Chapter 625

Guo Hongjian chased that Xia Yao all the way, but was eventually shaken off. When he returned driving the combined fire, his escape light was somewhat dim, as he was truly short of magic power in his body and could not continue. "It's a pity. It's rare to see a Foundation Establishment level Xia Yao. The Xia light attribute is good at escaping and can knock down magic tools. It's really hard to catch."

When the great water rises, the Xia Yao appears. This Foundation Establishment level Xia Yao should have broken through during the great water when the North Sea cracked. The conditions for this spirit beast to break through are too harsh, and now it is a rare item of the first class. Guo Hongjian missed the opportunity, and naturally felt endless regret.

Although his cultivation technique was of an extremely high grade, the Immortal Foundation 【Heart Period Burning】 in his body was not known for its vastness. With two elixirs in his mouth, the magic power in his body recovered a lot. The 【Cloud Light Profound Ring】 under his feet shook slightly, and his speed became a bit faster. Looking south, he saw a person driving the wind passing by from afar.

This person was hiding in a magic tool, unable to see his figure clearly. On top, he was carrying an eight-sided painting screen, surrounded in a cylindrical shape, emitting a mysterious golden color, covering him inside, like a gray-golden small dot on the horizon.

He could clearly see the gray-red combined fire jumping on the painting screen. No matter how the magic power removed it, it still refused to extinguish, making Guo Hongjian laugh loudly in his heart: "The combined fire path damages weapons and hurts life. It cannot be cleaned without several days of nourishment and elimination!"

It was not only his Red Reef family that cultivated combined fire overseas. Guo Hongjian did not think too much. After flying forward for a while, he observed from afar a gray cloud in the sky of Xifeng Island, and several small black-dot-like cultivators were shuttling back and forth in the gray cloud driving the wind.

"Huh?!"

The scorching combined fire flowed all over the sky. Guo Hongjian stopped abruptly, his pupils slowly dilating.

If he couldn't react now, he would truly be a fool. Killing intent rushed onto his face instantly. He immediately turned around, the cloud ring under his feet burst, and he revealed a gray-red fire token in his hand, turned his head and galloped away, gnashing his teeth:

"Thief, don't run!"

"This person actually harmed Hongkang!"

He naturally did not think that his younger sister Guo Hongyao would die in this person's hands. After all, he had chased and returned, estimating their time of leaving the island, which was at most an hour or two. The phenomenon in the sky at most meant one person died, and that was Guo Hongkang.

But the anger in Guo Hongjian's heart was not a bit less. Although Guo Hongkang was not his own brother, this person had quite a lot of strategy, and Guo Hongjian had always kept him by his side, finding him very useful. Sometimes he even had to listen to his suggestions. Dying here like this was undoubtedly completely worthless.

Anger rose from his heart, the flames at the soles of his feet rose, he stepped on that cloud ring, and rushed over at extreme speed. That person had already turned into a micro-imperceptible light dot on the horizon, but Guo Hongjian remembered it firmly in that glance just now, estimating that the opponent's speed was far inferior to his own at the moment.

"Wait for death!"

Guo Hongjian practiced 【Heart Period Burning】, and his escape method was very slow. Fortunately, he had the blessing of magic tools. Although he was not as good as the Xia Yao, he was not something ordinary people could reach. His vitality was surging, pulling out a white-red trace in the sky rapidly, and soon he found that golden brilliance, without saying a word, and approached with his head down.

"Sure enough, he came... I knew he wouldn't let me go so easily..."

Li Xijun had already discovered this person.

He could have used the Immortal Mirror to observe heaven and earth and calmly avoid this person. Guo Hongjian couldn't even touch his shadow. But Li Xijun's mind was very delicate, thinking that with Zifu intervening, how could he dare to change direction at will?

Rather than having his abnormality discovered, causing more Zifu to have doubts and watch silently, harming his own family, Li Xijun would rather take more risks himself. At worst, his own plan would fail, but if the Immortal Mirror was exposed, it would be a matter of sect extermination.

Seeing Guo Hongjian catching up, Li Xijun's spiritual sense immediately scanned the cloud ring under his feet, discovering that this object was shining, emitting bursts of white magic light blessing this middle-aged man, and he felt something was wrong.

He observed carefully for a while, his heart moved, he pinched the formula to cast the spell, his spiritual sense hooked the magic tool, the green light on the screen swayed, scattering a piece of dark cyan brilliance, and 【Tuoba Zhongyuan】 operated again.

"Hum..."

This green light swept nimbly, immediately capturing the cloud ring at the soles of Guo Hongjian's feet. This white and clean cloud ring flashed, and the cloud energy drifted away, the magic light burst, and it immediately returned to its original form, only the size of a ring, captured by the 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】.

"What!"

Guo Hongjian was shocked and angry, almost falling from the clouds for a while. Before the fight even started, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, his heart greatly shocked:

"What kind of magic tool is this! How unreasonable?"

Guo Hongjian had just chased the Xia Yao who was good at knocking down magic tools. Of course, he knew that there were many magic spells and magic tools for knocking down in this world, but knocking down magic tools was one thing, how could there be a reason to capture the flying magic tool under someone's feet!

Not to mention it was so crisp and neat! He was beaten back to his original form for a while, his speed greatly reduced, and his speed was not as good as the person in front of him. The shock in his heart was hard to hold back. Li Xijun realized: "【Tuoba Zhongyuan】 is imitating the Tuoba Zhongyuan Great Wind of the Great West Plateau. Under this wind, even Foundation Establishment cannot fly. It is not just knocking down magic tools, but knocking down the magic light of magic tools... naturally including the magic light of the cloud ring. This magic tool's three effects are none of them simple!"

Guo Hongjian watched the distance being pulled open again, and some greed secretly rose in his heart, but for a while, he was actually somewhat embarrassed:

"Use flying sword? Magic light? The distance is not enough to cast spells, and others are probably all knocked down by this iron-bucket-like magic tool! Which family is this person from!"

He went through his mind once, discovering that as long as the person holding that magic tool was fast enough, it was truly difficult to counter. After weighing for two breaths, the distance was pulled out far away again.

His expression was gloomy, he joined two fingers, and picked out a talisman, appearing sandalwood red, wide and large, with a lifelike, scale-covered big rat drawn on it. Guo Hongjian ordered:

"Wind of Honghuo, listen to my order, shuttle back and forth, and gallop together with fire!"

Li Xijun listened quietly. The talisman between Guo Hongjian's two fingers suddenly spat out a bit of sandalwood-red wind, first turning into a long-scaled red rat in mid-air, howling with its throat pulled, and then turning into sandalwood wind, supporting the soles of his feet, and chasing north at extreme speed.

Guo Hongjian's talisman was extraordinary, called 【Together with Fire Galloping Talisman】, drawn by the spirit pet Sandalwood Cloud Rat of Red Reef's island-opening ancestor Guo Shentong. This combined fire spirit beast was good at using a wind of Honghuo. Refining this talisman was originally for the direct line to escape. Guo Hongjian was both greedy and angry in his heart, and decisively used this talisman! For a time, the sandalwood-red fire wind condensed, he closed the distance in an instant, held the long token in his hand between his two lips, breathed for a moment, his eyes gray-red, and spat out a stream of combined fire.

This flame was simply different from Guo Hongkang's, thick and vast, burning hair and destroying trees, emitting a strange crow-like sound. The dark gray flame slammed onto the screen, emitting a violent roar.

Li Xijun was already injured and lacked magic power. This slam almost made him fall from the sky. This combined fire burned fiercely on the painting screen, sucking away the magic power in his body like a whale swallowing. The 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】 did not get the support of magic power, and the brilliance on the screen dimmed instantly.

"Clang!"

Guo Hongjian was driving the flames, the screen light suddenly separated, bursting out a bright sword light, like frost and snow falling. He watched coldly, and a red gauze flew out of his sleeve, fluttering and turning, wrapping the sword light.

This red gauze emitted a muffled sound, as if binding a dragon. That thing was struggling extremely violently in the gauze. Guo Hongjian was quite surprised, magic power surged into it, and he asked:

"Sword Yuan? Sword Yuan is also useless!"

He was not Guo Hongkang, seeing at a glance that the person in the magic tool lacked magic power, and he didn't even need to do anything himself. Just maintaining the flames for half a quarter of an hour, this person would inevitably fall into the sea.

"Lose in the east, gain in the west."

But Guo Hongjian had greed for this magic tool, so naturally, it was better to finish the battle quickly. He pinched the formula to cast the spell, combined fire surging, taking advantage of this person being entangled by the combined fire on the screen and unable to be distracted, the flames in his hands gathered rapidly.

Li Xijun was in a desperate situation, but he was not in a hurry. There was no emotion in his gray-white eyes. The radiance of the Chongming Dongxuan Screen was dim, and 【Cold Lin】 also returned to its sheath, falling into his bosom.

His hand caught in his sleeve, revealing a talisman:

This talisman appeared sandalwood red, wide and large, as big as a palm, with the same lifelike, scale-covered big rat drawn on it, and the golden eyes were already full of magic power.

【Together with Fire Galloping Talisman】! Li Xijun injected his remaining magic power into it, copying the cat and drawing the tiger, his lips and teeth opened and closed, and his clear voice echoed in the screen:

"Wind of Honghuo, listen to my order, shuttle back and forth, and gallop together with fire!"

The talisman in his hand spat out a bit of sandalwood-red wind, also turning into a long-scaled red rat in mid-air, howling with its throat pulled, and then turning into sandalwood wind, supporting the soles of his feet, and galloping north.

Guo Hongjian listened to this howling sound, the magic spell in his hand stopped abruptly, staring blankly at the gray-red brilliance disappearing into the distance, his mind blank: "He... why does he have my family's 【Together with Fire Galloping Talisman】?"

The gray fire in his hands flowed, dumbfounded, turned his head, looked at the road he came from, and stunned:

"Why does he know my family's incantation!"

Guo Hongjian turned his head back, and there was no trace of anyone on the horizon. The expression on his face was like a hundred-flavor bottle being overturned, various emotions intertwined and changed, terrified:

"That's it! I recited it earlier!"

He pondered for a breath, soon understood, took a deep breath, his eyes crystalline, and squeezed a few words out of his teeth: "Little sister... good villain..."

While Guo Hongjian was grieving, doubts slowly emerged in his mind, lingering in his mind and unable to be removed: "But even if he killed my little sister... the storage bag of my Red Reef Island direct line is not something that can be opened just by saying so... even if it is an Immortal Foundation specifically aimed at this path, it will take ten days and a half months! Not to mention the curse and marking method in it is extremely brilliant, why is he completely unaffected!"

"It couldn't be that little sister took it out and gave it to him!"

Grand Void.

The pitch-black Grand Void fluctuated, and a woman in simple Daoist robes appeared, holding an umbrella in her bosom, her black hair pinned with a hairpin, her eyes looking through the Grand Void at the present world.

"This..."

She hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "There is actually such a reason... Guo Hongyao... is truly extremely useless."

A True Person on the side did not show his figure, and a low, thick voice echoed in her ears:

"A very alert junior... the sword technique is also powerful."

The two saw clearly in the Grand Void that this talisman that changed the situation was of course obtained from Guo Hongyao's hands. The Guo family's storage bag was difficult to open, but Guo Hongyao held this talisman in her palm! Facing a life-and-death crisis, the first thing Guo Hongyao took out was of course this escape talisman unique to the direct line. She had only injected half of the magic power when Li Xijun used his sword technique to kill her with one sword, and this talisman naturally fell into Li Xijun's hands.

"It just so happens that Guo Hongjian approached to cast the spell, and the incantation was heard clean by him..."

True Person Hengxing held the umbrella and muttered a few words, stretched out her slender fingers, calculated for a few moments, and replied warmly:

"That ancient magic tool after all painted six True Persons. Even if they proved the Dao one by one, the faces on the screen were all wiped out, it is still a variable. It is normal to calculate wrong by a thread."

Calculating a matter, although it wouldn't be a difference of a thread leading to a thousand miles of error, this variable just happened to hit the key of the battle, detaching from her control. She still felt somewhat unbelievable and asked:

"Is it too coincidental?"

Another True Person appeared in the Grand Void, an old man in gray clothes carrying a sword, with an ordinary appearance, standing with his hands behind his back, thoughtfully saying:

"Fellow Daoist thinks... he possesses fate?"

The man shook his head gently and continued: "I cannot calculate, nor can I understand things like fate. I just vaguely remember one thing. The Xu Xiao who obtained the combined fire back then was killed by him. Is there any influence?"

True Person Hengxing pondered for a moment and shook her head:

"The Xu Xiao matter is completely unreasonable. If you can obtain the fate of a person by killing them, how could Senior Chang Xiao, Guo Shentong, and Junjian have their lives?"

"As for Li Xijun, everything he has done along the way conforms to the calculation. If he possessed fate, he would have long since detached from the arrangement. This painting screen was my lack of consideration. Now that I have seen the wonder, the next calculation will not be wrong again."

The man nodded and asked: "Then Tu Long..."

"It doesn't matter."

True Person Hengxing nodded gently and replied: "Li Xijun is attacked by combined fire. Not being caught by Guo Hongjian doesn't mean this matter is over. Now it's just to make Fellow Daoist Tu Long more active. The game that should be there should still be there."

The old man carrying the sword shook his head gently and sighed:

"Junjian has an ancient style, but it is out of tune with the times. In such a world... I, a sword holder, often have a clear conscience, so my sword intent is hard to achieve. If he practiced the sword, it is hard to say that he is already a sword immortal now."

True Person Hengxing's voice was gentle, and she shook her head:

"He has chivalry. Chivalry must be free. When he was Foundation Establishment, he roamed the East Sea, Zifu divine abilities were hard to control, and the three sects' Daoists could not stop him. Who could control him? Naturally, he has a benevolent and chivalrous style."

"But he is not free when he is Zifu. One word saves a hundred people, and the other side hurts a thousand people. In this dim world, who can be free? Even Donghua cannot..."

True Person Hengxing pursed her lips and replied: "When I achieved Zifu, my predecessors once said: As a driver of divine abilities, the eyes are the weakest part of the whole body. That is the reason."

"Oh?"

The old man frowned slightly, having never heard of this saying. Most cultivators who achieved Zifu, let alone eyes, could throw away their whole bodies at any time. He was immediately suspicious: "Fellow Daoist, please solve my confusion."

True Person Hengxing said softly: "People all have compassion. Seeing the suffering of others makes them feel pain, so the eyes grow under the eyebrows of the divine ability driver, which is weaker than any of his weaknesses."

The sword-carrying True Person lowered his brows silently and replied: "Thus there is today's world."

The two gradually hid their figures in the Grand Void. The old man sighed, his voice low, and replied: "Let's see how he responds."

The last day of 23, wish everyone happiness!
