Chapter 1522 Replenishing Qi and Blood
Chen Xuan and Yang Yunshan can only stay inside forever. If only one person is left outside, that person will always leave to look for food, so that Chen Xuan and the others have a chance to escape.
"Hmph! I think you two are deliberately trying to go against us two brothers. Just wait and see me break this formation. You will be able to see it when the time comes."
Chen Xuan shut up. He didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the man with the knife anymore. The only way to survive now was to kill the man with the gun and make the man with the knife feel apprehensive.
At this time, the man with the gun finally calmed down, because he found that relying on brute force could not break through the constraints of the formation, so it was better to rest first and then think of a solution.
"I'm just sitting here and wasting my time with you. What do you do to me?" The man with the gun put his gun on the ground and sat down.
Before he finished speaking, a long sword pierced through the light curtain and headed straight for the gunman's heart. The man's hair suddenly opened, and he rolled over. He barely avoided the long sword, but the sword still cut a long gash in his arm, and the blood immediately dyed his clothes red.
The light curtain flashed by, and when the man tried to pick up his spear, he found that the spear had disappeared.
Outside the light curtain, Chen Xuan was holding a sword in his right hand and the spear in his left hand.
"You bastard, how dare you!" The man with the sword wielded a big sword outside.
What answered him was that the long sword passed through the light curtain again and pierced the throat of the man in the formation.
The man was covered in blood, dripping with cold sweat, and looked highly nervous. He was almost stabbed by a sword just now. It's no wonder that in the Spectral Killing Formation, you don't know where the sword is coming from or who is stabbing it, so it is of course very difficult to guard against it.
"I surrender, don't kill me. Brother, please help me, I can't hold on any longer!" Five minutes later, the man in the formation had been struck by seven or eight swords all over his body. The only thing he could do now was to always pay attention to the tip of the sword to avoid stabbing him. It hit the vital point, and the protection of the arms and legs had long been given up.
"Ah! I'm so angry. Second brother, hold on, watch me break this dead formation." The big man with the knife could only yell outside, unable to think of any solution. And he was secretly glad in his heart that he did not step into this great formation.
Another five minutes passed, and Chen Xuan was already able to skillfully manipulate the light screen to coordinate with the long sword he thrust out. Now he was about to complete the decisive blow against the middle man.
In fact, several times just now, Chen Xuan had the opportunity to stab the big man in the vital part, but due to hesitation in his heart, he slowed down his movements, allowing the big man to escape his life.
But at this point, both sides were locked in a fight to the death, and Chen Xuan finally made up his mind to kill the men in the formation.
"Ancestor, have mercy on me!" The man had completely lost his confidence now. The only thing he could do was to shout for mercy. But a sword stabbed through the air, and his throat was pierced. A look of fear appeared on his face, and then he fell to the ground with a thud, dying.
Chen Xuan put away his sword and gently wiped it on his clothes until all the blood on it disappeared. This sword was given to him by his master Du Zisong. He didn't have a space ring before, so he couldn't keep it with him, but after he came back last time, he received it together with the dagger bought by Yang Yunshan.
"You killed my second brother! You, I'm going to skin you." The man with the knife howled.
The big man roared fiercely, but he was actually very frightened in his heart. He even had the idea of running away. Both of them are cultivators at the eighth level of the mortal realm. They have experienced many storms and waves. Unexpectedly, this time the two of them were chasing an old man of the same realm, and the second brother actually lost his life. What's even more annoying is that the person who killed him was just a fourth-level mortal doll.
But Chen Xuan and Yang Yunshan can only stay in the big formation now. They rely on this big formation. Without the big formation, the two people's strength is not worth mentioning.
In terms of spiritual power alone, Chen Xuan's ability to control this light-splitting tribulation and killing formation has actually reached a very high level. Only a cultivator at the seventh level of the mortal realm can do it. But until now, Chen Xuan has not deliberately learned various techniques, which are commonly known as fighting methods. In this way, when facing the enemy, he can only rely on instinctive strength. If Chen Xuan had learned a set of swordsmanship, it would have taken less than ten minutes to kill the man in the formation just now. He could have defeated the enemy in one or two blows.
It's not that Chen Xuan doesn't want to learn techniques, but generally speaking, learning techniques only starts from the fifth level of the mortal realm. At least the Shenxin Sect stipulates that the disciple's authority to obtain techniques is the fifth level of the mortal realm.
Chen Xuan and Yang Yunshan stayed in the formation in fear, while the men outside were even more anxious. He knew that the boy in front of him was a disciple of the largest sect in the area. Now he was trapping the boy here. If his senior brothers came to find him, he would not be able to bear the consequences and walk away. "No, I can't expose myself too much. Even if I want to seek revenge, I can only enter the school secretly."
As night fell, Chen Xuan found that the man with the knife was missing.
Chen Xuan and Yang Yunshan stayed in the formation until the first light of the second morning before trying to get out of the formation. They walked around the formation for a few times, but found no sign of the big man, and then they rushed into the city in a panic.
They did not dare to go directly to the place where Yang Yunshan lived, and they were also afraid of encountering a man with a knife on the road, so they hid until noon before they returned to their residence.
Xian'er and Old Man Hu finally showed smiles on their faces when they saw the two coming back. They had been worried all night last night.
"How's it going? Have you dealt with those two guys?" Old Man Hu asked.
"Ahem! I was unlucky. I only managed to kill one." Chen Xuan replied. Then, he told his experience again, and finally asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did that guy disappear out of thin air? He should have been staring at us!"
"Do you think he is very strong? He is just an eighth-level mortal cultivator. Any of your senior brothers can strangle him to death with one hand." After all, Old Man Hu is old and experienced, and he immediately grasped the reason why the man disappeared.
Chen Xuan suddenly realized, and then became worried again, "Now the enemy is hiding in the dark, we should pay more attention."
"It doesn't matter! I won't move if the enemy doesn't move. As long as we are more careful, when my injury gets better, I can control the large formation outside, and then we will have no worries about protecting ourselves." Old Man Hu said.
"When will your injury heal?"
"At most half a month, as long as you replenish your blood and qi."
"Okay, you should pay more attention in the next half month, and don't reveal your whereabouts. After old man Hu recovers, we will formulate the next action plan." Chen Xuan finally said, "I am going back to the sect today, you must be careful."
This time Chen Xuan helped old man Hu, and old man Hu never mentioned the 500 top-grade wood spirit crystals he promised. But Chen Xuan would not deny it. Before leaving, he and old man Hu exchanged phosphorus. After one and a half months, he would send these spirit crystals to old man Hu.
Old man Hu did not ask the reason for one and a half months, but he thought that this time should be just right. If the knife-wielding man still had no trace after one and a half months, it would prove that he had returned to Iron Lion City, then old man Hu and Xian'er would have to move. At this time, those spirit crystals would be very important travel expenses.
Chen Xuan did not think so much. He had to pay off the 100,000 spirit crystals owed to the sect this month, and there was really no way to make extra for old man Hu.
On the way back to the sect, Chen Xuan was always cautious, but in the end he was just too worried. He didn't meet many people on the way, let alone a strong man like that.
Chen Xuan returned to the sect a day later this time. According to the sect rules, he had to accept the punishment of stopping the supply of resources for one month. Twenty ordinary wood spirit crystals, this is the resources he deserves for one month as a third-level spiritual power, Chen Xuan just smiled.
Chen Xuan felt that what he did during this trip was not perfect. First, there was nothing, and second, Yang Yunshan was in danger. Zheng was the result of his failure to calculate clearly in advance.
But at the same time, there were still gains. This time he not only realized the power of the formation, but also exercised his abilities.
Among all the problems, Chen Xuan thought the most about how to get rid of the knife-wielding man. He even thought about whether it was possible to publish a task to kill the knife-wielding man on the sect's task list. If this works, Chen Xuan believes that the man will definitely not survive three days.
But after thinking about it, I felt that this was not appropriate. How could the sect's task list allow disciples to issue such tasks casually? Unless there is evidence that the person being killed is a vicious person, or has made a huge mistake that harms the sect. Like Chen Xuan now, just to protect his friends, he has to kill others. This behavior is impossible to be listed on the task list to issue a kill order.
If both are not possible, there is one last option that can work, that is, relying on personal feelings, asking someone to kill the man. If you do this, the sect should not interfere after knowing it. But then the problem comes again. Chen Xuan knows a lot of people, but there are no real friends!
Master Huang has been close to me recently. If I promise some benefits, I may be able to invite him. Unfortunately, Master Huang is concentrating on breaking through the ninth level of mental power.
As time goes by, the number of Chen Xuan's top-grade wood spirit crystals is increasing.
