Chapter 498
At this time, the newly formed human bone tree skeletons began to move. They slowly raised their "arms" as if they were feeling the surrounding environment. Their empty eye sockets flashed with a faint green light, which revealed endless malice.
One of the human bone tree skeletons took a step towards Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, and the ground made a dull sound with each step. As it moved, more human bone tree skeletons began to gather around them.
Fu Shaoping knew that they had to take the initiative. He took out a peach wood sword from his storage bag. This peach wood sword was given to him by his master and had the effect of warding off evil spirits. He injected spiritual power into the peach wood sword, and the peach wood sword immediately emitted a faint red light.
Nangong Wan was not to be outdone, she quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted a spell. A circle of flames appeared around her, and the flames kept dancing around her, like a loyal guard.
Fu Shaoping rushed to the nearest human bone tree skeleton. He jumped high and stabbed the human bone tree skeleton's head with the peach wood sword in his hand. The peach wood sword easily penetrated the human bone tree skeleton's skull, but the human bone tree skeleton did not fall down. Instead, it used its "arm" to grab Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping dodged sideways, then swung the peach wood sword vigorously, cutting off the "arm" of the human bone tree skeleton. The severed bones fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Nangong Wan pushed the surrounding flames towards the surrounding human bone tree skeletons. The flames quickly spread to several human bone tree skeletons, and those human bone tree skeletons struggled in the flames, making "crackling" sounds.
However, more human bone tree skeletons came from all directions, and they did not seem to be afraid of flames and peach wood swords. Fu Shaoping realized that this was not a solution, and they had to find the controller of these human bone tree skeletons to truly solve the problem.
He began to observe the surrounding environment carefully, trying to find some clues. Suddenly, he found that the actions of these human skeletons seemed to have a certain pattern. They always gathered in one direction. There was a small hill in that direction, and there seemed to be a black hole on the hill.
Fu Shaoping shouted to Nangong Wan, "Wan'er, look at the cave entrance on that hill. I think that might be the source of these human bone tree skeletons. Let's go there and take a look."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were forced to retreat step by step in this gloomy and terrifying deep mountain by the continuous emergence of human bone tree skeletons. Suddenly, the human bone tree skeletons began to move rapidly, their bones collided with each other, making a creepy sound, and in a blink of an eye, they formed a huge and complex magic circle. This magic circle exuded a dark light, and the light was faintly revealed with the breath of death, trapping Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan tightly in it.
Fu Shaoping's heart tightened. He knew that he had to break the magic circle as soon as possible, otherwise they would be in a desperate situation. He took a deep breath and decided to use the Daluo Vajra Seal first. He stood firmly with his feet, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. His eyes were firm, and he thought to himself: "This Daluo Vajra Seal is the magic spell I have practiced with great effort. Today I must break this evil formation." He continuously gathered the spiritual power in his body between his hands, and saw that his hands gradually glowed with golden light, which became stronger and stronger, as dazzling as the scorching sun. With a loud shout, "Daluo Vajra Seal, break!" A huge golden handprint rushed towards the magic circle. Wherever the golden handprint passed, the air was squeezed and whistled, as if the Vajra was angry and wanted to destroy all evil. When the handprint hit the magic circle, the dark light of the magic circle flickered violently, making a sharp whistling sound, but the magic circle was not broken.
Nangong Wan saw that Fu Shaoping's Daluo Vajra Seal failed to break the formation, and she shouted anxiously: "Shaoping, I'll help you!" She began to use the formation to assist, drawing complex runes with her hands on her chest, and chanting a spell. Her formation power slowly poured into Fu Shaoping's Daluo Vajra Seal, and the golden handprint glowed even brighter. The power that had originally dissipated gathered again and rushed towards the formation again. This time, the light of the formation shook more violently, and some tiny cracks appeared.
Seeing this, Fu Shaoping did not hesitate to use the Qiankun Reverse Chaos Palm. He quickly adjusted his breathing, crossed his feet, and his figure flashed like a ghost. His hands changed handprints like a phantom, and each handprint contained a powerful fluctuation of spiritual power. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he thought silently in his heart: "The Qiankun is in chaos, and the yin and yang are reversed. This palm will definitely cause chaos in this magic circle." He concentrated all the spiritual power in his body on his palms, and the space around his palms began to distort, as if the world was about to be turned upside down by his palms. He pushed out his palms violently, shouting: "Qiankun Reverse Chaos Palm!" A palm wind with a chaotic breath whistled out, and this palm wind seemed to contain the original power of the world, rushing towards the magic circle. The magic circle was hit by this force, and cracks began to spread rapidly, and the entire magic circle was shaking.
At this time, the battle environment also changed. The surrounding air became colder, as if affected by the power of the Qiankun Niranzhuan Palm, with yin and yang reversed, and hot and cold mixed up. A thin layer of frost began to form around the magic circle composed of human bones, trees and skulls. The frost seemed to have life, climbing along the cracks of the magic circle.
However, although the magic circle was shaky, it was still not completely broken. Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and decided to use the Prisoner Ice Seal. He put his hands together and then slowly pulled them apart. An ice-blue spiritual power condensed between his hands. He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated his mind, thinking to himself: "Prisoner Ice Seal, use the power of ice to seal the source of this evil." His spiritual power continued to be injected into the ice-blue spiritual power, and the spiritual power gradually formed a huge ice ball, which was engraved with ancient runes, and the runes flashed with cold light. Fu Shaoping shouted: "Prisoner Ice Seal, descend!" The ice ball flew towards the magic circle. During the flight, the ice ball continued to grow larger, and the air was frozen wherever it went. When the ice ball hit the magic circle, the dark light of the magic circle and the ice-blue light of the ice ball intertwined, emitting a brilliant and dangerous light. Some parts of the magic circle were frozen by the ice ball and temporarily lost their function, but some parts were still resisting stubbornly. Nangong Wan saw Fu Shaoping continuously casting powerful spells, and she was not to be outdone. She took out a softly glowing spiritual bead from her storage bag. This was a treasure inherited from her family that could enhance the power of her spells. She injected the power of the spiritual bead into her formation assistance and shouted, "Shaoping, I'll give you another helping hand!" The power of her formation assistance became even stronger, like a trickle flowing into the sea, and merged into Fu Shaoping's Prisoner Heaven Ice Seal. With the blessing of Nangong Wan's power, the power of the ice ball increased greatly, more formations were frozen, and those human bones and tree skeletons were also frozen in place, unable to move.
Fu Shaoping took this opportunity to summon the Star Scimitar. He waved his hands in the air and chanted a spell. The stars in the night sky flickered a few times, and rays of starlight gathered towards him, forming a scimitar emitting bright starlight in his hand. The blade of the scimitar was so sharp that it seemed to be able to cut through space. Fu Shaoping held the Star Scimitar, and a strong sense of confidence surged in his heart. He thought: "The power of the stars will help me break the formation." He flashed and rushed towards the magic circle, holding the Star Scimitar in his hand high, and then slashed at the magic circle fiercely. Wherever the scimitar passed, it left a dazzling starlight trail. When the scimitar chopped on the magic circle, it made a loud noise like a metal collision. The magic circle was cut by the Star Scimitar with a deep cut, and the dark light flickered.
Then, Fu Shaoping summoned twelve more Thunder Swords. He quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Swords!" Twelve Thunder Swords flew out of his storage space and hovered around him. The power of thunder and lightning flashed on each sword, and the runes engraved on the swords jumped like living things. Fu Shaoping concentrated his mind and formed the twelve Thunder Swords into the Taiyi Sword Formation. His spiritual power connected each sword like a thread, and he thought silently in his heart: "Taiyi Sword Formation, use the power of the sword to break this evil formation." Under his control, the twelve Thunder Swords began to rotate rapidly around the magic circle, and each sword released a powerful thunder and lightning force. The thunder and lightning intertwined with each other, forming a huge electric net that enveloped the magic circle. The magic circle was attacked by thunder and lightning, and the dark light and the power of thunder and lightning collided with each other, making bursts of roaring sounds. The structure of the magic circle began to loosen, and more parts were destroyed.
Fu Shaoping felt that his spiritual power was greatly consumed, but he knew that he could not relax now. He cast the Flying Demon Body Guard, and a layer of golden light appeared around his body, and the shadow of a Buddha statue appeared faintly in the light. He said in his heart: "Flying Demon Body Guard, I hope it can protect me in this final battle." This layer of protective light can not only protect him from the enemy's attack, but also increase the speed of his spiritual power recovery.
Nangong Wan saw that Fu Shaoping had tried his best, so she decided to use all her strength to help him. She began to perform an ancient magical power. She formed seals with her hands above her head and chanted a long and ancient spell. Her body was gradually covered by a layer of colorful light, which contained a mysterious power. She was determined: "I must help Shaoping break this magic circle, and we must survive." She injected this mysterious power into Fu Shaoping's Taiyi Sword Formation, and the lightning power of the Taiyi Sword Formation became more violent, and the power of the power grid became more powerful.
After Fu Shaoping felt the power of Nangong Wan injected into him, his heart was filled with gratitude. He decided to use another killer move, and he began to summon the Heavenly Dragon God of the Underworld Temple for assistance. He put his hands together, chanted the summoning spell, and his voice echoed in the valley. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a huge crack appeared, from which came a majestic dragon roar. A huge dragon flew out of the crack, and the dragon's body exuded a sacred light, and its scales shone with a metallic luster. The dragon rushed towards the magic circle, opened its huge mouth, and spurted out a powerful dragon breath. The dragon's breath contained the mysterious power of the Underworld Temple, which merged with the thunder and lightning power of the Taiyi Sword Formation and the icy power of the Prisoner's Ice Seal, and launched the final attack on the magic circle.
At the same time, Fu Shaoping also used his natal spirit seal. He took out his natal spirit seal from his arms and injected his last spiritual power into it. The natal spirit seal emitted a dazzling light, which contained Fu Shaoping's natal power. He threw the natal spirit seal towards the core of the magic circle. The natal spirit seal continued to grow larger during the flight, and when it reached the core, a huge explosion occurred.
Under the combined attack of many powerful spells, the magic circle formed by the human bones, tree skeletons finally couldn't bear the burden and completely collapsed. Those human bones, tree skeletons also turned into dust and disappeared without a trace. The surrounding environment also returned to normal, the cold air gradually became warm, and the inverted yin and yang returned to their original positions.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood there exhausted. They looked at each other and saw the relief of surviving the disaster in each other's eyes. Fu Shaoping said weakly: "Wan'er, thanks to you." Nangong Wan smiled slightly: "We are together, of course we have to fight side by side."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan had just escaped from the magic circle formed by the human bone tree skeleton, and both were exhausted. Fu Shaoping was leaning against a big tree to adjust his breath, when suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a piece of something flashing with strange light not far away.
He slowly approached and found that the light was actually emitted from the inside of a broken human bone tree skeleton. He squatted down and carefully pushed aside the surrounding bone fragments. A blood-red pill appeared in front of him. The pill was surrounded by a faint blood mist, as if it had life, and there seemed to be a trace of power flowing inside.
Nangong Wan also came over. Seeing the pill, she said in surprise, "Shao Ping, this blood pill looks very strange. I have never seen a pill like this." Fu Shaoping looked at the blood pill carefully, and a feeling of excitement surged in his heart. He said, "Wan'er, I have seen a record in ancient books that there is a blood pill that is a fusion of special evil power and spiritual objects. If it can be refined, it may be able to improve the cultivation of the spirit transformation."
Nangong Wan was also moved when she heard this, but she was also a little worried: "But Shaoping, this blood pill is obtained from the skull of the human bone tree, it must contain evil power, and it will be very dangerous to refine it." Fu Shaoping nodded: "You are right, but if we can successfully refine it, it will be of great help to our cultivation. We are now in this deep mountain, full of dangers. If we can improve our cultivation, we can also have more power to protect ourselves."
Fu Shaoping decided to put the blood pill away first and make plans after finding a safe place. They continued to move forward in the mountains, looking for a suitable place to refine the blood pill. Along the way, Fu Shaoping was thinking about how to refine the blood pill. He knew that the refining of the blood pill could not be done according to the conventional method, and he had to find a spiritual object that could suppress its evil power as an auxiliary material.
