As expected, due to the gap in cultivation level, Zhao Yan inevitably underestimated Gu Xu's achievements in spiritual and soul.

She never expected that at this critical moment, Gu Xu not only did not defend himself in his own sea of ​​consciousness, but also launched a counterattack against her so decisively.

Her spirit suddenly disappeared.

The next second, the dark and deep night fell in her sea of ​​consciousness, and countless stars were like gems, inlaid with them, exuding a majestic aura.

In her perception, her consciousness world seemed to be no longer her own territory, but instead became the territory of gods above the nine heavens. Although she could not see the traces of the gods, she could faintly feel her eyes falling on her body, which made her unconsciously feel awe in her heart and dare not act rashly.

"Is this the unique skill taught to him by Luo Sizhuo?" Zhao Yan guessed in a serious mood.

The martial arts and martial arts created by the Exorcist Secretariat, such as "Stars", "Meteors Walking the Moon", "Cloud Sea, Star River Sword", etc., are basically related to the stars. Because of this, when she first saw the stars in the sky, she thought of this saint with a high status.

Fortunately, Zhao Yan is not an ordinary monk.

She was gifted and had extremely rich combat experience. Faced with this unexpected crisis, she was not panicked. Instead, at the moment when "Star Yuan" was about to completely invade her sea of ​​consciousness, she immediately summoned the golden phoenix flying out of her body.

The phoenix's wings were wrapped in raging fire, illuminating the deep night sky as bright as day. The stars in the sky also looked a little dimly under the dazzling firelight.

Even though "Xingyuan" is an extremely genius soul spell, it still does not take much advantage under this realm gap.

Of course, Gu Xu does not expect to subdue his opponent directly through "Xingyuan".

After all, his original intention was to defend himself and gain time for the silver wine pot.

Seeing Zhao Yan's golden phoenix turn around and fly back, he also withdraws the "Star Yuan" spell and continues to use his body technique to chase the silver wine bowl that is constantly rolling towards the depths of the cave.

"What a cunning guy." Zhao Yan saw his actions in his eyes, saw through his tricks, couldn't help but sneer, and commented in her heart.

At the same time, she flickered, and she controlled the spear and stopped the middle between Gu Xu and Yin Jiubao.

Gu Xu looked up at her, took out a piece of talisman paper again, quickly recited the spell silently, and threw it at her.

With the keen insight of the fifth-level monk, Zhao Yan clearly captured that the picture of this talisman is outlined from golden ink, shaped like a phoenix flying with its wings spreading. Just looking at it, you can feel a burning air coming towards you.

A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes.

It's not just because this talisman contains terrible energy that threatens her.

Moreover, because the phoenix painted on this talisman paper is quite similar to her out-of-body soul in terms of form and charm. Even the hot breath gives her a familiar feeling.

"This shouldn't be a coincidence." Zhao Yan frowned and thought to herself.

However, today is her first time in a soul-level contest with Gu Xu.

Even if Gu Xu is a genius, he will not be able to create a brand new and powerful talisman while fighting fiercely in this short period of time.

"Could it be...Isn't this the first time he has seen me?"

Zhao Yan had a keen mind and soon remembered that day after she went to the Exorcist Department to challenge Chu Fengge, Shangguan Jin once mentioned that Gu Xu was also in the yamen at that time.

Because she is proud and always disdains to compete with monks with lower realms than her, she did not take the initiative to look for Gu Xu.

But Gu Xu was probably hiding in the crowd, quietly watched the battle, and learned about her powerful methods.

Even learn and learn from it and use it for your own purposes.

While thinking, Zhao Yan held the "Yizhang Power" tightly and used the fourth "Liaoyuan Gun" "Hu Yue Fenghuo" style, swept towards Gu Xu's waist, blocking his way with a powerful gun intention.

This is the most violent and violent gesture among the "Liaoyuan Gun".

Mars burst out at the tip of the gun, and red light flashed, drawing a bloody arc of moon in the dim cave.

In an instant, the tip of the gun penetrated the talisman paper, the sound of the phoenix sounded through the cave, and golden light rushed in. In this terrifying battle of power, the surrounding rock walls began to tremble violently, sand, soil, and gravel rolled down one after another, and even the entire floating mountain could not withstand the battle between the two geniuses.

It shaking and trembling, as if it could split in half at any time and fall from high altitude.

Zhao Yan also felt a rare pressure from the burning talisman - it was a pressure that other peers of the Great Qi Dynasty had never brought to her, and it was also a pressure that she had been looking forward to for a long time, and perhaps could make her stronger.

She pursed her red lips slightly, urging the "holy fire totem" all over her body to defend against the impact of the true energy that exploded in an instant.

The golden light looked like the feathers of a phoenix, soft and dazzling, but in fact it was a sharp blade and a ruthless flame.

Despite the obstruction of the "holy fire totem", Zhao Yan's cultivation was ultimately suppressed by the secret law and could not exert her full strength.

Therefore, there was still a golden light that inevitably penetrated her defense, tearing her wide sleeves and skirt apart, and drew a few clear blood marks on her fair and moist skin. The broken silk cloth seemed to turn into countless bright red butterflies, dancing in the wild airflow.

As a beautiful beauty with a peerless beauty, her injuries did not damage her appearance. Instead, together with the "holy fire totem" flashing red, it added a bit of weird temperament to her - just like the witches who harmed the country and the people in the legend, combining temptation and danger.

With the powerful perception ability of the fifth-level cultivator, she accurately locked Gu Xu's position in the overwhelming dazzling golden light, then swung her gun again and stabbed her suddenly.

In fact, with her superb martial arts, she just relied on her body skills to dodge several feet away to avoid the attack range of Gu Xu's talisman magic.

But she chose not to dodge or avoid, and withstood this fierce attack.

It's not because she's overconfident.

But because she doesn't want to miss the opportunity.

According to the calculations in her mind, the tip of her gun would penetrate Gu Xu's throat like a flash of lightning.

Gu Xu would never have time to take out the second talisman. With his untouched body, he would never be able to withstand this thunder attack.

"Goodbye," she looked at the golden light in front of her and said silently in her heart, "You are indeed a powerful opponent. If you change the occasion, I will definitely play a few more moves with you.

“But today is different.

“I have to get the ‘Flint’.”

Zhao Yan's eyes were calm and she looked forward, waiting for Gu Xu to crush the jade talisman and escape from the battlefield, or be rescued by a saint.

But just as the golden light dissipated and her vision became clearer, her face suddenly changed.

Because she found that her spear did not pierce the opponent's flesh and blood, but was carrying a thin paper man - this paper man looked exactly the same as Gu Xu, but there were complex runes painted in her eyes.

"The art of finishing the eyes and spirits?" she frowned and murmured.

Although this magic is not widely circulated, Zhao Yan, as the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Youzhou, has read a lot of books since she was a child, and has fought with countless talented monks, and recognized it at a glance.

The problem is that according to the book, the puppet created by the "finishing the touch" spell is low in intelligence and has no life breath.

It is impossible to deceive its perception.

This...what is going on?

Zhao Yan, who was not "fear", also felt a little uneasy in her heart at this moment.

She felt that the battle situation seemed to be out of control.

"Ms. Zhao, Kong Xuansanren's 'puppy technique' has been reappeared in the world today. What do you think?" Gu Xu's voice sounded in her ears.

There is no clear source of this sound.

In other words, it seems to come from three different directions behind it, like three rivers converging together, then resonating loudly in the cave.

"Kongxuan Sanren..." Zhao Yan silently recited the name.

She remembered that she had indeed read in the information that Gu Xu and a group of young monks went to the ruins of Laoshan not long ago - and Gu Xu was the only lucky person to climb to the top of the mountain and get the inheritance of Kong Xuansanren.

But just as she was thinking about the problem, two talismans suddenly flew towards her from two completely different directions.

One made "Yizhangwei" fall out of her hands.

A rope that turned into a thick one, tied her tightly from head to toe, and her hands were also tied behind her.

As soon as her feet slipped, she fell backwards and fell to the ground with a "thump", and a severe pain came from her buttocks.

"Disarming Talisman".

"Binding Talisman".

She quickly recognized the method the other party used.

According to the book, these are all very basic entry-level talismans with no technical content.

But strangely, when faced with these entry-level talismans, she accidentally fell into the trap!

For a highly anticipated genius monk like Zhao Yan, it is simply an ulterior motive.

She prayed silently to God, hoping that the saints would be merciful and never put the scene of this moment on the light curtain of the Luo River - if the people of the whole country saw her tied up with a caterpillar with a "tie tied up", then her heroic reputation would be destroyed.

"It seems that Gu Xu talked to me about 'Kongxuan Sanren', and he was definitely not trying to tell me his tricks kindly, but to stimulate my curiosity and distract me from it," she thought to herself, "What a sinister and cunning bastard."

While thinking, Zhao Yan was brewing her true energy, preparing to burn off the ropes, get rid of the constraints, and teach that sinister guy a lesson.

However, at this moment, snow suddenly flew in the cave.

The snowflakes quickly fell all over the ground, making the cave covered in silver and the cold air was overwhelming.

Zhao Yan found that the "holy fire totem" on her body suddenly failed - not only that, her true energy seemed to be solidified in her meridians and could not function normally.

At this time, she looked like a poor girl caught by a robber in a parody. She was wearing a torn dress and tied up all over her body. There were several red wounds on her pale skin, and she fell helplessly on the ground.

Gu Xu's figure also appeared in her vision.

Two paper men and one real man.

The real person stood in the middle, holding a slender brush in his hand - Zhao Yan could guess that it was the famous "Jinghong Pen" of the Great Wilderness.

The two paper men each held a thick stack of talismans.

From the front, these two paper people are exactly the same as Gu Xu, and it is difficult to distinguish - but from the side, they are only the thickness of one piece of paper, giving people a terrifying feeling.

"Miss Zhao, in terms of strength and physical strength, Master Talisman is indeed not as good as a warrior," Gu Xu smiled and said softly, "But in terms of the tricks that can be used in battle, the warrior is far inferior to Master Talisman."
