Chapter 253 Breaking the Rules
After the first update, a cloud of dark clouds that were inseparable from the night sky flew from the west, avoiding the heavy warning set by the talisman masters, plunged from thousands of feet high, and rushed straight to Duanliu City. After halfway down, it hit the talisman ban and triggered more than a dozen spells. However, the dark clouds fell too fast, and all the spells were empty, leaving only lightning that appeared in a flash, like lightning.
The first snow was slowly falling, and the people on both sides of the Jiehe River were attracted by the sudden light in the air. It was not until the snowflakes fell on their cheeks to bring the coldness of the skin that they realized how strange the lightning in this season was.
The dark clouds continued to descend at a rapid speed, and suddenly stretched out a pair of wings that were several feet long and turned around in the air. The speed was faster. There were more than a dozen bright red lights behind him, and a large number of red light balls were opening the way in front of him. When the light ball encountered the patrol flying talisman, it exploded, opening up a way forward for the master.
What's strange is that people on the ground can clearly see the red light, and even vaguely see the black giant bird, but cannot hear any sound. Even when the light ball explodes, it will only suddenly amplify and disappear suddenly, without a sound of breaking through the air.
The giant bird was too fast. When the talisman masters guarding everywhere responded and sacrificed the flying talismans one after another, it had already descended to a height of more than a hundred feet above Duanliu City. It was here that it encountered a real obstacle.
With a bang, the sound finally came out this time. The whole Duanliu City shook like a toy for a few times, and the vibration spread to hundreds of miles away. Mu Xingqiu and others felt it at this time.
There are not many refugees in Duanliu City, so there is no big chaos.
The giant bird suddenly turned sharply and flew up again. More than a dozen red lights behind its tail hit the invisible spell shield, causing another vibration and loud noise. The giant bird was not satisfied and launched continuous attacks, undulating and hovering in the air. The red lights formed a group of almost enveloped the entire Duanliu City.
There were also some defenders in the city, as well as the people and talisman masters who were building the altar. At this time, they felt like they were riding on a big ship, with stormy waves below, and they were all shocked.
They could not see the counterattack launched by the Taoist priests in the city.
Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao Imperial Vessels flew towards Duanliu City. From a distance, they saw colorful dragons rising from the ground, gradually forming a large cage that imprisoned the giant birds.
This is Shen Jixian's fight back. As the first leader of the Five Elements Department, he is proficient in five types of spells such as gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and is much more powerful than the other top leaders. He attacks with a moderate attack and does not chase behind the giant bird to make moves, but weaves a large net to cut off the enemy's escape route.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the giant bird is unscrupulous, but in the eyes of Taoist priests and high talisman masters, it faces a catastrophe.
Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao were not worried about the safety of Duanliu City. They flew at normal speed and carefully appreciated the spells of the first five elements department.
"I think we are useless anymore." Xin Youtao called out a wooden thorn. He watched it shoot into the night sky and shook his head, feeling that his strength was too far from Shen Jixian. "If Qi Wushang had sent such a big monster a long time ago, we could not stop it."
Zuo Liuying never took action, and one of his goals was to show his enemy weakness. The Supreme General Qi Wushang kept the big demon around him, and wanted to fight against Luanjing Mountain. He never thought that the small Duanliu City would bring so much trouble.
"Not necessarily." Mu Xingqiu admitted that the giant bird was very powerful, much stronger than the last demon king, but his habit was always thinking about how to defeat the enemy first, rather than admitting the gap in strength.
"You have a way?" Xin Youtao asked with a smile, not very convinced.
"Uh... not for the time being." Mu Xingqiu thought about it. It was not the crisis that he could not find a good solution. The fact that he could win the last battle was luck and luck. "Turn it directly to Zuo Liuying."
Xin Youtao laughed, "In that case, Zuo Liuying will never let you make decisions again."
Mu Xingqiu's heart moved, "The big bird is about to run."
"Huh? I can't tell. The net of Shenshou is about to take shape. It wants to run away..."
Before Xin Youtao finished speaking, the situation above Duanliu City suddenly changed. The black giant bird suddenly turned into a dark cloud again, and it was a large loose area, as if it was blown by a bottom-up wind, rising rapidly.
The colorful dragons also surrounded at the same moment, and the dark clouds were split and cut off.
Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao couldn't see clearly what was going on, so they could only speed up and quickly return to Duanliu City Inn.
Except for Zuo Liuying, the other Taoist priests were all around, forming a circle, standing in the middle, Shen Jixian staring at a black feather in his hand, and the red light and dark clouds in the air had disappeared.
The two landed on the ground, and Xin Youtao asked in a low voice: "How do you know it is going to run?"
"It is not coming to attack Duanliu City, but to confirm whether the Ancestor Tower is really here." Mu Xingqiu replied in a low voice. The attack launched by the giant bird just now was very regular, obviously testing the strength of the protective cover, and wanted to guess the level of the magic device through this method...
Taoists can cast powerful five-element spells, but most persistent spells still require magic tools.
Shen Jixian confirmed Mu Xingqiu's speculation, "This is a black phoenix, who uses twin magic to come to check the situation in Duanliu City." He threw away the feathers in his hand, "It only sacrificed one feather."
Shen Jixian could have tracked the black phoenix body parked in the sky, but he didn't want to be too far from the Patriarch Tower, so he had to let it go. He looked at the Taoist priests in the yard and said for a while: "I am 678 years old this year. Since I reached the seventh level of Starfall at the age of 221, I have never made any progress on the road of cultivation. I thought my life and death had passed like this, and I would never have encountered such a thing: the master's life and death are unknown, the ancestor closed the mountain, and I would fight side by side with several inhaled Taoist priests to protect the Patriarch Tower."
"We have protected three times." Yang Qingyin reminded.
"You did a very good job." Shen Jixian smiled, "It exceeded everyone's expectations. I believe that even Zuo Liuying was actually surprised. What I want to say is that the great changes in the world are just the beginning, and all the conventional methods are useless. For example, the Black Phoenix and Twin Magic, I have only seen them in books, but today I can see them with my own eyes. The strength of the demon clan is unexpected, and we can no longer stick to the rules, not to mention that Pang Shan still owes you a favor, and it is unclear to just a few magic weapons."
There were eight Taoist priests in total, all of whom were inexplicably heard it. Only Yang Qingyin thought for a while and smiled, "What is better than magical tools is practice. Do you want to give it to us..."
"That's right, Daohuo Infant Pill, I want to give each of you one."
Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao called out in surprise at the same time, but the others didn't know what pill was. Xin Youtao even muttered in a low voice: "It's so scary to hear the name."
Shen Jixian looked at Xiao Qingtao, "Pei...Shurong, right? You are my disciple of the Five Elements Department. Fortunately, because of you, there is light on my face."
Xiao Qingtao had never met the first director several times before, let alone talked much. Now he was praised in public and his face suddenly turned bright.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of this Fire Infant Pill?" Shen Jixian immediately added, "To be more detailed, I see that many people seem to know nothing about our Five Elements Spirit Pill."
Xiao Qingtao nodded solemnly and coughed, "Cultivation does not always follow step by step. The so-called 'hard work is achieved in a thousand days' means that it will break through at a certain moment after a long period of practice. In fact, the potential is already enough, or even several times more, but it is just that it cannot be further increased due to other reasons. The Daohuo Infant Pill is used to break the 'other reasons'. As long as one's own practice is sufficient, it can turn its potential into magic power and rise to several levels."
"That's right, but you can't cross the realm." Shen Jixian spread his right hand, and there was a box in his palm. "It may cause you to rise directly from the first level of inhalation to the seventh level, but it is impossible to get you to the realm of Gu Xia. The improvement of the realm not only depends on the power of the magic, but also on the heart. The heart has a Taoist disaster and has not been overcome. Even if it works a hundred times hard, even if the potential has already reached the standard, it still cannot reach the new realm." Shen Jixian sighed, "This is the difference between me and Zuo Liuying."
Everyone's eyes lit up. They didn't care why Shen Jixian couldn't reach the realm of being a god, but were just excited about how they could get this reward.
"Is this thing very expensive?" Yang Qingyin didn't know much about the Taoist Fire Infant Pill, "and only allow disciples of the Five Elements Department to take it."
"Cultivation is a hard job to survive the years. However, disciples of the Five Elements Department often have to go out to kill demons and eliminate demons, which wastes a lot of time. Therefore, the Taoist dynasty sets rules, and the Daohuo Infant Pill only rewards disciples of the Five Elements Department who perform well." Shen Jixian sighed, "But the rules cannot stop the demon soldiers. I need your help. So this is both a reward and a forced one. The stronger you become, the greater the help you will be."
"But I've already inhaled for seven levels. Wouldn't it be useless if I eat it?" Everyone wanted to get the Daohuo Infant Pill as soon as possible, but only Yang Qingyin's questions came one by one.
"You can keep it or eat it now. Although you can't get to the level of Meat and Xia, you can still improve one or two levels when you take this step yourself."
"Don't my potential be enough to improve four or five levels at once?"
Shen Jixian shook his head and stopped answering Yang Qingyin's questions. He opened the small box to reveal the pills inside.
More than ten red fireballs the size of fingernails were really burning, and they even made a slight crackling sound. Shen Jixian took out one, which seemed to be burning at all, so he handed it to Xiao Qingtao first, "The potential is yours, but the potential is sometimes unchanged, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it is difficult to control. The Daohuo Baby Pill can stimulate it and fix it from now on. So how much improvement can be achieved after taking the pill depends entirely on how much hard work you have done and how much potential you have."
The last one to receive the pill was Mu Xingqiu. Shen Jixian looked at him, "Even a Taoist priest who practices the art of defiance of heaven will not refuse help."
Mu Xingqiu didn't think about refusing, so he reached out to take the pill. It was really hot to buy it. If he hadn't been much stronger than mortals after practicing, he wouldn't have been able to withstand this kind of heat.
"There is no good day, eat now."
Eight Taoist priests swallowed the pills at the same time, even Yang Qingyin was no exception.
