The reason why Fang Zhenlu was willing to take out the Golden Seal was because after trying for a long time, he found that the seal on it didn't budge at all. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking the seal in a short period of time, he completely gave up on the idea.
Realizing that it would be a disaster if he kept it in his hands, he panicked slightly and didn't want to keep it in his hands anymore. He was thinking about how to get rid of this disaster.
When he threw it to Zhang Yan, it was just a test. He didn't expect Zhang Yan to accept it. When he saw Zhang Yan accept it without any hesitation, he was also startled. Then he was overjoyed and thought to himself, "People say that a man's heart is insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. I was thinking too much. There really are people here who aren't afraid of death."
Seeing the Golden Seal fall into Zhang Yan's hands, the surrounding people avoided him as if they were avoiding a god of plague. They all looked at him with pity in their eyes.
How could it be taken so easily?
Once a Core Formation Stage cultivator was involved in a battle between Yuanying cultivators, it was easy to say that his life was in danger. Especially when there were two Devil Path cultivators who were skilled in various soul refining techniques. Even if he died, he would probably suffer endless torture.
With the golden seal in his hand, Zhang Yan secretly sent a wisp of spiritual energy into the seal. After circulating it a few times, he discovered that Patriarch Tai Heng had used some kind of exquisite technique to make the seal incredibly sturdy and unbreakable.
He played with the Golden Seal for a while, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
The most important thing to do now was to leave this place and find another place to try to refine the seal. If he could refine it even more lightly, he would be able to do so. He didn't need much. As long as he grasped the key formations of this mountain, no one here would be able to do anything to him.
However, with the Golden Seal on him, he had become the focus of the scene, and he couldn't leave as he pleased. He needed a suitable opportunity to act.
After making up his mind, he tossed the Golden Seal into his sleeve and didn't think too much about it. He just calmly looked at the scene. He waited for the opportunity to come.
Ying Chenglin and Zhang Boyan's Magic Treasures were broken by Tai Heng in a single move, and their confidence was greatly damaged.
This old devil's methods made them feel a deep sense of fear.
However, even if they wanted to stop now, they couldn't. If the old devil had the upper hand, why would he let them live?
Thinking of this, the two of them felt a sense of common hatred for the enemy. They pulled themselves together and stared solemnly at their greatest enemy.
Just now, they were in a hurry to win, so they let the opponent take advantage of them. Now that they had calmed down, they immediately realized that they had made a mistake.
This old fiend had attained the Dao ten thousand years ago, and his way of fighting formations was completely different from the cultivators of today. They could only deal with him with the methods they used against ordinary cultivators of the same generation. They thought that once they used their Magic treasures, they would be able to win even if they couldn't take him down. Even if they couldn't take him, they still wouldn't lose.
After Ying Chenglin woke up. Reflecting on the painful experience, the wariness on his face increased. He pointed his finger, and a Peng flew out. Riding on the Astral Cloud Current, it lifted its body into the air. In a flash, he flew into the distance and faced Old Devil Tai Heng.
This Roc couldn't attack, but it was very fast. If it encountered any powerful attacks, it would be able to dodge in time.
Right now, he was extremely afraid of the old monster. Thus, his attitude was to avoid making any mistakes, not to gain merit.
Seeing Ying Chenglin's reaction, Zhang Boyan inwardly cursed, "Cowardly rat." However, after witnessing Patriarch Tai Heng's divine ability and dao technique, Zhang Boyan didn't dare to underestimate him. However, he didn't dare to go all out and attack.
Retreating a few steps, he rolled up his sleeves and used the 'Yellow Springs Escape Technique'. His entire body turned into a faint yellow smoke, and then a column of smoke rose up, rising higher and higher. When it reached the top of the hall, it circled around Tai Heng's hall a few times, as if it was looking for an opportunity to strike.
Both of them had lost their protective treasures, so their offensive techniques had been weakened as well. So, they didn't dare be careless when dealing with Tai Heng. So, both of them utilized their movement techniques as they flew up with the intention of seeking victory before being defeated.
Ancestor Tai Heng smiled faintly when he saw how cautious the two of them were. He tapped his finger, and the scripture on the ground swiftly flew up and unfurled. It didn't take long for it to transform into a long scroll that shone with the aura of treasures, and it revolved in front of him to protect him.
Ying Chenglin's eyebrows twitched. He shook his hand and sent a bolt of lightning down. However, when it landed on the scroll, it only shook slightly. It didn't break.
He sighed inwardly and smiled bitterly. Now that the two of them had lost their treasures, it was Daoist Tai Heng who had the treasures in his hands. The situation had been reversed in an instant, causing him to feel that his hands and feet were tied.
After Tai Heng took out the scroll, his expression was calm, and he took out a foot-long talisman made of gold and iron from his sleeve.
Although the talisman was quite inconspicuous, when Zhang Boyan saw it, his expression couldn't help but change, and he said angrily, "Demon Sealing Talisman?"
The Anatta Temple was proficient in the Demon Sealing Talisman, so it wasn't strange that Yue Yuji had this talisman. However, Tai Heng actually took it out at this moment. Could it be that he was proficient in the Demon Sealing Talisman as well? Or was it just to mess up his mind?
For a time, all kinds of thoughts came into his mind, and it added a bit of fear to him. He just hovered in the air and didn't dare to land.
However, Patriarch Tai Heng didn't care what they were thinking. With a shout, he extended two fingers and pointed forward. Immediately, four clouds of black smoke descended from the heavens toward the two of them.
With the experience just now, the two of them didn't dare to take it head-on in case they fell into a trap, so they both retreated.
The four balls of black energy flew at a godly speed and chased after them. When they arrived in front of the two of them, they expanded outwards and actually emitted countless dazzling golden flames. They were like a myriad of candles that filled the sky as they rained down.
When the two of them saw this, they quickly spread out their magic power, and each of them carried a green and a black ray of light. They turned them into clouds and sent them forward to block.
However, when they came into contact with the golden light, they felt that the opponent's magic power was getting heavier and heavier. It was like a heavy burden was constantly pressing down on them. They immediately felt that something was wrong, and they quickly summoned their auras to resist it.
But in this way, the battle had turned into a battle of mutual exhaustion.
In a battle like this, you wear away a trace of my spiritual vigor, and I eat away a trace of your Pill Fiend. If both of them didn't have any tricks to win, one side's magic power would be completely exhausted. It would only end when one side was exhausted, and it all depended on who could hold on longer.
Ying Chenglin and Zhang Boyan couldn't help but be surprised. The old monster had a magic treasure in his hand, and he clearly had the upper hand. He could have fought steadily and steadily, and then he would have a chance of winning. But why was he in such a hurry to compete with them?
No matter how strong Tai Heng's magic power was, he was still borrowing Yue Yuji's body. How could his magic power compare to the two of them combined?
But in view of the old monster's treacherous and changeable methods, they were very careful and secretly kept their guard up.
The three of them were in a deadlock for a moment.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. At this moment, he knew that his chance to escape had come. He was a very decisive person, and once he made up his mind, he didn't think too much about other things. He waved his sleeves, turned into smoke, and flew out of the hall without hesitation.
Even when Zhang Boyan was fighting with the old monster, he had been paying attention to the situation on both sides, afraid that the golden seal would make a mistake.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to retreat with the treasure, he couldn't help but sneer. However, he was about to deal with Tai Heng, so he didn't have time to care, so he shouted in a deep voice, "Xu Gongyuan, follow him."
In his opinion, Xu Gongyuan was a third layer Core Transformation cultivator. People who had condensed magic power and true seals were also good at chasing and entangling. They also knew restrictions and formations. If they blocked a cultivator of the same generation, even if they couldn't win, they could make it so the other party couldn't escape. Therefore, he was very relieved.
Compared to Zhang Boyan, Ying Chenglin's thoughts were much more complicated. He was afraid that the golden seal would be taken away by the other party's subordinates, but he also didn't want Zhang Yan to have some method to refine it.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, his lips moved. The eagle girl standing at the side immediately sensed it, nodded at him, and immediately chased after him.
Xu Gongyuan was originally hiding far away from the battle. Now that he heard the call, he wasn't in a hurry to go forward, but first took a few glances.
After confirming that only Zhang Yan came out, he felt quite confident, so he shouted, walked out in large strides, and blocked the way in front of the hall door.
Then he flipped his hand, took out the jade mirror, and waved it at Zhang Yan. In an instant, a solid mirror light flew out.
This mirror light just rushed out and seriously injured Zuo Mo, so it was obviously a very powerful magic treasure. However, when Zhang Yan saw it, he didn't dodge. He suddenly shouted and went straight for the mirror light. There was a loud bang, and the mirror light was actually smashed into pieces by him!
His momentum didn't change, and with a stomp of his feet, the bricks cracked, the wind blew, and the air within three feet swirled.
Xu Gongyuan was shocked. He did not expect Zhang Yan to be so valiant. Just as he was about to retreat, he shockingly discovered that his body seemed to have sunk into water, and it was difficult for him to move. He could not help but cry out involuntarily, "You're Li …"
Halfway through his words, a strong wind suddenly blew against his face. He hurriedly released all the Dan Qi in his body, trying to protect his body.
At this time, Zhang Yan had already rushed in front of him. He opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. In a split second, he squeezed through the murderous aura and grabbed Xu Gongyuan's throat. With a 'hei' sound, he lifted both of his arms. Xu Gongyuan suddenly felt the sky and earth spin. He realized that he was actually lifted above his head by his opponent. He couldn't help but scream in fear.
A light flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, and with another shout, he heavily stomped on the ground. "Bang!" Smoke and dust flew everywhere, and the killing intent dispersed. Then, without looking at the person, he raised his foot, and with a "crack", Xu Gongyuan's sternum was completely broken, and he died without a sound.
After stomping this person to death on the spot, Zhang Yan didn't even look at him. He used the force to jump into the air, and with his eyes looking forward, he used the Minor Heavens Teleportation Escape Technique, and with a flash, his figure disappeared from the mountain ridge.
From the time Zhang Yan fought with Xu Gongyuan to the time he killed him, only a moment had passed. When the Eagle Maiden came out, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she saw the broken bones on the ground. Then, she looked at the empty mountain path and stood there for a long time, speechless.
Zhang Yan flew along the mountain ridge all the way to the Weapon Refining Pagoda where the Yaoyin Clan stored the magic treasures.
It didn't take long for him to arrive there. He stopped his ability, pressed down on the cloud, and drilled into the pagoda. Then, with another flick of his sleeve, the Devil Depository Pagoda flew out, and with a "rumble", it landed in the hall on the first floor.
He went up to open the door, entered, and soared to the fourth floor. He took a few steps forward, and with a turn of his hand, he instantly opened the pagoda's protective formation.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly. With the protection of the Devil Depository Pagoda, even if the Yuanying cultivators came to attack, he wouldn't be afraid.
Taking a few steps back, he spread out his big sleeves, sat on the praying mat, took out the golden seal, and began to refine the seal with all his strength.
