Peng Gong originally thought that with the strength of his side, he would be able to delay the arrival of reinforcements, but he never expected that his side would be so invincible. Only a short time has passed, and the heads of the five mysterious forces' souls have been harvested. These souls are too damn watery! Immediately afterwards, his own disciple also died, and the other party didn't even harvest their heads. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a misfortune.
Of course, what makes Peng Gong even more panicked is that his own current situation is also in danger. The death of his disciple made him very heartbroken, but his own life was the most important thing. It's okay to protect your disciples when you have the energy to spare, but when you can't even protect yourself, who will care about your disciples' life and death.
True Lord Qinghong alone has already forced Mr. Peng into a desperate situation, and Moyu Jiuxingzhu's defense is about to be breached. Now, everyone on Ye Zan's side has their hands free again. If they really come up to besiege Peng Gong, I am afraid that one person can blow Peng Gong into pieces in one go.
"Fellow Taoist Qinghong, I am forced to have no choice but to follow those people to offend your sect! Now, those thieves have been killed, please, Taoist friend, please stop for the sake of the fact that we all belong to the righteous path!" Peng Gong said on one side. Holding on to Moyu Jiuxingzhu's defense, he shouted to True Lord Qinghong with a face full of panic.
Peng Gong is considered to have rich experience. He followed True Lord Fu Guang to attack the Yuqing Sect. After the failure, he pushed everything to the Golden Light Sect and True Lord Fu Guang, and only then did he gain the understanding of the Yuqing Sect. But this time, seeing that the situation was not good, he had no choice but to repeat his old tricks and blame all this on the mysterious forces, saying that he seemed to be completely forced to participate.
"Haha, Lao Peng, why do these words sound so familiar?" Ye Zan appeared next to Qinghong Zhenjun, laughing and said to Peng Gong who was surrounded by the sword formation.
Ye Zan didn't help True Lord Qinghong, not because of any righteous rules, or because he cared about True Lord Qinghong's face, but mainly because he really couldn't get involved. Although it was easy for him to harvest those parallel imported souls before, this Peng Gong is still an old man after all. Even though he is also in the realm of promoting growth, his strength is far superior to those parallel imported souls.
If you can't get involved in this, it doesn't mean that Ye Zan's level is not enough. After all, Ye Zan is now a powerful soul. If it were a one-on-one fight, it would not be difficult for Ye Zan to kill Peng Gong, but he would never be able to crush him as easily as True Lord Qinghong.
That's right, even though True Lord Qinghong hasn't killed Peng Gong yet, the situation can already be called a crushing one. You must know that it has only been a few minutes since the two of them fought.
The reason why Ye Zan couldn't get involved was actually like a group of people beating up one person. There is a limit to the number of people that can be squeezed around a person. If it exceeds this number, even if there are ten times more people in the periphery, it will not actually add much effect.
And here, although Qinghong Zhenjun and Peng Gong were one-on-one, the attack of the sword array was like a group fight, and the attack had already reached saturation. If Ye Zan or others want to intervene, then True Lord Qinghong will have to remove the sword array and use other methods to cooperate, but the attack power may be greatly reduced.
Therefore, seeing that Mr. Peng could not hold on for long, Ye Zan was too lazy to do unnecessary things and just watched the excitement from the side.
When Peng Gong saw Ye Zan's appearance, although he was filled with hatred in his heart, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw on his lips. He immediately shouted almost pleadingly: "Junior brother Ye, our Wuzhu Sect and the Yuqing Sect have the same roots. For the sake of you and me being from the same sect, please help me persuade fellow Taoist Qinghong!"
Peng Gong's performance was really without any backbone. Compared with his previous arrogance when he besieged Qingyue Sword Sect, it was like he had become two different people. However, face is nothing, backbone is of no use, everything is in vain if you lose your life. As the saying goes, "If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood." Only by enduring a temporary humiliation can you have a chance to turn around!
Moreover, Peng Gong also had a little thought in his heart, that is, he hoped to delay it for a little more time. Maybe the reinforcements would arrive on the battlefield soon!
However, Ye Zan's performance did not satisfy Peng Gong. He only looked at the ink jade nine-star bamboo and said: "This ink jade nine-star bamboo was retrieved for you by my senior brother Mo, regardless of past grudges. It's a pity that I gave it back to you. My heart was set on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
Originally, because Peng Gong mentioned the relationship between the Wuzhu Sect and the Yuqing Sect, Qinghong Zhenjun couldn't help but hesitate a little before he was unsure of Ye Zan's attitude. In his opinion, this relationship of the same roots and origins is much deeper than the friendship between the two sects. Although he actually knows that the relationship between the two sects is not good, but who knows how bad it is.
It's like, some parents can hit or scold their children as much as they want, but if others come to beat and scold them, they will fight each other desperately. In other words, no matter how the family fights, even if it is a human brain beating a dog's brain, it is still the family's business, but outsiders are not allowed to interfere.
However, after hearing Ye Zan's response, Qinghong Zhenjun understood the decision of Ye Zan and Yu Qingzong, and the scruples in his heart immediately dissipated, and the offensive in his hands immediately strengthened a bit. Under his control, the sword formation suddenly sped up. The sword lights criss-crossed in the sword formation, constantly consuming and squeezing Peng Gong's space. In the blink of an eye, he was within a few feet of the opponent.
"You! Okay, if you don't make me wait, I won't make it easier for you to wait!" Seeing this situation, Peng Gong naturally knew that begging was useless, and he also knew that it would be difficult to delay the arrival of reinforcements. Then, with a fierce look on his face, he suddenly took out a fist-sized ball of light from the Qiankun Ring.
"ah!"
A scream came from not far away. Another disciple of Peng Gong, Wang Lianshan, finally escaped from the Yuanshen after his body was shattered by several Yuanshen mechanical warriors. However, as a large number of talismans were attached, Wang Lianshan's soul could not escape. Just like the heads of those parallel importers, it was taken away by the light of the jade ball in a blink of an eye.
Wang Lianshan's scream made Peng Gong finally make up his mind and raised his hand to feed the ball of light into his mouth.
Looking at Peng Gong's posture, no matter Ye Zan or Zhenjun Qinghong, they didn't know that the other party was going to fight desperately. The expression on Qinghong Zhenjun's face suddenly became a bit more serious. At the same time, the sword techniques in his hands also changed continuously, causing the sword formation to also change. Although Ye Zan was not that nervous, he still touched his chin, secretly summoned all the Yuanshen mechanical warriors, and laid another layer of net around the sword formation.
Sure enough, just when Qinghong Zhenjun and Ye Zan were preparing for the next change, Peng Gong who swallowed the light ball really changed.
Then Peng Gong stopped all his movements, suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, and his body quickly expanded as if he was being pumped up. With several "squeaking" sounds, Peng Gong's swollen body burst all the clothes on his body, revealing a body of flesh that was faintly glowing with golden light.
"Is it the kind of monster we met in the South China Sea again?" Qinghong Zhenjun said in a deep voice.
Back then, Ye Zan took True Lord Qinghong to the South China Sea. After taking over a stronghold of the mysterious force, he was chased by a monster from the mysterious force. That monster is actually the same as the parallel-imported souls, but its magic power has reached the realm of Dharma. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a parallel-imported Dharma. However, because the monster's physical body was too weak to withstand the power within its body for a long time, it finally disintegrated under the sword of True Lord Qinghong.
Therefore, Zhenjun Qinghong and Ye Zan were no strangers to the aura of parallel-imported magic, and the aura on Gong Peng's body was similar to it at this time.
However, the difference is that although Peng Gong was also promoted to the Yuanshen realm, he originally had the foundation of the Yuanying realm, so the strength of this physical body is stronger than those of parallel imports. It doesn't mean that if it were replaced by Peng Gong's physical body, even if it couldn't withstand the magical power for a long time, it would never be as short-lived as the previous monster.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Peng Gong had completed his "transformation", and his whole body had soared to more than three feet tall. The skin all over his body seemed to be gilded and blinding. In addition to all the clothes being torn, he was covered in Not even a hair was left. So much so that if he were in a cross-legged posture, he would look like a golden Buddha statue in a secular temple.
In addition, unlike the original monster, Peng Gong's body was tall but not bloated. Although the blood vessels under the skin protruded like earthworms, they did not have the disgusting look of constantly arching and squirming. Obviously, with his Nascent Soul-level powerful body, Peng Gong's ability to withstand this force is much stronger than that of the previous monster.
"Roar!"
After Peng Gong completed his "transformation", he immediately turned his attention to True Lord Qinghong and opened his mouth with a roar. And his roar was not just to scare people. Following the roar, a beam of light erupted from his mouth, instantly penetrating the sword formation and hitting True Lord Qinghong.
"Well done!" Upon seeing this, True Lord Qinghong was not panicked. He held his sword hand and pointed at it, and a sword light was like a flying rainbow, shooting toward the beam of light.
The sword light and the light beam collided in an instant, without any earth-shattering roar. They both dissipated into nothingness almost at the same time. It can be seen that although Peng Gong has a Nascent Soul-level physical body, the reason why he is able to reach this level is because the power of the light ball has been weakened. It can be said that purely in terms of strength, Peng Gong is actually slightly inferior to the previous monster.
However, this does not mean that the combat power that Peng Gong can exert will be worse than the previous monster. There is no such heavy burden on the body, which actually helps Peng Gong to perform better. Coupled with his own experience, the actual combat power is probably much stronger than that monster.
"Thousand swords strangle!" Qinghong Zhenjun took the opponent's move. Although it seemed that they were evenly matched, the expression on his face was much more solemn. As mentioned above, how could he not see this, so in his heart, he immediately raised the threat of Peng Gong to the monster.
Following Qinghong Zhenjun's violent shout, the sword formation suddenly changed, and the sword lights quickly merged together. Countless sword lights rotated at high speed and strangled towards Peng Gong in a continuous manner, as if a whirlpool of sword lights appeared in the sword array.
In the previous situation, Ye Zan could no longer intervene, and now it was even more impossible to intervene.
"Qianjun, put this on." Ye Zan glanced at Qi Qianjun beside him. The jade ball hanging high in the sky suddenly shot down a beam of light, and something fell in front of Qi Qianjun along with the beam of light.
The thing that fell with the light beam looked like a set of armor, but compared with the real armor, there was no protection in the places that should be protected, and there were some superfluous things in the places that did not need protection. Of course, purely in terms of shape, this thing has one thing in common with armor, that is, you can tell at a glance that it is meant to be worn on the body.
In fact, this is an exoskeleton armor as a template, with the technological weapons and defense systems removed, and the exoskeleton structure streamlined to the greatest extent. Its main function is not to provide weapons and defense to the wearer, but is only designed as an external energy supply device.
The external energy supply equipment does not supply electricity, but the mana of this world. The core of the energy is the souls that Ye Zan harvested. In other words, after putting on this set of equipment, even a Qi Refining Realm disciple can instantly possess soul-level mana.
Does this sound familiar? Yes, this is the same as the mysterious force's parallel-imported souls. The difference is just a matter of internal and external issues.
Of course, speaking of it, there is not much difference. It seems that they all follow the same path, and the results obtained are similar. But in fact, for real users, the difference is huge.
Those parallel-imported souls, whether they were originally refining Qi to build foundations or golden elixirs and Yuanying, once they use the methods of mysterious forces, it means that the road to cultivation ends here. Those who have no future will naturally not care about this. Anyway, if I don't use this method, I won't be able to reach the soul until I die, so after using it, I will make money.
However, if you change it to a person with a promising future, let's say Qi Qianjun, who has heaven-defying qualifications, maybe he would have been able to reach the heaven-reaching realm before. Without the shackles of the laws of heaven and earth, perhaps becoming a true immortal is not the end. So, if he uses the method of mysterious forces, it will obviously be a big loss, and all the good future will be ruined.
And the external energy-supply equipment developed by Ye Zan can also allow Qi Qianjun to temporarily possess soul-level mana, but it will not affect Qi Qianjun's own cultivation level. For Qi Qianjun, using such an external energy-supplying equipment is actually not much different from using a magic weapon.
Ye Zan did not bring those powerful souls, but chose to bring out Qi Qianjun, who was in the Nascent Soul realm. On the one hand, it allowed Qi Qianjun to gain some knowledge, and on the other hand, it was precisely because he had this idea in his heart. Now, after harvesting a batch of parallel-imported souls, the processing equipment in the jade ball immediately calculated the plan under his instructions and quickly made it a reality.
