Chapter 374 Nascent Soul Killing Tribulation (Part 2)
Above the mountain-like blue-gray pagoda.
The swarm of black scorpions dispersed, and an old Taoist in gray robe appeared with a whisk in his hand. He was making secrets with one hand, chanting words, and performing the "Pagoda Secrets" that he had practiced for hundreds of years.
The pagoda at its feet illuminates the blue-grey light realm below, and the golden light spots outline it, gradually solidifying and thickening, becoming a semi-solid wall.
"Pagoda Sanren, beware of the desperate counterattack of that woman giving up her body later."
The Red Snake Lord, who was controlling the black blood inkstone in the distance, reminded him via voice transmission.
“Fellow Taoist, don’t worry, Pindao still has fresh memories of Brother Yunlan’s outbreak in the Ancient You Palace. The pain at that time took several years to heal..."
The scattered people of the pagoda were condescending, overlooking the Zixia Fairy who was struggling to support herself below, with a trace of pity and regret in her eyes.
He couldn't help but recall his early years as a guest in the Yunxia Sect, when he first saw Fairy Zixia, and how she smiled when she made tea to entertain the guests.
“This person is Baota Zhenjun, his Taoist name is Baota Sanren?”
Lu Changan and his two men also saw the Pagoda Sanren appearing above.
Lu Changan had heard of this man. He was a close friend of True Lord Yun Lan and a Nascent Soul monk who was a casual cultivator.
At that time, the Ancient You Palace was opened, and Zhenjun Yunlan entered the Ancient You Palace together with this person. After something happened to True Monarch Yun Lan, the relevant monk disappeared mysteriously and disappeared for many years.
Based on many clues, True Lord Zixia suspected that the Taoists had teamed up with outsiders to harm True Lord Yunlan.
At this moment, the appearance of Baota Sanren, combined with the ambush of Dashan Mountain, made the suspicion become the truth.
“Senior Sister Jiang, I will deal with this person.”
Lu Changan discovered that the Hun Tian Brocade controlled by Zixia Fairy was further defiled by three black-blooded snakes. He retreated steadily and knew that he could no longer paddle.
Shuashua!
To his left and right, two third-level puppets appeared, sharing the power of sealing the town and launching an attack on the pagoda.
Seeing this, the scattered people in the pagoda didn't take it to heart, knowing the tricks of Xiang Dalong's puppet master.
But just as he raised his eyelids, two third-level puppets appeared before and after Lu Changan.
The number of puppets reaches four.
Soon, the number of puppets doubled again, reaching eight.
“Eight third-level puppets!”
"This son's consciousness is so powerful that he can control eight third-level middle-grade or above puppets at the same time?"
Pagoda Sanren couldn't help but be startled.
The Red Snake Lord in the distance also showed a hint of surprise.
As we all know, the more puppets controlled at the same time and the higher the level, the greater the load on the puppet master’s consciousness.
At the moment, Lu Changan has eight third-level puppets, two of which are high-level third-level puppets, and the other six are exquisite third-level middle-level puppets. This has exceeded the limit of ordinary third-level high-level puppet masters.
“With so many third-level puppets, it is impossible to exert their full power. However, this guy’s financial resources are beyond expectations, and he can even obtain resources for childbirth at the same time..."
There was a strange color in the eyes of True Lord Red Snake, and he became interested in the secrets of Xiang Dalong.
In today's battle, Fairy Zixia may be able to escape with her Nascent Soul, but under the eyes of the two Nascent Souls, Xiang Dalong will never be able to escape.
As soon as this idea came up, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
The eight third-order puppets around Lu Changan outlined traces of puppet power crystal threads between each other. As the arc flashed, they formed a puppet power array in mid-air.
Zi Bing!
That puppet force formation exploded with powerful spiritual pressure, breaking the original energy level limit and approaching the Yuanying level.
Immediately afterwards, a pillar of power crystal, as thick as a pillar, rose into the sky and hit the gray pagoda above the head.
The mountain-like green-grey pagoda could not help but tremble slightly, and its light dimmed a little.
Suddenly, the pressure on Fairy Zixia, who was under the seal of the pagoda, was greatly reduced, her magic energy and blood flowed much more smoothly, and her pale face regained a trace of blush like clouds.
“Puppet Army Formation!”
“This boy is actually proficient in this advanced puppetry skill.”
Pagoda Sanshen and Red Snake True Monarch had extraordinary experience, and their brows wrinkled slightly involuntarily, showing great surprise and astonishment.
The puppet army array revealed by Lu Changan is so powerful that it touches the Nascent Soul level and should not be underestimated.
“Junior Brother Xiang, thank you for your hard work.”
Zixia Fairy's eyebrows are stretched, with a sense of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Dalong still has such a trump card in his hand.
At this moment, the force of sealing off the town that was originally exerted on Jiang Ziyan was basically shouldered by Lu Changan and the puppet army.
“Senior Sister Jiang, don’t worry about fighting with True Lord Red Snake. Junior Brother is sure to entangle the scattered people of the Pagoda.”
Lu Changan’s calm voice transmission made Jiang Ziyan feel more at ease.
In fact, the puppet military formation used by Lu Changan at this moment is a "castrated version".
The complete version of the puppet army formation is composed of sixteen puppets in total. It is twice as powerful as the current one. In positional battles, it can completely compete with a Nascent Soul monk.
In addition, there is an enhanced version of the puppet army formation, with a quasi-fourth-level supernatural peacock as the core, which is even more powerful.
However, Zixia Fairy only asked him to "contain" the Pagoda Sanren, and Lu Changan did not need to use the full version of the puppet army.
First, it is a bit shocking.
Secondly, in the ever-changing world of immortality, it would not be a big mistake to hide some strength.
…
“Junior brother, be careful too.”
After receiving Lu Changan’s guarantee, Zixia Fairy broke through the light realm of the Blue Gray Pagoda and fought with the Red Snake Lord 1V1 with all her strength.
The pagoda Sanren on the pagoda looked ugly.
However, the pagoda he controls can only trap one early Yuanying monk, and any more will exceed the limit of its mana.
Lu Changan, a top-notch alchemy player in the late stage, cooperates with the puppet army formation, which is enough to involve most of his mana means, so naturally he cannot restrain Fairy Zixia.
“There are all ants below Yuanying, Xiao Xiaojiedan dares to challenge Pindao.”
Pagoda San was angry at Lu Changan's confidence in restraining him. If this matter spread, wouldn't he become a laughing stock in the circle of Yuanying monks?
Hugh!
The gray robes of the scattered people in the pagoda stirred, and the Nascent Soul spirit body and the main body in the mind simultaneously pinched the magic formula. The spiritual pressure around the body rose horribly. Dense golden patterns appeared on the gray pagoda under the feet, and the light increased a bit.
Lu Changan felt his soul roaring, his body heavy, bearing the pressure of the ancient mountains, and his breathing and blood were stagnant.
“Hmph, using realm magic weapons to suppress others?”
Lu Changan snorted coldly, refusing to admit defeat at all. He immediately took a secret medicine and performed the "Secret Squeezing Technique". The mana in his body boiled and his mass increased by 40 to 50%.
In an instant, the top-grade magic weapon Thunder Whip he controlled stirred up a burst of thunder, like a thunder and lightning dragon dancing wildly, and slapped on the pagoda.
Even if it doesn’t hurt the True Lord Yuanying at all, it will still consume the opponent’s mana and magic weapon aura, and affect his mind and energy.
“There’s something wrong with this kid! His spiritual consciousness is strong and his magic power is only increased. His physical body seems to be extraordinary. He can still fight calmly under the pressure of the pagoda.”
After ten breaths of fighting, there was nothing that could be done to Lu Changan, and the people from the Pagoda discovered the clues.
His magic power is weak in the early stage of Nascent Soul, which is the second best.
But the great dragon's magic power, physical body, and spiritual consciousness are all beyond the common sense of monks in the late stage of pill formation.
Just the gravity pressure contained in the pagoda, the normal pill-forming method cannot bear it at all, and it can be crushed into pulp in just a few breaths.
Although the puppet army formation can bear most of the pressure, it is a bit false that there is no difficulty in the fighting.
“This old Taoist priest is a casual cultivator, and his magic power and attack power are really average, a bit weaker than the fourth generation ‘Master Lihuo’.”
Lu Changan had a preliminary confrontation, and the Nascent Soul memory of the third generation came to a conclusion, which made him sigh in relief.
However, the defense and trapping methods of the Pagoda Sanren were extremely outstanding in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Even, he is the strongest among the Nascent Soul monks that Lu Changan has encountered.
Trapped by the pagoda, even if Lu Changan launched a complete puppet army formation, he would not be able to gain the slightest advantage.
Fortunately, Lu Changan did not have to defeat the enemy. As long as he was involved for a period of time and alerted the other Nascent Soul Lords in Dayu Kingdom, the Great Snake Mountain would retreat on its own.
At least according to the explicit rules of Dayu Kingdom, the Nascent Souls of the major forces are not allowed to fight each other.
“I never expected that this boy would be the biggest variable in this ambush.”
On the other side, True Lord Red Snake, who was fighting with Jiang Ziyan, could not help but turn gloomy when he saw the pagoda monk being restrained.
In terms of magical power, Lord Red Snake really stabilizes Jiang Ziyan. However, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, it is difficult to achieve a quick victory in a one-on-one situation.
“I have already sent a message to the sect! This battle will soon alarm our colleagues in Dayu, and we will send in reinforcements.”
Fairy Zixia's appearance was cold, she suppressed the angry murderous intention in her heart, took back the purple silk magic weapon that was nearly half defiled, and offered another cloud comb magic weapon.
——
The cloud comb magic weapon is more powerful in killing. It draws out clouds and clouds as thin as a blade, cutting off the black blood snakes flying out of the ink stone magic weapon, and preventing them from getting close to the dirty magic weapon.
However, the spiritual snakes flying out of the black blood inkstone are endless and will not be interrupted as long as the Red Snake True Monarch has sufficient mana.
Zixia Fairy consumes more mana and is no match for her in a long battle.
…
“Deal with that kid first!”
The Red Snake True Lord fought more calmly, took an overview of the overall situation, and decided to attack Xiang Dalong's weaker link first.
After all, Xiang Dalong mainly relies on puppet external objects. As long as he is defeated, the Nascent Soul Sanren, the Pagoda Sanren, can be liberated.
On the other hand, Zhenjun Zixia, if pressed, has the escape route of Nascent Soul leaving the body.
If Xiang Dalong can be captured in this battle, he will be able to control the puppet army and check and balance the threat to Diyan Lord.
"go!"
A certain spiritual pet bag on the waist of True Monarch Red Snake suddenly trembled, and a terrifying evil wind surged out.
A frightening roar.
Then he saw a twenty-foot long red-striped snake, wrapped in a ball of red cloud demon wind, rushing towards Lu Changan inside the pagoda boundary like lightning.
“Junior brother, be careful! This is Red Snake Lord’s most powerful spiritual pet, the Red Flame Serpent.”
Fairy Zixia's face changed and she immediately sent a message.
During the fight, she was suppressed by True Lord Red Snake and had no power left to stop her.
“Jie Jie! With the help of the puppet army formation, it is the limit for this son to contain a Nascent Soul cultivator. When this quasi-fourth-level red flame serpent takes action, how can Zhuzi stop him?”
The Red Snake True Monarch gave a strange laugh.
This big red flame snake is the hybrid offspring of the "Red Serpent King" of the Big Snake Mountain, and has the bloodline of the earth.
There is no such thing as a fourth-level, half-step Nascent Soul among human monks.
But other types, such as the demon clan, do not need to condense the Nascent Soul. If they form a semi-finished essence elixir, their strength is far better than that of the late third-level demon, but inferior to that of the fourth-level demon king.
This quasi-fourth-level red flame snake suddenly attacks, and it will definitely break the deadlock in an instant and break through Xiang Dalong's circle.
“A quasi-fourth-level earth-blooded serpent?”
Lu Changan’s consciousness sensed the approaching red flame snake.
The brightly colored and smooth snake skin seems to have some kind of temptation, and it is a good material for refining the quasi-fourth-level talisman skin.
How could such a good thing happen?
Lu Changxin was overjoyed and immediately patted the storage bag on his waist.
Phew!
The red flame snake escaped very quickly, with a ferocious face and its **** mouth just opened.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he felt strong spiritual pressure and resistance.
Shuashuashua…
The number of eight puppets around Lu Changan suddenly doubled.
Hum!
Sixteen third-order puppets formed a military formation. The puppet power crystal threads connected to each other were glowing with arcs, and the puppet power formation in mid-air doubled.
Boom!
A wave of complete Nascent Soul-level puppet power erupted in the puppet army formation, alarming the three Nascent Soul True Lords present.
Pagoda Sanren, who was driving the pagoda, was slightly distracted. He felt the powerful shock wave from the pagoda realm, which brought invisible pressure.
The Red Snake True Lord in the distance couldn't help but scream in shock, communicating with the Red Flame Serpent and asking it to dodge quickly. It's a pity that it's too late.
The red flame snake seemed to have jumped into the puppet army formation on its own initiative and could not stop at all.
A loud "bang" sound.
The puppet military formation condensed a huge puppet-arm crystal hand, and violently slapped the red flame snake on the head.
It was as big as the head of a house, almost torn apart, with blood gushing out like a fountain.
Severely injured in one blow!
The big red flame snake almost fainted, its brain was filled with stars, and it was all kinds of meat and fish.
It was completely stunned!
Suddenly, Lu Changan took action and took out two quasi-fourth-level talismans.
Soul-Calling Talisman! Demon Sealing Talisman!
Two talismans hit the red flame serpent, which was seriously injured and lost consciousness at the same time.
The former caused his soul to sink and his consciousness to freeze; the latter made his whole body's demonic power freeze, and he fell into a seal bit by bit.
After arriving in Dayuan, Lu Changan learned that monsters and beasts were prevalent in this coastal state, and ghost cultivators in the northern region were rampant, so the types of talismans he prepared daily were adjusted accordingly.
Two targeted quasi-fourth-level talismans caused the seriously injured Red Flame Serpent to immediately lose the power to resist, and most of its demonic power was lost.
Lu Changan took the opportunity to sacrifice a sharp flying sword magic weapon.
Poof!
With a flash of cold light, the head of the red flame snake was chopped off, causing a flow of blood several feet high.
“Stop—”
The Red Snake True Lord in the distance was frightened, angry, and furious, but he had no time to stop him.
Pagoda True Lord tried to stop him, but was blocked by the complete puppet army formation.
The two true kings watched helplessly as Lu Changan sealed the red flame snake and chopped off its head.
Due to the effects of the soul-suppressing talisman and the demon-suppressing talisman, Lu Changan turned his elixir-powerful hand and took out the semi-finished essence elixir of the Red Flame Serpent.
At the level of the fourth-level demon king, the soul merges with the great elixir. Even if the physical body is destroyed, there is still a chance to escape, but the escape speed is not as good as the Yuanying spirit body.
If the Great Dan explodes by itself, its power will be unimaginable.
This is also the reason why Lu Changan used two restraint talismans.
Lu Changan took out a jade box and sealed the great elixir of the Red Flame Serpent inside.
Subsequently, he tied the body of the red flame snake and compressed it into a ball so that it could be stored in the storage bag.
“Xiang Dalong! Dashan has remembered this account.”
The Red Snake Lord, who had been paying attention to this scene the whole time, turned pale and almost vomited blood. He could only hold a grudge in his heart.
Lu Changan was indifferent. Even if he had not been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, ordinary true kings would have limited threat to him.
He controls the puppet army formation and can more easily control the pagoda scattered people.
Pagoda Sanren are good at trapping enemies and defending. Lu Changan cannot threaten this person, so he has no unnecessary thoughts.
The puppet army formation is suitable for positional warfare. If it is used for roaming or pursuit warfare, it will not be able to exert its due power.
Sixteen puppets, connected to form a military formation as a whole, place a greater burden on the consciousness than the sixteen puppets fighting individually.
However, it is difficult for a third-level high-grade puppet master to control a puppet army formation of this level.
…
“Junior Brother Xiang, you have made great achievements today!”
Zhenjun Zixia just came out of a trance at this time. Lu Changan's series of thunderous methods just now shocked his mind and was incredible.
Some of the mysteries of the past suddenly became clear at this time.
Even if Xiang Dalong doesn't have Diyan Lord, he still has methods comparable to Yuanying level.
No wonder, after Diyanjun was promoted to the fourth level, he was still respectful and well-behaved, and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
However, after the surprise, Zixia Zhenjun felt a little mixed.
Xiang Dalong has hidden himself too deeply, and with his revealed strength, he teamed up with Lord Diyan to stabilize her in the sect.
Fortunately, Xiang Dalong seems to have no ambitions. He concentrates on practicing hard and studying skills, and has no interest in sect power.
“Senior Sister Jiang, be careful of this person’s sinister methods.”
Lu Changan was relatively relaxed at this time and spent his spare time paying attention to the battle on Fairy Zixia's side.
The situation has become clear.
As long as the two of them can restrain and balance a Nascent Soul True Lord, they will not be defeated in the short term. When the other Nascent Souls of Dayu Kingdom arrive, the Big Snake Mountain will naturally retreat.
“Junior brother Xiang, don’t worry, you only need to hold on for two seconds. Senior sister has already sent a message back to the sect to ask for reinforcements...”
Fairy Zixia said in a message.
Messaging the sect?
Lu Changan thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
The only reinforcements that can arrive in time are the Nascent Soul monks who are extremely fast.
Except for the Yuanying monks from the same camp, there is only the fourth-level holy beast guarding the mountain gate, Lord Diyan.
In the territory of Dayu Kingdom, the special communication method of Zixia Zhenjun can be reached in an instant.
If Mr. Diyan is worried about his master's safety and goes out to provide support...
“Don’t go out of the mountain!”
Lu Changan communicated through his spiritual pets and conveyed vague orders to Lord Diyan in the distance.
As long as Lord Diyan is stationed at the mountain gate, with the help of the fourth-order formation and many monks defending him, even if multiple Nascent Souls join forces, they will not be able to break through in a short period of time.
“Jun Diyan...no! The Red Snake King of Tianpin bloodline in the Great Snake Mountain has not shown up yet. I’m afraid he is surrounding us for reinforcements.”
Fairy Zixia, who was temporarily out of crisis, reacted immediately.
She realized that there was more than one part of Dashan’s plan.
Under normal circumstances, there will be a Nascent Soul Lord left in Dashan Mountain to guard the mountain gate, which is the newly promoted Lord Chi Lian.
In this way, the "Red Snake King", who is stronger than the Red Snake Lord, can easily free his hands.
The blood race of the Red Nether Snake King, as well as his magical powers, are all the Earth Rock Lords who can defeat the new demon king.
I'm afraid that the Chiyou Snake King is near Yunxia Sect, waiting to ambush Diyan Lord who is out to support him.
“Senior Sister Jiang, as long as we have no problem, we don’t need Lord Diyan’s support.”
Lu Changan felt relaxed after delivering the order.
“Well, Dashan didn’t expect that Junior Brother Xiang, you have the means to resist the Nascent Soul cultivator.”
Zhenjun Zixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally not falling for Dashan’s trick.
…
The battle continued and took a lot of time.
There were no worries between Lu Changan and Baota Sanren.
Pagoda Sanren were resigned and had no choice but to accept the fact that they were defeated by an "elixir-forming ant".
The fight between Fairy Zixia and True Lord Red Snake is fierce, with secret techniques, magical powers, and magic weapons colliding from time to time, creating a storm.
The Red Snake True Lord has strong magic power and more sophisticated fighting skills. Moreover, Fairy Zixia suffered a certain degree of internal injury in the initial attack.
Zhenjun Zixia's palace skirt has one or two tears.
One was a black wound on the shoulder.
At another place, on the snow-skinned skin of the long legs, there was a shocking bloodstain, which almost hurt the bones.
“It’s enough to hold on for just a little while longer.”
Sweat appeared on Zhenjun Zixia's forehead and temples. He suppressed his internal injuries and had a firm fighting spirit, struggling to deal with Zhenjun Red Snake.
His!
Suddenly, her body swayed, her mind felt dizzy, and her magic power was weak.
The Yuanying spirit body located deep in the Niwan Palace, the delicate spiritual infant that is as small as a maze and looks like the Purple Cloud Fairy, has a faint blue centipede texture on its face that was originally carved from pink and jade.
“Level 4 infant poison!”
“When did it happen? I was obviously on guard...”
Zhenjun Zixia's face was pale, her whole body was cold, she lost her voice in panic, and her starry eyes revealed unbelievable emotions.
In a battle with the Da Sheshan Nascent Soul, Zixia Zhenjun was always on guard against insidious plots, locking the seven orifices with magical power throughout the process, and used detoxification techniques to isolate the air around his body.
It is impossible for the poisons known in the past to invade her body, let alone penetrate into the Nascent Soul.
“Jie Jie! This is a new type of fourth-level infant poison configured by the ‘Red Lian Zhenjun’ of our sect. It can penetrate and lurk into mana.”
“When you and I fight fiercely and our magic powers collide, the baby poison will wait for an opportunity to enter, and the wounds on the fairy’s body will speed up the onset of baby poison!”
The cold and successful laughter of Lord Red Snake came, and in this fight, he finally had a chance to win.
The poison refining master from Dashan Mountain, as a new Nascent Soul, is not strong in frontal combat, but the poison he developed can also be used by other monks.
Wow!
Fairy Zixia used her magic power to force out a mouthful of poisonous blood. Her pale face showed a sad and beautiful feeling.
She turned over the sleeves of her skirt, and two porcelain bottles appeared. She took out two detoxification pills, one black and one white, and drank them quickly.
“Tsk, tsk, the ordinary fourth-level detoxifying pill is useless.”
The Red Snake Lord took the opportunity to launch an offensive and did not give Fairy Zixia a chance to breathe, detoxify and heal her wounds.
The infant poison this time was more than twice as powerful as the one used against True Lord Yunlan back then.
As long as it is delayed for a while, the infant poison will deepen, and even if the Nascent Soul leaves the body, it will have serious consequences.
Puffy!
A few more rounds of collisions between spells and magic weapons.
Zhenjun Yuanying's magic power was greatly reduced, and he was retreating steadily. He was knocked away by Zhenjun Red Snake, and the sound of broken bones was heard.
“Senior Sister Jiang!”
There was a call from behind, and Jiang Ziyan fell into the arms of a man with a familiar aura.
Fortunately, the direction in which Fairy Zixia retreated and flew down happened to be towards Lu Changan.
He controlled the puppet army array to fight against the pagoda. With his powerful body and magic power, he broke through the light boundary of the pagoda and successfully connected with Fairy Zixia.
“You little thief! How dare you save a beauty under my nose.”
When True Lord Red Snake saw Lu Changan, he was furious and his tone was sinister, revealing his murderous intent.
Snapped!
Lu Changan put a palm on Fairy Zixia's back, and the wood magic power of dead wood helped stabilize her internal injuries.
He felt a dull pain in his heart, pressed the fourth-level talisman in his sleeve, and prepared to expose the supernatural peacock.
“Junior Brother Xiang, stand firm.”
Jiang Ziyan, whose starry eyes were slightly closed, held a talisman with flashing electric arcs between her green fingers, exuding a powerful aura.
“Level 4 Thunder Escape Talisman!”
Lu Changan looked happy. As a Yuanying sect that had been passed down for thousands of years, he indeed had some foundation.
Immediately, he felt the soft fragrance filling his arms, and Jiang Ziyan's plump and undulating body hugged his waist tightly.
There was a loud bang, and a large piece of lightning enveloped the two of them.
The Red Snake True Lord's hateful blow failed, extinguishing the two afterimage auras.
He watched helplessly as the two people embracing each other turned into lightning and escaped, flying ten miles away.
“Fellow Red Snake, according to the plan, there can be no further delay…”
Pagoda Sanren spread the message, which means urging.
“This couple of bitches!”
The Red Snake Lord looked at the direction where the lightning arc flashed, gnashing his teeth, resentful and dissatisfied, and couldn't help but curse.
