The control right hand, Earth Demon wants to struggle forcefully. But after the left hand pinches explodes the heart, oneself body is completely uncontrolled, digs again to oneself eyes. 不好！强行控制右手,地魔想要挣扎。但左手捏爆心脏后,自身身体完全不受控制,又再度冲自己双眼挖去。 Entire body not independent, such as Soul Puppet is ordinary. 整个身体不受自主,如傀儡一般。 „You...... you made anything to me!” In the Earth Demon True Person heart the fear, finds not far away Jiang Yuanchen no longer to begin, ‚touching’ the Qilin corner/horn is holding appreciatively, responded: „Illusory Technique? No, impossible...... I to use Heavenly Demon secret techique to open the real territory from the beginning, how could commonplace Illusory Technique injured me?” “你……你对我做了什么！”地魔真人心中恐惧,瞧见不远处姜元辰不再动手,‘摸’着麒麟角把玩,反应过来:“幻术？不,不可能……我一开始就用天魔秘术开了真域,等闲幻术岂能伤我？” having heard what was said, Jiang Yuanchen scoffs to say with a smile: „fellow daoist, what was gives you to be self-confident, can you flee my Illusory Technique?” 闻言,姜元辰嗤笑道:“道友,是什么给了你自信,你能够逃离我的幻术？” Illusory Technique, Jiang Yuanchen Illusory Technique is superb, the fairy measures not. Solely is not Supreme Emptiness Way Sect bullies a day of technique, to will of the people soul ‚exercise’ controls is also far from the peer may compare. Can create Deva nine feeling laws ‚gate’, the research to soul is quite thorough. 幻术,姜元辰幻术出神入化,神鬼莫测。不单单是太虚道宗的欺天之术,对人心魂魄的‘操’控也远非同辈可比。能够创造天人九感法‘门’,对魂魄的研究极为透彻。 Looks that Earth Demon True Person controls the body forcefully, is struggling tenaciously. Jiang Yuanchen said in the one side spookily: „Person has three immortal souls and seven mortal forms, the Heaven and Earth soul not in the body, assigns/life the soul main vitality, the seven inferior souls controls ‚the meat’ body. fellow daoist is also True Person, although is outside the law becomes enlightened, but Earth Soul the homing, has wanted to deceive fellow daoist True Spirit to be very troublesome. Therefore, I cut off the fellow daoist life soul and seven inferior souls relation, ‚exercise’ controls your seven inferior souls.” 看着地魔真人强行控制身体,正在顽强挣扎。姜元辰在一旁幽幽道:“人有三魂七魄,天地魂不在身,命魂主生机,七魄控‘肉’身。道友也是真人,虽是外法成道,但地魂已经归位,想要欺瞒道友真灵很麻烦。因此,我才斩断道友命魂和七魄联系,‘操’控你的七魄。” Puts out a hand to open, the colors of seven grain of rice sizes ‚color’ brilliance twinkle. just now Jiang Yuanchen cuts with the Big Dipper seven stars sword to Earth Demon True Person, its main purpose does not offend somebody, but breaks among his three immortal souls and seven mortal forms to relate. But Illusory Technique method, Jiang Yuanchen when the domain opens from the beginning has displayed, but knows that in the Earth Demon True Person heart vigilant being hard injures him. Therefore draws the bow and not discharges the arrow the waiting opportunity. 伸手张开,有七颗米粒大小的彩‘色’光辉闪烁。方才姜元辰以北斗七星剑斩向地魔真人,其主要目的并非伤人,而是断他三魂七魄之间联系。而幻术手段,姜元辰在一开始领域张开时就已经施展,只是知道地魔真人心中警惕难以伤他。于是引而不发等待机会。 just now Earth Demon True Person diverts attention to use the technique of Land Dragon, Jiang Yuanchen seizes the opportunity to break his soul with the seven stars sword, inspires Illusory Technique instantaneously his seven inferior souls ‚fan’ ‚being puzzled’, integrates own control. 方才地魔真人分心施展地龙之术,姜元辰看准机会以七星剑断他魂魄,瞬间引动幻术将他七魄‘迷’‘惑’,纳入自己的掌控。 Now although Earth Demon True Person Thought Sense(consciousness) is sober, but merely is Primordial Spirit Pure Brightness. Besides Niman Palace ‚the meat’ body enters the Illusory Technique domain, making Earth Demon True Person present the strange scene at present. 如今虽然地魔真人意识清醒,但仅仅是元神清明。除了泥丸宫之外的‘肉’身进入幻术领域,让地魔真人眼前出现奇异景象。 The twofold entirely different scene, sees Jiang Yuanchen to stand before oneself, holds appreciatively the Qilin corner/horn. But another realm saw that Jiang Yuanchen is fighting with oneself, oneself by Jiang Yuanchen bang broken heart. 两重截然不同的景象,一层看到姜元辰站在自己面前,把玩麒麟角。而另一层境界看到姜元辰正在跟自己打斗,自己被姜元辰轰碎心脏。 In the heart clearly becomes aware, this is the different scenes that the three spirits and seven inferior souls see. One is real, one is the illusion. But even the illusion, can still injure through the seven inferior souls own ‚meat’ body. 心中明悟,这是自己三魂和七魄所看到的不同景象。一个是真实,一个是幻象。但即便是幻象,也能通过七魄伤害自己的‘肉’身。 „Even if you are not glad, the seven inferior souls in the hand, ‚the meat’ body turn over to me, where also has the leeway of resistance?” Is same like the villain. The Jiang Yuanchen fine motion finger, sees only the Earth Demon True Person left hand to enter the eye socket to dig out the eyeball, immediately Magic Power spits, two Sword Qi twist the broken brain palace, the Primordial Spirit separation. “即便是你再不乐意,七魄在手,‘肉’身归我,哪里还有反抗的余地？”如同反派一样。姜元辰微动手指,只见地魔真人左手伸入眼眶挖出眼珠子,随即法力一吐,两道剑气绞碎脑宫,元神分离而出。 The seven inferior souls fly into the Jiang Yuanchen hand, Earth Soul and life soul wraps divine artifact, yellow Mongolia Mongolia one group flies to the Heavenly Demon palace. 七魄飞入姜元辰手中,地魂与命魂包裹一件神器,黄‘蒙’‘蒙’一团飞向天魔宫。 Holds appreciatively the seven inferior souls. Jiang Yuanchen looks into the Heavenly Demon palace direction to show a faint smile, Purple Qi will infiltrate the seven inferior souls to deliver the seven inferior souls to belong to Primordial Spirit together, returns to the Heavenly Demon palace. „Injuring the Earth Demon seven inferior souls was very embarrassed, poor daoist helps him patch.” 把玩七魄。姜元辰眺望天魔宫方向微微一笑,将一道紫气打入七魄送七魄归入元神,回返天魔宫。“伤了地魔七魄很不好意思,贫道帮他修补一下。” Patching? Ji Jun finds Earth Demon Primordial Spirit to belong to the Heavenly Demon palace, does not dare to swallow directly, its takes the thorough examination in the hand. Just looked at this to thrash into together Purple Qi, what made? 修补？计俊瞧见地魔元神归入天魔宫,不敢直接吞噬,将其拿在手中仔细检查。刚刚看这厮打入一道紫气,到底做什么的？ „Also asked Sir Heavenly Demon to save me!” From the beginning, Primordial Spirit is ignorant, but spirit wisdom restores later, Earth Demon prays for rescue flustered. “还请天魔大人救我！”一开始,元神浑浑噩噩,但随后灵智恢复,地魔慌张求救。 Ji Jun is cold the face. Collecting Fear holds the chin to watch in the one side: „Although possibly is the camouflage, but this Daoist thoughts evil and cruel, is careful!” 计俊冷着脸。惧罗托着下巴在一旁观看:“虽然可能是障眼法,但这道人心思歹毒,还是小心点吧！” having heard what was said, Ji Jun cancels the Demon Spirit wisdom, ignores totally his calling for help. Repeatedly after the inspection, invests the Way Fruit demon palace to swallow Earth Demon Primal Divinity Way Fruit. Shortly, in the demon palace are many Demonic Way True Person, grasps the demon treasure to stand in the demon palace center. 闻言,计俊抹去地魔灵智,全然不顾他的呼救。反复检查之后把地魔元神道果投入自己道果魔宫吞噬。不久后,魔宫之中多出一位魔道真人,手持魔宝站立在魔宫中央。 „Also misses four.” Although Ji Jun was happy, but in the heart the anxiety is needless, just now that Daoist is in front of own to attempt to pervert in soul, what did? Heavenly Demon is oversuspicious, inspects the demon palace again, but also not obtained. “还差四个。”计俊虽然高兴,但心中疑虑不消,方才那道人当着自己的面在魂魄中做手脚,到底是干了什么？天魔多疑,再度检查魔宫,但也无所得。 Jiang Yuanchen puts to death Earth Demon True Person, does not worry to break through the formation, but makes the water Qilin ambush, calmly looks at ‚gate’ next three disciple behaviors. 姜元辰诛杀地魔真人,并不着急破阵,而是让水麒麟潜伏起来,静看‘门’下三弟子所为。 Records Chuxin, although cannot detect the Jiang Yuanchen trail, but water Duke Qi of Water Spirit also has a feeling. 纪纯熙虽察觉不得姜元辰踪迹,但水公的水灵之气亦有所感。 „Water Duke Qi of Water Spirit just now was covered by the air/Qi of evil spirits, now is clearer, is that side Exalted Teacher had the chance?” Records Chuxin to talk to oneself: „Such being the case, I must have the real capability.” “水公的水灵之气方才被地煞之气覆盖,如今却清晰许多,想必是师尊那边有了胜机？”纪纯熙自语:“既然如此,我也要出真功夫了。” Three ‚gate’ person copes with three demons time records Chuxin is the main force, person of anti- next three demons collaborate, provides the opportunity of trial to two Junior Brother Junior Sister.

In the past listened to ‚jade’ Yao day senior to mention, was the concise innate Way Fetus method ‚gate’?” “周师弟跟我一般,都是太虚道宗根基正法,不过他的《玄化秘典》似乎是师尊专‘门’推演的造化法‘门’。往年听‘玉’瑶天前辈提及过,是凝练先天道胎的法‘门’？” „Shen Junior Sister «Darknorth Returning to the Scripture after», although has a source with Ten Thousand Qi Return to the Storehouse, but improves after Exalted Teacher do not become one, has As Water sword intent besides the necessary Roaming Free and Unfettered movement.” Seeing only Shen Jinghe is floating, if the immortal, grasps treasured sword deduction ice Poland sword intent, overlapping ice Poland sword intent strangles to death Du Zikai with sword light. “沈师妹《北冥归藏经》虽跟万气归藏同出一源,但经过师尊改良后别成一枝,除了配套逍遥游身法外还有若水剑意。”只见沈静荷飘飘若仙,手持宝剑演绎凌‘波’剑意,层层叠叠凌‘波’剑意随着剑光绞杀杜子恺。 „But Junior Brother Junior Sister inadequate Gold Core, wants to put to death these three people also almost.” Records Chuxin to think, offers a sacrifice to Qian Essence Golden Plate: „Junior Brother, Junior Sister withdraws!” “但师弟师妹不成金丹,想要诛杀这三人还差点。”纪纯熙思罢,祭起乾元金盘:“师弟,师妹退后！” „Heavens Eight Trigrams, the Heaven and Earth say/way spreads out!” This is records Chuxin to teach magical powers that in Eight Trigrams comprehends from Jiang Yuanchen, dim Eight Trigrams design rotation, only then does the trigram to take shape completely, three gold/metal mark bright third contacts. “乾元八卦,天地道衍！”这是纪纯熙从姜元辰传授八卦中参悟的神通,朦胧八卦图案转动,只有乾卦完全成型,三道金痕熠熠生光。 „Well?” Jiang Yuanchen surprise: „This boy unexpectedly and is the say/way of Eight Trigrams predestined friends?” Counts the calculation, sees only the Eight Trigrams image rotation, water and fire wind and thunder eight derives, later floods into the dry trigram entirely. “咦？”姜元辰诧异一声:“这小子居然和八卦之道有缘？”掐指演算,只见八卦图像转动,水火风雷八相衍生,随后统统涌入乾卦。 Does the trigram, the Yuan, Henry , loyalty. 乾卦,元、亨、利、贞。 The trigram moves likely, the Du Zikai three people suddenly feel the greatest heavenly prestige steamroll, first celestial stems Yang Righteous Qi changes to azure clouds to dissolve Earth Qi startled, earth movement envoy face ‚color’: „Quickly, quickly! Quickly again revolution formation diagram!” 卦象一动,杜子恺三人顿觉莫大天威碾压而下,先天乾阳正气化作青云溶解地气,地动使者脸‘色’惊慌:“快,快！快重新运转阵图！” Du Zikai and another person , the revolution great formation resistance do the strength of trigram Azure Yang hastily. Kun ‚Yin’ Earth Qi and does Yang Righteous Qi to attack mutually. 杜子恺和另外一人连忙施法,运转大阵抵抗乾卦青阳之力。坤‘阴’地气和乾阳正气相互冲击。 Rumble- 轰隆隆- Records Chuxin also to seize the opportunity: „Offers a sacrifice to mountain mortal form!” Shen Jinghe and week Yuan makes a move to eject mountain mortal form simultaneously, the three mountains mortal form stands in the sky absorbs Earth Qi, entire great formation has three breaths to stop, but this stop wanted three demons ‚nature’ life. Does the trigram to fall. Simple three gold/metal mark seal in three people of forehead, vanished in a puff of smoke immediately, three soul fly into the Heavenly Demon palace. 纪纯熙也看准机会:“祭山魄！”沈静荷、周元同时出手抛出山魄,三座山魄立在上空吸收地气,整个大阵有三息停顿,而正是这一停顿要了三魔‘性’命。乾卦落下。只有简简单单三道金痕印在三人眉心,顿时灰飞烟灭,三道魂魄飞入天魔宫。 great formation is solved, the three mountains mortal form flies into core formation diagram to vanish suddenly does not see. 大阵告破,三座山魄突然飞入核心阵图消失不见。 Jiang Yuanchen comes, puts out a hand a finger/refers. formation diagram was built up by the Innate Way Qi sacrifice, later closes up to fly into his hand. Refining up by three Yuan three mountains great formation sacrifice again, said: „This thing bestows Yellow Stone Daoist to take declares Chonggong town/subdues palace formation.” 姜元辰现身,伸手一指。阵图被先天道气祭炼,随后合拢飞入他手中。以三元三山大阵重新祭炼,道:“此物就赐给黄石道人作为宣崇宫镇宫阵法。” Kisses the ground seal and a ghost Yuan bottle to fly Shen Jinghe and in Zhou Yuan the hand: „Chong Yuan, you wield to kiss the ground seal ; Tian Yi(One with Heavens), you wield a ghost Yuan bottle.” In addition records in the Chuxin hand the concealed epidemic disease box, Earth Demon True Person lineage/vein three treasures three ‚gate’ person is inherited by Jiang Yuanchen completely. 伏地印、煞元瓶飞到沈静荷和周元手中:“冲元,你执掌伏地印;天一,你执掌煞元瓶。”加上纪纯熙手中藏疫盒,地魔真人一脉三宝被姜元辰三‘门’人完全继承。 Draws on the acute communicable disease demon bead again.

A person does not have. Four Demonic Way True Person bring the Golden Yang Cauldron center as well as Jie and the others made a getaway. 大阵告破,姜元辰看向西蛮营寨,只见营寨空空‘荡’‘荡’。一个人也没。四位魔道真人早已带着金阳鼎中枢以及蛮桀等人逃之夭夭。 „They will run actually!” Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile, did not haggle over. “他们倒是会跑！”姜元辰笑道,也不去计较。 Zhou Yuan sees that to ask: „Why not does Exalted Teacher pursue? After all Golden Yang Cauldron also in their hands.” 周元见状问道:“师尊何不追击？毕竟金阳鼎还在他们手中。” Jiang Yuanchen smiles but said nothing, one side discipline Chuxin said: „Junior Brother, killing tribulation three fight to decide the victory and defeat, killing tribulation is needless, in the cauldron heavenly power broken, their also sacrifice refining up inadequately. Moreover deer ‚gate’ the matter of pass/test settles. Demonic Way True Person falls from the sky. He and others withdrew to flee, I and others occupy the situation. Only must the song of victory Western Expedition, after striking kills four Demonic Way True Person, may in the Heavenly Demon palace execute the demon.” 姜元辰笑而不语,一旁纪纯熙道:“师弟,杀劫三战而定胜负,杀劫不消,鼎上天力不破,他们也祭炼不成。而且鹿‘门’关之事了结。一位魔道真人陨落。他等退避逃离,我等已经占据先机。只需一路凯歌西征,击杀四位魔道真人后就可在天魔宫诛魔。” „Bright said well.” Jiang Yuanchen nods: „Now great tribulation just opens, dies True Person to be enough. poor daoist ‚desire’ does not stay for a long time in this place, you make Zhou Kai command troops the Western Expedition.” Then, Jiang Yuanchen then ‚desire’ leaves, Shen Jinghe holds on Jiang Yuanchen hastily: „Exalted Teacher, the disciple felt that within the body is restless ‚desire’ to move, the opportunity of accomplishing Pill about, but also asked Exalted Teacher to direct.” “熙儿所言不错。”姜元辰颔首:“如今大劫刚刚开启,死一个真人足以。贫道不‘欲’在此地久留,你让周凯率师西征吧。”说完,姜元辰便‘欲’离开,沈静荷连忙拉住姜元辰:“师尊,弟子感觉体内蠢蠢‘欲’动,成丹之机将近,还请师尊指点。” Jiang Yuanchen looks at Shen Jinghe saying: „stone was killed by you.
