The sword light flashed and thunder roared.
In an instant, Zhao Xuhe's head was taken off by the sword light. However, before his head could land, his body suddenly exploded and turned into bones all over the ground.
"I wonder who is from the same sect that is waiting for me here?"
After the bones were shattered, a ray of Yin Qi flew out and finally transformed into Zhao Xuhe's appearance a hundred meters away. There was still some panic on his face.
However, before he could finish speaking, sword light followed suit.
Swoosh--!
In the next second, Zhao Xuhe's head shot into the sky again, but it turned into bones that filled the sky. The Yin Qi retreated another hundred meters, revealing his figure.
"I..."
Boom!
"You..."
Crack!
"That's enough!"
Dozens of sword lights filled the space. After killing Zhao Xuhe more than ten times, Zhao Xuhe finally regrouped and seized the opportunity to dodge the sword lights.
Although it was only for a short moment, it was still accurately grasped by Zhao Xuhe. Then, he raised his sleeve, and blood-red smoke and dust instantly rolled out, protecting his entire body in the center. Then, he swallowed several pills to recover from his injuries and true qi. Only then did he spare his mind and look in all directions.
"Lu Yang, it's you!"
Zhao Xuhe's eyes were like torches, and he could tell at a glance that the sword light that had killed him more than ten times was the Shenxiao Sword Control Technique, and he immediately revealed Lu Yang's identity.
However, even so, he was still shocked beyond words.
Because he had personal experience of the power of the sword light, it was not something that could be achieved in the early stage of Qi Refining. In just a few days, Lu Yang had actually reached the middle stage of Qi Refining.
"This person must have an opportunity!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuhe suppressed his anger and was pleasantly surprised: "Good, good, today is really a double blessing. I will accept this opportunity!"
Outside the maze formation, Lu Yang had a solemn expression.
"It's really troublesome..."
He thought that his attack was ruthless enough, but in the end, Zhao Xuhe still grasped a chance of survival and failed to kill him directly with a set of attacks.
He even recognized his identity.
However, at this moment, there was a maze formation that confused all directions. His real body was hiding in the dark and only used his flying sword to attack from afar. In a real fight, his side's odds of winning would be better.
At the same time, Zhao Xuhe also discovered the existence of the maze formation around him. Although it was only a superficial trap formation and could easily break it with a little time to deduce, with Lu Yang interfering beside him, and his true qi was less than 50% of his peak, he was helpless for a moment.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuhe rolled his eyes and suddenly said,
"Brother Lu, speaking of which, you and I actually don't have any hatred..."
"Go!"
Taking advantage of your illness and taking your life, Lu Yang of course would not reminisce with Zhao Xuhe and give him a chance to heal and recover. He immediately formed sword seals and continued to attack the other party.
"Tsk! If you don't give a toast the hard way!"
Zhao Xuhe's eyes were cold when he saw this, and he immediately gave up the idea of stalling for time. He turned to make a gesture and placed a gold and iron seal in the air.
This item is called the "Yuanmagnetic Gold Seal". It can absorb all the gold and iron objects in the world and is specialized in defeating flying swords. It is Zhao Xuhe's secret treasure. He is preparing to go to the battlefield of the Zhengmo War in the future to deal with the disciples of the Yushu Sword Pavilion. However, he has now taken it out in advance to suppress Lu Yang's sword light.
"Done!"
Zhao Xuhe activated the treasure seal and accurately grasped a sword light that was slashing towards him. With one seal, the sword light was instantly subdued, making it difficult for him to move.
Seeing this, Lu Yang's expression remained unchanged.
He was still at his peak, but Zhao Xuhe was at his lowest point. This tug-of-war that consumed true energy was actually powerful for him, so he did not panic at all.
"My biggest advantage now is that I hide in the dark and have a formation to cover it up. Zhao Xuhe can't find my position. In this way, even if he has any means to turn defeat into victory, as long as I don't show up, I will still be useless. As long as I continue to consume, the winner will definitely be me."
So Lu Yang made up his mind that I would not show up.
Flying sword? No more!
Anyway, you won't be able to refine my flying sword for a while, and you'll have to consume true energy to suppress it. That's exactly what I want. Let's see how long you can last!
"Rumble!"
Lu Yang stood outside the array and circulated his true qi. A stream of dense white qi floated out from the top, turning into a handprint several feet in size and slapping it into the array.
This method is nothing powerful, it is purely to suppress others.
Zhao Xuhe's face immediately darkened when he saw this, knowing that Lu Yang had seen through his plan.
"Dog thing!"
Zhao Xuhe couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was clearly in the middle stage of Qi Refining like himself, but he was so cautious. How could he turn defeat into victory?
Although he still had the strength to fight for his life, even if he killed Lu Yang, it would be difficult for him to live. How could Zhao Xuhe, who finally got the opportunity with great difficulty, be willing to do this?
Seeing that his true energy was being consumed more and more, Zhao Xuhe finally couldn't help himself and said loudly: "... Brother Lu, do you know what opportunity I have obtained in this Panlong Island? A third-grade true skill book that points directly to the great path of Jindan! If Brother Lu stops here, I am willing to share my cultivation method with you!"
"Third-level true art?"
Outside the maze formation, Lu Yang suddenly stood up when he heard this. There are thirty-sixth levels of zhenqi at the ninth level. There is no way to build the foundation for those below the seventh level, and there is no way to Golden Core for those below the third level.
But now, Zhao Xuhe has actually thrown out a method that can allow people to cultivate third-level true qi and have hope of achieving a golden core in the future!
What a big opportunity!
"No, wait..."
Lu Yang took a deep breath, suppressed his greed, and sat back in his original position: "This person promised heavy profits, but still wanted to lure me out. I fell for it when I went out."
"How about it? Brother Lu, can we reconcile?"
In the maze formation, Zhao Xuhe was still trying to persuade him, but he heard a voice suddenly coming from all directions: "Stupid, if I kill you, the cultivation method will be mine!"
"Brother Lu's words are wrong." Zhao Xuhe shook his head and said with a smile,"The so-called opportunity is determined by heaven. This third-grade true skill was cultivated by me for three generations. This was the opportunity I obtained with merit. I have no chance with you, Brother Lu. Even if you kill me, the skill will only fly away and will not be obtained by you."
"What?"
Lu Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became cloudy and uncertain. Chance is determined by heaven, and there is no chance for cultivation techniques. Even if he obtains it, he will fly away automatically?
But Lu Yang quickly reacted and sneered: "If that's the case, why should I reconcile with you for this cultivation method?"
Zhao Xuhe hurriedly explained: "Brother Lu, you were originally destined to have no luck with the cultivation method, but if I took the initiative to share it with Brother Lu, then the fate would become destiny."
“..... Good."
After a moment of silence, Lu Yang said,"You give me a copy of the cultivation method and I will let you out."
"Let's do it." Zhao Xuhe decisively agreed, and then he took out the jade box and took the initiative to open it, revealing the two volumes of Taoist books inside.
"The first volume of the 'Nine Transformation Dragon Mantra' is a Qi Refining realm cultivation method that can cultivate a 'True Dragon Fience'. Its combat strength can be regarded as outstanding in the same realm. The second volume,"Ten Thousand Vehicles and Dragon Ascension Treasure Scroll", is a Foundation Establishment realm cultivation method that can cultivate the foundation of 'Ten Thousand Vehicles and Dragon Ascension' and has the potential to achieve the Great Dao of Jindan in the future."
After Zhao Xuhe finished introducing the cultivation method, he suddenly changed the topic:
"But Brother Lu, I am injured now and my true Qi is weak. If I give you the cultivation method like this, you turn against me and break your promise?"
“.... This is simple."
Lu Yang rolled his eyes and took the initiative to suggest: "You can give me the" Thousand Vehicles Imperial Dragon Ascends Treasure Scroll "first, and you can keep the" Nine Transformation Dragon Technique "for yourself."
"I am only in the Qi Refining realm now. Even if I have a Foundation Establishment cultivation method, I can't cultivate it. You don't have to worry that I will turn against you and kill you." Speaking of this, Lu Yang's face was filled with sincerity: "After I let you out, you can give me the Nine Changes Dragon Technique. How about it?"
Zhao Xuhe thought for a moment and felt that what Lu Yang said made sense.
"It's a deal!"
Zhao Xuhe took out the "Ten Thousand Caravan Imperial Dragon Ascends Treasure Scroll" from the jade box, but Lu Yang still did not show himself, but concentrated his true qi and grabbed it with his big hand from afar.
Zhao Xuhe could only sigh secretly when he saw this, suppressed his last thoughts, and obediently handed the cultivation method to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang took the cultivation method, memorized it word for word, and then grinned.
"Goodbye!"
In the next second, Lu Yang's qi sank into his dantian, directly activated the Killing Curse, and brazenly self-destructed!
Boom!
A moment later, the smoke and dust in the sky dissipated, revealing Zhao Xuhe's confused face.
"My cultivation method... It's gone?"
Why did he self-destruct?
Forget about self-destruction, but why didn't it explode sooner and later? Just wait until you get the cultivation method before self-destruction... I didn't even have time to read that cultivation method myself!
"Lu Yang..."
Zhao Xuhe stood in the wind and looked at the "Thousand Vehicles and Dragon Ascends Treasure Scroll" that had turned to dust. He recited Lu Yang's name and his expression gradually twisted:
"What an animal!"
