Chapter 54 Ice Soul Crystal, Assassination (will be updated tonight!)
Four to five late-stage Qi-training monks who trust each other and cooperate with each other tacitly, with the magic weapons, spells, and formations fully prepared, You can try to hunt down the monsters in the early and middle stages of the third level, but the success or failure is only 50-50, and you have to take great risks.
The difficulty for low-level monks to assassinate human monks at the foundation-building level is often higher, not lower. Although human monks are relatively fragile physically, they have wisdom and spiritual consciousness that is sharper than monsters. The most terrifying thing is They can use magic weapons.
A human monk wearing a high-level defensive robe, his physical defense is not much worse than that of a monster beast.
Chen Tianxiong, who has been a late-stage foundation-building monk for more than a hundred years and is also in charge of the great elder authority of the Swordsmanship Hall, said that he did not have a good defensive weapon. None of the three people present would believe it.
Therefore, ambush and assassination were just the basics, mechanisms, and poisoning. The three of them discussed all the methods that could fully weaken Chen Tianxiong's combat power.
We have been talking like this for an hour, but the arrangements have not yet been made clear. At this time, the sword hall in front of us has finished class, and Lu Cheng, Liu Baihong, and Lin Qingyue can only meet to continue the discussion another day.
"Sister, what does Master Lin want to see you for?"
In the carriage of Lin's shopping mall, Lin Qingxue asked her sister curiously.
"Zhaizhu Lin said that you are emotionally attached to swordplay during this period. Qingxue, sister will take care of her own affairs. The skills you have learned will always be your own." Lin Qingyue caressed her gently. Of course, my sister’s sideburns would not tell her the truth.
In the next half month, the three of them were busy arranging the killing plan.
There was just an episode in Lucheng. One morning, when the Taoist got up, he unexpectedly found a biting ice stone in his hand.
Looking at the snow falling outside, Lu Cheng looked at the ice stone in his hand.
"The cold energy of this thing condenses, and it will cause chills all over the body when touched. It must be a rare treasure that does not melt or melt. Where did it come from?"
If you cultivate the state of mind of stilling water, even if you have the state of mind of stilling water, It is not difficult for a Foundation Establishment monk to kill him in a surprise attack, but it is almost impossible to get close to him silently, not to mention that the statue of the Red Heart God placed in the room does not react at all.
In Chijun's domain, it is almost impossible for monks below Ningsha to approach him like this.
“Nine Li Ding?”
After much thinking, Lu Cheng only thought of this possibility:
While he was sleeping peacefully, a ball of golden light flew out of his body , the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu appeared, biting an ice stone in its mouth, and placed it in his hand.
In order to verify his conjecture, Lu Cheng first looked through the books and classics at home, and then felt that he was not sure, so he took the ice stone to Fangshi in the Nightless City.
Fangshi, Liujin Ancient Ware Shop.
“This object is an ice soul crystal! It is a fifth-level weapon refining material. If we can find a real person who practices ice-attribute skills, this treasure can be sold for a high price of tens of thousands of spirit stones. How about it? Mr. Lin Zhai, can this object be put up for auction at our Liujin Ancient Artifact Shop? We can give it to Mr. Lin now. Take 10,000 spirit stones first, and the remaining fees will be settled after the treasure is sold."
"Oh, no, how much is the appraisal fee?"
"Hey, Lin Zhai. This is my first time doing business, so I won’t do it this time,” the owner of the shop said with great dignity.
When Lu Cheng came out of the Liujin Ancient Artifact Workshop, he connected the cause and effect in his mind, and he probably knew what was going on.
"The Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu can actually bring out things from the Nine Li Cauldron? The fifth-level weapon refining materials are worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, but it seems that I have to achieve a certain degree of intimacy with the creatures contained in the cauldron. I even summoned the fire dragon No way out."
He knew that there were countless secrets waiting for him to explore in Jiuli Ding, but Lu Cheng still forced himself to calm down after returning to Wenjianzhai.
Because the matter of Chen Tianxiong cannot be solved, all the secrets hidden in Jiuli Ding can only wait for future generations to explore.
Half a month later, Chen Mansion, the main swordsmanship hall.
“Tengjiao is still in confinement these days?”
A majestic old man with white hair and white beard, a lion's mouth and a broad nose, asked the butler beside him while wearing a robe under the service of a beautiful maid.
"Yes, the young master has thought deeply about it during this period. According to the old slave, he has indeed repented seriously."
"Well, you can release him in a while. . Tell him that it’s not terrible to lose. What’s terrible is that you can’t afford to lose. You can lose many times in your life, but in If you win for the last time, you will win.”
After all, Chen Tianxiong still values his adopted son very much. Although what Chen Tengjiao did this time has damaged the Chen family’s prestige in the major sword halls, On the contrary, it improved the reputation of Wenjianzhai, but in Chen Tianxiong's view, this was only a small defeat.
As long as he obtains pure true yin through dual cultivation and activates his potential to cultivate the magic power of the Ningsha Realm, he can truly be promoted to the top of the Evernight City, from a chess piece to a chess player. At that time, Chen Tengjiao can still lose countless times. Just win once.
"Master, don't worry. Chen Fu will definitely advise the young master so that he can learn his lesson and not be discouraged. The most important thing for the master now is to win the heart of Miss Qingyue. Chen Fu will take care of the family affairs for the master. . ”
“Yes. ”
At this time, Chen Tianxiong has changed into his robe under the service of the maid.
“The master is majestic and heroic, truly a born hero.”
“This time Miss Qingyue invited the master to have a cup of tea and talk. It seems that she has changed her mind. Chen Fuxian is here to congratulate her. Master.”
Both the personal maid and the confidant butler said so. Chen Tianxiong was also very happy, but he waved his hands and said:
"It is difficult to practice as a casual cultivator, to practice Qi, to build the foundation, and every step has to be difficult. I have gone through it on my own. After I have mastered the method of condensing evil spirit, I will go out to find the magic formula for condensing evil spirit and find a method suitable for me. Evil spirit, but... everything is difficult, and mortals also have to endure disasters if they want to survive. How can a cultivator hope that everything will go smoothly for him despite life and death?
Boarding on the carriage, Chen Tianxiong sat on the carriage with his eyes closed and thinking.
Lin Qingyue's surrender was expected. This person seemed strong but was actually weak. What's more, she cared about her sister. If anyone cared, there would be flaws.
Lin Qingyue can neither give up her current position of power, betray the Lin family, nor sacrifice her sister Lin Qingxue, so she can only succumb to herself.
"When I cultivate the Ningsha magic power, I will treat her well and use more mental resources to make up for the damage to her foundation."
"Master, I have arrived."
About a month After Zhu Xiang's time, such a voice came from outside the carriage.
Chen Tianxiong stepped out of the carriage and looked up: South Tower.
This is not the most aura location in the city that never sleeps, but it is close to Yamagata, where you can enjoy mountain flowers in spring and snow in winter. It is also an excellent pavilion.
Lin Qingyue, who has considerable status and wealth, bought this place to enjoy the scenery. This is not the first time for Chen Tianxiong to come.
Of course, it was in the name of visiting friends and playing chess.
Entering the south building, you can hear bursts of sweet piano music.
When Chen Tianxiong came to the third floor of Nuange, he could see a woman in purple playing the piano behind a colorful phoenix screen, with an elegant posture and a beautiful sound.
Chen Tianxiong turned around the screen in the front hall and saw Lin Qingyue in a purple skirt playing the piano:
The mountains are snowing outside the window, and the warm and fragrant beauties in the Nuang Pavilion are very charming.
After the song ended, Lin Qingyue held down the piano and raised her head.
"Elder Chen, you are here. I'm sorry. I was so absorbed in the moment that Qingyue neglected me."
"As for Qingyue, being able to watch Qingyue playing the piano is also a great pleasure in life. Why? Come and neglect."
At this time, a maid came forward, took down the musical instrument, replaced it with a chessboard covered with gauze, and prepared a small jade pot.
"Okay, you all go down."
"Qingyue has been thinking about this endgame these days, and it seems to be broken. Elder Chen, please."
"Oh, this game Can there be any clues? Then I’ll just wait for Qingyue to open my eyes, hahahaha "
Chen Tianxiong has lived one hundred and eighty years longer than Lin Qingyue, and his chess skills are not comparable to Lin Qingyue's. In his opinion, this game of chess is already a dead end, but he can just drink with the beauty. Playing chess is a joy in life, especially playing chess with the beauty you haven't found yet.
At this moment, Lu Cheng is hidden in Lin Qingyue's boudoir on the fourth floor, behind a forbidden screen, and Liu Baihong is hidden on the third floor, where Chen Tianxiong and Lin Qingyue are at this time. .
He used all his strength to use the mental technique of "Xin Ru Zhishui", hiding and accumulating his own murderous intention and murderous aura, waiting for Liu Baihong to give the signal to take action.
Liu Baihong has been a killer since he was a boy. Over the past few decades, he has always been sure to kill, but at least he has survived until now.
He even made a deal with the Elders of the Nightless City, personally destroyed his own organization, and gained the status of walking in the light.
This time, Lu Cheng learned a lot from Liu Baihong.
For example, the stronger the poison, the better. Many old guys who have been practicing for decades or hundreds of years are extremely experienced. They may be aware of poisons you have never heard of, so many times It would be better if the poison was not so severe, but it should be colorless and odorless so that no one would notice it.
In addition, when killing a man, choose a woman he likes to drink with him, then no matter how cautious the man is, he will drink most of the time, just like this moment.
The jade wrist holds the child in black and white, and the mellow wine is fragrant when cooked in the warm stove.
Lin Qingyue poured herself a glass as if inadvertently, then she poured another glass for Chen Tianxiong, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Smelling the warm wine with the strong orchid aroma, Chen Tianxiong frowned slightly, because wine like this could easily cover up the smell of medicine. He usually did not drink it, but today he looked at the skin-like person in front of him. A girl in a purple dress who is smooth and delicate.
Chen Tianxiong raised his green wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Meridian Damage and Stagnant Spirit Powder is not a fatal poison, but it will damage the meridians and sluggish the magic power in the monk's body.
Toxic penetration will damage the monk's foundation to a certain extent, but it can be made up for, so Lin Qingyue accepted it. She is good at business and is good at making choices.
"Qingyue, when it comes to giving up, give up, your game of chess has fallen into a dead end."
"But it may not be possible, have you never heard of the art of surviving in death?"
< br>While speaking, Lin Qingyue dropped a piece heavily in the center of the chessboard.
Snap.
An iron pill fell with it and flew towards Chen Tianxiong with great force from behind.
Following them was a sword-wielding man dressed in black, swung his sword to break the screen, and attacked with his sword.
“Huh.”
Lu Cheng on the fourth floor waved his hand to put away the forbidden screen in front of him, then turned over and fell, climbing in through the wooden window on the third floor. He raised his hand and shot an iron pill at the girl in the purple skirt.
A third-level disposable magic weapon, the Fire Thunder Bead!
“Assassin?”
Chen Tianxiong seemed to have discovered the assassin earlier than Lin Qingyue.
He suddenly stretched out his palm and pressed it towards Lin Qingyue in front of him, and threw her to the side.
Boom, boom!
The two fire thunder beads exploded almost simultaneously.
The blazing dark red fire can instantly injure or even directly kill even a third-level monster.
However, arrays of Dao patterns, talismans and seals appeared on Chen Tianxiong's body, and at the same time, the body-protecting mana burst out from his body. Through the transformation of the Taoist robes he wore, it sent out a tsunami like thousands of waves crashing on the shore and rolling into the sky. The roaring sound condensed dozens or hundreds of golden sword energy, forming an indiscriminate and rapid attack on everything around it.
This is the third-level defensive magic weapon: the Seven-Roading Spirit Sword Robe. When the person wearing this robe is attacked, the body-protecting mana in the recipient's body bursts out like a stormy sea. The robe transforms into a combination of offense and defense, and the killing force is enough to cause all attackers within the range to be chopped into pieces.
At the same time, use offense as defense. No matter how violent and violent the attack is, it will be smashed and cut by the attack of the Seven Imperial Spirit Swords, making it difficult to gain momentum.
"Is it poisonous in the wine? Or is it the burning incense around?"
While protecting Lin Qingyue, Chen Tianxiong retreated hastily. At this moment, Chen Tianxiong already felt the obscure and difficult movement of magic power in his body.
But Lin Qingyue's magic qualifications are better than Lin Qingxue's, not to mention that she is the daughter of the main line of the Lin family. Before he is sure that there is something wrong with her, Chen Tianxiong does not even think about his own path. Dare to use Lin Qingyue to block the knife for himself. Lu Cheng and Liu Baihong, who were all dressed in black, looked at each other, and then both of them used their strongest killing swords.
A white rainbow penetrates the sun!
Liu Baihong flew up and merged with the sword light, turning into a white rainbow piercing the sun and fiercely stabbing Chen Tianxiong.
Lu Cheng patted his Qiankun Bag first, and two bolts of lightning flew out from it. They were the Thunder Hammer and the Lightning Cone. The two magic weapons struck each other violently, knocking out several surrounding objects. The thunder ball was evacuated, and then suddenly blasted out a fierce electric snake.
These two magical weapons have not been used for a long time, but they are not gone. A monk can probably control three magical weapons of the same level at the same time, one red flame sword, two thunder hammers and lightning female cones.
Immediately, in Chen Tianxiong’s eyes, Lu Cheng’s sword-wielding figure seemed to turn into seven paths in an instant, and then the seven paths merged into one, merging with the spiritual flames spurting from the Red Flame Flying Sword, and suddenly slashed out with concentrated sword power. A sword flash.
Meteor from the sky!
This killing sword, which was fused with some of Bai Hong Guanri's skills, was actually stronger and faster than Liu Baihong's sword light. The one who struck last came first, but the one who struck last almost hit Chen Tianxiong first.
“What a wonderful swordsmanship!”
Even if the two people in front of me are here to kill you.
As a famous swordsman from the main swordsmanship hall, Chen Tianxiong couldn't help but admire in his heart at this moment.
Liu Baihong has already been recognized, and the other person is probably Lin Lie, the master of Wenjian Zhai whom Tengjiao wants to kill!
With such swordsmanship and ruthlessness, no wonder his stupid son couldn't fight him.
“It’s okay, I’ll kill you right here, and it will relieve Jiao’er’s worries.”
Clang, Cang, bang.
Both of them were powerful killing swords, but they were blocked by the air wall that Chen Tianxiong swung with his bare hands.
At the same time, there was an additional lightning bolt, which exploded with a muffled sound.
It was at this moment that a piece of white jade hanging on Chen Tianxiong's waist suddenly cracked.
"...the sword intention becomes powerful and attacks the mind!? You two have actually mastered it, so you can't let it go!"
The piece of white jade on Chen Tianxiong's waist is the Qingxin Jade Pendant , is also a third-level defensive weapon, but it is mainly used to defend against illusions and inner demons, and it has been destroyed at this moment.
With Chen Tianxiong's fierce movement of magic power, Lu Cheng and Liu Baihong both raised their swords and retreated quickly. In the process, their respective flying swords screamed endlessly and lost their strength.
But while flying back, the two of them fired two iron pellets at the same time, of course they were fire thunder beads. If this kind of killing weapon is not used in such a fatal situation, should it be left to the other party?
Chen Tianxiong cursed secretly when he saw this, and moved his golden spiritual sword around to prepare for defense.
But at this moment, the purple-clothed girl who had been protecting him flew back quickly, raised her hand and threw the fifth fire ball.
Disregarding other things, the cost of this battle alone is more than 10,000 spiritual stones. Moreover, there is a spirit stone in the Fire Thunder Bead, but it may not be possible to buy it.
Boom, boom, boom.
The Seven Yuling Sword Robe is indeed a protective magical weapon that Chen Tianxiong bought at a huge price back then. It carried five fire thunder beads to protect its master from death.
Under the huge destruction, the third floor of Nuange collapsed directly.
All four fell down.
Lu Cheng, Liu Baihong, and Lin Qingyue all flew down. Only Chen Tianxiong, who was just at the center of the explosion of three fire thunder beads, was shattered all over, his beard and hair were on fire, and he fell heavily on the ground. Ground.
"...Why?"
"Qingyue, I clearly love you, why do you want to"
"Haha, treat me with all your heart? You are older than my great-great-grandfather. I really thank you for your all-in love."
With a hand in hand, Lin Qingyue waved her flying sword, and Lin Qingyue was the first to greet her. Chen Tianxiong rushed away.
The flying sword she launched was like ice-cold white jade, carrying a power that chilled the mind, and the sword path was majestic and majestic.
The Lin family's magical method of transforming spirits is passed on to men but not to women. This set of miraculous skills can even be passed on to outsiders, but not to women of the Lin family.
Because as long as you practice this heaven-conquering spirit-transforming method and seize other people's mana, your mana will inevitably be mixed and impure. If you don't practice the Lin family's Five Palaces Forging Elements, it is almost impossible to advance to the foundation building.
The Burning Wood Mountain Forester can use this to coerce practitioners to gain a lot of benefits.
But if a woman from the Lin family practices the art of seizing heaven and transforming spirits, but cannot bring great benefits to the family and cannot be promoted to the art, then she will definitely feel resentful.
Therefore, the women of the Lin family practice other techniques. For example, Lin Qingyue practices the Taiyin Moon Condensation Technique.
It can be regarded as opening up a new legal lineage for the Lin family and increasing their heritage.
If this skill is passed down completely, it will not be inferior to the core skills of the Lin family. However, what the Lin family possesses is probably only a copy of the fragments, and there are few senior Taoist friends who can give advice and discuss the skills during the practice process. His understanding is inevitably inferior to that of monks of the same level.
"Be careful!"
Lin Qingyue's mana cultivation is inferior to that of Lu Cheng and Liu Baihong. At this moment, she took the Pulse Damage and Stagnant Spirit Powder, and her mana has been knocked down to the middle stage of Qi training.
When stabbing with a sword, the power of the sword is scattered and difficult to condense.
Originally, it would have been fine if Chen Tianxiong had been seriously injured by the fire thunder bead. The tiger fell flat and was bullied by the dog.
However, Lu Cheng keenly noticed that Chen Tianxiong was covered in blood and fire, but the damaged wound on his body was faintly covered with a layer of golden light.
"Third-level defensive spell!"
This thought flashed through his mind. Both Lu Cheng and Liu Baihong used sword light to attack at close range.
The closer the distance, the stronger the sword power and the more agile the sword control. This is true even for monks in the Qi training realm who have not condensed their spiritual consciousness. Facing Chen Tianxiong in the late stage of foundation building, both of them attacked with life-threatening attacks.
“Photograph!”
Chen Tianxiong, who seemed to be seriously injured, suddenly stood up from the ground and waved his claws. The blood all over his body suddenly condensed on his right hand and turned into a ferocious blood claw, which was grasped by Lin Qingyue's flying sword.
Under the strong grip of the claws, the flying sword screamed and split every inch.
At the same time, Chen Tianxiong's figure spread out the blood mist and fled quickly towards Lin Qingyue. It was unclear whether he wanted to take the other party as a hostage, or whether he wanted to die with her.
On the side, Liu Baihong's movement became faster and his sword became more fierce. It was obvious that if Chen Tianxiong wanted to take Lin Qingyue as a hostage, his sword would not be delayed even half a minute because of this.
But as Lu Cheng Yujian followed closely, he felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness in his heart:
“This Chen Tianxiong doesn’t feel like someone who will die with others! ”
"Moreover, he recognized Liu Baihong."
These two thoughts flashed through Lu Cheng's mind. The next moment, the pulse-breaking sword energy in Lu Cheng's body was activated regardless of his own body. Lu Chengyu's Red Flame Sword carried stronger sword power, and its sword speed surpassed Liu Baihong's Baihong Sword.
At the next moment, Chen Tianxiong, who seemed to be about to kill Lin Qingyue, suddenly turned around and threw an object.
It was a blue-white iron pill, exuding a dangerous aura: Fire Thunder Bead.
This thing is not so easy to buy. Who would have thought that six of them would appear here today. It can only be said that the city that never sleeps is indeed a developed business and almost gathers the essence of southern Xinjiang.
Seeing this object, Liu Baihong's expression changed drastically. Chen Tianxiong was able to withstand five fire thunder beads with the help of the third-level defensive magic weapon charm. He and others would be dead if they were hit by one, and even the protective magic weapon could not stop it. Chen Tianxiong is indeed old and fierce. At this juncture, he is still trying to find a way out.
As long as Lu Cheng and Liu Baihong are dead or injured, why should he kill Lin Qingyue again and use this matter as a threat? From now on, these Lin family sisters will be his personal favorites in the house, and even the Lin family in Ranmu Mountain will not Will say more.
But at this moment, a golden sword light shot out across Liu Baihong. With a clang, it turned into a thorn and rolled up the fire thunder bead and suddenly deflected.
Boom.
The fire thunder bead exploded, and the red flying sword was blown far away and was obviously seriously damaged.
But at this moment, Chen Tianxiong, who was seriously injured, no longer had the strength to block Liu Baihong's flying sword. His sword penetrated his chest, and he flew backwards, being bombarded by the sword energy in his body.
“Ahhhhh!”
The old man was bleeding from his mouth and nose, like an angry lion, and he was still urging his magic power to fight back.
But at this moment, Lu Cheng flew up and jumped over Liu Baihong's figure. Using the broken pulse sword energy in his body that was running to the extreme, he turned around and struck Chen Tianxiong on the forehead.
Monks in the late stage of foundation building are also human beings, and Chen Tianxiong is not a physical practitioner. At this moment, he finally lost his vitality and was completely lifeless.
"Huh..."
Bang.
The sound of a corpse falling to the ground.
"Haha, Brother Lin, we say goodbye this time, and the next time we meet will be when I build the foundation." He stepped forward and quickly dealt with the scene with his sword, picked up Chen Tianxiong's Qiankun Ring and threw it to Lu Cheng, and then Liu Bai Hong used Chen Tianxiong's blood to write on the wall:
"The murderer Liu Baihong" in six big characters, completely cutting off his own escape route.
Then he quickly jumped out of the window and disappeared without a trace without saying another unnecessary word.
"Give me a sword and hit it harder. Hurry up, even if there is a soundproof circle, the servants downstairs will come up quickly after being frightened."
The three of them have already We have discussed how to deal with the aftermath and how to get away with it.
So a girl in a purple gauze skirt came to Lu Cheng, nervous but still calm.
Lu Cheng used his magic power to retrieve the heavily damaged Red Flame Flying Sword, and then after some calculation, he struck Lin Qingyue in the back with his sword. He struck fiercely, and the sword hit the vital part.
"Don't move around. This sword cuts close to the heart. If you move around and bleed too much, you will really die."
At this time, the servants on the first floor had already recovered from the huge explosion and After the initial panic, he gradually came to his senses and began to run out screaming, or try to go upstairs to investigate the situation.
Fortunately, this is Lin Qingyue's private residence. Otherwise, there would even be low-level monks among the servants, and their reactions and responses would be faster than theirs.
After doing all this, Lu Cheng took Chen Tianxiong’s Qiankun Ring and escaped from the window along the route Liu Baihong had chosen in advance.
He turned around a few times and returned to Wenjianzhai, keeping the rest secret.
Liu Baihong will escape to the mortal area. According to him, as long as he gets there, even if the Liangang monk turns the entire sleepless city upside down, he will never be able to find him again.
Running in the night wind, looking back, watching the south tower gradually burning, gradually being gathered by many monks to extinguish the fire and rescue.
Lu Cheng knew the danger in his heart, but he could not help but be enveloped by a sense of freedom and joy:
Walking alone with a sword, he was happy to take revenge.
This is the life that I used to long for and look forward to in my heart. Test the sword in the world, who else can I do?
