Chapter 525
Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and stood up, saying calmly: "I am Ren Xiaoyao, I only wish to search for the remains of the immortals, and have no intention of becoming an enemy of you. If you hadn't taken action first, how could I have taken action?"
The leader had a complicated look on his face when he heard this, and finally sighed: "Forget it, since your martial arts are so powerful, we are no match for you. However, there are indeed many secrets hidden on Mount Tai. If you really want to find the remains of the immortals, you might as well follow me."
Ren Xiaoyao nodded slightly. Although he had doubts in his heart, he had no choice at this moment. So, the two of them walked towards the deeper part of Mount Tai, one in front and one behind. As they went deeper, the scenery around them became more and more bizarre, as if there really were some unknown secrets hidden...
As the night deepened, they finally arrived at a hidden place. There stood a stone tablet with some strange words and patterns engraved on it. "Is this the legendary immortal ruins?" Ren Xiaoyao looked at the scene in front of him, and a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
"Yes, it is said that there was an immortal who lived here and left behind many rare treasures. But since the immortal left, this place has become a forbidden area and no one can enter." The leading person said slowly.
Ren Xiaoyao stared at the stone tablet, and suddenly, he felt an inexplicable force surge into his body, and his meridians seemed to be cleansed by some kind of force, and his whole body was refreshed. "This is..." He was secretly surprised in his heart, but did not show it.
"It seems that you do have the opportunity to be recognized here. We are powerless to stop you, so let's say goodbye." After the leader said this, he turned around and led everyone away.
Ren Xiaoyao stood there, watching them go away, feeling mixed emotions. After a long while, he whispered to himself, "Perhaps, this is fate."
At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind him: "Brother Ren, there really is a mystery hidden here. This is cause for celebration."
Ren Xiaoyao looked back and saw a woman standing there with a smile. She was Ren Xiaoyao's best friend, Su Wan'er. "So you're here too. What a coincidence." Ren Xiaoyao smiled, and the loneliness in his heart seemed to dissipate.
Su Wan'er chuckled and said, "Brother Ren is a martial arts master, and this trip will definitely yield something. I wonder what your plans are next?"
Ren Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Since there is a mystery hidden here, I will find out. As for the future, perhaps it will be even more exciting."
The two smiled at each other, then walked hand in hand into this mysterious place, their hearts filled with infinite longing for the future.
The wind was rising and the clouds were rolling. A storm was about to come. Ren Xiaoyao stood in the vastness. In front of him was the majestic peak of Mount Tai, the destination of his trip. But at this moment, his heart was surging and it was difficult to calm down. Mount Tai, the land that carried the dreams of countless heroes, would become a trial ground for his life and death today.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you're finally here!" A cold voice came from the top of the mountain, accompanied by bursts of murderous aura, which was terrifying.
Ren Xiaoyao looked up and saw a masked man in black standing not far away, with a sword flashing coldly in his hand and murderous intent in his eyes. He knew that this would be a fight to the death.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice. He did not draw his sword, but tried to remain calm and observe the other party's every move.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you must die here today!" The man in black sneered, and his figure flashed, rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost.
The two figures intertwined in an instant, and the sword light and palm shadows intersected in the air, making a deafening sound. Ren Xiaoyao relied on his powerful martial arts to deal with the opponent, but the black-clothed man's moves were extremely ruthless, and each sword was aimed directly at the vital points, so he did not dare to slack off.
On the top of Mount Tai, the wind and clouds were changing, and a life-and-death duel was unfolding at this moment. The air around seemed to be frozen by this battle, and only the sound of swords and palm winds echoed in the valley.
Ren Xiaoyao was thinking about countermeasures in his heart. The strength of the man in black was far beyond his imagination. If it weren't for his quick response, he would have been defeated long ago. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.
"Hmph, a last-ditch struggle!" The man in black saw Ren Xiaoyao suddenly retreat and thought he was trying to escape, so he immediately chased after him.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao turned around suddenly, and the long sword in his hand turned into a stream of light, piercing the chest of the man in black. This sword contained all his internal strength, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult for people to react.
"You..." A trace of fear flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes, but it was too late to dodge. He could only watch the sword pierce his chest.
Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and stood, looking at the fallen enemy, but there was no joy in his heart. Although he won the battle, he knew that the real test had just begun...
"Brother Ren, are you okay?" A concerned greeting came. It turned out that it was his good friend Li Mubai who had arrived. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Brother Mu Bai, for your concern. But what is the origin of this man in black? Why is he so powerful?" Ren Xiaoyao asked with a frown, still puzzled.
"There must be something hidden behind this matter. We need to investigate it thoroughly." Li Mubai pondered for a moment and suggested.
The two smiled at each other and decided to work together to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy.
"Brother Ren, what are your plans next?" Li Mubai asked curiously.
"I think it's time to go to Shaolin Temple." Ren Xiaoyao said with a firm look, "Maybe we can find the answer there."
The moonlight was like water, spreading in the silence. At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao was walking alone in the desert, surrounded by yellow sand and howling wind, as if even time was frozen in this desolate place. He was wearing a green shirt, with an ancient sword slung over his shoulder, and a bit of arrogance and tenacity between his brows.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, breaking the silence. A masked man in black holding a long knife appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao with a nimble figure, his eyes flashing with ferocity. "Ren Xiaoyao, today is the day you die!" Before he finished speaking, the man in black had already swung his knife, the blade breaking through the air, bringing up gusts of wind.
Ren Xiaoyao dodged the attack with a flash, and the ancient sword in his hand shook lightly, making a crisp sound. "Who are you, you thief, that dares to act wildly here?" He asked in a cold voice, his eyes revealing an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.
The man in black was obviously intimidated by Ren Xiaoyao's momentum, but he quickly regained his composure and launched another attack. The two fought hard with swords flashing and sabers crisscrossing. Above the desert, the yellow sand was stirred up, forming whirlpools, as if only this fierce battle remained between heaven and earth.
After a few rounds, Ren Xiaoyao saw the right opportunity and rushed forward. The ancient sword turned into a stream of light and pierced the opponent's heart. The man in black hurriedly retreated, but the tip of the sword still cut his clothes, revealing a token engraved with a strange pattern.
"It's you!" A hint of surprise flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, "I didn't expect someone from the Five Poison Sect to appear here."
The man in black saw that his identity was exposed, so he took off his mask, revealing a ferocious face. "Ren Xiaoyao, you have repeatedly ruined our good deeds. Today, we must get rid of you no matter what!" As he said that, he rushed forward again with his knife, and his attack became more fierce.
Ren Xiaoyao responded calmly, and each move seemed to be handled with ease. As the battle progressed, he gradually discovered the flaws in the opponent's moves. He turned his body and the ancient sword pierced out like a dragon, accurately hitting the black-clothed man's vital points. With a muffled "bang", the black-clothed man fell to the ground, and the token in his hand rolled onto the sand.
Looking at the enemy lying on the ground, Ren Xiaoyao felt mixed emotions. In this desert full of unknowns and dangers, every battle could mean life or death. But he knew that he had a more important mission to accomplish and could not let down his guard just because of the victory in front of him.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a faint voice behind him: "Ren...Brother Ren, thank you for saving my life." It turned out that the man in black regained his sanity at the last moment and expressed his gratitude to Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao turned and looked at the man, a soft look flashed in his eyes: "The road ahead is long, take care of yourselves."
"Brother Ren is so kind and righteous. I will never forget your kindness." After the man in black said this with difficulty, he closed his eyes, as if he had finally been relieved.
Ren Xiaoyao stood in silence for a moment, then picked up the token on the ground, turned around and continued on his journey. On the desert, only his lonely figure was left, gradually fading away under the moonlight...
"The road of the martial arts world is indeed full of variables." Ren Xiaoyao whispered to himself, feeling both emotional and relieved.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling over a quiet place. Ren Xiaoyao, wearing a green shirt and holding a long sword, stepped into this legendary forest. Surrounded by towering ancient trees, the night wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering some secrets. His destination was this ancient forest full of unknowns and dangers.
Silently reciting the ancient prophecy in his heart: "In the depths of the forest, there are many adventures." Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but quicken his pace. His heart became more and more tense with each step he took, not knowing what was waiting for him ahead.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from not far away, like the roar of some wild animal. Ren Xiaoyao immediately became alert, tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, and slowly approached the direction of the sound. Passing through several large trees, he saw a huge black bear standing not far ahead, and it seemed to be disturbed by the sudden intruder.
"What a big guy!" Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself, but he did not retreat at all. He stretched out his body and jumped up as lightly as a swallow. The long sword in his hand drew a sharp light and pointed directly at the vital point of the black bear. Seeing this, the black bear roared angrily and slammed its huge claws on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The battle broke out instantly, and the two sides fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was the winner. Ren Xiaoyao relied on his flexible body movements and superb swordsmanship to nearly knock down the black bear several times. However, every attack was cleverly avoided by the opponent, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
Just as Ren Xiaoyao was thinking about how to completely defeat the black bear, a strange phenomenon occurred. Under the moonlight, the black bear suddenly turned into a white-haired old man. The old man smiled and said to Ren Xiaoyao: "Young man, you have a good character. You can stay calm in this trial."
"Senior, who are you?" Ren Xiaoyao was surprised, but also let down his guard.
The old man said slowly: "I am the guardian of this forest and have lived in seclusion here for many years. Seeing that you have amazing talents, I came here to test you. Since you can pass my test, I will give you this sword as a souvenir."
As he spoke, the old man took out a sword from his bosom and handed it to Ren Xiaoyao. This sword was neither gold nor iron, and it was cold to the touch. There were ancient patterns engraved on the sword, which looked extremely extraordinary.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior." Ren Xiaoyao took the sword, feeling grateful.
“Remember, a true master must not only have extraordinary martial arts skills, but also a peaceful mentality.” After the old man finished speaking, his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the sword in his hand, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. He knew that his martial arts journey had just begun...
"Senior, you are absolutely right. Xiaoyao will definitely live up to your expectations." Ren Xiaoyao made a solemn promise to the air, turned around and continued walking towards the depths of the forest.
The mountain wind was howling, and Ren Xiaoyao stepped heavily into an ancient and mysterious forest. The trees were towering all around, and the sun shone through the treetops and sprinkled on the ground in a mottled manner. Every step seemed to step into another world. The air was filled with a faint scent of grass and trees, which made people feel relaxed and happy, but also brought a sense of tension from the unknown.
The purpose of his trip was to find the legendary "Immortal Grass", a rare treasure that could bring the dead back to life. It was said that the Immortal Grass grew in this forest, but no one had ever found its true location. Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself that if he could obtain the Immortal Grass, he would not only be able to cure his seriously ill junior sister, but also perhaps solve the mystery of his own life.
