Chapter 62: 【Ice-Fire Demon Insect, Ambush Attack】 (Second update, please follow)
Ice Crystal Desert.
Zhao Yongcheng was rushing to fly and escape toward the edge area.
This is not a good place.
During the day, it is dry like a furnace roasting, and at night, the whole desert condenses into ice crystals. The closer to the central area, the colder it is.
Many powerful demonic beasts live in it, and many are gregarious, which is very dangerous.
If it weren't for wanting to climb up to the relationship of the fourth young master of the Gu-Spirit lineage of the Tianling Sect, thereby stabilizing his position in the Tianling Sect and obtaining resource inclination, he would not take this risk to enter here.
Fortunately, this trip was without danger, although he almost fell, but he, Zhao, was blessed with great luck and still obtained the things he wanted.
The Tianling Sect has three main lineages, one of which is the Gu-Spirit lineage, which specializes in Gu insects.
Zhao Yongcheng once obtained a book 【Gu Insect Secret Art】 in his early years, which records that in the fire slurry of the Ice Crystal Desert, there is a spirit fruit called 'Ice-Flame Fruit', which is used to cultivate Gu insects and can cultivate 'Ice-Fire Demon Insects', which are fearless of ice and fire spell attacks, have hard shells, and contain 'Ice-Fire Flowing Poison'.
Being bitten by this kind of Gu insect, its ice-fire flowing poison will make the poisoned person constantly suffer the feeling of extreme cold and extreme heat, ice and fire double heaven, not only ravaging the flesh but also torturing the divine soul.
The flowing poison will devour the poisoned person's spirit Qi, making the symptoms constantly worsen, and finally be frozen or burned to ashes.
A Golden Core realm cultivator, if bitten by this thing, if there is no treatment method, will inevitably die within half an hour. A Nascent Soul realm cultivator, if bitten, will lose more than half of his combat strength, and if there is no treatment method, will die sooner or later.
In short, this thing is very ferocious.
However, the biggest disadvantage of this kind of Gu insect is that it must bite the enemy to work.
If it cannot attack the target, it is also useless.
Generally speaking, a defensive Dharma treasure at the low-grade spirit tool level is enough to defend against the attack of Gu insects.
Although Gu insects can constantly consume the target's spirit Qi, if the other party kills the insect master who controls the Gu insects, then the threat is naturally solved.
Zhao Yongcheng is not an insect master, and he has no interest in studying this secret art.
He found this kind of spirit fruit just to offer it up together with the secret art, so that he could exchange it for sufficient benefits.
Just a secret art, he felt that it was simply not enough to attract attention.
Seeing that he was about to leave the range of the Ice Crystal Desert, Zhao Yongcheng's vigilance dropped a bit.
With his mid-stage Golden Core realm cultivation, although he could not be said to be rampant in this Northern Wasteland Region, he still had a certain ability to protect himself.
In the vast range of the entire Northern Wasteland Region, the total number of Golden Core realm cultivators does not reach four digits, and most of them are gathered together. When traveling abroad, the probability of encountering a Golden Core cultivator is very low.
Leaving the range of the Ice Crystal Desert meant being far away from the demonic beast groups within it, which made him feel that everything was under control.
Just at this time, suddenly, a flying sword emerged abruptly. Its speed was extremely fast, flickering with white light, its aura flowing, like heavenly power descending, vaguely giving Zhao Yongcheng a familiar feeling.
The flying sword under his feet rushed up, hitting the flying sword that was attacking him with one strike.
This attack looked very impressive, but in reality, it was only equivalent to a normal attack of an early-stage Golden Core realm cultivator.
It had a certain threat, but it could be easily handled.
After the flying sword was repelled, a figure rushed out from underground, suddenly threw out a few talismans, and in an instant, thunder fell, fire birds attacked, and yin winds blew.
Zhao Yongcheng could perceive that the grade of these talismans was only third-grade high-grade. He only released a spirit power shield to block them all.
Just as he was about to counterattack, he saw that person suddenly fall to the ground, then sink into the desert, and flee in one direction.
Seeing this scene, a section of memory in Zhao Yongcheng's mind was awakened.
'This is the earth-escaping supernatural power! That sword art just now was used by that Lu family Golden Core ancestor!'
In an instant, he did not hesitate, or rather, he had no time to consider other things, and immediately chased after him.
He had no time to think about any danger at this time.
Things happened too fast. From Lu Chengtong suddenly popping out to attack, to him suddenly fleeing again, Zhao Yongcheng almost subconsciously decided that he must chase after him.
The Golden Wind Immortal Sect was destroyed, and he had no great feelings in his heart; anyway, he had no attachments.
But that Lu family supernatural power inheritance was a thorn in his heart. Now he only had one thought in his mind.
'This person is the only hope for him to obtain the supernatural power inheritance; he must catch him!'
Driven by this thought, the vigilance he should have had was thrown to the back of his mind.
Soon, the two were chasing each other and arrived at a desert area not far away.
Zhao Yongcheng felt at this time that the Lu family member who was sneak-attacking him seemed to be actively slowing down.
Before he could react, three auras suddenly appeared, and immediately after, three array flags were suspended in the air, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly.
Originally, what entered his eyes was a vast expanse of yellow sand, but now, the surroundings had become a world composed of white, red, and purple light.
"Zhao Yongcheng, the grudge of exterminating my maternal clan, I come to avenge today! Go to hell
Chen Sanqing let out a fierce shout, activated his flying sword, and erupted with golden light. He then channeled the supernatural power 【Fractal Phantom】 to manifest over a dozen clones and hundreds of illusions, which descended to attack Zhao Yongcheng.
He possessed a top-grade Metal Spirit Root and cultivated the Sword Dao. With a single sword strike, sword intent followed naturally, its sharpness cutting through the Spirit Qi. Hundreds of golden light flying swords were seen descending.
Zhao Yongcheng saw Chen Sanqing and heard his angry shout, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.
'Damn it, could this person's mother be a member of the Lu family? No wonder a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lu family dared to seek revenge on me; it turns out they found an outsider to help!'
Since he had previously deduced that it was the Lu family who had lured him here, upon hearing Chen Sanqing's words, he naturally assumed that Chen Sanqing's mother was a member of the Lu family, never doubting whether his status as the other party's enemy was fake.
In reality, even if he knew they were not from the Lu family, he would not be certain if he was truly the other party's enemy; after all, at his level of cultivation, the number of families he had wiped out was not small.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the less they actually leave their sect, because they have made too many enemies, and there are always some who emerge to seek revenge.
In the cultivation world, there are many means of tracking and revenge; who can guarantee they won't be discovered by an enemy and then retaliated against?
After seeing Chen Sanqing use the 【Fractal Phantom】 supernatural power, Zhao Yongcheng was even more certain of his deduction.
After all, how could the Lu family's inheritance of supernatural powers fall into the hands of an outsider? This person must have a blood connection to the Lu family.
These thoughts lasted only for an instant.
Zhao Yongcheng sensed the power of this move and dared not resist it head-on, but within this array, he had nowhere to dodge for the moment.
He had no choice but to quickly bring out his defensive Dharma treasure.
A small gray bell appeared above his head, then immediately grew to five zhang in height, shielding him inside.
This treasure had blocked Lu Mingzhang's self-detonation attack back then and was quite damaged.
It took many materials to repair it to this extent.
But it had not truly recovered yet.
Now, it had to withstand another severe test.
Hundreds of golden flying swords descended, bringing immense pressure, and a wave of spiritual pressure suddenly rippled out from the small bell.
No more for today; from now on, there will be two chapters every day, one at 12:00 PM and one at 6:00 PM.
