Heaven is here to torture me

In Shuzu's underground cave, cold drops of water fell on the tip of Yue Guining's nose, which made him wake up with a start.

The consciousness came back to the soul, but the body could not move, as if nailed to the wooden board by countless nails, the only thing that could move was the pair of blue eyes.

Shooting left and right, looking up and down, there are thick tree roots all around, only occasionally covered with skin and white bones, it looks like a wild cemetery.

"Idiot, are you awake?" On Yue Guining's shoulder, the clay figurine possessed by Xu Zixuan was also firmly nailed to the root of the tree by a wooden branch, passing through the stomach, extremely embarrassed.

"Ahem, I..." Yue Guining opened his mouth, his mouth was full of blood, choking him hard to breathe.

Only Xu Zixuan said quietly: "I'm afraid we have also turned into fertilizer for the tree ancestors."

"..." Yue Guining took a deep breath, slowed down, and suddenly looked sad, "Why did Shu Zu do this... He has always been kind and kind, he is the most benevolent elder in the world..."

"Benevolent and kind? Benevolent?" Xu Zixuan interrupted Yue Guining with a sneer, "Look at how many bones are buried between the roots of this tree! That old monster is a monster who takes people's flesh and blood for a living! I don't know what he is What are you going to do to Master..."

When Lu Qingzhou was mentioned, the two were silent for a moment.

Thinking about what the old demon did, both of them trembled, numb from beginning to end.

"Damn it, you can't use the magic weapon here, so you can't send him a message." Yue Guining slightly raised her head, looking at the dark sky above, "I hope that fool won't find the Demon Sect..."

"Crack!" Just as Yue Guining was praying in a low voice, a slight sound suddenly came from above.

So the clay figurines Xu Zixuan and Yue Guining raised their heads together, and saw that a few pieces of gravel suddenly fell from the dark top.

Then, with a muffled "boom", a ray of light passed through the thick earth wall, shot down obliquely from above, and landed on the top of Yue Guining's head, driving away the darkness and repressed dead energy around him.

"He's over there!" Several figures appeared in the scorching light, casting a slender figure above Yue Guining.

"Little Qingzhou?" Yue Guining was startled, and hurriedly called out, "Don't come over!"

With this scream, the surrounding earth walls vibrated, and debris from falling rocks fell all over the place, hitting Yue Guining all over his face and body.

Lu Qingzhou sensed a hint of danger, and the Qingling sword whizzed out from his sleeve, and the scorching sun and real fire surrounded his body, forcing back the bursts of chill that came out of the cave.

"Boom!"Looking at the depths of the cave, a thick thing suddenly floated up, pierced through the soil layer, and rushed straight to where Lu Qingzhou and the others were.

Ning Shu took a quick look, grabbed Lu Qingzhou with one hand, and took a step back.

At the same time, layers of tearless black lotuses bloomed, opening barriers in front of the three of them.

"Empty!" The thick thing slammed into it head-on, and the sharpened tip pierced through the lotus barrier, before being stopped in front of the three of them.

It was only then that Lu Qingzhou realized that that thing was actually a tree root!

"It seems that I was discovered by that old monster." Wu Tear slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and confronted the opponent directly with his natal law, only then did he realize how different he was from this thousands-year-old old monster.

He regretted a little, he shouldn't have let Lu Qingzhou take this risk.

But Lu Qingzhou showed no sign of fear, he raised his sword and fell on the tree root.In an instant, the real fire of the scorching sun spread down the tree roots, illuminating the whole cave in a bright light.

The tree root seemed to be able to feel the burning pain, twisted and exited the small hole, beat left and right in the hole, but couldn't extinguish the most raging fire in the world.

It burrowed into the soil angrily, and the soil suddenly burst into fiery red flames.

Then, tree roots surged from all directions, tending to surround several people.

"Let's go!" Yue Guining shouted anxiously, he was already ashamed, and the falling rock just now hurt the corner of his eye. At this time, his eyes were blood red, and he was about to lose sight of the people in his field of vision. He was covered in cold sweat in anxiety. "Let's go! You are no match for Tree Ancestor!"

A few flashes of green light lit up in the cave, and huge arrays hovered in the air. The roots of the trees surrounded by the arrays seemed to be squeezed, nailed hard to the ground, and pressed into the ground. into the mud.

"It's Master's Earth Binding Formation!" Xu Zixuan cried out in surprise while hanging in the air.

I saw a flame falling from the sky, and wherever it went, the huge tree roots were cut off one after another and fell all over the ground.

The flame approached in front of them, Yue Guining and Xu Zixuan realized that it was Ning Shuyi's sword light.

"Hey, Your Majesty the Demon King, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm so embarrassed." Ning Shuyi taunted, while cutting off the roots of Yue Guining's body.

Yue Guining was about to say something sarcastic, but suddenly her eyes widened and she shouted: "Attention!"

"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and a thicker tree root came out from the ground, heading straight for Lu Qingzhou who was casting the formation.

Wulei used black lotus to counteract, Lu Qingzhou concentrated his attention even more, and set up formations one after another, but they were broken by the tree roots one by one.

The tree root was different from the previous ones, it seemed that countless tree roots gathered together, working together, and coming menacingly.

Ning Shu snorted coldly, stepped on the ground and flew out, slashing at the roots of the trees halfway up with his sword.

The root of the tree made a crackling sound, and was smashed aside by his sword, and the raging attack also deviated from the original direction, passing by Lu Qingzhou and Wulei, and went straight out. Strata.

What's even more weird is that there is a raised tumor growing in the middle of the tree root, which keeps rising and falling, and there are frequent fluorescent lights shining inside.

"There seems to be something inside..." Lu Qingzhou was about to swing his sword, but Wu Lei who was beside him rushed out before him.

Seeing this, Yue Guining and Xu Zixuan yelled, "Stop! Inside is..."

"Come out! Drink!" The black sword descended from the sky and pierced fiercely into the bulge.

The roots of the tree were broken, and the strong light shot out from inside, almost blinding the tearless eyes.

Wulei avoided the scorching light and thrust his sword in, but suddenly felt someone grabbing his wrist!

"Who!?" Wulei was shocked, and was about to take a step back, but was held tightly by the man, and several smaller roots shot out from the side, directly piercing his body.

"Pfft..." Wulei spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at him, his whole face turned weird, "You...you are..."

The tree root flicked violently, throwing Wulei across from Yue Guining and Xu Zixuan, who was also nailed to the wall by the tree root.

Seeing this, Ning Shu stabbed the root of the tree with a sword.

But Wulei was also like Yue Guining and Xu Zixuan, showing an extremely nervous expression: "Stop! There is..."

Ning Shu cut through the roots of the tree with his sword one by one, a slender arm gradually stretched out from the cracked opening, and then one of them slowly sat up from inside, his silver hair fell by his side, spotless.

"You..." Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Lu Qingzhou was also dumbfounded.

The soul of the Qingling Sword was bouncing in his mind, conveying all kinds of information, reminding him that the person in the tree was Lu Qingzhou himself!

It's just that this should be a body that cannot move and is completely dead!

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you finally found this place." Suddenly, that "Lu Qingzhou" stood up.

The same white clothes, the same long silver hair, the same face, the same voice, no matter what angle you look at, he is Lu Qingzhou himself.

Only that look, full of indifference and cruelty, made people feel chills.

"You are the tree ancestor? What did you do to my corpse? You refined it into a corpse puppet?" Lu Qingzhou was furious, feeling that he had been greatly humiliated.

But Shuzu smiled unhurriedly: "Corpse puppet? How could I be willing to refine you into something as low-level as a corpse puppet?"

He gently touched his face, with a cold smile on his lips: "Which corpse puppet can be so perfect?"

Before he finished admiring Gu Fang, a sword suddenly shot from below.

"Overreaching..." Shuzu sneered and waved his hand, the roots of the tree under his feet stretched out in a staggered way, not only protecting himself, but also stabbing at the trajectory of the sword, "This old man is not those ordinary people who can be easily hurt by you... ..."

Before I finished talking, I saw a little red light below, and the roots and branches of the tree made a crisp sound, and the layers broke.

A heat wave hits the face, the tree ancestor changed color slightly, tipped his toes, stretched his hands, like a bird flying upside down, drifting away, but saw the red sword light split the last layer of vines, and suddenly the light became brighter. Rising, quickly brushed past Shu Zu's side, and instantly turned one of his arms into soot!

"Corpse, lie down obediently!" Ning Shu caught up with his sword, and the domineering sword qi slashed straight at Shuzu, leaving deep sword marks on the wall, "My family, Axue If you have a new body, this old one will be your coffin!"

"How dare you!" Shuzu's face became as white as paper, layers of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, but before Fang Ning could stop, another raging fire fell from above.

"That's right, it's just a corpse, ashes to ashes to dust!" Lu Qingzhou shouted loudly, using all his body's healing techniques, the Lieyang True Flame fell from his head with great momentum.

Ancestor Shu was attacked by both ends, he hastily called out the roots of the vines, weaved them into a big net, and blocked the sea of ​​flames that rushed towards his head and face.

But this side has not been set up yet, Ning Shuyi's sword energy from below sticks up again, making him flustered and overwhelmed for a while, he turned over several times and rolled to the side, landing not far from Yue Guining.

There was a gleam in his eyes, he reached out and grabbed Yue Guining's arm, and said with a grin: "This old man has raised you for many years, it's your turn to give back to this old man!"

In an instant, a red mist filled the surroundings, and Yue Guining's miserable scream came from the mist: "Ah!"

Lu Qingzhou stepped forward, waved his sword to disperse the red mist, but saw Shu Zu standing in the air intact, Yue Guining and Wu Lei were like two puppets, hung by the branches, dangling behind Shu Zu, it was very miserable.

Especially Yue Guining, one of his arms seemed to have been sucked dry of flesh and blood, it became shriveled and thin, and could be broken with a light pinch.

"You..." Lu Qingzhou frowned and clenched the sword in his hand.

"If you dare to hurt a single hair of this old man, this old man will suck their flesh and blood..." Shu Zu waved his sleeves and said with a sneer.

Lu Qingzhou was furious, but suddenly cried without tears: "Senior!"

"Leave us alone!" He gritted his teeth, grabbed a thorn that had penetrated into his body, and pulled it out fiercely, "Kill this old demon first!"

"Then let's see whether you were killed by the old man first, or they were sucked dry by the old man first!" Shu Zu lightly snapped his fingers, and the two thorns pierced into Wulei's back fiercely again. Once filled with a terrible red mist.

"Hehe, look, what a vigorous life... huh?" Shuzu's eyes suddenly shot towards Wulei, but saw that the red mist gradually dissipated, but there were traces of black threads coiled on the thorns, and they kept looking towards Shuzu. The direction in which it is located is far away.

"You are..." Shuzu's face changed, and he immediately retracted the two thorns, but the black thread was entangled tightly around the thorns, which made Shuzu's movements stagnate!

At this moment, a red light shone on Shuzu's pale face.

The fiery red light reflected in the pitch-black eyes, and Ning Shuyi's sword was close at hand!

Tree Ancestor managed to avoid the sword, and strands of his silver hair were cut off, which made him feel inexplicable fear.

He couldn't believe it, how could he be afraid of such a brat?What is the origin of this kid!

"Don't hide if you have the ability!" Ning Shu showed a sarcasm smile, even more so than the previous tree ancestor.

"If you hurt me, aren't you afraid that I'll suck them dry?" Shuzu wanted to do a death-struggle, but Ning Shu hit his head and face with his sword again and again. He was extremely fast and merciless, and he didn't take the hostages seriously at all. .

It might even be said that the target of his sword seemed to be the Wulei behind Shuzu.If it wasn't for Wulei's intuition that he slightly staggered his body when the sword qi rushed, he would have almost been split in half by him!

No Tears: ...

"Sorry, slippery hand!" Ning Shu said sorry, but his expression was somewhat regretful.

It's a rare opportunity to eradicate the rival in love, but I didn't grasp it well, what a miscalculation!

Tree Ancestor: ...

Ning Shuyi's sword cut off the thorn on Wulei's body, and Wulei's backhand stabbed with the sword, forcing Shuzu to a corner.

Lu Qingzhou took this opportunity to jump up, swiped twice, and saved Yue Guining.

"Master!" Yue Guining revealed a small doll under her red hair, and waved her arms at Lu Qingzhou, "It's a disciple!"

"Xu Zixuan? Why are you here?"

"It's too late to explain! Master, be careful!" Xu Zixuan said anxiously, "The tree ancestor not only occupied Master's body, he also fused with Master's remnant soul!"

"..." There was not much surprise on Lu Qingzhou's face, but he sealed Xu Zixuan's mouth with his eyes.

When seeing the tree ancestor, Qing Lingjian's tool soul had already sensed it.

If the opponent only controlled his own remnant body, it would be fine as long as the body was destroyed, but if he accidentally wiped out his lost soul, then he would also be affected.

However, even if his soul is damaged, he is not willing to let his remnant soul become the weakness of everyone!

Yue Guining lost too much blood and his face was as white as snow. Lu Qingzhou stuffed him with a elixir and threw him to Xu Zixuan.

"I know it well, you just take care of him."

"Master!" Xu Zixuan called eagerly, but Lu Qingzhou flew into the air without looking back.

Ning Shuyi and Wulei are attacking Shuzu together.

The two of you move with each other, and they seem to be defending against the enemy together, but they seem to be competing with each other. Occasionally, their moves will collide with each other, sparking sparks.

Shuzu originally wanted to find a chance to make a profit, but he never found a chance to make a move, and was instead suppressed by the violent offensive of the two.

"How is this possible!" Shu Zu was horrified.

He has already crossed the tribulation cultivation base, if he could not find the entrance of the Tao, he should have ascended to the sky in one step.

Looking at the world, even the hundreds of miles of mountains that had soared before would not be his opponent.

But now, he was pinned down by the two young men in front of him and couldn't move?

Except for the devil who used the body of lotus root, this boy named Ning Shuyi made him feel even more taboo.

The other party seems to have a lot of background... The sense of oppression he brings to people is far beyond the mountains of hundreds of miles, and there is even a sense of majesty and majesty...

Tianwei? !

Shu Zu seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

But soon, he loosened his brows again, and curled up the corners of his lips proudly.

"Stop!" Seeing Ning Shuyi's move approaching, Shu Zu shouted, "Do you want to destroy his remnant soul?"

Hearing these words, Ning Shu stopped as expected, his face extremely gloomy.

"Hmph, do you think I just controlled his body?" Shu Zu was complacent, with scattered silver hair flying around his face, "Don't forget, he still lacks a soul, only I know... ..."

"Father the old demon!" Before he finished speaking, Wulei next to him pierced the tree ancestor with his sword.

Shu Zu didn't move, he just turned his head and smiled confidently at him.

A red light flashed across, and Wulei's sword was abruptly blocked!

"Ning Shuyi? What are you doing!" Wu Lei saw the person blocking his attack, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Ning Shu swung Wulei's sword away, pushed him away with a palm, and stared at the person below, his eyes were extremely cold, as if he had entered an ice cellar.

"He has fused with Ashue's remnant soul, so he cannot be killed."

"!"

"Hahaha! Are you willing to hurt his soul? Look, one is his concubine, the other is his ex..." Shu Zu succeeded in his treacherous plan, laughed wildly, pointed his finger at Ning Shu, and then drew Wulei aside, finally Gently stroked his neck, "How is it? Does he taste good? Otherwise..."

"You!" Wu Lei couldn't help but wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Ning Shu.

Hearing Shuzu's voice become more and more cold...

"What do you like about such a despicable and shameless villain?"

"What kind of grievances do you have with Axue? Why did you frame him again and again?" At this moment, Ning Shu was very calm, holding back his tears, and looked directly at Shu Zu, appearing upright and calm.

"Why?" Shuzu raised his head slightly, looking at the top of his head.

There was a silver light in the hole, and it was probably already night outside.

The moonlight was cold and shrouded everything in silver, just like that night...

"Back then, the Demon Emperor promised that once he ascended, he would lead me to the sky together..." Shu Zu's thoughts seemed to have flown a thousand years ago, with the snow-white moonlight reflected in his eyes.

Thousands of years ago, the way of heaven was out of balance, and natural disasters continued, plundering the common people.

The people in the world are in dire straits, and survival is extremely difficult.

Even in the world of self-cultivation, it is extremely difficult to practice. There are very few people who can ascend, and every ascender carries the heavy responsibility of changing the destiny of the world for the common people, but they always go to the sky without returning.

He and the Demon Emperor have been together for nearly a thousand years, and they are the most trusted subordinate and best friend of the Demon Emperor. They made an agreement that whoever ascends to the sky first will not leave the other party alone in the world, and they will fight for the power of heaven for the common people of the world together.

The Demon Emperor was very talented, and he had achieved positive results early, but as a tree demon, he had developed his spiritual wisdom late, so he was naturally inferior to the Demon Emperor.

He has always wanted to follow the Demon Emperor to the Immortal Realm, and he has always believed that the Demon Emperor will not abandon them.

On that day, the Demon Emperor soared up, and they surrounded him and climbed up the ladder, climbing from the middle of the night to the dawn of the sun.

The red sun in the east is breaking at dawn, and the sun is shining brightly. Seeing the gate of heaven is approaching, everyone's heart is full of excitement. Seeing that they are about to step into that gate, they will get rid of difficulties and sufferings and live together with heaven, and no longer fear life and death. Difficult and dangerous.

But suddenly, a thunder flashed across the sky, and a icy sword light swept across the road ahead.

The winding ladder was cut off by a sword and fell from the sky.

As a result, he and a small number of civet cats fell from a high altitude, each of them was seriously injured and almost died.

From then on, his Dao heart collapsed, the demon core was greatly damaged, and his practice became more difficult and difficult. He had to use his spiritual fruit as a bait to attract many people to cultivate and demon cultivators, and gradually controlled their minds. , and then absorb their flesh and blood cultivation in an extremely vicious way to make up for his demon core.

No one knows that he has already used this method to plot against countless great powers.

But also because of this, he seems to be condemned by God, and he can no longer transform into a human form...

"I will become what I am today, all because of him!" Shuzu's face was ferocious, and his sharp fingers scraped his snow-white cheeks vigorously, leaving red marks, "He ruined my way, ruined my way, After spending my whole life, I want him to betray all relatives, even if I rob him of his body, he owes it to me!"

"Nonsense!" Wu Lei couldn't help cursing, "The Ascension of the Demon Emperor happened 3000 years ago, how could your old account be involved in him..."

"Hehe..." Shuzu swept Wulei lightly, and then looked at Ning Shuyi.

Seeing that Ning Shu frowned, as if he was thinking about something, Shu Zu was a little surprised.

"Could it be that you know?" Shu Zu was very surprised, and even guessed Ning Shuyi's identity, his tone became firm, "You must know!"

"He is the Demon Emperor! He is the villain who broke his promise and cut off the ladder to kill us!"

This angry shout, wandering through the empty cave, almost everyone heard the echo full of hatred, and the silence was suffocating for a while.

"I noticed him as soon as he returned to the mortal world! He was born from a dead baby of the Lu family, and was taken away by Baili Chongshan first..." Shuzu said unwillingly, "From then on, I can only wait in secret. Chance, that demon ancestor sacrifice was the beginning of my revenge on him... I want to take away everything he values! I want to let him taste the pain of being betrayed by the person he trusts the most! These are all things he bestowed on me back then! I want to ask him to give it all back!"

"So, you deliberately ruined his life?" Ning Shu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, the [7451] in his hand seemed to feel the master's anger, gradually glowing bright red, showing endless murderous intent.

"So what? I have already fused his soul. If you kill me, you will kill him!" Shuzu opened his arms and sneered proudly, "If you don't care about his life or death, you can try it. If you don't want him to die, just be obedient ..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bloody light shot out from Shuzu's chest with a "poof".

Shu Zu lowered his head in disbelief, looking at his chest.

The heart was pierced by a sword from behind, and the blue sword body suddenly ignited a raging flame, which was gorgeous and dazzling.

The flames burned the body, gradually spreading from the chest.

"You..." Shu Zu's eyes turned to the back, and he saw a delicate and icy face, "Aren't you afraid...of death?"

"Of course I'm afraid." Lu Qingzhou was expressionless, and rushed towards Shuzu with surging spiritual power, "But I won't let you use this as a threat to hurt Aning."

"Hehe...You villain, how can you be so righteous?" Shuzu sneered, but Lu Qingzhou replied indifferently: "I am not the demon emperor you said, I just borrowed this body..."

"You are!" Tree Ancestor roared, "Your soul, I will never admit my mistake!"

"..." Lu Qingzhou looked up at Ning Shuyi who was in front of him, with doubts in his eyes.

He is not a substitute of the Demon Emperor, but the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor? ?

Seemingly seeing Lu Qingzhou's confusion, Ning Shu nodded slightly, affirming Shuzu's statement.

Lu Qingzhou's hand trembled slightly, and he felt a little rejoicing in his heart. He was glad that he was not a substitute, and that the one Ning Shu loved from the beginning to the end was himself...

However, he became more and more confused.

Didn't the Demon Emperor ascend to the sky?How could he enter reincarnation and be reincarnated?

Moreover, if he was the Demon Emperor, how could he do the things Shu Zu said with his character?

"Small man! Today I will kill you!" Shuzu yelled, his body turned into a ball of flames, and fell from the sky.

At the same time, Ning Shuyi and Wu Lei shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

Lu Qingzhou woke up from his doubts, and saw a black smoke rushing towards his face, getting into the flame flower on his forehead.

A powerful sense of consciousness rushed into his mind, making him have a splitting headache.

He could no longer hear other sounds, but could only see Wu Lei and Ning Shu running towards him with anxious faces.
