Alienated Martial Arts

The cold wind is as sharp as a knife.

A middle-aged man held the harpoon tightly and hid behind the ice, not daring to move.

In this harsh and cold weather, there was a layer of sweat on his back, almost soaking through the clothes underneath.

He tried his best to keep his breathing down, not daring to make any noise.

Perhaps because of too much fear, his heart kept beating loudly, and it was like thunder in his ears.

I wonder if it will attract the attention of that thing, find him from his hiding place, tear him to pieces and eat him.

And just ten feet away, a monster that was nearly ten feet tall and several feet long, with wings attached to its ribs, lowered its head and was happily devouring several broken corpses.

The sound of gnawing was heard constantly, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the cold wind, which made people feel sick.

The middle-aged man makes a living by fishing and hunting. Today he just went fishing as usual, but he did not expect to encounter such a terrifying thing.

You can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.

People who live on the shores of the ice sea have developed the ability to dig through the ice to fish and hunt sea animals since childhood.

They are not among the Northern Wilderness tribes, and they do not believe in the Great Brahma, but in a god named Ice Soul Spirit, and they worship with great piety every morning and evening.

As for this kind of place, which is even more bitter and cold than the Northern Wilderness, neither the Golden Tent nor the major tribes have any interest in it. If they had not had several confrontations with the cultivators in the Black Ice Sea, they might never set foot here in their lives.

But the people who have lived here for generations have already adapted to various harsh environments and learned various survival skills that are completely unavailable elsewhere.

For example, the method of concealing one's breath and concealing one's body.

Whether you are hunting those ice foxes with keen senses, or you need to avoid the ferocious and brutal white bears, they can play a very good role.

Just like now, as soon as he discovered the danger, he controlled his energy and blood, restrained his aura, and hid his body. In this way, he temporarily escaped the sudden attack of the monster.

The companions who hunted with him were all dead and turned into blood food for the monster.

It even includes the Kalong Sacrifice.

That was a powerful person in the tribe who had been personally taught by the old priest and had achieved great success in martial arts.

However, now even he is dead.

In front of that monster, Priest Kalong couldn't even count the breaths before he was torn into pieces alive.

After licking up the pieces of meat scattered on the ice one by one, the monster did not leave. Instead, it raised its ferocious head covered with blood, its nostrils twitching constantly, as if searching for traces of the missed prey.

"You must survive so that you can go back and inform the old priest about this, so that the tribe can be prepared to deal with it in advance."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, staring at the messy ice in the distance.

In that place, blood was mixed with bone residue, spraying and splashing everywhere. It looked like purgatory on earth.

He tightened his grip on the harpoon, and the fingers inside his leather gloves turned white from the exertion.

As time passed, the middle-aged man's heart sank deeper and deeper.

And when the monster stopped and began to look over intently, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Bang!

The ground shook without warning.

The middle-aged man didn't even react before he felt a hot wind, with a strong smell of blood, blowing on the top of his head.

He subconsciously raised his head and met a pair of furious eyes.

Because of fear, the man couldn't breathe, and his consciousness went blank. He watched helplessly as the monster stretched out its ferocious claws and fell towards him like lightning.

Click! ! !

At this moment, without any warning, an ordinary-looking palm cut in, blocking the falling claws at the last moment.

The contrast between the two is so strong that it looks like a baby's hand catching the roaring paw of a huge bear.

However, the monster's claw failed to land.

It was even moved outwards gently and deftly, and then pressed down.

Boom!

The solid ice shook violently.

In an instant, dense cracks appeared, centered on the middle-aged man's position, and spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web.

Then a shrill howl came from the monster's mouth.

But at the next moment, there was another crackling sound.

Blood gushes out like a fountain, flowing all over the place.

Bang!

The middle-aged man's eyes were dull, looking at the monster head that was casually thrown in front of him, and for a moment he felt like he was dreaming.

But the monster's head was so lifelike that even the smell of blood filled his mouth and nose, forcing him to believe that all of this was real and not a dream.

"Do you know the name of this ugly thing?"

A calm male voice sounded.

The middle-aged man looked up blankly and saw a young man standing in front of him, looking down with a gentle smile on his face.

"Also, if I want to find Bingpo Ling Island, how can I get there from here?"

"Originally, I had a female guide who didn't talk much. Unfortunately, she might have other things to do and left without saying a word, leaving me alone here to search randomly."

The calm and indifferent man's voice sounded again, this time slightly raising the volume.

The middle-aged man suddenly came to his senses, and regardless of the smelly blood spreading over him, he knelt down on the ground.

"Returning to the master, this is the first time Xiaonu has seen this kind of monster. He doesn't know its origin. He has never heard of similar monsters appearing before.

As for the Ice Soul Island where the master is going, perhaps he can only give the master a satisfactory answer by returning to the tribe and asking the old priest. "

Wei Tao nodded slightly, and was about to continue asking, but suddenly fell silent.

He slowly turned around and his attention was attracted by the corpse of the monster on the ground.

The next moment, strands of crimson silk protruded from the fingertips of his left hand, penetrated through the break in the monster's neck, and quickly penetrated deep into the body that had not completely lost its vitality.

After some bloody research, Wei Tao's doubts that just arose were not solved, but became even more intense.

This thing is indeed a bit strange.

It is not an ordinary beast, nor is it a creature similar to the raccoon-like Ximu, nor is it a spiritual beast driven by a spiritual master.

If you have to give a definition.

In Wei Tao's view, it was once an ordinary snow leopard, but was eroded by some unknown mysterious power and turned into the ferocious and violent appearance it has now.

After dissecting the corpse and looking at the pieces of meat on the ground, mixed with various human organs, even Wei Tao, who was never picky about food, lost any desire to eat.

He wiped the blood on his hands on the monster's fur, let the middle-aged man lead the way, and walked together towards their tribal settlement.

The further forward, the more cold and desolate it becomes.

The middle-aged man's expression also became more serious.

In a short distance of only twenty or thirty miles, they were attacked by monsters three or four times.

Although he was easily solved by Wei Tao every time and became his delicious meal and dessert, he did not pose any threat from beginning to end.

But the monsters appeared so frequently, which made the middle-aged man extremely anxious. He didn't know whether the tribe was also attacked by monsters.

Soon after, the two stopped in front of several rows of scattered stone houses.

The middle-aged man looked at the cold corpse outside, and his already pale face suddenly became bloodless.

Wei Tao ignored him, went straight to the largest stone house, opened the door and went in.

The brazier inside was still not extinguished and gave off the stench of burning animal fat.

A man with white beard and hair and an old complexion lay beside him, his heartbeat and breathing completely gone.

In the corner of the room, there was a big dog with thick fur lying down, also losing all the breath of life.

Wei Tao looked around and found that there was another compartment in the stone house.

He immediately walked over and opened the door.

But he found that it seemed to be pulled by a force inside, and he couldn't pull it open at the first push.

Click!

The second time, the door shattered.

Wei Tao had no expression on his face and looked inside.

Through the remaining light of the brazier, he first saw a pair of eyes.

Under the dim firelight, they looked like two pools of turbid blood, emitting an eerie scarlet light.

The owner of the eyes is a woman who looks like she is about to die.

Her clothes were in rags, and there were wounds of all sizes all over her body, but no blood flowed outwards. Instead, strange golden flowers grew from inside the wounds from time to time.

What made Wei Tao even more curious was that the woman only had half of her face.

If you only look at the left cheek, you can definitely call her a gorgeous beauty. Her every smile can attract the attention of most men.

But if you look slightly to the right, you can see that there is no shame there.

There wasn't even much flesh and blood, and the white skull could be clearly seen, and even the thick gray liquid could be vaguely seen, squirming under the light of the fire. It was not known whether it was her brain or some other strange thing.

Even if you turn off the lights, blow out the wax and cover yourself with a brocade quilt, it can still scare a man into causing problems.

Wei Tao frowned slightly and sighed quietly.

At this moment, a word suddenly appeared in his mind, red and pink skull, nothing more than that.

"who are you?"

Without waiting for the other party's answer, he asked again, "Does the killing in this settlement have anything to do with you?"

"I was seriously injured in an ambush. After being seriously injured, I ran for my life and found this place to take shelter from the snow."

"And when I came here, everyone here was already dead and had nothing to do with me."

The woman's voice was surprisingly pleasant, like the cry of an oriole or the tinkling of spring water. It formed an extremely sharp contrast with the eerie half-faced skeleton.

"Who is ambushing you?" Wei Tao asked again.

"That was an extremely terrifying woman. I was no match for her, yet she caught me off guard with a sneak attack. If I hadn't consumed the only thing that saved my life right away, maybe I would have been able to survive." There is no escape from her grasp.”

She sighed, with a wry smile on her face, "And before I met this woman, I had never seen or heard of the name Alchemist Fanyu before."

"Alchemist Fanyu, are you sure she is an alchemist, also called Fanyu?"

"She calls herself Alchemist Fanyu, and I don't know her, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Wei Tao frowned, and when he spoke again he was more solemn, "I would like to know now whether she came here in a distraction, or whether I came here in person."

"I was betrayed by a sect traitor and was attacked as soon as I arrived here, so I don't know what is going on with her,"

As the woman spoke, an inexplicable light suddenly flashed in her eyes, "You have met the female alchemist before, so you and she are from the same place?"

At this moment, the brazier outside was completely extinguished, and the entire stone house suddenly fell into darkness.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a loud explosion.

The majestic force suddenly exploded, instantly razing the entire two stone houses to the ground.

Wei Tao tore the surrounding golden petals, stood up slowly from the blazing flames, and looked at the broken stone slab a few steps away and the woman who had just stood up behind the stone slab.

The night is dark and the cold wind is howling.

The rolling ice and snow whined.

The entire settlement seemed to be isolated from the outside world for an instant, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"He actually stood still and withstood my fire and wood attack technique with his body."

She opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, then looked down at her left shoulder. There was a big hole there, and even her shoulder blade was on the verge of shattering.

She had just been slightly grazed by the fist, and half of her body was almost broken into pieces. This kind of wild and domineering physical strength simply exceeded her imagination.

"The spirit wood makes fire, and the fire takes advantage of the wind, which is quite interesting."

Wei Tao thought thoughtfully, "On the surface, it looks similar to the technique, but at its root, there are still quite a few differences."

He raised his head and sighed secretly, "Perhaps because you were seriously injured, the power of the long-awaited killing move is too low. Whether it is these golden petals like blades or the open flame that just exploded, they have no effect on me. A little bit of use.”

"If you can't come up with something new, it's all over."

After the words fell, Wei Tao took a step forward, tore through the wind and snow in an instant, came to her, and punched down again.

Boom!

A loud noise suddenly exploded, like thunder rolling across the ground.

The ice layer broke off, leaving a big hole in the ground.

Wei Tao frowned and looked up at the woman breathing heavily not far away, with a slightly confused look in his eyes.

The punch he was sure to win unexpectedly missed.

It seemed that something interfered with his perception, causing the final punch to deviate from the correct trajectory and not land where it should.

However, this method can only be used one at a time.

After he was on guard, it was simply impossible for him to interfere with his perception like that just now.

"If there are any weird tricks, you can use them all together, otherwise you will have no chance in the future."

Wei Tao slowly walked out of the pit, "Don't look at me like that. After all, you started the fight first, so it has nothing to do with you when it ends."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, a large amount of blood spilled out, "I didn't move at all just now. It was you who made the first move, and I was just passively defensive."

Wei Tao shook his head, "You looked at me very aggressively, and you even spread rumors and slandered me as a warlock, which deeply affected my weak heart, so it was only natural that I should counterattack."

After a pause, he continued, "Only by beating you to death can I heal my wounded heart and give me true fairness and justice."

"I surrender."

The woman slowly knelt down on the ground, pressed her forehead against the cold ice, and repeated it again.

"Everything you say is right, I can only surrender and beg for your forgiveness..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes were surprised, frightened, and a little confused.

"Here she comes!"

The woman screamed.

The whole person seemed to be going crazy at this moment.

Almost at the same time, Wei Tao frowned suddenly and turned his head to look into the depths of the wind and snow.

Click!

The ground suddenly cracked underfoot.

He crushed a large piece of ice with his foot, and with the help of the huge force of the shock, his whole body was like an unloaded cannonball, rushing in the opposite direction like lightning.

Right now.

The ear-piercing scream that seemed to exist, but also seemed not to exist, sounded directly in Wei Tao's ears.

There was also a strong sense of threat that suddenly rose in his heart.

He wanted to turn his head and look back, but found that the air around him suddenly became thick and viscous, and everything seemed to sink into the depths of an invisible swamp.

Even the wind and snow were fixed in mid-air, like white flying insects tightly wrapped in sticky glue, unable to move.

boom!

Wei Tao took another step and stepped heavily on the ice.

The movement that was originally as fast as thunder seemed to have turned into slow motion at this moment.

The whole person seems to be trapped with countless ropes, and as if he is in the deep sea. Every move is under tremendous pressure, and it requires an explosion of stronger strength to overcome it with difficulty.

In the distance behind him, a bright blue-red light rose up.

It contains extremely rich and pure wood fire power, which bursts out without reservation at this moment.

This is the layer of defense that the woman with only half her face has put up for herself.

Buzz!

The weird and terrifying scream came again.

However, when Wei Tao looked carefully, he seemed to hear nothing.

But the next moment.

His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.

Looking at a stone house covered with ice and snow a few feet away, it began to collapse and disintegrate amidst the screams, turning into countless tiny fragments, slowly sliding down at an alarmingly slow speed.

Click!

Click, click, click!

The ice underfoot also cracked intensively at this time, revealing dark gaps.

Everything around him was shattering and disintegrating.

Only the small area where he was located was calm from beginning to end, as if nothing happened.

In addition, the seriously injured and dying woman did not seem to be affected by this strange attack that seemed to be cut and separated by countless threads.

However, the green-red light that shone from her body had been extinguished. It seemed that her whole body could not bear the huge pressure. She flattened her body bit by bit and lay down in a safe area specially set aside for her.

This weird and weird feeling of oppression.

It was as if all perceptions were disrupted, making it impossible to accurately detect the source of the attack.

Even the mind was covered with a layer of haze, no longer as clear and transparent as before.

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Since the battle with Emperor Wu in Mianlong Town, his calm state of mind has once again become unstable.

The thoughts in his mind flashed, and black scales with cloud patterns appeared on Wei Tao's body, and his body began to expand and grow.

But at the next moment, he took the initiative to stop all changes.

"Spell, Zhuri."

Quietly, as if a breeze was blowing.

Suddenly, orange flames rose, and the blazing heat wave emptied, and began to release and spread outwards from the center of its body.

If what that woman said is true, then it is basically certain that Alchemist Fanyu has arrived nearby.

Then, before finding the location of her true body, Wei Tao was not willing to reveal all his trump cards.

Therefore, using magic to fight magic has become his most suitable choice now.

The orange flames burned quietly, continuously dissipating the heat outwards.

Suddenly there was a soft click.

There was no warning in the depths of Wei Tao's consciousness.

The hazy world in his eyes suddenly became a little different at this time.

Wei Tao's heart moved and he looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds.

There, I don't know when a bright full moon appeared, and it was shedding a faint silver glow.

"No, no, this is not a real moon."

"And these hazy silver glows are definitely not real moonlight."

He held his breath and concentrated, watched the gods and spirits, used the red lotus karma fire with all his strength, and used the sun chasing technique to disturb the surrounding environment, and finally vaguely saw the secret hidden in the silver moonlight.

It is indeed not a moon, but a silver disk suspended in the sky.

The faint silver glow is not the real moonlight, but the light projected from the disk.

What's more important is that with the disc as the center, a large area is shrouded in a looming, flickering gauze mist. This may be the source of the pressure on the body.

Also, in this gauze mist, there are extremely fine translucent silk threads hidden.

They float back and forth, as if weaving into a large and tight net. Wherever they cover, they will cut and separate those places, causing them to collapse and fall into pieces.

"This is the Taoist magic performed by the alchemist."

"It is indeed stronger than expected."

Wei Tao gently exhaled a breath of orange flames, took another step forward, and came into the gauze mist.

Then he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the silver thread closest to him.

He was a little curious and wanted to know who could be better at the cutting and separation of the above-mentioned priests with this hand that had reached the state of chaos.

A slight tingling sensation comes from the body surface.

Wei Tao ignored it and suddenly pulled it down.

Click!

Another faint crisp crackling sound resounded between heaven and earth.

The tight and tight net is broken.

And at the same time, a pair of eyes as bright as stars appeared in the night sky.

Curious eyes penetrated the barriers and fell on Wei Tao.

Click!

Click, click, click!

There was another series of crisp sounds.

A big hole was opened in the silver net.

But he had no idea of ​​breathing a sigh of relief. Instead, he emerged from the hole like lightning and left towards the distance without looking back.

A soft cry of surprise sounded quietly.

Just after running a distance of more than ten feet, Wei Tao suddenly stopped motionless.

At this moment, an indescribable throbbing arose from the bottom of his heart without any warning.

There is no need to think, and in fact there is no time to think.

There is no time to hesitate.

Under the tug of this sudden throbbing, Wei Tao suddenly stamped his feet and turned around, forming the Emperor's Seal with his hands, then turned the Hunyuan Hammer and punched back violently.

The technique has already been activated first.

In the sudden heat wave, he felt that he saw a ray of moonlight.

This light seemed to be white as reflected by the silver moon, and as black as ink.

It seems to be free from the world, but it seems to be completely integrated into the vast wind and snow.

All kinds of strange and contradictory feelings came into his heart at the same time, giving him a sad feeling that it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and that he could not distinguish between reality and reality.

Just like when facing the newly resurrected emperor's corpse in Mianlong Town on the Nine Sacred Mountains, once Huangji Jingshi is used, he will definitely hit the target as long as he takes action, and he will definitely land wherever he wants. .

That light reaches its end.

The silver glow turned into golden light at this moment.

Wei Tao's pupils suddenly shrank.

A slender figure holding a moon disk was reflected inside, and he was clenching the other slender jade-like palm into a fist, pulling the Brahma Spiritual Intent, which seemed to be substantial, and slamming it down slowly and swiftly.

There is no way to avoid it, and there is nowhere to escape.

The only option is to take it hard.

If you can't take it on, there is only a dead end.

Boom!

A thunder suddenly exploded.

Two figures collided head-on without any fancy.

Incomparably violent power suddenly erupted.

The majestic shock wave spread in all directions, instantly shattering and melting large areas of ice, turning it into a huge pit full of cracks.

A little further away, the woman who had just sat up from the ground was blown up and flew up, rolling over ten feet in mid-air before falling to the ground with a thud.

Then it continued to slide far back, and finally stopped.

She struggled to raise her head and looked forward with dull eyes. She still couldn't believe her eyes.

The two men each punched each other, and just the aftermath of the collision could release such majestic power.

Not to mention she was injured now, even in her prime when she was unscathed, it was not easy to block such a punch.

Even a monk who is proficient in metal skills and has trained himself into copper tendons and iron bones may be smashed into a puddle of mud by this kind of punch.

She vomited blood, and her breath of life quickly fell away.

There is no intact part of the body, there are large or small wounds everywhere, dripping blood and open bones and flesh can be seen everywhere, all of which are the injuries caused by the impact just now.

Under the cover of night, an orange flame burned quietly.

It flickered on and off in the wind and snow, as if it would be completely extinguished the next moment, but it never went out.

In the orange flames, Wei Tao moved his legs forward and back, still maintaining a punching posture.

"This is the alchemist above the gods. She is also a martial arts master, and not a martial arts master in the general sense."

"Such majestic Qi and blood make me wonder if she is still a human being."

"What's even more surprising is that, like me, she has become a person favored by Brahma."

After a while, Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes and let out a faint sigh.

He saw a woman walking slowly with a silver moon in her hand, surrounded by wind and snow, spinning and flying, but not a single snowflake came within three feet.

She was wearing a complicated and gorgeous robe, looking like a mysterious goddess from the nine heavens descending to the world.

The two of them were ten steps apart, and their eyes were instantly separated.

Wei Tao remained silent, this was the first time he saw such distinctive eyes.

Her eyes, the left eye is pure white, the right eye is pure black without any color, and the vertical pupil in the middle of the eyebrow is a bright golden color, from which the spiritual spirit of Brahma is transmitted.

Black and white were intertwined, and golden light was flowing. The three were intertwined in one place, but they were distinct and reflected on his body at the same time.

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and his mood became peaceful and peaceful.

"Fan Yu Alchemist came to Beihuang in person, but I am unable to welcome him from afar, so I would like to ask Haihan."

He bowed slightly and saluted.

His tone of voice was very soft and calm when he spoke.

Like the last calm before the storm.
