I saw Xu Guizi closing his eyes, and the emptiness of light flowing around him, sometimes dim, sometimes dazzling, and Dao Batian's heart also beat with the flickering of light.
At this moment, the ethereal light on Xu Guizi's body stopped, and Dao Batian's heart also skipped a beat. He couldn't help asking eagerly: "How are you, fellow Daoist Xu Guizi?"
Xu Guizi seemed to have not heard Dao Batian's cry. He kept his eyes tightly closed and remained motionless. This stumped Dao Batian. He immediately slapped his forehead and took off his shoes and pointed them under Xu Guizi's nose.
Xu Guizi immediately opened his eyes wide, coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood, shouting: "What the hell, it smells so bad..."
As he spoke, Xu Guizi squatted down and made a retching gesture. His face was pale and ugly.
Dao Batian looked on and couldn't help but want to laugh, but this happened because of him, so he couldn't laugh.
However, even if he didn't laugh, he would suffer for those Xutian Sect disciples. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, which was extremely frustrating. Some disciples couldn't help but secretly hid aside and laughed softly.
Dao Batian glared fiercely at the Xutian Sect disciples behind him, signaling them not to talk too much.
Immediately, Dao Batian got down and patted Xu Guizi's back gently and said: "Fellow Xu Guizi, you don't know, a monster appeared just now. It smelled so bad that I called you several times. I made a sound, signaling you to stay away, but you ignored me, so I had to use magic to repel it first and then pursue it. Unexpectedly, you woke up at this time, and the monster also ran away. It smelled so bad anyway, I was too lazy to do so. I'm chasing you, are you okay? Have you found the route?"
"Cough cough... Huh..." Xu Guizi coughed when he heard this, stood up, took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not clear, I think it's about the same, you follow me..."
"Eh? Nephew Tiandao, why are you lying on the ground?" Just as he was about to leave, Xu Guizi discovered that Yin Tiandao was actually lying on the ground holding his stomach, and the others also looked strange. Xu Guizi couldn't help but look cold. He glanced at Dao Batian thoughtfully and asked, "Master Batian, what's wrong with them?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Dao Batian's face darkened when he heard this, and he hurriedly kicked Yin Tiandao sideways and said, "Get up, it's time to fight."
"Ah? Where?" Yin Tiandao jumped up from the ground and looked around.
"You brat, cheer up. If you keep messing around, I won't strip you naked and throw you on the street." Dao Batian nodded with satisfaction when he saw this.
Seeing the strange looks of the two of them, Xu Guizi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Just when he was about to express his doubts, Dao Batian said directly: "Okay, we'd better quickly find the whereabouts of fellow Taoist Xu Lingzi. You Seeing that this forest of death is full of dangers, if Taoist Brother Xu Lingzi has any shortcomings, you and I can’t bear it, don’t you think so?”
Hearing this, Xu Guizi wondered how long it had taken. Dao Batian seemed to have changed. However, what Dao Batian said was quite right. The most important thing now was to find the sect master. As for the rest, he could only Let’s talk about it later.
Immediately he said: "Master Ba Tian is absolutely right, let's go this way."
With that said, Xu Guizi took the lead and ran towards the route in his memory. His figure flashed continuously and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Dao Batian was stunned and immediately said: "Fellow Taoist Xu Guizi, wait for us, hurry up, stop laughing behind you and follow us quickly."
With that said, Dao Batian waved his hand and rolled back, leading a group of Xutian Sect disciples to chase deep into the forest.
Fortunately, there was a mark left by the Xu Japanese, otherwise Dao Batian and others would have been blinded by the demon.
Soon, Xu Guizi appeared on a mound that was not too high, only less than two meters. He looked around, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"It's impossible. The effect of the Eye of Nothingness stops here. Why is there not a single monster?"
The light flickered, and a crashing sound was heard. Xu Guizi was suddenly startled and looked back, only to see Dao Batian and others arriving late.
"Good fellow, fellow Daoist Xu Guizi, are you being unjust and waiting for us?" Dao Batian raised his hand and patted Xu Guizi on the shoulder as soon as he came up.
"Shh... don't talk." Xu Guizi didn't care at all about Dao Batian's actions, but stretched out his finger to signal him to stop talking.
Dao Batian nodded in understanding when he saw this, and immediately turned back and said: "Everyone, please stop talking and be quiet."
"Master Ba Tian, you..." Hearing this, Xu Guizi suddenly slapped his forehead and pointed at Dao Ba Tian, speechless for a long time.
Dao Batian also realized the current situation and immediately said: "Why is there not a single monster here and it is so quiet?"
"Hey, I'm observing too, but it's a pity that your voice is too loud. Even if there are monsters here, they are probably hiding." Xu Guizi sighed and replied helplessly.
Regarding Dao Batian, he really couldn't understand how such a person could become the master of the Divine Sword Sect.
"That's right. Do you think all the monsters here are hiding and waiting for us?" Dao Batian blurted out after hearing this.
In his opinion, this place is really strange. There is no way that there is not a single monster in the huge forest of death, not even the sound of birds and insects chirping. This has to make people suspicious.
"Wait, Master Ba Tian, what did you just say? Could you please say it again?" Upon hearing this, Xu Guizi couldn't help but have a thought in his mind. Maybe he was really wrong. Dao Ba Tian can sit down among tens of thousands of people. The Lord is not without reason.
"I mean, will those monsters know that we are coming, deliberately hide and wait for us to appear, and then besiege us?"
As soon as Dao Batian finished speaking, Xu Guizi was affirmed, and the doubts in his heart were instantly solved.
But if the saber-toothed tiger were here, he would definitely stare at Dao Batian in surprise and ask him, how do you know what I am thinking?
Although the words are different, the meaning is similar.
"Batian Sect Master, in my opinion, this place must be where the monster clan gathers, and as you said, they should be hiding. Do you think we should surround them outside first and search for them one by one, or send people to defeat them one by one?" How about leading them out and then rushing up together?"
After clarifying the idea, the next step is to solve the problem, and the two of them are the only ones with high cultivation here, so the Xu Japanese can only discuss it with Dao Batian.
After all, Dao Batian is the master of a sect, and the things he considers must be overall, unlike those monks in the early stages of refining gods and those disciples who transform into voids, who think more one-sidedly.
Dao Batian's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he immediately said: "It is too troublesome to search in the periphery, and it will take a long time, and it will eventually be discovered by the demon clan. Why not take the lead in attacking, I will lead them out, and you will come out as soon as they come out." Lead people to break up their encirclement and outflank them, what do you think?"
"What? Are you going? How is this possible?" Hearing this, Xu Guizi pretended to stop him. In fact, just as he thought, he sent a person to lure out the demon. However, sending someone with a low level of cultivation did not work, and the one with the highest level of cultivation did not work. With just the two of them, he couldn't say it directly, so he discussed it with Dao Batian.
But he didn't expect that Dao Batian would say it directly. For a moment, Xu Guizi couldn't help but look at Dao Batian a few more times.
In his eyes, Dao Batian is nothing more than a reckless man, and even if he is the master of a sect, he is only a higher level of cultivation.
However, in the short period of contact, Dao Batian's entire image was almost turned upside down in front of him.
No wonder the sect leader often said that Dao Batian and his Shen Dao Sect were the most difficult people to deal with among the remaining seven sects except Mengji Pavilion and Xingyue Sect.
At first, he didn't believe it, but when he saw it today, he was completely shocked, and even had the idea of not wanting to be his enemy.
After all, this person is generous and generous. He may seem rude and reckless on the surface, but he is actually very thoughtful.
When Dao Batian heard this, he glanced at Xu Guizi and said solemnly: "You heard me right, I'm going."
"No, let me go. You have a high level of cultivation. Once I am surrounded, you can lead people to rescue me..."
"No need to say any more, I'm going to go..."
Xu Guizi was shocked when he heard this. He blocked it before. Maybe he was talking casually and politely, but this time he meant it sincerely.
However, before he could finish his words, Dao Batian interrupted him and jumped into the air.
Xu Guizi was startled and shouted: "Master Ba Tian, be careful!"
Dao Batian nodded when he heard the words, and landed on a big tree not far away, looking around with flickering eyes.
Indeed, there is not a single monster here, not even a small insect.
It is conceivable that if there is really an ambush here, it is enough to be sure that they are all masters. Otherwise, how could they avoid the blanket search of his spiritual consciousness?
To know. With the strength of his consciousness, even if this was a forest of death, it could still spread out more than ten meters away, but at this time, his consciousness found nothing.
"break!"
Dao Batian suddenly shouted loudly, raised his hand and let out a sword light. The sword light suddenly appeared, and it was undoubtedly like a meteor falling in the dark forest of death, hitting a giant tree not far away.
Just hearing a click, the towering tree that had grown for who knows how many years suddenly broke, and the huge trunk fell to the side.
Click!
That giant tree is so thick that even ten adults might not be able to hug it.
And even in the Forest of Death, such a huge tree cannot be seen everywhere, and it can be hugged by five adults everywhere.
Let me ask, if a big tree that ten adults can’t hug falls down, can those trees that five adults can hug not fall down?
In an instant, the ground shook, the mountains shook, and dust flew into the air. Taking advantage of this gap, Dao Batian jumped his feet, flew up and disappeared into the darkness.
He was waiting, believing that with such a big movement, even if those monsters were hiding nearby, and they were well hidden, they would be alarmed by the collapse of the giant tree.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As expected, not long after, Dao Batian heard a long running sound. Although there was a crackling sound caused by the collapse of a big tree, but at his level, as long as he concentrated on paying attention to one thing, he would not be disturbed by the outside world at all. .
He suddenly appeared at the place where the sound came from, and the long knife from his back suddenly unsheathed and thrust into the ground.
Suddenly he saw a small black snake more than one meter long stuck on the tip of the knife. However, the snake was not dead and actually tried to attack him.
Dao Batian was shocked, what a beast, and as he spoke, he reached out and pinched the little snake's neck, making the little snake no longer able to resist.
"Tell me, where are your accomplices?" Dao Batian tried to ask.
Obviously, this little snake poses no threat to him at all, and similarly, this snake is just a little snake that has just opened up its spiritual wisdom. Its strength is equivalent to that of a human monk in the foundation building stage, and it does not have the ability to spit at all. The ability of human speech.
Dao Batian threw the little snake away casually, but did not kill it, because it made no difference to him whether to kill such a little snake or not. Instead of killing it, it was better to let it help guide the way.
After throwing away the little snake, Dao Batian jumped up and disappeared into the darkness again, but his consciousness was always locked on the little snake.
Although snakes are cold-blooded animals, he believes that all things have animism, not to mention that snakes with spiritual wisdom are more spiritual. He believes that if this snake has a grateful heart, it will definitely help him find the gathering place of the demon clan. of.
At first, the little snake just looked around in fear, without any sign of leaving. It seemed to be suspicious, but it also seemed to be waiting.
I don't know how long it took, but Dao Batian gradually lost his patience and planned to leave.
But at this moment, the little snake suddenly moved and swooped away into the distance.
Dao Batian was shocked, good guy, if it had been anyone else, you would have really been deceived by you!
But his consciousness was suddenly thrown away, and the little snake disappeared. Dao Batian was stunned, could it be a formation?
As he spoke, Dao Batian swung the long sword in his hand and slashed forward, only to see a blade of light piercing the air and slashing hard towards the vacuum area ahead.
Boom!
The space shook, and the surrounding environment did not change at all, but Dao Batian could clearly feel that this place was different from before.
It was an extremely real feeling, as if the place he was originally in was fake and now it was the real space.
Xu Guizi also felt this subtle change, but Dao Batian hadn't signaled yet, the demon clan didn't show up, and he couldn't go out.
For a while, both sides were waiting, but Dao Batian didn't want to wait. After calculating the time, Ouyang Tianlong and others should be here.
By then, even if they fall into the encirclement of the demon clan, with Ouyang Tianlong outside to support them, the demon clan may not be their opponent.
Therefore, Dao Batian jumped up directly. In this dark forest of death, his figure flashed continuously, sometimes leaping into the sky and sometimes escaping to the ground.
This seemingly weird action looks like this to outsiders, but only Dao Batian knows that he is setting up a formation. There is a mysterious formation in the Shen Dao Sect, which only the sect master has always known.
Named the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Formation, the starting point of this formation is very high, but the requirements for those who set up the formation are also not low. First of all, those who are good at using the sword and understand the meaning of the sword.
Apart from the fact that only the sect master can perform such a request, the other requirements alone are enough to deter people.
Soon, the formation was completed. It seemed that Dao Batian was a little tired, but he did not stop, but raised his sword to ask the sky.
In an instant, thunder exploded one after another, and the sky filled with lightning. They were gradually attracted by his long knife. When he looked again, Dao Batian's whole body was shrouded in thunder and lightning, especially the long knife in his hand, which was even more tightly wrapped by thunder and lightning.
"Ah, once the domineering sword comes out, whoever competes with it will be judged by the destruction of the world, killing all living beings, beheading..." Feeling that the power of thunder and lightning on the sword is getting stronger and stronger, and the thunder and lightning he can withstand has reached the limit. .
Therefore, Dao Batian roared and swung his long sword suddenly. As he turned around, thunder and lightning flashed across the sky. The power of thunder and lightning had already formed an arc around him, with him as the center, and quickly moved towards him. Spreading around.
For a moment, the dark forest of death became like daylight under Dao Batian's divine sword and thunder formation.
Wherever the thunder and lightning pass, not a single blade of grass grows, and any trace of monsters or beasts is within sight, with nowhere to hide.
Swish, brush, brush...
Hearing several fast-moving sounds from not far away, Dao Batian took a closer look through the thunder light, with a relaxed expression on his face. Fortunately, the divine sword and thunder formation was not insulted.
It would be a huge shame if the monster was not lured out.
"It turned out to be two tiger beasts. No wonder my consciousness didn't detect them. It turned out that they were beyond the detection range of my consciousness."
After seeing clearly the appearance of the monster not far away, Dao Batian showed a smile on his lips.
It turned out that the hilltop they were on was indeed a gathering place for a group of monsters led by Saber-toothed Tiger. However, Saber-toothed Tiger was a suspicious beast, so he ordered the people to retreat fifty miles.
If the saber-toothed tiger was still here, I'm afraid Dao Batian's thunder and lightning just now would have killed half of his monsters.
Now discovered by Dao Batian, Sabre-toothed Tiger still did not order the monsters to take action. Instead, he sent two low-level monsters to draw Dao Batian into a real encirclement.
Judging from the power of the thunder and lightning just now, this person is extremely powerful. Unless he takes action, no one can defeat him. However, he is the commander-in-chief of an army. How can he take action?
Therefore, as long as Dao Batian is led to Xu Lingzi, Dao Batian will definitely put down his vigilance and rescue Xu Lingzi. At that time, he will give orders and all the monsters will attack him.
The saber-toothed tiger hid in the dark and quietly observed Dao Batian's movements. As expected, Dao Batian's figure flashed in front of the two tiger beasts.
Seeing Dao Batian's menacing approach, the two tiger beasts naturally did not dare to respond and immediately ran towards the depths of the forest.
Dao Batian did not attack, but just followed behind. However, at this moment, the figures of the two tiger beasts disappeared.
Dao Batian was startled, looked around, and saw Xu Lingzi tied to the tree. He couldn't help but want to laugh. Who would have thought that the leader of the Xutian Sect, who is one of the top ten sects in Qingzhou, would be tied here by a group of monsters. Woolen cloth?
"I'm talking about Xu Lingzi, you are also the master of a sect after all, a master in the truth-seeking stage, how did you end up like this?" Dao Batian pretended to question, and couldn't help laughing, not knowing at all what he was doing right now. How dangerous the situation is.
Xu Lingzi was not surprised that Dao Batian could come here, because he knew that sooner or later someone would come to save him.
