Chapter 320: Strange Staff

"Just cannot plant the Dao, but can take and release magic tools." Li Youyi explained patiently.

Sikong Jingyuan cursed extremely dirtily, then roared: "You are looking for death!"

Li Youyi's eyes froze, holding the Huang Long Sword above his head, the magic power in his body transported crazily, injecting into the sword body.

"Whoosh!"

On the sword body, nine Dao texts appeared, and the sword tip attracted streaks of lightning.

Reaching the Dao Seed Realm, the Huang Long Sword became more miraculous.

The Dao texts on the sword body were not scriptures, but the Six-Auspice Secret Wishes of the Dao Gate, emerging from inside the sword body.

"Boom!"

Li Youyi crouched down, slashing horizontally with one sword.

Accompanied by a thunderclap, sword light and lightning shot out.

Those ghost generals accompanying Sikong Jingyuan exploded like bubbles, seven or eight of them shattered in an instant, and the formation they formed couldn't stop it.

In the distance.

Er Feng led the Bone-Eroding Miasma Mosquito group, coming overwhelmingly, rushing into the area of Sikong Jingyuan's Dao Heart External Image, collapsing the hundred-ghost formation.

"Whoosh!"

Yin wind blew, ghost clouds surged.

The sound of battle flags sounded in the wind.

The fifty-foot-tall Yin Ghost Commander ran rapidly, wearing armor and holding a spear, with a ferocious sheep head. Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao stood on its left and right shoulders respectively, one holding a knife and shield, one bending the bow and setting the arrow.

The battle soldiers changed hands, obviously Sikong Ce and Sikong Qin were in bad luck.

Facing this dangerous situation, Sikong Jingyuan felt cold all over, woke up, immediately put away the Dao Heart External Image and ghost generals, performed an escape technique, and his body suddenly rushed into the mud swamp.

"Boom!"

Li Youyi slashed down with one sword, like opening the sea, splitting the swamp into two.

The sword mark was a foot deep.

Unfortunately, he was a step late and was escaped by him.

Li Youyi immediately released his thought power nerve to probe the surroundings.

Er Feng chased Sikong Jingyuan's aura, flying two or three miles away in a certain direction. But, the aura was interrupted here, disappearing without a trace.

Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao were also looking, but gained nothing.

"Damn, escaped again! When I go back, I will also practice a powerful escape technique, life-saving methods are more important than anything." Qi Xiao's chest heaved, very angry.

Li Youyi had a good mentality, laughing: "Sikong Jingyuan's cultivation base far exceeds ours, wanting to fight upward in adversity and leave him behind, we will definitely pay a tragic price. Wait until Tuoba reaches the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, we will join forces again, block all his retreat paths, and guarantee he can't escape."

Tuoba Butuo said: "A figure like Sikong Jingyuan, fifth heaven, sixth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, wanting to capture or kill him is not an easy thing. Let alone us? Brother Youyi, what is your cultivation realm? I feel that when you fight him, you are always in the upper hand."

"All rely on battle soldiers and Dao arts to catch him off guard. Moreover, I have the thought power attainment of the peak of the three-star spirit thought master, who says thought masters cannot fight upward in adversity?"

Li Youyi looked at his left hand, which was aching.

Even with the defense of the Blood Hand Seal Demon Armor, when collecting the golden ancient mirror, his palm was still wounded, skin torn and flesh open.

However, thinking of seizing a Grade Seven Hundred-Character Tool, which could at least be sold for a million Gushing Spring coins, his mood suddenly became great.

Putting away the Huang Long Sword, Li Youyi asked: "Did those two old guys escape too?"

"Escaped one, captured one."

Tuoba Butuo's magic power consumption was huge, feeling that Sikong Jingyuan should have really escaped far away, so he stopped mobilizing the Ghost Flag and took the Yin Ghost Commander back into the flag.

Opening the boundary bag, he released Sikong Ce.

Sikong Ce was burned black by the Du Ling Cold Fire, seriously injured, and had already been knocked unconscious. When Sikong Qin performed the escape technique, he was already injured, so naturally he could only escape alone.

Although the Yin Ghost Commander was strong, its attack methods were single, and a martial cultivator of the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm wanted to escape, so he couldn't be kept at all.

Li Youyi took away all the valuable things on Sikong Ce: "Capturing one is already very good! An expert of the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm is very valuable. Tuoba, he is left to you first!"

"Understood."

Tuoba Butuo laughed unkindly, breaking Sikong Ce's limbs one by one.

Dealing with martial arts expert captives, this was the safest method.

"We actually managed to capture a martial arts expert of the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm! The head of our Qi family is only one realm higher than him." Qi Xiao laughed.

Li Youyi breathed and exhaled to quickly recover magic power, asking: "How long have we been in the Black Swamp of Meditation Flowers?"

"About four days!" Qi Xiao said.

Li Youyi calculated secretly, then asked again: "How is the harvest?"

"Picked three Flowers of Meditation, temporarily haven't found Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone fragments." Qi Xiao said.

"I picked three Flowers of Meditation, and one thousand-year essence medicine."

Tuoba Butuo took out a palm-sized pitch-black essence medicine, like a short and fat child, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance, with rich life aura. He handed this thousand-year essence medicine to Li Youyi, knowing that he raised seven strange insects, and the consumption of resources was extremely great.

Immediately after, he took out the rusty spear: "This thing, I don't quite understand, but it shouldn't be an ordinary object."

After Qi Xiao took it, he almost sank into the swamp, it was too heavy, weighing more than thirty thousand jin.

It was indeed not an ordinary object.

Using magic power to mobilize it, there was no reaction at all.

"Don't understand!"

He shook his head and handed it to Li Youyi.

Li Youyi had preparation, magic power condensed into clouds under his feet, supporting and carrying his body, grabbing the rusty spear, and also mobilizing magic power to inject. But it was like a dead iron, magic power couldn't get in.

Tuoba Butuo said: "This spear and the thousand-year essence medicine were both found deep in the bottom of the swamp three hundred miles into the Black Swamp of Meditation Flowers. That area is very weird..."

Qi Xiao said: "It should just be a spear cast from dense metal."

"This spear is cast very carefully, the length is exactly one foot, not a point more, not a point less, the weight is thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three jin."

As a thought master, Li Youyi was very sensitive to length and weight.

Array masters cannot be a point more or a point less when setting up arrays. Alchemists cannot be a point heavier or lighter when refining pills.

Li Youyi looked at the spearhead, exactly one foot long, very sharp, the two ears like human ears.

Wiping the rust with his hand, some blurred star track traces appeared below, which seemed to have been seen somewhere.

Looking at the spear tail again...

The spear tail was empty, tubular, and uneven.

Don't know if it was designed this way on purpose, or if something else was installed.

Li Youyi's heart moved, mobilizing thought power, with Jin Wu flames, preparing to burn and refine the spear to see if it could be melted.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

Jin Wu flames wrapped the spear.

A weird thing happened, the rusty spear was rapidly absorbing Li Youyi's thought power.

Li Youyi was surprised, fully mobilizing thought power to inject.

Gradually, the foot-long spearhead became bright, and the star track patterns became clear. Above the three people's heads, the same star track patterns appeared, covering a large area.

"This wouldn't be a thought master's staff, would it?" Qi Xiao exclaimed.

Martial cultivator's magic tools are strange and varied, with many types.

But thought master's objects are very few, and each one is very precious.

Talismans and array flags cannot be considered thought master objects, because martial cultivators can also mobilize and use them.

Li Youyi swung the spear, the light on the spearhead and the star track patterns above his head instantly dissipated, with no power erupting.

"It should be a staff... to be precise, it is a battle soldier that is a combination of a spear and a staff, but it seems to be missing a section, unable to exert its power."

Li Youyi felt the extraordinary nature of this spear, asking: "Tuoba, where was it found? If I can find the other section, I will trade the Ghost Flag with you."

Next, he must use the identity of a spirit thought master to cover up his martial arts attainments as much as possible.

Fighting Sikong Jingyuan, no need to worry about exposing anything, it could bluff him. But if a Longevity Realm giant was watching the battle, the huge gap in martial arts realm and combat power would definitely cause quite a bit of trouble.

A handy staff could greatly increase his combat power as a spirit thought master, truly achieving fighting upward in adversity.

Tuoba Butuo laughed: "No need to trade, Brother Youyi just take it, if it really is a staff, I can't use it! Besides... do you think I can hold a treasure like the Ghost Flag? I think, Brother Youyi, you can't hold it either."

Only after mobilizing the Ghost Flag did he know how extraordinary it was.

The Yin Ghost Commander mobilized by Tuoba Butuo with the cultivation base of the third heaven of the Dao Seed Realm could already challenge some weaker fifth heaven Dao Seed Realm powerhouses.

Moreover, he could join forces with it to fight.

It's just that the magic power consumption is huge.

The reason Tuoba Butuo said Li Youyi couldn't hold it was because no one knew the upper limit of the Ghost Flag until now. How could Hall Master An and Venerable Yao not have thought about using it?

Thinking for the best, the reason they hadn't spoken was first, the arrogance of the strong, and second, they hadn't encountered a crisis they couldn't deal with.

Thinking for the worst, there were more possibilities.

Tuoba Butuo said: "Brother Youyi doesn't need to be reserved, just for the life-saving grace, you can accept this object with peace of mind. Besides, if the other section can't be found, it's a dead object, worthless."

"Then I won't be polite! I will compensate you elsewhere in the future."

Li Youyi put away the spear and said again: "Go, let's go to the weird area you mentioned and look again! I want to see how weird it is."

Qi Xiao was a bit worried: "Sikong Jingyuan escaped, he will definitely return to the Withered Glory Hall to ask for powerful helpers. Will it be too dangerous for us to continue staying in the Black Swamp of Meditation Flowers?"

Tuoba Butuo nodded: "We return to the main altar first, that is the side that is reasonable. Let Sikong Jingyuan go back first, he will definitely turn black and white, and make a big deal out of Sikong Ce."

Li Youyi said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. But have you ever thought, Sikong Jingyuan must also think that we will return to the main altar immediately? He goes a step ahead, we can't catch up. Now rushing back to the main altar, it might be even more dangerous."

Li Youyi had many life-saving means on him, without too much fear, and said again: "There is another possibility! Sikong Jingyuan is a Son of God, and a Son of God with a higher cultivation base than us."

"He shouldn't be so gray-faced and flee back, not only defeated, but the treasure mirror was also taken away by me, too shameful! If I were him, without being injured, I would definitely hide in the dark and make a comeback."

"His hiding means and escape techniques are all quite remarkable."

Tuoba Butuo nodded lightly: "If it were me, I would do the same. And, he and Sikong Yanlun are Rice brothers, having a wonderful feeling in their hearts, if he calls Sikong Yanlun over, he will definitely be full of confidence and fight us again."

"Go, with our current strength, even if the brothers join forces, it's not certain how much chance of winning they have."

After fighting Sikong Jingyuan, Li Youyi was more confident, dispelling the charm of the fourth heaven Dao Seed Realm martial cultivator.

People who condensed Dao Lotuses were unreachable before, like towering mountains pressing him so he couldn't breathe. Now looking at it, it's actually nothing more than this.
