PS: Originally, I wanted to make up for the missing chapter 'But I caught a serious cold'. I'll think of a way to make up for it on Wednesday.
Daoist Xu felt that someone who could control such a large formation under the sea was definitely not someone easy to deal with. Thus, he waited at the side for a long time and waited for the moment Zhang Yan broke through the surface of the sea. Then, he gathered all his strength and abruptly released the blade!
This Yin Cold Knife Ray was incomparably fast, and the rarest thing was that it didn't make a single sound. He was determined to get it, but just as this knife approached Zhang Yan, a clear and melodious sword chime rang out above the sea. A sword ray rushed out to intercept the invisible knife. Relying on this invisible flying knife, Daoist Xu had killed countless cultivators in the dark. Among them, there was no lack of magical treasures and spiritual objects that spontaneously protected their masters. He wasn't a novice and was long prepared. His index and middle fingers that were originally pressed together separated, and the invisible Yin Knife suddenly split into two. One knife went to meet the Stars Sword Pellet, and the other knife didn't change its momentum, continuing to slash forward.
Zhang Yan's treasured robe couldn't withstand the pressure and didn't wait for him to activate it. It automatically propped up a ray of light and protected him.
However, this blade seemed to have used up all of Daoist Xu's magic power and its power was unimaginable. The light on the treasured robe couldn't be blocked and in the blink of an eye, a layer of it was torn open and the blade pierced through.
However, after being blocked by the protective spiritual light, the blade ray dimmed a bit and its momentum was much weaker than before. It was impossible to cut off Zhang Yan's head.
Although Daoist Xu felt that it was a pity, he was still quite confident.
His Yin Blade wasn't as sharp as the Yang Blade, but as long as it was a body of flesh and blood, even if it cut a bit of flesh, it would be able to turn qi into blood and attack the heart, stirring up the internal organs.
As long as a cultivator hadn't reached the step of shedding their body, they would undoubtedly die if they were hit by this strike.
However, when the blade struck Zhang Yan's neck, it was like it was striking metal and emitted a sonorous sound. The Yin Blade instantly shattered and turned into a ball of black essence that spiraled in the air.
Daoist Xu hid a few miles away and cast a technique to hide his body. He was originally staring at this place but when he saw this scene, he was extremely shocked.
The invisible Yin Blade was his biggest trump card. If even this blade failed, he couldn't imagine what kind of technique would be able to kill Ling Xian.
He was a quick-witted person, and he immediately determined that since he was unable to do anything to this opponent, then it would probably be impossible to seize the Dragon Carp from him. There was no benefit in staying here any longer, and he instantly had the intention to retreat.
It wasn't easy for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, so he treasured his own life very much. Even if he couldn't obtain this monster, he wouldn't risk his own life. Suppressing the trace of unwillingness in his heart, he sighed inwardly and made a hand seal. The jet-black Spiritual Essence suddenly flew back and once again reformed into a flying dagger. Soon after, he leaped up and flew away.
Zhang Yan had the warning from the Stellar Swordball, so he was already prepared for it. Even though he was ambushed, his expression was calm as usual. However, a strand of piercingly cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. He swept his gaze towards the direction the black gas was flying towards, and then he executed the Minor Universe Escape Art. His figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and in just two breaths of time, he had already caught up to the black gas.
Just as Daoist Xu leaped into the escape light, his vision suddenly blurred. He saw a handsome Daoist walking in the air and blocking his way. Daoist Xu's expression turned cold. He knew that the Daoist Xu was looking for him, but he didn't even look at him. He waved his hand and a sharp blade light flew over. At the same time, he made a technique and his whole body was attached to the invisible Yin Blade.
This invisible Yin Blade that he had painstakingly cultivated could be used to escape even if it couldn't hurt the enemy. Its speed was not inferior to a flying sword. When he flew, he could also disappear. As long as he was a few hundred miles away, no one would be able to find him.
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and pointed. The Stars Sword Pellet flew out and blocked the incoming blade gleam. However, Daoist Xu's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace. It was as if he had the ability to escape through the void. Zhang Yan frowned and thought to himself, This person left decisively and has this kind of concealment divine art. It won't be easy to track him down.
In a battle of magical powers between cultivators, the most headache-inducing thing was that the opponent had a flying Daoist technique that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve. This meant that the opponent could advance and retreat at will. For example, the Sword Escape Technique was one of them. The second was the Art of Concealment and Concealment.
If Zhang Yan was a 3rd level Nascent Soul cultivator, or had completely mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique, then he would be able to find a way to lock down this area of the world. No matter how capable this person was, he wouldn't be able to escape. However, he didn't have the ability to do so, so he had to find another way.
When Zhang Yan met Daoist Xu, he saw that his clothes were similar to Shen Lintu's. He guessed that this person should be a disciple of Chongyue True Temple.
Chongyue True Temple was in the northwest direction. If this person was escaping, he would most likely go there.
These thoughts flashed through his mind extremely quickly. In just a short moment, he had already figured out the crux of the problem. Without any hesitation, he took two steps forward and used the Lesser Teleportation Escape Technique. In an instant, he had moved tens of thousands of feet away. Then, he waved his sleeve and a monstrous water light was released. It surged forward and occupied several miles of the sea.
His judgment was very accurate. After Daoist Xu hid his figure, he didn't think much and flew towards the mountain gate. However, he was blocked by Zhang Yan.
Although Daoist Xu noticed that Zhang Yan was blocking in front of him, when he used his escape technique, he couldn't avoid it in a hurry.
If the True Weapon in his hand was the Yin Slaughtering Blade, then it would be very different. With just a thought, he would be able to dodge it. However, this Invisible Yin Blade was refined by him, so it did not have that kind of ability. Thus, it was immediately exposed.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only force his way through.
Priest Xu let out a shout and poured his mana into the invisible flying knife. The knife trembled slightly and let out a buzzing sound. It spat out a wisp of black knife ray. With a "chi" sound, it slashed the water element true light in front of him as if it was tearing a piece of paper. Then, it turned around and left.
Zhang Yan focused and searched. He saw that in the water light, there was a shadow moving quickly. However, under the changes of the light, although he could make out the silhouette, he couldn't make out the exact appearance. Wherever it passed, the water light that was blocking its way was destroyed. It was heading towards the southeast.
If he allowed this person to kill his way out of the water element light, it would be extremely difficult to find him again. He calmly took out a few Scarlet Thunder Beads and held them in his hand. When he found the opportunity, he shook his hand and shot it out.
Daoist Xu controlled his blade and slashed continuously. Suddenly, his body relaxed. He realized that he was out of the water element light. He hurriedly used his blade and wanted to escape into the distance.
But at this moment, a few Scarlet Thunder Beads flew over and exploded in the air in front of him. After a loud muffled sound of thunder, he felt that his eardrums were about to burst. The escape light that was under him was almost shattered. The escape light that was originally flying non-stop also stopped for a moment.
At this moment, Zhang Yan just happened to get out. He waved his sleeve and the water light that Daoist Xu had just flung away enveloped him again and entangled him.
In the past, when Daoist Xu encountered danger, he always relied on the Invisible Flying Blade to escape. He had never had the experience of his tail being caught by an opponent. But now that he was blocked by Zhang Yan twice in a row, he was also very annoyed.
But after the previous lesson, he also learned to be smart. When he flew, he didn't dare to run in one direction. Instead, he flew east and west, changing directions.
But because of this, his speed was also a little slower. After a dozen breaths, he was still circling in the water element light and didn't get out.
With the help of the blurry light, Zhang Yan could still vaguely see where he was escaping to. But even so, he still couldn't defeat the enemy. The blade gleam was so sharp that the water element light could only restrain it, but ultimately couldn't trap this person.
He thought for a moment and with a thought, the Stars Sword Pill shot out like a lightning arrow and slashed towards the place where the invisible escape light was.
Daoist Xu was rather afraid of the Scarlet Thunder Beads just now. But as long as he was prepared in advance, he thought that he could also avoid it. Now that he saw the flying sword coming over, he wasn't afraid.
He snorted and controlled the flying blade to collide with the sword gleam. After a loud explosion, he still couldn't break the sword pill.
He couldn't help but be startled. He didn't fight it head-on anymore and retreated. After flying for a few hundred feet, he suddenly tilted the blade and swept diagonally to avoid the pursuing sword gleam.
This blade had long been refined as one with his own spirit. In terms of the art of moving in the air, the long distance attack might not be able to beat the flying sword. But in terms of finesse, it surpassed the flying sword. If it wasn't for the water element light restraining him, he might have already escaped.
Zhang Yan saw that the sword pill still couldn't restrain this person. He couldn't help but think of a countermeasure. After a few thoughts, he suddenly had a thought and thought to himself, "I might as well take this out and try. It might be useful."
He unfurled his sleeve, and with a shake of it, thousands of Bloodline Gold Bugs were poured out. They surrounded him like dark clouds.
He pointed forward and the gold worms let out a strange cry. They flapped their membranous wings and flew towards the direction of the invisible Yin Blade.
Daoist Xu had been 'entangled' by the flying sword for a long time. Seeing that he still couldn't break out, he felt a little unconfident. He knew that there was no Dao technique in the world that he couldn't handle. If he continued to be entangled, who knew what the other party could think of to deal with him.
He still had a hidden technique. If he used it, he was confident that he could escape.
It's just that this method consumes a lot of magic power and may even damage one's foundation. Thus, he hasn't made up his mind yet. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound next to his ear. Taking a look, he was shocked.
He saw thousands of six-winged demon worms flying towards him. Just by looking at their ferocious appearance, he knew that they wouldn't be easy to deal with.
The speed of the Blood Thread Gold Worms wasn't slow. Although they couldn't see where the invisible flying knife was, they had the sword pill to guide them. Thus, they found the position in an instant and surrounded Daoist Xu.
Daoist Xu hurriedly controlled the flying knife and struck left and right. But when the knife light hit the Blood Thread Gold Worms, there was a clanking sound and sparks flew. Not only did the knife not break, it was also blocked. It was difficult for him to fly as fast as before.
After a while, he felt that it was difficult to move. The sword pill couldn't trap him, but with these worms, it was a different story. No matter where he flew, they were like a net, trapping him in three layers.
His biggest advantage was that he was invisible when he flew, making it hard for others to track him. Once he was surrounded by these worms, he would be completely exposed. Dealing with them would be much easier.
At this point, Daoist Xu didn't care about holding back. He snorted and the knife shook. It turned into hundreds of shadows that flew in all directions. It was unknown which was where his real body was, but in the blink of an eye, he passed through the worm net and escaped.
