Chapter 2 Tragedy

The battle in the sky was still going on, and under the effect of the monstrous mana, the air turned into a hurricane, and the entire sky was darkened.

The golden armored god was still waving his strong and powerful arms, and every time he hit the air, there was a lot of wind whistling.

The huge wind pressure danced wildly like a tornado, forming a series of wind barriers, making it extremely difficult for Tang Jie to move forward every minute.

The white figure on the other side was flying fast in the wind. Every time he swung his sword, a powerful sword light would strike down like lightning and land 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 under the wind pressure, maneuvered under the lightning, shuttled in the mountains and forests, and jumped between the boulders. He was dexterous like a monkey and rushed towards the top of Cuiwei Mountain.

Only there can he meet the immortals in the sky and have a chance to talk to them.

Suddenly there was another flash of light in the sky, Tang Jie instinctively rushed forward, and a flash of lightning sword light fell behind him, cutting on a big rock he had stepped on before, smashing the rock to pieces, and the aftermath A blast of air blasted out, sending Tang Jie flying out.

He groaned and spat out blood, then jumped up suddenly, grabbed a branch hanging from a big tree and swung forward.

The more he charged forward, the more powerful the aftermath of the battle would be. When he reached the halfway up the mountain, he felt that the wind was raging everywhere, the sword was like an electric wave, and the sky and the earth were filled with flying sand and rocks.

Then Tang Jie's footsteps stopped.

He can't stop!

Because there is no forest to cover the front - the entire top of Cuiwei Mountain has been cut into a bare piece.

That stream of sword energy, the all-pervasive wind pressure, whirled crazily on the top of Cuiwei Mountain, roaring, swirling out a majestic aura that would destroy the world, and if you go any further, you will definitely die.

Can't even get close?

Tang Jie looked at the sky hopelessly.

The two fighting figures in the sky had also reached the most intense moment.

A blurry phantom suddenly appeared behind the golden-armored god, and the moment the phantom 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 upright, with its feet on the ground, and the sky above its head.

Tang Jie could hardly control his urge to bow down, at this moment, the white figure suddenly shouted: "Get up!"

The originally bare hilltop of Cuiwei Mountain suddenly burst into light, forming a web of Luotian, which sealed the entire space, and also covered the golden armored god in it.

"Bamensuo Heaven Formation! Xu Muyang, so you have been prepared for a long time!" The golden armored god roared fiercely, and the phantom behind him suddenly punched Luo Tianmi's net.

The giant net vibrated with soaring brilliance, and even the entire space inside the formation trembled.

The vibrations of the air gushed out in waves like ocean waves, and they actually rushed out of a large formation and swept towards the outside of the formation.

Tang Jie was shocked, turned his head and ran away, and landed behind a boulder with a sudden leap.

The whistling air flow blew past his head, rolling up a large swath of clouds, and it took several seconds for the momentum to dissipate. Even the huge boulder swayed endlessly, narrowly suppressing Tang Jie.

"Damn it, is this an atomic bomb explosion?" Tang Jie cursed in a low voice.

Compared with the atomic bomb explosion, the power must be much lower, but the power of thousands of tons of high explosives is probably there.

The shocking blow of the golden-armored god blew up the eight-door lock sky formation until it disappeared, and even the top of Cuiwei Mountain was cut off by a small half. The horror of its power can be seen.

However, the virtual image behind the golden armored god also completely disappeared under this blow, and the man in white took advantage of the situation and swung his sword, slashing at the chest of the golden armored god.

"Ah!" With the scream of the golden armored god, a splash of blood splashed out.

The golden armored god swayed in the air for a few times, and almost fell off the clouds. Obviously, the sword hurt him very badly.

He fled without hesitation,

Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Xu Muyang, you can't escape! When the master comes, you will definitely die!"

Accompanied by the sound of the voice, the golden armored god has turned into a golden light and swept across the sky.

The white figure in the sky didn't pursue it either, it just watched the opponent disappear, then suddenly shook its body, and after spitting out blood, the figure flew towards the other end.

"Senior! Wait for me!" Seeing this scene, Tang Jie rushed out and chased after the white figure.

It's just that the white shadow was like lightning, and it was flying in the air again. There was no way he could catch up, and it disappeared from Tang Jie's sight in the blink of an eye, and he didn't know where he was again.

—————————

At the head of Xiaohe Village, the villagers are looking forward to it.

In the distance, the gunpowder smoke after the war has cleared, and the fairy trail has disappeared, leaving only a mess, a figure walking from a distance.

"It's Brother Jie, it's Brother Jie!" Yaya, with sharp eyes, was the first to spot someone, and shouted happily.

"It's Tang Jie, he's still alive!"

There was a sound of calling in the village, and everyone rushed over, surrounded him to ask questions, and saw that he was fine, but he was a little disheartened, and finally he was relieved.

"It's good if you're not dead." Uncle Li smiled with relief.

Yaya hugged Tang Jie and asked, "Brother Jie, have you met a fairy?"

Tang Jie shook his head and said with a smile, "I can't catch up with them...it's even hard to get close to them...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, you will fail, and if you live, you will be fine."

"That's right, what could be more important than being alive."

"Little robbery, I'm not talking about you, you should accept your nature and stop thinking about cultivating immortals. Immortal fate is hard to find, and immortal gates are hard to enter. Seeking immortality and Taoism is not something poor people like us can get." of."

"That's right, people, you still have to do your duty."

"That's right, Xiao Jie, why don't you buy back your three acres of land and talk to old Zhang, and he will agree."

For a while, everyone had different opinions, some were persuasive, some were ridiculed, some were well-intentioned to comfort, and some were contemptuous.

Uncle Li even reprimanded directly: "Stinky boy, are you willing to give up your life for the sake of immortality?"

"I'm just going after what I want."

"Will you die?"

"Yes! These days, there are many people who have dreams, but after all, too few are willing to pay the price for their dreams."

Uncle Li didn't expect that a half-grown child could say such a thing, and he was completely stunned.

Although Tang Jie's first trip to immortality failed, he did not regret it.

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 and ask questions in his heart not only did not subside, but intensified instead.

One day, I will be like them, roaming freely in this world.

No matter what difficulties and obstacles the future holds!

Tang Jie thought secretly.

————————

After this incident passed, the people in Xiaohe Village resumed their usual life, plowing in the morning and planting in the evening every day, working tirelessly.

Tang Jie still goes out early and returns late with everyone every day, and it seems that he has given up the unrealistic delusion before.

But whenever he was free, 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 began to grow again, and in this world full of aura, life seemed to be extraordinarily strong and resilient.

In just a few days, the mountain peak has been covered with green again, and the hazy golden glow once again shone on the land, swaying on Tang Jie's body, reflecting a faint golden shadow.

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 had already been done, and Tang Jie still went up the mountain every day.

For him, going up the mountain seems to have become a habit, and the villagers see it and sigh in their hearts.

Tang Jie stayed on the mountain for another day today, and it was already dusk when he came back.

When he came to 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 mountains again?"

"En." Tang Jieen said and was about to go back to the house.

Yaya has already grabbed him: "Brother Jie, what are you doing? People in the village say you are crazy, and the immortals are gone. You still run up the mountain every day. What are you planning?"

People in the village 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 did you know he was seriously injured?"

"Because he didn't hunt down another person... I think it's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that he can'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 nearby place to treat the injury immediately."

"So you go to the mountain every day to see if you can find him? You still haven't given up?" Yaya's excited little face flushed.

"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, see the world, and look for immortals .”

To Tang Jie, the one-month search up the mountain was just another failure in searching for immortals.

Two failures were far from enough to make him give up.

Ideals should be worthy of your relentless pursuit after countless failures.

"You..." Yaya was so angry by Tang Jie that she almost cried.

She raised her hand suddenly and gave Tang Jie a slap.

Burning pain.

"Tang Jie, you bastard!" Yaya shouted with all her strength, turned her head and ran out.

Looking at her running back, Tang Jie sighed, and could only silently say sorry in his heart.

He had never hurt a girl's heart like this before, especially a little girl who was interested in him, and he felt quite conflicted in his heart. He wondered if he should chase after him to comfort him, but he was afraid that the other party would pester him more and more. While hesitating, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horseshoes outside, and the dust was faintly visible in the distance. Looking at the wisps of smoke and hearing the thunder of the horseshoes, there were actually quite a few people coming.

In the blink of an eye, a murderous team appeared in the distance. Everyone was tall and tall, without a piece of armor, but holding steel knives and sharp blades.

Tang Jie was startled, and suddenly lay down on the ground.

Ever since he was stabbed to death in his previous life, Tang Jie had instinctively reacted when someone pointed a sharp knife at him.

This reaction saved his life. As soon as he lay down, he heard the sound of bowstrings. A sharp arrow flew past his scalp and was nailed to the wooden house behind him. The tail of the arrow was still shaking unsteadily.

"Horse thief!" Tang Jie jumped up and rushed towards the back of the house, while shouting loudly: "The horse thief is here! It's the horse thief from Noguhara!"

In Anyang Mansion, bandits swarmed up and looted everywhere. Some of them were brutal, and even killed and massacred villages at every turn.

Tang Jie had heard about all this for a long time, but he didn't expect to run into him this time.

Just as he avoided shouting, there was another sound of strings, and the attacking horse thief shot an arrow at Yaya.

"Get down, Yaya!" Seeing this scene, Tang Jie yelled hysterically.

However, the little girl didn't have Tang Jie's sensitive reaction after all. Seeing the sudden appearance of the horse thief, she was already frightened.

The arrow flew out through her chest, Yaya's whole body shook and she fell to the ground.

At the next moment, hundreds of horse thieves swarmed up. The leader was a tall and strong man, holding a nine-ringed sword, pointing to the front: "Kill! Kill all that can be killed, and take away all that can be robbed!"

"No!" Seeing Yaya's tragic death, Tang Jie cried out in pain.

Seeing that group of horse thieves rushed into the village and raised their butcher knives at the unprepared villagers, the whole sky was immediately filled with blood.

Even if some hunters picked up the knife and fork in their hands, they couldn't stop the horse thief who was galloping on the horse.

More villagers ran away in panic, but they were chased by the horse thieves one by one, pierced their bodies with spears, and cut off their heads with sabers.

The horse thieves roared and laughed, and wherever they went, there were no old people or children spared.

Hu Zi, Aunt Hu, Uncle He...

Hiding behind the house, Tang Jie was furious as he watched the villagers die one by one.

Uncle Li rushed out of the next house, 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 grinned grimly and rode his horse towards him.

"Bastard!" Tang Jie gritted his teeth, rushed to the horse thief, took out his dagger and threw it at the horse thief.

The horse thief reacted nimbly, and knocked the dagger flying with great precision. The horse's head hit Uncle Li, and when the knife fell, he had hacked Uncle Li to death. Then he looked at Tang Jie and said with a smile: one!"

He rode his horse and chased after him.

Seeing that something was wrong, Tang Jie turned around and ran towards the back mountain jungle, looking for the remote path. It's just that the horse was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had already rushed behind Tang Jie, and the saber was slashed down again. Just as he was about to hit, Tang Jie rushed forward, dodged the knife, turned around and swept away, and something appeared in his hand. But it is a rake in the backyard.

The rake hit the horse thief's waist, the horse thief didn't expect a twelve-year-old boy to have such a skill, he was completely unsuspecting and was being hit.

He was defenseless, and the nine rakes pierced deeply into his body, hissing in pain. At the same time, the horse's head had hit Tang Jie, knocking him flying, Tang Jie only felt that his ribs were probably broken by this blow, and he fell to the ground in agony.

The horse thief pulled out the rake, jumped off the horse, and walked towards Tang Jie viciously: "Stinky boy, you are doomed today!"

He asked himself that he has been practicing martial arts for many years, waiting for three or five strong men to do nothing to him, he did not expect to be injured by a little boy today, his heart was full of anger, and he was determined to tear this boy alive.

Seeing him striding forward, Tang Jie raised his hand suddenly, a handful of dust blinded the horse thief's eyes, and rushed forward with all his strength. He bit his throat.

The horse thief snorted in pain, and the saber in his hand had already slashed fiercely on Tang Jie's back. It landed on the back and bit the horse thief's throat tightly.

The horse thief was in a hurry, and slammed Tang Jie with a palm with all his strength, and finally pushed him away. Unexpectedly, this blow also cost his own life.

With the help of this push, Tang Jie bit out the entire trachea of ​​the horse thief, and a fountain of blood shot out. The horse thief held his throat and walked a few steps, and finally fell down powerlessly.

At the same time, Tang Jie fell heavily to the ground.

He was stabbed in the back, was hit by a horse earlier, and was hit with all his strength by a horse thief. He was also seriously injured, but he still walked up to the horse thief and snatched the horse thief's saber from his hand. down.

The horse thief was not dead yet, his eyes were staring at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie said coldly: "What are you looking at? Animals!"

The saber had passed the horse thief's throat.

flutter!

Only then did Tang Jie vomit blood, and leaned helplessly against the tree.

Although it was the first time to kill someone, he had no fear in his heart, only endless hatred for these scumbags.

A voice suddenly exploded in the sky like thunder:

"Bold thief, kill innocent people indiscriminately, suffer death!"
