Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 157: Meet Li Tianhan again and fight against the ghost-eyed monster!
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and he used the earth escape technique.

I saw his figure running quickly underground, and every tens of thousands of miles, he would arrive at the transit space that had been opened up in advance.

In this way, it took about an hour for Lin Chen to return to the ground.

"Within the Righteous Alliance, you can find a safe house almost every hundred miles."

"If I encounter danger, I can quickly find a safe spot... and then perform the earth escape technique to dive a thousand miles underground within an hour."

"This way, it is extremely safe."

Lin Chen knew the locations of all eighty-two safe houses.

After he returned to the ground, he looked around and quickly determined the direction.

"Well, I haven't been to the front line for more than a year, so I'll go harvest some leeks."

Lin Chen muttered.

The fourth-level golden elixir, combined with the martial arts strength of an intermediate martial arts master, made Lin Chen not afraid even when facing the ninth-level golden elixir.

Looking at the eastern part of Qingzhou, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, Lin Chen should have no rivals below the Nascent Soul stage...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen turned into a beam of light and flew towards the north.

……

The next day at noon, looking north towards the city.

Lin Chen took the bag of spirit stones, and after confirming that the amount was okay, he nodded and said:
"Brother Wan, the deal is done. I won't stay here for long. I have to go to other cities to do business."

Wan Xun nodded after hearing this, and suddenly said:

"Brother Xu, if you have time, you can go to Luoyan City."

"There seems to be a shortage of magic weapons and elixirs in Luoyan City at the moment. I think my brother can make a lot of spirit stones..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's heart moved, and he bowed and said, "That's great, thank you for the reminder, Brother Wan!"

He didn't stay in Beiwang City for long, and went straight to Luoyan City further north.

Within the territory of Zi Yan Country, there are three cities on the front line of the Righteous Alliance.

They are Ziyan City, Beiwang City and Luoyan City.

The three cities supported each other and jointly resisted the attack of the demon monks.

Among them, Luoyan City is closest to the ruins of the Spirit Beast Sect, which is now the headquarters of the Demon Sect.

Only three thousand miles apart.

The distance from Beiwang City to Luoyan City is about a thousand miles.

Lin Chen rode the blue jade gourd all the way north.

Flying over mountains and rivers...

But the further north he went, the more Lin Chen's brows furrowed.

Lin Chen traveled hundreds of miles from Beiwang City to the north, but he didn't see a single living person.

It passes through four or five small towns and dozens of villages.

Looking down from the sky, there were also many people suffering and corpses everywhere...

"Alas, back then this was the economic center of the northern part of Ziyan Country, with tens of thousands of mortals and countless fertile fields..."

"But now..."

Lin Chen sighed.

It has only been five years since the invasion of the Demon Sect.

The number of monks killed in the battle is probably no less than tens of thousands...

The number of mortals who died is more than tens of millions.

The phrase "when the locusts pass through, not a single blade of grass grows" is the most appropriate description.

Flying hundreds of feet in the sky, Lin Chen looked down.

However, there were corpses floating all over the ground, and there was a faint gathering of black gas.

Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw this.

"Too many mortals died, and most of them died tragically..."

"In troubled times, evil will surely appear... The ghosts of these dead mortals have turned into karma and resentment... They have already affected this land, and perhaps a very terrifying monster will be born."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly. He had no way to solve the karma and resentment on the other side.

Unless the evil sect is eradicated and high monks and ascetics are invited to come and liberate the souls for several years... perhaps these karmas can be eliminated.

"Ugh……"

Lin Chen didn't dare to look down and continued to fly towards the north.

After flying for more than a hundred miles, Lin Chen still didn't see the village.

But suddenly, several flying swords came and directly slashed at Lin Chen's body-protecting true energy.

boom!
With just a crisp sound, Lin Chen used his body-protecting true energy to deflect the flying sword.

At the same time, dozens of auras rushed towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, but saw that all the people who came were Tribulation Cultivators and Demon Cultivators.

There are about thirty of them, all of them look fierce, with black foreheads, and obviously have created a lot of karma... Their cultivation levels range from Qi Refining to Perfect Foundation Establishment.

"Boy, if you know what's best for you, hand over your valuable treasures! We can still leave you with an intact body..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The leading demon cultivator sneered and approached Lin Chen relying on his numbers.

The dozens of demon cultivators behind him also revealed cruel smiles.

Seeing this, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and muttered:

"A deal that comes right to your door is so good?"

Then, dozens of sword lights and saber auras flashed by.

Dozens of heads rolled to the ground. Lin Chen picked up the storage bag, not even bothering to collect the corpses, and continued to fly forward.

After walking about a hundred miles further...

"Boy, be smart and hand over your valuable treasures..."

Lin Chen: "..."

So, Lin Chen made another small fortune.

From Beiwang City to Luoyan City, the distance is only a thousand miles.

Along the way, Lin Chen encountered three groups of demon cultivators who were robbing him.

After killing a hundred or so demon cultivators, Lin Chen also earned tens of thousands of spirit stones...

"Tsk tsk, to be honest, you can make a lot of money just by wandering around here for a few days."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly and wanted to laugh.

How long has it been since?

The entire front line of Ziyan Country has become so chaotic that within a few hundred miles, three gangs of evil cultivators have been robbing...

No wonder these hundreds of miles are deserted. They were probably all slaughtered by that group of demon cultivators.

"Alas, but we still can't do the sting operation... What if something goes wrong someday?"

Just as Lin Chen was sighing with emotion, he suddenly felt a strange movement coming from a distance.

boom!
Dozens of miles away, a burst of thunder was heard in the sky.

Purple lightning struck, and the huge wave caused strong winds to blow in the sky and earth.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, looked at the area dozens of miles away, and murmured:

"This noise... is it the Jindan cultivators fighting?"

"It's just that this breath feels a little familiar."

Lin Chen touched his chin and looked around again. The nearest safe house was about a hundred miles away.

With a way out, Lin Chen no longer had to worry.

"In that case, let's go and see what's going on..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and he turned into a beam of light and gathered towards the place where the thunder was.

As we got closer to the battle site, there were more dark clouds in the sky.

The lightning became more and more terrifying, with a lightning bolt striking down almost every few breaths...

When Lin Chen got closer, he felt that the breath became more and more familiar.

"This aura is... Li Tianhan?"

A strange look appeared on Lin Chen's face.

More than a year ago, he came to the front line of Zi Yan Kingdom and happened to meet Li Tianhan fighting with the demons.

This time... we met again!
"Could this be... the fate the monk mentioned?"

"However, it seems that Fellow Daoist Li's situation is not good this time!"

Lin Chen touched his chin, wondering whether he should help Li Tianhan.

As a top-notch genius in Qingzhou, Li Tianhan had already reached the third level of Golden Core cultivation before he was even forty years old.

In addition, he is a super-grade golden elixir, and he also possesses the secret method of the Demon Subduing Temple, and has cultivated the Demon Subduing Heavenly Thunder Body.

It can invoke heavenly thunder to attack the enemy and has a great restraining effect on the demonic monks.

Therefore, even an ordinary middle stage Jindan may not be a match for Li Tianhan...

But this time, in Lin Chen's perception, Li Tianhan's breath was extremely unstable.

He was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured and had a hard time fighting the enemy.

“So, Fellow Daoist Li’s opponent should be in the late Jindan stage? He’s definitely not a Yuanying cultivator… If he was a Yuanying, he would probably be dead by now.”

Lin Chen made a rough guess.

Since it is the late stage of Jindan, it will be easy to deal with.

With Lin Chen's current combat power, he can almost crush an ordinary late Jindan cultivator. He may not lose even to a Nine-transformation Golden Core cultivator.

"Let me go check out the situation first... If I can't defeat them, I'll just run away..."

Lin Chen was very confident, so he flew towards the place where the lightning and thunder were.

When he got within ten miles, Lin Chen used the Rotten Wood Technique, and his entire aura was hidden like a rotten wood.

After several years, Lin Chen had already perfected the Rotten Wood Technique.

When it is operating at full power, even a Nascent Soul cultivator may not be able to easily detect it.

Lin Chen was still very confident about this. After all, he had put a lot of effort into his life-saving magic.

Using the Rotten Wood Technique, Lin Chen slowly moved towards the center of the battle.

Ten miles, five miles...

Lin Chen stopped until he was only a hundred or two hundred feet away from the battle site.

The whole person was hidden behind a big tree.

From this position, Lin Chen could also clearly see the two warring parties.

"Li Tianhan and..."

"Ghost-eyed old monster!" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect to meet two old acquaintances at the same time.

"Old Ghost Eyes! Long time no see..."

There was a hint of grimness in the smile on Lin Chen's face.

He is no longer the little foundation-building cultivator who was unable to do anything when Yudai City was massacred a few years ago...

I still remember that when the city was being massacred, he had no choice but to use the earth escape technique and dig a cave for several months in order to protect himself.

Finally, he escaped the disaster and encountered a turning point in his spiritual practice.

Enter the ruins of Jinyuan Sect and practice the third level of Jinyuan Gong.

"It is said that the old ghost eyed monster was an eighth-level Jindan cultivator. In order to obtain the third-level Jinyuan Gong, he dispersed his power and started over..."

"Then his current cultivation level..."

Lin Chen took a careful look, and even with his Qi-sensing skills, he was still unable to fully see through the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster's cultivation level.

I think it should be the late stage of Jindan...

"Tsk tsk, it's only been a few years, and he has actually reached the late stage of Jindan again... It seems that the advantage of dispersing the power and retraining is extraordinary."

"But it looks like it's only the seventh rank golden elixir, not yet the eighth rank golden elixir."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Although he only cultivated to the seventh level of golden elixir, the quality of the ghost-eyed old monster's golden elixir reached the ninth level.

Therefore, his strength is probably even stronger than it was five years ago, and he can even be compared with the average 9th level golden elixir cultivator...

"Oh, if it were someone else, I might not be willing to take action..."

"But the old monster with ghost eyes deserves to die!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and released his spiritual consciousness like a tide.

At the same time, Lin Chen's true energy poured out crazily, wrapping twenty-one flying swords and slashing straight towards the ghost-eyed monster on the battlefield.

……

At this time, the battle between Guimu Old Monster and Li Tianhan was at a life-and-death moment.

Well, Li Tianhan is dying.

Even though he possessed the body of heavenly thunder that could subdue demons, he could still use the thunder from heaven to restrain the ghost-eyed monster.

But due to the absolute gap in realm, Li Tianhan was still suppressed.

At this moment, he was seen with black air wrapped all over his body. This black air seemed to be transformed from ghost grudges and could greatly erode his true essence and magic power.

Most of Li Tianhan's true energy from the third level of Dan had been consumed, and he could only hold on with difficulty.

Large chunks of flesh and blood on his chest, shoulders, and arms disappeared.

There were also several teeth marks with a black glow left behind.

It seemed to be eaten by an unknown beast.

"Hehe, five years ago... weren't you very crazy?"

"You still dare to attack me? How can you look up to me now?"

A childish voice came out of the ghost-eyed old monster's mouth, but his tone was eerie and terrifying.

He still looked like a boy, and the skin on the right side of his body was as white and tender as a baby's...

But his left half of the body, from his calf to his face, was covered with horrific old burn marks.

This is the indelible pain he suffered after the nuclear explosion...

"Pooh!"

Li Tianhan slowly stood up, lowered his head and smiled:
"Ghost Eyes, who can look up at you like this? If you were any shorter... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you!"

"Hahahaha~"

After saying this, Li Tianhan laughed uncontrollably.

With Li Tianhan's height of just over two meters, the ghost-eyed boy was only up to his knees.

But at this moment, Li Tianhan was covered in blood and in a listless state.

In comparison, the ghost-eyed old monster was able to handle it with ease.

"You are still stubborn even when death is imminent?"

“Haha… But your body cannot be wasted. After I annihilate your soul, I will send your body of Heavenly Thunder to the Puppet Hall and make it into a puppet!”

The ghost-eyed old monster laughed grimly, his voice sounding sinister.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned an evil ghost and pounced towards Li Tianhan.

At this moment, Li Tianhan had already begun to have the thought of committing suicide.

Even if he dies, this body cannot be made into a puppet to help the devil...

Thinking of this, Li Tianhan raised his hand high, trying to attract thunder from the sky to strike himself to death.

at this time……

Suddenly he saw that the twenty-one flying swords were flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The light produced by the rapid movement of true energy even made Li Tianhan think he was having an illusion.

"Is it... an illusion?"

Li Tianhan stared, watching the flying sword approaching rapidly.

At this moment, it was not only Li Tianhan who discovered the abnormality, but the old monster with ghost eyes also felt the fluctuation of the breath behind him.

Subconsciously, he pushed his body-protecting true energy to its limit and summoned a Jindan ghost to stand in front of him.

I saw a flying sword coming at me at full speed, breaking the defense of the ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage with one sword.

Three swords severely damaged the ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage, and seven swords killed the ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage.

A look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the ghost-eyed old monster, "Who is it..."

However, the flying sword was so fast that he had no time to stop it.

After the Ghost Pill Stage ghost that he had painstakingly refined was killed, ripples began to appear in the Ghost Eyed Monster's protective true energy.

One sword, three swords, ten swords...fourteen swords!

The fourteen flying swords forced the ghost-eyed monster to retreat step by step. He had to use his body-protecting true energy to block the flying swords.

When the Ghost Eyed Old Monster was entangled by the flying sword, Lin Chen moved...

His figure was like a ghost, crossing a distance of a hundred feet in an instant.

Then he grabbed Li Tianhan and ran another three hundred feet away.

The whole movement was smooth and flowing, and with Lin Chen's martial arts level, it didn't even take him a second to cover the thousand-meter distance.

"Cough cough~"

Li Tianhan, who was held in Lin Chen's hand, coughed violently a few times, and the air brought by the rapid running poured into his throat.

Li Tianhan forced himself to open his eyes, and when he saw Lin Chen beside him, his face immediately showed joy.

"Friend Xu! Why are you here?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Li Tianhan, who looked weak.

His injuries were too severe at this moment. If he didn't receive treatment quickly, his journey would be affected.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen flicked his fingers and several pills floated in front of him.

"We'll talk later. You should heal your wounds as soon as possible..."

Li Tianhan also knew the situation was urgent and said quickly:
"Okay! Brother Xu, hold on for a while... I'll fight this old monster with ghost eyes after I recover my strength!"

After saying that, Li Tianhan swallowed the pill into his stomach, and a fierce fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chen slowly stood up, flew a hundred feet away, and faced the ghost-eyed boy.

"Haha, old monster with ghost eyes. Long time no see... How have you been recently?" Lin Chen's voice was loud and could be heard within dozens of miles.

The ghost-eyed old monster circulated his body-protecting true energy and barely managed to knock all the twenty-one flying swords away.

With a look of vigilance in his eyes, he looked at Lin Chen and said:

"Who are you?"

"How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Puppet Hall!?"

Lin Chen sneered and did not answer. He waved his hand and took back the twenty-one flying swords.

After seeing the gap on the flying sword, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

After all, these flying swords are only top-grade magic weapons, and they are a bit difficult to use against the ghost-eyed monster.

The old monster with ghost eyes also noticed this and grinned:
"Hehe, your sword-wielding skills are really good. You are qualified to fight me..."

"But now, your flying sword is destroyed. Let's see what you can use to fight me!"

After saying that, the ghost-eyed old monster slapped the gourd on his waist, and two streams of purple mist came out of the gourd.

In an instant, two more evil ghost beasts in the Ghost Pill Stage appeared, baring their fangs and waving their claws behind the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster.

The two evil ghosts looked extremely terrifying, with green faces and fangs, and were about ten feet tall. They were surrounded by black and purple auras, and their breath was unpredictable.

"Only twenty-one top-grade magical instruments..."

Lin Chen burst into laughter.

With a wave of his hand, he took out twenty-one flying knives from the storage magic weapon.

Compared with flying swords, Lin Chen is better at using knives, which is closely related to his learning of the sword-shaking technique.

These twenty-one top-grade magical flying knives are exactly the same in style and appearance.

When the ghost-eyed old monster saw the new flying knife, his pupils suddenly shrank.

A top-grade magic weapon is nothing to a Jindan cultivator.

But twenty-one flying knives have formed a set, and when used to perform the art of spirit control, the effect is doubled.

"Heh...so what if there are flying knives?"

"I, Ghost Eye, have been roaming Qingzhou for hundreds of years and have never been afraid of anyone!"

The ghost-eyed old monster laughed grimly, then drove two green-faced, fang-toothed evil ghosts towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was not panicked at all. With a wave of his hand, twenty-one flying knives slashed out again and fought with the two evil ghosts.

Ghosts are somewhere between real and fake, and it is difficult to harm them with ordinary means.

But the cultivator's true energy can hurt ghosts, plus the advantage of the flying knife.

For a moment, the two evil ghosts in the Ghost Pill Stage were suppressed by the flying knives.

Seeing this, the old ghost frowned, "This spiritual control technique is really a bit tricky..."

After saying that, the ghost-eyed old monster took off his clothes, revealing his upper body covered with scars.

Half of his body was covered in burns, while the other half was white and tender, which made him look even more horrifying.

But on that skin, there were tattoos of several evil spirits.

These evil ghosts are the result of hundreds of years of accumulation and painstaking sacrifice by the old monster Guimu.

It’s my natal ghost!

"The soul and life are in agreement, the ghosts give orders!"

"Nail Swamp Devil, come out!"
