The interior of the Ring Hall was already in ruins. Not even a corpse remained of the people who had been stationed here. The entire room was filled with crimson blood mist. In just a few moments of battle, Old Daoist Lin had already killed everyone in the hall.
The Ring Hall that he had chosen had the weakest defensive power in all of the Ring Halls, which was in line with his strategy of making things easy first and then difficult later.
He originally thought that once he entered this place, because the power of the formation was isolated by the spiritual power, he could only use his own magic power to deal with his enemies. Even if he obtained the Mental State fruit, it would still take some effort. However, when he actually fought, it was not the case at all.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that these people who could exchange blows with him in the past were no match for him at all now. The changes in this person's Dao were no longer a secret in his eyes. Every move could be sensed and detected by him in advance before it was launched, and he could then make the necessary countermeasures.
He thought that this was not only because he had obtained the fruit, but also because he had seen those superior dao techniques before. For a moment, his confidence increased greatly and he felt that he had underestimated himself.
As he thought about it, the wisps of essence and blood energy that he had refined also floated around him before being absorbed into his body bit by bit.
However, he suddenly sensed a strange sign. He quickly turned around and saw a ray of light appear in the hall. Soon after, Daoist Wei's origin spirit appeared.
He focused his gaze and was both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect to lure this person out so quickly. This person was the biggest obstacle to killing King Xi. If he could get rid of him, the trouble would be reduced by at least half. It was a pity that King Xi had only sent his origin spirit. Even if he destroyed it, he wouldn't be able to severely injure this person.
However, it didn't matter. He could use this opportunity to kill this person's origin spirit to try to understand this person's methods.
With a thought, the surrounding crimson mist surrounded Daoist Wei's origin spirit. He reached out with his hand and tried to trap Daoist Wei within. However, Daoist Wei leaned forward and his origin spirit easily penetrated the crimson mist and headed straight for Old Daoist Lin. Old Daoist Lin sneered and his figure flashed, instantly disappearing.
However, when he appeared again, there was a flash of brilliance, and his entire figure suddenly exploded and scattered.
Outside, Daoist Lin's body trembled and he opened his eyes. He couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
Earlier, he'd lost the battle in a baffling manner. But when he pondered about it for a moment, he came to an understanding. Daoist Wei had accurately predicted that Chen Xi would use his technique to dodge when he charged over, and he'd also predicted that Chen Xi would use his technique to descend to the ground. So, Daoist Wei had set up a formidable formation there to wait for Chen Xi. In the end, Daoist Wei's Soul Core Clone was instantly annihilated.
This meant that not only was the other party's cultivation base above his, but his battle experience was also richer than his.
There was another possibility. The other party probably knew a lot about his Dao techniques. The Rong You Sect and the Hao Clan had been fighting for so many years that many things were no longer a secret. As the person with the highest Dao techniques by King Xi's side, it wasn't strange for him to know about these things.
He pondered and said, "This isn't a big problem. Next, I'll use a demonic skill that I've never used before to fight with him. This way, I won't be easily tricked by him."
Moreover, he'd only lost a Soul Core Clone. Now that he had a large amount of blood essence and vital energy that he'd obtained through killing, he wasn't afraid of this bit of exhaustion at all.
He made a hand seal, and after a short while, his Soul Core was condensed again. Then, he used the same method to create a clone. When the two merged, he charged into the Ring Hall again.
This time, before he charged in, he learned his lesson from the last time. First, he used a Depraved Poison Technique. If the other party sensed him, then the poison would fall into the other party's body. This would prevent the other party from finding his location.
Then, he used a Chaotic Illusion Technique. This technique could further obscure the other party's senses. As long as the other party didn't know where he was and what methods he would use, then he wouldn't be able to accurately predict his actions like before. The two of them could then have a "fair" battle.
However, this time, as soon as he entered the Ring Hall, he felt a strong wave of transcendence energy colliding with him. In order to charge in, he naturally gathered his transcendence energy and collided with it. However, he immediately sensed that the other party's transcendence energy was more profound than his, so he added a bit more force. However, when he did this, the other party's transcendence energy suddenly disappeared without a trace. He was shocked and was about to change when he felt a violent force rushing towards him. At the same time, a ray of light similar to the one before flashed past, and his consciousness instantly dimmed.
Taoist Lin opened his eyes again. He thought for a while and figured out that the other party had confused his senses, causing him to make a wrong judgment. Then, the other party used a method similar to the last time to destroy his clone again. This was purely because the other party surpassed him in terms of combat experience.
He didn't think that this was because the difference in combat ability between the two of them was too great. Instead, it was because he wasn't familiar with the way of fighting after the cultivation of Taoism. On the other hand, the other party had been immersed in it for god knows how many years. Furthermore, the difference in combat ability was a huge difference. Coupled with the other party's unknown and sharp methods, that was why he was defeated so quickly.
He sneered and said, "It's just a difference of a few points. I didn't know in the past, but now that I've tried a few times, I'll be able to catch up very soon …"
Soon, he reconstructed another Soul Core clone and sent it to fight with the other party. However, this time, it didn't last long. After a few breaths, the Soul Core clone lost its connection with the other party.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that the other party's magic power is deeper than mine. I can avoid the other party's attacks and use my strengths …"
However, he sent Soul Core clones several times, but they were all destroyed in less than ten breaths each time. His expression was incomparably ugly. It had to be known that the other party was only a Soul Core. If this continued, even if he exhausted the essence and blood energy he obtained from killing the other party, he still wouldn't be able to do anything to the other party.
In addition, he discovered something that was extremely unfavorable to him. As he fought with Taoist Wei, the other party seemed to have gradually sensed his location through the contact between their auras.
Many times, the other party faintly glanced in his direction. The last time, before his clone was destroyed, he saw a Heaven's Eye hovering above Taoist Wei's Soul Core. The light in the eye was constantly rotating, as if it was searching for the other party's aura.
He felt that if he continued to fight like this, he would be exposed to the other party's senses. If the other party chased after him, even if he could use the power of the formation to escape, he wouldn't have the energy to deal with King Xi and the others.
Moreover, he didn't only have to worry about the enemy in front of him. He also had to worry about the Mian Lu City behind him. Mian Lu was currently sitting there and watching, but who knew what would happen later?
Therefore, he thought of an idea and secretly said, "Why don't I invite the people of Mian Lu City to deal with this person with me?"
He had his own plans for this. In any case, when he communicated with Mian Lu City, he didn't reveal any hostility. Now that they were friends and not enemies, he could use the advantages and disadvantages to invite them to fight.
If the people of Mian Lu City agreed to fight with him and were killed by Taoist Wei, it would weaken Mian Lu City's power and make it easier for him to devour them later.
If they surrounded Taoist Wei and didn't die, they would fall into the formation anyway. As long as he killed Taoist Wei and achieved his goal of obtaining his blood essence and vital Qi, he could refine these people at the same time.
After he made up his mind, he immediately sent a light talisman towards the Mian Lu City's formation. Because of the exchange of the formation's Qi, he didn't have any hostility when he sent it over. Therefore, the light talisman entered the main hall just like before.
Zhang Yu led it in and let it land in the main hall. The light talisman spun and as the light spread out, Old Taoist Lin's figure appeared. He bowed to everyone and said, "Zhu Zonghu and everyone else, I've already killed my way to the royal boat, but the royal boat is really difficult to break, especially since King Xi has a Taoist Wei with him. This person is abnormally strong and I'm afraid I can't take him down. Therefore, I want to invite the fellow Taoists of Mian Lu City to kill this person together. Once this person is eliminated, King Xi's side will be much easier."
After he said this, he put on an anxious expression and said, "I hope you can make a decision quickly. Although I can trap King Xi now, Zhu Zonghu should know that King Xi still has a reserve army behind him. If we can't eliminate King Xi in time, when the army arrives in a few days, the result will be hard to say."
Zhu Zonghu's expression was solemn and said, "Elder Lin, thank you for informing us. I already know. Please return first. We will give you a reply later."
Old Daoist Lin performed another Dao salute and disappeared with the light.
Zhu Zonghu thought for a moment and replied to Zhang Yu, "Mister Tao, this matter …"
Zhang Yu said, "We can agree to this matter. I know he wants to scheme against me, and I also need to stop him from completing the final refinement. Since he invited me to go, I can do this in the name of support."
Originally, he wanted to stop the other person from completing the final step, which would require him to attack with the formation and destroy it from the outside. However, since he took the initiative to invite him, he could attack from the inside and outside.
Zhu Zonghu nodded and said, "Then who should go? I know that Taoist Wei. This person is the most trusted Taoist cultivator by my granduncle's side. It is said that his cultivation is unfathomable and very few people can match him. Moreover, when we enter, we have to be on guard against the formation, so we need someone with profound cultivation. "
Zhang Yu looked up and said, "Since we're going deep into the formation, let me settle this matter." He didn't make a move before to avoid being discovered by the "upper self". Now that he was going down, he didn't have to worry about this matter.
Zhu Zonghu was pleasantly surprised. "Mister Tao will do it personally?" He hesitated again. "Is Mister Tao confident?" Although he knew this Mister Tao's strength was extraordinary, he had never seen him in action and didn't know how strong he was.
Moreover, Zhang Yu was the only person he could communicate with these Celestial Beings. His identity was very important. If this trip was too dangerous, he would rather ask someone else to go.
Zhang Yu said calmly, "It's no problem. Zonghu, just wait here and wait for the news." As soon as he finished speaking, starlight flashed on his body and he was already in the middle of the formation. At the same time, he sent a message to the formation on the other side.
Old Taoist Lin was waiting for a reply. When he received the message and learned that Mian Lu had agreed to join forces, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He personally came out of the formation to welcome him. When he saw the vast and mighty starlight coming, his heart trembled and he secretly raised his guard. At the same time, he opened the formation door and said loudly, "This person, please follow me into the formation."
