How many times does a normal person have to die in the world of cultivation?

Chapter 268 Temporary retreat

Inside the Purple Flame Treasure Gourd, Li Xiaoxiao saw clearly the figure that flew backwards, and it turned out to be the stubborn old thief!

At this moment, the stubborn old thief was in a state of disgrace, with resentment written all over his face. He looked at Li Xiaoxiao with resentment: "I didn't expect to meet you here. The treasure in this purple flame treasure gourd, don't even think about having it all to yourself!"

Li Xiaoxiao sneered: "Based on your current state, are you qualified to compete with me?"

After she finished speaking, spiritual energy surged around her body, and the light of the Naling Jade Gourd merged with her, turning into a layer of blazing flame shield.

The stubborn old thief didn't dare to attack rashly. He rolled his eyes and suddenly took out a black bead from his arms and threw it towards Li Xiaoxiao.

The bead exploded instantly, and a thick black smoke spread out. The smoke exuded a pungent smell and was mixed with traces of corrosive power.

Li Xiaoxiao held his breath and quickly retreated, while performing defensive moves. A wall of fire was built in front of him to resist the erosion of the black smoke.

Taking advantage of the smoke, he flashed and rushed towards Li Xiaoxiao, attempting to kill her with one blow. But how could Li Xiaoxiao let him succeed? She ignored the influence of the smoke, quickly formed seals with her hands, and summoned a huge flaming phoenix.

The phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, instantly passing through the smoke and swooping towards him.

The stubborn old thief sensed the danger and tried to resist, but was still hit by the phoenix's flames and let out a scream.

Li Xiaoxiao took advantage of the victory and pursued him, not giving him a chance to breathe.

Rays of flaming sword energy shot towards the stubborn old thief like a rainstorm.

Under this intensive attack, the stubborn old thief could only dodge left and right, but he was still scratched by the sword energy in many places, and his clothes were stained with blood.

"Hmph, a tiger in dire straits is bullied by dogs. Wu Xiji, don't be too proud too soon!" The stubborn old thief gritted his teeth and took out an ancient talisman from his arms. The talisman was flashing with a strange light.

He threw the talisman into the air, and it instantly turned into a huge black light curtain that enveloped him.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and increased his spiritual power output. The flaming sword energy continued to bombard the black light curtain, but the light curtain was extremely strong and could not be broken.

Just as Li Xiaoxiao was thinking about countermeasures, the Naling Jade Gourd suddenly vibrated again, and a powerful force surged into her body.

Li Xiaoxiao's mind moved, and she condensed the energy of the Naling Jade Gourd into a more powerful fire attack.

The flame was dazzling, carrying the power to destroy the world, and blasted towards the black light curtain.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the black light curtain was instantly broken. The powerful impact force knocked the stubborn old thief out, and he didn't stop for a long time without hitting anything.

It gives people an illusion of being boundless and without boundaries.

So when the stubborn old thief slammed his back against the wall, Li Xiaoxiao and he realized at the same time that this place was not an endless void.

Li Xiaoxiao was delighted, with a murderous look on his face, he approached quickly with the Naling Jade Gourd in his hand, his eyes full of coldness.

The stubborn old thief struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground again, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Today is the day you die." Flames flickered in Li Xiaoxiao's hands.

The stubborn old thief was vomiting blood and was dying. It seemed that he had no strength to resist anymore.

Li Xiaoxiao walked up to him, raised his hand seemingly casually, and a flame completely engulfed him.

After dealing with the stubborn old thief, Li Xiaoxiao still had a sense of unreality. Was the old man who had tried to kill her time and again in the simulator really dead?

She was worried and checked the charred body when suddenly a red light shot out and tried to penetrate into her forehead.

Li Xiaoxiao subconsciously tilted her head half a degree, and the red light penetrated into her brow bone.

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned. She raised her hand and touched her eyebrows. Then she heard Lingbao's voice: "My Queen, is this old man a gift from you?"

Li Xiaoxiao then realized that the red light just now was the soul of the stubborn old thief!

This old immortal just wanted to take over her body, but fortunately she dodged subconsciously, so he did not reach her sea of ​​consciousness, but instead entered the bronze tripod.

Generally, things that reach the bronze tripod will remain in a dormant state. Li Xiaoxiao probed his spiritual sense into it.

My goodness, this guy has turned into a red miniature man, showing his fangs and claws.

Suddenly Li Xiaoxiao realized, eh? She was already powerful enough to teleport the spirit into the bronze tripod!!!

Asked quickly.

Lingbao rolled his eyes cutely: "Don't dream, because this is just a spirit, it has no attack ability, so it is easy to get in, it's not that you have become stronger."

Li Xiaoxiao: …?╭╮? Killing someone means destroying their heart.

Turning her gaze back to the stone platform, she wanted to feel it carefully to see if there was anything she had missed.

Unfortunately, there was nothing left except this stone platform.

Since we are here now, we can’t throw away this stone platform.

So I wanted to put the stone platform into the sea to accommodate all rivers.

But despite her great efforts, the broken stone platform did not move at all.

Li Xiaoxiao touched her chin and felt that it was unreasonable. After all, she was quite strong.

So she changed her mindset and changed lifting to turning.

He first tried to rotate the stone platform counterclockwise, but the platform did not respond, so he started to rotate it clockwise.

Hey!

Only a "click" sound echoed in the darkness!

feasible!

With the crisp sound of "click", the entire strange space trembled violently in an instant, and the inner wall of the Purple Flame Treasure Gourd flickered with light and runes flowed.

Before Li Xiaoxiao had time to think about it, a strong suction force came from the mouth of the gourd. She was caught off guard and was swept away by this force, flying out of the gourd like an arrow.

At the same time, the numerous living beings that were originally absorbed into the Purple Flame Treasure Gourd were now falling down like flowers scattered from heaven.

For a moment, the sky was filled with panicked figures, and shouts and screams were intertwined.

Li Xiaoxiao fell freely in the air for a while, the sound of the wind whistling past his ears.

She quickly adjusted her state, circulated her spiritual power, and quickly stabilized her body.

The chaotic scene around her was too much for her to handle. After the various forces became aware of each other's existence, they immediately became hostile and a war was about to break out.

Several masters from the Blood Shadow Sect were also among them. They recognized Li Xiaoxiao, who had transformed into Wu Xiji, at a glance, and panic flashed in their eyes.

"That guy is there! The Taiyin Pot is on him. Ignore the others and catch him first!" Moye gave an order, and several black shadows rushed towards Li Xiaoxiao quickly.

Li Xiaoxiao clicked his tongue twice and quickly calculated his chances of winning in his mind. If he fought them head-on, he would definitely be outnumbered.

So she spotted the dense forest below and dived in without hesitation.

The dense branches and leaves instantly covered her figure, and the people from the Blood Shadow Sect lost track of her. They used their spiritual sense to investigate, but were bounced back by an unknown force.

"Hmph, this guy is quite cunning, search him for me!" Mo Xie said fiercely.

The members of the Blood Shadow Clan spread out in a fan shape and advanced towards the interior of the forest in a well-trained manner.

Li Xiaoxiao, who was hiding at the top of a big tree, had a panoramic view of it all.

She decided to take advantage of the complex terrain of the forest and launch a guerrilla war against the Blood Shadow Sect, defeating them one by one.

When a disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect passed by the big tree where Li Xiaoxiao was hiding, she jumped down from the tree silently and stabbed the Red Blood Sword in her hand into his neck.

The disciple didn't have time to react or scream before the Red Blood Sword sucked all his blood out and he fell to the ground in a dried mantle.

There was a slight noise when he fell to the ground.

"Who is it?" The nearby Blood Shadow Sect disciples heard the noise and rushed over here.

Li Xiaoxiao's figure flashed and quickly disappeared among the dense branches and leaves.

When the Blood Shadow Clan arrived, they only saw the dried corpses of their companions, but no sign of anyone else.

"That bastard must still be nearby, everyone be careful!" Everyone looked around vigilantly, holding their weapons tightly.

Li Xiaoxiao shuttled through the woods like a ghost, constantly looking for her next target.

She used her familiarity with the forest terrain to cleverly avoid the searches of the Blood Shadow Sect while launching attacks when they were least expected.

Another disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect was attacked from behind by Li Xiaoxiao during the search.

This time, Li Xiaoxiao unleashed a sword energy that instantly cut the disciple's throat, then used his spiritual power to lift him up and gently place him on the ground without making any sound.

After several consecutive times, the people of the Blood Shadow Sect became more and more panicked. They realized that they were facing an extremely tough opponent in this forest.

"Calm down! No matter how big this forest is, there's nowhere for him to escape.

Let's keep our formation and search slowly without splitting up!" Mo Xie noticed the chaos in the team and quickly spoke up to stabilize the situation.

However, Li Xiaoxiao did not give them a chance to reorganize.

She kept changing positions and launching attacks, making the Blood Shadow Sect members run around in a panic.

After repeated blows, the morale of the Blood Shadow Sect members gradually dropped and they began to fear the forest.

Mo Xie looked at the people he had brought with him and saw that there were only three of them left, and he couldn't suppress the veins on his forehead.

Just as Li Xiaoxiao was about to launch her next attack, she suddenly felt a powerful breath approaching the forest.

This breath made her heart shudder. She wondered if the masters of the Blood Shadow Sect had noticed the situation here and rushed over to support.

Or is there some other force involved?

Li Xiaoxiao did not dare to take it lightly. She decided to evacuate temporarily and look for a more favorable opportunity to launch an attack.

So she retreated quietly into the depths of the forest.
