Chapter 441

Under a high snowy mountain peak.

A figure burrowed out from the cave at the bottom of the mountain.

After coming out, he, who was about to flee, suddenly stopped in the air, his expression changing continuously.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "With Luo Chen's vengeful nature, it is impossible for him to let go of his hatred for me. If I leave now, I fear that with his escape speed, he will catch up to me in the open area before long."

"Forget it!"

"Since this battle has begun, it must have a beginning and an end!"

Taking a deep breath, Helian Yun took out several items from his storage bag one after another.

"Of the seven backhands I set up in the tunnel, none were triggered, and only three were triggered; those Foundation Establishment means, I fear, will have no effect on him."

"In this case, I can only rely on these things."

An elixir!

A talisman!

A brick-shaped magic treasure!

Helian Yun immediately swallowed the elixir.

As the medicinal power in his body was refined, rolling heat waves surged continuously from his Qi sea, and his realm, which had already reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, fluctuated endlessly under this impact.

His momentum also began to change continuously, directly surpassing that of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, surging by a small half out of thin air.

Although it was still far from the Jin Dan stage, it was not much different from the rumored False Dan cultivators.

More medicinal power was still vibrating, but Helian Yun could no longer refine it.

A wisp of regret flashed across his face.

After taking this elixir, he feared he would be unable to attempt to break through his realm within ten years, and the date of Jin Dan would have to be postponed.

But in this time of crisis, he could no longer care about other things.

Spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, Helian Yun poured that rolling spiritual power into the gold brick, and then supported it with both hands.

The gold brick magic treasure flew into the clouds of the snowy mountain.

Then, he kept pinching formulas, and the talisman in his hand was in a semi-triggered state.

Not only that, but three Soul-Piercing Nails were buried deep in the snow.

A ripple of light flashed on his body, and layers of wave sounds leaped into his ears.

"Sacrifice oneself as bait, lure the enemy to the front."

"With three major killing moves in succession, even if a Jin Dan cultivator comes here, I can make him suffer!"

When Helian Yun had prepared everything, he didn't even have time to calm his agitated mood.

A cracking sound flew out from the bottom of the snowy mountain.

Helian Yun's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily.

"Little brat Luo Chen, do you dare to kill me!"

Accompanied by this sharp shout, the flying sword in his hand flew out suddenly.

At the foot of the mountain.

Luo Chen looked at Helian Yun, who was ready for a desperate fight, with a look of surprise on his face.

He thought he would have to chase for a while after coming out.

He didn't expect the other party not only not to flee but to be waiting for him.

"Fine, since you seek death, I will fulfill your wish!"

Luo Chen gave a light shout, and with a flick of his large sleeves, as the strong wind drummed, the piercing flying sword was deflected by a few inches.

This flying sword magic treasure was clearly not refined with much care.

Otherwise, its power would not be so unbearable.

Afterward, he leaped and flew toward Helian Yun.

The Profound Fire Sword in his hand swung continuously during this process, and fire meteors flew out one after another.

However, every fire meteor would disappear strangely before Helian Yun, as if swallowed by something.

Luo Chen condensed spiritual power in his eyes and finally saw what the flickering water light was.

A scroll unfolded out of thin air, covering Helian Yun's figure.

A water-type defensive magic treasure!

"Sure enough, Nangong Jin's Ze Guo Gui Tu is on you!"

Helian Yun sneered, "So what if it is? Treasures should belong to those with fortune; he, a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing such a supreme treasure, deserved this end."

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He knew Nangong Jin had died on the Leishan battlefield and just thought he was unlucky.

Now it seemed that this old scoundrel had a hand in it.

"Why, do you want to avenge your fellow villager too?" Helian Yun looked at Luo Chen with mockery.

"Fortune and misfortune have no gate; people call them upon themselves. Although he and I were old acquaintances, we didn't have much of a relationship. However..."

Luo Chen shook his head and spat out: "The retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow. This treasure was originally my friend's family treasure; today you have no fortune, so you should return this thing to me!"

As he spoke, he raised the tip of his sword, and there was a faint fluctuation of surging spiritual energy.

Seeing this scene, Helian Yun's expression changed instantly.

Blazing Sun Technique!

He had heard of Luo Chen's fighting methods; the other party could already unleash high-power spells without pinching spiritual formulas in the traditional complex way.

And the other party's most proud fire method was famous throughout the Yuding region.

Without the slightest hesitation, he rode his sword and turned to flee.

Watching his back as he fled, Luo Chen was stunned; wasn't he in a posture of a life-and-death struggle?

The wings behind Luo Chen trembled, and he chased at high speed.

The distance between the two soon closed.

"Old man, I was almost deceived by you."

Luo Chen swung the Profound Fire Sword, and the accumulated Blazing Sun Technique was released instantly.

The dazzling golden light exploded immediately.

Helian Yun, who was only concerned with fleeing, faced this move and stretched the Ze Guo Gui Tu to the extreme regardless.

A scroll unfolded, with rolling waves inside, as if it were a vast ocean itself.

The power of the Blazing Sun explosion was completely absorbed by it.

Luo Chen had expected this result.

Water naturally overcomes fire, not to mention that the other party had used some means to increase his strength significantly.

Thinking of killing him with a hastily condensed Blazing Sun Technique was wishful thinking.

However, as long as he could intercept the other party, then the follow-up...

"Wrong!"

Luo Chen looked up abruptly.

That dazzling golden light was not the Blazing Sun Technique!

A huge gold brick, like a meteor, smashed down with a rumble.

"I was wondering where you got your confidence?"

"So, it was like this!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly, his left hand pinching a spiritual formula, and vast spiritual power surged continuously from his wide meridians.

When he raised his left hand.

A cerulean glaze immediately spanned the sky, like a light screen.

Glazed Sky Screen—a Tier 2 top-grade water-type defensive spell.

At Small Success, it protects the whole body, and its power is not weaker than a high-grade defensive magic tool.

After mastering it, it can be retracted and released at will, and its defensive effect is not weaker than a top-grade defensive magic tool.

If it reaches Great Success, once unfolded, it can protect a piece of the sky, and its power is not less than a mountain-protecting formation!

Its power at this time was already comparable to an ordinary defensive magic treasure.

Especially after Luo Chen cultivated it to the Great Perfection state, it had reached the extreme of this technique.

Not only was it sent and received at will, almost instant, but its defensive effect was also extremely outstanding!

Back on the Leishan battlefield, he had relied on this technique to block a blow from Di Wanyun once.

You must know, the other party was a Jin Dan stage existence!

It was also by relying on this technique that Luo Chen could walk out of the underground cave just now with only the cost of his Qi armor shattering during the magic treasure self-detonation.

It can be said that by relying on this technique and his tough physique, Luo Chen's demand for defensive magic treasures had been reduced to the minimum.

Magic treasures still need to be refined and triggered.

How could they be as convenient and fast as his spells and physique?

Now facing this blow from the gold brick magic treasure.

Luo Chen was still unhurried.

In his line of sight.

The gold brick smashed into the Glazed Sky Screen, as if it had fallen into layers of mud, and its majestic power could not be unleashed at once.

However!

Since the other party had such means, he must have more than just this.

Unaccountably, Luo Chen thought of his operation of killing Di Wanyun in Leishan back then.

In his extreme vigilance.

Sure enough!

Three streaks of black light broke through the ground, then flew in a triangular formation, one after another.

"It's these three Soul-Piercing Nails again!"

Luo Chen gave a low shout, and his right hand swung the Profound Fire Sword continuously, sending out sword lights to obstruct their movement trajectory.

At the same time, he didn't intend to stay here.

His wings trembled, and he took a step.

The Rising Dragon Step learned from Wang Yuan allowed him to move ten steps horizontally by relying on physical strength alone without using spiritual power at this moment.

After breaking free from the attack range of the gold brick and the three Soul-Piercing Nails, Luo Chen reached out to grab Helian Yun.

His blood energy surged and permeated, turning into a giant claw, grabbing down from the air, as if wanting to pinch him to death alive.

However, just as the giant claw was fired.

Luo Chen saw the sneer hanging on the old man's lips.

And!

That golden talisman floating in the air.

"Go to hell!"

Helian Yun gave a low roar, and his spiritual power surged toward the golden talisman continuously.

The talisman, which was already in a semi-triggered state, gained spiritual power supply and immediately burned without wind.

When the talisman burned out.

What was presented in front of him were countless sword shadows.

At this moment, Luo Chen's expression changed!

Ten Thousand Sword Talisman!

The most proud Tier 3 talisman of the Yuding Sword Sect, containing ten thousand sword qi, each of which was no less than the attack of a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator.

When ten thousand swords merged together, the killing power was not inferior to a Jin Dan blow!

It was too late to unfold the Glazed Sky Screen again at this moment.

Not to mention that metal generates water; according to the theory of the Five Elements, the Glazed Sky Screen could not block this blow either.

Although the gold brick was also a metal-type magic treasure, it followed the path of a blunt weapon with great momentum, and the Glazed Sky Screen could still delay the attack by using softness to overcome hardness.

But these ten thousand sword qi were point-to-point piercing.

In an instant!

Luo Chen shouted angrily and unleashed the Heavenly Peng Transformation without hesitation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

It was as if endless sword qi permeated the world.

The sharp whistling sound rang out, echoing between the snowy peaks, chilling the heart.

Helian Yun had triggered three major killing moves in a row, and at this moment, he could not help but be exhausted and mentally fatigued.

He stood on the ground, panting heavily.

A pair of aged eyes stared fixedly at the center point where countless sword qi were bombarding.

"Luo Chen, this is what you forced me to do."

"If you had obediently handed over the Mingyuan Pill at that time, why would you have ended up in such a state."

He reached out to recall the three Soul-Piercing Nails.

Just as he was about to recall the gold brick magic treasure, a feeling of unease arose in his heart.

"It was so difficult for a Jin Dan cultivator to kill him; can this one talisman of mine from the Yuding Sword Sect really kill him?"

While muttering to himself.

His mind moved, and he controlled the gold brick magic treasure to smash toward the place where the blood mist was spraying in the sky.

However, the next moment!

Boom!

A giant claw struck out.

With just one blow, the gold brick magic treasure was smashed into the mountain next to it.

The huge sound seemed to have triggered something.

Between heaven and earth, a rumbling sound actually rang out.

It was like thunder, and also like a mountain collapse.

Before Helian Yun could trace where the sound came from, the scene he saw made his heart and gallbladder tremble.

Above the sky.

The sword qi dissipated, and the sky cleared.

Only a huge, bloody figure was reflected in his pupils, which had shrunk to the size of a needle tip.

Luo Chen's voice came from the nine heavens, like thunder.

"Great Elder Helian, I have already held you in high enough regard, but I didn't expect to still underestimate your wealth."

"But everything!"

"Ends here!"

The next moment, a giant claw condensed from blood energy grabbed down with majestic and unparalleled momentum.

Helian Yun gritted his teeth and swung, and three streaks of black light flew toward the giant figure.

Armor-Piercing Nail, hit!

Qi-Piercing Nail, hit!

Soul-Piercing Nail, missed!

Two out of three nails hit; if it were ordinary, Helian Yun would probably be overjoyed.

However, on that figure that was over ten feet tall after spreading its wings, the two black nails seemed so insignificant.

If I let you pierce it, so what?

Just as Helian Yun felt panic in his heart, the giant claw reached down from the clouds and grabbed his body with unquestionable momentum.

The main body of the Ze Guo Gui Tu magic treasure, a scroll, still wrapped around his body, not letting the giant claw destroy his Dao body.

Whoo whoo whoo...

Accompanied by the whistling wind, the giant claw was retracted.

A pair of eyes as big as lanterns stared directly at Helian Yun's aged face.

One was indifferent, the other was panicked.

"Helian Yun, you are the first Foundation Establishment cultivator who has forced me to passively reveal the True Body of the Heavenly Peng."

"Dying under my Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw can be considered worthy of you."

As he spoke, the giant claw was continuously tightening, majestic force pressing on the magic treasure, the Ze Guo Gui Tu.

Helian Yun opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

He mobilized the spiritual power in his body regardless, trying to maintain the Ze Guo Gui Tu.

However!

Pfft!

Blood rain scattered down.

Luo Chen pinched the scroll with his fingertips and put it into his storage bag without hesitation, along with the three Soul-Piercing Nails.

There was no time to reflect.

Luo Chen turned his head abruptly.

The high snowy peak behind him was collapsing with a rumble.

It was not a mountain collapse, but an avalanche!

This was the source of the huge sound earlier.

The noise and sound of his battle with Helian Yun were truly too huge, thus triggering the power of heaven and earth—an avalanche.

At this moment, snow that had accumulated for who knows how many years was rolling down.

Countless snow waves traveled through it, just like snow python dragons.

Just like?

No!

What made Luo Chen face such a formidable enemy was naturally not this avalanche.

But the countless black-ringed giant pythons roaring and hissing in the avalanche.

Especially the leader, with its body length of dozens of feet and vertical pupils reflecting angry light, made Luo Chen feel cold in his heart.

"I should have thought of it earlier!"

"Since the fierce battle in the underground cave began, it was impossible to hide it from the snow python group of the Ten Thousand Python Cave."

"Now, even this Tier 3 early-stage Seven-Ringed Snow Python King has woken up from hibernation."

"Next, I fear there will be trouble!"

Excellent eyesight allowed him to see it extremely clearly.

On that Seven-Ringed Snow Python King, an eighth black ring had appeared faintly.

This was a sign of advancement!

A bitter smile appeared on Luo Chen's huge face.

However, beneath that bitter smile, there was more of a fierce look.

The huge wings trembled, and Luo Chen flew higher.

His claws moved flexibly, and formulas were spat out from his mouth.

This time, it was not using a tool to control the technique.

But the most complete state of spellcasting!

The crimson figure, spiritual light trembling endlessly, and surging spiritual power gushed out from his body.

Among them, strands of emerald green flames lingered on his fingertips.

In the distance.

The Seven-Ringed Snow Python King was furious.

The Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit it had cultivated for many years had actually been picked by someone!

Even the fruit tree had been destroyed.

That was the opportunity for it to advance to eight rings, or even break through to ten rings and break the bloodline shackles!

"Human!"

"It's a human!"

"It's that human in the distance, disguised as a Blazing Fire Cloud Peng!"

The faint aura guided it to the enemy's true location.

In its anger, it continuously issued orders with kingly pressure.

"Catch that person, I want him to know what it means to be entangled by ten thousand pythons and wish for death!"

Suddenly!

Its vertical pupils trembled, and an extremely dangerous feeling floated in its heart.

Intuition told it that disaster was imminent.

Without any hesitation, it suddenly wrapped itself into a ball.

Not only that.

From all directions, countless snow python subjects roaming and running swam toward it, wrapping it tightly.

A huge "snowball" immediately appeared on the snowy mountain.

It was also at this moment.

In the sky, a cold voice came down.

"Mountain Collapse!"

Boom!

A monstrous explosion shook heaven and earth.

The momentum of the avalanche forged the power of the mountain collapse.

The earth shook, and the snow waves raged.

The high mountain reaching into the clouds actually exploded with a bang at this moment.

Emerald green flames were scattered in the mountain collapse, turning snow into water and touching rocks into magma.

Cyan-green magma rolled down from top to bottom.

Wherever it passed, countless giant pythons wailed.

That huge snowball's size continuously decreased, finally revealing the true body of the Seven-Ringed Snow Python King.

On its snow-white body, seven and a half black rings were wriggling continuously.

Finally, that eighth black ring, which had not yet fully formed, was forced to dissipate under the contamination of the cyan-green flames.

Thus, it became a true Seven-Ringed Snow Python again.

But the cost?

"Human, I want you to die!!!"

The angry roar, like a python and a dragon, resounded through the continuous mountains.

Its python body moved, rolling up a thousand piles of snow, ignoring its suffering subjects, and chased after the direction the red figure had fled, refusing to give up.
