The Lord of Ashes

The path of destiny is ever-changing and its laws are difficult to explore.

Yuanshi Tianzun thought that what he saw was the current scene.

In fact, what he divined was a scene from five hundred years ago.

Five hundred years ago.

Duanjiabao, which used to be poor but had the slightest warmth, ignited a raging fire.

Among the ruins and pitch-black char.

A half-year-old child, holding a hatchet and carrying a smaller girl on his back, struggled to walk out of the shelter of the ruins and the corpses of his parents.

"Yo!"

"Is there anyone left alive?" The wanton laughter came from outside the mountain village.

Several thieves who had not yet left were approaching the brother and sister, blowing whistles and holding machetes.

"Boy, call me grandpa."

"Get under my crotch, and I will spare your life!" said a very young man. His green kudzu clothes were covered with blood, other people's blood.

The big man's voice caused a burst of wanton ridicule from the other three bandits around him.

One of them saw the dirty girl who looked like a ball of mud on the back of the young man, and then he smiled and said, "Hey, there seems to be a girl. Should she take it back to the village? Or sell it to the bustard of Frivolous City?" Son?"

The unbridled laughter of several bandits made the young man tightly hold the hatchet in his hand.

He seemed to see the despair and pain of his parents and fellow villagers before they died.

The world is tough and the strong are respected.

Perhaps those well-known and decent people can bring fairness and justice to many areas.

But it is a pity that the influence of those authentic sects will not radiate to this small mountain village, this remote corner.

Darkness and confusion are still the theme of this world.

Strength is the only criterion for judging morality and right and wrong!

Because Duanjiabao was too weak, and they were too poor to afford the nearest garrison, they were destroyed by the stronger bandits who mainly made a living by looting.

After all, this world is still a dark jungle society where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimps.

This is true whether it is as big as a civilization and plane war or as small as the destruction of a small mountain village.

"What, you want to fight me?"

"Boy, can you hold the knife in your hand tightly?" the strong man who spoke first laughed.

Being stared at with a hatchet by a half-grown child was also a novel experience for him after more than ten years of being a bandit.

The other three thieves included some who were booing and others who were watching the show.

It was noisy. Only the last one urged, "The second master and the others are gone. Kill this boy quickly and take away the girl. Let's go!"

Female babies are more valuable than male babies and have less resistance.

In addition, recently, for some unknown reason, some boys and girls have been collected in the village.

This boy must be a bit old and not suitable. The girl should meet the standard.

This time, this group of bandits broke into Duanjia Fort. In addition to looting, part of the reason was to collect boys and girls.

The urging of his companion made the strong man spit at his side, and then he clapped his horse and stepped forward.

"Go! Go! Go!" The sound of galloping horse hooves is getting closer and closer.

According to this strong man's confidence in his sword skills, it only takes a moment for a big head to fly into the sky.

This guy is even imagining the scene of blood splattering on his face. He likes to lick the blood with the knife.

Directly in front, the young man holding a hatchet in his hand gathered his sister behind him and hugged him tightly.

When the thieves galloped towards him, he could feel his sister's grip tightening on him.

"Brother, I'm afraid." The younger sister buried her head in the boy's neck.

"Don't be afraid, Ning'er, brother will protect you." The young man clenched the hatchet in his hand.

I don't know if it was the death of his parents or relatives that stimulated the young man.

It was his special physique that exploded far beyond the limits of common sense in times of crisis.

A touch of dark silver light flashed from the young man's eyes.

"歘!"

The thief and the young brother and sister passed by each other.

A second later, the young man was cut in half with a knife!

Hot blood splashed onto the young man's cheek, and then he looked up at his other three enemies.

Silver flames billowed in the young man's eyes.

"How... how is it possible?" the other three thieves asked in disbelief.

The sword strike just now was so fast that they didn't even see how the young man made the move.

With just a flash of silver light, the bandit who had been so arrogant just now turned into two halves.

At this time, the young man slowly walked towards the three of them.

The auras of both sides suddenly changed!

The one in the offensive posture was the young man, and the three people opposite him looked at him with surprise and suspicion.

Not settled much.

The girl on the boy's back raised her head to glance secretly at the surrounding scene, then hurriedly lowered her head.

It seems that my brother's back is the broadest harbor.

"What do you want to do?" one of them exclaimed.

"歘!" "歘!" "歘!" Three more knife shadows flashed past.

Three big heads flew into the air!

When the hot blood spread all over the young man's face, he probably didn't know where he got such strength.

Moreover, this mysterious and mysterious sword intention is not something the young man has learned, but seems to be his innate ability!

Why didn't I find such a skill when I was cutting firewood in the mountain stream before?

If I could wake up earlier, my parents and fellow villagers might not...

People are all forced out.

"Huh? What's going on?"

After the young man killed four people in a row, before he could get out of that special state, a voice appeared again, it was a man wearing black clothes.

This guy is also the boy's enemy and the fourth leader of the group of bandits who massacred Duan Jiabao.

Facing the young man with the hatchet in his hand still dripping with blood, the man in Jinfu frowned slightly. He did not underestimate the enemy, but slightly bent his legs and prepared a fighting posture.

This guy is a real trainer and is in the stage of bone and skin training.

In the fairyland civilization, cultivating immortals is not something everyone can do, just like there are not so many knights and magicians in the wizarding world.

Opportunity, heel, wealth, and even the recognition of noble people are all indispensable.

The vast majority of all living beings are just at the bottom of society. They may have heard of the names of immortals, but they have only been wallowing in the dirt and dust throughout their lives.

For those who have not yet embarked on the immortal path, practicing martial arts is their only way out besides studying.

You can't go into business.

This time, the battle was completed in an instant.

When the young man fiercely crossed the Fourth Master's chest, the Fourth Master, who originally aimed at the young man's head, lowered his head and looked at his lower body in disbelief.

The lower body in the black uniform was directly separated from the upper body, and the rich and fishy-smelling blood instantly covered the surrounding ground.

People who practice martial arts have strong qi and blood. From the "blood loss" of this fourth master, you can see the difference between him and the few minions just now.

But alas, it’s no use!

The fourth master became another dead soul under the young man's hatchet!

"How is that possible! I just escaped..." Si Dangjia, who had only the upper half of his body left, was not dead for a while.

Although he has not reached the first level of life, which is commonly known as the "foundation building" stage, relying on the power of blood to survive for a few more breaths also shows the strength of this person's martial arts skills.

"No...I am a lay disciple who has been favored by Tianyu Sect and is about to join the Immortal Sect..."

"I want to become an immortal! I can't die..." Another thick mass of blood gushes out from under the Fourth Master. The dying guy raised his hand to the sky, seeming to touch his so-called "Fairy Gate".

At this time, the young man spit out a ball of blood from his mouth. The right fist of the man who had just defeated the man actually hit the young man's left shoulder.

Coupled with the fact that he had forcibly unleashed his body's potential for such a long time and exerted speed and strength that were beyond his physical capabilities, the young man's skin was also chapped with blood marks in many places.

The focus was on the right shoulder, as if the bones were broken.

The young man who was relieved from that special mood due to severe pain also heard the man in black murmured before his death.

The young man's eyes were full of hatred for the men in black clothes and those bandits and thieves.

He also heard stories about immortals told by his mother when he was young.

But at this time, I heard that men in black clothes could actually ascend to the Immortal Gate and become so-called "immortals".

The young man said fiercely, "If you become an immortal, I will kill the immortal!"

"Behead the Immortal!" The appearance of the two words caused a "rumbling" sound in the surrounding sky.

The thunder rolls and the storm rises.

In the blink of an eye, this remote mountain village ushered in the summer rain.

The pain in his right shoulder, the severe impact on his mental level, and the overuse of his body's potential made the young man finally lose strength and fall to one side after uttering these harsh words.

In the pouring rain, the young man vaguely saw his sister rushing toward him, and the look of fear and worry on her face.

"I will protect you..." The boy was still murmuring before losing consciousness.

"elder brother!"

In the ancient land, Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Kingdom is subordinate to Tianyun Empire.

The ruins of Duanjiabao on the border of Taixi County, Tiemazhou and Zonglan County.

The young man held a hatchet and took his sister with him to usher in his own life.

"If you become an immortal, I will kill the immortal!"
