Chapter 46: Slay Another

asure could not be easily given to others.” 。Even though Lu Daoist doesn't have Yuanci Jinye in his hands, if Lu Daoist wants it, he will naturally have it. 。The art of refining Xuanqing's Yuanci Gold...Well then, there's no avoiding a good fight. 。Zhou Xin's face turned ugly for a moment, and he blew a whistle. 。The black ape's thick palm struck his chest several times, the black hairs on his body and the exposed muscles flashing gold in an instant. 。Looks imposing 。Zou Xinfen was very wary of Lu Xiaoteng's backhand, so she let Hei Yuan lead the charge. 。The black ape roared and charged towards Lu Xia Tian, its huge body running causing a slight tremor on the ground. 。The demonic beast's physical strength is usually stronger than that of a cultivator of the same rank. After the black ape cast "Golden Armor Technique", its defense increased several times, posing a certain threat to cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refinement. 。Lu Xia Tian's brows furrowed, then quickly relaxed. 。With a flick of his left hand, several lit firecrackers were flung out, and instantly a thick cloud of black smoke billowed forth, obscuring everything within a radius of several zhang. 。"No good, retreat!" Zou Xin's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly ordered Hei Yuan to back away, avoiding the sneak attack and being defeated by Lu Xia Tian one by one. 。At the same time, Zou Xin unleashed both the "Whirlwind Technique" and the "Spirit Eye Technique". 。To avoid being ambushed by Lu Xiaitian, but he didn't notice a slight sound of an object landing. 。"Rocket Art!" With the black smoke dispersed, Lu Xia Tian cast a low-level spell. 。Ten rocket launchers fired at the Black Ape. 。"Roar!" The black ape roared, darting left and right with an agility that belied its massive body. It dodged most of the rockets, but was still struck by a few. 。The rockets were like they hit a layer of iron armor, sparking and flying everywhere, but couldn't pierce the black ape's skin. 。The Black Ape cried out in pain, leaping up and down. 。The black mist thinned, and Lu Xia Tian noticed several bloodstains on the black ape's body upon closer inspection. 。A smile involuntarily crossed his face. This was normal, after all. Even if a first-tier monster was a bit stronger and managed to withstand his spells, it would still sustain some minor injuries. 。Zou Xin was furious, and his wolf-tooth club suddenly swung towards Lu Xiaoteng's head. 。A sword strike came like a gust of wind, in the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of blows. 。Lu Xia Tian's heart sank. He was using a short sword. 。Although the weapons used by the men in fine clothes were also mid-grade spirit artifacts, the wolf tooth club had a significant size advantage. After dozens of exchanges, Lu Xia Tian's hands began to go numb. 。He had to simultaneously dodge the attacks of the black ape and be harassed by the men in embroidered robes, leaving him quite embarrassed. 。“That’s all you got, kid You're dead.” 。"Zou Xin let out a hearty laugh. He had experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, his experience was extremely rich. After several exchanges, he had grasped Lu Xiaoteng's strength quite well; their cultivation levels were roughly the same." 。

His action was bold and more than enough, but his experience was lacking.

He looks his age. 。However, this man is incredibly intelligent. He has defeated many powerful individuals. The most important reason might be that he possesses the antidote for Shadow Ants and excels at strategizing. 。He was carrying so many talismans that he nearly capsized in the sewer, which was really unfair. 。"It's not necessarily so." 。Lu Xia Tian's sword forced Zou Xin back, a gust of wind flashing behind him. 。Lu Xia Tian hurriedly rushed forward a few steps. 。However, a searing pain still lingered on my back. Without looking, I knew it was the black ape's claws that had wounded me. 。"A dead duck's mouth is hard, so let me show you my methods." 。"Zhou Xin reached out his hand and drew out a peculiar leather talisman. The spiritual talisman's pattern was intricate, and unlike the fluctuating attributes of ordinary spell talismans, " 。This talisman was pulsing with a violent, ferocious aura of blood煞. 。"Blood Demon Talisman!"Lu Xia Tian's face was filled with astonishment. Ordinary spirit talismans could only be used by cultivators, beasts couldn't. 。However, a long time ago, powerful cultivators also researched talismans that could be used by demonic beasts, the Blood Demon Talisman! It can stimulate the potential of demonic beasts in a short period of time, greatly increasing their power. 。However, using this talisman also comes at a great price. After the Blood Demon Talisman's effect wears off, the spirit beast's strength will plummet drastically. 。Originally, the black ape that was comparable to a third-tier Qi Refinement cultivator, could very likely fall to the second tier, or even be comparable to a first-tier Qi Refinement cultivator's strength. 。"Good, it's indeed a Blood Fiend Talisman, you do have discerning taste." 。It would be an honor to die by my hand. 。"Zou Xin grinned, this blood demon talisman he only had two in his hand, it was used to save his life when things were critical. He usually didn't dare to use it, but due to the gruesome death of the large-sized monster, Zou Xin still had some apprehension towards Lu Xiaoteng." 。Fear that Lu Xia Tian still has a large number of talismans in his possession and seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack while he is unprepared. 。

Without any preparation, facing dozens of basic spells would lead to the same fate as the large monster, being overwhelmed and killed by a surprise attack in a panic.

Therefore, Zou Xin chose a relatively stable approach. He used the Blood Demon Talisman to unleash Hei Yuan's potential and let Hei Yuan take the lead at the crucial moment while he provided flanking attacks. 。As long as we can defeat Lü Xiaoteng, even at the cost of Hei Yuan, it would be a very worthwhile sacrifice. 。Lu Xiaitian hurriedly stabbed at Zou Xin with several swords. Zou Xin laughed strangely and parried one after another, his blood demon talisman already activated in his hand. 。The blood demon talisman transformed into a crimson ray in the air, enveloping the black ape. 。The black ape roared wildly, its body suddenly rising several feet. Its fangs protruded from its mouth, looking terrifying. Its breath surged from a low-level monster to a second-level monster, crossing an entire level. 。“Haha, kid, surrender!” 。Seeing Heiyuan's strength surge, Zou Xin felt confident in his heart. Facing two enemies alone, no matter how cunning this kid was, it couldn't change the gap in their abilities. 。“Is that so” Lu Xia Tian let out a cold smile. When a person is at their most arrogant, they are often closest to success. 。The man in fine clothes thought it was a sure win, but would he have no preparation Lu Xia Tian advanced step by step, appearing to be desperate. 。Zou Xinxin waved his arms a few times, deflecting Lu Xiaodong's attacks. He retreated, and with victory in sight, he naturally didn't want to risk getting into close combat with Lu Xiaodong again. 。However, Lu XiaTian's consecutive swords were fierce and sharp. 。Zou Xin retreated a few steps, the Black Ape was about to absorb the power of the Blood Demon Talisman completely. All that remained was for his spirit beast to pounce, and this kid would be dead. 。< Zou Xin thought viciously > 。But as Zou Xin was retreating, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his leg. 。It seems like something is lying on top of it. 。In a rush, he glanced down and saw several ants already crawling up his leg, opening their mouths to bite. 。Dozens more ant corpses, which should have been dead, suddenly flapped their wings and flew up from the ground, charging at him. 。Zou Xin dun was so frightened that he lost two of his three souls. 。He hurriedly tried to strike down the ant-like shadows on his legs, but Lu Xiaoteng's sword had already come towards him like a butcher cleaving through flesh. 。Desperate, the shadow ants have already crawled onto my legs. The protective aura no longer works at all. 。

Zou Xin could only wave his wolf tooth club to repel Lu Xiaoteng.

A fierce and powerful blow struck Lù Xiǎotiān, sending him staggering back over ten feet. However, his legs were also bitten several times, instantly interrupting the smooth flow of his internal energy. 。Then more hornets flew onto Zou Xin's body and bit him. In the blink of an eye, he could no longer mobilize even a shred of mana. 。

Zou Xin's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He couldn't understand why. Shadow Ants weren't the spirit insects of the Big-Eared Monsters, were they The Big-Eared Monsters were dead. Even if Lu Xia Tian got the remaining spirit insects, without being tempered, he definitely wouldn't be able to do such a precise ambush in such a short time.

This kid wasn't afraid of the Shadow Ants of high-rank monsters before. He must have eaten some kind of medicine beforehand, he might even be a Worm Cultivator himself. 。"Zou felt a chill run down his spine, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He racked his brain, but couldn't figure out how. From when Lu Xiaoteng fought with the big-eared monster until now, he had seen everything clearly within the formation. Lu Xiaoteng didn't show any signs of using the Shadow Ants at all." 。Otherwise, he will surely escape your eyes. 。"You, how on earth did you do that" Zou Xin saw Lu Xia Tian approaching again, and angrily shouted. 。Just be a fool. 。Lu Xia Tian’s expression was cold and stern, brandishing his sword ready to end his life. 。A roar came from behind. 。Lu Xia Tian cursed inwardly at the heavenly being. 。The Black Ape, having absorbed the full power of the Blood Demon Talisman, charged towards him. 。Although he could have ended the opponent's life with a single sword strike, at this time, Hei Yuan's strength was comparable to that of a second-order demonic beast, not much different from his own. Moreover, Hei Yuan's physical strength was originally several times his, so Lu Xia Tian dared not take Hei Yuan's blow head-on. If he did, he might end up dying alongside the man in fine clothes. This outcome was not what he desired. 。After a moment's thought, Lu Xiaoteng turned and drew his sword. 。The tremendous force sent him stumbling backward several steps. The Black Ape, despite its strength, was still flesh and blood. Having taken his sword blow head-on, a gash appeared on its paw, blood flowing freely from the wound. 。But the black bear was not injured at all, nor did it even hesitate. Instead, it seemed even more frenzied. Its already wild eyes were now bloodshot red. 。"Want to kill me Not so easy." 。However, Zou Xin was deeply troubled inside. 。Now he is completely helpless, only hoping that Hei Yuan can kill Lu Xia Tian. 。Therefore, he tried to distract Lu Xia Tian in the midst of battle with spoken words. 。“You're such a nuisance, killing you would be a mere blink of an eye.” 。Lu XiaTian dodged the black ape's brutal charge, glanced at Zou Xin, and said, "You only dare to talk big. If you have the guts, kill me now." 。"Zhou Xin shouted passionately:" 。"You really think I can't do anything to you, as you wish" 。Lu Xia Tian pressed against the spirit beast pouch on his waist. 。A white mist flashed, the leopard shook its head, revealing its agile form, and pounced on Zou Xin with a ferocious glare. 。Zou Xin's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Lu Xia Tian to have another spirit beast. Although its strength was low, only comparable to that of a Qi Refinement second-layer cultivator, at this moment, it was like a raging flood and ferocious beast to him. 。The leopard took a few steps and then leaped, pouncing on Zou Xin. It bit down on Zou Xin's throat with its teeth. 。“Get back!” Lu Xiaoteng pushed the leopard away from the black ape, fearing it might make a mistake. The leopard's strength couldn't withstand the black ape's powerful strike after its power surge. 。The strength gained from the blood demon talisman is, after all, not comparable to one's own innate power. Although the black ape's brute force is formidable, Lu Xia Tian also has ways to deal with it. 。With a gesture, dozens of shadow ants flew from Zou Xin's body, buzzing towards the black ape. 。The black ape went on a rampage, smashing dozens to death. However, unlike cultivators who could skillfully use spells or tactics to dodge, it lacked flexibility and was soon bitten dozens of times by the shadow ants. 。Lu XiaTian seized the opportunity to cleave off Hei Yuan's head with a sword. 。The leopard obsequiously brought Zou Xin's storage bag over and placed it at Lu Xiaodong's feet. 。You're quite the slippery one. 。"Finally, the crisis was resolved. Lu Xiaotian's face was relieved with a smile as he stroked the leopard's head and said, "When we go back, I will look for a method to refine beast spirit pills of a higher level. Maybe I can improve your strength too. Go on in." 。The leopard happily rubbed its head against Lu Xiaodong's trouser leg and entered the spirit beast bag. 。Lu Xia Tian extended his hand and drew the storage bag into his hand. 。Then he put the remaining soldier ants away and checked Zou Xin's body again, making sure nothing was missed. 。With his strength, he was indeed not enough to contend against Zhou Xin, whose cultivation level was similar to his. Besides, the black ape, whose strength had surged to the second rank of demon beasts, 。And he is not as skilled at controlling the Shadow Ants as the Big-Eared Monster. 。Though they had little chance of victory, Zou Xin was ultimately somewhat carried away by success. 。Actually, when they first clashed, he released the Luoyan Guo and a black mist enveloped everything. 。Lu Xia Tian was not trying to ambush. 。Instead, he used a feint attack to distract Zou Xin, and at the same time, secretly released his Shadow Ants, letting them fall to the ground. 。

After a fierce battle with the large-scale monster, he had already killed and wounded dozens of shadow ants. The ground was in a mess.

rugged and uneven 。

While Zou Xin had witnessed Lu Xiaotian's prowess, his attention remained fixed on Lu Xiaotian, wary that Lu Xiaotian might suddenly unleash a barrage of spirit talismans, leaving him completely unprepared.

After a fierce battle with Lu Xia Tian, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the corpses of shadow ants that littered the ground. 。Later, Zou Xinji sacrificed a bloody demon talisman, thinking he had everything under control and lowered his guard once again. 。Therefore, Lu Xia Tian was outwitted and lost his life. 。Lu Xia Tian waved his hand and threw out two fireballs. The monster with a large forehead and Zou Xin's corpse were instantly reduced to ashes. 。Lu Xiaotian quickly left the small grove. There had been a series of fierce battles here, and there were still remnants of magical energy fluctuations. It might be noticed by passing cultivators that something was amiss, so it wasn't a safe place to stay long. 。In the evening, Lu Xia Tian came to a valley and accidentally saw a mighty brown bear crawling out of a tree hole in a towering ancient tree. 。Lu Xia Tian smiled slightly, it seems like he has a place to stay tonight. Walking alone in the mountains at night is not very safe. 。Taking advantage of the brown bear's absence while foraging for food, Lu Xia Tian nimbly climbed into the tree hollow. The interior was spacious, capable of accommodating several individuals of his size. 。It's just darkness, no light at all. 。But this was no challenge for him. With the flow of qi within his body, his eyes were filled with a refreshing clarity. 。Light is still dim, but with the use of "Spiritual Vision," I can now see objects. 。Lu Xia Tian took out two storage bags. He first opened the one belonging to the brocade-clad man, Zou Xin. 。Inside there were sixty or seventy pieces of various spirit stones, some healing medicine, a large quantity of spiritual herbs, a few ores used for refining, and some monster fur and materials. Lu XiaTian looked down on them all. 。However, some of these herbs were actually mission items from the Lingxiao Palace and Qingdan Palace. 。There is also a blood demon talisman, which is exceptionally precious. It is unknown how this man in fine clothes obtained such a valuable item. 。Lu Xia Tian sent all these things into the barrier, then opened the storage bag of the big-eared monster, and was immediately taken aback. He was already rich as an alchemist, but he didn't expect that the big-eared monster raised hundreds of shadow ants and still had such a wealthy fortune. There were hundreds of various kinds of spirit stones 。From the storage bag, Lu Xia Tian found several more spirit grasses of Lingxiao Palace. Some were duplicates of what he already had. 。
