A ray of light streaked across the sky, as fast and bright as a shooting star.
On a flying magic boat, Zhang Xinkong stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, his expression gloomy and fierce.
When Zhang Xinli and his group got into trouble, he finally decided to take a trip to see if there was still a chance of saving them.
The soul bag is of great importance and is related to the survival of the Zhang family. He really cannot ignore it. Even if a Venerable in the Yin Shen Zhen Xue Realm does not have the corresponding method, he cannot think of opening the soul bag.
Zhang Xinkong felt that there was still a chance to remedy the situation, as long as he could get the soul bag back. At least he had to find out who had done it.
Although he didn't know what kind of danger Zhang Xinli and his men had encountered that led to their annihilation, he felt that in Hanyuan County, with his strength, no one could be his opponent.
The dry bones in Han Tielin's tomb are probably still not healed from their injuries. It can't be him. Even if it is him, he will just be killed completely.
Although the chief steward of the Ghost and God Department of Heiyuan County was also in the Yin God Realm, he received accurate information before he left that the chief steward was still in the Ghost and God Department.
There are still a few idle venerable masters in Hanyuan County, but he is not afraid of any of them.
Of course, Zhang Xinkong naturally also thought that it might be a master from another county who passed by here, bumped into Zhang Xinli and the others, and then killed them for some reason, but he also had a way.
He made this decision after considering all possibilities and thinking of a way out.
This trip is a must.
Zhang Xinkong didn't want to give up his family unless it was absolutely necessary.
It is not so easy to give up the family in which one has lived for decades, and if a person escapes, he will become a wandering cultivator.
By then, it will lose its value even among the barbarian tribes.
The barbarian tribe is willing to cooperate with the Zhang family, not because of Zhang Xinkong's strength, but the most important thing is the Zhang family's power, which can bring more benefits to the barbarian tribe.
It is not easy for a casual cultivator to kidnap humans.
"If I catch you, you dare to attack my Zhang family..."
The murderous intent in Zhang Xinkong's heart grew stronger.
Soon, the Sanxian Gorge came into sight.
Zhang Xinkong took out something and took a look at it, confirming that Zhang Xinli and others died here.
He did not get closer, but stopped at a long distance, which was the limit of his sensing distance.
If he senses a strong person whom he cannot deal with later, Zhang Xinkong will turn around and leave without staying or returning to Hanyuan County, and will simply abandon his family.
The distance between them was still far, and he had also obtained some good things from the barbarians. He was confident that he could still escape even if a second or third level True Blood cultivator was in front of him.
The main reason is that he is far away from Sanxian Gorge.
His mental power surged out, and he captured some traces of battle. It was indeed the battlefield left by the Manifestation of the Sage and Cleansing Marrow Realm, and there was no trace of higher-level power.
This made Zhang Xinkong frown. Wasn't it other venerables who did it?
At the same time, he also sensed a strange aura, which was demonic and also had a hint of dragon energy.
There are dragons here!
And some of those battlefield traces are indeed not something that humans could leave behind.
Soon he discovered the source of the dragon energy. A black dragon was lurking in a corner of the Sanxian Gorge. In front of it were some space devices and corpses.
The soul bag that he cared about the most was also on the list.
The black dragon closed its eyes, its breath a little weak, as if it was healing.
Its Qi is also ambiguous, making it difficult to judge the specific state. It seems to be a day-traveling state, and it also seems to be a saintly state.
Did this dragon attack Xinli and the others? After carefully sensing the Sanxian Gorge, Zhang Xinli found that there were no other creatures, so he relaxed a little.
It is obvious that this dragon is the murderer.
A dragon can kill all the people of the Zhang family. I am afraid that the blood of this dragon is extraordinary. But since it was also injured in such a battle, it means that it is not as good as the real blood realm! This is a situation that Zhang Xinli did not expect, but it must be said that this is also reasonable.
Who in Hanyuan County dared to attack Zhang Xinli? Even other venerables would give him a face.
Only a wild dragon like this, who came from nowhere, would dare to act recklessly, relying on its own powerful strength, not knowing who it can provoke and who it cannot provoke.
This black dragon is obviously an evil dragon that specializes in killing and arson, and it is destined to die.
He, Zhang Xinkong, will enforce justice on behalf of heaven today and get rid of this evil dragon! At the same time, the current situation is also the most favorable for him and the Zhang family.
There is still a chance!
As long as they kill this evil dragon, the Zhang family will only lose a few masters this time, but more important things will not be exposed.
The Zhang family can still stand in Hanyuan County and live freely.
After waiting quietly for a while and observing carefully, Zhang Xinkong was extremely cautious but still did not find any other living creatures.
"Oh."
Zhang Xinkong sneered, then flew his boat across the sky and moved closer.
An evil dragon that came from nowhere dared to kill people from my Zhang family.
Then pay with your life! As Zhang Xinkong approached, the black dragon suddenly opened its eyes and looked in this direction.
The next second, he immediately rolled up all the space props in front of him, flew away on the clouds, rushed out of the Three-Line Gorge, and fled in panic.
Zhang Xinkong sneered, still thinking about those treasures even when he was about to die.
It’s not surprising that the black dragon found him.
And the black dragon's actions further confirmed his guilty conscience.
The black dragon rushed out of the Sanxian Gorge, but Zhang Xinkong entered the Sanxian Gorge. He was very fast, and the distance between him and the dragon was closing rapidly.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion sounded, thunder cracked, flames surged, poisonous water surged, and the entire Three-Line Gorge began to collapse.
Destroy the world!
There was glowing dust falling, smoke and fog filling the sky and earth, accompanied by smoke and dust from landslides and cracks in the earth, and accompanied by horrific waves of destruction. It was silent and motionless, and it had already begun to take effect without anyone noticing.
Some of the strange items on Zhou Qing's body can be used to lock onto targets, but some of them are range-bound and do not distinguish between friend or foe.
But at this time, Zhang Xinkong was the only one in the range of the strange object! Three more beams of light shot up into the sky, and a layer of light curtain took shape instantly, covering the collapsing Sanxian Gorge.
The three spirits of dragon, phoenix and unicorn roared out, flying and galloping in the air, with magnificent power and divine might.
The power of the Three Spirits Formation at this time was far greater than any time Zhou Qing had used it before.
The sound of rocks collapsing and rolling, the sound of the earth tearing and wailing, the whole world was extremely noisy and chaotic, almost like a natural disaster! At this time, in the scene that seemed like a natural disaster, a shocking roar broke out, and the anger contained in it seemed to be enough to burn the sky.
"Despicable villain!"
This was Zhang Xinkong's voice. With his strength, he would not die in the attack just now, but this sudden change caught him off guard, making him in a state of disarray and even causing some major problems.
"Who is it? Who is plotting against me?! Come out now!"
A powerful aura swept over, suppressing all the smoke and flying rocks. Zhang Xinkong appeared above the ruins of Sanxian Gorge.
And in the sky, in a corner of the Three Spirits Town, there was a treasure that was shining brightly and was working.
Banning flying objects so that people cannot fly by themselves or with magical tools is a good way to cut off their retreat.
Looking at Zhang Xinkong again, his condition was not good. He even had bloodstains on his face, and his aura was much weaker than at the beginning.
He looked gloomy and full of anger, but there was also a hint of fear in his eyes.
He could clearly feel that for some unknown reason, his strength was inexplicably suppressed by about 40%.
Forty percent of his true energy was stagnant and could not be mobilized, as if it no longer belonged to him.
His physical body was also weak to a similar degree, as if all the energy and vitality had been drained away, as if he had been cursed with weakness. He even felt a sense of stagnation, as if there was a gap between himself and this physical body.
But how is this possible? This is his physical body, not one that was taken from someone else. As a true blood warrior, he doesn't have the ability to take over someone else's body.
And the 40% was just his strength that was inexplicably suppressed, and he was also injured by the devastating explosion just now.
Thunder, fire, poisonous water...
These methods are disgusting.
One of the beads in particular directly burst out with the power of a Yin God. The destructive force was extremely strong and was the main source of his injuries.
Fortunately, he was protected by the real inner armor, so the injury was slightly alleviated, but it still affected his ability to perform.
However, due to the inexplicable suppression of the seal, coupled with his injuries, the strength he can now exert is less than 60% of his peak period.
besides……
Zhang Xinkong looked at the light curtain in the sky, his aura rising again and again, becoming extremely violent.
He saw that this was the Yin Shen formation.
Good tactics, good preparations, they really took great pains to deal with me, and even found a dragon to confuse me! If the person who set up all this is a true blood warrior, then today he...
"Zhang family, we meet again."
A voice that Zhang Xinkong was extremely familiar with sounded.
"I said last time when we parted at Tianke Tower that we had a very pleasant conversation and I look forward to our next meeting."
Staring at the figure who walked into the formation from outside, Zhang Xinkong spoke word by word:
"It's you, Han Tie Lin!"
"That's right." Han Tielin smiled slightly, "Brother Zhang looks very surprised. Indeed, if it were me a few days ago, I would not have thought of this."
Zhang Xinkong caught a glimpse of several figures standing in the air outside the formation, continuously inputting power into the formation.
He knew these people, they were masters of the Han family.
"In order to deal with me, your Han family has really mobilized a large number of troops." Zhang Xinkong asked: "But this formation, and those despicable means against me, are not something that the Han family can possess. Who is supporting you behind the scenes?"
"Is it the Xuandu Temple disciple who came to the Han family a few days ago?"
"Master Han, Master Zhang is a smart man." Zhou Qing's voice sounded from outside the formation.
He was high in the air, looking down at the ruins of Sanxianxia with a cold expression.
"But I don't like smart people, and I don't like things that are not human even more."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Han Tielin restrained his smile and stared at Zhang Xinkong. With a bang, he disappeared from the spot. In an instant, he was next to Zhang Xinkong, slashing down with his knife with tremendous power.
The ruins of Sanxianxia were directly cut open, the rocks were shattered, and deep gullies appeared on the ground.
The power of the Three Spirits Formation was bestowed upon Han Tielin, while also falling upon Zhang Xinkong, suppressing him.
The three spirits of dragon, phoenix and unicorn let out a long roar, then swooped down and attacked Zhang Xinkong together with Han Tielin.
"boom!"
The roaring sound continued. The fight between these two True Blood Warriors was so fast that it was impossible to observe, and scars kept appearing on the ground.
Zhou Qing looked down quietly, and after a while, nodded slightly.
Han Tielin, there is no need for Chongtian Dan anymore.
The effect of the sealing dust was better than Zhou Qing had expected. With the addition of other rare items, Zhang Xinkong's strength was greatly reduced, and he was like a toothless tiger.
Now with the help of the Three Spirits Town, the strength of Han and Zhang has increased, while the other continues to decline, and the gap between them has become even bigger.
All these means are enough to make up for the gap between the Plain Blood Stage and the True Blood Stage. Zhang Xinkong's defeat is doomed.
Even if he had a means to escape, it would be of no avail. The Three Spirits Formation sealed off the heaven and earth. It would be nothing but a pipe dream to want to use any means to break out of the formation when facing Han Tielin.
Zhou Qing's preparations played a big role.
He learned from Han Shanshan that Zhang Xinkong was already at the first stage of True Blood Refining. He was confident that all his methods combined could barely deal with Zhang Xinkong, who was at the Original Blood Stage. There was naturally a reason for this, and it was not out of arrogance.
If he is given time to prepare and get ready, the strength he can display will be much stronger than if we encounter him suddenly.
There are many treasures on me, and being prepared and being unprepared are two different things.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xinkong’s breakthrough was unsuccessful, so he had to rely on the power of the Han family.
But this does not mean that the true blood is not strong after being refined, and the gap with the original blood period is not big. On the contrary, it is too strong and the gap is too big.
Zhang Xinkong was suppressed by those previous treasures, but Han Tielin still had to rely on the Yin Shen Formation to be violent. This shows how big the gap between each small realm is in the True Blood Realm.
This is also the reason why even if a peerless genius enters this realm, when facing other venerables, he can no longer fight against them at will like he did when he was below the True Blood level.
Only the most outstanding geniuses can still maintain the ability to fight above their level after entering this field, but the gap is also reduced a lot.
The six Han family saintly monks were activating the formation with all their might at this time. Unless a Yinshen Venerable was replaced as the main formation, this would most likely be the ultimate power of the Three Spirits Formation.
When Zhou Qing was sure that Han Tielin had the upper hand, he made some movements with his hands and whispered to himself, "Let me add fuel to the fire..."
A strange object flew out from between his eyebrows. It was a rectangular jade talisman as long as his middle finger. It was lustrous in color, with one side being purple and the other side being red.
The jade talisman exuded a terrifying aura that was extremely violent and powerful.
Zhou Qing's hands did not stop moving, the jade talisman suddenly disappeared, and appeared inside the formation the next second.
After a breath, the seal in Zhou Qing's hand was formed, and then a chaotic flame suddenly appeared out of thin air on the purple side of the jade talisman, directly poured into the jade talisman, and then rushed out from the red side.
"call!"
The chaotic flames transformed into a fire dragon, as if born from chaos, ancient and eternal, and rushed directly towards Zhang Xinkong.
As soon as this violent and almost destructive aura appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. Zhang Xinkong's face changed slightly, and he wanted to dodge, but was dragged by Han Tielin. The Chaos Fire Dragon roared and came, directly wrapping around him.
"ah!"
Zhang Xinkong cried out in pain, feeling his soul being burned and his mind was shaking.
But he was in the middle of a battle with Han Tielin, and this trance caused him to have a fatal flaw! "Chi!"
The sword light was like the Milky Way, splitting the darkness and filth and heading straight for Zhang Xinkong.
Zhou Qing watched this scene quietly, his hands making seals continuously, and then eight chaotic fire dragons appeared again in succession.
Nine dragons soared into the sky, howling to the sky and the earth! This is the third chapter of the Earth Fire Seal, the Hunyuan Earth Fire Seal!
When he was still in Zhongtian City, after absorbing the fusion of heavenly fire and the poisonous fire rewarded by the court, the strength of the Yin and Yang fires had already met the requirements for practicing the Hunyuan Fire Seal.
Later, he traveled from Tianzhou to Hanzhou, which took him a whole month.
With Zhou Qing's talent, if the hard conditions are met, one month is enough for him to cultivate the Hunyuan Fire Seal!
Of course, Zhou Qing is only in the late stage of Sun Tour now. Even if he cultivates the Hunyuan Fire, it is impossible for him to influence a True Blood Warrior, let alone hurt him.
This is the gap between two great realms, which cannot be made up by peerless Taoist magic.
But Zhou Qing still has something.
The magical instrument that grew on the third branch of the Erbao Miao Tree was the purple-red jade talisman that had just appeared.
He engraved the seal of heavenly thunder and earthly fire onto the jade talisman, making this Taoist magic one of the foundations of this magical weapon.
Then the jade talisman gained another ability, which could bless the Yin Fire, Yang Fire, and Hunyuan Fire released by Zhou Qing! It can be foreseen that in the future it can also bless the Heavenly Thunder he cultivated.
The purple-red jade talisman is a divine weapon that corresponds to the Yin God cultivator.
With the blessing of the divine weapon, the Hunyuan Fire cannot kill a Venerable, but it can undoubtedly cause a short-term impact on him, causing his soul to suffer and become dazed and distracted.
Nine Chaos Fire Dragons, already tainted with divine might! Zhou Qing's soul power was rapidly depleting, like a river bursting its banks, unable to be stopped, but he didn't care, constantly harassing Zhang Xinkong to create a better opportunity for Han Tielin.
As for letting the Purple Jade Talisman and the Heaven and Earth Haoran Sword personally participate in the battle to deal with Zhang Xinkong, this is impossible.
After all, an artifact is just an artifact. In front of a practitioner of the corresponding realm, it is still not good enough.
Even if it is a fairy weapon, if it is not blessed by a formation and there is no one to control it, it will not be able to cause any trouble when facing a fairyland master alone and will be easily suppressed.
Besides, even if the immortal weapon is in one’s own sect, it will be useless against the masters in the immortal realm.
Five hundred years ago, the Sui Emperor destroyed the Ancient God Palace alone and smashed the palace-guarding immortal artifact in the ancient palace's lair! Not to mention that Zhou Qing's was just a divine artifact. If he let his divine artifact directly participate in the battlefield, it would probably be broken by the time the battle was over.
The earth-shaking roars continued to sound, and under the continuous attack, the situation evolved as Zhou Qing had expected.
If Zhang Xinkong can still turn the tables in such a murderous situation, he must be a disciple of Xuan Du.
At a certain moment, Zhang Xinkong threw out an object, attacking the Three Spirits Formation in an attempt to escape.
The treasure he threw out was very impressive, but it ultimately failed to break the Yin God formation.
He kept trying to take out various things from the space ring, but unfortunately it was still unsuccessful.
In the end, Zhang Xinkong went crazy.
"If you want me to die, don't even think about it!"
Zhang Xinkong roared, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was covered with scars.
Then his energy began to become chaotic and violent, and his body actually began to swell.
He wants to self-destruct and destroy himself along with the others!
Nine Chaos Fire Dragons rushed towards him together. Han Tielin launched a powerful attack, then quickly retreated and began to defend.
"boom!"
The entire area where the Sanxian Gorge was located was razed to the ground, and a huge sinkhole appeared!
The sky of the Three Spirits Formation began to fluctuate like the surface of water, and then fine cracks appeared. Finally, it could not hold on and shattered directly.
The self-detonation of a True Blood cultivator was so terrifying that it directly broke the Yin God formation.
The violent force swept in all directions, directly destroying the area, and the sinkhole continued to spread.
The mountains were shaking and the earth was trembling, with a might that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
When the noise died down, eight figures emerged, including Zhou Qing and seven members of the Han family, all still alive.
However, Han Tielin’s condition was very bad. He had just recovered to his peak, but he couldn’t even last a day and now he was seriously injured again.
However, fortunately, this injury is a normal one and can be recovered slowly. It does not require specific elixirs like last time.
As for Zhou Qing and the others, the Three Spirits Formation blocked most of the power of self-destruction and bought them time, so they had room to hide and avoided death.
Looking towards the tiankeng, there was no trace of Zhang Xinkong. This master who had refined his true blood had lost his soul and not a single bone was left!
The ambush plan was a perfect success! Although he lost some treasures, Zhou Qing was very satisfied with the result.
The Han family master and I will work together to kill the True Blood First Refining Realm Venerable! (End of this chapter)
