The dark swarm of insects crashed against the stone pillars like a forest like heavy iron cannons, buzzing loudly and scattering in all directions.

Deep in the mountains and deep valleys, the forest stone pillars themselves are a maze formation. Of course, the insect swarm does not have enough intelligence to break the formation, but it is like the overflowing sea water, rushing past, and there is no need to break it? Flooding the entire formation with sheer numbers is not enough

That’s it.

Even Gan Wenzhe's response to Zhang Chuanling's hundreds of puppets was the same. Zhang Chuanling relied on his hundreds of puppets to dominate the crowd, but her puppets could not be more powerful than Gan Wenzhe's spirit worms. In this way, the advantage would no longer be an advantage.

Looking down, Gan Wenzhe, who has a huge head and a thin body, seems to be a source of pollution. With his body as the center, a large number of dense spiritual insects spread out like sewage, eroding the formation.

During this process, Zhang Chuanling saw that the situation was not right, so of course she resisted with all her strength. She herself used a fourth-level mid-grade flying sword, and the puppet archers around her also collectively shot a dense rain of arrows that contained spiritual light, but the black insects

The tide surged like a wave, sweeping with Gan Wenzhe's body as the center, swallowing up all the arrows from the puppet archer.

At the same time, Gan Wenzhe also used his remaining arm to slap the Qiankun bag on his waist and used a fourth-level mid-grade flying sword to resist Zhang Chuanling's own flying sword assassination.

Cultivating a large number of spiritual insects and beasts, although it helps a lot in the battle, is also very expensive. In addition, in the sect wars in the past few years, Gan Wenzhe lost some commonly used magic weapons, but now he can still use one more

A fourth-level middle-grade flying sword is already quite wealthy.

Clang, Clang Clang Clang.

The two flying swords circled and intertwined, stabbing and colliding with each other.

Zhang Chuanling's swordsmanship can only be called average, while Gan Wenzhe's swordsmanship can be called superb.

Sword power, sword speed, changes in sword moves, and more experience in sword fighting, the swords of both sides circled and fought for less than twenty rounds. Gan Wenzhe's sword used a flaw and successfully lured Zhang Chuanling's sword to rush in.

, and the next moment, Gan Wenzhe's sword light whirled sharply, and struck the side where the sword power could not reach.

The aura of the flying sword was instantly damaged. Although it could still be sustained, the sword's power and speed were even less than those of the opponent.

Zhang Chuanling did not want to be cut off by the opponent's flying sword, so he recalled him. Gan Wenzhe's sword light wanted to continue chasing, but was blocked by the rain of light gold arrows and the white beam of light, so he withdrew.

"Niece Xian, this is the end of the matter. Your defeat has been determined. If you don't want to lose more, you should admit defeat as soon as possible."

Although he said such words in his mouth, Gan Wenzhe did not stop performing the spell in his hands, constantly controlling the impact of the insect tide.

Although it is within the illusion formation, it is the main battlefield.

However, Zhang Chuanling was forced to retreat step by step. At this time, several of the puppet groups under his control had been submerged and devoured by the insect tide.

Facing this huge influx of insects, the puppet archers and puppet giant sword swordsmen were almost useless. Only a few tiger and leopard puppets could spit fire and cold air, which were slightly useful in this situation.

In order to protect the formation, Zhang Chuanling cast several fire wall-like spells to block the attack, because if the stone forest formation was not protected, Gan Wenzhe could directly attack him, instead of like now, where he had an advantage but could never turn it into a victory.

But the magic talisman was not bad. Zhang Chuanling's own spiritual consciousness and mana were limited. After casting several talismans, he soon became extremely tired. However, there was no fear in her eyes. If Gan Wenzhe could cross the stone formation,

If you notice her mood, you may be more vigilant.

Outside the Thousand Machines Diagram, the monks of the Gan family were certainly at a loss. From their perspective, they saw only their ancestor and the senior cultivator of the Zhang family's Purple Mansion disappearing at the same time in an instant.

But in the eyes of Zhang Xiangshen and Zhang Lie, they still had a clear understanding of this battle and were not affected by it.

"I was talking about how Gan Wenzhe cracked the Great Five Elements Sword Qi of Life and Death. It turned out that he used insects to eat his body and transformed part of his body into spiritual insects. Although this would have endless consequences, his own lifespan is already running out, so it doesn't matter.

, it will not be able to withstand the backlash when it comes."

"Ling'er's fighting style is like setting up a chess game in advance and inviting people to join the game. In this way, even people with far greater chess and magic power than her may lose to her. But Gan Wenzhe's strength

It suppresses people and just restrains Ling'er's fighting style, but his fate is too poor and his energy is not enough..."

Regarding Zhang Xiangshen's comments, Zhang Lie stood aside and didn't say much.

But he also recognized one thing, that is, the ancestor of the Gan family did have limited energy. He was not good at anything, but he was good at repelling spiritual insects. He also used insects to eat his body to make up for his lack of body functions. This made him

It also gradually took on some characteristics of spiritual insects.

At the same time, the ancestor of the Gan family, who had the upper hand in the situation within the Thousand Machines Illusion Array, began to feel inexplicably fearful and panicked, as if some natural enemy appeared nearby and he was going to die in the next moment.

.

But looking around, Gan Wenzhe really didn't see the source of the danger. What's more, he had already forced Zhang Chuanling into a blind corner at this moment. As long as he worked harder, he could completely defeat the opponent and gain great benefits for the Gan family.

However, at this moment, Zhang Chuanling, who had been forced into the corner of the huge chessboard, stood up with both hands, and his eyes almost burned with cyan flames. This was a manifestation of his mana being pushed to the extreme.

"Niece Xian, you..."

Gan Wenzhe wanted to continue saying something to save some energy, not to make the situation too ugly, and to save some face for the monks of the Zhang family.

But at this moment, the huge sense of life threat came again. This time, Gan Wenzhe felt as if an extremely sharp ax was whizzing in front of his eyes.

"No, there must be an ambush. The world is infinite, the universe borrows methods, and the illusory formation is broken!"

This time, Gan Wenzhe was no longer stingy and directly consumed a fourth-level illusion-breaking talisman. The higher the level of consumables such as spiritual talismans, the more the value changes by leaps and bounds. First- and second-level monks use more spiritual talismans, which may just be due to their rich wealth.

, and starting from the fourth-level spiritual talismans, some are more similar to the family and sect's heritage, and cannot be used easily.

The power of the fourth-level talisman, coupled with Gan Wenzhe's own magic power, worked together, causing the entire space in the Thousand Machine Diagram to be forcibly broken open for an instant.

And it was at this moment that Gan Wenzhe sensed the direction of the danger through Qi induction: "Overhead!"

He suddenly looked up, and the next moment the ancestor of the Gan family's pupils expanded sharply, because a huge black spider had already climbed in the center of the snow-white spider web, staring at it with terrifying blood-colored compound eyes.

on oneself.

"Mid-level fourth-order black-blooded spider, how is this possible?"

Of course Gan Wenzhe couldn't believe that the Zhang Chuanling in front of him was in the early stages of the Purple Mansion. Not many years after his promotion, he was able to master the fourth-level high-grade magic weapon Thousand Machines Diagram to the current level. He was already diligent and hardworking. How could she possibly subdue him?

A monster with a notorious reputation like the Black Blood Spider!?

Insect-like monsters have strong vitality and strong bodies, but they often have low intelligence and cruel nature. Let alone the monk Zhang Chuanling in the past, I have never heard that she majored in beast control and insect repellent. Even if she majored in beast control and insect repellent,

For cultivators of insect Taoism, it is best to cultivate demonic insects such as black-blooded spiders from an early age, so that they can be relatively safe.

But no matter how unwilling or disbelieving it was, it was useless. When Gan Wenzhe finished breaking the illusion, he found that not only the top of his head, but also his feet were covered with white spider webs from unknown time.

The Black Blood Spider's escape speed is not extremely fast, but within the scope of its spider web, the escape speeds of both parties wax and wane. Once trapped, there is normally no hope of escaping.

"Did she use illusions to interfere with my perception? She made me walk into the spider web, but I never noticed it."

When the black-blooded spider pounced from the shadow above his head, Gan Wenzhe finally figured out what happened. The Thousand Planes Diagram itself had the effect of assisting in increasing the power of the monks' illusions. The Thousand Planes Illusion Array itself was between reality and illusion.

.

"In this case, I won't lose unjustly."

Although he thought so in his mind, the spirit insects around Gan Wenzhe still flew together and formed a heavy-armored giant ax on his body. Then Gan Wenzhe raised the giant blade high and faced the falling giant demon spider without fear.

, this is the last dignity of being a high-ranking monk.

In front of a junior like Zhang Chuanling, Gan Wenzhe, who has been practicing Taoism all his life, does not allow himself to lose without a fight.

Of the three battles, the battle between Gan Wenzhe and Zhang Chuanling was the longest. It took a full day and night for the Thousand Machines Illusion Formation to be lifted.

Gan Wenzhe withdrew with a normal expression. He lost an arm and saluted the Zhang family monks with one hand, thinking that he was defeated.

In contrast, Zhang Chuanling's whole body was unscathed, but her eyes were bloodshot, making people feel that blood would flow out of her eyes at the next moment. She also looked extremely tired, her face was ashen, and she was wearing a green dress.

Although there is no big change in the figure under the Taoist robe, it gives people the feeling of being overstretched. I feel pity for him when he is on the verge of collapse.

When Zhang Chuanling flew back to the monks of the Zhang family, he fainted in the middle of the flight as soon as his eyes rolled back. Zhang Lie frowned slightly when he saw this, and he flashed to catch the falling Zhang Chuanling.

"Yuan Lie, this Gan Wenzhe is so scary! When I fought with him, I felt like I was going to lose all the time. No, as long as he persisted for a while, I would lose. No, I felt like I didn't win at all.

he."

Hearing this murmur that sounded like babble, Zhang Lie frowned again. It was obvious that this time Zhang Chuanling was lucky enough to win, but his anger was suppressed. Fortunately, the black-blooded spider had just been slashed by many swords by the Sky Eye Blade.

He is still in a relatively peaceful state, otherwise Zhang Chuanling's current state will definitely be counterattacked.

"Don't be intimidated by him. He just lost to you. It's just that this old ghost is experienced and he's just bluffing you. In fact, his injuries are much heavier than yours. He just lost his energy to hold himself up."

, to prevent the morale of the Gan family monks from falling too much."

"Check your black-blooded spider when you get back. I don't even need to look at it to know that it must be in a very docile state now - because it's full."

Controlled by Zhang Lie with a spiritual energy beam, floating next to Zhang Lie, Zhang Chuanling closed his eyes and murmured with great peace of mind:

"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved."

After this battle, there was finally no doubt about the ownership of the fourth-level elixir Canglan Grass, and the Gan family had indeed tried their best. Zhang Chuanling was assisted by a mid-level fourth-level black-blooded spider, majoring in exorcism.

Gan Wenzhe of the Insect Technique lost to her, no one could say anything more about it, and the Gan family finally had an explanation.

But in this case, if those Zifu monks who practice water magic in Danyang Palace want to share the Canglan Water Pill, they will either have made great contributions to the sect or owe a lot of favor to the Zhang family.

The higher the level of the monk, the more difficult it is to repay this kind of debt.

Many times we have to block the road and even risk our lives to pay for it.

After the incident here, Zhang Lie said goodbye to everyone in the Zhang family for the time being and went to Hanshan County to visit his teacher, Zhenjun Xiaoshan.

The Red Lotus Cave Mansion has been burned by the calamity fire, but he has lived in Hanshan County for too many years, and Xiao Shan is notorious among the hundreds of sects in the Southern Wilderness. Only in Hanshan County, his reputation is better, because he directly blessed this place.

For hundreds of years, everyone in the world could call him the True Lord of Xiaoshan, but the mortals in Hanshan County regarded him as a god, even though he might be a demon god.

Arriving at Master Xiao's newly established cave in Hanshan County, the gatekeeper disciples saw Zhang Lie and came up to him directly, and said politely:

"Senior Brother Fourteenth, the teacher has told me in advance that if you come to see me, you can go directly into the cave without passing through."

"Oh? Got it, thanks for letting me know."

Zhang Lie casually threw a bottle of low-level elixir he had refined over, then took out the token to respond to the cave's restrictions and flew straight in.
