Gou became a martial saint in another world

Chapter 303 The Fourth God Seed: Darkness! ! (two in one)

inside the room.

Qin Muqing had already swallowed a detoxification pill, her pretty face turned pale, her hands rested on her senior sister's back, and she used all her zhenqi to rush towards her back.

It was a horrible experience tonight.

Originally, he just went out quietly to inquire about the situation, but he unexpectedly encountered the master of the Poison Sect directly. Before the real battle started, he and his senior sister were already poisoned.

If the senior sister hadn't used the forbidden technique recklessly to repel the members of the Poison Sect, the two of them would have been in danger tonight.

As the true energy poured into the senior sister's body continuously, it took a long time for the senior sister to wake up slowly, her face still indigo.

"Junior Sister, are there any strong enemies chasing you?"

The woman in plain clothes had a difficult tone.

Qin Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It should be fine. I heard some movement just now, but now the movement has disappeared, so I must have left."

"That's fine."

The woman in plain clothes responded weakly.

"By the way, when I was escaping just now, I accidentally ran into the person next door. Thanks to the help of the other party to cover up, we were able to escape. If the Poison Sect's people continue to investigate tomorrow, it will definitely cause disaster. I need to inform the other party as soon as possible. Keep it away."

Qin Muqing suddenly realized and spoke quickly.

"Meeted by the people next door?"

The woman in plain clothes half-closed her eyes, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Junior Sister, you are still too young. You must be cautious when walking in the rivers and lakes. How can you survive such a matter of life and death?"

Qin Muqing's expression changed.

"Senior Sister..."

"kill him!"

The plain-clothed woman's tone turned cold: "Only by killing him will we not be exposed!"

"But Senior Sister, the other party didn't betray us..."

Qin Muqing spoke quickly.

The woman in plain clothes suddenly fell silent, her face expressionless, and she sighed secretly.

This junior sister still has little experience in the world...
···
The night passed, and the sky and the earth were white.

Outside the yard, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Fang looked flat, with his hands behind his back, and dressed in an indigo robe, he walked gently and went to open the courtyard door.

I saw the two women I saw yesterday suddenly appearing outside the gate of my courtyard.

The injuries and poison on the two women have been suppressed a lot.

"Thank you sir for covering it up last night. I passed by in a hurry last night and almost got you involved in the whirlpool. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me."

Qin Muqing cupped her hands apologetically and said.

"It's okay, I have nothing to lose anyway."

Yang Fang smiled.

"Sir, to tell you the truth, the person who was hunted down last night was from the Poison Sect. The Poison Sect has now defected to the royal family. We have offended them. They will definitely continue to search. Please leave this place as soon as possible, sir, so as not to get into trouble."

Qin Muqing hurriedly spoke again.

After struggling all night, she still couldn't kill the killer!
"Okay, I will."

Yang Fang continued to smile.

Seeing that Yang Fang's expression didn't change in the slightest, Qin Muqing's expression changed again, and he quickly said: "Sir, this is definitely not a joke, you'd better leave now, or you will change later!"

"Don't worry, I should be fine. There are relatives of my family in the six doors, and I live so close to the six doors, so there will be no accidents, right?"

Yang Fang laughed.

"Sir, the Poison Sect has already joined the imperial court, and the six sects can't control them."

Qin Muqing's face changed slightly, and he quickly spoke again.

The plain-clothed woman on one side sighed secretly.

That's it!

Good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost!

Maybe the other party still doesn't know how terrifying the Poison Sect is?
"Junior Sister, let's go, cough cough..."

The woman in plain clothes coughed again, her face pale.

Qin Muqing's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he had never seen such a grumpy person like Yang Fang, and said again: "Sir, let's stop talking, you'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise this is definitely not a joke."

"Okay, let's go, let's go."

Yang Fang smiled, still disapproving.

Qin Muqing stomped her feet directly, stopped meddling, and helped her senior sister to leave quickly.

The eyes of the plain-clothed woman on one side flickered coldly, and she wanted to throw the flying needle in her hand several times, but she held back in the end.

She doesn't want to do this kind of behavior in front of her junior sister...
"interesting."

Yang Fang smiled, seeing all this in his eyes.

He closed the courtyard door again and returned to the room.

···
at dusk.

Yang Fang was summoned by No. [-] again, turned his palm over, and took out the mask.

Time to act?

With a flash in his eyes, he immediately put on his Taoist robe, put away his mask, and pretended to be the [Realist Xuanyang] again. With a sway of his body, he quickly disappeared into the residence.

outside the city.

As the sun sets, the Luoshui is shimmering with waves and there are many boats.

On a large pitch-black ship in the middle.

A group of figures gathered from all directions, either driving a small boat or stepping on the water, all of them rushed into the big ship at a very fast speed.

After entering, the breath quickly disappeared and could no longer be felt.

Soon.

Yang Fang and No. [-] also appeared again and landed on the deck.

A strange Vault Palace expert quickly emerged, checked their tokens, and led them into the big ship.

After entering the cabin, I saw hundreds of figures appeared densely in front of me.

Wearing all kinds of clothes, breathing in confusion, whispering

There is the Holy Spirit, and there are super products.

Basically, they are all strongmen in various sects, families, and martial arts halls in Qingtianyu.

And in front of the crowd, there was an unusually weird person.

This person has a handsome face and is extremely feminine. He has long purple hair and a fair face. There is a narrow vertical eye between his brows, and he is lazily sitting on the front seat.

Doesn't seem interested in anything.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked at others directly.

A faint noble aura emanated from the opponent's body.

Beside him, there was a woman in black dress with a cold face, revealing a bit of conceit, the corners of her mouth curled up, standing quietly, with a faint arrogance.

"Is this the new master sent by the Firmament Palace?"

Yang thought about it in peace.

It seems that the person presiding over this matter this time should be the three-eyed man seated here.

"One of the three ancient clans of the Firmament Palace, the Celestial Clan!"

The voice of No. [-] suddenly sounded in Yang Fang's mind.

"Sky Clan?"

"Yes, is it strange? Their surname is Tian, ​​and their origin is extremely ancient. In terms of status, this person is much higher than the previous Yuan Gang and Pang Wanzhong."

Response number one.

Yang Xin felt awe-inspiring.

No. [-] actually even understands this kind of thing.

He came from the Firmament Palace before?
Yang Fang walked over and started looking for a place to sit down, his eyes swept away, but he accidentally saw the two women he had met before again.

At this moment, the second daughter's complexion is obviously much better than in the morning, and she is standing honestly behind a teacher at this moment.

Yang Fang didn't respond, and quickly sat down here with No. [-].

Time passed little by little.

It was completely dark outside.

Figures of figures continued to come in from the outside, and when it was almost Haishi, the three-eyed man waved his hand lazily, and said calmly, "Quiet!"

The entire cabin can instantly hear the sound of a needle falling.

A silence.

Everyone turned their gazes to the three-eyed man.

The three-eyed man said flatly: "Presumably, you have already learned about the matter from Yuan Gang before, so I won't say much else. I will preside over the elimination of the six-door headquarters this time. My Sky God The palace dispatched a total of four masters from the [Second Ladder] and twelve masters from the [First Ladder]. As for you, it is enough to follow the lead, but this time, we will only kill the culprit..."

"Cough cough!"

Before he finished speaking, the woman in the black skirt suddenly coughed softly, and added in a cold tone: "If you want to do it, you must do it. The six-door headquarters is not only the headquarters of the royal experiment, but also one of the emperor's arms. This operation should be eradicated in one fell swoop, leaving no one behind, only in this way can the emperor really feel the pain."

The three-eyed man frowned suddenly, and looked at the woman in the black dress dissatisfied.

But he didn't say much.

Everyone immediately started discussing and was surprised.

Firmament Palace actually sent four [Second Ladders]!
With such power, they naturally have no scruples!

"Okay, Agni Gang agrees!"

"The Green Immortal Sect agrees!"

"The Guo family agrees!"

"Longevity Gate..."

Everyone opened their mouths.

The three-eyed man's face was cold and he continued to speak, but the woman in the black skirt had already said in advance: "In this case, we will start to act now. Don't worry, my son will accompany you to act together. If the emperor does not act, Forgive him, Zi Tianxiong, who can't stop so many of us at all, as for the imperial city formation, don't worry, we have our own undercover agents, who will control the imperial city formation, so that the imperial city formation cannot function!"

"That's good."

"As long as the imperial city formation can't work."

"Then let's act."

Everyone spoke again.

The three-eyed man remained silent, lowered his head, and continued without saying a word.

The strange scene was immediately noticed by Yang Fang, who was secretly puzzled.

what is this?
Slave bully the master?

···
At the end of Haishi.

The gates of the city were closed, the streets were pitch-black, and thick fog had formed around.

Only the watchmen, wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes, huddled up, were still walking slowly.

clap clap clap!
"Lang Lang Yang Shi, everything is safe and sound!"

clap clap clap!
"Langlang Yangshi, peace..."

In the middle of shouting, Lao Yutou, who was over fifty years old, opened his eyes wide, showing disbelief.

Ahead, at the six-door headquarters, a large black shadow suddenly appeared, passed by in a flash, and rushed directly into the six-door headquarters, and then with a bang, the door of the six-door headquarters exploded directly, and debris flew.

Old Yutou was so terrified that he almost fell to the ground.

"Have thieves stormed the six-door headquarters?"

His voice was so sharp it was unbelievable.

···
Inside the six-door headquarters.

Hundreds of silhouettes rushed past at a fast speed, and went straight to the deepest part.

"Who dares to break into the six doors?"

A master of the second level of super grades shouted in shock.

puff!

boom!
He spurted blood wildly, and was slapped on the chest by someone's palm, and his body flew backwards fiercely.

In other directions, all the six-door masters have been alarmed.

"Enemy attack!"

"Someone breaks through the six doors at night, kill!"

"Stop the thief!"

One after another, the powerful headhunters rushed out quickly, shouting loudly, and rushed towards the crowd rushing forward.

It's just that among the crowd, the leader is directly a group of masters of the first ladder, who are ruthless in their attacks and rush past immediately.

Bang bang bang!

Someone kept vomiting blood and flew backwards, throwing them backwards.

The entire headquarters of Six Doors was in chaos in an instant.

The ear-splitting bells immediately began to ring, echoing rapidly throughout the night, clanging.

"Quickly open the big array!"

"Mobilize the evil crossbow!"

"Notify the old prince!"

One after another, the head catchers from the headquarters of Six Doors shouted loudly.

boom! !

The entire six-door headquarters began to glow rapidly, and all the buildings, grounds, rockeries, pavilions, and small buildings seemed to suddenly have life and began to bloom, forming a terrifying atmosphere.

then!

Group after group of head catchers holding evil crossbows rushed out at a high speed, and directly launched the crossbows in their hands, densely packed, shooting towards the crowd.

But there were too many people, and the [Second Ladder] from the Firmament Palace led the team. Even though the six-door headquarters immediately raised a large formation, they were still quickly rushed away.

With a bang, there were terrifying explosions everywhere.

"Kill them all, leave none behind!"

The girl in the black dress with a glamorous face yelled directly, and her voice echoed here.

"kill!"

Many masters are all rushing out, shouting to kill and shaking the sky.

The faces of many arresters changed drastically, and they quickly backed away.

at this time!

boom!
Suddenly, bursts of incomparably tragic evil spirits emanated from the depths of the six-door headquarters. It was gloomy and thick, flying sand and stones, as if the gate of hell had opened, and everyone was shocked.

They looked back quickly.

I only heard bursts of terrifying and piercing howling sounds, like howling wolves, not like human voices.

One after another, terrifying figures leaped out from the depths of the six-door headquarters, and landed on the buildings in all directions, with surging aura and unpredictable terror.

Afterwards, under the moonlit night, they immediately began to transform rapidly.

Everyone's body swelled, as if inflated, tearing and rattling, muscles emerged, veins bulged, and countless dense black hairs grew out in an instant.

"Aww..."

In the blink of an eye, all the terrifying figures turned into terrifying four-meter-high figures, with raging breaths all over their bodies, green faces and fangs, scarlet eyes, and terrifying breaths.

Like a monster.

Everyone who entered the headquarters of Six Doors turned pale with shock when they saw this scene.

Is this the monster created by the royal family using divine blood?

So many?
boom!
Those horrific monsters stepped on the soles of their feet, and with an abnormally terrifying aura, they directly killed everyone. There were dozens of such horrific monsters in all directions.

At the same time, the bell at the headquarters of Six Doors continued to ring.

They are constantly calling for experts to come.

···
Deep in the palace.

Within hidden underground secrets.

The current Emperor Zi Yuntian, with an indifferent and expressionless face, sat quietly cross-legged in a strange purple blood pool, and the whole blood pool was making a gurgling sound, like boiling.

His fresh blood is continuously overflowing from the blood pool, while the original purple blood in the blood pool is constantly pouring into his body.

Behind him, there is a vague and strange soul shadow, which is as high as seven or eight meters, and there is an abnormally terrifying fluctuation all over his body.

As the blood in the blood pool poured into the emperor's body continuously, the blurred soul shadow also gradually merged into the emperor's body, as if merging with him.

During the fusion process, the space around the emperor's body suddenly collapsed, and divine light emerged.

Bursts of unspeakable terrifying aura continued to spread out.

As a result, abnormal phases appeared instantly above the entire palace.

It was as if a huge purple vortex had appeared, it was earth-shattering, the rays of light were gorgeous, and it shone brightly in the dark night.

now!

Opposite the emperor, there was a strange figure standing quietly, smiling all over his face, and said: "It's a good trick, you have deceived everyone this time, and now the group of idiots in the Vault of Heaven Palace must have led Everyone is attacking the six-door headquarters, once they react, it will be too late, after so many years, you are very likely to be the first person to take the last step, wonderful, really wonderful! ”

The emperor didn't say a word, he was still fusing the divine blood with all his strength.

···
Six Doors Headquarters.

Shouting to kill and shaking the sky, the aura is terrifying, sand and stones are flying, and chaotic fluctuations are everywhere.

As those dozens of black-haired monsters joined the battlefield, the two sides quickly fell into a heated battle.

Not only that, but there are also masters attached to the imperial court, who are constantly joining the battlefield and killing everyone.

but!

Yang Fang didn't intend to join the battle at all. From the moment he came in, he quickly sensed the God Seed, and after getting rid of No. [-], he rushed directly to the depths.

After slapping and killing several six-door police officers rushing over, finally, a terrifying black-haired monster rushed towards Yang Fang.

boom!
It had a terrifying breath, green eyes, and without saying a word, it just slapped Yang Fang with a slap when it came up.

Yang Fang frowned, unfolded his movements, disappeared in an instant, and then activated the power of vibration, the light in his palm was introverted, as if he had returned to the original, and landed on the back of the monster.

puff!

boom!
In an instant, the power of the Earth Mother erupted in an instant, and it oscillated more than ten times in a row.

It was as if a small earthquake had occurred in the monster's body. All the meridians, bones, and internal organs were shattered in one fell swoop. The seven orifices bled, the body froze, and it fell heavily to the ground.

However, after he fell to the ground, wisps of cold and strange black yin energy spewed out directly from the opponent's mouth.

Yang Fang's expression changed, and he instantly sensed something was wrong.

"Yin Qi?"

How can there be Yin Qi?

He was startled.

This yin energy seemed to be extremely similar to the evil god of the evil organization, which gave him an unusually familiar feeling.

"Impossible, it cannot be an evil organization."

His heart was turbulent, he stopped thinking about it, and continued to rush toward the depths.

But after he slapped a black-haired monster to death with one palm, soon two extremely terrifying black-haired monsters continued to rush towards Yang Fang from other directions.

Yang Fang's face was gloomy, and he continued to use the power of vibration to bombard and kill.

Yuan Gang, the purple-robed man, was right. You only need to shatter the bones, meridians, and internal organs of these monsters instantly, and they won't heal.

However, after killing the two monsters again, the uneasiness in Yang Xin's heart became stronger.

These two monsters are the same as the previous one.

After dying, he exhaled Yin Qi again.

Just as Yang Fang continued to rush forward, suddenly, his face changed, and he raised his head directly with a feeling.

Not only him.

The other people who rushed in together, all aware of the scene in the sky, all exclaimed.

I saw purple light emerging from the sky above the palace, and a huge purple vortex appeared, shining brightly like an endless starry sky, covering the top of the palace, gathering starlight from the sky, and descending towards the palace.

A group of elders from the Vault of Heaven Palace reacted first.

The three-eyed man's eyes also froze, and a terrifying light shot out instantly.

"Someone is trying to take the last step!"

He cried out.

"what?"

The girl in the black skirt next to her was shocked and couldn't believe it.

The purple vortex appeared in the palace, could it be the current emperor?
"Stop the emperor, the emperor wants to take the last step, he is about to succeed, stop him!"

Du Han, an elder of the Vault of Heaven Palace, yelled loudly, his voice was loud and full of anger.

He seemed to suddenly understand.

The so-called Headquarters of the Six Doors used god corpses to create masters, which should all be illusions deliberately released by the royal family.

The real god corpse should have been brought into the depths of the palace by the emperor, and was merging with himself.

He wanted to rely on the power of the god corpse's bloodline to help him suppress the curse, so as to temporarily gain the power beyond the third ladder.

Even if he only has this kind of power temporarily, it is enough for him to sweep everything away!
"Go and stop him!"

Du Han continued to roar.

Everyone else showed a look of shock.

what?
The emperor attempted to take the last step?
Just when their hearts were shaken, something worse happened suddenly.

Boom!

In all directions, black light emerged, eerie and strange, and the humming was piercing. Countless black mist erupted directly from the six-door headquarters, covering the sky and covering everyone in an instant.

Not just those who hit the six doors.

Even the own people in the headquarters with the six doors were covered.

In other words, the entire six doors were covered by a large formation.

"Myriad Spirits Evil God Formation!"

The voice of No. [-] suddenly sounded, looking extremely cold, saying: "The people of the imperial court have cooperated with the evil organization. Well, you actually did such a thing!"

He looked very angry.

Everyone was taken aback and couldn't believe it.

The imperial court cooperates with evil organizations?
How could this be?
Yang Xin's head sank, and he clenched his fists instantly.

damn it!
He really guessed it right!
No wonder he felt the familiar Yin Qi from those black-haired monsters.

These black-haired monsters were definitely not made with divine blood, they were made with sorcery, and all the previous news was false.

It was all deliberately released by the royal family!

He cursed inwardly.

It really makes sense for the royal family to survive for so many years.

The emperor was scheming and used everyone.

As for why you cooperate with evil organizations?

Naturally, it is related to interests!

As long as there is interest, what can't be done?
Even if you kill your father and enemies, you can't cooperate!
Covered in black mist in all directions, Yin Qi was bleak, everyone in the big formation showed panic, and soon realized that the true energy in their bodies was rapidly disappearing, as if being suppressed, as if their clothes and hair were out of control flurry.

"Oops, my true qi has been suppressed!"

"me too!"

"Myriad Spirits Evil God Formation, suppress everything!"

Many people screamed.

Only those from the six-door headquarters, because they had prepared in advance, not only were not suppressed at this moment, but under the influence of the big formation, their strength was three points stronger.

At this moment, everyone showed a thick smile and stared at the many strong men in front of them.

These guys used to be on top.

There will be today too!
Once their true qi dissipated, they would all be meat on the chopping block.

"Everyone, Zimou waited for a long time today, in order to catch everyone in one go, it is really not easy!"

A cold and indifferent voice suddenly came directly from the front of the crowd.

The black mist dissipated, and a tall, slender figure in purple robe slowly approached, with an indifferent face, majestic features, jet-black hair, and a terrifying aura.

The orthodox leader of the Dayuan Army, Zi Tianxiong!

When many people saw his figure, their faces turned pale, and they were uncontrollably terrified.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree!
This is definitely one of the most terrifying existences of the Dayuan Dynasty!

Even if they were not suppressed by the big formation, they would not dare to face each other.

"Zi Tianxiong, you guys are so calculating!!"

Du Han roared angrily.

"Compared to the calculations of your Firmament Palace, it is still far behind."

Zi Tianxiong's tone was cold.

"You are the descendants of the gods, and you cooperate with evil organizations? Such a depraved behavior, you are not afraid of triggering the anger of the ancestors of the gods!"

Du Han continued to roar.

"The dynasty is about to be overthrown, so why care about the means? As long as Da Yuan can keep his surname Zi, any means can be used. As for the ancestor getting angry, don't worry about it!"

Zi Tianxiong said coldly.

"Hahaha, what a pious Zi Tianxiong, really good!"

Du Han yelled angrily: "Everyone, there is no other way out today. The only way out is to join forces to surround and kill Zi Tianxiong. Only by killing him can there be a way out. Kill!"

boom!
His body was the first to rush towards Zi Tianxiong, his aura was terrifying, like a beam of light, and before his true energy dissipated, he quickly shot.

All the other masters of the Vault of Heaven Palace also roared and killed them.

"My lord, you are a descendant of the Celestial Clan, you cannot submit to death, if you want to die, you have to die standing up, do it!"

The woman in the black skirt said coldly.

A hint of sadness appeared on the face of the three-eyed man, and he said, "Why? Why are you still forcing me!"

"Go!"

The woman in the black dress continued to drink coldly.

The three-eyed man looked numb, raised his head, and rushed towards Zi Tianxiong.

At the same time, all the people in the imperial court and those black-haired monsters also started to kill the remaining people.

The entire Six Doors headquarters was once again in chaos.

Without saying a word, Yang Fang turned around and left, shuttled through the formation, and continued to quickly approach the direction of the god seed.

This time everyone was completely defeated.

All actions are firmly calculated by the dynasty.

But he can't just give up.

Whoosh!
Yang Fang rushed past and rushed directly to the deepest courtyard.

In his induction, the god-seed was located there.

When Yang Fang rushed over quickly, a No. [-] ladder was making a quick move, his hands were like eagle claws, and under the blessing of the big formation, he quickly tore away at the enemies in front of him.

Puff puff!
Ah!
People continued to die tragically under his pair of eagle claws.

His name is Wang Biao, nicknamed [Golden Eagle God Catcher], he is well-known in the entire Sky Domain, he is cold and ruthless, extremely terrifying, with a pair of eagle claws and eagle eyes, he has killed countless thieves.

Especially his eagle eyes!
Almost no details can be hidden from him!
suddenly!

He noticed Yang Fang's body, his eyes turned cold, and his body quickly approached.

Yang Fang rushed all the way, and finally rushed into the courtyard, his eyes flashed.

It's here!
He directly closed his eyes to sense the gods.

At this moment, there was a sharp neighing sound from behind him. Even if the true energy was suppressed, Yang Fang felt the sensation immediately. He turned around suddenly, his eyes were cold, and his broad palm was pushed out horizontally, with extremely terrifying power. , Slapped towards the opponent's body.

The golden eagle catcher Wang Biao snorted coldly, his hands were like afterimages, mixed with terrifying power, and his breath was terrifying, he instantly grabbed Yang Fang's wrists.

"roll!"

Boom!

The sound roared and buzzed, filled with the power of heaven, and oscillated throughout the entire formation.

The body of the golden eagle catcher Wang Biao suddenly paused slightly, his mind roared, he was in a daze, and his soul seemed to be separated from his body.

not good!

He yelled in his heart.

Losing his soul for a moment is already fatal to him.

Click!

boom!
There were two muffled sounds in a row, Wang Biao spurted blood, and his body flew upside down in an instant, smashing hard in the distance like a broken sack, and he died on the spot.

Yang Fang's palm first broke his arms, and then fell on his heart in an instant. The power of the shock burst out, shattering his entire heart on the spot, causing him to die instantly.

Although the zhenqi was suppressed, the god-seed was still active!
After Yang Fang instantly killed Wang Biao with one move, he immediately turned around, his face indifferent, and continued to sense with all his strength.

Shouting Sha Zhentian behind him, amidst the roar of his voice, he remained motionless, his body seemed to be trapped in a void, and the three major gods and dao maps in his body were all vibrating, releasing traces of mysterious and unpredictable power.

suddenly!

Boom!

The ground shook like an earthquake.

A strange black light shot up from the ground in an instant, like black lightning, filled with unspeakable divine power, the movement was astonishing, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Then, amid the exclamation of everyone, the strange black light rushed directly towards Yang Fang's body, merged with Dao Tu, and entered his body instantly.

Ah!
Yang Fang couldn't help but let out a scream again, echoing around, his body bent down instantly, as if he was in great pain.

God Seed: Darkness (breathing and turning into shadow, dark vortex).
