Even with the strength of his spiritual sense, he could only sense a few fluctuations. He thought that apart from the great elder and the sect master, no one else in the valley would be able to sense it, not to mention the enemies outside the formation.
Afterwards, when Li Yan wanted to sense it carefully again, the aura of those cultivators had all disappeared.
Among the auras of those cultivators, there were several people that Li Yan was familiar with, including Feng Tao and several people that Li Yan had specially noted down before.
"These people disappeared too quickly. Did they use a teleportation array? Teleportation array..."
Li Yan had not figured out something before, but now he had some understanding. He immediately thought of the "teleportation array" and the situation in which Baidao Tianbao Pavilion in Mingdu City used the teleportation array to quietly transfer important items.
"Were these people teleported away? Were they on a mission, or escaping?"
Li Yan fell into deep thought for a while...
Less than half an hour later, in a secret room in the courtyard deep in the valley that Li Yan had been to before, the light dimmed, a figure staggered, and then a red figure flashed.
Tian Xingzi's childish face gradually solidified. At this moment, his face was as white as gold paper. His body, which was originally as solid as a rock, kept shaking. Many parts of his red robe were so red that they were glaring.
His left arm was broken at the shoulder, and there was a large bloody hole in his chest and abdomen, and a few inches below was his Dantian purple organ.
A large amount of blood was surging in the blood hole, as if it was about to gush out, but strangely not a drop flowed out, as it had been forcibly sealed in his body by his magic power.
As soon as his figure appeared, he slapped his waist with his only remaining right hand, and immediately dozens of jade bottles flew out of the storage bag.
Tian Xingzi did not hesitate for a moment. He opened his mouth and a ray of light swept across. The stoppers of dozens of jade bottles were opened. In an instant, the room was filled with the scent of various medicines.
With a flick of his hand, an emerald green jade bottle flew in front of him. As his fingertips pulled and guided the spiritual power, a green mist flew out from the mouth of the jade bottle, and suddenly the whole cave was filled with vitality.
The smell was refreshing and refreshing. As soon as the green mist flew out of the bottle, it immediately gathered towards the big hole in Tian Xingzi's chest and abdomen. With just a few simple movements, Tian Xingzi's forehead and cheeks were already covered with sweat.
He let the green mist go into the bloody hole and just stood there, but the muscles on his face were twitching, showing that he was not as calm as he looked.
Soon after the green mist entered the big hole, the flesh and meridians at the edge of the wound seemed to come alive and began to wriggle on their own without Tian Xingzi using any spiritual power.
The veins like earthworms were rapidly extending, and each lump of flesh and blood was like a toothless monster, rapidly closing inwards as it squirmed...
About half an incense stick later, Tian Xingzi's body shook violently and he finally sat down on the ground. At this moment, the big hole in his chest and abdomen had completely disappeared.
He sat on the ground, breathing heavily. After more than ten breaths, his chest, which had been heaving violently, slowly returned to normal.
He looked at his left shoulder and frowned. It would be troublesome to regenerate a broken limb. Not only did it require special rare treasures, but more importantly, it took a lot of time.
"Leave it alone for now!"
Tian Xingzi thought in his mind, raised his right hand again and made a wave, and dozens of pills of different sizes flew out from the other jade bottles that were still floating in the air.
These pills were either fragrant or extremely smelly, but he sucked them all into his stomach in one gulp, and then Tian Xingzi whispered a message into the void.
"Come find me in three hours. The monks from the four sects will be here soon!"
After saying that, he immediately closed his eyes. Although he needed more time to meditate and recover, there was not much time left for them.
When Lin Xinghe stepped into the courtyard, he saw a young man in a clean red robe sitting in the courtyard.
When he saw Tian Xingzi's pale face and one empty long sleeve, he couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Master, your injury..."
Tian Xingzi was still as cold as ever, with no expression of joy or sadness.
“It’s just one arm. Lie Changfeng is still very scary when he tries his best. Although his foundation is not as strong as mine, his dodging speed in a short distance is not comparable to mine.
Therefore, I have to pay a price. He... has already escaped with serious injuries, and will not be able to participate in the subsequent battles!"
Having said that, a faint smile finally appeared on the red-robed young man's cold face.
Before, when everyone thought that he could do nothing to the other two, including Lie Changfeng and Sang Dongxing, they also thought so.
He suddenly sent a message to Lin Xinghe, who was willing to consume a huge amount of spirit stones to activate the "Star Sea Abyss" restriction of the sect protection formation, which instantly broke the joint force of Lie Changfeng and Sang Dongxing.
At the same time, Tian Xingzi also knew that even if it consumed a huge amount of spirit stones to cast this restriction in a short period of time, with Lin Xinghe's ability to control it, he would not be able to delay the two of them for too long.
Therefore, he must take advantage of this rare opportunity and seriously injure at least one person to make his plan come true.
The target was of course Sang Dongxing, but he misjudged Lie Changfeng's speed. He used all his strength to escape but it took him only two breaths of time.
If he wanted to kill or severely injure Sang Dongxing who had been held back, it would take him five to ten breaths just by relying on his magic power.
In desperation, he had to use his most powerful magical power, "Broken Starfire", which he had practiced for more than 1,400 years.
This is the unique skill of "Falling Star Valley" that he has been practicing since he successfully established his foundation. It is also an extremely difficult magical power to practice.
To practice this skill, one needs to gradually introduce the extremely overbearing earth fire into the Dantian to temper and nourish it. When the foundation-building cultivators are refining pills and tools, they dare not stay in the "Star-Breaking Chamber" for too long. If they stay a little longer, the fire poison will attack their hearts and burn them to death, not to mention introducing the earth fire into their bodies. At that time, Tian Xingzi, who was also a foundation-building cultivator, did this, and the risks he faced could be imagined.
Even with the corresponding exercises, every practice is undoubtedly walking on the edge of life and death.
Since the founding of "Falling Star Valley", only six people dared to practice this technique. After four of them died in the fire of the earth, no one dared to try it anymore.
Later, including Xing Ming and Lin Xinghe, they all chose other unique skills of "Falling Star Valley" and did not dare to try to practice "Broken Star Fire".
Among all the golden elixirs in the "Broken Star Valley", only Tian Xingzi and his Nascent Soul master succeeded in their cultivation.
Even after being refined, the "Broken Star Fire" is generally only used as a last resort to save one's life. Once used, it still requires one's own essence and blood to continuously support and burn it. It is a magical method that hurts others and oneself.
After more than 1,400 years of practice, Tian Xingzi had only refined two "broken star fires". Now there was only a trace of another fire in his dantian that could disappear at any time, and he could not use it a second time.
He could only wait until the future to inhale the earth fire again to temper and nourish himself.
However, due to the existence of this trace of fire, the speed can be many times faster than refining from scratch, so there is no need to worry about not being able to succeed next time.
Although this technique can injure one thousand others and hurt oneself eight hundred, its power is truly incomparably domineering and vicious. Tian Xingzi has only used it twice, including this time.
Both times, the opponent's body was completely destroyed, and even his golden elixir and soul could not escape, which truly destroyed his life.
It takes some time to burn his essence and blood to perform this method, so he must have a suitable opportunity.
The "Broken Star Fire" took away a large amount of essence and blood, and Tian Xingzi's combat power was also greatly damaged. His strength was less than about 60% of usual. He also had to consider how to deal with Lie Changfeng.
But everything was worth it for Tian Xingzi. Just seeing that he could kill a late Jindan cultivator within two breaths was enough to make him feel better.
When Lie Changfeng broke free from the starlight and saw what was happening below, he was already frightened to death. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into the opponent's trap.
Not only did Tianxingzi hide his "Broken Star Fire" magical power, but even the legendary Ichigo sect formation owned by the second-rate sect "Falling Star Valley" was real.
Of course, the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator was born in the "Falling Star Valley" would be discovered by those who are interested.
However, the Nascent Soul appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly, leaving "Falling Star Valley" with no chance of being promoted to a first-rate sect.
Therefore, many sects that later migrated to the Lost Continent, when seeing this introduction to the "Falling Star Valley" and combining it with the current strength of the "Falling Star Valley", often just sneered and did not believe it at all.
And those ancient sects that once had grievances with "Falling Star Valley" would certainly not go around promoting "Falling Star Valley", which resulted in some legends of "Falling Star Valley" being in name only.
Lie Changfeng clearly saw that Tian Xingzi's aura dropped drastically after he performed the legendary "Broken Star Fire", but he was also a suspicious person by nature.
In addition, he is now in the midst of this terrifying formation, so how could he dare to turn back to help Sang Dongxing? The reality that a fellow Taoist would rather die than let himself die is the most realistic in the world of immortal cultivation.
He turned around and ran without saying a word, fearing that the other party would activate other attack methods in the formation, and then there would be no hope of escape.
Little did he know that when this great formation activated the "Star Sea Abyss" restriction, it wasn't just the spirit stones that disappeared like a tide.
The formation will consume 60% of its power in just a very short period of time. Although it is possible to activate other forbidden attacks, the power is much smaller. It no longer poses any threat to them, the Jindan cultivators.
But Lie Changfeng had no idea of this, so he left Sang Dongxing behind and fled regardless of everything.
His speed was no longer that of an ordinary false infant monk. With the innate magical powers of the Black Feathered Eagle clan, he escaped to the edge of the outer valley formation in the blink of an eye.
Then the real body appeared again and flashed away hundreds of miles away. Tian Xingzi was not willing to miss this opportunity.
He was cold-blooded towards others and had no feelings towards himself at all, and in an instant his blood and energy were burning again.
Lie Changfeng had not been in the false infant state for long and was unable to smoothly control the circulation of spiritual power throughout his body, so although his speed was fast, a lot of spiritual power was wasted.
After escaping for more than 6,000 miles, he was still caught up by Tian Xingzi, who burned his blood and essence desperately.
Seeing that the other party was willing to burn his blood and essence to kill him, Lie Changfeng could not escape even if he wanted to. A desperate dog will jump over the wall, let alone a Jindan cultivator. Lie Changfeng immediately decided to fight to the death.
He knew that Tian Xingzi's state could not last for too long, so he simply fought with him.
After a fierce battle, Tian Xingzi's aura was rapidly declining, and at this time Lin Xinghe, who had come all the way to help him, was still three thousand miles away.
If Tian Xingzi left at this time, Lie Changfeng would not dare to turn around and chase him.
But Tian Xingzi was determined to kill the other party. With a fierce light flashing in his eyes, he immediately swallowed a handful of pills that could forcibly increase his magic power.
After finally sacrificing an arm and risking his body being broken into two, he used a thin knife to dismember Lie Changfeng's body into pieces, acting extremely ferociously.
In the end, only a light yellow magic core escaped from Lie Changfeng's body, and Tian Xingzi was also extremely cruel, and he was no longer able to chase after the opponent's escaped magic core.
But the moment the Li Changfeng Demon Core appeared, he did not hesitate to self-destruct the thin knife, his life-saving magic weapon.
This caused Tian Xingzi, who was already seriously injured, to suffer another severe blow, and he could only stay standing by relying on his spiritual power.
