Chapter 35: Killing and stealing treasures. Following a few screams, there were several more...
Following a few screams, several more cultivators were hit by the sword seal and died tragically. Three breaths later, the three finally saw the owner of the sword seal, a man in red who flashed over.
Nangong Liuchu clenched the magic sword tightly. Judging from the pressure from this person, he was at least a Golden Immortal.
Fortunately, the man in red passed the three of them and chased after the other cultivators. Nangong Liuchu breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, a cultivator who was being chased suddenly turned back and ran towards them.
"Please, fellow Daoist, save my life. I am willing to give you all the proceeds from this trip."
This scene reminded Li Youyang of Chu Yu, and that was not a good memory.
Seeing the man in red approaching, the man fell to his knees and kowtowed: "Please...ah!"
After a scream, he turned into a bloody mist.
The man in red flashed in front of the three people and looked at them expressionlessly. The one in the middle had the lowest cultivation level and didn't even look like he had established his foundation, but he was the calmest.
"Are you also here to look for the Divine Relics?"
The Divine Relics, as the name suggests, are what the Divine Relics transformed after their death. After refining, they can at least elevate one realm. The Divine Relics usually retain the Divine Relics' heritage, and their value is immeasurable. So far, only one has appeared in the world of cultivation, which was obtained by Fu Guangjun, who successfully became a saint with it.
Nangong Liuchu asked almost subconsciously: "Is there a divine relic in here?"
Man in red: ...
Nangong Liuchu added: "No wonder so many high-level cultivators showed up."
Bei Liyuan looked at the man in red and said, "We just heard there's a divine secret realm here, and we wanted to come here to experience it. We have no intention of stealing the treasure. If there's a divine relic here as you said, we'll just stay away. After all, we can't protect that treasure with our strength."
The man in red was silent. The three of them did not look like they came for the divine relics. If they really came to steal the treasure, why would they bring a cultivator who had not yet established his foundation? Even so, it was better to kill him just in case.
While he was thinking, his fingertips moved, and three blood-red sword prints attacked the three people. The man in red turned around at the same time, but the next moment the sword prints were forced back. The man in red waved his sleeves lightly, and the sword prints dissipated. He looked at the three people again, and it seemed that he had underestimated the other party.
Nangong Liuchu looked towards Beiliyuan and said, "Protect Master."
Bei Liyuan nodded.
Nangong Liuchu is still at the Golden Immortal level. When fighting against someone at the Golden Immortal level, Nangong Liuchu doesn't dare to hide and directly summons the Mysterious Ice Sword. With a demigod weapon in his hand, he might be able to fight.
A demigod weapon! Greed flashed in the red-clothed man's eyes: "I can't believe that a mere Golden Immortal can possess a treasure of this level. Now it belongs to me."
After saying that, he summoned an ink-black long sword. His fingertips moved quickly, and a strong spiritual energy flowed through the sword. Then the immortal sword turned into a dragon and attacked Nangong Liuchu with great momentum.
Nangong Liuchu's eyes darkened, and he pinched the sword formula with his fingers. The Xuanbing Sword turned into tens of thousands of cold rays that hit the dragon. In an instant, the dragon dissipated, and the cold rays went straight to the man in red.
The man in red frowned unhappily, and with his fingertips moving again, the dragons reunited and swallowed the cold light.
Nangong Liuchu had already expected this, and he drew five sword seals in a row. In an instant, the cold light condensed into ice, sealing the inky dragon in the ice.
"How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert!"
The man in red drew a sword seal with his hand, and the sharp sword energy rushed towards Nangong Liuchu. Nangong Liuchu hurriedly formed a seal and retreated. At the same time, the ice shattered, and the dragon turned into a rolling thick cloud, mixed with lightning, and pressed forward with great momentum.
The red-clothed man moved his fingertips again, and the dark cloud turned into a giant beast that swallowed the sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became dark.
The giant beast was getting closer and closer. Nangong Liuchu clenched his fist and said, "Let's fight!"
With the cry of a phoenix, the Xuanbing Sword soared into the sky and turned into an Ice Phoenix. Nangong Liuchu flew up and merged with the Ice Phoenix, piercing the divine beast, which disappeared in an instant.
The black longsword simultaneously bounced back into the red-clothed man's hand, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. "I've reached the realm of unity between man and sword, but my Golden Core cultivation can actually connect with the sword spirit! If I were only one realm away, I might not be able to win, but I'm at the Daluo Jinxian realm."
As he spoke, his hands moved quickly, and in a flash, dozens of sword seals appeared.
"What a fast speed." Nangong Liuchu's eyes darkened.
Then the ink-black long sword transformed into seven sword shadows, and the seven sword shadows slashed straight towards Nangong Liuchu.
With a scream, Nangong Liuchu fell down seriously injured. Bei Liyuan acted in time to catch him and fed him a healing pill.
Li Youyang's fingertips moved quickly, and a formation enveloped Nangong Liuchu: "Leave Yuan, a quarter of an hour."
Bei Liyuan understood and attacked the man in red with his sword.
Seeing that Bei Liyuan was only at the Golden Immortal Realm and only had one Taoist weapon, the man in red didn't take him seriously. He casually picked up his sword and went to meet him. After the blow, he was shocked and tried to raise his spiritual breath, but was still knocked back two steps.
The man in red couldn't help but frown. Who did he meet today? Normally, as a Daluo Jinxian, he could easily defeat hundreds of Jinxians at the same time, but why was it so difficult to defeat these two Jinxians today!
While he was thinking, Bei Liyuan had already attacked again with his sword. The man in red went to meet him, and then he found that he could not hurt Bei Liyuan at all. Bei Liyuan could always form some strange formations to escape at the critical moment.
And when he changes his target, Bei Liyuan will attack again. In short, when he advances, the opponent retreats, and when he retreats, the opponent chases him.
Unable to get rid of the beast and unable to kill it, the man in red began to get increasingly annoyed.
After going back and forth like this for a quarter of an hour, Bei Liyuan stopped.
The man in red sneered: "What? You can't fight anymore, are you ready to die?"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "Let's find someone else to fight with you."
The moment he finished speaking, Nangong Liuchu came forward with a sword in hand, while Bei Liyuan retreated to Li Youyang's side. "Master, looking at the pressure from Senior Brother, is he about to reach a higher realm?"
Li Youyang seemed to be lost in thought. "After ten years of cultivation and accumulation of spiritual energy, I haven't achieved any progress. However, this cross-border battle seems to be a sign of things to come. It seems that Fu Guangjun's teaching method is more suitable for Nangong Liuchu. After this battle, I must find some places where powerful monsters can be found for him to train."
Bei Liyuan: ...
Brother Nangong, you are in trouble!
Just as he was thinking about it, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and there was a loud thunder.
The man in red was shocked: "This is a thunder tribulation!"
Bei Liyuan held Li Youyang's wrist and retreated with his sword. People who first met Senior Brother Nangong would think he was very reliable, but after getting to know him for a long time, they would know how unreliable he was. The last time he overcame the tribulation was at Fu Guang Peak. At that time, for some reason, the thunder tribulation was struck in the wrong direction. If Fu Guangjun had not intervened in time, he would have been struck to death directly. It is safer to stay away.
After Bei Liyuan retreated, Li Youyang also remembered this matter and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. Nangong Liuchu should be the only one who can make thunder strike other people's heads.
Bei Liyuan happened to see this smile, and he was stunned for a moment. Master looked so beautiful when he smiled.
"boom!"
A loud noise brought Bei Liyuan back to his senses, and he looked at the distance in amazement. Li Youyang had the same expression, because the thunder tribulation actually struck the man in red. The thunder tribulation came suddenly, and the man in red was not prepared at all, and was directly stunned by the thunder tribulation.
If they didn't know Nangong Liuchu well, they would have doubted that this man could control the thunder tribulation.
The man in red scrambled to his feet in a panic. Who on earth was this person so powerful that he could even control the thunder tribulation?!
Another one fell immediately afterwards. The man in red subconsciously formed a protective formation, but this time the sword hit Nangong Liuchu hard.
The thunderstorm continued, and the man in red didn't dare to move forward rashly. He even consciously stayed away, but the thunderstorm still struck him from time to time.
After half an hour, the thunder tribulation dissipated, and Nangong Liuchu successfully ascended to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Bei Liyuan returned with Li Youyang on his sword. Li Youyang looked at the man in red and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you really want to kill the three of us?"
The man in red said coldly, "That's right! Since we've made enemies today... this is... the ancient Immortal Execution Formation!"
Li Youyang looked at Beiliyuan and Nangong Liuchu. They both attacked at the same time, and the ancient Zhuxian Formation was activated. In an instant, most of the red-clothed man's cultivation was reduced.
"A person who has not yet established his foundation can draw this kind of formation. There is only one person in the world who can do it, but that person has already..." The man in red was shocked. Not long ago, the leader of Guanhe Sword Sect, Nan Liujing, was searching for the person who had taken over someone else's body. Could it be that the God of Youyang has come back to the world?
"Lord Youyang, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life!"
Li Youyang's eyes were cold and gloomy: "Since you have recognized my identity, I can no longer keep you."
The moment he finished speaking, his fingertips moved again, and the ancient Zhuxian Formation reflected a bloody and evil aura. Nangong Liuchu and Beiliyuan injected spiritual energy into the formation again, and the next moment the soul of the man in red disappeared.
Li Youyang put away the formation: "Let's see if he has any useful spiritual treasures."
Bei Liyuan released his spiritual energy to search and found three space rings, two of which were already full: "Master, there are too many spiritual treasures. Why don't we go back and look for them later?"
Li Youyang nodded: "Alright, let's destroy the body."
Nangong Liuchu waved his sleeves lightly, and the man in red instantly turned to ash. "Master, should we continue to stay in these ruins? The Divine Relic is extremely tempting. I'm afraid even cultivators with semi-saint cultivation will come. If we encounter such unreasonable people again, it will be difficult to deal with them."
Li Youyang frowned: "Why are you so cowardly? If you can beat him, fight him. If you can't, just run away."
Nangong Liuchu: ...
"What if I can't run away?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Call someone."
Nangong Liuchu: ...
Bei Liyuan smiled.
Li Youyang frowned: "Is what I said funny?"
Bei Liyuan hurriedly shook his head: "I just feel that Master and I think the same thing, we really are in sync. I am happy and smiled."
Nangong Liuchu: "Junior brother, read more books. This isn't how telepathy works. You and Master should be in tune with each other, but... that doesn't seem quite right. Being in perfect harmony with each other doesn't seem quite right either..."
After the battle with the red-clothed man, Li Youyang had almost stopped caring about the matter in the illusion array. However, when Nangong Liuchu emphasized this, some charming images appeared in his mind again. In anger, he warned in a deep voice: "Nangong Liuchu, if you don't want your tongue anymore, your master doesn't mind pulling it out for you."
Nangong Liuchu quickly shut up. Why was Master so angry all of a sudden? Just because he used the wrong idiom?
As he was thinking about looking at Bei Liyuan, he saw that Bei Liyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, which made him even more confused. Usually, when the master was in a bad mood, the junior brother would try his best to make the master happy, but why did he seem so happy now?
