In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Two of the three Pill-forming Ancestors died and one escaped. When the demonic foundation-building monks saw that the momentum was not good, many of them left their companions on the spot and fled alone.

Of course, there were also some extremely vicious people among them. They wanted to lead the team to continue fighting, but they were surrounded by the monks in the Yellow Maple Valley and were either killed on the spot or severely injured and escaped.

What's more, in order to clear away his previous depression, the big man named Zhou from the Jujian Sect vented his anger on the foundation-building monks of the Demonic Path. Regardless of whether you are in the early stage or late stage, the giant sword will cut you into pieces one after another.

This caused complete chaos among the disciples of the demonic path. The low-level disciples in the Qi refining stage lost their leadership and command. They were so frightened that their originally orderly retreat instantly turned into a flight.

The morale of Huang Maple Valley was greatly boosted, and they all pursued and killed them.

For a moment, there were shouts of killing everywhere within a few miles, and countless demonic disciples fled in panic into the distance.

Behind them, all kinds of brilliance were overwhelmingly chasing after them. From time to time, low-level demon monks were swept away by the brilliance and fell like dumplings one after another.

Among all these brilliance, there is one figure that shines most dazzlingly. Sixteen rays of golden light flew up and down around him, and most of the people who escaped at the end were monks in the Qi refining stage, and they had no ability to resist him at all.

No matter what kind of magic weapon or shield you have, if you are hit by the golden light, you will immediately be killed on the spot. He is like the god of death, ruthlessly harvesting everyone's lives.

Occasionally, an unlucky foundation-building monk would be caught up by him. After a little resistance, he would be furiously shaved into white bones with a golden blade.

With such an infiltrative method, even the demonic monks who were known for their cruelty and bloodthirsty gasped, let alone those in Huang Maple Valley who claimed to be righteous.

Someone wanted to step forward to remind him, but was stopped by a short and thick young man behind him.

"You are seeking death!"

High in the air, Tian Fei did not take action to deal with the low-level demon cultivators like the big man named Zhou, but stayed there quietly and witnessed the entire process of the demonic path's defeat.

When he saw all the demonic monks fleeing into the dense forest several miles away from Fengjiabao, he gave the order to withdraw his troops.

......

In the main hall of Fengjiabao, Tian Fei sat in the main seat, followed by the big man surnamed Zhou, and further down were more than ten monks in the late stage of foundation building.

A burst of panicked footsteps came from far away, and Wu Feng walked in quickly with an anxious look on his face.

"Have you found it?" Tian Feitan said calmly.

"Returning to Master, I still haven't found my senior brother. However, someone saw him and became red-blooded. No matter whether it was friend or foe, he would kill everyone he saw. Later, he chased the demonic people all the way into the dense forest, and senior brother Zhang also followed behind."

"Brother Tian, ​​this is troublesome. The demonic reinforcements will counterattack at any time. Look..." the big man surnamed Zhou said slowly.

Tian Feng frowned when he heard this, and then looked at the several late-stage foundation-building monks on his left.

"You guys go with Wu Feng and bring me back no matter what!"

"Wu Feng, take this with you. If he doesn't listen, he will be tied up." As Tian Fei spoke, he threw a green light at Wu Feng.

After Wu Feng took it, he found that it was a green vine with terrifying spiritual power. He didn't know what kind of magic weapon it was. After Tian Fei sent a message to teach him how to control, he immediately took the order and left with a few people.

In a dark dense forest, Lu Yuan and Zhang Tie were surrounded by several foundation-building monks, including two who were even mid-level cultivators. However, relying on the sharpness of the golden blade, Lu and Yuan were not at a disadvantage.

On the periphery, a dozen demonic Qi Refining Stage disciples each held a blood-red flag. Under the leadership of another Foundation Establishment Stage monk, they were waving the flags in their hands crazily. Pieces of blood clouds poured out from the banner, and angry waves rolled wildly.

Not long after, the leading Foundation Establishment monk suddenly let out several screams, and with the sky-shattering screams, the blood cloud suddenly swelled. It spread in the blink of an eye, and had the potential to cover the sky and the sun.

"Fellow Taoists, the Blood Wind Formation has been completed. Hurry up and enter the formation to kill this beast!"

Then came the torrential cloud of blood. The speed suddenly increased several times and spread like a violent wave, instantly trapping Lu Yuan and Zhang Tie inside. The figures of the people who had been fighting with Lu Yuan escaped and disappeared into the formation.

Just when Lu Yuan was surprised, Zhang Tie suddenly shouted, "Be careful behind you!" '.

A small blood-red sword was stabbing Lu Yuan silently from behind.

"go with!"

Lu Yuan roared, and the four golden blades flew back, slashing hard at the incoming small sword.

With a 'ding' sound, the small sword and the golden blade touched lightly, and then retreated into the blood cloud again. Lu Yuan refused to give up, roaring and driving the golden blade, trying to chase him in.

But before he could take action, the blood clouds around him suddenly rolled, and then various magic weapons flew out from all directions, ranging from low-level to top-level.

"A pile of rubbish!" Fire almost burst out of Lu Yuan's blood-red hole. Sixteen golden blades radiated with light, slashing and slashing rapidly around him, destroying most of the magic weapons.

Zhang Tie on the other side was covered in a thick layer of golden armor, and several magic weapons hit it, making a jingling sound, but it did not penetrate.

"This formation is unusual. Senior brother, please don't be impulsive. Cover it for me." After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he stretched out a hand to reach into the blood cloud, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Where are you from, country boy? Even if you two are in the later stages of cultivation, you will still be trapped here. You still want to break through the 'Blood Wind Formation' of my Ghost Spirit Sect. What a dream!" A sarcastic voice came from the blood cloud. . But the other party seemed to be a little worried about something. The blood cloud tumbled, and two large blood-red monsters with teeth and claws sprang out, waving their sharp claws and slapping Zhang Tie head-on.

Lu Yuan's golden blade passed by, easily cutting it to pieces and turning it into a blood cloud again. But soon the blood clouds from all directions started rolling and churning at the same time, and then vampires crawled out one after another, and they rushed towards him.

Lu Yuan became even more violent when he saw so many blood-red monsters. He made the golden blade dance impermeable regardless of the weather, so that as soon as these vampires bumped into it, they would be cut into pieces immediately and turn into blood again. cloud.

But after Lu Yuan killed hundreds of vampires in a row, ghosts continued to appear in all directions. At this time, the aura on Lu Yuan's golden blade was dim, and it was obvious that his magic power was insufficient.

It seemed that these Ghost Spirit Sect monks wanted to consume him alive here.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and roared, and reluctantly gathered sixteen golden blades to form a golden sword. But the golden blades just trembled one after another and couldn't merge together at all. In this way, several vampires got close to him, almost killing him on the spot.

Zhang Tie on the other side had to stop his exploration and threw out several fire talismans to help Lu Yuan and himself get out of the siege.

"Brother, I have a general understanding of this so-called Blood Wind Formation. The only thing I don't know is the location of the formation's eye. Use the Golden Prodigy to help me find it!" After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he ignored Lu Yuan and sat cross-legged on the ground. Take out a bunch of formation flags from the storage bag.

"He is actually an array master! Kill him first." A strange cry came from the blood cloud, and countless vampires swarmed towards Zhang Tie.

When Lu Yuan saw this, he didn't even care about looking for any formation eyes, and used the golden blade to protect them around them.

Although Lu Yuan tried his best to kill them, there were too many vampires. After all, there are several foundation-building monks and a dozen Qi-refining stage monks in the Blood Wind Formation. With the combined efforts of these people, the spiritual power of the Blood Wind Formation can be said to be extremely abundant.

And as time went by, Lu Yuan's magic power gradually became weak. From the original sixteen golden blades, only six, seven or eight are still controllable, so it is naturally difficult to protect Zhang Tie Zhouquan.

"Hahaha, what about the formation master? Can you arrange the formation with peace of mind!" An arrogant shout came from the blood cloud.

Zhang Tie's face became solemn, but as the other party said, even if he had a simplified formation weapon, he couldn't put it out in an instant.

Looking at Lu Yuan who was getting more and more depressed, Zhang Tie did not panic. He slapped his hand on the storage bag and took out several junior, middle and lower-level talismans. There were about seventy or eighty of them, all of which were fire-type talismans. Then, he threw them all out in one breath, and suddenly a large fire cloud burned countless evil ghosts and bombarded the blood cloud.

"There are quite a few talismans, but do you think that just a few fireball talismans can break the formation? That's not a good idea!" A gloomy shout came from the blood cloud.

Several black skulls followed the shouts and suddenly squeezed out of the blood cloud before the fire cloud arrived. Then they opened their mouths at the same time, and several jets of black gas spurted out, immediately blocking the fire cloud.

"Just be obedient and become the vampire's mouth-watering meal!"

"Hmph! I really want to smell your barbecue!" Zhang Tie also sneered, pointing his fingers in six directions.

"E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui!" Following Zhang Tie's shout, the fire cloud blocked by the skull suddenly divided into six parts, occupying six directions.

At the same time, the nearby spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic, and with six fire clouds as the center, six spiritual energy vortexes were formed in the blink of an eye. Countless bits of spiritual light visible to the naked eye were sucked into the vortex.

As the spiritual light continues to be added, the scope of the fire cloud becomes larger and larger.

"Liuyi Xuanhuo, start!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Tie stretched out three fingers from each hand and knitted them together. The fire clouds in the six directions immediately echoed each other, and their power increased so much that even the previous skulls were burned into nothingness.

"What's going on? How could you arrange a formation out of thin air!" The voice in the blood cloud finally showed a hint of panic.

"If you survive later, I can consider telling you!" Zhang Tie said coldly, and then looked at Lu Yuan.

"Senior brother, help me find the formation eye!"

"There!" Although Lu Yuan's mind was occupied by inner fire, he also knew that if he wanted to break this formation, he must cooperate with Zhang Tie. With golden red light shining in his eyes, he quickly found a place where the blood cloud was thickest and pointed it out to Zhang Tie.

"Okay! Break it for me!" Zhang Tie pointed in the direction provided by Lu Yuan, and the sky was filled with mysterious fire.

After a dull explosion and scream, the air was filled with the smell of burnt lake.

When the mysterious fire and blood clouds dissipated, there were burnt limbs and broken arms everywhere, as well as a dozen broken banners. Of the original demonic monks, only two who were in the middle stage of foundation building were still alive. Although the two of them survived by luck, they were also seriously injured.

At this time, they looked at Zhang Tie with more fear than when they looked at Lu Yuan.

Although he had seen Lu Yuan's brutal killing methods when he was escaping before, he was not unable to deal with them. That's why they gathered some people and set up a blood cloud formation here in an attempt to kill Lu Yuan and the other two.

When he was about to succeed, he didn't want to be broken by this short and thick young man whose cultivation was only in the early stage of foundation building. He also used this to kill three foundation-building monks and a dozen Qi-refining disciples in one fell swoop, and seriously injured two mid-level monks.

"I survived, tell me how you did it!" One of them hunched over and shouted unwillingly.

"Then I'll satisfy you. This is called the 'talisman array'!" Zhang Tie looked down at the man.

"talisman array? Why haven't I heard of it?" The man fell into madness and tremblingly rushed towards Zhang Tie.

"Let's study hard in the next life!" Golden light flashed, and Lu Yuan killed these two people directly. Then he took out a mid-level spiritual stone, sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to restore his mana. Next to him, Zhang Tie was not much better. The 'talisman array' just now also cost him a lot, and he also did the same thing as Lu Yuan.

But before that, he still set up a simple protective formation, just in case.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and stopped recovering his mana.

"Someone else is here, they are all foundation-building monks, they are very fast, several of them are even higher than me in cultivation!"

"Are you in the late stage of foundation building?" Zhang Tie's face looked grim.

"Can you still use that talisman array?"

"No, this talisman array needs to be refined with the corresponding talismans in advance. And the blow just now has already consumed all the talismans I brought."

"There's no other way, let's fight!" Lu Yuan released his sixteen golden blades and got ready.

"How about running away?" Zhang Tie suggested.

"It's too late. With our current mana, we won't be able to run far before we are overtaken." As Lu Yuan spoke, the golden sword flew through the air and struck in a certain direction.

"It's better to strike first! Maybe we can kill one!"

boom!

There was an explosion in the dense forest not far away, followed by several roars. And among the roars, there was also a surprisingly surprising voice.

"This golden sword is senior brother's magical weapon!"

"Everyone stop it! Senior brother, I am Wu Feng!"

......

"Brother Zhang, what's going on with your 'talisman array'?" Lu Yuan asked Zhang Tie in the guest room of Fengjiabao.

Thinking of Zhang Tie's performance when he destroyed the 'Blood Wind Formation' with a fire talisman and the lake suddenly collapsed, Lu Yuan was very interested in the 'talisman formation' he mentioned.

However, Lu Yuan was a layman in terms of formations. He didn't even know how to set up the most basic formations, let alone the mysterious 'talisman formation'. So after recovering most of his cultivation, he found Zhang Tie as soon as possible.

"This is a method I discovered by myself." Zhang Tie stretched and then explained slowly.

The so-called talisman formation is a method that Zhang Tie figured out on his own after integrating the experience of Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao in developing formation magic tools.

Three years ago, Zhang Tie had a sudden idea when he was inscribing the formation into a formation weapon. He already has extraordinary attainments in the way of talismans. Since formations can be engraved into magic weapons, why can't they be applied to talismans?

The activated talisman is very convenient to control, and you can easily reach the designated position according to your own wishes, which is much less labor-intensive than burying your head in arranging the array equipment.

Since then, Zhang Tie spent nearly two years on research and finally succeeded in engraving several formations into the talisman. The Liuyi Xuanhuo Formation is the most powerful among them, but it can only be refined into that set.

"That's not right. Normally, doesn't running a magic circle require spiritual stones to provide energy?" Lu Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Indeed, that's why I engraved a spirit-gathering array on those talismans so that they can absorb spiritual energy from the heaven and earth on their own."

"So powerful! If you can create formations with your bare hands, who else can be your opponent at the same level?" Lu Yuan looked at Zhang Tie in disbelief.

Generally speaking, if you don't study formations for ten or twenty years, you won't be able to achieve anything! But in just three years, Zhang Tie not only had a very high level of understanding of battle tactics, but he even drew inferences from one example and invented something as perverted as the 'talisman array'.

It seems that Zhang Tie has extremely high talent in formations. In the future, it is not impossible to enter the Tao through formations and improve his own cultivation!

"That's all. After all, the talisman does not require a magical weapon and cannot carry much spiritual power. And now I can only reluctantly inscribe the formation on the intermediate talisman, and its power is limited." Zhang Tie said a few words modestly at first, and then his expression condensed.

"When I can skillfully refine high-level talismans, I should be able to engrave more powerful formations into them!"
