Turned a corner while ascending

The Zhonghuang Realm is surrounded by endless seas, and a sky-reaching river separates the southern and northern borders, which seems to divide the two heavens and the earth.

Among them, the northern region has four distinct seasons, the summer is not too hot, and the winter is not too cold. The products are abundant, and there are many vast plains, which are relatively prosperous.

There is only severe and cold winter in the southern border, and the warmest time is only as good as the early spring in the northern border. Half of the land is solid ice that does not melt all year round. There is no soil and lack of vegetation, which is not suitable for human survival.

Where there are people, there are disputes.

The 400-year war ended, and the losers were expelled from the fertile northern border to the barren southern border by the superiors.

It took them many years and the death of countless tribesmen before they found a way to survive in the northern border - digging holes in the snow and surviving tenaciously by relying on aquatic products and aquatic plants. Because of this special way of survival , they call themselves "snow cave people".

The victorious king of the northern border named his dynasty "Chang". The Dachang Dynasty has been passed down for nearly 600 years. The extremely powerful army and military force when they robbed the world back then could not exist in the peaceful dynasty. Gradually, some were smoothed out. Abandoning the edges and corners, abandoning martial arts and following literature, some of them were expelled from the temple and lived in the rivers and lakes.

Jianghu is a magical place.

Especially in recent years, the so-called Jianghu people and the orthodox Dachang Dynasty each occupy half of the country. The Ming ruler of the dynasty was wise, but kind-hearted. Even after experiencing repression, rebellion, friction, etc., the kind-hearted can tolerate the so-called martial arts leader. Rule the world with yourself.

But no matter how much the two parties fought each other, there was a consensus, that is, everyone in the Southern Territory south of the Tongtian River was an enemy of the Dachang Dynasty!

Living in a world of ice and snow, close to the aquatic life in the sea, extremely low temperature, malnutrition... When everyone thinks of a snow caveman, they will see a person covered in fur all over his body with messy and disorderly hair. , complexion sallow.A mouthful of yellow teeth, a stooped figure like an old man in his seventies.

But the reality is exactly the opposite of people's imagination.

People in the Snow Cave all practice profound inner strength, and they are not afraid of the cold when walking outside, and only children and people without inner strength foundation will wrap themselves in snow bear fur.

Those with profound internal strength, such as Bai Zong, will not feel cold even wearing a layer of tulle.

People in Xuedong eat a certain kind of silvery white fish in the sea all the year round. The meat of this fish is tender and smooth, and it is delicious when eaten raw or cooked. The darkest ink can't be dyed, and the white skin is almost the same color as the cleanest new snow, which will glow.

They all have profound features, tall and handsome, for example, Bai Zong.

Of course, Bai Zong is not only handsome, but also has white teeth, pleasing behavior, well-dressed clothes, and natural body fragrance on his body, so he will fascinate many men, women and children just by going out casually.

In the ice and snow, Ning Xi desperately complained about his taciturn good brother.

Ever since he learned that Bai Zong was from the southern border, Ning Xi's slander had never stopped, but he also followed him to this place that he called a "paradise" without hesitation.

Ning Xi is young, but his internal strength is extremely deep, so he doesn't feel cold at all, but now, they have encountered some small troubles.

Walking in front, Bai Zong, who almost merged with Bai Xue, stopped suddenly.

"They are chasing you." The voice was as cold as the temperature at this time.

"So fast! We obviously destroyed all the rafts that could pass through the Tongtian River. Those people have dog noses, and they can chase them so quickly across a big river..." Ning Xi said Without stopping, he drew his sword.

Both use swords.

Bai Zong's sword is the same as his own, pale, cold, and looks ugly.But Ning Xi has seen it show its mighty power, the ice-like sword, but it can wield a blazing light that incinerates all swords.

Ning Xi's sword is narrow and slender, somewhat like himself, small and soft.But Bai Zong has also seen it showing its power. It is such a soft sword, but the sword light it swung is cold and ruthless. The lives harvested by it can't even see the slightest wound on the body.

The two met each other with a sword, cherished each other, and traveled the north and south of the river hand in hand.Young heroes have almost nothing to fear. In the end, they got into a big trouble, so much trouble that Bai Zong had to prepare to hide back to the southern border and seek the asylum of his tribe.

Ning Xi persisted and followed him, saying that he would give him a ride.But both of them knew that once they entered the southern border, it might be difficult for Ning Xi to leave in a short time.

Soon, the tail behind him followed.

This is a team of well-trained dead soldiers.

When the two of them were wandering around the rivers and lakes, they had never heard of such a group of people. Their martial arts were terrifyingly high, as if they were endless, pervasive, with strange moves, and fearless of death. If it wasn't for Ning Xi's cleverness, I'm afraid they would have never known death. how many times.

The dead soldiers didn't know how many were hacked to death.

Ning Xi's background is quite shocking to say the least, he has extremely high aptitude, he has been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and he is about to defeat an invincible opponent at a young age.

And Bai Zong is also the one with the strongest aptitude among Xuedong people in history. He has acquired the deepest inner strength, the best kung fu, and traveled abroad at the best age. Both of them became famous as teenagers in the Jianghu. After a while, they both felt that the other party was not an eyesore, so they often got together.

The smooth sailing of the two finally kicked the iron plate this time.

The leader of this group of dead men will always be a short figure with a painted face mask and a gray robe covering his body. He cannot distinguish between men and women, and there will always be only one sentence in his words——

"Hand over the things, and I will spare you from dying!"

Ning Xi couldn't help digging his ears, and said provocatively: "Hey, you ugly bastard, how many times have you said this yourself, is it a waste? If I can hand it over, I will still stand here Is the place in the world of ice and snow talking nonsense to you?"

The leader didn't talk nonsense, he stretched out his hand, and hid behind himself, and in an instant, a dozen dead soldiers rushed up like wolves and tigers.

The cold light reflected by the sword was much colder than the ice and snow that filled the sky.

Ning Xi and Bai Zong were back to back, swaying the sword in their hands with all their true energy, defending against the enemy with the sword energy they each comprehended.

This is the most effective and safest way of fighting that the two have obtained after many fights.

Under normal circumstances, this group of dead men would be defeated one by one by the two of them and beheaded by the sword, the leader would naturally retreat, and next time he would continue to catch up with the dead men without anyone noticing.

It's like a tarsus bone, and it can't be scraped clean.

But this time, for unknown reasons, when the two of them used their familiar internal force to fend off the enemy, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

It looked as if his internal strength and power had been cut in half, and six times out of ten times when he swung the sword, he couldn't even wield the sword energy!

This is simply impossible and an intolerable omission.

Soon, the situation was reversed, the dead man did not die, but Bai Zong died in order to block a blow for Ning Xi.

Ning Xi was very anxious, and when he smelled the smell of blood, he lost the most important instinct of being a knight - he turned around to check where Bai Zongshang was, but exposed his back.

"Be careful!" Bai Zong was also anxious.

Ning Xi flipped over and jumped up from the top of Bai Zong's head. At the same time, Bai Zong dragged him and turned them around, so that their backs were leaning against each other again.

In the same place, there was a small figure.

This painted-faced man was very close, the closer he got, the more Ning Xi felt that he couldn't lift his strength, and he couldn't help but secretly vigilant, this man must be poisoned!

"Hand over the things, and spare the two of you!" The painted-faced man repeated.

Ning Xi suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't lift up all his strength. At the same time, he felt that Bai Zong's back also softened.

"Despicable and shameless! If you beat more with less, you will still poison you!" Ning Xi gritted his teeth.

The painted-faced man didn't seem to hear it, and continued to repeat: "Hand over the things, and I will spare your lives."

Ning Xi was about to be unable to stand up any longer. With the last of his strength, he stretched out his hand and groped inside Bai Zong's sleeve for a while, then pulled out a small box.

"Want this? It's this thing that ruined the lives of more than 140 members of the Shen family in Bingzhou Prefecture, and turned more than [-] members of Quecheng Mountain into a barren grave? You have no conscience at all! Now, even if this thing is destroyed, Don't let it fall into your hands!"

After Ning Xi finished speaking, he thought about his parents, brothers, and his beloved master in his heart, and he was about to use the final ultimate move - self-destruct in one go, and die together with the enemy.

The painted-faced man seemed to see Ning Xi's intentions, and suddenly changed his habit of never taking the initiative to attack before, and pounced forward like a ghost!

So fast!Ning Xi was startled, and he couldn't even tell what kind of movement technique he was using, but the person was already close in front of him.

He didn't even have time to put away the small box in his hand!

But something even weirder happened.

Just when the painted-faced man's fingers just touched the small box.

There was a slight crackling sound, followed by a scream, and a burning smell. The painted-faced man seemed to be knocked away by something invisible, and he lay down on the ground, twitching all over his body, wailing endlessly. It looked very painful.

Ning Xi suddenly felt that all her strength had returned!

The arena was silent, only the sound of the painted-faced man writhing in pain and panting in pain was heard, and the surrounding dead men seemed a little at a loss, so they surrounded the two of them, neither stepped forward nor left, and no one stepped forward. Pay attention to the life and death of the leader.

Ning Xi and Bai Zong looked at each other tacitly, and they were about to run away quickly.

But at this moment, the arrival of another person broke the weird atmosphere.

This is a man in white who descended from the sky.

The first thing you notice when you see this person is naturally his appearance.

His appearance was so handsome that he could be called an evildoer, his facial features were exquisite like a good woman, but all the softness was blocked by the sharpness between his brows, and the dark blue vertical lines on his forehead made this person even more mysterious.

Besides his appearance, Ning Xi naturally also paid attention to his clothing.

This person was dressed in white, and his hair was pulled up by a headband of the same color. He didn't wear a crown, didn't match jade, and there was nothing superfluous on his body.

The white clothes are monotonous and are usually worn by ordinary people, but the luxurious material of this person's clothes surpasses everything Ning Xi has seen, even the "gold and silver weaving sheath" that is only for the imperial court is comparable to it. Overshadowed.

The man in white appeared inexplicably, and seemed a little confused.

He stood very close to Ning Xi and Bai Zong, Ning Xi quietly poked Bai Zong's chest, and asked softly, "Your clan?"

Bai Zong was also puzzled, he looked carefully and shook his head.

At this time, the painted-faced man finally got up from the snow again silently. Although the mask covered his face, it still gave people a feeling that he was very weak at this moment.

The painted-faced man waved his hand again, and said in a hoarse voice, "Kill them all, leave none behind."

Ning Xi and Bai Zong heard this, as did the new man in white, he raised his eyebrows.

Reach out.

I just stretched out my hand, without unnecessary movements, without any weapons, the wind suddenly blew up, rolled up the snow, the sky and the ground were all white, and the dead men who surrounded me in a circle, including the painted-faced man, suddenly seemed to be surrounded by thick and thick The whip seemed to be whipped, and it rolled on the ground for several feet, and the weapon in his hand could not be held, and fell to the ground.

The man in white withdrew his hand, as if he felt that this was enough, and he didn't intend to make another move.

The mask on the shocked face of the painted-faced man was about to fall off, his eyeballs twitched, and he gestured from afar.

So the group of dead men disappeared inexplicably just like when they came.

Ning Xi and Bai Zong were left, looked at the man in white, and looked at each other.
