Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 650 Flowing Clouds
The weather was stormy and foggy.

If you look down from a high place, the entire Cangyuan City seems to have disappeared, and all traces of its existence have been completely wiped out from Qizhou BJ.

And as time went by, the fog became thicker.

Even the lightning that flashed across the sky could not penetrate the fog and illuminate the area below.

"Clouds come from dragons, winds come from tigers, and the flying snake emerges from the mist."

Wei Tao looked down at the innkeeper who had suddenly fallen asleep, and had no intention of waking him up. He just sat down at the table alone, picked up the bowl of porridge that had already turned cold, and started eating.

In a trance, the missing memories came back again.

Sitting here, he felt as if he had returned to the distant past.

He had just returned to the tavern from the ambush late at night. Under the surprised gaze of Qinghehui's President Shi, he finished two buckets of fresh meat chaos in one breath.

Wei Tao finished the last mouthful of soup and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although the world has changed, the Youth League has long since disappeared, but to his surprise, the taste of this bowl of fresh meat chaos has not changed, and it is still so delicious and salty.

The autumn wind was howling, and the heavy rain kept hitting the roof, making crackling sounds.

There were also wisps of mist that quietly seeped inward from the door frame and window cracks, and soon made the entire box hazy, like a strange dream scene.

Wei Tao turned his head slightly and heard footsteps coming from the wooden stairs upstairs.

Accompanied by a creaking sound, it was approaching the box little by little.

He still sat there motionless, not thinking of going out to check. Instead, he fell into deep memories again, enduring waves of severe pain and stringing together the fragments of memory that flashed quietly.

Still in this tavern.

Still sitting opposite President Shi late at night.

They were suddenly attacked by the Red Lantern Society.

It was in the private room in the corner upstairs and in the dark, narrow corridor that he experienced for the first time what it felt like to be surrounded and hunted.

There is also the woman who has a close connection with the Red Lantern Society. She brought him a strong sense of oppression from the beginning, to the life-and-death confrontation on the way south from Cangyuan City. Even until the end, he still didn't really figure out how many personalities she had split into and what kind of connection they had with each other.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Soon they arrived outside the private room on the first floor.

Then there was a slight squeak.

The wooden door that Wei Tao had closed not long ago was pushed open again.

Through the half-open door, one could clearly see two figures wearing tall hats and white robes, looking into the house expressionlessly.

Wei Tao looked at them, and when his eyes fell on each other, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

These two people, who had just appeared in his memory the moment before, now came up the wooden stairs and appeared directly in front of him.

The most important thing is that their figures and appearances are exactly the same as those of the two incense masters of the Red Lantern Society. No matter what means are used to observe or perceive them, not even the slightest difference can be found.

The door of the box room opened, and thick fog poured in along with the two Red Lantern Society incense masters.

The battle suddenly broke out at this moment.

And then it ended in an instant.
Wei Tao slowly lowered his raised arm, and a puzzled expression gradually emerged between his brows.

He originally thought he had fallen into an illusion.

Neither the sound of footsteps approaching from afar nor the Red Lantern Society leader pushing the door open, neither of them really exists.

However, analyzing the fight that just happened and looking at the broken body lying on the ground, even he could not tell whether what he saw was true or false, real or imaginary.

If it is not an illusion, it means that Jiwu Tengshe has the ability to create things from the void, and can bring long-lost characters back to the world based on his memories.

This change was so surprising that in the memories he had recovered, no one had ever been able to achieve this level.

But even if it was an illusion, it was far beyond Wei Tao's expectations.

After all, with the high level he had reached, even if there were still many memories that he had not recovered, it would not be so easy for him to be troubled by illusions, not to mention that he had not found any problems until now.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed and appeared at the door of the box.

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and struck out with a red line without thinking.

But just when the scarlet blood line was about to pierce the slender figure, he retracted it without any warning.

"Are you coming out too?"

Wei Tao exhaled lightly, his eyes full of emotion and sigh, "So, are you Bai Yiyi, Bai Youyou, or Bai Lingyu who will appear at the end?
Seeing you reminds me of your teacher, who was willing to sacrifice his life in pursuit of the truth, and Junior Sister Yun who continued along this path. I don’t know how she is doing now, and whether she has returned to the Lost Land that is undergoing drastic changes.”

Then, without waiting for her to respond, he continued, "Forget it. It's been a long time since then. I just mentioned it because I was a little curious. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I figure it out or not."

Swish! ! !
Before he finished speaking, the scarlet blood line suddenly surged.

It penetrated the mist and clouds that filled the box, and instantly submerged and enveloped the young woman in white clothes and skirt.

After a moment, everything returned to calm.

But then the sound of light footsteps was heard quietly.

Soon he crossed the corridor and arrived outside the box door.

Wei Tao put down the wine jug he had just picked up, and suddenly an emotion that could be called anticipation arose in his heart.

After the previous two experiences with people coming from outside the door, he had some vague speculation, that is, whatever he thought of in his heart would be reflected in the flowing clouds and mist outside the door.

So, after Bai Youyou, he deliberately conducted tests based on the memories he had just recovered, just to see if his inference was true.

More importantly, after killing the man with the Scarlet Red Line, he could actually clearly feel the infusion of blood essence, which was more suitable for himself than those mutated beasts or even the Northern Wilderness warriors.

As the sound of light footsteps got closer, a figure that looked somewhat similar to Bai Youyou came into view.

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Senior Gong, long time no see. How are you?"

Gong Yuan stopped and looked inside through the half-open door.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly responded with a faint smile, "Wei Daozi, I once asked you to kill all the disciples of Dingxuan Sect. Since you have already agreed to my request, why did you break your promise and not fulfill it?"

After the voice fell, Gong Yuan turned his head and looked to his side.

His eyes fell on the young woman who appeared silently, and the smile on his face became more and more intense. "Wei Daozi, my disciple is still alive and well, so even if you want to lie to me, I'm afraid you won't be able to fool me."

"Junior Sister Yun is still alive. How do you know that she is still alive and well?"

Wei Tao frowned, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, the scarlet blood line surged, filling the box in an instant.

But this was not the end, but the beginning of an even more violent attack.

In less than a breath, the entire tavern was covered in scarlet.

Except for the shopkeeper who was still sleeping soundly, everything was razed to the ground and turned into a devastated ruin.

Gong Yuan and Yunhong, who had just appeared, also disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few pieces of clothing fluttering in the wind, which quickly sank into the depths of the mist and disappeared.

"I was thinking of coexisting peacefully with you, but I didn't expect you to regard my tolerance as your own powerful strength and try to invade my consciousness again and again. I have to say that you deserve to die. You deserve to be beaten to death by me soon after you return to the world."

Wei Tao took a big step and came to the long stone road shrouded in fog.

The ground was shaking slightly, and there were increasingly dense rustling sounds, coming towards the tavern from all directions.

Under the cover of clear mist and flowing clouds, the entire Cangyuan City seemed to come alive.

However, there are two outliers that don't fit in with the entire city.

There was a growing sense of malice coming from the fog, as if it was trying to expel them from it.

Wei Tao stood still, like a silent reef, protecting the tavern owner behind him and enduring the malicious impact like a huge wave.

Since returning to the Lost Land, all other cultivation techniques have been cut off, leaving only the most basic Red Thread.

Wei Tao had no other choice but to follow this only remaining road and continue forward to search for the end of the red line.

From the Hundred Red Snake Lines to the Thousand Red Snake Lines, and then to the Ten Thousand Red Snake Lines, until the Brahma Grand Ceremony was broken and the Northern Wilderness Royal Family who carried the Brahma spirit was devoured and absorbed, this basic practice method has reached a high level of one hundred thousand lines.

But even so, facing the Teng Snake that was hidden deep in the clouds and mist, like a dragon that could not be seen from head to tail, he still felt a certain amount of pressure.

At this moment, the owner of the tavern woke up slowly.

With a confused and dazed expression on his face, he struggled to get up from the depths of the ruins, and looked into the distance following the sound. His eyes fell on the crowd that was winding around, and his face suddenly turned as pale as frost and snow.

These people are all residents of Cangyuan Outer City.

But now they have all become half snake bodies.

There were no legs below the waist, instead there were snake tails that seemed to blend into the mist.

That heart-pounding rustling sound is the sound of the snake's tail scales rubbing against the long stone road.

"How did they become like this!?"

The tavern owner was sweating profusely, trying hard not to faint.

He retracted his gaze and subconsciously looked down, his sight fell on his trembling legs, and he muttered to himself subconsciously, "Why didn't I grow a snake tail and still keep my legs?"

"Are you envious of their long, slender tails?"

Wei Tao said, "As long as you leave my protection range, you will be transformed into a half-human, half-snake monster like them, by the Teng Snake's true meaning that permeates the flowing clouds and mist."

The owner of the tavern shuddered and shook his head hastily, "That's not what I meant. It's just that seeing a familiar neighbor suddenly become like this, I find it hard to accept for a while."

As the two were talking, the crowd that had been transformed by the Teng Snake's true meaning had already approached.

Then he touched the scarlet blood line that quietly appeared.

It is like countless flying insects falling into a spider web, gradually losing all life force in their constant struggle, until they turn into ashes and float everywhere.

Time passed little by little.

More and more ashes piled up on the ground, completely covering the long stone road, as if a carpet woven of gray hair had been laid.

At the same time, there was a strong smell of decay and decay, lingering in Cangyuan City like a substance.

It blended into the increasingly thick fog, bringing with it a dark and deadly feeling that seemed to not belong to this world.

I don’t know how long it took, but the rustling sound completely disappeared.

The entire Cangyuan City was empty and silent, with no living person to be seen.

Only the ashes on the ground showed what had happened before.

Wei Tao brushed off the little bit of ashes on his body. There was no relief on his face. Instead, he looked even more serious and solemn than before.

Countless red blood lines were absorbed into the body, bringing with them countless breaths of life.

In addition, the extremely pure true meaning of the Teng Snake was also injected into the body along with the blood.

boom! ! !
It was like a muffled thunder rolling across the ground.

It was like a high-explosive bomb exploding.

Everything happened inside Wei Tao's body.

He narrowed his eyes suddenly, half-knelt on the ground and began to tremble violently.

The true meaning of the Teng Snake entered his body, and the impact it brought was beyond his imagination.

It is completely different from the perception and understanding I had when practicing Wuji Sanshou before. If the previous practice can be compared to watching a movie, then now it is like personally engaging in hand-to-hand combat. The gap between theory and practice is simply immeasurable.

This impact made Wei Tao feel like he was struck by lightning. From his body to his soul, it seemed as if everything came to a halt in an instant to follow and adapt to the shock and change of that moment.

Swish!
The Unreal Status Bar appears.

A gold coin disappeared.

A mysterious aura surged into the body, leading to deeper changes on this basis.

boom! ! !
With the collapsed tavern as the center, most of Cangyuan City was instantly covered in scarlet blood.

It was like a giant bomb had exploded, the shock wave spread in all directions, and in an instant, countless houses and courtyards were destroyed.

When the shock wave gradually dissipated, a figure half-kneeling on the ground slowly stood up.

Wei Tao raised his hand to wipe away the dried blood on his lips, and cold snake scales flashed across the surface of his arm.

"Empiricism is deadly. The Teng Snake artistic conception of Wuji Sanshou and the real Jiwu Teng Snake are completely different in level."

“I thought that I could easily deal with the evil spirits that returned to the world by controlling all laws and absorbing the true meanings of different holy spirits into my body. It was not until we had a head-on confrontation tonight that I realized the gap between ideals and reality.

However, you didn't seize the opportunity just now and took advantage of the moment when my true meaning entered my body and I was in chaos. I can only say that being overly cautious in hunting habits is not a good thing. Sometimes it will miss the best opportunity to fight."

shuh...

He sighed secretly, and caught a glimpse of a looming slender shadow in his eyes.

It shuttled through the depths of the thick fog, coming and going in a flash across the void.

It seems to be wandering between reality and illusion, and it is difficult to capture the traces left behind.

"You are transmitting information to me, and your consciousness seems to be confused as to why I am not like the others, corroded by the power you inadvertently emitted and turned into a half-human, half-snake monster."

"Interesting. Your consciousness fluctuations are not only chaotic, but also seem a bit childish to me. I have to doubt that you who have returned to the world may just be a baby snake that has just hatched from its shell."

Wei Tao took a deep breath of the mist and slowly closed his eyes.

Even though the clouds and fog became thicker and thicker, the Teng Snake kept flashing through it without even a second glance.

Whether for him or for Tengshe, the real battle has just begun.
