Chapter 138 Pretending to be a Resident of the Immortal Residence
Chapter 138 Pretending to be a Resident of the Immortal Residence
Due to Song Honglian's misjudgment, he was unable to block the "flying needles" shot by Xia Zhongnan in a short period of time.
However, Song Honglian was not too nervous about this. How powerful could a flying needle shot by a Spiritualization Stage cultivator be? Even a flying needle held in the hands of a Spiritualization Stage cultivator might not be able to penetrate the defensive shield of a Void Return Stage cultivator, not to mention that this was just a flying needle flying from a distance?
Of course, he did not take it lightly. He immediately gathered a shield of vitality in front of his chest to resist the spear. He sneered, thinking that a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage who had lost his weapon would not be able to resist his stroke.
However, the development of the situation was beyond his expectations. When the spear collided with the Yuan Qi shield, it shattered easily like tearing a rag, and it didn't even hinder the spear in the slightest. Instead, the spear accelerated and pierced straight into his chest with even more powerful power.
At that moment, Song Honglian was terrified and cried out in his heart: "My life is over!"
Then, with a "puff" sound, the spear pierced straight into his chest, the powerful energy crushed his internal organs and penetrated his sea of consciousness along his spine. The power did not decrease, and the spear pierced through his back again.
Song Honglian looked at Xia Zhongnan and opened his mouth to speak: "You...you..."
In the end, he was unable to utter a complete sentence, and his body fell downwards with the spear.
Xia Zhongnan continued to dive at high speed, rushed to the falling body of Song Honglian, grabbed the spear and pulled it out, then stepped on the body with one foot, used the force to fly into the air again, and leisurely returned to the back of Qiongqi.
At the same time, there was a loud "boom" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and Song Honglian's remains finally fell heavily to the ground, shaking all directions.
At this moment, there were sounds of gasps everywhere, and many cultivators were shocked and horrified by the scene, and all of them turned pale.
A true Void-Returning Realm cultivator was unable to resist a flying needle attack from someone else and died. This was enough to make people dumbfounded. Moreover, the opponent of this Void-Returning Realm cultivator was actually a strong man in the Spiritualization Realm, which made these knowledgeable cultivators feel puzzled!
Lang Zhengfeng was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. He regretted in his heart why he didn't follow Xia Zhongnan into this fairy palace.
He had fought with Song Honglian many times, and although he was always able to gain the upper hand, how could he have the ability to take Song Honglian's life in an instant?
At this moment, Xia Zhongnan had returned to mid-air, standing on the back of the ferocious beast Qiongqi with a flying needle in one hand, overlooking all living beings. He was as imposing as a rainbow, but in his heart he was quickly calculating what to do next.
There were actually many reasons behind the fatal blow that killed Song Honglian just now. It would be extremely difficult to repeat it again.
First of all, Song Honglian did not pay due attention to Xia Zhongnan, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, thus creating a good opportunity for Xia Zhongnan.
Furthermore, Xia Zhongnan's spiritual power at this moment is no less than that of a cultivator in the Returning Void Realm, so he can control the flying needles with his spiritual power, and its power is almost the same as holding the needles with both hands. He has already relied on the power of his spiritual power to bless the flying needles, in order to gain the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with Song Honglian and intimidate many cultivators in the Returning Void Realm in one fell swoop.
When the two were about to collide, Xia Zhongnan realized Song Honglian's contempt for him. In that instant, he seized a fleeting flaw and decisively used his spiritual sense to drive the flying needle to deliver a fatal blow to Song Honglian.
This is the unique flying needle technique practiced by Xia Zhongnan. It is not restricted to fixed moves, but responds flexibly according to changing situations.
The speed of the flying needles was far beyond Xia Zhongnan's manual throwing, and their power was comparable to his secret skill "Unparalleled Courage" when he used all his strength, and even surpassed it. In this way, he killed a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm in one fell swoop.
Such a brilliant record is almost impossible to reproduce, but it truly shocked all the cultivators present.
The crowd was unable to see the mystery. All they saw was Xia Zhongnan defeating Song Honglian with a flying needle in a head-on battle.
Xia Zhongnan looked down at the group of cultivators with the momentum of killing Song Honglian, and shouted sternly: "This is the forbidden land of the Immortal Mansion. You are making noise here and disturbing the master of the Immortal Mansion who is practicing in seclusion. None of you will survive!"
After a brief thought, Xia Zhongnan decided to pretend to be someone from the Immortal Palace to confuse people.
His words caused doubts in the hearts of many cultivators, and they began to speculate about Xia Zhongnan's true identity.
After all, the way he appeared was too shocking. He came with a group of rare exotic beasts in the world of cultivation, and killed the cultivators in the Return to Void Realm with the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even if Xia Zhongnan claimed that he had nothing to do with the Immortal Palace, I am afraid that no other cultivators would believe it.
I'm afraid that only in that mysterious immortal palace can such a stunning genius be born...
In Xia Zhongnan's sea of consciousness, thoughts were swirling like a storm. With their current cultivation, even if they were good at scheming, it would be extremely difficult for them to obtain a major opportunity surrounded by so many powerful masters of the Transformation Realm. After all, false words could not withstand the real conflict of interests. Once the core was touched, those masters of the Transformation Realm would join forces and they would be doomed.
In a flash, Xia Zhongnan decided to narrow his goal and focus only on rescuing Lang Zhengfeng. In this way, the difficulty of the mission will be greatly reduced. You know, few people in the cultivation world will hold a grudge against Lang Zhengfeng, and those who are not relatives or friends will never easily intervene.
The target was set, Xia Zhongnan locked his eyes on the direction where Lang Zhengfeng was, and said in a deep voice: "Lang Zhengfeng, can you come over and talk? I have something to ask you!"
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that they were trying to take Lang Zhengfeng away from this dangerous place. As long as Lang Zhengfeng escaped safely and left with the help of these monsters, which were no slower than the speed of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, they would have successfully achieved their goal. Even if other cultivators were to chase them, they could deal with them calmly with the help of the Ten Directions Blood Evil Array that had been set up long ago.
Lang Zhengfeng naturally understood Xia Zhongnan's intention and quickly responded, "Senior, please wait a moment. I will be there soon."
At the same time, while he was on guard against the four Jinhua realm cultivators surrounding him, he was preparing to fly into the air and head straight to Xia Zhongnan.
The four Spiritualization Realm cultivators became extremely anxious upon seeing this, and shouted in unison: “Wait a minute!”
However, they did not dare to act rashly. Three of them kept a close eye on Lang Zhengfeng to prevent him from escaping. Another turned to Xia Zhongnan and saluted, saying, "Senior, we have a deep hatred for this person. I hope you will understand that we should not let him escape. If you need anything, please ask me from a distance."
Even though they also followed Lang Zhengfeng's example and called Xia Zhongnan "senior", they were still unwilling to relax their siege on Lang Zhengfeng.
Xia Zhongnan's face showed a dignified expression. In his mind, an image of a towering Kunlun Immortal Vein appeared in an instant. Its aura was like a towering peak. He pointed at the remains of Song Honglian not far away and shouted, "Who are you to dare to negotiate with me? Do you also want to experience my methods like this remnant soul?"
After hearing Xia Zhongnan's words, the four governors of the Bai State were all terrified, as if they were intimidated by his pressure.
Song Honglian's body was so close that the four of them could not help but look sideways. Their cultivation was almost the same as Song Honglian's. Since even Song Honglian could not withstand the attack of this "senior", they were afraid that they would not be able to escape the bad luck either.
There are many people in the world who know how to weigh the pros and cons and can bend and stretch. The four governors are no exception. How can they easily take risks? Therefore, facing the current situation, they did not choose to confront it head-on.
At this moment, Lang Zhengfeng saw the reactions of the four governors and knew that Xia Zhongnan's warning had already had a deterrent effect. However, he still did not dare to approach Xia Zhongnan rashly, but moved cautiously, trying to escape from the encirclement of the four people first and find a safe place before making plans.
Under the watchful eyes of many monks, Lang Zhengfeng was alert to his surroundings while carefully taking the first step, the second step, the third step... The air around him seemed to freeze, and only the sound of Lang Zhengfeng's heartbeat could be heard, and cold sweat ran down his back.
He only needed to take two more steps to escape the blockade of the four monks. At this moment, a clear female voice came from a jade building in the distance: "Linghu Chong, you clearly came here from the secular world with me. How can you call yourself the 'Envoy of the Immortal Palace' without authorization? Don't be fooled by his disguise!"
The four governors of the Bai State had been hesitant before. If this continued, Lang Zhengfeng would most likely escape their encirclement successfully.
However, the woman's words were like thunder, causing them to act almost simultaneously and once again trapped Lang Zhengfeng in the center.
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw three cultivators who were practicing in the Return to Void Realm, and a stunningly beautiful woman with the level of Transformation of the Spirit. Obviously, the person who spoke was undoubtedly that woman.
Seeing that his efforts were about to fail and he was dragged back into the predicament, Lang Zhengfeng was extremely angry and his eyes turned to the woman who spoke. Although he had never recognized this woman, he recognized that among the three Returning to Void Realm cultivators, two were from Piaomiao Immortal Palace and the other was a member of Tianfeng Sect.
In the outside world, Feng Yunxian and the Yan Zhongxing seemed to be planning to unite against the five great kings, so the Void-Returning Realm cultivators among their respective disciples also secretly formed an alliance in this immortal mansion. As for the fierce battle between the Transformation of Spirit and Transformation of Qi cultivators under the two major sects, these Void-Returning Realm cultivators were either aware of it or not, but this did not prevent them from temporarily joining forces under the current situation.
As soon as Yan Xiaoying spoke, Xia Zhongnan immediately recognized that it was Yan Xiaoying from Piaomiao Palace. His plan was about to be successfully implemented, but it was exposed by Yan Xiaoying, and he suddenly felt angry.
Earlier, when he was looking down at the many cultivators from a high place, he had already seen Yan Xiaoying. He knew very well that Yan Xiaoying had no good intentions behind her invitation to him to join her in the Immortal Palace, but he still planned to find a suitable opportunity to talk to her in detail after rescuing Lang Zhengfeng.
This immortal palace is like a bomb that may explode at any time. If one cannot escape before the Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation actually breaks out, then all the living beings remaining in the immortal palace will be doomed to die.
He didn't want to see Yan Xiaoying die here, so he wanted to persuade her to escape from the fairy palace with him at the critical moment.
However, Xia Zhongnan never expected that Yan Xiaoying would choose to destroy his plan at this critical moment. He really wanted to question her. The two sides had cooperated well before, so why did she jump out to make trouble now?
At this time, Xia Zhongnan still stared at Yan Xiaoying with a frosty face, while Xu Qian beside him could no longer care about so much and shouted angrily: "Yan Xiaoying, what do you want to do? I warned him not to pay attention to you, a bad woman, but he didn't listen. Now you understand how bad you are!"
Although Xu Qian often quarreled with Lang Zhengfeng, she actually admired him. Seeing that he was surrounded by five Void-Returning Realm monks and his life was at stake, she did not have time to discuss it with Xia Zhongnan, and immediately shouted loudly, buying Lang Zhengfeng a chance to catch his breath.
Although Xu Qian seems careless and unreliable, it would be a big mistake to think she is stupid...
Yan Xiaoying was not willing to be outdone, and shouted again: "The man named Linghu Chong is the one who entered the Immortal Palace with me. In the past, he did not have such power in the palace. He was able to kill a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm in an instant. He must have obtained a great opportunity in the Immortal Palace. You all should hurry up and seize his opportunity for yourselves!"
As soon as these words came out, it could be said that the woman was ruthless and wanted to push Xia Zhongnan into the endless abyss. The eyes of many cultivators looking at Xia Zhongnan changed instantly, and many of them flashed with greed, eager to try. If Xia Zhongnan had not previously wiped out the cultivator of Huanxu with one sword, and his might was still there, I am afraid that many people would have rushed directly towards Xia Zhongnan at this moment.
Seeing that all the monks around were incited and pointed their spearheads at Xia Zhongnan, Yan Xiaoying's mouth drew a sly smile. As the first person to step into the Immortal Mansion and was directly teleported to the Immortal Lord Palace area, she did gain something. However, as the Huanxu monks came one after another, she could only give up the opportunity to continue to explore treasures and hide in order to survive. It was not until she met two Huanxu monks in the sect that she dared to reappear. However, this place was already the territory of many Huanxu monks, so how could she still be qualified to compete for high-quality resources? She was lucky to get some residual treasures that the Huanxu monks disdained.
When Xia Zhongnan arrived with a team of strange beasts, Yan Xiaoying was shocked, especially when Xia Zhongnan killed the Huanxu monk with a single sword, which made her feel aggrieved: Xia Zhongnan had clearly followed her into the Immortal Palace, so why did she gain so little while Xia Zhongnan could live a free and easy life?
Driven by jealousy, she spoke out to instigate Lang Zhengfeng just as he was about to escape. Xia Zhongnan's face was solemn. It was his first time facing such a scene with enemies everywhere. He could have let Qiongqi carry him away from the scene, believing that the strange beasts and he could safely escape into the mist of the Ten Directions Blood Evil Array, and use the mist to eliminate the enemies who dared to enter.
However, if he escapes, Lang Zhengfeng will not be able to escape capture. Lang Zhengfeng has a close relationship with him, so the forces besieging Lang Zhengfeng must be far more than the four governors of the Bai State. Whether they want to capture him alive or kill him to vent their anger, Lang Zhengfeng's fate will be extremely tragic.
Lang Zhengfeng, who was below, looked at Xia Zhongnan with a look of death. After hearing Yan Xiaoying's words inciting the monks to deal with Xia Zhongnan, he had already foreseen his own tragic end.
