In the cave where the team gathered before.
"Bang!"
After struggling to control the spiritual energy to put down several corpses, Brother Zhu's spiritual energy was almost completely exhausted.
He put Jiang Yun on his shoulder on the ground. He was holding Jiang Yun's sword in his left hand. He glanced at the comrades in a row in silence. His eyes were not red. He pursed his lips and noticed There was a reply from the telegraph talisman.
It said to let him rest where he was, saying that he had worked hard this time, and so on. It also explained that they were not the only ones this time. The Three Great Battles seemed to be deliberately setting off bait. Many teams encountered powerful monks. , Snow Lotus seems to have been severely injured, the three major battles are simply arranged point to point, and they are directly put in to eliminate one by one.
Finally, there are some polite words to compensate the deceased Taoist friends and relatives, and to bless or extradite the soul of the deceased.
Brother Zhu shook his head and placed the corpses of Scarface and Sword Xiu Yanqing in front of several comrades. He did not touch any of the storage devices on the two corpses. Even though his own storage devices were seriously damaged, most of them They all exploded and he didn't want to touch them.
He deserved what his brothers had sacrificed their lives for.
"Jiang Yun...."
Looking at Jiang Yun's face, Brother Zhu took off his mask. If Jiang Yun could see this face, he would definitely think of him. In addition to meeting the disciples of the Zhuge family in Bloodthirsty, he was also rescued by a disciple of the Zhuge family during the first battle, his name was... Zhuge Tuo!
At this time, Jiang Yun fell into a coma, and his consciousness was vaguely fused with the sword soul.
He vaguely felt that he had become a sword soul, but the beginning of this memory was incomplete like a blood soul. He appeared in a deep mountain, but he didn't know why he appeared here, and he began to be confused. During his search, he encountered casual cultivators or demon cultivators who wanted to kill him along the way, but they were all killed by him with a casual sword.
In his memory, there were two sword moves.
One is called "True Self Sword Judgment" and the other is called Silver Light Falling Blade.
These two sword moves are unique to oneself, and only one's own "Tao" can use the powerful power of the sword moves. Among them, "True Self Sword Judgment" has many moves. After using them, there are few opponents in the same realm. However, the Silver Light Falling Blade is different. This move seems to be understood by me at a certain moment of fighting with others. This move can transcend realms. , use all your strength to kill the opponent, even if the opponent is in the infant spirit stage, he will become a dead soul under the sword with this move.
Later, he met Mei Mingxu, a young man who came to the valley to practice swordsmanship. He entered his body and could have taken his body directly. However, at the moment when his body was taken away, this boy threatened himself, saying that he was from the Third Great Academy. If you go missing, you will be in trouble. I am willing to cooperate with myself and help me obtain a new body to seize the body.
So the two parties reached a cooperation.
With his own guidance, Mei Mingxu made rapid progress and soon reached the forefront of the sword academy, even ranking among the top three for a time. However, Mei Mingxu himself knew that the talents of the other two were really strong, and his strength relied more on his own sword moves.
During the life and death battles and experiences, Mei Mingxu became more and more defensive and exploitative of himself, and had long forgotten his promise to help him find a body.
He controlled the use of "True Self Sword Art" and even wanted to seize this guy directly. Unexpectedly, this guy actually asked his dean to help him seal himself. He forced himself to hand over everything that followed "True Self Sword Judgment", and the two sides were in a stalemate for a long time.
Until that day in the depths of Qiandao Lake, he asked himself to seize the body of a man named Jiang Yun. He also made himself swear that as long as he was willing to take Jiang Yun away after seizing his body, he would unlock the seal and let himself go. Go out and seize the house.
Then... things developed into what they are now.
"Hmm~"
Jiang Yun finally opened his tired eyes leisurely and felt a pain in his brain. He subconsciously looked around, but not only did he not find a single figure, he also found several small mounds of soil nearby. In front of the mound... there are two kneeling corpses!
"what?"
He was startled suddenly and wanted to get up, but the pain all over his body made him grin.
It hurts so much!
His whole body felt as if it was going to explode, and every muscle was in unbearable pain. It immediately took him back to the time when he was struck by lightning and was practicing the Five Thunder Body.
It wasn't until he sat up with difficulty that he slowly looked around.
"Array spirit, what happened? Where am I? Where are Scarface and my teammates?" He asked in the sea of consciousness.
"Master, except for Brother Zhu, all your teammates died in the battle. Scarface and Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator are also dead." The formation spirit said, "Brother Zhu brought you to the cave before. You have been unconscious for nearly an hour and half. Hours ago, Brother Zhu received a message that asked him to go to a certain place for support, so he left. Before leaving, he left you a jade slip and said something. You can read it yourself. "
Jiang Yun did not rush to look at the jade slips at hand, but turned to look at the small mounds, "They..."
Are they all dead?
Didn’t he fight Scarface to the death? Is there one Nascent Soul cultivator left that hasn’t been dealt with? The dagger and the mage were killed by him?
"What's going on?" Jiang Yun felt a little confused. He was obviously a teammate who fought side by side, but he died like this. The last time he encountered this kind of thing was when he first led the team in Wushen City, and Zhou Shihao died like that. Lost, now that Zhou Hongyun is being taken care of by someone he has arranged for, he is finally willing to live a carefree and peaceful life.
Why...three more comrades died?
"After all, you only have the strength of the early stage of Nascent Soul. Even if the sword soul tried its best to erupt with the falling silver blade, it still failed to kill Scarface. Fortunately, the sword energy arranged exploded in his body, and the Queen Bee let the Shadowless Bee use a The Lightning Formation took care of Scarface. As for the short sword girl, she was killed in the same battle as the sword cultivator."
The formation spirit briefly told the general situation, including the affairs of the Zhuge family.
Jiang Yun opened his mouth. After all, he quickly got used to the separation between life and death. He silently picked up the jade slip at hand.
"Fellow Taoist Jiang Yun, I am Brother Zhu. You can also call me by my original name, Zhuge Tuo." When he saw the figure in the jade slip, he immediately recognized this person. Zhuge was the one who saved his life. Tuo!
I remember that the Blood Blade captain said that he was a traitor to the Zhuge family or something.
"I wanted to wait until you woke up before saying thank you, but there was an order from above that I was needed to provide support in an emergency, so I had to leave. I have reported this action truthfully, and I believe that the higher ups will express their gratitude to fellow Taoists. The power of the infant spirit stage is as insurmountable as the chasm. I was still too arrogant to think that I could stop him, but I didn't expect that I was almost wiped out. My sincere thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have escaped death."
"I have buried the corpses of three teammates, and I have not touched anything on them. I asked the corpses of two enemies to confess to my teammates. I am not qualified to take the storage spiritual weapons on them. Their lives are given by fellow Taoists. Mine is all given to fellow Daoist Jiang, so I hope you won’t refuse. If it weren’t for your shocking sword, we might not even have a chance to survive.”
"Fellow Taoist, rest in peace and recover. When the mission is over, the person responsible for picking you up will come here to pick you up. Don't worry. I will help keep all your information confidential. I wish you, Taoist, a smooth career in the future and unparalleled success in the world."
"Zhuge Tuoliu."
Putting down the jade slip, Jiang Yun murmured, "You are not qualified to take it. Am I qualified? My teammates' lives are gone. How can I, Jiang Yun, be such a villain?"
As he spoke, he picked up two storage artifacts, staggered forward, and gently inserted the two items into the middle of the tombs of the three teammates.
"Master, why don't you give the body of this sword cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage to the sword soul?" the formation spirit asked.
"No need." Jiang Yun shook his head, "When I reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, I can let him directly occupy Mei Mingxu's body. This person's body needs to be kneeled to my three teammates to repent, and it cannot be used."
"Oh..." The formation spirit just said it, and naturally did not refute if it was rejected.
"Hi~ah!"
Jiang Yun, who was sorely hurt by his body, lay helplessly on the ground, screamed a few times and said, "I can't stand it anymore, why does it hurt so much!"
It’s just that all the spiritual energy and soul power in the body are exhausted, but the pain in the muscles of the body is unbearable.
His body has been tempered by the Five Thunder Barbarian Body, and every time he crosses a realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will nourish his body and make him stronger. He has not experienced this kind of extreme muscle pain for a long time.
"I have to rest for a few days."
"Master." The formation spirit explained, "Because your body is not strong enough, the load still causes great damage to your body, and even the backlash of the sword energy hurts your internal organs and muscles. The injuries in these places are comparable to those of the soul." The recovery of your spiritual energy is even slower. Your spiritual energy may be able to recover in a while, but the power of your soul will take at least three to five days, and the sword energy injuries to your muscles and internal organs will take less than half a month."
Jiang Yun looked weakly at the sky above the empty cave. The three small tombs beside him were silent and silent. The two corpses were like devout believers kneeling before their gods. This scene looked extremely absurd and weird.
well!
He sighed. A day ago, they were still talking and laughing here, and went out to practice their cooperation. In the blink of an eye, they were separated from each other. Although no one knew each other, there was still a trace of sadness about the loss of life.
"Life...will ultimately be ashes to ashes, dust to dust?"
All prosperity will eventually pass away, and what is left behind is a wisp of withered bones in the loess?
"If life is born from the soil and falls on the soil, then is the soil the direction of life?" Gradually, Jiang Yun closed his eyes, and he quietly controlled himself without thinking about anything, just like himself at this moment, It also turned into a corpse in the soil, gradually decaying and becoming nutrients for the earth...
"nutrient?"
He suddenly opened his eyes. After death, the soul returns to the netherworld and the body returns to the loess. But is life over? For humans, life has come to an end, but for the earth, life has just transformed into another form and melted into the soil to support other lives, ranging from trees and everything to small insects.
"That's right, the meaning of life in soil is this!"
His whole body was pressed against the ground, and the brown color of the spleen soil in the center of his body continued to brighten rapidly. At the same time, there seemed to be some life factors in the earth injected into his body under the guidance of Jiang Yun's "Tao", nourishing his sea of consciousness, nourishing his Dantian, and repairing his injured muscles, internal organs and organs.
He closed his eyes, and the earth was like his mother giving him the first life at this moment.
At a certain moment, in addition to Lung Metal, the other four life elements in his heart shone brightly, and rich vitality emanated from his heart. This illusory child seemed to be turning into a real baby in the next moment, like a Nascent Soul. Start growing! But in the end, there was still no way to break through the last step.
But it's enough, because...the soil of life is completed!
"It's not bad, the speed is still a bit slow..." The formation spirit muttered in his sea of consciousness, "The master is still not as good as the monster in the previous life, but if he works steadily, he will eventually succeed."
