Chapter 266: Maple Leaves Are Gone, but the Sword Energy Remains
After a moment, Shi Xuan opened his eyes with a smile on his face.
There are a few more talisman and seal characters in the Tai Chi Diagram than before, which saves a lot of time for self-sacrifice. I didn’t expect that the Taiyin Moonlight Beast has such a relationship with the Tai Chi Diagram. No wonder they see me as if they are seeing the enemy who killed their father. Or they are chasing after things in their dreams. Maybe after they get the Tai Chi diagram, they will also be of great benefit to themselves.
But why is this not mentioned in the "Baolu"? Could it be that this was common sense in ancient times?
After determining the reason, Shi Xuan successively released the Taiyin Moonlight Beast from the Yin and Yang gas bottles and integrated it into the Tai Chi Diagram. It was not until most of it was consumed that Shi Xuan felt the restrictions of the Tai Chi Diagram again, and then he discovered a problem, that is, the Taiyin Moonlight Beast was The talisman and seal characters that have been transformed are all feminine, so this layer of restrictions in the Tai Chi Diagram still lacks masculine characters, as well as the talisman and seal characters for transformation of yin and yang, fixed earth, fire, feng shui, etc. In other words, before this layer of restrictions is completed, you want to rely on It is impossible to increase the restrictions on the Taiyin Moonlight Beast, which completely dispels Shi Xuan's idea of capturing the Taiyin Moonlight Beast.
Shi Xuan touched his chin and thought that those talisman characters in Yang most likely depended on another kind of Heavenly Demon, the Great Sun King Beast. However, for those talisman characters that transformed yin and yang and fixed earth, fire and feng shui, Shi Xuan did not expect what kind of heavenly demon could interact with them. To match it, he still had to slowly refine it by himself, but even so, with the addition of the Great Sunlight King Beast, Shi Xuan would have to save 30% of the time for refining the natal magic weapon out of thin air.
After putting away the Tai Chi chart, Shi Xuan stood up and identified the location. After finding that he was not far from Hongfeng Mountain, he raised the Heavenly Thunder Conquering Demon Sword and headed towards Hongfeng Mountain.
…………
Red Maple Mountain was one of the twelve mountains of the Five Peaks and Twelve Mountains of the Tianjian Sect in ancient times. It was the place where disciples of the Tianjian Sect held sword competitions. It is said that the mountain is covered with red maples and is like a sea of fire all year round.
At this moment, only half of the Red Maple Mountain is left, floating in the black void. On this half, except for some palaces and pavilions protected by formations that are still intact, the rest is completely barren, revealing jagged and strange rocks, but the world-famous red maple leaves are not there at all.
On a road not far from the top of the mountain, a fierce battle was taking place. Three Soul Stage monks surrounded another Soul Stage monk and attacked fiercely. All kinds of brilliance broke out from time to time.
The last monk in the Soul Stage was outnumbered and was hit by three flying swords from the neck, chest, and waist. He was so dead that he could not die anymore. Especially the sword from the waist directly cut him into two pieces, and his intestines and other internal organs were spilled all over the floor.
"Brother Che, this old guy is really troublesome. It took the three of us together for so long to kill him. I don't know if he has many good things in him." Li Wenju looked at the leader Che Zhao and said.
Che Zhao picked up the storage bag of the soul-stage man on the ground and sighed: "We are also unlucky. Why did we come to Hongfeng Mountain like a ghost to hunt for treasures? Except for the inaccessible hall, there are no other There is not a single item in the place. Hey, we have spent so many precious talismans and secret treasures on the way to deal with those demons. How can we make up for the loss without killing a few monks and grabbing a few storage bags?"
"Well, brother, look at what's in this old guy's storage bag!" Qi Chang looked at the storage bag in Che Zhao's hand eagerly.
Che Zhao opened the storage bag and took a look, and immediately cursed: "Damn, I'm afraid this old guy is just like us. He spent a lot of money and didn't have any precious items left. But having a forbidden talisman is pretty good, too. I don’t know if I can deal with the formation in the main hall.”
"What's the use? It's not that we haven't prepared items like the forbidden talisman, it's not that we can't get in. What should we do? If we can't find some precious talismans and secret treasures, let alone make up for the losses, we won't even be able to go back. It's a bit difficult." Li Wenju said with a sad face. Monks like them, who rely on elixirs to advance all the way, seem a little less confident once they have nothing to rely on. In addition, those demons are really terrifying, and they will die if they are not careful.
Che Zhao also frowned and thought. If he went back like this, not only would he be unwilling, but he was afraid that one or two people would die on the way. But before he could think of a way, Qi Chang hurriedly said: "Brother, someone is coming !" A green sword light appeared vaguely in the distance, and it became clear in the blink of an eye.
Che Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go to the top of the mountain and hide. As long as we are not the master of Jindan, or there are not many people, we will do what we just did again!"
Qi Chang and Li Wenju agreed immediately without saying anything. The three of them found several places on the top of Hongfeng Mountain. They each restrained their auras, concealed their bodies, and hid.
…………
Shi Xuan saw the Red Maple Mountain from a distance. Looking at the bare stone mountain, it was hard to imagine that this was an ancient scene of "thousands of miles of red maples connecting to the blue sky", and it felt like a vast world.
When they landed on the top of the mountain, Shi Xuan saw the relatively well-preserved hall. There was no plaque on it. The whole hall was mainly black and very heavy.
Before Shi Xuan could express any exclamations, Che Zhao over there saw that Shi Xuan was a monk in the soul stage and was alone. He was immediately overjoyed. The flying sword of his natal magical weapon turned into white light and hit Shi Xuan. Seeing him take action, Li Wenju and Qi Chang also fired their natal flying swords at the same time. Suddenly, white, green, and yellow sword lights slashed at Shi Xuan from three directions.
Shi Xuan felt it the moment they attacked, and he had judged their strength and the power of their attack. A layer of starlight with golden spots lit up on his body, and then the Thunder Demon Sword turned into a green lightning and flew towards Qi Chang. The sword light was fast, and it arrived in front of Qi Chang in just a snap of a finger, and then there was a faint thunder.
When Shi Xuan used the Xuanjin body protection skill, Che Zhao, Li Wenju and Qi Chang regretted it in their hearts. The ferocious aura of the ancient giant beast and the Taoist magic that was performed at will all showed that the person in front of them was a Jindan master. At the same time, they cursed in their hearts: "You, a Jindan master, should just release your Jindan pressure. Why do you have to restrain your aura? Isn't this a trap for us?!" But they didn't know that Shi Xuan was afraid of being caught by the Taiyin Moonlight Beast and other demons.
Che Zhao immediately made a decision, turned around and turned into a long rainbow and fled to the horizon. As for his natal flying sword, it exploded there without thinking.
Shi Xuan had already killed Qi Chang with one sword, and at the same time, after the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword pierced through Qi Chang, it had already reached Li Wenju. At this time, seeing Che Zhao running away, Shi Xuan's hand flashed with lightning, and a green lightning spike followed him, but what he didn't expect was that the natal flying sword actually exploded directly, and the rolling waves hit Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan's body was full of starlight, and the power of the natal flying sword's self-explosion just broke the starry Taoist robe transformed by the Xuanjin Body Protection Technique, but after encountering the cloud and mist fairy robe behind, it was already at the end of its strength, and was lightly blocked outside by the white clouds and mist.
After Che Zhao blew up his own flying sword, he paused for a moment, vomited blood, and looked pale, but he kept escaping, and even accelerated. He was about to leave the Red Maple Mountain. He suddenly felt ecstatic about escaping. As long as he got into the void, there were many broken lands where he could hide. The Jindan Grandmaster was not so easy to find, and the Jindan Grandmaster might not come to hunt him down. His flying sword blocked the Jindan Grandmaster for a while, so he died a worthy death.
But just as the smile on his face appeared, he felt a sharp pain, and watched a green lightning pierce through his chest, and the green lightning flashed on his body, and then he fell into eternal darkness.
Shi Xuan saw Che Zhao floating in the void with a charred body and no breath, so he casually fired a little spark to burn the body into ashes and took the storage bag over. It's not that Shi Xuan likes to destroy corpses, but if a corpse full of blood is left there, it will easily attract the demons. Even if he is not afraid, he will feel troublesome.
"Senior, senior, spare me, spare me, we didn't mean it, I didn't mean it! This is a misunderstanding!" Li Wenju knelt down and begged for mercy under the green sword light transformed by the Thunder Demon Sword, but he himself had a bad character, and begging for mercy under fear at this time was incoherent.
Shi Xuan smiled. If his strength was only that of an ordinary soul, it would not be a misunderstanding, but intentional and deliberate, so he did not answer, and directly used the soul search technique to see if these soul-stage cultivators found any clues here.
"It seems that except for the main hall, there is really nothing unusual in other places. Well, there is actually a forbidden talisman. In this way, even without full strength, the formation can be broken." Shi Xuan muttered to himself, and waved his hand, and chopped off Li Wenju's head with the Thunder Demon Sword.
After dealing with the three bodies on the top of the mountain, Shi Xuan came to the hall and casually cast two spells, which triggered the formation restriction with white sword energy. The ground outside the layer of white sword energy had been scratched with countless deep sword marks.
Shi Xuan first observed and calculated for a long time and found the slightly weak point of the formation. Then, while holding the ban-breaking talisman, he transformed the Tai Chi diagram into a golden bridge on the other side and crossed it under the layer of white sword energy. The wind and sword energy suddenly paused for a moment.
Taking advantage of this pause, the ban-breaking talisman emitted infinite golden light and stuck under the white sword energy. For a moment, the golden light and white sword energy flourished, crisscrossing in the air, making a buzzing sound.
Shi Xuan had already retreated a step, and the leaked white sword energy hit the starry Taoist robe transformed by the Xuanjin body-protecting skill, which only caused a series of tiny ripples.
When the golden light and sword energy stopped, a large hole appeared in the white sword energy in front of Shi Xuan, and the recovery speed was very slow. It might take seven or eight days to recover, so Shi Xuan turned into a breeze and went into the hole.
Shi Xuan walked to the main door of the hall and pushed it gently. The black door made a creaking sound and slowly opened backwards. After Shi Xuan scanned it with his consciousness and found that there was no danger, he slowly stepped into it.
Suddenly, a monstrous sword energy attacked Shi Xuan from above the hall.
