Chapter 110 Minghuang Sword【5K】
Fortunately, the battlefield was too chaotic at that time, and there were many people like them who took advantage of the situation, so no one noticed their abnormality for a while.
"The evildoer must die!"
Just when Ye Linyuan was paddling on the edge, the three elders on the battlefield showed their extraordinary power. They killed several powerful monsters that had reached the peak of Qi Refining, and forced their way into a breakthrough. Then they together besieged the Bright Moon Shell.
Although the Moonlight Shell was a rare monster, its fighting ability was not outstanding, and it was obviously unable to withstand the siege of three people.
Just as he was about to be defeated, a murderous aura suddenly came from the distant ocean and attacked the great elder.
The second elder reflexively raised a small black shield to help him block the attack, but he was hit by the shield and flew backwards, bleeding.
"puff--"
After flying hundreds of feet, the second elder suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then looked up at the sky with great fear.
It was not until this moment that he discovered that in the sky not far away, a black anaconda as big as ten feet was hovering in mid-air, with a pair of vertical pupils looking coldly at the second elder.
"Black-scaled demon!"
The second elder almost spoke, and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
There are three great foundation-building monsters in the Heikui Islands, namely the Heikui giant python, the black-scaled monster snake, and the red-scaled blood python.
Among the three great monsters, the Black Scale Monster Snake and the Red Scale Blood Python are only in the initial stage of foundation building, while the Black Kui Giant Python is a second-order mutant monster with the blood of a dragon, and its cultivation has reached the sixth level of foundation building.
At this moment, the giant black-scaled python looked at him, and immediately made the second elder feel his scalp tingling.
"Your reaction is not slow."
The black-scaled demon snake spoke in human language, and said with a cold look, "If I eat you, I think it will be a great tonic for me."
"Hei Lin, you are bullying a junior Qi practitioner with your Foundation Establishment status. Are you going too far?"
At the same time, three sword lights flew from the sky.
When everyone looked up, they found three figures walking towards them one after another. They were actually the Qinghe Immortal Sect's ancestors Yu and Qian, and the sect's leader, Taoist Xuanyu.
At this time, Taoist Xuanyu shook off the dust, then looked into the depths of the sea and said, "Hei Kui, Chi Lin, you don't have to hide anymore, just come out directly."
"Crash!"
As Taoist Xuanyu finished speaking, the sound of flowing water was heard from the sea in the distance.
Ye Linyuan looked up and immediately found two huge monsters rising from the sea, revealing their extremely huge bodies.
On the left was a giant red python, most of its body buried in the sea, and the exposed half was no less than twenty feet long.
The black python on the other side was even bigger. Its head was more than ten feet wide, with a single black horn growing on it. The length of its body that was exposed above the sea was probably no less than thirty feet.
"hiss--"
The monks present gasped in shock, and then they realized that the ten-foot-long black-scaled demon snake was a snake, but these two were called pythons.
Ye Linyuan was also observing several foundation-building monsters, and a trace of solemnity arose in his heart.
For Ye Linyuan, these foundation-building monsters are not to be provoked, and the Hei Kui giant python even has the blood of the Black Dragon Monster King. Its true strength is probably close to the late stage of foundation-building.
Now that the three great foundation-building demons have gathered together, it is obvious that they are here for the Bright Moon Shell.
At this time, the Black Kui Python shook its head, then looked at Taoist Xuan Yu sarcastically and said, "Young man, where is your Uncle Qinghe?"
"Let him out, you are not qualified."
"build--"
At the same time, a beam of green light came down from the sky, cutting through the clouds and flying towards the Bright Moon Shell in the center of the island.
But at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly came out from the horn on the head of the Black Kui Python. In an instant, a black lightning streaked across the sky and collided violently with the green light.
As a huge shock wave swept across the sky and earth, a green crane was shaken out from it.
At the same time, the Black Kui Python's eyes revealed a sneer, and he looked at the green crane and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiuqu, do you really think that I am defenseless against your Green Crane Transformation into Rainbow Technique?"
When the Nine-bend Spirit Crane heard this, a hint of coldness suddenly emanated from its eyes.
But it looked at the Bright Moon Shell and said with a cold gaze: "This Bright Moon Shell is something that I must obtain. If you dare to stop me, you and I will be enemies to the death."
"Is it?"
The Black Kui Python sneered immediately, then looked at Jiuqu Linghe and said, "Daoist Jiuqu, you are about to die, and you still dare to threaten me."
"not good."
In an instant, the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane suddenly felt something was wrong.
It flapped its wings violently and turned into a green rainbow, flying away into the distant void.
"Yin——"
At the same time, a dragon roar was heard from the sky.
But then an illusory yellow dragon broke through the air and collided fiercely with the Nine-bend Spirit Crane. In a flash, they exchanged dozens of moves.
Finally, with the Nine-bend Spirit Crane roaring and flapping its wings, the illusory yellow dragon was knocked away and turned into a bright fairy sword that fell into the hands of a man in green.
"Ming Huang Jian Zi."
The moment he saw this person, Taoist Xuanyu was immediately filled with shock.
Jiuqu Linghe was also a little bit unbelievable, and said with a look of great fear: "Minghuang Jianzi, why are you stopping me?"
When Ye Linyuan saw this scene, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly. He had also heard of this Minghuang Swordsman.
In this Tianxing Sea, the only overlord is the Jindan-level force 'Tianxing Sword Sect'. In addition to the two Jindan sword masters, the most famous people in the Tianxing Sword Sect are not the elders but the seven great sword masters.
These seven great swordsmen may not all be people with high cultivation, but they are all the golden elixir seeds of the Tianxing Sword Sect, because each of them has cultivated a superior Taoist foundation.
Minghuang Jianzi is one of the seven great sword masters. His cultivation has reached the perfection level of the middle stage of foundation building, and his combat power is not much inferior to that of the late stage of foundation building.
But why would this Minghuang Swordsman want to deal with the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane?
Ye Linyuan didn't quite understand, but he soon understood.
But the Minghuang swordsman was seen standing in the air with a sword in his hand, with illusory yellow dragons circling and dancing around him, giving off an awe-inspiring aura that shook the world.
"Huanglong Daoji."
"You must kill me and achieve the legendary path of the Green Bird and Yellow Dragon."
The Nine-bend Spirit Crane was somewhat desperate and roared in great unwillingness.
Minghuang Jianzi nodded and said calmly: "The Green Bird and Yellow Dragon is one of the most superior foundations of the Great Dao recorded in the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng."
"Now, I have mastered the way of the Yellow Dragon. All I need is your Green Bird Soul to complete it."
When Jiuqu Linghe heard this, he immediately understood the whole story.
He finally understood why the Moonlight Clam suddenly transformed and became a rare spiritual clam, and also understood why the Moonlight Clam could escape from his pursuit many times.
It turns out that behind all this is Minghuang Jianzi's trick.
At this moment, he looked at Minghuang Jianzi and couldn't help but said unwillingly: "Everything is within your calculations, but why didn't Tianxing Sword Sect just take me?"
"After all, your lineage has paid taxes on time every year and has not acted presumptuously for more than a hundred years. If the sect arrests you for no reason, how can our Tianxing Sword Sect win the support of the people?"
Minghuang Jianzi spoke calmly, and then said calmly: "The dispute between you and me has nothing to do with the Tianxing Sword Sect, and I will not borrow the power of the sect."
"I brought you out today to end things with you."
"There is no point in talking any more, just look at the sword!"
Having said this, Minghuang Jianzi stretched out his hand and made a move.
In an instant, the Minghuang sword in his hand once again turned into a dazzling yellow dragon that soared into the sky, slashing towards the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane with boundless sword intent.
Faced with such danger, Jiuqu Linghe was very calm. He decisively gave up the Bright Moon Shell and turned into a green rainbow to escape into the distance.
Minghuang Jianzi did not stop either, but turned into Minghuang Sword Light and flew into the air, following closely behind to kill him.
"Don't let it get away!"
The great demon Hei Kui obviously did not want to let this powerful enemy go, and immediately called on his demons to chase after the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane.
Taoist Xuanyu's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Stop them."
In an instant, Ancestor Yu and Ancestor Qian took action and chased after the Black Kui Demon and other foundation-building monsters.
All of a sudden, the three foundation-building masters of the Qinghe Immortal Sect and the three foundation-building monsters of the monster race all chased in the direction where the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane left. Several foundation-building monks suddenly appeared and left, and the twists and turns made everyone unable to react.
It was not until this moment that the Bright Moon Shell suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately flew away into the distance.
But at this moment, an illusory giant whale broke through the air, swallowed a demon beast in the late Qi Refining stage into its stomach in one gulp, and then hit the Bright Moon Shell with one blow, causing it to fly out with blood.
With one move, he killed a demon beast in the late Qi Refining stage and seriously injured Jiaoyuebei. This scene really surprised everyone present.
This kind of method is definitely not an ordinary Qi training perfection, it is even more powerful than the rare magic weapon of the great elder.
Thinking of this, they all looked at the person who made the move with shock.
But Su Shaoyu was seen riding a giant sea whale, breaking through the air and coming right in front of the Bright Moon Shell.
"Shortcut spell."
Upon seeing this, all the monks present were horrified.
In an instant, even the demon beasts of the demon race that had reached perfect Qi training realized that their situation was hopeless and they all fled into the distance.
"A swarm of ants."
Su Shaoyu sneered and waved his long sleeves, then looked at the Bright Moon Shell and said indifferently: "Come back with me, this is your fate."
"Om-"
The Moonlit Shell unwillingly flew into the air and tried to leave, but Su Shaoyu waved his hand casually, and a large net flew out, covering the Moonlit Shell tightly.
"This rare and precious Soul Binding Net is specially prepared for you."
"..."
At the same time, at the bottom of the vast ocean, a skinny old man in a black robe was refining a set of blood flags.
He continued to absorb the blood essence created by the seawater, but suddenly he sensed something and frowned slightly: "Is the fight over so soon?"
"We have enough blood essence from the monsters, but we are still short of three thousand soul essences from the monks. These monster beasts are really useless."
The old man muttered to himself, then frowned and said, "The Blood Soul Banner needs to be successfully refined once. Once the cultivator's spirit is missing, all the previous efforts will be wasted. This kind of battle only happens once every sixty years. If you miss it, you will have to wait another sixty years."
"Forget it. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. For the sake of my Blood Soul Banner, I have no choice but to provoke you to fight again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist took out a rare flower from his sleeve and threw it onto the battlefield.
"..."
At the same time, after catching the Bright Moon Shell, Su Shaoyu's eyes showed a hint of joy. He looked into the distance and said, "Since we have caught the Bright Moon Shell, we should leave without delay and go back immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but at this moment, a fragrance suddenly wafted over the island.
The many Qi-cultivating masters present looked up and saw a lavender flower blooming beside the spiritual eye at the core of the island.
"Enlightenment Flower."
In an instant, all the monks present were shocked.
Especially those old monks who had achieved perfection in Qi training, each of them revealed an extremely greedy look.
The Enlightenment Flower is the first of the three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Its value is even more precious than the Condensing Fruit and Xuanyuan combined.
Such a treasure can be exchanged for at least one foundation-building pill in Tianxing Fairy City. For a cultivator who has completed Qi training, it is a treasure that is hard to come by in a lifetime.
The moment they saw this enlightenment flower, not to mention the cultivators from small families and independent cultivators, even the three elders of the Qinghe Immortal Sect began to breathe rapidly.
After a brief look at each other, he rushed forward like a madman to snatch the Enlightenment Flower. In an instant, the entire battlefield was in complete chaos.
Su Shaoyu originally wanted to leave, but it was difficult to extricate himself at this time. Many independent cultivators and family cultivators present had gone crazy fighting for the Enlightenment Flower, and even a large number of cultivators in the late Qi training stage dared to come and snatch it.
If he didn't care, this enlightenment flower would probably end up in the hands of these peasants, which was something Su Shaoyu could not tolerate.
"Who dares to snatch the enlightenment flower?"
Su Shaoyu spoke with a cold face, and then reached out to grab the Wudao Flower.
Unfortunately, no one present gave him face. Faced with the opportunity to achieve enlightenment, he, who had mastered the shortcut magic and had perfected Qi training, was not able to suppress everyone.
At first, it was only the cultivators in the Perfect Qi Refining Stage and the late Qi Refining Stage who were competing for it, but before they knew it, a bloody murderous aura suddenly spread between heaven and earth.
This evil spirit makes many people lose their minds unknowingly.
In the agitation, greed blinded their eyes. A large number of monks were involved in the scramble and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.
At the most intense moment of the melee, some of the demons who had left had completed their Qi training and were attracted back by the fragrance of the Enlightenment Flower.
This made the battle even more brutal and chaotic. No one knew who their opponent would be next, but whoever got the Enlightenment Flower would be the target of concentrated fire.
Before they knew it, a large number of cultivators had died, including some powerful cultivators who had achieved perfection in Qi training.
Meanwhile, Ye Linyuan, who was on the periphery, had already driven the treasure ship dozens of miles away. He looked at the hazy blood-red murderous aura calmly, his expression becoming more and more solemn: "It seems that someone is really planning something in secret."
Old Man Ye also took a deep breath, and said with a hint of fear: "After this battle, the number of cultivators in Qinghe Islands has been greatly reduced. I'm afraid it will take a decade for them to recover."
The battle was still going on. After more than half a day, Su Shaoyu finally seized the Enlightenment Flower with his powerful strength, and then rushed out with the Qinghe Immortal Sect's treasure ship.
It was not until this time that everyone gradually woke up.
They discovered that without them noticing, there were only four or five thousand monks left alive.
Almost all the independent cultivators on the island died in the infighting. Those who survived were basically the ones who, like Ye Linyuan, sensed something was wrong and left the island early.
This battle resulted in the mass deaths of cultivators in the late stage of Qi training and above, and at least a dozen cultivators who had reached the peak of Qi training were buried here forever.
Six independent cultivators including Chixin Sanren and Mo Daoren died, five family clan leaders who had completed Qi training died in battle, and eleven elders and veterans of Qinghe Xianmen also died here.
"Three of the ten great elders died, and nearly 30% of the sect's veterans were killed in this battle."
"Of the five hundred cultivators of my Qinghe Immortal Sect, only seventy-three followed me to fight."
Su Shaoyu woke up and recalled the terrible outcome of the battle. He couldn't help feeling a chill on his back.
Unfortunately, he was in no mood to settle the score at this time. Thinking of the plan that the headmaster had told him, Su Shaoyu looked at everyone and said, "This enlightenment flower was a trick that the evil thieves used to plot against us."
"You have not participated in the struggle. When you return, my Qinghe Immortal Sect will definitely reward you. Now you continue to listen to my orders and follow me to fight your way out of the Heikui Islands."
Although the monks present had their own thoughts, at this time they could only follow Su Shaoyu and fight out.
After all, more than 70% of the Qinghe Islands' Qi-refining accomplished independent cultivators and family cultivators had been killed or wounded in this battle, and they themselves were leaderless.
Ye Linyuan didn't say much. He asked his clansmen to drive the treasure ship and follow the fleet.
Before leaving, he looked at the circular island and frowned slightly: "The blood of the demon race, the soul of the cultivator, it seems that the blood soul flag is being sacrificed."
"If it's this thing, it should take seven days to succeed."
"I hope he won't catch up with me during this time, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan looked at Su Shaoyu, and then remembered the various arrangements he had seen, and nodded slightly.
"Xuanling Island doesn't seem to be the work of this branch of the Tianxing Sword Sect. It seems that the Five Elements Return to Origin terrain was created by someone else."
"If my guess is correct, the person who is secretly planning this is probably not just Minghuang Jianzi, right?"
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then collected his thoughts.
He came to the cabin and used divination and astrology to calculate again, but the hexagrams he got kept changing.
"Good or bad luck is unpredictable and ever-changing."
It was not until a long time later that Ye Linyuan finished the divination and said thoughtfully.
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. He wanted to leave this confusing chess game, but after thinking of the Bright Moon Shell, he made his decision.
“This is a crisis, but it also contains an opportunity for enlightenment.”
"If we miss this opportunity, we may not be able to find a second Bright Moon Shell in the Tianxing Sea."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and finally slowly opened his eyes.
He made up his mind and began to analyze the current situation based on limited intelligence.
"The root cause of this catastrophe is the Bright Moon Shell."
"That Minghuang Sword Master secretly cultivated the Bright Moon Shell in order to plan the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane, and then released the Bright Moon Shell silently. This shows that this person must have a chess piece of high status in the Blue Crane Immortal Sect."
