Fox Song

Chapter 76 Nine-word mantra
Just when Wang Xu reappeared, countless sword beams, saber qi, and axe lights came rushing towards him!

Long Xiang hesitated for a moment, sighed inwardly, and the two golden rings tightly held in his hands shot out, targeting the middle-aged man in blue in front of him.

Faced with the overwhelming attack, Wang Xu frowned, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his figure disappeared into the void again.

Ye Ling and the other three rushed forward, but they didn't even see his shadow.

"What a fast movement!" Ye Ling said softly.

"No! I feel something is wrong!" Liu Ming's horse face trembled and he muttered.

"What's wrong? He's alone, trying to play hide-and-seek with the four of us." Yuan Cheng sneered, "Humph! See how we deal with him when we catch him!"

Long Xiang on the side remained silent, seemingly thinking about something.

The four men walked forward slowly and cautiously, weapons in hand.

The night was hazy, and the fog on the mountain surged like waves in the sea, quickly submerging the previous space.

There was total silence all around them, and they could even hear each other's breathing.

After walking for a few minutes, Long Xiang's face suddenly changed:
"not good!"

"What's wrong?" Ye Ling raised her eyebrows and asked.

Long Xiang clapped his hands, and the thick fog in front of him dissipated. Then he pointed to a tree that appeared not far ahead.

"Look!"

Looking in the direction of Long Xiang's finger, the three of them were stunned, and Liu Ming's pupils shrank sharply.

The tree itself was nothing special, just an ordinary pine tree with the thickness of an adult's wrist. But half of its branches were gone. And this half of the chopped-off branch was exactly what Liu Ming had chopped off when he had an argument with Yuan Cheng when the five of them came here!

"We are back to the foot of the mountain again!"

Long Xiang's face condensed, and he said solemnly: "It seems that we have been trapped in the maze without knowing it!"

When Ye Ling and the other two heard this, they recalled Wang Xu's strange movements from before and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

In the Small Thousand Worlds, if a cultivator has not reached the threshold of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, it is impossible for him to have the ability to travel freely in space unless he relies on external objects.

With Wang Xu's late Nascent Soul cultivation, he naturally couldn't travel through space. Judging from the fact that he easily dodged the attacks twice, he probably relied on the talisman formation to hide his body.

"I'll go up and take a look!" Ye Ling said, and shot up into the sky. But after just two or three breaths, she came back.

"I can't fly after a certain distance. There seems to be a powerful, invisible spiritual shield in the sky above. I can't break through it!"

Everyone's heart sank. Ye Ling's cultivation was the highest among the four of them. If she couldn't break through, it would be even more impossible for the others.

"This is constructed by a formation!"

Long Xiang reminded them, "Gui Guzi is good at deploying troops. And there are often formations within formations. Everyone be careful!"

When he was in the mortal world in his early years, Long Xiang's knowledge of Guiguzi, in addition to his superb speech, debate, wisdom and political tactics, was most impressed by his military tactics and Taoism, including the legend of him cutting grass to make horses and sowing beans to make soldiers when he was guiding Sun Bin and Pang Juan in the battle.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the air: "Little guys, isn't it too late for you to realize it now?"

"It's not too late!"

Long Xiang was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile.

He spoke lightly, but his eyes seemed to be staring at the front casually - just as Wang Xu's voice appeared, the top-grade flying knife in Ye Ling's hand had already shot out in the direction of the sound.

The knife restrained its light and moved silently, but it was as powerful as a hot knife through butter. It even seemed to split the space as it shot out, making people feel cold.

But soon Long Xiang's heart sank, and Ye Ling's expression also became extremely ugly.

In a flash, the flying knife shot out and quickly returned to her hand - there was no trace of blood on the knife. Just now, after the flying knife was thrown, she did not even sense the exact target position.

As if responding to her little gesture, Wang Xu's laughter rang out all around them:

"It's useless for you to do this. The rocks, grass and trees are all for my use. Now the whole mountain is under my control.

"Senior is also an expert! Hiding and hiding is nothing!"

Yuan Cheng sneered, "If you have the guts, come out and see who's better!"

Liu Ming's eyes rolled around, and he also said loudly: "Senior, you feel that you are no match for us, so we won't bully the weak with our numbers. How about a one-on-one fight?"

"Hahahaha! Youngsters, there's no need to provoke me with words. I have no intention of competing with you for victory or defeat!"

With Wang Xu's cultivation at the late Nascent Soul stage, it would be unwise for him to go out and fight them alone. The four people present, no matter who they were, were higher in cultivation than him.

"I can't believe that the famous Guiguzi is actually a coward! Hahaha!" Yuan Cheng laughed out loud.

Liu Ming couldn't help but agree, and cursed out some embarrassing words. But Wang Xu ignored him and didn't show up. Seeing this, Ye Ling frowned and said, "It seems that he wants to delay us."

After hearing this, Yuan Cheng snorted coldly: "Could it be that if he holds us back, that old monk will become an ancient great opponent? He is only in the Nascent Soul stage."

"It's hard to say." Long Xiang pondered, "It's best not to underestimate him. He is a tough guy who fought against Master in the past! He might have some tricks up his sleeve!"

"Our plan now is to break this formation as soon as possible and go to help Gu Lao Da!" Ye Ling nodded and said, "Long Xiang, what method do you have?"

Hearing this, Long Xiang smiled bitterly: "I am not good at formations! If I had known this would happen, I would have brought Junior Brother Ning here! Junior Brother Ning is the one who is proficient in formations!"

"Then what should we do?" Liu Ming scratched his head and said, "None of us is proficient in it!"

"There is a way." Long Xiang thought for a while and said, "To stop us, such a large formation will of course require a huge amount of energy consumption. Therefore, either we find the center of the formation and break it directly, or we consume a lot of energy in the formation through attacking, and the energy will run out and the formation will break by itself!"

Bang!
As they were talking, there was a sudden loud bang in the air, and the ground seemed to be shaking.

Everyone was stunned, and then they showed joy.

"This should be the boss launching an attack on the formation from outside. Let's quickly join forces and attack from both inside and outside to break this formation!"

After the four of them finished speaking, they all formed seals with their hands, and balls of light condensed with terrifying energy formed in their hands.

"go with!"

Then the four light balls merged into one in the air, and then crashed into the void in front.

Boom!

After the loud noise, the whole mountain seemed to shake.

"These guys are really troublesome! Looks like they need to be taught a lesson!"

Wang Xu frowned and muttered to himself.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged in the thick fog on the mountainside, and next to him was a huge green stone. The stone was covered with strange patterns, which extended to the ground from the bottom of the stone and meandered everywhere.

This huge stone is a top-grade spiritual tool that can absorb the energy of heaven and earth and feed it back to itself. Xuanji originally used it to restore his spiritual power, after all, the opponent's cultivation was higher than his. But even Xuanji didn't expect that he would use it as the center of the formation and set up a large formation to trap the enemy.

"Those who are approaching, fighting, and fighting are all in formation, in front!"

Wang Xu murmured the nine-character mantra, and the seals in his hands kept moving, and then he slammed them on the boulder.

"disease!"

There was a bright light in the middle of the boulder, and a tremendous amount of energy suddenly spread out in all directions.

hum!
Ye Ling and the other three were full of confidence and were preparing for a second attack when they suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes and a strong wave made them dizzy. The originally clear scenery around them changed again, and the fog became thicker and thicker.

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly heard the sound of wind, and countless huge rocks poured down from the thick fog, and behind them there was a large group of soldiers in armor.

Long Xiang's face changed and he shouted, "Throwing beans to make soldiers? Qimen Dunjia? Everyone be careful!"

……

"As expected of Guiguzi, he really has some great tricks!"

Guli stood in the void, looking at the billowing white fog in the formation below. With his eyesight, he couldn't see anything and couldn't help but sigh.

He could never have imagined that he brought four fellow disciples in the late Nascent Soul stage with him on this trip, plus himself, a total of five people, facing two Nascent Soul stage opponents, and they were unable to successfully enter the Great Hall and obtain the Soul-Capturing Bottle.

Before, he suddenly started, passing Xuan Ji and Wang Xu and shot towards the top of the mountain.

It seemed that he would soon be able to approach the temple and succeed.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Ji's body movement was faster than his. He arrived first after starting later, and was in front of him in a few flashes.

Then, Xuan Ji punched Gu Li in the face without saying a word.

Seeing this, Guli snorted coldly and threw a punch without showing any weakness.

Bang!
With a loud bang, violent spiritual power swept over, causing pain on people's faces.

Gu Li's body swayed and he took two steps back, while the old monk Xuanji took several steps back, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

Gu Li's face showed a sinister look. Since the two sides had already torn their faces apart, it seemed that there was no need to talk any further.

He clenched his fist again, raised it high, and said slowly:

"You are no match for me, get out of the way!"
