Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 19: The Leader of the Scaled Insects (Please Read)

Chen Xuan’s first thought was to turn around and leave.

There is always mist floating in the Shadow Forest, and the spiritual energy is turbid, which has a certain obstructive effect on the spiritual consciousness of cultivators.

When the magic power is in operation, there will be a sense of stagnation.

Except for Mu Xiu, the strength of the other cultivators dropped by at least 30%.

Unless absolutely necessary, monks rarely fight in the Shadow Forest.

The higher the level of the cultivator, the more cautious they are and the less willing they are to fight to the death with cultivators of the same level.

Here, the greatest danger is not human monks, but various demonic birds, beasts, and insects.

Especially the demonic birds that attack in groups, such as the Golden-Eyed Evil Eagle and the Howling Thunder Eagle, etc., even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator encounters them, he can only turn around and run away.

"Chen Xuan!"

Hearing the name unexpectedly, Chen Xuan groaned inwardly and had to stop.

Few people could recognize him.

Turning around, the poisonous golden silkworm hid in the ancient tree, the iron-backed mantis stood in front of him, and the psychic green snake was hidden in his sleeve.

He secretly made hand gestures, preparing to use the vine-trapping technique.

"It's really you, Chen Xuan!"

It turned out that the other party was not completely sure.

"Miss Ying'er, how did you recognize her?"

Ying'er commanded the white snake to spit out ice spikes, shooting at a burly man wielding two swords.

"I didn't recognize you. It was Xiaobai who recognized your mantis."

Chen Xuan was speechless.

He once used the Iron-back Mantis to kill the leader of the Wild Wolf Demon, Wu Tian. Unexpectedly, Miss Ying'er also figured out such a small matter.

No wonder she hesitated to speak the first few times. She must have been curious about his strange insect.

Looking at the burly man who was fighting with Miss Ying'er, he seemed to be at the fifth level of Qi training, but in the Shadow Forest, he could only exert 70% of his strength, and his spiritual power and magic power were not as strong as his.

Similarly, Ying'er, who was only at the fourth level of Qi training, was not as strong as the opponent and relied on the white snake ice spikes to fight and retreat.

"Chen Xuan, help me deal with him, the lady is stuck in front!"

At the same time, the burly man also shouted coldly.

"Kid, stop meddling! The Sima family of Luoyang Ridge is doing business, so why don't you get out of here!"

Chen Xuan calmed down.

If it was just Miss Ying'er, he could pretend to be a passerby and run away.

He was weak and had to flee to save his life. Even in front of the head of the Xu family, he could face it calmly and with a clear conscience!
But when it comes to Xu Jiali...

This won’t do. These are his bread and butter!

Without the poisonous insect corpses provided by Xu Jiali, it would be even more difficult to obtain the insect spirit essence.

As for the fact that Xu Jiali was his creditor and had helped him move to the outer city of Fangshi, he didn't take it to heart.

That's just mutual exploitation.

"Yes, yes, I'll go now!"

Chen Xuan turned around and left without hesitation.

However, the vine-trapping technique was activated, and the surrounding grass and trees rolled out a tough vine that tied up the burly man.

At the same time, the Iron-back Mantis flew over, and the swords in its arms were entangled with the double swords of the burly man.

There were clang sounds and sparks flew.

"Hey, his knife seems pretty good."

Chen Xuan remembered that Wu Tian from the Wild Wolf Gang also had a mid-grade magic weapon, the Black Iron Snowflake Blade, but it could only last for a few breaths under the Ironback Mantis's big knife before it shattered into more than a dozen pieces.

As expected, the children of cultivation families are much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Whether it is the skills or the magic weapons, they are not comparable to those of the low-level casual cultivators.

The burly man cut through the tough vines with a few strokes and blocked more than ten strikes from the Iron-backed Mantis. Seeing that Ying'er and Chen Xuan were outnumbered, he shouted angrily and used all his magic power to force back the Iron-backed Mantis, then turned around and left.

He is a smart man!

Unfortunately, a streak of dark golden light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, flashed through the darkness, quietly piercing his dantian and bursting out. The burly man felt a tingling sensation in his dantian, and then, like a deflated balloon, all his magical power poured out, sending a sharp pain through his dantian!
"What the hell!"

The burly man shouted, his head felt dizzy, his lips turned black, and he collapsed on the grass.

"Young Master Chen's poisonous golden silkworm is truly formidable!"

Ying'er sighed and said solemnly, "Please help me, Master Chen. The Xu family will definitely reward you handsomely!"

He bowed and performed a blessing ceremony, with a slight look of pleading.

"Miss Ying'er, lead the way. I will do my best to assist you."

This time, Chen Xuan did not refuse.

He quickly touched the corpse, put the storage bag into his arms, and put his two swords behind his back.

Afterwards, he followed Ying'er, keeping a distance of more than ten feet.

"Qingqing, are you sure the cultivator ahead isn't very strong?"

"One is in the late stage of Qi training, and four are in the middle stage of Qi training. With me, Bao Bao, and Xiao Dao to protect them, Master, don't worry."

During this month, with the cultivation of the insect spirit essence, the psychic green snake was successfully promoted to the middle grade, and it also won over the poisonous flame golden silkworm and the iron-backed mantis.

Even the name has been chosen.

It calls itself Qingqing, the poisonous golden silkworm is its baby, and the iron-backed mantis is its knife.

The psychic green snake, which possesses the long bloodline of all scaled insects, amazed Chen Xuan in its ability to bewitch evil insects.

He was the last to enter the Insect Emperor Divine Wood Cauldron and the last to be promoted, but he became the leader of the three demon insects.

"Late stage of Qi training..."

Chen Xuan sighed.

In just over a month, he actually underestimated the strength of a cultivator in the late Qi training stage?

"Don't force yourself. If you can help, then help. If you can't, don't blame me. Safety first!"

After making up his mind, Chen Xuan followed Ying'er at a moderate pace and came to the place where Xu Jiali was trapped.

Sure enough, it was just as the psychic green snake said.

Next to Xu Jiali stood a pure white snake that was over ten feet long, casting a water curtain ice shield to protect it and Xu Jiali.

Opposite Xu Jiali, there were cultivators dressed in brocade clothes, with a thin old man standing next to them. The other two cultivators in their prime were holding heavy weapons and constantly hammering at the water curtain ice shield.

Seeing Ying'er appear, the two middle-aged monks stopped at the same time. One of them asked, "Hey, why are you back? Where is my third brother?"

Ying'er waved her hand, smiling like a flower, "Come here, I'll tell you!"

"Bitch, what have you done to the third brother?" another middle-aged monk said coldly.

"Chang Da, Chang Er, come back!" The young man in brocade clothes said, "The humble maid is fine, but Chang San is probably in danger."

The two brothers glared at Ying'er hatefully and returned obediently to the side of the young man in brocade clothes.

"Ms. Xu Jiali, I am sincere to you. Do you really not agree?"

There was a hint of hope in the expression of the young man in brocade clothes.

"Sima Yan, how dare you attack me? Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon the Sima family?"

"I sincerely propose to you. It would be a wonderful thing for our two families to become one. If you insist on not agreeing..."

The young man in brocade clothes suddenly smiled sinisterly.

"If you don't want to be my person, then be my ghost! Don't blame me for being ruthless! Mr. Chang, do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin old man summoned a ring-shaped magic weapon, which transformed into nine golden rings, emitting dazzling light, and continuously hit the water curtain ice shield.

The white snake sprayed out another breath of ice to strengthen the water curtain ice shield.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the water curtain ice shield could not hold out for long under the attack of Chang Lao's golden ring.

Ying'er stamped her feet and shouted angrily, "Why don't you do it now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated and activated the vine-trapping technique he had prepared, urging the nearby plants to condense into four huge vines, which tied up Sima Yan and the other four.

At the same time, the Iron-back Mantis leaped up, waving its sword and attacking Chang Lao Er, and the Poison Flame Golden Silkworm turned into a dark golden light and shot towards Chang Lao Da.

"I've known for a long time that you have bad intentions!"

Old Chang flew into the air, and a golden ring came out from the magic weapon in his hand, spinning and hitting Chen Xuan.
