Shadow Ghost’s warning is based on Yu Ci’s current state.
In a Buxu-level battle, whether it is a talisman or a sword, Fa can turn the situation around. The reason for this is nothing more than the word "timing". But stripping away luck and going back to "responding to the opportunity" is easy to say, but how can it be easy to actually do it?
Analyzing and judging three "front-line opportunities" at the same time will consume at least ten times the mental energy of Yu Ci. Especially in this process of calculating the big from the small and the strong from the weak, there must be no mistakes and pressure. It is also far beyond the limit. It was under this situation that Yu Ci had unknowingly activated his natal magical power of "analysis" and exchanged the loss of innate vitality for an improvement in his mental state.
For Yu Ci, the less similar losses, the better, and Shadow Ghost’s reminder was considered timely. However, this reminder happened to coincide with the roar of the nine-foot-old man. The latter was so emotional that Shadow Ghost was stunned:
"This guy also recognizes the Taichu Invisible Sword? Hmm, the color of his coat..."
The shadow ghost seemed to have recalled some information, but before it could say anything else, Yu Ci had already backed away quickly when he heard the nine-foot-tall man roaring like his dead father.
The nine-foot tall man suddenly invested his energy in this area. Yu Ci could not see the specific changes yet, but he was able to make the most correct choice by sensing the "thin line of opportunity". As he retreated, Tie Lan also had to retreat, but at this time, the battle situation had changed.
When two big demons join forces to attack, the judgment of the situation is made by the nine-foot man. Its tendency is one of the most critical conditions that affects the situation of the battle. Previously, it was focused on clearing out the temporary combination in front of it, and the fierce battle was only between these four people. But at this moment, the purpose suddenly changed, and the tacit understanding between it and Gu Diao was enough to support similar changes. Tie Lan and Lu Qing Just a little bit worse.
In fact, the best choice for the combination of Tie and Lu at this time is for Lu Qing to change his position, first help Tie Lan block the entanglement of the Gu Eagle, and then let the two guys with the strongest cultivation level fight against each other. The situation will be different. It is very likely to return to a stalemate. But the tacit understanding between the two was not quite there after all. Tie Lan wanted to retreat and was entangled, but Lu Qing wanted to intercept him, but on the outside, he was forced by the blazing demonic energy of the nine-foot-tall man and almost trapped himself.
The nine-foot tall man roared again, with golden light in his pupils like swords, locking Yu Ci's position from a distance. The fully transformed beast body suddenly exploded, breaking through the soil in front of him, and rushed forward. Lu Qing intercepted it a second time, but was completely unable to keep up with its speed. He could only pursue it diagonally from behind, but the distance grew wider and wider.
Things are taking a turn for the worst.
Yu Ci watched the situation collapse, and the nine-foot-tall man rushed towards him at a speed far exceeding his. His heart was surprisingly unwavering. In fact, his mind has still not escaped from the state of full analysis, and it will never escape!
In an instant, he shot out several more spiritual talismans, one pointed at Lu Qing, one pointed at the battlefield between Tie Lan and Gu Diao, another one landed in the soil between him and the nine-foot tall man, and the last one pointed at Act on him.
The four spiritual talismans were transformed and exploded in sequence. For Lu Qing, it was just an accelerating spell, which was better than nothing; as for the Iron Barrier and the Gu Diao, what fell was the "Water Strike Three Thousand Miles" that Yu Ci demonstrated for Zhai Queer some time ago, and the target it acted on Not on the two warring parties, but pointed directly at the flowing and swirling magma area not far away.
"Water Strikes Three Thousand Miles" can act on all fluids, including magma. The magic talisman immediately activated ten silk-winding powers, rolled up the magma, and turned into ten streams of fire, wrapping around the target from all sides. It is Gu Diao.
This kind of nine-aperture talisman, for Buxu monks, is only mediocre in power, but what it rolls up is something that is incompatible with the Gu carving. When the water vapor evaporates, the Gu carving's offensive immediately stalls, and it gets stuck. At this moment, Tie Lan concentrated his sword and rushed in.
The sword light was cold, and it inexplicably affected the energy, like hot water and snow, it broke through the Gu carving's protective body in a blink of an eye, and penetrated directly into the vital point. Through Shadow Ghost, Yu Ci and Tie Lan were half-hearted, so Tie Lan had foreseen it and seized the opportunity to make a deadly move.
In the face of the sword light, Gu Diao felt it most clearly, and he immediately gasped: "Lunjianxuan... the demon-slaying sword!"
During the previous fight, it had some doubts about Tie Lan's sword power, but now that it saw it, it immediately came to a conclusion. It has never fought against the monks of Lunjianxuan, but the inheritance of the bloodline of the Great Demon has this advantage. Some particularly important memories will always be passed down from its ancestors, improving its experience and knowledge.
This swordsmanship, which is used to embarrass all the demons in the world, was developed by Lunjianxuan. It was very popular for a while, but it is rarely seen now, and it never tastes so pure!
Being defeated twice in a row, the creature's instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil took over. The Gu Eagle fought relentlessly and was suffocated. Tie Lan seized the opportunity, united his body and sword, broke through the blockade, and headed towards Jiuzhi. The big man was in hot pursuit.
But at this time, the distance between Tie Lan and the nine-foot-long man had widened to more than eight miles, while the distance between the latter and Yu Ci was only two miles, which was already enough to launch an offensive. The nearest Lu Qing was a mile behind, and he couldn't catch up no matter what.
At this time, the third spiritual talisman exploded. This time it was the Dao Zhi Ground Steel Talisman. It was originally a standard talisman for dealing with earth escape. When used here, it played the role of slowing down the opponent's speed, which also caused a headache. Treat the head, treat the foot pain.
The nine-foot tall man let out a "ha" sound. Before he could reach his body, the fiery demonic energy surged forward. When he rolled forward, the earth and rocks that were stronger than fine steel became crispy. The majestic beast body then directly hit it. The soil immediately tore apart, unable to stop it for a moment.
However, after the nine-foot-tall man broke through the fine steel soil layer, the originally locked sensors were in chaos. Scanning with golden beast eyes, he saw Yu Ci's figure in front of him splitting up, turning into six or seven figures in an instant, scattering in all directions.
It’s this trick again! Moreover, it was even more subtle than when it was used on the ghost cultivator. With six or seven figures and six or seven senses, it was impossible to distinguish true from false for a while, and the speed was extremely fast, which immediately dazzled him.
"Are the descendants of Haodian such timid young men?"
The nine-foot man was furious, and driven by this, he had another strange phenomenon. The wild hair on his head suddenly grew longer, and the roots were spiked, like a hedgehog. It was draped behind his shoulders, and his color also changed. There was a slight silver light, and the next moment, the demonic energy spurted out, almost without reservation. A rapidly spreading shock wave swept out, covering a three-mile radius in an instant, and was still expanding. Wherever the shock wave went, the soil rippled, and anything with a little hardness was crushed into pieces.
Although Taiyi Xingshu's clones were exquisite, they were quickly exposed in the face of this indiscriminate attack. Four clones that did not escape the scope of the shock wave were immediately shattered, and another one was also affected. Suddenly Light and dark, it is definitely not where the true body is.
There were two more. The nine-foot man roared again, and the shock wave gathered together, like a sharply vibrating gun, sweeping past. The targeted power was even more terrifying. At the moment, the ground cracked and he had already escaped. The figure five miles away was also affected, and there was a muffled groan.
"Caught!"
The five-mile distance was actually within the attack range of Monk Buxu, but Yu Ci acted too cunningly in front of him. The nine-foot-tall man was afraid that he would do something evil again, so he did not hesitate to expend energy to launch his own escape method. He took a big step forward, followed him in three or five steps, and without saying a word, he punched out.
Yu Ci turned around and came face to face with it. The nine-foot tall man smiled ferociously, but then he saw that the face opposite him became blurry. It's not that there's something wrong with its eyesight, it's that the "little bug" was able to create another phantom clone at this critical moment, overlapping the front and back and about to separate.
It laughed loudly: "The old trick is repeated, and there is a bird's use!"
The power of the fist may not be as subtle as that of Lu Qing, but its power is far greater. As soon as the fist came out, the earth and rocks in the area half a mile ahead boiled, and the newly formed clone turned into broken bubbles in an instant. As for Yu Ci, he raised a long sword, and the sword energy buzzed.
"Humph!"
Having seen Tie Lan's outstanding swordsmanship first, and having his own opinions in mind, the nine-foot-old man was not unprepared for Yu Ci's sword skills. However, the deep inheritance mark in his heart is not easy to reduce. Almost out of instinct, its fists shrink slightly, leaving two points of strength.
The fist and sword energy came into contact, and a twisted and strange sound echoed in the ground. Yu Ci flew backwards with a roar, directly penetrated the stratum behind that was on the verge of collapse, and was directly blasted a mile away by the force of the fist.
The nine-foot-old man was not happy about the punch. He knew very well that most of the force of the punch was actually removed by the delicate sword circle of the little insect, leaving only a little bit of energy left. , and because it flew backwards, it was all in vain. Now the little bug is probably just a flesh wound at most.
Of course, for a junior cultivator of Dan Huan, this hand definitely penetrated the limit. Didn’t you see that the blood on the man’s face was so rich that it was about to burn?
It’s better not to leave those two forces behind...
A Buxu strong man, full of murderous intent, was unable to kill a junior who was at the beginning of Huandan with one punch. The nine-foot tall man's face was not good-looking either. It frowned and wanted to move forward. It was confident that the little bug would not be able to block the second punch.
But at this moment, warning signs flashed in my heart, a crisis was coming!
With its cultivation and intuition, it can only make a judgment in a flash. However, this time, it was stunned.
Where? A sharp sense of crisis forced it to turn back, and what it saw was a long, half-disappeared white shadow.
That’s Lu Qing! The nine-foot tall man still remembers that it was such a strange magic weapon that looked like a long silk and a sharp blade, which could severely damage the Gu carving that had not yet shown its original shape in one move. Lu Qing, who used this move, inexplicably experienced changes in his energy. The originally sincere fist intention became strange and ethereal, making it difficult to capture it.
It is indeed a threat, but there is also...
When I was confused, a long groan and a high-pitched sound mixed together exploded right next to my ears. The soul was shaken by it, and at the same time, the sharp energy that froze the blood it inherited appeared without warning. At the back of the head, it suddenly entered.
The crisis is just around the corner...how could this happen?
