Chapter 149: A Blood Knife
With a scream from Wantang, the entire inner hall was completely thrown into chaos.
Everyone scrambled to ignite the aura of brilliance, but in the strange smoke and dust, they could only illuminate the scene half a foot in front of them.
Someone began to flee.
Someone subconsciously took out the talisman seal on his body and threw it around.
Then a long wind began to spread in the air.
Liang Chen's reaction was fast.
Almost at the same time as the smoke and lights went out, he stepped on the howling wind and hurried towards the place where the evening tang made a sound.
Even with Liang Chen's strengthened eyesight, it was difficult to see the figures around him clearly in this billowing smoke.
With such a sudden change in the exhibition hall, Liang Chen's first reaction was, of course, that the Blood Knife Ancestor was here.
He was not afraid that the other party would snatch the ancient remnant of the talisman he had forged.
But if he just let the Blood Knife Ancestor run away, all of Liang Chen's plans would naturally fail.
So he had to cut them off.
Liang Chen took out a page of rune paper from the Sumeru bracelet, sketched a simple pattern on it with a pen, and then lit it with a spiritual fire, so that the smoke that permeated his body began to divert to the side.
This is a fog-breaking talisman, the grade is not high, but it can barely be used.
With the help of the Mist Breaking Talisman, Liang Chen's vision immediately became clearer.
But when he came to the place where Wantang was before, he didn't see the little girl.
Even Pei Sheng disappeared.
Liang Chen secretly frowned, completely losing his goal.
Something is not right.
The lights that suddenly went out, and the billowing smoke that drifted in the air, could only block Liang Chen's vision, but they couldn't deceive his ears.
Liang Chen felt that his reaction speed was fast enough, and less than twenty breaths had passed since Wantang screamed.
But the other party is gone.
So, what happened in this short twenty breaths?
Liang Chen was about to explore again, but suddenly there were a few more figures around him.
Tang Shishi was born in Orion, and the perception of the five senses was naturally as strong as Liang Chen, so she followed closely and also came to the "birthplace" of the scream.
"What about people?"
Liang Chen shook his head and motioned Tang Shishi to be careful, while the latter simply withdrew the hunting bow in his hand on his back, and instead pinched a piece of rune paper at his fingertips.
Bending the bow and arrows is Tang Shishi's instinct as a hunter.
But the way of the spirit rune is the strongest means for her to kill the enemy now.
After Tang Shishi, Zheng Xuan and Xu Ai also came to Liang Chen's side, full of vigilance.
It can be seen from this that among all the cultivators who participated in the Talisman Appraisal Conference today, the overall quality of the academy disciples was obviously much higher than that of the disciples of other sects, and even those who were loose cultivators.
Qiao Zhuangxian should be guarding the ancient remnant at this time, I don't know if he has ever met the Blood Knife Ancestor.
But Miao Qiuyu, whom Liang Chen cared about the most, did not show up for a long time.
At this moment of lightning, a golden light suddenly rose from the center of the inner hall, like a round of newborn warm sun, bringing new light to this world.
At the same time, the thick smoke and dust in the air also seemed to be attracted by a huge force, and they rushed towards the golden light.
In less than ten breaths, the scene of the entire inner hall was restored to clarity, Qiao Zhuang held a magic weapon shaped like a snuffbox in his hand, and looked at the booth in front of him with a sinking face like Haiti.
The ancient talisman seal that was said to come from the Heavenly Demon Sect Talisman Master, Ye Hua, has disappeared.
The moment the light in front of him came back on, Liang Chen immediately turned around and came to the door of the inner hall, and stopped those scattered cultivators who wanted to run out after being frightened.
His eyes quickly scanned the field, and he didn't find Wantang's figure, but saw Pei Sheng fall into the shadow in the corner with a delightful face.
Miao Qiuyu stood beside Qiao Zhuangxian, with a bright fire in his hand and his eyes full of vigilance.
Outside the gate was crowded with people, and the way out was surrounded by those who watched the bustle, while the doors, windows, and dome of the inner hall were intact, and there was no sign of being invaded or escaped.
Then how did this Blood Knife Ancestor come and how did he leave?
Wantang is such a big living person, how can he say that he will disappear if he can't see it?
Liang Chen had reason to believe that the Blood Knife Ancestor was now hidden in the scattered cultivators in the inner hall, but he had no clue where Wantang had gone.
Liang Chen wanted to ask Pei Sheng what was going on just now, but at this time, as the second highest combat power in the entire inner hall, he didn't dare to act rashly for a while, so he could only honestly guard in front of the door.
"Don't move!"
"Whoever dares to take another step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"
Liang Chen simply took out the Dawn Breaking Sword, and the bright orange light in his body burned rapidly, immediately forming a powerful oppression and deterrence on everyone.
Finally, no one dared to continue swarming in front of the door.
Seeing that the scene was temporarily under control, Liang Chen immediately asked Qiao Zhuangxian, "Senior brother, how are you doing over there?"
Qiao Zhuang picked up the broken array stone on the ground, looked at the terrible knife marks on it, and said in a deep voice: "The information of the Adjudication Division is wrong, and the injury of the Blood Knife Ancestor is probably almost better." ”
Hearing this, Liang Chen's heart couldn't help but sink.
As the initiator of the entire booby trap plan, of course he knew that the Blood Knife Ancestor was a master of the Shocking Yuan Realm.
However, when he entered Cangzhou a few months ago, he was already seriously injured, and he was like a lost dog, chased and killed by the disciples of the major sects and the masters of the Ruling Division.
This is also an important reason why Liang Chen dares to use it as a chess piece.
But if the other party's injuries have healed......
Liang Chen really had a confrontation with the masters of the Astounding Yuan Realm.
Fang Kui of the Fang family that day was a powerhouse in the Amazing Yuan Realm.
At that time, Liang Chen relied on the magic weapon of self-detonation, the home advantage of the Immortal Academy, and the opponent's heart of light at the beginning, so that he was on par with the other party.
In the end, if the three courtyard masters hadn't arrived in time, Liang Chen would probably have been in Fang Kui's hands.
So at this moment, listening to Qiao Zhuangxian's judgment, he immediately understood that he was far from being the opponent of the Blood Knife Ancestor.
But here's the problem......
If the other party really healed from his injuries, with the powerful cultivation of the Shocking Yuan Realm, at least in today's Zeng Mansion, it can definitely be said that it is rampant, and life and death are not taboo, so why bother with it?
Liang Chen subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
However, before he could think about it, a monstrous sea of blood suddenly appeared in front of him!
It happened suddenly.
Liang Chen didn't even see what the person who made the shot looked like, and his whole body was already shrouded in a great terror between life and death.
"Zheng!"
The Daybreak Sword was unsheathed, igniting a terrifying wave of fire in midair.
Burning Sky Flame Sword!
As soon as the terrifying wave of qi and the monstrous sea of blood first met, it bombarded a violent aura storm, directly knocking the group of scattered cultivators standing in front of them to the ground.
Some of those who cultivated more shallowly were simply stunned by this powerful spiritual energy.
The blood water slammed on the body of the Daybreaking Sword, directly extinguishing the flames on it, and the pungent fishy aura was like a harbinger of death, constantly invading Liang Chen's divine sense.
In the face of the unreasonable sneak attack of a dignified powerhouse in the Yuan Realm, Liang Chen was indeed a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the hole cards on his body didn't make any sense, and seeing that the blood wave was about to submerge the Daybreak Sword, Liang Chen's skin suddenly revealed a dark light light.
Heaven and earth are useless!
"Bang!"
At the last moment, Liang Chen actually tried to resist the other party's shocking knife with his physical strength!
Liang Chen is not the Virgin.
Although he knew that if he retreated, the group of scattered cultivators behind him would definitely become the souls of Jing Li's sword, but if his life and death were at stake, he would definitely avoid them without hesitation.
But Liang Chen could clearly feel that the Blood Knife Ancestor's knife was also a little hasty, far less desperate than when he faced Fang Kui at the beginning.
Therefore, Liang Chen wanted to try to delay the footsteps of the Blood Knife Ancestor for a moment.
He was waiting for Qiao Zhuang's help.
But what Liang Chen didn't expect was that it was Tang Shishi who was closest to him who took the first step to shoot the talisman in his hand.
Among all the Luming Academy disciples present today, Tang Shishi's realm is the lowest, and his cultivation time for Fu Dao is the shortest.
But the Nine Shadows Talisman in her hand is as high as five grades.
This was originally handed over to her by Liang Chen before to save her life.
But she never thought that she would ignite it in front of Liang Chen without hesitation at this moment.
With the fierce burning of the Nine Ghost Talismans, a piercing cold suddenly condensed in the air, and in the darkness, there seemed to be a sigh from under the Yellow Spring, gently brushing the terrible blood wave.
The wave paused slightly, as if it was frozen into frost in an instant, and as soon as it touched Liang Chen's wrist, it was directly shattered by the uselessness of heaven and earth.
But behind the stagnant blood wave, a breathtaking sword appeared.
The previous monstrous blood wave was just a supernatural power.
For a swordsman, the real strength is still the knife in his hand.
Liang Chen pinched a spell with one hand, and the rune paper in his sleeve fluttered rapidly, condensing into a fragile rune sword in the air, and then holding the Daybreaking Sword across his chest, turning it into the brightest star in the night sky.
Perhaps no one would have thought that Liang Chen would actually use this method to activate the Seven Stars Hidden Fierce Sword Formation!
However, before the sword array in Liang Chen's hand could take shape, a pair of hands suddenly leaned out from behind him, grabbed his shoulders, and quickly pulled him back.
The terrifying power caused Liang Chen's center of gravity to lose balance in an instant, and he fell to the side unexpectedly.
As a result, a bloodthirsty sword light fell from Liang Chen's eyes, and the scattered cultivators outside the door who had not had time to escape fell to the ground screaming, and then a faint green light burst out of the door, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
"Chase!"
Qiao Zhuang was late, stepped on the talisman fire, and simply pursued in the direction of the Blood Knife Ancestor's escape.
Liang Chen turned his head a little dazedly, as if he wanted to see who the person who had attacked him just now.
But I saw the little maid named Begonia, who was pulling the limping Young Master Pei Sheng from her house, and fled from the window in a panic.
For a while, Liang Chen was confused.
Who the hell is it going to chase now?
