Chapter 257: Killing the Wood Spirit, Incident on Shenglin Island
In the sea, the aura of five demon cultivators was eerie.

The fragments of their bodies gathered together again, and although they were pieced together into a human form, they were not seamless, and a large amount of sea water flowed out through the gaps.

The old man was in front and the demon corpse was behind. Although it was not clear who the old man was and what means he used to control the demon corpse, this person had already controlled the demon corpse to surround them and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.

"To thank you for helping me kill them, let me repay you in the same way."

Mu Ling's low voice sounded again, lingering in the ears of several people on the Sky-Splitting Shuttle, like a murderous demonic voice.

Chen An finally understood what was going on. This old guy coveted the corpses of the five demon cultivators and probably wanted to kill them a long time ago.

Perhaps he was afraid of the five people joining forces, so he did not act rashly. This time, he used the hands of these few people and finally killed them as he wished and obtained their bodies.

“What…what should we do? This old man has reached the Perfection of Void Refining. His strength is not comparable to those people before him, not to mention he has the help of the demon corpse.”

Pei Zitian looked at the five demon corpses standing in a row, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

It’s okay if they fight alone, but if the other party attacks them together, they will probably be defeated.

Hearing this, Zhao Lingyun frowned and looked at Chen An: "Can you use that method again?"

Chen An nodded and said, "Yes, but my Five Elements Sword Intentions can only increase the power of the sword formation by 10% or 20% at most. The strength of the opponent in front of me can increase it by more than that."

While they were talking, several people had already started fighting with five demon corpses.

Compared with the previous battle, it was found that the demon corpse's strength was not as good as in its heyday, but it also retained about 70% to 80%.

It seems that the strength of the two sides is not too different, but after the previous wave of consumption, everyone's mana is only half left. In this spiritual place, they can only swallow pills to replenish mana, and the recovery efficiency is greatly reduced.

The control of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by the cultivators of the Lianxu realm is even better than that of the Huashen realm. As long as they survive, their magic power will generally not be exhausted.

But it is different in the Land of Absolute Spirits. There is no endless supply of spiritual energy for them to control and absorb, and they can only recover by relying on elixirs.

"Hold on for now and see if you can find a chance to escape."

Five demon corpses were enough to deal with the group, not to mention there was also a cultivator who had reached the perfection of the Void Refinement Realm watching them covetously.

The best plan now is to find an opportunity to escape before the old man makes a move.

Mu Ling glanced at the fight between the two sides and frowned, saying, "They actually have some strength. This is a place where no spirits exist. The fight should not be dragged on for too long."

He controlled five demon corpses by himself, and the speed at which he consumed his magic power was not slow, it was almost consumed at a burning speed.

If it were in other places, this would not be a disadvantage. There is plenty of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which can be replenished almost endlessly.

But this is the Bloody Sea, and it is not easy to replenish magic power. In this situation, the only way is to fight quickly and decisively.

"Huh? Want to run?"

Seeing the few people making small movements constantly, the experienced Mu Ling easily detected their little thoughts.

"This flying mysterious device is quite good and will be of great use to me!"

With this treasure in hand, Mu Ling's speed could probably be two or three points faster, which would be of great help whether he was killing people or escaping.

He smiled lightly, made some hand gestures, and tapped lightly a few times at the sea behind the Sky-Splitting Shuttle.

Then, I saw the sea water rolling in the distance, and faintly a green branch emerged from the sea.

"That's. A tree?!"

The people on the Sky-Splitting Shuttle were greatly surprised to see a giant tree rising slowly from the sea, as if a magic power was being exerted on the heavens and the earth.

The most surprising thing is that this tree has all four limbs intact, and in terms of shape, it is no different from an ordinary cultivator.

"boom!"

While several people on the Sky-Splitting Shuttle were dealing with the demon corpse, the tree man punched down, and the Five Elements Sword Shadow shook a few times, and the sword light dimmed a little, but overall it was not a big problem.

The five demon corpses also took advantage of this opportunity and pounced on them frantically, causing the sword shadow to become slightly unstable and the pressure on the few people almost reached its peak.

Zhao Lingyun looked ashen: "Run if you can, as many as you can."

Faced with the bombardment of the powerful tree people and the attacks from the demon corpses, they could not hold on for long and looked despairing.

Chen An cheered up and shouted, "Don't rush to say discouraging words. You guys focus on dealing with the demon corpse first. I will delay the tree man for a while. I will take this opportunity to strangle a demon corpse to break the balance. Only then will we have a chance to survive."

"Can you do it alone?" Situ Yanran asked with a worried look.

"It shouldn't be a problem to delay for a while."

After saying that, Chen An took out the Wanying Bracelet and threw it out.

The next moment, dark shadows emerged from the sky, forming a dark mass, leaving a huge shadow on the sea.

He had rarely used the Ten Thousand Shadows Bracelet, and the black shadows inside were almost not consumed, making it the best choice to delay the giant tree.

Then the Canglong Sword and the Netherworld Sword flew out from his body, went straight into the seabed, and slashed towards the alien dragon corpse.

With two sword swishing sounds, the demon corpse was split into four parts. Before the few people could be happy, the four parts of the demon corpse gathered together again and merged into a complete demon corpse.

"It seems that we have to catch the leader first!"

Chen An controlled two swords and headed straight for the old demon cultivator in the distance, aiming to kill him.

Zhao Lingyun, Situ Yanran and the other three were almost stunned. While controlling the Five Swords Return to Origin Sword Formation, he was actually able to use other means. The strength of his soul and magic power far exceeded their expectations.

For ordinary cultivators, after entering the Five Swords Return to Origin Sword Formation, their minds are almost exhausted and it is difficult for them to use other means.

Chen An in front of him not only did so, but also used three mysterious weapons at once!

If the sword formation did not have strict requirements on cultivation, they would have doubted whether Chen An was also a cultivator who had reached the perfection of the Void Refining Realm.

But what they didn't know was that Chen An had mastered the martial arts he practiced very deeply, and he could use most of his suppressed skills without disrupting the balance of the sword formation.

"Do you think you can kill me with just these two swords?"

After Mu Ling noticed the two mysterious weapons flying towards him, he sneered with a look of disdain on his face.

At first, Mu Ling didn't take it seriously, but gradually, he discovered that the opponent was manipulating the two swords to adopt guerrilla tactics, attacking and retreating at times.

After all this trouble, no one gained any advantage, and both ended up depleting a lot of their magic power.

At this moment, the magic power in Dantian was gradually running out. Mu Ling took a pill and felt a little flustered.

The opponent's attacks became more and more frequent, and elixirs alone were no longer able to restore his mana. On the contrary, with every attack of the magic sword, his mana would decrease under defense.

"Not good. We should withdraw from the Bloody Sea first. Once they leave this sea area, their lives and deaths will be under my control."

After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Ling decided to stop for the time being and wait until he left the Land of No Spirits. By then, he would be able to replenish his magic power continuously and become invincible.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt the opponent attacking him again, and two swords appeared suddenly.

"How clingy! Fortunately, I left myself some room. As long as I block this attack, these guys will be finished!"

There was still two or three points of magic power left in his body, so Mu Ling felt that he could still resist this guerrilla attack.

"puff!"

A sharp blade rushed out from the sea and pierced directly into Mu Ling's back.

He thought it was just an ordinary attack and he could escape with a little effort, but unexpectedly, the eerie black energy from the blade attached itself to his soul like a maggot on his tarsal bone, slowly eating away at it.

"My life is over!"

Without the control of their master, the five demon corpses stopped moving and collapsed with a loud bang.

The huge tree man in the distance seemed to have been drained of his essence, shrinking continuously until it retreated back under the water. In a competition of consumption, Chen An had never been afraid of anyone!
The few people who didn't know the truth looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to step forward to check, for fear that it was the other party's evil plot.

Chen An chuckled and said, "Don't move. Wait for me here for a while."

Then with a hiss, it plunged into the water.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is too reckless. If this is a trick to lure our troops, we will be in trouble."

"I didn't see it clearly just now. Is that old man dead?"

"How can it be?!"

"I saw it too. It seems that it was Daoist Chen who killed this person."

The four of them talked for a while, but no one left the Sky-Splitting Shuttle and went forward to check.

After all, if something unexpected happens, it is safer to stay on the Sky Shuttle.

But after a moment, Chen An came back and appeared in front of several people.

Zhao Lingyun and others immediately surrounded him and asked, "Is the old man dead?"

"died!"

Chen An nodded, and immediately ordered: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave here first."

This place was not far from the Demon Alliance, and several people did not want to stay here any longer, so they set sail immediately and headed towards Shenglin Island.

It was not until a month later that they felt the spiritual energy rolling in from all around them and finally left the Bloody Sea safely.

Chen An had been in a state of tension before and had not had time to check the spoils.

In this battle, a total of six demon cultivators were killed and six storage bags were obtained.

The first four people killed were killed by the sword formation, and the spoils were divided equally among the five people. There were also many rare treasures and mysterious weapons, and it was a rich harvest.

All the treasures added together are roughly equivalent to fifteen kilograms of Sanyang Divine Water, or more than one thousand five hundred drops!
Killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt. People who do this business can really get rich overnight.

It is estimated that the six demon cultivators' harvests on normal days should not be so abundant. They probably took advantage of the opportunity that many cultivators rushed to Shenglin Island to open businesses frequently and harvest more.

But all this is cheap for five people.

There were also many rare treasures and mysterious weapons, but Chen An took none of them. He only took three kilograms of Sanyang Divine Water according to his due.

You know, the set of Five Elements Swords in the hands of the five people was auctioned for less than two hundred drops of Three Yang Divine Water.

Of course, the last two demon cultivators were killed by Chen An alone, so all the spoils naturally belonged to him.

Although several people were involved in the killing of the lion, it was Chen An who ultimately killed the lion. He was the only one responsible for the death, and the other four had nothing to say.

If Chen An had not taken action, they would have died long ago, and naturally they would not care about these things.

After a quick inspection, Chen An couldn't help but gasp, even though he had just obtained three kilograms of Sanyang Divine Water.

The Sanyang Divine Water in the hands of these two people alone weighs eleven or twelve kilograms, which is almost equivalent to the entire fortune of the previous four people!

With so many resources, Chen An didn't plan to waste time. He sat directly on the Sky-Splitting Shuttle, took out a bottle of Sanyang Divine Water, about five or six taels, and drank nearly half of it with his head tilted back.

Afterwards, he began to practice on the Sky-Splitting Shuttle in a very open manner.

This action immediately frightened the other four people.

"Can I take so much Sanyang Divine Water at once?"

Zhao Lingyun was horrified. An ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm could only take one drop at a time. Even a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm could never take more than five drops.

There must have been at least twenty or thirty drops from the mouthful Chen An took just now!

If it happened to an ordinary person, even if he didn't explode and die, his body would be messed up by the impact and he would have been seriously injured.

By now, the four of them had already figured out something, and there was a bit more awe in their eyes when they looked at Chen An.

Moreover, they quietly surrounded Chen An and protected him.

Chen An, who was immersed in cultivation, did not pay too much attention to it, but swallowed the Sanyang Divine Water one mouthful after another.

Try to improve your cultivation to the eighth level of Refining Void as much as possible before arriving at Shenglin Island, in the hope of breaking through to the ninth level of Refining Void during the few years of traveling.

No matter what, every additional level of cultivation will give you more confidence in the trip to Shenglin Island.

Seven years later.

In the seemingly endless sea, Chen An and his four companions flew in the realm of refining emptiness for seven years!
According to the map and combined with star positioning, we have probably entered the sea area where Shenglin Island is located.

"finally reached!"

He had not anticipated that he would have to go to the spiritual land of the Bloody Sea, which resulted in the accelerated consumption of his resources.

Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to reach Shenglin Island.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. After killing six demon cultivators and obtaining the treasures on them, they replenished a wave of resources, which not only allowed them to successfully reach Shenglin Island, but also left a lot left.

As they got closer and closer to Shenglin Island, they could occasionally see monks in the distance above the sea who were also on their way.

There is no need to ask specifically, all the monks who appear here come for the opportunity of fusion on the island.

"According to the original plan, we will immediately set off to the island to seize the initiative and find the place where the Fusion Spirit was born."

Zhao Lingyun said excitedly, maybe because he was too excited, his face was slightly flushed.

I don't know where the City Lord's Mansion got the information from, but they found out a specific place where the Shen Yuanpo could be born.

Moreover, it is different from the five places that Chen Fengshuo reported back from the barbarians. It is a completely different place.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen An came here with four people.

In addition to the convenience of doing things, it is also because of the location.

After discussion, the five people decided to go to Shenglin Island as soon as possible, for fear that someone else would get there first.

But a few days later, he suddenly saw a monk walking in the opposite direction. The other party was covered in dust and looked like he had returned from a defeat.

Zhao Lingyun, who was controlling the Sky-Splitting Shuttle, saw this and hurriedly asked, "My fellow Daoist, everyone is heading to Shenglin Island, why are you still leaving?"

The monk opposite glanced at him, snorted and said, "You can't get in."

"But what happened?"

"The Dragon and Phoenix tribes got there first and joined forces to block the entrance to the island. Now, no one can get in!"

After leaving a few words, the monk left without waiting for anyone to ask again.

"This is how to do?"

Zhao Lingyun and the others looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

At this time, Chen An stopped practicing and woke up slowly.

He heard everything that the two had said just now, and immediately said:

"Let's keep going. This matter is of great concern. Let's go and see what's going on first."
