Xu Xingkong followed the fat man all the way out of the city, and an hour later, the two arrived at a mountainous area with lofty peaks and mountains, Xu Xingkong was not familiar with the terrain around Chang'an, but it was probably still in a certain mountain range in the Qinling Mountains.

The fat man stood on an old pine tree on the top of a hill, and there was a pine wave in his ears, and if you had good hearing, you could hear the insects in the grass.

On the other side of the peak, there is a secluded valley with slightly sparse pine trees, revealing some jagged rocks and weeds.

The valley is shady and a little dark, giving people a sense of gloomy atmosphere.

The fat man's heavy body seemed to have no weight, and the pine branch did not have any deformation because he stood on it, Xu Xingkong couldn't help but nod appreciatively, just talking about the fat man's subtle application of spell control, it was indeed the most outstanding one Xu Xingkong had ever seen, and he was worthy of being the master of the Yixue Research Association.

It's a pity that the more powerful this old Taoist priest is, the more harmful he becomes.

The fat man looked at Xu Xingkong playfully and pointed to the small valley below:

"Elder Xu is proficient in the magic circle, can you see what kind of magic circle is underneath?"

Xu Xingkong had already observed for a while, and when he saw the fat man asking, he twitched the corner of his mouth disdainfully and said:

"The positive and negative gossip array, and it is a unique array. ”

The fat man nodded appreciatively, secretly glad at his decision, Xu Xingkong really saw his arrangement at a glance, if he had planned to directly trick Xu Xingkong into the magic circle from the beginning, Xu Xingkong would have started directly at this time:

"Yes, it's the battle, so that we can fight to the death. ”

The fat man said it lightly, and Xu Xingkong's face was also very calm, and the two seemed to be chatting about some parents, rather than discussing life and death.

Generally speaking, the circle will have a life gate, that is, the back door to enter and exit the circle and the normal termination of the circle, while the death array is a circle without a life gate, once this kind of circle is activated, in addition to violently destroying the circle, it can only be terminated until the circle runs out of energy, or the node is consumed to the limit and collapses on its own.

Of course, there is no absolute death array in this world, any magic circle has a natural life gate, and the death circle is a relative concept, but in fact, the design of the magic circle deliberately designed a strange and hidden magic circle evolution rules, so that the life gate is constantly changing and hidden.

Xu Xingkong believes that with the skill of the fat man in front of him, the birth gate of the positive and negative gossip array in the valley is definitely not so easy to find, not to mention, he is not the only one who has entered the formation, this fat man with great bitterness and hatred will definitely not let Xu Xingkong break the formation with peace of mind, so if Xu Xingkong wants to crack this desperate formation, the prerequisite is to kill or capture the Xuanyi Daoist first.

However, Xu Xingkong also had to consider the soul of He Yan, who was pinched in his hands by the Xuanyi Daoist.

The fat man looked at Xu Xingkong with a smile, he was not in a hurry now, anyway, his chips had already been put on the stage, and it was up to Xu Xingkong to make a decision now.

Xu Xingkong didn't seem to have a good decision, he looked at the fat man for a while and didn't make a sound.

"How can I be sure that after entering the magic circle, you will hand over He Yan's soul to me?"

The fat man laughed, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the valley and said:

"First of all, it will take a little time for the magic circle to be fully activated, if I regret it, you can quit, and secondly, in order to show my sincerity, I can enter the formation first, and then put this soul bead on the other side of the magic circle, and you can take it yourself after you enter the formation. ”

The fat man raised the soul bead in his hand, and with Xu Xingkong's eyesight, he could completely see the anxious soul in the soul bead.

Xu Xingkong nodded:

"Yes. ”

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, and he smiled:

"Very good, I'll go down and wait for you. ”

After that, the fat man's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already standing at the heretic in the valley, he raised the soul bead in his hand, and then put it in the depression of a mountain rock at his feet with a smile, and then turned his head and smiled at Xu Xingkong, and then walked in the opposite direction unhurriedly, until he was fifty or sixty meters away before standing still, and then stretched out his hand to make an 'invite' gesture.

Xu Xingkong glanced at the fat man playfully, raised his feet and stepped forward, and the next moment he appeared on the edge of the mountain rock where the soul beads were placed.

But the moment Xu Xingkong appeared on the side of the mountain rock, the scenery around him suddenly changed, the original valley grass and trees disappeared, and there was only a fog in front of him, the fog was very thick, and he couldn't even see his feet when he lowered his head.

Xu Xingkong was shocked, the magic circle had already completed the activation and entered a stable period, theoretically speaking, this is impossible, of course, theory has always been used to negate.

Xu Xingkong understood after a little thought, this must have something to do with the node magic weapons that arranged the magic circle, if these magic weapons are high-level spiritual weapons that have been cultivated for a long time, and at the same time, the Xuanyi Dao people pay a little price when they activate the magic circle, they can suppress the operation of the magic circle first, and let themselves mistakenly think that the magic circle has not been fully activated.

On the other hand, because the positive and negative Bagua Arrays are two independent and related magic arrays, Xuanyi Daoist skillfully used the outer anti-Bagua Array to interfere with Xu Xingkong's judgment of the operation of the inner circle.

Xu Xingkong had to admit that the old Taoist priest in front of him was really a good opponent.

However, when Xu Xingkong looked at the soul bead that he held in his hand as soon as he entered the formation, he felt that his evaluation just now was wrong, and it was better for this fat man to die immediately.

The soul bead itself is a cyan opaque spiritual weapon, if it is incorporated into the soul, the soul bead will show a kind of spiritual energy, but now the soul bead in Xu Xing's empty hand is rapidly turning black, not only is there no trace of agility, under the real vision, the soul bead's spirit is rapidly dissipating, and even the spirit structure has disintegrated.

Xu Xingkong scratched his head and said:

"Xuanyi Daoist, you are looking for death!"

"Ahaha... I was originally looking for death, but now I think the one who should die is you!"

Xu Xingkong casually threw away the broken soul bead, shook his head and said:

"I'm a lot older, and I don't pay attention to things at all, do you still want to order Bilian?"

"I don't even plan to ask for my life, what are you going to do with your face, besides, I don't have more face when that girl dies, and you are watching her soul fly away, haha..."

Xu Xingkong sneered faintly, and a faint killing intent quietly melted into the dense fog around him.

It was not that the Xuanyi Daoist didn't want to take advantage of Xu Xingkong's spiritual wavering to launch an attack when He Yan's soul was scattered, but the Xuanyi Daoist was surprised to find that even in the array he had carefully arranged, he still couldn't accurately capture Xu Xingkong's location, and this discovery made Xuanyi Daoist feel a chill in his heart.

You must know that this magic circle is the most popular magic circle of Xuanyi Dao people, and it is still the high-level array flag passed down to him by the master, these thirty-six array flags are said to have been passed down from ancient times, and Xuanyi Dao people have been steadily cultivating for decades, which can hide Xu Xingkong from luring them into the array.

If others have studied the positive and negative Bagua Array for decades and can exert the power of the magic circle to more than eighty percent, the Xuanyi Daoist is confident that with the help of this set of array flags, he can exert the power of the magic circle to more than ninety percent and five, supplemented by the power of the dragon vein here, and even the power of the magic circle can be exerted by twelve points.

But under the superposition of heavy bonuses, the Xuanyi Daoist still couldn't control Xu Xingkong who entered the formation, and the Xuanyi Daoist couldn't help but be a little panicked, could it be that the new spell theory mastered by Xu Xingkong could be immune to the threat of the traditional magic circle?!

If this is the case, maybe all his calculations will be in vain, but unfortunately, in order to avoid being used by Xu Xingkong, this positive and negative gossip array is really a desperate formation, even if the Xuanyi Daoist himself will not want to find the place where the life gate is repeatedly hidden by himself for a while, otherwise, the Xuanyi Daoist may choose to escape at this time.

Xu Xingkong's voice came from the thick fog, and his tone was indifferent, but the Xuanyi Daoist could hear the killing intent in it, but the content of what Xu Xingkong said made the Xuanyi Daoist very entangled, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

"Not only is your old Taoist character not good, but your eyes are not very good, do you think that what you just obtained is really He Yan's soul? Speaking of playing with souls, you are really not as good as me, could it be that you forgot that you lost to me last time?"

Xuanyi Daoist frowned, recalling the feeling of extracting He Yan's soul before, to be honest, he really didn't distinguish it carefully, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that he can't be sure whether it is a real soul, or whether it is a fake as Xu Xingkong said.

However, the fat man figured it out in the blink of an eye:

"Hehe, it's true or not, anyway, now that you and I are in this desperate situation, we can only go out one, if it's fake, then I'll kill it again. ”

"Haha... What should I say about you, you are also an old-timer, you are so naïve, I really don't know how you lived to this age, haven't you ever thought about why I want to get a fake soul for you?"

Xuanyi Daoist was stunned for a moment, and then a cool breath came out from the depths of his soul.

Trap!!It must be a trap!!

Xuanyi Daoist understood in an instant, although Xuanyi Daoren was not completely clear about Xu Xingkong's methods, but at least he knew that Xu Xingkong had mastered the terrible spell of deep consciousness trap, therefore, in order to deal with this spell, Xuanyi Daoist combined the secret transmission of the Qingcheng faction with the results of the Yixue Research Association, and carefully created a pure spirit weapon to protect the Yuan Shen, plus its own Yuan Shen purity, which blocked Xu Xingkong's sneak attack.

In fact, Xu Xingkong wanted to carry out the plot at the reception venue, he was very clear, and he was quite proud that Xu Xingkong did not succeed, and even when extracting He Yan's soul, the Xuanyi Daoist also cautiously used the soul bead as a medium, and the method used was also a standard magic circle spell, which would not be in direct contact with He Yan's soul, which was also a major reason why the Xuanyi Daoist did not carefully distinguish the truth of He Yan's soul on the spot.

But, but...

Just now, when the Xuanyi Daoist was doing tricks and feet in the soul bead, he was worried that Xu Xingkong would discover the fluctuation of the soul spirit, so he used his own Yuan Shen power to disintegrate the magic circle structure of the soul bead, that is to say, for a moment, the Xuanyi Daoist may have come into contact with the soul in the soul bead.

If that soul is a hidden trap, maybe, maybe you've already been tricked!

Thinking of this, the fat man's back felt a chill, and when he contacted himself in the most familiar magic circle, he couldn't lock Xu Xingkong, and the fat man couldn't help but suspect, maybe this was the interference caused by the invasion of the Yuan Shen?

In the blink of an eye, the fat man's mind was so busy that he forgot to react to Xu Xingkong's words for a while.
