Chapter 522 Thunder Sounds of the Heavens
The three high-level Jindan cultivators self-destructed their Jindan, and the three true essence storms overlapped. Even Lao Gui and others who were also high-level Jindan cultivators did not dare to underestimate them.
Under the sweep of the true essence storm, except for Lao Gui and another high-level Jindan cultivator who escaped because they saw the opportunity quickly and had high cultivation, all his subordinates were wiped out by the true essence storm and became lonely ghosts floating in the Dragon and Tiger Pond...
As for Xiao Mian, he had planned to sneak away after killing Ji Wuchang. In addition, although Xiao Mian was not far from the place where the three Jindans self-destructed, there was a buffer after all. When Xiao Mian sank into the pond, he still had time to put Ji Wuchang's headless body into the cold stone box.
The pond water settled, and Xiao Mian disappeared.
After the true essence storm subsided, Lao Gui's face was as gloomy as water.
But the next moment, Lao Gui suddenly laughed lightly, and then laughed louder and louder.
"Boss... Boss! Are you okay?"
The only survivor besides Lao Gui, named Cao Rong, stared at Lao Gui blankly. Cao Rong thought his boss had gone crazy because he couldn't accept the reality.
But Lao Gui didn't care and just laughed happily.
After a long time, Lao Gui's laughter stopped abruptly.
Then Lao Gui took out a compass from his arms and injected a trace of true energy into it.
The originally gray compass suddenly lit up, and a blue light spot appeared in the center of the compass. Not far from the blue light spot, a red light spot was gradually fading away.
Hmph!
No matter how cunning you are, you have to drink my foot washing water!
With a cold snort, Lao Gui held the compass in his hand and flew away.
Cao Rong blinked and finally caught up.
At this time, Xiao Mian, after avoiding the previous true energy storm, simply jumped out of the water, released the Qingmu flying boat, got into it, and rushed away.
However, Xiao Mian did not use the speed of the Qingmu flying boat to the extreme. Instead, he took out a jade slip from the storage bag, which was the map that Lao Gui had given him before.
There was nothing wrong with the map itself, but there was an extra divine thought on the jade slip that depicted the map - Lao Gui's own divine thought!
Lao Gui's purpose was very simple, that is, to use the divine thought hidden on this jade slip to easily find Xiao Mian when necessary, such as now.
What Lao Gui didn't know was that although Xiao Mian could not find this divine thought, for the ghost head that had already condensed divine consciousness, Lao Gui's divine thought had nowhere to hide.
Therefore, Xiao Mian had long known what Lao Gui had done.
Holding the jade slip, Xiao Mian's expression was uncertain.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Mian finally did not throw the jade slip into the bottomless pool, nor did he crush it, but kept it close to his body.
Since you want to chase, then let you chase!
After that, Xiao Mian controlled the flying boat, but he did not go in a straight line, but circled around in the sky above Longhutan, as if he was playing hide-and-seek with someone.
At the same time, Xiao Mian was trying his best to restore his true energy.
After an hour, Xiao Mian gradually slowed down.
After flying for another hour, Xiao Mian suddenly stopped and disappeared into the water.
This place is not far from the previous station in Longhutan.
When Lao Gui chased here according to the instructions of the compass, he was quite suspicious, just because this was the place where everyone set up an ambush and surrounded and killed the Jade Tooth Rock Elephant that day.
This kid, how did he get here after going around in circles? Could it be that he was waiting for his companion holding a ghost-head knife to come to meet him?
But this kid's true energy is really long...
Thinking so, Lao Gui swallowed a pill without leaving a trace to restore the true energy consumed in his body. At the same time, the old ghost seemed to have made a decision. He pulled out a necklace from his neck, with a pearl on the top of the necklace.
Reluctant to part with it, the old ghost took off the pearl with his bare hands and crushed it into powder.
With a faint thunder, the powder of the pearl drifted with the wind, like a firefly, but with flickering light flowing in it.
Suddenly, one thunder after another exploded in the air.
A lightning bolt shot out from each grain of powder, and a thunderbolt sounded. These lightning and thunderbolts continued for a long time, condensing on the Dragon and Tiger Pond with the old ghost as the center.
In just a moment, the area within 300 feet around the old ghost became a thunder pool!
Thunder of heaven, thunder of earth, thunder of water, thunder of fire, thunder of wind...
Thunders of various colors intertwined in between. Not to mention how powerful they were, the momentum was already impressive enough to scare people - Cao Rong, who was at the high level of the Golden Core, turned pale.
Lightning rays fell from the sky and hit the water below. The target was the area where the red dot on the compass was. However, strangely, Xiao Mian did not show up. Seeing more and more lightning rays forming layers of lightning networks in that small space, and seeing the red dot on the compass motionless, the old ghost was suspicious and his heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, a sword light rushed over from behind the old ghost.
Fortunately, the old ghost was also a veteran of the battle, and he realized that things were not going well, so he stepped aside first. Seeing the Star Magnetic Sword turned into a chaotic sword light and passed by him, the old ghost's face was gloomy. He would not forget how Ji Wuchang died!
Ji Wuchang, who had been fighting with the old ghost for several years, was beheaded by this chaotic flying sword, and in the end, even his body was taken away by Xiao Mian?
But although the flying sword was there, where was that kid?
Thinking of this, the old ghost secretly said that it was not good.
As the Star Magnetic Sword passed by, the old ghost looked up and saw Xiao Mian's ghostly figure emerging behind Cao Rong, but Cao Rong seemed unaware.
With a roar, the old ghost controlled his flying sword and rushed to help.
At the same time, his eyes turned and the old ghost looked down at the pond with heavy thunder. Xiao Mian was clearly there, why did the compass show the red dot here?
This kid is really cunning!
The old ghost is also a cunning old man. After a little thought, he knew that he had been tricked by Xiao Mian. He had clearly seen through the origin of the jade slip a long time ago, but he had been hiding it and waiting for this time to give the old ghost a surprise. Unexpectedly, the old ghost launched a thunder attack first, which forced Xiao Mian to show up.
Before the official fight, the two had already fought a battle, which was evenly matched.
As for Xiao Mian, seeing the old ghost so alert, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Cao Rong was a high-level Jindan cultivator after all. After being reminded by Lao Gui, Cao Rong did his best not to let Xiao Mian get close to him. He had witnessed Xiao Mian ambush and kill Ji Wuchang, so he was naturally very alert in the battle against Xiao Mian. Besides, Lao Gui's black sword light turned into a shadow, and for a moment, Xiao Mian was unable to kill Cao Rong, a high-level Jindan cultivator, with lightning speed while ensuring his own safety.
Seeing that things were impossible, Xiao Mian decisively retreated to prevent Lao Gui from attacking him. At that time, Xiao Mian would be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
Xiao Mian retreated, and Cao Rong was naturally relieved. Lao Gui looked at Xiao Mian quietly. After launching his flying sword, he did not attack again.
For a while, there was continuous thunder at the scene, but none of the three spoke.
"Brother Laogui! Shouldn't you go with the monk Benchu and others to subdue demons? Why are you fighting with Ji Wuchang again?" Although they had already torn their faces, Xiao Mian still wanted to get some information from Laogui. After all, he was still a little worried about Guihai. Laogui looked at Xiao Mian, suddenly smiled, and then told him about his departure from Benchu, and finally said: "I don't know where your brother is, but if there is no accident, he should still be alive, right?"
Laogui's words were clearly meant in the opposite way, reminding Xiao Mian openly and secretly not to expect to wait for Guihai's rescue, perhaps at this time, Guihai was in trouble.
Xiao Mian frowned when he heard this. He was naturally not worried that Guihai could not come to rescue him, but he did not expect the situation in Longhutan to be so complicated.
Obviously, it was not just Laogui and Ji Wuchang who left the Benchu army. In other words, there might be people with ulterior motives everywhere in Longhutan now.
With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian's mouth curled slightly.
"This place is not far from the base. Brother Laogui made such a big scene. Aren't you afraid of attracting others and killing the three of us without knowing the truth?"
"Don't worry about it, brother Xiao! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: the pearl I just crushed is a rare treasure of Buddhism - Leiyin Pearl!"
Leiyin Pearl?
Although Xiao Mian had expected it, he couldn't help but change his face when he heard Laogui being so frank. Xiao Mian is no longer a rookie who just debuted. Naturally, he knows that the so-called Leiyin Pearl is a genuine rare treasure of Buddhism.
Leiyin Pearl is a one-time magic weapon. It can't hurt the enemy by itself, but it can create a - the Thunder Sound Boundary of the Heavens!
In the Thunder Sound Boundary of the Heavens, thunder and lightning are everywhere.
However, the great sound is silent and the great image is invisible. Outside the Heavenly Thunder Sound Barrier, others saw nothing unusual. The purpose of this Thunder Sound Pearl is to create a shielding barrier. Within the barrier, if the thunder does not disappear, the people inside the barrier cannot leave freely.
It seems that the old ghost is really determined to kill Xiao Mian.
It should be noted that this Thunder Sound Pearl is more valuable than the sixth-level Thunder Pearl.
"Brother Xiao, if you can hand over Ji Wuchang's body, I may consider letting you go, and I find that we are the same kind of people. If you don't mind, brother Xiao, how about we two brothers go together and travel the world together in the future?"
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the old ghost with a smile.
Seeing that the old ghost said this seriously, Xiao Mian suddenly felt that there was nothing to say to such a two-faced person, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored.
"Just handing over Ji Wuchang's body is probably not enough, right? Brother Old Ghost, you are so deliberate and tampered with the jade slip you gave me, isn't it for Ji Wuchang?" While speaking, Xiao Mian took out the two pieces of chessboard fragments and shook them. Seeing the gleam in Old Ghost's eyes, Xiao Mian laughed secretly: "These two pieces were found on the two brothers of the Liu family who I killed in Nanyue Province. Brother Old Ghost should have seen them, right?"
"Huh..., so you knew it a long time ago!"
"Now, Brother Old Ghost, do you still plan to travel with Xiao and travel the world together? Or do you plan to kill Xiao and avenge your two brothers?" Staring at Old Ghost's eyes, Xiao Mian said word by word: "Brother Liu - Liu Family Dahuai!"
It turned out that the old ghost was Liu Dahuai!
