Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 44: Uncertain Friendship
Ping Lili casually wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. This round of detoxification operation that was completed in one go had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy. However, seeing that the entire battalion of about 10,000 rebels had all escaped the control of the Kongming tribe's poison and regained their original consciousness, Ping Lili felt that it was all worth it.
Save as many as you can. Although Pinglili does not have the compassionate spirit of a saint who wants to save the world, doing something with a clear conscience within his ability still makes him feel happy.
There was a figure in white fluttering behind her. Without turning around, Ping Lili knew it was Qingluan. She subconsciously forced a smile and was about to say something like "good cooperation" but it got stuck in her throat because she suddenly remembered what Qingluan had hidden from her before. A feeling of unhappiness rose in her heart. The smile froze on her face and she turned her head away quickly and awkwardly.
In fact, Ping Lili is not such a petty person. If it were someone else, she might be able to pretend to respond, and even if she was unhappy, she could still barely cover it up. However, because the other person was Qingluan, she didn't even bother to cover it up.
Before, she had always regarded him as her first real friend since coming to the Netherworld, a friend she liked from the bottom of her heart. However, she was suddenly told yesterday that everything turned out to be just a game, and her encounter with him was just the meeting of chess pieces in the game. This deliberately arranged friendship, like a haze, has always shrouded Pinglili's heart and cannot be shaken off.
What Ping Lili could not accept the most was Qing Luan's attitude. Her frank look made Ping Lili particularly unhappy. Why was she the only one who was so entangled, while the other party could continue to treat her as usual, as if nothing had happened?
Ping Lili always couldn't help but wonder, is it true that in the other person's heart, she is just a task, a cold chess piece?
Qingluan didn't know what was going on in Yinglili's mind, and even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to understand it. The bronze mask covered all her emotions, and she asked Yinglili in a very calm voice: "Miss Ying, how are you, can you continue?"
Ping Lili nodded silently. She knew that this was just the beginning. Only one tenth of the 100,000 bewitched rebels had been eliminated.
She leaped towards the Qiongqi, but when she turned around, she heard Qingluan shouting from behind: "Be careful!"
Immediately afterwards, a series of hissing sounds came from behind!
Several deadly ghost claws suddenly appeared behind her from nowhere. Those skinny ghost claws looked like they would fall apart at the slightest touch, but they carried the sound of wind and thunder and were extremely powerful.
But when those ghost claws were just inches away from Gong Lili's back, they were tightly bound by strands of black hair!
Ping Lili turned around and saw Qingluan had come behind her without her noticing. She used her thousands of black hair to block the sudden attack of the ghost claws for her. The ghost claw in the front was only a fraction of a second away from Qingluan's body. The tip of the inch-long claw was eerie and sharp, as if it would tear Qingluan's body into pieces in the next moment!
Ying Lili's eyelids twitched violently, and there was a frost in her eyes. Her white fingers moved like dragons, and golden talismans flew into the air. Those golden talismans seemed to have life, and they followed the ghost claws bound by Qingluan's black hair and stuck to them in an instant. After a few bangs, those ghost claws disappeared in an instant.
But the matter was not over yet! The Kongming wizards who were stunned by Gong Lili suddenly calmed down, as if someone was secretly instructing them. They suddenly found a backbone and stopped fighting on their own. They quickly gathered together and formed a strange pentagram formation, surrounding Gong Lili and Qingluan in the center of the pentagram, and separated them from Li Ying and the 10,000 Fengyi soldiers who had regained their consciousness!
The rest of the rebels on the left wing, at this moment, seemed to have just woken up from a dream and surrounded them together. War drums thundered, horns blew, and amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, the goddess of victory seemed to suddenly fall to the side of the rebels!
At this moment, both Ping Lili and Qing Luan were imprisoned in the pentagram magic circle. They subconsciously stood back to back and looked around vigilantly. They heard some strange spells being chanted in high and low voices, sometimes sharp and sometimes low. Then they spat out black blood at the pentagram magic circle. In an instant, the surroundings were suddenly filled with black fog and a miserable wind. They seemed to hear the wailing of ghosts and saw wandering souls dancing wildly, as if they had arrived in the ghostland!
"It's the 'Ghost Realm Magic Array'!" Qingluan exclaimed, and her black hair instantly turned into countless long and short green arrows of light. The arrows flashing with green light shot out in all directions in an instant!
However, the arrow of light shot into the ghostly magic circle, but it was like a drop in the ocean. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened!
This magic formation was like opening the door to the underworld, and the wandering souls and evil spirits around were increasing in number and getting closer and closer!
They wailed, their fangs sharp, and brought gusts of cold wind gathering from all directions, approaching Qingluan and Pinglili in the center inch by inch!
Then, groups of blue will-o'-the-wisp flames suddenly rose up! Under the blowing of the gloomy wind, the will-o'-the-wisp flames burned even more vigorously.
Dozens of ghostly lights spun around the two of them, dazzling them. In the ghostly lights, countless ghosts floated around, emitting shrill laughter, and the shrill sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling constantly hit the eardrums of the two of them, making them shudder.
Qingluan's flute sounded again, but unlike the melodious music before, the sound of the flute this time was high-pitched and sharp, with waves of strong tremolos! And after each wave of tremolos, there was a burst of ghosts howling. Those wandering ghosts were first torn and twisted by an invisible force, and their unrecognizable faces showed ferocity, horror, hideousness, bloodlust, coldness... But there was still no sign of dissipation!
And those will-o'-the-wisp fires were only temporarily stopped from moving forward, but they kept circling around the two of them, as if waiting for a better opportunity!
And standing in the midst of countless ghost fires, Ying Lili had let Qingluan fight alone since Qingluan shouted out the "Ghost Realm Array", while she herself concentrated with her eyes closed and remained motionless. In fact, she did not give up fighting back. On the contrary, Ying Lili learned her lesson this time, and did not, as she did in the past, use all her martial arts to fight without thinking.
Because she had already consumed a lot of her spiritual power in the previous detoxification operation, if she attacked randomly at this time, it would only be a waste of spiritual power. Therefore, she calmed down and tried to use the mysterious art of heaven and earth to find the secret of breaking the magic circle. However, she was seen pinching the questioning heart formula with her right hand and pointing to the sky formula with her left hand, her eyebrows were deeply knitted, and she fell into her own meditation.
Trust yourself too much?
Wasn't she still angry with herself and unwilling to forgive herself until just now? Why was she so confident in entrusting her care to herself now? Qingluan found it a little unbelievable.
Staying with her will be more beneficial than practicing in Penglai Fairyland for a hundred years.
Can this woman behind me really help a mortal like me find an opportunity to become an immortal?
Since the master said so, just believe her for now.
At this moment, Ping Lili's eyes suddenly opened, and she drew a virtual circle in the air with one hand. Then, the virtual circle suddenly formed a black hole with infinite suction, which instantly sucked in all the ghost fires around!
There were more than just those ghost fires. At this moment, Gong Lili gently pushed and pushed with his other hand, as if infinite spiritual power was continuously injected into the black hole. Suddenly, the yin energy in the entire "Ghost Domain Magic Array" became rapid, and in the blink of an eye, it was all sucked into the bottomless black hole, along with those wandering souls and evil spirits, and turned into nothingness.
The black fog gradually dissipated, and the Kongming tribe wizards around gradually revealed their figures!
Murderous intent suddenly appeared in Pinglili's eyes!
She clenched her right hand, with her thumb pointing to the Tiancheng Jue, and the other four fingers emitted four kinds of strange lights, namely ice blue, pure white, lavender, and emerald green, which circled in her palm and gathered into a colorful ball of light in the blink of an eye. The inside was shrouded in mist and seemed to contain the myriad mysteries of the ancient chaos as described in the legend.
Then, she shouted softly, "Go!"
The ball of light suddenly flew out from her palm, and then emitted thousands of rays of light, which burned Qingluan so much that she could hardly open her eyes. Then, only screams were heard. When Qingluan opened her eyes again, she couldn't help but gasp.
There were no Kongming wizards around. There was silence within a radius of ten feet around her and Ying Lili.
It was as if nothing had happened and no one had ever appeared!
Where did the Sky-Ming wizards go?
Qingluan didn't believe that the woman behind him had the ability to turn at least hundreds of Kongming wizards into annihilation in an instant. So, where did they go?
"This 'ghost realm magic array' is nothing more than them using a spell to open the ghost realm gate and lure those wandering ghosts out. I just found a way to close the ghost realm gate and, by the way, sent them and those evil spirits over together."
Qing Luan gasped again . In such a short time, she had figured out the secret of this 'ghost realm array'? My God, what a terrifying insight this is! This woman really should not be underestimated.
At this moment, Qingluan actually had a little more appreciation for the woman behind him and wanted to make friends with her.
