Killing God

May 29th, sunny.

It was nearly June, and the dawn was getting earlier and earlier, and Qingyu Island gradually became hot every day, but this little heat did not feel much to most of the Lingxiaozong disciples who practice Xiaocheng on the island.

Shen Shi left the house early in the morning, and under the fresh sea breeze, he walked all the way to the pier on the south side of Qingyu Island, preparing to board the ship to Demon Island.

During the period when the Demon Island was temporarily closed, although Shen Shi could not be said to be doing nothing, his income was still greatly affected, including the deal with Zhong Qinglu, and these days he was unable to collect a third share of the spirit. Jing, it makes him sometimes regret buying the little wishful ring that he wears on his left hand at the moment.

But fortunately, this embarrassing day is finally over. At this moment, he has an urge to go hunting on the Demon Island. In addition to this, this rare period of calming down to practice spiritually, in addition to his daily intake Outside of Lingjing's homework, I also practice water archery every day. The speed of using the mysterious spiritual power at the center of the eyebrows to cast water archery is still the same. It takes three breaths of time. It must be an insurmountable barrier, but this The casting speed is already faster than most people think, at least for the moment on Demon Island, it should be enough.

In addition, he also did not lose the other normal spiritual power in the qi channels in his body. Although the spiritual power scattered in the qi channels is very difficult to cast the five-element spell, all the monks in the world are like this. After being tempered, the same spells can also be released. After constant practice, Shen Shi gradually became familiar with this difficult method. Now the time it takes to activate water archery with normal spiritual power in the body has progressed from the original ten breaths to... nine breaths. .

Basically, it is still useless. In the battle with the monster beast, ten breaths are long enough for the monster to bite your throat, and the nine breaths obviously end in the same way.

When the sun on the distant sea level shone on the big ship on the pier, Shen Shi had already arrived here, but unlike his imagination, the pier was deserted at the moment, and there was no one, only the big ship. Moored alone by the sea.

Shen Shi turned his eyes and looked around, and for a moment he was shocked. Could it be that he had misheard the news? Today is not the day when Demon Island will reopen? At this time in the past, the senior senior brothers and sisters in the refining realm waiting to board the ship here are not twenty or more than ten. How come there is no one seen today?

He wandered around here for a while, but no one came. Just when Shen Shi himself felt that the news might be wrong, suddenly a sound of footsteps came from behind him.

Shen Shi's spirits lifted up, and he quickly turned his head to look around, only to see a figure walking to the pier, a familiar face, but the person Shen Shi never thought he could see today.

It is Gan Ze.

I haven’t seen it for a while. This noble son from an ancient family is obviously more haggard than the last time I saw. There is a suffocation in the silence between his eyebrows. Even from the outside, he can see that he has a heavy burden in his heart. Pressing on his heart makes him frown.

And when Gan Ze walked closer and looked around, he was obviously surprised at the desertedness near the pier. In the end, his eyes fell on Shen Shi. The two teenagers looked at each other. After a while, Shen Shi met. He nodded, smiled, and said:

"Morning."

Gan Ze was taken aback, and then he smiled, although perhaps because of his heavy heart, his smile was a bit far-fetched, and said, "Morning, uh, isn't it the day when the Demon Island reopens? Why is there no one here? ?"

Shen Shi silently glanced at him, not knowing what to say for a while.

Gan Ze waited for a while, then suddenly woke up with a trace of embarrassment across his face, and said, "Sorry, I, I didn't mean you are not human... Whenever I go to Demon Island on weekdays, there are many seniors and sisters here. , I was surprised for a while, so I said something wrong."

Shen Shi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I just arrived not long ago. What I saw was this scene. I don't know what happened."

Gan Ze frowned. Just when he was about to say something, both of them heard the movement of the big ship at the same time. They turned their heads and saw that two figures appeared on the deck and then walked down.

Both of them seemed to be disciples of the Ning Yuan realm in their early twenties. One of them was Zeng Zhibai, who was on Demon Island in the past. There was one more person beside him, a woman, when Chen Shi's eyes fell on her. At that time, she was taken aback, and she saw this woman with beautiful eyebrows, and she was actually the same Xu Yanzhi that she had seen in the Hall of Five Elements.

The two of them walked down side by side, their eyes swept across the empty pier, and their expressions remained unchanged. Only when they saw the two teenagers standing there, one of them was Gan Ze, their expressions seemed to be slightly different. Surprised.

As juniors, Shen Shi and Gan Ze greeted the past. Shen Shi was a little surprised, and said, "Sister Xu, why are you here? Besides, isn't Demon Island reopening here today? Why is it so deserted? "

Xu Yanzhi also seemed to have some impression of Shen Shi. He smiled and nodded to him, and said, "Yes, today is indeed the day when Demon Island reopens. As for no people, this..."

She turned her head and glanced at Zeng Zhibai. Zeng Zhibai looked at the sky and sighed: "The time is up, it should be the two of them."

Xu Yanzhi nodded and said, "Get on the boat."

Shen Shi and Gan Ze looked at each other, with countless questions in their hearts, but they still followed these two to board the ship and stood on the deck. Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai did not rush to set off the ship immediately, but called them both over. Xu Yanzhi first glanced at Gan Ze deeply, and then said:

"My name is Xu Yanzhi. Senior Brother Wang Gen called me to work here on Demon Island. Something happened a while ago. Demon Island was temporarily closed. I think you all know about this." Hearing this, Gan Ze said with a face. Slightly stiffened, they slowly lowered their heads. Both Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai's eyes swept over his figure. At the same time, they only listened to Xu Yanzhi speaking slowly, saying, "Before going to Demon Island, I have to tell you something about it, because ..."

"The rules have changed."

It has been a long time since the establishment of Demon Island, and the rules have also undergone considerable changes. In the past 100 years, in order to take care of new disciples, Ling Xiaozong has often sent Ning Yuan realm disciples on duty on Demon Island. When the disciples were in danger in the task of catching monsters, they would help them. Especially after Wang Gen came to Qingyu Island three years ago to preside over the newcomer affairs, he was even more cautious. He took care of these juniors and sisters very much and did not want to hurt anyone. For this reason, the number of Ning Yuan realm disciples on duty was increased from one to three.

However, few people know that when the Demon Island was just established, the original intention of the ancestors of the High Heaven Sect was not the case. The new disciples who went to Demon Island in the past were completely indifferent, letting them act on their own, even if there was a risk of death. No one ever asked, because in the eyes of the senior Ling Xiaozong at the time, Demon Island was originally a place for actual combat, and no one forced him to come here. Now that I have come to Demon Island, I will naturally experience the most primitive and true fighting.

Between life and death, it is all on their own, and all kinds of dangerous and adversity can only be overcome by themselves.

These original intentions seem to have gradually faded after many years, but after the incident on the Demon Island, at the Jinhongshan Elders Conference, there was a certain radical-tempered elder of the Yuandan realm who couldn't stand it, thinking that the sect is now facing newcomers. The disciples really took care of them too much. As a result, these rookie disciples didn’t have any real combat training. They even lost their self-knowledge when confronting dangerous monsters and ghosts. The basic qualities such as doing according to one’s ability were not seen at all, so keep going. What good seedlings will the newcomers cultivated on Herring Island have?

After several disputes, coupled with the distress of Ganze Demon Island, the various waves and clouds in the sect were treacherous. Indeed, many elders did not please their eyes, and they all spoke in agreement. So in the end, the rules on the Demon Island Finally, it was changed and returned to its original appearance.

Gan Ze's complexion was very ugly, his hands hanging beside him, quietly clenched into fists, as if he was suppressing his irritability, while Shen Shi raised his brows, and a hint of anxiety passed in his heart, saying: "Sister, you Means to say..."

Xu Yanzhi sighed, looked at them with a little bit of regret and sympathy, and said: "From today onwards, Brother Zeng and I are only responsible for sending you to the Demon Island. Other than that, we will not set foot. One step on Demon Island."

Zeng Zhibai also said next to him: "After you go to the island, you have to rely on yourself for everything. No matter where you go, what kind of monsters or ghosts you hunt, it is up to you to decide for yourself. We will never interfere, but we will never interfere. , Even if you are injured in the demon hunting, or even severely injured and dying, as long as you don’t climb this ship, even if you are caught up by the monster beast on the bottom seawall, we will not take action."

Both Shen Shi and Gan Ze pale at the same time.

Xu Yanzhi sighed and said, "The rules are like this, but you still have to decide whether to go to Demon Island or not. If you don't want to go, you can disembark now."

There was a brief silence on the deck. Neither Shen Shi nor Gan Ze spoke, but the figures of the two people also did not move, and there was no sign of leaving.

After a while, Zeng Zhibai nodded, a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes, and said: "Okay, since you still don't leave after you know the rules, then set off. In short, after arriving at the Demon Island, everything can only depend on you. Own, life and death are not close to each other, so be careful."

The ship lifted its anchor and trembled, and slowly pulled out of the dock. Shen Shi on the deck suddenly asked Xu Yanzhi, "Senior Sister Xu, besides the two of us, where are the senior brothers and sisters in the Qi Refining Realm?"

Xu Yanzhi said indifferently: "The news that the rules have been changed on Demon Island has been spread these days, and they must all know it. As for why no one is here today, I don't understand."

After that, he turned and left, leaving Shen Shi and Gan Ze standing on the deck speechlessly.

At the other end of the deck, Xu Yanzhi walked to Zeng Zhibai, who was manipulating the ship. After a while, he heard Zeng Zhibai snorting and said, "These high-level disciples in the Qi Refining Realm are really unskillful. When I heard that the rules have changed. After no one took care of him, no one dared to come to Demon Island."

Xu Yanzhi shook his head silently and glanced at the other end of the ship. There were two fifteen-year-old teenagers waiting in silence, even if they had never met before, a truly dangerous situation.

"Speaking of which, there are still some good seedlings in this batch of new disciples." She said softly with a little smile.

Zeng Zhibai followed her gaze to the deck and nodded. He seemed to agree with Xu Yanzhi's words, but then his gaze turned to the direction of Demon Island farther away, passing deep in his eyes. At a loss.
