Chapter 404
Zhang Xiaohua looked back and saw the bronze masked old man walking down a flight of stairs at the side of the hall!
"Oh no, how did he find out?"
Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed in her heart.
The bronze masked old man asked sternly, "Who are you?
How did you break into my sect's restricted area? "
Then he looked at the missing coffins in the array and was even more shocked. He exerted force on his feet and flew to the front of the array. He shouted, "Where are the coffins?
Did you do something to them?
Where did you take them? "
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She smiled apologetically and said, "Brother, you misunderstood me. I just came down and walked to the front of the coffins. I didn't understand anything and you appeared. What coffins are you asking about? I don't know."
The bronze masked old man said, "Oh?
Then I've wronged you. But, how did you get in?
There's only one entrance to this hall and it's right below my seat. I've been sitting there the whole night. How did you get in? "
Hearing the old man's question, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She released her divine sense and scanned the entire hall. At the same time, she looked at the old man. However, the old man didn't seem to feel anything. Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. She immediately scanned the old man with her divine sense. Sure enough, the old man seemed to feel something again. He raised his head and looked around. Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood and immediately withdrew her divine sense from the old man. It turned out that the old man wasn't able to sense divine sense. When the divine sense really scanned his body, he would feel it. If the divine sense circled around him, he wouldn't be able to feel it.
After the old man looked around, he didn't find anything. He stared at Zhang Xiaohua again.
Zhang Xiaohua pointed to a corner and said with a smile, "I saw a light here just now. It came in from that ventilated place."
"Oh?" The old man looked at the corner thoughtfully.
Subsequently, the old man said as he walked, "Young man, although you're masked, I can tell from your voice that you're young. I'm also a person who cherishes talents. Since you're able to sneak in here safely, you must have your own unique skills. My sect is now recruiting talents. If you can make a vow to not reveal the secret of this place and join my sect, I don't mind taking you as a disciple and teaching you everything I know. Moreover, I also have an important position in my sect. Your future will be a hundred times better than what you have now, won't it?"
As he spoke, he was already within ten paces of Zhang Xiaohua. However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't seem to be aware of it. She continued to let him walk forward, as if she was still thinking. Seeing this, the old man laughed in his heart. He didn't stop and continued to say, "You can see that my sect has a deep foundation. Although we do some shady business, we treat these goods very well. They even sleep on jade beds. If you agree to this old man's request, you can choose a few of these goods to be your concubines. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he got a lot closer. He was almost ten paces away from her.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "It's not difficult to agree to your request, but how can I trust you?
I still don't know what sect you belong to. Who are you? Why don't you take off the bronze mask first and let this one take a look first? "
The old man smiled and said, "You little brat are quite naughty. Good, since this old man has the intention to take you as a disciple, I'm not afraid that you'll see this old man's true face."
After he finished speaking, he stood still. He didn't open his left hand, but his right hand was about to take off the mask. However, just as his right hand touched the mask, his wrist flipped, and in coordination with his left hand, he slapped towards Zhang Xiaohua's chest.
However, Zhang Xiaohua acted as if she already knew this was going to happen. She didn't wait for the palm wind to reach her body. She immediately floated up and stood beside a coffin. She smiled and said, "Old man, why are you so impatient?
Why don't you wait for this one to explain clearly? "
When the old man saw that she had turned hostile, he didn't give her any face. He said sternly, "What's there to explain?
The coffins in this hall are connected to this old man's mind. If anyone moves, this old man will be able to sense it. This old man has been sitting on top of it for an entire night and there was no movement. How can this old man sense it when you just came in?
Don't tell me this isn't your trick. Who else could it be? "
Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that there must be something in this array that was connected to this old man. When she moved the lid of the coffin, it didn't affect the array. Therefore, the old man didn't sense anything. She could only blame herself for being greedy and wanting to take more, which attracted the old man's attention.
However, since she was going to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, she definitely had to go against this old man. Moreover, fortunately, this old man didn't seem to know her intentions. He thought that she was greedy and didn't use Little Orange to threaten her. If he really used Little Orange to threaten her, it would be difficult for her.
Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Since you know my intentions, I won't say anything more. If you let me out, I swear that I won't reveal the secret of this place. Otherwise, hehe …"
Zhang Xiaohua's eyes looked at the jade coffin under her feet with a sinister smile.
"You!!!"
Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but be enraged. He said, "You brat, if you dare to damage this array, I'll pull out your tendons and skin you alive!"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she deliberately asked, "Array?
What's an array? "
"This …" The old man seemed to have just realized that he had revealed something. He only snorted and said, "This day next year will be your death anniversary. What's the use of knowing so much?"
Zhang Xiaohua's face was suddenly enlightened. She said, "I see.
If I damage this stupid array, you'll pull out my tendons and skin me alive. If I'm honest, this day next year will be my death anniversary. Why don't you tell me why I didn't touch this coffin? "
The old man was speechless. Yes, wasn't this the reason?
Seeing that the old man was deflated, Zhang Xiaohua was very excited. She exerted force in her leg and was about to kick the coffin at the side. The old man was shocked and immediately jumped up. His right hand was like a knife. The leg that was kicked out towards Zhang Xiaohua was also like a sharp sword, chopping towards Zhang Xiaohua.
There was a girl sleeping in the coffin so Zhang Xiaohua naturally wouldn't really kick it. Seeing the old man's right hand chopping towards her, she laughed out loud. She flipped over to the top of the old man and clenched her left hand into a fist. Like a bolt of lightning, she punched towards the old man's face.
When the old man saw this, he knew that he had fallen for Zhang Xiaohua's little trick. He didn't care and raised his left hand, using the power of fire to burn the sky to block it. Zhang Xiaohua laughed in her heart. Even if this simple block was filled with inner force, how could it be a match for her strength of ten thousand jin?
Sigh, Zhang Xiaohua had never had the awareness of an expert. She had always pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger!
However, Zhang Xiaohua's concealment was useful to deal with ordinary experts. But who was her opponent now?
Although he didn't know, the other party was one of the famous experts in Jianghu. His experience was not ordinary. Although he didn't have the divine sense like Zhang Xiaohua, but with his inner force, he was able to see and hear clearly. Before Zhang Xiaohua's fist hit, the strength in the fist had already caused the surrounding air to change. The wind from the fist was biting cold and was very different from the usual.
That old man's expression changed slightly. He immediately put away his contempt and raised the inner force in his palm from thirty percent to seventy percent. In an instant, his palm and fist collided. A muffled "peng" sound was heard and a light breeze was set off around the two of them. The two of them felt an extremely abundant and unmatched strength coming from their arms. They saw the old man's body bend backwards and retreated ten steps. His feet actually left a footprint on the ground before he stopped. Zhang Xiaohua was the same. Her body flipped in the air for ten over somersaults before she was able to dissipate the strength.
The two of them stood on the ground with a grave expression. It was really out of their expectations.
Zhang Xiaohua knew that this old man's martial arts were extremely high and was a formidable opponent. But she didn't expect that the old man's hasty response would cause her to suffer so much. Then what was his true strength?
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to reevaluate the old man's martial arts.
The old man was also surprised. He didn't underestimate Zhang Xiaohua from the beginning. Before the fist and palm collided, he thought highly of her after hearing the wind from the fist. But after seeing the strength of Zhang Xiaohua's fist, he thought highly of her even more. He placed Zhang Xiaohua at the same level as himself.
This was the difference in experience. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know the old man's martial arts background and didn't know how many levels of inner force he had raised at the last moment. Therefore, she overestimated the old man's strength. On the other hand, the old man estimated Zhang Xiaohua's strength to be infinitely close to the truth.
Of course, this was only close to the level of martial arts.
Although Zhang Xiaohua estimated that her martial arts couldn't beat the old man, the situation in front of her didn't allow Zhang Xiaohua to retreat. Not to mention that the old man wouldn't let him go. Even if the old man wanted to let him go, he might not be willing to leave. A chivalrous heart was sometimes that simple.
The two of them looked at each other with a grave expression. Then, they shouted loudly and attacked almost at the same time. They fought bare-handed. Although the old man was old, the wind from his fist was biting cold. His inner force was incomparably abundant. It was actually not any less than Zhang Xiaohua's divine bravery.
The two of them fought for dozens of rounds. The old man suddenly laughed and said, "I thought you were Shaoxia from some sect. So you're a disciple of the Misty School!
This is strange. The Misty School has been destroyed for so many years. How are you still free and unfettered?
Moreover, how come I've never heard of someone like you in the Misty School? "
Zhang Xiaohua laughed loudly and said, "Don't ask where a hero comes from. Miracles come from people.
Why do you care which sect I'm from? "
"Your fist technique is something this old man has never seen before. But if your qinggong isn't the Ethereal Steps of the Misty School, then what is it?
Only, my sect has nothing to do with the Misty School. Why did you come to my sect to behave so atrociously? "
"Hahaha, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. If you didn't do anything outrageous, why would you be afraid of me coming to your door?"
The old man laughed and said, "That's good. I don't care where you're from. Leave your life first."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a short sword from his waist and stabbed it towards Zhang Xiaohua's head.
Zhang Xiaohua also laughed and said, "Only you have a sword. Watch me!"
After she finished speaking, she also pulled out a short sword that was a bit shorter than her opponent's. She took a step forward and faced the attack.
PS: After reading "Langzi"'s post urging the plot, I feel very apologetic. It's been hard for everyone to listen to my story slowly.
I wanted to come up with some interesting plot, but no matter how I look at it, it's similar to the plot of those little hooligans in the city. Who would be so stupid as to come up with it?
It's not interesting.
In fact, Xiaohua's combat strength was already very high. As far as the current situation was concerned, it was definitely enough. Moreover, wasn't it very unrealistic to get injured in a fight, and once injured, one's strength would increase explosively?
The golden finger couldn't be activated any faster. The Heavenly Axiom and the Innate Divine Restriction had already revealed some clues.
The path of cultivation was diverse and varied.
Even if it was plain, it would still feel like the third place.
Thank you again, "Langzi" and everyone's opinions. The essence is everyone's. The reward points will be given to everyone every month. I never use it for myself.
Oh right, I also have to thank everyone for their recommendation votes. Please vote more in the future.
(Please vote for me!!
Please add, please tip, thank you.)
