Chapter 4: Immortals Fight with Swords
The two immortal cultivators in the sky were caught off guard and were hit.
There was no blood flying around them, just ripples around them, and some invisible force blocked all the bullets.
"Hey, what kind of magic weapon is this?" Facing the sudden siege of thousands of mortals, the two immortal cultivators looked normal. Kou Hong stretched out his right hand and took a soldier to the sky. He took the gun from the soldier and looked at it carefully, and then threw the soldier away.
"It's interesting. Using a sophisticated mechanical structure instead of a magic circle, and using the explosive power of mortal objects instead of spiritual power, it can actually burst out the power of the early stage of Qi Refining..." Kou Hong understood the principle of the gun with just a glance.
He shook his head: "I didn't expect that after thousands of years, the mortals exiled to the Land of Immortal Desolation could actually research such a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, it can only work in this place where the Great Dao is incomplete. Outside the Land of Immortal Desolation, it is just a pile of useless copper and iron." After saying that, the gun in his hand suddenly disappeared, as if he had put it away casually.
"A mere mortal dared to attack immortal cultivators like us. I originally felt a little guilty, but now it seems that you are looking for death!"
Kou Hong looked down at the countless mortal soldiers in the darkness, his eyes full of contempt.
His right hand quickly pointed at the void in front of him, leaving mysterious traces.
Countless sparks suddenly appeared from the darkness, and expanded into huge fireballs in an instant like a prairie fire.
"Daoism: Fire Dragon Roar!"
As Kou Hong shouted coldly, the red flames used these huge fireballs as nodes and burned outwards. In just a moment, the red flames connected the fireballs in the sky like flesh and blood.
A giant dragon with a ferocious face and composed of red flames suddenly appeared and hovered over Xuanjing City.
The fire dragon raised its head and let out a loud dragon roar, then stretched its body and slammed down.
"Boom!"
Violent explosions continued to sound.
The houses in Xuanjing City were like simple toys, and were easily destroyed without any resistance.
The red flames seemed to have their own thoughts. After landing, they devoured and burned everything they could touch.
In a blink of an eye, Xuanjing City turned into a blazing hell on earth!
However, Kou Hong, who caused all this, frowned and looked doubtful.
Because he found that although Xuanjing City below looked miserable, most of the soldiers actually survived his attack!
You know, the fire dragon roar he released in anger was already a full-strength attack.
The power of a great perfection cultivator of foundation building is simply not something that mortals can resist!
Even if those soldiers were well-trained and took out their protective gear and hid in the corners of the building for protection the moment they saw him casting a spell, their casualties should definitely be much more than now!
What's going on! ?
Kou Hong was shocked and suspicious. In an instant, he seemed to have discovered something. Kou Hong waved his hand and took the small metal object that had been attacking him from all directions but was easily resisted by the protective aura and fell all over the ground.
"This is..." Kou Hong's face changed drastically, and then he looked around vigilantly, and the contempt in his eyes suddenly turned into fear.
"These hidden weapons are soaked in mortal blood, and they are immortal miasma..." Dao Xuanzi's voice also came over, with an ugly face.
"We were ambushed as soon as we arrived here. Moreover, the other party also used the immortal miasma, which clearly showed that they were well prepared. Could it be that there were immortal cultivators behind these mortals?" The two looked at each other, and several thoughts flashed through their minds. "In any case, this place is strange, and it is not suitable to stay for long."
Although Daoxuanzi and Kou Hong could fight each other for the Dan-forming technique, that was a matter between the two of them.
Now things have unexpected variables. Facing only a few thousand mortals, the two who had a tacit understanding for a hundred years actually subconsciously chose to escape at the same time.
Perhaps because they discovered the two's intentions, the gunshots that had been stopped because of the Taoist Fire Dragon Roar rang again!
However, this deepened the speculation in Daoxuanzi and Kou Hong's hearts.
These mortals obviously have intentions!
"Go!" The two were about to escape, but they heard a voice from below.
"Daoxuanzi! Kou Hong! If you two escape today, the news that you have obtained a method for forming a pill will spread throughout the entire world of immortal cultivation tomorrow!"
The voice came from all directions of Xuanjing City, and it kept echoing in the night, with lingering echoes.
The voice was a little old, but the tone was extremely firm and cold.
The figures of Kou Hong and Daoxuanzi suddenly stopped, their faces were horrified, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"How is it possible? Only the two of us knew that we had obtained the method for forming a pill, how could the news leak out?" For a moment, the two fell into deep fear.
The two went to the cave together to explore the secrets, and then Kou Hong took the method and fled all the way, Daoxuanzi chased him relentlessly, and Kou Hong took the risk and broke into this immortal land to seek a glimmer of life...
The people and events encountered during this period flashed in his mind one by one.
Who is it!
Just as the two of them were in a state of shock, almost unable to control themselves, dozens of shells flew towards them from all unexpected locations in the darkness, with long tails of flame.
"Looking for death!" Kou Hong recovered from his shock and then became even more furious.
"Taoism: Flame Cinder Explosion!"
A huge ring of fire appeared out of thin air.
"Not good, Kou Hong, get out of the way!" At this moment, Dao Xuanzi's voice sounded urgently.
"Huh?" Kou Hong was stunned, and as his spiritual sense swept, his face showed horror.
He was about to dodge, but it was too late.
Dozens of shells exploded around them.
There was no deafening explosion, but a group of dark red liquid exploded around them, forming a small-scale blood rain, soaking the two immortals!
"Ah..."
The creepy cry suddenly resounded through the sky.
At the same time, the aura of the two people that frightened mortals also dropped rapidly.
After only resisting for a moment, the two could no longer hold on and fell from the sky.
Thousands of soldiers surrounded them with guns.
At this moment, the current situation of the two "immortals" made these specially trained warriors who could put their lives aside feel cold in their hearts.
Daoxuanzi and Kou Hong were both young men in their twenties or thirties, but after being drenched in blood, their hair turned white in an instant. They looked old in a few breaths, with dense wrinkles all over their faces, which looked very scary.
The two men hunched over and sat on the ground. Kou Hong was dying, and it seemed that he would not survive. Daoxuanzi, who had a higher level of cultivation, seemed to be in a better condition, but he was just barely surviving.
The originally high-ranking immortal master turned out to be like this!
Not only the many soldiers present, but also Li Fan, who was hiding in the back and commanding secretly, felt an inexplicable chill when he heard the report from his men.
"Two immortal masters, our Grand Master has ordered that if you two surrender, you can save your lives!" A soldier shouted to the two from a distance.
"Just surrender..." The seriously injured Daoxuanzi looked at his best friend who was unwilling to speak but could not, and suddenly sneered.
Seeing Daoxuanzi's actions, Kou Hong had guessed what he was going to do.
He shook his head slightly, and then used up his last bit of strength to pass the storage ring on his hand to Daoxuanzi.
"Let's go..." Kou Hong opened his mouth slightly, then lowered his head and died suddenly.
In the sky, a strange scene suddenly appeared!
A red dragon appeared in the sky. It seemed to be in great pain, struggling, roaring, trying to get rid of something.
However, all efforts were in vain.
It slowly became thinner, and in the blink of an eye, only a layer of skin and flesh was left.
A moment later, the whole dragon was eaten away, not even bones and flesh were left.
At this time, people could see clearly that it was a tea-colored, ordinary-looking branch that took root and sprouted in the body of the dragon and devoured it completely!
Even ordinary trees can swallow dragons!
This magnificent scene was like a gorgeous firework, illuminating the sky for thousands of miles.
All the creatures who saw this scene, whether human or other, naturally had the following words in their minds.
"Foundation-building cultivator Kou Hong, who has been practicing Taoism for 205 years, achieved the foundation of Taoism with the strange item [Dragon Branch]. In the immortal land, he was besieged by thousands of mortals and was accidentally injured by the immortal and mortal miasma."
"The cultivation was lost and the life span is coming to an end."
"Now that the body is dead and the Tao is gone, the Tao will be returned to heaven!"
All creatures felt sorry for their own kind, felt sad, and could not rely on themselves...
All the creatures around Xuanjing City who were shrouded in this strange scene were immersed in such emotions and could not help themselves.
The magnificent scene lasted for almost half an hour, and then it finally gradually dissipated.
The soldiers finally came to their senses and silently looked at another old immortal cultivator in the field.
"Master Daoxuanzi, our Grand Master has no intention of fighting you to the death. If you give up resistance, our Grand Master guarantees your safety..." The soldiers continued to shout according to Li Fan's instructions.
Li Fan sighed in his heart in the dark, knowing that his attempt to capture immortals in this life had failed.
He had never expected that the killing power of immortal miasma on immortal cultivators would be so strong.
Sure enough, Daoxuanzi ignored the shouting.
He also looked up at the sky that had dissipated, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Qiulongzhi..."
After a long time, he retracted his gaze and tried to straighten his hunched body.
Looking around, Daoxuanzi tried to find the black hand behind the scenes.
"I don't know who you are." He said to Li Fan. "I don't know what your purpose is."
"Maybe it's for this Dan-forming technique, or maybe it's for something else." Daoxuanzi glanced at the storage ring on his hand and said calmly. "Now that we brothers have been framed by you, we have died and our cultivation has been destroyed. We should have nothing to say."
"But I don't accept it." Daoxuanzi said coldly.
"You can follow us all the time, know everything about us, and not be discovered. I believe your cultivation must be very high."
"Such a person, you dare not confront us head-on, but you have been doing sneaky things, hiding behind mortals, and even using the immortal miasma, a despicable thing that all immortal cultivators despise..."
Daoxuanzi took a deep breath.
"My brother Kou Hong died at the hands of a person like you. I feel sorry for him."
Daoxuanzi slowly rose into the air, looking down at the people who were immediately on guard, with no sadness or joy on his face.
"You have seen my brother's foundation-building wonders. Now, I would like to ask you to take a look at mine."
"Use the wonders of heaven and earth to build my foundation." Daoxuanzi chanted loudly.
"My foundation of Taoism is called: Daoxuan."
A huge broken iron sword appeared in the sky above Xuanjing City.
All the creatures under the shadow of the giant sword felt that their minds became dull and slow like rusty machines.
"I have a sword, please take a look!"
The sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and everyone in Xuanjing City seemed to be in absolute stillness.
Then, as if cracks appeared in glass, the entire Xuanjing City became fragmented in an instant!
"Really."
The charging progress plummeted, and Li Fan muttered in his heart before his consciousness disappeared.
