Ma Yuhong was defeated. This was a bolt from the blue that struck all the Ma family members. His reputation as the invincible among his peers became a joke. He locked himself in the room and refused to show up to anyone.
Ma Guanzheng did not jump up and down as furiously as before. He was surprisingly calm, and everyone in the Ma family knew that Ma Guanzheng was really murderous.
In the evening of that day, Sun Zikai was named and assigned a task. The task that he should not have done was deducted from the clan leader's seal and was forcibly placed on him across the hierarchy.
The task was supposed to be done by the strongest disciple of the new generation, Ma Yuhong, who was required to rush to Duoer Lake, 700 miles away, to meet with the strongest disciples of his generation from the Tianyao Sect, the Chixi Sect, the Dongchen Sect, and the Five Angers Sect. And work together to kill the monster Ghost Horned Rhinoceros in the Xia Ke Mountains on the shores of Lake Dole.
With the combined efforts of disciples from the five directions, this task is not difficult, not to mention that a senior elder from the Chixi Sect will lead the team for protection. It can be regarded as a trial and an opportunity for each sect to give their disciples a chance to get to know each other.
Ma Dairan and Ma Guanzheng found Cui Qingrui. They understood that since Ma Yuhong was defeated by Sun Zikai, he was no longer qualified to perform this task. They strongly recommended Sun Zikai to represent the sect.
Under pressure from the Ma family, Cui Qingrui agreed. Fu Zhe begged Cui Qingrui for a whole night. Everyone understood what would happen once Sun Zikai left the sect during the seven hundred-mile journey. Even if he arrived at Duoer Lake intact, because he did not participate in the last sect disciples, During the meeting, Sun Zikai is likely to be isolated, which is detrimental to the subsequent battle.
Sun Zikai was called to Cui Qingrui and Fu Zhe that night. Contrary to the worries of those two people, Sun Zikai seemed very excited. Compared with the Ma family, he was more eager to get the opportunity to be alone or fight with the Ma family. He did not listen to Fu Zhe and Cui Qingrui's escape ideas and resolutely accepted the task.
The meeting was scheduled for ten days later. Since Sun Zikai did not have a wealthy family like the Ma family and could only afford one horse, he had to set off as soon as possible, stopping and stopping along the way, and he could barely reach his destination within the deadline. land.
That night Fu Zhe, Wu Lanmu, and Cui Qingrui gathered together to think about countermeasures, but Sun Zikai did not say hello to anyone. He only met Jiang Yujin once, and secretly set off under the cover of night. After leaving the sect, he followed the map and traces. Set off on the road on horseback.
The Ma family has laid a tight surveillance network on Sun Zikai. Even if he sneaks away at night, his every move is still under the control of the Ma family.
Sun Zikai walked quickly for thirty miles, and he could always feel someone following him closely. He stopped, tied the horse to a tree, dispersed all his aura, and hid in the darkness.
After a while, two figures appeared. One of them touched the horse's back and said, "Why did you suddenly lose your breath?"
Another person said: "This kid has a ghostly appearance and is not a good person. The third master has given orders to kill him thirty miles away. Look for him and kill him quickly to avoid future troubles."
A cold light flashed, and a human head flew up and landed in the hands of another person.
Only then did blood spurt out from the fracture, and the hot blood sprinkled on the man's body, gradually awakening his consciousness that had been unable to recover for a long time.
"Who!" the man shouted into the darkness.
He immediately condensed spiritual energy to create light, but the light was immediately swallowed up and disappeared from its birth. He tried again and again, but the darkness was getting closer and closer to him.
After experiencing the essence of the sun for three times, Sun Zikai finally figured out the effect of this essence. He can reversely gather light and temperature, causing the surroundings to fall into darkness and cold. This ability was simply tailor-made for him. The devil in the darkness left no trace, and the breath of fear quietly filled the air.
The fear that the Ma family member felt became more and more intense. It was too dark in front of him, and the strange darkness seemed to foreshadow his end.
"Who is it! Who are you!" The man panicked and his heart beat violently. Of course he didn't think that this would be something that a brat who had practiced Qi for a while could do. "Your Excellency, do you want to save that kid's life? It's easy to say, I will leave on my own. Please give me Yanming Zong Ma's face!"
A ghostly voice came from the darkness, "Ma family? Hehe hehe... Do you want to live?"
The man in fear forgot to resist and said, "Think about your conditions."
"Your life is exchanged for the lives of three Ma family members. Tell me, who are those three people who deserve to be killed? Where are they?"
"Huh?" The man was confused and didn't understand what Sun Zikai meant. But in an instant, he suddenly felt a coolness on his right side. He turned around and saw darkness. When he reached out and touched it, he realized that his right arm had been chopped off. Falling, he seemed to have lost all his strength, his spiritual energy was drained completely, his organs were weakened due to the loss of vitality, and as he grew older, his physical aging brought him greater fear in the face of darkness and death. .
"Brother, spare me, spare me." The man begged bitterly, "I am also acting under orders. I won't kill the child, so please let me go."
The voice in the darkness was a little hoarse, "Three Ma family members, in exchange for your life, one last chance, hum hum hum…"
"Okay..." The man said three names casually, and upon request, revealed their identities and locations.
Sun Zikai said jokingly: "Congratulations, lucky man, you can live on."
The darkness gradually dissipated, and Sun Zikai took advantage of the wind to fly into the sky. The man saw the black shadow in the sky and said in fear: "A strong man of golden elixir?"
There was no trace of spiritual energy in him, and he returned to the sect quietly, suppressing his energy to the lowest level, and slowing down his breathing dozens of times. In the dark night, he was invisible.
One, two, when killing the third Ma family member, he still gave that person a chance to live. In this way, that person survived, but three more Ma family members were sentenced to death.
Fu Zhe had already fallen asleep. He had a dream. He dreamed of the child covered in blood, licking the blade of the knife and asking himself if he could kill another one. He woke up with a start, got out of bed, and opened the window. There was clearly a moon tonight, but where was the moonlight? All he could see was darkness, darkness that was palpable.
A pair of feet tapped the ground gently, and the door was slowly pushed open. Ma Dairan opened his eyes. He glanced at the door. He didn't have the habit of locking the door, but no one dared to knock on his door at night. .
"Is it the wind?" Ma Dairan didn't feel any breath or see any figure. After a few breaths, a wisp of wind blew on his face. He lay down and fell asleep again.
A human head was gently placed on his pillow, then the second, the third... the ninth, the tenth...
"Who!" Ma Dairan woke up and immediately sat up. He blew out a burst of spiritual light. The scene on the bed chilled him to the bone. Ten blood heads with their eyes open were scattered on the quilt.
At the same time, Ma Dairan felt a super powerful spiritual body. The amount of spiritual energy far exceeded that of the Golden Core Realm. Even Cui Qingrui was far behind in that level of spiritual energy.
The moonlight finally came through, and Ma Dairan saw a "ghost". It was wrapped in a black robe and had no legs visible. It was floating in the house like an evil spirit.
Sun Zikai gathered the energy he had accumulated over the years and converted it into spiritual energy at high speed to form a cycle. It felt like a huge amount of spiritual energy reaction, which made Ma Dairan mistakenly think that he was a strong person in the super golden elixir realm. In fact, he couldn't hold on. How long, and once Ma Dairan takes action, he will immediately reveal his secret. He could just like Killing Baizhu, swallowing energy and life, killing him with one blow, but he insists on keeping Ma Dairan and Ma Guanzheng until the end, letting them Gradually collapse and wither in fear.
In fear, Ma Dairan did not dare to take action. He recognized the head on the bed as one of his own, and asked in a low voice: "Who are you? You have a grudge against my Ma family?"
Sun Zikai used energy to change his voice and replied: "Wu Qiu, but you offended my disciple."
"who?"
"What do you think?" Two more heads floated up from the ghost's side and hit the table heavily.
Ma Dairan recognized one of them as the person he sent to kill Sun Zikai.
"Fu Zhe! No..." How could this person be the loser Fu Zhe? Ma Dairan finally realized that there was a reason why Sun Zikai could kill thousands of people at such a young age and defeated Ma Yuhong with one move, "Sun Zikai is your apprentice. ?”
"Yes, hehehe, you seem to have attacked him many times."
"You're Baizhu! No..." Cold sweat covered Ma Dairan's back. The spiritual energy on this ghost was still increasing. What state was he in?
"Bai Zhu? You said that useless idiot, hehehe, it's easier to kill him than to kill a pig."
"Did you kill Baizhu?" Ma Dairan quickly sifted through the golden elixir realm strongmen in each sect in his mind, but there was no one with the aura like this guy. He was not from this domain, but an outsider.
Sun Zikai understood that his current spiritual energy had been sensed by Cui Qingrui and the elders of the sect, and he had to leave.
The ghost slowly approached, and Ma Dairan's spiritual energy burst out, shouting: "What do you want to do!"
Unexpectedly, his spiritual energy slowly dissipated and was perceptibly sucked into the ghost body. Ma Dairan soon felt tired. He was shocked and said: "What kind of technique are you doing? Who are you?"
"Hmph, stay away from my disciple. If I find you attacking him again, I will kill everyone related to you. It's useless for that old guy Cui Qingrui to stop me. I'll kill him too. My disciple, he just wants to escape from me, but he can't escape. I will follow him to the end of the world, hehehehe..."
Darkness shrouded the ghost again, the moonlight disappeared, and the ghost's aura also disappeared. In fact, Sun Zikai couldn't hold on any longer and took this opportunity to escape.
He floated in the air, moved like a sneak, floated towards the door, and soon merged into the night.
A dozen breaths later, Cui Qingrui and all the sect masters and elders arrived.
Cui Qingrui was very afraid of that powerful spiritual energy. He called out twice in a low voice and asked: "Brother Ma, are you asleep?"
After a long time, Ma Dairan's voice came from the house, and he replied: "Sleep, Sect Master, why are they all gathered outside my door? It's getting late, everyone should go back. We can discuss anything in the morning."
Cui Qingrui didn't want to leave, but he was curious as to why the aura disappeared just now. This advanced concealment method exceeded his own knowledge. Who was it? Did the Ma family win over or train anyone else?
If this matter is not clarified, Cui Qingrui will not be able to sleep tonight.
Ma Dairan never wanted to show up, so he only let Ma Guanzheng in.
After Ma Guanzheng entered, the room was surprisingly quiet. Cui Qingrui called a few more times, and then he called him out after dozens of breaths.
Ma Guan, who walked out of the house, had a face as white as wax, and his expression was in a trance, showing a bit of panic. He said, "My brother is sleepy. Go back. We'll talk about anything in the morning."
Cui Qingrui was reluctant and insisted on going in to take a look. Ma Dairan said: "Sect Master, it's late at night, you are trying to break into my door."
Cui Qingrui was silent for a long time, and then replied: "It's nothing. Brother, you should go to bed early. We will talk about it tomorrow."
After sending everyone away, Ma Guanzheng returned to the house. Twelve human heads were scattered around the bed and on the table, which was shocking.
After learning what happened, Ma Guanzheng felt a chill in his heart. He said anxiously: "Brother, where did this guy come from?"
Ma Dairan also figured it out and replied: "Eighty percent of them are from outside. They have been staying outside Linghou Pass and took that boy Sun Zikai as their disciple. That's why he was so strong and killed thousands of people. He must have been too mentally twisted. He was so powerful that he scared Sun Zikai away and entered the Yanming Sect. He also followed him and killed anyone who attacked Sun Zikai. He also killed Baizhu. He is very strong, stronger than any of us."
"Then...should we still kill that kid?"
Ma Dairan glared at him angrily and replied: "Call the person back quickly. Don't attack him for the time being. I have to find out the details of that person first."
"Okay, okay..." Ma Guanzheng was also scared and couldn't wait to leave the room full of heads.
Cui Qingrui was silent on the way back, and Fu Zhe whispered: "Sect Master, when Ma Guanzheng came out, there was blood on his body."
Wu Lanmu said: "There was a lot of blood in the room. Although he was on guard, I could smell it. Could it be that the old man was practicing some evil magic?"
Fu Zhe guessed: "Maybe he is making a breakthrough, but it's a pity that he failed."
Cui Qingrui flew to his house without saying a word. Fu Zhe and Wu Lanmu had to disperse. Cui Qingrui didn't sleep that night.
