Chapter 322: Escape
However, no matter how smart the Chihuo Patriarch was, he could still make mistakes. More than a decade ago, he met two young girls from the Ye family who were training outside. Seeing that the two girls were beautiful and refined, he had evil thoughts and directly took them back to his cave to enjoy himself. However, he did not expect that one of the two girls was a direct descendant of the Ye family and had a way to save her life. She hastily crushed the sound transmission jade talisman, and was found by the Ye family Patriarch in the cave in just one day. The two of them fought a fierce battle when they met, but no matter how many magical powers the Chihuo Patriarch used, he was no match for the Ye family Patriarch when there was a difference of two realms, and he was finally defeated and captured.
After a fight between the Ye family ancestor and the Chihuo ancestor, the original killing intention had changed to the intention of subduing him. In the end, the ancestor promised Chihuo that as long as he was willing to become a guest minister of the Ye family, not only would he not be killed, but the two girls of the family would be promised to him as concubines, and the Ye family would give him a lot of cultivation resources. In this way, this one-legged giant owl became a guest elder of the Ye family.
In this way, the entire Ye family is already very strong among the second-rate families. Think about it, Xuanqing Temple has only one ancestor in the middle stage of the golden elixir, which is already a bit famous, not to mention that the Ye family is a family of cultivators with three golden elixirs, so it has become the top force among the second-rate families.
This time, the Red Fire Ancestor came to the Hu Chen Family with the Ye Family Ancestor, and the Ye Family left another Jindan elder to guard. In order to be on the safe side, when they were a distance away from the Hu Chen Family, the Ye Family Ancestor left the Red Fire Ancestor outside for emergency use. In the end, when Li Yan helped Hu Chen Wuding to win the final victory, the Ye Family Ancestor did not see the Ten-Step Courtyard Sword that Li Yan took out at all, so he always thought that Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng were the same people, and that his hard work failed, and it was Li Yan who did it, so he took the two as hunting targets. However, he had to participate in the Inheritance Son Ceremony of the Hu Chen Family three days later, so he could not leave, so he sent a message to the Red Fire Ancestor who was outside, and recorded the appearance of Li Yan and the two and sent them together, asking him to kill the two no matter what.
After receiving the message, the Red Fire Ancestor waited near the Hu Chen Family, and soon waited for Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng, but he did not dare to do it there, so he could only hang behind them from a distance, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Although Chihuo Patriarch knew that Huchen Patriarch could not always release his spiritual consciousness, he was still careful until he followed him five thousand miles away. Although he also called himself "Patriarch", he knew that his title of ancestor might not even be counted as a mouse compared to Huchen Patriarch.
When Li Yan and his companions finally entered the market, there were also two Jindan cultivators in the market, so he still couldn't take action. What made Chihuo Patriarch depressed was that Li Yan and his companions separated after entering the market. Chihuo Patriarch hesitated again and again, and finally did not chase Zhuo Lingfeng, but chose to stay and kill Li Yan. After all, the Ye family ancestor sent him a message, mainly pointing out that Li Yan was the one who deserved to die the most.
He followed Li Yan all the way to here, and after following him for a short distance, there was no one else in his spiritual consciousness except the two of them, so Chihuo Patriarch planned to take action.
This was not because he was timid, but he had to be so careful to deal with a foundation-building cultivator. This was a habit he developed when he was a casual cultivator. Although he killed many people, he acted cautiously.
Just now, what both parties thought was just a flash in their minds, and it didn't even take half a breath. Li Yan revealed the origin of the Red Fire Ancestor. The Red Fire Ancestor raised his eyebrows and didn't answer at all, not to mention giving Li Yan time. Instead, he waved his hand, without any gestures, and a huge palm with billowing flames suddenly appeared in the air, and then slapped down from the sky. This palm was transformed by fire spirit power, and it was four or five feet in size. As soon as it formed in the air, a high temperature that could burn everything attacked the ground.
Although Li Yan asked in his mouth, he had already prepared. Just as the Red Fire Ancestor raised his eyebrows and made a move, Li Yan had already disappeared from the spot. Facing a Jindan cultivator, Li Yan now had no choice but to dodge. In a desert, the fastest option was to use earth escape.
"It's really ridiculous to use such means in front of me." The Red Fire Ancestor in the air looked at the place where Li Yan disappeared, and a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had no intention of using magic weapons at all. Even the magic he used was ordinary magic. The Red Fire Ancestor's fiery palm condensed in the air remained the same, but the direction changed, and it smashed towards the distant place fiercely.
Underground, Li Yan, who was moving rapidly in the quicksand, suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and then a huge force pressed down directly from the top of his head. The next moment, the ten "Ghost Car Talismans" that had just been attached to his body made two loud noises and exploded. Li Yan hurriedly shrank his head and arched his back, and then he felt a strong force directly hitting his spiritual shield. The whole earth made a dull rumbling sound, and then Li Yan was like a nail, and was hit deeper into the quicksand.
As Li Yan fell, he spurted out a large mouthful of blood. The spiritual shield outside his body also shattered like paper. His head was dizzy and his chest was stuffy. Li Yan shook his head hard, trying to make himself more awake. Just now, he only had time to use ten of the thirty "Ghost Car Talismans" on his body. Although they were still vulnerable, fortunately, there was a thick layer of sand on top to disperse most of the attacks for him. In addition, the accumulated defense power of the ten "Ghost Car Talismans" and the spiritual shield still resisted most of the remaining power. Finally, he was taken over by the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique. Otherwise, he would have been dead at this time.
"Hey!" The ancestor of Chihuo in mid-air let out a surprised sound. Although he just made an ordinary palm, he still used 30% of his strength. Normally, even if he was replaced by a late-stage foundation-building
The monk must have been seriously injured by his blow, and he could have died immediately. However, he wanted to keep Li Yan to search for his soul, so he did not kill him directly. But this kid was only driven more than fifty feet underground by him. In his consciousness, Li Yan still had aura. Although it was very weak, it was not to the point of being seriously injured and unable to move.
Li Yan was still dizzy in his mind. At this time, the Earth Escape Technique was broken, and huge forces from all directions suddenly gathered towards him, as if they were about to squeeze him to death. Li Yan's body made a "click" sound, and there was a sharp pain in the shoulder blades of his back. He knew that although his back had received the rest of the attack, his shoulder blades had been broken in several places, and what was even more terrible at this moment was The surrounding sand and mud were swarming towards him.
The Chihuo Ancestor in mid-air smiled contemptuously and stretched out a finger. In an instant, a spiritual power appeared on the fingertip, which immediately turned into a long hook of blood-like spiritual power. He wanted to hook Li Yan directly from the ground. He believed that even if Li Yan still had the ability to move, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to escape his spiritual hook. But at this moment, his body suddenly shook, and his mind was confused for a moment, and then It was the movement of spiritual energy in the body that began to stagnate.
"No, I'm poisoned!" The ancestor of Chihuo was shocked. He had taken every precaution, but he still didn't know when he was poisoned. The ancestor of the Ye family once told him in the summons that the young monk among them was good at He must be careful when using poison.
When Ancestor Chihuo saw the message, he also placed it on his body. He was careful and would not let down his guard just because the other party was a foundation-building monk. However, during the entire process of chasing Li Yan just now, , he held his breath, and opened his consciousness fully, carefully sensing all the abnormalities around him. It can be said that during the entire pursuit, if there was even a trace of strange smell or a little bit of smoke and water vapor coming out between him and Li Yan, he would know it. , but none of this happened along the way. Even when he passed Li Yan, he deliberately avoided the route Li Yan took, but he still ended up inexplicably.
Just as the Chihuo Ancestor was shaking, Li Yan reluctantly picked up the magic formula under the ground, and the Earth Escape Technique was activated again. Although his shoulder blade was fractured, he had no intention of healing at this time, and once again tried his best to attack As he fled far away, he was already frightened in his heart. The golden elixir cultivator was definitely not an enemy he could face. If the opponent immediately killed him as soon as they met, cast a powerful spell or sacrificed a magic weapon, he would probably be a corpse by now. Fortunately, the other party had the intention to capture him alive and took precautions in his attack. However, the other party did not expect that he had practiced the infinite magic of purgatory and had cultivated his body to a very strong level. Even though it was destroyed by one blow, Fu Yan and the spiritual shield were still resisted by him.
Li Yan did not carefully investigate the situation of the Chihuo Ancestor on the ground. Under the absolute strength, he had no choice but to escape.
And he was not attacked again. He guessed that the poison in the opponent's body had already taken effect. However, Li Yan was not sure how much effect the poison he set could have on a golden elixir monk, or whether it was just a momentary block. It still lasts longer, so as long as he is not attacked continuously, he can just run for his life.
Li Yan's timing of setting up an ambush is usually elusive. Once he senses that something is wrong, he will strike first, regardless of whether the other party is really an enemy.
This time he set up an ambush in the teleportation array. When the Chihuo Ancestor behaved abnormally at the last three nodes, Li Yan was already quietly in the small teleportation array without being able to see through the opponent's cultivation. A poison was released in the space. This poison was exactly the poison originally used on He Manzi. It was called "Separating Heaven and Earth". The reason why he chose the poison was that it was mild in nature and its concealment was the most potent among Li Yan's fragmented poisons. It is strong, and its biggest function is to isolate spiritual power, causing the poisoned person to lose control of the spiritual power in the body for a short period of time, as if being isolated from the world. And at the same time, Li Yan is not sure whether the other party is a real enemy, so he cannot really use methods that can take people's lives.
It was Li Yan's cautious character that allowed him to temporarily escape the disaster. However, when he was not sure about the opponent's details, he only controlled a very small amount of the "Isolating Heaven and Earth" poison to be released, and at the same time, with the help of them during the transmission process It is necessary to use the convenience of spiritual power to protect the body. Even if there are subtle fluctuations in the teleportation array, they are usually ignored. The rules of space are the most amazing rules of heaven and earth that cultivators feel. Occasionally, some incomprehensible things will appear during the teleportation process. Subtle phenomena, as long as these phenomena do not continue to expand, are normal. Li Yan took advantage of this condition and made Ancestor Chihuo inevitably contaminated with this poison.
Li Yan had already walked for more than forty miles underground in the desert. At this time, he let go of his consciousness and swept back. After sweeping, his heart felt slightly relieved. The ancestor of Chihuo had already fallen from the sky. On the ground, after swallowing the elixir, he was meditating with his eyes closed to recover, and the fluctuations of spiritual power outside his body suddenly became stronger and weaker.
Li Yan knew that this would not be good. Although he had taken precautions at the time, he released too little "Isolating Heaven and Earth" poison, which also caused the onset of the disease later. For a Jindan cultivator, it was impossible for him to take a long time to recover like Manzi. After confirming the situation, Li Yan broke out of the ground directly. This earth escape technique would not be as fast as flying anyway. After flying in the air, Li Yan took out several pills and swallowed them, turning into a streak of light and quickly flew towards the distant sky.
Just as Li Yan quickly disappeared into the sky, the Red Fire Ancestor, who was closing his eyes, opened his eyes slightly, looked coldly at the direction where Li Yan disappeared, and then closed his eyes again. However, no one knew his inner anger at the moment. He was actually plotted against by a foundation-building cultivator, and he didn't know how the other party did it until now.
