Even though Lu Xiaotian had already beaten two of the stone figurines to the point that they lost their fighting strength, the number of stone figurines did not decrease but instead increased to ten. The situation became even worse.
Even with Lu Xiaotian's calmness, his mood could not help but become worse.
In the process of hesitation, the encirclement of the ten stone figurines shrunk by a bit. The stone figurines' thick feet stomped on the ground, causing violent tremors. The deaths of their comrades made them feel angry as they were the same kind. Their speed was even faster than before.
Lu Xiaotian held his sword with both hands. Just as he slashed a deep wound on the chest of a stone figurine opposite him, a gust of wind came from behind his waist. He rolled to the ground, and the stone figurine's large feet stomped down on his body. Lu Xiaotian sneered. In the process of fighting with the stone terracotta soldiers earlier, he had figured out a rather feasible way. The strength of a single stone terracotta soldier was not low, especially its body that was as hard as a magic tool. It was unrealistic to want to kill it in an instant. However, in comparison, it was much easier to injure one of the stone figurines' legs.
Taking advantage of the stone figurines' large feet stomping down, Lu Xiaotian continuously waved the Blazing Li Fire Sword in his hand. With a few 'shua shua' sounds, the Blazing Li Fire Sword flickered like an illusion as it slashed across the stone figurines' large feet. Because the stone figurines' defense was too strong and the time was short, Lu Xiaotian did not have enough time to completely cut off the stone figurines' legs. He only cut off half of the stone figurines' legs and then quickly jumped up from the ground, quickly leaving the battle circle.
The stone figurines that were injured by Lu Xiaotian's sword wanted to give chase, but one of their legs was injured. These stone figurines were not made of flesh and blood, so they did not feel pain. However, with one of their legs injured, when they chased after Lu Xiaotian, their two legs were unbalanced. Once their speed was too fast, their bodies would start to sway.
Lu Xiaotian heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like this method was the right one. If he were to kill all three of the stone terracotta soldiers, he would have to unleash his full strength. However, he wouldn't be able to last for long. Under such circumstances, he couldn't use up all of his strength at once. Once again, the threat of the three stone figurines was temporarily eliminated. There were still only seven of them left, but the encirclement had thinned out. Lu Xiaotian quickly moved to the other side. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he would be able to escape.
However, at a place further away, there were more than ten stone terracotta soldiers walking out of the yellow sand. They were of different sizes, and their bodies shone with a light gold color. Lu Xiaotian was suddenly speechless. Could it be that he had barged into the nest of the stone figurines? That pure gold stone terracotta warrior only took away a part of it?
With this question in mind, another five stone terracotta soldiers approached. Lu Xiaotian was prepared to use the same trick again. He wanted to cut off the legs of the terracotta soldiers.
Whoosh! Although the gigantic stone figurine was not as agile as a human when it bent its back, the pale gold stone figurine leaped up from the ground and pressed its heavy body down on Lu Xiaotian.
"Damn it!" Lu Xiaotian's expression changed. He didn't think that the intelligence of these stone figurines was not low. They had only been tricked once before, and now they had already found a way to deal with it. Facing the five stone figurines that were pouncing over, once he was pressed down by one of them, his speed would be greatly reduced. Being kicked and punched by the five stone figurines, and with the help of the other stone figurines, he would soon be like those cultivators from before, turning into a pile of rotten meat.
Lu Xiaotian naturally would not give the stone figurines this opportunity. He quickly rolled on the ground and avoided the pouncing of the five stone figurines. However, his stomach was still kicked by a stone figurine. Even if his body could withstand the attacks of magic tools, his stomach was still a relatively weak spot. After being kicked by the stone figurine, his stomach was in turmoil. If not for the fact that he had been using pills to replace food, the contents of his stomach would have probably been thrown out.
Lu Xiaotian couldn't care less about the pain, rolling up from the ground and rapidly distancing himself from the stone figurines. At the same time, he stepped on the Blazing Inferno Sword and rode on it.
Tens of rocks of different sizes smashed towards Lu Xiaotian from all directions. While controlling the flying swords with his sub Nascent Divinity, Lu Xiaotian stepped on the flying swords and unleashed a series of punches and kicks, shattering all the rocks.
Whoosh —
The yellow sand in the air rolled violently. Lu Xiaotian rode on the flying sword, but was still shaken by the huge hurricane. Through the yellow sand drifting in all directions, Lu Xiaotian saw six or seven stone figurines closing in from all directions. Their speed was fast and swift.
A huge sense of crisis shrouded Lu Xiaotian's heart. Even if he used the fire dragon bow, he was unable to kill so many stone figurines at the same time. Although a foundation stage cultivator could fly, but their battle prowess in the air would be reduced. The strength of these stone figurines was not inferior to the stone figurines, not to mention the sky was their home ground.
But the ground rustled, Lu Xiaotian looked down from above. Further away, dozens of stone figurines gradually emerged, and there were even more stone figurines.
Could it be that he was going to fall here? Lu Xiaotian's scalp went numb. After entering the immortal cultivation world for so long, the number of times he was truly helpless was not many. Even at the Earth Flame Mountain, when he faced the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Zhou, there was still the variable Dongfang Yi, who unexpectedly blocked the Zhou cultivator for him. But in this situation, there was no possibility of her helping him. Even Wen Fu and the other cultivators, to be able to preserve their lives under the siege of the fifty over stone figurines and twenty over stone figurines was already not bad. They were also unable to enter the area of the sandstorm. At this moment, he was truly alone.
But with Lu Xiaotian's character, even if he was facing a dangerous situation, he would definitely not lower his head and admit defeat until he was at the end of his rope. When he looked at the ground, he noticed the cave that the stone figurines came out from. Although he did not know what was inside the cave, he had no other choice at this moment. Even if there was a group of stone figurines inside the cave, the outcome would not be worse than now. The only difference was that he would die inside the cave or outside the cave.
Of course, if there was nothing else inside the cave, the stone figurines would temporarily not be able to attack him with the help of the cave's terrain. And these stone figurines in groups of ten would also be unable to form an encirclement. Of course, his path of retreat was cut off. He would have to endure the stone figurines' endless attacks until one side completely collapsed. If he waited for the stone figurines to return, he would not even be able to see this moment and would be killed by the stone figurines. But no matter what, Lu Xiaotian was definitely not the type to sit and wait for death.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xiaotian immediately flew towards the cave on his sword.
A strong gust of wind blew in his face as two huge fists struck towards him. There were stone figurines in the cave, and they were even stronger than the normal light gold figurines. But fortunately, there were not many of them, only two. The cave's passageway was not wide and could only accommodate two stone figurines walking side by side. Perhaps there were even narrower places inside. Even though he was in a dangerous situation, Lu Xiaotian could not help but feel a little happy. If he could rely on this terrain, at least he could last longer. As for the future, if he could not overcome this hurdle in front of him, there was no need to talk about the future.
The strong enemy was blocking his path, and there were more than ten stone figurines chasing after him. With the stone figurines blocking the sky, there was no longer any space for him to survive. No matter what, he could not fall into a situation where he was surrounded. Lu Xiaotian's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of panic. Years of adventuring told him that in such a situation, the more panicked he was, the faster he would die. Lu Xiaotian popped a Heaven Reversal Pill into his mouth. Buzz, the Blazing Li Fire Sword trembled slightly and the sword radiance shone brightly. In an instant, he injected all of his mana into the Blazing Li Fire Sword. The sharp and hot sword energy slashed onto the stone figurines' necks. At the same time that it slashed onto their bodies, the Blazing Li Fire Sword paused slightly. Its defense was obviously much stronger than the light gold figurines. Looking at the color of these two stone figurines, it was only slightly inferior to the pure gold figurines. But with Lu Xiaotian's strength, he still successfully chopped off the heads of the two stone figurines that were blocking his path.
Plop, the two stone figurines that lost their heads fell to the ground. Lu Xiaotian did not even look and continued to stride forward. The stone figurines behind him were already within a few feet of him. If he was any slower, he would have been entangled by the stone figurines. The terrain in front of him was still slightly open and was not an ideal place to fight. Moreover, when he killed the two stone figurines with one slash just now, it seemed powerful and unstoppable. In reality, that slash had exhausted all of his mana. If he was not an extremely powerful physique cultivator, even with the Heaven Reversal Pill, his body would have weakened temporarily and he would have been killed by the stone figurines in the blink of an eye.
This stone cave was rather deep. The deeper he went, the more he could feel a pure gold spiritual energy. Lu Xiaotian who was running was extremely astonished. Fortunately, there were no other stone figurines blocking his path. It seemed that those two were rather powerful. The one that was killed by his sword aura just now should have been acting as a guardian.
Besides, Lu Xiaotian was also hoping that this stone cave would be as complicated as the Earth Fire Mountain or the Forbidden Blood-red Ground's cave. The more complicated the terrain, the more opportunities he would have to deal with these stone figurines. However, that was not the case. This stone cave was just a normal cave with an intestine leading all the way to the end. Other than the space at the bottom, which was about a hundred feet in radius, the rest of the space was made up of extremely hard rocks. After absorbing enough Metal Spiritual Qi, these rocks had become extremely hard. Even if he punched them, he could only make a small dent in them. If it was an ordinary rock, his punch would probably be able to explode it.
It was just a cave with more gold spiritual energy and there were two pieces of light gold prismatic crystals. They were exactly the same as the ones he obtained from the stone figurines after killing them. What was slightly surprising was that the pure gold stone figurine had actually placed the Fire Dragon Elixir Arrow in the stone cave. It was considered a small surprise that he had found it after losing it.
Without any other way out, Lu Xiaotian could only turn around with his sword. In the current situation, he could only fight to the death with the stone figurines. However, there were at least dozens of stone figurines that were charging towards him. It was hard to guarantee that there would not be more behind. If he waited for the pure gold stone figurines to lead the group back, it would not be difficult to break through a hundred of them. With his strength, it was far from enough to deal with dozens of stone figurines. He needed more healing pills and the support of the Heaven Reversal Pill. Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death by these stone figurines. The pills he had could not withstand the exhaustion. He needed to concoct more pills, especially the Heaven Reversal Pill.
Lu Xiaotian quickly calculated the current situation in his mind. He quickly threw out the centipede puppet. The centipede puppet opened its mouth and bit onto the alchemy cauldron before retreating to a safe place behind it. He used his secondary primordial spirit to control the centipede puppet to start concocting pills. At the same time, Lu Xiaotian was already holding the Blazing Fire Arrow in his hand as he fought with the two stone figurines at the front.
Clang clang … Fortunately, the Blazing Fire Sword was an Inner Core artefact with unparalleled power. This allowed Lu Xiaotian to save a lot of energy. He chopped off the leading stone figurine's wrist with his sword and kicked it back. With a strong gust of wind, the stone figurine's huge fist came straight at him. Lu Xiaotian ducked to avoid it and chopped off its legs with his sword. Taking advantage of the fact that the stone figurines at the back could not connect, he chopped off its head.
Without waiting for Lu Xiaotian to catch his breath, the stone figurines at the back had already pounced on him. He could not go on like this. Although the two swords seemed to be killing to his heart's content, but the exhaustion of his magic power and stamina was too great. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold on until all the stone figurines were destroyed. He had to stall for time. At the very least, the consumption of pills and the speed of concocting pills had to be balanced. Otherwise, his death would only be delayed slightly. Although the speed of using the Blazing Fire Sword to kill the stone figurines was fast, the consumption of his magic power was far from being able to make up for it. He had to ensure that every time he used his magic power, he would hit the stone figurines' vital points.
It seemed like he would have to suffer a lot. Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and temporarily put away his sword. He then used his knee to hit the terracotta soldier's chest. A slight pain came from his knee, but it quickly returned to normal. Relatively speaking, the consumption of stamina was slower than the consumption of mana. And the blood and flesh of the seventh level fire dragon was enough for him to consume for a long period of time.
The two stone terracotta soldiers at the front were infuriated and once again pounced towards Lu Xiaotian. Behind them, there were already over forty densely packed stone terracotta soldiers. However, only the two at the very front were capable of contending with Lu Xiaotian.
Peng! Lu Xiaotian's chest was struck by a punch, it was as though a heavy hammer had struck a drum. Lu Xiaotian's body trembled as he retreated several feet. Seeing that the stone terracotta soldiers were about to rush over, he ignored the pain and rushed back once more, unleashing another round of punches and kicks, forcing the stone terracotta soldiers back. However, during this period of time, Lu Xiaotian suffered another two punches. But the stamina and endurance of a body cultivator was far from what a normal cultivator could compare to. But the benefits and risks were proportional. Fighting the stone figurines face to face like this was without any tricks. The slightest hesitation could be the difference between life and death. There were a few times when the terracotta soldiers' fists and legs were close to Lu Xiaotian's head. Lu Xiaotian could even feel the aura of death surging towards him. However, Lu Xiaotian managed to avoid it by a hair's breadth.
Every time Lu Xiaotian received a punch or kick, he had no choice but to retreat. Or when his body could not take it anymore, he would take out the Blazing Fire Sword and activate the power of the Dan yuan magic item to block the stone figurines, buying himself some time to recover. Towards the end, Lu Xiaotian started to realize that killing all the stone figurines was not the right way to go. Because the stone figurines behind him would continue to surge forward. It was impossible to kill them all. Injuring the stone figurines' hands and feet would weaken their attack power. The pressure on him would be reduced and he would be able to hold on for a longer time.
