Because the village in front of him disappeared.
Or rather, there never was a so-called village here.
The village he saw was just an illusion created by a formation.
The eight directions of the Bagua began to change.
The village disappeared, replaced by endless water beasts.
As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.
Just endless water beasts roaring.
The sound of the beast roar alone could burst one's eardrums.
"I don't know who you are; please co out and et ," Xu Zii said calmly.
"Weren't you having a good ti killing beneath Fireloathing City?
Today I'll let you kill to your heart's content," a voice echoed from all directions.
It was impossible to discern the voice's true location.
"These water beasts are endless; let's see how long you can keep killing."
"I an no harm, just wish to understand so things," Xu Zii said.
He ca to inquire about the Ancient Gods, naturally not wanting to antagonize the other party.
"As for those water beasts, they shouldn't be much of a problem for you.
If you can create creatures, I doubt you'd mind these matters."
Upon hearing Xu Zii's words, the voice paused for a mont.
Finally, it spoke again: "Whatever your reason is, break my formation first."
As the voice fell, thousands of water beasts were already charging forward.
"Breaking your formation is no trouble," Xu Zii smiled.
Traceless Compass and Heaven Expanse Astrolabe hovered above his head.
Basically, there's no formation he can't break.
Holding his blade in his right hand, no matter how many water beasts approached, they would be slain to the last by him.
Although these water beasts are seemingly endless.
Traceless speedily calculated overhead.
Finally, the Bagua directions of the formation were deciphered, Xu Zii looked towards the direction indicated by the compass.
He tossed Tyrant Shadow from his hand.
Like lightning, it vanished in an instant.
With a "bang," Tyrant Shadow seed to shatter sothing, breaking a corner of this formation.
More and more water beasts approached this broken corner, not wanting Xu Zii to get close. Visit My Virtual Library Empire (*) for more.
Even the person hidden in the dark was a bit anxious.
A powerful torrent shot out, attempting to destroy Xu Zii's compass.
"Just waiting for you," Xu Zii laughed.
With a wave of his right hand, the tossed Tyrant Shadow returned and slashed at the source of the torrent.
The blade intent shook the heavens.
The torrent was directly shattered, and in the boundless void, it seed to have struck an existence.
Finally, a muffled groan was heard.
And the formation gradually faded.
Xu Zii looked around, and indeed, as he suspected, there was no village here.
There was only a wasteland.
A wasteland piled with white bones and bleak to the extre.
On this wasteland stood a thatched hut.
Like a dying flower, the last remaining bloom, solitary and alone.
Xu Zii looked down, spotting sporadic bloodstains on the ground.
Trailing all the way towards the direction of the thatched hut.
Step by step, he walked towards the thatched hut, with Tyrant Shadow hovering around him.
Finally, he arrived in front of the thatched hut.
Xu Zii shouted loudly: "Co out."
But as his voice dropped, there was no response from inside the thatched hut.
"If you don't co out, I'll slash this thatched hut," Xu Zii continued.
Upon hearing no response still, Xu Zii grasped Tyrant Shadow and rudely slashed forward.
"Is this how you ask for a favor?" an aged voice suddenly echoed.
Then the door to the thatched hut was opened.
What appeared in sight first was a hand as withered and dry as bones.
Then a black-clad elder slowly approached.
His black clothes covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of old eyes visible.
Blood seeped from the elder's chest.
He clutched his chest with his right hand.
"Young man, you hard ; aren't you afraid I'll refuse your request?" the elder said.
"Do you know my purpose?" Xu Zii asked.
He was inquiring about the Ancient Gods, and the only ones aware are those from the Black Crow Mansion.
"I don't know, but since you tracked my water beasts here, you're undoubtedly seeking for sothing," the elder affird.
"I'm not seeking you, but soone behind you," Xu Zii shook his head.
"There's no one else; since long ago, I've always been alone," the elder said darkly.
"No, with your strength, you haven't created life," Xu Zii replied.
"Does that person refuse to see , or do you not want to et them?"
The elder's face changed slightly.
He hadn't expected Xu Zii's observations to be so penetrating.
He inadvertently exposed so many flaws.
"Kid, I don't understand what you an."
The elder snorted coldly: "If you have no business, you'd best leave quickly."
"No problem, I'll make you understand slowly," Xu Zii smiled.
Tyrant Shadow in hand advanced, directly attacking the elder.
"Damn it," the elder shouted.
Behind him, streams of water spirit energy burst forth.
Water spirit energy is a very powerful force within the heavens and earth.
It's said that only in landscapes and rivers is there even a bit of water spirit energy.
Once water spirit energy is stripped away, it ans this landscape and river will entirely turn into a dead land.
Such trendous water spirit energy behind the elder is indeed eye-catching.
"I intended to let you leave; looks like you're seeking your own death," the elder said calmly.
"I've grown more interested in you," Xu Zii laughed.
Tyrant Shadow collided with the other's water spirit energy.
The powerful force surged forward, forcing Xu Zii to step back several tis.
His right hand holding Tyrant Shadow even trembled slightly.
"Waterfall Cascade," the elder stretched out his hands.
A waterfall rose into the sky behind him.
The sound of rushing water followed.
This place was originally a dead land.
The barren earth now showed signs of revival.
Little grass sprouted, and barren trees bore tender green buds.
"Wasting so much of my water spirit energy; even your death is justified," the elder exclaid furiously.
Looking at the water spirit energy flooding the sky, there was nowhere for Xu Zii to dodge.
"Then I'll simply not dodge," Xu Zii laughed heartily.
The Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate above, and the Eight-direction Heaven-splitting Blade Intent within, erupted.
As the water spirit energy, like the flow of ti, washed over Xu Zii, trying to strip away his life.
The Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate temporarily placed Xu Zii in an invincible state.
"Kill," the Eight-direction Heaven-splitting Blade Intent directly tore through the water spirit energy.
Slashing towards the elder's head.
The elder's face changed dramatically; he tried to escape but it was too late.
Faster than lightning, Eight-direction Heaven-splitting sliced through the elder's forehead.
The next mont, the elder's head shattered like a broken waterlon, splitting open.
However, Xu Zii did not rejoice.
Because after the elder's head shattered, a new one instantly grew.
"You cannot kill ; I am immortal."
The elder's manic laughter echoed.
