Chapter 178 Crush the Gathering Force! (First update)
After three breaths, Helianzhi was entangled by the black demon's layers of evil energy and was fixed in the air. Including the two breaths used by the old man to cast the spell before, the total time is five breaths.
"Hmph, I need to be serious, the young patriarch of the White Tiger Tribe is nothing more than this!" The old man looked at the trapped Helianzhi with a look of dismay on his face.
"Evil thieves, you are so vicious, aren't you afraid of retribution?" A follower in the thorn cage yelled when he saw that Helianzhi was also captured.
"Hey hey hey, do you blame us for being vicious? I think you should blame us or blame you for being too careless. You always go to Tianqi City to find the sword-making boy. Otherwise, how could we keep an eye on you? The situation in the White Tiger Department is so tense. We can't even send anyone to protect the young patriarch when he goes out. You, the self-righteous young patriarch, dare to go out and do this so-called seeking talents. You are really stupid." The old woman laughed shrilly.
"Haha, I think the guy who made the sword is only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. Helianzhi, you are so blind to think so highly of him. If I were repeatedly rejected by a Qi Condensation monk, I would have been Just kill him, you can spend a year with him, I somewhat admire your good temper." The young woman also looked arrogant, as if she had been rewarded by the Tiger Devouring Department.
"Are the monks at the fifth level of Qi Condensation very weak?" Suddenly, a voice came from everyone present, as cold as ice.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this voice. Especially the three casual cultivators in the late stage of concentration. They have gone one step further and become refinement cultivators, so now their spiritual consciousness can play some role unconsciously. But just now they didn't feel anyone around them at all, so this person's cultivation level is probably higher than them.
"Who is it!" The three casual cultivators said in unison, looking in the direction of the sound, and had already taken a stance against the enemy.
"It's you!" They turned around and soon saw a young man standing in the air. It's just that this young man is very familiar to them, because he is the fifth-level Qi Condensation minor cultivator that the middle-aged woman mentioned just now, Huan Yin!
The three people's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what they saw, because Huan Yin, like them, was standing in the sky at this moment, without borrowing any flying magic weapon at all. To be able to fly in the air, one must reach the state of concentration. However, while they were eyeing Helianzhi, they also observed Huan Yin for a long time. They clearly remembered that Huan Yin's cultivation level had always been at the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
"He is a late-stage Juli cultivator. How could he be a late-stage Juli cultivator!" Finally, the old man reacted first and examined Huan Yin's cultivation. After this inspection, he suddenly discovered that Huan Yin's cultivation level was the same as theirs!
Not long after Huan Yin walked out of Tianqi City, he saw a fierce fight in the sky, and naturally heard the sarcasm of the middle-aged woman later. He never expected that Helianzhi would even disregard his own safety in order to seek his help. You know, Helianzhi is the young patriarch of a tribe. His position is very important, but his sincerity seems to be more sincere than Huan Yin imagined.
So Huan Yin could no longer stay away from the world, so he chose to take action!
Huan Yin broke through the suppression of his cultivation on the ground, and then his cultivation began to rise rapidly. In an instant, he reached the state of the early stage of concentration. This state had been reached by Huan Yin as early as Yanzhou. If he hadn't been seriously injured by a powerful monk in the end, those he had killed before How could the enemy cultivator not be enough for him to break through the Qi Condensation?
However, after Huan Yin reached the early stage of gathering strength, his cultivation did not stabilize. His body also contains more power. These powers are the result of his profound foundation during the Qi Condensation Period after practicing the "Infinite Soul Sutra", as well as his unremitting efforts and massive accumulation in Tianqi City. All of these allowed him to transcend the first two realms of the Juli Stage in one fell swoop and directly reach the late stage of Juli—Huan Yin’s late stage of Juli, which is also the late stage of Juli recognized by the "Infinite Soul Sutra"!
"Old lady, I've traveled across the river desert for many years, but I didn't expect that today I would miss a monk of the same level. Humph, but three of them have been captured, how do you think you can be a hero?" The old woman who had been standing behind walked away. came out, obviously preparing to take action against Huan Yin.
The old woman looked at her two companions, then looked at Helianzhi, and said proudly: "This time, let me deal with him. Helianzhi, I want you to take a good look at it. You have been chasing me so hard." How did this person die by my hands!"
After saying that, the old woman reached out and took a dagger in her hand. The old woman's technique changed several times, and the dagger gradually lit up with light. Finally, it surrounded the old woman's entire body, making her and the dagger in her hand become one.
"Kill with a dagger!" the old woman screamed and rushed towards Huan Yin.
When Helianzhi saw the old woman taking action, he immediately thought something was wrong for Huan Yin. The cultivation fluctuation coming from the old woman at this moment was even stronger than the old man's rickety black devil just now. It seemed that the old woman had directly used the killing move, hoping to kill Huan Yin with one move.
The old woman was extremely fast. He held the dagger in both hands and held it at the forefront of the impact direction. He rushed towards Huan Yin in the blink of an eye. But at this moment, Huan Yin still had his hands behind his back and seemed not to care about the old woman's technique at all.
"Death!" the old woman shouted, and finally rushed to a place only three inches away from Huan Yin. The cold light on the tip of his knife had even touched Huan Yin's body.
"Get out!" A loud shout came from Huan Yin's mouth, and then he waved his sleeves and hit the old woman with a huge force. The old woman who was still so aggressive before was directly knocked back, and she was flying back. Blood was constantly spilled in the process.
The power of one drink is so powerful! Everyone present was shocked. They could not imagine that except for the cultivation level above refining, who else could defeat the old woman so lightly. However, Huan Yin's cultivation level was clearly in the late stage of gathering strength. Exactly the same as that old woman.
Little did they know that Huan Yin's cultivation was so strange that even if his current combat power could not keep up with the refining monks, he might still be able to protect himself from death in front of the refining monks. If he can reach the Great Perfection of Gathering Strength, it may not be impossible to fight against the monks in the early stages of refining.
The middle-aged woman supported the old woman who flew back. When she saw that the old woman's face was covered with blood and she was almost dying, a look of fear suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Li, Friend Daoist Mo, I'll let this go for today. I'll take my leave!" As a casual cultivator, the middle-aged woman was able to achieve the realm of the late stage of Juli. Her experience was extraordinary, and her caution was rare. When she saw Huan Yin beating the old woman to a point where she was seriously injured and dying even before he made any move, she immediately decided to leave regardless of what kind of cultivation Huan Yin seemed to have.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, I'm leaving too!" The hunchbacked old man reacted quickly. He instantly released the spell that trapped Helianzhi and the other three, and turned around in the opposite direction to the middle-aged woman. Ran away.
What I have to admit is that those who can become late-stage Juli monks are all extremely cunning. The two of them fled with their backs turned, just to make Huan Yin useless, so that they would have a greater chance of survival.
However, now that Huan Yin has experienced the baptism of the Battle of Yanzhou, he is no longer as kind as he was when he was young. He will not show any mercy to those who have evil intentions.
Huan Yin flicked his left hand and a fan flew into the air. After the fan stopped in the air, it suddenly unfolded, and soon a giant spirit holding two maces flew out from it.
With Huan Yin's current cultivation level, he sacrificed the giant spirit fan, and the giant spirit produced was not only more solid, but the fluctuations in cultivation level from the giant spirit were also stronger, which was not something that the old man could resist.
The giant spirit caught up with the old man at an extremely fast speed, then raised his mace and smashed it into the old man's head and face. The old man who had already flown far away did not expect Huan Yin to attack him so quickly. With a look of shock on his face, he summoned his rickety black devil to resist the giant spirit. It's just that the moment the rickety black devil came into contact with the giant spirit's mace, he was directly hit and the demonic energy was scattered, and he couldn't resist at all. Then, the giant spirit's mace penetrated the black devil's body and hit the old man firmly. The old man screamed in the air and fell straight down.
The middle-aged woman who first fled became even more shocked when she saw Huan Yin killing the old man so quickly. With a decisive expression on her face, she spurted out a mouthful of essence and blood, her speed increased instantly, and she was getting further and further away from Huan Yin and the others.
Huan Yin looked at the middle-aged woman walking away, raised his right hand and pressed it downwards, and shouted softly: "Destroy life!"
Suddenly, above the head of the middle-aged woman who was far away from Huan Yin, an illusory huge hand appeared out of thin air, instantly covering the middle-aged woman under its palm. Then, the palm suddenly pressed down on the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman didn't even have time to scream, and completely disappeared from the world.
Just now, the palm Huan Yin used to kill the middle-aged woman was the Life-Destroying Palm he had obtained before. Huan Yin has already broken through the realm of gathering strength in the past year, so he has learned some basics of this palm in private. The power of the palm just now gave Huan Yin the illusion of controlling the world. It seemed that the power of the life-destroying palm should not be underestimated.
"Fellow Daoist Helian, do you have any questions to ask her?" Huan Yin killed two people in a row and his momentum rose. He pointed at the seriously injured old woman and asked Helianzhi.
"The intention is sinister, what's the use of keeping it!" Helianzhi looked at the old woman with a stern look on his face and said.
Huan Yin nodded, pointed at the old woman casually, and a sword energy shot out from his fingertips (to prevent harmony), killing the old woman.
"Master Huan, Helianzhi asks you to help me!" Helianzhi looked at Huan Yin and bowed to him deeply, just like he had done countless times in the previous year.
