Chapter 523: Soul-Catching Magnetic Ring
Above Longhutan, Xiao Mian and Laogui stood facing each other, Cao Rong huddled aside.
"Brother Xiao, you don't even have the mood to be perfunctory with me? I don't know how my two untalented brothers offended Brother Xiao, and you took them all away."
With a bitter smile, Laogui - Liu Dahuai felt a little regretful. Xiao Mian was so determined to bring up the deaths of Liu Erhuai and Liu Sanhuai, which meant that there was no room for mediation between him and Liu Dahuai. What's more, the matter involved the mysterious chessboard fragments. Laogui had no intention of letting Xiao Mian go, otherwise he would not have used the rare treasure like Leiyinzhu right away.
"There is no deep hatred, they just want to kill me!"
"Oh! How can those two be a match for Brother Xiao with their incompetence? I guess in the end, they want to kill Brother Xiao but fail, but are crushed to ashes by Brother Xiao!" As if chatting casually, Lao Gui said calmly: "Although the three of us brothers have been scheming against each other since childhood, we are brothers from the same mother after all. If you don't know about this, it's fine. Since you know about this, I, as the eldest brother, must do my part!"
The two said no more.
Coincidentally, the two attacked at the same time.
The black sword light controlled by Lao Gui seemed to be a flying sword of the primary magic weapon level, but the quality was extremely high. He fought against the Star Magnetic Sword head-on for several rounds, but he was not hurt at all.
At the same time, Lao Gui had already prepared a countermeasure for the Five Spirits War Dragon launched by Xiao Mian. He saw that Lao Gui's true essence was swelling all over his body, and streams of true essence condensed like real dragons gushed out of Lao Gui's body, forming a formation and rushing towards the Five Spirits War Dragon.
This kind of secret technique consumes the most true essence. I don't know whether Lao Gui is confident that his realm is one level higher than Xiao Mian, his true essence is more abundant than Xiao Mian, or he has other reasons.
Xiao Mian was naturally happy with this. Even if Lao Gui's true essence was abundant, how could he compare with him?
Previously, Xiao Mian drove the flying boat around in the sky above Longhutan. It seemed that he was trying every means to get rid of the pursuers behind him, but in fact he was trying to consume the pursuers' true essence as much as possible.
Although Lao Gui was not as good as Xiao Mian, he could restore his true essence by swallowing pills, but all pills would have pill poison. Taking a few pills in a battle might not have any effect, but taking a large amount of pills would cause harm to the cultivators.
Xiao Mian, who had suffered from the stagnation of dan poison, naturally knew this very well.
Since the old ghost tried to decide the outcome by consuming his true essence, Xiao Mian was naturally happy to accompany him - after revising the Golden Elixir Chapter "Three Pure Ones Bible", Xiao Mian's true essence was unusually strong.
Xiao Mian had to adopt such a passive strategy.
Although Xiao Mian had easily killed Ji Wuchang, who was at the high level of the Golden Elixir Realm, before, it was Ji Wuchang's bad luck that caused him to run into Xiao Mian's ambush. In addition, the Soul Devouring Finger was unpredictable, corroding the Impermanence Shield that Ji Wuchang relied on to save his life, the Star Magnetic Sword was unusually sharp, and the Heart-Breaking Fist was hard to defend against, which made Ji Wuchang die with regret.
But the whole process was seen by the old ghost. With the old ghost's meticulousness, how could the same method work on him again?
On the way to chase Xiao Mian, Lao Gui had already analyzed the various methods Xiao Mian used to kill Ji Wuchang, and then he formulated a strategy to consume his true essence and kill Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian naturally couldn't stand there and stare at Lao Gui, because he was a body cultivator, and his body and fists were his most powerful weapons. Silently, Xiao Mian deployed his body skills and rushed towards Lao Gui, but the other party saw through his intentions first.
As soon as Xiao Mian moved, Lao Gui dodged and retreated.
Without the amplification of Thunder Wings, Xiao Mian's speed was already comparable to Lao Gui, but the two were now in the Thunder Sound Boundary of the Heavens. For some reason, the lightning and thunder that filled this place ignored Lao Gui, but were particularly fond of Xiao Mian.
It turned out that since he got the Thunder Sound Pearl, Lao Gui had deliberately collected a set of lightning protection and lightning avoidance equipment, and now he finally put it to use.
Seeing Lao Gui swimming like a fish among the lightning and thunder, Xiao Mian looked ugly. Few people would believe that a high-level Jindan cultivator dared not confront a mid-level Jindan cultivator head-on. Even Xiao Mian did not expect the old ghost to be so cunning.
But then, the old ghost made Xiao Mian realize what cunning was.
"Cao Rong! Why don't you take action now? When will you do it?"
The old ghost shouted angrily, awakening Cao Rong who was cowering on the side.
Poor Cao Rong was a high-level Jindan cultivator after all, but he was frightened by the scene of Xiao Mian ambushing Ji Wuchang, and he did not have the courage to take advantage of Xiao Mian. However, Cao Rong was used to being yelled at by the old ghost, but he did not have the courage to disobey the old ghost in person.
Seeing that the Xingci Divine Sword was entangled by the "Sun and Moon Sword" of his boss, and the Five Spirits War Dragon was trapped by the True Yuan Flying Dragon sent by the old ghost, even Xiao Mian himself could not get rid of the old ghost's restraint. Cao Rong's frightened courage gradually swelled up and he was ready to move.
Finally, Cao Rong could not help but cast a spell.
Xiao Mian was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Facing the huge blade of true energy sent by Cao Rong, Xiao Mian raised his hand and punched it, smashing it into pieces. After glaring at Cao Rong fiercely, Xiao Mian wanted to turn around and deal with this guy, but Lao Gui took the opportunity to send a huge true energy hand to him, forcing Xiao Mian to resolve it first.
At this point, Xiao Mian understood Lao Gui's intention.
Lao Gui and Cao Rong were like the two ends of a seesaw. Once Xiao Mian attacked one of them, the other would sneak attack Xiao Mian, forcing Xiao Mian to respond; and once Xiao Mian ran back and forth, he would inevitably waste a lot of true energy; at the same time, Lao Gui and Cao Rong could get a chance to breathe, and after a long time, Xiao Mian would naturally fall into a disadvantage.
Hum!
What a deep plot!
Cursing inwardly, Xiao Mian opened the spirit beast bag and released Qing Jing.
Ever since he entered the Dragon and Tiger Pond, Xiao Mian had not released Qing Jing, one reason was to conceal his presence, and the other was to hide his strength.
Staying in the spirit beast bag these days was undoubtedly a disaster for Qing Jing, and therefore, when she saw the light of day, Qing Jing was extremely excited.
After receiving Xiao Mian's instructions, Qing Jing flew towards Cao Rong.
With Qing Jing's current strength, it was no problem to deal with ordinary high-level Jindan cultivators, not to mention that Xiao Mian did not necessarily want Qing Jing to kill Cao Rong. As long as he could restrain the other party and prevent him from forming a tacit understanding with the old ghost, Xiao Mian's siege would be lifted immediately.
The appearance of Qing Jing shocked Cao Rong and made the old ghost look gloomy.
Qing Jing and Cao Rong were having fun over there, but Xiao Mian and the old ghost were staring at each other. For a while, neither of them dared to act rashly.
It was the old ghost who changed his previous retreating style and took the initiative to launch an offensive.
A black round bracelet that was spinning wildly was controlled by the old ghost.
The round bracelet was not big at first, only the size of a palm, but it grew in the wind, and it became bigger and faster. In a moment, it was shaped like a millstone and pressed towards Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian shook out the soft tongue whip with his hand, and under the infusion of true energy, the soft tongue whip was as straight as a gun.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Mian pried the soft tongue whip into the side of the huge round bracelet, intending to flip it over with a skill of four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
Unexpectedly, the soft tongue whip was absorbed by the surface of the round bracelet as soon as it came into contact with it, and no matter how Xiao Mian urged it, it could not get away.
With a frown, Xiao Mian dodged and retreated.
The strong wind stirred, and the huge round bracelet with the soft tongue whip smashed into the Dragon and Tiger Pond, exploding a pool of water, but the round bracelet sank into the pond with the soft tongue whip and disappeared.
For a moment, water splashed and lightning flashed.
With a sound of waves, a round bracelet jumped out of the gradually calmed water surface.
At this time, the round bracelet had returned to the size of a palm, and it turned around and returned to the old ghost's hand, along with Xiao Mian's soft tongue whip that had lost control.
The round bracelet was actually an extremely rare and strange magic weapon!
However, after a face-to-face encounter, Xiao Mian's soft tongue whip was confiscated by the old ghost.
For Xiao Mian, the soft tongue whip was dispensable, but if the old ghost used the same trick again, even if he was rich, how many magic weapons could he have to confiscate the round bracelet?
Sure enough, before Xiao Mian could think of a countermeasure, the round bracelet attacked again.
Facing the round bracelet as huge as a millstone, Xiao Mian had to retreat.
Unexpectedly, the round bracelet looked huge, but in fact it was extremely agile. Under the control of the old ghost, the round bracelet chased Xiao Mian closely.
At first, Xiao Mian was able to avoid touching the wandering lightning while retreating, but as the speed of the round bracelet increased, Xiao Mian had to speed up his own speed, and as a result, he could no longer worry about the harassment of the lightning.
These lightnings were naturally much easier than when Xiao Mian was going through the small heavenly tribulation, but the accumulation of a little bit makes a lot, and the accumulation of a lot of numbness is enough to make Xiao Mian a little overwhelmed.
After being hit by a lightning bolt on the back again, Xiao Mian's heart was furious.
He suddenly stopped his body, stomped his feet in the air, and rushed towards the round bracelet instead.
He punched out with a bang, and the round bracelet stopped.
In the loud noise, Xiao Mian's face turned pale, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips. The round bracelet also made a whine, circling, and flew back to the old ghost's hand, trembling slightly.
The old ghost was heartbroken and frightened.
It should be noted that although his soul-absorbing magnetic ring is only an elementary magic weapon, its function is very unique, that is, it can absorb the spiritual energy in the opponent's magic weapon or magic tool, thereby making the opponent's magic weapon or magic tool ineffective and confiscated by the soul-absorbing magnetic ring. The soft tongue whip before was caught by the soul-absorbing magnetic ring and accidentally fell into the hands of the old ghost.
The reason why the soul-absorbing magnetic ring can confiscate magic weapons is because the body of the soul-absorbing magnetic ring is a whole piece of Wanling magnetic rock. This Wanling magnetic rock is formed by thousands of various spiritual materials piled up underground and squeezed into a square inch size by the pressure of the earth's core. Although the round bracelet is only the size of a palm, its weight can reach tens of thousands of pounds.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian's punch actually blasted the soul-absorbing magnetic ring back head-on.
The old ghost looked at Xiao Mian and his fists with some fear, and his expression was ugly. As for Xiao Mian, his blood was boiling at this time, and he felt that his true energy was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, and it was very uncomfortable. Xiao Mian knew that he was injured.
Both sides had their own concerns and stopped fighting for a while.
But at this time, Qing Jing and Cao Rong were fighting fiercely...
