Volume 2: Step by Step Lotus Chapter 41: The Way to Kill People and Sell Goods
After killing several stone beasts in a row, Feng Lian slowly figured out the situation of the stone beasts here.
They are all made from one or two pieces of ore from the first grade to the third grade of the master. They are not as intelligent as Phantom Beasts, but they can quickly find their opponents' weaknesses and attack. It will also copy the opponent's combat skills and exercises, and use his own way to govern others.
On this day, Feng Lian was fighting against two sixth-order intermediate and two sixth-order high-level stone beasts. As soon as he finished collecting the spiritual materials, he was attacked by a sneak attack, and the man hit him directly. Fortunately, Feng Lian reacted quickly enough, and sacrificed Feitian while avoiding by mistake, otherwise he would have been torn off a piece of meat.
Even so, he was left with a wound on his thigh that was two fingers wide and ten centimeters long. And cut his major artery for you.
The attacker was not wearing the clothes of the school. He is about forty years old, and he is at the peak of his martial arts. He was draped in a tattered cloak, and his gloves were accompanied by two masters and three grades, and iron claws more than a meter long. There are many wounds on his face and body that have not yet healed.
The situation that Chu Xi said has finally appeared. He still couldn't understand how there could be outsiders in the secret realm of the academy.
"Who are you?" asked Feng Lian, staring at the other party with a knife.
"Hahahaha, little friend, you are so naΓ―ve, and you asked me who I am. Didn't your master tell you what this place was?" the man smirked.
Feng Lian replied, "No." Can you tell me?"
"Hahaha, yes, I'll tell you when you're dead. Tell you my name before you die, so that you can also proclaim the great deeds of the deity in the underworld. Remember, my name is Shang Yin. β
Saying that, Shang Yin waved his iron claws and attacked Feng Lian up and down.
As soon as Feng Lian looked at his starting style, he knew that this person's combat skills were extremely exquisite, and he was so vicious that he couldn't do it.
Shang Yin's injuries have not healed, Feng Lian has just crossed the level and killed the four-headed stone beast, and more than half of his spiritual power has been consumed, so he actually does not have any advantage.
How dare Feng Lian slack off, and immediately release a hand to cover the sky and interfere with the other party's perception. At the same time, a wall of fire was released in front of him, blocking Shang Yin. Sacrifice the flying heavens.
Shang Yin was stunned for a moment, and the wall of fire immediately rushed out of the six-headed fire beast and rushed up to bite him.
Shang Yin was not a little nervous, and said with a smile: "The kid is good, the fusion of exercises and combat skills is already a bit interesting." It's much stronger than the Grandmasters I've met before. β
Shang Yin said, and the whole person instantly faded and disappeared.
Feng Lian's divine consciousness has been released, and through the Yin and Yang Technique, he senses that Shang Yin has moved to his side. He didn't turn around, but quietly released a spiritual power between him and Shang Yin, waiting for him to step forward before giving him a surprise attack.
Shang Yin was not fooled, and moved behind Feng Lian again. Feng Lian moved his strength behind him again. Shang Yin moved to Feng Lian's right again, but Feng Lian still didn't move, but just released his strength to defend. He had to buy time to close the wound in his thigh, or he would bleed to death.
"Boy, you can. How did you know where I am. Sure enough, Shang Yin could sense the spiritual power that Feng Lian had quietly released.
Feng Lian said calmly: "Not really, wasn't you successfully attacked just now?"
"Hahaha, quite modest. In that case, then I don't need to hide from you. Shang's invisible figure slowly emerged, and he once again waved his claws to attack Feng Lian.
The corners of Feng Lian's mouth curled slightly, delaying that time, allowing him to close the wound, stop the bleeding, and he could let go of the fight.
Feng Lian raised his sword to support his claws, and his heart was even more determined, Shang Yin's strength was much less than he imagined.
The two shook each other apart at the same time. Shang Yin crashed into the wall of fire behind him, and Feng Lian also collided with dozens of steel thorns condensed by Shang Yin behind him.
Feng Lian has a flying body, Shang Yin's strength is not enough, he is not injured, but the spiritual power is surging in his body for a moment.
Shang Yin was not so lucky, his cloak was ignited, and he burned a lot of places. The smell of barbecue floats in the air.
"What kind of flame are you?" Shang Yin finally faced Feng Lian, and even had a trace of fear.
"The flames that can burn you to death. "This is the first time since Feng Lian left the Shattered Domain that he has used all his strength to use the Spirit Flame, and the temperature is so high that the stones on the ground have been burned into fiery red stone slurry.
Feng Lian took the lead in attacking, and walls of fire ignited around Shang Yin, forming a prison of flames and trapping Shang Yin. At the same time, he transformed into a burning man and rushed into the prison.
Shang Yin wanted to dodge in the way he had just done and get out of prison. But he found that his sea of consciousness was frozen at that moment. It was a hand released by Feng Lian at the fastest speed to cover the sky.
Shang Yin instantly regained his composure, waving his claws to face Feng Lian.
His combat skills are really exquisite, Feng Lian has now trapped him with a prison, but he still hasn't been able to take advantage of him, he can't really hurt him, every time he hurts, Feng Lian will also be taken down pieces of flesh and blood by iron claws.
Shang Yin had already realized the combination of martial arts and combat skills. Each blow comes with the power of the exercises, and Feng Lian really can't find a way to deal with it.
If it weren't for Feitian's super defense, Feng Lian would have almost become a skeleton.
Feng Lian can only give up this style of play, which is too spiritually draining. Even the spiritual power on Shang Yin's body couldn't stay.
Feng Lian removed the wall of fire, thought about it for a while, and decided to use the style of fighting with the phantom beast to face Shang Yin. Anyway, it consumes spiritual power, and that kind of play may be able to break through Shang Yin's defense. You only need to leave a certain amount of soul power, and use the peerless magic hand to save your life when you are helpless.
"Boy, the spiritual power is insufficient, let you see how the deity tore off your flesh and blood. Shang Yin's eyes showed a fierce light, and countless steel thorns appeared all over his body, rolling towards Feng Lian like a hedgehog.
Feng Lian accurately released a path of fire in the direction that Shang Yin was rolling from. This time, Feng Lian no longer had any reservations, and released the hottest spiritual flame, otherwise it would be difficult to hurt Shang Yin.
The thorns on Shang Yin's body immediately lengthened, and his body rose to avoid the flames. However, he did not escape the scorching airwaves, and the steel spikes were burned red.
Shang Yin hurriedly avoided the fire path and rushed towards Feng Lian from the side.
Feng Lian immediately reversed the spirit crystal, and the sword body exuded a faint cold aura.
Feng Lian rose into the air, swept a sword, and cut the steel thorns in the lower part of the "hedgehog" neatly.
Shang Yin Zhihai churned for a while, he couldn't bear the pain, and shouted, only to make himself a little sober, and quickly changed his soul power defense.
Feng Lian reversed the spirit crystal again, turning into a spiritual attack, the hottest flame attached to the sword, extremely sharp, and another sword cut off the steel thorn on Shang Yin's side, this time even Shang Yin's right hand was cut off by Feng Lian.
The fallen arm burned a large hole in the ground more than two meters wide, and dark red magma tumbled inside.
Shang Yin hurriedly used his life-saving skills, and the phantom microstep. If he wants to escape, how will Feng Lian give him a chance, and he will fall from the sky with a hand. It contains soul power, and directly shoots Shang Yin from mid-air, inlaid into the ground more than a meter deep.
The tip of Feng Lian's sword condensed an incomparably pure soul power, burrowing into Shang Yin's eyebrows. said, "I'll ask you to answer." β
Shang Yin's face was full of unwillingness to be frightened, and he said tremblingly, "Please speak." β
"Explain the situation here. β
"Didn't your master tell you about the situation here?"
"If you talk nonsense, you will die. There is a lie that the end is also death. Feng Lian really didn't have that patience, why he fought desperately just now, it was that he sensed that someone was approaching, and he was not in good condition now, so he had to leave quickly.
"Yes, I was arrested and locked up here by the Foreign Affairs Institute of Muyun Academy. This ghost place can be said to be the dungeon of Muyun Academy. Those who offended Muyun Academy or did a lot of evil were all arrested by the Foreign Affairs Academy. β
For a person like Shang Yin, where is there any morality and self-esteem. To live is the only purpose, to live, let them do whatever they want, let alone just talk about the situation here.
The Vientiane Secret Realm was originally a prison for the Muyun Academy, which was used to hold all kinds of criminals.
No matter how high your cultivation was, when you got here, you were suppressed to the Grandmaster's low-level cultivation, and then you had to rely on your own cultivation and then slowly level up. If you can break through the mortal realm one day, you can leave here, this is the rule of Muyun Academy.
Feng Lian slandered Muyun Academy ruthlessly enough. In addition to the aura of the valley he had just entered, the aura in other places was so thin that it was impossible to find a trace of the essence.
Especially after hunting the stone beasts, the powder turned into sucked away all the spiritual energy within tens of meters around. It's difficult to even survive, and it's impossible to cultivate to break through the mortal realm.
In an instant, he understood another truth, Shang Yin could cultivate to the peak of the Martial Sect, he must have killed a lot of students and obtained a large number of spiritual materials, pills, spars and other cultivation materials to get to where he is today.
There is also a special situation in the Vientiane Secret Realm, that is, there must be battles inside at all times, so that the internal air flow surges. Otherwise, the circle that keeps it alive will cease to function.
Students can't stay here for long, it's too difficult to maintain. That would only allow those who had committed the most heinous crimes to keep the secret realm running. At the same time, it allows martial arts students to experience the test of life and death here.
And take away the precious spiritual materials here.
According to Shang Yin, the environment here is very suitable for generating Xuan-level first-grade and master-grade third-grade spiritual materials. And all of them have spirituality, so they will form stone beasts. It is estimated that it should be the secret realm of a certain master of martial arts.
"Are there many prisoners like you here?"
"Many, at least one or two hundred thousand. Every once in a while, another batch will be put in by the Foreign Affairs Academy. β
"And how long have you been here?"
"One hundred and seventy-three years. β
"How many students did you kill?"
"No, I really didn't kill a student, only prisoners like me. β
"Yes, I hate liars the most, so you can die. "He was so cruel to himself, and he dared to say that he had never killed a student, and Feng Lian didn't want to let him go. I just found an excuse.
Feng Lian's soul power drilled into Shang Yin's sea of knowledge, and the abuse in his hand was also inserted into his dantian, injecting spiritual power into his spirit crystal.
Shang Yin rolled on the ground in pain, and after a while, a black mist came out of the seven orifices, and the inside of his skull was already a hollow. Feng Lian was sure that he was dead, so he took off the six ethereal rings from his fingers. Take to the air and quickly leave.
After flying a distance, Feng Lian fell back to the ground, flying too ostentatious, easy to be discovered, or walking the safest.
Soon after he left, four students, two men and two women, came to Shang Yin's body. Looking at the devastated battlefield, and then at Shang Yin, who died ugly, they all showed surprised expressions.
A female student asked, "Shang Yin is dead, what should we do?"
The short male student said, "What else can I do, find out the murderer, and continue to track down." β
The other woman withdrew her gaze and said, "The one who killed Shang Yin was a fire attribute cultivator, and his soul power is still very strong. Judging from the situation on the scene, at least it has reached the senior level of the Martial Sect. β
"Yes, or it wouldn't have caused such a lot of damage. The scope of our investigation has narrowed down a lot. β
"Is that a prisoner or a classmate? β
The male classmate, who had not spoken, said: "Stupid, which prisoner here can cultivate the attribute aura to the advanced level of the Martial Sect? Do you think the attribute aura is so easy to cultivate." It must have been killed by our classmates at the school. β
"He hasn't left far yet, let's chase after each other, if it doesn't work, we will go back to the school and ask the master to help investigate. β
The male classmate who was the first to speak said in annoyance: "The third brother is really good, ask him to send the things given by Honglan Pavilion back to the sect first." He didn't listen, but he wanted to come in. It doesn't matter if he's killed, the problem is that we've lost something, and we don't have any good fruit to eat when we go back. β
"What's the use of saying this, let's chase it quickly. Remember not to be too far away, the distance that Yu Jian can sense here is very short. β
The four men flew in four directions.
Feng Lian found a smaller stone mountain, dug a hole, and hid in it to recover his spiritual power.
Here he must overcome his pill phobia. Take the Gathering Spirit Pill and the Blood Returning Pill. Refine as fast as possible.
Half a day later, Feng Lian's spiritual power had recovered, and it would take at least two days for the injury to fully heal. He didn't want to take any more pills, so he quickly used his mental method and forcibly extracted thin aura to heal his injuries. This is also a way to cultivate the mind.
Feng Lian finished inspecting the six ethereal rings and was overjoyed. This Shang Yin is too rich. There are more than 200,000 pieces of Xuanjing, as well as all kinds of pills and spiritual materials. The value is at least 500,000 Xuanjing. Coupled with the Ethereal Ring and his two master three-grade iron claws, Feng Lian earned more than one million Xuanjing in one battle.
There was also a purple-red wooden box inside, which was engraved with all kinds of cumbersome magic circles, and Feng Lian couldn't open it for a while.
Putting everything into the bone ring, the ethereal ring could not be put inside the bone ring, he strung them together and hung them around his waist.
After three days, Feng Lian saw that he had almost recovered. Decided not to deal with any stone beasts, so he specifically looked for those high-level prisoners.
The prisoner's combat skills are higher and his net worth is also rich, which is the best whetstone for him to practice his exercises and combat skills. It is also the sunny road for him to make a fortune.
As soon as his mind moved, the gossip map in the sea of knowledge immediately gave Feng Lian a direction.
However, what Feng Lian saw was not a cultivator, but a high-level stone beast of the Martial Sect. It seems that the Bagua Diagram only gives him a direction that suits him to cultivate himself and the exercises. It is not specific that people were still stone beasts at that time.
After killing the stone beast, Feng Lian walked hundreds of miles before he met a prisoner of the intermediate level of the Martial Sect. He didn't use soul skills and soul power, only used exercises and combat skills, and killed the other party in less than a quarter of an hour.
disappointed Feng Lian, this person's net worth combined was less than two thousand Xuanjing.
Feng Lian followed the guidance of the gossip map, and he could always meet prisoners and stone beasts along the way, and killed six people in a row, but he didn't gain much. Occasionally, he would meet students from the academy, and he would walk around them, not wanting to clash with them.
What he needs now is a battle of life and death, not a battle with scruples.
On this day, Feng Lian met three prisoners who were traveling together, all of whom were senior martial artists.
The leader is called Tiankai, the second is a woman, called Tianyu, and the third is called Tianchong. It is a kind of combined attack technique. Fighting separately, everyone is average, and the combined attack power has surpassed the mortal realm.
Feng Lian didn't expect that there were prisoners traveling together in such a place, and they also had a combined attack technique, and they were beaten and injured. But he still didn't want to escape, and until the last minute, giving up was not his option.
