Chapter Ninety-Five: The Battle
Xingyun City is a small city in the southern part of the Qingyan Continent, located at the foot of the mountains. Hundreds of miles away from here, there are vast mountains, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, mountains and mountains, and it is also the place where the demon clan on the Qingyan Continent lives.
It's just a place of exchange of benefits, with a fixed population of less than a thousand. Because this place is close to the mountains, far away from the Demon Gate, and does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, the people who come and go are also mixed with dragons and snakes, since there are immortal cultivators and demon cultivators. However, most of the people who come and go are casual practitioners.
In Xingyun City, there are two monks in the late stage of Jiedan, one is an immortal cultivator and the other is a demon cultivator, who sit in the south and north of the city respectively, and the security in the city is also maintained by them. Almost all the shops in the city were opened by them, and the two of them restrained each other and made rules together.
According to the rules of the two, Xingyun City is only a place for exchanging interests, any form of fighting is prohibited, and all contradictions should be explained in a peaceful way. If it really can't be reconciled, you can go outside the city to solve it. If someone blatantly violates the rules and does something in the city, they will do it themselves.
It was noon, and the fiery sun was hanging high in the sky, shining brightly. In a square outside the south gate of Xingyun City, many people gathered to watch the excitement. In the middle of the square, two people stood.
One of them was a tall man, dressed in gray, who was staring angrily at the young man in white standing across from him. The young man in white had a long sword behind his back and a hat on his head, and the black veil hanging around the brim of the hat covered his face, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.
This square is the place to settle personal grievances. Many people who come and go, if there is a conflict in the city because of a transaction, will come here to settle it privately. However, this is already outside the city, and it is not under the jurisdiction of those two monks of the Yudan period, even if they die in the battle here, no one will care.
The big man and the young man in white standing in front of him naturally came here to resolve the conflict in private. However, both of them are cultivators at the peak of qi refining, and it is difficult to predict who is strong and who is weak, which is also the reason why so many people are interested.
"Stinky boy, no one dares to fight with me if I see something! If you regret it, it's too late to quit now!" the big man glared at the young man in white and said coldly.
"Hmph!" the young man in white just snorted lightly and didn't speak!
When the big man saw it, he was furious, shouted, and threw a punch, and a huge silver fist shadow struck the young man in white. The young man in white raised his hand with one hand, and also punched out, and a huge pale yellow fist shadow met him.
"Bang!"
The two huge fist shadows met in an instant, the two were evenly matched, and dissipated at the same time, and the big man and the young man in white each took a step back.
The big man frowned, slapped the storage bag with one hand, and a silver hammer flew out. The big man pinched the trick with one hand, and the silver hammer was sacrificed in the air. The silver hammer grew in the wind, rising in mid-air to the size of a copper basin, wrapped in a fierce wind and smashed towards the white-clothed young man opposite.
The young man in white snorted, raised his right hand, and a short sword flew out of his arm. When the short sword first flew out, it was only five or six inches long, and there were still stains of rust on the sword. However, as it flew forward, the rust on the sword's body turned into a thick flame. Flames enveloped the blade of the sword, heading towards the incoming silver hammer.
"Dangchang!"
With a loud bang, sparks shot out, and the silver hammer and dagger flew back upside down at the same time.
The young man in white shouted angrily, and a long sword that flashed blue flew out of the storage bracelet. The young man pinched the trick with one hand, and the long sword was instantly sacrificed, turning into a cyan python in mid-air, opening its bloody mouth and flying towards the big man.
The big man had just taken the silver hammer magic weapon in his hand, and he saw the giant python flying over, and in a hurry, he shook his hand and sacrificed the silver hammer again.
The young man in white laughed, and as soon as the short sword in his hand was retracted, the long sword behind his back was instantly unsheathed and flew into his palm. With a wave of the young man's long sword, eight sword qi struck out at the same time. Halfway through, the eight sword qi were combined into four, the four sword qi were combined into two, and the two were combined into one, which was the thickness of a bowl, flashing with dazzling silver light, and hit the biao-shaped man on the opposite side.
As soon as the silver hammer sacrificed by the Han Dynasty met the giant python, it was entangled by the giant python, and it was impossible to withdraw it. Seeing the sword qi flying towards him, the big man pinched the trick with one hand, and a black shield flew out and blocked in front of him.
Under the shining silver light, the sword qi instantly hit the black shield, and with a bang, the sword qi dissipated instantly, and an obvious crack appeared on the black shield.
Dahan was startled and took a step back again. However, the young man in white just stared at the big man coldly, but he didn't mean to take the opportunity to strike again. After a moment of hesitation, Dahan gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
"I admit defeat and take it orally, the pill is yours!"
Hearing this, the young man in white waved his hand and withdrew the green snake sword! The big man took back his silver hammer and black shield, arched his hand towards the young man in white with a gloomy expression, and turned to leave!
The young man in white is Ma Yilong.
At this time, it has been half a year since Ma Yilong and Huo Wuyuan and the others were separated, and Ma Yilong has also entered the peak of qi refining. The reason why Ma Yilong appeared here was because the place where he and He Xiang agreed to meet in half a year was here.
In the past half a year, Ma Yilong has come all the way from the east, not only has there been a breakthrough in qi refining, but also has made progress in the three-element sword technique, and at this time he has been able to shoot out eight sword qi at the same time. Although he didn't have the exercises after the Divine Thoughts, as his cultivation grew, his Divine Thoughts also improved a lot.
A few days ago, Ma Yilong came to Xingyun City.
Because of the special location of this Xingyun City, close to the southern jungle, it is rich in resources, so there are many things that can be exchanged. Here, you can not only exchange the exercises of immortal cultivation and demon cultivation, but also exchange spiritual herbs and elixirs, exchange all kinds of magic weapons, and exchange demon pills, animal bones and other things.
In Xingyun City, there is a huge square, and there is a small trade fair every three days. People who come and go can freely exchange goods here. If you are interested, you can also put out the items you want to exchange and wait for others to take the initiative to ask.
In the past few days, Ma Yilong has also successfully exchanged some items.
There happened to be another trade fair today, and at the trade fair, Ma Yilong was optimistic about an elixir that could enhance his divine thoughts. The other party asked for five hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and Ma Yilong did not hesitate to reach a deal with the other party on the spot.
For Ma Yilong, there is no shortage of this spirit stone on his body, this kind of elixir that can strengthen divine thoughts, he naturally will not miss it! However, just when Ma Yilong took out the spirit stone and planned to exchange it, the big man appeared, and he forcibly increased the price, intending to pry the elixir away!
Ma Yilong naturally couldn't agree, and the two quarreled on the spot. According to the rules of Xingyun City, the two of them went out of the city and came to this square to solve the matter, which happened just now.
Now that the big man is gone, there is nothing to say, Ma Yilong returned to the trade fair alone and bought this pill with five hundred middle-grade spirit stones.
The transaction was completed, and Ma Yilong continued to move forward along the stall. After walking not far away, Ma Yilong bought a high-grade tiger bone at a stall for the price of five hundred spirit stones. Afterwards, Ma Yilong continued to walk along the stall.
After half a circle, Ma Yilong suddenly stopped in front of a stall. At this stall, someone is selling foxes. It was a white spirit fox, which looked quite spiritual, with long fur and white as snow.
What prompted Ma Yilong to stop was that when he went to look at the white fox, the white fox actually shed tears at him! Ma Yilong was originally a more emotional person, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but stop.
"Fellow Daoists, don't be fooled by its tears! Although this little guy is still 108,000 miles away from his transformation, he is full of spirituality. As long as someone comes to see it, it will pretend to be pitiful and shed tears at others!" "The stall owner is a disciple in the early stage of foundation building, and when he saw Ma Yilong stop and stare at the white fox, he couldn't help but smile and speak.
"You can't say that! the seniors can take it out and sell it, and the price is actually eight hundred middle-grade spirit stones, thinking about it, it must be extraordinary!" Ma Yilong shifted his gaze to the stall owner and said with a smile.
"This makes sense! This white fox has no other role, and has a special ability to identify elixir and spiritual herbs! If you buy this thing and take it with you into the mountains to look for elixir and spiritual herbs, you will definitely benefit a lot! This thing can sense the existence of elixir from miles away!" the stall owner explained with a smile.
Ma Yilong smiled, didn't say anything more, took out the spirit stone on the spot and handed it to the stall owner, put the white fox into the spirit beast bag, and left the stall. In the following time, Ma Yilong walked around the square a few times, and indeed did not fancy anything else, turned around and left.
It wasn't the first day he'd been here, and he had already rented a room in a store in the city. Ma Yilong returned to the room, closed the door, and took out the pill he had just bought.
In the past period of time, Ma Yilong has bought a lot of books on pills, and he has not invested time in research, although he has not yet refined pills by himself, but he still has the ability to identify pills. Ma Yilong looked at it a few times, and after making sure that there was no problem with the pill, he immediately sat cross-legged, took the pill, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Three days later, when Ma Yilong opened his eyes again, the medicinal power of the pill in his body had been refined, and Ma Yilong's divine thoughts had also been improved.
Originally, Ma Yilong's divine thoughts had been able to scan the surrounding range of six or seven hundred zhang away, and they had been improved again when they reached the peak of qi refining before, and now they had improved again, and Ma Yilong's divine thoughts could already scan the surrounding range of more than a thousand zhang.
The reason why Ma Yilong bought this pill was not only because he had always attached more importance to the cultivation of divine thoughts, but also because he did not lack spirit stones at all. However, Ma Yilong himself did not expect that this improvement also allowed him to successfully avoid a catastrophe.
