Chapter 365 Chang Sheng Makes a Move, Escaping in a Daring Move
"It seems that you two fellow Daoists set up this ambush because of this matter."
"If True Lord Black Tiger really wants to know, let's see if he has the ability."
Fairy Yunmiao's expression was cold and solemn, but a dark glint flashed deep in her eyes, as if she was slightly annoyed because True Lord Black Tiger had mentioned this matter.
'Rustle!'
As she spoke, Fairy Yunmiao's plain white robes extended into long white ribbons, like chilling white silk threads, encircling her and concealing her figure. Besides being discreet, they also seemed to have a defensive function.
Seeing this, Black Tiger True Lord and Nether Tiger Mountain Lord joined forces and launched a fierce attack.
"Black Tiger True Lord and Nether Tiger Mountain Lord, this human and demon king both cultivate bodies, this situation is probably not good."
Lin Changsheng stared intently at the arena, his hand tightly gripping several top-tier third-order spell talismans.
Once True Monarch Yunmiao falls into a disadvantageous position, he will consider offering his assistance.
Unfortunately, he could only make one move against two Nascent Soul level enemies.
Regardless of whether it works or not, Lin Changsheng will immediately activate the 'Minor Teleportation Talisman' to escape from this place.
Otherwise, if he attracts the attention of either of them and they confront each other head-on, Lin Changsheng will have no advantage whatsoever.
On the other side, three Nascent Soul level True Monarchs were engaged in a fierce battle, with breathtaking magical power fluctuations constantly erupting in the arena.
Among the three magical auras, Yunmiao Zhenjun, who was in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, was clearly the most powerful, overpowering the other two in terms of aura alone.
As for Lord Youhu Mountain, although he has advanced to the fourth-tier demon king, he is more proficient in body refinement. His demon power is far inferior to that of True Lord Yunmiao, and is only slightly stronger than True Lord Heihu.
Faced with the two using their Body Refinement Realm advantage to close in, True Monarch Yunmiao activated hundreds or even thousands of white ribbons to surround himself, using this as a buffer to greatly limit the close combat effectiveness of those in the Body Refinement Realm.
Black Tiger True Lord wielded the magic weapon 'Tiger Head Saber,' its blade surrounded by magical power, dazzling and blinding. He slashed at the white ribbons, but most of his force was deflected, as if he were cutting into thin air, with minimal effect.
'Roar! '
Upon seeing this, Lord Youhushan unconsciously let out a savage roar, his palms brimming with demonic power, accompanied by billowing demonic winds, unleashing tremendous might.
'Tear! '
A series of tearing sounds rang out, and more than a dozen long white ribbons were instantly torn to pieces by the demonic wind.
Upon seeing this, Black Tiger True Lord's own blood and qi shone brightly, and the Tiger Head Saber magic weapon emitted bursts of blood and qi power, making it even more powerful.
In an instant, several more white ribbons were torn apart.
Just as Black Tiger True Lord was showing a smug expression, a cold glint suddenly appeared amidst the white ribbons.
An icy arrow emerged from the center, carrying a large amount of chilling white air, and wherever it passed, a layer of frost appeared.
Black Tiger True Lord's face turned solemn. He quickly held his large tiger-headed saber horizontally and simultaneously channeled his magic power to defend himself.
'Boom! '
With a cracking sound, Black Tiger True Monarch was blasted back more than ten feet, and the ice crystal arrow exploded in front of him, turning into countless tiny ice crystal particles.
He felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a penetrating chill that penetrated to his very bones!
The biting cold covered the surface of the body, condensing into a layer of frost at a visible speed.
Black Tiger True Lord grunted, his burly body frozen in place.
Holding a tiger-head knife, his eyebrows and eyes were covered with white frost, turning into an ice sculpture, and the cold air seeped into his body through his pores.
'Oooooh!'
At that moment, a deafening roar of a savage beast resounded.
An invisible sonic wave rippled outwards, launching an indiscriminate attack that affected everyone present.
The Black Tiger True Lord, who was temporarily frozen, had his body covered in frost that shattered and fell away. Caught off guard, he was attacked by the Nascent Soul level innate divine power of the Nether Tiger Mountain Lord, and his face quickly turned from frozen blue to an abnormal red.
Clearly, even Black Tiger True Monarch suffered some internal injuries after enduring two attacks at the mid-stage Nascent Soul level.
On the other side, Yunmiao Zhenjun, who was hidden among the white ribbons, also let out a soft groan. The hundreds of white ribbons paused slightly, clearly affected.
Lin Changsheng, who was located at the farthest point, also could not escape the range of the sonic attack.
'puff! '
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
In an instant, he felt as if a huge hammer had struck his chest, his internal organs were shaken, he felt nauseous and dizzy.
"The innate abilities of a fourth-tier demon king are indeed extraordinary."
Lin Changsheng secretly circulated the Everlasting Spring Technique, using his magical power to nourish and heal his injuries, and the abnormal blood stagnation in his body improved.
Meanwhile, Youhu Mountain Lord, who launched the sonic attack, seized the opportunity to unleash his powerful demonic energy, tearing through dozens of white ribbons once more, and heading straight for the location of Yunmiao True Lord.
Immediately afterwards, another "whoosh" sound came as an ice crystal arrow shot out and collided with the charging Youhu Mountain Lord.
Its robust and sturdy body, resembling a small hill, trembled slightly, also covered by a layer of white frost.
However, Lord Youhu Mountain is of a higher realm and possesses greater demonic power. In addition, tiger-type demons are inherently of pure yang nature and have a certain degree of immunity to yin and cold attributes.
Therefore, the moment he was frozen by the cold air, a layer of qi and blood power rose on the surface of Lord Youhu Mountain's body, which isolated him from the invasion of the cold air. After a slight pause, he shook himself and the frost melted away, and his movements were no longer restricted.
"Hehe, how could you human cultivators compare to the power of my demonic power?"
Lord Youhu grinned, a hint of smugness on his face. His demon king aura surged rapidly, and his body seemed to shimmer with crimson demonic light.
As it charged wildly, the sound of tearing cloth echoed, and the long white silk instantly turned into countless fragments that flew everywhere, revealing the figure of True Monarch Yunmiao.
Seeing that Lord Youhu Mountain was so difficult to deal with, which was obviously beyond her expectations, True Monarch Yunmiao's beautiful face changed slightly. She immediately activated her magic power, and a layer of azure aura surged, gathering the remaining white ribbons and transforming them into a white 'ice egg' several feet in diameter around herself.
Although the Demon Lord of Youhu Mountain was powerful, as soon as he approached the 'ice egg', countless sharp ice spikes shot out from its interior, causing the Demon Lord to turn away in a cold expression.
A pair of tiger paws gathered powerful demonic energy, then turned and landed on the surface of the ice egg with a 'boom'.
Two Nascent Soul stage auras collided, and a massive aura of magic power soared into the sky, spreading outwards in all directions.
Lin Changsheng, who was dozens of feet away, swayed slightly due to the influence of the surrounding environment.
Such a terrifying battle, even the slightest residual force, has a wide-ranging impact, and could even instantly kill a pseudo-core-level True Person.
The smooth surface of the 'ice egg' resembled a hedgehog, with countless sharp ice spikes extending out again, damaging the Demon Lord of Youhu Mountain and leaving numerous bloody holes covered in frost on his body!
'Click! '
A crisp cracking sound followed.
Lord Youhu pulled his frozen, bluish-white tiger arm out of the 'ice egg,' his sharp claws tipped with a few drops of blood.
Inside the 'ice egg'.
Yunmiao Zhenjun's face turned pale, his breathing became rapid, and his internal magical power showed signs of slight disorder. His plain clothes were torn at the shoulder, revealing a patch of bright red blood and several scratch marks.
Under the suppression of a special magnetic field, unable to unleash his full strength, facing two opponents simultaneously, especially two Nascent Soul cultivators skilled in body refinement, the pressure was immense.
Now all three are injured, but compared to the others, True Monarch Yunmiao, who has not cultivated his physical body, is at a greater disadvantage.
If this continues, the situation will only get worse.
The fact that 'Black Tiger True Lord' and 'Nether Tiger Mountain Lord' concealed their advancement and launched an ambush suggests that they had assessed the strength of both sides and were taking advantage of the situation.
Lin Changsheng hesitated for a moment, looking for the right opportunity.
Currently, neither 'Black Tiger True Monarch' nor 'Nether Tiger Mountain Lord' takes Lin Changsheng, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, seriously, making this the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack.
Lin Changsheng needs to maximize the effectiveness of the sneak attack as much as possible.
At the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, Lin Changsheng risked his life to intervene in the battle between Nascent Soul True Monarchs. He had been cultivating for many years using the spiritual veins of the Willow Smoke Sect, which he considered as making some contributions to the sect.
……
A moment later, Lin Changsheng seized the opportunity, gathering his magical energy in his hands, preparing to instantly activate a large number of top-tier third-order spells to buy time for True Monarch Yunmiao.
Not far away, the 'Lord of the Nether Tiger Mountain' seemed to sense something. Its huge tiger head turned back to look at Lin Changsheng, its eyes revealing a blood-red ferocious light. Suddenly, wisps of black smoke rose from its massive body, which was as big as a small hill. In the middle of the process, it split into four, which condensed into four human puppets with withered bodies, pale skin, and lifeless eyes.
"Woo-woo!"
In an instant, a chilling, mournful wail emanated from the four human puppets, seemingly accompanied by a sonic attack, making those who heard it feel irritated and unable to concentrate.
"This is... a changgui?"
"And they're four top-tier, third-order changui!"
Sensing the four powerful peak-level third-tier auras, Lin Changsheng stopped in his tracks, his heart filled with astonishment.
Manipulating and enslaving demons is one of the common innate supernatural abilities of high-level tiger-type demon beasts.
Even in the secular world, there are rumors that after a human is eaten by a tiger, the ghost will attach itself to the tiger and become a courier ghost. Not only will it not resent the tiger, but it will also use this to cultivate itself and help the tiger find prey. People call this phenomenon "being a courier ghost for a tiger".
The enslaved spirits under the command of high-level tiger-type demonic beasts will continuously improve as their cultivation level increases.
Similar to the puppets created by puppeteers, they can also grow as their master's cultivation level increases.
The 'Lord of the Nether Tiger Mountain' before us has four cougars whose auras are almost at the peak of the third rank. Perhaps it won't be long before a fourth-rank cougar appears.
When 'True Man of Heavenly Poison' was wandering the world of cultivation, he encountered a third-tier tiger-type demon with such talent and had some understanding of something similar to 'Changgui'.
Facing four top-tier third-level demon foes at the same time, Lin Changsheng had to be careful and cautious.
He silently commanded the three-headed corpse puppet to stand in front of him, while simultaneously activating a top-tier third-level defensive spell talisman, considering his next move.
These four demonic creatures pose a significant threat to Lin Changsheng, and he cannot afford to be careless in the slightest in the face of such an unexpected turn of events.
At the same time, Yunmiao Zhenjun, located in the 'ice egg', used her magic to freeze the claw marks on her body, temporarily stabilizing her injuries. Her fair hands moved continuously, and a large amount of azure cold air gathered at her fingertips.
‘Kaka! ’
Immediately afterwards, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the 'ice egg', and a lifelike two-headed ice snake, condensed from ice-attribute energy, burst out of the shell!
The moment the two-headed ice serpent appeared, two ferocious heads spewed out two breaths of cold air towards 'Black Tiger True Lord' and 'Nether Tiger Mountain Lord' respectively.
Wherever the cold breath passed, even the poisonous miasma and water stains in the air turned into tiny ice crystals, which floated away with the breath.
In an instant, Yunmiao Zhenjun's graceful figure transformed into a streak of blue light amidst the surrounding ice and snow, flying towards where Lin Changsheng was.
Several long white ribbons extended out again, binding the four top-tier third-order cougars.
Before long, four constantly surging 'white cocoons' appeared in front of me.
Although a top-tier third-order ghost is not weak, there is still no suspense when facing Yunmiao Zhenjun, who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
As the icy aura from Yunmiao Zhenjun's fingertips surged in, the four struggling 'white cocoons' instantly transformed into 'ice cocoons' and fell silent.
But amidst the huge commotion on the other side, the two-headed ice serpent, whose power was no less than that of a fourth-tier demon king, had already been reduced to countless ice crystal fragments by the combined efforts of 'Black Tiger True Monarch' and 'Nether Tiger Mountain Lord'.
The moment the two-headed ice serpent was destroyed, Yunmiao Zhenjun's aura weakened, and her delicate body swayed slightly. She barely managed to steady herself with the help of Lin Changsheng.
"Master Lin, Lord Youhu Mountain has advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth rank of demon king, but he has been keeping a low profile all along. He is probably planning this ambush and will not give up easily."
"I know that Master Lin is no ordinary Golden Core cultivator. If there is an opportunity later, I would like to ask Master Lin to try to escape on his own. I still have a backup plan at Cloud Mist Peak. When you return, someone will guide you."
"In a secret realm atop Cloud Mist Peak, there is a 'Heavenly Infant Fruit' that will ripen within a hundred years. If Master Lin Kui is fortunate enough to escape and assists me, the True Lord, in fulfilling certain conditions, this fruit can serve as your future advancement to the True Lord rank."
Supporting Yunmiao Zhenjun, Lin Changsheng could feel the softness emanating from her through her clothes. The usually noble and elegant female Zhenjun now spoke weakly, appearing even more delicate as she leaned close to Lin Changsheng, her breath as sweet as orchids.
In his words, he seemed completely unconcerned about his own safety, as if he had something extremely important to tell Lin Changsheng.
"Heavenly Infant Fruit!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Changsheng was immediately taken aback, his heart fluttering with excitement, but at the same time, a strange feeling arose within him.
Did True Monarch Yunmiao foresee this all along?
Or perhaps, even without this ambush, True Monarch Yunmiao still faced other crises, and thus planned ahead.
They had prepared a backup plan early on, and using the 'Heavenly Infant Fruit' as an excuse, it seemed they had something else to tell them, and made it a prerequisite for obtaining the 'Heavenly Infant Fruit'.
However, within the Willow Smoke Sect, Chen Xingzhou had already secretly cooperated with True Monarch Black Tiger. If True Monarch Cloud Mist were to perish here, Chen Xingzhou would be in charge of everything within the sect.
Over the course of a century, too many variables exist, and Lin Changsheng may not be able to obtain the 'Heavenly Infant Fruit' as he wishes.
In this light, it is in his best interest that True Lord Yunmiao is safe and sound.
“Senior Yunmiao, if you perish here today, the Ziyun Sect will most likely attack the Liuyan Sect. Qingdan Zhenjun alone may not be able to support it on your own.”
"I do have some ways to escape that I can try. If that doesn't work, I will follow your advice and return to the sect alone to receive further instructions."
As he spoke, Lin Changsheng said, "Excuse me," and then reached out to gently embrace Yunmiao Zhenjun's slender waist, pressing her tightly against his body.
