Ma Xie was at the top of the cliff at the moment, and at his feet was the black earth burning with fire, and in the flames, there were many ghosts and monsters, and from time to time there was a terrifying roar, which was the voice of the evil ghosts from hell.

"Why don't you see them in Ledeburg?" Ma Xie looked around, but didn't notice the Ledeburg group who had come in before.

So Ma Xie decided to look for Qi Jun first, because Qi Jun might not know that he was in danger, so he wanted to take Qi Jun out of here.

With his own memory, Ma Xie recalled that Qi Jun should be in the lower left corner of the whole painting, Qi Jun is timid by nature, in such a terrifying area, he will not run around.

Ma Xie jumped off the cliff and wanted to land quietly, but who knew that he found that he couldn't use the aura, and fell to the ground with a "boom".

"What's going on!There's no way to use aura here!" Ma Xie felt bad in his heart, but he thought about it, this was not a good thing.

His physical strength had already far exceeded the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and he should have reached the level of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, so in a world where he could not use aura, he could exert stronger strength instead.

However, Ma Xie also knew very well that Ledebao was a cultivator at the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, a cultivator who had passed the "Dragon and Tiger Pass" and was in the "Water and Fire Pass", his physical body had already been tempered to the extreme, and he already had the power of the dragon and tiger, and Ma Xie knew that he was not the opponent of Ledebao by relying solely on his physical body.

"I still have to be careful, my physical body is strong, but it's not enough to defeat a cultivator of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, it's just that the gap between him and him has narrowed a little, and he can't use the aura of heaven and earth, which should make me a little easier. Ma Xie quickly calculated the gap between him and Ledeburgh in his mind.

If you can't use the aura of heaven and earth, then Ledebao can't use your spiritual power to perceive the surrounding situation, which is a huge advantage that Ma Xie can carry out actions.

Ma Xie observed the surrounding terrain, tried his best to recall the full map of the painting "Geographical Shock" that he had seen, and then determined his location.

Centered on the black cliffs, at the foot of Ma Xie is a long river flowing from west to east, and to the south is a dense forest, and on his west is a cliff that cannot be climbed.

Therefore, what is in front of Ma Xie is to go east along the river, or to go south through the Black Forest.

"Qi Jun should be at the back of this forest. Ma Xie thought, "I hope he doesn't go away." ”

As soon as he walked into the forest, Ma Xie felt that his eyes were dark, he could no longer see the light outside, and the only light source in the forest was the green flames that jumped under the big trees.

In such an environment, it is easy for the horse evil to be hung by the branches of trees, which are not ordinary wood, but steel as sharp as knives.

Ma Xie stroked the trunk of the tree with his hand, only to find that the trees here were all made of steel!

In such an environment, Ma Xie only advanced hundreds of meters, and dozens of cuts had been cut by these sharp blades on his body.

Obviously, these "blades" are not ordinary steel, they can actually cut through the flesh as hard as Ma Xie.

Ma Xie laughed at himself: "It turns out that I am far from invulnerability." ”

If it was outside, ordinary swords and guns would have been unable to hurt Ma Xie for a long time, and his skin would have been like a thin layer of iron under the tempering of the aura, if it were not for a cultivator above the same level, using a divine weapon infused with aura, he would not be able to hurt Ma Xie at all.

But now, his body was scratched by a few branches, and Ma Xie felt like he had become a mortal in a trance.

However, this made Ma Xie regain a familiar feeling, he grew up in the forest, and he was very familiar with such a situation.

The horse evil cat leaned down, his ears raised his attention, and his eyes used every beat of the ghost fire to remember the scene ahead.

Improving concentration, using instinct, that's the best thing the forest has given him.

Everything was silent, and only his own footsteps and breathing could be heard in the forest, but Ma Xie was still vigilant around him, and according to his experience, the quieter it was, the more danger would creep in.

Sure enough, he noticed something unusual.

These ghostly fires do not appear under every tree, but always recur in several trees around him.

"Pretend to be a ghost!" Ma Xie realized that the enemy had already lurked around him, and that was the ghost fire under these trees.

However, Ma Xie did not move, he didn't know exactly what these ghost fires were and what kind of attacks they would launch, so Ma Xie continued to move forward and wait and see what happened.

Ma Xie went deeper and deeper into the forest, and his eyes could see more.

But Ma Xie clearly knew that it was not that he had adapted to the dark environment, but that there were more and more ghost fires around him.

"Fortunately, I noticed the anomalies of these ghost fires early, otherwise I would have thought that my eyes had adapted to the darkness and ignored the dangers around me. Ma Xie thought in his heart.

Sure enough, when these ghostly fires gathered to a certain number, they finally began to act.

The ghost fire gradually gathered together and formed a skull, closely following behind Ma Xie.

Ma Xie didn't notice that behind him, there was a huge and strange green head floating.

The skull floated like a balloon behind Ma Xie's head, and from time to time it stretched out a green tongue of fire on Ma Xie's hair.

A scorching smell reached Ma Xie's nose.

"What's on fire?" Ma Xie stopped.

He sniffed it carefully, and it seemed to be a smell of burnt hair.

"Bastard!" Ma Xie instantly understood the source of the smell.

His left hand stretched out, and a black hilt appeared from his left palm, and Ma Xie's right hand grabbed the black hilt, pulling the Overlord Flowing Fire out of his arm.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Ma Xie slashed backwards, and with a sword, he split the skeleton behind him in half.

"Hee-hee-hee!" came an eerie laugh from the green skull's mouth.

The skull hadn't been split in half, they were just a cloud of burning gas, and Ma Xie's splitting trick didn't work.

Ma Xie looked at the huge skull and knew that he had encountered a very difficult opponent.

The skull floated in the air, a horrible and ugly smile on its face.

"Hehehehe, you can't beat me!" the skull actually spat out and mocked Ma Xie.

Ma Xie was a little angry in his heart, but he was helpless.

No matter how sharp a sword is, how can it cut through a ball of flame?

The green skulls suddenly dispersed into countless ghost fires, and one by one they rushed towards Ma Xie.

These ghost fires were extremely fast, and they hit Ma Xie one after another.

However, to Ma Xie's surprise, after these ghost fires hit him, they didn't cause any damage to his body, but only dispersed into green lights.

"What the hell?" Ma Xie couldn't figure out what the skull was trying to do.

"Hee-hee-hee...... You can't stop ......," the skull said again.

"What the hell are you talking about! Your fire doesn't hurt me at all! Why can't I stop it!" Ma Xie was a little unconvinced in his heart, is this guy every brain? So many ghost fires are blocked by his own body, and he still says that I can't stop it?

"Zizi ......" Ma Xie heard a small sound, and then another scorching smell came.

"Hahaha!" the earth dog hair, the earth dog jumps high!" the skull suddenly laughed.

Only then did Ma Xie know that although this ghost fire could not cause any damage to his body, it could scorch his head!

Looking at the smug expression on the skull's face, Ma Xie became angry and raised his long sword to slash at the skull.

But no matter how he wielded the long sword, the green skull was just scattered and reunited by him, and he kept laughing at Ma Xie: "You can't cut it, you can't cut it, you can't cut it, the fire burns the earth dog's hair, and the earth dog jumps high!"

Ma Xie was completely furious, he had already left Qi Jun's affairs behind, and vowed to solve this nasty skull.

The skull dodged left and right, sometimes flying high, sometimes clinging to the ground, and the horse chased all the way, but unfortunately did not cause any damage to the skull.

Instead, it was the wounds on Ma Xie's body that were cut out by the branches of the iron tree, and those wounds were bloody, staining the ground under Ma Xie's feet red.

A feeling of dizziness hit him, and Ma Xie almost lost his feet.

"What's going on, why is my head so dizzy? Is it because of the excessive blood loss?"

However, Ma Xie clearly pointed out that although he could not use aura here, his body was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, and shedding such a little blood would not make him dizzy.

"No, it's not because of excessive blood loss. "Ma Xie no longer chased the skull, he knew that he would die if he continued like this, and he had to regain his composure.

Ma Xie rubbed his head, the situation seemed to be better, and he realized that the reason for his dizziness was not excessive blood loss, but that he had suffered a mental attack!

Those ghost fires that did not cause harm to his body destroyed Ma Xie's sea of consciousness in an extremely imperceptible way, causing his spiritual power to drop greatly, which is why Ma Xie was so easily confused and made an unwise choice.

"No, we can't go on like this!" Ma Xie quickly sat down, keeping his heart clear.

His mind began to sketch the picture in the "Yuanjue Sutra" taught to him by Xujiezi.

A picture of a little novice fanning the old monk gradually appeared in the sea of Ma Xie's knowledge.

He felt that his consciousness was gradually recovering and his mental strength was beginning to grow.

During this time, Ma Xie has been studying the "Yuanjue Sutra", which has greatly expanded his sea of knowledge, and his spiritual power has gradually increased, he has been able to control more than eighty spirit threads at the same time, and he has approached the limit of a first-order array mage.

The only pity is that Ma Xie's formation is too small, and he can't construct a powerful formation.

"Yuanjue Sutra" is worthy of being one of the important classics of Buddhism, Ma Xie studied "Yuanjue Sutra", and the sea of knowledge expanded very quickly, more than ten times faster than the speed of using aura and Xuanyang Nine Beings to cultivate the sea of knowledge.

It's just that Ma Xie didn't feel that his sea of consciousness had reached the limit, that is, he had not yet reached the peak of the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

The green skeleton was obviously a little angry when he saw that Ma Xie was no longer bewitched by himself.

His face began to grow angry, like a child whose toy had been snatched away.

The ghostly fires began to impact Ma Xie's body again, but Ma Xie did not move, and no longer paid attention to the mischievous skeleton.

Gradually, a golden circle of light rose around Ma Xie's body, and lotus runes appeared on the aperture, and those green ghost fires were loaded on top of the golden aperture, and they were all blocked.

"I didn't expect that in this world, spiritual power can actually be used!" Ma Xie was surprised to find that this aperture was formed by his spiritual power.

The skull's angry scream summoned all the green ghost fires scattered around him, forming a skull that was twice as big as just now, and rushed towards the horse evil in one go.

"Boom!"

Green fire and golden light collided together.
