I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 369 Battle

After exchanging the formation tokens, Chen Ping looked at the sky. The red sun had just risen not long ago, probably at the hour of Si Shi.

Time is enough.

He looked in the direction of the mysterious ruins and narrowed his eyes:

"Okay, let's get started."

The faces of Xiyue and the others became serious, knowing that this was the most critical moment.

Everyone performed their duties and went to the outside to ambush.

Chen Ping turned around and returned to the cave.

Dozens of silent notes were shot around the cave in one breath, so that the movement of the spell would have as little impact as possible on the outside.

Afterwards, he returned to the center of the cave, swallowed a Qi Gathering Pill, and drew out the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword.

The Taiqing Confinement Technique was engraved in the sky.

This time carving is different from practicing the confinement technique in the village. There is no room for sloppiness or even the slightest mistake.

He concentrated on carving every rune carefully and connecting every small branch line.

As long as any small place is not perfect, it may affect the resonance between subsequent Sword Intents.

If the resonance level is not enough.

This may prevent the Sword Intent from escaping.

Once the Sword Intent started roaring, he didn't have much opportunity for trial and error, and it was better to get it right the first time.

After the 108 runes were engraved, the runes shone with dazzling luster under the blessing of magic. Rows and columns of neatly arranged runes are connected to form a rectangular picture scroll.

Chen Ping continued to use the confinement technique.

The rectangular scroll in the air gradually curves, and then connects end to end, turning into a circle.

It is almost identical to the confinement technique engraved on the tower body in the ancient underground palace tower.

Chen Ping did not relax. He extracted the 9th, 39th, 69th, and 99th runes, used his spiritual power, and used the spell as the keynote to intersperse them to form a barrier spiritual net.

Avoid being affected by other factors imprisoned when the Sword Intent resonates.

When all this was carried out in an orderly manner, Chen Ping once again focused his attention on the Sword Intent reserve tank formed before and after the 99th rune.

According to the essence of the confinement technique that was learned after the 'Grand Master', some elements in the sword energy tank were slowly and meticulously stripped away to facilitate the sublimation and escape of the Sword Intent.

This process also requires excellence.

But Chen Ping has repeated this process countless times, and he is already familiar with it and will not make any mistakes.

Just cast the spell slowly.

"call!"

Chen Ping took a breath and stopped casting spells.

‘Finally, the engraving of the confinement technique has been completed. ’

not bad.

There were no dissatisfied strokes in the process.

Everything fell into place.

It’s true that I spent more than six years thinking about it.

Chen Ping looked at the masterpiece in front of him and was quite satisfied.

This process took more than 3 hours.

‘The only thing left to do is to inject Sword Intent into the Sword Intent reserve tank, and then let the Sword Intent overflow to resonate with the Sword Intent in the runes of the underground palace seven thousand miles away. ’

That's the most dangerous moment.

Chen Ping swallowed a pill of Qi Gathering and took a deep breath.

bring it on.

He took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword and pointed the tip of the sword towards the Sword Intent slot of the rune ring in the air.

Concentrate on it and recite the mantra silently.

Suddenly.

The surging Sword Intent poured out, rapidly injecting runes into the Sword Intent slot along the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

Not only was it imprisoned, the entire cave was filled with Sword Intent. The loose wall made countless sword marks among the flying Sword Intent, and clods of earth and gravel flew everywhere.

Outside the cave, there was no sound of wind, but countless reeds were cut into several sections in an instant.

Xiyue, who was ambushing outside the cave entrance, turned back and glanced at the temporary cave with clear eyes.

The body is tense and the eyebrows are slightly furrowed.

In the cave, Chen Ping knew that it was the most dangerous moment. Once the Sword Intent was injected, resonance could occur at any time, and visions could be detected at any time.

He worked hard and poured out all the swordsmanship and Sword Intent he had learned over the years without any reservation.

The special Sword Intent groove formed before and after the 99th rune is like a bottomless hole, and the Sword Intent is swallowed up instantly after being injected. But Chen Ping's Sword Intent was enough, and soon, the Sword Intent slot shook for the first time.

With a "bang", one wall of the cave collapsed.

…

"Bang!"

In the underground palace of the mysterious ruins, on top of the ancient tower that even the Gold Core Late Stage could not attack and destroy, a powerful aura suddenly swayed.

The middle section of the tower suddenly became transparent, and then instantly returned to its original state.

In a hidden stone house at the mysterious ruins, the old man, who was as emaciated as a mummy, suddenly opened his eyes and concentrated.

Then he disappeared with a "swish" sound.

After a while, the haggard old man appeared in the ancient pagoda underground palace.

He stood in front of the stone tower with his hands folded, looking up at the ancient tower, but found that there seemed to be nothing abnormal about the ancient tower, but at that moment, he clearly felt something abnormal and felt a throbbing.

At the same time, a young monk with one eye completely white walked in hurriedly, his eyes filled with frost. He looked at the withered old man and then at the ancient pagoda:

"Master, what happened?"

The withered old man never looked back:

"There is a strange phenomenon in the ancient tower. The Sword Intent built into the confinement is showing signs of escaping. Please notify us and focus on investigating the situation in the underground palace to see if anyone has broken in. Drive the Demonic Beast and guard the ruins. Of course, Leave a small number of people to conduct investigations within a radius of 10,000 miles centered on the mysterious ruins. Once anyone is found with evil intentions, he will be killed."

"Yes." The white-eyed young man handed over his hands, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Master, did Jiang Youwei do something? Will they attack the mysterious ruins again?"

"Hmph." The haggard old man snorted coldly:

"Who else could it be but him?"

"However, you can rest assured and arrange an investigation. Most of them will not attack in a large scale. The last time they attacked, they lost nearly half of their monks. In just a few years, they have not been able to attack again."

"Since Jiang Youwei dismantled his teleportation array in the last attack, he chose a hidden route to build it again. Hum, he did it the same way twice, thinking that I didn't know. I have a back-up plan for the teleportation array. Watching, there is no warning message."

The withered old man threw out a map:

"Lead some Demonic Beasts over and watch at the exit of the teleportation array. If any monks move, no matter who they are, shoot them to death."

"Understood." The white-eyed monk cupped his hands and retreated.

The haggard old man sat cross-legged in front of the ancient pagoda, watching the subtle changes in the ancient pagoda.

…

Village. In the ancient tower guarding formation.

In a secret room in the ancient pagoda, Jiang Youwei was practicing the art of confinement, but suddenly and inexplicably felt a sense of restlessness coming from upstairs.

He looked up at the floors above, shook his head, lowered his head and continued to study the confinement technique.

But after a while, the restless feeling just now came again.

then the third time

Jiang Youwei frowned, stood up and walked along the spiral steps to the upper floors of the ancient pagoda.

There is no difference on the second layer, but not on the third layer.

When we reached the stairs to the top floor, that feeling of restlessness came again.

Jiang Youwei couldn't help but speed up.

Quickly step onto the top floor.

Suddenly his breathing became rapid.

I saw a simple cylindrical crystal iron in the middle of the top layer, which was actually giving off a faint luster at this moment. That piece of crystal iron has always been dull.

Hundreds of years ago, a powerful senior used some special means to connect the ancient underground palace tower in the mysterious ruins with this ancient tower.

As long as the confinement of the ancient underground palace tower is greatly touched, this piece of crystal iron will shine.

Jiang Youwei didn't know who this senior was, nor did he know what the method was. Jiang Youwei didn't know why such a correlation was set up. Jiang Youwei only speculated that it was to monitor the movements of the underground palace.

These rumors he only heard from the previous leader of the ancient tower guardians.

But one thing Jiang Youwei is very sure about.

That is, whenever there is a major change in the imprisonment of the ancient ancient pagoda, this piece of crystal iron will indeed shine.

This phenomenon was verified during two attacks on the mysterious ruins.

‘Is there another Fellow Daoist attacking the mysterious ruins? ’

‘Sui Fellow Daoist them? ’

'impossible. They don't have the ability to attack the mysterious ruins in a large scale without joining forces with me. ’

Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but feel excited.

‘Could it be that Sui Fellow Daoist’s research on confinement techniques has made good progress, and they secretly sneaked into the underground palace of the mysterious ruins? ’

Did they actually find a way to sneak into the underground palace?

At this moment, the crystal iron flickered again.

Jiang Youwei couldn't sit still anymore.

‘Got to see it. Must go, must go. ’

‘Without the broken arm, all these years of planning will be in vain. ’

Jiang Youwei didn't want to stay for a moment, so he hurried downstairs, explained a few words, and then quickly disappeared into a basement with a hidden formation.

There, the entrance to the teleportation array was arranged.

The other end of the teleportation array is in the wasteland about 10,000 miles away from the mysterious ruins.

Since the last war, the original teleportation array route has been dismantled.

It stands to reason that it has only been a few years, and it is unlikely that much progress will be made in the confinement technique. It stands to reason that no one will be so eager to rebuild the second transmission route. But what Jiang Youwei did was unexpected.

Especially after seeing the severed arm clearly last time and seeing the power of that severed arm. Jiang Youwei realized that only by keeping himself close to the mysterious ruins could he feel completely at ease.

Anyway, his teleportation array is a living array, and others cannot enter without a control token.

Only he can use it.

In the temporary cave where Chen Ping is.

Chen Ping focused on casting spells, continuously pouring Sword Intent into the Sword Intent slot.

As Sword Intent becomes more and more abundant, the Sword Intent slot becomes more and more crowded, and the process of casting spells becomes more and more resistant and difficult.

During this process, the aura turbulence of the Sword Intent slot became more and more intense each time.

Chen Ping did not relax and continued to cast spells with all his strength.

Outside the cave.

Xiyue, Nannan, and Zhu Caiyi lurked in the wilderness, watching the movements of Demonic Beasts hundreds of miles away.

As Chen Ping's Sword Intent behind them became stronger and stronger, the movement became louder and louder.

All the reed fields within a radius of two to three miles have been razed to the ground.

They still found that more and more Demonic Beasts began to appear around them, and they knew that the withered old man in the mysterious ruins must have noticed something abnormal.

In Canglan Grassland, only a few mysterious figures such as the withered old man have the ability to control the Demonic Beast here.

Finally, a Rank Three Demonic Beast came straight towards this side.

Eighty miles, fifty miles, thirty miles.

"I'll lure it away." Nan Nan said expressionlessly.

If the Demonic Beast really discovered them, it would be more practical to lure it away instead of letting it come here to fight.

It won't cause too much commotion here.

"Okay." Xiyue's face was also expressionless.

After a pause, he looked over:

"Be careful and try not to fight to the death. This time four of us are coming. Try to get four of us to go back together."

Nan Nan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Xi Yue, then turned around and disappeared quickly.

Not long after, a Demonic Beast appeared in close range.

Xiyue turned to look at her companions.

Zhu Caiyi met Xiyue's gaze, nodded, turned around and disappeared into the reeds.

Another period of time passed, and the movement of the Sword Intent behind Xiyue became louder and louder.

She looked dozens of miles away and saw more and more Demonic Beasts coming in this direction.

She knew there was no need to distract him.

The movement of the Sword Intent is large enough that it may be vaguely perceived within dozens of miles.

Xiyue turned her head and glanced behind her a few miles away - the place where Chen Ping cast the spell.

She turned around and looked outside, her eyes flying out firmly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"."

The sound of battle sounded in three directions at the same time.

The Demonic Beasts within a radius of ten miles moved upon hearing the news and quickly gathered towards the source of the three sounds.

The three of them focused on escaping from the Demonic Beast, trying to keep the noise of the battle as low as possible.

Even so, there are more and more Demonic Beasts.

Not long after, Demonic Beast appeared outside Chen Ping's cave and began to frequently attack the defensive formation.

Xiyue took a deep breath, cast a spell to rise into the sky, turned around and quickly galloped towards the defensive formation.

Nan Nan and Zhu Caiyi turned around and ran at the same time when they saw the signal.

At this moment, there is no point in attacking them separately. Their actual combat skills are only the early and middle stages of Gold Core. Not to mention the Rank Three Late Stage. As long as there is even a powerful Demonic Beast with a Rank Three middle stage, they basically only have Zhou Xuan's fate of absconding.

Now that the defensive array has been discovered.

Instead of doing this, it is better to return to the defensive formation and rely on the protection of the defensive formation to continuously attack and attack the Demonic Beast.

The three of them quickly returned to the formation.

"Don't leave the formation, hide in the formation, attack them with all your strength, and delay the time when the formation is broken." Xiyue shouted.

She was a little surprised to find that there was not a single Rank Three Late Stage Demonic Beast here, but some Rank Two Demonic Beasts and some Rank Three early and mid-stage Demonic Beasts.

She can't control so much anymore, and anyway, this is a good thing for them.

"good."

The three of them were separated in three directions.

"Bang~, ew, go to hell~"

"..."

the other side.

Because Jiang Youwei's teleportation array is basically continuous, only certain sections require flying a certain distance. And because there was no burden from the Foundation Building monk, he quickly appeared in front of the penultimate teleportation node.

Jiang Youwei snorted and stepped into the last teleportation array.

After a while, it came out from the other end.

"Mysterious ruins, I, Jiang Youwei, have returned. I want to see what happened here."

Just as he was thinking this, he saw a Rank Three Late Stage Demonic Beast on the opposite side slowly emerging from the reed field. It was obvious that the Demonic Beast had restrained its aura just now.

Immediately afterwards, one appeared behind him.

Then the left, then the right.

Jiang Youwei was shocked.

These Demonic Beasts were obviously prepared.

He must have been lying in wait here for a long time.

…damn it.

...I was careless, I didn’t expect the formation to be discovered.

Without saying a word, he turned around and retreated into the teleportation array.

"Bang!" A stream of light cut off his retreat. The exit of the teleportation array also became precarious, and the array was close to collapse.

This teleportation array was a formation he had only prepared in Canglan Grassland, and the array plates and other equipment were not of the highest quality.

The stability itself is not that great.

Jiang Youwei twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that the formation was no longer suitable for entering. If he was attacked by these Demonic Beasts when he first entered the formation, he might never come out and be chopped into pieces in the cracks of space.

Of course, facing several Rank Three Late Stage Demonic Beasts alone, he was not stupid enough to confront them head-on.

In a flash of lightning, he launched a fierce attack on one of the Demonic Beasts. Regardless of being attacked from behind, he tore a hole open and quickly withdrew from the encirclement.

Fight and retreat.
