Alienated Martial Arts

Under the dark night, Cangyuan City, which originally stood on the northern border of Qizhou, has disappeared.

Instead, there was a dense fog that persisted even in the violent wind and rain, completely covering the large area where the city was located.

Cangyuan Outer City, close to the long stone road of Wuyi Lane.

Wei Tao stood silently deep in the ruins.

His eyes were half open and half closed, as if he was searching for traces of the snake, but he also seemed to be wandering around, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Time passed little by little.

The foggy clouds began to surge abnormally.

A long shadow could be vaguely seen inside, coming and going suddenly without leaving any trace.

Wei Tao still didn't move or even react.

The whole person seemed to have turned into a sculpture, losing all the ability to move.

I don't know how long it took before he slowly opened his eyes and said behind him as if unintentionally, "Shopkeeper Shi, have you ever heard of the legend about the Jiwu Tang Snake?"

"Ji Wu Tang Snake?"

The owner of the wine shop cowered in the corner and did not dare to move. He thought for a moment before carefully responding, "Replying to Daozi, I have never heard of these four words. Even the wealthy people in the inner city who are more knowledgeable have no idea." ”

Wei Tao nodded and continued talking to himself, "In the beginning, it was erosion that affected the true spirit, trying to create an illusion that would make me fall into a trap.

Later, I don’t know whether it was too weak or found that this method was useless, so it immediately changed its attack method and wanted to besiege me with the creatures affected by it..."

He thought slowly as he spoke, "If the so-called snake has only these two brushes, it will somewhat tarnish the evil reputation of the ancient Holy Spirit.

After all, as far as I know, snakes have been cultivating for thousands of years and become dragons. It is also said that snakes ride on clouds and mist and are one of the eight gods of the Qimen. Now it seems that they can only hide and mislead people with illusions. It really made me come here for fun, but I was disappointed. "

"Shopkeeper Shi, what are your opinions on my comments?"

"What Wei Daozi said is too profound, and the villain really can't understand it."

"Whether he really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, shopkeeper Shi should know in his heart."

Wei Tao sighed, "Actually, I didn't wake up until now. Since the entire Cangyuan City has been occupied by Tan snakes, during the period before I entered the city, Shopkeeper Shi, as an ordinary person, could only rely on himself." How can one person resist the oppression and erosion of the mist and clouds? "

The owner of the wine shop listened silently, and stood up straight from the ruins little by little. The original panic expression also disappeared. It was as if a mask was instantly put on his face, giving people a strange feeling of being aloof, indifferent and ruthless.

"As expected, it seems that my guess was not wrong. The real shopkeeper Shi has disappeared long ago. What is standing here now is just a puppet with the ability to act independently."

Wei Tao said as he slowly approached, "But you are very different from other half-human, half-snake guys. In addition to the ability to act independently, you also retain a considerable degree of intelligence and consciousness. At least when you are with I have been talking and communicating for so long without any obvious flaws.”

Uh-huh! ! !

Without any warning, Shopkeeper Shi disappeared before his eyes.

Wei Tao let out a sigh, inexplicably feeling that the scene that was happening seemed a bit familiar.

Several pictures flashed through the depths of his consciousness, and at this moment, he suddenly recovered some of his lost memories.

The clouds are surging and the mist is rising.

Shopkeeper Shi was hidden in the mist and clouds.

The whole person is looming, as if between illusion and reality.

It was like a flash of leap, like a ghost appearing on Wei Tao's side.

Then step forward in a semicircle with your feet.

The whole person was blurry and twisted like a long snake.

He moved his arms dexterously, and his fingertips were like whips being whipped rapidly, erupting into a scream that seemed to shatter the darkness and void.

Wei Tao looked a little dazed.

Facing the killing move that came silently, he still stood silent and motionless, as if he was recalling some unforgettable past event.

Snapped! ! !

At the last moment when his fingertips covered with fine snake scales dropped, he raised his arm as if by instinct.

Using the same method of throwing, a red line fist turned around and struck to meet Shopkeeper Shi's lightning-fast whip.

boom! ! !

The fist force surged into the depths of the clouds and mist.

But it came up unexpectedly.

At the same time, the screeching sound like exploding firecrackers disappeared.

Even Shopkeeper Shi, who suddenly appeared and took action, disappeared without warning.

The ruined wine shop suddenly fell into silence.

Only the sound of the whistling wind caused by the fist movement gradually faded away through the clouds and mist until it completely disappeared.

But at the next moment, shopkeeper Shi's figure appeared again.

The slightly rich body was weak and boneless, twisting like a snake, and another whip came quietly.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly a muffled thunder rolled through the void.

Wei Tao suddenly stepped on the ground, his red line fist advanced and the hammer tore through the night, dispelling the large clouds and mist, and without any accident, he hit the empty space again.

In the next period of time, shopkeeper Shi suddenly moved forward and backward, suddenly left and right, and the situation was unpredictable.

Wei Tao stood still like a rock, tearing apart the dark void with hammer blows.

There was not a single contact between the two sides from beginning to end, let alone a violent confrontation.

Only the violently turbulent clouds and the rumbling thunder that constantly exploded in it still showed that this duel was still going on.

Boom! ! !

I don’t know how much time passed.

There was another loud roar of thunder, suddenly exploding in the dense mist.

He even broke through a gap in the misty clouds, and could see the rainy sky above.

After a moment, the rumbling thunder disappeared, and the thick mist closed on its own as if it had spirituality and life, covering and shrouding the figure who was punching heavily inside.

It seems that the broken city that just appeared, and the warriors who broke the blockade in the city to reveal the truth, are just an illusion.

"Shopkeeper Shi's sudden sneak attack helped me recover some of my missing memories, as if I had gone back to a long time ago when I had an appointment with Senior Sister Xing Kui of Wuji Palace on the eve of the sect competition.

At that time, although I had many secret skills at my disposal, I could only deal with them with red line fists because I didn't want to expose them. Unlike now, I only have red lines of red training that I can use to fight against the enemy. "

Wei Tao withdrew his fist and did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Instead, he took a few steps back, lowered his head and stared at the trace left in front of him, and once again fell into thoughts and memories.

"Compared with the palm whip just now, I can even directly conclude that the Wuji Sanshou secretly taught by the sect Wuji Palace has so many flaws and flaws."

When Wei Tao said this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, "But if you think about it carefully, this comparison is quite appropriate.

Because the practice method created by the sages of Wuji Palace originally evolved through the interaction between heaven and man, and the realization and perception of the true meaning of the snake. Compared with the living snake itself, there is naturally an insurmountable difference. "

After another pause, he suddenly laughed, "But having said that, if the Wuji Sanshou just performed by Shopkeeper Shi were to be taken to the Wuji Palace, I am afraid it would not be suitable for these sect disciples to delve deeply into practice.

After all, although the true meaning of the genuine Tang She is good, if it can be successful only at the cost of losing one's own intelligence and abandoning one's own will, it doesn't make much sense when you think about it.

Especially for people like me who have been cut off from the past. Even if I want to pay the price to regain Wuji Sanshou, I have just tried several times and still can't get started. Such failures and setbacks make me full of depression. I have to eat something to get started. Relieve the hatred in your heart! "

boom! ! !

Before the voice fell, the clouds and mist suddenly surged and exploded.

The cold and cold spiritual power suddenly burst out, as if the essence rushed out from the depths of the mist.

It seemed that an invisible big wave was stirred up, and with a heart-stopping mental pressure, it came close to the two of them in an instant.

At this moment, the surrounding environment became inexplicably quiet, and even the howling wind and rain were completely isolated, without even a drop of water falling.

boom! ! !

Clouds and mist rolled in, and big waves rolled in.

Houses that had not completely collapsed were the first to bear the brunt of the impact and were instantly flattened.

Immediately afterwards, even large areas of ruins were crushed to pieces, and a huge deep pit collapsed downwards with the long stone road as the dividing line.

Only the position where Wei Tao stood remained motionless.

He stood in the center of the dividing line facing the impact.

The whole body erupted with blood-colored light that rejected everything.

It is like a tall and solid dam, firmly blocking the front of the surging waves.

Two completely different forces collided head-on, and in an instant they had clashed with each other countless times.

In addition to the confrontation of strength that crushes everything, this is the purest spiritual duel.

The winner will be victorious.

The loser will severely damage the true spirit, and even fall into the hell with one step.

And no matter what the final outcome is, this process is full of difficulties and dangers for both warring parties.

Any weakness may be met with the most violent blows, until the opponent's mental defense is broken, and then they will drive straight into wanton destruction.

The bloody light was gradually suppressed.

Wei Tao's seven orifices were filled with blood, and his energy, spirit, and mind could be seen with the naked eye becoming weak and declining.

Instead, the snake scales on the body became clearer and more obvious, even consuming blood lines faster and faster to strengthen itself.

But he still didn't take a step back, and his expression didn't even change at all.

He was firmly nailed to the long stone road from beginning to end, his eyes calmly staring at the depths of the violently turbulent fog, as if he was waiting for something quietly.

Time passed slowly, so slowly that it made people anxious.

Finally, a light flashed in Wei Tao's eyes.

The expression that had always been calm and indifferent also showed some enlightenment at this moment.

"I probably understand."

"This is what people have been looking for for thousands of times, and suddenly looking back, the snake is there in the dim light."

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, a smile that was almost self-deprecating suddenly appeared on his face.

"The snake is twisting and correcting itself, hiding in the mist and flowing clouds. I keep sensing and exploring its existence, but I never thought that the clouds and mist covering the city were transformed by the snake. In fact, I have always been in its presence. in vivo."

But at the next moment, with Wei Tao's position as the center, the scarlet blood line suddenly surged, like a huge wave that never ceased to flow. In an instant, it sank into the depths of the mist and clouds, almost covering the entire Cangyuan City.

"But you can't, at least you shouldn't let Shopkeeper Shi appear in front of me for a long time. If it weren't for his existence, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to discover the hidden connection between you, let alone the key points to finally break the situation."

There was also a low roar in the middle, and it exploded with the crimson blood line that spread wildly.

In the depths of the thick fog, Manager Shi's figure was like a ghost, constantly changing the landing point.

But as the scarlet blood lines became more and more, and the area occupied became larger and larger, the space left for him to move around began to shrink sharply.

Until he was blocked and confined in a small area, he could not dodge anymore.

At this time, the most intense confrontation suddenly began.

The battlefield was divided into two places.

With Wei Tao and Manager Shi as the center, the scarlet red line and the flowing clouds and mist annihilated and devoured each other, as if separating the entire Cangyuan City from the world and forming an independent riot space.

Time passed slowly.

The mist that enveloped Cangyuan City gradually transformed from the grayish-white color when it first appeared into a ball of scarlet blood mist.

The last wisp of flowing clouds and mist was finally swallowed by the blood-colored mist, and the violent rolling and surging calmed down. It began to move slowly westward, leaving the ruined Cangyuan City, and finally sank into the vast mountains under the dark rain curtain.

Wherever the blood mist passed, whether it was green plants or various animals, all the life breath was instantly sucked out, leaving only bare rocks still bathing in the storm.

In the center of the blood mist with the strongest scarlet color, Wei Tao meandered on the cliffs.

Covered by a white robe, the legs and the snake tail changed back and forth, and could not fix the final form.

Hiss hiss hiss...

The snake tongue kept drilling in and out of the mouth, and the fine scales on the cheeks became more and more obvious.

Wei Tao roared in a low voice, and dark red blood kept flowing out of the seven orifices, dripping down, and then was absorbed by the scarlet blood mist, and not a drop could really fall to the ground.

From the tip of his hair to his heels, from his internal organs to his body surface, there was unbearable pain everywhere.

But compared to the physical pain, the mental torture after swallowing and absorbing the snake was even more unbearable.

Wei Tao was confused and sober at times.

Sometimes he walked upright like a human, and sometimes he swam like a snake.

Swish!

The virtual status bar suddenly blurred.

Another gold coin disappeared.

He devoted himself to the practice of the red line.

The mysterious aura surged into his body, and a new round of changes and improvements followed.

In a daze, Wei Tao didn't know how many gold coins he had consumed. He only knew that as his practice progressed, the problems he faced were not solved, but became more and more serious.

Just like the cognitive impairment of schizophrenia, he even regarded himself more and more as a snake.

Unconsciously, he came to the familiar cave again, and subconsciously shook his snake tail and swam into it.

Blood mist filled the cave, quickly filling every inch of the dark space.

Deep in this dark and cold cave, Wei Tao suddenly felt a sense of peace.

He was finally able to calm down and think about what caused this situation.

He inexplicably recalled his experience of entering the Xuangan, and the pain he was suffering now seemed to be somewhat similar to the Xuangan.

Or to put it in a more accurate way, it should be a deeper level of complete Xuangan.

After all, the Xuangan realm of the disciples of the sect is just to understand and perceive various true meanings from the distant dark void.

He is now eating the body of the Teng Snake into his stomach, and there is naturally an immeasurable huge gap between the two.
