Not only Zhang Meng, Pan Feng, He Qiang, and Xu Zhonghao also changed their expressions, and they all looked at Ning Chen.
Xu You and Jiang Yun raised their eyebrows, both a little surprised.
I saw a powerful aura suddenly blooming from Ning Chen's body, which was the aura of the third level.
Generally speaking, breakthroughs in small realms are silent and will not have any external manifestations, but breakthroughs in large realms are different.
This is a qualitative transformation, and it is also a transformation of life. From one level to another, the cultivator cannot control his own power for a moment, resulting in the temporary exposure of his breath.
Some experienced people can tell from the exposed aura that a person has made a breakthrough, and can even tell which level the person has broken through to.
At this moment, Ning Chen was making a breakthrough.
Originally, he was not far from the third level. This time he killed the golden tiger. The energy fed back by the Bronze Immortal Palace was huge. It filled his body and was carried by him. Together with the power of Qi and blood, it continuously washed away the bones...
...
Finally, after repeated washing and tempering, the bones became more and more brilliant, with pale gold covering every bone in the body.
As time goes by, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
In an instant, the bone marrow in the golden skeleton underwent transformation, causing changes in the blood.
The blood in Ning Chen's body became thicker and more shiny. Every blood bead and red blood cell was transforming, becoming more crystal clear, heavier and full of power.
When new blood surges in the blood vessels and flows through the limbs and bones, a powerful aura blooms out, which is Ning Chen's current state.
The third-grade blood exchange realm is accomplished!
Xu You and Jiang Yun knew that Ning Chen was at the peak of the second level. Although they had never experienced it themselves, they quickly realized that Ning Chen had achieved a breakthrough.
Zhang Meng, Pan Feng, He Qiang, and Xu Zhonghao are all third-level warriors. They have experienced this process themselves, and they immediately understood that this boy is not a third-level warrior, but only a peak second-level warrior - but now he is a third-level warrior.
"What should I do?" Pan Feng looked at Zhang Meng.
It's not that they never thought that Ning Chen was a second-grade person, but no one expected that Ning Chen would break through at this time, which disrupted their plan.
What to do now, continue to wait, or take action immediately, taking advantage of the fact that this kid has just broken through to the third level, and his realm is not yet stable, and kills him?
Zhang Meng was very depressed. He had calculated everything, but he never expected that this would happen.
"But it's not all bad." Zhang Meng thought to himself, "This kid should have been at the peak of the second level before, so even if the remaining two are stronger than him, they are at the beginning or middle level of the third level. What did you say before?
He killed a golden tiger at the peak of the third level, so it was probably a bluff."
Zhang Meng had been trying to trick Xu You in the past, trying to find out the details of their cultivation, but he had not been able to succeed.
Ning Chen's breakthrough allowed Zhang Meng to make a judgment.
"In this case......"
Zhang Meng felt murderous intent in his heart.
Since the other party is only at the beginning or middle level of the third rank, then our side has the absolute upper hand, with higher cultivation than the other party, and more people than the other party, so there seems to be no need for any surprises.
With murderous intent rising in his heart, Zhang Meng no longer hesitated, suddenly drew out his sword, and slashed at Xu You: "Do it!"
In an instant, Pan Feng, He Qiang, and Xu Zhonghao also took action.
With Zhang Meng's previous arrangements, the three of them had very clear goals.
Pan Feng held an Emei thorn and stabbed Jiang Yun. He Qiang and Xu Zhonghao, one holding a long knife and the other holding a long stick, rushed towards Ning Chen one from the left and the other from the right.
This was so sudden that Xu You was caught off guard. In a hurry, he only had time to raise his hand to block. He only heard a "dang" sound and the long knife slashed on the glove.
Zhang Meng is a third-grade high-level practitioner, a level higher than Xu You, and it was unexpected. Although Xu You blocked it, he was unable to withstand the terrible force, and his arm was blown away.
He immediately retreated, but he was still a little slow, and Zhang Meng's long knife swept across his shoulder, causing blood to spatter.
"I was careless." Xu You's heart sank.
He did not question why the other party did this, because it was meaningless. The other party had obviously planned it in advance, and his purpose was nothing more than seeking money and killing people.
At this time, what else are you asking?
At the same time, Pan Feng's Emei thorn also arrived in front of Jiang Yun.
However, Jiang Yun's reaction was faster than Pan Feng expected. Almost as soon as Zhang Meng made his move, the Qinglu Sword had already been unsheathed.
No one noticed that Jiang Yun, who had been hugging her arms and saying nothing, actually kept the fingers of her right hand pressed on the Qinglu Sword.
In fact, Jiang Yun was on guard before Zhang Meng and others took action.
While Xu You and Zhang Meng were chatting, and while He Qiang and Pan Feng were flirting, Jiang Yun remained silent and observed silently.
Although He Qiang and Pan Feng acted very well, she was still keenly aware that Pan Feng and He Qiang were not lovers, and there was no ambiguity - because she had a delicate mind and was also a woman. Pan Feng's actions were very good. , but the eyes are wrong.
Of course, this doesn't mean anything, nor does it mean that the other party is malicious, but it is enough to keep Jiang Yun vigilant.
Before Pan Feng's attack could arrive, Jiang Yun had already drawn her sword.
Li Zi Jue!
The first move was the Li Zi Jue of "Taiyi Light Splitting Sword Jue". The Qinglu sword flashed with a misty green light, and the sword flowers bloomed, covering Pan Feng.
"No, Pan Feng, be careful."
Zhang Meng reminded loudly.
As the leader of the team, he also needed to pay attention to the situation of others while fighting Xu You. When the Qinglu Sword was unsheathed, his expression suddenly changed, because he immediately understood that this was not a C-level weapon, at least a B-level weapon. , maybe even higher.
If it were a C-level weapon, it would be okay. Pan Feng also used a C-level weapon, but the quality was very average. It was considered the most common type among C-level weapons, but it would not be a big disadvantage.
But it won't work against Qinglu Sword.
Pan Feng also realized the danger, but it was too late.
I saw blossoming sword flowers exploding, and then heard a few "ding-ding" sounds. Pan Feng looked at the Emei Thorn in his hand in horror, a C-level weapon, which was cut off by the opponent's long sword, leaving only one piece left. There are also several deep sword marks on the part.
The Emei thorn is not a long weapon. It is characterized by its slenderness and dexterity. In conjunction with the natural softness of women, the essence of defeating the enemy is to use surprise to defeat the enemy.
This kind of weapon is not resistant to being made, let alone the Qinglu Sword.
With just one blow, only half of the Emei Thorn was left, only about ten centimeters. It was not qualified as a dagger and its lethality was greatly reduced.
However, Pan Feng was in the middle of the third level of cultivation. Although his weapons were not as good as Jiang Yun's, his cultivation level was higher than that of Jiang Yun. He reacted quickly, retreated quickly, and was not injured.
However, looking at the Emei Thorn with only half of it left in his hand and most of its lethality lost, and looking at the extraordinary Qinglu Sword flashing in Jiang Yun's hand, Pan Feng couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart: "Damn it, this bitch People actually have such magical weapons."
...
Here, He Qiang and Xu Zhonghao have already reached Ning Chen, attacking with long knives and sticks, aiming to kill him with one blow.
At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bright, and he slapped the ground, using the force to move back several meters.
boom!
Originally, Ning Chen was sitting on a big rock. At this moment, the rock was shattered by the attacks of He Qiang and Xu Zhonghao. The broken stones flew everywhere, making a "chichi" sound.
Seeing that the two men missed each other and Pan Feng was in trouble again, Zhang Meng was in a bad mood and cursed angrily: "You two idiots, kill that kid quickly and help Pan Feng."
At this time, Pan Feng and Jiang Yun were fighting together again.
Originally Pan Feng's cultivation level was much higher than Jiang Yun's, but now he couldn't take any advantage and was even faintly suppressed.
First, Jiang Yun's body skills are mysterious, and the "Taiyi Light Splitting Sword Technique" is astonishingly powerful; second, the sharp Qing Lu Sword makes Pan Feng extremely fearful and dare not touch it. She has no doubt that if Qing Lu Sword is used, If you hit it with a cut, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.
Pan Feng was not stupid. Knowing that he could not defeat Jiang Yun, he immediately changed his strategy and just fought with Jiang Yun and held her back. Zhang Meng and the other three would come to help her after the battle was resolved.
"Oh." He Qiang responded, holding a long knife and killing Ning Chen, and yelled, "Boy, accept your life."
The corner of Xu Zhonghao's mouth twitched next to him, and he thought to himself, "Are you such a funny guy? You have watched too many TV dramas, and you still have to shout one sentence before killing someone?"
Of course, he was not slow in taking action and followed immediately.
Ning Chen glanced at Xu You and Jiang Yun.
There is no need to worry about Jiang Yun, who has the upper hand, but Xu You is in some danger. He has been injured, with blood on his shoulder. He was beaten back by Zhang Meng, but he wants to help Xu You. We have to deal with these two guys in front of us first.
