Chapter 212 Bandit Attack in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp (Please subscribe and vote!)

The three sects of the Suspended Mirror Sect are not strong, the materials for building the teleportation array are extremely rare, and each time the teleportation array is activated, it requires a lot of resources.

Therefore, the teleportation array built by the three sects of the Suspended Mirror Sect is not activated very often. It is usually only activated when the three sects encounter danger, so that they can support each other.

After leaving the Desolate Ancient Sect and entering the territory of the Haoyang Sect, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu also inquired about the teleportation array.

After learning this news, they abandoned the idea of ​​taking the teleportation array and obediently let Queyun take them to the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

Lu Cheng'an rarely left his family home, and he spent very little time traveling.

Although he was unable to use the teleportation array this time, he gained a lot of knowledge and a deeper understanding of the cultivation world in Qingzhou during his journey.

Of course, they didn't linger on the road for too long. They needed to get to the Poison Swamp Immortal City as soon as possible, and once they had successfully purchased the treasures they needed, they would return to their clan as soon as possible.

After all, they cannot leave their respective factions for an extended period. If the third-tier demonic beasts such as the Azure Flame Lion were to discover their whereabouts, the Lu family and the Pill Cauldron Sect would be in grave danger.

Time passed slowly, and more than half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

"This is the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, and the Poison Swamp Immortal City is located in the center of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp!" Shi Ningyu stood on the back of Queyun, gazing at the boundless Ten Thousand Poison Swamp in front of her.

The Swamp of Ten Thousand Poisons is extremely vast, containing numerous wetlands and ponds, lush aquatic vegetation, and a large number of demonic beasts.

Its internal environment is extremely dangerous; even cultivators at the Golden Core stage need to be extremely careful when entering it.

In addition to the dangers posed by the swamp itself, there are also some evil cultivators in the swamp who specialize in killing and plundering.

They are very familiar with the environment of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, and by taking advantage of the terrain, they are often able to exert strength beyond their own capabilities.

"The sparrow has fallen to the ground. Let's rest for a while and enter the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp tomorrow!"

After Lu Cheng'an withdrew his gaze from the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, he ordered Sparrow Fall to descend.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu leaped off the back of the sparrow and landed on a lush meadow.

At this moment, Queyun's enormous body flashed with fiery red light, and in an instant, he transformed into a human.

Que Yun traveled tens of thousands of miles, using his flying magic to travel for a long time, which severely depleted his magical power.

After transforming into human form, he didn't need Lu Cheng'an's instructions at all. He immediately took out a pill to restore his mana from his storage artifact and found a place to start recovering his depleted mana.

The pills that Que Yun took to restore his mana were provided by Shi Ningyu. Shi Ningyu had refined a lot of these pills, and she shared some with Lu Cheng'an and Que Yun.

After landing, Lu Cheng'an cast a spell to release the old turtle who had been staying in the Azure Sky Palace.

Old Turtle is the name of the Five Elements Primordial Turtle. The Five Elements Primordial Turtle's talent for cultivation is not considered good. The reason he was able to cultivate to the middle stage of the third level is because his lifespan is long enough.

Even now, the old tortoise still has more than four thousand years of life left, far exceeding that of Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu.

For this reason, Turtle Elder cherishes his life more than other demon beasts. Even if Shi Ningyu doesn't use the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Curse to torture Turtle Elder, he will quickly agree to Shi Ningyu's conditions for the sake of his own life.

After following Shi Ningyu for some time, Turtle Elder had gained some understanding of her and knew that she was a third-level alchemist. As a result, he became even more respectful to Shi Ningyu.

This was his heartfelt respect!

He knew his talent for cultivation wasn't particularly good, and even though he had a long lifespan, he still wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

His cultivation has remained at the mid-stage of the third rank for hundreds of years, and there is still no sign of a breakthrough.

Shi Ningyu is a third-level alchemist. If Shi Ningyu could provide him with pills to aid his cultivation, the time it would take for him to break through his cultivation level might be greatly shortened.

"Old Turtle, you will lead the way to the Poison Swamp Immortal City!" Shi Ningyu said with a smile as she looked at Old Turtle.

Elder Gui's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the third rank, and he has extremely strong defensive capabilities. With him leading the way, he can block out many dangers.

The Purple Flame Firebird excels in speed and combat power, and as a fire-attribute monster, the environment of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp will weaken its strength to some extent.

"Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely lead the way carefully," the old turtle said gently.

Old Gui completely regarded himself as Shi Ningyu's old servant, respectfully addressing Shi Ningyu as Miss and Lu Cheng'an as Young Master Lu.

Que Yun disapproved of Gui Lao's sycophantic behavior, but dared not show it due to Lu Cheng'an's tyrannical power.

"We'll rest here for a while and then enter the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp tomorrow. You should also go and rest!"

Shi Ningyu did not let Turtle Elder enter the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp to explore the way. After letting Turtle Elder go down, she and Lu Cheng'an found a soft grassy area and began to meditate cross-legged.

The old turtle remained in the Sky Palace, his magical power undiminished. He conscientiously took on the task of guarding the palace, vigilantly watching the surrounding movements.

Lu Cheng'an and his group are currently dozens of miles away from the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp. The spiritual energy here is relatively thin, and there are no powerful demonic beasts.

After nightfall, the world was pitch black, as if covered by a thick layer of black silk.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu sat cross-legged in meditation not far from each other, Que Yun was adjusting his breathing a dozen feet away, and Gui Lao was dozing off with his back against a big tree not far from Shi Ningyu.

As night deepened, several whooshing sounds rang out, and six beams of light flashed in the pitch-black night, rapidly approaching the place where Lu Cheng'an and his group were resting from the depths of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were incredibly perceptive; their spiritual senses could probe a range of nearly a hundred miles.

The two of them quickly discovered the existence of the six beams of light and detected that they contained six cultivators at the Golden Core stage!

"Kill the men, suppress the women, and take them back for proper sexual stimuli!"

The six Golden Core cultivators were incredibly fast, appearing in the blink of an eye less than ten miles from Lu Cheng'an and his group.

At this moment, they let out a lewd laugh and attacked Lu Cheng'an and his group.

The six Golden Core cultivators were led by two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators. They were both rogue cultivators who gathered in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp to become bandits, specializing in robbing cultivators who entered the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

The individual strength of these six people is not particularly formidable, but the combined power of the six of them is extremely terrifying.

They once joined forces to kill a lone late-stage Golden Core cultivator, earning them an extremely fearsome reputation in the Poison Swamp Immortal City, where they were known as the Six Bandits of Miasma Bamboo Island. Miasma Bamboo Island is an island in the Myriad Poison Swamp. The island is not large, but it is covered with a large number of miasma bamboo.

Miasma bamboo is a very common type of spiritual bamboo on Wandu Island, and its growing area is covered with a large amount of green bamboo miasma.

The poisonous gas contained in this miasma is not fatal, but it has an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect.

These six bandits have been entrenched on Zhangzhu Island for many years, making it impenetrable. Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage have difficulty breaking through Zhangzhu Island's defenses.

Moreover, these six bandits were extremely cautious, choosing only cultivators with little strength as their targets, and never provoking any powerful enemies.

The reason they attacked Lu Cheng'an and his group at this time was because of Qiao Dongsheng, a Golden Core cultivator among the six bandits.

Qiao Dongsheng ranked last in strength among the six bandit cultivators, but he was skilled at raising demonic beasts. The most famous of the demonic beasts he raised was a small demonic bird called the Cloud Bird.

The Cloud Bird, a type of demonic bird, is not of high rank; at most, it can only grow to the second-tier upper grade.

Qiao Dongsheng raised an entire flock of cloud birds, numbering in the hundreds, of which more than twenty had reached the second rank, and the bird king's cultivation was at the mid-second rank.

These cloud birds are scattered throughout the Wan Du Swamp, and the six bandits of Zhangzhu Island rely on them to gather information.

After Lu Cheng'an and his group arrived at the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, they were spotted by the cloud birds raised by Qiao Dongsheng, who then immediately relayed the news to Qiao Dongsheng through various channels.

The six bandits quickly determined that Lu Cheng'an and his group were unfamiliar faces and could not possibly be cultivators from the Suspended Mirror Sect or the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Therefore, after discussing it, the six bandits decided to kill Lu Cheng'an and his group!
Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had already discovered the existence of the six bandits on Zhangzhu Island. After reminding Que Yun and Gui Lao, they launched the first attack on the six bandits.

Shi Ningyu directly unleashed the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm, a secret technique for slaying the soul, to attack the soul of one of the mid-stage Golden Core cultivators. At the same time, she summoned the Jade Cloud Sword and stabbed it at the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

These rogue cultivators were all from independent cultivation backgrounds, and their strength was far inferior to that of cultivators from established sects, let alone the Azure Flame Lion, who was the son of the Demon King.

The mid-stage Golden Core cultivator who was attacked by the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm was completely unable to withstand the attack of this divine soul technique. In an instant, his divine soul was severely damaged and he suffered extremely serious injuries.

At that moment, the Jade Cloud Sword pierced the chest of the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, directly piercing his heart and ending his life.

"Second brother!"

"Second brother!"

The other five bandit cultivators were shocked and furious when they saw Shi Ningyu kill the mid-stage Golden Core bandit cultivator so quickly.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an attacked another mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

If Shi Ningyu had not practiced the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm, a secret technique for attacking the soul, Lu Cheng'an's combat strength would have been greater than Shi Ningyu's.

After all, he had cultivated the three minor supernatural abilities—the Returning to Origin Fire Fiend Seal, the True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique, and the Returning Fire to Heaven Technique—to perfection.

When Lu Cheng'an made his move, he used the Returning Origin Fire Fiend Seal to attack the mid-stage Golden Core bandit.

The fiery red seal was covered with runes, and a violent power surged within it. Once the power contained within exploded, it would definitely be able to severely injure a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

After sensing the terrifying power contained within the Returning Origin Fire Fiend Seal, the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator's expression changed slightly. He struck out with his palm, and the dark black water vapor condensed into a huge palm print to meet the attack of the Returning Origin Fire Fiend Seal.

This palm print is the Black Water Divine Palm, a third-tier technique practiced by this mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. This third-tier technique is quite powerful, and he has cultivated it to the minor completion stage!

Unfortunately, this third-tier technique was vastly different from the minor divine power, the Returning Origin Fire Fiend Seal. After the Black Water Palm Print collided with the fiery red magic seal, the dense water vapor and scorching heat merged, instantly evaporating into endless white mist.

But in an instant, the black water palm print was shattered by the impact.

A solemn expression appeared on the face of the mid-stage Golden Core bandit. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and immediately gave the order to retreat.

He summoned a black array flag, and as the black array flag surged, surging water elemental power spread out, roaring and sweeping towards Lu Cheng'an's body.

When Lu Cheng'an saw the mid-stage Golden Core bandit cultivator unleash the black array flag, a faint smile appeared on his face.

This black array flag is of mid-grade third rank, and is indeed a powerful magic weapon.

But he wanted to use this type of magical artifact to test his True Fire Spirit-Suppressing Technique, which he had only recently mastered to perfection!

The True Fire Spirit Suppression Technique is a minor supernatural ability specifically designed to attack a cultivator's magical artifacts and treasures.

This minor supernatural power, when combined with Lu Cheng'an's Golden Core True Fire Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire, increased in power by more than 10%.

Pale blue flames surged from Lu Cheng'an's body, like layers of blue waves, roaring and sweeping towards the black array flag.

The water elemental power surging from the black banners melted instantly like ice and snow after being attacked by the pale blue flames.

In an instant, pale blue flames enveloped the black array flag. The flames then began to penetrate deeper into the black array flag, destroying the rune array inside.

"Damn it, my Blackwater Flag!"

The mid-stage Golden Core bandit cried out in despair. Although they had plundered a lot of wealth over the years, the Black Water Flag, a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon, was his most handy magic weapon, but now it had been destroyed like this.

After destroying the Black Water Flag with the True Fire Spirit-Suppressing Technique, Lu Cheng'an once again used the Returning Origin Fire Fiend Seal to attack the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Qiao Dongsheng and the other bandit cultivators at the early stage of the Golden Core realm had received orders to retreat. Without any hesitation, they flew towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

But just as their bodies flew a few feet away, they were stopped by the combined efforts of Elder Turtle, Sparrow Meteor, and Stone Condensation.

Elder Gui's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the third rank. He is very strong and is definitely not someone that these early-stage Golden Core cultivators can withstand.

Although Que Yun's cultivation level was at the early stage of the third rank, his strength was extremely formidable, especially since he also possessed a powerful Heaven-Burning Demon Technique.

Shi Ningyu's strength goes without saying; she just killed a bandit cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Although Shi Ningyu and the Turtle Demon were outnumbered, the four early-stage Golden Core cultivators were far beyond their ability to fight back; they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Que Yun's attack was the most ruthless. After unleashing his most powerful Burning Heaven Demon Technique, towering flames spread out, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

The early-stage Golden Core cultivator who was attacked by the Burning Heaven Demon Art was swallowed whole by Que Yun with a scream!
