Chapter 552
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan walked out of the ruins with difficulty, still exhausted from fighting the corpse puppets. The sun shone on them, but it failed to dispel the tension and vigilance in their hearts. The mountains and forests outside the ruins were quiet, but they knew that the danger might not be far away.
"Shao Ping, we have made a great harvest this time, but we must also be careful. There may be other people around the ruins who covet these treasures." Nangong Wan said softly, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly, holding the broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure tightly in his hand, and said: "Don't worry, Wan'er, I am here and will not let you get hurt. Let's leave this dangerous place quickly."
However, before they could take a long step, a cold laugh came from the woods. "Humph, you two little kids, you must have gained a lot from the ruins. Hand over everything, and I can spare your life."
Following the sound, a tall man slowly walked out of the woods. He exuded a powerful aura of the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, which rushed towards him like a surging tide. Beside him, a huge spiritual pet also appeared. This spiritual pet was shaped like a tiger, but had a pair of huge wings. It exuded a strange light all over its body. It was also in the Spiritualization Realm, and it faintly revealed an aura that was more powerful than that of an ordinary Spiritualization Realm.
Fu Shaoping frowned, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He knew that the robber and his pet were not to be underestimated, but he would not easily give up the gains that he and Nangong Wan had exchanged their lives for. "If you want our things, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Fu Shaoping shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and fearlessness.
Nangong Wan's pretty face was solemn. She quickly took out the formation jade slip and began to circulate her spiritual power to set up the formation. "Shao Ping, I will use the formation to assist you. You just need to be careful."
The robber sneered, "You two dare to resist? Black Wind, come on, take care of this kid first." The spirit pet named Black Wind roared, flapped its wings, and instantly turned into a black shadow and pounced towards Fu Shaoping. Its speed was so fast that the airflow it brought up blew the surrounding trees to the ground, and the branches and leaves fluttered in the wind.
Seeing this, Fu Shaoping quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and instantly performed the Daluo Vajra Seal. A huge golden seal condensed on his hands, with runes flashing on the seal, exuding an ancient and powerful aura. The golden seal smashed towards Heifeng with a destructive force, and bursts of explosions were heard in the air. Heifeng was not in a hurry, and it performed the first magical power - Wind Escape. In an instant, its body merged into the wind and disappeared without a trace. The wind seemed to have life, carrying the breath of Heifeng, and quickly circulated around Fu Shaoping, making it difficult for him to grasp its exact location.
Fu Shaoping was startled, and he quickly circulated his spiritual power, creating a layer of golden light around his body, forming a defensive barrier. This barrier was like a real thing, shining with golden light, tightly protecting him.
Nangong Wan was watching Heifeng's movements through the formation. She concentrated her mind, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands quickly slid across the formation jade slips, extending the power of the formation, trying to lock Heifeng's position. "Shao Ping, Heifeng is on your left!" Nangong Wan reminded loudly.
Fu Shaoping reacted immediately. He used the Qiankun Reversal Palm. As he waved his palms, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged wildly. Two huge spiritual palms appeared out of thin air, and with the power to reverse the universe, they slapped towards the location where Heifeng was. Wherever these two spiritual palms passed, the space was distorted, as if being kneaded by an invisible big hand.
Black Wind emerged from the wind, and it used its second magical power - shield strengthening. A layer of black spiritual power shield instantly formed in front of it, and the runes on the shield flickered, like a burning black flame. When it collided with Fu Shaoping's Qiankun Niluan Palm, a strong light burst out, and the huge impact force shattered the surrounding trees, and the branches and leaves flew, as if it was raining leaves. The aftermath of the spiritual power spread out in all directions like surging waves, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Fu Shaoping knew that he could not give Heifeng and the robbers a chance to breathe, so he immediately used the Prisoner Ice Seal. He waved his hands quickly, and the temperature around him dropped sharply, as if he had instantly entered a world of ice and snow. Countless ice spikes protruded from the ground, like sharp spears, stabbing at Heifeng. At the same time, huge ice blocks fell from the sky, each as big as a house, with a whistling sound, trying to seal Heifeng in it.
Black Wind felt threatened, and used its third magical power - flame jet. A raging fire spurted out of Black Wind's mouth. The fire was strangely black, hot and corrosive, and instantly turned the surroundings into a sea of fire. The ice ridges melted quickly in the sea of fire, making a sizzling sound, and the ice was also evaporated by the high temperature, turning into white mist. The sea of fire in the hell spread towards Fu Shaoping, and wherever it went, the trees were ignited and turned into huge torches.
Fu Shaoping quickly used the Star Scimitar. A scimitar emitting brilliant starlight appeared in Fu Shaoping's hand, with mysterious runes flashing on the blade, as if it contained the power of the stars. He swung it vigorously, and the scimitar turned into a meteor-like light, with a whistling sound, and slashed towards the sea of fire. Wherever the Star Scimitar passed, the sea of fire was split in two, and the powerful blade energy dispersed the flames, and the flames fell to both sides like cloth cut by a sharp blade.
Nangong Wan attacked again. She adjusted the flow of spiritual power around her through the formation jade slip, forming a spiritual power vortex in front of Fu Shaoping. This spiritual power vortex was like a huge black hole, directing the flames of the sea of fire to the side, preventing Fu Shaoping from being hurt. At the same time, she used the formation to enhance the power of Fu Shaoping's star scimitar. The light of the scimitar became more dazzling, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, leaving deep grooves on the ground.
Seeing this, Heifeng used his fourth magical power - soul impact. An invisible soul force rushed towards Fu Shaoping, and Fu Shaoping felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He had hallucinations in front of him, and saw himself in darkness, with countless terrifying monsters rushing towards him, some with bared fangs and claws, some with hideous faces, and making chilling screams.
Nangong Wan's heart tightened, she knew that Fu Shaoping had been hit by a soul shock. She hurriedly circulated her own spiritual power and transmitted a pure spiritual power into Fu Shaoping's body through the formation. This spiritual power was like warm sunshine, dispelling the darkness in Fu Shaoping's mind. With the help of this spiritual power, he gradually woke up. A surge of anger surged in his heart, and he decided to use a stronger spell. Fu Shaoping recalled the Star Scimitar, and then took out the twelve Thunder Swords. He formed seals with both hands, and the speed was as fast as a phantom. The twelve Thunder Swords instantly flew into the air and formed the Taiyi Sword Formation. Lightning flashed in the sword formation, making bursts of roars, as if the thunder in the sky had descended on the earth. Each Thunder Sword flashed with purple lightning, which jumped on the sword body and made crackling sounds. Fu Shaoping chanted a spell in his mouth, his voice was low and powerful, and the Taiyi Sword Formation shot towards the black wind at a rapid speed.
Black Wind felt the great power of the Taiyi Sword Formation, and it used its fifth magical power - space distortion. The space around Black Wind was distorted, like a crumpled cloth. When the Taiyi Sword Formation approached Black Wind, its speed slowed down significantly, and its direction became chaotic. Those Thunder Swords seemed to be trapped in an invisible vortex, struggling in it, unable to move forward smoothly.
Nangong Wan frowned, knowing that she had to break the space distortion of the black wind at this moment. She concentrated her mind and operated the formation with all her strength, introducing the power of the surrounding space law into the formation. Through the power of the formation, she forcibly stabilized the space around the Taiyi Sword Formation, allowing it to continue to attack the black wind. The runes in the formation flashed and the light was bright. A powerful force surged out of the formation, counteracting the space distortion of the black wind.
The Taiyi Sword Formation broke through the obstruction of space distortion and hit Black Wind with a powerful thunder and lightning force. Black Wind roared in pain, and cracks appeared on its spiritual shield. Black cracks spread like spider webs. Thunder and lightning raged on Black Wind, burning its hair and scorching its skin, emitting a pungent smell.
The robber saw Heifeng injured, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. "Humph, you have some skills, but that's all. Heifeng, use all your strength!" The robber said, and took out an acquired spiritual treasure - the Wind Sword. He injected spiritual power into the sword, and the Wind Sword made a whistling sound, and the runes on the sword body flashed. The wind surged out of the sword body, forming a series of sharp wind blades, shooting towards Fu Shaoping. The wind blades were like sharp blades, whistling in the air, cutting the surrounding air.
Black Wind received the order from the robbers, and it used its sixth magical power - the clone technique. In an instant, Black Wind's body split into several clones, which rushed towards Fu Shaoping from different directions. These clones were exactly the same as the original body, exuding the same powerful aura, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. They were extremely fast, and the sound of the wind they brought was like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Fu Shaoping felt the huge pressure, and he quickly used the innate spiritual treasure Broken Sword. He injected his own spiritual power into the Broken Sword, and the Broken Sword glowed brightly, emitting a sharp sword energy, which was like a silver dragon, slashing at the robbers and Heifeng's clones with a whistling sound. Wherever the sword energy passed, cracks were torn in the space, and faint light flashed in the cracks, as if leading to another mysterious world.
Nangong Wan used her full strength to perform the formation. She used the formation to enhance the power of Fu Shaoping's sword. The sword energy collided with the robber's wind sword and the clone of Black Wind, and a strong light burst out. The light was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it. The huge impact force shattered the surrounding ground, forming a huge pit.
However, the robbers and Black Wind's attacks did not stop. Black Wind used his seventh magical power - gravity control. The gravity of the space around him increased instantly. Fu Shaoping felt as if his body was pressed down by a mountain. Every step he took was extremely difficult. His legs seemed to be filled with lead, too heavy to lift, and his breathing became rapid.
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and activated the Hun Tianzhu. The Hun Tianzhu glowed and raised Fu Shaoping's strength to a small level. Fu Shaoping only felt a strong force pouring into his body, his spiritual power became stronger, and the pressure on his body was relieved a lot. His eyes became more determined, as if burning with fire.
Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to use his natal talisman seal. A talisman emitting a mysterious light appeared in his hand, and the runes on the talisman flashed with powerful power. Fu Shaoping threw the talisman towards Heifeng, and the talisman instantly turned into a huge light. The light was like a huge light shield, covering Heifeng and his clone. The runes flashed in the light, making bursts of mysterious sounds, as if an ancient spell was echoing.
Black Wind struggled in the light, and it used its eighth magical power - element fusion. Black Wind fused the three elements of wind, fire, and thunder together to form a powerful energy storm. The energy storm was like a huge vortex, spinning and rushing towards Fu Shaoping's natal spirit seal. In the storm, the wind whistled, the fire burned, and the thunder flashed. The three elements intertwined and formed a terrifying force.
The natal spirit seal collided with the energy storm, and the light splashed. The surrounding space was distorted beyond recognition by this powerful force. The stones on the ground were shaken and flew up, and the trees were uprooted and flew wildly in the air. Fu Shaoping felt a strong recoil force, and his body shook slightly, but he held the broken sword of the innate spirit treasure tightly and stabilized his body.
At this moment, the robber took the opportunity to launch an attack. He swung the Wind Sword and slashed towards Fu Shaoping with a gust of wind. Wherever the Wind Sword passed, the air was cut into pieces, making a sharp whistling sound. Fu Shaoping quickly used the Flying Demon Subduing Technique to protect his body. Fu Shaoping was surrounded by golden light, which was like a layer of armor, protecting him tightly. He turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the robber. The broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure in his hand slashed at the robber's Wind Sword with the power of destroying the world.
The two swords collided with each other, making a loud noise that shook the world. The loud noise was like a thunderclap, echoing in the mountains and forests. The robber only felt a strong force coming from the sword, his arm was numb, and the Wind Sword almost slipped out of his hand. His body was shaken and flew backwards, hitting a big tree, which fell down with a loud bang.
Nangong Wan saw Fu Shaoping and the robbers in a stalemate, and she knew she had to find a way to break this situation. She concentrated her mind and used all her strength to operate the formation, gathering all the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to Fu Shaoping. The spiritual energy around the formation surged like a tide, rushing towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping felt the powerful spiritual power from Nangong Wan, and his strength was enhanced again.
