Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 121 A glimmer of hope, deep in the Blue Mountains!
The original plan was to first follow the route of Tilan Mountain to reach Huangzhou Prefecture, and then head east from Huangzhou Prefecture to Zhongzhou.

But now, most of the enemies should have guessed his plan to go to Zhongzhou, and they must have set up a tight net along the way.

Without the suppression of the ruins' restrictions, he could now kill a martial artist at the seventh level of martial arts by sneak attack.

But if facing a siege, a group of warriors above the third level of martial arts can wear him out to death, and even if they cannot kill him, they can still hold on to him.

His whereabouts must not be exposed, otherwise he will have to face the hunt from all the forces in Dayu!

The only plan for now is to continue along the direction of Tilan Mountain, pass Tilan Mountain, walk along Wangyue Mountain to enter the grassland where the Muyun Kingdom was originally located, then detour to Beihuangliangzhou, and then go south from Liangzhou to Zhongzhou.

Although this would take a long detour, it would definitely disrupt the enemy's encirclement plan.

It’s just this journey...

Looking at the map, he calculated carefully.

It is already the end of August, and the specific time for the entrance examination of the Ascension Association is the eighteenth day of the winter month.

In other words, I only have less than ninety days left.

Within ninety days, he had to cross the Tilan Mountain, Wangyue Mountain, cross the grasslands of Muyun Kingdom, pass through the Beihuangliang Province, and rush to the Zhongzhou Ascension Conference.

Even if you have obtained the pass to the Immortal Ascension Meeting but are unable to arrive on the assessment day, it will be regarded as giving up.

The price of giving up is that you will never be able to join the Ascension Society again in your lifetime.

I can't join the Ascension Society. Not only have I lost my last amulet, but the people in the Ascension Society probably know that I have first-grade martial arts skills. If they get involved...

Fang Xu didn't dare to think about it at all.

After some calculations, he determined that by following this route, he had a great chance of reaching the Ascension Meeting before the entry test. He put the map away and headed straight ahead.

Tilan Mountain is vast and deep, so Fang Xu didn't dare to get too close.

After all, there have always been many rumors circulating about the existence of monsters in the depths of Tilan Mountain.

High-level ferocious beasts already have the strength to rival martial artists, and monsters that are stronger than high-level ferocious beasts are definitely not weaker than martial masters among humans.

Unable to go deeper inside, Fang Xu kept moving forward along the range where high-level ferocious beasts were active.

Although you will often encounter high-level ferocious beasts comparable to martial artists when walking in this direction, they only have strength comparable to martial artists, but they are not real martial artists.

With Fang Xu's current strength, it is not a problem to deal with it.

The advantage of this location is that warriors whose cultivation level is lower than that of martial artists dare not go deep into this place.

Compared with warriors above the martial arts master level, there are more martial arts apprentices and those who have not reached the martial arts apprentice level.

Although these warriors cannot pose much threat to him, they are all pairs of living eyes and mouths. Once his whereabouts are discovered by them, he will definitely face the pursuit of a large number of martial artists and martial masters.

Roar!
While moving quickly in the dense forest, Fang Xu suddenly heard a low animal roar coming from the dense forest on the left side in front of him.

Swish!
There was a flash of light in his hand, and he immediately took out the long stick and held it in his hand.

Wow! Wow!
The ferocious beast hiding in the bushes ahead seemed to have discovered his trace, and its terrifying body completely ignored the dense bushes ahead and rushed towards him recklessly!
Fang Xu held a long stick in his hand and carefully felt the breath of the ferocious beast in front of him. He focused his eyes and rushed forward directly!
In front of the dense bushes, Fang Xu rushed up and without waiting for the ferocious beast to show up, he stomped his feet suddenly, jumped high, and smashed the bushes with the long stick in his hand with a sharp whistling sound!
boom!
The sharp long stick broke through the bushes and hit a ferocious beast as big as a buffalo with sharp spikes on its back!

After being hit by the stick, a piece of the hard bone spur on the beast's back was broken, but the root was not injured.

Roar!
After a strange cry, the ferocious beast suddenly shook its body, and all the spikes on its back instantly left its body, shooting towards Fang Xu like arrows!

Fang Xu quickly stepped on his toes and retreated violently, while the long stick in his hand danced like a windmill in front of him, blocking the spikes that were coming at him!
Why does this thing look like the porcupine I saw in my previous life?
Looking at the ferocious beast in front of him that looked like an enlarged version of a porcupine, this thought emerged in Fang Xu's mind.

After clearing away a large number of spikes, he suddenly kicked the thick tree behind him while retreating and rushed towards the ferocious beast in front of him!

Without its spikes, the beast became like a hedgehog with its quills pulled out, with only its huge size and a bit of intimidation remaining.

Fang Xu rushed out, and the long stick in his hand circled half a circle behind his back, then he raised it high and smashed it down on the head!
boom!
The terrifying force smashed the beast's head directly into the mud below!
Seeing the breath of life on it disappear in an instant, Fang Xu did not hesitate at all and quickly rushed forward.

He had a rough plan for taking this route.

In ten days, which is early September, he must reach Wangyue Mountain, then spend more than ten days crossing the grassland of Muyun Kingdom, and then spend another month crossing Beihuangliangzhou. In this way, he should arrive in Zhongzhou around early December.

Therefore, if you can avoid wasting time on the road, do it.

After easily killing the ferocious beast, his figure instantly disappeared into the jungle.

Two days later, a group of more than ten martial artists appeared in the jungle.

One of them was a warrior dressed as a hunter and holding a longbow. He frowned as he looked at the place not far away where Fang Xu had fought with the ferocious beast.

"Everyone, go over here and take a look."

Led by the hunter martial artist, everyone came to the place where the ferocious beast died tragically.

The hunter martial artist looked around at the sharp thorns stuck in the surrounding tree trunks, and then looked at the porcupine whose head was smashed on the ground and whose flesh and blood had been devoured by other ferocious beasts.

"I remember reading in the information that this kid is good at using a long stick and has amazing strength..."

"Everyone, this beast was obviously killed on the spot by someone smashing its head with a stick."

Touching the marks left by the long stick on the ground and the smashed skull, the hunter martial artist instantly recalled Fang Xu's final blow.

From hunters, they enter the martial arts world and become martial artists. These warriors are all experts in tracking.

Through some traces, they were able to deduce the general scene at that time.

"Brother Qu, what you mean is that the kid didn't go down the mountain from nearby and go to Zhongzhou via Huangzhou Prefecture?" Among the martial artists, a middle-aged martial artist in black tights frowned and said.

The hunter named Qu stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and looked at the direction where Fang Xu left. He said, "Based on the current situation, that kid not only possesses first-grade martial arts, but also schemed to kill the martial masters of various major forces. It can be said that 99% of the forces in Dayu are hunting him down."

"With the Immortal Gate Pass to the Ascension Meeting, it is well known that he must be going to Zhongzhou Ascension Meeting to participate in the entrance examination at the end of the year."

"As long as he is not stupid, he will definitely be able to guess that there will be a net set up by various major forces waiting for him on the road from Huangzhou Prefecture to Zhongzhou."

"Brother Qu, do you mean that he knows this road is difficult to travel and plans to take a detour?" the black-clad warrior asked again.

The hunter named Qu nodded and said, "If we continue along this mountain path at full speed, we can reach the junction of Tilan Mountain and Wangyue Mountain in ten days at most. That is the border of Qingzhou."

"Leave Qingzhou, head southeast, and reach the Lin River. There are three roads that can lead to Zhongzhou."

As the hunter named Qu spoke, he took out a map and drew an arc on it, saying, "This kid escaped from the ruins and headed for Zhongzhou. Most people would go to the three directions of Zhongzhou and intercept him along the way. Few people would have thought that this kid would go around to Qingzhou and then turn back to Zhongzhou."

The warriors around him listened to his confident speculation and all felt that it made sense.

"What should we do now?" someone asked.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the hunter named Qu smiled and said, "Follow the mountain to chase in the direction of Wangyue Mountain. You can also notify the forces behind you to make adjustments and set up defenses at the exits of Wangyue Mountain."

Hearing his words, everyone present nodded.

Fang Xu was running quickly in the vast mountains. Choosing this road turned out to be just as he expected. After walking for a few days, apart from some blind beasts harassing him occasionally, he did not see any other warriors on the way.

However, just when he was considering whether he should move to the periphery to speed up his journey, he unexpectedly discovered several figures walking towards him in the dense forest ahead.

When he saw someone, Fang Xu's expression changed slightly. He jumped a few times and quickly hid in the crown of a towering tree.

The figures in front were getting closer and closer, and soon they were not far from the big tree where Fang Xu was hiding.

But these people did not notice him.

"Dad, the reward we get from going into the mountains this time should be enough for my brother to break through to the martial arts realm." Among the group of people, a dark-skinned young man holding a spear and a longbow on his back whispered to an elderly hunter beside him.

The old hunter glanced at the other warriors around him, but he did not have the optimism of his son. Instead, he sighed with some concern.

"You two, stop just chatting and pay attention to the traces around you!"

The martial artist at the martial master level beside the old man shouted at him.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm watching you." The old man smiled with some fear and bowed to the warrior.

Seeing this, the warrior didn't say anything more.

"Damn, that kid can really run..."

Another warrior looked at the dense forest around him where there was almost no sunlight and complained impatiently.

"Okay, stop complaining!"

"The Patriarch said that if we can find that boy's whereabouts, we can be promoted to core disciples directly!"

"After becoming core disciples, we can practice the family's method of collecting and replenishing energy. Then... hehe..."

The method of collecting and replenishing?

Hearing the warrior's words in the dense canopy of the tree, Fang Xu immediately understood that this group of people should be the warriors of the Lu family.

From their words, Fang Xu got a very important message!
The Lu family seemed to have guessed that he did not come down the mountain from Huangzhou, so they chose to spread a big net here, waiting for him to crash in!
It seems that there are experts among the people chasing me.

Glancing at the people not far away, Fang Xu thought for a moment.

Including the old hunter and his son, there were eleven people in the group.

Among the nine people from the Lu family, three were martial artists at around the fifth level, and the rest were martial artists at the seventh level to the great perfection level.

If I take action, I have a 70% chance of destroying them all.

However, this type of search team often conducts a carpet search, and there must be other teams nearby. If the noise of the battle is not well controlled, it will inevitably alert other teams.

Still can't do it! After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Xu chose to continue to restrain his breath and prepare to make plans after the next few people left.

A group of people gathered around the old hunter and his son, searching forward bit by bit.

The old hunter's eyes suddenly swept across a broken dead branch and saw a faint footprint. Following the footprint, he slowly glanced forward and soon noticed the towering tree where Fang Xu was hiding.

On the trunk of the big tree, the old hunter vaguely saw the point where Fang Xu used to gain leverage when climbing the tree!
Seeing this scene in the tree canopy, Fang Xu's face changed slightly!

be found!
The eyes of these hunters are really poisonous!

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he slowly tightened the long stick in his hand, calculating how to kill this group of people as quickly as possible based on their positions!

Looking up at the dense tree canopy, the old man looked a little solemn.

All forces in Dayu now seem to be hunting down a warrior named Fang Xu. The old man has also heard some things about Fang Xu. It is rumored that he killed nearly a thousand people from various forces in the ruins, including some big figures at the Martial Honor level. He is a fierce man!

The group of Lu family warriors who found him and his son and promised them a large sum of money to go into the mountains were most likely looking for the warrior named Fang Xu.

The old man is now certain that there is someone hiding in the crown of the tree, but he is not sure whether this person is the warrior named Fang Xu.

He now understood only one thing.

If the person on the tree is really Fang Xu, once I point him out, the other party will definitely kill him.

The warriors of the Lu family are definitely no match for those big names at the Martial Honor level. Once the two sides come into contact with each other, his life and his son will surely be wiped out!
can not say!
Absolutely not!
Although the reward promised by the Lu family is very high, you have to live to spend the money.

"Old man, did you find anything?"

Seeing the old hunter standing by the tree in a daze, a warrior not far away shouted.

"No...nothing."

The old man quickly withdrew his gaze, smiled and left the tree.

The warrior glanced at him suspiciously and walked straight towards the tree.

"My Lord, is it really nothing!?"

The old hunter's heart sank when he saw this, and he quickly spoke with a smile.

But the more he said this, the more the warrior felt that something was wrong. He pushed the old hunter away and went straight to the big tree where Fang Xu was hiding, looking up at the treetops.

call!
Just as he raised his head, a long stick like a poisonous snake suddenly emerged from the dense tree canopy!
Following closely behind the long stick is Fang Xu!
puff!
Although the long stick did not have a sharp front end, under Fang Xu's terrifying strength, it pierced through the warrior's head and came out from his chin!
After killing the warrior with one blow, Fang Xu suddenly squatted down, and then like a nimble monkey, dragging a blood-stained stick in one hand, he kicked his feet suddenly and killed the remaining people!
Bang!
When passing by the old hunter, he slapped out with his left hand, killing the old man on the spot!

Although the old hunter did not choose to reveal his hiding place at the last moment, Fang Xu had no intention of letting him go.

After killing the old hunter, his speed was not affected at all, and he instantly rushed among the Lu family warriors!
The long stick in his hand swept towards the legs of the warrior closest to him!
After breaking the warrior's legs and sending his body flying, the long stick hit him hard on the chest!
Bang!
The terrifying force turned the warrior into a flesh cannonball and crashed into another warrior next to him!
With a long stick swung behind his back, Fang Xu flashed and appeared next to the other two martial artists!

Under the horrified gaze of the two men, the long stick in his hand smashed down on their heads!

boom!
The terrifying force directly smashed the two men’s heads!

"It's that boy!"

"Quick...quickly send a signal!"

Several warriors were standing too far apart, and after Fang Xu quickly killed five of them, he still gave one of them a chance to speak!

A sharp whistle sounded in the jungle!
Although the whistle stopped abruptly after it sounded for a moment, it was eventually heard!

After quickly dealing with the few people in front of him, including killing the old hunter's son, Fang Xu quickly left.

He had just left for more than ten breaths when another wave of warriors rushed in from the jungle not far away.

This group of warriors came up and looked at the people who had died tragically, their faces couldn't help but become solemn.

"Quickly notify others!"

One of the warriors spoke up immediately after realizing the seriousness of the problem.

All of a sudden, the accompanying warriors rushed in all directions.

Fang Xu looked grim as he fled the battlefield.

His whereabouts were exposed, and he knew very well that what he would face next would be endless pursuit!

The Lu family is the second most powerful family in Dayu after the royal family, and the number of warriors under them is absolutely terrifying.

In addition, they also have the right to mobilize the government troops.

escape!
We must escape from here as soon as possible!

With all the energy and blood in his body mobilized, Fang Xu shuttled through the dense jungle and ran forward.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The warriors around who received the news soon discovered his whereabouts, and they all chased after him desperately!
Fortunately, the additional agility attribute on Fang Xu's panel reached 158 points. With the blessing of these 158 points of agility attribute, his speed is not much slower than those warriors in the fifth level of martial arts.

These warriors chased and shouted.

"Here! That kid is over here!"

"Hurry, let the people in front stop him!"

"Surround him! Surround him! Don't let him get away!"

As they shouted, more and more warriors joined in. From a God's perspective, these warriors who had arrived were gradually forming an encirclement and trapping Fang Xu in this dense forest!

Looking at the pursuers getting closer and closer, Fang Xu knew that he couldn't go on like this and he had to break out!
His body suddenly changed direction, holding a long stick in his hand, he rushed directly towards several warriors whose cultivation level was at the third level of martial artist on the left!
"Be careful, this kid is very strong!"

These warriors were also very cunning. They knew that Fang Xu had the strength to fight against martial artists, so they did not engage in a head-on fight with him. They attacked by using their energy to leave their bodies while desperately retreating!

Looking at the knife and sword beams flying towards him, Fang Xu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He did not avoid them and rushed towards them!

As he was watching the sword and knife light approaching, a dark light suddenly flashed in front of him!
The next moment, a huge dragon scale shield appeared out of thin air!

puff!
puff!
The sword light and the knife light slashed on the dragon scale shield, leaving only white marks, without causing any impact on Fang Xu's speed!

While blocking these attacks, his body had already arrived in front of several martial artists.

The burning energy and blood in the body began to circulate, and the next moment, the strange long stick in his hand turned slightly red!
boom!
One stick comes out!

The scorching power caused the space in front of him to distort.

The long stick hit one of the martial artists who was at the third level of martial arts, and he was beaten to death without even making a sound!

At the same time as the long stick hit the martial artist at the third level, Fang Xu's left fist also punched the martial artist next to him!
The energy and blood in his body quickly rushed to his left arm. The next moment, a fist force with a faint red glow actually broke out of his fist and hit the martial artist's chest directly!
"Energy leaving the body?"

"You have made a breakthrough to become a martial artist!?"

After being hit by Fang Xu's punch, the martial artist was seriously injured but not dead. He shouted with horror on his face.

All warriors involved in the manhunt have already learned the detailed information about Fang Xu.

The news showed that Fang Xu was only at the sixth level of martial arts, but he was born with supernatural powers and had the ability to fight against martial artists.

But the strength of the martial artist who was fighting was not that of a martial artist. At least he could not let the martial artist's unique energy leave his body.

It’s different now. Seeing the punch that Fang Xu threw out, the martial artist was scared!

Fang Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He flashed up to him and punched the martial artist again!
Seeing this, the martial artist wanted to dodge, but he felt a burning sensation in his meridians!

"Do not……"

With a look of horror on his face, he wanted to say something when a huge fist hit him directly on the head!
The terrifying force directly crushed his head, and the martial artist died tragically on the spot!

After dealing with the two men, Fang Xu didn't stop at all and escaped directly from the gap in the encirclement!

Seeing this, other warriors around chased after him again!

At the same time, in Qingzhou city, perhaps after receiving reports from the warriors in the mountains, seven figures with the aura of a martial arts master flew out from the Lu family mansion and headed towards the Tilan Mountain in the distance!

A warrior at the Martial Master level can easily cover a distance of several feet with a quick fly. And for a warrior who has reached the Martial Honor level, this ability is even stronger. It is not difficult for them to fly a hundred feet with a single burst.

Although Fang Xu didn't know that the Lu family's Martial Master had already set off, his whereabouts had been revealed. He knew very well that it was only a matter of time before the Martial Master would take action.

Therefore, the direction he chose to escape now was the interior of Tilan Mountain!
Rumor has it that there is a monster deep in Tilan Mountain!

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not dare to get close, but now it is different.

Once a powerful martial arts master gets the news and comes to kill him, there will be absolutely no chance of escape.

If you are caught, you are doomed to die, but if you escape to the depths of Tilan Mountain, you may have a chance of survival if you are lucky.

As he burst out with all his strength, his speed increased. The martial artists chasing him suddenly discovered that they had come to a mountain stream so deep that the bottom could not be seen.

Seeing with their own eyes Fang Xu suddenly explode, leap across the mountain stream, land on the opposite cliff and disappear, the faces of the many martial artists who were chasing him turned a little ugly!

"That kid is crazy! The other side is a restricted area!"

"We can't chase them anymore. I heard from Master Qi that there is a group of demon apes living in the restricted area opposite. Among those beasts, there are some who are as powerful as martial masters!"

"What should we do now?"

"Wait, wait until the martial master of the family arrives!"

On the other side of the mountain stream, many warriors of the Lu family chased here and stopped. No one dared to cross the mountain stream to chase to the other side.
