On a towering ancient tree with withered leaves and branches, a thin blood mist suddenly filled the air and gradually transformed into a beautiful figure with graceful curves.
The mysterious woman in the form of a spirit body seems to have turned the blood mist into a veil, covering her increasingly clear and exquisite figure.
She stepped on a dead branch with her slender feet, and with a hazy face shrouded in blood mist, she faced the huge movement ahead.
Zhou Qingchen ran angrily, smashing rocks and destroying trees, and broke through the encirclement with a destructive momentum.
Behind him, Hong Tai was chasing after him on a snake, taking out blood-colored spears and stabbing him from time to time, performing many exquisite magic spells in succession.
In the mid-air above Zhou Qingchen's head, there is a deep red mountain suspended, which is the materialization of the powerful spiritual power.
Most of the spear venom from Hong Tai and the python fell towards the deep red mountain. It was unknown how Zhou Qingchen inspired the formation of the red mountain, which helped him block several deadly attacks one after another.
The non-physical red mountain was also bombarded by a man and a python, and its light gradually faded.
It seems that it won't be long before the mysterious Hongshan that has been protecting Zhou Qingchen will collapse and disintegrate, and then Hong Tai will actually kill him.
Seeing that Zhou Qingchen's escape speed was not as fast as Hong Tai's from the python beneath him, he seemed to be doing it with ease and not in a hurry.
When the mysterious woman on the tree looked at Zhou Qingchen and Hong Tai, "spiritual evil spirits" gathered from all directions. Among them, the majestic and mountainous Luo Meng was suspended behind her like a door god.
Like Luo Meng, she was a "spiritual demon" condensed by a strong person in the Tongmai Realm. There were also several "spiritual demons" hovering in mid-air behind her, like gods and demons protecting her, making her look astonishing.
"It should be that deep valley."
The woman who had been working hard to condense her spirit body looked at the direction Zhou Qingchen rushed out and heard the sound of fierce fighting.
Suddenly, she looked somewhere else with a feeling.
I saw a tall figure with unusually shriveled flesh and blood walking alone in the dense mountain forest.
All the flesh and blood on the man's body seemed to have been eaten away from the inside, leaving only a piece of human skin wrapped around a huge skeleton.
The clothes around his heart were torn to pieces, and there was a lifelike divine phoenix on his chest that flapped its wings like a tattoo.
The man with a distorted and painful face seemed to be following the guidance of the divine phoenix in his chest, kicking and breathing heavily, like a cruel and ferocious beast that was about to lose its mind, heading towards the Blackwater Pond.
"A poor man whose heart was eaten by phoenix marrow."
The woman shook her head slightly.
With just one glance, she knew that the man's heart had been invaded by phoenix marrow, eating away at his flesh and blood, leaving only his heart as an organ, and he was currently in a semi-dead state.
When the totem-like divine phoenix tattoo flies away from his chest, his bones will be shattered and his soul will be extinguished.
"In the valley, there is another bone containing phoenix marrow. He was attracted by the phoenix bone."
The woman suddenly became concerned.
She is currently in the form of a spirit body and is preparing to accumulate magical powers to recast her body. If Tianfeng's phoenix marrow is used as a guide, the potential of her reforged flesh and blood body may exceed that of her original one.
Thinking of this, the woman's eyes gradually brightened, and she planned to plot the phoenix marrow that might exist in the valley.
…
In the deep valley.
"Buzz!"
A pocket spiritual sword as thin as a cicada's wings, only as long as a finger, flew out from behind Jin Yang and quickly approached Pang Jian.
Pang Jian, who was running all the way towards the Blackwater Pond, turned his head frequently to look, and saw those pocket spiritual swords getting closer and closer, stabbing at his back like willow leaves.
When the flying sword was too close, he was forced to stop and swung his dragon-marked spear to block it.
Amidst the clanging sound, flying swords would still stab his arm, adding to the wounds on his body.
When the flying sword was a little far away and a new round of offensive would not be formed immediately, he endured the pain and marched silently.
"Blackwater Pool!"
So far, he doesn't know what dangers and strange things are in the pool. Just because his father has listed the Blackwater Pool as a restricted area, he believes that there must be something abnormal here.
What's more, there is a phoenix bone in front of you, stuck in the black water pool.
As the number of wounds on his body increased, he even began to expect that the earth would shake again, crack open the gaps again, and some unknown evil would rush out and kill everyone present indiscriminately.
And he could take advantage of the chaos to escape.
After being targeted by Jin Yang, it was difficult for him to escape from the deep valley with his own strength, so he could only rely on other strange things.
The black water pool, which was listed as a restricted area by his father, and the phoenix bone that had not yet revealed its mystery were the support in his heart.
"If there is something strange, I hope it will be revealed soon."
With his blood-stained arms, he flailed at the approaching flying sword, and finally reached the front of the Blackwater Pool.
"The two arms, as well as the vital parts of the chest and back, seem to have been specially tempered."
Jin Yang, who followed casually, skillfully controlled the seven "Cicada Wing Swords" and carefully controlled the force, leaving only bloody wounds on Pang Jian's body.
He quickly figured out where Pang Jian's strong and tall body had been washed and tempered.
"It's obviously not the marrow cleansing realm, how did he do it?"
Jin Yang was not in a hurry to exert force, and did not intend to use thunderous means to kill him. He was thinking and observing, trying to pry out the truth from Pang Jian.
"call!"
The seven "Cicada Wing Swords" suddenly stopped in mid-air and pointed at Pang Jian's waist, abdomen, eyebrows, chest and other vital points from different angles.
Looking at Pang Jian with the Black Water Pool behind him, he smiled slightly: "The water pool is behind you, where can you retreat to?"
"It's the pool!"
The moment he spoke and the "Cicada Wing Sword" stopped, Pang Jian immediately jumped into the pool and swam towards the phoenix bone protruding from the water in the center of the pool.
The water in the pool was deep and cold, and everything below was invisible. Pang Jian, who had excellent water qualities, struggled forward.
The dragon-patterned spear he held in his hand was too heavy in the water, affecting his walking speed, so he immediately threw it towards the center of the pool.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Seven "Cicada Wing Swords" roared above the pond.
After Pang Jian heard the whistle of the sword, he shrank under the water and continued to swim towards the withered bone.
The pitch black water completely covered Pang Jian's body, making it difficult for the seven "Cicada Wing Swords" and Jin Yang to see his figure.
"A practitioner like you can't hold your breath forever under the water. I'm not afraid that you won't show up."
Jin Yang was not in a hurry. He controlled the seven "Cicada Wing Swords" to fly across the water, waiting for Pang Jian to appear, so as to understand the mystery of Pang Jian.
underwater.
Pang Jian was in the freezing cold water, but he could not see anything clearly with his eyes open. The water was still as black as ink as he saw from the outside.
But his underwater activities were no different from those in other lakes. He relied on his previous feelings and still swam desperately toward the dead bones.
He sees dry bones as one of his hopes.
He was holding back his breath, knowing that there was a "Cicada Wing Sword" waiting for him to show up above his head, so he had to control his body's buoyancy as much as possible to avoid accidentally popping up before touching the withered bone and attracting fatal attacks from the seven spiritual swords.
After a while, he actually touched the withered bone in the dark underwater world!
When his hands touched the withered bones under the water, his blood quietly seeped into the phoenix bones under the water without him being able to see it.
The phoenix bone suddenly produced a secret power of sucking, constantly sucking the blood from him.
Pang Jian, who was holding his breath very hard, gradually discovered that he could see the surrounding scenes under the dark water.
Not only can you see the extremely thick phoenix bones, but you can also clearly see a "cicada-wing sword" flying above under the water.
The color of the water has not changed, it is still as black as ink.
What changed was the withered bones of the phoenix that fell from the sky that were inserted into the pond. Because the shining light was released through the withered bones, part of the darkness was dispelled.
It was also at this time.
"Boom!"
With the Blackwater Pool as the center, the surrounding ground suddenly shook. Rocks rolled down from the mountain wall behind the pool, and some tall trees fell one after another.
The rugged and deep valley land seemed to be torn apart by a divine force from the ground, gradually becoming torn apart.
There are deep ravines, which appear due to the abnormal shaking of the earth, covering all areas of the valley.
"There's another earthquake!"
Han Duping, Shangguan Qin and Ning Yao, who had experienced this before, felt the vibration in the ground and fled desperately.
"Get out of here quickly!"
Shangguanqin's fearful voice was filled with tears. She was the one who had truly witnessed the tragedy, and she had already anticipated what would happen next.
Rather than being captured and humiliated alive by a dark ghost, she was more afraid of the terrifying vines emerging from the ground and eating away her flesh and blood.
"If there's an earthquake next to the dead bones, life-threatening vines will rush out! I will die, and you can't run away!"
She screamed desperately at the Dark Ones.
Ning Yao, who was on the other side, also stopped entangled with the encirclers and said the same thing as Shangguan Qin, wanting those people to let them go quickly and let her leave the place first.
"After the earthquake, terror will emerge from the ground?"
Several small leaders of the dark ghosts looked at the fear on Shangguan Qin and Ning Yao's faces, as well as Han Duping's irritability and anxiety, and they didn't know whether to believe them or not.
at the same moment.
The man with a divine phoenix totem on his chest, like a skull wrapped in human skin, began to flap the wings of the divine phoenix on his chest desperately.
He immediately knew that time was running out, so he no longer dared to hesitate and rushed towards the deep valley as quickly as possible.
"Ouyang Duanhai! You are Ouyang Duanhai, how did you become like this?"
The leader of the dark ghost wearing a golden mask couldn't help but scream strangely when he saw the intruder who was nothing but skin and bones.
"Ouyang Duanhai?"
Shangguan Qin was stunned and suddenly looked at the person who suddenly broke in, staring at his face.
"Duan Hai? No, you are not him! You are definitely not him!"
Shangguanqin yelled like a crazy woman. She couldn't believe that her lover in Yushu Linfeng in the past had turned into the ghost he is now.
This time she volunteered to enter the Serenity Mountains because she had made an appointment with Ouyang Duanhai, and the two of them worked together to kill her ex-husband.
Ouyang Duanhai was the person who truly fell in love with her, the love of her life.
"Xiao, Xiaoqin?"
The person who came like a ghost seemed to have a spark of wisdom in her eyes when she called out the name "Duan Hai".
The visitor gathered the remaining willpower to look at her and struggled to confirm her identity. Gradually, in the depths of the visitor's chaotic eyes, a trace of excitement finally flashed, and shouted: "Get out of here! Xiaoqin, leave quickly.
This bloody Shura field! I, I will help you... survive!"
At this moment, he forgot to seek his last vestige of life and killed the Dark Ghost cultivator.
