Qin Tiexin's reactions are faster than thoughts.

The pale face of True Person Xueying was still taking shape in his field of vision, and Edgeless had already swung out. The jet-black blade drew a thick arc in the air.

Heavy Mountain Saber Technique·Suppress the Mountain.

He didn't leave any energy behind with this strike, and all his spiritual power was poured into the blade. The blade made a very low buzzing sound when it cut through the air.

Duan Xuan moved almost at the same moment he drew the knife.

As soon as she put her hands together, a formation disk that had been arranged for a long time lit up from under her feet. The dark blue formation pattern spread rapidly outwards with her as the center, covering half of the ground of the underground palace in a short breath.

Spirit-Locking Formation.

This was the back-up plan she and Qin Tiexin had arranged here, specifically to deal with emergencies. Wherever the formation pattern passed, the thin Spiritual Qi in the air was forcibly suppressed, and the flow of spiritual power became extremely stagnant.

Body Refining Realm's Body Refining monks can still exert their physical combat effectiveness in this environment, while Dharma practitioners and monks who rely on spiritual power will be suppressed to the minimum.

Edgeless's blade cut across the middle of the blood mist. There was no resistance, no feedback from the touching entity, and the blade seemed to have cut through a cloud of smoke. True Person Xueying's figure was slightly distorted when the blade passed by, and then re-condensed, not even a single wrinkle appeared in the broken gray robe.

Qin Tiexin missed the target without any hesitation, Burst Step retreated.

His feet stepped on the ground three times in a row, and with each step the gravel exploded, and his whole body was ejected away from True Person Xueying at the fastest speed.

While retreating, he reached his left hand into the storage ring and grabbed out all the attack talismans inside - his own, those Duan Xuan had just given to him, and those he had previously looted from other monks Storage Bag. He clenched dozens of talismans into a thick stack and poured all his spiritual power into them.

The moment he retreated to the edge of Spirit-Locking Formation, he threw the entire stack of talismans toward the location of True Person Xueying.

Dozens of talismans were activated in the air at the same time. Fireballs, ice cones, lightning, Wind Blade, soil spikes, light bombs - Law Technique with various attributes exploded at the same moment. An extremely dazzling exploded in the center of the underground palace. Law Technique flashed, and the rumbles bounced back and forth between the stone walls of the underground palace, causing the dust on the dome to fall. The shock wave wrapped in rubble swept outward from the center of the explosion, and Qin Tiexin was shaken back three steps, and several bloody wounds were made on his arms by the splashed rubble.

He didn't have time to take care of the injuries on his body, and his left hand had already grasped the wolf fang bracelet on his wrist. All the remaining spiritual power was poured into the jade beads without reservation. The four wolf fangs shone to the extreme at the same time, and fine cracks even began to appear on the surface. He urged The fire was too violent, far beyond the limit that the Law Artifact itself could withstand. The cracks spread from the first wolf tooth and quickly connected into one, and then two more Wind Blade condensed out.

Wind Blade with the power of eight Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, this is the strongest attack he can make in a short period of time. Wind Blade tears the remaining smoke and dust in the air, and shoots them all into the center of the explosion.

The bracelet shattered into powder on his wrist.

"Let's go!"

Duan Xuan had already flashed to his side, holding two already activated Teleportation Talisman in his hand. The silver-white space Spirit Rune on Teleportation Talisman was spinning rapidly, the edge of the talisman paper began to burn, and the silver light overflowed from the talisman paper, covering the two of them.

Although the space inside the ruins is currently unstable and the moving distance is limited, it can at least temporarily put the monster in front of it away for a while.

The moment the silver light surged to its extreme, it suddenly solidified.

The bodies of Qin Tiexin and Duan Xuan were frozen in the air, and the surrounding air itself became like a piece of hard amber, nailing him to the spot.

His fingers couldn't move, his eyelids couldn't blink, the breathing in his chest was forcibly interrupted, and even the spiritual cyclone running in his body was suppressed to a standstill, leaving only the thoughts in his mind still flickering.

What's going on?

The two Teleportation Talismans in Duan Xuan's hand are still about to burn, and the silver-white light is fixed on the surface of the talisman paper, like two pieces of frozen Flame. The talismans have been activated, but the transmission has not taken effect at all.

True Person Xueying's figure regrouped in the smoke and dust left by the explosion. He walked slowly out of the area that had been bombarded by dozens of talismans and eight Wind Blade. The fragments on his gray robe were still emitting a few wisps of smoke, but he was completely unscathed. The blood mist on his broken arm was still slowly surging, and his expression showed some disappointment.

"Is that all you have?"

He sighed softly, and the sigh rolled out of his throat.

The cooperation between these two juniors can be regarded as a tacit understanding. Spirit-Locking Formation suppresses the movement of spiritual power, makes a frontal assault with a heavy sword, and covers the bombing with talismans. Law Artifact Wind Blade made a last hit, and finally Teleportation Talisman escaped. The entire process was clean and neat. If it were an ordinary Golden Core Realm or Meridian Opening Realm monk, they might really be caught off guard.

True Person Xueying took off the animal skin bag from his waist, and aimed the bag mouth at Qin Tiexin and Duan Xuan. An irresistible suction force surged out from the bag mouth, and their bodies were pulled off the ground at the same time, rotating and shrinking, and disappeared into the bag mouth. The bag mouth tightened, making a dull sound.

"Three hundred and forty-six."

The next moment, True Person Xueying's figure turned into countless tiny red light spots and dissipated in the air of the underground palace. The underground palace returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

What he didn't notice was that there was a broken white jade talisman about the size of a thumb lying in the corner of the underground palace.

That was before starting Spirit-Locking Formation, Qin Tiexin crushed it with his left hand behind his back. The fragments of the white jade talisman were scattered among the gravel, mixed with the surrounding stone fragments that fell from the dome, and were inconspicuous. There was an extremely weak space fluctuation left in the broken hole, which disappeared in a flash.

I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is.

Under the rule of the Divine Sword Sect, Green Mountain Market. In a not-so-busy alley in the southeast corner of Fang City, there is a small restaurant with a small facade. On the second floor, a beautiful woman in red is sitting by the window. The tea cup in front of her is already cold. She has an appearance in her early thirties, with majestic eyes, long hair tied back, and her red robe glows with a dull red color in the light coming from the window lattice.

Luo Ling is in a very bad mood.

She came here to participate in the underground auction held by the Divine Sword Sect, looking for the life extension spirit medicine named "Seven-Finger Spirit Grass".

This spiritual herb is only effective for monks below Golden Core Realm, and can prolong life for about thirty years. The grade is not high, and the demand is not large. Logically speaking, there should be no competition.

She prepared one thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stone and two extra Upper-Grade Law Artifact, thinking of taking pictures of the things safely. But in the end, a blind monk appeared halfway and raised the placard faster than anyone else. Every time the price was increased, she was burdened with it, and she forcibly raised the starting price of three hundred Spirit Stone to one thousand and five.

She had already killed the monk three times in her mind, and was waiting for the auction to be over to follow him and find a secluded place outside the market to have a good chat.

Halfway through the tracking, the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.

The monk was of medium height, with an average appearance, yellowish skin, and some fine lines at the corners of his eyes. He walked with an exaggeratedly cautious manner, changing directions every ten steps, twisting and turning in the most remote alleys in Fang City, as if he was afraid of being followed.

This pace, this style...

She no longer concealed her whereabouts, and directly accelerated her pace to catch up with him, blocking him in a dead alley.

The beautiful woman in red and the middle-aged male cultivator faced off in the alley for about three breaths. After three breaths, the middle-aged male cultivator first looked nervous, then showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and then quickly lowered his head and looked carefully at the ground.

"Teacher... Master."

It is Chen Xi.

In the restaurant, Chen Xi was sitting opposite Luo Ling, with only half of her butt touching the edge of the chair. Her posture was as reserved as that of a young daughter-in-law who came to visit her for the first time.

The fluctuation of his cultivation level is already Golden Core Early Stage, his breath is steady, and his spiritual power is harmonious. On the surface, he looks like a great monk in the Golden Core Realm world, but judging from the way he occasionally looks out the window and his uneasy fingers, he is still the same Chen Xi.

Luo Ling looked at him and was furious.

"Seven-Finger Spirit Grass. Why did you buy Seven-Finger Spirit Grass? You've only been practicing for a few years? It's not a problem to live another five hundred years with your two-skinned face." Luo Ling tapped his fingers on the table, and the water in the tea bowl trembled slightly, "Robbing your master and me?"

"Master, I really don't know that you are the boss."

Chen Xi couldn't laugh or cry at all. Who would have thought that he would meet his master at a small auction held by the Divine Sword Sect? Shouldn't she be teaching her junior brother in the sect now?

"Am I very old?!"

Luo Ling slapped her hand on the table, causing the tea bowl to collapse half an inch and then fall back to the table. Not a drop of tea was spilled. She didn't use her spiritual power and her hand strength was just right.

"You are neither old nor old, Master looks younger than me." Chen Xi quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. A man of more than two hundred years old still cares about this.

She picked up the teacup, took a big sip, and placed it heavily on the table.

"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you go to seclusion outside to break through Golden Core?"
