Chapter 859 Surviving a Disaster
Xiao Mian tried his best to analyze the sword energy.
Behind Xiao Mian, Guitou and Heibu were sneaking around.
This time, Xiao Mian was fooled by Guitou and Heibu.
It turned out that although normal sword cultivators would look for places with rich sword energy to experience sword energy and comprehend sword intent when entering the Shuiyue Cave Heaven, no one would dare to integrate the sword energy into their bodies. For tens of millions of years, no one dared to do so.
This is also the reason why the sword energy has not been lost after tens of millions of years.
After all, Xiao Mian is not a pure sword cultivator, and he does not know much about the cultivation system and methods of sword cultivators, so he was calculated by Guitou.
Of course, if he can really integrate this group of sword energy into his body, the benefits he gets will naturally be much stronger than the sword energy of ordinary cultivators.
But the hard work involved is definitely not something that ordinary cultivators can persist in.
Only Xiao Mian might have a slight possibility...
Three hours passed, and the group of sword energy in front of Xiao Mian gradually separated and was sorted into four groups by Xiao Mian - earth, fire, wind and water!
It turned out that this group of sword energy manifested the four attributes of earth, fire, wind and water.
Even so, the earth, fire, wind and water were still chaotic and changing.
The earth has canyons, deserts, cliffs, hills...
Fire has blazing flames, wild flames, sparks, and explosive flames...
Wind has hurricanes, storms, breezes, and cracked winds...
Water has trickles, big rivers, small lakes, and oceans...
The sword intent of each attribute of earth, fire, wind and water is different, and is entangled by countless subtle changes of sword intent.
Xiao Mian was about to go a step further and refine these sword intents again.
The warning sound of the ghost head suddenly came, reminding him that someone was approaching here.
Stopping the work at hand, Xiao Mian was quite annoyed - now he has figured out the trick, as long as he is given another hour, he can separate all the sword intents.
But in the end, it was not as expected...
Xiao Mian had anticipated this situation and had prepared a backup plan.
The immortal stone trembled, and the sword intent that was divided into four piles was collected in it.
With a flicker of his figure, Xiao Mian disappeared.
After a moment, a figure appeared where Xiao Mian had stood before.
"Huh? Strange!" It was a high-level Jindan sword cultivator. Judging from his clothes, he should be a disciple of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion. He was seen turning around in the same place, and he muttered to himself with some reluctance: "According to what the master said, it should be here!"
Obviously, this disciple of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion was looking for the sword energy that Xiao Mian had devoured with the immortal stone...
At this time, Xiao Mian had already escaped.
After that, Xiao Mian found three more places with strong sword energy, one of which was not marked on the jade slip, but he collected them all neatly into the immortal stone.
Judging from the fact that the disciples of Shuiyue Sword Pavilion have already entered Shuiyue Cave Heaven, the second batch of cultivators have indeed appeared in Shuiyue Cave Heaven. Maybe even the last batch of cultivators with the largest number of people have already entered!
In this case, Xiao Mian naturally has no time to work slowly and carefully.
It is better to put it into the immortal stone first and save it for later use.
In this way, Xiao Mian's speed of finding sword energy is naturally much faster, but it also cuts off the foundation of the four places with rich sword energy in Shuiyue Sword Pavilion.
If someone enters Shuiyue Sword Pavilion again in the future, I am afraid they will never find these places again.
Xiao Mian naturally doesn't know this, and even if he knows, he probably doesn't care.
But just when Xiao Mian wanted to find the fifth place with rich sword energy, the five elements ring on his body suddenly shook, and it was Jing Chu who contacted Xiao Mian.
After hearing Jing Chu's words, Xiao Mian's expression was uncertain.
At this moment, the process of finding sword energy was temporarily suspended, and Xiao Mian rushed towards the place marked by Jing Chu.
When Xiao Mian arrived there, he did not see Jing Chu, but a mess, with occasional spots of blood splashing on the ground...
Just when Xiao Mian wanted to contact Jing Chu again to confirm the new position, a sudden explosion came, waking Xiao Mian up.
Following the sound, Xiao Mian saw Jing Chu who was fighting hard, and another person, who was blocked by Jing Chu behind him, was the unconscious Chu Yifan.
Jing Chu's enemies were three high-level Jindan sword cultivators.
With one against three, Jing Chu had no chance of winning. If he had not practiced the "Golden Curse" and "True Gold Nine Forging Techniques", both the Wushang Sword Intent and the physical strength would have been much better than before. Under the repeated attacks of the three people, he would have died long ago...
With a fierce light flashing in his eyes, Xiao Mian secretly released the Star Magnetic Sword.
Since you guys started first, don't blame me for playing dirty!
The sword light of the Star Magnetic Sword condensed, and it sneaked over silently.
At the same time, Xiao Mian unfolded his Night Traveling Clothes, and disappeared with a flash of his body.
The Five Elements Ring trembled slightly, and Jing Chu, who was originally exhausted, was refreshed.
He knew: Xiao Mian is here!
Since Xiao Mian came but did not show up, he was naturally planning to trick him.
Thinking of this, Jing Chu suddenly roared, allowing one of the flying swords to pierce his shoulder blade. Jing Chu used both hands to entangle the other flying sword with all his strength.
The three people were still suspicious of Jing Chu's desperate fight, but soon, the Chaos Sword Light pierced through one person's chest, and the golden light flashed. A huge fist blasted off another person's head. Among the three high-level Jindan cultivators, only one was still standing stupidly...
Seeing his two companions die almost at the same time, the man screamed strangely, and did not bother to escape, but fell to the ground and trembled.
No wonder he was so miserable, the situation changed too quickly.
Those were two high-level Jindan sword cultivators. Even if they were quasi-Yuanying cultivators, they wouldn't be so clean and neat, right?
Xiao Mian, however, caught them by surprise, otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy.
Xiao Mian showed up, glared at the man coldly, secretly activated the Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword, and then came to Jing Chu to check his injuries.
Except for a flying sword stuck in his shoulder blade, which was a bit serious, the rest were just superficial injuries, which made Xiao Mian feel relieved.
Looking at Chu Yifan again, Xiao Mian's face didn't look very good.
At this time, Chu Yifan was breathing out more than breathing in, and it was obvious that his life was hanging by a thread!
"What's going on?"
"I was comprehending the sword energy, and Brother Chu came here in a panic. After seeing me, he took another fork in the road, but he didn't expect it to be a dead end..."
"Really? This Chu Yifan is honest!"
Obviously, Chu Yifan was chased by the three men and had nowhere to go. He could have asked Jing Chu for help, but he was afraid of harming Jing Chu's life, so he avoided him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian, who was still a little hesitant, made up his mind.
Although Chu Yifan's injuries were serious, they were nothing to Wulouzi.
Sure enough, after putting a Wulouzi into Chu Yifan's mouth and helping him dissolve the effect, Chu Yifan gradually woke up.
When Chu Yifan first saw Xiao Mian, he was stunned at first, and then surprised at his own situation.
"This... this is..."
"Brother Chu survived a great disaster, and he will have good fortune in the future!"
"Did Brother Xiao and Brother Jingchu save me?" Chu Yifan was not stupid. Seeing the two corpses at the scene, Chu Yifan smiled bitterly: "I still implicated you!"
"Why are you saying this..."
Just as Xiao Mian said this, the remaining high-level Jindan cultivator finally came back to his senses from extreme shock, with a pale face, shouting at Chu Yifan.
"Chu Yifan! You're dead! You're dead..."
"Who doesn't die in this world? It just depends on who dies first!"
After saying this, Xiao Mian was too lazy to say more. He controlled the Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword to explode in the man's body, and took advantage of the other party's stiffness to harvest his life with the Star Magnetic Sword.
"Brother Xiao! You... Alas!"
Chu Yifan's face changed drastically, but he just sighed.
Xiao Mian didn't care about these, and destroyed the corpses on his own.
But when checking the storage bags of the three people, even Xiao Mian was slightly stunned.
The three of them all had a token of the same standard. Obviously, these three people were not ordinary casual cultivators. They were probably brothers from the same sect.
As expected, Chu Yifan's words confirmed Xiao Mian's guess.
"Brother Xiao! It was Chu who implicated you!"
"What did you say? Are we going to let them kill us?"
"This..., alas! Brother Xiao, you don't know! These three people are disciples of a sect with some power in Yin Shang..."
"What sect is it that makes Brother Chu so embarrassed?"
"..., Leiyin Sect!"
"Leiyin Sect? I haven't heard of it..."
"Leizhen Palace, Brother Xiao, you must have heard of it?" Seeing Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard the words, Chu Yifan smiled bitterly: "This Leiyin Sect is a branch of Leizhen Palace!"
The so-called branch, as the name suggests, is a branch of the sect other than the headquarters. Some large sects often have branches.
To put it bluntly, Shuiyue Sword Pavilion had always regarded itself as a branch of Yunhai Sword Court, but it was a pity that Yunhai Sword Court did not buy it, so it had to live in Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Leiyin Sect, as a branch of Leizhen Palace, it is no wonder that Chu Yifan, a casual cultivator, did not dare to provoke it...
But for Xiao Mian, how about Leiyin Sect? How about Leizhen Palace?
Back then in Zulongju, he even dared to plot against Zhongliyin, an elite disciple of Leizhen Palace, so how could he care about three mere Leiyin Sect disciples?
Kill them, just kill them, just think you are blind!
But Xiao Mian naturally would not tell Chu Yifan about these things in detail.
Besides, it is not bad to make this honest man feel that he owes him a huge favor.
"Brother Chu, are you okay?"
"What elixir did Brother Xiao give me? Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, it is no big deal, but I am not blessed to enjoy this Shuiyue Cave Heaven..."
Chu Yifan's words were not empty words.
In the previous chase, Chu Yifan's flying sword was cut off by the opponent. Even if his body was not seriously injured, he would not be able to stay in Shuiyue Cave Heaven.
Could Xiao Mian still be his bodyguard?
Seeing that Chu Yifan insisted on leaving Shuiyue Cave Heaven first, Xiao Mian was not surprised. He just told him that if there was no emergency, he might as well wait for him and others in Yuelun Mountain.
Anyway, Chu Yifan was going back to Yinshang Realm, so Xiao Mian naturally didn't mind bringing such a guide, so as to avoid being unfamiliar with Yinshang Realm and suffering some losses.
But before Chu Yifan left, he told Xiao Mian a shocking news...
