But at that moment, Jing Qu hurriedly protected his body with "Buddha's Light" and was not seriously injured.
He concentrated all his energy on the palm of his other hand and wanted to use a heavy blow to relieve the danger. Unexpectedly, Que Xiu did not let go or dodge, but instead met the blow with his chest. This palm hit his chest firmly, and blood spurted out from Que Xiu's mouth.
Yunyin stood up in shock, "You actually use the enemy's heavy blows to open up your own Dantian Qi and blood? You are scheming, courageous, and hateful enough!" Sure enough, Que Xiu's eyes were shining brightly, his hair was windless, and even his battle clothes were bulging. Lao Quetou knew that his disciple had activated the "First Level of Burning Soul", and victory or defeat depended on this move.
Seeing that his opponent's skill suddenly increased greatly, Jing Qu knew that the next move was not trivial. He suddenly raised the Emei Thorn with his moving hand, threw it out, and it turned into a stream of light and went straight to Que Xiu's chest.
But Que Xiu did not dodge, he raised his left arm to block, and at the same time rounded his right arm, Jing Qu's body flew up again, and with the force of the earth shattering, he hit it hard. The several-inch thick pine wood could not bear it. There was a series of explosions, and the arena roared. Half of it fell.
Everyone was shocked and fell into silence. When the dust and smoke cleared, they saw Que Xiu standing motionless, his left arm penetrated by the Emei thorn...
The host shouted loudly: Que Xiu wins this round.
Yun Yin lost his composure and stood still. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Lao Que's cold gaze. There was no surprise or joy. His eyes were distant and hard to guess.
Yunyin connected the previous doubts together. It turned out that throwing sandbags and lifting copper pots were all preset tactics. Clumsy overcomes cleverness, weak overcomes strong, every detail is under control, how meticulous is this thought? Why has such a powerful opponent remained silent for more than ten years? What is his real purpose?
Besides, when the master and apprentice returned from victory, Lao Que stretched out his index finger to diagnose his apprentice's pulse. "Fortunately, you have breathed out the 'Dharma Dust' every day for five years, and your inner abdomen is stronger than ordinary people, so you are not fatally injured when the 'Fragrance Dust' exploded. I'm really lucky!"
He then bandaged the wound on Que Xiu's arm. Que Xiu sat quietly, recited the "Requiem Mantra" silently, and gradually recovered. "Master, who will I fight next?"
Lao Que looked gloomy, "Among the top four, you will face Zhang Danli from the Tianshi sect. He has practiced 'Innate Gangqi' since he was a child. He is quite solid in both magic and martial arts. He is a rising star in the world as famous as Murong Qingtian. I really can't think of any weaknesses in him."
"Is he really that powerful?"
"Your skill comes from quick success. In fact, it is just opportunistic. When you meet a real master, your flaws will be exposed and you will have no chance of winning. Because what you lack is not talent, but time."
Hearing what Master said, Que Xiu's mood turned to depression. Lao Que sighed softly: "Perhaps my teacher's expectations for you are too high and beyond human control. It's time to stop!"
"Master, you taught me to reach the top and win respect for us. Did you forget it so quickly? I will never give up! Didn't you say there is a 'killer'? Teach it to me quickly."
Lao Que looked confused and hesitated, "This is too dangerous. I don't want you to be in danger!"
"I'm not afraid of danger. As long as I can become stronger, I'm willing to pay any price."
No matter how much he begged, Lao Que remained unmoved, "You should heal your wounds first, and as a teacher, you must think carefully."
As the night fell, the master and the apprentice were meditating across from each other. Lao Que was calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent and he could not be calm. Que Xiu looked at him furtively from time to time, still thinking about how to convince his master.
The third watch drum sounded outside the window. Que Xiu couldn't bear it any longer. He turned over and jumped up, "Master, it's already the third watch. If you don't show your trump card, tomorrow I will be completely defeated and die a terrible death!"
Lao Que opened his eyelids slowly and said in a calm voice, "Have you really thought about it, even if you lose your life, you will not hesitate to destroy both body and soul?" The addition of "both body and soul" in the last sentence surprised Que Xiu. Unexpected, but he still nodded decisively.
"Since you are so determined, I will tell you everything. Do you know why Murong Villa was built here?"
"I heard that because of the beautiful scenery of Songyue Mountain, the spiritual energy is overflowing!"
"That's just high-sounding rhetoric. In fact, they are trying to keep a secret." Upon hearing the word secret, Que Xiu immediately became energetic.
"The world is divided into six realms, the world of gods, immortals, demons, monsters, humans and the underworld. The six realms are connected and endless. In Songyue Lake behind Murong Villa, there is an exit to the demon world. The Murong family wants to guard this exit. ."
"But what does this have to do with us?"
"Usually, gods, immortals and demons are called the upper three realms, and demons and underworld people are called the lower three realms. As a practitioner, being able to absorb spiritual energy in the upper three realms is a shortcut to practice, so many people are looking for the entrance to the upper three realms."
Que Xiu suddenly realized, "Master wants me to find a way to enter the demon world to practice? But it's too late?"
"Songyue Lake is the 'Gen' of the six major exits of the Demon Realm. It is said that this exit is guarded by the ancient divine beast 'Gen'. This beast is ten feet tall and has a human face with three eyes. It faces away from the exit and cannot turn its head, so it is easy to enter the Demon Realm. It’s hard to figure it out.”
"The 'Gen' beast does not eat humans, it only eats souls. It is very strange there. No one knows how life reincarnates. It is said that there is a magic medicine that can bring people back to life; time is still, there is no sunrise or sunset, and there is no change of seasons. How much have you gone through, if you can come out, the time will still be now, which can just make up for the time you lost!"
"Since your life is not in danger and you can gain time, why are you hesitating?"
"Fool, if you want such a good thing, why don't you squeeze your head out? Although you won't die, you will have to experience the pain and despair of death countless times, which is comparable to hell. You will also experience endless loneliness and loneliness. , many people cannot survive this test, and their meridians are extinguished, becoming souls of despair, and are eventually devoured by the 'Gen' beast, destroying both body and soul."
"Believe me, Master, I will definitely get through this."
"The hardest thing is that you may never be able to escape. The 'Gen' beast has three eyes, and one of its eyes is wide open even when sleeping. You have no chance to deceive its eyes. It is said that only people go in and no one comes out!"
Que Xiu was silent for a moment, and then he became passionate again, "Then I will practice hard, defeat it, and kill it!"
Lao Que nodded, "He is indeed a good man, with extraordinary courage and wisdom. He will either be brilliant or perish. Well, I will also use my cultivation to open the door to the devil's world for you!"
The two set off immediately, walking under the moonlight and starlight, to Songyue Lake in the back mountain. This was actually a pool where streams gathered on the mountainside. The water surface was quiet and reflected tiny bits of light.
"The door to the devil's world is in the middle of the lake. The Murong family has imposed a very strong seal. I will try my best to open it for my master. I want to tell you first that there is a dangerous place inside. You must visit it every day. It is under a cliff. , every day, swarms of demon red fire bats return to the cave, pouring from top to bottom like a black and red waterfall. Only when you are in it, and experience the painful training of blood and fire, can you achieve great success."
