Immortal Road.

Chapter 275: The Righteous Leader
"Keng~"

A crisp scream was heard.

The white light returned empty-handed and failed to cut through the Lingjian Qinggu Rock in one fell swoop.

It turns out that the connection between the cliff and the spiritual material is also spiritual gold and spiritual iron. Because it is often soaked in the essence of all parties, its hardness is also quite extraordinary.

Zhong Shenxiu was caught off guard for a moment and only made a sneaky attack, but he failed to cut off the spiritual material in one go.

This action instantly angered Master Hui Chang and Taoist He Yu, and they both roared and attacked at the same time.

Zhong Shenxiu had no choice but to join forces with Young Master Jiuyou to fight, and this time the fight escalated into a four-person brawl.

Master Hui Chang and Taoist Yu, who had been fighting each other fiercely before, now united as one and joined forces to fight the enemy.

However, because they had consumed too much energy before, they were in a weak state at this time. They were suppressed by the two young men and showed signs of exhaustion.

The folding fan in the hands of the young master Jiuyou immediately revealed its extraordinary power. Every time it was waved, there would be gusts of cold wind, which was bone-chilling, corroding people's flesh and blood and dissolving their essence.

The key is that this fan can not only be used to cast spells remotely, but can also be thrown out and used as a weapon.

The seven bamboo sticks on the fan that hold up the cloth can be extended and protruded, with sharp blades hidden inside. When they rotate, there is a sound of breaking through the air, which can cut the plum blossom rain that often falls on people into pieces.

It's like the cultivation world's version of "The Fatal Scholar".

Zhong Shenxiu then took out his gold-painted wolf-hair brush and began to paint in the air with flying dragons and phoenixes and splashing ink.

Not only was there a gust of dark wind in the canyon, but there was also heavy rain, which washed away all of He Yudao's jade smoke. The rain even penetrated the protective spiritual light and soaked them like drowned rats.

In less than half a cup of tea, the two men could no longer hold on.

They all look listless and pale, which is a sign of excessive consumption.

However, at this time they were still struggling, constantly sucking elixirs and spirit stones. He was unwilling to give up the treasure, so he secretly ordered his men to take the treasure while they were distracted.

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou were quite relaxed. While suppressing the two men, they saw their disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage trying to steal the treasure by chiseling against the cliffs one by one. So they simply activated the Tai Yuan Gui Zang Qi and Xuan Yin Fire and got rid of these small characters in a few moves.

Master Huichang and Taoist Yu were furious, their entire army was almost wiped out on this trip, and they were left alone, with the old sending off the young!

Somewhere outside the canyon.

The place where Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou were hiding has now been taken over by Lin Shan.

He looked inside secretly, and he was as patient as an old dog, with no intention of going out at all.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Now Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou are still full of energy. If I go out at this time, it will not bring any substantial benefits except disrupting the hostile relationship between the two groups of people.

Let them fight each other first. It is impossible that those two veteran Jindan-stage cultivators don’t have some tricks up their sleeves.

Sure enough, Lin Shan’s prediction was correct.

When the two veteran Jindan saw that they were defeated and their disciples were killed on the spot one after another, they were furious!

"Zhong Shenxiu! You killed the successor of my legacy. This feud is irreconcilable!"

"Wuyazi, I don't care where you come from, I will make you pay the price today!"

Master Hui Chang's beard stood up and he suddenly spat a mouthful of blood onto his magic weapon. His magic weapon was a pair of willow-leaf scissors as thin as a cicada's wings. At this moment, its power suddenly increased and it turned into two snakes that attacked from both sides.

Taoist He Yu's magic weapon was quite peculiar, it was a glazed jade lamp, there had always been a flickering flame in the lamp, but this time he directly adjusted it out, and when a strong wind hit, it burned more and more vigorously, and in the blink of an eye the sky was filled with sparks and stars.

At the same time, Master Hui Chang also took out green plums to restore his magic power. The "green plum wine" of Meihualin has always been famous in Lu State, but the output has always been very small, and he would never use it on weekdays. Naturally, he could not save it at this critical moment.

Taoist He Yu overdrew his body and circulated his mind quickly. His whole body was like colored glaze jade, and his face became numb and glowed. It seemed that he had made great progress in physical training and was planning to have a head-on fight with the two people opposite him.

The pressure on Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou increased dramatically, and they were at a disadvantage for a while, but they did not rush to use their best skills. Instead, they just took their time to waste time. Anyway, these two old guys had both been injured before, so there was no way they could outlast us.

The most important thing is that the two of them actually don't trust each other in their hearts. After all, they have only known each other for a short time, so how dare they rely on each other in the future?
What if the other party backstabs you?
Moreover, they do not want to reveal their cards too early. After all, there is still a long way to go. You know, unknown means are the basis of fear.

In the future, the two of them will inevitably become rivals. At that time, every trick they use will become the key to unexpected victory!
These two geniuses are both far-sighted people, so it is naturally impossible for them to reveal their own strengths and weaknesses to each other too early.

Moreover, they are well aware that once they reveal an ability, the other party will quickly find a way to crack it. If they respond accordingly, they will become very passive, so no one is willing to do anything new.

White light was flying around Zhong Shenxiu, and the Taiyuan Guizang Qi helped him resist Hui Changshang's double shears. However, because the opponent was spurting out his essence and blood without regard for the consequences, he was a little flustered.

"Brother Wuyazi, Master Huichang is extremely fierce, use whatever tricks you have!"

The young master of Jiuyou was holding a folding fan at this time, and he and the Taoist Jade, who was covered in jade, came close to him and fought hand-to-hand with him, intending to bully him with their skills and physical bodies.

He originally wanted to directly activate his Xuanyin body to fight the opponent head-on, but he wanted to hide his weakness and didn't want to expose it in front of others, so he could only dodge passively, looking a little embarrassed.

"Brother Zhong, what are you talking about? Taoist He Yu is like a mad dog. Whatever tricks you have, use them now!"

Neither of them was willing to use their full strength.

Instead, you are angry with Yu Dao Ren. You dare to call me a mad dog? Then I will go crazy for you to see!
Pieces of jade were thrown out continuously, as if this time they intended to use consumables without regard for the consequences and to achieve their goal in one go.

He absorbed wisps of "Jade Smoke" into his body, and his whole body became increasingly transparent and hard, as if it was a secret technique that complemented his martial arts.

Young Master Jiuyou waved his folding fan, but the sharp blade at the tip of the fan was unable to penetrate his jade body. It only left white marks on his body, which surprised him.

The opponent's fists and kicks were powerful and strong. Every leap and attack was in line with the rules and vaguely integrated. The master's artistic conception was revealed. It was obvious that He Yudao had a foundation in martial arts. Maybe he had dominated the martial arts world in the mortal world. At this time, combined with close combat, it produced extraordinary results.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for Young Master Jiuyou to resist. He was hesitant and struggling in his heart. He really wanted to stand up and fight, but Zhong Shenxiu had not made any rash moves yet, and it was not convenient for him to take the lead.

What's more, most of his strength is in magic, and to be honest, there are not many righteous means he can use without revealing his identity!

"Brother Zhong, come and help me. Taoist Yu and I are going crazy. What should we do?"

Zhong Shenxiu was so overwhelmed by Master Huichang that he could do nothing but sigh in vain.

"Brother Wuyazi, please forgive me. I am busy with my own affairs and cannot be distracted!"

The Young Master of Jiuyou was furious: "Brother Zhong is a proud immortal, how come he can't even deal with a mere official from the Huichang Sect?"

When Hui Changshang heard this, he immediately perked up and suddenly realized that he was beating up a genius of the immortal way. He became full of energy and his mood became cheerful, so he attacked even more ruthlessly.

Zhong Shenxiu secretly complained in his heart: "Brother Wuyazi, what are you saying? My past glory was just a flash in the pan, starting high and ending low. Since I broke through the Jindan stage, my foundation has been damaged. How can I compete with a veteran Jindan like Master Hui Shang?"

The more Master Hui Chang listened, the more proud he felt. He was so happy that every move he made was deadly. Suddenly, he felt his own magical powers were replenishing for no reason, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

Zhong Shenxiu knew that he had said something wrong, so he swallowed his anger, but he didn't want to lose the initiative to Wuyazi.

The young master of Jiuyou continued to fight among himself and argued with Zhong Shenxiu, and was always unwilling to use any means other than the usual ones.

He had his own little plans in mind. There were deeper reasons why he took the initiative to seek out Zhong Shenxiu to travel with him. He just didn't expect that this guy was so alert and was on guard against him just like Sect Leader Xun Gu.

At this time, Master Huichang and Taoist He Yu showed their prowess and dominated the limelight for a while. They subconsciously thought that the other two were just so-so. They began to have expectations for Lingjian Qingguyan again, thinking that they could compete for it again.

However, they ultimately overestimated their own fighting power and underestimated the abilities of the two young men on the opposite side. No matter how many tricks they used and how violently they attacked, the two were able to resist firmly with conventional means alone.

It seemed that Zhong Shenxiu was coughing continuously, his complexion was getting worse and worse, and he was so weak that he could not withstand any blow, but he still endured it all in the end.

Wuyazi seemed to be in a dilemma, but he was able to do a lot with his fan, and the Xuanyin Fire also relieved a lot of pressure. Time passed in a flash.

This time it took a full cup of tea.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining his clothes.

It’s neither Zhong Shenxiu nor Young Master Jiuyou.

But it was Mr. Hui Changshang who was just showing off his skills.

Because of his previous fight with Taoist He Yu and now his long battle with Zhong Shenxiu, he finally overdrew his magic power. His body could not bear the burden and he became the first to become weak.

It didn't matter that he lost his temper here, but the situation over there was similar to that of Yu Dao Ren, their conditions instantly dropped and their offensive slowed down visibly.

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou both breathed a sigh of relief. They had been feeling very aggrieved just now. They could have clearly counterattacked on the spot, but they had to take it head-on in order to guard against their own people. The fight was really frustrating. Not only did they suffer some injuries, but they also consumed a lot of mana.

Fortunately, everything is over now!
Watch until the clouds open and the moon shines!
Persistence is victory!

The two men then changed their defensive position and instead consumed their magic power to turn to a strong attack. Master Huichang and Taoist Yu were able to hold out with them at the beginning, but then it became increasingly difficult to deal with them. Their old faces turned pale and their hands and feet were cold. The feeling of the changing situation was indescribable.

The Master would often shout in frustration:
"If it wasn't for the fact that Brother Heyu and I were both injured, how could these two youngsters dare to bully me!"

Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou were even more frustrated:
"Even if you weren't with Taoist Yu, you wouldn't be worthy of being our opponent!"

On the other hand, Taoist Yu was more clear-headed. Seeing that at this time, the two opponents still did not use any other means, but just used a few moves back and forth to suppress them, he became inexplicably angry and shouted.

"Do you look down on us? Why don't you dare to show your full strength? Even at this time, you are still humiliating and making fun of us!"

Zhong Shenxiu had a tuberculosis attack, his chest heaving, and coughing unsteadily. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He was really weak!
Young Master Jiuyou was not feeling well either. If it weren't for Zhong Shenxiu, he would have used his magic power to kill everyone in sight!
The balance in the field kept tilting, and it seemed that Master Hui Chang and Taoist Yu were in danger and were about to lose the power to compete.

Zhong Shenxiu felt that the time had come, so he immediately freed his hands and once again activated the Taiyuan Guizang Qi, preparing to drill a hole in the wall to steal the treasure.

Young Master Jiuyou was very tacit and immediately restrained the two of them to buy time for him.

Lin Shan, who was outside the valley, saw this scene and knew that he could not hesitate any longer. Often a single thought could determine future gains and losses.

Originally, he did not expect that Master Chang and Taoist Yu could defeat the two geniuses. It would be enough to consume most of their magic power. Lin Shan saw this very clearly.

Right now, Young Master Jiuyou is holding back two old men, while Zhong Shenxiu is trying to seize the treasure alone. If he doesn't take action, he might be overtaken by others.

Moreover, Master Huichang and Taoist Yu are also strong fighters who can be utilized well. How can we just sit back and watch them get defeated?
"Hahahahaha!"

"It's just that you can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!"

"Lingjian Qingguyan, this thing is destined for me!"

Lin Shan jumped up, laughed loudly, and two beams of light, one gray and one blue, flashed past in an instant.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"Ding~~~"

The white ball of light was suddenly attacked, rolled a few times, and was knocked down onto the cliff on the other side.

The aqua blue light revealed its true appearance, and turned out to be a small sword magic weapon with an exquisite and gorgeous appearance.

"Who? Who is it!"

Zhong Shenxiu was furious.

Just when it seemed like the final step was about to be completed, someone suddenly appeared to pick the peaches?

The gray light stopped above the canyon, and a young man in white stood there with his feet on the gray rainbow, smiling.

"Lujiang Tianfu Mountain, looking for the ancient teachings of Linshan, I met fellow Taoist Zhong!"

"Looking for the ancient leader!"

Zhong Shenxiu's face changed drastically. This was a living genius like him, who could kill the guardian of Jiuyoumen as soon as he broke through the golden elixir stage.

Previously in Jiangning City, he teamed up with Shui Bingyue from Jingyang Academy to trick others, but he didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly.

"It turns out to be Master Lin. I didn't expect that we would meet here!"

The one who spoke was Young Master Jiuyou. His tone at the moment was mostly filled with surprise, but there was also a hint of delight hidden in it.

He was worried that after entering the forbidden area on the cliff, his Star Gate device inexplicably lost its sensitivity. No matter how he activated the Star Gate body, it was useless. He didn't know what method Lin Shan used to block his sensitivity. How should he find this kid?

Unexpectedly, he didn't need to worry, and this kid actually came to his door!

However, Lin Shan's fighting ability is not bad. He has learned from Zhong Shenxiu that this person is a true genius of the immortal way. If he wants to get the magic weapon back, he needs to plan carefully and wait for an opportunity to find a flaw.

But now that we have encountered it, we must find a way to keep a close eye on it.

"Why, Brother Wuyazi, you seem very happy to see me coming?"

Lin Shan looked over when he heard this, with a very confused expression on his face.

Young Master Jiuyou's heart tightened, realizing that he was almost exposed, and he quickly straightened his face.

"Master Lin, what do you mean? Brother Zhong and I have spent so much effort to fight for the spiritual object, and now you come here to interfere. Are you planning to stalk the cicada while the oriole is waiting behind?"

Zhong Shenxiu also shared the same hatred and was indignant: "That's right! Master Lin's actions are immoral and ungentlemanly!"

Lin Shan laughed loudly and refused to play any tricks with these two people.

What a joke! He is not from a Confucian family, why should he follow other people's rules and regulations!
"What is morality? What is a gentleman? What does it have to do with me?"

"The spiritual things of heaven and earth belong to those with virtue!"

“As the saying goes, it’s better to come early than to arrive in time!”

"Since you are bullying fellow Taoists Hui Chang and He Yu, then I, the leader of the sect, will naturally draw my sword to help you when I see injustice."

Lin Shan waved his hand at this time, and a small water-blue sword flew through the air and circled around his palm.

After the Black Skull Demon Lord's fancy transformation, the sword now looks very high-end, with all kinds of hieroglyphs, mountain birds, insects and fish on its surface, each one vivid and mysterious.

Outsiders could tell at first glance that this treasure was extraordinary. Lin Shan estimated that when he said it was a top-level magic weapon, others believed it without a doubt.

Master Huichang and Taoist Yu were already exhausted, but suddenly they saw a third party intervene and realized that the situation had taken a turn for the better, so they shouted in surprise.

"Master Lin is so righteous! Zhong Shenxiu and Wuyazi are colluding with each other and watching the fire from the other side. They are really mean people! If we can drive them away today, the two of us are willing to share the treasures with you. We will never break our promise!"

Lin Shan had a kind smile on his face.

"Easy to say, easy to say"
