"Ancient treasure?"
Lu Zhong looked at Shui Ni with a surprised expression.
According to what Shui Ni said, she found a stone palace in the outer palace area. Even though the stone palace was heavily restricted, it was difficult to suppress the light from the treasures in the palace. It was very likely that there were ancient treasures inside.
And there's more than one.
The so-called ancient treasure refers to the magic weapon used by witch cultivators.
Different from the magic weapons of immortal cultivation, the ancient treasures used by witch cultivators are famous for their power. The reason is that a large amount of rare spiritual materials are used during refining, so that they can simply and crudely crush the magic weapons of immortal cultivation.
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhong guessed Shui Ni's thoughts.
Shui Ni nodded lightly, waved his hand to condense the Water Mirror Technique, pointed at the stone hall, and chuckled: "Yes, it's what you thought. There is still some time before the inner hall is opened, so you can spend your time on it. On this. The ancient treasures are not like the magical treasures of immortals like us, which need to be sacrificed and refined. They only need to be refined to exert their full power."
For the two of them, if they can really get the ancient treasure.
Strength will be greatly enhanced.
Lu Zhong did not reply immediately, but thought for a while.
According to his usual style of doing things, he naturally doesn't want to cause trouble, but since it is a legendary ancient treasure, it doesn't mean he can't give it a try.
Right now, Lu Zhong is eager to improve his strength.
Obtaining ancient treasures is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Although there are many dangers in the outer hall of the Ten Thousand Witches Palace, with the cultivation of the two Nascent Souls, they do not pose much of a threat at all, so it is not a problem to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong agreed.
…
This is an extremely simple stone palace, located in a lotus-shaped mountain basin. It has an area of a hundred feet in diameter and is dark and gives people a serious feeling. It is surrounded by a flat square, with not a single weed within a thousand feet. There are only statues with strange postures and various images.
At this moment, two rainbow lights fell outside the square.
It's a man and a woman.
A young man in black clothes and black hair with an indifferent expression first looked at the statues, with a hint of surprise on his face, then moved his eyes to a stone tablet and whispered:
"Qingming Palace."
"I didn't expect that you actually understand witchcraft?" Shui Ni said with a chuckle.
"I did some research when I had nothing to do." Lu Zhongdan said, and then he looked at the stone hall in the center of the square. It was surrounded by many restrictions, but as Shui Ni said before, there was indeed a treasure light that could not be concealed. , indicating that there is most likely an ancient treasure inside.
The question now is, how to get the treasure?
As an array mage, he could see that the restrictions protecting the stone palace were connected to the statues in the square. If the statue is destroyed forcefully, it will cause unpredictable consequences.
There is a high probability that after the restriction is triggered, the ancient treasures in the stone palace will also be destroyed.
Lu Zhong reported the results of his observations.
Regarding this point, Shui Ni did have an answer.
She would point at the statues and create a water mirror, projecting the entire square. "From what I see, this square and the distribution of statues on the square seem to be the layout of a witch cultivator's war chess..."
Witch repair war chess.
It was a favorite pastime of witch cultivators before it became popular in ancient times.
Lu Zhong recalled it.
I found that it is somewhat similar to chess in the previous life. It can even be said that chess is a simplified version of Wu Xiu's war chess. The main difference between the two is that the rules are more complex and the number of chess pieces is larger.
At the same time, there are more than two chess players participating.
"The only trouble now is that we don't know the rules of Wuxiu chess." A bitter look appeared on Shui Ni's face. The most important thing in playing chess is knowing the rules.
But now, the two of them know nothing about it.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong smiled and said confidently:
"This is on me."
With the gray mist space, he could use the real memories to figure out the rules of the witch cultivator's war chess bit by bit.
Even directly simulating the victory is not impossible.
"Let me think for a while."
After saying this, Lu Zhong sat cross-legged on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Shui Ni didn't understand how he had the confidence to say this and was confident that he could solve the Qingming chess game, but he still smiled slightly and sat down cross-legged back to back.
Time passed little by little.
After three days and nights, Lu Zhong finally opened his eyes, with lingering fatigue on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. He has already found the solution to Qingming's chess game with the help of real memories. Next, he only needs to play chess step by step to get the ancient treasure.
But before that, Lu Zhong had other things to do.
The uninvited guests must be sent away first.
While he was simulating the solution to the chess game, he unexpectedly discovered that Qingding and Huoyaozi were quietly lurking behind a rock that looked like a giant turtle 2,371 feet away.
Although he didn't understand why the two people appeared here, this did not prevent Lu Zhongsheng from coming up with ideas.
He conveyed this discovery to Shui Ni.
"It seems that the purpose of Qingding and Huoyaozi is most likely to take advantage of you and me to sneak attack secretly, or to make our efforts in vain when the chess game is about to be solved." Shui Ni frowned. said.
No matter what the purpose was, it was not a good thing for her and Lu Zhong.
"I can only fight them once." Lu Zhong said with a calm face, "Whether it is Qingding or Huoyaozi, their strength has been lost and they are no longer in their prime. But you and me are... Almost unscathed. If possible... I want to keep Qingding!"
Hearing this, Shui Ni's eyes flashed with surprise. But soon, she nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will drag the living medicine. No matter what, I will not let her disturb you."
"Yeah." Lu Zhong nodded.
The next moment, both of them took action.
Shui Ni wielded a white jade moon sword, which was a rare sword-less style with a slender and smooth shape. After being used, it turned into a full moon. While exuding the cold moonlight, it quickly moved towards the Qingding and Huoyaozi. The hiding place, the rock shaped like a giant turtle, flew away.
Before the moon sword could strike, the dense mirror light had already overtaken him.
A random bombardment forced two figures out.
Qingding and Huo Yaozi looked at each other and found that they had hard-to-conceal expressions of shock on each other's faces, neither of them understood why they were exposed.
Seeing that the magic weapon attack was coming, they no longer dwelled on the matter.
Qingding spit out a small green sword.
This is his natal magic weapon - Qingding Sword.
While the whole body's magic power was surging, the small sword turned into a giant sword of about ten feet in the wind. The aura swayed and swayed out a large sword light. At the same time, the mirror light finally struck and collided with the sword light. They both melted like a pair of swords and turned into a sword. Spiritual energy returns to heaven and earth.
At this time, a bright full moon came with a trail of ice.
Seeing this, Qingding pointed his sword forward.
There was a loud "Peng" sound.
The spiritual energy was billowing like a stream, flying in all directions.
The result was a green shadow flying out.
The full moon was illusive for a few minutes, and was dimly visible to the naked eye. It still continued to rush forward without stopping, until the green snake transformed by the four hairpins flew away. Then all its power was exhausted, and then it turned back into the moon sword, and the floating light flickered for a while. After that, it fell back into Shui Ni's hands.
Catching each other in pairs, the four began to fight.
Just as planned before, Lu Zhong faced Qingding.
Qing Ding still didn't know that the person who plotted against him in the lava pool that day was Lu Zhong in front of him. If he knew it at this time, his face would probably turn into a "pork liver" look.
Without saying a word, he moved the Qingding Sword wildly.
The sword moves continued, and a mouthful of blood essence was sprayed out violently. Once soaked in the blood mist containing mana, the sword suddenly exploded with light, and a large sword shadow immediately erupted.
The green sword shadows gathered together, surging like a torrent, making very rhythmic movements. Each sword shadow exuded amazing sword energy. No matter what kind of rock it passed, it would turn into powder if it touched it.
That's not all, as the Qingding Sword Technique was pinched out.
The sword shadows in the sky are still dividing, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of swords are firing.
"Sword light differentiation?"
This is the magical power of swordsmanship.
Understanding Qing Ding's methods, Lu Zhong's expression did not change at all, his expression was still calm and calm. In one-on-one situations, he is not afraid of monks of the same level.
Shoot out a few sparks with a snap of your finger, releasing the Purple Nether Fire.
Then, he raised his left hand slightly.
A thunder marsh is released!
Amidst the thunder and fire, the incoming sword flow suddenly disappeared into nothing.
Qing Ding's face suddenly became serious. He knew the power of his sword light splitting move. Now used to deal with Lu Zhong, it was easily broken by him.
This far exceeded his expectations!
Before Qing Ding could think about it, Lu Zhong had already made a new move. Holding the Fire Crow Sword in his left hand, bursts of dazzling light erupted all over his body, instantly breaking out spider web patterns on the ground beneath his feet.
Shuo Xing escapes and flashes, just to bully the body.
Lu Zhong knew that Qingding was an out-and-out swordsman. Such monks usually had flexible movements and it was unrealistic to rely on magic to solve the problem.
Siluke
The best way is to deal with regrets closely.
"Qiang!" Sparks flew.
The spiritual energy surged and turned into a shock wave, causing rocks to shatter wherever it passed.
The Fire Crow Sword pressed against the Qingding Sword, and the Qingding felt the tremendous power coming from above. The solemn look on its face became even deeper, and a huge wave of waves arose in its heart.
Lu Zhong's strength is unreasonable and not what a new Nascent Soul should be like.
Fight for dozens of rounds in succession.
Don't look at it when the two of them fight, they look like mortal swordsmen fighting each other.
But in fact, the attacks of True Monarch Nascent Soul are extraordinary. Sometimes the light and shadow effects seem ordinary, not even as grand as the battles of Foundation Establishment monks. However, every sword energy and sword light are extremely solid, so they have quite astonishing power. With such power, it is not a problem to open mountains and seas.
Affected by the aftermath of the attack, the surrounding terrain was rapidly undergoing huge changes. Mountain peaks collapsed into piles of rubble, and rifts appeared on the ground.
Occasionally, sword energy would fly high into the sky, splitting open clouds miles away in an instant.
A Dan Jie monk passed by and saw the four figures fighting. All of them looked horrified. They had no idea of watching the battle and immediately retreated in the direction they came from.
I am afraid that if I retreat too slowly, I will be hit by the aftermath of the attack.
If the Danjie monk is really affected.
To say the least, he would end up seriously injured.
Lu Zhong, on his side, fought hundreds of swords with Qing Ding.
Just like what he had seen before, Qingding's left arm was still injured, and he was suffering a big loss in the fight at this moment. He was obviously a swordsman specializing in swordsmanship, but he was suppressed by Lu Zhong, a magician.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Qingding already had the idea of escape.
However, Lu Zhong relied on his escape skills and kept pursuing him fiercely without any intention of stopping. Every time he escaped a certain distance, he would be caught up by the former in a few flashes.
Qing Ding immediately understood that he was afraid that he would leave something behind today.
Either life or body.
So he felt fierce in his heart and blew out a breath of green energy towards the Qingding Sword. The flying sword was immediately covered with a layer of green flames, and the sword light he breathed seemed to be real.
"Baby Qi?" Lu Zhong looked serious.
For Nascent Soul modification, the transformation of Ying Qi is equivalent to cultivation. Because it can be transformed into extremely pure magic power, it has the effect of enhancing the power of magic weapons and is often used in life and death fights.
In other words, exhaling baby breath is equivalent to fighting for your life.
In this regard, it is naturally impossible for Lu Zhong to say that there is no pressure in his heart. Fortunately, he had dragon spirit flags to protect him, and there were five dragon spirit flags in total.
"Swish, swish, swish" five small dragons rushed out.
At the same time, he also used the method of transforming into a dragon.
Fine scales are spread all over the body, which can play a protective and buffering role. At least it can ensure that in the subsequent confrontation, there will be no damage to the internal organs or the cracking of the tiger's mouth due to the transmission of force.
"Clang!" There was a heavy impact.
Whether it is the Fire Crow Sword or the Qingding Sword.
They all let out bursts of whining.
Qing Ding's natal magic weapon was damaged, his face paled slightly, but he still activated his magic power and continued to swing his sword forward, slashing hard at Lu Zhong opposite him.
When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it doesn't matter what sword moves or techniques you use.
One sword, one sword...and another sword!
Every time the swords clashed, an astonishing shock wave of spiritual energy would be unleashed, turning into pillars of light and shooting straight into the sky.
For a time, the momentum was extremely huge.
During this process, Qing Ding became more and more shocked.
He found that even though both of them were injured during the fight, his strength was significantly weaker than Lu Zhong's. Although the latter's face was crimson, because every time they fought, the five small dragons were able to resolve it. The strength is strong, so the breath has not weakened much.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I will be defeated."
With this thought in his mind, Qingding ignored the risk of aggravating the injury and spurted out another mouthful of blood, causing the Qingding sword to shine brightly again, forcing Lu Zhong back with one strike.
Taking this opportunity, he touched his waist with his left hand and found a piece of golden talisman paper.
In the Nascent Soul period, every piece of talisman paper is hard-earned.
For example, this "A Yuan Tian Talisman" is made from the fur of a fifth-level monster beast, with a lot of effort of the Talisman Maker, and drawn with precious spiritual ink. Its value is no less than a fine magic weapon.
The preciousness of the Jia Yuan Tian Talisman lies in the trace of heaven and earth energy contained in it.
With the help of the vitality of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth can be aroused.
Qingding was originally reluctant to use it. After all, once such a trump card was used, it would be almost impossible to get it again without a great opportunity.
But now, in order to preserve his physical body, he could only endure the pain and activate it.
"Snapped"
Qingding did not hesitate to pop out the golden talisman, and touched the golden talisman with his finger, but he saw no shocking phenomenon. He saw the Jia Yuan Tian talisman flash, and a wisp of fresh air immediately flowed into his body.
The feeling is obviously different from that of Reiki.
It's just a tiny wisp, but it contains indescribable terrifying power.
This is the vitality of heaven and earth.
