The owls howled mournfully, and the wind whistled.
Enveloped in an earthy yellow spiritual light, Tu Shan pursued the enemy at an unimaginable speed, following the sensations of his Spiritual Sense.
Earth Escape Technique!
The Tier 2 Five Elements Escape Technique allows cultivators to briefly merge into the Earth Attribute spiritual energy floating in the world.
This reduces resistance during flight.
Even the Earth Attribute spiritual energy can become an aid to him.
If it were inside the earth's soil, the speed would only be faster.
Since I acquired this skill by chance.
The carefree life of the hermit cultivators in Tu Shan was truly wonderful.
They would occasionally rob and plunder to obtain abundant resources, then buy elixirs and seek out a place to cultivate in seclusion.
He wasn't afraid of being hunted down.
Once the Earth Escape Technique is used, those in the Qi Refining Stage can fly more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) away.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, this effect multiplies several times, almost always reaching tens of feet in length.
It's as if the earth has been shrunk to an inch.
The only limitation is that this technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
Not sustainable.
"No need for a long haul. Just catch up with Pill Dust Master, engage him briefly, and wait for Wang Haichao to catch up."
"We caught up!"
With a gleam in their eyes, Tu Shan burst forth from the earth.
The attack erupted the moment it was unearthed.
A small seal rapidly expanded, pressing down from bottom to top.
It was as if the world had turned upside down!
However, what he saw was Luo Chen calm and composed, with a cold smile on his face.
What is he laughing at?
Just as Tu Shan was wondering, Luo Chen made his move.
With hands clasped together, a towering, earthen-yellow mountain, ten zhang high, suddenly materialized.
They bombarded the large seal from top to bottom.
The two forces clashed and remained locked in a stalemate.
Luo Chen lightly stomped one foot on the mountaintop, unleashing a tremendous force that sent the small seal crashing down with a thunderous roar.
Seizing the opportunity to obstruct the attack, Luo Chen spat out Sword Pellet, which burst forth with golden light.
Countless Sword Light swept towards Tu Shan.
Tu Shan didn't have time to look at his own Repeating Seal; he hurriedly activated his defensive Magic Tool to block the oncoming golden light.
"He can actually control the Sword Pellet? Could he be Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivators?"
Amidst his surprise and doubt, a giant flying shield enveloped him completely.
Beyond the giant shield, Sword Light flashed, echoing with clanging sounds.
But at least he averted the most dangerous moment.
" Pill Dust Master, surrender now! Fellow Daoist Wang is on his way."
Just as he was feeling smug, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye.
"Huh?"
Just as he was surprised, the dark figure suddenly pounced, like a ghost, and passed through the Flying Giant Iron Shield.
"Roar!"
"What's this..."
It was cold, eerie, and unlike anything human.
As Tu Shan was gripped by fear, a dark figure flashed past.
Then, he squatted on the ground, holding something in his hands, and began to devour it.
Thump! Thump!
The Repeating Seal and the Flying Giant Iron Shield, having lost their master's control, crashed heavily to the ground.
Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the lifeless corpse lying limp on the ground.
"You're so brave!"
"They actually dared to chase after us alone."
Luo Chen reached out and snatched the small seal, the iron shield, Tu Shan's Storage Bag, and even the flawless Dharma Robe into his hands.
After glancing at it, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
This iron shield is rather rubbish, only of superior grade. It was nearly destroyed by his Sword Pellet attack just now.
This small seal, however, is quite remarkable, with several array formations engraved on it, making it Top-Grade Magic Tool.
For those who have just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, this amount of wealth might be quite impressive.
But in front of Luo Chen, they amounted to nothing.
Although he was caught up just now, he had already set up the Soul Refining Banner in advance.
Little Black had already been summoned by him and was hiding nearby.
He only needs to unleash an attack, catching Tu Shan off guard, so that Little Black can seize the opportunity to strike.
It appeared to be two Foundation Establishment cultivators pursuing Luo Chen.
In reality, it was Luo Chen and a Ghost General comparable to Foundation Establishment who seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Tu Shan.
"In this way, the roles of offense and defense are reversed!"
Luo Chen suddenly looked up and stared straight ahead.
Wang Haichao abruptly stopped, looking at Luo Chen with surprise and uncertainty.
"Instant kill?!"
" Gang Leader Wang, why are you so far away? Why don't you come over and catch up?"
Luo Chen walked towards Wang Haichao step by step, seemingly slowly but actually quickly. A gentle breeze gathered, and in an instant, Gale Sweep.
The Perfected Carefree Wind Riding empowers the user, with golden light surrounding them and the sword tip emitting Sword Edge.
Seeing this, Wang Haichao shuddered.
He retreated step by step.
" Luo Chen, this matter seems to be a misunderstanding!"
Is it a misunderstanding?
Luo Chen smiled slightly, then his expression turned ferocious.
"Go to hell with your misunderstanding!"
With fingers pointing like swords, the Sword Pellet exploded, sending hundreds of Sword Light flying across the sky.
The speed was astonishing.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Wang Haichao snorted coldly, then swung his sword with a backhand, unleashing a surge of azure waves crashing against the shore.
The Sword Light, which was originally moving at an extremely high speed, became unable to move forward at all under these layers of waves.
Gradually disappearing.
"I am not Sword Cultivator after all, and I cannot utilize the Sword Pellet to its fullest potential."
"If a true Sword Cultivator were present, perhaps they could instantly gather the Sword Light into a single sword, cutting through the waves."
Luo Chen sighed with regret.
With a flick of his sleeve.
The aftershocks of that sword strike were completely wiped away.
Water droplets, imbued with a spiritual aura, drifted and fell to the ground.
His gaze sharpened.
But behind the curtain of rain, Wang Haichao, having failed in his attack, retreated instead of advancing, fleeing wildly back the way he came.
Wang Haichao was horrified.
Luo Chen's strength completely exceeded his expectations.
They were able to annihilate Tu Shan in the blink of an eye.
"I only thought he had run away with a Second-Order Explosive Ape, I didn't expect he had also subdued a Ghost General!"
" The Soul Refining Banner, isn't this a magical Magic Tool Li Da secretly crafted?"
"Could it be that during the three years he disappeared in seclusion, he went to Ghost City?"
"No wonder Li Da disappeared without a trace. I thought he had left Great River Market, but I never expected that Luo Chen would kill him and rob him of his treasure..."
Countless thoughts surged through my mind.
Wang Haichao no longer had any desire to compete with Luo Chen.
With one human and one ghost joining forces, he had no chance of winning.
Moreover, Luo Chen's previous burst of speed was too fast; if they were to get into a tough fight, they might not even have a chance to escape.
He planned to go back and reunite with Huo Hu first, and then target Luo Chen.
With Huo Hu's Foundation Establishment strength and the Magic Treasure he possesses, he should have already killed Wang Yuan!
Just as he was pondering this, a sudden, intense sense of danger struck him.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, a defensive light shield enveloping his entire body.
A deep roar exploded in my ears.
Three enormous dragon heads slammed into the defensive light shield with lightning speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three azure Flood Dragon were instantly thrown hundreds of meters away by the enormous recoil.
Even its size has shrunk by more than half.
Wang Haichao looks at it again now.
Nine azure Flood Dragon surrounded him tightly from all sides, left and right, up and down.
Then, a figure soared in from behind like a roc.
With a leap, he landed on the Flood Dragon's head, which was formed from spiritual energy at the very back.
"Tsk tsk, not bad defensive magic Magic Tool, it even has its own recoil force."
Wang Haichao took a deep breath and gripped the blue- Top-Grade Flying Sword.
When exactly did Luo Chen set up this hidden scheme?
This issue is no longer important.
The other person definitely won't answer him.
Staring at the figure riding Flood Dragon, Wang Haichao said coldly:
"Do you really intend to wipe them all out?"
"What else?"
Luo Chen chuckled and lightly raised his hands in the air, continuously casting out Dao Spirit Art.
As Pill Refiner, he was already wealthier than most people.
Having experienced several major battles, he selectively absorbed all sorts of spoils of war into his body.
And among these Magic Tool...
Luo Chen was most comfortable using the Sword Pellet, which was fast, quick to react, and could be used in an instant.
The most powerful is the Soul Refining Banner.
It's not that the Soul Refining Banner is strong, but rather that there's a Second-Order Ghost General Little Black inside.
However, the Ghost General is not so easy to control. Having just devoured Tu Shan's Foundation Establishment Divine Soul, it is currently completely uncontrollable.
In fact, this is also why Luo Chen is not very familiar with the Soul Refining Banner.
If orders had been given beforehand forbidding Little Black from devouring souls during battle, this wouldn't have happened.
Besides the Sword Pellet and the Soul Refining Banner.
Luo Chen also possessed a Magic Tool, whose power was extremely formidable.
During the Qi Refining Stage, the power may be limited by the cultivation level and cannot be fully displayed.
However, after he established his foundation, this Magic Tool surpassed others and quickly became one of his trump cards.
The Azure Musk Gathering Dragon Flag!
This Top-Grade Magic Tool, when infused with sufficient spiritual power, can summon several spiritual Flood Dragon and even exhale the Azure Musk Poison Incense.
If it's in someone else's hands, its power will be nothing special.
However, Luo Chen possesses Great Perfection Attraction Art.
For a single Magic Tool, at most, one can become more adept at handling it.
However, after the Azure Musk Gathering Dragon Flag summons Flood Dragon, it subtly possesses the effects of a matching magical Magic Tool.
Therefore, its power is only being fully revealed today.
As Luo Chen continued to make hand seals.
The three Flood Dragon, which had been shrunk by the backlash from Wang Haichao's defensive Magic Tool, were instantly replenished with spiritual energy and restored to their enormous size.
The nine Azure Musk Flood Dragon instantly became agile.
It swam and danced slowly around the Wang Haichao.
Seeing this scene.
Wang Haichao was terrified.
Today, I fear we are about to face a tough battle!
But he will never surrender!
He channeled his spiritual power, and the Flying Sword in his hand burst forth with Lan Guang.
Seeing this scene from afar, Luo Chen Ancient Well Without Waves.
Point your finger.
"Go!"
A spiritual Flood Dragon lunged upwards, tearing at the target.
This was a test.
Meanwhile, seven Flood Dragon, shaking their heads and wagging their tails, kept chasing after them.
"Cut!"
Wang Haichao let out a sharp shout, and his Sword Light flashed out in a horizontal slash.
Wherever it passed, the first spiritual Flood Dragon was instantly annihilated.
The second, the third... a total of eight spiritual Flood Dragon, five of them disappeared instantly.
Only three remained, and they crashed into him.
"Buzz..."
A buzzing sound rang out, and a light shield reappeared, sending the three-headed Flood Dragon flying back several feet.
" Luo Chen, what do you think...?"
Just as Wang Haichao was feeling smug, he saw several more Flood Dragon emerge from the surrounding void, their claws wagging and their heads protruding.
The spiritual energy is inexhaustible, and life never ceases.
This is truly an Top-Grade Magic Tool!
Wang Haichao stopped making wishful thinking and focused his mind on facing the oncoming Flood Dragon.
It's just a contest of spiritual power!
He Foundation Establishment Third Layer, and his spiritual power far surpassed that of Luo Chen at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.
He refused to believe that Luo Chen could sustain the use of such a top-grade magical Top-Grade Magic Tool for longer than him.
The spiritual energy consumed by Flying Sword is far less than that of Magic Tool like a Banners.
Spiritual Flood Dragon charged forward one after another.
The Sword Light, continuously.
What started as a fierce conflict seemed to be escalating into a contest of spiritual energy depletion between the two sides.
However, after half a cup of tea...
Wang Haichao's expression changed.
The spiritual energy within his body seemed to have solidified, and he couldn't mobilize it at all.
Even when fully focused, it still feels awkward and cumbersome.
With each breath, a faint scent of musk lingers around the nostrils.
"Mean!"
Luo Chen's brow twitched. Had he been discovered?
Same here!
A stomp of one foot.
The spiritual Flood Dragon beneath their feet, which had remained motionless, suddenly dissipated.
A large cloud of Azure Musk Poison Incense spread out without any attempt to conceal it.
At the same time, all eight Flood Dragon self-destructed.
A violent surge of spiritual energy suddenly exploded.
Luo Chen reached out and grasped, Azure Musk Gathering Dragon Flag fell into his hand from the white clouds above.
A quick glance revealed several cracks on it, indicating it was on the verge of being scrapped.
In this battle, Luo Chen pushed this Top-Grade Magic Tool to its absolute limit.
Those Flood Dragon are endlessly reborn, annihilated and reborn time and time again, and the price they pay is not just spiritual power.
but!
Under such an attack, Wang Haichao probably won't be having an easy time either!
Luo Chen put away the nearly ruined Azure Musk Gathering Dragon Flag, and released the Sword Pellet, which transformed into a giant sword that he held in his hand.
The explosion of the eight Flood Dragon was extremely destructive.
Smoke and dust billowed up, and streaks of Lan Guang spread out only to be pushed back down again and again.
In the end, it vanished without a trace.
Is he dead?
Just as Luo Chen was about to launch another attack, a surge of intense spiritual energy suddenly erupted from within the smoke and dust.
A fiery red Sword Qi swept through the dust and Sky-Rending!
" Magic Treasure?"
"It's that Profound Flame Sword!"
Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Wang Haichao was in a sorry state.
He had no hair or beard, and his head was completely bald.
A tortoise shell, now covered in cracks.
This top-grade defensive magic Magic Tool, and even Unorthodox Magic Tool, is destroyed!
Ignoring the pain, he gripped a fiery red Flying Sword in both hands. The intense heat even burned away the flesh and blood of his hands, revealing the bare white bones.
"Unfortunately, I acquired this Magic Treasure too recently and failed to refine it successfully; I can only unleash one-third of its power."
"However, even this third should be enough to severely injure Luo Chen!"
He murmured to himself, looking out through the smoke and dust.
The next moment, they were dumbfounded.
Amidst the billowing smoke, a figure charged towards him without flinching.
The crimson Sword Qi that met his face struck him without hesitation.
This was a sword strike he unleashed after disregarding everything, mobilizing all the spiritual power he could, and even destroying both of his hands!
However, Luo Chen did not avoid him; his gaze was cold and sharp, as if he were staring intently at him through the smoke and dust.
How dare he be so arrogant?
While Wang Haichao was still in shock, a black chess piece suddenly flew out from Luo Chen's body.
A black halo spread out.
The Xuanhuo Sword touched the black aura, and it vanished inch by inch.
It's as if they never existed.
" Ghost God Valley, Mi Shuhua, Rotten Ke Go Piece..."
With a flick of the golden greatsword, a large, clean-shaven head flew into the air.
Luo Chen grunted and slammed a palm strike into the headless corpse from afar.
Mountain Splitting Boulder Breaking Palm!
The corpse suddenly exploded into countless fragments.
With a wave of his hand, the Storage Bag and the Profound Flame Sword appeared in his hand.
Holding the Profound Flame Sword, which still radiated intense heat and was tinged with blood, Luo Chen exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi.
"It's only been a few days since I got it, and it's already been refined to the point where it can barely be activated."
"I suppose Huo Hu also deserves some credit!"
Huo Hu!
Upon uttering the name, Luo Chen no longer hesitated and leaped into the air.
Like a roc soaring into the sky, it heads straight for the Gaoling Plain!
