Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 604
Chapter 604 A Twenty-Breath Gamble
Everyone who had a slight understanding of the military knew very well that soldiers were precious but not much. Tuoba Wu’s most famous army was the Prison Fire Army, and the number of soldiers in this army would always be limited to 10,000, never expanding.
The reason was very simple, because even if Tuoba Wu was the First Prince, he could only afford 10,000 soldiers like this.
At this moment, in the Flying Mountain Range, the Prison Fire Army was divided into a thousand ten-man squads, each divided by region, carefully searching for Jiang Feng’s location.
Logically speaking, Jiang Feng had the mark of Nirvana Extinction on him, so it should be easy to find him. However, Tuoba Wu did not expect that the Prison Fire Army would not be able to find any trace of Jiang Feng after searching all afternoon.
“Impossible. Jiang Feng has the mark of Nirvana Extinction. Even if he uses some restriction array to conceal the fluctuations of the mark, he shouldn’t be completely unable to sense it.”
Within the forest, the Prison Fire Army was setting up camp. Tuoba Wu frowned when he heard the subordinate’s report. He couldn’t figure out where Jiang Feng could hide.
Where exactly is Jiang Feng?
There was a naturally formed cave at the end of a patch of weeds in the Flying Mountain Range. Jiang Feng, Wen Que Dong, and Zhong Bin were in this cave.
If Tuoba Wu saw Jiang Feng at this moment, he would definitely understand why he couldn’t feel the mark of Nirvana Extinction on Jiang Feng’s body. Jiang Feng locked himself in the ice crystal coffin, and then asked Zhong Bin to put the ice crystal coffin into the Hundred Treasures Pouch.
After such an operation, the mark of Nirvana Extinction entered Zhong Bin’s Hundred Treasures Pouch. Naturally, no one outside could sense its existence.
However, Jiang Feng did not completely fall into a deep slumber. He used the Soul Shifting Secret Technique to transfer his soul into Yan Jun’s body. Jiang Feng had used this [Soul Shifting Secret Technique] when he first descended Zhongnan Mountain to Hangzhou City. Now that he was already an Out of Aperture cultivator, he was naturally familiar with using this kind of secret technique.
Inside the cave, Yan Jun’s Jiang Feng and Zhong Bin sat around a fire. Zhong Bin took the pill that Jiang Feng had given him and was currently meditating to recover his spiritual energy as quickly as possible.
Jiang Feng and Wen Que Dong took out the Hundred Treasures Sacks they had obtained over the past few days and piled them up into a small hill. Then, the two of them inspected the items inside one Hundred Treasures Sack and one Hundred Treasures Sack. First, they wanted to see if there were any rare treasures. Second, it was convenient for them to classify and classify the treasures.
Ordinary cultivators’ treasures could be divided into eight major categories: Immortal Spirit Stones, Immortal Technique Secret Scriptures, Immortal Artifacts, Pills, Heavenly and Earth Treasures, Artifact Refining Materials, Immortal Beast Eggs or Beast Rings, as well as refined puppets or corpses.
During this period of time, there were no fewer than 800 people that Jiang Feng had killed. It was not a small amount of work to classify the treasures of so many people, but Jiang Feng and Wen Que Dong were very interested in doing so.
Actually, this was also very understandable. After all, doing this kind of thing was the same as counting money, especially counting one’s own money. No matter how tired he was, the sense of accomplishment and the sense of attainment could completely offset his fatigue.
“Big Brother Jiang, if you had thought of this method earlier, we wouldn’t have killed so many people. You can safely find a cave to hide in for seven days and then leave in seven days. When that time comes, you won’t have to worry about half of Han Chu’s cultivation. There’s no risk at all.”
‘”Do you think the mark of Nirvana Extinction can be removed so easily? Master has frozen his body and soul. The mark of Nirvana Extinction will not work during this period of time. In other words, the mark of Nirvana Extinction will not decrease at all during this period of time.”
Zhong Bin spat out a mouthful of turbid air and opened his eyes, directly pouring a basin of cold water on Wen Que Dong.
Hearing this, Wen Que Dong was immediately discouraged and couldn’t help but sigh, “This annihilation of Nirvana is too powerful.”
“The secret of Buddhism is not passed down. Naturally, it is not idle.”
As Zhong Bin spoke, he casually picked up a Hundred Treasures Sack and looked at it. Suddenly, Zhong Bin said, “Huh?” “This is …”
Zhong Bin took out a golden bowl from his Hundred Treasures Pouch. The golden bowl was filled with water. The water looked a little disgusting. It was yellow, orange, and like expired orange juice, it was cloudy and unclear. Of course, in Jiang Feng’s eyes, this water was more like corpse water.
“What is it?” Jiang Feng subconsciously covered his nose and asked. In fact, the water did not emit any smell.
“Yellow Spring Water.” Zhong Bin’s right hand condensed into a sword finger and a ray of Spiritual Energy entered the golden bowl.
The golden bowl immediately grew larger and taller, quickly becoming the size of a pond. Zhong Bin took out an Immortal Artifact from the Hundred Treasures Sack in his hand and threw it into the pond. Very quickly, the Immortal Artifact melted and disappeared.
Jiang Feng immediately raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene. He smiled and rubbed his hands together. “This water is actually so powerful. If we encounter those cultivators who want to harm me in the future, wouldn’t it make them feel good if we directly pour a basin of it on them?”
Zhong Bin looked at Jiang Feng and said somewhat speechlessly, “Master, you don’t know something. A hundred thousand years old corpse rearing pond would only produce a drop of yellow spring water. Now that there is so much yellow spring water, it is very difficult to find even in the Divine Dynasty. This yellow spring water has many wonderful uses. Even if you use it to defend against enemies, you shouldn’t directly pour a basin of it.”
“Uh … I’m just joking, I’m just joking.” Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly after hearing Zhong Bin’s words. Then, he quickly changed the topic, “Hey, right. Didn’t we need a 10,000-year-old Corpse Restoration Pond to refine the Sword Saint Corpse Ba? Then can this Yellow Spring Water replace the 10,000-year-old Corpse Restoration Pond now?”
“It’s not just possible. It’s completely effective. However, we still lack enough immortal spirit jade pith. If we can find enough immortal spirit jade pith …”
“There is immortal spirit jade essence. I saw a lot in the Hundred Treasures Pouch just now.” Wen Que Dong took out a few hundred treasure bags and directly took out a few immortal spirit jade marrows the size of tombstones.
Intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations filled the entire cave. Zhong Bin quickly set up restrictions to seal the Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
After the restriction was set up, Zhong Bin looked at the Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow and said, “We have the Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow, as well as the sword essence of an orthodox sword cultivator, the body of a martial cultivator, and the yellow spring water. This means that we have gathered everything we need to refine the Sword Saint Corpse Ba.”
“But Master, if we start refining the Sword Saint Corpse Ba now, you might have to hand over this Martial Cultivator’s body.”
“Anyway, everything is complete. We can refine it later. Big Brother Jiang Feng’s body is very weak now. If his soul returns to his body and the Nirvana Extermination Mark attracts cultivators, we won’t be able to defend against it.” Wen Que Dong suggested.
Zhong Bin shook his head and stared fixedly at the Yellow Springs Waterway. “Master forcefully absorbing other people’s Spiritual Energy and Demonic Energy to defend against the enemy will definitely do a lot of damage to our own cultivation. If we want to successfully leave the Flying Mountain Range, perhaps this Sword Saint Corpse is our only chance.”
Originally, Nangong Bai’s sword essence was used to refine the Sword Saint Corpse Ba, and its power was at most comparable to that of a late Mahayana sword cultivator.
But now we have yellow spring water and a late stage Nascent Soul. As long as we use that late stage Tribulation Crossing Nascent Soul as the array spirit, we can set up a Spirit Gathering Formation within the body of the Sword Saint Corpse Ba, plus the blessing of the Yellow Spring Water.
“This Sword Saint Corpse Ba is completely capable of becoming a sword cultivator whose strength is no weaker than that of a late stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator. Furthermore, he will never tire, and the spiritual energy in his body will never be exhausted.”
Silence.
The cave suddenly went completely silent.
The three people in the cave knew exactly what it meant to be an untiring late stage Tribulation Crossing Sword Cultivator.
Sword xiu’s aggressiveness was already strong, and a late stage tribulation crossing sword xiu was completely invincible below the Loose Immortal Realm. Moreover, this late stage Tribulation Crossing Sword Cultivator was never tired, and his Spiritual Energy would never be exhausted.
With such a Sword Saint Corpse Ba, as long as no Loose Immortal attacked, the three of them would definitely be able to successfully leave the Flying Mountain Range.
But the problem now is that it’s a big bet.
To refine such a Sword Saint Corpse Ba, Jiang Feng’s soul had to return to its original body. In his current state of body, as soon as his soul returned to his original body, he had to immediately exit the ice crystal coffin.
At that time, the fluctuations of the Nirvana Extermination Seal would increase, and the cultivators looking for them all over the mountains would definitely immediately surround them. If Jiang Feng and the others hadn’t been able to refine the Sword Saint Corpse by the time the cultivators surrounded them, then Jiang Feng and the others could only wait for death.
Gambling or not, this is a problem, this is a very serious problem.
Jiang Feng thought for a while and asked Zhong Bin, “How long will it take to refine?”
“Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow can be processed in advance. When you set up the Spirit Gathering Formation, Master, your soul does not need to leave your body. The only thing that will take time is to soak in the Yellow Springs water.
“The Yellow Spring Water is very effective. The Sword Saint Corpse Ba can successfully soak in it for twenty breaths of time.”
“Twenty breaths.” Jiang Feng licked his lips. Suddenly, he remembered that he was licking Yan Jun’s lips. He immediately felt a little disgusted in his heart.
Finally, Jiang Feng patted his thigh and gritted his teeth. “Gamble! Whether you’re dead or alive depends on this time. If I’m trapped in this forest again, I’ll go crazy!”
As soon as Jiang Feng said those words, Zhong Bin immediately began to deal with the Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow.
Although Zhong Bin’s words seemed quite simple, in fact, every step of refining the Sword Saint Corpse Ba was not simple.
The first was the Immortal Spirit Jade Chalcedony. Zhong Bin and the others needed to cut the Immortal Spirit Jade Chalcedony into pieces, completely covering the body of the Sword Saint Corpse Ba. Only in this way would the Sword Saint Corpse Ba not be melted away by the Yellow Spring Water when it was soaked in the Yellow Spring Water.
Of course, this was the only way for the Sword Saint Corpse Ba to have an endless supply of Spiritual Energy, as well as a fleshly body that could not be invaded by fire or water.
After cutting the Immortal Spirit Jade Chalcedony, Jiang Feng had to draw a formation on it to increase the power of the Immortal Spirit Jade Chalcedony. After doing all of this, Jiang Feng and Zhong Bin began to set up Spirit Gathering Arrays for Yan Jun’s body.
This step was the most painful for Jiang Feng, because his soul was inside Yan Jun’s body. When he set up the Spirit Gathering Array, he could feel the pain of his body being embedded by the fragments of immortal spirit stones.
After all the preparatory work was done, Zhong Bin looked at Jiang Feng and said, “Master, it’s time to begin.”
Jiang Feng nodded and Zhong Bin took out the ice crystal coffin.
Jiang Feng’s soul returned to his original body. He didn’t know if the mark of Nirvana Extinction had broken through and felt that Jiang Feng had come to life. He immediately began to emit a resplendent light.
Within the Flying Mountain Range, the Prison Fire Army that was resting on the spot suddenly stood up.
Tuoba Wu looked in the direction of Jiang Feng’s cave and shouted coldly, “Over there! All troops attack!”
