Chapter 44: The Battle of Tanzhong

The golden light was overwhelming, and the five-colored cyclone in his sea of qi turned gently, and the qi of the five elements surged around, and finally it was all absorbed into the sea of qi by Lu Xia.

And the vitality that rotated with the cyclone around suddenly condensed together, faintly as if it was about to solidify, and it was about to turn into a flashing edge of the qi blade, but at this moment, the cyclone seemed to be unable to withstand the infusion of heaven and earth vitality, and slammed it, causing the originally calm and orderly sea of qi to ripple again, and the original condensed into mang's vitality gradually melted and turned into a trace of heaven and earth vitality again.

"I can't think of it, it's still worse. Lu Xia's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stood up from the ground.

And this qiē happened between the lightning and flint, and it was even more concealed by the Heavenly Talisman, so Long Qi and the three of them didn't notice that the young man in front of them almost broke through to the seventh layer of qi refining.

"The three senior brothers rest assured, the Forbidden Demon Array has stabilized, and there will be no more demonic energy impact in a short period of time. Lu Xia smiled and said.

Long Qi and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw a shock in each other's eyes, Lu Xia's momentum of pinching the magic seal gave them a deep impression, but the scene that just happened was also beyond their expectations, originally according to the original plan, it was to wait for Lu Xia to come over, and then use that knife to suppress the formation of the seal, so that they could use the power of heaven and earth and the inexplicable suppression in the firewood knife to kill the demon in the pool.

"Senior Brother Lu, do you know what is sealed in this deep pool?" Zhang Tao suddenly asked, he had also asked Senior Brother Long Qi this question, but he didn't even know Long Qi.

Long Qi and Xu Le also focused their attention on Lu Xia.

I saw Lu Xia nodded, smiled slightly, and was about to tell the secret of the Qing Soul and him in the main hall, although he hid a lot of important information in it, especially for the matter of the Ancient Battlefield and the Qingyang Patriarch, but this made the whole thing sound more thrilling and confusing.

"Is it an extraterritorial heavenly demon sealed in this deep pool?" Long Qi frowned.

"Immortal and immortal extraterritorial heavenly demons, so the matter of the Body Refining Dao Sutra is fake?" Zhang Tao's eyes were cold, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Only Xu Le didn't speak, looking at Lu Xia with interest.

"That's right, it's the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon that is sealed in the deep pool, so the plan we started couldn't kill the Heavenly Demon. Lu Xia glanced at Zhang Tao and said, "As for the "Body Refining Dao Sutra" said by Senior Brother Zhang, please forgive Senior Brother for never hearing of it. ”

"Haven't heard of it...... I haven't heard of ......," Zhang Tao muttered.

Long Qi asked, "Senior brother, presumably you should know how to kill the Heavenly Demon, let's say, what do we need to do?"

"Go down to the bottom of the pool, find the true body of the Heavenly Demon, and kill it!" Lu Xia's eyes were cold, but he was murderous, he promised the Qing Soul, but also to repay the favor of the Qingyang Sect, so no matter how dangerous this battle was, he would never retreat.

An hour later, Lu Xia finally roughly talked to the three of them about his thoughts and next actions, and explained the dangers that might be encountered at the bottom of the lake to the three of them one by one, and the three heroes of Long Qisan's outer and inner doors were the strong men secretly cultivated by the Qingyang Sect to suppress the sealed land, and the trip to the bottom of the pool was naturally obligatory, so the four of them closed their eyes on the edge of the deep pool, and the road ahead was dangerous, and they could only face it in the best state, and at the same time they were also waiting for an opportunity.

The crescent moon fell in the west, the light was dim, but in the east of the sky, there was a bright and bright star lit up, the starlight flickered, as if to compete with the crescent moon, the starlight came from nowhere, and actually shone into the bottom of the mountain.

I saw that at the moment when the morning star rose, the cold mist above the cold pool was like boiling hot water, churning out of thin air, and after a while, the mist actually intertwined with each other, combined into a faint white rune, the runes were staggered and crisscrossed in the sky above the cold pool, and instantly condensed into a five-pointed star-like pattern.

At the same time, the morning star in the sky suddenly flickered, a silver light pierced the sky, and there was a whirlpool in the void that went straight to the bottom of the mountain, only to see the silver light projected on the star-shaped pattern, the star-shaped pattern was filled with starlight, and actually sank towards Tanzhong.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the pool splashed everywhere, the shore flew sand and stones, and as the star-shaped pattern sank into the lake, the pool water around the star-shaped pattern rose up, and the clear water splashed from the air.

Long Qi and the three of them were startled and were about to retreat, but Lu Xia's voice came from the front, completely interrupting their idea of retreating, only to hear Lu Xia shouting: "Go! This is the time!" As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand and opened a hole on the forbidden demon array that was only for one person to pass by, and plopped and plunged into the cold pool.

Long Qisan frowned slightly, and then plunged into the cold pool one after the other.

The pond is full of rocks, weeds grow wildly, the water temperature is cold to the bone, and the surrounding light is extremely dim, and the visibility is extremely low.

As soon as Lu Xia entered the pool, his whole person shivered, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, and the clicking sound was endless, but at this moment, a knuckle in his left hand suddenly lit up with blue light, and instantly formed a transparent light shroud with blue light to envelop him.

With the formation of the transparent light mask, the surrounding lake water and the pressure in the lake were actually blocked outside the light mask, and he was in the light mask as if he was on land, which made Lu Xia surprised, and he had a higher opinion of the strength of the green soul.

But Lu Xia didn't worry about Long Qi and the three of them at all, the three of them not only cultivated to a high level, but also received vigorous cultivation from the door, presumably there would be no shortage of treasures to keep out the cold and water.

Sure enough, at the moment of entering the water, a faint light flashed on the three of them, and three transparent balls of light wrapped the three of them in it, which was very magical.

"Let's go. Long Qi smiled and picked up the jade card, and said, at the same time, Long Qi's voice sounded in the jade card on the waist of Lu Xia and the three of them, which made Lu Xia stunned, he never expected that this jade card had so many functions, he used to think that this was just a simple identity jade card, and he was slightly embarrassed when he thought of this.

......

Lu Xia and the three of them have been sneaking for a long time, but they have not reached the bottom of the lake after all, this cold pool seems to be even more strange than imagined, and it is unfathomable.

Suddenly, a sense of irritability appeared in Lu Xia's heart, a faint uneasiness welled up in his heart, and he felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Be careful!"

Just when Lu Xia wanted to carefully look at the surrounding environment to see where the source of the uneasiness in his heart came from, the light shield outside Long Qi's body suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light, and at the same time, Long Qi's exclamation came from the jade cards of Lu Xia and the three of them at the same time.

At the same time as Long Qi's reminder sounded, the lake around the four of them was surging, and countless fierce fluctuations surrounded them from all directions.

Lu Xia and the four of them were startled, and hurriedly looked up, only to see countless black strange fish with shrimp bodies and fish heads attacking from above their heads, and the fangs of the strange fish's open mouth were fully displayed, and the bright teeth reflected the black light and attacked Lu Xia and the four of them.

Xu Le was the first to react, only to see him pull out a long sword like a flood of autumn water from his waist, and the sharp breath made the already cold pool water even colder, and a strong aura spread in the cold pool.

The sword is like a shock, fluttering in the group of monsters, a sword can kill a strange fish, for a while, no monster can get close.

Long Qi and Zhang Tao were not inferior at all, a strong momentum swept out of the pool, and the two pinched their fingers as swords, and they were actually invincible in the attack of the strange fish.

After all, Lu Xia's strength was a little worse, and just when the attack of the strange fish arrived, he borrowed his strength in the light mask and jumped into the empty space, and the strange fish's bloody mouth could pass by him.

But soon more monsters were killed, and the blood of the slain monsters kept appearing in the lake, as if the entire pool was stained red with blood.

Lu Xia knew that his strength was not as good as that of the Dragon Seven, and this was the first time he had fought in the water, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it, so he relied on his body technique to cover the aura of the three of them, and took a relatively safe position, his body was mysterious and elegant, and his fists were like dragons constantly bombarding the body of the strange fish, which actually allowed him to fight against the monster unscathed.

The blood is surging, the blood is splashing, the pungent smell of blood is in the nose, and it is mixed with the fishy smell of the strange fish, which makes people want to be disgusted.

Fortunately, the transparent light mask they condensed into can not only keep out the water and cold, but also have the effect of blocking the smell, but the monsters outside the light mask are different, it seems that they have become more and more brutal under the stimulation of the smell of blood.

The red light of the bulging fish eyes of the dense strange fish was pervasive, and a fierce and cruel aura rushed towards Lu Xia and the four of them.

Lu Xia frowned, turned around and smashed his fist on the strange fish that came from the sneak attack, only to hear a "click", the strange fish was smashed into two alive, and the scarlet blood splashed in the broken body.

This stimulated the school of strange fish even more, and more strange fish continued to come from all directions, and the dense school of strange fish in the visible range alone made Lu Xia's scalp numb, not to mention the places that could not be seen in the shadows, I don't know how many such strange fish there were.

"It can't be like this anymore, these black strange fish are very likely to be affected by the qi of the heavenly demons, for more than three thousand years, I don't know how many such strange fish are hidden in this pool, there are too many strange fish, even if I kill them one by one, it can consume us, we must break through to the bottom of the pool." ”

Long Qi was a senior brother after all, and he was stronger than Lu Xia and the others in terms of eyesight and cultivation, so after just fighting for a while, he saw that it was a stalemate at the moment, so he reminded in a deep voice.

"Senior brother is right, we must break through to the bottom of the pool, you see, the further you go to the bottom of the pool, the thinner the fish are. Xu Le swung his sword and slashed three strange fish that were biting him with their mouths open, and then agreed.

Lu Xia and Zhang Tao nodded slightly, concentrating on killing the strange fish around them.

The four of them glanced at each other, and then the momentum of the whole body soared, the long sword in Xu Le's hand swayed up, and slashed down at the dense group of strange fish below, Long Qi pinched his fingers as a sword, and slammed it vertically and horizontally, Lu Xia and Zhang Tao were also fierce!

The vitality was agitated, the blood was surging, the remnants were flying, and for a while, the bottom of the lake was like a Shura field, all red.

Lu Xia and the others didn't seem to see the extremely murderous scene in front of them, they didn't pause at all, they borrowed the strength of their feet, and continued to attack downwards with their fingers like swords, starting another round of killing.

However, after half a cup of tea, the four of them actually killed a bloody road three zhang away, and the pool water on both sides of the blood path was all stained red with scarlet blood, and countless stumps were frozen into ice cubes, slowly floating towards the surface of the pool.

Lu Xia smiled slightly, and immediately walked down, for him, it is best to be able to save vitality, and his own cultivation is the lowest, although the capacity of vitality is nearly five times that of the same level, but his teammates are people who surpass him by a big realm, and Lu Xia is naturally happy.

Looking at the increasingly sparse school of strange fish below, the joy in the eyes of the four Lu Xia was self-evident.

Suddenly, the school of strange fish suddenly stopped attacking, and the bulging blood-red fish eyes were full of uneasiness, and they began to agitate in place, as if something was about to make them feel threatened.

The four of Lu Xia also felt the affection of the strange fish around them, and they all shouted that something was wrong, maybe an even more powerful monster was about to appear.

Long Qi looked around suspiciously, and said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, what can make this group of strange fish restless must be a more high-level existence, I hope it is not like this strange fish in front of us to live in groups, otherwise the four of us will not be able to escape the sky, I can't imagine that the heavenly demon didn't see it, but I saw so many mutated demon beasts." ”

Zhang Tao and Xu Le's eyes were cold, and they looked around with stern expressions to prevent the sudden attack of the monster.

And although Lu Xia also defended himself on the surface, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: "If I say that there is something at the bottom of this lake that we can't match at all, and even that people kill us is just a matter of a snap of a finger, I don't know what you will think." ”

Although he smiled bitterly in his heart, when he thought that Patriarch Qingyang would be sober, Lu Xia, who was holding this luck, still mentioned twelve points of caution, or in other words, he always treated it with twelve points of caution when it came to the matter of life.

After all, you only live once.

Maybe Lu Xia's luck wasn't completely bad, or maybe the extraterritorial Heavenly Demon didn't bother to attack them.

After the agitation of the strange fish stopped, suddenly, three pairs of strange eyes lit up behind the strange fish school that were as bright as lights, but they were cold.

Three pairs of strange eyes glittered in the dark, making people feel chills in their hearts, but they were covered by the blue lake and could not see clearly.

Without waiting for Lu Xia and the three of them to think about it, the surrounding group of strange fish suddenly scattered and separated, and the owner of the three pairs of strange eyes seemed to just twist his body slightly, and appeared within the range of Lu Xia and the three of them with the naked eye.

Lu Xia looked carefully, and saw that three black monster frogs the size of wild boars crossed the distance of three zhang with just a flick of their legs, and appeared two feet away from Lu Xia and the three of them.

The skin of the strange frog is actually as blue as Qiming Lake, the jagged teeth in the cracked blood basin mouth are like sharp swords, and the eyes are the size of a baby's fist, and they are flashing with a leisurely red light, as if they are looking at the uninvited guest in front of them.

"Reborn Intermediate Rank?" Ouyang Invincible sensed a slight sensation and exclaimed.

Long Qi seemed to have thought of something, and said: "This should be comparable to a mid-level demon beast that has been reborn, the three of us should be able to kill, so we don't need Senior Brother Lu's help." ”

Lu Xia was secretly happy when he heard this, understanding that Long Qi knew that his cultivation was weak, and he was afraid that he would be injured by the strange frog, but secretly he was still on guard, and even moved backwards slowly.

If, as seen just now, the movement ability of the strange frog should be about ten zhang, and now the distance between Lu Xia and the strange frog is only two zhang, Lu Xia will not feel that he is safe in this range.

Xu Le and Zhang Tao looked at Lu Xia, who was moving slowly, and knew that his cultivation would not help much, so naturally they didn't say much, and the three mid-level demon beasts that had been born out of their cultivation were just a slight waste of strength.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

Before Lu Xia could retreat to what he thought was a safe distance, the strange frog seemed to be impatient, screamed, and killed the three of them.

Xu Le's long sword danced, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and at the same time, his left hand also shot out a sword qi, killing the strange frog from another direction.

Zhang Tao's cold face was cold, and he waved his hand to kill it, his body was full of strong strength, and the roar of qi and blood echoed, and his fists were fists to the flesh, and he actually beat the strange frog back step by step.

Lu Xia, who was still tiptoeing back, quickly exploded the vitality on his body at the moment when the strange frog launched an attack, and he swept out of the battle in an instant.

However, the strange fish around him only watched the battle of the strange frog with a little uneasiness, and did not have the slightest intention of attacking Lu Xia again, which made Lu Xia's heart finally let go.

"Bang!"

The attack of the strange frog's claws was once again forced back by the joint efforts of Long Qi and the three of them, Xu Le's long sword intersected with the sharp claws of the strange frog, and the sound of metal collision actually sounded, which showed the hardness of the strange frog's claws.

Long Qi and the three of them rushed forward again, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, the vitality was agitated, the three strange frogs were forced to retreat again and again, and the strange fish group of onlookers around them also began to be more restless, and their blood-red eyes seemed to be enraged.

Suddenly, a trace of fierce madness flashed in the eyes of the three strange frogs who were forced back by the joint efforts of Long Qisan, and three soft and tough tongues like leather whips shot out of the mouth of the monster frog, and they were killed in front of Long Qisan, as if they were going to strangle the three of them in their mouths.

There was also a strange frog that was not far from Lu Xia, and it actually retracted it violently, and attacked Lu Xia with its tongue that should have been rolled towards Xu Le.

Lu Xia's face changed, and the dodging technique he had practiced for seven years was used, and when the tongue of the strange frog was about to reach, it suddenly flashed, and the tongue of the strange frog passed by Lu Xia.

But the next scene made Lu Xia's pupils continue to contract, because he saw the strange tongue that he had dodged suddenly paused, and then rolled up at Lu Xia's body, and curled around Lu Xia's body before Lu Xia had time to react.

The strange tongue became tighter and tighter, and Lu Xia's physical power was stimulated, which seemed to completely cancel out the pulling power of the strange tongue, and this discovery made Lu Xia's heart that was about to jump out fall back into his body again.

Since the strange tongue can't help him, then let's try his Lu Xia's attack.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Three fierce fists smashed into the tongue of the strange frog fiercely, and the huge force shook the strange tongue continuously, and finally under the bombardment of the last punch, perhaps the strange frog was in pain, and finally retracted its tongue.

At this time, Lu Xia had time to look at the battle situation, but then there was a burst of surprise, because Long Qi and the three of them didn't know when they had killed the other two monster frogs, and they were killing towards this last monster frog at this time.

After a while, the last strange frog was killed, and the surrounding strange fish rushed to the top of the pool, as if frightened, and the strange screams continued, coupled with the bloody limbs everywhere, the smell of blood, a scene that made people feel chest tight.

"That's right, I was able to contain a demon beast comparable to a mid-level rebirth for a while. Long Qi nodded slightly and praised.

Xu Le also smiled brightly, shook the sword flower slightly, shook all the blood on the sword, and said, "Senior Brother Lu's combat power is extraordinary, and it has been a big step since the last time we met. ”

Zhang Tao's face was slightly gloomy, and there seemed to be a faint cold light in his eyes.

Lu Xia smiled noncommittally, he didn't value such praise, especially in this place where human lives were at stake, he just wanted to help the Qingyang Patriarch kill the extraterritorial heavenly demon as soon as possible and leave this ghost place earlier.

Since the four of them killed the three monster frogs that were equivalent to the mid-level demon beasts that had been reborn, they had never been hindered on the way to continue their sneaking.

Even the originally dim light in the lake began to slowly become brighter as the three of them continued to approach the bottom of the lake.

The three of them didn't know how deep they had sneaked, and finally an hour later, Lu Xia and the three of them saw the scene at the bottom of the pool clearly through the much brighter light.

The bottom of the pond is full of weeds and corals, countless karst caves are vertical and horizontal, stalagmites, stone mountains, stone pillars and so on.

One of the most striking is that in a huge karst cave, there are bursts of fierce black light, and the black light is magnificent and mysterious under the reflection of stalagmites and other karst accumulated materials.

At the entrance of the cave, there are several strange stones with extremely strange shapes, and some mysterious textures are carved on the strange stones, and the textures are vertical and horizontal, and the mystery is incomparable.

When the black light in the cave shines on the strange stones, it exudes a pitch-black light like ink, and there seems to be countless fierce aura in the black light, and the whole bottom of the pool exudes a murderous aura that makes the soul tremble, and the rich murderous aura continues to diffuse from the black light, and the surrounding pool water is as cold as frost, and the silence of death is like death.

In Lu Xia's eyes, this cave is like a monster that chooses people to eat, and those strange stones are more like the jagged fangs of this monster.

"This is the place to suppress demons?" Long Qi frowned.

"If Uncle Song is not wrong, it must be here, you see that those stones with lines are actually the real seal in this cold pool - the Demon Suppression Stone. Lu Xia explained according to what he knew, and at the same time did not forget to push the source of the news to Song Shichao.
