In the cave in the center of the cliff.
Six monks were sitting around the edge of the cave entrance. Several dim Spirit Rune lines were carved on the stone walls inside the cave. The lines were already dilapidated, but they could still barely maintain a very weak Spiritual Qi cycle.
These Spiritual Qi come from a special formation base embedded in the stone wall deep in the cave. The remaining Spirit Stone on the formation base is still slowly releasing the last bit of spiritual power.
The concentration is less than 10% of the outside world, but it is enough for these six monks.
The official identities of these six people are disciples of the Myriad Stars Dynasty [Withering and Flourishing Temple].
Withering and Flourishing Temple is not a first-rate Buddhist force in the Myriad Stars Dynasty, and has been keeping a low profile for more than a hundred years. But what is not known is that Golden Summit Temple of the Great Brahma Dynasty has secretly infiltrated into Withering and Flourishing Temple. The core disciples in the temple, including these six people, are actually working for Golden Summit Temple.
This time Centennial Grand Star Selection and Golden Summit Temple have been planned for a long time. Six people were sent out at the same time with two tasks.
The first task is to find a "holy object" designated by Golden Summit Temple's top brass. Only the leader Yuanshun knows its specific shape and location.
The secondary mission is to get rid of the remnants of Zhaoming Temple - Mingjue in the secret realm.
Half a day ago, Yuanshun and others bypassed Sky-Splitting Cliff from the other side and accidentally discovered this hidden path on the cliff while searching for the holy object.
After entering the cave along the trail, they found the ruins records left by the Pure Land Chan Sect.
It turns out that this Sky-Splitting Cliff is a dangerous pass that was deliberately renovated by the Pure Land Chan Sect thousands of years ago. The Jueling area cooperates with the natural dangers of the mountains to firmly block invading enemies from the direction of the main battlefield.
There was originally a large long-range attack Law Artifact crossbow in the cave. It was forcibly attacked and destroyed by other sects during the Thousand Years War, but the cave as the crossbow launching platform is still intact.
Yuanshun I just remembered this place at that time and had no intention of staying here.
Until they met the five Qin Tiexin by the Spirit Lake, and recognized the big one-armed monk, who was exactly the Mingjue they had been looking for.
After the head-on fight, he clearly realized that the cooperation of these five people was extremely tacit, and he could not gain any advantage in a head-on fight. However, Sky-Splitting Cliff's unique spirit area gave him another idea. The opponent's direction was to go to the northeast to get sea water, so they would inevitably pass through here. He led his junior brothers back to the cave as quickly as possible, and used the remaining Spiritual Qi in the cave to set up an extremely simple ambush strategy.
The two huge stones were stuffed into the storage ring using a special technique.
His plan was to kill all five people in one go and wait until all five people entered the center of the canyon before lowering the boulder and crushing them to death or trapping them inside. However, he did not expect that the other party was so cautious and actually used a long rope to explore the path, and only sent one person, Mingjue, to be the outpost.
In this case, let's do the next best thing and kill Mingjue first.
"Yuanshun Senior Brother."
The formation master next to him, who had been surrendered by Liu Suifeng before, squatted half-crouched on the edge of the cave entrance and glanced towards the bottom of the valley. "That Mingjue was blocked by us from the front and back, but he didn't seem to be injured. The other four people are still outside the canyon, and they can't get through for the time being. The swordsman in white robe has just entered the canyon, and I guess he wants to save him."
"White-robed sword cultivator?" Yuanshun pondered for a moment and shook his head. He had seen that sword cultivator before, but he couldn't exert much power in this environment. "Don't worry about him, he can't get through. Our target is Mingjue. Kill him first and take care of the rest slowly."
"Yes!"
The formation mage was the first to take action. He took out a stack of talismans from Storage Bag, injected spiritual power into his fingertips, and the talismans burned into a red Flame arrow in his palm.
"Let you also have a taste of the talisman!"
He aimed at the position Qin Tiexin at the bottom of the valley against the wall, and threw the Flame arrow out of the hole.
A strange thing happened. The Flame arrow drew a bright arc in the air, flew about three feet, and the spiritual power began to dissipate rapidly. The Flame on the arrow shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flight path began to sway unstablely.
By the time it flew five feet away, the arrow had shrunk to less than one-third of its original size, and its speed and accuracy had both been severely reduced.
Qin Tiexin stood under the cliff, and just moved sideways a step to the left. Flame The arrow flew two feet away from his right shoulder, hitting the gravel ground and splashing a ball of sparks as big as a fist, without even touching the corner of his clothes.
"It's too far." The array master frowned, "The range of the Absolute Spirit Zone is larger than we expected. Law Technique From the cave entrance to the bottom of the valley, we have to pass through the Absolute Spirit Zone of more than ten feet, and the power is attenuated too seriously."
Another monk holding a sword tried to activate Law Artifact.
He moved the sword in front of him, and the Spirit Rune on the blade lit up, and a dark golden sword light separated from the blade and shot towards the bottom of the valley.
The sword light began to shrink rapidly after it flew two feet out of the hole. By eight feet it had turned into a very light golden mist. When it hit the valley floor, it could not even cut Shitou, leaving only a shallow white mark on the gravel.
"Law Artifact can't do it either." The monk holding the sword took back the sword and shook his head.
The six people tried several attack methods. Wind Blade Technique, it floated halfway and dispersed; Ice Cone Technique, the ice cone melted rapidly in the Jueling Zone, and turned into a few drops of ice water when it flew to the bottom of the valley.; Even the sonic attack of the Buddhist mantra personally launched by Yuanshun was weakened layer by layer under the suppression of the Jueling Zone, and when it reached Qin Tiexin's ears, only a very weak buzzing sound remained.
When Qin Tiexin saw Law Technique attacking him for the first time, he felt a little surprised. After all, without spiritual power, he was a living target here. But when he saw the various Law Technique lights slowly disappearing in mid-air, Qin Tiexin realized that the effect of the Land of Absolute Spirits was much more obvious than he imagined.
He adjusted his position and placed his body tightly against the root of the cliff directly below the cave entrance, using the vertical angle of the cliff to prevent attacks from above. He looked up and watched the Law Technique rays of light flying out of the cave entrance dissipate not far above his head.
Yuanshun stood at the edge of the cave entrance, looking down at Qin Tiexin who was huddled at the root of the cliff. The two of them were one on top and one on the bottom, separated by more than ten feet, and separated by a layer of suppression from the Jueling Zone. He saw Qin Tiexin hiding his body in the shadow behind the boulder, and his sideways posture was clearly ready to avoid the next round of attacks.
"Brother, Ice Spear Technique and Metal Arrow Technique should be able to hit him." The formation master turned around and reported, "These two types of Law Technique are physical attacks. Penetration is stronger and decays much slower than pure spiritual power Law Technique."
"Continue."
The two monks took action at the same time, and ice spears and golden arrows were shot out of the hole, trailing light blue and light golden trails as they flew towards the valley bottom. Both spells are the most penetrating among primary spells, and even after being attenuated by the Absolute Spirit Zone, they still retain a certain degree of lethality.
The ice gun flew past Qin Tiexin's left shoulder, and the tip of the gun exploded into a piece of ice chips on the cliff, splashing ice debris on half of his body. The golden arrow was nailed into the gravel three steps away from his feet with a clang, and the arrow penetrated three inches into the ground, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.
He expressionlessly moved one step to the right, then another step.
Ice spears and golden arrows fell from his head one after another. He tossed and turned, his body constantly changing positions in the shadow of the boulder.
He dodged most of the attacks, and occasionally he couldn't dodge them once or twice. The golden arrow hit his body, but the arrow couldn't pierce the skin at all, and the force was not as heavy as the blows he usually received during his martial arts training. Attacks of this level could not cause actual damage to his current physical body.
At this moment, Law Technique suddenly stopped.
Qin Tiexin raised his head in the silence and saw dense spots of light in the sky.
It was the reflection of metal! The next moment he saw clearly what those light spots were.
Law Artifact.
