No one would have thought that Qi Hong, as a sword holder, was killed by a fish-dragon realm monk. Everyone thought that he was killed by a seriously injured talented woman with a holy book.
"Since the talented lady with the Holy Book has been seriously injured, we should take this opportunity to get rid of her." Qi Yun said coldly.
Qi Dao raised his head and glanced at the group of ferocious evil spirits in the tomb forest. A strange color appeared in his old eyes, and he said: "Strange, how come so many of the undead souls in the Tomb of the Dead God awakened at once?"
Qi Qiankun coughed twice and said: "Nothing strange, it must have been the previous battle between Qi Hong and the Holy Book Talented Girl that woke them up."
"Qi Dao, go and clean them up."
"Qi Yun, when you and I go after the talented woman with the Holy Book, you must not let her escape from this medieval ruins alive. Otherwise, our Qi family will be in big trouble."
Qi Qiankun and Qi Yun seemed to be quite taboo about the Tomb of the Dead God, and did not dare to fly rashly. So, the two of them fell to the ground, divided into two directions, and quickly chased towards the depths of the tomb forest.
Qi Dao stayed, flew to a tombstone, glanced at the evil figure below, and smiled coldly.
"Disperse!"
He stretched out a palm and pressed it forward. Suddenly, the surging holy energy rushed out like water waves. As long as it came into contact with his holy energy, the fierce ghost body would explode in an instant.
After a while, hundreds of ferocious evil spirits all dispersed and turned into wisps of black ghost mist, rising up and turning the entire sky black, like gaseous ink surging.
Qi Dao opened his mouth and inhaled, and all the ghost mist was swallowed by him.
Afterwards, he sat cross-legged on top of the tombstone, started to refine the ghost mist by running his skills.
…
…………
Zhang Ruochen chased all the way forward. The deeper he rushed into the tomb forest, the more frightened he felt.
For hundreds of miles, the ground is covered with tombstones and graves. I wonder how many people are buried here?
In the air, the ghost mist becomes more and more dense, and you can see the evil energy pouring out of the ghost mist at any time, constantly impacting Zhang Ruochen's body.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen had several treasures on his body that could withstand the evil spirit, so he encountered no danger along the way.
Finally, by a big river, Zhang Ruochen caught up with Xiao Hei and the Holy Book Talented Girl and asked, "How did you escape here?"
"See for yourself!"
Xiao Hei stretched out a paw and pointed towards the river.
When he got closer, Zhang Ruochen saw clearly that the river in front of him was actually a river of corpses. The embankments on both sides of the river were all piled up with corpses, emitting a pungent stench.
The water in the river was also very dirty, dark and cold.
Upstream, corpses continued to float down. Some leaned against the banks and became part of the river embankment; some were corroded by the river water and turned into corpse water, becoming part of the river.
"Why is there a river of corpses? Where did these corpses come from?" Zhang Ruochen looked upstream of the river and felt a little cold in his vest.
The gifted girl with the holy book said: "According to the records in the "Records of Strange Events in the Eastern Region", there is indeed such a river of corpses in the Tomb of the God of Death. It is said that it is the river boundary between Yin and Yang. Once you cross the corpse river, you will enter
Hades.”
Zhang Ruochen looked across the corpse river and could faintly see through the ghost mist that there were tombstones standing on the opposite side of the river.
It's just that those tombstones are taller, and each one looks like a towering cliff.
"The underworld?"
Zhang Ruochen looked at the talented woman with a holy book and said, "Do you believe this too?"
"I don't really believe there is an underworld either."
The talented woman with a holy book added: "However, according to the book, no one who has crossed this river has ever been able to come back."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Now, I'm afraid we have no choice but to cross the river. I have a hunch that the strong men of the Qi family have already caught up."
"I'm going to try first to see if this river is really as dangerous as the legend says."
Zhang Ruochen circulated the Holy Qi, and the Holy Qi surged out, and a faint dragon shadow appeared around his body. He jumped forward, used his movement technique, and immediately turned into a dragon and flew towards the other side of the Corpse River.
However, he had just rushed out of the distance of three feet when he felt a strong gravity falling from the sky, making his body almost fall downwards.
Zhang Ruochen's reaction speed was extremely fast. He immediately transported the holy energy to the soles of his feet, stepped on the river, and used the force of the recoil to return to the shore.
"There is a strange force on the river. Not to mention people, even wild birds may not be able to fly over it." Zhang Ruochen said.
There was a pain in his left foot. Zhang Ruochen looked down and realized that just by stepping in the water, most of his foot had been corroded and lost a layer of skin.
He immediately circulated his true energy, injected it into the Yangqiu Sacred Vein, and refined the Yin energy that invaded the soles of his feet.
The talented lady with holy books stretched out a crystal-white arm, and in her palm, a small and exquisite boat emerged.
"It's interesting, little girl, how many things are packed in the palm of your hand?" Xiao Hei's eyes were staring directly at the hand of the talented woman with the holy book.
"There is a city hidden in the heart, and the world is in the palm of your hand."
The Holy Book Talent said: "If I could, I could even draw a hundred ships or a thousand ships with just this hand."
"What use can a painting be used for?" Xiao Hei said disdainfully.
"As long as I am willing, of course what I paint can become real."
The Holy Book Talent stopped talking to Xiao Hei, handed the boat to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "This is a spiritual holy tool, called the Dengtian Boat. You can use it by injecting spiritual power into it."
Now, all her mental power is used to suppress the aura of death, so she can only hand over the Sky Boat to Zhang Ruochen to activate it.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized his mental power and threw the boat out.
The boat fell into the Corpse River and immediately became three feet long, turning into a green boat.
When Qi Qiankun and Qi Yun caught up, the Dengtian boat carrying Zhang Ruochen and the talented girl with the holy book had already left.
Qi Yun stood by the river of corpses, with a serious look on his face, and said: "This is the junction of the Yin and Yang worlds. You can't go any further, otherwise you will break into the underworld."
"We don't dare to go to the underworld, and neither will the talented women with holy books."
Qi Qiankun pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's search separately. I will go upstream and you will go downstream. Remember, if you find traces of the talented woman with the holy book, don't make a move rashly. You are not her opponent. You must send a message to
This Saint, this Saint will catch up in the shortest possible time and take care of her."
Afterwards, Qi Qiankun and Qi Yun divided into two directions, pursuing the upper and lower reaches of the Corpse River respectively.
Qi Qiankun's guess was correct. Zhang Ruochen and the Holy Book Talent did not go to the other side of the Corpse River. Instead, they let the Sky Boat hide in the center of the Corpse River, letting the Corpse Qi in the river cover their auras and follow the current downwards.
Go on parade.
Zhang Ruochen took off the Meteor Invisibility Cloak and injected holy energy into it. Suddenly, the robe gradually became wider and covered the outside of the Sky Boat, completely wrapping it.
"With both the disguise of the invisibility cloak and the corpse aura covering up the aura, even if the saints of the Qi family really catch up, they will definitely not be able to spot us."
Zhang Ruochen finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the inside of the boat.
"It's actually not something to be happy about."
The talented saintly lady was also sitting inside, with a gentle and elegant look, she raised her beautiful face and said: "Although the saints of the Qi family can't find us, the people sent by the Liangyi Sect and the imperial court to save us can't find us.
We can’t be found either. We can’t just keep floating on the river of corpses?”
"Besides, who knows whether we will encounter more terrifying dangers on the Corpse River?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "In this medieval ruins, the communication light talisman cannot be used, and the news cannot be spread at all. The sect and the court may not know that we are in danger."
The Holy Book Talented Girl shook her head and said: "You underestimate your own value. I'm sure that once it is confirmed that you are missing, the Liang Yi Sect will definitely ask spiritual saints to figure out your whereabouts. It only takes time for them to come here.
question."
"No matter how valuable I am, I can't compare to you. If you disappear, the entire Liangyi Sect will probably be greatly shaken." Zhang Ruochen said: "How long do you think it will take for our rescuers to find this medieval ruins?"
The two eyebrows of the Holy Book Talented Girl frowned slightly and said: "It's hard to say, it depends on how long it will take for them to confirm that we have disappeared. It is normal for monks to retreat for several months at a time. If it were at other times, I am afraid it would take a year.
Only then can we fully confirm everything.”
"However, the Sword Discussion Conference is coming soon. You and I are both very important people. As long as you don't show up for ten days, they will probably be very anxious."
"I feel like this is pretty good. It's a rare opportunity to sharpen my mentality. If I can survive this disaster, my mental strength should be able to reach a higher level."
Zhang Ruochen returned the evil-proofing ring to the talented woman with a holy book.
Immediately, he took out the purple-black bell and placed it in front of her.
The Holy Book Talented Girl was quite interested in the bell. She held it in her hand and began to study it.
Zhang Ruochen retreated to the stern of the boat, took out the Ruyi Treasure Vase, held it in the palm of his hand, and pondered for a moment, with an unwavering look in his eyes.
"Chi!"
A ball of flame surged out from the palm of his hand, wrapped the Ruyi Treasure Vase, and began to refine Qi Hong's Semi-Saint Light.
You can't just think about the Liang Yi Sect sending strong men to rescue, but you must also work hard to find ways to save yourself.
To save yourself, you must first strengthen your own cultivation.
The light of the semi-saint not only contains Qi Hong's holy soul, but also the holy energy of Qi Hong's whole body. If the light of the semi-saint can be refined, it can absorb the cultivation of a semi-saint.
Zhang Ruochen believes that he will be able to break through to the seventh transformation of fish-dragon, or even the eighth transformation of fish-dragon.
When the time comes, even if he encounters a weaker Half-Saint, Zhang Ruochen will dare to fight him head-on.
The semi-holy light in the wish-fulfilling vase kept pouring out and turned into strands of light. It was absorbed into the palms of Zhang Ruochen's hands, and then circulated throughout the body through the meridians in the arms.
Gradually, a layer of white holy light emerged from Zhang Ruochen's body.
