During this year, in order not to arouse the suspicion of old ghost Murong, Lu Kun did not use it to practice when the spiritual root appeared. He only simulated the Yuanhuo Waterfall Fist in his mind.
The reason why it was a simulation was, on the one hand, because Old Ghost Murong was watching, and on the other hand, Lu Kun felt that with his current physical strength, if he punched this punch, his arm would probably be useless.
After such a long period of simulation, he could guarantee that this punch would be successfully executed on the day of his spiritual root. At other times, unless he breaks through the fifth level immediately, he would not be sure at all. If old ghost Murong takes action when his spiritual root appears, they will Only then can you have the best chance of winning.
The four of them, Guo Botao, successfully broke through to the third level in the ninth month. After continuing to practice, Ouyang Yiyun discovered that his bones were different from ordinary people. It only took two months to break through the third level of bone refining and reach He reached the fourth level and became the person with the highest cultivation level among the four.
A few people were overjoyed and asked Ouyang Yiyun to major in the "Sky Fire" move. The other three people concentrated on condensing the strongest Yuanbao energy and drove it into Ouyang Yiyun's body. Then Ouyang Yiyun and Lu Kun Use explosive steps at the same time.
Lu Kun would first use Yuanhuo Waterfall Fierce Fist, and Ouyang Yiyun would use the most powerful energy of the four of them. After Lu Kun made the move, he would hit Murong Gui's head, and then pierce the snake venom dagger with his other hand. Its body, that's their plan.
Lu Kun and the others had discussed that since old ghost Murong needed their blood essence and had never practiced the Diamond Art, it meant that his physical body was fragile and not as good as theirs.
As long as it is caught off guard, Yuanbao Qi Jin can kill it. Even if there are some defensive methods, the Yuanhuo Waterfall Fist, which is also close to the immortal method, should be able to break it.
Then Ouyang Yiyun and the others could easily break the old ghost's head with one punch, and with the addition of the poisonous snake dagger, they were completely safe.
…
The day before the one-year period came, Lu Kun felt the spiritual consciousness of old ghost Murong and said to Guo Botao and the others: "I am about to break through to the fourth level. I will be able to break through in seclusion for another five days. If the Patriarch comes tomorrow, I will be able to break through." Please trouble him to wait a few more days."
"Okay, Senior Brother Lu!" The expressions of Guo Botao and the others were calm, as if everything was normal.
Lu Kun and several others walked into their respective stone houses and began to practice. Only the spiritual consciousness of old ghost Murong was still observing them.
On the second day, the formation in the small courtyard was opened, and Patriarch Murong staggered in, as if he was about to collapse in the next moment.
Guo Botao saw him for the first time and immediately said respectfully: "Welcome to Patriarch Murong!"
"Welcome to Patriarch Murong!" The other three people also stood up and saluted Patriarch Murong.
Patriarch Murong ignored these four people and stared closely at Lu Kun's stone house with a smile on his lips.
Seeing Patriarch Murong's expression, Guo Botao felt a little uneasy and stepped forward and said, "Grandmaster Qi, Senior Brother Lu can break through to the fifth level in four days. Please wait a few days."
Patriarch Murong chuckled, and the old hoarse voice came: "Do you want me to wait until a few days later to be plotted by you?"
This sentence made Guo Botao, the four of them and Lu Kun, who was pretending to practice, feel like a bolt from the blue.
While Patriarch Murong said this, a light flashed in his hand, and he saw Lu Kun's stone house turning from stone to mud and buried like ice turning into water.
When Lu Kun heard the old ghost's words, he became vigilant. His reaction was not slow, and he used explosive steps to dodge out from the gap in the roof. However, the spell was formed faster, and the muddy water fixed Lu Kun's part below the knees.
The stone house had turned into a cone-shaped rock. Lu Kun's knees were on the top of the rock, with a yellow halo flowing on it. Even with his brute strength, he could not break free.
When Patriarch Murong was casting a spell on Lu Kun, the four of them, Guo Botao, had already changed their positions. Guo Botao, Cao Yunqi, and Zhang Tianbiao were standing behind Ouyang Yiyun, with three pairs of palms pressed against Ouyang Yiyun's back.
Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Yiyun disappeared, and appeared next to Patriarch Murong like lightning. A powerful Yuanbao energy hit his head with his right hand, and at the same time, a small dagger appeared in his left hand.
This is the combination of moves that the "Four King Kongs" have developed over the past year.
Seeing the movements of these people, Patriarch Murong slapped a yellow talisman on his body, and a yellow shield enveloped his old body.
The shield was only slightly dented inward, and then returned to its original shape. The rebound force bounced Ouyang Yiyun away. The khaki shield, with its halo flowing around, was as thick as the earth.
While Ouyang Yiyun was being ejected, Guo Botao and the other three also rushed to Old Ghost Murong and used their remaining Yuan Blast energy to attack the yellow shield.
Ouyang Yiyun, who was then bounced away, also came over to continue the attack. The shield became a little dim, but an earthy yellow light appeared from the hands of Murong Ancestor and replenished the shield.
The shield immediately returned to its original state, and the four of them were ejected by the re-strengthened shield and hit the stone houses. These stone houses quickly turned into mud and water, trapping them all.
"Tsk, tsk, they all have good talents. If I were unprepared and were attacked by you, I might be injured. It's a pity that you lost from the beginning."
Ancestor Murong looked at the restrained people with a calm expression, as if everything was under his control.
Lu Kun thought that a few of them had been planning carefully for this day for a year, but they were all caught in the blink of an eye. His face was full of bitterness, and he said unwillingly: "How could you know our plan? We thought we did it without leaving any trace!"
"Lu Kun, you did everything right. You relied on the spiritual sense of the fifth level of the original version of the Diamond Art to avoid the prying eyes of my spiritual consciousness. Little did you know that in addition to detecting you, my spiritual consciousness can also detect the spiritual stones in your stone house array. "
"Half a year ago, your spiritual stone and spiritual energy consumption was a little slow, so I became suspicious, so I asked Xiao Zhuzi to sneak in."
I saw old ghost Murong make a move, and a bamboo shoot next to some bamboos in the corner of the small courtyard slowly turned into a fat mouse.
"The Bamboo Rat and I have the same mind, and I know that you have obtained the real Vajra Art at some point, and have cultivated it to the fifth level."
"The array in the courtyard blocks the line of sight inside and outside. If I hadn't hidden the bamboo rats in, I really wouldn't have been able to monitor your little movements. In the next few months, you will practice the art of summing up and discuss ways to deal with me, and I will know everything. Just watch you play!"
Lu Kun pointed at Guo Botao and the other four, and said: "Okay! As expected of an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. I, Lu Kun, can't defeat you. But based on my speculation, you should only need practitioners who have mastered marrow refining. Why do you still treat them like this?" Called over?"
"It's unlucky for these people. When I went out, I fought with others and lost my longevity. I have to use their flesh and blood to temporarily replenish my energy and blood."
While speaking, Old Ghost Murong put his hands together, and the rocks surrounding Guo Botao, Zhang Tianbiao, and Cao Yunqi began to merge, trapping the three of them in a huge stone ball.
"I didn't expect that this mortal has reached the fourth level of cultivation, and his blood essence is also of some use. Not bad, not bad, haha!" After carefully observing Ouyang Yiyun, who was the first to take action, Old Ghost Murong laughed wildly.
