Becoming a solitary immortal Chapter 215: Cave

Even though Lu Xia Tian had just managed to render two stone figures combat ineffective, the number of stone figures now increased to ten instead of decreasing. 。The situation has become even worse. 。Even Lu Xia Tian's composure couldn't prevent his mood from souring a bit at this time. 。

For just a moment's hesitation, the circle of ten stone soldiers shrank once more.

。Thump... thump... The stone soldier's thick feet pounded the ground, creating a violent tremor. The deaths of their comrades filled them, as members of the same kind, with rage. 。It's several minutes faster than before. 。Lu Xia Tian held his sword in both hands, just having cleaved a deep gash into the chest of a stone sculpture opposite him. A gust of wind had already struck his lower back. 。He rolled toward the ground, a stone soldier's massive foot slamming down on his body. 。Lu Xiaitian let out a cold snort. From his sparring with the stone golem just now, he had figured out a rather feasible approach. The strength of a single stone golem wasn't low, especially its body, which was as hard as a magic artifact. It wouldn't be realistic to kill it in one strike. 。However, comparatively speaking, injuring one of these terracotta warriors' legs would be much easier. 。As the several stone soldiers' large feet stomped down, Lu Xia Tian continuously swung his flaming fire sword in his hand. With a few swipes, the sword glow flickered as the flaming fire sword phantom-like darted across the several stone soldiers' feet. 。Due to Shi Mo's powerful defense and the time constraint, Lu Xia Tian didn't have enough time to completely sever the stone figurine's legs. He only managed to cut them in half before quickly bouncing off the ground and escaping the battle circle. 。The stone figurine, recently wounded by Lu Xiaoteng's sword, wanted to pursue, but with one leg injured, it struggled. Though these stone figurines were not flesh and blood, incapable of feeling pain, the injury hampered their pursuit. With an uneven distribution of force between two legs, once their speed increased, their bodies began to sway precariously. 。Lu XiaTian let out a breath, it seemed that this method had worked on those three stone statues just now. If he were to kill them all, he would have to go all out, but he couldn't sustain that for long. In this situation, he couldn't use up all his strength at once. 。The threat from the three terracotta warriors has been temporarily removed again. 。There were still only seven left, but the surrounding circle had become sparser. Lu Xia Tian quickly moved to the other side. 。Maybe in no time, he'll be able to break free. 。But further away, more than ten stone soldiers successively appeared, emerging from the yellow sand. 。of varying sizes, with a dazzling pale gold sheen 。Lu Xia Tian was speechless for a moment. Could he have stumbled into the nest of the stone soldiers? Had that red-gold stone soldier only taken away part of it?

With such doubts, five more stone soldiers approached one after another 。Lu Xia Tian prepared to use his old trick again, wanting to injure the stone soldier's feet or legs. 。

Phew! Although the giant stone figurine couldn't bend and twist like a human, its shallow golden inner shell directly leaped from the ground, its heavy body pressing down on Lu Xiaottian.

。“Damn it!” Lu Xia Tian’s face changed, he didn't expect these stone soldiers to be so intelligent. He had just been tricked once before, but now they had already found a way to counter him. 。Facing five stones that pounced on him one after another, once he pinned down one, his speed would inevitably be greatly reduced. 。He was surrounded by five stone golems, who rained punches and kicks upon him. As more stone golems quickly arrived to reinforce them, he would soon meet the same fate as those previous cultivators, becoming a pile of mangled flesh. 。Lu Xia Tian naturally couldn't miss this opportunity. He quickly rolled on the ground, dodging the pounce of five stone soldiers. However, he still got kicked in the abdomen by a stone soldier. Even though his body could withstand attacks from magic weapons, his abdomen was relatively vulnerable. After being kicked by the stone soldier, his stomach churned violently. If he hadn't been replacing meals with pills all along, the contents of his stomach would have likely been spewing out at this moment. 。Lu Xia Tian ignored the pain, rolled up from the ground, and quickly distanced himself from the stone figures. At the same time, he stepped on the Chi Yan Li Huo sword and rose into the air. 。Ten large and small stones came crashing from all directions. Lu Xia Tian, while controlling the flying sword with his deputy primordial spirit, stepped on the sword and punched and kicked, shattering the stones one after another. 。

The yellow sand in the air swirled violently. Lu Xiaotian rode his sword, still swaying from the tremendous hurricane. Through the scattered yellow sand, Lu Xiaotian saw six or seven stone carvings converging from several directions.

。The speed is fast and swift. 。A huge sense of crisis enveloped Lu Xia Tian's heart. Even if he used the Fire Jiao bow and arrows, he wouldn't be able to kill so many stone carvings at the same time. 。Although Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly, their combat effectiveness in the air is actually somewhat reduced. 。These stone carvings are no worse than the stone soldiers in terms of skill, not to mention that the sky is their domain. 。But the ground began to rustle, and Lu XiaTian, looking down from his high vantage point, saw that further away, dozens more stone statues were emerging, and even more stone carvings... 。Could this be the end? Lu Xia Tian felt a chill run down his spine. 。Over all the time he'd spent in the cultivation world, there weren't many times when he was truly at a loss. Even on Diyan Mountain, facing that Zhou surnamed Jindan cultivator, there was still Dongfang Yi as a variable, unexpectedly blocking Zhou for him. 。But in this situation, there's absolutely no chance of help. 。It was simply that those cultivators from Wénfǔ were able to survive the onslaught of over fifty identical bronze-gold stone figures and twenty or so stone carvings. They didn't even get close to the sandstorm region. 。Only now does he truly understand the feeling of having to clap with one hand. 。However, with Lu Xia Tian's personality, even facing the most dangerous situation, he would never admit defeat until the very end. Just now when he looked at the ground, he noticed a cave that appeared before the red gold stone figurine. 。Although he didn't know what was inside the cave, he had no other choice at this point. 。Even if the cave were full of stone statues, things wouldn't get any worse than they are now. The only difference would be dying inside the cave or outside it. 。Of course, if there was nothing else in the cave, with the help of the terrain, at least the stone carvings couldn't attack him for now. And these groups of dozens of stone soldiers could not surround him. Of course, his retreat was cut off, he had to endure the relentless attacks of the stone soldiers until one side fell completely. 。If the golden stone figurine bringing up the rear returns, and we don't even get to see this moment, then it will have consumed us all. 。But no matter what, Lu Xia Tian is definitely not a passive person. 。Without any hesitation, Lu Xia Tian directly flew towards the cave with his sword. 。A strong wind whipped at my face, and two massive fists came flying towards me.There were stone soldiers in the cave, and they were even more powerful than ordinary bronze ones, but fortunately, there weren't many of them, only two... 。<<>>。

A formidable enemy blocked his path, and dozens more stone soldiers came after him relentlessly. The sky was covered by stone carvings, leaving him with no room to survive. No matter what, he couldn't fall into a siege situation.

。Lu XiaTian's face was calm, showing no panic of being in a desperate situation. Years of adventuring had taught him that in such situations, the more panicked one becomes, the faster they die. 。Lu Xiaotian stuffed a Huitian Pill into his mouth. Whoosh, the Chihuo Lifire Sword trembled slightly, its sword light flared brilliantly, and in an instant, he poured all of his mana into the Chiyan Lifire Sword. 。The razor-sharp and intense sword energy sliced through the stone statue's neck. 。As the blade struck its target, the Blazing Flame Sword momentarily hesitated. Its defense was clearly far superior to that of the pale golden stone golem. Judging by the color patterns on their bodies, these two stone golems were only slightly less powerful than the red gold one. 。But despite Lu Xia Tian's effort, he still managed to successfully chop off the heads of the two stone statues blocking his way. 。

With a thud, two headless stone statues fell to the ground.

。Lu Xia Tian didn't even look back, continuing to stride forward. The group of stone statues behind him were already closing in within a few dozen feet. If he waited even half a moment longer, he would be surrounded by them. 。The terrain before them was still somewhat open, not an ideal place for battle. Although he had just slain two stone soldiers with a single sword strike, appearing formidable and unstoppable, the truth was that this one strike had depleted all his mana. If he were not an extremely skilled practitioner of physical recuperation, even with a Heaven-Returning Pill, his body would have experienced temporary weakness, and he would have been killed by the stone soldiers in the blink of an eye. 。This grotto is quite deep. The deeper you go, the more you can feel a pure golden spiritual energy. Running inside, Lu Xia Tian felt surprised and amazed. 。Fortunately, there were no other stone soldiers blocking the way inside. It seemed that the two formidable ones had just been dealt with by his sword energy. The ones he had just killed must have been acting as guardians. 。In addition, Lu Xia Tian also looked forward to this cave being as complex as the ones in the previous Earth Flame Mountain or the Blood Forbidden Land cave. 。The more complex the terrain, the more opportunities he had to maneuver around those stone soldiers. 。It's just a fact that it isn't so, this cave is just an ordinary cave, with a single passage all the way through. 。Apart from a circular space of about a hundred zhang at the bottom, the rest was made up of incredibly hard rock. These rocks had absorbed enough golden spiritual energy to become unbelievably solid. Even with a punch, he could only create a tiny dent. If it were an ordinary stone, he estimated that he could have blown an ordinary mountain stone to pieces with a single punch. 。It was just a cave with abundant spiritual energy. There were two shallow gold, prismatic crystals inside, identical to the ones he had obtained from the stone soldiers after defeating them. 。What was a bit of a surprise was that the bronze statue actually put the Danyan Fire Jiao arrow back in the cave. Finding it again was a small surprise. 。With no other way out, Lu Xia Tian could only draw his sword and turn around. The current situation was that he had to fight the stone statues to the death. However, at least dozens of stone statues were rushing over continuously, and it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be more coming from behind. 。If the crimson gold terracotta warriors were to charge back, breaking through a hundred would not be difficult. 。With his capabilities, it would be far from enough to cope with the wheel war of dozens of stone soldiers. 。More healing pills are needed, as well as some Rejuvenation Pills to hold out. Otherwise, we'll be worn down and killed by these stone soldiers. 。These pills on his body are not expendable and more need to be refined, especially the Huitian Dan. 。Lu Xia Tian quickly calculated the current situation in his heart. He swiftly threw out the centipede puppet. The centipede puppet opened its big mouth, bit onto the alchemy furnace, and retreated to a safe enough place. 。Use the avatar to control the centipede puppet and begin refining the elixir in the furnace. 。At this moment, Lu Xia Tian was already wielding the Fiery Departure Rocket, battling the two stone puppets that had rushed to the front. 。

　Ding ding.... luckily the Chi Yan Li Huo Jian is a Dan Yuan magic weapon, its power is unrivaled

。This allows Lu Xia Tian to save a great deal of energy. 。。A gust of wind whipped past, and the stone statue's massive fist came swinging towards Lu. He ducked low, his sword slicing through its legs. Taking advantage of the gap before the back statue could connect, he slashed off its head. 。Before Lu Xiaoteng could catch his breath, the stone statues behind him rushed up. 。This won't do. Although the last two strikes seemed powerful, the expenditure of both magical energy and physical strength was too great. I fear that before all these stone statues are destroyed, he himself will be unable to hold on any longer. 。The delay in time, at least the consumption of medicinal pills and the speed at which they are refined should be balanced. Otherwise, even if death doesn't come any later. 。The full use of its power to unleash the blazing flames of the Chi Yan Sword, striking down the stone warriors with speed. Though fast, it consumes magic at a rate far exceeding what can be replenished. 。Make sure to always strike the vital points of the stone golem when unleashing your magic. 。It seems like someone has gone through a tough time. 。Lu XiaTian let out a wry smile, temporarily sheathed his sword, and delivered a knee strike to the stone figurine's chest. A slight pain shot up his knee, but it quickly subsided. Compared to mana, physical exertion consumed less energy. 。And the flesh of the seven-tiered fire Jiao would be enough for him to consume for a very long time. 。The two stone soldiers at the front were furious and charged towards Lu Xiaoteng once more. Behind them, over forty others had already appeared, but only the two at the front could actually engage with Lu Xiaoteng. 。Bang! Lu Xia Tian's chest was punched, like a heavy hammer hitting a large drum. Lu Xia Tian's body shook and he retreated several meters. Seeing the stone statues about to swarm forward, despite the pain, he rushed back again, punching and kicking, forcing the stone statues back. However, during this period, Lu Xia Tian was hit by two more punches. 。<>。However, returns and risks are directly proportional. Faced with a direct confrontation with the terracotta warriors, there is no room for fancy maneuvers. Even the slightest hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. 。At times, the stone soldiers' fists and feet came dangerously close to his head, bringing the chilling sensation of death. Yet, through sheer luck, Lu Xia Tian managed to dodge each blow at the last possible moment. 。Every time Lu Xia Tian was punched or kicked, and had to retreat, or when his body was about to reach its limit, he would take out the Chi Yan Li Huo Sword, unleashing the power of the Dan Yuan artifact to block the stone soldiers, giving his body a short respite to recover. 。After striking the back of the stone statue, Lu Xia Tian began to realize that completely killing it was not the right approach. 。Because the terracotta warriors behind him would keep coming, never-ending and impossible to kill. By striking their hands and feet, weakening their attacks gradually, he could reduce the pressure and last much longer. 。Meanwhile, behind Lu Xia Tian, the centipede puppet, under the control of his deputy primordial spirit, continuously threw herbs into the alchemy furnace. In fact, controlling the puppet to refine pills with his deputy primordial spirit was not much different from refining pills himself. 。Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are: Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
