A petite woman and a strong man who can withstand thousands of enemies are the easiest to form a picture that can be praised, and it is worth yearning and longing for at any time. But compared to their eternal beauty in that moment, the battle that has not yet ended on the other side is much more cruel, and even life-threatening.

Xia Xiao couldn't sense his own vitality at the moment, as if his vitality tree had been blocked by some force. This mysterious power made him a little uncomfortable. The first reaction of a cultivator becoming an ordinary person was to become dull, with his body no longer light, and his reactions and movements becoming slower. He looked like an old man, and also like a waste. However, Xia Xiao had already mastered a lot of kung fu before becoming a cultivator, so he slowly stood up after blocking a wave of air and pulled up Ah Zhu beside him.

I don't know what happened in the distance. If the air wave doesn't disperse, I can't see it at all. This is the vision of ordinary people. Xia Xiao was very focused. I don't know if Fu Qing can keep them, but I didn't forget to take off my coat and put it on Ah Zhu's chest. It's okay for me to see it, but I can't let others take advantage of it.

Ah Zhu stood beside Xia Xiao, feeling inexplicably moved. She turned her head to look at this calm man. Even in danger, his first reaction was to protect herself. She really felt like she had found him and would never lose him again. That feeling made Ah Zhu's heart extremely warm, as if she had found the protector she had always dreamed of. So no matter what she did in the future, she would stay by Xia Xiao's side and never leave him.

Chi? **'s strong upper body muscles were clearly visible, and he felt a little cold in the cold wind, but he just looked ahead and pulled Ah Zhu forward. In the past, he habitually held Ah Zhu's wrist, and holding hands directly seemed a bit frivolous, but this time he hooked Ah Zhu's fingers, very intimately, and walked into the heavy dust.

In the silent world, everything was gone. The dust that was raised became extremely slow. They floated freely. The two old men from Nan Shang fled in a hurry. Fu Qing was not prepared to chase them, but the poisonous dragon on his arm shot at them and chased them relentlessly. The poisonous dragon was enough to kill them. Fu Qing, who was very confident in it, walked back and said to Xia Xiao and A Zhu:

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will never be able to go to the battlefield again."

Looking at the direction they fled, Xia Xiao was silent for a long time, but the first thing he said was not words of thanks, but a question.

"Why not kill him?"

Outside the Silent World, west of Xiyang City, the two old men fell from the sky before they flew back to the military camp. They were in a mess, rubbing against the ground for thousands of meters, leaving a sticky trail. Anything that was splashed or touched by this sticky trail, whether it was flowers, trees, insects, birds or animals, turned into a wisp of green smoke.

The two old men were covered in sticky venom. The deadly feeling made them dare not act rashly. They could only enter the lowest standard of dormancy at this time. In order to save their lives, they sacrificed some organs of their bodies to carry most of the poison. In fact, they were not weak, but in order to quickly seal Xia Xiao, that little bit of light before, they spent a lot of effort.

When the two streams of light shot out, their lips turned pale. But even if they succeeded, the price was like this, their faces were severely distorted by the poison, and their bodies continued to shrink under it, the speed was not slowing down but accelerating, as if their lifespans were being sucked away, and they aged rapidly, becoming centenarians.

The change in appearance was not important, but the vitality tree in their bodies also withered, and the leaves quickly turned yellow and shook as if they were about to fall to the ground. When the trunk began to dry up, they would become a half-crippled waste, but they were trying to remedy the situation. However, the deeper they tried to remedy the situation in their dormant state, the more they found that the poison was very powerful, and they could hardly tell who it was, and they didn't even have any idea.

There are many powerful people in the world, but they all have their own positions. No one will cross the line that they should manage, otherwise the world would have been in chaos. Just like the academy and the Zou Shou Church at this time, they regarded Xia Xiao as a treasure in their hands, but they still didn't take action when they should not. Why are there so many reasons? Not everything can be done as you wish. There are only a handful of people who can do that in the world. But they are not unlucky, because they did not meet that kind of person. The one they met this time was just an old man who was willing to risk his life for forgiveness.

In their blurred consciousness, the incurable poison reminded them of the poisoned soldiers in the barracks. It seemed that the poison released by Xia Xiao when he burned the food was not caused by him, but by this person. Only a cultivator who could release such a poison could make the many experienced doctors of Nanshang helpless. They wanted to get the antidote from Xia Xiao, but they didn't expect to end up like this before they even talked about it.

With a blurred consciousness, the two old men gradually fell asleep. They wanted to send some news back to Ji Lao, but it became a luxury and difficult to do.

"I have no hatred or grudge against them. Even if I take half of their lives, it is better than killing them."

Fu Qing answered Xia Xiao's question directly. When they looked at each other, some sparks flew, which made Ah Zhu a little worried, but Xia Xiao said:

"From the moment you took action, you and them became enemies. Since you are enemies, why hold back? You will only end up hurting yourself."

"You don't need to preach. The one fighting them now is the Poison Master of Deep Mountain. From now on, I will still be Fu Qing of Medicine King Valley."

"That's why there's no need to show mercy."

"Who knows if you will expose my identity? Don't think you can win me over by saying a few nice words. Even if we are not enemies, we will never be friends. So you still care if I leave a backup plan? If you are really capable, go after them yourself. They will never escape ten miles outside the city."

Xia Xiao shrugged his shoulders. He had no intention of doing that. He didn't even understand what was on him, so how could he have the time to chase after him? Forget it. Besides, Fu Qing was so confident that he couldn't let them go to the battlefield, so he was satisfied. If he killed the strong man in the Qulun realm, he didn't know how much he would have to pay. Nan Shang would definitely have support.

"Do you know what this is?"

Xia Xiao put his palm on his chest and motioned to Fu Qing to look. The latter was about to leave, but stopped.

"The Blood Seal is an extremely ancient sealing technique that can block the transmission of vitality in a practitioner's body. How come you, who have come from such a far distance, don't know about this thing?"

"So what if I don't know? It will be solved soon."

"Then it's up to you."

Xia Xiao heard the disdain in Fu Qing's words and asked:

"What do you mean, you can't solve it?"

"This kind of thing uses the blood of practitioners as a medium, and requires thousands of hand seals to be realized. They may even spend several days of their lives to complete it. How can you decipher it just because you want to? No matter how strong you are, you are not as strong as them."

"How long can it be sealed?"

"Judging from its intensity and your strength, it should take a month."

Xia Xiao hesitated. In this month, Nan Shang would definitely attack. If he could not join the battle, it would not work if he just watched. Before he made a decision, Fu Qing said:

"All the practitioners of Qulun in Daxia are injured. I can't help you heal them by myself. You should just stay quiet for a while!"

He didn't want to be commanded by Xia Xiao, and didn't want to work, so he said that, but the truth was similar. After confirming that everything was fine, Fu Qing waved his hand, and the surrounding space began to change, with violent ripples. They returned to Xiyang City, which was more or less affected by their previous battle, but fortunately, only some houses tilted, and only the yard where his Xia family lived collapsed into ruins.

Seeing the three people appear intact, the soldiers who were standing not far away finally stopped waiting anxiously. Their faces were full of joy, and their shouts were continuous. This was their hope, that they would be fine even in the face of the sudden attack of such a strong man!

Just like what the old man from Nan Shang had thought before, these guys would not consider other factors at all, and their morale would only be boosted because Xia Xiao was fine. The few bloodstains on the corners of the latter's mouth were just proof of his fighting and bravery in their eyes. However, when Si Yi and the ministers stepped forward, Xia Xiao looked at Fu Qing's figure walking towards the dark corner and said:

"Thanks to you for saving my life today, I owe you a favor and will definitely give you a happy ending."

Fu Qing did not believe this useless verbal check. In his eyes, Xia Xiao was not the kind of gentleman who would do what he said. He just walked into the darkness and returned to his room.

The people of Daxia were always busy, while Fuqing only deserved loneliness. Two pots of Daxia wine were very tasty. The guards outside invited him to a banquet many times, but he refused. No one dared to force him. He enjoyed the quiet and leisurely life without being nagged and mocked by the elders. It was the only good thing about leaving Yaowang Valley temporarily.

Amid the excitement, Si Yi once again rewarded Du Lao and Xia Xiao, but temporarily put them in the account, because now there is an extremely important matter to deal with, that is, the issue of food and grass. In the next few days, the army may be hungry, but Xia Xiao has burned a lot of Nan Shang granaries, so they don't have to worry about Nan Shang's attack. And they have a city, no matter how dilapidated this city becomes, it is their shelter.

In their busy lives, Xia Xiao and Azhu were always the ones who took a break. They could do anything, but no tasks were assigned to them. Si Yi believed that they could do their own things well. However, after Xia Xiao and Azhu simply treated their wounds and came to a new room, Xia Xiao looked around and walked out. Azhu was surprised and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"How do two people sleep in one room?"

This was obviously a bad idea from his father and elder brother, but Ah Zhu grabbed him and said wickedly:

"Isn't this how you always sleep?"

"I don't want to sleep on the floor, and I don't want to lie on a chair."

Xia Xiao left, but Azhu stopped him again.

"There's a bed, big enough for both of us."

Seeing Xia Xiao so persistent, Azhu pulled his hand, stomped his feet angrily, and kept saying that he was angry.

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. I'll sell you out and let others count the money."

"I'm very smart, and I also see who it's good for."

Her face turned red for a moment, but Ah Zhu took off her coat, and when Xia Xiao glanced at her and then looked away, she said:

“This is so weird.”

"What's weird? Bigger breasts?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm talking about this seal."

The sudden change of topic made Xia Xiao turn his head again. There was nothing strange about it. The lines were clear and deep, like they were engraved on the flesh, but it didn't hurt or itch, and it had no effect on life. It was just that he couldn't sense the vitality temporarily, nor could he absorb it, so he could only live like an ordinary person. However, Ah Zhu suddenly raised her hand, as if she wanted to show Xia Xiao something rare and precious, but a small ball of light emerged from her warm little hand. That was the real vitality!
