Chapter 255: Secretly assassinating Chen Cang
It seems that those who took away the Gengjin Essence must be a group of foundation-building stages, and these cultivators who suddenly appeared quickly passed by with their swords.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that their consciousness did not detect any suspicious people around.
Seeing them flying away, Su Yulang subconsciously wanted to ask, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Ziyi reached out to cover it. Su Ziyi looked at Su Yulang solemnly, shook his head gently, and finally raised the index finger of his free hand in front of his lips to signal Su Yulang to stop talking for the time being.
Su Yulang nodded, and when Su Ziyi let go of his hand and pressed his lips tightly, his whole body was pressed against the big rock beside him.
After a while, another series of cultivators passed by with swords above their heads, hurriedly chasing the people in front. After they all passed by, and no cultivator appeared within the next incense stick, Su Ziyi's originally tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
"It's not good." Just in case, Su Ziyi chose to use his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice.
"This direction is the direction of the Monster Mountain Range." At this time, Su Ziyi still didn't know that these people appeared for the Gengjin Essence. After all, when he got the Wutu Essence last year, he didn't make any commotion: "They There are too many people. If their destination is the same as ours, we will definitely meet them in the Monster Mountains, and it will be bad then." "Even if we have the help of the Five Elements Essence, we will not be able to collect spiritual objects and fight with them
. Monsters will make noises when fighting, and once these people discover the noise, then..." Needless to say, Bian Qing and Su Yulang both understood the following words, and the color in their eyes became extremely solemn. When I got up, I think I fully understood the seriousness of the matter.
When these words were introduced into the two people's consciousness, Su Ziyi raised his eyelids and looked in other directions. At the same time, he quickly turned his mind, trying to find another way in the shortest time.
"We can't go to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range."
"Let's just go around in a circle and go directly to the area behind the Demonic Beast Mountain Range." Su Ziyi made the decision for the three of them without much hesitation. As for his decision, Bian Qing and Su Yulang were both unconvinced. After all, they believed that Su Ziyi's judgment was carefully considered.
Immediately, they adjusted their route and headed in the direction Su Ziyi said.
However, after they walked that way for about two quarters of an hour, Su Ziyi keenly noticed something was wrong. He quickly pulled Bian Qing and Su Yulang to lie down on the ground, motionless. Looking down from a high place, because the color of the mud on their bodies is similar to that of the ground, they seem to be integrated and difficult to distinguish.
And not long after they had climbed, there was a sound of breaking through the air from directly in front.
That was the sound of the sword.
"Don't move." Seeing the little black dot getting closer and closer at the end of the sky, Su Ziyi quickly reminded the two of them with his spiritual consciousness.
Not many people showed up this time, only two people. It's just that the faces of these two people are not very good-looking. Although they are very fast, they have been scanning every inch of the surrounding land with their spiritual consciousness. Lying on the ground, Su Ziyi and the others could feel two very strong spiritual consciousnesses sweeping over their bodies, and then pushed back after finding nothing.
Just as the two men were preparing to control their swords and continue flying towards the path Su Ziyi and the others came from, several more foundation-building cultivators flew in from the other direction.
Those few people also scanned this piece of land with their spiritual consciousness. As soon as the somewhat familiar consciousness touched them, Su Ziyi immediately recognized that they were some of the cultivators who had flown to the Monster Mountain Range before.
But why do these people suddenly appear here again?
The two groups of people met in the sky and finally exchanged news with each other. But because the distance was too far, Su Ziyi and the others didn't know what they were talking about. He only saw the two groups of people talking for a while, then hurriedly flew away, flying towards the route the other party came from, as if they had exchanged inspection areas.
Seeing this, Su Ziyi immediately understood that this group of people should be looking for something or someone.
Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out where this group of people came from with such a cautious attitude.
But, what are these people looking for?
Even though they are far apart, it can be seen from the color of their clothes that these two groups of people are not from the same force. Unless they are families led by the same super family, they cannot be so harmonious. And since there are so many powerful people, and they are still here in the black wasteland, it seems that what they are looking for is something unusual.
Although it was only vaguely, Su Ziyi felt that the other party was looking for Geng Jin's essence.
This guess may not be correct, but it made Su Ziyi subconsciously feel a sense of crisis. He could imagine from the attitudes of these two groups of people that the area was probably surrounded by such foundation-building practitioners from all directions at this time. These people didn't care about the passage of time at all, and just wanted to dig three holes into the ground here. Use the ruler to find out what you want.
Therefore, it may be a little difficult for them to leave this time.
After the two groups of people left, Su Ziyi passed his conjecture to the two of them with his spiritual consciousness. Although Bian Qing and Su Yulang saw less than him, they were even more certain that these people were looking for the Geng Jin Essence.
But regardless of whether it was true or not, they could only bite the bullet and move forward now.
After all, if you change the direction, you don't know how many people are there. It's better to just follow a path and walk forward. As long as you are careful, they can slip away from the opponent's encirclement.
Therefore, on the next road, they acted more cautiously and tried to choose a covered road.
As we walked further, the changes in the surrounding area also became greater. The color of the black wasteland began to fade, and the colors on their bodies looked a little out of place. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party due to this error, they tried their best to choose roads with stone cover, but this still made the route a little off. .
After they met three different waves of patrollers, Su Ziyi was a little confused about which direction they were walking. The only thing that's certain is that they haven't left each other's patrol range yet.
The three people squeezed tightly under a light brown stone that was no more than half a person's height, holding their breath and minimizing their presence as much as possible. And in the sky behind and in front of them, there are two foundation-building cultivators flying in mid-air with swords. Unlike the previous patrols, although this cultivator is also flying, he is always only within a fixed range. Wandering around inside, there was no intention of leaving this area.
As for why?
Because ten miles ahead behind him was a swamp with lush water and grass, connected to a large mountain in the distance. There was no need to get too close, just from Su Ziyi's position, they could catch a glimpse of the outline of the mountain and a hint of green.
Therefore, this location is at the junction of the black wasteland and the swamp area. How could the family not send people to guard it?
The cultivation level of this cultivator stationed there is not very high. Like Su Ziyi, he is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. However, they had magic jade pendants that could communicate with each other, so Su Ziyi did not dare to move at all, so he had to hide here with Bian Qing and Su Yulang, waiting for this person to leave on his own initiative.
It's just that this time the other party made such a big noise, so naturally they won't give up easily.
Su Ziyi and the others sat from dusk to dusk, and from dusk to the moonlight, but the foundation-building cultivator was always wandering around here tirelessly, his sharp eyes staring at the ground, even for a moment. Not even a fly would be spared. This brought great obstacles to Su Ziyi and the others. Not to mention hunger, thirst and fatigue, the water on the light stasis mud evaporated, and the stasis mud gradually began to lose its effect of masking the breath.
Su Ziyi's heart sank when he caught sight of the mud that had begun to form on his clothes from the corner of his eye.
He tilted his head and exchanged a look with Bian Qing, then quietly leaned against the stone and looked behind him, wanting to see how far away they were from the boundary.
But the night was too dark and they couldn't see anything.
what to do?
Turning back and looking at Bian Qing, Su Ziyi read these four words from his eyes.
Leaning against the stone, Su Ziyi closed his eyes.
The effect of the stasis mud has begun to fade. If they want to use the essence of the Five Elements to replenish it, the fluctuations in spiritual power will inevitably alarm the opponent. And if they don't repair it, when the stasis mud completely loses its effect, the opponent will still be able to discover them... As for retreating or advancing under the night? Looking at the cold moonlight in the sky, I knew it wouldn't work, there would be shadows.
Therefore, it seems that they only have the option to fight hard with each other.
Opening his eyes suddenly, Su Ziyi made a choice in his mind. And at the moment when his body was completely tense, Bian Qing seemed to understand his decision. He stretched out his hand to grab Su Ziyi and look him in the eye. Then he shook his head nervously, signaling Su Ziyi not to act rashly. After all, people from aristocratic families are not vegetarians.
"But we have no other way to go except this way." Su Ziyi sent a message to him.
After receiving these words, Bian Qing fell silent and relaxed his hold on Su Ziyi.
"I'll distract him later, and you and Yulang will rush towards the other side quickly." This time, Su Ziyi's message was for the two of them: "Yulang, you have to follow your mother closely. I will Try to delay the other party for a stick of incense. After one stick of incense, I will go around a little distance and leave in another direction. Then I will come to find you." At the end, he touched Su Yulang's head: "Yulang, do you still remember
? When we were in Luoshan Village, we made those path-finding marks in the mountains." "
It's the same this time."
After explaining this, Su Ziyi hunched over and left the rock where they were. He was extremely fast and ran to another smaller stone in the blink of an eye. When the foundation-building cultivator in the sky noticed his whereabouts, he was already only fifty feet away from him, and when the other party reacted Before that, he ran away in another direction.
The other party also moved immediately.
Su Ziyi actually wanted to leave with the sword at the first moment, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched nothing. Then he remembered that when he was looking for Bian Qing and Su Yulang, he threw the flying sword away because he was too excited. Lost it. So, he had no choice but to move his legs and run quickly.
And his approach also slightly confused the other party.
Unable to detect Su Ziyi's strength with his spiritual sense, the cultivator thought that Su Ziyi was just a Qi-refining period cultivator with a little heresy, so the man holding the messenger jade pendant paused, and then he chased Su Ziyi with his sword. come over. His speed was extremely fast, and he immediately closed the distance with Su Ziyi. When he approached Su Ziyi, he swung his long sword, intending to kill Su Ziyi directly with a sword light.
But Su Ziyi was prepared.
The moment he heard the fluctuation of spiritual power behind him, he kicked off his legs and jumped up into the air, using the power of his heels to draw an arc in the air. When the opponent's sword moves and people were rushing forward, He used his strength to jump behind the man. And before the opponent had time to turn around, a long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, and the sword move carried a heavy murderous aura and struck directly at the opponent's back!
The fierce murderous aura immediately made the other party realize that Su Ziyi was definitely not a practitioner in the Qi refining stage, but a foundation-building practitioner like him!
He cursed this man for being cunning in his heart, but he had to gather his spiritual energy to resist the opponent's move. However, the Zhiyi Sword Technique practiced by Su Ziyi was not an ordinary one, so this man had to gather nearly six layers of spiritual shield behind his back to barely block Su Ziyi's move. This caused nearly 20% of the spiritual power in his body to be consumed in an instant, and he suddenly became anxious and angry.
After realizing that Su Ziyi was cunning, the man no longer hesitated and reached out to take out the jade pendant to send a message.
But how could Su Ziyi give him a chance?
This time, his purpose was clearer. He aimed his sword moves directly at the opponent's legs, and used three sword moves in a row to block all the opponent's paths to the left and right, so that the opponent had to fly toward the ground with his sword. But as soon as he lowered his body, Su Ziyi rushed over and kicked the opponent directly on the chest, forcefully kicking him off the flying sword.
After kicking the person down, Su Ziyi struck the opponent's flying sword with another sword, and immediately split the low-grade treasure weapon into two halves, making the opponent unable to fly like himself.
However, with this chop, the long sword in his hand was also damaged.
Su Ziyi didn't care about this at all. He took out another handful from the storage bag and continued to cling to the other person. And when Su Ziyi slashed his flying sword with a sword, the foundation-building practitioner used a jade pendant to spread the news, so he didn't feel sad at all when facing the damage to his flying sword. He just wanted to hold the person back until he could wait. After those who controlled their own forces came over, they killed the evil thief to the ground.
And when the two were fighting in full swing, two figures secretly left the black wasteland through the night.

Chapter 256 Surrounded on all sides
No matter how fierce the fight was, Su Ziyi still focused his attention on Bian Qing and Su Yulang.
After the two took the opportunity to leave, Su Ziyi took back all his energy and concentrated on fighting the person in front of him. The fight was inextricably linked for a while.
However, this entanglement did not last long.
Su Ziyi's consciousness has been extending to the surroundings. He doesn't know how far away the other cultivators are, but no matter how far away, as long as he detects the slightest movement, he will run away immediately. After all, with the bonus of the flying sword, it only takes a short time to cover a hundred miles, so he must be vigilant after losing the flying sword.
And now, since Bian Qing and Su Yulang have left this area, he can also withdraw. Otherwise, if we continue to entangle, I am afraid that we will run into the cultivators who are supporting us, and then the sky will really be at a loss and the earth and the earth will not work.
Immediately, he waved a sword move and took ghostly steps to run in the other direction.
The sword move was too sharp, and the man had to control his body to float back to avoid Su Ziyi's move. When he looked up again, he could only see Su Ziyi's back. He suddenly became anxious and chased after her without thinking. But this time, Su Ziyi made up his mind not to get entangled with him, and relied on his agile footwork to keep the distance between them farther and farther away, which made the man almost vomit a mouthful of blood in his heart.
However, at the same time, he was also greedy for the sword techniques and footwork in Su Ziyi's hands.
After all, he had never seen such an advanced sword art in all these years, but the short confrontation was enough for him to get a glimpse of how powerful the Zhiyi sword art in Su Ziyi's hands was.
If he also had such a sword technique...
When he thought of this possibility, his mind couldn't help but be a little fluttering, and the eyes he looked at Su Ziyi became salivating.
Su Ziyi didn't know what this person was thinking. At this moment, he was running in the direction of the swamp, but his direction was slightly different from the direction Bian Qing and Su Yulang were going. And the deviation became bigger the further he ran, and it took him less than a cup of tea. , Su Yulang and Bian Qing were completely out of his spiritual detection range.
It was also at this time that Su Ziyi decided to completely get rid of the people behind him.
There was not a single cloud in the summer night sky, and although there were no stars, the cold moonlight was bright enough, like a layer of hoarfrost, covering the black desert. It is also like steaming smoke, making the whole world exude a hazy feeling, making people always see something unreal.
But for practitioners, it is enough.
Suddenly, under the sky and above the ground, two figures as fast as the wind suddenly broke in. Their speed was so fast that the air around them made a rustling sound, breaking the silence of the moonlit night.
Before Moon could raise his eyes to see who was doing the evil, the two figures immediately slipped through his fingers. It turned into a virtual black shadow, and the outline of the whole person was blurred. When people rubbed their eyes and looked again, they could only see a mist like blue smoke dissipating, but instead appeared a few feet away. A black figure appeared.
The two figures were naturally Su Ziyi who was running away and the foundation-building cultivator who was chasing him.
The two have been fighting for most of the time. During most of the time while burning incense, Su Ziyi only focused on running away and not fighting with the opponent at all. This made the opponent anxious and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. In order to avoid being completely thrown away by Su Ziyi, he could only grit his teeth and take out the bottom of the hiding box The thing chased after him desperately.
But even if he has not been dumped by Su Ziyi now, the spiritual power situation in his body is no longer clear.
Therefore, at this moment, he completely let go of his previous contempt, and secretly prayed to the owner of the family to come over quickly, otherwise he would really have no choice.
"Wow -"
When Su Ziyi stepped into a small pit with shallow water, the mud stuck to the sole of the shoe made a moderate sound. It was accompanied by the abundant water vapor and made Su Ziyi's whole body feel excited. His spirits were instantly lifted, and his feet became faster.
The people chasing him complained endlessly.
However, the next moment, his eyes lit up, and his shoulders that had been a little slumped straightened up, looking very energetic.
The reason is none other than that other foundation-building cultivators have entered the scope of his spiritual consciousness. And judging from the familiar figure, it was the head of the family and others!
Su Ziyi naturally noticed it too.
In addition to this wave, he also noticed that there were cultivators coming towards him from four directions, including his front, back, left, and right. Although it is not sure whether they are members of the same force, such a surrounding situation is enough to make Su Ziyi cautious, and these people are rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. The nearest group is probably not going to kill them. I'll meet them over a cup of tea.
Su Ziyi's face darkened instantly.
As I probed forward with my spiritual consciousness, the area of the swamp became larger and larger, and there were more and more pools of unknown depth, getting larger and larger, and there were many pools in the back that were connected together to form a lake. Seeing this, Su Ziyi's eyes flashed with light. He no longer had any reservations, and once again increased his speed and moved forward, throwing away the people behind him.
And that person had already tried his best, but now faced with Su Ziyi's acceleration, he could only watch the person run away.
But even so, he never listened to his own steps.
Su Ziyi took a water-avoiding pill in advance, and when he encountered the first pool, he plunged into it. The "crash" sound caused by this was quite obvious in the dark night, but Su Ziyi had no intention of paying attention to it at this time. As soon as he fell to the bottom of the water, he immediately followed the direction of the water and swam towards another pool. Go, and after a while, you have appeared in a pool a few miles away.
By this time, the mud on his body had almost been washed away.
Therefore, he hurriedly dived into the water, directly wrapped a thick layer of mud on his body, then took out the essence of the Five Elements to activate the mud on his body, and then slowly swam along the bottom of the Tan to the side, and found a sunken place. After making the shallow pit, he hid himself in it and remained motionless.
Not long after he lay down, there was a sound of breaking through the sky and a sound of despair.
"I just heard the sound of water. He must have entered the water." Listening to the gasping sound, Su Ziyi immediately recognized that it must be the foundation-building practitioner chasing him. At this time, the foundation-building cultivator was severely scolded by the person in charge of the family for missing him, which made the entire swamp area quite lively for a while.
After a while, people from other directions besides the front rushed over.
As soon as everyone arrived here, they immediately gathered together spontaneously, surrounding the shameful Foundation Establishment practitioner, and listened to the person's rather aggrieved cry: "I can't help it, that person." He has the means to hide his spiritual consciousness, and as long as he disappears from my eyes, I will never be able to find him."
His words immediately caused a strange movement in the entire crowd.
"Methods to hide the detection of spiritual consciousness..." Practitioners with high levels of cultivation or knowledge immediately flashed through their minds the rumors of several treasures that had appeared in history, but then they immediately shook their heads and dismissed the idea. , after all, that kind of rumor is close to a myth, and it is too whimsical to think so.
Therefore, they believed even more that these words were just an excuse for this man to find someone after he lost someone.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes became a little unkind.
Now, the cultivator was really anxious. "Actually, it's not that there is no such method." Suddenly, just when he was about to jump up in a hurry, an old man with white hair and beard spoke out in the crowd. At this time, he was behind a middle-aged man. If Su Ziyi could see it at this time, he would definitely find that the middle-aged man standing in front of the old man was none other than Su Linyu, the head of the Su Mansion whom he hated!
At this moment, Su Linyu's usually calm face seemed to be covered with ice, and he looked very unhappy.
After the old man spoke, everyone looked over. After being watched by so many eyes, the old man coughed twice uncomfortably, and then said under the urging eyes of others: "It is rumored that Wu Wei There is an aristocratic family in the city who established themselves on the northwest border with a method of isolating spiritual consciousness. That method does not consume spiritual power or spiritual consciousness. Instead, it looks similar to mortal martial arts. It is called Turtle Breathing Kung Fu." "This aristocratic family was originally just a martial artist.
A small family with dozens of people, but because of the Turtle Breath Skill, they successfully stood out from many small families and became a force in Wuxu City." At this point, the old man was still a little sad.
After he said this, did anyone really remember it, as if such a thing really happened?
But more people don't believe it.
Someone immediately snorted and said very rudely: "May I ask the Sixth Elder of the Su Mansion, who is the family you are talking about? Why have we never heard of it?" This tone was very rude, and the Sixth Elder of the Su Mansion immediately The elder's face darkened, and he blew out two thick breaths from his nose. The hand holding his beard tightened: "That's because this aristocratic family disappeared decades ago, and you have always stayed in a corner. How do you know the situation in the border city of Yuan Kingdom?" Since the other party was not polite, he naturally wouldn't give it a good look.
This is simply saying that he has no knowledge.
The person who was immediately ridiculed by the sixth elder of the Su Mansion wanted to return it, but was stopped directly by the person behind him, so he had to swallow it, and then said in a somewhat sinister tone: "I don't understand, but It seems that the Sixth Elder of the Su Mansion knows a lot, so could you please tell us how we can find this person?"
"After all, this is business, isn't it?"
