C24 Five Years
"Eleventh style of the Ancient Chaotic Sword Arts, Heavenly Net. "
With a shout, a young man leapt into the sky. The longsword in his hand streaked across the sky like lightning. In an instant, a net of swords interweaved and rained down like a storm.
"Is it already the eleventh style?"
At this time, a young girl walked over. She was wearing white clothes, and her skin was as fair as snow. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and she used a similarly snow-white hairband to lightly wrap it around her. Her shoulders were as thin as a cut, and under her slender jade neck. . . Her slender waist was like a willow branch, and she held it tightly. She didn't put any makeup on her face. However, she was beautiful and moving, and her eyes that were like limpid autumn waters were clear. As she looked around, she had an elegant and refined temperament. It caused one to feel ashamed of their inferiority.
The girl was naturally Xiao Yue, but at this moment, she was slightly surprised, and her small face was full of surprise.
"Yes, it's very difficult. " The young man turned around and casually replied. In an instant, the sword had been sheathed.
Surprisingly, it was Guxing. Five years of time had made him taller by quite a bit. Because he practiced the sword, his handsome face was covered in sweat, and the corners of his mouth carried a wisp of an unrestrained smile.
He had just cultivated to the tenth style a while ago. Initially, he wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the eleventh style would be displayed by him.
"It's already very good. I thought that I would have to wait another year. " Xiao Yue said with a smile, her eyes full of praise.
Guxing shook his head. A sad look flashed across his face. Obviously, he was still not satisfied with the fact that he had spent five years to reach such a level. "This won't do. I'm still far from it. " After saying that, he looked in the direction of Tiger Valley and subconsciously clenched his fists.
In these five years, Guxing successfully advanced from the late stage of Qi Transformation to the middle stage of Blood Charging. At the same time, he also helped him undo the third seal on the sword. His progress could not be said to be slow. It was just that he had not heard any news about his parents. This made Guxing somewhat disappointed.
"Still can't remember anything?"
"Yes. " Xiao Yue knew what he was asking and immediately replied apologetically: "Although I remember a lot of things, I don't have any news about them. "
"I see, I know. " Ms Yue, don't blame yourself," Guxing said. Even if it is not for them, I will unseal you. "
"Yes. " Xiao Yue smiled in relief and said, "There are still six more seals. There is still a lot of hope. We don't need to sigh, do we?"
"Yeah, we still have time. But. . . There's one more thing that I really can't wait any longer. " Guxing gripped the sword in his hand tightly with a pained expression. "If I don't complete this task. . . I can't sleep or eat in peace. When I think about those Lonely Soul who died in vain, I can't rest in peace. The blood feud hasn't been settled yet. I feel like I'm being tortured. Every day, I put my life on the line to cultivate. I just want to get rid of this pain as soon as possible. But now, it seemed that I was only one step away from taking revenge. I really can't wait any longer. "
Guxing was crazily venting his anger. Seeing his current state, Xiao Yue sighed helplessly. She had been by his side all day, so how could she not know his pain?
In these five years, Guxing had used all of his means to kill countless ferocious tigers. Three years ago, he had almost killed all the ferocious tigers on the mountain, but one day. . .
When he entered the Tiger Valley, an even more terrifying tiger roar sounded out from the depths of the Tiger Valley, almost knocking him out. If it wasn't for Xiaoyue's timely appearance to wake him up at the critical moment, he would have died in the tiger's belly a long time ago. Xiao Yue still had lingering fear in her heart when she heard that tiger roar.
After that, Guxing seemed to have become a different person. He kept cultivating day and night, not daring to slack off, fearing that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise.
"How can I not understand your feelings? But are you confident in defeating that unknown existence?" Back then, Guxing was knocked out by just a roar. It could be said that he had no strength to fight back. Xiao Yue was really worried that he would take the risk in the future, so she immediately advised him.
"If I don't have confidence, I will go too. And if I don't try, how would I know if I can't win!"
Seeing that the appointed time was getting closer and closer, Guxing's heart was burning with anxiety. "There is no more time. I cannot wait like this anymore. "
"I understand your feelings, but you have to know that you are simply courting death if you go now. " Xiao Yue looked at him and sighed deeply. "That's enough. Guxing, you have done enough for them. Don't force yourself anymore. Let go of me first. "
"More?" Guxing said in a low voice, "But they sacrificed their lives for me. Ms Yue, do you want me to become a treacherous person because of this?"
Xiao Yue was speechless.
"Ms Yue, I know you are doing this for my own good, but no matter what, I have to go today. " Guxing's words were filled with determination.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue immediately knew that stopping him was useless.
"If that's the case, I will do as you say today. I don't believe that a weak tiger has really become a tiger. "
"There's no time to lose, let's go on our way immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he unfolded his footsteps and leaped out. He was experienced and experienced to the extreme, and he didn't hesitate in the slightest.
When Guxing saw this, he naturally did not dare to delay. He hurriedly used his movement technique to follow closely behind. In an instant, he only left behind an afterimage on the spot.
In these five years, his footwork cultivation didn't fall behind at all. At this time, it wasn't much weaker than Xiao Yue's.
"Idiot. "
"Hmm?" Guxing subconsciously looked at Xiao Yue and found that she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Ms Yue, what's wrong?" He immediately asked worriedly.
"I. . . " Xiao Yue seemed to be worried about something and swallowed her words several times. "Forget it, let's go. "
Guxing felt that Ms Yue was weird today. But the enemy was in front of them, so he did not have time to worry about this. He answered and continued on his way.
Xiao Yue gritted her teeth. Just now. . . She secretly thought, if the opponent is too strong. . . She didn't care if Guxing agreed or not, she had to take his body by force. At the very least, she would bring Guxing and escape. She had originally wanted to discuss this with Guxing, but when she thought about the stubborn temper of that fool, She had no choice but to give up.
"I hope the opponent is not ridiculously strong. " Xiao Yue sighed, her face full of helplessness. "This idiot's stubborn temper will never change. "
Along with the growth of his cultivation, Guxing's speed could no longer be mentioned in the same breath. Now, in less than half of the time, the two of them had arrived at the border of Tiger Valley. Instantly, a bloody smell hit their faces, making them nauseous.
This bloody Qi was caused by a large amount of blood splashing over a long period of time, causing the air to be affected. It seemed like it would not dissipate for a period of time.
Guxing suppressed the discomfort in his heart. He couldn't help but look towards the side of the pond. He saw that the sixteen stone tombs were still there. They were filled with sorrow. However, behind the stone tombs, there was a small hill made of heads. Looking from afar, there were more than thousands of them.
These were the fruits of Guxing's five years of killing. Every time he killed one, his head would be chopped off, and he would bring it to the stone tombs to pay his respects. Day after day, this Tiger Head Mountain would appear.
Xiao Yue looked at Guxing's bloodthirsty face, and she felt that the strange feeling that she had not felt for a long time had returned. Guxing had a very bad habit, that was when he was killing, he would always smile. That evil smile still made Xiao Yue shiver in fear.
Shaking her head slightly, Xiao Yue followed Guxing in. The place was desolate and dilapidated, and from time to time, a tiger corpse would appear on the ground. It made one's scalp tingle. The current Tiger Valley had become a dead valley. Even the ground had been dyed red, and the stench of blood was nauseating. Looking at the Tiger Valley that had once been filled with tigers and devils, it had now become so empty. Xiao Yue couldn't help but sigh.
"Strange, there were clearly a few last time. " Guxing carefully looked around, and when he didn't find the target, he was immediately disappointed.
Xiao Yue curled her lips. You have almost killed all of them, yet you are still not satisfied. Suddenly, you remembered some interesting things between Guxing and the evil tiger, and you immediately covered your mouth and laughed.
In the past, Guxing would come here every few days to find an opportunity to kill those isolated evil tigers. At first, those evil tigers were not afraid at all. They even took advantage of the terrain to push Guxing into a desperate situation a few times.
After Guxing killed dozens of tigers without giving in, the tigers started to pay more attention to him. Later on, after Guxing killed over a hundred tigers, the tigers finally had a sense of crisis. They started to attack together, but they still couldn't scare Guxing away. Finally, when Guxing killed over a thousand of them, the tigers made a helpless move. From then on, there were more than a dozen ferocious tigers.
Moving together, they were determined not to be left alone. This had given Guxing a headache for a long time.
However, nothing could stop Guxing's persistence. Finally, after Guxing killed nearly two thousand ferocious tigers unyieldingly, the ferocious tigers had completely collapsed. From then on, they had completely given up on resisting. When they saw Guxing running away with all his might and over a hundred ferocious tigers fighting to escape, both of them were dumbfounded, unable to let go of this feeling.
Usually, they were the king of all beasts, the top existence in the food chain pyramid, but now that they encountered Guxing, they could only run for their lives.
From then on, Guxing slaughtered tigers like dogs. Even rabbits would bite when they were anxious. However, when these remaining tigers saw Guxing, they turned around and ran, without the slightest demeanor of a beast king. If they couldn't run away, they would beg for mercy, and they would cry with snot and tears. They rubbed against Guxing's body, and even Xiao Yue was amazed. Later on, she didn't even need to beg for mercy. Seeing that she couldn't hide anymore, she closed her eyes and waited for death. It could be said that he was human to the extreme.
Upon seeing this, even Xiao Yue was moved. Unfortunately, they had encountered the true malefic Guxing. Thus, the large number of evil tigers were removed from the list. The remaining ones had hidden somewhere and disappeared.
"Hmph, I don't care anymore. Ms Yue, did you hear that voice last time? Where did it come from?" The moment that sound appeared last time, Guxing was shocked numb. He looked around and found nothing. He immediately lost the patience to continue searching.
"It seems to be over there. Are you sure you want to go there?" Xiao Yue pointed to the depths of Tiger Valley, as if she still had hope in persuading Guxing to go back.
"Since you are already here, there is no reason for you to go back. Let's go. "
Guxing's words broke all of Xiao Yue's fantasies. She helplessly sighed, "Forget it, I will lead the way. You must be careful. "
Guxing responded and followed, his face full of anxiety.
There was not much time left until the five-year agreement. Guxing did not want to be a person who broke the oath. If a person could easily break the oath that he had made, then what was the difference between him and a beast?
One had to say, in some aspects, he was a person with principles.
