They came to an altar. The surrounding soil and rocks were cracked, but the altar and the four stone pillars were still barely intact.
There is a round white jade bead on the altar, placed on a three-foot-high stone pillar, which is also covered with runes.
The runes turned into colorful patterns, spreading around and spreading in all directions.
"I will activate the magic circle first to compress the monster's power to the extreme!" Ming Yueshu said solemnly, "Then you cover it with the Nine Stars Locking Veins Formation. If the Nine Stars Locking Veins Formation cannot completely cover and suppress it, even if a little overflows, it will leave a huge problem."
She placed a hand on the white jade bead and whispered, "I need to use most of my strength to activate the magic circle. You should stick to me from behind, otherwise the range of my spiritual energy protection will shrink and I'm afraid it will be difficult to cover you. This monster is always attacking us. Once any part of your body is exposed to the spiritual energy, it may be destroyed immediately."
Shi Hao came behind her, squatted down, and hugged her gently.
Ming Yueshu said solemnly, "Come closer."
Shi Hao had no choice but to half-kneel behind her, with his legs apart and clamped on both sides of her calves, his hands tightly around her slender waist, his chest and abdomen pressed against her from behind.
Although it was too cruel to hug a little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old like this, his life was at stake and he dared not be careless.
Ming Yueshu didn't care about it. Instead, he stared at the white jade bead carefully and pressed it with both hands.
The spiritual energy contracted and flowed into the white jade beads along Mingyueshu's two small hands.
The light and shadow flowed inside the pearl, spreading out layer by layer, and the colorful lights intertwined into mysterious patterns, constantly pressing down.
Boom, boom, boom
The astonishing force hit the spread-out colorful pattern, causing the ground to shake wildly, giving people a terrifying feeling as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
Mingyueshu noticed the monster's amazing resistance beyond the past, and his expression became more serious.
Boom! A huge force came from below, and the entire altar seemed to be shaking upwards.
Or maybe it was not the altar that was shaking, but the space they were in.
Ming Yueshu fought with all his might, with a slight bead of sweat on his forehead.
Shi Hao was behind her and couldn't do anything to help her. He could only hold his breath and try not to affect her as much as possible.
The colorful light pressed down further, and there was another loud noise, followed by a crackling sound. Lightning flashed around the periphery of the altar... Or perhaps it was not lightning at all, but cracks caused by the shattering of space.
The gray vortex was like a knife edge, rolling in all directions.
They pressed down layer by layer, and only dispersed when they touched the spiritual energy that protected them.
Sizzle—
There was a loud noise coming from deep underground.
Boom! There was another explosion, like a volcanic eruption, and an astonishing airflow rushed directly from the ground over the cracked soil and rocks.
All the rocks that were lifted up were crushed to pieces.
Ming Yueshu's face changed slightly. She had a premonition that the monster wanted to break out of the ground today.
Boom!
—There was a loud bang, a deafening one.
Unlike the feeling that rolled from the mind to the body, like a silent illusion condensing into a solid entity, this explosion was heard through the eardrums.
Ming Yueshu and Shi Hao turned their heads at the same time and saw that one of the four stone pillars standing in the four directions had cracked and shattered.
There had been red flames on that stone pillar, the flames were like runes, interweaving and shining, but at this moment the red flames had gone out.
Ming Yueshu's face changed: "Someone has sneaked in and is destroying the magic circle."
Shi Hao was shocked: "What should we do?"
Ming Yueshu broke out in a cold sweat and said miserably: "We can't do anything! The Four Symbols Pillar is already missing a corner. I need to suppress this monster. If I leave now, the monster will immediately break the magic circle. If I don't leave, the intruder will continue to destroy it. As long as I let them destroy one more pillar..."
The Ye family has sacrificed so many people from ancient times to the present, leaving only her as the only bloodline. Now, she has to watch everything the entire family has paid for in the past collapse, which makes her heart break.
Shi Hao gritted his teeth, freed one hand, fumbled around, and took out a copper coin from his body.
The coin was thrown out and began to twist and deform halfway.
Without Ming Yueshu's spiritual protection, he would have been twisted into a knot like this copper coin.
But he was not impatient and threw another coin. This time, he covered the coin with his vital energy. The coin flew three feet away from him and floated in the air.
At this moment, he was controlling the copper plate remotely purely with his energy, allowing it to escape from Ming Yueshu's spiritual protection, while remaining under the coverage of his own vitality.
Shi Hao wasn't sure whether this would work.
But that day, in Yuanshi Cave Heaven, Ye Ziyin and Su Xi used him as a medium, and the two energies were harmonized. They withstood the powerful storm on the white jade bridge, entered the mysterious archway, and took a look at the Yaochi on the other side of the white jade bridge.
At the bottom of the Crystal Palace, Yue Yaotai, whose power was obviously superior to his, was unable to break the Xuan Chi Ling and release Bai Lan. He relied on his vital energy to do it easily and effortlessly.
This made him firmly believe that the "vitality" he possessed could do things that others could not.
Sure enough, he saw that although the copper plate was out of Yue'er's spiritual protection, it was intact.
After the raging gray vortex touched the Yuan Qi, it automatically avoided it as if it had touched the spiritual energy overflowing from Yue'er's body.
Chapter 283 Breaking and Protecting the Formation
Shi Hao was overjoyed and said, "Yue'er, I will go stop those people." He let go of Ming Yueshu and flew away.
Ming Yueshu turned around and said in surprise: "You..."
However, Shi Hao was surrounded by a mysterious aura. Although he was out of her spiritual protection, he was not affected by the evil aura that permeated the air.
Mingyue was slightly surprised. Boom! The upward impact from the ground almost destroyed the spreading colorful light.
She quickly calmed her mind, held her breath, and tried her best to suppress the monster.
Shi Hao flew quickly towards the collapsed stone pillar, but saw four people quickly breaking away and rushing to the other corner of the magic circle.
These four people were actually the young woman surnamed Zhao, "Juedingfandi" You Sankuan, "Elephant Turtle Knife" Taoist Hu Pi, and "Qianzhi Sword" Wu Chunbo.
The evil aura was everywhere, but it did not attack these four people.
Shi Hao shouted, "What are you doing?"
When the four men saw him flying over, their faces changed.
"Stop him!" the young woman shouted.
Taoist Priest Hu Pi and Wu Chunbo, one with a sword and the other with a saber, went to stop Shi Hao.
Shi Hao finally understood why they ran away so quickly even though Yue'er had helped them at the tea pavilion.
Because they had something to hide, after recognizing Yue'er, they were probably more nervous than those people in the Wei Ba Army.
Taoist Hu Pi swung his sword and sword energy burst out, like a giant elephant wearing armor, rushing towards Shi Hao.
Wu Chunbo's sword flashed fiercely, as powerful as a meteor, and hit Shi Hao's heart directly: "Little brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, retreat quickly."
The two men, one a Taoist and one a Confucian, cooperated extremely well. The sword lights were fierce, and the sword light was hidden within the sword light. The sword tips trembled, and it was difficult to grasp what was real and what was fake.
Both of them are of the fifth rank. Their sword energy and saber energy take the lead, destroying everything in their path and being unstoppable.
Shi Hao unsheathed his iron sword, used it as a knife, and chopped it down. At that moment, it was like thousands of troops rushing forward, the sword energy was fierce and the momentum was terrifying.
The Great Sun Demonic Spell! The Heavenly Madness Absolute Killing Knife!
Bang! The Taoist's sword energy dissipated, and the Confucian's sword energy was annihilated.
The two men had never seen such ferocious swordsmanship. The young man in front of them was like the scorching sun, bursting out with astonishing sharpness. The sword slashed straight forward, and an overwhelming murderous intent swept over them. Although they were the last to attack, they were able to swallow up thousands of soldiers and put them in fear.
With two bangs, the knife and the sword were swept away at the same time.
These two were also brave and fearless masters who had fought against the Seven Evils under Hong Leichi in the past. Although they knew that what they were doing was inappropriate and they felt guilty, they had made up their minds and would fight bravely without regrets.
The two men each groaned, but did not retreat. They forced themselves to change their moves, slashing the young man's waist with the knife and taking his throat with the sword.
Under Shi Hao's Great Sun Demonic Technique, if they avoided it, they could still be unharmed. But now they were forcibly enduring his energy, wanting to trade injuries for injuries, or even to kill him at the cost of their own serious injuries.
Shi Hao's eyes showed anger and he shouted loudly, "Swish!"
The killing move that was so brave and fearless just now suddenly became light and ethereal, like a white horse passing by in a flash, which was indescribable.
He retreated to advance, avoiding the sword and the knife at the same time. The sword intent burst out, flashed and folded, and the tornado-like sword energy turned into a meteor.
How could the Taoists and Confucianists have ever imagined that his "knife" method, which was as powerful as lava erupting just now, would suddenly become so light and erratic
"This boy is an expert in swordsmanship!" The two were secretly shocked.
With two "chi", their swords missed and they were stabbed by swords.
As a result, their tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries not only failed, but instead caused external injuries to be added to the internal injuries.
Under the burst of sword energy, they were forced to retreat.
Fortunately, the young man had no time to chase them. With a flash of his figure, he quickly passed through their midst and chased after the young woman and the bald man who was protecting her.
The terrain in this underground space is undulating, and many buildings are tilted and collapsed.
Shi Hao followed their shadows and saw that the direction they were heading was the stone pillar with blue flames burning on the top.
If they destroy one more stone pillar, the magic circle here will collapse.
The surrounding area was filled with evil energy. Gray whirlpools and blade-like black shadows avoided the two people in front of them, but rushed towards him madly.
It was as if the monsters underground had made some kind of deal with them and were helping them block his pursuit.
Shi Hao flew over and saw the two men getting closer and closer to the stone pillar of blue flames.
He successfully locked onto the bald man's aura, and whoosh, his figure accelerated further like a ghost.
"The top of the head is turning over the ground" You Sankuan turned around, and was secretly surprised to see that this young man was able to break through the sword defense line of the Taoists and Confucianists and was chasing after him.
It would have been fine if the person chasing him was Ming Yueshu, but it was a young man whose background in the martial arts world he could not remember, which surprised him greatly.
"Miss Ruoxin!" You Sankuan rolled on the ground and clapped his hands downwards. The earth and rocks cracked open, forming a crack in the ground that led directly to the bottom of the stone pillar.
He and the young woman rushed into the crack at the same time, and the entrance to the crack closed behind him.
Whoosh, the wind blew quickly, and Shi Hao, relying on the Soul-Chasing and Soul-Locking Steps, actually rushed in before the tunnel was closed.
Shi Hao moved very fast, stabbing the bald man with his sword. The bald man rolled on the ground, avoiding the sword, and stabbed him in the lower abdomen with a short blade.
At this moment, Shi Hao was at the critical moment of life and death... He had used up all his sword power, and the sword was too long to change his moves, while the bald man was already close to him, with his whole body hidden under his elbow.
This was a narrow tunnel, closed on both sides, so he couldn't move or escape.
With a snap of his fingers, the iron sword flew out of his hand and hit the young woman from behind.
The next moment, he shrank and twisted his body, and miraculously avoided You Sankuan's fatal blow.
You Sankuan was greatly surprised. He did not expect that under such circumstances, the young man could actually escape.
The young man’s entire body seemed to have changed shape. In the impossible situation, he seemed to have turned into shapeless flowing water... Yin Mei Nine Transformations!
Although You Sankuan was shocked, he remained calm and wielded his short sword... This kind of fierce fighting in the tunnel was exactly what he was good at.
There were quick crackling sounds, You Sankuan's left wrist was grabbed, his arm twisted to the right, his whole body was turned, and the short blade in his other hand stabbed into the air.
With a click, You Sankuan's left arm bone broke.
This was broken by himself... He had not expected that the young man's grappling skills were so amazing.
But he is also a skilled fighter. If his wrist is locked, any slight movement will affect his entire body and he will be restrained.
So he got mad and used his internal force to break his arm bone. He endured the severe pain, turned his body, and slashed again with his right hand.
Most people simply cannot have the determination to cut off one's own arm. This requires not only a deep understanding of grappling techniques, but also a decisiveness that surpasses that of ordinary people at that moment.
Bang! The young man had even anticipated this move.
The raised knee hit his right wrist, and the whole person crashed into him. His chest was hit by the young man's shoulder, his sternum was broken, and his lower abdomen was hit by the young man's elbow, his internal organs rolled, and the next moment, the young man's hand grabbed his throat, with a click.
His body shook, his eyes widened, and he fell down.
Shi Hao did not hold back at all. Just as Sister Ziyin said, once we are in this situation, it will be either you die or I die.
Although swords have no eyes, the two people fighting with swords are separated by a large distance, so as long as there is room to maneuver, there is still some room to hold back.
There is only one result of close combat... The bravest one wins!
He used the suppression of the Seven Dragon Capturing Techniques and the attack of the Seven Illusionary Body Strikes smoothly.
The bald man's throat was twisted, his cervical vertebrae were broken, and his body shook a few times. He grabbed the young man's foot weakly with one hand, trying to pull him back, but the young man quickly shook him off.
At this moment, the young woman turned around and swung her sword, knocking away the iron sword that was hitting her back.
The iron sword flew back, and she turned and rushed to the base of the stone pillar, where circles of blue runes were entwined. The runes were mysterious and gorgeous, like jumping tadpoles, circling the stone pillar and rotating at a specific frequency.
