Immortal Road.

Chapter 245 Pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger
Bursts of thunder were heard, accompanied by the sound of breaking air, and a gray rainbow light flashed by.

It stopped steadily where the two sides were fighting.

A young man in white stood in the air, with a gray halo under his feet. The gray light on the edge dissipated, and it was facing the dark clouds under the feet of the old man in black robe. They were all transformed by the magic power of the Jindan stage.

The old man in black robe stopped immediately and no longer cared about the formation. Instead, he turned around to face the person who came, his eyes full of vigilance.

After he stopped, everyone could see clearly that what had been attacking the formation were two long black iron chains. They were pitch black with an icy sheen. It was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary iron, but were most likely made of very rare spiritual materials.

At the end of the chain are two dark red diamond-shaped darts. This weapon was originally called rope darts or rope darts.

As a magic weapon, the chain can be stretched continuously, and its toughness and speed cannot be underestimated. It can sweep across and tie up the enemy. It has many combat techniques and basically no shortcomings.

After tying the two chains on his shoulders, he carefully looked at the newcomer. He found that the young man in white had a full forehead and bulging temples. It was obvious that he was quite proficient in spiritual consciousness, but he looked a little
Kidney deficiency?

The old man in black robe couldn't help but have a strange look on his face. He had already condensed the golden elixir, so logically he should be full of energy and have a rosy face. How come this kid was so weak at such a young age?

Not only was he as thin as a bamboo pole, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eye sockets were deep and dark. Only in his eyes was there a gleam of light that was so bright and intimidating, it was really strange.

Could it be that he has a serious illness or his foundation is damaged?
I thought of the words "When I looked for the ancient teachings, there was no one" I just heard, as well as the dark circles under the eyes and the thin body of the young man in front of me.

"Are you Elder Hei Ku of Xun Gu Sect?"

The black-robed old man from the Demon Sect asked a little uncertainly.

"Cough cough."

The young man in white couldn't help but cough twice, looking at the group of men in black in front of him with an unfriendly face, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

“Elder Hei Ku is the deputy leader and elder of my sect, and I am the leader of Xun Gu Sect!

Listen to me! I will not change my name or surname, my Dharma name is.
Uh, that."

Lin Shan suddenly began to stammer and was unable to speak for a long time.

If it were in the past, he would have just reported his real name, Lin Shan, but now that he is a Jindan Zhenren, he naturally has to report his Dharma name.

However, he had just made a breakthrough and had not yet opened the gates of the mountain to invite fellow practitioners to a banquet, to confirm and spread his new Dharma name. He just heard that a group of key members under his command were trapped. In addition, he was very weak and urgently needed a body-building method to relieve the pain, so as soon as he came out of seclusion, he rushed here day and night.

As for how to find this place, that is also very simple.

He had the Lingbao Xuxing Plate in his hand. He could just take the personal belongings of anyone in the sect and come to Jingchuan in the eastern part of Lu State. He could then lock onto the target owner within a thousand miles. It was not a difficult task for him to find someone.

However, when faced with the other party's questions, I couldn't give my name, which made me seem less imposing.

When the black-robed old man from the Demon Sect opposite heard this, he observed Lin Shan's general appearance and connected it with what the group of Xun Gu Sect disciples in the formation had just said. He immediately guessed that Xun Gu Sect originally had only one Jindan Zhenren, and that was Elder Hei Ku.

As for this young leader, he should be a rookie who just broke through the Jindan stage. I felt a little contempt for him for a moment.

"Your Excellency, have you just been promoted to the Golden Core Stage? You don't even have a Dharma name, yet you dare to come out and show off like this?"

Lin Shan's face twitched when he heard this. Since he couldn't hide it, he immediately asked the other party:
"So what? Who are you and why are you leading a team to attack my disciples?"

The old man in black robe raised his chin, with an innate superiority in his bones, seemingly no less than he was in the past.

"I am Qiu Qianren, the guardian of Jiuyou Sect. My name is Green Demon. You must remember this!"

"Green Demon Master? Protector Qiu? Jiuyou Sect?"

Lin Shan secretly memorized these names, thinking of sending his men to find out what kind of force the Jiuyou Sect was after he returned. It sounded very powerful.

It’s just that the name of Green Demon Taoist sounds too rustic, and I guess he is not a core figure in the sect.

This is because the direct disciples of general large sects have the same generation name from childhood to adulthood, such as Lei Zhenzi, Lei Yunzi, Lei Yuzi, Lei Yinzi and so on of the Zixiao Sect.

And after they broke through the Jindan stage, they naturally inherited Buddhist names like Taoist Leiyun, Taoist Leiyu, and Taoist Leiyin. When others heard them, they knew that these were the core of the sect's true teachings and should not be provoked.

As for a person with a miscellaneous Dharma name like Dharma Protector Qiu, he is probably a marginal figure in the sect, who has worked his way up from being an outer or inner sect disciple, and inherited the Dharma name of an outer sect elder or Dharma protector who passed away.

As a result, Lin Shan's previously tense nerves relaxed a little, as long as he wasn't a tough guy.

Of course, courtesy is still required:
"So it's Brother Green Demon. I've heard of you for a long time. I wonder what the useless disciples of my sect did to displease you that they are so persistent?"

The black-robed old man, Protector Qiu, snorted coldly. Although there was dissatisfaction on his face, he did not rush to take action. After all, both of them were in the early stage of the Golden Core, and this kid gave people the feeling that his magic power was much stronger than that of the average person in the early stage of the Golden Core, which made him a little puzzled.

"Your men killed Lao Mo, who was a servant of my young master. Before I left, the young master specifically told me to bring Lao Mo back to Jin safely. Now there is only a corpse left. How can I explain this to you?"

"Oh? Young Master? Could it be the Young Master of Jiuyou Sect?"

Lin Shan was also amazed after hearing this. He didn't expect that Lao Mo, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, could be ranked high among the young master of Jiuyou Sect. However, this person actually dared to steal the "Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique" that he needed. If he died, he died. There was nothing to regret.

"My fellow Green Demon, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. On behalf of our sect, I express my deep regret for this matter and strongly condemn the murderer. How about we let it go?"

"What???"

The old man in black robe had his eyes wide open, as if he rarely saw such a shameless person. If he was not in the territory of the Confucian school in Lu State, he would have fought a big fight if he was in the sphere of influence of the demon sect in the past.

"Then did Lao Mo, my disciple of Jiuyou Sect, die in vain?"

Lin Shan looked innocent: "What else do you want?"

If he wasn't so weak now and just wanted to get the "Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique" back safely to solve the physical body training first, and didn't want to get into other troubles for the time being, if he was in such a bad mood, he would probably have a fight with the old man in black robe.

You have to know that after he came out of seclusion, he didn't even have time to check Gu Yun before rushing here. How could he have the extra energy to fight with others?

Besides, he had just broken through, and many of the Jindan stage methods were not yet complete. It was impossible for him to rush forward as soon as he met a Jindan stage cultivator of the same level. That would be either stupid or foolish.

You must know that the world of cultivation is so vast that there are many talented people. There are always people who are better than you. If you are arrogant and conceited, you will eventually suffer the consequences.

Therefore, Lin Shan was relatively cautious. After finding out that the other party had a background, he did not want to act rashly without knowing what that background was. As long as he could rescue his men and get back the secret technique, his trip would be considered a success.

The black-robed old man on the opposite side, Guardian Qiu, was observing Lin Shan's words and expressions, and had been testing him. He found that not only was Lin Shan a newbie who had just entered the Golden Core Stage, but he also seemed to be reluctant to conflict with him. He was a little eager to make a move. He licked his lips and glanced down with ill intent.

"It's not difficult to cover up this matter. You hand over the murderer who killed Lao Mo, and leave the body-building method behind. This way, I can give an explanation to the young master when I return, and everyone will be happy!"

"impossible!"

Lin Shan refused outright.

I don't care who you have to explain to. You can do whatever you want. If you dare to touch my "Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique", I will fight you to the death!
"Oh? No room for negotiation?"

"No negotiation!"

Lin Shan's tone was firm, completely different from his previous attitude of peace being the most important thing. This was his bottom line. However, for no reason, his head began to sweat again, his face turned pale again, and he took out a handkerchief and began to wipe his forehead.

He's really weak.
Everyone below had a strange look on their faces. How could you have the confidence to say such harsh words when you are so weak?

The mood of the guardian Qiu on the opposite side was up and down. When he saw the arrival of the Jindan Zhenren of Xun Gu Sect, he had been thinking of backing off and wanted to avoid making too much noise in the territory of Lu.

However, when he discovered that Lin Shan had just made a breakthrough and was not very brave to fight him, he became eager to try again.

When Lin Shan forcefully rejected his proposal and even threatened to fight, he became hesitant again.

Now seeing this kid looking so weak again, I am even more confused.

The atmosphere was so depressing that both the two men in the sky and the two men on the ground were waiting for each other to decide whether they would have a falling out or stop at the end.

A quarter of an hour later, Protector Qiu looked at Lin Shan carefully for a long time, and laughed twice for no reason, as if he had seen some clues.

"Haha, good boy! You almost fooled me!"

"I just used my secret technique and found that you are indeed out of energy and blood. I am afraid that something went wrong during your breakthrough and your foundation was damaged, right? In your current state, you don't stay in your lair to recuperate, but dare to come out and cheat. Aren't you afraid of a setback?!"

"It's a good thing that I'm not an ordinary person. I finally saw through your true nature. Don't even mention that you have a good acting talent and you pretend to be so good!"

"Why, do you want to fight with me?"

Lin Shan was speechless. What was he pretending for?

Kidney deficiency is a problem of the physical body, but he is in the Soul Pill Stage and relies on soul power, so it does not affect his combat effectiveness.

I didn't want to fight before because it was difficult to kill a Jindan stage cultivator of the same level, so I was too lazy to go through the trouble. I just wanted to get back the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique. I wasn't really afraid of this old man.

But what he didn't expect was that after he broke through this time, he accidentally gave people the illusion that his foundation had been damaged and he looked very weak.

It was not that he deliberately "played a pig to eat the tiger", but because the Soul Pill Stage practice method was too deceptive.

"Cough cough."

The next moment, Lin Shan couldn't help coughing twice again. His calves trembled, and he felt pain in his liver and kidneys, as if he would fall down if the wind blew.

Protector Qiu's eyes lit up!
My guess turned out to be correct!

This kid is probably just a weakling who looks good but is useless. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the weakest golden elixir in history!
It's a godsend!

He just made a breakthrough and is injured like this. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
When he thought about the fact that he could kill a Jindan-stage real person with his own hands, Protector Qiu instantly felt like he was injected with chicken blood. His blood boiled, his will to fight was surging, and his thoughts soared to the sky!

If he could kill this person in front of him, then as the leader of a sect, he would definitely have a lot of wealth, which could be described as a sudden wealth! On weekdays, there weren't many cultivators of the same level that he could bully, so how could he ignore the one he just encountered this time?

His hunched back suddenly straightened, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched out, his old face glowed rosy, black light emerged from his two skinny hands like old bark, his robe fluttered in the wind, and his long hair behind his head fluttered in the wind!
He immediately burned all the energy in his body and instantly returned to his peak state in his youth!
"Master Xun Gu! I have been through a lot in my life, but I have never met a rival who is truly my equal! Today we meet, and we are evenly matched. Do you dare to fight me?"

Lin Shan was stunned. Was this old man crazy? Why did he suddenly start burning his essence for no reason? How big of a grudge must he have? Was it really that serious?
are you crazy!

"Why did you do this, fellow Green Demon? You should know that it is better to resolve an grievance than to create one."

Lin Shan still didn't want to create any more trouble. After all, he had just made a breakthrough and didn't have a very good understanding of the enemy's combat power. He thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and it was better to be safe than sorry.

Mindless fighting is not his style. He has a lot of things to do, such as body building, golden elixir, soul treasure, soul fire, etc. How can he have time to fight with others?
But his kidney deficiency appearance is so deceptive that everyone would think he is a weakling and want to bully him. If they don't step on him, they would always feel regretful!

It's not that I want to fight, but you're such a weak Jindan stage warrior and you've landed right in my face. How can I not beat you up?

After all, Protector Qiu is old, so for the sake of safety he decided to burn his essence and restore to his peak state in his youth. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit!

"Since you don't want to hand over the murderer, then you can stay with me on his behalf!"

“Crash!~~~”

There was a sound of shaking iron chains, and Protector Qiu swung the two darts on the tips faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a whirlwind of fire wheels with only afterimages left, and then he swung his hand towards Lin Shan!
"咻咻～～～"

The iron chain behind the dart stretched infinitely, breaking through the air with an evil wind, and two black rays flashed by, so fast that people could not react in time.

However, Lin Shan had already applied the sap of the ancient Phantom Spirit Tree and evolved the Phantom Spirit Eyes, a magical eye that can see through illusions. His vision can be said to be better than most people. For the afterimages that were bursting into the sky, the real trajectory of the magic weapon was clearly visible to him.

It is impossible to just ignore it after seeing it. You can either dodge and run away, or intercept and fight hard. Lin Shan naturally chose the most brutal, effective and intuitive way of confrontation.

“Keng~~”

With a clear sword chant, an ancient water-blue magic sword appeared in front of his chest, spinning and tumbling in the misty water vapor, flashing a blue light.

Ever since this magic weapon was obtained from Master Turtle of the East Sea, it has only been used in hand to fight against the enemy. It was originally used as a vegetable cutting tool for close combat and sneak attacks.

This time, Lin Shan possessed the soul power of the Soul Pill Stage, and he truly activated this magic weapon for the first time. A gray torrent rushed into it, lighting up and activating the twelve levels of magic prohibitions inside.

"Bounce, jump, jump, jump."

The magic bans were lit up one after another, the blade of the Broken Water Sword was emitting clear blue light, mist and rain were everywhere, and the feeling of surging waves was faintly felt.

Then, the small sword trembled slightly, and under the control of Lin Shan's spiritual consciousness, it disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh" and turned into a blue light, facing the overwhelming black shadow.
