Junior Leopard's Qi Power was like a rainbow, emitting a violent spirit from all over his body. The cyan sword light exploded from his body, but it didn't burst out. Instead, it surrounded him. At the same time, the boundless killing intent spread in all directions, and the ferocious intent was monstrous.
"This is …!"
Standing beside Junior Leopard, Golden Rooster felt it the most. At that moment, he even felt that Junior Leopard's body had disappeared from the world shrouded by the Free Will Demonic Smoke. The cyan light around Junior Leopard seemed to isolate him from this space. If it were not for the protection of Junior Leopard's Poison Cold Shield, he would definitely think that the Junior Leopard in front of him was just a phantom, and the real Junior Leopard had already left this space.
"Eh, a sword formation?"
The woman in white who was hiding in the dark was also amazed. She was also very surprised to see the strange effect caused by Junior Leopard's sword light. In terms of eyesight, she was better than Golden Rooster. She could tell at a glance that Junior Leopard's sword light had formed a formation in front of him. But she could not tell what kind of formation it was.
Naturally, she could not tell either. Junior Leopard had formed a part of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation with his Sword Qi. With his current cultivation and understanding of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, he could barely set up the Death Gate in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.
The Yin and Yang Dust Formation was a formation that combined attack and defense. But its real power could only be exerted when a complete formation was set up. The Death Gate that Junior Leopard had set up now, to put it bluntly, could only increase the attacking power of his Sword Qi.
But that was enough.
In the Death Gate, the Sword Qi flowed as one. This was not only the Sword Qi of his Silver Moon Sword Technique, but also the Sword Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
The Dragon Flying Technique flowed fiercely in his body, dividing the Sword Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword in the External Elixir between his eyebrows into countless tiny sword threads. Little by little, they integrated into the Silver Moon Sword Qi. Then, with the help of the Death Gate in the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the sword light around Junior Leopard was faintly visible. There was a trace of red blood light in the cyan light, and there was boundless violence in the coldness.
He was like a huge bomb that could explode at any time. The woman in white obviously saw the danger. She sneered, and the surrounding white fog suddenly condensed and squeezed in from all directions. This time, she used all her strength to fully exert the power of the Free Will Demonic Smoke. With Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster as the center, a huge white smoke ball with a diameter of no more than 10 feet was formed. Outside the smoke ball was Ma Tianchang's unscathed central camp.
Under the enormous pressure of the Free Will Demonic Smoke, the Poison Cold Shield could not bear it any longer. Even though Junior Leopard had used the Poison-absorbing Green Bead to condense the Poison Cold Shield and the poison intent in the Poison Cold Shield was shocking, it had not been long since it was refined. The connection between Junior Leopard and the Poison Cold Shield had not reached a perfect level. Most importantly, the woman's Free Will Demonic Smoke was a celestial device that was not inferior to the Poison Cold Shield. Moreover, her cultivation was much higher than Junior Leopard's. Therefore, under the full force of the woman, Junior Leopard's Poison Cold Shield finally showed signs of collapse.
"Golden Rooster, help me. Make a hole in the smoke!" Junior Leopard roared, his face red under the mask.
"Understood!"
Jin Yuquan also knew that this was the critical moment. He responded in a low voice. His eyes flashed, and the golden Gang Qi appeared outside his body again. He raised his claws and golden light burst forth.
Four Ultimate Golden Light Claws
Second Ultimate
Split the Sky
"Swish — —"
Golden Rooster's mouth widened as if he was tearing silk. Without Junior Leopard's Poison Cold Shield, he could not bear the enormous pressure of the Free Will Demonic Smoke even though he had the Gang Qi to protect his body. Most importantly, when his claws, which were covered in golden light, tore at the white smoke around him, it was as if he was tearing steel and iron. The seemingly light and misty Free Will Demonic Smoke was even harder than fine iron after it condensed.
Even though his Quadruple Golden Light Claws had reached a high level of mastery, he was still able to tear away the white mist. However, he was also severely injured. His fingertips ached, but he was too embarrassed to cry out. All he could do was grit his teeth and endure the pain as he tore a small hole in the surrounding Free Will Demonic Smoke.
Junior Leopard had been waiting for this opportunity.
After Jin Yuquan tore a hole in the Free Will Demonic Smoke, he let out a low grunt and a green light appeared on his body. The green sword-light around him suddenly condensed into one spot and turned into a sharp, blood-colored Sword Path that pierced the hole that Jin Yuquan had torn.
"Puff, puff, puff!" The sword light was extremely sharp. It pierced through the Free Will Demonic Smoke and gave off a light sound. In an instant, a large hole appeared in the steel-like Free Will Demonic Smoke.
"Let's go!" Junior Leopard stabbed out with his sword and pulled Jin Yuquan. Jin Yuquan's reaction was fast. The golden light on his body converged and turned into a thin layer of flowing golden light that stuck closely to his skin. He followed behind Junior Leopard.
As for Junior Leopard, he condensed the Poison Cold Shield into a thin layer and stuck it closely to himself. Then he rushed out of the big hole created by the sword light.
At this time, the Free Will Demonic Smoke had already condensed to an extremely high density. It had formed a large smoke ball with a diameter of 10 feet. Furthermore, it was centered around Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan. Hence, Junior Leopard's sudden burst of Sword Qi only needed to pierce through a distance of five feet.
This was a piece of cake for Junior Leopard's Sword Qi.
Although the Free Will Demonic Smoke could repair itself, it still required time to do so!
Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan followed closely behind the sword light and rushed out of the Free Will Demonic Smoke. One had Gang Qi to protect his body while the other had the Poison Cold Shield to protect his body. Their speed was also fast, so the distance of five feet could be covered in an instant. When they rushed out of the Free Will Demonic Smoke, the smoke ball that had a hole in it began to repair itself.
"Damn it!" The lady in white didn't expect Junior Leopard to suddenly explode with such great power. She cursed in a low voice and the white smoke ball exploded, enveloping the two of them again.
"Let's go!" Without thinking, Jin Yuquan shouted in a low voice. His body turned into a golden light and rushed out of the tent. Junior Leopard's sword light followed closely behind.
This time, the momentum of his charge was much greater than when he had sneaked in.
Two rays of light, one gold and one green, rushed out of the tent and tore it into pieces. This had already alarmed the experts in the surrounding army. Suddenly, the entire camp became restless. Dozens of figures soared from the camp, seemingly wanting to chase after Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan. However, when they saw the two rays of light rush into the clouds, these figures gave up the chase one by one.
Among them, the highest cultivation was only at Level Six. Their eyesight was not bad. To be able to soar into the clouds like these two rays of light meant that their cultivation was at least at Level Seven. That was because they had cultivated Gang Qi to be able to fly. Even though they were confident, how could the experts in the army catch up to them?
Therefore, all of them gave up the chase and returned to the camp. They began to surround the tent to check on the situation. The entire camp was in chaos.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah …!" Junior Leopard stood on the sword light with a wretched expression. His face was as pale as snow and his eyes were strange. The sword light under his feet trembled and looked extremely unstable.
It was indeed unstable. It would be strange if it was stable.
That blow just now seemed easy, but it had almost exhausted the Internal Qi of Junior Leopard's Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill. The remaining bit of Internal Qi could barely support the sword light under his feet.
Increasing the attack power of the Sword Qi exponentially was one of the functions of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation's Death Gate. Now, Junior Leopard had only learned this function. It was also with this feature that Junior Leopard had broken through the imprisonment of the Free Will Demonic Smoke.
However, if he wanted to activate the effect of the Death Gate, he would need to consume an astonishing amount of Sword Qi. Before this, Junior Leopard already knew that the Sword Qi transformed from his Jade Original Power Gang Spirit, which was at the peak of Level Six, was not enough to activate the power of the Death Gate of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. Only by mixing the Sword Qi of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword with it could he barely reach the minimum standard of using the Death Gate.
The result of this was that Junior Leopard only had the power of one blow.
The power of one blow.
After one blow, Junior Leopard's remaining bit of Internal Qi was only enough for him to barely fly on his sword. If he were to meet with a strong opponent at this time, he would have no choice but to use the strength of his body.
It was also for this reason that Junior Leopard finally understood the greatest advantage of External Elixir.
With External Elixir, it was equivalent to having another Dantian. His combat capability was also equivalent to increasing by one generation.
For ordinary people, practicing External Elixir might waste some time, but for Junior Leopard, there was no such problem. His External Elixir could practice on its own, and it could practice 24 hours a day without interruption. Such an advantage was incomparable to anyone else.
"It seems that using the External Elixir to practice the second mental cultivation method was a good choice!" Junior Leopard secretly rejoiced in his heart. He threw all the original trace of regret to the back of his mind. If he didn't use the External Elixir to practice Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill, how could he disguise himself as another person so easily?
Now, Xiao's identity was a rare sword practitioner. No matter how imaginative and clever those people in the martial arts world were, they would never think that Junior Leopard, who waved two big iron hammers all day long, was a sword practitioner with strong attack power.
No matter what, these two identities could not be linked together.
"It seems that I have to practice the Silver Moon Sword Technique diligently in the future. This identity of a sword practitioner is really f * cking useful!"
"How is it? Are you okay? "
Seeing Junior Leopard's pale face, his expression was also not good.
Today, he came to steal the ancient treasure. Unexpectedly, not only did he not get it, but he was also given the cold shoulder by Junior Leopard. This made him feel a little ashamed. He and Wang She were partners. Junior Leopard only temporarily replaced Wang She because Wang She was seriously injured. In other words, in this group of partners, he should be the leader.
But what about today?
His performance was far less eye-catching than Junior Leopard's. If Junior Leopard did not explode at the last moment, perhaps both of them would have been killed inside. This made him very depressed.
"I'm fine. I just used up too much strength!" Junior Leopard shook his head and slowly calmed his mind. At the same time, the sword light under his feet was swallowing and spitting cyan light. It faintly matched with the pulse of his Dantian. It began to adjust its breath automatically and recover pneuma.
Yes, recover pneuma.
Although the skull of the Dragon Chimera had broken the reef, the broken skull and his Flying Sword merged together, which was equivalent to another External Elixir of Junior Leopard. It inherited all the characteristics of the Dragon Chimera External Elixir, including the independent practice of Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill. Moreover, it was also a 24-hour non-stop practice.
The only difference was that compared with the Dragon Chimera Internal Elixir, the Flying Sword had one more process, which was to transform the Internal Qi of Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill into Silver Moon Sword Qi.
Therefore, the practice was a little slower than that of the Dragon Chimera External Elixir. However, this did not affect the overall situation at all.
"I say, Golden Rooster, what do you think? Do you want to go down again?"
"No!" Golden Rooster shook his head. He pushed away the clouds beside him and looked down. "You see, the whole camp has been alarmed. Ma Tianchang has also returned to the central camp. We have no chance at all!"
"You seem to be very afraid of Ma Tianchang!" Junior Leopard said with some curiosity. "Although he is the Governor of Yunzhou, he is just a Governor. There won't be too many experts around him. You …!"
"He is an expert above Level Nine!" Golden Rooster interrupted him and sneered. "Ma Tianchang's sect is mysterious. His cultivation has reached the peak of Level Nine. He is on the same level as the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan. Otherwise, why do you think the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan didn't dare to make a desperate attempt to assassinate Ma Tianchang?"
This was the first time Junior Leopard heard of this.
The Yunzhou Governor of Jin was actually an expert above Level Nine!
He had never thought of this before. He had always thought that there might be a Level Nine expert by Ma Tianchang's side to assist him. He did not expect that Ma Tianchang himself was an expert above Level Nine. No wonder no one dared to stop him for so many years when he stirred up trouble in Yunzhou!
Seeing a flash of surprise on Junior Leopard's face, Golden Rooster said again, "In fact, you don't have to worry so much. Although we didn't succeed in getting the Clear Glass Jade Bottle this time, we found out that Ma Tianchang's wife is actually a Lunar Fox of Heart. That's enough!"
"About this, I want to ask you. Are you really sure that the woman just now is from your Immortal Palace?"
"She should be the former Lunar Fox of Heart from the Immortal Palace!" Golden Rooster said. "I know the current Lunar Fox of Heart. Although her cultivation is high, she hasn't refined the Free Will Demonic Smoke, let alone used it so skillfully!"
"In other words, Lunar Fox of Heart is just her code name?"
"Yes, Lunar Fox of Heart is just a code name. Every official member of the Immortal Palace has a code name. I'm Sun Rooster of Head, and Wang She is Winged Fire Snake. He gave you the ring, so Lunar Fox of Heart calls you Little Fire Snake!"
"Lunar Fox of Heart, Sun Rooster of Head, Winged Fire Snake, this seems to be —!"
"28 constellations!" Golden Rooster said. "But now, the 28 constellations are not complete. With your current strength and means, you are qualified to be one of the 28 constellations. If you want, you can become an official member of the Immortal Palace at any time!"
"Only by becoming one of the 28 constellations can I be an official member?" Junior Leopard asked.
"Yes, only by being one of the 28 constellations can you be an official member of the Immortal Palace. And to become one of the 28 constellations, your cultivation has to reach at least Level Seven!"
"I haven't reached Level Seven yet!"
"You are a sword practitioner, and your attack power is far beyond that of an ordinary Level Seven expert. Besides, you have the Poison Cold Shield to protect you. In terms of strength, you are already above average among the 28 constellations. Now, even I am not sure that I can defeat you. If even you are not qualified, then what about me?"
"You're too humble!" Junior Leopard laughed and glanced at the ground. "So, your Immortal Palace really intends to pull me in. Otherwise, you wouldn't say so much to me, right?"
"Of course. Of course, everyone wants to pull in a talent like you. And it just so happens that our Immortal Palace knows a little more about you than others!" Golden Rooster laughed. Indeed, compared with other organizations, the Immortal Palace knew a little more about Junior Leopard. That was Xiao, Junior Leopard's second identity.
As for Junior Leopard's value, they naturally valued him more highly.
"Now there are 14 vacancies among the 28 constellations in the Immortal Palace. You can choose any of them!"
"Any of them? What do you mean? "Junior Leopard was a little puzzled." Are there other meanings in different constellations? "
"Each constellation corresponds to different martial arts, secret skills, special techniques, and celestial devices. Of course, some correspond to martial arts, some are secret skills, some are special techniques, and some are celestial devices. For example, my Sun Rooster corresponds to the Four Ultimate Claws of Golden Light. Heart Fox corresponds to the celestial device like Free Will Demonic Smoke. Wang She is a Winged Fire Snake and practices the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill of the Seven Wonderful Techniques!"
"Then what about the other constellations? What do the remaining 14 constellations correspond to? "Junior Leopard asked.
"This is a secret of the Immortal Palace. I can't talk about it. Of course, if you agree to join the Immortal Palace, it will naturally not be a secret!"
Allure, naked allure!
Tempting people to join with divine skills and secret skills!
If it were someone else, he would have joined without a second thought. Only a guy like Junior Leopard, who knew more than one kind of powerful secret skill and special technique, had some resistance to this.
"Hehe, Golden Rooster, this matter is too big. Let me think about it!"
"What's there to think about? There are only benefits to joining the Immortal Palace. The management of the Immortal Palace is very loose. It doesn't care about the private affairs of the members. Usually, there are not so many restrictions on us. The treatment is good. Moreover, if you regret it, you can quit at any time. You can come and go freely, just like the Heart Fox. There is no better organization than it! "
"Come and go freely?" Junior Leopard's heart skipped a beat. A strange expression appeared on his face. He looked at Golden Rooster and said, "I say, can I really come and go freely? Can I quit after practicing the martial arts of the Immortal Palace? "
"Of course not!" Golden Rooster hurriedly said, "However, after entering the Immortal Palace, if you really want to quit, you only need to pay the same price as what you get from the Immortal Palace for free. For example, I practice the Four Ultimate Golden Light Claws in the Immortal Palace. If I want to quit, I have to take out a martial arts skill that is not less valuable than the Four Ultimate Golden Light Claws of Immortal Palace, or something like a celestial device!"
"Then what about other benefits? For example, the reward I get from doing tasks! "
"Of course, it's still yours!" Golden Rooster said, "Of course, there's one more thing. You're not allowed to tell the secret of the Immortal Palace!"
"What about the martial arts I learned from the Immortal Palace?" Junior Leopard thought of the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill that Wang She passed on to him.
"Except for a few kinds, I can pass them on to others!" Golden Rooster said.
"So loose?" Junior Leopard was a little surprised.
"Would you casually pass on the profound martial arts you know to others?!" Golden Rooster sneered, "People in this world are all selfish. They want to keep good things for themselves and get more benefits. As for others, forget it!"
Junior Leopard heard this and suddenly understood. Indeed, not to mention others, he himself knew so many profound martial arts skills. However, except for the Seven Whirlwind Chop he got from the prairie to his brother-in-law, Wang Tianlei, he kept all the other martial arts in his hands and didn't tell anyone.
"It seems that the Immortal Palace has grasped the weakness of people's hearts and offered such loose conditions to attract all kinds of experts to join!" Junior Leopard thought to himself. He chatted with Golden Rooster for a while. From the information that Golden Rooster intentionally or unintentionally revealed, he finally had some understanding of the Immortal Palace's movement mode. The more he understood, the more he admired the Immortal Palace.
In a sense, the Immortal Palace was actually a very loose service organization. Its purpose was to serve the experts and bring them together with benefits, so that they could produce great power.
Even if someone withdrew from the Immortal Palace, they would not easily reveal everything about the Immortal Palace to outsiders after learning about its great strength and obtaining great benefits from it.
Because in an organization like the Immortal Palace, damaging the interests of the organization was equivalent to damaging the interests of everyone, and would inevitably face the backlash of everyone. Most importantly, in such a loose service organization, there shouldn't be a strict hierarchy. Even if there were other positions above the 28 constellations, the tasks of those in these positions were probably to accept and issue tasks. They wouldn't manage the 28 constellations. Therefore, there wouldn't be any messy things like disagreeing with each other, and there would rarely be power struggles and conflicts.
Because there was no power struggle, all the benefits had to be obtained by one's own strength.
More importantly, the various services provided by the Immortal Palace would save its members a lot of trouble.
When these experts got used to the services of the Immortal Palace, they would become more dependent on the services of the Immortal Palace. Thus, this seemingly loose organization was full of cohesion, which was even more solid and unbreakable than some powerful families and barons.
This was a mutual aid Freemasonry for experts above Level Seven, with strong vitality and explosive power. Joining it would only bring benefits and no harm!
After thinking this through, everything would be easy.
Junior Leopard knew very well that he couldn't resist this temptation.
