"Senior Brother Qiu!"
Yuan Qing looked surprised, but he didn't expect that the Shangqing disciples were also waiting here. Seemingly they were still moving together. After pressing the sword light, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is Senior Brother Qiu here? Is it possible?"
Qiu Long just smiled and said nothing.
When Zhao Wen saw everyone gathered, he coughed and said, "This operation is a joint effort between Xuanyuan and Shangqing. The goal..."
Halfway through his words, a young man in gray clothes behind Qiu Long suddenly took a step forward, his aura surged, his big sleeves were windless, his sword intent was sharp, and his eyes were blazing.
Zhao Wen's face suddenly darkened, and he was about to have an attack, but he saw Qiu Long looking at him with a calm face, only snorted coldly, and then turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant mountains, as if he couldn't see but not clean.
The rest of the people looked confused and didn't know why. Wei Shan even took out the magic weapon directly, looking nervous.
Looking at Yuan Qing again, he didn't hesitate at all. He took the same step, the sword roared, and the sword intention soared into the sky.
The two of them stood quietly facing each other, their eyes slightly closed, as if they were drowsy, their bodies were filled with bright auras, their energy was intertwined, and their swords were clashing.
After a while, the wind picked up from the ground, and the young man in gray swayed and came back to his senses; Yuan Qing's whole body was shaken and he opened his eyes.
The young man took a deep breath, then pointed his sword in front of his chest and nodded slightly. The next three people took a step forward and followed suit, pointing their fingers together and saluting.
"Shangqing, Zhou Shilai,"
"Si Jinming,"
"Yu Fei,"
"Kang Xing,"
"I've met Senior Brother Yuan."
His expression was sincere, his manners were thoughtful, and he was quite solemn.
Yuan Qing couldn't help being stunned when he saw this. Just when he didn't know how to respond, he only heard Qiu Long say in a warm voice: "This is the greeting gift for my disciples of Shangqing. Junior Brother Yuan should return the gift in the same way."
Yuan Qing nodded when he heard this, then pointed his sword and bowed in return.
"Xuan Yuan Yuan Qing, I have met all the junior brothers."
The four of them then put down their etiquette, returned to their original positions, and stood with hands tied, their faces still showing the indifference of not caring about anything. They no longer paid attention to Yuan Qing, and didn't even look at the others.
When Yuan Qing saw the four of them acting like this, instead of feeling rude, he secretly praised them and felt very refreshed.
Although the rest of the people were full of questions, they didn't show it on their faces. Wei Shan, on the other hand, tugged on Zhu Ling'er's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Senior sister, is it over now? Is this a big battle just to say hello to Senior Brother Yuan? Also, what are they doing standing in the middle? Shen Nian Sound transmission?”
Zhu Ling'er glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I don't know either, maybe only sword cultivators will understand."
On the other side, Qiu Long glanced at Zhao Wen who was still looking away with his hands behind his hands. Seeing that he had no intention of turning around or caring, he turned around and said to everyone calmly: "This time, my superior found a beast. Inside the nest, there are four demonic beasts in the Core Formation stage and dozens of demonic beasts in the Foundation Establishment stage, all of which are of the snake genus. Because there are too many of them, they may not be able to annihilate them all, and because the rest of the sects all have missions, Xuanyuan is invited Please help. You don’t need to do anything, just set up the formation so that they cannot escape."
As soon as these words came out, everyone except the people from the Shangqing Dynasty changed their minds. Even Zhao Wen turned around with a solemn expression.
Wei Jizhu furrowed his brows and asked cautiously: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, ah no, senior brother Qiu, um, I wonder what realm these four pill-forming monster beasts are?"
"It's level seven." Qiu Long glanced at him and said casually.
After hearing this, Wei Jizhu's face became even more sad, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Qiu, don't be joking. There are only three monks in the Dan-formation stage among us, and only Senior Brother is in the later stage. Facing four seventh-level monsters, isn't that going to death? ? Besides, my realm is low and my means are mediocre. I can only protect myself at the limit. Once a fight breaks out, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter, the pill-forming demon beast has its own hatred and needs to be resolved by someone." Qiu Longyan knew what he meant and immediately spoke out, speaking calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Zhao Wen asked quietly at this time: "Fellow Daoist Qiu is saying that we Xuanyuan disciples only need to raid the formation outside and block one or two things, and all other matters will be handled by Shangqing disciples? Then seeing that the situation is not right, we will retreat first. I guess fellow Taoists have no objections?"
As soon as the words fell, the four Shangqing people had not done anything yet, but the Xuanyuan cultivators showed strange expressions on their faces, and Yuanqing even glared at them.
Zhao Wen turned a blind eye to this and looked at Qiu Long; the latter nodded and said lightly: "Not bad."
Zhao Wen looked playful, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, in that case, Zhao has nothing to say, so I will follow Brother Qiu's lead on this trip."
Wei Jizhu's sad face disappeared, and he smiled flatteringly and echoed: "Hey, with senior brother's words, I feel much more at ease, I can just do as I am told."
Seeing this, Qiu Long said nothing. He took out a jade tube and threw it to Zhao Wen. Then he walked straight out of the formation. With a thought in his mind, he turned into sword light and rose up from the ground, shining brightly like a shooting star and disappearing in a flash. .
The other four people were not slow in their movements, each wielding a sword and following closely behind.
Zhao Wen looked at the jade tube, passed the location to everyone, said lightly "Let's go" and started to follow, but his speed was mediocre. Together with Yuan Qing and others, he hung far behind the four Shangqing people.
The entire journey was speechless.
After several hours and thousands of miles, the group finally saw Qiu Long again. They saw him sitting on nothing, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was in meditation, and a small flaming red sword about a foot long was swimming around his body.
The flying sword entered his body. Qiu Long opened his eyes and stood up. He glanced at the person who came and said to Zhao Wen regardless of anything else: "Please also ask Fellow Daoist Zhao to lead Xuanyuan's disciples to set up the formation first."
Zhao Wen didn't say much and took the lead. The remaining people from the Shangqing Dynasty followed Qiu Long and fell into the forest, sitting quietly and waiting.
After a while, Zhou Shilai suddenly stood up and walked to Qiu Long. After giving a brief salute, he asked, "Senior Brother Qiu, I have something unclear."
Qiu Long had already expected this, and without moving or opening his eyes, he replied calmly: "Are you asking why you didn't keep Junior Brother Yuan?"
Zhou Shilai nodded and replied: "Yes, is it just because he is a disciple of Xuanyuan's sect?"
Qiu Long then opened his eyes and smiled mysteriously at Zhou Shilai: "That's not true. So what about Xuanyuan? I, the Sword Cultivator of the Qing Dynasty, have never taken it seriously. But if I don't let him be trapped outside the formation, how can I envy him? Is it so refreshing to draw a sword from within my formation?"
Zhou Shilai was startled when he heard this, and then blurted out: "When did senior brother get so many twists and turns?"
Qiu Long couldn't help laughing and scolding after hearing this: "What a twist, this is called strategy, what do you, a kid who doesn't practice sword formation, know?"
"Alas!" Zhou Shilai turned his back and sighed in a pretentious manner: "The dignified swordsman has used a stratagem. His heart is really old!"
After saying that, he immediately applied oil on his soles and walked far away without looking back.
Qiu Long put his hand down again, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
After another two or three hours, a burst of fire suddenly flew over and stopped in front of Qiu Long, and then Zhao Wen's cold voice came from it: "The formation is complete, waiting for you all."
The fire light dissipated and the sword light rose up, one in front and four behind, like meteors chasing the moon, piercing the sky without any cover, rushing straight towards the beast's nest.
After walking no more than ten miles, there was a loud hissing sound, and then the rocks shook. Four large fiery red snakes more than ten feet long rose into the sky, formed clouds of fire, and formed a coiled snake formation. They were waiting in a tight formation.
One of them has a bulging head, a beard under the chin, and a body of scales with faint red light, giving it a majestic and majestic look.
Below, more than twenty fire pythons of seven or eight feet in length emerged from the cave, carrying countless snakes and pythons of different sizes, and were swimming around. For a while, the snakes were dancing wildly, like a snake country on earth.
At the same time, a pale golden light curtain suddenly rose, covering a radius of more than ten miles, turning into a giant bowl and falling upside down.
The demon snakes obviously did not expect such a change, and were shocked and angry. The big bearded snake even whipped its tail on the light screen, but except for a few ripples, there was no change.
Zhao Wen appeared in the void, looking at the big snake in the formation with gleaming eyes, his greedy expression clearly visible, and murmured: "I didn't expect that there is a python that turns into a dragon. If you can take it as a spiritual pet, it will be a big help! But I can't , using this Snake Demon Pill as medicine can also increase your cultivation level by a hundred years out of thin air!"
Sensing something different in the spiritual energy on the other side, Qiu Long suddenly accelerated, and the distance of dozens of miles was reached in just a moment. When he saw the demon snake transformed into a dragon, his expression suddenly changed. His eyes were bright and he was full of fighting spirit, like a sharp sword unsheathed. Where could there be anything else? Half indifferent.
As if remembering something, his body paused slightly, his mind was released and then retracted, then he took a step forward, the light curtain swayed slightly, and he entered the formation.
Yuan Qing was trying his best to maintain the formation, when he suddenly felt his spiritual thoughts reaching his body, and then a faint male voice sounded in his head: "Junior brother, let's see, what is Shangqing Sword Cultivator?"
Yuan Qing suddenly raised his head and immediately flew up, abandoning the magic formation and ignoring it.
I saw Qiu Long standing alone, holding a sword in his hand and his big sleeves flying. There were four huge snakes in front of them, with sarcastic expressions and arrogant arrogance.
Then twelve flaming red swords came out of his body, and they rose up in the wind. With a slight tremor, they turned into nine. In an instant, one hundred and eight flaming red sword lights filled the sky of a hundred feet, like red clouds in the sky, but penetrated through the sky. There is a deep chill and awe-inspiring sword energy.
Seeing this, the demonic snakes put away their playful expressions, their bodies shone with red light, and each of them used their magical powers. Immediately, flying scales and sharp blades covered the sky, and fire rained and demonic flames covered the sun. Especially the dragon demon snake opened its mouth and spat out a column of dark red flames, which was actually liquid of fire, and poured it towards Qiu Long.
The sword technique in Qiu Long's hand changed, and the sword group was divided into four groups with thirty-six swords, and then gathered together in the middle, the aura was released!
Then there was a great earthquake, and four fire dragons appeared out of thin air, with a single horn on the head, two claws protruding from the belly, and red scales all in the shape of a sword.
The four dragons opened their mouths at the same time, and suddenly a strong wind blew up. Countless fine sword energy merged into a sharp sword wind and surged out. All the attacks were broken by one encounter and rolled back upwards.
The four snakes' vertical pupils flashed with ferocious light. They did not dodge or dodge, but directly used their powerful demonic bodies to break through the sword wind and rush towards Qiu Long. The sword wind hit the snake scales and splashed sparks, but it was difficult to penetrate.
Qiu Long snorted coldly, and his thoughts moved slightly. If the four dragons sensed it, they immediately pounced on him with teeth and claws.
When the two met, they made an earth-shattering muffled sound. They saw the snakes entangled, their claws tearing their mouths, and they were unable to do anything to each other for a moment. They were frozen in the void, and they could only scream and scream, and blood was flying.
But if you look closely, you will find that the other three snakes are okay, and the snake that turns into a dragon clearly has the upper hand. The fire dragon was only able to parry under its attack. After a while, its scales were broken and its corners were broken. It would not take long for it to be scattered by a blow and return to the sword's light.
Qiu Long took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, transformed into sword light, and threw himself directly into a fire dragon.
The fire dragon suddenly let out bursts of dragon roars, its power increased greatly, and two claws grew out of its belly. After a few encounters, it locked the demon snake tightly and pressed it under its body, unable to move.
The dragon's mouth opened wide, like a dragon breathing out, bright red light spurted out, and suddenly turned into a misty lightsaber, with a sword that pointed at the head!
The demon blood splashed, the sword dragon dissipated, the demon snake fell into the forest, Qiu Long appeared in mid-air, with a group of swords swimming around him, and a fist-sized pill pill on his right hand faintly glowed red.
Turning his palm to put it away, Qiu Long took a cold look at the dragon-turned-monster snake, and then followed the same pattern and killed the two demons again.
In just one stick of incense, there was only one person, one snake, and one hundred and eight brilliant sword lights left in the air.
Qiu Long was full of energy and his momentum was like a rainbow. He stretched out his hand and the swords suddenly merged into one, turning into a huge sword of more than ten feet, spanning the sky.
Then he began to sing softly, and his voice was loud and clear, spreading for ten miles.
"I haven't been able to see the true face of the dragon, so I'll use a dragon snake to sharpen my fairy sword for the time being!"
