Linghu An should be in his fifties, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fang Zheng would never have believed that the man in front of him was this age.

The skin is delicate, the eyes are bright, and although there are two strands of white hair on the temples, it seems more like they were intentional.

At first glance,

He looks like a handsome young man in his early twenties.

Only the demeanor on his body was not like that of a young man. He walked vigorously and majesticly, and wherever his eyes glanced, everyone lowered their heads subconsciously.

Even a third-blood warrior must huddle in a corner in front of him.

"My family... is unfortunate!"

Linghu An spoke, his voice hoarse and full of sadness:

"Grandma, child..."

"If I don't take this revenge, I will never be a human being!"

"Kachacha..."

The hard marble floor suddenly had many cracks, and the cracks formed a spider web shape, extending from Linghu An's feet to the door.

It’s more than ten meters long!

Fang Zheng's eyes shrank, feeling secretly frightened.

this……

Is this what human power is called?

How strong are warriors who have cultivated Zhenqi?

Overnight, all the women, children, and children in Linghu's family were almost slaughtered. Even though Linghu An had a calm temper, he lost control on the spot.

He glanced at the entire audience, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly:

"Thank you all for your help. Linghu An is very grateful. I will be rewarded in the future."

"I don't dare." Someone said:

"That's right, senior, there's no need to be polite."

"It's because we arrived too late, otherwise why would this have happened..."

"Yeah yeah!"

"..."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, and even Luo Baotou echoed with a few flattering words, obviously hoping to take the opportunity to build friendship.

"Brother Chen, I heard that you protected the two children of the Linghu family, which is very good."

Linghu An ignored everyone's flattery, and his eyes fell on one of them:

"What I said last year is accurate."

"Ah!" The middle-aged man surnamed Chen was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted:

"Thank you, Brother Linghu!"

"Gao ZY." Linghu An moved his eyes and said:

"The Gao family is adjacent to the Linghu family. Some minor misunderstandings were inevitable in the past. If you can help us regardless of the past grudges, our acquaintance will not be wasted."

"Let what happened in the past be in the past!"

"Thank you, thank you so much..." Gao ZY was shaking with excitement and nodded repeatedly:

"Senior, I, the Gao family, will always be on your side!"

"Um."

Linghu An's face was expressionless.

"Master Fang."

He actually recognized Fang Zheng and nodded:

"I heard from Daozhang Zhang that you need some Yuan Yang Dan."

"Yes." Fang Zheng's eyes lit up:

"It's a pity that the Yangyuan Pill is so rare, I don't know where to start."

"I have some here." Linghu An's eyes dimmed slightly, and his face finally looked like a man over fifty years old.

"The elders in the family are not in good health, so they prepared some Yuan Yang Pills to replenish their vitality, but it's a pity..."

"I'll have someone deliver some to Fang Mansion later."

"This..." Fang Zheng subconsciously wanted to ask how much it was, but then he realized that talking about money at this time would make the other person angry.

and.

Is the Linghu family short of money?

He nodded immediately and said:

"Thank you!"

"The duty of eradicating evil is over." Linghu An withdrew his gaze and said:

"It was because of my carelessness that I allowed the great enemy to escape, which brought disaster to the Linghu family today. You should remember this lesson."

"Yes Yes!"

"That's what senior said."

"..."

"Since you have already turned against my great enemy, you might as well take the opportunity to eliminate the trouble." Linghu An opened his eyes and said coldly:

"I know where he is hiding, and I can take action when I choose!"

"Master Fang?"

"Yes." Fang Zheng was shocked.

"There happens to be a Dharma protector next to Daozhang Zhang. You might as well follow him." Linghu An spoke slowly, his voice not rushed or slow.

"This..." Fang Zhan showed bitterness, raised his head and glanced at the other party, and could only nod helplessly:

"yes."

Unnamed mountain top.

Zhang Mingrui looked at him with a smile:

"Master Fang, you are here after all."

"snort!"

Fang Zheng hummed:

"The Linghu family is at least more generous than you. They directly gave you ten Yuan Yang Pills, and they also introduced you to a way to buy Yuan Yang Pills. If the Taoist Master had given you that much, I would have been willing to give it a try."

"Hehe..." Zhang Mingrui didn't expose him, stretched out his hand and patted the turf beside him, and said:

"Sit down and talk. This time Linghu's family suffered such a disaster, Linghu An was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He will definitely go all out for revenge."

"There may be danger, but it's definitely not great."

In particular, they are logistics mages who hardly need to take action unless they encounter certain special circumstances.

Fang Zheng also understood this truth, but he was still somewhat reluctant in his heart, so naturally he would not give Zhang Mingrui a good look.

"Tell me about it."

Sitting cross-legged, he asked:

"What kind of evil star has the Linghu family provoked?"

It’s already here, you have to know who your opponent is.

"Mr. Fang, have you ever heard of the Kangshan bandits?" Zhang Mingrui asked:

"More than ten years ago, there was a group of gangsters entrenched on Kangshan Mountain not far away. When Linghu An was successful in martial arts, he attacked them."

"Several members of the Linghu family, led by Linghu An, broke into the bandit gang and killed more than a hundred bandits. Only the third child of the Kangshan bandit escaped with his life."

"Kangshan bandit?" Fang Zheng said clearly:

"So, the third child is back for revenge?"

"Not bad." Zhang Mingrui nodded:

"That man was nicknamed Mountain Tiger. He was a peak third-blood warrior back then. After escaping, I don't know what he went through, but he has already cultivated his true energy."

"I also got entangled with some people who took over the mountain and became the king. They didn't forget to take revenge on the Linghu family even when they were robbing the family."

"Actually..."

He lowered his voice and said:

"The Linghu family's ancestor worship this time also has the meaning of luring the snake out of its hole. The martial arts masters are lying around waiting for the tiger to be caught."

"It's a pity, who knew they were not fooled and instead killed the Linghu family's old house."

He shook his head repeatedly as he spoke.

"What's the strength of Mountain Crossing Tiger?" Fang Zheng asked:

"How does it compare to the head of the Linghu family?"

"Definitely not as good as Linghu An." Zhang Mingrui waved his hand:

"The Linghu family has been practicing Zhenqi for more than ten years. They are among the top experts in Chunyang Palace. How can a mere bandit compare?"

"That's good." Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief:

"Besides the Mountain Tiger, what other opponents are worthy of note?"

"This..." Zhang Mingrui hesitated:

"I don't know for sure, but I heard that Chuanshanhu has several good players around him, all of whom are third-blood warriors. It's not easy to deal with him even if you think about it."

Three blood?

Fang Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.

But when I touched the package beside me, I felt relieved again.

He came prepared. Although the third-blood warrior was strong, he should have a good chance of winning with his preparation and trump cards.

Besides...

There is a high probability that such masters will not get their turn.

"correct."

After moving his body, Fang Zheng whispered:

"Taoist Priest, I would like to ask, what is the difference between true energy and mana?"

"If a mage who has cultivated magic power and a warrior who has cultivated true qi fight against each other, which side has a greater chance of winning?"

"Infuriating energy and mana?"

Zhang Mingrui's answer was beyond his expectation:

"The two are actually the same thing, they just have different names. As for fighting...how can a mage beat a martial artist?"

"Unless you prepare in advance and set up a spell."

"Wait a minute." Fang Zheng frowned:

"Qi and mana are the same thing?"

"Not bad." Zhang Mingrui sat up straight and said:

"Mana is formed when the power of the soul is strong enough to be combined with the essence in the body. True energy is formed when the essence is sufficient and combined with the soul."

"They are all transformed by spirit, energy, and spirit, so there is no essential difference."

"but……"

"The mana is more powerful than the soul, so it is more convenient to cast spells; the true energy is better at strengthening the body and blood, and it has an advantage against the enemy in close combat."

?

Fang Zheng was stunned for a long time before he understood.

This is equivalent to diesel and gasoline, which are both refined from crude oil. They are essentially the same, but their ingredients are slightly different.

In some cases, they can be used in combination.

"Doesn't that mean..."

He looked sideways and said:

"A martial artist can also cast spells?"

"Yes." Zhang Mingrui said matter-of-factly:

"Can't you also cast spells? Pindao is also a first-blood warrior. We can do this, and it will be the same after becoming a mage."

"Even the mage's martial arts skills may not be very good, and the martial artist most likely does not have that much energy to master and practice spells."

I see!

Fang Zheng suddenly realized that he had read too many novels, and certain concepts were so deeply ingrained that he forgot that there was something different here.

Law and martial arts are like arts and sciences. There is no saying that you cannot study both.

"Actually..."

Zhang Mingrui said in a leisurely voice:

"The most advanced methods involve both magic and martial arts, such as the Red Flame Sword Light Technique and the Red Sun Fire Dragon Talisman of my Chunyang Palace."

Fa Wu fellow practitioners?

Founder became interested:

"Taoist Priest might as well explain it in detail."

"There's nothing to say." Zhang Mingrui sighed:

"Only the true disciples of the Palace Master's lineage can practice this kind of method. I... can only watch."

"oh!"

"The Black Water Sword Technique of the Linghu family is this kind of method."

Black Water Sword Technique.

Fang Zheng looked at Linghu An in the distance, his eyes fell on the long sword similar to the Eight-sided Han Sword on his waist, and he was thoughtful.

Does One Word Clear Heart Slash also belong to this kind of method?

Um?

He just took a distant look, and Linghu An had a feeling and looked back with cold eyes.

"Don't look around."

Zhang Mingrui lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"Whether it is a mage or a warrior who has cultivated true energy, his perception is very keen, almost to the point where he can predict the way of sincerity."

"It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to make a surprise attack."

Fang Zheng hurriedly withdrew his gaze and did not dare to look further.

…………

"Master Fang."

Xu Xiu handed over the wine bottle:

"Try it, this is the Drunken Immortal Brew that my father bought specially from Fucheng."

"Thank you."

Fang Zheng chuckled and thanked him. After taking it, he didn't taste it directly. Instead, he poured it into the bowl and took a sip:

“Endless aftertaste, not bad!”

Xu Xiu is the son of Xu Seng, the master of the Divine Spear Hall. He is already a peak second-blood warrior at a young age, and his strength is no worse than Du Qiaoyun.

Compared to Xu Seng, who had always had a gloomy face, this young man was more active, and soon he got into heated fights with others.

"Young Master Fang is indeed of extraordinary origin."

Xu Xiu raised his eyebrows and took the wine bottle handed back:

"I heard that truly wealthy people will not use things that others have used when dining. It is really indecent to get them stained with saliva."

this……

Fang Zheng's expression stiffened slightly.

He really couldn't accept the gourd of wine that several people drank at each other's lips. It was enough for a beautiful woman to drink it. How could it be appropriate for a few grown men to take a sip from one of them?

It’s not like there’s no such condition.

At the moment I can only force a smile:

"So be it."

"Why!"

Xu Xiu was somewhat familiar with it. He sat cross-legged and took a sip of wine and said:

"In the past few years, the world has become more and more chaotic. Fortunately, the weather is good this year and the people have a good harvest. Otherwise, I don't know what troubles will happen."

"Yes." Zhang Mingrui nodded in agreement:

"The people have no worries about food and clothing, the Green Wolf Gang has been wiped out in one fell swoop, and I heard that the magistrate is going to be promoted."

"yes."

Xu Xiu shrugged, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and changed the subject:

"I don't understand the affairs of the imperial court. I just don't understand why evil cults are always inexhaustible. Taoist priest, can evil spells really deceive people's hearts?"

"Some can, but most can't." Zhang Mingrui said:

"Evil methods can deceive people's hearts, but those methods are also beyond the ordinary evil ways. Most of them are just small tricks with words."

"Speaking of confusing people's hearts..." Fang Zheng's eyes moved slightly and he asked:

"Will practicing some special martial arts also distort people's psyche?"

"This..." Zhang Mingrui was stunned:

"Probably not."

He still knew a little about magic, but he didn't know much about martial arts. Xu Xiu also looked confused.

"People's hearts are fickle, and it's not just martial arts that can distort one's mind." At some point, Linghu An appeared nearby with a few people and said:

"Reading can make people understand, but it also changes a person's character; hatred can make people angry, and it can also cloud reason."

"Some martial arts are indeed evil, but as long as the belief is strong enough, they can function without any hindrance. Only the weak will be affected."

"Senior said so!"

"Senior Linghu!"

"..."

The three of them stood up in a hurry.

"Taoist Master."

Linghu An nodded, took out something and handed it over:

"Could you please track down the owner of this thing?"

"yes."

Zhang Mingrui took over:

"Rong Pindao casts a spell."

There was a prepared altar in the field. He walked up with the still warm bag in his hand, picked up the mahogany sword, his face was condensed, and he murmured something:

"The great road is wonderful and has no form, and luck is high and true;"

"The void is born naturally, and the spiritual transformation represents the three gods."

The peach wood sword pierced the brocade bag, and a Qi-finding talisman was attached immediately after.

"The Niwan houses the soul of the camp, and the Zhongyuan holds the palace;"

"The Dantian Sanling Mansion, mixed with magical powers."

"Chong Yulong, get up!"

The fire on the altar ignited, and the Qi-Searching Talisman turned into a plume of smoke, circled around the altar, and then headed southwest.

"there."

Zhang Mingrui said:

"It's not too close, and it's not too far either."

"Chase!"

Linghu An's eyes narrowed:

"Get your weapons ready."

*

*

*

Fang Zheng carried the altar and flew through the mountains and forests.

The night was hazy.

There is a mountain road, or there is no mountain road at all. There are thorns, dead branches, and rotten leaves under your feet. You may be scratched if you are not careful.

Good thing.

Although the altar is large, it is not heavy.

He himself possesses extraordinary martial arts skills and can walk swiftly in the night forest. Sometimes he even has to wait for Zhang Mingrui.

"Something's wrong."

Glancing around, Fang Zheng whispered:

"Didn't it say that the big army goes first and we follow behind?"

"What happened now is that everyone else is scattered everywhere, and we are the only ones who keep rushing forward. Taoist priest, what do you want to say?"

"No." Zhang Mingrui made seals with his hands, stared at the looming green smoke in front of him, and said:

"Don't worry about it. As long as the head of the Linghu family is here, everything will be fine. Besides, a large force acting together will definitely alert the opponent."

"there!"

As he spoke, he used his body skills and rushed forward.

Fang Zheng had no choice but to follow quickly.

After a while.

Linghu An waved his hand, and the group stopped moving.

"arrive."

Looking at the bonfire in the ruined temple in the distance, Linghu An's eyes turned cold and he strode towards the target.

His steps were long and fast, but strangely, he made no sound at all, just like a moving ghost.

After a few flickers, it disappeared.

"Follow up!"

Monk Xu held a spear and followed closely with several people from the martial arts school.

Zhang Mingrui put away his spell and looked at Fang Zheng, both of whom could see the confusion in the other's eyes.

It went so well!

How could it be said that Huanshanhu was also a master of Zhenqi cultivation, and he had so many subordinates, so he was found by them so easily?

"never mind."

Fang Zheng pursed his lips:

"Don't think about it, you will know what happens when it passes."

"yes."

Zhang Mingrui had the same idea. Anyway, as long as he followed Linghu An, it wouldn't be too dangerous.

"call……"

At some point, a cold wind blew up in the mountains.

Linghu An, dressed in white mourning clothes, stood in front of the ruined temple with his hands folded. He waited for footsteps to be heard from behind, then walked towards the ruined temple.

"who?"

As soon as he made a move, a loud roar came from the ruined temple:

"roll!"

The next moment.

"Bala..."

A black sword light appeared on the spot.

The light of the sword was like a stroke of thick ink and color on an ink painting. Everything in its path was eclipsed, and the body of the man rushing towards the temple froze.

"puff!"

The body stagnant in the field seemed to have ignited the bomb placed inside, and the whole body exploded, with blood, foam, and flesh flying everywhere.

"clatter……"

Fangzheng's eyes narrowed, and his feet froze.

This scene is truly terrifying!

Linghu An was not killing people, but venting the anger in his heart, so he killed like this.

"Linghu'an!"

A roar came from the ruined temple. The sound was so loud that the fallen leaves on the earth trembled, and the ruined temple was also crumbling:

"You actually found this place?"

Through the firelight, one could see several people inside the temple. One of them was carrying a machete on his back and was glaring at himself.

"Tan Dong, the mountain-climbing tiger!"

Looking at the other party, Linghu An's voice was cold:

"Today, let me see if you can still have the luck you had back then!"

"Haha..." Huanshanhu laughed wildly:

"Old thief Linghu, have you seen the situation in your own family? When you led people into the villa, you didn't let the women and children go."

"Tan is just following the same example!"

"good!"

Linghu An's cheek twitched:

"Do it!"

After giving the order, the first person to take action was not the martial artist of the Linghu family, but a man behind the mountain-climbing tiger. The man stabbed the mountain-climbing tiger in the back of the neck with a dagger.

This person was a third-blood warrior, and he attacked suddenly. Even if the mountain-climbing tiger reacted quickly enough, he could only barely avoid the vital point.

"puff!"

The dagger was drawn along the shoulder to the waist.

"ah!"

Caught off guard, the mountain-climbing tiger roared angrily, its body full of vitality, and sent all the people around it flying away regardless of whether it was friend or foe.

"Zhang Kou!"

He turned around and glared at his attacker:

"How dare you betray me?"

"Hmph!" Zhang Kou snorted coldly, holding a dagger:

"People die for wealth and birds die for food. I will inevitably die sooner or later if I follow you. It is better to return to Linghu's family. I may not be able to make a rich man in the future."

"Just you?"

The mountain-climbing tiger's eyes widened and he suddenly pounced:

"Go to hell!"

"Senior Linghu." Zhang Kou was shocked, but he never thought that the Mountain Tiger could still move freely after being so seriously injured, so he couldn't help but said anxiously:

"help me!"

No matter what.

Linghu stood at the temple gate and watched helplessly as he was surrounded by Huanshanhu and several others. He was seriously injured in an instant and did not move from beginning to end.

"Why?"

Zhang Kou vomited blood and roared:

"You promised me..."

"I promised you." Linghu An looked gloomy:

"It's a pity that you are so useless. Only now has the news spread that all the members of my Linghu family died because of you."

"Even if the mountain tiger doesn't kill you, do you think I will let you go?"
