After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 188 Encirclement and Suppression [Requesting Double Monthly Tickets!]

"..."

"..."

"..."

The island in the middle of the lake was completely silent.

Everyone turned to look at Qi Sheng, their eyes suddenly burning with fervor.

Qi Sheng was also stunned.

He was genuinely taking stock of the spoils of war, thinking that the 'Old Man of the Heavenly Pool' had been trapped in this cave for over sixty years, and had probably used up all the treasures he possessed.

He originally thought that the old man of Tiantan would at most have ordinary magical artifacts left.

who knows!
Who knew that a big one would suddenly be pulled out!
The medicine box frightened everyone, including Qi Sheng.

Snapped!
He slammed the book shut, looked up and around, and saw a multitude of eyes watching him intently. This time it wasn't just Granny Sanhua, nor just experts like the Rib Immortal and Seven Aperture Ghost God from the Ghost King Sect, but also experts from the Sword Sect, Poison Sect, Evil Sect, and many others, all eager to make a move.

The middle-aged Daoist nun, Phoenix Wanderer Jiang Huang'er, was the first to transmit her voice secretly: "Young brother, may I have this elixir of immortality? The Linghu family is large and powerful. Just tell me what you need, and I and the Linghu family will do our best to satisfy you."

This Phoenix Hermit came seeking the elixir of immortality, but unexpectedly, it was obtained by Qi Sheng, a newcomer to the area.

Jiang Huang'er didn't care whether she could get out or not; she just wanted to get the elixir of immortality first before considering anything else.

Here.

Jiang Huang'er suggested discussing it.

On the other side, 'Adventurous Thief Wife, Laughing Iron Man' also transmitted her voice, discussing the matter: "Young friend, since you come from the Netherworld Sect, you must be practicing the 'Scripture of the Dead' and the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Technique.' You are too young to use the elixir of immortality. If you are willing to help, my wife and I are willing to teach you everything we know. If you are able to leave one day, we will do our best to help you return to the sect."

This is also a matter of etiquette.

However, some people don't follow the "courtesy first, then force" approach. For example, the peak expert of the Poison Sect, "Heart-Eating Eccentric," had already secretly cast a spell. Qi Sheng was alert and sensed something was wrong. He quickly summoned the "Eight Trigrams Dividing Mirror," shone it down from the sky, and revealed the invisible poisonous smoke and miasma, forcing it away.

He immediately stood up and unleashed the "Thunder Gate and Rain Door Technique." In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, followed by a torrential downpour that swept away the surrounding dust and cleansed away the poisonous smoke and mist.

then.

He used the man's own methods against him, and casually took out the red and yellow gourd that the man had previously obtained from the "Jade Sima". He chanted a spell, opened the lid, and a small banner flew out.

As soon as the banner was unfurled in the wind, a cloud of yellow mist, hundreds of feet long, surged forth and flew toward the 'heart-eating monster'.

Just as the Heart-Eating Stranger was about to take off and escape, it was too late. A large cloud of yellow mist, as swift as a galloping horse, flew over and surrounded him.

Fortunately, he had a treasure; a beam of light enveloped him, swirling up and down to protect his body.

The old monster only heard a single eagle's cry, and then could hear no more sounds from outside the yellow dust. He only felt a pungent, fishy smell, his vision blurred with red and yellow, his body became hot, and his head became dizzy.

Someone recognized it—

"How did Sima Chengfeng's 'Red and Yellow Gourd' end up in your hands?!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng looked over and saw the voice coming from the peak expert of the Sword Sect, 'Tianquan Swordsman'. His face darkened, and he shouted sharply, "So you are the successor of 'Yu Sima'! What a monster, take my sword!"

The man didn't need Qi Sheng to answer his question; he was just looking for an excuse to attack Qi Sheng.

Speaking of Tianquan Swordsman, he was no ordinary man. In the "Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect," one of the five sects of the Barbarian Frontier, there were sword techniques passed down such as "Two Elements," "Four Symbols," "Five Elements," "Seven Stars," "Nine Palaces," "Twelve Yuan Chen," "Twenty-Eight Mansions," "Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals," and "Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends." Those who fully mastered one of these techniques were called "Sword Ancestors," such as the "Two Elements Sword Ancestor" and the "Four Symbols Sword Ancestor."

Below the Sword Ancestor is the Sword Master.

For example, under the "Four Symbols Sword Ancestors" there are the "Sun Sword Master", "Moon Sword Master", "Lesser Yang Sword Master" and "Lesser Yin Sword Master", each leading a corresponding lineage.

Below the Sword Master are the sword cultivators who practice the corresponding sword techniques. The most outstanding among them, who are candidates for Sword Master, are given the title 'Sword Master So-and-So'. Generally, at any given time, there are only three to five candidates for Sword Master who can receive the title 'Sword Master', and each of them must be at least at the top level in terms of strength.

For example, this "Tianquan Swordsman" was bestowed the title of "Swordsman" 120 years ago, and has since become a strong candidate for the next "Tianquan Sword Master".

For the sake of the Sword Master's position, he risked his life to come to the forbidden zone of the Dragon Prison Abyss, hoping to find some opportunity to seize it in one fell swoop.

But I didn't expect it.

The opportunity was not found.

The sword master failed to capture it.

Instead, he trapped himself in this small cave of the Dragon Prison, and a hundred and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. Among everyone present, apart from the Three Flower Goddess, he was the most senior.

of course.

Such qualifications are better left unused.

However, the 'Tianquan Swordsman' has immersed himself in swordsmanship in the small cave for over a hundred years. With a calm mind, his swordsmanship has improved again and again, and he may not be inferior to the sword masters of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect.

Their strength is absolutely formidable.

As soon as he made his move, the Seven Stars swayed, empowering Tianquan.

What is Tianquan?

balance!

opportunity!

Knowledge!

This is the essence of the 'Tianquan Sword Technique'.

This 'Tianquan Swordsman', whose real name is Wang Xuanliang, had long mastered the essence of sword techniques and even reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. When he made his move, it was an extremely rational and highly skilled sword technique. There was no fancy technique in sight, but he was able to forcefully disperse the yellow mist released by the 'Red and Yellow Gourd'.

Qi Sheng was delighted at the sight of the hunt, and with a shout of "Quick!" he pointed his finger, and a sword light flew out to fight against it.

Upon their first exchange, Qi Sheng, who had only used one sword strike, found himself at a disadvantage.

He was startled, and finally recognized it: "So it's 'Sword Heart Clarity'!"

It was yet another brand-new sword technique, completely different from the eight sword techniques Qi Sheng had mastered and the second-tier technique like the 'Great Thunder Sound Sword'. It was more rational and adaptable to each move.

"disease!"

"disease!"

"disease!"

It took Qi Sheng three strikes to contend with him and achieve a stalemate.

And at this time——

"This petty thief has broken the rules; he deserves to be attacked by the masses!"

Someone shouted again.

Qi Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and was shocked to see that the Three Flower Goddess had returned, this time to target Qi Sheng again.

"Flower Granny".

"Let this old Taoist priest have a go at you!"

Feng Xingzi finally intervened from afar, stopping the Three Flower Goddess for Qi Sheng.

Several old demons, who belonged to the same demonic sect as the Three Flower Goddess, shouted angrily, "Feng Xingzi! I advise you not to stick your neck out!"

Before they could finish speaking, they all attacked together, heading straight for Feng Xingzi.

That side.

Phoenix Hermit and Master Suxin had long been allies with Feng Xingzi, sharing the same breath and helping each other. But now they could not stand idly by. With a shout, the two women attacked together.

For a while.

The battle on the island in the middle of the lake caused utter chaos.

Feng Xingzi, along with Phoenix Wanderer and Master Suxin, engaged in a fierce battle against the demonic sect masters led by the Three Flower Goddess.

Qi Sheng then fought alone against seven sword masters, including the "Tianquan Swordsman" Wang Xuanliang and the "Heart-Eating Eccentric" Poison Master. All of them were at least top-tier experts.

Qi Sheng was completely exhausted after fighting seven opponents alone!

It can't be beaten at all!
He wasn't stupid. With the eight swords combined and man and sword as one, he soared into the sky—"You've got guts!"

Come and chase me!

Qi Sheng was arrogant, and he wanted to see if these people would give up the stable ownership of the 'Gui Water Essence' at Golden Eagle Lake for the sake of an elixir of immortality.

Ah!
As long as he doesn't die, he'll kill these old geezers sooner or later!
……

Meanwhile, amidst the chaotic battle on the lake, Qi Sheng merged with his sword and leaped away into the distance.

If you can't beat them, you can always outrun them.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can always avoid them.

But Wang Xuanliang and his group refused to back down.

Golden Eagle Lake is located here.

That demon Gun is right here.

The essence of Gui water is also located here.

None of them are any different in a short time.

"Kill Qi Sheng first!"

"Steal the elixir of immortality!"

"It's not too late to come back and stay!"

The Heart-Eating Stranger shouted and led the Poison Sect experts in pursuit.

Wang Xuanliang, the "Swordsman of Tianquan," raised his sword, and a sword that pierced the clouds resounded through the sky, signaling the gathering of his men to deal with Qi Sheng.

"They really won't let it go!"

Qi Sheng was incredibly brave and fearless.

He was no longer the mortal who had just arrived at the Netherworld Sect, nor the insignificant nobody who had traveled back and forth to Xiaohan Mountain. Several years had passed, and regardless of how powerful his magic was or how diverse his magical artifacts were, his swordsmanship alone was enough to make him a force to be reckoned with in the barbarian lands.

In this small grotto, no one is qualified to kill him!
Look at Qi Sheng, his body and sword becoming one, he vanished in a flash, and began to walk his dog in this small cave.

With body and sword as one, the speed is extremely fast.

There were very few people here who could catch up with him; even keeping up was a struggle. They could only catch up by surrounding and intercepting Qi Sheng and delaying him slightly, which meant that Qi Sheng never had a chance to escape the public eye for a short period of time.

This made it difficult for him to carry out his plan to temporarily avoid the limelight by using the concealment technique.

I have no choice but to slip away first.

His magical power was not bad, having been around for nearly two hundred years, and he also had the 'Purple Cloud True Method' stored up. In addition, there were many pills in the seven or eight leopard skin pouches on his waist to replenish his magical power and cultivation.

Is it going to take a while?
He's really not afraid!
We can afford to wait a year or two!
However, while he was expending his energy, something else happened at Golden Eagle Lake.

……

"Little thief!"

"Go away!"

Qi Sheng flew over Golden Eagle Lake once again; this was the third day he had been surrounded and pursued.

It is now noon.

As he passed by Golden Eagle Lake, he glanced down casually and saw that the demons had attacked again. At this moment, almost all of the twenty-four island lords on the island in the middle of the lake had changed hands. The more powerful ones were chasing after Qi Sheng, while the less powerful ones were filling vacancies and continuing to hold their positions.

now.

The island lords joined forces to erect a protective array of light, suppressing the leading wolf demon.

Streaks of sword light, firelight, and cold light followed closely above the heads of many demons, spinning rapidly like lightning.

Clang clang!
Rumble!
Beneath the layer of light, wisps of light drifted down like a Milky Way, a shower of golden rain falling from the sky.

Those monsters continued to desperately try to climb to the top, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

It should be noted that although the current island lords are far inferior to the group from a few days ago, they are still top-notch figures with extraordinary abilities. Even Qi Sheng would not dare to directly confront them.

But these monsters charged straight at us, as if they didn't know or understand.

What's even stranger is that those top experts used their best techniques one by one, but no matter how miraculous the flying swords or how mysterious the spells, none of them managed to kill these demons.

Swish!

Qi Sheng flew over Golden Eagle Lake several times, glancing down at it. Thinking about what Feng Xingzi had said earlier, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be the effect of the 'Zeding'.

"If this continues, won't 'Ze Ding' be damaged in the process?"

Qi Sheng had this concern, and others obviously did too.

That 'Ze Ding' is a treasure capable of refining 'Gui Water Essence', who could bear to damage it?
Seeing the gold dust flying everywhere, everyone was deeply afraid that if this stalemate continued, the treasure of Ze Ding would be damaged, which would be a real pity, but they could not take it back.

They were caught in a dilemma.

Just as everyone was at a loss for what to do, and just as Qi Sheng flew over Golden Eagle Lake for the fifth time, he suddenly saw a strange light below. Hundreds of golden stars flew out from the tops of those demons, actually breaking through the light barrier formed by the experts and disappearing into the sky.

"The demon is trying to run away?!"

Qi Sheng was startled, suspecting that the demon had taken the opportunity to escape.

Not just Qi Sheng.

Even Wang Xuanliang and the others, who were originally chasing and intercepting Qi Sheng, stopped in the air above Golden Eagle Lake and looked down to watch the movements in the lake.

Just as I was feeling alarmed, the music from the bottom of the lake started again, this time with a seductive melody.

A thick fog billowed up, enveloping the demons, who suddenly turned and tumbled downwards.

Wow!
Plop!
The sound of the water was chaotic and noisy, and in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed up by the flood and disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, a lake of red water gushed forth several dozen feet from the shore, its surface as smooth as a mirror, bathed in golden light.

Everyone listened intently, their hearts pounding with anxiety. They could still faintly hear the panting of the demon Gun from the bottom of the Red Ravine, just like when it returned defeated in battle. They realized that it had not escaped. However, they were still somewhat uneasy about the fate of the hundreds of Venus Lords who had just taken flight.

By this time, seven days and seven nights had passed.

They waited until noon on the eighth day. Everyone estimated that the demon Gun would not cause any more trouble for the time being. Feng Xingzilang said, "The demon Gun's strange behavior is really strange. Everyone should stop fighting among yourselves and sit down to carefully study what those hundreds of golden stars are for."

No one responded, nor did anyone object.

Qi Shengle stood on the hilltop by the lake, watching everyone discuss the matter.

The Three-Flower Goddess frowned and said, "That Venus was able to break through the barrier we set up; its power is evident. But the evil Gun did not take this opportunity to escape, which is even more puzzling."

Feng Xingzi, however, was very knowledgeable and had a long memory. He then said, “Just now I thought about it carefully and I can’t remember which book recorded it. Although it did not say the origin of Venus, it mentioned that the ‘Zeding’ had a spirit and that the Five Ancestors sealed it with a divine talisman.”

He speculated: "If that Venus is indeed a manifestation of the divine talisman, then it must be that although the demon Gun has comprehended the Ze Ding and can release the image on the cauldron, he does not have the power to remove the divine talisman. Therefore, he asked us to destroy the divine talisman."

"If I'm not mistaken, then the largest wolf-headed, two-winged demon must be the key to Ze Ding, and the key to the divine talisman must also be on the key."

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Now that you mention it, it's no wonder that the demon Gun kept coming to attack. It wasn't because he was bored or looking for fun, but because he was a cunning and scheming manipulator!

can not imagine!

Once the divine talisman is worn down by the demonic serpent, and the cauldron is completely refined, and then the cauldron is used to break through the earth's net and truly leave Golden Eagle Lake, how powerful will the demonic serpent be?

Perhaps at that time—

“Everyone must die!”
