However, the millions of living souls were not completely useless. Although the lightning killed the living souls at an astonishing speed, they were also being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the speed at which the living souls were being consumed was far greater than that of the lightning.
The thick lightning pillar easily pierced through the huge dark clouds formed by the gathering of living souls. It struck the green skeleton's chest. In fear, the green skeleton directly pulled Zhu Yuchun in front of it. Zhu Yuchun's body, which could almost compete with the copper puppet before, was smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye.
The green armor on the green skeleton's body had been hit by hundreds of cultivators at the Great Circle of Qi Refining in the forbidden blood-red area. At this time, the green armor was covered with cracks like a spider web. The green skeleton howled miserably as the lightning struck the lower half of the skeleton below its chest. With only the upper half of its body left, Zhu Yuchun was even more miserable. He only had his head and a trace of dizzy and evil spiritual consciousness left.
Lu Xiaotian, as the person who threw out the lightning bead, was also not in a good state. The moment the lightning bead exploded, he also felt a destructive aura coming from behind him. In fear, he directly brought out the Five Elements Spiritual Armor Talisman that he had been reluctant to use.
The lightning bead's explosion in the water was even more powerful. In order to prevent the green skeleton from escaping the water, when he threw out the lightning bead, he did not run far. Although he was not at the center of the explosion, he was still affected. His physical defense and self-protection skills were far inferior to the green skeleton's. Even if he was at the edge of the explosion, he still felt a destructive force that was almost impossible to resist.
That damned Lei Wantian, why didn't he explain the power of the lightning bead clearly. Seeing the spiritual armor produced by the Five Elements Spiritual Armor Talisman shatter under the impact of the explosion, Lu Xiaotian once again brought out the Star Lantern. At the same time, he summoned the copper puppet to block in front of him.
The Copper Man Puppet was blown to pieces in the explosion. The light screen produced by the Star Lantern was unstable for a while, but after this buffer, Lu Xiaotian was also swept away several hundred feet in the air like a fallen leaf in a hurricane. Although he was lucky enough to escape this calamity, his physical body was still vomiting blood even after being hit by the aftershocks. His lower body was also shaken quite a bit, and his injuries were not light. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
When Lu Xiaotian came back to his senses and saw that the copper puppet had been reduced to several pieces of scrap metal, his heart ached. Originally, he had hoped that after Lu Xiaotian improved his puppet control technique, he would be able to use the copper puppet as a powerful helper. He didn't expect that it would be destroyed in this explosion. He even used the Five Elements Spiritual Armor Talisman. The green armored skeleton had really caused him a lot of trouble!
Lu Xiaotian looked at the ground in the sky with lingering fear. The explosion had actually created a small lake with a radius of several li. Because of the explosion, the river water flowed back from both ends. The shrubs on both sides of the river and the trees that were affected by the lightning were all scorched black. The trees that were closer to the river were directly turned into black charcoal.
That damned skeleton should be dead by now after such a terrifying explosion. Lu Xiaotian was filled with hatred, but he felt a little better. However, what happened next left him dumbfounded.
The bloody shadow flashed, and only the upper body was left. Most of the green armor had fallen off, and the bones of the upper body couldn't be found. The skeleton fled in panic.
The green armored skeleton was terrified. Since he stepped into the Ghost Path, he had experienced many storms and waves. At this time, he finally got out of the bloody forbidden area, but he didn't expect that he would almost die in the hands of a human Foundation Establishment cultivator. With a thunder bead, he used the newly refined white bone shield, the bone spear he had used before, and the green armor that was temporarily quite suitable for his underling, Zhu Yuchun. Even the millions of living souls were only lucky enough to survive the lightning bead. Especially those million living souls. If he hadn't encountered the Death Region from before, it would be utterly impossible to gather so many living souls in a few years. This was not all. At this time, his body was seriously injured again. Even the Blood Concealment Banner was badly damaged by the violent thunder and lightning.
"He's not dead yet!" After the initial shock, Lu Xiaotian's face quickly became gloomy. Regardless of the injuries on his body, he rushed back with the Flying Sword Kill. He saw that the green armored skeleton's signature green armor had been blown up, and the remaining upper body looked quite funny. It was covered with fine cracks. Even if it was not dead, its vitality must be greatly damaged. If he did not eliminate it now, when would he be able to?
"Boy, the green mountain will always be there, and the green water will always flow. One day, I will make you pay back with interest."
The purple fire in the black eye sockets of the green armored skeleton weakened a lot. At this time, looking at the young man who seriously injured him again, the green armored skeleton couldn't help but hate him. But at this time, he was seriously injured, and his condition was much worse than before. Besides, the boy in front of him was really not an ordinary human Foundation Establishment cultivator. He couldn't bear a more violent blow. He could only plan again after he recovered his strength.
The green armored skeleton waved the Blood Concealment Banner, and the upper body turned into a streamer and flew away under the banner.
Lu Xiaotian looked at the other party in surprise. Its speed was even faster than when it was chasing him. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in the sky. It was beyond his power to catch up. He didn't expect the green armored skeleton to be so fast when it was seriously injured. Lu Xiaotian naturally didn't know that the green armored skeleton's speed was slowed down because a large number of living souls had not been refined in the Blood Concealment Banner. In order to save his life, the green armored skeleton released all the living souls in the Blood Concealment Banner, which barely offset most of the power of the Thunder Bead. At this time, although the Blood Concealment Banner was damaged, its speed did not decrease but increased.
This time, if he didn't have the Thunder Bead in hand, he was afraid that he would have been in danger. The power of the Thunder Bead was equivalent to the full blow of a cultivator at the early stage of Jin Dan. It was the most powerful treasure he had. Even a Thunder Bead couldn't kill the green armored skeleton. Even the Seven Stars Formation might not be able to do anything to this skeleton.
Puff, after the green armored skeleton left, Lu Xiaotian vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood. His face changed. He didn't expect that the power of thunder and lightning was still destroying his body. His injuries were still worsening. He had to find a safe place to heal. Lu Xiaotian swallowed a few elixirs and quickly left in the opposite direction of the green armored skeleton.
More than half a year later, at the horse farm of the Xiao family in the Wei State's Red Cloud County, thousands of strong horses galloped on the grass.
More than ten strong men with excellent horsemanship galloped on the horses' backs to their hearts' content, driving the horses to a place where the grass was more fertile.
On a small mound near the horse farm, clear shouts were heard repeatedly. A beautiful girl of thirteen or fourteen years old held a short sword and danced gracefully. At such a young age, the momentum of her attacks had already surpassed that of a First Rate Warrior and was close to that of a Peerless Warrior. The speed of her sword was even more astonishing.
In the Wei State, which had a population of hundreds of millions and spanned tens of thousands of miles, she was an extremely rare genius warrior.
"Master, how was my sword dance?" When the girl withdrew her sword, she was already sweating profusely. She wiped the moisture from her forehead and hurriedly ran to a black-clothed youth who was sitting cross-legged nearby to ask for praise.
The youth opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, "So-so. Continue practicing."
"Oh." After the girl heard this, she went back and continued to swing her sword over and over again.
This girl was called Chi Lin. She had an older brother called Chi Kun who had been practicing martial arts with his sister for more than half a year. There were many people at the horse farm going to the market in the county capital today, so they went out. One of the siblings had an old grandfather who was the veterinarian of the Xiao family's horse farm. His life couldn't be compared to that of a rich family, but he could help the Xiao family take care of the horse farm. He could be considered a wealthy family and didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
The youth was naturally Lu Xiaotian. Coming to this horse farm was really a long story. The Wei State was already tens of thousands of miles away from Full Moon City. When he fought with the green-armored skeleton, he was also affected by the thunder pearl. In fact, he had underestimated the lethality of the thunder pearl. It was comparable to the full-force attack of an early-stage Jin Dan cultivator. It was not only the explosive power of the thunder pearl, but also the destructive power of the thunder and lightning. It was equivalent to the attack of an early-stage Jin Dan cultivator. The thunder and lightning technique cast by a Jin Dan cultivator was powerful and destructive. It continuously damaged Lu Xiaotian's body.
Under such circumstances, Lu Xiaotian was very unlucky to bump into Yue Song. Yue Song was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Xiaotian was seriously injured. Without saying anything, he directly attacked, intending to take the opportunity to take Lu Xiaotian's life. Lu Xiaotian was no longer able to compete with Yue Song in his current state, so he used the Seven Stars Formation.
The Seven Stars Formation did not let him down. Yue Song did not even last for five minutes in the Seven Stars Formation before he was killed in the formation. Even his primordial spirit could not escape. Lu Xiaotian obtained Yue Song's storage bag and the giant centipede puppet. However, the price to pay for using the Seven Stars Formation was not small. He used his secondary primordial spirit to control the Seven Stars Formation. The secondary primordial spirit was not as powerful as the main primordial spirit. After killing Yue Song, the secondary primordial spirit directly fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian's body was still being damaged by the power of thunder and lightning. His situation was extremely bad. Lu Xiaotian, who had yet to recover from his serious injuries, tried his best to eliminate the remaining power of thunder and lightning in his body. He recuperated in a thatched hut on a barren mountain road for a few days. He met Chi Kun and his group who were returning from buying horses from the Hu people in the north. He also obtained a withered Shell Clear Grass from Chi Kun's grandfather who treated the horse medicine.
This kind of spiritual herb was extremely effective in treating physical injuries. It was also the most important herb required in the body tempering technique 'Cross Training Golden Body' that Huo Yuming gave him. When he came out of the bloody forbidden area, he used the Foundation Establishment Pill to exchange for Huo Yuming's body tempering technique. After he built his foundation, he read it a few times. At that time, because he did not have the Shell Clear Grass, although there were several other kinds of spiritual items that could replace it in the boundary, the effect was much worse. It would take a long time to cultivate, and the effect would not be great. In addition, Lu Xiaotian wanted to refine a large number of Peiyuan Pills before he left the mountain for training, so he temporarily put this matter aside.
Now that he thought about it, Huo Yuming gave him this body tempering technique and some supplementary spiritual items. He was afraid that the most important Shell Clear Grass was used up. The further he cultivated the 'Cross Training Golden Body', the higher the age requirement for the Shell Clear Grass.
Chi Lin was a kind-hearted girl. When she saw the pale face of Lu Xiaotian, she took the initiative to ask Lu Xiaotian to follow the horse team. Lu Xiaotian pushed the boat with the current and directly followed the horse team to the horse field in Chi Xia County. Originally, Chi Lin and her sister's grandfather, Chi Zhangyong, was somewhat wary of Lu Xiaotian, but after Lu Xiaotian accidentally revealed his skills, he no longer said a word. Chi Lin and her sister were even more shocked. They coaxed and pestered Lu Xiaotian to be their master.
Lu Xiaotian followed Chi Zhangyong's guidance near the horse field and successfully found a small clump of Shell Clear Grass that was only a few years old. Therefore, he transplanted a few stalks into the boundary and used spirit stones to mature them. At this time, his body was still deteriorating under the destruction of the power of thunder and lightning. The purity of the power of thunder and lightning was equivalent to the power of a Jin Dan cultivator. Compared to it, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation of magic power was like grass compared to gold, stone, and dew. The difference was like heaven and earth.
After obtaining the Shell Clear Grass, Lu Xiaotian's injuries were temporarily stabilized. Due to the need to recuperate, Lu Xiaotian stayed at the horse field. Due to the opportunity brought by Chi Lin and the others, Lu Xiaotian made an exception and accepted the two of them as in-name disciples. However, the two of them did not have spiritual roots and were unable to set foot on the path of immortal cultivation. Lu Xiaotian refined some low-grade spirit liquids for the two of them to cleanse their body and marrow. He taught the two of them some simple sword techniques. Although the two of them did not cultivate any martial arts mantras, and Lu Xiaotian did not understand these, the two of them had a physique that was stronger and more resilient than some peerless martial artists under Lu Xiaotian's nurturing. The strength of their recovery was also not something that secular martial artists could compare to. In another one or two months, even peerless martial artists might not be a match for the two of them.
In these few months, Lu Xiaotian used the Shell Clear Grass and a spiritual herb that he already possessed to refine several kinds of body tempering medicinal pills. Although the power of thunder and lightning had not been completely eliminated, using these medicinal pills, the recovery speed of the body was already a bit faster than the destructive power of the thunder and lightning. What was left was for Lu Xiaotian to use the magic power in his dantian to continuously wear down the remaining power of thunder and lightning in his body. Lu Xiaotian had made a certain calculation. He had to consume almost a hundred times the magic power in his body in order to consume a portion of the power of thunder and lightning.
Time passed in this kind of dry and restless recovery. Relying solely on his own magic power, due to the weakening of his body, he could only release an attack equivalent to a middle stage Qi Refining cultivator. Even the skills that came with the magic beads were temporarily unable to be used because his body was temporarily unable to bear the burden of using a large amount of magic power.
