Chapter 706: Intrigue and Deception

The knife light suddenly rose from the ground. When it appeared, there was no sound or sign. It was really hard to defend against. What's more, the cultivator who cut out this treasure was at the early stage of Yuanying. Luo Hongye was only at the late stage of Jindan. At this moment, his mind was highly focused on the corpse of the sick young man in front of him, so he was even more defenseless. Such a deliberate and unintentional attack would surely hit the target.

After the knife light cut off Hongye's head, it did not stop. It turned into a layer of knife shadows, cutting vertically and horizontally. In an instant, it formed a curtain of knife light with a radius of several feet. The corpses of Xiao Jingyuan and his Taoist companion were all covered in the range of the knife shadow attack.

Xiao Jingyuan had never expected that there was someone else hiding under the rocks and soil on the island. He was shocked and angry. He no longer cared about using the flying sword to cut the spirit-raising bag and spirit-raising gourd on Wu Yan's waist.

At this time, if he went to rescue his Taoist partner's body, he could still save his soul and find another cultivator to take over his body and be reborn. If he didn't save him, his Taoist partner would be swept by the heavy sword light and knife curtain, and his soul would be scattered.

However, if Xiao Jingyuan really went to save his Taoist partner, he would definitely fall into the trap of the sneak attacker underground. Since this person had been hiding underground for a long time and waiting for this moment to attack, he must have heard the conversation between the couple and knew the strangeness of the sick young man, and his goal was naturally to come for this.

Xiao Jingyuan made a decision almost in the blink of an eye.

He didn't care about anything else, avoided the heavy sword light and knife curtain above his head, and jumped towards the sick young man's body on the ground not far away. He raised his hand and a big palm condensed by magic power condensed in an instant, grabbing the corpse.

However, before his big palm could capture the corpse, a faint earth-colored light suddenly shot out from the ground, also capturing the corpse, three times faster than him.

At the same time, the knife light curtain had already fallen, cutting vertically and horizontally, and in almost the blink of an eye, the corpse of Xiao Jingyuan's Taoist partner Luo Hongye was cut into minced meat, and the soul was even more shattered in a scream of unwillingness and disbelief.

Seeing that someone wanted to grab the spoils that belonged to him before him, Xiao Jingyuan was not willing to do so, and immediately shouted angrily: "Good thief, dare to take food from your grandfather's mouth, and eat my sword!"

The flying sword that he had taken back before suddenly turned and turned into a sword light, suddenly sank into the ground, and slashed at the object that captured the light.

But a harsh and unpleasant beast roar came from under the rock and soil, and the earth-colored escape light on the ground that was shooting towards the corpse of the sick young man suddenly disappeared. A stream of blood shot out from the ground in the distance, like a rain of fireworks, rising several feet high.

In the blink of an eye, the ground cracked open a hole several feet wide, and an ugly earth jackal beast with a flying sword stuck on its back rushed out of the hole. It flew only more than ten feet away and fell to the ground, spewing a lot of demon blood from its mouth. It seemed that its demon pill had been destroyed and it was about to die.

At this time, a voice of anger mixed with sorrow came from behind Xiao Jingyuan: "F**k you, Xiao, you dare to kill my grandfather's pet, I will never let you go!"

Xiao Jingyuan had turned around and looked at the person who had attacked his Taoist partner Luo Hongye before, but he saw that it was an ordinary cultivator, but there was a flicker of obscenity in his eyes. Looking at the earth jackal not far away, he had already reacted and sneered: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you, a shameless old man! Jackal Taoist, you just killed a monster, but you killed How should I settle the account of killing my wife and Taoist companion, Xiao Jingyuan? "

"Hmph, you are such a heartless guy, how dare you bring this up? If you had been willing to use your flying sword to resist my flying knife formation, how could your wife have died? Hehe, although I cut off her head, you still have a chance to save her, and at most help her to reborn in another body. For the sake of that boy's corpse, you even ignored the life and death of your wife, bah, you are so shameless!" The Taoist Chai jumped up and cursed, seeming to be quite disdainful of this matter.

Both of them are cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and neither of them is sure of victory. Originally, if Luo Hongye had not been ambushed, relying on the tacit understanding between them, they might not be able to kill the Taoist Chai in front of them.

But now, Xiao Jingyuan is somewhat powerless. However, he still had his own trump card that he had not revealed, which was a powerful acquired spiritual treasure that he brought from the Xiao family.

However, at this moment, he also had some injuries in his body. Previously, because he had been thinking about how to deal with the sick young man, he had not had time to swallow the elixir to recover from his injuries. Originally, he did not take it too seriously, but now these injuries have become his fatal weakness that may lead to his defeat.

Any powerful acquired spiritual treasure, if you want to stimulate its full power, will consume a lot of energy for the cultivator. With Xiao Jingyuan's current cultivation in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, if he is not injured, he can still fully activate this treasure. Although it is likely to consume a lot of mana, it is enough to kill this person. But now he is injured, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult to deal with.

And looking at the appearance of the Jackal Taoist in front of him, he seems to be in a very good state. Comparing the two, it is self-evident which one is higher and which one is lower, which one is better and which one is worse.

Xiao Jingyuan looked at the Taoist Chai with a flickering look in his eyes, trying to find his weakness and give him a fatal blow.

Obviously, the Taoist Chai was not a fool, but was extremely shrewd, and he had the same plan at this time.

The two of them immediately confronted each other with big eyes and small eyes. The atmosphere in the center of the desert island couldn't help but become more solemn and depressing due to the confrontation between these two people.

Ten feet away, the seventh-order peak earth jackal beast was not completely dead at this moment. Xiao Jinyuan did not withdraw his magical flying sword, but let it stick into the back of the jackal beast until it reached the hilt. There was a faint light flickering at the hilt of the flying sword, as if there was some power that restrained the dying jackal.

At this moment, the earth jackal beast was spitting out blood foam from its mouth. It was dying. It whined and looked at the jackal Taoist and called for help. Taoist Jackal's face gradually showed a trace of reluctance, and he wanted to turn his head to see his beloved pet, but facing Xiao Jinyuan, his formidable enemy, he did not dare to turn his head rashly.

Xiao Jinyuan noticed this scene, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he had a plan. He quietly, slowly and carefully retreated towards the body of the sick young man behind him, laughing loudly, distracting Taoist Jackal with his words, and said: "Taoist Jackal, you are quite an extraordinary earth beast. How can you do this?" It was the only time in Xiao's life for a spiritual beast like this to be able to freely perform the Earth Escape technique in such a dangerous place like Shen Tu Valley. It was such a pity that he would die here today. In the Sunken Earth Valley, with the power of this spiritual beast, you must have collected all the sixteen hundred-year-old immortal stone fungi, right? I really envy Xiao that you have sixteen hundred-year-old immortal stones. "Jiu, why are you here to snatch this person's body from Xiao? This person is just an enemy Xiao met in the secret realm of Dao Palace, there is nothing special about him."

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Jinyuan's words, Taoist Jackal's face twitched slightly, and he wanted to turn around and look at the whining jackal several times with a look of unbearability. Because of this, he even ignored Xiao Jinyuan's small actions.

"Don't worry, Xiao will not take the opportunity to sneak attack you. Hehe, Xiao actually only used the flying sword to temporarily immobilize the beast demon pill, and did not strangle it. The reason why it looks like it is dying now is because Xiao flew The magical sword power only severely damaged its internal organs. If rescued in time, it might not be possible to save its life."

Seeing that Taoist Jackal was persuaded by him, Xiao Jingyuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he continued to strike while the iron was hot, breaking a piece of news that greatly excited Taoist Jackal.

"Are you telling the truth?" Taoist Jackal's face showed surprise and joy, and he couldn't help but said with excitement.

"Of course it's true. Xiao will never lie to you. Don't worry." Xiao Jingyuan was getting closer to the body of the sick young man. "If you don't believe it, when Xiao takes out the flying sword, you, the spiritual beast, will But when you stand up again, you will naturally believe it.”

"Okay, let me believe you for once. How can you be willing to take out the flying sword and let go of my beloved pet?" Taoist Jackal gritted his teeth and made some kind of decision as if his heart was bleeding.

Xiao Jingyuan chuckled and said: "Fellow Daoist Jackal is really happy. Now you only need to exit Baizhang. When Xiao takes the corpse of this enemy, he will take out the flying sword magic weapon and let your spirit beast go."

"Hmph, it's okay for you to deceive a child, but you want to fool me, but you are a little too young. Xiao, if I really retreat a hundred feet away, how can I be sure that you have just removed his body when you get it? Is what you said true? If you have deceived me, you have already destroyed the demon pill that I love. Wouldn’t I be tricked by you? Don’t lie to me unless you can prove it to me now. It's true, otherwise, I would never let you go!" Taoist Jackal couldn't believe it, he said angrily.

"Forget it, since fellow jackal doesn't believe it, how about Xiao take out a part of the flying sword now and prove it to you?" Xiao Jingyuan said confidently. As he spoke, with a thought, the flying sword from the back of the earth jackal beast was immediately taken out. A few inches long, and after he did this, the wailing sound of the jackal beast became much louder. At the same time, it struggled to stand up, but after several attempts, the restraint in the body was not completely lifted. , so he threw himself to the ground slumped and burst into even louder wails and screams.

"Okay, I promise you!" Taoist Jackal finally seemed to be unable to bear letting his beloved pet suffer anymore. He immediately turned around and took a quick look, then turned his head back unbearably and said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, that's right. For the corpse of a monk who has no idea of ​​its origin, it's a bad deal to include your pet in it. Fellow Daoist Jackal will definitely not regret this decision afterwards." Xiao Jinyuan Continue to confuse.

At this time, his body was less than ten feet away from the corpse of the sick young man. The cold air emanating from the corpse made his entire back feel cold and chilly, and even gave him a creepy feeling. However, in order to keep Taoist Jackal as far away as possible, he could take the opportunity to take away the body. At this time, he had to endure the discomfort and stared at Taoist Jackal without blinking.

Taoist Jackal's body immediately flew up, flew a hundred feet away, stopped on a big rock, and shouted to Xiao Jingyuan: "Xiao, are you satisfied now? Let me release the spirit beast soon!"
