Chapter One, Exterminating Demons in the Mountains.

With a "thump" sound! The demon's figure solidified, and its body split into two pieces, falling from the sky. A torrential rain of green blood sprayed down, filling the air with a strong stench.

At the edge of the array, a white mist shot out, and after a quick turn, it transformed again into an old man with a terrified look on his face.

Immediately, a "sizzling" sound resounded!

Once he retrieves this item and refines it, he can further enhance his cultivation and advance to the perfect foundation establishment realm that surpasses even Muqiu Jing's level.

Unfortunately, this Blood Yuan Sword Talisman is worth ten pieces of Spirit Jade, making it the best cost-effective disposable attack talisman within the clan. It is far superior to ordinary magical instruments. However, once I return to the clan, I should be able to exchange this demon crystal for seven or eight pieces of Spirit Jade, in addition to the Spirit Jade rewards from this mission. It can be considered a small gain. This Wooden Kui Essence has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, with a strong physical body. If it weren't for setting up restrictions in advance, and deliberately choosing a place with a stream to enhance my Wan Chong Bi Bo technique, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to succeed.

He then put the two objects into his sleeve, took out a blue paper crane, threw it into the nearby stream, and chanted a spell.

The young man bit his tongue, and a mouthful of blood turned into a mist of blood, spraying onto the water ball.

The younger generation is only slightly proficient in arithmetic. In fact, the senior's chess skills are already quite strong.

"Mu Kuijing, since you reached the Foundation Establishment stage, in order to transform into human form, you have continuously devoured a total of twenty-seven households and one hundred and thirty-eight commoners within a radius of one hundred li around Qijian Mountain within three years. My Zhong family has already passed down the decree, and your crimes are unforgivable. You can be executed on the spot."

The wail of "Ah".

However, at this moment, the entire tree has completely turned into ashes.

Underneath the two individuals were each a light yellow cushion, and in the middle was a large boulder about ten feet in size. On top of the boulder were carved intersecting straight lines, and there were round black and white pieces placed on it. It was actually a huge chessboard.

A loud "sizzle" sound was heard, and the stream that was originally scattered in the magic circle turned into water droplets and shot up, instantly wrapping the jade ruler in a large water ball in hand.

"Dream on if you think you can catch me! Even if you are from the Zhong family, with your young age, how much power can you possibly possess? Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on!" Seeing this, the old man's ferocity was instead aroused. After a loud roar, his skin instantly turned yellow, and his body swelled up.

After the water ball absorbed the blood mist, it swayed in the wind and transformed into a bloody giant sword measuring about ten feet long. It used water as its blade and a ruler as its hilt, with faintly visible blood-colored runes flowing unpredictably on its surface.

Symbolic object!

It's impossible. If there were any restrictions set up here, how could I not have noticed anything?

Slash!

The true form of Mukuijing should be this tree.

The wrist of Zhong Chen trembled, and the giant sword flew out of his hand. He transformed into a blood light and fiercely slashed down the monster on the ground.

After the monster known as Mu Kui Jing let out a miserable scream, it felt completely unable to resist the tremendous force and its body. Its massive body trembled, and it flew horizontally more than twenty feet like a sack, while green blood sprayed wildly from its mouth as if it could no longer move.

A loud rumbling sound followed by a continuous series of explosions, and within a radius of ten yards, a colorful magic array appeared on the ground, with shimmering lights on the surface and various runes occasionally emerging.

The young man swayed his body, leaped onto the water crane, and exerted a bit of internal force, causing the crane to carry him flying towards the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Chen's face remained unchanged, without any trace of surprise. He muttered something under his breath and waved the jade ruler in his hand once again in front of him.

Without changing his expression, Zhong Chen spoke in a deep voice.

Blood Element Sword!

Next, the young man took a few steps to the front of the black ash pile, picked up a dry branch from the nearby ground, and after casually scratching it a few times, he picked up a pale green crystal about two inches in size and a talisman that was already half broken.

Zhong Family! Not good!

An incredible scene appeared!

A muffled sound!

With a wave of his hand, the suspended disc slowly descended and was collected by him. The ground formation gradually dissipated and disappeared in the dim light.

The young man carefully examined the roots of the trees, and took out a small bottle. After sprinkling some black liquid in the nearby soil, he finally revealed a satisfied expression.

Senior, you're too kind. My surname is Zhong and my given name is Chen. The young man smiled faintly.

Qi Jian Mountain, a gigantic mountain that resembles a half-cut sword blade, with the upper half bare and scarce vegetation, almost impassable to the peak, while the lower half is covered with winding mountain paths, presenting a lush green scenery.

钟 !

At that time, he would be able to officially enter the ranks of the upper-level disciples of the Zhong family.

Do you still want to leave now? Isn't it too late? We have wasted half a month's time with you. The young man murmured and slapped the huge stone chessboard in front of him with one hand.

When Zhong Chen once again took the blue heron to leave the mountaintop and flew towards the distant horizon, beneath the seemingly calm countenance, the fervent heart could not be concealed.

Amazing things have happened.

The old man's face suddenly changed when he heard it.

The silver powder turned into countless white flames and fell down, the huge body of the monster and the nearby green blood immediately ignited, and in an instant turned into a pile of black powder.

You haven't returned to your original form for half a month, yet you dare to act aggressively in front of me, Zhong Mou! Zhong Chen sneered when he saw this, threw the jade plate in his hand into the air, and at the same time, made a gesture in the air with his other hand. A pale yellow talisman appeared in his hand, which turned into a half-foot-long jade ruler in a dazzling light, as he waved it towards the nearby stream.

Not long after, Zhong Chen stood in front of a half-withered and half-prosperous tree on the mountaintop, walked around it a few times, and then settled down.

Seemingly solid boulders burst open, shooting out countless crystal threads that flicker and disappear.

After taking a deep breath, Zhong Chen extended his sleeve, and a large silver powder flew out. With a flick of his finger, he pointed at the body of the monster in the void.

The old man's fangs were fully exposed, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic monster, about three or four zhang tall, resembling a half-dead tree trunk. The cracking sound continued from his body, causing the crystal-clear chains that bound him to start breaking apart inch by inch.

Under the feet of the old man, white chains shot out one after another, and in the frenzy, they instantly bound him tightly.

Three years have passed, that thing should have already become it.

After a moment, the stream rushed towards the paper crane and transformed into a hazy blue water crane. Its wings spread open, measuring about ten feet in length.

Ha ha, young friend is really modest. I am ashamed to say that although I have known young friend for so many days, I have not yet asked for your name. I hope you can tell me a little bit about yourself, what kind of family you come from, to be able to cultivate such amazing chess skills. The old man heard this and twirled his beard with one hand.

The face of the old man turned pale and bloodless in an instant. He let out a loud cry, rolled on the ground, and turned into a thick white mist. The mist disappeared into the ground without a trace.

Go!

Bang!

Finally solved this problem! It took more than two months to prepare and rush this time. I can't take such time-consuming tasks within the clan anymore in the future. But on the other hand, if it weren't for that matter, the task was just on the way, and I wouldn't have made this trip. 钟沉's face finally relaxed, murmuring twice.

Can improve the formation! Are you a formation master? The old man was shocked and angry after hearing the young man's words.

One person was dressed in a gray robe, wearing a bamboo hat, with wrinkles all over his face, looking like an old farmer; the other person was dressed in a green outfit, with eyebrows like swords, a handsome face, and appeared to be only around seventeen or eighteen years old.

At this moment, by a winding stream flowing through a small path in the middle of a mountain, two figures are sitting cross-legged.

Nothing is impossible. This enchantment array has already been improved by Mr. Zhong in advance. It is a dual-layered formation. Besides its ability to trap enemies, once it is set up, it has a remarkable effect on concealment. Unless you have a cultivation level of Nascent Soul or above, it is difficult to detect.

He immediately raised both hands, and silver powder scattered again, turning into rolling white flames and igniting.

The seemingly half-dead trees unexpectedly emitted strange sounds like a child's babbling in the flames. The sounds lasted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before finally disappearing completely.

Upon seeing the bloodshed from the slash, the seemingly fallen monster let out a strange cry, bounced up like a wooden stake, and spewed out a green gas from its mouth. At the same time, it turned around and leaped into the air to escape.

After a loud bang of "轰", the entire stream trembled, and the water unexpectedly surged up as if it came to life, transforming into a tremendously massive water column, fiercely crashing into the monster within the magic formation.

The old man suddenly let out a long sigh and threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box. With a bitter smile, he said to the young man opposite him, "Admire, admire! The old man and the young friend have known each other for more than half a month here, and we play chess and make friends every day. But nine out of ten times, I lose. The young friend's chess skills are truly unparalleled in my entire life."

Not bad, it's the clock from the Zhong family, one of the thirty-six immortal clans. Zhong added slowly.

A flash of blood light, and the approaching green mist was split in half. After another blur, it instantly disappeared behind the airborne creature.
