Chapter 22: Desperate Situation
"This is demonic energy?"
Looking at Gu Chi who was covered in lines in the field, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes were slightly condensed, and his snort was heavy, although he had never experienced that kind of extreme evil aura personally, what he had seen and heard made it difficult for him to forget that kind of evil power to the extreme. It was precisely because of this that when he noticed the black aura that permeated Gu Chi's body, he knew the root cause at first glance.
However, what made him wonder in his heart was that the bronze coffin hanging behind the stone statue was not the resting place of the tomb owner, and why did the aura that permeated it be the same as the demonic energy?
"Swallow the blood of these people, and you will attain supreme power. ”
Just when Jiang Xiaoqi was puzzled, Gu Chi, who was in the center of the main hall, suddenly spoke, his cold words were mixed with evil, his pale face showed a hideous look, blue and red alternately, Gu Chi at this time gave people a more strange feeling.
"Give me your strength first, and then I'll help you devour the blood of these people. ”
Suddenly, Gu Chi's face changed again, and a painful look appeared on his hideous face, trembling all over, as if there was another soul in Gu Chi's body, fighting with him. The ever-changing look on his face expressed Gu Chi's struggle at this time, and the fluctuating spiritual power that permeated his body looked extremely weird.
"Hmph, even the humble ants dare to bargain with me. ”
The alternating blue and red expressions kept changing, pain and struggle emerged one by one, and in the end, Gu Chi's face was frozen in a gloomy expression, and the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth showed the final winner of the battle. However, judging from the faint gold of Gu Chi's body, he was still struggling in pain at this time.
"What a familiar taste. ”
'Gu Chi' looked at the familiar hall in front of him, his dark and deep eyes closed, snorting and sucking the bloody breath that permeated the hall, his arms stretched, feeling the scene that had once made him familiar.
"Why, the well-planned situation has finally come to fruition, ants, give me your lives. ”
At this time, 'Gu Chi''s closed eyes opened suddenly, his dark pupils swept over the people outside the main hall, his pale face swelled with greed, and the evil aura of slaughter emerged from his body out of thin air. Just when everyone outside the arena didn't know why, 'Gu Chi's body was filled with a rich black, like a viscous liquid, which made people sick.
Immediately afterwards, I saw 'Gu Chi''s fingers carved in the void, and strange patterns began to freeze in the void in front of him, and then, everyone's eyes froze, only to see the black viscous liquid that permeated Gu Chi's body, rushing into the strange patterns in front of him.
The next moment, everyone outside the main hall was shocked to find that their bodies had also begun to be filled with a dark evil aura, which continued to seep out from the pores, staining everyone's bodies like kraft candy, no matter how they expelled it, it was difficult to get rid of it.
"Ahh
With a scream from the crowd, the body of a weak martial artist began to fester, and under the black aura of the maggot like a tarsal bone, it began to wilt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the spiritual power around him was swallowed up by the black breath, and the flesh and blood on his body gradually disappeared under the corrosion of the black breath, and finally, in the desperate eyes of everyone, it turned into a white bone and scattered into pieces.
"Ah, get out of here, get out of here. ”
The negative emotions of despair, pain, and struggle spread among the crowd, but no matter how they screamed, it was difficult to escape the predetermined fate, and with countless screams, a crystal corpse appeared outside the main hall, scattered.
"It's a miasma outside the tomb. ”
Not only the people outside the main hall, but even Jiang Xiaoqi, who had just gotten up, felt that his qi and blood were surging, and there was a strange aura in his body that wanted to break out of his body, and the spiritual power in the Qu Chi surged, and soon erased the strange aura that existed in his body. Immediately, Jiang Xiaoqi found that the strange aura that had grown in his body was exactly the same as the one he had once detected in the poisonous miasma, but fortunately, he had swallowed the antidote pill in advance, and he was not surrounded by demonic qi like everyone outside the hall.
Although the detoxification pill could not shield all the poisonous miasma, it could restrict them from entering the human body to a large extent, so Huo Xin'er and Yan Hao, who had swallowed the detoxification pill, only changed their complexion slightly, and suppressed them with the strong spiritual power in their bodies.
As for Ximeng, she has never swallowed the pill that shields the miasma, but she is still safe, which can only show that her strength is strong to a certain point, and she can avoid the demonic energy in the miasma. However, Qi Yunqing was not so lucky, he was almost the same as Huo Xin'er and Yan Hao, and he was surrounded by a deep evil light, if it wasn't for his good background, he would have followed in the footsteps of everyone outside the hall at this time, but his situation at this time was still not optimistic.
After being seriously injured by Gu Chi and falling into a coma, Qi Yunqing never woke up, but with the help of Ximeng's elixir, he had regained consciousness not long ago, and his spiritual power was steadily improving. However, at present, he has encountered an unprecedented crisis, the two disciples who helped him protect the Dharma have died one after another, and he is the only one left to support him, but as the demonic qi is becoming more and more powerful, it has gradually reached its end. With the continuous growth of the demonic qi devouring spiritual power, Qi Yunqing could no longer withstand the nuisance of this evil aura, and was about to be devoured by the evil aura.
"Gather your spiritual powers, and don't try to drive away those demonic energy. ”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoqi flashed over, pointed at Qi Yunqing's eyebrows, and the azure spiritual power surged out, instantly covering him, and at the same time, Jiang Xiaoqi's words also fell on the latter's ear, and he said with a little urgency in his tone.
Qi Yunqing, who closed his eyes tightly for Jiang Xiaoqi's sudden arrival, was stunned for a moment, and after the latter's voice fell, he hesitated for a while, but the current critical moment no longer allowed him to struggle, just die and become a live horse doctor, even if he can't succeed, the end will not be worse than at this time. So, after Jiang Xiaoqi's words fell, Qi Yunqing relaxed his body, gathered all the spiritual power in his body, and hibernated in the Qu Chi.
"Nerd. ”
Regarding Jiang Xiaoqi's sudden move, Huo Xin'er was stunned at first, and then her pupils shrank, and a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes. She would never have thought that Jiang Xiaoqi would be so bold and take the initiative to provoke the demonic energy surrounding Qi Yunqing. After the weird scene just now, Huo Xin'er had already seen the horror of that evil aura, and ordinary people couldn't avoid it, but now, Jiang Xiaoqi took the initiative to cater to it, so she couldn't help but speak out.
"Hmph"
With a cold snort, Jiang Xiaoqi's body was full of light, and the azure spiritual power surged again, and Yan Shun's fingertips swept out of his body, enveloping Qi Yunqing's body, like driving a sheep into a circle, the black aura lingering on the latter's body gathered together, condensed into a ball, and began to purify with his own spiritual power.
The reason why Jiang Xiaoqi dared to act like this was because of his own spiritual power, he was only guessing in his heart before, but when he was just refining the evil aura in his body, he gradually became convinced that the power of the origin fragment could purify these evil breaths, assimilate them, and then dissipate in this heaven and earth.
It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Xiaoqi had the confidence to drive away the evil aura around Qi Yunqing's body, otherwise, it would be difficult to exclude him from his body with his own spiritual power alone. After all, the relationship between the two is not good enough to get into trouble at any cost.
"Po"
With a crisp sound, the evil aura wrapped in azure spiritual power in front of Qi Yunqing gradually disappeared, and then dissolved into intangibility and dissipated into the air. Then, Jiang Xiaoqi slowly withdrew his spiritual power, his eyebrows stretched, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and looked at Qi Yunqing, who opened his eyes in front of him.
"The great grace is not grateful, if Brother Jiang needs anything in the future, Qi will die and repay him. ”
Standing up, Qi Yunqing looked at Jiang Xiaoqi in front of him with a flat expression, his eyes were full of gratitude, his hands clenched his fists heavily, he bowed slightly to the latter, and thanked him solemnly.
"Brother Qi is serious. ”
Stretching out his hands to help Qi Yunqing's slightly yawned figure up, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled freely, and did not take credit in his words.
Rescuing Qi Yun Qingjiang Xiao Qi had his own plans in his heart. First, we can take care of each other in the current situation and deal with the battle together. Second, if he can leave safely today, Qi Yunqing's gratitude can give him one more foil on the road in the future. What he values is not Qi Yunqing himself, but the behemoth standing behind him, and the Fusang Holy Land is his original intention.
Some people may think that Jiang Xiaoqi's purpose of saving people is not pure, but the reality is often like this, there is no kindness for no reason, and a large part of the kindness expressed by others to you is because you have bargaining chips that are worth befriending.
"This guy is really..."
Jiang Xiaoqi's previous actions were all in their eyes, whether it was Yan Hao, Huo Xin'er or the spotless Ximeng, they were all ready for Qi Yunqing's fall, not that they were unwilling to rescue, but that kind of evil aura was too terrifying, and if they were contaminated, they would be burned, and it would be difficult for anyone to sacrifice their lives to rescue them when the two parties only had interests.
Therefore, they were a little puzzled by Jiang Xiaoqi's approach. Unexpectedly, this guy really succeeded in rescuing him, and he also forcibly refined that evil aura, which made them feel surprised, but at the same time, they also vaguely guessed something in their hearts, they could do this with their own spiritual power alone, and it was difficult to be convincing to say this.
"Whew"
At this time, no one survived outside the main hall, and there, only the white bones were piled up into a mountain, scattered together, like a cemetery, and the poignant appearance made people tremble.
And those evil aura that permeated from everyone's bodies continued to devour spiritual power, and it had grown to an unimaginable level, roaring around 'Gu Chi'. Then, those extremely dense evil aura was swallowed away by the open mouth of 'Gu Chi' in the solemn gaze of several people, accompanied by the strange lines of his chest that continued to crumble, and the blood marks that could reach the bone were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the black aura.
"It's delicious. ”
Licking his bright red lips, 'Gu Chi' felt the power in his body, a look of intoxication appeared on his pale cheeks, his eyes looked around at the piles of white bones piled up outside the main hall, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations in his dark pupils.
Then, I saw 'Gu Chi' figure turning, standing facing each other, his eyes scanning the few people left in the main hall, his pupils flashing with greed. However, when he looked around at Jiang Xiaoqi behind the crowd, the look on his face gradually became cold.
"You have a disgusting smell about you. ”
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiaoqi behind the crowd, and a touch of cold murderous intent appeared on Gu Chi's pale face. The scene where Jiang Xiaoqi had purified the demonic qi just now echoed in his mind, and 'Gu Chi' had a faint guess in his heart that it could make him feel such a strong sense of disgust, and there was nothing else except that kind of thing.
"Whew"
The wind was howling, and the figure of 'Gu Chi' standing in place suddenly disappeared, and only a trace of afterimage could be seen vaguely, and the next moment, his figure had already appeared in front of Jiang Xiaoqi, and the fist with the lingering black aura gradually enlarged in the latter's pupils.
"Bang"
With instinctive intuition, Jiang Xiaoqi felt a strong murderous aura rushing towards him, and without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Xiaoqi withdrew and flew back and galloped behind him. However, no matter how quickly Jiang Xiaoqi reacted, it was difficult to break free in the face of absolute strength.
The sandbag-sized fist slowly expanded in the pupils, and the next moment it had already hit Jiang Xiaoqi's chest. This punch didn't have the slightest fancy, some were just brutal to the extreme, 'Gu Chi' didn't even use the demonic energy, Jiang Xiaoqi was blasted out like a cannonball, and slammed into the stone pillar in the main hall, a mouthful of old blood gushed out, dyed his clothes red, and fell on the messy hall.
"Little Brother Jiang. ”
"Nerd"
Several shouts sounded at the same time, and the next moment, the few remaining figures in the main hall swept out at the same time, surrounded by roaring spiritual power, and the powerful offensive blasted towards 'Gu Chi' together.
"Hmph, the power of the ants. ”
'Gu Chi', who was just about to take another step, was interrupted by the sudden attack, and immediately snorted coldly, his eyes swept towards the oncoming attacks, and then, a black light and shadow slowly condensed in his palm, and he threw it out casually, catching up with the various spiritual skills that were roaring.
"Boom"
A grand explosion sounded in the main hall, and in the face of three different powerful attacks, the black light and shadow were like a tiger entering the flock, destroying it and crushing it away. Then, the black light and shadow did not decline, divided into three, and dragged the black tail wing and hit the three of them fiercely, just like Jiang Xiaoqi's embarrassed appearance, the figures of the three of them flew out and hit the stone pillars in the main hall, and the corners of their mouths were stained with red blood.
"Whoosh"
Without paying attention to the three people who flew out upside down, Gu Chi's eyes looked at the sword flower flying in front of him, and a look of interest appeared in his pupils.
"That's all you can see. ”
Standing with his hands in his hands, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes flashed with a playful look of cat and mouse. The next moment, I saw the 'Gu Chi' sleeve robe wave lightly, and a black light shot out again, colliding head-on with the fierce sword flower that shot in.
After the explosion, Ximeng's Qianying also retreated, although it was not a fiasco like the three of them, but its body was also a little embarrassed. Then, Ximeng raised his head slightly, and looked at 'Gu Chi' not far in front of him with fluctuating beautiful eyes, his pupils were filled with unprecedented solemnity.
According to her estimates, the strength of 'Gu Chi' at this time should have broken through the limitations of the Upper Star Realm, but because of the concealment of demonic energy, it is difficult to define the power he has now. However, it is certain that none of the people present in the main hall will be his general. When the strength reaches such a situation, it is no longer possible to win with a large amount, and it is not difficult to defeat a hundred enemies.
"If I'm not mistaken, what is sealed in your body should be some old guy's lifelong cultivation. ”
For 'Gu Chi' at this time, he had already become the absolute ruler here, so he was not in a hurry to devour the few remaining streams of essence blood, but looked at Ximeng, who was not far away, with great interest.
Xi Meng didn't refute 'Gu Chi''s words, but what she didn't expect was that the person in front of her could directly tell the essence of the seal in her body, it seems that the person who occupies Gu Chi's body should be a top powerhouse during his lifetime, and this eyesight alone is not comparable to ordinary people.
"I'll give you time to break the seal, and then come back and fight me, or you won't have a chance. ”
Perhaps it was the seal of 10,000 years that made 'Gu Chi' lonely in his heart, and he was happy to see the hunt, so he would give Ximeng a chance now. The dying throes of the prey were the most wonderful, and the sight of the prey being cut off with his own eyes, and watching her step by step into despair, was the scene that he could enjoy the most.
"Buzz"
For 'Gu Chi's actions, Ximeng did not refuse. As 'Gu Chi' said, it is difficult to pose a threat to her with her own strength, and she will only be regarded as a fool if she does not use her own advantages. What's more, the current situation has endangered life and death, and only by breaking the seal can there be a glimmer of life.
"Huh?"
Just as Ximeng was tearing at the seal in his body, Jiang Xiaoqi, who was blown away by 'Gu Chi' not far away, noticed something strange, and did not get up, but crawled in the main hall, staring at the sunken ravines on the ground, and a wave of doubts rose in his heart. He found that these deep traps were soaked in red blood at this moment, and the pungent smell of blood was permeated.
I thought it was just a coincidence, but as he slowly groped, he found that almost every corner of the hall was covered with such concave ravines, and dense interactions were scattered. Looking at the sunken lines, Jiang Xiaoqi suddenly found that these blood-stained grooves were all connected to the same place, which was the huge stone statue in the center of the main hall.
However, what Jiang Xiaoqi didn't realize was that not far from him, a dark iron token began to become hot after being stained with the blood of the groove, and the dark rust gradually fell off, revealing the true face of the red in it.
