Just when Chen Xiao was about to collect the Tianxin Grass, an arrow shot through the air like a meteor, hitting the back of Chen Xiao's head.
Chen Xiao didn't have time to pick the Tianxin grass, and his body rolled on the spot and fell to one side.
After practicing the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique, Chen Xiao found that his soul was much improved than before, so he was able to make a judgment immediately.
"laugh!"
The arrow landed where Chen Xiao was squatting just now, just one step away from him, and he almost died from the arrow.
The body quickly stood up, and the sword appeared in his hand.
Ten meters behind him, a man in gray clothes was lying on a tree branch, holding a black crossbow in his hand.
There was a trace of doubt in the man's eyes. The arrow just now was difficult to avoid even at the ninth level of Qi Gathering, but Chen Xiao actually avoided it.
immediately!
A murderous intent approached Chen Xiao, followed closely by a second arrow.
The biggest danger in the Qingcheng Mountains is not from monsters, but from humans. Here, murder and smuggling are repeatedly prohibited.
The long sword in his hand was blocked in the air, and the arrows that were flying towards him were knocked away by Chen Xiao's sword.
"Qiang!"
The arrow hit the big tree nearby and sank directly into it.
"What a thief, why do you want to sneak attack on me!"
Chen Xiao's body shot out, his body rose up from the ground, and he used the immortal's move to point the way, approaching the man in gray. His swordsmanship was extremely sophisticated.
The face of the man in gray changed slightly. He didn't expect that a small fourth-level Qi-gathering man could display such exquisite swordsmanship, and his true energy was extremely pure, comparable to the eighth-level Qi-gathering level.
The sword energy was coming towards the man in gray. If he didn't react, he would be pierced by Chen Xiao's sword.
Putting the crossbow on his wrist, the man in gray suddenly lowered his body, a scimitar appeared in his hand, and slashed towards Chen Xiao in the air.
"Qiang!"
There was a burst of fire, and Chen Xiao retreated backwards. There was a dull pain in the tiger's mouth. The other party's true energy was far superior to his own.
"Boy, if you give up this Tianxincao, I will consider saving your life."
After the man in gray finished speaking, the terrifying force of the seventh level of Qi gathering surged towards Chen Xiao like a tide.
"Don't even think about it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of fighting spirit swept across the sky. He discovered this Tianxin Grass first, and he was also the one who killed the saber-toothed tiger. The other party wanted to pick it up ready-made. How could there be such a good thing in the world.
Moreover, this Tianxin Grass is related to whether Chen Xiao can break through to the fifth level of Qi Gathering, and he must not let it go.
"If that's the case, then just die!"
The man in gray clothes raised the long knife in his hand, pulled out a sword flower, and drove straight in. His sword skills were extremely tricky.
Chen Xiao didn't dare to be careless and cut across with his long sword.
In an instant!
The two collided together, and all kinds of strange tricks emerged one after another.
Over the past year or so, Chen Xiao has experienced countless life-and-death fights and developed a set of killing swordsmanship.
The man in gray became more and more frightened as he fought. He was deeply shocked by Chen Xiao's swordsmanship and his fighting skills. This was definitely not what a small fourth-level Qi gatherer could do.
As you come and go, a series of clashing sounds of weapons continue to be heard in the woods. The ripples formed by the energy are like strong wind passing through, destroying the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
The two deliberately avoided the Tianxincao, and the Tianxincao has remained intact so far in the battle.
"Boy, your little fourth-level Qi gathering can actually withstand a hundred of my attacks without defeat. It's not easy."
The man in gray couldn't describe his mood at this moment, and the speed of his attack was even faster than before.
Chen Xiao was under a lot of pressure. He relied on his rich combat experience and golden energy to sustain him for so long. There was no way he could continue like this in the long run.
A look of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes. He didn't have much time. If he wanted to return to the Spirit Gathering Realm within a month, he would have to work countless times more than ordinary people.
With a sudden thought, the long sword suddenly made an extremely tricky angle. This was a killing move that he had learned over more than a year of life and death fighting.
The moment Chen Xiao raised his sword, the man in gray showed a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
The feeling was indescribable, like a ferocious beast suddenly awakening, opening its bloody mouth, and biting his head fiercely.
The Jiuxiao Zhentian Jue was running wildly, and the almost liquid golden energy was injected into the long sword along Chen Xiao's tendons.
The moment the golden true energy surged out, it was like sword rays shooting out in all directions. The man in gray's face suddenly changed. He had never seen such sharp sword energy.
The golden sword energy was indestructible. The moment it was used, all the leaves hovering around Chen Xiao turned into powder.
"Kill in all directions!"
Chen Xiao let out a sharp roar, and the long sword in his hand switched between horizontal and vertical crosses. It was a very strange swordsmanship that was unpredictable.
This swordsmanship was born out of the Five-Star Swordsmanship. Chen Xiao spent more than a year honing his skills and summed up this move.
The moment he cut it off, the man in gray retreated continuously. What he was afraid of was not this move. With his seventh-level Qi Gathering cultivation, he could completely break it.
What frightened him was the golden sword energy, which easily tore through his defense and swept forward with indomitable force.
He didn't have time to change his move, so he blocked the move with the long knife in his hand, trying to resolve the move.
"Crack!"
The moment it touched, the long knife split with a sound and was directly cut off by the golden sword energy. The sword energy still did not stop.
"not good!"
The man in gray clothes screamed and retreated continuously, far unable to match the speed of the sword energy.
Whether it was true energy or cultivation, he far surpassed Chen Xiao, but he was defeated by the golden sword energy.
"laugh!"
The golden sword energy tore open the body of the man in gray easily, and the blood was like a fountain, dyeing half of the sky red.
"ah!"
The shrill screams were heard far and wide. The left side of the man in gray's head was cut flat, and he looked miserable.
"While you are sick, I will kill you!"
Chen Xiao is definitely not a soft-hearted person. He knows very well that if the other party does not die, he will die.
The second sword appeared, continuous and still with golden sword energy.
After losing the long knife, the man in gray was like a tiger that had lost its sharp claws, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
"Die to me!"
The long sword turned into an arc and struck the man in gray on the neck, causing the remaining half of his head to fly up.
After killing the man in gray, Chen Xiao sat down on the ground.
The golden energy far exceeded his expectations, and its drawbacks were also obvious. After using two swords, the whole person was in a state of collapse.
After a brief rest, he quickly stood up and walked towards the Tianxin grass.
Pick the Tianxin grass and prepare to absorb and refine it.
He sat down cross-legged and used the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique. The terrifying suction force deprived him of all the spiritual energy around him.
"Buzz buzz..."
There were countless flies flying in a radius of one kilometer. This was the sound formed after the spiritual energy was compressed and gathered into a spiritual river, entrenched above Chen Xiao's head.
As long as Tianxin grass and saber-toothed tiger are refined, one can definitely break through to the fifth level of Qi gathering.
The Nine Heavens Divine Furnace made a violent roar, and the spiritual energy that came in was absorbed in one piece, but the amount of spiritual liquid fed back every time was pitiful.
The body of the man in gray lying in the distance shriveled up little by little, and all the essence in his body was stripped away by the Nine Heavens Divine Furnace.
Thousands of drops of spiritual liquid floated above the Nine Heavens Divine Furnace.
At this moment, most of the liquid was completely absorbed by the Nine Heavens Divine Furnace. Only a hundred drops of spiritual liquid was actually poured into Chen Xiao's dantian.
The Nine Heavens Divine Furnace absorbs more than a thousand drops of spiritual liquid, and releases a dark purple luster from it. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.
The luster gathered little by little, turning into hundreds of words and an image, appearing in the sky above the Nine Heavens Divine Furnace.
Chen Xiao devoted himself wholeheartedly to the breakthrough and had no time to care about anything else. His cultivation level increased steadily, and he soon broke through the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi gathering and headed straight for the fifth level.
