Within the secret cabin, Cultivator Xu abruptly stood up from the couch.
At that moment, his complexion was somewhat pale. After a while, he reached out to touch his neck. It seemed that he could still feel the coldness of the sword's edge.
The snow-white sword light from before was still lingering in his mind.
He had never experienced being killed in the lower levels before, but he felt as if he had been killed. This undoubtedly had a great impact on his mind.
After his state of mind calmed down, a wave of anger surged in his heart.
He had taken the initiative to seek out Zhang Yu in this battle. Originally, he should have been the one to smoothly disperse the latter's power projection and then achieve his goal. But in the end, he hadn't even been able to finish a sentence before being killed by Zhang Yu.
The sullenness, anger, and annoyance all gathered in his chest, making him feel as if he was about to explode.
As if drawn by his thoughts, the half-ox half-horse phantom appeared again. He could only do his best to calm the restless visualization diagram.
Carefully recalling the situation at that time, he truly hadn't thought that Zhang Yu would attack him without saying a word. Otherwise, how could he have been killed in a single sword strike?
He tried to examine himself. Due to the power projection being killed, he had lost a portion of his power.
Originally, this wasn't very serious. He could recover after meditating for a few days.
However, the problem was that this time, he had gone to achieve his goal. But in the end, not only had he failed, but he had also suffered a setback. His Qi had declined more than he had imagined. If he didn't find a way to resolve this matter, then the accumulation of anger would only grow deeper and his Dao might be damaged.
With a calm expression, he took out a pill bottle and poured out a honey-colored pill. He swallowed it and sat cross-legged on the couch. Sitting there, he circulated his Qi. After a long time, his Qi slowly rose again.
After feeling that his body had almost recovered, he reached out and placed his hand on the Heavenly Travel Dial in front of him. But then his thoughts changed and he withdrew his hand.
He thought to himself, "This person's sword is sharp. Even if I'm on guard this time, I won't necessarily be able to defeat this person. It's better to ask Senior Martial Brother Jia for a protective magic weapon. This way, it'll be safer."
After making a decision in his heart, he immediately came out of the secret cabin and called over a cultivator in charge of this place. After giving a few instructions, the cultivator bowed and complied.
About half a summer's time later, the cultivator hurried back. With both hands, he presented a sparkling and translucent pearl, saying, "This is the magic tool that Xuanxiu Jia gave to Xuanxiu."
Cultivator Xu took the magic treasure and his confidence increased greatly. He said to the cultivator, "Well done."
Then, he flung his sleeve and returned to the secret cabin. He sat down and pressed the Sky Travel Dial. After a while, a beam of light flickered in the secret cabin and enveloped him.
In the Hongyi Stratum, the collapse of the enemy forces caused a battle to end. However, there were only two hundred or so soldiers left in the stronghold, and all of them were injured. As a result, they didn't have the ability to pursue.
In order to guard against the enemy's return, they hurried to reinforce and repair the stronghold. At the same time, they sent messengers to the rear to deliver news of their victory.
Zhang Yu didn't leave this place. Instead, he found a residence in the stronghold that hadn't collapsed and settled down.
He planned to stay here for the time being. This way, he could help the army resist the enemy. Furthermore, he could properly digest what he had learned from Xuan Zun's sermon.
After listening to the sermon, his cultivation of the Dao had increased a bit. His understanding of the Dao had also increased by quite a bit.
He had always felt that although the Divine Instinct Seal had been created, it still seemed to have some flaws. However, after his cultivation improved, he felt that this wasn't the case. It was just that he was too demanding.
The core seal didn't necessarily have to be a complete chapter. He could slowly comprehend it in the future and gradually make up for it.
Take the Sword Seal for example. In the beginning, the many sub-seals under the seal were relatively weak, but after accumulating more, they became stronger and stronger. Until now, he was still continuing to nurture and refine the sword, hoping to improve it further.
In fact, this was just like cultivation. Cultivation was about constantly making up for the lack of perfection. After one's self had improved, it seemed to be perfect in the past, but in reality, new flaws would appear. Cultivators were also pushing themselves to climb up step by step in this process.
Thus, the Divine Instinct Seal was already sufficient. After some adjustments, it could become a core seal. Here, he had ten times more time than outside. He could slowly ponder it.
Now that the Divine Instinct Seal had been repaired, he could attempt to deduce the next core seal. He had studied so many seals before, and now was the perfect time to integrate them.
He sat here for two days. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Then, Li Bailiang's respectful voice sounded, "Is Xuanxiu Zhang here? There's something we can't handle. We need Xuanxiu Zhang to take a look. "
Zhang Yu stood up and walked outside. Li Bailiang cupped his fists and said, "Xuanxiu Zhang, we seized something outside. We really don't know what to do with it. We can only ask Xuanxiu Zhang to take a look."
Zhang Yu asked, "Where is it?"
Li Bailiang said, "It's just outside the military base."
Zhang Yu nodded and let Li Bailiang lead the way. Then, they went all the way to the enemy camp outside the military base. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and raised his head to look.
Not far away, there was a big hole in the ground. Inside it was a four-armed EsGod statue. It had no mouth or nose and was about three people tall. It had blue skin, a tentacle-like beard on its chin, and a cluster of horns on its head. Its eyebrows were high, and its eye sockets were deep with red pearls embedded in them. It looked extremely ferocious.
Other than that, he also felt a wave of heat coming from it. His eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Li Bailiang said, "This thing was left behind on the battlefield by the Evil God's followers. We thought that it was inappropriate to keep it, so we wanted to destroy it. But no matter what we did, whether it was roasting it with fire, soaking it with water, or smashing it with a hammer, we couldn't do anything to it. Later, we wanted to dig a hole and bury it, but no matter what we did, we couldn't cover it with sand."
Zhang Yu asked, "How did you deal with it in the past?"
Old Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Before Xuanxiu came, these monsters had been attacking us for the past ten years. Every time, Le Chao could only barely force them to retreat, let alone capture anything. This is the first time we've encountered something like this."
Zhang Yu nodded and walked closer to the statue. As soon as he got close to it, he seemed to hear a rustling sound, as if someone was whispering something. At the same time, the heat became stronger and stronger, and wisps of it floated into his body.
He said, "Everyone, go do what you need to do. Leave this thing to me."
"Yes!"
Li Bailiang and Old Yang were relieved. They cupped their fists and left in relief.
After they left, Zhang Yu walked around the statue. Then, he reached out and pressed on it. In an instant, a wave of heat rushed into his body. His eyes immediately flashed with electricity.
After a while, the entire statue started to make cracking sounds. Dense cracks appeared on the surface of the statue and spread out. Then, large pieces of the statue peeled off and fell down. In less than ten breaths, it had all turned into a pile of dust.
Zhang Yu withdrew his hand and the light in his eyes faded away.
He hadn't expected that he would be able to come into contact with objects containing Origin Energy in the outer layer so easily in the lower layer.
But when he thought about it, it was normal. The lower layer happened to be the place with the most believers of the Evil God.
However, he wasn't sure if the Origin Energy absorbed by the projection would be absorbed by the main body. He could return later to confirm this.
With a wave of his sleeve, the hole was immediately covered by sand and sand. Then, he walked back.
At that moment, the stone plate flickered and the cultivator surnamed Xu landed on top of it once more.
When the surrounding soldiers saw the emissary arrive, they were pleasantly surprised. But when they saw him, their expressions changed and they retreated with vigilance and fear. They hadn't forgotten the emissary's previous actions.
The cultivator surnamed Xu didn't pay any attention to these low-level soldiers. He leapt onto the wall and glanced back and forth several times. Then, his gaze focused on the returning Zhang Yu.
Under the pressure of the visualization diagram, he was unable to restrain the rage in his heart and directly jumped down from the wall. Light flashed from his body and he tore through the air.
Although his strength was limited and he couldn't fly, he could still fly for a short distance.
At that moment, Zhang Yu raised his head and saw the cultivator surnamed Lin rushing towards him. He calmly stood still and grasped the hilt of his sword.
When the cultivator surnamed Lin saw this, he coldly snorted and light flashed from his body. At the same time, he landed about ten steps away from Zhang Yu.
He believed that his failure last time was due to him not being on guard. Because they were both projections of power, even if there was a disparity between them, it wouldn't be too great.
But this time, he was prepared and wouldn't suffer the same loss as last time. He reached into his sleeve and took out the treasured pearl.
At that moment, Zhang Yu took a step forward and unsheathed his sword. Sword light faintly flashed.
The cultivator surnamed Lin had already poured his power into the treasured pearl and a layer of protective light appeared around his body. But then, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
He lowered his head and his eyes suddenly widened. He was astonished to find that a large hole had appeared in his chest. In that instant, Zhang Yu's sword had pierced through the light and pierced through his chest.
At this moment, Zhang Yu stepped forward. At the same time, he raised his hand and caught the flying Cicada Cry Sword.
The cultivator surnamed Lin raised his head and looked at him with incomparable shock and anger. "You …"
Just as he said that word, Zhang Yu came forward and slashed with his sword. With a swish, the cultivator surnamed Lin's head was sent flying and his headless corpse fell to the ground.
