Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities.

Chapter 269 News
Two years have passed, and the Jiuxuan Dangmo Sect still only has Xu Guang and six disciples. In addition, there are some people who have followed him a long time ago.

For example, the old men in the Demon-Slaying Army and people like Song Tao who have followed him for a long time.

After years of construction, Xianren Peak has become extremely prosperous.

The momentum generated by Xu Guang's own practice and his extremely special body have produced countless calamities, but after the calamities, there is blessing.

These mysterious beings, which Xu Guang called blessings, gathered on the top of the Immortal Peak all year round and slowly changed everything on the Immortal Peak.

Cave in the mountains.

Fang Jin and Liu Qiankun sat opposite each other, looking at the refreshing atmosphere on the top of the mountain with emotion.

Over the years, their cultivation has improved greatly, especially Liu Qiankun. Although he has to start over, the experience accumulated over the years has allowed him to step into the realm of a grandmaster again, and his will has changed.

Now, he doesn't look like the good guy as before, but instead has a cold expression on his face.

It's like a glacier that has never melted for thousands of years.

Just one glance makes people feel that this person has a heart of stone.

Fang Jin was most impressed by Liu Qiankun's changes.

Because when Xu Guang was accepting disciples in the past, Fu Shaohua took the lead and eventually became the head disciple.

Fang Jin, who always thought that he had a high chance of becoming the first seat, had a close relationship with Liu Qiankun, the oldest one.

Of course, Fang Jin has always unilaterally felt that he and Liu Qiankun share the same suffering.

But in fact, Liu Qiankun doesn’t care about those.

"What level has Master's cultivation reached? With every breath he takes, I can feel the energy on the mountaintop subtly changing."

Fang Jin said with emotion.

Liu Qiankun's expression, which had never changed, showed a slight fluctuation when facing Fang Jin, who had the best relationship with him in the mountains. He moved the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to smile, but failed.

"Master is walking a path that no one in this world has ever walked before."

He was concise and to the point.

Fang Jin deeply agreed with this.

……

And on the top of the mountain.

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes and looked at the location of the alien god displayed on the panel, with a look of weirdness and fear on his face.

It turns out that…

Hidden near the valley where he broke through the third transformation in the past.

It can even be said that the location completely overlaps with the valley!

I don't know when he went there.

After he founded the temple and accepted disciples, he took them there several times, but did not find the terrifying evil spirit.

This official's hidden methods are frightening.

It also made Xu Guang truly want to kill.

How can I allow others to snore on my bed?

After determining the position, Xu Guang slowly closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

Although he was very confident, he still needed to be extremely cautious when facing a great demon from the Xuan World.

Caution has always been the key to his survival in this world.

After he entered the breathing mode, he seemed to have forgotten everything, even the baits he had cast out.

……

Under the heavy snow, Yuanshan was covered with silver and white.

It's bleak.

Over the years, several incidents have occurred in Yuanshan. First, there was an accident in the underground palace and the Silver-haired Demon Disaster. Then there was a chaotic battle between the Demon-Slaying Army and the grassland barbarians in Yuanshan.

But nature is always so great.

People may change but mountains and rivers remain unchanged.

Many years have passed and Yuanshan has long since recovered its vitality.

In the valley.

Endless cold wind howled in it.

A dreamy black shadow clung to the rock wall like a gecko.

It is like human breathing, constantly rising and falling, like luck.

The Grandmaster can fully realize flying in the air and controlling the wind. However, this valley is strange and filled with all kinds of calamity forces. Even the Grandmaster cannot keep flying for too long in it.

And the existence in the dim light is completely unaffected by the changes in the valley.

He seemed to have stayed in the valley in this posture for a long time.

No need to eat, no need to rest, just stay like this.

call!
The rolling disasters rose and fell in the valley, and waves of steady breathing sounds continued to be heard in the dim light.

With every rise and fall of it, the air becomes sticky and heavy.

A ghostly figure walked carefully into the valley.

This is a humanoid creature, with the fog on its face being blown away by the raging wind of disaster.

Reveal its true face.

This is a middle-aged man with a simple face, tiger-striped stripes on his face and thick hair on his body. Perhaps Xu Guang would be able to recognize him when he saw him.

It turned out to be the Tiger Sect elder of the Twelve Earthly Branches who had fought with him for the underground palace in the past!
But at this moment, he walked into the valley with a humble look on his face.

Immediately he knelt down respectfully.

"I have met my god!"

In his eyes, the dark fog was not just dark fog, but an extremely majestic existence, looming in the black fog. Its majestic eyes almost made him tremble all over.

"information…"

A voice came from the mist, like that of a beginner, but with a heart-pounding and terrifying wave.

The middle-aged man became more respectful, kneeling down and saying respectfully, "In the outside world today, the best expert is a man named Xu Guang."

“Four years ago, he appeared in Qiandu with great power, and later hunted down the then-national master Ming Xiaochen, and then became famous.

Three years ago, in front of everyone in Qiandu, the emperor was deposed.

In the same year, he established the Jiuxuan Dangmo Sect in Youzhou and accepted six disciples.

Afterwards, the demons were wiped out for three years. Now, in Daqian, those who practiced alienated demonic skills dared not show their heads easily..."

Hearing the name Xu Guang.

The fluctuation in the dim light paused for a moment.

He seemed to have some impression of Xu Guang.

He met Xu Guang quite a few times.

It seemed like the first time we met was in the Xuan Cave.

The second time was in Yuanshan after the underground palace was born.

The third time, it was the scene of Han Sui being killed.

Thinking of this, the fluctuations in the dim light became more visibly vibrating for a moment.

"It turned out to be him..."

When he woke up a year ago, he actually felt a threatening presence in the mortal world.

So he sent out the men he had captured last time to find out what had happened.

I didn't expect it was that person.

In the past, in the Xuan Cave, in front of the Corpse-Suppressing Temple...

"It's really interesting... What do you think of the corpse?"

"I have a feeling you're going to die."

Another voice came from the valley.

It turned out to be... the person who claimed to be the successor of Emei's swordsmanship.

However, his current state is obviously suppressed by Ye Shen.

After all, the last time the Night God left the Xuan Cave when the underground palace came out, he had been dormant in the mortal world for many years and had already recovered a lot.

The Taoist who suppressed corpses was naturally suppressed by him, but the two had been entangled in suppression for tens of thousands of years and could no longer distinguish one from the other.

The Tiger Clan's elder lowered his head at this time, as if he heard a quarrel coming from above his head.

That is the world that belongs to God, and it is not something that mortals like him can control.

……

The world is vast.

Even Youzhou is an extremely vast area. Even Xu Guang did not dare to say that he had traveled to every inch of Youzhou over the years.

He looked at the sky and the falling snow above his head.

A sigh slowly appeared in his eyes.

Shi Zhongyu escaped.

He lost his last chance for promotion.

It’s quite fast.

This person had made some cruel remarks before, saying that after he truly entered the realm of Xuan, he could run faster than a dog.

However, for such a person to make such a decisive decision, it is no wonder that he can achieve such success.

The magic sects are cunning by nature. The cultivation techniques of the mortal magic sects require materials from the bodies of the demons in the mysterious caves, and the materials of each magic sect are limited. Everyone grows up from humble beginnings. Everyone has experienced the embarrassment of youth.

However, Xu Guang did not expect that Shi Zhongyu was still as vigilant against danger as he was.

If he were in Shi Zhongyu's situation, perhaps he would have gone to the Xuan world now?

Xu Guang strolled in the world of snow, leaving a series of footprints behind him.

This time, we will go to the valley to kill the former demon.

In the snow.

A caravan was moving slowly, and the person leading it was an old man, about seventy or eighty years old.

But at this age, he is a model of being strong in the world. The warrior's super vitality allows him to travel far and wide at this age.

All traveling merchants travel in groups. A single small merchant will either be swallowed up by the world or by the hearts of people.

"Mr. Zhao, the snow is getting stronger and stronger. The boss said do you want to take a break?"

A tall, middle-aged man carrying a heavy sword on his back walked in front and asked the old man.

Upon hearing this, the old man looked up at the sky. The snow showed no signs of stopping and was gradually blurring people's vision.

"This snow is expected to continue to fall for a long time. We are currently in an open area where we can see dozens of miles away. We cannot rest, otherwise the snow will accumulate and cover our horses' hooves, and we will surely be robbed!
On a plain like this, we can only fight with those vicious people..."

He had lived for so long and had traveled as a trader countless times, so he naturally knew that this kind of weather was the favorite day for those mountain bandits known as the Green Forest Bandits. There was heavy wind and snow, and it was good for killing people.

If you want to rest, you have to at least find a place with undulating terrain that is convenient for hiding.

Otherwise, once you are targeted by the gangsters...

A trace of sadness arose in the old man's heart.

His name is Zhao Lian.

This was his last business trip. Some time ago, his youngest son joined the Demon-Slaying Army of Yuan City. He had planned to settle down in Yuan City. As the territory of the world's number one master, he would be able to spend his old age in peace and even see his youngest son get married and have children.

When he was young, he considered himself a hero and was merciful everywhere in the world, but he did not leave any offspring.

After getting married at the age of over fifty, they finally had children.

At that time, Zhao Lian understood that in the underworld, everything was just a show, and the so-called mercy was just to keep money.

In recent years, he has been traveling for business more and more frequently. Fortunately, his youngest son did not let him down after all.

"Brother, the boss said that the horses have been walking for two days. If they keep walking, they will die of exhaustion. He asked you to organize some people to rest here."

Zhao Lian heard this and sighed silently.

Merchants are profit-driven, and a good horse is worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. Although there are not many such horses in the caravan, they are all money.

The death of one is enough to make the caravan owner feel sad for a long time.

He could understand, and even though he was not happy about it, he still called on his guards to build fortifications and traps, so that they would be prepared even if they were really targeted by the bandits.

Huhu~!

A faint sound of vibration could be heard in the wind and snow, as if dozens or hundreds of horses were galloping wildly.

Zhao Lian's expression changed slightly.

In the distance, dozens of black shadows were looming in the wind and snow.

"Hahaha! You fat sheep, drop your weapons and surrender quickly. I am one of the 108 most powerful men in Youyun, and I will give Master Xu a favor. I only want the goods, not the lives!"

Suddenly, a loud shout pierced through the rolling wind and snow. The sound was so powerful and the sonic waves were so magnificent that in an instant, the entire caravan was boiling with excitement.

The wind and snow were rolling, and a group of more than a hundred riders were rushing over. The snow on the ground was splashing everywhere, and as their voices echoed, they had already surrounded the caravan in a fan shape.

The group of people were all riding tall horses and holding cold curved swords. The leader was a burly bald man.

In the midst of the wind and snow, with his naked upper body covered with scars, one could feel the murderous aura at first glance.

"Youyun 108th leader! A notorious villain!"

"Oh my god, how could I encounter such a group of vicious people."

"Master Xu is in Youzhou, why do you allow such a villain to harm Youzhou?"

The entire caravan was in an uproar, with fear on everyone's face, but under Zhao Lian's scolding, they finally drew their swords.

boom!
The burly man in the lead suddenly blasted out with a force. The black and grey force made the chest of the person who spoke before dent, and he rolled off the horse's back.

"How dare you say that to Master Xu!? We are practicing authentic profound arts, not demonic arts. Master Xu will not cause trouble for us, but you..."

The younger brothers behind him immediately started to make a noise.

"I see that boy has shifty eyes and looks like a rat from the Twelve Earthly Branches Sect. You are harboring filth."

"That's right, what do we call this? We are acting on behalf of heaven!"

"What do you mean by acting on behalf of Heaven? It means to exorcise the devil for Master Xu!"

"Hahaha."

The robbers laughed happily.

The strongest person in the caravan in front of them is only Zhao Lian, who is at the third transformation realm, but among them, there are three third transformation masters.

One against three, the advantage is on my side, the outcome is decided immediately!

Zhao Lian frowned, stood in front of the crowd, and looked at the leading horse bandit.

"It turned out to be Liu Haohan, I wait..."

Liu Neng didn't waste any time talking and rudely interrupted Zhao Lian's greeting.

"If you recognize me and my brothers, hand over all your belongings, or you will go to see the King of Hell!"

"no!"

The head of the caravan couldn't help but say.

"Brother Zhao, let's fight them!"

This batch of goods weighed down his huge savings. If it was robbed, all his life’s efforts would be almost wasted.

There was no way he would hand it over easily.

“There are really people who are not afraid of death!”

Liu Neng laughed grimly.

"Don't do it..."

Zhao Lian wanted to stop him, but the other party had already made his move.

Liu Neng swung the scimitar in his hand, and the blade light like a silver silk thread swept across the wind and snow for dozens of feet in an instant.

Damn!
Fortunately, at the last critical moment, Zhao Lian finally arrived and blocked the knife.

"My dear Liu, let's talk nicely!"

Zhao Lian drew his sword to block Liu Neng's scimitar and spoke.

"Who's talking to you?"

Liu Neng's repeated provocations finally aroused the caravan's bloodiness.

Almost in an instant, the two groups of people started fighting each other.

Liu Neng grinned and chopped off the head of a half-grown child in the caravan with one knife.

The head flew away, melting the ice and snow.

Liu Neng wiped the blood off his face and grinned.

"Leave no one behind! Leave no one behind!"

at this time.

Suddenly, a flute sound was heard in the snow and wind.

Liu Neng has always had very good eyesight and was known as the Eagle Eyes. Otherwise, he would not have been able to spot a caravan dozens of miles away in the wind and snow.

The man was wearing a green shirt and a bamboo hat. He was alone and holding a bamboo flute in his hand.

What made Liu Neng feel cold in his heart was that the man was walking in the wind and snow, but the wind and snow seemed to be avoiding him, and there was not a single snowflake on his body.

This is not the ordinary master using strength to avoid the snowflakes, but the application of will.

Come on...

It's the Grandmaster!
Then, a pair of eyes suddenly raised under the bamboo hat.

boom!
It was like a heavy hammer falling from the sky. Liu Neng only had time to let out a scream before his entire head exploded.

Xilulu~
The horse let out a mournful cry and fell into the snow with its headless body, with the snow flying everywhere.

Amid the thick snow and wind, Zhao Lian was shocked. He felt as if the air in front of him had turned into an invisible wall.

"Good bones and good aptitude, but a little old."

The visitor spoke softly, looking Zhao Lian up and down with a strange look.

Zhao Lian was a little surprised.

He just felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.

"Your Excellency is..."

"You can call me...Iron Maniac!"

"Huh?" Zhao Lian looked up suddenly. Tie Kuang, Lord Tie Hou?

Tie Kuang chuckled, moved his body, and killed all the horse bandits around him with one blow.

"This Xu Guang is really... acting strangely. He does things to exorcise demons, but he doesn't kill those who do evil. He only kills those who practice demonic skills."

Tie Kuang was extremely surprised at Xu Guang's behavior.

Suddenly, another voice came from a distance.

"It turned out to be Lord Tie. It seems Lord Tie has also received the news."
