Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 672: Repelling the Strong Enemy
Outside the Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate, a huge group of spirit boats came sailing in from the sky.

The auras of several powerful men surged into the sky, disrupting the clouds in the entire sky.

coming!

Everyone in the entire Lingyun Sect felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that the storm they had been waiting for for many days had finally arrived.

"Ow!"

In a corner of the mountain gate, the glutton that was originally sleeping soundly slowly woke up. There was a fierce light in its tiger eyes, and it looked up at the sky outside the mountain gate with an unfriendly expression.

Above the sacred peak where Master Fu Xuan was, ancient talismans formed a circle and quickly flew out.

On Bingyun Peak, a blue ice lotus was in full bloom, and Shen Ningbing rose into the air on top of the ice lotus.

Purple air rose from Ziyun Peak where Patriarch Ziqing was.

An extremely solid Taotie from Tunyun Peak walked across the sky. Wu Chong took his position at the fastest speed, guarding a key point in the sect's formation.

Even Su Xin left the cave at this time and prepared to fight with all her strength.

All the supreme elders of Lingyun Sect were fully prepared at this moment. Even if the one coming today was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, they were willing to fight with all their might.

Five supreme elders in the Jindan stage took their positions at the five centers of the Tianyuan Zhuling Formation. In an instant, this fourth-order formation was fully activated.

boom!
Rich spiritual light from the formation rippled out, the entire world was blocked off, and even the spiritual energy dissipating in the air became stagnant.

At this time, outside the mountain gate, on the Xiaoyao Sect’s spirit boat.

"Hiss, this formation is actually a fourth-order formation?"

"How is it possible? This Lingyun Sect was only founded a few years ago, how could it have such a strong foundation?!"

"It is indeed a genuine fourth-order formation. This formation and the surrounding heaven and earth are integrated into one. It is definitely a fourth-order formation."

The few remaining Jindan Zhenren of Xiaoyao Sect were all stunned at this moment. They did not expect that they would encounter a fourth-order formation today. This was beyond their expectations.

Master Chang Jue's expression suddenly turned gloomy. This was his dereliction of duty. Before, he was only concerned with finding out the truth about the Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect in Qingling Region, but he ignored these things.

In fact, it is not his fault. Nowadays, there are few formation masters capable of setting up a fourth-level formation in the entire world of immortal cultivation. Even in the Great Wilderness, such a person may not have appeared for many years.

Therefore, he and several other supreme elders took it for granted that Lingyun Sect's protective formation was at most a third-level formation.

Now the variables have finally appeared!

"A fourth-level formation. Could it be that there is another fourth-level formation master in the Lingyun Sect who has reached the Nascent Soul stage?" someone whispered, with a look of great fear on his face.

But now that we are here, there is no reason to retreat.

On the leading spirit boat, the silver-haired Xiaoyao Laojun walked out slowly and immediately calmed the minds of all the disciples in the sect.

"A fourth-order formation? That's somewhat beyond my expectations." Lord Xiaoyao muttered to himself, and then took a step forward.

The next moment, his slightly hunched back appeared right above the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate. It turned out that he had the magical power to shrink the distance into an inch. With one step, the world seemed within reach!

"Humph, today I will test whether this fourth-order formation you have set up is worthy of its name!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyao Laojun's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.

"Jade Extreme Heavenly Eyes!"

Then, the clouds above the sky suddenly dispersed, and a pair of huge eyes suddenly emerged, staring straight at the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate that was guarded by the formation.

This scene was so oppressive that all the disciples who saw it could not help swallowing their saliva, their hearts trembling wildly.

so horrible!

Is this the magical power of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage? He actually has such an exaggerated vision, it looks like the sky has opened its eyes.

At this moment, a tall figure stepped up into the sky. Li Qing faced the pair of huge eyes that were staring at the entire sect, and said in a low voice without changing his expression:

"Set up the formation, gather the spirits!"

hum!
Soon, the supreme elders who were stationed at the five core positions of the formation all activated the Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation.

I saw a layer of clear formation light emerging, and in an instant it protected the entire Lingyun Sect's mountain gate.

In the sky, the hunchbacked old man slowly closed his eyes, and the pair of huge pupils in the sky also closed.

Boom boom boom!
As his eyes closed, the space suddenly shook and a terrifying aura surged out.

This attack was too strange. Suddenly, the Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation suffered a fierce attack.

If the protective spiritual curtain had not been gathered in advance, perhaps the formation would not have been damaged, but the disciples with lower cultivation levels in the mountain gate would definitely have been injured by the shock.

But even so, the expressions of the five supreme elders in the center of the formation were extremely solemn.

"Is this the attack of the Nascent Soul stage? That's a fourth-order formation. If it were a third-order formation, there would probably be a flaw." Wu Chong's face looked extremely ugly.

The other four remained silent, concentrating on maintaining the operation of the formation and waiting for Li Qing's orders.

Xiaoyao Laojun also stopped his hand temporarily. He looked at the tall figure in the formation and said coldly:
"Are you the Wuji Zhenren who killed several Jindan elders in my sect?"

"If you voluntarily leave the formation and surrender today, and pay for the lives of several of our sect's great elders, I will not make things difficult for the others."

"You may also consider handing this man over. I can use the Tao as a guarantee and swear to the inner demon."

The last sentence was naturally said to Wu Chong and others. Now that the five of them were in charge of the Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation together, as long as they were willing, they could indeed send Li Qing out of the formation.

But obviously, no one had such an idea. The other four people continued to maintain the formation with calm expressions. Only Wu Chong burst into a curse:
"You old thief, you must be getting old and confused. You haven't washed your mouth for hundreds of years, right? Why do you say such nonsense?"

"We want you to hand over Li Qing? I think it would be more practical for you to commit suicide first!"

Wu Chong shouted loudly with the help of the formation, and his voice traveled to a very long distance. Not only the disciples of Lingyun Sect, but even the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect could hear it clearly.

Hearing the curses of a street thug, not only the elders and disciples of Lingyun Sect, but even the other several supreme elders looked strange.

And Lord Xiaoyao in the sky naturally heard it clearly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Having lived to such an old age and even cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he was insulted like this.

"Hahaha, that's right, Brother Xiaoyao, I think it's better for you to commit suicide. You're already old and still saying such things. I'm afraid you're going backwards as you get older."

Li Qing also responded with a chuckle, his expression and attitude seemed very relaxed, without any sense of urgency in facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"good very good!"

"After I break the formation, I will make you regret what you just said!"

Lord Xiaoyao's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out. After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth, and a pitch-black hill came out of his mouth.

boom!
"Xiaoyao Peak, suppress!"

The mountain had just appeared, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was blocked by the fourth-order formation around it suddenly began to loosen.

Li Qing's expression changed slightly, knowing that this seemingly ordinary black hill was definitely not that simple.

This is the magical weapon refined by Xiaoyao Laojun. It is not a sword or spear, nor is it a bell, tripod, pagoda or furnace. Its shape is actually a natural mountain.

As soon as the hill appeared, it expanded rapidly, as if it was going to crush the heaven and earth.

"Tian Yuan, kill the soul!"

Li Qing roared, this time he did not choose to defend, but chose to counterattack!
The five Jindan elders who were at the center of the formation all moved, using all their strength to activate this fourth-order formation.

Rich formation spiritual light gathered, and every node and every flag of the formation began to radiate powerful energy.

The next moment, a pillar of blazing white light like a sharp sword shot up into the sky and shot directly towards the Xiaoyao Peak that was suppressing it.

Boom!

The light between heaven and earth seemed to be extinguished, and waves began to roll up on the coast not far away. Except for the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect, the land within a radius of thousands of feet collapsed at a trend visible to the naked eye.

This attack still did not work. The Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation displayed the magic of a fourth-order formation. A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage even used his own life-saving magic weapon, but still managed to resist!

There was even no damage to the formation, and the foundation was still quite solid.

Lord Xiaoyao's face became gloomier again, and he could no longer maintain such a detached attitude.

He realized that he might not be able to do anything to the Lingyun Sect today. As long as they stayed in this fourth-order formation and didn't come out, he seemed to have no way to deal with them.

Immediately, he shot out several condensed strands of true energy in succession and continued to inject them into his own natal magic weapon.

The dark stone mountain trembled several times, constantly bombarding the Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation. But it never worked. This fourth-order formation was extremely solid, and at most it only produced a few twisted ripples.

"Why don't you follow me, the ancestor, to break the formation together!" Lord Xiaoyao growled and called upon the remaining few Jindan Zhenren in the sect to join him and launch an attack on the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.

Of course, these people didn't dare to get as close as their ancestor.

Because this fourth-level formation cannot just passively take a beating. Once they dare to enter the attack range, Li Qing will definitely launch a fierce offensive to kill them without hesitation.

In an instant, a violent storm of attacks came down.

Except for True Man Chang Jue, the other Jindan stage cultivators all used their own natal magic weapons and attacked.

In addition, some people used talismans, and even used many third-level forbidden-breaking talismans in succession.

If it was an ordinary third-level formation, it would have been shattered under such a frenzied attack.

But the Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation is still intact, which can only be said to be worthy of the work of Taoist Master Bailing.

However, the pressure on the five supreme elders of Lingyun Sect who were maintaining the formation suddenly increased a lot. They gritted their teeth and held on, not daring to relax at all.

Xiaoyao Laojun, whose face looked extremely ugly, finally couldn't help it. He didn't know when two old talisman papers appeared in his hand.

Master Fu Xuan below saw this scene and recognized it immediately.

"Those are the Earth Spirit Talisman and the Wind Extinguishing Talisman, two fourth-order, lower-grade talismans! Be careful!"

Li Qing's heart tightened slightly. He didn't expect the other party to be so generous as to even take out a fourth-level talisman.

This is a talisman that even Master Fu Xuan cannot draw. It is extremely valuable. The value of each fourth-level talisman is probably measured in tens of thousands of spirit stones.

A hint of pain flashed across Xiaoyao Laojun's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness and decisiveness.

Obviously, even he didn't have many of these two precious fourth-level talismans in stock. As one was used, one was gone. There was basically no way to replenish them.

"Don't worry, my Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation won't be destroyed by two fourth-level talismans. If it were really that fragile, there would be no formation masters in the world, and they would all be drawing talismans instead."

The timely voice of Bailing Daojun made Li Qing feel much more at ease.

Yes, no matter how powerful a fourth-level talisman is, it is at most equivalent to a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Unless it is a talisman that is specifically designed to break the ban on formations, and it has to be a fourth-level talisman, otherwise it would be too difficult to shake a formation of the same level.

Of course, Li Qing was not going to just stand there and watch. Since the other party dared to attack so blatantly, he would naturally make the other party pay some price!

As the two fourth-order talismans outside the formation were activated, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth instantly boiled, the earth trembled and cracked, and strong winds swept and howled, like a scene of doomsday.

In this chaotic scene, Li Qing took out an ancient wooden bow!

Nine Lives Bow!
This was the trophy obtained from killing Wen Xia, the ancestor of Shangqing Sect. Later, this bow fell into Wu Chong's hands.

This wooden bow is plain and simple, but Li Qing knows that it is an ancient treasure. Perhaps it is a magical weapon that was carefully nurtured and refined by a Yuanying stage cultivator in ancient times.

Picking up the Nine Lives Bow, the pure true energy in Li Qing's body flowed out.

Without hesitation, he pulled the bow to its full extent. The bowstring was stretched extremely tight. A faint light began to gather on the Nine Lives Bow, and finally formed an arrow of spiritual light.

When Li Qing used the bow, he did not aim at Xiaoyao Laojun who was in the Nascent Soul stage, but instead aimed it at a supreme elder of the Xiaoyao Sect who was quite far away from the formation.

As soon as that person was locked by Li Qing, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and felt a bone-chilling breath of death!

"not good!"

Zheng~!

Li Qing loosened his hand, and the bowstring began to tremble violently. The arrow that left the string seemed to pierce through the air, ignoring the distance in space, and directly shot through the chest of the Jindan Zhenren who was trying to dodge!
Swish!
A handful of bright red blood splashed out in the air, like a bright red flower blooming.

"Ah? Junior Brother Zhao Zhen!" Chang Jue's face changed drastically and he immediately went to rescue him, trying to slow down the rapid loss of his life.

However, the next moment, Li Qing drew the bow again and condensed a spiritual arrow with his true energy.

The Nine Lives Bow, the name of this bow naturally means that once you are locked on, even nine lives will not be enough to kill you.

Soon, Master Chang Jue also sensed the arrival of the breath of death.

"How dare you, you beast!" Xiaoyao Laojun roared. How could he watch Li Qing draw his bow and shoot arrow after arrow to death the supreme elder of his sect!
The arrow of spiritual light had just been shot out, but its trajectory was captured by Xiaoyao Laojun. He directly condensed his spiritual power and grabbed it into the void.

boom!
The spiritual arrow shot by Li Qing with the Nine Lives Bow was directly crushed into pieces.

At this point, both sides stopped fighting temporarily.

Seeing this, Li Qing knew that he had secured an opportunity to negotiate, so he said coldly:

"Fellow Daoists from Xiaoyao Sect, please go back to where you came from. You are not welcome in Lingyun Sect."

"Of course, if you still want to fight to the death with my Lingyun Sect, then I have to remind you that as long as there is any gap in my sect's formation, hundreds of spiritual messages will be sent to the Great Wilderness Region."

"I am not a talented person. I also lived in the Great Wilderness in my early years and raised a group of my own people there."

"Although there are not many people, it is enough to pass on the news of you in Qingling Territory to the several demon sects in Dahuang Territory."

"I think those demonic sects should be very interested in the news about Xiaoyao Sect!"

Hearing this, Xiaoyao Laojun finally had to stop. He looked at Li Qing with a cold gaze.

"Are you threatening me?"

In response, Li Qing just chuckled and shook his head:
"It's not a threat, I'm just telling you what's going to happen."

The turbid eyes of Xiaoyao Laojun narrowed, and then he said in a cold voice: "If you lead the Demon Sect to this area, the fate of your Lingyun Sect will not be good!"

In this regard, Li Qing could not deny it and said: "But I don't mind dragging your Xiaoyao Sect down with me when Lingyun Sect is destroyed."

These words really hit Xiaoyao Laojun's weakness. He had to admit that Li Qing's words were indeed very threatening.

But it is somewhat unlikely to leave Qingling Territory in such a disgraceful manner.

Patriarch Xiaoyao looked at Li Qing deeply, and then said: "In the years to come, it's best for you to stay in this formation and not come out!"

"This area will be accepted by our Xiaoyao Sect. In the future, if any disciple from your Lingyun Sect dares to come out, I will kill him!"

After saying this, Patriarch Xiaoyao waved his hand to take back his own magic weapon, and then led the rest of the Xiaoyao Sect's people south.

Obviously, they were planning to settle down in Qingling Territory. For them, Qingling Territory still had two high-level spiritual veins for them to settle down.

As for the matter of Lingyun Sect, after repeated consideration, Patriarch Xiaoyao finally decided to let it go.

He had no way of breaking through this fourth-order formation in the short term. At most, he could create a few gaps. However, this would likely attract the attention of the Demon Sect in the Great Wilderness Realm, and his Xiaoyao Sect would not be able to survive in the Qingling Realm for long.

After seeing that the people from Xiaoyao Sect had indeed disappeared into the horizon, everyone from Lingyun Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, at least this crisis has been overcome.

The five supreme elders who maintained the Tianyuan Soul-Slaying Formation all showed expressions of lingering fear.

"Finally gone! My old bones are about to be crushed." Ancestor Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.

But Wu Chong and his companions did not think so. They had all heard the last harsh words left by Patriarch Xiaoyao, and they also knew that the other party was planning to stay in Qingling Region.

I’m afraid the days ahead won’t be so easy.

Once you leave the sect, you will be at risk of being targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and at that time there will be no fourth-level formation to protect you.

Everyone was in a low mood.

Li Qing chuckled and said, "Anyway, we have defeated the enemy this time. We don't have to worry about these things for a while. Everyone can have a good rest."

"You don't need to worry about the next problem."

Hearing Li Qing's words, several people looked at Li Qing's tall figure in front of them with complicated eyes.

They all knew that Li Qing should be planning to reach the Nascent Soul stage next.

The troubles of the Nascent Soul stage can only be solved by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood became even lower.

The burden of the sect's survival fell on Li Qing's shoulders, but they were unable to share even a little of the burden.
