The many black shadows in front of me look like mist, as if they have no real body, but they are extremely powerful, and they are not weak at all when they collide with their own sword energy.
Zhang Xuan looked solemn: "Is this... the Beast of Decay?"
The books I had read before contained records about the Decay Beast.
This is a life unique to the Skyfall City. It is fed by the power of decay and is extremely ferocious. Once it is injured, the previous black energy will smoothly invade the body, and the true energy will be corroded, making it almost impossible to treat it.
The original elder Bai Ye was injured by this thing.
"See how strong you are!"
After confirming the opponent's identity, Zhang Xuan refused to retreat. Tongshang's sword turned and his defense became active, dozens of sword energy thrust downwards.
A stone breaks through the wind and echoes with thousands of waves.
This sword technique does not have many skills. As long as you have enough zhenqi, you can easily learn it. However, the more unskilled it is, the more difficult it will be to practice.
Lingyun Jiange has thousands of years of history, and there are only a few people who have completely mastered it, and Zhang Xuan is definitely one of them.
The sword technique was used, and dozens of sword energy were used. Every move, with the strongest power of the Immortal Lord at his peak, fell on the Decaying Beast.
Bang bang bang!
The Decay Beast exploded into powder and once again collapsed a large area of the already dilapidated ruins.
"It doesn't look strong either..."
Seeing a sword energy kill a beast, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could finish his emotion, the black shadow in front of him shook, and the defeated decaying beasts gathered together again, attacking as if they were immortal.
"this……"
His face darkened.
After a while, the broken Decay Beast recovered again, as if his sword skills had no effect at all.
"Is it something like a soul?"
The soul of the shaman jumped out of his eyebrows and slapped it down with a palm.
The Demonic Palm of the Great Compassion!
Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's unique skills have become even better after his modifications, especially the Shaman Soul cast, which has stronger attack power and can cause irreparable damage to spirits.
The palm force crushed it down and the Decaying Beast shattered into pieces. However, just like the previous sword energy attack, it recovered after a few breaths.
Zhang Xuan was at a loss.
If these things remain like this, they can't be killed no matter what, even if their inner breath is like the sea, they can't hold on!
"The Eye of Understanding!"
He used several methods in succession, but couldn't kill him. The texture in Zhang Xuan's eyes squirmed, and he could see something was wrong.
Whenever a Decay Beast is killed, a stream of black energy will flow out of the dilapidated ruins, nourishing it. The Decay Beast that has absorbed the breath will become fierce again and continue to fight.
"These decaying beasts are formed from the energy of decay in the ruins. The energy of decay is immortal, and the beast's body is immortal..."
My heart suddenly dawned.
It’s no wonder that no matter how hard you try, you can’t completely destroy these things. This thing is not swallowing the aura of decay, but it is condensed from the aura of decay. As long as this dilapidated aura remains, it will be immortal.
"Destroy the dilapidated building and let its decay reveal new traces!"
He raised his eyebrows and unleashed his sword energy again.
What was attacked this time was not the Decay Beast, but the already dilapidated building.
Boom!
Rubbles flew and the ruins of the broken wall collapsed again, revealing new traces within them.
New traces appeared, and the aura of decay no longer paid attention to the decaying beast, but accumulated on it and corroded continuously. After a few sword blows, the latter's head was chopped off, and it could no longer be gathered into shape in a short period of time.
"It won't take long before new Decay Beasts will be formed again! And there will be more of them..."
Seeing that his guess was correct, Zhang Xuan looked horrified.
This hollow city is really weird.
Although destroying buildings and forming new traces can disperse the energy of decay, these buildings cannot withstand several destructions. The most important thing is that with corrosion, new traces turn into old traces, and the power of decay will become stronger and stronger.
The number of these decaying beasts will also increase.
In other words, this time, you can escape by destroying the building, but the dangers that those who come later will face are getting bigger and stronger, until they are unbearable.
"I don't know where these auras of decay come from. It's beyond the understanding of ancient saints and even false gods..."
Frowning, Zhang Xuan continued to move forward without thinking too much.
With the experience of the Decaying Beast, Zhang Xuan and his clone flew carefully this time, not even daring to take the medicinal materials on the ground.
After advancing for more than ten minutes, I felt that there was a lot of energy in front of me, as if someone was fighting.
Nodding to the clone, he quietly flew forward, bypassing a broken wall, and two figures appeared in front of him.
They are two of the four most powerful Immortal Lords who have entered the Star-Chasing Palace.
Of these two people, one lost an arm, and the other had a hideous wound on his chest that had festered and gave off a foul smell.
"I will die with you!"
The two roared furiously, and their swords flew, each stabbing at the other.
Their Qi is similar, and their strength is not much different. It's hard to tell the difference for a while.
"Why did you start fighting?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
I thought I had met Fu Shenzi or Palace Master Du, but I didn't expect these two peak immortals to start fighting on their own first, and they were so ruthless. I was full of confusion.
"No, I must have fallen into an illusion..."
After watching it for a while, I realized something was wrong.
He had met the temple warriors several times, and they basically had no personal emotions. Now these two people were fighting bravely, with every move aimed at the vital point, and they refused to die. They were obviously mentally disturbed.
Maybe there are phantom formations moving around.
The Eye of Understanding moved again and looked around, quickly looking around.
His eyebrows wrinkled again.
As a grand master of formations, his understanding of formations has long reached the pinnacle of the entire universe. If there are phantom formations around, there will inevitably be spiritual energy fluctuations, resulting in a spiritual energy whirlpool.
But under the illumination of the Eye of Understanding, the surroundings were quiet as usual. No aura disorder was found, and the formation flag and formation center could not be found.
"Without the formation flag, the formation center is not a phantom formation. What could it be..."
I looked around again, and soon several flowers with special shapes appeared in front of me.
These flowers are scattered around the ruins in a symmetrical shape, and the air of decay is absorbed into them, making them look extremely charming.
"This is...the inner demon flower!"
The Heart Demon Flower is a legendary plant that can emit a special aura and allow people to give birth to inner demons. It is somewhat similar to the Blood Stone. Under normal circumstances, practitioners will not be affected if they get close to it, unless... they attack it.
Only then can it trigger a backlash.
Is it possible that these two people attacked all these inner demon flowers, causing a collective backlash, and even the peak immortal king fell into an illusion and was unable to extricate himself?
"No, someone set up a trap and these two just stepped into it..."
After studying it for a while, I suddenly realized it.
There are special power fluctuations in front of these Inner Demon Flowers. Once someone comes to this area, they will touch this buried power and eventually attack the Inner Demon Flower, thus creating a confusing atmosphere in people's minds.
These two immortal kings at their peak must have become like this because of being tricked.
"Could it be...left by Palace Master Du?"
The purpose of coming to the temple is to capture Palace Master Du. The other party knows that this place is dangerous, but still insists on coming. It is very likely that he knows a lot about the Skyfall City and wants to use the environment to kill him.
"No matter...they are killing each other, it's best if they all die!"
After trying to figure out what was going on, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately flew across the area without disturbing these demon flowers.
However, it only flew a few meters when it suddenly stopped.
"No, leaving like this would be too wasteful... You're going to die anyway, so you might as well do a good deed!"
Concentrating his mind, he flicked his fingers, and dozens of rays of immortal power shot out and landed around him.
As soon as he stepped on the sole of his foot, there was a "buzz!" sound in the air, and a ring-shaped wall of air suddenly appeared, blocking the front of the Heart Demon Flower.
The wall of energy appeared, and the two immortal kings who were fighting were at their peak. No longer disturbed, the blood-red color in their eyes slowly faded away.
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong with us..."
After regaining consciousness, the two fighting men stopped.
"You are controlled by the Inner Demon Flower, and you were killing each other just now!"
At the moment of doubt, the temple warrior disguised as Zhang Xuan strode over.
"Heart Demon Flower..."
Seeing him catching up with them and others, the two injured people breathed a sigh of relief, with cold sweat breaking out on their heads.
They had also heard of this thing, which was extremely powerful, but they didn't expect that they would fall into it.
"In order to prevent you from continuing to fight and hurt each other, give me your sword..."
Zhang Xuan came to the front.
The two of them frowned at the same time.
"Hurry up. Once the Heart Demon Flower attacks again, if you can't hold on, you will really die here..."
Zhang Xuan scolded, stretched out his palms and pinched violently.
The two men on the opposite side were already at the end of their strength. There was no way they could stop them. In the next moment, the weapon in his hand was already in his palm.
"you……"
Seeing this tough guy grabbing him, both of them frowned.
"Okay, don't think too much, I am doing it for you too..."
Zhang Xuan patted their shoulders in a comforting manner, put the two long swords into the storage ring, stepped on them with the soles of his feet, and flew up.
"Okay, you guys have fun..."
Bo!
There was a blast of air, and the air wall just deployed exploded instantly, and the power of the Heart Demon Flower spread again.
"What are you going to do?"
Feeling that their eyes were turning red again and their spirits were a bit unbearable, the two temple warriors were going crazy.
Isn't this guy here to save us?
Why let the Heart Demon Flower attack again?
What does it mean to have fun? How to play?
"I want you to die..."
I was really puzzled, my eyes blurred, and I fell into the illusion again, all of them rushed up with red eyes.
Bang bang bang bang!
Although there are no weapons, there is no mercy in the hands, and everyone's palms are full of power, and every move is fatal.
Puff puff puff!
Soon the two of them spurted blood and fell to the ground at the same time, seeing that they could not survive.
Until his death, he could not figure out why his partner took away the weapon and then let him kill each other.
"Let's go!"
If he had known that they would have such an outcome, Zhang Xuan was too lazy to continue talking nonsense and continued to move forward.
We're all going to die anyway, so weapons can't be wasted. As for corpses... there are quite a few storage rings, so it doesn't matter anymore.
