The entrance to the ground cave leading to the eighth layer, although Qiao Yuan didn't know where it was, but Ru Lan had said before that he could find it as long as he followed the direction of the Yin Wind flowing.

Qiao Yuan and Qinglian galloped all the way, their speed was very fast, and after these five hours of recuperation, they thought that the others had probably entered the eighth layer.

But just after the two of them walked forward with a stick of incense, there was a sudden muffled hissing sound in front of them.

Qiao Yuan and Qinglian stopped almost at the same time, and their expressions slowly became solemn.

It didn't take long for them to see the ground in front of them rise high and rush towards this side, and they didn't have to think about it to know that there were monsters moving in the dirt.

"It's not good, this is a mud beetle, Xiao Daoyou, we have to act quickly and kill them all, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”

Qinglian saw those bulging lands, her face immediately became anxious, and she didn't have time to explain more, she cast a spell to attack the ground, and at the same time reminded Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan's eyes narrowed, he raised his hand to take out the Fengyuan Sword, and kept swinging the sword light downward.

Although he had never heard of a mud beetle, seeing Lian's anxious appearance, it was obvious that this kind of insect was very difficult to provoke.

As the two of them attacked, the high bulge of earth immediately burst open, and insects the size of a foot shy burrowed out of the ground and spewed black liquid at the two of them.

Those insects were shaped like centipedes, but they had no legs and feet, and their whole bodies were covered with oily black carapaces, which looked as hard as iron, and to Qiao Yuan's surprise, each of them actually had the strength of a third-order intermediate level.

After counting carefully, there were twelve mud beetles on the ground, that is to say, they had to face twelve demon beasts equivalent to the middle stage of Jindan monks, even if Qiao Yuan's strength far exceeded that of monks of the same level, they couldn't help but have a little headache.

"The mud beetles are social monsters, once they are allowed to escape, or if they delay for a long time, there will be a steady stream of mud beetles chasing us, so we have to kill these twelve mud beetles in the shortest possible time. ”

The petals in Qinglian's hand fluttered, constantly hitting downward, and seeing that Qiao Yuan was a little hesitant, she explained in a hurry.

As soon as Qiao Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he no longer hesitated, pinched his hands and pointed downward.

A finger fell, and the yin wind howled, directly converging a yin wind tornado, shrouding towards those mud beetles.

"It's useless, the mud beetle is a unique demon beast here, and it is naturally resistant to the yin wind. ”

Qing Lian saw Qiao Yuan unleash her Yin Evil Finger again, although she was amazed at how he could trigger the Yin Wind here, Qing Lian still shook her head and sighed.

Sure enough, when the Yin Wind Tornado shrouded the mud beetles, those insects remained motionless, still lying on the ground, as if no matter how strong the Yin Wind was, it would have no effect on them.

At that moment, the mud beetles burrowed into the dirt again, scurrying underground, and when they came below the two, they swooped out and flew straight for them.

At the same time, the mouths of those mud beetles kept spewing out black and slimy liquid, and as soon as those liquids fell to the ground, they would corrode a large hole, which obviously could not be contaminated.

Qinglian waved her sleeves lightly, and immediately a series of colorful petals flew out, directly enveloping a mud beetle completely.

In a few moments, the multicolored petals dissipated into a burst of spiritual light, and the mud beetle fell from the sky, fell to the ground and fluttered a few times, no longer moving.

At the same time, Qiao Yuan's right hand pointed down again, and this time, the same hurricane flew out, enveloping a mud beetle in it.

Qinglian frowned slightly, and secretly said why this kid didn't listen to persuasion, he said that his trick was useless against mud beetles, why did he still come to this trick.

But then, Qinglian was stunned, only to see that the mud beetle shrouded by the hurricane had a thin layer of ice on the pitch-black carapace.

In the blink of an eye, the entire mud beetle was completely frozen, and with a bang, the mud beetle fell to the ground and shattered into countless ice slags.

Qinglian glanced sideways at Qiao Yuan, and secretly said that this guy really has a lot of means.

Without having time to think about it, she once again shifted her mind to dealing with the mud beetle, but Qiao Yuan kept pinching the trick and mobilizing the cold and evil qi in the dantian.

After a cup of tea, there were only three of the original twelve mud beetles left, and although the mud beetles were not very intelligent, their instinct was to tell them that it was time to move the rescuers.

With a thud, the three mud beetles burrowed into the dirt together, galloping away in three directions.

Qiao Yuan and Qinglian glanced at each other, didn't say much, and directly turned into two long rainbows and chased in both directions.

At the same time, Qiao Yuan's heart moved, and he summoned Bai Yue out and asked it to drag the third mud beetle.

Not long after, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian turned back at the same time, the two looked at each other and smiled, and flew together in the direction where Bai Yue went.

Bai Yue is only the strength of the third-order primary level, the strength of the mud beetle is higher than it, and the mud beetle's whole body is covered by a hard carapace, and Bai Yue has no way to start.

Therefore, for a while, the wolf and the worm were frozen there, and it was not until Qiao Yuan and Qinglian arrived that they killed the last mud beetle.

"Xiao Yuan, your spirit beast is not bad. ”

Seeing that Bai Yue was unscathed, Qing Lian couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and at the same time thought of the previous scene where Bai Yue sneaked up on the woman in blue, and her eyes were a little more appreciative.

Qiao Yuan smiled without saying a word, took Bai Yue back from the space bead, and then continued to gallop forward with Qing Lian.

Along the way, the two of them were quite unhappy, and after killing the mud beetle, they met a group of yin spirits.

Fortunately, there were not many of those yin spirits, and the two joined forces, and it only took a stick of incense to solve them all.

Then they encountered necromantic ghosts, as well as some other monsters.

However, there was no danger, and two hours later, Qiao Yuan finally sensed the entrance to the eighth layer with his divine sense.

"It's them again. ”

At the same time, Qinglian frowned, clenched her silver teeth, and said extremely angrily.

Qiao Yuan also frowned, his expression slowly became cold, and there was a young man in white and a woman in blue standing at the edge of the entrance of the cave, it was Gu Shaofan and the hall master of Qingquan Palace.

The two of them also noticed the arrival of Qiao Yuan and Qinglian, Gu Shaofan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his handsome and extraordinary face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost.

And the woman in blue couldn't hide the murderous intent in her eyes, and a pair of jade hands were already clenched.

She still remembered the pain of her back being cut and falling into the yin wind tornado, eroded by the yin qi, like a thousand cold knives cutting through her wounds, and she almost collapsed.

"What are the two Taoist friends doing standing here, do they still want to learn?"

Qiao Yuan slowly landed a hundred feet in front of Gu Shaofan and the woman in blue, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked lightly.

Qinglian heard Qiao Yuan's words, and thought of the scene where he ridiculed Gu Shaofan before, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face.

"What kind of thing are you, and you are qualified to compete with the master of this hall. ”

The woman in blue thought of being so miserable by this kid in the middle of Jindan before, and her heart swelled with anger, and she immediately opened her mouth to sneer.

"I'm not qualified to compete with the fairy, but I'm very concerned about the fairy's dress?"

Qiao Yuan knew that the two of them could wait here, I was afraid that this matter would not be good, and even so, he didn't mind being angry with them.

"You...... You're damned!"

Qiao Yuan's words were like a sharp knife, directly revealing the scar of the woman in blue, she trembled with anger, stared at Qiao Yuan angrily, and shouted sharply.

Qinglian on the side chuckled, and suddenly felt some sympathy for the woman in blue.

"Lord Liu, don't talk nonsense with him. ”

Gu Shaofan knew that Qiao Yuan's words could make people angry, so he couldn't help but remind.

"You come to deal with Qinglian, the main hall master killed this person with his own hands. ”

The murderous intent in the eyes of the woman in blue had already been revealed, making her originally beautiful face look a little hideous.

Gu Shaofan frowned, took a step forward, and said word by word.

"Lord Liu, he is the person of the Lord of the Flower Palace, it is best to leave it to Gu to solve it. ”

"Okay, but you have to kill him. ”

The woman in blue thought for a moment, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and nodded.

As soon as her words fell, she saw two figures approaching quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they approached.

Since they had to fight, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian had the idea of striking first, and before they finished discussing, they had already attacked.

Qiao Yuan held the Fengyuan Sword in his hand, twisted his wrist rapidly, pulled out sword flowers in the air, and went straight to Gu Shaofan.

Gu Shaofan sneered, raised his right hand, and a white folding fan slipped out of his sleeve.

With a bang, Gu Shaofan threw off the folding fan and danced rapidly, blocking Qiao Yuan's attack.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Qiao Yuan's eyes immediately flashed, and then his right hand swung faster, and the sword move in his hand became even more swift.

The silver sword and the folding fan collided constantly, making the sound of gold and stone colliding, and at the same time, sparks flew everywhere, and it looked like they were evenly matched.

A look of surprise flashed in Gu Shaofan's eyes, he didn't expect this kid in the middle of Jindan to make such a swift and powerful move, and even he didn't have the slightest upper hand.

But after a stick of incense, the surprise in Gu Shaofan's eyes turned into surprise.

He only felt that Qiao Yuan's sword dance was getting faster and faster, and his strength was getting bigger and bigger, and he had a tendency to fall into disadvantage.

Close combat is Qiao Yuan's advantage, but this Gu Shaofan is not bad, much stronger than Meng Rong, and after playing a stick of incense, he didn't show a trace of fatigue.

On the other side, Qinglian and the woman in blue were fighting with spells and magic weapons in a decent manner.

Both of them are hall masters, and their strength is almost the same, they usually don't look up and see each other in the sect, and they know each other very well, so it may be difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

"What's going on with this Gu Shaofan, he can't even hold back a hairy boy in the middle of Jindan. ”

The two girls knew that they couldn't resolve the battle quickly, so they kept paying attention to the fight between Gu Shaofan and Qiao Yuan.

Originally, the woman in blue still thought that Gu Shaofan should be able to solve the battle quickly, but she didn't think that after a stick of incense, the two were still deadlocked, and even Gu Shaofan faintly showed signs of being suppressed.

The woman in blue had an extremely ugly face, if it weren't for the fact that this man had a close relationship with the palace master, she would have doubted whether this person had deliberately released water.

As for Qinglian, she had a look of surprise, and there was a strange flow in her beautiful eyes, but she didn't see that Qiao Yuan's strength was so strong, just in the middle of Jindan, he could compete with Jindan Great Perfection Monk.

In this way, another half an hour passed, Gu Shaofan's physical strength was already a little exhausted, and his fan movement was much slower, while Qiao Yuan, on the other hand, was in good shape, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously in good shape.

Gu Shaofan's face was a little pale, and he looked very ugly, his eyes were fixed on Qiao Yuan's eyes, and he actually saw a trace of excitement in them.

"This person has cultivated physical arts, and his physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary monks. ”

Gu Shaofan unconsciously regretted fighting Qiao Yuan in close quarters, thinking that he had already looked up to this person, but he didn't expect to underestimate it.

Thinking of this, a hint of decisiveness flashed in Gu Shaofan's eyes, and he took strange steps under his feet, and the folding fan kept spinning in front of him.

After a few breaths, his whole body suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already standing fifty feet away.
