I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 173 Suppressing the Southern Qilin

Look at the situation in the sky. Thunder is like chains, spreading down from the clouds and penetrating deep into the earth. Even a fool would know that there must be something unusual after seeing it.

By then, I wonder how many experts from the outside world will come.

Especially Zhang Chen knew the true origin of the tomb. Would there be an old man who had lived for who knows how many years in it? Those would be the real big trouble.

Zhang Chen couldn't believe that the 'Emperor' doted on his daughter so much but didn't leave any means for her to protect herself.

Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the Soul-Catching Chains, so that when the time comes, I will be more confident when facing those old guys who have lived for who knows how many years.

Then Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the soul-catching chain:

[5th ​​skill (first level): Soul-catching chain (0/1000000)]

[Skill explanation: As long as the soul marked by your skill reaches its end of life, you can hook the soul of the other party regardless of the other party's cultivation level and the distance in time and space.]

【Note 1: It can hook the souls of all those whose life span has come to an end.】

[Note 2: It can hook all souls that use secret techniques to forcibly stay in the world and avoid death, and forcibly avoid the fate of the souls (those who have obtained elixirs to prolong their life are not included)]

……

[Note 4: You may not be able to kill the opponent by hooking his soul. Of course, the opponent is chained and cannot do anything to you. After three days, the skill becomes invalid and the opponent is sent back to his body by the law. You can use the soul-hooking skill once on the same soul within seven days.]

【Points: 1999400】

"If I set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, I can then lure the opponent's soul in..." Zhang Chen looked at his own skills, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind. This seemed to be the true use of his skills. The combination of skills was the real magical skill.

"The limitations of the Soul-Catching Chain are too great. I can only use it once on the same target within seven days. If I fail to capture the soul of the opponent once, once the opponent escapes, I can take over another body and be reborn, just enough to survive the seven days. Moreover, the Soul-Catching skill can only mark the soul of a person whose life span has reached its end. This limitation is extremely large."

"If you can upgrade it to the point where you can ignore all conditions and directly use the opponent's soul-sucking skills, that would be really awesome."

Zhang Chen took a look at his own cheating page, and the next moment he chose to upgrade, and one million points were directly deducted:
[5th ​​Skill (Level 0): ​​Soul-Catching Chain (10000000/)]

……

[Note 5: As long as you have marked someone, you can forcibly draw out their soul even if they have renewed their life.]

【Points: 999400】

Zhang Chen glanced across the skill panel. The first four skills remained unchanged, but the number five was quite different.

In the past, after being marked by Zhang Chen, the opponent would pass the test in seven days, and after the first seven days, he would be reborn and reincarnated, and his lifespan would be extended. Then, he would no longer be able to seduce the opponent's soul. But now it is different. Now, as long as you are marked by Zhang Chen before the end of your lifespan, even if you extend your lifespan again, you will be controlled by his skills.

"This is quite amazing!" Zhang Chen thought of the ancestor of the Pingbian Palace, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "It has been so long now, and I don't know if Zhang Shicheng's grandson is dead. If the old guy is not dead, I can hook his soul to the Nine Bends Yellow River Array and send him off so that he will no longer be alone on the road to the underworld."

Zhang Chen looked at his own combination of skills. Now his skills finally began to show their power, specifically to restrain those old guys who were about to reach the end of their lives.

“With the soul-snatching skill combined with the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, after entering the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter, even if a twelfth-level god comes, if his life span expires, I will kill him for you to see.” Zhang Chen was shocked.

However, when his eyes fell on the points after the second skill, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. The points required for another upgrade actually required 10 million! It increased tenfold.

"Sure enough, skill level cannot completely determine a person's strength. My soul-snatching skill may not be able to defeat even an ordinary person, but when facing an antique that can scare Yang Shen to death, it has a restraining effect like the law of cause and effect." Zhang Chen pondered in his heart.

"For example, that Zhong Xiang, although it is only at the fourth level, it gives Yang Shen a headache just by looking at it. It's totally unreasonable. The Heart of the Qilin, that thing can also be obtained by others? This guy is just cheating!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Then Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the immobilization talisman. The third-level immobilization talisman seemed to be insufficient, so Zhang Chen directly added points to upgrade it:
【8技能（三阶）：定身符（0/400000）】——>【8技能（四阶）：定身符（0/800000）】

【Points: 599400】

【Note 1: Can determine all fourth-order life forms.】

A simple overview, seemingly inconspicuous.

"It can freeze all fourth-level life forms. Zhong Xiang is only at the fourth level. Theoretically, it should be enough to assassinate Zhong Xiang. In fact, the safest way is to upgrade the immobilization spell to the fifth level. However, the fifth-level immobilization spell requires 800,000 experience points. I only have a little over 590,000 experience points left, so there is no chance for me to upgrade it again." Zhang Chen stared at the skill panel for a while, wondering where he could add the remaining 590,000 skills.

Upgrading the Light of the Righteous God requires 200,000 experience points, upgrading the Dragon Energy also requires 200,000, the Water Control Technique requires 100,000, the Qi Training Technique requires 4,000, the fourth-level Calming Character, and the rest of the talismans can all be upgraded.

"The fourth level of the Zhen character feels a bit insufficient. This Zhen character is very useful. Facing those guys who have immortal bodies and cannot be killed, it is definitely a magic weapon to defeat the enemy."

Zhang Chen decided to upgrade the town character.

[9th skill (Level 200000): Town character (9)] ——> [2000000th skill (Level ): Town character ()]

"The experience value has increased tenfold. It seems that the mystery of this Zhen character is beyond my imagination." Zhang Chen said to himself.

To upgrade from level 5 to level 6, two million skills are required. If you want to upgrade later, you need to enter the Tomb of the Emperor's Daughter to see the situation and see if you can collect enough experience points.

At this time, Zhang Chen still has 399,400 points left, and can still upgrade again.

The Blood Control Technique requires one million, so there is no need to consider it at this time. Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the Invisibility Talisman and the Light of the Righteous God. The experience value of upgrading the Invisibility Talisman only needs 80,000. The Invisibility Talisman is very useful, so Zhang Chen decided to upgrade the Invisibility Talisman first.

【11技能（四阶）：隐身符（0/80000）】——>【11技能（五阶）：隐身符（0/800000）】

[Note 1: You will gain the power of the fifth-level law of causality. As long as you use the invisibility spell, fifth-level monks will not be able to detect your form.] [Note 2: When you are still, you will not be touched by mysterious powers below the fifth level.]

"To upgrade from level 5 to level 6, it actually requires 800,000 points! And the skills don't seem to have any more uses." Zhang Chen glanced at the gold finger page, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. It seemed that his own gold finger saw that he had gained more and more skill points recently, and gradually turned into a gold-eating beast, constantly devouring Zhang Chen's skill points.

But the upgrade of the invisibility talisman to level 5 also made Zhang Chen feel relieved. Especially when he was still, he would not be touched by the mysterious things below level 5. Doesn't that mean that as long as he stood there, he would be immune to attacks below level 5?

This skill is quite awesome!

Zhang Chen felt that invisibility had great potential.

At this time, Zhang Chen still has 319,400 skill points left, and can also upgrade the Light of the Righteous God.

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and felt that his skills were now comprehensive and could be used on the Light of Righteous God.

【1技能（四阶）：正神之光—>自动巡航（0/200000）】———>【1技能（五阶）：正神符文（0/2000000）】

[Note 1: Mysterious runes are derived from your righteous divine light. You can imprint the runes on everything and break the one-day retention feature.]

Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger page with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. To be honest, he was a little disappointed because the retained runes were of little use to him.

At this time, Zhang Chen still had 119,400 skill points. Looking at the other runes such as the Wind-Fixing Talisman, Zhang Chen shook his head and had no intention of continuing to upgrade them, because he felt that the other runes were not very useful to upgrade, so it would be better to save the points.

"What are you thinking about?" The fox fairy Nannan saw Zhang Chen in a daze and asked.

He didn't know that in just these few breaths, Zhang Chen's strength had undergone a drastic change.

"I think you should take revenge as soon as possible. Look, I will capture the Southern Qilin Zhongxiang for you today to help you vent your anger and avenge your past hatred!" Zhang Chen said to the vixen.

"Don't be reckless. That Southern Qilin is not someone you can easily mess with..."

Before the fox fairy Nannan could finish her words, she had already been taken into Zhang Chen's dragon energy.

Zhang Chen stood in the open space, looking at Zhong Xiang and his group from a distance. At this time, everyone was cooking. Zhong Xiang sat under the shade of a tree, drinking tea with a smug look on his face. Guards were waiting on him carefully, and he boasted: "Master, you are really amazing. That god was like paper in front of you. He was completely vulnerable. You killed him in one encounter. I'm afraid your current strength is not far from being invincible in the world."

Zhong Xiang smiled smugly upon hearing this: "Ants are not worth mentioning. Such rats should be killed like chickens and dogs. They don't even deserve to have their names left behind."

When Zhang Chen heard Zhong Xiang bragging, his face suddenly turned black: "You bastard, you dare to brag in front of me, wait and see how I deal with you!"

He had seen people who pretended to be cool, but this was the first time he had seen someone who was so good at pretending. He actually dared to call himself a "rat" and said he was not even worthy of leaving his name. How could he tolerate this?
After Zhang Chen thought about it in his mind, the invisibility talisman was activated directly. It flew out of the green lotus and stuck to his body, then he slowly passed through the warrior blockade and walked towards the crowd.

Zhang Chen didn't dare to run fast, because if he moved too fast, it would cause air currents in the air, which would be a very obvious flaw for those strong men.

Zhang Chen walked slowly through the crowd. Although the soldiers had full surveillance of the surroundings, their positions were too scattered. After all, this group of people could not stand close to each other.

Zhang Chen walked through the crowd easily and came to Zhong Xiang. Zhong Xiang was unaware of the danger at this time. He held a teacup in his hand, sent away the guards, sat under a big tree with a smug look on his face, and muttered to himself: "I seem to have made the right decision to go north this time. Not to mention the mystery of this birth, the upcoming conference will be my whetstone. If I can refute Chen Sanliang, I will definitely be able to surpass Wolong and become the undisputed number one in the Confucian school."

As he gradually approached Zhong Xiang, Zhang Chen controlled the blood in his body, stopped his heart beating, and even stopped breathing. He slowly came in front of Zhong Xiang, and his fingers touched the back of Zhong Xiang's neck little by little.

It has to be said that Zhong Xiang is a child of destiny. He seemed to have sensed something was wrong at this moment, and looked around uneasily. However, the moment he turned back, his forehead directly hit Zhang Chen's fingers.

The immobilization talisman was activated immediately, and a golden talisman turned into a stream of light, which was directly imprinted on Zhong Xiang's forehead. Then Zhong Xiang paused, and the next moment, fire flowed in his body, and a scorching air burst out, attacking the immobilization talisman engraved on his forehead.

"The immobilization talisman can immobilize him for half an hour due to the impact of the power in his body." Zhang Chen looked at the flashing light on Zhong Xiang's forehead, a hint of pride appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the next moment he slapped the immobilization talisman down.

The word "zhen" turned into a stream of light and directly entered Zhong Xiang's body, transforming into a silver-white silk net composed of countless talismans, which locked all the orifices around his body and suppressed the power flowing in his body.

"Sure enough, no matter how powerful Zhong Xiang's flames are, as long as he doesn't have a chance to explode, relying solely on his own cultivation power, he is no more than a little brother to my Suppressing Talisman and Immobilizing Talisman. One of my Suppressing Talismans can suppress him for a day, making him unable to mobilize any power during that day, and he has no chance to activate any skills at all.

Then Zhang Chen slapped another invisibility talisman on him, and Zhong Xiang's figure disappeared immediately. The guards in the distance only felt a flash before their eyes, and their master was gone.

"Oh no! The master has been abducted."

At this time, a guard saw Zhong Xiang's figure disappear out of thin air and was so shocked that he shouted out immediately.

The guards were horrified. Their duty was to guard Zhong Xiang. If anything happened to Zhong Xiang, everyone would be buried with him.

"Quickly seal off the scene. It must be that the invisible alien is still alive and has caused our master to be ambushed."

A small leader immediately spoke up and proposed a countermeasure. Everyone formed a circle with the big tree as the center and surrounded the crime scene.

Even Zhang Chen couldn't help but sigh that as a guard who had undergone rigorous training, he had a quick reaction speed and had already prepared a way to deal with the situation.

"Everyone draw your bows!" the leader shouted.

The bowstring was pulled open, and the little leader looked at the encirclement with a serious face: "I know you are here. If you know what's good for you, quickly release my master, otherwise I will shoot you with arrows. Although you can be invisible, you can't avoid the rain of arrows!"

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the other party's reaction was, it was not as fast as Zhang Chen's.

Just when everyone gathered, Zhang Chen had already picked up Nan Qilin Zhong Xiang, and then passed through the gap in front of Zhong Xiang's eyes.
