On the ground, it accumulated into a low puddle, which was green and clear, with wisps of smoke lingering around it, attracting a lot of attention.

"This is……"

The Tenth Squad's eyes fell on the puddle, and various spiritual fluids emerged in their minds for comparison.

"Spiritual fluid."

Chen Sheng understood the reason why there were so many mountain spirits. The spiritual marrow liquid could open up the intelligence of mountain spirits and monsters, and long-term consumption could strengthen their physique.

Now, it's their turn.

The spiritual marrow fluid here is estimated to weigh several dozen kilograms, which is enough to double the physical strength of the entire tenth team.

"roar"

Outside the cave, the mountains of corpses could not scare the rock spirits. They were like crazy, wanting to rush in and smash their enemies to pieces.

The spiritual marrow fluid inside is their lifeline and must not be taken away by outsiders.

"Empty it."

Chen Sheng waved his hand, and Qi Liu took out a jade bottle and took away all the spiritual essence liquid, even the precipitated fine crystals, which he took off bit by bit and put into the bottle.

The whole process was quick, but ten corpses had already fallen at the entrance of the cave. The monks from the tenth team were stationed at the gate, blocking the rock spirits outside.

After taking the spiritual essence liquid, they withdrew immediately. Some rock spirits rushed into the cave to check, and then there was a roar, and then all the rock spirits rioted and rushed towards Chen Sheng and others.

The stone spears were like a forest, shaking the void when they were waved. The power bursting out of the body was enough to break the spine of a dragon, which was extremely violent.

The monks of the tenth team, holding black swords, gathered together, not daring to disperse. Like a hedgehog, they tore open a hole and retreated.

“It’s too restrictive.”

Qi Liu swung his sword, the sword light was fierce and without any power. It was really that the opponent was too difficult to deal with, and he would not be able to defeat him without exerting all his strength.

He had already swallowed two pills in a while, and the magic power absorbed and refined by the surrounding void was not enough, so he had to seek replenishment elsewhere.

“This trip was really thrilling.”

Xiaomang always pays attention to the amount of magic power stored in his dantian. Fortunately, he has elixirs to replenish it and can hold on. According to the current intensity, he should be able to rush out safely. It's really luck.

"Follow me..."

Outside, Zhao Da and the other three Dark Blade monks had turned back. His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he saw the situation clearly. The condition of the Tenth Team was not very good, probably because they were limited by their magic power.

At this time, there should be a force that can break through the back, lead out a retreat, and allow everyone to exit safely.

He waved his hand and was about to charge, but was interrupted by a loud noise.

"boom"

A mountain next to the cave collapsed with a loud bang, and a fierce aura rushed up like a beacon, as if it was going to burn down the blue sky.

Amidst the rubble, a gigantic figure stood up. It was much taller than the other rock spirits, with crystal-like eyes and a stone body filled with hot blood, surging like a torrent of magma that would never be extinguished.

All the rock elves present knelt down with their heads bowed to the ground, respectfully welcoming their king to wake up.

"Miscalculated."

The Tenth Team was shocked. The Rock King was coming with great force and had unmatched combat power, while they were short of mana and were no longer as strong as they were after continuous fighting.

It would be a huge disadvantage to fight against a strong enemy in this state.

"With such a strong physique and power, it is impossible to stop him."

Qi Liu thought a lot, but it was all in vain. In the current situation, even if he exhausted all the magic power in his dantian and condensed it into his strongest move, he would not be able to win in one battle.

What will happen next is bound to be stuck in a quagmire, but this is precisely the situation they cannot afford.

"Human race, you deserve to die."

The Mountain Rock King hid deep among the group, absorbing the spiritual essence fluid scattered everywhere. Suddenly, he felt the cave become passive and immediately revived. He saw Chen Sheng and others fighting in their territory and couldn't help but get angry.

It raised one palm high with five fingers spread out, as if it had grasped the power of the sky, and slammed it down with a loud bang, like a solid and immortal magic weapon, causing a horrifying vision.

The void shook, circles of smoke and dust ripples exploded, and invisible forces spread, crushing piece by piece of the earth.

"Quick, open up a retreat route and let them evacuate."

The sudden change made Zhao Da's heart tremble. Seeing the power of the Mountain Rock King, he quickly made a decision and decided to pick up Chen Sheng and others and evacuate together.

Soon, the other four members of the Dark Blade attacked with swords in hand, with great momentum, causing some commotion in the rear.

"It's been a long time since I swung my sword."

Chen Sheng didn't know Zhao Da's decision. He glanced at his subordinates. They were short of magic power. In such a situation, fighting with the Mountain King would probably result in heavy losses.

He didn't want such an ending, so he took out a second-level magic sword from his storage bag.

Holding the sword in hand, there is a familiar feeling, mixed with the urge to swing the sword.

He did not suppress his eager urge to try, but followed the memory of his body that had been tempered by thousands of times. He swung his arm and slashed down with the magic sword.

"clang"

The heaven and earth changed, as if the stars had moved, and it became a completely different scene. The unrestrained sword intent rushed into the sky.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the stars were cut down, and a mighty sharp edge fell down, covering the sky and the earth, leaving nowhere to hide.

“Crack…”

The palm of the Mountain King that covered the sky was broken to the shoulders, covered with dense cracks, and most of it collapsed, almost useless.

In addition, its body has become tattered and no longer has the mighty power it had when it first appeared, and it only makes people feel miserable.

"What kind of Heavenly Sword Technique is this..."

At the back, Zhao Da, who was working hard to open a "way out" for the Tenth Team, widened his eyes. He had never seen such a magnificent sword intent, so resolute and unyielding, so magnificent that it seemed to shatter the sea of ​​stars.

The magic weapon he used most often was the black sword in his hand, but he would never be able to perform such swordsmanship in his entire life.

"The captain's methods are so mysterious and unpredictable. It is really admirable."

The tenth team gathered around Chen Sheng, their eyes shining, looking at the figure standing with the sword, full of awe and trust.

Before, they were submissive to Chen Sheng because of the power of their superior and the opportunity to gain benefits secretly, which could not be considered as awe, but now they were submissive from the bottom of their hearts.

With such a wise and brave captain, they cannot be rebellious and will naturally obey him in the future.

"roar"

The Rock King was unwilling to give in and roared towards the sky. From the wrinkles of the cliffs, strands of green light flowed into his mouth. That was the spiritual marrow fluid that had not yet gathered and dripped into the cave.

Its injuries recovered visibly, and its power increased greatly, as if it had broken through a small realm, becoming even more terrifying.

"Human, I will kill you."

After returning to its peak, its eyes flashed with sharp divine light, its body was like a mountain, its blood was like the earth, it moved forward and killed, stirring up a billowing airflow.

It stretched out a hand, but was much more cautious. A ball of pale yellow air was swirling above its palm, and it looked extremely heavy, and it was heading towards Chen Sheng to kill him.

"Star Cutting"

Chen Sheng drew his sword and slashed with extreme decisiveness. The sword light was magnificent and tenacious. It did not stop even though there were tens of thousands of layers of void between them. It seemed as if he had transcended time and space, unrestrained and with a sense of freedom as if he was flying into the sky.

King Shanyan's heart skipped a beat, he felt a shadow, but he did not slow down. He grabbed the Star-Slashing Sword Intent with his big hand, and wrapped around it with strands of cyclone energy, trying to wipe it out.

“Crack…”

"clang"

Chen Sheng started to circulate the health-preserving sutra in his body, and magic power flowed throughout his body. The sword in his hand made a clanging sound, and the second-level power was heavy and sharp.

He carried the power of the magic sword and placed his trust in the Star-Slashing Sword Technique. He slashed down with one slash. Unparalleled sharpness flew out, like a rainbow piercing the sun, upright and brave, yet also light and agile like a fairy.

The sword light shone brightly like stars, filling the entire sky, magnificent to the extreme.

"This kind of swordsmanship can already hurt my life."

The Rock King's expression changed drastically, and he felt a little regretful. If he had known that there would be such a cruel character among the human cultivators who broke in, he would have simply stayed silent.

“Boom…”

Unfortunately, the time has come and it has to be faced. It shook its body and blood and energy rolled out of it. The void was steaming and filled with earthy yellow mist, burning like fire.

Its body, hidden in the fiery blood, was like a transformed dragon or snake, revealing its ferociousness. It raised its hands high as if it had attracted a true yang, and it struck the sword light fiercely.

"clang"

The blood and true yang expanded greatly, but it was unable to burn the sword light and was broken by it.

The sword shone brightly as it slashed at the Rock King's body, leaving a horrible sword mark on its solid body, almost splitting it in two, and its breath became extremely weak.

"cut!"

Without thinking, Chen Sheng swung his sword down again, still aiming at the star. The sword light was deep and sharp, illuminating the frightened face of the Mountain Rock King.

It struggled, but could not change anything. The sword flashed and its body shattered into pieces.

“Wuwuwu…”

The mountains shook, and the rock spirits became frightened.

Their king was beheaded in public. The man only wielded his sword, but it was extremely sharp. He could kill gods or Buddhas. Nothing could stop him.

They were scattered! The rock spirits fled, leaving this area and heading far into the mountains, not daring to stay any longer.

"call……"

The monks of the tenth team all breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether they encountered danger or Chen Sheng's extraordinary power, they were all excited and nervous.

Now that the situation is clear, they can relax.

…

The Black Abyss Prison.

It was very quiet in Area A11, with sporadic sounds coming from time to time, which was someone flipping through books.

She sat on a futon, the soft light of heaven shone on her body, her eyes and brows were gentle, and she was immersed in the world of books.

“It’s really romantic.”

Chen Lian sighed.

In her hand was a travel book, recording the experiences of a monk. He traveled through mountains and rivers, sought immortals and visited Taoist temples, and dealt with all kinds of people, including monks, mortals, and ghosts. There was not much drama.

It is more of a kind of fatigue. Cultivation is a difficult thing. Every time you make progress, you must spend a lot of energy.

In the end, the monks in the book were not very good. They were mediocre and did not make much of a name for themselves.

Despite this, Chen Lian was still very envious. She envied the Taoist who was able to seek immortals and learn the way, do things according to his own will, and go through many things to temper his character.

"Uncle Chen hasn't come back yet."

After finishing the travelogue, she scanned the Black Abyss Prison. It was quiet and silent everywhere, and there was no sign of Chen Sheng. She missed him a little.

Then, her mind wandered for a moment. When she scanned the location of cell number one just now, she remembered something and couldn't help but murmured, "Let's talk to her."

Chen Lian had met Rouran once since she was fourteen years old and had never seen her again.

Knowing such a person's character and actions, it is really hard to feel close to him.

I just deliberately ignored it, but it left something in my heart. Every time I thought about it, I would feel uncomfortable. So I decided to meet him and resolve the problem.

"clatter"

Chen Lian walked to cell number one and saw the woman. She had not changed. After she stopped disguising herself, her eyes and brows were cold and there was no warmth in her.

At this moment, Rouran raised her head and looked at Chen Lian with cold eyes. There were no extra movements or too many emotions between them. It was calm and peaceful.

"I thought you would never contact me again."

Chen Lian coming over was something Rouran had never expected. No one could accept the cruel truth.

She didn't care about the curses and spitting, but Chen Lian didn't do anything and just watched calmly.

"The blood between you and me can never be severed."

Chen Lian was very fair. She did not deliberately emphasize the closeness of the relationship and acknowledged the existence of blood ties.

But that’s all.

She placed Rouran in a very proper position, treating her as a special stranger.

"You amaze me."

Rouran's surprise was not fake. Chen Lian faced everything about herself calmly and accepted the past, both good and bad, active and passive.

This requires courage and wisdom.

“I was broken and put back together.”

Chen Lian wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. The period after she knew the truth was too dark and she almost couldn't make it. It was the life in the village and Mr. Chen's care that helped her get through it.

"It would be great if you could practice."

Rouran felt a little regretful. Chen Lian's state of mind and aptitude were not bad. If he embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, he would surely achieve great success.

"Then I will fulfill your wish."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Chen Lian's tone. Rouran certainly didn't regret it, but she felt sorry for not being able to replace herself.

"Mortals are weak and have short life spans, like plants and ants. Only the immortal path is eternal."

Rouran spoke calmly, focusing on "cultivating immortals for longevity", with a condescending attitude, looking down on all the weak.

"So, you're right, right?"

Chen Lian asked.

"What's the point in arguing about this?"

Rouran looked indifferent. The exposure of the mother-child mind transfer spell made all the plans go to waste.

"Yeah, it's meaningless. You'll be locked up in the Black Abyss Prison until you die, while I'll live out my life as a mortal. This cannot be changed."

Seeing her like this, Chen Lian felt a little bored and stopped talking.

When she turned around, she saw a figure walking on the corridor. She was a little surprised, her eyes sparkling, and she greeted him with a smile.
