Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 163 Where did you get the Muddy Water Shield?
In fact, not only Wanhua Valley was restrained, but Tianji Pavilion and Qingxiao Sect were also blocked.

The Divine Fire Sect launched a large-scale operation this time, with two major goals in mind.

One of them was to use the Nine Directions and Nine Heavens Demon Transformation Formation to surround and kill a Jindan Zhenren in Luoyan Mountain.

The most suitable targets for action are either Yusha Zhenren or Mingyan Zhenren from Lizhou.

As long as the balance of power in Lizhou is broken, it is likely to trigger civil unrest in Lizhou.

Even if no civil strife ultimately occurs, the other Jindan Zhenren who come to reinforce will inevitably be concerned about their own safety and will be more inclined to self-protection in subsequent actions.

The second is to directly advance the front line to Yuanci Peak, preparing to besiege and wipe out Lingyuan Sect.

The Divine Fire Sect has also prepared a backup plan this time, which can easily break through the barrier of Wangyan Mountain.

By then, the remaining Lingyuan Sect monks can be squeezed into the northern part of Hezhou and gradually eroded.

As for the other two cases from the south, it is hard to say how much they are willing to spend to rescue them.

The plan itself was executed without any major problems.

Due to the pressure brought by the Soul-Severing Needle and the four great travelers, all areas east of Wangyan Mountain except Qingyang County have been controlled.

But what no one knew was that Xiao Chen had already dug out the fifth formation plate according to the formation diagram.

Dusk is falling and the distant mountains are dark blue.

Xiao Chen stood on a small hill, watching the sunset completely fall, but his heart was filled with a sense of harvest.

After coming out of Dusongling, in just three hours, he had successfully dug out three formation plates and successfully picked up three hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

On average, you can obtain 10,000 spirit stones every hour.

Although it was already late, he decided to find the last formation plate first before considering whether to rest.

"But where are the other two?"

While on his way, Xiao Chen was also thinking about the locations of the other two travelers.

Halfway through the flight, he suddenly saw a bonfire burning on the hillside not far away, which was very conspicuous in the night.

From a distance, it seemed that there was a group of people dancing.

At this point in time, there are still people who are so interested?

He got closer out of curiosity and saw a group of about ten naked female nuns dancing erotically around a fire.

There were about dozens of monks kneeling on the ground nearby, and the bodies of about a dozen people were lying not far away.

They were wearing similar clothes and seemed to belong to the same family.

These people were all practicing Qi Refining. At this moment, some of them had their eyes wide open with anger, some were crying silently, and some were in despair.

There was only one foundation-building cultivator in the entire audience, who was half-lying on a large rock in front of him, looking very interested.

"Who?"

The Southern Traveler felt a strange and powerful spiritual sense sweeping over him and immediately stood up alertly.

Then a young man was seen pressing down the sword light and protecting many Qi-refining monks behind him.

He looked at the Donghua Wind Sword with a fixed gaze: "Top-grade magical weapon, you are Xiao Chen."

"Humph, instead of staying in Qingyang, you actually dared to come out. You're really courting death!"

"I'm just short of a side dish. Since you're here, I'll give you your brains to go with the wine."

Although he shouted that Xiao Chen was here to die, the Southern Traveler's hands did not slow down at all.

As he spoke, a mark appeared on the palm of his hand, and then screams were heard all around.

It turned out that these Qi-refining monks had already had the seeds of fire planted in their bodies by him using secret techniques.

When the fire was ignited at this time, magic fire immediately rose from the dantian, using the lifespan and magic power of these monks as fuel and turning them into a human-shaped torch.

Moreover, these flames formed a simple formation on the spot according to specific rules.

In an instant, they formed a pincer attack on Xiao Chen together with the Southern Traveler in front of them.

Not only that, in addition to activating the fire, the Southern Traveler also took out two talismans from his arms and offered them out.

One exploded directly in the air, a large amount of fire spiritual power scattered out, and a red flame tiger in the late foundation building stage jumped out.

The other one turned into a diamond-shaped magic shield, surrounding him.

After doing all this, the Southern Traveler calmly took out a fan and looked at Xiao Chen: "Boy, you didn't expect this, did you?"

"I dare to have fun here, so I have already made preparations."

"How dare you stand so close to me just for a few Qi Refining cultivators? Today, I will teach you, on behalf of your master, what it means to be cautious."

After he finished speaking, he waved his palm-leaf fan, and a fiery dragon immediately burst out from the formation behind him and rushed over. The red flame tiger in front also pounced on it immediately.

"You are a remnant of the demonic sect, yet you still want to teach others."

Xiao Chen was not at all panicked in the face of his brutal attack.

He took out the Fire Gourd with his left hand and threw it backwards, and took out the Muddy Water Round Shield with his right hand and threw it forwards.

The Fiery Dragon behind him was immediately put into the gourd, and the Red Flame Tiger in front of him hit the water shield and was not only blocked directly, but also restrained by the attribute, and its momentum plummeted instantly.

"Muddy Water Shield!"

The Southern Traveler looked at the familiar spiritual shield in front of him and was immediately shocked: "Where did you get the Muddy Water Round Shield?"

Xiao Chen took out the other two flying swords and asked with a smile, "Why? Are there so many top-grade magic weapons?"

"Now that you know whose shield this is, guess how I got it?"

The Southern Traveler had already anticipated the truth, but he just couldn't believe it at first.

Hearing Xiao Chen say this, my heart finally settled down.

Among the four great walkers, the weakest is the Northern Walker, followed by the Eastern Walker.

However, the gap between the Eastern Walker and the Southern Walker is actually not that big, only the Western Walker is far ahead in strength.

Now that he realized that something had happened to the third-ranked Eastern Traveler, he suddenly became nervous.

Fortunately, the Southern Traveler had always been cautious and careful in his actions. This time, he had not only set up a formation in advance, but also brought along enough talismans.

He took out the signal arrow and fired it, leaving a fiery red beacon for help in the sky.

He grabbed four talismans from his storage bag and cast them all without hesitation.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and unfolded the tasseled handkerchief, ready for defense.

Unexpectedly, those four talismans were all defensive talismans. They cast a triple layer of protective spiritual light in front of the Southern Traveler, and also added a circular spiritual shield around him.

?

Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?

Xiao Chen felt that the identities of the Southern Traveler and the Northern Traveler should be swapped, and he should belong to the Xuanwu.

I have seen so many demon cultivators, but this is the first time I have seen one who is so afraid of death.

However, the other demon cultivators were all very young, and only the Southern Traveler looked to be at least a hundred years old.

Maybe that's why he's lived so long?

"Xiao Chen, the signal arrow can see farther at night."

The Southern Traveler even spoke up to remind him, "I advise you to leave now, or you won't be able to leave later."
.
Xiao Chen looked up at the beacon in the sky. It was indeed very eye-catching.

But then again, if we can really attract Western travelers, that would be a good thing, saving us the trouble of looking for people.

Therefore, he was not afraid, but rather looked forward to it.

He skillfully set up the Small Three Talents Sword Formation, using the sword formation to wear down the defenses of the Southern Traveler.

Then Xiao Chen used the Fire Treasure Gourd to directly destroy the temporary formation behind him.

However, the Southerners were better prepared than expected.

The sword formation surrounded the opponent for a full quarter of an hour before he had used up all his talismans. He then took out a top-grade magic shield and continued to hold on.

Even while blocking the sword energy, he was still shouting to Xiao Chen, repeatedly emphasizing that the Western Traveler was coming.

"Friend Xiao, as the saying goes, forgive others when you can."

"Friend Xiao, I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't leave now, my boss will really come."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I still have some spirit stones on me. If you're willing to let me go now, I can give you 20,000 spirit stones. Why do you have to fight to the death?"

……

I don’t know if it was because he said it too many times, or if the arrow asking for help worked.

In short, after another half a minute, a sword light actually appeared in the distance.

Seeing this, the Southern Traveler immediately smiled happily: "Hahaha, Xiao Chen, our boss has arrived."

When top foundation-building cultivators fight against each other, the number of people is also a very important factor.

After all, the total amount of mana of each cultivator is limited, and top-grade magic weapons consume a lot of mana.

So far, Xiao Chen has activated six top-grade magical weapons.

This not only exceeds the upper limit of ordinary foundation-building cultivators, but is much more than that.

Even though the tasseled handkerchief might not require much mana, and even though he might have some means of increasing his mana capacity, it should have reached its limit by now.

Facing a Western traveler who was in good condition at this time would be a huge disadvantage.

Moreover, if Xiao Chen dared to withdraw the sword formation, he would face siege from two people, and the situation would only become worse.

The Southern Traveler finished the analysis in his mind in an instant. In a nutshell - the advantage is mine!
In fact, his inference is not unreasonable.

Xiao Chen now indeed only has thirty-six magical powers left, and can activate at most one more top-grade magic weapon.

But this does not mean that he has no way to deal with Western travelers.

After all, I have consumed so many spiritual objects and learned so many spells, they are not meant to be used for nothing.

Usually Xiao Chen likes to use the Small Three Talents Sword Formation simply because it is the simplest and most convenient way to do so.

Seeing the sword light coming from afar, he went straight to meet it and stopped the opponent in the middle.

The visitor was none other than the angry Western traveler.

After he had set up the formation, he had been secretly guarding near it.

But after guarding for two days and two nights, no righteous monks were found coming to destroy.

So he left for a short while and looted the spiritual objects and spiritual stones from two small families nearby.

Some time was wasted due to refining the storage bag and forcibly breaking through the family's defensive formation.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that the formation plate he had buried had disappeared.

Even the base of the formation was chopped to pieces by a flying sword.

The Western Traveler immediately panicked. You know, this mission was personally instructed by True Man Qianhong, and absolutely no mistakes were allowed.

If the problem lies with him, it will delay the great cause of the Holy Religion.

Even if he could manage to return alive from Lingyuan Sect, True Man Qianhong would never forgive him.

But he really couldn't understand why. It was obvious that the area within a radius of 300 miles had been completely controlled by the Divine Fire Sect.

Who on earth was so bold as to go deep into the area controlled by the Divine Fire Sect and destroy the formation he left behind?

The Western Traveler was filled with panic and anger, and immediately flew on his sword to start a search.

And as the Southern Traveler said before, the fiery red distress beacon is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

The angry Western travelers quickly discovered the abnormality here and rushed over immediately.

From a great distance, he could see the Southern Traveler trapped in a sword formation in the distance.

Then he saw a young man calmly standing between him and the Southern Traveler.

"who are you?"

The Western Traveler's face was gloomy: "You are the one who stole my formation plate?" Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and shook his index finger: "No, no, no, first of all, I think you are mistaken."

"I thought this formation plate would be lying on the ground and no one would want it, so can it be considered stealing?"

"Secondly, your eyesight isn't very good. You can't even recognize me?"

Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to chat a few more words.

Unfortunately, the Southern Traveler behind him desperately shouted: "Boss, this kid is Xiao Chen."

"Help me quickly, this sword formation is too weird."

Upon hearing this, the Western Traveler snorted coldly: "Huh, so it's you."

"Okay, I won't bother you, but you dare to come and get me."

"I really give you too much face."

As he spoke, the Western Traveler took out a large ebony flag, on which was embroidered a dark blue toad.

Then he waved the flag and waved it at Xiao Chen.

Immediately, a cold current blew out, lowering the surrounding temperature by at least ten times.

The grass, trees, rocks and hills along the way were immediately covered with thick layers of ice, and even the spiritual energy in the air seemed to be frozen.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen waved his hand and threw out twenty-seven flame clouds from his sleeves.

As the cold wind blew, rays of red flames burst out one after another, immediately blocking the cold current in front of them.

He was not in a hurry to attack now. It would still be enough time for him to close the net after the sword formation dealt with the Southern Traveler.

"Hmm? He really has some strength."

Upon seeing this, the Western Traveler pulled out a talisman from his bosom and cast it out, instantly causing the sky to be filled with snowflakes.

Then he waved the flag with his backhand, and suddenly another gust of cold wind blew in his face.

The difference was that this time, the snowflakes along the way were swept by the cold wind and seemed to turn into flying knives, cutting through the air and piercing Xiao Chen's vital parts.

The remaining flames were immediately punctured and shattered before they could bloom.

This change of tactics actually broke the blazing clouds in the sky.

At the same time, a dim red light flashed in the hand of the Western Traveler, and it was a Soul-Severing Needle.

Mixing this attack with the Snow Flying Knife can effectively increase the hit rate.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Seeing that the cold wind was about to touch him, a thought came to his mind, and a treasure scroll appeared on his chest. It was the Fire-Absorbing Treasure Scroll.

Then, a large amount of black fire transformed from fire energy poured out all at once.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

As a sharp "hiss" sound was heard, all the snowflakes nearby evaporated into wisps of white mist.

Because there were so many of them, they even formed a large ball of thick white fog.

At the same time, he reached out and clamped the Soul-Severing Needle between his fingertips.

It broke into two pieces without any effort.

When the Western Traveler saw this, he was shocked at first. He didn't expect that Xiao Chen could destroy his Soul-Severing Needle so easily.

But soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because he suddenly discovered that Xiao Chen on the opposite side seemed to have no idea how to fight.

"Boy, I really overestimated you before."
.
When two monks are of equal strength, there are many basic rules for fighting.

For example, don't play passive defense and wait for your enemy to create a geographical advantage.

For example, when facing ice spells, you should retreat and be careful of the subsequent fog.

All of these rules were obtained at the cost of human lives, and generally only casual cultivators would make such mistakes.

However, the Western Traveler did not expect that Xiao Chen, who was from the Lihuo Sect, behaved like a rookie in this regard.

In that case, he deserved to die at his hands.

"Nine Secrets of Huangquan: Winter Toad!"

The Western Traveler shouted loudly, and the flag in his hand turned into a stream of light and instantly arrived in front of the fog.

The white mist, which had not yet had time to disperse, was immediately dyed dark blue.

Then it actually turned into a winter toad that was sixteen feet tall.

"Cuck!"

The winter toad's stomach shrank, and then it opened its mouth and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful suction force came, sucking everything nearby into its stomach.

Since Xiao Chen was standing at the edge of the white fog, he was the first to bear the greatest suction force and was directly sucked into the stomach of the winter toad.

Seeing this, the Western Traveler was certain that the battle was over.

Since learning this secret technique, no less than ten cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage have fallen into the belly of the winter toad.

They were all turned into ice sculptures, without exception.

There is no need to think too much this time, it will definitely be no different.

The Western Traveler slowly made hand gestures, wanting to put away the winter toad.

However, the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise.

He actually lost contact with the Winter Toad!

Then, a red light lit up from inside, turning the dark blue winter toad into a fiery red.

"boom!"

A flash of fire shot up into the sky, completely blasting the winter toad into powder.

Xiao Chen held the fire treasure gourd in his hand, and the fire bombs inside had been used up.

I have to say that this advance storage function is really practical.

It saves the long condensation time, does not require the consumption of mana, and does not affect the power of the spell itself.

Moreover, the two rounds of instantaneous fire bombs had an even more powerful effect in the narrow stomach.

"Boss, save me!"

The Southern Traveler shouted loudly within the sword formation, "I can't take it anymore."

After being continuously impacted by the sword energy in the sword formation, his robe was already full of cracks and was indeed unable to hold on any longer.

However, Xiao Chen stood in the middle and seemed to have some strength left.

"You deserved to die for forcing me to use this move."

Seeing this, the Western traveler finally stopped hesitating and played his trump card.

"You are all guilty!"

"In the name of Huangquan Zhenjun, I punish you on behalf of Heaven. I sentence you to be immediately cast into the Nine Netherworlds, where you will be eternally condemned to hell. This prison is called—Iceberg!"

As his voice of judgment rang out, ghosts appeared all around.

In the air, a figure wearing a crown, a black robe and a purple skirt appeared. A phantom surrounded by the underworld appeared in the air.

It was the illusion of Huangquan Zhenjun that Xiao Chen had seen once before.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and immediately an iceberg emerged.

Then the iceberg slowly floated towards Xiao Chen.

Although it seems that the speed is very slow, even a little too slow.

It feels like I can easily dodge it by just moving.

But in fact, in the eyes of bystanders, the iceberg fell directly on Xiao Chen the next moment it appeared.

There is a kind of coldness that is so cold just by looking at it.

But for the southern travelers not far away, it was definitely more than just looking cold.

Even though he was more than a hundred feet away, he could still feel a strong chill when the iceberg appeared.

It felt like I was in an extremely cold world of ice and snow, and every inch of my skin was invaded by the biting cold.

This kind of coldness is not just a surface feeling, but it seems to penetrate the bone marrow, making people tremble all over and even feel that their blood is about to freeze.

Even his movements became stiff involuntarily.

The only good news is that even the Small Three Talents Sword Formation was affected, and the speed of the sword energy slowed down a bit.

Western travelers are a little closer and have a deeper understanding of the experience.

He took out a dagger and threw it at Xiao Chen.

According to past experience, completely frozen ice sculptures will turn into shattered pieces if touched even slightly.

"Ding~!"

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to block the dagger directly: "Why don't you stop calling yourself the Divine Fire Sect and change your name to the Yellow Springs Sect?"

"You always like to use other people's spells as trump cards. Can you have something of your own?"

Xiao Chen raised his head and glanced at the blank-faced image: "The key is that I don't feel anything."

?

The Western Traveler looked at Xiao Chen blankly, at a loss for a moment.

How is this going?

Why is it that Xiao Chen is not affected by Master Huangquan?

He painstakingly cultivated the Iceberg Hell for thirty years, viewing it as his greatest trump card, and through it, he gained the position of the leader of the Four Great Walkers.

Even True Man Qianhong praised him for being able to fight against fake dan cultivators with this move.

However, what went wrong that led to the current result?

The Western Traveler was totally unable to accept this fact, and he used the Iceberg Hell again in vain.

However, Xiao Chen was still standing not far away with a smile on his face, not affected in the slightest.

"How could this be?"

The Western traveler muttered to himself in confusion.

The Southern Traveler in the sword formation was chopped into pieces by the sword energy while screaming.

Half an hour later.

Xiao Chen put away the Western Traveler's storage bag.

Although he didn't know why he couldn't beat him, he unexpectedly didn't choose to escape but stayed to fight to the death.

But this is not the key point. The most important thing is that I have obtained their storage bags according to the predetermined goal.

At this point, the four great masters of the Divine Fire Sect had become a thing of the past, and they were all dealt with by him alone.

This means that there are no more Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators who can use the Soul-Severing Needle.

In this way, although there was not enough time to develop a means to counter the Soul-Severing Needle, the entire Lingyuan Sect no longer needed to worry about it.

At the same time, this also announced that the invasion of the Divine Fire Cult had been largely thwarted by him.

Next, we just need to conduct the search step by step and eliminate the remaining foundation-building demon cultivators around.

Of course, the first step right now is to dig out the last piece of the array plate and count the storage bags at the same time.

I don’t know what expressions the people of the Divine Fire Sect would have when they found that the formation they expected did not respond.

Xiao Chen cleaned up the battlefield with a smile, opened the map and rushed to the last formation plate.
