Chapter 926 The oriole is behind

The old man in the hood knew that the little strength he currently had was not worth mentioning in front of Zhou Yiqiao. The only way now was to delay and wait for the recovery of spiritual power.

As long as he could recover a little bit of his spiritual power, he was confident that he could escape from Zhou Yiqiao's pursuit with his peak divine power.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's attack intensity was much faster and more powerful than he imagined.

Almost instantly, he appeared in front of the old man in the hood, and with the fierce sword energy, the black evil sword struck hard at the old man in the hood.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the sword light fell, instantly defeating the protective sword light of the hooded old man. The remaining power was not reduced, and it continued to slash towards the hooded old man.

The face of the hooded old man changed drastically, and he retreated violently. At the same time, he waved the scimitar in his hand, trying to resist Zhou Yiqiao's attack head-on.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's strength far exceeded his imagination, and the sword energy contained in the Black Evil Sword was simply not something he could resist.

"Pfft!"

The sword energy penetrated the hooded old man's body and brought up a handful of blood.

The hooded old man grunted, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground, with blood pouring out of his mouth.

He struggled to get up and looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a look full of fear.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were like lightning, staring at the old man in the hood, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and the black evil sword in his hand exuded a fierce murderous aura.

"I can give that Dry Bone Lotus to fellow Taoist for nothing. I hope that fellow Taoist can be merciful and let me, an old guy, live."

"Please, fellow Taoist, let me go!"

Zhou Yiqiao sneered and ignored the hooded old man's words.

He stepped forward, grabbed the hooded old man by the throat, and lifted him up.

"Don't worry, I won't waste good things."

As he spoke, he moved his fingers, and a sword energy instantly penetrated the eyes of the hooded old man, passed through the back of his head, and then nailed him to the ground.

The old man in the hood opened his mouth wide, but unfortunately he died without making a sound in the end.

Zhou Yiqiao leaned over to put away the storage bags of several people, and then turned to look in the direction of the abyss of the ghost market.

"Since you have been watching from the sidelines for so long, why don't you come out and meet me?"

Zhou Yiqiao looked at a dark corner and said in a deep voice.

There was no movement there, only the whistling sound of cold wind coming from the entrance of the valley.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's expression did not relax, but became vigilant.

"If you don't want to show up, I will take action."

Zhou Yiqiao's voice echoed in the silent valley, carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The black evil sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if ready to be unsheathed at any time.

After a while, there was finally movement in the dark corner.

A figure walked out slowly, carrying an aura of dust and vicissitudes of life.

This is a middle-aged man, wearing a gray robe, his face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are shining.

He walked up to Zhou Yiqiao, cupped his hands and said.

"I have no intention of disturbing you, but I happened to be passing by here and saw your fight with those people, so I stopped and watched for a while."

Zhou Yiqiao looked at the middle-aged man and frowned slightly.

"The spiritual energy within this area of ​​a thousand miles is thin and deserted. If it hadn't been for the ghost market held nearby a few days ago, no one would have passed by this place."

"You said you happened to be passing by, do you think I would believe it?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled bitterly and said.

"Everything I say below is true, and there is absolutely no lie."

"I am a casual cultivator. Because of the lack of cultivation resources, I travel around looking for opportunities."

"I learned by chance that a ghost market was held here two days ago, so I thought I would try my luck. However, when I arrived, I found that the ghost market had just ended."

"Just when I was about to leave, I felt the aftermath of the fight between you and those people, so I followed you to see who you really are, and how you actually possess such strong fighting power."

Zhou Yiqiao laughed when he heard this, obviously not believing the other party's explanation.

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

"However, since you saw something you shouldn't have seen, I can't let you leave alive."

As he spoke, Zhou Yiqiao moved and rushed toward the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect Zhou Yiqiao to suddenly take action.

He retreated violently, forming seals with his hands at the same time, and an earthy yellow earth wall instantly formed in front of him.

"boom!"

Zhou Yiqiao punched the earth wall with a punch, the sand and rocks burst apart, and the earth wall shattered instantly.

But this punch was successfully blocked, giving the middle-aged man a chance to escape.

He took the opportunity to dodge and fled deeper into the valley.

Zhou Yiqiao sneered, his body turned into an afterimage, and he chased after him.

The two of them started a fierce chase in the valley.

Although the middle-aged man's speed was not slow, Zhou Yiqiao's strength was far superior to him, and the distance between the two was quickly shortened.

The middle-aged man was anxious and kept using various means to try to get rid of Zhou Yiqiao's pursuit, but to no avail.

Finally, after chasing for several miles, Zhou Yiqiao seized an opportunity and struck the middle-aged man in the back with a sword energy.

"Pfft!"

The middle-aged man groaned, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

He turned to look at Zhou Yiqiao, his eyes filled with fear.

"Your Excellency, we have no grievances or enmities, so why are we forcing each other so hard?"

Zhou Yiqiao sneered and said.

"There is no injustice or enmity. If you want to blame me, just blame yourself for seeing something you shouldn't have seen!"

The Black Evil Sword was raised high, and a biting cold breath filled the entire valley.

An imperceptible look of success flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and before the sword light was about to completely condense, he suddenly spit out a poisonous arrow from his mouth.

The poisonous arrow has a very wide attack range and is extremely concealed. It can be shot in front of Zhou Yiqiao in the blink of an eye.

"Ok?"

Zhou Yiqiao's pupils shrank sharply, feeling the danger approaching. He made a wrong step to avoid the sneak attack of the poisonous arrow. At the same time, he waved his arm and cut out a sword beam in an attempt to deflect the poisonous arrow's trajectory.

However, the poisonous arrow seemed to have spirituality, turning in the air and continuing to shoot towards Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked. He didn't expect this poisonous arrow to be so difficult to deal with.

He retreated violently, and at the same time he waved the Black Evil Sword in his hand, and sword energy shot out in an attempt to knock down the poisonous arrows.

"Hi~!"

The sword energy and poisonous arrows collided in the air, and the violent explosion set off a wild wind that blew away the poisonous mist.

When the poisonous fog dissipates, where is the middle-aged man still standing?

Only a few toxin-contaminated weeds were left on the ground.

Zhou Yiqiao picked off the weeds that had been eroded by toxins, and there was anger in his eyes.

Since entering the Avenue of Immortality, only when he has escaped from the hands of others, no one has ever been able to escape from his hands.
