Chapter 227: Breakthrough (1)
Lu Yi was marveling at the cruelty of the Second Insect Sword Master when the air around Xie Fugui suddenly moved and more than a dozen lifeless cats and mice jumped out at the same time.
The golden magic puppets beside Xie Fugui were being struck by the invisible sword energy and were shaking. There was black death energy lingering on their bodies, and their claws were flashing blue and green phosphorescence. When they bared their teeth, there was a layer of dark blue on their teeth. It was obvious that the cats and mice that were poisoned had suddenly invaded the defense circle of the golden magic puppets and rushed to Xie Fugui.
Xie Fugui screamed "old immortal" in surprise, and her robe, which was torn and full of holes due to the flames, suddenly bulged. Thumb-sized hexagonal black scales engraved with countless runes, which came from unknown creatures, burst out from the countless holes and turned into a round armor shield that covered her.
The cats and mice all waved their claws and opened their mouths, revealing their sharp blue teeth.
The claws scratched and the teeth gnawed, sending large sparks flying on the black scales, accompanied by a harsh friction sound.
No one knew how these cats and mice were trained, but the sharpness of their claws and teeth was incredible, and the force of each attack was extremely terrifying. The black scales protecting Xie Fugui's body were torn one after another, leaving deep marks, the runes inside kept shattering, and the black scales kept exploding with crisp "pop" sounds.
Lu Yi looked at the Corpse Demon Lord.
This old guy... Lu Yi's attention had previously been focused on those lifeless strong men and girls. He originally thought that this was the method that the Corpse Demon Venerable usually used to fight his enemies.
Unexpectedly, these strong men and girls generally played the role of a "guard of honor", and their effectiveness was similar to that of the powerful generals such as Yu Dianhu and others around Lu Yi.
The weapons that Corpse Demon Lord used to attack the enemy were actually these small but vicious cats and mice!
Lu Yu's mind was full of ideas. If cats and mice could be refined into zombie puppets with such great lethality, then what about other small things? For example, flies, mosquitoes, fleas, bedbugs, etc.?
Lu Yi felt inexplicably cold all over.
These old guys really can't be careless. If they are not careful, they might get hit by the sword of the Second Insect Sword Master, or be bitten by the strange and poisonous pets of the Corpse Demon Venerable. It is not a pleasant thing to think about.
Shenzui held the staff and nodded his head with a smile: "My two Taoist friends, it seems that you have made great progress in cultivating your mind and character in recent years... Tsk tsk, such a yellow-haired girl, you two joined forces and couldn't capture her in one go... Tsk, could it be that the Second Sword Master Chong has sympathized with women again?"
The two girls beside the Corpse Demon Venerable laughed at the same time.
Then, the two girls cursed at the same time: "You old baldy, what did you say? You said I can't handle this yellow-haired girl? Morality? Morality? Bah, I have never cultivated morality in my life!"
A corpse cat that was madly attacking Xie Fugui suddenly opened its mouth and a black gas spewed out. A giant python as thick as a water tank, more than ten feet long, lifeless all over, with every scale spewing phosphorescent fire, rushed out from the black gas out of thin air.
The giant python roared, and swung its tail fiercely with its huge body, hitting the violently vibrating black scale armor shield hard.
With a loud bang, countless black scales were shattered into pieces. The giant python opened its mouth wide and bit the blue-faced Xie Fugui.
Xie Fugui screamed, and a flash of fire appeared beside her. A unicorn made entirely of metal and covered in flames suddenly jumped out and slammed into the giant python's mouth.
The giant python tightly closed its mouth, and its sharp fangs rubbed against the Qilin's body, making a harsh friction sound.
There were continuous cracking sounds, and a small section of the giant python's teeth was broken, but its fangs also sank deeply into the body of the metal unicorn. Large patches of fire and thick smoke gushed out of the body of the metal unicorn.
The flames were blazing, the metal unicorn opened its mouth, and a dazzling fire thunder blasted out with a loud noise, and blasted into the giant python's stomach along its esophagus. Seeing the giant python's stomach suddenly swelled into a ball, the fire thunder exploded, and the giant python's scales were shaken by the huge force, and countless scales flew out one after another, hitting the nearby cats and mice, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
In front of Xie Fugui, there was another round shield with rippling water waves.
The round shield was made up of countless dark blue metal pieces shaped like ice crystals. These metal pieces were spinning rapidly, rubbing against each other and making a 'crackling' sound. As these metal pieces rubbed against each other, large amounts of cold air mixed with ice crystals sprayed out, forming an ice wall with a radius of dozens of feet, protecting Xie Fugui behind it.
The metal unicorn opened its mouth and spewed out seven or eight fire thunders in succession, all of which exploded inside the giant python's body.
The python's body was extremely flexible, and even though the fire thunder had blown its body up like a ball, it still withstood the fire thunder's fierce attack. The python swung its head wildly, tearing and ripping with its fangs, and bit the metal unicorn into a ball of scrap metal.
A young girl beside the Corpse Demon Venerable exclaimed, "I have spent over two thousand years carefully tempering this black dragon. I have even put in all the good stuff left by my ancestors. How can it be equivalent to a great cultivator with a blooming golden lotus? This Qilin's body is so solid, I'm afraid it must be made of the rare gold of heaven and earth?"
Shenzui's eyes lit up.
The rare gold of heaven and earth… In today’s world, it is just a noun in the Supreme Saint Heaven.
The spiritual power of heaven and earth collapsed, and the secret treasures and rare treasures left by various sects were almost all shattered. The conditions for nurturing the rare gold of heaven and earth were no longer available between heaven and earth. It was difficult for each household to get some good materials and refine some good things for their disciples.
This metallic Qilin is so huge, if it is made of the rare gold of heaven and earth...
Shenzui suddenly took a step forward and rushed out: "Good, this creature is so ferocious, I will take it back to the mountain gate and use Buddhism to pray for its soul day and night... Damn it!"
Shenzui suddenly started cursing!
The Second Sword Master Chong, who had just been teased by Shenzui for having a 'feeling of pity for women', remained calm in the face of Shenzui's teasing and continued to attack Xie Fugui with his invisible sword energy.
But as soon as the Corpse Demon Venerable uttered the words "Rare Gold of Heaven and Earth", Shenzui shamelessly rushed forward, wanting to make a good relationship with the metal Qilin... Twelve strange lights burst out from the sleeves of the Second Sword Master Chong, and turned into a sword rainbow that was a hundred feet long and whistled away, heading straight for Xie Fugui to chop him off on the head.
Shenzui rushed forward, and the sword rainbow of the Chong Er Sword Master also rushed forward.
It was a life-or-death situation. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the trajectory of the twelve sword rainbows just completely coincided with the trajectory of Shenzui rushing forward. The twelve sword rainbows were almost aimed straight at the back of Shenzui.
Shenzui cursed loudly and hit out with his staff.
With a Buddhist chant, a statue of an arhat sitting on a tiger and holding a dragon on the staff suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, and a ball of golden flame wrapped around the head of the staff. Shenzui struck back with his backhand, shaking the void for several miles. The void was distorted and everything became hazy.
The twelve sword rainbows and the tin staff collided fiercely, and there was a loud bang. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers on the ground covered their ears. Many people's eardrums burst and blood spurted out of their ear canals.
Twelve sword rainbows vibrated and flew in all directions.
Shenzui held the staff in his hand, standing still, and chuckled at the Second Sword Master Chong: "You are so good, Sword Master Fengyue. Hehe, do you want me to go to the Red Lotus Temple and tell my junior sister what you did today?"
The second sword master Chong put his hands in his sleeves, and twelve sword rainbows refracted back like lightning, suspended above his head and spinning rapidly, turning into a huge circle of sword light that enveloped his entire body.
He looked at Shenzui and said in surprise: "The old bald donkey's cultivation has become even more powerful... Back then, you couldn't break my sword light so easily... Honglian Temple, hehe, all the things that happened before were illusions... Ever since she resolutely returned to Honglian Temple, this old man and she..."
Shenzui narrowed his eyes: "If I say that she has your baby, that baby is now practicing asceticism in my Great Vajra Temple..."
The Corpse Demon Venerable turned his head suddenly and looked at the Second Insect Sword Master in horror.
The second sword master Chong suddenly looked up and looked at Shenzui as if he had seen a ghost.
Lu Yi, Lu Yu and others all widened their eyes at the same time, looking at the three old guys in disbelief.
Tsk tsk, the 'Chong Er' sword master, the 'Feng Yue' sword master... Chong Er is Feng Yue Wubian, the current leader of the Heart Sword Sect, who even didn't let go of the nuns of the Red Lotus Temple?
This, this...
Lu Yu had a breakthrough understanding of the style, demeanor, etiquette, and upbringing of the major sects in Jishengtian!
Simply...what kind of people are these?
Shenzui bared his teeth and sneered at Chong Er Sword Master: "I will beat your son up for that sword you just used. Get it back! Hehehe!"
The Corpse Demon Lord suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke and rushed straight towards the metal city.
The speed of the Chong Er Sword Master was faster than that of the Corpse Demon Venerable. His body shook and turned into an invisible sword light that left no trace and also rushed towards the metal city.
And Shenzui...he is faster than the other two.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Second Sword Master Chong and the Corpse Demon Venerable were 'surprised', his feet glowed with a faint golden light, and with a shake of his body, he came directly to the side of Xie Fugui, and with a casual move of his stick, he smashed Xie Fugui's water wave round shield into pieces.
Xie Fugui spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Shenzui in horror and said in a hoarse voice, "The ancestors... made a mistake... What did they say? The spiritual power of the Supreme Saint was shattered. Your highest cultivation level is only the Fiery Realm..."
Shenzui grabbed Xie Fugui's shoulder and said with a smile: "There must be some people and things that are kept at the bottom of the box... Back then, your Yuanlingtian was almost destroyed by my Jishengtian and your Miao descendants' inheritance. Is it so easy for my Jishengtian to collapse and kill the whole family?"
"Little girl, you and our sect are destined to be together!"
"I see that your head shape is round and cute. If you shave your long hair, it will be a perfect bald head."
Xie Fugui screamed, and her robe suddenly exploded. Shenzui grabbed her shoulders and there was a muffled "bang". Thick smoke rose up. When Shenzui waved the smoke away with his sleeves, only a three-foot-tall wooden statue was left, which was crushed to pieces by Shenzui. Xie Fugui ran away and no one knew where she had gone.
“A substitute puppet… How wonderful.” Shenzui exclaimed: “A wooden puppet with such spirituality can only be made from a spiritual tree that is at least a thousand years old. There are only a few thousand-year-old spiritual trees left in my Buddhist sect… What a pity, what a pity!”
Shenzui dropped the wood chips in his hand and grabbed the remains of the metal Qilin.
The sword light flashed slightly, and the second sword master Chong appeared out of thin air and slashed at Shenzui with his sword .
Black smoke exploded beside the Second Sword Master Chong, and a terrifying giant python as thick as a small house and nearly a hundred feet long suddenly jumped out and sprayed a mouthful of poisonous gas at him.
