I Can’t Be a Sword God

On the hanging island of the Chu family camp.

In the center of the crowd was a rather tall man, at least two heads taller than ordinary people. He was dressed in dark purple clothes and a thick black cloak, with broad eyebrows, a nose as high as a mountain, and deep-set eyes.

Surrounded by several famous generals from the Chu family, they sat on a big chair with carved beasts.

Standing behind the chair was a tall woman, also dressed in a black robe, with long black hair and a cold face.

Looking at the progress of the Qi family's cutting tree clothes, the woman leaned over slightly and said, "Young master, we may not be able to catch up with the Qi family's progress today."

"No problem."

Although the man's body is burly, but if you look carefully, there is actually a bit of youthful heroism in the resolute outline, and he should not be very old.

He waved his hand and said: "Qi Kexiu is a bit clever, this time he thought of an idea before me, and it's normal to be ahead of us. This secret realm will be open for a long time, so it's okay to let him win this day first."

When the man spoke, his eyes turned around, and there was a shadow of double pupils hidden. Wherever his eyes passed, there was a strong pressure.

"Heh." He smiled coldly at first, and then said in a deep and domineering voice: "As a sage with the surname Lu said, if you are fat first, you will not be fat, and if you become fat later, you will overwhelm Kang!"

"yes."

The woman behind him seemed to be intimidated by the vigor in his words, and she took a step back unconsciously before nodding her head in agreement.

Unlike the generation of the Qi family who have several candidates for successor, there are still many competitions within the family. The Chu family of this generation, from the day the child was born with a domineering body, it was determined that he would be the sole heir of the Chu family.

The last natural overlord that appeared in the world was the last owner of this secret realm, Chen Fuhuang.

The strength of the domineering body can be seen.

And the young man in front of him is the young master of the Chu family, who is also considered to be the most powerful existence in the seven families of this generation, Chu Xiangyu.

However.

Before he could finish his words, he heard a boom and explosion from the hanging island on the other side of the Qi family!

Chu Xiangyu cast his gaze over again, and saw that the Huaxu Wutong on that island was cut off by a flying fire meteor!

After a rumbling sound, that huge ancient sycamore tree actually fell down...

Seeing this, Chu Xiangyu also shrank his pupils, and let out a very domineering voice: "Hey——"

The eyes of the woman behind the chair lit up, "The phoenix tree of the Qi family is broken? Then the golden phoenix must be us!"

"This is a surprise..." Chu Xiangyu nodded.

While speaking, suddenly another ray of golden light spread out from the distant sky, and in a blink of an eye, there were thousands of rays of light.

"The Golden Phoenix is ​​here!" someone shouted.

The golden phoenix that fluttered out of the darkness was extremely huge, with its wings spread out enough to support a floating island. The giant tortoise, which carried thousands of people, couldn't help shrinking its head when it saw it.

No wonder it is afraid, compared with this big bird, it can only be regarded as a small turtle.

Each of the brilliant golden phoenix feathers seemed to sprinkle dazzling golden light, and the distant darkness was shattered in an instant, and with a little flapping of its wings, it flew to the tops of several suspended islands.

It seems to be looking for something...

But right now there aren't many options.

The rest of the floating islands are all empty, only the islands of the Qi and Chu families have people.

When its gem-like shining eyes swept across the treeless hanging island, it seemed to reveal a fleeting moment of confusion...

It's like a multiple-choice question with only two options, and one wrong answer is ruled out, so how to choose is obvious.

"Ho—"

The golden phoenix uttered a loud and clear cry, and immediately flew towards the hanging island of the Chu family.

However……

Just when it was about to take over the hanging island where the Chu family was located, another change occurred.

On the slightly empty island of the Qi family, suddenly another blue tree popped out.

As soon as this tree appeared, it instantly swept all the wood qi around it, forming a vortex of wood qi, growing crazily. But the most eye-catching thing about it is not how fast it grows, but the tree...

So handsome? !

Although it is very strange to use this adjective to describe a tree, the word popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

And...it is so accurate and appropriate to use it on this tree.

It seems that not only human beings can feel this kind of handsomeness... The golden phoenix in mid-air suddenly stopped.

Obviously, it is also the first time to see such a scene.

As the saying goes, without plane trees, the golden phoenix cannot be attracted.

There is an ancient bond between the Golden Phoenix Clan and Huaxu Wutong, which is almost like a blood contract.

But there is another saying that Qingmei is no match for the sky.

The moment he saw this tree, this golden phoenix suddenly felt that he was shaken.

What Huaxu Wutong, who has been with him for thousands of years, suddenly became so unworthy of mentioning.

After going through a long period of entanglement that lasted almost half a breath, this golden phoenix resolutely changed its flying direction.

Turned to the small island where the Qi family was located!

"Pfft." Chu Xiangyu frowned watching this scene happen, his expression was disillusioned, and he said in an extremely domineering voice: "I'm such a good guy..."

The woman behind her also shook her head in a daze, "This secret place is really strange."

"Chu Ci..."

Chu Xiangyu stood up abruptly, and ordered: "It seems that we still lost today, but we must find out, what is the origin of that... that handsome tree in the Qi family?"

"yes."

The woman named Chu Ci responded.

...

In fact, it's not just the people of the Chu family who are confused. Even people from the Qi family were confused, even Qi Kexiu who watched Li Chu turn into a tree.

Li Chu's idea is also very simple, just give it a try.

If I cut down your tree, I will turn into a tree and go to the top. Anyway, as long as there is enough wood energy, it can grow infinitely, and it is not impossible to take the place of the Huaxu sycamore tree.

However, Li Chu himself did not expect that the effect would be so good.

Seeing the tree it transformed into, the golden phoenix changed its path without hesitation...

Bang——

The golden phoenix flew under the hanging island, supported the small island on its back, and moved forward with it and the cultivators belonging to the Qi family on the island. The dense darkness gradually enveloped everyone on the island.

Li Chu also changed his body shape back, let out a long breath, and finally did not cause trouble.

On the opposite side, Qi Kexiu looked at Li Chu hesitantly, and asked, "Brother, who are you?"

Li Chuwen replied: "As I said before, I am just a little Taoist priest in Deyun Temple in the south of the Yangtze River."

Qi Kexiu was even more confused.

This Deyun Temple is not a well-known fairy gate, and... the name is strange, how can such a person appear?

The technique of transformation he used just now is clearly an immortal technique!

Forget about immortality, how can it have such power?

It's just... outrageous!

But there were so many outrageous places that he didn't even know where to ask again. Amid countless surprised eyes all around, Golden Phoenix entered the second world.

boom--

...

fire.

When Chen Huaji opened his eyes from the darkness, there was only a small cluster of jumping red flames in front of him, and the flames shrouded a small area with a radius of three to five feet.

"Old Du? Little Daoist Li? Where have you been?"

Not being able to see his own people, Chen Huaji suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and hurriedly shouted.

"Stop barking, they won't be able to hear you if you break your throat."

Another voice came from beside the fire.

Chen Huaji looked over again.

The fire was burning in a short tree stump. Besides him, there were four or five other people beside the stump, who were looking at each other at this moment. When their eyes met, they were both unfamiliar and apprehensive, obviously they didn't know each other.

The person who spoke just now was a middle-aged man dressed in Qi family clothes.

"I am a steward of Qi's parents' house, and I have entered this second world before, but I can tell you the rules here first."

The steward of the Qi family straightened his neck and glanced at the few people from the corner of his eyes.

"The first level in this secret realm is 'Golden Phoenix Reception', and the second level is 'Devil Slaying and Renewing Fire'. The darkness outside is full of monsters and ghosts, and there are many powerful evil spirits among them, which are quite dangerous." he said.

"Ah?" Suddenly someone panicked, "When the Qi family called us here, they never said we would die!"

"Don't worry." The Qi family steward turned his hands over his hands and said, "It happened too suddenly, so I didn't have time to explain it to you. But our Qi family has already explored the laws of this place before, and the evil spirits in the dark are most afraid of it." As long as this fire light does not leave the range of the fire light, it will not be attacked by any evil spirits."

"Huh..." Chen Huaji let out a long breath, "That's good."

"But this fire will go out eventually." The steward of the Qi family suddenly added.

"ah?"

"And the fuel to continue this fire is a kind of blood demon crystal that those evil spirits will drop after they die. Therefore... if you want to live in peace, you must hunt and kill evil spirits."

The face of the steward of the Qi family shone with fire, as if the weather was uncertain.

"As long as we can persist for twelve hours, once the time passes, those with strong fire will be led to the third secret realm. Others can also leave safely."

"Twelve hours..." Chen Huaji asked weakly, "Then how long can we last this fire?"

The steward of the Qi family said: "In less than an hour, it will gradually go out."

"What?" Chen Huaji immediately stroked his forehead with his hands.

But everyone here is a cultivator, and after knowing the specific rules, they are not so afraid.

"What are you afraid of?" Someone shouted: "Anyway, we came here to make a fortune, so instead of being timid, it's better to make the fire bigger and break into the third secret realm!"

"Well said." The steward of the Qi family smiled and said, "I don't know what realm you are in? We communicate with each other, and we will know the bottom line if we cooperate."

Immediately, everyone reported their realms to each other, and found that except for the steward of the Qi family who was in the early stage of dragon transformation, everyone else was only in the realm of gods.

After hearing this, the steward of the Qi family frowned, "With our strength... I'm afraid we can't hunt too many evil spirits. We should keep the fire and protect ourselves."

"Then how do you protect yourself?" Someone asked.

After a pause, he continued: "If many people enter the darkness together, it will inevitably attract more powerful evil spirits, which will be very difficult to deal with. The best way is to find one person to step into the darkness first to attract evil spirits, Xie Chong led to the fire, and we will attack together to kill Xie Chong."

"That's good." Chen Huaji readily agreed, "It's enough for one person to lure the evil spirits, and the rest can be kept in the firelight, which is much safer."

After he finished speaking, there was silence around him.

Chen Huaji asked again: "Then who will attract the evil spirits first?"

The air continued to be silent.

"Huh?" Chen Huaji blinked: "What are you all looking at me for?"

The manager of the Qi family said: "Your cultivation base is the lowest here, so naturally you should be the first to attract evil spirits."

"What's the reason..." Chen Huaji wanted to argue, but when he saw the ferocious faces on the opposite side, he immediately understood the reason.

Because no one with the lowest cultivation level can beat anyone, if you don't bully you, bully anyone...

After thinking for a while, he said again: "I am the Xuanyi Guard under the Chaotianque Gate, if there are any mistakes, you will all be responsible!"

"Huh? Chaotian Tower?"

"hehe……"

The people in the firelight looked at each other and sneered in unison.

Chen Huaji also flattened his mouth.

If it was in other parts of the Heluo Dynasty, how could it be possible for Chaotianque's disciples to be bullied like this? But in Tiannan Prefecture, Chaotian Tower is just a decoration, and naturally no one respects it.

In addition, if Daoist Li was still around, no one would dare to bully him like this.

The steward of the Qi family said coldly: "My lord Xuanyiwei, don't waste time. I'll give you time for a stick of incense. If you haven't figured it out yet, don't blame me for sending you out..."

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Chen Huaji shouted, then flicked his sleeves, stood up, and said in a sonorous tone: "I will go by myself!"

...

Li Chu also came to such a fire.

In the dense flames, there are four or five figures around.

Looking around, there are two young men of the same age on the opposite side. They look similar in clothing and color, and they seem to be disciples of some immortal sect.

They are obviously very happy to get together, such random rules can still be ranked in the same door.

On the left is a man with a sturdy figure and a scar. He is carrying this big knife on his back. There is a scar running through the left and right sides of his face, which is very frightening, making his appearance inevitably vicious.

On the right is a small girl whose facial features are somewhat exquisite against the background of the fire. At this time, she is blinking her big eyes rather uneasily, looking around.

However, when she saw Li Chu, her uneasiness suddenly dissipated.

In fact, it wasn't just her, the other three were also silent for a while when they saw Li Chu.

They were outside just now, but they saw with their own eyes that the little Taoist cut off the Huaxu sycamore tree with his sword, and transformed into a very handsome tree, attracting the golden phoenix.

This series of god-level operations is simply inhuman.

Others might not be able to remember his face clearly, but his face could not be mistaken even if it turned into ashes.

Seeing that several people were staring at him, Li Chu realized that he should break the silence, so he asked, "Do you know what's going on here?"

"I know!" A young man raised his hand obsequiously, "My master has friendship with the housekeeper of the Qi family, so he told us the laws of the second world before coming here."

Then, he roughly talked about the rules here, which was similar to what the manager of the Qi family said.

"In this way, if you want to protect yourself here, someone has to go out and lure the evil spirits..." The scarred face also said immediately.

There was a fierce light in his eyes.

After sweeping past the two young men from the same school, and then the little girl, no one dared to look at him.

Then, he swept over Li Chu again.

Then he quickly looked away, not daring to look at Li Chu at all.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Then the first one to attract Xie Chong must be... me."

"Eh?"

The rest of the people were a little surprised.

Li Chu asked, "Why?"

Scarface said: "Those young people have never experienced the dangers of the rivers and lakes, and the situation outside is not clear. It is better for someone to go out to find the way first."

Li Chudao: "It might be better if I go."

"You?" Dao Scar was startled, "But isn't your cultivation the strongest among us?"

"Is this a conflict?" Li Chu asked back.

"But..." Scarface was stopped by the question.

According to his experience in the rivers and lakes, in such a dangerous situation, the strongest person will inevitably push out those who are weaker than himself to explore the way, in order to preserve his own strength.

It's almost become a rule.

The reason why he took the initiative to apply to be the first to go out to attract evil spirits was because he was worried that if Li Chu opened his mouth, he would push out a few weaker young people, and maybe people would die in vain.

But when Li Chu asked this question, he obviously didn't think so. If he said it again, it would be bad if he was reminded...

After thinking about it, he still said: "I am the oldest here, so I should go in terms of seniority."

"How can we talk about these things at this time..." Li Chu shook his head and said, "The possibility of injury will be smaller if a stronger person is involved."

"Anyway, let me go..." Dao Scar's face was a bit embarrassing, but he still insisted.

"It's better for me to go." Li Chu didn't budge.

Scarface said: "If you don't let me go, you are looking down on me!"

Li Chudao: "That will also give me face..."

Scarface said: "At least let me go once, it's already here..."

Li Chudao: "Don't fight anymore, it's Chinese New Year..."

Scarface said: "How about together?"

"Huh?" Li Chu paused, nodded and said, "Alright."

The three young men next to me were stunned, for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of sight of paying the bill in a restaurant...

...

As he spoke, Li Chu walked out of the small area shrouded in flames together with Scarface.

Far away from the fire, it was full of thick darkness, and with Li Chu's eyesight, he could barely see a foot in front of him clearly. And cut off all spiritual consciousness and breath, it is completely impossible to predict what will emerge from it.

The two walked forward side by side, each step was quite cautious.

"Hey, brother, what's your name?" Scarface asked suddenly.

"Deyun Temple, Li Chu." Li Chu replied, and then asked, "What about you?"

"My name is Niu Sandao. I'm a swordsman who walks in the southern border. I don't have a teacher."

Li Chu agreed again.

Scarface smiled and said: "I think you are a good person. You have a strong cultivation base and don't bully others. You can achieve great things. If you practice hard, you can expect to decline."

Seeing that Li Chu could also enter this secret realm, he thought that his cultivation base was also below Zhanhuai.

While chatting with each other, Niu Sandao suddenly heard Niu Sandao yelling: "Be careful!"

It turned out that there was a flash of a shadow behind him, and suddenly a lightning-like shadow leaped out. It was completely invisible, and it came very quickly! Go straight to Li Chu!

In desperation, Niu Sandao had no time to dodge, so he mustered up all his strength and pushed Li Chu hard!

Boom!

He originally wanted to push Li Chu away from the blow, but unexpectedly, a huge force bounced back, Li Chu didn't move at all, and he was instantly lifted into the air...

Li Chu had already reacted before he exclaimed, the Chunyang sword in his right hand had already come out of his bag, and he slashed hard!

boom--

A red dragon covered its head and covered its face, and the flying black figure was swallowed up without even revealing its figure.

The red dragon flew tens of feet away, dispelling the darkness before dissipating. The surrounding darkness seemed to flow back like thick ink.

"Huh?"

Only then did Li Chu notice that Niu Sandao beside him was gone!

He called out, "Brother Niu, Brother Niu?"

"I...I'm here..." A vague voice came from dozens of meters away.

Li Chu walked over quickly, and found that Niu Sandao was lying on his back on the ground with his hands in a powerless posture, as if he had been seriously injured.

"Why are you injured?" Li Chu asked.

"Yeah..." Niu Sandao groaned, feeling a little puzzled.

"Why am I hurt..."
