Zhang Ruochen completely released his mental power, stretched out his arms, spread his hands flat on his chest.
"Wow!"
In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly vibrated, turning into a whirlpool-like flow of power that revolved around Zhang Ruochen.
That airflow only appeared for a moment, but then suddenly dissipated.
Failed!
Practicing third-level spells will definitely not go so smoothly.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and studied the contents of the lizard hide again, carefully looking for the places that he had just ignored. After studying for a long time, Zhang Ruochen started practicing again.
"Wow!"
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth once again formed a vortex, like a wall of wind, tightly wrapping Zhang Ruochen's body.
Then, Zhang Ruochen carefully controlled his mental power and lifted it up, and all the spiritual energy from heaven and earth suddenly converged on a point above his head.
Gradually, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into the power of thunder and lightning, and gradually began to condense.
"Boom!"
Just as he was about to succeed, the power of thunder and lightning suddenly exploded, erupting with a powerful force. Zhang Ruochen had no time to dodge and was injured by the power of thunder and lightning.
Fortunately, he was protected by Dragon Balls, so he wasn't seriously injured.
The difficulty of practicing level 3 spells is far beyond Zhang Ruochen's expectations. If you are distracted even a little bit, you won't be able to control the power of thunder and lightning.
Zhang Ruochen was not discouraged and worked hard to adjust his mentality and practice again.
Failed again and again, rebuilt again and again.
Time passed like this, minute by minute, and it took more than thirty days. Zhang Ruochen failed more than 380 times, leaving himself scarred and blackened, before he successfully cultivated the "Electric Fire Vortex".
Zhang Ruochen practices magic solely to conceal his true identity, and his major is still martial arts.
However, successfully practicing a third-level spell like "Electric Fire Vortex" still enhanced his strength a lot.
With his forty-fourth level of mental strength, coupled with the amplification of thunder beads, he can cast a third-level spell, which is enough to make the ordinary monks of the ninth fish-dragon transformation run away.
At the same time, when Zhang Ruochen was practicing the third-level spell "Electric Fire Whirlpool", the power of the third peak of the fish-dragon transformation was completely consolidated, reaching a state where it could be freely retracted and released.
If he opens the first holy vein now, the probability of success can be increased to 30%.
Zhang Ruochen roughly estimated the time and found that he had been in the picture scroll world for almost five months during this retreat.
"It should have been half a month for the outside world, and they don't know how far the situation has developed?"
This was a critical period, and Zhang Ruochen did not dare to stay in seclusion for too long, so he stopped practicing.
After exiting the picture scroll world, Zhang Ruochen immediately went to Shengliu Hall.
Along the way, Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel that Hongliu Villa had changed a lot from half a month ago. First of all, the number of evil warriors in the villa suddenly increased a lot. Secondly, the atmosphere of the entire villa became very heavy, and there was always a feeling of discomfort.
It gives people an indescribable feeling of depression.
Did something major change happen during his retreat?
"Meet the Great Protector."
Outside the Holy Willow Hall, two maids saluted Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen nodded to them and walked straight into the door.
The envoy of Red Desire was sitting at the top. When he saw Zhang Ruochen, he immediately put down what he was doing and raised his voice: "Great Protector, you are finally out of seclusion! How are you, have you succeeded in cultivating the electric fire vortex?"
"Of course I won't disappoint Lord Star Messenger."
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a palm and slowly opened it.
The palm of the hand seemed to have turned into a thick earth, and above it, traces of electric light condensed, forming a small lightning vortex, making a crackling sound.
The Red Desire Star Envoy has long been immune to Zhang Ruochen's super fast cultivation speed. Although he was amazed in his heart, he did not show it.
The Red Desire Star Envoy nodded and said solemnly: "A lot of things have happened in Qingyun County during this period. I know that you are in seclusion, so I didn't send anyone to disturb you."
Zhang Ruochen could see that there was a sad look on the Red Desire Star Envoy's eyebrows, and he was obviously in big trouble.
He pressed his five fingers together, and the lightning vortex dispersed automatically, and asked: "Has Emperor Yi arrived in Qingyun County?"
"Di Yi is still hiding in the dark, and his whereabouts are secretive. I don't know if he has arrived in Qingyun County. However, the Tsing Yi Star Envoy and the Ice Demon arrived first, and broke into Hongliu Villa once. Two of them are loyal to me.
The master of the Seventh Transformation of Fish-Dragon was killed by them." The Red Desire Star Envoy said angrily.
In fact, the Red Desire Star Envoy was not angry because of the tragic death of the two masters of the Seventh Transformation of Fish and Dragon. What really made her angry was that someone was acting as an internal agent. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Tsing Yi Star Envoy and the Ice Demon to break into Red Willow Villa and still return home.
Can escape whole body.
The Red Desire Star Envoy's mood seemed a little depressed, and he said: "Now, in Qingyun County, all those who are loyal to me are assassinated almost every day, and everyone is in danger."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Why don't you withdraw your personnel to Hongliu Villa?"
The Red Desire Star envoy laughed self-deprecatingly: "Three days ago, I had already withdrawn most of my troops to Hongliu Villa. But what can I do? Now, as long as anyone walks out of Hongliu Villa, he will be killed immediately."
"I suspect that not only the Tsing Yi Star Envoy and the Ice Demon have come to Qingyun County, it is very likely that the number one killer of the Blood Cloud Sect, 'Orion', is also hiding near the villa. Only he can kill people invisible."
"If you continue to hide in the villa, you will be like a turtle in the urn of Di Yi. When the time is right, he will catch them all."
The Red Desire Star Envoy's expression was still relatively calm, but Zhang Ruochen could feel the helplessness and loss in her heart, and perhaps a hint of unwillingness.
In just half a month, the originally ambitious envoy of the Red Desire seemed to have turned into a weak woman in need of care and help.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal.
Before Di Yi came forward in person, he only sent two or three subordinates, and the force carefully cultivated by the Red Wish Star Envoy was attacked to pieces, and he could only huddle in a villa.
If the situation is allowed to develop, let alone a decisive battle with Di Yi, I am afraid that there will be turmoil within Hongliu Villa, which will lead to self-defeat.
In fact, the Red Desire Star Envoy had long wanted to talk to Zhang Ruochen to discuss countermeasures.
For some reason, now, when she encounters something that cannot be solved, she always thinks of Zhang Ruochen first.
At this moment, the Red Desire Star Envoy's beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen looked very calm and said: "Di Yi has arranged two groups of people, one for the light and one for the dark. The Tsing Yi Xing envoy is in the light, deliberately disturbing us and weakening our strength, so that we have to retreat to Hongliu Villa.
.”
"Di Yi is hiding in the dark and quietly observing. Once there is an internal turmoil in Hongliu Villa, he will uproot Hongliu Villa with the force of thunder."
The Red Desire Star envoy said: "Of course I also know Di Yi's purpose, but how can we open up the current situation?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Now, we have only one way to go, and that is to take the initiative. If we can kill the Tsing Yi Star Envoy and the Ice Demon, it will not only boost our morale, but also force Di Yi out of the darkness. Only
Only when Di Yi shows up proactively can we have a chance to win."
The disparity in strength between the two sides was huge. In fact, Zhang Ruochen had no good solution.
The red eyebrows of the Red Desire Star Envoy frowned slightly, thinking carefully, and said: "The Tsing Yi Star Envoy and the Ice Demon are both top-notch masters. Only I, the Master of the Blood Cloud Sect, can compete with them in the entire Red Willow Villa."
Let's face it. If you want to kill the two of them, you will need at least six masters like you. What's more, in addition to the two of them, there is also a top killer who may be hiding in the dark, Orion.
"
"If we take the initiative to attack, we will definitely lose both sides. By then, Emperor Yi will come out of the darkness again and again, waiting for work, and we may not even have a chance to escape."
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Do you want to give up?"
The Red Desire Star Envoy shook his head and said: "If I leave now, I am at least 50% sure that I can escape unscathed. However, those who are loyal to me in Hongliu Villa will definitely be massacred, and I must fight for them.
Responsible. Therefore, even if I die, I will persist until the last moment."
"In that case, why don't we plan carefully, maybe we can find a way to survive in this desperate situation?" Zhang Ruochen said.
The Red Desire Star Envoy was still hesitant, always feeling that Zhang Ruochen's method was too risky.
If he stayed at Hongliu Villa and relied on the formations in the villa, he would at least have a chance to fight Di Yi.
On the contrary, once you take the initiative to attack, you will definitely lose the protection of the formation. When the time comes, there will be a huge disparity in power between the enemy and ourselves, how can we still fight?
At this moment, a white light appeared outside the door.
"call out!"
A messenger light symbol flew in from outside.
The envoy of Red Desire stretched out a hand, grabbed it forward, and collected the communication light talisman.
After reading the contents of the communication light talisman, the Red Desire Star envoy's expression did not change and he just put away the communication light talisman.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "What happened?"
"It's not a big deal." The Red Desire Star envoy said calmly: "It's just that I didn't expect that Di Yi would actually deal with the devil's saint."
Zhang Ruochen, who had always been calm, suddenly felt a powerful wave of ability emitting from his body. He took a step forward and asked, "Why did Di Yi want to deal with the Holy Girl of the Demon Cult? What's going on?"
The Red Desire Star Envoy stared at Zhang Ruochen in surprise and asked curiously: "Why are you so worried about the safety of the Demonic Saint?"
Zhang Ruochen tried his best to contain his emotions and said: "It's nothing, I just met her once."
After a pause, he continued: "I think, since Emperor Yi wants to deal with the devil's saint, why don't we use the devil's saint to deal with him?"
The Red Desire Star Envoy shook his head and said: "It's a pity that it's too late. According to the news just transmitted, last night, the Tsing Yi Star Envoy and the Ice Demon broke into a stronghold of the Demon Sect, killed them wantonly, and seriously injured the Saint of the Demon Sect.
.It is said that the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect has escaped from Qingyun County and is heading towards the Falling God Mountain Range."
