Chapter 1 The Collision

Bang!

The collision of powerful forces produced tremendous shock waves, and with a series of sonic booms, the surrounding天地 (tiandi, heaven and earth) energy seemed to be violently ignited.

"It's out of control!"

"The domain force field of the two collisions, one side has lost control, resulting in a large-scale leakage of power, which seems to have caused a greater momentum effect, but in fact, the threat to the other side has been greatly reduced." Ye Chuxiao watched the battle from the edge, making an accurate judgment, and at the same time using this energy impact to hide his power transmission, repairing some of the small cracks and flaws that appeared in the formation during this impact.

Liu Jinlong Tan Gongjia was falling, and in the process of falling, he put away the dragon body and turned into a human form.

From a distance, he seemed to be just an ordinary thin old man, far less shocking and domineering than when he transformed into a dragon body.

After reverting to human form, Tan Gongjia began to continuously split into phantoms, with different phantom bodies moving in different directions, and some actively launching attacks on the red-armored broadsword person.

This behavior was clearly intended to escape.

For Tan Gongjia, it was extremely unfavorable to continue fighting to the death in his current state.

And at this moment.

The red-armored broadsword person waved hundreds of condensed and unscattered sword shadows in a row.

After these sword shadows flew out, each one transformed into a real flying sword, full of spirituality.

The sword shadows chased after all the phantoms, not letting go of any shadow.

Until Tan Gongjia's real location was locked again, the red-armored broadsword person rushed over and enveloped him with his own artistic conception domain.

Tan Gongjia pressed a piece of ice stone to the wound that was constantly oozing black blood.

This ice stone seemed extremely mysterious, temporarily freezing the wound and the toxins spreading along the blood vessels at the wound.

Then, he punched out, and a dragon shadow broke through the air along his fist, shaking the surroundings.

This punch was extremely powerful.

And even more amazing was the energy traction effect it formed.

"Tan Gongjia deliberately created a commotion, wanting to attract people over, so as to find a chance to break through."

"Now although he has taken a little gap to temporarily deal with the wound, it is only a temporary solution. If he fights for a long time, he will still be in trouble." Ye Chuxiao watched the fire from the other side, watching some of the details very carefully and analyzing them very thoroughly.

As expected, although this punch temporarily repelled the red-armored broadsword person, it made him even more manic, and the attack became more fierce.

"Red Armor, State War Sword, one of the Eight Pillars of the Chu Kingdom, which one are you?" Tan Gongjia loudly questioned the red-armored broadsword person.

But he did not receive an answer.

"As expected, the Chu Kingdom's high-level officials set up a trap for Tan Gongjia. Tan Gongjia controls the water veins within the Chu Kingdom, which is undoubtedly a country within a country. The Chu Kingdom's high-level officials will definitely not tolerate it."

"Now that Tan Gongjia is old and declining, he may have already begun to arrange his affairs, protecting his descendants to take over and perfectly take over."

"At this time, if Tan Gongjia accidentally dies, all kinds of water-based cultivators in the Chu Kingdom will inevitably fall into internal strife, and the high-level officials of the Chu Kingdom will be able to take back the power and avoid the appearance of a country within a country again." Ye Chuxiao analyzed the answer based on Tan Gongjia's words.

There is nothing new under the sun.

The so-called struggle, stripped of those fancy coats, is not complicated to deduce from the purpose and results.

Tan Gongjia did not receive an answer, and what greeted him was still the broadsword with unimaginable power.

This seemingly unremarkable broadsword carries a strong gravity and belongs to one of the Chu Kingdom's town-protecting artifacts.

Anyone who is hit by it, even if Tan Gongjia also belongs to the artistic conception, will be seriously injured if not dead.

The red-armored broadsword person stepped forward in an instant, pulling out several afterimages with a sideways movement.

The real body had already rushed to the right side of Tan Gongjia, and slashed horizontally with a sword.

In an instant, from a visual point of view, this sword seemed to cut through the space, tearing the air and energy, as if even time was stagnant.

Faced with such a sharp attack, anyone would choose to retreat temporarily.

However, Tan Gongjia seemed to have expected that the more he avoided, the more difficult it would be to turn over, so he shook the white-patterned golden robe on his body, and one leg turned into a dragon tail, fiercely sweeping towards the red-armored broadsword person.

The sword collided with the dragon tail.

Although no sound came out, through the observation of the line of sight, Ye Chuxiao seemed to be able to hear the harsh friction sound.

This is obviously a visual infection of the artistic conception.

In the process of watching the battle, Ye Chuxiao was unknowingly brought into the atmosphere of the battle between the two.

If Ye Chuxiao had not already entered the Hui Realm and found his 'self'.

Watching the battle like this, sooner or later he would become too involved, lose himself, and thus die of heart failure in a certain collision because of mental exhaustion.

The battle of the strong is not so good-looking.

Watching it for a long time, even if you do not suffer the damage caused by the aftermath, you will also be affected by the invasion of the artistic conception.

Layers of air waves spread around.

The sea below began to collapse downward, and a huge sinkhole appeared.

In the sinkhole, there was a wave of waves that seemed smooth, but in fact were full of undercurrents.

Like glass shattering, the battle between the two instantly seemed to have moved from one dimension to another.

Even the painting style seemed to have changed.

They entangled and fell into the seemingly boiling sea.

Ye Chuxiao could not see the battle under the sea.

He could only see the waves sometimes surging and rushing endlessly, and sometimes the entire sea seemed to be frozen, losing its vitality.

Repeatedly like this.

Until about ten minutes later, the sea exploded, and a whole layer of seawater rose into the air.

A blank space was separated between the two layers of seawater.

And the two who were fighting were making more intense entanglements.

They were completely close to each other, in a state where they could destroy each other's bodies at any time.

The broadsword picked up, but it was like a door panel, hitting Tan Gongjia.

This seemed to abandon the sharpness of the sword, but in fact it maximized the gravitational attribute of the broadsword itself.

Tan Gongjia turned his hands into dragon claws, firmly grasping the broadsword, even if the scales flew off and kept bleeding, he grabbed the broadsword and slid downward.

The body also moved with it, and a claw reached towards the heart of the red-armored broadsword person.

The red armor on the red-armored broadsword person burst into light, but it was still caught with a deep wound.

Faint blood oozed out.

And the price Tan Gongjia paid for this strong attack was that half of his arm was almost completely destroyed.

Abandoning both claws as the main attack.

Tan Gongjia alternately turned his legs into dragon tails and whipped them.

The rapid and swift alternating legs kept sweeping towards the red-armored broadsword person, each strike heavier than the last, and each time faster than the last. Under such attacks, the originally tall and burly figure of the red-armored broadsword person was set off like a flat boat in a storm, as if it could be overturned at any time.

"Crack!"

A loud cracking sound came.

Ye Chuxiao widened his eyes and stared intently.

He wanted to see clearly whether Tan Gongjia's leg was broken, or the town-protecting broadsword was broken.

Then, Ye Chuxiao saw that a cliff on the seaside broke in the middle, and then slammed into the sea, setting off huge waves.

Such a change startled Ye Chuxiao and made him sweat.

Because the broken cliff was not far from where he was hiding.

Naturally, the formation that Ye Chuxiao had laid out in advance with the mountains and seas as the background also had several huge loopholes.

Although there were still interlocking formations to supplement it, the appearance of loopholes still could not be truly compensated.

Bang!

Sharp water columns rose from the sea under his feet, and the seawater hanging in the air above his head also stabbed out water swords.

From head to toe, all the water was targeting the red-armored broadsword person.

He was in an extremely unfavorable situation.

"Who gave you the confidence to ambush me in this place full of water vapor?" Tan Gongjia sternly questioned, his broken arm was growing and reshaping rapidly, and the trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth made him seem to be betting fiercely.

Bang!

In an instant, the floating seawater and the seawater under his feet collided at the same time.

The sharp water columns intersected and overlapped like dog teeth, and even chewed.

In the kneading of the seawater, the mask on the face of the red-armored broadsword person finally cracked.

It revealed a face with three knife scars, which seemed to be a middle-aged man, around forty or fifty years old.

"So it's you, Jinghai Marquis Lin Lan." Tan Gongjia recognized this person, but he gritted his teeth even more.

It seemed that there was still friendship between them.

Not completely strangers.

Jinghai Marquis Lin Lan held the sword in both hands, and the red armor shook open a completely defensive spherical energy force field, floating in the sea water's upward and downward flushing and squeezing.

Then, Lin Lan, who seemed not to have suffered much damage, spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, and his face turned pale.

"Tan Gongjia! What you control now is the sea, not rivers and lakes. You have destroyed your foundation. My goal has been half achieved." Lin Lan said.

"You have entered the sea and used the power of the sea. You are no longer the dragon of rivers and inland lakes, but the sea dragon. According to the human-dragon agreement, you can no longer set foot on the inland." Lin Lan continued.

Between the two sentences, Tan Gongjia was greatly broken, and at the same time, the injury that had been pressed down recurred again, and it became more and more serious.

"Both are injured!"

"And the injuries are not light. With the ability of artistic conception cultivators, they can no longer control their own injuries from being revealed, which can only mean that they have seriously injured each other's foundations in the process of mutual collision." Ye Chuxiao thought of this, and his heart beat faster.

The impulse to sit back and reap the benefits emerged in his heart again, and it became more and more obvious.

Once greed arises, it is difficult to clean up.

Ye Chuxiao does have some bottom lines.

So he never wantonly hunts cultivators as 'props' for cultivating and ascending the tower.

But this bottom line can be very flexible.

For example, when two seriously injured artistic conception cultivators are placed in front of him, those so-called 'self-imposed restrictions' are no longer important.

"Calm down! Calm down! It's all the fault of the Heart Pill. I can't be careless, let alone drift."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse!"

"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!" Ye Chuxiao warned himself in his heart.

But at the same time, a sense of urgency also welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Because of the butterfly effect he caused, the battle between Tan Gongjia and Lin Lan was obviously more intense than originally.

This also meant that their battle would inevitably attract more cultivators.

If there were other cultivators of the same level, or even a higher level, with the same purpose of sitting back and reaping the benefits.

The later Ye Chuxiao acted, the more slim the chance.

Hoo!

Inhale!

Hoo!

Inhale!

Ye Chuxiao adjusted his mentality and stabilized his overflowing emotions.

Leaving Daheng, the Heart Pill that Ye Chuxiao carried was no longer Ying Shu's eyes and ears.

But similarly, all the negative emotional effects formed by the Heart Pill should be borne and digested by Ye Chuxiao alone.

Faced with temptation, Ye Chuxiao's state of mind and resistance ability will continue to weaken with the fluctuations of his emotions.

On the other side, the two sides in the battle also knew that if this battle continued to be delayed, they would fall into a more complicated situation.

Among them, it was obvious that Lin Lan was more anxious.

Therefore, he repeatedly used life-threatening techniques, fighting Tan Gongjia closely, intending to drag Tan Gongjia into the quagmire of depleting blood bars.

Tan Gongjia's state was ultimately much worse.

If he entered a state of mutual blood consumption, Tan Gongjia was bound to be unable to withstand it.

The battle became more and more stalemate, and more and more tragic.

Air waves, sea rolls, blood spills, and the ever-changing thrilling methods, and the stimulation of close combat, were constantly refreshing Ye Chuxiao's vision.

In the battles of low- and mid-end cultivators, preserving one's own integrity and being unscathed, and using technology to harm the opponent as much as possible, is the general principle.

Even Ye Chuxiao, who possessed the Nine Deaths Magic Art, rarely violated this theory.

Because the Nine Deaths Magic Art is a trump card, and it is easy to be targeted if it is easily exposed.

The biggest flaw is that he is afraid of being blocked from energy absorption.

Once there is not enough energy to replenish, then the Nine Deaths Magic Art is also an empty shelf.

But at the artistic conception level, what is calculated is no longer how to avoid the opponent's attack, but how to bear, digest, and transform it at the smallest cost, and then calculate the opponent's endurance, as well as transformation and consumption ability, to carry out the greatest degree of damage output.

In the final analysis, it is a process of mutual consumption of both sides' will, flesh and blood, and domain.

Bang!

Another impact.

Tan Gongjia finally couldn't hold on.

He was once again forced to reveal his dragon body.

Golden blood was constantly overflowing from the huge dragon mouth.

These bloods condensed together are the precious dragon mouth gold, which can be used to make the main material of artifacts.

Of course, now Ye Chuxiao is no longer just concerned about this.

Tan Gongjia's defeat seemed to be about to put an end to this battle.

Everything was returning to the answer it should have been.

Lin Lan, whose red armor was broken, stabbed the broadsword in his hand fiercely into the heart of the giant dragon.

The old dragon's mournful scream seemed to shock the surrounding sea, and it was boiling together.

Suddenly, the old dragon locked Lin Lan firmly.

It coiled up like a giant python, and golden light flashed all over his body.

The dazzling light was shining between the heaven and the earth, as if it was about to evaporate the sea.

The restrained Lin Lan was also struggling, but this old dragon seemed determined to perish with him.

"Is the time ripe?"

"Is it?" Ye Chuxiao was still hesitating.

His hesitation was that he still couldn't see the opportunity.

If he made a move too early, he might still fall into the joint attack of two artistic conception powerhouses.

Even if they were seriously injured, the counterattack before dying should not be underestimated.

"I don't care! I'll bet!" Ye Chuxiao put his hands together and finally made a move.

In an instant, the mountains and the sea shook at the same time.

Although it was already broken, the great formation, which was still full of power, was completely activated.
