Seeking Immortality

In the sky, a group of Jiuhua elders and high-level demons were quietly watching the competition under their feet. Although the strength of the contestants under their feet was not worth mentioning in their eyes, the danger and intensity inside made them nervous. As No. 4 fell, a series of clear exhalations came one after another.

Especially for those Jiuhua elders who had taken the "Tianling Pill", the victory or defeat of this gambling game was closely related to their life and death, and they had no choice but to care.

And when they saw Xu Qingfan being shot by the poisonous sand, Li Xuhan and Xiao Huazhe couldn't help but move their bodies slightly, as if they wanted to rescue him. After all, Xu Qingfan had a deep relationship with them. For Li Xuhan, Xu Qingfan was the only person who had a friendship with him in the past forty years except Zhang Hualing, and for Xiao Huazhe, Xu Qingfan was his only nephew in this world.

But Zhang Xusheng, who had always seemed careless, seemed to take a step forward casually at this time, blocking the two people's way forward.

"Brother Li, where do you want to go?"

Zhang Xusheng looked at Li Xuhan and asked with a gentle smile.

Li Xuhan and Xiao Huazhe were slightly stunned, but they did not move again. After all, the result of this competition is related to the future of Jiuhua Mountain and Kuxiu Valley. If they intervene rashly, they don't know what Zhang Xusheng will say. If Zhang Xusheng withdraws the bet because of this, it may cause public outrage.

In fact, according to Li Xuhan's idea, he did not agree with this bet. First, like Zhang Hualing, he felt that the bet proposed by Zhang Xusheng might have other purposes and felt that it would be inappropriate to delay it for a long time. In his opinion, as long as Zhang Xusheng could be killed as soon as possible, any price would be worth it. Secondly, it was also because Li Xuhan did not think that with the strength of Xu Qingfan and the other three. Can really defeat Zhang Xusheng's men and let him win this bet. The three snake people are obviously Zhang Xusheng's high-level fighters. Even if their strength does not reach the realm of the Jindan period, it is probably not far away, and this bet is mostly losing.

But Li Xuhan finally agreed to Zhang Xusheng's proposal. First, he was lucky. He thought that if Xu Qingfan and others could win, then his Jiuhua lineage would not suffer a great loss in this catastrophe. Second, he took into account the thoughts of the deaf, dumb and blind venerable. He knew that the deaf, dumb and blind venerable needed this competition to let Zhang Xusheng take the initiative to say which cultivators in the Kuxiu Valley were following him.

And now. After all the Jiuhua elders knew the content of the bet, they could no longer stop the bet, otherwise it would chill the hearts of all the Jiuhua elders.

So at this time, although Li Xuhan and Xiao Huazhe were worried about Xu Qingfan's situation, they hesitated for a while, but still took back their steps. At this time, it can only be said that Xu Qingfan can only be sacrificed.

Looking at Xu Qingfan's gradually darkening face. Sighed slightly. Thinking of the scenes of his relationship with Xu Qingfan over the past decades, Li Xuhan apologized and silently thought: "Qingfan, don't blame me, I have to consider the whole situation. At this time, you can only rely on yourself."

And Zhang Hualing behind Li Xuhan was thinking much more simply at this time. At this moment, he was just thinking about why Zhang Xusheng set up this gambling game.

For him, although Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan, and Lu Qingshang are elite disciples of Jiuhua. But compared with the future of Jiuhua, they are insignificant. Moreover, although he values ​​Xu Qingfan very much, compared with Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang, geniuses who largely pin their hopes on the future of Jiuhua, Xu Qingfan's safety is indeed not too much of a concern for him.

So Zhang Hualing hesitated for a moment and asked Zhang Xusheng, "Uncle Zhang, we have both lost one person. So far, it seems to be a tie. But if it is still a tie in the end, how should we settle this bet?"

Zhang Xusheng smiled and said leisurely, "I created number four, so it is not easy for him to die. And I don't think Xu Qingfan is that easy to beat. The competition is far from over, so how can there be a tie? But the two of them are indeed unable to fight again. However, if it is still a tie in the end, then it will be considered that I lose."

At this point, Zhang Xusheng shook his head again. He said softly, "Number four is always so arrogant and underestimates the enemy. It's better to suffer a few more losses. If he still can't change this bad habit after this lesson, then there is no need for me to keep him."

Hearing Zhang Xusheng's previous words, everyone on the field was stunned at first. Obviously, they didn't understand what he meant, but their feelings about him became more and more unfathomable. After hearing Zhang Xusheng's words, everyone couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts. Obviously, for Zhang Xusheng, subordinates like No. 4 would be ruthlessly abandoned if he was dissatisfied, without mercy.

In front of Jiuhua Palace, after seeing No. 4 fall, the disciples watching cheered, but some were worried, obviously worried about how to deal with the remaining two snake people.

Although there were many Jiuhua disciples on the field at this time, few people could participate in this level of battle.

After a short relaxation, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang's expressions became solemn again, and they began to look at the other two snake guards on the opposite side. At the same time, they were also waiting for Xu Qingfan's next arrangement.

After experiencing so many twists and turns, although Jin Qinghan's strength was stronger than Xu Qingfan, and Lu Qingshang was Xu Qingfan's senior brother, the two had unconsciously become accustomed to obeying Xu Qingfan's arrangements, and Xu Qingfan rarely let them down.

But the strange thing is that in the face of the death of No. 4, except for the snake man with many ridges on his body who sighed slightly, the two snake men did not make any other expressions and just stared indifferently. The fallen body of No. 4 seemed to be waiting for something.

At this time, Xu Qingfan actually maintained the same appearance as when the battle just ended, his body did not move at all, as if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell.

At first, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang thought that Xu Qingfan was lamenting the death of No. 4, so they were obsessed with it. But after a long time, Xu Qingfan still didn't move. Finally realizing something was wrong, Jin Qinghan called out softly in a tentative voice: "Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Qingfan seemed to be slow to react at this time. It took him a long time to react and slowly turned to look at Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang.

After seeing Xu Qingfan's face, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang's bodies shook violently, and their hearts were filled with shock. They were so shocked that they were speechless for a while.

But Xu Qingfan's face looked different now, except for his brain. It was actually covered with black color. And these jet-black colors spread rapidly throughout the body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Several wounds on his cheeks began to rot and thicken. At a glance, Xu Qingfan's appearance at this time was even more terrifying than the demons under Zhang Xusheng.

Because No. 4 had used the sand barrier just now, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang did not notice No. 4 spit poisonous sand at Xu Qingfan.

"Senior Brother Xu!!"

Jin Qinghan finally reacted and rushed to Xu Qingfan's side in an instant, just as he was about to reach out to support Xu Qingfan. But Xu Qingfan shook his head slightly and moved his body slightly to avoid Jin Qinghan's stretched out hand.

"Senior Brother Xu?!"

Jin Qinghan became even more anxious when he saw Xu Qingfan's actions. His usually cold face was now distorted by concern. His concern for Xu Qingfan was evident.

finally. Xu Qingfan spoke, his voice hoarse and slightly slow, as if his mouthpiece was somewhat out of control.

"Junior Brother Jin, don't touch me. I am poisonous with the poisonous sand of the Xuansha Snake. Now the poison has spread to the whole body. As long as you come into contact, you will also be infected."

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan waved his arm in front of Jin Qinghan. Jin Qinghan was horrified to find that Xu Qingfan's arm was also covered in black.

At this time, Lu Qingshang also came to Xu Qingfan's side. He was also shocked when he heard Xu Qingfan's words. He hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his arms and said urgently to Xu Qingfan: "Junior Brother Xu. I have a secret antidote here. Take it quickly, it may be useful."

Xu Qingfan shook his head and said softly: "I have taken the medicine, and the toxicity cannot harm my life in a short period of time. You don't have to worry. It's just that with my current situation, I can't help you in a short time. The rest You should be more careful when dealing with those two snake men."

It turned out that the moment he felt he was hit by the poisonous sand, Xu Qingfan took out the antidote elixir obtained from Yaowang Valley and poured the entire bottle into his mouth without saying a word. It was luck. Gong dissolves the medicinal power.

But Xu Qingfan still didn't expect that the poisonous sand of Xuansha Snake was so toxic. In just a few breaths, the poison had already covered his whole body. Xu Qingfan could only focus on the power of the detoxifying elixir to protect himself. His brain can no longer care about anything else.

You must know that body poisoning can be cured, but if the brain is poisoned, even if the person is cured, he will become an idiot.

But for this reason, Xu Qingfan's whole body's spiritual energy was concentrated in his brain, and he did not dare to use any Taoist techniques at all, so he could not hope to fight the remaining two snake men in a short time.

Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang were about to say something when they heard a soft voice suddenly sound beside the three of them: "Uncle Xu, please go aside and safely exorcise the poison. There are two of us here to help Uncle Jin and Uncle Lu fend off the enemy." There won’t be any serious problems within a short period of time.”

Xu Qingfan and the other three people turned around to look, only to find that Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan had arrived beside the three of them at some unknown time, and they were also looking at Xu Qingfan with concern.

Seeing that it was Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang couldn't help but frown, obviously considering that these two people were direct disciples of Zhou Huahai. In fact, the reason why the two of them did not take action just now was because they were concerned about their own embarrassment in their status. Seeing that the situation was critical, they came forward to volunteer.

But Xu Qingfan believed in these two people. He knew the characters of these two people and would not betray Jiuhua at this time. Moreover, looking around the Jiuhua disciples, only these two people had the strength to compete with the two snakes. People fight each other. So he nodded and said, "Please."

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfan struggled to support his body, ignoring the worried eyes of Jin Qinghan and others, and walked slowly towards the back. It's just that the strength of the body seems to have been completely eroded by the poison, and even walking is extremely difficult. Due to the numbness of the body, it is impossible to maintain balance. As he walks, he staggers and almost falls several times.

When Jin Qinghan and others saw this, they knew that the situation in Xu Qingfan's body was not good. Although they were anxious, they were unable to help. They also knew that it was important to meet the enemy at this time, so they watched Xu Qingfan leave with concern. After that, the four of them turned around and looked solemnly. Looking at the two snake men in front of him, he quietly waited for the fierce battle to begin.

In fact, Xu Qingfan was also secretly worried about his own situation. Although he had protected his brain and prevented the poison from invading, he could no longer use the spiritual energy in his body, let alone expel the poison in his body. You know, once the poison lasts too long, the poison will penetrate into the bone marrow and can no longer be expelled.

In addition, Xu Qingfan was very worried about the safety of Jin Qinghan and others. The reason why he was able to defeat No. 4 just now was not only because of Xu Qingfan's strategy, but also because No. 4 underestimated the enemy and his luck. But even so, No. 4 fought the three of them to a draw, and even showed the upper hand during the period.

Now, although the remaining two snakemen didn't know why they hadn't made a move yet, they believed that once they made a move, they would never make the same mistake as No. 4. Although Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan were strong, they were probably of no use. At this time, he was unable to make a move, and he couldn't help but worry.

"Alas, it would be better if Junior Brother Feng was awake now."

Xu Qingfan sighed secretly.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground without hesitation and began to meditate.

At the same time, the snake man named No. 33 among the two snake men suddenly said in a cold voice: "What's wrong with No. 4? Is he still not well?"

As No. 33's voice fell, No. 4, who had originally fallen to the ground, trembled slightly, and then stood up with difficulty.

As he stood up slowly, the green scales on his body gradually fell off, and his appearance slowly returned to human form. When No. 4 stood up completely, his original snake-like features had completely disappeared, and he turned into an ordinary person.

And the appearance of this person was recognized by all the Jiuhua disciples on the field.

"Wang Qingjun!! It's you!! You are No. 4!!"

"Wang Qingjun!! You are still alive!!"

After seeing the appearance of No. 4 in human form, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang were shocked and said in unison.

Number Four's appearance at this moment was exactly that of Wang Qingjun, who had fought side by side with Xu Qingfan and others in Huandao! !
