It is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and there is already some moisture in the mountains. The rain and mist in the forest are like continuous rain, and it doesn't take a moment for a cotton robe to be soaked on your body. No one wants to go into the mountains at this time.

Poor mountain people will also take shelter at home for a day or two.

Ji Ruochen was sitting under an ancient tree. His clothes were all soaked through. A few strands of messy hair were hanging down from his forehead. He looked very embarrassed. His face was pale and he was obviously injured, but his breathing was still long and even.

Yuan was still abundant. He untied his Taoist robe and frowned as he looked at a mark on his right chest. The mark was the size of a palm, and it was a clear picture of the Eight Diagrams. The hexagram was burnt black, which was particularly dazzling among the white and smooth skin.

As soon as his finger touched the hexagram, a line of green smoke immediately appeared on his fingertip, and the skin on his finger was burnt black. Although the scar was not big, the wind and fire energy contained in it was extremely fierce, as if

He has gained some spirituality and is looking around to devour blood and flesh. However, there is a layer of faint green light around the scar, which covers the wind and fire energy and prevents it from hurting the surrounding flesh and blood. The green light is actually weaker than the wind and fire energy.

It took two layers, but its staying power was long-lasting, weak and not scattered, and there was no sign of rupture at all.

Ji Ruochen calmed down. Although the intensity of the Three Purities True Qi that he had cultivated through hard training was much weaker, it was still growing and growing, and he could use the weak against the strong without falling behind. This showed how powerful the Three Purities True Secrets were.

Seeing that the injury was stable, Ji Ruochen sneered, covered his clothes, and exhaled a wisp of green energy. The aura around him gradually converged and disappeared into the vegetation of heaven and earth.

After a moment, the wind in the forest suddenly picked up, and a beast roar came from a distance, causing leaves all over the mountain to fall like rain! The lingering sound of the beast's roar was still rippling, and the light in the clouds in the distance flashed, and several figures appeared. In the blink of an eye,

When they reached the top of this mountain forest, they all stopped. The first one was a skinny Taoist, who was Kuzhu.

Withered bamboo looked at the green and lush mountain forest below, his eyes gleaming, and the anger in his heart surged like a wave! Just a moment ago, Ji Ruochen's aura completely disappeared from his senses, like a fish returning to the sea, leaving no trace behind.

Overcast clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and rain and fog began to drift.

On the surface, the withered bamboo was as motionless as a mountain. Secretly, he had already mobilized his true energy and used seven or eight ways to find Qi. His spiritual thoughts passed through the mountains and forests below in waves, but he couldn't find Ji Ruochen's breath.

Come.

This is already the fourth day that Ku Zhu has led his people to track down Ji Ruochen.

On the first day, Ku Zhu and others caught up with Ji Ruochen. However, this little thief was extremely cunning. Although his skills were not high, he could move quickly and was good at hiding. It was really difficult to catch his whereabouts. After chasing and escaping like this,

The crowd circled around in the mountains and forests for hundreds of miles for a whole day. Although Kuzhu couldn't catch up with Ji Ruochen, he didn't let him escape.

At nightfall, Ku Zhu and the others still refused to give up. No matter how good Ji Ruochen was, after chasing him for so long, I thought he was already exhausted and could not escape any further. When I thought of the huge piece of Earthly Divine Iron, all the monks

My heart felt hot, and my true energy seemed to have grown three points out of thin air.

Everyone was searching vigorously when they suddenly heard a thunderous rumble! When they looked back in shock, they saw Ji Ruochen rising from the mist in the forest mountain like a ghost, with his black hair flying and his face like frost, silently walking towards the outermost one.

The monk rushed at him so fast that no one could save him!

The monk's moral character was not low, and he had already noticed Ji Ruochen's arrival without anyone reminding him. He shouted, and a line of blood shot out from between his eyebrows. With the catalysis of his own essence and blood, the seven protective magic weapons around his body lit up one by one. In an instant, There was no leakage in time. He looked at Ji Ruochen with a sneer. He had already formed a Taoist formula with his left hand. As soon as he locked Ji Ruochen's figure, a bolt of thunder and fire would strike down.

While still in the air, Ji Ruochen pulled out the iron rod from behind and swept across his waist with a light swing.

Just like thousands of fireworks blooming, the monk's seven protective magic weapons exploded at the same time, and then his body was like a fallen leaf, floating feebly and retreating. His robe on his chest suddenly tore open, and a bit of hot blood from his heart burst out of his chest, and was immediately sucked by the iron rod. without!

The cultivators were horrified! The Qibao was instantly defeated. This inconspicuous iron rod turned out to be so powerful that it was unstoppable!

"The Earth's Divine Iron! It is indeed the Earth's Divine Iron! It's such a big one..." A low growl with a changed tone came, and the well-informed old man couldn't help shouting out as soon as he saw the iron rod. .

After striking out with a stick, Ji Ruochen turned around and walked away without caring about the life or death of the Taoist priest. The green Taoist robe was fluttering in the wind and was already dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye.

Only then did all the monks react. They all used magic weapons and techniques. All kinds of lights, colors, mist, thunder and fire hit the sky, but they were all in vain. The dense forest with a radius of 100 feet was flattened, but Ji Ruochen had already left. Far.

At this moment, they saw with their own eyes a huge piece of the Earth's Divine Iron. All the fatigue on the monks' bodies was wiped away. They had long forgotten the horror and fear just now. They shouted and chased after each other with their most powerful magic weapons. After going down, he didn't even bother to take care of the corpse of his companion that had just been broken into Ji Ruochen's hands.

Kuzhu, who had the highest level of cultivation, did not rush to pursue him. Ji Ruochen succeeded in the sneak attack, but when he escaped with his stick, his body suddenly stagnated for some reason. Kuzhu was a master of Taoism, so he immediately seized the opportunity and used his most proud spell, Qiankun Yuyang Seal. This seal contains the two powers of wind and fire. The most powerful thing is that it is vaguely connected to the mind of the withered bamboo. Its power is ever-changing. It is extremely difficult for people in China and India to completely drive it away from the body. They can only let it erode the true essence of flesh and blood. And this seal Needless to say, people from China and India cannot escape the pursuit of Kuzhu.

Ku Zhu came to the monk who fell to the ground, sighed secretly, and wanted to collect the magical relics on his body so that he could hand them over to his fellow disciples in the future. When he looked at them, Ku Zhu suddenly shook his whole body!

The monk's eyes were wide open, the last hint of a sneer still lingering on the corner of his mouth, and his face was frozen in the moment before his death. It seemed that until his death, he had not been able to react to Ji Ruochen's fatal blow.

The drizzle is like silk.

"The Earth's Divine Iron, alas, the Earth's Divine Iron..." The withered bamboo stood in the air, murmuring.

From the day Ji Ruochen escaped, he led everyone to pursue him for another three days and three nights. Ku Zhu was fully confident that Ji Ruochen had indeed been struck by his Qiankun Yuyang Seal. In the past three days, if he hadn't been determined to stay in Qiankun Yuyang The true energy in the seal has a sense, and Ji Ruochen may have escaped long ago. However, his sense is intermittent, intermittently long and short, so to this day he has not been able to catch up with Ji Ruochen. From the bottom of his heart, Kuzhu also secretly I somewhat admire Ji Ruochen. This little Taoist priest suffered from wind and fire day and night. Ordinary monks could not bear the pain for a quarter of an hour, but he could endure it for three days! This kind of perseverance and endurance is truly unique.

Murderous intent surged in Kuzhu's heart. If he didn't get rid of this mysterious little Taoist at this time, with his perseverance, he would be in serious trouble in the future.

There was a chill in his narrow eyes, and he patrolled the mountains and forests through the misty rain, patiently waiting for the moment when he sensed the Qiankun Yuyang Seal. The other monks did not have such patience, and had already dispersed on their own, starting to search in the surrounding forests.

Because of the lessons learned from past experiences, the cultivators worked in pairs so that they could take care of each other.

For some reason, the monk's sneer before his death reappeared in Ku Zhu's mind again and again, and he couldn't get it away. Ku Zhu felt vaguely that he seemed to have overlooked something. But no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of anything in his mind.

Where does the uneasiness come from.

At this moment, a cry of pain suddenly came from the distance, and it was obvious that another monk had been poisoned.

Kuzhu Goat's beard moved, and he wanted to rush over, but he sensed that the monk had enough real energy and did not seem to have been seriously injured, so he endured it.

In the distant forest, a fat middle-aged monk cursed loudly while reluctantly pulling out a wooden arrow from his ribs. The wooden arrow had a faint green light and was engraved with several runes. It was obviously very heavily painted.

of poison.

Hearing him yelling, the cultivators scattered around gathered around. Everyone worked together, and in a blink of an eye they found the place where the wooden arrows were fired. It was a simple but exquisite mechanism, powered by a steel spring, and supplemented by a simple

The magic circle is used to enhance the power. The wooden arrow is made of natural material and is silent when shot. The runes engraved on it are armor-breaking spells that are designed to break the body protection method. The poison is also a powerful medicine. The fat monk

His face was gray, and he was cursing, applying medicine, and swallowing pills to stop the bleeding. He was in a hurry. Looking at the beads of sweat on his head, he was in quite a lot of pain.

Seeing his miserable state, everyone yelled at Tao Te Sect, saying that old people don't practice Taoism and young people don't teach it. Those sanctimonious real people don't have any good things. That's why they taught such an insidious and unscrupulous little demon.

Everyone cursed for a moment, and suddenly one person exclaimed in shock: "Why did he set up such a trap? It can't kill anyone! Could it be... a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?!"

When they heard the words "Tiaohu Lishan", everyone was shocked and looked at the dead bamboo in the distance. Even though they had excellent eyesight, the rain and fog were all over the sky, and the dead bamboo several miles away was just a blurry figure in their eyes.

.

Seeing the withered bamboo, everyone felt calm in their hearts. They laughed and wondered how powerful that little demon could be. How dare he sneak attack the withered bamboo that had already reached the realm of the Supreme Pure Spiritual Immortal?

With a sneer on his face, Kuzhu thought the same thing, although he didn't understand why the little demon's fighting power was far beyond the level that his humble path should have.

"Perhaps it's some kind of Tao Te Sect's secret method that can hide the aura..." Ku Zhu comforted himself secretly, but the uneasiness in his heart couldn't go away no matter what, and it became more and more intense.

The withered bamboo's beard and hair were raised, and a pair of long eyebrows kept beating. A shiver rose from the bottom of the spine, rising all the way up, until the top of the bamboo exploded. In an instant, the withered bamboo was like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, with cold hair all over its body.

Upright, the true energy rose rapidly and uncontrollably. Then the rain and mist that had been shielded by the Taoist method from a few feet away rushed towards the face, making the withered bamboo Taoist robe wet.

Withered bamboo suddenly shuddered, feeling as if countless ice needles were piercing into the bone marrow from his skin, and said secretly: "So this rain is so cold..." Suddenly another thought came to his mind, and in an instant it was like thousands of thunderbolts.

The sea of ​​consciousness exploded, and the withered bamboo was stunned into silence!

Jia Sidao's remains and the monk's frozen sneer at the moment of death appeared alternately, and the cycle went back and forth faster and faster. The effort of just one thought had been transformed thousands of times, and finally they completely overlapped.

The extremely divine iron point broke through Jia Sidao's body-protecting Taoism with unparalleled metal power, and then caused his true energy to turn into fire and spontaneously ignite, which was the attribute of wood. When he killed the monk, the stick floated lightly with the

The rain and fog all over the sky merged into one, and murderous intent was not revealed until the last moment. This is clearly the purest water element! Being able to switch so freely between the three natures of metal, wood, and water is definitely not something that an ordinary piece of earthly divine iron can do on its own.

The functions it possesses are not something that Ji Ruochen's Taoist realm can achieve.

"This...this is..." Before Kuzhu could think clearly, there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, like a needle pricking him!

At the critical moment, Ku Zhu shouted loudly, and an ancient jade finger on his left hand suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of colorful mysterious light, protecting Ku Zhu's whole body. The explosive force of the finger was so fierce that it also exploded Ku Zhu's three fingers.

It must be shattered. After the five-color mysterious light is mixed into the flesh and blood of the withered bamboo, the light first brightens and then fades, and then turns into a gray color. The originally distinct five elements of Tao power merge into one, and the power is further enhanced. This chaotic mysterious jade ring is made of withered bamboo.

The magic weapon used to save one's life can withstand a full-strength attack from a Taoist priest who lives in the realm of gods and gods!

The withered bamboo turned around like the wind, only to see the rain and mist in front of it splitting to both sides. Ji Ruochen slowly emerged from the rain and hit his eyebrows with a stick!

Ji Ruochen is obviously right in front of him, but if he closes his eyes, Ku Zhu will only feel that there is an empty space in front of him. He cannot be found at all. He cannot lock in any of his breath, and many powerful Taoist techniques cannot be used at all. Here he is.

How to tell the difference between life and death?! Withered bamboo spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Ruochen's movements seemed to be slow but were actually very fast. The stick flew from the sky, and Kuzhu was not allowed to dodge or counterattack. As soon as the iron rod touched the Chaos Mysterious Jade Technique used to protect Kuzhu's body, a ball of black light immediately emerged from the tip of the stick.

Wherever the light touches, the chaotic energy of the withered bamboo body immediately returns from gray to multicolored mysterious light. Then the different mysterious lights completely merge with the black light according to the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint, and then explode!

boom!

A raging fireball with a radius of dozens of feet appeared in the sky, rising upwards.

In the fierce fire, looking at the oncoming iron rod, Kuzhu's eyes showed a look of despair, and he gave up resistance completely. He just used all his strength to sense the Qiankun Yuyang Seal on Ji Ruochen's body, and urged him to activate it!

A pillar of fire shot out from Ji Ruochen's chest. The wind and fire were mixed with countless pieces of flesh and blood. There was a hole as big as a bowl in his chest, exposing the bones! However, Ji Ruochen's eyes were as clear as water, and they were not the flesh and blood at all.

It's my own, I just focused on hitting it out with one stick.

The stick went towards the center of the dead bamboo's eyebrows, but landed on the back of the head. The iron rod was instantly retracted, and a small hole as big as a needle tip was opened on the back of the dead bamboo's head. A drop of life essence blood spurted out and was sucked away by the iron rod.

.

In an instant, the smoke dissipated and the fire subsided.

The surface of the withered bamboo was ashen, the skin was ashen, and the flesh and blood all over his body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. He could no longer freeze in the air and fell to the ground.

Ji Ruochen stood in the air, not even looking at the withered bamboo. He only pointed at the stunned monks a few miles away and said calmly: "I will kill you and the whole clan, old and young, in order to repay you today!"

After saying this, Ji Ruochen stepped on the clouds and left, dressed in green clothes and instantly disappeared into the rain and mist.

When he was about to fall to the ground, all the flesh and blood in Kuzhu's body had shrunk, and he was walking like a mummy. Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, and he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "It turns out... that divine iron already has spiritual consciousness! He was defeated by this peerless world.
Chapter completed!
