Chapter 91: Changes in the Sea of Qi, the Beginning of the Spirit
But after all, it is just an ordinary bird, how can it withstand the Samadhi True Fire?
Shuikeng's lower back suddenly straightened up: "No, what it spits out is not fire, but demon pills!"
The giant eagle's rage was so intense that it shook the earth, but its end was not at all majestic. It raised its head and screamed miserably, and the flesh all over its body seemed to be sucked dry in the blink of an eye, and quickly shriveled up. It was torn to pieces alive by the large skeleton that stubbornly refused to shrink.
Looking again, the bird's exposed bones had turned into stone, separated cleanly from the flesh and skin. They were dark in color, revealing a dead aura, and were covered with densely packed talismans. The bird was not yet dead, but had already become stiff.
It couldn’t retract its wings, which were more than two human long, and it fell heavily to the ground, dying with its eyes open.
These giant eagles are like ephemeral flowers, which only bloom once in their lifetime. They use all their vitality to water a burning inner elixir, and then rush forward without hesitation, one after another, to die.
Even though they are just animals with no intelligence, don't they know how to be afraid of death?
There are always times when this world makes people feel that might is right.
The corners of Shuikeng's eyes twitched violently, and the flying feathers stung her eyes.
However, as soon as she moved, Li Yun shouted, "What are you doing? Sit down!"
Shuikeng suddenly felt a huge sense of helplessness. She wondered why she couldn't just call the shots and get rid of all the bad guys. Then she thought, if she was really that powerful and everyone was afraid of her, it would be no good. Either she would become a bad guy like the fourth brother, or like Gu Daozhu, whom she had no impression of, everyone would be trying to harm her.
Shuikeng had traveled around the world for more than a hundred years, and for the first time, he felt a little bored.
Xuan Huang raised his lips slightly and said, "Very good, let's start the formation."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the mountains and rivers changed color.
The sky of the entire Taiyin Mountain seemed to be covered by a black flag and thick clouds. Several large mountains around it rumbled up. The tops of the mountains were filled with people holding black flags. They stomped their feet and shouted at the same time, like soldiers descended from heaven. For a moment, people dared not look directly at them.
A group of eagles circled densely under the billowing black banners, and after a moment they slowly moved away to both sides. The black banners above everyone's heads were removed, and a huge mirror covered their heads. Shadows were dim in the sky, as if all the mountains and rivers were reflected in it, and even blurry human figures were reflected like a mirage.
A beam of light suddenly shot out from the mirror, covering the entire Ten Direction Formation.
Xuan Huang said indifferently, "I heard that the demon dragon went in? The Ten Directions Formation has been sealed, so he doesn't have to come out. Come on, set up the Bone Transformation Formation. It will take no more than 49 days. No matter if it's a demon dragon or a demon phoenix, turn it into a pill."
You Liang's face changed drastically: "Uncle Xuanhuang, my brother Wu is still inside. According to the rules of our sect, you cannot kill fellow disciples without the order of the sect leader. You..."
Xuan Huang smiled at him reservedly: "My nephew, you are absolutely right. Now that you know, come and meet your new leader - Wu Changtian is not doing his job well, and he also leaked my Tianyan secrets. He should be executed for his crime!"
You Liang staggered back a step, looking at this group of former fellow disciples in disbelief.
Xuan Huang didn't take this little sword cultivator seriously at all. He clasped his hands arrogantly and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We are here to eliminate demons and defend the Dao today. It has nothing to do with you fellow Daoists. Just to prevent accidental injuries, please stay where you are, otherwise..."
He chuckled, straightened his sleeves, and directed his greedy eyes towards the Ten Square Array, saying, "What are you still standing there for?"
Immediately behind Xuan Huang, several cultivators stepped out from the crowd, each holding a token. As the tokens of the two men passed by, the thick fog outside the Ten Directions Formation was suddenly attracted and began to boil and churn, and the two only remaining candles outside the formation shook violently.
Li Yun, who had just been able to keep calm in the pit, could no longer sit still this time.
However, he still had time to act, as an extremely powerful divine sense suddenly enveloped the entire Ten Directions Formation and forcibly separated the tokens from the formation.
Xuan Huang’s face changed: “Tian Yan is handling a case, who dares to stand in the way!”
I saw an eight-diagram plate dripping with blood flying up, expanding a hundred times in the air, and spinning rapidly, throwing out the Tianyan monks who were holding tokens.
The Eight Diagrams Plate blocked the Ten Directions Formation, which was an open challenge to Tian Yan. Everyone was shocked and their eyes were focused on one place. The consumptive Tang Zhen coughed twice, stood up, bowed to Xuan Huang, and said, "My fellow Taoist, the blood oath has been made, and the heaven and earth are witnesses. If you forcefully break it, they will suffer tenfold backlash. Even if you are indeed worthy of praise for your ability to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, what about the lives of these innocent brothers?"
At this time, everyone discovered that the Tianyan people present were divided into two factions. One faction was brought by Xuan Huang, and the other faction stood behind Tang Zhen at the same time - these were all people who had sworn a blood oath with the Demon Cultivation Sect. There was a huge barrier between the two groups of people, and they stared at each other in bewilderment, ready for internal strife at any time.
Xuan Huang asked angrily: "Who are you?"
Tang Zhen said calmly, "I am ashamed. I am just a nobody and not worth mentioning."
Xuan Huang sneered: "I see a dark shadow lingering around you, and you look like a ghost cultivator. You must be no good, let's take you down together!"
At his command, the monks of Tianyan rose up like black crows, and giant eagles in the sky roared down at the same time.
Led by Tang Zhen, the cultivators who were initially intimidated by Xuan Huang and others immediately reacted.
I don't know who was the first to shout, "Bah, you are the one who brought us here with the Demon-Exorcism Order, using coercion and bribery, under the pretext of exorcising demons and defending morality. It's obvious that you want to use the excuse of exorcising demons to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
The crowd was in chaos. No one, whether they were righteous or evil, was stupid. This group of people came with great momentum and clearly had bad intentions.
Xuan Huang showed a stiff smile on his face: "Since you don't want to accept my toast, let me drink the penalty wine——"
He raised his head and let out a long roar, and the great formation that enveloped the entire Taiyin Mountain suddenly took effect. Countless clay men rose from the ground, unharmed by swords and knives. When they shattered onto the ground, they immediately formed into a new one and pounced on the monks in the field. At the same time, giant eagles in the sky swooped down like raindrops, pinning the flying monks firmly to the ground.
The people in Tianyan, which had been divided into two, fought fiercely in one place, fighting for their lives.
Outside the sealed Ten Directions Formation, the two candles were like two lanterns in a storm, swaying but never extinguished.
Li Yun saw this and knew that there would be no peaceful ending. He collected the stone mustard seeds and said to the water pit in a deep voice, "Those eagles are ordinary birds, but they also have demon elixirs. You have inherited some of the power of the demon king. Can you make them turn against us?"
Shuikeng didn't waste any words and revealed her true form as a red crane. Then, the flaming divine bird soared into the sky like a ray of auspicious light. The bloodline of the Phoenix Nine Chicks was immediately revealed. Even though her demon bones were not yet fully formed and she could not exert even one or two tenths of her full demon power, she was always chased and beaten. However, she was at an advantage when facing unintelligent demon cultivators.
The red crane cried three times, and the eagles, who had been fighting bravely, gradually dispersed their formation. Then, they circled and landed one by one, slowly calmed down, and surrounded the red crane. The evil spirit of the talismans engraved on their bones seemed to be dissolved by the auspicious sign.
The monks who were suppressed on the ground immediately got a chance to catch their breath, and the battlefield quickly turned from the ground to the sky.
Xuan Huang was frightened by the sudden appearance of the big monster. He jumped off his Pegasus and rushed into the puddle himself.
The eagles turned against them very thoroughly and immediately attacked them in groups.
In the chaos, Li Yun jumped onto the back of the puddle and stood there like a pin that stabilizes the sea: "A little higher, I have definitely seen this formation before, a little higher, I want to calculate the center of the formation."
The puddle flew higher and higher, and Li Yun had a panoramic view of the people all over the mountain, frantically calculating the formation within the formation.
He himself had never imagined that the young boy who was so scared that his legs became weak when he was scared by a few tiny rat spirits in the Demon Valley would one day be forced to remain so calm.
On the ground, Nian Dada tried hard to tear his gaze away from the two candles. At this moment, he didn't want to think about who the remaining two people were.
Nian wiped his face, raised his sword, and exchanged three swords with a Tianyan monk who rushed in front of him. He staggered and retreated repeatedly. All kinds of magic weapons flew around him, and he didn't know whether they belonged to the enemy or his own people. With Nian's cultivation level, he could only run away in such a chaotic situation.
Suddenly, he was covered by a large palm-leaf fan, which deflected several sword energies that attempted to attack him, and was like a protective umbrella over his head. Nian Dada turned around and saw his chubby father solemnly making a hand gesture, and several fans flew up and down at his urging, protecting all the monks in Mingming Valley.
Nian Dada: "Dad!"
The always cheerful Nian Mingming looked more solemn than ever before. He stuck out his big belly, glanced at the particularly conspicuous puddle in the sky from a distance, and said, "Son, since you have already joined the Fuyao Sect, you should go back there now."
Nian Dada was confused: "What?"
Nian Mingming shouted, “Go quickly!”
Nian Dada couldn't understand his father's intention. He hesitated for a moment, and the next moment, he was suddenly lifted into the air and blown more than ten feet away by his father's big cattail leaf fan.
Nian rolled out with a grumble, falling all over the place and almost bumping into someone's feet. When he looked up, it was You Liang from Tianyanchu!
Nian was startled, and tried to crawl away from You Liang. Just as he was about to scream "Daddy", something strange happened in the field.
Xuan Huang roared, and dozens of giant eagles exploded and died in front of him at the same time. The puddle involuntarily retreated backwards. At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the Nine Dragon Carriage, which had been silent.
The hand was pale and clean, with dazzling gold embroidery on the rolled-up cuffs, and in the hand was a token the size of a palm.
The person in the car whispered, "It's been delayed for too long. I'm afraid the Ten Square Formation will change. Let's fight quickly and decisively."
After he finished speaking, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the token, which was extremely penetrating, as if it had penetrated the night sky that had lasted for hundreds or thousands of years in an instant. Hundreds of figures suddenly appeared in the field without any warning. Upon closer inspection, they were all people from various major sects...
There are five or six in Xuanwu Hall, two or three in Baihu Villa...even including Zhuang Nanxi who had actively worked for Cheng Qian on the Locking Immortals Platform, there are probably more than seven or eight in Mulan Mountain, with more in the big sects, and even some small sects and even in the magic sects. These people are of different ages, different cultivation levels, and their attire is completely different, but they obeyed the mysterious token at the same time and swung their swords to slash at their fellow disciples.
No one was on guard against their former fellow disciples. For a time, all the major sects were flooded with blood, and everyone was stunned.
They are Tianyanchu, they are everywhere, and they are known as the hand that brings peace to the world.
Nian watched helplessly as an unknown elder in Mingming Valley stabbed a spear into Nian Mingming's chest.
Countless talismans exploded on the gun barrel, and he couldn't even see the last expression on Nian Mingming's face.
Nian Dada remained crawling on the ground, stunned.
You Liang followed his gaze and whispered in disbelief: "Are they...are they all crazy?"
The flock of giant eagles were slaughtered by Xuan Huang in an instant, and the puddle lost its last barrier.
Xuan Huang looked over with a sinister gaze. He looked hideous and covered in blood. For a moment, no one knew who the real devil was.
The body of Tonghe in the puddle was trembling slightly. Li Yun knew that she was afraid, so he finally slowly drew out the sword that he had placed on his body like a decoration.
But Li Yun still doesn't have a soul after all.
The consciousness of the puddle came: "Second Brother, the eldest brother gave me a demon king's inner elixir..."
Li Yun pretended to be calm and interrupted her, "Don't joke. A hundred-year-old red crane is just a young bird whose feathers haven't even grown yet. Forget about digesting it. Just swallowing it, the three thousand-year-old inner elixir is enough to make you explode and die... Alas, you demons, even though you live long, you grow too slowly."
Shuikeng asked in a crying voice: "What should we do then?"
"I'll give it a try." Li Yun licked his dry lips. "Every time there's a fight, it's always my senior brother and Xiao Qian and the others. This time it's finally my turn."
Puddle: "But you can't beat him."
Li Yun laughed: "Junior sister, how come you are so good at chatting? If I die, don't be shy, turn into a sparrow and hide in the crowd during the chaos, they may not be able to catch you."
After saying that, Li Yun took a deep breath and jumped down from the puddle. The scabbard carried him into the air. The sword in his hand was so smooth that it looked as if it had never seen blood.
Xuan Huang had already seen that he had no soul at all, and did not take him seriously at all. He shook his sleeves and a long spear appeared, rushing towards him like a raging fire. "
Li Yun shouted loudly, and his sword was like a rainbow - the young man will have a bright future.
He was not proficient in swordsmanship, and the first move he thought of in the crisis was the first move that his master taught him on Fuyao Mountain.
"Master, what is sword intent?"
"Sword intention, to put it simply, is what you were thinking about when you were practicing this move. What were you thinking about?"
"I feel like I'm about to fly. I want to go out and see what's out there. Master, when will you take us down the mountain to play? Oh, yes, I also want to see what's in the back mountain... Ouch."
"Don't always think about running to the cave in the back mountain to make trouble. How many times has your master told you? You little brat, why don't you listen..."
Before Li Yun's sword arrived, the sword wind had already crashed into the flames brought by the long halberd without hesitation. The flames that rushed out were like a fire cloud cut by a strong wind. All the scattered true energy in his inner palace suddenly condensed into one point. In an instant, the purple palace opened, the sea of qi changed, and the soul was formed. It was as if something suddenly awakened in his heart, and all the people and things in the world slowed down a beat...
The sword finally collided with the halberd.
The sword was defeated and broke into three pieces.
However, the remaining sword intent was like an unruly wind, whistling away from the dull iron blade and sweeping out without restraint. Even the raging fire could not stop it.
Xuanhuan was so startled that he couldn't dodge in time, and a half-inch long cut appeared on his face.
Li Yun was knocked backwards by the long spear and fell directly from the powerless scabbard. Tonghe hurriedly caught him with a whistling sound and flapped its wings vigorously to fly away.
Li Yun felt a sharp pain in his chest, but for some unknown reason he felt very happy. He thought, "Oh, so as long as you are not afraid of pain or injury, fighting to the death can be so enjoyable."
As he thought so, he took out a dozen talismans from his arms, glanced at them casually, then infused them with true energy and raised his hand to hit the sky. Seeing this, Xuan Huang, who was chasing him relentlessly, instinctively slapped him with his halberd, and the talismans instantly turned into powder in front of his eyes, exploding into tens of thousands of big-bellied katydids with fire on their bodies. They fearlessly pounced on Xuan Huang, and a katydid rain fell.
This item is used to deal with powerful people. Whoever is stronger can break the talisman into smaller pieces, and will produce more katydids.
This is what Master Li does.
Li Yun thought to himself, "It's just the Nine Links."
Alas, although fighting is exciting, my chest hurts so much.
Xuan Huang was extremely annoyed by his endless little tricks, and he suddenly let out a long roar. His whole body grew ten times larger in the air, like an iron tower, and pressed down his pillar-like halberd with a tsunami.
It seemed that Shuikeng and Li Yun were about to be beaten to death underneath.
At this time, Tang Zhen finally took action.
Li Yun had never seen Tang Zhen take action. In his impression, that man seemed to be similar to himself. Although he was knowledgeable and intelligent, he was basically just a talker and in poor health. He had never been seen holding any weapon.
Tang Zhen had no weapons, but he used his bare hands to hold up the mountain-like halberd. His hands seemed to be made of gold and jade, and he remained calm even in the raging fire.
Tang Zhen said without even turning his head: "Friend Li, have you figured out the key to the formation?"
Li Yun, who was nearly beaten to death, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "The day after tomorrow, Gen position."
Tang Zhen said, "It's pretty much what I calculated. If I'm not mistaken, it should be in that carriage. You go ahead."
Li Jun hesitated for a moment: "Then you..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Zhen frowned suddenly, and the hands that were holding the halberd made a terrible "crackling" sound. The next moment, his fingers to his wrists cracked like stone. After a loud bang, Tang Zhen's hands fell apart.
He suddenly took three steps back, but not a drop of blood flowed out of his empty sleeves.
Xuan Huang laughed and said, "I thought you had some magical power, but it turns out you are just a refined corpse—"
Tang Zhen coughed twice, looking as if he would soon die, but he said, "Everyone will die one day, so don't worry, fellow Taoist."
After he finished speaking, a dark color surged in his sleeves, and a pair of white bones appeared, growing on the gentle man's body, looking extremely terrifying. Tang Zhen said: "Friend Li, don't worry too much, I still have some tricks."
Li Yun has never trusted Tang Zhen, because Tang Zhen is a person who cannot be trusted at all. He is too scary to think about. However, at this time, there is no one else he can rely on except him.
He suddenly heard someone calling out, "Second Master!"
Li Yun looked down and saw a sword thrown up from the ground. It was Nian Dada who was crying and snotting.
Li Yun took it in his hand and said decisively to the puddle: "Let's go!"
Then, a man rode a sword and caught up with him. It was You Liang.
You Liang: "I will protect you, Senior."
The two men and the bird flew towards the carriage like a shooting star.
Only when the divine bird Tonghe really started fighting would people discover that her cultivation was not high. Her appearance was still very intimidating, and You Liang was at least a sword cultivator with a primordial spirit. At this moment, he was filled with sorrow and hatred, and he opened the way with great momentum.
As soon as the water pit opened its mouth and spit out a real Samadhi Fire, the monks were not afraid, but the Pegasus were frightened and the aerial convoy immediately fled in all directions.
arrive!
Li Yun was delighted, and a sword energy flashed across, cutting open the carriage curtain that was presumptuously embroidered with nine dragons. Just as he was about to open the curtain with his sword, a white and transparent hand suddenly stretched out from inside.
The hand grasped the tip of his sword like a flower. At the same time, the man in the car raised his head, suddenly smiled at Li Yun, and said in a slow and soft voice: "After so many years, there are still juniors who dare to tear my car curtains. You are really admirable."
At that moment, Li Yun felt an indescribable chill - he had been hanging out with Yan Zhengming, Cheng Qian and the like all day long, and although he knew he could not beat anyone, he had never truly felt such a deep fear of anyone.
No... this person is definitely not some royal dandy created by using elixirs.
The cold murderous intent spread in the warm smile of the man in the dragon robe. You Liang turned his head suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Be careful——"
Li Yun's heart seemed to be grabbed.
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from under their feet.
The man in dragon robe let out an "Eh!" and was so surprised that he didn't even bother to kill Li Yun. He let him fall straight into the water, and he rolled and crawled to catch him after being nearly turned over by the wings.
The next moment, a surge of demonic energy roared up into the sky, and then, the frosty sword intent seemed to come from the sky, and the sword light was everywhere. The Nine Dragon Carriage immediately fell apart, and the people in the carriage spun out, hanging in the air without any basis. They looked around, rubbed their chin lightly, and said: "You can break out of the sealed Ten Directions Formation, you have some skills."
The three men and the demon were already at the four corners, surrounding the man in the dragon robe in the middle.
Yan Zhengming held a sword in one hand and his fan in the other, and said to Wu Changtian on the side: "Hey, who is that? Which emperor do you think this old monster who calls himself a prince is? Why does his face look like it's covered with a layer of white powder? Wouldn't the concubines be scared to death when they see him at night?"
Wu Changtian could not understand the concern and feelings of Empress Yan, and said with an unpleasant expression, "Master Yan, please forgive me for making fun of you."
