Chapter 1363 Siege
Then, in Hu Changqi's sight, a shadow appeared in front of the headless corpse, and two hands stretched out instantly.
One hand directly reached for the storage ring on his hand, and the other hand, like a sharp blade, pierced the dantian position of the oncoming headless corpse.
The man's movements were so smooth, everything seemed to be as natural as if he had practiced thousands of times.
In his sight, it was a bald old man in a gray shirt, holding a Yuanying in his hand. The Yuanying still had a blank look on his face, but his eyes had lost the brilliance of life.
Because everything changed too quickly, the Yuanying's consciousness remained in his previous thoughts until he died.
Then, Hu Changqi fell into darkness...
Li Yan looked at the Yuanying in his hand, which had been pierced through the forehead by the "Demon Sealing Nail". The magic power in his hand surged, "Bang!" The Yuanying, who looked exactly like Hu Changqi, dissipated without any pain.
Then, Li Yan's figure disappeared again in an instant.
In the distance, the masked red-robed guest was still standing there, and the figure behind him seemed to overlap for a moment in the next moment, but it seemed as if nothing had happened.
If someone saw this scene from afar, they would not believe that the gray-shirted old man behind the masked red-robed guest had just left, and killed a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in a casual manner, and then returned.
Now, after experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, Li Yan has a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and has become much more fluent in borrowing the mysterious power of the gods and ghosts between heaven and earth.
There is no longer the estrangement and unfamiliarity when manipulating the laws of heaven and earth when he first entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul. When dealing with Nascent Soul cultivators, he can almost easily use the power of heaven and earth.
At this stage, the powerful magic power of the late stage of the Five Immortals also showed its ferocious fangs. Before, he could disrupt the magic borrowing power of the same-level cultivators with just a wave of his hand.
When the masked red-robed guest attacked him, at such a close distance, "Feng Chongtian" turned around at a small angle and rushed to the opponent.
Even if the opponent was a late-stage great cultivator, he only sensed something wrong. The distance between the two sides was too close. After the eighth drop of blood essence was refined, "Feng Chongtian" had reached a strange and unpredictable level.
Especially within a radius of 100 feet, Li Yan was almost everywhere, and almost no one below the transformation of the spirit could escape his sneak attack. When he arrived in front of the opponent, the masked red-robed guest's consciousness was still at the previous position.
Just as he had just felt a chill in his heart, Li Yan's "Five Elements Chaos Cloak" was used, which immediately destroyed the five elements around him. The power of the rules became chaotic.
It made his magic extremely turbulent in a short period of time, and he could not temporarily rely on external forces, or more precisely, he could not stably call up the power of the five elements.
When this technique was used against the transformation of the spirit cultivator, Xue Longzi had no way to remove it, let alone a cultivator of the same level. After being washed by the "transformation liquid", Li Yan's cultivation level has advanced to a higher level.
When this technique was used on the same level, the backlash on Li Yan's sea of consciousness was not so strong.
Just when the masked red-robed guest's short-term mana was unable to replenish in time, the "Demon Sealing Nail" instantly broke into his body and nailed the opponent to the spot.
The next moment, Li Yan appeared hundreds of miles away, and he performed the "Shaking the Universe", which was almost equivalent to the Nascent Soul teleportation technique. Thousands of miles are just a thought, not to mention the distance of only hundreds of miles.
Hu Changqi didn't react at all, and was cut on the neck by Li Yan who took a step out of the void. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
In addition, Li Yan's behavior was almost a sneak attack, and the opponent's body protection light shield was like paper, which was shattered and broken in an instant. While the head flew high, Li Yan had already pierced the opponent's body with a "Demon Sealing Nail".
To deal with a
Yuanying mid-stage cultivator, as long as the opponent does not use a very strong defensive magic weapon, it is simply a dream to rely on the main body to defend against the attack of Li Yan, who is like a human-shaped peerless beast.
However, when Li Yan took out the opponent's Yuanying, Li Yan himself did not expect that the opponent was so vulnerable, and he used too many "demon-sealing nails".
Before Hu Changqi's Yuanying even thought of escaping, his head was pierced and he died instantly. The so-called Yuanying cultivator's life-saving teleportation, Li Yan did not even give the opponent a chance.
Li Yan stood behind the masked red-robed guest again like a ghost, as if he had never left.
He was getting more and more comfortable with "Shaking the Universe" and "Five Elements Chaos Cloak", and combined with various sneak attack methods that he was very familiar with.
Li Yan felt that these spells of Guishui Xianmen were simply the best killing weapons in the world.
The moment he appeared, a beam of light shot out from one hand, rolling towards the storage ring on the opponent's finger, and the other hand pressed on the opponent's crown, and immediately began to search the soul.
He didn't have much time, and Shangguan Tianque should have a hard time resisting, so he killed one person immediately and left a late-stage great cultivator to search the soul, just to get more information.
But in the next moment, Li Yan's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his figure blurred, leaving only a residual image on the spot, still raising his hand to search the soul...
"Boom!"
A cloud of blood mist emerged from the place where Li Yan had stood before. Hundreds of miles away, Li Yan looked depressed.
"Someone has set a ban in his sea of consciousness, not allowing soul search. Once the ban is touched, it will explode immediately. Even I can't detect this ban. I will only feel it when I touch it..."
Li Yan didn't expect that as soon as he used the Soul Searching Technique, the other party's sea of consciousness would immediately become turbulent. A fear that made him feel chilly suddenly appeared in his heart, making all the hairs on his body stand up.
He didn't even think about it, and instinctively retreated immediately.
In his consciousness, a powerful shock wave was generated at that location, which spread to four hundred miles away in an instant. Although Li Yan had stood on the edge of the shock wave, his gray robe was still being blown away.
A head of sparse gray hair was being torn and swayed in all directions, while the masked man in red robes had no bones left and completely disappeared from the world.
"It's so vicious. Even the Nascent Soul exploded and melted completely. This is a late-stage great monk. He can set up a restriction in his sea of consciousness. Doesn't it mean the strength of the person behind him..."
Li Yan was already moved when he thought about this.
He then remembered that Shangguan Tianque had recognized that the person who attacked and killed them was Liu Huaigu of "Qingyang Temple", but the strongest monk in "Qingyang Temple" was only in the late Nascent Soul stage. This didn't make sense!
For a moment, Li Yan felt that things were getting a little complicated, but at this moment, he had no more time to think.
Now there are fierce battles in several places, and no one has noticed it in time. He must hurry up.
He wanted to take action again quickly before the other party noticed anything unusual. Shangguan Tianque was fighting against two people, fighting and retreating in one direction.
At this time, Shangguan Tianque was already injured. If he could not get rid of the other two, he would most likely fall.
However, at least Liu Huaigu and the other two had not been able to force Shangguan Tianque to the point where his Nascent Soul was separated from his body. Shangguan Tianque was still trying his best to support him. He basically knew Li Yan's true strength.
Although there were two people chasing Li Yan, there was only one late-stage Nascent Soul, so he had to hold them back to create opportunities for Li Yan to see if he could change the situation of the battle.
But at the same time, he didn't just drag it out. If something went wrong on Li Yan's side, his entire bet would be off, and the outcome might be doomed.
"Liu Huaigu, are you going to start a sect war?"
Shangguan Tianque, who was fighting and escaping, looked gloomy. In order to kill him, Liu Huaigu found two late-stage monks from nowhere.
He didn't know the strength of the other masked red-robed man who was following Li Yan, but he couldn't see the origin of the person who joined forces with Liu Huaigu, and his combat power seemed to be stronger than Liu Huaigu's.
Compared with Liu Huaigu in terms of strength, they were evenly matched, so as soon as the two of them joined forces, Shangguan Tianque used almost all of his cultivation.
In just a short period of time, more than 60% of his mana was consumed, and a big hole was pierced in the thigh of his right leg, which was bloody and bloody.
The magic weapon-level clothes on the back were also broken into large pieces, and the white bones on the back were clearly exposed. You could even see the internal organs in front of you squirming through the gaps between the two bones. The appearance was also very miserable.
"Hehehehe... Fellow Taoist, you must have admitted the wrong person. Which sect does Liu Huaigu belong to? And do you still have a chance to start a sect war?"
Liu Huaigu, who had transformed into a skinny young man, let out a series of weird laughs after hearing this.
Although he was recognized by the other party, he still would not admit it. Who knows if there might be someone or a monster hiding nearby.
"Kill him quickly, this is already the sphere of influence of the 'Blood Lantern Sect', and other monks may appear at any time!"
When the masked man in red robe saw Liu Huaigu's joking look, he immediately sent a message to remind him that the purpose of his trip was to quickly complete the mission and kill the target, unlike Liu Huaigu who was here to vent his anger.
His consciousness had just scanned in several other directions. His companions had caught up with the old man in gray shirt, but the other two mid-stage Nascent Soul monks had not yet caught up with the "two" handsome young men who had escaped.
"chatter!"
With a weird neighing sound, Shangguan Tianque, who was fleeing, suddenly thrust the silver spear in one hand to the left, making a violent shock.
"Zhi!"
There was another sound of gold and iron clashing, and a red thing was stabbed by his spear, and a phantom appeared from the void.
Shangguan Tianque did not hesitate to use his magic power, and the red thing was pushed out by the force generated by the spear, turning into a long red shadow in the air. It did not stop until it slid more than three hundred feet away.
"chatter!"
There was another weird neigh. It was a strip-shaped monster with a translucent red body, a body like a giant snake, and a brain like a spider.
"Blood Jade Snake Spider!"
Shangguan Tianque's heart trembled. This monster's attack came and went like the wind. It was extremely fast and very difficult to deal with.
This monster beast has eight huge legs supporting its huge body, and a pair of blood-red eyes are staring at Shangguan Tianque fiercely.
In the middle of its head, there is a single horn like ruby and jade. The horn is like blood and a giant tooth, and the curved hook is shining with blood-colored light.
The bloody hole on Shangguan Tianque's thigh was pierced by it before. If Shangguan Tianque hadn't reacted quickly, one of his legs would have been blown away by this monster.
Shangguan Tianque's shot just now had used 70% of his strength, and hit the horn that the monster suddenly attacked, but it was actually carried down by it.
The most difficult thing about the "Blood Jade Snake Spider" is that it
At such a speed, within a hundred feet, Shangguan Tianque's spiritual consciousness could barely keep up. In addition, with two monks surrounding him, the power was even more extraordinary.
Fortunately, the cultivation level of this monster is lower than Shangguan Tianque's, and the masked red-robed monk who controls it should be a powerful beastmaster.
Most of his combat power is also on this "blood jade snake spider", otherwise, if the two people and the monster join forces, Shangguan Tianque feels that he may not be able to hold on for even thirty breaths.
Not far behind him, the red whip in the masked red-robed man's hand has disappeared, and his movements of pinching the magic formula have also stopped slightly as the "blood jade snake spider" retreats.
This "blood jade snake spider" usually transforms into a red whip for him to use. When he drives it, it will show its true form when it approaches the opponent and catches the opponent off guard, giving the opponent a fatal blow.
And the beast control technique he practices is different from that of other beast masters. His technique will integrate part of his consciousness into this monster.
In the battle, it is not just the instinct and innate magical power of the "Blood Jade Snake Spider" that is fighting, but he will observe the opponent's situation from the perspective of a "spectator" and control the "Blood Jade Snake Spider" to launch unexpected attacks at the right time.
At that time, the "Blood Jade Snake Spider" will give up its innate attack and be completely controlled by him. The angle and strength are all in his mind.
When he removes the control and uses his own magic to defend against the enemy, the attack of this "Blood Jade Snake Spider" will decide what attack method to use by itself. In this way, the power of this monster is stronger and the action is more flexible.
In his spirit beast bag, there are many such monsters, but he has to consider not exposing his identity and true intentions, so he can't use many;
Secondly, Shangguan Tianque is very powerful, and he doesn't have many monsters that can deal with him.
With the addition of these two conditions, he can use fewer means, which also limits his combat power.
However, even so, he felt that he could still take down Shangguan Tianque, not to mention that he had Liu Huaigu's help. Shangguan Tianque could not hold on for too long.
Just as Shangguan Tianque shot back the "blood jade snake spider" that attacked him, he heard a sharp sound of "squeak!" in his ears almost at the same time.
Shangguan Tianque showed a look of pain on his face, but he was also a veteran. With the roar in his dantian, he had once again raised his magic power and suppressed the severe pain and discomfort in his sea of consciousness.
With a sudden turn of his body, a yellow light flew past his side. He knew that it was Liu Huaigu's flying locust stone magic weapon, named "fighting immortal stone".
This treasure is really powerful. Its sound waves will affect the sea of consciousness of others. Even if it does not hit, the sea of consciousness of the living beings within a range of five feet will be affected by certain fluctuations, and the sea of consciousness will be unstable.
In this way, the enemy's consciousness will be temporarily delayed. In their level of fighting, life and death can be determined in an instant, which is fatal.
Once hit by it, even a great cultivator like Shangguan Tianque would immediately fall over.
If it were any other time, Shangguan Tianque would be on full alert and would not let it get close.
But under the attack of two people and one demon, especially the spirit beast master, he seemed unusually calm from a distance, and every time he attacked, it was the key moment for him to escape.
And Liu Huaigu was also very experienced, and he coordinated with the timing just right, otherwise Shangguan Tianque's back would not have been hit like that.
Although Shangguan Tianque felt that the cooperation between the two was still unfamiliar, they were too experienced. After just a few encirclements, the tacit understanding was rapidly enhanced, which forced Shangguan Tianque into a desperate situation.
