Chapter 771: The sword picks the half-step true fairy!
Without staying at the Zhou family for too long, Zhou Yang waited for Li Hong's 100-day mourning period to pass before leaving the Zhou family and embarking on his return journey.
What he didn't expect was that he would be followed shortly after he left the Zhou family.
Although the person who was following him had extremely extraordinary cultivation and was extremely clever at hiding his aura.
But the other party obviously didn't expect that his spiritual consciousness was already powerful enough to surpass that of a monk at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, a "half-step true immortal".
Because he was afraid of implicating the Zhou family, even though Zhou Yang discovered that someone was following him, he still did not show any signs of it, and did not even change the direction of travel.
It wasn't until he had flown more than 100,000 miles and was less than 100,000 miles away from Huohuashan Cave that he suddenly stopped flying.
I saw him move, flying out from the [Piaomiao Cloud Cart], raising his hand to put the magic weapon into his sleeve, looking back at the void behind him with a gloomy expression and coldly shouted: "Your Excellency followed Zhou.
Do you have any advice?"
"You were able to discover me! It seems that I really underestimated you before."
The strong wind in the void suddenly calmed down, and an old man in purple clothes appeared with a surprised look on his face.
"I wonder who would follow Zhou for no reason. It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xiao from Zixia Sect!"
Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the old man in purple with a cold expression and said solemnly: "Even if you, fellow Daoist Xiao, are a ninth-level monk of Nascent Soul, you still have to give Zhou an explanation for what happened today!"
It turns out that the old man in purple is Xiao Yuanli, the guardian of the superpower "Six Paths Alliance", "Zhenren Zixia".
Xiao Yuanli obviously did not expect that Zhou Yang would dare to "utter arrogant words" like this after recognizing his identity.
He was slightly stunned at first, then his face darkened, and he smiled coldly and said: "Hahaha, young people really don't know what the world is, and they dare to say anything!"
"Is Taoist Fellow Xiao trying to rely on his elders to show off his strength? Then let Zhou teach fellow Taoist Master some clever tricks!"
Zhou Yang shouted loudly, waved his sleeves, and silver flying swords came out from his sleeves, and soon filled the sky.
"This is... such a big gesture!"
Xiao Yuanli looked startled, looking at the thirty-six silver flying swords with amazement on his face, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He has been practicing for nearly three thousand years, and this is the first time he has seen so many sixth-level flying swords at the same time, and the first time he has seen such a complete set of sixth-level flying swords.
With his cultivation level, if it was just a sixth-level flying sword, even a high-grade sixth-level flying sword, it would not be enough to move him at all.
But a set of thirty-six sixth-level flying swords, even if they were only low-level sixth-level flying swords, was enough to make him marvel and stern.
He looked at Zhou Yang with bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "In the past, I only heard that you, Master Qianyang, have unparalleled magical powers in body refining, and that you have many treasures and wealth. I didn't expect that you actually hid such a magical sword formation and never showed it to anyone!
"
"But that's fine. Let me show you today how powerful the sword formation magical power hidden in Zhou Daoyou's hand is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a purple treasure flag appeared in his hand.
He held the purple treasure flag in his hand and waved it slightly, and a purple glow swept towards Zhou Yang in the air.
Duh!
Zhou Yang activated the sword technique in his hand, and the flying swords flying around him shot out one after another.
As the sword light shines, the purple glow has been scattered.
After easily killing Xiao Yuanli's probing attack, Zhou Yang was unwilling to give the other party another chance to test.
He pinched the sword techniques with both hands one after another, and the huge spiritual consciousness was divided into thirty-six strands and firmly attached to the thirty-six [Dayan Tiangang Sword], making each flying sword like an arm commanding, accurately and quickly following a certain direction.
A mysterious trajectory started to move.
In the blink of an eye, thirty-six flying swords surrounded Xiao Yuanli from all directions.
Congeal!
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with light as he fired the last spell in his hand.
Suddenly, thirty-six silver flying swords simultaneously inspired a dazzling silver sword light. Pulled by a strange pulling force, the brilliant sword light instantly connected together, forming a sea of sword light that was more than ten acres in size.
Xiao Yuanli was submerged in it.
After practicing swordsmanship on Huohua Mountain for eight years, Zhou Yang finally understood the ultimate sword formation in the "Dayan Sword Art", the "Dayan Tiangang Sword Formation" with thirty-six flying swords as the base.
Once the sword formation was completed, it automatically absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world to replenish and consume it, greatly saving Zhou Yang's mana consumption.
Otherwise, even if his cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, the thirty-six sixth-level flying swords cannot last for even a quarter of an hour.
If Xiao Yuanli, who was trapped in the sword formation, wanted to break out of the formation, he would either have to use absolutely powerful force to defeat the entire sword formation in one fell swoop, or he would have to fight Zhou Yang and waste his mana until Zhou Yang could no longer hold on and disperse the sword formation.
It's just that both methods are not easy.
The former would be difficult to achieve unless he had a seventh-level immortal weapon in hand.
As far as Zhou Yang knows, there is no treasure like a seventh-level immortal weapon in the [Six Paths Alliance].
In the case of the latter, the sword formation can absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world to replenish consumption, greatly saving Zhou Yang's mana. In addition, Zhou Yang himself can also absorb the [Spiritual Marrow Stone] to replenish his mana.
Even if his cultivation level is two levels higher than Zhou Yang's, he may not be able to outsmart Zhou Yang when he is trapped in a sword formation and constantly needs to expend a lot of mana to resist the attacks of the sword formation.
"The magical powers of the Zixia Sect are all geared toward defense and trapping enemies. If this [Zhenzhen Zixia] had not practiced any other offensive magical powers, he who was trapped in the sword array by me today would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die!
"
Zhou Yang looked calm and tried his best to keep the sword formation running, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
This was his first battle after breaking through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, and it was also the first time that he faced off against a monk at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, a "half-step true immortal", alone, and gained the upper hand.
Obviously, if he can defeat [Zixia Zhenren] Xiao Yuanli in this battle today, it means that his own cultivation strength alone is enough to rank among the strongest immortal cultivators in this world.
This is undoubtedly a very exciting thing for him who is about to implement that big plan.
However, out of his usual caution, he still used some strength to summon Taoist Lan who was hiding in the [Dongxuan Pearl] to protect him.
With his full combat power, Taoist Lan protector can suppress the monks at the ninth level of Nascent Soul who are at the "half-step true immortal" level. Regardless of whether the sword formation can trap Xiao Yuanli in the end, he is already in an invincible position.
In the sword formation, Xiao Yuanli was frightened and angry at the moment, trying his best to use the purple flag in his hand to protect himself against the sword light and flying sword strangulation.
Although he had given Zhou Yang enough attention before, he summoned his own magical weapon from the beginning.
But reality gave him a slap in the face, making him realize how big of a mistake he had made.
At this moment, he was trapped in the sword formation. From his perspective, he could certainly see how powerful and difficult this sword formation was.
It can be said that it is specifically targeted at him!
It was precisely because he saw how powerful and difficult the sword formation was that he did not rush to use any means to break the formation in a panic. Instead, he concentrated on protecting himself and first observed the attack strength and attack methods of the sword formation.
But the more carefully he observed, the more frightened Xiao Yuanli became, and his face became uglier.
Seriously speaking, the attack method of this sword array is not very novel. It is nothing more than covering the enemies within with sharp and sharp sword light, attacking continuously, and occasionally the flying sword itself will join in.
But sometimes it is this simple and repetitive attack that is the most difficult to deal with.
Xiao Yuanli saw clearly that when those sword lights attacked him, except for the sword lights that were destroyed by himself, even if the other sword lights were scattered, they would be absorbed by the power of the sword array and transformed into new sword lights again.
Attack yourself.
This means that if he cannot break the sword formation and break this cycle, it will be impossible for him to rely on a war of attrition to exhaust Zhou Yang's mana.
But to break the sword formation...
Xiao Yuanli thought it would be better to take another look.
Time passed slowly, and an hour passed quickly.
Zhou Yang now became more and more confident about victory.
At this moment, he continued to control the sword formation to consume Xiao Yuanli's mana, and the mana aura on his body was weakened by more than 20 to 30%.
And by constantly absorbing the spiritual power from the [Spiritual Marrow Stone] to replenish his mana, his own mana still remains at more than 70%.
If he continues to consume it, he will definitely consume Xiao Yuanli to death.
But he also knew that Xiao Yuanli would not sit still and wait for death. This hour was enough for him to observe the situation of the sword formation. He would definitely try to break the formation with violent means next.
"Come on, let me see what other methods you are hiding!"
A cold light flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes, and the magic formula in his hand suddenly changed, but he started to attack first.
In the sea of sword light that trapped Xiao Yuanli, thirty-six flying swords suddenly appeared and pierced him at the same time.
This wave of changes caught Xiao Yuanli off guard. He quickly used another golden bell magic weapon to cover himself based on the existing protection.
clang clang clang clang!
One flying sword after another pierced the Golden Bell Magic Artifact, knocking the sixth-level mid-level defensive magic weapon into pieces, causing sparks to fly everywhere, and the sound of a bell ringing loudly.
After all the thirty-six flying swords were bounced away by the rotating golden bell, the golden bell was already covered with cracks and was on the verge of being scrapped.
That's it now!
Xiao Yuanli, who was in the golden bell, had his eyes fixed. He ignored the loss of the magic weapon and directly used it to drive the magic weapon forward and hit it forward.
Bang!
Unsurprisingly, the Golden Bell Magical Artifact moved forward for more than ten feet before being completely exploded into countless fragments by the sharp sword light.
But at this time, Xiao Yuanli suddenly spurted out a mouthful of his natal essence and blood, which landed on his natal magic weapon [Purple Cloud Banner].
"Nine turns of purple clouds will break through the calamity and soar into the sky!"
Accompanied by a clear and long roar, an intense purple glow suddenly shot out from the purple flag in Xiao Yuanli's hand, soaring into the sky and cutting through the sea of sword light.
At the same time, at the same moment when the purple ray of light rising into the sky cut through the sea of sword light, Xiao Yuanli himself also turned into a wisp of purple light, and followed the purple ray of light and rushed out of the sword formation.
All these changes happened in a flash of lightning. By the time Zhou Yang realized something was wrong, Xiao Yuanli had already rushed out of the sword formation.
"Child Zhou Yang, your sword formation has been broken by me. Now it's time for you to have a taste of my magical power!"
Xiao Yuanli, who had finally escaped from the trap after suffering a big loss, would certainly not let it go with Zhou Yang. He would retaliate even if he shouted harshly.
But before his voice fell, Taoist Lan, who was protecting Zhou Yang, suddenly took action and directly used the power of the five elements to form a powerful beam of light and bombarded him, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards on the spot.
"Ah ah ah ah, you despicable villain secretly ordered someone to attack me secretly. I remember you, and I will definitely make you pay the price in the future!"
Se Li's words were full of panic that could not be concealed.
The appearance of Taoist Lan completely defeated Xiao Yuanli's fighting spirit.
He immediately forgot the cruel words he had just said, and without even having time to clean up the blood stains on his chest, he transformed into a purple glow and fled the battlefield.
The monk at the level of "Half-step True Immortal" on the ninth level of Nascent Soul ran away for his life, and his speed was very fast. At least Zhou Yang would definitely not be able to catch up.
But Taoist Lan could catch up if he used his "Teleport" magical power at full power.
But Zhou Yang was not willing to waste the power that Taoist Lan had accumulated after devouring five top-quality spiritual stones for Xiao Yuanli.
Although it was a pleasure to kill Xiao Yuanli today, it also meant that he would completely offend the superpower [Six Paths Alliance].
This is not in his interest and will have a huge negative impact on the big plan he is about to launch.
As for Xiao Yuanli's harsh words before leaving, he didn't take it to heart.
In this battle, he had tested out the details of Xiao Yuanli's strength, and Xiao Yuanli had also seen his strength. As long as he was not stupid, he would never appear in front of him again in the future.
What's more, as far as he knew, Xiao Yuanli's life span was running out.
Not long after, a shocking news came out from the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent.
[Six Dao Alliance] Guardian "Zixia Zhenren" Xiao Yuanli quietly sneaked into the territory of "Xuanqing Dao Alliance" because his lifespan was not far away, intending to plot against "Qianyang Zhenren" Zhou Yang, who had just broken through to the late Yuanying stage, and ruin his future.
The foundation of enlightenment.
As a result, because he misjudged the strength of "Qian Yang Zhenren" Zhou Yang, he was injured and escaped. It is said that his vitality and longevity were also damaged.
After the news came out, the first reaction of many monks was that they didn't believe it and thought it was a rumor.
However, when they learned that the news was released by "Master Qianyang" Zhou Yang himself, but "Master Zixia" Xiao Yuanli did not stand up to refute, all the Nascent Soul monks who heard the news fell silent.
Although after news of Zhou Yang's breakthrough to the late stage of Nascent Soul came out, many people said that holding the seventh-level immortal weapon [Suzaku Fan], his strength would not be inferior to that of a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal"
monk.
But more people are skeptical about this matter and don't think Zhou Yang can really do this.
However, now, with the news of Zhou Yang's victory over "Zixia Zhenren" Xiao Yuanli, no one can doubt his conclusion about his strength.
After this battle, among the high-level monks in Liuyunzhou's immortal world, Zhou Yang's status as "Master Qianyang" was naturally raised to the same level as that of the "Half-step True Immortal" monks on the ninth level of Nascent Soul.
When many Yuanying stage monks talk about him, they will add the honorific title "Zhenren Qianyang" before his real name.
