"What happened? Is he a human, a beast, or a ghost?"
At this moment, Liu Huaigu felt not only confusion but also a chilling fear. He felt that everything around him was no longer the fairyland he was familiar with.
Everything was so unfriendly to him, which made him feel bad all of a sudden.
He even wondered if the other party was a Void Refining cultivator. He had seen many Spiritual Transformation cultivators, but he had never seen a magical power that could control and affect other people's spells...
All this, from the moment Li Yan appeared and attacked the masked man in red robe, to the third time he struck Liu Huaigu, took only four and a half breaths.
Ever since Li Yan's fight with Xue Longzi, his understanding of his own techniques has reached a level that Yuanying cultivators cannot reach and are unable to face.
This is an important reason why many monks like to practice on the brink of life and death. It is a great enlightenment that cannot be obtained through hard practice.
When Li Yan's "Five Elements Chaos Cloak" stirred up the rules around the Divine Transformation cultivator, because the Divine Transformation cultivator had too strong a control over the power of rules, every time he used it, his sea of consciousness would suffer a huge backlash, and he would hurt himself before hurting others.
Now, after he had a deep understanding of the rules of the Nascent Soul Realm, he knew the laws governing the operation of the common five elements rules, and also saw the brief mixing gaps that appeared between their mutual transformations.
The mixed gaps caused by the operation of the five elements were under the extremely strong control of the Divine Transformation cultivator. Li Yan wanted to interrupt it by force. He was not only attacked by the rules of heaven and earth, but also by the control power of the Divine Transformation cultivator.
These insights were what he had not known and could not grasp before. He had only thought that practicing the "Five Elements Chaos Cloak" only required disrupting the power of the five elements.
After he had an indescribable realization, he realized how powerful and terrifying the "Five Elements Cloak" was. It seemed that he had only just mastered the basics.
With his spiritual power far exceeding that of his peers, once this technique is used on cultivators below the Spirit Transformation stage, the timing of his grasp is so accurate that it seems to have reached a point where there is no solution.
This made his enemies, besides going crazy inside, feel extremely confused and had no idea what was going on.
This had dealt a severe blow to Liu Huaigu's confidence. He even began to doubt his own martial arts, wondering if the other party had discovered some loopholes...
After losing the subsequent magic support, the "Immortal Stone" was shaken away by the spinning silver patterns on Shangguan Tianque's shield the next moment.
For four and a half breaths, all Shangguan Tianque saw was a series of incredible scenes.
At first, for some unknown reason, the masked man in red robe suddenly stopped where he was. Before Shangguan Tianque could react, he seemed to see a familiar scene again.
Liu Huaigu was hit by a brutal and violent attack, and he was thrown forward and rolled over, without any strength to resist at all.
What defense and counterattack, what defense and attack, Liu Huaigu seemed like a different person facing Li Yan's attack, and he no longer had the composure to face himself.
Liu Huaigu was simply facing a peerless and wild ferocious beast, and it was a completely crushing existence.
"This... this... is this the true strength of the cultivators in the lower realm? He is just like a butcher at the same level, and he is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul... If he advances to the late stage, will he be able to compete with even the Divine Transformation?"
The scene was too shocking, and Shangguan Tianque could not see the chaotic power of rules at all, so the impact was even greater.
He saw the scene where Liu Huaigu was almost crippled. If it weren't for the powerful golden light outside his body, he should have ended up like Mang Yan.
“Shhhhh!”
Liu Huaigu turned around while flying forward, and was looked at by Li Yan's calm gaze, his whole body turned cold, as if he had fallen into the netherworld.
Li Yan, who was following him in his consciousness like a ghost, had already made him frightened. It seemed as if the other party was going to follow him like this until the end of time, as if they would "never be separated".
It has been many years since I had this feeling. This feeling of powerlessness only occurs when facing cultivators above the Spirit Transformation level. I can neither defeat them nor escape from them.
The icy aura emitted by the other party was like a shadow following him, and the oppressive feeling in Liu Huaigu's heart had brought him to the brink of collapse.
Just when his eyes were filled with fear and he wanted to avoid the other party's entanglement, Li Yan, with a calm look, approached again and raised his hand.
"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist..."
Liu Huaigu was so frightened that his soul was almost scared out of his wits, and the sound he made was mixed with the blood in his mouth.
However, what almost drove him crazy was that he no longer wanted to fight back, and just wanted to use the flying technique to escape. But even the flying technique could not call upon the power of heaven and earth, and it failed.
Generally speaking, the distance he so-called escaped was actually caused by the opponent.
He was so scared that he turned around and shouted at Li Yan, his voice full of fear.
But Li Yan had already noticed that the golden light on the opponent's body had dimmed too much. He had used 90% of his strength in the last attack, and the power of the jade ring was almost exhausted.
Li Yan felt that his pure physical strength was enough to compete with that of a Divine Transformation cultivator, which meant that the jade ring could almost withstand several consecutive attacks from the Divine Transformation cultivator.
The cultivators in the fairy world are truly wealthy and powerful. The level of a Nascent Soul cultivator's defensive magic weapon is this high. It's a pity that this jade ring is now useless.
Li Yan ignored Liu Huaigu's shouting. In the other party's desperate and terrified eyes, he raised his left fist, but this time, there was also a little golden light on his left fist.
Looking closely at the golden light, it looked like golden bone spurs growing on the fists of his fists.
"No!"
Amid Liu Huaigu's horrified voice, Li Yan's fourth punch landed with a bang.
"boom!"
Another punch hit Liu Huaigu's back hard, and the position was almost overlapping with the previous punches.
“Buzz!”
The golden light on Liu Huaigu's body could no longer bear the burden. After he let out a low hum of unwillingness, the protective light shield that had already run out of mana to support it collapsed into a sky full of golden light.
Then, Li Yan's fist smashed into the opponent's body, and those golden bone spurs directly pierced into the opponent's body.
Liu Huaigu's body shook violently, and he opened his mouth wide, and a stream of blood as bright as a rainbow, mixed with some black stuff, spurted out into the distance. The light in his eyes instantly became a little blurred.
This time, the originally chaotic magic power in his body was suddenly cut into pieces starting from the Du Channel on his back, and could no longer form a circulation system.
And a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage didn't even have the ability to launch an attack on the opponent...
"Want to run?"
Shangguan Tianque in the distance turned around abruptly, and the "Blood Jade Snake Spider" on the side also reacted at this time. It immediately retracted the spider silk that was wrapped around the silver spear and fled into the distance at a high speed, not even caring about the masked red-robed man.
Its overall strength is still far inferior to Shangguan Tianque. Shangguan Tianque had just been forced into a desperate situation by two people and one monster, and he was feeling extremely aggrieved. How could he let it escape at this time
In a flash, Shangguan Tianque disappeared from the spot, leaving only two stunned people in the void and Li Yan who had stopped attacking.
After Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times, he finally did not chase after him, but instead set his gaze again on Liu Huaigu. While the other party was looking terrified, his palm had already been placed directly on the top of his head.
In Liu Huaigu's heart, he was not only afraid of the impending soul-searching, but also of the terrifying method that the other party had to seal the Nascent Soul from leaving the body.
At the most critical moment just now, Liu Huaigu knew that he could not save his physical body. Even if he escaped this time, his strength would surely drop greatly, so he planned to let his Nascent Soul escape into the void.
But just as his Nascent Soul was about to leave his body, he discovered to his horror that the golden light that the other party had bombarded into his body from behind had actually formed golden fences around his body in just a moment...
His Nascent Soul was bounced back after the collision, and his Nascent Soul was actually imprisoned by the opponent.
Moreover, after the Nascent Soul was touched by the golden light, some strange power was seeping into the body of the Nascent Soul, which caused the power in his Nascent Soul that could move mountains and overturn seas to be rapidly lost...
This method can only be used to seal a person with a strong cultivation level after reaching a higher realm. In the Nascent Soul Realm, this kind of technique is rare. Liu Huaigu has only heard of it but never seen it. The next moment, a stream of blood that stirred his soul came from his head, and his face showed extreme pain...
Nearly a hundred breaths later, there was a slight fluctuation in the void, and Shangguan Tianque appeared at the place where the fight had just taken place. He saw Li Yan standing quietly in the air.
Holding Liu Huaigu's "Immortal Stone" in his hand, he was examining it carefully, looking quite interested.
At this time, Li Yan raised his head.
"Both of them are still alive. I searched Liu Huaigu's soul before, but I didn't search the masked red-robed guest. Sect Master, you can try again, but there is a possibility that he will self-destruct."
Li Yan said calmly that he knew Shangguan Tianque must want to know more information about the other party, so he spared the lives of the two men.
However, he took away all the storage magic tools on these two people without hesitation. When he returned and had time, he would check them one by one.
As he spoke, Liu Huaigu's "Immortal Stone" was also taken back by him. This magic weapon was very strange and extremely powerful. It was able to make a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage look miserable, which showed its extraordinaryness.
Li Yan would naturally not be polite about this. He didn't have many good magic weapons on him, and most of the battles depended on his own magical powers.
At the same time, Li Yan's usual caution was once again demonstrated. Not only did he search Liu Huaigu's memory and obtain a lot of information, but he also erased some of the other party's memories.
That was the memory about the sudden disorder of the power of rules around Liu Huaigu, and the golden light in his body involving the "Demon Sealing Nail". That was something Li Yan absolutely did not want others to see.
Therefore, Shangguan Tianque still saw Li Yan's violent and unruly attacking style, and still believed that he was a physical cultivator.
As for the masked man in red robe not far away, Li Yan just tested him briefly and then immediately withdrew his magic power.
He was certain that the other party, like the other red-robed man with a foreign mask, had his sea of consciousness restricted, and he could not break it at all. After combining it with Liu Huaigu's memory, he stopped searching his soul.
"Elder Li, if it weren't for you today, even if I could escape, I would probably have to abandon this body and use teleportation to escape!"
After Shangguan Tianque killed the "Blood Jade Snake Spider", he immediately rushed back. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was convinced by Li Yan.
Moreover, the worries he had about Li Yan before were gone at this moment. He expressed his gratitude sincerely and even told her how he planned to escape without hiding anything.
Li Yan's fighting ability is too strong. He now suspects that he is a Divine Transformation cultivator who has deliberately concealed his cultivation level.
After all, the highest realm of cultivators in the lower realm can only be the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Nothing! It was just a surprise attack. I have no confidence in a real fight!"
Li Yan said lightly.
At this time, Shangguan Tianque no longer believed Li Yan's "modest" words in his heart.
As for what the other party called a "sneak attack", Shangguan Tianque would be shocked if he believed it.
He was of course very clear about what it meant to capture a Nascent Soul cultivator alive. It was several times more difficult than killing a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if he wanted to launch a sneak attack, it would be extremely difficult to do so.
And from what Li Yan said, the other party should have captured three people alive. If this was a coincidence, Shangguan Tianque would be an idiot.
After a brief hesitation, he didn't say anything else and waved his hand to take Liu Huaigu away.
He didn't even bother to check what sealed Liu Huaigu, nor did he suspect that Li Yan's seal was not secure, and he just took it.
Then, he flew towards the masked man in red robe. Seeing this, Li Yan immediately shook his body and floated quickly away.
Not long after, with a loud "boom", a tremendous aura of destruction spread out directly from behind Li Yan.
Soon, a figure flashed, and appeared at the side of Li Yan with the aura of destruction behind him. It was Shangguan Tianque. He looked at Li Yan deeply.
His aura was a little unstable. Although Li Yan reminded him, the prohibition in the other party's sea of consciousness exploded much faster than he had imagined, and he was still affected.
There was an intense light in the depths of Shangguan Tianque's eyes. He was certain that the other masked man in a red robe must have died at the hands of Li Yan.
He became even more determined in his heart to let Li Yan stay in "Pojunmen". Li Yan was not only very clear about the distinction between gratitude and righteousness, but also so reassuring once he made a promise.
He doesn't have much time left in this world. If Li Yan can stay, his junior sister will have a much better hope of reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm than himself.
By then, with Li Yan's assistance, there will be more than 70% chance that "Pojun Gate" will not have any problems for at least a thousand years.
Then, after blocking the aftermath behind him, Shangguan Tianque waved his sleeves, and Liu Huaigu appeared in front of him. After losing his magic power, Liu Huaigu had restored his original appearance on his own.
Shangguan Tianque searched the soul again without any pause, and the other two did not propose to help Dong Lin Tingyue for the time being. The other party had already escaped from their spiritual awareness range and was gone for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles.
They could only go to the agreed meeting point to find her. Besides, both of them were extremely smart and could see that Dong Lin Tingyue had the idea of escaping alone.
After all, there were three late-stage great monks attacking them here. No matter how you looked at it, the two of them were in great danger. In that case, they naturally had no intention of helping each other immediately.
Liu Huaigu's originally handsome face became crooked again with the infusion of Shangguan Tianque's magic power, his mouth and eyes became slanted, his eyes were bloodshot and his eyeballs were bulging.
The two of them would definitely not show mercy when searching the soul of such a person, but Li Yan was gentler considering that he still had to stay for Shangguan Tianque to search his soul, so he took it easy.
If I fell into the hands of the other party, I would probably end up like this, and it might be even more miserable, so I don't want to consider the other party's feelings.
Fortunately, Liu Huaigu's mouth was sealed, so he could not make any sound no matter how much pain he was in. Even his body, which tried to struggle hard, was firmly fixed in place by a magical power.
Time passed little by little, and Li Yan stood not far away, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. At the same time, he spread his spiritual sense to observe whether there were other cultivators or monsters approaching.
After seventy or eighty breaths.
"boom!"
Liu Huaigu's head first exploded like a watermelon, and then, starting from his neck, his body exploded into pieces of blood mist, like a rapidly melting column of blood, finally ending his time of living a life worse than death...
In the void, the "White Jade Boat" was flying at a high speed, and on it stood Shangguan Tianque and Li Yan. They were discussing something in a low voice, and the two of them looked very harmonious.
At this time, Shangguan Tianque no longer had any scruples and began to discuss all his doubts with Li Yan one by one.
The information they obtained from soul searching just now made Shangguan Tianque feel that an unknown trouble was quietly approaching him, or someone was targeting the "Pojun Gate".
As far as Liu Huaigu himself was concerned, he ambushed the two of them just for the sake of the female Nascent Soul cultivator from the "Dragon Capturing Sect", with whom he had an affair.
Moreover, that female Nascent Soul was actually related to Mang Yan. In the end, Mang Yan and Liu Huaigu did not fight each other, but shared the female Nascent Soul cultivator.
Speaking of which, it is the female Nascent Soul cultivator who is good at a method of dragon-phoenix mating. Whenever people have sex with her, they cannot stop and will often recall the feeling that makes them linger over and over again afterwards.
Perhaps due to the requirements of her practice or other reasons, the female cultivator was not willing to form a Taoist partner with anyone. This meant that Liu Huaigu could only go to see her once in a while.
But no one expected that although the skills practiced by this female cultivator were somewhat obscene, her personality was completely the opposite. In the end, she even vowed to live and die with the "Dragon Capturing Sect", truly living up to the demeanor of an elder.
From this point of view, some people's temperament and behavior have nothing to do with the practice they do.
So, when Liu Huaigu learned that his confidante had died at the hands of the "Pojun Gate", and it was Shangguan Tianque's senior brother and sister who came to attack him personally, it led to his confidante's death.
Then the hatred for him has been deeply engraved in his bones, and he just wants to kill him as soon as possible.
So, after constantly collecting various information, they finally chased all the way to the market town.
