Chapter 225: Mysterious Intervention

Ling Luo Dan." 。As long as the opponent is not a senior Second Rank Dan Saint, winning this match should not be a problem. 。"Hu Liyun thought to himself that he had no reason to lose to the other part...Now, the five halls of elixirs, talismans, artifacts, puppets, and martial arts have only three left: the Hall of Talismans, the Hall of Puppets, and the Hall of Martial Arts. 。Not every hall determines the outcome, nor are all halls that reach a consensus like the previous halls of alchemy and artifacts. Subsequently, more Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered nearby, bringing the total to over a hundred. 。With a thunderous roar, the Puppet Palace collapsed in ruins. The grand hall that had previously seemed so imposing was now reduced to rubble. Two figures shot out from within, one black and one white. The white figure was immediately recognizable as the masked woman Luo Qing, but her pristine white robe bore large patches of crimson bloodstains on her chest. The other man, with a hooked nose, also looked far from well. His left arm was severed at the shoulder, and his neck bore a shallow sword wound that had narrowly missed killing him. 。This eagle-nosed man, whose sect remained unknown, was surprisingly capable of going toe-to-toe with Lu Qing. Or perhaps he had teamed up with someone else to engage in a prolonged battle with Lu Qing. 。Only two came out, the other one perhaps killed by Luò Qīng in the Puppet Hall. 。However, no matter what, to be able to fight Luo Qing to this point, this man with an eagle hook nose must have absolute strength. 。Just by looking at Lu Qing's aura that burst forth at this moment, the man with the hooked nose was completely subdued. 。Lu Xiaitian thought to himself that he didn't need to make a move for now. 。And Tao Feng and Zong Sheng were still... 。"Luo Shimei, it's really great that you could come out." 。Tao Feng saw Luo Qing's face light up, and without hesitation, he drew out the Ming Feng ruler, coldly looking at the man with a hooked nose, "Are you going to die on your own, or do I have to make a move" The cold killing intent emanating from the Ming Feng ruler made the surrounding Qi Refining cultivators' breaths hitch. Although Tao Feng's cultivation was not high originally, relying on the Ming Feng ruler, he could even fight against ordinary late-stage cultivators. As long as he didn't encounter the top masters of the early stage of foundation building, self-preservation was absolutely no problem. 。It's probably too early to say this. 。A cold snort rang out, and a dozen gray figures descended from the sky. The leader was a middle-aged man with a wide face in the late stage of foundation building. He looked somewhat similar to the eagle-nosed man, and should be his elder. Behind him were three mid-stage Qi refining cultivators and dozens of early-stage cultivators. 。"Uncle Three, you've finally come, it's great!" 。Please take down these people for me. 。The man with the hooked nose was delighted to see this, his hand gripping the long sword involuntarily tightening. His heart settled. Although the other side had reinforcements, ten or so people suddenly appeared on his side, and there was even a strong reinforcement in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment period. Individually, they weren't much weaker than the other side, and their numbers were several times greater. 。Except for the late stage of foundation building, even if others are inferior in individual strength, their numerical advantage is enough to make up for it. 。For Luo Qing's acquisition of the puppet Eagle Hook Nose Man, the others' eyes lit up with envy. There were three people who entered the Puppet Hall together, one of whom had already been killed by Luo Qing. Of the three puppets, two had already fallen into Luo Qing's hands. If he could obtain them and further cultivate the puppet arts, even a cultivator at the late stage of foundation building would have to give way to him. 。Now that they have the upper hand, they naturally want to take advantage of the situation and grab all the benefits. There are so many other cultivators in the audience. If they want to grab it, they should do it early, otherwise, things will change later. 。Zhang Lan's eyes flickered as she looked at the scene before her. She had obtained a Dan Yuan artifact from the Artifact Hall, but it hadn't been refined yet. At this time, her strength hadn't increased much. 。In his eyes, besides Tao Feng who already possessed a Mingfeng Ruler, Zong Sheng's strength was roughly on par with his. 。Facing so many enemies, it's unlikely we can achieve a favorable outcome. 。Before, his alliance with Zong Sheng and Tao Feng, though temporary, was quite fragile. Once a difficult or unpredictable risk arose, this alliance would become very shaky. 。Even Zong Sheng and Tao Feng, upon seeing this situation, couldn't help but change their expressions. 。Given their shared experiences, they naturally knew Zhang Lan was absolutely unreliable at this moment. Even if it were the two of them facing each other, in a life-or-death situation, they would likely hesitate. 。At this moment, Lu Qing's eyes were also filled with a solemn expression. The eagle-hooked nose man and the other one she had killed before were both quite extraordinary, so much so that she was injured now as well. 。Lu Xia Tian sighed inwardly, this kind of situation, if he didn't take action it seemed impossible to avoid, but before the final moment, it wasn't necessarily needed to make an appearance. 。Once he had a plan, Lu Xia Tian, who was mingling in the crowd, quietly unleashed his Ice Soul Profound Sound. 。Bing Po Xuan Yin is a divine sense attack, invisible and intangible. When people hear the sound of flowing water hitting stones, they are hit. Cultivators with cultivation levels clearly lower than Lu Xiaotien have no power to resist at all. Only those like Yuan Hao, the most important disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, who possess artifacts that can defend against divine sense attacks, can be spared. 。However, the means of divine consciousness attacks were originally extremely rare, and artifacts that defend against divine consciousness attacks are even more scarce. 。

The divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, although it has made significant progress compared to a Qi Refining cultivator, is still insufficient to unleash powerful divine sense attacks. Only extremely accomplished Golden Core cultivators who have cultivated certain powerful secret arts have the possibility of mastering such terrifying means.

Clearly, among the many foundation-building cultivators brought by the middle-aged man with a wide face called San Shu by the eagle hook nosed men, a dozen or so early-stage foundation-building fellow disciples did not possess such defensive artifacts against divine sense attacks. 。"Trivial tricks!" The broad-faced middle-aged cultivator let out a cold snort. This paltry psychic attack had no effect on him whatsoever, he didn't even need to defend against it. 。A strange wave rippled through the air around them. A massive amount of wind blades surged in all directions, though countless in number, their strength was such that even a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage could withstand them, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator. 。This rudimentary wind blade formed by this beginner spell cannot break through the defensive spirit shield of a Qi Condensation cultivator. 。“Oh no!” was what the broadly-faced middle-aged man originally thought, but the course of events completely took him by surprise. 。Several initial cultivators under his command were stunned, not noticing the approaching wind blades at all. 。His performance was even worse than that of a cultivator at the initial stage of Qi refining. 。The broad-faced middle-aged man hurriedly swung out several ice walls, deflecting most of the wind blades outside the ice walls. 。A multitude of wind blades slashed against the ice wall, leaving behind only faint white marks and failing to shake it in the slightest. 。

Lu Xia Tian had already anticipated this situation when he made his move, so he unleashed a large number of wind blades. With the initial-level talisman formed within him, and supported by his powerful mana, he could now cast this low-level spell instantaneously.

Perhaps if he cultivated a mid-grade talisman, he would be able to sweep across most Qi Refining cultivators. 。However, when I initially chose to cultivate magic arts, I was forced into the mine by Qian Dali. I had no other choice. 。Through repeated practice day after day, year after year, utilizing spirit stones from various veins within the mine, I finally condensed a preliminary Dharma Seal. 。If one cultivates the Dharma Seal to the intermediate level 。The consumed spirit stones, even now he couldn't bear it. After all, the refining of various elixirs using ripened spirit herbs for combat and cultivation advancement required a massive amount of spirit stones, enough to make him drink a whole pot. 。Where does he have so much wealth to elevate his Dharma Seal to the middle stage 。And since he already possessed a Dantian artifact and was skilled in alchemy, with more options available to him, he didn't need to spend a significant amount of time, energy, and resources on the path of cultivation. He understood that trying to do too much at once would lead to poor results. 。

Even though such a basic wind blade appearing in this situation is obviously out of place, every technique has its use.

This seemingly insignificant wind blade, in Lu Xia Tian's hands, becomes as if conjured from the heavens. 。If it were a powerful technique, the broad-faced middle-aged cultivator Tu Fang would have been utterly unable to ignore it. He missed the best opportunity as a result, and now, acting hastily, it was already too late. 。The remaining three foundation-building mid-stage cultivators, although they were not greatly affected, chose self-preservation as their first priority instead of rescuing their low-ranking fellow cultivators. Their reactions were similar to those of the broad-faced middle-aged cultivator, Tu Fang. 。Even Lian Tu Fang can't fully rescue the situation, let alone a few of them. 。...Several wind blades flashed past the necks of several early stage cultivators. 。Once again, several wind blades sliced across the waist or head of the early-stage cultivator. 。Tu Fang used his ice power to save three nascent cultivators, but the other twelve were caught off guard. Nine perished, and three suffered varying degrees of injury, rendering them temporarily unable to fight. 。With a single strike, nine nascent cultivators were instantly killed. Such might left the over one hundred foundation-building early stage cultivators present stunned speechless. 。The attack method was extremely simple, which made it even more bizarre. With so many people present, there were undoubtedly masters and experts, yet none of them could tell who had made the move. 。Tu Fang cast a glance in Lu Xiaotian's direction. Lu Xiaotian was hidden among the crowd, blending in seamlessly and not drawing any attention to himself. 。To be able to instantly kill or injure twelve people in a split second, all of whom were cultivators at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and there were even strong cultivators from the later stages present, yet none of them could claim to possess such elusive and unpredictable skills. 。The fact that he couldn't even be discovered made him even more terrifying. 。Tu Fang, a man with a hooked nose and forehead slick with cold sweat, although their numbers still held an advantage, in a real fight they might not be able to easily defeat Luo Qing and his companions. 。Not to mention that the other party also has a mysterious helper hidden around, who could strike at any time. 。After a flash of fear crossed Zhang Lan's face, she didn't hesitate any longer. She chose to stand with Zong Sheng, Tao Feng and the others, glaring at Tu Fang and his group. 。It seemed that as soon as the mysterious person who had just made a move appeared, they immediately attacked these people mercilessly. 。Meanwhile, Zhang Lan's eyes never left Zong Sheng and Tao Feng. Judging from their expressions of astonishment, it seemed that even they didn't know who had made the move. 。As for Luo Qing, there seemed to be surprise in her eyes, along with a hint of hesitation. She didn't seem too sure herself. 。It's unbelievable, but having reinforcements on hand is always a certainty. 。With this person's capabilities, even an ordinary late-stage cultivator would be no match for them. As long as Tu Fang, who just spoke, was stopped from making a move, then this seemingly dangerous fight would not escalate further. 。"Let's go!" After a moment of shifting expression, Tu Fang leaped into the air, leaving with the eagle-nosed man without stopping. They disappeared into the distance, as everything they had seen was too strange. 。First, he witnessed the young man with the fire-serpent bow easily killing a Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator, single-handedly facing everyone without any fear. 。Immediately following that, I encountered another opponent who was both bizarre and incredibly powerful. 。Even though he usually thought highly of himself, staying here made him feel completely powerless. 。Lu Xia Tian coldly watched these people leave. Although he was interested in what kind of puppets were in the Puppet Hall, after all, the centipede puppet had no effect on him, as he himself already knew puppetry... 。Some of the treasures from the Huanyuan Dao Zang are quite extraordinary, and many are even lost arts of the cultivation world. 。If he could obtain a powerful puppet, his strength would undoubtedly rise even further. 。Of course, compared to the things in the Hall of Kung Fu, Lu Xia Tian didn't want to cause trouble because of a puppet. 。Maybe after obtaining the Mixin Jing, he would not be so polite if he encountered this group again. 。After Tu Fang and the group of men with hooked noses left, the atmosphere around felt strangely eerie. 。In contrast, only Lu Qing and Tao Feng, Zong Sheng, and Zhang Lan appeared composed, at least on the surface. 。

An hour later, the Lingfu Hall collapsed. Qingdan Palace's foundation-building late-stage cultivator, and also Lu Xiaoteng's old acquaintance, Wen Pu, was at this time spitting blood and flying backwards, falling to the ground when he had already died.

and immediately following him was Duan Huitian, a cultivator from the Southern Wilderness who had also clashed with Lu Xiaoteng. 。At this point, the attire of returning to heaven had transformed into a cold black robe worn by a middle-aged man, replacing the original conspicuous outfit of a Southern Wilderness cultivator. 。

Just because he looks this way can fool others, how could it possibly influence Lü Xia Tian's judgment

Only these two came rushing out from the Spirit Talisman Hall, it seems the other person must have also perished. This segment of returning to heaven could actually kill Wen Fu, his strength should have improved as well. 。However, he originally had a strange black mirror on his body. Wen Fu's methods were also ordinary. It was not surprising that he died at the hands of Duan Huitian. 。"Wen…" Among the many Foundation Establishment cultivators, a young man seemed unable to hold back and almost blurted out his words, but seeing Duan Huitian's sharp gaze, he swallowed his words hard. 。At this time, Qingdan Palace was here alone without any other powerful cultivators. If this extremely capable black-robed man knew that he was a fellow disciple of Wen Fu, I'm afraid he would soon suffer a devastating disaster. 。After Duan Huitian killed Wen Fu, he didn't intend to leave. Four of the five halls had already been decided, leaving only the last Gongfa Hall. All the cultivators present looked rather disappointed, after all, being able to cultivate to the Qi Refining period, they chose their own suitable exercises in the sect when they first established their foundation. 。To want to start over is unrealistic. 。Moreover, even if a cultivation technique is powerful and allows for faster progress and better combat skills, ultimately, the strength of a cultivator depends on their own cultivation level, the power of their magical artifacts, and their innate talent. 。It's not that after decades of cultivating a peerless ancient technique, one could easily sweep across cultivators of the same rank. 。In fact, there aren't enough Spirit Stones or elixirs to support it. With a mediocre aptitude and if the attributes don't match, even the best cultivation techniques obtained will only be worth selling for some Spirit Stones. 。Before it's sold, it's just as good as trash. 。en zhang in height, with bodies emanating mist, nimble six-armed white apes gracefully climbed between the clouds, mist, and mountains towards Xiaotian and his companions. One of them even carried hal...
