Hard to be a master

After a while, they moved to a river beach. The river was neither big nor deep, but the water was clear.There are many stones scattered along the river. The stones have traces of being impacted by the river for a long time. They are very smooth and flat. The big ones can accommodate four or five people sitting on them at the same time. It is indeed a good place to rest.

After arriving at the river, Shen Ziliu did not go to wash immediately like the others, but sat down on a stone a little far away from the crowd and began to adjust his breath and meditate. After he finished his breath adjustment, there were already five more people around him.

Qing Yin handed Shen Ziliu a bamboo tube half filled with water, and worried: "Is Mr. Shen okay?"

"I am fine."

Shen Ziliu took a sip from the bamboo tube, and immediately found that the bamboo tube was not filled with ordinary water, but Kunlun's annual limited output, which was only provided internally, and which needed to be exchanged for spirit stones to relieve fatigue and nourish spirits.It was time for Shen Ziliu to replenish his spiritual energy, so he didn't show any politeness to him, and directly raised his head to drink it up, and returned the bamboo tube to Qing Yinshi to thank him.

Zhan Ning looked at Shen Ziliu with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said, "Did Brother Shen use the Falling Flame Technique just now? I have never seen a monk before forming an alchemy can use the Falling Flame Technique to achieve such an effect, Shen Brother's spiritual power is really amazing!"

Liu Yixuan also said: "Indeed, I will never be able to do the same technique to that extent, and Mr. Shen's sword does not seem to be a high-grade spiritual sword that can be taken lightly."

Shen Ziliu just pursed his lips and listened, but didn't answer.

Zi Lan's eyes were filled with disapproval, and she said seriously, "Brother Shen, you were too messy just now, you should know better than anyone else that using Tunxiang's words in the situation just now—"

Shen Ziliu raised his head and gave Zi Lan a look, cutting off what he was about to say.

Wu Siren, who didn't know when he woke up, was still a little pale, looking like he might collapse at any time, and said weakly: "Although, although I don't know what happened just now, it's better for Mr. Shen not to mess around... You are gifted with extraordinary and profound spiritual power, and overdrawing your own spiritual power will definitely cause harm and no benefit."

Shen Ziliu glanced at him and said, "Instead of teaching me, it's better to worry about yourself."

Wu Siren was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

Zi Lan said: "That's right, Senior Brother Wu's participation in these two trials is not high, and the evaluation he got must not be too good."

Zi Lan's words were actually very polite. Rather than saying that his participation was not high, it would be better to say that he had no effect at all.Leaving aside the trial of extracting the ice soul in Zhongnan Mountain, everyone else contributed more or less to this time to get rid of evil spirits in the imperial mausoleum, only Wu Siren was startled by various agencies along the way, Totally disservice.Later, when fighting the millipede, he simply passed out, and when he woke up, everything was over.

After hearing what Zi Lan said, Wu Siren lowered his head as if he was about to cry or not, and said in a low voice: "Actually... Actually, the evaluation is not very important to me. I didn't want to come here... I just want to come now." Hurry up and end the trial and go back to Kunlun..."

The others were a little speechless when they heard the words. How many people wanted to participate in this trial but were not qualified, and now some people said they didn't want to come.Only Shen Ziliu seemed to think of something after listening, and quickly curled his lips, but no one noticed.

When it was almost time to rest, everyone discussed for a while, and selected six monks who were still in good spiritual power and went back to check the situation, to see if there were any other monsters that should not appear in the imperial tomb.Those six people went back and forth quickly, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the imperial tomb, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Ze gave them five days for this task, but they completed the task on the second day, which was really smooth and unexpected.Of course, many people could see that Shen Ziliu contributed a lot to the smooth completion of this task, so many monks who already had good feelings for him or sympathized with him came forward and wanted to make friends with him. Unexpectedly, Shen Ziliu today is not at all as talkative as he was in the garden that day, and those who came to talk to him basically hit a wall.However, everyone thought that he had exhausted too much energy during the battle just now, so they didn't take it seriously, and walked away consciously after a few words of concern.

Now that the task has been completed, the three teams no longer need to act collectively. It just so happened that it was still early today, so many monks who left Kunlun for the first time planned to go shopping after returning to Chang'an City.Just as everyone summoned the Yufeng Spiritual Artifact to prepare for the return journey, suddenly everyone felt the air vibrate violently.

Before the others could react, Shen Ziliu, Zi Lan and Qing Yin had already touched their respective spirit swords vigilantly.At the same time, almost in the blink of an eye, a thick layer of cloudy clouds gathered in the sunny sky just now, and the whole sky darkened, making people feel a little breathless.

The gray-blue dark clouds piled up thicker and lower, and eventually people even had the illusion that the clouds were really about to press down on the top of their heads.Accompanied by the sound of rumbling thunder, the dark clouds above the head suddenly began to roll and surge rapidly, and a monster wind suddenly blew up on the river beach.

The vibrations in the air became more and more rapid.

Zi Lan's eyes darkened, and she quickly pulled out the Lingyu and shouted, "Support the barrier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a glaring lightning bolt suddenly struck from the dark clouds. Above the river beach where the lightning fell, the air seemed to be forcibly torn apart by something, and a blood-red hole appeared out of thin air.At the same time, a deafening beast roar came from the gap, and the sound wave with the power of intimidating the soul instantly spread to the entire river beach. Although Zi Lan had already reminded everyone at the first time, there were still some people who hadn't had time to get out. The enchantment or the strength of the enchantment is not enough, and he was stunned and fainted without even knowing what happened.

Then, a giant beast with a height of three feet jumped out of the blood-red gap and landed heavily on the river beach, causing the whole earth to shake.

The giant beast was blue in body, with a lion's head and a leopard's body, but its face was much more ferocious than the average lion's. Its fangs were interlaced and blue veins were intertwined, and its eyes were red as if they were about to bleed.Its mouth almost cracked its neck, and its roar made people's eardrums hurt. Anyone who heard its roar felt as if thousands of needles were constantly being raised and pierced in their brains.

A large piece of flesh was missing from the giant beast's back, as if it had been sliced ​​off by some sharp weapon. The wound was very fresh, and black-red blood was still gurgling, exuding an unpleasant smell.As soon as it landed on the ground, it noticed a group of monks on the river beach. It stamped its front paw on the river beach, and then let out a long roar at them. Even the monks who had not been stunned were also shocked by the roar They were dizzy and deaf for a while, and many people's ears and noses were bleeding.

It is definitely not an ordinary monster that can affect the sky. After seeing the whole picture of this giant beast, Zi Lan's heart suddenly became cold.He knew this thing, it was a Nether jerk that should have been trapped under the Nine Nethers.When You Mingji escaped from the underworld to commit crimes in the human world, he and Qi Yue happened to be among the monks who went to subdue him.At that time, the eight of them were all Nascent Soul stage monks, and it took a while to subdue this beast. Now, although his memory has recovered, his body is a brand new body, which is only at the alchemy stage. , not even Dan has yet been formed.The other people present were similar in cultivation level to him, even if there were a hundred more monks like him, it would be impossible to defeat this Nether Ji.

Zi Lan didn't have the heart to explore why You Mingji came to the human world again, and when the roar became weaker, Zi Lan summoned up her inner strength and shouted at the others: "Take the unconscious person, and go!"

In fact, needless to say, everyone has already seen the disparity in strength between the two sides and is about to evacuate. At this time, no one cares who is giving orders to them. Everyone has only one thought in their hearts - go!

However, it seems that this Youmingji didn't intend to let them do what they wished. Just when everyone was urging their spiritual power to retreat, Youmingji jumped and pressed down on top of them, and the two monks who had no time to dodge were caught by it. Then I saw the sharp armor between its claws stretch out, accompanied by a terrible blunt sound, the bodies of the two monks were instantly pierced by its sharp claws.

The shrill scream pierced into everyone's ears instantly, and everyone's heart trembled. At that moment, someone turned around and wanted to rush up to save the two, Zi Lan hurriedly dropped a barrier to block them.

"Don't go to die!!"

After that, I saw that Nether Ji lifted up the front paws of the two monks like a cat dipping its paws in water, and was about to put it into its mouth.

Zi Lan was shocked, he clearly remembered that You Mingji was not cannibalistic, but after thinking about it again, he immediately understood.Under normal circumstances, Nether Ji is indeed non-cannibal, but now that it is injured, it can just use these monks to replenish its spiritual power, no wonder it has to stop them from leaving!

Thinking of this, Zi Lan didn't care if she was the opponent of You Mingji, and after yelling at the people around him, "Hurry up!", she raised her sword and rushed towards the giant beast.

Along with him was Shen Ziliu.

After a quick exchange of glances, the two of them leaped tacitly onto the sharp claws that were almost brought to You Ying's mouth, and then threw a huge ball of fire at You Ying's eyes at the same time.Eyes are a relatively fragile part for most species with this organ, and this monster is no exception. Therefore, when two flaming fireballs came straight to its eyes, You Yin's claws paused, Opening his mouth at the fireball, he let out a loud roar, and the fireball suddenly seemed to hit some invisible obstacle, and both of them went out without a couple of thumps.

However, in just a short moment, Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan pulled out the cultivator stabbed in the sharp claws of You Mingjiu one by one.Ignoring the blood sprayed all over their heads and faces and the pain of the rescued two people, Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan led the people back to the river beach quickly, and threw the two injured people into the arms of others somewhat rudely.

The others saw them rushing up and wanted to help, but the barrier that Zilan threw in a hurry was still there. The barrier could not be entered, and a group of people could only wait behind the barrier.

Seeing someone trying to forcefully break through the barrier, Zi Lan sternly said, "Don't come here! You guys go!"

Qing Yin said anxiously behind the barrier: "Young Master Shen, Young Master Zi, let's go together! Besides, Young Master Shen has already consumed a lot of spiritual energy just now!"

At this moment, Nether Ji had slowly come back to his senses, the food in hand was taken away, and it suddenly became more violent, and even the air around it seemed to become sharp and biting.

Shen Ziliu, however, turned a deaf ear to Qing Yin's words, and he threw Tunxiang forward in front of him, the red light on the sword soared.

Zi Lan glanced at Shen Ziliu, knowing that no matter what he said, he would not back down, so while pinching Lingyu's sword blade and slashing it towards the palm of his hand, he said in a calm voice to the people behind the barrier: "Someone must hold You Ming back!" You, hurry up and ask Senior Brother Bai Ze for help. No one here is a match for You Mingjie, and the more people there are, the more trouble you will get in the way! Instead of staying and dying, you should go back quickly and bring in reinforcements!"
