Chapter 535
Fu Shaoping glanced around and immediately found Yun Zhenjun in trouble. At this time, Yun Zhenjun's spiritual shield was dim, flickering like a candle in the wind. Although he was still swinging the sword in his hand, he could not hide his fatigue. The attack of a soul-suppressing beast was extremely fierce. Every collision made Yun Zhenjun's body shake and his steps stagger. Its nine tails were like nine agile poisonous snakes, constantly whipping the spiritual shield, making a "pa pa" sound, and the cracks on the shield spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fu Shaoping's heart tightened, and he ran towards Yun Zhenjun without hesitation, shouting loudly: "Wan'er, follow me to help Yun Zhenjun!" Nangong Wan followed Fu Shaoping without any hesitation.
As Fu Shaoping ran, he recalled the twelve Thunder Swords that were still in the sword formation. The twelve Thunder Swords turned into twelve blue streams of light and instantly gathered in front of him. He quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted: "Thunder shakes the nine heavens, sword shadows are countless, fast!" The twelve Thunder Swords flew out instantly, with a piercing whistle, shooting towards the soul-suppressing beast. Each sword contained a powerful force of thunder and lightning, and arcs jumped around the sword body. The air was ionized wherever it passed, leaving a series of blue tracks.
The Soul-Suppressing Beast sensed the attack from behind, and it diverted some of its attention, turned around and sprayed out a black poisonous mist, trying to block the attack of the Thunder Sword. The poisonous mist was like a surging tide, emitting a pungent smell, and wherever it went, the stones were instantly corroded, and bursts of green smoke emerged.
Nangong Wan saw this and immediately used the formation to assist. The jade talisman in her hand flashed, and she quickly chanted a spell. In the space around Yun Zhenjun and Fu Shaoping, golden lines appeared one after another, and these lines intertwined to form a huge golden formation. "Spiritual power flows, destroying evil and removing filth!" Nangong Wan shouted, and a powerful purifying spiritual power surged out of the formation and rushed towards the black poisonous fog. The purifying spiritual power collided with the poisonous fog, making a "sizzling" sound, and the poisonous fog was gradually dispelled by the purifying spiritual power, revealing the Thunder Sword behind it.
The twelve Thunder Swords took advantage of the gap when the poisonous fog was dispelled and instantly hit the Soul-Suppressing Beast. "Boom boom boom" a series of explosions sounded, and the lightning power of the Thunder Swords raged in the Soul-Suppressing Beast's body. The Soul-Suppressing Beast's body was wrapped in lightning, and it roared in pain. There were charred marks on its body, and several of its nine tails were broken by lightning and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of green liquid.
Yun Zhenjun was refreshed when he saw Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan coming to support him. He took the opportunity to adjust his state, and the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly, and the originally dim spiritual power shield lit up again. He held the long sword with both hands and shouted: "Sword breaks the sky!" A huge blue sword energy shot out from his long sword and slashed towards the soul-suppressing beast.
After being attacked by the Thunder Sword, the Soul-Suppressing Beast had not yet fully recovered when it was attacked by Yun Zhenjun's sword energy. It roared angrily and tried to dodge, but the sword energy was too fast. The sword energy slashed the Soul-Suppressing Beast's body, leaving a deep wound, and green blood gushed out like a fountain.
Fu Shaoping took this opportunity to take out the innate spiritual treasure, the broken sword. He poured all the spiritual power in his body into the broken sword, and the broken sword emitted a dazzling light, and the ancient runes flickered and flowed in the light. Fu Shaoping held the broken sword in his hand, and his figure flashed, and he instantly came in front of the soul-suppressing beast. He shouted: "Die!" He swung the broken sword in his hand with all his strength, and a sword energy containing the power of destroying the world slashed towards the soul-suppressing beast. Wherever this sword energy passed, the space was distorted, and the surrounding spiritual power was stirred into chaos.
Nangong Wan used the formation again to increase the power of Fu Shaoping's attack. She set up an amplification formation to gather all the surrounding spiritual power into Fu Shaoping's sword energy. The power of the sword energy instantly increased several times, like a huge beam of light, directly hitting the soul-suppressing beast.
The Soul-Suppressing Beast let out a shrill scream, and its body gradually began to dissipate under the attack of the sword energy. Finally, with a huge roar, the Soul-Suppressing Beast completely turned into nothingness.
Master Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan with gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you both for your help. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would be dead today." Fu Shaoping smiled and said, "Master Yun, you're too polite. We are all in the spiritual world, and it's only natural for us to help each other." Nangong Wan also nodded slightly.
At this time, several other Divine Transformation monks also dealt with the soul-suppressing beasts they were facing. The Mad Blade Venerable held a long sword, and although he had several wounds on his body, he was in high spirits; the Purple Ling Fairy put away the colorful ribbon, with a triumphant smile on her face; the Xuanfeng Elder had his hands behind his back, his expression calm. Everyone gathered together, looking at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the relief of surviving the disaster.
After this fierce battle, the relationship between them seemed to have become much closer. They were no longer strangers who formed a temporary team simply to explore the cave ruins, but partners who supported each other in the life-and-death battle.
After the battle, the corpses of the soul-suppressing beasts were scattered everywhere. These corpses exuded a strange aura, and even though they were dead, they seemed to contain some dangerous power.
Fu Shaoping spoke first: "These corpses of soul-suppressing beasts cannot be left here randomly. They might hide unknown hidden dangers." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yun Zhenjun walked forward and carefully observed the corpse of a soul-suppressing beast, saying, "This soul-suppressing beast had great spiritual power when it was alive, and there must be a lot of spiritual power left in its corpse. If it can be properly handled, perhaps we can use it." Kuang Dao Zun responded in a rough voice, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and clean it up and see if you can find any treasures."
So, everyone started to move. Nangong Wan cast a spell, using his spiritual power to turn into silk threads, and tied up several smaller corpses of the soul-suppressing beasts for easy transportation. Fairy Zi Ling took out a jade bottle and collected the green blood flowing from the wounds of the soul-suppressing beasts. She said, "This blood may have special effects. Take it back and study it."
Fu Shaoping was in charge of dealing with the corpse of a huge soul-suppressing beast. He used his spiritual power and used his hands to generate a strong suction force, trying to take out the spiritual power core from the corpse. This spiritual power core is the source of the soul-suppressing beast's power. If it can be obtained, it will be of great help to the practitioner's spiritual power improvement. After some effort, Fu Shaoping successfully took out the spiritual power core. This core exuded a faint green light, and there seemed to be spiritual power flowing inside.
Elder Xuanfeng was cleaning up the debris around the corpses of the Soul-Suppressing Beasts to prevent these evil things from polluting the surrounding environment. While cleaning, he reminded everyone: "Everyone, be careful. These corpses may still have the resentment of the Soul-Suppressing Beasts. Don't let it affect your mind."
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the corpses of the soul-suppressing beasts were cleaned up one by one. Some valuable parts were properly preserved, while those corpses that had no use value were burned by everyone with magic. The raging flames burned the corpses of the soul-suppressing beasts into ashes, and the air was filled with a burnt smell. After dealing with the corpses of the soul-suppressing beasts, everyone took a short rest and recovered some physical and spiritual strength. Everyone cheered up and walked deeper into the cave with expectation and vigilance.
As they walked deeper into the winding passage, the temperature around them gradually dropped, and the air was filled with a damp and stale smell. The runes on the wall became denser and the flashing light became more and more strange, as if resisting their approach.
Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of him. The stone door was engraved with complex patterns, including ancient star tracks, mysterious biological forms, and some unrecognizable runes. Fu Shaoping walked forward and tried to use his spiritual power to sense the situation behind the stone door, but a strong resistance bounced his spiritual power back.
Seeing this, the Mad Blade Master shouted loudly, raised his long sword and chopped at the stone door. With a loud "clang", the long sword chopped on the stone door, sparks flew, but it did not cause any damage to the stone door. Fairy Zi Ling frowned and said, "This stone door is so solid, there must be a mechanism to open it. Let's look around."
Everyone began to disperse and search carefully around the stone gate. Nangong Wan found a concave rune pattern on one side of the stone gate, which was somewhat similar to a certain activation rune she had seen in ancient books before. She tried to inject spiritual power into it, and the rune lit up slightly, but the stone gate still did not move.
Yun Zhenjun found a row of rotating stone plates on the other side of the stone gate, which were also engraved with runes. He tried to rotate the stone plates in a certain order, and as the stone plates rotated, the patterns on the stone gate seemed to change slightly. Fu Shaoping was keenly aware of this, and he and Yun Zhenjun studied the rotation rules of the stone plates. After many attempts, they finally found the correct order.
As the last stone plate rotated into place, the stone door made a dull roar and slowly opened. A powerful spiritual wave rushed over, which refreshed everyone. Behind the door was a huge circular space. In the center of the space, a stone platform emitting colorful light was suspended. The stone platform was surrounded by nine stone dragons, and their eyes flashed red light, as if they were guarding the stone platform.
"This stone platform looks unusual, there might be important treasures on it." The Mad Blade Master couldn't wait to rush over. Fu Shaoping quickly stopped him, "Don't be in a hurry, the stone dragons around here are weird, we should be careful."
Everyone approached the stone platform cautiously. When they were still ten feet away from the platform, the nine stone dragons suddenly moved.
Fu Shaoping's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that these nine stone dragons were no ordinary creatures. He shouted with a serious look: "Everyone be careful, this stone dragon is a divine stone puppet, and it possesses five magical powers. Don't underestimate the enemy!" When everyone heard this, their expressions became stern and they all took alert.
Nangong Wan's beautiful eyes flashed with determination. She knew the danger of this battle and secretly made up her mind to assist Fu Shaoping with all her strength. Fu Shaoping quickly made arrangements. He and Nangong Wan were responsible for dealing with the three stone puppets, and the other several incarnation monks dealt with the remaining stone puppets.
Fu Shaoping took the lead in launching the attack. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and the spiritual power around him surged wildly. "Daluo Vajra Seal!" With a loud shout, a huge golden seal condensed between his hands. The runes on the seal flickered, emitting an unparalleled force. The golden seal rushed towards a stone puppet with a whistling sound. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be compressed by this force, making a "buzzing" sound.
Nangong Wan saw this and immediately used the formation to assist. The jade talisman in her hand flashed, and she quickly chanted the spell. In the space around Fu Shaoping, golden lines appeared one after another, and these lines intertwined to form a huge golden formation. "Spiritual power flows, amplifying power!" Nangong Wan shouted, and a powerful spiritual power surged out of the formation and merged into the Daluo Vajra Seal. The Daluo Vajra Seal, which was already powerful, now shone brightly, with faster speed and stronger power.
The stone puppet seemed to sense the danger. Its eyes glowed red and a black spiritual power torrent gushed out of its mouth, rushing towards the Daluo Vajra Seal. The black spiritual power torrent collided with the golden seal, making a deafening roar. The spiritual power overflowed in the space, forming a series of spiritual power storms, blowing everyone's clothes rustling.
Without any pause, Fu Shaoping immediately used the "Qian Kun Reversal Palm". His palm instantly became extremely huge, and a chaotic spiritual light surrounded his body. This palm contained the power to turn the world upside down, and it slapped the stone puppet fiercely. Wherever the palm wind passed, cracks appeared in the space, as if the entire space was about to be torn apart by this palm.
Nangong Wan cast a formation again, gathering the surrounding spiritual power onto Fu Shaoping's palm. "Spiritual power gathers, palm power shakes the sky!" As Nangong Wan's spell fell, Fu Shaoping's Qiankun Niu Luan Palm became even more powerful. The stone puppet was hit by this palm, and its body shook slightly, and some cracks appeared on the stone on its body.
However, the stone puppet did not give up. It suddenly used a magical power, and a black shield appeared around its body, which was engraved with mysterious runes. This shield not only had amazing defensive power, but also could bounce back some of the attacking force. Fu Shaoping's attack hit the shield, and some of the force bounced back, causing his body to sway slightly.
Fu Shaoping was secretly shocked. The magical power of this stone puppet was indeed powerful. But he did not retreat. Instead, he aroused his fighting spirit. He recalled the twelve Thunder Swords that were still in the sword formation. The twelve Thunder Swords turned into twelve blue streams of light and instantly gathered in front of him. He quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted: "Thunder shakes the nine heavens, sword shadows are thousands, fast!" The twelve Thunder Swords flew out in an instant, with a piercing whistle, and shot towards the stone puppet. Each sword contained a powerful thunder and lightning force. Arcs jumped around the sword body, and the air was ionized wherever it passed, leaving a series of blue tracks.
Nangong Wan immediately used the formation to increase the power of the Thunder Sword. "Amplify the lightning, and the sword will destroy the evil spirits!" A powerful lightning spirit surged out of the formation and merged into the Thunder Sword. The power of the Thunder Sword instantly increased several times, and the arc on the sword became thicker and stabbed towards the stone puppet frantically. (End of this chapter)
