There is still some time before Linghu Chu visits Shushan, and it seems that he wants to choose a break in the schedule when the Shushan people are relatively free.
Shi Liuli was watching the game in the Baiyujing secret realm, while Luo Yan was practicing in the Yuqing Temple in Tianmu Mountain.
Now Luo Yan can use four trump cards, which are:
Huangting Kunwu Sword, as a regular attack.
Tiangong Treasure Bag, as a specialized attack.
Tianji Divine Shuttle, as a supplement to mobility.
The acquired five elements extinction divine light is used as a killer weapon.
Of course, the reason why the trump card is a trump card is that it should be avoided as much as possible.
What kind of ability is hidden to meet the standard of Luo Yan's hypocritical personality - just being able to enter the top 12 is enough. Luo Yan is not stupid, so how could he do such a stupid thing as fighting with his hands?
Therefore, he had secretly planned to use the Huangting Kunwu Sword and the Tiangong Treasure Bag as the main means of attack before entering the top twelve.
The former is because in this era, sword-wielding is really useful, just like the revolver in western cowboy movies, fast and accurate.
The latter is because as the symbol of the heir of Tiangong Workshop, almost the entire Yuqing Temple knows that the Tiangong Treasure Bag is in his hands, so there is no need to hide it.
Apart from these two, the acquired five elements great extinction divine light cannot be used before entering the top twelve.
According to the future history observed by Ling Yunpo, he won the first match against Guan Zhan, but lost the second match against Senior Sister An.
In other words, in the first match, he will crush Junior Brother Guan, thereby bringing out the power of the Five Elements Divine Light and achieving the effect of bringing fame to Yuqing Temple.
In the second match, he lost to An Zhisu, which must be because he was letting her win... In fact, with the abundance of Chen Guanshui's true energy, if he were to use the Five Elements Divine Light to surround and kill Senior Sister An, his chance of winning would be more than 80%.
Without a powerful enough magic weapon that could restrain the Five Elements Divine Light, Senior Sister An would be completely unable to fight back once she was hit by the Five Elements Divine Light.
But if it was "Luo Yan", considering that he was practicing the rubbish Qi-refining technique "Three Flowers Gathering Spirits" of Tiangong Workshop, the time his true energy could maintain the Five Elements Divine Light was too short, and it was basically impossible for him to trap Senior Sister An, who had integrated her body and sword and whose speed had soared.
As long as his true energy is "exhausted", Luo Yan can only use other means, and the difficulty of winning will be greatly increased.
It is impossible to use the Tianji Divine Shuttle. Even Elder Shiding did not know that he had already unlocked the first layer. It must be kept as a reserve trump card.
The Tiangong Treasure Bag is definitely the main force, and the various magic weapons in it can be used to resist the sword attacks of Senior Sister An.
But the problem is that both obtaining the magic weapon and activating it take time, and with Senior Sister An's sharp swordsmanship, it is unlikely that she will give herself this opportunity.
Since he couldn't display his sword skills that were far superior to Luo Yan's to buy time with Fei Yan and Han Lie, the only possibility left was...
Formation?
In today's world of cultivation, modern formations are often large and bloated, with every node, every stroke, and every rune standardized. The advantage of this is that it lowers the learning threshold and is easy to maintain, but the disadvantage is that the workload in the layout phase is extremely high, making it almost impossible to use in combat.
However, Luo Yan also learned ancient formations in Guixu Palace.
The ancient formation is small and compact, with all the nodes, lines and runes highly coupled with each other, like an exquisite and complex work of art.
The advantage is that it is small enough to be integrated on the formation tripod, but the disadvantage is that the learning threshold is ridiculously high, and once the formation master is not here, no one can take over the maintenance.
Of course, Luo Yan had no intention of setting up a formation for others, so the ancient formation was his best choice to resist An Zhisu.
Logically speaking, only the Jade Purity Monastery monks who lacked physical strength would think of using talismans, formations, and magic weapons to supplement their combat power. With Luo Yan's swordsmanship and Taoist skills... he could defeat the same level of people in seconds, so why would he need a formation?
All I can say is that the hypocritical character's style of playing that likes to "show weakness to the enemy" is completely opposite to being invincible, unyielding, mysterious, etc.
It took Luo Yan several days to finally design the "Thorn Hiding Array" and engrave it on the tripod.
When fighting, carry the tripod with you, and then throw the formation flags around, and the formation will take effect immediately.
As for this thorny hidden array, although it is not an ancient array known for its lethality, it is extremely suitable for dealing with Senior Sister An. Because in the terminology of the game, the effect of this array is called "rebound"...
All in all, with the help of this formation, I can probably ensure a 50-50 chance of winning against Senior Sister An.
Afterwards, we were defeated by a narrow margin, but that also made me famous. I don’t think the audience will blame me.
Just when Luo Yan was making careful calculations, he saw Shi Liuli had returned with Linghu Chu.
"Oh, Senior Sister." Seeing Shi Liuli push the door open, Luo Yan asked casually, "How was it? Did Senior Sister remember anything after meeting that Shushan cultivator?"
"No." Shi Liuli shook his head, "I was wrong. I have never seen him before."
"Really?" Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just felt that he looked a bit like you, my junior brother, so I mistakenly thought that I had seen him before." Shi Liuli continued, leaning over to look at the tripod he placed on the table.
Luo Yan: ???!!!!!!
No, how did you get back to the similarities between me and Ling Yunpo?
Then all my previous attempts to change the subject, to coax her...ah, no, to comfort her, weren't they all in vain?
"What is this tripod used for?" Shi Liuli picked up the tripod and looked at it from left to right. "What formation is engraved on it?"
Given her attainments in formations, it was normal that she couldn't tell what kind of formation it was.
Although Luo Yan was panicking at the moment, he pretended to be calm and thought quickly in his mind.
Of course, at this time, you can use the method of changing the subject and pass over the similarities between yourself and Ling Yunpo.
However, since Shi Liuli mentioned this matter twice, it shows that this matter has left an impression in her memory.
If I don't take the opportunity to solve it now, I won't be able to control it when she remembers it again.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan decided that he could not delay it until later. He had to dispel her doubts here, even if it was just a little bit!
"Sister, how are I similar to that Shushan monk?" He complained in a depressed tone, his eyes narrowed even more. "It is said that there are many reckless men in Shushan. Am I the image of a reckless man in your mind?"
"That's not the case." Shi Liuli waved his hand and said, "I can't really say where exactly, it's probably just that they give people a similar feeling."
Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just a feeling and could not be confirmed.
"If you think about it carefully, it's not such a coincidence." Shi Liuli said, resting his chin on his hand.
Luo Yan immediately became tense again.
"Could it be your long-lost brother or something like that?" Shi Liuli said with a grin.
What? It turns out you were joking with me.
Luo Yan smiled bitterly and said:
"Sister, please stop teasing me. I am the only child in my family. How can I have a long-lost brother?"
"Tell me more carefully." Shi Liuli suddenly said thoughtfully, "You all seem to look similar."
Luo Yan's smile froze instantly, and he began to curse Kunlun Mirror madly in his heart.
You broken mirror, where is the impeccable illusion you promised me?
"But his eyes are bigger than yours... If he is not a brother, it is so interesting that there is someone in the world who happens to look so similar to you." Shi Liuli laughed.
"Look." Kunlun Jing said quickly, "Although you look very similar, you have squinty eyes! Moreover, under the illusion of Jinghua Shuiyue, she will subconsciously treat you as two people."
"There's nothing wrong with my illusion!"
"I think we should just silence Miss Shi." Luo Yan thought seriously.
This kind of jumping back and forth scares me and is simply unbearable!
