Chapter 235 Return
Looking at Chen Yuan who fell unwillingly not far away, Song Qingming, whose head was already covered with sweat, also breathed a sigh of relief.
This attack just now almost consumed 80% of his mana. If he failed to kill Chen Yuan this time, he could only flee desperately. At that time, unless he had extraordinary luck, he would definitely die in Chen Yuan's hands.
The green light needle that Song Qingming just used was also the invisible jade wind needle that he had practiced for many years, but this time he used it more specially than before.
After practicing the invisible jade wind needle to a certain stage, the jade needle transformed by the mana in the body will become very sharp and hard as iron. As long as there is enough mana, dozens of jade needles condensed by the mana can be fused together to form a large jade needle with far greater power than usual.
The power of the jade needle fired in this way is also far greater than that of ordinary spells, which is why Chen Yuan's water shield was easily penetrated by it just now.
Song Qingming barely managed to do this two years ago. Although the enhanced spell is very powerful, it also has a very obvious disadvantage. It requires a long time to prepare for casting and consumes a lot of mana. As far as Song Qingming's current mana is concerned, he can barely cast it once in a battle.
Regardless of the power of the spell, it will also change greatly with the level of cultivation of the caster. Although this spell still has a lot of defects at present, when Song Qingming's cultivation level is improved in the future and he has enough mana in his body, he can also treat it as a low-level fireball spell and cast it at will.
Although Chen Yuan is not very good at direct fighting and the magic weapon in his hand is also ordinary, his cultivation is one level higher than Song Qingming. If Song Qingming and him fight head-on, it will definitely be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.
Before launching the attack, Song Qingming had already formulated his own tactics. At this time, he was poisoned and could not compete with him to drag it on. He could only choose to take some risks and make surprise moves to have a chance of winning.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan had practiced Taoism for many years and was a cautious person. He successfully used the Soul-Bewitching Banner to scare him for a moment, condensed the jade needle for himself, and bought limited time.
If the opponent was a reckless person and ignored the interference of the Soul-Bewitching Banner and chose to attack at the beginning, Song Qingming would not have so much time to complete this spell and use this fatal blow.
After collecting the magic weapon on the ground, Song Qingming searched Chen Yuan's fat body again and accidentally found several storage bags. Then he set a fire to burn him clean and left here quickly.
Although the battle with him just now was not long, it was not small. It might attract other people with ulterior motives. Now that his magic power has been exhausted, there are poisons on his body that may attack at any time. It is really too dangerous to stay here.
After walking out from the bottom of the cliff, Song Qingming simply walked south for more than ten miles and found a desolate cave abandoned by a low-level monster on a relatively desolate hillside and hid in it.
Although the monster's cave was very messy and smelled a bit bad, it was hidden enough, which was very suitable for him now. In order to prevent others from easily finding this place, Song Qingming spent some time to set up a set of concealment formations at the entrance of the cave to hide the outside entrance.
Song Qingming first checked the poisoned position on his arm and found that there was a large black area on his arm and some numbness. He quickly took another detoxification pill and spent several hours concentrating on using his magic power to finally force out all the toxins in his body.
Fortunately, before entering the secret realm, he made sufficient preparations and brought a lot of detoxification pills with him. Although these detoxification pills could not remove the toxins at once, they still suppressed the severe toxins in the body very well and did not let them affect his previous battle. Otherwise, if he had been poisoned not long after the beginning, he might have died under Chen Yuan's knife.
After eliminating the hidden dangers in his body, Song Qingming took the time to swallow a few more healing pills, took out a medium-grade spirit stone, and began to absorb the pure spiritual energy in the spirit stone, wanting to restore his own mana as quickly as possible. Only after the mana in his body had recovered more than half, did Song Qingming gradually let go of his hanging heart.
After coming out of the inner valley, he had been running for more than a day with fear, and had a big battle with Chen Yuan. Now Song Qingming was already exhausted. Now he finally found a place to rest in peace. Song Qingming leaned against a stone wall in the cave and slowly closed his eyes.
Song Qingming stayed in this cave for three days until the last day when the secret realm was about to close. After feeling a violent spiritual power fluctuation coming from the outside world, Song Qingming walked out carefully.
As he expected, the secret realm passage had been reopened. At this time, a huge black vortex had appeared above the sky, which was extremely dark and deep.
After the black vortex stabilized, sword lights slowly appeared above the sky. They were all the monks who survived in the secret realm. They were now eager to pass through the passage and return to the outside world.
Some of them were in tattered clothes and covered in blood, obviously surviving after a brutal battle, while others looked calm and bright, and it was unknown whether they were really strong or just lucky enough to avoid being spied on because they found a good position.
Song Qingming did not wait any longer, and directly stepped on the flying sword and followed the first group of people through the dark passage.
After a familiar feeling of dizziness, Song Qingming successfully returned to the small hillside before entering the secret realm. Following the cultivator in front, after handing in the identity token that he had spent 100 spirit stones to buy before entering, Song Qingming and the dozens of cultivators who came out of the first group stepped back onto the teleportation array platform when they came.
After the white light flashed, everyone returned to the Taiyue Lake Market. Standing on the teleportation platform, Song Qingming glanced and found that the Jindan Zhenren who led the major sects that he had seen when he entered before did not appear here, and gradually put his mind at ease.
As long as nothing happens to Huo Feng, no one should know that he secretly entered the inner valley with Huo Feng this time. Although it should not be difficult for Huo Feng to shake off the Lingyin Sect cultivators who chased her before with her strength, it is better to be safe than sorry. After all, no matter how high her cultivation is, she will be suppressed in the secret realm. Although one or two people will not be her opponent, if she is surrounded by a group of people, even if Huo Feng is powerful, she will be outnumbered.
If Huo Feng really gets into trouble, Song Qingming will also be implicated. Although he was coerced by Huo Feng, as a human cultivator, he helped the demons enter the inner valley to collect spiritual objects. Once Xiaoyao Sect knows about it, he and the entire Song family will suffer a catastrophe.
There are a total of 40 to 50 cultivators who returned to the outside world in the first batch. Song Qingming looked for them and did not find the Huang family members who came with him. Then he went directly back to the inn where the previous few people stayed in the market.
