Immortal Road.

Chapter 202 The emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse again. From the moment Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family took out his life-saving magic weapon, the small golden lock, to the moment he nailed the five ghost generals to the spot, and finally to the moment he consumed his essence and forcefully killed the leading ghost general, all happened in a short moment.

"Dingling bell~"

The little golden lock uttered a wail, and Dai family Jindan Zhenren quickly sent it back to his dantian, feeling even more furious.

Before the natal magic weapon can be completely cultivated, it needs to be nurtured and stored in the Dantian with blood, sweat and true energy. The time period depends on the potential of the natal magic weapon.

For example, the golden lock of Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family was originally a magic weapon with twelve levels of magic prohibitions. It would take about twenty-four years to be nurtured in the dantian before it could be completely connected with the heart and soul. If it were changed to thirty-six levels of magic prohibitions, it would take a full seventy-two years.

Although it would take a long time, it was not unacceptable for the lifespan of a Jindan stage cultivator.

As long as the nurturing and refining is successful, not only can it exert 120% of its power in the future, but as long as he himself does not die, even if this magic weapon is taken away, no one else will be able to refine and use it.

Only then will it truly be his own magic weapon.

But now, at the critical moment of life and death, he had no choice but to use the golden lock to rescue himself in advance, which meant that the previous few years had been wasted. Not only did he need to be nurtured all over again, but because of the interruption of nurturing, his own soul and blood essence also backfired instantly. He could not help but cough up blood again.

At this time, without the restriction of the golden lock, the remaining four ghost generals resumed their actions and surrounded and beat up the Dai family's Jindan Zhenren again.

But this time, no matter how they attacked, they were easily blocked by the Black Umbrella magic weapon. The leading Jindan stage ghost general was blown up, and the five ghosts' combined attack technique was broken. Not only did their power drop greatly, but most importantly,
The magic weapon Broken Water Sword also fell into the hands of the enemy!
Without the threat of magic weapons, the four ghost generals could not break through the black umbrella's defense at all, and the pressure on Dai family's Jindan Zhenren suddenly decreased.

At the same time, Dai Family Jindan Zhenren looked at the newly seized magic weapon in his hand, urged his consciousness to rush into it fiercely, and directly crushed Lin Shan's traces of sacrifice. Feeling the abundant forbidden power of this magic weapon, he couldn't help laughing:

"Great, great! I didn't expect that in such a desperate situation, there would be a sudden turn of events, and good times would come!
With this attack magic weapon, plus the defense magic weapon handed down from my ancestors, after more than ten years, the magic weapon of illusion will be successfully nurtured, and I will be able to be called a master in the Jindan stage!"

"After I broke through the Golden Core Stage these years, I have been running around visiting relatives and friends, spending countless favors from my ancestors and selling off a lot of inheritance from this line of my clan to create this twelve-forbidden life treasure. Now I am completely penniless. I didn't expect that someone would send me a pillow when I was sleepy!"

"You two are really my lucky stars! Not only did the Lin's Chamber of Commerce stay, but you also gave me an offensive magic weapon for free. It's really a blessing and a curse."

"I really have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, how could I have such an opportunity? There are masters of formations and business experts among you. I am even looking forward to what kind of legacy you will leave after your death."

……

Although Dai family Jindan Zhenren was seriously injured, he was in high spirits at the moment, holding a black umbrella in one hand and a sword in the other. The four Jindan stage ghost generals above his head were attacking crazily, but he was strolling in the garden as if nothing had happened.

Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord were very disappointed. They didn't expect that the leader of the Jindan-stage ghost generals was killed and even the magic weapon was lost. The good situation was reversed by the opponent. They racked their brains but never expected that the Dai family Jindan Zhenren, a newbie who had just entered the Jindan stage, would be so powerful.
There are actually two magic weapons! And a life magic weapon! This is too well hidden!

Dai Jia Jindan Zhenren glanced at the Yin Sha gathering in the distance. He knew that it was the leader of the ghost generals who was just defeated by him who was re-condensing. As long as the Five Ghosts Yin Sha Formation was backed by the evil pit and the evil energy provided continuous support, the five ghost generals could be resurrected even if they died.

So he ignored the other four ghost generals, but came to the edge of the formation and began to violently attack the light curtain of the formation. As long as he broke this fatal formation, the ghost generals inside would be destroyed without an attack, and the two people outside the formation would be unable to escape.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

There were loud explosions and the light curtain of the formation shook, but the opponent's black umbrella magic weapon remained motionless. The four ghost generals could only tickle the opponent in vain and could not pose a threat like before, and naturally could not stop the opponent from breaking the formation.

The Black Skull Demon Lord increased his overdraft of soul power, the soul fire in his head was still burning, and he tried his best to maintain the Five Ghosts Yin Evil Formation, but the situation on the field was already very clear.

“Don’t struggle. You two little Foundation Establishment stage guys can work together to force me to this point. You should be proud of yourself if you tell others about it.”

"You can only blame your bad luck. It's your bad luck to have met me. Remember to be born into a good family in your next life!"

"Once the formation is broken, I will choose a decent way for you to die."

Dai family Jindan Zhenren spoke in a leisurely and relaxed tone. While defending and breaking the formation, he did not forget to mock the two people outside the formation.

Anyway, he was not afraid of the other party escaping. With the escape speed of a Jindan stage cultivator, these two people could not escape at all.

Besides, I just took away their magic weapon, and their breath is still on it. I can completely lock on to them with this and chase them to the ends of the earth. This time I can be completely sure!
The Black Skull Demon Lord also thought of this and lamented his bad luck in his heart.

Originally, with the "Phantom Spirit Heart-Stirring Formation" in place, the two of them could attack or retreat, and the enemy was trapped in the illusion formation and had no chance of contact with the "Five Ghosts Evil Formation" outside. They were inherently invincible.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Due to Lin Shan's aiding the enemy, all arrangements were restrained by the enemy. It was extremely unlucky and the chain formations lost their coordination effect.

Unexpectedly, this ambush on the Jindan stage cultivator not only failed, but also its life and Lin Shan's life would be lost.

It would be fine if its clone died in another world, but if Lin Shan died, wouldn't the innate spiritual treasure Xuxing Plate fall into the hands of the other party? I have been patient for so long, am I just making wedding clothes for others?

The more the Black Skull Demon Lord thought about it, the more anxious he became. While maintaining the formation, he shouted into the formation:

"Master, please wait. I have something to say to you. Can we sit down and talk in detail?"

Dai family Jindan Zhenren sneered, and continued to break the formation regardless of anything. He had no intention of delaying with it. The Five Ghosts Yin Evil Formation was crumbling under his attack, and the light curtain changed with a "crackling" sound.

At the critical moment, the Black Skull Demon Lord was in a state of panic, and he lost all his shamelessness and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty has infinite magical powers, and we two are blind and ignorant. Our previous offense was like hitting a rock with an egg. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy!"

Dai Family Jindan Zhenren raised his lips. Now the situation has changed, and he couldn't help but tease: "You two were sneering and mocking before, why are you so arrogant and respectful now?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord lowered his head humbly and said, "We were blinded by greed and spoke nonsense in a moment of confusion. Please don't bear it in mind, Master. Now I am willing to do as you said before and serve you like a dog and a horse. I only ask you to give us a way out!"

Ever since he came to this world and accidentally discovered a precious innate spiritual treasure in the hands of a small figure like Lin Shan, the Black Skull Demon Lord has been enduring humiliation and longing to break free from his shackles. In the end, he turned the tables and took back the treasure.

Now that the script is about to deviate from his expectations, he has no choice but to think about saving Lin Shan's life first and hiding the innate spiritual treasure from the opponent, so that he can take it back when the opportunity arises.

However, the Dai family's Jindan Zhenren on the opposite side seemed to have come to his senses. He had no intention of pretending to be nice to them. He had the advantage in hand and just attacked the formation fiercely, saying decisively:

“Don’t worry, little skeletons. You will definitely die today! With my identity as a real person, I can easily find two-legged followers. Do you really think I need you? I was just teasing you before, hahahahahaha”

The soul fire of the Black Skull Demon Lord flickered, and it was obviously on the edge of its limit. It was more anxious than Lin Shan, fearing that all its plans would go to waste:
"Master, you are wrong. I have the accomplishments of a master of formations. I can become your capable assistant in the future and bring you endless connections."

"No need. Who allowed you to humiliate me like that before? You are just a master of formations. Kill me if you want."

"Your Excellency, I am not only a master of formations, but also a master of refining equipment. I can also refine magic weapons for you in the future, and upgrade, maintain, repair and improve them. From now on, I will follow your lead!"

"Hmm? Master of Weapon Refining?!"

Dai Family Jindan Zhenren was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but take a closer look at the skeleton monster outside the formation. Seeing that it was extremely difficult for it to support the formation, and the soul fire in its skull became dimmer under his attack, he couldn't help but slow down his movements and hesitated. Seeing that there was a chance, the Black Skull Demon Lord immediately tried his best and demonstrated in many ways to prove that he had the ability of a master of weapon refining.

Seeing this, Dai Family Jindan Zhenren nodded. The weapon refining master was a real money-maker in the cultivation world, but he was killed by his attack formation. It was such a pity:

"Well, I will forgive you for what happened and spare your life!"

"Then I'm by your side."

"As for the boy next to you, he humiliated me before, so he must be killed as soon as possible!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord quickly pleaded for Lin Shan: "The Prime Minister is very magnanimous and generous. Please spare him for my sake!"

"You have the talent for refining weapons and formations, so I can spare your life. But what is he capable of?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord glanced at Lin Shan and found that this kid was not afraid at the moment, nor was he angry about losing his magic weapon, the Broken Water Sword, nor was he worried that the formation was about to be breached and his life was hanging by a thread. Instead, he was watching the show thoughtfully.

I have to say, you have a really big heart!

In its heart, it hated the fact that it didn't fight back, while it stammered:
"Well, he actually has some skills."

"for example?"

"Uh, for example."

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord stuttered. After thinking for a long time, he could not think of any advantages of Lin Shan. In his eyes, Lin Shan had many disadvantages: he valued money more than his life, he was noisy, he had a bad constitution, he was a black-hearted capitalist, he was possessed by a drama queen, he turned his back on people, and he pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger.
Of course, these cannot be said.

"Well, actually he... Oh, that's right. He has a talent for business. He is actually the one who has been running the Lin's Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord reluctantly attributed all his credit to Lin Shan, feeling inexplicably aggrieved. I have sacrificed too much for you!
Dai family Jindan Zhenren shook his head after hearing this. He was not very impressed with this "business talent". It seemed that he had felt that this guy named "Xiongshan Shangren" was unpleasant when he was at the high-end trade fair that year. Now, he wanted to settle all the new and old grudges and was determined to kill him.

The Black Skull Demon King was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, begging desperately and almost kneeling down. It was just like the eunuchs who were more anxious than the emperor. In order to save Lin Shan's life, he gave up all his dignity and only hoped that the innate spiritual treasure would not fall into the hands of the enemy.

That’s right! In its eyes, the Virtual Star Disk had long been its treasure, and Lin Shan was just keeping it for it temporarily.

But Dai family Jindan Zhenren refused to agree no matter what. Today, not only was he ambushed by these two guys and beaten up, but his life magic weapon was almost damaged. More importantly, he would feel very upset if he didn't kill someone.

People who practice Taoism emphasize "clear thoughts and smooth Tao heart". Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family decided to leave the skeleton monster behind and kill the guy named Xiongshan Shangren directly.

Seeing that the situation was beyond redemption, the Black Skull Demon Lord finally couldn't hold it anymore!
It pointed at the Dai family Jindan Zhenren in the formation and roared for the first time in history:

"We two will live together and die together! As long as I am alive, loyalty is my priority. I will risk my life for my brothers. If you don't let me go today, I will die with you!"

Dai Family Jindan Zhenren also became angry. He was not threatened at all and snorted coldly:
"Okay! I originally valued your talent and was going to give you a chance to live. Since you value loyalty so much, then you two should die together!"

"Boom boom boom~~~"

After saying that, the Five Ghosts Yin Evil Formation began to shake again. This time, Dai family Jindan Zhenren did not hold back and planned to kill the skeleton monster directly. Although he was a talent, what was the point of keeping him if he could not use him for his own benefit?
It's just that this is the first time I've seen such a loyal skeleton monster in my life, and I still feel quite strange.
Aren't skeletons, yakshas, ​​zombies, and evil spirits all synonymous with insidiousness and cunningness? Why are they still willing to do it?
The Black Skull Demon Lord stared at the figure in the formation. The soul fire in his head was like a candle in the wind, but a huge aura around him gradually began to revive, as if he was really going to use some shocking forbidden technique to achieve a mutual destruction.

"You forced me to do this! I didn't want to do this, why did you force me?!!!"

The light curtain of the Five Ghosts Yin Evil Formation suddenly solidified, and all the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be directed, forming circles of whirlwinds and began to spin "whoosh!"!
A shocking momentum rises into the sky!

The Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family who was in the formation felt this power and his face changed instantly. If he remembered correctly, this was the "momentum" that controlled the power of heaven and earth!
This skeleton monster, could it be that the real body is a powerful being in the Nascent Soul stage?

“This demon king actually didn’t want this to happen. Before I even got the innate spiritual treasure, I was forced to rely on the power of Hell to save the situation because of the contract with the savior.

After this sacrifice, I am afraid I will be dragged into hell and completely out of this world. It is really fate that plays tricks on me! ~~~"

The Black Skull Demon Lord stopped pretending at this time. Black beams of light shot up into the sky, rows of waves spread out in all directions, and thick black clouds were steaming around him. At this moment, he looked like a demon king!
It thought that it had reached the end of its rope and that everything had been finalized and could not be reversed, so it simply threw everything out. The Dai family Jindan Zhenren in the formation was in shock and confusion, wondering what the "innate spiritual treasure" it was talking about was.

"What a pity! This clone can only hope to escape from the golden page of the contract if his cultivation is restored to the Nascent Soul stage. Following this brat, not only will I have a lot of troubles every day, but I will also encounter all kinds of natural and man-made disasters. I am so unlucky that I don't think I will live to see that day!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord looked miserable, but his aura was still accumulating around him. A huge pressure filled the world, and the Dai family's Jindan Zhenren in the formation was stunned!
"It's time, it's fate! I got into trouble with such a calamity, and I even signed a soul contract with him. I didn't get the innate spiritual treasure, but was haunted by the weirdness. I didn't get to eat the mutton, but got a lot of trouble. I hate it so much!!!"

A terrifying tall shadow appeared behind the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. It was a Dharma image that could only be summoned in the Nascent Soul stage. It looked like a skeleton sitting on a throne. At this moment, it finally revealed its terrifying fangs!
Dai Family Jindan Zhenren was so frightened that his soul left his body! He looked at the skeleton monster outside the formation that had just kowtowed to him, and now it had transformed into a prehistoric giant crocodile in the Nascent Soul stage, and said that it wanted to die with him!
Oh my god, boss, is it that serious?

The question is, am I worthy?
The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to still be attached to this world and didn't want to end this journey to another world so hastily. He took a complicated look at the brat beside him. This guy was still so heartless at this time. This Demon Lord is really worried about you!

"Brother, I helped you this time, and this clone has completely disappeared. If you grow up and have the ability to travel across boundaries, don't forget to go to the Hell World to repay me. This is a life-saving favor!

It wouldn't be too much to give me an innate spiritual treasure then, right? Don't forget, this is the fifth world of hell, Skull Demon Ridge, I'll be waiting for you there."

As its skeleton gradually became illusory, as if it was burning all its soul to deliver the final blow, a sound finally came from the side that had been silent.

"No need!"

Lin Shan rejected it outright and disdainfully pushed away the bony claws that were trying to rest on his shoulder, feeling confused by this hypocritical sentimentality.

Repaying a favor?
Do I need to repay a favor?
Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon and I don't have any other cards?
Besides, the Virtual Star Plate is my treasure, what are you yelling about?

And as my subordinate, who allowed you to use forbidden techniques and die together with me?

A worker’s soul, you will be my worker all your life!

"Please take away your forbidden technique and watch me carefully!"

Lin Shan had been watching the show outside the formation for so long, and finally stood up for the first time. He didn't do anything, just raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Rumble--"

In the distant sky above the nine heavens, a pool of golden thunder slowly emerged.
