Xiao Wan was in no hurry to take action.

She stood outside the formation and looked at Qin Tiexin from head to toe through the light curtain.

His gaze was like a knife, scraping away inch by inch. The gray light of the light screen reflected on her face, flickering brightly and dimly.

"Hand over the things and I can make your death easier."

Qin Tiexin said nothing, although the bracelet was not on him.

At this point, there is no need to hide anymore.

He raised his hand and wiped it on his face, Qi and Blood surged, and the facial bones made a fine clicking sound, revealing his original face.

His body grew taller inch by inch, and his shoulders and back were stretched again. He tore off the torn gray clothes, stripped his upper body, and took out Edgeless from the storage ring.

The knife fell to the ground, the ground shook slightly, and cracks spread from the tip of the knife to all sides.

The blade was dark, and under the gloomy sky, even the slightest bit of light did not reflect, and there was an excited buzzing from the blade.

Xiao Wan pupils shrink.

"It's really you."

"It's me." Qin Tiexin said, now that she has found out her identity, there is no point in hiding it.

Outside the array, Benhong sighed.

"Mingjue, you Innate Buddha Heart should have joined me, Brahma Sound Valley, to achieve unparalleled achievements. It's a pity."

He looked at Qin Tiexin with a degree of obsession and a hint of regret in his eyes.

It was like looking at a good-looking Buddhist treasure, but now I could only smash it with my own hands. In those eyes, it was unclear whether it was compassion or regret, flashing past.

Chen Xi suddenly smiled, "Junior brother, are you willing to kill all these bald donkeys with me?"

Qin Tiexin turned to look at him.

"I am willing to fight with my senior brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi moved.

His body swayed, his breath changed suddenly, and he climbed all the way up from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, Golden Core Early Stage, Golden Core Middle Stage... finally stopped steadily at Golden Core Peak.

The breath was suppressed, the formation flags buzzed, the light curtains of the three major formations flickered on and off, and the surrounding air suddenly became dark.

Qin Tiexin saw it clearly and was shocked.

"Senior brother, aren't you Golden Core Early Stage?"

Chen Xi turned his head and grinned at him.

"Don't look like this. Your senior brother and I have never said that I only have Golden Core Early Stage."

Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared where he was.

When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air.

The puppets, array plates, talismans, and flying swords all exploded from him at the same time, overwhelming the sky and hitting the ten Golden Core monks.

The three puppets rushed to the east, the formation disk unfolded to the west, the talismans turned into a rain of fire and covered the south, and the flying swords shuttled across the north like swimming fish.

Before the ten Golden Core Buddhist cultivators could recover from this change, a hole had been torn open in the encirclement.

Qin Tiexin seized the opportunity, exploded under his feet, the stone slab shattered like a spider web, and rushed forward with his knife in hand.

He could see that the senior brother wanted to hold back those Golden Core monks and hand over all Foundation Establishment Realm monks to him.

More than a dozen Foundation Establishment Peak Stage Buddhist monks were guarding the formation flag. Seeing him rushing towards him, they chanted mantras in unison and formed an formation.

The golden light is connected into one piece, and more than a dozen auras overlap in one place, pressing towards Qin Tiexin. In the golden light, a Buddha shadow can be vaguely seen. This is a very powerful formation defense method. Once the opponent retreats, you can take advantage of the situation to attack.

But Qin Tiexin doesn't hide.

Fire of Life ignites, Qi and Blood moves to the right arm, Qi and Blood surges, and Heavy Mountain Saber Technique swings out.

The first blow shattered the golden light. The golden Buddha shadow was cracked from head to toe and shattered into dots of light all over the sky.

With the second blow, a tower shield and the person holding the shield were split in half, and blood splashed on the face of the person behind. The monk's eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, but he didn't have time to shout.

With the third sword sweep, the three monks flew backwards. Before they even hit the ground, they died. Their bodies hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Edgeless is deadly in hand.

These people are not even as good as Xiao Zhenyue.

Xiao Zhenyue, after all, has a military style of warfare, with both offense and defense, and a certain amount of advance and retreat. These people only know how to form formations. Once the formation is broken, they are lambs to be slaughtered.

But there were too many monks. After killing one batch, another batch was added after the formation.

Those Foundation Establishment Peak Stage monks rushed up and tried to drag him down with their lives. It wouldn't take long, as long as the Golden Core Realm monks came over, the person in front of him would die.

In the distance, several Golden Core monks were rushing towards us.

Before anyone arrived, several rays of Buddha's light arrived first.

Qin Tiexin just deflected the knife and received a blow on his vest.

Qi Gang exploded, he staggered forward two steps, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and his throat was filled with fishy and sweet taste.

Although he was not injured, the force was uncomfortable.

Qin Tiexin had already turned around and prepared to face Golden Core directly, but those Golden Core failed to come over.

Chen Xi fell from the sky, a puppet rushed out from the flank, and a formation disk spread out in the air, blocking back the two Golden Core who were rushing forward.

The Spirit Rune on the array spread out in the air, knocking the two people back a few steps.

"Junior brother, just go forward and kill." Chen Xi's voice came out from the melee. One against ten, it seemed that there was still some strength left.

Qin Tiexin responded, then slashed with his backhand, killing two more people.

He was so covered in blood that he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's.

Qi Gang Protects the vital points, but cannot protect every part.

Bones were visible on the left shoulder, right leg, and back. Blood poured out from the wounds, was suppressed by the force of Qi and Blood, and then poured out again.

Fire of Life was burning hot in his chest, and he pumped Qi and Blood up again and again, forcing him to continue.

He fought hard here, and Chen Xi's side was even more fierce. One after another Golden Core monks lost their lives in his hands.

Benchi and Juesong originally had no intention of taking action.

The main task of the two of them here is to cover up for everyone. Once they bump into the Myriad Stars Dynasty's high-level monks, they can lead them away safely.

But now, the formation is almost broken.

Four of the Golden Core monks they brought had died in the hands of Chen Xi in the blink of an eye. Seven or eight of the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage monks were also killed by Qin Tiexin.

If he didn't take action, it was really possible for these two people to escape, no, even to be killed by these two people.

Benchi and Juesong looked at each other and saw regret in each other's eyes.

Xiao Wan said at the beginning that to surround and kill this man, heavy troops would be needed.

They also think it is an exaggeration. What kind of nonsense can one Golden Core Early Stage and one Qi and Blood Peak make?

Only now do I know that Xiao Wan is too easy to put down.

Of these two people, one is full of tricks, slippery, and impossible to guard against; the other, Qi and Blood, is outstanding and powerful, and monk Foundation Establishment is no match for him alone. He has to form a formation of three or four people to barely be able to withstand it.

The entire formation was punched out by these two people.

Xiao Wan was entangled by a puppet of Chen Xi.

That puppet is not strong, but it is extremely difficult to deal with. It just wanders around without confronting her or letting her escape.

Xiao Wan tried to pull away several times to stop Qin Tiexin, but was blocked by it.

The puppet's Movement Method was as erratic as a ghost. Every time she made a move, it took exactly half a step back, like a flying insect that could never be hit.

She gritted her teeth and shouted towards the formation:

"Please take action, Senior Brother Benchi, Senior Brother Juesong!"

Benchi and Juesong no longer hesitated, and moved forward to attack Chen Xi at the same time.

Both of them are Golden Core Peak, and Chen Xi is also Golden Core Peak.

The three of them hit each other in mid-air, and the Buddha's light and spiritual light exploded, causing the aftermath to make the entire hill fall an inch shorter.

The two of them had the advantage in numbers.

Chen Xi No matter how many tricks he tried, he was forced to retreat step by step. The Buddha's light was pressing from both sides. He blocked left and right, and gradually lost the space to move.

But there was nothing the two of them could do for a while.

Chen Xi is also in trouble.

He began to see injuries on his body. His left arm was struck by the Buddha's light, and the bones were cracked and drooping. What's even worse is that he could no longer control the puppets.

As soon as the puppets were in chaos, Xiao Wan immediately got away, stood in the distance, and scanned the battlefield coldly.

At this sight, her heart sank.

Foundation Establishment monks, there are only six left.

Brother Golden Core, apart from Benchi and Juesong, plus her, there are only five people left.

Most of the more than 30 people who arrived were already dead. Corpses were lying on the ground, the monks' robes were soaked in blood, and their faces were distorted.

But those two people didn't feel it at all.

Qin Tiexin killed nearly ten Foundation Establishment monks, and the formation dispersed long ago.

Just as he was about to rush out, two Golden Core monks attacked him from the left and the right.

As soon as he made contact, a wave of Great Strength came out, and the Buddha's light was like a wall, overwhelming him with Qi and Blood.

Qin Tiexin took several steps back, his mouth numb.

He raised his eyes and saw two Golden Core standing side by side, one on the left and one on the right, blocking all angles.

If there is only one Golden Core, he can still give it a try. With two Golden Core, he really can't beat it.

Not to mention, there are four Golden Core behind, who can make up for them at any time.

He fought and retreated.

When you retreat to the back, there is nothing behind you.

When he turned around, the mountain wind rushed up from the bottom of the cliff. It was biting and cold, making his sweaty back feel tight.

This is the end of the hill, with cliffs on three sides, and the bottom is bottomless.

The clouds and mist were billowing under the cliff, making it impossible to see the bottom. There was only one retreat in front of us, which was blocked by the pursuers.

Chen Xi also slowly retreated and stood side by side with Qin Tiexin.

He was covered in wounds, his left arm was drooping, his right leg was burnt black by the Buddha's light, and his robe was in tatters, revealing the wound underneath.

But his back was still straight.

Just now, he poisoned another Golden Core who was trying to sneak attack.

The Golden Core monk turned purple and fell from the air without even shouting.

But he was also hit once by Benchi and Juesong. Benchi broke a leg and stood on one leg in the air. Juesong was not seriously injured, but his breath was surging, his face was white, and his chest was heaving.

Chen Xi retreated to Qin Tiexin, with their backs to the cliff.

In front, five Golden Core monks slowly surrounded them.

Benchi stood on one leg with a ferocious expression. Juesong stroked his chest with gloomy eyes.

Xiao Wan was last. He was not seriously injured and could only look at the two people on the edge of the cliff quietly.

"Qin Tiexin." Xiao Wan spoke in a very soft voice, "If you have any last words, you can say them now."

Qin Tiexin didn't look at her.

He held Edgeless tightly, put the tip of the knife against the ground, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

"Senior brother," he said, "Can I still fight?"

Chen Xi smiled and spit out a mouthful of bloody spit.

"Yes."
