I want to cultivate swordsman

At night, after dinner, Gu Qingyue and the maid went back to rest in the tent, Zhao Liangcai sat by the fire and practiced Qi Sensing, accompanied only by the driver and guards.

As for Xu Zhiqiu, he entered Sanhu Mountain alone after dinner.

He didn't go deep into the forest, but stopped on the slope at the mountainside. The terrain is higher here, not only can he observe the camp below and beyond, but he can also quietly refine the Dao weapon long sword , without being disturbed by others.

Tonight is the critical moment for Xu Zhiqiu to refine the long sword, a Taoist tool. If there is no accident, he can completely refine the long sword.

"call--"

The cold wind at night blew through the mountains and forests, Xu Zhiqiu was unmoved, the dark Taoist sword was placed across his knees, and the refining magic circle was spinning around his body. As usual, every time the magic circle rotated, there would be a faint The brilliance of the candlelight hangs down, and when it merges with the sword body, it will cause a slight tremor, and the scales on the surface of the sword body will ripple layer by layer as if alive.

"Zheng-"

A clear sword cry resounded through the forest, even overpowering the roar of Night Breeze.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable "momentum" enveloped the surrounding mountains. The leaves that had been swaying with the night wind suddenly stopped, and all the sounds also stopped for an instant, which was terrifyingly quiet.

Under such circumstances, a not-so-sharp sword aura appeared out of thin air, and cut a sword mark on the ancient tree three feet away from Xu Zhiqiu. Gradually, the sword energy became more and more dense, almost covering the entire mountain forest with a radius of ten feet.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ancient trees seem to have been punished by the executioner. The trees are covered with cross-cut sword marks, which is shocking to see.

This lasted for half an hour. Many ancient trees broke and fell because they could not bear the ravages of the sword energy. Two of the broken trunks were about to hit Xu Zhiqiu's head. At this moment, the surrounding sword energy suddenly became stronger. , the tree trunk was crushed into powder in an instant, and the powder was bounced away by a jet of air, and fell in the distance.

suddenly,

There was a roar of a tiger from the summit of Sanhu Mountain.

The howling sound was deafening, and the sand, stones and leaves rustled.

The camp far below the mountain also heard the roar of the tiger, and the guards who were dozing off immediately surrounded the camp, and at the same time drew out the saber at their waist to take a defensive posture.

Gu Qingyue's maid came out of the tent in a hurry and looked around.

The guards yelled, "Miss Protection, Miss Protection."

Zhao Liangcai, who had been concentrating on practicing Qi Sensing by the fire, jumped up from the ground and hid in Gu Qingyue's tent, then poked his head out and asked, "What's screaming?"

A guard with a scar on his face said, "It sounds like a tiger."

As soon as the words fell, there was another tiger roar from the mountain peak, and the sound was louder than before, even though the distance was far away, it still made people's eardrums hurt.

The guard with the scar on his face said with more certainty: "That's right, it's the tiger. Is this the tiger in the mountain going crazy?"

Zhao Liangcai was dumbfounded, and scolded: "It's a dog, I have never seen a tiger so loud, could it be that it has become a spirit?"

As soon as these words came out, many guards looked unhappy, and they also felt that this was a possibility.

Because this howling sound is really astonishing, it cannot be the cry that ordinary tigers can make.

Hearing the judgments of several people, the green-clothed maid was also terrified. She couldn't help but push Zhao Liangcai aside, and hugged Gu Qingyue's arm tightly. The people in the camp were all mortals, and when they heard the mountain spirit and wild monster, they immediately panicked. Emboldened, I was terrified.

Gu Qingyue asked through the curtain of the tent: "Where is Mr. Xu?"

The guard said: "Young Master Xu has entered the mountain, but he hasn't come back yet."

Gu Qingyue frowned tightly and said nothing more. The guards stared nervously at the surroundings, not daring to relax in the slightest, for fear that a tiger would suddenly emerge from the night.

.........

On the other side, the tiger on the mountain peak ran to the mountainside along the mountain path.

It stopped at a distance of ten feet away from Xu Zhiqiu. Those tiger eyes stared at Xu Zhiqiu who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He could vaguely see the emotions of surprise, fear, and caution, and he could see such complex emotions from the eyes of a tiger. , there is no doubt that this adult tiger must have been enlightened and cultivated into a monster.

But even so, Xu Zhiqiu still didn't open his eyes, and was still refining the Taoist artifact.

The tiger spirit kept roaring, its limbs were standing still, and it never dared to take a step forward. The powerful momentum made it feel uncomfortable, and the dense sword energy made it even more frightening, but this whole The mountains and forests are its territory, and the sense of territory inherited in its blood makes it unwilling to let the uninvited guest in front of it just like this.

After two hours of stalemate like this, Xu Zhiqiu's ten feet around his body became an open space, and the ancient trees that had existed for hundreds of years were all smashed into powder by the sword energy.

"Zheng!"

There was another clear sword cry.

This time, the moment the sword blew, the tiger spirit felt the fear, which was the fear extending from the soul to the body, and it didn't know why it wanted to be afraid, but it didn't have time to think about it, and its strong limbs followed the instinct to rush towards the mountain. , Exhausting all the strength of the whole body to escape from here.

At the same time, Xu Zhiqiuzhou's weapon refining circle disappeared, and the Dao weapon long sword floated in front of him like a spirit.

Xu Zhiqiu opened his eyes, and there was an indescribably close connection with the long sword.

He got up and stretched out his right hand, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly. At this moment, the world in front of him suddenly went dark, and he couldn't even see the moonlight. Then the sky and the earth merged, the mountains and forests turned into canyons, and the waning moon above his head turned into a full moon.

Xu Zhiqiu saw a plump and handsome man in green robes floating in the sky above the canyon. He was holding a long sword in his hand, which was exactly the same as his Taoist sword. There were three figures a hundred feet away from the man, two men and one woman. .

Although Xu Zhiqiu didn't know what happened before, he could tell from the subtle atmosphere that the man carrying the sword was definitely in a hostile state with the other three.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the man moved, and he swung the long sword in his hand.

With just this one sword, visions of heaven and earth are born.

There are night crows hovering all over the sky, candle dragons falling from the sky, and black blood raining down, which seem to fill the whole world.

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the sword, although it didn't look like he was cutting it, but he felt that his consciousness was about to collapse, as if the entire black sky was squeezing downwards, trying to squeeze his body like an ant into pieces.

"what!!"

Unable to bear such a powerful force, Xu Zhiqiu uttered a cry, and his whole body shattered into countless pieces.

But in the next moment, the shattered body returned to its original state, and the man with the sword swung his sword again.
