I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 438: In the middle of the duel, use the opponent's strategy against them (updated in th

"What virtue and ability did Lu have? A mere newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, how could the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley personally take action?"

Looking at the harmless white fat old man, Lu Chang'an's face was solemn, as if it was a little unexpected.

"Lu Changqing, your reputation has spread throughout the Eastern Region. You are no longer an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Why do you have to pretend in front of me?"

The Great Elder smiled, touched his exposed belly, and said slowly.

Over the years, Lu Chang'an has brought too much trouble to the Beast King Valley, directly disrupting the existing strategic plan.

Lu Chang'an returned to the Eastern Region, bringing three Nascent Soul combat forces, making the leader of the Weidao Alliance not seek peace. The peaceful evolution of the annexation plan failed.

Lu Chang'an humiliated the Peacock Saint and slapped the two Nascent Soul elders in the face, making the Beast King Valley unprepared and hastily starting the war of cultivating immortals.

A few years ago, Lu Chang'an caused the loss of two True Lords of the Beast King Valley, which once again affected the balance of the top combat power of both sides.

What the Beast King Valley feared most was that Lu Changqing killed two fourth-level beast kings, both of which were killed in one blow.

Lu Changan's existence has become a nightmare for the Beast King Valley's war machine!

If this continues, the Beast King Valley will be unable to attack the Wei Dao League, and the only positive advantage will be gone.

Lu Changan's influence is not limited to the magic battlefield on the Wei Dao League's side, and even indirectly affects the Seven Nations League.

The situation of the Seven Nations League has stabilized in recent years.

The Beast King Valley not only withdrew the aid from there, but also asked for help from the Mingquan Sect and the Wujian Sect, which in disguise weakened the offensive firepower of the Seven Nations League.

"The elder came here today, but is he planning to kill Lu?"

Lu Changan sighed in his heart. It seems that it is difficult to fish in troubled waters in the main battlefield and take the opportunity to capture and kill the demon Yuanying.

He borrowed the power of the Heavenly Master and laid out for a long time, covering up a lot of secrets.

But the elder of the Beast King Valley is also a fourth-level divination master, and it is not so easy to deceive.

As long as this elder is not stupid, he can now be sure of one fact:

Lu Changan is the biggest variable that determines the outcome of this war between immortal cultivators, and even the key to victory or defeat.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to lower his status and came to target Lu Changan in person.

"This elder does not like fighting and killing."

"As long as Lu Zhenjun, Di Yanjun, and Xia Xianzi do not leave this frontline area, I am happy to be idle."

The elder's tone was easy-going, and it seemed that he had no intention of killing.

Lu Changan was not confused by this appearance.

If possible, the Beast King Valley would like to tear him into pieces.

However, Lu Changan represents the three Yuanying forces, and even if it is the leader of the Demon Sect in the middle stage of the Yuanying, it is unrealistic to want to kill him head-on.

...

"It is too arrogant for the elder to want to contain the three Yuanying forces of us alone."

Lu Changan's eyes flickered, and the [Black Sky Wings] behind him spread out, trying to fly to Yuanliu City and support the front battlefield with Xia Xianzi.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't you give it a try."

The elder was not in a hurry, and turned into a stream of white light, blending into the sky.

Lu Chang'an had just flown a hundred miles.

Thunderous sound came from the thick clouds again, and the mana fluctuations of the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, accompanied by the overwhelming spiritual pressure, made people feel numb.

Lu Chang'an's heart suddenly trembled, and he used the green mana shield, dodged quickly, and instantly split into three.

Swish-swish--

More than a dozen translucent crystal silks mysteriously appeared from the void, passing through Lu Chang'an's rapidly dodging figure.

Lu Chang'an's two phantom wood clones were swept by the strange silk and instantly shattered.

"Crack".

Lu Chang'an's body protection shield cracked in response, and was pierced by two crystal silks that passed by.

Lu Chang'an's body felt cold, and a clearly visible crack appeared on the white robe on his shoulder.

The translucent crystal silk was a magical power that the great elder of the Beast King Valley had cultivated by combining his natal silkworm. It was extremely fast and could travel through the shallow layer of the void, making it impossible to defend against.

Its characteristics were similar to Jing Wufeng's spatial attack methods, and it was more continuous and uninterrupted.

Whoosh!

The black wings behind Lu Changan flapped, accelerating his dodge while causing a black haze that swept across a hundred feet.

However, the crystal silk was extremely tough and had strong penetrating power. Many of them penetrated the black wind barrier, forcing Lu Changan to dodge left and right.

"You are worthy of being the leader of the Demon Sect."

Lu Changan took a deep breath and did not dare to neglect it. He sacrificed his magic weapon [Dragon Wood Staff].

The [Dragon Wood Staff] swelled up in the wind and turned into a nearly hundred-foot-long ancient tree. The blood-colored dragon shadow was outlined on the surface, blocking most of the crystal silk attacks.

The [Dragon Wood Staff] was entangled by crystal silk, and the surface light was dim. The volume shrank rapidly, and it was obviously unable to hold on.

In fact, fire-attributed magic weapons or magical powers are more effective against this kind of silk attack. For example, the top-grade magic weapon Lihuo Gourd.

Swish! Swish! Swish...

Lu Changan used the puppet control technique again, and twelve third-level top-level puppets appeared around him.

In the puppet army formation, twelve puppet forces gathered and connected in series, arcs flickered, forming a purple-blue puppet force formation diagram.

A purple-blue light shield protected Lu Changan, bursting out strands of electric fire light, resisting the strange crystal silk that swept in from the shallow layer of the void.

That momentum seemed to turn into an overwhelming net, trapping Lu Changan and the puppet formation together.

"Such a large-scale puppet army formation! This kid really has hidden means."

As expected, the great elder of the Beast King had a gleam in his eyes.

The stronger the strength Lu Changan showed, the higher the value of his personal targeting.

The current military formation consisting of twelve third-level top-level puppets is enough to withstand the offensive of the veteran Yuanying early stage.

Including Lu Changan himself, they barely managed to stand firm under the first round of probing attacks by the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley.

"Little friend Lu, let's see what other tricks you have."

The Great Elder was very interested and stretched out his arm, and an ancient and strange compass flew out of his sleeve.

Whoosh!

The compass magic weapon hovered over Lu Changan and the puppet army formation, emitting an invisible and intangible ripple.

The ripple vortex that was invisible to the naked eye pulled and absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy and mana.

Lu Changan suddenly felt that his mana consumption increased, and the control of the magic weapon became difficult, and his mana and magical powers were invisibly weakened.

Even the puppet army formation was restricted.

The puppet mana that started the operation of the puppet formation was inexplicably lost a lot, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the puppet formation.

Lu Changan looked ugly.

With the puppet army formation, he thought he was enough to compete with the newly promoted middle-stage Yuanying Zhenjun like Mingshui Zhenjun.

Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley.

The consumption of puppet crystals in many puppets increased sharply, and they might not be able to hold on for too long.

"Master, I'll help you!"

In the hills under his feet, earth-colored crystal light emerged, emitting a majestic earthly evil spirit.

Seeing his master being suppressed, Di Yanjun had to take action in advance.

It turned into a giant rat king, causing a yellow sandstorm in the sky, accompanied by huge rolling stones, to hit the Great Elder and the compass magic weapon.

The Great Elder smiled slightly and pinched the magic formula. The magic power urged the compass in the sky to spin, and a mysterious hole emerged in the invisible ripple vortex.

Huh~

In an instant, the yellow sandstorm and huge rolling stones that swept in were greatly reduced in momentum and collapsed. The scattered magic power was all absorbed.

On the contrary, the rotating compass, the spiritual light suddenly increased, and there was a brief stagnation.

Bang!

The compass burst into a fan-shaped wave, containing a powerful force field, and hit the fourth-level rat king hard.

Di Yanjun groaned, flew backwards, his head was slightly sunken, and some blood oozing out.

Fortunately, the demon king's body was thick and tough, and it was just some external injuries.

But the huge counterattack momentum came to an abrupt end.

From the beginning of the confrontation to the appearance of the puppet army formation and Di Yanjun, Lu Changan's side did not pose any threat to the elder of the Beast King Valley.

"This old guy has powerful magic and profound background. No wonder Chu Tianfeng said that on the battlefield, you only need to contain him and don't think about posing a threat, otherwise it will only be thankless."

Lu Changan was a little skeptical at first, but after some testing, he had some experience.

He adjusted his strategy and let Di Yanjun and the puppet army formation focus on defense. In the defensive state, the consumption of the puppet army formation is also reduced accordingly.

In this way, it is indeed much easier.

The elder of the Beast King Valley does not seem to pose much threat to him.

"Lu Chang'an, if you can reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, your magic power and consciousness will be even stronger. This elder really has no way to deal with you."

The elder sighed, and his calm eyes flashed with a sharp divine light.

The fat body, the robe fluttering, took a step, like a mountain moving a hundred feet.

Slaughtering Soul Hand!

The elder's palm expanded to the size of a cattail leaf fan, with white silk wrapped around it, igniting a blood-black ghost flame, and slapped Lu Chang'an in the air.

Lu Chang'an's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a long-lost sense of crisis.

Hu peng!

The huge slaughtering soul hand with black and white marks, half solid and half nothingness, slapped Lu Chang'an at an unavoidable speed.

At that moment, the space where Lu Chang'an was located had an illusion of overlapping and squeezing.

Di Yanjun, who was not far away, was affected, and his soul felt slightly dizzy and confused, and his blood and qi were floating.

Lu Chang'an, who was hit head-on, had his magic shield around him collapse on the spot.

Not only that, he instantly cast a fourth-level spiritual talisman water shield, which was also shattered by the half-empty Tu Ling hand.

"Tu Ling exterminates the soul..."

Lu Chang'an's figure swayed, his face slightly pale, and his brows furrowed.

The half-empty Tu Ling hand not only hit his body, but also impacted the Yuanying's soul.

Lu Chang'an used the soul secret technique in "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" to soothe his briefly confused consciousness. The slightly painful blue Yuanying in his body quickly calmed down and returned to normal.

At the same time, Changqing's magic power automatically operated to soothe the tiny hidden injuries in his body and damaged his vitality.

On the other side, the great elder launched an explosive attack, consuming a lot of magic power, and his consciousness and vitality, and also paused for a while.

"Blocked? This kid doesn't seem to be seriously injured."

The great elder frowned slightly and looked at Lu Chang'an who stabilized his body. He did not achieve the expected effect of vomiting blood on the spot.

Lu Chang'an opened his eyes and lightly licked the blood at the corner of his lips, looking unsatisfied.

He hadn't been injured for many years, even a minor one.

"The elder's palm just now hurt me a little. But the aftermath was an indescribable tingling and refreshing feeling."

Under the flow of Changqing's magic power, the minor injuries suffered by Lu Changan's quasi-fourth-level physique healed in an instant and recovered completely.

The elder's pupils condensed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Don't be too arrogant, little friend Lu! Don't hold it in if you are injured, otherwise it will cause problems."

Having said that, the elder felt that the previous attack of the Tuling Hand, after two layers of buffering, hit Lu Changan, which was a little strange.

Lu Changan's body was much tougher than expected, and it seemed that he was also a practicing body, and he had quite some accomplishments.

In addition, Lu Changan's Yuanying consciousness was strong, stronger than some old-fashioned Yuanying, and he also practiced exquisite soul secrets.

Various factors led to his explosive killing move not achieving the expected effect.

But if he said that it posed almost no threat to Lu Changan, he still couldn't believe it.

However, in the following battle, Lu Changan's magic power was strong and endless. The magic weapon controlled by his spiritual consciousness was flexible and free.

Obviously, he was not injured.

"This kid is really a turtle shell!"

The elder of the Beast King Valley sighed secretly and simply gave up the plan to seriously injure and defeat Lu Changan.

Although the slaughtering hand just now was not his strongest method, it was quite lethal and could not cause substantial damage to Lu Changan.

He realized that Lu Changqing was similar to himself and his self-protection ability was far superior to that of the same level.

When two turtle shells met, it was naturally difficult to tell the winner.

Above the clouds, Lu Changan and the elder of the Beast King Valley fought for a while. Both sides adapted to each other's methods. They fought back and forth, and neither could do anything to the other.

The elder was relatively calm and took more initiative.

During the battle, Lu Changan confirmed that the elder had the third-level late body refining attainments.

Chu Tianfeng said that this person's natal silkworm has super strong recovery and healing abilities.

However, Lu Changan has not yet hurt the elder of the Beast King Valley;

At this moment, a cold frost escape light came from the side, exuding the magic power of the Nascent Soul stage.

"My husband, I'm here to help you!"

Fairy Xia came from the side and cooperated with Lu Changan to attack the elder.

The elder's eyelids twitched slightly, it was really endless.

As a thousand-year-old Nascent Soul, he was so old and was about to face a group fight by Lu Changan and the other two.

The original plan was to contain the three Nascent Soul forces of Lu Changan, Di Yanjun, and Fairy Xia.

But before that, Fairy Xia had not made a move, and Lu Changan was enough to compete with him.

He had to admit that Lu Changan's true strength was much stronger than initially expected.

If it was Master Meng who came, he might be suppressed or even suffer a loss.

Fairy Xia came to kill, and the elder did not give in, but his expression became serious.

Fairy Xia made hand gestures, her skirt fluttered, snowflakes flew, she looked like an ice fairy.

A gorgeous dreamlike, crystal jade-made ice lotus magic weapon flew out from her body.

The ice lotus magic weapon was divided into seven, turning into seven ice crystal light lotuses with green light. Some ice crystal light lotuses rotated around the body to protect the body, and some were extremely flexible to attack the elder of the Beast King Valley.

Every attack of the ice crystal light lotus was like an iceberg hitting, the ice shattered and exploded, and the cold air penetrated the bones.

"This treasure is both offensive and defensive, flexible and magical, powerful, and is definitely not a product of Daqing..."

The elder was slightly surprised, and finally understood why the Black Feather True Lord and the Ten Thousand Cranes Elders were defeated at that time.

Fairy Xia has an innate Taoist body, which has a bonus to cold magic spells, which just fits the powerful magic weapon. Its fighting strength is no less than that of the old Yuanying in the early stage.

Facing the siege of the four, the elder felt pressured and had to sacrifice the [Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Clothes] to protect himself.

The treasured robe made of silkworm silk, with dense white silk flowing with luminous light, forms a white and hazy treasured robe light shield.

[Tiancan Treasure Robe] is impervious to water and fire. With the powerful magic support of the leader of the Demon Sect, it blocks half of the enemy's offensive.

The Great Elder of the Beast King manipulated the compass magic weapon at the same time, weakening Lu Changan and the fighting strength of the puppet formation, absorbing magic power and spiritual power, and counterattacking from time to time.

"The old guy is really capable."

Lu Changan remained calm, with one hand retracted into his sleeve.

Di Yanjun and Fairy Xia, who were informed, immediately cooperated to attack.

Di Yanjun performed the earth binding technique to pull the body of the Great Elder.

Fairy Xia opened her mouth and spit out several blue-green ice flames, exuding a dangerous breath, and flew towards the Great Elder.

This is her natal ice flame that she cultivated from the secret method inherited from True Lord Ling Xue, combining her Taoist talent.

Coupled with Lu Changan's frontal attack of [Dragon Wood Staff], the elder fought and retreated, and the white light shield of the treasure clothes on his body suddenly dimmed.

Almost at the same time, Lu Changan's hand hidden in his sleeves exerted force secretly.

Swish——

A feathered poison needle passed through the air with a blurry afterimage, and hit the target accurately under the preparation of many attacks.

With a "puff", the treasure clothes light shield was finally broken.

The elder avoided the vital point, and the feathered poison needle pierced into the treasure clothes woven with silk.

A trace of blood oozed out of the surface of the silk.

Lu Changan's face was happy.

This feathered poison needle was coated with a mixed fourth-level poison, which came from the original [Five Animals Poison Fire Fan]. Back then, the old evil Shen was particularly good at using poison.

Maybe it is not fatal to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but it is enough to reduce the target's state and fighting strength.

"Lu Turtle, you are really good at calculating, vicious and cunning."

The elder's face was slightly gloomy.

Unexpectedly.

The elder who was stabbed by the poison needle did not look panicked or angry, nor did he take the detoxification pill immediately.

The elder stretched out two fingers and pinched out the feathered poison needle on the treasure robe, saying in a calm tone:

"This level of fourth-level poison can't hurt me."

It turned out that his natal silkworm had a magical detoxification function.

Even the silkworm treasure robe on his body had a good isolation effect on the poison.

Therefore, even if the feathered poison needle scratched the elder's flesh, there was no real threat.

He didn't even need to take the detoxification.

The elder saw Lu Changan, who was slightly dazed in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

At this sight, his face changed drastically.

Swish!

Lu Changan in the distance was just an illusory afterimage.

It turned out that when the elder was hit by the feather poison needle and was distracted for a short time, Lu Changan performed the "Phantom Wood Clone".

A figure with green light appeared on the other side of the elder.

Withering Divine Light!

Lu Changan decisively performed the forbidden art of shortening life. A deep and twisted withered green light condensed in his palm, exuding the breath of the passage of time, and hit the body of the great elder again.

Puff!

The treasure robe light shield, which had not yet fully healed, was broken by the withered divine light again.

"Not good!"

As a thousand-year-old man, the great elder's heart jumped, and he felt a threat that he had not seen in hundreds of years.

He turned into a white light and retreated rapidly.

The spiritual light of the [Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe] on his body dimmed. The silk fabric after the refining ban lost its luster and withered on a large area.

In the torn treasure robe, a dry blood hole was left on his chest.

"Lu Turtle, how dare you--"

The great elder got angry for the first time, and the fat on his round face trembled slightly, and his heart was bleeding.

The previous blow reduced his life span by ten years and his life blood essence was lost.

If it was an ordinary injury, he would not care at all, because his life silkworm would heal in an instant.

However, the deprived life span could not be recovered.

In addition to the loss of lifespan, the spirituality of [Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Clothes] was damaged, and the defensive effect was sharply reduced.

However, no matter how heartbroken and angry he was, he could not change the fact that he was injured, his lifespan was shortened, and he suffered a great loss.

...

"Prepare to retreat!"

Lu Changan suddenly raised his hand, not only did he not pursue the victory, but also asked Fairy Xia and Lord Di Yan to stop.

At present, the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley was injured, his blood was depleted, and his defensive treasure clothes were damaged. His state and strength will definitely decline.

"This injury has no substantial impact on the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley."

Lu Changan explained as he retreated.

You know, the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley, the natal Heavenly Silkworm, has another magical power of "resurrection from cocoon" to restore to full state.

Although this magical power can only be used once within a hundred years.

From beginning to end, Lu Changan never thought of seriously injuring or defeating the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley.

It is already a relatively ideal situation to shorten his lifespan by ten years and make him feel dreadful.

Among the mid-stage Nascent Souls that Lu Changan had encountered, if Yu Huang brought the greatest pressure, then the great elder of the Beast King Valley was the "strongest shield".

"This kid, he didn't chase me anymore..."

The great elder stroked his chest. The wound caused by the withered divine light strangled his vitality, and the healing speed of his natal silkworm was abnormally slow.

He was obviously the injured party, but it was Lu Changan who chose to evacuate.

He took advantage and ran away?

The great elder felt worse than eating a fly.

"The situation is clear..."

Lu Changan was already using the fourth-level divination technique, sensing the turning point of the destiny, and the fog of the destiny that was shrouding and blocking him completely dissipated.

The blue Nascent Soul in Lu Changan's body was blessed, and a trace of intrigue was generated, as if some opportunity would come.

There were still two hundred miles away from the frontline town, and Lu Changan instinctively looked in a certain direction.

...

Hundreds of miles away, a demonic wind and evil spirit swept in the sky.

A fourth-level roc with a wingspan of twenty feet came at lightning speed.

On the roc, a man in a green robe with a full forehead and ordinary face, about thirty years old, was sitting cross-legged.

There was no fluctuation of mana on the man in the green robe. The Yuanying and mana in his body were sealed by some secret technique, without leaking any breath, and he relied on the roc to fly.

"Daoyou Lu, please stay! Chen has been a spiritual friend for a long time, and I came to the Weidao League to visit you. I have something important to discuss."

The roc that the green-robed man sat on was as fast as the middle stage of the Yuanying, and it was approaching quickly.

At the same time, he glanced at the position of the great elder of the Beast King Valley and frowned slightly.

"It was agreed that there would be a big battle, at least to injure Lu Changqing and seriously damage his vitality? The situation seems to be wrong..."

"Is there a trick? The old immortals of the six sects of the Demon Dao cannot be trusted."

After all, he was chased by the Yuanying strongmen of the two sects of the Demon Dao, and almost lost his life.

If the situation is not delicate now, the two camps are balancing each other, and the opportunity is rare, he would not choose to cooperate with the Beast King Valley.

"This opportunity will indeed attract you..."

Lu Changan silently estimated the distance.

With his speed of escape, he can retreat to the frontline town before the other party arrives.

"You go back to the frontline town first and act according to the plan in your husband's jade slip."

Lu Changan stayed behind to cover the retreat, and let Fairy Xia evacuate first.

"Husband, be careful." Xia Wenyue was a little worried, but did not ask more.

In fact, Fairy Xia's stay is also a great help.

But the next game is not small. Lu Changan has too many secrets, so it's better to avoid them.

Lu Changan chose to cover the retreat.

In this way, three powerful auras appeared on the field:

On one side is the great elder of the Beast King Valley, with the strongest mana.

On the other side is the fourth-level Peng bird.

The mana of the Nascent Soul sealed by Qingmu Zhenjun has just been unlocked, and the aura of "Eternal Green Art" exuded makes Lu Changan feel very cordial.

The last party is Lu Changan and Di Yanjun, who seem to be the weakest.

The three parties are almost an equilateral triangle, facing each other from a distance, keeping a distance of dozens of miles, and are wary of each other.
