You promised to practice martial arts, but you have mastered the golden body and Dharma?

Chapter 72 If you are killed, you will die!

"Zhang De, how is Li Jiu's condition?"

The door of the exclusive elevator on the fifteenth floor opened with a click, and Secretary Xie Dongshan and Secretary Xin ran over quickly, with serious expressions on their faces.

"The quenching rate has increased to 80%!"

Xie Dongshan was startled when he heard this. He stared at the display screen and saw that the progress bar above was suddenly pushed to 80.02%. The increase was not slowing down!
  I glanced at my daughter's data and saw that the progress bar was only at 61.23%!

"The rate of decline in mental state is not very fast, and the remnant soul of the one-eyed blue bird should not have much strength left, if it can hold on."

Xie Dongshan's pupils trembled and his thick eyebrows were furrowed: "What's going on? His body's tempering process will be different!"

In the glass cover, Li Jiu's body seemed like a colloid filled with water, with blood vessels protruding one after another. The blood surging in it was either scarlet or dark green, and its flow trajectory could be seen with the naked eye!

His face was pale, the sweat from his forehead moistened the countertop, and his limbs that should have been unconscious twitched inexplicably, as if high-pressure water was washing through his skin!

On the other hand, in other glass covers, Shen Jie and others were gritting their teeth and clenching their fists, their faces were red and bloodshot, their bodies were merging with the blood essence, and steam was steaming!
  That is how a normal tempering process should behave. How could Li Jiu be in such a state as if he was drowning!
  "In this case, it is very likely that the remnant soul of the one-eyed blue bird is affecting the tempering process. If you cannot bear it, you will definitely die!"

As soon as Secretary Xin finished speaking, she immediately made a phone call with a cold look in her eyes.

"Di!"

"what's up?"

Bureau Xing's unhurried voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xing Bureau, the one-eyed blue bird blood essence you applied to the provincial department has a residual soul. Li Jiu may not be able to hold on anymore!"

"Pa! What did you say?"

A sudden sound of slamming on the table rang out from the phone. Along with the thunderous questioning, Secretary Xin's lips trembled: "Yes, there is something wrong with the one-eyed blue bird blood essence shipped by the provincial department. I wonder if there was something wrong in the inspection process."

"I understand. You do your best to help Li Jiu escape from danger. He is the hope of Xixiang City. Nothing will happen to him. I will apply to the Supervisory Authority for a thorough investigation on this matter!"

Soon, the call was hung up. Secretary Xin frowned and stared at Li Jiu inside the glass cover. The scene fell into a dead water-like silence.

"Director Xing will take office in Xixiang City this year. It's hard to find a genius. Nothing should happen. Otherwise, the allocation of martial arts resources in Xixiang City will not be improved!"

Secretary Xin's lips turned white, and he glanced at Zhang De with a cold gaze: "Have you informed Director Lu?"

"Notified immediately, Director Lu should be on his way here now."

Zhang De clenched his fists, his mind was cold and solemn, as if a cold wind from the North had swept across the fifteenth floor, and cold sweat broke out on his back!
  I have presided over the tempering ceremony for so many years and personally inspected every aspect. How could something like this happen? The key victim was Lu Xing’s most valued student!
  The most promising genius in Xixiang City currently!

Whether it is the Martial Arts Bureau or Lu Xing, they are mountains pressing on top of his head. If he vents his anger on himself,
  At least he will be severely punished!

Thinking of this, Zhang De secretly swallowed.

Just when I was feeling anxious, a ray of light suddenly appeared like daylight, instantly filling the entire fifteenth floor. A strong sense of oppression came from the south, like a sharp arrow hitting the center of my eyebrow!

Snapped!
  Zhang De suddenly turned his head and looked, and saw that the window glass was suddenly smashed by a black shadow. The glass fragments were like blooming mirror flowers, reflecting Lu Xing's expressionless face. He was flying towards the sky with his sword on his feet.　　　唰——

The ultimate sword sound broke through the wind and waves and swept through the entire fifteenth floor, faintly revealing a murderous intention returning from the battlefield!
  [Water-quenched body (small success)]

[Experience value: 1320/5000]

[Transparent Sword Technique (Xiao Cheng)]

[Experience value: 2205/5000]

The experience value surges like a fountain, as if a surging warmth is flowing into the body, improving from the physical realm to the kendo realm!
  In a very short moment of receiving the information, the body has already been tempered, and is undergoing further tempering!
  But at this moment, an invisible hand grabbed Li Jiu's soul and fished it out from the deep sea!
  睁！
  Li Jiu's eyes suddenly opened. His dark and pure pupils reflected the body of the one-eyed blue bird that covered two-thirds of his field of vision. The nourishing water quietly held his body!

At that moment, a water ball seemed to be gestating in his mind, and the thin and invisible threads moved the shallow still water, like a bird returning to its nest!
  "One-eyed bluebird!"

Li Jiu turned over and jumped up. The moment he landed in the air, the Yao Black Sword regrouped in his hand with his consciousness. He raised his head and glared at the remnant soul of the one-eyed blue bird four or five stories high!
  "Die!"

With a long roar, Li Jiu jumped up, causing a splash of water. The dark sword shadow stabbed out of the wind, grabbing his whole body!

The one-eyed blue bird's huge pupils were startled, and he saw the water vapor scattered in the air surrounding Li Jiu's body, pushing the sharp blade in his hand towards him, more than doubling the speed before he fell to the ground!
  There's something wrong with this human boy's will!

Could it be that he has met the genius of the human race?

The one-eyed blue bird trembled, spread its left wing, and roared towards Li Jiu, who was charging towards him. The strong wind blew away the water layer in a ten-meter radius!

Swish!
  puff--

Li Jiu twisted his waist and wrist in mid-air, and the cold sword tip turned towards the green feather wings coming towards him. The two collided in the blink of an eye!

Swah——

Like an ejected cannonball, Li Jiu flashed an arc-shaped shadow in mid-air. When he landed, he splashed water droplets all over the sky. His legs stared at the surface of the water, and the two sides of the water curtain brought up by the brake reached fifty meters away!
  With a click, Li Jiu knelt down on one knee and rested his whole body on the Yaohei Sword, like a piece of plasticine supported by a wooden stick!
  My mind was buzzing and trembling, my vision was blurring, and my internal organs seemed to be going their separate ways, or they seemed to be smashed together!
  Even in the state of consciousness, the pain penetrates deep into the soul like a needle pricking the vertebrae!
  "Ahem, is this why the tempering ceremony lasts for a long time without killing the foreign phantom?" Li Jiu shook his pasty head and raised his eyes tremblingly: "In front of it, the bone-pulling rat and I What's the difference?"

The one-eyed bluebird walked towards this with its two limbs spread out. It flicked its left wing, and a few pieces of blue feathers floated down. A faint blood line could be seen on the skin and flesh!
  "Your talent is extraordinary, but even though I only have a remnant of my soul, I am not someone who has not yet grown up and can resist!"

The figure of the one-eyed bluebird was getting closer and closer, and the angry voice in his mind became clearer and clearer.

Li Jiu's legs trembled twice and he couldn't move even half a step!

"The power that the essence and blood can carry is about to be absorbed by you. To help you temper and awaken, this residual soul of mine will also dissipate. What a despicable human race!"

clatter.
  The thick claws landed in front of Li Jiu and then slowly lifted up. A surge of pressure hit his shoulders, and with a hiss, his hands slipped three points from the sword hilt!
  "But since your body has absorbed my blood essence and awakened the talent related to my clan, it should be used by me!"

Li Jiu couldn't raise his head. He could only hear the howling wind in his ears. The claw-shaped shadow covering his head became bigger and bigger. His heart palpitations spread like stagnant water to his limbs!

It seems that there is something wrong with the tempering ceremony. What I am facing is not the phantom of the one-eyed blue bird.

If you are killed, you will die.
