Chapter 654 You Actually Know Them
"This secret technique does have a big flaw. It requires sacrificing one's own vitality and lifespan. Killing one thousand enemies will result in eight hundred losses of one's own! But after all, we only lost eight hundred, and there are two of us working together to perform it. Do you think you can outlast the two of us and end up in a draw with us?" Yan Jie said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, as if he had already decided on Qin Ziling.
"Don't forget, I am a fellow practitioner of the Three Daos. My blood and energy are vigorous and my life span is long!" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly, then he regained his composure in an instant and said in a cold voice.
"Really?" Yan Jie and Xiao Ren raised their lips with a hint of sarcasm and said, "Then let's see who can last longer!"
They are sixth-grade true immortals and have lived for thousands of years. How could Qin Ziling's "subtle changes" escape their eyes?
"You!" Qin Ziling was "furious", his eyes showing madness, and the cave suddenly burst out with terrifying power, trying to break free from the chain of death and the clutches of the underworld.
Yan Jie and Xiao Ren were not surprised but happy when they saw this.
The crazier Qin Ziling acted and the harder he struggled, the more it showed that he was almost at the point where his lamp oil ran out and he could no longer hold on.
At this time, they cannot relax and must hold on, otherwise all their efforts will be in vain and they will not even have time to cry.
So after being surprised, the two of them became even more frantic in absorbing their own vitality and lifespan, just like gamblers who don't want money and increase the stakes.
The dark death force that invaded Qin Ziling's original cave was continuously transferred by him to the dark area in the west of the Qiankun Cave World by using the method of sneaking through Chencang.
The two sixth-rank true immortals performed their secret arts madly, and the power of the Netherworld and death was truly considerable, pouring mightily into the dark land in the west. The five Netherworld immortal generals revealed their true forms, looked up to the sky and opened their mouths, sucking in the Netherworld and death force pouring into the cave world into their mouths like a whale sucking in water.
Fortunately, the four people are now fifth-rank Hades Immortal Generals and their strength has increased a lot. Even though the influx of the Netherworld’s death power is vast and powerful, they can now absorb it all.
Otherwise, if it had happened in the past, with such a large amount of Netherworld death force pouring in, it would probably have burst them to pieces.
Under the selfless cultivation of the two sixth-rank true immortals, the bodies of the five Hades Immortals continued to expand, emitting an increasingly powerful and cold Hades Immortal aura.
Their strength is increasing rapidly.
Of course, they are already at the fifth rank now, and there are five of them. If they want to break through to the sixth rank Hades Immortal General realm, there is still a big gap to be overcome with only the selfless dedication of two sixth rank True Immortals.
Time passed quietly as one struggled desperately to break free and the other struggled desperately to suppress it.
Qin Ziling's entire body was covered with black spots of death, with pieces of flesh rotting and falling off his body. The cave was constantly shrinking, and it was already pitch black inside, with only a very faint light still trying not to be swallowed up.
But that extremely weak light was like an indestructible cockroach. Every time Yan Jie and Xiao Ren thought that the darkness of death would swallow it up in the next moment, it would break through the darkness and still not go out.
Waves of weakness came over them. Not only had their bodies become shriveled and skin and bones remained, their eyeballs were deeply sunken, and even the immortal infant in the Purple Mansion was now extremely shriveled.
They seemed to have heard the footsteps of death and smelled the breath of death.
They don't have much life left.
I can't fight any more!
If they continue to fight, they will really die of old age!
"You pervert!" Finally, Yan Jie and Xiao Ren looked at each other and saw the retreat and unwillingness in each other's eyes. Then, almost at the same time, they uttered five words from between their teeth to Qin Ziling.
After saying that, the two of them were about to withdraw their secret technique.
"Stop! Your vitality and lifespan haven't been exhausted yet, and mine hasn't been exhausted either. We can still hold on. Let's work together and don't give up easily. As long as we persist, victory will belong to us!" Qin Ziling shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Puff!" Yan Jie and Xiao Ren couldn't help but spit out blood when they heard this.
"You're going too far! I'm going to fight you!" Xiao Ren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and yelled at Qin Ziling.
After such a long period of continuous consumption of vitality and lifespan, even though Xiao Ren was a sixth-rank True Immortal, his head felt a little dizzy and heavy, and he no longer had his usual agility. In a rage, his blood rushed to his head.
"Yes, yes, this is the fighting spirit we need! Elder Xiao, I have confidence in you, come on!" Qin Ziling said.
"Brother Xiao, something is wrong. Why do I feel like this guy is cheating us?" Seeing this, Yan Jie's mind became clearer and his face changed slightly.
"Impossible, how can the power of death be fake?" Xiao Ren shook his head.
"Elder Xiao is still smart!" Qin Ziling praised.
"Boy, stop trying to talk! You'd better think about how to restore your vitality and lifespan. Otherwise, even if we stop this time, you won't live for a few more years!" Xiao Ren sneered.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Xiao. It is very easy for me to restore my vitality and lifespan." Qin Ziling bowed slightly.
"You, you have an elixir that can restore vitality and lifespan!" Yan Jie and Xiao Ren exclaimed, and their thoughts on withdrawing the secret technique wavered again.
This time, the loss of their vitality and lifespan was too great, and they didn't have much time left.
If I can’t find the elixir that can prolong my lifespan as soon as possible when I go back this time, I’m afraid I can only try to force my way through the wind and fire catastrophe.
However, the threshold from the sixth grade to the seventh grade is actually a relatively large one. Even if one has a sixth-grade "Immortal Pill for Deliverance", if one's foundation is not solid enough and one's preparations are not sufficient, one will be in danger of death.
Therefore, there are many elders and peak masters of the Jiuxuan Sect who are true immortals of the sixth rank, but above the seventh rank, except for the supreme elder who lives in seclusion, there are only eight peak masters of Xuanfeng and one peak master of Diyoufeng.
Moreover, the sixth-grade "Du'e Immortal Pill" has basically never been refined since there were no Taoist immortals in the Jiuxuan Sect. Even if the Jiuxuan Sect still has a small amount of sixth-grade "Du'e Immortal Pill", they are reserved for the sixth-grade true immortals with the greatest hope, and it is definitely not the turn of them, the not-so-outstanding sixth-grade true immortals.
Not to mention, their vitality and lifespan have been greatly depleted, their immortal infants have shrunk and their foundations have been damaged, making it unlikely that they will be able to successfully survive the tribulation, let alone give them the sixth-grade "Deliverance Pill".
Without the sixth-grade "Deliverance Pill", in their current condition, if they tried to force their way through the wind and fire disaster, it would not be a matter of one life and one death, but a matter of no chance of survival even if they died a hundred times.
Therefore, their hope is to find the elixir that can prolong life as soon as possible.
However, elixirs that can increase lifespan are extremely rare, especially those that can increase lifespan by more than a hundred years. Their rarity and preciousness are almost comparable to the sixth-grade "Du'e Immortal Pill".
Because of this, Qin Ziling's words made their intention to withdraw the secret technique waver again.
As long as they kill this boy and seize the elixir that can increase lifespan, they will have hope!
Should we burn our boats?
Do you want to risk your life in order to survive?
The two men were wavering in their thoughts, feeling extremely painful and conflicted, but the "Secret Art of the Underworld's Life-Devouring Hell" was still continuing to grind away their vitality and lifespan like a meat grinder .
"Brother Xiao, that's not right. This guy is deliberately delaying time. He must have reinforcements arriving soon!" In the midst of hesitation and contradiction, Yan Jie suddenly thought of Xiao Qing. His heart was shocked and his face changed slightly.
"That's right, I almost fell for it! Even if he has an elixir that can increase lifespan, now is not the time to take it. If he holds us back like this, he will surely exhaust his vitality and lifespan before us, and then any more elixirs that can increase lifespan will be useless." Xiao Ren thought for a moment after hearing this and suddenly came to his senses.
After saying that, the two of them immediately decided to withdraw the "Secret Art of Hell Life-Devouring".
As soon as this "Secret Art of the Underworld Life-Devouring" was withdrawn, the two felt weak and dizzy, but they could not care less at this time. One of them used the Black Evil Mysterious Water Knife to slash at Qin Ziling's cave to prevent its counterattack, and the other one used the Earth Ghost Sword, setting down an impenetrable sword light, which covered the two of them and prepared to leave.
"You now have less than 20% of your full strength left, so you can only fight against a fifth-grade True Immortal. Do you still want to break out of the formation?" Qin Ziling's cave heaven did not take the opportunity to counterattack, but retracted it. At the same time, Fire Crow Swords rose into the sky from all directions, and the Nine Cauldrons Fire Crow Sword Formation was set up again.
"How many skills do you have left?" Seeing Qin Ziling taking back the cave, Elder Xiao Ren sneered and turned the Black Evil Xuanshui Knife to chop towards the wall of the fire cauldron.
Yan Jie, with cold and sharp sword lights wrapped around him, followed behind the Black Evil Xuanshui Knife.
It can not only prevent Qin Ziling from using other magic weapons, but also rush out fiercely after the Black Evil Mysterious Water Knife slashes the wall of the fire cauldron.
The cooperation between the two was extremely tacit, worthy of being sixth-grade True Immortals.
Before the Black Evil Xuanshui Knife arrived, a huge fire crow flew out from the sword formation.
The fire crow came roaring, and its sharp claws with flames grabbed at the Black Evil Xuanshui Sword.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
The sharp claws collided with the Black Evil Xuanshui Knife in the air, and actually blocked the Black Evil Xuanshui Knife steadily. Not only that, another fire crow flew out, and its sharp claws hit the sword light. After a few hits, the sword light actually broke into pieces, revealing skin and bones. Yan Jie and Xiao Ren were shocked and couldn't believe it.
The power of the Nine Cauldrons Fire Crow Sword Formation not only did not weaken, but instead increased.
This was normal, because Qin Ziling's current Qi training strength was being used to control the Nine Cauldrons Fire Crow Sword Formation, and its power had definitely reached the level of a fifth-grade True Immortal.
However, what shocked Yan Jie and Xiao Ren even more was that the rotten flesh on Qin Ziling's body was recovering and the aura of death on him was gradually disappearing, replaced by vigorous vitality and strong blood.
"Impossible!" Yan Jie and Xiao Ren exclaimed.
"Hehe, Yan Gu and Shan Yuan said the same thing." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Yan Gu, Shan Yuan, you actually know them!" When the two heard this, their heads were like thunder, and an extremely strong sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts.
"Of course, they are good people just like you! Without them and you, if I really have to follow the steps, I don't know how to train my Hades Immortal General! Now, they are one step closer to the sixth-grade Hades Immortal General. I don't know how many spies your Netherworld Mansion has lurking in the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea. Why don't you tell me so that I don't have to investigate?" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
As he spoke, five black lights flew out from his body and landed in five directions in the space where the two of them were.
The black light twisted, revealing five Hades Immortal Generals, each emitting a sinister and powerful aura of death.
"Fifth-rank Hades Immortal General! Fifth-rank Hades Immortal General! You have been deceiving us the whole time!" Yan Jie and Xiao Ren were so angry when they saw the five Hades Immortal Generals including Si Shou appear. They stared at Qin Ziling and wished they could tear him apart alive.
"I can't help it. You guys are so easy to fool." Qin Ziling shrugged helplessly, then waved his hand and said, "Kill him!"
At Qin Ziling's command, the gates to the underworld appeared in the space where Yan Jie and Xiao Ren were, and there were five of them.
On each of the five gates of the underworld stands an immortal general, each holding a magic weapon, guarding the gate of the underworld like a goalkeeper.
It is the "Five-Direction Prison-Suppressing Battle Formation".
The four heads held a devil hook in their hands. As soon as it raised the hook, the gate of the underworld behind it began to surge with the death force of the underworld and into the hook. Almost at the same time, the other four gates of the underworld began to become illusory.
The "Five-Direction Prison-Suppressing Battle Formation" is a battle formation that can gather the power of the five directions, and can also divide and attack them.
If one of the four heads attacks, the five Hades generals will attack together.
The magic hook was in the air, with black chains lingering, covering the sky and the sun, grabbing down at Yan Jie and Xiao Ren on the head.
Yan Jie and Xiao Ren's faces changed drastically when they saw this, and they burst out with all their strength without thinking.
The Black Evil Xuanshui Knife and the Earth Ghost Sword suddenly rushed towards the Prison Demon Hook.
"Dang! Dang!" two sounds.
The Black Evil Xuanshui Knife and the Earth You Sword fell to the ground with a sound.
“Puff! Puff!”
Yan Jie and Xiao Ren bleed out of their mouths, their Qi, blood and immortal power were turbulent in their bodies, making their injuries worse.
There was no other way. The power of the "Five Directions Prison-Suppressing Battle Formation" set up by the Five Nether Immortals was already comparable to that of a powerful Sixth-Rank True Immortal. Now with the selfless dedication of these two people, its power was even greater.
The current strength of the two is comparable to that of a fifth-grade True Immortal, so how can they resist?
At this moment, Ape Da sacrificed the Prison Demon Knife, Ape Er sacrificed the Prison Demon Sword, Bear Da sacrificed the Prison Demon Pestle, and Ying Bao sacrificed the Prison Demon Halberd and attacked together.
Seeing this, Yan Jie and Xiao Ren, whose lamp oil had long been exhausted, showed despair in their eyes. They only resisted for a few moves before being hacked to death.
