After forcibly using the Four Element Sword Formation, Qingyang's body's true energy was almost exhausted, and his face turned pale due to the overload operation of his spiritual thoughts. However, the battle would continue, so he forcibly brought up the last bit of true energy and prepared to attack again.
At this moment, the remaining Mountain Shocking Rats suddenly collapsed, turned around and fled in all directions.
If the second-level Mountain Shocking Rat is still alive, under his supervision, the rat group can barely persist in fighting. Now that the leader has been killed, more than 70% of the entire group has been killed or injured. The remaining Mountain Shocking Rats have long been frightened and collapsed.
Very normal thing.
Seeing the collapse of the rat swarm, Qingyang regained the vitality he had just mentioned and did not go forward to chase those Jingshan rats. The entire rat swarm was frightened and there were only forty or fifty left. For
For him, it doesn't matter whether he kills or not.
Qingyang leaned on the green bamboo sword and looked at the pile of spiritual stones in the cave, but did not step forward to collect them, because he was so tired from two consecutive fierce battles that he could not work up his energy at all, and the danger around him had not been completely eliminated.
You must first restore your physical strength and vitality.
Qingyang took out a spiritual stone and held it in his hand, and then took out a healing elixir and was about to bring it to his mouth. At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a strong wind rushed straight to the back of his head.
Qingyang had just experienced a fierce battle, and this was the time when he was most relaxed. However, what happened was too sudden, and the wind behind him was so fast that he had no time to think about it. Based on instinct, Qingyang instantly turned his body to the side.
He ducked and managed to avoid the strong wind behind him.
At this time, Qingyang had already discovered that the thing stabbing him was actually a spear, but the opponent's attack did not stop there. After stabbing him in the air, the spear swept forward and hit Qingyang. The opponent was completely following the trend.
However, Qingyang's instinct just now was so flat that it was too late to dodge, and he could only watch as the spear hit him.
Qingyang received this heavy blow and could no longer hold on. He opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his body flew back more than ten feet in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. This injury was not light, and Qingyang's strength was severely affected.
The damage is severe, and even if you endure the pain, you can't perform 20 to 30% of your previous performance.
Qingyang couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Previously, he had to go all out to deal with the Mountain Rat Swarm. He took all the Alcoholic Bees back to him and did not guard the surrounding area. Unexpectedly, he gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. This person hid his body and aura and hid not far away.
He waited until he had a fierce battle with the Mountain Rats and had just decided the winner, then suddenly launched a sneak attack, making it difficult for anyone to escape.
Qingyang stood up and looked towards the direction of the sneak attack. At this time, a figure slowly walked out from the corner, then with a move of his hand, he retracted the spear.
When he saw the person coming out clearly, Qingyang was shocked and angry, and said: "Is it you? Senior Brother Li, you actually attacked me secretly?"
The senior brother Li Qingyang mentioned was none other than Li Shengbo. He took a few steps forward and looked at Qingyang expressionlessly, saying: "Of course it's me. Junior Brother Qingyang's strength is amazing. Even I wasn't sure about the sword formation just now."
Crack, if I hadn’t used a sneak attack to severely injure you, I wouldn’t have dared to show my face.”
"Why are you doing this?" Qingyang said angrily.
Hearing Qingyang's words, Li Shengbo's face gained a trace of ferocity and he said: "It's because you are too good. You are so good that I am jealous of you. I was the one who took you into the Qingfeng Hall in the first place. You have no background and poor qualifications.
But it only took a short period of eighteen years to break through to the eighth level of Qi refining, and I, a mid-stage Qi refining monk, am only at the ninth level of Qi refining."
Qingyang took a breath, and while secretly thinking about countermeasures, he asked: "You attacked me because of jealousy? Senior brother, don't you care about the friendship of the same family?"
"Jealousy is of course not the most important thing. When you used the Immortal Kowling Order to become a disciple, your qualifications were definitely not as good as mine, but it only took you more than ten years to achieve what I had achieved in decades. Isn't that not true?
Is it strange? I think you must have the secret to quickly improve your cultivation. Maybe I can use this secret to break through to the foundation building stage." Li Shengbo said.
Others don't know it, but Li Shengbo knows the details of Qingyang. The qualifications for entering the Qingfeng Palace with the Immortal Order are much worse than those of himself who entered the Qingfeng Palace with the Immortal Root. He also practiced hard for decades to achieve such an achievement.
, this kid only used it for more than ten years, how can it not make people suspicious?
Of course, there are many people with poor qualifications who eventually become high-level monks, but this chance is much lower than those with good qualifications. Li Shengbo doesn't think Qingyang is this exception.
Li Shengbo paused slightly and continued: "In addition, of course there is another reason. I heard that you won the first place in the Chaotic Demon Valley trial seven years ago, and you harvested tens of thousands of spirit stones. If these spirit stones
The stones are all mine, is it still difficult to break through the foundation building stage?"
Li Shengbo has said so much, but the last sentence is actually the main reason. Everyone has jealousy, but not many put it into practice. As for the secret of quickly improving cultivation, it is just his guess. The real situation
No one knows what is going on, and few people will take action based on an unreliable guess. Only the tens of thousands of spiritual stones are the most reliable.
If it were just one or two of the above reasons, most people would not take the risk. There are many disciples in the Qingfeng Palace who know that Qingyang has tens of thousands of spirit stones, so there is no one who has evil thoughts? But the three reasons add up, plus here
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by everyone in the sect, so it seems worth taking the risk.
There is a deeper reason why Li Shengbo did this, that is, his cultivation has reached the perfection of Qi refining, and breakthrough is the most important thing for him at the moment. Becoming a foundation-building monk is like his inner demon, and no opportunity is allowed.
miss.
Although the inner court competition will be held in more than a year, he is not sure enough. He is already in his sixties this year. If he loses this competition, how will he have a chance in the future? So the secrets about Qingyang, and
That wealth of tens of thousands of spiritual stones became his life-saving straw.
Li Shengbo didn't say these words clearly, but Qingyang could roughly guess it. Qingyang said: "Senior Brother Li is really deliberate. Before, you deliberately suggested that we all split up. At that time, you had already made up your mind to sneak attack on me, right?"
Li Shengbo smiled and said: "That's natural. When I proposed to split up, you all thought I was selfish and wanted to monopolize the reward for discovering the spirit stone veins. But you didn't know that I didn't plan to find any spirit stone veins at all.
Just looking for an opportunity to attack you, no matter how great the reward is for discovering the spirit stone veins, can it be compared to Junior Brother Qingyang’s net worth of tens of thousands of spirit stones?"
"It seems that Senior Brother Li has convinced me." Qingyang said.
