Chapter Twenty-Four: Just One Breath Away


Chapter 24 is just a breath away Zhang Erye was in the dark well water.

He heard the rumbling sound of water behind him, and when he saw the light behind him completely darken, he knew that the mouth of the hexagonal well had been completely blocked by the fat merchant.

The well water was bitterly cold, and it would be extremely sad to open his eyes in this cold and deep water, but he still tried to keep his eyes open.

When the first boulder fell into the well, he had already burrowed into a hole at the bottom of the well.

At this moment, the only light behind him was completely dark, and he couldn't see clearly for a while, so he kept groping with his hands, swimming forward along the hole under the well as fast as he could.

His hand felt two forks in the cold water of the well, which could only be passed by one person, and without the slightest hesitation, his man was like a swimming fish, passing through the fork on the left.

If there is something that can illuminate the bottom of the water, you can see that the passage where Zhang Erye is swimming forward at the moment is a rugged underwater cave.

It was a natural underwater cavern created by the erosion of the rocks by the current, twisting and turning, and there were several places that were so small that only one person could pass through them.

Zhang Erye's eyes finally adjusted to the darkness slightly, and he could see the shape of the rock in front of him slightly, so his speed in the water was even more amazing.

His whole body seemed to have no bones, swinging in a strange rhythm from beginning to end, and his hands pressed the surrounding rocks from time to time, because of the speed, white torrents even formed outside his body, really like a white dragon in the river.

On land, running fast mostly depends on sustained explosiveness, but in water, in addition to strength, it takes special skill to swim fast.

Even a cultivator whose combat power was several times that of Second Master Zhang, if he saw that he had such a speed in the water, he would probably feel sincerely amazed.

However, a trace of despair and unwilling bitterness began to appear on Second Master Zhang's face.

This old well in Donggang Town is called Hexagonal Well.

According to some elderly people in Donggang Town, the bottom of this old well leads to the bottom of the Xizi River.

The origin of this saying is probably because the water level of this old well will rise and fall with the rise and fall of the water of the Xizi River.

He knew it was true.

Because when he was young, he actually dived into the bottom of this well, and then, with his water nature and the breath-holding ability of a cultivator, he did discover an underwater cave that could lead to the bottom of the Xizi River.

This cultivator in the army thought that it would be foolproof to not let him, the River Dragon King, get close to the water, and kill him, but he didn't expect that in this Donggang Town, there was such a waterway that could allow him, the sick Dragon King, to escape.

This is the true wisdom of a thousand thoughts, but there will be a mistake.

However, this fat businessman, who always had a "kind" smile on his face, was extremely accurate in his judgment of his physical condition.

In the past two years, he has closed his door, and his soul power cultivation has increased greatly, but because of the severity of his injuries, he has been unable to sleep day and night for the permanent damage to his lungs, and it is difficult to continue even long-term vigorous movements.

Ten years ago, he would have been able to swim through the long, winding underwater cavern and into the river.

His current body is really not done.

At this moment he knew that there was still about a third of the way to go, and he had been trying his best to keep his eyes open to see the road ahead as clearly as possible, and to swim as fast as he could, but although his eyes were open, his vision was becoming more and more blurred at the moment, and the black shadows of those jagged rocks gradually became distorted, like monsters with teeth and claws.

The sharp pain in his chest seemed to have been completely cut by a sharp blade, and the breath held in his lungs became hotter and hotter, like a flame about to explode, which seemed to be unable to provide any help to his body, but made his thinking more and more unclear and his reaction more and more sluggish.

He just subconsciously wanted to move forward, forward, to swim out of this underwater cave connected to the bottom of the river.

Suddenly, his body shuddered violently, his left hand to his mouth, and his right hand to his throat.

A breath of turbid air in his lungs was already unstoppable and ready to rush out of his mouth and nose.

Although his mind was not very clear at the moment, the remnants of his consciousness reminded him almost instinctively that if this breath rushed out, he would never be able to swim out of the cavern.

This breath is his life.

"Poof" His hands covered his mouth and nose, but streaks of blood poured out of his hands and melted into the dark river in front of him.

He forcibly held back this breath, but spurted out a mouthful of blood.

His sprinting body stopped in the water.

At this moment, his body was completely cold, wrapped in the dark and cold river, feeling lonely and desperate, he knew that he could no longer hold on, and was ready to meet the impending death.

He was unwilling.

This fat merchant has kept him awake day and night for several years, in a constant state of pain that he has never been able to breathe, but he still cannot escape today, and he will die at the hands of this man.

He began to reluctantly think about how to leave something on his body, so that Lin Xi knew that there was such a powerful cultivator who was preparing to deal with him, but when would his body float into the river, and Lin Xi would see him "Poof" A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth with a cloudy breath that he couldn't hold back.

Suddenly, he heard what seemed to be a strong current of water rushing in front of him with a strange sound.

He tried to open his eyes, and suddenly saw two large black shadows in front of him.

These are two big fish, one in front and one behind, two ferocious carnivorous rockfish, who probably smelled the blood in the water and made him come as prey.

His already dim eyes were instantly filled with light.

His right hand, which had already hung down, stretched out, and the two fingers pointed together like a sword, and stabbed directly into the belly of the big fish in front of him.

A large white swim bladder was pulled out of the belly of the fish and attached to his nose.

As if with a soft snort, the side of the swim bladder against his nose was broken by his breath.

He exhaled some turbid air, and the swim bladder that he was holding with one hand swelled even more, as if it was going to be powerful, but in an instant, under his inhalation, the swim bladder was suffocated, and the original gas inside was sucked by him.

The big fish in the back didn't realize until this moment that it wasn't their prey, but it found that it couldn't swim anymore.

Zhang Erye's single palm slapped out violently in the water, and a strong concussion made the fish that had escaped from his side instantly show a stiff posture in the water.

His person seemed to be injected with fresh vitality, and instantly came to the side of the big fish, and pulled out the big white swim bladder again.

Life and death are only one breath away.

For a cultivator like him, two breaths at this time can already change his life and death.

Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi lay flat on the hillside, looking at the stars in the night sky.

Because the matter has come to an end for the time being, and he has to wait for the news above, plus Jiang Xiaoyi will return to Huigu Town tomorrow, so after exhausting his physical strength by practicing in the river this night, Lin Xi did not meditate and practice as usual, but chatted with Jiang Xiaoyi.

Changing into clean and refreshing clothes, lying on the grass to watch the stars, and chatting with friends is also a very happy thing for him.

However, the calm was soon interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

A rugged man in a black silk shirt with his hair tied with a straw rope came in an extremely hasty posture in the night, and after bowing to Lin Xi who stood up, he quickly whispered a few words in Lin Xi's ear, and then turned around and walked to the side in the distance, waiting in the night.

"How" Jiang Xiaoyi suddenly felt that something unusual had happened again.

In the night, Lin Xi's brows were already frowning.

He seemed to be thinking about it repeatedly, weighing a certain issue, and after thinking about it for more than a dozen breaths, he raised his head, looked at Jiang Xiaoyi, and explained softly: "Second Master Zhang was assassinated in Donggang Town today This is Pu Feng, who is a person who specializes in helping Second Master Zhang, he still doesn't know what kind of relationship you have with me, probably because he is afraid of dragging you into the water, because the matter is urgent, and he doesn't know that it is inconvenient to tell you, so he just told me alone." ” Jiang Xiaoyi's brows suddenly furrowed, and said, "What is the situation now?"

"Second Master Zhang escaped, and now he is on the river."

Lin Xi took a deep breath, looked at the dark river, and said, "The other party has something to do with the military, if I am not mistaken, it should be invited by Wei Xianwu."

Wei Xianwu was transferred to the border army by Li Xiping, and he couldn't come, so he let this person deal with me. ” "How can the other party's cultivation be traced now," Jiang Xiaoyi's face became solemn.

Lin Xi exhaled, he finally made up his mind in his heart, and he felt that Zhang Longwang encountered such a danger, but he still escaped, because he regarded Zhang Longwang as a true friend, so he naturally felt that this was something to be celebrated and happy in his heart, and the look on his face was relaxed.

"You can't go.

Later, I will send someone to explain the situation to Anniversary Mountain, and ask him to help you extend your vacation for a few days. ” He glanced at Jiang Xiaoyi, and after saying this sentence first, he slowly explained casually: "The fire in the prison was also set by that person, and it was also the same person who injured Second Master Zhang on the river a few years ago, it should be Xu Chengfeng, and they felt that it was very inconvenient for them to have such a cultivator on the river.

Second Master Zhang is a high-level soul master cultivator, and his cultivation is higher than all of us.

According to his judgment, the other party should have reached the Great Soul Master cultivation at that time. ” Jiang Xiaoyi took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xi, and said, "Then we are not his opponent when we join forces." ” Lin Xi knew that his friend was not greedy for life and afraid of death when he said this, so he patted Jiang Xiaoyi's shoulder and said, "With his cultivation, if he just wants to kill me, then he can do it at any time in the next few days."

But he went to burn the prison and kill Second Master Zhang. ” After a slight pause, Lin Xi said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "We have also heard a lot of analysis of the opponent's psychology in Qingluan Academy, this person has made so many means, it is obvious that this is a perverted opponent. ” "He wants to watch me step by step in despair, killing the people I care about one by one, torturing me like a cat catching a mouse."

Lin Xi's brows furrowed, and his voice became colder.

Jiang Xiaoyi, who was very familiar with Lin Xi's temper, knew that Lin Xi's heart was actually extremely angry.

"So if you leave, there's a good chance he'll assassinate you on the way."

Lin Xi didn't seem to want to hide the anger in his heart, he waved his fist in the air in annoyance, and said vigorously: "I'm angry, I'm really angry." ” Jiang Xiaoyi almost didn't see Lin Xi like this, so he felt a little funny, but he couldn't laugh a little.

"Second Master Zhang ran away after jumping a well connected to the river in Donggang Town, and the well was far away from the river."

Lin Xi continued annoyedly, "That person's head is not stupid, so he should have figured out at this moment that Second Master Zhang still escaped by water, but he knows Second Master Zhang's body and cultivation very well, so he should be very entangled now, swaying from side to side, I don't know if Second Master Zhang is dead."

He will wait and see if Second Master Zhang is dead and see how I react. ” "But since I suspect that Second Master Zhang may live, I don't think his patience can last long.

After discovering that he had missed again and again, and I knew about his existence, he should have come directly to me.

So you have to deal with him right away. ” Lin Xi said angrily: "Originally, I had a way to definitely deal with Wei Xianwu, but I didn't want to use it in my heart.

That's why I told you before that I want to invite you and Bian Linghan over.

If the three of us join forces, it will be enough to deal with Wei Xianwu, but if this person's cultivation has reached the Great Soul Master, the three of us may not be able to deal with it together, plus I am really angry, so I can only use this method to deal with him. ” "He's going to die an ugly death
