The clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, the floating ice slowly dissipated, and the leaf blades fell together with the figure.
Yun Xi stood in front of Tongmu and said calmly: "You lose."
"Cough cough cough..."
Tongmu was lying on the ground, with another scar on his body, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely pale.
"I'm really unwilling..."
His voice seemed a little weak.
Yun Xi raised his sword: "I won't kill you, but you still have to suffer."
Tongmu and the others were able to close the Flower of the Other Side, and the force behind them should be quite large. There are powerful forces in the Tianling Continent that are not Tianling Alliance... This matter must be reported to the Tianling Alliance. As the task executor of this force, Tongmu naturally knows something.
No less.
A smile appeared on Tongmu's pale face. Even in this embarrassed look, he still looked at Yun Xi with a mocking look.
"Although you have won, you can't keep me."
Tongmu opened his palm, and there was a small jade in his palm. He squeezed it hard, and the jade shattered, and an extremely white light emitted from his hand, instantly covering the entire space.
"Suffer it!"
Yun Xi noticed that he was about to escape and immediately took action to stop him.
Wow!
Her palm passed through the afterimage of the Paulownia tree, and she missed it.
The white light dissipated, red light overflowed in the cave, the ground was covered with green leaves, and the paulownia trees were no longer visible.
"The art of space?"
Yun Xi frowned and was able to use his space ability to escape, which shows that the person behind Tong Mu is at least in the Luck Spirit Realm.
Time was urgent, so she did not dwell too much on the matter. She turned back and looked at the green leaves on the ground. Yun Xi waved her hand and pocketed all the leaf blades.
These leaf blades are of special quality. Although they are not spiritual weapons, they are not made of ordinary fine iron either. They are of extremely high quality. Even her spiritual sword can hardly damage them. Such weapons are unusual. Perhaps they can be used through these
Ye Ren found some clues.
Putting these blades away, Yun Xi continued to move forward.
After walking through the third cave, the road ahead seemed a bit long. Yun Xi passed through several bends and finally saw the exit.
Instead of walking in rashly, Yun Xi paused for a moment at the exit, letting her spiritual consciousness spread and confirming that there was no danger before she stepped in.
As soon as she entered this world, Yun Xi felt an indescribable strange aura. This aura was somewhat similar to the aura of death she felt when she first entered the desolate land, but there was also a trace of life in it.
There is a gentle breeze blowing underground, coming from all directions, and the slight pulling feeling seems to be sucking something out of Yun Xi's body.
The spiritual veins in his body beat and spiritual power flowed throughout his body. Yun Xi was not afraid of the strange things around him and stared ahead.
The red-glowing tree roots coil up from all directions, like winding snakes. They are either as strong as a barrel or as thin as a beard, and they gather towards the center to worship.
In the center of this cave, thousands of roots are condensed. These roots and branches are entangled with each other and condensed into a strange shape, like flowers and grass.
The flowers and plants stand facing down, and a red-haired girl floats quietly below. The red mist flows out of her body and is completely absorbed by the tree roots.
"This is...life energy and blood!"
Yimeng's exclamation echoed in Yun Xi's mind. Its purple eyes looked through Yun Xi's eyes and looked at the girl in front of her in shock.
"She is so powerful, even the Flame Lion, a heavenly beast in the Luck Spirit Realm, is not as good as her!"
When Yun Xi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. At the same time, she finally understood what this strange feeling was. This towering blood tree was sucking the blood of the child in front of her. The uneasiness she felt when she came in was because of its influence.<
/p>
Suck living things...
Yun Xi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. No wonder Yuan Huan had only bones left in just a few days. No wonder there was no living spirit in the deserted city. The creatures here probably feed on the blood of living creatures.
‘Who is this child? Is Tongmu keeping blocking me just so that this tree can completely absorb her?’
Yun Xi looked at the intertwined tree roots. Each one of them was blood-like red.
These... all come from this child's life force and blood?
Yun Xi was furious and wanted to save the child, but when she was five meters away from the center of the tree root, a transparent barrier blocked her.
There is also a formation here.
There are not only formations.
"Who are you?!"
After approaching the center of the tree roots, Yun Xi saw that under the floating figure, there was another figure hiding in the corner of the barrier. His aura was completely restrained. If he hadn't seen it with his eyes, Yun Xi wouldn't even know that there was something here.
Hiding someone.
Hearing Yun Xi's question, the man turned around slowly. He was a young man. He had long light blue hair, a handsome face, and a slightly pale face. He looked like a weak scholar all over his body.
Temperament.
When he saw Yun Xi, he rolled his eyes and his voice came out through the barrier: "Both Qingyan and Tongmu lost? In the late stage of Chuling, shouldn't... Do you still have helpers?"
His voice was also soft, and the rhythm of his words was neither fast nor slow, slightly soothing, but it brought great pressure to Yun Xi.
"Who are you?"
Yun Xi stared into his eyes.
"Me?" The young man smiled, "You can call me Feng Ming, but I prefer others to call me Master Feng."
"Master?" Yun Xi reacted instantly, "You arranged these formations?"
Feng Ming said: "It's just some small tricks. You can get here. It seems that you have quite a lot of attainments in formations."
Yun Xi looked up at the figure suspended in the air and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Feng Ming smiled: "Of course we destroyed this deserted city."
The sword light flashed, and Yun Xi held the Frost Sword tightly: "Destroy a dead city without killing people!"
Although she couldn't understand what Feng Ming and the others wanted to do, she could tell that they were sacrificing the child's life.
Yun Xi is still a kind person in essence. It would be fine if she didn't know about this matter. Now that she has seen it with her own eyes, how can she remain indifferent?
Feng Ming looked at her strangely: "There are always sacrifices in this world, not to mention..."
He raised his head and looked at the figure in mid-air.
"She was born for this. This is her responsibility and she cannot escape."
As he said that, Feng Ming showed a trace of doubt: "So it seems that you entered this city but don't know the foundation of this city?"
"At all?"
Yun Xi is puzzled. Desolate City is very famous in Tianling Continent. It is said in the world that Desolate City is one of the four most dangerous places in Tianling. The desolate fog can eat people's bones. Anyone who enters this city will die unless they are extremely powerful.
There is no escape from death.
But it seems that... no one has ever said why this desolate mist arises. Even Yun Xi didn’t know until he came that the birth of the desolate mist originally originated from the flowers of the other side in the deserted city.
How did the Flower of the Other Shore come into being? What about the bloody tree and red river in the city?
None of these have been mentioned among the public, and there are no rumors at all.
Is there any secret in it?
Seeing that Yun Xi was really deep in thought, Feng Ming was sure that this stupid young man had really barged in without knowing anything. He couldn't help but smile.
Feng Ming Youyou said: "The reason why Desolate City is known as the City of Death is because this blood tree requires the energy and blood of life-eating spirits to grow. Therefore, any living thing that enters this city will inevitably be attacked by those trees." "You can understand the mist as the poisonous gas released by this tree. It itself is not powerful, but relying on the characteristics of the mist and the small trees it derives, no one with luck can escape this city."<
/p>
Feng Ming was very generous and told Yun Xi everything he knew: "We came here this time to destroy this city. Destroying it is actually very simple, that is to satisfy its energy and blood needs. Once the blood tree
When the energy and blood absorbed by the living beings reaches saturation, the tree will wither and bear a Holy Spirit Fruit. After the fruit is produced, the tree will die."
He raised his head and looked at the child whose blood was greedily absorbed by the blood tree, with calm eyes: "Just as she was born to mature the blood tree, the mission of this blood tree is to bear the only fruit of the Holy Spirit in this life." "Once the Holy Spirit Fruit is born, all the trees and flowers in the deserted city will die, and the desolate fog will disappear from the world. From then on, there will only be three of the four dangerous places in Tianling, and no one will die because of this.
It will be reduced a lot."
Feng Ming turned to look at Yun Xi and said with a faint smile: "This is a good thing. The death of one person is used to exchange for a way for thousands of living beings in the future to live. What? It's so righteous and you want to stop it?"
Yun Xi's eyes were cold and unmoved, and he said: "In that case, why don't you sacrifice yourself? Even if your own energy and blood are not enough, what about Tongmu and Qingyan? And what about those people behind you? What? You
Do you have to kill a child to realize the righteousness you talk about?"
Yun Xi's words made Feng Ming's expression change slightly. He looked at Yun Xi quietly, and Yun Xi looked back at him coldly.
The two people's eyes met across the barrier, as if they were engaged in a fierce battle.
After a moment, Feng Ming smiled casually again, with a hint of joking at the corner of his mouth: "Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that the reason why the desolate fog in Desolate City has not appeared is because this child is in Yuanyuan.
Continuously provide vitality and blood to living beings. If this vitality and blood are cut off, thousands of flowers will bloom, the fog will fill again, and everyone in the city will die."
He thought: "I guess...you should have companions in the city, right?"
Yun Xi's eyes suddenly condensed, and she clenched the hand holding the Frost Sword hard.
Feng Ming smiled lightly: "So, you'd better leave. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to fight with you. Or..."
"Are you going to wait for the Holy Spirit Fruit to condense and then compete with me?"
Compared to Qingyan and Tongmu, Feng Ming seemed much calmer. He sat calmly in the barrier, not caring whether Yun Xi would believe his words or what actions she would take next.
"Yun Xi, why don't you... leave first and report this matter to the Tianling Alliance and leave it to the Tianling Alliance for resolution. With the strength of your top cultivators in the Tianling Continent, they don't have to be afraid even if the mist reappears.
Yes. This Feng Ming is an array mage, and the barrier in front of him is connected to the girl. Once the barrier is broken, the supply of energy and blood will also be cut off."
Yimeng was worried that Yun Xi would get involved, so he quickly tried to persuade her.
If what Feng Ming said is true, then once Yun Xi takes action, not only will she not be able to save the child, but she will even catch up with the three companions who came with her.
It has been with Yun Xi day and night for so many years, and it is clear that this owner who likes to be lazy, loves to play with women, and whose sexual orientation is a mystery is actually a beautiful woman with a kind heart.
In the past few years, she has helped many people, including Ye Nianhan, Li Zixiao, Lu Qi, You Tingjing, Qingchan... Even if she retreats at this time, no one will blame her.
Yun Xi held the sword tightly, her eyes locked on Feng Ming.
"We will meet again."
Yun Xi gritted his teeth and said.
Feng Ming chuckled: "I think so too."
Yun Xi looked up at the red-haired girl again, then turned and left.
"...save...save...me..."
I don't know if it was Yun Xi's illusion, but she seemed to have heard such a sentence. Her forward body suddenly paused, and then she took steps faster.
……
Yun Xi's figure quickly shuttled underground and soon arrived at the second cave.
Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao are still sitting here, their faces already looking very pale, but at the entrance opposite the cave, a petite figure is dancing with its fingers, forming beautiful marks.
The talisman appears, and this formation is being cracked quickly.
‘It seems that Xiaoying has defeated Qingyan.’
Although Yun Xi had expected this outcome, she was still relieved when she saw that Ying Nianling was safe and sound.
Ying Nian Ling took action, and the formation was easily broken within a short time. Although Ying Nian Ling's steps to break the formation were a bit cumbersome, she was able to cope with various situations. Even a nightmare beast, Yimeng, could do this naturally.
Ashamed.
The formation broke open, and the pressure on Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao suddenly disappeared. They opened their eyes, and their shoulders seemed to relax a lot.
"Yun Xi."
When Ying Nianling saw Yun Xi, she ran over happily and said to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi, I defeated that person!"
As he spoke, he pouted again, a little dissatisfied: "But he took out a strange thing and ran away."
Yunxi knew that Qingyan must have used space props to escape like Tongmu. The other party was obviously well prepared, and there was nothing he could do if he escaped.
She touched Ying Nianling's head and comforted: "It's okay, I also encountered an enemy over there, and he escaped."
At this time, everyone noticed that Yun Xi had broken through just like Ying Nianling, and his realm had reached the late stage of the First Spirit.
Li Zixiao's eyes were slightly lowered, and her fists hidden under her sleeves were slightly clenched. The gap between her and Yun Xi was getting wider and wider, and she had to work hard to keep up with her pace.
Xia Qingyao also showed obvious surprise. She was delicious, but she also really loved practicing. She had never fought against Yun Xi, but she could clearly feel the gap between herself and him.
Make her eager to catch up.
Only Ying Nianling was thinking silently in her heart.
‘This time I broke through before Yun Xi, hee hee hee!’
For her, breaking through before Yun Xi means being stronger than Yun Xi. What she pursues is not to surpass Yun Xi, but to be able to protect Yun Xi.
In Ying Nian Ling's world view, as long as she is stronger than Yun Xi, she can always protect her and then rely on her.
Yun Xi didn't know everyone's rich psychological activities, and said calmly: "Okay, I've checked here, there is no big problem. Let's go back quickly, there is no peace in this deserted city."
"Hmm."
The three of them did not doubt that he was there. Listening to Yun Xi's words, they began to leave the deserted city.
The moment they walked out of the tree hole, Feng Ming under the ground raised his eyes.
