The cold wind is like a knife.
The moment the three of them jumped down from the edge of Yinwind Ravine, the strong wind pouring in from bottom to top carried countless space cracks as fine as an ox's hair, and frantically cut through the protective body True Qi.
The Protective Qi surfaces of Wang Teng and Yang Xiong have ripples visible to the naked eye. The consumption of True Qi is several times faster than in the outside world.
What's even more terrifying is the cold, sticky and strange energy mixed in the wind. It penetrates all pervasive and seems to penetrate into the warrior's bone marrow and freeze the soul.
"This damn place!" Yang Xiong cursed in a low voice. The spear in his hand shook, and the crimson gun beam surged by three points, barely blocking out the cold air. However, his face became increasingly pale. It was obvious that Bone-Corroding Curse Poison, who had been suppressed, had a tendency to raise his head again in this environment.
Wang Teng's situation was slightly better. He was surrounded by a layer of light cyan Sword Qi, which was extremely sharp and shredded all the invading evil winds.
But his furrowed brows and his eyes staring intently at the endless darkness below exposed the solemnity in his heart.
Only Lu Chen remains calm.
The perfect state of <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> operates on its own. The dark black True Qi is as thick as a mountain, forming an invisible barrier on his body that seems weak but is actually indestructible.
Those dark winds that can make both Wang Teng and Yang Xiong feel troublesome blow on him like a gentle breeze blowing on a hilltop without causing any ripples.
His body seemed to have become a stubborn stone that refused to exchange any energy with the outside world.
The three of them fell rapidly, and after about a hundred feet, they finally landed on the ground.
This is the bottom of Yinwind Ravine. There is no soil, and what you step on is a thick, soft layer of off-white powder, which makes a "crunching" sound when you step on it.
Through the faint light emitted by some strange moss on the cliff, the two of them saw clearly what kind of powder it was. It was clearly a layer of bone powder formed after Demon Beast skeletons had accumulated for countless years and were eroded and weathered by the cold wind!
The air was filled with a strong smell of putridity and blood, mixed with an evil aura that could make the soul tremble.
At this moment, an extremely sharp "squeak" sound, as if it could pierce the eardrums, came from the depths of darkness ahead without warning!
"Be careful!" Wang Teng was the first to be alert, holding the long sword across his chest.
Before he finished speaking, the darkness seemed to come alive.
Thousands of palm-sized black bats with blood-red eyes swept over like a black tide of clouds rolling back, overwhelming the sky and the earth!
These are no ordinary bats!
The moment they appeared, the piercing scream suddenly rose several levels, as if it was an invisible spiritual hammer, hitting the three people's minds hard!
Soul-Devouring Demon Bat!
Demons live in groups, and their physical attacks are weak, but the soul sound waves they gather together are enough to make warriors of the same level instantly collapse their sea of consciousness and turn them into idiots!
"Uh-huh!"
Wang Teng was the first to bear the brunt. He felt as if his head was being stabbed hard by a red-hot steel needle. Stars were appearing in front of his eyes, and his soul was in intense pain.
After all, he was born Aristocratic Clan. At the critical moment, he suddenly took out a jade pendant that was completely cool from his arms, True Qi poured it into it, and crushed it hard!
"Buzz!"
A ray of clear light spread out from the broken jade pendant, turning into a light shield to protect his head, and the severe pain was slightly relieved.
His face turned pale, and he endured the discomfort. The long sword in his hand danced, and a dense green sword net spilled out to protect him.
Yang Xiong's situation is worse than him.
His soul was already damaged by the poison, and now he was hit hard. He had a splitting headache, his eyesight turned black, and he almost fell to the ground.
He could only rely on his fighting instinct, roared, and danced his spear like a windmill. The violent spear formed a barrier of flames, which swept in, crushed, and burned hundreds of monster bats that rushed forward into charcoal.
But his movements were obviously deformed.
Just as the two were struggling to hold on, a steady voice sounded in their ears.
"Keep your mind."
Lu Chen took one step forward and actually stood in front of the two of them, facing the endless swarm of bats.
The soul storm that was enough to make Wang Teng use his life-saving trump cards, to him, was just a noisy cicada in the summer.
His powerful soul power has already made him completely immune to this level of spiritual attack!
<Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art>Operation at full power!
"Moo!"
A low roar that seemed to come from ancient times came from the body of Lu Chen.
The dark black True Qi around him came out of his body, no longer an invisible barrier, but quickly condensed into a translucent tortoise shell shadow about ten feet in diameter and covered with ancient patterns, firmly protecting the three people inside.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless invisible soul sound waves collided with the tortoise shell shadow, causing only layers of insignificant ripples, which were completely obliterated and dissolved by the heavy artistic conception that suppressed all things.
After the tortoise shell, the pressure on Wang Teng and Yang Xiong dropped sharply, and they looked at Lu Chen with extremely complicated eyes.
How many trump cards does this person... really have?
Lu Chen didn't give them much time to be shocked.
He saw the bats still fearlessly attacking the tortoise-shell shadow, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he no longer held back.
He touched Storage Bag with his left hand on his waist, and a talisman with pale golden arcs all over its body appeared in the palm of his hand.
It was the <Wind Thunder Spell-Breaking Talisman> that he obtained from Clerk Chen and was deduced to the perfect state through his system!
True Qi is like a river pouring back, rushing into the talisman crazily!
The talisman paper spontaneously ignited without fire, and the bright thunder light gathered in his palm, making a "crackling" sound, illuminating the entire dark valley bottom as bright as day!
Lu Chen had an expressionless face, pushed his arms forward, and spit out a cold syllable.
"Edict!"
A golden thunderbolt as thick as a bucket, carrying the might of heaven, roared out from his palm like an angry thunder dragon, and blasted into the black bats!
Thunder is the most powerful force of heaven and earth, and it is the nemesis of all evil and evil spirits in the world!
Wherever the golden thunder dragon passed, the space seemed to be purified. Hundreds of Soul-Devouring Demon Bat didn't even have time to scream, and were instantly turned into ashes in the overbearing lightning, leaving not even a trace.
The originally crazy offensive of the bat swarm came to an abrupt end.
The remaining monster bats seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and let out a scream full of extreme fear. They did not dare to stop at all, and retreated crazily into the dark depths at the bottom of the stream like an ebbing tide, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The thunder light dissipated, and darkness and silence returned to the bottom of the stream.
The air was filled with a burnt smell after thunder and lightning.
Wang Teng and Yang Xiong looked at the golden arc in Lu Chen's palm that had not completely dissipated, and their Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Dual Cultivation of Talismans and Martial Arts... It's not that they have never seen it before, but they have never heard of a Meridian Opening state that can exert the power of a talisman to such an extent!
Lu Chen retracted his palm, as if he had just done a trivial thing, looked into the bottomless darkness, and spoke in a calm voice.
"This is just an appetizer."
"The big stuff is down there."
The three of them looked at each other, said nothing, and resolutely jumped down into the darkness that was briefly illuminated by lightning.
