Living in the world of cultivation

Li Chao just used his spiritual sense to scan the mutant fire crystal ant, and he found something that surprised him.

There is something like a crystal core in the mutant fire crystal ant, just like the Tao seed in his body, full of energy.

Although he didn't know much, he could guess that the reason why this ordinary fire crystal ant could mutate should be because of this thing.

Li Chao suddenly had a bold idea, and he decided to find an opportunity to try it.

Since the beginning of the battle, he has not made much moves.

It's not that Li Chao is afraid of fighting, but that the sword madman taught him a truth, don't make unnecessary moves easily, learn to find the enemy's weaknesses, seize the opportunity to kill with one blow.

During this period, he hated two people the most, one was his devil father, and the other was the sword madman.

That big devil was his own father, he couldn't curse him, just complained in his heart.

But he was not polite to the sword madman, he would scold him to relieve his hatred, and he scolded him heartily every time.

During the two months in the Ten Thousand Miles Demon Abyss, this guy simply didn't treat him as a human being.

Every few days, he was thrown into the cave of monsters or foreign demons, and the entrance was sealed. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn't get out.

Every time he was covered with wounds, or even when he only had one breath left, this guy would appear.

If it weren't for his good luck, I don't know how many times he would die.

Although the sword madman was a bastard, there was one good thing about him. He would help him review the battle after each battle and teach him practical experience.

He didn't think anything of it before, but today, for some reason, he suddenly remembered many things that the sword madman told him.

At this moment, the mutant fire crystal ant was completely crazy, and the strange crystal core in its body kept shining.

Senior Brother Changting was fighting desperately with several team members, and various third-level talismans were like free, constantly hitting the mutant fire crystal ants.

One of them activated a fourth-level immortal talisman. Although it caused a lot of damage to the mutant fire crystal ant, it was not hurt at all and rushed towards Senior Brother Changting and others like crazy.

Li Chao did not make a move, but stood at the end of the team.

Because his realm was too low, the team members did not expect him to make a move to turn the tide.

In fact, Li Chao was very calm at this time, silently waiting for the opportunity to make a move, striving to kill with one blow.

After experiencing life and death dangers and wandering outside the gates of hell for countless times, Li Chao is no longer the coward who broke the jar and broke the jar.

"Ah..."

At this time, the only female disciple in the team screamed.

The mutant fire crystal ant broke through her spiritual shield, and the protective magic weapon in front of her also lost its spirituality and fell to the ground.

The other members of the team had no time to rescue her, and could only watch the mutant fire crystal ant's hideous mouthparts bite her.

Just when everyone thought she would die under the mouthparts of the mutant fire crystal ant, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them.

The female cultivator felt that someone was holding her in his arms, and she was pulled out of the mutant fire crystal ant's ferocious mouthparts.

Li Chao let go of the female cultivator and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

If it weren't for the "smoke step" taught by the big devil father, he really had no confidence in saving this female cultivator.

In order to urge him to practice this secret technique well, the devil father broke several sticks.

It's really like what the father said, if you can't even practice a life-saving step, how can you fight with others.

The female cultivator didn't say anything, just looked at him gratefully, and then rushed up again, and continued to resist the crazy attack of the mutant fire crystal ant with her teammates.

At this time, the mutant fire crystal ant jumped violently and pounced on Senior Brother Changting.

With a "bang".

Senior Brother Changting's aura shield collapsed instantly, but fortunately he had a lot of life-saving items, and used a secret treasure to block the attack of the mutant fire crystal ant.

At this time, the mutant fire crystal ant failed to attack, and its entire abdomen was completely exposed in front of Li Chao.

Right now...

Li Chao swung it violently, and the "Invisible Breaking Needle" that had been in his hand flew away. An invisible needle-shaped magic weapon instantly pierced one of the mutant fire crystal ant's eyes.

"Hiss..."

The mutant fire crystal ant let out a shrill hiss, shaking its huge head frantically.

Almost at the same time, Li Chao's figure also rushed over. After thousands of times of training, the "Missing Smoke Step" was incredibly fast.

The other members of the team only saw a shadow whizzing past them.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Li Chao rushed towards the hideous mouthparts of the mutant fire crystal ant.

He narrowly avoided the mouthparts of the mutant fire crystal ant, and his body slashed into its lower abdomen, then stabbed the magic sword in his hand fiercely.

The magic sword pierced into the abdomen of the mutant fire crystal ant, and Li Chao loosened the hilt of the sword, and his body rolled violently on the ground. He barely avoided one of the lower limbs of the fire crystal ant, rolled more than ten meters away, and then bounced up.

"Hiss...hiss..."

The mutant fire crystal ant screamed wildly, and its huge body kept twisting. It fell to the ground after struggling for only a while.

Li Chao took a deep breath, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

The sword madman often told him that there is often only one chance, and only if you seize it can you make a fatal blow.

Li Chao's judgment was correct. His sword just now pierced the strange crystal core in the mutant fire crystal ant's body, causing a fatal blow to it.

The move seemed simple, but it was actually very thrilling. Even if there was a slight mistake, he would die on the spot.

And in order to complete this fatal blow, he must take the initiative to stick close to the abdomen of the mutant fire crystal ant and stab this sword.

For the team members present, this action is no different from committing suicide.

But for Li Chao, it's really nothing. His devil father has taught him the most about close combat in the past few months.

In the eyes of the devil father, what kind of magic weapon does a Qi Refining cultivator play? In addition to activating talismans, it's just to stick close and chop him with a magic sword.

And the sword madman also deeply agrees with his father's words.

In the eyes of the sword madman, except for the flying sword of the sword cultivator, other magic weapons of Qi Refining cultivators are useless. It's better to chop with a magic sword.

Especially when dealing with the demons and insects with strong bodies, magic weapons cannot break through their defenses at all, so it is better to find their weaknesses and fight them in close combat.

During the days when Li Chao was in the Ten Thousand Miles Demon Abyss, he deeply experienced this when he faced the foreign evil demons and monsters.

Therefore, the final way to resolve the battle is to fight in close combat and complete a fatal blow.

This ancient physical cultivation fighting method, let alone the disciples of the Immortal Sect, even the demon sect cultivators dare not try it easily.

In the eyes of other cultivators, this fighting method is quite stupid, and almost no one would do it.

Looking at the corpse of the mutant fire crystal ant, Li Chao felt that his father was not so bad, and even the sword madman was not so hateful at this moment.

The huge body of the mutant fire crystal ant fell to the ground with a bang, and the other members of the team all felt like they had survived a disaster.

Two of them had been exhausted for a long time, and now they collapsed to the ground.

Their team is definitely the most powerful in the outer sect, and also has the highest mission completion rate. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a perverted fire crystal ant today.

If it weren't for Li Chao, they would all have died here today.

No one expected that this inconspicuous seventh-level Qi training disciple would be able to turn the tide and complete a fatal blow.

Obviously, this kid's realm is the lowest, but what surprised them is that his mental power is very strong, even stronger than Senior Brother Changting.

What shocked them even more was that this kid's body movement was like a ghost. Not only did he help them save their junior sister, but he also successfully approached the mutant fire crystal ant and completed a fatal blow.

Moreover, he has extremely rich combat experience. Whether it is the grasp of opportunities or the timing of attack, he is a ruthless man who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies.

Li Chao walked to the corpse of the mutant fire crystal ant, retracted the "invisible breaking needle", and pulled out the magic sword.

He used the magic sword to dig open the abdomen of the mutant fire crystal ant, reached in, and took out a black crystal core the size of a longan.

Li Chao didn't look closely, he just put the black crystal core into the ring, and then cleaned his arm with a cleaning talisman.

After cleaning his arm, he was about to leave, but he was suddenly stunned when he turned his head.

Because he found that the bones and shells of this mutant fire crystal ant were covered with dense magic patterns, but these strange and obscure magic patterns were very shallow, and if you don't look closely, you can't find them at all.

Li Chao thought about it, swung the magic sword to cut off one of the lower limbs of the mutant fire crystal ant, and then put it into the ring.

He didn't want to tell his teammates about this, and planned to take the black crystal core and the lower limbs of the fire crystal ant back to show his father.

Li Chao always felt that this mutant fire crystal ant should not be that simple. If it involved someone who couldn't afford to offend, it would be difficult to get away.

After experiencing so many things, Li Chao is no longer the young boy he used to be, and has matured a lot.

None of the teammates around would care about Li Chao's behavior. After all, the mutant fire crystal ant was killed by someone else, so it was reasonable to challenge the trophy first.

At this time, Senior Brother Changting came over and glanced at Li Chao.

"Junior brother, what's your name? It looks unfamiliar..."

Li Chao smiled and said, "I've only been a student for a few days..."

After hearing what Li Chao said, Senior Brother Changting immediately became interested.

"Junior brother, where are you from..."

"Xuanluo Realm, Senior Brother should not have heard of it. It is an unknown small plane..."

Senior Brother Changting nodded suddenly, then smiled.

"Junior brother, you don't have a fixed team yet, you can follow me in the future..."

Li Chao nodded and said calmly, "Please take care of me in the future..."

Because of his past experience, facing Senior Brother Changting's kindness, Li Chao was not flattered, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

And his father once told him that he should never use his hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks.

This world only recognizes strength. Without strength, you are nothing.

Senior Brother Changting did not think there was anything wrong with Li Chao's attitude. Instead, he looked up to him.

His strength has been recognized by Senior Brother Changting. A master must have the temperament of a master. He would not even look at a person without strength, even if he kneeled down to him.

Senior Brother Changting smiled, patted Li Chao on the shoulder, and then turned and left.

Li Chao looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very excited. He could clearly feel an unprecedented respect from Senior Brother Changting's eyes and tone.

After listening to what the two said, the other members of the team also came over and chatted with Li Chao.

Li Chao will be a teammate of the same team in the future, and his strength also makes them admire him very much, so of course these people have made friends in advance.

Faced with so many people showing goodwill to him, Li Chao was so excited that he felt like crying.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement, fearing that tears would flow down at this time.

At this time, the female cultivator he had saved also came over.

Li Chao had never been embarrassed to look at her carefully, but now that she was in front of him, he could see the appearance of the female cultivator clearly.

Although the female cultivator's hair was messy and her face was covered with sand and dust, she still couldn't hide her lotus-like temperament and her extraordinary beauty.

She was only in her early twenties, with fair skin, like a beauty carved from white jade, with a warm luster.

At this time, she faced the violent sandstorm, her black hair fluttered in the wind, her sleeves fluttered, her skirt was clear, and she looked at Li Chao with a smile.

Li Chao had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life, and his face immediately turned red.

The girl pursed her lips gently and smiled: "My name is Xia Qiao, thank you for saving my life..."

After hearing Xia Qiao's words, Li Chao couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and quickly lowered his head to avoid the other's eyes.

"Senior sister, don't worry, it's just a little effort..."

Seeing Li Chao's embarrassment, Xia Qiao laughed "puff" and turned away.

Looking at Xia Qiao's back, Li Chao shook his head and drove away the beautiful shadow that stayed in his mind.

Since experiencing Xiao Yao, Li Chao has no such thoughts.

Although Senior Sister Xia Qiao is very beautiful, he knows in his heart that such a girl can't possibly like him.

He used to be inferior, but now he is clear and self-aware.

Just like what his father often said to him, people should never fantasize about things they can't get.

Senior Brother Changting organized everyone to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses of teammates, and then return to the main base of "Yellow Sand Realm", and then return to Tongyoutian through the plane channel.

After returning to the sect, Li Chao said goodbye to Senior Brother Changting and others and returned to his mother's cave.

This time when he came back from the "Yellow Sand Realm", he had a lot of things to say to his mother, but his mother was not in the cave. He contacted her with the communication array talisman and found out.

It turned out that his father came, and his mother went to his father's cave outside the city.

Li Chao hurriedly drove the magic weapon to his father's cave, and saw that the couple was sitting in the yard eating.

Seeing Li Chao coming, Li Miaoxue hurried over,

"Xiao Chao, go wash your hands quickly, you are back at the right time, we just ate..."

Li Chao simply washed up, and then sat at the table.

Su Fan picked up a wine jar, poured a bowl of spirit wine, and placed it in front of him.

"Don't let Xiao Chao drink. He drank so much last time and got so drunk..."

After hearing what Li Miaoxue said, Su Fan chuckled.

"How old is he? It's okay for him to drink a little..."

Li Chao also smiled when he heard his father's words: "Mom... I want to drink..."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the wine bowl, then put it down and laughed.

Although Li Chao pretended to be something in front of his teammates, he was still young after all. How could he hide things in his heart? He always wanted to show off in front of others.

This time, he killed a mutant third-level fire crystal ant in the Yellow Sand Realm. He couldn't wait to return to the cave residence when he returned to the sect, just to have a good talk with his mother.

Who would have thought that when his father came, he didn't want to talk.

Over the years, Li Chao was alienated and excluded in the Taixu Immortal Sect. He didn't even have a friend to talk to. If there was something in his heart, he would just talk to his mother. He was always silent in front of others.

"I heard from your mother that you teamed up with others to go to the plane battlefield. How do you feel..."

Although his impression of this devil father has improved a lot compared to before, he doesn't want to talk to him about this matter.

"It's okay..."

This stinky boy is indifferent to him.

For such a long time, I haven't heard him call me dad a few times.

Seeing that his son didn't want to talk to him, Su Fan had no choice. This kid hated him.

Who made him treat the child like that? How could he not hate him?

Despite this, Su Fan would not change his original intention.

Even if his son hated him, he didn't want him to lose his life outside one day.

This meal was tasteless. The three people at the table hardly said anything, so they finished it quickly.

"I'm going back to the sect..."

After Li Chao finished speaking, he stood up and turned around and walked out of the cave.

Su Fan was so angry that his face was gloomy. Li Miaoxue next to him saw that he looked bad and quickly grabbed his hand.

"The child is still young. When he grows up, he will understand your painstaking efforts..."

"He is still young. How old are you? I..."

Su Fan just said this when he saw Li Chao coming back.

He came to Su Fan, took out a black crystal core from the ring, and threw the several-meter-long lower limb of the fire crystal ant into the yard.

"This is a mutant fire crystal ant I killed in the Yellow Sand Realm. I found this crystal core in its abdomen, and there are magic patterns on it that I don't recognize. Take a look..."

Su Fan frowned immediately after hearing this. He took the black crystal core and looked at it carefully.

After looking at the crystal core in his hand for a while, he walked to the lower limbs of the fire crystal ant and squatted down, carefully looking at those strange and obscure patterns.

After a while, Su Fan stood up from the ground and sat back down at the table.

"Come here and tell me about your trip to the Yellow Sand Realm..."

Li Chao came over and sat next to Su Fan, recounting his experiences in the Yellow Sand Realm from beginning to end.

After listening to his son's narration, Su Fan frowned and thought for a while.

"Who else knows about this matter..."

Seeing his father's solemn face, Li Chao quickly replied: "Only I know about this crystal core. They took the corpse of the mutant fire crystal ant and dealt with it..."

Su Fan nodded and said: "You did the right thing. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, hide as far away as you can..."

"Well... I know..."

"Don't go to the Yellow Sand Realm again in the future..."

Su Fan said here and continued: "Remember, don't go to any place where there are such mutant insects in the future..."

Su Fan had actually seen this black crystal core in an ancient book before. This thing is not something from the Blue Sky Star Region.

Although the book only briefly describes it, there is a sense of strangeness between the lines.

Su Fan picked up the pitch-black crystal core and squeezed it hard with his hand.

With a "snap".

The pitch-black crystal core was instantly turned into powder.

At this time, something strange happened.

A thick black smoke suddenly rose from the black powder in Su Fan's hand, turning into a strange-shaped magic mist, which rushed towards Su Fan with its fangs and claws.

Facing the hideous and terrifying ghost, Su Fan sneered, and the Tao seed in his body instantly rotated, and a manic thunder and lightning whistled out along his arm.

He stretched out his right hand wrapped in thunder and lightning, and suddenly grabbed the neck of the mysterious black shadow and pinched it hard.

"Bang..."

The pitch-black ghost was instantly crushed by him, turning into a piece of fine powder that drifted away with the wind, scattered everywhere.

Su Fan's face turned gloomy. This thing was really too weird.

It was said that this thing came from an extremely distant ancient star field. Every time it appeared, it would be accompanied by disaster and chaos.

Fortunately, the crystal core in his hand was still small. If it was too big, he would not dare to destroy it easily. He could only hand it over to the sect for processing.

His intuition told him that this weird thing would definitely appear again.

Li Miaoxue and her son were already dumbfounded. They did not expect that this crystal core would be so evil. The aura was simply too scary.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend it never happened..."

The scene just now was really weird. Li Miaoxue and her son knew the severity of the situation and nodded in agreement.
