Chapter 368: A Thought Turns Into a Demon
After entering the dark vortex, Xiao Lin felt his whole body tighten, and a dizzy feeling came from his head.
Suddenly, his consciousness seemed to stagnate, and his mind fell into darkness.
After an unknown period of time, Xiao Lin opened his eyes from the darkness, and saw a dazzling sunlight, which made him unable to help but close his eyes again.
After a while, he gently opened his eyes and adapted to the light in front of him.
The sky was dark blue, and within a thousand miles, it was clear and cloudless. The sun was emitting a scorching light above the nine heavens, shining on Xiao Lin.
"Where is this?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt came into his mind.
Suddenly, a strong bloody smell came from the air, and Xiao Lin showed a puzzled expression on his face. He propped himself up and sat up, and then saw a scene that stunned him.
He was actually in a house, and dozens of corpses were lying in the yard, these corpses were old and young, men and women.
Xiao Lin's face showed a look of shock. He kept backing away. Suddenly, his hand touched something soft, and his hair stood up immediately.
He suddenly jumped up from the ground, turned around, and saw that he was among a pile of corpses.
"What... is this place? I... Hey, who am I?" Xiao Lin tried to recall, as if he wanted to figure out who he was, why he was here, and what relationship these people had with him.
"My name is Xiao Hanlin. I was born in Yunlong City, Xiao's house? My father, Xiao Mingyuan, was a third-rank official and the commander-in-chief of Yunlongcheng. Xiao Mingyuan fought for the country all his life, and the territory he conquered was enough to be recorded in history."
"Unfortunately, a few days ago, Xiao Mingyuan was harmed by treacherous people, dismissed from office, and exiled to the frontier, but on the way, he suddenly encountered bandits and was killed in a fierce battle with the bandits."
A memory emerged in Xiao Hanlin's mind, and his face became paler as the memory emerged.
Father Xiao Mingyuan, as the commander-in-chief, had already reached the peak of the acquired realm ten years ago. With such skills, he would be a top master even in the secular world.
Now he died at the hands of several bandits, which was too crude to cover up.
Xiao Lin looked at the corpses around him and searched everywhere. Soon he exclaimed and ran to the body of a 40-year-old woman not far away and burst into tears.
This person was Xiao Hanlin's mother Gu Bing. While crying, he recalled everything in the past. When the news of his father's death came, his mother Gu Bing was heartbroken and wanted to commit suicide, but after looking at her youngest son and eldest daughter, she held back.
But that night, a group of black-clothed men came to the Xiao Mansion and killed anyone they saw. Except for Xiao Hanlin, who was knocked unconscious by his mother before his death, no one in the Xiao family was spared.
The memory in his mind gradually became clear. Xiao Hanlin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up stubbornly. He was only ten years old and would face the future alone.
Xiao Hanlin walked on the dark purple stone road with dried blood and walked towards the door without looking back. At this moment, the sky was just getting light. If he didn't leave now, after dawn, the tragedy of the Xiao family's extermination would surely spread throughout Yunlong City.
At that time, he would also be exposed to his enemies. Xiao Hanlin pursed his lips tightly to prevent himself from crying. He knew that he was the only one left in the entire Xiao family now, and he must live.
After leaving the Xiao Mansion, he did not look back and followed the first ray of sunshine from the rising sun, leaving Yunlong City and embarking on an unknown road in the rivers and lakes.
......
Ten years later, on the rugged mountain road to Yunlong City, a ragged boy was walking step by step, with a cold chill on his face, looking at a majestic city on the distant horizon, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
A long sword with a wooden sheath was hanging on his waist, and he held the hilt firmly in his hand. He walked forward step by step.
Three days later, Yunlong City was shaken.
The 136 members of the family of Zhu Tianyun, the Lord of Yunlong City, all died in the hands of a teenager, and no one was spared. This reminds people of the tragedy of Xiao Yuanshuai Mansion ten years ago today...
After the Lord's family was killed, the teenager still walked out of the city step by step. How could the 3,000 defenders in the city let him leave? A fight began.
But what surprised everyone was that the teenager actually killed all the way from the Lord's Mansion to the city gate with an iron sword. The blood flowed all the way, and the 3,000 Yunlong Guards trained by Zhu Tianyun, the Lord of Yunlong City, were all killed.
And every time the teenager drew his sword, it was just one move...
From then on, a teenager appeared in the territory of Xiguo, wandering between major cities. Every time he passed a city, he would slaughter the guards and troops in the city.
Three years later, all 28 cities in Xiguo were slaughtered by the young man. After that, every time the young man arrived at a city, the defenders in the city would automatically take off their armor and either leave the city or mingle with the civilians.
Xiguo was completely shocked.
In Yuluan City, the capital of Xiguo, the emperor of Xiguo was furious and sent 300,000 armored cavalry, led by Wei Tianqi, the first master of Xiguo, to destroy the young master who had conquered more than 30 cities in Xiguo with his own strength.
Wei Tianqi entered the palace at the age of three and devoted himself to practicing [Hunyuan Jingluan Divine Art] for 60 years. He had already reached the realm of innate great success. He served the emperor of Xiguo for decades and never left.
Now he was actually assigned to lead the army to encircle and suppress this person. One can imagine the anger of the emperor of Xiguo.
On the official road leading to Yuluan City, a dark-faced boy was walking step by step. His right hand tightly grasped the wooden handle of the long sword at his waist, with a hint of stubbornness on his face.
But his eyes were swirling with a vortex as black as ink. If someone saw his eyes, they would probably be lost in it and sink.
The boy's head, which had been slightly lowered, suddenly raised up and looked at the Xiguo army that had already lined up hundreds of feet away.
The boy stuck out his tongue, licked his dry lips, and then continued to walk forward.
Wei Tianqi lay on the recliner carried by eight people, and his face showed a solemn look. He practiced [Hunyuan Jingluan Divine Art] for a whole sixty years, and now his skills have reached the pinnacle.
After his [Hunyuan Jingluan Divine Art] was perfected, he went into the martial arts world and killed the famous leader of the Yi Nian Demon Cult, Wu Yu Grandma, within a hundred moves. Since then, the Yi Nian Demon Cult has collapsed.
And after he was hailed as the best master of Xiguo, he retired after his success and returned to the inner court of the deep palace, never to come out again.
Looking at the young man in the distance, his face was full of stubbornness, as if nothing could block his way in front of him. If the mountain blocked him, he would split the mountain apart. If the river blocked him, he would cut off the river.
Seeing this scene, Wei Tianqi's heart, which had not been disturbed for decades, actually showed a trace of annoyance.
Soon, the young man came in front of the dark army, he stopped, and looked at Wei Tianqi's recliner with a pair of eyes.
Wei Tianqi, who was covered by the green gauze, waved his hand gently, and the green gauze was automatically lifted. He looked at the young man, and the irritability in his heart became more and more annoyed.
"Young man, at such a young age, you have already reached the pinnacle of martial arts attainments. You can be called a genius that my Xi country has not seen for a hundred years. As long as you are willing to submit to my Xi country, you will be granted a title of nobility and prime minister in the future, and you will have no shortage of wealth and honor." A delicate voice came from Wei Tianqi's mouth.
The young man heard this, and there was no ripple on his stubborn face. He looked at Wei Tianqi and said lightly: "Wei Tianqi?"
The young man seemed unwilling to waste a bit of energy, and his words were brief and direct.
"Yes."
"Die." The young man spit out a cold word of death, and then his whole body suddenly became cold, and the hand holding the wooden handle of the long sword at his waist tightened.
"I want to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Wei Tianqi sighed slightly, and then a strong wind shot out of his body, and the green gauze on the entire recliner exploded directly.
Wei Tianqi cultivated the Hunyuan Jingluan Gangqi for a decade, and poured it all into his palms. When he slapped his palms, two light red halos appeared, and they hit the boy at a very fast speed.
A black gas suddenly appeared on the boy's stubborn face, covering his entire face in an instant. After the black gas appeared, it disappeared in just a breath, and a dark halo appeared on the boy's hand holding the wooden handle of the long sword.
"One thought of the devil sect?" Seeing the black gas on the boy's face, Wei Tianqi was shocked and exclaimed, but he did not give up the attack. Instead, he mobilized all the true energy in his dantian.
All poured into his palms, turned into indestructible Jingluan Gangqi, and hit the boy.
"Clang~" A dark and sharp sword light flashed suddenly.
The originally clear sky was suddenly dark, and the darkness passed, everything was normal, and countless armored guards did not see the fight between the two.
Wei Tianqi stood several feet in front of the young man, looking at him quietly.
The young man's hand was still tightly holding the wooden handle of the long sword on his waist, as if he had never moved.
Many armored guards looked at each other in surprise. They thought that the wonderful battle had ended before it even started. Who would win or lose in the end?
"You have become a demon in one thought... You have already become a demon... You have transcended mortals..." Wei Tianqi's delicate voice sounded, and then exploded, turning into a bloody rain.
"Eunuch Wei is dead? Eunuch Wei was defeated?"
"Stop me... die." The black vortex in the young man's eyes became more and more intense, and he walked forward step by step.
"Kill... avenge Eunuch Wei."
"He is only one person, no matter how powerful he is, he can't kill so many of us, everyone go."
"Charge."
Looking at the black armored guards rushing over, the young man's eyes suddenly turned black, without a trace of white.
