The old man swung his broken knife and slashed at Zhang Xiaopeng at random.
Zhang Xiaopou was horrified for a moment. The sword energy had not yet reached his body, but he felt that his body had been split in two. It was too late to make any resistance.
In his delicate state of mind, coupled with the secret help of ghosts and spirits, he was unable to see clearly the old man's casual knife.
If you can't see clearly, how can you resist?
Almost out of instinct, Zhang Xiaopou immediately held the bone knife in front of him, making a blocking gesture. At the same time, he kicked his feet on the ground, trying to jump back and distance himself.
However, the moment he kicked off the ground but before he could jump back, the sword energy reached him.
when--!
The blade of the sword hit the blade of the bone knife, and the blade suffered an impact and instantly dented in a huge arc.
Since Zhang Xiaozu got the bone knife, this was the first time he saw the bone knife bending due to being unable to withstand the force of the impact.
boom!
The next moment, the bone knife blade slammed into Zhang Xiaozu's arms. The terrifying impact force left Zhang Xiaozu with no room for resistance, and he vomited blood and flew backwards.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt that his energy and blood were surging backwards, his sternum was broken, his internal organs were crowded into his throat, and he was about to spurt out when he opened his mouth.
He was glad that he held the bone knife flat and horizontally in front of him, instead of holding the blade vertically in front of him, otherwise his chest would have been split open by the back of the bone knife.
However, the old man's attack was not over yet.
The sword energy against the Bone Sword suddenly transformed and exploded in front of Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaopou roared angrily, unfolded the "Murder Knife", and slashed sixty-three times in one breath.
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
The bone knife blade hit a series of sparks.
But flowers of blood burst out from Zhang Xiaozu's body at the same time. He was unable to block all the sword energy. He was cut with more than a dozen bone-deep wounds on his body, and blood flowed freely.
His body, which had been knocked upside down, was hit hard again and flew backwards at a faster speed.
Bang——Boom——
It broke the big tree and knocked down the high wall of the house, but it still couldn't stop the body from flying upside down.
Zhang Xiaozu coughed out several large mouthfuls of blood.
But the old man's sword power has not stopped yet.
Thousands of sword energy suddenly gathered into one sword again, cutting across the void and slashing towards Zhang Xiaopeng.
Zhang Xiaozu took a deep breath, gathered the seven-color Hunyuan Power on the blade, and used the strongest move of the "Murder Knife" to face him.
boom!
As soon as they collided with each other, they were like a ball thrown out by a stick, rolling and flying backwards, extremely embarrassed.
His hands were torn apart, his sleeves were shredded, the meridians in his body were broken, and his organs were damaged.
boom!
He smashed through half of the Cang family's gate tower, flew out from the Cang family's courtyard, and fell into the square.
Suddenly, the sword energy struck again.
Zhang Xiaopeng rolled over and got up, waving his bone knife to resist and retreating quickly.
What made him relieved was that the old man's sword power was weakening, and he could already capture the changes in the sword technique in his subtle state of mind.
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
He fully deployed the murderous knife and defused one knife attack after another. When he finished fending off the last attack, he suddenly found that he had retreated to the edge of the square in front of Cang's house.
"Butcher Zhang gave birth to a great grandson." The old man's voice came from the Cang family courtyard.
Zhang Xiaozu leaned on the ground with his bone knife and half-knelt on the ground. After breathing for a while, he forced his scarred body to stand up and said, "Thank you, senior, for showing mercy!"
"Oh, there is no need to put gold on my face. I rely on my cultivation to overwhelm you, but I will not show mercy to you.
Leave the challenge behind and you can go. "
The old man said coldly.
Zhang Xiaopou frowned when he heard this, put the bone knife into the mustard seeds, cupped his hands and said, "Junior is thirsty."
He has fought all the way here. If he just puts the letter of challenge on the ground and leaves, then what is the meaning of these fierce battles? It would be better to just throw the letter of challenge onto the city gate tower outside the city.
The arrogance in the bones of the Cang family is certainly admirable, but that doesn't mean that he can't have his own arrogance in front of the Cang family.
He will definitely drink this tea today, unless the Cang family has the nerve to be shameless and deny it.
"Let him come in." A majestic voice suddenly came from the main hall of the Cang family.
"Yes." The old man responded respectfully, then looked at Zhang Xiaopou and said, "I'm too lazy. You can go into the main hall to drink tea."
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaozu thanked him, straightened his broken and messy clothes, and then walked towards Cang's house with his head held high.
When passing by the old man, he suddenly stopped and asked, "May I ask what your senior's cultivation is?"
"Star destruction realm." The old man replied quietly.
"The realm of destruction is really terrifying." Zhang Xiaozhu exclaimed, feeling that even if he opened his eyes of killing, he would not be a match for the person in front of him.
Sitting on the throne at the top of the Cang family's main hall was an old man wearing a feathered coat, with white hair and a childish face, and an air of immortality.
Zhang Xiaozu walked into the main hall, glanced at the old man and quickly looked away, fearing to offend the Holy Power, then stepped forward a few steps, saluted respectfully: "Junior Zhang Xiaozu, please see Master Sword Sage! If you are rude and offended, I hope that Master Sword Sage will not remember the faults of villains."
"Ha ha--"
The old man stroked his beard and laughed, saying: "You have admitted your mistake. I am not the Holy Ancestor. I am the head of the Cang family, Cang Santong."
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said quickly: "It's the junior who is being abrupt. Zhang Xiaozu pays homage to the Cang Family Master."
"I don't blame those who don't know. Please sit down." Cang Santong motioned to Zhang Xiaopou to sit down and talk, and at the same time ordered: "Come here, serve tea."
Soon a servant brought a bowl of hot tea to Zhang Xiaopou. The tea was green and fragrant.
"Tea please!"
"Junior is very thirsty, so don't be pretentious."
Zhang Xiaozu responded, then picked up the tea bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one breath.
Because his mouth was full of blood, he couldn't taste anything except the smell of blood.
“Good tea!”
He put down the tea bowl, took out a war note written by the butcher from the mustard seeds, and handed it to Cang Santong.
Cang Santong gave the servant a look, and the servant immediately stepped forward to take the war sticker from Zhang Xiaopou and presented it to Cang Santong.
Cang Santong opened the battle sticker, took a look at it, nodded and said: "I will present this battle sticker to the Holy Ancestor later."
"In this case, I will stop disturbing you and take my leave." Zhang Xiaozu stood up and said.
Cang Santong nodded and made no attempt to persuade him to stay.
Obviously, he had nothing to talk to Zhang Xiaozu, he just came out to deal with the situation to avoid being criticized.
drive!
After leaving the Cang Family Mansion, Zhang Xiaopou called to the thundering flame horse that was waiting for him in the square, turned over, got on the horse's back, and galloped away.
His body was stained with blood and scars, his clothes were torn, and his long hair was messy. He looked more conceited than the beggars on the street, but no one on both sides of the road dared to look down upon him.
"This boy is extremely talented and has an unlimited future. He should not be let go."
Some members of the Cang family shook their heads and sighed, feeling that the talented Zhang Xiaopou should be strangled in his growth, otherwise Canghai City would definitely have a terrible enemy in the future.
But the pride of the Cang family does not allow them to do this.
Zhang Xiaozu rode the thundering flame horse, galloping all the way, and left Canghai City without any hindrance.
However, after coming out of Canghai City, his face instantly turned pale as paper. He could no longer suppress the injuries in his body and leaned on his horse, coughing up blood.
He quickly took two star pills and used his energy to heal his injuries.
The thundering and flaming horse knew the way and ran wildly along the way it came without the need for Zhang Xiaoping. Finally, it turned behind a dirt slope and disappeared from the sight of the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall.
Underground in Canghai City, in a training cave, Cang Yihai, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, because Zhang Xiaopou and the Thunderous Flame Horse disappeared out of thin air under his nose.
His consciousness was locked behind the slope where Zhang Xiaopou and the Thundering Flame Horse disappeared out of thin air. Feeling the trace of space fluctuation energy remaining in the air, a look of surprise flashed in Gujing Wubo's eyes, and he secretly said: "How could he not leave any trace of energy behind?" He is able to evade the tracking of this saint's spiritual consciousness without any trace, what a strong spatial attainment.
Santong, bring Butcher Zhang’s war sticker to me to see. "
The last sentence was his command to Cang Santong, the head of the Cang family, through his spiritual consciousness.
After receiving the order, Cang Santong quickly came down to the cave with the war sticker and presented it to Cang Yihai respectfully.
Cang Yihai took the battle post, opened it and read it word by word, with doubts in his eyes.
He originally thought that he could feel Tufu Zhang's holy breath from his words, but he found that the words on the war sticker were very ordinary and had no power at all, as if they were written by ordinary people.
"You go up." Cang Yihai put the war sticker aside and his expression returned to calm.
He did not dwell on the doubts in his heart, because the answer would be revealed during the duel on the 15th.
"Be prepared for a tough fight."
When Cang Santong was about to leave the cave, Cang Yihai suddenly reminded him.
"Yes." Cang Santong stopped and turned around to take the order.
He couldn't help but feel serious and heavy, because his ancestor could give a warning, and the seriousness of the situation could be foreseen.
"Does Su Hanlin really want to fight the saint to death?"
"Why this?"
Cang Santong couldn't figure out why Su Hanlin had to be so aggressive. Wouldn't it be better to take a step back and make peace with him?
Black Ape sat on the sand dune, looking at Zhang Xiaopou who was injured and almost half of his life, and felt very puzzled.
Don’t understand why Zhang Xiaozu is so stupid?
Why do you have to ask for trouble and break into the dragon's pool and the tiger's den alone when you can just throw the letter of war on the city wall? I am not afraid of dying in Canghai City.
"Too stupid!"
It felt that when it had time, it had to teach Zhang Xiaopou a lesson and make him smarter. The letter of challenge was not as simple, direct and easy to use as their beastly method of declaring war.
Go directly to the other party's house, stick your butt out and shit, declare your territorial sovereignty, and you are sure to arouse hatred in one go. No matter how good-tempered the other party is, they will chase you for ten miles with a knife.
Zhang Xiaozu has never heard of anyone doing this. Even if he had heard of it, he would not dare to defecate at the gate of Canghai City. Let’s not talk about whether it is embarrassing or not. If he is caught and the tools of the crime are confiscated, it will be terrible. That's it.
But as you can imagine, this method is absolutely useless for attracting hatred.
Niu Dawa understands this very well.
He tightly grabbed a hot fart that had just left the house behind his anus, and then covered it on the face of a powerful star. He shared this unique "fragrance" with him, and was chased hysterically for five days. Five nights.
Even if a fart is like this, if it is a poop, it will probably lead to death.
What frightened him deeply was that the other party's tracking ability was extremely strong. No matter which direction he used Thousand Miles of Moment, or which corner he was hiding in, the other party could quickly find him.
He even wondered if his fart was so smelly that it left an indelible mark on the other person's soul, allowing the other person to sense his location.
Of course, he just thought about it in a bad way.
The other party could find him accurately across thousands of miles. He guessed that it was most likely that the other party had planted a spiritual imprint on him, or some secret method with similar functions, and then found him through mental induction.
So he threw the clothes transformed into magic feathers into the Xumi mustard seeds, then burned himself from head to toe with blue demonic fire on his bare buttocks, then jumped into a raging river and floated down the river for nearly a hundred miles. , climbed ashore and burned himself again, and finally put on a pair of brand new clothes.
"Damn it, if you can find me again, I have nothing to say." Niu Dawa panted and lay on the soft sandy beach, his face pale.
He was seriously injured because the star power who was chasing him was in the fourth level of star-catching consummation state, so he had almost no room to fight back except being beaten.
If it weren't for the Forbidden Law Domain and the Thousand Miles Instant to save his life, he would have died in the opponent's hands.
"I wonder what the situation is like over there with the fourth child? But please don't block the knife for the prince stupidly. No matter how precious the prince's life is, it is not as valuable as our own dog's life."
Niu Dawa looked to the northwest and muttered to himself with a worried look on his face.
He originally planned to visit Yuan Taiping for a while, and then go north to find Zhang Xiaozu. Zhang Xiaozu was going to fight the Sword Saint with Zhang Butcher, so he couldn't rest assured.
Who would have thought that when he was about to say goodbye to Yuan Taiping, the prince was suddenly attacked. There were ten powerful stars on the other side, all of whom were masters of the second-level spiritual realm or above. They killed and injured them as soon as they met.
After a fierce fight, the 30,000-strong army was overwhelmed and defeated. In order to cover Yuan Taiping and escort the prince to escape, he risked his life to block the opponent's most advanced man.
As a result, he was chased hysterically for five days and five nights because of a piece of hatred.
Niu Dawa shook his head and got rid of his worries, because in his current state, he could do nothing but worry, so he might as well find a place to quickly treat his injury.
He looked around, found a hidden location, and used his remaining strength to forcefully set up a space restriction. His body sank two feet underground, paying attention to the movements above and seizing the time to heal his injuries.
What made him relieved was that the star power that had eaten his ass did not catch up again.
Three days later, Niu Dawa's injury recovered to 70%. He was considering whether to go to Yuan Taiping after recovering from the injury, or to go to Yuan Taiping now. Suddenly, there was a cry of death on the ground, and he was heading towards him. Close here.
The battle was so fierce that Niu Dawa heard the sound as if one group of people were hunting another group of people, and the hunted group seemed to be all women.
boom!
I don't know what hit the ground, and the ground rumbled and trembled, making Niu Dawa's ears buzzing when he was hiding underground.
"Nangong Zhu, stop resisting in vain and leave a way for your disciples to survive."
"Can you tell me, the master of this palace, who wants to destroy my Piaomiao Palace?"
Niu Dawa heard the fighting on the ground suddenly stop, followed by a conversation between a man and a woman.
When he heard the name "Piao Miao Palace", his heart suddenly trembled, and a beautiful face appeared in his mind.
"Haha, for the sake of our old friendship, I ask you to be clear that the people above want to destroy your Piaomiao Palace."
"Above? Su Hanlin?"
"No, it's higher up."
"Ask Tianzong?!"
"Exactly. So give up the resistance. If you die, the Piaomiao Palace will be scattered. The remaining disciples of your sect can still survive. Resisting stubbornly will only increase casualties."
"Why? Why do you want to destroy my Piaomiao Palace? When has my Piaomiao Palace ever offended them?!"
"Because you surrendered to Su Hanlin, all sects that surrendered to Su Hanlin will be wiped out."
