Chapter 58: Fear

  Ninety-four thousand one hundred and tenth time!

  Dazed for three days, Zuo Mo once again began his frantic practice of sword moves. The scene in the sea of consciousness had an impact on him that was beyond compare, and he seemed to have a vague understanding, yet couldn't quite grasp it. Three days later, he suddenly woke up with a start, and understood.

  All the epiphanies, are not castles in the air, without a solid foundation, even if you understand it, you can't use it, let alone that Zuo Mo hasn't fully understood it yet. Think about Wei Si Shixiong, who sat cross-legged in front of the waterfall for several months and fought countless battles before he could grasp those basic things. His own talent for sword cultivation is far inferior to that of Wei Si Shixiong, how can it be so easy?

  Finally figured out where the problem lies, suppressing the restless heart. Restarting again and again, tirelessly practicing the sword moves of "Lishui Jian Jue".

  Exhausted to the limit, spiritual energy depleted, he went to the stone chamber to meditate and enter a state of stillness.

  Recover and start again. So back and forth, without interruption in between.

  19,922 times!

  His clothes were tattered and worn out, his whole body was dirty and unkempt, his eye sockets were sunken deep, but those eyes alone, like flames leaping and burning, refused to be extinguished.

  Seven moves, every detail of each move has been pondered by him countless times, he is familiar with it to an unimaginable extent. The ice crystal sword is like a part of his body, and he can control it at will to perform any action. That strand of mind is like a strong spider silk, firmly sticking to the flying sword.

  The ice crystal sword hovered in the air, swaying gently as if a fish wagging its tail against the current. The frequency of the ice crystal sword's oscillation increased rapidly, and around it, circles of transparent ripples appeared in the air.

  Zuo Mo's eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully sensed every minute change on the Ice Crystal Sword.

  Silent and soundless, the ice crystal sword suddenly disappeared on the spot, leaving behind a circle of transparent ripples that floated in mid-air.

  Ding!

  A voice so light it can't be lighter!

  The ice crystal sword was inserted into the stone wall of the mountain valley, leaving only a small hole. After a while, a layer of dense thin ice appeared on the rocks around the small hole.

  The sword's momentum is like water, fleeting and formless.

  Zuo Mo closed his eyes, carefully recalling the entire process. The Ice Crystal sword had actually moved in an arc, just like water flowing down a mountain, and its flow was extremely smooth. This move, "Following the Water", had been practiced to this extent, according to the "Separation of Water Sword Manual", it could already be considered as having achieved some small success. However, Zuo Mo was extremely dissatisfied. If this move contained sword intent, then the previous sword would not have only penetrated three feet into the stone wall.

  There were people in the valley, and Zuomo had a feeling in his heart. During this period, except for practicing sword techniques, he spent all his other time on meditation. In addition to his progress in sword techniques, his cultivation was also making rapid progress!

  "Sister Shi." Zuo Mo saw it was Li Yingfeng and his guard finally relaxed.

  Li Yingfeng saw Zuo Mo's appearance and was startled, then immediately furrowed her brow: "Younger brother, while it's necessary to work hard, if you rush through things, you won't achieve your goals. If you exhaust yourself, wouldn't that be a loss?"

  Zuo Mo: "I'm fine."

  "Here it is." Unable to resist, Li Yingfeng handed over a jade tablet: "When Xia Shijie returns, this is the jade tablet she gave me. It records the scene of Luo Li Shixiong's battle once. When you have time, take a look."

  Zuo Mo was taken aback, and hadn't expected this. He couldn't help but feel curious. Before Wei Sheng had built his foundation, Luo Li had always been the most talented person in their sect. Even Wei Sheng had only been his sword servant. Zuo Mo was very curious about what level he had reached. Seeing the somewhat tired Li Ying Feng, he felt grateful and bowed his head, sincerely saying: "Thank you, Shijie."

  "This is just in time for Shi Yixia's return." Li Yingfeng said: "Shidi must work hard. Not only has Shi Yixia returned, but it is also said that Eldest Shijie will be back soon."

  "Hmm, I will!" Zuo Mo said with a firm expression.

  Li Yingfeng once again exhorted and then left.

  Once inside the valley, Zuo Mo couldn't wait and hastily poured spiritual energy into Yu Ne's jade slip.

  It seemed that the battlefield at the time was an underground mine, and the light was obviously not good, very dark. Zuo Mo furrowed his brow, he didn't know if it was because he had gotten used to the sunlight, but he extremely disliked the oppressive and dim environment of the underground. Suppressing the disgust in his heart, his mind turned rapidly.

  This should be Luo Li Town guarding that underground mine vein.

  Luo Li Shixiong was naturally cold and distant, and his relationships with other fellow disciples were not very harmonious. Guarding the mine was a bitter task, spending long periods underground, lonely and dull, except for Luo Li Shixiong, no one else wanted to go.

  Look carefully at Zuo Mo, for fear of missing a single detail.

  Only to see a group of people, standing off against Luo Li and Shi Xiong.

  "Brothers, anyway we can't eat our fill, whether we live or die is all the same. Rather than starve to death, let's fight it out with him!" someone shouted in a hoarse voice. But his trembling legs clearly revealed the fear in his heart. The others were also shivering all over, but their eyes were bloodshot.

  Zuo Mo suddenly remembered the Xiu slaves he had heard about in the sound of jade. These people should be the Xiu slaves.

  Seeing the eyes of these people, Zuo Mo suddenly thought that when beasts are on the verge of extinction, is it like this?

  "Huang Ze, I promoted you as the leader, and this is how you repay me?" Luo Li said coldly.

  "What's the use of being a leader?" The man who was first laughed miserably and said, "We can't survive, what's the point of having a leader? The crystal stones below are getting fewer and fewer, but the rules haven't changed. One crystal stone is exchanged for just a little food. We keep digging down, and the earth gas erosion gets worse and worse. Last month, we lost ten people. The month before that, we lost thirty people! And this month, not even halfway through, we've already lost thirty-five people!"

  The crowd was stirred up, those trembling bodies stopped trembling, and in their eyes there was no fear, only anger!

  Luo looked at these people indifferently.

  "We're done for anyway! We might as well go out with a bang!" The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he croaked, "We just want to die with some dignity!"

  "Enjoying yourselves?" Luo Li suddenly spoke coldly: "Then I'll give you a thrill!"

  No sooner had the words fallen than, without any warning, a streak of blood appeared on the back of each of their necks, and these excited people were completely unaware.

  Pffft!

  A vast amount of blood foam spurted out from the neck, dozens of blood columns sprayed together, warm and fresh blood splattered all over the top of the cave wall, large patches of deep red, shocking at first sight.

  In the midst of the gushing blood and non-stop cracking sounds, the heads of these cultivators rolled to the feet of their corpses. Dozens of headless corpses stood upright, spewing blood, with their heads intact at their feet, their faces clear, and even their pre-death expressions and wide-open eyes could still be seen. After a moment, these headless corpses finally collapsed one after another.

  "Uh..." Seeing this, Zuo Mo's chest churned with emotion, and he could no longer hold back, squatting on the ground and vomiting violently.

  He never thought he would see such a terrifying and bloody scene one day!

  His whole body tensed up, was this person who didn't care about the lives of others at all, really Luo Li Shixiong? A long time ago, he had heard that Luo Li Shixiong's temper wasn't good, but only now did he realize how big the difference was between his understanding of "bad temper" and reality!

  Shu Nu, are those Shu Nu? But why is there almost no difference between Shu Nu and them?

  This thought only flashed in his mind, Zuo Mo had never considered himself a sympathetic person, and in his opinion, he didn't even have the qualifications to sympathize with others, as he was still struggling at the bottom himself. Now that he had become an inner sect disciple and a spiritual plant husband, he was still just a small fry.

  His gaze was fixed on those corpses, heads and blood splattered everywhere...

  His senior brother's expression was cold and indifferent, and the scene in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary thing in his eyes.

  Left feeling himself in a daze, trembling, uncontrollable fear.

  For two years, he spent his time in Lingtian every day and never thought that one day he would face blood and corpses.

  Will Luo Li cut himself with a sword during the assessment at the gate?

  Or take off one of your arms?

  Zuo Mo's mind was a mess, fear spreading throughout his body like the dark red flames in the sea of consciousness. He was scared...

  Chong Jian Tang was Qin Cheng's usual residence, although he had been away for some time, there were always people taking care of it. The people inside the hall gathered in a circle, bustling with excitement.

  Qin Cheng smiled and said: "We brothers of the same master, it's been a long time since we've gathered together. Today we can gather together, let's have a big celebration!"

  "Let's just have some tea, we don't drink alcohol."

  Xu Yi sat beside a girl in green clothes, delicate and lovely, she was Xu Yixia. She playfully stuck out her tongue: "Second Shixiong is still so weak, no progress at all!"

  For his own junior sister, Xu Yi was quite helpless. Xu Zixia was mischievous and lovely, with a bright personality, and also knew how to please her elders, making her the most favored among all the disciples. Xu Yi could only sigh in frustration whenever he suffered at her hands.

  Luo Liduan sat on one side, drinking tea by himself with a cold expression. Hao Min sat beside him and couldn't help but say: "Everyone's back! If they hadn't come back, those cheap people would have ridden roughshod over us!"

  Hao Min's harsh words made Xu Yi and Xuyi Xia both show a few points of displeasure on their faces.

  "Junior sister, don't talk nonsense. We are fellow disciples of the same school. If the master hears you, you'll be punished again." Qin Cheng scolded. He had always been authoritative, and Hao Min only remained silent after hearing his words.

  However, Qin Cheng's tone changed as he looked around at everyone: "We are all people who know each other's roots and bottoms, we grew up together from childhood, our relationships are like brothers, and we help each other, which is also a matter of course." He continued: "The elders have their own ideas, but we have our own feelings.

  Everyone nodded in agreement. They had grown up together since childhood, and now someone suddenly appeared among them, they naturally didn't want to accept it.

  "Heh heh." Xuyi Xia said with a mischievous grin: "That's right, although Luo Li Shixiong always has a gloomy face, I'll still help you. I gave the jade slip that Shixiong used to kill thirty slaves with one sword to Li Yingfeng last time. It should be in Xiao Jiangshi's hands by now."

  "How can you reveal your senior's sword move!" Hao Min was furious upon hearing this.

  Xu Xi was not afraid of Hao Min at all, and rolled her eyes helplessly: "This is called attacking the heart! That little zombie, a farmer, has never seen such a scene? I was scared to death when I saw it! I think he fainted directly! A seed of fear was planted in his heart, and he...

  Luo Li stood up, his face gloomy, and said in a cold voice: "To deal with a Lingzhi husband, do I need these despicable tricks?"

  Having said that, he turned around and left without looking back.
