Chapter 228 Thunder spell destroys the demon
Chapter 228 Thunder spell destroys the demon
These runes were extremely complex. Chen Yao looked at them for a long time but still couldn't figure out anything.
However, he did not give up, but continued to study patiently.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a detail.
When the subordinates launched the attack, these runes became independent and connected to the spiritual veins of the earth, which is why they were so strong.
The earth is silent, but it bears everything, let alone the attacks of several people?
If you want to break the formation, you naturally have to cut off the connection between the formation and the earth's spiritual veins first.
Following this line of thought, Chen Yao looked at the runes in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He observed the rune carefully, trying to find the pattern in it.
After careful research, he finally discovered the key rune part that connected this formation to the earth's spiritual veins.
Every time after receiving an attack, this part will produce a certain fluctuation and be transmitted downwards. Although it is fleeting, it was still observed by Chen Yao.
In this way, as long as you find a way to destroy this part, you can destroy the entire formation.
"Haha! Finally found it!" Chen Yao looked at the runes in front of him and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He immediately ordered everyone to stop attacking, and then began to gather all his strength and launched a fierce attack on the rune.
However, a thick and obscure gray-black demonic energy emanated from the rune. It surrounded the rune, blocking and swallowing all incoming attacks.
"Hehe, General Chen is truly extraordinary. He actually managed to find this place..."
A sound like the friction of bones was heard, so eerie and sharp that it made people frown.
"You recognize me?" Chen Yao snorted coldly, then chuckled, "Your appearance also means that I have discovered the key, right?"
The voice paused, then continued: "Hehehe, so what if you found it? You can't destroy it, hehehe."
"You are such a coward." Chen Yao snorted coldly, "I think it's hard for you to be my enemy. Otherwise, you would have shown up long ago!"
"Hehehe, why would an old man like me, a formation master, show up? General Chen, you are indeed powerful, but now you are trapped in my formation. I am afraid that you can't use your abilities! What's more, can your subordinates hold on?"
"What?" Chen Yao frowned, and his eyes swept across his team. "What do you mean?"
"Hehehe..." The voice didn't answer, but became smaller and smaller.
Some of the angry subordinates suddenly attacked the evil spirit: "Don't go!"
Chen Yao waved his hand: "He is not here, he is just transmitting the message."
After the voice transmission ended, the formation seemed to no longer conceal itself and began to operate completely. The mud-like evil energy continued to flow, like a living thing, constantly contaminating everything.
Chen Yao frowned: "The earth's spiritual veins are being polluted!"
The corpses of the demon cultivators who died in the previous battle seemed to have turned into nutrients for the formation. They decayed rapidly, and a disgusting aura spread out. During the operation of the formation, the scale of this aura expanded exponentially...
The spiritual energy around became more and more agitated, which meant that the spiritual veins of the earth had been polluted.
I saw a bright light burst out from Chen Yao's hand, and then hit the rune fiercely.
It was like being stuck in mud. The attacks had no effect. This was as expected.
What Chen Yao wanted to try was to absorb spiritual energy.
The internal energy was working, but the spiritual energy in the air was faintly resisting.
Even if it is absorbed into the body, the speed of transformation becomes extremely obscure.
There are too many negative things in the spiritual energy, such as violence, resentment, etc., but for magic practitioners, it should be a benefit.
"Is this the evil cultivator's conspiracy?" Chen Yao murmured.
Except for Chen Yao, the others also gradually discovered it.
"General Chen, what should we do?" Some people were impatient, tightly grasping the long sword in their hands, "Kill Li Qifan, he must have deliberately led us here!"
Li Qifan's knees went weak and he collapsed to the ground: "My Lords, this is unjust. My life is in your hands. How dare I do this?"
"It must be their conspiracy. They did it on purpose!"
"Your Excellency, please be wise. I am from Ningcheng, and my ancestors three hundred years ago were also righteous..."
Chen Yao waved his hand and said, "Let's spare his life for now. Li Qifan, what you said is not without reason. Among us, you are the only one who practices magic. In this situation, do you have any solution?"
"How can I do anything? I've just started building my foundation..." Li Qifan's voice got smaller and smaller. Looking at the soldiers with unfriendly eyes, he gradually stopped talking. "However, ordinary attacks will definitely have no effect on him, but... after all, it's a magic skill, why not try thunder magic?"
"But there is no one among us who practices thunder magic."
Chen Yao actually thought of what Li Qifan said, but as his subordinates said, firstly, there was no one here who practiced thunder magic, and secondly, although he had thunder magic, if it was useless, spending so much time practicing it would easily exhaust his last time and opportunity.
But now, there is no other way to go. Chen Yao frowned slightly: "Everyone, when I came from Sanqing Sect, I got a volume of thunder method and annotations. You can all practice it. If someone succeeds, I will try it with thunder method. But I don't know if this method is useful. If anyone has other ideas, you can do it according to your own ideas."
"We all believe in General Chen!"
Chen Yao copied all of Xu Donghua's jade slips and distributed them to all his subordinates.
In a flash, everyone sat cross-legged in the cave, comprehending their own skills, as if they were not trapped in the magic cultivator's formation, but in the Sanqing Sect's meditation room.
“Haha, you guys have given up struggling? Haha, fine, fine, I’ll just wait for you to die from exhaustion of spiritual energy!”
The strange voice sounded again.
Chen Yao didn't even open his eyes, he crossed his legs and said, "You are anxious."
"you!"
Chen Yao said calmly: "Although we are trapped now, we are on the other side of Jingshan Mountain after all. It will be difficult for you to send enough combat forces to encircle and suppress us."
"So what? You are trapped inside and cannot get out! You cannot send any news, so you can only wait to die! Once we pollute the earth's spiritual veins and formally launch an attack, someone will naturally come to deal with you!"
"Since you have secured victory, why are you making such a fuss?" Chen Yao snorted.
"Hehe, as the winner, I am just here to mock you dying people!"
"Not necessarily." After Chen Yao finished speaking, he closed his mouth. No matter how noisy the voice was, he did not say anything. Instead, he set up a simple silent formation to block out the noisy voice.
Time flies by.
A few days later, Chen Yao slowly opened his eyes, and the blood and energy in his body were churning, with a hint of thunder permeating his blood and energy.
Chen Yao suddenly stood up and roared, "Thunder is coming!"
Outside the cave, the sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds and thunder was brewing.
It's not that Chen Yao's thunder magic has reached such a level in just a few days, but Chen Yao is a Jindan Zhenjun after all, and his control over the heaven and earth is far beyond what Ye Yunqi had when he practiced thunder magic in the past.
At that time, Ye Yunqi still needed to wait for the thunderstorm weather and wait for the thunder from heaven and earth.
But Chen Yao has already practiced thunder magic. With the help of the thunder magic brewing in his body and Jindan Zhenjun's control over the heaven and earth, he can forcibly summon thunder to help him practice.
A bolt of lightning struck down, and the magic formation trembled violently, as if it was about to break in half. "Thunder is coming!" "Thunder is coming!"
A few calls and several thunders, it seemed that someone else was controlling the magic formation. Seeing that the formation could not hold on any longer, he quickly opened a hole to let the thunder fall into it.
The thunder struck Chen Yao violently. For Chen Yao, who had experienced the golden elixir thunder tribulation, this kind of power was still within his tolerable range.
The key is to use it to cultivate your own thunder magic!
Not long after, Chen Yao condensed the thunder core and mastered the thunder magic.
Chen Yao removed the silent formation and said with a smile: "That formation magic cultivator, now that I have cultivated the thunder method, is it really useless?"
The voice of the magic cultivator of the formation sounded again: "As expected of you, General Chen. Hehehe, I am not surprised that you can cultivate the thunder method. But among the righteous, how many people can cultivate the thunder method? If you can't do it today, there will be another day!"
Then, he seemed to give up this side, cut off the sound transmission, and no longer said anything.
"Hmph." Chen Yao growled, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated, and thunder suddenly fell on the formation runes.
Those things that were like mud before, after encountering thunder, were like encountering boiling hot oil, sizzling and constantly being worn away.
"It really works!" Seeing this, Chen Yao continued to launch attacks.
The sizzling sound was like the wailing of countless ghosts. Obviously, the source of this evil energy, which was like mud, was also very cruel.
With a deafening bang, the rune was finally shattered.
At the same time, the entire formation began to collapse and disintegrate. Brilliant rays of light burst out from the altar, then intertwined in the air to form a huge light net that enveloped the entire cave.
Then the rays of light fell on the earth, penetrated into it, and disappeared.
But Chen Yao could sense that this world was returning to normal.
Heaven and earth have their own way, and success or failure depends on man.
Now that the altar was broken, the world naturally began to repair itself.
"It worked!" Chen Yao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be overjoyed. "The thunder method really works!"
"Sir, we succeeded!" At this time, one of his subordinates walked up to Chen Yao and said excitedly.
He had thought that he was going to die heroically, but he didn't expect that Chen Yao could actually break the formation.
Now, they have successfully stopped the plans of those evil cultivators and made a great contribution to the entire human race.
As a member of the team, they can obviously share some of the merits. Although they are just a small team, they have achieved such a great feat, which is enough to make them proud for the rest of their lives.
"Well! We succeeded!" Chen Yao looked at the people in front of him and said loudly.
Chen Yao looked at the happy crowd and couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Then, he said loudly: "Thunder magic will be extremely important in the future. How is your practice of thunder magic going?"
Everyone looked embarrassed and shook their heads: "Sir, thunder magic is obscure and difficult to practice. We are not good at understanding, so it will be difficult for us."
Everyone agreed.
"Yes, sir, although this jade slip is very detailed, I just regret that we are not qualified enough."
"It would be nice if there was a thunder technique that didn't depend on aptitude or comprehension..."
"What are you thinking? How can there be a thunder method that doesn't consider aptitude or understanding?"
"Well, even if it's not thunder magic, we just have to deal with these strange evil spirits..."
"Besides thunder magic, there is really nothing that can restrain the devil cultivators, right?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Chen Yao also had some thoughts.
Yes, thunder magic is still extremely difficult. If there is something that can deal with these strange evil spirits and does not require too high skills like thunder magic, it will definitely be of great help.
But, is there such a thing?
Chen Yao decided that when he had time, he would go back to Sanqing Sect to ask if the sect had any corresponding solutions.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
I can’t think of it no matter how hard I try.
Then he led everyone out of the cave. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sun shone on them, making them feel extremely warm and comfortable.
"Sir, what should we do next?" At this time, Li Qifan walked to Chen Yao and asked in a low voice.
In fact, Li Qifan was not only asking Chen Yao and the others, but also Li Qifan himself.
As a demon cultivator, he certainly cannot return to the demon territory now. If he goes back, he will die.
But now Chen Yao’s subordinates don’t particularly trust Li Qifan.
Some people always think that Li Qifan wanted to kill them on purpose.
Chen Yao couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this. He didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant Li Qifan would play such an important role at the critical moment.
Now, they have successfully stopped the plans of those evil cultivators, but what to do next is a thorny problem.
"Li Qifan, don't worry. I promised you before that you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life imprisonment. As for the punishment of life imprisonment, it still needs to be decided by Sanqing Sect!" Chen Yao said coldly.
"Thank you, sir!" Li Qifan was just a coward who was afraid of death. When he learned that he didn't have to die, he looked relieved and knelt down on the ground spinelessly.
Chen Yao glanced and had his familiar subordinates pull Li Qifan up.
However, judging from the expression of this subordinate, he seemed to be quite disgusted with Li Qifan.
"Brothers, let's return to the camp first. This matter needs to be reported to the higher-ups." Chen Yao pondered for a moment, then said.
"promise!"
Everyone responded in unison, then hurried back to the camp.
This attack obviously took much longer than expected.
There are already some bad moods in the camp.
Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Yao and others returned in time, and there were no casualties, which instantly reversed the mood in the camp.
Things like war don't always go according to plan perfectly. If we encounter special circumstances, there will be a slight delay, which is understandable.
At present, the team has no casualties and has captured a demon cultivator as a prisoner.
You can tell at first glance that he has won.
But why did they only capture one demon cultivator?
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't take it to heart.
Chen Yao didn't even sit down, and hurriedly said: "Send the order, shrink the battle line, don't enter the mountain lightly, wait until I come back from Sanqing Sect!"
