Seeking Immortality

But it was said that when several shocking battles in the Xisha Land were over, the moment the head and body of the "Purgatory Rod" merged together, on the far coast of the East China Sea, the mysterious Zhong Kui, the ancestor of the Zhong family, was originally... He closed his eyes slightly and preached to the children of the Zhong family. Halfway through his speech, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, the ancestor of the Zhong family was sitting cross-legged in a mortal mansion on the coast of the East China Sea. Two rows of children of the Zhong family were sitting cross-legged in front of him, quietly listening to the sermon of the ancestor of the Zhong family.

As for the original mortals inside, they have already been refined by the Zhong family disciples into zombies driven by them.

"Lao Si and the others...haven't they brought back that loser Zhong Ling yet?"

But the ancestor of the Zhong family suddenly asked after pondering for a moment.

Upon hearing the question from the ancestor of the Zhong family, a disciple of the Zhong family on the left hurriedly came out and replied: "Report to the ancestor, they have not come back yet."

"It's been half a year..."

The ancestor of the Zhong family's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking about at the moment.

After a moment, the ancestor of the Zhong family waved his hand slightly, and the disciples of the Zhong family in front of him hurriedly bowed and retreated.

After all the disciples of the Zhong family left, they saw that the ancestor of the Zhong family was in a trance for a while, and the next moment, he had disappeared into this mortal mansion.

The battle between the Fourteenth Grandmaster of the Righteous Alliance and Zhang Xusheng was earth-shattering. He had already sensed it, but he was unwilling to participate. But at this moment, the "Purgatory Rod" actually reappeared in the world, and his children and grandchildren were too helpless. However, the ancestor of the Zhong family decided to take action himself.

Although "Hong"'s body was used to refine a new "Purgatory Rod". But in the heart of the ancestor of the Zhong family. The real "Purgatory Rod" is still the one in Xu Qingfan's hand. Not only because the "Purgatory Rod" was made from his father's body and soul. It's even more because the "Purgatory Rod" is far more powerful than the one in his hand at the moment. After all, the ancestor of the Zhong family was stronger than "Hong" back then. And the amount of dead energy absorbed during this period is several times higher...

"It seems that the Shenzhouhao land is turbulent. The Zhong family will get involved in advance..."

before the figure disappears. A faint sigh from the ancestor of the Zhong family could be heard in the room.

other side. When Xu Qingfan carefully savored the feeling of approaching death. However, Zhang Xu Holy Land Nascent Soul carries his natal essence and blood. Fly quickly towards Xu Qingfan's location.

Although Zhang Xusheng was hit hard this time. But I already have a plan in mind. However, under the arrangement of heaven. He actually met Xu Qingfan in advance. It has to be said that Tian’s heart is unpredictable.

At first glance, Zhang Xu Holy Land Nascent Soul looks like a Zhang Xu Holy Land that has shrunk more than ten times. Although he has practiced countless evil methods. But Nascent Soul is glowing as white as jade. There is no evil spirit at all.

Outside the Nascent Soul, there is a ball of red light, which is Zhang Xusheng's natal essence and blood.

Although the body has been lost, only the Nascent Soul and essence and blood remain. But Zhang Xusheng escaped even faster. In order to avoid the demon, Xu Qingfan spent more than ten days covering the distance. Zhang Xusheng actually flew across the distance in less than a day. Not only did he avoid After being chased by Zizhen Immortal and others, the distance between them became wider and wider.

It’s just that he is on his way with his Nascent Soul. Although God. But it's too dangerous. After all, Nascent Soul itself is extremely fragile. It will collapse if you are not careful.

I saw Zhang Xusheng's Nascent Soul and his natal essence and blood flying dozens of miles away from Xu Qingfan's location, and his natal essence and blood turned into a thick blood mist. Wrapping up the Nascent Soul, the blood mist squirmed and gradually condensed together. After a moment, inexplicable and strange energy fluctuations came from the blood mist. Gradually, a figure began to appear in the blood mist. It was small at first. , the hands, feet, and facial features were missing, but as the blood mist became lighter and lighter, the figure became taller and taller, and its hands and feet gradually grew out. After the blood mist disappeared, Zhang Xusheng suddenly reappeared between heaven and earth.

It's not Nascent Soul, but Zhang Xusheng's real body, which is no different from before.

After someone else's body is destroyed, even if the life essence and blood are preserved, it will still take countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and it will take several years or even decades to restore the original body with the help of others. However, it is Zhang Xusheng after all. , to be able to reshape his life essence and blood into a new body so easily. After carefully looking at his reshaped body, Zhang Xusheng sighed silently after a long time, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "With all my wits, Zhang Xusheng, Zhang Xusheng, did you think that you would be like this?" A miserable day?"

Zhang Xusheng knew that although his body had been reshaped, it would take at least a hundred years to restore his original strength. The wronged souls and blood essence collected in his body for thousands of years were all consumed in this battle. At this moment, he still has The strength of the top grandmaster in the distraction period is no longer the same Zhang Xusheng who had endless magic power and immortality.

However, although Zhang Xusheng laughed at himself, there was no regret or resentment in his tone. He seemed to be more amused by his current state.

Either he is evil, he is egoistic, or he is careless and causes hatred and fear among all people, but there is no one in the world who can compare with such a free and easy attitude.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Xusheng waved his hand, and black light surrounded him. When the black light dissipated, there was already a black silk robe on the naked body, drifting along in the violent wind and sand of Xisha Land. The wind was swaying, which actually gave it a sense of comfort.

After all this is done, Zhang Xusheng will continue to escape into the distance.

However, when his body moved slightly, something seemed to suddenly appear. He let out a soft sigh and looked towards where Xu Qingfan was.

Zhang Xusheng did not see Xu Qingfan, but was curious as to why so many "dark crows" suddenly gathered there. No matter which direction he ran away from, he was still running away. Out of curiosity, Zhang Xusheng changed his direction, moved his body, and flew towards Xu Qingfan's location.

But Xu Qingfan was now with the help of Xiao Hei. He struggled to sit up from the ground. Put your hands on your knees. Quietly looking at the setting sun in the distance, the golden sunlight is shining down, and the desolate and dangerous Xisha land is so poignant and beautiful at the moment.

When facing death, no one can truly face it calmly. At least Xu Qingfan couldn't do it, but after experiencing the initial panic. Xu Qingfan's mood also calmed down.

It was truly peaceful as never before. At this moment when death was infinitely close, Xu Qingfan realized that along with his life, all the burdens he had carried during his lifetime were gone with him.

The revival of Jiuhua, the future battle of the Righteous Alliance, the comeback of the Shura clan and the situation of mankind, what happened to Jin Qinghan? When can Ting'er truly let go of her closed heart? Will Zhang Ningmei's unique physique affect her future? When will Bai Yu truly become sensible?

All of it, worry, anxiety. The pressure disappeared as death approached. Xu Qingfan's heart, which had been burdened for many years, was now more relaxed than ever before.

Or you are still worried, but there is nothing you can do about it. In that case, why not let it go? Everyone has their own path. Or without your own help. They'll still be fine.

Xu Qingfan comforted himself like this.

Savor the peace and tranquility in your heart, and feel your body gradually collapse and become cold. His eyes were quietly looking at the sunset that seemed to suddenly enlarge a lot in front of him, and he was calculating subconsciously. Whether the time of his death is before or after the sunset disappears on the horizon.

Xiao Hei looked a little sad. Following Xu Qingfan over the years, it seemed to have more human emotions.

At this moment, it clearly sensed that the vitality in Xu Qingfan's body was rapidly passing away and was gradually drying up. His skin gradually lost its luster and turned gray, and his eyes gradually lost their former luster. Although his face looked calm, under the collapse of his body, However, the seven orifices are constantly flowing with bright red blood, and there is a unique desolation in the calmness.

"Quack

Xiao Hei screamed, and that ugly crow-like cry was actually filled with such deep sadness at this moment.

"Old man, don't worry." Xu Qingfan turned his eyes away from the sunset in front of him and turned to look at Xiao Hei beside him, who was nestling next to Xu Qingfan. Xiao Hei was used to standing on Xu Qingfan's shoulders, and when he was unhappy, he would mess up Xu Qingfan's bun with his pecks, but at this moment, Xu Qingfan's shoulders couldn't even bear the strength of Xiao Hei.

Because of the blood pouring out of his mouth, Xu Qingfan's speech was a little unclear, but he still talked to himself regardless of whether Xiao Hei could understand or not.

"Over the years, you have helped me too much. How many times have you used your body to block attacks for me? I am useless as a master, and I always have to make you hurt for me. In fact, as a monster, you are already You should live freely between heaven and earth. I accepted you as my spiritual pet, but it restricted your freedom. Also, after you devoured Xiaojin’s flesh and blood, your connection with me was no longer as close as before, so you don’t need to accompany me. Dying, this is the only thing I feel happy about before I die..."

The tone was calm, with a hint of despair in the calmness.

"Old man, do you know? When a monster evolves to a heavenly level, it will develop the same consciousness as a human being. And you are not far from the heavenly level now. You are usually very spiritual, and you must have developed a true spiritual consciousness. After that, you will be smarter. Sometimes I often wonder, when you break through to the heaven level one day and have thoughts and feelings like humans, what should I say to you as the first thing? But, obviously I have already? I can’t wait for this day. What I’m thinking about now is, when you reach the heaven level, how will you evaluate me as your former master? Or will you regret that I took away your two hundred years of freedom?

"After I die, the Purgatory Rod will be left to you. It can make you stronger and your tribe stronger."

"But, old man, can I ask you one last thing? I am not far away from death, and the troubles in the world of immortality have nothing to do with me anymore. In the righteous path, there are countless people who are better than me in mental strength, and those things in the future will also There's no need for me to worry. The only thing I can't let go of now is the safety of my three disciples, especially Ting'er. After I die, can you send them to two people? Something bad is going to happen soon.

He was slightly stunned, closed his eyes for a moment, and then his face changed drastically. He took out a bead from his sleeve. The bead was originally blue, but now it was completely filled with red. Just a little bit of blue is left, and somewhere sitting there is the last resistance.

This bead is the soul bead that Zhang Hualing, the leader of Jiuhua, had given to Xu Qingfan before! !

At this time, almost all the soul beads have turned red, which means that after Zhang Hualing resisted and struggled for hundreds of years, at this moment, his mind was finally controlled by evil...

After the initial shock. Xu Qingfan calmed down quickly.

"The leaky house just happened to rain continuously." Xu Qingfan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It's a pity. Now I can't do anything. I just hope that Li Yuhan can act according to my plan and stop the master uncle before he does evil. However, without this soul bead..."

Xu Qingfan pondered, but after a moment he shook his head to put aside the sudden worry in his heart. In his current state, even if he was worried, it would not help.

However, just as Xu Qingfan sighed, a gentle and somewhat feminine voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"It turns out it was you who killed that monster. No wonder you're in such a mess..."

Hearing this voice, Xu Qingfan's body trembled slightly. He turned his head to look towards the source of the voice, and saw a middle-aged scribe wearing a black silk robe, with his feet naked, floating quietly three inches above the ground. , looking at himself with interest.

This man appeared silently not far behind him at some point, and among the nearly three thousand "dark crows" around Xu Qingfan, not one of them noticed his arrival! !

The middle-aged scribe in black seemed harmless, but Xiao Hei's monster instinct immediately sensed the danger hidden in the calmness of the person in front of him. This danger was far greater than the one they had managed to kill before. demon.

Xiao Hei's body trembled, and suddenly he screamed several times. Under Xiao Hei's control, countless "dark crows" in the sky suddenly attacked the person.

How powerful will the collective attack of nearly three thousand "dark crows" be? I am afraid that smaller sects will be wiped out instantly by this group of "dark crows". However, when this middle-aged scribe looked at the black clouds approaching him in the sky, there was no trace of nervousness on his face. On the contrary, Smiling slightly, he whispered in a low voice, "Yi Ye!"

As the middle-aged scribe finished speaking, the sky above everyone suddenly turned into a dark night. The range of the dark night was hundreds of feet above everyone's heads. The outside area was still sunset and dusk, and those who were numerous The "Dark Crows". The moment the dark night appeared, they had already lost their direction, kept making panicked cries, and flew around in confusion in the darkness, but no matter how they flew, they could not fly out of the scope of the night.

Easily trapping nearly three thousand "dark crows" in an instant. This method can only be said to be amazing. However, the visitor seemed to have just done an insignificant thing. He nodded and smiled at Xu Qingfan. Then, regardless of Xiao Hei's threat, Shi Shiran walked to Xu Qingfan's side, and then imitated Xu Qingfan's example and sat on the spot, holding his hands and knees. His movements were free and natural.

After Xu Qingfan comforted Xiao Hei, who was about to get hurt or get hurt, he quietly asked the middle-aged scribe: "Who are you?"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Xusheng. This name has been very familiar to Xu Qingfan over the years. However, except for the Jiuhua catastrophe, which he had seen from a distance during the fierce battle, this was the first time Xu Qingfan saw Zhang Xusheng. Saint, and Zhang Xusheng's aura changed greatly after he took back the heart, but Xu Qingfan couldn't recognize it.

Zhang Xusheng did not return to Xu Qingfan's question, but asked with interest: "Well, the body collapsed and the soul dissipated, but the disintegration ** was used?"

After Xu Qingfan nodded, Zhang Xusheng nodded and said, "Yes, that demon is still too strong for you. Now that you are about to die, how do you feel in your heart?"

During the questioning, Zhang Xusheng showed a curious look on his face, seeming to be extremely interested in such a topic.

"You suddenly appeared here just because you wanted to ask me this question?"

Xu Qingfan asked back.

If in normal times, such a mysterious person with unfathomable strength suddenly appeared, Xu Qingfan would be cautious and frightened no matter what. But at this moment, Xu Qingfan is not far from death, and no matter how mysterious or powerful the person is, he will have nothing to do with him. It’s related. But there is no scruple anymore.

Zhang Xusheng was not angry at all. He smiled and shook his head and said, "No, it's just that not far ago, I almost died twice more. I want to know if everyone feels the same before they die."

Did you almost die twice not long ago?

Xu Qingfan seemed to have thought of something, stared at the visitor closely, and asked word for word: "Are you Zhang Xusheng?" ps: Two chapters in one. The updates in the past few days are related to the turning point of the entire book. Chongzi is a little uneasy and cautious. There will be fewer updates today or tomorrow. After all the threads are sorted out, the day after tomorrow at the latest, Chongzi will continue to explode.
