The cave is winding and the sunlight cannot penetrate. It is almost pitch dark inside. In the dark and humid environment, there are many poisonous snakes, centipedes, spiders and other poisonous insects.
For mortals, this kind of cave is quite dangerous. Even a Qi-cultivating cultivator like Zhang Zhixuan does not want to be bitten by poisonous insects and suffer additional injuries.
He jumped onto a stone platform in the cave, cleaned it, lit a torch to illuminate the cave, and then took out a three-inch-long silver needle from his waist.
Zhang Zhixuan pulled out a long hair and passed it through the silver needle, then endured the pain to sew up the wound, and then took the blood-replenishing pill to restore his vitality and replenish his mana.
When he fled from Xihefang, he carried a large number of elixirs, spiritual stones, and spiritual talismans. Along the way, Zhang Zhixuan did not lack cultivation resources.
Although his cultivation level was one level lower than that of the man in black, his mana loss was slightly better due to sufficient resources.
Just when Zhang Zhixuan was ready to fight to the death, the man in black who was following him had already arrived near the cave.
The man in black carefully observed the traces of nearby plants and trees, and finally took out a one-foot-long white giant rat from his arms, pointed at the giant rat and said with a smile; "Go and find out where this tricky little rat is hiding."
This white giant rat is also a low-level monster beast, named Soul Seeking Rat. This kind of soul rat is best at identifying spiritual energy and can often find some spiritual objects hidden in the dark, which is most popular among low-level casual cultivators.
Because Zhang Zhixuan carried a large number of spiritual pills and spiritual stones, although he left the man in black far behind.
But the man in black can often track him near him with the help of the Soul Seeking Rat, no matter where Zhang Zhixuan hides, he will be found by the man in black soon.
With the guidance of the Soul Seeking Rat, the man in black quickly came to the entrance of the cave. Looking at the dark environment in the cave, the man in black was also a little frightened.
After the man in black escaped from Wu, he lived in Yu for decades. He knew that this place was not far from the Zhang family's mountain gate, Lushan, and he might meet Zhang family cultivators at any time. If he missed this opportunity, he would not be able to take revenge.
Their family was once very prosperous, with three or four foundation-building cultivators, but because they participated in the civil strife in Wu and suffered heavy losses after failing to stand on the side.
Not only did all the foundation-building cultivators die, but even most of the Qi training cultivators were lost, and only a dozen cultivators escaped to Yu.
The family of the man in black became a casual cultivator. Faced with the harsh environment of cultivating immortals, most of the family cultivators almost gave up cultivation, and their cultivation degenerated into the innate stage and integrated into mortals.
Only the two brothers of the man in black supported each other and never gave up hope. This time when attacking the market, the man in black's younger brother died at the hands of Zhang Zhixuan.
In order to avenge his only relative, he would ignore Wei Mazi's ban and the possible risks and chase Zhang Zhixuan without hesitation.
Although he knew there might be risks in the cave, the man in black still gritted his teeth and finally decided to go deep into the cave to hunt down Zhang Zhixuan.
The man in black dropped a few torches and jumped into the cave.
At the same time, a rattan shield floated above the man in black, completely protecting him inside to prevent Zhang Zhixuan from taking advantage of the dark.
Zhang Zhixuan noticed the man in black as soon as he came in, and he immediately stopped practicing and sacrificed the green bamboo sword to slash at the enemy.
The green bamboo sword was shining, which was very eye-catching in the dark environment and was immediately noticed by the man in black.
The man in black moved his magic power and controlled the rattan shield to block the green bamboo sword.
The green flying sword flashed with a spiritual light and directly pierced the black rattan armor, leaving a mark more than an inch deep.
Because Zhang Zhixuan was born with precocity, his spiritual consciousness was stronger than that of ordinary people. After practicing, his spiritual consciousness was far beyond that of the same level.
Moreover, he practiced the art of controlling objects. With the help of the art of controlling objects, he could control the flying sword very flexibly, no less than the enemy at the seventh level of Qi training.
Under his control, the Cuizhu Sword was not only extremely fast, but also very tricky in every attack. Even though the man in black had a higher cultivation level and a defensive shield, he was still in a mess for a while.
Although Zhang Zhixuan attacked very quickly, he still couldn't do anything to the man in black. The man in black had a deeper magic power than him. Once the delay became a protracted battle that consumed magic power, the man in black would win again.
Zhang Zhixuan saw that the flying sword could not be used, so he pinched the magic spell between his fingers and used the magic of golden needle to attack the enemy.
Two three-inch long golden spiritual lights appeared in Zhang Zhixuan's hands, and then quickly attacked the man in black.
These two spiritual lights were Zhang Zhixuan's only attack magic of golden needle.
Unfortunately, the black-clothed man had a higher level of cultivation and more mana. A magic shield appeared on his body, easily blocking the two golden needles.
The black-clothed man Heihe smiled and said, "You little bastard has run out of tricks. If this is all you have, I must catch you today and let you be cut into pieces and tortured to death, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
After hearing what the black-clothed man said, Zhang Zhixuan sneered, still silent, and continued to deal with the black-clothed man.
In recent days, several consecutive battles have already tempered Zhang Zhixuan's will and spirit. He has no ripples in his heart for the intimidation of the black-clothed man.
Neither of them could do anything to the other for the time being, and the melee lasted for about half an hour.
Seeing that most of the mana of the two had been consumed, there was no winner yet.
The black-clothed man also looked a little ugly. He saw his palm shaking secretly, and a black light shot directly into Zhang Zhixuan's face.
Facing the black flying knife, Zhang Zhixuan was not panicked at all. He used the light body technique to jump four or five feet away and avoided this wave of attacks.
The black flying knife turned slightly and continued to kill Zhang Zhixuan behind him. Zhang Zhixuan continued to use the light body technique and avoided the killing of the flying knife magic weapon three times in a row.
Because of the continuous use of the light body technique, Zhang Zhixuan's meridians were already a little swollen and painful.
His performance was immediately noticed by the man in black. The man in black was excited and shouted excitedly: "Little bastard, you will die in my hands today."
Just when the man in black was very proud, Zhang Zhixuan took out a pair of wooden talismans from his waist and shouted softly: "Go!"
A golden knife with a shining light appeared in front of Zhang Zhixuan and slashed at the man in black swiftly.
The man in black was shocked and immediately raised the rattan armor shield to block the golden knife.
The golden knife was extremely powerful. It slashed in the center of the shield and almost cut the shield into two pieces.
Then, Zhang Zhixuan's bamboo sword followed and slashed the wound on the shield magic weapon, like the last straw on a camel's back, directly cutting the rattan magic weapon into two pieces.
After losing the rattan magic weapon, the man in black was shocked. The rattan magic weapon played a crucial role in his defeat of Zhang Zhixuan three times.
Seeing that the magic talisman in Zhang Zhixuan's hand was extremely powerful and that he might fail, the man in black immediately used his shield magic, and then took out a floating talisman, wanting to escape from here and wait for a chance to kill his enemy later.
