Chapter 18 The True Face of the Man in Black
Jiang Ying turned around and met the eyes of the man in black. She immediately shouted "Help!" with all her might and ran away.
But before they had run far, the man in black put down the Sword Cloud Sect disciple whose chest had been pierced by a long sword, and leaped into the air to appear in front of Jiang Ying.
The man in black was already at the Foundation Establishment stage, while Jiang Ying was only at the Qi Refining stage; the difference between them was enormous.
Therefore, Jiang Ying had no chance of escaping from the men in black by relying solely on her strength.
Adding to that, his earlier shout had already angered the man in black.
This place is located on a mountain in the bustling Jianyun Courtyard, so such a loud shout would easily give away its presence.
The man in black planned to finish quickly and then leave.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
Countless dark true energies rolled out from the sleeves of the man in black, surrounding the helpless Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying wanted to shout again, but her throat felt like it was blocked, and she couldn't make a sound at all!
"Ah...ah..." Jiang Ying growled in pain, but she couldn't make a sound. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
The dark true energy surged out continuously, and Jiang Ying's entire body was enveloped in it.
Jiang Ying truly felt suffocated.
The man in black intended to suffocate Jiang Ying by using his true energy to materialize.
In this way, Jiang Ying would be unable to make a sound and would die silently.
But how could a princess of the Southern Kingdom not have any means of protecting her life?
Jiang Ying used all her strength, clenching her teeth tightly, and bit down on something inside them.
This thing is so small that it can be hidden in Jiang Ying's teeth without leaving any trace, and it won't affect Jiang Ying's daily life.
But this tiny thing suddenly emitted a blinding light and flew out of Jiang Ying's mouth.
Before the man in black could react, it transformed into a crimson-gold wing and clung tightly to Jiang Ying's back.
The next moment, the crimson-gold wings flapped rapidly, drawing out streams of golden true energy hidden within the little creature, lifting Jiang Ying into the sky.
With a flap of her wings, Jiang Ying quickly left the spot.
What's amazing is that Jiang Ying can adjust the direction of her flight at will, instead of crashing around aimlessly.
The man in black realized what was happening, immediately stepped onto a longsword, and gave chase.
But the more they investigated, the more they realized something was wrong!
Those crimson-gold wings were too fast; they hadn't been chasing for long before she entered the area of the Sword Cloud Courtyard.
The man in black could only snort coldly and leave.
Little did Jiang Ying know that as the man in black left, she used the crimson-gold light to see clearly the long sword under his feet.
It was a blue and white longsword, with blue stripes covering its blade. Every time the man in black made a move, the blue stripes would be overtaken by black.
Jiang Ying remembered this detail.
Those who can enter the Jianyun Academy and the mountains are either from the Jianyun Sect or from the Southern Kingdom.
So, there will definitely be a chance to meet again next time!
Jiang Ying secretly made up her mind to capture the man in black.
The once tranquil Jianyun Courtyard was thrown into turmoil by Jiang Ying's sudden departure.
Fortunately, Jiang Ying eventually returned, bringing with her a shocking secret.
However, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom suppressed the princess's desire to report to the Seventh Elder, and instead said to observe the situation and not to alert the enemy.
.................
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Zhou was still sitting on the stone in front of the wooden house, quietly experiencing the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array Diagram.
After studying for almost a day, I haven't even learned a single formation. I've only just begun to grasp the basics and can only run the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Formation Diagram normally. My true energy has also changed, from its original pure white colorless state to a light blue color. The true energy carries various patterns, which are the incomplete formations that haven't been properly set up.
Because Chen Zhou didn't learn any of them at all.
He spent the whole day studying that pupil technique.
According to the diagram of the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Array in my mind, in order to learn the eighty-one arrays, I must first master the Eye Technique. This Eye Technique is the key to setting up the array. It means whether or not I can find the array eye of an array. As long as I find the array eye with the Eye Technique, I have completed half of the array.
The next step is to use true energy to slowly trace the entire formation around the core of the formation.
This process tests one's mastery of internal energy.
Chen Zhou spent a day learning pupil techniques. Although he was not yet a beginner, he clearly felt that his vision had undergone a qualitative change.
It's not just about eyesight.
Moreover, he can see through things to their essence.
For example, he can clearly see the roots and stems of the wild grass on the mountain, but when he looks at the stone he is sitting on, he can only see a dark expanse, which means that there is nothing on the stone.
Chen Zhou also tried using his pupil technique to look at the people farming on the mountain, but there was nothing there either.
So Chen Zhou gradually came to some conclusions: you can't tell anything from a person to a stone.
The sect competition proceeded as scheduled the next day, and Chen Zhou arrived at the battle arena early and found his seat.
On the opposite side, in the seats of the Southern Kingdom, only the Emperor and three cultivators from the Southern Kingdom were seated, and the seat next to the Emperor was empty.
Where did Jiang Ying go again?
A question popped into Chen Zhou's mind, and he looked around. To his surprise, as soon as he turned his head to the side, a stunningly beautiful face appeared in front of him.
"Junior Sister?" Jiang Ying immediately took a few steps back, then jumped onto the back of the chair and sat down next to Chen Zhou.
