Of these twenty or so scattered cultivators, the highest cultivation level is the sixth layer of the spiritual realm, the lowest level is also three layers, and the fourth or fifth level is the most.

Zhao Yuan's cultivation is a little higher, Ao Gaoshan is seven layers, Wang Ying is six layers, Mu Lingqing and Chen Kexin are all five layers, but Zhao Yuan is a small realm above everyone, and Hinayana enters the second layer of the spiritual realm.

In terms of superficial strength, the casual cultivators have a slight advantage in the fact that there are many people.

But you can't just look at the surface strength in battle, otherwise you don't have to fight, just compare it to the level.

The level of cultivation is not easy to compare, because cultivation is invisible to outsiders, unless there is a special probing spell. Such spells are relatively rare, and few low-level disciples are willing to learn them. Originally, the resources were not enough, so why should we learn this? I can't fight or resist.

None of the people here can detect spells.

Both sides can only judge the strength of the other side by their own experience.

The encirclement of the cultivators was relatively large, more than ten steps away. Zhao Yuan and the others defended in situ and formed a circular defensive array, and Zhao Yuan was protected in the center.

Some of the scattered cultivators who can attack from a distance are constantly firing various spell missiles at them, but these spell missiles are easily blocked by the shield.

As Zhao Yuan's guards, the four of Ao Gaoshan have shield skills.

Ao Gaoshan's is the seventh-level Jiuyang shield, the [Super Defense] shield, Wang Ying and Mu Lingqing's [High Defense] shield, which has been refined to the fifth level, only Chen Kexin's shield is almost there, the [Medium Defense] shield, and the third-level thick earth shield.

It's a deliberately designed match. They don't have an attack mission, all their responsibilities are to protect Zhao Yuan, and the real attack depends on Zhao Yuan's ten steps.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan and the others were just shrinking in place, the cultivators began to grow bolder, and pressed towards them step by step.

"Advance three steps!" Zhao Yuan seized the opportunity and ordered.

Several people immediately took action and rushed forward led by Ao Gaoshan. They were still in a good formation when they burst on, and they were clearly well trained.

The advance of Zhao Yuan and others caused the distance of the encirclement to suddenly shorten, becoming less than ten steps.

Zhao Yuan raised his hand and there was a sword light, and a loose cultivator with a shield was cut, and blood splashed the faces of the people around him.

The Ten Steps Slash is a spell that can only be learned by Hinayana monks who have entered the spiritual realm, and its power is not comparable to the spells of universal energy, not to mention being refined to the seventh level by Zhao Yuan.

The cultivators opposite her were shocked by this blow and hurriedly retreated, trying to get out of her attack range.

Zhao Yuan didn't give the order to pursue, he actually sat down on the spot, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a blue pill and took it with his head held high.

This pill is a tonic elixir, which can produce a large amount of spiritual energy in the body in a short period of time after taking it, and a pill can fill the [spirit pool] of a monk who has entered the spiritual realm.

The spirit pool is a part of the spirit root, which is a container used to store the spiritual energy.

The size of the spirit pool is related to the realm, and has nothing to do with the level of the Dao. In other words, as long as there is no breakthrough, the size of the spirit pool will not change.

There is a unit of measurement for the amount of aura-[yuan]. The amount of spiritual energy that can be held in the spiritual pool of the spiritual realm is set as ten yuan spiritual energy.

Generally speaking, ten yuan aura is almost enough to cast seven or eight spells.

But not every spiritual realm monk's spiritual pool is ten yuan aura, the quality of the spiritual root will also affect the size of the spiritual pool, the spiritual pool of the upper grade spiritual root will be half larger than the spiritual pool of the middle grade spiritual root, that is, the fifteen yuan spiritual aura, and the spiritual pool of the lower grade spiritual root will even be as low as five yuan aura, which can be described as a huge impact.

The spiritual pool of the Hinayana spiritual realm monk is twice that of the spiritual realm monk, and Zhao Yuan is a high-grade spiritual root, which is enough for thirty-one yuan spiritual energy.

Ten steps to slash the spirit is not much, only two elements of spiritual energy are needed at a time, it stands to reason that her spiritual energy should be quite sufficient, but before the battle, she had been driving the flying island with all her might, and she had already consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and now all the spiritual energy has been used up.

Reiki cannot be self-generated, so the monks must prepare things like the elixir. A pill of qualified quality can replenish ten yuan of spiritual energy, which is a relatively good spiritual tonic thing.

The elixir cannot be taken during battle, because the aura in the elixir needs to be actively absorbed like cultivation, and this time will be relatively long, usually taken and absorbed before and after the battle.

Everyone's Dao method is different, their cultivation is different, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will be different.

For Zhao Yuan, it would take about a third of an hour to absorb the ten-yuan aura, which was almost five minutes on earth.

However, with the enemy around, will she be able to absorb it smoothly?

She sat up distractedly, not looking worried. Ao Gaoshan and the others didn't look very surprised when they saw this, but they defended more tightly.

It seems that they have been in a lot of this situation before.

Many casual cultivators know the tonic elixir, and as soon as Zhao Yuan takes the tonic elixir, they know that her aura has been used up.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack!

"She's out of energy, let's rush up to melee fight!" someone yelled.

Generally speaking, melee attacks are far more powerful than ranged attacks, so taking advantage of Zhao Yuan's lack of attack power for the time being, it is a good choice to step forward and melee combat.

The cultivators coordinated their steps and pressed up from all sides.

They quickly pressed in front of Zhao Yuan and the others, and then used various means of attack to try to break the shield array.

But after fighting for a while, not even a single shield was broken, only Chen Kexin's thick earth shield dimmed a little.

The scattered cultivators are all [medium attack] and [low attack] spells, and most of them are no more than three or four levels, not to mention the Jiuyang shield of Ao Gao Mountain, even the shields of Wang Ying and Mu Lingqing can't be beaten.

Especially Ao Gaoshan, except for the attack of the seventh-level fireball technique, which could also do some damage, the other attacks were simply tickling for him.

It's not that the casual cultivators don't want to learn a better attack spell, as long as they have too much to learn, they can't take care of it at all, the [High Attack] spell is good, but it is particularly resource-intensive.

But basically I can't move it, or it is the surprise of the scattered cultivators, and secretly scolding these people's defensive spells How many levels have they learned?

There weren't many monks who mainly studied defensive spells, and even fewer who learned defensive spells at such a high level, they wouldn't have thought that Zhao Yuan's team was full of defensive monks, and they were also [High Defense] or even [Super Defense]!

"This turtle shell is really fucking hard, but the light will be useless to prevent fart, let's grind and grind them!

Although the damage dealt by the Loose Cultivators' attacks to the shield is low, the cumulative damage from multiple attacks is still considerable.

Seeing that the opponent was completely defensive, the cultivators let go of their hands and feet to attack.

Chen Kexin seized an opportunity, controlled the shield with his left hand, and slashed at a loose cultivator with a fire knife in his right hand.

The man was strikingly hitting Wang Ying's shield, but he didn't expect the opponent who had been shrinking to suddenly counterattack, and he couldn't dodge for a while, and was cut to the base of his thigh, and his entire leg was cut off.

The wound caused by the fire knife was scorched, but there was no need to stop the bleeding, and maybe he could survive.

Although Chen Kexin's defensive ability is average, he is an offensive and defensive monk, who can not only attack from afar, but also fight in close combat.

Not only does he have attack power, in addition to Ao Gaoshan, who is purely defensive, Wang Ying and Mu Lingqing also have a low-level attack technique, which is definitely not good for attacking, but if they fight back from time to time, they can still pose a lot of threat to the opponent.

This made the scattered cultivators very uncomfortable, although these attacks, except for Chen Kexin's at the beginning, did not cause any actual damage, but they had some scruples, and they could not attack the defensive array with peace of mind, and the attack could not go up if they lost.

The water drops are pierced, and finally, Chen Kexin's shield is broken!

"It's broken!Quick!Break in! Split!," the cultivators were overjoyed.

At this time, he saw Zhao Yuan standing up with a cold face.

The scattered cultivators' hearts were cold, and the few scattered cultivators who were about to break in could only stop, if they broke in now, they didn't have to think about it to know who her priority attack was.

The half-moon-shaped knife light flashed, and the chest of a loose cultivator was broken in two. This person attacked the most ferociously, and was first named by Zhao Yuan.

The casual cultivators have turned on their defensive techniques.

Another flash of sword light, and another loose cultivator with a shield was cut off.

The cultivators were finally scared, and from the very beginning, no one could stop this woman's blow!

Although Zhao Yuan's ten-step slash is very strong, her aura is limited, and the cultivators can pay a few lives to consume her aura.

However, the cultivators didn't know how much aura Zhao Yuan had replenished, because they didn't know if what she was taking was necessarily a tonic elixir, and even if it was a matter of quality, they didn't know how much aura she needed for one blow.

Even if they do, who can guarantee that they won't be named?

No matter how big the reward is, you have to have a life to take it!

Some of the more obscene ones immediately ran away first, which instantly triggered a big escape. Even the two loose cultivators who were in charge of containing the two Qingbo disciples immediately fled when they saw that something was wrong.

Everyone's shield is not open, and they can't block a blow anyway, and it drags down the speed when they are open, and it doesn't matter if there is anyone behind the palace, anyway, there are so many people, and they can only cut one at a time.

Zhao Yuan then sent two more ten-step slashes, and as a result, the lives of the two slow runners were lost, and she didn't bother to chase the rest.

One is that her aura is insufficient, and the other is that those scattered cultivators are quite experienced in escaping, and they are completely scattered and escaped, no two people are running together, and they can't chase a few.

They still have a mission to do, as long as they save people, it's over.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan and the others did not initiate a pursuit, the two Qingbo disciples naturally did not dare to pursue them alone, not to mention that they had also reached the point of exhaustion.

"Thank you for saving your life! I don't know what to call them? After we return to the school, we can truthfully report the merits of a few people. The female disciple stepped forward and said, although she was talking about "a few", but she said it to Zhao Yuan, and she had already seen who was the head.

"No thanks, my name is Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan said flatly.

"It's Zhao Shangren. Wang Ying added on the side.

"It turned out to be Zhao Shangren, rude. The female disciple made a wedge, and she had actually guessed it.

The male disciple next to her heard that it was a Venerable Master, and he also hurriedly saluted.

"According to the rules, you have to look at your Qingbo disciple order. Wang Ying said again.

"Oh, yes. The two did as they were told.

Zhao Yuan looked at their Qingbo disciple token, which indicated the identity of the Qingbo outer disciple, the male was called Zhang Tianfan, and the female was called Huang Fenglan.

"What's the matter with you, why did you provoke such a large group of loose cultivators?" Zhao Yuan returned the token to them.

The two were about to answer when they heard an angry voice sound.

"You waste, you still have an immortal face?" I saw Mu Lingqing pointing at a person and scolding angrily.

The man was walking towards this side, dressed in luxurious clothes, but his face was muddy—it was Dong Xiaoping.
