Beiyin Great Sage

Barren mountains and ridges, inaccessible to people.

Dead trees, grass and vines, insects, ants, and miasma are mixed together, and mutated corpses that are difficult to remove are hidden inside, devouring living creatures that enter it.

In a place like this, there is a handsome young man in white clothes standing in the wind.

"Sir."

Su Jiuye came closer, raised his hands and asked:

"But we still want to go forward?"

"Yeah." Ji Ze nodded and pointed towards the dark canyon ahead:

"Where is that?"

"Back to you, sir." Su Jiuye's eyes changed slightly:

"That's the Poison Dragon Gorge. It's densely covered in miasma, the earth's energy is disordered, and there are many poisons. Almost no one goes deep into it."

"Really?" Ji Ze frowned, raised the jade plate in his hand, checked the position again, and said:

"Ji Xian's body should be inside."

"How could it be?" Su Jiuye looked stunned:

"Master Ji Xian died together with the Huntian bandit leader..."

"Who told you that we would die together?" Jize sneered:

"If I lose the enemy and I am killed, where will my body be dumped here?"

Although they were brothers of the same race and surname, he obviously lacked respect for Ji Xian and did not even hide his disdain in his words.

"Let's go!"

Long sleeves wave lightly:

"Go over and have a look."

"yes."

Su Jiuye took a deep breath and waved his hand to signal the people around him to follow.

Mr. Ji ordered them to go up even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire, and they had to protect each other, otherwise they would be derelict in their duties.

An hour later.

Thanks to the guidance of the object in Jize's hand, a tattered corpse was fished out of the mud, cleaned and placed on the shore.

"Mr. Xu!"

"yes."

The old man who had been standing by Jize's side stepped forward and carefully inspected the corpse on the ground.

The corpse was not only completely unrecognizable, the outer skin and flesh had been almost corroded away, leaving only bones in most places.

"It's not Mr. Ji Xian."

Mr. Xu shook his head gently:

"Looking at the bone statue, it is most likely that it is Zhang Bingzhong, the Huntian bandit. It seems that both of them have died."

"oh!"

Ji Ze raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, another voice came from not far away.

"There's another body here!"

"Wow..."

Along with the special fishing net, another body was fished out of the mud. After cleaning, it was placed side by side with the first body.

It can also be clearly seen from the bones that the height of the deceased was very different during his lifetime. Zhang Bingzhong had a broad frame, while Ji Xian was relatively thin.

"This is Mr. Ji Xian."

No need to give instructions, Mr. Xu had already stepped forward, checked and said:

"Both of them suffered heavy injuries during their lifetimes. There are obvious traces of the Huangsha Ten Thousand Miles Sword, as well as Zhang Bingzhong's Thousand Hands Spirit Technique."

"That means both sides will suffer and die together." Jize shook his head and sighed:

"This brother of mine is so reckless. He actually chose to fight one-on-one with the gangsters. Doesn't he understand that a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall?"

"Sir."

At this time, Mr. Xu raised his head with a solemn expression:

"I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to the damage caused by each other's skills, the two of them also have another kind of wound."

"Same injury!"

"Um?"

"Huh!"

There was a sound of surprise.

Jize also paused and expressed with his eyes:

"continue."

"Yes." Mr. Xu nodded and continued:

"The strong black iron man has hard skin and rough flesh, and bones as fine as gold. He can hardly be injured by a sword. Therefore, even if the place is densely covered with miasma and venom accumulates, it is still preserved to this day."

"But after so long, the flesh on the corpse has almost melted away, and not much can be seen anymore."

He took a step forward, stretched out his hand and lightly pointed at the body's neck, heart, waist and ribs, etc., and said:

"The attacks in these places were so intense and severe that they should be regarded as the final blow, and they were not caused by each other."

"Mr. Xu." Su Jiuye said:

"You mean that there was a third party at that time. That person killed Mr. Ji Xian and Zhang Bingzhong and then dumped their bodies here."

"good!"

Mr. Xu nodded:

"After the man committed the murder, in order to avoid being discovered, he abandoned the body here and used the poison barrier here to corrode the body.

"Are you sure?" Jize's eyes narrowed:

"The person who can kill Ji Xian and the bandit Zhang Bingzhong at the same time is undoubtedly a peak black iron expert. There are only a handful of people like this in the huge Red Sky Army!"

Moreover, every one of them is a famous person.

"He may not be such a master." Rong Yue's beautiful eyes flashed on the side and said:

"It's also possible that that person took advantage of Ji Xian and the others to hurt both sides, and then reaped the benefits. Didn't Mr. Xu say that they had injuries caused by each other's techniques."

"good."

Mr. Xu nodded:

"But no matter what, that person's cultivation is extremely impressive. If we meet him, I'm afraid... I won't be his match."

"Who is there?"

At this moment, a person roared and flew into the darkness.

Accompanied by a series of sounds of gold and iron clashing, a man dressed as a herb gatherer was captured by the Su family's guards.

"Master Ji!"

"Master Jiu."

The guard surrendered:

"This man is sneaking around and has a secret breath-condensing treasure on him. He must be hiding some secrets. He's just very stubborn and won't tell anyone until he kills him."

"snort!"

The herb collector snorted coldly:

"I just go into the mountains to collect herbs. I don't understand what you are talking about."

He is thin, his clothes are tattered, his skin is full of wrinkles, and his appearance is even more ordinary. He seems to be a real herbal collector.

But how can it be easy if the aura on the body can be hidden from so many people?

No one present would believe it.

"Collecting medicine?" Rong Yue chuckled, her beautiful eyes twinkling:

"I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. With an eighth-level cultivation, dressed like this, you look a bit like a wanderer on the outskirts of Hongze Territory."

"Come!"

She stepped forward and her voice was charming:

"Look into my eyes."

"you……"

As soon as the sound reached his ears, the herb gatherer's eyes were filled with confusion. He subconsciously looked up, his eyes met, and an invisible vortex swept through his heart.

His eyes instantly became dull.

"explain."

Rong Yue spoke slowly:

"Who are you and why are you hiding nearby?"

"I..." The herb collector looked stupid and murmured:

"I am the secret guard of the Blood Vine Tower. I follow the owner's instructions and patrol the area. If I find anyone suspicious, I will report it immediately."

"Bloodvine Tower?"

"Secret guard?"

Ji Ze looked at Su Jiuye with doubts in his eyes:

"Who is this again?"

"Go back to me, sir." Su Jiuye frowned:

"The Blood Vine Tower is a force hidden in Stone City. Its owner has a mysterious identity and good strength, but when it comes to killing these two..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Even Lei Batian is no match for the owner of the Blood Vine Building. How can he be the enemy of Ji Xian and Zhang Bingzhong?

If he really had such strength, he wouldn't have been oppressed by the Tianhu Gang for so many years.

"Yeah?"

Ji Ze put his chin in his hand, thoughtfully:

"No matter what, let's check it out and take the body back first."

"yes!"

*

*

*

On the calm water, there were no sudden waves, and a sense of solemnity spread silently.

Two figures stood on the water and looked at each other.

"Shameless talk!"

Su Gongquan's face gradually darkened:

"You alone dare to talk about wiping out Xiaolang Island and the Su family?"

"It's worthy!"

Before the words were finished, he appeared in front of Zhou Jia a hundred meters away, and the air rippled like water on the surface.

"Zheng!"

The sword sounded softly.

Su Gongquan, the top master in Shicheng, the contemporary head of the Su family, and a strong man in the late Black Iron stage, was the first to pull out the sword from his waist.

Maybe it was Zhou Jia's domineering attitude, or maybe it was the warning sign that came from nowhere in his heart that made him choose to take the lead and show no mercy when facing a junior.

The long sword was unsheathed, like a wave of flowing water, without any physical existence.

Han Ying Sword!

This sword is the symbol of the head of the Su family. The whole body is made of a piece of strange ice that will never melt. When placed in the sun, it is crystal clear and seems to be nothing, but it has the ability to freeze everything in the world.

Even a strong man of black iron will feel cold all over his body if he touches it, making it difficult to move. He will become the soul of the person holding this sword.

Combined with the Ice Soul Sword Technique, the power is doubled!

Su Gongquan was confident that even if Lei Batian was alive, he would never be able to survive ten breaths when facing him with all his strength.

"Bah..."

The sword blade cut through the void, crossed with the shield, and an ice-skating flower bloomed.

"boom!"

The sword energy roared, and a wave of water tens of meters long suddenly exploded on the river. Before the wave fell, it was frozen into ice crystals.

The power of the Su family's ice soul sword technique combined with the Han Ying sword is so terrifying.

Zhou Jia's Five Elements Tiangang, whose outward strength barely had any effect, was broken open by the sword energy, and the sword blade directly touched the surface of the shield.

"die!"

Su Gongquan's face was cold and solemn, and he trembled slightly with one hand. The transparent sword in his palm burst into thousands of cold rays, covering the entire area several feet in front of him.

The next moment.

Zhou Jia's left arm trembled, and the shield flew out from his hand, like a disk, carrying a huge force of ten thousand kilograms and hitting hard towards the cold light in the sky.

"boom!"

With a roar of energy, the two of them fell back at the same time.

The shield whirled and turned back, falling back into Zhou Jia's hands again.

Su Gongquan's expression remained unchanged, he held the sword in his hand and was about to attack again, but his eyebrows suddenly raised.

Looking down, he saw an undercurrent surging underwater, and streams of water seemed to come alive, entangled in his feet and legs.

Waterbending!

"boom!"

The void was agitated, and Zhou Jia's body in the distance turned into a flash of lightning, suddenly appearing in front of Su Gongquan, and the sharp ax light cut straight down.

Jin Lei is sharp!

The double-edged ax, which weighed several hundred kilograms, was as if it were nothing in his hand. It was as light as straw and was waving, but its sharp edge was chilling.

"snort!"

Su Gongquan snorted coldly, his feet trembled slightly, and the cold air surged. The water below was instantly frozen into ice crystals, and then burst into pieces to shoot the incoming figure above.

At the same time, the figure shook, and the man and sword merged into one, pointing obliquely at Zhou Jia's throat.

"Ding……"

"Peng!"

Thunder light bloomed, and the ice crystals in the sky shattered. Then they were pulled by an invisible force and crashed towards Su Gongquan's figure.

The ice crystals actually emitted rays of lightning inside.

The lightning is like water, traveling erratically.

Mine!

"boom!"

Thousands of mines exploded together, as if whirlpools were converging, and eventually turned into a huge whirlpool, accumulating the figures inside.

"Uh-huh!"

The figure broke free from the restraints, rushed out of the whirlpool, and flew straight into the air.

"good!"

Su Gongquan stood in the air and shouted in a low voice:

"The sky struck with five thunders. Turns out the five thunders have such a wonderful effect!"

"Take my move and freeze it for thousands of miles!"

The sword energy was flowing horizontally, the water surface was steeply covered with ice, and a chilling intent was pointed at the figures in the field. The extreme coldness almost froze Zhou Jia into a lump of ice.

"boom!"

A ball of fire bloomed in the field, and the high temperature caused the air to distort before the naked eye. The ice below also melted, and the fierceness rose against the trend.

Fire and thunder are cool!

Zhou Jia seemed to be on fire, breaking through the ice crystals, and rushed a hundred meters. Thunder light mixed with flames roared down, causing water columns to explode on the water surface.

"Ding ding... ding ding..."

The two of them staggered and collided, causing ice crystals and sparks to fly, accompanied by an explosion of force.

Mu Lei lives and breathes.

The earth mine is calm and heavy.

The five thunders changed and collided in the sky. The lightning flashes came and went, intersecting with the cold wind and ice crystals in the sky, causing chaos hundreds of meters around.

"Five thunders struck from heaven!"

Amidst the roar, Zhou Jia dodged and charged for more than ten feet, with thunder wrapped around his body. The ax was brilliant, and he slashed out a lightning beam that was tens of meters away.

The scornful ax light and sword energy intersect, and the strength escapes.

The five-color thunder light surged endlessly, without beginning or end, and without end, almost completely submerging Su Gongquan in it.

He had broken half of the five levels, and with the help of the Five Thunder Ax Techniques at the perfect level, he was able to compete with the top masters in Shicheng without falling behind.

"ah!"

"Ah!"

The roar tore through the sky.

A streak of ice crystals flew across the field, and the Han Ying Sword was swung wildly. The extreme cold air exploded, and even the violent lightning was frozen.

Su Gongquan's eyebrows rose, and the energy from his body surged out, turning into a whistling sword energy, suppressing the thunder in the sky.

"Ding……"

The tip of the sword collided with the shield.

The extreme cold air instantly spreads to the front shield and even pours into the left arm, trying to freeze the opponent to death.

No matter what.

Zhou Jia's left arm was implanted with the dragon bone of the royal family of Zhao. This object contained the essence of silver life and could not be invaded by mere cold air.

With a tremor of his arm, the blade of the sword slipped away.

After repeated collisions, Su Gongquan was used to it. He pressed Han Ying's sword downward lightly, and the blade drew an arc and stabbed his opponent's throat.

It was beyond his expectation that his opponent was so difficult.

Whether it is the round and round and indestructible defense, or the five-thunder transforming and endless ax technique, they are all amazing.

but……

"呲呲呲……"

The cold air bloomed, slowly but surely invading inward.

He couldn't break through the shield's defense, but every time he struck out with his sword, Zhou Jia's movement slowed down and his shield became heavier.

If one sword doesn't work, then ten swords, a hundred swords, a thousand swords...

There is always a sword that will be the last straw.

"boom!"

A figure hit the side of the water bank heavily, smashing out a large pit several feet long in the soft soil. Cold air surged inside, and the ground was instantly covered with ice crystals.

Zhou Jia stood in the middle of the pit, his body covered with frost, and even the ax and shield in his hand were wrapped in thick ice crystals.

His breath became even weaker.

"You are very good."

Su Gongquan landed lightly on the ground. When he spoke, he took the opportunity to calm down the restless breath in his body. He looked directly at Zhou Jia with solemn eyes:

"If I hadn't come in person today, I might not be able to do anything to you."

"With the strength of a mere mid-level black iron, you can actually compete with me for such a long time. Even if you lose, you are still proud of yourself."

"pity!"

He sighed softly and sighed:

"Lack of cultivation is your biggest shortcoming. There is no shortage of people with amazing talents in Shicheng, but no one has ever been able to challenge the majesty of the Su family and Xiaolang Island."

"You are overestimating your abilities."

"To tell you the truth, I only used eight points of my strength, not my full strength!"

"Really?" Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows, and the frost hanging on his eyebrows swayed slightly. His voice did not sound anxious or unwilling at all, and he said calmly:

"Eight points of force?"

"That's a shame."

"Huh?" Su Gongquan frowned:

"Even now, you're still not convinced?"

"That's it!"

He shook his head, not intending to continue to argue:

"I'll send you to hell right now!"

"Zheng..."

The sword groaned softly and clanked, and a flash of water-like sword light pierced the frozen forehead of Zhou Jia at an incredible speed.

"Ding……"

A shield appears in front of the blade.

Um?

Su Gongquan's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously feeling something bad.

The next moment.

"boom!"

An aura far beyond the middle stage of black iron emerged from Zhou Jia's body, his skin and flesh trembled, and wisps of white smoke emerged from his body.

Violence!

Five Elements Tiangang!

"boom!"

The strength of the left arm is comparable to breaking through the six levels. After adding violence, it can be compared with the eight levels of Shenhuang Jue. With a slight bump, it is like a mountain moving, and unparalleled power explodes.

A figure was knocked straight away for a hundred meters.

"Crack..."

Five-colored lightning flashes intertwined in the sky and crashed down towards the figure.

"boom!"

The frozen water surface was cracked with hideous cracks.
