Confrontation at Mid-Stage, Turning the Tables
"How virtuous and capable is Mr. Lu? Nascent Soul Cultivator, a mere newcomer, actually let Beast King Valley Grand Elder take action himself?"
Looking at the harmless white and fat old man, Lan Chang'an looked solemn, which seemed a little unexpected.
"Lu Changqing, your reputation has spread throughout Eastern Region. You are no longer an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator. Why do you need to show off in front of an old man?"
Grand Elder smiled, touched his exposed belly, and said slowly.
Over the years, Lan Chang'an has brought too much trouble to Beast King Valley, directly disrupting the existing strategic plan.
Lan Chang'an returned to Eastern Region, bringing the three major Nascent Soul combat forces, allowing Dao Defense Alliance to fight instead of seeking peace. The annexation plan of peaceful evolution went bankrupt.
Lan Chang'an humiliated Peacock Saintess and slapped the two Nascent Soul elders in the face, leaving Beast King Valley unprepared and hastily opening Cultivation War.
A few years ago, Lan Chang'an defeated Beast King Valley and True Lord, once again affecting the balance of top combat power between the two sides.
What frightened Beast King Valley the most was that Lu Changqing killed both Fourth-Order Beast King in one blow.
The existence of Lan Chang'an has become Beast King Valley War Machine's nightmare!
If this continues, Beast King Valley will be unable to attack Dao Defense Alliance, and its only positive advantage will be gone.
The influence of Lan Chang'an is not limited to Demonic Path's battlefield on the Dao Defense Alliance's side, but also indirectly affects Seven Nations Alliance.
Seven Nations Alliance The situation has stabilized in recent years.
Beast King Valley not only withdrew assistance from that side, but also asked Underworld Spring Sect and Wujian Gate for help, which in disguise weakened Seven Nations Alliance's offensive firepower.
"Grand Elder is here today, but you plan to intercept and kill Mr. Lu?"
Lan Chang'an sighed in his heart. It seemed that it was a bit difficult to fish in troubled waters on the main battlefield and take the opportunity to capture and kill Demonic Path Nascent Soul.
He borrowed the power of Heavenly Master to lay out the plan for a long time and concealed many secrets.
But Beast King Valley Grand Elder, who is also a fourth-level Divination Grandmaster, is not so easy to deceive.
As long as this Grand Elder is not stupid, he can now determine one fact:
Lan Chang'an is the biggest variable that determines the outcome of this immortal cultivator war, and is even the key winner.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to lower his status and came to target Lan Chang'an in person.
"This elder doesn't like fighting and killing."
"As long as True Lord Lu, Di Yan Jun, and Fairy Xia don't leave this frontline area, I will be happy and at ease."
Grand Elder has an easy-going tone and does not seem to have murderous intentions.
Lan Chang'an Don't be fooled by this appearance.
If possible, Beast King Valley would like to cut himself into pieces.
It's just that Lan Chang'an represents the three major Nascent Soul combat powers. Even if he is the Demonic Sect leader of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it is unrealistic to kill him head-on.
"Grand Elder It would be too much for one person to contain the three Nascent Soul combat forces of us."
Lan Chang'an's eyes flashed, and [Black Sky Wings] spread out from behind, trying to fly to Yuanliu City, supporting the frontal battlefield together with Fairy Xia.
"Haha, Daoist Lu might as well give it a try."
Grand Elder was calm and turned into a stream of cloud-white light that melted into the sky.
Lan Chang'an just flew hundreds of miles away.
The sound of thunder came again from the deep clouds, and the peak Law Power fluctuations of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, accompanied by the overwhelming spiritual pressure, made people feel numb.
Lan Chang'an felt a sudden shiver in his heart. He picked up the cyan Law Power shield, and his figure quickly dodged and split into three parts in an instant.
Sssssssss--
More than a dozen translucent crystal silk threads appeared strangely and inexplicably from the void, passing through Lan Chang'an's rapidly dodging figure.
Lan Chang'an's two Illusion Wood Clone were swept by strange silk threads and were instantly destroyed.
There was a "click" sound.
Lan Chang'an's protective shield cracked with the sound, and was pierced by two passing crystal silks.
Lan Chang'an's body felt cold, and the white robe on his shoulders had a clearly visible crack.
That translucent crystal silk is a kind of Divine Ability that Beast King Valley Grand Elder combined with Life-Bound Heavenly Silkworm. It is extremely fast and can travel through the shallow layers of the void, making it impossible to prevent it.
Its characteristics are partially similar to Jing Wufeng's space attack method, and it is more sustained and continuous.
Whoops!
Black Sky Wings flapped behind Lan Chang'an, accelerating to dodge, triggering a black cloud that swept across a hundred feet in radius.
However, the crystal silk silk was extremely tough and had strong penetrating power. Many of them penetrated the black wind barrier, forcing Lan Chang'an to dodge left and right.
"As expected of the leader Demonic Sect."
Lan Chang'an took a deep breath, did not dare to neglect, and presented Law Treasure[Dragon Wood Staff].
[Dragon Wood Staff] It rose in the wind and turned into an ancient tree nearly a hundred feet tall. The blood-colored dragon shadow was outlined on the surface, blocking most of the crystal silk attacks.
[Dragon Wood Staff] was entangled in crystal silk threads, the aura on the surface was dim, and the volume shrank rapidly. It was obvious that it could not hold on.
In fact, to deal with this kind of silk attack, the fire attribute Law Treasure or Divine Ability is more effective. For example, the best Law Treasure Blazing Fire Gourd.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
Lan Chang'an then used Puppet Control Art, and twelve top-level third-level Puppet appeared around him.
In Puppet Army Formation, twelve puppet forces gather in series and the arc flashes to form a Purple-Cyan Puppet Power Array Diagram.
A purple-green light mask protected Lan Chang'an, bursting out wisps of electric light to resist the strange crystal silk threads that flew from the shallow layer of the void.
That momentum seemed to turn into an overwhelming net, trapping Lan Chang'an and Puppet Array together.
"Puppet Army Formation on such a scale! This guy really has a hidden agenda."
Grand Elder of Beast King Valley As expected, there was a gleam in his eyes.
The stronger the cards Lan Chang'an reveals, the higher the value of his personal targeting.
The current military formation composed of twelve top-level third-level Puppets is enough to withstand the offensive of the veteran Nascent Soul Early Stages.
Coupled with Lan Chang'an himself, Beast King Valley Grand Elder was able to stand firm under the first round of testing offensive.
"Little friend Lu, let's see what other methods you have."
Grand Elder was very interested, stretched out his arm, and a simple and strange compass flew out of his sleeve.
Whoosh!
Compass Magic Treasure hovers in the sky above Lan Chang'an and Puppet Army Formation, emitting an invisible and qualityless ripple.
The ripples and vortices invisible to the naked eye pull and absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi Law Power.
Lan Chang'an suddenly felt that Law Power consumption increased, Law Treasure control became difficult, and his whole body Law Power Divine Ability was invisibly weakened.
Even Puppet Army Formation is restricted.
When Puppet Array started running, Puppet Law Power lost a lot of money inexplicably, causing the Puppet Array's operating efficiency to drop.
Lan Chang'an looks ugly.
When Puppet Army Formation was offered, he thought that he could compete with the new Nascent Soul Middle Stage like True Lord Ming Shui.
Unexpectedly, I was suppressed by Beast King Valley Grand Elder in an understatement.
The consumption of Puppet Crystal in the body of many Puppet has increased sharply, and it may not be able to last for long.
"Master, let me help you!"
In the hills below, earth-colored crystal light emerged, emitting majestic Qi of Earth Sha.
Seeing that his master was suppressed, Di Yan Jun had no choice but to take action in advance.
It transformed into a giant Rat King form, attracting the animated Yellow Sand Dust Storm, and accompanied by huge rolling stones, impacting Grand Elder and Compass Magic Treasure.
Grand Elder smiled slightly, and pinched Method Formula. Law Power to activate, causing the compass in the sky to rotate, and a mysterious hole emerged in the invisible ripple vortex.
Huh~
In an instant, the Yellow Sand Dust Storm that was sweeping in, the momentum of the huge rolling stone was greatly reduced, and the Law Technique Demon Power that disintegrated and disintegrated were all absorbed.
On the contrary, the rotating compass, the spiritual light surged out of thin air, and briefly stagnated.
Bang!
The compass erupted with a fan-shaped ripple, containing a powerful force field, and hit Tier 4 Rat King hard.
Di Yan Jun groaned and flew backwards, his head was slightly sunken and some bloodshot eyes oozed out.
Fortunately, Demon King's body has rough skin and thick flesh, but only some external injuries.
But the momentum of the massive counterattack came to an abrupt end.
From the beginning of the confrontation until Puppet Army Formation and Di Yan Jun appeared one after another, Lan Chang'an did not pose any threat to Beast King Valley Grand Elder.
"This old guy Law Power is powerful and has a profound background. No wonder Chu Tianfeng said that you only need to contain him on the battlefield and don't think about causing a threat, otherwise it will only be a thankless task."
Lan Chang'an was a little unconvinced at first, but after some testing, I came to understand.
He adjusted his strategy to let Di Yan Jun and Puppet Army Formation focus on defense. In the defensive state, the consumption of Puppet Army Formation was also reduced accordingly.
In this way, it is much easier.
Beast King Valley Grand Elder, seems to be unable to pose much threat to it.
"Lan Chang'an, if you cultivate to the peak of Nascent Soul Early Stage, Law Power Divine Sense will be even more powerful. This elder really has nothing to do with you."
Grand Elder sighed, his calm eyes shining with a sharp light.
That fat body, with its robes fluttering, took one step, like a mountain moving hundreds of feet.
Slaughter Spirit Hand!
Grand Elder's palm swelled to the size of a cattail leaf fan, wrapped in white silk, and ignited a blood-black ghost flame. He patted Lan Chang'an from the air.
Lan Chang'an's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of crisis that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Hu Peng!
The huge Slaughter Spirit Great Hand with black and white marks, half entity and half nothingness, hit Lan Chang'an at a speed that was unavoidable.
At that moment, the space Lan Chang'an was in had the illusion of overlapping and squeezing.
Di Yan Jun not far away was affected, and his soul felt slightly dizzy and confused, while Qi and Blood was floating.
Lan Chang'an was hit from the front, and the Law Power protective shield around it collapsed on the spot.
Not only that, he instantly shot a Tier 4 Spirit Talisman Water Shield, which was also shot to pieces by the semi-nihilistic Slaughter Spirit Great Hand.
"Slaughter Spirit Soul Extinction..."
Lan Chang'an's figure swayed, his face turned slightly pale, and his brows tightened.
The semi-nihilistic Slaughter Spirit Great Hand not only hit his body, but also impacted Nascent Soul's soul.
Lan Chang'an uses the secret technique of the soul in <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art> to soothe the temporarily confused consciousness. The slightly painful cyan Nascent Soul in the body quickly calms down and returns to normal.
At the same time, Evergreen Mana operates automatically to heal tiny hidden wounds and damaged vitality in the body.
On the other side, Grand Elder launched a burst attack, which consumed a lot of Law Power and Divine Sense's vitality, but also paused briefly.
"Blocked? The injury doesn't seem serious."
Grand Elder frowned slightly and looked at Lan Chang'an who was steadying his body. The expected effect of vomiting blood on the spot was not achieved.
Lan Chang'an opened his eyes, lightly adding blood on the corners of his lips, as if he still had more to say.
He hasn't been injured, even slightly, in years.
"Grand Elder's slap just now caused some pain to Lu. But the aftertaste afterward was an indescribable numbness and comfort."
As Evergreen Mana circulated, the minor injuries suffered by Lan Chang'an's quasi-fourth-level body healed instantly and recovered completely.
Grand Elder's pupils condensed and he said in a deep voice:
"Little friend Lu, please don't let it go! Don't hold it in when you are injured, otherwise problems may arise."
Having said that, Grand Elder felt that the previous hit Slaughter Spirit Hand, after hitting Lan Chang'an after two layers of buffering, was a bit weird.
Lan Chang'an's body is much tougher than expected. It seems that he is also quite accomplished in physical training.
In addition, Lan Chang'an Nascent Soul Divine Sense is powerful, stronger than some veteran Nascent Soul, and he has also practiced exquisite soul secret techniques.
Various factors led to his explosive ultimate move not achieving the expected effect.
But to say that it posed almost no threat to Lan Chang'an, he still couldn't believe it.
However, in the ensuing battle of wits, Lan Chang'an Law Power became stronger and stronger. Law Treasure controlled by Divine Sense was flexible and free.
Apparently no injuries were sustained.
"This kid is really a turtle shell!"
Beast King Valley Grand Elder sighed secretly and simply gave up his plan to seriously injure and defeat Lan Chang'an.
Although the Slaughter Spirit Hand just now was not his strongest method, it was quite lethal and could not cause any real damage to Lan Chang'an.
He realized that Lu Changqing was similar to him, and his ability to protect himself was far superior to that of the same level.
When two turtle shells meet together, it is naturally difficult to tell the winner.
Above the clouds, Lan Chang'an and Beast King Valley Grand Elder clashed for a moment. Both sides adapted to each other's methods. You came and I went back and forth, and neither could do anything to the other.
Grand Elder is relatively calm and takes more initiative.
During the confrontation, Lan Chang'an confirmed that Grand Elder possesses late-level third-level body refining attainments.
I heard from Chu Tianfeng that this person's Life-Bound Heavenly Silkworm has super powers of recovery and healing.
However, Lan Chang'an has not hurt Beast King Valley Grand Elder yet;
At this moment, an icy frost Escape Light came from the side, exuding the Law Power breath of the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Husband, I am here to help you!"
Fairy Xia came from the side and cooperated with Lan Chang'an to attack Grand Elder.
Grand Elder Eyelids twitch slightly, it's really endless.
As Chitose Nascent Soul, at such an advanced age, he was about to face a gang fight from Lan Chang'an and three others.
The original plan was to contain the three major Nascent Soul combat forces: Lan Chang'an, Di Yan Jun, and Fairy Xia.
But Fairy Xia had not taken action before, and Lan Chang'an was enough to compete with him.
He had to admit that Lan Chang'an's real strength was much stronger than initially expected.
If Sect Master Meng had come here instead, he might have been suppressed or even suffered a loss.
Fairy Xia came over and Grand Elder did not give in, but his expression became serious.
Fairy Xia With both hands Hand Seals, the skirt is fluttering and snowflakes are flying, like a snow fairy.
A magnificent dream-like Ice Lotus Magic Treasure made of crystal jade flew out from her body.
Ice Lotus Magic Treasure was divided into seven, turning into seven Ice Crystal Light Lotus blooming with green light. Some Ice Crystal Light Lotus rotated around to protect themselves, and some attacked Beast King Valley Grand Elder with great flexibility.
Ice Crystal Light Lotus Every blow is like the impact of an iceberg, the ice shatters and explodes, sending chills to the bones.
"This treasure integrates offense and defense, is flexible, magical, and powerful. It is definitely not the product of Great Qing..."
Grand Elder was slightly surprised, and finally understood why True Lord Black Feather and Elder Wanhe collapsed.
Fairy Xia possesses Innate Dao Body, which has a bonus to the cold nature Divine Ability Law Technique, which fits the powerful Law Treasure. Its fighting strength is no less than that of the veteran Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Faced with the siege of the four, Grand Elder felt pressured and had no choice but to resort to [Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe] to protect himself.
The treasure robe is woven and refined from Heavenly Silkworm silk. The dense white silk flows and shines, forming a white halo of treasure robe.
[Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe] Invulnerable to fire and water, with the support of leader Demonic Sect's powerful Law Power, it can block half of the enemy's offensive.
Grand Elder of Beast King Valley controls Compass Magic Treasure at the same time, weakening the fighting strength of Lan Chang'an and Puppet Array, absorbing the spiritual power of Law Power, and counterattacking from time to time.
"The old guy can really handle it."
Lan Chang'an remained calm and retracted one hand into his sleeve.
After being informed, Di Yan Jun and Fairy Xia immediately cooperated and took action.
Di Yan Jun cast Earth Binding Technique, pulling Grand Elder's body.
Fairy Xia opened his mouth and spit out a few blue flowers of Ice Flame, exuding a dangerous aura, and flew towards Grand Elder.
This is her birthright Ice Flame, which she cultivated from the inheritance Secret Method of True Lord Lingxue.
Coupled with Lan Chang'an [Dragon Wood Staff]'s frontal attack, Grand Elder fought and retreated, and the white light shield on his body suddenly dimmed most of the light.
Almost at the same time, Lan Chang'an's hand hidden in his sleeve robe began to work secretly.
Phew--
A feathered poisonous needle passed through the air with a vague afterimage, and with the preparation of many offensives, it accurately hit the target.
There was a "poof" sound, and the treasure-clothing mask was finally broken.
Grand Elder escaped the vital point, and the poisonous needle penetrated into the silk-woven treasure garment.
A tiny trace of blood seeped out from the surface of the silk.
Lan Chang'an looked happy.
This feathered poison needle is smeared with a mixed fourth-level poison, from the original [Five-Bird Poison Fire Fan]. The Evil Shen back then was particularly good at using poison.
It may not be fatal to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but it is enough to reduce the target's status and fighting strength.
"Turtle Lu, you are indeed very calculating and cunning."
Grand Elder's face looked slightly gloomy.
Unexpected.
Grand Elder, who was stabbed by a poisonous needle, did not look panicked or angry, nor did he take the antidote immediately.
Grand Elder stretched out his two fingers, pinched out the feathered poisonous needle on the treasure clothes, and said in a calm tone:
"This level of fourth-level poison can't hurt the old man."
It turns out that his Life-Bound Heavenly Silkworm has magical detoxification and detoxification functions.
Even the Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe on the body has a good isolation effect on poisons.
Therefore, even if the poisonous needle with feathers scratches Grand Elder's skin, there is no real threat.
He doesn't even need to take the detox.
When Grand Elder saw Lan Chang'an who was slightly startled in the distance, he inevitably felt a little proud.
At this sight, his expression changed drastically.
Whoosh!
Lan Chang'an in the distance is just an illusory afterimage.
It turns out that when Grand Elder was hit by the poisonous needle with feathers and was briefly distracted, Lan Chang'an cast <Illusion Wood Clone>.
A figure with flowing green light appeared on the other side of Grand Elder.
Withered Extinction Divine Light!
Lan Chang'an decisively performed the life-breaking forbidden technique, and a deep and twisted withered green light condensed in his palm, exuding the aura of the cycle of time, and hit Grand Elder's body again.
Poof!
The Baoyi mask, which had not yet completely healed, was broken again by Withered Extinction Divine Light.
"Not good!"
As a thousand-year-old man, Grand Elder felt his heart pounding and felt a threat that had not been seen in hundreds of years.
He turned into a white light and retreated quickly.
The spiritual light of [Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe] on the body is dim. The silk fabric after the refining ban has lost its luster and withered over a large area.
The broken treasure clothes left a dry blood hole on his chest.
"Turtle Lu, I dare you--"
Grand Elder was angry for the first time, the fat on his round face trembled slightly, and his heart was bleeding.
With the blow just now, he lost ten years of life and life and blood.
If it was an ordinary injury, he wouldn't care at all, Life-Bound Heavenly Silkworm would heal it in an instant.
However, the longevity that is deprived cannot be restored.
In addition to losing his longevity, [Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe]'s spirituality was damaged, and his defense effect was sharply reduced.
However, no matter how heartbroken and angry he was, it could not change the fact that he was injured, his life was shortened, and he suffered a great loss.
"Prepare to retreat!"
Lan Chang'an suddenly raised his hand. Instead of pursuing the victory, Fairy Xia and Di Yan Jun stopped.
Right now, Beast King Valley Grand Elder is injured, Qi and Blood is at a loss, the defensive treasure clothes are damaged, and the state and strength will definitely decline.
"This little damage has no real impact on Beast King Valley Grand Elder."
Lan Chang'an explained as he retreated.
You know, Life-Bound Heavenly Silkworm of Beast King Valley Grand Elder, and once "Cocoon Rebirth", Divine Ability that restores full status.
Although this Divine Ability can only be used once within a hundred years.
From beginning to end, Lan Chang'an never thought about seriously injuring or defeating Beast King Valley Grand Elder.
It is a relatively ideal situation to be able to shorten his life by ten years and make him feel fearful.
Among the Nascent Soul Middle Stage that Lan Chang'an has encountered, if Emperor Yu brings the greatest pressure, then Grand Elder of Beast King Valley is the "strongest shield".
"This kid actually stopped chasing..."
Grand Elder caressed his chest. The wounds caused by Withered Extinction Divine Light were killing life. Life-Bound Heavenly Silkworm's healing speed was extremely slow.
He was obviously the injured party, but it was Lan Chang'an who chose to evacuate.
Take advantage and run away?
Grand Elder feels worse than eating a fly.
"The situation has become clear..."
Lan Chang'an The fourth-order Divination Art, which was already in operation, sensed the change in destiny, and the blocking Heavenly Secret Fog completely dispersed.
The cyan Nascent Soul in Lan Chang'an's body brings blessing to the soul, producing a hint of traction in the Unseen, and it seems that something fortuitous opportunity will usher in.
There were still two hundred miles away from the important frontline town, and Lan Chang'an instinctively looked in a certain direction.
Hundreds of miles away, a demonic wind Sha Qi swept across the sky.
A fourth-order Roc Bird with a wingspan of twenty feet came flying in at lightning speed.
On Roc Bird, sitting cross-legged was a heavenly plump and ordinary-looking Green-Robed Man, who looked about thirty years old.
Green-Robed Man does not have any Law Power fluctuations on his body. Nascent Soul and Law Power are sealed by some secret technique in his body. They do not leak any breath and only rely on Roc Bird to fly there.
"Daoist Lu, please stay! We have been friends with Chen for a long time. We came here to visit Dao Defense Alliance. We have important matters to discuss."
Green-Robed Man sat down Roc Bird, with a speed comparable to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, approaching the middle quickly.
At the same time, he glanced at the position of Beast King Valley Grand Elder and frowned slightly.
"We agreed to have a big fight and at least get that Lu Changqing injured and severely damaged? The situation doesn't seem right..."
"Could it be a scam? Six Demonic Sects's immortality cannot be trusted."
After all, he was hunted down by Nascent Soul strong men from two factions, Demonic Path, and almost lost his life.
If it weren't for the delicate situation now, with the two camps Nascent Soul checking and balancing each other, and the opportunity being rare, he would not have chosen to cooperate with Beast King Valley.
"This opportunity will indeed attract you..."
Lan Chang'an silently estimates distance.
With his escape speed, he can retreat to the front line before the opponent arrives.
"You go back to the important frontline town first and act according to my husband Jade Slip's plan."
Lan Chang'an left behind and let Fairy Xia evacuate first.
"Husband, be careful." Xia Wenyue was a little worried, but didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, Fairy Xia staying here is also a big help.
But the risks in the next game are not small. Lan Chang'an has too many secrets, so it's best to avoid them.
Lan Chang'an chooses to break.
In this way, three powerful auras appeared on the field:
On one side is Beast King Valley Grand Elder, and Law Power has the strongest aura.
On one side is the fourth level Roc Bird.
True Lord Qingmu's sealed Nascent Soul Law Power has just been untied, and the smell of <Evergreen Art> makes Lan Chang'an feel more friendly.
The last party is Lan Chang'an and Di Yan Jun, which seems to be the weakest.
The three parties almost formed an equilateral triangle, facing each other from a distance, keeping dozens of miles away from each other, and all of them were wary of each other.
