Xu Bailian's core was shattered, but Bai Xiao did not relax his vigilance at all, he slashed with a sword, immediately released the hilt of the sword, and the whole person flew backwards like a spring.

Almost at the same time, a tidal wave of pitch-black sludge was released from the shattered core.

The sludge was like a living thing, and the moment it burst into bloom, it firmly grasped Bai Xiao's pitch-black magic sword, and then devoured it completely. Later, it took on a hideous posture of teeth and claws, and countless spiky tentacles reached out in all directions, assimilating, polluting, or simply crushing everything they touched.

A newly built settlement on the outskirts of the city was swept away into ruins in an instant. If Bai Xiao hadn't evacuated all the residents in advance, this sweep would have caused hundreds of casualties!

This sudden change is enough to shock nine out of nine so-called experienced fighters in this world, after all, Xu Bailian launched an unprecedented counterattack when the "core" was shattered.

However, Bai Xiao is undoubtedly an expert in actual combat based on the apex of the world, and his battlefield intuition is close to the law of cause and effect, and there is no reason at all. He didn't know in advance that Xu Bailian had hidden this sludge bomb in the core, but he foresaw the future at the moment of the sword slash and made a flawless judgment.

The magic sword can't be saved, and there is no need to protect it, but it can be used as bait to buy him time. The sludge was infinitely powerful and intelligent, but it was obviously more like a cunning but greedy beast than a veteran like Xu Bailian, sometimes knowing that a more valuable target was not far away, but still unable to let go of the prey in his mouth.

With the help of the black mud devouring magic sword, and sweeping through the village for a moment, Bai Xiao had already come to a few hundred meters away, standing lightly on a watchtower made of boulders.

This is the watchtower on the outskirts of the city that he built himself, and it is the most important defense system in the new Hongshan City: one of the thirty-three watchtowers, there is a magic energy concentrating crystal cannon taken from the Serpentine Pass army at the top of the tower, the base of the turret can be turned freely, the muzzle pitch angle is close to 180 degrees, and there are almost no dead angles in the fire coverage.

And this kind of magic energy concentrating crystal cannon is the most powerful heavy weapon among the human demon weapons two thousand years ago, it usually takes three to five experienced demon dao priests to control it freely, and it is also a strategic weapon in Lu Hao's independent army, and its power should not be underestimated even after two thousand years.

The moment Bai Xiao landed on his tiptoes to the top of the watchtower, his magic sense instantly fused with the magic energy concentrating cannon, a heavy weapon that required multiple gunners to warm up, focus, and fire, and completed all the steps in just one breath, the muzzle of the cannon was shining, and the suburbs of Hongshan City were like a new round of sun.

The concentrating cannon burst out with the magic energy that destroyed all things, and hit the "core" of the black mud accurately, but at the moment when the cannon fire hit, Bai Xiao felt his hairs flutter, and immediately took out a shiny Jingyuan shield from the magic arsenal and put it under his feet.

The crimson crystalline cannon fire reflected precisely from the core of the black mud, and then Bai Xiao's shield deflected it at a slight angle, shooting diagonally into the sky, piercing a huge void in the white sea of clouds.

Bai Xiao further restrained his mind and determined that the Xu Bailian in front of him was far more tricky than in the previous warm-up game.

In terms of the intensity of the fluctuation of the magic energy, in fact, Xu Bailian has declined at this time, only about one-third of the previous battle, and there are quite a lot of embarrassing details on his body, as if he has just suffered a defeat...... But on another level, he has far surpassed the previous Xu Bailian.

Case......

Bai Xiao calculated in his heart and had two ideas.

One is a strategic retreat, as a hunter, in the face of too powerful prey, it is never a shame to temporarily avoid the edge, and Bai Xiao's best thing is never to be head-on and brainless, but to make full use of the environment to fight.

The second is ...... Offense instead of defense.

In the short confrontation with Xu Bailian, Bai Xiao keenly captured many details.

If these details are listed one by one, even Bai Xiao himself is difficult to describe, but he does not need to do unnecessary rational analysis, and his intuition will naturally give him conclusions.

Xu Bailian's sudden appearance was not aimed at him, but had a more important purpose. Judging by the location......

Bai Xiao immediately thought of the strange totem, and the group performances that accompanied the totem shattering and dying at the same time.

Although he couldn't rely on the deep scenery to get a glimpse of Xu Bailian's overall plan in advance like Qing Yue, how could he guess that Xu Bailian did not hesitate to break the test rules to appear here for that strange totem, and that totem must be needed for an extremely powerful ritual.

Otherwise, with the methods of Xu Bailian, the Demon Dao Grandmaster, he would have reached the point of tearing his face and personally going down to destroy the academy test, and he would directly blow himself up on the spot, and he would be able to drag the people of a city into the water.

Even if this is the heartfelt capital of the Great Qin Empire, which has been run by countless talents for two thousand years, and there are many grandmasters such as Zhu Junshen stationed at this time, it will definitely not be able to withstand the self-explosion of a mad dog grandmaster. The Demon Dao Grandmaster has such destructive power.

But Xu Bailian still ran to the test ground and appeared in front of Bai Xiao in an imperfect state, so ......

In just a moment, Bai Xiao made a decision.

Don't go, just with him!

Because the time and place are favorable, it happens to be in Bai Xiao's hands!

During this time, he was crazy about SimCity, but he was not really immersed in the thrill of monopolizing power, on the contrary, he had been preparing for war and waiting for work. On the other hand, Xu Bailian appeared abruptly, the details were embarrassing, and he was obviously in a hurry and underprepared.

In terms of geographical advantages, this newborn Hongshan City was built by him and was ready to be used to replace Lu Hao as the new imperial capital, and now it is not only a prosperous city with a large population, but also a well-prepared military fortress - in fact, Bai Xiao has already given up winning from Lu Hao after capturing Lu Hao at the first time, and has cleared his favorability, how can he expect Lu Hao to judge him to win?

But Lu Hao made it clear that he was the final referee of this test, and if he wanted to bypass him, it was tantamount to bypassing the assessment framework set by the entire test. Ordinary students can't consider this layer, but Bai Xiao naturally didn't think about any framework issues at all, this test can only be regarded as acting for others, but it is like actual combat for Bai Xiao, and under the actual combat thinking, only substantial victories are worth paying attention to, and the rest can be ignored. Bai Xiao's victory or defeat lies in the future of the Western Continent and the establishment of Hongshan Academy, so as long as he can create all this by himself, why should he need Lu Hao's referee?

However, privately building the capital under the nose of the dignified Western Continent overlord and building a demon academy is like a direct provocation to the overlord's authority. Then no matter what logic comes from, Bai Xiao will have to face the anger of the overlord.

This city was built by Bai Xiao who was fully prepared and fought with Lu Hao's independent army.

Now Lu Hao didn't make a move, but Xu Bailian bumped into him...... But the results are not much different, there must always be a target for the release of the city's armaments, either Lu Hao or Xu Bailian. Fight in this city, Bai Xiao's territory is full!

Finally, there are people.

Although he didn't expect his city lord assistant to really play any role in this kind of high-end battle, Gao Yuan and Lu Xun were not the only reinforcements in this world.

Xu Bailian appeared so suddenly, it couldn't be due to the rules, so as the price of breaking the rules, he would be restrained by all the powerful people in the entire Red Mountain City, Zhu Junshen, Ying Ruoying...... These famous masters all stood opposite Xu Bailian. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that Xu Bailian, who appeared in front of Bai Xiao, would not only be a fraction of his peak strength.

With so many favorable factors, Bai Xiao made a decision to start a war on the spot!

So the next moment, with the watchtower at his feet as the axis, one of the commands in the magic consciousness trembled slightly and spread out in all directions.

Thirty-two magic energy concentrating cannons, each turning their muzzles, aimed in the same direction.

This is Bai Xiao's highest authority as the city lord, and the entire city is his weapon when necessary, and as a driver, Bai Xiao is not worried that his magic sense will exceed the limit.

In terms of the level of magic sense, his advantage is huge, and at the same level, his magic sense is far more subtle than that of his peers, so with all his strength, incredible miracles are also at his fingertips.

Thirty-two magic cannons fired at the same time, and at the local points covered by the cannon fire, the destructive power completely reached the level of the grandmaster, and it was the best to use it against Xu Bailian...... But just as the artillery was about to finish warming up, Bai Xiao suddenly raised his hand and forcibly interrupted the salvo.

It doesn't make sense, it's also intuitive, and it always feels like it's really firing, and the result will definitely not be as he wants.

"Tsk. ”

In the black mud, Xu Bailian's angry voice came out clearly.

"Obviously a fool, but clever in doing things!"

Then, Bai Xiao realized what Xu Bailian was talking about.

Those artillery pieces that he ordered to stop preheating were still steadily increasing the gathering energy of the muzzles, although they were not as fast as when Bai Xiao personally controlled them. But it is methodical, climbing the energy level of the launch step by step.

The energy of destroying the world and destroying the earth gathered with the slight trembling of the thirty-two watchtowers.

The defense system built by this thirty-three watchtower has been occupied by Xu Bailian's nest!

Bai Xiao is a little difficult to understand, this remote control system, there is indeed a risk of being invaded by the master to control the line, so Bai Xiao really added some private goods when building this system, his magic theory level is not strong, but it is better to have a theoretical level that can be called the top instructor in the mainland. When he was studying under Zheng Liming, he once saw a paper on cryptography on the other party's desk, although he couldn't understand most of the content, he had nothing to do and wrote down the conclusion. When he arrived at the test ground, Bai Xiao copied it as it was, sacrificed Zheng Liming's encrypted gameplay, and built an almost flawless turret system.

However, in front of Xu Bailian, Zheng Liming's painstaking efforts were almost useless, and the encrypted magic channel was cracked cleanly!

It turns out that Lao Zheng is so useless?

Bai Xiao was a little puzzled, and gave another order in the magic sense: stop.

This time, Bai Xiao used another magic channel, and its encryption and communication principles came from the original poem's paper.

However, it turns out that in front of this alienated Xu Bailian, the original poem seems to be no different from Zheng Liming.

His magical commands were lost to the sea, and the thirty-two turrets were still steadily increasing their magical energy focus, completely unresponsive to the self-destructing commands. Xu Bailian's control of the Demon Text Channel is crushing, and it is far beyond Bai Xiao's cognition.

In the black mud, Xu Bailian's laughter came.

This time, Bai Xiao's two defeats finally made Xu Bailian realize the power and coercion of the superiors. The application of magic energy by the degraded species can be called a heart-warming joke, when looking down from a higher vantage point, their carefully constructed magic text encryption is like drawing circles on a flat piece of paper, no matter how tightly these circles are fitted, it is meaningless to people in the high-dimensional space, they can directly reach out and press into the circle, straight to the core.

But the next moment, Xu Bailian's smile froze.

The thirty-three watchman turrets, including the one at Bai Xiao's feet, dimmed at the same time, and the magic energy concentrating cannon hung down weakly as if it had lost its soul......

And no matter how much Xu Bailian ordered them to start firing with his superior power, he didn't get the slightest response...... The reason for this, of course, is not that Bai Xiao has the command authority to suppress Xu Bailian, but that Bai Xiao crushed a crystal clear and round gem.

It was the Mother Stone of the Dragon's Tears. The Mother Stone shattered, placed in the thirty-three watchtowers, and the Dragon's Tears, which were used to power the Magical Crystalline Cannon, were also shattered.

This super-high magical substance has many incredible properties, the most widely used of which is the high-density storage of magical energy, but there is another property that is less well known: resonance.

When a large number of dragon tears are activated at the same time within a certain range, they will naturally coordinate with each other, creating a wonderful resonance, and one will lose and one will prosper. This characteristic makes Dragon's Tears very suitable for dense arrangement, for ultra-high-power magic energy supply, and several civil engineering miracles created by Hongshan Academy in the city rely on the Dragon's Tears large array under the academy.

Without the unique properties of Dragon's Tears, hundreds of gemstones would be like a rabble, and they would not be able to harmonize. Even with the magic path technology of the Red Mountain Academy, it was impossible to directly invoke such a complex magic energy, and it was thanks to the resonance characteristics of the Dragon's Tears that it was possible to make that magic energy room possible.

But before that, the resonance of the Dragon's Tears had not been discovered, and even Xu Bailian, a Demon Dao Grandmaster from the Saint Yuan, had never heard of it...... The reason for this is also very simple, before Bai Xiao was born, no matter the Eastern and Western Continents, no one had ever seen so many dragon's tears at one time!

As for the higher-level creatures, almost all of their knowledge of this world comes from the host's memory, so he really didn't expect the Dragon's Tears to be so useful. was caught off guard for a moment, and the killing move of the counterattack was dissolved by Bai Xiao.

However, it doesn't hurt to dissolve it, it is a move to push the boat down the river, and it is not a loss to return without success, the real loss is still Bai Xiao, his carefully built turret system is completely dumb after only one shot, and Xu Bailian can smoothly reconstruct the totem in the black mud and promote purification.

This made Xu Bailian sigh with emotion, he had been busy for so long, and the plan finally showed some signs of returning to the right track. Just now, he was drunk by two snow-capped girls, and he was simply beaten to the point of bewilderment, and even fart and urine...... The dignified high-ranking creature, the host is also a demon master, but in the end, he was swept away by the elemental torrent and fled, and the totem was also wiped out, and there was no scum left.

Now here in Bai Xiao, Xu Bailian finally found a trace of comfort. This Bai Xiao has always been regarded as the strongest link in the Snow Mountain trio, and he does have a secret that makes the high-level creatures moved, but it seems that this high-profile Bai Xiao has nothing to do when facing the high-level creatures. The threat was even far less than that of the two snowy mountain girls.

Thinking of this, Xu Bailian even laughed at himself, he knew this was the case, why did he choose White Night City as his first stop? Wouldn't it be better to come directly to Bai Xiao?

But think about it from another angle, if it weren't for a fight with those two girls under White Night City, the two of them, especially Qingyue, would be exhausted and unable to act. If you run to Hongshan City alone to fight Bai Xiao, you are likely to be attacked by a group, and the situation will be even more passive.

Therefore, the previous setback is also meaningful, it paves the way for the future smoothness, and as long as the status quo is maintained, the purification ritual can be carried out smoothly.

In fact, the process went even smoother than Xu Bailian expected.

The previous battle under White Night City attracted about 20 million attention, but in Red Mountain City, the attention of Bai Xiao has more than tripled!

The broadcast system of the entire year-end test is already running at full capacity at this time, and nearly sixty percent of the traffic is rushing to this side!

Because at this time, even the most dull audience can see that the existence of Xu Bailian is definitely an outlier in the testing field, and this outlier contains great risks.

The conversation between Lan Lan and Qing Yue under the White Night City has spread rapidly through various channels.

Although the girl's conversation was casual, as if she didn't take it seriously, after all, their identities were different, and the content of the conversation was sensational, so the news spread quite quickly. When Xu Bailian transferred his position and came to Hongshan City, the news outside the field had actually spread widely!

As a result, more and more people began to pay attention to the live situation.

Even if you know that this kind of attention carries a high level of risk, but ...... When everyone around you is talking about this, wouldn't it be a great opportunity to participate in it or take a look?

Originally, this academy test, due to the long duration of the test, could not always attract all the spectators - someone always had to go out to eat, sleep and go to the toilet during the period. But with the variable of Xu Bailian, the popularity of the free man quickly gathered, and the attention was actually approaching the peak at the beginning!

This is simply an unexpected joy for Xu Bailian, and at the same time, he is even more crazy in his heart to mock the death instinct of the degraded species, he likes to die so much, and he will give you an equal death later.

But it's not the reaction of the degraded species that needs to be watched now. Instead, focus more on the work at hand.

The situation is very good, and he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, he swept away Bai Xiao, bought time and space for the repair of the totem, and at the same time used the means of the superior to prove that the Snow Mountain Hunter is not to worry in front of him - his forbidden demon body can only be used for defense, and the attack is seriously weak, far less threatening than the Elemental Purification Ritual of the Snow Mountain Wuzhu. Even if Bai Xiao's head was so iron that he rushed into the black mud regardless of it, Xu Bailian was sure enough to resist the opponent's forbidden demon body and turn him around.

It may be a little difficult to hit Bai Xiao hard, but it is very simple to keep him out of the way.

At the same time, he also uses off-field projections to keep an eye on potential threats.

Not to mention the degraded seed grandmasters who were trapped by him, what he cared about the most were the two snowy mountain girls who stood up from White Night City and marched towards Red Mountain City.

Lan Lan, Qing Yue, these two people are a real threat, Xu Bailian has suffered a loss, and he has no confidence that he can not eat a second time, especially Qing Yue, who is also an adventist, seems to have more hole cards in his hand than himself, and more importantly, they are not Qin people, so ......

Thinking of this, Xu Bailian's heart was full of joy, and he couldn't help but ask Bai Xiao a question.

"Do you hate the Qin people?"

On the other hand, Bai Xiao was simply inexplicable about this question, let's have a good fight, what do you have nothing to talk to? But on the other hand, the seriousness of nature made him really answer this question.

"Of course not, I like the Qin people, and I have a very happy life in the Qin State. ”

Next, Bai Xiao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Bailian with a sneer.

"Enough, with your words, it's enough. ”

The next moment, the black mud shrouded in the ruins of the totem swelled up like an explosion, and Xu Bailian's magic energy fluctuation intensity index doubled, and in an instant, he came to the peak value of the host, and surpassed it in the next moment!

Xu Bailian has many clones, although the one who entered the test map is the "ontology", but after multiple weakenings, his strength should have dropped by half, but relying on the instinct of this host, he has stimulated amazing potential.

It couldn't be better when it comes to the final word.

Next, whether Bai Xiao has any hole cards, or those two snow-capped mountain girls are elusive, he doesn't care.

The black mud-covered totem had already been sorted out by him, and as soon as it was activated, the purification ritual would spread all over the world along the Misty Realm, and even if Zhou Yu blew himself up in the dome, it would be useless.

Thinking of this, Xu Bailian once again couldn't help laughing.

However, almost as a matter of course.

Xu Bailian's smile froze for the first time.

Because he found that his perfect plan suddenly couldn't be pushed forward.

The Purification Totem that he had repaired had not regained its proper spirituality, and even if he injected his own origin into it, the ten-meter-tall building would still be like rotten wood.

There is nothing wrong with the material of the totem, there is nothing wrong with the location, and it is even more impossible for the other party to do anything under the cover of his own black mud, so ......

"Do you want to rebuild the totem?" Bai Xiao's voice suddenly came into Xu Bailian's ears, and the slightly low voice was extremely harsh at this time.

"Don't waste your efforts, I've mixed my own blood into it, if you can't break my forbidden demon body, don't expect to set up another totem of the same kind. ”

At this moment, Xu Bailian's face was already gloomy to almost Kunlun slave.

When did this snow-capped mountain savage become so thoughtful and meticulous!?

Bai Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple to break the forbidden demon body, as long as I die, my blood will naturally fail, so, do you want to try?"
