Chapter 279: Capital Bully Zhao Yan
Gu Xu sat quietly at the bottom of the whirlpool, concentrating on his cultivation.
Although he had long sensed Zhao Yan's arrival through the surrounding restrictions, there were times when practicing things like this couldn't be stopped just because he wanted to.
Perhaps it is because he learned from the "Karma Fire Sutra" of the Changshou Cult and improved the "Red Flame True Art".
While he was reciting scriptures, he always felt that the whole cave seemed to be echoing him.
Every word he spoke was like a military order.
After hearing the order, the fire in the river gathered around him immediately without hesitation, eager to show their loyalty to him. It seems that he is afraid that if he comes a second late, his head will be chopped off.
As for Zhao Yan and her "Holy Fire Totem", they were completely forgotten by them.
As time goes by, the current of flames becomes more and more turbulent.
They rushed into Gu Xu's meridians and merged with his dark red, if substantial, essence.
He vaguely felt that his blood was gradually heating up and approaching boiling, and his bones and flesh were being roasted and almost scorched.
His body seemed to have become a black hole swallowing all fire.
At the same time, in his conscious world, a complicated and obscure rune suddenly appeared.
It is dim in color and somewhat difficult to distinguish.
Gu Xu has never seen this rune before.
But when he saw it for the first time, he instantly understood its meaning -
"Hui Lu."
All this happened in just a few seconds. .
When he opened his eyes, he found that the surrounding flames had extinguished, the magma had solidified, and the temperature in the cave had also dropped rapidly.
But his body is filled with majestic energy.
Just now he climbed the 2560th step of "Homesickness Ridge" in one breath.
If others knew about his terrifying cultivation speed, their jaws would definitely drop.
"It seems that the energy in the entire river has been absorbed by me during my cultivation." Gu Xu took a deep breath and sighed silently in his heart.
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt a little strange.
Because in history, many people with higher realms than him have practiced here, absorbed more heat, and the magma has never dried up.
But he, a small third-level monk, was able to drain the entire Earth River.
Absolutely unbelievable!
"Perhaps the key to the problem is the rune called 'Hui Lu'?"
While thinking, he stood up, straightened his clothes, raised his head, and glanced at He saw Zhao Yan floating in the air holding a spear.
I saw her red dress fluttering in the wind, like the red clouds on the horizon at dawn.
From this angle, her exquisite and graceful figure curves can be seen clearly, and her plump and straight breasts form a sharp contrast with her voluptuous waist.
Looking at the dry river of magma, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth.
Zhao Yan's eyes are typical "fox eyes", with the ends of her eyes slightly upturned, naturally hazy and charming.
But at this time, her eyes were a little cold, and even had a fierce fighting spirit.
"Interesting." She chuckled.
In the past, when Zhao Yan was still running rampant in Luojing City, she once made a bold statement in front of the public that she would regard the world's heroes as her own whetstones.
At that time, whenever the monks of her generation in Luojing City saw her in this gorgeous red dress, they were all frightened and their hair stood on end.
Until three years ago, she was forcibly driven out of the capital by her father, Duke of Yan Zhao Changying, and sent to the Qi border guard army, saying that he wanted to "harden her character."
According to rumors, Zhao Yan was extremely arrogant and domineering at the time, and did not even listen to her father's words. This caused Duke Yan to use the power of a saint in anger, knock her out, tie her up, and put her in a sack. , and then successfully took her away.
That night, the young geniuses in Luojing rushed to the door of the statue of God to burn incense and worship, thanking God for his mercy and finally sending away this disaster star.
The rumors may be exaggerated.
However, Zhao Yan's "militant" attribute is not fake.
Gu Xu sucked up all the heat in the magma river, making her unable to continue to consolidate the "Holy Fire Totem" here, which undoubtedly made her a little annoyed.
But at the same time, she also began to be curious about Gu Xu's origin and true strength.
She couldn't help but think: This mysterious man in Tsing Yi could make such a big noise in this cave by himself, he must be no ordinary person. Maybe he is a good sharpening stone for me.
Anyway, she just has an excuse to fight now.
So without saying a word, she picked up the spear and flew towards the middle of the dry river. The blood-red skirt was like a blazing flame.
However, at this moment, she suddenly and inexplicably fell into a trance for a moment.
The next second, when she came back to her senses, the man in Tsing Yi disappeared out of thin air, and he was nowhere to be found. Zhao Yan's figure paused on the spot.
From a distance, it looks like a red butterfly hovering in the air.
"Interesting." She opened her red lips slightly and commented again.
Zhao Yan was promoted to the fifth level monk not long ago. Not only does she have the ability to leave the body, but her spiritual perception has also been greatly improved, and she can completely cover the entire cave.
But the man in Tsing Yi was able to get rid of her mental perception and slipped away quietly, which obviously proved that he was very strong. He had at least the fourth level of cultivation, and he probably also had a precious magic weapon that concealed his aura. Or a spell.
But for such a strong person, why did he just sneak away without even looking at me?
Zhao Yan frowned.
…………
Gu Xu’s idea is actually very simple.
If you can't fight, of course you have to run away.
Zhao Yan is truly a strong person in the fifth level.
If he met Chu Fengge, a fool who only wanted to be "number one in the world", Gu Xu might even try a few moves with him, just as a training exercise.
But Zhao Yan is different.
According to rumors in the capital, she never held back in fights before. Many young prodigies were injured and disabled by her, and some were even beaten to death by her.
So Gu Xu directly activated "Time" and "Meteor Walking on the Moon" without hesitation, and ran more than thirty miles away in an instant.
Since Zhao Yan's time is suspended when "Time" is turned on, she naturally cannot detect Gu Xu's escape path with her spiritual perception.
…………
In the cave.
After Gu Xu left, Zhao Yan also slowly fell back to the ground.
The training plan was terminated.
Now that the "Luoshui Conference" is approaching, Zhao Yan calculates the time in her mind and feels that it is time for her to go to the capital.
Luo Jing's new house should be almost completed.
Luo Jing's group of so-called "geniuses" may be gearing up and waiting to take revenge on her.
I heard that a young man named Gu recently came to Qingzhou Mansion, and he was very popular in Luojing. Both his peers and elders respected him highly, and his reputation was comparable to hers a few years ago.
In addition, Miss Liuli from Jiaofangsi, Mengdie Oiran from Baihua Tower, Moon Yin Dancer from Zuichun Pavilion... must have been waiting for her in the capital for a long time.
Zhao Yan has always hated having close contact with men.
In addition, Duke Yan was quite indulgent towards her.
Even after the Double Ten years, she is still not married.
One of her hobbies is to travel to various brothels, large and small, and discuss life with beautiful girls with different talents.
Although it is quite unconventional for women to visit brothels.
But if this woman is Zhao Yan, then no one will be surprised. Anyway, she has always been maverick and can do all kinds of weird things.
She often spends a lot of money in the brothel, and with her charming and sassy temperament, she is actually quite popular among courtesans.
After all, among the guests in the brothel, there are only a few handsome and talented people, and the majority are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen with big belly. Rather than serving them, the oirans are obviously more willing to spend time with the beautiful and wealthy Miss Zhao. Talked all night long.
Because Zhao Yan stole the favor of the brothel girls, many of Luo Jing's powerful children secretly hated her, but they did not dare to show it, and they only dared to say bad things about her behind her back.
…………
After leaving the cave and seeing the light of day again, Zhao Yan took off a delicate whistle hanging around her neck and blew it gently.
A few minutes later, a gust of wind roared up the canyon.
In that narrow sliver of sky, more than ten dazzling lights suddenly flashed, like thunder and lightning tearing apart the dark clouds and streaking across the vast expanse of sky.
Immediately afterwards, these lights turned into meteors in the sky, accompanied by the sound of "whooshing" airflow, dragging their afterimages, and landed not far in front of Zhao Yan.
It turned out to be more than a dozen monks dressed in black and flying with swords!
Their movements are exactly the same.
Standing together, they exude awe-inspiring power.
“I’ve met the eldest lady.” They all saluted Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, holding the spear, rising into the air, and pointing in the direction of Luo Jing.
“Let’s go!”
