Devour

To the southeast of Sanxian Valley, not far from the valley entrance, there is a conspicuous hillside. Walking southward to the stream, you can enjoy the flowing springs and waterfalls. The surrounding areas are colorful and the fresh and beautiful atmosphere is overwhelming.

At night, the bright moon climbed up to the treetops, and Cheng Bai came to the waterfall excitedly. When he came here during the day, he noticed that the scenery here was unique and there was a different world inside.

He jumped straight over the stream and passed through the Feisha Waterfall that was splashing white and crystal water. Behind him was the quiet Water Curtain Cave. Ningxiang, who had been waiting there for a long time, turned around.

"You're late, and you said it so cryptically, I almost didn't think it was here." Ningxiang complained a little, but her voice was gentle.

"No, the time is just right."

Cheng Bai looked out of the waterfall. The water flow covered the entrance of the cave like a crystal curtain. He could vaguely see the bright moon rising above the green pines and cypresses in the distance. That was the area called the Green Forest. The angle and shadow of the waterfall made it difficult for outsiders to peek into the mysteries hidden in the cave.

He turned his head, stared into Ningxiang's eyes, and said softly: "On the day we parted, I thought of you day and night, and traveled thousands of miles across the continent to pursue you. You are the romance hidden in the starry sky, and the tenderness and sweetness in my heart."

Ningxiang blushed shyly and stammered, "You speak too sweetly. I think it's a little unreal."

Cheng Bai took a step closer, and seeing that she did not dodge, he became bolder, gently grasped her hands, and whispered softly: "You can feel my truth and the warm fire of love."

Ningxiang stared into his eyes, her eyes seductive, and whispered, "I have been abandoned and homeless since I was a child. Will you pity me, love me, and tolerate everything about me?"

Cheng Bai took another half step closer, approaching the beauty in front of him. He could smell her orchid-like fragrance and hear her nervous and restless heartbeat.

"I am a harbor that protects you from wind and rain, embracing your sails. Everything you have can find a place to stay here." Cheng Bai vowed.

Ningxiang's eyes were intoxicated, her blushing cheeks were bright and charming, and suddenly she found that her slender waist was hugged by strong and powerful arms. She struggled to get away, and hurriedly said, "No, not here."

Cheng Bai raised his lips and said, "I'll just kiss you once, okay? Just once."

"Well, then for a moment." Ningxiang agreed after a little hesitation.

The man has feelings, and the girl is interested. Cheng Bai hugs the girl in front of him and gradually approaches.

Ningxiang was very tall, not inferior to Cheng Bai at all. In order to please him, she squatted down slightly and let him kiss her forehead.

Cheng Bai's target gradually moved downwards, passing over the straight nose and plump lips... A man's mouth is a lie.

Ningxiang was breathing rapidly and wanted to speak but hesitated. The scenery inside the Water Curtain Cave was beautiful.

A man was running on the hillside outside the Water Curtain Cave. His steps were light and his movements were agile, and he was particularly clear under the bright moonlight.

The sound of the rushing water of the waterfall covered up the embarrassment. The lovers who were having a secret meeting stopped their deep exploration at the same time, held their breath, and looked out of the waterfall.

The person who came was Qi Jifen, and he stood in the spacious open space in front of the lush forest.

The taller man striding over from the other side was the leader of the Yellow Jade Flag.

Qi Jifen opened the Ghost King Fan in his hand, waved it gracefully, and said in high spirits: "Brother Tie is very brave to dare to accept a small challenge."

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner sneered and said, "Why not? There will always be a battle between you and me at the hunting competition. It would be better to decide to eliminate you tonight."

Qi Jifen laughed and said, "Brother Tie, after stealing the treasure house of Qi Sect, was still able to swagger around nearby. His courage and insight are unparalleled in the world."

Cheng Bai was shocked when he heard this. There was actually someone who went to steal from the Weapon Sect's treasure pavilion and lived there openly under the pretext of refining treasures. The giant hammer and crystal core were just a cover. The leader of the Yellow Jade Flag had far-reaching ambitions.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner stared at Qi Jifen and sneered, "The Yin Spirit Body is aided by the power of the underworld. This is something that only comes once in a thousand years. How can I miss it?"

Qi Jifen did not think of anything else. He just thought that the leader of the Yellow Jade Banner was arrogant and self-righteous, and said, "Brother Tie is very familiar with the Treasure Pavilion. How can an outsider be so successful? The high-ranking officials of the Weapon Sect must have your help."

The leader of the Huangyu Banner did not deny it: "So what?"

Cheng Bai thought of the case of Li Quan's sudden death that day, and thought to himself: "There are only a few masters who can defeat Li Quan. The Fang Sect Master in Tianji City was present that day. Could it be that he was secretly colluding with the Disaster Legion? Don't jump to conclusions. There is not enough evidence based on just a few words."

Qi Jifen was full of self-confidence and generously proposed conditions to the other party: "How can our battle not have some stakes? If I win, all the things I get from the treasure pavilion will belong to me, how about that?"

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner had a flashing look in his eyes and said with a fierce smile, "Do you know what I got?"

Qi Jifen said bluntly: "The first and second treasures in the world are both stored in the valley. Brother Tie didn't find the Tianhuang Sword, but he got the Overlord Spear. How could I not know that?"

At the same time, he showed a strange look: "Brother Tie also took the seven drops of blood of the Light Blade King to refine the Phantom Light Blade. What use is that to you?"

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner was quite surprised: "You saw everything, but you didn't ask the people from the Weapon Sect to follow. Should I say that you are very courageous?"

"This is enough. Brother Tie was defeated by the Dragon Spear King. I defeated him when my skills were inferior to Shen Ya. Besides, the times are different now." Qi Jifen believed that his skills had greatly improved, so he was sure to win the battle and his confidence was high.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner drew out the Overlord Spear from his treasure bag.

Qi Jifen showed a hint of sneer on his face. He didn't even have a weapon that he was good at. Could it be that you knew how to use a spear?

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Huangyu flag thrust his spear forward, as fast as thunder and with terrifying power, and his spear skills were extremely skilled.

Qi Jifen's pupils constricted, and he quickly waved the Ghost King Fan to shoot out three emerald green flowers, which brought up a cloud of green mist. He held up the Overlord Spear and retreated three steps violently.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner used his spear to block, grab, and pierce as he pleased, creating spear flowers that shattered the green flowers. He chased and killed them, and with every stab, he forced Qi Jifen to retreat again and again.

After the twelve green flowers were shattered, Qi Jifen retreated twelve steps in a row, completely putting away his underestimation, and launched the Eight Immortals Tour, transforming his body into eight afterimages. He quickly circumvented the attack range of the Overlord Spear and exchanged starting positions with his opponent.

"who are you?"

Qi Jifen, who had fought with him before, couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Tie Baohan. He was completely two different people from the one he knew before. The gap in strength was too huge. He didn't care when Shen Ya made the judgment in person during the day, but now he was deeply shocked.

"Of course I am Tie Baohan. Don't I need to know a few more martial arts?" The leader of the Huangyu Banner showed a ferocious smile.

"In addition to the Overlord Spear lineage, the other famous spearmanship on the mainland is the Taizu Lihua Spear Lu family. More than ten years ago, the Lu family village was massacred. It is said that only orphans and widows were left, and they disappeared without a trace."

Qi Jifen was born into a famous family and had extraordinary knowledge. When he mentioned a case, he frowned and said, "Although the Taizu Lihua Spear Technique you used was passed down to the Hunter Academy, few people practice it because only a few people know about it. Those who are well versed in this art are either descendants of the Lu family or enemies of the Lu family."

"You have a good vision. Those who can kill people have good martial arts. Enough of the idle talk. Leave behind the Yin Spirit Body." The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner looked at Qi Jifen greedily. The grade of the Yin Spirit Body was higher than the Shura Battle Body. If he could obtain it by seizing the opportunity to rebirth, he would surely make further progress.

Qi Jifen did not dare to delay. He waved the Ghost King Fan to roll up the green mist. Thirty-six green flowers fluttered in the wind. At the same time, he urged the domain to go all out. His spiritual consciousness condensed a green skeleton that drilled out from the ground. It was much larger than the one when he attacked the academy. It was more than eighteen meters long. He grabbed the huge sickle and felt oppressive.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner laughed loudly, and the domain mobilized powerful natural forces. The surrounding areas surged like a mudslide. The huge rocks mixed with mud rolled, making Qi Jifen feel unstable.

Not only that, a larger mud giant stood up with four arms stretched out from its upper body. It was much taller than the green skeleton, nearly 30 meters tall and thick, looking down at its opponent and dominating the world.

Cheng Bai hugged Ningxiang. They both cared about their privacy and dared not say a word. They watched the two people fighting fiercely outside the waterfall, using all their tricks and getting bloody.

The clay giant of the topaz flag master relied on his many hands to suppress the scythe with two arms, and used the other two arms to fight violently, beating the green skeleton so hard that it couldn't raise its head.

Qi Jifen relied on the secret technique of Bu Bu Sheng Hua and the unique skill of Eight Immortals to hold on for dozens of moves. The green flowers in the sky were constantly defeated by the gun energy. The eight afterimages jumped up and down, trying their best, but could not break into the gun shadow.

The Ghost King Fan is also a rare treasure. It is difficult to exert its power under the fierce attack of the Overlord Spear. The advantage of an inch longer is an inch stronger is fully utilized by the Master of the Yellow Jade Flag in open areas, who has the upper hand.

Qi Ji fought for a while, knowing that things were not going well, and gradually considered retreating. However, it was difficult to escape from the opponent's mudslide, and there was a strange suction force pulling him to the center, which somewhat affected the power of the Eight Immortals Tour.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner figured out the rules of the Eight Immortals' Tour and gradually became confident. He mocked, "The Medicine Sect's secret skills are so impressive, but they are just a residual image to deceive people's eyes. Watch me defeat you."

The mud and rock area suddenly changed, and the suction force of the ground covered all the afterimages. Qi Jifen suddenly could not move, and the Eight Immortals Tour was broken, leaving only his real body exposed to the powerful enemy.

Cheng Bailing, who was hiding in the waterfall, looked closely and saw that a black shadow invisible to the naked eye was entangled with Qi Jifen, and a causal relationship had been established between them, which was pulling him into the abyss, but Qi Jifen was unaware of it.

Everything in the universe is created and destroyed according to the law of cause and effect. Cause is the ability to produce, and effect is what is produced. If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. The cause produces the effect, and the cause and effect are clear.

This is the secret of the secret art of rebirth, which usurps cause and effect, changes destiny against the will of heaven, and disrupts the Eight Immortals' Tour. It played an indispensable role in this.

Cheng Bai pondered, secretly horrified: "His secret technique is hard to defend against. If you don't sense it, you will be tricked. Fortunately, my spiritual eyes can see it. How can I break it? I wonder if I can devour it."

Qi Jifen felt lost and gradually became weaker, but he didn't know why. He thought to himself, "With my current strength, I shouldn't be so weak and tired so quickly. Is there something wrong with his domain?"

During this period of time, Qi Jifen has made great progress and has already taken half a step into the Guangfa realm. In a hurry, the green skeleton raised the sickle and opened the door to the underworld, bringing in gloomy cold air to impact the entire area. If his realm is further improved, it may be possible to establish the underworld.

The power of the underworld was cold, dark, and bottomless. Even the owner of the topaz flag shuddered, and the mud giant was temporarily frozen by the negative energy.

Qi Jifen took the opportunity to control the green skeleton to chop at the mud giant. The skeleton's sickle was known as a spiritual slash, and a single hit could hurt the soul, so it was vicious and difficult to defend against.

"The Yin spirit body is indeed extraordinary, but it's a pity that it is struggling to survive." The leader of the Yellow Jade Flag sneered.

The mud giant suddenly grew bigger and stronger, as if it was getting braver and braver, trying to break free from the shackles of Yin Qi. The skeleton's sickle chopped down and sank deep into its body, sucking it firmly and unable to move, failing to touch its soul and body. Its heavy mud and stone body also served as a shield, providing amazing defense.

The skeleton's sickle couldn't be pulled out, so the mud giant took the opportunity to open his four arms, hugged the green skeleton, and the surging mud and rocks wrapped around the opponent, forcefully taking the green skeleton and the sickle into his body.

Qi Jifen's domain was held hostage by the opponent, and he suddenly lost all his strength, his true energy scattered, and the green flowers and blue mist raised by the Ghost King Fan in his hand all disappeared, making it difficult for him to resist the attack of the Overlord Spear.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner used a move called "Force Penetrating Mountains and Rivers", and the long spear came at him like a poisonous dragon, and Qi Jifen barely dodged the fatal stab. Then he used another move called "Pale Moon Blossoming", and the long spear came out at an unexpected angle, like a long knife slashing at an angle as fast as lightning. Qi Jifen could no longer dodge and was hit hard on the shoulder by the blunt blow of the spear.

The enormous force was like an overwhelming force. All that could be heard was the sound of bones breaking. Qi Ji was bleeding wildly and half of his body was almost disabled. He fell to the ground like a straw. The Ghost King's fan fell out of his hand and he was barely able to breathe.

Cheng Bai and Ning Xiang looked at each other behind the waterfall. The leader of the Yellow Jade Flag was obviously much stronger, and the outcome was already decided.

Qi Jifen's uninjured arm flipped in his sleeve. As long as he took out a talisman and crushed it, he would be able to inform everyone in the Weapon Sect of the unusual situation here.

Unfortunately, the leader of the Huangyu Banner stabbed out with the Overlord Spear first, directly cutting off Qi Jifen's hand, taking away the talisman, and extinguishing hope.

In Cheng Bai's spiritual eyes, the black shadow that was invisible to the naked eye kept peeling off the shell of Qi Jifen's body, like layers of clothes, and adding them to the master of the Huangyu Banner, causing his burly figure to change, from the image of a sturdy man with a broad back and strong waist to the image of the tall and gentle Qi Jifen.

"From now on, I am the Holy Son of the Medicine Sect." The leader of the Huangyu Flag laughed strangely, and his voice sounded more and more like Qi Jifen. He bent down to pick up the Ghost King Fan on the ground, and shook it gently in his hand, looking very unrestrained.

"In order to obtain the precious blood, I gave up the Shadow Crusher, which was a big loss. This fan is my compensation."

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner looked at the dying Qi Jifen, who was indeed a rare strong man. He was seriously injured but not yet dead, so he unscrupulously took away his treasure bag, which contained clothes and other personal items, making it easier to impersonate his identity. Then he waved the Ghost King Fan Blade, cut off his head, and ran towards the green forest in the south.

Cheng Bai and Ning Xiang saw the leader of the Huangyu Banner running away, so they hurriedly tidied their clothes, walked out of the waterfall, and checked Qi Jifen's headless body.

"His body was destroyed and no one expected that the Holy Son of Medicine Sect would die here. When they saw him, they just regarded him as a body abandoned in the wilderness and no one cared about it."

Cheng Bai turned over Qi Jifen's body and saw a corner of a book sticking out from his chest. He took it out and took a closer look, and found two sheepskin booklets, one was "The Secret Book of Medicine" and the other was "The Essence of the Eight Immortals' Journey".

I guess the book Qi Jifen was reading during the day was one of them, and he didn't put it in his treasure bag.

The snipe and the clam fight, and the fishermen gain.

Cheng Bai accidentally got two secret books and was secretly delighted. He put them in his pocket, took Ningxiang and left the green forest. It would be a pity to stay here, so he found another quiet place to talk about love in a different environment.
