In the Xueshuo Sect, on the Ancient Spring Platform, Wen Qingxiang watched as the two beams of light disappeared into the void one after the other. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.
After a while, he stood up abruptly and came to a blood jade wall. With a wave of his hand, a dozen pearls on both sides shone brightly and gathered on the stone wall. After a while, a handsome Daoist appeared and said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, what's the matter?"
Wen Qingxiang bowed and said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, I would like to ask the sect to open the seal of the cave and suppress the Six Yin Demon Bug."
The Daoist frowned and said, "The demon bug is endless. As long as Sima Quan rushes back, it will evolve again. It doesn't matter how many there are. I know that Zhang Yan of Qincang is fighting with him. Why not wait until the battle is over before we act?"
Wen Qingxiang said, "If Zhang Yan of Qincang School makes a move, Sima Quan will definitely die. This is the best time to eliminate the Six Yin Demon Bug. If we do it later, there will be trouble in the future."
The Daoist thought for a while and said, "That's right. Zhang Yan's fighting ability is far better than his peers, and he is good at escaping. It won't be easy for Sima Quan to escape from him. But what is the trouble that junior apprentice-brother mentioned?"
Wen Qingxiang said, "Sima Quan is an Extraterrestrial Demon, and it is difficult to kill him completely. Moreover, he is an Elder of the Nether Spring Sect. He will leave a way out for himself. If his Extraterrestrial Demon Body is destroyed, he will let his disciples or clones control the demon bug. It won't be easy for us to act then. Sima Quan is being chased by Zhang Yan of Qincang and has no time to worry about other things.
The Daoist thought for a while and said, "Do you know how many precious materials were used to seal the demon bug?"
Wen Qingxiang said, "Yes. If I make a mistake and want to seal the demon bug again, the Ancient Spring Platform can make up for all the missing parts."
The Daoist looked at him and said meaningfully, "That won't be necessary. Since I've allowed you to do this, I won't let you bear the responsibility alone. However, you shouldn't tell your fellow Daoists outside of the sect about this matter. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it won't be easy to explain it to your fellow Daoists. "
Wen Qingxiang immediately bowed and said, "I understand."
In the Virtual Sky. Sima Quan was desperately trying to escape.
Once he activated the Shapeless Transformation, unless he encountered a demon-subduing treasure, even a true killing weapon would not be able to do anything to him. If it wasn't for the fact that this technique consumed too much of his mana, he would have used it the moment he saw Zhang Yanshi. Why would he wait until he was right in front of him?
Although Zhang Yan was only chasing after him as a sword light and was far away from his real body, the sword had already fused with his soul and was where the sword was. Everything he saw could be reflected in his heart. Just Now, Sima Quan had suddenly disappeared from his heart. Immediately, he knew that he had used a formless transformation.
He was already prepared for the Art of Invisibility. With a command of his mind, the sword light suddenly flew up and spun in the air, releasing rays of dazzling brilliance in all directions.
Sima Quan was not far away. When he was hit by the light, he felt his body tremble. However, he was forced out from the Shapeless Transformation.
This technique was called 'Sword Heart True Image'. It was a small magical power that Zhang Yan had deduced for two years. It was specially used to break through the illusions and shapeless transformations of demonic creatures.
However, if the enemy's cultivation level was high and his magical power was deep, he might not be able to force him to show up immediately. Therefore, the final result depended on the cultivation level of both parties. In this comparison, he was superior.
Sima Quan was forced to show up, and he felt even more fearful. He deeply felt that Zhang Yan's methods were extremely restrained. It was obvious that he had come prepared. He did not dare to turn back to fight with him, and his speed of escape was much faster than before.
However, the sword light chasing after him refused to let him go and continued to chase after him.
Thousands of miles away, Zhang Yan shook his hand and released the Moon Crossing Flying Raft. Then, he stood on it and followed from afar.
Using this flying raft to travel through the void, he did not expend his mana. No matter where the Sky Demon went, he was not afraid. As long as there was a sword light chasing after him, he was not afraid of losing his opponent.
He had once heard that the Shaoqing Extreme Sword lineage had a magical power called 'Heaven and Earth Close'. It was said that when this technique was connected to the extreme, no matter where the cultivator split the sword light to, as long as he was still within this world, he would be able to travel there in an instant. It was extremely mysterious.
If he knew this magical power and mastered it, he would be able to catch up in a short period of time. However, he cultivated the Dao of Sword Transformation, and this lineage's sword technique emphasized on the method of splitting and combining. Even if Shaoqing was willing to pass down the aforementioned magical power, he would not be able to use it. Therefore, he could only follow the prescribed order and chase along the way.
In reality, this was not disadvantageous to him. If Sima Quan did not want to stop, and did not have any Void Traversing Artifact, then as long as he continued, he would be able to exhaust Sima Quan to death even without fighting.
The two of them chased like this, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Sima Quan looked back, and saw that the sword light was still steadily following behind him. It was neither fast nor slow, and he suddenly felt powerless.
He had already faintly guessed that Zhang Yan had some kind of treasure on him, and was not afraid of exhausting himself in the void. He thought to himself, "If this continues, even if I don't fight him, I will be defeated by the Outer Sky Poison Fire and Fierce Wind. I need to think of a way."
He thought for a while, and said, "I was waiting to use this item when I came back, but it seems like it won't work now."
He reached out and patted the pendant hanging on his waist. After a short while, a green light flashed, and actually covered his body, instantly isolating him from the Outer Sky Poison Fire and Fierce Wind.
This was not an item, but a Primal Essence Stone that he took out from the palace cauldron.
Two years ago, after fighting with Yuan Yang Sect's Wu Zhenren, he thought that this item would be of great use, so he studied it in detail, and found out that it could help people traverse the void.
If he did not borrow the help of the seven palace cauldrons when he came back, he would have long discovered the secret within. Because it could not be kept in his sleeves, he could only make it into an accessory and hang it on his body.
"It's a pity that Zhang Yan came here without any warning. I only brought one out, but I don't know how long it will last."
Zhang Yan saw his strange movements, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought to himself, "Since this person has a treasure that can allow him to traverse the void, then I need to change my original plan."
He activated his Divine Will, and the sword light that was chasing behind Sima Quan suddenly flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up to him and slashed down.
Sima Quan couldn't help but feel shocked. If it was a normal treasure, then it would be fine. But how could he dare to let this kind of killing weapon hit him? He suddenly twisted his body, and let it pass.
The sword light missed, and turned around in the air, and caught up to him again. He could only dodge again, but this entanglement caused his body to inevitably be delayed.
Sima Quan thought to himself, "Not good, if I'm blocked here, when Zhang Yan catches up, then all my previous escape would have been a waste of energy."
Thinking to this point, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes. His body shook, and several demons appeared in front of him, blocking. He flicked his sleeve, and used his fastest speed to pull away from the sword light.
Just Now, although he was forced out of the formless transformation by the sword light, he also saw that the range of the light was only a few miles. So as long as he could escape this range in time, and then turn invisible, the opponent would not be able to force him to show himself, and the possibility of finding him would be very small.
But the sword light wasn't blocked as he had hoped, and instead, it shook slightly. Several sword lights split off to meet the demons, but the most dazzling sword light was still rushing towards him. It wasn't willing to let him pass so easily.
Sima Quan took a look, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow. He suddenly realized that perhaps because Zhang Yan's real body wasn't here, and he was only controlling it with his Divine Will, when the sword light split off, there would be a momentary pause. Although this short period of time wasn't eye-catching, if he could make good use of it, he could increase the distance between them.
He thought for a while, and finally came to a conclusion. Just Now, he had to do it at least six times, and each time, he had to maintain his own speed to match or exceed the sword light. Only then would he be able to achieve this plan.
But he didn't dare to think about it immediately. It wasn't that he was worried that he couldn't do it, but he was afraid that Zhang Yan would see through it, and use some method to stop him.
After thinking for a while, he had an idea.
He suddenly shouted, and his body sped up a lot. At the same time, he left behind dozens of demons behind, wanting to trick the sword light into stopping.
But out of expectation, the sword light didn't use the separation and reunion technique this time. Instead, it shot forward, leaving more than half of the demons behind, and the few that blocked its way were directly crushed by the sword qi.
Seeing that the situation didn't develop as he had imagined, Sima Quan's expression couldn't help but stiffen. Since he had already thought of a plan, he couldn't bear to give up just like that.
He gritted his teeth, and once again split off a few doppelgangers. They weren't as easy to kill as the demons, and they were as fast as him. If the flying sword ignored them, then he could command the doppelgangers to escape far away, and then use the Legacy Technique to turn around and easily escape from the battlefield.
But if the doppelgangers were killed while blocking, he would definitely lose a portion of his Fa Li. But in order to successfully escape, he had to pay this price.
Sure enough, it was as he had expected. The sword light trembled, and spat out several sharp rays to deal with the doppelgangers that were charging at him.
Sima Quan's spirit rose, and he took advantage of this moment to activate his Fa Li. He suddenly flew more than half a mile away, and then shook out several doppelgangers.
In a short period of time, he did this five times in a row, and thought that he had successfully left the sword light a sufficient distance away. He snorted, and once again turned into the shapeless transformation.
Zhang Yan saw everything clearly through the [Mental Reflection], and he couldn't help but smile.
Just Now, when he used the [Sword of Truth], because Sima Quan wasn't far away, he didn't use too much Fa Li. This wasn't because he didn't have enough power, but because he had already reached the realm of mastery in using Fa Li. If it was necessary, he wouldn't waste any more.
Now that he saw it disappear again, he immediately activated his Divine Will. The sword light suddenly emitted a clear light, and in an instant, it washed through the world within a hundred miles.
Sima Quan originally thought that he had successfully escaped, but who knew that his body suddenly trembled, as if he had been hit by something. He was once again forced out by the [Sword of Truth], and for a moment, he was in a sorry state.
He looked around, and saw that the clear light had spread out in all directions, and the area it covered was far beyond what he had expected. His expression turned ugly, and he didn't know that he had calculated wrongly.
He secretly gritted his teeth and said, "This Zhang Yan's Fa Li is really too high, and no one knows what he has up his sleeves. If I continue to run like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. If my Fa Li is used up, then I'll be at his mercy. Why don't I take advantage of the fact that I still have Fa Li, and fight him head on, and see if I can force him to retreat. Even if I really lose, I've already prepared an escape route. At worst, I'll just make a comeback in the future."
If he could escape, of course he wouldn't stay, but now that there was no possibility of that, he could only choose to turn back and fight with his life on the line.
He stood still, opened his mouth, and spat out a ball of thick black fog. Not only did it envelop his entire body, but it also enveloped the surrounding hundred miles. At the same time, his body shook, and more than ten doppelgangers appeared within it.
Although this Qi couldn't escape the pursuit of the sword light, it contained an evil and filthy Qi that could erode the spirituality of the sword. If the sword light chased after him like before, he could use the Phase Reversal Technique to come and go. He was confident, but in a situation where he wouldn't harm a single doppelganger, the sword light would be tainted in the future.
However, when the sword light saw that he had stopped, it didn't chase after him anymore. Instead, it hung in the void, and stared at him, not too close, but not too far away.
Sima Quan couldn't help but feel depressed. He could predict that if he took the initiative to attack now, the sword light would definitely retreat.
However, he didn't plan to escape, and there was no need for him to get entangled with the sword light. He just blindly urged on the black fog. When the fog expanded to a thousand miles in size, he saw a flying raft that was a hundred feet in size coming over from afar. A handsome Daoist stood with his hands behind his back at the top of the pagoda. His gaze was deep and unfathomable as he looked over.
Sima Quan's heart jumped. He didn't think that Zhang Yan would have such a flying treasure. If he continued to escape Just Now, when his Fa Li was exhausted, he would definitely die. He retreated a few steps, and stared straight ahead, ready to deal with his opponent's attack at any time.
When Zhang Yan got closer, he took a look at the big ball of black fog. With a thought, a vast amount of profound Qi spread out from behind him, continuously invading the void. Very quickly, it spread out for thousands of miles. Then, the Profound Qi Sea churned, and countless small Five Elements Devil Slaying Divine Thunder leaped into the sky, and like hail, they covered the sky and earth as they struck forward.
Sima Quan's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes couldn't help but show fear.
After fighting with Martial Sage Wu, he thought that he had seen the methods of the Celestial Paradise Master. However, at this moment, when he saw the earth-shattering power of Zhang Yan's attack, he felt that the Fa Li of the two of them couldn't be compared at the same place.
Unless he could be like Douzhan last time, and get in front of him and attack his Sea of Consciousness, there was no way he could win. Otherwise, he couldn't think of a way to defeat this kind of person.
His thoughts turned quickly, and his body retreated. In a split second, he retreated from the fog. Then, with a face full of regret, he took out a Demon Jade Scroll. He made a hand sign, and his body shook. Suddenly, it turned into thousands of demon bodies, and flew in all directions. At the same time, the Jade Scroll also made a cracking sound, and broke into two.
