Seeking Immortality

Seeing the sudden change in the situation on the field, not only were Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang shocked, but they wanted to rescue but it was too late. After all, speed was not their strong point, so they could only worry in their hearts.

Even the Jiuhua elders and high-level demons who were watching the battle in the sky all changed their faces at this time, but they were happy and worried.

But unlike everyone else, when almost everyone was paying attention to the fight in front of Jiuhua Palace, Zhang Hualing was watching Zhang Xusheng's expression. He still felt that the bet proposed by Zhang Xusheng was very strange, and it was not just because he wanted to gain the upper hand in the subsequent fight.

After observation, Zhang Hualing was surprised to find that Zhang Xusheng was not happy about the change in the situation on the field. On the contrary, his expression was the most indifferent among the people on the field. Although he seemed to be watching this competition with concentration, his eyes were erratic. It seemed that he didn't care about the outcome of this fight at all, but was just thinking about other things in his heart.

Suddenly, Zhang Xusheng seemed to have sensed something, turned around and smiled at Zhang Hualing who was looking at him, then turned his head to continue watching the competition. However, compared with the time when Li Xuhan and the deaf, dumb and blind Zun appeared one after another, he seemed to be more confident at this time, and vaguely gave people a feeling that he was in control of the overall situation.

This feeling made the inexplicable shadow in Zhang Hualing's heart even heavier.

Let's talk about the scene of the competition in front of Hualing Hall. After discovering that Xu Qingfan's defense had a flaw, No. 4 almost instinctively exerted his speed to the extreme and rushed towards Xu Qingfan. At the same time, the five nails of his right hand also stretched out suddenly, like five sharp swords, stabbing at Xu Qingfan's chest fiercely.

In the moment of jumping and rushing. No. 4 suddenly had a slight feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He always felt that the flaws revealed by Xu Qingfan this time were too obvious, and it seemed too easy for him to succeed this time. This was inconsistent with Xu Qingfan's shrewdness and decisiveness in the fierce battle between him and Xu Qingfan and others. Could it be that Xu Qingfan was luring the snake out of its hole?

But No. 4 thought about it and felt that he was thinking too much. According to his speculation, Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy was definitely exhausted now. No matter how useless Nangong Qingshan was, Xu Qingfan could not easily deal with him. And even if it was to lure him into the trap, Xu Qingfan didn't need to show the broken defense on his chest. Even if he succeeded, Xu Qingfan might have paid the price with his life, which was not worth the loss. And No. 4 was confident in his speed. If he found something wrong, he could guarantee that he could retreat unscathed.

And the next change of Xu Qingfan also proved No. 4's conjecture. When No. 4 rushed towards him, the green dragon surrounding Xu Qingfan suddenly disappeared. It was obvious that Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy was insufficient and he was no longer able to transport spiritual energy into the "Green Spirit Arm Guard" to maintain the form of the long dragon guarding.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's change, No. 4 was certain in his heart, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards Xu Qingfan with increased speed. In a flash, he had already arrived in front of Xu Qingfan.

Although there were many things described in the middle, it only took a breath.

Almost as soon as Xu Qingfan's defense around him was broken, No. 4 appeared beside him at the same time, and at the same time, Xu Qingfan's defense around him disappeared, and the five sharp swords transformed by the nails on No. 4's right hand stabbed fiercely at Xu Qingfan's left chest heart.

But facing such a dangerous situation. Xu Qingfan did not sit still and wait for death. At the same time as he saw No. 4 attacking, Xu Qingfan used his uninjured left leg to kick the ground fiercely, and his body quickly retreated, and he retreated three feet before No. 4 attacked.

It's just that No. 4's speed is so fast that the three-foot distance is reached in an instant, which only delayed him by one thousandth of a breath.

But this little time. Is enough to do a lot of things.

Seeing his nails piercing Xu Qingfan's clothes, the bloodthirstiness in No. 4's eyes became stronger, and he could already imagine himself cutting open Xu Qingfan's chest. Pulling out Xu Qingfan's heart, and the hot blood running through his fingers. Just like the countless people he had killed before.

Although No. 4 had experienced this situation countless times, whenever he thought of it, his heart was still throbbing inexplicably.

But at the moment when the imagination became reality, No. 4 was suddenly stunned.

"Ding

A crisp sound of metal clashing sounded, and to No. 4, this small sound was no less than a thunderclap.

Through Xu Qingfan's slit clothes, No. 4 could vaguely see that a "iron cattail leaf" had appeared inside Xu Qingfan's clothes at some point, and it actually blocked No. 4's fatal blow at the most critical moment.

"Iron cattail leaf" is one of the exotic flowers and plants that Xu Qingfan often uses. It is characterized by being extremely hard and can resist being cut by swords and spears, and it consumes very little spiritual energy and can be used very quickly. However, compared to the battles between immortals, the weak defensive power of "iron cattail leaf" is not of much use, and Xu Qingfan always When using "Iron Cattail Leaf" for defense, hundreds or even thousands of faces are often created at the same time, winning by quantity. However, a single face is not very useful in the battle of immortal cultivation.

But this time the situation is different. Number 4 is good at spitting poisonous sand and controlling wind and sand. Although he is used to and likes to fight by speed, close combat is not his forte. Otherwise, he would not have been at a loss in the face of Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang's successive low-level defenses.

It is precisely because of this that this mere "Iron Cattail Leaf", combined with Xu Qingfan's "Turtle Elephant Leopard" that he has practiced to perfection, actually blocked Number 4's killer.

It turned out that although Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy was seriously depleted after the continuous battles, it was far from the point where he could not even support the operation of the "Qingling Arm Guard". The flaw he revealed just now was indeed to lure No. 4 to attack.

After noticing that No. 4 was attacking, Xu Qingfan did not hesitate and completely removed the defense of the Qingling Arm Guard, and quickly retreated to delay time as much as possible. He concentrated on performing the "Withering and Flourishing Art" to transform the "Iron Cattail Leaf" to block his chest.

Finally, at the moment when No. 4 killed him, the "Iron Cattail Leaf" finally appeared, although only one piece was formed due to time constraints. But it also achieved a miraculous achievement.

Although this strategy is simple to say, it is also extremely dangerous during the execution. Because in order to ensure that No. 4 would attack, Xu Qingfan deliberately exposed a flaw at the center of his body. As long as Xu Qingfan's speed was a little slower, he would only die.

Moreover, after carefully observing the attack methods and patterns of No. 4 during this period, Xu Qingfan found that when No. 4 attacked him and others, most of the attack positions were concentrated on the chest. It was obvious that No. 4 had an inexplicable obsession with piercing this position, so Xu Qingfan only transformed his chest into "Iron Cattail Leaf" as a protection. Other positions were completely unprotected. If No. 4 turned his attack target to Xu Qingfan's head and neck when he was in the mood to kill, Xu Qingfan would have been dead by now.

In short, although this plan has been successful for the most part, Xu Qingfan still couldn't help sweating when he recalled the various dangers. But I don't know if he would do it again if he was asked to choose again.

Speaking of No. 4, the moment he felt that his attack was blocked, he was horrified and wanted to retreat completely, but he had no choice but to retreat when his nails intersected with the "Iron Cattail Leaf". The rebound force caused his body to pause slightly, delaying it for a short moment.

Xu Qingfan took advantage of this moment, endured the pain in his chest, and used his hands to grab No. 4's right arm. At the same time, he used the family martial arts "Turtle, Elephant and Leopard". An extremely powerful force appeared in his hands. Even if No. 4 merged with Xuansha, one of the four strange snakes, he couldn't get away for a while.

Faced with this sudden change of situation, everyone watching couldn't help but be shocked.

"Junior Brother Jin, Senior Brother Lu, what are you still standing there for?" At this moment, Xu Qingfan shouted loudly. He reminded Jin and Lu who were standing there in a daze.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's shouting. Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang suddenly woke up, but they didn't dare to pause for a moment. They immediately showed their magical powers and helped Xu Qingfan win the battle in their own way.

Jin Qinghan snorted coldly, and with his ten fingers pinched, a golden sword with golden light suddenly appeared in front of him, and then stabbed towards No. 4's chest without stopping. Obviously, Jin Qinghan was very upset because of No. 4's fierce attack on his chest.

Lu Qingshang's face was solemn, and he waved his hands quickly. Dozens of spells suddenly appeared, forming a colorful barrier to block the other two snakemen and everyone. Obviously, he was afraid that the two snakemen would rescue his companions at this time. When No. 4 felt Jin Qinghan's golden sword attacking him, he was very anxious and wanted to dodge, but he found that Xu Qingfan's grip was very strong, and he couldn't get away in a hurry. Seeing that the golden sword was about to pierce him, he could even clearly feel the dull pain in his back under the golden sword. Number 4 was quick-witted. He turned his head and spit out a black poisonous sand from his mouth, shooting towards Xu Qingfan's face quickly and rapidly. At the same time, a wind wall formed by wind and sand suddenly appeared and blocked the golden sword.

Seeing the poisonous sand that Number 4 was spewing at him, Xu Qingfan's mind flashed through all the introductions about the black sand snake's poisonous sand. Knowing how powerful it was, he hurriedly dodged to the other side.

However, the distance between the two was very close at this time, and Number 4's spitting of poisonous sand came too suddenly. Xu Qingfan's speed was greatly reduced because of his right leg injury. Although he dodged most of the poisonous sand in a hurry, a few grains still shot into his face.

However, Number 4 did not care whether his poisonous sand was successful, but took advantage of the moment when Xu Qingfan dodged, broke free from Xu Qingfan's grasp, and quickly dodged to the side after being free. Obviously, he was concerned about Jin Qinghan's golden sword.

But No. 4 still underestimated Jin Qinghan in the end.

As the second best player of the younger generation of Jiuhua Mountain, how could Jin Qinghan's strength be as simple as he imagined?

The golden sword that Jin Qinghan shot at him just now, although seemingly ordinary, was Jin Qinghan's hatred, and contained extremely powerful and dense golden spiritual energy. The wind and sand barrier that No. 4 hastily cast had no effect on the sharpness of the golden sword. No. 4 had just broken free from Xu Qingfan's control when the golden sword had already shot into his chest. Although he wanted to dodge, he found that it was too late.

Finally, the golden sword quickly passed through No. 4's chest, and a stream of green blood splashed into the sky, and then dripped onto the ground, as if a green rain suddenly fell on the land of Jiuhua.

As his own blood dripped, No. 4 did not scream or resist, but just fell to the ground softly, as if all the vitality in his body was drained away by the sword.

I just wonder, at the moment when his chest was pierced by the golden sword, did he think of those people whose chests he had pierced before?

Seeing the look of No. 4, knowing that the battle was temporarily over, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang both breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of whether No. 4's death was due to his underestimation of the enemy or their luck, or whether there were two snakemen whose strength was unknown and who were ignoring them, in short, they had won the fight.

But the difference was that Xu Qingfan's mood gradually became colder at this time, because he found that the wounds that had just been scratched by the poisonous sand began to feel numb, and this numb feeling had begun to spread rapidly throughout the body.

"The threat of the black sand, in the poisonous sand. The whole body is paralyzed, the face is black, there is no medicine and no cure, and those with low cultivation will flee far away and cannot be defeated." - "Shanhai Yitan - Strange Beasts"

Although Xu Qingfan's injured part was small at this time, he was injured by the black sand poisonous sand, and on his face. Once the paralysis spread to the brain, Xu Qingfan would be declared hopeless. Even if he could be saved, he would become an idiot with a head injury.
