Chapter 23 Three on Three
"Cough cough cough cough"
In the airtight cave, the smell of blood and lava was so strong and nauseating that Chu Lanyue vomited until she coughed violently.
"Ah! Ah!"
The last burst of screams sounded in the cave, miserable, but pleasant.
She leaned against the cave wall softly and bonelessly, shrank down feebly, and looked at a tall figure in the darkness from a distance. Her eyes, which were originally empty and lifeless, suddenly gained some sparkle.
...
Zhao Xiuxuan tightened his grip on the sword
Let out a long breath.
Under his feet, in the cave two people high, were ten corpses that were fragmented like rags, all wearing linen clothes and tied with a straw rope around their waists.
All the people here are Maiwei
Basically, they are all monks at the 3rd to 5th level of Qi Refining. If he is just an ordinary 6th level Qi Refining, and is besieged by ten monks who are in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, he may be in trouble.
With the combination of Luo Yanbu (2) and Ten Style Sword Technique (2), Zhao Xiuxuan is naturally not afraid, not to mention the plundering formation of a Wind Eagle Puppet and a Giant Lizard Puppet. However, there are several linen guards.
The scale magic weapon held in his hand, the aura shield it produced was comparable to the Xuanwu Talisman, which was a little troublesome.
I don't feel any discomfort about killing these people.
There were dozens of iron stoves above his head. Most of them had a mixture of blood and stench. They must have been imprisoned by monks. Some of them were piled with things like blood lakes. He didn't think deeply about it, but he also knew what they were.
"Death is not a pity"
After killing all the enemies, there was no movement outside the long cave that stretched to unknown directions. Just when he thought that the three hall masters in the late stage of Qi Refining had not taken action personally, a deep and honest voice came from far away.
"I don't know if any Taoist friend has come to my Black Mountain branch in person. Tell me so that I, Mu Ben, can treat me well."
Zhao Xiuxuan frowned, looked back at the people in the cave, jumped on the giant lizard puppet, and crawled forward in a timid manner.
The cave was very long, winding all the way up. When approaching the entrance of the cave, Zhao Xiuxuan released the wind eagle first. After seeing that there was no ambush at the entrance of the cave, he urged Luo Yanbu with all his strength and jumped out with lightning speed.
.
"Hey! Taoist friend's handsome body skills"
A sound of surprise came from outside the cave
As soon as Zhao Xiuxuan stood still, he found that he had jumped out of a huge stone bust.
Outside is a thirty-forty-foot-long site. A dilapidated three-story tower-like Taoist temple is leaning against the cliff at the top of the mountain. The writing on the plaque has been blurred. In front of the Taoist temple, three middle-aged monks in red robes and black patterned robes are presenting.
Arrange the characters and prepare for them.
Seeing that the person who came out was so young, Mu Ben, as the official master of the Blood Refining Hall, was stunned. He looked at the Wind Eagle puppet hovering in the sky and was even more surprised.
"Puppetry, this is rare"
His eyes flashed and he asked tentatively
"Fellow Taoist, which sect are you a disciple of? I don't know what offends our Black Mountain Sect."
Zhao Xiuxuan carefully observed these three people for a while.
However, since he has not learned the detection technique that can detect the cultivation level of monks, he does not know what the cultivation level of these three people is. However, the blood-stealing guard has already said before that there are three chief and deputy hall masters, and a ninth-level Qi refining master.
, two people at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Presumably the Mu Ben who is speaking is the main hall master.
"One to three, I have two puppets here who are comparable to those in the late stage of Qi Refining. Although my realm is the sixth level of Qi Refining, which is three smaller realms than the ninth level of Qi Refining, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's a pity that the ten-style sword
The range of the spell is good, but the attack is still a bit poor. It can clear the field quickly against the small soldiers, but it is a little bit worse when dealing with the later stage of Qi refining. End this mission quickly and go back to find an attack spell to practice."
Thinking like this, he asked directly
"Where is the woman in palace attire who was kidnapped by you a few days ago?"
"A woman in palace attire?"
Mu Ben frowned. At this moment, a person behind him said something into his ear. His brows suddenly relaxed, and his eyes became a little strange, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"You're actually a kid who is in the middle stage of Qi refining. Bah, I almost got a punch in the eye. Why, you, just in the middle stage of Qi refining, killed a dozen of the disciples I sent over?"
"If that's true, then it would be better to kill them. These idiots would simply die without mercy."
This person took a closer look at Zhao Xiuxuan's realm, and his expression changed so quickly that he didn't even ask what sect he was a disciple of, which was rare.
Zhao Xiuxuan stopped talking, poured a few spirit-restoring pills into his mouth, released the giant lizard puppets, and endured his heartache to replace the two puppets with a low-grade spiritual stone to ensure that they would not be disconnected during the battle.
He patted the giant lizard puppet's hard shell, black smoke rolled under his feet, and his whole body became blurred before he rushed forward.
"Are you so rampant in the middle stage of Qi refining now?"
Mu Ben was extremely angry and laughed back. He had three late-stage Qi-refining people, and how could he dare to take action as a small mid-stage Qi-refining person?
However, he stopped laughing immediately.
Zhao Xiuxuan, urged by Luo Yanbu, turned into black smoke and jumped around, urging the green sword to shine brightly. Like the legendary swordsman who turned his body into a sword, he stabbed him in the blink of an eye.
"Swish swish"
The Wind Eagle puppet hovered in the sky, and the spiritual energy bombs made a sound of breaking through the air.
"Kwacha Kwacha", the giant lizard puppet grabbed the ground with its soles and drew a long ravine on the ground. It was covered in earth-yellow spiritual light and rushed over.
...
"Boom! Boom!"
The last two intact beams of the Taoist temple were directly broken by Mu Ben who was hiding in a spiritual energy shield that looked like a gray light egg.
The entire dilapidated Taoist temple collapsed with a "boom!", and the rubble and wooden frames fell to the ground. Only a stone statue with a short spear in its left hand, a sword in its right hand, and a pangolin-like animal under its feet stood still.
A moment later, a figure soared into the sky from the mess on the ground, yelling in surprise and anger.
"You brat, kill my two deputy hall masters, and I will imprison you in a blood vat until you have been refining for seventy-seven forty-nine days!!"
Outside the collapsed Taoist temple, Zhao Xiuxuan looked at the nearly damaged giant lizard puppet with distress and took it back.
Just now, he did not hesitate to destroy the giant lizard puppet, so that it and the wind eagle puppet teamed up to restrain Mu Ben, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining for a moment, and then used thunder to pick two people at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The deputy head of the hall.
In terms of the purity of their mana essence, the gap between these three people is very small. They may have several times more experience in martial arts than Zhao Xiuxuan, but they are no match for his cheating Luo Yanbu. In just half a cup of tea, they were forced to shake it out.
The cold blood mist all over his body was so disgusting that it forced Zhao Xiuxuan to not get close, and then chased him with a flying cone weapon.
Zhao Xiuxuan tried several times to rush into the blood mist, but he was forced back by an evil thought that disturbed his mind. Even if he finally got in front of the monk in the blood mist, all attacks were blocked by the scale magic weapons in the hands of the two deputy hall masters.
It was blocked.
At this time, he realized the shortcomings of short-range combat.
Forced to have no choice, he could only avoid the two flying cone magic weapons while throwing fireballs into the blood mist. Although part of the blood mist exploded, it was still difficult to attack the gray aura shield spread out by the scale magic weapon.
.
Finally, when Zhao Xiuxuan was avoiding the flying cone magic weapon, he suddenly thought of the three soul-breaking cones he obtained after the battle on Weiluo Island. He deliberately pretended that he was incompetent, but in fact he took out the soul-breaking cones when he got closer. The person inside looked shocked.
He looked easily killed.
Just after killing the two deputy hall masters, the giant lizard puppet over there was attacked by a strange horn. Half of its body was pierced and damaged, making it difficult to move. All the spiritual energy in its body could be gathered in its tail, and it shot out the last shot with great force.
With a strike, Mu Ben, who was at the ninth level of Qi refining, was knocked away.
"Demon Blood Qi!"
In a rage, Mu Ben gritted his teeth and squirted a mouthful of blood into his hands. Blood mist immediately seeped out from the pores of his hands, wrapping his hands. His eyes became red, his pores became thinner, and his face changed in an instant.
It's extremely evil.
