Chapter 56: The Realm of Illusions
At the moment when Mu Linyuan took Changning away, Xiao Zhan's face changed slightly, he swung his long sword continuously, and slashed five or six tide monsters in a row, and after rushing out of the encirclement, he quickly turned back to the cabin, and Changning, who was sealed and cultivated by him in the cabin, was gone, he turned to look at the bronze mirror, and the boy and spirit beast in the mirror were gone!
"Young master, has someone been here?" The subordinates followed in and were surprised to see that everyone was gone.
"Let's go!" Xiao Zhan made a decision immediately, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this is the territory of the Taishang Sect, Xiao Zhan doesn't want to fight with Mu Linyuan here. Who else can save people so quickly and stand still? If it was Cangfeng, he would have made a move, but Mu Linyuan should not have asked Cangfeng to come forward. The customary rule of the various sects in Central Continent is that monks with high cultivation are not allowed to take action against monks with low cultivation without authorization, and monks above the age of Yuan Ying cannot make moves at will, otherwise the various sects will be chaotic.
Especially between the Heavenly Dao and the Taishang Sect and the Taibai Sword Sect, the battles between the disciples of the True Inheritance are endless, and the elders rarely ask about it. This is the three factions using each faction's disciples to hone their true disciples, and those who can stay until the end are the elites that the sect needs. People like Mu Linyuan and Xiao Zhan, who aspire to become the head of the Nether Realm, if they don't have great merits, how can they serve the public in the future?
The subordinates didn't ask much, he was used to following Xiao Zhan's instructions, both of them were in the Jindan period, cultivation was not suppressed, and the flying sword escaped thousands of miles, but no matter where he went, there were always huge waves to follow, and the demon beasts in the sea went forward and followed, Xiao Zhan pressed the sword and did not move, his light-colored eyes gradually deepened, looking around, the long sword flew, the sword light flashed, and the demon beasts around them were ambushed by millions of corpses in an instant, bleeding and drifting, but soon the demon beasts surged up like a tide.
"Mu Linyuan!" He shouted out the name of his rival word by word, but he didn't expect this person to have this hand! The two have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and they have never seen him show this hand, and they didn't expect that for that girl, he even showed his hole cards.
And in the clouds above the two, Mu Linyuan hugged Changning and looked down at the two of them scurrying like headless flies, and saw the little girl in his arms looking at the scene with excitement, her face turned red, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, the sea breeze blew gently, and the clothes of the two moved slightly.
Changning saw that no matter how Xiao Zhan went, he could only circle around a radius of fifty miles, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, so he had to teach this pervert a good lesson! "Senior brother, what is this? Is it a formation? ”
"It's a combination of formation and illusion." Mu Linyuan asked her to sit down, "You stay here and don't move." ”
"Okay." Changning really sat motionless on the flying magic weapon, and her well-behaved appearance made Mu Linyuan touch her head lovingly, seeing that her face was pale, and her heart was even more angry. He turned to leave, and was about to draw his sword when he saw a touch of red on his fingertips, a faint smell of rust, and a little sweetness...... He hesitated for a moment, and his fingertips surged with aura, and he condensed the blood into a ball of blood and put it away.
"Young master, something is wrong here, is it an illusion?" Xiao Zhan's subordinates are also in the Jindan period, the situation is so weird, he also sensed that something is wrong, these demon beasts have no intelligence at all, they only know how to fight hard, and each demon beast will only have one attack method, this is definitely not a real demon beast.
"It's not just a fantasy." Xiao Zhan said coldly, "These demon beasts are not illusions, this is the evolution of the Taisuo Sect's true secret Taisu Duo Treasure Recipe, it really deserves to be-Mu Linyuan!" He slashed a sword at a certain point, but there was a sword light faster than him, and it slashed towards the two of them with the momentum of thunder.
The sword momentum came from all directions, Xiao Zhan couldn't avoid it, kicked away his subordinates, and took the sword stiffly, his body shook, and he swallowed the blood that almost gushed out, he shouted: "Mu Linyuan, you will only be such a sneak attacker who hides his head and tail?" ”
"As long as I can kill you." The clear voice sounded from all directions, making people completely unable to distinguish the direction of the person who made the sound, as soon as his voice fell, the demon beasts became more and more crazy, one by one, they seemed to rush towards them, and they didn't wait for the two to shoot back and start to blow themselves up, after a long time, the two of them were a little weak to deal with.
Hearing Mu Linyuan's words, Xiao Zhan sneered, "Then let's see if you have the ability!" His body shook, and the demon beast was cut down by him before the sword light exploded, and the demon beast turned into wisps of essence and infiltrated into Xiao Zhan's body, and Xiao Zhan's demeanor became more and more calm.
Mu Linyuan slammed, the long sword moved, and the sword momentum once again overwhelmingly covered Xiao Zhan, different from the calm and atmospheric sword momentum when teaching Changning, Mu Linyuan's real swordsmanship was domineering and broken, and he didn't give anyone a way out at all. The two met in a narrow way, and at first they could still see some figures clearly, but after a while, they saw two cold lights entangled together, and Changning was dizzy after looking at it for a while, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Xiao Zhan's subordinates wanted to help, but he didn't know where to start, the battle between the two was no longer something he could interfere with, so he could only kill some demon beasts for Xiao Zhan, Changning wanted to sneak attack this person, but remembering that he was also in the Jindan period, he didn't dare to act rashly, she was afraid of distracting the senior brother. The environment in the illusion changes again and again, from huge waves to landslides and cracks, the only thing that remains unchanged is the overwhelming demon beasts, Mu Linyuan is not in love with war, and he retreats from war with Xiao Zhan, he is at ease, but Xiao Zhan gradually feels that his true qi is a little unable to keep up.
Xiao Zhan has the secret technique of replenishing the heavens, and he can temporarily forcibly absorb the essence of the outside world to consume it for himself, but this is tantamount to drinking a donkey to quench his thirst, it is okay for a short time, but after a long time, his meridians and dantian can't hold it, and he can even faintly feel a faint pain in his meridian tiger's mouth. Xiao Zhan knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, and he had to do his best to find out the flaws in the formation, otherwise Mu Linyuan would take his own life sooner or later.
Xiao Zhan's attainments in the formation are not low, but he can't find a flaw in this formation, Mu Linyuan retreats from time to time, and often attacks him with the help of illusions, Xiao Zhan suffers a lot of losses, and after half an hour, the magic clothes on his body are torn, and he has completely lost the demeanor of an immortal before. Xiao Zhancheng's mansion is deep, and he can still keep his voice out, but his subordinates can't hold it anymore, "Young master, do you see the flaws in the formation?" "His injuries were even more serious, and blood gushed in many places, and he didn't have time to bandage it, so he could only take a few healing pills at will.
Xiao Zhan shook his head, there must be flaws in the formation, and there must be weaknesses in the illusion, but Mu Linyuan's formation and illusion are natural, as if the innate formation, but Xiao Zhan quickly rejected this speculation, there is absolutely no innate formation near the sea market, otherwise it would have been occupied by the Beihai Dragon Palace, where could it be possible for the human race to set up a market here.
On cultivation for Mu Linyuan and Xiao Zhan are on par, Xiao Zhan has a helper who is also in the Jindan period, if Mu Linyuan didn't take advantage of the time and place, he wouldn't be able to make the two of them so wolf, this illusion belongs to Mu Linyuan's own talent, unless the cultivation is several times higher than his own, otherwise the two will definitely not be able to break through, Mu Linyuan is not in a hurry, and slowly consumes Xiao Zhan's strength.
Changning sat on the cloud head with bright eyes and watched the senior brother deal with the two Jindan monks for a long time, the senior brother is too powerful! Changning thought about it, took out a piece of jade pendant, and wanted to record this battle, whether it was Senior Brother or Xiao Zhan or that dogleg, the body swordsmanship and technique were unique, she could refer to it more.
"Bang!" A muffled explosion sounded, and Changning felt that the place where he was trembled, "What's going on?" She subconsciously stood up.
"Bang!" There was another sound, this time the sound was even more powerful, Changning was a little unsteady in Yuntou, and she hurriedly sat down cross-legged.
"He'er, are you alright?" Mu Linyuan also noticed the sound, and his first reaction was to come to Changning.
"Senior brother, what's going on?" Changning asked with concern.
"Someone is attacking the formation from the outside." Mu Linyuan said.
"What then?" Changning was stunned for a moment, "Senior brother, does that person's attack have a great impact on the formation?" ”
Mu Linyuan frowned, "The impact is not enough, I am afraid that Xiao Zhan will find a flaw in the formation." "This illusion is Mu Linyuan's talent that only awakened after entering the Jindan period, he has never used it in front of people, one is to use it as his hole card, and the other is that this magic power is currently quite restricted, and the effect may not be the best when temporarily facing the enemy, and when he advances to the Yuan infant stage, the effect of this magic power should be better. Mu Linyuan will use it this time, but also to be able to save Changning safely, of course, if there is no delay in Changning during that time, he will not have time to arrange this place, when the boat of the two starts, the boat has already entered his illusion.
"Senior brother, I'll go out and have a look." Changning volunteered.
"No, you just stay." Mu Linyuan vetoed it, how could he let this little girl take risks, "Don't worry, this formation is not so easy to break." He said, but the demon beasts in the illusion surged more and more violently, and some began to explode before they even took shape.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan's heart moved, and he shouted to his subordinates: "You deal with them first!" He flew up and slashed directly towards the vibration, the sword light was stopped by Mu Linyuan halfway through, Xiao Zhan looked at Mu Linyuan with a complicated expression, "Mu Linyuan, I really underestimated you, this is not a formation at all, it is your domain." ”
Mu Linyuan's expression did not move, "When you die, I will tell you what kind of place this is!" ”
Xiao Zhan said: "If you really cultivate the realm, I will definitely not be able to escape, but it's a pity that the illusion realm you can arrange now is at most worth a formation, and it will be more difficult to kill me!" As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and a cyan thunder bead the size of a canopy was thrown towards the vibration, and his sword peak pointed at Mu Linyuan, preventing him from grabbing the thunder bead.
Mu Linyuan smiled faintly, "You can try to see if I can kill you." ”
As soon as Mu Linyuan's words fell, the vibration in the phantom realm became more and more violent, and the waves rushing to the sky were head-on, black as ink, and the two of them were slightly stained with seawater, and a sneer sounded, and Xiao Zhan and the two could only hold up a circle of spiritual light to protect themselves. Xiao Zhan threw out a few more thunder beads, and the explosion power of those thunder beads was not small, blowing up the sea water, but it was not enough to affect the illusion.
He gritted his teeth, and one of his left eyes turned red again, and finally the whole eye turned red, and blood slipped down his eye socket - "Explode there!" After Xiao Zhan wasted one of his eyes, he finally found a place where his aura was weaker than elsewhere, and he snorted at his subordinates, entangled Mu Linyuan again.
Changning jumped to his feet in a hurry, wanting to stop it, but he was afraid of helping, and secretly hated in his heart, this person was so shameless, he was actually two to one!
Mu Linyuan's body shook, a sword slashed towards his subordinates, the sword light was cold, the subordinate couldn't avoid it, and Mu Linyuan cut off his right arm with a sword, he grabbed a handful to stop the bleeding and scattered it to the wound, and raised the sword in his left hand to cut the flaw. Mu Linyuan didn't kill that person with one blow, nor did he take advantage of the victory to pursue, but concentrated on dealing with Xiao Zhan, but his sword momentum had a strong killing intent.
Without the sea beasts that his subordinates were blocking the attack for himself, Xiao Zhan dealt with Mu Linyuan on the one hand, and the demon beasts on the other, and he was a little careless, when Mu Linyuan Sword Peak slashed his right arm again, he finally snorted lightly, and a phantom shook out of his body, and the phantom quickly turned from virtual to real, and his appearance and demeanor were the same as Xiao Zhan's, and even the aura around his body was exactly the same.
"Is this your doppelganger?" Mu Linyuan asked with interest, it seems that not only he played his hole cards today, Xiao Zhan also revealed his hole cards, it is not easy for monks to refine their bodies, and they will not take it lightly when they are idle, as long as they are in a crisis, they will let their bodies die instead of themselves.
Xiao Zhan closed his eyes and was silent, the blood on his body soared into the sky, every time his sword momentum was slashed, several blood shadows flew out, as long as the blood shadow was stained on the demon beast, the demon beast instantly turned into ashes, and the essence on his body was absorbed by Xiao Zhan.
Mu Linyuan said: "You inhale the true qi so indiscriminately, are you really not afraid of breaking your own golden pill?" "The Heavenly Dao cultivator can absorb the essence of others, but there must also be a limit to absorption, and if you break through that limit, you will be lucky if the meridians are damaged, and if the golden pill is broken, you will have to rebuild.
Xiao Zhan said coldly: "Before I break through, I will definitely kill you!" His only remaining normal eye also began to turn red, Mu Linyuan was secretly vigilant, Xiao Zhan's body shook, and a left arm actually retreated from him, "Bang! His left arm burst open, blood splattered, and his person disappeared in an instant.
Mu Linyuan was startled, and his divine sense swept through the illusion, and he found that he had rushed to the flaw he had seen before. The subordinate saw Xiao Zhan coming over with blood-red eyes, and retreated to the side in shame, Xiao Zhan knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, Mu Linyuan had time to delay, he didn't have time! He pulled his subordinates away from the distance.
Mu Linyuan: We will definitely settle this account in the future! Xiao Zhan said viciously in his heart, he is a person who is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself, while the two of them pushed away, Xiao Zhan's split body turned red and pounced on the flaw, and the aura around him was absorbed by his split body in an instant.
Mu Linyuan stood in the distance and watched this scene, frowned, turned around and picked up Changning, stepped out of the illusion in one step, at the moment when he cut off the connection with the illusion, a loud bang sounded from the illusion, the illusion was completely shattered, a blood-red escape light passed away like light at the same time, Mu Linyuan saw the escape light again, and surprise flashed in his eyes, this does not seem to be an ordinary blood escape, ordinary blood escape is not so fast.
"Senior brother, are you alright?" Changning asked softly and quietly, looking at the blood oozing from the corners of Mu Linyuan's lips with some trepidation.
Mu Linyuan found that he was bleeding through Changning's eyes, he smiled slightly, and wiped away the blood at will, "I'm fine, it's just a pity that Xiao Zhan escaped." But Mu Linyuan can be sure that Xiao Zhan's injury must be heavier than himself, just two blood escapes, his two arms will be useless, whether his eye can be saved is still a question, and he has also been abolished...... Mu Linyuan thought that he had wasted a fantasy and forced Xiao Zhan to play all his hole cards, and the depression in his heart suddenly alleviated a lot.
"If you escape, you will escape, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and the senior brother will be fine." Changning said nonchalantly, "He is good to his subordinates." Changning thought that this kind of pervert should be a person who abandoned his subordinates and only wanted to survive.
Mu Linyuan, "Of course you have to save it, otherwise who will be willing to work for you in the future?" This man has this time, and he will surely repay it with his life in the future. ”
Changning said tangledly: "I think this kind of subordinate, it's useless to repay with your life......" She just watched it on the side for a long time, and she didn't think that the subordinate had any ability, and he could deal with some demon beasts, and he also needed Xiao Zhan to protect, the only time he faced the senior brother head-on, and he was cut off half of his body by the senior brother with a sword, which was really useless.
Mu Linyuan was amused by the little girl and laughed, he hugged the little girl lovingly, the body in his arms was light, soft and hot, as fresh as a flame...... He stroked her hair gently.
Changning looked at the senior brother who suddenly stopped speaking in confusion, the senior brother was really not injured? Mu Linyuan smiled suddenly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed a long sword between his two fingers, and with a little force under his fingers, the long sword that was stabbed was snatched down by Mu Linyuan and thrown to the ground.
Changning turned his head and saw a woman with an elegant face looking at the senior brother angrily, "Mu Linyuan, did you kill my Zhan Lang?" ”
