MTL - I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 120 What kind of fate is Xu Bai! (8000)

  Chapter 120 Xu Bai What kind of fate is this! (8000)

  From Xu Bai's angle, the opposite entrance was pitch black, and no light could be seen.

  Following the half of the map, I hurried all the way, and at the last intersection, it turned out to be a cave in a barren mountain.

  It was pitch black inside, and due to the deep relationship, there was a dark wind blowing from the inside, and the slight sound of blowing wind made people's hairs stand on end.

  Hearing Xu Bai's words, Chu Yu stretched out his hand to dig into his bosom, and finally escaped with two peanut-sized beads, one of which was handed to Xu Bai.

   "The beads in my uncle's treasury, as long as they are infused with one of the spirits, they can emit light, very bright."

  Xu Bai received it, felt the warmth of the beads, nodded, and looked towards the dark hole. Now that time is urgent, there is no time to think about it. He took the first step and stepped into it.

   "You follow me, be careful."

  When he stepped into it, he immediately felt a cold rush from the surroundings, and the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

  The darkness around him was like ink, so viscous that it made one's heart chill, but when he walked into the cave, the peanut-sized beads in his hand emitted bursts of light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

That chilly feeling disappeared soon after the light came out. Looking at the bead in his hand, Xu Bai thought to himself that it was a treasure, because when the light came on, he felt a quiet and peaceful atmosphere , passed from the bead.

  Things that can be stored in the royal treasury must be extraordinary. This bead makes people feel at ease, and has an unimaginable effect on stabilizing the mood.

"Master, what do I feel about the things inside? It makes my heart shudder, and the aura of disgust is getting stronger and stronger." Chu Yu walked in from the outside, watching the surrounding darkness being dispelled by the light, her brows became more and more wrinkled deeper.

   This feeling is very similar, just like she had the same feeling in that lake before.

   "If you feel this way, then we are in the right place. No matter what you say, we should be more cautious." Xu Bai walked forward, saying as he walked.

  The last time Chuyu had this kind of situation, it was caused by the dead body of the Dafeng people in the cave, and now the same situation is happening again, which is obviously unusual here.

  This kind of unusualness just means that they came to the right place, and this should be the destination of this trip.

  Xu Bai took out the map, followed the instructions on the map, and walked quickly.

  After Xu Bai spoke just now, Chu Yu also understood the meaning, didn't say anything, just bowed his head and followed behind.

  Although both of them were on their way quickly, they were guarding each other's surroundings to avoid danger.

  The road in the cave extends downward. As the two continue to walk inside, they are getting farther and farther away from the ground.

  The channel is gradually becoming narrower, and only one person can pass through in the end.

   Except for the light of the beads, it was quiet and there was no danger.

   "It has entered the tunnel."

  This narrow situation is similar to the previous lake bottom, which proves that they are already in the tunnel.

   "I encountered a lot of forks in the road just now. Fortunately, I have this map, otherwise we would have wasted a lot of time." Xu Bai turned his head and said to Chu Yu: "Is the feeling of disgust getting deeper and deeper?"

  Chu Yu nodded vigorously, and said with a hum: "Yes, it is getting deeper and deeper, which proves that we are not going wrong."

  Just finished saying this sentence, Chu Yu suddenly froze.

  In front of her, Xu Bai's figure is fading, as if suddenly losing color, disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

  Chu Yu quickly realized that she quickly reached out her hand and grabbed Xu Bai's back, but her hand was empty.

   Not only that, the surrounding scenery is also fading, from the original darkness to transparent, then blurred, and finally clear again.

   After everything became clearly visible, Chu Yu turned her head to look at the surrounding scenery, and found that she was outside the cave again.

   "What's going on here? Where's the young master? Why did I suddenly appear here again?" Chu Yu was full of question marks and anxious, unable to figure out the current situation.

  Looking at the dark hole in front of her, anxiously, she raised her feet and walked in.

  Because of the first time, she traveled faster this time.

   But it was still at the very beginning, that is, they had just entered the place not far from the tunnel, and the previous scene was reproduced again, reappearing outside the cave.

   "How could this be?" Chu Yu was startled.

  But the situation at this moment was so bizarre that she couldn't help but think of the lesson Xu Bai taught her before, and one sentence in it was very important.

  The more dangerous you are, the more you need to know how to think calmly. Panic is the prerequisite for people to fall into a desperate situation, and calmness is the key to breaking the situation.

  Thinking of this, Chu Yu forced himself to calm down, his mind was running fast, and all the things he learned in the palace flashed in his mind like a movie, and he suddenly thought of the reason.

   "It's feng shui, feng shui formation, in feng shui, every eye is a soldier." Chu Yu's eyes widened slightly, and his heart trembled slightly.

  Now that the Feng Shui formation has been completed, it marks one thing—the person behind the scenes is here.

  After Feng Shui is formed, everything in this Feng Shui pattern is a weapon to attack people, and she must have been done by someone behind the scenes.

   "But why did he just pass me on and not do other things? Is there something wrong here?" Chu Yu's mind was running fast, and her heart was full of anxiety.

  She was teleported out now, and there was only Xu Bai inside. She was worried that Xu Bai would not be able to handle it.

  But after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it, and repeated the previous behavior again, and walked again.

   Walking halfway, the surrounding scenery reappeared as before. This time Chu Yu did not hesitate, and manipulated the flying sword to shoot towards the surroundings.

  As the flying sword shot out, the surrounding scenery shook for a while, but soon returned to calm.

   "It can be hit, but my current strength is not enough to completely destroy it." Chu Yu thought to himself.

  The scenery gradually became clear, and she appeared outside the cave again.

"No, Cousin and the others must have gone to a fake place, and they will come here soon. I will continue to try to crack it. After they come over, I can gather all my abilities to break this feng shui pattern." Chu Yu bit Gritting his teeth, he continued the previous action without stopping.

   "Master, you must persevere, we will come in to help soon."

  …

   On this side, Chu Yu has already fallen into a cycle, and on the other side, Xu Bai also saw Chu Yu disappear with his own eyes.

  The moment Chu Yu disappeared, before Xu Bai could react, a voice sounded from around.

   "Xu Bai."

  The sound came from all directions, and I couldn't find the direction or identify the source of the sound.

  Hearing the voice, Xu Bai pulled out the ghost knife from his waist, and the black light of the Vajra Heart Demon Physique rose from his body: "Are you finally willing to come out to meet each other?"

  The darkness ahead produced a huge vortex, and in the vortex, a translucent figure walked out.

  This person's face was full of stab wounds, and he looked extremely terrifying, but at this moment, there was an inexplicable aura on this person.

  Although it is standing there, it doesn't look like standing there.

  Between the virtual and the real, people can't tell whether it's a person or something standing in front of them.

   "Don't worry, I just don't want that guy with the blood of the Great Chu Kingdom to interfere with my Feng Shui pattern. After all, I can't spare too much energy now to deal with a master like you."

  In the voice, there was a sense of exhilaration that the revenge was about to be avenged, as if standing in front of him was not Xu Bai, but the dishes that were left to him.

   "Let me introduce myself, my name is You Mu, the criminal minister of the Great Wind Kingdom." You Mu had a smile on his face, and the scars around him were brought on by the smile, making him look hideous and terrifying.

   "I have no interest in a person who dare not even stand in front of me, and you are not qualified to mention his name." Xu Bai said lightly.

When You Mu heard this sentence, he didn't mean to be angry, but smiled and said: "I have indeed stood in front of you, but now I have integrated with the entire authentic Feng Shui, I am Feng Shui, all of this is still Thanks to you, if my jade hadn't been robbed, I wouldn't have paid such a price."

   "Then you still have to thank me. Tell me, if you want to be black or white, just say so." Xu Bai hooked his fingers and said with disdain.

"Happy, then I'll just say it straight, I want your fate, as long as you obediently agree to me, I will make you less painful, this is good for you and me." You Mu said with a state of wisdom beads: "You have reduced the pain, and I have also saved time. After all, you can't beat the whole Feng Shui pattern."

   "I don't understand, why do you want my fate?" Xu Bai suddenly changed his style of painting, and asked, "I'm good at everything, but I'm very curious. Since you already have a plan in mind, why don't you tell me what to do."

You Mu narrowed his eyes: "What's the point of telling you, I will pay myself for the lack of jade, but I really overestimated the consumption here, and the woman with the blood of the Great Chu Kingdom, and the Fengshui pattern of the Dafeng Kingdom Rejection is not suitable at all, and I don't need to spend a lot of money to deal with you two, only you are the most suitable."

   Xu Bai doesn't understand Fengshui. After all, the Fengshui of this world has nothing to do with the previous life.

  But he still heard a layer of meaning.

   This guy obviously wanted his life.

  Xu Bai heard the words, looked at the ugly person in front of him with the eyes of an idiot, and said, "Mentally retarded."

  Simple two words, the meaning is already obvious.

  You Mu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, showing an extremely haughty look: "Forget it, since you don't want to die obediently, I'll beat you half to death, and then steal your life."

   As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind passed through his chest, without causing him the slightest harm.

  Xu Bai retracted his knife and frowned.

   "As I said, I have already combined with the authentic Fengshui pattern. Unless you find my real body, how can you crack the power of Fengshui? You don't have this ability."

  You Mu's figure gradually faded away, and soon disappeared.

  When You Mu disappeared, everything around him began to change.

  The narrow passage is spreading towards both sides. It looks a lot wider, but the crisis has not weakened in the slightest.

  Whether it is the walls or the ground, or the endless darkness, it seems to be alive.

  They have spirituality, but this spirituality represents endless killing opportunities.

  These murderous intentions were all aimed at Xu Bai. Under the feng shui pattern, Xu Bai was in it and was targeted by the entire feng shui pattern.

   "This kind of feeling is quite good. It feels like an enemy of the world." Xu Bai stared at the darkness ahead and said.

   Just as he said these words, a thorn suddenly appeared on the ground behind him, hitting his back straight.

   "No martial arts."

  It's not good to hit anything, but it hits the waist.

   "Boom!"

  Cracks appeared in the black light of the Vajra Heart Demon Body, and a huge force pierced through it, knocking him back.

   Before he could react, he found that the surrounding walls were gradually shrinking.

  The darkness mixed with the air, like an invisible giant sword, slammed into his chest fiercely.

  The black light shook violently again, and there were more and more cracks. Fortunately, Xu Bai cast the star shift in time to transfer the attack to another place.

   Being in the feng shui pattern, Xu Bai at this moment has been targeted by this world.

   This feeling is very wonderful, like fighting against the heaven and the earth, full of endless happiness, but also brings endless troubles.

  Xu Bai held the Ghost Head Saber in his hand, and continued to use the violent wind from Duanpo Sanshi, shooting towards the surroundings, blasting the walls that were gradually shrinking into debris all over the sky.

  The other hand patted his waist, countless copper coins spun around him continuously, and Huifeng Liuxue was displayed by him.

  The darkness that came from the attack was disturbed by the copper coins, and gradually disappeared into nothingness.

   "Happy!" Xu Bai's face showed excitement.

  The opponent is very strong, especially if he integrates into Feng Shui regardless of the cost, it is even more shockingly powerful.

  At least from the present point of view, it is a huge trouble for Xu Bai not to be able to find the real body of the other party, but the reason why he feels happy is because he can use what he has learned, and that kind of joyful feeling arises spontaneously.

  In the past, Xu Bai was thinking that the loneliness of masters written in those novels was pure nonsense.

   But since he gained more and more abilities, he also changed from rank nine to rank five. The enemies under him have never been able to pass a stick of incense.

  Now there is someone who can make him happy, that is really cool.

  In the darkness, You Mu, who was hiding in the dark, was full of astonishment.

   "This man is outrageously strong!"

  As a feng shui master, he knows the function of this feng shui array very well.

   Among the five ranks, almost no one can compete with him. After all, it is impossible for anyone to compete with the heaven and earth in the Fengshui pattern.

  But the man in front of him did it.

   Not only did he do it, but he even held one end firmly.

   What does the voltage regulator at one end represent? Representing people of the same rank, very few people can compete with this man.

   "It's a pity, if this person could have appeared in the Dafeng Country at that time, he would have been famous all over the world by now." You Mu thought secretly.

  Although she was shocked, You Mu didn't panic at all.

   Judging from the current situation, Xu Bai has indeed stabilized his head, but this is only the current situation.

  You Mu was able to choose this place as the place for the decisive battle, so he naturally had some considerations, because there are a large number of corpses of Dafeng people stored here.

   And these corpses are his continuous supply.

  He has a steady stream of supplies, but the opponent does not, enough to slowly exhaust the opponent to the point where he has no energy, and then he goes up to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

   "Hurry up!" You Mu urged the power of Feng Shui, and from the hundreds of corpses, power was continuously drawn out.

He is speeding up the pace, because he also knows that Xu Bai is not the only one here, there are several other people who have not rushed here. If they do arrive, forcefully break through the maze he set up and come here. He's probably done for.

  Before he did not choose to deal with Chu Yu, one is that Chu Yu's fate is the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom, and he is out of place.

  The reason why he didn't kill Chu Yu directly was because Chu Yu was also a master and would consume him a little.

  What he wants to do now is to get rid of Xu Bai with all his strength.

  Xu Bai, who was attacking freely and recklessly, suddenly frowned. He felt the pressure of the surrounding world suddenly increased, and the frequency of attacks towards him became faster and faster.

   "Can't you wait? That's fine, I can't wait too." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.

   I've already had enough fun, so the next step is to find that guy and kill him completely.

   As for how to find it, Xu Bai has his own method.

   When I was chatting with this guy at the beginning, this guy once said that he would beat him to death before coming out.

  If this is the case, let him do what he wants, and he will be beaten to death. This guy will come out, right?

  Thinking of this, Xu Bai continued to attack according to the rhythm at the beginning, but in this rhythm, there was a little performance mixed in.

   There is no trace of this performance, his rhythm is slowing down, as if he is gradually struggling.

   After a while, the black light on his body suddenly shattered.

  A spike appeared on the wall, piercing Xu Bai's chest.

   "Fuck, it hurts!"

  Xu Bai rolled his eyes, feeling that after acting in so many scenes, the price he paid for acting this time is quite high.

   Before he could think about it, many spikes appeared around him, piercing through his limbs from different angles.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. The pain was already numb. Even the golden silk armor he obtained in Tiger Village for the first time was shattered into fragments, but he didn't make any screams, but He looked at the darkness not far away.

  You Mu came out from the darkness, with a smile on that terrifying face: "It's a pity, I am the one who wins."

  He looked at the various wounds on Xu Bai's body, and he already had a plan in mind.

   These are serious injuries, as a member of this Feng Shui pattern, of course he can feel it.

  Suffering such a serious injury, Xu Bai couldn't even move, how could he resist? So he stepped out boldly.

"Don't blame me, you are an opponent worthy of respect, but if I want to steal your life, I have to let you live." You Mu came to Xu Bai and shook his head: "But don't worry, Yin I'll accompany you along the way."

  Xu Bai "glared" at You Mu, wanted to speak but didn't say it, instead coughed out a mouthful of blood.

   This is indeed not his acting, this is a real experience.

   What a pain!

  If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t spend so much time playing.

   But now that this guy is out, let's wait and see what happens.

  Thinking of this, the anger in Xu Bai's eyes deepened.

   "Hey, you and I are both dying, why do you still have such a big resentment?" You Mu sighed, raised his right hand, wrapped in the power of Feng Shui, and pressed it on the top of Xu Bai's head.

  Xu Bai felt the touch on the top of his head, and a bright light came out of his eyes.

  At this time, You Mu noticed Xu Bai's expression, and felt bad in his heart.

   No, he has been seriously injured irreparably, how could he still have the strength to resist?

If it was outside, he might still be able to sense that Xu Bai was lying to him and acting, but now that he is in his feng shui, he can feel that Xu Bai has absolutely no possibility of acting, which is indeed irresistible serious injury.

   But sometimes things tend to go in the opposite direction.

  The corners of Xu Bai's mouth raised, and the true energy in his body was consumed rapidly, as fast as drinking water. In the blink of an eye, the true energy disappeared completely.

  As all the true energy was exhausted, his injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   Fast, unbelievably fast.

   Immortal body.

  The power of the true energy does not dissipate, and the body does not die.

  The more serious the injury, the more true energy he will consume. This has nothing to do with the speed of repair. If he consumes all the true energy at once, the wound on his body will heal at the fastest speed.

   It doesn't matter if the true energy in the body is empty.

  —Strengthening the Kidney Method!

  The next moment, a warm current flowed through both kidneys, and immediately after, the Zhenyuan force on his body was quickly replenished.

  Copper coins flashed quickly from the purse at his waist, piercing You Mu's body densely.

   "Ah—" You Mu trembled all over and let out a scream.

  He himself is a translucent shape. After being attacked, the transparency of his body gradually deepens, and he has obviously suffered huge damage.

  Xu Bai didn't talk nonsense, and operated the copper coin to return quickly, piercing through You Mu's body again, and at the same time drew out the ghost knife, the light of the knife turned into an afterimage, densely wrapped from top to bottom.

   "Impossible, how can you still resist?"

  The screams were mixed with voices of surprise and uncertainty. Obviously, this scene has exceeded You Mu's common sense.

   What kind of person is this!

  Can this outrageous recovery ability be found in humans?

  He felt that what he was fighting was not a person, but an extremely powerful monster, a monster that made him feel trembling all over.

   But he was talking to himself, but no one answered. At this moment, Xu Bai's face was full of murderous looks, which made his scalp tingle.

  A knife is faster than a knife, and copper coins are like shooting stars.

  You Mu could feel that he was about to die, he couldn't live on his own, and now that he was hit so hard, he didn't have much time left.

   "Since I can't steal all your fate, I can steal a little bit. I can't change the feng shui of this half of Yunlai Mansion, but I can make all the tunnels collapse."

  You Mu knew very well in his heart that he was bound to die, but he couldn't make the other party feel better before he died.

  Originally he planned to destroy this half of Feng Shui, and since then this place has become a desperate place, but now he can only settle for the next best thing.

  After all, he couldn't steal all of Xu Bai's life, he could only steal a little, and then let half of the tunnels collapse.

  Half of Yunlai Mansion is built on tunnels, if this half of the tunnels collapse, this half of Yunlai Mansion will instantly become ruins.

  However, compared to directly changing Feng Shui, letting it collapse can become a ruin, but it can be rebuilt.

  You Mu no longer cares about it, people who are dying will always go crazy, and he will bring as much price as he can bring.

  Thinking of this, he frantically stimulated the power of Feng Shui in his body, and then ignored the pain on his body, and began to steal Xu Bai's fate.

   Originally, Xu Bai was able to steal everything when he had no power to resist, but now there is only a trace of it.

  Before You Mu's eyes, Xu Bai's destiny was pulled away a little bit, pouring towards him.

  The next moment, You Mu was stunned.

   "What did I see?"

   Feng Shui masters can see something related to others by stealing their lives, but at this moment, You Mu is looking at the scene in front of him, and his whole body is in a state of sluggishness.

  Bursts of voices are like the voices of gods and demons, constantly churning around Xu Bai, and behind Xu Bai, darkness and light suddenly appear, the two are intertwined and engulfed each other, but there is a sense of harmony in the entanglement.

  Above the darkness and light, there is a face whose facial features cannot be seen clearly.

   Half of this face is shining with holiness, while the other half is dry bones.

  Holy and evil are intertwined, but they can be integrated in a very stable way. This sudden feeling makes the scalp tingle.

  You Mu is lost, lost in it.

  He seemed to see a person sitting on a cloud, with a fairy air.

  But under this cloud, there are corpses like a hill, full of evil spirits.

  You Mu's heart trembled violently. At this moment, he was speechless, but he kept shouting wildly deep in his heart.

   "The position that cannot be seen directly, the unfathomable abyss, the number one fate in the world, the life of no life that only appears in legends, how could it appear on him!"

   You Mu shouted inwardly, but he had no chance.

  Xu Bai raised the saber in his hand and dropped it, and with the last swipe of the saber, You Mu's vitality was completely cut off.

  The surrounding scenery disappeared, and he returned to the narrow passage again.

   "Huh..." Xu Bai let out a long breath, and wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

   "Today is really cool."

  It’s really exciting, this Yu Mu is very strong,

   But he didn't understand one thing, why You Mu showed that shocked expression before he died, as if he saw a ghost.

   It was impossible for him to stop and ask in the battle of life and death just now, but now that the other party is dead, he doesn't have to ask.

   It doesn't matter, anyway, if you die, you will die.

  Xu Bai thought of this and retracted the ghost knife into its sheath, looked at the darkness ahead, and thought for a while.

  He is thinking, do you want to go and see?

   Unexpectedly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

  Xu Bai turned around, and saw a figure rushing towards him, and fell into his arms.

   "Woooooh, young master, I thought you were dead." Without saying a word, Chu Yu grabbed his sleeve and wiped the tears on his face.

  Behind Chu Yu, Yun Zihai, Qin Feng and the man in black let out a sigh of relief.

  They felt something was wrong, they went to a wrong place, hurried over, and saw Chu Yu kept trying.

  At that time, Chu Yu was already in extreme panic, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't calm down.

  During this time, Xu Bai's teachings to her had long been kept in mind. Chu Yu couldn't break through, so naturally she became more and more impatient, and almost cried, but now she really did.

   "Brother Xu, as long as you are fine, let's go find the person behind the scenes and get rid of him." Yun Zihai was also relieved.

  In his mind, Xu Bai is like a confidant, the two hit it off so much, naturally he couldn't bear to see this scene.

  Xu Bai pushed Chu Yu away, and said with disgust: "Just wipe your tears, don't stick your nose on me."

  What about beautiful women, snot is also very dirty, okay?

   On this point, Xu Bai has this point of view.

   When I used to watch videos on my mobile phone, I often saw some girls posting fitness photos, especially when they turned their backs to the mirror and raised their backs so high that they looked like their pelvis was leaning forward.

  The key point is that there are a bunch of people commenting on what looks good.

  Xu Bai was very confused at the time, so he directly posted a comment, but he was blocked by the other party in an instant.

   Comments are simple too - such a beautiful butt, doesn't it shit?

  He felt that he was telling the truth, but he really didn't expect to break the opponent's defense in an instant.

  Hey, a woman's heart, a sea needle.

  Chu Yu was told by Xu Bai, she quickly shrank her head, took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped her face, and didn't dare to look up, feeling a little embarrassed.

   "There is no need to find someone behind the scenes, he is already dead." Xu Bai said flatly.

  After these words came out, the audience was silent, even Chu Yu stopped wiping his face and stared at Xu Bai dumbfounded.

  Xu Bai told the general story, and now the surroundings became even more silent.

   "Brother Xu, are you really not the reincarnation of those old monsters?" Yun Zihai didn't know how many times he asked this question.

   "Well, it's not a loss for me to lose to you." Qin Feng raised his head arrogantly, the meaning in his words was indeed to admit defeat.

  Chu Yu didn't speak, and secretly said: "Am I going to fight for Uncle, or for Dad?"

  The man in the black robe was the worst. Although he didn't say anything, his expression had already betrayed him, and his mouth almost couldn't close.

  Xu Bai waved his hand and said, "Normal operation."

  The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, feeling that it was a wrong decision to rush here just now.

   "Then shall we go back now?" Yun Zihai asked.

   Now that we've settled here, it's time to go back.

  Xu Bai thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, he did not expect Chu Yu to speak first.

   "Master, I feel that boredom hasn't disappeared yet." Chu Yu raised her head, leaning her snow-white neck, and said.

   Having said that, Xu Bai frowned, and turned to look at Yun Zihai.

  Yun Zihai was the same, the fierce aura he encountered at the bottom of the lake appeared again.

   "Could it be related to the corpse of Dafeng Kingdom?" Xu Bai said.

  The man in black shook his head: "I have been with him for a long time, and some things understand that this Feng Shui master is dead, and the Feng Shui array is broken, so it should not affect them anymore."

   "Then what's the reason?" Xu Bai frowned even deeper.

  Chu Yu shook her head, her face full of confusion.

   At this time, a sudden change occurred.

   "Boom...boom...boom..."

  In the dark passage ahead, footsteps sounded one after another.

   During the recent period, it seems that neither the comments nor this chapter can be displayed
