Under the pitch-black night sky, huge thunder poured down, and occasionally a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire night sky, followed by a deafening thunder, as if the sky was about to explode.
A boy who had just turned twelve years old dragged a foot with broken bones and crawled forward bit by bit with difficulty, leaving behind a scarlet and dazzling blood mark, which was instantly washed away by the rain. No trace. A hundred feet away, two men in black looked fiercely and followed them slowly.
"Climb, keep climbing, let's see how far you can climb!" One of the men in black said grimly.
The young man in front of him, clawing at the dirt with his hands as he trudged forward, was the second son of the Liu family in nearby Shuangfeng City, named Liu Wei. The Liu family was originally a declining family in Shuangfeng City. There were only a hundred people in the family. The one with the highest cultivation level was his brother, but he was only in the Sky Realm.
Liu Wei knows that the realms are divided from low to high into mortal realm, spiritual realm, empty realm, virtual realm, true realm, venerable realm, king realm, emperor realm and emperor realm.
There are countless large and small forces in Shuangfeng City, and declining families like the Liu family can be found everywhere. Because there has never been a strong person above the virtual realm in the family, it can be said that the family is having an increasingly difficult time in Twin Peaks. The Liu family knows that the person who has reached the highest level of cultivation is his father Liu Hong, but it was only in the virtual state. But my grandfather is already over a hundred years old, his hair is gray, and his body is stooped. There is no possibility of making any progress in his cultivation in this life. He will only reach the empty realm after practicing all his life.
Liu Wei learned from his grandfather that his father had always been looking for crystal mines outside in order to survive the development of the family. However, shortly after Liu Wei was born, his father and his mother Duan Hongyu went out to search for crystal mines and never returned. return. And from the people who came back from the accompanying tribe, we learned that a dozen of them encountered robbers outside. They were all dispersed, and only three of them escaped. Most of his parents are already in trouble, otherwise they would not go home to visit his brother and himself for more than ten years.
The Liu family has no outstanding children and has been unable to join some forces, so the decline of the family is a foregone conclusion. The elder brother Liu Min was only fourteen years old. In order to improve the family, he practiced martial arts day and night every day. However, due to his mediocre qualifications and lack of resources in his family, he started practicing martial arts at the age of five. It has been nine years now, but he can barely reach the Sky Realm.
When Liu Hong went out with Duan Hongyu, he told Liu Wei's grandfather that Liu Wei was not allowed to practice martial arts. Liu Wei's grandfather was still wondering why his grandson was talking about this at such a young age, but he didn't ask. Later, after Liu Hong and his wife's accident, his grandfather understood that Liu Wei might have had a premonition that something was going to happen to him, so he made an explanation in advance. But he never knew why his grandson was not allowed to practice martial arts, but he understood that it was for Liu Wei's good. After all, Liu Hong would not harm his son. Therefore, in these years, no one in the family was allowed to teach Liu Wei martial arts.
Starting when Liu Wei was ten years old, every time his brother Liu Mun was practicing martial arts, Liu Wei would quietly hide aside and watch. However, Liu Mun practiced the same things every day. He held a handful of iron objects and practiced those few things over and over again. Actions: stab, chop, pick, frame, sweep, etc. The same actions were repeated almost every day for several years.
Liu Wei also secretly made a sword for himself out of bamboo and hid it under the mound of dirt in the back mountain. Then he secretly went to the back mountain to practice with a bamboo sword every day on the pretext of playing in the back mountain, but he did not If I dared to practice in the back mountain for too long, I was afraid of being discovered by my grandpa, so I only practiced for two hours every day before coming back. Since he had no other training skills, he repeated those actions just like his brother, stabbing, chopping, picking, fighting, sweeping, etc. After two years, he felt that he should be a little better than his brother, but he didn't know how much better. He didn't have a measurement standard in his mind, and he didn't dare to ask his brother or grandpa.
Now every time I pick up the bamboo sword to practice, every time the sword is released, there is a sword energy. As long as it is hit by this sword energy, whether it is a stone or a tree, a hole the size of a thumb will be left on it. And every time he practiced swordplay, he felt as if he was integrated with the surrounding environment. Every dust, every sand, every grass, every tree, birds, insects, fish, and a series of other things would be clearly seen by him. He didn't know what the situation was, what state it was in, and no one could help him.
Just yesterday, he was practicing swordsmanship in the back mountain as usual, but he always felt restless, as if something was about to happen, and his swordsmanship practice no longer had the same sense of transparency as before. After practicing for a while, he saw that the weather was getting darker and darker, and it was about to rain, and it was approaching night, so he simply stopped practicing, hid the bamboo sword and walked home. Halfway through, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a muffled thunder in the sky, and then raindrops as big as beans fell down. Liu Wei quickened his pace and rushed home.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Wei arrived at the door of his house. When he arrived at the door, it was completely dark and the heavy rain was still falling. He ran directly into the yard. When he first entered the courtyard, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw corpses all over the ground in the courtyard, and the rain in the courtyard was all red with blood. At this time, there were three men in black standing in front of his brother Liu Wei, and one of Liu Min's arms was gone. His clothes were in tatters, and wounds could be seen everywhere, especially the gash on his thigh that was turned outwards, and the bones were clearly visible. Liu Min was already trembling and might fall down at any time. Liu Wei looked at the scene in front of him, his whole body seemed to have been tapped on his acupuncture points, he was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and he stayed in place motionless.
At this moment, the grandfather lying on the ground turned his head with difficulty to look at Liu Wei. At the same time, the three men in black and his brother Liu Min also looked towards Liu Wei. Liu Wei still looked as if he had been frightened, standing motionless on the spot.
"Hey, I originally planned to kill your good-for-nothing brother and your immortal grandfather, and then look for you, but I didn't expect you to show up at the door yourself. Well, it saves us wasting time looking for you again!" Among them! A man in black had a joking look on his lips and spoke unhurriedly.
"Third brother, stop talking nonsense. We've had enough fun. Let's finish them off together so we can go back and collect the reward. Damn it, this loser has been struggling with the old immortal for so long. Enough time has been wasted. If he drags it on any longer, If something changes, the three of us won’t be able to eat and walk around!” Another man in black said.
The man in black who spoke before nodded, and then prepared a move to kill Liu Wei, who was dumbfounded in the field without any cultivation. He was also very unhappy. Two of them were in the air realm and the other was in the virtual realm, but they hadn't gotten rid of Liu Min, who they called useless, within a quarter of an hour. This was a bit of a slap in the face. Just when he was about to set out to kill Liu Wei, a sudden change occurred in the field. The dying old man who had been lying in a pool of blood suddenly jumped up and pounced on the three of them. At this time, the old man only had one arm and one leg left. His whole body was covered with blood mixed with rainwater and flowing down his clothes. The moment the old man rushed up, he shouted at Liu Mian: "Hurry up and take your brother and escape!"
Liu Mian reacted in a stunned moment, and then rushed towards his younger brother. He understood that this was the last chance of escape that his grandfather had given the two brothers. Although he knew that he would not survive even if he escaped now, because he was too seriously injured, he could still stand at this moment, relying entirely on his breath and the perseverance he had honed over the years. You can fall down, but you must fight to save your brother.
The three men in black didn't expect that the old man who was about to expire would suddenly burst out in anger. Caught off guard, the three men were knocked backwards. At the same time, an ax in the old man's hand also struck hard at the man in black, who had the highest cultivation level among the three. The old man knew that this was the last blow he could send, and it was also the last fight for his grandson's escape. An opportunity, after this blow, no matter what the result is, he will die here. Although he is only in the Sky Realm, he tried his best with this ax and repaid his determination to die. Even if he couldn't kill that He is a man in black in the virtual realm, but he can also hurt the opponent when the opponent is unprepared.
Liu Wei took this opportunity to rush in front of his younger brother, picked up his younger brother with his remaining hand and ran towards the door. All this happened in an instant, and Liu Wei, who was still in a dazed state, was pulled staggering. Almost fell to the ground.
