"Um……!"

In the deepest part of the dark cave, Zheng Hong was lying quietly on the ground. His body suddenly moved slightly, and he murmured vaguely in a low voice.

"I'm not dead?"

Zheng Hong opened his eyes with some difficulty. The first thing that came to his mind was the half-remaining blood-red dagger and those eyes full of fierceness, which instantly made him sober up.

, followed by the pain that came from his body, made him realize that he was not dead.

For a moment, Zheng Hong felt a surge of joy in his heart. He didn't expect that he had survived. He was about to try to sit up, but then he realized that he was tied up. The joy in his heart was overwhelming.

The emotion immediately turned into a kind of surprise, and then I felt something was not good.

"You're awake!"

At this time, a voice came into Zheng Hong's ears. Hearing this voice, Zheng Hong's body froze for an instant. Then he turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from. He immediately saw Xu Jin's figure that was almost about to come out.

The figure that killed him.

The other party was sitting on a stone, with a short knife at his feet, about five meters away from him, looking at him calmly.

At this moment, Zheng Hong had the urge to stay away from the other party immediately, but the rope restraints on his body and his own injuries prevented him from even moving.

After several breaths, under Xu Jin's calm but oppressive gaze, Zheng Hong's mouth twitched slightly and he spoke with a slight stutter.

"Well, wake up, wake up!"

Looking at Zheng Hong who had woken up and had no overreaction, Xu Jin showed a smile on his face. Then he stood up, picked up the short knife at his feet, squatted in front of Zheng Hong, looked at Zheng Hong and said

.

"After seeing me, you must have understood the current situation. It is an accident that you survived. The Blood Owl Taoist soldiers under my command feel that as a practitioner, you are much more valuable if you are brought back alive than dead.

So I brought you back with me!"

Speaking of this, Xu Jin paused for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned cold when looking at Zheng Hong.

"But in my opinion, you are actually better off dead than alive. After all, with your strength, if you still have the strength to resist, then the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers under my command will probably be damaged again, especially you.

Now that you wake up, there may be some means to let Jingguo's masters know your location, which will be even more dangerous for us."

Xu Jin stopped talking and looked at Zheng Hong with cold eyes. At this time, Zheng Hong felt a little cold in his heart under Xu Jin's cold eyes.

Glancing at the dagger in Xu Jin's hand, Zheng Hong felt that the dagger would light up with a bloody light at any moment and then slash towards his neck.

Zheng Hong had just woken up and felt a little thirsty. Now his mouth felt even more dry. His throat couldn't help but twitch slightly, and then he spoke.

"Well, in fact, your blood owl Taoist soldiers are right. I am indeed much more valuable alive than dead. And if you look at me now, I don't have any resistance. You don't need to worry about me.

I am able to contact other Jingguo practitioners. I am not afraid of your jokes. I, the Zheng family, am a small clan in Jingguo. It has already declined. It has not been long since I joined the army. Even if I can contact the masters of Jingguo,

No one will come to save me!"

As Zheng Hong spoke, he carefully paid attention to Xu Jin's face. He found that as he spoke, the cold look in Xu Jin's eyes gradually faded away, and he suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and his speech speed increased a bit.

"Think about it again, although you deserve credit for killing me, if you capture a living practitioner like me, it will definitely be a great achievement, and it won't cost much. And after this, you

The reputation of the Blood Owl Taoist Soldiers will become even louder!"

As Zheng Hong spoke, he felt a bit of humiliation in his heart. He was a great practitioner, but he was caught by a group of Taoist soldiers. He still had to say these words to save his life. It was really shocking.

Feeling frustrated.

But now Zheng Hong just wants to save his own life. There is a great fear between life and death. He has been on the edge of death once and does not want to experience death again.

And as he said just now, his family is a small clan that has declined. It is rare for him to have cultivated a talented practitioner like him. He entered the army to make contributions and did not want to die in obscurity.

.

After Zheng Hong finished speaking, most of the cold look in Xu Jin's eyes had disappeared. It seemed that he was convinced by Zheng Hong's words. Zheng Hong also had a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as he could temporarily stabilize Xu Jin, he would wait until he

As your injuries get better, and you find a suitable opportunity, you will most likely be able to escape.

Although he lost the previous battle with Xu Jin, Zheng Hong was still a practitioner of the Harmony Realm. As long as he could recover a little, Zheng Hong felt that his escape would not be a problem.

With this calculation in his mind, Zheng Hong's expression changed instantly after Xu Jin's words.

"I can give you a chance to live, but I don't trust you. Hand over a ray of your true soul, otherwise you can go on your way in peace!"

As Xu Jin spoke, he raised the short knife in his hand at the same time, and a bloody light flashed on the blade.

Looking at the dagger that glowed with blood, Zheng Hong felt the murderous mood emanating from it and hurriedly spoke again.

"With my current injury, I can't take out a ray of my true soul. I don't have the means. Even if I want to, I can't give it to you...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Hong saw the short knife above his head suddenly falling towards him. The killing mood that rushed towards his face seemed to go straight into his soul for a moment. He felt that the footsteps of death were approaching again.

I couldn't help but screamed in surprise.

Xu Jin used his actual actions to tell Zheng Hong that he was not qualified to bargain with him. The sword was struck quickly and urgently, and it seemed as if he had no intention of holding back at all.

"I promise, ah!"

The moment the blade touched Zheng Hong's neck, the words in Zheng Hong's mouth suddenly changed. He shouted the last three words almost in a roar, and then let out another scream.

When he heard Zheng Hong shouting those three words, the short knife in Xu Jin's hand stopped steadily. The blade stopped on Zheng Hong's neck. The skin at the edge of the blade had been cut open. If Zheng Hong said anything else,

If you move slower, his neck may really be cut open.

"Congratulations, you survived for the time being!" Xu Jin showed a smile on his face, took back the short knife in his hand, and then said to Zheng Hong.

At this time, Zheng Hong felt that he had turned around in front of death again. He was breathing heavily at this time, and the cold sweat on his forehead was sliding down his cheeks.

After Zheng Hong calmed down for a while, his breathing became smooth again. He turned to look at Xu Jin standing next to him, and Zheng Hong said in a hoarse voice.

"I am willing to hand over a ray of my true soul, but to take out a ray of my true soul, there must be something to carry it. I don't have such a thing in my hand. If you don't believe me, you can go through my storage bag!"

Zheng Hong still held the last trace of fantasy in his heart at this time, but when he saw the soldier talisman that Xu Jin took out later, this last trace of fantasy was instantly shattered.

"You are actually the leader of the Blood Owl Taoist Army!" Zheng Hong looked at Xu Jin and continued to say in a hoarse voice. Knowing the identity of Xu Jin's leader, he felt more comfortable now. At least he was not defeated.

In the hands of an ordinary Taoist soldier.

At Zheng Hong's signal, Xu Jin put the soldier talisman in his hand on his forehead, and then injected mana to activate it. Then, Zheng Hong's body shook violently, and he let out a painful wail.

At the same time, Xu Jin felt that there was an extra ray of true soul in the weapon talisman in his hand.

After handing over a ray of true soul, Zheng Hong's originally pale face now looked even paler, and he fell into a coma again, as if he had been hit hard again.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Jin raised his hand and pressed it on the opponent's body, activating the Heaven-Mending Bingge Order in the sea of ​​consciousness, and treated Zheng Hong's injuries for a while.

In fact, Xu Jin had already treated Zheng Hong once before he woke up, otherwise he would not have woken up so quickly.

Out of precaution, Xu Jin just treated Zheng Hong's injury a little this time, as before, to ensure that Zheng Hong could wake up. Even if Zheng Hong had handed over a ray of his true soul, Xu Jin would not

Dare to completely trust Zheng Hong, but being able to get a ray of Zheng Hong's true soul is already the biggest way to limit the other party.

When Zheng Hong woke up again, he found that the light in the cave was brighter than before, but Xu Jin was still sitting next to him, guarding him for who knows how long.

However, after waking up this time, the injuries on my body did not worsen as expected. On the contrary, I felt better and the pain was reduced a lot.

"What's the explanation for changing your mind?"

Xu Jin's voice sounded next to him at this moment. Hearing this, Zheng Hong felt a sense of awe in his heart and subconsciously answered.

"Chanting thoughts means that the spirit and thoughts spread out, then converge again, and then repeat!"

"Hui Yu, what's the explanation?"

"It refers to the magic power flowing through the kidneys, from there, to nourishing the five internal organs!"

"What's the explanation for "it only makes up for it?"

…

Zheng Hong answered Xu Jin's five or six questions in a row. Only then did he come to his senses. When Xu Jin asked the next question, he hesitated and did not answer immediately.

When Xu Jin saw this, he didn't rush for him to give an answer immediately. He just looked at him quietly. After a while, Zheng Hong looked at Xu Jin with a complicated look on his face.

"You want to practice!"

Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded slightly and said, "Well, I would like to ask you for some advice!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Jin smiled at Zheng Hong, showing her white teeth and looking very calm.

However, this smile made Zheng Hong feel a little scared, and he immediately gave up the little calculation that just appeared in his mind.
