In the underground tunnel, the blood-colored escaping light transformed by Wu Liang was traveling rapidly, and it was surrounded by running plague rats.
The strange thing is that no matter how close the two are, they are still at odds with each other at this moment.
This was not because of Wu Liang's methods, but because the tunnel behind them was rapidly collapsing.
Even though he had tried his best, the tunnel collapsed too fast. Just a few breaths later, cracks appeared in the tunnel around Wu Liang, and then large chunks of sandstone reinforced by plague rats crashed down!
With the magical power of a monk in the late stage of becoming a god, Wu Liang would not be afraid of these falling earth and rocks, but at this moment, his face was filled with fear.
There is no need for any reason, because this is the induction from the spiritual sense.
Sure enough, the next moment Wu Liang felt a huge force falling on him, stopping his escape for a moment and frantically photographing him in the direction he was coming from.
Wu Liang immediately realized that if he was taken back, he would definitely be dead.
Therefore, he did not care about anything else at the moment and directly summoned the bloody thorns, causing them to pierce his chest and abdomen, and then used a secret method to drain the essence of the bloody thorns to forcibly improve his cultivation.
In this way, the blood thorns he cultivated so hard are completely useless, but in order to survive, it is necessary to give up something.
However, what made him despair was that although his cultivation level had been temporarily improved, the tremendous power falling on him actually increased even faster.
After only three breaths of delay, Wu Liang's figure began to retreat in the direction from which he came.
"No! Let me go! I don't want to die!"
Wu Liang stared at the collapsing tunnel in front of him with bloodshot eyes, stretched out his right palm with difficulty, and roared.
Begging for mercy is undoubtedly one of the most meaningless behaviors in the world of immortality. As soon as he finished speaking, a plague rat came towards him.
This sudden blow immediately became the last straw for Wu Liang. He could no longer withstand the power of ingestion from behind, and flew away like a meteor in the direction from which he came.
Wu Liang's despair was not unique. He was the first among the sixteen people to notice that something was wrong, and he was the one with the highest cultivation level. In fact, he was the one who escaped the farthest.
But the result is still the same, and the fate of the others can be imagined.
...
In the trial hall, as the two major forces in the Dragon Blood Trial took shape, the fighting of wits decreased sharply.
Therefore, most of the image transmission formations in the desert these days are sending back pictures of the two leaders of the major forces, namely Longdong and Longguang, and a few are some of the dynamics of their monks.
Just like Luo Hong and the others, they went to the mirror once before setting off.
"Haha, Long Guang is really cautious. He didn't even believe the spies he sent out, and actually laid an ambush near the sealed place."
"How can you trust a group of foreign aids who work for benefits? If these two teams of spies are caught by Longdong, their positions will be exposed.
This kid Long Guang not only prepared for the worst, he even thought of taking advantage of it. This resourcefulness should not be underestimated!"
"Master Tu is right. I think this opportunity will definitely be taken by Long Guang. This Dragon Blood Trial is a bit suspenseful."
"Yes, if the Destined Dragon Son introduced by the direct lineage has a very good chance of winning, then what else is there to see!"
Anyway, it was not his disciples who were fighting each other, and all the cultivators in the temple were watching the excitement one by one, not caring about the big deal.
These words reached the ears of the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, which naturally caused her displeasure.
Immediately, she glared at her husband and said dissatisfiedly:
"Didn't you say that Dong'er would have a chance to win soon? Why hasn't it happened yet?!"
"Haha, madam, don't be anxious. I've never lied to you before. Just wait and see."
Long Changheng comforted him with confidence.
You know, all the eyeliners who were inserted into the direct line passed through his hands, so he had recognized Li Jun among the four Luo Hongs before.
It seems that the technique this person cultivates has some connection with his Long family, so much so that it is impossible to practice to the realm of refining the void without several special spiritual objects of the Long family, so it is quite reliable.
And after he meets Dong'er's men, Dong'er will be able to get all the information about Long Guang.
As for the trap set by Long Guang, Long Changheng believed that his son would be on guard and even see through it directly.
"Hmph, this position of young master must belong to my son Longdong!"
Thinking like this, Long Changheng proudly glanced at the cultivators in the hall, secretly despising their short-sightedness.
"Huh? There's something moving!"
The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes suddenly looked at the center of the hall and said in surprise.
It turned out that the image in the palace suddenly turned around and came to the sky above a sandy land full of caves.
Such a rapid transfer of the scene can only occur when the ban senses the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of the fight, which makes the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes change her color.
"Haha, look, madam, the chance of victory is here, isn't it?"
Long Changheng chuckled and said, enjoying the feeling of being holy in front of his wife.
The teleportation restrictions placed by the Long family in the Hanhai Desert cannot lock the exact location of the fight at once, but must go through rounds of induction to gradually lock the battlefield.
Therefore, the image transmitted at the beginning must be a large area.
However, while the cultivators in the hall were waiting for further locked images, the image transmission restriction seemed to be motionless, and it kept showing the scene of a sandy land full of caves.
Just when the cultivators were confused, an astonishing change immediately occurred in the sandy land.
I saw countless plague rats emerging from the caves on the edge of the sand, fleeing in all directions like crazy, not caring even if they hurt their own kind.
But in the center of the sand, it was as if the skeletal sandworms were attacking, and the sand with a radius of thousands of feet suddenly sank.
Seeing this scene, the cultivators in the temple subconsciously believed that this was the skeleton sandworm attacking the plague rat's nest.
But the subsequent scene immediately overturned their speculation.
In the sunken sand, giant fangs were not drilled out, but instead a pool of red slurry appeared after the sand was melted.
Since its appearance, this red slurry pool has rapidly expanded to the surroundings and below, forming a huge slurry pool hundreds of miles in diameter and dozens of miles deep within a few breaths.
And with this change, the initiator of all this also revealed its true face.
I saw a blue flame sphere with a diameter of more than a thousand feet suspended in the huge pit, like a sun in the underground world, and its aura was extremely frightening.
"Hiromatsu!"
"stop!"
"Where is the elder? Where is the elder?!"
Compared to the other cultivators in the palace who were shocked by the blue flame sun, the three Xu Lian cultivators who were direct descendants of the Long family were even more excited at this time and started shouting one after another.
It turned out that they saw their descendants being pulled towards the terrifying blue flaming sun by an invisible force.
Moreover, beside them were the foreign aids that were supposed to protect them. Obviously, the only ones who could save them at this moment were a few Long family elders hiding in the desert.
It's a pity that even the elders of the Long family are not omnipotent, not to mention that this trial allows people to die.
In the end, they could only watch as their descendants were burned by blue flames and died tragically on the spot.
The dozen or so foreign aids who transformed themselves into gods were no different.
"My husband is so powerful, is this the trump card you prepared for Dong'er?!"
The beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes was obviously not familiar with the direct descendants of the Long family, so she thought that this was the chance of victory that Long Changheng mentioned.
"Shut up! Father, this..."
When Long Changheng heard this, he was immediately ashamed and anxious. After scolding the beautiful woman in rich clothes, he hurriedly turned back to look at the ancestor of the Long family.
No wonder he was so frightened, it was because the Blue Flame Sun was too tyrannical. More than a dozen god-transforming monks with extraordinary magical powers were unable to escape and were completely destroyed!
"The fusion of Yin and Yang, the treasure of the universe, this man is so courageous!
However, in order to have such power, it must be driven by a cultivation level above that of refining the void, which is a bit interesting."
Seeing the Blue Flame Sun killing four trial teams at the same time, the ancestor of the Long family couldn't help but feel moved and whispered to himself.
Valley
He had seen all the monks who participated in the trial in the trial hall, and he was sure that there would be no void-refining monks among them. However, the power of the blue flame sun was obviously abnormal, so it was rare for him to even have a trace of it. interest.
After destroying the enemy, the blue flame sun quickly shrank and returned to its original size in a few breaths. Luo Hong's figure also appeared again, looking a little pale.
"It's him!"
All the cultivators in the hall exclaimed in their hearts at the same time. After all, the scene where Luo Hong drew the blood of Long Minghua Dragon alive that day was still vivid in their minds.
After seeing Luo Hong, Long Lie's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
You know, Luo Hong was with his granddaughter before, but now he is the only one showing up. It is difficult not to make people think too much.
As soon as he appeared, Luo Hong received the Qiankun Pearl in the image, then patted it on his waist, and a ray of glow rolled out.
When the spiritual light dissipated, Long Ruiyun's physical body was revealed in the glow.
"No!"
Seeing that his granddaughter was seriously injured and dying, Long Lie immediately lost control of his emotions and wanted to rush to the trial site to save others.
Fortunately, the next scene gradually made him feel relieved.
I saw that Luo Hong in the teleportation turned his palm and took out a large ball of true dragon's blood, which was obviously obtained from the four direct descendants of the Long family just now.
Seeing such a large ball of true dragon's blood, the breathing in the hall suddenly became heavy, and a pair of greedy eyes stared at Luo Hong.
Just when the cultivators thought Luo Hong was going to swallow the true dragon's blood, he pointed his sword and sent the ball of true dragon's blood into Long Ruiyun's body.
Moreover, he immediately came behind Long Ruiyun and slapped her vest with his palm, which actually helped her refine the true blood!
Seeing this scene, the hall suddenly resounded with sounds of regret, as if the ball of true dragon's blood belonged to them.
Long Lie, on the other hand, completely let go of his heart. He already understood clearly that Luo Hong did this to save Long Ruiyun with the help of the vitality brought by refining the true dragon's blood.
Although I don’t know what happened between my granddaughter and the other party in the trial field, it is obvious that her life is not in danger at the moment.
However, although Long Lie was relieved for the time being, Long Changheng was worried.
"Father, there is obviously something wrong with this person and he should be kicked out of the trial!"
For the first time, Long Changheng had doubts about whether his son could win the trial.
"The road to ascending the dragon has its own ups and downs. If Dong'er cannot overcome this hurdle, it will prove that he is not the person our Long family is waiting for."
The ancestor of the Long family practices the love-breaking technique and has long since lost all family ties. The only family in this family that he can miss is the Long family, not the Long Changheng family.
Long Changheng knew his father's temper very well, and since he said this, there was no room for bargaining. He could only turn around pretending to be submissive, and then his face instantly darkened.
...
In the vast desert, as Luo Hong continued to help Long Ruiyun refine the blood of the true dragon, her injuries gradually improved, and she finally opened her eyelids after an hour.
"Brother Luo, are you dead too?"
Long Ruiyun's consciousness still lingered on the moment when he was pierced through the abdomen by the Blood King Halberd. At that time, he felt that he was bound to die, but he did not expect to see Luo Hong after his death.
"Yes, not only did you fail to save Luo, you also took your own life in vain."
Luo Hong said calmly.
"Haha, Brother Luo, do you think I'm stupid?"
Long Ruiyun smiled weakly.
"Kind of."
Luo Hong said truthfully.
"really."
Long Ruiyun was not angry, but immediately said with a look of reminiscence:
"Actually, my mother had a chance to escape, but in the end she chose to go back to save my father. I Zeng Jin also felt that this was so stupid. I even complained about my mother all the time and failed to live up to my father's sacrifice.
But after what happened today, I seem to understand my mother a little, and this is not stupid.
Brother Luo, it’s great to have you by my side after death!”
Listening to Long Ruiyun's soft words, Luo Hong's face couldn't help but twitch. He pondered and asked himself, when did he seduced the other person?
I have tried all possible methods, but you are the only one who has no solution!
Gradually she couldn't stand the atmosphere, Luo Hong coughed and said:
"Luo was just joking with fellow Taoist Ruiyun. We are still alive, not dead."
Of course Long Ruiyun knew that she was not dead. After all, she was naive and not really stupid.
After asking that question, she realized that she was still alive, but since Luo Hong said that, she took advantage of the opportunity to say something that she usually didn't dare to say.
"Hehe, it would be better to live with Brother Luo by your side!"
Gan! Is the offensive so fierce?
"Ahem, don't be so playful. Although you are still alive now, with your injuries, if you don't take corresponding measures, you will die soon!"
In order to change the subject, Luo Hong directly told her Long Ruiyun's current situation.
Wu Liang planned to capture Long Ruiyun alive, so the halberd did not go towards the fatal part, but it still caused great damage to the vitality of his internal organs.
Under normal circumstances, she would die after running out of vitality after a few days.
However, the formation in the oasis can replenish vitality and offset part of the loss, enough to keep it alive until Longdong draws the dragon's blood.
That's why Wu Liang was so ruthless at that time.
Although refining dragon blood can replenish a large amount of vitality, these direct lineages of the Long family are not very good, and 50% of the dragon blood in the body cannot completely restore Long Ruiyun's injuries.
The 50% that he secretly took away could not be seen, and Luo Hong did not dare to take it out, otherwise his previous stealing of dragon blood would be exposed.
"So, if I don't refine a few more balls of true dragon's blood quickly, I will still die?!"
Long Ruiyun was afraid of the tunnel.
"Yes, your current physical body is like an iron pot filled with water but leaking.
Originally the leaks were very big and the water was almost drained. Although Luo helped you patch up some loopholes and added a lot of water, as long as the leaks are still there, the water will drain out and the loopholes will be patched up.
It will also be gradually washed away.
So not only do you have to refine a few more balls of true dragon blood, but you also have to do it quickly!"
Luo Hong made an analogy.
"But if this is the case, our plan won't be..."
Long Ruiyun said with an anxious look on his face.
The refined true dragon's blood will be connected to its essence, and once extracted, the foundation will be damaged.
If she uses the method of refining the true dragon's blood to save her life, her bloodline qualifications will increase dramatically. If she wants to cheat the prohibition on drawing true blood after failing the trial, she must obtain the suddenly increased amount of true blood.
And this is almost impossible!
"That's all. I'm lucky to be alive. I don't dare to ask for too much more."
Long Ruiyun naturally knew which was more important, survival or damaging the foundation, and sighed dejectedly.
"You can't use your magic power now. Go to Luo's Jade Mansion space first. Luo will have his own solution for your matter."
Seeing Long Ruiyun's appearance, Luo Hong couldn't help but be a little touched, but he remained calm on the surface.
After he obediently entered the portable jade house, he immediately looked into the distance and said to himself:
"What's the problem? Just change the Long family to a young master!"
After that, he ran away in the direction he came from...
