I practiced with a cheat

Cao Guishan's identity was obviously extraordinary. At his command, more than a dozen men in black immediately swung their long knives and slashed at Zhou Heng.

These men in black were well-trained masters with superb knife skills. While attacking, they also cooperated with each other to block all the directions of Zhou Heng's movements and wanted to kill him directly.

Li Chengyu's family couldn't help but close their eyes when they saw this scene, and couldn't bear to watch.

In their opinion, Zhou Heng was really just a person who happened to pass by. He was still on the road on such a rainy night. It must be something very important.

It's a pity that he was caught in the crossfire.

Zhou Heng stood in place, without any intention of dodging, and quietly watched these dozen men in black holding knives and slashing at him.

"Even if you have extraordinary martial arts, facing such a siege, you will definitely die." Cao Guishan sneered, and he was very confident in the strength of his men.

But when these dozen men in black approached Zhou Heng within three feet, Zhou Heng suddenly took a light breath and then exhaled.

Boom!

This breath seemed to blow up the void, making a deafening sound.

The air exhaled from Zhou Heng's mouth turned directly into a strong wind, rolling up the rain all over the sky, and wrapped the dozen men in black and flew into the sky.

In an instant, the world was silent, and even the heavy rain stopped falling.

Bang!

Then, there was an explosion in the air, the strong wind dissipated, and the rain fell again, with a faint smell of blood.

The dozen men in black had disappeared.

Zhou Heng still stood there, smiling, looking at Cao Guishan with a playful look, and chuckled: "What did you want to do just now, kill me?"

Silence, incomparable silence.

Cao Guishan stared at Zhou Heng in amazement, smelling the blood in the rain. He had already understood what had happened just now, and a look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Breathing into the wind! Martial Saint! You, you are actually a Martial Saint?! No, even a Martial Saint doesn't have such a physique!" His body trembled, and he shouted in horror, and at the same time ran away, trying to escape into the dense forest.

"Escape now?" Zhou Heng shook his head, raised his right hand and flicked his finger, and suddenly there was a burst of empty sound, forming an invisible wind blade, which cut Cao Guishan's neck from a distance.

A big head flew into the sky, and blood gushed out from the broken neck of Cao Guishan, but his body still maintained inertia and ran forward for a distance before falling down with a bang.

Cao Guishan's head rolled down and landed right next to Li Chengyu's family.

At this time, the family was completely confused, staring at Zhou Heng blankly, constantly asking themselves if they saw hallucinations, if they encountered a fantasy before death, and they didn't even notice Cao Guishan's head next to them.

After a long time, Li Chengyu's family came back to their senses and completely understood what had happened.

They were saved!

A martial saint-level warrior who claimed to be a passerby saved his family?

Several thoughts flashed through Li Chengyu's mind.

He tried to stand up and thank him.

However, he had already exhausted himself in the previous escape. Now, let alone standing up to thank him, even moving his fingers was difficult, and even opening his mouth to speak was extremely difficult.

At this time, Li Chengyu also realized that he might not live long.

"Thank you very much, benefactor." Li Chengyu opened his mouth with all his strength and lay on the ground to thank Zhou Heng.

"Thank you very much, benefactor." The young woman's condition was obviously better. She had stood up, bowed and thanked Zhou Heng.

"Thank you, benefactor brother!" The little girl Ning An also thanked him.

Then, the two of them tried to help Li Chengyu up.

But Li Chengyu shook his head, indicating that the two did not need to do so. He looked at Zhou Heng, his face suddenly turned ruddy, and said: "Well, benefactor, we are in a situation where we must die today. Thanks to your help, my wife and daughter can save their lives.

"I, I should not live long, but, can you ask benefactor to do me another favor, as long as you agree, I, I will give you all the treasures I have accumulated throughout my life, as long as you escort them to..."

"Father!" The little girl Ning An burst into tears when she heard it, "No, father, don't say that!"

"Husband..." The young woman also burst into tears, with a miserable expression. She could sense the physical condition of her husband, and she was afraid that he would not survive tonight.

"..." Zhou Heng raised his hand and pressed his temple, shook his head gently, and smiled: "You should escort them by yourself, I don't have the time. "

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Chengyu, and a bright green light like a star flew out from his fingertips and landed in Li Chengyu's body.

"What, what is this?!"

Li Chengyu's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this, as if he had seen something incredible, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

There was shock, joy, doubt...all kinds of expressions mixed together, making his facial muscles hesitate.

"Star, astrology?!" The young woman was also stunned, staring blankly at the light covering her husband.

"It's amazing!" Ning An's eyes lit up.

She found that under the cover of this green light, her father, who was originally covered with scars, quickly recovered, and his ruddy face, like a last burst of light, gradually became normal.

After a while, the green light faded away, and Li Chengyu was extremely shocked to find that he had recovered to a completely unharmed state, with full physical strength and vigorous spirit, without any trace of the original exhausted appearance.

"Now there are still people who can use this kind of star art, and can make me, a dying person, completely recover!" Li Chengyu was shocked. He looked at Zhou Heng and said uncertainly: "You, which star lord are you?"

Since the arrival of the demon star three years ago, the star realm has become abnormal. Star officials of the ninth to fourth ranks can no longer let the power of the star realm descend, and can no longer directly mobilize the star power. Their strength has plummeted. Even the star lords of the upper third rank have greatly reduced their strength, and the power of the star art is far less than before.

In Li Chengyu's opinion, the star art treatment effect just now is so powerful that even when the star realm was normal before, it was not something that ordinary star officials could perform. At least it had to be a high-ranking star official of the fifth or fourth rank.

Now the star realm is abnormal, and it is more difficult to perform this level of star arts. This young man performed it very easily just now. Only the Star Lord can do it.

When Li Chengyu thought of this, he was immediately shocked by his own guess.

The "passerby" in front of him was clearly only eighteen or nineteen years old, and was still a teenager. How could he be a Star Lord of the upper third rank!

I have never heard of such a young Star Lord in the world.

But if it is not a Star Lord, who else could it be?

Warriors do not have such magical means of magic.

For a moment, Li Chengyu fell into confusion.

"Star Lord?" Zhou Heng whispered, and then said: "Leave this forest first and go to a place to shelter from the rain. I have something to ask you."

...

Due to the limited information about this world, Zhou Heng did not have many choices when he descended through the star gate.

He could only choose the general terrain.

For example, mountains, rivers, basins, plateaus, etc., at most, there were some restrictions without traces of forbidden formations, and the randomness of the descent was very strong.

So Zhou Heng descended into a mountain forest.

After coming here, he did not rush out, but first found a cave, quietly comprehended the natural laws of this world, and followed the five virtues.

Three days later, Zhou Heng's strength had recovered 70%.

Because the recovery of strength also triggered the changes in the qi of heaven and earth, it rained heavily throughout the mountain.

Zhou Heng, who had recovered a lot of strength, was in a good mood. He planned to go out to hunt wild game for a meal and go out to inquire about the situation of this world early tomorrow morning, but he did not expect to meet Li Chengyu's family who were being hunted.

In fact, when Li Chengyu fell to the ground, Zhou Heng had already arrived there, but he did not come out because he was not sure whether Li Chengyu was good or bad.

Then Cao Guishan and others came and made him decide to come out.

On the one hand, Li Chengyu looked like the persecuted party, and Ning An was also quite cute and worth saving.

On the other hand, it was because he learned from Cao Guishan that Li Chengyu might be a prince, which meant that Li Chengyu should know a lot of information about this world, which was exactly what he lacked.

So Zhou Heng brought Li Chengyu and his family to the cave where he lived before he recovered his strength, and asked them about the general situation of this world.

Although he had made a rough guess about the cultivation path of this world when he used the Dharma phase to sense the natural laws of this world, he had to ask someone to be truly sure.

Li Chengyu was very grateful to Zhou Heng, his lifesaver. He almost told Zhou Heng everything he knew about his questions, and let Zhou Heng know a lot of things.

First of all, Li Chengyu's identity.

He was a prince of the Wei Dynasty, with many achievements. He was also a fourth-rank star official of the Xing Palace. He was very powerful. Now he was framed by the prince and could only flee with his wife and daughter.

In addition, there are two cultivation paths in this world, one is martial arts and the other is astrology.

Martial arts is naturally to cultivate the power of the human body, make the power stronger, and make the speed faster, in order to achieve a strength beyond the ordinary. This is also the cultivation path that exists in most worlds.

However, due to the restrictions of the rules of this world, the degree of interference of spiritual power on reality is extremely small, which has created a situation-

Even if the warrior has cultivated to the limit of the normal human body and nourished enough spiritual power, he cannot open the boundary of the human body, cannot build the bridge between heaven and earth and establish the natural law.

In other words, the limit of the human body in this world is equivalent to the level of the seventh-grade warrior in Da Qi.

Of course, the long-term inheritance has also allowed warriors to find some ways out, so there are various sects such as Buddhism and Taoism. These sects master this secret method and can break through the limit of the human body and reach the realm of martial saints.

But even if it is a martial saint, it is not that powerful. It is just that the blood and body are more powerful. It cannot control the power of heaven and earth. In essence, it is still a mortal.

If only the martial arts are discussed, the level of this world is not strong.

But in addition to the martial arts, there is another way in this world, that is the astrology.

According to Li Chengyu, the astrology originated from the ancient barbaric era.

The ancestors worshiped the heaven and earth and received the favor of the stars, and were noticed by the thirty-six Tiangang star gods, the seventy-two Disha star gods, and a total of one hundred and eight star gods.

As long as the sacrifice is done properly and the star god is recognized, one can communicate with the star world to gain star power, break through the boundaries of mortals, and possess incredible power.

Today, the art of astrology has become quite complete.

As long as you have mastered the martial arts, you can perform the ceremony according to the guidance of the Star Palace. As long as the ceremony is successful, you will be blessed by a certain star god and have strength far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

However, the conditions for holding the sacrificial ceremony are harsh and the materials are very precious. In addition to the powerful families, only some wealthy families can hold it.

Since this sacrificial ceremony is not necessarily successful, there is a chance of failure, and there is only one chance. Once it fails, it cannot be repeated, which makes the number of star officials not large.

With overwhelming power, small numbers, and generally noble status, such a group often becomes a privileged class above, so a Star Palace that is superior to the emperor of the dynasty appeared.

The Star Palace sets grades for astrology practitioners, from low to high, divided into nine grades to one grade, among which the third, second, and first grades are called star gods, and the ones below them are called star officials.

The seventh-rank star officials can surpass the martial saints at the pinnacle of martial arts. When they reach the level of the sixth-rank star officials, they can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, enter and exit the azure sky, and even interweave the power of the star gods, just like the star gods descending to the world, with great power.

However, all this changed three years ago.

The red demon star descended, the emperor star shifted, the sky was in chaos, the second-rank star lord, the Sitianjianzheng, died suddenly, and the master of the star palace and three first-rank star lords disappeared.

The star realm also became abnormal. The star officials below the upper third rank lost contact with the star realm overnight and could no longer mobilize the star power. Only the few remaining star lords could barely mobilize the star power and perform some low-level star arts in a limited way.

But the number of star lords was too small after all, and their strength was greatly damaged. Although they suppressed them, other forces did not dare to challenge them openly, but they had already begun to settle accounts with some star officials who they had not dared to touch before.

Li Chengyu was one of them.

"One hundred and eight star gods, thirty-six heavenly stars, seventy-two earthly evil stars..." Zhou Heng's eyes were solemn. He heard a lot of familiar things in the news revealed by Li Chengyu. "Now that the Star Palace is declining, the warriors who were suppressed before have started to think about it?"

"That's right." Li Chengyu nodded.

"Have you heard any powerful warriors appear recently?" Zhou Heng tried to find out the news about Cheng Jiangjian and Qi Rui. The two of them have been here for some time.

"There are indeed some powerful warriors who have appeared recently. Most of them are from Taoism or Buddhism. They have unique secret methods and can barely break through the boundaries of mortals and reach the realm of martial saints."

Li Chengyu said while thinking, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, "Oh, there is another one, but I don't know if it can be considered a warrior. Some time ago, I heard that the Star Palace found the reincarnation of the head of all stars, Gou Chen Tiandi, who is a young woman.

"This woman not only has excellent astrology, but also many strange secret treasures. The most important thing is that her martial arts are extremely high. It is said that even a star god was seriously injured by her martial arts. ”
