Chapter 187
Moreover, he was just careless just now.
The Immortal Sect had never taken ordinary warriors seriously, and Elder Qingzhuo was no exception.
That was why he was suddenly attacked by two weaklings and injured in his foundation.
Thinking of this, Elder Qingzhuo felt relieved.
"Can a grain of rice shine?" He shifted his sight from Qiao Mu's body to the old soldiers such as Hai Duwei, and made a spell with his hand. His Taoist robe moved again without wind, and the wind and clouds in the sky also changed color.
But just as he was about to use the spell in his hand, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and hurriedly turned into a rainbow and flew up.
But he saw a blood-colored blazing sword light cut through the air and barely flew past his body, followed by a thunderous roar.
"Old villain, are you bullying my Qiao family because there is no one there?"
"The formation has been broken, there is no longer any barrier between Jiuzhou and this desert, can you kill all of our Qiao family members?"
The one who spoke was an old man who was as old as Qiao Rusen before. His face was full of wrinkles and his hair was white like frost, but his posture was as straight as a gun, and blood-colored energy was lingering around him. In his hand, he had actually picked up the stone sword that the exiled immortal had transformed into again.

..
Information streams emerged in my mind, and the biggest change was naturally the Slash the Sky and Draw the Sword Technique, which jumped from the previous "proficiency" to great success.
Qiao Mu didn't have time to read the rest of the information. He just vaguely felt that the Ouroboros chain in his mind had once again made a clear shattering sound, and the second chain was also broken.
However, the situation was urgent at this time, and Qiao Mu didn't have the time and energy to investigate it. He just concentrated on trying to communicate with the stone sword in his hand.
After a long time, he heard a discontinuous voice from the stone sword.
"Can you see the Nine Provinces outside... Hehe." Jian Zexian's voice was weak:
"Old brother, take me to see the imperial capital in thirty years..."
Jian Zexian seemed to be unconscious, and he didn't realize that Qiao Mu in front of him had changed his identity.
Although the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art is a sword art that uses all your strength and has no return, it is not a suicidal sword art. Otherwise, as the founder of this sword art, Jian Zexian would have died many times.
Trying your best does not mean exhausting your vitality. It's just that the Qiao family is strong-willed. So Qiao Mu died, but Jian Zexian, who guided him to use the sword-cutting technique, did not die.
Although he did not die, his voice was obviously dying, as if he was leaving his last words.
"What about the imperial capital thirty years later?" Qiao Mu held his breath and listened quietly.
He subconsciously thought that Jian Zexian was going to leave his last words, such as the illegitimate son of the imperial capital?
"The Baihua Tower in the imperial capital thirty years later... We don't have the iron rod, but at least we still have the 72 changes we practiced back then, and don't we still have the hilt of the sword..."
Qiao Mu:?
Since this man is still so mean, I think he is just short of breath like before, a little exhausted, not leaving his last words.
Come to think of it.
Qiao Mu felt relieved and stopped talking, and tightened his stone sword again.
Although Taoist Qingzhuo was surprised, he quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and calmed down.
"The Qiao family came quickly. They reappeared just after the formation was broken? But it's useless to have another one...are they here to die?"
"What if they want to die?" Qiao Mu said in a sonorous tone:
"Whatever your heart desires, whatever your way leads to, that's all. Why fear death?"
Elder Qingzhuo just sneered.
The Qiao family elder in front of him was slightly stronger than the previous dead Qiao Rusen, but he would not be taken seriously by Elder Qingzhuo just because of his martial arts skills.
Because he knew that the swordsmanship like Qiao Rusen's just now was the result of two martial arts masters' best efforts, and it was impossible to do it twice...
At this point, a familiar dazzling red sword light suddenly flashed again...
"Heaven-slashing sword art!"
Qiao Mu's blood was boiling. He was over 200 years old and performed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration again. In an instant, he burst out with nearly a thousand years of martial arts skills. At this moment, the mighty internal energy was like a river, and then it bloomed on the stone sword into a dazzling sword light that rushed straight into the sky.
The face of Elder Qingzhuo changed drastically, and his figure turned into a rainbow and flew up in an instant.
This dazzling sword light finally disappeared in mid-air.
Although the sword light looked more powerful and the internal energy was more powerful, it was actually less powerful than the previous sword.
Although Qiao Mu was resurrected from the dead and his skills soared for forty years, the sword exiled immortal had already declined.
"Did he run away?" Qiao Mu let out a long sigh, and the stone sword in his hand drooped weakly and fell on the sand.
He was bleeding all over again, his breath was rapidly weakening, and his vitality was fading, just like Qiao Ruosen just now.
Only this time, Qiao Mu was not injured and only fired one sword, so although his vitality was declining, he still had some breath left.
"After all, it is a pearl of rice. Although it has a moment of brilliance, it is nothing more than that..." After avoiding the sword light just now, Elder Qingzhuo's face looked a little better.
It's just that he finally stopped in mid-air, more than a hundred meters away from the tree, and did not get close to the old warrior who was about to run out of vitality.
No matter how much Elder Qingzhuo underestimated Wu Fu, he could only do three things in the end, and he was already on guard.
Even though Qiao Mu's breath was weakening and he was obviously dying, he was still suspicious and didn't dare to get too close.
I saw Taoist Qingzhuo reaching out and making a move from a distance. The stone sword stuck on the ground was captured by invisible force and turned into a stream of light, falling into the palm of Taoist Qingzhuo.
He glanced at the stone sword in his hand, examined it carefully, frowned suddenly, and glanced at the motionless tree.
"Are you really about to die?" Qingzhuo Taoist muttered in his heart.
Seizing the sword from the air was to test how much strength Qiao Mu still had.
At the same time, it was also to take away the sword and banish it to the immortal.
Taoist Qingzhuo has not forgotten that the purpose of his visit is to banish the immortal with the sword.
After going around in circles, although the sword banished immortal has transformed into a sword, I don't know if it can be saved if he returns to the sect immediately, but in the end it can be regarded as achieving his goal in disguise.
"There is no need to fight with this mortal. I have lived for more than a year, so why should I compete with this mortal who is not even a fraction of my age? Let me heal my wounds first."
Taoist Taoist Qingzhuo transformed into a rainbow and soared into the sky, and finally disappeared into the clouds.
He didn't last-hit the dying tree.
I don't know if he looks down on him or is suspicious in his heart. He suspects that Qiao Mu is cheating his death. Once he gets close, another member of the Qiao family will pop up out of nowhere.
Captain Hai and others drew their swords and were on guard for a long time, but as warriors, even with their bows and crossbows, they could not endanger the Qingzhuo Taoist who had turned into a light and fled away.
He had no choice but to run over quickly and want to treat the dying old man from the Qiao family.
But when they got closer, they found that although the unknown old man from the Qiao family still had his eyes open, he had lost his breath at some point.
"Why is this..." Captain Hai sighed slightly.
Although they have seen the death of several members of the Qiao family, this one was just their first meeting. The two parties were not acquainted, there were no expressions, and they did not even know the name of this old man from the Qiao family...
"If I had the energy to spare, I would go to the battlefield with this clan elder." Qiao Xiaoming covered his head and said softly:
"Captain Hai doesn't need to worry about it. It's all about where your heart is and what your path is."
"Where the heart goes, the way goes... This is the truth that you should practice in your body."
The clairvoyant storyteller recited this family motto that generations of Qiao family members had recited, but he was leisurely and fascinated.
Qingzhuo Taoist said that people in the world spend their lives running for fame and fortune, which is actually not wrong.
When ordinary people do something, they usually have to see if it is beneficial and whether they can make money. If there is a profit to be made, then they need to see how sure they are of success.
But some fools are not like that.
Where the heart goes, the way goes.
If you want to do something, you don't have to worry about whether it will succeed, whether it will be profitable, or whether it will lead to failure or death... As long as you think it is the right thing to do, then do it without hesitation.
"The direction of the heart is where the Tao lies. You can stay away from death, and you will not stop even if you die... Is this the reason why generations of Qiao family members died in the war? What a respectable and admirable person. family..."
The storyteller laments with clairvoyance.
He and the Qiao family are all people from the outside world.
He knew in his heart that the people in this isolated city had no choice, and all their endings would lead to their final death.
All efforts cannot avoid death, the difference is only sooner or later.
But the generations of Qiao family before and after are different.
The clairvoyant knows what is going on in Kyushu outside, and roughly knows what is going on with the Immortal Defeating Army.
The Qiao family is different from the people in this isolated city. The Qiao family has choices. With their strength, even if they are defeated by others, they can still live a prosperous life in this land of Kyushu.
Although they are no match for immortals, this mysterious and powerful martial arts family can completely live alone like the sword-banished immortals. Isn't it also very carefree?
This is also the reason why Captain Hai and others were repeatedly surprised by the deaths of the Qiao family: the Qiao family did not have to die, but they often took the lead and eventually died in battle.
When things happen, don't care about interests, life or death, conspiracies, and whether you will be punished by powerful people or killed by immortals. Put aside all scruples and rules, and follow your own heart.
Is this reckless?
"This is a brave man." The storyteller said with clairvoyance:
"When a common man sees humiliation, he draws his sword and stands up to fight. This is recklessness, or at most it can only be said to be bloody courage."
"But Dayong is not like that."
"There are great brave men in the world who are not surprised when they are attacked without any reason, and are not angry when they are attacked for no reason. The person they hold hostage is very big, and their ambition is far-reaching."
"Having a righteous heart, not caring about gains and losses of fame and fortune, and putting life and death aside, this is great courage."
What the clairvoyant said made Qiao Xiaoming next to him blush.
He can be regarded as Qiao Mu's last thoughts before his death, not an independent will. He only managed to survive temporarily with the help of small pieces of granulation. Now he is waiting for the next tree to come back to life, and then he can use the power of the tree to extend his life.
Qiao Mu actually knew that he was not brave enough.
There is great terror between life and death, so the world's highest evaluation of a warrior is "ignoring life and death."
He was born immortal, but apart from the fact that the clairvoyant said that he "disregards life and death", other things were correct.
He has no regard for life and death, so he can do whatever he wants and there are no taboos in his actions.
"It's a rare pleasure..." He lifted his body and let Old Man Wu control it and put it into the stone city.
This is not the time to relax yet.
The elders of the Immortal Sect have escaped, but that doesn't mean they can be taken lightly.
No one knows whether Elder Qingzhuo will come back again. Even if he doesn't come back next time, who does he think he will be from the Nine Immortal Sects?
Another elder? Another senior member of the Xianmen, or even the headmaster of the Xianmen?
"A hundred miles of desert is gone. The secrets that the Nine Immortal Sects have concealed for forty years can no longer be concealed. The existence of the bald soldiers in the isolated city is about to be exposed." The storyteller looked at the bald soldiers in front of him with clairvoyance and had many thoughts in his heart:
