The entire mountain village was as quiet as death. Not only was there no bustling scene as usual, but even the barking of dogs could no longer be heard.
Mu Jingyu pushed open a house at the end of the village and was stunned by the sight in front of him. In the yard, two villagers, a man and a woman, lay dead on the spot. Judging from the appearance of their death, they were killed by a blow through the chest with a sharp claw.
Pushing open the door, the old and the young in the room were also in such miserable condition. Even a hound lying in the yard had its skull crushed.
I pushed away four or five houses in a row, could it be like this?
The more Mu Jingyu watched, the more frightened he became. He really couldn't figure out who could be so vicious in this mountain village, which was located in the mountains. He killed the whole village, old and young, even hunting dogs and livestock.
Without enough time to think about it, he turned around and ran towards Chunya's yard.
Although there was still some hope in the heart, the aunt's family, like other villagers, all had their hearts pierced by sharp claws. Mu Jingyu looked at the corpses of the family that had been together for more than ten days lying around, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"Chun Ya, where is Chun Ya!"
After looking around, Mu Jingyu found that the shy girl was not here, and a little hope suddenly rose in his heart.
But when he opened the door, all hope was in vain.
A petite figure was leaning on the edge of the bed, his chest already stained red with blood. His hands hung weakly by his side, and an unfinished piece of clothing fell beside him. Apparently, she was killed suddenly while sewing some clothes in the house.
"Chunya, how are you?"
Mu Jingyu rushed in front of her, reached out to her nose, and found that there was still a trace of breath. He quickly put his hand on her back, and a stream of true energy flowed into Chunya's body.
"Ahem..."
Chunya gradually woke up from her coma, raised her pale face, and showed a pale smile when she saw Mu Jingyu.
"Brother Jingyu, you are back. Did you bring back the red flowers I asked you to bring for me?"
Mu Jingyu didn't expect that Chun Ya's first words after waking up were thinking about his promise. It is conceivable that her weight in her heart has far exceeded that of her parents.
Holding back his tears, Mu Jingyu quickly tore open the cloth bag and scattered all the red flowers in front of her. "I brought them. I brought you the entire red flowers in Longtou Cliff. See if they are enough." , is it enough?”
A bright light lit up in Chunya's eyes, and she tried hard to grab a handful, but because her injury was too serious, she tried several times but failed.
Mu Jingyu quickly grabbed a handful, put it in her hand and said, "Don't move, I'll help you get it, I'll get it for you."
Although Mu Jingyu's energy kept her alive, it was just a flashback. After trying hard to smell the fragrance of the flowers, Chun Ya couldn't hold on any longer.
"Thank you, brother Jingyu..."
Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't take a breath anymore, her head tilted, and her sweet smile disappeared.
For more than ten days, Mu Jingyu had already regarded them as family. Although he decided to leave here tomorrow, he never thought that they would be slaughtered all over the village today. Unable to hold back the grief and anger in his heart, he raised his head and roared.
The originally lively mountain village suddenly fell into silence. Mu Jingyu seemed to have returned to the scene nine years ago when the Dapeng Golden Eagle massacred everyone in his Mujia Village. However, that time he was still a weak boy. Facing the Dapeng Golden Eagle, there is no way to fight back.
Now, he has the strength of the transformation stage. Although he is still weak, he is capable of fighting against others after all.
After venting his anger, Mu Jingyu slowly calmed down. I didn't have time to ask Chunya who did this murder just now, so it seems that I have to look for clues myself.
Touching the corpses that had not completely turned cold, it seemed that the murderer had just finished massacring the villagers, and maybe he was not far away from here yet.
Just as Mu Jingyu was about to look for clues elsewhere, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the end of the village.
Now he is the only living person in this mountain village. Come to think of it, this voice is most likely the murderer!
The sound came from somewhere outside the mountain village. Mu Jingyu stretched out his body and looked for the direction from which the sound came.
Although the sound gradually faded away in the mountains and forests, it continued continuously, as if it was deliberately attracting someone's attention.
After a quarter of an hour, the whistling finally stopped. Mu Jingyu tightened his grip on the short knife and carefully walked towards the place where the sound finally disappeared through the dense woods in the mountains.
It was getting late, and the already dense woods became even darker.
The man in black robe was seen standing in an open space in the forest, with his back to Mu Jingyu and his hands behind his back. Opposite him, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a blue robe, held a long sword diagonally in one hand and stared at the man in black robe.
"Who are you, and why did you suddenly attack the mountain village and massacre all the people in the village, even the pigs and dogs!" the man in white asked with a stern face.
The man in black robe said, "Hehehe, I will kill if I want to, and slaughter if I want. It is not your turn, a junior disciple of Jiuhua Mountain, to take care of it!"
Mu Jingyu was hiding behind the woods. When he heard the man in black robe tell the origin of the man in white, he realized that he was originally a disciple of Jiuhua Mountain. And this man in black robe was the culprit who massacred all the villagers.
Mu Jingyu wanted to rush out immediately and cut the man in black robes to pieces in order to avenge the whole village. However, I still kept a bit of calm in my heart. My current cultivation level is not high, and this person is not an easy person. If he rushed out rashly, not to mention avenging them, he might even risk his own life. It's better to hide here now and see what the disciple from Jiuhua Mountain will do.
The man in white said, "Since you know that I am a disciple of Jiuhua Mountain, you should know that this place is located in the mountains and mountains. It is only a hundred miles away from my Jiuhua division. You dare to massacre the villagers so boldly. How brave you are!"
"You, Jiuhua Mountain, dare to interfere in my business. Does that old man Tianyang really think he is invincible?"
The man in white didn't expect that this man would dare to despise the head of Tianyang in front of him. He suddenly said sternly, "Who are you? You can have such a loud tone! Why don't you tell me your name and let me, Liu Xie, try it?" Try your methods!"
When Mu Jingyu heard him announce his name, he realized that the man in white turned out to be Liu Xie, a disciple of Master Jiuyang at Chaoyang Peak in Jiuhua Mountain.
When he was practicing at Shaoyang Peak, he heard Master Fan He mention this person and knew that he was the ninth disciple of Master Jiuyang. Although his cultivation level is not too high among many disciples, he is only at the early stage of Guiyuan. However, his Mu Yang Chuan Yun Sword Technique is extremely exquisite, and he is known as the best in Nine Yang Peak. Unexpectedly, he would appear here.
The man in black robe suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, it turns out you are Liu Xie! You really can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort at all!"
Liu Xie's expression tightened and he said in a deep voice, "Do you recognize me?"
"Hahaha, I didn't recognize you at first. But if you introduce yourself to your family, don't you already know me?"
Before Liu Xie could react, what did he mean? I saw a black shadow suddenly flashing past, and it was in front of me in the blink of an eye.
Liu Xie did not expect that this person would suddenly take action. Fortunately, he had been on alert, and the long sword in his hand made a soft sound, piercing the black-robed man's face.
For a moment, there was a sound of swords in the forest, and two figures, one white and one black, fought together.
Mu Jingyu hid behind the trees, staring closely at the two men fighting in the field, not daring to breathe for fear of exposing his position.
"Boy, are you good at swordsmanship?"
Although the man in black robe did not take out his weapon and fought Liu Xie with only a pair of flesh palms, he was not at a disadvantage in the slightest. Instead, Liu Xie was pinned down firmly by him. If it weren't for his exquisite swordsmanship, he might have been unable to hold on long ago.
There was a soft bang, and when the man in black robe saw the sword that suddenly appeared in front of him, he actually did not dodge. Just when the tip of the sword was about to hit his face, his palms were tightly closed and the sword was fixed in the air. No matter how hard Liu Xie tried, he could not shake it.
Just when Liu Xie wanted to pour his true energy into the long sword and shake open the hands of the man in black robe. However, he heard several harsh laughter coming from his mouth, and a dense layer of black flying insects crawled out from his sleeves.
"what!"
Liu Xie frowned. Although he couldn't see clearly what was crawling on the sword, a dangerous aura still enveloped his whole body.
Qi filled the sword body, trying to knock down these black flying insects. Unexpectedly, the black flying insect remained unmoved at all, clinging tightly to the sword and crawling toward his arm quickly.
Without enough time to think about it, Liu Xie instantly opened his hands. While the man in black robe was still holding his long sword, he whispered the Five Elements Lightning Technique, and while waving his palms at high speed, a bolt of thunder appeared from mid-air and hit the head of the man in black robe.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, the Five Elements Art of Drawing Thunder is nothing more than that!"
Liu Xie snorted coldly and said, "Is it just like this? You will know if you try it yourself!"
As Liu Xie finished speaking, the Five Elements Lightning Technique had reached the top of the black-robed man's head. The face of the man in black robe was as usual, his robe was rising without any wind, and he stood upside down to wrap up the entire lightning strike.
Liu Xie did not expect that his Five Elements Lightning Technique at the peak of transformation would disappear after being wrapped in this black robe.
"Next, it's time for you to taste my power!"
The man in black robe didn't wait for the black robe to fall, and with a strong force of his hands, Liu Xie's long sword turned into powder and flew away. And on the scattered powder, there was actually a black flying insect each. The powder he was controlling formed a black long sword in the air and attacked Liu Xie.
"break!"
The true energy surged out from Liu Xie's palm, trying to blow away the long sword made of flying insects. Unexpectedly, before these zhenqi could touch the black sword, thousands of black insects had already spread out and surrounded him from all directions.
Liu Xie saw that there was no way to avoid it, and his true energy spread out in all directions, forming a constantly rotating true energy barrier, trying to block the thousands of black flying insects with his own surging true energy.
Liu Xie was in the center of the zhenqi barrier, busy fending off thousands of flying insects. But Mu Jingyu was a hundred feet away and could clearly see the man in black robe quietly falling behind Liu Xie when he had no time to look around.
Just as he was about to speak out a warning, he quickly stopped his voice, fearing that if he spoke out, the man in black would find him. But if he didn't warn him, Liu Xie might be attacked by a man in black robe in the next moment.
Just when he was hesitating, the man in black robe had quietly landed behind Liu Xie. Holding a dark green wooden box in his hand, he glanced at Liu Xie who was unaware, snorted coldly, and opened the wooden box.
A green bug with a swollen belly slowly crawled out of the wooden box. The man in black robe placed the ugly green bug in his palm, tapped its swollen belly with his fingers, and pointed at Liu Xie who was looking around. The green bug seemed to understand what he meant, and it spread out a pair of thin transparent wings and slowly rose into the air.
Before Mu Jingyu could see clearly, the green bug had disappeared. The next moment, he had already flown into the middle of many black flying insects.
As if sensing the power of the green fat insect, countless flying insects several times smaller than him all made way for a passage and watched the fat insect fly into Liu Xie's side.
"Huh? What is this!"
Liu Xie noticed the abnormality instantly and turned around suddenly, just in time to see the man in black robe and the fat green bug.
Although he didn't know what it was, looking at the cold face of the man in black robe, he knew it was definitely not a gift for him.
He put his two fingers together, using them as swords, and instantly hit the fat insect's body. Before he could use his true energy to shatter it, he suddenly discovered that the bug had actually broken through his own true energy barrier and bit his finger.
Suddenly, a huge pain came from the fingertips. In just a few breaths, it quickly spread throughout the body. Just when he was about to scream, his body fell limply to the ground.
"Hehehe, how does it feel to be bitten by the Soul-eating Flying Armor?" In a daze, the man in black robe was already standing beside Liu Xie, looking at him with a sinister smile.
