Chapter Twenty-Nine: Building the Foundation with Strength

Su Aotian walked to the entrance of the valley and released his divine sense to investigate, only to feel that the aura fluctuations on the top of the mountain slopes on both sides were disordered, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that someone is ambushing here?"

The monk in the back didn't know why, and asked as he walked, "Why don't you go?" ”

Su Aotian said: "I think that although this valley is not long, it is also steep on both sides, and if someone is ambushed, I am afraid that I will suffer." ”

When the monks heard this, they stopped.

The face of the Zhuji monk surnamed Wei sank, and he reprimanded: "Confused! If it is a sneak attack, isn't it better in the Dark Moon Forest than here? Since we have come out safely, there will definitely be no bandits here." Don't be verbose, just go quickly!" Su Aotian thought in his heart: "Although this person's cultivation is high, his knowledge is confused. At this time, it is useless to say more, so I can only be more careful, act when I see the opportunity, and immediately put my heart sideways and walk quickly into the valley. Thinking that if the enemy attacked secretly, he would inevitably let go of the vanguard, and would only launch when the large group of men and horses entered, and he might be able to get out of the valley after taking two quick steps, so he accelerated forward.

Some monks thought he was timid and secretly despised him, while some monks were cautious by nature and secretly exercised their own vigilance.

Su Aotian was about to walk out of the valley, at this time, it was a coincidence, the tail of the team also walked into the valley, and suddenly there was a loud "boom", and then the valley exploded everywhere, and the dust at both ends was flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the rocks rolled down, blocking both ends of the valley tightly. At the same time, the ambush was launched, and all kinds of magic powers came out together, and the head and face poured down towards the valley bottom. Su Aotian had been prepared for a long time, and took advantage of the chaos to hide on the edge of the big rock blocking the way at the mouth of the valley, and basically did not be attacked.

Wild laughter sounded on the top of the slope: "The ram Taoist friend is really clever, it is expected that after they get out of the Dark Moon Forest, they must be sleepy and slack, and they are really blocked here!"

After the explosions stopped, the enemy attack also came to an end, and the dust slowly dispersed, and a wail sounded from the valley floor.

The monk surnamed Wei's face was like a pig's liver, his eyes were about to breathe fire, and he opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "Jin Xiu, Ram Qi, don't you two come to die?"

The person who laughed wildly was none other than Jin Xiu, the leader of the largest bandit gang around Yuanwu City, "Black Wind", who was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and what he called Ram Qi was the leader of another gang "Griffin", and his power was only slightly inferior to "Black Wind". This time, the two gangs came together, and most of the monks at the bottom of the valley were already as pale as earth.

When Jin Xiu heard this, he laughed and said: "Brother Wei is serious, we are ascetic people, but it is difficult to find resources, so I have to borrow one or two from the rich people, if Brother Wei is willing to make it convenient, it is grateful, haha, haha!"

The monk surnamed Wei snorted coldly and said, "Just two monks in the early stage of foundation building, they dare to come and brush the tiger's beard, I really don't know whether to live or die. These two people will be dealt with by me and my brother, and you will sweep away the rest of the sins as soon as possible. After speaking, he and the monk surnamed Gao rushed straight to the top of the slope, and the bandits at the top of the slope shouted in unison and rushed down the hillside, leaving the battlefield on the top of the slope to the monk Zhuji.

The bandit gang has about sixty or seventy people, and they are superior in number, but in terms of cultivation, they are mainly monks in the fifth or sixth stage of qi refining, and there are only more than ten of them who have cultivated in the seventh stage or more, which is quite inferior to Su Aotian's group in terms of quality. But when the sneak attack just now, he caught the monks off guard, except for Su Aotian, the rest of the monks in the fifth or sixth phase of qi refining were either killed or injured, losing more than 20 people, half of them were gone, and the bandits basically formed a "three to one" situation, making up for the lack of quality with quantity, and forming a chaotic battle in a blink of an eye.

The wind on the top of the slope is fierce, and the aura is constantly bursting, and the momentum is terrifying, and it seems that it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time.

Su Aotian stood next to the big stone at the mouth of the valley, ignored by the bandits under the chaos of the situation, at this time he secretly infiltrated the battle group, aimed at a bandit who was besieging, and the aura was running, sending out an aura bullet and hitting the bandit's back.

The bandit didn't notice it at all, and was hit by an air bullet, and involuntarily lunged forward, and was killed by the monk on the other side.

When this group fights, some of the magic powers of large-scale attacks cannot be used, so the two warring sides basically fight with aura, or hit through the air, or infuse the blade. Su Aotian succeeded in one blow, and he didn't stop, and immediately turned to another battle group, and another aura bullet was issued. In this way, the bandits who were hit by him were either killed or injured, and finally attracted the attention of the bandits, and someone immediately shouted: "Zhao Si, you go and get rid of that kid!" A bandit pulled out of the besieging crowd and pounced viciously towards Su Aotian.

This Zhao Si was a monk in the fifth stage of qi refining, holding a big knife, and slashed at Su Aotian's head, eager to cut him in two. Su Aotian was not in a hurry, saw the knife momentum, dodged slightly on one side, struck out with lightning with his right fist, hit the blade of the knife, and hit the big knife with a "dang" sound, and the remaining momentum was not gone, and Zhao Si turned around and staggered two steps. Su Aotian took advantage of the situation again, hit him in his vest, kicked Zhao Si out of the air, and lay on the ground firmly.

Although this blow was not fatal, it also kicked Zhao Si painfully, and he fell to the ground. Zhao Si was ashamed and annoyed, but the bandit was much more fierce than the monk, he got up and danced the big knife like a snowflake, eager to kill Su Aotian immediately.

Su Aotian was not in a hurry, relying on a pair of fleshy palms and this Zhao to spin around, without falling behind at all.

In fact, if he goes all out, he doesn't need to use the means of merging souls, and he can kill that Zhao Sisheng with physical resistance alone, but he now understands the hidden truth, and sees that although the situation between the two sides is stalemate, after all, his own high-level monks account for the majority, and if the fierce battle continues, the advantage of high cultivation will gradually appear, so there is no need to show it too much, just want to find a suitable opportunity to start again.

At this time, the people of Lingcui Valley also joined the battle group.

The people of Lingcui Valley, in addition to the ox carts that pulled the goods, also brought three carts, one of which was given to the two foundation building monks, and they themselves also took two carts. At the beginning, when it was attacked, the vehicle was equipped with a protective circle, and it was not affected, but at this time, seeing that the battle was in his favor, he rushed out. There were a total of five people, led by the monk of the ninth stage of qi refining, and one person was also in the ninth stage of qi refining, two people were in the eighth stage of qi refining, and one person was in the seventh stage of qi refining, and they joined the battle group separately. Their weapons and equipment are much stronger than the bandits, and they also have armor and other outfits, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of bandits with the same cultivation.

At this time, Na Jin Xiu suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother Chen won't make a move, when will he wait!"

Immediately, a gloomy voice said: "Jin Daoyou, don't panic, these clowns who jump off the beam are vulnerable!" As soon as the voice fell, another person appeared on the top of the slope. The two sides of the battle, whether they were foundation building cultivators or qi refining cultivators, all stopped and stepped back. Everyone looked at it intently, and saw that the person who appeared was not tall, his head was a little big, and he was half a scribe, which looked a little nondescript. The monk surnamed Wei secretly complained in his heart: "How can there be a foundation building monk!"

He had previously received the news that Lingcui Villa was going to recruit people to escort the materials back, and in the past hundred years, although the number of bandit gangs active in this area was not small, but the foundation building monks only had this Jin Xiu and Ram Qi, and the cultivation was in the early stage, so he specially invited the monk surnamed Zhuji to accompany him, and the two of them stepped into the threshold of foundation building decades earlier than Jin Xiu and Ram Qi, and they thought that they would never lose in cultivation. He thought he had made all the preparations, but unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of the foundation building bandits completely disrupted his plan.

The bandit who appeared later to build a foundation and cultivate was named Chen Tianxiong, no coincidence, he was originally a cultivator of the ninth stage of Qi refining, and by chance, he broke through recently. After Jin Xiu learned about it, he felt that the strength of the bandits had increased, so he invited Ram Qi and Chen Tianxiong to come and discuss a big vote, and finally set his sights on the passers-by of Lingcui Villa. According to Jin Xiu's meaning, he was originally going to sneak attack in the Dark Moon Forest, and the ram was very treacherous, thinking that the Dark Moon Forest was famous for its danger, and the monks must be strict in guarding against it, and after leaving the Dark Moon Forest, they would relax their vigilance. Moreover, there are many fierce beasts in the Dark Moon Forest, and if the fierce beasts and the monks are the first to fight, it will be even more unexpected, so they decided to set up an ambush in this small valley, and sure enough, these monks fell into the trap.

From the beginning, the three of them agreed to keep Chen Tianxiong's secret weapon in order to find out the truth of the monk. Now that they saw that the people in Lingcui Valley had made a move, it was obvious that the monk had no way back, so he called Chen Tianxiong out.

Jin Xiu laughed, looking very proud, and said: "These two foundation building monks will be dealt with by me and Brother Ram, and there is only one dry miscellaneous fish left, so I will bother Brother Chen to take action, send them away as soon as possible, and then we will work together to clean them up." Chen Tianxiong shouted, rushed down from the top of the slope, and before anyone arrived, he swung out a palm, and the aura was like a turbulent wave, killing four or five qi refining cultivators. The monks were in chaos, and the employer of the Lingcui Valley shouted loudly: "Don't panic, fellow Daoists, the monks of the ninth phase of Qi refining will follow me, and everyone will form a formation to deal with him!"

In the long river of cultivation, it was full of murderous battles between monks. Due to the huge gap between each level of cultivation, when the high-level monks faced the low-level monks, it was almost a one-sided crushing slaughter, and under the accumulation of blood and white bones, the low-level monks gradually discovered some ways to deal with the high-level monks, the most common and the most effective, that is, by virtue of the numerical advantage and the principle of the five elements, to form a formation to meet the enemy. From this, a variety of formations have also been derived, but they are all born from the five elements. In particular, sects and families often organize disciples to practice. The disciples of this Lingcui Villa were obviously skilled in daily drills, and the five of them quickly stood in accordance with their positions and formed a "Five Gate Formation". There are also a few monks in the ninth stage of Qi refining, combined according to different attributes, to form a four-like formation, saying that it is a formation, but in fact, they are standing together indiscriminately. Chen Tianxiong sneered, and slapped his hand casually, the people in the Lingcui Valley could still resist one or two, but the few monks of the ninth stage of qi refining were beaten into rolling gourds, and some of them were already seriously injured.

At this time, the bandits also rushed forward, and the monks also rushed to meet the enemy. The monks were already small, and the main force went to meet Chen Tianxiong, and the remaining less than twenty people were almost defeated with one blow, and they were defeated when they saw it, if it weren't for the narrow terrain in the valley, they were afraid that they would have already scattered and fled.

Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Su Aotian didn't care about anything else, and went straight to Chen Tianxiong, shouting loudly: "I'll entangle him, and all the Taoist friends will solve the others first!"

Chen Tianxiong suddenly saw a monk coming straight towards him, he was startled at first, and then found that this monk's cultivation was only the fourth stage of qi refining, and he couldn't help but tilt his nose angrily, and burst into a shout: "The shaft is looking for death!" A palm slapped his head, wanting to slap Su Aotian into a pulp.

Su Aotian only felt that a wave of aura was surging, unstoppable, and he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, the two souls were one, puffed up all the aura, and stepped forward with both fists.

Hearing only a loud sound of "dang", Su Aotian retreated seven or eight steps in a row, bleeding from his mouth and nose, but there was no major problem physically, and he stubbornly blocked this blow.

Everything happened so quickly that almost everyone present did not react, and the first confrontation between Su Aotian and Chen Tianxiong was over. When everyone came back to their senses and found that this monk in the fourth phase of Qi refining had not been beaten to death, and could still stand there, they couldn't help but be stupid.

Chen Tianxiong also couldn't believe his eyes, and stood there stunned, forgetting to continue attacking.

The monk surnamed Wei Zhuji was the first to react, and shouted: "Kill!" took the lead in killing Jin Xiu, and everyone reacted, the monk surnamed Gao and the ram fought together, and the monks killed the bandits, flashing Su Aotian and Chen Tianxiong opposite each other.

Chen Tianxiong was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, his eyes seemed to be bleeding, he jumped up in one step, and slapped his palms fiercely with the momentum of "Mount Tai pressing the top". Su Aotian did not retreat but advanced, and struck out with both fists.

The aura intersected, Su Aotian only felt that he hit the wall headlong, and the whole person was slapped upside down and flew out, falling to the ground, the bones of his body creaked, and the skin of his whole body was open, but he struggled to stand up again.

Summoning Yu Yong, Su Aotian didn't say a word and rushed towards Chen Tianxiong.

With his current cultivation, he can give it a go with the monks of the seventh and eighth stages of Qi refining, and compete with the monks of the ninth stage of Qi refining, and it is not completely powerless to fight back, but against the monks of the Shangzhu Foundation, it is not enough. Su Aotian blocked Chen Tianxiong's two blows, and he already knew that he had no chance of winning in the competition for aura, so he planned to start hand-to-hand combat with Chen Tianxiong, relying on his strong body to see if he could win a glimmer of life.

The two blows were ineffective, and Chen Tianxiong was already mad. Originally, when he dealt with Qi refining cultivators, ordinary immortal cultivators would not easily make such a move that would damage their own identity, but what the bandits did was robbery and murder, and they didn't care too much about their faces. At this time, he had already thrown his face out of the clouds, and the magic power of a "earth cage" was cast, and four earthen walls appeared from the ground in an instant, trapping Su Aotian in the middle, and then the aura surged, and the earth wall closed to the middle, wanting to squeeze Su Aotian into powder.

At this moment, Chen Tianxiong suddenly felt that there was a dark wind behind him, and his heart was not good, but before he could react, he already felt that a cool breeze hit his heart hard.

Chen Tianxiong spurted out a mouthful of blood, and immediately turned around and saw a woman standing on the roof of a car in the convoy in Lingcui Valley, staring at him with blazing eyes, gesturing with both hands, waiting to use his magical powers and attack.

When Chen Tianxiong saw it, he was shocked and blurted out: "There is also a foundation building monk!"

It was like a thunderclap on the ground, which shook both warring sides.

Everyone's eyes converged on the woman, and they saw that this woman had willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a thin face, a high nose bridge, skin like condensation, cheeks like pink, and a very beautiful appearance. And the aura emanating from her body is undoubtedly the foundation building monk!

At this time, only the people of Lingcui Valley already knew about it, and the others were a little stunned by this sudden change.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and Chen Tianxiong turned around, and the woman's second blow had already been issued.

I saw a huge water balloon quickly forming between her palms, and the woman pushed it with both hands, and the water balloon seemed to fly towards Chen Tianxiong slowly and urgently.

This is a water-based magic power, called "Water Polo Technique", there is no special restriction on the caster, and it can be used by monks in the early stage of general qi refining, but the difference in power between different monks is still very huge. At this time, the "Water Polo Technique" performed by this woman was huge, not to mention huge, and it was very condensed, and the aura fluctuating aura was very powerful, and all the Qi refining cultivators present were shocked.

Chen Tianxiong didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly erected an earthen wall in front of him, which was a soil-based protective magic power "shield wall technique".

The water balloon had already landed against the earthen wall in the blink of an eye, and unexpectedly, it did not produce an explosion after impact, but after pausing on the surface of the earthen wall, it slowly rotated, turning and merging into the earthen wall.

This time, it showed that the woman's aura was deep and far above Chen Tianxiong, and she was very good at controlling the water balloon, and she was actually ready to break through Chen Tianxiong's earthen wall, burst into front of Chen Tianxiong, and then give him a violent blow.

Chen Tianxiong's face was like gold paper, and while his aura was running wildly, desperately resisting, he shouted in his mouth: "Jin Daoyou help me!"

Jin Xiu and Ram Qi glanced at each other, already knowing that they couldn't do anything today, and if they didn't leave, they might lose their lives, so they suddenly whistled in their mouths, jumped back with Ram Qi and the two of them, and threw themselves towards the Dark Moon Forest like lightning, and shouted in their mouths: "Brother Chen, don't panic, I'll ask for help!" Before the words fell, he and Ram Qi had disappeared into the forest.
