Two thousand five hundred and forty unbreakable tortoise shell
In the sky above the northern city of Ancient Yuan City, beside a young man in rough clothes with a somewhat gloomy face, a large green bell stood in the sky, exuding a mysterious and mysterious aura, making people feel a strange sense of oppression.
"Is that the ancient artifact of the Empress, the Hidden Machine Clock?"
A certain cultivator at the peak of Huaxuan Realm who was watching the battle from the outside had obviously heard of the name Yin Ji Zhong, but had never seen it with his own eyes. At this moment, he sighed with emotion, and his tone was full of envy and passion.
Who wouldn't want to own a peerless magic weapon while standing in the Nine Layers of the Dragon Sky? Especially a heaven-defying thing like an ancient artifact, it is the treasure that all strong men dream of.
But the so-called treasures belong to those who are capable. If you don't have matching strength and rashly own an ancient artifact, you will only become fat in the eyes of others.
Therefore, these onlookers are only envious in their hearts, but do not dare to have the slightest greed.
Whether it is Lu Juetian, the head of the Lu family who controls the Hidden Machine Bell in front of them, or Lu Qinwan, the Empress Canglong, the real owner of the Hidden Machine Bell, they are both beings they can never afford to offend.
"How's it going? Yun Xiao, now that you don't have any hostages in your hands, is there anything else you can say?"
Seeing that Xue Qi had been covered by the Hidden Machine Bell, Lu Juetian was very satisfied, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression he had been feeling for a while, and did not take action immediately.
"Humph, Lu Juetian, have you forgotten that Xue Qi was poisoned by me?"
Yun Xiao had no intention of quarreling with Lu Juetian. He heard him snort coldly, and then quietly changed the seal in his hand. However, such an action only attracted a sneer from the head of the Lu family.
"Huh? You can't feel Xue Qi's breath at all?"
After a while, Yun Xiao's face became even more ugly, because no matter how he changed the seal, he could not make Xue Qi in the Hidden Machine Bell have any connection with his method, and it was impossible to induce
The poison in Xue Qi's body exploded.
"It seems that you don't understand the true meaning of the word 'hidden machine'!"
Seeing the constant changes in the seals in Yun Xiao's hand, the smile on Lu Juetian's face became stronger and stronger. Hearing the words in his mouth, Yun Xiao's movements slowly calmed down.
As the Dragon Sky God of War in his previous life, although Yun Xiao was Lu Qinwan's wife, he didn't know if the latter had been guarding against him. He didn't know much about some of the characteristics of the ancient artifact, the Hidden Machine Bell.
.
"The so-called concealment naturally means that it can hide and isolate all the energy from the outside. People inside can't sense the breath from the outside, and people outside can't feel the breath from the inside. Don't you understand?"
Lu Juetian didn't drag his feet and listened to his talk. He thought that Yun Xiao had no other way to control Xue Qi, so what's the big deal if he just said a few more words?
This is indeed the biggest feature of the Hidden Machine Clock. Otherwise, Lu Juetian would not have borrowed such a treasure from Lu Qinwan. The purpose was to protect Xue Qi.
Lu Juetian had known for a long time that Xue Qi was poisoned, and based on his understanding of Yun Xiao, even he or even Lu Qinwan might not be able to easily neutralize the poison this kid cast. He couldn't afford to take the risk.
Only a treasure like the Hidden Machine Bell can protect Xue Qi completely. After wrapping Xue Qi inside the clock, Lu Juetian believed that no matter what Yun Xiao did, he would never have the slightest connection with Xue Qi inside.
.
Moreover, it was an ancient artifact, and its defense was extremely astonishing. It was absolutely impossible for outsiders to break through it, even for a powerful person like Lu Juetian, who was at the peak of the Holy Realm.
Of course, the prerequisite is that a strong man who is also at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm must use the Hidden Secret Bell, otherwise he will be crushed due to lack of strength just like Yun Xiao did when he used the Treasure Refining Hall.
"Hmph, do you really think I can't break your turtle shell?"
Listening to what Lu Juetian said, Yun Xiao knew that it would be impossible to control Xue Qi just by changing the seals in his hands, so he made a quick decision and instantly thought of another way.
Whoosh!
Yun Xiao stretched out his right hand, and a strange wooden sword appeared in his palm. He grasped it with five fingers and slashed towards the Hidden Machine Bell beside him.
Seeing this scene, Lu Juetian still didn't stop him. Although he also knew that Yun Xiao was holding an ancient artifact, he didn't know much about the Dragon Control Sword, and he didn't think that the wooden sword of this ancient artifact was just that.
It can really break through the hidden machine clock's defense.
In Lu Juetian's view, even the Emperor Dragon Spear of Emperor Canglong couldn't break the Hidden Machine Bell in just a few strikes, let alone an inconspicuous wooden sword?
clang!
However, at the next moment, Lu Juetian's expression changed a little, and he heard a loud sound, as if someone had rung the divine bell, which made people's eardrums hurt.
The Hidden Machine Bell that was originally impossible to shake in Lu Juetian's heart actually started to tremble violently under the blow of the strange wooden sword. This was something he had never thought of before.
In fact, this was due to Yun Xiao's lack of strength and his inability to exert the maximum power of Yulong Sword.
What he relied on was only the sharpness of the Dragon Sword, but once he encountered a treasure that was also an ancient artifact, the effect he received would be greatly reduced.
With Yun Xiao's current strength, the most he can do is use the Dragon Control Sword to cut off a half-step divine weapon like Jue Tian Divine Slash, which can only be regarded as a half-step immortal weapon.
But Lu Qinwan's Hidden Machine Clock, although it has not reached the true level of artifact, is already considered a leader among the level of immortal weapons. Above the entire Nine Layers of Dragon Sky, there is only the Canglong Emperor's Emperor Dragon.
The gun is a match for the others.
If Yun Xiao was also a strong man at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm, it would not be impossible to split the Hidden Machine Bell into pieces with one strike of the Dragon Control Sword in his hand.
But his current strength is too weak. If he wants to exert the power of ancient artifacts, he also needs the blessing of pulse energy. For example, a cultivator of the third realm of mortal level can defeat a third realm of holy veins with an ancient artifact.
Is he a strong man?
The answer is obviously impossible. Yun Xiao is in such a state at this moment, but even so, the terrifying power of Yulong Sword still makes the Hidden Machine Bell tremble violently, and it is not under Lu Juetian's control.
trembling.
Such a scene gave Lu Juetian reason to believe that if Yun Xiao was allowed to strike a few more swords, the Hidden Machine Bell might really be broken, and then he would not be able to explain to Lu Qinwan.
But on the other hand, Lu Juetian felt a surge of fire in his heart. He secretly thought that the strange wooden sword was so powerful that it might be even higher than the Hidden Machine Bell. If he could get it, wouldn't his strength be greatly increased?
Lu Juetian is actually very ambitious. He has always believed that his strength cannot go any further. He just lacks an ancient artifact, the half-step artifact Juetian Divine Slash, which is obviously incapable of reaching his current level of discernment.
However, the number of artifacts in this world is extremely rare. The few known ancient artifacts are all in the hands of some top figures. Lu Juetian is not absolutely sure that he can win.
Now was an excellent opportunity. Lu Juetian, who had already coveted the Dragon Sword, could not help but become several times more coveted after seeing the power of the wooden sword.
"We can't let him continue!"
Fortunately, Lu Juetian still had some sense left and knew that the top priority was not to let Yun Xiao continue to attack the Hidden Machine Bell.
When the borrowed ancient artifact is destroyed, Xue Qi may fall under Yun Xiao's control again, and he will fall short.
There was no way Lu Juetian would let such a thing happen. He also believed that with his own strength, he would not let Yun Xiao strike a second blow, and the next step would be the boy's death.
"Oops!"
Yun Xiao, who was about to strike the second blow, felt that he had been locked by an extremely powerful aura. At that moment, he did not dare to use any more moves. An extremely strong aura erupted from his body, but he still avoided it after all.
He received a blow from Lu Juetian.
Of course, Lu Juetian's blow was not full force, he just wanted to force Yun Xiao away from the Hidden Machine Bell. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Yun Xiao to escape unscathed.
"Huh?"
However, when Lu Juetian turned his attention back to Yun Xiao, who was avoiding somewhere, his eyes couldn't help but shine with a flash of light, because he suddenly sensed the young man in rough clothes in front of him, and when he was in Guishui City,
Something is different.
"Half step to the holy realm!"
Lu Juetian is a Poison Vein Master at the pinnacle of the Saint level. His soul sensing ability is so strong. In just this moment, he has already sensed Yun Xiao at this moment. Even without activating the power of his ancestral veins, he has already reached the level.
Half step to the level of the holy realm.
Yes, after meeting in Guishui City, Yun Xiao once again got the opportunity to make a breakthrough. He broke through to the half-step of the Holy Realm, and was only half a step away from the true early stage of the Holy Realm.
This discovery undoubtedly made the murderous intention in Lu Juetian's heart even more intense. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Yun Xiao failed again this time and let Yun Xiao practice for a few more years.
Maybe when the time comes, not only you, but even the two masters of the Canglong Imperial Palace will be unable to deal with this magical boy in rough clothes, right?
Lu Juetian would never allow such a thing to happen. Today was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Yin Ji Zhong's surprise had actually caused Yun Xiao to lose his last bargaining chip.
Can a peerless strong man who is at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm still be unable to deal with a brat who is only halfway to the Holy Realm?
Lu Juetian has always believed that this kid Yun Xiao only escaped from him time and time again by relying on the advantage of being a hostage.
Now that there are no more hostages, Yun Xiao's biggest reliance has been lost. If Lu Juetian still can't deal with it, it will really become a big joke for Jiuzhong Longxiao.
For a moment, the sky in the northern part of Beiyuan City fell into a strange silence. Everyone stared blankly at the old man and the young man over there, guessing the possible outcome.
