Li Hechi and others couldn't help but hold their breath.
This was the first time they saw Xia Fan's full firepower - thunder and projectiles continued to penetrate deeply into the statue, as if they were trying their best to push away many obstacles. Although the speed was many times slower, it was still faster than the first time on the tree boat. It's much faster when you encounter it. According to this trend, as long as dozens of breaths of time pass, the alchemy technique will be able to hit the target.
At this moment, the stone sculpture raised its head toward the sky.
Its pitch-black hood slowly fell down, revealing a head of straight long hair, or threads.
Li suddenly remembered that Luo Qingqing had seen such a line before - it connected most of the living people on the tree boat, and as long as someone died, it would bring a steady stream of energy to it.
It turns out... is that evil hair
She glanced at her chest subconsciously.
Is there an invisible black thread connecting me at this moment
When the statue's head was completely raised, the hands covering the face quietly moved away from the gap. Through the gap, Xia Fan glimpsed many pairs of squirming eyes—
In an instant, an extremely ominous omen surged in his heart!
Barely able to think, he leaned back and dived towards the outside of the temple.
At the same time, strong winds rose, and the dark clouds in the sky suddenly condensed into a pillar of cloud and mist and fell towards the stone statue!
"Chi!" Li shouted.
The dragon girl, who was shaken by the wind in mid-air, shook her head repeatedly, "No! I can't control this - it's not a real wind!"
As the clouds continued to pour in, the stone statue itself began to change from black to gray. In less than a few dozen breaths, the clouds above the head were swept away, and a touch of fish belly white was revealed on the sky.
Only then did people notice that it was already close to dawn.
The strong wind quickly subsided, and Chi, who finally managed to stabilize his body, no longer dared to stay in the air for long, and quickly fell back to the ground, "What happened just now?"
This strange storm came and went quickly. It not only swept away the lightning and thunder, but also swept away the water in the temple. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some moisture in the gaps between the stone bricks, it would be hard to imagine that seawater had spewed out all over the sky here before.
"I don't know." Xia Fan also came closer. If he hadn't made a decisive decision to stop the technique just now, he might have been directly involved in the cloud pillar. After all, the dragon girl who didn't rely on the wind to fly almost fell, let alone him who still needed to flap his wings. "I'm afraid those dark clouds are not for the purpose of casting the Great Desolate Night, but for the Gate Beyond the Boundary."
"Look," Yu Linglong reminded, "Kaiyang Envoy seems to have recovered!"
Indeed, Xia Fan focused his gaze, and now there was only a little mud left in the big pit, and both the stone statue Xiegui and the figure of Kaiyang Envoy were clearly distinguishable. The circle of sluggish territory seemed to fade away with the fading of the statue, and the imprisoned fish also lay in the shallow puddles and stopped moving. The previously lifelike stone sculpture now became pale and stiff, as if it had gone through thousands of years in an instant and completely turned into a real statue.
Luo Yunzheng was obviously a little confused. He didn't seem to understand why the bottom of the pit, which was still covered with seawater just now, suddenly changed back to the way it was when it exploded.
Click.
The crisp cracking sound brought him back to reality.
I saw cracks on the stone statue.
By the way... I was fighting an evil spirit just now, but I didn't know what kind of evil spell was involved, and everything around me suddenly became extremely slow. But now the five senses and actions have returned to normal, as if all the previous encounters were a dream.
Could it be that Xia Fan helped him get rid of the illusion
Luo Yunzheng no longer hesitated and used the "virtual, real and invisible" to hit the evil spirit.
This time nothing could stop him.
The heavy Qi Condensation Cube landed heavily on the top of the stone statue, instantly smashing it to pieces!
"Is this the end?" Li frowned.
"It doesn't look like it..." Xia Fan replied with a solemn expression. King Yong probably knew the details of this statue, so he chose to send it to Yueying Temple. The first praying statue of a woman in black robe is indeed strange, but it is also a "strong shield" that is fixed in place. Although it is difficult to hurt it, it is no problem to run away. If it were just like this, it really wouldn't fit in with King Yong's final arrogance.
Sure enough, when the smoke gradually dissipated, Luo Yunzheng suddenly showed a horrified expression!
He waved his hands quickly, displaying layers of barriers in front of him, and at the same time retreated several steps back!
Soon everyone also saw what Kaiyang Envoy saw -
A girl about the same height as Chi.
"Is this—an evil spirit?" Li and others' eyes widened unconsciously.
She has long hair that is disproportionate to her body shape. It stretches from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. At a glance, it looks like an ink-stained cloak. Her skin also seems to be made of obsidian, with a smooth and transparent surface, and you can even vaguely see the faint light refracted from the inside. Other than that, the girl is just like a normal human being. She has all the facial features, hands and feet. She doesn’t look hideous or scary at all. Even Xie Sui’s unique feeling of hatred of keeping away from the living is not noticeable in her. How many.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands that she opened and clasped repeatedly, not taking Kaiyang Shi to heart at all.
Luo Yunzheng swallowed.
Among all the people present, probably no one knew better than him that the guy in front of him was definitely not a human being - the huge aura far surpassed any alchemist he had ever seen, and even the Yuhengshi looked dwarfed in front of it.
That is definitely not a realm that humans can reach!
…
Jinxia City, in the factory building of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.
A piece of wood being carved broke into two pieces with a snap, and then fell from the workbench to the ground.
Mo Yun raised his head in surprise and looked at Sicong, who was in a daze.
"What's wrong, are you okay?"
As a mechanical master, she has met many peers, and has taught many disciples since coming to Jinxia. However, when it comes to seal carving talismans, she can't find anyone who can compare with Si Kong, or even come close. Her technique is as stable as those machines that run repeatedly in the Mechanism Bureau. No matter how complicated the pattern is, there will be no mistakes. If it weren't for the talisman carved by Sikong that cannot condense the breath, Mo Yun would have wanted her to be responsible for Jinxia City. All magical instruments are produced.
But even so, the other party's seal carving route can be used as a reference case for oneself to learn, especially when facing those new magic weapons brought back from Baiyao Mountain, the previous carving tools and skills and experience can no longer meet the needs of reproduction. .
This was the first time Mo Yun had seen Si Kong make such a mistake of directly cutting off the substrate.
"No... I'm fine." The latter put down his finger knife and looked towards the patio area, "How could..."
"Is there something wrong?" Mo Yun intuitively felt something was wrong. She put down the drawing in her hand and asked bluntly.
"The escape tower just issued emergency evacuation information...requiring all personnel to implement it immediately, and the escape tower system will enter a combat readiness defense state." Sikong murmured.
