C357

The size of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range wasn't that big, but it wasn't small either. At the very least, if Shi Ling, Ji Wutian, and Liu Tie, the few cultivators who had reached the level of Blood Coagulation or above were to rush about here, they would also feel a sense of emptiness, especially the sea of trees that they could see from a thousand meters up in the sky.

At this moment, the three of them had been crazily running in the forest for almost five hours. It was unknown how many fierce beasts they had killed along the way, but they were still several hundred miles away from their destination.

Therefore, after passing through a wet swamp, Qian Hee suggested taking a break. Currently, he was the weakest out of the three of them and his physical strength was lacking, so he naturally could not run like Shi Ling and Ji Wutian for five hours without taking a break.

Qian Hee was sitting under a huge tree and breathing heavily. At the same time, he took out a map from his Storage Ring and looked at it.

At this moment, Shi Ling and Ji Wutian also stopped. They came to Qian Hee's side, looked at the map in Qian Hee's hands, and heard him say, "We still need to pass through a wetland and a canyon to reach our destination."

He then took out a bottle of water from the Storage Ring and drank a few gulps. After wiping the corner of his mouth with his own sleeve, he said: "The danger level of the wetlands is much higher, so I think we should rest here for a while, until we recover our strength and continue our journey. Otherwise, if we meet any strong fierce beasts that have consumed too much of our energy, we'll be in trouble."

Shi Ling nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's rest here for now."

With that, Shi Ling also sat down with his legs crossed and his eyes fixed on the map on the ground. At this moment, Shi Ling's breathing was very stable and there were no signs of fatigue on his face.

Although they were both experts at the great perfection of the Blood Coagulation, Shi Ling cultivated both the Ten Fiends Body Refinement Art and the Life Refinement Art at the same time, so his physical strength was much stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation level. Thus, at the same distance, when running, Wu Tie fell to the ground, but Shi Ling's face remained calm, this was the benefit of cultivating the Body Refinement Art.

He immediately turned his head around and his gaze looked at a mountain not far away. From his serious expression, one could tell that he seemed to have sensed something, and at this moment, Shi Ling also discovered Ji Wutian's abnormality, so he followed Ji Wutian's gaze.

At the same time, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Wutian's eyes were still fixed on the mountain. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and frowned. He said with a heavy tone, "I feel like there's some kind of special energy inside that mountain!"

Hearing that, Shi Ling's eyes slightly widened, he then stood up and muttered: "Floral Pupil, open!"

With that, a pair of blue eyes with three petals appeared in front of Shi Ling's eyes. Instantly, the mountain peak in front of Shi Ling became transparent. Soon after, everything inside the mountain was seen clearly by Shi Ling.

At this moment, Ji Wutian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shi Ling's eyes. As he saw the blue pupils slowly rotate, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "What a powerful eye technique!"

At this time, Shi Ling closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the Floral Pupil had already disappeared. He turned his head and looked straight into Ji Wutian's eyes. Do you see anything? "

However, Shi Ling revealed a doubtful expression. He lightly shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly!"

Ji Wutian was a little surprised when he heard that and said, "How can it be? Even someone as powerful as you can't see the scene inside clearly?"

Shi Ling nodded, and then looked towards the top of the mountain, "That place seems to be blocked by some kind of natural barrier, it's kind of like a formation, and also kind of like some kind of magnetic field. So, I can't see the scene inside clearly, but the only thing I can be sure of is that there must be something wrong inside!"

Ji Wutian glanced at Qian Hee who was sitting cross-legged behind him and constantly absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world. He first thought for a while and seemed to have thought of something, then turned to Shi Ling and said, "Can you see the flow of spiritual energy around the cave?"

Hearing that, Shi Ling exclaimed, then Ji Wutian explained: "Through the flow of spirit energy, we can determine the strength of the array barrier inside the mountain, if the array is weaker, we can go there to see, maybe we can find some treasures, after all, in the Demonic Beast mountain range, many peerless experts have fallen! If we can pick up one or two of their remnants, then even if we don't get any rankings in this month's competition, our trip here will not be in vain! "

Shi Ling thought what Ji Wutian said was reasonable, so he said, "Alright, I'll take a look!"

This time, he looked around at the flow of spirit energy. However, what made Shi Ling a little dumbfounded was that the scene that appeared in his eyes was not the spirit energy flowing into the mountain, but rather, there was a very peculiar type of energy flowing out from the mountain, and it was also continuously repelling the spirit energy in the surroundings.

Seeing this, Shi Ling was a little shocked. Honestly speaking, this was the first time he encountered something like this. He immediately looked towards the direction where the energy flow was.

Ji Wutian, who was at the side, saw Shi Ling raise his head to look at the sky before turning around to look at his back. Ji Wutian, on the other hand, saw Shi Ling raise his head to look at the sky before looking behind him.

Ji Wutian quickly asked, "How is it?"

Shi Ling said with a frown, "There is a very strange energy flow inside the mountain that is constantly flowing outwards towards that direction!"

As Shi Ling said this, he pointed in a direction. At this time, Qian Hee, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the direction Shi Ling was pointing in and said, "Is it our destination?"

Shi Ling nodded and said, "I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this!"

With that, he turned to Qian Hee and asked, "How's your recovery going?"

Qian Hee stood up from the ground and said, "No problem."

Shi Ling acknowledged and said to Ji Wutian, "There might be a problem with that mountain. With that terrifying energy body, I can confirm that it is impossible to break through its barrier with our strength. Therefore, we should hurry to our destination and prepare to avoid any unforeseen events."

Ji Wutian looked at the mountain with reluctance. However, when he thought of Shi Ling's words, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go now!"

Saying that, Ji Wutian took the lead and rushed out. Shi Ling and Qian Hee naturally followed closely behind.

However, before the three of them had run far, a burst of battle cries sounded out from behind them!

The three of them were shocked and looked at each other. Then, they nodded at the same time and suddenly disappeared from where they were. Jumping onto a tree nearby, they hid their auras.

With the strength of the three of them, they could be considered the highest existence among all the outer sect disciples, not to mention all the other Spirit Sword Sect disciples. If they met any Spirit Sword Sect disciples this time, it would be very difficult to find them.

Shi Ling, who was in a tree hole, had a Stamping in his hand. He muttered: "Shadow Seizing Divine Technique, Escape!"

With that, Shi Ling's body wiggled. He then turned into a black shadow and blended into the darkness of the tree hole. However, a pair of blue eyes with three blooming petals appeared.

Shi Ling looked towards the source of the voice and saw that in the distance, there were around a dozen Spirit Sword Sect disciples encircling and killing a skinny figure. From the way his body was covered with sword scars and the blood that flowed down his body, it wasn't hard to tell that he was probably chased all the way here.

However, Shi Ling, who was hiding on the tree, slightly opened his eyes when he saw that person and exclaimed in his heart, "Qiu Rann?!"

That's right, the person who was being surrounded by more than a dozen people was one of Shi Ling's few friends, Qiu Rann!

And among those experts, a slim and sexy figure suddenly flew out, a snow-silver sword in her hand pointed straight at Qiu Rann's throat.

Shi Ling also recognized that gentle and graceful figure. She was also a Mountain and River List expert, and she was once defeated by one of the top ten Heaven's Chosen, Ouyang Yuqing.

Shi Ling didn't expect to meet this woman again at this place. He couldn't help but sigh at the narrow path between enemies.

Qiu Rann, on the other hand, saw Ouyang Yuqing's long sword about to pierce through Qiu Rann's throat. Just when Qiu Rann was ready to die, a sharp sword qi shot toward Ouyang Yuqing.

Ouyang Yuqing's beautiful eyes turned, and she suddenly felt the terrifying sharpness of the sword qi. Immediately, she changed the direction of her sword towards Qiu Rann and directly clashed with the sword qi. Immediately, a strong gale spread out and cut off the surrounding trees.

When Qiu Rann saw this, he knew that he was saved. Thus, he jumped backwards and it was actually possible for him to stay a certain distance away from Ouyang Yuqing.

Ouyang Yuqing, on the other hand, looked towards the direction where the Sword Qi was shot with fury and pouted, "Who's here? State your name! "

The experts behind Ouyang Yuqing all stood behind her at the same time after she said this, and all of them were on guard against that direction. Although their strength was not as strong as Ouyang Yuqing's, they were still quite powerful, so they were able to see how terrifying that strand of sword Qi was.

Ouyang Yuqing's voice had just sounded when a black figure quietly drilled out from the ground. It was as though a person was hiding in the water and was slowly peeking his head out.

When Qiu Rann, who was watching from afar, saw this, he also showed a serious expression. He had never seen Shi Ling use the Shadow Seizing Divine Technique, so he naturally didn't know what the black shadow in front of him was.

As for Ouyang Yuqing and the rest, their expressions became increasingly serious. Soon after, a calm voice was heard, "My surname is Shi, and my name is' Ling 'and my name is' Heaven's Desire '. You can call me' Shiyu Tian '!"

After those words were spoken, the black figure suddenly took shape. What appeared before everyone's eyes was a delicate and pretty young man.

When Ouyang Yuqing saw Shi Ling's appearance, her eyes slightly widened as she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you!"

Back then, when Ouyang Yuqing and Chen Lu competed for the top three positions of outer sect, Ouyang Yuqing was defeated because she was inferior to Chen Lu's Second Level Sword Qi, and her brother, Ouyang Yuan, was dissatisfied with this outcome. He wanted to find trouble with Chen Lu, but in the end, it ended up like the person in front of her.

Ouyang Yuqing gritted her teeth as she thought of this. The snow-silver sword in her hand tightened even more. At the same time, an invisible sword Qi surrounded her, as if she could go berserk at any moment.

At the same time, when Qiu Rann saw that it was Shi Ling, he immediately went wild with joy. He ran to Shi Ling's side and said, "Senior Shi Ling!"

Shi Ling glanced at his wounded body and said, "Are you alright?"

Qiu Rann shook his head, but Shi Ling took out a bottle of healing pills from the Heart Ring and threw it to him, saying: "Eat this, and recover well."

Qiu Rann nodded his head in acknowledgement. After receiving the healing pills, he impatiently poured them into his mouth, as if he was not worried that Wu Tie would mess with the pills. When Wu Tie saw this, he could not help but chuckle softly, thinking: "Perhaps this is the most basic trust between people?"

After that, Shi Ling looked at Ouyang Yuqing and said, "Beautiful girl, I don't know why my friend offended you to the point that you brought so many people to kill him."

Ouyang Yuqing snorted and said, "I don't need to explain anything to a dead man!"

As she spoke, she took the lead to charge at Shi Ling. The snow-silver sword in her hand left a deep sword mark on the ground and a thin layer of frost covered the ground she passed by.

From the looks of it, the other party clearly wanted to kill Shi Ling as quickly as possible!

However, Shi Ling suddenly raised his hand and a ball of fire suddenly rose up, forming a thick wall of fire in front of Shi Ling.

When Ouyang Yuqing's snow-white longsword struck the fire wall, an extremely cold aura was released. Following that, the fire wall was quickly frozen by Ouyang Yuqing.

At this moment, the fire wall suddenly exploded and started to envelop Ouyang Yuqing from the back. From afar, it looked like a huge flame net was covering Ouyang Yuqing and constantly shrinking.

When Ouyang Yuqing saw this, she placed the sword horizontally in front of her. A finger slipped on the blade, causing a drop of bright red blood to flow out and be absorbed by the sword.

In the next moment, the sword was covered with a layer of ice, and when Ouyang Yuqing waved her sword, it suddenly exploded. In the next moment, the sword was covered with a layer of ice, and it suddenly exploded when Ouyang Yuqing waved her sword.

Boom ~

The terrifying mana directly caused the surrounding soil to fly into the air. At the same time, large amounts of water vapor rose into the air, giving people a feeling of being unable to see their own fingers in front of them.

However, the steam disappeared very quickly, revealing Ouyang Yuqing's calm figure.

Seeing this, the corner of Shi Ling's mouth lifted slightly as he muttered: "He is indeed the third place in Mountain and River List. With such strength, he should have already surpassed the peak of the Blood Coagulation and reached the level of half a step in Bone Melting Stage, right?"

Ouyang Yuqing's eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at the youth in front of her. She waved the longsword in her hand, cutting a hole in the ground, and said coldly, "I never thought that your strength would rise so quickly and swiftly, I remember the last time I saw you, you were probably only a young cultivator in the Spirit Accumulation Realm. I never thought that you would grow into the level of a perfect Blood Coagulation in just a little more than a year."

Ouyang Yuqing's eyes were filled with killing intent as she said that. The experts behind her also walked over and waited for Ouyang Yuqing to give the order before simultaneously attacking Shi Ling.

Although the individual strength of so many experts was not high, if they were to join forces, Shi Ling would also feel a headache.

However, Shi Ling sneered and said: "What? Do you want to bully me with more people? "

Ouyang Yuqing snorted coldly, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being reckless and exposing yourself for the sake of your good brother!"

With that, Ouyang Yuqing whispered to the dozens of experts behind her, "Kill him!"

With that, the dozen experts rushed towards Shi Ling at the same time. Seeing this, Shi Ling smiled disdainfully and immediately stood there quietly. He didn't show any intention of running away, nor did he try to resist, as if he was resigned to his fate and waiting to be killed by them.

However, when the dozen or so experts were less than five meters away from Shi Ling, a stern voice sounded, "Let's see who dares!"

Before he finished his sentence, a shadow suddenly appeared behind Shi Ling and blocked in front of Shi Ling. The sword in his hand fiercely hacked down on the ground and an extremely strong power of lightning instantly swept out and directly caused the five experts who were running at the front to be struck by the lightning.

When Ouyang Yuqing saw this, her pupils constricted as she exclaimed, "What?!"

However, things weren't over yet. Behind her, a bizarre aura even appeared, and a soul-like voice sounded out, "I didn't think that I would actually be fortunate enough to meet Miss Ouyang Yuqing, one of the top ten Heaven Chosen, in this place today. How lucky!"

The moment the voice appeared behind Ouyang Yuqing, her heart trembled and she immediately jumped away from the original spot.

However, her four subordinates at her original position had been wrapped by a strange wind in an instant. It was as if an invisible rope had tied them up and was looking behind them.

With his hands behind his back, Qian Hee looked at Ouyang Yuqing, who had dodged in time, and said with a smile: "You ran pretty fast. Otherwise, I, Qian Hee, might have been able to get intimate with you today!"

As he said this, he lifted up one of his hands and clenched it tightly. Instantly, those four people who were tied up by the strange wind were sliced into pieces. The scene was really bloody.

When Ouyang Yuqing saw this, her eyes squinted. When she stopped, there were only three people left.

At that time, Shi Ling had his arms crossed in front of his chest. Then, he arrived in front of her, and behind Shi Ling were Qiu Rann, Ji Wutian, and Qian Hee.

At this moment, Shi Ling said with a faint smile, "4-4, this is fair!"

Ouyang Yuqing, however, looked coldly at Ji Wutian and the others. After a moment of anger, she suddenly thrust the longsword in her hand into the ground and said: "outer sect's number one expert, Bone Melting Stage at the Small Success Realm, Ji Wutian, and the Forging Hall's Young Master, hall master, Qian Hee. I never thought that a little Blood Coagulation Realm cultivator like you would be able to garner such powerful support.

Shi Ling smiled calmly and said, "There are a lot of things that you didn't think of."
