Just as the scroll was completely unfolded, Elder Hui Xuan and Ji Daoren's hearts suddenly felt empty, and then their expressions changed greatly.
Zhang Yan's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace!
At the same time, Elder You's eyes blurred, and a sword light leaped over, instantly tearing apart the protective treasure light on his body, and pressed forward.
At this moment, he was trapped by the Five Elements Escape Skill and was unable to move. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and could only desperately use his thoughts to activate his talisman, hoping to protect himself.
But that sword light was really too fast, and because he had poured most of his spiritual qi and mana into the seal, when he pulled his hand back at this moment, he couldn't help but be a beat slower. He could only watch as the cold light streaked across the sky, and his body was cut into two at the waist!
A smear of golden light appeared on the "Imperial Decree Diagram", and the person who cast it was killed. After flashing for a few breaths, it closed up again, and returned the scroll to its original state. With a shake, it fell to the ground along with the two halves of the corpse.
A figure flashed a thousand feet away, and Zhang Yan's figure appeared again.
He stood with his hands behind his back in the clouds, and dozens of sword lights also flew over, and gathered around him, like stardust flying around, spinning back and forth.
With his rich experience in fighting enemies, Just Now seeing that Elder You was about to force his way over, and that Elder Hui Xuan and Ji Daoren were both creating opportunities for him, he immediately guessed that once he got close, he would definitely use a powerful move, and would most likely be able to pose a threat to him. So the person surnamed Suo beat him at his own game, first purposely letting him in, and then taking the opportunity when he was activating the imperial decree, he suddenly released his flying sword, and successfully killed him with one strike.
At practically the exact same moment, he used the Five Element Escape Technique to struggle free of the shackles and flee into the sky, causing the decree to miss. The timing at this moment could be said to be perfectly grasped, and if there was even the slightest deviation, then he would have fallen into the trap. If it wasn't for the fact that he had been through hundreds of battles, and that the supernatural powers and Dao techniques that he had learned were all superior techniques, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Hui Xuan ancestor's face suddenly turned ugly. The battle had only started for a short while and the person he had high hopes for was killed. It could be said to be a bad start.
At this moment, a chill rose in his heart. Just Just Now, You Bingyi did not actually make a mistake. He was just acting a little too impatient. However, this slight flaw was seen through by his opponent, and he was struck by his sword. From this, it could be seen that his opponent was extremely good at seizing opportunities to win. If he was even the slightest bit careless, he would probably die.
As far as he was concerned, Zhang Yan, a Yuanying 2nd Tier cultivator, was actually able to escape from the imprisonment lock that he and Ji Daoren had joined hands to set up. This was truly unexpected.
The reason 3rd level Nascent Soul cultivators were able to suppress lower level cultivators, besides their profound cultivation, was mostly because of this Dao technique. If this technique returned without success, then it would be extremely difficult to predict the outcome of a battle between both parties. Especially this opponent, who seemed to have the same ability to imprison heaven and earth, this made people even more fearful.
Not only Hui Xuan ancestor, even Ji Daoren felt that it was troublesome. However, an arrow on the string had to be shot. It was absolutely impossible for the two of them to give up at this moment. They exchanged a look and flanked each other from the left and right.
Qu Changzhi had just seen Elder You's ending Just Now and did not dare to get too close. Moreover, under the envelopment of the Heaven and Earth Prohibition Lock Technique, it was extremely difficult for him to even fly, not to mention to intervene in the battle. He could only wander outside, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Zhang Yan's gaze swept over. From the changes in their expressions, he could tell that it was the right decision to kill Elder You first. Although the two who flew over were Yuanying 3rd Tier cultivators, and he had the confidence to defeat them, but it was not easy to kill the two of them.
During the battle with Long Zhu, even though Rong Junzhong was not his match head-on, but after that, he used the method of guerilla warfare and was still able to deal with him.
Although he had the Five Elements Escape Technique, but the opponent's skills were higher than his, it was not easy to stop him. Therefore to kill the enemy in front of him in one move, he still needed a clever plan.
He thought for a while and came up with an idea. He raised his hand and the Heaven and Earth Leaf flew out of the cloud and spun in the air. A golden curtain of light hung down and enveloped his body inside.
Then with another thought, dozens of sword glows soared into the air and rained down towards Hui Xuan ancestor like a violent storm.
At this moment, the attacks were all directed to the right and completely disregarded Ji Daoren who was attacking from the left.
Ji Daoren saw Zhang Yan's actions and with his own experience, he immediately deduced the intention of this action.
From what he thought, Zhang Yan was fighting one against two and he was afraid that he himself was not confident, so he relied on his own talisman's strong defense to give up one side and first kill Hui Xuan with all his might. After destroying the other side, he would then turn around to deal with himself.
He thought again and thought, "This is also good. Hui Xuan this old fox is Just Now purposely using words to make me the vanguard. I will slowly cast my spell and let him suffer a little first."
He clapped his hands, and a greyish white mist rose from his palm. Wisps of smoke rose into the air and formed a huge leaden cloud in the air. It was about one li in size, and it was heavy and stagnant. He made another hand sign and pointed his finger. Dozens of lightning flashed across the cloud. Although there was no sound, there were rays of light condensing and brewing in the cloud.
Hui Xuan ancestor suddenly saw Zhang Yan charging towards him with all his might and his heart immediately turned cold.
He knew that his escape technique was not as good as the opponent and it would be useless to hide somewhere else now and instead he would easily reveal his flaws. Therefore he did not avoid and with a calm expression, he reached into his sleeves and took out a full wheat ear. He shook it in front of him and saw a grain of wheat shriveled up. A jade-like gold color immediately appeared on the protective treasure light and it looked thick and solid. The sword glows swept over and brushed past the treasure light, sparks sputtering from time to time.
At this moment he also made the same judgment as Ji Daoren, he thought that Zhang Yan's intention was to first concentrate his strength to kill one person and then turn to deal with the other person. He glanced towards the sky and saw that Ji Daoren seemed to be up. He pondered for a moment and decided not to avoid. He wanted to attract him here and fight for a chance for Ji Daoren to attack.
Therefore he even made a hand sign and shook the wheat ear in his hand continuously. He activated his mana and managed the protective treasure light to become like an iron wall.
Looking from the ground, it looked like a dazzling starlight wheel. No matter how the sword glows slashed at it, it still did not move.
He dared to do so because he had the treasure in his hand and he believed that Zhang Yan would not be able to break through his defense for a while. Although he guessed that Ji Daoren would play some tricks, as long as the other party still wanted to snatch the Nine-Huang Star Bead, their goals were still the same. As long as he could get rid of Zhang Yan in the end, he would accept it even if he had to suffer some losses.
Zhang Yan used the light-splitting swordsmanship to attack Hui Xuan Patriarch back and forth. The sword glows were swift and fierce, like waves stacking one after the other. The sound of the sword glows and treasure light clashing resounded through the clouds and there were even lightning flashes in the sky. It could be said that the momentum was overwhelming.
Daoist Ji was also shocked by the sight, so he no longer sat and watched. He pointed his finger downwards, and a gray light shot down from the leaden clouds like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, it crashed into the golden curtain below. White light overflowed in all directions and exploded. It was like lightning and raging flames, continuously producing sounds and splendor. However, it was unable to shake the Heaven and Earth Leaf in the slightest even after more than a hundred times.
This technique did not work but he did not look anxious at all. In his heart, he also had the thought of watching the two of them fight to the death and he would reap the benefits in the end. So although his attacks looked fierce, he actually secretly held back and did not use his full strength.
Zhang Yan saw his actions and could not help but smile. He had seen what the two of them had done previously and knew that the two of them were not as harmonious as they looked on the surface, but each had their own ulterior motives. So he cleverly made use of their mentality and ignored Ji Daoren and went to deal with Hui Xuan first.
Hui Xuan Patriarch originally thought that it would be fine if he blocked the sword glows by himself. But after holding on for a moment, Zhang Yan's sword glows had increased from the previous thirty odd to sixty-four. The sword glows were like snowflakes and hail, falling down in succession and the pressure was more than doubled.
And until now, Ji Daoren was still unable to break through Zhang Yan's protective magic treasure. Instead, it was getting more and more strenuous on his side. He scolded in his heart but it was not the time to turn hostile and he still needed to rely on this person. So he reluctantly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Ji, why are you still not killing him?"
But Ji Daoren replied, "Fellow Hui Xuan, don't be impatient. This person's mana is deep and if you don't find a way to exhaust him, I might not be able to kill him even if I use my methods later. Fellow Ji should have seen that this person is not afraid of our trapping technique. If he doesn't die from his injuries and uses his escape technique to escape, how can he chase after him later? Fellow Ji please hold on for a while longer. When he is exhausted, I will naturally use my killing technique. "
Hui Xuan Patriarch immediately kept quiet. Although Ji Daoren's words were selfish but the logic was not bad. He could only secretly call out to his disciple, "Disciple, come and help me. This Daoist Zhang is currently being restrained by me and can't take care of you. Just relax and come over, don't be afraid."
Qu Changzhi also believed that he had seen the situation clearly. At this moment, the three of them had reached this stage and it was nothing more than whoever could break through the opponent's defense first would have the upper hand. Therefore when he heard his master's order, he did not hesitate at all and leaped forward. Not long later, he came near and took a look below. He threw out a handful of silver beans towards Zhang Yan.
When Ji Daoren saw Qu Changzhi coming forward, he guessed that Hui Xuan Patriarch might really not be able to hold on any longer. As he was afraid that he would not exert any more strength and cause his plan to fail, he hurriedly took out a lion head gold bracelet and after chanting a few incantations, he threw it downwards.
This treasure landed and with a dang sound, it hit right on the Heaven and Earth Leaf. Like a hammer striking a large bell, the sound shook the mountains and rivers, the clouds and sky rang, causing the layer of light screen to tremble. Then the silver bean arrived but it was far from this item. Like a stone falling into water, it only caused ripples.
Ji Daoren waved his hand and summoned the jade bracelet. After a moment, he struck down again. This time, the Heaven and Earth Leaf shook continuously, looking like it could not hold on any longer.
When Hui Xuan Patriarch saw this, he thought that he was going to exert his strength seriously. He hurriedly pulled himself together and activated his mana again. He gritted his teeth and held on against the rain-like sword lights.
The two of them had the intention of exhausting Zhang Yan's mana but Zhang Yan also had the same intention. Just that the time was not right yet, that was why he did not use any other methods and only used his flying sword to slash.
At this moment he saw Qu Changzhi coming over and his face turned cold. He suddenly waved his sleeves and hundreds of Serene Yin Heavy Water flew out and struck towards him.
Under the Forbidden Lock Technique, Qu Changzhi could only face it head on like his teacher. Unexpectedly the heavy water splashed over and the protective treasure light was smashed into pieces in a blink of an eye. The blood drained from his face and he hurriedly retreated backwards. At the same time, he hurriedly took out a dust tail that was like a fan and swept it back and forth.
Just when he thought that it was enough to deal with it, suddenly an inconspicuous drop of ink pierced in. The dust tail in his hand was like moving a mountain but it did not budge. With this delay, a bang sound was heard. His chest seemed to have suffered a heavy blow from a battering ram. With a muffled groan, his body was actually hit until it spun one round in the air and in a shower of blood, he fell down.
