Chapter 172: It’s an old acquaintance
Jian Ruochen and the other three people have been sitting cross-legged on the ground doing exercises to heal their injuries and resist the poisonous gas. Seeing Jian Ruoshu's death, they all sighed secretly.
Qingshi saw that Jian Ruoshu was dead and that although Jian Ruochen and the other three were poisoned, the current situation was not too bad, so he slowly walked towards the array within the array and began to observe carefully.
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to set up a formation of your own within someone else's formation. But there is another concealment formation in Jian Ruochen's concealment formation, that's for sure.
Apparently when Jian Ruochen was fighting Jian Rumu just now, someone unknowingly entered the magic circle he had set up and set up another formation in it.
This array within an array was very cleverly laid out. If Jian Ruoshu hadn't jumped out of it and been exposed, Qingshi would have never been able to discover it. Even Qingshi couldn't do this kind of formation technique. It wasn't that his formation cultivation was low, but that this special method was only available to the Chaoge Xiang clan.
At this time, since Qingshi had already seen the formation within the formation, he gradually discovered some clues upon further observation. However, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.
After a long time, Qingshi finally smiled bitterly and said, "Oh! I didn't expect it to be you! Come out, Brother Xiang!"
no respond.
Qingshi continued: "The formation within the formation is a secret of the Xiang family. Your formation techniques have both the style of the Tianxuan Academy and the style of the Annan faction. Apart from you, Brother Xiang, there is no other person in the world." People have this way of doing things.”
no respond.
"Brother Xiang An!" Qingshi said, "Do you have to give up by calling your name?"
"Alas!" Finally, a male voice sounded, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you in the end. Jian Ruoshu didn't listen to me, so it was just that he died, and he also exposed me. It's really not a pity to die, and it's more than deserved." !”
"Holy crap!" Qingshi couldn't help but cursed a curse word that no one else could understand, "It's really you!"
"You...you deceived me?" Xiang An said in surprise, "Oh! You are always so smart and wise, and I am always inferior to you, so I have always admired you."
"You are the most likely, because you grew up in Annan Xiang's family." Qingshi said, "But other Xiang family members who have practiced in Tianxuan Academy's Formation Academy are also possible. How do I know if you are the only one who has learned Annan? Where's the formation? But luckily it's you. If it were Xiang Wuji, I would be really sad. Hey! Aren't you showing up yet?"
"No! I really don't have the face to see Brother Qingshi!"
"Do you still feel guilty? Do you still know that you have no face to see me?"
"Of course, I also have a sense of shame. By the way, why are you sad if it's Wuji, but 'okay' if it's me? Even if my friendship with you is not as good as Wuji, we can still be considered brothers. You When you find out that I am the one who wants to kill you, are you really not sad at all? But the thought of killing you makes me so sad that I often can’t sleep and cry silently until dawn..."
"Who is this shameless person?" An angry shout came from Jian Ruomu, who was furious and furious.
"Why do you, an old man, speak so harshly? I just said that I have a sense of shame, and I have no choice but to do so!" Xiang An said dissatisfied.
"Elder Ruomu, don't be angry," Qingshi said, "This man has always been such a scoundrel. Now that he has been exposed, don't even think about running away. Please be patient and wait and see how I deal with him."
"Brother Qingshi, are you joking?" Xiang An said, "I really can't think of how you can deal with me. How about you talk about it. There is no need for us brothers to actually take action. You can tell us and we will study it together. Let’s analyze it in detail. If you really have a way to deal with me, I will surrender. If not, you can just cut off your head and give it to me. That would be great!”
"You designed to kill me, why don't you first tell me how you plan to deal with me!" Qingshi said with a smile, "Let's also study and analyze it in detail, okay?"
"Okay!" Xiang Anxi said, "In the beginning, I devised several methods, such as sneak attacks, poisoning, etc., but you cracked them all. Up to now, I actually don't have any good methods anymore. I will do it now. Only one word comes to mind: wait!"
"Wait? You're not going to come in and kill me?"
"Look what you said, Jian Ruoshu is a ninth-level Dzogchen practitioner in the Golden Core Realm, and he is full of poison. He is so powerful that you killed him. How can I dare to fight with you? It will hurt my feelings, right? Don't come in. Don’t come in!”
"I remember when I first met Brother Xiang, I had just entered Tianlong Academy not long ago, and it was still a small Qi Gathering realm. Brother Xiang was in the Yuan Dan realm at that time. Now more than ten years have passed, and Brother Xiang's cultivation level It must be unfathomable!”
"What the hell! Your cultivation level was very low back then, but you grew up too fast. You should be at the Yuan Dan realm now! You have been a brother-in-law for so many years, and now you are only at the third stage of the Golden Dan realm. I don’t know which year or month I will be able to enter the elixir realm!”
"Since Brother Xiang's cultivation level is so much higher than mine, why don't we come in and have a battle between us brothers? Winning or losing, life or death, wouldn't it be great! Aren't you as timid as that mouse? .”
"It's different! He is timid, but I am wise."
"Then you can take care of me just by waiting like this?"
"Can't you?"
"You may be able to poison the three of them, but I can't be poisoned. You already know that!"
"Yes, I heard everything you just said. Brother Qingshi is indeed amazing. He is actually born invulnerable to all poisons! My admiration for you has reached a new level! However, you don't have to die alone. Use poison! There are other ways, such as cutting with a knife or stabbing with a sword. Oh, this method doesn't work for you either. By the way, you can do it if you are hungry."
"You want to starve me to death?"
"No, this is really cruel, but I have no other choice but to wait for you to starve to death. Although this method is slow, it is the safest."
Qingshi's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this guy was right. None of the four of them had storage devices on them, which meant there was nothing that could replenish their energy.
It would be easy for Xiang An to close the platform and cut off the spiritual energy. Now that there is no trace of spiritual energy in the air, it is obvious that he has already done so.
Judging from the current situation, Jian Ruochen and the other three would die from the poison in at most seven days, and if he did not eat, drink or absorb spiritual energy, he could only survive for a year at most.
If he sat quietly and meditated, he could last for one more year, but Xiang An must have other ways to consume himself. Even if he uses the spiritual stone embedded in the flying sword, he will inevitably starve to death in the end, it's just a matter of time. Of course, Qingshi is not worried about this problem.
"Your method won't work!" Qingshi said, "Unless I have no way to deal with it, I can only let you slaughter me."
"Alas! I know it's not that easy to deal with Brother Qingshi. Well, I've already told you how to deal with you. Please tell me how you plan to deal with me! If you really have a way, then I will surrender, otherwise you will kill your own head It’s time to cut it off. It’s so uncomfortable to starve to death. According to your situation, you will have to starve for at least a year. Even if I help you, it will probably take half a year. I also want to finish it as soon as possible. We should understand each other, don’t you think? "
"Can I walk out on my own?"
"No, unless I don't stop it."
"Maybe someone from the Immortal Sword Sect will come to save me?"
"Impossible. I can seal the trial cave at any time so that no one can enter. Even if my great-grandfather comes, I can stop him for two years."
"I beg you to let me go, will you agree? Brother Xiang An!"
"Alas! How could Brother Qingshi ask such a question? What is our relationship? We are brothers who once fought side by side and went through life and death together! How could I come to kill you if I didn't have to? I have to say, asking such a question Question, my admiration for you has dropped half a level."
"Oh, I'm just asking casually, should you worship me or please continue to worship me, because you will worship me even more soon, at least go up three floors!"
"No way? Brother Qingshi, don't scare me!"
"How do you feel about me breaking your magic circle and finding you out?"
"boast!"
"Last time Jiang Chenxiu assassinated me, you should have followed me. You should know how I dealt with him, right?"
"I know, Soul Seizing Ball! Good guy, Brother Qingshi's magic weapons are really numerous and powerful. Fortunately, I'm far away."
Qingshi was stunned and thought to himself: It turns out that this guy was hiding far away and didn't see Xiaopang take action. He thought that the soul-stealing ball was used by him to deal with Jiang Chenxiu.
"So you really went there! You probably hid far away and were frightened by the power of the Soul Seizing Ball, so you didn't dare to attack me again, right?"
"Of course, with such a strong flash of light and such a large energy fluctuation, I can feel it from a long way away. Who knows if you have a second Soul Seizing Ball or other magic weapon."
"Then you still went to the crime scene, right? Didn't Jiang Chenxiu tell you anything?"
"Jiang Chenxiu has been beaten to death by you! It's so unkind to say such sarcastic words. Can dead people talk?"
"Jiang Chenxiu is dead?" Qingshi was startled, and then he realized that Xiaopang's attack was too harsh, "This guy really doesn't need to be beaten! In fact, dead people can also talk. Didn't you hear what the dead Jiang Chenxiu said?"
"Oh, Brother Qingshi is really humorous! Well, Jiang Chenxiu's body said that he was beaten to death by Brother Qingshi. It seems that he was pressed to the ground, stepped on dozens of feet and punched hundreds of times. The specific situation is not clear, but it can He must have been beaten to death!”
"Yes, he was indeed beaten to death! But not by me! There weren't that many punches and kicks! It seemed like there was only one slap. Either Jiang Chenxiu's body didn't explain it clearly, or your eyes didn't hear it clearly."
"Not you? Who is that?"
"Little Fatty!"
"Little Fatty? Little Fatty...oh! That little foodie beast you raised?"
"Little spirit beast?"
"Isn't it? That little skinny guy with a fox tail?"
"It's him, but he's not a small spiritual beast, he's a big monster! No, it's a big monster!"
"Bragging again! The more you brag, the more outrageous it becomes!"
"To tell you the truth, I wasn't the one who used the soul-stealing ball to blow up Jiang Chenxiu that day. It was Jiang Chenxiu who used the soul-stealing ball to blow up me. I was blown up half to death. Fortunately, the little fat guy showed up in time and killed Jiang Chenxiu and that killer. Cleaned up."
"Keep blowing!"
"You really don't believe it?"
"You don't believe a word of it. Stop trying to fool me. I won't be fooled."
"Then I'm going to break the formation. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance to surrender."
"You can't break it. This formation is not that simple."
"I know you didn't come out not because you were afraid of losing face to see me, but because you took advantage of this period to change your hiding formation into a defensive formation."
"Yeah! Did you see it?" Suddenly there was a flash of light at the location of the hiding array, and then the hiding array disappeared. A blue spherical defensive barrier appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Through the transparent energy wall, a standing figure could be seen. On top of a thick stone pillar.
Then, the energy wall film slowly faded, revealing the true face of the man. He saw that the man was young, handsome, and majestic, with a cynical smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Qingshi could clearly see that it was Xiang An.
"You are really cautious," Qingshi said. "These stone pillars are a perfect trapping formation for me. I can't even see your hiding formation clearly, let alone reach it, but you still have to build another defensive formation." .”
"Yes," Xiang An said with a smile, "I will never underestimate you. Didn't you say you want to break my formation? It's better to be careful. You have too many tricks. I'm afraid you really have a way to defeat me. Bring in big killer weapons like soul seizing balls.”
"I don't have a Soul-Seizing Ball, and I can't bring it in if I do, and I can't throw it in. Isn't it blocked by the stone pillar formation?" Qingshi said with a smile.
"Now you can't hurt me even if you throw it." Xiang An also smiled.
"I told you that I didn't kill Jiang Chenxiu with the Soul Seizing Ball, it was Fatty who did it."
"I also said I don't believe it."
"Little Fatty is not an ordinary spiritual beast, he is a great divine beast that can transform."
"I still don't believe it! The little fat guy I know is a little foodie monster."
"Come out, little fat guy!" Qingshi said.
Everyone was staring at Qingshi to see what he was doing. Suddenly, without any warning, a barefoot fat man in a white coat and black shorts appeared next to Qingshi. He looked eleven or twelve years old and had a piece of meat in his mouth. Bones looked like he hadn't woken up.
Xiang An's eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth. Jian Ruochen and the other three also looked at the little fat man in surprise, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Qingshi touched Fatty's head and said, "Little Fatty, this guy doesn't believe that you are a great demon that can transform... a great beast, he looks down on you!"
There was a soft bang accompanied by a trace of smoke rising up. Xiaopang turned into a giant beast without saying a word. The platform was immediately crowded with its huge body, and the energy barrier guarding the platform was crushed and collapsed with a click.
Qingshi was already prepared and stood between the two front legs of the giant beast. Jian Ruochen and the other three were squeezed off the platform by the giant monster's butt and fell into the water together.
For Xiaopang, this platform with a diameter of three feet seemed to only be able to accommodate his butt. He squatted on the platform, raised a huge forefoot and slapped Xiang An.
The blue defensive barrier was already operating at full capacity, and Xiang An screamed crazily inside with a crying sound: "No, no, no, I surrender, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I even treated you to a barbecue...ah... ..."
boom! ...
