Chapter 271: The sword shines brightly, the fish and dragon are driven by lightning...

Zhu Jingfeng's skeleton posture was no longer as ghostly and human-like as before.

The bones in his body were translucent and well-cultivated, with a faint golden glow appearing on the surface.

"Hey, is this my offspring? What a strange feeling—"

The white skeleton rubbed its chin, sat down on the ground neatly, and laughed like a madman, looking at little Yan Ning hiding in Cheng Hanqiu's arms.

"But why are you holding my offspring?"

The veins on Cheng Hanqiu's head became more pronounced. He almost lifted Xiao Yanning in front of him so that this guy could see clearly—

"This is my cub!"

his!

His!!! My dear!!!

The kind that really has a blood relationship!!!

"Oh, don't get so excited—"

Zhu Jingfeng laughed and hesitated slightly.

"I also feel weird, I always feel like he should call me——"

Zhu Jingfeng couldn't explain where this feeling came from, but Tiandao could probably sense it.

Ghost cultivators are basically independent of all other cultivators, and with the destruction of their human bodies, their luck should have disappeared completely. Therefore, before Tiandao really paid close attention to this place, he did not realize that his son of luck, who had been dead for decades, had become a ghost here.

But one thing is indeed true, if Zhu Jingfeng was still alive, and if Xiao Yan Ning was still brought into this world by Xiao Yang, then the first choice of parent by Tiandao would most likely not be Cheng Hanqiu, who seems difficult to get along with, but Zhu Jingfeng, who laughs and looks outrageous, but is actually tough and reliable.

But things are unpredictable——

The cub poked its head out from its father's arms, its clear black eyes blinking.

Before Cheng Hanqiu pushed him back, he spoke hesitantly, his soft, baby voice sounding particularly penetrating.

"Should I call you—son?"

After all, you see, he has his father's blood, but no one else does. If the person in front of him insists that he is related to him, then it can only be the next generation.

There was a loud thunder in the clouds in the sky.

Cheng Hanqiu looked down at the little guy.

Bai Gu was also stunned and his jaw dropped.

The skeleton's jaw really fell off and rolled to the side with a clatter. Zhu Jingfeng hurriedly went to pick it up.

I'm shocked, what kind of logic is this?

The cub thought carefully with his few attempts, looked at his father, then looked at the bones over there, and finally asked in confusion.

"Could it be that Ningning is Daddy and he——"

What did the lamb and the world consciousness of this world do behind the scenes...?

The lamb sensed something from its sleep, but it had no time to speak.

The world consciousness was already making it dizzy and confused: No!!! I won’t take the blame for this!!!

Cheng Hanqiu reacted and said:……!!!

Zhu Jingfeng's chin fell down again just after he picked it up.

Cheng Hanqiu covered the cub's mouth with his hand.

That’s a good thought. Don’t think about it again next time.

You almost created a miracle in the world of immortal cultivation where men gave birth to children.

Besides, just because he says so, do you believe it?

and--

Cheng Hanqiu looked at Zhu Jingfeng and shivered with a chill. If the Heavenly Dao really dared to play this trick, he would have to use a telescope to pierce the sky.

Zhu Jingfeng over there also felt a chill for a moment, as if he couldn't imagine that Bai Gu, who had been acting so relaxed just now, was a little broken at this moment. He got up, put down what he had just said, and didn't mention it again. The light around him became brighter.

Cheng Hanqiu hesitated for a moment and became even more surprised.

This ghost cultivator not only cultivated his body into bones, but also gained a level of -

Golden light of merit?

A ghost cultivator——what kind of merits did he cultivate???

Is there something wrong with the way of heaven?

Cheng Hanqiu's actions continued.

The talismans had already formed a larger formation as they dispersed, trapping Zhu Jingfeng inside.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Cheng Hanqiu spoke coldly.

This can probably be seen - if there was no influence from Yu Feng, Zhu Jingfeng would continue to stay at Jianfeng safely, and with the addition of Cheng Hanqiu, the two have a strong clash of personalities. One cannot understand people's expressions, and the other tries to overwhelm others with his momentum. If you think about the normal situation, it really feels like a bit of chaos.

"No, no, no, how can this be nonsense?"

Zhu Jingfeng really couldn't understand other people's expressions at all. At this time, his voice was full of laughter and he spoke slowly and calmly.

"This is a matter of great importance to me! If I miss this opportunity to learn from you, I won't know where to vent my resentment. This also involves other things. Although I've been dead for a long time, I'm still the first to do good deeds. I heard that cultivating immortality can make you immortal, so I'm cultivating ghosts, and I also want to go to the legendary fairyland."

Bai Gu raised his hand, and a small flag suddenly appeared in his hand.

The flag had a sinister aura, and it was unknown how much of other people's essence it had absorbed, but it didn't look like a demonic object, because a faint golden light was faintly emerging from the small flag, just like the light of merit on the white bones.

"It's really powerful—besides the spell, there's also a formation, linked together, pressing forward step by step—"

Bai Gu shook his head, and the flag in his hand suddenly flew up. Fire suddenly ignited in the area of ​​his pupils, and suddenly there was a burst of light.

"This flag of mine has also collected the souls of countless bullies, so it can be considered a treasure. With all my merits, I deserve to be more qualified than those cultivators, right?"

Zhu Jingfeng firmly blocked Cheng Hanqiu's steps.

The small flag in his hand suddenly flew high and became the size of a normal flag.

"One more thing—"

He thought.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, why don't you let me come and take a look myself? I'll definitely be able to find something familiar, right? Besides, that nightmare demon is very powerful. It's a bit too much for you, a guy with broken tendons and veins, to think that you can destroy it with just talismans—"

Zhu Jingfeng's flag directly confronted the formation formed by the talisman paper.

Amidst the black air, the light collided, starting from one point and suddenly erupting from the moment of silence, engulfing the bones and Cheng Hanqiu who was holding the cub.

Although Zhu Jingfeng's cultivation was not as good as Cheng Hanqiu's, Cheng Hanqiu's meridians were completely destroyed, and he could only exert 30% to 50% of the power of the talisman paper. In addition, as a ghost cultivator, his methods were bizarre and no one had ever seen them before. It was really difficult to tell who was better for the time being.

Zhu Jingfeng's voice continued.

"Everyone has their own karma. The guys in this town are really ungrateful. There's nothing I can do about it. I've been protecting them for a month, but they're becoming more and more stupid. I think it's better to respect them."

Cheng Hanqiu's consciousness was engulfed.

He could clearly sense that he was trapped in an illusion.

He watched everything in his past pass by him quickly like a kaleidoscope.

He subconsciously lowered his head to look for the cub in his arms.

Not here.

The little one is not here.

Cheng Hanqiu added countless layers of protective shields to Xiao Yan Ning and was not worried at all that the little guy would encounter any accidents. Even if the Nightmare Demon was there, it could not do anything to Xiao Yan Ning, but Cheng Hanqiu was still extremely annoyed.

He hadn't been so irritable for a long time, ever since Yan Ning appeared beside him.

Those days and nights of struggle are like a thorn piercing my heart. It’s not serious, but the pain is inch by inch and cannot be ignored.

Not to mention——

Cheng Hanqiu turned around suddenly, and behind him was a dark shadow.

"Ha ha--"

There was something distorted and sinister about that arrogant smile.

"Why bother? Why bother paying attention to these external things? We've carried out our mission of chivalry and justice, fighting demons and defending the Way, but what's the result? What's the outcome? Aren't our friends gone, not even to dust? Why not just let the world of immortal cultivation bear our wrath? That would be a major change, wouldn't it?"

"Look, now there's no retribution for good and evil. What kind of world is this? What a terrible world! These seven great immortal sects still dare to claim to have ascended to the immortal realm. This needs to change."

Heart, devil.

Cheng Hanqiu cursed softly, and his Nascent Soul stage was also wavering at this moment.

The inner demons he had suppressed were brought out by that bastard.

As the person who knew Cheng Hanqiu best, the black shadow slowly spoke.

"What are you resisting? You've suffered such unfair treatment yourself—do you want our cub, our lovely little Yan Ning, to suffer the same treatment?"

Can't.

Not even a little bit——

Cheng Hanqiu had already made a vow in his heart.

Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would not let Yan Ning suffer any injustice here.

His mood was shaken violently, and even the illusions around him began to waver.

Zhu Jingfeng was in a hurry as he was looking for familiar things in these illusions.

"Oh my god, he was pretending to be dead, pretending to be dead. He almost got broken and shattered. Isn't that guy so scary? That guy has all his meridians destroyed. How did he do that? What a man! I was scared to death! Quick, quick, hurry up and run away after you finish finding the things. You can't just force yourself on him——"

Zhu Jingfeng knew very well that his methods would only be effective temporarily against a truly seasoned cultivator like Cheng Hanqiu when the other party had never seen them before.

This is his only chance.

He had tried to communicate with the cultivators of Xuanyun Sect before, but they were either too hostile to him and would fight him and then escape using secret techniques, or they were so malicious that he had to kill them. He had only possessed this ability for a short time and was not yet familiar with it. He had finally met a few friendly cultivators of Xuanyun Sect, but they didn't have time to ask him anything - while he was still deciding how to proceed, the Nightmare Demon killed all of them.

Well, he worked in vain again.

Zhu Jingfeng's invasion this time was relatively smooth.

He was also a little puzzled. He could only vaguely see most of these illusions. Cheng Hanqiu had a strong character, and he had no way of truly prying into his past.

I just don't know why he was able to enter so easily, as if they were destined to have an intersection.

Zhu Jingfeng shook his head, threw away his messy thoughts, and continued watching.

He saw the young and high-spirited Cheng Hanqiu eliminating the demons and protecting this place, and he saw his companions laughing and playing, dressed in fine clothes and riding horses.

Cheng Hanqiu didn't look like this at that time.

In between, he also saw several images of the cubs, some of which were tragic and tragic.

Zhu Jingfeng became a little serious and speechless, but the scene quickly disappeared. He saw again that more than half of the young men who had laughed and quarreled together and said they would ascend together in the future and re-establish a set of rules were killed or injured. Some of them were contaminated with demonic energy and were held down and dealt with by the people from the sect.

Everything seems like a mirage.

Zhu Jingfeng sighed.

Suddenly, all of them stopped.

He saw clearly the face of the man who attacked Cheng Hanqiu in the end.

Yu Feng——

Yu Feng————

Senior Brother Yu Feng——————

Zhu Jingfeng's body suddenly froze, as if something had been opened, and the memories that had been lost due to death in the past were constantly being pried open.

And finally, among the countless flowing illusions, he saw a face that was somewhat strange but somewhat familiar.

It was unknown how long ago that a simple, dark-skinned young boy, wearing a Taoist robe, embarked on the path to immortality.

Zhu Jingfeng suddenly covered his head.

That's him.

Cheng Hanqiu had seen him once in Xuanyun Sect—had seen him once in the Jianfeng of Xuanyun Sect—

Although it had been a long time and he looked different than then, Zhu Jingfeng still realized that it was him.

Yu Feng——Jianfeng——Xuanyun Sect——Secret Treasure——

"Brother, let's go, the mission is ahead."

"But Senior Brother Yu Feng, should we find out first? Of course, I was lucky to meet you by chance, but I can't always be so lucky. If you lead me to think that I can do it, then my life will be in danger."

…

"Brother?! Why are you swinging your sword at a fellow disciple?!"

"Son of destiny? Why ask so many questions? Now you are nothing more than a ghost killed by my sword, an ant in the book."

Are these what he's looking for?

Zhu Jingfeng finally locked his eyes on Yu Feng. His face was gloomy and uncertain, and he chuckled after a long time.

OK, OK, I found it.

But the next moment.

With a loud bang, all the illusions around were shattered.

Zhu Jingfeng was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot.

"I'll go?"

Isn’t this person very stable in character?

What's going on?

The inner demon has invaded?

He was just using the power of the magic weapon to see some scenes related to him. He didn't do anything else. And the Nightmare Demon couldn't cause trouble right now. It was all thanks to him to suppress it. Why is he so angry?

Zhu Jingfeng hurried to find the location of Cheng Hanqiu's real body.

But suddenly there was thunder and lightning all around him, and he was surrounded and could only dodge in a panic.

And on Cheng Hanqiu's side.

He held the talisman paper, but he couldn't get rid of the inner demon behind him.

The inner demon had been suppressed too severely, and now it was coming with such force that it was not affected by Cheng Hanqiu at all.

The inner demon even has a long sword in his hand.

The mist wrapped around the inner demon gradually dissipated, and the man smiled lightly. It was Cheng Hanqiu with black hair and black eyes, who was full of vigor and vitality in his youth!

"What are you still resisting? You can no longer lift the sword."

The inner demon continued to speak.

"As long as you give up completely and move forward with another path, damaged tendons and veins will no longer be a problem for you. Isn't that also a path?"

"Shut up and get back."

"Think about Telescope, Pei Yu and the others, Ning Ning, and then think about Dan Feng, who was always ostracized by the cultivators. Don't you want to kill the instigator of all this, Yu Feng, with a single sword strike? Master has already gone into deep seclusion. This path of cultivation—it won't work."

Cheng Hanqiu's expression became more and more ferocious.

This is the negative emotion he suppressed in his heart.

It was also something he had really thought about.

That's why it's so hard to resist.

"So—becoming a demon cultivator is just sacrificing a few bad guys—just absorbing a little bit of those mortals who don't listen to advice. What's the big deal? Can this be more important than Ningning?"

yes……

He can still protect Ningning now, but what about in the future——

His cultivation stagnated, and before Ningning grew up—

How long can he protect?

Ningning has been targeted by Yu Feng.

His life span is short—

That little one, who was afraid of the dark and ghosts, looked so pitiful. He would always cling to his soft couch in the middle of the night, calling him daddy softly, asking to sleep with him and asking him to work hard and find a panacea to cure him.

He always said that he could protect him and support him - how long could he do that?

And - he has always been the daddy who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside in the little guy's mouth.

He still has a lot to say to Ningning.

He didn't dare say it.

Ningning was already dependent on him enough. No, it should be said that he was already dependent on Ningning enough.

He was afraid that if he said something, there would be no way to deny it.

His cowardice since then has been laughable.

He didn't dare to say it - Ningning was the best child he thought.

He was once extremely grateful to heaven.

"so--"

so.

"Give up that boring righteous path."

Give up——

The whole world began to turn again, heading towards a direction where it would eventually crash, without looking back.

The way of heaven is screaming in the sky.

The cub who was most afraid of pain had already cut his wrists.

“Daddy!!”

The tender baby voice suddenly exploded in my ears.

The smell of blood and the sound suddenly woke Cheng Hanqiu up.

The inner demon gnashed his teeth instantly.

Cheng Hanqiu heard the cub's anxious voice and seemed a little choked up.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Daddy is fine - Ningning's blood, Ningning's blood is very useful - Daddy, Ningning has never dared to say it - Daddy - Daddy, look at Ningning, Ningning is so scared."

Monk—cannot be afraid.

But his cubs are still very small.

He is such an incompetent parent.

Cheng Hanqiu suddenly struggled, and the telescope was ready to move in the spiritual sword space.

The completely broken tendons and veins were in severe pain at this moment. The spiritual power was cutting Cheng Hanqiu's blood vessels inch by inch, and forcibly flowing through the unconnected tendons and veins.

The vibration of the telescope caused the black energy to surge.

At this moment, at the entrance of the town, Wu Yi and Zhan Tianyu, who had already blocked the townspeople, subconsciously looked at the ox cart they were transporting, which was also shaking.

Suddenly, a golden light shot up into the sky and flew directly into the black air.

The next moment, the sky seemed to darken a little.

"ah--"

Most people in Changgu Town haven't figured out what's going on yet.

But suddenly someone screamed.

"Xiao Meng?! Xiao Meng, what are you doing?!"

The young man who had been trying to prove that Changshengmen still existed in the crowd, or at least that the ancestor of Changshengmen still existed, suddenly twisted his body and bit the neck of the person next to him. His long and thin tongue stretched out and instantly rushed out from the top of the head of the person he bit, with bone marrow flying everywhere, but he licked it with a twisted and satisfied look.

"I originally wanted to quickly get you to transport these damn things out, and then eat you guys to replenish my energy. I thought the plan was going to fail, but I didn't expect that - those guys' golden cores actually flew away by themselves, hahahaha -"

The man laughed wildly, and gradually transformed from an ordinary young man into a demon cultivator.

"How despicable! A group of people destroyed half of my body, turning it into ashes, forcing me to recuperate for decades. After they all died without leaving a trace, Jindan still kept his promise and came to protect this broken village. But now, I don't think anyone can protect you!"

The demon cultivator turned and pounced on Wu Yi.

"Monk, great tonic."

In his eyes, Wu Yi was just a weak alchemy practitioner and was not to be feared.

Then - Wu Yi raised her alchemy furnace and smashed it fiercely on the opponent's head, causing the opponent to shake twice and retreat suddenly.

what is this???

Isn't this guy a Dan Xiu???

"Mayor, get out of here!"

Zhan Tianyu spoke quickly, gritting his teeth and looking at the time. His master was delayed and the reinforcements he had called for had not arrived yet. He could only keep searching for useful things in his storage bag.

Let the nightmare demon's plan fail.

"This breath—and that breath over there—"

The Nightmare Demon struggled for a moment, and it was indeed a bit tricky for a while.

"Who is your master?! Who is your master?!"

"You are not worthy to know our Master's name!!"

Wu Yi shouted sternly, and smashed the alchemy furnace in his hand towards the other party again.

"Swish, swish, swish—I know it even without you telling me—it's Cheng Hanqiu, right? The only one who can still offer protection here, who is still willing to come here, who is still alive, is Cheng Hanqiu."

The residents of the town fled in panic. Of course, some people heard the name and gradually remembered the legends of the past.

At this moment, the inner demon was shaking, and he had already given up. Even if it meant losing half of his life, he had to piece together some of his tendons and veins. Cheng Hanqiu, who had escaped from this predicament, watched the golden light fall in front of him. Familiar figures dragged the inner demon and devoured his dark thoughts.

"Brother Cheng—don't forget what you mean by immortal."

"Brother Cheng, you said it all those years ago. You are you, and others are others. What others think, see, and do will not affect your path!"

Using Xiao Yanning's blood as bait and Cheng Hanqiu's power to rebel again as inducement, these powers that had been dormant here for decades and protected the peace of this land were activated.

That was their purest power back then. There was even the golden elixir power of cultivators who had different cultivation levels, practiced unorthodox methods, were judged as demonic cultivators, and were finally successfully plotted against and completely fell into the path of evil.

They pushed Cheng Hanqiu hard from behind.

They have always been ashamed of wielding a knife against the weaker ones, no matter how justifiable the act is.

No matter how nice some demons sound, they are still man-eating demons, and what they have attained is not the original Tao.

Those powers merged into Cheng Hanqiu's body, and the remaining vitality barely connected Cheng Hanqiu's broken tendons and veins. The telescope was already making a clanging sound.

Cheng Hanqiu suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to hug the cub.

Zhu Jingfeng was thrown out in a panic, feeling confused and at a loss.

"Oh my god, brother, you are so scary."

The next moment, Cheng Hanqiu disappeared from the spot, holding the cub in his arms and holding a sword in his hand. The state that had been stuck for a long time began to move slowly.

At the entrance of Changgu Town.

Some townspeople saw the two men in such a mess, so they returned, took the few weapons they had at home, hid aside and threw them at the nightmare demon.

"I know this name. My deceased grandmother said this man saved her life—"

"Hase Town has spent a lot of money and has disbelieved many things, but like the mayor said, we must not forget our roots."

But this was simply a joke attack. Most of the time, these mortals couldn't even see where the Nightmare was, and they might be used as food by the Nightmare.

Zhan Tianyu blocked the attack and threw several people away from the Nightmare Demon's men, shouting: "Get away, don't come over here!"

Then I heard that creepy voice behind me.

Wu Yi's shout was too far away, and he couldn't hear what the other person was shouting for a moment.

It’s fatal - my back can’t be protected anymore.

Zhan Tianyu, who was already covered in wounds, gritted his teeth - was he going to die here?

To protect a few annoying mortals...?

In a trance, he seemed to see his mother who had passed away long ago.

Ah, that actually works.

Apart from his mother, he had nothing to worry about.

He never dared to say it, fearing that his mother could really hear it and would not be at peace even as a ghost.

But can I say it now? He's not doing well. His father, who promised to treat him well, is not treating him well... No one...

"You little bastard."

He seemed to hear a sound.

Is that my mother's voice?

No, not at all!

He was suddenly grabbed and thrown away. The Nightmare Demon screamed miserably, and the light and shadows before his eyes blurred into a blur.

The spear and sword shone with starlight, and the fish and dragon were driven by lightning! ① The sword shadow and lightning flashed, which had not been seen for decades. The long-forgotten sharp blade that eliminated countless man-eating monsters, the telescope, was clanging!

The man was holding something gently in his arms. Amidst the flashes of lightning and splattering blood, he raised his eyes disdainfully.
