Ji Yanran then cast a fire-attribute spell, and streams of spiritual fire surrounded Xun Kaishan's body and burned it to ashes.
After taking a short rest and waiting for the magic power in Ji Yanran's body to fully recover, they slowly moved towards the edge of the bloody swamp.
Lin Yan, Dugu Cheng, and Ji Yanran took a few steps up to the treetops and looked into the distance. Then they saw many monks in the distance. There were many more than when Lin Yan came in before. Some of them were pneumatic stage monks, and there were many alchemists. Qi period monk.
Among these people, the person with the highest cultivation level has reached the level of Qi Dynasty Ninth Level. This is the highest cultivation level among the Yinsha Sect monks Lin Yan has seen so far.
This is rare. Monks of this level usually stay in the sect for life and death and rarely come out. After all, for these monks, the most important thing is to break through to the foundation building stage. Only some monks who have no hope of foundation building , will go out walking and look for opportunities.
The monk looked to be in his sixties, older than Taoist Lu Zhan that Lin Yan had seen. He had gray hair and a long beard. He was wearing a gray robe and a bun, and he looked like an immortal.
"I have seen Chu Kui from the Yin Sha Sect several times, but I didn't expect him to come out." Ji Yanran was slightly surprised. This Chu Kui is a ruthless person from the Yin Sha Sect and a veteran pneumatic monk from the Yin Sha Sect. In this realm, After reaching the peak of cultivation, he is on the same level as Ji Yanran. However, Chu Kui's talent was so poor that it took him more than a hundred years to reach this level. There was no hope of a breakthrough. He might die of old age at this level and never be able to break through.
This kind of existence is very scary. I have been exploring this realm for many years, and my foundation is very strong. Both my spells and my spiritual consciousness have been cultivated to the extreme, and I have many trump cards.
Ji Yanran was not sure of defeating him. Although she was a talented disciple on the list of immortals and heroes, her future was limitless and she had a high chance of becoming a Taoist and setting foot on the Nascent Soul in the future. However, she was still young and did not have enough foundation in the realm of Qi Dynasty. Chu Kui was not confident enough in the fight.
"The remaining monks should not be underestimated." Lin Yan frowned. The people he fought with just now were all there, and their methods were all extraordinary. He used the Innate Dragon Locking Formation to barely block their attacks and entered the bloody swamp. If they fight head-on, they have no chance of winning.
The area around the Bloody Swamp was surrounded by people, two to three hundred of them, all monks.
"Senior Brother Chu, let's attack with force." A monk exuding the aura of the sixth level of Qi Dynasty said in a condensed voice. There was a roar coming from a very far away place. It was the masters of the two sects fighting each other, and there was a foundation-building period. Take action.
They need to capture Ji Yanran quickly. With a hostage in hand, they may be able to make Lingxiao Tianzong take advantage of it. After all, for a genius who can become a Taoist in the future, compared with the small world, there is no debate as to whose value is higher or lower. It depends on the problem. The angle is just different.
"The bloody swamp is scary. It will be dangerous to go in." Some people are also worried. It's not that they have never entered before, they have all been beaten back. In this area, the realm of monks has been reduced, they cannot use long-range magic weapons, and their spiritual consciousness can only be controlled by Suppressed a few feet away, a high-level monk has no obvious advantage. If he can master the terrain and use some special methods, he can defeat the weak and the strong.
The previous pursuits were caused by Ji Yanran and others using magic, and they were unable to get any closer. They had been in the Blood Swamp for a long time, and had adapted to the environment inside, giving them an advantage against foreign enemies.
"We have to rush, otherwise the people from Lingxiao Tianzong will find this place and we will have no way to attack." Chu Kui smoothed his long gray beard, his Taoist robe was hunting, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The people from Lingxiao Tianzong have already arrived and will find this place soon. After all, Guanshan is only so big. The monks know how to fly and can search quickly.
They finally decided to enter the bloody swamp and ordered all the pneumatic monks to enter the bloody swamp.
"Let's go!" Lin Yan frowned, shouted softly, and retreated with Dugu Cheng.
They are going to rush into the bloody swamp, which means they have to face a formidable enemy. There are only four of them, and they are not superior in realm strength. The only advantage is that they are more adaptable to the environment here and know the actual suppression of cultivation by the mysterious force field here. No matter how strong your ability is, you can use more practical means.
According to the force field rules here, under normal circumstances, when a monk enters here, his magic power will be suppressed and his realm will be directly reduced. There are about five small realms. If he crosses a large realm, it will be four small realms. Therefore, Ji Yanran, who was in the ninth level of Qi Dynasty, fell directly to the fourth level of Qi Dynasty. Xun Kaishan, who was in the second level of Qi Dynasty, fell to the eighth level of Qi Refining. Chen Qiaoyun and Wu Qing, who were in the first level of Qi Dynasty, fell to the eighth level of Qi Dynasty. Seventh level of Qi refining.
As for Lin Yan, he was originally at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Now, under the pressure of the force field here, he has been reduced to the first level of Qi Refining. The magic power in his body has almost stopped functioning and is very weak.
He can hardly use any spells, only his martial arts cultivation is left, and there are no restrictions here.
This is an advantage. Without the magic weapon and most of the magic power, even the monks of the Qi Dynasty Nine Heavens may not be Lin Yan's opponent. Of course, the premise is that they have no time to cast spells.
The power of the spell here has not been reduced. If he was hit by the spell of a third or fourth-level pneumatic monk, Lin Yan might not be able to withstand it and would be in big trouble.
"I'm going to set up a formation, you guys cover me." Lin Yan took out the remaining Yuanshi bombs and distributed them to Chen Qiaoyun and Wu Qing, giving half of the Yuanshi bombs in Dugu City to Ji Yanran, and then said.
To set up a formation, it was naturally too late to refine the formation materials now. He needed to set up some natural formations and use some mountains to fight the enemy.
When he came out just now, he checked the surroundings and felt that the nearby mountains were very strange, and there was an unknown evil force surging underneath. It was filled with extremely strong "potentials", which were not formed naturally, but were left by humans.
He wanted to use the "power" here to build a killing array and assist them in fighting the enemy.
"I need materials with the power of the Five Elements." Lin Yan said. He confiscated many monks' storage bags and collected a lot of materials, but it was not enough and he needed the support of Ji Yanran and the others.
Ji Yanran directly took out a storage bag and handed all the Five Elements materials in her storage bag to Lin Yan, saying, "Is that enough?" Lin Yan took it and swept his mind, and all the material information inside suddenly appeared. heart.
"That's enough." Lin Yan was almost shocked by the amount of materials in the storage bag. It was really rich. There were many kinds of materials with five elements attributes. There were four or five kinds of each attribute, and they were all extraordinary. If the object is placed in Wanbao Pavilion, it will cost at least several thousand spirit stones.
If such good materials were used to set up such a crude formation, Lin Yan felt that it would be a waste of resources, but there was no way. It was a special situation now, so we could only waste these things to set up the formation.
Lin Yan shuttled through the forest, looking for a good location, and buried treasures of various attributes underneath, forming a circle covering a radius of four to five miles.
"They are coming." Chen Qiaoyun and others were hibernating at the place arranged by Lin Yan, observing their surroundings and seeing movement not far away.
Lin Yan buried all the Five Elements treasures, and finally carved a symbol around each treasure left behind. The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth immediately began to flow, forming an invisible aura.
Ji Yanran frowned slightly, and indeed felt that the area where Lin Yan deployed the formation was unusual. It seemed that a mysterious force field had been generated, which was different from other areas.
"Is it really a formation?" Ji Yanran was shocked. Lin Yan really arranged the formation, and it was not an immortal formation. She could not detect that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was flowing here. It must be some other force.
She knew that the power of a warrior was different from that of a cultivator. Lin Yan had already shown her a lot of the power of a warrior. Now it seemed that this was indeed true. Lin Yan had really mastered the power of a warrior and had achieved something, no worse than a cultivator.
"Is it really the ancient martial arts that are reviving?" Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes flashed with a lot of thought.
There are unofficial records that in ancient times, there was a kind of person who called himself a warrior. He had extremely strong physical strength. He could smash mountains and cut off the flow of rivers with one punch. He was extremely powerful. However, due to some changes, the warrior inheritance disappeared. , only warriors who are no different from ordinary people in the mortal world are left. They live, grow old, get sick and die, lose their powerful strength and immortality, and eventually become ordinary.
Today's immortal cultivators still have some magical weapons passed down by ancient warriors. Although they have lost their effectiveness, precious samples have been preserved, proving that the warriors once achieved something and stood side by side with the immortal cultivators, instead of being the same warriors as they are now. It's just a method used by some sects to cultivate "acquired spiritual roots".
Lin Yan formed seals in the formation, communicated with the etched inscriptions, and controlled the surrounding heaven and earth force fields to hide his figure.
Someone was searching not far away. There were six people in total. They were monks from the sixth heaven. However, under the suppression of the bloody swamp, they only exuded the aura of the first heaven. They held the magic weapon in their hands, exuding mana fluctuations. , ready to fight at any time.
They stepped into the formation area and didn't notice anything strange. Then Lin Yan's figure appeared behind them. His figure was like lightning. He wanted to rush towards them. His sword energy was condensed into substance and he beheaded one person directly. Then he fired a burst of sword energy in his hand. Sweep, another person was cut off at the waist.
The remaining four people were shocked and hurriedly supported the mana shield. Then their eyebrows lit up, and the magic weapons in their hands activated each other. Rays of divine light flew towards Lin Yan, but Lin Yan's figure disappeared directly after the attack, as if Invisibility, completely invisible.
"Is this an invisibility technique?" Chen Qiaoyun and others watched the movement in the formation and were shocked when they saw this scene.
"No, this should be the effect of the formation." Ji Yanran is well-informed, and this cannot be an invisibility technique. The monk's invisibility is a basic spell, which causes extremely strong mana fluctuations when cast. For any cultivator, this mana fluctuation is like a bright light, so this invisibility is generally combined with some aura-concealing techniques. Used in conjunction, other than that, it can only deceive the eyes of mortals.
Lin Yan's "disappearance" move has no mana fluctuations at all. It is not like the invisibility technique plus the concealment method. Furthermore, Lin Yan's mana here is suppressed at the level of Qi refining, and the spell cannot be used at all. Without this strength, he can release spells.
"It's the formation that's covering it." Although she thought of this, Ji Yanran was still shocked. Lin Yan really set up the formation!
