Chapter 95: A Little Bit of Trump Card

That Peng Yao swooped down, and the five people below reacted in various ways.

The two Zhen Xian Jing elders surged with Xian Li, strengthening the array while preparing for an all-out fight;

Youqin Xuanya immediately rushed to the side of Li Changshou and Ling E, with flying swords from her sword box unsheathing to steadily protect the three of them.

As for Ling E and 'Li Changshou'...

Ripples like those on a water surface appeared under their feet, and their soles had already sunk half an inch into the ground, ready at any moment to...

Use Tu Dun to escape.

Caw—

The Peng Yao, still a hundred zhang in the air, suddenly let out a sharp cry, spread its wings, and from under its several-zhang-long wings, dozens of long nails flew out, assaulting the array below!

Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission to Youqin Xuanya, telling her to hold steady for now.

Youqin Xuanya gripped the porcelain bottle that 'carried their fate' in her left hand, formed a sword finger with her right hand and held it in front of her, her simply tied long hair gently fluttering as she raised her head and gazed at the Peng Yao.

She sensed that behind the Peng Yao, there was an even more terrifying presence...

Even though she was only in the Gui Dao Jing and not yet an immortal, Youqin Xuanya's gaze showed no trace of cowardice.

Only determination, only to fight!

Ling E glanced at Li Changshou, her eyes full of admiration, as if saying:

'Youqin Shijie is so cool.'

'Li Changshou' smiled faintly, didn't respond, and his gaze also fell on that Tian Xian in the sky...

This guy was unexpectedly quite troublesome.

The nails fell densely, and the two Zhen Xian Jing elders acted together, making the array's light wall tremble chaotically, several times on the verge of breaking;

After all, it was a hastily set up protective array.

The Peng Yao judged that it had tested the strength of the array below, and with a 'ga ga' cold laugh from its bird beak...

It first looked up at the Tian Xian old daoist in the air, then dived down toward below again!

At this time, Li Changshou's voice transmission immediately entered Youqin Xuanya's ear:

“Shimei, prepare.”

Youqin Xuanya perked up, fully focused on observing the situation.

When the Peng Yao charged, she lightly shouted:

“Please, elders, withdraw the array!”

The two Zhen Xian Jing elders simultaneously retracted their Xian Li, and the array's light wall instantly disappeared!

The Peng Yao's path was now unobstructed, ferociously diving down with surging demonic power, directly attacking the two already injured outer affairs elders!

These two elders, at this moment, were really sweating for themselves...

At this moment, Youqin Xuanya remained very calm. Facing the strong pressure from the Zhen Xian Jing great demon, she seized the opportunity, uncorked the porcelain bottle, and wrapped it with her magic power...

In this situation, this little Gui Dao Jing practitioner didn't tremble at all.

When the Peng Yao rushed near the two Zhen Xian Jing elders, Youqin Xuanya, as per Li Changshou's earlier voice transmission instructions, lightly shouted and directly threw the porcelain bottle out!

“Elders, retreat!”

The two elders immediately dodged left and right, but they both thought of something at the same time, each turning their heads to look, and in an instant...

Four old eyes widened, their eyeballs almost popping out!

The poison pill was meant to be activated with Xian Li to release its toxicity stealthily to harm the enemy, not to smash it directly like this!

That Peng Yao's one bird eye stared at Youqin Xuanya, showing a hint of contempt, and with a surge of demonic power, it swept toward the flying porcelain bottle, intending to shake the poison pill inside away...

At this very moment!

A burst of fire erupted behind the porcelain bottle, and Youqin Xuanya's flying sword had already struck the porcelain bottle!

The porcelain bottle shattered instantly, and the poison pill inside also exploded, scattering its toxicity everywhere!

The demonic power that the Peng Yao fanned out, however, mysteriously disappeared...

The two elders opened their mouths, slightly dumbfounded...

The Peng Yao was still more than ten zhang above the ground, but its demonic body shuddered, and it plummeted headfirst, crashing into the edge of the great array and lying there motionless.

This...

It works?

Even the two elders, and Youqin Xuanya herself, were somewhat surprised at this moment.

In their hearts, they all involuntarily felt the same:

'Elder Wan Lin Jun's refined poison pill is indeed formidable!'

However, the actual situation was...

Throwing the bottle like this to release the poison naturally wouldn't work; it was just that Li Changshou had secretly made a move.

In that instant, the demonic power that the Peng Yao released was dispelled by this 'Ren Zi San Hao' paper daoist secretly;

And the poison pill exploding directly only released a weak toxicity.

What knocked out the Peng Yao was the knockout drug that Li Changshou secretly released.

Li Changshou arranged it this way just to have a common memory with Youqin Xuanya throwing the poison pill, where everyone passed out together.

And the knockout drug he secretly spread wasn't just enough for this Peng Yao...

The two elders closest to the demon Peng suddenly felt dizzy, their figures swaying, and they slowly lay down.

Elder Tian, holding on with his last bit of Xian Li, looked at Youqin Xuanya and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

“Xuanya...

The poison isn't thrown directly like that...”

With a few clangs, Youqin Xuanya's flying swords fell from the air. She didn't have time to respond, her eyes slowly closed, and her body went limp, falling directly from mid-air...

Ling E took two steps forward and hurriedly hugged her shijie, about to use Tu Dun to hide.

But Ling E suddenly felt her vision go black, hugging Youqin Xuanya, and they both fell to the ground together...

'Shixiong, you really...'

Ling E sighed inwardly, obediently passing out, without much worry.

'Li Changshou's' figure also swayed, he held his head and groaned twice, slowly falling down, just happening to protect his shimei beside him.

This demon and four people, plus one paper daoist, were sprawled out on the hillside.

At first glance, there were no flaws; it was just that Youqin Xuanya didn't know how to use the poison and was knocked out by her own knockout drug.

However, the Tian Xian old daoist in the sky, upon seeing this, just coldly smiled, and actually...

Didn't come down directly.

The old daoist took out a large seal and a treasure bead, first sacrificed the treasure bead to hover above his head, sprinkling a green light to envelop himself;

Then, he threw the large seal toward the place where the several people were, from afar.

The large seal grew with the wind, instantly becoming dozens of zhang long and wide, surrounded by treasure light;

With Tian Xian realm cultivation added to it, it seemed to want to directly collapse this valley!

In a certain dark, narrow corner, Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly.

This old daoist, clearly in the Tian Xian realm, and the five people below had been knocked out by their own drug, yet he still wouldn't come down and used a treasure to attack from afar...

Li Changshou sighed inwardly.

He had actually encountered such a tricky opponent, a fellow cautious one!

Good thing his preparations were thorough enough.

Watching the large seal smash down quickly, bringing thousands of layers of air waves and rolling yuan qi, though imposing, it carried a hint of probing.

Li Changshou wasn't panicked; he glanced at the sensing stone and then at the entrance of the cave deep in the valley.

His immortal sense covered within three hundred li, searching for other dangers.

The 'Ren Zi San Hao' paper daoist lying on the ground didn't move;

But from the sleeve of this paper daoist, the treasure pouch made from spirit beast skin opened silently, and several jade frogs jumped out, curiously looking at the surroundings and staying idly nearby...

At this moment, a emaciated old daoist emerged from the grass not far away.

The old daoist said nothing, took out a square 'chessboard' from his embrace, and threw the 'chessboard' directly into the air.

From it, seventy-two 'miniature array bases' like chess pieces shot out;

The array bases interconnected, spiritual power flowed within them, unfolding a layer of light wall in the air!

The large seal smashed down just at this time!

But the light wall only shook slightly, not only steadily blocking the treasure seal but even directly bouncing it away.

This chessboard was not an ordinary array disk, nor a magic tool;

It was Li Changshou's extension based on the Luotian Bao San's idea, a solid step on the path of array miniaturization...

A small step.

But the drawback of array miniaturization is that the array base itself has insufficient spiritual power.

Although this array blocked the seal's smash, it quickly dimmed and dissipated on its own, with the array bases' spiritual power exhausted, returning to the chessboard...

Truly a one-time protective array.

Overall, the effect of this miniature array, although far inferior to powerful defensive magic treasures, still bought enough time.

In the instant the array unfolded, several large hands probed out from the ground, dragging the unconscious two elders, Ling E, and Youqin Xuanya into the underground together.

Even the outer affairs elder from Bai Fan Hall, who was somewhat acquainted with Li Changshou, couldn't escape being roughly grabbed by the hair...

No way; most Qi refiners have flowing long hair, so this part is the most handy to grab.

Only the San Hao paper daoist was left on the ground.

As for who this emerging old daoist is...

Currently, Li Changshou's paper daoists are not just three types; actually, there are five types in total, numbered as:

Tian, Di, Ren, Shen, Gui.

Shen Zi paper daoist: One of Li Changshou's trump cards, for high-end battles, accompanies Li Changshou's main body, same quality as Tian Zi paper daoist, but carries many trump cards.

This suddenly appearing old daoist is Shen Zi Yi Hao.

He simulated the aura fluctuations of the late Zhen Xian Jing, with surging Xian Li all over his body, remotely confronting the Tian Xian old daoist above.

The Tian Xian old daoist in the air narrowed his eyes;

Palming the treasure seal, with the green bead above his head, his sleeve robes billowing, he flew toward the old daoist on the ground.

Shen Zi Yi Hao grasped a dust whisk magic treasure, the silver threads of which were coated with Tian Xian poison...

This Shen Zi Yi Hao paper daoist shouted lowly, his figure soaring into the sky, muttering incantations, with a deep blue thunder brewing in his left palm.

One above and one below, the two old daoists, still hundreds of zhang apart, directly sacrificed treasures and cast spells at each other from afar!

Above, the treasure seal smashed horizontally; that Tian Xian old daoist had blood light flashing in his eyes and in his hand appeared a purple long sword, chopping out rays of divine light.

Below, the old daoist was enveloped in Xian Li, his movements ghostly and hard to grasp, the divine thunder in his palm bloomed, using precisely the 'Luotian Yang Lei Zhen Jue'!

In the air, a great battle unfolded; divine thunder shot out, treasures flew chaotically, swords swung the dust whisk, old branches trembled chaotically!

This Tian Xian realm old daoist soon discovered that this suddenly appeared opponent, although his aura was Zhen Xian Jing, the power of his spells and the quality of his Xian Li seemed even stronger than his own...

For a while, he couldn't take down this Zhen Xian old daoist!

Unexpectedly, a few strands of silver thread from the dust whisk fell like silver needles, secretly stabbing toward the Tian Xian old daoist's neck.

However, the treasure bead above the Tian Xian old daoist's head trembled slightly, sprinkling strands of green light, directly melting the silver needles.

That was...

In the darkness, Li Changshou's eyebrows raised, sensing a somewhat familiar aura from it.

This green treasure bead...

Was refined from the Chi Yang Poison Dragon's dragon bead, an anti-poison treasure!

Good stuff...

With this treasure on the opponent, the effect of his poisons would be greatly reduced.

But Li Changshou still remained unhurried, his mind on the Shen Zi Yi Hao paper daoist, calculating the Xian Li consumption of this paper daoist;

The paper daoist used the dust whisk like a brush, writing golden characters in the air.

Divine ability: Writing scriptures to form laws.

For a time, dozens of golden characters flew chaotically in the thunder light.

That Tian Xian realm old daoist suddenly felt pressure; being bombarded by the large characters, his own Xian Li surged chaotically.

After just fighting for a while, the Tian Xian old daoist was already lightly injured...

Although the Shen Zi Yi Hao paper daoist had only consumed 20% of his Xian Li, he deliberately showed a flaw, got grazed by the treasure seal, his whole body of immortal light trembled chaotically, and his figure fell toward a forest below.

— Paper daoists have Xian Li protecting their bodies, which to a certain extent compensates for their defensive shortcomings, just consuming more Xian Li.

In the air, that Tian Xian realm's blood pattern puppet finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the principle of 'strike while the iron is hot' in the Great Desolation's battle guidelines, this Tian Xian old daoist quickly chased downward.

Although Li Changshou also wanted to test if, with his divine abilities, he could use the Shen Zi paper daoist carrying many trump cards to single-handedly fight an ordinary mid-Tian Xian realm Qi refiner,

But battles are no child's play; when it's time to cut, cut, quick decisive battle.

In the trunks of several large trees in the forest, three figures who had just taken position slowly opened their eyes, and the miniature array disks in their sleeves had already been activated with Xian Li...
