Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 222: Non-Victory
"Bastards!" Taoist Fire Dragon cursed at Kang Dabao and others who were passing by him, and then the Xuanyin Six Wood Shield blocked the beast bone stick of the Red-faced Foundation Establishment.

Fortunately, the red-faced foundation-building cultivator had his spiritual weapon shattered by Sect Leader Kang's Star-shooting Crossbow, which also cut off his left forearm.

Although Fire Dragon Taoist's injuries were more serious, it was not an easy task for the Red-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivator to defeat him.

"You bastard! You want to run away!" The Taoist Fire Dragon was unwilling to be a meat shield for Kang Dabao and the others, so halfway through the fight, he gathered his strength and turned his back to escape.

The red-faced cultivator had a strange look on his face. He only heard from the Lin family cultivators who escaped back that this group of remnants were very brutal and killed Lin Yuanfeng of the Lin family without a complete corpse.

Now that Lin Yuanfeng is dead, it's a good thing that there's no one to steal the credit from me!

When the Red-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivator heard about the death of his fellow Taoist, he was somewhat afraid, but he was even more reluctant to give up the opportunity to take credit in front of the Liangyi Sect.

Practitioners are always going against the will of heaven. If you take one step slowly, you will take every step slowly! Sometimes, as long as you risk your life to take a gamble, if you win, you can be reborn!
The Red-faced Foundation Establishment Master was afraid that he would arrive too late, causing the treasure that was about to be in his mouth to fly away, so he deliberately left behind several late-stage disciples who came with him and chased after them alone.

Before he arrived, I thought I would have to go through a tough battle, but now
"There's something fishy here!" The Red-faced Foundation Establishment Warrior was a little worried that Kang Dabao and the others were teaming up with the Fire Dragon Taoist to show weakness to the enemy. He became more alert, and the lotus leaf magic weapon under his feet also slowed down. He only stayed a hundred feet away from the Fire Dragon Taoist and did not dare to advance.

"Old thief! You're quite capable. You're not dead yet!" Sect Leader Kang, riding Ye Zhengwen's flying boat, cursed at the Taoist Fire Dragon approaching from behind.

Jiang Qing stood on the deck and was about to draw his sword, but Taoist Huolong shouted, "Wait!"

Taoist Huolong felt fearful when looking at this handsome swordsman. If he was in his prime, he would not be afraid of Jiang Qing alone, even if he faced five or ten of them.

But at this moment, it would take more than ten years to heal from his injuries, and his own strength was less than one tenth of what it was now.

It wouldn't be a big deal to be hit by Jiang Qing's flying sword, but there was a strong enemy following closely behind him. It would be a great disadvantage to waste his energy here.

Jiang Qing didn't want to listen to Taoist Huolong's nonsense and was about to chop him down with his sword, but was stopped by the head of the Kang family, who was at the helm: "What the hell are you talking about, old thief?!"

"Hehe, Sect Leader Kang, the one behind us who is building the foundation of the True Spirit Sect has no idea of ​​the grudges and hatreds between us. In his eyes, he only knows that we can take our heads back to show our loyalty to the Liangyi Sect.

"Cooperate, let's cooperate, let's kill him together first, and we can settle our grudges later. If we still want to fight each other at this time, won't that bastard behind us take advantage of us?"

Taoist Huolong's tone became much better, and there was no trace of his previous arrogance anymore.

"Oh, you old thief have a good plan. Your foundation-building brain is so valuable. The senior from the True Spirit Sect behind you won't care about us worthless little Qi-cultivating cultivators! Why should I work for you?"

After hearing what Taoist Fire Dragon said, Sect Leader Kang pretended to be indifferent. He reached out and exchanged a new medium-grade spiritual stone in the cabin, and the speed of the flying boat increased by one point, leaving Taoist Fire Dragon, whose speed was getting slower and slower, behind.

"Hehe, you bastard, stop acting weird in front of our ancestors. Don't you know that your head, as the legitimate son-in-law of the Fei family, is valuable? Back then, a man from the Yue family was building his foundation, and he traveled across mountains and rivers to look for your head to claim credit!"

Taoist Fire Dragon's face turned purple at this time, and it was obvious that his injuries were quite serious. Just flying away at a high speed was an extremely strenuous task for him.

But after all, the old thief Huolong Taoist was extremely cunning, and Master Kang couldn't tell whether the old thief was pretending or not. Even though he hit the sore spot, he still didn't respond.

"Okay, okay, then you just wait and see whether after I die, the Zhenling Sect's foundation-building sect will be willing to come and take off your precious head." Taoist Fire Dragon was so angry that he used a secret technique and changed the direction of the flying boat under his feet, no longer sailing parallel to Kang Dabao and the others.

"Hey, Junior Brother Chu, come here." Kang Dabao was not as tough as he appeared before. After the Taoist Fire Dragon left, he showed his cowardice.

The wound caused by the short blade had not healed yet. The head of the Kang sect was sweating coldly. Chu Huer and Jiang Qing rushed over anxiously and said, "Brother Chu, your injury is not serious. Take the flying boat and bring Old Ye back to the sect first.

Before you go back, send a message to Qinghan Court and ask them to send a skilled alchemist to save this bastard's life!"

Ye Zhengwen couldn't open his eyes since he got on the flying boat.

His injuries are too severe, and Master Kang is unsure of his condition. If he doesn't ask a skilled alchemist to take a look, it's hard to say whether he will live or die.

"Master Brother, what about you?" Chu Huer was about to agree, but asked again.

"What the old villain Huolong said is true. The foundation-building master of Zhenling Sect will not let either me or him go. Rather than being defeated one by one by him, it is better for me to take the third brother and try to fight Taoist Huolong together."

Kang Dabao showed a look of determination on his face. Jiang Qing frowned and said with his sword in hand: "Big Brother is also injured. I will go!"

"Relax! I know! Do as I say. In all these years, I have never held you back." Master Kang waved his hand to refuse. Jiang and Chu wanted to persuade him again, but he stopped them with gestures.

"No need to say more, I am your senior brother, I am the leader, just listen to me!"

Since Kang Dabao said so, Chu Huer had no choice but to do as he said and took over the helm.

Jiang Qing changed the medicine for Master Kang's wound. When he came closer, Kang Dabao asked in a mosquito-like voice, "How confident are you?"

"Five points! Senior Brother, if you trust me for once, just follow Junior Brother Chu back first. I will definitely be able to escape unscathed."

"I'm fine. My pupil technique is still usable. It can at least scare those two old thieves!"

"Okay," Jiang Qing stopped trying to persuade Kang Dabao after hearing what he said, and immediately asked, "When are we going to meet Taoist Fire Dragon?!"

"No hurry, wait until he suffers a little more!"

When the Red-Faced Foundation Establishment Warrior saw the enemies split into two sides, he thought they were going to flee separately and instantly became a little impatient.

But if he hesitated at this time, he might end up with nothing. Red-faced Foundation Building understood this, and after thinking quickly for a while, he decided to step on the lotus leaf magic weapon and rush towards the Fire Dragon Taoist.

He thought to himself that this would be difficult at first but would become easier later on, so he had to be cautious.

The Red Face Foundation Establishment Cultivator was confident that after he defeated the Fire Dragon Taoist who was at the same level as him, he would have no problem turning around and catching up with Kang Dabao and the other Qi training cultivators.

On the contrary, even if the head of Fei family's son-in-law was taken down, Taoist Fire Dragon, who was building his foundation, would most likely run away, which would be somewhat unpleasant.

He was a man with a big gambling habit, and even at this point, he still wanted to do his best.

Otherwise, he would not have connected twenty-one crossbow arrows and gambled whether the whisk could catch the twenty-second one, causing himself to break his spiritual weapon and lose half of his arm.

Otherwise, he would not dare to abandon the younger generations in the sect and earn the credit alone.

Nine of the words that Taoist Huolong said to Master Kang were true and one of them was false. The true part was that he really had no strength to fight anymore. If he faced the Red-Faced Foundation Establishment Master alone, he would be killed on the spot in a short while.

As for the fake part, of course, he had no intention of joining forces with Master Kang to fight the enemy.

In his mind, he had always been planning to let Kang Dabao and a few of his fellow apprentices fight to the death with the Red-Faced Foundation Establishment Warrior, while he himself would sit back and watch the show, reaping the benefits.

But I never thought that Kang Dabao was such a stubborn and stupid fool.

"You are such a fool who can't judge the situation. You actually didn't adopt my brilliant plan!"

Taoist Huolong cursed and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. This feeling was very familiar to the old thief who was used to fighting. It was even sharper than his spiritual sense.

"Bastard!" Taoist Huolong knew that even if he begged for mercy, this red-faced foundation-building cultivator who was clearly looking for a bonus would never let him go, so he simply saved his energy and cursed him directly.

The red-faced foundation-building cultivator seemed to have no intention of facing the desperate Fire Dragon Taoist. With a light wipe, a giant bear more than two meters tall appeared from the spirit beast bag on his waist. It leaped suddenly and landed on the deck of the Fire Dragon Taoist's flying boat.

Hong Lian Zhuji was an outlier in the Zhenling Sect where everyone had to raise spirit beasts. He had no talent to be a beastmaster, but he was able to achieve the foundation-building certificate.

However, although his attainments in beast taming were at the bottom among his fellow disciples, the giant bear that landed on Fire Dragon Taoist's deck was no simple beast either. It was already a top-grade spiritual beast of the first rank. For Fire Dragon Taoist at this moment, it was also a strong opponent.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Taoist Fire Dragon was on the deck of his own flying boat, being chased by the giant bear and was in a very miserable state.

"Stupid beast!" Seeing his flying boat being torn apart by the giant bear, Taoist Fire Dragon dodged the flying wood debris and shouted angrily. "You are really a tiger in trouble. When I recover from my injuries, I will chop off your four claws and stew them one by one!"

The red-faced giant bear in the foundation-building stage could not understand all this, and still opened its huge mouth with saliva dripping from it, leaping over the dilapidated deck of the flying boat and rushing towards the Fire Dragon Taoist.

What Taoist Huolong feared the least back then was these monsters that had no magic skills and only relied on brute force. With just a glance of his magic eyes, he could easily find many flaws in these stupid creatures and deliver a fatal blow.

But now he had no choice but to hold on with the Xuanyin Six Wood Shield. It was not that he had no trump card, but the real culprit, the red-faced foundation-building master, was still standing in the sky, staring at him covetously.

If we use the trump card on this stupid beast, I'm afraid that would be what Red Face Foundation Building wanted.

When the giant bear saw that Fire Dragon Taoist had no power to fight back, the brutality in its bones came out, and it attacked with all its claws and fangs, scratching Fire Dragon Taoist's protective magic weapon all over.

The Red-Faced Foundation Establishment was also very satisfied with what he saw. Just as he was thinking about whether to take advantage of the situation and kill the Fire Dragon Taoist directly, two golden lights shot towards the giant bear.

"How dare you turn around and save people!" The red-faced foundation-building man was shocked and angry, thinking that these people were probably playing some old-fashioned drama of deep affection and loyalty. But with him here, how could he allow a Qi training junior to hurt his spirit beast? !
The lotus leaf magic weapon under the Red Face Foundation Building's feet began to spin rapidly. The leaf caps and petioles separated and blocked the giant bear behind it, blocking the two golden lights respectively.

After the loud bang, the golden energy dissipated, and the Red Face Foundation Building Tool, this top-grade magic weapon, did not return to his feet. The leaf cover turned into a shield and the petiole turned into a sword.

As soon as the magic weapon was in hand, the Red-faced Foundation Establishment Warrior felt a strong flame filling the surroundings, followed by a flaming sword net coming towards him.

Several deep scratches were left on Ye Gai's shield, shocking the red-faced master so much that he frowned.

After the sword net passed, several more flaming sword lights came slashing over. The red-faced foundation-building cultivator was somewhat surprised to find that after being injured, it seemed difficult for him to crush the young sword cultivator opposite him.

This made him start to get a little anxious. If Taoist Fire Dragon joined forces with him, the outcome would be hard to determine.

Thinking of this, the Red-Faced Foundation Establishment Master actually sacrificed a second-level sword talisman. The talisman spontaneously ignited, and a sharp green sword shadow stabbed towards Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing could tell that this sword talisman was not an ordinary item, so he was not afraid. He sacrificed dozens of top-grade golden shield talismans to protect himself.

The green sword shadow initially faced the golden shield symbol as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, breaking through it layer by layer. But in the end it was already a spent force and was easily blocked by Jiang Qing's sword.

Red Face Foundation Building did not think that he could get rid of Jiang Qing with just a sword talisman. He just took this opportunity to move behind the Fire Dragon Taoist.

Although the Qigong sword cultivator was difficult to deal with, in the eyes of the red-faced foundation-building cultivator, the Fire Dragon Taoist was more frightening.

"If I don't use it now, I will really die!" Taoist Fire Dragon sensed the approaching murderous aura, so even though he knew that Master Kang was waiting for him to fight to the death with Red Face Foundation Establishment Master and then take advantage of him, he had to use his hidden trump card.

"Ah!" Fire Dragon Taoist was still a step too slow, or rather, Red Face's foundation-building movements were too fast for ordinary people to reach.

Three more sword talismans, and the Fire Dragon Taoist's Xuanyin Six Wooden Shield was cut into six wooden pieces. Before he could take out his trump card, the giant bear in front of him bit through his head, and he let out a miserable howl.

As soon as the howl was uttered, the Red Face Foundation Establishment Leaf Petal Flying Sword stabbed forward, trying to pierce Fire Dragon Taoist's ventricle, but was stopped by Jiang Qing holding the sword. While the giant bear was getting more ferocious, Sect Leader Kang also fired another glare, hitting the giant bear's broad back, making the beast even more ferocious, and increased the strength of his mouth.

Taoist Fire Dragon was trapped in the bear's mouth and struggled wildly for a while. Kang Dabao felt that his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and he looked a little anxious.

It's really ironic that Taoist Huolong almost killed Master Kang first; then they served as ministers in the same palace a few years later; later they came to the top of the Jiazixu Hill in Xiaowu Mountain and fought side by side; just now after they broke the window paper, the two fought for life and death again; finally at this time, Kang Dabao actually came to save his life.

Is it true that every sip and every bite is destined?
Without caring about these things, Kang Dabao endured the severe pain in his chest and swung the God-Slaying Lock like a silver dragon, and smashed the giant bear's head with the powerful lock.

This beast suffered such injuries, but it just groaned and seemed a little dizzy, and even its skull was only slightly dented. Its hardness was no less than that of an ordinary high-grade defensive magic weapon.

Seeing that Jiang Qing was temporarily fine, Sect Leader Kang became ruthless and smashed him hard again.

His first attack was not completely ineffective. It seemed to have made the stupid creature even more stupid. It didn't even know how to dodge and just kept biting the Fire Dragon Taoist's head and neck without letting go for a moment.

Master Kang could see the Fire Dragon Taoist's brain leaking out of the giant bear's mouth, and he knew that he would not survive.

Thinking that he had lost another helping hand, Kang Dabao instantly became anxious. Finally, he managed to open the giant bear's skull, and yellow and white blood splattered all over the ground. He was killed on the spot.

On the other side, Jiang Qing was fighting fiercely with the Red-faced Foundation Establishment Master.

The former has skillful swordsmanship and is full of vigor; the latter has powerful magic and a vicious face.

For a while, Jiang Qing was in a fierce fight with a Foundation Building cultivator with low health.

But after all, Hong Lian had lived for a hundred years, so how could he not have some hidden skills? Ye Gai's shield flew out of his hand suddenly, like a flywheel, and was about to cut into Jiang Qing's neck and split him in two.

Jiang Qing narrowly dodged and saw that there was no obstruction in front of the red-faced foundation-building warrior. He made a prompt decision and turned the flying sword around and stabbed fiercely at the red-faced foundation-building warrior.

The red-faced man who was building the foundation was not in a panic. He hid his hands in his sleeves and changed his hand gestures at the same time.

A green spiritual liquid emanated from the petiole flying sword. When Jiang Qing flew over with his sword, it was actually stuck by the spiritual liquid.

Jiang Qing was so shocked that he used all his magic. Even though the flying sword on the leaf stalk had been burned black by the flames of the Seven Stars Heart-Slashing Sword, the Seven Stars Heart-Slashing Sword was still stuck on it and could not be removed.

The red-faced foundation-building man suddenly felt a little proud and laughed. After fighting for so long, it seemed like this was the first time that Jiang Qing was defeated!
"What's so scary about a swordsman without a flying sword?!" The red-faced foundation-building cultivator suddenly became excited and took out the animal bone stick, intending to smash Jiang Qing's head.

But he failed. A familiar strong wind blew over him, causing the wound on his left arm to hurt again.

Without thinking, he dodged immediately!
A silver feather flew past the red-faced man within ten feet of his body, causing a tear in his gown.

Master Kang was somewhat dismayed upon seeing this. The Star-shooting Crossbow in the Pingrong County armory was indeed a defective piece of junk. It could actually deviate so far!
Just when the Red-Faced Foundation Establishment was rejoicing at having survived the calamity, a flying sword as white as jade came slashing over and broke the Ye Gai shield in his hand with one blow.

The powerful sword energy did not stop, leaving a horrible scar on the red-faced warrior's chest.

"A flying sword with spiritual power!?" The red-faced foundation-building master was so shocked that he lost his voice. Firstly, this thing was so precious that even a foundation-building master from an ordinary small sect might not be able to afford it; secondly, he was shocked that Jiang Qing could actually control a spiritual power.

It should be noted that the most important thing for a cultivator to use a protective weapon is its suitability for use, and the higher the grade, the better.

Even if an ordinary Qigong cultivator holds a spiritual weapon, its effectiveness is far inferior to that of a pseudo-spiritual weapon or a top-grade magic weapon.

Those who can master the use of spiritual tools during the Qi training stage are considered to be outstanding figures among the minor Qi practitioners.

For example, this is the case with Tie Xishui, the nephew of Commander Tie. Before he established his foundation, he had made a name for himself in Yunjiao Province with a spiritual weapon-level Fantian Seal.

Before Hong Lian established his foundation, he had never thought that he would meet someone when he went out today.

As planned, Hong Lian's foundation-building injuries worsened, but Jiang Qing was in high spirits.

The Bailu Sword was a wedding gift from the Earl of Nan'an to the head of the Kang family. It was indeed no ordinary item. It killed the red-faced master, whose face turned purple, leaving him with almost no chance to breathe!

"Spare my life, and the True Spirit Sect will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Young man, you should be considerate and make friends. In the future, we may become friends of the same path!"

"Take everything from the storage bag, and just spare my life!"

The red-faced master begged desperately, and Jiang Qing pressed him hard, but a brilliant sword light cut through the beast bone stick, the magical weapon that the red-faced master relied on to struggle, and a trace of madness flashed across the latter's deep purple face.

"Ahhh, all of you die!" A red-gold thunder ball shot out from the red-faced foundation-building cultivator's body. This was not comparable to the Heavenly Thunder Ball that any Qi-cultivating cultivator could obtain.

This is the Gengjin Divine Thunder that the Red-Faced Foundation-Building Master found in a fake Dan Cave in his early years.

His master had only used three of them to ambushed a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage, leaving no trace of the latter's body.

After the death of his master, Red Face Foundation Establishment was only given one, but he kept it in his hands all the time and regarded it as a treasure. However, Jiang Qing was aggressive and there was no way for him to survive, so there was no way he could keep this good thing.

"Die, die!" The wound on the red-faced man's foundation was attacked by the sword energy. At this time, it had spread from the chest to the back. The whole person was almost split into two. Since he couldn't live anymore, he naturally had to drag someone else to die with him!
"Boom." Master Kang had never heard such a deafening thunder. Compared with it, Tian Lei Zi was far inferior to it.

The thunder and fire dissipated, and a flying sword as white as jade with a hint of fireworks pierced into the earth.

Being in the center of the explosion, the red-faced foundation-building warriors who were determined to die had already fallen everywhere. Kang Dabao, who was covering his wound, was now full of fear and panic in his eyes. He stepped over the pieces of red-faced foundation-building warriors without even looking at them, and only looked around for Jiang Qing's traces.

"Mistress!"

No one knew how much time had passed before Master Kang finally dug Jiang Qing out from the scorched earth that was still glowing with fire.

At this moment, big tears rolled down his fat face. It seemed that the scene before him pulled his spine out. He felt unprecedented powerlessness.

"Little Sanzi!!"
