A broken arm shot up into the sky.
Lu Tianjiao’s face turned pale, and he took two steps back, covering his broken arm.
The next moment, the spirit sword was against his throat.
Regardless of the risk of being pierced by the spirit sword, Lu Tianjiao looked up at Jiang Zhige and said with a miserable smile: "Suppress your cultivation and break through the spirit realm in battle. You are the one who plays the pig and eats the tiger."
It turned out that Jiang Zhige had already reached the Blood Training Realm, and at this moment he broke through to the Spiritual Martial Realm on the battlefield. With the help of the spiritual power of heaven and earth absorbed after the breakthrough, he performed the second move of the Cangmang Sword Technique in one fell swoop.
When they were in Tianyun Pavilion and the two were sparring, Lu Tianjiao thought he was letting Jiang Zhige win, but he didn't expect that Jiang Zhige was also letting him win.
Jiang Zhige's cultivation in the Lianzang realm is comparable to that of an ordinary early Lingwu. Now that he has broken through the Lingwu realm and displayed the power of the second move of the Cangmang Sword Art, not to mention that Lu Tianjiao has no time to react, even if he was prepared in advance, he may not be able to withstand it.
"Don't you understand the principle of showing three points to the enemy and keeping seven points for yourself when you go out?"
Jiang Zhige had a cold expression, as if he was about to pierce Lu Tianjiao's throat at the next moment.
Lu Tianjiao didn't say much, he lowered his head and prepared to face death.
But after he waited for a while, Jiang Zhige suddenly took back the magic sword.
"You, you won't kill me?"
Lu Tianjiao looked up at Jiang Zhige, his face full of disbelief.
Jiang Zhige took back the spirit sword and said helplessly: "You'd better save your energy. Pursuing Rou'er is not something you can accomplish by killing me."
If he killed Lu Tianjiao, wouldn't he become a fool like Lu Tianjiao?
Besides, Lu Tianjiao had never been determined to kill Jiang Zhige from the beginning. Otherwise, with his cultivation in the late Lingwu realm, even a peak Lingwu realm cultivator would definitely survive the sneak attack, not to mention Jiang Zhige who was in the Body Refining stage.
After the two men fought, Lu Tianjiao let Jiang Zhige win several times. Otherwise, before Jiang Zhige broke through the Lingwu realm, Lu Tianjiao could have just used a martial art to blast Jiang Zhige into pieces.
"If you don't kill me today, aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you later?"
"You won't, I know you."
Jiang Zhige shook his head. He knew very well that Lu Tianjiao was just impulsive today.
"You're probably the only one who would say something like that to someone who just wanted to kill you."
Lu Tianjiao smiled bitterly and did not seek death again. He took out the spiritual talisman and called the crane not far away.
Jiang Zhige raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, and asked in confusion: "You are not going to the tomb?"
"You've already cut off one of my hands, what else can you do?"
Lu Tianjiao pulled the corner of his mouth. How should he explain the broken arm when he went to the tomb to see Nangong Rou? This place is located outside the Baihai Mountain. There is no monster that can cut off the arm of a late-stage spiritual warrior.
The crane didn't fly far. While the two were talking, another crane slowly flew over.
Lu Tianjiao did not leave in a hurry. He turned around and looked at Jiang Zhige who was still watching him quietly.
Lu Tianjiao looked guilty and said weakly: "By the way, Brother Jiang, can you please not tell Junior Sister Nangong about this?"
At this moment, he knew that he would never have the chance to pursue Nangong Rou again.
It was not because of the consequences of the failed assassination of Jiang Zhige, but because if he failed to kill Jiang Zhige, he would not have been able to win Nangong Rou's heart.
Even so, Lu Tianjiao still didn't want Nangong Rou to be disappointed in him. At least when they met in the future, Nangong Rou would not look at him with hatred.
"Don't worry, I won't tell tales."
Jiang Zhige sighed inwardly. He could see that Lu Tianjiao was planning to give up pursuing Nangong Rou.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang."
Lu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen when Nangong Rou found out that he had tried to kill Jiang Zhige.
"etc."
Just as Lu Tianjiao was about to leave on the crane, Jiang Zhige suddenly called him.
Lu Tianjiao turned his head and saw Jiang Zhige picking up his broken arm and walking towards him quickly.
"Go back to Elder Danfeng. With your status in the sect, they should be able to reattach your broken arm for you."
Tianyun Pavilion can reconnect the severed arm, but it will cost a certain amount of money.
Lu Tianjiao looked melancholy and sighed, "Forget it, just take this as a lesson for me. From now on, I will just focus on practicing the one-armed sword technique."
In Tianyun Pavilion, one-handed sword skills are not uncommon.
"Don't you think the lesson is too great?"
Jiang Zhige frowned. With Lu Tianjiao's talent, he could indeed practice one-handed swordsmanship again, but it would waste several years.
Besides, without a hand, many things would be inconvenient.
Lu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "Brother Jiang, you are so good to me, does Junior Sister Nangong know?"
"Lü Tianjiao! You are a true disciple of the sect. Have you ever thought about the consequences of having your arm cut off?"
Jiang Zhige looked serious. He was not in the mood to joke with Lu Tianjiao.
Lu Tianjiao was stunned again, not knowing what to say.
He was silent for a long time, and his eyes unconsciously became red.
"Brother Jiang, from now on, will we still be brothers?"
Lu Tianjiao lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
He had been pretending to be calm, but in fact he regretted killing Jiang Zhige from beginning to end.
Seeing Jiang Zhige's serious expression at this moment, the guilt was magnified countless times.
For the sake of Nangong Rou, he was willing to kill Jiang Zhige, but Jiang Zhige not only did not kill him, but was also worried about his broken arm.
With such a close relationship, how could Lu Tianjiao continue to be so close to Jiang Zhige?
Jiang Zhige didn't say too many sensational words, just nodded.
"certainly."
"Wow? First it was Fairy Ning, and now the Demon Emperor doesn't even let men go?"
"Take your Long Yang Zhi and get out of here. The Demon Emperor values brotherhood."
"It's strange, the Demon Emperor is such a sentimental person, why did his temperament change drastically after becoming the emperor and become bloodthirsty?"
At this time, not only Nangong Rou, but everyone else in the palace began to doubt whether the rumors about Jiang Zhige becoming emperor were true.
But like Nangong Rou, they also felt that although it was hard to believe, many people had witnessed the atrocities committed by the Demon Emperor.
After saying goodbye to Lu Tianjiao, Jiang Zhige walked down the stairs into the tomb.
The first thing that caught my eye was a long corridor that seemed to have no end, with candles hanging on both sides for lighting. I guess they were lit by Brother Lu Tianjiao in advance.
Jiang Zhige walked for a while and did not find any danger, nor did he see the rumored traps and formations.
It seems that it is just as Lu Tianjiao said, there is no danger in the tomb, and they are just here to play.
“Hopefully I can find something useful.”
Nangong Rou was in the mood to visit the tomb, but Jiang Zhige was not. If they didn't find anything valuable, it would be a wasted trip.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, the corridor was still brightly lit, and Nangong Rou and her group had obviously walked deeper into the corridor.
At the same time, wooden doors began to appear on both sides of the corridor.
