Chapter 1422 The Source of the Soul River
After escaping from Liang Yan's sword net, the strange insect was suspended in the air, its wings vibrating slightly, and it did not attack immediately, but seemed to be sending a warning to the two of them.
“It’s threatening us, let’s not go deeper!” Wuxin understood the meaning of the strange insect.
“You can’t help it!”
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and instead of retreating, he took a step forward.
To him, although the monster bugs were a little weird, they were not a threat.
Although the opponent escaped from his sword net just now, Liang Yan also saw its movements clearly, and it was impossible to repeat the same trick in front of him.
Seeing that Liang Yan had no intention of retreating, the strange insect seemed to be irritated. The wings on its back vibrated slightly and disappeared from the place without any warning.
Wuxin's consciousness has been locked on the strange insect, but at this moment he still lost its breath. Seeing the strange insect disappear, her expression also changed.
“Watch out!”
Fearing a sneak attack by strange insects, Wu Xin quickly made a magic spell. The evil energy spread out and turned into a thick barrier, shrouding Liang Yan and himself inside at the same time.
However, before her demonic energy barrier was fully formed, Liang Yan had already jumped out.
“Here!”
With a low shout, Liang Yan thrust out his sword in mid-air.
The Black Lotus Sword was unsheathed and turned into a seven-foot-long inch of light. Wherever the sword pointed, there was a trace of transparent ripples.
The next moment, a scream was heard.
"Squeak!"
The screams were harsh and unpleasant, as if someone was tearing at his heart with sharp claws. Wuxin frowned when he heard it, and secretly used Tianmo Mountain's concentration technique. Only then did he stabilize his mind.
Looking up, I saw the figure of the strange insect reappearing in mid-air.
However, its abdomen had been struck by Liang Yan's sword light, and its hundreds of abdominal legs were twisting and turning, looking very painful.
"It's hurt!"
Wuxin's face was excited, and he immediately pinched a magic formula in his hand, activated the "Purple Flower Demon Sutra", and the demonic energy condensed into a huge palm in mid-air, aiming towards the person stabbed by the sword light. Kill the strange insects in them.
The demonic energy roared in, and the purple palm print instantly fell on the head of the strange insect.
At this moment, the strange insect suddenly raised its head, and the crack at its front opened, revealing two rows of fangs and a bottomless black hole.
A powerful suction force came out of the black hole, causing Wu Xin's purple palm print to collapse in mid-air, return to its original demonic energy, and then be swallowed by the strange insect.
"How is that possible?" Wuxin saw this scene from a distance, and his expression changed slightly.
Her "Purple Flower Demonic Sutra" is the secret technique of Tianmo Mountain. The demonic energy gathers and disperses from the heart, transforming into whatever you want, but when it comes to this strange insect, it is easily broken!
Wuxin looked ugly, and Liang Yan also frowned.
Because he discovered that although his sword light penetrated into the body of the strange insect, it only damaged its surface and did not damage its foundation.
At the same time, the strange insect's mouth opened, like a bottomless abyss. After absorbing Wu Xin's demonic energy, it actually began to absorb the sword energy from Liang Yan's sword light.
"This thing has such a big appetite!"
Liang Yan sneered, and the black lotus sword quickly spun on the spot. Countless black sword lotuses bloomed on the strange insect's body, like a lotus of death, killing it. Huge wounds were torn open in his flesh body.
The strange insect was in pain, and the screams sounded again like a magic sound.
It opened its mouth to swallow the sword energy around it and retreated backwards. It seemed as if it knew how powerful Liang Yan was and didn't dare to confront him head-on.
However, just as the strange insect retreated, a purple thunder sword light flew back from behind. The speed was incredibly fast. When it was defenseless, a sword pierced its head.
As soon as the sword entered, the monster's brain burst open and spurted out a black liquid.
Liang Yan didn't give it a chance to breathe. He pinched the magic formula in his hand and used the purple thunder and black lotus swords. Work hard at the same time.
The two colors of sword light each surged, forming a tornado of sword energy on the spot. In just a few breaths, the body of the strange insect was shattered into pieces.
After the strange insect died, the black liquid in its body fell from the air, fell to the ground, and gradually penetrated into the soil. Everything disappeared, and it looked as if it had never appeared.
Liang Yan raised his hand to collect the two sword pills and looked at the place where the strange insect died, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"The magical power of this strange insect is a bit weird. It can actually swallow other people's magical powers without being damaged at all. Not only your demon palm print, but even my sword energy is no exception!"
While speaking, , Liang Yan turned around, only to see Wu Xin standing there, his face blank, and his eyes full of confusion.
"What's wrong?" Liang Yan walked to Wu Xin and asked softly.
Wuxin was awakened by his voice and suddenly came back to his senses.
There was an incredible expression on her face. She considered it for a while and said slowly: "Just now, when the strange insect was completely killed by you, a trace of the original energy leaked out. If I If the induction is correct, it should be the Qi of the True Demon, and it has the same origin as me, and it is most likely from our Yu Clan!”
After hearing Wu Xin's answer, Liang Yan also looked a little surprised.
"You mean there are real demons in the Thousand Ji Demon Tower, and they are from the Yu tribe?" When Liang Yan said this, he felt a little incredible, shook his head and said: "Impossible, Tianji Ge is an ancient sect, and it is also an orthodox Confucian sect. How could they bring the devil here?"
< br>"I thought so before." Wu Xin frowned and said: "But the closer I get to the source of the Soul River, the more familiar I feel. I am almost certain that the original energy leaked by the strange insect just now died. , must come from our Yu clan!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan had a look of deep thought on his face.
He knew that Wu Xin was not a rash person. Since she said so, "Hui Yueshui" must be related to the demons.
The Thousand Machines Demonic Tower has been wandering in the void for so many years. Could it be that there are really demons infiltrating here?
But if that's the case, why didn't the devil steal the treasures here and still spread the "painted moon water" here?
At this moment, Liang Yan thought of many possibilities, but none of them could perfectly explain the current situation.
While he was thinking secretly, Wuxin suddenly said with a serious face:
"Liang Yan, I want to go to the source of the Soul River to take a look, not just to find the people who left here. Method, I also want to see what is the source of these 'Moon Painting Water' and the True Demonic Qi."
Seeing Wu Xin's extremely serious look, Liang Yan didn't say anything more, just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Let's go."
Wuxin Yanran With a smile, he walked side by side with Liang Yan and set off again along the Soul River. This time, the two of them did not fly in the air.
Because the closer you get to the source of the Soul River, the more obvious the whispers around you are. You need to use the technique of concentration and calmness to fight against this weird whisper. If you walk too fast If so, it's easy to fall into madness.
In this way, the two of them headed upstream along the Soul River. They walked for about seven or eight hours and encountered various strange insects on the way.
One of them even faced seven evolved creatures at the same time. These strange insects have the terrifying ability to devour them, and they are extremely fast and difficult to guard against.
If Liang Yan hadn't already broken through to the Tribulation Realm, it would have been really difficult for him to deal with it with his previous strength.
After going through thorns and thorns all the way, after killing dozens of strange insects, the whispers surrounding Liang Yan and Wu Xin's ears finally disappeared.
In its place, there were pieces of purple magic clouds floating in the surrounding space, making the originally bright Tianshu area a little dim.
Sensing the changes in the surrounding environment, Liang Yan and Wu Xin both understood that they were almost reaching the source, which also meant that they were close to the truth about "Moon Painting Water".
“Keep your mind and remember not to relax at all!”
While Liang Yan reminded Wu Xin, he pinched a spell with his right hand, and a layer of golden light came out from behind him, transforming into It was a layer of golden light that enveloped the two of them at the same time.
"The smell of blood is very strong, and there is also the aura of the real devil, which is exactly the same as what I sensed before." Wu Xin said with a solemn expression.
Liang Yan nodded. He had practiced the "Eight Parts of Evolution" and his power of perception far exceeded that of his fellow monks. He had smelled the smell of blood before.
And he can be sure that this bloody aura does not come from the human monks, but from the demons.
“Let’s go.”
After Liang Yan protected Wu Xin with golden light, he did not stop and continued to move forward with Wu Xin.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, a loud noise suddenly came from ahead.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked up at the same time, and saw a red stream of light appearing in the high sky in the distance. Wherever the stream of light passed, it tore the void apart, and the demonic energy was scattered, like brilliant fireworks. Brilliant and eye-catching.
"What a powerful force!"
Liang Yan's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this scene.
“There is indeed an extremely powerful existence deep in the Soul River, but this power does not come from the demon race, nor does it look like the human race, but rather the power contained in the puppet.”
“ The guard on the fifth floor!”
The two of them thought of this puppet that should have appeared a long time ago.
As a guard on this level, it stands to reason that he should guard the treasure house in Tianshu District, but Tianshu District has been searched through, but his presence was not found. Instead, he was found in the upper reaches of the Soul River. traces.
"Go over and have a look."
Liang Yan carefully hid his breath and pulled Wu Xin forward cautiously.
Not long after, they saw a scene that shocked them extremely.
On the shore of the Soul River, I saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Densely packed corpses of strange insects have piled up like a hill on the shore, with strange black water flowing around them. They seem to be restricted by some kind of force, unable to spread out or penetrate into the ground.
And on the top of the corpse mountain, stood a tall figure.
A monster with a lion's head and body!
This monster is tall and majestic, wearing a set of fiery red armor. It is three times as tall as an ordinary person. It holds a red sword in each hand, like a brave and fearless general.
However, his arms, legs, abdomen, back, and even the back of his head have been eaten away by strange insects!
The most ruthless one had already penetrated half of the lion general's head and was still twisting, as if desperately trying to control him.
The lion general's expression alternated between crazy and sober. He didn't know what kind of pain he was going through, and what kind of perseverance he was using to resist the strange insects and maintain his remaining sanity.
Dense black monsters continued to emerge from the bottom of the Soul River and swarmed towards General Lion.
But he never took a step back.
This lion general actually used his own power to resist the endless tide of black insects!
Every time he waved the red sword in his hand, a brilliant stream of light streaked across the sky. The fierce and domineering power shattered all the approaching monster insects, and the gorgeous stream of light rushed forward and gathered at the mouth of a valley.
Liang Yanhe Wuxin raised his eyes and found that the source of the Soul River was this valley!
At the top of the valley, there stand two tall statues. One of them is a young and handsome scholar, and the other is a gray-haired old Confucian.
Although it was just a statue, Liang Yan still felt a strong sense of oppression. The moment his eyes came to it, he was a little out of breath.
“Two Saints of Tianji Pavilion!”
There is no doubt that the two statues standing above the valley must be the two saints from the legendary Tianji Pavilion!
However, what really shocked Liang Yanhe Wuxin was not the two saint statues, but a giant black insect that was over a hundred feet long at the entrance of the valley!
This giant insect is like an earthworm, with a pair of huge wings on its back, and no eyes, ears or nose. The reason is that there is only a crack in the head, and in the crack is a bottomless black hole.
Unlike the previous strange insects, Liang Yan just glanced into the black hole and felt a palpitation in his heart.
He has no doubt that whether it is his own sword energy or the unintentional true demon energy, as long as it reaches the edge of this black hole, it will be mercilessly swallowed, and there is no possibility of escape!
However, now this terrifying black monster seems unable to move.
Because its body is wrapped with countless slender golden threads, these golden threads form a giant net, locking the black monster firmly at the entrance of the valley.
The strange insect struggled desperately to break free from the shackles of the giant net. Some of the golden wires had broken. It was not known how long the giant net could last.
Boom!
The red light emitted by the Lion General finally fell on the black giant insect.
The powerful force tore the body of the strange insect. Although it caused a lot of injuries, a golden liquid would soon flow out of the strange insect's body, repairing these injuries in a very short time.
Seeing this, Liang Yan already understood that the reason why the gatekeeper on this level was not in Tianshu District was because he wanted to stop this huge strange insect from breaking through the seal.
Since he had fought against those miniature versions of strange insects before, Liang Yan knew their strength very well.
Now this lion general has not only blocked the tide of insects by himself, but is also constantly attacking the strange insects at the entrance of the valley, which shows how powerful he is.
As for those weird "Moon Painting Water", Liang Yan now also figured out the source.
The Soul River water flowing out of the valley is not polluted, and when the water flows past the giant insect, part of it turns black
