Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 60: Sword Cutting Peach Blossom

Midday on the moon.

Jiang Jian sat by the bed, practicing quietly.

The buildings outside the window are brightly lit.

The bright moonlight shines through the window lattice and falls down.

Reflecting the boy's pale face.

“Daily practice is the best way to hone your patience.”

The spiritual energy around Jiang Jian was extremely thin.

Almost imperceptible.

But deep down, he didn't feel annoyed at all.

On the contrary, it is a bit pathological, honing one's patience and enjoying this kind of desolation and solitude.

"unconsciously."

"It's close enough to cure her."

"It's been ten years."

Suddenly.

Jiang Jian's black eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

The silvery moonlight falls on the world, cold and noble.

Unchanging and silent as death.

……

Guangling City, shadow area.

Public care center.

"Brother...Brother..."

The girl had a blank expression and her lips were moving.

Jiang Jian looked at her in silence.

Jiang Jian knew this since he was a child.

She is stupid.

Jiang Jian held the soup, scooped it up with a wooden spoon and brought it to the girl's mouth.

"good to eat……"

The girl grinned, and the leftovers flowed out from the corners of her soft lips.

suddenly.

Jiang Jian put down the bowl and walked out of the house.

The yard was covered in blood, attracting many flies.

They buzzed around the stinking corpse and feasted on it.

"You are indeed here."

Jiang Jian stood in front of the door, holding a wooden sword in his hand.

A few meters away.

The man looked at the boy and seemed to be laughing: "You are only seven years old, and you actually killed them all."

The boy had red lips and white teeth, and showed an innocent smile: "They want to send me to death, so I have to let them die first."

The man continued laughing until he started coughing, and even coughed up bright red blood, staining the white handkerchief.

The boy put away his smile and asked, "Is the method that cured her real?"

"of course it's true."

The man walked forward, stretched out his slender white fingers, and touched the boy's black hair.

The boy had a blank expression on his face.

He tilted his head slightly to avoid the fingers.

"Do not move."

The man coughed.

this time.

The boy was silent for a moment and did not hide.

"what is her name."

The man stroked Jiang Jian's hair and suddenly asked.

The boy said, "She has no name."

The man said, “You need a name to cure the disease.”

The boy looked up.

The starry night is out of reach.

Only the bright white moon illuminates the sky and the earth.

"From today onwards."

"Her name is."

The boy spoke in a low voice.

"Jiang Zhao."

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

Jiang Jian opened his eyes and stopped practicing.

He glanced at the time.

7 points.

"There's still enough time."

Jiang Jian stood up, opened the door, and walked towards the bathroom. "Fried hot dogs, fresh milk."

The robot butler walked out of the machine room with a smile on his face: "Okay."

20 minute later.

Jiang Jian took a shower, had a meal, and changed into his school uniform.

I took Han Guang with me and took the elevator downstairs.

"See you Jiang."

In front of the flying shuttle, Yamaye said with a teasing look, "You have really good luck in love."

Jiang Jian boarded the flying shuttle and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yamaye sighed and said, "A friend of mine asked me for your ID information. He has a good impression of you."

At this point, the girl blinked and said, "She is very beautiful. There is probably no girl prettier than her in our campus."

Jiang Jian sat down in his seat and asked, "Did you give it to her?"

Shan Ye nodded gently, looking at Jiang Jian, his smile gradually becoming ambiguous: "If someone else wants it, I definitely won't give it to her. But she is really beautiful and a good match for you."

Jiang Jian was speechless. He opened the ID device and saw several new communications.

On the seat next to me.

Liu Tiezhu looked embarrassed: "That's just Yamaye's personality. I'm used to it."

Shi Xuan sat in the next seat, holding the Moon Chasing Sword, without saying a word.

Bang.

The hatch is closed.

Under the shining golden sunlight, the flying shuttle gradually rose into the air and flew away from Sanchongjiang City.

Just over ten minutes.

The flying shuttle merged into the track of Tianzhu Mountain and fell towards the first river city.

Outside the porthole, brilliant streams of light flashed past from time to time.

They are densely packed, almost numbering in the tens of thousands.

Each stream of light is a commercial shuttle, circling the Five-Layered River City and Tianzhu Mountain.

From a distance, it looks like a magnificent meteor shower.

"Mr. Shi Xuan, why haven't you been talking much lately?"

Yamaye turned his head, breaking the silence in the cabin.

Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile: "Nothing."

As he spoke, the jade bracelet on his wrist emitted a fine stream of light.

Jiang Jian glanced at Shi Xuan and remained silent.

For some reason, Shi Xuan's spiritual energy in the divine palace has also increased significantly in the past few days.

Liu Tiezhu was calm and composed, resting his eyes.

Outside the window, light and dark alternate.

The world gradually fell into darkness amidst the dappled light and shadow. "We have arrived at the mission location."

"Please get out of the car."

A cold mechanical voice sounded.

The shuttle slowly stopped and the hatch opened.

Liu Tiezhu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with brilliance, and jumped off the gangway first.

Jiang Jian was behind him and got off the flying shuttle.

Liu Tiezhu raised his head, looked at the towering buildings not far away, and said in a deep voice, "The evil energy is rising to the sky, almost boiling over. We must be careful."

Jiang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked forward.

The building in front of us is also an ancient attic that is hundreds of years old.

It can even be called a "palace".

There are dozens of magnificent palaces with carved beams and painted buildings, brightly lit.

It is in stark contrast to the silent darkness all around.

Yamaha walked over and said, "The mission details say that some of these buildings have transformed into monsters. We need to monitor them and repair the buildings."

Liu Tiezhu nodded. "Repairing the buildings requires their bodies. Now that they've become monsters, they've developed intelligence and a sense of self-preservation, so naturally they won't do it."

Shi Xuan said coldly, "I hope they pretend to obey but secretly disobey. This way we will have a reason to take action and execute them to get more refined iron."

The words fell.

Shi Xuan held the Moon-Chasing Sword and walked directly towards the palace gate.

Yamaye moved his fingers slightly and chanted a spell.

The spiritual energy surged around, causing the circulation of spiritual energy to speed up a lot.

Jiang Jian and Liu Tiezhu followed closely behind and walked into the palace gate, but did not notice anything unusual.

Click.

Shi Xuan turned around and stepped on a broken stone.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Liu Tiezhu noticed something and suddenly said, "Get out of the way!"

The words have not yet fallen.

The tall palace door that he had just walked through twisted and deformed, and suddenly stood up, smashing down towards Shi Xuan with a pair of huge fists!

Shi Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and the aura around him was surging fiercely. In a flash, he moved several meters and avoided the attack!

boom!
The ground was cracked and gravel flew everywhere!

Shi Xuan urged his spiritual energy to transform into罡, and the long sword's罡气 became even more ferocious. Holding the Moon-Chasing Sword, he turned around and slashed at the waist of the monster at the temple gate!
Click!

With the blessing of the罡气, the sword light was dazzling and blazing, shattering countless building fragments and cutting a huge gap in the monster's waist!

"How dare you sneak attack me?"

Shi Xuan spoke in a cold voice, leaped up with a long sword in hand, and madly urged his spiritual energy to turn into energy, slashing out a ray of sword light again!
boom!
The rocks flew everywhere!

The palace gate monster, which was several meters tall, was cut in half!
Smoke and dust were flying, the monster's eyes lost their luster, and the whole thing collapsed like a golden mountain or a jade pillar.

Monsters are killed.

There was no joy on Liu Tiezhu and Shan Ye's faces.

Jiang Jian's expression also became solemn.

in all directions.

Dozens of palace buildings came alive.

They stood up one after another, looking down with cold eyes.

There are dozens of building monsters, the tallest of which is nearly 10 meters!
The strong sense of oppression it brings is almost suffocating!
Bang.

A sudden sound broke the silence.

Something like a stone fell to the ground.

Jiang Jian knew that it was a piece of fine iron.

But this time.

But no one dared to pick it up.

"Their individual strength is only average."

“There are just too many of them.”

Liu Tiezhu said in a deep voice, "It seems that they are afraid of casualties and don't want to fight with us."

Jiang Jian said softly, "The monster just now must have volunteered to die to test our strength."

The words fell.

Liu Tiezhu and Jiang Jian looked at each other and vaguely guessed what these monsters were thinking.

They want to survive as long as possible.

Clearly, resistance is a violation of the law and will result in death no matter what.

Therefore, we can only send out a small number of monsters to conduct a brief test.

If they estimate that killing Jiang Jian and his men would cause too many casualties, they would change their plans.

really.

not far away.

A gatepost monster came over and spoke: "He went crazy just now, didn't he hurt you?"

Shi Xuan snorted coldly and was about to speak when he was stopped by Liu Tiezhu.

Liu Tiezhu stepped forward, shook his head and said, "It's okay, we're just here to supervise the renovation of the building, we don't have any other intentions."

The doorpost monster was standing above the attic, smiling wryly: "Which building are you repairing?"

Yamaye opened the identity device and clicked on the task details.

A lifelike holographic projection of a palace appeared in front of them.

Shanye compared them and said, "Fuyun Pavilion needs to be repaired to 100%."

"Piaoyu Pavilion needs to be repaired to 100%."

"The most important Feiluan Palace needs to be repaired to more than 60%."

when she spoke.

The gatepost monster was quite nervous.

Wait until Yamaha stops.

The gatepost monster seemed relieved and said, "So these are the three palaces. Don't worry, we will start repairing them now."

It turned around and walked back to the group of monsters.

A few minutes later.

More than ten tall palace pillar monsters stood out and walked to the original location of "Fuyun Pavilion".

They had ferocious expressions and were enduring severe pain. Demonic power surged all over their bodies, peeling off large blocks of buildings from their bodies and filling the "Fuyun Pavilion".

Each building is the monster itself.

It even relates to the origin of demonic power.

If the source of demonic power is lost, the person may be seriously injured and dying at best, or his body may collapse and die on the spot at worst.

Jiang saw a few people standing aside, watching them repair the building quietly without saying anything.

A few meters away.

The piece of fine iron lay on the ground, reflecting the flickering light.

Tens of minutes later.

The magnificent Fuyun Pavilion stands tall.

The dozen or so monsters all staggered and retreated.

Among them, there were several monsters that had lost too much of their essence and collapsed directly, falling into a coma amidst the flying smoke and dust.

next second.

More monsters came out, stood at the location of "Piaoyu Pavilion" and began to repair it.

Piaoyu Pavilion also gradually recovered to its original state.

Shi Xuan lowered his voice and said, "We can't let them repair smoothly."

Seeing his calm expression, Jiang Jian said softly, "Don't worry."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian turned his head and looked at Liu Tiezhu.

Liu Tiezhu nodded slightly and said, "Leave it to me."

In front of these people, Liu Tiezhu never showed his talent.

But when Jiang saw this, he had already guessed it.

Liu Tiezhu's God-given talent should be related to exploration, perception, thoughts, and consciousness.

A few minutes later.
