Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 315 Killing Old Dog Yi
The patriarch of the Yi family is currently located in the Shallow Sky Sea.

This area was originally just a public sea area north of Tingtaohai, but now, for the sake of better coordination, it has been included in the Shallow Sky Sea area.

Currently, the Cangming Immortal Sect and Qianji Valley are working together to contain the sea race and defend the right flank of the human race.

With the help of several fourth-order grand formations that were initially set up by the five major sects.

Furthermore, with the main forces of the sea tribe tied up near Pudu Temple, the situation has been stabilized for the time being.

Although a large number of spirit stones are needed every day to maintain the operation of the formation.

However, with the reserves accumulated by the sect over the years, it is not a problem in the short term.

I'm always careful with my money so that I can have it saved up for emergencies like this.

As the patriarch of the Yi family was, after all, a member of the Cangming Immortal Sect, he was now responsible for presiding over one of the fourth-order formations and responding to the actions of the other True Monarchs.

At this time, he naturally couldn't leave quietly; he needed to at least explain his whereabouts in advance.

So after receiving the telepathic sword, he patiently waited until the next morning.

After the surge of spiritual energy, the sea creatures ended another round of routine raids.

The Yi family patriarch then took the initiative to approach True Lord Iron Fan: "Sect Leader, I received a message from home that I have some personal matters that I urgently need to return to handle."

"The problem isn't too complicated; I'll be right back."

"I'll have to trouble you two to work hard for the next two days."

He is certainly older than Iron Fan Zhenjun.

However, the custom of the Cangming Immortal Sect is that the cultivator who becomes the sect leader automatically becomes the senior brother among the cultivators of the same generation, regardless of their original seniority.

"Has something urgent happened?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Iron Fan frowned slightly: "Should we inform the fellow Daoists of Thousand Machine Valley and have Junior Brother Silver Hair accompany us?"

"So that they can look out for each other?"

The Yi family patriarch naturally refused decisively: "Alas, it's just a troublesome matter at home. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Sect Leader, but there's no need to make a big fuss."

"I'll handle it myself when I get back."

His purpose in going back was actually to arrest Xiao Chen, but this was something that couldn't be discussed openly, nor could it be done with others.

"In that case, junior brother must be extra careful."

Iron Fan True Lord specifically instructed: "The current situation is chaotic and different from the past. We must pay special attention to the hidden troubles caused by transformed great demons such as Golden Phoenix."

The two exchanged a few more polite greetings.

The patriarch of the Yi family then took his leave and hurriedly returned home.

After he left, the Silver-Haired True Monarch, who had arrived midway, revealed his displeasure: "Senior Brother, the Yi family's actions are becoming more and more blatant."

"Forming cliques, appointing relatives and friends, embezzling resources, and monopolizing spiritual materials."

"Many clues even point to the fact that some members of the Yi family are still harming their fellow disciples."

"Now even those who are holding the fortified position are finding excuses to leave. This can't be allowed to continue like this."

Iron Fan Zhenjun was actually aware of the good deeds that the Yi family had been doing recently.

But as usual, he reassured his brother, "Junior brother is right, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Right now is the time when we need manpower, so we should consider the overall situation."

"The sea creatures are coming in with great force, and every True Lord is crucial at this time."

"As you know, there are just too many fourth-tier demons, and Pudu Temple is under a lot of pressure."

"We should try our best to help share the burden so that we can buy time to adjust."

"As for the Yi family, if Junior Brother Yi can hold out until after the war, it will not be too late to discuss their merits and demerits."

As the sect leader, Iron Fan Zhenjun was still considering the overall gains and losses. In order to win over the Yi family patriarch to help with the work, he chose to continue to turn a blind eye to the Yi family's situation.

Yinhao Zhenjun did not quite agree with this.

However, it's difficult to refute this, since the current situation of the Compassionate Ocean is indeed quite dire.

The defection of the Zhaokong faction has left the entire left flank besieged on both sides, while the Yuntao Sword Pavilion on the south side is also being held back by the giant octopus.

Many Buddhist monks suffered heavy losses in the sneak attack and are now all gathered at Pudu Temple.

The entire Compassionate Ocean is basically out of manpower.

"Oh~!"

Yinhao Zhenjun sighed, turned around and flew towards the front formation: "I'll go patrol outside for two more rounds."

"I hope Senior Brother Yi can come back soon."

With one less person, maintaining the formation becomes much more difficult.

Fortunately, even though the sea tribe discovered that a human True Monarch had seemingly disappeared, they dared not act rashly without concrete intelligence.

Charging rashly into the formation could lead to an ambush and disaster.

However, gradually increasing the pressure of attacks and frequent probing are inevitable, so they've been quite busy these past two days.

Iron Fan True Monarch was already somewhat worried, and upon hearing this, he turned his head to look in the direction where the Yi family patriarch had left.

Acting alone during this period would be extremely unwise.

Those few Zen masters in Buddhism suffered because they went their own way.

However, the patriarch of the Yi family was unwilling to travel with others, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The words are divided into two parts.

The Shallow Sky Sea is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Azure Sea, and even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would need a certain amount of time to reach it.

So for the next few days, Xiao Chen lay on the beach sunbathing, waiting for the Yi family patriarch to come to him.

Since we don't know exactly when the other party will arrive.

He also couldn't take the opportunity to cultivate, lest it cause abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy.

"Ugh, this is so boring."

Xiao Chen rolled over forcefully on the beach, turning his back up so that he could tan more evenly.

In the warm and cozy atmosphere, he almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound came from afar.

"coming?"

Xiao Chen immediately perked up and jumped up, only to see that it was actually a huge seabird swooping down.

It opened its mouth wide, as if trying to swallow him whole.

"Bang! Crack!"

Xiao Chen didn't use any magic; he simply relied on his powerful physique to defeat this idiot in two moves.

Then, with swift movements, it tore open its belly, stuffed in a large rock from the island, and threw it into the sea on the spot.

They also buried the spilled demon blood and feathers on the spot.

"Oh dear, it's really not easy to prepare a surprise."

After cleaning up the mess, Xiao Chen looked expectantly at the horizon again: "Old dog Yi, you must come! Don't let my efforts go to waste."

Perhaps his intentions were too sincere.

A small black dot suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

As the blue light rapidly approached, it gradually became clear that it was a human figure.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Old Dog Yi!

"The curtain falls over the sky, swiftly!"

The moment the two met, a talisman flew out first.

It immediately turned into several wisps of smoke, automatically locking onto Xiao Chen, who was closest to it.

The seemingly gentle smoke felt incredibly heavy on the skin.

They immediately tied him up tightly.

"Hmph, Xiao Chen, you've finally met your match."

The Yi family patriarch stood in mid-air: "You didn't expect this, did you? It's me who's here."

"How's it going? Are you surprised or surprised?"

This time, he learned from his previous experience and simply abandoned the commonly used "Dragon Emerging from the Water" move, choosing instead to directly activate the talisman to restrict Xiao Chen's movements.

I don't believe this little brat can run away.

However, the Yi family patriarch did not see the expected panic on Xiao Chen's face.

Even though he was restricted by the talisman, he remained calm.

He even gave a strange look.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for days."

A smile gradually spread across Xiao Chen's face: "Actually, I wasn't injured at all. I was just kidding!"

what?
Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Yi family turned pale with anger.

He quickly made a connection and cautiously looked around: "Which fellow Daoist has come in person? Why don't you come out and have a chat?"

"Isn't it a bit undignified for a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord to hide his true self like this?"

As he spoke, he secretly used a secret technique to investigate the situation on the island.

At the same time, he kept an eye on Xiao Chen's actions.

In case this little brat was just bluffing him and actually trying to find a way to break free of the talisman and escape.

"There's no need to use reverse psychology; there are no outsiders here."

Having said that, Xiao Chen no longer concealed his aura, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul True Monarch poured out: "Didn't expect that, did you? I have already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm."

"How's it going? Are you surprised or surprised?"

The Yi family patriarch was indeed taken aback, after all, it had only been a little over a year since they last met.

In other words, not long after the two separated, Xiao Chen directly attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and succeeded.

That's a bit too fast.

However, after he searched the entire island using secret techniques, he discovered that there seemed to be no ambush on the island.

The Yi family patriarch couldn't help but feel a little surprised and uncertain: "You're the only one who came?"

Where are your elders?

Uneasy, he secretly activated a divine sense technique to re-examine the surroundings.

"Old dog, it's been a year. You haven't improved much in skill, but you've become much less daring."

Xiao Chen scoffed, "I told you, there are no outsiders here. Because I can handle you all by myself."

The patriarch of the Yi family turned a deaf ear.

After patiently waiting for the divine sense technique to finish its investigation, the look of surprise and doubt on his face finally faded: "So it really is just you alone?"

His gaze sharpened instantly, and a fierce look appeared on his face: "As expected, he's just an arrogant and ignorant brat!"

"You don't think that just because you've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, you're qualified to yell at me like that, do you?"

"It's simply overestimating one's abilities!"

"Today I'll show you that there are differences even among Nascent Soul cultivators!"

As he spoke, he summoned a bright pearl, and sixteen ice wheels, each resembling a full moon, immediately rose around him.

That wasn't all. As the Yi family patriarch chanted incantations, the pearl immediately emitted a dazzling light.

Those already enormous icy wheels appeared to grow even larger under the glow of the light.

Then, rotating simultaneously, it rolled in from all directions.

"Well done!"

Xiao Chen completely ignored the surrounding smoke, his left hand forming a hand seal, his right hand forming a palm: "Soaring Palm!"

Now that I've learned fourth-tier spells, I no longer need to passively defend myself like before.

Not to mention that the Crimson Sky Mountain-Splitting Palm is a fire-based technique, which counters the Ice Wheel, making it a perfect way to use offense as defense.

"Boom~!"

The collision of ice and fire immediately produced a massive explosion.

The sixteen ice wheels were instantly engulfed by the raging flames. The flames continued their relentless advance, hurtling straight towards the Yi family patriarch and crashing into his spiritual shield.

"Boom boom boom~!"

The immense impact caused the spiritual energy barrier to tremble violently, and even resulted in several tiny cracks appearing.

"Fourth-tier fire magic!"

The Yi family patriarch's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him: "You've actually mastered fourth-order fire magic?"

He had long heard that cultivators who pursue the path of enlightenment become stronger the further they progress.

But no one expected that Xiao Chen would have such superb skills on the Path of Fire.

He had only broken through to the Nascent Soul stage a few days ago, yet he was already able to use a fourth-order fire technique.

Moreover, its power is in no way inferior to its own Frost Moon Burial Wheel.

It should be noted that although his strength has declined due to his advanced age, he has still mastered this spell to a high degree.

Within the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, they are definitely among the top.

However, when the two sides clashed, he actually suffered a loss.

If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it!
"Good lad, if you are given more time to grow stronger, I'm afraid I really won't be your match."

After all, the patriarch of the Yi family had lived for over a thousand years, and after a brief moment of shock, he quickly calmed down.

He regained his composure: "It's a pity that although you have good talent, you are far too arrogant!"

"You just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, how many strands of true essence have you condensed now?"

The patriarch of the Yi family flicked his wrist and took out a stack of talismans: "These fourth-order talismans were originally intended to deal with the great sea monsters."

"But today, you're just unlucky!"

As he spoke, he scattered the talismans in his hand one by one.

In an instant, different Five Elements spells took turns attacking Xiao Chen.

These spells are individually less powerful than Ice Wheel, but they are numerous.

The Yi family patriarch's idea was simple: to use talismans to deplete Xiao Chen's limited true essence.

"Boom! Boom!... Boom!"

Moments later, the towering sea of ​​fire had completely covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

As the talismans in his hand ran out, the Yi family patriarch's expression changed again, because Xiao Chen still seemed to have energy left, showing no signs of exhaustion.

He finally realized something was wrong: "Impossible, your true energy should have been used up long ago!"

As a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, he knew all too well how long it took for a Nascent Soul cultivator to condense a new strand of true essence.

The two had only been apart for a little over a year, and Xiao Chen needed to spend at least ten months in the process of forming his Nascent Soul.

Even if all the remaining time were spent condensing true essence, it should have been completely used up by now.

How could it be possible to last so long?
This is totally against common sense!

Xiao Chen stepped out of the sea of ​​fire, one step at a time: "Old dog Yi, you don't think everyone is as useless as you, do you?"

"It's so difficult to condense true essence. As a result, even at his advanced age, he can't even reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"To tell you the truth, I can condense a new true essence in a day."

"Although the total amount is not much, it is more than enough to take your dog's life."

Upon hearing this, the Yi family patriarch's pupils suddenly contracted: "Nonsense, how could this be!"

Logically speaking, he simply cannot accept this situation.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had never heard of anyone being able to condense a strand of true essence in a single day.

But what is happening right now is undoubtedly the most powerful evidence.

Firstly, Xiao Chen had only recently broken through to the next level, that much is certain.

Secondly, so many talismans were used up, and it would be impossible to do this without nearly a hundred strands of true essence.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Yi family finally felt a trace of fear.

What kind of being did he provoke?
Immediately following was a deep sense of regret.

If he had known it would end like this, he shouldn't have chosen Xiao Chen as the material in the first place.

Not only did this fail to prolong his life, but it also caused him to offend a Nascent Soul True Monarch for no reason.

I really lost my wife and broke down!
Nevertheless, the patriarch of the Yi family still maintained restraint.

He suddenly looked behind Xiao Chen and shouted, "Please, senior brother, lend me your help!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and left, using all his strength to activate his escape light in an attempt to flee.

"It's too late to run now!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen immediately activated his escape technique to give chase.

Before his breakthrough, he was only slightly slower than the Yi family patriarch.

Now, with its speed greatly increased, it has directly overtaken others and is much faster.

In just a few breaths, he blocked the other party's path: "Old dog, you can't escape today."

The patriarch of the Yi family was startled by what he saw, but he was too busy escaping to think about it.

He immediately threw out a lightning ball as cover.

He pulled a blue talisman from his pocket and stuck it on his body before turning around and continuing to run away in the opposite direction.

With the blessing of the talisman, his speed increased by a full 30%.

However, a moment later, Xiao Chen caught up again and blocked his way.

The old patriarch of the Yi family immediately turned pale and stopped walking.

"Oh, why did you stop running? You were running so fast just now!"

Xiao Chen sneered, "If you're so capable, keep running! I haven't had my fill yet, why are you so useless now?"

Upon hearing these familiar words, the Yi family patriarch immediately blushed.

However, it was already clear that even with the aid of talismans, his escape speed was no match for Xiao Chen's.

Continuing to flee would only bring further humiliation upon oneself.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to resolve this peacefully without paying some price.

The patriarch of the Yi family was quite decisive. He gritted his teeth and bit his own tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence.

Then he shouted loudly: "Return to Demon Blood Escape Secret Technique, swiftly!"

The essence blood immediately transformed into a ball of blood light, enveloping his entire body as he fled into the distance.

"Hmph, I told you, you can't escape today."

Xiao Chen sneered and stopped chasing. Instead, he pointed and said, "Mechanical grappling hook!"

Immediately, a grappling hook shot out at an even faster speed and grabbed the Yi family patriarch.

Then he pulled her in front of Xiao Chen.

At the same time, he clenched his fist and struck him squarely on the temple, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Whether it's a Golden Core cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, the mechanical grappling hook treats them all equally, stunning them for an instant.

This period of time may seem short, but it was enough for Xiao Chen to place the Soaring Palm on the opponent's dantian.

"Bang~!"

However, this palm strike felt as if it had struck steel.

The moment the Nascent Soul was threatened, the Yi family patriarch vanished into thin air.

Instead, a solid pillar of black iron, covered with many shimmering secret patterns, took the fatal blow in his place.

Although the black iron pillar was immediately deformed and shattered into several pieces.

However, the patriarch of the Yi family appeared a hundred feet away and woke up from his dizziness ahead of time.

Clearly, as a veteran True Lord, he possesses unique means of self-preservation and is not so easy to kill.

That's normal; after all, someone who's lived this long must have some skills.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao... wait a moment!"

Seeing that his trump card for survival had been used up, the Yi family patriarch finally felt a real sense of life-or-death crisis.

He immediately invoked the name of his sect: "I am the Supreme Elder of the Cangming Immortal Sect. Killing me will not do you any good."

At the same time, he didn't forget to offer enticement: "What I did before was indeed inappropriate."

"But I am willing to make amends. Just name your price for whatever you want."

"Anything I have, I can give to you."

However, Xiao Chen shook his head: "What I want is very simple, and that is your life."

The Yi family patriarch was taken aback upon hearing this, feeling that the words seemed somewhat familiar.

But he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He simply flipped his hands over and pulled out a blood-red sculpture.

Then, facing Xiao Chen directly, he threatened, "Xiao Chen, leaving yourself an out in life is for your own good!"

"You should have noticed by now that I have been practicing demonic secret techniques."

"Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you, this is a sacred artifact of the Demonic Sect!"

"If you insist on pushing me further and leave me no way out, then don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"

His voice trembled slightly, yet it revealed a hint of ruthlessness and certainty.

This was clearly not just a simple threat; they were genuinely prepared to fight to the death.

Xiao Chen didn't doubt that he was lying, but he didn't take it to heart: "Hahaha, old dog Yi, you're talking nonsense even when you're about to die."

"Then let me send you on your way!"

He then struck out with another palm strike.

The patriarch of the Yi family finally remembered that these two sentences were actually words he had said last time.

Now, Xiao Chen has returned them all intact.

But these words sounded so harsh to my ears.

"You are going too far!"

The patriarch of the Yi family roared angrily and immediately plunged the sculpture into his own heart.

He actually stabbed himself in the heart!

The already blood-red statue, nourished by the heart's blood, immediately shone with even greater brilliance.

It instantly split into eighteen pieces, each piece turning into a burst of bloody light.

It instantly enveloped Xiao Chen, completely dissolving him.

Of course, the reason why the Yi family patriarch did this was not to perish together with others.

He had already secretly swallowed a elixir to suppress his injuries.

Then, with great difficulty, he activated his escape technique, wanting to leave this place and go back to recuperate.

As for Xiao Chen?

He saw it clearly; he had already died beneath the sacred object.

However, just a quarter of an hour later, the patriarch of the Yi family had already fled thousands of miles away.

She even started to plan her next steps in healing.

"boom!"

Xiao Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and he pierced through Xiao Chen's dantian with a single palm strike.

The blazing flames instantly engulfed his nascent soul.

The old patriarch of the Yi family had a face full of questions, but he was speechless.

That sudden palm strike was truly deadly.

The attack location was too cunning; instead of targeting the head or chest, it landed directly on the dantian.

He didn't even have time to activate his nascent soul to escape.
