Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 470 The Distorted Shadow

"Buzz"

The exit passage was shaking, and a light red light curtain fell from top to bottom, blocking the entrance of the cave.

"not good!"

Zhou Ziwen's expression changed, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he did not stop and still ran towards the exit quickly.

"I didn't expect that after three thousand years of corrosion, this formation can still function!"

His face became a little ugly.

More than three thousand years have passed. No matter how powerful and sophisticated the formation is, loopholes and errors will appear under the corrosion of time.

Zhou Ziwen originally thought that since the Heavenly Fire Patriarch, no one had maintained it, and even though the two sets of fourth-order formations had no problems on the surface, they were full of loopholes internally.

But he never expected that this formation mechanism could still function? !

"There was obviously no response when I came in?!"

Zhou Ziwen was shocked and angry, his face changed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

As the exit got closer, he made a decision with a fierce look on his face.

While resisting the attacks of the four people behind him, he took out a black scepter spiritual weapon. The blood-red crystal stone inlaid on the head of the sword shone slightly. He raised his hand and shot three powerful dark red blood arrows, pointing directly at the light-colored scepter that blocked the entrance of the cave. Red light curtain.

"Another top-quality spiritual weapon!"

"The power of each of the three blood arrows is not weaker than the second-level best spell, and it is an extremely rare blood spell."

"Although there is a reason for using a spiritual weapon, it can be released with the raising of one's hand. It is obvious that the blood magic is very profound!"

"This person's identity is definitely more than just a traitor to the Holy Fire Cult."

"This kind of strength can already reach the level of the "Three Heroes and Four Heroes"."

Looking at Zhou Ziwen controlling two top-quality spiritual weapons, Liu Yu had many thoughts, and then secretly sounded the alarm in his heart, warning himself not to underestimate the world's heroes.

Although his cultivation strength has improved by leaps and bounds, the opponents he faces are not the same group as before.

Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen, the eyebrowless male cultivator of Tianmo Sect, and the scarred female cultivator of Tianyi Sect

The opponents encountered during the trip to the secret realm are all capable of touching the level of top foundation building.

If you have achieved a little bit, you will be arrogant and arrogant, and it is very likely that you will capsize in the gutter.

After the inner lake calmed down, Liu Yu exerted her physical strength in the middle stage of foundation building and slashed out several black sword shadows with her sword without revealing any flaws in her words and deeds.

Right now, the enemy is showing the light and we are hiding. If we make good use of it, we may get miraculous effects at the critical moment.

When the body cultivation method reaches the foundation-building realm, it is not that there are no long-range attack methods at all, but the power is somewhat unsatisfactory.

It's okay to bully the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, but it's not enough to deal with the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Zi Zi"

Facing the several black sword shadows that came towards him, Zhou Ziwen just glanced at them casually and waved his hand with a flash of dark red blood, eroding the sword shadows far away.

For such a result, Liu Yu had already expected it in his heart. He was not angry when he saw it, and still attacked with his sword shadow from a distance.

The opponent is at the peak level of foundation building, and he also possesses two top-quality spiritual weapons and is proficient in bloody and weird blood spells.

Against such a powerful monk, we can't let him rush over to die with a mid-stage foundation-building body, right? !

So Liu Yu paddled with peace of mind and just used the Dark Moon Sword to cut out the sword shadow and attack from a distance.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Three dark red blood arrows successively bombarded the light red light curtain blocking the entrance of the cave. The powerful power caused the light curtain to vibrate and roar.

"Zi Zi"

Then the blood arrow turned into a blood-red liquid, constantly eroding the light red light curtain, making a sound like frying, and wisps of blue smoke rose from the hole.

"Um?"

One blow had such an obvious effect, Zhou Ziwen was immediately startled.

Immediately, I realized that although this formation mechanism could still be opened, it had little power left over the years, and it was possible to break through it by force.

Seeing this, his movements did not stop at all.

On the two-foot-sized black scepter, the blood-red spar flashed brightly, and he raised his hand and shot three more larger and thicker blood arrows.

"No, the formation is unstable, stop him quickly."

"We must not let this traitor succeed and leave with the Holy Fire Sword. We must clean up the door now."

"Everyone, follow me and attack with all your strength!"

Seeing that the light red light curtain was unstable, the female cult member Zi Shi frowned and immediately drove a high-grade spiritual weapon and two top-grade magical weapons towards Zhou Ziwen.

Liu Yu was not surprised that he could possess a high-grade spiritual weapon.

No matter how desolate the Holy Fire Sect is, it was once a powerful sect with an extraordinary background.

Before Shi Renjie's death, his overall strength was even higher than that of ordinary Jindan forces.

Zishan is not only a core member of the cult, but he is also in the late stage of foundation building. To a certain extent, he is already "uncommon". It is not surprising to have a high-grade spiritual weapon.

…

"ding ding" "bang bang"

On the sea of ​​fire, the five people fought fiercely.

For the Holy Fire Cult, the Holy Fire Sword itself has extraordinary significance, and it is also an extremely powerful magic weapon that is impossible to give up.

Therefore, the three people in purple shirt did not have any reservation in taking action, and their attitude of taking back the sword was very determined.

After chasing and escaping, several people were approaching the exit in the blink of an eye.

With no way to go, Zhou Ziwen could only stop and face the attacks of Liu Yu and Zishan head-on.

Waiting for an opportunity to move toward the light red light curtain, and occasionally cast a blood spell.

The three people in Zishan are all in the late stage of foundation building, and they all possess high-grade spiritual weapons. "Hong Hao" is also very powerful.

Faced with the siege of four people, Zhou Ziwen was gradually at a disadvantage, and he gradually became unable to attack the light red light curtain.

"Blood magic, peak foundation building, powerful."

"He is ruthless and ruthless."

"Fellow Daoist Hong, do you feel that the methods exposed by this traitor seem a bit familiar, as if you have seen them not long ago?"

Purple Shirt said.

Looking at Zhou Ziwen who was casting a blood spell, with wisps of blood lingering around her body and a fishy aura, her expression was unusually solemn, as if she had thought of something.

"What does the Purple Shirt Fairy mean by this?"

After receiving the message, Liu Yu waved the Dark Moon Sword in his hand and attacked continuously, and said in confusion.

Then I looked at Zhou Ziwen's current appearance again, and felt a sense of déjà vu.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked tentatively:

"You mean fairy?"

Seeing Zhou Ziwen borrowing the black scepter and using the blood spells at random, Zishan nodded solemnly:

"Fellow Daoist Hong is right, it is the "Shadow of Distortion"!"

Then, she muttered to herself in a daze:

"But Zhou Ziwen was adopted by the Holy Cult since he was a child and was carefully taught by Elder Shi himself. Why did he become like this?"

"Why do you want to be a traitor? Why do you want to destroy humanity? Why do you want to be a twisted shadow?"

However, these questions of Zishan are destined to remain unanswered now with the death of elder Shi Renjie.

And the fact is before her, Uncle Yang died and the Holy Sword was taken away, she will not let this traitor go no matter what!

"Twisted Shadow?"

Hearing this, Liu Yu felt extremely solemn in her heart.

Evil cultivators are rampant in the land of Xisha. Shenshamen has joined forces with large and small cultivators to establish a reward office, aiming to combat the arrogance of evil cultivators.

The monks who can be rewarded by the Bounty Office are all lawless people who have been found to have solid evidence.

Murder, looting, rape, robbery, blood sacrifice to mortals, all kinds of evil deeds.

Among them, the evil cultivator with the highest reward in the foundation-building realm is the twisted shadow, which is worse than the normal evil cultivator.

According to legend, this man was extremely vicious and committed all kinds of evil. Once he took action, he would leave no one behind.

No matter cultivators or mortals, no matter men, women, old or young, they were all slaughtered without any reason, leaving no one alive.

What disgusts other evil cultivators is that the Distorted Shadow also destroyed the "oasis", the source of life, causing Xisha to lose these places suitable for reproduction forever. It is simply unconscionable and inhumane.

Not only the normal cultivators hated him, but even the evil cultivators wanted to get rid of him quickly.

According to the oral accounts of survivors, Twisted Shadow is extremely proficient in blood.

When massacring mortals on a large scale, blood magic is used to drain the blood of living people and turn them into mummies.

There are millions of wronged souls under his blood law!

Regarding the Twisted Shadow's massacre of mortals, Liu Yu didn't have any feelings as long as it had nothing to do with him.

However, his destruction of the "oasis" caused all monks and mortals to permanently lose a home they depended on for survival. This kind of outrageous behavior made even him, who prides himself on being decisive in killing, feel very disgusted!

"Such a profound blood spell, even if it is not the Shadow of Distortion, is definitely closely related to it."

Liu Yu agreed with Zishan's opinion, and based on various signs of Zhou Ziwen's action, he already made a judgment in his mind.

…

"Bang bang"

In the third-level fire world of the secret realm, the roar of magic weapons continued one after another.

At seven or eight breaths into the official battle, under the siege of Liu Yu and Zishan, Zhou Ziwen was still at a disadvantage despite his profound magic and sharp weapons.

Although his life is temporarily safe, he is unable to attack the light red light curtain, and has become a turtle in the urn.

At this time, Tang Tianbao had arrived.

"Why?!"

"Why do you want to seize the Holy Sword, why do you want to attack me, why do you want to kill Uncle Yang!!"

With veins popping up on Guo Zi's face, Tang Tianbao asked with an extremely gloomy tone.

With the blessing of magic, his voice penetrated the roar of the fighting skills and reached Zhou Ziwen's ears clearly.

Maybe he was sure of victory, or maybe he wanted to find out, but in short, this person did not choose to take action immediately.

At this time, there was still a trace of disbelief on Tang Tianbao's face.

He couldn't believe that this fellow disciple who grew up with him in the church would do such a heinous thing.

The grace of adoption, the grace of education, the grace of immortality

All kinds of great kindness, even if it is repaid with life, it is not an exaggeration, why choose to betray?

Tang Tianbao didn't care whether Zhou Ziwen was a twisted shadow or not, or how many evil things he had done, but he could not let go of his betrayal of the sect!

"betray?"

Zhou Ziwen spoke calmly, and there seemed to be a wave of emotion on his serious face.

"Why seize the Holy Sword?"

"My trip here is just to get what I deserve."

"Why did I attack you?"

"It's just because you and that old guy blocked my way."

"As for betrayal?"

"Is taking action against you the same as betraying the Holy Religion?"

"Hahahaha~!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed wildly, with ridicule of Tang Tianbao in his laughter.

"Son?!"

"This traitor is stubborn, why bother talking to him anymore?"

"I think we'd better take action, clear the door first and take back the holy sword."

"This beast has already sent out a transmission note. The monks from Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect may arrive at any time. The night is long and there are many dreams!"

Zishan temporarily stopped at Tang Tianbao's signal. When he heard the obviously mocking smile, his face suddenly changed and he said angrily.

She said this not out of emotion, but after rational consideration.

At this time, the team was dead, injured and betrayed, and its strength was unprecedentedly weak. If it ran into the monks of Tianyi Sect or Tianmo Sect at this time, there would be many changes.

In the eyes of Zishan, the most important thing is to regain the holy sword and clean up the door.

As for the reasons, they are only secondary. What should have happened has already happened. It is of little significance to pursue the reasons based on the current situation.

"Could it be that you are still worried about what happened back then?"

"In the original competition for the position of Holy Son, our assessment scores were equal. Elder Shi presided over and made the final judgment."

"Although I won in the end, I didn't cheat at all,"

After listening to Zhou Ziwen's words, Tang Tianbao's expression froze, his brows furrowed and he spoke frankly.

"Winning?!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen still sneered, but his smile was a little bitter.

It seemed that there was something hidden in it, but he didn't explain anything.

"It seems that you are very proud of your original "win"?"

"You think you've won, but you know nothing!"

"It's been less than a year since the elder died. Look at what the Holy Religion has become because of your torture."

"Making friends with monks from all walks of life and making friends with major families are all useless."

"This is Xisha!"

"The trick of just playing around with the situation won't work here!"

"Yes, I was the one who leaked the news. I informed both Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect."

Bitterness, jealousy, anger, cruelty

Zhou Ziwen's eyes flashed with many complex colors, and finally returned to his unsmiling look.

Without waiting for Tang Tianbao to answer, he continued:

"Yes, I did it on purpose."

"While seizing the Holy Sword, we must also get rid of you rotten old stubborns and bring the Holy Religion onto the right track."

"Prove to everyone that I am the right choice."

"Also, do you think Elder Shi doesn't know about my other identity?!"

"."

The attention of Tang Tianbao and the others was attracted by the information in his words as it related to the death of the only Golden Elixir elder.

"Blood epidemic smoke cloud"

Zhou Ziwen made a subtle move at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly made a spell. He pointed his sleeves towards the exit and used the spell he had prepared for a long time.

"Puff~"

A large ball of bloody mist spurted out from his sleeves and quickly spread towards the light red light curtain at the exit.

After several previous probing attacks, Zhou Ziwen was keenly aware of the weakness of the light red light curtain, so he specially prepared this highly corrosive spell.

Perhaps a long time ago, the light red light curtain did not have this weakness.

But after years of corrosion, this has become one of its weaknesses, and even the foundation-building realm can be shaken.

Because he had been prepared for a long time, Zhou Ziwen suddenly used this spell, which only took a little more than a moment.

When Tang Tianbao and the others reacted, it was too late to stop him, so they could only use the magic weapon to attack Zhou Ziwen.

Liu Yu, on the other hand, remained sober throughout and was not interested in the grievances within the Holy Fire Sect.

He just stood by Tang Tianbao without saying a word, waiting for the arrival of the monks from the two sects, and constraining each other with the Holy Fire Sect, both sides suffered losses.

When that time comes, go on a killing spree!

"Puff"

The bloody mist enveloped the light red light curtain, just like a piece of raw meat put into a frying pan, a violent reaction immediately occurred.

Wisps of green smoke rose up, and the spiritual power of the light red light curtain was consumed rapidly.

But perhaps there is something wrong with the spiritual power node, which prevents the spiritual power from being replenished immediately, and the light red light curtain blocking the entrance of the cave continues to become thinner.

"In a short period of time, I noticed the characteristics of the light curtain and guessed its weaknesses."

"What a keen insight."

"Strong and ruthless, keen insight, and careful enough."

"This person should not be underestimated."

Waving the Dark Moon Sword to attack normally, Liu Yu flashed this idea while looking at the thinning light red screen.

At the same level of strength, compared to the principled Tang Tianbao, the unscrupulous Zhou Ziwen is undoubtedly a much greater threat.

Coupled with this person's meticulous mind, it is more than twice as difficult to deal with as the former?

"Fortunately, I have been living in seclusion for the past year. I have only had more contact with Tang Tianbao and only met Zhou Ziwen a few times."

"Otherwise, the possibility of being seen through is not small."

"As expected of the evil cultivator with the highest reward in the foundation-building realm."

Liu Yu secretly thought.

Such a keen insight, which even he may not be able to achieve, made his attention to Zhou Ziwen rise sharply.

There was even a hint of regret. If he had killed this person by surprise, the effect might have been better.

Who knew it could actually hide so much strength?

However, in comparison, he, Liu, was more tolerant.

"Bang bang"

On the fragments of the floating island, the roar of magic weapons continued.

Since Tang Tianbao joined, Zhou Ziwen has been completely at a disadvantage, and the situation has immediately taken a turn for the worse.

Although his spiritual weapons were sharp and his spells were profound, Tang Tianbao was equally powerful and had the best spiritual weapons to protect him. The four of them were not just ordinary people.

Therefore, no matter how Zhou Ziwen casts various blood spells or spiritual weapon attacks, he cannot change the current situation and can only delay the situation a little.

However, although the situation was difficult, he still did not give up hope when he saw that there was only a thin layer left and the faint red light curtain was about to break.

The moment the abnormal movement occurred, Tang Tianbao controlled the khaki top-quality flying sword and shot it out with such force that it seemed as if it was going to kill Zhou Ziwen.

But perhaps it was the influence of the words he just said. When things came to an end, he secretly withdrew his three-point force by some strange combination of circumstances, which allowed the other party to persist.

Otherwise, facing a top foundation-builder and three late-stage foundation-builder monks who are not weak, it would be difficult to use his profound blood skills and sharp aura.

As for Liu Yu, her performance was too sparse and ordinary, and she was subconsciously ignored.

"Pfft~"

There was a strong sound of corrosion, and after a few breaths, the light red light curtain blocking the exit suddenly went out.

Liu Yu clearly saw that Zhou Ziwen's face was obviously happy, and then he touched his waist and took out five dark red beads the size of bullets.

After throwing it at the five people, he controlled the spiritual weapon to protect his body and retreated without even looking.

"Blood evil bead!"

"not good!"

Zishan recognized the origin of the dark red ball and quickly sent out a magical weapon to resist it, instead of pursuing it immediately.

The information about "Twisted Shadow" flashed in his mind, and Liu Yu instantly understood what the "Blood Evil Bead" was, and immediately held up the blue light curtain with both hands forward, and at the same time, he blasted backwards.

The Blood Evil Bead is similar to Tianleizi, and is a one-time method that can threaten or even seriously injure late-stage foundation-building monks.

But there is one more characteristic that can release a burst of "blood evil" in a very short period of time.

He avoided the first wave of blood evil beads, but if he had no means to protect himself from the subsequent blood evil, the monk would be affected by the blood evil and lose his life without realizing it.

The method of refining this bead is the unique secret skill of Twisted Shadow. No other monk has ever been seen holding this bead.

However, many monks speculated that refining this bead would require a lot of killing to collect the evil spirit, as well as a large amount of blood.

Based on various characteristics, this is likely to be an "evil weapon."

"Bang bang"

The black sword shadow detonated the blood evil bead, exploding about two feet away from the blue light curtain, and a power that ordinary foundation-building monks could not resist swept straight towards Liu Yu.

He chopped out several pieces in succession, consuming less than half of the power of the shock wave.

Liu Yu didn't want to reveal his identity now and judged that the danger was not great, so he tensed up and chose to resist.

"boom"

With a loud noise, the blue light curtain immediately shattered, and the aftermath continued to hit the Dark Moon Sword lying in front of him.

"Ding"

There was another loud noise, and Liu Yu used his strength to jump back, dispelling the power of the blood evil bead and at the same time avoiding the sweeping crimson evil aura.

By the time he neutralized the blow from the Blood Evil Orb, Zishan and the others had already chased him out.

At the critical moment, Tang Tianbao finally stood firm, resisted the attack of the Blood Evil Bead, and quickly rushed towards the exit one step ahead of several others.

At this time, Zhou Ziwen was already standing at the upper exit.

But for some reason, he suddenly pressed the Holy Fire Sword on his waist with one hand and did not choose to continue running away.

PS: I temporarily wrote an extra hundred words, so I’m a little late. Sorry fellow Taoists.
