Chapter 3356: Unexpected

Even though the robed elder brought him to this mysterious canyon and taught him some cultivation techniques, the robed elder still treated him as a servant. The black bear was the robed elder's spir...The source of "獨步成仙":

With a hum, the final rune eye bloomed with an odd light, reflecting on Xiang Qingcheng's body. The Xian Fu of the Guangyin Taixiao formation disappeared into her body one by one. Once these talisman arrays vanished, the nine crystal corpses that had been appearing and disappearing became fully visible. Within the formation, five pieces of Qixia Yunguang stone were also revealed. Xiang Qingcheng raised her hand to collect these Qixia Yunguang stones.

The first piece vanished into her hand, disappearing without a trace. In the distance, a starlight beam illuminated the scene. That beam gathered into one, appearing to have little power to harm, yet it was something that Xiang Qingcheng couldn't withstand.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows raised. Xingyan Lao Gui, this guy's ability to conceal his whereabouts has indeed improved a lot. If he wasn't concealing himself before, then he must have gained something within the ruins of Ziqing Xian Gong.

“Ha ha, you want to monopolize these Qixia Yunguang stones Dream on!” The Star Rock Demon considered the Stone Demon an outsider just like Lu Xia Tian, but having one more person stirring things up proved to be the Stone Demon’s best choice in breaking the current stalemate. Seeing that Lu Xia Tian was about to help Xiang Qingcheng, the Stone Demon immediately increased his attack power, four Qixia Yunguang stones were already on display, no matter what, he couldn’t let Lu Xia Tian get them. As long as he didn't let Lu Xia Tian get them, there was still hope. If Xiang Qingcheng succeeded, it would be equivalent to Lu Xia Tian succeeding.

When Shi Mo went all out, he indeed restrained most of Lu Xiaottian's energy. Lu Xiaottian wasn't completely powerless, but he knew Xing Yan Lao Gui was formidable. With just a portion of his energy, he couldn't possibly shake this fellow.

Xingyan Lao Gui's empty hand grasped, Lu Xia Tian's figure flashed. The Five Fiends Wave was still battling with Shi Mo, but Lu Xia Tian himself had already appeared from within the Five Fiends Wave. This was something neither Xingyan Lao Gui nor Shi Mo had expected.

Lu XiaTian's true cultivation was only that of a True Immortal, and he could only survive by merging with the essence of the Sha Shui. He hid within the Five Calamity Waves to protect himself or fight against others of his level. However, now that Xiang Qing Cheng is in danger, he has emerged from the Five Calamity Waves. Facing these powerful Xuan Xian-level cultivators, it's like walking straight into a death trap.

A fierce glint flashed in Xingyan Lao's eyes. If he could take the opportunity to kill Lu Xiaoteng, it would be a good thing. Not only could he snatch more Qixia Yunguang Stone, he might even fight for the essence of Shaishui. What Xingyan Lao valued most was that Lu Xiaoteng had obtained the secret collection of martial arts from Ziqing Xian Gong. Xingyan Lao temporarily cleared his mind and didn't know the relationship between Yunxiadidian and other branches of Ziqing Xian Gong. In his eyes, the secret collection of martial arts in Yunxiadidian being in Lu Xiaoteng's hands was equivalent to the entire Ziqing Xian Gong.

At this distance, Lu Xia Tian used some spatial power, his speed was astonishingly fast. Coupled with the sudden change, Xing Yan Lao Gui could only manage to strike out with another palm at this time.

Lu Xia Tian temporarily withdrew from the Five Devils Wave, but the Five Devils Wave was still under his control. The stone demon's thick tentacles swung down one after another, all of which were blocked by the heavy armored giant soldiers. The stone demon roared incessantly, but it was unable to break through Lu Xia Tian's defense formed by the Five Devils Wave. It could only hope that the Xingyan old monster would take the opportunity to kill Lu Xia Tian's main body and create an opportunity for him.

The first beam of starlight struck by the Star Rock Demon was originally thought to be enough to kill Xiang Qingcheng. However, a blood spirit orb appeared, and the bloody light extinguished the starlight. When another palm strike from the Star Rock Demon met Lu Xiaoteng's raised palm, Lu Xiaoteng was blasted back. What surprised the Star Rock Demon was that although Lu Xiaoteng was repelled, he didn't show any unusual signs.

Starrock Demon's attack invaded Lu Xia Tian's body, it was not without effect, but Lu Xia Tian mobilized his dragon essence to extinguish the foreign force that invaded his body.

Lu Xia Tian kept his face impassive, but inwardly he was shaken. Using dragon essence to extinguish the foreign power invading his body was extremely dangerous. He had to eradicate it within a very short time, and more importantly, he couldn't let out even a trace of it.

This method was a one-time opportunity. Thankfully, after all that effort, Xiang Qingcheng had acquired two more Qixia Yunguang stones. Now, Lu Xia Tian didn't hesitate any longer and used the Town Demon Pagoda to bring Xiang Qingcheng into it.

Xingyan Lao Gui hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two pieces of Qixia Cloud Light Stones still floating in the void, then at Lu Xiaoteng. At this time, these two pieces of Qixia Cloud Light Stones were already ownerless. It was easy to take them, but Lu Xiaoteng had more treasures on him, and it wasn't so easy to deal with. Especially since Lu Xiaoteng had just effortlessly received his palm strike without any change in expression, he obviously had something else up his sleeve. Could it be that he had obtained another treasure inside this Ziqing Xian Palace

This time, the Star Rock Demon wanted to achieve a surprise attack effect, so he let Xingwu and Meng Xingzhou's group stay far away and not show up. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide from Lu Xiaotien.

Such an opportunity probably won't come again. It's not easy to kill Lu Xiaoteng immediately, but the two pieces of Qixia Yunguang Stone are now ownerless. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Out of fear of Lu Xiaoteng, Xingyan Lao Gui decided to take a step back and aim for the two pieces of Qixia Yunguang Stone instead.

Lu Xia Tian also suddenly let go of his obstruction against Shi Mo. Shi Mo glanced at Lu Xia Tian's main body, deeply feeling that Lu Xia Tian was difficult to deal with, and he took the lead in snatching a piece and then saying...

It was merely a fleeting moment. Lu Xiaotian’s main body had once again merged into the tide of killing energy. His body became ethereal once more. The fierce and violent battle just moments ago was now replaced by an eerie stillness.

The three of the Lion Mane Elder's group retreated to Lu Xia Tian's side. What pained them was that they had lost three companions, and now they still had nothing. At this time, there was only one way left: to stand on the same front line as Lu Xia Tian.

Xingyan Lao Gui and Shi Mo each grabbed a piece of Qixia Yunguang Stone. It could be considered a small gain. The two looked at each other, their attention shifting back to Lu Xia Tian.

Their eyes held an undisguised greed. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a barrage of arrows, blazing with fiery breath, rained down from afar.

Several others were caught in the hail of arrows, namely Xingwu and the four of Meng Xingzhou. At this time, one person had already been injured.

“Yan Huo Lie Feng Jian! This is a celestial artifact!” Xingyan Lao Gui’s face changed drastically when he saw the rain of arrows.

“Master, save me!” At this moment, Luo Xinghong, who was at the end of his rope, was caught in a hail of arrows. He urged his magical artifact to deflect the arrows repeatedly, but the Yanhuo Liefeng Arrows were like countless firebirds, inexhaustible and their power immeasurable, far beyond what he could withstand. Seeing Xingyan Lao Gui, he couldn't help but let out a roar filled with near-despair.

Starrock Monster roared, and he no longer cared about Lu Xia Tian. With both palms pushing forward, starlight coalesced into dozens of round wheels, shooting towards the rain of arrows.

As the round disc rotated, it sent out circles of ripples that shattered the arrows flying toward them. This gave Meng Xingzhou, Xingwu, Luo Xinghong and the other four a precious moment to react. it would easily attract the attention of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, or even those at the peak of Qi Refining. This would be extremely detrimental to his future ventures into the Wàngyuè Moun...
