Too Reckless

Chapter 25: Sword Qi

The dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, and the old trees with withered vines are knotted under the Jiguan Ridge.

The dense raindrops fell from the sky, and the only sound of running water from the distant stream could be heard in the entire mountain pass.

Following She Yulong's "silence", the words in the cave came to an abrupt end.

Zuo Lingquan held down the hilt of the sword at his waist, while Wang Rui put away the wooden box and looked out at the same time.

In the dense forest outside the cave, She Yulong, dressed in black, had already pulled out the sword on his back. Above the blade, there was a faint white light. This was the seventh level of Qi Refining. Airy performance.

Zuo Lingquan's ear was excellent, and he listened carefully. There was no movement in the dense forest. He hesitated, walked out of the stone cave without a sound, and approached She Yulong.

Among the brothers and sisters on this tour of the mountain, Wang Rui was considered to be quite powerful. Seeing the situation outside, he also carried his saber and walked beside Zuo Lingquan, carefully examining the surroundings along the way.

She Yulong noticed that Zuo Lingquan and Wang Rui were behind him, raised his left hand to stop, and said softly:

"There is movement in the southeast, there must be something hidden. Ling Quan, you go back and stay; Wang Rui, you come with me."

Wang Rui nodded slightly and followed She Yulong into the dense forest one after the other.

Although Zuo Lingquan did not have a cultivation base, his martial arts skills were not low. When he came out, he couldn't make soy sauce. After hesitating for a moment, he followed behind.

Seeing this, She Yulong frowned slightly, but didn't say much, and led the two into the dense forest.

The dense forest is full of dead vines and old trees, and there is no road. When you go to the depths, the canopy blocks the already gloomy light, and it is difficult to see even the first five steps.

Holding long swords, the three of them marched silently through the forest.

Zuo Lingquan knew how powerful the beast was, but he didn't care about it. He carefully distinguished everything except the sound of the rain. After about a hundred steps in the southeast direction, he finally heard some subtle sounds.

Sis—

The sound of inhalation.

Zuo Lingquan and She Yulong turned their heads at the same time and looked at a pile of overgrown bushes in the depths of the mountain forest. They were shocked when they saw that the bushes were only two feet away from them.

Wang Rui, who was following next to him, noticed the movement, and turned to look at the bushes, but just as his footsteps moved, his face instantly turned pale, and he said in a low voice with a trembling voice:

"You guys run, I seem to have stepped on the big guy."

Zuo Lingquan and She Yulong quickly lowered their heads, only to find a 'log' lying among the weeds under their feet.

The log was covered with cyan scales, the size of a man's waist, and it extended forward all the way to the bushes ahead.

Before Zuo Lingquan could take a closer look at what it was, the bushes in front of him suddenly exploded, shattered leaves flying, and a triangular snake head protruded, his eyes were scarlet, and the **** mouth was covered with barbs like fangs. The snake rushed towards the three like a mouse.

"retreat!"

When She Yulong raised his eyes and saw this scene, his face changed suddenly—he had patrolled the mountain many times and recognized it as an orangutan-eyed python. Orangutan pythons mostly appear in places where Hennosaurus grows. They feed on Hennosaurus for many years, and the longer the time goes, the bigger they become. The orangutan-eyed python in front of him, to say the least, has a length of 30 feet, and it has never been this big in 30 years.

The orangutan-eyed python is known for its rough skin and thick flesh and quick movements. With She Yulong's seventh-level qi-refining power, it might be possible to kill it in advance, but it was only when he walked in front of him that he was raided by the orangutan-eyed python.

Seeing the gorilla-eyed python rushing towards him, She Yulong didn't hesitate at all, so he flew back and stepped back, with his long sword erected in front of him in case of an accident.

Zuo Lingquan has practiced martial arts since childhood. Although he has no cultivation, his physical reaction is more exaggerated than that of She Yulong. The moment the orangutan-eyed python rushed out of the grass, he was ready to dodge.

But when Zuo Lingquan was about to retreat, Yu Guang found that Wang Rui, who was beside him, 'slid' forward.

Wang Rui was so frightened that his face was pale, obviously it wasn't his head rushing forward.

Zuo Lingquan glanced down, only to find that Wang Rui's legs had been wrapped by the tail of the snake and dragged towards the head of the snake.

Zuo Lingquan's eyes changed slightly, and he grabbed Wang Rui's shoulder without thinking.

She Yulong also saw Wang Rui's situation, but did not lend a helping hand, but stepped back and said sharply:

"Take care of yourself!"

It's just that Zuo Lingquan met a fierce beast in Linhefang, a newcomer. He would not stand by and watch if he could. At this time, Wang Rui, who had a little friendship, was about to fall into Shekou, so how could he be so indifferent to watch the other party die?

Zuo Lingquan also never thought that relying on She Yulong, after grabbing Wang Rui's shoulder, under the huge pulling force, the whole person was pulled towards Shekou together.

He first slashed down with a sword, trying to cut off the tail of the snake.

It's just that the snake's tail also has the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and its skin is covered with scales. The hurried sword only made an inch-deep opening, which did not stop the giant python's dragging.

Seeing that he had been dragged to the front of Shekou, the stench was blowing towards his face, Zuo Lingquan raised his sword again, trying to block Shekou with his long sword.

In She Yulong's view, the only move that can be made in a hurry is the same as sending death.

The orangutan-eyed python is poisonous. Even if it gets stuck in the mouth of the snake, the venom spurted by its fangs can still make Wang Rui's body disappear. If Zuo Lingquan accidentally gets the venom, he will be killed or injured.

She Yulong is not a ruthless person, and he also cares about the lives of his juniors and juniors, but how long it takes to cultivate, any risky decision will cut off the Dao.

The day She Yulong set foot on this road, he knew a truth - only living deserves cultivation, and the dead return to dust.

Therefore, She Yulong wouldn't join hands at such a time, he could feel guilty for the rest of his life, but he couldn't die here and he didn't even have the qualifications to feel guilty.

rustling—

The branches and leaves were flying in the dense forest, but in the blink of an eye, the orangutan-eyed python dragged the two of them in front of them and bit them down.

Zuo Lingquan's long sword pierced into Shekou, but he also saw the fangs in Shekou ready to attack.

At the critical moment, Zuo Lingquan knew that it would be difficult to save him, and without hesitation, he slashed at Wang Rui's entangled legs with a backhand sword.

At this moment, among the tree canopies that covered the sky and the sun above the three of them, a sword sound suddenly sounded.

Sa—

The sound of sword cries drove the wind and rain, and seemed to shatter the entire tree canopy.

Even if the target was not Zuo Lingquan, Zuo Lingquan felt the overwhelming killing power.

Zuo Lingquan's sword suddenly stopped, Yu Guang looked up, but saw a woman in a scorpion descending from the sky above the tree canopy, holding a three-foot blade, with blue light flowing on the sword, raindrops and branches and leaves close to the sword light , all turned into powder.

A cultivator in the Spirit Valley Realm, who can really leave the body without dispersing, is the cyan crescent moon that seems to be capable of smashing everything in the world.

Wu Qingwan was still a step away from Linggu, and the sword energy that came out of the body was far less stable than that of a cultivator in Linggu, but it was enough to shock Zuo Lingquan, who had not yet entered.

The sword rises and falls, but in an instant.

Zuo Lingquan only saw a zhang and a long azure light flash across the python's head. The disturbance in the jungle stopped abruptly, and the dust settled.

The 30-foot-long behemoth fell into the jungle, and the snake's head was neatly split in half, and it fell to the ground with blood flowing.

Wang Rui was so frightened that his face was pale. After falling to the ground, he didn't return to his senses, but just stared blankly at the snake corpse in front of him.

She Yulong's mind was calm, and when she saw Wu Qingwan coming, she quickly drew up her sword and stood still, raising her hand in a salute:

"Uncle Wu."

Zuo Lingquan's sword suddenly stopped, and then quickly bounced back, first looking at the snake corpse on the ground, then at Wu Qingwan, who was standing on a branch holding a long sword, and said unexpectedly:

"Senior Wu, why are you here?"

Wu Qingwan's brows were furrowed, and she was not as gentle as when she was in Phoenix Valley. She looked more like a stern teacher. After glancing at the situation below, she said solemnly:

"She Yulong, why didn't you save him just now?"

When She Yulong heard this reprimanding question, her expression did not change. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com responded earnestly:

"It can't be saved."

Zuo Lingquan knew that She Yulong was telling the truth. He and She Yulong might not be able to save the sudden situation just now, but She Yulong's almost indifferent calm still made him frown.

Wu Qingwan on the tree branch was also dissatisfied with She Yulong's answer. This is a normal reaction of a person.

But Wu Qingwan also knew in her heart that there was nothing wrong with She Yulong's actions.

The teachers once taught that cultivating a single path is originally a 'dao walk alone'. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine how many choices you have to face in the long years. Once you take a wrong step, you will die.

Worldly benevolence, righteousness, morality, courtesy, shame, and even blood and kinship will only become a burden to practitioners, because once you seek longevity, everything you know will pass through the long years, and you are the only one left in this world. Moving forward, without a heart like stone, there is no way to go to the end on this road.

And She Yulong is a natural practitioner. His choice before a difficult situation may be criticized, but his choice is indeed correct.

Wu Qingwan always remembered the teachings of the teachers and teachers, so although she was dissatisfied with She Yulong's almost cold-blooded calm, she nodded lightly after a moment of silence:

"That's right, take Wang Rui and the other disciples back to Phoenix Valley."

She Yulong bowed and saluted, stepped forward to help Wang Rui, who had survived in desperation, and walked towards the cave.

Zuo Lingquan didn't expect Wu Qingwan to praise She Yulong. He stood under the big tree, and after She Yulong walked away, he shook his head and said:

"This Senior Brother She is a bit cold-blooded."

Being alone with Zuo Lingquan, Wu Qingwan still did not show her gentle appearance, but asked:

"Zuo Lingquan, I just knew that I couldn't save him, so why did he take the risk?"
