Cheng Ling took Xi Yan and Zhang Hu and walked forward first. Along the way, if he encountered scattered sword elves who were alone, he would ask Xi Yan and Zhang Hu to kill them, which not only tempered their state of mind, but also stabilized their cultivation.
The three of them traveled for a month, during which time they each absorbed a True Yuan Fruit.
Cheng Ling's cultivation level has been improved to the Perfection of Divine Transformation, Xiyan has reached the peak of the middle stage of Divine Transformation, and Zhang Hu has improved the fastest and has reached the perfection of Nascent Soul.
However, Cheng Ling ordered him not to use the True Yuan Fruit for a short period of time. Two True Yuan Fruits allowed him to advance from the early stage of Nascent Soul to perfection in just two months. The speed was too fast. It is easy for the state to become unstable. If there is a slight deviation, it will fall and more tempering is needed.
Zhang Hu knew Cheng Ling's thoughts and had no complaints. Whenever he had the opportunity to fight the sword elf, he took the initiative to ask for a fight. Sometimes, he would also ask Cheng Ling to help knock down half of the sword elf's energy before going forward to fight.
In this way, his realm gradually stabilized, his true energy began to condense, and there was no longer the danger of his realm falling.
On this day, the three of them had just killed three wandering sword elves when Cheng Ling's consciousness swept over them. Now the area covered by his spiritual consciousness has reached forty miles with the improvement of his cultivation. With continuous use in the past few months, the resilience of his spiritual consciousness has become stronger.
Soon, he discovered that there seemed to be another True Essence Fruit Tree about thirty miles ahead. He said, "Take a rest. Another True Essence Fruit Tree was found ahead."
The two were overjoyed and hurriedly sat down cross-legged to restore their true energy.
One day later, all three of them returned to their peak condition, and Cheng Ling led the two of them towards the direction of the True Essence Fruit Tree.
Along the way, he was cautious and stopped looking for the lone sword elf. If he found one, he would avoid it for the time being. Combat training is important, but the treasure waits for no one!
After walking for an hour, the three finally arrived at the outskirts. Cheng Ling's consciousness swept forward, his face changed drastically, and he said, "No, the sword elves in front are more advanced, probably beyond the stage of becoming gods, and there are so many of them, there are a thousand of them!"
Their hearts trembled, and Xi Yan said, "Brother Ling, let's not go forward easily!"
"Wait a minute, let me see how the True Essence Fruit Tree is doing."
Just when he looked at it, his breathing quickened, and his eyes shone with a captivating light.
Zhang Hu asked in surprise: "Master, how is it? Is the True Essence Fruit Tree very big?"
"It's not the True Yuan Fruit!"
"Not the True Yuan Fruit? What is that?"
"It's the Kendo Fruit, haha. I didn't expect that the Kendo Fruit actually exists in this world. God has been so good to us!"
"Kendo Fruit, what is that?"
"The value of the Sword Art Fruit is immeasurable. Unlike the True Yuan Fruit, it cannot directly increase one's cultivation level. But its function is to increase the sword's perception and improve the swordsman's natural ability in swordsmanship."
"For example, it takes an ordinary monk one year to fully understand a sword technique, and ten years to successfully practice it. But if you take the sword fruit, your sword talent will increase, and the time consumed will be shortened ten times. !”
"And this kind of fruit has a time limit. Generally, it only lasts for one year. After that time period, the effect disappears. You can imagine how precious this kind of fruit is! One piece, two pieces, three pieces, .......! Oh my god, there are actually fifty-two!"
Xi Yan and Zhang Hu were completely shocked. They finally knew that Cheng Ling was
Why be so excited? As long as you are a swordsman, there is no reason to give up on such a fruit. Cultivation is essentially a competition with heaven, earth, and time.
One step faster, each step faster! If they could master swordsmanship and improve their talents in a very short time, the time saved would be dozens of times!
Many swordsmen often spend their time studying and practicing swordsmanship. They can completely skip this step, and it only takes a very short time to practice a sword skill to perfection, and the remaining time can be used to improve their cultivation and understand the artistic conception. The benefits of this are really great!
Xi Yan glanced at the densely packed sword elves in front of her and said, "But brother Ling, there are more than a thousand sword elves in front of us, and they are very strong. How can we get the sword spirit fruit? With our original killing method, it is estimated that it will take It will take several years to eliminate them all.”
Cheng Ling was silent, this was also a problem. Although the cultivation of the three of them improved quickly, they were still not completely sure when facing the sword elves above the gods, not to mention there were more than a thousand of them. But with so many Kendo Fruits, the temptation is too great.
He thought hard about how to lure these sword elves away from the kendo fruit tree. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on brute force to kill. Sword elves are not like monsters. As long as you put something they like, they will be attracted away. The only thing left is the formation, but the previous trapping formation is completely useless against the sword elves. .
After pondering for a long time, he said: "I want to try using a formation. Sword elves are energy bodies at best. As long as they consume their energy, they will definitely be able to kill them! I want to set up a killing formation to see if I can consume all their energy. .”
Just do whatever comes to mind. Cheng Ling told the two of them to stay where they were, while he slowly stepped forward, observing the surrounding directions and deducing the formation nodes.
Although there are many sword elves, the area they can occupy is not large. As long as a large yellow sand formation is carefully arranged on the periphery to continuously weaken their energy, it should be feasible in theory.
After deducing for a day, he concluded the 108 nodes and began to refine the formation pillars. Fortunately, I went on this trip to explore the secrets and prepared a lot of materials. If I couldn't keep them all, if I had to decipher the formation, the formation pillars of a thousand-mile yellow sand formation would be more than enough.
In order not to alarm the sword elves, he returned to the hiding place of Xi Yan and others, laid down a few hidden restrictions, sacrificed the meteor fire, and began to refine it.
After more than half a day, the formation pillars and formation flags were all refined. He followed the deduced node position and began to penetrate the formation pillar.
The thirty-six pillars in front were at the outermost edge. After being driven in one by one, the sword elf had no reaction. The thirty-six formation pillars in the middle were very close to them, less than five miles away.
Cheng Ling prayed secretly, hoping that the sword elf would not find out. He hid his figure and laid down more than a dozen sticks in a row. Just when he was about to continue, the spatial fluctuations caused by the formation still woke up the sword elf.
They looked in the direction of Cheng Ling at the same time, and saw a ray of light flashing under him from time to time, then disappearing into the ground in an instant.
Intuitively, they don't feel like a good thing. One of the sword elves let out a sharp cry, and dozens of sword elves on the periphery rushed over.
Cheng Ling secretly complained that the formation was only halfway set up, and there were still more than fifty formation pillars that had not been driven in. This was not the time to be entangled with the Sword Elf. He used his body skills and connected his hands to dodge the Sword Elf's attacks, and kept laying down formation pillars.
As a result, there was too much movement, and more and more sword elves were discovered.
Many people gathered around one by one. Cheng Ling could only lead them in circles. The number of sword elves behind him increased from a dozen to dozens, like the tail of a long dragon, hanging far behind.
Xi Yan and Zhang Hu's palms were sweating, but they didn't dare to move easily. Only Cheng Ling can use his body skills to deal with the sword elves. If the two of them are added, the mobility is greatly reduced and it is easy to be surrounded.
After a period of chasing, the sword elves behind him gradually widened the distance. Some who took the smart route followed closely behind him and struck out with their swords to block Cheng Ling's escape route.
There are about twenty sword elves listed in the middle section, and the ones at the back are the largest, with over a hundred.
"We must find a way to get rid of these extremely fast sword elves, otherwise we will be trapped in a tight siege if there is even the slightest obstacle!"
Cheng Ling secretly complained and continued to deal with them. The speed of knocking down the formation pillars with both hands slowed down. Many node positions were occupied by the sword elves. Only by leading them away from their positions could the formation be connected.
The difficulty of setting up the formation gradually increased, and more and more sword elves were alarmed. After ten days, Cheng Ling completed setting the thirty-six points in the middle section. At this moment, he quickly dodged away and fled towards the rear.
Under his guidance, Xi Yan and Zhang Hu had already left their original range. In the past ten days, my mental power and real energy have been consumed too much, so I can only avoid it first and gain a chance to breathe.
There were not many sword elves chasing after them, only a dozen or so that were good at speed, and the rest continued to surround the kendo tree like guards.
Cheng Ling led a dozen sword elves and made a large circle on the plain. Then he quickly got rid of the dozen sword elves and came to Xi Yan and Zhang Hu's hiding place. As soon as he entered, he staggered two steps and almost fell. fall.
The two people rushed forward to support him and asked at the same time: "Brother Ling (Master), are you okay?"
Cheng Ling gasped for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's really terrible. There are so many sword elves. They ran away and I almost lost my true energy. But if I keep going like this, my body skills will improve quickly enough. I can do it a few more times." Lift to perfection.”
Xi Yan spat: "Since when are you still talking about these gossips? You can't take such a big risk if you want to practice your body skills! Otherwise, we will wait here, wait for the master and the others to come over, and then we can work together to seize the kendo fruit?"
Cheng Ling shook his head and said, "No, we don't know where they are now. Besides, the sword fruit is about to mature. If we don't pick it, it will be even more difficult for those sword elves to get it."
"They are guarding under the Kendo tree, and it must be for the Kendo fruit. I don't know what will happen to those creatures after swallowing the Kendo fruit. In short, we can't give up easily. If a sword elf with intelligence is born, we will be doomed."
Xiyan said distressedly: "What should we do? We alone can't win the Kendo Fruit!"
Cheng Ling said: "Don't worry, I have laid down seventy-two formation pillars, and two-thirds of the formation is completed. As long as I find an opportunity and enter the last thirty-six pillars, I can easily eliminate them. I will restore my true form first." Yuanhe’s spiritual power, I hope those sword elves won’t destroy the formation pillars I laid!”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xi Yan and Zhang Hu knew that they could not persuade him, so they could only say helplessly: "Okay! Then you should recover quickly, and we will protect you!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I believe that if you can let me discover the Kendo Fruit, I will naturally have a chance to obtain it!"
