The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 42
The old man sat upright in the air, patted his waist, and a shining talisman appeared in his withered hand.

There is a blue jade ruler painted in the middle of the talisman.

It’s just a talisman!
The talisman is extremely powerful, but it takes time to activate.

Therefore, he activated all the defensive talismans on his body, and the six defenses surrounded him into a colorful ball of light.

As the old man flew back, Zhou Xun continued to cast spells.

The four flaming flying swords merged into one, forming a red giant sword dozens of feet high.

With even greater power, he slashed towards the old man.

Like the weight of Mount Tai, the shadow of the giant sword enveloped the old man.The sword light fell, and strong winds were whipped up out of thin air, sweeping away from the sword light to all directions.

The surrounding dozens of tall trees were blown down one after another.

Zhou Xun was also dumbfounded. This was the first time he used the move Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One. He didn't expect it to be so powerful.

With this technique, he was not afraid at all even when facing late-stage Foundation Establishment monks.

"呲"

A loud bang.

The sword light struck the light shield with great force, breaking five light shields in a row, and finally struck the white shield.

The old man's figure fell directly from the air and hit the ground hard, raising smoke and dust several feet high.

The defensive power of this white shield was astonishing, and it actually defended the giant sword.

However, there was a sword mark several inches deep in the middle of the shield. It had no aura and was already scrapped.

After the giant sword chopped down the old man, it immediately dissipated and turned into four flaming flying swords again, surrounding the old man.

The old man had no defense at all, and the door was wide open.

As long as his mind moves, he can kill this old man.

"Put away your magic power, don't resist, maybe I can spare your life," Zhou Xun said with a cold voice, expressionless.

The old man laughed when he heard this, coughed up blood and said:
"In my Chen family, there are only immortal cultivators who died in battle, and no cowards who surrendered."

As he spoke, he fired out the spell, trying to activate the interrupted talisman.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun snorted coldly. Without hesitation, he raised his sword finger with his left hand and waved it forward.

laugh--
The sword light flashed, and the old man could not avoid it, and was pierced by several sword lights on the spot.

A monk in the middle stage of foundation building, an old man in gray clothes, died.

Zhou Xun walked to the old man and picked up the storage bag on his waist and the sapphire ruler talisman.

Looking at the broken body of the old man, he said softly:

"He's quite a man of character."

After saying this, a fireball turned it into ashes.

Not far away, the Nine Sons Circle Magical Artifact and the Round Wheel Magical Artifact also lost their owners.Lost control and fell to the ground.

Zhou Xun walked over, picked it up, and put it into his storage bag.

Then he walked to the big man's body and put away the storage bag returned to him and the flying magic weapon that fell on the ground.

"I wanted to spare your life, but I couldn't bear to be blessed. After all, you have done things for me, so I won't hold you accountable for your past. Let you rest in peace."

As he spoke, he cast a spell and dug a hole in the ground.Kick all the corpses of the big man into the pit, and then use magic to fill the pit.

In the magic circle, the old man with a long beard was tied into a rice dumpling.

Zhou Xun stood in front of this person, tapped his fingertips, and placed several restrictions on this person. It was not until the old man could no longer use any spiritual power that he nodded with satisfaction and stopped moving.

Then he took off the storage bag from his waist without counting it.

The magic circle was collected and the cave was destroyed.Then he summoned the shoebill stork, carried the old man and jumped onto the bird's back.

The huge wings flap, whipping up gusts of wind.The big bird rose up and flew toward the southeast.

After flying nearly a thousand miles, Zhou Xun found a valley to land in.A "Big Five Elements Diamond Formation" was set up around the area, then a clearing was cleared and the old man was put down.

"Fellow Taoist, your actions are truly impeccable," Zhou Xun praised.

"He captured a monk in the Qi training stage as a foundation builder, and actually arranged for a monk in the middle stage to take care of him."

He also secretly admired the old man's behavior.He didn't worry about victory but defeat, and had planned his retreat in advance.

If it hadn't been for him, other ordinary foundation-building monks would have been filled with hatred on the spot.

If nothing else, just say that the old man's sword in front of him was soaring into the sky, even a mid-term monk would not be able to catch it.

And the fallen old man in gray clothes, who didn't know what kind of concealment skills he had practiced, actually sneaked under his nose and gave him a hard blow.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to activate that defensive weapon, and if his master hadn't given him the inner armor, he would have perished.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun secretly made up his mind.In future battles, you must first defend yourself.The techniques in this world of cultivating immortals are full of strange things.If you are not careful, you can easily fall into the trap of others.

The old man laughed at himself when he heard this, "So what if I act carefully, I just fell into the hands of a young boy like you."

Zhou Xun was not angry when the old man called him "yellow-mouthed boy" and just looked at him with a smile.

"My fellow Taoist fell into my hands this time. His life and death depended on my thoughts. You dare to offend me like this. You are really a man of courage. I really admire you."

The old man snorted softly and said:
"I, a monk from the Chen family, have always been strong-willed. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, just act. If you want me to stay low and be a coward, it is absolutely impossible."

When Zhou Xun heard this, he smiled sarcastically, then his face turned cold and he said sternly:

"If your Chen family is really so righteous, why would you offer such a reward to my father and son? We have already fled far away from the country, why are we still pursuing them?"

The Chen family must have a secret for going to war and offering a reward.

If there is an enmity, why do we need to capture him alive? Wouldn't it be better to kill him directly?Moreover, the reward is so heavy that it can almost equal the entire net worth of a foundation-building monk.

The Chen family must want something from themselves.

The old man laughed when he heard this:

"Hahaha, you don't know why there is a reward, you don't know, hahaha"

"If you tell me the whole story, I can consider letting you go back," Zhou Xun seduced him.

The old man said nothing and looked at Zhou Xun with a mocking look on his face.

Zhou Xun still had a smiling expression.road:

"Fellow Taoist is not afraid of life and death, which is admirable, but it is easy to seek death yourself, but why don't you think about your family?"

His tone paused slightly, and then he said:

"The fallen mid-term monk is the head of your Chen family, right? There are three foundation-building monks in your Chen family. Now that the head of the family has died in battle, you have fallen into my hands again, and one person is still missing."

"Without the foundation-building monks in Yunman Mountain, I don't know what the consequences will be. As far as I know, the Zhao family, the Jiang family, and your Chen family are not as harmonious as the rumors outside."

The old man hesitated when he heard the words, but then returned to normal. Seeing his righteousness, he said:
"My Chen family has its own way of dealing with it, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Fellow Taoist is really open-minded." Then the conversation changed.

"Do you know why you have already reached the foundation building level after two years?"

The old man was shocked when he first met Zhou Xun. How could a boy who was only at the seventh level of qi training two years ago become a foundation-building monk.

"Because I have Tianlinggen and am the direct disciple of the ancestor Linghu of Huang Maple Valley," Zhou Xun asked and answered.

"Your Chen family is offering a bounty to a Nascent Soul disciple. I wonder what my master will do if he learns about this. Will this divine weapon sect be able to stop the wrath of a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk for you?"

"It was your Chen family who provoked this matter first!"

The more Zhou Xun talked, the louder he became, and by the end he was drinking loudly.

The old man's face changed greatly when he heard this.

"It turns out. It turns out that you are the newly recruited Tianlinggen disciple of Huang Maple Valley."

Then a look of struggle appeared on his face, which finally turned into a long sigh,
"That's all, I'll tell you."
