Chapter 5 - The Storm of Blackstone City

Five bandits rushed forward like hungry wolves.

Swords of light and shadows sealed off all escape routes for Li Fan.

The one eyed big man, who was fully satisfied the day after tomorrow, smirked and did not personally take action. In his opinion, four subordinates were enough to solve this ignorant little white face.

However, the next second, his smile froze on his face.

Faced with attacks from all sides, Li Fan did not retreat but instead advanced!

He stepped on the ground with his left foot and slid half a step to the left like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the oncoming ghost headed knife. At the same time, holding the hilt of the Xuantie Heavy Sword with his right hand, without unsheathing, he swept out with his sword and scabbard!

Huh!

The three hundred pound heavy sword, driven by the terrifying power of Li Fan's Purple Gold Demon Vein, brings a dull sound of breaking wind, like a giant hammer attacking a city!

Bang

The bandit on the left, who was in the middle of the day after tomorrow, was the first to bear the brunt. At the moment when his steel knife collided with the scabbard, his face changed dramatically, and he felt a tremendous force rushing in. The tiger's mouth shattered, and the steel knife flew out of his hand!

Immediately afterwards, the remaining strength of the scabbard did not diminish, and it fiercely smashed into his chest!

Click!

A clear sound of bone fractures sounded.

The bandit screamed in agony and flew backwards, spewing out a mouthful of blood in the air. He fell heavily to the ground several yards away, convulsing twice before remaining motionless.

One move, flash kill!

The third one! "Exclaimed the other bandits, and their attack couldn't help but stall.

Li Fan took advantage of this opportunity and moved his body again!

Shenxing is versatile - apply oil to the soles of the feet!

His figure became elusive, like a ghost wandering between the blade lights. Every movement is just right to avoid the attack, and every move is heavy like a mountain!

The scabbard can be smashed, swept, or clicked!

Simple, rough, and effective!

Bang bang bang bang!

There were three muffled sounds again.

The remaining three bandits, one had their arm smashed, one was swept in the waist and abdomen, vomited blood, and fell to the ground. The last one was hit in the throat by a scabbard and died directly!

The whole process takes only three to five breaths!

The four bandits in the later stages of the day after tomorrow all lay down.

Ding! Defeat the robber and gain 50 points of B value! "

Current B value: 754 points! "

Li Fan leaned on his unsheathed heavy sword, panting slightly. Dealing with four people at the same time, although winning, also consumes a lot.

He looked up at the only one eyed man still standing in the field.

The one eyed man's face had turned pale at the moment, and his eyes were filled with shock.

How is that possible?

A kid in the middle of the day after tomorrow, surprisingly solved his four subordinates in an instant?! This combat power... is simply a monster!

He had no idea that Li Fan's Purple Gold Magic Vein, combined with the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword, had a power far exceeding that of his peers. Coupled with his versatile divine body techniques, defeating these scattered cultivators and robbers with no high martial arts skills was simply a downgrade.

It's your turn, "Li Fan shook the blood droplets on his scabbard and said lightly.

The one eyed man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, but more importantly, he was afraid.

He glanced behind Li Fan at the girl in a moon white dress who had been standing quietly all along. The girl's face was pale and frail, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Capture the thief first, capture the king! No, it's taking hostages!

The one eyed man's heart flickered as he suddenly let out a loud shout and pounced on Li Fan. However, halfway through, he suddenly changed direction and the Ghost Head Blade, with its sharp blood red blade, went straight towards Su Muyue!

Little beauty, come with me

He has a good plan, as long as he can control this seemingly defenseless young girl, that kid will definitely be wary!

Su Muyue stood quietly in place, looking at the one eyed man rushing towards her, her eyes calm and even... with a hint of pity.

She didn't even move her fingers.

Because she knew that someone wouldn't let the knife fall in front of her.

Sure enough——

Looking for death

Li Fan's eyes gleamed with coldness!

He originally only wanted to repel these robbers, after all, he had just arrived in Blackstone City and it was not appropriate to get involved in a lawsuit for human lives (although he had already killed two). But this one eyed man dared to attack Su Youyue

Then no wonder he!

The Purple Gold Demon Qi exploded with a loud roar!

The ground beneath Li Fan's feet exploded, and he shot out like an arrow from a string, with a speed that was twice as fast as before! The latecomer arrived first, instantly blocking Su Tuyue's body!

Xuantie Heavy Sword, finally unsheathed!

Choking -!

The dark sword body shone with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight. Without sharp blades, there is a heavy and unparalleled sense of oppression!

Cut it off

Li Fan held the sword in both hands, infused his whole body with strength, and aimed at the approaching ghost headed knife, cutting it head-on without any fancy!

Dang -!!!

The piercing sound of metal and iron clashing exploded!

Mars splatters everywhere!

The one eyed man's face changed dramatically!

He felt that what was struck was not a sword, but a mountain! An irresistible force came along the blade, tearing apart the tiger's mouth in an instant, and the Ghost Head Blade flew out of hand!

And the Xuantie Heavy Sword, its remaining strength remains undiminished!

No -

The one eyed man screamed in terror, wanting to retreat, but it was already too late.

Puff!

The heavy sword strikes!

From head to toe!

The body of the one eyed man was forcefully split in half!

Blood, internal organs, broken bones... sprayed all over the ground.

The scene was incredibly bloody.

Li Fan withdrew his sword and stood up, the blood droplets dripping from the sword quickly sliding down without leaving any trace. His face turned slightly pale, the sword had consumed a great deal, but his gaze remained sharp.

He turned around and looked at Su Muyue, 'Are you okay?'

Su Muyue shook her head, her gaze swept over the mess on the ground, and then turned to Li Fan, with a glimmer of brilliance in her eyes.

The sword just now... plain and unadorned, yet incredibly domineering. This young man is even stronger than she imagined.

Moreover, he acted without hesitation in front of her.

Ding! Successfully set up B in front of important female characters, doubling the shock effect! Get a B value of 200 points! "

Ding! Kill the successful bandit leader the day after tomorrow and earn 100 points of B value! "

Current B-value: 1054 points! "

Li Fan's heart was filled with joy. Sure enough, pretending to be a B in front of a beautiful woman adds a high bonus!

He quickly searched several bandits, but only gained a few tens of taels of silver and some inferior pills. The ghost headed knife of the one eyed man is a good ordinary weapon that can sell for money.

Let's go, it's not advisable to stay here for too long, "Li Fan put away his things and said to Su Guiyue.

The smell of blood will soon attract monsters or other troubles.

Su Youyue nodded and the two quickly left the scene.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the outskirts of Blackstone City.

The city wall is about ten zhang high, built from a black giant stone, mottled and weathered, exuding a rough and chaotic atmosphere. The city gate is open, and the guards lazily lean against the wall, ignoring the crowds entering and leaving, only glancing at the cultivators who obviously carry valuable goods or have strong breath.

After paying the entry fee of one or two silver coins per person, the two entered the city.

The scene inside the city is even more chaotic than Li Fan imagined.

The streets are narrow and crowded, with numerous shops lining both sides, but more often than not, there are scattered vendors selling, bargaining, and arguing mixed together. The air is filled with various smells: the bitter taste of medicinal materials, the fishy smell of demon animal blood, the smell of low-quality fragrant powder, and the smell of sweat and dust.

Various people shuttle through it: fierce mercenaries, cunning brokers, scantily dressed female cultivators, numb looking ordinary coolies... Occasionally, one or two obscure and obviously difficult to deal with lone travelers can also be seen.

It's really chaotic, "Li Fan whispered.

Blackstone City is a lawless zone, maintained by several local gangs and chambers of commerce to maintain basic order. As long as there is no open large-scale fighting within the city, no one usually takes care of it. "Su Youyue is obviously not the first time to come to such a place and is familiar with the road." Let's find a place to live first

The two of them found a relatively clean and quiet inn called "Qingfengju" in the area near the east of the city.

I ordered two adjacent upper rooms at a high price, costing ten taels of silver per day. But the advantage lies in seclusion and having a simple soundproofing array.

After settling in, Su Youyue planned to go out: "I'll go to Wanbao Tower to inquire about the news, you

I'll go with you, "Li Fan said." By the way, I also need to understand the situation here and buy something

Su Muyue glanced at him without objection.

The two of them went out again and walked towards the busiest area in the city center.

Wanbao Tower is the largest chamber of commerce in Blackstone City, reportedly with a strong background and branches in various continents. The building is five stories high and carved beams and painted rafters is extraordinary, which is incompatible with the rough buildings around.

Those who enter and exit are either wealthy or wealthy, or have decent cultivation.

Li Fan and Su Duyue walked into the lobby on the first floor, and were immediately welcomed by a young man in green.

Dear guests, what do you need? There are all kinds of elixirs, treasures, techniques, and materials available in this building. "The servant smiled and glanced at the two of them. He saw that Su Youyue had an extraordinary temperament (although her face was pale), and Li Fan had a subtle aura (hidden breathing effect), and his attitude was even more respectful.

I want to inquire about a medicinal herb, "Su Guiyue said directly," the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass

The servant's face changed slightly and he lowered his voice, "Sir, the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass is a sixth grade divine medicine, which is of great importance. Please follow me to the elegant room for a detailed discussion

He led the two to a secluded and elegant room on the second floor, served them spiritual tea, and then hurriedly left.

After a moment, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and sporting a goatee, who looked like a steward, walked in.

My name is Qian, and I am the manager of the Heishi City branch of the Wanbao Tower. "Qian, the manager, bowed with a smile on his face." Do you two want to inquire about the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass

Not bad, "Su Youyue nodded." Do you have any clues? Or do you have any inventory in your building? Price is not a problem

The money steward smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This girl, the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass is a legendary divine medicine that is hard to come by. Not to mention the sub branch of this building, even the main building probably doesn't have any inventory. As for the clues

He pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the only record of the appearance of the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass in the Broken God Continent in nearly a hundred years was near the 'Burning Heaven Valley' on the edge of the chaotic continent sixty years ago. It caused a bloody storm and was eventually taken away by a mysterious strongman, and its whereabouts are unknown

Burning Valley?

Li Fan wrote down this name. The chaotic continent is a forbidden area with chaotic spiritual power and high danger.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Youyue's eyes, but it seemed to be within expectations.

Is there any other news besides that? "She asked.

The money steward shook his head and said, "Once news of this level of divine medicine appears, it will definitely shake one side. If there is, the Wanbao Tower must know. If the girl really needs it, she may be able to release a bounty mission. With a heavy reward, she may be able to obtain something

offer a reward?

After thinking for a moment, Su Suiyue took out a jade pendant from her storage bag that was crystal clear and emitted a faint moonlight, and placed it on the table.

Using this item as evidence, a reward will be issued: those who provide the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass with a clear thread will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of high-grade spirit stone. If they can provide divine medicine... conditions are open, as long as I can afford it

When the money steward saw the jade pendant, his pupils suddenly shrank and his hands trembled slightly.

He carefully picked up the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and his face became more respectful, even carrying a hint of fear.

This... is this the Moon Flower Order?! "he muttered," The girl is the Moon Flower Palace

Be cautious, "Su Youyue interrupted him, her eyes slightly cold.

The money steward immediately shut up, with a cold sweat on his forehead. He returned the jade pendant with both hands and bowed, saying, "I misspoke! Don't worry, young lady. The Wanbao Tower will do its best to reward you! As soon as there is any news, notify the young lady immediately

Yuehua Palace? Li Fan's heart stirred. It sounds like a formidable force, looking at how scared the money management is like this

Su Muyue took back the jade pendant and nodded lightly, "Thank you for your help

After inquiring about information about the Burning Valley and the Chaotic Continent, the two left the Wanbao Tower.

Walking on the street, Su Youyue appeared somewhat silent, and the sickly aura between her eyebrows seemed to have worsened.

Li Fan can understand her disappointment. Hope is slim, it wouldn't be easy for anyone else.

Don't lose heart, "Li Fan comforted," Burning the Sky Valley, right? When we have enough strength, we'll go and explore. Maybe the divine medicine is still waiting for us there

Su Muyue glanced at him and noticed that his eyes were serious and not perfunctory, which warmed her heart slightly.

Mmm, "she responded softly.

The two of them strolled around the city again, and Li Fan used the money he had plundered from the bandits to buy several sets of laundry and some dry food. Su Muyue purchased some auxiliary medicines for refining Xuanyin Zhenhun Pills.

When I returned to the inn, it was already evening.

Go back to your respective rooms.

Li Fan closed the door, set up the simple warning formation given by Su Tuyue (which she casually gave and was also a good thing), and then eagerly communicated with the system.

System, open the mall and filter out the things I can afford now that are most useful for my current situation

The light curtain unfolds and the list refreshes.

Li Fan's current B-value is 1054 points.

He needs to quickly enhance his strength to deal with the pursuit of the Purgatory Sect, while also preparing for the search for the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass in the future.

Glancing over each item:

[Shadow Cloak] (Yellow Rank Top Grade): 150 points, can temporarily become invisible, effective below the elemental realm.

[ Explosive Flame Talisman × 10 ] (one-time): 200 points, equivalent to a perfect full force strike the day after tomorrow.

[ Light Body Talisman × 10 ] (one-time use): 100 points, increase speed by 30% in a short period of time.

Xiao Huan Dan (Third Grade): 80 points, healing elixir.

[ Easy Face Mask ] (Ordinary): 50 points, can change appearance, but easily seen through by divine consciousness.

...

Li Fan looked dazzled, but always felt that something was missing.

What he needs is something that can fundamentally change the situation.

For example... completely changing one's appearance and hiding one's identity.

The Purgatory Sect must have issued a pursuit order, and his portrait and features are estimated to have spread. The hidden breath pendant can only conceal one's breath, but cannot change one's appearance or body shape.

The disguise mask is too low-level.

Is there a more advanced tool in the system that can completely change one's identity

Searching for

Recommendation: [Thousand Transformation Mask] (Medium Grade), Price: 1000 points with B value. "

Item Description: Made from the main material of the 'Phantom Demon' inner alchemy, it can change its appearance, body shape, voice at will after wearing a mask, and even simulate any breath that does not exceed one's own level. Additional skill 'Insight Imitation': After observing the target for a period of time, it can perfectly imitate its demeanor, habits, and small movements. It is difficult for cultivators in the Yuan realm to see through, but it is only after careful exploration by cultivators in the Wang realm that clues can be discovered

Li Fan's eyes are bright!

That's it!

Changing one's appearance, hiding one's identity, slacking off in troubled waters, pretending to be a fool... What a magical tool!

Although it's a bit expensive at 1000 points, it's definitely worth it!

bought

Ding! Spend 1000 points to pack B value and exchange it for a Thousand Change Mask! "

With a flash of light, a thin mask as thin as a cicada's wing, with a cold touch and almost transparent appearance appeared in Li Fan's hand.

He put it on his face without hesitation.

The mask automatically fits the face without any foreign object sensation.

Li Fan walked up to the bronze mirror.

Take a thought.

In the mirror, my face began to contort and change: a Chinese face, triangular eyes, hooked nose, and a beard... One by one, images flashed by.

In the end, it was fixed on the face of a middle-aged man who was unremarkable and couldn't be found when thrown into a crowd.

As a result, his figure also slightly increased, his shoulders widened, and his back slightly hunched, emitting a post natal, slightly weathered aura of loose cultivation.

Perfect!

Li Fan experimented with several images, including those of men, women, and children, tall, short, fat, and thin, and even simulated the pressure of a novice cultivator (empty and powerless), all without any flaws.

Hahaha! "Li Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

With this mask, birds can fly high in the sky!

In the future, you can install B as you want, cause trouble as you want, change your vest after finishing, and hide your skills and reputation!

Ding! Successfully exchanged key items and opened a new stage. Released the long-term mission 'Mingzhen Heishi'

Task content: Complete three 'Excellent' or above level B loading events in the Blackstone City area under different identities, and obtain at least one title (such as' Mysterious Master ',' Alchemist ',' Treasure Appraisal Genius', etc.). "

Task rewards: Based on completion and title influence, rewards will be given with a B-value of 2000-10000 points, 1-3 golden draws, and 1 randomly ranked item. "

Task deadline: 30 days

Li Fan's eyes became brighter.

This task is like giving away a B value!

The most essential thing in a chaotic place like Blackstone City is the opportunity to pretend to be a fool!

However, the top priority is to first improve one's cultivation.

He is currently in the mid stage of the day after tomorrow, and with the advantage of the Purple Gold Magic Meridian and martial arts, he can achieve the perfect day after tomorrow. But if you encounter a beginner, it's still not enough to watch.

Among the people pursued by the Purgatory Sect, there are likely to be Primordial cultivators.

System, I still have 54 points left when installing B value. Is there any way to quickly improve my cultivation? "

The host can try taking the remaining medicinal power of the 'Breaking through the Realm Pill' to break through the bottleneck and cooperate with spiritual stone cultivation. In addition, if the host's state of mind has been detected to have broken through (survival in desperate situations, guarding others), which is in line with the essence of 'cultivating demons with fighting spirit' in the 'Swallowing Heavenly Demons Skill', it is recommended that the host engage in a evenly matched or higher-level actual battle to break through during the battle

Breakthrough in actual combat?

Li Fanruo has some thoughts.

The most essential thing that Blackstone City lacks is combat.

Fighting arenas, life and death arenas, hunting monsters outside the city... even walking on the streets can be provoked by people.

Okay, then let's go 'sustain the war with war'

Li Fan put on the Thousand Transformation Mask again and transformed into the image of a young swordsman with a cold face and a long sword on his back, simulating a perfect aura the day after tomorrow.

He pushed open the door and prepared to go to the famous "Blood Arena" in the city to take a look.

As soon as I arrived at the lobby of the inn, I heard a commotion.

Several burly monks were gathered around the counter, holding several portraits and asking the shopkeeper:

The shopkeeper, have you seen these two people? One is a man and the other is a woman. The man is about seventeen or eighteen years old and will be trained the day after tomorrow. He may be injured and carry a black sword on his back. The woman is sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a moon white dress, with a pale face, as if she is sick

Li Fan's heart stirred and he slowed down his pace.

The shopkeeper glanced at the portrait and shook his head, "I haven't seen it before. Sir, the small shop is bustling with people every day, I really can't remember

The cultivators asked a few more questions but didn't get any useful information, so they left angrily.

Li Fan glanced at their departing backs and then looked towards the counter.

Are you a member of the Purgatory Sect? Or did you receive a reward for scattered repairs?

The action is really fast.

It seems that Blackstone City is no longer safe.

He calmly walked out of the inn and merged into the crowd on the street.

Wearing a versatile mask, he is now just an ordinary post perfect scattered cultivator, unremarkable.

But Li Fan knew that Su Youyue must also hide as soon as possible.

He turned around and walked towards the direction where the two had separated, preparing to return to the inn first to remind Su Muyue.

However, just arrived at a relatively secluded alleyway entrance——

A chilly aura, like a venomous snake, quietly locked onto him.

Not targeting his current identity as a 'swordsman'.

But... it's like piercing through a mask, directly locking onto his true self!

Li Fan's hair stood on end all over!

Suddenly turn your head!

In the shadow of the alley, a figure covered in a black robe with only a pair of dark red eyes emerged slowly.

Those eyes were fixed on Li Fan, their voice hoarse and unpleasant, with an undisguised greed and murderous intent:

I found you... a kid with ancient magic skills

Hand over the martial arts and leave you a complete corpse

The breath exploded with a loud explosion!

Early stage!

And it's not an ordinary early stage! That cold and eerie demonic aura instantly reminded Li Fan of someone——

The path of the Blood Sha Elder's technique!

Are you a fellow disciple of Elder Blood Sha? Or was it sent by him?

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat and his face turned solemn.

In the early stage of the initial stage... I was a whole higher realm than him!

Even with the Purple Gold Magic Vein and the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, the front is tough and the chances of winning are not more than 30%.

But it seems that the other party hasn't seen through the Thousand Change Mask? Just relying on some secret technique or induction to lock his position?

Li Fan's eyes flickered with a cold light.

Just because you can't fight doesn't mean you can't fight.

Coincidentally, the system says it wants to break through in real combat

He slowly pulled out his long knife from behind (ordinary ordinary soldier, covering his ears and eyes), pointing the tip of the knife at the black robed person. His voice was deliberately lowered, becoming hoarse:

Do you want a technique

Then trade your life for it

Before the words could finish, Li Fan moved!

Not an attack, but an escape!

Shenxing's ever-changing movements pushed him to the extreme, and his figure transformed into a lingering shadow, rushing towards the wilderness outside the city, which was said to be infested with monsters, deep in the alley!

Want to run? "The black robed man sneered, his figure floating like a ghost, chasing after him closely!

The two of them chased after each other and quickly rushed out of Heishi City, disappearing into the vast mountains and forests outside the city.

Under the moonlight, a pursuit and counterattack that crosses a great realm is about to unfold.

But what Li Fan didn't know was that at the same time as he was being chased, Su Youyue in the inn also welcomed an unexpected guest.

Several monks dressed in the attire of the Purgatory Sect blocked her door.

The leader is none other than Mr. Liu!

He had a resentful and smug smirk on his face:

Miss Su, come with us

Our elders would like to invite you to be a guest
