The primary purpose of their trip was to kill Shangguan Tianque, so to deal with a late Nascent Soul monk, it was most appropriate to use two people with the same late stage cultivation.
The remaining two people were handed over to the last masked monk in red robes, and he was asked to lead the remaining three people to kill them quickly. This was also an easier task, and no one must be left alive.
But from the perspective of the masked red-robed monk, he was extremely unwilling. Whoever killed Shangguan Tianque would receive different rewards when he returned.
However, in order to achieve his goal quickly and it was no longer the time to argue, he still followed the other party's suggestion and ended the matter satisfactorily.
However, he believed that as long as the three mid-stage Nascent Soul monks could trap one person at will, he would quickly kill one person first, and then go over and kill the other person.
When the time comes, if he comes over immediately and the three of them kill Shangguan Tianque together, then his contribution will be greater.
He was closer to the old man in gray, but he had never spoken to him, let alone communicated with him, so by coincidence, he and the other man chose Li Yan at the same time.
As a result, the situation on the entire battlefield immediately became clear.
Donglin Tingyue on the other side saw all this immediately, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Everything was exactly as she thought.
The other party assigned two late-stage monks to deal with Shangguan Tianque. This was not beyond her expectation. After all, Shangguan Tianque's cultivation level was there.
What surprised her was that the last late-stage great monk actually chose Li Yan. She didn't know whether the other party saw through the illusions of several people and knew that they were from the same sect, or she was just lucky.
But at this moment, she no longer cares about Li Yan and Shangguan Tianque. Good opportunities are hard to find.
At the same time that Donglin Tingyue soared into the sky, there were two figures diagonally below on both sides, coming together quickly and intercepting her in a cross-cutting direction.
There was light flickering in Donglin Tingyue's eyes, and suddenly her body was blurred. Then, space distortion appeared around her. In an instant, two identical young figures were separated.
As soon as the two figures appeared, their bodies turned in the air, suddenly separated, and quickly ran away in two directions.
This sudden scene made the two figures rushing towards them stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the other party had cast some kind of illusion, and only one of them was the true form.
But the moment the two men's consciousness swept over them, they found that the auras of the two young men were exactly the same, and there was no trace of illusion at all.
This left the two of them stunned. They could only exchange glances quickly, and immediately separated, each chasing a figure.
And all this also fell into the eyes of others. Even the masked man in red robe who rushed towards Li Yan hesitated for a moment.
In his consciousness, he could not see any difference in the auras of the two young men. The degree of concentration of reality and reality was exactly the same.
"What a brilliant clone illusion!"
And just when he was in a daze, the old man who was chasing Li Yan had an accident. He failed to intercept him and was dodged by Li Yan.
The figure of the bald old man that Li Yan transformed into swayed and disappeared in an instant.
"Damn, they are all a bunch of stupid pigs!"
The masked man in red robe suddenly realized that he had only been dazed for a moment, but the two enemies he was trying to surround suddenly broke out and ran away.
He suddenly became angry and cursed those three people in his heart as stupid and stupid as pigs. If these three people were his subordinates, he would kill them with his own hands afterwards.
He didn't think about his own reasons at all. He had the same contempt just now, thinking that they were just two mid-stage Nascent Soul monks. He just turned around and everything would disappear.
At this moment, his plan to quickly kill the two little miscellaneous fish came to nothing.
In a rage, he stepped into the void, and his whole body instantly merged into the void of heaven and earth. The next moment, a red light appeared in the sky, already surpassing the old man who was following Li Yan. Li Yan, who was escaping, scanned the surroundings carefully with his consciousness. In his heart, he also became interested in Donglin Tingyue's clone illusion.
"With the strength of my spiritual consciousness, I can only see a few subtle clues. Among Yuanying monks of the same level, it is extremely difficult to distinguish. This technique is really magical..."
Li Yan's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he didn't pay much attention to the pursuit behind him. Instead, he glanced in the two directions where the two figures of Donglin and Tingyue were escaping, with a look of interest in his eyes.
His spiritual consciousness had already reached the level of a god-transformation monk, but the other party was only a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Li Yan was unable to tell the truth from the falsehood at the first time.
After he was startled, he scanned carefully again and found some clues, but he still couldn't confirm it too much.
In this world, there are as many cunning people as locusts. Maybe the little clue he discovered was the smoke left intentionally by the other party to confuse others.
This made Li Yan feel strange when he was not sure about the opponent's true identity. If Donglin Tingyue improved this magical power a little more, wouldn't it mean that the cultivator of the Transformation God would not be able to tell the truth from the fake?
These thoughts only flashed through Li Yan's mind quickly, but this was not the time to think about it carefully. He quickly put his consciousness behind him, where the fighting was already shaking, and Shangguan Tianque's furious voice could be heard.
.
"Liu Huaigu, it's you..."
Immediately, Shangguan Tianque's voice was interrupted by a stronger burst of magic. It was obvious that the other party did not want his voice to be heard.
At this moment, once the two sides started fighting, especially since Shangguan Tianque was surrounded by two late-stage great monks, they had to use all their strength in an instant.
When a great monk fights with all his strength, the two people on the opposite side also have to deal with it with all their strength.
Under this situation, their respective skills and magical powers could no longer be retained. Suddenly, the skills of both parties could not be concealed, and the identity of the other party was instantly identifiable.
"It turns out it's really Liu Huaigu! Who is the other person and the late-stage monk chasing behind me?"
Li Yan glanced with his consciousness and saw that Shangguan Tianque was shouting angrily at the skinny young man, but the skinny young man had a sneer on his face and did not respond at all.
Li Yan's mind raced and he thought quickly.
Just as the two sides were chasing each other, the masked man in red robes had surpassed the old man in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and quickly approached Li Yan. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had flown forward for more than a thousand miles.
This was before he actually used his speed. Otherwise, the two people behind him would not be able to catch up with him. Li Yan felt the aura behind him getting closer and closer, and sneered in his heart.
But he still maintains his current speed. He just doesn't want his actions to be seen by others at close range. If it is farther away, there is a battle over there, so naturally he will not pay attention to his side at all times.
Looking at the bald old man in front of him, although he was still running away with all his strength, the distance between him and himself was rapidly shortening.
There was a hint of ridicule in the eyes of the masked man in red robes. He arrived first and he was the last to attack. This old man was not weak in speed. He was already a bit embarrassed if he could let the opponent run so far.
"That's it!"
He shouted secretly in his heart, the magic power in his dantian surged violently, and circles of ripples appeared in the void under his feet. Then, his figure disappeared from the place in an instant.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a red figure appeared above Li Yan's head, and the eyes outside his mask were full of ferocity and chill.
He caught up with the opponent silently, and the red-robed masked man's body became even more cold. It was good that the opponent escaped here under his nose.
His body was in the air, as if he were a god dominating everything. He raised one hand and pressed down lightly. A zigzag-shaped lightning flashed out from his palm, and it reached the top of Li Yan's head in a flash.
And just when the lightning was about to reach the opponent's head, in mid-air
The masked red-robed guest suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart.
As for himself, he still didn't know the source of this chill. For a moment, he was frightened and felt deeply confused...
"Crack!"
With a loud noise, the bald old man below was struck by lightning. The body that was still running was split into two parts starting from the top of his head. The two parts of the body danced forward like puppets...
As for the masked red-robed man above, whose hands were still hanging in the air, his body also froze, but his eyes showed boundless fear.
Until then, he suddenly discovered that a little golden light appeared around his body. It was so inconspicuous under the scorching sun, as if he was just dazzled by the dazzling sunlight.
Then, the spiritual energy around him that was so lively and omnipresent just now seemed to have disappeared. This made the protective light shield on his body no longer able to rely on the power of the outside world. .?
?.??
There are usually two methods of condensing a monk's protective mask. It can be condensed from the pure mana in the body; it can also be condensed by the monk after destroying the spell, with the help of external spiritual energy. In this way, it will only consume a little of the mana used to destroy the spell.
.
Usually in more than 90% of cases, the second method is adopted, otherwise who would be willing to continuously consume their own mana.
In this way, no matter how strong their magic power is, they will not be able to withstand such consumption, leaving themselves in danger of weakness. Especially when fighting, they cherish their magic power as much as their lives.
As long as the monks can borrow certain laws, they will consume a small amount of mana to activate the magic formula and mobilize the power of heaven and earth to kill the enemy. They will rarely use pure mana.
This is also the reason why a monk's cultivation level has greatly improved after reaching Nascent Soul. Otherwise, no matter how huge the magic power in a monk's body is, it is impossible to destroy a continent. The magic power that his body can store is still limited.
As soon as the masked red-robed man felt that the surrounding aura had been lost, without any preparation, his protective light shield briefly stagnated.
He finally understood the reason for his fear, but before he could use his magic power to remedy it, he was struck by the almost assimilated golden light in the sun.
Some penetrated into the body in an instant, while others crisscrossed the surrounding area, pulling out thin golden threads that were almost invisible.
"What's this……"
When this idea first arose in him, he tried his best to muster all his magic power to retreat first, but his retreating figure also stopped abruptly.
His back hit the invisible bars, and he seemed to be trapped in a cage.
What frightened him even more was that the mana flowing in his body did not move like an arm and finger as he imagined. Instead, while it was still in the veins, it was cut off and blocked, as if it was sealed.
Then, the masked red-robed man saw the bald old man who had been cut into two pieces disappear, and another bald old man appeared in front of him. He turned around with boundless indifference and coldness in his eyes...
…
Hu Changqi is a casual cultivator who has been trapped in the middle stage of Nascent Soul for more than six hundred years and has been unable to break through to the later stage.
This time in the market, I unexpectedly met Liu Huaigu from "Qingyang Temple". The two parties had had several contacts, and even went to "Tianyao Grassland" with others at the same time. There was still some relationship between them.
friendship.
After Liu Huaigu chatted with him and reminisced about old times, he asked Hu Changqi if he could do him a favor and help kill his enemies. Of course, the reward would be huge.
After hearing this, Hu Changqi did not agree immediately. He and Liu Huaigu had a good relationship, but his ability to survive to this day certainly depends not only on luck, but also on being extremely cautious.
He began to ask Liu Huaigu carefully about some things, and Liu Huaigu told him that there were two people on the other side, a late-stage Nascent Soul monk and a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk.
There will be four people on his side. In addition to Hu Changqi, there are also two mid-stage Nascent Soul monks.
The enemy's name Liu Huaigu would first deal with the great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage by himself. After the three of them joined forces to quickly kill the enemy in the mid-stage Nascent Soul stage, the four of them would then work together to kill the great monk.
Under such circumstances, Liu Huaigu said that he was 60% sure to kill the two opponents directly without leaving any traces.
There is a 60% chance that the corpse will be destroyed instead of letting the opponent get injured and escape. This probability is already a great guarantee for Hu Changqi who is licking blood from the knife edge.
Everyone is quick-thinking. When Liu Huaigu saw that the other party hesitated, he quickly promised a reward that Hu Changqi could not refuse. Liu Huaigu knew what the other party, as a casual cultivator, needed...
After thinking about it, Hu Changqi finally agreed and said that if the actual situation during the ambush was not like this and the strength was as strong as Liu Huaigu said, then he would turn around and leave immediately.
Liu Huaigu immediately swore that everything would be fine, otherwise Hu Changqi would just leave on his own.
However, when he set out a few days ago, Liu Huaigu brought two more masked men in red robes, and their strength was terrifyingly high. Any one of them could kill him.
This made Hu Changqi and the other two people quite dissatisfied privately. If they still had the same purpose and the other party was just two people, then why did Liu Huaigu call the three of them?
Liu Huaigu also immediately saw what the three of them were thinking, and after pulling them aside, explained the reason.
The two masked men in red robes were acquaintances he met unexpectedly. Considering the cunning of the enemy, he invited them over together for the sake of extra insurance.
Liu Huaigu also repeatedly asked the three people to rest assured that the conditions promised before would not be less.
After the three of them thought about it again, they agreed again, but they made a new agreement with Liu Huaigu. Once they found that the place they were going was a dangerous place, the three of them would leave without hesitation.
Of course, there is also a great danger here. If Liu Huaigu, the three later great monks, have malicious intentions and have any bad thoughts towards the three of them, it will be extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, among these three people, Hu Changqi is the only casual cultivator, and the other two have bigger backgrounds than Qingyang Temple.
In addition, they had cooperated with Liu Huaigu before, so they had some understanding of his character, and knew that he would not dare to easily enmity with their sect.
With a ruthless heart, everyone understands the principle of finding wealth through risk. How can one obtain the generous conditions offered by Liu Huaigu without taking risks?
So, the three of them followed, but after secret discussions, the three formed a small team.
"Three enemies appeared here. Did Liu Huaigu guess that the number of enemies would change? Otherwise, by such a coincidence, he invited two more people to help..."
Hu Changqi, who was chasing after Li Yan, thought to himself that he was over-concerned at this time, and that Liu Huaigu's prudent approach was still the right thing to do.
Otherwise, in the case of four people versus three people, the final result is really hard to say, and we may lose some people on our side.
"It's not bad, it's just a quick run, but the old man in gray is not weak, and I don't have the profound cultivation of the masked man in red. If he kills him first, the benefits will be much less...
…”
Hu Changqi was not much slower than Li Yan. At this time, his consciousness had also scanned the scene ahead, and the masked man in red robe had already taken action against the old man in gray.
He sighed in his heart, he shouldn't think about the various treasures on the bald old man's body.
While he was thinking, he suddenly found that the magic power in his body was stagnant. Before he could understand what had happened, his whole body started to "float" in an instant.
"How is this going?"
Hu Changqi had a look of astonishment on his face. As he was "floating", he saw a headless corpse below, still flying forward like a brilliant rainbow in his neck.
And that outfit and running body are so familiar to me!
It seems that the clothes are exactly the same as mine. It is a picture of you flying in the sky and me chasing on the ground...
