"Go to hell, just keep it for yourself. I'm a person who pays great attention to my image. I'm not like you. I can't do anything that would sell out my personality and image." Lin Aoxue cursed with a smile.
"What's the good of being so serious all the time? It's boring. Anyway, I think this clothes will be useful in the future, haha." Ye Liuyun smiled and said.
Lin Aoxue did not continue to argue with Ye Liuyun about this issue, but instead talked to Ye Liuyun about leaving Silent City.
The two of them planned that after leaving Silent City, they would first visit several mining bases of their Yunxia Sect in Zhuixian Ridge to familiarize themselves with the sect's industries, and then do whatever they wanted. To be honest, neither Lin Aoxue nor Ye Liuyun liked staying in the lifeless black soil area of Zhuixian Ridge.
It's so depressing here.
The two decided that they would not return to Silent City for the next period of time. They would first take a look at the area of Falling Immortal Ridge and then return to the inner area.
After resting for a day, the two bought a lot of things in the city the next day, all kinds of stuff. After buying, they left Silent City and went to the Yunxia Sect's mining base in the south of Silent City.
Chapter 210: Halfway Kill (Edited)
Silent City, south gate exit.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue walked out with the crowd.
"Ah! I have to finally leave this little place. It has been so boring during this period of time." Lin Aoxue sighed towards the sky.
Her interests and hobbies are almost opposite to Ye Liuyun's. If Ye Liuyun hadn't been around, she wouldn't have been able to stay for so long. She is the kind of active person.
"Well, we have indeed stayed in the city for too long. Let's go and set off for the first mining area." Ye Liuyun gestured.
Lin Aoxue also nodded, then summoned a flying sword and carried Ye Liuyun towards the mining area.
But not long after it took off, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
"Eh? It's raining? Why do I feel like my luck is a bit bad?" Ye Liuyun glanced at the sky, then casually took out an umbrella-shaped magic weapon.
After the magic weapon was unfolded, it automatically floated above the heads of the two people. This thing is a relatively common special magic weapon. It has no combat ability and its function is only to block the rain.
To be honest, if the cultivation of immortals can be popularized in the secular world in the future, then these magical tools of the immortal way can actually be regarded as technology.
As Ye Liuyun came into contact with the art of refining weapons, she discovered that magic weapons were not completely supernatural things.
After activating the magic weapon, the umbrella will be linked to the power of the user. It is very convenient and can be used by anyone in Lingxi Realm. There is no threshold.
"It seems that I still have foresight. Aoxue, what did you do if it rained when you went out before? Did you just get wet in the rain?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
"Nonsense, you don't think that we monks carry umbrellas when we go out like ordinary people? Monks won't get sick from the rain, so there's no need to do so. Of course, it's definitely uncomfortable to be caught in the rain." Lin Aoxue replied.
Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly. She was just saying it casually. The journey was so boring, so she wanted to find something to talk about.
The two chatted as they flew, and they were already very far away from the Silent City.
However, just as they were about to climb a mountain, something unexpected happened.
It might be that the two of them did not check the almanac before going out today, and were attacked by other monks as soon as they went out.
Somewhere on the mountain, a net filled with golden light suddenly came towards the two of them.
"Eh? Someone is attacking us by surprise." Lin Aoxue was stunned.
Ye Liuyun also quickly looked down.
All this happened very suddenly, but fortunately Lin Aoxue reacted quickly. She backhanded and a powerful spiritual energy rushed over, directly opening the magic net.
The magic weapon was cracked, and the people hiding below were also a little surprised, but their attacks did not end there.
Five figures flew up from somewhere in the mountains, and took advantage of the moment when Lin Aoxue was stagnant to surround her and Ye Liuyun.
"Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"Small Five Elements Formation: Five Elements Seal."
Five energies of different colors diffused out from the bodies of the five people, and finally formed a khaki energy shield that covered Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
This is a battle formation, and it's quite skillful. It seems that this group of people is not doing this for the first time.
The five people maintained the formation and forced Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue down from the air. The two of them were like being trapped in a closed space and had to go down.
The two were quickly forced to the ground, where there were three other people, two young and one old.
They were obviously not monks from a sect. The leader was a skinny old man about sixty years old, a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Pattern Realm, or rather, a Half-Step Dao Palace cultivator. His aura was stronger than that of a regular cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Pattern Realm.
"Who are you and why did you attack us?" Lin Aoxue asked coldly after landing.
She and Ye Liuyun did not seem particularly scared, it was just too sudden. It was really unlucky to be ambushed while flying.
You know, they had only been away from the Silent City for less than half an hour.
"Hmph! Disciples of the Yunxia Sect? That's really an unexpected gain. All of you Yunxia Sect members deserve to die. It's your bad luck to fall into my hands. Go ahead and kill them both." The leading old man snorted coldly after seeing Lin Aoxue, and ordered the five cultivators who were maintaining the formation to kill Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
There is no need to look, it must be a group of independent cultivators who specialize in attacking lone cultivators and robbing their property.
Such groups of monks are all too common in the Liuyang Mountains. Not to mention, the Wanbao Tower auction had only ended for less than a day, so there must be many groups lurking in the surroundings.
It is not unreasonable for Yun Ming to ask them to leave later.
But what is strange is that these people knew that Lin Aoxue was a disciple of the Yunxia Sect, but still dared to attack her. This is intriguing. Judging from their tone, it seems that they have a grudge against the Yunxia Sect.
However, these people are destined to choose the wrong target.
The five people who were maintaining the formation suddenly changed the formation and moved the center of the formation to the cultivator who was practicing fire-attributed techniques.
"Five Elements Conversion·Cremation." As the young man changed his hand seals, a large amount of flames instantly filled the formation, engulfing Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue in the energy shield in one breath.
These people were really ruthless in their actions, without any hesitation.
Several people looked at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue being drowned with cold expressions on their faces, because in their opinion they had definitely succeeded.
Unless one is a cultivator at the Dao Palace realm, even a cultivator at the peak of the Lingwen realm cannot break their formation.
So they felt it was safe, and Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were bound to die.
It can be seen from the methods used by this group of people that they are definitely not evil, but to be honest, a group of independent cultivators who do this kind of thing of blocking and killing lone cultivators is no different from evil.
"That's all?"
But just as they showed happy expressions, Lin Aoxue's disdainful voice came from the sea of fire.
A green light emanated from her body, which protected her and Ye Liuyun like a storm, and the flames could not hurt them at all.
This scene made everyone's expression freeze. They were really surprised that it was so easy to resist their Five Elements Formation.
"My luck was a bit bad. It started raining as soon as I went out, and I was ambushed before I had even walked for half an hour. Aoxue, don't kill them. There were eight of them in total, just enough for me to test the medicine." Ye Liuyun instructed.
"Don't worry." Lin Aoxue nodded.
"So strong and tough. Change the formation." The young man who was maintaining the fire formation felt that his power was completely pushed away, and he knew that he could not do anything to the opponent.
As soon as these words were spoken, another female cultivator who was practicing water-attributed techniques also began to act.
"The fusion of the five elements: water and fire are merciless."
The woman released a large amount of water power into the formation. After the water and fire merged, an extremely hot water mist was produced. The two forces attacked Lin Aoxue.
This power is much stronger than a single fire formation, but unfortunately, it is still useless. It is also the first time that Lin Aoxue encounters an enemy who uses a formation against her.
Ye Liuyun was also observing this formation. She seemed to have seen this kind of formation in the formation method she bought.
"Oh, this is the Small Five Elements Formation. It's quite interesting. Aoxue, don't break the formation yet. Let me observe it." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
If Lin Aoxue wanted to break the formation, it would be easy, but she also wanted to see if this formation could threaten her. Plus, Ye Liuyun also wanted to observe the formation, so she decided to take it slow.
"Hey! Is this all you can do? Is there anyone stronger?" Lin Aoxue was still using one hand to resist the power of water and fire. She currently had at most 30% of her normal strength.
"You? You dare to look down on us? Change again." The old man who was directing the battle outside the formation immediately became angry.
As soon as he finished speaking, another female cultivator with wood attribute also joined in the formation's power output.
"Water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, the five elements give birth to each other and a raging fire burns everywhere."
The female monk using the water attribute injected her own power into the power of the monk with the wood attribute next to her, and then the monk with the wood attribute injected her power into the power of the monk with the fire attribute.
The next moment, the power of fire in the formation increased nearly three times in an instant, and this force began to squeeze Lin Aoxue's wind power.
"Oh? There is something fishy about this. Such power is enough to kill a regular peak Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator." Lin Aoxue felt her power being squeezed and was a little surprised.
"Borrowing the principle of the five elements' mutual generation, we can enhance the power of fire magic. It seems that this is not the first time these people have used this method to attack other cultivators." Ye Liuyun stood behind Lin Aoxue and looked through the introduction and principles of the small five elements formation.
The Small Five Elements Formation is not a rare formation, it is just a human-level formation. However, the formation cannot be judged by its level, but by the realm of the user and the level of the materials that maintain its power.
The five Spirit Sea Realm cultivators maintaining the formation are enough to fight against the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm.
"This? How is it possible? I've used the triple formation, but I still can't defeat this woman? Did I meet a tough opponent?" The old man had an ominous premonition.
However, the power of this small five elements formation is not limited to this.
In fact, a formation with four attributes has been used so far, and the means to block Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's retreat is the power of the earth formation.
"Gold Element." The old man could only let the cultivators who used gold-attributed skills take action.
"Fire creates earth, earth creates metal, and the five elements combine to destroy." The five people attacked at the same time, and the power of the formation was exerted to the extreme.
First, the ground under Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's feet suddenly cracked, and the two fell directly down, followed by a solution like magma pouring down from above.
The power is so great that Lin Aoxue can't just sit there and wait for death.
"Hmph! Wind Spirit Sun Slash."
Lin Aoxue's sword flew out from the storage ring, followed by a green light. A sword light swung in all directions, and the green light instantly defeated the power of the small five elements formation.
After Lin Aoxue defeated the opponent's force, he immediately took Ye Liuyun and flew out of the collapsed area. However, when they flew out, they found that the eight people had already escaped.
After realizing that the triple formation was unable to deal with Lin Aoxue, the old man knew that they were no match for her and that the best strategy was to run away quickly, so he ordered the five of them to directly unleash the strongest attack of the Small Five Elements Formation to delay Lin Aoxue.
"Eh? Ran away? They ran away just because they couldn't win? That wouldn't be such a good thing." Lin Aoxue easily captured the breath of these eight people. They fled to the south, which was exactly the direction they wanted to go.
"Quite clever, isn't it? They used this small five-element formation quite well, but the realm of the person who set up the formation is too low." Ye Liuyun commented.
"It's pretty good. That attack just now was almost close to the Dao Palace realm. Let's go and play cat and mouse." Lin Aoxue sneered. They wanted to run away after provoking them. There is no such good thing in the world.
Look at the eight people who escaped. They were quite smart and did not fly away from the sky. If they had flown away from the sky, Lin Aoxue would have discovered them at the first moment.
But unfortunately, they still underestimated Lin Aoxue's spiritual power, and they still could not escape the coverage of Lin Aoxue's spiritual power.
If it were an ordinary Spiritual Pattern Realm cultivator, he would have probably run away.
"Damn it, Master, I've met a tough guy. How can she be so strong for a cultivator at the Spiritual Pattern Realm? We can kill even cultivators at the peak of the Spiritual Pattern Realm, so why can't we do anything to her?" This group of people are master and apprentice.
This old man’s master has the cultivation level of Half-Step Dao Palace, and the other seven people are all his disciples.
It is very rare for a master at the Spirit Pattern Realm to be able to teach five Spirit Sea Realm and two Spirit River Realm cultivators.
"I'm not sure. I guess he's hiding his ability and trying to play the fool. Let's hurry back to the camp and activate the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation." The old man said seriously.
But when they looked behind them, they didn't see anyone chasing them, so they relaxed a little.
“Master, it seems that those two women didn’t chase us.” said a girl from Linghe Realm.
"Don't be careless. This woman is stronger than my master. With such strength, I believe she will not let us go. We will only be safe if we return to the camp." The old man did not relax his vigilance and was still using his spiritual sense to observe behind him.
But just as she finished speaking and was about to reach the camp, a green light passed over the eight people at an extremely fast speed and blocked their way.
"Where do you want to go? You want to run away because you can't beat them?" Lin Aoxue sneered after catching up with the eight people.
The old man's face changed drastically.
"What a fast speed! Damn it! Run away quickly. I, the master, will cover you." The old man roared.
When the seven people heard this, sad expressions instantly appeared on their faces. The old man had told them before that if they met a strong enemy and he told them to run, then they must run away as soon as possible.
As the seven people spoke, they fled in another direction at the same time, while the old man took out a stick-like weapon, and an electric current emanated from the stick, which meant that the old man was a cultivator who practiced thunder-attributed techniques.
The old man held a stick in both hands, and a very illusory Taoist palace appeared behind him, and then he attacked Lin Aoxue in mid-air.
Lin Aoxue just glanced at the fleeing monks, then raised her hand and used a sword to easily block the old man's flying stick.
"Banbu Dao Palace, although you attacked me, as a master, you stayed behind to cover your disciples even though you knew you were no match for them. This is worthy of admiration. You have a certain level of attainment in formations, so why did you do this kind of highway robbery?" Lin Aoxue looked at the old man and asked questioningly.
Ye Liuyun just told her that it was this old man who knew how to set up the formation, not those five people. The old man regarded these five people as the energy to drive the formation.
Since this old man can arrange a small five-element formation, it won't be a problem for him to go to a sect to practice and become a formation master.
After Lin Aoxue said this, she easily pushed the old man away.
"Hmph! The disciples of the Yunxia Sect always talk too much nonsense. You people from the powerful sects don't listen to reason when you should, and you preach to others when you shouldn't. I feel sick when I hear people from your powerful sects talk." After the old man finished speaking, he swung his stick again. This stick released bolts of lightning, which spread towards Lin Aoxue.
However, Lin Aoxue still easily defeated the electric current with one sword, and at the same time, she appeared on the right side of the old man.
The old man's expression froze, and he immediately used his weapon to block on the right side. But even so, Lin Aoxue still kicked his weapon, and the old man couldn't block it at all. He flew out in an instant and hit the rocks next to him.
However, this attack would at most injure him, not kill her.
