Chapter 195 Black Shadow
Song Hu and Tian Jing also took action at the same time, each choosing a target. The Eagle Feather Sect monks who were caught off guard were killed one after another. Only the most powerful monk turned into a black light and flew away through the air. When the black robe shook, it was like a huge black eagle flapping its wings. The speed was really fast. It wasn't much worse than Xun Xiu's spaceship magic weapon, but Xun Xiu obviously had no intention of pursuing it further, and instead allowed the other party to escape.
"This guy ran away so fast." Su Qing beheaded one of her hands and stamped her feet angrily. The rude remarks made by the group just now made her very angry.
"It's really dangerous. If it weren't for Senior Brother Xun and Senior Brother Lu who showed up in time, even if we could escape, we would still have to suffer some injuries." Wu Yan also gritted her teeth angrily.
"Senior Brother Xun, you also rushed to the Xiyuan Kingdom after receiving the palace master's transmission talisman?" Luo Qian selectively ignored Lu Xiaotian and asked Xun Xiu.
"Yes, it seems that the situation in the Western Yuan Kingdom is a bit more complicated than expected." Xun Xiu nodded.
After the group of people gathered together, they naturally became more courageous due to the large number of people. Together with eight foundation-building monks, they were considered a very powerful force. It was originally just a secular country, and only a few places with relatively abundant spiritual energy had immortal cultivating families. At this time, it was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.
Since they have all entered the foundation building stage, some need to improve their cultivation and some need to practice combat skills. Some people have to use time to recover at night after fighting during the day. Eight people suddenly found themselves in a bamboo forest at night.
Lu Xiaotian and Song Hu were arranged to watch at night to avoid sneak attacks by other Southern Wilderness monks.
The moon emerges from the clouds at night, adding a sense of tranquility to the vast bamboo forest. Song Hu, like Luo Qian, might have been extremely afraid of Lu Xiaotian during the Qi refining period, but after the foundation building period, the starting line between the two sides was close again, and he didn't pay much attention to Lu Xiaotian, so he patrolled and kept vigil on the other side.
Lu Xiaotian didn't care about this, although people like Luo Qian and Su Qing were resting and recovering their mana. However, the foundation-building monks are extremely sensitive to the outside world, and the slightest fight will immediately alert everyone.
It’s just that Lu Xiaotian intuitively felt something was wrong. The group of them followed the traces of the foreign monks along the distressed village. Although they met up with Su Qing and his group in time and killed several disciples of the Eagle Feather Sect, But after fighting against these people, the disciples of the Eagle Feather Sect were not like those who attacked the secular villagers. There must be someone else, but who is that person and what is his purpose?
Bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze. Lu Xiaotian was only responsible for patrolling the distance within a few miles of the camp. Although the team’s camp in the bamboo forest could no longer be seen with the naked eye, the distance of several miles was very important to the entire vehicle. The running Foundation Establishment monks are just a matter of taking a few breaths. As long as they are not seriously injured by the enemy's sneak attack or killed with one blow, there will not be any big problem in terms of safety.
Under the moonlight, a faint black shadow was not very conspicuous among the swaying trees. It was slowly approaching Lu Xiaotian. After observing Lu Xiaotian for a while, he saw Lu Xiaotian holding his chin and looking like a thinking He was obviously thinking about a problem, but it was an opportunity. At this time, the black shadow's eyes flashed with snake-like viciousness. The black shadow swept forward, and in a blink of an eye, it was ten feet away. It was about to approach Lu Xiaotian, and a golden light Suddenly it flew out from Lu Xiaozai's body.
Qiang, the earth-shattering knife is together with a pitch-black iron claw. The five fingers of the iron claw were like hooks, and it actually wanted to catch the extremely sharp earth-shattering knife in one fell swoop.
Lu Xiaotian yelled angrily when he saw this, the golden light of the earth-shattering knife shined brightly, and the earth-shattering knife grasped by the black claws shook violently. The two were competing with each other, but what surprised him was that he was even inferior in strength.
A look of surprise flashed through the cold eyes of the burly and strange man in black robes. Lu Xiaotian’s thoughtful look would never have been hidden from his eyes, but he didn’t expect a sneak attack under such circumstances. It was incredible that he was still noticed by the other party. The strange black-robed man's eyes flashed and he got into the bamboo forest so fast that Lu Xiaotian couldn't catch up.
“The vicious and strange aura is somewhat similar.” Lu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to recall the earth-shattering knife that broke free from the other party’s restraints. Although it was just the first time they fought, the other party’s cultivation level was not simple, although he did not have it either. Try his best, after all, so far, what he has shown is still only the strength of a first-level foundation-building monk, and even Xun Xiu cannot see his depth.
But the opponent's strength is obviously extremely strong. If he hadn't been worried about alarming Su Qing and Luo Qian, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to fool people like him if he continued to use the strength of the first level of foundation building. As for the opponent's speed, Lu Xiaotian's pupils flashed, and he was at least a bit faster than him. Even if he wanted to catch up, he might not be able to catch up. Unless the other party intends to let him catch up, this situation is obviously not what Lu Xiaotian wants. If it were someone else, with the speed of the black-robed weirdo, he would probably have succeeded in a sneak attack. However, even when Lu Xiaotian was meditating, another soul was always paying attention to the surrounding situation, so the black-robed weirdo saw him thinking deeply and preparing. During the sneak attack, Lu Xiaotian had actually discovered the other party.
"Lu Xiaotian, what's going on?" As soon as the sound of fighting started to sound, Su Qing, Luo Qian, Xun Xiu and others rushed over. Although Lu Xiaotian could only exchange one move with the black-robed weirdo, Lu Xiaotian still alarmed everyone due to Lu Xiaotian's deliberate actions.
"We were attacked by a man in black robes, and he has already escaped." Lu Xiaotian's eyes swept across the people present. No matter whether it was the body shape or the breath, there was nothing similar to it. Those sinister eyes like snakes, even if No matter how well you hide it, a trace of suspicion may still appear.
“Oops, Song Hu!” Seeing that there was one missing person in the crowd, Lu Xiaotian’s expression suddenly changed and he hurried away in the direction of Song Hu’s patrol.
The expressions of everyone present changed greatly, and they all followed. A moment later, Song Hu's body fell in the bamboo forest. The blood was not dry, and there was a hole in his chest. His face was filled with pain, fear, and horror. The expressions are mixed together.
Not even the soul escaped, and the person who attacked was far stronger than Song Hu. A frightening thought flashed through the hearts of everyone present. What would happen if Song Hu appeared here instead of them? Song Hu was already at the first level of foundation building. He didn't even have the slightest resistance. He was killed without even making a cry. There were so many people present. Although there were many people who thought they were stronger than Song Hu, they were not arrogant. To the point where he could kill Song Hu silently in such a short period of time.
Luo Qian's eyes suddenly tightened when he looked at Lu Xiaotian. Song Hu was killed silently, which showed the strength of the enemy, but he was blocked by Lu Xiaotian. Maybe there was more than one enemy, but if it was just one, how could it be? Doesn’t it mean that he still seriously underestimated Lu Xiaotian’s strength?
"It seems that the person in charge of the night patrol at the back must be on guard together, otherwise the same thing may happen again." Xun Xiu shouted in a deep voice.
“We should send a message to the Immortal Palace as soon as possible to report our bizarre encounters here. First, we killed several disciples of the Eagle Feather Sect. Now we haven’t even figured out the number and strength of the enemy. The loss of Song Hu shows that the situation in the Western Yuan Kingdom is indeed very critical and may not be within our control," Lu Xiaotian said. "There are hundreds of secular countries controlled by Immortal Palace. There are already eight of us in the Western Yuan Kingdom. Unless a large number of enemies are discovered, it may be difficult for more people to support us in a short period of time." Xun Xiu shook his head and said.
Lu Xiaotian frowned. Although he felt that what Xun Xiu said was not very accurate, Xun Xiu was the person with the highest cultivation level and the oldest qualifications here. There is no use in talking too much under the circumstances. In this case, just be careful later.
"Wait, something is wrong." As soon as everyone was about to return to the temporary camp, they felt a strange aura appearing around them.
Lu Xiaotian used his spiritual eyes to look and saw a black mist coming from all directions in the distance of the bamboo forest. There was a faint rustling sound in the black mist. Even closer, you can already see a dense swarm of fist-sized black beetles on the ground, like cockroaches, crawling from a distance, almost without exhaustion.
“Lice!” Lu Xiaotian’s pupils shrank. This was probably the real culprit that caused the death of the ordinary villagers. But such a large number of lice could not be easily controlled by a cultivator?
Swish Lu Xiaotian waved his hand and smashed out dozens of small fireballs. The strength of these mang lice was only equivalent to the early to middle stage of Qi refining. Some of them were mature mang lice with wings and could fly into the air. , from this point of view, it may not be safe for Yu Jian to take off at this time.
Dozens of small fireballs exploded. With Lu Xiaotian’s strength at this time, even the low-level small fireball technique was not something that Mang Liao could easily withstand. What was unexpected was that after the small fireball exploded, although a piece of insect corpses seemed to be killed by the explosion, the number of insect corpses that rolled to the ground was not very large.
"Jie Jie, such a fast spell. This is the first time I have seen such a skill in magic." A strange and evil voice sounded, and soon, another sentence came out from the other party Words that make one’s hair stand on end, “But you are all going to die today!”
"We are pretending to be gods and ghosts, who will live and die?" Luo Qian snorted coldly, the grenade gun in his hand shook, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the gun in the direction of the sound.
Hey, wherever the electric light passed, the lice were thrashing and stopped moving. The bamboo forest shrouded in black mist in the distance exploded in the electric light.
"Jie Jie, it's useless. You are now the turtle in the urn. Obediently dedicate your flesh and blood to these lice of mine." At the same time as the electric light exploded, the voice appeared unsteadily in the completely opposite place. direction.
In the bamboo forest, there was a rustling sound, and a dozen figures jumped out, six or seven of them had black feathers on their heads, and they were monks from the Eagle Feather Sect. One of them was the one who escaped from their hands, and the other five were wearing blue Taoist uniforms with patterns embroidered on the purple and golden silkworms. These twelve people surrounded Lu Xiaotian and his group.
“Didn’t you say there were too many people before? What else can you say now?” One of the fierce-looking Eagle Feather Sect disciples was the one who had escaped from Su Qing and others before.
Su Qing, Wu Yan and others moved closer one after another. The opponent's number was almost twice as many as theirs. In addition, there was more and more black mist surrounding the bamboo forest. It was impossible to figure out what was going on further away.
"The situation in the bamboo forest is too weird, let's leave first." Luo Qian, with a gloomy expression on his face, suggested to Xun Xiu, Su Qing and others.
Lu Xiaotian had a vague feeling. Since the other party chose to set up an ambush here, they must have planned their escape method. They would not let them escape so easily. It was just that the opponent's manpower was on the ground at this time. There are too many, and staying is obviously not a good option. After thinking about it for a moment, he also controlled the earth-shattering knife to fly into the air, but the speed was inevitably a bit slower than the others.
Whoosh
There was a huge scream, and countless black giant arrows were shot from afar in all directions. There are huge spiritual pressure fluctuations on the giant arrow. Even the foundation-building monks can feel the powerful threat coming from above.
"Quickly, get back to the bamboo forest!" Xun Xiu was shocked when he saw this. He didn't dare to catch it with his bare hands anymore. He shouted quickly, took out a long spear, and shot away a giant arrow in front of him, but the spear was in front of him. The imposing giant arrow from above actually broke into pieces.
Looking at the dozens of giant arrows fired one after another, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a bluff. Is this really just a bluff? Another female disciple who was slightly closer to Luo Qian also used her spiritual sword to scatter a giant arrow, but she couldn't dodge and was shot directly in the waist by another one. Her whole body was broken into two pieces by the giant arrow in the air. It looked like Extremely miserable.
Another person was lost. Everyone in Lingxiao Palace who fell to the ground in a hurry looked ugly for a while, but there was no time for them to worry about the current situation. The twelve Southern Wilderness monks had already left the ground when they landed. They were surrounded and attacked from all sides.
Two monks who have built a foundation on the first floor and one who has built a foundation on the second floor are in trouble. Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He usually only tries to preserve his strength when his own side has the upper hand. In this dangerous situation, if Luo Qian and Wu Yan were all killed by the opponent, he would end up alone. Even with three heads and six arms, I am afraid it would be difficult to support it. In this situation, conserving strength too much would be a recipe for death. Besides, Ice Soul Xuanyin will only be effective for monks whose cultivation level is significantly different from his. For monks of the same level or even higher level, it can't be hidden and is of no use at all.
Of course, for the two foundation layers in front of us, the effect is immediate. The Eagle Feather Sect monk on the second floor of the Foundation Establishment slightly misplaced his jaw. Lu Xiaotian had already bypassed the Eagle Feather Sect monk on the second floor. Two Eagle Feather Sect disciples on the first level of Foundation Establishment circled their necks.
The disciple of the Eagle Feather Sect on the second floor of the Foundation Establishment felt bad after losing consciousness for a moment. He held a magic weapon and shot violently. At this time, one of his junior brothers and a junior sister had already fallen to the ground. Before he could react further, a large black ice seal crashed down from above his head
The Han Desolate Seal is an instant spell, and it uses the mana accumulated in the magic bead, so there is no need to use it for the time being. The mana in Lu Xiaotian's dantian will not dissipate until the mana in the magic bead is exhausted. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to taking over from a law cultivator of the same level as Lu Xiaotian.
