Immortal Road.

Chapter 247: Strengthening Wind Escape
The situation became deadlocked again for a moment.

Protector Qiu used an iron chain to protect himself to prevent being attacked by Lin Shan's magic flying sword, and the other iron chain was nailed in the air by the magic golden lock, making it unable to move.

His green magic fire could not be used because his magic power was intercepted, so he could only stand there and stare.

Master Zhankong and others below were very talented lackeys. As soon as they saw the situation was saved, they immediately shouted:
"The leader is so powerful that he stands tall above all the heroes!"

The eyes of the disciples of Jiuyou Sect flickered as they quietly packed up their things, waiting for Protector Qiu to run away so that they could sneak away as well.

However, Protector Qiu did originally intend to evacuate. After all, he had lost his ability to attack. As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. Plus, this is the territory of the State of Lu. Not to mention whether he would be intercepted by local sects, the most important thing is that there is more than one Jindan Zhenren in the Xun Gu Sect!
He was afraid that Elder Hei Ku was also on his way. If he continued to wait like this, he would be in big trouble!

Since we can't capture the Xun Gu Sect Leader quickly, then we might as well retreat.

However, at the critical moment, Lin Shan's kidney deficiency recurred.

He was trembling and holding on there alone, his face twitching. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, it seemed that this kid was about to reach his limit?
Protector Qiu was struggling to make a decision as to whether or not he should continue fighting.

He was still worried, and repeatedly tested Lin Shan through secret techniques. He found that Lin Shan was indeed deficient in blood and had suffered serious loss of essence, and only then did he feel relieved.

good boy!
It’s really good!

I wonder how long you can hold on?
Dharma Protector Qiu knew very well that the secret method of overdrawing the body would not last long, and Sect Leader Xun Gu had just made a breakthrough and his foundation had been damaged, so he would be even less able to persist.

If he puts in a little more effort, this person will be exhausted to death.

By then, not only would he have killed a Jindan-stage immortal with his own hands, but he would also have given an explanation to the young master. More importantly, he would have obtained two magic weapons at once!

Recalling how he had taken great care of the old guardian of Jiuyou Sect until his death, and how he had been a loser for fifty years before he inherited the pair of magic weapons for dart-catching.

And now, as long as we can kill this Xun Gu Sect Leader, not only can we seize all his wealth, but we can also take his two magic weapons into our pocket!
If this isn’t getting rich quickly, what is?
You have to know that most Jindan stage cultivators may not be able to actually kill a being of the same level in their lifetime.

After all, when they reach this level, they basically have some talent and power. Let's not talk about whether they dare to kill indiscriminately. Even if they want to kill, they may not be able to defeat them, and even if they can defeat them, they may not be able to catch up. If they cannot eradicate the problem once and for all, it will become a big problem in the future!

What's more, he was just an inner sect disciple back then. He suffered a lot during the foundation-building period, and accumulated too many traces of failure to break through. As a result, he is still in the early stage of the Golden Core stage now that he is old, and his progress is very slow. This is because his early foundation was not solid.

In the early stage of the Jindan period, it is extremely difficult to kill a cultivator of the same level. So when he met a newbie like Lin Shan who had just broken through, he was very happy and thought it was a gift specially arranged for him by God.

Now we see that most of this kid's strength has been forced out. As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. How can we give up halfway?

Protector Qiu and Lin Shan were in a stalemate for a long time, so he gritted his teeth and decided to fight him to the end, forcing him to die of exhaustion!
This move is exactly what Lin Shan intended. Just fight, this is the territory of Lu State. You are a demon sect's golden elixir and you don't have any external help. Do you think I am afraid of you?

Besides, I have enough soul pill orifices. What a huge throughput that is ninety-nine and eighty-one orifices.

Wisps of grey air flowed in and out of the small holes on his soul pill, continuously providing him with soul power for his entire body. In terms of the quantity and quality of soul power, he was far superior to the Jindan stage magic power of Protector Qiu!
If I can't kill you by fighting with me,

The two men made up their minds and confronted each other in the air, starting to compete in magic power, each of them trying their best to control the magic weapon to fight.

……

Half a minute later, Lin Shan couldn't help coughing again, his eye sockets were sunken and his face was pale.

Protector Qiu was overjoyed, but he continued to compete without showing any emotion.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Shan's legs were shaking, his liver and kidneys were aching, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Protector Qiu became even more excited and secretly took the Demon-Restoring Pill.

Half an hour later, Lin Shan's lips were bleeding, and he was breathing heavily with his chest heaving.

Protector Qiu was secretly delighted and took out the spirit stone from behind to recover.

An hour later, Lin Shan began to stagger, as if he would fall down at the slightest gust of wind.

Dharma Protector Qiu was a little uneasy. His dantian was a little dry. After all, fighting against cultivators of the same level with magic weapons had consumed too much of his mana. He had to frantically swallow pills and absorb spirit stones while taking out a stack of soul-returning talismans to make do.

An hour and a half later, Lin Shan's whole body was shaking like a sieve, with dark bags under his eyes, but he was still directing the flying sword to attack.

Protector Qiu began to panic and was a little overwhelmed, but when he saw Lin Shan's dignified appearance, he felt that the other party was even worse than himself. As long as he could hold on to the end, victory would be right in front of him!

"It's almost time. He won't be able to hold on any longer."

Two hours later, Lin Shan looked tired and listless, but he was still controlling the flying sword in his hand, flying around Protector Qiu, looking for his weaknesses.

Protector Qiu's eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious, but he gritted his teeth and held on, staring at Lin Shan, waiting for the moment he fell!
"Soon. Soon this guy has reached his limit. I just need to outlive him."

For two and a half hours, Lin Shan kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief and felt very cold. This was an adverse reaction after kidney deficiency.

At this time, Dharma Protector Qiu had gone insane, with his neck stiff and teeth gnashing, and he began to overdraw the golden elixir in his body, squeezing it to generate his own essence to stimulate his magic power. This could be said to be damaging his own foundation, but he didn't care about anything else!

"I know, this guy must be squeezing out the golden elixir. It all depends on whose golden elixir is stronger, whose foundation and capital are greater. I don't believe that I can outlast a newcomer like you who just broke through!"

Three hours later, Lin Shan was still coughing and wiping his sweat, oblivious to the people around him, suffering from kidney deficiency alone.

Protector Qiu finally couldn't hold on any longer!
"Pfft~~~"

The old man vomited three liters of blood, the skin on his face suddenly became loose and sagging, and he instantly looked dozens of years older, turning into a dying man who was about to be buried.

He raised his eagle claws that looked like old tree bark and pointed at the young man in white opposite him with trembling hands.

"Why are you still holding on?"

Lin Shan was puzzled: "Why can't I?"

Protector Qiu's eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. The script should not be written like this!
why?
Why exactly?
Why doesn't this guy fall down?

Lin Shan felt puzzled. I was beating you so hard, why did you fall down?

You are such a fool. You are an old man who is about to die. Why don't you go back to enjoy your retirement instead of wasting time with a young man like me? Do you have the money to waste time with me?

Protector Qiu saw that Lin Shan was still as unafraid of boiling water and even had the energy to continue attacking him. He kept coughing while attacking and looked as weak as possible.

How could he not know that his opponent's weakness was probably not real but was performed for him to see? What's more important is that he actually believed it!

"You, you... you are cheating! You really have such good acting skills that you can trick me into fighting with you. You are worthy of being the leader of a sect at such a young age. Your mind is like a demon. I have no regrets for failing in this trip!"

After hearing this, Lin Shan stood there in a daze, not knowing what the old man was talking about.

How could I cheat? It was a fair fight from the beginning to the end. With your old arms and legs, you should be unable to outlast me, so you start to slander me for cheating?

Can't afford it, right?
Lin Shan started to get serious this time. He recalled the flying sword and activated the soul pill. He suddenly sprayed a few mouthfuls of divine energy on it. The magic flying sword immediately shone brightly, and its power increased dramatically. With a "whoosh", it shot out again.

The divine essence is the overdraft energy extracted from the soul after squeezing the soul pill, which is equivalent to the essence extracted from the physical body by squeezing the golden pill.

Soul essence and true essence are the products of the transformation of magic power in the soul infant stage and the primordial infant stage, and should not be confused with divine essence and essence essence.

The pressure on Protector Qiu increased dramatically. Even with the help of the green magic fire, the iron chain on his body was unable to resist the rapidly increasing power of the aqua-blue sword. He was chopped and vomited blood, and his face turned blue and white.

He had no choice but to turn around and try to run away. But at this moment, Lin Shan couldn't help coughing again, frowning and panting. He was really weak.
"cough cough"

"Fuck you! You're trying to trick me!"

Protector Qiu roared in grief and anger, flew into the air with his dart magic weapon, and fled into the distance.

As for the iron chain that tied Xukongzhu to his position, he didn't plan to keep it. His life was of course the most important thing at this moment.

Lin Shan didn’t know why the old man couldn’t afford to play, but it didn’t stop him from going after him.

If he doesn't kill this man, even if he seizes half of the magic weapon, he won't be able to take it and refine it because it belongs to someone else.

Magical weapons are different from magical instruments. You can easily use them by just snatching them because they carry the master's recognition property of the soul and essence.

Of course, if one possesses the true essence of the Nascent Soul stage, or has secret techniques specifically designed for stealing treasures, it is not impossible to rob a living person of his magic weapon. It's just that Lin Shan does not have such means now.

The two of them flew away in an instant, leaving only an iron chain dart hanging in the clouds in mid-air, while the golden lock magic weapon at the other end was still hidden.

The black-clad men of Jiuyou Sect who were scattered all over the mountains below, after watching the battle for three hours, immediately followed suit and fled in all directions the moment they saw Protector Qiu escape!
People in the evil world are like this. When the wind is with them, they work harder than anyone else, and when the wind is against them, they run faster than anyone else.

Some greedy guys even flew into the sky and tried to take away the dart-seeking magic weapon before leaving!
The Xun Gu Sect disciples who were resting inside the formation hurriedly stood up and rushed out shouting. While Mu Yan was directing his men to chase and kill them, he also flew into the sky to drive away the thieves who attempted to get their hands on the magic weapon.

But even if he didn't come, those people couldn't find the real body of the Phantom Golden Lock, and they couldn't take away any of the two magic weapons.

This is also the reason why Lin Shan dared to let this treasure stay here temporarily.

Master Zhan Kong and a group of formation master apprentices finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground together, exhausted. Setting up and maintaining the formation was really too exhausting.

……

On the other side, two rainbow lights, one black and one gray, flew rapidly across the sky.

The mountains and rivers below were changing rapidly, and the rivers, lakes and streams were like passing clouds and smoke. Rows of wild geese hurriedly screamed and tried to avoid the two rainbow lights, but they were also blown to pieces by the two rainbow lights, and their formation was disrupted.

Amid a flurry of flying goose wings and bird feathers, Lin Shan realized that he couldn't go on like this.

The Jindan stage cultivators use the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and their flying speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, so it is usually difficult to catch up with them.

As luck would have it, Protector Qiu was good at escaping. As he burned his essence and blood and overdrawn his golden elixir, his escape speed became faster and faster, and he could hardly catch up with him.

If Lin Shan broke through to the Jindan stage, he would be a cultivator of the wind and thunder attributes. With the Jindan stage mana plus the wind and thunder attribute skills, he might be able to catch up with the guardian Qiu who was fleeing ahead.

But he has currently broken through to the Soul Pill Stage, and has only completed the Golden Pill Foundation. The speed of his wind and thunder spiritual power cannot match the Golden Pill Stage's Rainbow Transformation Technique.

Therefore, if you want to catch up with Protector Qiu in front, it is obviously not feasible to use conventional methods.

Then we can only look at it from other angles and find other ways.

As for methods, he really has them, even more than one or two.

For example, once the sect's magical power "Thunder Storm" is used, with his current level of Soul Pill cultivation, he is probably far from the late Foundation Establishment stage. When he was dealing with the Jindan Zhenren of the Dai family in the Juesha Tiankeng outside Wangyue City, he could only barely summon four thunder tribulations to kill him with difficulty.

Once summoned now, with his huge soul power, it is very likely that he can summon the first nine of the "Thirty-Nine Thunder Tribulations" one by one at once. This is not an empty statement!

However, this method has risks. First of all, the two of them are now in pursuit, and my speed is not as fast as the opponent. If the first few thunders are blocked by the opponent, once it exceeds the range of his spiritual sense, the thunder tribulation magic will have no target to use.

To put it in layman's terms, it means losing the attack vision midway. That's roughly the logic.

After all, it is not a real thunderstorm from the sky, but a man-made magical spell that needs to be locked and guided by oneself.

The second method is to turn back now and suppress the magic weapon for darts that Protector Qiu left over there, and then use the sect's magical power "Seven Arrows Book" to curse him. Curse him for 21 days first, and if the curse doesn't kill him, continue to curse him!

However, this method also has its flaws. Although he can curse the guardian Qiu to be seriously injured or even to death afterwards.

But if the curse had not been cast, this guy would have already fled to the Demonic Kingdom, or even hidden in some demonic sect. Not to mention that I would not have been able to go there to inherit the estate at that time.

Just finding people is a problem!

The Xuxing Plate can only track targets within a thousand miles. Beyond this range, he needs to send his men to investigate everywhere to find out where the Jiuyou Sect is, how powerful it is, and whether he dares to break in.

Even if the old fellow Protector Qiu was not strong enough, he would not be able to withstand the curse and die after a few days. It would be troublesome if he died halfway. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for Lin Shan to find him.

However, the first two methods are not very reliable, so there is a third method, which is to directly use the enhanced panel, increase the speed, catch up with him and kill him face to face!

The only thing to consider is whether it is worth it.

It turned out that he had a high-level magic talisman in his hand - the "Wind Escape Talisman".

After a series of uses during the Foundation Establishment Period, it is basically on the verge of being scrapped. If it is strengthened into a minor magical talisman, I think the speed of the "Wind Escape Talisman" at that time will definitely be the best in the Golden Core Period!

But is it worth it to hunt down a protector named Qiu?
Lin Shan made up his mind after just a moment's thought.

Of course it’s worth it!

Anyway, the Wind Escape Talisman is not a disposable item, but a means that can be used repeatedly. Now that he has entered the Soul Pill Stage, it is time to get himself a new life-saving trump card.

Since it will have to be strengthened sooner or later, why not use it sooner and enjoy it sooner?

Moreover, he was also very envious of the pair of magic weapons for darts that Protector Qiu had, as well as the green magic fire on his body.

The old man has already exhausted a lot of energy now. We should take advantage of his illness to kill him first!
As for the Jiuyou Sect behind him, who cares? I have offended him, so I have offended him. He speaks as if letting him go can resolve all the grudges. The right thing to do is to cut the grass and root it out.

Lin Shan didn't care about the trivial matters at this time, and directly found the Wind Escape Talisman in the storage bracelet to strengthen it.

He could feel the lines and rules inside converging together, and countless wind spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and swarmed into his storage bracelet. In an instant, he was surrounded by the wind spiritual energy in the world, and because of the excessive density, his rainbow light was dyed green!

The speed also increased dramatically!
Protector Qiu, who was fleeing in front, glanced back and was horrified. He wondered what kind of wind magic Lin Shan was casting to make his escape light so fast!
In a hurry, he continued to squeeze his golden elixir, feeding himself a steady stream of life essence. Because he used too much force, the golden elixir even had a few cracks on it, but he didn't care about that at all.

Behind him, Lin Shan's enhanced panel in his eyes had been changing with light and revealing new information during the pursuit.

"Shu~"

Lin Shan's figure suddenly dissipated, like a handful of sand, disappearing in the wind without a trace.
