Chapter 63: The Vicious Dog at the Foot of the Mountain Zuo Qiu's face was gloomy. Gu Yuanqing's words were clearly a mockery of him. "Don't think you can be safe with this formation. It needs spiritual energy to maintain. I don't believe you can keep it open. When the spiritual energy is exhausted, the formation will break. If you know what's good for you, hand over the knife now and surrender. If I'm in a good mood, I may spare your life considering that it's not easy to practice in this world." Gu Yuanqing sneered, "You are also a cultivator, who are you trying to scare with these words? As for how long this formation can last, hey, why don't you wait and see whether you can see the formation being broken when you leave this world." "If you are stubborn, I will make you live a life worse than death!" Gu Yuanqing felt bored and sat down, but secretly told Li Shian that he could leave. At this moment, as long as he stayed in Beiquan Mountain, he could clearly convey the message to others. "You don't dare to come in, and I don't want to go down either. How about you tell me about the outside world? I heard that you are from outer space. Can you tell me something to broaden my horizons? Maybe you can scare me, and then I can tie my hands and apologize to you." Zuo Qiu said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. The man surnamed Li is not here. You just want to hold me here so that he can escape from the mountain to find helpers." "Then why are you still here talking to me?" Gu Yuanqing was a little surprised. "He's just a person who barely made it to Daohuo Realm. Even if more of them come, it will only cost more effort. And no one can escape from my killing!" Zuoqiu's tone was grim, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. Gu Yuanqing suddenly felt that this pair of eyes turned into a whirlpool of blood, and his whole body was about to fall into it, and his consciousness seemed to be sinking into it.
Within his sea of consciousness, the shadow of Beiquan Mountain shook slightly. He shuddered and regained consciousness. Before Zuo Qiu could show any joy on his face, he suddenly felt a pain in his eyes, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. This was because his magic had been broken and he suffered backlash. Gu Yuanqing then realized that he had left the tree he had just been to without knowing when and flew forward several feet. The moment he regained consciousness, he almost fell from another tree. He was shocked and realized that he had been tricked without realizing it. He secretly reflected on himself and realized that he had underestimated the strength of Daohuo Realm. He thought that he had nothing to fear as he was in Beiquan Mountain. He didn't expect that he was almost controlled by it even though he was hundreds of meters away. He learned a lesson. "You... are kidding me?" Zuo Qiu covered his eyes and said gritting his teeth. Gu Yuanqing returned to his original position and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't say that. We are all adults. How can we use this word casually?" "Good, very good. I didn't expect that I, Zuo Qiu, would suffer twice when I came to this trial ground. You must not let me catch you, otherwise you will hate yourself for being alive." Gu Yuanqing sighed: "If you just want to say these things over and over again, I won't accompany you anymore." Zuo Qiu snorted coldly and stopped talking. He flew to a rock several dozen feet away and circulated his true energy to heal the wound in his eye. Gu Yuanqing shook his head. His goal had been achieved anyway. Zuo Qiu was unwilling to talk about things outside the sky, so there was no need to continue the conversation. He turned around and went back to Beiquan Mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain and passed by the side yard, he shouted, "Auntie Feng, we have to save some food recently. A vicious dog came down from the mountain and won't leave." The voice reached Zuo Qiu's ears from afar. He knew that Gu Yuanqing was scolding him, but he could only frown and do nothing. Aunt Feng also heard what Gu Yuanqing said, and walked out of the courtyard a few steps, gesturing for a while. Gu Yuanqing understood what she meant, saying that there were still a lot of things left in the granary, and she also planted vegetables in the mountains, and the meat was pickled, so there would be no problem eating for a few months. As for firewood and water, there is no need to worry about them. There is a mountain spring flowing all year round halfway up the mountain, and the dry firewood in the mountains can be burned for several years. Gu Yuanqing usually didn't pay much attention to these things when he was watching the mountains, so he felt relieved after hearing this: "That's good. Be careful these days and don't go down the mountain, otherwise you will be bitten by vicious dogs." Gu Yuanqing gave a few instructions and returned to his own courtyard. As for whether Zuo Qiu would leave or stay, that was none of his business. The only thing he had to do was to be careful of him from entering the mountains. After staying in the yard for a while, he went to an open space on the back hill with a knife in hand. After thinking for a while, he sent the knife a hundred feet away and released the pressure on the knife.
In an instant, the demon sword trembled violently, blood rushed into the sky, and the blood tiger reappeared in the world. As soon as it appeared, its aura locked onto Gu Yuanqing, as if it was remembering to suppress his hatred. Gu Yuanqing felt that the cold murderous intent was suffocating him, and his blood and true energy seemed to be solidifying. This was the first time he faced the power of the Dao Fire Realm. Compared with the Grandmaster Realm, the degree of terror increased exponentially. He quickly suppressed his anger with his mind and finally caught his breath. He felt his heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out, and his back was covered in cold sweat. "This is when my strength has reached the peak of the ninth level of Zhenwu. Ordinary people, let alone me, may not even need to make a move. Just this aura is enough to crush someone to death!" Frowning, Gu Yuanqing released a little more of his aura, and the demon sword began to vibrate violently in the air, and Gu Yuanqing's method of controlling objects could not control it. "There is a spirit in this sword. It is indeed a magical weapon. It is different from ordinary objects." As soon as Gu Yuanqing had an idea, the knife flew in the air, and accidentally drew an arc and fell on the rock. The rock was easily cut in half, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror. In terms of sharpness, this knife is far superior to the Kunwu Sword! He looked at the knife, then looked down at the secret room buried deep inside, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. "You know what, with the sharpness of this knife, it can really open a path from the outside to the secret room!" Gu Yuanqing was just thinking about this idea when he suddenly had an idea. He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He saw Zuo Qiu looking up at him from below. He was only a few meters away from the boundary of Beiquan Mountain. "It should be that he sensed the knife when I unlocked the blockade just now, so he ran over to check it out. It's really troublesome for a master to sense and warn of this sudden impulse. It seems that I have to find a way to learn the art of concealing the secrets in the future. Otherwise, no matter what means I use, people with high cultivation can sense it in advance and won't be fooled at all." Gu Yuanqing ignored the people below, as Zhi Zuoqiu would not come up anyway. He then used the method of controlling objects to practice manipulating this magic sword. Gu Yuanqing was not proficient in swordsmanship, but he had read some sword-manship secrets after all, and all weapons had something in common. His comprehension was unparalleled, so it didn't take long before he felt that this magic sword could be used to defend against the enemy, and it was more powerful than the Kunwu Sword. At this time, Li Shian, who had been traveling all the way, had returned to the royal capital. He went straight to the palace. Although he had not been there for a long time, it was still the same as it was many years ago. He easily found the Daqian Emperor Li Haotian and Prince Qing. (End of this chapter)
