Chapter 23 Taking stock of gains and clues

"I lied to you? I really didn't do anything. You hit the sword and died. Can you blame me?" Su Twelve said expressionlessly.

This guy wanted to kill him from the beginning. Moreover, his cultivation level is far more powerful than mine, so if we really want to let him go, that would be to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

Although he was moved by the Zhu Guo, he was not dizzy yet.

Telling the other party so much is nothing more than making him completely let down his guard. For him, saving a little more energy also gives him more ability to face crises that may arise at any time. ??

"Ah! You... you bastard! You have to die!" The young man in Lunjin shouted hysterically with blood flowing from his mouth.

Within a few breaths, he was lying on his back on the ground, his life force almost exhausted, and his whole body was extremely weak. His distracted eyes fell on Su Twelve, and he began to pray again, "Please! Please save me, I don't want to die! I still want to aspire to the great road..."

But no matter whether he was yelling or begging for mercy, Su Twelve stood aside indifferently and ignored him.

A few minutes later, the young man in Lunjin lay motionless on the ground, without breathing, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was staring at death.

Su Twelve drew out the White Mist Sword and struck a few blows from a distance. After confirming that the man was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with his sword in hand.

He is really dead! Su Twelve stood there, a little confused. After all, it was his first time to kill someone. At this time, in addition to the relief of the rest of his life after the disaster, he felt even more empty in his heart.

However, countless monsters have died under his hands in the past few years, and his character has become very tough.

After only a moment of confusion, he regained consciousness. Pick up all the useful things on the opponent's body and on the ground, then throw a fireball to burn his body, and then leave in a hurry with the things.

Although this place was remote, there was a lot of noise from the fighting just now, and he was afraid that someone would come.

If someone discovered it, he would be dead.

Private fights between disciples of the same sect are taboo, and killing a fellow disciple is a capital offense.

Half an hour later, Su Twelve returned to his residence.

After meditating silently for a while, calming down and restoring the true energy in the body, he took out the things he picked up and looked at them one by one.

The first thing he picked up was the identity tag of the young man in Lunjin. Six small characters were clearly written on it: Tianhua Peak, Meng Tianyi.

"He is actually from Tianhua Peak? That's right. According to the sect manual, most of the people in Tianhua Peak are sword cultivators. Since he claims to be a sword cultivator, it is normal for him to be from Tianhua Peak!"

Su Twelve muttered in a low voice, and as he spoke, a fireball was sent out, burning the identity tag cleanly.

After doing this, he picked up a buckler from the side.

Without the blessing of true energy, this round shield has become only the size of a palm. The pattern on it is like a tortoise pattern, and three small words are faintly visible: Tortoise Pattern Shield

"No wonder this round shield can block the attack of a high-grade magic weapon. It turned out to be a mid-grade magic weapon. Fortunately, I was attacking at close range. Otherwise, if he had activated this turtle pattern shield in advance, I'm afraid who would lose and who would win? I do not know!"

"It's a pity that this turtle pattern shield has cracks. I don't know if the cracks on it can be repaired after being tempered by the mysterious pill furnace."

He lowered his head and looked at the turtle shield in his hand, and saw a long and narrow crack on it. Su Twelve was both happy and a little heartbroken.

After thinking about it, he took out the mysterious alchemy furnace and poured some real energy into it, making the alchemy furnace slightly larger than the turtle shield.

Then he threw the turtle pattern shield into it.

It was like a tempered white mist sword at that time, and as soon as the tortoise pattern shield was put into it, it was covered with a faint green light.

Several

After taking a breath, the changes stopped. Su Twelve carefully put away the mysterious pill furnace, and then looked at the turtle pattern shield again.

After being tempered, the tortoise-patterned shield became only half its original size, and its entire body was crystal clear. The sandy-brown shield faintly emitted some crystal light.

"This...this turned into a top-notch magic weapon?"

Su Twelve's eyes widened and he was ecstatic. In the world of immortality, defensive magic weapons are more precious and rare than offensive magic weapons.

As for the top-grade defensive magic weapons, they are even more impressive than ordinary space magic weapons.

With such a treasure in hand, his safety factor is also greatly improved.

"If I had such a treasure in hand before, then Meng Tianyi's sword energy would have been impossible to hurt me!"

"However, I still have to thank him for sending me such a good thing before the newcomer's trial."

"It's a pity that the cracks on the turtle shield have not been repaired. It seems that the mysterious pill furnace can only temper and upgrade the treasures, but does not have the ability to repair the treasures."

Su Twelve suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the turtle pattern shield a few more times, and then carefully put it in his arms. .??.

Although there are cracks, the tortoise pattern shield has become a top-notch magical weapon, and its defensive power has also been greatly improved. These cracks are secondary.

Putting away the turtle pattern shield, Su Twelve put away the two low-grade Qi Gathering Pills and three escape talismans he found.

Only then did his eyes fall on the last thing found on Meng Tianyi.

This is a book that Meng Tianyi keeps close to his heart.

The book looked tattered and old, and the cover was missing. The pages are yellowed and many of the fonts are a bit blurry.

But to be collected by him personally, Su Twelve felt that this must be a good thing.

After opening the page and seeing the content above, Su Twelve's pupils suddenly shrank.

All of a sudden, veins popped up all over his body, and he became excited and furious.

Breathing heavily, he quickly opened the book.

Most of the book records a sword cultivation technique called Skeleton Sword Technique.

This sword technique can only be practiced by those with cultivation levels above the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and only those at the sixth to ninth levels of the Qi Refining Stage.

Moreover, when practicing, you need to use a large number of Yin-type treasures and corpses of dead people.

Once mastered, you can use the unique skeleton sword energy to swallow the essence and blood of strangers when attacking. The more essence and blood is swallowed, the stronger the sword energy becomes.

Such a description immediately reminded Su Twelve of the man in black who killed his grandfather and the villagers.

He remembered very clearly that on that day, the sword energy inspired by the man in black was shaped like a skeleton, almost exactly the same as described in this book, and it could even be said that it was even more powerful.

"Skeleton swordsmanship! Could it be that... the man in black is actually hiding in Tianhua Peak?"

"However, although Meng Tianyi carried this technique with him, we cannot rule out the possibility that he got it from elsewhere."

"It seems that it will take a lot of effort to find the man in black. No matter where he is, I will find him sooner or later. But the top priority is to improve my strength."

Su Twelve sat on the bed and was in a daze for a while before he regained his energy.

Although he has been practicing hard in the Waste Alchemy Room for the past four years, he has also secretly inquired about the whereabouts of the man in black.

Unfortunately, they all came to nothing.

Although there are still no useful clues at this moment, I finally know the name of the sword technique that person performed and what characteristics it has.

Taking a deep breath, Su Twelve held the unknown book again and continued to read.
