The Mysterious Three Men
Qiao Zidan, who was using Silent Ghost Steps, finally left the scene and arrived a thousand meters away from the scene. The Silent Ghost Steps was indeed worthy of being Ming Xie's ultimate technique. It was actually so awesome!
Even though the three of them had left, Qiao Zidan was still vigilant. Who knew what would appear nearby? Perhaps another thousand-year-old Azure Snake would appear, and it would be difficult to deal with.
Even though Qiao Zidan had killed the Azure Serpent of the Green Fire Python Clan once, that was purely by luck. It was also a battle of life and death, and the Azure Serpent was the last of the strong bows at that time. Even so, Qiao Zidan was still lucky enough to kill it.
Although Qiao Zidan was already a Mortal Soul, she might not be a match for the Azure Sky Snake. It was more like a heavily injured Azure Fire Python. If it was an uninjured Azure Fire Python or an Azure Fire Python that was stronger than the Azure Fire Python, then there was only one way-run!
With sufficient Soul Qi, Qiao Zidan was confident that she could escape from the Soundless Ghost Steps that she had practiced thoroughly.
But even so, Qiao Zidan still had to be 200% alert.
This was Qiao Zidan's first time going out. Even though she had the perception of a Mortal Soul and was extremely alert, she still encountered a demonic beast. Fortunately, it was only a hundred-year-old demonic beast. It could be dealt with a few casual moves.
A hundred-year-old demonic beast was equivalent to a grand warrior soul cultivator, and the difference between a mortal soul cultivator and a grand warrior soul cultivator was not that small. It wasn't a rare thing to be able to resolve it with a few moves.
Finally, Qiao Zidan sensed that something was amiss.
If this was the way out, then the demonic beasts should be getting weaker and weaker. But why were they getting stronger and stronger now!
First, it was a 100-year-old demon beast, then 300 to 500, and now, it was a 900-year-old demon beast.
A demonic beast that was more than nine hundred years old was not worth mentioning to Qiao Zidan. She could destroy it in three moves.
When she encountered this 900-year-old demonic beast, Qiao Zidan finally sensed that something was amiss. He was walking towards the center!!
Qiao Zidan immediately stopped in her tracks. She could not go any further. There were thousand-year-old demonic beasts ahead! If he went, he would be courting death!
Behind him was a human soul cultivator. Even though she had fought against him and both sides suffered heavy injuries, Qiao Zidan knew that the other party was injured. Furthermore, there was also this four-star mortal soul. It was also very troublesome!
Therefore, he couldn't go to the front or back. He could only go to the left or right.
In the end, Qiao Zidan still chose to go to the left side after considering her messy thoughts.
On this road, Qiao Zidan would still encounter some demonic beasts. However, they were all demonic beasts that were 100 years old or 10 years old. This also proved that Qiao Zidan's guess was correct. If Qiao Zidan had kept walking forward, she would have definitely encountered a thousand-year demonic beast. Perhaps she would have been lucky enough to encounter a ten-thousand-year demonic beast!
As the saying went, reading ten thousand books was not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. After a few days, he felt that he had learned a lot. He also treated the demon beasts in this forest as training, so his mood was much better. The new things he saw along the way excited him. After all, he was still young, and his body recovered quickly. He didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he was like a bird that had escaped from its cage. For the first time in this world, he felt happy.
"We've been walking for a month. We should be arriving soon.”Qiao Zidan looked around vigilantly, as well as in the direction the tree shadows were pointing. He was certain that he was about to leave the forest.
Wiping away the sweat on her forehead, Qiao Zidan walked into the forest by the road. She found a shade and was about to sit down to meditate and recover her strength when suddenly, the sound of flowing water could be heard. Qiao Zidan, who was about to sit down, immediately jumped up excitedly.
Water meant that they could improve their lives!
Closing her eyes, Qiao Zidan quietly listened to the direction of the sound of flowing water. As a person with an exquisite soul, his six senses were much stronger than ordinary people. Especially when he closed his eyes, his other five senses would be magnified.
Soon, he found the direction and carefully moved forward in the forest. He was careful not because the ground in the forest was uneven, but because he was afraid that this would alarm some of the resting demon beasts. Although he wasn't afraid, his Soul Qi was about to be exhausted after a month of traveling. Therefore, he had to be careful to avoid wasting his Soul Qi.
In less than 200 meters, he found his target. It was a three-meter-wide stream. The water was so clear that he could see the bottom. The clear stream brought a refreshing coolness.
Qiao Zidan cheered. She forgot to take off her clothes and jumped into the stream that was less than two feet deep. The last time he took a bath was a month ago. After a month of traveling, he was already covered in sweat. Taking a bath in this clear stream was simply a comfortable enjoyment.
After washing up to his heart's content, when he came ashore again, his entire person had a feeling of being refreshed. He thought to himself, since we're almost at the Star Dou Great Forest, I'll take a good rest here.
He changed into the clean clothes stored in the ring, washed the dirty clothes in the stream, and hung them on the branches. Then, he broke off a tree branch that was about three feet long.
His right hand took out a sheathed short blade from his waist. The short blade was about one foot and two inches long, and the scabbard was dark green in color. It was made of tough leather, and Qiao Zidan did not know what kind of beast or animal it was. He only knew that this dagger was forged from Qiao Tian's strange items.
Although he had made this dagger himself, he did not know what the material was. They only knew that the raw materials were carefully selected from Qiao Tian's iron blocks and mixed with some random things.
The hilt was about five inches long. It did not have any gorgeous decorations, but it gave off an ancient feeling. Not only did it fit in his hand, but it was also exceptionally comfortable.
He drew his saber out of its scabbard without making any sound. The seven-inch long blade was like a pool of autumn water, and the thin blade seemed to be transparent. Qiao Zidan, who was already used to the cold, could not help but shiver.
The Fire Dagger was the name he had given himself.
He picked up the branch that he had just broken off and cut the front end of the branch with the fire dagger. The blade that emitted a faint green light cut through the branch as if it was cutting through tofu. In a few moves, the front of the tree branch was sharpened.
Qiao Zidan sheathed the fire dagger and placed it back on her waist. She then took the tree branch and walked to the stream.
He took a deep breath and his eyes lit up. Instantly, all the details in the clear stream were magnified in his eyes. Even the tiny shrimps in the crevices of the river could not escape the gaze of the spirit eye. Moreover, everything seemed to have slowed down in his eyes.
Suddenly, Qiao Zidan's hand moved like lightning, and the tree branch in her hand quickly stabbed into the stream.
" Puff!" He raised his hand, flipped his wrist, and stabbed a half-foot-long black carp into his body.
For ordinary people, stabbing fish was definitely a technical job. But to Qiao Zidan, who was once an assassin, it was a piece of cake. This was also why he was so excited when he heard the sound of running water. Other than picking the fruits on the tree, he had not eaten any other meat for the past month.
When Qiao Zidan was on Earth, he had carried out many missions that had harsh environments. He had gone to scorching deserts and dense forests. He had adapted to all kinds of environments. This was what an assassin had to do.
One small fish was naturally not enough for him to eat. In just a short while, Qiao Zidan had already inserted a dozen or so herrings from the river that were half a foot to a foot long.
Qiao Zidan smiled as she squatted beside the stream and used the fire dagger to help clean up the black carp. The sharp Heavenly Tiger Dagger was able to scrape scales or cut open a person's stomach with ease. For Qiao Zidan, who had been working with her mother since she was young, this kind of work was not difficult at all. In fifteen minutes, she had finished processing more than ten fish.
He found some large leaves from the forest and washed them in the stream. Then, he placed the washed fish on them and found some dry branches as firewood. After a while, a small bonfire was lit by the stream.
Qiao Zidan only had salt as seasoning, but it was enough for the grilled fish. He used thick branches to make a few small shelves, then used thin branches to put on the clean black carp, smeared salt in the belly of the black carp, and then took out a leaf called purple perilla that he had picked in the forest a few days ago from the rag, washed it, tore it up, and stuffed it into the belly of the black carp. Then, he put it on the grill made of thick branches to roast it.
Not long after, a special fragrance began to spread over the fire. The fragrance was very rich, and there was a temptation that only belonged to it. As Qiao Zidan slowly turned the fish, the black carp gradually turned golden. Accompanied by the rich fragrance, it was exceptionally alluring.
Qiao Zidan was also afraid that the fragrance would attract other soul practitioners or demon beasts, so when the fish was cooked, she immediately wolfed it down.
He wondered what kind of expression Qiao Zidan's assassin brothers on Earth would have when they saw their leader, Qiao Zidan, wolfing down the food like this.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Zidan left the scene without hesitation. He ran towards the outskirts of the forest.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the three uninvited guests arrived at the place where Qiao Zidan grilled the fish.
The three were all men. One had silver hair, one had red hair, and one had purple hair.
"Looks like we're a step too late."
The silver-haired man said when he saw Qiao Zidan's tiny footprints on the ground.
"Light footsteps, fast speed. What a rare fellow."
The red-haired man followed the silver-haired man's gaze and said in astonishment.
"Judging from the ripples of his soul energy, he has a three-star mortal soul at most.”
The purple-haired man glanced at the two of them and said indifferently.
"Three-star mortal soul? No way! How could a three-star mortal soul be so fast?”
Hearing this, the red-haired man and the silver-haired man said in unison. They would never believe that a three-star mortal soul could move so fast! Even an eight-star mortal soul wouldn't be able to move so quickly. unless
"My judgment is almost never wrong.”
The purple-haired man ignored their tone and said indifferently.
"Could he be a speed-type Mortal Soul?”
The silver-haired man took a deep breath to calm himself down. He asked.
"Without any signs of him fighting, it's hard to say.”
Pausing for a moment, the purple-haired man turned his head and looked around. He glanced at the spot where Qiao Zidan had poked the fish and said,""It's hard to say if this person is a speed type, but I can confirm that his soul is related to fire.”
When Qiao Zidan grilled the fish, she used her own red fire to burn the wood.
"Fire? How was this possible? I've never heard of a speed type mortal soul with a fire soul!”
The silver-haired man said in shock. Indeed, it was impossible for such a person to exist in the entire southwest continent. Even if there were, they would not be living alone. Such a genius had long been groomed as the Young Sect Master by others.
"Indeed. It's impossible for the southwest continent to have such a Mortal Soul. Otherwise, how could we not have any news at all?”
Pausing for a moment, the purple-haired man glanced at the rod that Qiao Zidan was using to fish and said,"Moreover, this person often lives independently.”
"What do you mean?"
The red-haired man turned to the purple-haired man and said.
"This person is that fellow from the southwest continent who has the innate ability to transcend soul qi.”
The purple-haired man's voice was extremely indifferent, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter. The indifference and indifference in his tone made it even more difficult for others to understand his emotions.
"What?"
The silver-haired man was shocked. He had never thought that the Innate Soul Crossing Qi would actually appear in a remote place like the Southwest Continent! One had to know that he himself was only at Stage Nine Soul Qi and only had the faint appearance of a breakthrough. He had never thought that there would be someone in the southwest continent who was more talented than him.
This was also the main reason why the silver-haired man was so shocked.
"Qiao Zidan, Innate Soul Qi, Soul Fire.”
Hearing this, the red-haired man was caught up in the recent news. He recited Qiao Zidan's information like he was reciting a poem.
"This was only news from ten months ago. However, he was now a 2-star Mortal Soul Cultivator.”
the purple-haired man said indifferently.
"What is it? He…he actually managed to reach the 2-star Mortal Soul Realm in just ten short months?”
This time, it was the red-haired man's turn to be shocked.
The red-haired man had used a year to reach the Mortal Soul Stage. However, he wasn't bad either. He had reached the Mortal Soul Stage in one year and three months. From the looks of it, his history paled in comparison to Qiao Zidan's! Not worth mentioning!
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about Qiao Zidan's Innate Soul Crossing Qi. However, he had never thought that Qiao Zidan would become more and more like a Great Spirit Cultivator.
This was no wonder. Innate Soul Crossing Qi was originally rare, and there were only a few in the entire Dou Spirit Continent. In their opinion, it was already extremely fortunate for the southwest continent to have an Innate Soul Crossing Qi. However, they had no idea that this person's Soul Crossing Qi would return to the highest level.
"Let's go. This place will soon be discovered.”
