. I admire you so much."

The middle-aged man sighed, "I originally wanted to hide for a while and find out detailed information about the Northern Wilderness ministries' preparations for a large-scale march south, but I didn't expect that my traces were exposed during this meeting, and I had no choice but to run away in a hurry to avoid pursuit. "

When Wei Tao heard this, he suddenly asked, "What information did you find out that made them sneak into Beihuang to pick you up at any cost?"

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, and he was ready to say something to explain.

But he was interrupted by Wei Tao suddenly raising his hand.

"Don't talk yet, it's best to stay quiet."

After finishing speaking, Wei Tao lowered his eyes and his ears twitched slightly.

Listening to the information brought by the cold wind in the night.

Time passed little by little.

It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that he opened his eyes and sighed secretly, "It seems that the secret you found out is not trivial, and it actually allowed a Northern Wilderness Grandmaster to pursue him here personally."

"Grandmaster of Beihuang?"

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, "Are you sure there really is a Beihuang Grandmaster nearby!?"

"I can tell you, of course it's certain."

Wei Tao nodded, his tone still calm, "One more thing, the other party shot a total of four times in different directions south of this deserted village. They should have killed four people. I don't know if they were the subordinates you brought. ."

At this moment, a muffled sound came from a distance.

The ground trembled slightly, and large clouds of snowflakes fell from the trees nearby.

Wei Tao was slightly startled, "There are five people now."

"I shot five times and killed five people!?"

The middle-aged man felt the movement just now, with a desperate expression on his face, "It's over, they dispatched the master so quickly, we will die if we die, but this piece of information in our hands, stained with the blood of our colleagues, is It cannot be passed back.”

The woman on the side turned to look, and her voice suddenly became gentle, "Brother Yan, we can give this gentleman the last secret letter, and then lead the Beihuang Grandmaster away in the opposite direction. This way, it is possible for him to escape from danger. , and then send the information back to Zhenbei Division."

Wei Tao was slightly surprised, "Why don't you beg me and let me lure the Grandmaster away while you try to find a way to escape?

After all, compared to the two of them, I am stronger and should run faster. "

The woman sighed, "In this case, none of the three of us will be able to survive. It would be better for two of us to die, so that the most powerful sir can escape with his life."

"What are your two names?"

Wei Tao said with emotion, "It's quite impressive for Zhenbei Division to be able to cultivate such subordinates."

"Huo Xin, I'm very old, so I will try my best to delay as much time as possible so that my husband can..."

Their words were not finished.

Wei Tao then slowly turned around and looked towards the wilderness outside the village.

"Maybe there's a third option."

He took a deep breath of icy air and exhaled slowly, "As long as we kill the Northern Wilderness Grandmaster and solve the problem-causing person, then all problems will cease to exist."

Huo and Chen were stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, the next moment, a hoarse voice accompanied by the night wind filled their hearts with surprise, doubts, and deep confusion that was difficult to resolve.

"I traveled day and night, following the ray of induction brought by the spiritual thread given by the Holy Master, and finally found you."

Quietly, the figure of Dragon Saint appeared from the darkness and slowly approached, "Oh? You actually subdued two Northern Wilderness tribesmen as your subordinates. Then I will send you all to the underworld for the sake of peace." I will take revenge on you and the hundreds of descendants of our clan."

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes, and the old figure in black robes was reflected in his eyes.

His expression also became serious at this moment, "You are the strongest Beihuang Grandmaster I have ever seen, so in order to show my respect for you, I will use the strongest strength to beat you to death later and send you to the Great University." Brahma is born in heaven and meets his people."
