He wanted to prop up his body, but the Qi and Blood power that he had usually trained to be like an arm and a finger seemed to be sealed deep in the ice at the moment, lying motionless in the Dantian. The three of them were like three fish pressed on a chopping board, lying on the blood-scarred ground and gasping for air, and what was poured into their mouths was full of blood mist and blood scab fragments.
They were still half way away from Blood Demon Fruit Tree, and the pressure of Qi and Blood at this distance was already making all their bones creak.
Qin Tiexin turned around, glanced at the three people lying on the ground, then looked at the direction they fell in, and then looked down at the layers of crushed blood scabs under his feet.
He probably understood that this group of people wanted to rush in and grab him while he was picking fruits, but they rushed too hard and fell directly into the Qi and Blood pressure.
He ignored it and continued to pick off the Blood Demon Fruit on the branches one by one and put them into the jade box. He did not move quickly or slowly, and he also checked around the area to see if there were any missing fruits.
The thirteenth one was put into the box. Qin Tiexin carefully put the jade box into the storage ring. After checking around to make sure nothing was missing, he put Edgeless back on his shoulder and walked back.
When passing by the three people, the strong man walking at the back lifted a bloody hand from the ground and stretched his trembling fingers towards Qin Tiexin's ankle.
His lips were trembling, and he squeezed out a few unclear words from his throat. "Save... save us... please..."
Qin Tiexin kept walking and walked straight past the hand. He continued to walk forward, and after taking a few steps, the strong man suddenly changed his tone. The hand he had just extended suddenly retracted, and his five fingers were bent into claws and clawed hard into the blood scab layer on the ground, making a cracking sound with his knuckles.
"You... do you know who we are? Mountain-Splitting Sect! We are all inner disciple of the Mountain-Splitting Sect!" He spit out the blood scab fragments and dirt in his mouth, and shouted towards Qin Tiexin's back in a hoarse voice.
"Those who know better... leave Blood Demon Fruit behind and get us out! Otherwise... we have junior brothers outside to support us! Our senior brother is also in the secret realm! He won't let you go!"
Qin Tiexin paused in his steps.
The Edgeless on his shoulders shook slightly. He turned around and walked back towards the three people step by step.
The steps were not fast, and there was a sound of cracking blood scabs with each step. When the strong man turned around, he thought that his words just now had an effect, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a bloody arc, and the two people next to him finally had some strength to support their upper bodies and raise their heads.
Qin Tiexin walked to the strong man and stood in front of him, looking down at him. The strong man was shocked by his eyes, and the curve of his mouth froze on his face.
"You like Blood Demon Fruit so much?" Qin Tiexin's voice remained steady, "Help you."
He bent down, clasped the collar of the strong man's neck with his five fingers, and lifted him up from the ground like a chicken. Then, with a sudden swing of his right arm, the strong man drew an arc in mid-air and flew straight towards the deepest part of Blood Forest.
The screams dragged all the way from mid-air to the ground. The strong man slammed the golden skeleton directly below Blood Demon Fruit Tree where it was originally. It was less than three feet away from the fruit tree. It was the most coercive position of Qi and Blood in the entire Blood Forest. The blood-colored mist that had almost condensed into substance around the roots of the tree was violently surging.
The strong man was pinned under the tree and couldn't even scream. He could only squeeze out a few hoarse gasps from deep in his throat.
Qin Tiexin didn't say another word. He walked up to the second monk, also grabbed the back of his neck and lifted it up, and also threw it deep into Blood Forest, cleanly. The monk waved his limbs randomly in the air, and before he could finish his scream, he was cut off by a dull sound of landing.
Qin Tiexin walked behind the third monk. The monk was still crawling back on his hands and feet. Qin Tiexin caught up with him in one step, picked up the last monk and threw him deep into Blood Forest.
The three of them fell neatly below Blood Demon Fruit Tree, and were pinned to the ground by the terrifying Qi and Blood pressure. Their joints creaked under the pressure, and their chests were pressed against the ground, and they had to fight hard every time they breathed. After exerting all his strength, the pores on the surface of the skin began to seep out Blood Bead. This was because the blood in the body was squeezed out by external pressure. The blood spurted from the wound was greedily absorbed by the ground, leaving not even a trace.
Several screams and pleas for mercy soon sounded in the forest, and then they were swallowed up by the thick smell of blood and fell into silence.
Qin Tiexin put Edgeless back on his shoulders, glanced at the three twisted figures lying under the tree in the depths of Blood Forest, turned around, and walked out of the forest.
If the three of them could come out on their own, their fate would be saved.
When Blood Forest walked out, the monk who stayed outside had long disappeared. There were only a few crushed stones and hurried away footprints on the ground. Qin Tiexin did not pursue it and went straight through the last ancient locust forest.
Less than a mile away from Pure Land Chan Temple, you can already faintly see the steps of the Zen temple.
He found a hidden rock crevice, which looked like a pile of ordinary rocks from the outside. He squeezed in sideways, cleaned up the gravel inside, and took out the soundproof array disk and hidden array disk from the storage ring to activate them.
Light cyan formations spread out against the stone wall, sealing off the sounds and spiritual power fluctuations in the cracks of the stone.
After doing this, he took out the Jade Slip that he got from the Jiang Lie skeleton.
When he roughly scanned it earlier, Jade Slip mentioned the whole story of Vast Waves Great War, but he just skimmed over it without taking a closer look. At this moment, he felt calm for a moment, he held Jade Slip in his palm, and Divine Sense slowly penetrated it.
The beginning of Jade Slip is Jiang Lie's self-reported life. Yang Battle Sect Elder, Meridian Unblocking Realm Peak, is only one step away from becoming Indestructible Golden Body. Before the outbreak of Vast Waves Great War thousands of years ago, the young sect leader Yang Battle Sect died in the hands of a monk. As the leader, he led the sect's elite southward, named to eliminate demons and defend the way, in fact to seek revenge.
Then he witnessed what the battle really looked like.
The following is the record written by Jiang Lie before his death.
Pure Land Chan Temple a thousand years ago was not the ruins it is today.
Heavenly South Domain is the holy place in the heart of Buddhist cultivation, where incense is flourishing and the light of Buddha shines. Every morning, monks climb the steps along the bluestone mountain road. The sound of bells comes from the hall on the top of the mountain and echoes in the valley. Rogue Cultivator People who are thousands of miles away know the road up the mountain. Every bluestone on the road is polished by the knees of pilgrims.
One early morning thousands of years ago, a veil of mist enveloped the mountain gate.
The abbot at that time, an old monk with profound virtues, found an abandoned baby boy under the Bodhi Tree outside the temple gate. The baby did not cry or fuss, and had no hair on his head. There were only seven vermilion marks, like natural ring scars. The old abbot picked him up, and the baby opened his eyes and looked at him quietly.
The abbot clasped his hands together and sighed to the monks who came behind him, "Heaven has given birth to his hair, and earth has given him the ordination. This son is a natural disciple of Buddhism."
The baby was accepted as a close disciple of the abbot, with the Buddhist name Chengxin.
