Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 164 Confrontation
"It's here!"

Lu Zhong murmured, then closed his eyes.

Entering the gray fog space, backtracking the scene here, the soul power began to be consumed rapidly, and quickly located the corresponding time period, as if he was also in this place at that time, and saw the scene of that day clearly.

Supplemented by divine consciousness to interfere with reality, a lot of information can be obtained from it.

There were five shadows chasing and killing Su Xu'er that day.

Only one of them is a living person, with a mid-stage foundation establishment, covered in black smoke, and must be practicing some kind of magic power, no doubt a magic cultivator.

The rest of the black shadows are all corpse refining, and the breath they emit is equivalent to the early stage of foundation establishment, but the corpse refining in Lu Zhong's cognition is different. The "Witch Corpse" only exists on the barbarian side.

That's all.

He noticed that Moxiu was using a white bone fork at the time.

This fork is billowing with green flames, and you can tell it's not ordinary at a glance.

There was a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, so Lu Zhong did not hesitate to spend a lot of soul power to intervene and check the white bone fork with his divine sense, and finally got a result that surprised him.

The bone fork is actually a magic weapon!
The magic weapon is the same level as the spirit weapon, but it is more weird and sinister. In terms of lethality, the former is stronger than the latter.

There are a large number of records in the ancient books, the refining method of the magic weapon is harmful to the world, and behind the birth of each magic weapon, a large number of living beings have been miserably killed, so it has attracted the continuous siege and extermination of the Zongmen family. The law is gradually lost.

The above reasons lead to the fact that in the world of comprehension, magic weapons are even rarer than spiritual weapons.

Secretly raising his vigilance, Lu Zhong turned his attention to Su Xu'er.

He was very curious why Moxiu would chase and kill this woman.

Moxiu has a magic weapon in his hand, and the background is not simple. It can make this person not hesitate to expose his identity, and even break into the dangerous Jiangpuppet Forest to chase him down. It is guessed that Su Xuer got something extraordinary. Or maybe he knew the secret of this demon cultivator.

No matter what the reason is, it means that Lu Zhong has to face this demon cultivator.

If you really get what you get, you will suffer from it.

Obtained Liu Piaoniang's Jade Vein Kungfu, and used it to solve the problem of difficulty in improving her cultivation base, and gained more opportunities to form golden cores, and now she has to bear the troubles caused by it.

"Fortunately, I have practiced Palm Thunder." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong immediately felt relieved.

Recalling the direction in which Su Xuer fled, he chased after her.

……

In the depths of the puppet forest, a battle is going on.

On one side is the bronze puppet warrior with spear and armor, firmly occupying the superiority in numbers, with a bloody aura shining in the prosthetic eyes, showing a scene unknown to outsiders at this moment. The army is launching a cluster charge, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

The other side is the group of corpses that form the defense line. It is composed of corpses whose bodies are billowing with black air, whose blood-red curse civilization is indefinitely destroyed, and a large number of Zhang Xugao walking corpses in ragged clothes. Frustrating the puppet's offensive, the entire line of defense can be described as impenetrable.

Behind the line of defense, a black figure standing in the shadows was holding a white bone fork to make shots from time to time.

The green flames rolled down, and the bronze puppets were entangled in green flames, and their movements were sluggish. Their bodies would soon be stained with layers of green, and then a lot of debris would fall, destroying the internal spirit patterns in a short while. It was no longer possible to maintain the body of the puppet, and it collapsed into parts in an instant.

Seeing that there are fewer walking corpses filling the front line, this person will slap the black cloth bag on his waist and release walking corpses that are obviously made of barbarians to continue to resist the attack of the puppet group.

At this moment, the battlefield is in a mess, puppet soldiers and walking corpses are all spread out on the ground.

Lu Zhong came after him, and what he saw was such a scene.

Looking at the tracing aura in his hand, it was condensed by Su Xu'er's clothes as a psychic medium. At this moment, it pointed to a gray tower behind the puppet group. This tower was half hidden in the shadow of the night, giving people an eerie feeling, as if A demon lurking in the dark.

"Judging from the instructions of Lingguang, Su Xu'er is obviously hiding in this high tower." Lu Zhong confirmed in his heart, but he did not rush forward, but found a hidden and safe place, and analyzed it carefully.

Just looking at the performance of the demon cultivator in the distance, one can know that there is some mystery hidden in that tower, otherwise this person does not need to fight with the puppet at all, and can quietly touch the puppet group when the attention of the puppet group is attracted. go in.

Moxiu is often a master of stealth, otherwise he would not be able to survive the hunting of the Zongmen family.

Thinking of this, he chanted a spell and used the Qi Wang technique.

As the first spell learned by Lu Zhong, the Qi Wang Technique is actually not simple at all. With the continuous improvement of spell attainments and the increase in the strength of the soul brought about by the breakthrough of the realm, the role it can play is also changing. He was able to roughly observe the flow of aura, but now he can observe the aura in detail.

In the field of vision, the entire gray tower is wrapped by a dark aura net, which is bowl-shaped and upside down in a forest clearing within a radius, with seven layers of aura nodes distributed like a ring on the surface of the net.

It is impossible to detect the abnormality of these aura nodes simply by observing with the naked eye.

"This aura net looks like some kind of composite formation, but it's not a phantom formation. It seems to be specially designed to supply energy to those aura nodes. Two animal corpses fell on the edge, which belonged to Su Xuer. Judging from the injuries on the green-winged lion, most of them came from the copper spears held by those puppets, but the fatal injury was some kind of powerful slash."

After analyzing this point, Lu Zhong guessed that if someone broke in rashly, he would definitely be attacked by this kind of slash.

Then he tried it in the gray fog space, and found that as long as he got close to the aura net, he would be attacked by the light blade erupting from the aura node.

"Even Xingyang Gang can't stop it, I'm afraid it's a blow comparable to a golden pill!" Lu Zhong recalled the scene when he was killed just now, his face turned pale, but he was thinking again.

Since the light blade is so sharp, how did Su Xuer get in?
Scenario backtracking.

Lu Zhong finally knew the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Su Xuer fled here in a panic, and was taken away by a silver puppet in the tower. Then the guardian of the green-winged lion forced his way into the formation outside the tower. After beheading and killing Su Xuer, the demon cultivator who was chasing and killing Su Xuer arrived, and clashed with the puppet group in order to enter the tower.

"So, how do I get into the tower?"

Su Xu'er was taken away, I'm afraid nothing good will happen.

Lu Zhong suddenly felt a headache when he thought of this. From his observations just now, we can see that the only place where the gate of the tower is located is the place where the magic cultivator and the puppet group fought. against the Bronze Golem swarm.

He tried to decipher the big formation again, but found that the surrounding aura net was not the main body of the big formation.

If you want to crack it, you must at least get close to the inner three-layer aura node close to the tower.

"There's no other way, it seems like this is the only way..."

A bold idea flashed through his mind, and Lu Zhong turned his attention to the magic cultivator who was fighting with the puppet. The defense line composed of corpses was no longer as solid as before. Under the attack of the newly appeared puppet archer, it seemed crumbling up.

First, he walked to a distance and removed the effect of the second technique of holding breath and disappearing from his body, and then appeared in front of the demon cultivator.

Lu Zhong's appearance immediately attracted Moxiu's awareness.

Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know whether to give up the defense or continue to insist, Lu Zhong took the initiative to propose:

"How about you and I working together?"

"Joint cooperation?" A hoarse voice came from under the black veil mask.

With suspicion in his tone, Moxiu looked at Lu Zhong who suddenly appeared, and various thoughts kept popping up in his mind, guessing what he meant by saying these words, and they were all in the direction of malicious calculations.

Could this be a trap?
Is there something in it that I don't know about?

Thoughts surged past one after another, and Moxiu ruled out the wrong answers and came up with an unexpected answer.

"There is no balance between good and evil, Your Excellency is not pedantic at all, but you really want to join hands with me, a member of the evil way!"

"How about the evil way, and what about the righteous way? Since your goal and mine are both to enter the tower, why not put aside these illusory morals first, and work together to solve these puppets first." Lu Zhong walked forward slowly, and released Qingyang Jian Come out, and deliberately stimulate the aura of its spiritual weapon, in order to deter the magic cultivator on the opposite side who is constantly moving.

At this time, the other party had already turned the white bone fork, obviously guarding against him.

At this time, Lu Zhong looked at the tower in the distance, and added: "Combining will benefit both, otherwise, we may never be able to enter the tower with our strength alone."

Moxiu heard the words, turned the direction of the white bone fork, and said with a sinister smile: "Your Excellency's words are reasonable, then we will join hands to solve these puppets first, and then we will talk about it later!"

So, the two actually cooperated and started to deal with the puppets.

Although they were on guard against each other and no one was willing to show their hole cards, the puppet group still began to retreat steadily.

While casting a spell to condense the fireballs, Lu Zhong killed the puppet archers who were attacking the corpses in the distance, so as to prevent the defense line on Moxiu's side from being pierced. At the same time, he was secretly thinking about how to deal with Moxiu in the future.

After all, cooperating with Moxiu is essentially seeking skin from a tiger.

The cooperation between the two is not very reliable, and it may break down at any time.

Lu Zhong didn't believe it, the other party wasn't calculating himself, so he couldn't help being a little more careful about Moxiu.

After a stick of incense, the defeated group of puppets retreated to the front of the tower.

Seeing that there are only a dozen puppets left, they can enter the tower after killing them, but at this moment, the two of them stopped at the same time with a tacit understanding.

"Your spells are sharp, why don't you deal with these puppets?" Moxiu's voice became gloomy.

"No matter how sharp your spells are, you can't compare to Your Excellency in refining corpses. I think it's up to you to solve the problem." Lu Zhong said calmly.

After hearing this, Moxiu just snorted coldly, but didn't move.

The two stalemate like this.

Lu Zhong was not in a hurry at this time. He had just gone back through the scene and learned about the situation in the tower. Su Xuer's life was not in danger at the moment, but he was imprisoned on a stone tablet.

That being the case, it doesn't matter if you slowly consume it with this magician.

On the other side, Moxiu looked calm on the surface, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.

He doesn't know the situation in the tower.

The demon cultivator's name is Gu Nan, and the purpose of chasing down Su Xuer this time is for a rare golden-threaded ghost flower, so as to make up for the hidden dangers left by him due to practicing demon skills, and reduce the possibility of becoming mad and out of control.

Once the flower is picked, it must be preserved with Yin jade, otherwise the medicinal effect will be rapid.

The problem is that Su Xu'er didn't know this. She only used an ordinary jade box, so Gu Nan was so anxious. After all, with the passage of time, the medicinal power of the golden silk ghost flower is also rapidly disappearing. Now it has been two full days. As time passed, the medicinal properties of the spirit flower would also decrease to a critical point.

If it was later, even if he finally got the Golden Shadow Soul Flower, it would be useless.

"Your Excellency's kindness, I admire it! If that's the case, let me deal with the remaining puppets." After saying this, Gu Nan ordered his subordinates to stop defending and start attacking the only remaining puppets with a white bone fork on their heads. Starting to have green flame savings, it seems to be ready to deal with all the puppets in front of him.

Seeing this scene, a sarcasm flashed in Lu Zhong's eyes.

How could he not see what the other party was thinking?

Obviously, it was pretending to attack the puppet, and then sneak attacking itself by surprise.

Seeing the green flames of the white bone fork flourishing, he suddenly chuckled, struck out a formula and hit the ground.

Immediately, spiritual light surged on the ground, and the tower array was activated.

A light blade quickly condensed, but it didn't shoot at Lu Zhong who activated the magic circle, but Gu Nan, who was harboring evil intentions in the distance, immediately heard a scream, and the latter fell silent again.

Lu Zhong secretly smiled, thinking that his hard work was not in vain.

From the time the two teamed up, he had been following Mo Xiuxu and submissively, while secretly cracking the tower formation.

This formation was left by the ancient monks, and the way of setting up the formation is extremely old. In the eyes of today's formation mages, it is almost full of loopholes. , relying on these loopholes to make some small-scale changes is still possible.

For example, change the counterattack locking rule of the large formation to lock Yin Qi.

Originally, such a change, with Lu Zhong's current attainments in formation, it would take a very long time for the change to be successful, but who told him that he had a gray fog space to help with the simulation.

After spending a lot of time, the changes were finally completed just now.

Looking at the corpse of Moxiu who had been split in half, Lu Zhong inspected it carefully, and after making sure that the other party was too dead, he approached slowly.

He stretched out his hand to take a picture, and was about to take the white bone fork, but there was a sound of breaking the air above his head.

The sound of piercing the air was barely noticeable, if Lu Zhong hadn't been vigilant about his surroundings, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover at this moment that there was a ball of light above his head, but Gu Nuan saw that he was going to die, so he escaped his soul first.

Without thinking, Lu Zhong raised his hand and was about to send out thunder.

Although the first palm thunder is a small technique, one blow is enough to defeat the opponent's soul.

"Peach ghost freezes!" A voice came from above his head.

Lu Zhong groaned secretly and wanted to move, but unexpectedly he couldn't move his body.

After sweeping his consciousness, he realized that at some point there were a few little devil-like things under his feet, which were imprisoning him tightly. Even if he drew the calcining spirit fire out to burn himself, they couldn't burn them out instantly.

"I didn't expect you to have Yanghuo. It's a pity that these peach ghosts are not yin and evil things, but natural monsters. Yanghuo can't burn them to death instantly!" Gu Nan laughed triumphantly, and the ball of light turned straight Chong Lu Zhong knows the sea.

"Hahaha, I want this body, everything about you will belong to me!"

When the ball of light fell into the sea of ​​consciousness, it was ready to devour Lu Zhong's soul and seize the house.

Gu Nan is very confident about this, after all, his soul is inherently strong, and he can have many advantages in the battle of seizing the house.

Unexpectedly, what they saw head-on was a larger ball of light, and the difference between the two was extremely obvious.

"How is it possible, your spirit is so powerful!" Gu Nan was terrified.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he seemed to have missed one condition.

"Hmph!" Lu Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

After a while of chasing, the big ball of light devoured the small ball of light.
