Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 153 The killing intent from the Shao family

Next copy, this time he found a magnificent big house, located in the very center of Weng's mansion, which is special that can be seen at a glance.

"This should be the residence of the current head of the Weng family." Xu Gu'an made a reasonable inference based on the actual situation.

"There are thieves!" The two guards at the door shouted when they saw Shen Xi and Weng Yan.

The next moment, they were instantly killed by Shen Xi and Weng Yan.

However, the team has also exposed its tracks, so it cannot be delayed for too long.

Once the masters of the Weng family gather together, the end will only be the same as the previous two times.

Xu Gu'an manipulated Shen Xi to break into the door directly, and what he saw was an empty hall with no one in it.

The tables and chairs are placed neatly without leaving any dust, gold, silver and porcelain are everywhere, just two words, extravagant.

"Who trespassed on the owner's residence!"

At the side door, a ferocious man with a copper hammer rushed out, rushing towards the two of them like a bull.

He is the family general in the mansion, directly under the head of the family, and is extremely powerful.

Xu Gu'an also seemed to be a master of Yijinjing.

He has seen too many battles between Shen Xi and these Weng family masters, and now he can roughly distinguish the opponent's tendon-yielding rank.

This famous general has at least reached the second stage of Yi Jin, with great strength and good flexibility at the same time.

It's just that in terms of combat power and talent, Shen Xi is above him, plus Weng Yan is a helper.

Soon, the famous general had several blood holes pierced by sharp swords.

If this injury were placed on other body refiners, they would not be able to die even if they were seriously injured.

But on this famous general, he was stunned as if he had suffered a slight injury, his eyes were staring like copper bells, even if the blood spurted from his mouth, it could not weaken his offensive at all.

The copper hammer in his hand seemed to have a mighty force, opening and closing, extremely fierce.

"Stop!" A loud shout suddenly exploded in the front hall.

Xu Gu'an saw an elderly man in a lavender robe and a jade bead crown came out, looking close to fifty.

With a stern face full of anger, he stared at the two Shen Xi who had injured his general.

"Could this person be the head of the Weng family, Weng Xiaoyang?!" Xu Gu'an had never met the head of the Weng family, but only heard about it.

Seeing such majesty, the person in front of him felt that it was very likely.

Shen Xi also seemed to be aware of the huge threat from this person, and the sword in his hand became a little bit fiercer. He did not hesitate to exhaust his physical strength, used his martial arts, stabbed two swords quickly, and finally beheaded the famous general.

"You!" The elder was furious, drew out a long knife and rushed towards Shen Xi and the two.

The three confronted each other, and after several moves, Weng Yan was beheaded by the opponent.

After dozens of moves, Xu Gu'an withdrew from the dungeon.

"It's so strong! I'm afraid it has reached the fifth stage of Yijin, or even the sixth stage of Yijin!" Xu Gu'an made a comparison and estimated in his heart.

Before Shen Xi faced all the tendon-yielding masters of the Weng family, none of them could be so strong.

"This person is likely to be the final instance boss."

Xu Gu'an was not reconciled, so he tried again, and it was still in the front hall. In the end, even though Shen Xi, who had learned a battle experience, teamed up with Weng Yan, he was still no match for the opponent.

It can't even last fifty strokes.

In this way, he also understood that with Shen Xi's current combat strength, he was still far behind the Weng's Mansion, and needed to be upgraded by another level.

Thinking of this, Xu Gu'an couldn't help sighing secretly, this third-tier copy is really difficult, the three major families have been in the town for so long, it is not unreasonable, it seems that they have to wait for customs clearance.

"How long has it been since I cleared the level?"

Xu Gu'an misses the days when there were dungeons to pass the level.

"I heard that there is another defeated force in the northern area of ​​Zhenbei. It seems to be quite strong. Maybe you can go and have a look again, maybe you can open a new instance."

He had been unable to get the customs clearance reward for the dungeon for a long time before, which caused his improvement in martial arts to stagnate to a certain extent.

The two white practice point cards bought by two traveling merchants who met randomly in half a year.

One got four practice points, but the other one was so unlucky that he was so lonely that he didn't get any practice points.

With only four practice points, Xu Gu'an couldn't even practice the Tianluo Saber Technique to the Dacheng state.

Therefore, Xu Gu'an decided to find another way and try to find other copies.

With the current strength of the two core cards Shen Xi and Weng Yan, if they can still find a Tier [-] dungeon, they can basically complete the level with their eyes closed.

Getting such a customs clearance reward can help Xu Gu'an a lot at the moment.

In his opinion, it is best to complete a wave of customs clearance before the first big exam in March to strengthen his martial arts level.

When the freshmen met martial arts before, he didn't set too high a goal for himself, and he was satisfied with getting the top three seats.

But now that a year has passed, he has higher requirements for himself in this big exam.

It's not about striving for the upper reaches, the top three seats.
But the first in the same session!

Even if there are Shen Xi and Weng Yan in the same class who are rarely seen in the town, he must be the number one.

Just because he thought he could do it.

If this is the case, it is really unnecessary not to fight for a fight, but to be inferior to others deliberately.

Before the big exam, I want to strengthen my martial arts level again in order to seek stability.

At present, his set of Xiaocheng-level Tianluo swordsmanship has no advantage in martial arts against Shen Xi and Weng Yan, and it even has a shortcoming that needs to be supplemented by him.

There was a decision in his heart, a few days later, Xu Gu'an went to the inn and took away his Qingling horse.

Speaking of which, he hadn't left the town for a while, and he was used to living a comfortable life, so he almost forgot the air in the wild.

The sky is a bit cloudy today, with black clouds coiling around, and there seems to be a sign of rain.

The cold wind is howling, and now it is at the turn of spring and winter, and the temperature occasionally fluctuates.

Today is colder than the previous few days, and it doesn't look like a good day to go out.

However, Xu Gu'an just stepped on a spot to see the situation. It would be best if there is a copy in the north of the town. Without him, he wouldn't stay for a long time.

He had been there before, and both the north and the south appeared to be relatively chaotic, with various forces intricately intertwined.

The ordinary residents of the town did not dare to approach it at all, and Xu Gu'an did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and waste his time and energy.

Galloping all the way, now the snow and ice in the field have melted, and the road is very smooth.

It seemed that Qinglingma hadn't felt the vastness of the wild for a long time, and it was quite exciting to run and gallop this trip.

About two hours later, Xu Gu'an arrived near the gathering place of the defeated army.

Leaving the Qingling horse in place, Xu Gu'an went alone for the rest of the way.

From a distance, he saw the place where the defeated army was stationed, a large area of ​​barracks and wooden houses lined up in neat rows.

It was completely different from the bandit stockade and the camp of the Storm Gang that Xu Gu'an had seen before.

Obviously this place is more well-trained, with the discipline and rigor of a regular army.

The chaos here before has also been swept away.

"No wonder the three major families are so afraid of this place." Xu Gu'an watched from a distance for a while, and said to himself.

The original troops here may have already been recruited, coupled with the new army, they have formed a new powerful force, standing on the boundary of Donglan Mountain, threatening the entire Donglan Town.

Looking around, Xu Gu'an took action.

A team of soldiers in armor and armed with spears stood guard at the farthest point from the camp.

Their faces were a bit curly, they looked tired, and they didn't communicate much.

"After this circle, let's go back." The captain said.

Only then did the people shake their spirits, and one of them yawned and went to relieve himself under a big rock.

The team continued to move forward, no surprise.

When this person was about to release, suddenly a hand appeared from behind the boulder, locked his throat like lightning and dragged it to the other side of the boulder.

This person is Xu Gu'an, and the other party is already in a coma.

Xu Gu'an put on the opponent's armor and equipment, lowered the iron brim of the helmet, and quickly followed the team, walking at the end.

Several people in the team did not perceive his abnormality.

Just like that, Xu Guan followed the patrol and approached the camp.

[Ding, the new copy of the defeated camp has been opened, please check it yourself! 】

The pleasant reminder sounded, making Xu Gu'an feel better immediately.

A dungeon really appeared as he had imagined. There was no dungeon here when he came here before.

"It seems that this defeated army has been recognized by the game system and meets the conditions for dungeon generation." Xu Gu'an pondered in his mind.

Seeing that the following team was about to enter the camp, he took advantage of people not paying attention and very naturally changed to a team that was going out, and followed at the end.

He is only interested in the copy here. In reality, he doesn't want to explore this defeated army camp.

He looked around from the corner of his eye, and if someone noticed something strange, he would run away immediately.

"Huh?" Xu Guan turned his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly fell to one side of the camp.

He saw a slightly familiar figure inside.

"Why is he here?" Xu Gu'an was a little puzzled.

The man looked young, with a faint smile on his face, and he was walking with a dignified camp general in full armor.

This young man was exactly the disciple of the Shao family whom he had fought against once in Dao Dao Academy, the high-ranking number Shao Zetian who had returned from the Grandmaster Martial Arts Academy back then.

I heard that the senior account trained by the Shao family only stayed in the town for a few days, and then returned to the Grand Master Martial Arts Academy.

Why did you see this person in this defeated army camp today?

"Shao's family?" Many thoughts appeared in Xu Gu'an's mind.

He was not sure what this person wanted to do in the defeated army camp, whether he represented himself or the entire Shao family behind him.

"Should I tell others about this matter, and who should I tell?"

Seeing that Shao Zetian and the general entered a barracks, Xu Guan looked away, thinking a lot.

This matter was mainly unclear to him, but he only caught a glimpse of Shao Zetian who appeared here, so he didn't know the whole story.

It doesn't make much sense to talk to people rashly, and others may not listen to what he said.

It is more likely that it will attract the hostility of Shao Zetian and even the entire Shao family.

"Forget it, what are you thinking about so much." Xu Gu'an shook his head, remembering this matter in his heart, and he will not mention it to anyone for the time being until he knows the whole picture.

Soon, he left the camp and changed back to his clothes.

He took out his phone and checked it.

[Dungeon: Defeated Army Camp]

[Difficulty: Level [-]]

"It's actually another third-tier dungeon." Xu Gu'an thought it was a second-tier dungeon, but he didn't expect it to be a third-tier dungeon.

In this way, he only hoped that the difficulty of this new third-tier dungeon would not be as high as the three dungeons in the town.

Just when Xu Guan was about to blow the whistle, he suddenly noticed a gust of wind blowing grass on the hillside not far away.

The cold wind hit the face, and even in the cloudy weather, there was still a drizzle of rain.

A layer of mist covered the grassland, making the visible range on the ground hazy.

Xu Gu'an stood where he was, and the whistle on his lips was not blown.

The hunting instinct made him feel something was wrong, and his gaze kept on that hill.

"Do you want me to invite you out?" After a while, Xu Gu'an said, the voice was not loud, and it just reached the top of the hill.

On the back slope of the hill, Shao Li frowned, but rather simply, he got up and walked out, his eyes fixed on Xu Gu'an.

"How did you find me?"

Xu Gu'an didn't answer him, his face was cold and quiet.

It can be seen that the person who came from the other party is not good, and it is aimed at him, and has been lying in ambush here for a long time.

Seeing that Xu Gu'an didn't answer him, Shao Li didn't want to waste any more time, so as not to cause any trouble.

He drew out his long knife, and his killing intent manifested itself.

With a movement of his body and explosive speed, he dived straight to Xu Gu'an from the hillside.

There are eight clearly visible bone marks on his back, neatly arranged, representing his state of body training.

Bone Eightfold Body Refiner!
Xu Gu'an's right hand had already rested on the handle of the knife at his waist and was ready to go. When he saw the other party rushing, he was not polite, and he exerted force with his feet, and the moon bow step of perfection broke out in an instant!
He flew past like a cheetah at extreme speed, and the airflow from the impact bent the long grass on both sides.

clang!
The long knife was unsheathed, and with an extremely sharp knife, it split the air from bottom to top, and many long grasses that grew up to the thigh were cut off in unison.

The two long knives collided in the air, bursting into sparks.

Shao Li staggered, but was repelled by the counter-shock force of the knife.

"Bone six! But what kind of power?!" Shao Li was extremely surprised.

With just a single head-on confrontation, he, who is experienced, can see that Xu Gu'an's cultivation level is at the sixth level, which is one level higher than what he thought.

But what made him even more unexpected was that in a head-to-head confrontation, in a competition of strength, he, an eight-layered body refiner, lost the upper hand!
I just felt incredible for a while.

Xu Gu'an had indeed made a lot of fame in the town before, and was known by countless people.

But in the final analysis, he is just a freshman who has just entered the martial arts academy for less than a year. No matter how talented he is, he will never be his opponent.

After finally waiting for Xu Guan to leave the town, he thought that the task would be easy to complete, but he didn't want it to be different from what he expected.

The blood on Xu Gu An's heart gradually spread to his chest.

Waves of heat surged, and power continued to grow!

In the next moment, he ignored the other party's expression and unleashed the Tianluo Saber Technique.

Every knife from both sides seemed to be powerful and heavy, with sparks flying everywhere.

But the opponent is only a white-quality martial arts, while Xu Gu'an is using a green-grade saber technique!
In terms of sophistication, he is much better than the other party!
"Unexpectedly, I will have a day when my martial arts level is overwhelming!" Xu Gu'an said to himself.

The opponent in the Eighth Bone Realm seems to be able to deal with it without using item cards or Luna Orbs? !

Is this person too weak among the body refiners in the eighth level of bones, or my strength has reached a certain level.
Logically speaking, every bone-forging transformation will greatly improve the strength of the body refiner.

Although it is difficult to complete the duel between the lower and the upper, it is still feasible, and it can be made up for by other advantages.

But if the gap is above the two levels of bone forging, this kind of duel is considered bullying. In a head-on confrontation, the possibility of the weaker side wanting to counterattack is very small.

This is a normal situation, but now Xu Guan feels that it is not the case.

In fact, since he reached the consummation state of his spells, he hasn't fought in any serious way.

It has been a long time since he has had such a contest with a body refiner outside of the martial arts academy.

Compared with those high-quality students selected by the martial arts academy.

The aptitudes of outsiders' body refiners vary. Under the same level of body refinement, their combat power is generally weaker than those high-quality students selected by the martial arts academy.

clang!
These thoughts in Xu Gu'an's mind just flashed by, and the black knife in his hand cut across the air, released like a silent black hole, and like the scythe of death, suppressing Shao Li, he was a little out of breath.

In desperation, Shao Li didn't care about other things, and stomped his foot heavily.

The Shao family's martial arts, the ground moves!

Xu Gu'an got close, but he felt his feet tremble, and his body was momentarily out of balance.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Li used the Shao family's saber technique.

As an ordinary general in the family, he is not qualified to learn the Shao family's green-grade inherited martial arts, but other Shao family's martial arts are also much better than those circulated by the outside world.

And more importantly, he has been practicing for decades, and he has already mastered the Shao family's martial arts.

At first, in order not to expose his identity as the Shao family, he didn't want to use it.

But now being forced into such a situation by Xu Gu'an, he has no choice but to use it.

Confronting Xu Gu'an with his proficient Shao family's martial arts, he finally stabilized a little.

The two quickly exchanged hundreds of moves, like two ruthless lawn mowers, a large area of ​​turf was lifted by them, and the battle marks on the ground were obvious.

The blood on Xu Gu'an's chest stretched more and more, and the blood marks became hotter and hotter, like an overheated engine running on overload.

"Death!" Shao Li swept out a sharp knife, pointing at Xu Gu'an's vitals.

Xu Gu'an's thighs exerted force, his muscles vibrated, and his feet exploded with full strength, stepping on a moon lunge.

boom!
The instant acceleration avoided Shao Li's knife.

"Not good!" Shao Li's knife missed, and his heart tightened suddenly.

He was too impatient, if the knife failed to cause any damage, then he would leave a big opening.

On one side, the black knife in Xu Gu'an's hand has been cut out.

Dao Technique·Tianluo!
The black knife light flickered, and it seemed to weave a black net before Shao Li's eyes, engulfing it.

This is a duel of swordsmanship!

Obviously, Qin Sanli's painstaking work, the Tianluo sword technique completely defeated the opponent!

In the end, he was successfully counter-killed by Xu Gu'an!

Xu Gu'an retracted the knife, and Shao Li's heart suddenly oozes blood, and he fell to the ground weakly.

"You!" Shao Li's breath quickly dissipated, and he was about to die.

He never thought that Xu Gu'an's strength could be improved so much.

"Why did the Shao family send you to assassinate me?" Xu Guan asked.

He knew the identity of the other party, he knew it when the other party first appeared, not the Shao family saber technique that the other party used.

It was because he had seen this person in the dungeon of the Shao Mansion, and he was a general trained by the Shao family in private.

The Shao family's sword technique used by the other party just proved that Xu Gu'an was right.

Shao Li was speechless, he knew that he would not survive, and he didn't want to reveal more information to Xu Gu'an.

"Quite loyal." Xu Gu'an stepped on his throat and killed him completely.

After blowing the whistle, the Qingling horse came galloping quickly.

Xu Gu'an threw the corpse on the horse's back and walked away.

He didn't intend to keep this corpse, and it must be destroyed.

In addition, he had to think about a problem.

Do you want to go back to town?

On the horseback, Xu Gu'an's eyes were cold.

He has no grievances with Shao Li, and there must be someone instigated behind it.

But that may not be the Shao family!

With the energy of the entire Shao family, if they really wanted to kill him, how could they send out an ordinary family general with eight layers of bone forging as a candidate so lamely.

Through exploring the dungeon, he knew how strong the background of these three masters was, and there were many masters in the clan.

It is absolutely possible to send one or even more Yijin-level powerhouses to ambush, and strive to kill with one blow, without giving Xu Gu'an the slightest chance of surviving.

Even the Shao family didn't need to wait for him to leave the town, they could set up a bureau in the town to kill him easily!

Why bother.

Therefore, he speculated that it wasn't that the Shao family wanted to kill him. In fact, his relationship with the Shao family was not so bad at all.

He judged that it might be someone in Shao's family who wanted to do something to him in private.

Following this line of thought, there are traces to follow.

Looking back on the year he came to the Martial Academy, the number of times he had contact with members of the Shao family can be counted on the fingers.

The two were quickly locked in my mind.

One was Shao Nianhua who had been defeated by him, and the other was Shao Zetian who behaved suspiciously.

Of the two, he was more inclined to be Shao Nianhua.

If it was Shao Zetian, with the strength of returning to Xinshou Village with his high-level title, if he wanted to kill him, he could definitely do it himself.

But Shao Nianhua had been defeated by him before, and his own strength was not good enough, so he could only send stronger people from the clan to assassinate him.

Therefore, Shao Nianhua's behind-the-scenes instigation is more likely.

"Just because I defeated him once, you can't tolerate me and want to kill me?" Xu Gu'an thought to himself.

If so, seriously. Damn it!

Xu Gu'an's eyes were cold, he was not a good person, and he couldn't do things like repaying grievances with kindness.

If someone wants to kill him, that is his enemy.

He has no reason to let the other party go.

He made a note of this matter, regardless of whether Shao Nianhua did it or not, he will investigate this matter thoroughly, and then... when he is strong enough, he will settle it!

The majestic image of the head of Donglan Wuyuan came to mind. Xu Gu'an, who went around the field and weighed it, finally returned to the town.

He noticed that in the town, the inspection team wearing Shao's costumes did not act abnormally in response to his return.

Everything is as if nothing happened.

Go to the inn and return the horse, then walk to the Wuyuan.

When he was approaching the Martial Academy, a man who looked like a domestic servant on the corner of the street suddenly left in a hurry.

Xu Guan, who was always paying attention to the surroundings, also looked at the back of the servant, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
