When Shen Mo appeared from the other side of the teleportation array, Tianming [Cicada Jue] began to warn frantically.
"Wow!"
Shen Mo held up the Qingyun Umbrella and blocked several terrifying blasts, but the altar behind him was suddenly shattered into pieces.
At this time, he relied on the exploration of his five senses to notice his situation.
The area where he is now is in a valley formed by several peaks. There are towering flags on the peaks of the surrounding peaks, and there are figures standing under the flags.
The figure standing on the mountain peak in the center looks quite familiar.
As soon as his mind changed, Shen Mo remembered that this person was Yang Chengxiong, a disciple of the Sword Alliance who was possessed by Ma Guan Lu.
It's just that his divine soul aura is extremely strong, and he is no longer the Qi Gathering Realm disciple he used to be. At least he has the cultivation realm of the late Linghai Realm!
"wrong!"
"This is not his own cultivation level, but the aura of Ma Guan Lu."
Shen Mo closed his eyes slightly and stared at the person in front of him. He didn't know whether it was Yang Chengxiong or Lu Magui.
this?"
The lever flag planted on the top of the peak is the eye of the formation. This place has been carefully arranged into a huge killing formation, including Shen Mo and the teleportation formation.
Those who control the formation flag do not seem to be monks from the Taiyi Sword Alliance, but each of them is quite strong, and the one with the lowest cultivation level is at the late stage of the Linghai Realm.
Being able to make [Cicada Jue] sound a warning is enough to prove that the killing power of this formation is not weak!
"Ah!"
Yang Chengxiong sneered, greed and murderous intent intertwined in his eyes, "That's right. I know your identity and origin, and you are a serious concern of mine."
"Unless you hand over the rare soul flag to me, otherwise... you will be killed here today!"
It turned out that when Shen Mo possessed the demon soul Lu Ma Guan into Yang Chengxiong, everything went smoothly as he expected at first.
Ma Guan Lu relied on his magical power to secretly control Yang Chengxiong, constantly collecting formation materials, trying to complete Shen Mo's final order, and copying and constructing an ancient teleportation formation.
But as the Demonic Soul General escaped from the control of the Soul Refining Flag for a longer period of time, it gradually developed its own consciousness.
However, after it exerted its magical power of possession, it had an extremely close connection with the soul of Yang Chengxiong, and finally formed an extremely strange symbiotic relationship with it.
It can be said that Yang Chengxiong at this time is not the original person...
It is the fusion of Sword Alliance disciple Yang Chengxiong and mutated demon soul general Lu Maguan. The two are no longer distinguishable from each other!
From this, he learned of Shen Mo's existence.
He believed that Shen Mo, the owner of the Soul Refining Flag, was the mastermind behind his "path", so he planned hard and built this ancient formation altar according to the orders in his memory.
At the same time, thanks to the mutant demon soul's ability to grow stronger by devouring flesh and blood, he secretly continued to prey on blood, raising his own cultivation level to the peak of the third level.
And relying on the accumulation of the past two years, Yang Chengxiong contacted the black market forces who accepted commissions such as killing people and stealing goods, and with their help, he set up this killing scheme.
Currently, he still owes most of the reward to this force and needs to get it from Shen Mo.
As for why he didn't inform the top management of the Taiyi Sword Alliance about this matter... it's not difficult to understand that Yang Chengxiong was in such a state that he didn't dare to seek help from the sect truthfully. He was more afraid of the Sword Alliance than Shen Mo!
Perhaps, in Shen Mo's view, Yang Chengxiong went to great lengths to attract him just to create a situation where he would be surrounded and killed, which was a bit fussy.
But for Yang Chengxiong, he was originally an ordinary disciple of the Sword League. With the help of the possessed ghost Lu MaGuan, he had a smooth journey and reached this point in his cultivation.
However, this is the greatest opportunity, the soul mark is still on the soul refining flag, controlled by others.
If he doesn't get rid of Shen Mo and doesn't get the Soul Refining Flag, he will always feel uneasy...
As his mind wandered, Shen Mo roughly clarified the development of the matter.
To be honest, he didn't have too much murderous intention towards Yang Chengxiong. After all, because of his relationship, he traveled hundreds of millions of miles to a foreign land as he wished.
If Yang Chengxiong is good at negotiating, it is not impossible for Shen Mo to erase Ma Guan Lu's soul imprint from the soul refining flag and give him a great opportunity.
It's just that right now, he sets up a killing spree as soon as he comes up, and it's obvious that he has no intention of getting along with him.
Even if Shen Mo really sends out the Soul Refining Flag, this person will probably not stop there, but will continue to activate the killing array to kill him here.
After many thoughts flashed through his mind, Shen Mo took out the soul refining flag with a smile, filled it with spiritual power, and shook it gently.
The soul mark belonging to Ma Guan Lu suddenly lit up.
The next moment, Yang Chengxiong's face changed drastically. His body was full of bloody resentment, ghostly aura, and demonic aura, and the turbid evil aura began to stir endlessly, constantly flashing with splendor!
Within his Taoist body, a soul that was somewhat similar to him and Ma Guan Lu could be vaguely seen. It was twisted out of the sea of consciousness between his brows and was being pulled out bit by bit, with the tendency of being swept away by the soul refining flag in Shen Mo's hand.
"Since I already know your identity, how could I not prepare a backup plan or two?"
Yang Chengxiong's face was distorted and he roared loudly. He quickly took out seven blood-stained soul-fixing coffin nails from the Qiankun Bag; one was inserted directly from the Tianling Root, one was inserted into the heart of the chest, and the other was inserted into the Dantian.
, the other four are nailed into the hands, feet and limbs respectively!
As the seven soul-fixing nails were inserted into the Taoist body, Yang Chengxiong's soul suddenly retracted into his body, as if he was frozen and motionless.
"Activate the formation and kill him!" Yang Chengxiong shouted at the figures on each mountain peak.
Although these people are doing shameful things, once they accept the deposit and accept the commission, they will do their best to complete the commissioned task.
Immediately, they poured their spiritual energy into the formation flag one after another, and activated the killing power of the formation with all their strength.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
While the formation was in motion, accompanied by strange sounds, gray-black light pillars enveloped the valley.
Each beam of light carries a terrifying destructive power, grazing the edges of the protruding rocks and instantly evaporating them into a ball of smelly black smoke.
"Wow!"
Shen Mo held up the Qingyun Umbrella and barely blocked the first wave of attacks.
However, under the beams of light filled with the aura of destruction, extremely small scratches appeared on the surface of the Qingyun Umbrella.
This defensive treasure cost Shen Mo a lot of cultivation resources. With enough true energy to imbue it, its protective power is extremely strong. Even if it faces the full attack of the half-step Yuan Dan, it will not suffer any loss.
I don’t know where Yang Chengxiong found the helpers, but the killing array he set up was so sharp!
However, Shen Mo did not only have the Qingyun Umbrella as a magic weapon.
With a thought in his mind, the seven Taoist swords wrapped around his wrist roared out, setting up a stern sword array and colliding with the killing array.
As the brilliant sword light and the destructive beam of light intertwined, large rocks were affected by the remaining power and turned into powder and black smoke, denting the entire valley by more than ten feet!
