Volume I: Mountain Ghost Rumor, Chapter 35: Life and Death

The outsider who had just commented on the Body Refining Realm being divided into lower, middle, upper, and top grades said fiercely: "Do it together! No one is allowed to stay out of it!"

The other two glanced at the separated corpse of their companion and sneered: "What kind of fart are you talking about!"

They were all in the Qi Gathering Realm, picking heaven and earth spiritual energy to refine into moist True Qi, so their means were naturally more than Zhao Chan's.

They chanted magic formulas one after another, staring closely at Zhao Chan's back.

The young man jumped onto the rock wall, then jumped to the steep mountain road. Beside it was a forest formed by dozens of towering trees. He didn't even think about it, his body turned, and he rushed into the forest, using the trees to cover his tracks.

"Sigh!" an outsider sighed heavily, scattered his True Qi, endured the backlash of the technique, and immediately flew to chase into the forest, fearing that if he delayed for a while, he would lose Zhao Chan.

The techniques of those two were already formed, so they could only throw them at the rocks and trees.

Finally, they were half a beat slow, following the person who rushed forward first, and chased into the forest.

A turning point occurred, and Zhao Chan didn't expect that he had killed one person before reaching the location he had chosen.

His thoughts turned rapidly. He hid by a large tree, intending to repeat the same trick.

Zhao Chan knew very clearly in his heart that at the moment of life and death, no matter what the reason or purpose of the outsider cultivators chasing him was, he must kill them all so that he could live to ask—why are you always making things difficult for me?!

His breathing slowed down, reducing the frequency.

Hearing the footsteps of the outsider cultivator, he held his breath instantly.

At the same time, his eyes lit up. There was only one person's footsteps!

Gathering lacquer all year round, Zhao Chan was like a fish in water in the mountains and forests!

He knew too well the way of survival in the big mountains and forests.

His right hand clutched the peach branch tightly, and the blood stained on the new buds dripped onto the weeds on the ground.

Close!

Zhao Chan could even distinguish the heavy breathing of this outsider cultivator.

Was this person injured?

The young man's mood remained extremely stable, and even his expression didn't show the slightest joy.

He was waiting, waiting for this outsider cultivator to pass by his side.

But, things went against his wishes.

Zhao Chan heard messy footsteps again, and two people followed behind that person.

If he killed this person, he would definitely be entangled and it would be difficult to break free again!

Abandoned the ambush instantly.

He continued to wait patiently.

The wind in the forest was stuffy and humid, sweat beads seeped from his forehead, his eyes didn't blink, and the breath he held never loosened.

In the most miserable days of the past few years, in order to fill his stomach, he had to catch fish in the river. He could hold his breath for an incense stick, dive to the bottom of the river, and fight with those slippery big fish. The winner was always him.

"Where is the brat? Why can't I even see his shadow?"

"Be careful, maybe he is hiding nearby."

"Why not burn the mountain."

One person pinched the fire formula, holding it without releasing it.

"Burn!"

Flames spewed out from his wide-open mouth.

Ignited weeds and fallen leaves, the flames climbed onto the tree body, and as the stuffy wind blew, the fire became bigger.

Thick smoke scattered.

They thought that in the face of such a scene, Zhao Chan would definitely be forced to run around and expose his tracks.

Everything around was choking smoke.

The flames burned to the front. Zhao Chan quietly poked his head out to quickly lock one person's position.

Crept around to the back.

The sound of burning weeds and tree leaves covered his footsteps.

"He is there!" one roared.

Zhao Chan's speed of flying was really too fast.

Only a few breaths.

He was less than a zhang away from the selected outsider cultivator.

This outsider cultivator immediately gripped his weapon tightly, wanting to fight Zhao Chan in close quarters.

Who would have thought that the peach branch easily cut off his weapon.

Zhao Chan rushed to his side, the sword trace appeared...

Immediately after, the young man flew across the burning flames and black smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When the two outsider cultivators felt beside this person, the sword trace that seemed to be imprinted in the air slowly dissipated. This person's right hand holding the weapon hung down powerlessly, his chest with his head tilted forward, and his lower body fell backward.

One sword, cut into two halves!

The two looked at this scene in horror.

"Chase!"

"Why don't we..."

"Chase! Can't not chase! If we let him go to the Yang County Demon Slaying Division to report and ask for help, we will also die!"

This person stared at his companion's side face and roared suppressedly: "Tell me the truth, is he really in the top-grade Body Refining Realm?! I have never seen a Body Refining Realm cultivator who kills Qi Gathering Realm cultivators like pigs and dogs!!"

The companion sighed: "Don't you understand yet?"

"He... is he?"

"Yes."

"Why... why..."

"We have no choice but to intercept and kill him! You know better than me why we must kill him!!" he roared.

"Now that things have come to this, now that things have come to this..." this person murmured with empty eyes, "Let's go, don't get involved in this muddy water."

"Heh, did they die in vain?"

"Wei Yuan, do you want to kill me."

Wei Yuan chanted the formula, extinguished the flames with a water method, and could vaguely see Zhao Chan's agile figure running on the mountain road.

"The elder of Xianfeng Valley talked about the top-grade Body Refining Realm. Such a heaven-favored child will sooner or later become a giant. Bao Bin, use your brain to think carefully. Even if we run away, he will cultivate successfully in the future, will he let us go?!" Wei Yuan roared.

Bao Bin sneered: "I won't play with you anymore, whoever loves to do it, anyway, I am leaving."

"Bao Bin, don't be anxious, we have a chance to kill him!" Wei Yuan hurriedly grabbed him.

"Hmph, I came to join the fun, and it's not that I must get the Dharma artifacts and treasures collected by the Hundred Treasure Zhen. I won't play, I am leaving!"

"You..." Wei Yuan said hatefully, "I have already explained the truth, if you don't kill him, he will kill you!"

"How to kill me? I will leave the Xitang Kingdom all the way. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the birds fly. I will run far away, how can he kill me!"

"You offended the Demon Slaying Division! Who doesn't know that the Demon Slaying Divisions in various places are one? As long as there is a pursuit order, how can you run away?!!" Wei Yuan said loudly.

Bao Bin was silent: "The Demon Slaying Division is the most protective of its own."

"Right."

"Go, must kill him."

Wei Yuan was relieved, and the two chased Zhao Chan again.

Zhao Chan had already arrived at the gentle hillside one step ahead. The hillside was densely forested. This was the location he had imagined for the fight.

Now he, his face was blackened by smoke, his upper body was naked. When he passed through the raging flames, he was not unscathed. The flames ignited his clothes, he took them off and threw them into the fire, his two arms were slightly burned, fortunately, there was no major problem.

Zhao Chan seemed tired, stopped, and rested.

It also seemed that he was very confident in his current self, waiting for the pursuers to kill them all at once.

His face was very calm.

So calm that when he saw Wei Yuan and Bao Bin chasing, he was like a pool of stagnant water.

Pan teacher said that a young man should have the youthful spirit of a young man, but Zhao Chan was more accustomed to doing his best to make his mind stable and his head clear when facing danger.

The youthful spirit of a young man should also be there, but not now.

On the cliff that Zhao Chan and others didn't notice.

Huangfu Changqiu and Xun Lan stood side by side.

On the high rock not far from them, Bai Youjun was holding Bai Yuqing's arm extremely nervously.

In fact, Bai Yuqing almost took action to help Zhao Chan kill these outsider cultivators.

Once was when the outsider cultivator used the technique of driving ghosts to deal with him, and once was just now in the forest.

She didn't expect Zhao Chan to dare to ambush and kill one person under their noses.

Too arrogant!

Truly too reckless!

Didn't Zhao Chan think in advance that what if he killed that person but was surrounded and killed by the remaining two?

Why is this young man's courage so big?!

Bai Youjun was so nervous that her lips were white, she forgot how many times she had begged her elder sister.

"Elder Sister, save the young master..."

"Elder Sister, the young master is injured, look at his arm, it was burned by fire."

"Please, don't let the young master die."

Bai Yuqing looked at Zhao Chan, who was naked and looked embarrassed, and said softly: "If I take action, I will definitely be found by the Soul Catching Instrument of the Qingfeng Pavilion. You don't know the power of the Soul Catching Instrument. It can not only capture the souls of the lower four realms within a hundred miles, but also locate the position of cultivators within a thousand miles based on a wisp of aura."

"Elder Sister is accompanying me to visit the mountains and water! Hmph! Elder Sister lied to me! Elder Sister, just... just kill those two bad guys very, very quickly..."

Bai Yuqing glared at her: "Don't be unreasonable, I already revealed it to you before! Don't think that by playing deaf and dumb, I can follow your wishes! When it is necessary to take action, I will save Zhao Chan."

With Bai Yuqing's guarantee, Bai Youjun breathed a sigh of relief.

Xun Lan looked at the sisters and smiled at Huangfu Changqiu: "Fairy Bai cares about that little guy."

Huangfu Changqiu smiled bitterly: "Senior Sister Xun, let alone Fairy Bai, just now even I couldn't help but want to take action. The brat is really too risky."

"Risky? I think Zhao Chan is too steady," Xun Lan said slowly.

"Steady? Is this still steady?" Huangfu Changqiu said in surprise. "If our second senior sister of Baoyu Studio came, she would have saved the brat long ago, not letting him play on the tip of the knife."

Xun Lan looked at Zhao Chan who was eager to try, and smiled slowly: "I said, Senior Sister Lin was not as good as him in the Body Refining Realm. I saw your surprised expression at the time, but now you believe it, right?"

When Xun Lan mentioned that "Guye Sword Immortal" Lin Wei was not as good as Zhao Chan in the Body Refining Realm, her surprised expression flashed away. In order to cover up the embarrassment, she changed the subject and didn't talk about it.

Huangfu Changqiu said helplessly: "Senior Sister Xun is right, but in order to snatch Zhao Chan from Fairy Bai's hands, I will take action to kill them in time if he is not an opponent of the two Qi Gathering Realm cultivators later."

"You still don't believe it?"

"Don't believe it. Guye Sword Immortal Lin is very popular in Baoyu Studio,"

Xun Lan didn't think much this time and smiled directly: "What does it have to do with Lin Wei's supporters?"

"Unless the brat's record is far better than Senior Sister Lin..."

"That makes sense." Xun Lan smiled exceptionally excitedly, pointing to Zhao Chan who was gradually running, "Killing a Middle-Grade Qi Gathering Realm and a cultivator close to the Upper Grade Qi Gathering Realm in the Upper Grade Body Refining Realm, does it count?"

Huangfu Changqiu really prepared to save Zhao Chan at any time, she nodded: "It counts, but Senior Sister Lin had a brilliant record in the lower four realms, I hope he can do the same."

On the other side.

Bai Yuqing narrowed her eyes. She also intended to save Zhao Chan at a critical moment, so as not to let this genius discovered in Youju Town die in the hands of two stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Bai Youjun opened her cherry mouth slightly, her eyes wide open. She couldn't understand no matter how she thought about it. The young master was clearly weaker than the two, why did he dare to charge and kill in reverse?

Doesn't the young master want to live?!

The sound of the wind seemed to be wantonly mocking Zhao Chan's overestimation of his own strength.

The young man sneered.

He caught a glimpse of several demon beasts lurking in the jungle, as if intimidated by the killing intent emitted by the three, lingering and not moving forward.

Zhao Chan's attention was still focused on Wei Yuan and Bao Bin. He vaguely heard the two chanting magic formulas, and the hand seals were pinched very quickly.

He could only clutch the peach branch with new buds tightly, scraping strength again and again, making himself faster, faster, and faster...

Wei Yuan was red-faced, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, Bao Bin glanced at him, and took the lead in releasing the technique of driving ghosts.

This was the second time he used the technique of driving ghosts, the first time was cracked by Zhao Chan in a way he didn't expect.

Gloomy wind.

Ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Zhao Chan was as calm as watching a not-so-wonderful shadow puppet show.

Still the Wind Summoning Talisman, Flame Talisman.

Left hand pinched the formula.

Wind helped the fire.

Counter-rushed toward the gloomy wind.

It was exactly the same as last time, the ghost soul wailed miserably in an instant, Zhao Chan followed closely behind the big fire, slashed the peach branch, and added a sword.

The technique of driving ghosts ended here.

He was also smoked by the flames until tears flowed.

Now was not the time to be distracted. Zhao Chan opened his eyes, letting the tears cross his face. He must see clearly the Wei Yuan who was still performing the technique. He felt intuitively that Wei Yuan's technique was definitely far beyond the technique of driving ghosts. Once it was not handled properly, there would be a danger to his life.

Wei Yuan roared: "Die!"

His clothes were torn into strips and floated down, his body was crimson, and blood beads slowly seeped out.

Bao Bin was horrified: "You are crazy! This is... this is blood sacrifice?"

Wei Yuan sneered: "We have no way back."

"Ah? It's just... it's just that you don't need to sacrifice yourself, we can still run away."

"Who said I sacrificed myself?" Wei Yuan opened his hands, it was a few hairs.

Bao Bin asked suspiciously: "Whose hair is this?"

"Yours," Wei Yuan laughed wildly.

"Madman! You are a madman! I will kill you!"

Bao Bin hadn't had time to kill Wei Yuan, his raised hand instantly froze.

His expression maintained anger.

The blood beads seeping from Wei Yuan's body gathered into a straight line and flowed into Bao Bin's mouth.

In a short moment.

The blood in Bao Bin's body seemed to boil.

Wei Yuan prayed secretly: "Give me three more breaths, just three breaths!"

And Zhao Chan had already sprinted to two zhang away.

Wei Yuan saw very clearly the new buds swaying slightly on the peach branch.

The next moment, a roar that didn't sound like a human voice shouted from Bao Bin's throat.

Bao Bin turned into a blood shadow and pounced on Zhao Chan.

Wei Yuan laughed wildly: "Done! Done!"

"What's done?" Zhao Chan asked back without waves.

"???"

Wei Yuan rubbed his eyes hard.

On the way here, taking advantage of Bao Bin not paying attention, he took a few hairs that fell on his shoulder, used the hair as a guide for blood sacrifice, and sacrificed Bao Bin in exchange for a blood demon. Although this blood demon was weak, it was also a real Upper Grade Qi Gathering Realm, more than enough to kill Zhao Chan.

Why? He wasn't killed by the blood demon?

Why?!

Wei Yuan calmed down and saw that the blood demon had been slashed into two halves by the peach branch from the chest.

The wound was very smooth.

Now, the peach branch was placed by his neck. Zhao Chan used a little force, and he could be separated from his head.

Wei Yuan couldn't believe it for a long time, and asked repeatedly: "Why?"

"Why?" Zhao Chan said softly, looking at the peach branch Lao Liu gave him, "Don't know, the blood demon seemed to be afraid of it, it stood still when it pounced on me."

"It? Is it this peach branch that breaks when folded?"

"Yes," the young man nodded.

Wei Yuan murmured to himself: "Peach wood restrains ghosts, the blood demon I exchanged for sacrificing Bao Bin still belongs to the category of ghosts, but... but it is a blood demon! Ordinary peach wood can't help it, could it be... could it be that the peach branch is a Dharma treasure far beyond my imagination?!"

Zhao Chan smiled.

Finally, there was the youthful spirit of a young man.

He smiled: "Perhaps it is, however, you have to die too." ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
