My world double door
Chapter 682: Spoils of War
The night, thick as ink, weighed heavily on the battlefield soaked in blood and murder.
Li Yang stood alone, the wind howled, and his torn clothes were wantonly rolled up, like a broken flag struggling in the wind.
Although he was powerful now, the group of strong men of the Xiao family were not so easy to deal with.
His breathing was heavy and rapid, and every breath was wrapped in gunpowder and suffocating fatigue. His clothes were tattered, and the cuts made by the sharp blades were crisscrossed. Blood mixed with sweat slowly slid down his scarred, bruised and scratched body, dripping on the land full of mud, stumps and broken armor, soaking up dark and shocking blood stains, blending with the surrounding silence, telling the cruelty of this battle.
Although he successfully defeated all his opponents, it was obvious that he also consumed a lot of energy.
Li Yang's eyes slowly swept around. The bodies of the Xiao family's strong men were lying everywhere, their limbs twisted beyond human form, and their deaths were extremely tragic. They were once the most feared existence on this land. Relying on the power of the Xiao family and their own high cultivation, they acted recklessly, but now, the breath of life has completely dissipated, leaving only cold and stiff bodies, becoming the silent witness of this cruel battle.
Li Yang dragged his heavy lead-filled steps and walked step by step towards the corpse closest to him. That was an elder of the Xiao family. When he was alive, his cultivation was unfathomable, his methods were sinister and ruthless, and he was also famous on this continent. Li Yang squatted down, and the muddy water instantly soaked his trouser legs. The coldness rushed up from the soles of his feet, but he was unaware of it at the moment. He fumbled in the elder's arms, his movements were a little anxious, and soon, he touched a hard, cold object. His hands trembled slightly, and he took it out. It turned out to be an ancient storage ring. The surface of the ring was engraved with complicated runes. Those runes seemed to have life, flashing mysterious light under the weak moonlight, as if telling unknown secrets.
Li Yang took a deep breath, calmed his slightly excited mood, and slowly injected a ray of spiritual power into it with his unique method that he had mastered after countless attempts and failures in the process of cultivation. In an instant, the space inside the ring unfolded in his sea of consciousness. It was a vast and mysterious world. It was filled with a wide variety of cultivation resources, and various rare spiritual herbs were placed in a staggered manner. Each plant exuded a rich and fresh fragrance. The fragrance contained a magnificent vitality, as if it could turn all the decay in the world into new life. Some of these spiritual herbs grow in dangerous places covered with snow all year round and in harsh environments. Some need to go through hundreds or even thousands of years of wind and rain, and the nourishment of the essence of the sun and the moon to mature. They are excellent materials that are indispensable for refining high-level elixirs. Li Yang's eyes flashed with a surprise that was difficult to conceal. He knew that if these spiritual herbs were used properly, they would not only help him quickly repair the meridians that were severely damaged and almost broken in this battle, but also provide him with a steady stream of surging spiritual power support on the long road of cultivation in the future, becoming the key to helping him break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
In a corner of the storage ring, a small jade bottle lay quietly. Li Yang picked it up gently, and his movements were so gentle that he seemed to be afraid of disturbing the treasure in the bottle. The moment he opened the bottle stopper, a rich and mellow fragrance of the elixir instantly spread, lingering around his nose, and cheered him up. He looked closely and found that there were five elixir pills in the bottle that were round and emitting colorful light. This is the legendary "Gathering Spirit Pill", each of which contains the purest spiritual power between heaven and earth. Taking one pill can gather the spiritual power of heaven and earth in a short time like swallowing seawater, greatly improving the practitioner's skill. For Li Yang, this is undoubtedly a timely help, and it is the sweet rain he most desires on this difficult road of cultivation. In the days to come, he can use these spirit-gathering pills to find a quiet place to practice in seclusion, break through the current bottleneck of cultivation that is as insurmountable as a copper wall and iron wall, and thus have stronger self-protection power and voice in this world where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon by the strong.
Continuing to search, Li Yang found another yellowed ancient book that exuded an old smell. On the cover of the ancient book, there were three vigorous and powerful characters that seemed to contain endless power - "Splitting Sky Art". His heart suddenly beat violently, as if it was about to break through his chest, and his hands trembled slightly as he opened the ancient book. As he read deeper, Li Yang's eyes gradually ignited with excitement and fiery flames, and the flames illuminated his bloodstained and tired face. This "Splitting Sky Art" is a top-level cultivation method, and its cultivation method is extremely unique, completely different from the cultivation methods he had encountered before, and its power is even more amazing. Once successfully cultivated, the moves he performed could tear the void and shatter the space, with a power far exceeding that of the same-level techniques, enough to give him the power to turn the tide when facing a strong enemy. Li Yang knew very well that if he could use this technique for his own benefit, his strength would make a qualitative leap, from being an ant that was bullied by others to a giant dragon that soared into the sky.
Li Yang cast his eyes on another corpse. That was the leader of the younger generation of the Xiao family. Although he was young, he had already shown amazing talent in cultivation and was hailed as the future hope of the Xiao family. Li Yang found a sharp sword on his waist. The scabbard was inlaid with several cold gems that shone coldly in the dark, as if they were the gazes from hell. The hilt was engraved with exquisite dragon patterns, which were lifelike, as if telling of its extraordinary and proud. Li Yang gently drew out the sword, and the sword body flashed with cold light, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, and a crisp, deafening dragon roar was emitted, and the dragon roar was full of endless majesty and power. A cold and piercing sword energy rushed towards him, and the surrounding air seemed to be instantly frozen by the sword energy, turning into a thin layer of frost, flashing tiny lights under the moonlight. Li Yang waved the sword a few times, and felt that the sword was light and integrated with his arm. Every time he swung it, he could feel the powerful force contained in it, which seemed to be able to cut off everything in the world, which greatly increased his confidence. He knew that this sword would become his right-hand man in future battles, accompanying him on the bloody road of cultivation.
After looting these corpses, Li Yang found a hidden secret compartment in the corner of the battlefield. The secret compartment was shrouded by a powerful and mysterious restriction. The restriction emitted a faint blue light, and the patterns were as complex as the trajectory of stars in the sky. If it was touched rashly, it would most likely cause a powerful backlash, making him even worse than his serious injuries. Li Yang frowned and fell into a brief thought. After a moment, he took out a book from the storage ring that recorded various methods of breaking the restrictions. He studied it carefully, his eyes fixed on the words and patterns in the book, and compared it with the forbidden patterns on the secret compartment. He slowly mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and carefully cracked the ban according to the method recorded in the book. The spiritual power flowed slowly in his meridians, and each flow was accompanied by a sharp pain. After all, he had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and his meridians were seriously damaged, but he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and always focused on breaking the ban.
As time passed, Li Yang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face became paler and paler, like a piece of white paper, but his eyes were extremely firm, as if burning with a flame that would never go out. Finally, with a slight "click", the ban was successfully cracked. The secret compartment slowly opened, and a strong, dazzling light shot out from it, illuminating the surrounding darkness. Li Yang looked closely and saw a fist-sized crystal placed in the secret compartment. The crystal is crystal clear, like a clear spring, with endless energy fluctuations inside. The fluctuations are like surging waves, one after another, which is the "spiritual crystal" that practitioners dream of. The energy purity of this spiritual crystal is extremely high, equivalent to several times that of ordinary spiritual crystals. It is a rare treasure that can only be encountered but not sought. Li Yang held the spiritual crystal in his hand, feeling the surging and hot energy in it, and an indescribable joy and satisfaction surged in his heart. This spiritual crystal will become a great help in his cultivation, providing a solid and strong energy guarantee for every breakthrough of his, bringing him one step closer to his goal.
Li Yang carefully sorted out all the gains and carefully put them into his storage ring. He looked at this messy and scarred battlefield and knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time.
"As a large family that has stood to this day, the death of two consecutive groups of strong men here will inevitably cause an uproar in the Xiao family. For safety reasons, it is better to leave as soon as possible."
Li Yang took a deep breath, turned slowly, and fled quickly into the distance.
He is in a bad state now and urgently needs to find a place to recover.
At the same time, he also studies the gains from the corpses of these Xiao family strongmen to see if he can make his strength go further.
From the Martial King to the Martial Saint is a huge threshold, which is particularly obvious after he has reached the peak of the Martial King. It is no wonder that the Xiao family has so many resources, but has not yet produced a Martial Saint.
And what he has now is far from enough for him to break through to the Martial Saint, but it can enrich his means.
Talking about two ends.
On this side, Li Yang is quickly looking for a place to treat his injuries, while on the other side, the Xiao family has also set off an uproar.
At dawn, the weak morning light struggled to penetrate the heavy clouds and sprinkled on the majestic and solemn buildings of the Xiao Mansion. It should be the beginning of a new day, but at this moment, the Xiao Mansion is shrouded in a layer of haze, which is so depressing that it makes people breathless.
In the meeting hall of the Xiao Mansion, the atmosphere is so solemn that it seems that water can be squeezed out. In the main seat of the hall, Xiao Zhantian, the current head of the Xiao family, sat upright. His face was stern, and the traces of time on his face were more and more obvious at this moment. His deep eyes revealed his innate majesty and inviolability. On both sides stood the elders of the Xiao family. They all looked solemn. The high spirits they usually had had disappeared, replaced by faces full of anxiety and uneasiness.
At this moment, the door of the meeting hall was knocked open with a "bang", and a guard rushed in in a panic, staggering and almost falling to the ground. His face was full of fear, and sweat kept rolling down his forehead, wetting the clothes on his chest. Before he could stand firmly, he knelt on the ground with a "thump", and shouted in a trembling voice: "Head of the family, it's not good! The second batch of strong men sent out... were wiped out!"
This was like a bombshell, instantly setting off a storm in the hall. Xiao Zhantian stood up suddenly, slammed his hands on the table, and with a loud "bang", the solid mahogany table was slapped with several deep cracks. His eyes were instantly wide open, full of bloodshot, and he roared: "What did you say? Say it again!" The voice seemed to contain endless anger, shaking the entire hall, and the air around seemed to be ignited by this anger.
The guard was so scared that he trembled all over, his head almost touching the ground, and he stammered and repeated: "Master, the second batch of strong men...all died, none of them came back."
Xiao Zhantian felt that his eyes went dark and he almost lost his balance. The chair behind him was shaken by his strength and slid back several feet, and fell to the ground with a "clang". He could never have imagined that the second batch of strong men, who were carefully selected and powerful, would also suffer such a tragic defeat.
"What exactly is going on?" an elder asked angrily, with uncontrollable anger and confusion in his voice.
The guard trembled and replied: "According to... according to the spy who escaped and reported the news, they were completely wiped out in the battle with Li Yang. Li Yang's strength... is beyond imagination, and he seems to have been blessed by some mysterious power. Those strong men are not his opponents at all."
"Li Yang! Li Yang again!" Xiao Zhantian gritted his teeth and read the name, every word seemed to be squeezed out from his teeth, full of hatred. "This little ant has repeatedly provoked my Xiao family and killed two groups of strong men in my Xiao family. If I, Xiao Zhantian, don't cut him into pieces, how can I be worthy of my Xiao family's ancestors and how can I gain a foothold in this world!"
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!
Another elder frowned and said worriedly: "Master, Li Yang's strength has increased too much. In a short period of time, he was able to defeat two groups of our strong men in succession. I'm afraid there are other forces behind him."
"No matter what forces are behind him, my Xiao family is not afraid!" Xiao Zhantian waved his hand fiercely, his eyes revealing determination and ruthlessness. "Pass the order down, immediately summon all the elite disciples of the Xiao family, no matter where they are, they must rush back to the Xiao Mansion within three days. I will personally lead the army to flatten Li Yang's lair and grind him to ashes!"
"Master, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." An older elder stepped forward to dissuade him. "Two consecutive failures have already seriously damaged the vitality of my Xiao family. If we rashly send troops now and encounter another accident, my Xiao family may..."
"Plan in the long run? When will the plan be considered?" Xiao Zhantian's eyes widened with anger, interrupting the elder's words. "Do we have to wait for Li Yang to grow stronger and wait for him to come to the gate of our Xiao Mansion before we sit and wait for death?"
The elder sighed helplessly and said no more. He knew that the head of the family was already overwhelmed by anger at the moment. In this situation, it was difficult to calm him down no matter what he said.
Xiao Zhantian turned his head to look at the guard kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "Get up. Tell me everything you know about Li Yang in detail. If you hide anything, don't blame my Xiao family for being ruthless."
The guard stood up tremblingly and told him everything he knew about Li Yang's battle details, including the moves he used, the strength he showed, and the various performances during the battle.
As the guard told the story, Xiao Zhantian's face became more and more gloomy. His fists clenched tighter and tighter, and the blue veins on the back of his hands popped up, as if they would burst at any time. The other elders also looked solemn, and their brows twisted into the shape of a "chuan". They could never have imagined that Li Yang, who was once insignificant in their eyes, had now grown to such a terrifying level. (End of this chapter)
