Cultivating immortality begins with formations.

"roar--"

The golden-scaled giant lizard roared repeatedly, its scarlet eyes flashing with murderous intent.

As soon as the golden-scaled giant lizard darted out of the cave, the Five Elements Mist Array that Lu Yuan had already set up was activated, and only a few feet of mist surrounded it.

Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Techniques were activated.

Ice spikes and crimson flames appeared almost simultaneously, one above and one below, attacking the golden-scaled giant lizard.

After experiencing a sensation of both ice and fire... the golden-scaled giant lizard roared in pain, and the fishy wind it spewed from its mouth dispersed the surrounding mist.

The dispersed mist quickly gathered again.

But in the instant the mist dissipated, the golden-scaled giant lizard had already discerned its location, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced towards Jiang Zhi, who was closest to it.

But before it could leap up, the boulder beneath it suddenly turned into soft mud, leaving it with nowhere to lean on.

With another sudden stomp, without leaping into the air, he shattered the boulder beneath him.

The beast's body rolled down as well.

The golden-scaled monitor lizard was still tumbling through the air, its forelimbs outstretched, its distinct knuckles gripping the cliff face.

The beast's claws, as black as ink jade, embedded themselves deeply, immediately stabilizing its stance.

However, his body was once again shrouded in mist.

Lu Yuan kept the fog's range under control, following the golden-scaled giant lizard and preventing it from discerning its location.

Now the other party has lost track of the two of them again.

But he hesitated for only a moment.

His limbs moved swiftly across the cliff face as if walking on flat ground, and then he rushed towards Jiang Zhi.

The latter had already chanted incantations and cast spells, and a pair of gilded hammers transformed into meteors, striking the head of the golden-scaled giant lizard.

Bang!

The violent collision caused surrounding rocks to collapse, sending dust and stones flying everywhere.

Jiang Zhi retrieved the gilded hammer, placed her feet on the protruding rocks of the cliff, and like a nimble cheetah, used her long legs to suddenly exert force, dodging the golden-scaled giant lizard that charged at high speed.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan maintained control of the Five Elements Mist Array while casting the Profound Fire Spell, sending four or five fireballs accurately towards the landing point of the Golden Scale Giant Lizard.

His Xuanhuo Spell is quite powerful, and it's particularly fast, being a continuous-fire mode.

Several fireballs exploded on the back of the golden-scaled giant lizard, igniting flames that filled the sky.

The golden-scaled giant lizard let out a roar several times more painful than before, and its gaping maw once again whipped up a gust of foul wind, scattering the flames.

The flames dissipated.

Large patches of the golden scales on its back had rotted away, and its luster was somewhat dim compared to other parts of its body.

"Sister Jiang, on its back."

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, having discovered the weak point in its scales.

"They're here."

Jiang Zhi leaped into the air, riding the wind to the top of the Golden Scale Giant Lizard. Her waist arched backward, resembling a crescent moon, and she gathered immense power to slam down.

The golden-scaled giant lizard also suddenly exerted force with its waist, dragging its long, round, hammer-shaped tail, and slammed it into the gilded hammer in Jiang Zhi's hand.

when!

Jiang Zhi felt an immense force strike her from both hands, nearly losing her grip on the gilded hammer. Her jade-like face turned crimson, and she lost control of her body, being sent flying.

The golden-scaled giant lizard was utterly enraged. Taking advantage of the momentum from dragging its long tail, it quickly turned around, and a beam of golden light shot out from the sharp horn on its forehead.

The golden light was almost invisible to the naked eye in the sunlight.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was observing the situation closely. When he saw golden light appearing on the sharp horn on the giant lizard's forehead, he summoned three golden talismans.

Three golden lights formed three golden walls, blocking Jiang Zhi's way.

But the power of this golden light was terrifying. It almost ignored the golden wall and pierced through it in an instant, heading straight for Jiang Zhi's face.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhi had already stabilized her body and activated the low-grade spiritual artifact, the Moon White Undergarment, causing her to radiate a moon-like glow.

Golden light shot out onto the moonlight, and Jiang Zhi's body trembled slightly, but she was unharmed.

After the golden lizard emitted its golden light, the golden scales on its body dimmed slightly.

"You're out of ideas, aren't you? It's my turn."

Jiang Zhijiao shouted, and her two hammers clashed in front of her, bursting forth with thousands of golden rays that shot out rapidly.

Enveloped by thousands of golden rays, the golden-scaled giant lizard's body jingled and tinkled as it blocked them all.

Its defensive capabilities are indeed astonishing.

However, the scales on its back that had not yet fully grown in became its biggest weakness at this moment.

zizi...

The golden light shone into the previously festering area, exploding like firecrackers, tearing open flesh the size of a fist.

Instantly, the golden-scaled giant lizard was covered in blood.

The roar that had been like thunder just moments before had now turned into a painful scream, and blood was gushing from the wound on his back.

Lu Yuan manipulated the Five Elements Mist Array, unleashing a frenzied output of spiritual power, unleashing a barrage of Five Elements spells at the wound on its back.

Not long after.

The ice pick pierced his body, condensing into a layer of frost.

The golden monitor lizard's limbs became stiff, its movements slowed down, and its speed in climbing the cliff was much slower than before.

The golden-scaled giant lizard unleashed its full demonic power.

The golden scales on its back stood up like butterfly wings, each scale spreading out in all directions, each filled with the demonic power of Geng metal.

Clang!

A short, violent metallic whistling sound, like hundreds of bows being released simultaneously.

Almost simultaneously, the scales detached from the flesh, transforming into countless golden streams of light that burst forth in all directions.

"Too fast!"

The naked eye could only see a layer of golden fan-shaped light curtain, which exploded in mid-air with a whistling and sharp sound, as if it were about to sever everything.

The protective aura generated by the Xuan Guang Ring shattered immediately after blocking several golden scales.

The golden light that the golden talisman transformed into could only last for a moment.

At this moment, Lu Yuan knew that the Golden Scale Giant Lizard's ultimate move was something he, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, could not withstand.

Fortunately, his mastery of the Five Elements Escape Technique gave him a chance to survive.

"Don't worry about me."

Lu Yuan shouted, stopping Jiang Zhi, who was about to come to his aid.

Then he used the Five Elements Escape Technique, plunged into the cliff, and used the power of earth escape to hide inside, disappearing from sight.

Seeing that he was able to protect himself, Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with the scales that resembled a shower of golden rain, she wielded her gilded hammer with tremendous force. Even with its flaws, the clear moonlight emanating from this low-grade spiritual weapon was enough to withstand the attack.

In contrast, the Golden Scaled Giant Lizard was extremely weak after using this move.

It's more like a hedgehog with its quills removed, crawling along the cliff face, about to burrow into a cave to hide.

However, its speed at this moment is far less than before.

Jiang Zhi broke through the sky full of golden scales and arrived at the cave entrance. She swung her gilded hammer down hard at the wound on its back where blood was flowing.

boom!

The golden-scaled monitor lizard cried out in anguish, its back bursting open in large chunks of flesh, and it plummeted towards the cliff like a shooting star.

"Ha ha……"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for eliminating the demon for this old man."

Suddenly, a triumphant voice echoed from the void.

A figure suddenly appeared in mid-air below, caught the dying golden-scaled giant lizard, placed his palm on its forehead, and unleashed a lightning electric net, easily annihilating it.

The figure that suddenly appeared exuded an imposing aura, surrounded by an aura of power; it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

then.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator grabbed the Golden Scale Giant Lizard's forehead, gouged out a fist-sized demon core from the sharp corner of its head.

Having obtained the demon core, the Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly took to the air, intending to flee far away.

Just then, a mocking voice came from behind.

"Yeah?"
