Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 2: Tragic change
The battle in the sky continued. Under the influence of the monstrous magic power, the air turned into a hurricane, and the entire sky darkened.
The golden-armored **** is still waving his strong and powerful arms, and every blow hits the air, causing a large roar of wind.
The huge wind pressure was like a tornado dancing wildly, forming wind barriers, making Tang Jie feel extremely difficult every step forward.
The white figure on the other side was flying through the wind quickly. Every time he swung his sword, a powerful sword light struck the air like lightning and landed on the ground below, leaving a deep crack in the ground. .
Tang Jie had to carefully avoid the attack from the aftermath of the sky.
He ran in the wind pressure, pranced in the lightning, shuttled through the mountains and forests, jumped between the boulders, as dexterous as a monkey, and ran towards the top of Cuiwei Mountain.
Only there can he reach the immortals in the sky and have the opportunity to talk to them.
Suddenly there was another flash of light in the sky. Tang Jie instinctively pounced forward, and there was already a flash of lightning sword light behind him. It was slashing on a big stone that he had previously stepped on, hitting the stone to the ground. It shattered, and the aftermath exploded into a ball of air, sending Tang Jie flying away.
He groaned and vomited blood, then jumped up suddenly, grabbed a branch hanging from a big tree and swung forward.
The further he rushed forward, the more powerful the aftermath of the battle became. By the time he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he felt that there were strong winds raging everywhere, swords like lightning waves, and the sky and earth were filled with flying sand and rocks.
Then Tang Jie stopped.
He can't stop!
Because there is no forest blocking the front - the entire top of Cuiwei Mountain has been cut into a bare patch.
The sword energy and the all-encompassing wind pressure were spinning wildly on the top of Cuiwei Mountain, whistling, creating a majestic momentum that would destroy the world. If you go forward, you will definitely die.
Can't you even get close?
Tang Jie looked at the sky hopelessly.
The two fighting figures in the sky have now reached the most intense moment of their fight.
A blurry shadow suddenly appeared behind the golden-armored god. As soon as the shadow appeared, it gave Tang Jie an endless sense of oppression. He found that he couldn't see the face of this phantom at all. He only felt that its existence was standing upright, with its feet on the earth and the sky above its head.
Tang Jie could hardly control his urge to kneel down. At this moment, the white figure suddenly shouted: "Get up!"
The originally bare mountain top of Cuiwei Mountain suddenly burst out with thousands of rays of light, forming a heavenly web that sealed the entire space, also covering the golden-armored god.
"Eight Gate Heaven Locking Formation! Xu Muyang, it turns out you have been prepared!" The golden-armored **** roared fiercely, and the shadow behind him suddenly punched out and hit the Luotian secret net.
The giant net shook out a radiance that reached into the sky, causing the entire space within the formation to tremble.
The vibrations in the air surged out like waves, and a large formation actually surged towards the outside of the formation.
Tang Jie was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He suddenly jumped forward and landed behind a boulder.
The whistling air flow blew over his head, rolling up large clouds. It took several seconds for the momentum to dissipate. Even the boulders were shaking, threatening to hold Tang Jie down.
"Damn, is this an atomic bomb explosion?" Tang Jie cursed.
Compared with the explosion of an atomic bomb, the power of this is definitely much lower, but it is probably as powerful as several thousand tons of high explosives.
The golden-armored god's earth-shattering blow blew up the eight-door sky-locking formation until it disappeared into smoke. Even the top of Cuiwei Mountain was cut off in half. The terror of its power is evident.
However, the virtual image behind the golden-armored **** also disappeared completely under this blow. The man in white took advantage of the situation and swung a sword, slashing at the chest of the golden-armored god.
"Ah!" As the golden-armored **** screamed, a splash of blood spattered out.
The golden-armored **** swayed in the air for a few times and almost fell into the clouds. It was obvious that the sword hurt him very seriously.
He ran away without hesitation, and before leaving he said: "Xu Muyang, you can't run away! When the master comes in person, you will definitely die!"
As the voice whispered, the golden-armored **** turned into a golden light and swept across the sky.
The white figure in the sky did not pursue it, but just watched the opponent disappear, then suddenly shook his body, spit out blood, and flew towards the other end.
"Senior! Wait for me!" Seeing this scene, Tang Jie rushed out and chased the white figure.
It was just that the white shadow was like lightning, and it was flying through the air. There was no way he could catch up with it. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Tang Jie's sight, and its destination was nowhere to be found.
——————————
At the head of Xiaohe Village, the villagers are looking forward to it.
The smoke from the distant war has dispersed, the fairy trail has been lost, leaving only a mess, and a figure walking from a distance.
"It's Brother Jie, it's Brother Jie!" Yaya's sharp eyes saw the person first and she shouted happily.
"It's Tang Jie, he's still alive!"
There was a cry of call in the village, and everyone rushed over to him, gathered around him and asked questions. Seeing that he was fine, but just a little disgraced, they finally felt relieved.
"It's good that I'm not dead." Uncle Li said with a relieved smile.
Yaya hugged Tang Jie and asked, "Brother Jie, have you met an immortal?"
Tang Jie shook his head and smiled: "I can't catch up with them... I can't even get close... I failed."
His tone was calm and his smile was sincere, but everyone could still hear the unwillingness hidden under the smile on the surface.
"If you fail, just fail, just live."
"That's right, what can be more important than living."
"Xiao Jie, I'm not telling you, you should just keep your temper and stop thinking about cultivating immortals. It's hard to find immortality, and it's hard to enter the immortal gate. Seeking immortality and attaining enlightenment are not for poor people like us. People can get it."
"That's right, people, it's better to stick to their duties."
"Yes, Xiaojie, why don't you buy back your three acres of land and talk to Lao Zhangtou, he will agree."
For a time, everyone had different opinions, some were exhorting bitterly, some were ridiculing and ridiculing, some were kind-hearted and comforting, and some were scornful and disdainful.
Uncle Li reprimanded directly: "You brat, are you willing to risk your life just to seek immortality?"
"I just work hard to pursue what I want."
"Don't hesitate to die?"
"Yes! These days, there are many people with dreams, but after all, too few are willing to pay the price for their dreams."
Uncle Li didn't expect that a half-year-old child could say such a thing, and he was completely stunned.
Although Tang Jie failed in his first journey to seek immortality, he had no regrets.
Because he tried, worked hard, and even worked hard.
As long as you fight for your dreams, you will have no regrets even if you fail.
The desire to seek immortality in his heart not only did not subside, but intensified.
One day, I will be like them, roaming the world.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles there may be in the future!
Tang Jie secretly said.
——————————
After this incident passed, the people in Xiaohe Village returned to their usual lives, plowing in the morning and planting in the evening, working hard every day.
Tang Jie still goes out early and comes back late every day with everyone, and seems to have given up on his previous unrealistic dreams.
But every time he had free time, Tang Jie would come to Cuiwei Mountain alone and sit there quietly, staring blankly at the sky above his head.
The trees destroyed by the battle have begun to grow again. In this world full of spiritual energy, life appears to be particularly strong and resilient.
In just a few days, the mountain peaks were covered with green again, and the hazy golden clouds once again shone on the land, casting a faint golden shadow on Tang Jie's body.
He is like a stone statue, standing on the top of the mountain...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The work in the fields has long been finished, but Tang Jie still goes up the mountain every day.
For him, going up the mountain seems to have become a habit. The villagers see it and sigh in their hearts.
Today Tang Jie spent another day in the mountains, and it was already dusk when he came back.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Tang Jie saw Yaya waiting for him at the door.
The little girl looked at herself with big bright eyes and whispered softly: "Are you going to the mountain again?"
"Yes." Tang Jie said gratefully and went back to the house.
Yaya had already grabbed him: "Brother Jie, what are you doing? People in the village say you are crazy. Even the immortals are gone. Why are you still running up the mountain every day?"
The villagers have asked him this question many times.
Tang Jie never answered.
But today, Tang Jie hesitated and finally said: "In that battle, I saw that the man in white was injured. He was seriously injured..."
"How do you know he was seriously injured?"
"Because he didn't chase down another person... I think it's not that he didn't want to do it, but that he couldn't do it." Tang Jie replied.
"So..."
"So I think he may not have gone far. For him, the best thing to do is to find a place nearby to treat his injuries immediately."
"So you go to the mountain every day to see if you can find him? You still haven't given up?" Yaya's face turned red with excitement.
"I have never given up." Tang Jie said lightly: "Even if I still fail this time, I will not give up. In another year, I will leave here, go out, and see the world. Go find the immortal."
For Tang Jie, a month of continuous pursuit on the mountain was just another failed attempt to find the immortal.
Two failures were not enough to make him give up.
Ideals should be something that is worthy of your unremitting pursuit despite countless failures.
"You..." Yaya was so angry that Tang Jie almost cried.
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped Tang Jie.
A burning pain.
"Tang Jie, you bastard!" Yaya shouted with all her strength, turned around and ran out.
Looking at her running back, Tang Jie sighed and could only say sorry silently in his heart.
He has never hurt a girl's heart so much, especially a little girl who has feelings for him. He feels quite conflicted in his heart. He wonders if he should catch up and comfort him, but he is also afraid that the other girl will pester him more and more. While I was hesitating, I suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from outside. I could vaguely see flying dust in the distance. Looking at the wisps of smoke and hearing the thunder of the horse hooves, I saw that there were quite a few people coming.
In the blink of an eye, a murderous team appeared in the distance. They were all tall and powerful, wearing no armor, but holding sharp steel knives. The leaders even raised their short bows and pointed in this direction.
Tang Jie was shocked and fell down suddenly.
Ever since he was stabbed to death in his previous life, Tang Jie reacted instinctively when he saw someone pointing a sharp knife at him.
This reaction saved his life. As soon as he lay down, he heard the sound of a bowstring. A sharp arrow had already passed by his scalp and was nailed to the wooden house behind him. The tail of the arrow was still shaking uncontrollably.
"Horse thief!" Tang Jie jumped up and rushed towards the back of the house, shouting at the same time: "The horse thief is here! It's the horse thief from Noguhara!"
Thieves have sprung up in Anyang Mansion, plundering everywhere. Some have a cruel temperament, killing people and slaughtering villages at every turn, leaving no stone behind wherever they go. Among them, the Ye Guyuan horse thief is the most vicious.
Tang Jie had heard about all this for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would encounter it this time.
Just as he was avoiding the call, there was another sound of a string, and the incoming horse thief shot an arrow at Yaya.
"Yaya, get down!" Seeing this scene, Tang Jie yelled hysterically.
However, the little girl did not have Tang Jie's quick reaction. When she saw the sudden appearance of the horse thief, she was stunned.
The sounding arrow flew through her chest, and Yaya's body shook and she fell to the ground.
The next moment, a large number of horse thieves, hundreds of them, swarmed up. The leader was tall and strong, holding a nine-ringed sword, pointing forward: "Kill! Kill everything that can be killed, and take away everything that can be robbed. !"
"No!" Seeing Yaya's tragic death, Tang Jie cried out in pain.
Looking at the group of horse thieves, they had already rushed into the village and raised their butcher knives at the unprepared villagers. Bloody light immediately filled the entire sky.
Even if a hunter picked up the knife and fork in his hand, he could not stop the horse thief who was galloping on his horse. The sharp sword light used the horse's momentum to cut down an hunter, and the horse thief chopped off his body and head.
More villagers ran away in panic, but when the horse thieves were chasing them, they caught up from behind one by one, stabbing their bodies with spears and cutting off their heads with sabers.
The horse thieves were roaring and laughing, and no one, including the elderly and children, was spared wherever they went.
Huzi, Aunt Hu, Uncle He...
Hiding behind the house, Tang Jie watched each villager die, feeling furious in his heart.
Uncle Li rushed out of the house next to him, saw his daughter lying in a pool of blood, and rushed out screaming.
"Don't come out!" Tang Jie shouted urgently.
When a horse thief saw Uncle Li, he galloped towards him with a grin on his face.
"Bastard!" Tang Jie gritted his teeth, rushed towards the horse thief, took out his dagger and threw it at the horse thief.
The horse thief reacted flexibly, and he knocked the dagger away with great accuracy. The horse's head hit Uncle Li, and when the knife fell, he had already chopped Uncle Li to death. Then he looked at Tang Jie and said with a smile: "There's one more!"
He rode in pursuit.
Tang Jie didn't see what was going on, so he turned around and ran towards the jungle in the back mountain, looking for the lonely path. However, the horse was very fast. In a blink of an eye, it had rushed behind Tang Jie, and the saber struck again. Just when it was about to hit him, Tang Jie suddenly jumped forward, dodged the sword, turned around and swept away, and something appeared in his hand. , but it is the rake in the backyard.
The rake hit the horse thief on the waist. The horse thief did not expect that a twelve-year-old boy would have such a skill. He was completely unprepared and was hit.
He was defenseless, and the nine rake points penetrated deeply into his body, and he hissed in pain. At the same time, the horse's head hit Tang Jie, knocking him completely away. Tang Jie felt that his ribs were probably broken by the impact, and he fell to the ground in agony.
The horse thief had already pulled out the rake~IndoMTL.com~ jumped off the horse and walked towards Tang Jie fiercely: "You brat, you are dead today!"
He asked himself that he had been practicing martial arts for many years, and even three or five strong men could do nothing to him. Unexpectedly, he was injured by a little kid today. He was so angry that he was determined to tear this kid alive.
Seeing him striding forward, Tang Jie suddenly raised his hand, and a handful of dust blinded the horse thief's eyes. He used all his strength to pounce on the horse thief. The horse thief's waist was injured and he couldn't move well, so his body naturally leaned down. He actually bit his throat.
The horse thief grunted in pain, and the saber in his hand slashed fiercely at Tang Jie's back. The saber needed to be swung in space to exert its power, but it would not have much effect in such a close combat, but Tang Jie was determined to die. Letting the blade fall on his back, it bit the horse thief's throat and refused to let go.
The horse thief was so anxious that he used all his strength to hit Tang Jie with a palm, and finally pushed him away. Unexpectedly, this blow would also kill him.
With the force of this push, Tang Jie bit out the entire trachea of the horse thief, and a fountain of blood shot out. The horse thief covered his throat and walked for a few steps before finally falling down weakly.
At the same time, Tang Jie also fell heavily to the ground.
He was stabbed in the back, hit by a horse before, and slapped with all his strength by a horse thief. The injury was also very serious, but he still walked up to the horse thief and took the horse thief's saber from his hand. Take it down.
The horse thief was not completely dead yet, staring at Tang Jie with his eyes.
Tang Jie said coldly: "What are you looking at? You beast!"
The saber has passed across the horse thief's throat.
Pounce!
At this time, Tang Jie vomited blood and leaned weakly against the tree.
Although it was his first time to kill someone, he didn't have any fear in his heart, only endless hatred for these scum.
A voice suddenly sounded like thunder in the sky:
"Bold thief, who kills innocent people indiscriminately, shall die!"
