Immortal Road

The map in the jade slip aroused Ishikawa's strong interest.

Ishikawa was originally an orphan in the mountains. Before entering Shuilingmen, the farthest he had been was a small town.

After Ishikawa entered Shuilingmen, he didn't go to many places, so he didn't know much about the Nanliang countries. Not to mention the places outside the Nanliang countries.

From this map, Ishikawa learned that the Nanliang countries were actually composed of the Nanliang Kingdom and several other affiliated countries.

These affiliated small countries were all uncivilized barbarians who occupied vast barren lands on the desert. The Nanliang Kingdom was surrounded by these barren lands, and these deserts occupied three-fifths of the area of ​​the Nanliang countries.

In this way, the area of ​​the Nanliang countries far exceeded that of other countries.

Therefore, if you want to go from the Nanliang Kingdom to the nearest country, it is more than ten times farther than the distance from Shuilingmen to Qingyunmen.

Ishikawa noticed that most of the more than 100 countries shown on this map were marked with the word "Huang". There were only two exceptions, one was Jingtian Country, which was marked with the word "Xuan", and the other was the Nanliang countries, which had no mark at all.

The meaning of "Huang" and "Xuan" was not explained on the map, and Ishikawa didn't understand it.

Ishikawa simply didn't think about it and focused his attention on the surroundings of Yuehua City.

The affiliated towns of Yuehua City were in a long strip, and the Wuling Gate was right behind Yuehua City.

Even if Ishikawa wanted to avoid Yuehua City and take a longer detour, he would have to pass through one-third of the affiliated towns.

Ishikawa wanted to fly to the Wuling Gate immediately, so he just tried to avoid it and didn't go too far.

In order not to attract the attention of other cultivators, Ishikawa released his spiritual sense and carefully searched for the surrounding cultivators. Once he found a foundation-building cultivator, Ishikawa immediately bypassed him. After seven or eight hours, Ishikawa had come to the right side of Yuehua City. As long as he passed through this densely populated town, Ishikawa would have walked two-thirds of the way.

Being so close to Yuehua City, Ishikawa did not dare to fly with his sword. If he was discovered by the foundation-building cultivators, he might get into trouble.

Ishikawa simply walked. With the increase of the wind boots and the speed gold talisman, Ishikawa's speed was not slow.

However, the talisman corresponding to the speed gold talisman was only the talisman of the Qi training period. If Ishikawa could learn the talisman technique of the foundation-building period and then make it into a gold talisman, the power would naturally double.

But after Ishikawa established his foundation, he left the valley without any rest. Along the way, he did not even have time to adjust his breath, let alone refine spiritual tools and practice exercises.

At this time, it was midnight, and Ishikawa took a big step forward, and he could take more than three feet in one step.

After a few dozen steps, a small forest was left behind by Ishikawa. Suddenly, Ishikawa had a sense of foreboding. In his consciousness, it seemed that several people were besieging from different directions at the same time.

The speed of these people's escape was extremely fast. Before Ishikawa could react, they were already less than a hundred feet away from Ishikawa.

For a cultivator in the foundation-building period, a distance of a hundred feet is only a matter of seconds. If the cultivation method is special, a distance of a hundred feet is enough to cause fatal damage to the opponent.

Ishikawa stood in place, his expression slightly changed.

There were four cultivators in four directions, and these people should all be cultivators in the early stage of foundation-building.

What made Ishikawa even more surprised was that there was also a cultivator in the air directly above, but the aura of this cultivator was very strange, and Ishikawa could not detect his cultivation.

Not long after, the four people slowly appeared in Ishikawa's field of vision.

As these four people slowly moved forward, Ishikawa did not move at all. In this case, it was difficult for Ishikawa to find a breakthrough. If he attacked first, he might be discovered by the opponent.

Ishikawa simply ignored the cultivator above, as long as he found a breakthrough among these four cultivators and broke through.

The four men almost simultaneously flew their flying swords, and rushed towards Ishikawa from four directions.

When Ishikawa saw the four flying swords, he was slightly stunned, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although the four men wore different Taoist robes, the flying swords they used were all blood red, exactly the same as the flying swords used by the monks of Qingyun Sect.

Ishikawa waved his hand, and the four earth walls rose from the ground. At the same time, Ishikawa's figure flashed and appeared in front of a monk in yellow Taoist robes.

"Boom" The earth wall collapsed under the combined attack.

And Ishikawa was less than five feet away from the monk in yellow robes.

The monk obviously didn't expect Ishikawa's escape speed to be so fast, and he didn't expect Ishikawa to rush towards him. In fact, he was the farthest away from Ishikawa among the four.

The reason why Ishikawa chose this person was because his cultivation was the weakest among the four. Ishikawa could see it from the way he manipulated the flying sword.

"Swish" a green flying sword, shining with silver light under the moonlight, shot straight at the yellow-robed monk.

The yellow-robed monk hurriedly threw out a flying sword to block.

The two swords collided, emitting dazzling sparks, and the yellow-robed monk spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale. Obviously, he suffered a lot in this hard fight.

Ishikawa waved his hand, and the Yunqing Sword hummed in the air and hit the yellow-robed monk again.

The yellow-robed monk hurriedly blocked again.

"Bang" The flying sword of the yellow-robed monk broke with a sound.

At this time, the other three people controlled the blood-red flying swords and flew not far behind Ishikawa.

Ishikawa did not stop at all, rose from the ground, and rushed towards the yellow-robed monk.

The yellow-robed monk was stunned. He had never expected that Ishikawa was actually running towards him. He couldn't help but feel a little more terrified: "Is this monk crazy? Want to fight to the death?"

Although Ishikawa had the advantage in the fight, if he rushed straight, the yellow-robed monk could completely wait for Ishikawa to tire himself out and cause him serious damage. This was also the reason why the yellow-robed monk was surprised.

How could he know that Ishikawa had a real shield protecting his body. The spiritual power accumulated on the real shield could completely withstand the attack of a foundation-building monk. More importantly, Ishikawa practiced the "Ancient God Body Refining Technique", and this technique can only play the greatest advantage in close combat.

The three blood-red flying swords whistled and came less than three feet away from Ishikawa's back.

And the monks who controlled the three flying swords also used all their spiritual power. They had discovered Ishikawa's flaws from his escape.

In fact, when four people besiege one person, the besieged person must have flaws everywhere.

As if he didn't see the three blood-red flying swords behind him, Ishikawa held the Yunqing Sword in his hand and fought with the yellow-robed monk.

One sword pierced Xuanji, and one sword pierced Tanzhong.

The yellow-robed monk showed a sneer on his face. This was clearly the swordsmanship of the secular world. It was actually used to deal with a foundation-building monk.

But after a moment, the yellow-robed monk could no longer laugh, and his face showed panic.

The secular swordsmanship used by Ishikawa actually carried spiritual power secretly. It seemed simple and ordinary, and it seemed that he could dodge it with a casual move.

But when he really tried to dodge, the yellow-robed monk discovered that the swordsmanship used by Ishikawa actually contained unfathomable Taoism.

"Fellow Taoists, save me" The yellow-robed monk didn't dare to think about how to hurt Ishikawa, let alone keep Ishikawa in the encirclement. His idea now was to escape.

Ishikawa's expressionless eyes left a trace of coldness deep in his heart.

The yellow-robed monk retreated more than three feet away, and even had no time to care about the blood-red flying sword, letting it fall to the ground.

The young monk in the air showed a sneer on his face: "Waste, if you die, you die." It is worth using a waste to exchange this person's life.

This person is Hao Deyou, a monk from Qingyun Sect. Seven or eight hours ago, he found out that the black-robed monk had died, so he summoned these foundation-building monks to track him.

Originally, it was thought that it would only take one or two hours to capture this person, but it took seven or eight hours, and it was with the help of this treasure in his hand that he found this person.

Hao Deyou's face showed a pale and grim smile: "Death, must die, otherwise I will be sorry for my blood and essence."

The monk who controlled the three flying swords, seeing that the blood-red flying sword was about to pierce Ishikawa, used all his spiritual power. Whoever killed this person first would be able to get his merit.

The merits of a foundation-building cultivator can at least be exchanged for a top-grade spiritual weapon. If they are lucky, they can also get some precious elixirs.

So the three of them put all their efforts into it.

But the blood-red flying sword was not their refining magic weapon, but was provided by Qingyun Sect. They just controlled it with their spiritual consciousness.

With similar spiritual consciousness, the three flying swords almost moved forward at the same pace.

What made the three angry was that Ishikawa's escape speed was extremely fast, but the three flying swords were faster. At this time, they were only more than ten feet away from Ishikawa. As long as there was another four or five breaths of time, they could stab Ishikawa. The Yunqing Sword controlled by Ishikawa was also very fast.

"Swoosh" Yunqing Sword flew towards the running yellow-robed cultivator and cut off four or five of his spiritual weapons in a row.

When he threw out another spiritual weapon, Yunqing Sword had bypassed this spiritual weapon and stabbed into his shoulder.

At the same time, a subtle black and red flashed at the tip of Yunqing Sword.

In an instant, the yellow-robed monk was wrapped in black and red flames. In less than five breaths, he and his soul that had just escaped were reduced to ashes.

The three people chasing behind showed horror on their faces. They estimated that the yellow-robed monk might be seriously injured, and even cursed the yellow-robed monk for running away. If the yellow-robed monk had not run away, their four flying swords would have taken Ishikawa's life long ago.

But they really didn't expect that the yellow-robed monk would die at the hands of Ishikawa.

Ishikawa's speed of escape did not decrease. With a stretch of his hand, the storage bag of the yellow-robed monk was taken into his hand.

At the same time, the three blood-red flying swords had reached Ishikawa's back.

A wonderful thing happened. The three blood-red flying swords disappeared. At the same time, Ishikawa's speed of escape almost doubled, and he left the sight of the four people in an instant.
