I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

35. Chapter 35 It’s all fate

Chapter 35 It's all fate

Time flies and two more days have passed.

The time came to the 15th. On this day, the sun and the moon alternated. Chen Luo used the Jade Book to practice skillfully in the morning. So far, he has collected nearly ten unknown energies in his body. These energies are lurking in his body, invisible and intangible, and have not brought any benefits for the time being.

After finishing his training, Chen Luo opened his eyes, then jumped lightly onto the topmost stone and looked down at the valley.

"It should be tonight."

Standing at the highest point of the valley, Chen Luo finally locked onto the mysterious mine. In order to hide the traces, Magistrate Lou had someone fill the outside with a huge stone, but now the stone can no longer suppress the strange phenomenon. Especially after Chen Luo entered a special state, using the royal brain to "see" this mine, he would see colorful mist seeping out.

However, this color can only be seen by people in special conditions. When you look at it with your naked eyes, the valley is still the same valley, with no difference. The only difference is that the temperature has risen a lot, and some small flowers in the valley have inexplicably bloomed.

"Sir, my nephew has almost recovered. We are going to leave early tomorrow morning."

Old Man Tian shot a pheasant and personally delivered it to Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo had not received any gifts in the past few days, he felt that the gifts should still be given. This was a matter of attitude. If they had not happened to meet Chen Luo this time, they would have definitely died in the mountains.

Not to mention those martial arts masters, the wild beasts in the mountains alone are enough to kill them. The seriously injured Tian Daniu is just a bait, and the bloody smell on his body is a deadly danger. Fang Cun and Fang Shan are definitely not able to defend. Although they are big brothers, they have never practiced martial arts. They only do some peripheral work in the caravan and follow Tian Daniu to make a living. This kind of brute strength is okay against ordinary people, but in front of the wild beasts in the mountains, it is just a condiment for the meal.

"Let's go today. Something might happen here tomorrow."

Chen Luo raised his head and looked into the distance.

Just a moment ago, he heard the sound of swords clashing again.

Although there is still some distance, I can clearly feel the direction the other party is moving.

It was heading towards the valley.

There are capable people in the court, and once the strange phenomenon appears, it will definitely not be hidden from these people. He is not the only hero in the world who has had a strange encounter. Being able to seize the opportunity for two days is already an advantage.

"Is something going to happen?"

Old Man Tian’s face changed.

Seeing that Chen Luo had no intention of saying anything else, he hurriedly put down his things and went down the mountain to discuss with his nephew Tian Daniu.

The accident happened faster than Chen Luo expected.

Just as dusk fell and the sky was not yet completely dark, the sounds of fighting could be heard outside the valley.

Old Man Tian, ​​Tian Daniu and others listened to his advice and had already left the valley. However, judging from the situation, they would most likely run into people outside, and whether they could escape depended on their luck.

I just hope they won't be so unlucky.

After restraining his own breath, Chen Luo leaped lightly, stepped on the branches and landed in a hidden valley, then looked down along the gap.

Two figures were chasing below, one of them was the knife-wielding muscular man that Chen Luo was familiar with. But this time, the knife-wielding muscular man was running away, and a skinny Taoist priest was chasing him from behind. Both of them were very fast, and they reached the valley entrance in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps realizing that he couldn't escape, the knife-wielding burly man's face flashed with anger and he stomped his foot on the ground.

Sand and gravel flew everywhere, creating a deep pit.

The burly man with the knife used the force to turn around suddenly, and the large golden ring knife in his hand swung and swept across, slashing towards the old Taoist behind him.

The sword energy soared into the sky, startling countless flying birds.

But the old Taoist behind him seemed to have anticipated this. He stopped the moment the sturdy man turned around. Not only that, his body flew away strangely like a leaf, avoiding the fatal knife in an incredible way. At the same time, he stretched out his index finger and flicked it at the knife.

bite!!

With a crisp sound, the two forces exploded on the spot, and large leaves flew everywhere. The two of them took several steps back after the collision.

Grandmaster!

Another master.

Chen Luo was shocked. After a few days of training, his observation skills became sharper. With just one glance, he could tell that the power used by the two men in the fight was the power of a master.

"What a strong Taoist priest, what strange movements he has."

His eyes swept past the burly man and Chen Luo focused his attention on the old Taoist.

He had seen the strength of the strong man with his own eyes a few days ago. He was definitely a strong man among the masters. But he had no way to deal with the old Taoist priest at all. He was beaten without any ability to fight back.

At first glance, this dry old Taoist looked like an ordinary person, nothing special. But when he started to fight, he was extremely fierce, his moves were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. But each move happened to hit the strong man's weak spot, making him spit blood repeatedly.

"Master Lichen, you are forcing me!"

After being repelled again, the eyes of the knife-wielding sturdy man turned red.

"You can also give up resistance."

Taoist Li Chen also stopped, and said calmly. The corners of his clothes were not messed up, which showed that he did not use his full strength to suppress the strong man with the knife.

"This is how the world is. Many things are destined at birth. This is fate."

"Fuck you, die for me!!"

The sturdy man holding the knife finished accumulating strength, and flew up, with a burst of blood energy bursting out from the big knife in his hand. The momentum rose from the sky, and suddenly condensed into a huge blood knife, and chopped towards the old Taoist Li Chen with the posture of splitting Huashan Mountain.

"You still don't understand."

Taoist Li Chen looked at the knife coming towards him and this time he was too lazy to even dodge.

Clang

Just as the knife was about to fall, the strong man holding the knife suddenly couldn't hold on and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The mighty knife force suddenly dissipated into the wind, and the man fell from the air, completely losing the ability to resist.

"You poisoned me?!"

"This is not poison, it's magic."

Taoist Li Chen walked over and picked up the big knife that fell on the ground, then raised his head and glanced sideways at the place where Chen Luo was hiding.

"Everything is fate."

Discovered?

Chen Luo, who was hiding in the dark, was startled and instinctively dodged to the left. The next moment, he felt his right arm go numb, and a diamond-shaped dart had shot through his arm at some point. The dart itself was nailed to the stone, and blood dripped down along the diamond-shaped structure.

"hidden weapon!!"

Chen Luo looked back, and without even thinking, he rolled to the side.

This was the result of practicing for a few days and improving his perception. If it was before, he would probably have turned into a corpse by now.

The gap between the early stage of Bone Tempering Realm and the Grandmaster Realm is really too big.

Not to mention that he is a top master among the masters like Taoist Li Chen.

The Taoist priest Li Chen had already chopped off his head with a strong man's sword, and blood splattered all over the ground. A great master died in this nameless valley, just like the Jianghu man buried by Chen Laosan.

I don’t know my life, I don’t know my origin.

"This is your life, why are you hiding?"

After killing the man, Taoist Li Chen raised his head, looked at Chen Luo who was fleeing, and said indifferently.

This old Taoist looks compassionate, but he is ruthless when it comes to killing people.
