Chapter 948: Sneak Attack, Battle Against the Spirit Emperor
After collecting some fallen soul crystals collected by Xiao Shui along the way, Huo Hai followed the established road and secretly came to the place where the Haotou Empire was responsible for the ambush. These locations have long been memorized by Star Gu.
"Is this place where the Spiritual Emperor of the Haotou Empire hides?" Huo Hai looked at an empty front. Xiaodie and Xing Gu had clearly recorded this location before. This location is on the periphery of the spiritual formation. Huo Hai knew after thinking about it that a master of the Spirit Emperor realm could not take action casually, nor could he use the spirit array at will.
As a spiritual emperor, he naturally has his own pride and dignity. Facing Huo Hai, who had not yet reached the Spiritual Emperor level, they instinctively believed that they could capture him with just their hands. Of course, in fact, although this is not exactly the case, it is not far off.
Their plan was to use other spirit kings to set up a combined spirit array, and then capture or kill Huo Hai. If that doesn't work, there are still experts from the Spirit Emperor who can raid the formation. At the last moment, Huo Hai can still be caught.
In order to capture Huo Hai, the Haotu Empire was willing to go all out this time. Even taking advantage of this opportunity in the Fallen Soul Swamp, the Spirit Emperor masters who were originally used to protect the team were sent to deal with Huo Hai. With such a luxurious lineup, the Haotu Empire would never believe that it would not be able to catch Huo Hai. They have even begun to consider what to do with Huo Hai after catching him.
What is obtained from Huo Hai must be properly used to strengthen the strength of the entire empire. As long as there are experts at the Spiritual Emperor level in the empire, the entire Black Lotus Territory will belong to the Great Land Empire in the future. Nowadays, just a little reputation means nothing.
For the sake of Huo Hai, the Haotu Empire did not even care about its most important reputation this time. If it fails this time, the losses and blows to the Great Land Empire will be horrific. The Spirit Emperor's masters dispatched but failed to capture Huo Hai.
And because the Haotou Empire's exposure of the Fallen Soul Crystal this time can be said to have violated the interests of most first-class and above forces. Among these first-rate and above forces, many of the Spirit Emperors who appeared among them had the experience of using the Fallen Soul Crystal. The current actions of the Haotu Empire may even directly isolate the Haotu Empire royal family.
So what if it's an empire? No one can just watch if it infringes on its own interests. If it's just one or two forces, it's nothing. If they offend so many people at once, the Haotou Empire will have a lot to play with.
They didn't know that Huo Hai had already broken through, and this was Huo Hai's biggest opportunity. Soon, Huo Hai had completely determined the hidden location of the Spirit Emperor. Based on Huo Hai's understanding of the spiritual formation, the spiritual formation around the spiritual emperor was mainly used for hiding, so the defense was not very strong. If the Spirit Emperor inside is not very strong, then I should be able to kill him with one move.
Huo Hai hadn't made a breakthrough yet, and he didn't know exactly how far this Spirit Emperor had reached. With Xiaodie's hiding methods, there was no way he could hide the Spirit Emperor. Huo Hai had no choice but to approach from underwater and sneak up on him.
All the strength in the body was completely restrained, and at the same time, he carefully controlled the water flow with Xiao Shui without making any movement. Half an hour later, Huo Hai came within a hundred meters of the predetermined position ahead.
"Don't get close, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered." The range of 100 meters is the range within which he can control the power of heaven and earth. Huo Hai doesn't know how big the control range of the person in front is. But if you continue to get closer, as you have just broken through and control an area that you are not yet very comfortable with, it is very likely that the other party will be aware of it. Simply, let’s do it here.
The next moment, Huo Hai's spiritual power exploded and turned into an afterimage in an instant. No, if you are weak, you won’t even be able to see the afterimage. The long sword in his hand stabbed out quickly, emitting eight sword energy at once, covering the area in front of him.
Almost at the next moment, Huo Hai's long sword and sword energy hit the target in front. But with this hit, Huo Hai immediately noticed something was wrong. "Oops, why did you forget this?" When launching the attack, Huo Hai finally discovered the problem.
The first problem is that Huo Hai miscalculated the defensive strength of the spiritual formation. This spiritual array is indeed mainly used for concealment, but the spiritual array itself incorporates geomagnetic energy after all. With the geomagnetic Yuan Guang, the defense is very terrifying. Coupled with the fact that he broke the geomagnetic Yuan Guang last time. This time, the geomagnetic light is more powerful and can be mobilized in greater quantities.
After breaking through this layer of geomagnetic light, the sword energy he emitted was directly weakened by 30%. The second problem, and the biggest problem, is the relationship between one's own weapons. Huo Hai ignored this because he was anxious to launch an attack.
In the past, when Huo Hai was still in the spirit king realm, the bone fish sword was barely enough. But after breaking through to the Spirit Emperor, Huo Hai suddenly discovered that the Bone Fish Sword, an earth-level low-grade item, was no longer enough.
Even the eight sword energy released this time with full force could not be fully exerted because the bone fish sword was not powerful enough. Even if Huo Hai had not withdrawn part of his spiritual power just now, the bone fish sword in his hand would have been damaged. This is what if his cultivation level continues to improve, but he still uses the Bone Fish Sword. The long sword itself may not even be able to withstand its own strength in the future.
In that case, using weapons is not as powerful as not using weapons. Due to two reasons, Huo Hai's attack this time was far from achieving the results he expected. Unfortunately, it was no longer possible to stop at this time.
When the sword energy was emitted and blocked by the barrier, the Spirit Emperor hidden in it finally reacted. The spiritual formation was destroyed, and the Spirit Emperor's figure was revealed. The Spiritual Emperor of the Haotu Empire, who was dressed in yellow robes, waved his hand and pulled out the giant sword the size of a door panel behind him, and swung it across at Huo Hai. The purple sword energy on the sword made Huo Hai's eyes widen.
"Purple sword energy, this is the symbol of Changhong Jingtian." The second level of Luoxia Sword Technique, Changhong Jingtian, fuses the differentiated sword energy one after another. At this time, the originally purple-red sword energy will turn purple.
With a sweeping sweep of the sword, Huo Hai's sword energy was shattered, but in a hurry, the Spirit Emperor of the Haotou Empire was also knocked back several steps. The people who were standing ready to ambush Huo Hai were struck by this force, coupled with the backlash from the spiritual formation. The final result was that many people were killed on the spot under this force.
"Who are you? Wait, Luoxia Sword Qi, you are Huo Hai. I didn't expect you to break through." Seeing Huo Hai, everyone in the Haotu Empire was shocked. Those injured couldn't help but look this way and forgot to hide.
Huo Hai nodded: "Yes, it's me. Haven't you been looking for me all the time? I didn't expect that this time the Great Earth Empire would actually send a Spirit Emperor to ambush me. When would the Spirit Emperor of the Great Earth Empire be in the capital?" So despicable."
The master of the Haotu Empire snorted coldly: "Boy, there is no need to show off your words. I, Haoyun, am the seventh-generation emperor of the Haotu Empire. As an old man, there is no need to ambush a junior like you. Even if you break through the spirit The emperor is destined to be no match for me. Should you just follow me obediently, or should I invite you to leave personally."
Huo Hai sneered: "I found that the people in your vast empire are just as idiots as you. I have heard this saying many times, young master. If you have the ability, just come and catch me." Huo Hai had a long hand in his hand. The sword shook.
He was scared by this old guy before, but then Huo Hai thought about it and finally figured it out. This old guy is not using the authentic Luoxia Sword Technique. The reason why he is able to cultivate purple sword energy is not caused by the Luoxia Sword Technique itself.
What he practiced was also a simplified and modified version, but it was only because of the powerful spiritual blessing that he was able to reach this level. If he really used Luoxia Sword Technique, Haoyun might not be as strong as him.
"Good boy, you are the most courageous person I have seen in all these years." Haoyun was not angry, or in other words, after living for so many years, he has long passed the age of getting angry when encountering the smallest things. Besides, Huo Hai is also a Spirit Emperor now, and the two of them are essentially the same. There is nothing wrong with Huo Hai talking to him like this.
At least Haoyun himself won't feel insulted. The giant sword in his hand was slowly raised. The image of such a middle-aged man, tall and thin, using such a giant sword seemed a bit inconsistent no matter how he looked at it.
Of course, Huo Hai doesn't really think that Haoyun is a middle-aged man just because of his appearance. In Huo Hai's perception, Haoyun in front of him was clearly over a thousand years old. Just think about the seventh-generation emperor of the Great Land Empire. This old guy might be over two thousand years old. The spiritual master is indeed completely different from a normal person.
However, after living for so many years, if Haoyun does not continue to make breakthroughs, his lifespan may not be far from coming to an end. Even if he is able to survive until now, it is because Haoyun used a lot of life-extending pills.
Normal masters of the Spiritual Emperor realm, before they break through the fourth level, can live for a thousand years, which is already pretty good. Only a powerful force like the Haotu Empire would be so extravagant and give these people a large amount of life-extending elixirs.
Of course, it is impossible to take such elixirs without limit. Especially the elixirs that enhance lifespan. After eating one or two pills, the same elixir will be useless. The drug resistance of this type of elixir is the strongest among all elixirs. When there is nothing left to eat, these people are faced with a choice: try their luck elsewhere, or wait to die.
Haoyun seems to be in the second situation, staying in the Haotu Empire to die. Of course, he is not completely waiting to die, as can be seen from the fact that he is still pursuing higher cultivation. Now, it happens to be a good opportunity.
If they can get the inheritance from the ancestor of Tianhui, they might have a chance to break through the existing coolness and reach a higher level. In this way, life span will naturally be extended. Even those that developed resistance to antibiotics in the past can be eliminated.
