Chapter 437: In the middle of the duel, take advantage of the situation (updated in the evening)
Chapter 438: In the middle of the duel, take advantage of the situation (updated in the evening)
"How could Mr. Lu be so virtuous and capable that he, a mere newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, actually asked the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley to personally take action?"
Looking at the harmless, fat old man, Lu Changan's face turned solemn, which seemed a little unexpected.
"Lu Changqing, your reputation has spread throughout the Eastern Territory. You are no longer an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Why do you need to show off in front of this old man?"
The great elder smiled, touched his exposed belly, and said slowly.
Over the years, Lu Changan has brought too much trouble to Beast King Valley, directly disrupting the existing strategic plan.
Lu Changan returned to the Eastern Territory, bringing with him the combat power of the three Nascent Souls, which made the leader of the Wei Dao Alliance fight without seeking peace. The peaceful evolution of the annexation plan went bankrupt.
Lu Changan humiliated the Peacock Saint and slapped the two Nascent Soul elders in the face, leaving the Beast King Valley unprepared and hastily starting the Immortal Cultivation War.
A few years ago, Lu Changan lost two true kings of the Beast King Valley, once again affecting the balance of top combat power between the two sides.
What frightened Beast King Valley the most was that Lu Changqing killed two fourth-level beast kings one after another, both killing them with one blow.
The existence of Lu Changan has become a nightmare for the war machines in the Beast King Valley!
If this continues, Beast King Valley will be unable to attack the Defending Alliance, and its only frontal advantage will be gone.
Lu Changan's influence is not limited to the Demonic battlefield on the side of the Guardian Alliance, but also indirectly affects the Seven Nations Alliance.
The situation in the Seven-Nation Alliance has stabilized in recent years.
The Beast King Valley not only withdrew the assistance from there, but also asked for help from the Underworld Sect and the Wujian Sect, which in disguise weakened the offensive firepower of the Seven Nations Alliance.
"The Great Elder is here today, but he plans to intercept and kill Lu?"
Lu Changan sighed inwardly. It seemed that it would be a bit difficult to fish in troubled waters on the main battlefield and seize the opportunity to capture the Demonic Nascent Soul.
He borrowed the power of the Heavenly Master to lay out the plan for a long time and concealed many secrets.
But the Great Elder of Beast King Valley is also a fourth-level divination master, so he is not so easy to deceive.
As long as this great elder is not stupid, he can now determine one fact:
Lu Changan is the biggest variable that determines the outcome of this immortal cultivator war, and is even the key winner.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to lower his status and came to target Lu Changan in person.
"This elder doesn't like fighting and killing."
"As long as Lord Lu Zhen, Lord Diyan, and Fairy Xia don't leave this frontline area, I will be happy and at ease."
The great elder's tone was easy-going and he didn't seem to have murderous intentions.
Lu Changan was not fooled by this appearance.
If possible, Beast King Valley would like to cut himself into pieces.
It's just that Lu Chang'an represents the combat power of the three great Nascent Souls. Even if he is the leader of the Demon Sect in the middle Nascent Soul stage, it is unrealistic to kill him head-on.
…
"It would be too much for the Great Elder to contain the combat power of the three great Nascent Souls like us."
Lu Changan's eyes flickered, and the [Black Sky Wings] unfolded behind him, trying to fly to Yuanliu City to support the frontal battlefield with Xia Xianzi.
"Haha, fellow Daoist Lu, you might as well give it a try."
The Great Elder remained calm and turned into a cloud of white light that melted into the sky.
Lu Changan had just flown out of a hundred miles.
There was thunder again among the deep clouds, and the mana fluctuations at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, accompanied by the overwhelming spiritual pressure, made people feel numb.
Lu Changan's head suddenly trembled, he raised the cyan mana shield, his figure quickly dodged, and was split into three parts in an instant.
Boo hoo hoo——
More than a dozen translucent crystal silk threads appeared strangely and inexplicably from the void, passing through Lu Changan's quickly dodging figure.
Lu Changan's two phantom wood clones were swept by strange silk threads and were instantly destroyed.
There was a "click" sound.
Lu Changan's protective shield cracked in response, and was pierced by two passing crystal silk threads.
Lu Changan's body felt cold, and the white robe on his shoulders had a clearly visible crack.
That translucent crystal silk is a magical power developed by the great elder of the Beast King Valley in conjunction with the natal silkworm. It is extremely fast and can travel through the shallow layers of the void, making it impossible to prevent it.
Its characteristics are partially similar to Jing Wufeng's space attack method, and it is more sustained and continuous.
Whoops!
The black sky wings behind Lu Changan flapped, and while speeding up to dodge, a black cloud of clouds swept across a hundred feet in radius.
However, the crystalline silk was extremely tough and had strong penetrating power. Many of them penetrated the black wind barrier, forcing Lu Changan to dodge left and right.
"As expected of the leader of the Demon Sect."
Lu Changan took a deep breath, did not dare to neglect, and took out the magic weapon [Dragon Wood Staff].
[Dragon Wood Staff] rose in the wind and turned into an ancient tree nearly a hundred feet tall. The blood-colored dragon shadow was outlined on the surface, blocking most of the crystal silk attacks.
The [Dragon Wood Staff] was wrapped in crystal silk threads. Its surface had a dim aura, and its size shrank rapidly. It was obvious that it could not hold up.
In fact, to deal with this kind of silk attack, fire-attributed magic weapons or magical powers are more effective. For example, the top-notch magic weapon Lihuo Gourd.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
Lu Changan used the puppet control technique again, and twelve top-level third-level puppets appeared around him.
In the puppet army formation, twelve puppet forces converge in series, and arcs flash, forming a purple-green puppet array pattern.
A purple-green light shield protected Lu Changan, bursting out wisps of electric light to resist the strange crystal silk threads that flew from the shallow layer of the void.
That momentum seemed to turn into an overwhelming net, trapping Lu Changan and the puppet formation together.
"Such a large-scale puppet army! This guy really has a hidden agenda."
As expected, the great elder of the Beast King had a gleam in his eyes.
The stronger Lu Changan's strength is, the higher the value of his personal targeting.
The current military formation composed of twelve top-level third-level puppets is enough to withstand the early offensive of the veteran Nascent Soul.
Coupled with Lu Changan himself, he was able to stand firm under the first round of probing attacks by the Great Elder of Beast King Valley.
"Little friend Lu, let's see what other methods you have."
The great elder was very interested, stretched out his arm, and a simple and strange compass flew out of his sleeve.
Whoosh!
The compass magic weapon hovered in the sky above Lu Changan and the puppet military formation, emitting an invisible and qualityless ripple.
The ripples and vortices invisible to the naked eye pull and absorb the surrounding aura and mana.
Lu Chang'an suddenly felt that his mana consumption had increased, the control of the magic weapon became difficult, and his mana and magical powers were invisibly weakened.
Even the puppet military formation is restricted.
The mana of the puppets that started operating in the puppet array was lost inexplicably, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the puppet array's operation.
Lu Changan looked ugly.
After using the puppet army formation, he thought that it would be enough to compete with the new mid-stage Nascent Soul like Zhenjun Mingshui.
Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by the great elder of Beast King Valley in an understatement.
The consumption of puppet crystals in the bodies of many puppets has increased sharply, and they may not be able to last for long.
…
"Master, let me help you!"
In the hills below, earth-colored crystal light emerged, exuding a majestic earthly evil spirit.
Seeing that his master was suppressed, Lord Diyan had no choice but to take action in advance.
It transformed into the form of a giant rat king, causing a yellow sandstorm in the sky, accompanied by huge rolling stones, impacting the great elder and the compass magic weapon.
The great elder smiled slightly and activated the magic formula. The magic power caused the compass in the sky to rotate, and a mysterious hole emerged in the invisible ripple vortex.
Huh~
In an instant, the yellow sandstorm swept over, and the momentum of the huge rolling stone was greatly reduced, disintegrating and analyzing. The escaped magic power was all absorbed.
On the contrary, the rotating compass, the spiritual light surged out of thin air, and briefly stagnated.
Bang!
The compass erupted with a fan-shaped ripple, containing a powerful force field, and hit the fourth-level rat king hard.
Mr. Diyan groaned and flew backwards, his head was slightly sunken and some bloodshot eyes oozed out.
Fortunately, the demon king's body is rough-skinned and thick-flesh, with only some external injuries.
But the momentum of the massive counterattack came to an abrupt end.
From the beginning of the confrontation to the puppet army formation and Diyan Lord appearing one after another, Lu Changan did not pose any threat to the Great Elder of Beast King Valley.
"This old guy has powerful magic power and profound knowledge. No wonder Chu Tianfeng said that on the battlefield, you only need to contain him and don't think about posing a threat, otherwise it will be a thankless task."
Lu Changan was a little unconvinced at first, but after some testing, he came to an understanding.
He adjusted his strategy so that Lord Diyan and the puppet army formation should focus on defense. In the defensive state, the consumption of the puppet army formation was also reduced accordingly.
In this way, it is much easier.
The Great Elder of Beast King Valley seems unable to pose much of a threat to him.
"Lu Chang'an, if you reach the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul, your magic power and spiritual consciousness will be even more powerful. There is really nothing I can do against you."
The great elder sighed, and his calm eyes flashed with a sharp light.
That fat body, with its robes fluttering, took one step, like a mountain moving hundreds of feet.
Soul-slaying hand!
The great elder's palm swelled to the size of a cattail fan, wrapped in white silk, and ignited with blood-black ghost flames, and patted Lu Changan from the air.
Lu Changan's heart skipped a beat and he felt a sense of crisis that he had not seen for a long time.
Hu Peng!
The huge soul-slaying hand with black and white marks, half solid and half ethereal, hit Lu Changan with an unavoidable speed.
At that moment, the space Lu Changan was in had the illusion of overlapping and squeezing.
Lord Diyan, who was not far away, was affected. His soul felt slightly dizzy and confused, and his energy and blood were floating.
After being hit from the front, Lu Changan's magic shield collapsed on the spot.
Not only that, he instantly shot out a fourth-level spiritual talisman water shield, but it was also broken by the half-empty spirit-slaying hand.
"Slaughter the soul and destroy the soul..."
Lu Changan's figure swayed, his face turned slightly pale, and his brows tightened.
The half-empty spirit-slaying hand not only hit his body, but also impacted the Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan used the soul secret technique in "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" to calm his temporarily confused consciousness. The slightly painful cyan Yuanying in his body quickly calmed down and returned to normal.
At the same time, the evergreen magic power operates automatically to heal minor hidden wounds and damaged vitality in the body.
On the other side, the great elder launched an explosive attack, which consumed a lot of mana and spiritual energy, but also paused for a moment.
"Blocked? The injury doesn't seem serious."
The elder frowned slightly and looked at Lu Changan who was steadying his body. He did not achieve the expected effect of vomiting blood on the spot.
Lu Changan opened his eyes and lightly touched the blood on the corners of his lips, as if he was still unfinished.
He hasn't been injured, even slightly, in years.
"The great elder's slap just now caused some pain to Lu. But the aftertaste afterward was an indescribable numbness and comfort."
Under the flow of Changqing's mana, the minor injuries suffered by Lu Changan's quasi-fourth-level body healed instantly and recovered completely.
The great elder's pupils condensed and he said in a deep voice:
"Little friend Lu, please don't let it go! Don't hold it in when you are injured, otherwise problems may arise."
Having said that, the Great Elder felt that the previous attack on the Soul-Slaying Hand was a bit strange after it hit Lu Changan after two layers of buffering.
Lu Changan's body is much tougher than he imagined. He seems to be quite accomplished in physical training as well.
In addition, Lu Changan's Nascent Soul consciousness is powerful, stronger than some veteran Nascent Souls, and he has also practiced exquisite soul secret techniques.
Various factors led to his explosive ultimate move not achieving the expected effect.
But to say that it hardly posed any threat to Lu Changan, he still couldn't believe it.
However, in the ensuing battle of skills, Lu Changan's magic power was strong and endless. The magic weapon controlled by his spiritual consciousness was flexible and free.
Apparently no injuries were sustained.
"This kid is really a turtle shell!"
The Great Elder of Beast King Valley secretly sighed and simply gave up his plan of seriously injuring Lu Changan and defeating him.
Although the Soul-Slaying Hand just now was not his strongest method, it was quite lethal and could not cause any real damage to Lu Changan.
He realized that Lu Changqing was similar to him, and his ability to protect himself was far superior to that of his peers.
When two turtle shells meet together, it is naturally difficult to tell the winner.
…
Above the clouds, Lu Changan and the Great Elder of Beast King Valley clashed for a moment. Both sides adapted to each other's methods. You came and I went, and neither could do anything to the other.
The Great Elder was relatively calm and took more initiative.
During the confrontation, Lu Changan confirmed that the great elder possessed late third-level body refining attainments.
I heard from Chu Tianfeng that this person's natal silkworm has super recovery and healing abilities.
However, Lu Changan has not yet injured the great elder of Beast King Valley;
At this moment, an icy frosty light came from the side, exuding the mana breath of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Husband, I am here to help you!"
Xia Xianzi came from the side and cooperated with Lu Changan to attack the great elder.
The elder's eyelids twitched slightly, it was really endless.
As a thousand-year-old Nascent Soul, at such an advanced age, he was about to face a gang fight from Lu Changan and three others.
The original plan was to contain the three great Nascent Soul forces of Lu Changan, Diyan Lord, and Xia Xianzi.
But before Xia Xianzi had not taken action, Lu Changan was enough to resist him.
He had to admit that Lu Changan's true strength was much stronger than initially expected.
If it were Sect Master Meng who came here, he might be suppressed or even suffer a loss.
Xia Xianzi came over to fight. The Great Elder did not give in, but his expression became solemn.
Xia Xianzi made secrets with her hands, her skirt fluttered, and snowflakes flew, just like an ice and snow fairy.
A magnificent dream-like ice lotus magic weapon made of crystal jade flew out from her body.
The ice lotus magic weapon was divided into seven, turning into seven ice crystal light lotuses that bloomed with green light. Some ice crystal light lotuses rotated around the body to protect the body, and some were extremely flexible to attack the great elder of the Beast King Valley.
Every strike of the Ice Crystal Light Lotus is like the impact of an iceberg, the ice shatters and explodes, sending chills to the bones.
"This treasure integrates offense and defense, is flexible, magical, and powerful. It is definitely not a product of Daqing..."
The Great Elder was slightly surprised, and finally understood why True Monarch Black Feather and Elder Wan He collapsed in the sand at that time.
Xia Xianzi has an innate Taoist body, which has a bonus to cold magical powers, which is exactly in line with that powerful magic weapon. Her fighting skills are no less than those of the veteran Nascent Soul in its early stages.
Faced with the siege of the four, the Great Elder felt pressured and had no choice but to use the [Celestial Silkworm Treasure Clothes] to protect himself.
The treasure robe is woven and refined from heavenly silk. The dense white silk flows and shines, forming a white halo of treasure robe.
[Celestial Silkworm Treasure Clothes] is invulnerable to water and fire. With the powerful magic support of the leader of the Demon Sect, it can block half of the enemy's offensive.
The Beast King Elder also controlled the compass magic weapon to weaken Lu Changan and the puppet formation's fighting strength, absorb mana and spiritual power, and counterattack from time to time.
"The old guy can really carry it."
Lu Changan remained calm and retracted one hand into his sleeve.
After being informed, Mr. Diyan and Fairy Xia immediately cooperated and took action.
Lord Diyan used the technique of Earth Binding to pull the great elder's body.
Fairy Xia opened her mouth and spit out several blue ice flames, exuding a dangerous aura, and flew towards the great elder.
This is the natal ice flame that she cultivated by combining her Taoist talent and the secret method inherited from Lord Lingxue.
Coupled with the frontal attack from Lu Changan's [Dragon Wood Staff], the Great Elder fought and retreated, and the white light shield on his body suddenly dimmed most of the light.
Almost at the same time, Lu Changan's hand hidden in his sleeve robe began to work secretly.
call out--
A feathered poisonous needle passed through the air with a blurred afterimage, and with the foreshadowing of many offensives, it accurately hit the target.
There was a "poof" sound, and the treasure-clothing mask was finally broken.
The great elder escaped from the critical point, and the feather-venomous needle penetrated into the silk-woven treasure garment.
A tiny trace of blood seeped out from the surface of the silk.
Lu Changan looked happy.
This poisonous needle with feathers is smeared with a mixture of fourth-level poisons, which comes from the original [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan]. The old Shen Xie was particularly good at using poison.
It may not be fatal to the mid-stage Nascent Soul, but it is enough to reduce the target's status and fighting strength.
"Lu Wugui, you are indeed very calculating and cunning."
The great elder's face looked slightly gloomy.
Unexpected.
The great elder who was stabbed by the poisonous needle did not look panicked or angry, and he did not take the detoxifying pill immediately.
The great elder stretched out his two fingers, pinched out the feathered poisonous needle on his treasured clothes, and said in a calm tone:
"This level of fourth-level poison can't hurt the old man."
It turns out that his natal silkworm has the magical ability to detoxify and detoxify.
Even the Celestial Silkworm Treasure Clothes on his body has a good isolation effect on poisonous poisons.
Therefore, even if the feathered poisonous needle scratches the elder's flesh, there is no real threat.
He doesn't even need to take the detox.
When the Great Elder saw Lu Changan who was slightly startled in the distance, he inevitably felt a little bit proud.
At this sight, his expression changed drastically.
Whoosh!
Lu Changan in the distance was just an illusory afterimage.
It turned out that when the Great Elder was hit by the Feathered Poison Needle and was temporarily distracted, Lu Changan used "Phantom Wood Clone".
A figure with flowing green light appeared on the other side of the Great Elder.
Destroy the divine light!
Lu Changan decisively used the life-breaking forbidden technique, and a deep and twisted withered green light condensed in his palm, exuding the aura of the cycle of time, and hit the great elder's body again.
puff!
The shield of treasure clothes that had not completely healed was once again broken by the divine light of extinction.
"not good!"
As a thousand-year-old man, the Great Elder's heart was pounding and he felt a threat that had not been seen in hundreds of years.
He turned into a white light and retreated quickly.
The spiritual light of the [Celestial Silkworm Treasure Clothes] on the body is dim. After the refining, the silk fabric has lost its luster and has withered in large areas.
The broken treasure clothes left a dry blood hole on his chest.
"Lu Wugui, you dare——"
The great elder became angry for the first time, the fat on his round face trembled slightly, and his heart was bleeding.
The blow just now cost him ten years of life and life and blood.
If it was an ordinary injury, he wouldn't care at all, the natal silkworm would be healed in an instant.
However, the longevity that is deprived cannot be restored.
In addition to losing longevity, the spirituality of [Celestial Silkworm Clothes] is also damaged, and its defensive effect is sharply reduced.
However, no matter how heartbroken and angry he was, it could not change the fact that he was injured, his life was shortened, and he suffered a great loss.
…
"Prepare to retreat!"
Lu Changan suddenly raised his hand. Instead of pursuing the victory, he even asked Fairy Xia and Lord Diyan to stop.
Right now, the great elder of the Beast King Valley is injured, his energy and blood are depleted, his defensive clothing is damaged, and his condition and strength will definitely decline.
"This little injury has no real impact on the Great Elder of Beast King Valley."
Lu Changan explained as he retreated.
You must know that the natal silkworm of the great elder of the Beast King Valley has another "rebirth" and regains full magical power.
Although this magical power can only be used once in a hundred years.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Changan never thought about being seriously injured and defeated the great elder of Beast King Valley.
It is a relatively ideal situation to be able to shorten his life by ten years and make him feel fearful.
In the middle Nascent Soul stage that Lu Changan encountered, if the Yuhuang brought the greatest pressure, then the great elder of the Beast King Valley was the "strongest shield".
"This kid actually stopped chasing me..."
The great elder caressed his chest, destroying the wounds caused by the divine light and killing the vitality. The healing speed of the natal silkworm was extremely slow.
He was obviously the injured party, but it was Lu Changan who chose to evacuate.
Take advantage and run away?
The great elder felt worse than if he had eaten a fly.
"The situation has become clear..."
Lu Changan's fourth-level divination technique was already in operation, and he sensed the turning point in the fate of the heavens, and the fog of heaven that shrouded the barrier completely dissipated.
The cyan Nascent Soul in Lu Changan's body, blessed to the soul, produced a subtle pull, and it seemed that some kind of opportunity would come.
There were still two hundred miles away from the important frontline town, and Lu Changan instinctively looked in a certain direction.
…
Hundreds of miles away, a demonic wind swept across the sky.
A fourth-order roc with a wingspan of twenty feet flew over at lightning speed.
On the Pengniao, sitting cross-legged, was a man in green robe with a plump figure and an ordinary face, about thirty years old.
The green-robed man does not have any mana fluctuations on his body. The Yuanying and mana in his body are sealed by some secret technique. He does not leak any breath and only relies on the flight of the roc.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please stay. We have been friends with Chen for a long time. We have come to the Weidao League to pay a visit. We have important matters to discuss."
The Pengniao that the green-robed man sat down on was as fast as the mid-stage Nascent Soul, approaching it quickly.
At the same time, he glanced at the position of the great elder of the Beast King Valley and frowned slightly.
"We agreed that a big fight would at least injure Lu Changqing and severely damage his vitality? The situation doesn't seem right..."
"Could it be a scam? Don't trust the immortals of the Six Demonic Sects."
After all, he was hunted down by Nascent Soul masters from two demon sects and almost lost his life.
If it weren't for the delicate situation now, with the Nascent Souls of the two camps balancing each other, and the opportunity being rare, he would not have chosen to cooperate with the Beast King Valley.
"This opportunity will indeed attract you..."
Lu Changan silently estimated the distance.
With his escape speed, he can retreat to the front line before the opponent arrives.
"You go back to the important frontline town first and act according to my husband Yu Jianli's plan."
Lu Changan stayed behind and asked Fairy Xia to evacuate first.
"Husband, be careful." Xia Wenyue was a little worried, but didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, having Fairy Xia stay is also a big help.
But the risks in the next game are not small. There are too many secrets in Lu Changan, so it is best to avoid them.
Lu Changan chose to cut off the queen.
In this way, three powerful auras appeared on the field:
On one side is the Great Elder of Beast King Valley, who has the strongest magical power.
On one side is the fourth-level roc.
The Nascent Soul's magic power sealed by True Lord Aoki has just been released, and the aura of "Evergreen Kung" exuded makes Lu Changan feel more at ease.
The last party is Lu Changan and Diyanjun, who seem to be the weakest.
The three parties almost formed an equilateral triangle, facing each other from a distance, keeping dozens of miles away from each other, and all of them were wary of each other.
