Not long after, Ye Chen and the others had arrived thousands of miles east of Julu Xianyuan City, where the foundation-building patrol team was attacked.
There were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, their bodies disemboweled, their souls gone, and their hearts dug out and thrown aside.
They were just foundation-building monks, and they had no power to resist when they encountered the seventh- or eighth-level Jindan-level demon cultivators.
The monk who escaped back to Julu Xianyuan City was completely lucky.
The five people's consciousnesses felt the surrounding atmosphere.
"There is no trace of the demon cultivator within a hundred miles. It seems that these demon cultivator spies left after ambushing the patrol team."
"Another trip we made was in vain!"
Li Yun and others were a little depressed. They were just wasting time on the road and gained nothing from the trip.
Ye Chen was originally going to suggest that he spread out to the surrounding areas to search carefully, but he thought that he still didn't know a lot about Julu Xianyuan City, and the strength of Li Yun and the other four were not very strong. He didn't say anything.
"It doesn't matter if the demon cultivator is not found, we don't have to fight with the demon cultivator, so there is less risk of dying in battle. We only need to bring back the corpses of these foundation-building disciples, and half of the task is completed. Although we have not found those
There are traces of several demon cultivator spies, but after returning, they at most scolded us for not doing things well, but they can't say that we refused to carry out the mission!"
Lin Ruquan was actually a little happy.
"Junior sister Lin is right. If the cultivation levels between the human cultivators in Dongzhou and the demon cultivators in Donghai are similar, there is only a thin line between life and death. The demon clan has recently lost several transformed demon cultivators, and Dongzhou has also fallen.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as the Golden Core Stage cultivators and seventh- and eighth-level demon cultivators, have killed and injured no less than a hundred people."
Chen Su nodded.
"By the way, four fellow Taoists, I see that the techniques you used to fly your sword just now are exactly the same. Are you all from the same immortal sect?"
Ye Chen said a little strangely.
"Immortal sect? Haha, Brother Ye is from Yunzhou and doesn't know the situation in Dongzhou. I've heard that you have nine immortal sects in Yunzhou and have always maintained the tradition of immortal sects. But Dongzhou is different from Yunzhou. Dongzhou has long been
There are no immortal gates anymore, only seventy-two immortal cities under the jurisdiction of the Tiandao Alliance. Basically all the monks in Dongzhou are affiliated with the major immortal cities.
We were originally practicing together as casual cultivators, worshiping the same master and traveling around. However, after reaching the foundation building, the cultivation of casual cultivators has reached its peak. Many high-level materials, high-level elixirs and the like must be prepared in
You can only get it by joining the Fairy City. However, if you don’t join the Fairy City, you will be restricted from purchasing some high-end items. After we join the Julu Fairy City, we can buy the much-needed high-end materials in the city before we can advance to the Golden Core realm."
Chen Su explained.
Ye Chen nodded.
"So that's it, then these four are definitely not the direct disciples of Julu Xianyuan City! Just now, Fellow Daoist Li said that seven or eight Jindan monks who have been excluded have died one after another in the mission. City Master You Shao obviously wants to target us.
Can we just sit back and wait for death?"
Ye Chen muttered.
He said something to us inadvertently.
To the ears of Chen Su and the others, Ye Chen was obviously on their side and felt the same pain as them.
"This man named You is the young city lord, and his father rarely controls him! What can we do?"
Chen Su and others shook their heads slowly, obviously helpless to the extreme.
While talking, Ye Chen suddenly sensed some strong aura in the distance and quickly came around.
Chen Su and the others immediately noticed these auras. Their expressions changed.
In the distance, five golden elixir demons were flying towards Ye Chen.
"No! This is a trap!"
"They put some corpses here, and sent one or two Foundation Establishment monks back to report and ask for help! No wonder the Foundation Establishment monk was able to escape alive!"
The experienced Chen Su's expression changed and he almost immediately thought of a possibility.
"Didn't you say there are only three demon cultivators? How come there are five!"
Lin Ruquan was surprised.
"Since it is a trap, they naturally retained their strength and deliberately misled us, making us think that there were only three demon cultivator spies with average strength!"
Chen Su's face turned ugly.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The five demon cultivators separated in the air, surrounding Ye Chen and other five golden elixir cultivators.
A water lizard demon, a hundred-foot demon snake, a gray demon eagle, and two green-feathered demon cranes are all Jindan level demon cultivators.
The five demon cultivators quickly surrounded Ye Chen, Chen Su and the other five people. Even if they wanted to run away, they had already missed their best opportunity.
The demon eagle and the two-headed demon crane are both bird demons. Flying in the air is their talent, and ordinary human monks cannot match their speed.
Several of their demon cultivator spies were sent near Julu Xianyuan City. They originally planned to find the lone Golden Core monks. Each of the Golden Core monks could be exchanged for a large number of spiritual objects, but they only found one.
Only patrol teams of foundation-stage monks are built.
At the suggestion of the water lizard demon, they separated three demon cultivators to kill the patrol team, and deliberately let one person go, waiting for the Golden Core cultivator who came to check.
Regarding Julu Xianyuan City, they have long known that there is only one Nascent Soul stage city lord who usually does not leave the city. Those who go out to perform tasks are all Jindan stage monks.
Sure enough, they discovered Ye Chen and others within a short time.
The "Eye of the Goshawk" talent magic unique to the gray demon eagle clan can observe movements thousands of miles away. Although it is of no use in a war, it is extremely practical for investigation.
Ye Chen's consciousness only explored the surrounding area of a hundred miles, but did not notice the auras of these five demon cultivators farther away.
Ye Chen frowned and looked over. He saw that the water lizard demon and the eagle cultivator were both eighth-level middle-level golden elixir demon cultivators, and the other three were seventh-level golden elixir early-level demon cultivators.
And all of them are at the early stage of Jindan cultivation, which is the level of seventh-level demon cultivators.
From a pure comparison of numbers and cultivation, it was obvious that the strength of the five of them was at a disadvantage in this battle.
The water lizard demon cultivator stretched out his claws and scratched in the air.
A white cloud of several hundred feet floating in the distant sky immediately dimmed, and the water vapor shrank sharply, condensing into a huge long bow in the claws of the water lizard demon cultivator.
"It's a water-gathering bow! Be careful!"
Chen Su whispered.
Seeing that the lizard cultivator had already taken action, the other demon cultivators also took action one after another.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three giant water arrows shot out from the "Water Gathering Bow" and shot at Ye Chen.
The water lizard demon obviously has a very strong grasp of water aura.
The three water arrows, carrying the demon power added by the water lizard demon cultivator, were extremely fast, almost tearing the air apart.
The remaining four Jindan level demon cultivators have also already fought against Chen Su and others.
Ye Chen snorted, dodged the water arrows, and fired spells to counterattack; he didn't need to use all his strength to deal with the water lizard monster. He wanted to see the strength of the other four first.
"Stone Puppet Technique!"
The ugly stone puppet appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Chen. With a bang, the stone puppet withstood three water arrows. However, its huge stone body also shook violently, and three deep pits were blasted out by the water arrows.
Ye Chen was not surprised. With the strength of an eighth-level demon cultivator, this stone puppet could not withstand many attacks.
Sudden.
Ye Chen raised his head suddenly.
I saw a small dark cloud rising above his head.
The water lizard demon roared fiercely, stretched out its sharp claws, and pulled it into the air. Suddenly, dozens of black thunder pillars struck down from the dark clouds.
"Crack!"
Dozens of thunder pillars hit Ye Chen's head.
However, the thunder pillar did not hit Ye Chen's body, and was blocked by a thick and huge ice wall. Pieces of thunder pillars hit the ice wall, exploding countless ice fragments.
"That's all you have!?"
Ye Chen sneered and mocked.
Thunder spells are his specialty. The water monster lizard actually used them against him.
He at least has several ways to easily defend against lightning attacks.
"Bah~!"
The water lizard demon cultivator was angry and his eyes flashed.
Its water-gathering bow is not very powerful, and the water arrows it shoots are basically impossible to harm a Golden Core monk.
Its real trump card is thunder, and many monks have fallen under its thunder.
The water lizard demon cultivator took a deep breath, and a burst of water mist spurted out from its mouth, forming a water mark in the air, curving like a rainbow, surrounding Ye Chen.
The water lizard demon cultivator slid into the mist. His speed instantly increased several times.
The water lizard monster was born in water, and the water escape technique is what it is best at. It fills the air with water mist. It glides through the air with the water escape technique, turning this place into its main battlefield.
Its monster body also gradually became transparent, seeming to be hidden in the mist.
"How dare you show this little trick to your eyes. The third form of "Tianxu Sword Intention", the scorching sun rises in the east! Break!"
Ye Chen looked around calmly, pinched the flying sword in his hand, and shot it out!
In an instant!
A scorching sun rises in the east.
When the sun comes out, it shines brightly.
This round of scorching sun pierces the mist.
The large amount of water mist sprayed by the water monster lizard was immediately dispersed completely, dissipating invisible under the golden light of the scorching sun!
The water monster lizard's monster body, which had been gradually hiding, was exposed again.
It was only a few hundred feet away from Ye Chen.
"Bah!"
The water lizard demon cultivator ignored his surprise and quickly tore at Ye Chen with his sharp claws. The demon cultivator's physical body was itself the strongest attacking weapon.
"Ice wall!"
Ye Chen turned his palm and clapped it.
Another ice wall appeared, a huge obstacle appearing between him and Lizard Xiu.
boom!
The water lizard demon struck down with a sharp claw, and the ice wall instantly shattered.
However, behind the ice wall, Ye Chen had disappeared without a trace.
"How is that possible? Where did it go?"
The water lizard demon was immediately shocked. It couldn't even touch Ye Chen's shadow.
"not good!"
It keenly felt an extremely fierce killing intent above its head!
"Golden scale armor!"
Wow!
The water lizard demon was so frightened that it instantly injected all the demonic power in its body into the scales on its back. The demonic body arched and burst out with a burst of dazzling golden light.
Ye Chen had just used Air Breaking Flash. The moment the lizard repaired it and broke through the ice wall, it was already dozens of feet above its head.
"The fourth power of Tianxu Sword Intent is human power!"
Ye Chen's flying sword glowed with dazzling light, carrying an indomitable momentum.
Using the monk's own magic power, he poured the magic power into the flying sword and made an indomitable killing blow. The monk's own power was the strongest blow that could be unleashed.
clang!
Ye Chen's sword light hit the lizard cultivator's scales, making an impact sound, but it did not break the lizard cultivator's defense.
The water lizard demon cultivator was blasted to the ground.
Although the powerful sword skills did not directly penetrate its protection, the overbearing power penetrated through the scales and reached directly into its body.
Fortunately, the demon cultivator was extremely strong, so this single blow could not seriously injure it.
The water lizard demon cultivator looked up at the sky, his eyes already bloodshot and red.
hateful!
A human cultivator who was only in the early stage of the Golden Core was actually on a par with an eighth-level demon cultivator like him. Even his two favorite spells were easily broken! (To be continued...)
