Chapter 2248 Breaking the Formation
It was dark inside the Divine Coffin Palace, and the divine consciousness could not spread. Only a distance of about ten feet nearby could be seen.
The oil lamp in the distance loomed in the darkness, not lighting the way for everyone, but like a pair of strange eyes, secretly monitoring everyone's every move.
Zhuge Wulie led the two men forward slowly, always keeping vigilance.
Just when they reached the center of the hall, the oil lamps around them suddenly trembled and all went out in an instant!
At the same time, the dark wind roared in the hall, coming from all directions, like invisible sharp blades trying to cut the bodies of the three people.
"Everyone, be careful."
Zhuge Wulie's voice was very calm. He squeezed the sword secret in his hand, and the "Shenwu Sword" vibrated lightly in mid-air, instantly arousing a powerful sword wind.
This sword wind swept in all directions, and actually swept back all the roaring winds.
This hand is simple and unpretentious, but the swordsmanship revealed is extremely strong! Even Lu Xuanji couldn't help but praise in his heart after seeing it.
However, although the evil wind has receded, the danger has not been eliminated.
In the darkness, there was a rustling sound.
Everyone concentrated for a moment and soon discovered that the source of the sound was under the stone bricks of the palace.
Suddenly, dozens of black shadows emerged from under the stone bricks. They were extremely fast and twisted, as if they were chains, trying to lock the three people in the hall.
The three of them did not hesitate, and almost simultaneously drew out their swords, slashing at the black figures.
However, something weird happened!
These black shadows were not afraid of their sword energy at all. They were like the breeze passing around the edge of the sword light without any damage on their bodies.
"Use real fire!"
Zhuge Wulie seemed to have thought of something, roared, and immediately displayed the Confucian True Fire.
After Su Xiaodie and Lu Xuanji heard this, without any hesitation, they each activated their magic power to form a ring of fire around them.
Sure enough, those black shadows were afraid of flames. The moment everyone lit up the flames, they stopped moving forward and quickly retreated backwards.
By the light of the fire, Lu Xuanji finally saw the appearance of these black figures.
They are actually snake people!
Their bodies were several feet long, their faces were ferocious, and their abdomens had a bloody mouth. They were all salivating at this moment, and they looked very oozing.
"What is this?" Lu Xuanji frowned slightly.
"This is the 'Snake Xu', who specializes in guarding the God's Coffin Palace. Unlike other Tianxu, they will not take the initiative to attack living beings unless you forcefully break into the territory they protect."
Zhuge Wulie had participated in many virtual realm discussions and had rich experience, so he recognized the origins of these snake people at a glance.
After hearing this, Lu Xuanji whispered: "They are all afraid of flames, but unfortunately none of us are masters of the Fire Spirit Law. This level of real fire can only drive them away..."
"Not bad."
Zhuge Wulie nodded with a serious face: "Be careful, these snakes are extremely powerful, and they are sworn to protect the God's Coffin Palace. They will never give up until the intruders are killed. They will definitely come back."
Just as the three of them were communicating secretly, those Shexu could no longer hold back.
They discovered that the flames in the hall were far less powerful than they imagined, so they overcame their instinctive fear and approached Lu Xuanji and others again.
"Shexu's body fluids have extremely strong corrosive power. Even magic flying swords can be corroded. Don't let them touch the natal flying swords, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Zhuge Wulie reminded.
"I understand."
Lu Xuanji and Su Xiaodie both nodded slightly.
The next moment, the two of them each made secrets and displayed their own sword skills.
Lu Xuanji took the natal sword pill into his body and turned to use the secret technique of sword pointing. The sword light burst out from his fingertips, and the destructive power was extremely powerful.
Su Xiaodie turned the sword energy into countless colorful butterflies, flying in the hall, leaving traces in the void wherever they passed, constantly harassing the nearby snakes.
Although the snakes are weird, the magical powers of these two people are just enough to restrain them. After the two sides fought for just a moment, these snakes were suppressed. Even with the powerful Tianxu evil energy, they could not break through the aperture of the swords of the three.
"Keep your formation, there will be more than one layer of defense in this hall, be careful of any mistakes."
Zhuge Wulie reminded the other two people while fighting.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Lu Xuanji was on guard in his heart. His consciousness was always observing his surroundings, and he would be alert if there was even the slightest movement.
The two sides fought fiercely for about a quarter of an hour, and one of them, Shexu, suddenly screamed, but was pierced through the chest by Lu Xuanji's Dragon Elephant Sword.
The snake fell to the ground in response, and its body turned into black water, gradually blending into the shadows of the hall.
"Something's wrong..." Lu Xuanji noticed something strange.
Although his strength is not the best, his spiritual consciousness is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At this time, I scanned with my spiritual consciousness and immediately discovered the changes in the hall.
It was seen that the black water after Shexu's death did not dissipate, but was divided into six parts and entered the six surrounding stone pillars respectively.
Immediately afterwards, these six stone pillars sank into the ground at the same time.
In the darkness, there seems to be a huge roulette wheel spinning slowly...
"Careful!"
Lu Xuanji's pupils shrank suddenly, he used "Dragon Elephant Sword Finger" to push back the four surrounding snakes, and then rushed to Su Xiaodie's side as quickly as possible.
Su Xiaodie was fighting with three snakes when she suddenly heard Lu Xuanji's reminder and immediately stepped back without thinking, trying to distance herself from these snakes.
However, the moment she started to move, a strange rune suddenly appeared in the void above her head!
As the runes flickered, a green light shot out from it, sealing her body in place like a narrow cage.
brush!
When Lu Xuanji saw this, he immediately pointed out the strange rune on Su Xiaodie's head with his sharp sword energy.
But it was as if the rune didn't exist. Even if his sword energy penetrated it, it was not even damaged at all.
"How could this happen..." Lu Xuanji's eyes showed surprise.
But as soon as he thought about it, he quickly understood.
The entire hall is actually a huge magic circle. Stone pillars, oil lamps, snakes, runes... are all part of this magic circle.
These things do not exist alone, but are intertwined. For example, the Snake Xu who was killed just now did not disappear, but appeared in another form in the magic circle, which is the strange rune that now traps Su Xiaodie!
Lu Xuanji figured this out and was no longer obsessed with destroying the runes.
He stood in front of Su Xiaodie and used the "Desolation Sword Finger". The sharp sword energy spread to all directions and quickly repelled the swarming snakes.
"This palace is a magic circle. Killing Shexu has no effect. The important thing is to destroy the core of the magic circle!" Lu Xuanji told Zhuge Wulie his guess.
After Zhuge Wulie heard this, he only thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Friend Lu's guess is very reasonable. Xiaodie, can you still use the secret sword technique under the rune restriction?"
"I'll give it a try."
After Su Xiaodie finished speaking, she closed her eyes slightly and pinched the sword in her hand.
Balls of firefly-like light emanated from her body, unexpectedly unaffected by the rune restrictions, breaking out of the cage and spreading in all directions.
Soon, these sword lights merged into the darkness, disappearing like fireflies at night...
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuanji did not bother Su Xiaodie, but stayed by her side and used the secret sword-pointing technique without reservation.
These Shexu are responsible for guarding the temple, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary Tianxu. With the blessing of the magic circle, they can almost match the monks of the enemy who have overcome eight difficulties.

In order to prevent Su Xiaodie from being injured, Lu Xuanji blocked eight Tianxu with one person's power, which can be said to be extremely brave!
As for Su Xiaodie, she completely trusted Lu Xuanji and didn't care about the ferocious-looking snakes around her. Instead, she concentrated on casting spells.
After persisting like this for about a quarter of an hour, Su Xiaodie suddenly opened her eyes and shouted:
"Found it!"
Her left and right hands pointed in one direction respectively: "There are two cores of the magic circle, one on the wall in the northwest, and one in the ground in the southwest."
Following her finger, two fireflies lit up in the darkness.
That was her Butterfly Sword Qi, which emitted a faint light in the darkness, but it only lasted for a moment and was soon swallowed up by the surrounding fog.
Fortunately, this time is enough.
The light just now marked Zhuge Wulie's position!
He glanced at Lu Xuanji and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I will break the formation, and Xiaodie will leave it to you."
"Don't worry." Lu Xuanji smiled slightly.
Without any further hesitation, Zhuge Wulie used his "Nine Heavens Wings", flashed his figure, and galloped away in the direction Su Xiaodie pointed just now.
As soon as he left, the seven snakes he originally fought with lost their opponents and immediately turned around and rushed towards Lu Xuanji and Su Xiaodie.
Su Xiaodie was trapped in the rune restriction and had no way to help.
In other words, all the pressure from these fifteen snakes fell on Lu Xuanji alone!
roar!
A series of roars sounded in the darkness, and those Shexu seemed to be furious, launching a fierce attack on Lu Xuanji.
Lu Xuanji looked solemn, but refused to retreat an inch.
He used the "Desolation Sword Finger", "Prison Dao Sword Finger", "Dragon Elephant Sword Finger"... and other sword finger secret techniques to the extreme. His slender fingers kept thrusting out, and the sword energy flew in the air, swaying vertically and horizontally, and surrounded the siege. The coming snakes were beaten back again and again.
Boom!
During the fierce fight, a loud noise was heard in the distance.
It turned out that Zhuge Wulie had lived up to expectations and had destroyed the core of the first magic circle.
Without stopping for a moment, he immediately activated the escape light and rushed to the core of the second magic circle guided by Su Xiaodie.
However, in the process of his flight, the ground of the Divine Coffin Palace suddenly started to rotate.
These floor tiles are divided into seven layers, rotating in different directions with fast and slow speeds, and all kinds of weird runes light up!
"Not good!" Lu Xuanji's expression changed slightly.
He has extensive knowledge and can understand at a glance that the magic circle has activated its self-destruction, burning all its power to perish together with the invaders like them!
This is exactly what happened. At the same time that the ground of the Divine Coffin Palace was rotating, a gray-brown mist seeped out from the cracks in the ground.
Affected by the mist, Shexu's eyes turned blood red, and his body began to burn, but his aura was growing rapidly!
"The core of the second magic circle must be destroyed as soon as possible!" Lu Xuanji said to Zhuge Wulie while resisting Shexu's attack.
After Zhuge Wulie heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, increased his speed, and arrived in front of the core of the second magic circle in an instant.
brush!
The moment his sword light fell, a layer of gray-brown barrier appeared in mid-air, as if a huge hand was holding his flying sword tightly!
As strong as Zhuge Wulie, he couldn't kill him for a while!
"Oops!"
Zhuge Wulie's expression changed drastically, and his consciousness swept away into the distance.
Sure enough, the strengthened Shexu's combat power had greatly increased. At this time, he had broken through Lu Xuanji's sword energy blockade and launched a fierce attack on him.
How could Lu Xuanji resist it with one person?
Within a moment, he was already injured, and a snake took the opportunity to bite his arm.
The snake's saliva was extremely corrosive and melted when it came into contact with blood, quickly invading his body.
Lu Xuanji's face turned pale. He endured the pain and urged his sword finger to pierce the snake.
But as a result, more flaws were exposed, and the other snakes swarmed forward, quickly causing multiple injuries on his body!
Seeing Lu Xuanji's crumbling body, Su Xiaodie's expression changed drastically.
She originally thought that she was just a tool used by Lu Xuanji, but she didn't expect that at this time, Lu Xuanji would not retreat even an inch!
At this moment, Su Xiaodie was in a state of confusion and shouted with all her strength: "Lu Xuanji, leave quickly and leave me alone!"
"Shut up." Lu Xuanji only said three words.
It's not that he is cold, he really can't be distracted... The snakes around him all went crazy, their combat power soared, and their speed and strength were not at the same level as before.
He could only defend reluctantly, so how could he have the energy to argue with Amelia Su?
However, Lu Xuanji would never abandon Amelia Su no matter what.
In a place like this, if Su Xiaodie died, it would be tantamount to self-destruction for him!
If it doesn't work, the only option is to use Chaos Sword Qi in the end. Although it will arouse Zhuge Wulie's suspicion, it is better than abandoning Su Xiaodie.
In this way, Lu Xuanji stayed in front of Su Xiaodie without retreating.
He pushed his magic power to the extreme, and the secret technique of sword pointing was perfectly combined with the power of his body. The sword light bursting out from his fingertips was extremely sharp!
It's a pity that those snakes are too powerful, and they are not afraid of death.
Although Lu Xuanji took advantage of the chaos and killed three snakes, the remaining snakes left more injuries on his body.
In just a moment, Lu Xuanji was already covered in blood, and some places were severely corroded, even the bones were exposed...
"Brother Deer!"
Su Xiaodie's heart was as sharp as a knife, her eyes were filled with tears, and she wished she could break out of the prison and bear such pain for Lu Xuanji.
At this moment, a powerful sword intent suddenly erupted in the distance!
Zhuge Wulie's expression was serious, and a golden figure appeared above his head, which merged with the natal flying sword, and then slashed downwards.
Boom!
Amidst the loud noise, the barrier protecting the core of the magic circle shattered into pieces and turned into a puff of smoke that dissipated in the air.
At the same time, the golden sword light suddenly fell, splitting the core of the last magic circle in the Divine Coffin Palace into two halves...
