With a "bang", a broken human body flew upside down and did not stop until it hit the wall.

In the distance, Lu Zhong called back the Shining Golden Sword with an expressionless face and continued to direct his men to move forward.

The old and new waterways of Yongling City are intertwined, which is definitely complex, but it does not mean that there are no traces. It can be divided into three main drainage outlets and seven water inlets. No matter how winding the other branches are, they are always

To connect to these ten places.

And now he is responsible for a water inlet.

Just keep clearing along the route map to eliminate the coalition monks entrenched in the waterway.

As for the Dark Scythe Rat and the Moon-Watching Toad, those are the goals for the next stage.

"In less than an hour, we have already encountered three waves of coalition monks. It seems that there are quite a lot of rats hidden in the sewers." Lu Zhong followed the crowd and thought silently.

Needless to say, the coalition monks must have realized that the Heling Sect had already launched a massacre against them, so they began to take action, so the subsequent fighting would become even more brutal.

At this time, a killing cry suddenly came from the front left.

"Senior Brother Lu, we encountered a Luo Yun Sect monk in the late stage of Qi Refining, please take action!" An outer disciple rushed over panting, with several blood marks on his body and a rather tired look.

"Okay." Lu Zhong nodded.

Summoning the spiritual wind, the whole person's speed suddenly increased greatly.

After a while, he came to an underground hall.

You can see a Luoyun Sect monk wearing a blue robe, being surrounded by ten Heling Sect disciples in a combined attack formation. At this moment, he is constantly launching attacks, trying to break through the encirclement.

Seeing Lu Zhong's arrival, the Luoyun Sect monks stepped up their attack.

But before he could take action several times, Lu Zhong's shining golden sword had already struck.

"Qiang!" A burst of sparks flew everywhere.

After a collision, the two treasures in the air flew upside down.

Seeing the appearance of the man surrounded, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He was actually a Talisman Maker who lived in Qingliufang in the past and had organized a Talisman Maker Mutual Aid Association.

There was a time when the other party's cultivation level was higher than his.

But now, both of them are at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and they stand on the same level.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's you!"

Chen Shaoyan panted heavily, his eyes fell on Lu Zhong who was walking slowly, his expression gradually became serious, and he looked at the shining gold sword that was ignited with blazing flames, and became even more fearful.

The two of them didn't say much, and once again offered their magical weapons.

In the underground waterway, Chen Shaoyan, who worshiped the Luoyun Sect, sacrificed the blue water beads. He obviously had the advantage of his skills and geographical location, but Lu Zhong had already condensed his consciousness and easily wiped out his advantage.

"Bang!"

The high-temperature water vapor exploded and swept through the huge underground hall.

For a moment, everything as far as the eye could see was white.

Since the water vapor contains a large amount of spiritual power, the Qi-gazing technique cannot see clearly in this situation. This is bad news for the disciples of the Zhonghe Ling Sect.

Suddenly there was a series of explosions, followed by a scream, but it was Chen Shaoyan who used the Luoyun Sect's secret technique Shuiyun Pu to see through the heavy water vapor and successfully attacked and killed an outer disciple of the Heling Sect.

One person is missing, and the joint attack formation will be broken immediately!

But before Chen Shaoyan showed joy on his face, he found that he had no feeling below his chest and abdomen.

A burning sensation came, accompanied by the smell of burnt flesh. He lowered his head in horror, and saw that the tip of a molten sword had pierced his lower abdomen.

Lu Zhong looked at this scene with no expression on his face.

The sword technique in his hand changed again, and a golden light passed by Chen Shaoyan's neck.

Suddenly, the human skull rolled down.

He waved again, and two sword shadows flew back, bringing back a gold-embroidered storage bag.

After putting away the storage bag, Lu Zhongcai looked at the others and said coldly: "Continue to search forward, and be sure not to let go of a coalition monk!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

The killing continued, but they were all low-level coalition monks who were stubbornly resisting, or even just cannon fodder of casual cultivators who had just been recruited. They could be said to have no power to fight back in front of the Heling Sect disciples who formed a formation.

Often they will be killed in one round.

By killing enemies, not only can you gain good deeds from the sect, but you can also often get a lot of combat trophies.

Or elixirs, spirit stones, magic weapons, or various miscellaneous spiritual materials, which are usually obtained after breaking through the Yongling City workshop, and you can get a lot of spirit stones by selling them.

Because of this, the Heling Sect disciples became more and more energetic in killing.

Lu Zhong didn't want to fight for these petty gains, so he kept following behind in case there were any more late-stage Qi Refining monks from the coalition forces. At the same time, he began to check the storage bag he had just obtained.

Chen Shaoyan's storage bag is not big, but it contains a lot of things.

"Hey, this is it?" Lu Zhong said softly and took out a jade box from the bag.

Remove the seal paper attached to the surface of the jade box, and when you open the wooden box, you can see a brown elixir the size of a dragon's eye, emitting a bright blue light, which is extremely bright in the vision of the Qi Watching Technique.

"It really is a pulse-protecting pill!"

Lu Zhong didn't expect that he could actually gain something like this.

Foundation-building elixirs are not the only ones that assist in foundation building. Many spiritual fruit elixirs have their own miraculous effects, either directly or indirectly, and can play varying degrees of auxiliary foundation-building effects.

This pulse protection pill is one of them.

Pulse Protecting Pill, a second-level elixir.

It can protect the heart from being damaged after the foundation building fails.

It is equivalent to a "simplified version of the Foundation Building Pill" that does not increase the success rate of Foundation Building.

Since the price of the Pulse Protecting Pill is only 30% of the Foundation Building Pill, it has become the second best choice for many monks. It has also helped many monks break through the Foundation Building Pill.

Lu Zhong's calm mood now showed some fluctuations.

He put the Pulse Protecting Pill into his main storage bag before continuing to check Chen Shaoyan's storage bag.

There are piles of spiritual stones, probably more than three thousand in number.

Boxes upon boxes of low-level elixirs, plus more than a hundred bottles of low-level elixirs, ranging from injury recovery to increasing cultivation. They obviously came to rob the alchemy workshop, and now they all belong to Lu Zhong.

Then there are the various sundries, which are nothing to look at.

As for the exercises and spells, he searched the entire storage bag and only found one volume, "The First Volume of Luo Yun Shui Fa".

After reading it over, I found that they were all basic spells of Luoyun Sect, such as water binding, waterspout, etc., and the highest level was only mid-level first level, not even a late-stage Qi refining spell.

A spell book like this probably wouldn't fetch a big price.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhong put it away anyway.

Walking along the underground waterway, the air gradually becomes humid and cold.

Every time you advance a certain distance, you can see more or less traces of fighting skills, or large pools of splattered blood, or one or two mutilated corpses.

Traces of fighting often appear in the Allied monk strongholds.

They are often located in the spacious area of ​​the underground hall, almost all of which are moisture-proof stilted buildings with special defense facilities on the outside. They are lurking in this kind of place, constantly launching raids and plunders on the workshops in Yongling City, trying to destroy the Heling Sect.

War potential.

The stronghold in front of them has been breached by the Heling Sect and is shrouded in a sea of ​​fire.

Lu Zhong's eyes passed over a large pot that had been knocked over to the ground.

As you can see, there isn't much spiritual rice in the pot. It's basically edible moss and smelly fish caught in the waterways. I guess my life is not going to be good in the future.

Bodies can also be seen scattered around the corners of the burning buildings.

However, these are not coalition monks, they are basically captured mortals.

Among them, most are young women.

Continuing to move forward, Lu Zhong soon arrived at the front line of the battle.

This is already within the scope of the ancient city’s waterways.

At this moment, a group of disciples are launching an attack on a stronghold.

According to the Heling Sect's usual tactics, they usually line up to bombard with fireballs until the outer defensive facilities and traps are destroyed, and then they form a formation to formally attack.

"Dong dong dong!"

Fireball bombs exploded in batches, blasting the defensive array of the coalition stronghold to the point of collapse.

Seeing Lu Zhong appear, three Heling Sect monks wearing inner disciple uniforms escorted a bloody Jinhong Sect swordsman, led by a short-haired female cultivator.

"Senior Brother Lu, we just found a letter from him and learned that the stronghold in front is an important location for the coalition forces. However, the specific function was not stated in the letter, and no results were obtained after an interrogation."

"Oh? An important location." Lu Zhong's eyes fell on the Jinhong Sect sword cultivator.

He quickly looked away. Since the three people's interrogation was fruitless, he thought that he couldn't pry out anything. After all, swordsmen have always been known for their mental toughness. The only way was to use the soul-searching technique to forcibly search for souls.

But the Soul Searching Technique is a second-level spell and cannot be practiced by monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
