Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 224: It’s almost time for a double kill
"This is too strange!"

Cao Mingjie carefully examined the various items in the palace. "How could such a large palace be empty?"

"There are such complex restrictions outside. Could it be that they are just to protect such a strange bead?"

"Hey, there seems to be writing on the tray."

As he spoke, he suddenly discovered that there was an unfamiliar ancient script engraved under the pearl.

"This seems to be the same writing as the stone tablet at the entrance."

Upon hearing this, Ma Wenbo also came over and said, "But we don't know Gu Lingwen either."

Yu Zhenyang continued, "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing."

"In this regard, the cultivators from large sects have to have a deep foundation, possess more secret information, and have time to read books."

"Unlike us, we are so busy earning spirit stones every day that we don't even have enough time to practice."

In fact, the main reason is that ordinary monks have no channels to access those things.

It is possible that in the scripture library of a large sect, the miscellaneous books that no one usually cares about are ancient books that have been lost to the outside world for many years.

This invisible accumulation can sometimes have a significant impact at certain critical moments.

Xiao Chen has always attached great importance to this point, and he will definitely supplement his knowledge when he has the opportunity in the future.

I just don't know which sect is more willing to accept newcomers.

“I think I know what this word is.”

Qiu Fang, who had been looking around since entering the palace, suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the character for chicken."

Ok?
Ma Wenbo was immediately curious: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, how did you figure that out?"

Qiu Fanghui immediately coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, look, the copper door knockers on the palace gate are in the shape of a rooster crowing at dawn."

"The top of the Huabiao pillar outside is engraved with a statue of a golden rooster standing alone. Inside the house, the vases, screens, incense burners, and octagonal palace lanterns are either pure white or have rooster patterns or characters on them."

"I guess these things are related to the items placed in the main hall."

Finally, he deliberately added: "Of course, this is just my speculation, and it may not be correct."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at the surrounding decorations again and found that they indeed conformed to this pattern.

This inference is quite interesting. If the palace here is really set up according to a fixed theme, then there may be hidden mysteries in it.

He immediately put away the pearl and said, "Let's go to the palace in the back and see for ourselves."

At this time, other monks had already passed through the narrow road and arrived at the palace area.

However, those who could come here so quickly were all from big forces or relatively powerful cultivators.

More than half of them chose to follow the main road and head straight to the core area.

After the remaining half discovered that the restrictions in the palace and side halls were extremely complicated, many of them went directly to deeper areas.

Therefore, there were only a few scattered cultivators around Xiao Chen and his group, and they were hiding far away very cautiously.

He took the initiative to avoid the group of five of them.

"Hey, look to the right. The statue on top of the Huabiao is a heavenly dog ​​eclipsing the sun."

Cao Mingjie watched excitedly: "On the left, there's a monkey trying to catch the moon. There seems to be a pattern."

"Shh~!"

Ma Wenbo quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't shout. Be careful, the walls may have ears."

But they were obviously excited.

There seems to be some secret in here. If so, perhaps going to the core area first is the wrong choice.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, which one should we open first?"

Yu Zhenyang asked subconsciously.

"Let's go to the right first."

Xiao Chen pointed casually: "Drive all the way from right to left, then you don't have to run back and forth anymore."

"Fellow Daoist Jin Guang said it well!"

Qiu Fanghui still remembered that he was the first to rush to agree.

The five people used the Yin-Yang Forbidden Formation to successfully open the second palace, and the layout of the equipment inside was indeed similar to that of the first palace.

On the last tray, there was a gem that looked exactly the same.

"Then this should be the word 'dog', right?"

Ma Wenbo took out a pen and paper and drew the ancient spiritual text on it.

He drew three copies directly, and then gave one to Xiao Chen and one to Qiu Fanghui.

"They haven't been collected yet, so you can take them first."

Since someone was helping to record it, Xiao Chen didn't refuse. He just waved his hand temporarily and said, "It's not too late to talk about it after the painting is finished."

"Let's try to open all twelve palaces and record everything."

Qiu Fanghui quickly agreed: "Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, what you said is right!"

……

Because the restrictions in the palace were too complicated, and more and more monks arrived later.

Therefore, after Xiao Chen and others collected the third gem, they saw different cultivators trying to crack the other nine palaces.

There are also other teams among them, and some teams even have special monks assigned to guard the surroundings.

"Oh no, that seems to be the team of the eight major families."

Cao Mingjie carefully distinguished and said, "I saw the leader of the team in Xishi that day. He seemed to belong to the Mu family."

"Why don't we explore the side hall at the back first?"

It was natural for him to not want a conflict to break out.

Ma Wenbo looked into the distance and said, "There seems to be a lone cultivator on the main road. Should we go and chase him away?"

"Although these orbs don't seem to be of much use right now, they may be of great use in the future."

"I think I should collect a few more."

In comparison, offending a casual cultivator is not a big deal. The Eastern Region is so big anyway, and we may never meet again.

Yu Zhenyang didn't hesitate for even a second this time: "Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, what should we do next?"

He looked directly to the right, expecting Xiao Chen to make the decision.

At this point, Yu Zhenyang has given up thinking on his own.

It’s not that he lacks his own opinions, but the cultivation world respects the strong, and this is actually very common.

As long as a cultivator's strength is clearly ahead of the others, he naturally has the greatest say.

Only those monks with similar strength need to engage in intrigue to fight for the so-called power.

No matter how strong the military force is, it is difficult to eliminate the objections of others, but the strong can directly eliminate the person who raises the objection.

Over time, people gradually get used to it and believe that whatever the strong do is right.

"Then let's..."

Before Xiao Chen could finish his words, he heard a loud bang and a sword formation diagram flew towards him.

In an instant, it turned into a simple sword formation, encompassing all five people.

Immediately afterwards, ninety-nine and eighty-one green sword energies came from all directions.

"Guiyuan Thick Earth, protect me!"

Yu Zhenyang and others reacted quickly, dispersing around immediately and casting talismans to protect themselves.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't escape the range of the sword formation.
.
"Hurry up and leave no one behind!"

Three monks suddenly appeared at the rightmost palace gate, each of them took out their spiritual weapon and prepared to cooperate with the formation to launch a siege.

"Qiongtai Fire Lotus!"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not panic. He raised his hand and cast a protective spell on himself.

Then he put his fingers together to form a sword and slashed around.

Immediately, a ray of sword energy shot out from his fingertips and hit the formation.

However, although this is a killing formation, it is a third-level formation after all, and is completely unaffected by Lingyun's sword energy.

Okay, that's interesting.

It seems that the other party is quite capable, no wonder he dares to surround the majority with a small number of people.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The green sword energy slashed on Xiao Chen's fire lotus, and dazzling sparks immediately burst out, but he was also safe and sound.

"Yin begets Yang, Yang begets Yin, turning the universe upside down and reversing the five elements."

Yu Zhenyang immediately reversed the Yin-Yang forbidden formation and tried to break the surrounding formation.

"The black tortoise, with its armor on its back, sits like Mount Tai."

Cao Mingjie and Ma Wenbo tacitly protected the left and right sides, and at the same time cast defensive spells to jointly resist the surrounding sword energy.

As soon as the words fell, the shadow of a mountain appeared, protecting the three of them.

Qiu Fanghui leaned against the other side of the formation and summoned two black iron puppets to protect himself.

He did not take out all the puppets at once, but hid two as a backup.

"Stop them!"

A blue-robed monk at the front shouted, "Heavenly Cloud Locking Chain!"

Immediately, a golden light lit up and condensed into a chain in the air, tightly binding Xiao Chen.

The blue-robed monk smiled when he saw this.

His magic is extraordinary. Once the enemy monk's body is tied up, the true energy in his body will be directly suppressed and cannot be mobilized.

"The sky is rolling back!"

On the right was a red-robed monk, who gave a soft shout.

Suddenly, a large amount of water appeared out of thin air under Qiu Fanghui's feet, flowing upwards from the bottom.

He and the two puppets were completely wrapped up and turned into a big water ball.

It also means being temporarily disconnected from the rest of the people.

"The blue lotus is the sword, and the sword is the blue lotus."

At the same time, the green-robed monk on the left held a slender wooden sword vertically in his right hand, and placed his left hand across the sword to activate the secret technique.

The green sword energy in the formation immediately turned into green lotuses.

They immediately rushed towards Yu Zhenyang, trying to stop him from breaking the formation.

"Bang~!"

A blue lotus landed in front of the trio, blooming in an instant and splitting into hundreds of sharp rays.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of green lotuses fell, and the dense sharp edges directly tore the outer layer of the mountain shadow into pieces.

The Guiyuan Thick Earth Talisman inside could not bear the weight and quickly cracked.

"not good!"

Yu Zhenyang immediately gave up the formation plate, added a new talisman for defense, and cast a spiritual shield to share the defensive pressure.

He glanced to the left and found that Xiao Chen had been tied up tightly with golden chains.

I looked to the right again and saw only a big water ball.

His heart sank immediately. The current situation was extremely unfavorable.

Although the main opponent only had three people, they were all late Jindan cultivators, and they had also set up a formation as a trap. Now that they were trapped in the formation, even with the advantage in numbers, they would probably find it difficult to deal with it.

The main problem is that Yu Zhenyang himself knows that physical practitioners are often helpless when faced with such situations.

It is almost impossible to break the formation by brute force alone.

Instead, they will be bound by the power of the formation, as if they fell into mud and were trapped to death.

Yu Zhenyang took a deep breath. He had to break the formation now to help Xiao Chen unleash his strength advantage. He gritted his teeth and unfolded the formation again. "Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, help me buy two quarters of an hour."

Using the formation requires a lot of true energy and spiritual consciousness, and he has no time to defend against the enemy's attacks.

It can also be predicted that the enemy will concentrate their forces to attack him as the one who breaks the formation.

If anything went wrong, he would be torn to pieces by the sword formation on the spot.

But now, this is the only chance of survival Yu Zhenyang can think of.

"Hmph, you are stubbornly resisting."

The blue-robed monk opposite snorted coldly, then took out a dark blue leaf from his arms: "A thousand leaves of blue sky, known as Ningshuang, go!"

As he said that, he threw it forward, and the fallen leaf floated in the air, its trajectory unpredictable.

He accurately dodged Cao Mingjie and Ma Wenbo and directly hit the only remaining spiritual shield in front of Yu Zhenyang.

Without any sound, the spiritual light on the shield immediately went out, and then the entire shield was covered with ice crystals and fell to the ground along with the leaves.

If Yu Zhenyang still dared to ignore it, he would surely fall first without the protection of the spiritual shield.

Therefore, even though he knew this was not a solution, he had to give up on breaking the formation again and took out a spare spiritual shield and opened it.

Because he consumed too much true energy in a short period of time, Yu Zhenyang's face turned pale.

He looked around. Although many people witnessed the battle breaking out here, they all turned a blind eye and did not care.

It seems that there is no hope of anyone coming to help.

"You're so weak! How dare you come to the ruins and die with your skills?"

The blue monk smiled complacently: "Let's finish it quickly. It seems that we can still go to the palace to take a look."

The red-robed monk glanced back and saw that another Mu family team was about to lift the ban on the palace.

He immediately curled his lips and said, "How annoying! You always give people the most difficult goal."

"This guy actually brought four puppets with him. After he kills the other four, you have to come and help him."

The blue-robed monk raised his eyebrows upon hearing this: "Oh, you encountered the strongest prey again?"

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely help you this time."

The green-robed monk reminded: "It's almost time, let's finish this first."

As he spoke, he further increased his true energy output, and immediately the number of green lotuses in the formation skyrocketed.

Yu Zhenyang and others suddenly looked ashen. The other party actually still had some strength left. This time, they were probably going to be wiped out.

"Indeed, it's almost time."

Xiao Chen looked at the Huo family cultivators in the distance. Instead of panicking, he smiled.

He actually noticed at the first moment that these three people and the Huo family monk in the distance all had the same pattern embroidered on their collars.

So he deliberately did not take out the flying sword, but simply used sword energy to conduct a strength test.

After all, if Xiao Chen directly destroyed the formation, the Huo family cultivators would come to support him.

By then, the restrictions on the palace will have to be broken again.

It’s different now, the ban is about to be lifted.

This just saves them the time to crack it again after they finish playing.

It can be said that his operations are all about details.

"Crack! Click!"

Under the incredulous gaze of the blue-robed monk, Xiao Chen reached out and crushed the chains on his body.

"If you three commit suicide now, I can promise to leave your bodies intact."
.
The red-robed female cultivator immediately reacted: "Something's wrong. He's a top-tier physical cultivator. Let's work together to limit his explosive power."

As she spoke, she offered a talisman: "Frost Burial Moon!"

Immediately, the shadow of a bright moon fell in the formation, and then the temperature around it dropped sharply.

The bright moon seemed to be frozen by the cold, slowly floating down to the ground.

In such a cold wave, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seems to be frozen.

Yu Zhenyang immediately felt his joints stiff and unable to stretch.

Cao Mingjie even felt as if he appeared naked in the snow, and his blood began to flow slowly as if it was about to solidify.

The blue-robed monk snorted again: "Hmph, how shameless!"

"If you commit suicide now, I promise I won't grind you to dust."

As he spoke, he also cast a talisman: "Foul spring and foul earth!"

The talisman suddenly turned into a stream of turbid spring water and fell into the formation.

The soil within the entire range of the formation was affected and turned into a swamp filled with corruption and poison.

This move is extremely restraining to physical cultivators. Not only can the soft ground not provide any leverage, but it will also absorb the impact.

The green-robed monk threw out a piece of dry branch and integrated it into the formation.

Suddenly, the entire formation became three times more solid, and could resist the explosion more effectively.

Although Xiao Chen had just crushed the Tianluo Locking Cloud Chain with his bare hands, demonstrating his impressive body cultivation skills.

But the people in front of him were not too panicked by this.

They worked well together and came up with a solution right away.

If an elite cultivator with great achievements in body training came here today, he would have no choice but to accept defeat.

Unfortunately, they happened to meet Xiao Chen today.

"Oh, that's interesting."

Xiao Chen took out the Wind and Thunder Swords slowly and said, "You even prepared talismans to restrict physical cultivation. You must be well prepared."

"I have to say, among the enemies I've met, you are not that stupid."

"It's a pity that I'm still not smart enough to provoke people I shouldn't."

He held a flying sword in each hand and shouted, "Soar straight up!"

In an instant, the dazzling sword light obscured the vision of everyone nearby.

The blue-robed monk's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately cast a defensive spiritual shield.

The female cultivator in red was so frightened that her face turned pale.

He quickly took a few steps back and hid behind the blue-robed monk, while at the same time spreading out the protective spiritual light.

As the master of the formation, the blue-robed monk immediately grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and manipulated the power of the formation to weaken Xiao Chen's sword light.

However, the next moment, the ruthless sword light directly penetrated the formation in front of it.

"Huh? Why isn't there any backlash?"

The green-robed monk stared blankly at the shattered formation, feeling a little confused.

Logically speaking, as the master of the formation, he should have to bear the backlash caused by the forced destruction of the formation.

But now, he could not feel any signs of disorder in his true energy, and he could not even feel his own true energy.

Wait, something's wrong!

The green-robed monk looked down and saw a cross-shaped wound on his dantian.

Through the damaged flesh and blood, one can see that the golden elixir inside has been cut into four pieces.

"My golden elixir is broken?"

After realizing this, the blue-robed monk suddenly felt all the strength in his body rapidly draining away, and then his whole body broke into four pieces along the cross wound.

Everyone around was stunned as they looked at the blue-robed monk who had fallen to the ground.

"Boom!"

A stele in the distance was cut by the sword light and collapsed to the ground, waking up the people nearby.

The blue-robed monk swallowed hard.

He hurriedly took out a defensive spiritual shield and cast it, while silently reciting the incantation to cast a defensive spell.

This is really weird. The person in front of me is not only a top physical cultivator, but also a top sword cultivator.

No, no, no, even the top swordsmen can't do that.

He had never heard of a Jindan cultivator being able to cut off the Jindan with a single sword strike through the formation. This was simply outrageous!

"Aqing!"

The red-robed female cultivator cried out in shock, her eyes reddening immediately as she pointed at Xiao Chen: "How dare you kill Ah Qing? I will make sure that the lives of your entire clan are buried with him."

Having said that, she hid behind the blue-robed monk.

At the same time, he took quick steps and retreated rapidly.

He wanted to seek help from the team of Mu family monks behind him.

After all, she instantly realized that after losing the formation and her companions, the two of them alone were no longer able to fight against the five people in front of them.

As she retreated, Qiu Fanghui and the four black iron puppets were no longer surrounded and were revealed.

However, at this time, neither he nor Yu Zhenyang and others had time to stop the female cultivator in red.

They all looked at the blue-robed monk who had fallen to the ground, their minds going blank.

"Big, Big Brother, Fellow Daoist Jin Guang's swordsmanship seems to be quite powerful as well."

Cao Mingjie's voice was trembling as he spoke; he was frightened.

Although the sword light was not aimed at him, he was too close and truly felt the fear of death.

As long as Xiao Chen is willing, that sword light can also penetrate his defensive spiritual shield and cut his golden elixir into pieces.

Faced with a being that could take his life at any time, Cao Mingjie felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

"Hi~!"

Ma Wenbo took a deep breath and said, "This is at least a heavenly sword technique!"

His eyes also revealed uncontrollable surprise and a hint of regret.

In his early years, he also tried to learn some sword techniques, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, he was unable to persist.

Seeing Xiao Chen's amazing performance at this moment, he immediately felt incomparable admiration.

Yu Zhenyang didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and patted the shoulders of his two junior brothers.

He completely understood the feeling.

Especially Ma Wenbo's shock at the swordsmanship, he had already felt the same way before.

"The light of the heart breaks!"

Now that he had started, Xiao Chen no longer held back and planned to end the battle quickly.

Therefore, he directly activated the wind and thunder sword and slashed out again.

If 'soaring straight up into the clouds' emphasizes the majestic momentum of piercing through the clouds, it is more suitable for breaking formations.

Then this move 'Heart Light Break' is more suitable for one-on-one use, especially it is most effective against the body-protecting Xuan Guang.

"Click~!"

The sound of the spiritual shield shattering was heard.

The blue-robed monk's heart tightened, but he did not feel any impact.

"Ah~!"

A shrill scream came from behind him.

Turning around, he saw that the retreating female cultivator in red had been cut in half.

Xiao Chen has always followed a habit in fighting, which is to pick the softest persimmon first.

The blue-robed monk in front of him cast two spiritual shields and also used defensive spells.

The female cultivator in red simply hid behind a spiritual shield and was busy crying.

He naturally chose to attack the more fragile one first, and sure enough, he succeeded with one strike.
