The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 287 Daoist Master, Let Me Loosen Your Bones (Fourth Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
boom! ! !
Upon seeing the changes in the formation, Zhou Yan made his move. His three-pointed double-edged sword, imbued with fierce killing intent, slashed fiercely at the formation, intending to use the techniques personally passed down by Ji Xuanyuan and Chi You to break the formation and directly tear it apart.

Breaking the formation means simply breaking the formation itself.

However, when the weapons collided with the blue brick ground, a layer of golden fire exploded.

The blade of the three-pointed double-edged sword hummed violently, and Zhou Yan's hand was numb from the recoil.

Unbreakable.

The corpses and bodies of those he killed had long since turned into blood and been swallowed up.

"Even our own people have become nourishment for the formation?! This shows that they even anticipated the possibility of the formation being destroyed..."

"That's true. He was not only Fuxi's opponent, but also targeted by Zhuge Liang."

"Therefore, it is only natural to have this level of caution and contingency plans."

As Zhou Yan watched the changes in the formation, the Earth Soul Sky Tilt in his hand transformed into a three-pointed double-edged sword to stabilize the ground. He sighed. To some extent, Zhou Yan had a strong feeling that he had been rescued just to clean up the messes of his ancestors.

What does it mean to say you're awake?

Your opponent is an enemy whose hatred has been fully aroused by Yu the Great and whose enemies are constantly evolving under the confrontation between Fuxi and Zhuge Liang.
That was really exciting!

Zhou Yan couldn't help but spit.

"Clean up the messes of past sages... that's a really tough job."

"...Wait a minute, could it be that Fuxi got tired of this job and pulled me over to work overtime for him?!"

Although this is incredible, if we replace the person involved with Fuxi, then everything becomes perfectly reasonable.

In short, regardless of the reason, Fuxi should take the blame.

This is a debt.

I've written it down!
At that moment, even with her eyes closed, Qingzhu felt the almost tangible pressure of death. She tensed up and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's happening? Can I open my eyes?"

With a flourish of his three-pointed double-edged sword, Zhou Yan unleashed a magnificent move that swept through the air, dispersing and cleaving away the residual energy of the surrounding array. He then said "Excuse me," grabbed Qingzhu's slender waist, and leaped into the air, heading outwards to attack.

Zhou Yan's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Keep your eyes closed."

"That way, I won't feel embarrassed looking at your face."

He was joking.

This also serves to attract Kai Qingzhu's attention.

Qingzhu blushed and, as expected, stopped asking.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath. The fact that he would become a firefighter for his ancestors suppressed the helplessness deep in his eyes, replaced by a rock-solid determination, and his voice was gentle:
"Now that I'm here, you're safe. You can rest assured."

"Oh, okay, sure."

The little fox, Qingzhu, kept her eyes tightly closed, but instinctively gripped Zhou Yan's collar, her heart pounding rapidly.

But he didn't know whether his heart was pounding so fast because of the uncontrollable excitement or because of the fear of being in this dangerous place.

Zhou Yan rescued Qingzhu, the last descendant of the Qingqiu Kingdom.

Upon seeing the formation activated again, he was already thinking of leaving. Relying on his own martial arts skills, he continuously flew through the air. However, he regretted that his mana bar was too short and there were no earth veins or water veins to support him here.

There wasn't even time to open the altar.

Playing entirely away from home, they can only rely on themselves.

This place is the ground floor of the central pavilion in Langzhong. Just as Zhou Yan was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of mechanisms changing. Even with his level of cultivation, he could feel a killing intent locking onto him.

Zhou Yan shifted his position, using the technique of multiple lamp shadows to disappear to one side.

The three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand was plunged directly into the wall. One hand was wrapped around the green pearl, and the other hand was gripping the weapon. The earth veins here were greatly suppressed, and some ancient being existed beneath this place.

Zhou Yan didn't use any spells, but spoke calmly and in a clear, cold voice.

"wind."

One word is law!
In an instant, a whirlwind exploded around the young Taoist. The wind was extremely fast and burst forth instantly, transforming into a gigantic eye of the whirlwind. Zhou Yan used this to lift himself into the air, intending to leave, but suddenly his expression changed.

A tremendous gravitational pull, supporting this body.

Gravity, like an invisible giant hand from the deepest abyss, gripped Zhou Yan, trying to pull him and Qingzhu down together. Zhou Yan looked down and saw that the formation had been partially activated—not the same kind of formation as before.

It is the opponent's second backup plan, similar to a self-destruct program.

After a long standoff with Zhuge Liang, this was the necessary arrangement.

The bricks, which originally had bronze patterns, lit up with ripples, then collapsed and turned into an abyss, where a thick darkness, invisible to the naked eye, surged.

"...If we follow the game logic that 'if you don't encounter any monsters, you must be on the wrong path,' then I guess I just stumbled upon their vital spot by sheer accident?"

Despite being pulled by such a tremendous force, Lord Zhou still had the mind to mock himself.

But it makes sense.

As a rare descendant of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Zhou Yan was naturally brought here. Following the green pearl, he aimed directly at the vital core of the other side and chiseled in.

"I really don't know whether to say I'm lucky or unlucky."

"Or rather, if luck is good to a certain extent, it's no different from being extremely bad?"

Just then, Qingzhu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Zhou, those lines down there look like they want to suck my blood..."

Zhou Yan noticed a prominent blood vessel on one side of the girl's fair skin.

Looking down, he saw that in the darkness of the abyss beneath his feet, the bronze array patterns, like living blood vessels, pulsed slightly in response to Qingzhu's words. An ancient intent, filled with the meaning of "sacrifice" and "unsealing," coiled around him like a cold, venomous snake.

"It seems that the original sealing formation has been distorted and altered. Even if Qingzhu hadn't stumbled upon this place, she would have been captured."

"...powerful, possessing the energy of both water and earth veins."

"The escape technique has been nullified."

"However, who told you that my method of breaking the formation requires the flow of the five elements?"

Zhou Yan stopped trying to fight the omnipresent gravity and instead used the momentum of his fall to slam his three-pointed double-edged sword into a seemingly unrelated blue brick to the side.

"Cut it off!"

The blade tip contained not brute force, but a precise burst of energy. With a soft thud, the blue brick shattered, and the surrounding surging gravitational field momentarily froze. Zhou Yan, holding the green pearl in one hand and a weapon in the other, moved swiftly across the area.

They forcefully severed and broke through various array nodes.

efficient!

But this joy lasted only a moment. The core of the formation seemed to be enraged, unleashing a furious backlash accompanied by roars and howls like dragons and tsunamis! Countless arrows of light appeared out of thin air, sealing off all his escape routes. Zhou Yan vanished into the shadows.

These light arrows failed to pierce Zhou Yan, but instead struck the top of the building directly. With a rumbling sound, the multi-layered pavilion collapsed and crashed down towards Zhou Yan and Qing Zhu, who had reappeared.

Zhongtian Tower, also known as Sipai Tower, is the foremost of all the towers in Langzhong. At this moment, the upper part of it was pierced by the light arrow and completely collapsed, revealing the moonlight and mist. The mist swirled, and the moonlight shone down like jade.

Zhou Yan noticed that the fox-girl in his arms was extremely nervous, her body trembling slightly.

Under the moonlight, the ears, which were originally fiery red, gradually faded and turned into a clear white like the moonlight. The seals and restrictions placed on Qingzhu's body were broken, revealing the characteristics of the true bloodline of the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox.

Langzhong is a city built entirely on feng shui principles.

If they want the blood of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, then they absolutely cannot let Qingzhu fall into their hands. Moreover, Qingzhu is also their friend; how can they sit idly by?!
Zhou Yan's mind raced, and he made up his mind.

………………

Qingzhu was so frightened that she could no longer control herself.

She was just an ordinary little fox who was adopted by her grandmother when she was young. She accompanied her grandmother on her travels, listening to her stories, customs, and human relationships, and witnessing all sorts of things in the world. However, she was puzzled by her grandmother's constant longing for the swordsman named Li Bai.

Later, outside Chang'an, in Zhang Shoutian's hometown, I met that young knight-errant and began to understand the true nature of humanity. I realized he was a wonderful person, but that was all he was.

This time, she was fortunate enough to see Zhou Yan again on the Jialing River. She was excited about the reunion and came to Langzhong to wait for him. However, she encountered this situation while out buying some antiques. Now she was being held by the young Taoist priest. Although she had her eyes tightly closed, she knew that the situation was not good.

She was filled with fear and terror, and clung tightly to Zhou Yan's arm.

Finally, she couldn't help but open her eyes. Looking at Zhou Yan, who was so close to her, and seeing the rubble floating in the air, the collapsed blue bricks below, and the seemingly endless darkness below, her face turned pale: "Am I...are we going to fall down together?! Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Yan looked at the pale-faced fox girl and said:

"No."

"I'm the one who wants to get off."

Qingzhu was stunned: "What!?"

At the same time, Zhou Yan gripped the hilt of the three-pointed double-edged sword and gave it a sudden jolt. The sword, like a spring, bent and sprang up. Holding Qingzhu, Zhou Yan channeled all his magical power to resist the immense gravitational pull and rose into the air.

Without being connected to the earth's veins, it is difficult to use Nuwa's escape technique.

Moreover, even if she used that escape technique, Qingzhu's current physical body would be unable to withstand it and would be severely injured under the terrifying pressure. Zhou Yan could only use this method. However, when he leaped up, the formation swirled, and endless light arrows condensed out of thin air, locking onto them tightly.

"It's over..."

Qingzhu stared at the arrows of light that blotted out the sky, her face drained of color.

Zhou Yan's mind stirred, and he had already found a way to break the deadlock. The young Taoist laughed and said, "It seems that strict family discipline has its advantages. At least it has forced me to learn how to get beaten most effectively."

"I remember keeping my eyes closed the whole time."

He suddenly pulled Qingzhu tightly into his arms, turning his back to the destructive stream of light!

The sound of an arrow piercing flesh exploded.

Even though it's an avatar, most of its energy is concentrated here, so being pierced like this would still hurt a lot.

Zhou Yan's vision went black, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently from extreme pain. He could almost hear the sound of his avatar's foundation shattering.

Damn it, hold on, my avatar! Don't scatter here!

withstand!

Zhou Yan's cheek twitched, and his own Dao foundation began to operate wildly—

Taoist cultivation techniques, reaching a state of primordial chaos!
Yin and Yang flow and change, how can they be the same? What attacks me is Yang, but turns into Yin.

That destructive energy, powerful enough to pierce through metal, was forcibly twisted within his meridians, transforming into a gentle yet resilient pushing force. He looked down at the terrified, tearful eyes of the girl in his arms, his voice still calm and smiling, carrying both approval and amusement:
"White Hair is the best!"

A joke with a teasing tone.

The next moment, he released his grip and unleashed the soft energy he had transformed from his entire body without reservation.

"Walk--!"

Unfortunately, the fact that force is mutual is always useful.

Zhou Yan plummeted downwards.

Before Qingzhu could react, she saw Zhou Yan use his back to block the arrow, which pierced the young Taoist's chest. She was then thrown into the air, and the eaves of Zhongtian Tower were shattered by the arrow, which pierced the clear moonlight.

The fox-girl stared wide-eyed as she watched the Taoist priest, riddled with arrows, fall downwards under the moonlight.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!"

boom! ! !
The formation unfolded, Zhou Yan fell, and Zhongtian Tower was also enveloped by a force, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

At the same time, Zhou Yan stopped resisting the gravitational pull of the formation.

He raised his hand and grabbed the three-pointed, double-edged knife.

With this kind of reaction, you've come to the right place.

Zhou Yan stared intently into the depths of the formation—the bloodline of the Qingqiu lineage was being sent out. These guys' plan to kill Qingzhu, refine the bloodline of the Qingqiu fox clan, and break the seal on King Yu and his wife had been completely thwarted.

In the end, what remained was merely an incarnation of Zhou Yan.

He shook his neck, gripped his weapon, and focused his gaze on the formation beneath.

There's no escaping this godforsaken place!

In that case, let's not run away!

The underlying logic and mindset of the Yanhuang lineage is either to take a step back and see the bigger picture, or to screw everything and flip the table. Currently, Lord Zhou has entered the second stage.

The sound of the wind in his ears seemed to transform into countless ancient roars. He gripped his three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly, his eyes burning not with despair, but with a fierce fighting spirit.

It hurts, so be it!

Can a person really die from pain?

The Qingqiu bloodline has been safely sent away, the enemy's conspiracy has been thwarted, and the deceased is safe. Now, he is not a firefighter who was forced into the situation, but a vanguard who actively steps into the dragon's den to break through the formation.

"After so many years of solitary confinement, has your brain been dulled?"

"Old thing!"

He laughed loudly into the darkness below:
"Today, let your Taoist priest come and loosen your muscles and bones!"

"The earth's essence collapses and the sky tilts."

"Give it to me, big one!!!"
