After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the white-bearded old man once again jumped out of the Eight Trigrams Demon Locking Formation in a sorry state. Lu Xiaotian's face revealed a hint of surprise, but his reaction was not slow either. Before the white-bearded old man could react, the Eight Trigrams Demon Locking Formation once again enveloped the old man. Once again, he was within the range of attack.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait. Listen to me!" The white-bearded old man hurriedly shouted when he saw that Lu Xiaotian was about to attack again.
"We've already fought. What else is there to say?" Lu Xiaotian said with a sullen face. He did not expect the white-bearded old man's attainments in formations to be so high. Or perhaps he had some other method to see through his Eight Trigrams Demon Locking Formation. His Eight Trigrams Demon Locking Formation was different from the ordinary Eight Trigrams. In addition to the Four Yang Trigrams of Qian, Zhen, Kan, and Gen, and the Four Yin Trigrams of Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui, there was also a Gate of Life and a Gate of Certain Death. Entering and exiting the Gate of Death from the Four Yang Trigrams and Four Yin Trigrams would most likely lead to certain death. However, exiting the Gate of Life would give one a slim chance of survival. Therefore, this Eight Trigrams Demon Locking Formation was also known as a nine out of ten chance of survival.
However, even if the person inside the formation knew where the Gate of Life was, it would not be easy to escape from the attacks of the formation and Lu Xiaotian's harassment. However, although the white-bearded old man was only in the middle stage of Jin Dan, he was not young after all. His accumulation was far more robust than Lu Xiaotian's. After a few exchanges, coupled with his miraculous Earth Escape Technique, he was able to escape from Lu Xiaotian's formation twice in a row. This person's ability was several times stronger than Huo Chuang, whom Lu Xiaotian had killed. When Lu Xiaotian had trapped and killed Huo Chuang, the Eight Trigrams Demon Locking Formation was only at the initial stage. Now, it was only a step away from the advanced stage and could already exert 90% of the formation's power. Even if he did not summon Di Kun, the attack power was far stronger than before. Even so, the white-bearded old man could still hold on for so long and escape from the formation several times.
However, Lu Xiaotian's speed was not slow either. Every time he was about to escape from the formation, Lu Xiaotian would retract the formation and trap him again. The two of them were caught in a tug-of-war of attrition.
However, as time passed, Lu Xiao was not willing to expend too much energy. After all, the Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Array used up too much energy. Later on, he would need to refine the Jin Dan and Yao Dan to replenish his energy. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have just killed this person instead of wasting his breath. However, looking at the white-bearded old man's actions, it seemed like he wanted to stop. Thus, he decided to listen to what he had to say.
With a thought from Lu Xiaotian, the attacks of the Eight Trigrams Demon-Sealing Array paused for a moment. The Yin-Yang fish flickered back and forth between the array gates, making it hard to find them.
"Fellow Daoist, I have offended you this time. How about we stop here?" The white-bearded old man quickly said when he saw Lu Xiaotian's attack pause for a moment.
"Stop? You've been following me for such a long time. You want to kill me for money, but you want to fight when you want to and stop when you want to. Your way of thinking is pretty good, "Lu Xiaotian said coldly. As he spoke, the array formation began to operate slowly.
"Stop, stop. Fellow Daoist, please calm down. I am willing to pay a sum of spirit stones or spirit items as compensation. This way, Fellow Daoist won't lose anything. If you really want to force me to my death, I'm afraid both sides will suffer, "the white-bearded old man said.
"I'm not interested in spirit stones. Let's see if you have any rare spirit items on you," Lu Xiaotian said coldly. "As for whether or not both sides will suffer, we'll only know at the end of the fight."
The white-bearded old man snorted and didn't argue with Lu Xiaotian. He took out several spirit items one after another.
Lingzhi Horse, Lantian Fruit! Seeing the white-bearded old man take out several spirit items, Lu Xiaotian's eyes lit up. These spirit items weren't very useful for his cultivation, but they were quite rare and valuable. Moreover, they happened to be one of the spirit fruits needed to brew the Drunken Immortal Wine.
"Alright, put them on the ground. Don't try to play any tricks. Come out of the array yourself." Lu Xiaotian also knew that it was unrealistic to expect the white-bearded old man to pay a huge price. Moreover, to him, the more valuable spirit items weren't as valuable as the spirit fruits in front of him.
The white-bearded old man placed the items on the ground and then smoothly came out of the array. Without looking back, he flew hundreds of miles away on his sword. Only then did he look back with lingering fear. If he hadn't studied the Eight Trigrams Array before and had some similarities with this array, and if he hadn't cultivated a technique that strengthened his eyes, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the array. Even if he was lucky enough to see through the array's life gate, he was afraid that he would be exhausted to death in that array sooner or later. The white-bearded old man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He had done this kind of shady business more than once or twice, but this was the first time he made a mistake. That silver-haired cultivator was a bit too terrifying. Although his cultivation wasn't as high as his, with that array, even if he was a mid-stage Jin Dan cultivator, if he didn't understand array techniques, once he fell into that strange array, he would have a slim chance of survival. That array was born out of the Eight Trigrams Array, but it was different from the ordinary Eight Trigrams Array. Its power wasn't small.
It wasn't good to stay here for long, so the white-bearded old man flew away without looking back.
At this time, Lu Xiaotian also put away the array. As the Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Array neared Large Completion, it consumed less Gold Yao Dan power and spirit stones than when it was at Small Completion. That white-bearded old man's methods were extraordinary, and he had more important things to do.
After putting away the array, Lu Xiaotian flew on his saber and headed straight to the place he had agreed to meet with Luo Pinger.
In a small courtyard not far from the other Silver Blade Gang, there were a few Foundation Establishment cultivators standing guard outside. At this moment, Luo Ping 'er was wearing a light purple dress, and there was a trace of anxiousness on her face.
"Are you in a hurry?" When Luo Pinger was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, she suddenly heard a calm voice behind her.
Luo Pinger was startled and immediately reacted. She turned around and saw that Lu Xiaotian was already sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard with a surprised expression. She then said in a pitiful voice, "Senior Lu, you're finally here. If you didn't come, this junior would have been forced into a corner by that Liu Jingchuan."
"Has Liu Jingchuan done anything strange these past few years?" Lu Xiaotian was just about to ask if Liu Jingchuan had any breakthroughs in his cultivation, but after thinking about it, Liu Jingchuan was a Jin Dan cultivator. Even if Luo Pinger wanted to know, it wouldn't be that easy. After all, the difference between their cultivations was too great.
