As the sword cultivator retreated, the long sword suddenly shot out from behind, turning into a rainbow, and slashed diagonally towards the "Silver Vein Flower" two hundred feet away, as if it was going to cut off the "Silver Vein Flower" and sweep it away. His movement was so subtle and swift that even Li Yan in the distance was stunned for a moment before reacting.
This is clearly a real veteran of the world. He is a perfect actor, and at the same time, he also has his caution engraved in his bones. Even if he doesn't find anything wrong, he still adopts the method of retreating in order to advance.
While protecting himself, he also achieved his goal. If he succeeded, he could pick the herbs. If he failed, he would also detect whether it was a trap. Anyway, he achieved his goal. This method is extremely sophisticated, making it extremely difficult for the ambusher to succeed with one blow.
Sure enough, the sword cultivator's method made it impossible for the two hidden men to continue to set up an ambush. They immediately appeared and pounced on their opponents without hesitation. When one of them just stood up, the dagger in his hand had also turned into a green light. In a flash, he had arrived. Arriving below Changhong Pi Lian, just when Changhong Pi Lian was about to touch the stem of the "Silver Vein Flower", the green awns came first and blocked Changhong Pi Lian. There was only a crisp "ding" sound, and Changhong Pi Lian was diagonally pushed open by the green awns.
At the same time, another big man holding a sharp knife rushed towards the sword cultivator hundreds of feet away. The sharp knife in his hand was like a sword and stabbed straight out. The sharp knife turned into a gray giant lizard in the air, and its long tongue quickly flicked out at the sword cultivator.????
At a distance of several hundred feet, the gray giant lizard's long tongue seemed to have transcended time and space. It flashed in front of the sword cultivator and took out his right eye, as if trying to pierce the sword cultivator's head in one fell swoop.
All this happened in a flash of lightning. Although Jianxiu's previous actions seemed abnormal, it was just a kind of caution on his part. When he saw the "Silver Vein Flower", he felt a little surprised in his heart, but his usual caution made him make the decision to stop.
So he released Divine Sense to explore more carefully. Although he still found nothing unusual, his many years of experience made him feel uneasy, so he made a move to retreat and leave, but he really couldn't let go of the "Silver Vein Flower" no matter what.
The sudden appearance of the two monks was not only expected but also unexpected, but this was the last thing he wanted to see.
Now that he was prepared, the attack of the two big men was naturally no longer a sneak attack in the eyes of the sword cultivator. The moment he saw the big man take action, his originally indifferent expression became serious. His retreating figure blurred for a while, and the next moment he appeared twenty feet away on the left side of the gray monitor's attack route. Just when his figure became clear from blur, the Changhong in the distance had also disappeared.
Then, the sword cultivator held a long sword and stood suspended a few feet above the ground. His body was rising and falling, and a pair of fine eyes were staring at him in the shape of horns. He temporarily stopped attacking.
</di>
, the two of them were standing up straight.
"It turns out that it's Hu Hai and Ning Ji, two fellow Daoists from the 'Beast Refining Mountain', who are going to ambush Ren."
"Oh, who am I? It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ren of the "Blue Blood Sect". Why did Fellow Daoist Ren say so harshly? The two of us saw the "Silver Soul Flower" first. When we were about to pick it, we didn't want fellow Daoist to take action from a distance, so we had to stop it. Everything must come first and then tell." The hand pinching technique temporarily stopped the big man who was about to continue attacking the gray monitor lizard from being exposed, but he said something else.
Li Yan secretly heard the conversation between the two parties and couldn't help but frown. He knew these two sects.
To be exact, Li Yan, the leader of these two sects, knew something about them before coming to the Pure Land Sect. Of course, you need to make some preparations when going to a strange place.
"Beast Refining Mountain" is a sect that is good at refining various Demon Beast souls into Dharma Treasure. This is somewhat similar to Spirit Insect Peak of the Wangliang Sect, but it is different, After Spirit Insect Peak captures a spiritual beast, it tames it as its own spiritual pet to assist in enhancing its own attack capabilities. However, after capturing a spiritual beast, "Beast Refining Mountain" will only retain its soul and refine it into Dharma Treasure to enhance the power of Dharma Treasure.
Li Yan knows that usually the Artifact Spirits in Dharma Treasures are driven by the powerful Demon Beast souls, but some Artifact Spirits of Dharma Treasures are other kinds of alien species from heaven and earth, such as a ten thousand-year-old stone that has become refined.
But no matter which one it is, generally speaking, there can only be one powerful or a group of Demon Beast souls of the same type in a Dharma Treasure as Artifact Spirit, so that the Dharma Treasure attack can help unify and drive Ruyi.
But "Beast Refining Mountain" is pursuing a refining method that can incorporate multiple Demon Beast souls into one Dharma Treasure. This approach is abandoned by other sects, and it will only make itself Dharma Treasure is impure, but the monks of "Beast Refining Mountain" have achieved this, and they can indeed increase the power of Dharma Treasure a lot, but they are still looked down upon by traditional immortal cultivators, thinking they are just crooked ways.
"Beast Refining Mountain" went its own way, and through nearly ten thousand years of hard work, it finally became a high-level sect within the jurisdiction of the Pure Land Sect. There was even an old monster named Nascent Soul in the sect.
According to the news obtained by Li Yan, although a Nascent Soul was finally born in "Beast Refining Mountain", and this Nascent Soul is said to have a golden rod type Dharma Treasure, which fused the souls of seven Mortal Realm's top Demon Beast, making this person outstanding in combat power.
It was also because of this Dharma Treasure that he blocked Heavenly Tribulation four hundred years ago and was promoted to Nascent Soul, but
Four hundred years later, he is still Nascent Soul Early Stage, making no progress. The reason is that this old Nascent Soul monster has never obtained a more powerful Demon Beast soul since then, unable to improve his life Dharma Treasure in the slightest, and is firmly locked in Nascent Soul Early Stage.
These are also the pros and cons of the so-called slanted sword method. Although progress is rapid in the early stage, later cultivation is either extremely dangerous or extremely difficult to advance.
For example, the "Beast Refining Mountain" technique focuses on cultivating the natal Dharma Treasure. The stronger the natal Dharma Treasure, the stronger the martial arts. Damage to the natal Dharma Treasure will directly cause the monk to die on the spot. Non-traditional monks rely on internal skills to advance, and the natal Dharma Treasure is just a help to him.
This is the case with Li Yan. He does not have his own destiny Dharma Treasure, so he can almost dominate Foundation Establishment Realm. However, if he becomes Guiyi Water-Parting Spike, it will only make him more powerful, but it will not help him advance much. At most, it may help him resist Heavenly Tribulation.
From this, Li Yan guessed that since the two monks were disciples of the "Beast Refining Mountain", the sharp knives and daggers used may contain more than one kind of Demon Beast essence, but there would be many changes in the attack. This kind of change is also something that many monks are not willing to encounter.
One moment you may be dealing with heavy attacks from earth type Demon Beast, and the next moment suddenly there will be sharp and sharp metal type Demon Beast mixed in. This completely makes you feel like you have wrong power.
Of course, this kind of attack is just a trick when faced with a truly powerful monk opponent, no matter how varied you are. However, the chance of encountering a powerful monk is still very small. Such monks are extremely difficult to deal with.
As for the "Blue Blood Sect" where the sword cultivator is located, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Pure Land Sect. It is a first-class sect, second only to "Beast Refining Mountain" in power. This sect is an orthodox sword cultivator sect.
Logically speaking, this sect should be attached to the Ten-Step Academy, but this sect looks down upon the Ten-Step Academy. They believe that using Qi to control the sword, turning the sword into silk, and cultivating the sword in the purple organs, and finally achieving dual cultivation of life and life, and integrating the human sword into one, is the orthodox sword cultivation Heavenly Dao.
But Ten-Step Academy happened to have more inner swordsmen, and the inner swordsmen who only practiced sword pills were the strongest support of the sect. This was obviously discrimination against the outer swords. This made the "Blue Blood Sect" hate Ten-Step Academy, so they would rather stay within the scope of the Pure Land Sect than go under the jurisdiction of the Ten-Step Academy.
As for the area under the jurisdiction of the Wangliang Sect, they even sneered at it, but a group of evil sect Outer Dao followed third-rate methods and would not compete with others in an upright manner. The Daoist priests of Taixuan Sect also have sword cultivation, but they are all mixed and mixed with the method of expelling talismans and killing ghosts, which is not acceptable to them.
Although the "Blue Blood Sect" gives people a feeling that their eyes are higher than the top, it is true that the disciples of this sect are
</di>
He has a good fighting ability, and it is rare for monks of the same level to compete with him when he is dedicated to practicing swordsmanship.
It's just that orthodox swordsmanship is extremely difficult and the advancement speed is slow. Therefore, although the overall strength of "Jade Blood Sect" is not weak, there are too few disciples in the sect. The entire sect only has five or six hundred people in total. Compared with a large sect like "Beast Refining Mountain" that can easily reach tens of thousands of people, it is still inferior.
Li Yan didn't expect that soon after arriving on the second floor, he would meet Pure Land Sect, a master from the two major sects here, and he did gain experience from the brief encounter between these three people. Both parties have changeable minds and are experienced. At first glance, they look like fierce people who have been wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time. They are extremely sensitive to unknown dangers and attack decisively.
These are by no means comparable to today's Li Yan. Li Yan knows that he can get here alive because of his cautiousness and walking on thin ice.
"Haha, do Fellow Daoist Hu really just want the 'Silver Soul Flower'? Then just take it." After hearing what the sword wielding man said, Ren Jianxiu from the Bixue Sect just sneered and said.
Although he said this in his mouth, he launched an attack without any warning. He opened his hands, and a long sword instantly turned into two swimming fish. He was not afraid of the two people's Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation. He attacked them brazenly with the power of one person Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. It was really powerful.
The two big men on the other side had worked hard to set up a trap and ambush in front of them, but in the end they were waiting for the difficult sword cultivator, and the sword cultivator was famous for his vengeance. He couldn't help but feel angry. The ambush was a complete failure, but what did the two of them fear? Even if one of them was here, they would dare to fight with this person, let alone two against one.
The big sword-wielding man named Hu Hai also snorted coldly, with one hand behind his back and the other pointing like a sword. Under the connection of the void, the body of the gray giant lizard turned into a black light and wrapped around the You Hong who was slashing. When the body of the gray giant lizard just swung., three five-color rays of light suddenly shot out from its body, going straight to Daoist Priest Ren's face. If you look closely at these three five-color rays, you can see that they are three five-color birds. Their beaks are like thorns, and their claws are like hooks. They move very quickly. In a blink of an eye, they are on top of Daoist Ren's head.
The big man on the other side, who was called Ning Ji, suddenly circled with his green dagger. A small green snake appeared in the low altitude, with a fierce look in its eyes. It opened its barbed fangs, stirred its tail, and bit Daoist Ren's waist from one side. The angle was extremely tricky and swift.
At the same time, Ning Xi raised his left arm, and another yellow light shone at the wrist guard at the front of his naked forearm. A giant bear with shaggy hair appeared in front of him. With a roar that shook the sky, it opened its big hand and grabbed Changhong who was coming towards him.
As for Ren Jianxiu, his eyes were sharp and his spiritual energy was like a tide. He did not give in at all when facing the two of them.
