Chapter 261: Sacrificial Ritual
The power of the thunder bead, although it could not kill the Fire Cloud Wolf, made the Fire Cloud Wolf's speed slow down slightly.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen took out a battle map.
Under the urging of true qi, the inscription in the battle map lit up, and ten purple-horned beasts rushed out, and at the same time, the fire cloud wolf pounced.
The combat power of each Purple Horned Beast is comparable to that of a martial artist of the Great Perfection of the Earth Extreme Realm.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen immediately retreated, rushed into the formation, and fled back to Yueji City.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen rushed into the formation, a loud bang sounded behind him, and the entire city protection array shook violently.
Just now, the Fire Cloud Wolf crushed the ten purple-horned beasts, caught up with Zhang Ruochen, and struck Zhang Ruochen with one claw, only almost hitting Zhang Ruochen's back, but fortunately, its claws were blocked by the city protection formation. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be seriously injured.
"Such a powerful fire cloud wolf, ten purple-horned beasts, it only blocked the time for its two breaths. ”
Zhang Ruochen got up from the ground exhausted, looked at the battle map in his hand, and found that the light on the battle map had dimmed a little.
The power of the battle map, each time it is used, it will be reduced.
If Zhang Ruochen urged the Purple Horned Beast Diagram now, he would only be able to release ten Purple Horned Beasts with small poles in the Earth Extreme Realm
。 The third time he urged, it was estimated that he could only release ten purple horned beasts in the early stage of the Earth Extreme Realm.
After taking a healing elixir, Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed to the altar in the center of the city, took out all the brute beasts in the two storage bracelets and one storage ring, and put them on the altar.
There were a total of twenty-seven brute beast corpses, piled up into a hill of bloody corpses.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen went to the city again and collected all the barbarian birds that were shot down by the formation.
The carcasses of one hundred and seventy-eight barbarian birds were also placed on the altar by Zhang Ruochen.
"The number of brute beasts and brute birds is still a little small, and some more must be hunted. ”
Zhang Ruochen sat under the altar and began to recuperate from his injuries, which took about half an hour, and his injuries recovered fifty percent.
Stopping recuperating from his injuries, Zhang Ruochen carried the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, rushed out of the city protection array again, and continued to hunt the brute beasts.
Unlike before, Zhang Ruochen did not deliberately go head-to-head with those fourth-order brute beasts, but could avoid those fourth-order brute beasts and only hunt low-level brute beasts.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen knocked out a thunder bead, and the electric light released killed more than a dozen first-order brute beasts, and the corpses were scorched black, and a large piece fell.
Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed over and put the brute beast corpse into the storage ring.
Just when the fourth-order brute beast "Lion-headed Bull King" rushed over, Zhang Ruochen had already fled back to Yueji City first.
Placing the brute beast on the altar, Zhang Ruochen secretly went out of the city from another direction and continued to hunt the brute beast.
"What is Zhang Ruochen's idea, does he think that the speed at which he hunts brute beasts can catch up with the speed at which I summon brute beasts?" Ling Xian Su stared down with some confusion, very puzzled by Zhang Ruochen's actions.
Ling Xiansu would never have imagined that Zhang Ruochen wanted to hunt brute beasts and prepare to start the sacrificial ceremony in Yueji City.
Every time Zhang Ruochen rushed out of the city, Ling Xiansu immediately ordered the fourth-order brute beast to kill him.
However, Zhang Ruochen was quite cunning, hiding near the city wall every time, just playing thunder beads, or battle maps, hunting batch after batch of brute beasts, and collecting storage bracelets.
By the end of the evening, the corpses of four hundred and seventy-seven brute beasts had been piled up on the altar, forming a blood-red mountain of corpses.
"The blood of the brute beasts, coupled with the blood of tens of thousands of human warriors in Yueji City, should be able to open the gate of the human gods and complete the sacrificial ceremony. Zhang Ruochen said excitedly.
In the Kunlun realm, generally speaking, only the winter solstice is the best time to sacrifice.
It is said that on the winter solstice, the divine realm is closest to the Kunlun realm, so the door of the human god is the easiest to open.
Even a small sacrifice in just a village can open the door to human gods.
However, once the winter solstice has passed, it is difficult to open the door of the human gods, and only by using a hundred times the blood qi can the doors of the human gods be opened and the sacrificial rites can be completed.
Outside the city, the attacks of those brute beasts became more violent, the walls in some places had been shattered, and the light of the city protection formation became weaker and weaker
。
There is a hill that is a hundred miles away from Yueji City.
On the top of the mountain, two figures stood.
The person at the head of them looked to be in his early twenties, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, a straight nose, and eyes like torches, giving people a sense of handsomeness and majesty.
This person is the first day of the thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Mountains, Zhang Tiangui.
Among the disciples of the Yuntai Sect's Inner Mansion, the third-ranked figure, Lu Qiankun, stared at the direction of Yueji City, a little anxious, and said, "Senior brother, the great protective array of Yueji City is about to be shattered, can we make a move?"
Zhang Tiangui put his hands behind his back, shook his head gently, and said, "Don't worry, wait." ”
"Why?" Lu Qiankun was puzzled.
The corners of Zhang Tiangui's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled: "Now is not the time." ”
Lu Qiankun is an honest man, so he naturally doesn't understand Zhang Tiangui's plan.
To save people, we must definitely save them, but the key is how to save them? When will we save them?
Han Yun is not dangerous enough now, and saving her at this time cannot maximize the benefits.
Only when she was most dangerous, when she was most helpless, did Zhang Tiangui suddenly appear, which made her more grateful and moved.
To deal with women, you have to use some means, otherwise how can they be obedient?
How could an idiot like Lu Qiankun understand his good intentions.
This is an opportunity to get Han Yun's heart, how could Zhang Tiangui let go of such a God-given opportunity?
"Zhang Ruochen seems to be also in Yueji City, just right, by the way, he also did it, and it is always a disaster to keep him. Zhang Tiangui looked very calm, looking at Yueji City in the distance lightly, with a confident light in his eyes.
He's going to keep waiting, waiting for the best time to make a move.
The battle in Yueji City was very tragic, Han Yun activated the attack formations one after another, and he didn't know how many brute beasts and barbarian birds he had killed.
Another half an hour passed, and the energy of the five attack formations was completely exhausted.
In the entire Yueji City, there are only two defensive formations and one protective formation left. It was only a matter of time before the formation was breached.
Han Yun stood on top of the city wall, looking at the endless stream of brute beasts, and finally felt a little powerless, and said hurriedly: "Zhang Ruochen, what should I do now?" The reinforcements from the Wushi Academy Palace and the Yuntai Sect Mansion did not arrive, and the defensive formation could still support a stick of incense at most. ”
"If we can break through the realm, maybe we can kill it. ”
Zhang Ruochen walked into the stone gate under the altar, came to the edge of the divine pool, and read out a sacrificial text according to his memory. He pressed his hands on the stone wall, and the spiritual fire true qi in his body poured out from his palms, gradually spreading out, covering the entire altar.
"Sacrifice ceremony, let's begin!"
"Boom!"
The huge altar began to rotate slowly.
A blood-red pillar of light rushed up from the center of the altar, shattering the clouds in the sky, as if rushing into the vast universe
。
The sky, turning blood red.
In the center of that blood-red patch, it was as if a gate had been opened, and there was chaos in the door, and a rain of light fell, sprinkled on Yueji City.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground and began to communicate with the soul vein.
A pillar of light rushed out from the top of his head, condensing into a soul shadow that looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen.
That soul shadow flew out, suspended in the sky above the divine pool, and began to absorb the sacrificial power that was free in the air.
Han Yun stood aside, not knowing what Zhang Ruochen was going to do?
When the martial spirit rushed out of Zhang Ruochen's body, she was finally shocked, the expression on her face was completely dull, as if she was petrified, and her lips grew into an "O" shape.
He ...... Cultivated the martial soul ......"
In the martial arts myth of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, few people can cultivate the martial soul, but Zhang Ruochen is only in the extreme realm, but he has already cultivated the martial soul.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen's martial soul is extremely sacred, like a phantom of a god, which makes Han Yun have the urge to kneel and worship.
The martial soul suspended above the Divine Pond glanced at Han Huan, and actually spoke: "What are you still doing in a daze, come over immediately, sit in front of me, and I will teleport a part of the sacrificial power into your body." With the help of the power of sacrifice, you may be able to ease the two forces in your body and resolve the crisis you encounter in your cultivation. ”
Han Yun felt the oppressive power from Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit, as if he had received the will of the gods, and walked to Zhang Ruochen's side reverently.
She sat cross-legged opposite Zhang Ruochen, slowly raised a pair of snow-white jade arms, and butted them with Zhang Ruochen's hands.
"Boom!"
As soon as he made contact with Zhang Ruochen's hands, Han Yun felt an electric shock.
A surging sacrificial power poured into her body from her right hand, rushing into the meridians and surging into the sea of qi.
Under the impact of that sacrificial force, she felt like a duckweed in the sea, and her body could be torn apart by that force at any time.
"Don't panic, calm down, run the Most Holy Qiankun Gong, and try to absorb the power of the sacrifice. ”
Just when Han Yun was panicking, Zhang Ruochen's voice was like a sacred heavenly sound, reaching her mind.
Gradually, Han Yu regained his composure, closed his eyes, and began to operate the exercises according to Zhang Ruochen's instructions.
The power of sacrifice is the most sacred power, and it is also the most inclusive power, after entering her meridians, it began to run around her whole body, completing a great Zhou Tian, and finally poured back into Zhang Ruochen's body meridians from the palm of her left hand.
In this way, the power of sacrifice completed one after another Great Zhou Tian in her body.
The meridians slowly absorbed that power, and her martial arts realm was improving step by step.
In the sea of qi, the hedge between the dark true qi and the supreme holy Qiankun true qi became weaker and weaker, as if they were about to merge together. The two true qi form a black and white true qi flow, which, together with the power of sacrifice, operates in the meridians.
