Chapter 245: Hold on to the fire
To He Tianyao's surprise, Zhuo Qingfeng's strength seemed to be above him. His movement speed was no less than He Tianyao's, and the strength and speed of his sword moves were a little higher than He Tianyao's.
He Tianyao gradually became timid, and there were already several sword wounds on his body, but Zhuo Qingfeng was not injured except for two clothes that he had cut.
"Damn!" He Tianyao cursed in his heart, and with a pause under his feet, he turned into three figures, two of which struck Zhuo Qingfeng one left and one right, and the third one directly crossed the top of his head and took the old man in the mask.
"Hmph, finally used the killer weapon!" Zhuo Qingfeng said coldly, he calmly followed all the sword moves from both sides, as for the third figure, he didn't care at all.
It's an opportunity! He Tianyao's one-qi three-element has reached the level of complex three-dimensional, and he can transform his true body in the three figures. The figures of the two attacks on Zhuo Qingfeng turned into nothingness and disappeared, and the real body turned into three again in the distance of the old man in the mask. To be on the safe side, when attacking the old man in the mask, he used his strength at the beginning.
The old man in the mask was not in a hurry, he drew his sword out of the sheath, and the sword body was actually divided into two, and he held a sword in his left and right hands to resist in a circle, and took all the sword moves that came from three directions. It turned out to be a set of two swords! Usually the two are combined into one, and when one is used, it can be divided into two at critical moments.
Although it is exquisite, it is only a fuss about the sword casting structure, and there is nothing to be afraid of. He Tianyao's three figures attacked the upper, middle and lower three roads of the old man respectively, but the old man seemed calm.
"One Qi and Three Yuan" body skills have been used, and they still can't take advantage, not to mention that there are two people behind them! In just a few moves, He Tianyao can't figure out what kind of realm the old man in the mask is, if he is a master of the Mahayana realm, it will be troublesome. He Tianyao is not stupid, in fact, what he just performed was just a false move, it seems to be a sword shadow Huo Huo, but in fact, it does not contain much spiritual power in it. His purpose was to take the opportunity of attacking the old man to find out the situation in the cell next to him, after all, the main purpose of this trip was to save people.
In the cell, Ao Xue and Ling Shuang, two little girls, sat on the ground with their arms together, looking out nervously. Both men had iron chains attached to their feet, the other end of which was tied to the pillars of a huge wooden frame.
Flashed behind by He Tianyao, Zhuo Qingfeng did not chase after him, but propped the fairy sword on the ground in front of his feet, watching the battle, and seemed not to worry at all that the old man in the mask would be defeated by He Tianyao. This also proves that the old man in the mask is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He Tianyao quickly drew up a rescue plan in his heart, and the old man in the mask and the other two people with two figures rushed into the prison cell with his real body to cut the chains, and then escaped with his body.
The masked old man seemed to be focused on the head-to-head confrontation with He Tianyao, and he did not expect him to suddenly withdraw and rush into the cell.
When he rushed to Qin Lingshuang's side, He Tianyao kicked the redundant iron chain to the chain that tied Qin Aoxue, and slashed it with a sword, but he was dumbfounded.
Fighting hard to slash actually only left a shallow white mark on the two iron chains, he didn't have time to think about it, infused spiritual power, and slashed down five swords in a row, slashing sparks everywhere. But instead of cutting off the chains, the five swords that struck the same place shook the tiger's mouth numbly. What the hell is this material, it is so hard? He Tianyao roared, poured the greatest spiritual power, and used all his strength, and the most powerful sword roared and slashed, and fell fiercely on the iron chain.
The middle grade fairy sword of poor quality actually broke into two under such heavy slashing! The upper half of the broken sword spun and flew into the air, inserting itself into the wall. "Bang", the lower half of He Tianyao's hand fell to the ground, and along with it, there was blood that kept flowing out of his cracked tiger's mouth.
"Extraterrestrial meteorite?" He Tianyao really couldn't imagine anything else that could be so hard.
"Hahaha, you're right. And it's also an extraterrestrial meteorite that has been carefully smelted and transformed by me!" Zhuo Qingfeng smiled proudly at the door of the cell.
It turned out that the three of them had already guessed that He Tianyao would rush into the cell to save people, and they didn't immediately step forward to stop it just to watch this good show of He Tianyao's despair.
Meteorites outside the sky are no strangers to He Tianyao. He once wore an extraterrestrial meteorite heart armor made by Xuzhou blacksmith Liu Changmao. However, due to Liu Changmao's limited casting skills, that heart armor could only resist the attack of the lower-grade immortal sword, and it had already been taken off and not worn after He Tianyao reached the realm of the Void Netherworld.
The chain forged from extraterrestrial meteorite in front of him is different. Although the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron is extremely difficult to smelt, it is not difficult for the Immortal Cultivator to reach a hardness that can withstand a few attacks from the Middle-grade Immortal Sword. It's just that the effort expended is disproportionate to the results obtained, and very few people do it.
But Zhuo Qingfeng did just that. If it is used as a talisman, the fairy sword above the good product can be broken, which is not powerful. But the chain that locks people is a headache. If the Giant Que Immortal Sword was in his hand, he would be able to cut it off easily. also give He Tianyao some time, and use the medium-grade immortal sword to slowly consume it sword by sword.
It's a pity that in the face of facts, all assumptions are in vain. He Tianyao just didn't bring the Juque Sword, because he thought that the opponent of this trip would not cause him too much trouble, in order to prevent the fluctuation of the spiritual power of the Juque Sword from causing the detection of the Red Sun Vein master, he only brought the medium-grade fairy sword that he picked up, and he didn't have time to slowly cut the iron chain, because the three enemies had already blocked him in the room, and he was caught in an urn.
He Tianyao will eventually pay the price for his paralysis and carelessness. There is no need to think about saving people, and whether you can return it is a question.
He Tianyao stepped back step by step, reaching the root of the wall. Seeing Zhuo Qingfeng approaching him step by step with a sinister smile, he quickly calculated in his heart: "If you want to escape, you still have to rely on the "One Qi Three Yuan" body method. ”
When he quickly finished drawing up the plan in his mind, Zhuo Qingfeng also forced a foot in front of him. He Tianyao immediately made a decision, picked up the broken sword at his feet with a cat's waist, formed a palm with his left hand, condensed the sword at the end of the palm, and divided into three figures, one attacked Zhuo Qingfeng with a broken sword and a palm sword, and the other two left
Right bypassed and went straight to the masked old man standing at the door.
He Tianyao is playing a game. The opponent must have guessed that he wanted to escape, so he would try his best to intercept the two figures rushing towards the door, and the real body could take the opportunity to find a flaw to hurt Zhuo Qingfeng, Qian Qiu had already been injured before, so it would be much easier to escape if he was injured two of the three, and then it would be much easier to escape;
Zhuo Qingfeng really didn't turn around and attack the two figures that bypassed, but fought with He Tianyao's true body. According to the plan, He Tianyao immediately transformed his real body into another figure, but the old man in the mask blocked the two figures with his sword in both hands, and his feet did not move at all.
The phantom disappeared, and He Tianyao immediately separated into three figures, and constantly changed his true body in the three phantoms, trying to injure Zhuo Qingfeng or force out of the escape gap. At the moment, he couldn't care about the huge consumption of spiritual power from the frequent use of the "Fu Sanyuan" of "One Qi Three Yuan", but he still failed to succeed after trying his best. Zhuo Qingfeng seemed to have become a supreme master, and he made a move against He Tianyao, and the old man in the mask was even stronger, and he had been firmly guarding the door of the cell, not moving.
"Damn! They must have deliberately let me in to save people just now!" The more difficult it was to get out, the more anxious He Tianyao's heart became. If it continues like this, once the spiritual power is exhausted, it will become a chopping board and fish meat, and it will be used by others.
Moreover, He Tianyao also found that the frequent use of "complex three elements" is not a good strategy: first, it consumes a huge amount of spiritual power. The spiritual power consumed is the key to the transformation of the real body between the shadows, and secondly, it requires a high speed of reaction of the mind. Because Zhuo Qingfeng and the old man in the mask are not wooden stakes that cannot be beaten, they are both immortal cultivators who are enough to match He Tianyao in the early stage of Mahayana! At the moment when you and Zhuo Qingfeng are attacking each other, they suddenly switch to the old man in the mask, and if you don't want to make a move, you have to react immediately How to take the defense and how to attack. To put it simply, it is necessary to adapt to the swordsmanship routines of two masters at the same time in the continuous transformation of the "complex three". If you react a little slower, I'm afraid you will fall into a sword wound, and there is only one way to die. Using this style of play, the spirit must be highly concentrated at all times, and it is not easy to defuse the enemy's attack, not to mention that the enemy's tricks also have false moves, and it is necessary to have the ability to judge the virtual and real in an instant; third, the coordination level of the body is also a difficult test. The speed of the mind is only one aspect, and even if it does, it must be able to keep up with the body's movements. In the battle of masters, victory or defeat is only between the snap of a finger, and the actions of the body must keep up with the thoughts of the mind. As the saying goes, "The fastest thing in the world is the human mind." "It's easier said than done to perfect the synergy of the body!
In short, this style of play is very tiring and tiring. At present, He Tianyao's situation is forced to be helpless, and if he wants to escape, he can only fight in this extremely costly method.
"It's almost unbearable!" He Tianyao's spiritual power consumption was gradually approaching the limit. There are also fewer and fewer attack moves in the "complex three" transformation. "If my spiritual power is exhausted, if my energy is always strong, if my physical strength is always inexhaustible, how good it would be!"
The severe pain made He Tianyao feel agitated, and his sluggish spirit was concentrated again. At that moment, his mind was like an enlightenment, and the secret of the body method that he had not comprehended for a long time seemed to have slowly opened the door to him.
"Virtual ternary", "complex ternary", "real ternary" ...... The unrivaled speed is the key to the body method of "One Qi and Three Yuan".
At the "Imaginary Three" level, due to the extremely fast speed, it looks as if three figures appeared at the same time, but in fact, two of them were only phantoms left by the previous two body movements. As for why "three" is used as the base number of the body figure, it is because with the spiritual power strength of the Immortal Cultivator of the Silence Realm, the body speed that can be achieved can only support two phantoms at most, and when the fourth figure appears, the time that the first phantom can stay in the eyes of others is almost over. From another point of view, the phantom is only a confusing effect, and the spiritual power consumed by the three phantoms is still within the allowable range, and too many phantoms are not much of benefit, and it is a waste of spiritual power.
After the immortal cultivator ascends to the Mahayana realm, the speed in the "Void Three-Element" level is increased to the extreme, so that he can be converted to the Void Shadow at a price that consumes part of his spiritual power, which is the "Complex Three-Elemental" realm. In fact, the transformation of the "complex ternary" is essentially to use the explosion of spiritual power to urge the body to speed up again in an instant, so fast that others are almost invisible, and it looks like it is changing between phantoms.
So, what is the mystery of the mysterious "real three-element" level after the "virtual three-element" and "complex three-element"? He Tianyao was never able to touch the true meaning of the "real three-element" when he was cultivating. He also asked Jiang Chengdong about this, but the master who had always taught him tirelessly was unusual, requiring him to comprehend it according to his own ability.
In this life-and-death ordeal, He Tianyao actually comprehended the core key of the "real three-element" - that is, to give full play to the body shape transformation of the "complex three-element". If the conversion speed is fast enough and the frequency is high enough, isn't the situation that appears in the eyes of others exactly the characteristic of the "real three" - "the three figures are all real bodies"?
But this is undoubtedly a huge test of the ability of immortal cultivators. Spiritual power should be abundant to an incomparable level, physical strength should be strong to the level of tirelessness, and energy should be to the extent of "improvising to change quickly".
Even He Tianyao in the Mahayana realm can only support the consumption of the "complex three elements" for a while, and if he wants to reach the ideal "real three yuan" level, I am afraid that he must have the strength of the sword immortal!
No wonder, no wonder that the line passed down by Zhaoyue Sword Immortal Xiong Jiewu until the Pei brothers has never practiced the "Real Three Yuan", because no one in Xiong Jiewu's later generations has ever cultivated a sword immortal
。 It is no wonder that Jiang Chengdong did not teach He Tianyao the true meaning of "real three elements", but let him understand it by himself, because his current realm is not strong enough.
The reason why Xiong Jiewu set the ancestral rule of "only those who practice the 'real three yuan' can take the giant sword" before his ascension, and sealed the sword in the magic circle that can only be broken by the "real three yuan" body method, it may be that he is worried that the children of future generations may be coveted by others if they easily get the giant sword when their strength is not strong enough; it may also be to prevent future generations from fighting for this peerless immortal sword; it is more likely to prevent this sword from falling into the hands of the wicked, because anyone who can cultivate into a sword immortal and practice into a "real three yuan" has passed the test of the demons in the heart during the heavenly tribulation.
But then again, only the Sword Immortal can practice the "Real Three Yuan", and only the "Real Three Yuan" can break the formation and obtain the Juque Sword, that is to say, only the Sword Immortal can get the Juque Sword. But for those who have already cultivated to the Sword Immortal, what is the use of asking for the Juque Sword? Could it be that Xiong Jiewu wants the Juque Sword to be sealed forever?
This originally seemed to be a circular dead knot, but through Jiang Chengdong's passing on of the Juque Sword to He Tianyao, it seems that everything has a perfect solution. Zhaoyue Sword Immortal Xiong Jiewu, he skillfully passed those two harsh conditions to the extreme, and found an excellent successor for the Juque Sword who was qualified enough to inherit it among the children of later generations. The sword fairy obtains the sword, and then he chooses the right heir. Not only must this heir have the ability to protect the giant sword, but his character must be recognized by the sword immortal. If there is no suitable candidate, then continue to let the giant sword sleep. In this way, the malignant "possibility" mentioned earlier will not happen.
Speaking of which, people have to admire, Xiong Jiewu is a person with a delicate mind! But it is estimated that what he did not expect is that for hundreds of years, the only qualified successor of Juque Sword is not a child of the original lineage, and this new heir is facing a major crisis related to life and death!
He Tianyao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, at such a time, even if he comprehended the true meaning of the "real three elements", what could he do? Zhuo Qingfeng's sword was pressing, and the old man in the mask sealed the door like an impregnable wall.
"Wall?door?" The two words that came to his mind made He Tianyao's heart flutter, "Ha, I have a way!"
If the Old Man in the Mask is like an impregnable wall, what about the real wall?
It's the last resort, and there's only one chance. Once you fail, it's over.
He Tianyao once again, and for the last time before deciding life and death, he used the "One Qi and Three Yuan" body method. There was still one figure attacking Zhuo Qingfeng, and two figures attacking the old man in the mask. But unlike the previous one, the two figures attacking the old man in the mask staggered one after the other.
"It's now!" He Tianyao said in his heart. One of the two figures rushing to the door suddenly turned in front of him, with the broken sword as the end, and crashed into the wall next to the masked old man, and then, He Tianyao changed his body shape with the "complex three", and the real body changed to a figure behind, followed by the first figure and crashed into the same place on the wall, and then, the third figure attacking Zhuo Qingfeng also changed direction and hit the wall heavily!
On the first impact, the broken sword had already broken into pieces, but the wall was sunken into a large crater, the second impact, the fragments that had not had time to splash were almost embedded in his body, but a small hole was broken in the pit, and on the third impact, all the fragments in the wound were deeply sunk into the flesh, but the small opening of the pit had expanded into a large hole.
He Tianyao bowed and rushed into the aisle, but the sudden sharp pain on his face made him can't help but roar in pain!
In a trance, He Tianyao stumbled along the way he came and escaped the corner, but the faint voice of the old man in the mask came from behind him: "You have been hit by my newly developed poison, and no one can solve it except me." If you want to live, take the giant sword to ...... within three days."
Zhuo Qingfeng in the prison cell collected the fairy sword and asked the old man in the mask: "You already expected him to hit the wall and escape?"
"You, you villains have hurt your uncle, you all deserve to die!" Qin Aoxue, who had witnessed everything, beat Zhuo Qingfeng's leg with tears, and Qin Lingshuang sat down on the side and cried loudly.
"Hmph, you two are really noisy!" Zhuo Qingfeng squatted down, and gently patted the back of the necks of the two little girls with both hands, and the two immediately fell unconscious.
"We're in a cell, what other way can we get out?" the masked old man sneered, "but even if he can't think of it, I'll sell him and leave." First, he didn't bring the Giant Que Immortal Sword this time, and second, the strange poison I just created is worried that there is no test product, and he ...... it."
"Your mind is indeed meticulous, heh, if you hadn't been in the house just now, if you hadn't made a gesture to remind him, I really wouldn't have noticed him hiding on the roof and eavesdropping. Zhuo Qingfeng said with a smile.
"I've already set up a perception array in the courtyard. It was so faint and so hidden that I could know as soon as someone entered the courtyard, and I was afraid that he would not come. If he didn't set some traps after he came, how could that shrewd boy obediently enter the urn?" The old man in the mask was triumphant, it turned out that all He Tianyao's actions were already in his calculations.
"If he comes with the Juque Sword in three days, will you really give him the antidote?" Qian Qiu asked.
The old man in the mask said viciously: "Hmph, I only develop poisons, never antidotes. When the time comes, give him a pill indiscriminately, and he will die in two days when he goes back, just seal his mouth!"
"There is no antidote to the poison you created, so what if you accidentally get poisoned?" Qian Qiu asked curiously.
The old man in the mask gave him a cold look: "I have my own way!" After speaking, he left with his hand.
Zhuo Qingfeng also glared at Qian Qiusui fiercely when he walked by him, and reprimanded: "You dare to ask about the secrets of other sects?"
Qian Qiu gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, clenched his fists, and left behind the two.
