"As long as magical powers are used in the right place, they can sometimes have unexpected effects."
After successfully sending the killer paper man away, Lu Zhong had such a feeling in his heart.
But he also understands.
The reason why he succeeded this time was just to bully the paper man's low intelligence. If he were a monk in the same situation, there would be no chance of success.
High in the sky, the aura roared like a tide.
The hairpin woman who was fighting with Wan Qing noticed what had happened underneath, and a hint of panic finally appeared on her calm and calm face.
She understands her own strength far better than others.
It can even be said that this battle depends entirely on the paper man.
As for himself, compared to the same level of Lianxu Perfection, although he is not at the same level, he is only slightly better.
Therefore, now, it will be difficult to defeat the opponent.
When she thought of this, the hairpin woman's face became as dark as water.
Opposite her, Wan Qing noticed this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lu took out the sword secret in his hand, and the messenger led the lightning needle into the sky, instantly turning into thousands of sword shadows.
In an instant, a sword dragon formed.
In terms of swordsmanship, his methods are not exquisite, but the advantage is that they are large in quantity. When used against enemies of the same level, he can still exert considerable power.
The next moment, a sword like a dragon pounced on the hairpin woman.
The latter's face was expressionless, and with a flash of sunlight in his palm, he took out a handful of colorful sauvignon and splashed it forward.
Puff puff!
A large number of sword shadows surged forward, with the power to destroy the heaven and the earth, but they were vulnerable to the colorful rosy pearls. They were instantly broken and disintegrated by the light of the rosy pearls.
"Five Sauvignon? Let's see how much you can bring!"
Lu Zhong chuckled lightly and kept pinching the sword skills in his hand.
On the other side, Wan Qing would not wait and took advantage of the sword shadow to attack the hairpin woman. Faced with the opportunity of Juenian Guo, he had no intention of holding back, and besides, he couldn't hold back at all.
The fallen fruit embryo must be filled with blood and soul.
Only in this way can it be condensed.
If you don't use this blood sacrifice method, you will have to spend a huge price to cultivate the prototype of the obtained fruit in order to obtain the Absolute Thought Fruit.
Crackling.
As a sword cultivator, Wan Qing's methods are naturally not as rough as Lu Zhong's.
A series of exquisite sword moves were used in his hands.
Unexpectedly, the hairpin woman smiled when she saw him.
"Compared to the sword style just now, your method is more gorgeous, but in my eyes... it's still a bit unsatisfactory!"
After saying that, she didn't dodge or evade, and pressed forward.
Rest!
A giant dragon with a condensed sword shadow attacked from below again.
The hairpin woman's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help but wonder, how could this person have such deep magical power? If it were her, she would have exhausted her mana just now. She would never be able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth at such a speed.
Gritting her teeth, she sprinkled out a handful of Wusaurus again.
As Lu Zhong said before, the amount of Wusaurus that the woman carried was extremely limited. As a magic-breaking spiritual item produced in Fangyou Holy Land, the output of Wusaurus was very small. In addition, there were many people involved in the distribution, so it fell to her. There are naturally very few spirit beads in his hands.
After using it twice in succession, nine out of ten have already been eliminated.
After destroying the sword dragon, the hairpin woman saw Lu Zhong underneath. Thousands of sword shadows were once again differentiated without showing any sign of weakness, which surprised her.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"The person who wants your life!"
Lu Zhong responded coldly, his soul moving to the extreme, transforming the absorbed energy of heaven and earth, and at the same time, he kept pinching the sword skills in his hand. Immediately, the light on the surface of the lightning rod flickered even more. Compared with the previous two times, both the number and the power of the sword shadow were faintly much stronger.
He had already decided in his heart that he would keep this girl.
"Hmph, you are so brazen!"
The woman with the hairpin in the air snorted coldly, fluttered her sleeves and forced Wan Qing away from her. She glanced at the two subordinates again and saw that they were also unable to deal with their opponents. She couldn't help but snorted in her heart, "Trash."
Immediately my mind started to come alive.
As far as the current situation is concerned, our side is obviously at a disadvantage.
The root of everything is the exile of the killing paper man.
Thinking of this, the woman was heartbroken.
With her status in Fang You Holy Land, it would be difficult to get a paper man to protect her.
"Keep the green hills here... I will allow you to be wild for now!" Thinking of this, the woman decided to save her life as the most important thing and spilled the remaining Wuxiuzhu.
Before Wan Qing could stop him, he turned into light and disappeared from the sky.
"You can run fast!"
Lu Zhong's eyes flickered and he gave up his plan to catch up.
Compared with revenge, the Jue Nian Fruit is obviously more important.
On the other side, seeing the hairpin woman abandoning him and running away, both Fang You monks panicked.
The two got into chaos and were quickly defeated and killed.
At this time, Lu Zhong noticed that after the death of the two Fang You monks, Old Man Kongmu and Hei Yuju both used restraints to imprison their blood and souls.
"Is this what they want?"
Lu Zhong remained silent and watched this scene quietly.
The two men were seen holding the body and quickly flew to the location of the light ball that fell to the ground.
There are three light groups, but there are only two corpses.
Those who knew the inside story had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter.
Not long after, two bloody corpses were thrown into the ball of light, and an incredible scene appeared. Following a whimpering sound, the light group began to condense towards the center, and turned into a fruit amidst the surging black energy.
This fruit is like black jade, with dense patterns on its surface. At first glance, it makes you dizzy, and it seems very similar to the description of the Jue Nian Fruit.
Judging from the expressions of Kongmu and others, it was obvious that there was no problem.
But in Lu Zhong's eyes, something felt wrong.
Just as he was thinking about it, Old Man Kongmu spoke first: "Fellow Taoists, now that the Jue Nian Fruit has appeared, from your perspective... how should these two Jue Nian Fruits be distributed?"
"In my opinion, there should be a Fellow Daoist Chen."
Hearing this, Lu Zhong sighed in his heart.
Are you starting to fall out now?
When Old Man Kongmu said this, he obviously wanted to express one point, that is, to gather the strength of three people to eliminate the existence that poses the greatest threat first. After all, as long as one more person dies, all three Jue Nian Fruits can be condensed into blood sacrifice.
Furthermore, the scene where Lu Zhong banished the paper man just now was witnessed by all the monks present.
Who can guarantee that he will not be the next one to be exiled?
Rather than retaining such a powerful enemy, it would be better to try to eliminate him first.
In response to this, the female cultivator Heiyu remained silent.
No objection is implicit agreement.
Lu Zhong originally thought that this cooperation would last longer.
But this is normal.
Combining because of interests, falling out because of interests.
It is undoubtedly a true portrayal of human nature.
"Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey? I, Wan, disdain this!" Wan Qing stood up at this time and directly made it clear that he wanted to stand on the same front as Lu Zhong.
The sudden change made the old man Kongmu and the female cultivator Heiyu stunned.
"go!"
Lu Zhong was never polite, so he immediately pointed his sword forward.
Rest, rest, rest!
The sword shadows were overwhelming, like a flood. Even if the legendary swordsmanship were unified with thousands of swords, in terms of the number of sword shadows alone, they would probably be far outnumbered.
Jam!
As soon as he handed over his hand, Old Man Kongmu's expression changed drastically.
What he entrusted was a jade-foot spiritual treasure, which was forged from azure jade. This jade has always been known for its sturdiness. After being transformed into a spiritual treasure, the power of the Azure Jade Ruler has reached a new level, and it is stronger than before.
But now, after just one face-to-face encounter, cracks appear.
"This strength!"
Immediately, Old Man Kongmu regretted it.
But it's not that he regrets what happened before, but that he regretted choosing the wrong target. If it were the other two, I'm afraid there would be no controversy now.
On the other side, Wan Qing made a horizontal slash, the sword wire was so sharp that it could even cause the situation to change. Heiyu, the female cultivator who was already injured, groaned in pain on the spot. As her blood spilled into the sky, another scar deep enough to show the bones was added to her body.
At this moment, the winner is obvious.
But right now!
"Fellow Daoist Black Feather, I'll hold them off for you! One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. Just get away and don't worry about me!"
Old Man Kongmu shouted loudly, and regardless of the empty door opening wide, he fired the azure jade ruler towards Wanqing.
The surprise came extremely suddenly.
Before Heiyu could react, the jade ruler arrived nearby, and then she suddenly woke up.
The target of this old man Kong Mu is clearly himself!
She secretly thought something bad.
But it was too late.
There was a muffled sound of "Puff", and he was immediately beaten into a ball of blood mist.
Almost immediately, the old man Kongmu shouted: "Two fellow Taoists, please stop. Since there are only three people left in the field, we can draw -!"
Before he could finish speaking, a pillar of thunder poured down.
After a mighty scream, Old Man Kongmu instantly turned into nothing, not even a trace of ashes left.
After dealing with this person, Lu Zhong raised his eyebrows.
If I move my hands, how can I let you live?
Wan Qing on the side couldn't help but twitched when he saw this scene, thinking that he was lucky to have made the right choice just now.
Otherwise, even if the three of them join forces, they may not be able to defeat this person.
"Fellow Taoist has great supernatural powers, Wan Qing admires him!"
"Haha, it's just a little trick of the wither insect." Lu Zhong was modest and turned his attention to Jue Nian Guo.
"By the way, does this Fruit of Absolute Thought require a blood sacrifice to take shape?"
"That's not true."
Seeing that Lu Zhong did not take action and wanted to swallow up all the Jue Nian Fruit, Wan Qing felt relieved and began to explain: "Blood sacrifice is just one of them, simple and convenient... Haha, everyone likes this kind of thing Way."
The one who dies is not you, and the dead will not object. In addition, there are no sequelae, so naturally no one will take shortcuts and go through the thorny road alone.
"Oh? Is there any other way?" Lu Zhong asked.
"Of course, fellow Taoist, do you want to do this? Oh, the other way is very simple, that is to pour it with a massive amount of Tianyuan. This way, you can also forcefully pour the fruit embryo into the Absolute Thought Fruit. But the price is... It’s really a bit bigger.”
Wan Qing said truthfully.
"I see......"
Lu Zhong murmured in his heart, and then said: "In this case, I wonder if you are willing to suffer a little. I am willing to use these two people's storage bags as a price in exchange for the Juenian Fruit Embryo?"
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are too polite!"
Wan Qing was sweating in his heart and did not dare to take advantage of the opponent. After repeatedly refusing, he only took one Juen Nian Fruit and hurriedly said goodbye.
Looking at the retreating figure, Lu Zhong couldn't help but touch his chin.
"Am I that terrible?"
"But...it's okay."
Then he gathered up the storage utensils of the old man Kongmu and the female cultivator, as well as the two previous cultivators Fang You.
Considering the need for cultivating the Jue Nian Fruit and the Heart-Burying Flower in the future, it is still necessary to collect these extravagant wealth.
After doing this, Lu Zhong turned his attention.
Looking at the Juenian Fruit suspended in the air and the shining fruit embryo next to it.
He thought about it carefully.
Finally decided to try to cultivate it.
No matter how you look at the Jue Nian Fruit in front of you, something is wrong. The secret patterns on its surface vaguely resemble the face of monk Fang You.
It gives people a bad feeling.
"That's all. It's not difficult for me to collect Tianyuan. It just takes a little more time. Compared with this effort, safety is the most important thing."
After putting them away carefully, Lu Zhong turned in a certain direction.
Next, it's time to deal with the enemy.
...
In the nameless mountain pass, a battle has just ended.
In the center of the messy scene, there lay a tattered corpse. It was clearly the woman Lu Zhong was looking for, a woman with a hairpin who came from Fangyou Holy Land.
But the one who killed her was not a human being.
It is an illusory shadow.
After dealing with the intruder, the shadow flickered and disappeared on the spot.
After a while, a ray of light fell from the sky.
Lu Zhong appeared, and when he saw the target's body on the ground, he couldn't help but be startled, but then his expression changed, and he turned around to block the sword from behind.
There was a huge muffled sound from Peng.
The force of the sneak attacker was so great that the ground nearly a hundred feet deep in the center of where Lu Zhong was standing sank, creating a huge spider web of cracks.
"Zi la!"
Purple thunder suddenly erupted, forcing the attacker away.
Only then did Lu Zhong see clearly what was attacking him just now.
"Revenant? No, it's not that simple... Even though its clothes are in tatters, it is clearly of the Dao Alliance standard. It should be said that it is a ghost cultivator."
Thinking of this, he became even more confused.
After the collapse of the Taoist Alliance, it stands to reason that even ghost cultivators will inevitably suffer disaster. But now the other party is still intact, as if he only paid the price of his mind.
Seeing the ghost cultivator attacking again, Lu Zhong's heart suddenly moved and he showed a token.
Almost immediately, the opponent's offensive stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a gloomy ghostly energy surged, completely covering the ghost cultivator. After the ghostly aura dissipated again, a male cultivator appeared in the place.
He has an ordinary appearance, the most common appearance of middle-aged people.
Compared with before, he was just pale now and looked like an ordinary person.
"Finally... finally here!"
"Comrade, since you are here to hand over the task, I will leave it to you to guard the place." The middle-aged man handed over a golden picture scroll without waiting for Lu Zhong to reply.
A scene that Lu Zhong didn't expect appeared.
The moment he handed over the golden picture scroll, the middle-aged man seemed to have put his mind to rest. A smile suddenly appeared on his dull face, and then his figure quickly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared with the wind.
Ah you!
Lu Zhong was confused and took the scroll into his hand.
