Fantasy: Quietly draw your sword a hundred thousand times, and emerge as a swordsman

"City lord?" Xu Tian, ​​as the person involved, was calmer than others.

"Xu Tian, ​​listen to me...cough cough" Nangong Tianyi knew that he was already a useless person. His whole body was crushed by Taotie, and all his tendons and veins were broken. Four ribs were broken. The god-level elixir given can heal the trauma, but his strength may never be the same again, and he is not qualified to occupy the position of the city lord of Tianfeng City.

"City Lord!" Xiong Pi grasped Nangong Tianyi's arm with his thick black palm, trembling slightly, "What are you talking about? Is it someone who has no eyes to chew your tongue? Say it, I will Cut him down!"

Nangong Tianyi shook his head, wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Old Xiong, no one influences my thoughts, it's my own decision, listen to me."

Xu Tian looked at him without saying a word, as if thinking about something.

Nangong Tianyi took the warm water from Doctor Zhang Qizhong, drank a few sips of it, and then he had the strength to continue: "Look at me now, how can I be the city lord? Xu Tian is the most suitable candidate at present, everyone I have also seen how strong he is, and he has no disadvantage against ancient beasts alone, this is not comparable to any cultivator in Tianfeng City!"

Everyone nodded unconsciously, it is true, maybe without this beast tide, they would never know that this humble and steady young man, whose strength is so terrifying, is obviously similar to them, why is it so amazing in actual combat, even the ancients All the fierce beasts and gluttons will fight with one of them! .

Chapter 500

Seeing everyone's convinced expressions, Nangong Tian knew that the matter was half done. Just as he was about to continue, he heard Xu Tian's calm and indifferent voice. "City Lord, the subordinate's aspirations are not here, please ask the City Lord to choose another sage!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at him in shock. What kind of medicine was sold in the old and young gourds?One desperately wants to give up the position of city lord, but the other has already decided to refuse?Xiong Pi said anxiously: "What do you mean, boy, why don't you like our Tianfeng City?"

The corners of Xu Tian's mouth twitched slightly, when did he have such a meaning?

"Ahem, Brother Xiong, stay safe and don't be impatient. As you know, I came to Tianfeng City not long ago. I was appreciated by the city lord, got the position of commander, and got to know you good brothers. I have no regrets. I I can't stay still since I was a child, and I didn't want to live in one place for a long time, let alone being a city lord, the burden is too heavy, so I can only say that."

After hearing this, Nangongtian's eyes flashed with desolation, and he said unwillingly: "Xu Tian, ​​I don't care what you say today, how you treat Tianfeng City in the future, whether to go or stay, is your own choice, but this You must promise me the position of city lord, otherwise, I will never be able to kneel down!"

As if he had made up his mind, Nangong Tianyi knelt on the ground again, no matter how much the crowd persuaded him, he would not say a word.Xu Tian frowned. For the first time, he didn't know how to reject someone. The city lord was indeed kind to him, and he was also a good official who loved the people like a son. That's why he used the only god-level elixir to save people, but He also really didn't have the intention of being a city lord.

Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, one couldn't get up on his knees, and the other was at a loss, Xiong Pi yelled, then knelt down with a bang, and said to Xu Tian, ​​"Commander Xu, although I, Old Xiong, don't agree with the thoughts of the city lord, His words are not without reason, a country cannot be without a king for a day, a city cannot be without an owner for a day, the city owner can learn from the painstaking efforts of the world, you have the heart to see him die in depression!"

Seeing Xiong Pi knelt down, all the commanding generals knelt down one after another, and echoed, "Yes, Commander Xu, you should agree to the city lord, he is also thinking of the people of the city!" "Commander Xu, at least he has resisted this beast tide. Let's go again, Tianfeng City needs you!"

Facing the elders who were kneeling on the ground, Xu Tian had one head and two big ones, he couldn't help this one, and pulled the other one still, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said helplessly: "It's really killing me, I promise it. City Lord, Brother Xiong, get up quickly!"

Seeing that Xu Tian finally let go, all of them had smiles on their faces, Xiong Pi supported Nangong Tianyi to get up as well, and returned to the seat next to him to sit down.

"You guys really... aren't you threatening me!" Xu Tian complained helplessly, acting like this just because of his age, this is to make him agree even if he doesn't agree!

Xiong Pi laughed a few times, scratched his head and said: "This is also a helpless way, you can't just watch the city lord kneel down and get hurt, right?"

Nangong Tian nodded with a smile, and said with relief, "Since you have agreed, Xu Tian, ​​let's hold the abdication ceremony tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Xu Tian hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said, "This is too urgent, City Master, should we wait for the beast tide to pass before discussing?"

While talking, suddenly a small soldier came in from outside the door and shouted: "Report, City Lord, the Qingxu sect sent people!"

Nangong Tian's expression changed slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Xu Tian, ​​"Oh? Please come in!" As soon as he finished speaking, three white-clothed disciples came in.The leader is an elder, and the other two male disciples are still very young, in their early twenties, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a whole body of righteousness.

This elder, Xu Tian, ​​has met before. He is from Yuan Fen's side. He is honest and upright, and doesn't care much about right and wrong. He didn't expect Yuan Fen to promote him after he came to power.

Li Changqing bowed to Nangongtian and his party, and said with a smile: "City Master Nangong, I am Li Changqing from the Qingxu Sect. I was entrusted by my suzerain Yuan Fen to come to condolences. The things and food have been handed over to the Consulate Office of Guicheng. This is Please have a look at the corresponding bill!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of yellow paper from his wide sleeve, and an old official handed it to Nangong Tianyi. The latter glanced at it briefly, then raised his hand with a smile and said, "Elder, please get up, sit down quickly, and trouble the three of you to make a quick trip." , The last time the materials were not used up, the noble sect sent them again, how embarrassing."

Li Changqing smiled honestly, and suddenly heard Xu Tian ask: "Elder Changqing, has the Qingxu Sect been invaded by beast hordes?"

Li Changqing blinked, pondered for a while, and then replied: "There have been no ferocious beast attacks in the past few days, why, here..."

Xu Tian sneered, took a deep breath, and replied, "Well, Tianfeng City was attacked by a large-scale beast horde last night, and there were even gluttons."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?

"What, Taotie!" Li Changqing screamed, and couldn't help taking a step back, fortunately, he was supported by two disciples, so he didn't make a fool of himself. "This... how could it be like this? It is impossible for the beast tide to only attack Tianfeng City and bypass the Qingxu Sect. Both parties are obviously in the same dimension."

The dimension mentioned here is a way of saying the position of the mark in the wild world. It means that Qingxuzong and Tianfeng City are about the same distance from the primeval forest, but one is in the south and the other is in the north. Since the low-level fierce beasts have no spirit It's wise to say that it won't just attack Tianfeng City in one go.

"Could it be that there are too many fierce beasts at the lord level this year?" Li Changqing explained with a face of cold sweat.

..... 0...

Xu Tian retorted without hesitation: "Although a lord-level beast can control low-level beasts by blood, it can affect at most a hundred of them. In previous years, there were only one or two lord-level beasts. How can they drive tens of thousands of beasts?" Fierce beast?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, as if a terrible black hand was playing tricks and spreading mist, making it difficult for people to see the truth.

"It's related to the overall situation, City Lord, I need to report this matter to the suzerain, so I won't stay any longer." Li Changqing became more and more afraid as he thought about it, and hurriedly said goodbye.

Nangongtian nodded. To be honest, Qing Xuzong came to deliver supplies twice in a row, which was really beyond his expectation. This also proved that Yuan Fen sincerely wanted to resolve the hatred between the two forces, which was really gratifying.

"Go, Elder Changqing, I'm not in good health, let Commander Xu send you off!" After finishing speaking, he gave Angel Xu a wink, the latter understood, and immediately got up and walked towards the door. Li Changqing raised his sleeve and wiped it off. Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he followed closely.

The four of them did not return by the same route, but left the city through the south gate.The houses near the city wall are still under construction, and the dead beasts on the side of the road have been cleaned up, but thousands of dead beasts outside the southern city wall are still there, and the soldiers are taking turns to clean them up.

"Here, Commander Xu, this beast swarm is so ferocious. Are the corpses of these beasts left behind last night?" Li Changqing became more and more frightened as he watched, until the last words trembled.

The faces of the two disciples were pale, and they were really shocked by this bloody scene.Sichuan.

Chapter 501

Xu Tian's face was still cold, as if nothing could disturb the man's mood. "It's the beast that was killed by the beast tide last night."

Li Changqing swallowed his saliva, his gray beard shook a few times, as if after a catastrophe, he sighed: "It's really scary, this low-level beast is easy to deal with, and it's terrifying if it's above the middle level. Let alone a lord-level ferocious beast." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the wasteland outside the city, and the fear in his heart became more and more obvious.

"Commander Xu, let's send it here. My disciples and I have to return to Qingxu Sect as soon as possible. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is only a hundred miles, and Yujian only takes half an hour to fly. If it gets dark, it will be scary."

After saying that, he bid farewell to Xu Tian, ​​who was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Don't worry too much, the recent beast tide can be resolved." Although Li Changqing was puzzled, he kept asking more questions, and left with his disciple Yu Jian .

After seeing off the guests, Xu Tian quickly walked into the city gate and ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to lock it up and not let any suspicious people in.

Night fell quickly, and everyone's heartstrings were tense, lest the gluttonous and beast hordes would appear again, Xiong Pi specially kept Xu Tian awake, because Xu Tian is currently the strongest, it seems that as long as he is around, everyone doesn't have to worry too much about it. General despair.

But one night passed, except for a few faint howls that could be heard in Tianfeng City, there were no traces of any ferocious beasts, and everyone's hearts were temporarily relieved.

The common people came out of the cave one after another to welcome the new day they gained.

After breakfast, Xu Tian stood quietly on the city wall, raised his hand to cover the not-so-strong morning light, and looked into the distance.

Under the scorching sun, the undulating mountains outside the city turned golden yellow, and the city was surrounded by Gobi Desert and yellow sand.It formed a sharp contrast with the virgin forest.

"It can't go on like this." Xu Tian whispered, determination flashed in his eyes.After getting off the city wall, he sent a voice transmission to Lin Xi and Pi Xiu thousands of miles away, saying that he was going out for a while and would return before sunset, so that the city lord and others don't have to worry.

After receiving the sound transmission, Pi Xiu and Lin Xi went to report to Nangong Tianyi, who didn't say anything when he heard about it, but Xiong Pi, who came to eat next to him, raised his thick eyebrows and yelled, "Why did Commander Xu go out by himself? It's too dangerous without a few soldiers to follow!"

Nangongtian raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed a few times, and said in a low voice: "I think Commander Xu has his own plans, so you can just eat your own food!" It made Xiong Pi stare at him.

A primeval forest five hundred miles away from Tianfeng City.

Huge trees cover the sky and the sun, and green moss climbs wantonly on the tree trunks. The hot and humid air wraps the whole person like a huge steam oven.

Xu Tian raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked around sharply.If I guessed correctly, the damn black-robed man is now in the forest.

Suddenly, a strange smell caught his attention. He remembered the smell, Xu Tian's expression changed slightly, he turned around and flashed behind a thick tree.And the next moment, a black figure appeared where Xu Tian was standing, it was the man in black!

Xu Tian behind the tree trunk held his breath and concentrated, fearing that the other party would find out, it wasn't because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat the man in black, but he hadn't found the reason why the Taotie and the beasts went mad.

Fortunately, the black-robed man was not strong enough to detect his aura, but looked around suspiciously, then turned and left.

Xu Tian waited for the other party to leave for a long time before stepping up to catch up. He remembered the smell of the man in black, and within a radius of a hundred miles, he could not worry about finding him.

The man in black walked twenty li to the northwest and stopped on a cliff. He skillfully took out a black bottle from his cuff and poured the full potion into a waterfall on the cliff.

Xu Tian's eyes paused, but he didn't show up right away. He still needs to wait for a result that proves his conjecture!

The man in black disappeared after a series of events last night. Xu Tian walked down the mountain along the waterfall. Although this high mountain is not the center of the entire forest, this waterfall is the source of most of the forest water.

As he walked, Xu Tian sensed the aura of a ferocious beast, so he jumped onto a tall tree behind him and observed quietly.

What came was a sika deer with golden pupils. There seemed to be fluorescent lights on a pair of huge antlers. The eyes were large, the pupils were golden yellow, and the fur around its body was light milky white. This giant beast was pure in nature and lived on grass. , the size is considered small and medium among all the primitive beasts, unless it tramples on its territory, the golden-eyed sika deer will not actively attack people...  …

After Xu Tian looked at it, he saw the sika deer walking gracefully to the waterfall, its pink tongue rolled into a small spoon, and it began to drink water freely.Not long after, the deer raised its head, turned around and walked to the grass, and ate a few mouthfuls of fresh grass sprouts, and everything seemed to be fine.

Xu Tian frowned, and the palms of his hands gradually became hot and sweaty. What's going on? Does it take time for the potion to work?

As soon as this idea came to fruition, the sika deer under the tree roared violently and pulled its body out. Xu Tian was startled, and immediately jumped off the branch to look carefully.

The sika deer had red eyes and rushed towards Xu Tian as soon as it saw Xu Tian, ​​as if it had lost its nature as a herbivore.There was no trace of fear on Xu Tian's face, but a little relaxed.

"Hehe, I finally found it!" murmured secretly, Xu Tian casually threw a ball of spiritual power, and beat the low-level golden-eyed sika deer until he couldn't stand up, but even so, the deer still grinned at him , completely lost autonomy, one can imagine how poisonous the potion is.

Yep, he finally connected the whole thing.All of this is caused by this black-robed man. The gluttonous man lost his mind when he went mad, and the beasts were crazy like never before. They only attacked Tianfeng City and dismissed other sect cities. All the coincidences were caused by this damned black-robed man. Single-handedly planned!

Anger condensed in Xu Tian's pupils, surging spiritual energy overflowed from the palm of his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding trees for several miles were broken by lazy waist.

After an unknown amount of time, the man breathed a sigh of relief, restrained his expression, stepped on the Nine Tribulations Sword, and flew towards Tianfeng City.

The cold wind cut on the skin like a sword, Xu Tian's eyes were as cold as an ancient well, and he recalled the passage of the beast tide in his mind.The last time the animal horde Taotie escaped at sunrise, he guessed that the Taotie during the day might be awake, otherwise there would be no situation where he escaped at dawn.

The potion also has a certain time limit, the man in black probably poisoned it more than once in the waterfall.

After thinking like this, he has already reached the territory of Tianfeng City.Xu Tian didn't go to the City Lord's Mansion, but went straight to the Tenth Armored Guard's garrison. Pi Xiuxiu clung to Lin Xi and begged for food. .

Chapter 502

"I'm not a cook, why are you telling me, don't get so close to me, you're a dog!" Lin Xidi shouted countless times, her little face turned red with anger, and stared at Pi Xiu angrily.

"Oh, I don't think it's delicious to eat alone. Besides, you've been busy all afternoon, aren't you hungry?"

I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, how many times have I said that! "Lin Xi said with her hips on her hips, and she caught a glimpse of Xu Tian walking this way from the corner of her eye, she hurriedly suppressed her anger, coughed and said, "Commander Xu, are you back?" "

Seeing Lin Xi's face changing so quickly, Pi Xiu pouted his lips and muttered, "Hmph, when I saw him, it was like a fly seeing shit, his eyes lit up, and he was treated so differently!"

Xu Tian's ear is extraordinary, the corners of his mouth twitched twice when he heard this, what's the matter with this kid, he doesn't really like Lin Xi, does he?Thinking of this, Xu Tian looked at the two meaningfully.

Pi Xiu was still complaining, did he raise his eyelids and stare at him, and then followed Lin Xi closely, but the latter didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, just looked at himself, Xu Tian coughed, feeling Alexander.

"Ahem, Pixiu, what are you muttering about!"

After hearing Xu Tian's words, Lin Xi looked at Pi Xiu, frowned and said, "Pi Xiu, if you don't obey me at 26, I'll really beat you!"

The latter finally got angry when he heard it, and shouted: "Lin Xi, do you look down on me, Pi Xiu? Why are you so angry with me all day long? I get angry, and the consequences are serious!"

Lin Xi stared, and wanted to refute him, but was interrupted by Xu Tian raising his hand: "Okay, I'm not a child anymore and still so naive, Pixiu, I have something to ask you, come with me!"

After hearing this, Pi Xiu had no choice but to put his flag down, and before leaving, he made a face at Lin Xi, meaning to settle accounts with her later.

When the two came to the city wall, Xu Tian stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back.Pi Xiu is not someone who can hide his words, so when he saw Xu Tian talking at the headquarters, he frowned and asked, "Boss, what do you want from me?"

The moonlight shrouded the entire land like a veil, a little more gentle than the daytime world.

Xu Tian paused, and said in a low voice, "I've found clues about Taotie."

Pixiu suddenly asked in surprise: "Who did it, you caught him, Boss?"

Xu Tian shook his head and raised his hand to signal him to be quiet. "Don't get excited, there is already a clue, but there is one thing that needs to be confirmed."

Pi Xiu really wanted to know, and asked excitedly, "What's the matter?"

"I remember you told me that all of your ancient beasts are psychic, so can you find it with the breath of the other party?" This naturally refers to Taotie. After Xu Tian's observation and guessing, Taotie's work and rest time and Unlike other ferocious beasts, they seldom come out to move during the day, and only go out to hunt at night, so where does it inhabit during the day?

Xu Tian also surveyed the forest after the black-robed man left, but he didn't see any trace of Taotie. He guessed that Taotie's cave was probably below the surface.

Pixiu's beautiful eyelids popped slightly, and he frowned and said, "It should be possible, Boss, have you ever been contaminated with gluttonous-smelling things, I'll give it a try!"

Xu Tian frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said: "Yes, come with me!" After saying that, he took Pi Xiu straight to the City Lord's Mansion. Although it was evening, because the beast horde had not passed, every house was still brightly lit, lest he Mishap again.

The city lord Nangong Tianyi was still processing official documents, so Xu Tian brought Pi Xiu into the study, saluted him, and said, "City lord, my subordinates are here to ask you for something."

Nangong Tianyi was about to call Xu Tian to discuss something, but he came first, he couldn't help but happily said: "Oh? You came to me for something, tell me!"

Pi Xiu also looked at Xu Tian strangely, eager to know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.Xu Tian nodded, "The one who had the most contact with Taotie last time was you, the city lord. Now the subordinates have already got some clues. They need the clothes you were wearing at that time, so please agree with the city lord!"

Xu Tian also hesitated, because Nangong Tianyi was deeply hurt by Taotie, and he might have a psychological shadow. Asking for clothes at this time may cause the other party's displeasure.

Just as Xu Tian expected, Nangong Tianyi frowned fiercely. He now has nightmares every night. He has already found the fundamental solution to the beast horde, and he will not give up the safety of the entire Tianfeng City people just because of his own pain and cowardice.

After struggling, Nangong Tianyi stretched his brows and eyes, forced a smile and said, "Fortunately, the clothes are still in the warehouse. I'll take you to look for them, maybe you can find them."

Xu Tian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement.The two followed Nangong Tianyi to the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion. They said it was a warehouse, but it was just a woodshed where waste was piled up.

Nangong Tianyi took out the dark red robe from the frame in the corner, which was still covered with blood and scratches from fierce beasts. Pi Xiu's eyes lit up, he took it from the other party's hand, and sniffed it lightly , nodded to Xu Tian and said: "This is the taste, I will go to Taotie tomorrow!"

Nangongtian was shocked when he heard this, "Xu Tian, ​​are you looking for Taotie?" It was too late for Taotie and the others to escape, why did they take the initiative to seek death?

Xu Tian seemed to know Nangong Tianyi's worries and doubts, and replied: "Don't worry, the city lord, that glutton will not tyrannize and kill during the day, but only hunts at night. Moreover, the ancient gods and beasts have opened their minds, and the glutton may be able to fight with them during the day." human communication."

Nangong Tianyi kept changing his expression, finally nodded and said: "Okay, since this is the case, you must be careful, if there is any mistake, you must send me a voice transmission, so that I can bring someone to help!"

Xu Tian felt a little moved, nodded and said: "Thank you, City Lord, since this is the case, this subordinate will take this dress away, and set off to the forest to look for Taotie tomorrow morning!"
