Chapter 99 Hunter and Prey

At an altitude of several thousand feet, Li Yu's spirit boat was flying rapidly.

From time to time, one or two spirit boats would fly past his spirit boat, and then disappear into the clouds in front of him.

That is the spirit boat controlled by the elders of Zongmen Jianji. Kunlun and Tiandaozong offer a total of [-] Tongmai Pills as a reward. You can only get it by killing Zhou Tian. I don’t know how many people want it. If you go early, you can naturally seize the first place. machine.

Li Yu could only watch helplessly as others surpassed him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

It's not that his spirit boat is not good, but the limit speed of the spirit boat is related to the mana of the operator. Although the amount of Li Yu's mana is not much weaker than that of the foundation building period, the mana of the refining period is in the form of gas in the spirit veins. Existence, the mana of the foundation building period, after extreme compression, is already in a liquid state, more condensed than his mana, and also has a stronger explosion.

After he opened up the 72 acupuncture points of each spiritual vein, he could try to compress his mana and prepare for foundation establishment.

With Lingfang's speed, after half a day, they arrived at the smoky place in Nanzhao.

This is not the first time for Li Yu to come here, but the last time it was just to kill the disciples of the Five Poison Sect, he didn't go too deep. I saw a crack in the depths of a certain mountain range in the Miasma Land that stretched for several miles.

The dense smoky air gushed out from the gap and flowed towards the nearby mountains, and inside the gap was the Thousand Poison Cave, which was also the cause of Nanzhao's smoky land.

Nanzhao thousands of years ago was actually not like this.

At that time, there was still a country here, but one day, a certain wandering small world suddenly connected to the big world, which happened to be bordered by Nanzhao. The miasma and poisonous gas of the small world poured into the big world from the space interface, Ordinary people and low-level immortal cultivators in Zhao Kingdom died in a short period of time, while high-level immortal cultivators left here one after another, making this place a completely uninhabited land within a thousand years.

But today, the gap in the space of Thousand Poison Cave is very lively.

Spiritual boats and flying boats stopped outside the gap. From time to time, some people passed through the gap and entered the Thousand Poison Cave, while others were waiting outside. All of them exuded the atmosphere of the foundation-building period.

The smoggy land in Nanzhao does not belong to the righteous way, nor does it belong to the evil way. There are mixed fish and dragons. The elders of the great sect Tianjiao are naturally worried that they will come alone, and will send some elders who established the foundation to accompany them for protection.

And those who miss Zhou Tian's head are not only the righteous way, but also the devil way.

After all, Tiandaozong said that no matter who can kill Zhou Tian, ​​he can get fifty Tongmai Pills as a reward.

The Thousand Poison Cave is different from the general first-order secret realm. The connection with the big world stretches for several miles, and the space is extremely stable. Except for the foundation building period, which cannot be entered, as many disciples as the refining period can enter, all major sects have taken advantage of this Experience the meaning of disciples under the door.

Beyond the cracks, the strong men of the righteous and the devil formed two distinct factions, guarding against each other.

Li Yu received the Lingfang from a distance, flew all the way over, did not join the other disciples of Kunlun, and flew into the space gap alone.

Passing through the gap in the space, before seeing the situation in front of him clearly, a light flickered on Li Yu's protective fairy clothes, and a protective shield was automatically formed outside his body.

The traces of smoke in the space are in contact with the invisible shield, and Li Yu can clearly feel that the shield is gradually weakened by corrosion.

According to this speed, within an hour at most, the spiritual energy automatically stored in this second-grade fairy clothes will be used up.

If it is in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, it can also extend the use time by absorbing the spiritual energy in the surrounding space, but the spiritual energy here is very thin, and the fairy clothes cannot replenish the spiritual energy from the outside. After the spiritual energy is exhausted, it needs to use Li Yu's mana.

The poisonous miasma also blocked the line of sight. Within ten feet, Li Yu could vaguely see, but beyond ten feet, he could basically see nothing.

Li Yu's current location is in a dense jungle, surrounded by lush flowers and trees, and the colors are extremely bright, and they are highly poisonous at first glance.

Before Li Yu could take a step, a sound of breaking wind suddenly came from his ear.

call out!
From behind him, a gust of wind shot out at an extremely fast speed. Li Yu's true energy surged under his feet, and his body flexibly moved a few inches laterally, only to see a streak of black liquid land on the position where he was standing just now.

Nourishes...

When the liquid fell on the ground, it immediately burned a big hole in the ground, not only corroded some flowers and plants on the ground, but even melted the two stones in place, which shows how strong the poison is.

If that venom fell directly on the unprotected Qi refining stage cultivators, their physical bodies would be destroyed instantly.

Li Yu turned his head and saw two fist-sized red lights staring at him in the mist behind him.

He performed the Zhan Qi technique, and although the mist was still there, there was a long energy track in the mist. The opposite was obviously a monster python. Judging from the breath, there were mana fluctuations above the seventh level of Qi refining.

This kind of monster python, python skin and python blood are all materials for making talismans. If it was in other secret realms, it would have been beaten to death by disciples of various factions on the ninth floor of Qi Refining. Only in the dangerous Thousand Poison Cave, No one hunted them down.

Facing the monster python that was about to move, Li Yu just let out some breath of the [-]th level of Qi Refining, and the monster python in the mist trembled and ran away without a trace.

At the seventh level of Qi refining, it already has a certain amount of spiritual wisdom, knowing that the person in front of it is not something it can provoke.

Li Yu didn't do anything to this monster python, firstly, it was to save mana, and secondly, he didn't lack spirit coins, so after killing this monster python, he had to peel the skin to get blood, just to exchange for a little bit of spirit coins, and to pollute him storage ring, this is unacceptable to him.

After the monster python escaped, Li Yu had just taken a step forward when a giant tree beside him suddenly shook. After looking carefully, he realized that it was not a giant tree, but a giant piranha flower. The trunk of the tree is nothing more than its rhizome, and a huge and amazing flower at the top opens its bloody mouth and swallows Li Yu in an instant.

And on the ground at its root, a lot of bones have been piled up, and those are the prey it once swallowed.

After the flower closed, it shook a few times, then rose again, and continued to wait for the next prey.

But at the next moment, several sword lights suddenly appeared from the inside of the flower, and the huge flower was instantly torn apart. The piranha also shook and fell heavily on the ground.

Li Yu fell on the ground, fortunately he was protected by the fairy clothes. Although the piranha could not hurt him, if those disgusting venom got on him, he would definitely chop the stupid flower into a hundred pieces.

Putting away the sword, Li Yu continued to walk deep into the poisonous mist.

No wonder few people come to this Thousand Poison Cave. Compared with the Xuling Cave and the Qingyu Secret Realm, it can be said to be murderous every step of the way. If you are not careful on the ninth floor of Qi Refining, you will have to hate here. Li Yu is worried, the soul refining Could Zong's Zhou Tian be in the belly of some monster now, or had he been digested by some man-eating plant?

After Li Yu left, some small flowers poked their heads out from the ground, devoured the giant piranha that fell just now, and sneaked into the ground again...

At this time, fierce battles are taking place in various places in Qiandu Cave.

A few giant pythons several feet long wrapped their bodies around the tree, and spit poisonous mist frantically at the two people in the woods below. Although the fairy clothes on the two people could temporarily block the poisonous gas, but the The light, however, is constantly dimming, obviously it won't last long.

A man with a tall and straight figure frowned, and only heard a "clang", a flying sword behind him was unsheathed, and several sword shadows were separated. The next moment, the corpses of several monster pythons separated and fell powerlessly to the ground .

The flying sword returned to its sheath automatically, and the two disciples from Shushan dismissed the python corpse on the ground and continued to search deep into the mist.

Ten miles away, four Tiandaozong disciples with gossip imprints on their chests, the fairy clothes on their bodies shone with light, and the magical artifacts in their hands were also radiant. Even if they entered the man-eating flower forest by mistake, they didn't feel nervous at all. Just cut off dozens of piranhas.

"Where did that guy from the Soul Refining Sect hide?"

"Look slowly, the elders said, it's best not to let that monster fall into the hands of others."

"With his strength, he probably fell into the mouth of the poison here long ago. If he encounters these man-eating flowers, he can't even find the corpse..."

The four Tiandaozong disciples continued to search while communicating.

In another direction, three girls with exactly the same appearance, led by two older girls, were groping in the mist. One of the girls suddenly said, "Say, Senior Brother Li will come here?" ?”

Another girl said: "I haven't seen Senior Brother Li for a few days, and you want to see him again?"

The girl said: "I'm asking this on behalf of my sister. If I were my sister, I would have been brother Li's double cultivator. If she is like her, she is also reserved. I have missed all good things..."

……

Somewhere in the Thousand Poison Cave, Li Yu looked at the three corpses on the ground with a suspicious look on his face.

Judging from the clothes the three of them were wearing, these three should be disciples of the Five Poisons Sect of Demonic Dao. The time of death was about three days ago, and three days ago, the disciples of various sects had not rushed here, so these three people, It is very likely that Zhou Tian was chasing and killing the three disciples of the Five Poison Sect who entered here.

Li Yu used the qi-watching technique to see it. Although the three of them practiced a single spiritual meridian, they had opened up a lot of acupoints on the spiritual meridian, and they had already reached the eighth level of Qi refining. At the pinnacle, you can also fight, and you may not suffer a loss.

It stands to reason that such a combination of them should not cause any accidents in the Thousand Poison Cave.

The Five Poison Sect was good at using poison. From the beginning of their practice, they used all kinds of venom to quench their bodies. They themselves were poisonous. The miasma and poisonous gas here did not affect them that much, but even so, they still died here.

What's even more strange is that Li Yu didn't find any wounds on their bodies.

This shows that they did not die here as monsters, nor did they die from fighting with others. From the appearance of the three of them, it can be seen that they died peacefully.

Li Yu couldn't think of any other way to die peacefully than Soul Refining Sect.

After all, most of the immortal cultivators of the righteous and evil realms mainly deal with physical and magical damage. Once they die in a fight, it is difficult to leave the whole body behind.

Only the Soul Refining Sect found a new way to raise spirit ghosts and attack people's souls. People who died at the hands of the Soul Refining Sect seemed to have no external injuries, but in fact they had long since become soulless bodies.

But three days ago, Zhou Cai was just chased into the Thousand Poison Cave, unless there had been disciples of the Soul Refining Sect ambushing here, but as far as Li Yu knew, many disciples of the Soul Refining Sect couldn't resist fifty Tongmai Pills The temptation of Zhou Tian wants to win the head.

While Li Yu was wondering, the fog in front of him suddenly fluctuated.

Three figures walked out of the mist, and when they saw a figure in the mist ahead, they immediately dispersed and surrounded Li Yu from three directions.

However, when they saw the faces of the surrounding people clearly, their expressions changed suddenly, as if they saw something extremely terrifying.

"It's not Sunday!"

"It's him!"

……

The three people who appeared from the mist were no strangers to Li Yu. They were the three geniuses of the Soul Refining Sect that he had captured in the secret realm of Qingyu.

I don't know what agreement the Soul Refining Sect and Emei reached, but Li Yu saw them here again.

Xu Yi and the three of them also looked terrified at the moment. They thought it was Zhou Tian, ​​but they didn't expect it to be Li Yu.
Xu Yi trembled all over, and immediately said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Li Yu glanced at the three corpses of Five Poison Sect disciples on the ground, then at the three of them, and asked, "You killed these three?"

Xu Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, we came here to catch Zhou Tian, ​​and we didn't kill anyone..."

In fact, Li Yu was just asking casually. These three guys couldn't get two spirit ghosts together, and they couldn't occupy the bodies of three Five Poison Sect disciples at the same time. It was impossible for the three of them to die by their hands.

Li Yu asked again: "Zhou Tian is a member of our Soul Refining Sect, why are you arresting him?"

Xu Yi explained respectfully: "He violated the prohibition by massacring the city and gathering the Ten Thousand Soul Formation. He has already been expelled from the Soul Refining Sect. Several disciples of our sect were also killed by him. This time the three of us were ordered to clean up the sect... ..."

"Is there anyone else from the Soul Refining Sect besides you?"

"No……"

……

Apart from these three people, there is only one disciple of the Soul Refining Sect in the Thousand Poison Cave.

That is Zhou Tian himself.

These three disciples of the Five Poison Sect originally chased and killed Zhou Tian, ​​but they did not expect to be killed by the other party. From the postures of the three when they died, it is not difficult to see that their souls should have been captured in an instant. For this, at least three spirit ghosts at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining are needed.

From this point of view, everyone has seriously misjudged Zhou Tian's strength.

If they only regard Zhou Tian as an opponent at the fourth and fifth levels of Qi refining, then this time, many people may suffer.

After asking what he wanted to know, Li Yu didn't make things difficult for the three of the Soul Refining Sect, and waved them away.

Although these three people are demons, they don't have any evil spirits on them. Presumably they are the arrogances who lived in the ivory tower of the sect since they were young. After all, they are not easy to kill.

He had to find the Kunlun disciples as soon as possible, otherwise, they might have accidents.

After the three of Xu Yi left, they couldn't believe it.

"He really let us go?"

"I thought I was going to die!"

"My legs are still shaking now, and the spirit ghost is gone. If he wants to kill us, none of us can escape today..."

"There are not many righteous disciples who are so kind. If you meet someone from the Heavenly Dao Sect, you will be close to death today..."

"It would be great if he is really a disciple of my Soul Refining Sect. With such a fellow sect, how can we be so angry with those guys from Tiandao Sect!"

……

Of course Li Yu didn't know what the three devil disciples were thinking. At this moment, he continued to search in the Thousand Poison Cave. Just to the north of him, thirty miles away, two puppet sect disciples were being hunted down by their spirit corpses.

The puppet sect is famous for controlling corpses. Originally, the spirit corpses they sacrificed would never go out of control unless they were occupied by more powerful ghosts. This is a fatal flaw in the puppet sect's corpse control technique. Always being overwhelmed by the Soul Refining Sect.

This time, they were also attracted by the reward offered by Tiandaozong. Tiandaozong said beforehand that no matter it is a disciple of the righteous way or a disciple of the devil, as long as they can kill Zhou Tian, ​​they will be rewarded with fifty Tongmai pills. How can the disciples of the devil be able to bear it? This temptation.

Compared with the righteous disciples, they lack the cultivation resources. In the entire puppet sect, there are not many who can refine the Tongmai Pill, and all the refined medicines are supplied to the disciples and descendants of the elders. They can't be divided.

Not to mention them, even the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect are greedy for Zhou Tian's head.

According to the news they got, Zhou Tian was just a little monk at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but when they met him, they realized that Zhou Tian was not at the fourth level of Qi Refining, he was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Ghosts also have the ninth level of Qi refining, more than one, they invaded their bodies in an instant and took control...

In an instant, the hunter became the prey, and the dignified puppet sect disciple was chased and killed by his own spirit corpse instead.

The two of them were distracted, and from the fog behind them, two phantoms suddenly flew quickly and submerged into their bodies.

The two of them paused, and stood there in a daze, with painful expressions on their faces, but soon, their eyes lost focus, and the expressions on their faces became calm.

Soon, four phantoms emerged from their bodies, two of them looked exactly like the two puppet sect disciples, but their expressions were a little dull, obviously losing their sanity.

A young Taoist came out of the mist behind him, and several phantoms slowly flew over and sank into his body one after another.

He hooked the corner of his mouth in disdain, and said lightly: "If you want to kill me, it's up to you..."

After a while.

Li Yu stood in a certain forest, looking at the corpses of the two puppet sect disciples on the ground, lost in thought.

The two Puppet Sect disciples at the seventh level of Qi Refining died just like that. Their bodies were not injured and their expressions were peaceful. It looked like their souls had been separated from their bodies, exactly the same as those three disciples of the Five Poison Sect.

Their bodies were still warm, and the death time did not exceed an hour.

Obviously, they were also murdered by Zhou Tian.

Li Yu also saw two sets of footprints on the nearby ground.

These two lines of footprints are very deep, and most people would not leave such footprints. It is obviously left by the spirit corpse. Generally speaking, the body of the spirit corpse will go through many sacrifices, and it is much heavier than normal people.

The corpses of the puppet sect disciples are here, but their spirit corpses are gone. They should be controlled by Zhou Tian. Li Yu followed the footprints on the ground and continued to search forward.

At the same time, in another part of Thousand Poison Cave, a disciple of a small sect of Zhengdao watched helplessly as his two fellow sects were sucked dry by two spirit corpses, and the corpses fell powerlessly to the ground. I turned my gaze to him again...

Li Yu followed the traces on the ground all the way, and his face gradually became solemn.

Along the way, he found many corpses, some from the devil way and some from the righteous way. Among them, there were even two disciples who were at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining of the Beast Sect. At this moment, they also turned into two peaceful corpses.

This place has obviously become a hunting ground for that week.

Li Yu even wondered if this incident was just a play directed and acted by this person.

After all, Li Yu had a deep experience of his insidiousness and cunning.

And twice.

Perhaps, he purposely attracted people to come for this hunt.

In the fog ahead, there was a burst of mana fluctuations, and Li Yu hurried away without delay.

At this time, somewhere in Qiandu Cave, a young Taoist controlled several spirit corpses and countless spirit ghosts, attacked a protective formation, and praised: "As expected of the Emei Sect, the fairy clothes can still form formations, but I think How long can you hold on..."

Not far ahead, the three sisters of the Zhao family and two other Emei female cultivators stood in five different directions. The protective fairy clothes on their bodies were shining with light and connected to each other, forming a protective shield that temporarily resisted the attack. Stop these evil things from entering the palace.

But maintaining this formation consumes a lot of mana. The spiritual energy stored in the fairy clothes has long been used up, and their mana is also consumed. Even if the recovery pill recovers, the attacks of those spirit corpses and spirit ghosts But it became more and more violent, and the formation soon couldn't support it.

This time they came here just for practice, but they never expected that this demon disciple could control so many spirit corpses and spirit ghosts.

Even in the foundation building stage, he couldn't resist this level of attack, let alone the first-order secret realm that he couldn't enter in the foundation building stage. This person was basically invincible among the disciples in the Qi refining stage.

The formation composed of fairy clothes is already crumbling, and the women in the formation have already shown signs of despair.

However, at this moment, a bright sword light suddenly descended from the sky.

The sword qi criss-crossed, and several spirit corpses were chopped off in an instant. Several weak spirit ghosts, under this sword, immediately lost their souls. Cohesion, dodged this shocking sword.

Inside the formation, the three girls turned their heads and saw the figure descending from the sky, their hearts were immediately filled with a sense of security, and they said in surprise, "Senior Brother Li!"

Li Yuluo stood in front of the formation, looking at a figure not far ahead.

It was a young Taoist, about 20 years old, ordinary-looking, not ugly, but not ugly, exactly the same as the Zongmen arrest warrant.

It was Zhou Tian, ​​a disciple of the Soul Refining Sect.

It was also a year ago that they plotted against them behind the scenes, causing Zhou Zixuan to be injured, and Chen Ming to be the culprit twice.
