Chapter 199: No Way Out, the Road Ahead Is Dangerous
Hu Shan smiled lightly and said, "Can you go back?" The clear steps from the first floor to the second floor were no longer visible where Qianqian Yu pointed.
"Why, how could this happen?" Kaguya said in shock.
Hu Shan looked at Kaguya with a smile: "When the Qingguang steps fell on the third floor of the pagoda, the steps on this floor disappeared. Besides, even if they didn't disappear, do you dare to take that corridor again? Little brother Kaguya "Why don't you and Xiaoliu follow my sister, and she will take care of you?" The five golden elixir masters put down their respective plans and joined forces temporarily. At least until they find the treasure of reincarnation, the danger to their lives is greatly reduced, allowing Hu Shan to move from the first place. Layer Tower's tense mood relaxed a little.
"Sister Hu, how are we going to get out after we find the treasure?" Kaguya asked in a flattering manner, making Ruan Xihao and others look down upon his expression.
"Naturally, we can only control the formation center on the seventh floor and leave. No matter how the Dongyuan Divine Palace connects with the underground evil energy, after millions of years, the formation center will definitely weaken. If we join forces, it shouldn't be a problem." Hu Shan said that she was full of confidence, but she didn't take it seriously at all. How could several Jindan masters still join forces when they reach the seventh level! Maybe a few of them have already fallen. As for how to leave, others don't know. Anyway, Hu Shan has her own means.
Ruan Xihao and others looked ugly. This time the treasure hunt had actually turned into a search for death. Not only was the front extremely dangerous, but there was no treasure to be found, and the retreat from the rear was cut off. It was really death to advance, and death to retreat.
"Okay, everyone, let's move on. We Jindan masters should also help these juniors. After all, we are all in the same boat." Xuan Yizhen stood up and said in a leader-like manner. One of the nine elders, he is indeed much more experienced in how to lead a team than the nominal convener, Master Guiwei. At this time, there are more people and more power, so naturally he can speak nicely.
However, Ruan Xihao, Ye Liu, and Zhou Qi are not fools after they have cultivated to the Soul Stage. Especially since they have been adventuring in the Western Wilderness all the year round and have rich experiences, they will not believe Xuan Yizhen's words. But at this time, this situation is really You have to believe it if you don't believe it, otherwise you will be dead. After all, when passing the first floor of the corridor, several people only survived by using all their cards. At this time, they were already at the end of their strength.
But the three of them leaned slightly closer to Shi Xuan. It seemed that in their minds, Grandmaster Xingzhao was kind-hearted, kind-hearted, and highly respected, and was much more reliable than the other grandmasters.
Only Kaguya talked happily with Hu Shan and seemed to have never heard of Hu Shan's reputation.
The nine people went to the third floor of the pagoda one after another.
…………
The surroundings were dark, and it seemed that all the light was being attracted by something. Even monks like Shi Xuan, who was in the Soul Stage, could not see their fingers, and their consciousness was firmly limited to within one foot.
After several tests, Shi Xuan was sure that this was due to the restriction of the formation. He took out the Qianyang Green Lantern and lit up a little light, illuminating the surrounding area, making the area within ten feet dim and warm. However, the restriction of the magic weapon failed to reach the eighth level. Perfection, otherwise the distance to drive away the night would be even further.
As for using the Tai Chi Diagram, Shi Xuan couldn't even find where the formation restriction was. How to stop it, he could only explore slowly in the dark for the time being. Of course, it is also because there are too few restrictions in the Tai Chi Diagram. Otherwise, if a golden bridge crosses the sky and all the heavens and worlds are still, there would be no need to look for the restrictions.
After entering the third-level pagoda, the nine monks were trapped in darkness and could not find each other at all, so they could only rely on their own strength. Shi Xuan held the Qianyang Qingdeng in his palm and moved forward slowly. At the same time, he used the formation knowledge he had learned to observe the formation restrictions here.
Suddenly, a dark black ghost claw struck at Shi Xuan in the darkness. Shi Xuan's protective star light split a starlight hand to meet it. Seven stars shone and changed, locking the ghost claw firmly and stopping it on the spot. , and then smashed it directly. After that, Xingguang's big hand extended towards the place where the ghost claws came out, but unfortunately he missed it. The person who attacked was no longer there, mainly because Shi Xuan's spiritual consciousness was suppressed by the formation. , cannot reach far and cannot be locked.
At the same time, Shi Xuan pointed his hand and moved the green sword light to the left, just in time to hit a black flying fork that flew silently. When the green light circled, the black flying fork turned into a ball of black air and scattered. Kai Lai, it was very similar to the earthly evil spirit outside the cave. Shi Xuan couldn't help but think in his heart that it was also a ghost created by the earthly evil spirit and the evil wind. However, this ghost came and went without a trace with the help of the formation, turning left and right, like a spiritual intelligence. Looks quite tall. His strength is not that strong. The two battles he fought were only at the level of the Soul Stage, which is still the worst kind.
But you have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a wall ladder. After Shi Xuan was prepared, when a dark black ghost claw flew out from the right again, Shi Xuan opened his mouth and inhaled, and suddenly a huge black and white energy appeared, covering the entire right side. , and then pulling something out, the last ghost will be sucked out from the frontmost place on the right. Unexpectedly, it ran so far in such a short period of time.
Of course, this method is not completely effective. If this formation can be transferred through space and swapped left and right, it will have no good effect, so Shi Xuan just gave it a try. After all, even if it is a space transfer, as long as the landing point is at On one side, it can be sucked out. And if this method doesn't work, Shi Xuan has other methods.
After catching the ghost general, Shi Xuan saw the red light in his eyes, knowing that his intelligence was not low. He was amazed. The intelligence of a normal soul-transformed ghost was not low, but the appearance of this red light showed that this was a living breath transformed with the help of the evil wind. It could actually have such intelligence. There must be something wrong. So Shi Xuan used the soul-searching technique to search for something.
But at this moment, a black sword energy came, and a faint baby crying sound came out, which was evil and weird. Shi Xuan recognized that this was an extremely powerful Taoist technique in the ghost way - the ghost baby sword energy, so he did not dare to neglect it. The blue lightning of the Tianlei Fumo Sword flashed, and the blue and black sword lights collided with each other.
Shi Xuan felt his soul go numb, and hallucinations reappeared in his mind. It seemed that countless babies with innocent expressions rushed towards him, with their mouths wide open, and two rows of white teeth inside. Fortunately, the heavenly thunder is the nemesis of this extremely evil and evil Taoist magic. In addition, the Qianyang Green Lantern in Shi Xuan's hand drives away evil, and the Tai Chi diagram in his body suppresses the yin energy, so Shi Xuan immediately came to his senses and controlled the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword to circle around and crush the ghost baby sword energy that had been much thinner after the collision.
Is this a third-level Taoist magic? Is there also a Jindan-stage ghost here, or is it the one that Master Guiku and the others encountered? But in a million years, how could the Taoist magic of that ghost only be third-level? Even if it is a low-grade Jindan, it must have been polished to the ninth-level Taoist magic, unless he has been in the Jindan stage for less than three hundred years!
The sword just now seemed to stop Shi Xuan from searching the ghost general's soul and test Shi Xuan's strength. After the test, he felt that he could take down Shi Xuan, so seven or eight ghost infant sword qi and a white bone flying fork attacked Shi Xuan together. For a moment, the air was full of the soul-stirring cry of babies and the sharp soul-stirring sound of bones cutting through the air.
Shi Xuan waved his sleeves, and seven green sword lights flew out of the storage bag, forming a sword formation in the air, and then turned into a huge green dragon, opening its mouth and swallowing all the seven or eight ghost infant sword qi and white bone flying fork. This is Shi Xuan using seven Yimu Qinglong swords to perform the "Canglong Qisu" sword technique (actually, it should be called a sword formation in the current usage). Although the Yimu Qinglong sword is only perfect in the seventh level, with the blessing of the formation, Shi Xuan hopes to stop for a moment and complete the soul search.
But the rank of the two was indeed too far apart. The giant green dragon only held out for a breath, and then seven or eight black sword qi and a white light rushed out of the green dragon's belly, and the giant green dragon was restored to seven green flying swords, and the color was much darker.
Shi Xuan had just searched out some things when he saw the ghost baby sword qi and the white bone flying fork attacking him. He knew that their power was not something he could withstand directly, unless he used talismans and secret treasures, so he combined his body with the blue lightning of the Tianlei Fumo Sword, and then used the sword qi thunder sound to escape first. The ghost baby sword qi and the white bone flying fork were relentless, and they turned around and caught up again. At the same time, the dense black flying needles in front of him blocked the way in front of Shi Xuan like rain.
Shi Xuan was calm at this time, his mind was extremely clear, and the Beidou Guidance Heart Method kept running. The green lightning trembled slightly, and shuttled through the gaps of the black flying needles with an incredible trajectory. Every time it passed by a black flying needle, and the sword light lightly picked up one or two black needles from time to time. When Shi Xuan got out of the dense flying needles, a pile of dark thin needles fell behind him.
But Shi Xuan had not yet mastered the Beidou Guidance. In addition to taking care of himself, he could not protect the ghost general, and let him be crushed by the ghost infant sword energy that was chasing him.
Once the ghost general died, the white bone flying fork and many black flying needles retreated into the darkness. Only a few remaining ghost infant sword energies continued to attack Shi Xuan, and were easily broken one by one by Shi Xuan's Tianlei Fumo Sword. After that, the darkness around Shi Xuan returned to calm.
Shi Xuan did not seem to be abnormal on the surface, but his soul was trembling. If there were a few more sword qi from the ghost infant, he would probably not be able to take it. After all, the third-level Taoist magic was much better than the perfect spiritual weapon of the first level. The ghost was also much stronger than himself. If it were not for the natural restraint of the heavenly thunder, he would probably have difficulty taking even one sword qi.
And if he used talismans and secret treasures to defend, it would be like showing his cowardice, letting the Jindan ghost know that he was not strong enough and could only rely on talismans and secret treasures. It is very likely that he would make up his mind to fight him with all his strength. As for now, Shi Xuan could only sigh for those soul-level cultivators. Most of those ghosts avoided the strong and attacked the weak, and there were formations separating them. The possibility of their survival was very low.
While continuing to move forward in the dark, Shi Xuan recalled some memory fragments he had searched from the ghost general.
