Chapter 400: Breathing into the Wind, Martial Arts Astrology

Cao Guishan's identity was obviously extraordinary. At his command, more than a dozen men in black immediately swung their long knives and slashed at Zhou Heng.

These men in black were well-trained masters with superb knife skills. While attacking, they also cooperated with each other to block all the directions of Zhou Heng's movements and wanted to kill him directly.

Li Chengyu's family couldn't help but close their eyes when they saw this scene, and couldn't bear to watch.

In their opinion, Zhou Heng was really just a person who happened to pass by. He was still on the road on such a rainy night. It must be something very important.

It's a pity that he was caught in the crossfire.

Zhou Heng stood in place, without any intention of dodging, and quietly watched these dozen men in black holding knives and slashing at him.

"Even if you have extraordinary martial arts, facing such a siege, you will definitely die." Cao Guishan sneered, and he was very confident in the strength of his men.

But when these dozen men in black approached Zhou Heng within three feet, Zhou Heng suddenly took a light breath and then exhaled.

Boom!

This breath seemed to blow up the void, making a deafening sound.

The air exhaled from Zhou Heng's mouth turned directly into a strong wind, rolling up the rain all over the sky, and wrapped the dozen men in black and flew into the sky.

In an instant, the world was silent, and even the heavy rain stopped falling.

Bang!

Then, there was an explosion in the air, the strong wind dissipated, and the rain fell again, with a faint smell of blood.

The dozen men in black had disappeared.

Zhou Heng still stood there, smiling, looking at Cao Guishan with a playful look, and chuckled: "What did you want to do just now, kill me?"

Silence, incomparable silence.

Cao Guishan stared at Zhou Heng in amazement, smelling the blood in the rain. He had already understood what had happened just now, and a look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Breathing into the wind! Martial Saint! You, you are actually a Martial Saint?! No, even a Martial Saint doesn't have such a physique!" His body trembled, and he shouted in horror, and at the same time ran away, trying to escape into the dense forest.

"Escape now?" Zhou Heng shook his head, raised his right hand and flicked his finger, and suddenly there was a burst of empty sound, forming an invisible wind blade, which cut Cao Guishan's neck from a distance.

A big head flew into the sky, and blood gushed out from the broken neck of Cao Guishan, but his body still maintained inertia and ran forward for a distance before falling down with a bang.

Cao Guishan's head rolled down and landed right next to Li Chengyu's family.

At this time, the family was completely confused, staring at Zhou Heng blankly, constantly asking themselves if they saw an illusion, if they encountered a fantasy before death, and they didn't even notice Cao Guishan's head next to them.

After a long time, Li Chengyu's family came back to their senses and completely understood what had happened.

I was saved!

A martial saint-level warrior who claimed to be a passerby saved my family?

Several thoughts flashed through Li Chengyu's mind.

He tried to stand up and thank him.

However, he had already exhausted himself in the previous escape. Now, let alone standing up to thank him, even moving his fingers was difficult to do, and even opening his mouth to speak was extremely difficult.

At this time, Li Chengyu also realized that he might not live long.

"Thank you very much, benefactor." Li Chengyu opened his mouth with all his strength and lay on the ground to thank Zhou Heng.

"Thank you very much, benefactor." The young woman's condition was obviously better. She had stood up, bowed and thanked Zhou Heng.

"Thank you, benefactor brother!" The little girl Ning An also thanked him.

Then, the two of them tried to help Li Chengyu up.

But Li Chengyu shook his head, indicating that the two did not need to do so. He looked at Zhou Heng, his face suddenly turned ruddy, and said: "Well, benefactor, we are in a situation where we must die today. Thanks to your help, my wife and daughter can save their lives.

"I, I should not live long, but, can you ask benefactor to do me another favor, as long as you agree, I, I will give you all the treasures I have accumulated throughout my life, as long as you escort them to..."

"Father!" The little girl Ning An burst into tears when she heard it, "No, father, don't say that!"

"Husband..." The young woman also burst into tears, with a miserable expression. She could sense the physical condition of her husband, and she was afraid that he would not survive tonight.

"..." Zhou Heng raised his hand and pressed his temple, shook his head gently, and smiled: "You should escort them there yourself, I don't have the time. "

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Chengyu, and a bright green light like a star flew out from his fingertips and landed in Li Chengyu's body.

"What, what is this?!"

Li Chengyu's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this, as if he had seen something incredible, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

There was shock, joy, doubt...all kinds of expressions mixed together, making his facial muscles hesitate.

"Star, astrology?!" The young woman was also stunned, staring blankly at the light covering her husband.

"It's amazing!" Ning An's eyes lit up.

She found that under the cover of this green light, her father, who was originally covered with scars, quickly recovered, and his ruddy face, like a last burst of light, gradually became normal.

After a while, the green light faded away, and Li Chengyu was extremely shocked to find that he had recovered to a completely unharmed state, with full physical strength and vigorous spirit, without any trace of the original exhausted appearance.

"Now there are still people who can use this kind of star art, and can make me, a dying person, completely recover!" Li Chengyu was shocked. He looked at Zhou Heng and said uncertainly: "You, which star lord are you?"

Since the arrival of the demon star three years ago, the star realm has become abnormal. Star officials of the ninth to fourth ranks can no longer let the power of the star realm descend, and can no longer directly mobilize the star power. Their strength has plummeted. Even the star lords of the upper third rank have greatly reduced their strength, and the power of the star art is far less than before.

In Li Chengyu's opinion, the star art treatment effect just now is so powerful that even when the star realm was normal before, it was not something that ordinary star officials could perform. At least it had to be a high-ranking star official of the fifth or fourth rank.

Now the star realm is abnormal, and it is more difficult to perform this level of star arts. This young man performed it very easily just now. Only the Star Lord can do it.

When Li Chengyu thought of this, he was immediately shocked by his own guess.

The "passerby" in front of him was clearly only eighteen or nineteen years old, and was still a teenager. How could he be a Star Lord of the upper third rank!

I have never heard of such a young Star Lord in the world.

But if it is not a Star Lord, who else could it be?

Warriors do not have such magical means.

For a moment, Li Chengyu fell into confusion.

"Star Lord?" Zhou Heng whispered, and then said: "Leave this forest first and go to a place to shelter from the rain. I have something to ask you."

...

Due to the limited information about this world, Zhou Heng did not have many choices when he descended through the star gate.

He could only choose the general terrain.

For example, mountains, rivers, basins, plateaus, etc., at most, there were some restrictions without traces of forbidden formations, and the descent was very random.

So, Zhou Heng descended into a forest.

After descending, he did not rush out, but first found a cave, quietly comprehended the natural laws of this world, and followed the five virtues.

Three days later, Zhou Heng's strength had recovered by 70%.

Because the recovery of strength also triggered the changes in the qi of heaven and earth, it rained heavily in the entire mountain.

Zhou Heng, who had recovered a lot of strength, was in a good mood. He planned to go out to hunt wild game for a meal, and go out of the mountain early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation in this world, but he did not expect to meet Li Chengyu's family who were being hunted.

In fact, when Li Chengyu fell to the ground, Zhou Heng had already arrived there, but he did not come out, because he was not sure whether Li Chengyu was good or bad.

Then Cao Guishan and others came, and he decided to come out.

On the one hand, Li Chengyu looked like the persecuted party, and Ning An was also quite cute and worth saving.

On the other hand, it was because he learned from Cao Guishan that Li Chengyu might be a prince, which meant that Li Chengyu should know a lot of information about this world, which was exactly what he lacked.

So Zhou Heng brought Li Chengyu's family to the cave where he lived before recovering his strength, and asked them about the general situation of this world.

Although he had made a rough guess about the cultivation path of this world when he used the Dharma phase to sense the natural laws of this world, he had to ask someone to be truly sure.

Li Chengyu was very grateful to Zhou Heng, his lifesaver. He almost told Zhou Heng everything he knew about his inquiries, and let Zhou Heng know a lot of things.

First of all, Li Chengyu's identity.

He was a prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, with many achievements. He was also a fourth-rank star official of the Star Palace. He was powerful. Now he was framed by the prince and could only flee with his wife and daughter.

In addition, there are two cultivation paths in this world, one is martial arts and the other is astrology.

The martial arts is to cultivate the power of the human body, to make it stronger and faster, in order to achieve a strength beyond the ordinary. This is also the path of cultivation that exists in most worlds.

However, due to the restrictions of the rules of this world, the interference of spiritual power on reality is extremely small, which has created a situation-

Even if the warrior has cultivated to the limit of the normal human body and nourished enough spiritual power, he cannot open the boundary of the human body, and cannot build a bridge between heaven and earth to establish natural laws.

In other words, the limit of the human body in this world is equivalent to the level of the seventh-grade warrior in Da Qi.

Of course, the long-term inheritance has also allowed warriors to find some ways out, so there are various sects such as Buddhism and Taoism. These sects master this secret method and can break through the limit of the human body and reach the realm of martial saints.

But even if it is a martial saint, it is not that powerful. It is just that the blood and body are more powerful. It cannot control the power of heaven and earth. It is still a mortal in essence.

If only the martial arts are discussed, the level of this world is not strong.

But in addition to the martial arts, there is another path in this world, that is the astrology.

According to Li Chengyu, astrology originated from the ancient barbaric era.

The ancestors worshipped the heaven and earth and received the favor of the stars, and received the attention of 36 Tiangang star gods, 72 Disha star gods, a total of 108 star gods.

As long as the sacrifice is proper and recognized by the star gods, one can communicate with the star world to obtain star power, break through the boundaries of mortals, and possess incredible power.

Today, astrology has been quite perfected.

As long as one has first attained martial arts, one can perform rituals according to the guidance of the star palace. As long as the ritual is successful and one is blessed by a certain star god, one will have strength that far exceeds that of ordinary warriors.

However, the conditions for holding sacrificial ceremonies are harsh and the materials are very precious. In addition to the homes of the powerful, only some wealthy families can hold them.

Since this kind of sacrificial ceremony is not guaranteed to succeed, there is a chance of failure, and there is only one chance. Once it fails, it cannot be repeated, which makes the number of star officials not large.

Possessing overwhelming power, being small in number, and generally noble in status, such a group would often become a privileged class, and a star palace above the emperors of the dynasty would appear.

The Star Palace sets the grades for practitioners of astrology, which are divided into nine grades to one grade from low to high. Among them, the third grade, the second grade, and the first grade are called Star Lords, and those below them are called Star Officials.

A seventh-grade star officer can defeat the Martial Saint at the top of the martial arts. At the level of a sixth-grade star officer, he can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, enter and exit the Qingming, and even interweave the authority of the star god at higher places, just like the star god coming to the world. Generally, it has vast power.

However, all this changed three years ago.

The red demon star came to the world, the emperor star shifted, and the sky was in chaos. Si Tianjianzheng, the second-grade star king, died violently, and the master of the star palace and three first-grade star kings disappeared.

The star realm has also become abnormal. Star officials below the third level have lost contact with the star realm overnight and can no longer activate star power. Only the few remaining star kings can reluctantly activate star power. To cast some low-level star magic.

But after all, the number of Star Lords was too small and their strength was greatly damaged. Although they suppressed them, other forces did not dare to openly challenge them, but they had already begun to secretly liquidate some Star Lords who did not dare to move before.

Li Chengyu is also one of them.

"One hundred and eight star gods, thirty-six Tiangang stars, seventy-two evil stars..." Zhou Heng's eyes were solemn. He heard a lot of familiar things in the news revealed by Li Chengyu, "Now that the star palace is declining, before The warriors who were so suppressed that they couldn't lift their heads started to think about it? "

"That's right." Li Chengyu nodded.

"Then have you heard about any powerful warriors who have appeared recently?" Zhou Heng tried to find out about Cheng Jiangjian and Qi Rui. They have been here for a while.

"Some powerful warriors have indeed appeared recently. Most of them are from Taoism or Buddhism. They have unique secret techniques and can barely break through the boundaries of mortals and reach the realm of martial saints."

Li Chengyu was thinking as he spoke, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, "By the way, there is another one, but I don't know if he is a warrior or not. Some time ago, I heard that Xing Gong had found the incarnation of Emperor Gouchen, the head of the stars. , is a young woman.

"This woman not only has superb star skills, but also has many strange secret treasures. The most important thing is that her martial arts skills are extremely high. It is said that even a star king was seriously injured by her martial arts methods."
