"What a... What a powerful move!"
"Brute force, broke it open."
When Xingqiu and Chongyun saw the scene in front of them, they were both shocked beyond measure.
Xingqiu was amazed by Yu Yan's moves that he had never seen before. He said they were martial arts but not martial arts. He said they were alchemy but not alchemy. As for elemental power, it was even more impossible.
Chongyun, on the other hand, was shocked that Yi Yan had actually destroyed the largest formation he had ever seen in his life with brute force.
Judging from the collapse of the nine stone pillars, it was obvious that the force flowing through the nodes of the formation was too great, and the stone pillars serving as formation positions could no longer support it.
"Close your jaw, I don't care what kind of poisonous gas you inhale." Seeing the stunned look on their faces, Yi Yan reminded them kindly.
He stuck his head into the hole that had just been exposed to the sun again and took a sniff. It was very good and had no smell.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Scared me!"
One by one, the faint blue candle lights lit up, illuminating the dim cave and at the same time startling the ember.
With the help of light, everyone saw that the so-called "burrow" was a corridor leading underground.
"Are you leaving?" Yi Yan looked deep into the dark corridor and asked the curious Xingqiu and Chongyun beside him.
The dark embers are definitely not afraid, but Xingqiu and Chongyun are not necessarily afraid.
"Let's go! Why don't you go!" Xingqiu's eyes were shining again, and he didn't know how many times he jumped on the spot.
In the uninhabited wilderness and the secret cave, Xingqiu had already seen the peerless secret book waving to him.
Chongyun was not as excited as Xingqiu. He looked at the corridor in the blue light.
The yin energy in it almost suppressed the yang energy in him.
Facing the evil spirits, Chongyun had the idea of retreating for the first time. This level of Yin Qi would never be possible even for the great monsters who were active in ghost stories in "The Chronicles of the Demonic and Evil Chronicles".
Chongyun even suspected that what was suppressed inside was not a specific evil at all, but an aggregation of countless evil spirits.
"Let's go, this is the only chance to see Yaoxie." Yu Jin held up Xingqiu's collar and waved to Zhongyun.
Speaking of which, Xingqiu is really a noisy kid. If Huo Yan hadn't grabbed his collar, he would have disappeared by now.
"Have you seen Yaoxie?" Chongyun raised his head and looked at the embers. The scene where Yi Yan had just "forcibly demolished" the door appeared in his mind, and his hanging heart slowly dropped.
There were still embers, so why should he worry? Taking a step back, even if Yi Yan has no way to deal with the evil spirits, judging from the speed he just showed, Chong Yun probably has nothing that can catch up with him.
At worst, you can run away!
Thinking of this, Chongyun's heart suddenly dropped.
"Here we come, but before that, I have to prepare." Chongyun took a deep breath while rummaging through the boxes.
Then under the shocked gazes of Yu Yan and Xingqiu, Chongyun covered his whole body with glowing talismans.
He completely turned himself into a walking light bulb.
Chapter 368 Fireworks

"Da da da!"
In the deep and blue-lit corridor, there was the sound of steel hitting stone one after another.
Xingqiu's expression has changed from the initial excitement to numbness. I originally thought that this journey to eliminate demons would be thrilling, but now it seems...
"Chongyun, come to the back! My eyes are shining!" Xingqiu rubbed his red eyes and pulled Chongyun, who was covered in talismans, behind him.
Chongyun was the one walking in front among the three. The light emitted by the talisman on his body was so great that it directly illuminated the dark underground corridor. There was no gloomy atmosphere that should be expected in a place to suppress evil spirits.
"This..., okay, but if you encounter anything, remember to run to me as soon as possible."
Chongyun thought for a moment and followed Xingqiu's wishes to the end.
In fact, he wanted to use his fierce yang energy to drive away the hidden evil spirits, but after walking for so long, except that the yin energy became more and more intense, he didn't even see any shadow of the evil spirits.
In addition, Chongyun considered that Xingqiu might have to help his father settle accounts in the future, and a pair of good eyes would be indispensable. Fortunately, he backed down.
"This place is quite big. I don't know what is in it." Yi Yan raised his head, and because of the Chongyun brand light bulb, he was able to see the entire corridor clearly.
The corridor is wide and long, leading directly to the ground. Its width and height are both large enough to accommodate the heavy machinery traveling with the ruins.
What's even more thoughtful is that whenever Ember and others come, the blue lights on both sides of the corridor will light up.
If there were no heavy clouds, this would probably be the only light here.
"As for this, although I don't know what exactly will be here, it must be an extremely troublesome guy."
Chongyun raised his arm to make the angle of the light more suitable. He saw many Yaksha auspicious beasts carved on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which in Liyue symbolized exorcising evil.
The corridor extends to the depths of the earth. Walking in it, you will be surrounded by almost identical scenes, which makes people wonder if they have fallen into the legendary "Ghost Beating the Wall".
But that's impossible. Even if he is really trapped in the ghost wall, Chongyun can get rid of the hidden evil ghost.
The unchanging scene finally changed. The flickering blue candlelight in the distance suddenly disappeared. When Chongyun approached with his own light, everyone discovered that there was a vast open space at the end of the corridor.
"Boom!"
Just like the corridor, after noticing someone's arrival, blue candlelight suddenly lit up one after another in the open space.
Maybe it's because blue light alone isn't enough to illuminate the wide open space. In addition to the blue fire that is no different from the candlelight, there are several more red lanterns on the ground here.
The red lanterns that were originally used to decorate the festive season suddenly appeared in such a gloomy place. Chongyun and Xingqiu couldn't help but tremble when they saw this scene.
Through the thin red and blue light covering the ground, everyone could clearly see the structure of this place.
This place seems to be transformed from a natural cave. Except for the stone slabs laid on the ground, the cave wall still retains traces of groundwater erosion.
This cave is very large. Just the square paved with stone slabs on the ground is almost as big as the Thousand Winds Temple.
If the rest of the space is included, it may be enough to accommodate the entire Thousand Winds Temple.
Because the place is so large, the glowing cloud looks more like a light bulb.
"It's so big." Xingqiu felt extremely surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. Who could have imagined that there would be a cave beneath the ordinary-looking Cuijue Slope?
"It's really big, but where are the evil spirits?" Chongyun looked around. There was no evil wind or roar of ghosts here. It looked like an underground ruin that had never been discovered by anyone before.
Although discovering new ruins is also very exciting, for Chongyun, these are not as important as seeing Yaoxie.
"Be careful."
“$#…”
As soon as Yi Yan finished speaking, a mechanical sound that was quite familiar to the three came from the heights shrouded in darkness.
What followed was a shimmering orange-red light. This light is easy to distinguish, because this is something that every adventurer outside has experienced - that is, being locked by the missiles guarded by the ruins.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Why are there ruin guards here?"
The roaring explosion and the sweeping heat wave were also mixed with Xingqiu's confused shouts.
Although everyone says that ruin guards can be seen everywhere, it is too outrageous that they can still be seen in such deep underground ruins.
What's more, this ruins was clearly sealed by a large formation before. Is it possible that the ruins guards will also be able to break Liyue's formation?
Although doubts kept popping up in his mind, Xingqiu's actions did not stop at all.
"Take my Rain-Cutting Sword Technique!"
Xingqiu said so, but he used one and two kicks.
The light blue water waves covered Xingqiu's toes, turning them into sharp blades capable of breaking steel.
"Wow!"
The tip of his toes brought up waves of white water, shredding all the missiles that came towards Xingqiu.
The violent gray-black gunpowder was thrown out of the steel shell, and there was no longer any possibility of burning.
In the distance, Chongyun was not to be outdone. He took out a two-handed sword that was about the same height as him and struck the incoming missile with a strike.
"Linlang vibrates, and there is silence in all directions!"
"Click——, bang!"
Frost and fire appeared at the same time, but it was obvious that the frost was even better. It suppressed the spewing gunpowder and silenced the originally deafening explosion.
It sounds similar to the firecrackers set off by children during the Hai Lantern Festival.
"Where's senior?" Xingqiu saw that Chongyun was fine, so he looked around for the embers.
"Set off firecrackers."
The sound of embers suddenly sounded, and his figure suddenly appeared between Xingqiu and Chongyun, holding several slender steel creations in his hands.
Xingqiu took a closer look and almost jumped three feet high. Isn't this the missile of the ruin guard? Why did he end up in Ember's hands?
"Senior is in danger, the missiles guarded by the ruins are very powerful!" Xingqiu was about to throw away the missile in Yu Yan's hand.
Although they usually cut down the ruins guards like melons and vegetables, they are all based on the ruins of the ruins guards being in disrepair.
Most of the ruins guards wandering on the ground lack maintenance, not to mention the mentally retarded ruins guards who wander around and end up in the water.
Even if missiles are released, most of them are moving randomly. There are even fewer who can hit the enemy.
But this does not mean that the ruins guards are not in danger. Anyone who sees the deep pit blown out by the missile has to consider whether his body is as thick as the depth of the big hole on the ground.
"呲——,咻——"
"boom!"
"Kakaka!"
The fire appeared, the fire wandered, the fire stretched, the fire exploded, and the ruin hunter landed.
"What? What did you say?" Yan Yan ran over with a large push of fuse missiles.
"..."
"It's nothing, I just want to remind senior that your face is dark." Xingqiu said with a painful look on his face when he saw the relic hunter spraying sparks in the distance.
"Is there any?" Yi Jin touched his helmet, and several scratches immediately appeared on it.
