Chapter 70: Formation Basics
c_t; Luo Xiu, holding a bloody sword in his hand, chased all the way. The blood on the corner of his mouth was not wiped off. His clothes were a little damaged, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Haha, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in!"
Tian Guangyou saw Luo Xiu and laughed, and said with a cruel face: "Hand over the Huoyang fruit, and I will leave you a whole body."
He was a warrior of the eighth level of Qi Hai, and he didn't take the other party, who was at the fifth level of Qi Hai, seriously at all.
Tian Guangyou was brainless, but it didn't mean that Zhang Haifei and Miao Feifei were also brainless.
Zhang Haifei saw the blood on the sword in Luo Xiu's hand and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Want Huoyang fruit? Of course."
Luo Xiu smiled slightly and said, "But you have to exchange it with your life."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Tian Guangyou was about to say that you kid was sensible, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was furious and rushed towards Luo Xiu with a sword in hand.
"You don't know how to behave, come and die!"
The light on the sword was shining, Tian Guangyou was murderous, and his move was extremely ruthless.
"Swish!"
Luo Xiu swung the sword in his hand, and the sword with cold light brought up a piece of hot blood.
Tian Guangyou's eyes were wide open, his body movements stopped abruptly, blood gushed from his neck, and he fell into a pool of blood with a thud.
The sword in his hand was also broken into two pieces.
In the moment just now, Luo Xiu swung his sword to cut off his sword, and sealed his throat with one sword, killing him with one blow.
When Miao Feifei saw this scene, her pretty face suddenly turned pale. Without saying a word, she turned around and left, and got into the nearby bushes.
Zhang Haifei also wanted to escape. Luo Xiu's sword just now made him extremely terrified. This kid's cultivation must not be as simple as the fifth level of Qi Hai, and his sword can easily cut off the lower-grade human-level sword. It must be a high-grade combat soldier.
However, when he was in charge of the formation to trap and kill the green-winged demon snake, his true energy was almost exhausted. Although he took a pill, it only restored a little. He was afraid that he would be stopped before he could escape, so he suddenly jumped up and grabbed Lu Mengyao beside him.
However, Luo Xiu took the initiative and was faster than him.
A sword light slashed in the air, causing Zhang Haifei's face to change, and he quickly retracted his hand that was grabbing Lu Mengyao.
Luo Xiu had no expression on his face, and his move was also decisive and straightforward. The sword was instantly raised horizontally and slashed towards Zhang Haifei's neck.
Zhang Haifei quickly took out a disc-shaped formation device, and a light curtain lit up to protect him.
Luo Xiu's sword slashed on the light curtain, and the light curtain rippled like water waves, but did not break. Zhang Haifei also retreated with the force and quickly escaped.
As a third-level formation master, Zhang Haifei's methods are comparable to those of an innate martial artist. If he was in his prime, he would naturally not be afraid of Luo Xiu, but at this moment he had to escape.
Moreover, he activated a third-level defensive array magic treasure. Luo Xiu only used one sword, and the defensive light curtain suddenly dimmed. It is estimated that if he uses another sword, the defensive light curtain will be broken.
This situation undoubtedly shows that the grade of the sword in Luo Xiu's hand must be very high, and it may even exceed the scope of human-level war weapons. Could it be a ground-level sword?
Zhang Haifei did not escape far, and Luo Xiu quickly caught up with him, stabbing through the air with a ground-level sword.
With a puff, the defensive light curtain broke and collapsed, and the array disk in Zhang Haifei's hand also made a click, and several cracks appeared.
"Not good!"
Zhang Haifei's face changed drastically, and he quickly took out another jade talisman. Just as he was about to crush the jade talisman with force, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and a sword pierced his body. Then his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
Luo Xiu pulled out the sword, squatted down, and wiped the blood on the sword with Zhang Haifei's clothes.
This was not the first time he had killed someone, and the person he had killed was someone who deserved to be killed, so his mood was not disturbed at all.
Picking up the jade talisman in Zhang Haifei's hand, Luo Xiu took a look and found that it was a wind control talisman with a third-level wind control array engraved on it. Once crushed, the user's speed would double.
However, before Zhang Haifei could crush the wind control talisman, he was killed by Luo Xiu with a sword. Otherwise, he might have really escaped.
Then Luo Xiu put away Zhang Haifei's storage ring, which contained hundreds of low-grade vitality stones, some elixirs, and several array treasures.
Lu Mengyao was waiting anxiously near the bushes, looking a little worried. Read the latest chapter in full
There was a sound of footsteps, and when she saw Luo Xiu coming back, she was relieved. Since Luo Xiu was back, he should have killed Zhang Haifei.
"Are you okay?" Luo Xiu looked at her and asked.
"I'm fine." Lu Mengyao shook her head, then took out a storage wristband and handed it to Luo Xiu.
This storage wristband belonged to Tian Guangyou. After being killed by Luo Xiu, he went after Zhang Haifei and was collected by Lu Mengyao.
"Let's leave here first."
After a while, Luo Xiu took Lu Mengyao back to the cave and decomposed the body of the green-winged demon snake with a ground-level sword.
When Lu Mengyao saw the ten-foot-long snake body, she was almost stunned.
"How did he do it?" Lu Mengyao looked at Luo Xiu's back and felt more and more that she didn't seem to know him.
After collecting the materials of the green-winged demon snake, Luo Xiu immediately took Lu Mengyao away from here. Zhang Haifei and Tian Guangyou were killed by him, but the woman Miao Feifei escaped. No one could say whether they had other companions.
In Luo Xiu's hand, there was a simplified map of the Guanlei Mountains obtained from the Hunters Guild. About half an hour later, the two of them were far away from the previous area.
The Guanlei Mountain Range is vast, and Luo Xiu does not dare to set foot in the deep areas. Even if he plans to cross it to Douhai County, Luo Xiu's plan is to only go around the outside and go around.
When Luo Xiu told Lu Mengyao her thoughts, she looked slightly sad and said, "After you send me to Leiwu Sect, where do you plan to go?"
"Be at peace with the situation, the world is your home." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
Walking in the forest, the two became silent for a while.
With the help of the ability to sense life, Luo Xiu would avoid some monsters above level three. As he continued to go deeper, he became farther and farther away from Yunlong County.
From Zhang Haifei's storage ring, Luo Xiu found a book on the basics of formations, which talked about the basics of formations.
That Zhang Hai Fei was a third-level formation mage, so it was not surprising that he had such a book on him.
In the past, Luo Xiu had not thought about studying the art of formation, but after what happened to the Green-Winged Demonic Snake, he discovered the power of the art of formation.
With the help of formations, formation masters can not only refine various treasures, but also kill enemies by leapfrogging levels. For example, Zhang Haifei, who is at the ninth level of the Qi Sea, can have strength comparable to that of an innate martial artist with the help of third-level formations.
It's just a pity that what he wanted to hunt was the green-winged demon snake, which was far from the ordinary third-level demonic beast, so in the end he fell short.
When he was in Qingyun Martial Palace, Luo Xiu also learned some information about formations. It is said that formations are complicated and profound, and require extremely high talent to understand them. Many formation masters have studied for a lifetime, and therefore delayed their own martial arts. Entry.
As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If a person wants to achieve success in martial arts, he can't be distracted by studying formations, refining pills, and casting.
However, those warriors who concentrate on studying formations, refining alchemy, and casting are relatively inferior in martial arts advancement.
Of course, it is said that there are also some extremely talented people with extremely high qualifications who can do both and achieve extremely high achievements.
When Luo Xiu took out this book on the basics of formations, he actually had no intention of embarking on the path of formations, but just wanted to know more about formations.
He knew very well that he would be practicing outside all year round to learn more about formations. If he met some warriors who practiced formations, he would not be blinded.
At the edge of the Guanlei Mountains, Luo Xiu would not encounter any danger as long as he was careful. As he got closer to Douhai County, perhaps knowing that the two were about to separate, Lu Mengyao spoke less and spent most of the time. remain silent.
When Luo Xiu was studying the basics of the formation, she would always look at him in a daze, but Luo Xiu himself had no idea.
Luo Xiu didn't know what Lu Mengyao was thinking. When he started to look through this book on the basics of formations, he was attracted by the various mysteries explained in the formations.
Formation can be said to be an alternative martial arts. Warriors use formation flags made from various materials and engraved with formation patterns and runes to achieve the purpose of drawing the power of heaven and earth for their own use.
During this process, the wheels of life and death in the dantian rotated independently and rapidly, and the first original law diagram became increasingly clear in my mind. The lines and strange-shaped runes in the law diagram actually also contained The mystery of formation.
Not only that, the Life and Death Pearl that was integrated with the soul also conveyed a mystery that could only be understood but not expressed in words, making him feel that the so-called complex and profound formations were actually very simple.
Three days later, Luo Xiu had read through the basics of this formation. All the formation theories from level one to level three explained in it were also understood by Luo Xiu, which made him feel that it was all incredible.
However, Luo Xiu soon understood that he did not believe that his understanding was so powerful, and it must be because of the Life and Death Bead.
The Pearl of Life and Death contains the origin of heaven and earth. The so-called origin is all-encompassing. Everything evolves from the origin, and formations are naturally among them.
In theory, Luo Xiu is now equivalent to the level of a third-level formation mage, but this has not been practiced and he cannot be completely sure.
Arrangement of formations requires the assistance of formation flags. Most of the formation flags used by formation masters are entrusted to forgers to make them. Then the formation masters engrave formation runes on the formation flags, and only then can powerful formations be arranged.
Luo Xiu didn't have the formation flag in his hand. Although he felt itchy, he couldn't try to see if he could set up a third-level formation.
Unconsciously, Luo Xiu and Lu Mengyao had been in Guanlei Mountains for half a month.
During this period, Luo Xiu gained a lot, especially his understanding and appreciation of the formation method, which suddenly opened up many problems that he had not understood before.
His cultivation level has also been steadily improving, and it won't take long for him to break through to the sixth level of Qi Sea.
The realm of martial arts has also increased rapidly. Kuai Jian Jue has officially entered the realm of Dacheng from the past Xiaocheng realm!
The Ten Directions Afterimage Body Technique can also manifest eight afterimages, and the speed becomes faster.
The time passed in each other's silence, and Lu Mengyao did not slack off in his cultivation, reaching the sixth level of Qi Sea one step ahead of Luo Xiu.
This made Luo Xiu understand that his cultivation talent was actually not outstanding. At least Lu Mengyao's talent was definitely much better than his. The reason why he was able to achieve his current achievements was all due to the Life and Death Bead.
"With a treasure like the Pearl of Life and Death, if I still can't make achievements in martial arts, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity given to me by fate?"
Luo Xiu is full of confidence in his future.
On this land, countless talented people are pursuing the path to the peak of martial arts. He has grown up listening to the legends and biographies of countless strong men. At the age of fourteen, he actually longed to become such a strong man himself.
