Chapter 134: Crazy pulling, trying to refine corpses
In an instant, Cheng Yaolong fell into an illusion.
Because the scenes in the illusion are almost seamlessly connected with reality, it is difficult to distinguish them.
Cheng Yaolong was not good at the spiritual world, and did not realize that he was trapped in an illusion.
If his cultivation was much higher than Ji Chang, or if time had passed, he might be able to see that something was wrong.
But now Cheng Yaolong is full of confidence. His Cheng family was founded on the art of talismans. This time he brought a lot of second-level talismans with him, and his combat power is truly extraordinary.
Not to mention Ji Chang, even if it was Hu Rending, the ancestor of the Hu family who was in the late foundation building stage, if he wanted to take him down, he would have to use up all his talismans first.
In his opinion, what power could Ji Chang, a mere man, have to rival him?
So, Cheng Yaolong rushed towards Ji Chang with full confidence, the talisman in his hand flashing with spiritual light.
However, it is a pity that Ji Chang in front of him has turned into an illusory scene in the dreamland.
The two men fought quickly, and Cheng Yaolong found that he was able to suppress Ji Chang, and quite easily. Ji Chang was much weaker than he had imagined.
He was ecstatic, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, and his attack became more fierce.
"For a second-level alchemist, this is really a big win."
"No, isn't it a pity to kill him? The best option is to enslave him and tame him into a tool for alchemy."
Cheng Yaolong thought smugly as he attacked.
As the battle progressed, Cheng Yaolong became more and more courageous. The talismans in his hands kept flying out and transformed into various powerful spells, forcing "Ji Chang" to retreat step by step.
Finally, in a fierce confrontation, he saw an opportunity. A talisman turned into a sword light. In the flash of light, "Ji Chang" was seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Cheng Yaolong was overjoyed. He walked to Ji Chang and looked down at "Ji Chang" who was lying weakly on the ground.
The joy in his heart made him ignore the vague uneasiness in his heart and the blurry scene around him.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a severe dizziness, his mind was in a state of confusion, and the world was upside down.
In an instant, the illusion began to collapse and the surrounding scenes quickly dissipated.
He was horrified to find that he had been immersed in an illusion, and Ji Chang in reality was looking at him coldly.
A horrifying cut appeared on his chest at some point.
He saw a familiar figure rushing towards here in the not-too-distant sky.
However, Cheng Yaolong's vision became increasingly blurred, and his spiritual consciousness became difficult to mobilize. A feeling of fatigue slowly surged into his heart, and he fell into an eternal sleep.
His eyes widened, his heart filled with endless regret and fear.
Ji Chang looked at Cheng Yaolong's body coldly, with mockery and pity in his eyes.
But there was no pause in his actions, and he quickly collected Cheng Yaolong's body and the storage magic weapon.
In order to keep Cheng Yaolong's body intact, Ji Chang did not directly use the Five Fire Fan to burn him to death after he fell into the illusion.
Therefore, Cheng Yaolong wasted a lot of second-level talismans, which made Ji Chang feel a little distressed.
After all, these things are now his property.
In Ji Chang's opinion, Cheng Yaolong, the prodigal son, was squandering all his property.
After dealing with Cheng Yaolong's funeral, Ji Chang did not stop at all. He turned into a streak of light and quickly fled into the distance, continuing to play the cat-and-mouse game with Zixuan Sanren who had arrived.
In just a dozen breaths, Zixuan Sanren arrived at the scene.
As early as when Ji Chang killed Cheng Yaolong, he had already observed it through his spiritual sense.
This made Zixuan Sanren feel shocked. He couldn't imagine that Ji Chang could kill Cheng Yaolong so cleanly.
You know, even if he wanted to take down Cheng Yaolong himself, even with the help of the formation, it would definitely not be as easy as Ji Chang.
"Soul Dao Method!"
With Zixuan Sanren's vision, he was able to detect Ji Chang's methods just by watching the fight between Ji Chang and Cheng Yaolong.
"I didn't expect this person to be so good at soul arts."
Zixuan Sanren was slightly startled.
"What a pity! Fellow Daoist Cheng had a talisman on him that could protect him from such attacks, but he failed to detect it and didn't even activate it, so he lost his life in vain."
Zixuan Sanren sighed, feeling a little sad.
Zixuan Sanren and Cheng Yaolong have known each other for many years. Although they are not as close as brothers, they have a certain friendship.
Seeing his old friend die at this moment, he couldn't help but feel sad and regretful.
However, Zixuan Sanren did not have much time to commemorate Cheng Yaolong.
He took a deep breath, mobilized the magic power in his body, and started to get serious.
The next moment, a talisman flashing with spiritual light appeared in Zixuan Sanren's hand.
This second-level talisman can greatly increase his escape speed.
Now that he and the Cheng family have common interests and are fighting together against the Hu family, the Cheng family cultivators naturally gave him some second-level talismans.
It's just that Zixuan was born as a casual cultivator. Although he has good luck, he is inevitably stingy when he makes a move and is not as efficient as the cultivators from the family.
Because Cheng Yaolong was lying in ambush in secret before, Zixuan Sanren did not use the talisman immediately.
But now that Cheng Yaolong is dead, if he cannot capture Ji Chang, he will be in trouble when the Cheng family holds him accountable.
Even this already fragile alliance will fall apart because of this.
Zixuan Sanren's mind moved, and the talisman was instantly activated, turning into a stream of light and merging into his body.
As the power of the talisman took effect, Zixuan Sanren felt his speed suddenly increase.
He turned into a long rainbow and chased in the direction of Ji Chang's escape at an extremely fast speed.
Ji Chang noticed that the distance between him and Zixuan Sanren was getting closer and closer, and he was shocked.
Although he had mastered the second-level escape technique, the Poisonous Mist Escape, his escape speed was much faster than that of an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
However, with the blessing of the talisman, Zixuan Sanren's escape speed is much faster than his own.
It is not easy to escape from his hands.
However, at this moment, he was quite far away from the place where Zixuan Sanren was ambushing him. There was no way he could set up any formation here to ambush him.
Without the advantage of geographical location, Zixuan Sanren, the formation practitioner, would have fewer means.
In addition, Ji Chang had a large number of second-level talismans given to him by Cheng Yaolong, the boy who brought him wealth.
Even if the Phantom Scale Gu is exposed, there is still hope of defeating Zixuan Sanren.
Thinking of this, Ji Chang urged his spiritual sense to quickly refine Cheng Yaolong's storage magic weapon, and selected some offensive talismans from it.
Talismans are different from magical instruments. They do not need to be refined and can be activated directly.
Even low-level cultivators can, through certain means, mobilize some of the power of high-level talismans.
However, his cultivation is not high enough, and if the talisman he activates is an offensive talisman, it is easy to hurt himself.
At the same time, Ji Chang slowed down his escape speed, activated the Phantom Poisonous Mist, and created a large area of purple poisonous mist around him, forming a battlefield environment favorable to him, and took the initiative to fight.
Zixuan Sanren sneered when he saw this.
"Little tricks."
"The wind is coming."
The next moment, a green talisman was activated, and a hurricane emerged from the ground, blowing towards the poisonous fog created by Ji Chang.
The poisonous fog created by Ji Chang seemed so fragile in front of this hurricane that it was disintegrated in an instant.
Ji Chang saw this, but he was not panicked. He raised his hand and cast out two second-level talismans.
A lightning snake and a water dragon appeared out of nowhere, roaring and pouncing towards Zixuan Sanren.
The lightning snake swam in the air, making crackling sounds of thunder and lightning, while the water dragon rolled its huge body, causing waves.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, attacked Zixuan Sanren from both sides.
If they were to compete in talismans, how could Zixuan Sanren, an outsider, compare to the reserves of Cheng Yaolong, a cultivator from the Cheng family.
Thanks to Cheng Yaolong's gift, Ji Chang can now experience the happiness of being a family cultivator. When Zixuan Sanren saw this, he cursed in his heart.
Naturally, he could guess the origin of the talismans on Ji Chang's body.
Because he knew this, he became even angrier.
But the situation was urgent at the moment and he had no time to care about anything else. He could only activate the talismans for defense while quickly taking out the formation flags to set up the formation.
Seeing Zixuan Sanren starting to set up the formation, Ji Chang just chuckled, turned around and ran away.
Ji Chang knew clearly that he was the one who was running away, not the one who was being chased.
Therefore, when he saw Zixuan Sanren trying to set up a formation, how could he just stand there and not move, but he would not intervene either.
Instead, he chose to run away directly.
"If I run away, what's the point of you setting up the formation?"
As Ji Chang was thinking this in his heart, his figure turned into a ray of light and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Zixuan Sanren watched Ji Chang transform into a streak of light and disappear into the distance, anger and helplessness intertwined in his heart.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
At this moment, he must first deal with the lightning snake and water dragon in front of him before he can continue to chase Ji Chang.
He hurriedly activated the talisman, quickly dealt with the lightning snake and the water dragon, and immediately turned into a beam of light and chased in the direction of Ji Chang's escape.
One of them was fleeing and the other was chasing. They would occasionally stop to fight for a moment, and then continue the chase.
In a blink of an eye, three or four days had passed and neither side had a moment's rest.
As a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, Zixuan Sanren is much stronger than Ji Chang in terms of mana reserves and recovery ability.
But as a second-level alchemist, Ji Chang has a lot of recovery pills in his hands, and even has an advantage in mana recovery.
Although Zixuan Sanren was very powerful, he felt a little overwhelmed when faced with Ji Chang's strange escape method and the endless supply of talismans and pills.
But with Ji Chang's deliberate pulling and the secret activation of the Phantom Scale Gu, Zixuan Sanren not only did not give up, but continued to chase Ji Chang firmly.
On this day, Ji Chang was caught up by Zixuan Sanren again.
Ji Chang was not surprised but happy.
"The soul talismans in this old guy's hand have finally been used up."
These days, Zixuan Sanren has a talisman that can defend against soul-path methods. Ji Chang relies on the Illusion Scale Gu to only influence his thoughts so that he does not give up chasing him.
But it cannot directly pull him into the illusion.
Therefore, after Ji Chang realized that the opponent's spiritual defense was not as impenetrable as before, he directly activated the Illusion Scale Gu and pulled him into the illusion.
After many days of pursuit, Zixuan Sanren was already exhausted and had the idea of retreating.
If Ji Chang had not relied on the influence of the Illusion Scale Gu, he would have given up hunting Ji Chang long ago.
At this time, Ji Chang used all his strength to activate the Phantom Scale Gu, and Zixuan Sanren was immediately hit without even noticing it.
The scene in the illusion was exactly the same as the reality. Zixuan Sanren used his few talismans to attack Ji Chang as usual.
But gradually, Zixuan Sanren began to feel something was wrong, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"This...is this an illusion?" He thought of something and spoke with difficulty, but it was too late.
Zixuan Sanren only felt a pain in his chest, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The illusion began to collapse and dissipate, and Zixuan Sanren's life had come to an end.
His body fell weakly and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
As he lay dying, all his life experiences came flooding back to him like a passing parade.
The hardships of being a casual cultivator when young, the excitement of receiving the inheritance from a senior who had established his foundation, the joy of discovering a hidden spiritual vein by chance, the high spirits of making rapid progress and breaking through the foundation, the greed when discovering the remains of a fake Dan cultivator's cave after the storm...
Finally, the picture stopped on a blue-robed monk.
"I am Zixuan Sanren from Feiyun Mountain. May I ask your name and where you are from?"
"My name is Han Lin, from Taizhou."
The blue-robed monk with a gentle face in the memory gradually overlapped with the blue-robed monk in front of him with a cold face.
Finally, it became blurry again.
Zixuan Sanren opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't say anything.
Finally, his soul became silent and fell into endless darkness.
Ji Chang was standing not far away. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This whole chase was quite stressful for Ji Chang.
These days, Ji Chang took a large amount of second-level pills to restore his mana. Not only did he consume a lot of pills, but as he took a large amount of pills, his mana also became a little mottled under the influence of the pill poison.
If it continues for some time, it will take several months of hard work just to clear the poison from the body.
However, killing Zixuan Sanren here was also a great gain for Ji Chang.
Ji Chang couldn't help but look at the body of Zixuan Sanren in front of him.
This time, he not only obtained the wealth of a second-level formation master, but also the corpse of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
Moreover, under his special care, Zixuan Sanren's body was preserved intact and could be refined into a refined corpse.
“It’s really a big harvest.”
Ji Chang's face was full of joy.
But just as Ji Chang was about to put away the spoils, his expression suddenly changed and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
The next moment, more than a dozen fireballs came towards Ji Chang.
Ji Chang's spiritual sense shook, and these fireballs dissipated instantly.
At the same time, behind a rock not far away, the soul of a handsome young monk was instantly suppressed and he fell silent.
"A mere Qi-refining cultivator dares to come and pick peaches?"
Ji Chang raised his hand and collected Zixuan Sanren's body and storage magic tools.
Then he walked to the body of the Qi-refining monk.
This person's hiding skills were somewhat extraordinary, and since he was concentrating on dealing with Zixuan Sanren just now, he did not immediately notice his whereabouts.
If he concentrated on hiding, I would not kill him even if I found him.
But he was too greedy and actually wanted to take advantage of this foundation-building cultivator.
You really don't know how to write the word death?
Ji Chang raised his hand and summoned his storage bag.
"Huh? You actually applied poison?"
Ji Chang practiced the "Five Poisons Fragments", a dual-school martial art of soul and poison. He was also a second-rank alchemist, and his foundation in poison was extraordinary.
Therefore, with just one glance, one could tell the method on the storage bag.
The poison on the storage bag is quite good. If a Qi-refining cultivator is struck by it, there is almost no chance of survival.
But for a foundation-building cultivator like him, who is also proficient in poison, it is basically the same as not poisoning.
Ji Chang searched in his storage bag, took out a yellow book, opened it and glanced through it.
"It's actually a second-level concealment spell."
"interesting."
After putting away the storage bag and burning the man's body, Ji Chang turned into a beam of light and headed towards Baishuixian City.
