Chapter 85: Gathering Souls
There was a trace of purple qi between the scales of the newborn silver python, and the huge body coiled around Ye Xu's body, turning faster and faster, and finally merged into his body in a silent roar. The purple lightning in the air became even more violent, and even the sky began to appear unusual cracks. The stone statues around the temple were struck by a huge amount of electric light, and faint cracks began to appear on their smooth surfaces, and even a trace of black gas drifted through the cracks.
More thunder light began to focus on Ye Xu, pressing his swollen figure back to its original state, and the black totem on his body gradually blurred, beginning to merge with the purple lightning. Ye Xu could barely see the temple in the distance, and after passing through the place of trial, he immediately knew that there was the destination he was going to advance!
With each step you take, you can feel the energy in your body and your self deepening. From the slow and bulky beginning, to the shallower footprints in the stone statues, those lightning in the air could no longer make him feel the pressure, turned his head to look at the old ape, and saw that the smile on his face had disappeared and turned into a thick color of worry, which made Ye Xu, who was just a little excited, immediately calm down and immediately became vigilant.
The black mist that drifted away from the crack of the stone statue was shattered by purple lightning, but it was unwilling to disperse, slowly but firmly converging on each other, gradually forming a huge ball of black mist. The lightning that struck Ye Xu seemed to have sensed something, and immediately separated some of the electric light and merged into a thunder pillar, slashing towards the fog ball without intermittently.
Ye Xu stopped in the thunder sea, looked at the fog ball formed in front of the hall strangely, in addition to the thunder in his ears, there was a faint sound of the stone statue cracking behind him, and turned around curiously to look, the stone statue behind him had disappeared without a trace, replaced by countless black souls, monstrous grievances converged, forming a vague human shape, covering the sky with one hand, confronting the purple electricity in the air, and slowly walking towards the fog ball in front of the hall.
"Damn!" Ye Xu instantly felt the thick resentment and death. Immediately, his figure flashed and he hid aside, but he also took away part of the purple lightning. The vague figure suddenly felt the pressure gradually decrease, and immediately accelerated, rushing into the fog in a few steps.
In Ye Xu's surprised gaze, several huge figures were born, with birds, beasts, and human forms, all of which pounced on the fog ball at the same time. The roar of the old ape came from outside the thunder, and a huge iron rod broke through the thunder sea and smashed it on the fog ball again.
The sound of the explosion reached into the sky, and the echo was even more thunderous. The burst fog balls combined again, forming a stout giant, holding a black steel fork, leaping high in the face of the thunder and smashing into the temple in front of him.
Ye Xu saw that the old ape was covered in black smoke, the little hair left was swept away, there was a pool of blood on his chest, his body was shaky, and the iron rod that had beaten him many times was slightly red, and he was forced by the old ape to lift himself and smash it at the giant again.
"Boom~!" There was another loud bang, and a layer of purple light appeared outside the temple, barely blocking the giant's jumping and smashing, and the old ape's iron rod also smashed on the giant again. The giant, whose body was obviously smaller, turned around, and the steel fork in his hand came out of his hand, stabbing the old ape.
The shocked Ye Xu instinctively jumped up at this moment, and the big axe in his hand swung out, slashing towards the steel fork. The huge explosion sounded again, and Ye Xu was shocked into the air and flew into the air. Seeing the old ape raise a stick to resist, he was blown out by the steel fork and nailed deep into the mountain wall.
"Old ape!" Ye Xu, who was in the air, exclaimed, and saw that another steel fork was born in the giant's hand, so he simply took advantage of the momentum to rush down, and slashed down wildly with purple lightning.
The giant steel fork was erected and collided with Ye Xu. The two blades continued to hand over in the air, giving birth to a series of thunderous loud sounds, Ye Xu was shocked again and again, his body flew higher and higher, the blood in his mouth spurted wildly, his eyes were already red, and he was weak several times, almost fainting, but there was always strength in his belly, so he continued to attack.
The giant in front of the hall was also angered by Ye Xu's fly-like attack, and his body that was one end higher than the temple suddenly jumped up, even higher than Ye Xu, although the lightning in the sky was more dense, but he didn't care about it, and the steel fork in his hand was fiercely thrust into Ye Xu, who had fallen.
When Ye Xu was in the air, he had already seen the steel fork that stabbed the white ape turn into black gas and rush into the wound, making his dark face already appear dead. Seeing the steel fork coming, Ye Xu simply swung the giant axe and smashed it at the steel fork in order to forcibly change the direction, change the direction of his fall, break away from the thunder sea, and fall in the direction of the white ape.
A black spike was born from behind the giant's body, and under the cover of its huge body, when Ye Xu changed direction and then focused on the white ape, it suddenly stabbed out from the roaring thunder, instantly penetrating his body and nailing him to the edge of the thunder sea.
Ye Xu spurted out a mouthful of blood, and with a swing of the giant axe in his hand, he cut off the black thorn in front of him. The two red eyes on the giant's blurred face glanced at Ye Xu, turned around and jumped up, and the steel fork in his hand smashed towards the temple again.
Ye Xu didn't care that the black thorn inserted into his chest quickly atomized and began to invade his body, but crawled to the white ape's side with all his might, put his hand on its wound, and desperately thought about the appearance of the Jade Buddha in his mind.
The white ape nodded his head with his thick fingers, signaling that it was okay, and even grinned again. Pointing to the temple that was being attacked, his gaze softened. Suddenly, he said, "It's my master who lives here, and he said he wanted to take me with him!"
Ye Xu, who was sweating profusely, was stunned when he heard this, and a little white light had just been born in his hand, which immediately dissipated.
"Can you speak?" Ye Xu said in surprise.
"I didn't say I would!" said the white ape's tone was a little playful. "Don't waste your efforts, this giant is the soul left by the main generals of the Demon Second Realm who was sealed and killed by my master back then, and Gu Du is angry. It's just that I didn't expect you to attract so many Heavenly Punishments, and let them take the opportunity to gather souls! It seems that this is also the will of Heaven!"
"You better take a rest, don't care about the providence, let me treat you first!" Ye Xu saw that the old ape's voice was getting lower and lower, and he couldn't help but become impatient.
"No need!" The old ape pulled away Ye Xu's hand and said with a smile: "Since this is the will of heaven, it is my master who summoned me, you don't want to interfere!"
"What are you talking about, you also saved my life!" Ye Xu pulled away the old ape's big hand, which was already weak, and continued to summon the Jade Buddha.
"Boy, I thought you were providential, but I didn't expect it to be wrong!" The white ape no longer blocked, and said quietly: "Actually, you don't have to be grateful to me, I just want to find a tough body for my master!"
"What?" Ye Xu's hand trembled slightly, and he raised it gently.
"Yes, it's the body!" The old ape looked directly at Ye Xu and said: "Back then, my lord said that after he died, there would be a trace of soul stored in the temple, and he would lead the thunder of the void to contain these resentful souls and prevent them from wreaking havoc on the world, after I found the perfect body, I can bring it here, if I can pass the heavenly punishment, when I can meet the conditions, when the master is reborn, I will definitely wipe out the demon genus in the outside world!"
