Chapter 296 Undercurrents, the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul
After dealing with Xiangyu, Ao Zixing's dragon-slaying sword returned to its original form, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his heroic face.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Ao Zixing raised his dragon claws to Zhang Wei and said gratefully: "When Xiangyu was young, he relied on his ice dragon elephant bloodline to make enemies with us. I don't know how many times we have fought in the past two thousand years, but unfortunately I lost more than I won in fighting with him. Now I have eliminated him in this secret realm, which can be regarded as a good killing of his prestige and a vent for me!"
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "No need to thank me. In fact, with Fellow Daoist Ao's means, although Xiangyu can be violent for a while, he is definitely not your opponent. We are just icing on the cake."
"Hey, if it weren't for your help, even if I defeated Xiangyu, I would be seriously injured. How can I still participate in the next competition? So it's all thanks to you." Ao Zixing said so, but he did not deny that he had the ability to deal with Xiangyu.
As he said, he lost more than he won against Xiangyu before, but for this demon feast, he also prepared a lot, in order to defeat those former opponents at the demon feast, so as to make a splash and enter the sight of those demon kings and demon saints.
Dragon Vein Transformation Array and Dragon Slash Transformation Blade are two spells that he has been practicing quietly for these years.
If Xiangyu still looks at Ao Zixing with the eyes of Wuxia Amon, he will definitely be beaten very badly by Ao Zixing.
At this time, Zhang Wei asked: "By the way, Daoist Ao, how did you get into conflict with Xiangyu? And Daoist Ao Ziyi? Isn't he with you?"
As he said, Zhang Wei looked at Huaizhu.
Huaizhu shook his head.
Indicated that he had just arrived not long ago and didn't know the specific situation.
It was only when he saw Ao Zixing being besieged by five ice-armored giant elephants that he took action to help him lead away some of the enemies.
Ao Zixing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Daoists, please follow me. You will know everything when you get there."
As he said that, Ao Zixing flicked his dragon tail and led the way.
Zhang Wei and the other two immediately followed.
The speed of the four Nascent Souls was naturally not slow. They soon penetrated more than 5,000 miles in the ice fog and came to the depths of the dangerous ice fog.
A frozen ice lake.
The ice lake is not big, only a few dozen miles in radius.
Compared to other mountains that stretch for tens of millions of miles and peaks that are thousands of feet high, this ice lake can only be said to be ordinary.
But in this ice lake, Zhang Wei and others felt a rich spiritual energy, which was not inferior to the fifth-level spiritual vein at all!
Not only that, when Zhang Wei and others fell to the surface of the ice lake, they vaguely saw a deep blue color under the ice layer, like the heart of a god, releasing a hazy blue light with every breath, adding a sense of wonder to this ice lake.
Zhang Wei asked in surprise: "This is..."
"Zi Yi is down there."
Ao Zixing explained: "This is a trial place left by our ancestors of the Bi Bo Shui Mansion for us, the unworthy descendants. Zi Yi just passed the test and is now receiving inheritance down there. I am protecting him outside.
Unexpectedly, those guys from Xiang Yu also came here. I don't know if it was premeditated or just a coincidence. In order to prevent them from disturbing Zi Yi, I led them to the periphery of this dangerous ice fog area.
If it weren't for the appearance of Daoist Fellow Huai Zhu to help me take on some of the opponents, otherwise, even with my monstrous magical powers, I would not be able to stop the siege of Xiang Yu and his five ice-armored giant elephants."
When he said this, Ao Zixing nodded gratefully to Huai Zhu.
Huai Zhu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"So that's how it is..." Zhang Wei said, "In that case, let's protect Fellow Daoist Ao for the next period of time, and we'll act together after he comes out of retreat. It just so happens that we've also experienced a big battle and need to rest."
Ao Zixing said immediately, "That's exactly what I meant."
...
"Damn it!!!!!!!"
In the rest area prepared for the eliminated Yuanying Great Demon King in the Fuxing Hall, Xiangyu was roaring angrily.
And on the side, two Jindan Realm Demon Kings were carefully applying medicine to his injured eye.
For the Yuanying Great Demon King, physical damage is not an incurable disease. As long as the origin is not damaged, disabilities such as broken arms and legs can be cured.
But being cured does not mean that it will not hurt.
Especially since Zhang Wei used the Golden Crow's Sun Essence Fire to injure Xiang Yu's eyes, the remaining Golden Crow Essence Fire was still in the eyes, which was a very sensitive position. So when the two Golden Core Realm demon kings applied the medicine, if they used a little more force in their hands, they would be scolded and beaten by Xiang Yu.
However, these two Golden Core Demon Kings, who could be served by countless demon beasts in the outside world, did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Xiang Yu, the big demon king. Instead, they had to smile and comfort him in a soft voice. After applying the medicine to Xiang Yu, they immediately left, fearing that Xiang Yu would continue to vent his anger on them.
"Hmph!"
Xiang Yu angrily threw the wine bottle beside him onto the wall, and then cursed at Xiang Bei and other elephant demons who were looking unhappy around him.
"You bunch of trash! How did you lose so quickly?! You caused me to be eliminated early, and I didn't even get the top 100. I lost so much face in front of my grandparents!
Especially you Xiangbei! The majestic Ice Demon Giant Elephant in the middle stage of Yuanying, with three early stages of Yuanying, could not even capture a human female, and was single-handedly suppressed and beaten. It really disgraced the face of my Ice Demon Water Mansion!
If you could have been more angry, why would I have been bullied by those bastards like Ao Zixing and missed the opportunity to study in Longting! "
Xiangyu is very angry now.
As an Ice Demon Dragon Xiang in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he also transformed into a Yuan Shen in advance. Xiangyu can be said to be very proud. He was also given high hopes by his two parents, but now he is not even among the top 100. After being eliminated, being blinded, and finally being tricked by Zhang Wei, it was strange that Xiangyu was in a good mood due to the news about the Pure Bamboo Leaf.
Although he knew in the end that Ao Zi was not easy to mess with, and if the fight continued, he would most likely be the loser once the opponent's trump card came out, but Xiang Yu still couldn't swallow this breath.
So he vented his anger on Xiang Bei and other great demon kings.
Faced with Xiangyu's scolding, the other elephant demons dared not speak out in anger.
Not to mention that Xiangyu's strength and status far surpassed them.
Not to mention that they really pulled the crotch first in this battle.
If he hadn't waited for the demon to be eliminated first, Xiangyu wouldn't have been trapped in a tight siege and ended up being defeated by Zhang Wei and others.
And just when Xiangyu was expressing his emotions to the giant ice-armored elephants, a cold snort suddenly came from outside the door.
"The majestic ice demon dragon Xiang Xiangyu vented his anger on a group of subordinates. It would be too embarrassing."
"who!"
Xiangyu, who was already in a bad mood, immediately stared at the door with a pair of red eyes after hearing this.
I saw a golden ray appeared in front of me, like a bright sun, which made the temperature of the room that was originally big enough to accommodate five ice-armored elephants rise a lot.
"It turns out it's you..."
Seeing the coming demon, Xiangyu snorted coldly. He rarely vented his anger, but slapped his ears and asked Xiangbei and the other demon kings to leave. Then the old god rolled up a wine bottle with his nose and poured wine into his mouth. Yu Ye, let out a wine burp.
Asked: "I didn't expect you to be eliminated too, who was it? The method was so impressive, and one of your wings was broken off, Jinli?"
The light of the golden sun slowly converged, revealing a giant golden bird. However, as Xiangyu said, one of its wings had been completely broken. Although the wound had been stopped, the new wings had not yet fully grown, so It seems quite funny at first glance.
It was Jin Yangniao Jinli who was eliminated by Zhang Wei and Chi Lian!
However, facing Xiu Yu's ridicule, Jin Li did not get angry. He just snorted: "Huh, it's the same one who eliminated you."
"Ao Zixing?"
Xiangyu raised his eyebrows, but after thinking about it he shook his head.
"No, it's that human race. Were you eliminated by that human race? How did you provoke him...wait, are you interested in their magic weapon made from the golden crow demon material?"
Xiangyu quickly guessed the key to the matter.
He sneered and said: "So, you wanted to rob someone because of their wealth, but they killed you, and you couldn't swallow this breath, so you just want to find me to cause trouble for the human race together?"
When his plan was pointed out, Jin Li did not lose his composure and simply admitted: "Yes, I came to you this time to cause trouble for the human race, but it was not because of dissatisfaction."
At this point, Jinli spread his wings and made an action similar to that of a human being stretching, but because the other wing was broken, this action looked a bit funny.
Then Jin Li said: "Xiangyu, we, the great demon kings, have lived for at least a thousand years since we have cultivated to where we are now. Even if most of our time is spent on cultivation, the remaining time will be enough for us." To grow up, a win or loss is not enough for us old guys to worry about.”
"In addition to further opportunities." Xiangyu added.
"Yes, there is an opportunity to go further, but that is for you." Jin Li rolled his eyes and said: "I am from the Yu clan, and I am a descendant of the Golden Crow. Although the opportunity for further study in Longting is good, it is not good for me. It’s not as helpful as you think.”
"What I really want is the magic weapon refined by the human race using the Golden Crow demon material!"
Having said this, Jin Li's eyes showed a look of fanaticism and jealousy, and he said bitterly: "You also know my situation, I have always dreamed of evolving my bloodline into a real Golden Crow.
But after working hard for so long, they still couldn't get a suitable treasure for transforming their bloodline. Now, through some bad luck, these human races have several magic weapons refined from the golden crow's demon material.
As far as I know, there is a bow, a pair of wings, and the three strange magical weapons that can release the sun's essence fire that the human male cultivator used to deal with you, so I suspect that the human group got a pure-blooded Golden Crow There is a demon corpse, and the strength of this demon corpse during its lifetime is very likely to reach the realm of god transformation! "
Xiangyu frowned, "Do you want to..."
Jin Li said excitedly: "The treasures of heaven, materials and earth are inhabited by virtuous people. As a descendant of the Golden Crow, of course I cannot just sit back and watch the Golden Crow demon corpse fall into dust in the hands of the human race. The union of the Golden Crow demon corpse should be my opportunity!"
Although they used the Golden Crow to refine many magic weapons.
But judging from the configuration of their magic weapons, there must be a lot left. If I can get these, my bloodline will take a further step. Becoming a real Golden Crow is no longer a fantasy, and I can even become the God-Transforming Demon King in one go! And this... is the real opportunity for me! "
"That's it... then I wish you good luck."
Xiangyu said calmly, without seeming to have the slightest intention of helping Jin Li.
Jinli asked: "You have no idea at all?"
Xiangyu said bluntly: "No."
Nonsense, can he get any benefits from this trip except the pleasure of revenge? Why do you want to take chestnuts out of the fire for Jinli?
Jin Li seemed to have expected it, and sneered: "How can you swallow this? You must know that you were eliminated by that guy Ao Zixing, and it seems that they have formed an alliance, with such a group of people to help , Ao Zixing has a high chance of getting into the top ten. When he goes to Longting for further studies, will he still have a good life for you when he returns? "
"Okay, Gimli!"
Xiangyu said in a cold voice: "Stop showing off in front of me. Just tell me who sent you here."
Jinli smiled slightly and spit out a name.
Lei Tong!
"It's him!"
Xiangyu's eyes widened with surprise on his face.
"I didn't expect that Lei Hong would also be eliminated by him. It's not easy for this human race to count down. However, if only one junior is eliminated, I'm afraid it won't attract the attention of the late-stage God-Transformation Demon King. There must be other reasons. "
Xiangyu thought this in his heart, but quickly shook his head.
"Forget it, what does the purpose of the God-Transforming Demon Emperor have to do with me? Even if he falls in love with that human race and treats him as a male favorite, it doesn't matter to me. I'd better think about how to get enough benefits from it."
So Xiangyu asked: "Since it is the plan of the God-Transforming Demon Emperor, I won't ask in detail. I just want to know why you are looking for me and what I can get if you ask me for help."
Jin Li said bluntly: "Of course I'm looking for you because you are powerful and have a grudge against that human race. If it weren't for being besieged by all the Nascent Souls, how could you be eliminated with your strength, fellow Taoist Xiang?"
Jinli flattered Xiangyu silently, which immediately made Xiangyu feel a lot better.
"As for what you can get..." Jinli lowered his voice at this time.
Said: "Those are the treasures in the human race's Qiankun bracelets. As far as I know, these guys have a lot of treasures to assist in overcoming the tribulation. Each of them is of great benefit to us in our attack on the gods, even if we have to compete with other participating It’s not a worthwhile trip for the great demon kings to share the benefits, not to mention that after it is completed, you will also get a promise, the promise of refining the Void Demon Saint in the future!”
"promise?"
Xiangyu frowned, his expression somewhat disapproving.
What's the use of promises?
It would be fine if it was a promise to truly refine the Void Demon Saint, but there is still a future ahead of it, and whether it will come true or not is two different things.
A promise made by a demon emperor who doesn't know whether it can achieve the goal of refining the void is not as valuable as a fifth-level elixir in Xiangyu's eyes.
Jinli also saw Xiangyu's impatience, and he explained: "Fellow Taoist Xiang, don't be dissatisfied. That person said that after this incident, he can be 70% sure of breaking through the void refining! And a refining practitioner The Void Demon Saint can recommend three great demon kings to go to Longting every ten thousand years. In this way, even if fellow Taoists are eliminated, they will still have the opportunity to go to Longting for further study!"
Hearing the news, Xiangyu's heart moved.
Apart from anything else, wasn't the reason why he targeted Ao Zixing in the secret space just to get one more point to improve his ranking, and then get the opportunity to go to Longting for further study?
I originally thought that the opportunity to go to Longting for further study would pass me by, but I didn't expect that there would be no way out, and there would be a bright future in another village.
The opportunity has come again!
Even if I can’t guarantee that it will be 100% possible, it’s still a thought!
Xiangyu was already shaken.
But he still asked: "Since this matter is so important to Lei Tong Demon Emperor, why didn't he do it himself instead of looking for us?"
Jin Li sneered and explained: "These few human beings have such magical powers at such a young age. They are definitely not from a small family. If they come to us to attack us, it will be the grudges of the juniors at most. Even if it makes a big fuss afterwards, there will also be gods behind them. Lei Tong Demon Emperor can take action to save us.
There is still room for change in this matter, but if Lei Tong Demon Emperor takes action personally, he will have to confront the forces behind these human races head-on. This situation will not be good for Lei Tong Demon Emperor. "
Xiangyu suddenly understood after hearing this.
To put it bluntly, these big demon kings were actually chess pieces pushed out by Lei Tong to test whether there was someone behind Zhang Wei and the others.
And Lei Tong is the chess player, and the chess pieces kill each other. As a chess player, he sits in the background, and no matter what, the fire will not burn directly to him.
"Doing great things but cherishing your own life is what Lei Tong will do for the rest of his life."
Xiangyu thought with disdain in his heart, and he was also full of contempt for Lei Tong, the god-turned-demon king.
But he had also been persuaded by Jin Li and agreed to embark on this journey!
He is not afraid that Lei Tong will treat him as an abandoned son.
After all, he also has the background. The worst he can do is bring out his two ancestors of the gods to see who is riding the tiger!
…
Just when the outside world was compiling a large net against Zhang Wei and others, Zhang Wei and others also stayed around the ice lake in the secret space for more than a month.
During this period, I also met some other great demon kings who also came here to seek opportunities.
But when he saw the lineup of Zhang Wei and others, he ran very fast without waiting for Zhang Wei and others to take action, for fear that it would become points and help others.
As for these daredevils, Zhang Wei and the others did not go out to chase them, but stayed around the ice lake to protect Ao Ziyi.
On top of one of the dead trees, Zhang Wei was sitting under the dead tree, closing his eyes and meditating.
Suddenly, a burst of mana burst out of his body uncontrollably, turning into a spiritual wind that swept across a hundred feet in radius.
Then, Zhang Wei opened his eyes, and a faint five-colored lightning flashed in his eyes. A unique Dao rhythm that belonged to him was hidden, but it was enough to make the Yuanying cultivator lose his mind.
Zhang Wei exhaled a breath of fresh air and looked at his hands.
"The middle stage of the Yuanying..."
