Chapter 57 Ghost Face
These words are very heroic. But after Rong Qing finished speaking, she clasped her hands behind her back in a leisurely manner and did not take any action.
The air suddenly became quiet, and an unspeakable embarrassment quietly emerged.
Rong Qing stared down with her eyes, but said "Be careful."
This was said to Yun Tong and the others.
Even if the situation outside the formation changes, Zhong Qiu has always been sober. Now that he is awake, he naturally won't pay too much attention to the confrontation between Rong Qing and the barefoot man. He knew very well that if he wanted to help his master, he and his junior sister must first get out of this formation. This formation is extremely high-level, and it will not be easy to break it violently. The only way now is to try to get rid of the constraints and leave the restricted range of the formation. However, Yun Tong and Ling Fu also knew this very well, and watched eagerly from the outside of the formation, firmly guarding the formation. Zhong Qiu's eyes darkened. The many animal heads on the agarwood beads had indeed condensed into their strongest form.
A black dragon emerged from the formation. The dragon's head was extremely solid, like a living creature. The golden vines overlapped and tried to restrain the dragon's body, but as soon as they touched the raging dragon scales, they all fell down and they were unable to get close.
This dragon is very extraordinary. The bead string on Zhongqiu's wrist actually has multiple attack methods. It seems that it has exceeded the category of magical weapons and is a rare offensive spiritual weapon.
Rong Qing made a seal with her right hand and pointed with her left hand. The golden restriction took shape instantly and was thrown into the formation. At the same time, Yuntong and Lingfu's attack methods also fell into the formation... This formation was defensive from within but not from the outside. Zhongqiu and Yanshuang were equivalent to having to withstand the attacks of three people at the same time.
Rong Qinghui was distracted and took action because of the black dragon. The formation disk was set up by her, and she could faintly sense it. The appearance of the black dragon actually shook the array and made it a little unstable. If the black dragon was allowed to wreak havoc within the formation, Zhong Qiu and Yan Shuang would most likely fly out of the formation. This situation is something Rong Qing never wants to see.
"Roar -" the black dragon growled dissatisfiedly. The five dragon claws were strong and they grabbed onto the vines. With one claw, the branches and leaves turned into golden light spots. The real reason that makes it so manic is a restriction printed on its forehead.
At first, it was still lightly printed on it. But soon, like ink seeping into the paper, the forbidden lines were deeply imprinted on the forehead, and even penetrated deeper. The originally solid dragon head suddenly became a bit illusory.
Zhong Qiu looked solemn. This black dragon is his strongest attack method. If it is defeated, it will not be able to be used again for a short time. No longer hesitating at that moment, he quickly drank an elixir, and with a change of technique, the black dragon suddenly grew in size. The originally illusory dragon head solidified again.
The tall dragon moved within the formation, crushing the golden vines that kept appearing. The three slender red needles suddenly merged into one and turned into spikes, leading the dragon's head to a certain direction and slamming into it.
It seems that this lineage of people who call themselves "Hades" are not familiar with the forbidden formation. Rong Qing's ability to focus was limited, but the battle over Yun Tong always attracted her attention. The direction Yan Shuang chose was certainly not the way to break this formation. It's just a place where the array strength is relatively weak. This is also the decision made by those who do not understand this way. Breaking it with force is a hard truth in fighting.
Rong Qing's eyes flashed, and the figure that was originally standing in the air suddenly moved.
She fell quickly. And what she faced... was another black spear. This situation seems to be happening again.
This time, Rong Qing was not surprised. Instead, she paused for a moment. Following her will, Rong Zijin tightened her grip on the black spear. And her body made a strange twist under the force brought by the spear. This change was like an arrow after drawing a bow, which was faster than when she was wielding a sword. It shot into the bottom of the sword. In a state of death. A long passage suddenly penetrated, and the death energy was difficult to gather for a long time.
"As expected, you are not a foundation builder." Looking upward, the white robe rushed towards her like a meteor. More importantly, the direction of her fall was extremely precise.
The barefooted man was tall, but his eyes were very steady. He has great opportunities, and while he is confident, he will not underestimate other monks easily. In his opinion, this female cultivator named Yu Rong obviously had some good fortune. I don't know why the aura is revealed during the foundation building stage, but there are always treasures or secret techniques to disguise one's own aura. But... there are some skills that are only available in the Golden Core stage and cannot be faked.
Of course, foundation building can rely on some spells to stand in the air for a short period of time. But the symbol of the golden elixir stage: volley, is not that simple. To build a foundation and become a golden elixir, the key lies in the step of forming the elixir. The golden elixir in the Dantian is the reason why monks in the golden elixir stage can fly freely in the air. It can help monks fight gravity and make flying in the air become a monk's instinct.
If Rong Qing relied on magic to be able to fly briefly, she would never be able to forcibly change her body shape under the power of high-level magic. This cannot be achieved by relying on magic.
Rong Qing didn't panic at such high speed. If it were an ordinary golden elixir, it would be unavoidable to be frightened at such a speed. But this speed is not as fast as the sword-driving speed in her heyday, and she is completely able to control it. She even had the energy to quickly cast a restraint.
She still has a lot of various arrays, but it will take a few breaths to fully deploy them. When dealing with Zhongqiu and Yanshuang, there were two golden pills, Yuntong and Lingfu, nearby, so she could use the formation disk without interference. But when she was about to face the leader, she wasn't sure. She thought the other party wouldn't give her this opportunity easily, so she simply didn't use it.
Almost in the next moment, she saw dots of light appearing in the darkness formed by the death energy. Just like the twinkling stars in the night.
Those that shone brightly were angry... She briefly glimpsed in front of them.
"The chart only mentions the gathering of dead energy here, but it doesn't say how the dead energy gathers." A thought flashed through Rong Qing's mind, "It seems that the person who made the chart failed to reach the bottom completely. . These dead energy are clearly transformed from anger."
Wuwang Mountain is really too strange. Rong Qing found that she still underestimated this place. The two qi of life and death can actually be transformed here. Although the purpose is not obvious, the value of this function itself is extremely high.
"But where did the anger here come from? It's obvious that the anger is too rare and has been almost transformed." With this thought, Rong Qing completed the hand gesture with both hands, and the two sides were combined, and the golden threads appeared in the air. Transform into a butterfly.
This butterfly is very small. The wings seemed more tender than the flowers.
"Good time." The barefooted man laughed loudly and changed his posture from sitting cross-legged to standing up. What fell by his feet was Rong Qing's wooden sword. She was able to land here so precisely because of her mental connection with Feijian.
This is why the barefoot man praised this flying sword as extraordinary. Since he had confiscated the flying sword, while its owner was still alive, he must have used talismans and other objects to isolate the connection between the owner and the flying sword.
However, when he banned this sword, it was clear that the flying sword, which did not have the intelligence to be considered as a first-class weapon, created extremely strong resistance out of thin air. This sword was special. It was made of wood. His eyes couldn't tell what kind of wood it was. He was mentally prepared for Rong Qing to be able to sense his location. At this time, facing the attack triggered by Rong Qing, his face was not showy, but his eyes were rare and solemn.
As soon as the butterfly transformed by the restriction appears, it becomes majestic and powerful. Even the restless breath of death fell silent for a moment. How dare he underestimate such momentum.
Rong Qing froze. Not that she wanted to stop. With the tenacity of the robe clone, she could use the strength brought by the high speed to kill this person with her sword.
Such a forced stop caused the spiritual energy that was constantly circulating inside the robe to become slightly chaotic.
However, the barefoot man's methods are not over yet. It was clear that he was not a complete body of flesh and blood, but Rong Qing still felt a chill in his heart...
"This method seems familiar."
Of course it's familiar. In the Reflection Talisman, Yun Tong blocked the black spear, and was finally forced to use his life-saving trump card through this strange method. This caused the "Hades" lineage to covet the White Stone Temple. Even harming the country...
Yun Tong once felt the feeling of fading away and falling into the silence of the netherworld. Now Rong Qing really feels it. Even her spiritual consciousness and even her thinking are slowly slowing down...
Rong Qing couldn't see her own changes, but in the eyes of others, it was very obvious. The originally radiant female cultivator had an obvious look of tiredness on her face. The fair and smooth skin turned faintly pale. The already light lip color makes her look even more sickly.
She seemed to be starting to fade.
Seeing Rong Qing's change, the barefoot man felt a little calmer and concentrated on dealing with the butterflies slowly flapping his wings in front of him. The butterfly transformed by this restriction is extremely agile, and because it is a completed forbidden work, even if the owner is injured, it will not be affected.
With a gentle flap of his wings, the distance between him and the barefooted man was easily bridged.
With this leap, it flew into a giant mouth.
It was a ghostly face that suddenly appeared. The same description as the mask worn by the barefoot man. This technique had been used by Zhong Qiu before, but now that he was using it with the cultivation level of a barefooted man, it was even more unfathomable.
At that time, Ling Fu's two extremely powerful attack spells melted into the shadow like a mud cow entering the sea. Now, this ghost-faced shadow can easily swallow this petite butterfly...
Before the barefoot man could show his joy, something unexpected happened again!
A ray of snow-white sword light seemed to tear open the space, penetrated the shadow, grabbed the golden butterfly that had just passed through the ghost-faced shadow, and stabbed the barefoot man in front of the door.
His pupils suddenly opened wide, filled with fear, and his face suddenly became lighter...
Rong Qing's voice came to his ears, cold and suppressed with anger: "I actually figured it out now. The source of this anger is the lives of the mortals in the three northern states of Jing Kingdom." Or, it's not just Jing Kingdom.
There are always cities and villages like Jing Country without the protection of great monks. The mortals there have the same fate as rut dogs.
"There is no demonic cultivation in the world of cultivation, and there is no demonic cultivation technique. You rely on death energy to break through. Where did this technique come from?" Rong Qing was shocked and angry, and pictures kept flashing through her mind. Since the incident in the three northern states, everything that has happened seems to be connected in a straight line.
Baishi Temple was just their incidental purpose. Everything they do in the "Underworld" lineage is to collect enough death energy for their cultivation. Originally, she was surprised that although Rong Qing only had a rough look at the inheritance in the Book of All Things and did not really learn it, it was completely different from the techniques performed by the Barefoot Man and his group. Now it seems that they have another inheritance, the inheritance in the Book of All Things, because of its complicated restrictions, they have not been able to decipher and learn it at all.
All this makes sense why the Book of All Things was casually handed over to Cheng Ke and even Rong Qing, who was still a mortal at the time. They knew that this thing was special, but because they didn't understand the restrictions and how subtle and powerful the restrictions were, they naturally didn't expect that what was hidden was actually an inheritance.
The Barefoot Man and his group are almost all at the Golden Elixir level, which proves that they have a constant supply of death energy for their practice. It seems that Wuwu Mountain is where they are based.
The barefoot man's mouth was full of blood foam, and he was gasping for air. The evil ghost mask that had been covering his face was completely pierced by the icy sword intent. But he's not dead yet.
He was already a disheveled person, but now his hair was even more messy. He was knocked back by a sword, and when he raised his face, it was still a ghost face. The mask was snow-white, and there were not that many patterns. The position of the eyes was completely missing, and the mouth only exposed the original lips and teeth of the barefoot man without covering them up.
This revealed ghost face fit perfectly on the face of the barefoot man, replacing his original facial skin.
"If the mask is not broken, you will not die?" Rong Qing finally experienced all the weirdness of the so-called "Hades" lineage. She had no intention of stopping and waiting for the other party to answer, so she held the sword tightly with her bare hand. The attack is coming again!
