The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 203: So, you deliberately abandoned Senior Sister Luo Xue? (6k)

"Senior, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu pretended to be calm and asked.

The old man ignored Yan Xiaohu's words, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sarcastic sneer.

Turning to look to the side, he said leisurely, "Du Kui, you're not kidding me, are you? Since the poison has already been applied, you can handle it by yourself. Why bother spending three top-grade spirit stones and asking me to help?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them widened their eyes instantly, their eyes full of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a black robe was seen slowly walking out from one side of the formation.

As the other party slowly took off his hood, a familiar face was revealed before the two of them.

That person was none other than the chief senior brother of Jinyang Peak - Du Kui.

At this moment, his eyes were cold and without a trace of warmth, completely different from his usual gentle and friendly self.

"Du, Senior Brother Du——"

Both of them spoke in disbelief.

"Why, why?" Zhou Qing's voice was trembling and a little hoarse. He stared at Du Kui, still unable to believe it.

Senior Brother Du, who had once lent him a helping hand when he was in danger and practiced for him before he left, now stood against him and wanted to kill the two of them.

His mind was in a mess. He didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.

Yan Xiaohu, who had come to his senses, was furious and took a step forward, exuding strong murderous intent and anger.

He also could not have imagined that Du Kui, whom he had always called his senior brother, would set a trap so deliberately, collude with the old man in the Spirit Transformation Realm, force them into this life-and-death situation, and even be so despicable as to poison the fourth brother!

Du Kui looked at the two of them quietly, his eyes full of pain and guilt.

Then, he looked at the old man and explained, "You don't understand, but my junior brother has killed two Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators who have already comprehended the rudiments of the artistic conception, so I have to be on guard."

After hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with surprise, and his originally nonchalant expression became serious.

He looked at Zhou Qing again, and seemed to have not expected that this young man in the late Nascent Soul stage would have such an amazing record.

"You're quite cautious, poisoning me first, trapping me with a formation, and even spending so much money to invite me here. Well, I'll get started now. We still have to go to Spirit Skull Mountain after I'm done!"

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand to gather his spiritual power and prepared to attack.

At this moment, Du Kui suddenly reached out to stop him.

"What? Do you regret it?" The old man frowned, his eyes full of confusion and displeasure.

Du Kui shook his head slightly and said, "I want to do it myself. I'd like to ask Senior to help me with the details."

After hearing this, the old man showed a strange look on his face. He frowned again and said jokingly, "You people from the Eastern Region really have strange ways of doing things. It seems that this is either a revenge killing or a love killing. I understand, I understand!"

The old man seemed to have thought of something and let out an obscene laugh. He then took a few steps back and stood aside, ready to see how Du Kui would act.

Du Kui saluted the old man to express his gratitude, then turned around and a blue sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword was slender and flashed with cold light, pointing directly at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu tightly gripped the big knife in his hands with both hands, his eyes were red and almost spitting fire, and he quickly protected Zhou Qing behind him.

"Du Kui, you traitor! Why did you do this?" Yan Xiaohu roared.

Du Kui looked at the two of them, especially at Zhou Qing. A trace of pain and struggle flashed in his eyes, and he choked out a sob, "My two junior brothers, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to do that. I really didn't want to do that."

"Did someone threaten you? Or did something happen?" Zhou Qingqiang endured the severe pain in his body, stood up with difficulty, stared straight at Du Kui, and asked.

He still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Senior Brother Du was only coerced and not doing so voluntarily.

Perhaps they could be of some help.

Du Kui slowly shook his head, and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

"No, but why did you kill Sima Yaoji? This is obviously none of your business." There was a hint of complaint in his voice.

After hearing this, Yan Xiaohu's anger intensified. His chest heaved violently as he shouted, "What's wrong? Is it wrong for the Fourth Brother to avenge Senior Sister Luo Xue? Is it wrong for him to pull you out of your decadence?"

Du Kui's eyes were red and tears glistened in them. He shouted excitedly, "That's right, you are all right, but I am not wrong either. It's this world that is wrong. The Tao is ruthless. I just want to go further!"

There was a hint of madness in Du Kui's voice, as if he was controlled by some obsession. After shouting this, the aura around him suddenly changed, and a suppressed and desperate aura spread wildly around him.

In an instant, the two were enveloped in it, as if they were in a dark and boundless world.

No one could be seen, but the feelings of despair and regret spread like poisonous fog, almost suffocating Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

At this moment, the two of them even felt a strong sense of world-weariness and wanted to draw their swords and commit suicide.

Pain, guilt, discomfort and regret, all kinds of pessimistic emotions intertwined, mixed in the increasingly thick darkness, were about to swallow the two of them.

Yan Xiaohu was trembling all over and crying bitterly, as if his heart was being eaten by thousands of ants. Some of the past events that he had buried deep in his heart were constantly magnified.

It was like a sharp knife cutting his heart again and again.

He slowly pointed the sword at himself, wanting to end it all once and for all and free himself, but a fierce struggle flashed in his eyes.

But in the next moment, Zhou Qing appeared behind him and grabbed the big knife. With the influx of spiritual power, Yan Xiaohu finally woke up a little.

Thinking back to what happened just now, I just feel a little scared.

Zhou Qing looked at Du Kui's twisted figure in the darkness in front of him and fell silent.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if he was truly feeling something.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something.

"So, at Lingku Mountain, it wasn't that you were incapable of saving Senior Sister Luo Xue, but... you did it on purpose!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the painful mood in the entire darkness doubled again, and Yan Xiaohu on the side was full of disbelief.

After a long moment, Du Kui's voice slowly rang out from the darkness: "I have just entered a state of decadence, guided by this endless suffering. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing nodded slightly. His expression was complicated and difficult to read, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He slowly spoke, "That's cruel enough. So, after I killed Sima Yaoji, pulling you out of your decadence actually destroyed the artistic conception you had comprehended."

When Du Kui heard this, the darkness around him suddenly fluctuated violently.

Countless black air currents intertwined and collided with each other, making a low roar, but in just a moment, the fluctuations quickly subsided and everything returned to normal.

Du Kui's voice came from the depths of darkness, sounding a little hoarse with emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

"I swear, I never thought of this before, because she is not only my junior sister, but also my childhood sweetheart."

"I devoted myself to being good to Xue'er. For her, I spared no expense, even nearly losing my life several times."

"But, ever since I realized that something was wrong with Master, at that moment, I seemed to understand something. Only by becoming stronger can I be qualified to protect him and have the ability to resist."

Du Kui's voice trembled slightly and echoed in the darkness. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be suppressed.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu's expressions suddenly changed.

Yes, as a close friend, how could he not notice that Uncle Gao Xuan had been replaced by someone else?

It turned out that from that time on, the belief he had always held on to had begun to collapse.

"You may not believe this, but Gao Xuan, my master, is actually an undercover agent of the Cang Yan Dao Palace!"

Du Kui's voice, with an indescribable complex emotion, sounded faintly again.

"On one side is the master who introduced me to the path of cultivation, and on the other side is the sect I grew up in and cherish as my life. How can I choose?"

Du Kui's voice suddenly rose, filled with pain and entanglement.

It is a kind of helplessness of being played around by fate.

Loyalty or betrayal?

Family affection or justice?

He was constantly torn between the two sides.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

He also thought that Du Kui had discovered that Master Gao Xuan had been possessed by another body.

"So, I want to become a god, I want to become stronger!" Du Kui suddenly raised his head and roared, with endless struggle and unwillingness.

"When I decided to sacrifice Xue'er one day in the future, do you know how painful it was for me? I really loved Xue'er. I loved her so much that I couldn't even tell what was true and what was false."

As he spoke, Du Kui's emotions completely got out of control. He cried and laughed at the same time. His laughter was full of sadness and his crying was full of despair. He seemed to have completely fallen into a state of madness.

"At Skull Mountain, Xue'er burned her essence to allow me to escape, and used forbidden secret techniques to desperately stop Sima Yaoji."

"I looked back every three steps. Every step I took felt like thousands of needles were piercing my heart. That moment was the most painful decision I've ever made in my life!"

Du Kui continued speaking, his voice already heavily choked with sobs.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's face was filled with anger and contempt. "I feel so sorry for Senior Sister Luo. If she were still alive and knew the truth, I wonder if she would regret her sacrifice."

Zhou Qing's voice trembled slightly at this moment, as he was shaking with anger at Du Kui's actions.

I just feel that Senior Sister Luo Xue’s efforts are so unworthy. This sincere feeling was actually trampled upon by Du Kui.

Du Kui was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Maybe, but there's no chance to start over again in this world."

Although there was a subtle hint of guilt in his tone, it was more of a stubborn obstinacy.

"Disgusting!" Yan Xiaohu, who finally understood everything, widened his eyes, spat fiercely, and cursed loudly.

At this moment, he finally understood what a wolf in sheep's clothing meant.

He had always regarded Du Kui as a respected senior brother, but he never expected that the other party would be so hypocritical and cruel.

Du Kui pretended not to hear and continued, "I don't want to kill you. You are my junior apprentice brothers, but my artistic conception is still lacking. As long as I complete it, I can cross the Spiritual Transformation Realm in one step."

At this moment, his voice was devoid of the previous frenzy and pain, replaced by a cold calm, so calm it was frightening. "My original plan was to slowly gain enlightenment amidst the suffering, and after a breakthrough, seek revenge on Sima Yaoji personally. But you arbitrarily opened this closed loop. You sowed the seeds, and you must bear the consequences."

Having said this, his voice suddenly became cold and resolute.

"When I personally put an end to you all, repaying kindness with hatred, I will feel even more pain, despair, and confusion, until... a breakthrough."

Du Kui's words revealed a crazy obsession. In order to break through the realm, he has completely lost his mind.

After hearing this, the two felt their hair stand on end. The Du Kui who used to be so loyal and righteous has now become so strange and scary.

At this moment, Zhou Qing seemed to understand what Du Kui had said before leaving: not to trust anyone, including himself.

It turned out that he had already laid the groundwork for today's betrayal.

"Two junior brothers, have a safe journey!"

After Du Kui finished speaking, twisted figures with a strong aura of despair suddenly appeared in the darkness.

These figures bared their fangs and claws, let out blood-curdling roars, and rushed towards the two men frantically.

Yan Xiaohu was horrified and shouted anxiously, "Old Four, I'll hold you back, you run!"

After he finished speaking, as his Nascent Soul grew stronger, his aura suddenly rose to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Then he brandished the broadsword in his hand and rushed forward without hesitation.

Zhou Qing sighed heavily, looked at Yan Xiaohu's back, and suddenly there was a post in his hand.

"This world is not as beautiful as I imagined!"

……

Lin Jin, the ancestor of the Chiyan Sect, a little-known sect in the southern region of Lingyun Prefecture, already has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
The battle at Canglan Mountain caused heavy damage to countless sects in the Eastern Region, which gradually weakened.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and like everyone else, he certainly wants to take advantage of it to make a fortune.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The five famous sects in the Eastern Region have a profound foundation, and I would never dare to provoke them easily.

However, small sects like his own Chiyan Sect have become the most suitable "prey" in this chaotic situation.

During that period, he relied on his own means and strength to plunder resources everywhere and made a fortune.

But there were too many people coming, some of whom he could not afford to offend. Even the protective formations of some sects were extremely difficult to deal with.

Until one day, a young man suddenly came to the door and said straight out that he wanted to ask an outsider like him to kill someone, and the reward he offered was extremely tempting - three top-grade spirit stones.

At that time, his first reaction was to kill the young man and take the three top-grade spirit stones for himself.

Anyway, the situation in the Eastern Region is chaotic now, and no one will care if one more person dies.

As if sensing his murderous intent, the young man took out the token of the core disciple of Taiqing Sect.

After thinking it over again and again, he had to give up his murderous intention. If he rashly attacked his core disciples, it would undoubtedly bring him into great trouble.

Finally, he agreed to the young man's deal.

According to the agreement, the other party will notify him to take action at that time.

But what he didn't expect was that this wait would last nearly two years.

Until a month ago, Lin Jin received news from Du Kui again.

Especially when he learned that this mission was actually a fight among fellow disciples, he couldn't help but feel a strong interest in it.

Moreover, if you use the image stone to secretly record the image, you may be able to use it as a threat in the future to obtain more resources.

Thinking of this, he adjusted the image stone that was cleverly hidden on his shoulder, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Then he slowly took out a piece of top-grade spirit stone that was used as a deposit, placed it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully, and then snorted coldly.

"You are just a little kid after all. You look down on the first half of your life in the Spirit Transformation Realm. I have experienced more in my life than you have walked. Fortunately, I was careful." Lin Jin said to himself.

The poison on it is extraordinary and will not take effect in a short period of time. It is really impossible for ordinary people in the Spirit Transformation Realm to detect it.

"This kid is a ruthless person." He not only asks people to help him do things, but also asks them to shut up. He is cautious and thoughtful in his work. Once he becomes a god, he will have a bright future.

After collecting the spirit stone, Lin Jin looked at the black fog below again, but suddenly, a deafening cry pierced the sky.

Then, a huge golden-winged roc suddenly rushed out from the mist of artistic conception.

The roc was surrounded by golden flames, emitting a heart-pounding hot aura.

When the wings are spread, each feather is like a sharp sword, shining with a metallic luster.

Mysterious runes flow on the tips of the feathers, which are the traces of the interweaving of time and power.

A pair of huge eyes, like two burning suns, stared at him sharply.

This made Lin Jin's face change drastically, and he just stood there in a daze.

Why would a golden-winged roc with such noble blood suddenly appear below?
Could it be the Soul-Slaying Demon King who died in Lingku Mountain?

Soon, he noticed that the sharp claws of the Golden-Winged Roc were tightly grasping the young man with a round face and small eyes in the early Nascent Soul stage. With a sudden swing, it actually threw him out of the formation.

Below, the thick black fog dissipated, and Du Kui was lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Aren't you poisoned? What kind of magical power is this?" Du Kui shouted in horror.

Zhou Qing indifferently shifted his gaze away from Lin Jin and then looked at Du Kui.

Don't forget, you are a first-class formation master, and this small formation can't trap him at all.

At first glance, it's full of flaws.

However, he had used the [Sudden Enlightenment Post] to thoroughly cultivate the [Emperor Glory Sutra] to perfection.

It is incredibly powerful and can definitely fight against a strong person in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Zhou Qing stared at Du Kui coldly, then roared to the sky again, like a rolling thunder.

Then it flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind and swooping towards Du Kui like a golden torrent.

"Five top-grade spirit stones!" Du Kui shouted anxiously to Lin Jin, holding the sword in his hand horizontally, mobilizing all the spiritual power in his body, and quickly blocked it.

Lin Jin finally woke up from his dream, his eyes fixed on the golden-winged Roc in front of him. A trace of disbelief first flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then a hint of greed quickly ignited.

"This is actually a magical power of transformation! If such an astonishing and astonishing magic skill belonged to me..." His Adam's apple rolled up and down, he swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of uncontrollable excitement.

The next moment, a dark green light suddenly burst out from his eyes. As he took a step forward, a thick green mist instantly rose from the soles of his feet and spread throughout the entire formation.

In the fog, there was a faint sound of countless poisonous snakes hissing, sharp and shrill, making people shudder.

Immediately afterwards, dense swarms of poisonous snakes swarmed out, their triangular heads raised high, and their cold snake eyes stared at Zhou Qing, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

"Such a precious technique, falling into the hands of a young man like you, is simply a waste of heaven's gift. Today, it belongs to me!"

Lin Jin laughed wildly, and after he finished shouting, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and the dark green mist became thicker and thicker, causing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to vibrate.

The number of poisonous snakes also increased exponentially. The next moment, they grew wings and swarmed towards the golden-winged Roc.

This is his poisonous state of mind!
In order to break through the Spirit Transformation Realm, he risked his life and secluded himself in that dark and gloomy poison cave for more than 300 years, going through countless life and death tests.

He almost turned himself into a wisp of poisonous smoke to obtain this hard-earned artistic conception.

shhhhhh!
The golden-winged roc transformed by Zhou Qing nimbly dodged Du Kui's sword energy. When he saw Lin Jin rushing towards him with countless poisonous snakes, he could not help but snort coldly.

Although Du Kui is very scheming, his own strength is limited after all. Especially that half-baked artistic conception is nothing to be afraid of in front of his powerful mental power that far exceeds that of his peers.

And this outer realm of transformation is the key this time.

Moreover, he wanted to end the battle quickly. After all, compared with the real Divine Transformation Realm, the spiritual power stored in himself was limited and far less than that of the opponent.

In addition, the Eastern Region is now a mixed crowd with various forces undercurrents. If someone else takes advantage of the situation, it will be troublesome.

"What a spicy snack!" Zhou Qing laughed loudly towards the sky, flapped his wings, and set off a strong golden hurricane, heading directly towards the overwhelming venomous snakes.

In an instant, wherever the hurricane passed, the poisonous snakes were swept into it and torn into pieces.

Dark green blood splattered in the air, emitting a pungent smell.

Du Kui immediately jumped up and made so many preparations, but an accident still happened in the end.

Now he has no way out and can only try his best to work together with Lin Jin to take down Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing spun rapidly and flapped his wings towards him so fast that the man had no time to react.

There was a loud "clang" sound, like the ringing of a huge bell.

Du Kui was directly knocked backwards by this huge force, drew an arc in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

The long sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, the knuckles were cracked, and blood kept flowing down the hilt.

He looked at Zhou Qing's golden feathers in shock.

What a strong defense!

Lin Jin, who was approaching at this moment, did not give Zhou Qing the opportunity to continue attacking Du Kui. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a huge nine-headed snake appeared out of thin air.

The nine heads opened their bloody mouths at the same time, spraying out dark green venom columns with a pungent smell as they roared towards the Golden-winged Roc.

Zhou Qing dodged at high speed, flapped his wings, and stirred up gusts of wind, blowing some of the venom towards Du Kui.

For a moment, Du Kui retreated repeatedly, coughing non-stop due to choking, his face full of pain, and he didn't dare to move forward at all.
