Chapter 1972: Intrigue
Demon Lord Qingyun spoke calmly, but Wu Changqing's expression changed uncertainly.
The Queen Mother of the West is the master of the Immortal Court. When she suppressed the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent, the Eight Great Asia Saints were just her slaves. This kind of awe and fear coming from the depths of her bloodline made Wu Changqing hesitate.
Although he knew that Queen Mother Xi had been dead for many years, he still did not dare to act rashly.
After being in a stalemate like this for a moment, Wu Changqing suddenly took a deep breath and slowly took the first step towards the jade coffin not far away.
Obviously, the desire for freedom and the yearning for the path to immortality suppressed the fear deep in his heart.
As long as the bloodline restriction is not broken, he will never be able to leave the Black Mountain Territory, nor will he be able to break through and become a sub-sage. The end of this road to immortality can be seen at a glance!
"Don't blame me for being treasonous. If you want to blame me, you can only blame those people who were too stupid back then. Not only were they willing to become tombkeepers, but they also trapped all future generations here!"
Wu Changqing The corners of his eyes twitched sharply, but there was a firm look in his eyes.
After a while, he came to the jade coffin.
Looking down, I saw the female corpse lying in the coffin. Although her eyes were closed, she still had a fierce aura that made people dare not look directly at her.
Wu Changqing took a deep breath, not daring to look at Queen Mother Xi's face, but instead focused on her belly.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, our witch clan was also your subordinate back then. We worked hard even without merit. For the sake of guarding your tomb for so many years, I gave you a ray of holy energy. Let me leave this place."
Praying silently in his heart, Wu Changqing stretched out his right hand, poured spiritual power into his fingertips, then pointed forward and slowly approached the abdomen of Queen Mother Xi.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A black energy suddenly emerged from the jade coffin of the Queen Mother of the West. This black energy was like a poisonous snake, wrapping around Wu Changqing's fingertips, and then penetrated into his body and spread towards his heart.
“Ah!”
Wu Changqing was caught off guard, let out a sharp scream, and took a dozen steps back.
His face was as pale as paper, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Demon Lord Qingyun, you!"
"Hahaha!"
Qingyun Demon Lord laughed loudly, and without saying anything, he leaped high into the air, his body like a wild goose flying in the sky.
Huhu slapped Wu Changqing and Kuzhu with two palms.
I saw that the surrounding space was distorted and turned into a cage, locking the two bodies in place. Immediately afterwards, the power of the four laws of gold, fire, earth, and wood appeared at the same time, evolving into more than a dozen Use magical power to attack the two of them!
At this time, Kuzhu also knew that he had been deceived.
He shouted angrily and wanted to retreat, but the space around him was locked by Demon Lord Qingyun using space laws, and his body could not move at all.
At the critical moment, Kuzhu suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a glazed pagoda. Then he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the pagoda.
The pagoda instantly enlarged, emitting rays of rays of light, turning in place, and actually sucked in the power of the four laws of Qingyun Demon Lord into it, and at the same time broke the space blockade!
Just hearing a muffled sound of "Bang!", ripples appeared in the surrounding space, and there was a gap in the power of imprisonment.
Wu Changqing and Kuzhu both gained their freedom and hurriedly retreated, putting some distance between themselves and Demon Lord Qingyun.
"Demon Soul Tower?"
Qingyun Demon Lord missed the target and did not pursue the victory again. Instead, he stood there with his hands behind his back and looked at the glazed pagoda suspended in mid-air with great interest.
"Interesting. Kuzhu, Kuzhu, it seems that you are also on guard. You have such a magic weapon but never revealed it. You want me to find the 'Ten Thousand Demon Banners' to restrain the Soul Locking Stone. I have to say You are smarter than I thought!"
"Huh, how can you not be careful about seeking skin from a tiger? Although I knew you were greedy, I didn't expect you to really kill the donkey!" Kuzhu said angrily.
“He has never thought about letting us leave here!”
Wu Changqing took a deep breath and used magic to suppress the injuries in his body. At the same time, he waved his sleeves and sacrificed the "Tian Wu Bell".
“Now you know why he was uncharacteristically the first one to rush into the tomb, right? As early as the moment he opened the jade coffin, he had tampered with it. It’s ridiculous that as a descendant of the Immortal Court, I have a deep hatred for the Queen Mother of the West. He was so frightened by her body that he didn’t find anything fishy in the jade coffin!”
After hearing Wu Changqing’s words, Kuzhu was even more furious.
"Okay, Demon Lord Qingyun, have you been plotting against us since you entered this tomb? It seems that you have no intention of letting us leave at all. The method of collecting the 'Spirit Locking Stone' you just mentioned It’s also fake, right?”
“Haha.”
Demon Lord Qingyun smiled slightly, his murderous intent undisguised.
By this time, it was already a battle between the two sides, and both sides were at loggerheads. There was no need to be hypocritical and polite anymore.
“You two don’t care about life and death, but you dare to bargain with me? That’s all, I’ll give you a ride. It’s an honor for you to be buried in the tomb of the former Lord of the Immortal Court!”
Before he finished speaking, Demon Lord Qingyun took action again.
A pure Gengjin energy evolved into thirty-six fairy swords, forming a circular sword array, surrounding Wu Changqing and Kuzhu in the middle.
At the same time, a small mountain peak appeared above the head. It was only the size of a water tank, but it gathered the power of the strong back soil. The sense of oppression was no less than that of the tens of thousands of mountains outside!
"Suppress it for me!"
Qingyun Demon Lord pointed his hand, and the small mountain peak fell from the sky. The terrifying weight crushed the space, and also pressed the bodies of Wu Changqing and Kuzhu into rickets. .
“This guy’s power of law is ten times stronger than ours, we can’t let him cast spells calmly!”
Kuzhu shouted, withstood the huge pressure, turned around on the spot, and transformed into It is a green bamboo about seven feet long.
He is a demon who was cultivated from a thousand-year-old green bamboo. He has a magical power called "Bamboo Escape", which can travel through the void in short distances without leaving a trace. He often uses this to escape from various spells, and he has always tried it.
Sure enough, after the prototype appeared, the extremely heavy power of the back soil could not suppress him. He only heard a "whoosh!" sound and cut through the void, and no trace of him could be found in a short period of time. .
Although Qingyun Demon Lord behaves arrogantly, he is an extremely cautious person at heart.
Seeing Ku Zhu disappear, his first reaction was not that the other party wanted to escape, but that he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on him! Then his pupils shrank, his body quickly retreated, and his hands continued to make seals.
A stream of water appeared out of thin air, forming a water ring and trapping him in the middle.
This is the technique of "Water Mirror". As long as someone comes close, they will be affected by the law of water, and their body shape will appear.
Sure enough, a sharp object broke through the air and was illuminated by the "Water Mirror". It was the seven-foot-long green bamboo. It shot straight to the face of Demon Lord Qingyun like lightning. .
Although Demon Lord Qingyun had many means, he did not dare to confront the object when he saw it approaching him. He turned on the spot and his figure rippled like water waves before disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Bang!
Only a muffled sound was heard, but it was the green bamboo pole that shattered the afterimage of Qingyun Demon Lord, and the surrounding space was penetrated. "What a bamboo demon, you really can't underestimate him!"
Qingyun Demon Lord appeared a hundred feet away. Looking at the space that had just been shattered, he sighed in his heart.
This thousand-year-old bamboo is smelly and hard. It is comparable to a top-notch magic weapon. If you get close to him, you will be beaten severely!
"Qingyun, I want you to die!"
Kuzhu is impatient and misses a single blow before attacking again.
He knew that Demon Lord Qingyun possesses the power of many laws. If they fight normally, the combined power of the two might not be his opponent. He must fight fast and disrupt the person's spellcasting rhythm to have any chance of defeating this person.
Then, the seven-foot green bamboo shot through the air again, shooting like lightning, this time it hit the Qingyun Demon Lord's lower abdomen.
"Hmph! Will I still be approached by you?"
Demon Lord Qingyun sneered, waved his sleeves, and hundreds of ivy vines flew out from the sleeves, hitting the speeding intruders. The green bamboo entangled him, and he pulled away.
But he had just exited Baizhang when he heard a crisp ringing behind him.
The body suddenly became a little stiff, and the limbs began to become numb and inoperable.
"Wu Changqing, you!"
Qingyun Demon Lord seemed to have thought of something, his face changed drastically, his body stood still, and his head turned around with some difficulty, looking at Wu Changqing behind him .
I saw the leader of the Wu Clan shaking the golden bell in his hand and chanting a spell.
After a while, he seemed to have finished casting the spell, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Demon Lord Qingyun, didn't you expect that? You thought you had plotted against me, but in fact I took action earlier than you."
"Impossible!"
Demon Lord Qingyun's eyes were full of tears. With a look of disbelief, he shouted loudly: "I know the secret skills of your witch clan very well. You must obtain my blood essence in advance before you can use them. In all these years, I have been dealing with you carefully and have not let you take advantage of me." Here you can get any spells that can be cast "How did you do it?"
"Haha."
Wu Changqing laughed and said lightly: "Demon Lord Qingyun, I don't know why you treat our eight major gods, Especially witches The clan knows it so well, but I have seen your behavior over the years, and I have to guard against it! This secret technique is not an ancient technique of the witch clan, but was created by me. You have forgotten how you became the 'Witch God' that day. ”
"That's that time!"
Qingyun Demon Lord suddenly woke up.
He and Wu Changqing teamed up to play this big game, counting the eight major divine clans and even the monks of the Wu clan themselves. The first step was to gain the unconditional trust of everyone in the Wu clan.
So, Wu Changqing did something in the cave of the ancestral hall, so that the spirit of Demon Lord Qingyun could possess the statue of the "Witch God", and then he was successfully "resurrected" in the Wu clan ceremony and became the leader of all clan members. leader, who will then initiate the prophecy and lead everyone out of the Black Mountain Territory.
All of this seemed to be the plan of two people, but what Demon Lord Qingyun didn’t expect was that Wu Changqing had tampered with that statue!
The moment his soul possessed the statue, a trace of his soul had been obtained by the other party, and this trace of soul became Wu Changqing's means to counter him, and at this time he launched...
"I The secret technique created does not require essence and blood, but it must have a trace of soul imprint, you didn’t expect it?”
Wu Changqing’s face was cold, looking at Demon Lord Qingyun as if he were looking at a dead person.
Controlled by his secret technique, I cannot control my body at all and can only be slaughtered by others.
“You can be considered a hero of the generation. You don’t have to die at the hands of others, so you should kill yourself.”
As Wu Changqing spoke, he gently shook the "Tian Wu Bell" in his hand, and Demon Lord Qingyun raised his right hand uncontrollably. The huge spiritual power condensed in his palm and was aimed at his eyebrows.
This is obviously a suicide attempt!
The Wu Clan’s secret technique is weird. Once certain conditions are met, the opponent’s body can be controlled. It was because of this that Tang Qianzhi was controlled and led tens of thousands of Nanxuan monks to their end.
< br>Now, the same thing is going to happen to Demon Lord Qingyun.
His palm moved closer to his eyebrows, which was now less than three inches.
Demon Lord Qingyun's face turned red, and he suddenly shouted loudly, and all his clothes exploded!
"Just the two of you, you want me to commit suicide?"
The tyrannical power swept out of his body, and ten rays of light, representing the power of the ten laws, surrounded Beside Demon Lord Qingyun.
At the same time, his body shape changed rapidly and turned into a huge ferocious beast!
This ferocious beast has the body of a goat and a human face. It has two faint blue eyes on its slender neck, and a large bloody mouth on its abdomen. Its teeth are as sharp as blades. When it opens its mouth, it makes a sound like a baby crying. .
Eee!
Weird sounds echoed back and forth in the tomb chamber, echoing endlessly.
This was not the first time that the two of them saw his Taotie true form. They had discovered it before in Wusheng Valley, but they did not expect it to be so powerful, so they were caught off guard.
At this moment, Wu Changqing and Ku Zhu both experienced a brief trance in their consciousness.
Qingyun Demon Lord took this opportunity to regain part of his freedom and condensed the power of the ten laws into a ten-color ring, trapping the other two people in it.
"Quick! Ring the Heavenly Witch Bell!"
Kuzhu's loud shout made Wu Changqing wake up instantly and hurriedly activated the Heavenly Witch Bell to suppress the actions of Demon Lord Qingyun.
As for Kuzhu himself, he also appeared behind Demon Lord Qingyun, sacrificed the "Demon Soul Tower" again, and suppressed his body severely.
The two of them worked together to cast a spell, which was very powerful. However, at this time, Demon Lord Qingyun had already revealed his true body, Taotie. With the blessing of the power of the ten laws, his physical body was indestructible and could not be broken in a short time. of.
There was a stalemate in the tomb.
Wu Changqing and Kuzhu teamed up to suppress Demon Lord Qingyun. On the surface, they had the upper hand, but they were unable to kill their opponents. Instead, Demon Lord Qingyun gradually stabilized his position and used the power of the law to condense the ten-color circle, slowly killing the two of them. of mana.
What was originally a treacherous and dangerous battle turned into a competition of endurance.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin were outside the tomb the whole time, watching everything that happened just now. .
“I really didn’t expect that these three people must have eight hundred tricks in total, right?” Wu Xin said secretly.
“You can’t say that, Kuzhu is quite honest.” Liang Yan commented very pertinently.
I wanted to laugh unintentionally, but I still held it back.
"Indeed, in the end he was still thinking about whether Demon Lord Qingyun really had a way to collect the 'Spirit Locking Stone'."
"It's understandable, the thief doesn't get away with it." Liang Yan said lightly.
"Now that this battle has reached a stalemate, should we take action?" Wuxin asked via voice transmission.
Liang Yan did not answer immediately. He kept looking around the tomb
