As the night wore on, the trees around them shook in the bitter cold wind, and the heavy snow on the bare branches was shaken off from time to time, falling down in a sprinkling manner, merging with the snow-white earth, and they could no longer distinguish from each other.

Li Changjing took Xu Huairou and Lu Li to slowly retreat, the forest they were currently in was dominated by poplar and spruce trees, and in the distance beyond the reach of their eyesight, the umbrella-like spruce trees were like unknown giants standing in the dark, as if they would come to life at any time, giving people a very heavy sense of oppression.

Just now, Li Changjing and the three of them chased the footprints all the way, but when they came to the front, the footprints suddenly became very messy, and the area involved was very large, almost a large area around them were trampled through, and there were even traces of being swept by branches in many places.

"Brother Li, do you smell a smell of cinnabar?" Lu Li sniffed softly in the air with his nose.

"Smelled." Li Changjing nodded, usually when refining pills, it is necessary to add a little cinnabar to set the pill, so the alchemist is very familiar with cinnabar, he thought it was his own illusion just now, but he didn't expect that even Lu Li could smell it.

"Where did the cinnabar come from in this wilderness and snowy mountains?" Xu Huairou frowned, the strong smell of humidity in the air and the earthy smell in the woods made her very uncomfortable.

Li Changjing lowered her head, and then carefully helped her tuck her collar and patted the snowflakes off her head, then made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Don't speak, look ahead." ”

Xu Huairou's heart tightened, and he looked along his line of sight, through the bright moonlight, and immediately found that under a few elm trees in front of him, a snow-white animal came out, almost connected with the snow, and the two furry tails continued to rise and fall with the run, which was the Nine Heavens Snow Fox that ran out of the manor just now.

Xu Huairou was pleasantly surprised, "It's really crooked, you actually met that fox here, you surnamed Li hurry up and catch it." ”

"Miss Xu, don't worry, it's not that simple." Lu Li pointed in the direction where the fox came in just now, and said softly, "Someone is coming." ”

Xu Huairou looked over along his gesture in disbelief, and sure enough, she found that a man and a woman were trotting in, and when they got closer, they saw that the man was dressed in a gorgeous costume, wearing a crown of hair, and his face was handsome; The female peach and plum years are petite and delicate, but the posture is delicate, with a ring-shaped crystal earring in her left ear, which is none other than Na Yanjun and his maidservant Xiaozi.

"Look, Childe, that beast is right in front." Xiao Zi's eyes were happy, and he pointed to the snow fox that was curled up motionless on the snow, and walked up quickly.

Yan Jun's eyes were not on the snow fox, but looked left and right, looking at the surrounding trees, and after a while, his handsome face showed a knowing expression, and took a few steps forward, as if he had something to say to his maidservant, but hesitated, still did not speak, and even took a few steps back, hiding behind a tree.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The maidservant Xiaozi had already walked to the snow fox's side and reached out to catch it.

But at this moment, a circle of pale blue light suddenly rose on the surrounding snow, distributed in the shape of a gossip, like a huge cage, enveloping the snow fox and Xiaozi together.

Xiao Zi's face changed greatly, she couldn't care about the snow fox anymore, her feet tapped twice on the snow, and her petite body jumped several meters high, wanting to jump out of the blue circle, but when her body touched the blue light like the enchantment, it seemed to be hit by a huge force, and the whole person flew out upside down, fell heavily into the snow, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, dozens or hundreds of blue sword shadows began to appear in the hoop, shooting straight towards Xiao Zi at a fierce and domineering speed.

As a cultivator of the third order, Xiao Zi was able to dodge the attacks of those sword shadows at first, but gradually began to be powerless, coupled with the extremely large number of sword shadows, they attacked in all directions, and there was no way to defend at all, Xiao Zi's petite body was quickly scarred by the sharp sword shadows, and the blood flowed, and even the two silver hairpins used to fix the hair were shot down to the ground, and the green silk on his head could not be restrained, pouring down like a waterfall.

"This is the Ten Thousand Swords Formation of the Imperial Palace." Li Changjing looked at Xiao Zi, who was embarrassed to avoid in the blue circle, and his expression was a little strange.

Xiao Zi's position was exactly where they started to retreat just now, but fortunately he sensed that something was wrong and left early, otherwise it would be them who were on the way.

"Did you find out, that Yan Jun already knew that there was danger just now, but he still didn't remind his maidservant, and he clearly wanted her to go to the thunder." Xu Huairou snorted, a look of disgust in her eyes.

Lu Li said anxiously: "Brother Li, can you think of a way, if you continue like this, that little purple girl will die." ”

"What do you say?" Xu Huairou said angrily: "That formation is so powerful, what if the person surnamed Li can't get in and out?" ”

"But......" Lu Li stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I'll go and come back." Li Changjing let go of Xu Huairou's hand, stood up, and disappeared in place in a flash.

Xu Huairou didn't have time to persuade, so she had to stand up and glared at Lu Li angrily: "Look at you, so sympathetic is overflowing, if something happens to the surnamed Li, I will only ask!" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Li never does anything that he is not sure of." Lu Li was full of confidence in Li Changjing, and when he saw that Xu Huairou's fur coat had fallen off a little, he hurriedly reminded: "Miss Xu, you are not in good health, pay more attention to keeping warm." ”

"You don't have to." Xu Huairou snorted, tightened her collar, and then went to see the situation in front.

Li Changjing's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed outside the formation, he carefully looked at this gossip-like blue circle, nodded thoughtfully, and then raised his foot and stepped into it.

As soon as he came in, the sword shadow in the enchantment immediately began to attack him, Li Changjing was not afraid, and cast the Vajra glass body, the sword shadow crashed into him, making a "clanging" sound of gold and iron intersecting, sparks flew everywhere, but it could not cause the slightest damage to him, inch by inch cracked, turning into powdery blue light and floating to the ground.

Li Changjing came to Xiao Zi's side and found that she was injured all over her body, especially her left shoulder and back, which had pierced a bloody hole in the sword shadow, which was simply shocking.

"Come, this is Huayuan Dan, which can cure your external injuries." Li Changjing took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to her, and at the same time used his arm to help her resist the sword shadow shot from her head.

"Nothing to do, hard work, uneasy and kind."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zi didn't appreciate it, pushed away his medicine bottle, took out a bottle of Huayuan Pill from his pocket, took out one and took it.

Li Changjing didn't care, took back the medicine bottle, and continued to shoot down those sword shadows with his colorful arms.

In fact, Li Changjing is very familiar with this 'Ten Thousand Swords Formation of the Palace', which was originally obtained from Zhang Chunqiu's hand "Brief Formation Summary", which clearly records this formation, which belongs to the category of both offense and defense, and the power is linked to the strength of the person who arranges the formation and the materials used.

Li Changjing raised his head, looked at the sword shadows crisscrossing the sky above his head, and said in his heart that he would wait for the formation to dissipate by itself, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream, but fortunately, the strength of the person who arranged the formation was not high, at most it was only to the extent of detachment, if it was a person with higher strength, he was afraid that even the King Kong glass body would not be able to parry.

Li Changjing had already recited the formation briefly, knowing that this palace ten thousand sword array was arranged in the form of nine palace gossip, and the angle of the gossip corresponded to the opening, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, and surprise of Qimen Dunjia, but all the formations, then in addition to the formation that maintains the operation of the formation, there will be an exit within the eight directions, which is the "birth gate" as the saying goes, also called a glimmer of life.

Of course, in addition to the Birth Gate, the other seven gates are all extremely dangerous, especially the Shock Gate and the Death Gate, which contain almost half of the power of the formation, if you unfortunately choose these two gates, then it will attract the most violent attack of the entire formation.

Li Changjing's sense of direction has always been very good, even in the face of a steady stream of sword shadows, he still quickly distinguished the formation of the formation, and clearly concluded that Shengmen was located in the southwest corner where the sword shadows were most dense, his eyes flashed, and he punched out in that direction, and the surging yuan force immediately condensed into a huge fist mark with golden light, and all those flying sword shadows were broken with one punch.

At the same time, Li Changjing grabbed Xiao Zi's shoulders and threw it hard to the southwest corner, under the cover of Fu Hu Fist, Xiao Zi really broke away from the formation safely and soundly, and fell to the ground outside the blue circle, stained with snowflakes all over his face.

"The eyes of this formation are quite interesting." Li Changjing took a few steps forward, grabbed the back of the snow fox that was curled up on the ground and didn't move, and lifted it up, and said with a smile: "Did you say yes?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, behind the tree not far from his left hand, two slender figures immediately came out, standing outside the formation on both sides, looking at Li Changjing expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Li Changjing, you have passed the review and can come out." ”
