Chapter 173 Killing the Nascent Soul Monk

Seeing this scene, a ferocious look flashed across the old man surnamed Mu's face. He said no more and just raised his right hand slightly.

He raised the fist-sized gem to the sky, then opened his mouth again and a ball of essence sprayed directly onto the surface of the bead.

The orb emitted a dazzling blue light, spinning rapidly like a violent storm.

Then, a strong blue energy wave burst out from the inside of the plump gem, like thousands of blue silver snakes winding out, evolving into a huge blue electric grid that covered the entire light curtain.

At the same time, the elderly man kept chanting spells in a low voice. After he formed a seal with his hands, the mysterious blue light burst out from his body and rushed straight into the blue sky.

Finally, it condensed into an extremely large blue ball of light, hanging above the old man's head, floating unsteadily.

The emerald green vines rolled as quickly as lightning, and after a moment, they had tightly wrapped around the blue ball of light.

With a loud "bang", sharp evil-repelling thunder gushed out from the vines, easily destroying the blue ball of light.

"How could this be?"

The old man opened his eyes wide, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

He snorted coldly, then reached out to the storage bag on his waist and gently patted it, and a mysterious item immediately appeared in his hand.

This object was completely black and turned out to be a small and exquisite mini mountain.

Before Chen Yun had time to take a closer look at the object, the old man had already started chanting the spell.

Then, he threw the hill upwards. Suddenly, black light began to flow on the surface of the mountain. Its volume expanded rapidly. In a blink of an eye, it became dozens of feet high and was still expanding.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Yun frowned slightly, and he pointed his finger at the golden spirit sword.

It let out a clear cry and turned into a brilliant golden rainbow, flying straight to the top of the hill and slashing down fiercely, hitting the top of the hill.

With a loud "boom", rocks flew everywhere, light spread everywhere, and golden and black light intertwined, stirring endlessly.

On the top of the black mountain, he cut a gap of seven or eight feet long and ten feet deep with his sword. However, it was obviously far from enough to split the entire mountain in half.

However, as he saw with his own eyes, the gap was healing at an astonishing speed, and it had recovered nearly halfway even before he was ready to launch a second attack.

At this moment, the mountain had expanded to over a hundred feet high in the black light, almost indistinguishable from a real mountain.

The old man sneered, then pointed his finger lightly at the mountain.

The mountain peak "whooshed" and suddenly appeared above Chen Yun's head the next moment, then smashed down mercilessly.

"Thousand Peaks!"

Chen Yun snorted coldly. He was of course aware of the power of this rare treasure, so he stretched out his right hand, and an emerald green pagoda of longevity appeared in front of him.

The Pagoda of Longevity flew out of his hand, grew faster in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it had become as big as the Thousand-Layered Peak.

When the Changsheng Pagoda and Qianchong Peak were about to collide, Chen Yun did not stop. His body trembled slightly, and the shadow of Lei Chi immediately appeared behind him.

"call out!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Chen Yun's figure instantly disappeared from the original place.

His face changed drastically, and he instantly retreated again, putting some distance between himself and Chen Yun, looking very cautious.

The old man stared at Chen Yun, his eyes full of shock.

At this moment, the old man named Mu finally realized one thing, that the other party was not just an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator.

With such a powerful ability of teleportation, he had no way of keeping the other party. It seemed that he would most likely have to turn back this time.

Not only that, the pagoda he used was unusually powerful, making it almost impossible to win in a short period of time.

Due to his profound skills, he could only use this magical power that could drive the huge black peak to move instantly a few times.

Every time he uses this magical power, he will consume a large amount of mana, so he cannot use it frequently.

Just as the electric arc bounced, Chen Yun suddenly appeared there.

The old man was startled and was about to make a move to stop him, but Chen Yun's arm had already stretched out, holding a palm covered with dry blue ice flames. His five fingers quickly tightened and penetrated into the old man's body like lightning.

The old man was terrified, but there was an ice shield floating around him, which automatically protected its owner as if it had life. A white light flashed across the space and blocked the old man. Chen Yun's palm hit the ice shield without any hindrance.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Mu showed a relieved smile on his face. It turned out that the opponent actually attacked his "Crystal Ice Shield" with his bare hands. Doing so is undoubtedly seeking death. It is expected that in the next moment, the opponent's arm will be frozen into powder by the extreme cold.

Only a dull sound was heard, and white and blue lights bloomed at the same time.

The old man was stunned for a moment, his vision was blurry and his chest felt cold. A palm covered with blue flames touched his chest like a ghost, and the movement was extremely gentle.

The old man was so surprised that before he could even shout, he heard a "click" sound.

The strange blue ice spread outward from Chen Yun's five fingers. In an instant, most of his body was covered by this strange ice, and he was about to be frozen in it.

The old man's face was filled with fear. He had no choice but to mobilize the Danyang Fire that he had cultivated for hundreds of years, causing the only part of his head that was intact to immediately release a dazzling white light.

A line of defense was formed at the neck, blocking the spread of the ice and temporarily causing a stalemate with the blue ice.

When Chen Yun saw this scene, he just sneered and waved his other idle hand violently.

A green sword energy appeared out of nowhere and slashed the old man's head fiercely.

Suddenly, the white light shook violently, and the blue ice gained the upper hand, occupying half of the head in an instant, freezing the old man's mouth and nose.

When the old man surnamed Mu saw this scene, only half of his face showed despair, but then a fierce look flashed in his eyes and a clear buzzing sound sounded above his head.

With a "puff", a Nascent Soul that looked exactly like the old man appeared above his head.

Chen Yun's face turned gloomy, and he opened his mouth without hesitation, and a golden arc slashed violently towards the Nascent Soul.

However, as soon as the old man's Nascent Soul left his body, it disappeared without any pause, leaving a blinding blue light, and the golden arc suddenly disappeared.

Just as Chen Yun was concentrating on searching around, the Nascent Soul finally appeared a hundred feet away, and then it disappeared again with a blue light without any hesitation.

This time, the blue orb that was originally motionless also disappeared after a tremor. When it reappeared, it was already tightly held in the arms of the old man's Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul glanced at Chen Yun with an extremely resentful look, and without saying a word, it began to flicker, and soon turned into a dot of light and flew into the distant sky.

Chen Yun watched indifferently as the other party's Nascent Soul fled from here. He did not choose to give up. Instead, he flapped his wings and flew high, and his body disappeared again at the same place.

Just as the figure of the immortal cultivator Chen Yun appeared here, he had already quietly appeared in front of the old man's Nascent Soul. "Boom!"

Accompanied by sharp and piercing thunder, golden lightning instantly spread out like a violent beast, completely destroying the old man's Nascent Soul.

Then, Chen Yun flicked his sleeves, and the pure blue gem and the light silver storage bag appeared in his arms.

Then, his spiritual sense sank into it without hesitation and took a rough look.

However, Chen Yun felt quite disappointed!
Apart from a dozen or so medium-quality spirit stones, the rest of the items in the storage bag were some common refining materials and a few bottles of pills.

But when he opened the medicine bottles to check, he found that they contained only some ordinary pills and there was nothing special about them.

From this we can see that the Mulan Grassland is indeed a place where resources for cultivating immortals are extremely scarce. Even a Taoist priest in the Nascent Soul stage does not have many precious things on him.

As for the jade slip items he was most looking forward to, there was not a single one in his storage bag.

This made Chen Yun sigh helplessly in addition to being confused.

Originally, he had hoped to obtain some spiritual secrets so that he could find out how to cast powerful spells instantly. But now it seems that this wish may not be realized in the short term!

So Chen Yun casually put the storage bag into his pocket and looked up at the huge peak in the distance.

The black mountain still retained its original shape, with a flickering light on its surface.

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and waved gently towards the treasure. The ancient treasure that had lost its owner suddenly glowed with light, quickly shrank to the size of a palm, and rushed straight towards Chen Yun.

By the time it fell into Chen Yun's hands, it had recovered into a mini hill.

Chen Yun held up the hill and weighed it curiously a few times, feeling that the weight was just right. Then he held the ancient treasure in one hand and observed it repeatedly several times. Finally, he found three small light golden characters at the bottom of the black hill.

"Thousand Peaks"

Chen Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

After properly storing the mountain, Chen Yun glanced at the Wind-Controlling Car again and put it in his pocket as well.

After a little thought, Chen Yun changed his direction and broke through the air to one side.

Not long after, Chen Yun's figure disappeared from the nearby sky without a trace, and his trace could never be found again.

Three days later, at a place where hills met on the Mulan grassland, there was no living creature except for lush weeds, and it was unusually quiet.

However, not long after, a golden light flashed across the sky, and a green rainbow rushed over from afar.

In the blink of an eye, a golden rainbow landed on the hill. After spinning once, the light faded and Chen Yun appeared in mid-air.

He glanced down, frowned slightly, and suddenly waved his sleeves. Several green rays shot out from his fingertips and shot towards the hills below like meteors.

When the golden light approached the surface of the hill about twenty or thirty feet away, it suddenly exploded, and a layer of pale white light curtain as thin as a cicada's wing quietly emerged.

In the light curtain, four people looked up with smiles on their faces. They were Nanlong Hou, the old man in white, the old woman and the dark-complexioned man.

"It is a blessing that Fellow Daoist Chen arrived safely!"

Nanlong Hou stroked his beard and laughed. Then he waved his hand and the light curtain disappeared instantly.

"The rest of the fellow Taoists haven't arrived yet?"

Chen Yun responded with a smile and slowly landed in front of everyone.

"Other Daoists may not be able to escape so easily. When we separated and evacuated, Daoist Wang and Daoist You were followed closely by the magic warriors. It is not easy to escape from their pursuit."

The dark-skinned man shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"However, Fellow Daoist Chen surprised me even more. From what I saw, the person that the Mulan people were chasing with the windmill seemed to be you. The windmill was incredibly fast, but you were able to escape easily, which shows that you made the right choice this time."

Nanlong Hou said with a happy face.

When Chen Yun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he vaguely realized that the other party had some doubts about him.

"Mr. Chen is quite confident about this." Chen Yun replied calmly.

Seeing that Chen Yun was unwilling to elaborate on how he escaped, Nanlong Hou stopped asking questions and instead discussed the impact of the Mulan people's actions on the Nine-Nation Alliance and the entire Tiannan region.

In addition to the old man in white, an old woman and a man with a black face also joined the discussion.

"Looking back at the last battle with the magicians, it lasted for more than ten years. I don't know how long this time will last. During this period, the good and evil sects of Tiannan and the Tiandao League where Brother Chen is will definitely send people to participate in the battle. In view of the status of Luoyun Sect in the Tiandao League, they will definitely request a Yuanying stage elder for support. Perhaps, Brother Chen still has a chance to set foot on the Mulan Grassland again."

Nanlong Hou said with a smile.

"In fact, in addition to the three major forces, there are many independent cultivators who are willing to resist the magicians, and there are many masters among them. It may be difficult for the Mulan people to gain an advantage."

The old woman nodded slightly and added in a low voice.

"But what confuses me is that if the Mulan tribe knew that the Tiannan tribes had united, they might not have a chance of winning, but they still dared to provoke me. Why?"

The black-faced man asked doubtfully.

Nanlong Hou pondered for a moment and said in a speculative tone: "It is not impossible."

As the discussion deepened, time passed quietly.

At this time, Nanlong Hou stopped talking, looked up and looked into the distance, and the others also looked over with a slightly solemn expression. After all, this was the Mulan Grassland, where scattered monks and passing mages might appear.

I saw a flash of light in the distant sky, and a beam of black light rushed towards this place.

After observing for a while, Nan Longhou regained his composure and said with a smile, "It's OK. It's Fellow Daoist Wang."

Hearing this, everyone's tension eased a little.

After a moment, the beam of light gradually approached, and it turned out that Wang Tiangu had arrived.

Without further ado, Nanlong Hou immediately removed the ban in the air, and Wang Tiangu landed on the hill where Chen Yun and others were.

"I am really surprised that Fellow Daoist Chen arrived before us!"

Wang Tiangu was surprised to see Chen Yun there. It was obvious that he had also witnessed the wind-powered car chasing Chen Yun, and perhaps he was secretly delighted. (End of this chapter)
