Xu Chen and a group of people were at ease in the black mist, roaring in and out of the formation like a group of bandits.
Under his powerful and keen spiritual sense, he encountered groups of spirit beasts that were not too strong but had just enough numbers to deal with them.
After half an hour, everyone has gained a lot.
The big soul beads were naturally collected by Xu Chen and several senior brothers and sisters from the Taiyuan Sect, while the smaller ones that looked down upon were left to Song Qingshi, Zhou Ding and a group of familiar casual cultivators to pick them up.
Everyone is happy since then. The group of casual cultivators' good impression of Taiyuan Sect has been growing steadily. They have been flattering each other all the way. They have gained more and more, and the atmosphere has become more and more harmonious.
About a mile ahead, there is an eye of the Five Elements Formation. There is an elder from the Danyuan Realm of the Yuqing Palace guarding it. There are also seven or eight disciples from the True Yuan Realm responsible for defense and assistance. The nearby monsters have almost been cleared away.
.
Xu Chen therefore reminded: "There is an eye formation not far ahead. There are not many monsters, so we will not go through it and change the direction!"
"good!"
Just when everyone agreed to follow and were about to turn around, Xu Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the formation again.
"Boom~~"
Accompanied by a violent vibration, the light beam emitted by the formation eye suddenly shook violently. With a popping sound, lightning and thunder, the ground near the formation eye began to collapse.
The Danyuan Realm elder who was guarding the formation had been holding on for a day and a night. He was exhausted. He thought that the black smoke had begun to weaken, so he relaxed a little. He sat cross-legged in the light pillar and closed his eyes to meditate. Suddenly he was shocked by the light pillar.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, he screamed and was ejected out of the light pillar, screaming as he fell down.
The sudden change caused several True Yuan Realm disciples who were assisting in the defense to panic instantly, and they were at a loss as they screamed in surprise.
"No, the formation is out of control!" Xu Chen's face changed drastically.
"Hoang~~"
Almost at the same time, a dull, thunderous sound came from the ground, and as the light beam shook violently again, the ground at the center of the formation collapsed completely, and an eight-legged giant spider covered in a black metallic carapace rushed out of the soil.
When he got out of the ground, he opened his mouth and spit out a stream of black light, which turned into a large net and covered a group of monks in Yuqing Hall.
"Brother and sister, go and help!"
Xu Chen was shocked and turned pale. His sword transformed into a streak of light and he galloped towards the center of the formation. A group of people quickly followed with their swords.
This giant spider appeared very suddenly, just at the moment when the Jade Qing Temple monks guarding the formation were most relaxed.
Not even Zhenjun Xuanchen, who was stationed at Taiyuan Gate hundreds of miles away, never thought of it.
At this time, Zhenjun Xuanchen also thought that the overall situation was settled, had put away his spiritual consciousness, and was working hard to refining the soul beads and spirit stones to replenish the losses.
After all, a single spiritual storm almost depleted his stored spiritual energy, and the long days and nights of continuous spiritual observation also made him feel exhausted.
Therefore, except for a few Danyuan realm monks who suppressed the formation, almost everyone else was not aware of the changes in the formation.
One of the formation eyes lost control, and the other formation eyes began to vibrate violently in an instant. As a result, the entire Five Elements Formation flickered with light and shadow, as if there were signs of collapse at any time.
Although Xu Chen saw the change, he was still a mile away after all. He did not have the speed of the monks in the Danyuan Realm and the Spiritual Transformation Realm. It would take at least dozens of breaths to get over.
Therefore, in his spiritual consciousness, he could only watch the black light spider web spewed out by the giant spider, which instantly covered several Yuqing Temple monks.
"Ah~~"
Accompanied by several screams, the people wrapped in the spider web became silent for an instant. They were quickly dragged to the ground by the giant spider, and then cut into pieces by the hook legs like a giant scythe.
Another one was directly stuffed into the giant spider's mouth and swallowed whole.
Xu Chen's expression changed drastically. According to his perception, the fluctuations in the souls of these monks completely disappeared the moment they were touched by the spider webs.
Therefore, he can deduce that this giant spider is not only powerful physically, but the black light spider silk it spits out can also attack the soul.
He recalled the encounter with the giant spider in the depths of the cave, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
If he hadn't released the two-headed giant bat to fight and break the giant spider's web, once he and Lan You were wrapped in it, the end would have been equally miserable, with both souls and souls destroyed.
"Third Elder..."
Just when Xu Chen was out of reach, a black silhouette suddenly rushed from the black mist to the center of the formation, swooped down and grabbed the Danyuan realm elder who had fallen to the ground. At the same time, the flying sword emitted a dazzling light in the air and turned into a ball.
The electric light hit the giant spider's back hard.
"Boom~"
Amid the terrifying shock, the giant spider was struck by the electric light and trembled all over, staggering back a few steps and almost falling back into the breached Formation Eye Cave.
The moment the sword light bounced back, the woman in black had already risen into the air again.
"Hoang~"
The angry giant spider let out a soul-shaking low roar, and the rolling black mist around it stirred up a visible ripple like a lake, rolling towards the woman in black and drowning her.
"Ah~"
The woman in black was in the air and was caught in the ripples in the blink of an eye. She staggered and groaned as if she was drunk. She fell down as soon as her body stagnated.
"What a powerful divine soul attack!"
Behind Xu Chen, the senior brother, second senior sister, and third senior brother all turned pale almost at the same time, and the flying swords under their feet shook and trembled, and they almost fell with them.
At this time, they were still dozens of feet away from the formation eye, and could not see clearly what was happening. They only knew that the light at the formation eye was shaking and shaking, and something major must have happened.
Song Qingshi and a group of Kaiyuan Realm casual cultivators who were hundreds of feet behind were even more unbearable. They screamed and fell into the rolling black mist like dumplings.
"Junior brother, be careful!" the senior brother yelled in fear.
"Brother and sister, please hurry up and send a message to the Great Elder for help. Once the formation is broken, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Xu Chen's voice came from far away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Because of Lan You's sudden appearance and attack, the giant spider instantly changed its attack target. Instead of continuing to destroy the formation, it waved several death-like giant scythe claws and pounced on the two falling Lan You.
.
But just when their lives were in danger, a sharp sword light roared over and struck heavily on one of the giant legs that had been raised high.
"Boom~"
A terrifying aura exploded again, the flying sword flew out, and a gap was opened in one of the giant spider's legs. The scattered carapace turned into black smoke and decomposed, and billowing black gas instantly emitted from the wound.
"Hoang~"
Being attacked again, the giant spider became even more angry. It roared and turned its head suddenly, with two pairs of huge blood-red compound eyes on its head staring in a certain direction.
A moment later, a figure rushed out from the billowing black mist. It was Xu Chen who launched the attack from a hundred feet away.
One person and one spider finally face each other face to face.
The giant spider seemed stunned for a moment, then suddenly roared and spat out a stream of black light from its mouth.
Xu Chen also briefly felt dazed. This big spider looked very familiar, and it looked almost exactly the same as the one he saw deep in the cave last time.
Looking at the giant spider's mood and attitude, he instantly concluded that this was the big spider that jumped into the black wind vortex last time.
When enemies meet, they will naturally be extremely jealous.
When Xu Chen summoned the two-headed demon bat to destroy the giant spider's nest, a large number of descendants and spider eggs were destroyed, and even the nest collapsed and was buried.
But Xu Chen didn't die. Unexpectedly, the giant spider didn't die either. It actually resurrected and broke through the formation to break out of the ground.
What's even more frightening is that the strength of this giant spider is obviously stronger than the last breath. Just the moment their eyes met, Xu Chen felt like a needle pricking his soul, and he felt a sharp pain. If it weren't for the blue light vase,
Stabilizing his soul, he is absolutely as completely out of control as Lan You now.
The black light that hit his face turned into a giant net, and it was in front of Xu Chen in an instant.
Xu Chen had nowhere to dodge, so he had no choice but to run the Taixu Demon Refining Technique. As the blue light vase in the sea of consciousness suddenly flashed with thunder, the pores all over his body instantly spurted out dots of blue starlight, which formed around his body.
A layer of blue starlight clouds flowed around it.
This is Xu Chen's attempt, and of course he is somewhat confident.
Although he cannot actively release the blue light aquarium to the outside of the body for protection, this blue starlight is very mysterious. If it forms a vortex, it can drag the mysterious water lotus and the ancient beast into the bottle, so he concluded that it can also
Block the giant spider's web that annihilates the soul.
What's more, even if the blue starlight cannot be blocked, he firmly believes that he will not lose his soul, because the blue light vase has been integrated with his soul. Although this giant spider is terrifying, compared with the ancient ferocious beast, it is completely useless.
The difference between a firefly and the sun is not worth mentioning at all.
Sure enough, Xu Chen guessed correctly.
The moment the giant spider's almost invincible black light spider web encountered the blue starlight surrounding Xu Chen's body, it was like encountering a solid layer of defense. It was unable to get close. Instead, under the flow of starlight, it began to explode.
Sparks of light and shadow flashed out, and then one by one they began to melt and scatter.
When Xu Chen saw that it was effective, his confidence suddenly skyrocketed. He pressed the seal with both hands forward, and the flying sword's light surged, turning into a giant lightsaber ten feet in size. It struck the giant spider again with the force of wind and thunder.
This is the built-in attack formation of this second-grade flying sword, called Wind and Thunder Slash. As long as the vitality is enough to support it, it can launch the strongest attack equivalent to that of a late-stage True Yuan realm monk.
"Boom~"
In the dazzling brilliance, the spiritual light exploded on the giant spider like a ball of light.
The formation's light beam flashed crazily, and when the light dissipated, one of the big spider's legs was completely severed, and its body lay heavily on the ground.
"Hoang~~"
In pain, the giant spider once again sprayed out a burst of black light. Xu Chen ignored it at all, and the flying sword once again rose into the air and roared down.
"Boom~"
There was another loud noise, and the giant spider was cut back a few steps, and half of its body fell into the cave again. However, several giant scythe-like claws were frantically pulling at the surroundings, and the popping aura continued to explode.
The array's beams of light shook violently and were about to shatter.
