"The situation is a bit more complicated than expected, I'm counting on you all."
Seeing the Netherworld Orchid right in front of her, Chen Xue was overjoyed and excited. As long as she obtained the Netherworld Orchid, she would not only have a spot for a Yin-Yang Golden Core, but also enjoy the highest level of family support and cultivation for all her cultivation needs up to the Purple Mansion stage.
However, upon seeing the three purple scorpion demons, she couldn't help but frown; the situation was somewhat unexpected.
Moreover, purple scorpion demons began to appear in the surrounding passages. Although there were few of them at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, there were still a few. In addition, there were nearly twenty mid-to-late stage purple scorpion demons, plus these three purple scorpion kings...
The situation is rather worrying!
Fortunately, they had prepared for this and specially invited Wei Maoxue, a master of formations, to help them!
As long as we can hold out until the formation is established, then we can wait for her to activate the talisman and secure victory!
Therefore, faced with this situation, Chen Xue did not retreat immediately, but instead used her spirit sword to attack.
Although Chen Shaorong had consumed too much energy activating the talisman earlier, his magical power was not depleted. He simply swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill to refine it and recovered some of his power. He still had the strength to fight.
The Chen siblings then joined forces to suppress the three-headed purple scorpion king.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuyuan and the three women in official attire surnamed Liu attacked the purple scorpion demons that emerged from the passage from all sides, suppressing their advance.
Therefore, he protected Wei Maoxue in setting up the formation.
Clear division of labor.
But at this moment, even with their full strength, the two powerful figures, Chen Xue and Chen Shaorong, were unable to suppress the three-headed purple scorpion king!
Two spiritual swords slashed down, incredibly agile under the powerful control of divine sense, directly bypassing the pair of pincers and striking the head of a purple scorpion king together. However, with two loud "thumps," they left only shallow white marks and failed to inflict any wound...
This caused Chen Xue and the other person's expressions to change instantly.
It seems that although the three purple scorpion kings were unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage due to the limitations of the environment, their fundamental demonic bodies had mutated under the long-term nourishment of the "Netherworld Orchid's" poisonous gas, and had even touched upon the power of the Foundation Establishment stage!
"These Purple Scorpion Kings are too powerful, Fellow Daoist Lin. We'll have to trouble you a bit more. Could you use your talisman power to help us hold off these three Purple Scorpion Kings?"
Chen Xue couldn't help but say in a deep voice.
Lin Xiuyuan frowned. To be honest, he had already completed his mission. As agreed, he was to use talismans to protect the team all the way to the final destination, which consumed more than a hundred top-tier talismans and more than two hundred high-tier and mid-tier talismans.
It can be said that the task was completed perfectly.
Now there are only about thirty left, barely enough for self-defense. If they are used up again, the safety will be greatly reduced.
However, seeing that he was about to seize the opportunity and lay the foundation for a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to take out another stack of talismans.
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at Chen Shaorong's back, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he decided to keep a backup plan, so he quietly activated the White Feather Needle and attached several talismans.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, no one noticed Lin Xiuyuan's actions.
As Lin Xiuyuan threw out seven or eight high-level earth magic talismans and top-level water magic talismans, forming an earth wall and water snakes that coiled upwards, the pressure on Chen Xue and the other person was immediately relieved.
As for the wooden talismans, Lin Xiuyuan had used too many along the way and didn't have many left. He kept them for self-defense and didn't want to use them.
However, throwing out seven or eight top-tier and high-tier talismans at once did have a significant effect.
Chen Xue and the other woman then fought back with all their might, each using their own methods and talismans to temporarily suppress the three-headed purple scorpion king.
Seeing this, Chen Xue couldn't help but say, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Lin. I will definitely present you with a generous gift after the matter is resolved!"
Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, and then focused on controlling his sword and activating a large number of mid- and low-level talismans, working with the old man surnamed Wei and the woman in palace attire surnamed Liu to suppress the purple scorpion demons around them.
Although these purple scorpion demons were powerful, only two or three of them were at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, while the rest were at the mid-to-late stage.
Therefore, although the number appears large, it is not a problem. Moreover, the three are not ordinary cultivators; the other two are both at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and are even stronger experts in this realm.
Lin Xiuyuan was also willing to throw out a large number of low- to mid-level talismans to firmly suppress the purple scorpion demons around him.
This allowed Wei Maoxue to concentrate on and smoothly set up the array flags. With most of the array already completed, the victory was almost assured once the array was fully formed.
However.
At that very moment.
But an unexpected turn of events occurred!
With Lin Xiuyuan's talisman, Chen Xue and the other person were able to suppress the three purple scorpion kings, but their intelligence seemed to be quite high, as if they had seen through their purpose.
At this moment, the three-headed purple scorpion king became agitated, emitting bursts of purple light around its body. Its power suddenly surged, breaking through the power of the talismans and causing the surrounding sword lights to shatter one after another, losing their sword momentum.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xue and Chen Shaorong's expressions changed drastically. The three-headed purple scorpion king was about to break through the numerous obstacles and approach them.
If that happens, he will definitely not be a match for the Three-Headed Purple Scorpion King in close combat!
Once they dodge it, the consequences are predictable...
Chen Xue gritted her teeth and quickly took out a magic shield!
"rise!"
Chen Xue made a hand seal with one hand, clearly using some kind of secret technique. Her aura suddenly surged, seemingly exceeding the scope of the Qi Refining stage.
He directly and forcibly activated the magical artifact!
Just like Wu Chengfeng back then.
