"Everyone scatter, all suspended in the air."
"Strengthen the protective spirit shield and don't touch anything on the bridge!"
Wang Lang and Quan Jiuxing, who were watching this scene in front, were so furious that their eyes were about to burst into tears. The sudden scene caught them off guard and they had no idea what was happening.
But they soon realized that this was a sign of poisoning. The first monks who died in their sight were the ones who lightly supported the chains while their bodies were shaking for various reasons.
But it was obviously too late for them to speak. The poison had such tyrannical power that they had never seen or heard of before. In just a few breaths, more than twenty people disappeared.
In the process of passing the first few levels, the attacks came from all directions, and there was no such thing as poisonous objects around them. Especially since they had already walked on the wooden planks for several miles, a large number of disciples died in a short period of time.
This made Wang Lang and Quan Jiuxing's hearts bleed. These people were cultivated by the sect at great cost and over decades, and yet they were reduced to ashes in a moment, and they had no idea what had happened.
"How is this going?"
Wang Lang's eyes were red, and he was floating in the air, his heart filled with rage. However, those strange black eagles refused to disperse or retreat, and still roared towards him.
With his grief and rage mixed together, the power of his every move had increased several times, and with one strike, dozens of flying swords gleaming with cold light would fly out, followed by a rain of blood that fell from the sky.
Hearing the angry roar that Wang Lang squeezed out of his throat, Quan Jiuxing's cheeks twitched. He just took a quick glance and found that in the short moment just now, about thirteen or fourteen Taixuan Sect monks had died. He was searching for the cause like a vicious wolf.
But to their disappointment, no matter how they released their spiritual sense, no other living creatures appeared except the strange eagle in the sky and the golden snake below.
After making sure there were no ambushes around, the two quickly placed their spiritual sense on the chains. After a moment, they withdrew their spiritual sense with grim expressions.
"Only on the iron chains within a ten-foot range will there be a faint spiritual energy. This spiritual energy is used to set up an ambush and conceal the breath. It is not aggressive at all. The purpose is to hide the poison underneath."
Wang Lang spoke word by word, and Bai Senlin's teeth were chattering.
"Is this the new method used in the next level? It's too despicable! This kind of spiritual energy is extremely weak and it is difficult to detect in our large-scale attack. Even for me, it is extremely difficult to find it without a careful search!"
Quan Jiuxing's handsome face had long lost its former gentleness, and it was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.
"Why do I think it's man-made? This spiritual energy is different from the spiritual energy in this world."
Wang Lang suddenly turned his head and looked at Quan Jiuxing.
"I have the same feeling, but who can do it here? Could it be that they also know the secrets here?"
Quan Jiuxing was fending off the annoying attacks from all directions while his face was full of confusion.
He simply didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world. This was the first time they used the power of the Five Elements to deal with the Wangliang Sect. Could it be that someone with more powerful means than theirs had appeared and was quietly doing something in front of them
However, they did not realize that amidst the explosion of magic in the sky, two streams of spiritual power were quietly approaching, and their target was exactly what they had been holding in their hands - the blue diamond crystal.
At this time, five meters ahead, Li Yan, who was hiding in the light band diaphragm, was carefully releasing two strands of spiritual power. He had been waiting for an opportunity. The twelve poisons that he had previously deployed, in addition to killing some of the enemy's men, also had the effect of disrupting the enemy's formation.
"It's right now, when their minds are excited!" Li Yan said to himself while carefully controlling the spiritual energy.
He wanted to destroy the balance of the five elements in the opponent's blue diamond crystal, but since the two magic weapons were always held in the hands of two foundation-building masters, it was almost a pipe dream for his spiritual power to get closer.
Li Yan could only create opportunities for himself, that is, to create chaos and then take advantage of the situation.
Li Yan calculated the distance of five meters and estimated that as long as he was not discovered when opening the diaphragm door, once his spiritual power was released, he only needed a surprise attack and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would arrive in an instant.
But in order to be more certain, Li Yan still carefully controlled his spiritual power to approach in order to obtain a better attack distance.
"Four zhang... three zhang... two zhang..."
Just as Li Yan manipulated the spiritual energy to get closer, Wang Lang's eyes suddenly narrowed!
At the same time, Quan Jiuxing suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction. The sudden movements of the two of them made Li Yan's heart suddenly tremble.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!"
Just when the two spiritual powers were close to reaching more than ten feet, the two men suddenly seemed to check something, and their eyes and spiritual consciousness instantly swept towards where Li Yan was hiding.
Li Yan dared not to be negligent. The spiritual power in his hands surged wildly, and the two streams of spiritual power instantly shot out like wild horses.
"It's indeed strange. I want to see what kind of shameful tricks are hidden in this level!"
Wang Lang shouted loudly, and a beam of sword light shot out.
Almost at the same time, Quan Jiuxing's face was gloomy as he stretched out his hand like the wind. A strange crescent-shaped seal struck towards the place where Li Yan was hiding as fast as lightning.
The two spiritual powers released by Li Yan, at their shout, were like frightened rabbits and shot off into the air beside the two of them.
The two spiritual powers almost brushed past their bodies as they flew out. They also felt a strong force from the two powers, but they did not sense any magical fluctuations.
This made the two of them stunned. The opponent just used pure attack? This way, even the spiritual power shield could not be broken at all.
But at this moment, two streams of magic power collapsed around them with a "bang". However, the next moment, Wang Lang and the others' faces changed again. Those collapsed spiritual powers seemed to be attracted by something and rushed directly to the blue diamond crystal in their hands! The speed was so fast that they could not come over at all.
As the spiritual power dissipated, it instantly poured into the blue diamond crystal. They only felt a surge in the five elements space within the blue diamond crystal in their hands. Before the two of them could make a decision, the situation in the space of this passage had suddenly changed.
Then all kinds of exclamations were heard. The two looked in the direction of the sounds and were frightened to death. A black shadow in the sky behind them was flying towards them at an incredible speed.
"What exactly is going on?"
Wang Lang had long lost his former handsome look. His face was ferocious and his roars resounded through the heavens and earth.
"Is this the consequence of the hidden attack?"
Quan Jiuxing muttered to himself as he looked at the huge black shadow that was about to come and press down on him.
The two of them had long forgotten the blue diamond crystals in their hands. Just as everyone was screaming in despair, something unexpected happened in the space again.
A deafening roar came from above their heads. Everyone hurriedly shifted their gaze from the sky behind them to the sky above, only to see a huge ball of yellow light rushing towards them.
In their astonished and somewhat desperate gazes, the ball of yellow light quickly expanded in their sight and then occupied their entire field of vision...
After a loud bang, Wang Lang and Quan Jiuxing and other cultivators looked around blankly. They had actually arrived inside a yellow sphere. Looking at the huge black shadow that was quickly spreading across the top of the sphere, everyone felt relieved for some reason.
It was all like a dream, a series of changes, they had no idea what was happening, poisoning, death, the two captains inexplicably attacking one place.
Then the sky suddenly changed, a huge black shadow approached rapidly from behind, and then it was covered by a huge yellow sphere. It all happened too fast.
"Quick, quick, Lingjing!"
Just as the cultivators were stunned, Wang Lang and Quan Jiuxing exclaimed at the same time. They hurriedly looked at the blue diamond crystals in their hands, and in a very short time, they each took out a green gourd with their other hands.
The two of them reacted quickly enough and responded in a very short time. They knew that all this was caused by those two spiritual powers.
But before the gourd lid was opened, two deep voices sounded from behind them. When they looked, their faces instantly became distorted. Behind them, two earth platforms had risen up.
The huge black shadow above their heads was getting thicker and thicker. Everyone in the ball understood what all this meant, and their faces changed drastically...
After Li Yan's attack, he sensed two powerful forces coming towards him along the source of his spiritual power. He dared not stop for a moment and instantly closed the gap on the semicircular arch.
At the moment of closing the gap, the light bands hit by the two huge forces shook, and he quickly escaped from the light band membrane, not daring to use his spiritual sense to detect what was going on inside.
By the time he came out of the light band membrane, his body was already soaked. This ambush was simple, but he was stuck in the membrane for half a cup of tea. He had to circulate his spiritual power all the time to maintain the five elements space in the diamond crystal, and nearly 80% of his mana was consumed.
At this moment, the light of the new "Ghost Car Talisman" on his body had dimmed, and it was obvious that its power was about to be exhausted.
Li Yan had previously conducted experiments and found that the blue diamond crystal was more compatible with the mana cultivated by the Guishui Sutra. As long as his mana approached, it would be automatically absorbed. So he came up with a plan to destroy the blue diamond crystal.
Li Yan took out a few pills and threw them all into his mouth, then took out two spirit stones and sat cross-legged on the ground.
A quarter of an hour later, his complexion recovered a little and he put away the spirit stone in his hand. Now time was running out and he did not have much time to recover.
He took out the blue diamond crystal again, and floated to stand on the pure white light band behind him again. His spiritual sense probed into the core of the diamond crystal, and then his spiritual sense withdrew from the diamond crystal.
"All ten arches inside are black. What does this mean? Could it be that the huge black shadow has arrived ahead of time and swallowed everyone up? But why hasn't this pure white light band disappeared yet?"
After thinking about it, Li Yan gave up the idea of entering to explore. The ten semicircular arches were all black, and he didn't have the courage to go in. If he rushed into the darkness, it would be tragic.
"We have to go look for Senior Brother Baili and the others, and then rush back as soon as possible. Although Senior Sister Six and the others know the whole story, the situation is extremely bad."
When Li Yan thought of this, he swept his spiritual sense across, and after confirming that the purple light band was still there, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because another very close yellow light band had disappeared.
Then Li Yan looked in one direction. He saw several light bands over there in his consciousness, but they were too far away and he could only sense them vaguely. In a flash, Li Yan's figure disappeared in the distance, leaving only a pure white light band, which was still dancing in the colorful space.
What Li Yan didn’t know was that shortly after he left, a roar of extreme grief and anger came from the white light band.
"Why? Why on earth is this happening? They say everything was planned, but why is this happening in the end?"
Wang Lang was standing in the yellow sphere, covered in blood, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. There was a scar between his chest and abdomen, which went deep into his internal organs, and the beating organs inside could be faintly seen.
At this time, he was still holding a long sword in his right hand, but his eyes were looking around blankly, as if he was unaware of his own injuries.
The place was already littered with corpses, and behind him were only three Ten-Step Courtyard monks left. All three of them were injured and had sad looks on their faces.
Except for nearly half of the corpses of the monks from the Ten-Step Courtyard, the rest were the corpses of the Taoists from the Taixuan Sect. Among them, one was holding a blue diamond crystal and pointing forward with one hand, and the direction he was pointing was exactly where Wang Lang was standing at the moment.
There was confusion on his handsome face, he was stabbed by several swords and fell in a pool of blood, his eyes were still open when he died. He was a full nine-star, a genius of his generation, and he died here.
At this time, the huge black shadow above the sphere had formed into a thick liquid and was about to break through the wall. On the wall of the sphere in front of Wang Lang and his companions, a rippling wave was slowly forming waves.
