Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 396
At night, the moon is white and the wind is clear.

A faint coolness passed through the forest, and the entire Lingyin Mountain seemed much quieter.

Wei Tao still left the residence at the same time, and walked along the path towards the direction of daily practice.

After crossing a small bamboo forest, he stopped slowly and looked to his side.

A middle-aged man wearing a crown and a green shirt stood quietly by the spring, looking down at the gurgling water.

His clothes looked simple and plain, but he had an ethereal air about him.

Even though he stood there, it seemed as if he was going to ride the wind in the next moment and disappear into the void.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, making sure he had never seen this person in Lingyin Mountain before.

The middle-aged man turned around at this moment, with a flat smile on his face.

"I've heard the name of Elder Su for a long time, but I haven't seen him due to personal reasons. Today, I met him by chance on a moonlit night, and I realized that Elder Su is so young. He is a handsome and tall young man."

Wei Tao couldn't help but startled.

Handsome and tall?

Tall is indeed tall.

After all, he is now more than two meters high, even close to three meters high, standing there like an iron tower, there is really no one taller than him in the entire Lingyin Mountain.

As for the description of handsome.

He raised his hand to touch his golden and jade-like scalp, and quickly accepted the compliment with pleasure.

Wei Tao clasped his hands together, "I don't know what to call this senior brother?"

"My surname is Lin, you can call me Brother Lin."

The man's eyes were as bright as stars, and he took a deep look at him.

"Feng Yu came to me before and said that there is a rare talent in this mountain who can be directly given the position of elder. At that time, I was still a little hesitant. I didn't know what he said was true until I met Junior Brother Su today."

Wei Tao smiled shyly, "My aptitude is blunt, so I don't deserve such a compliment from Senior Brother Lin."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "This is not a compliment, but the fact that Junior Brother Su was able to defeat Mrs. Snake at a young age. If you practice hard in the future, you will definitely become the mainstay of our sect."

After a pause, he continued, "Our practice focuses on accumulation, that is, we must rely on day after day, year after year of hard work, to polish a deeper foundation, so that wind can come fast and water will come naturally.

Therefore, although Junior Brother Su advanced rapidly in the early stage, he must not only draw a quick word in the subsequent practice, it is easy to lose his foundation, and instead he will not reach the height that can be achieved by step-by-step and slow practice. "

"Besides that, I must emphasize that Junior Brother Su is young and vigorous, so he should temper his temper and establish a good relationship with other elders. After all, we are all from the same sect in the mountain, so there should be no more conflicts.

Otherwise, if you continue to develop like this, you will have more and more enemies in Lingyin Mountain. Even if you are the strongest in the future, it may be difficult for you to gain a firm foothold in Lingyin Mountain. "

"Senior Brother Lin, I'm overthinking. I've always been humble and kind. What I like the most is to be alone quietly. I never have the idea of ​​causing trouble, and I don't have any conflicts with other members of the same sect for no reason."

Wei Tao lowered his eyes and showed a gentle smile on his face, "Whoever thinks that I need to correct my bad temper should reflect on myself, why would I come up with such unreasonable thoughts."

The middle-aged man took a deep look at him, and suddenly laughed, "Let's leave it at that. There are some unrests inside and outside recently, Junior Brother Su should also pay attention, don't leave the mountain gate casually, and remember to call the police in case of abnormal situations."

"Also, Shanmen will soon organize people to participate in the Zhengdao League. With Junior Brother Su's level of strength, he should be selected for it. You can make some preparations in advance. If you need anything, go to Junior Brother Feng and ask him to help you. solve."

"Is the righteous way alliance?"

Wei Tao was thoughtful, "It's just what I want, and I can also meet the spell masters of other sects, and what can I learn from."

He watched the middle-aged man go away, and went straight to the inaccessible Lingyin Mountain according to his previous plan.

After a few conversations, Wei Tao roughly guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Whether the opponent is the Lord of Lingyin Mountain or not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain, it doesn't mean much to him.

In Wei Tao's eyes, Lingyin Mountain provided him with what he needed in life and practice, so he reciprocated and contributed some effort to the mountain gate. It is the best way to get along with everyone by maintaining politeness and harmony on weekdays.

As for becoming a new generation of mountain lord and obtaining the inheritance of the spiritual seal talisman, he has no plans for this yet, and he is not going to invest any time and energy on it.

Therefore, anyone who regards him as an imaginary enemy fighting for power and profit will be blinded, and may even lose his life because of it.

In a hidden mountain depression.

Wei Tao leaned down, put one hand in front of him, and curled the other around his waist, making a red line fist that was so familiar to him.

boom!
He stepped forward and punched out.

The red line is practiced with red fists, and lotuses grow under the feet every step of the way.

Arouse the gang wind to howl, the sound is like thunder.

After the cup of tea time, Wei Tao's body style changed, and he stepped round in circles.

From red practice double-lines, step by step to produce lotus, to create something out of nothing, which is extremely prosperous.

In an instant, there was a series of crackling sounds.

Another light mist quickly filled the air.

It quickly filled the entire mountain depression, and it was still gradually spreading towards the surrounding area.

A long snake looming between the virtual and the real is located between the mist and the flowing clouds, and it keeps changing with the Wuji Sanshou.

Wei Tao was completely immersed in his practice.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly withdrew his fist.

With both hands volleying in the air, it brings out afterimages.

There was a sudden ray of light in front of him, and sapphire square seals quietly appeared one after another.

Howling and flying around the whole body, there are hundreds of them in number.

And with the passage of time, the sapphire square seals seemed to be integrated with the faint clouds, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

After a while, Wei Tao restrained all his spiritual energy, and exhaled lightly.

All the sapphire square seals gradually faded at this time, and dispersed silently.

Quietly, the status bar manifested void.

Wei Tao gathered his energy and focused his attention on the Jade Seal Charm.

Name: Jade Seal Charm.

Progress: 220.

Status: breaking the limit of [-]th stage.

Realm: Great spell master.

Description: Mutual verification with Jiwu Liuyun, this skill has been improved by evolution.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to increase the progress of the jade seal spell practice."

A line of golden handwriting appeared in front of his eyes, Wei Tao was silent for a moment, and directly chose yes.

Swish!
The status bar suddenly blurred, and a gold coin disappeared.

The mysterious aura descended silently, and then quickly became surging, covering everything from the true spirit to the flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the cyan light burst out, turning into spiritual power and merging into the body.

Wei Tao held his breath and focused his attention, carefully comprehending the perception.

It can be clearly seen that the Dao Dao talisman lights up, and then melts into the blue light little by little.

And as this process continues, the mental power has also become more cohesive and enhanced than before.

the next period of time.

The gold coins disappeared one by one, and the Jade Seal Charm increased rapidly.

It was not until reaching the limit-breaking [-]th stage that there was no progress, that he finally stopped.

Wei Tao took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

He didn't see any movement on his hands, and without any warning, nearly a hundred sapphire square seals appeared in front of his eyes.

The next moment, he stretched out a finger, just sketched it casually.

In an instant, more than 100 green seals surrounded the whole body.

"This is the highest level of the Jade Seal Charm."

"That's about it."

"If I want to envoy the talisman of Lingyin Mountain, I have to practice the spirit seal amulet on the jade seal to the perfect level, so that I have such a chance."

"Besides, in order to obtain the qualification to practice the root spell of the spiritual seal, you have to go through various so-called tests, which are too troublesome.

With this time and energy, I might as well practice other spells to increase the intensity of distraction. Even a deeper study of the secrets of the Jiwu Teng snake is more attractive than vying for the position of Lingyin Mountain Lord. "

Wei Tao thought silently, a snake's tail stretched out behind him, and the gray and white scales shone faintly in the mist.

The snake head slowly approached, rubbing against his body.

Like a pet that asks for anything and is extremely well-behaved.

He stroked the icy and cool snake scales, looked up at the bright moon and starry night sky, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a while.

Tengshe Xuannian's perception became clearer.

It seems that as long as he is willing, he can take a step forward without any obstacles, and complete the sympathy between heaven and man to become a martial arts master.

Moreover, if he is in harmony with heaven and man here, he will definitely receive greater attention from Tengshe Zhenyi, and his gold content will even be higher than that of the Wuji Grandmaster in Dazhou.

However, Wei Tao was a little hesitant.

I have never made a decision whether to take this step or not.

After all, it is easy to go forward, but difficult to go back.

It's better to be conservative, so as not to have an irreparable impact.

Wei Tao was thinking to himself when he suddenly opened his eyes.

A look of doubt flashed between his brows, and he looked into the dark depths outside the valley.

Under the darkness of the night, a figure shrouded in a gray robe walked quickly, walking through the deep mountains like a ghost.

He seems to be quite familiar with this environment, even in the case of poor sight, he is familiar with the road, just like walking in his own living room.

Not long after, the gray-robed man stopped suddenly.

He hid behind a tree, listening to the sound coming from the mountain wind.

There is also a very light water mist, which quietly rises from the source of the sound.

Snapped!
clap clap clap!
The gray-robed man frowned, and heard the crisp sound of the whip breaking through the air, and it was heard in his ears.

"Forget it, this time I want to determine the location of the spirit seal talisman, there is no need to make extra trouble."

He thought for a while, decided to ignore the strange sound and fog, and turned his head to continue sneaking forward.

But after walking a certain distance.

The gray-robed man stopped again.

He turned his head again and looked towards the thickest part of the fog.

"It always feels like something is not right."

"If you don't investigate clearly, I'm afraid you will miss the important matter of your lord."

"The Lord of Lingyin Mountain has not recovered from his serious injury. As long as I am careful and don't be besieged by those elders, there should be no danger."

After hesitating for a moment, several thoughts flashed in his mind. After all, he turned around and submerged silently into the depths of the mist.

A moment later, the gray-robed man appeared at the entrance of a hidden mountain depression.

He squinted his eyes, and the bright red lines carved on his face slowly stretched out, like flower petals blooming.

"Stealth spell, spirit of nocturnal wandering."

The gray-robed man whispered to himself, strands of spiritual energy began to gather, and all of them fell into the eyes, shining faintly in the dark mist.

After a while, he closed his eyes, with a puzzled expression on his pale, almost transparent face.

"Just now I sensed some kind of strange aura fluctuation, but when Xun Xing came here, it disappeared inexplicably?"

"Could it be that my perception is wrong?"

After thinking for a moment in silence, the gray-robed man clings to the rock wall and slowly walks towards the valley.

Swish!
shhhhhh...

At this moment, if there is a rustling sound that seems to be absent, it suddenly sounds.

The distance is getting closer.

In a blink of an eye, it has come to the side.

But at this time, it disappeared without any sign.

The gray-robed man stopped still, held his breath and listened carefully.

The night wind is gentle, and the white mist is dense.

The surroundings were quiet, only his heartbeat could be clearly heard.

At this moment, he realized that the surroundings had become dead silent.

Even the night wind that had been blowing seemed to disappear without a trace.

this strange feeling...

It seems that there is some unspeakable danger hidden in the thicker and thicker fog.

"This place isn't haunted, is it?"

"Forget it, I'll hurry up and complete the task. Even if there is an abnormal situation, as long as the Lord takes action, there will be no problem that cannot be solved."

The gray-robed man slowly exhaled the stale air that had been suppressed for a long time, then turned around little by little, and was about to leave here as quickly as possible.

As the body turns, the line of sight moves accordingly.

But at the next moment, he suddenly froze.

The hairs all over his body stood on end, and his back was covered with cold sweat, and he almost screamed out loud.

"I'm Gan Linliang, when did this thing run to the back!?"

"Could it be Mrs. Snake, the mother-in-law who came back to life? I was almost so shocked that my heart jumped out."

The gray-robed man stared at the huge snake head that was facing him, almost sticking to his face. With his extremely strong willpower, he didn't make a mad attack without emotional explosion.

He calmed down and let out a sigh of relief.

He began to think about what method to use to kill this lifeless snake without making too much noise.

The gray-robed man took a step back slowly, and silently clenched his hands behind him.

Big snake didn't move, just watched him quietly.

For some reason, he seemed to see scrutiny and curiosity from those vertical pupils.

As if observing him from above.

It was as if he was an animal that had fallen into a hunter's trap.

Suddenly, the ferocious and huge snake head retreated quickly, shrinking back into the dense mist.

The gray-robed man's pupils constricted, and his ears trembled slightly.

"What are you looking for, is this a treasure hunt?"

Quietly, a man's voice came from behind the big snake, full of curiosity.

The gray-robed man concentrated his eyes and looked into the distance.

Finally saw who was speaking.

And the moment he set his eyes on the opponent, even with his state of mind, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

On the surface, it looks like a bald head who is too strong to be described.

but……

Around this bald head, what the hell is that long snake floating in the dark void?

What was even more strange was that he only saw the long snake's head, but did not see its tail at all.

Take a closer look, it looks like a tail growing from behind the strong man opposite! ?

Interesting, really interesting.

Unexpectedly, Lingyin Mountain, which claims to be a decent and famous family, is secretly recruiting evil cultivators like him, which really makes people laugh.

The white mist surged, and the gentle male voice sounded again, reaching the ears of the gray-robed man.

"You are not a disciple of Lingyin Mountain."

"And I was talking to you and I got no answer."

"This impolite behavior has greatly hurt my weak heart."

"So, you have to use your life as compensation."

The gray-robed man was startled for a moment.

What kind of compensation is this person talking about?
Just because he didn't speak, he was going to lose his life?

The gray-robed man turned his head to look at the core area of ​​Lingyin Mountain, but there was a distorted and ferocious smile on his face.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

He sneered silently, and slowly approached.

And as the distance shortened, under the cover of the heavy gray robe, his shoulders, arms, chest, back, feet and legs all lit up like blood-red streaks.

"You think you can scare me with a spell related to snakes?"

"You know, even Mrs. Snake's mother-in-law's soul-snatching spirit python is nothing but a defeat of my subordinates."

The voice fell, and the gray-robed man stepped forward slowly.

boom!
Suddenly the ground shook, and the rocks split open.

A gust of wind suddenly rose, whistling towards Wei Tao.

The gray-robed man violently raised his hand, and in an instant he had already penetrated within five feet.

The scarlet lines all over its body shine brightly, condensing into the shape of a ferocious claw in front of him.

A cross was drawn like lightning, tearing the air and slashing down suddenly.

At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Facing the sharp claws that were about to stab his body, the opposite party still had a calm and indifferent appearance.

Didn't even cast any spells.

Even the big snake that seemed to be puffing out clouds and mist disappeared at this moment, without a trace to be found.

What is this guy thinking?
Facing his sudden attack, which is completely different from other talisman masters, what is this person thinking?
Could it be that he had never seen such a brutal style of close-to-hand combat, so he was frightened?
But it doesn't matter.

Because this guy didn't realize it, and he had already approached him.

It is doomed to face the ending of defeat and death.

The gray-robed man only knew that, five feet away, perhaps the big spell master who specialized in combat could make quick moves, which would make him a little scruples.

But within five zhang, he is the only one who is ruthless and fast.

No matter how powerful the great spellcaster is, he dares to make a bold move and take it away.

Lurking and approaching, violently attacking, fighting bloody close to the body.

This is the biggest difference between him and other talisman masters.

"How dare you get close to me so easily, even gods can't save you!"

A scarlet claw fell like lightning.

The eyes of the man in the gray robe were flickering with almost crazy light, waiting for the intoxicating scene of flying flesh and blood.

Click! ! !

At this moment, a palm like gold and jade rose without warning.

Blocked in the only way of scarlet claws.

There was a snap.

Wei Tao put his five fingers together, gathered them into a whip, and threw it forward suddenly.

In an instant, the air was torn apart and the sound exploded.

Wuji whipped out, and hit the sharp claws that were chopping and tearing head-on.

A thunderbolt suddenly rolled across the mountain depression.

The sharp claw collided with the arm, splashing a large canopy of dazzling fire.

Then, the sharp claw was bounced high.

The two figures collided with each other and confronted each other several times.

Then they all backed away.

The gray-robed man's complexion changed drastically, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

When facing other great spell masters, as long as the distance is close enough, he has great confidence, thinking that he can have the last laugh in close combat.

However, this bald and strong man who looked like an iron tower completely exceeded his expectations.

Whether it was the lackluster collision just now, or the sharp claws that were blown away, everything told him that the opponent's melee combat ability was not inferior to his.

It can even cover him up.

"The spell master in Lingyin Mountain has such a perverted appearance."

"This is a monster..."

"We must fight him back with all our strength, otherwise we don't know what will happen when other people find out the situation and surround him."

The gray-robed man tensed up, staring at Wei Tao who was a few steps away, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

"You are very good."

"It allows me to stretch my muscles and bones a little bit and move my body."

"That's why I didn't cast the spell, for fear of disturbing our confrontation."

Wei Tao tore off the broken jacket, revealing a body like gold and stone.

He turned his neck, making a series of crackling sounds.

A smile of great anticipation appeared on his face, "Then, I will increase my strength next, I hope you will let me use it to my heart's content, and don't be like other spellcasters who turned into a puddle of mud before I really exerted my strength."

boom!
The voice fell, and the thunder suddenly exploded.

Wei Tao tore through the mist, and in an instant, he crossed a distance of several feet and landed with a punch to the head.

"I don't believe that you, a talisman master from Lingyin Mountain, can beat my strongest form in mere melee combat!"

The gray-robed man advanced instead of retreating, folded his hands together, and rushed forward to meet him.

The eyes of the two met, and different thoughts arose in their hearts.

next moment.

A loud bang exploded in the depths of the quiet mountain forest.

A figure suddenly flew backwards.

It knocked down a large area of ​​rocks and trees, rolled and fell directly off the cliff, spilling a large amount of bright red blood along the way.

"This person pursues power and speed, so he engraved the spirit pattern on his body surface, using his body as a trigger to activate the spell, which is a bit interesting."

"It's a pity that it's still not enough. It didn't resist my punch with all my strength."

Wei Tao slowly stood up straight, lowered his head and looked down.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a light flashed in his pupils.

A broken body rose from the bottom of the cliff, with a pair of translucent wings spreading out from behind, and fled towards the distance without looking back.

"He actually ran away."

"It's an insult to me."

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable."

The corners of Wei Tao's eyes and mouth twitched slightly, and he took a step forward without hesitation, chasing the gray-robed man flying high.

Shortly after.

Several figures quickly came to the col.

After carefully observing the remaining battle traces, almost everyone showed expressions of surprise and doubt.

…………

........................

"Vulture, how could you be so seriously injured and weak?"

"It can make you hurt like this. Could it be that you encountered the Lord of Lingyin Mountain when you sneaked in?"

The speaker was a tall and beautiful woman.

A long black dress fluttered in the wind, showing her figure to the fullest.

Under the light of the water and the moon, the snow-white skin inside the black gauze is looming, presenting a thrilling beauty.

"Cough cough..."

The gray-robed man coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said in a trembling voice, "No, it's not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed violently, and another big stream of blood overflowed from his mouth and nose.

"It's not the Lord of Lingyin Mountain, so you exposed your whereabouts and were surrounded by those talisman masters in Lingyin Mountain?"

"I haven't really approached the core area of ​​Lingyin Mountain at all, so naturally I won't fall into the encirclement they set up."

Vulture's expression was bleak, and he gasped for breath, "I was severely injured by a few punches by a guy who was so strong that he couldn't believe it."

"Several punches in succession, severely injured?"

"Vulture, are you kidding me?"

A hint of doubt flashed between the woman's brows, "Even if it is the uninjured Lingyin Mountain Lord, it is impossible to beat you like this with just fists."

"Mo Zhu, I don't want to explain why my mission failed, but the fact is that it is true."

Vulture looked bitter and sighed, "It's a bald-headed man who not only broke my spell, but also caught up with me and severely injured me with a few punches."

The woman in the black dress seemed to want to laugh.

But seeing her companion's serious and painful expression, she quickly became serious.

"What spell did he use when he fought you?"

Vulture shook his head, "Although I don't want to believe it, I still think that that guy didn't cast any kind of spell from the beginning to the end, but used a mysterious and terrifying power to defeat me."

"Did not cast a spell, suspected of other unknown power system?"

Mo Zhu frowned, thoughtfully.

When she spoke again, her voice had become extremely dignified, "We must go back immediately and report your discovery tonight to the Lord as soon as possible, without any delay or hesitation."

The vulture was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself, "If we go back now, the mission of Lingyin Mountain..."

"Compared to your discovery, the Spirit Seal Rune is not that important."

Mo Zhu took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, "Although I don't know what the meaning of Voidwalker is, but since you can match what the Lord once said, your discovery is a first-class important event, and it should be placed on the top of the list." above everything else."

Vulture asked suspiciously, "What did the lord say?"

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind howled, breaking down a large forest in the distance.

Mo Zhu and Vulture suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the place where the wind was blowing.

But following their actions, the wind stopped without warning.

The night has returned to peace and tranquility.

The two looked at each other, and before they could speak, they noticed that dense water mist rose up, quickly covering a large area.

"coming!"

"he came……"

"I've already run so far, yet I'm still being chased by him!"

The vulture shuddered, and his voice was distorted.
