Youbao Chapter 62: Nine Dragons Seize the Treasure (4)
The surroundings immediately fell into darkness. I was horrified and was about to shout out when suddenly there was a light in front of me. It turned out that the old Taoist priest had lit the Taoist fire again.
At this moment, in the darkness ahead, there was a sound of clapping.
Not bad, not bad. He is indeed a master of the Five Elements Meridian, with a keen sense of perception, and he can actually detect the breath of my Zhong family's celestial corpse. It is said that the Five Elements Meridian originated from the Five Classics, and he is a person of great virtue, talent, and knowledge. It is indeed well-deserved.
That is the name of the Five Classics, and has nothing to do with my Five Elements Meridian. The old Taoist priest responded coldly.
The other party laughed, his voice was old, and there was a sense of uncertainty in the cave: "The master said so, so it is. But today is a big day for my three veins of heavenly corpses, no one is allowed to disturb me, please rest here for a while, and I will explain to you after this matter is over."
Impossible. The old Taoist priest's answer was still indifferent: Unless you hand over the Demon-Subduing Sword and Gamu, as well as the Earth-Nourishing Corpse Pill that you took from me.
Master, please don't make it difficult for us. Another different voice came from the front: The Demon-Subduing Sword has the effect of suppressing, and Gamu is the key. As for the Earth-Nourishing Corpse Pill, it has been refined into a Corpse King and handed over to Gamu.
But as long as you are willing to wait here for two hours, all the items will be returned to their original owners. The man continued: Although we, the Three Heavenly Corpses, are not afraid of the Zhou family and the Five Elements, we do not want to make enemies easily. It would be better for us to sit down and talk together, so that we can discuss everything.
What kind of negotiation is this? They don’t give me what I want and they don’t hand me over the people I want. I muttered.
The sound was reflected by the mountain wall in the cave and was very loud. The other party also heard it. After a moment of silence, he said: There are secret treasures in all three veins of my Heavenly Corpse, which are as valuable as the Demon-Subduing Sword. If you are willing to negotiate...
The secret treasure of the three veins? Take one out, and you will get something for nothing. No one is a fool. The old man in the pale gold short coat said.
I looked at him in surprise, but his words were not refuted by the Zhou family. These people are too shameless, they were really persuaded?
There was silence in the darkness ahead for a while. Old Man Jin was getting impatient and was about to start cursing when he saw a green light ahead. A round bead floated in the air and slowly moved forward. However, it stopped about three feet away from us. It was obvious that the other party was afraid that we would suddenly snatch it away.
This is a green wood spirit bead, which has a magical effect of gathering spirits to heal wounds. If it is pushed to the extreme by Taoism, it can bring the dead back to life. I got it from the spirit wood monster four hundred years ago after much hardship from my Tianshi vein.
This is a good thing. Old Man Jin said: I love fighting, but with this thing, I am not afraid of getting hurt, not bad.
My heart sank, and at this moment, I suddenly found that the Taoist's right hand behind his back was slowly sliding, and a palm-sized empty talisman was about to take shape. I could see it, and the people of the Zhou family could naturally see it, but no one said anything.
At this time, Old Man Jin spoke again: Since you guys have delivered it to my door, I can't refuse it. But I want this Qingmu Lingzhu, and the Demon-Subduing Sword... I want it too!
As soon as he uttered the three words "Demon Subduing Sword", the old Taoist suddenly drew a talisman with his right hand and shouted softly: The five elements of heaven and earth, the wood spirit god appears, collect!
As soon as the old Taoist priest cast his spell, the palm-sized empty talisman instantly dissipated, and the next moment it appeared next to the Qingmu Lingdan. It wrapped around the bead like a stream of water, and then flew back at an extremely fast speed.
As for the Zhou family, after Old Man Jin shouted, the five old men took action one after another.
The other side shouted angrily from the front: You shameless people! I am so angry! Kill them!
Destroy the Zhou family! Slay the demons!
The sound was so loud that the loud shouts of the Zhou family members echoed in the cave. More than 200 disciples rushed forward, and all kinds of magic weapons were displayed.
Heaven and earth are boundless, destroying evil and righteousness. Thunder and fire are mighty, defeating evil and exorcising demons! Divine weapons, thunder and fire are as urgent as the law!
Everyone shouted together, and the curse sounded like thunder, constantly echoing in the belly of the mountain. The whole mountain seemed to be shaken, and above the cave, a dark red mist appeared out of thin air, and the magic weapons of the Zhou family members showed bright and dark lightning.
The four old men of the Zhou family rushed out first. The five of them raised their palms together, and a dim golden light that could ward off evil spirits appeared in their palms. They struck the air and made a loud "boom" sound.
I vaguely heard someone groaning, but I didn't know if it was the other person or the five old men from the Zhou family.
The golden light that wards off evil is naturally able to restrain evil magic. Although the Zhong family's heavenly corpse is named after magic, it is also evil. The darkness ahead was suddenly torn apart, and human figures could be seen in the dark mist.
After tearing through the enemy's defense, the five old men of the Zhou family quickly retreated. Three of them joined us with a clan elder, while the other two turned around and rushed towards the dark red cloud.
The old Taoist grabbed my sleeve and said: Let’s go!
He actually wanted to take this opportunity to pass through the opponent's defense line and go straight to the rear. However, the opponent clearly wanted to hold us back, so it was not so easy to let him go.
Lines of dark mist were entangled like chains, mixed with countless obscure human faces, twisted and sometimes opening their mouths, sometimes laughing, and sometimes crying.
The cave suddenly became eerie and scary because of these things.
The old Taoist priest grabbed my sleeve, followed by the old man, and then the Zhou family's patriarch and three old men. The group of people seemed to not see the dark chains in front of them and rushed forward on their own.
I was so scared that I almost recited the Eight Ropes spell , but at this moment, I heard a loud "boom" from above. It was like thunder beating drums in the sky, shaking people's heads and making them dizzy.
Divine Weapon Thunder and Fire, help me clear the way! A few loud shouts came from behind, and then, red pillars of fire flashed past with a roar, and crashed into the dark fog.
Hundreds of chains were broken by the thunder and fire, and with the help of more thunder and fire, the opponent's entire defense line was penetrated. An extremely narrow road appeared before us!
The old Taoist threw the snatched Wooden Spirit Pearl into his sleeve, and two empty symbols were drawn instantly: Five Elements of Heaven, please ask the Western White Tiger Guardian God, and go with the Golden Sword to break evil!
The empty symbol turned into a golden sword, and it quickly passed through the narrow road. The black claws and misty chains extending from both sides were cut off by the sword. The old Taoist priest pulled me and swept past like the wind.
In the fog, the other side's angry shouts of killing were heard: Stop them!
I heard a dull roar and felt a huge pressure coming from all around me. Several black clouds rose out of nowhere and came towards us. However, the next moment, they were dispersed by the lightning and fire that came in an instant.
The other party was obviously extremely angry and said viciously: What a great demon-subduing Zhou family! When this matter is settled, the Three Heavenly Corpses will definitely come to your Zhou family to demand an explanation!
The Zhou family responded with the two old men on the dark cloud shouting again: Heaven and earth are boundless, destroy evil and uphold justice! Thunder and fire are overwhelming, sweeping the world!
Two extremely thick pillars of fire, accompanied by thunder, swept down from the dark red clouds like parallel tornadoes. The entire cave rumbled loudly, rocks flew everywhere, and the pillars of fire and lightning crashed into the black fog and exploded.
Our pressure suddenly decreased, and the old Taoist priest sped up again. In just a moment, he led me out of the encirclement.
At the same time, I heard someone shouting in a deep voice in the dark fog: Please ask the Heavenly Corpse to cast a spell, the sea of corpses is endless!
The Zhou family elders following behind us suddenly let out a slight cry of surprise, as if the Zhong family's attack this time was very powerful. However, we no longer had the energy to care about that, and while the other party was restrained by the Zhou family's thunder and fire formation, we rushed into the darker mountain path.
There were constant vibrations behind, and from time to time there were thunder and the roar of monsters. Faintly, someone could be heard screaming.
This was a life-and-death struggle. On one side was the Zhong family, the main branch of the Heavenly Corpse, and on the other side was the Demon-Subduing Family. It was a tit-for-tat fight, and the strength of both sides was almost the same. If it weren't for the Zhou family's surprise attack , catching the other side off guard, we would probably have to wait a while to get out.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly stopped. At the same time, I felt the vibrations all around me getting stronger and stronger, and the mountain walls were constantly twisting and cracking.
Is this a landslide? I was shocked.
The old Taoist said in a deep voice: Gamu has begun to borrow the resentment of the Nine Dragons, Longshan has its own response, we have to hurry! Let's go!
After that, he pulled me along like a dragon, weaving through the falling rocks. The speed was unimaginable, the so-called 70 mph was just that fast.
The three old men from the Zhou family followed closely, and as for the elder from the clan and the old man from the thirteenth branch of Zhuyou, they were even more at ease. Of course, this does not mean that they are necessarily much faster than the old Taoist priest, after all, they are alone, and the old Taoist priest is holding me.
After crossing the mountain path, the view in front of us suddenly became bright, and we actually came out of the belly of the mountain.
Not far ahead was the 100-meter-high Mount Everest, but what panicked me was that a large group of people were waiting just ahead.
They were scattered everywhere, and at a glance there were no less than 300 of them. The clothes they wore and the strange and disgusting magic weapons in their hands showed that they were from the walking corpse lineage.
However, they have at least 1,800 disciples, why are there only this few? Did they go to cooperate with Gamu?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the old man invited by Yuanling County chuckle: It's a rare opportunity to stretch your muscles. I thought they were all cowards.
