Time Was Almost Up-Double Kill
"This is too strange!"
Cao Mingjie carefully inspected the large and small objects in the palace. "How can there be nothing in such a big palace?"
"There are obviously such complicated restrictions outside, is it just to protect such a strange bead?"
"Hey, there seems to be something written on the tray."
As he spoke, he suddenly discovered that there was a strange Ancient Seal Script engraved under the orb.
"This seems to be the same writing as the stone tablet at the entrance."
Ma Wenbo heard this and came over. "But we don't know Ancient Spirit Script either."
Yu Zhenyang answered, "This is also the first time I have heard such a thing."
"In this regard, it is necessary for monks from large sects to have profound knowledge, master more secret information, and have time to read books."
"It's not like we are so busy making Spirit Stone every day that we don't even have enough time to practice."
In fact, the main reason is that ordinary monks do not have access to those things.
Maybe in a certain large sect Scripture Pavilion, the miscellaneous books that no one usually pays attention to are Ancient Books that have been lost to the outside world for many years.
This invisible accumulation can sometimes have a significant impact at certain critical moments.
Regarding this point, Xiao Chen has always attached great importance to it, and he will definitely supplement his knowledge when he has the opportunity in the future.
I just don't know which sect prefers to accept newcomers.
"I seem to know what this word is."
Since entering the palace, Qiu Fanghui, who had been looking left and right, suddenly said, "If I guess correctly, it is most likely the character for chicken."
Huh?
Ma Wenbo was immediately curious. "Daoist Qiu, how did you see this?"
Qiu Fanghui immediately coughed. "Ahem, look, the copper pavement on Palace Gate is in the shape of Heavenly Rooster Announces Dawn."
"The top of the Huabiao standing outside has a statue of Golden Rooster Stands Alone engraved on it. Inside the house, the vases, screens, incense burners, and Octagonal Palace Lantern are either pure white, or have chicken patterns or characters."
"I guess these things should be related to the items placed in the main hall."
Finally, he specifically added, "Of course, this is just speculation, and it may not be correct."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen took another look at the surrounding ornaments, and they found that they indeed conformed to this pattern.
This inference is a bit interesting. If the palace here is really set up according to a fixed theme, then Profound Mystery is likely to be hidden in it.
He immediately put away the orb and said, "Let's go directly to the palace at the back and see if we can find out."
At this time, other monks had already passed Narrow Path and also arrived at the palace area.
However, those who can come here so quickly are all big forces or relatively powerful monks.
More than half of them chose to go straight to Core Area along the main road.
The remaining half, after discovering that the restrictions on the palace and side halls were extremely complicated, many went directly deeper.
Therefore, there were only a few scattered cultivators near Xiao Chen, and they were very vigilant and hid far away.
He actively avoided the five of them.
"Hey, look at the right side. The statue on top of Huabiao is Heavenly Dog Eats the Sun."
Cao Mingjie watched excitedly. "On the left is Monkey Scooping the Moon, there seems to be a pattern."
"Shh~!"
Ma Wenbo quickly stopped him. "Don't shout, be careful that the walls have ears."
But they were obviously excited.
There seems to be some secret here. If that's the case, maybe going to Core Area first is the wrong choice.
"Daoist Jinguang, which one should we drive first?"
Yu Zhenyang subconsciously asked for advice.
"Let's drive to the right first."
Xiao Chen pointed casually. "Drive all the way from right to left, so you don't have to run back and forth."
"Daoist Jinguang said it well!"
Qiu Fanghui has not forgotten the first one to rush to echo.
The five people used Yin-Yang Separation Restriction Formation to successfully open the second palace. The layout of the equipment inside was indeed similar to the first palace.
On the last tray, there was an orb that looked exactly the same.
"Then this should be the word for 'dog', right?"
Ma Wenbo took out the pen and paper and drew the Ancient Spirit Script above.
He drew three copies directly in front of him, and then handed one copy each to Xiao Chen and Qiu Fanghui.
"We haven't collected them all yet, so you can take them first."
Since someone was helping to record it, Xiao Chen didn't shirk it, but just waved his hand temporarily. "It won't be too late to wait until the painting is finished."
"Let's try to open all twelve palaces and record them all."
Qiu Fanghui quickly agreed, "Daoist Jinguang said it well!"
Because the palace restrictions were too complicated, and more and more monks came later.
Therefore, after Xiao Chen and others collected the third orb, they saw different monks in front of the remaining nine palaces working on cracking it.
There are many other teams among them, and some teams even have special monks assigned to guard the surroundings.
"No, it seems to be Eight Great Families's team over there."
Cao Mingjie made a careful distinction. "I saw the person leading the team at West Market that day, and he seemed to belong to the Mu Family."
"How about we go explore the side hall at the back first?"
For him, it is natural that he does not want a conflict to break out.
Ma Wenbo looked into the distance. "There seems to be a lone cultivator on the main road, why don't we drive him away?"
"Although these orbs are of no use at the moment, they are likely to be of great use in the future."
"I think it's better to collect a few more."
In comparison, it doesn't matter to offend a casual cultivator. Anyway, Eastern Domain is so big that we may never meet him again in the future.
Yu Zhenyang didn't even hesitate for a second this time. "Daoist Jinguang, what should we do next?"
He looked directly to the right, expecting Xiao Chen to make the decision.
By now, Yu Zhenyang has given up thinking on his own.
It's not that he lacks his own opinions, but Cultivation World respects the strong. This kind of thing is actually very common.
As long as a certain monk's strength is clearly ahead of the others, he will naturally have the greatest say.
Only those monks with similar strength need to fight for the so-called power through intrigues.
Although no matter how strong the force, it is difficult to eliminate the objections of others, a strong person can directly eliminate those who raise objections.
Over time, people gradually get used to it and think that whatever the strong man does is right.
"Then let's..."
Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a Sword Array Diagram flew over in front of him.
In an instant, it turned into a simple Sword Formation, including all five people.
Immediately afterwards, ninety-nine and eighty-one cyan Sword Qi came from all directions.
"Returning Origin Thick Earth, protect me!"
Yu Zhenyang and others also reacted very quickly. They dispersed to the surroundings immediately and used Talisman to protect themselves.
It's a pity that it still can't escape the scope of Sword Formation.
.
"Move quickly, leave no one behind!"
Three monks suddenly appeared from the entrance of the row Palace Gate on the far right, each using their Spirit Artifact to prepare for a siege in conjunction with the formation.
"Jade Terrace Fire Lotus!"
Xiao Chen didn't panic when he saw this, he raised his hand and first blessed himself with a protective technique.
Then he pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed around.
Immediately, a Soaring Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips and hit the formation.
However, even though this is a killing array, it is Third-Order Array after all, because it is completely uninterrupted by Soaring Sword Qi.
Okay, that's interesting.
It seems that the other party has something, so no wonder he dares to surround the enemy with less.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The cyan Sword Qi struck Xiao Chen's fire lotus, and dazzling sparks immediately burst out, but he was also unharmed.
"The cathode produces yang and yang produces yin, Invert Heaven and Earth, Reverse the Five Elements."
Yu Zhenyang immediately pushed Yin-Yang Separation Restriction Formation in the opposite direction, trying to crack the surrounding formations.
"Mystic Tortoise Carries Shell, sitting like a mountain."
Cao Mingjie and Ma Wenbo tacitly guarded the left and right sides, and at the same time used Defensive Spell to jointly resist the surrounding Sword Qi.
As the words fell, a phantom of a mountain peak immediately appeared, protecting the three of them.
Qiu Fanghui leaned on the other side of the formation and used two Mystic Iron Puppet to protect himself.
He didn't take out all the puppets at once, but hid two as backup.
"Stop them!"
A monk in blue at the front shouted, "Sky Net Locking Cloud Chain!"
Immediately, a golden light lit up and formed a chain in the air, tightly binding Xiao Chen.
The monk in blue showed a smile when he saw this.
His Law Technique is not ordinary. Once a hostile monk is bound to his body, the true energy in his body will be directly suppressed and cannot be mobilized.
"Heavenly River Inverted Roll!"
On the right was a red monk, she shouted softly.
I saw a large amount of water immediately appearing out of thin air at the feet of Qiu Fanghui, rolling up from bottom to top.
It wrapped his entire body, including the two puppets, into a big water ball.
It also means temporarily disconnecting from other people.
"Cyan Lotus is the sword, and the sword is Cyan Lotus."
At the same time, Green Robe Cultivator on the left raised a slender wooden sword vertically with his right hand, and activated Secret Method with his left hand horizontally in front of the sword.
I saw the cyan Sword Qi in the formation, and immediately turned into blossoming Cyan Lotus.
Immediately they all rushed towards Yu Zhenyang, trying to stop him Break Formation.
"Bang~!"
A Cyan Lotus flower fell in front of the trio, bloomed in an instant, and split into hundreds of sharp lights.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Cyan Lotus fell, and the dense sharp light directly tore the outer mountain phantom into pieces.
The Return Origin Thick Earth Talisman inside was also overwhelmed and cracked quickly.
"Not good!"
Yu Zhenyang immediately gave up the array, added a new Talisman for defense, and used a spiritual shield to share the defense pressure.
He glanced to the left and found that Xiao Chen was firmly tied with golden chains.
I looked to the right again and saw only a big water ball.
Suddenly his heart sank, the current situation was extremely unfavorable.
Although there are only three people on the main opponent, they are all Late-stage Golden Core monks, and they have also set up a formation as a trap. Now that they are trapped in the formation, even if they have a numerical advantage, they may not be able to cope with it.
The main problem is that Yu Zhenyang himself knows that Body Cultivator is often helpless when faced with such a situation.
It is almost impossible to forcefully break the formation with just brute force.
Instead, you will be restrained by Formation Power, as if you have fallen into mud and been trapped to death.
Yu Zhenyang took a deep breath, and now he must break the formation to help Xiao Chen take advantage of his strength.
He gritted his teeth and re-opened the formation. "Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, help me get two quarters of an hour."
Casting the array requires a lot of real energy and Divine Sense, and then he himself can't even worry about defending against the enemy's attacks.
And it can be expected that the enemy will definitely concentrate its efforts on attacking him, the formation breaker.
If anything goes wrong, he will be torn apart by Sword Formation on the spot.
But now, this is the only hope Yu Zhenyang can think of.
"Humph, you are stubbornly resisting."
The monk in blue on the opposite side snorted coldly, and immediately took out a dark blue leaf from his arms. "Netherworld Thousand Leaves, the famous Ningshuang, go!"
As he spoke, he threw it forward. The fallen leaves floated in the air, and their trajectory was erratic and unpredictable.
It accurately avoided Cao Mingjie and Ma Wenbo, and directly stuck to the only remaining spiritual shield in front of Yu Zhenyang.
There was no sound, the spiritual light on the shield was immediately extinguished, and then the entire shield was wrapped in ice crystals, and the leaves fell to the ground.
If Yu Zhenyang still dares to ignore it, he will inevitably fall first without the spiritual shield defense.
Therefore, even though he knew that this was not the solution, he had to give up breaking the formation again and took out a spare spiritual shield and opened it.
Due to consuming too much real energy in a short period of time, Yu Zhenyang's face turned pale for a while.
He looked around. Although many people witnessed the fighting breaking out here, they all turned a blind eye and ignored it.
It seems that no one can be expected to come to the rescue.
"It's so vulnerable. You dare to come to the ruins and die at this level."
The monk in blue smiled proudly, "Let's wrap things up quickly. It looks like we can still go to the palace to have a look."
The red monk glanced back and saw that another Mu Family team was about to lift the ban on the palace.
He curled his lips immediately and said, "It's really annoying. I give people the most difficult goal every time."
"This guy actually brought four puppets. After killing the other four, you have to come and help him."
The monk in blue raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Oh, you met the strongest prey again?"
"Easy to talk to, I will definitely help you this time."
Green Robe Cultivator reminded aloud, "It's almost time, let's finish this first."
As he spoke, he further increased his true energy output, and immediately the number of Cyan Lotus in the formation also skyrocketed.
Yu Zhenyang and the others suddenly turned pale. The opponent actually still had some strength left. This time, the whole army might be destroyed.
"Indeed, it's almost time."
Xiao Chen looked at Huo Family Cultivator in the distance. Not only did he not panic, he actually smiled.
He actually noticed at the first moment that these three people and Huo Family Cultivator in the distance all had the same pattern embroidered on their collars.
So I deliberately did not take out Flying Sword, but simply conducted a strength test with Sword Qi.
After all, if Xiao Chen directly destroys the formation, Huo Family Cultivator over there will come to support.
At that time, the ban on the palace will have to be cracked again.
Things are different now, as the ban is about to be lifted.
It just saves them the time to crack it again after the fight.
His operation can be said to be all about details.
"Click! Click!"
Under the disbelieving gaze of the monk in blue, Xiao Chen reached out and crushed the chain on his body.
"If the three of you commit suicide now, I can promise to keep your whole body for you."
.
Red Robe Female Cultivator reacted immediately. "Something's wrong, he is Top-tier Body Cultivator, let's limit his explosion."
While talking, she presented a Talisman: "Frost Bloom Buries the Moon!"
Immediately, a round of Moon Phantom fell into the array, and then the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
The bright moon seemed to be frozen by the cold, slowly falling to the ground.
In such Cold Current, even Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seems to be frozen.
Yu Zhenyang I immediately felt that my joints were stiff and unable to stretch.
Cao Mingjie At that time, he felt as if he had appeared naked in the ice and snow, and his blood slowed down and seemed to freeze.
The monk in blue also snorted coldly again, "Huh, what a shameless statement."
"If you commit suicide now, I promise not to crush you to ashes."
As he spoke, he also played a Talisman: "Foul Spring Tainted Earth!"
The Talisman suddenly turned into a Turbid Spring Water and fell into the formation.
The soil within the entire formation was affected and turned into a color with Corrosive Mud.
This move is even more restrained by Body Cultivator. The soft ground not only cannot borrow force, but also absorbs the impact.
The Green Robe Cultivator threw a dead branch and integrated it into the formation.
Suddenly, the entire formation became three points stronger and could resist the explosion more effectively.
Although Xiao Chen just crushed Sky Net Locking Cloud Chain with bare hands, it showed a good Body Refining Cultivation.
But the few people in front of him were not too alarmed by this.
They were very cooperative and provided solutions immediately.
If a Body Refining successful elite monk came here today, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.
Unfortunately, they happened to encounter Xiao Chen today.
"Oh, that's interesting."
Xiao Chen took out Wind Thunder Pair Swords unhurriedly. "You actually prepared Talisman that limits Body Cultivator. Come prepared."
"I have to say that among the enemies I have seen, you are not that stupid."
"It's a pity that I'm still not smart enough to know not to provoke those who shouldn't be provoked."
He held a Flying Sword in each hand and shouted softly, "Soaring to the Heavens!"
In an instant, the bright Sword Light obscured the vision of everyone nearby.
The monk in blue felt his heart skip a beat and immediately used his defensive spiritual shield.
Red Robe Female Cultivator was instantly shocked and turned pale.
He hurriedly took a few steps back, hiding behind the monk in blue, and at the same time opened Protective Spiritual Light.
Green Robe Cultivator, acting as Formation Master, immediately grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and manipulated Formation Power to weaken Sword Light of Xiao Chen.
However, the next moment, the ruthless Sword Light directly penetrated the formation in front of him.
"Huh? How come there's no backlash?"
Green Robe Cultivator stared blankly at the torn formation, feeling a little confused.
Logically speaking, as a member of the main formation, he should have to bear the backlash caused by the forcible destruction of the formation.
But now, he can't feel any signs of real energy disorder, and he can't even feel his own real energy.
Wait, something's wrong!
Green Robe Cultivator looked down and saw a cross-shaped wound on his Dantian.
Through the missing flesh and blood, you can see that Golden Core inside has been cut into four pieces.
"My Golden Core is broken?"
After realizing this, Green Robe Cultivator suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was draining away quickly, and then his whole body was broken into four pieces along the cross wound.
Everyone around looked at Green Robe Cultivator who fell to the ground, and they were all stunned on the spot.
"Boom!"
A Huabiao in the distance was cut off by Sword Light and collapsed to the ground, waking up everyone nearby.
The monk in blue swallowed hard.
He hurriedly took out a defensive spiritual shield and offered it, while silently chanting Mnemonic and casting Defensive Spell.
What the hell, in front of me is not only Top-tier Body Cultivator, but also a top Sword Cultivator.
No, no, no, even the top Sword Cultivator can't do this.
He has never heard that Golden Core cultivator can kill Golden Core with one sword through the formation. This is simply unreasonable!
"A Qing!"
Red Robe Female Cultivator exclaimed, his eyes turned red immediately, and he pointed at Xiao Chen: "How dare you kill A Qing, I will kill your entire clan to bury him with him."
As she said this, she hid behind the monk in blue.
At the same time, he moved quickly and stepped backward quickly.
I want to seek help from the team of the Mu Family monks behind me.
After all, she instantly judged that after losing the formation and companions, the two of them alone were no longer able to fight against the five people in front of them.
As she retreated, Qiu Fanghui and four Mystic Iron Puppet also lost their siege and were revealed.
But at this time, neither he nor Yu Zhenyang and the others could care to stop Red Robe Female Cultivator.
Everyone looked at Green Robe Cultivator who fell to the ground, their minds went blank.
"Sir, senior brother, Daoist Jinguang's Swordsmanship seems to be very powerful too."
Cao Mingjie was trembling when he spoke. He was frightened.
Although the target of the Sword Light just now was not him, he really felt the fear of death because he was so close.
As long as Xiao Chen is willing, that Sword Light can also penetrate his defensive spiritual shield and shred it together with his Golden Core.
Facing an existence that could take away his life at any time, Cao Mingjie felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
"Hiss~!"
Ma Wenbo took a breath. "This is at least Heaven-grade Sword Technique!"
His eyes also revealed unstoppable surprise and a hint of regret.
In his early years, he also tried to learn some Swordsmanship, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, he was unable to persist.
When I saw Xiao Chen's amazing performance, I immediately felt unparalleled admiration.
Yu Zhenyang didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and patted the two junior brothers on the shoulders.
He completely understands this feeling.
Especially Ma Wenbo's shock to Swordsmanship, he had already felt the same before.
"Heart Light Shatter!"
Now that he has taken action, Xiao Chen no longer holds back, but intends to make a quick decision.
Therefore, he directly activated Wind Thunder Pair Swords and struck out with his sword again.
If we say that 'Soaring to the Heavens' emphasizes the majestic and cloud-penetrating power, it is more suitable for breaking formations.
Then this move 'Heart Light Shatter' is more suitable for one-on-one use, and is especially effective against Body Protecting Profound Light.
"Click~!"
The sound of the spiritual shield breaking was heard.
The monk in blue was tense, but he didn't feel any impact.
"Ah~!"
A shrill scream came from behind him.
Turning around to look, Red Robe Female Cultivator, who was retreating, had been cut off at the waist.
Xiao Chen has always followed a habit in fighting, that is, pick the soft persimmon first.
The monk in blue in front of him offered up two spiritual shields, as well as the blessing of Defensive Spell.
That Red Robe Female Cultivator only hid behind a spiritual shield and was busy crying.
Naturally, he chose to hit the crisper one first, and it turned out to be a successful attack.
