Peerless martial arts system

Chapter 287 Ghost Castle
Rented a room at the most luxurious inn in the town, took a comfortable bath, Shi Xiaole changed into a brand new light-colored blue shirt, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

For more than two months, his martial arts has not slackened. Although there is no sign of a breakthrough in his cultivation, he has improved by three points.

Compared with cultivation, the improvement of martial arts is much more obvious.

Of the fifteen life-threatening swords, he has practiced the first thirteen swords to 14% level, No.15 sword to [-]% level, and even the most impossible No.[-] sword, he has vaguely figured out the way.

The current Shi Xiaole, not to mention the seventh level of profound energy, even the master of the eighth level of profound energy is not a problem. If he is allowed to fight Guan Qingying who is at the same level, he can easily finish the opponent within ten swords.

late at night.

The lights on the street flickered on and off, making the town seem a bit lonely.

A young man walked into the inn, about 20 years old, dusty, and opened his mouth to order two roast chickens, a roast goose, and three catties of bamboo leaves.

When the food and wine came, the young man used both his hands and his mouth, and he ate everything in a short while.

"Brothers, there's an idiot in our town."

There were several big men at the next table, and one of them sarcastically made all the drinkers laugh.

The young man looked indifferent.

After a while, slightly cramped footsteps sounded from outside the inn, and a few more people came in.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

The leading man in brocade clothes looked apologetic, and approached the young man respectfully.

The young man waved his hand: "It's okay, I just came here too."

"Since that's the case, please step back a little, brother Lin. My father has prepared a banquet to welcome you."

Seeing the residue on the table, the man in brocade clothes was even more polite and extended his hand to invite.

"Okay, I'm worried that I'm not full."

When the group left, the strong men who had just laughed at the young man were already trembling with fright.

"Who is that kid who deserves to be personally invited by the Young Leader of the Zihua Gang?"

"No matter who it is, we can't mess with it. Fortunately, they didn't care about it just now, otherwise there would be no good fruit for us."

Zihua Gang, one of the three major Jianghu gangs in Xuanfeng Town.The young gang leader should be sure, with a sixth-level profound energy cultivation base, and his strength is among the best in the town.

The strong men seemed to be a little scared, put down their money and left in a hurry.

Sitting by the window, with a panoramic view of everything, Shi Xiaole smiled and called the waiter.

"Brother, may I ask if there is a half-moon pool nearby?"

Shi Xiaole took out an ingot of silver and handed it over, but he didn't expect much in his heart.After so many years, the place mentioned by the unknown monk may not still exist.

The waiter in the shop burst into laughter, hurriedly took it, and said, "My lord, the place you mentioned is quite small. It's at the foot of Wanggui Slope three miles west of the town. But you must not go there, lord."

Shi Xiaole was overjoyed when he heard that there was a play, and seeing the nervous face of the waiter in the shop, he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Young Master, I don't know. It's within the scope of the ghost castle. Anyone who goes there will only have a dead end."

Under the introduction of Xiaoer Dian, Shi Xiaole found out that since five years ago, a very strange thing happened in Xuanfeng Town. Anyone who entered within [-] meters of Wanggui Slope would disappear for no reason, without exception.

Later, some people claimed to have seen a stone castle with a gloomy atmosphere and long-haired ghosts floating in the castle. Since then, there have been legends about the ghost castle.

It's not that no quack masters have explored there.

But for one thing, the authenticity of the ghost castle still needs to be verified.Secondly, Xuanfeng Town is too remote, so there are very few Lingguan Realm masters coming here, and they can't find anything.

"My lord, don't go there."

It seems that Shi Xiaole is very friendly, the waiter repeatedly asked.

It's a pity that Shi Xiaole came to Xuanfeng Town here to find possible strange fruits, so how could he be frightened by such a thing.After eating, he came out of town alone.

Not long after, a lonely cliff under the moon was in sight.

With all his strength, Shi Xiaole walked carefully to the edge of the lonely cliff, and soon saw a crescent-shaped water pool and deep ditch that had long since dried up.

According to the unknown monk, there is a cave in the deep ditch, and when it goes down to about 400 meters underground, there is a seed of a different fruit.

After so many years, the strange fruit has most likely been picked off, but Shi Xiaole still wants to go down and have a look.

But what surprised him was that he couldn't get close to the Banyue Pool. Every time he thought he had arrived, he looked carefully, but there was still a lot of distance.

"A formation has been set up here."

Shi Xiaole didn't panic, instead, he closed his eyes calmly, remembering what the waiter said.He believes that something will come out by itself.

Uh...

Sure enough, a ghostly howl sounded suddenly, it seemed to be on the left.

Shi Xiaole drew out his sword, but stabbed to the right, the tip of the sword pierced a pile of black mist, the black mist dissipated, and formed in the rear, turning into a claw.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaole seemed to have expected it a long time ago, his right arm moved slightly, and the long sword flicked back smoothly, cutting off the black claw shadow again.

Whoosh!
The claw shadow shattered, it turned out to be just a false move, a strange smell poured into Shi Xiaole's nose.However, his movements remained unabated, and this time he finally stabbed the entity.

"Aren't you afraid of poison?"

The black mist disappeared, revealing a slightly ferocious face, holding the blade of the sword in his left hand, with blood flowing from it.

"Are you from the ghost castle?"

Shi Xiaole didn't answer the question instead.

"Hey, if you want to know, go down and ask Hades."

The man opened his mouth suddenly, and a black blood arrow shot out at a fast speed.The distance between the two sides was less than three feet, and with his internal force at the fourth level of profound energy, even a master at the sixth level of profound energy would still be hit.

He believed that Shi Xiaole was no exception.

laugh.

A burst of cyan sword energy cut the black blood arrow in the middle, and after another flash, the man was shocked to find that the long sword had stopped at the top of his head.

What a fast sword!

The eyes of the boy on the opposite side lit up with a strange color, making the man's soul seem to be hooked away.

"Where is the ghost castle?"

"Just above the half-moon pool."

Shi Xiaole was taken aback by the man's answer.

"How do I get in?"

"I don't know, the ghost mother-in-law doesn't trust anyone. I'm just in charge of monitoring and sweeping out trespassers and little ghosts. If I have something to do, someone will take me into the ghost castle."

I asked a lot of questions, but the other party knew very little. The only useful news was that the three gangs in Xuanfeng Town seemed to be involved in the ghost castle, and they would regularly provide medicinal materials to it.

Shi Xiaole stopped talking nonsense, killed the opponent with a single sword, and walked away.Since he couldn't get into the formation, he simply went back to study it first.

A quarter of an hour later, two black shadows walked out of the formation.In the eyes of outsiders, it seems to appear out of thin air.

"Little No. [-] was killed, killed with a sword."

"To be able to kill the No. [-] kid with a single sword, the strength of the comer is at least at the seventh level of profound energy. It seems that only the leader of the Zihua Sect in Xuanfeng Town can do it."

"He doesn't dare! It should be an outsider, go and tell your mother-in-law."

The two lifted the body of kid No. [-] and walked back to the formation.

the next day.

Shi Xiaole, who returned to Xuanfeng Town, directly approached the Zihua Gang, the largest of the three major gangs.

"I don't know what the young hero is here for?"

In the hall, Ying Xiong, the leader of the Zihua Gang, secretly looked at Shi Xiaole.

Although Xuanfeng Town is remote, Ying Xiong also ventured into the rivers and lakes in his early years. From his point of view, Shi Xiaole should be one of the more outstanding young people.

"Dare to ask Master Ying, do you know the strength of the master of the ghost castle, the ghost mother-in-law?"

Ying Xiong's pupils shrank violently, and then returned to normal immediately, he laughed and said, "I don't know why the young man asks this question?"

"I heard that Ghost Castle has killed many innocent people over the years, so I want to eradicate it."

Shi Xiaole said lightly.

When he came here, he had inquired that Ying Xiong was already 49 years old, and he was at the seventh level of profound energy, so his strength should not be very strong.When they met, the other party did not give him a sense of threat.

So Shi Xiaole was too lazy to make false claims.

If the other party is an assistant of Guibao, just take the questioning directly, if not, then make another calculation.

"Young man, you should be self-aware, it's better not to get into trouble, take back what you just said, I can pretend I didn't hear it."

Ying Xiong said with a skinny smile.

"Sorry, I will never take back what I said."

Shi Xiaole was unmoved.

popping.

As soon as Ying Xiong clapped his hands, ten masters rushed out of the hall, they rushed towards Shi Xiaole without any orders.

Each of these ten people is a master of the fifth level of profound energy, and they cooperated very tacitly, killing two or three experts of the sixth level of profound energy was effortless.

The strength spread, pressing down on Shi Xiaole who was sitting beside him like a mountain, until ten people approached, Shi Xiaole drew out his sword.

A sword was drawn across, and the sword was put into its sheath.

bang bang bang...

The weapons in the hands of the ten people were broken in two, and they all froze on the spot.

"what?"

Ying Xiong was also stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Master Ying, how is it?"

Shi Xiaole sat still, drinking tea leisurely.

Ying Xiong waved his hand to retreat everyone, and said a shocking sentence: "To tell you the truth, Young Man, Ying has long been displeased with what Ghost Fort is doing, and has been planning to eliminate Grandmother Ghost all these years. I just wanted to see Young Man's actions." strength."

Shi Xiaole didn't show surprise, because the other party was not murderous from the beginning to the end, but just asked: "Aren't you afraid that I am sent by the ghost mother to test you?"

Ying Xiong said with a smile: "First, the young hero just came to Xuanfeng Town yesterday evening. Second, there is no need for Grandma Ghost to send someone to test it out, because she gave the leaders of our three major gangs a very powerful Gu technique. , making us obliged to submit to her."

"However, recently, by chance, we were rescued by a certain Gu art master, and the poison was removed. In the past few years, the ghost mother-in-law has refined the Gu art, and used our three major gangs to collect materials, get whatever they want, and often capture them. Our subordinates went to experiment, we have tolerated her for a long time!"

At the end, Ying Xiong changed his smile to a murderous look.

"Are you sure you can kill her?"

Shi Xiaole asked.

"Grandmother Ghost's cultivation has reached the seventh level of profound energy, and with the addition of Gu techniques, the masters of the ninth level of profound energy are not opponents. However, we have also found a lot of experts, and together with the young hero, with the combination of many people, we will be able to win in one fell swoop." Get her down, and defeat the ghost castle."

In Ying Xiong's eyes, Shi Xiaole's strength is at least at the seventh level of profound energy. If he is willing to join them, although he can't be counted as the main force, he is definitely the backbone and can increase his chances of winning.

Thinking of this, Ying Xiong felt a little helpless.

In fact, if it weren't for the level of the three major gangs, they couldn't get in touch with the masters of the Lingguan realm, and they couldn't afford too much reward, so why would it be so troublesome.
