Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 270 Forbidden Land Secret Treasure
On the other side, the blood-colored forbidden words cast by Apu had also broken the magic fox's thunder ball spell and pressed down on it.

At this moment, the demon fox made a move that was beyond everyone's expectations. Silver light flashed around it, and it fled towards the southwest and disappeared in a flash.

It turned out that when it saw that the three people were difficult to deal with, it actually abandoned these thunder wood and ran away.

His escape speed was extremely fast. In a flash of light, he had already escaped hundreds of feet.

This shocked Song Xian. He never expected that the monster would escape so decisively. The monsters he had encountered before were all of low intelligence, such as the silver-armored ants, the demon snakes in the Water Curtain Cave, and the ghosts in the ghost cave.

Once you break into their territory, you will fight to the death. But this demon fox is different. It clearly still has some strength left, but it chooses to avoid the attack temporarily.

In this action, it is even more rational than humans.

Seeing the demon fox fleeing into the distance, Song Xian would not overestimate his own abilities and chase after it, not to mention that it was impossible for him to catch up with it at his own speed.

This is the advantage of having a high level of cultivation. Even if you are defeated, you can leave calmly and be almost invincible.

There is no shortage of powerful people in the world of cultivation who can defeat cultivators with higher cultivation than themselves. For example, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building versus a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Although there is a certain gap between the two sides, it is not so big that it is insurmountable.

But if they don't fight hard, generally speaking, it is very difficult for a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building to kill a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in adverse circumstances.

Because the higher the level of cultivation, the faster the escape speed.

This demon fox was at the level of a human cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. Its escape speed was much faster than the three of them. As they watched it leave, the three of them could only stare blankly.

Soon, the demon fox escaped far away and disappeared completely from sight.

Only then did Song Xian retract the Netherworld Cold Flame. The three of them flashed and came to the row of Lei Yuan wood.

"This monster is cunning. It obviously still has strength left, but it flees without a fight. We have to worry that it will find other helpers and come back. We can't stay here for long. Let's get the Lei Yuanmu and leave." Apu looked solemn. He was not careless at all because of the Lei Yuanmu that was about to be obtained.

After putting the Lei Yuanmu into the storage bag, the three of them hurriedly left the place. They traveled hundreds of miles before stopping at a remote stone hill.

"The Thunder Yuan Wood has been obtained. There is still a long time before the forbidden area is opened. What are your plans, fellow Taoists?"

"I want to try my luck alone, so I won't go with you two. We'll meet again if we're lucky." Han Yuan bowed to the two of them expressionlessly, and his figure flashed as he fled towards the south.

"Since Fellow Daoist Han is gone, Fellow Daoist Song, let's say goodbye now. Take care." Apu also rose up and headed towards the west.

Song Xian looked at the two men's departing backs, his eyes flashing slightly. He felt that the two men seemed to have already discussed it beforehand.

In such a dangerous environment, it would be safer to act together.

But as soon as Apu brought up the matter, Han Yuan expressed his opinion without even thinking.

Although Han Yuan's skills and supernatural powers are not weak, he is only at the initial stage of foundation building. His strength is not enough in this forbidden area. According to his cautious nature shown before, he should not choose to act alone without hesitation.

After Han Yuan left, Apu left without asking for his opinion.

It seemed like both of them were busy doing something.

Maybe they had another agreement? They just didn't want to take me with them?

Song Xian didn't think about it any further. No matter what secret the two of them had, it had nothing to do with him.

The cooperation between the three was originally limited to obtaining Lei Yuanmu. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is natural for them to go their separate ways.

At this time, the sky was already getting bright. Song Xian looked around and then headed southwest.

There are still more than ten days until the forbidden area is reopened. It is too early to return to the teleportation center now, so it is better to continue exploring.

He knew nothing about this forbidden area, and the only knowledge he had came from Apu. The atlas Apu had given him before only covered the area within a few hundred miles of the teleportation center. Now he had already exceeded the range in the atlas, and for him, every step forward was an unknown area.

Song Xian was very careful. He put a concealing talisman on himself, hid his figure and explored forward little by little. After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a flash of light in front of him, as if there were people fighting.

He sneaked to the vicinity and saw from afar two monks fighting in the dense forest. One of them had a full beard and seemed to have the upper hand, while the other thin man could only defend himself and had no power to fight back.

A green shield gathered around the thin man, struggling to hold on.

"My fellow Daoist, we have no grudges in the past or present. We all came here to search for treasures. I just stumbled here by mistake. I won't fight with you. Why are you forcing me so hard?" The man who was at a disadvantage shouted loudly, and it was obvious that he was very anxious.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to leave, hand over your storage bag first." The bearded man snorted coldly and controlled the condensed golden tiger to continuously attack the man.

The thin man's eyes flickered. Seeing that the green shield could no longer hold, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm willing to hand over my belongings. Just leave them with me and I'll leave. Please stop, fellow Taoist."

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the storage bag first."

The thin man had no choice but to take off the storage bag from his waist and throw it out.

The bearded man waved his hand and caught the thrown storage bag in his hand, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued to control the golden tiger to attack.

The thin man was anxious: "What do you mean, fellow Daoist? I have already handed over my belongings as an apology. Do you really want to fight to the death?"

The big man ignored it. The golden tiger kept slapping the green shield, making it shake.

"You want me to die, and I don't want you to live." The thin man shouted loudly.

"Hmph! You're just putting on airs. If you had any other tricks up your sleeve, why would you just hand over the storage bag so easily? Go to hell!" The bearded man snorted coldly, clasped his hands together, and condensed four huge golden tiger claw prints in the sky, and slammed down hard.

There was a loud bang, and the golden tiger claw mark collided with the green shield around the man. It seemed as if the space was shaking, and visible golden ripples spread out in all directions.

The azure shield shattered after twisting and deforming. The thin man let out a beast-like cry and was then beaten into a pile of minced meat by the four huge golden tiger claws.

Seeing that the other party was dead, the big man with a full beard put away his magical powers and checked the contents of the storage bag handed over by the thin man.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Who is sneaking around? Why don't you show yourself?"

Song Xian was shocked and his first reaction was that he had been discovered. He was hesitating whether to retreat or show up.

But the man looked in another direction.

"Haha, you are quite alert." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and then the outline of a figure emerged, revealing a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, who was only thirty or forty feet away from the other party.

When the big man saw the other person appear, he showed a look of vigilance, because the other person was also a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. He took a few steps back without saying a word.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you trying to do by sneaking up on us?" "I mean no harm. I just happened to be passing by and saw you two fighting. Curious, I came over to investigate." The middle-aged man with a fair complexion said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave now."

As he said this, he turned around and walked back. The bearded man kept his eyes on him.

Just as the middle-aged man with a fair complexion turned his head, something strange happened. A black light broke out from under the ground and shot straight at the bearded man from behind.

The big man was well prepared. When his spiritual sense detected that someone was lurking around, he already held a second-grade medium-quality defensive talisman in his hand.

Hearing the movement underground, he immediately activated the ink-colored talisman in his hand. As the talisman shone brightly, a dark green defensive shield immediately condensed and protected him.

The black light shot towards the dark green defensive shield without any collision sound. The dark green shield was only seen twisting. The black light was a black liquid that seemed to be extremely corrosive. Even the shield of the second-level medium-grade defensive talisman could not withstand it.

The bearded man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw this. Fortunately, he was cautious and held the talisman in his hand the moment his spiritual sense discovered the opponent. Otherwise, the spiritual defense shield around his body might not be able to block this attack.

If you are splashed with this black liquid, even if you don't die, you will inevitably be injured.

I don’t know where this black liquid comes from. It looks ordinary, but it is so aggressive.

The next moment, the owner of the black liquid appeared. It was a giant black spider three meters in size. The spiritual energy around it reached the initial level of foundation building. It broke out of the ground, following closely behind the black liquid, and its sharp claws grabbed the dark green defensive light shield.

With a loud bang, the light shield shook violently.

The big man put his hands together, and golden light gathered, forming a giant golden tiger. He shouted softly, and the giant tiger slapped the black spider.

The two collided, and the golden tiger shook.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the pale-faced middle-aged man felt regretful. He deliberately exposed his flaws and approached the other party in order to attract the other party's attention to himself. In the dark, his spirit beast, the black wood spider, was lurking underground and approaching quietly.

He turned around in order to paralyze the opponent, and when the opponent was off guard, he suddenly attacked and eliminated the opponent by surprise.

The venom of the black wood spider is extremely powerful, and the spiritual shield of a foundation-building cultivator alone cannot block it. If the opponent is not prepared, he is likely to be hit.

But unfortunately, the other party was very cautious and his plan did not succeed.

At this point, we can only rely on our strength.

He clasped his hands together, light flashed between his palms, and he pushed his palms forward. Dense golden blades of light shot towards the opponent like rain.

The dark green defensive shield gradually twisted and deformed under the attacks of many golden light blades.

The bearded man formed seals with his hands, and four huge golden tiger claw prints condensed in the sky again, each of which was ten feet in size, and slammed down fiercely.

Under the attack of the tiger claws, those golden blades were like tofu, swept away by the huge tiger claws and shattered one after another.

This magical power was a skill he learned in a secret place in his early years, and it is extremely powerful.

He had consumed a lot of spiritual energy when he killed the thin man in the early stage of foundation building just now. Now facing an opponent with the same cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he did not have much confidence.

Not only was the other party's cultivation level no lower than his, but he was also well-rested and had the help of a spiritual beast that was as powerful as that in the early stage of foundation building. If he continued to delay, it would be very disadvantageous.

Therefore, he wanted to end the battle quickly and used his unique skills on him.

The white-faced man saw with his own eyes how the big man killed the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building with this attack, and knew the power of this magical power. Seeing the tiger claw condensed in mid-air, he immediately took out a golden talisman, poured in spiritual power, activated the talisman, and condensed it into a golden shield to protect his body.

At the same time, he put his hands together, and stone pillars solidified and crisscrossed each other.

This is a second-grade, mid-level earth-based technique. It draws a prison on the ground and can be used to trap the enemy as well as protect oneself.

Dozens of stone pillars appeared around him, each one was two meters long, connected to each other, and entangled together to form a round stone shield, covering an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius.

The huge golden tiger claw slammed down from the air and hit the round stone shield. The whole earth seemed to shake violently, dust flew around, and stones jumped high.

With one blow, a crack appeared on the huge stone shield.

The bearded man shouted softly, and the four golden tiger claws slapped down again, and the cracks in the stone shield became bigger and bigger.

The pale-faced man finally changed color when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the power of this magical power would be even greater than he imagined.

By the time the four golden tiger claws struck again, the stone shield had shattered.

The pale-faced man formed seals with his hands, and a huge black rock condensed in mid-air, striking towards the tiger claw.

This is a second-level, mid-grade earth-based magic, as powerful as a mountain pressing down on one's head.

The huge rock fell from the sky like a hill, directly hitting the four golden tiger claw marks.

With a loud bang, four tiger claws rushed towards the boulder.

Like the collision of mountains, the black boulder and the tiger claw shattered into pieces after a few collisions. At this time, the tiger claw was almost at the end of its strength.

It slapped towards the pale-faced man again, but was blocked by the golden shield condensed around him.

The golden shield only shook a few times but did not shatter.

The pale-faced man cast another spell, and saw sand and stones flying in the air. Countless dust was dancing, and the black sand and stones were attracted to the four golden tiger claws like magnets and soon entangled them.

The pale-faced man let out a light shout and clapped his palms. The black sand and gravel wrapped in the golden tiger claws instantly exploded and turned into black gravel on the ground.

And the four golden tiger claws also disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, the black spider had dealt with the condensed golden tiger. Black venom spurted out of its mouth. When the golden tiger was touched by it, its body twisted. The black spider bit the golden tiger with its sharp mouth, and its head was immediately cut off and disappeared into the air.

After dealing with the golden giant tiger, the black spider did not continue to attack, but drilled down and disappeared into the ground again.

The scene suddenly became quiet. At this time, the two sides were facing each other from a distance, less than fifty feet apart, their eyes fixed on each other.
