The raging fire flickered Ji Ruochen's face into bright and dark colors. The smile on his face never changed, as if he was born with such an expression.

The fire was very fierce, and the red flames were tinged with bright yellow. More than ten corpses were faintly visible in the fire, but in this strange flame, the corpses that were originally extremely difficult to burn were turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

When the corpse is completely refined, the open fire will extinguish itself. If there is any spirit, only a piece of charred black will remain on the ground.

Ji Ruochen took out a small amethyst box from his arms and opened it gently. As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the soft pearl light immediately made his handsome face softer. Apart from being priceless, this luminous pearl was not of much use.

Even if it were to be made into a magic weapon, it would still take ten years in addition to having a skilled craftsman in charge.

When the real person first gave him this treasure, Ji Ruochen didn't understand its purpose. In his opinion, instead of giving him this luminous pearl that could neither attack enemies nor protect himself, it would be better to give him a few charms. But.

Now he understands.

Ji Ruochen shook his head, put away the Night Pearl, picked up a big baggage beside him, put it on his back, turned around and headed towards Yizhou. There was a clanking sound in the baggage, and they were all magical artifacts that Ji Ruochen had found from everyone. It was just that

He had just walked a few feet when he suddenly became dizzy, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

He struggled to stand up, knowing that although the fierce battle just now was short, he was actually seriously injured. The old man's wooden staff was also a good magic weapon. The spiritual energy gained after the dissociation was also difficult for him to digest. At this moment, he had new wounds, but

It was just a sudden attack. He calmed down, silently circulated the three pure Qi, and slowly calmed down the chaotic spiritual energy in his meridians, then stood up and walked slowly outside the Black Wind Forest.

The journey to Yizhou City was only over a hundred miles, but Ji Ruochen walked for more than half a month.

When he passed through the city of Yizhou, not only were all his old wounds gone, but the big baggage on his back was also gone. Dozens of magic weapons, large and small, of all shapes and sizes were all turned into tonics for him.

There are many mountains and tombs on Jiannan Road. After leaving Yizhou City, Ji Ruochen did not follow the official road, but went directly north and plunged into the vast mountains again.

The mountains of Shu are beautiful, with many springs and waterfalls, and criss-crossing veins. Walking between the peaks is a unique experience. Ji Ruochen found his bearings and walked through the forest beside the stream while concentrating on regulating dozens of strands of various properties in his body.

Different, constantly conflicting auras.

Suddenly, Ji Ruochen's eyes lit up. It turned out that he had walked out of the dense forest and came to an open land. This place was backed by green mountains, facing an abyss in front, surrounded by clear streams, and full of flowers and trees. It was really a rare and quiet place.

It's just that in such a wonderful place, strange things happen every time.

Ji Ruochen just sighed at the gathering of earth energy here, and when the spiritual energy was overflowing, a green shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then a soft body suddenly crashed into his arms, knocking him to the sky. Ji Ruochen was shocked by this,

The spiritual energy in the meridians that had been gradually straightened suddenly became a mess again. Just when Ji Ruochen was dizzy and dizzy from the fall, the person in his arms let out another cry of pain, and put his hands between Ji Ruochen's chest and abdomen.

, stood up forcefully.

Listening to the cry of pain, it was really glutinous and soft, as soft as water, but the force of the bump and support was not small, and it was definitely beyond the ability of an ordinary woman. And every time he came into contact with her, the spiritual energy in Ji Ruochen's body would jump.

After a few blows, only the three pure Qi remained unmoved. Fortunately, Ji Ruochen did not spurt out blood on the spot, but his meridians were twisted and his face turned pale from pain.

Strangely enough, just after the woman left his body, the restless spiritual energy in Ji Ruochen's body immediately became much quieter. With a slight movement of strength in his waist and abdomen, he bounced up like lightning, and his left thumb was already clasped on the Xuanxin Ring.

But when he saw the woman's appearance clearly, Ji Ruochen was immediately shocked!

She was about 20 years old and was wearing a long blue dress. Other than that, she had no extra decorations. But she no longer needed any decorations.

At first glance, she was 67% similar to Gu Qing! But when Ji Ruochen took a closer look, he realized that the two were actually completely different. Gu Qing was like the white clouds in the sky, noble and lonely, with the aura of heaven and earth, without any trace of it.

The attitude of a daughter. However, she is exactly the other extreme. She is as soft as water, without any edge, and can only make people feel pity. This girl in green has interpreted the gentleness of women in the world to the extreme.

At this time, her hair was slightly messy, her face was pale, there was only a faint trace of blood on her lips, and her dark eyebrows had already been twisted together due to pain. Seeing her pain, Ji Ruochen's heart was as cold as steel.

, actually felt a slight pain.

His eyes immediately swept down her body, and he saw the source of her pain: an arrow was nailed to the outside of her left leg, and blood had soaked a large area of ​​her dress.

Ji Ruochen's eyesight was very sharp. At a glance, he could tell that the feather arrow had penetrated more than two inches into the flesh. The injury was not very minor. The arrowhead was four inches long, and the exposed tip of the arrow was covered with barbs and had several thin lines.

Blood trough, blood is flowing out drop by drop along the blood trough.

The pain in Ji Ruochen's heart disappeared in a flash, and with a slight movement of his right hand, the dagger Chiying quietly slipped out of his sleeve.

Although this woman seems to be of very low moral character, even worse than Ji Ruochen, the roads here are impassable and there are no people nearby. It is very strange that she happens to appear here. What is even more strange is that Ji Ruochen's spiritual sense is completely unable to detect her.

She was so close that even the naked eye could not identify her. It was not until the moment she bumped into his arms that Ji Ruochen saw her figure. It was as if she was completely invisible before.

The girl in green bowed to Ji Ruochen and endured the pain: "I was being chased. I panicked and bumped into the young master. Please forgive me."

Ji Ruochen never expected that she would say such a thing. But his mind was not relaxed but tightened, and he thought to himself: "It seems that this is a bitter trick, but it came so fast! It's just such a crude trick, but it still wants to deceive me.

?Do you really think that I am a village man from the mountains?"

He was thinking this in his mind, but a smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "That's it, then the girl can just run away, why do you need so many courtesy?"

Ji Ruochen meant to tease him, but he didn't expect that the girl in green stumbled and ran a few steps. After hearing his words, she turned around and said: "Uncle once said that life and death are small matters, but etiquette is big. Although the body is

In a desperate situation, etiquette must not be discarded. If you offend the young master today, you will be repaid in the future. I...I will escape first."

Ji Ruochen couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, watching her struggling to escape into the forest. Although he knew it was a trick, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart for some reason, and the smile on his face disappeared unconsciously.

As soon as the girl in green clothes entered the forest, Ji Ruochen's spiritual sense suddenly became sharper, and he immediately heard the roar of people on the other side, with more than a dozen people shouting and chasing after him.

"Haha, isn't it just a cruel trick?" Ji Ruochen thought to himself, smiling with his hands behind his hands, watching as more than ten men and women rushed in front of him.

Looking at their attire, these men and women belong to two monastic sects. Although their Taoist practices can be seen at a glance, the magic weapons they wear are very crude, making it difficult for Ji Ruochen to detect them.

These people did not expect Ji Ruochen to be here. At this moment, they saw that he was as powerful as jade. He was as steady as a mountain and his momentum was generated by himself. They did not dare to underestimate him at the moment, and they all stood in front of him.

A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance clasped his fists and said loudly: "We all come from the Six Immortals Hall and the Taiqing Sect, and we are hunting down a monster. I wonder if the young immortal has ever seen the whereabouts of that monster?"

Before Ji Ruochen could answer, there was a sudden sound of broken branches not far from the forest. A big man like a black tower on the side said happily: "She is there! Monster, I want to see you this time."

Where to escape!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised the four-foot black iron bow in his hand and shot out an arrow like lightning!

Although his movements were like lightning, Ji Ruochen could clearly see that the feathered arrow was blue in color, with a four-inch tip and full of barbs, which was exactly the same as the feathered arrow nailed to the leg of the girl in green.

"It's just a trick..." Ji Ruochen thought, but the smile on his face had long since disappeared.

A cry of pain suddenly sounded in the forest. Although the sound was not loud and the meaning was sad, it was like the mirror-flat lake under the moon suddenly being shattered by a huge boulder!

The big man's movements were like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the second arrow was already on the string, and he shouted again: "Today we will eliminate harm for the people!"

With the sound of the zither, the feather arrow has already left the string!

"It's just a bitter trick..." Ji Ruochen thought in a daze.

The arrow was just three inches away from the string. More than ten bright red lights flashed in front of the dark-skinned man's eyes. Then, the iron bow in his hand and the feather arrow suddenly exploded into dozens of pieces. The fragments flew around and scratched his face and chest.

More than ten deep blood grooves.

But he didn't dare to move!

"Bitter meat trick..." Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly.

He stood quietly, looking at the distant mountains, his left hand stretched out flatly, holding it empty. The red fairy sword floated three feet away from his left hand, hovering on the throat of the dark-skinned man. The bright red sword light jumped unsteadily, and appeared from time to time.

A thin incision was made on the big man's throat. Although the big man was brave, he did not dare to move even a little bit.

"What do you mean by this!? Could it be that you are in the same group with that evildoer?" The dozen or so men and women were startled, and a young man immediately shouted over and asked.

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man next to him whispered: "Don't be impulsive, he uses sword control!"

The young man looked at Fairy Sword Chiying, his face turned pale, but he was still unconvinced and said: "So what, he is only one person, can he defeat more than ten of us?"

Ji Ruochen said calmly: "Whether I can defeat him or not, I won't know until I kill this person."

"How dare you hurt my senior brother!" the young man shouted angrily.

"Wen Rong, shut up!" The middle-aged man who was the first to greet Ji Ruochen angrily scolded the young man. He carefully looked at the mark on the hilt of the Fairy Sword Chiying, saluted Ji Ruochen, and asked: "Young Master

Did the immortal come from the Taoist sect?"

"Exactly."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then asked: "I wonder why the young immortal wants to protect this monster?"

Ji Ruochen said calmly: "It's nothing, I want this person. As for why, you can just go to Mogan Peak and ask."

As soon as he said these words, a look of anger flashed across the middle-aged man's face. However, he remained silent for a moment, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Even if the Tao Te Sect's high disciples want someone, we can just give in. But the Tao Tao Sect is also the right way.

I hope you don’t go astray, young immortal."

After that, he waved his sleeves and led everyone away.

Ji Ruochen stood still until these people were far away, then he took back the fairy sword Chiying, and also took back the two Tiangang Liuyang Talismans that had been sandwiched between the index and middle fingers of his right hand behind his back.

He turned around and entered the forest, looking for the place where the sound had just come from. Not far away, he saw the girl in green lying on her side on the ground, her face was pale, and she had already fainted.

There was an arrow stuck deep in her lower back. The arrow on her leg had been broken into two pieces, probably because of the fall, and the arrow clusters that were exposed had already been buried in her skin.

"Oh, what a bitter trick..."
