The vibrations underfoot caused the snow to begin to disintegrate and collapse, the rocks rolled, the soil cracked, and dark, bottomless cracks appeared.
Centered on the mountain that was hit, thick cracks like spider webs appeared on the surface, which was shocking to look at, and streams of smoke were spitting out from the cracks.
Leyline!
It's ley lines!
At this moment, Cheng Lin relied on his familiarity with this area to instantly realize what was happening.
The peak that Bernard hit was the hub of the Dao Dao Sect's mountain protection formation. It was contaminated by Zhou Ming, destroyed and forced to close. Later, the entire sect was relocated and completely abandoned.
The killing array that existed thousands of years ago was now covered in dust.
It stands to reason that after thousands of years of decay and no one maintaining it, this killing array has long lost its effect. However, the era they are in is when spiritual energy recovery begins. Referring to the experience of the earth, spiritual energy recovery was first formed underground.
, and this is how the spirit stone veins were produced.
The Canglong Mountain Range under their feet is the continent's first spiritual vein, and the entire formation also relies on the energy provided by this mountain range.
But now, with the revival of spiritual energy, this mountain range must have accumulated a lot of spiritual energy.
It was nothing at first, but Bernard's blow shook the joint again.
If we make an analogy, the entire mountain range is a high-pressure boiler, then this mountain peak is the air valve. Now that the air valve is broken, the underground spiritual energy is about to spurt out, causing the earth to shake.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't be a bad thing, but Cheng Lin clearly noticed that a strong sense of crisis was rising. Under the ground, it seemed as if a rusty beast raised its head and woke up.
"Dao Dao Sect's mountain-protecting formation! Bernard may have triggered this formation by some mistake!"
Cheng Lin took a deep breath, and the pores all over his body tightened.
He remembered that at its peak, this formation could kill demon kings, or in other words, Mahayana monks. Although it was in disrepair and no one was controlling it, its power was bound to be greatly reduced. But the problem was that they were far more powerful than the others.
Not a Mahayana monk!
…
…
"boom!"
While thinking, the mountain peak finally erupted like a volcano, spewing out a strong aura. The aura had been sealed in dust for too many years. Along with the dust and ash from the ground, thick smoke billowed out, and the sound was extremely terrifying.
Bernard froze on the spot, his expression changing several times. He already understood that he might have triggered something terrible.
Dirang, who was originally at the edge of the mountain range and had not left completely, saw this scene. The sword in his hand fell to the ground again, and six hands were closed at the same time, with a look of fear on his face.
Combined with the words of "Senior Cheng" before, Dirang's first reaction was that Bernard's actions had aroused the ascendant, and now, the strong murderous intention that came from nowhere was proof of the other party's anger.
Thinking of the sword that cut off the continent before, Di Rang almost lost his mind. He kept muttering apologies and words like "don't care about my business" in his mouth. He kept running and ran towards the distance, trying to escape from here.
Bai Ye, who had already left one step early, was just about to take his men to another place to explore. Suddenly he felt something. He turned around and looked at the changes in the mountains behind him in astonishment. He seemed to have thought of something and did not dare to stay longer. He hurriedly said: "Let's go! Stop looking.
!Let’s leave immediately!”
In the mountains, seeing Bernard stop, Li Yang clutched the thread of the jade medal in distress, but did not dare to think too much. He turned his head and turned into a ball of fire, using his fire escape to quickly escape to Tongguan.
Bernard slowed down for a moment. By the time he reacted, the sense of danger was so overwhelming that he didn't dare to be distracted at all.
As the earth shook, countless turbid air rose from the ground and enveloped the entire mountain range, naturally surrounding Bernard as well.
The rich aura was the only one he had ever seen in his life, and it was almost so strong that it was choking.
The surrounding area was suddenly filled with a gray aura, cutting off his vision and trapping him inside, while the countless absent murderous intentions seemed to have become reality.
"bass……"
Suddenly, a low sword cry resounded in the fog, and from a bottomless valley, a rusty, wet, almost unrecognizable iron sword flew out of the fog, with an awe-inspiring look.
With murderous intent, he attacked Bernard!
Bernard hurriedly waved his scepter, condensing a huge wall of water. Afterwards, he saw the sword that seemed to be rotting hit the wall of water, but did not break through. It actually collapsed. After all, it was buried.
It took too long, and after a violent impact, it was no longer able to support it.
However, this did not let Bernard breathe a sigh of relief. Although the sword shattered, it triggered a strong explosion, blasting through the water wall, and the air wave lifted him more than ten meters away.
explode!
This thing will explode!
Bernard suddenly felt infinite uneasiness, and then, as expected, he heard endless "chun" and "chun" sounds coming from all directions, and countless dust-covered iron swords that were about to rot flew up and broke through the fog.
It attacked him, then exploded and turned into iron filings, but it also gave Bernard a heavy blow.
Each explosion is not too strong, only about the effect of a fifth-level blow. However, when there are thousands of such explosions, or even hundreds of thousands... just thinking about it, it already makes Bernard's scalp tingle.
numb!
…
In the distance, Cheng Lin's situation was not much better.
The moment the killing array opened, he was also attacked.
The sword formation here was not the one on Wutong Immortal Island. His He Jian was completely useless here and he could only resist and dodge. However, even so, it made him miserable.
"boom……"
After using his indestructible golden body to withstand one round of explosions, Cheng Lin looked at his tattered clothes and completely gave up on resisting.
"Sure enough... I really guessed it. After so many years, this killing formation is still so powerful. No wonder the people of the Dao Sect believed that once the Demon King dared to attack forcefully, he would be counterattacked. If it was in full power,
During this period, the Mahayana monks fell into the formation and were about to be worn to death! In comparison, the Immortal Killing Formation set up by the Federals under Tongguan was simply a toy..."
Cheng Lin smiled bitterly, feeling frightened and sighing at the same time.
Compared to the excitement in his mind, his body was extremely excited.
The concentration of the spiritual energy sprayed out was terrifyingly high. Every time he took a breath, it was as if he had swallowed a bottle of medicine. No, it was even stronger than oral medicine. It was almost the same as using an injection.
He felt that the pores all over his body were opening, and the spiritual energy was drilling into his body crazily, being refined and absorbed. In a few breaths, Cheng Lin recovered about 10% of his spiritual energy reserves.
"Whoosh!"
While thinking, a killing sword struck again. Cheng Lin did not retreat into the spirit world. Instead, a fire meteor melted the snow on the ground, and then turned on "liquefaction" to integrate himself into it.
Try to avoid it this way.
Bernard in the distance also used the same method as if he had a tacit understanding.
However, as soon as Bernard merged into the water, pale flames spurted out from those cracks!
It seemed to be an underground fire. The temperature was extremely terrifying. The moment it appeared, it erupted and ignited the entire mountain range. The snow melted instantly and rose into mist, and the rocks became extremely hot.
Bernard wailed and was forced to withdraw from the liquefaction. At the same time, he was shocked to find that his abilities were greatly weakened by the fire.
"Is this still possible?"
Cheng Lin was not much better than him. He regained his figure and didn't even dare to stand on the ground. The high temperature made him sweat. He could only hold the He sword tightly, activate the "Sword Controlling Technique", fly into the air, hover, and avoid those people.
Attack flying from the valley.
Fortunately, the killing array had been covered in dust for too long, and its power had weakened a lot. Cheng Lin was in mid-air again, nimbly dodging, sometimes opening up the spirit world, hiding, and flying with sword skills when he emerged, and he gradually got used to it.
"I wonder what the situation is like over there with Bernard."
Cheng Lin finally got around to caring about that side.
After thinking about it, he simply flew over with his sword.
At the same time, he turned on his spiritual tentacles and looked around. He was surprised to find that he and Bernard were the only two people left in the mountains.
"Where is Li Yang? He ran away?"
Cheng Lin was surprised and looked at Bernard, and then a thought came to his mind.
Now seems to be a good time for revenge. Under normal circumstances, he would never be able to defeat Bernard. But now, Bernard is surrounded and embarrassed, and he has the advantage. Moreover, this rich spiritual energy can also support him to slash out.
Even if a few swords are lost, they can be quickly replenished.
"Well...wait a moment...don't be impatient. We'll wait until his injuries become more severe and all the cards are used up."
Cheng Lin suppressed his impulse and simply opened the spiritual world in mid-air, hiding and entering, leaving only a tiny hole, and observed Bernard with his spiritual thread.
The sword array attacked very quickly. Under Cheng Lin's watch, Bernard soon became obviously exhausted and wounds appeared on his body. Then, he used various magical weapons and displayed several supernatural powers.
Cheng Lin clicked his tongue in amazement, but it was only a brief respite. Under the killing array, in just a few minutes, Bernard's body was covered in blood, and it was too horrible to look at.
A dignified seventh-grade peak person suddenly became so miserable.
Cheng Lin couldn't help but thought leisurely: Maybe I can kill him with just this sword array without me taking action.
…
In the mountains.
Bernard panted heavily and waved his staff tiredly. In these short minutes, he had faced tens of thousands of attacks. He had exhausted all his trump cards and could only hold on. Fortunately, there was aura around him.
The concentration was extremely high, so that he would not exhaust his spiritual energy reserves, but even so, he was already at the end of his strength.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Bernard instinctively waved his staff and released a wall of water, but surprisingly found that it was not exploded.
He was stunned for a moment and did not react. It was not until a few seconds later that he realized that there was no movement around him.
it is finally over?
Bernard thought in disbelief, and immediately he laughed nervously: "No more! No more! Come again! Come and kill me again if you have the ability! Come and kill me!"
He yelled, since he has been practicing so far, when has he ever been so frustrated?
Just now, he almost thought he was going to die here today.
Now, everything is finally over, and his suppressed emotions suddenly burst out.
"Oh? Are you sure you want me to kill you?"
Suddenly, Bernard's smile froze, and he heard a leisurely voice appear in the air.
He raised his eyes and saw that there was nothing but blood in front of him. He smeared the blood and saw clearly that there was a sword floating in mid-air, examining his "black robe".
"You...you...why are you here?!"
Bernard stumbled back, almost falling, and asked in a trembling voice.
Cheng Lin looked down at him and smiled brightly: "Why can't I be here?"
"You...are you okay?"
Bernard looked at him in disbelief.
Cheng Lin chuckled lightly and did not explain: "What do you think? Some people are really weird. They can live, but they want to be killed... Since you said so, then I will do a good deed and make it happen."
You."
"you……"
Bernard's eyes widened.
Then, I saw a brilliant sword light slashing down from mid-air!
"no!!"
Bernard roared angrily, as if he already knew that he would not survive. He suddenly pressed his hand on the top of the "Sea King's Scepter", and then grabbed it hard. The gem like a pearl in the deep sea immediately cracked, and an extremely terrifying force burst out!
Before the sword light arrived, Bernard's body was blown into two pieces, and the remaining power remained unabated, attacking in all directions!
At this moment, Bernard smashed the "scepter" with his own hands, and with the gesture of dying together, he played the last trump card of exchanging lives for lives!
In mid-air, Cheng Lin's demeanor suddenly changed, he quickly opened the spiritual world, and his body rolled backwards into the light gate.
And then……
A violent explosion sounded, and a "mushroom cloud" rose into the sky accompanied by fire and fog.
…
Outside the Canglong Mountains.
The practitioners from the Federation and Special Division who rushed from Tongguan had just arrived at the edge of the mountain range and were about to rush into it, when they witnessed the birth of a "mushroom cloud" with an aura of destruction. After that, everyone stopped
steps.
The head of the Thirteenth Division, He Shouwu, swallowed hard, then retracted the leg he had already taken, and murmured:
