Chapter 44: The Transformation of Dragon City (7)
People can hurt people invisibly just by roaring, and even a master like Xuanyi, who has reached the realm of a grandmaster, has been slightly injured unconsciously, and what these people are doing in front of them is really weird.
The only glimmer of light between heaven and earth disappeared, and I don't know when the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the moon was wrapped in death, and only the sound of its own breathing could be heard all around.
"Great... My Lord! Wang Zhe reluctantly opened his mouth with a hoarse voice and was about to speak, but Xuanyi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.
"Silence! It's going to change again!" Xuan Yi put a palm on Wang Zhe's shoulder, and a soft internal force was sent, and the latter's churning qi and blood were calmed down slightly.
Just as the two of them were pressed to the ground by an invisible coercion, countless white points of light converged from all directions. This familiar scene couldn't help but evoke Xuanyi's memories, he stretched out his palm and lightly touched a white point of light close to his side, clearly feeling the powerful power contained in the point of light, and the point of light still flew firmly towards the altar below after a slight pause in Xuanyi's fingertips.
Xuan Yi confirmed his guess, he could be sure that the light spots in front of him were the soul essence that he had absorbed with the wood core before. It's just that the amount of these essences is even larger, and the power contained in them seems to be even stronger, and the moment Xuanyi's fingers touched the point of light just now, he clearly felt a desperate roar from a strange soul.
According to what I learned from Master Qi before, a soul essence represents the pure power of a person's life, with the gradual aging of people, the power contained in the soul essence is also gradually decreasing, until after the death of a person, the power contained in the soul essence is less than one-tenth of the peak period, so the soul essence absorbed by Xuanyi in the cemetery before is slightly grayish-white, and it is not difficult to find that there is a trace of blood in these soul essences in front of him.
Could it be that these soul essences come from living people? Xuan Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind, searching for a few fragments that vaguely flashed in the depths of his memory, Master Qi had only mentioned the method of absorbing soul power from living people, and Xuan Yi, who had always been careless, didn't ask much, and Master Qi didn't mention it again.
Xuanyi secretly exclaimed, it was a pity, if the wood core was brought to this world, it would definitely be able to absorb all the soul essence that these black-armored knights in front of him had painstakingly collected.
"My lord, let's get out quickly!" Wang Zhe on his side said with difficulty, and before he could finish a sentence, he fell to the ground with all his strength, and his whole body was wet with cold sweat.
Seeing that his subordinates could no longer support it, Xuanyi had no choice but to support Wang Zhe and carefully retreat, Wang Zhe's body was extremely stiff, and his hands were as cold as ice, not at all like the body of a living person, which was a sign that his vitality was draining.
"Puff puff!" Two heavy objects fell to the ground sounded on the side of Xuanyi, it turned out that the two guards hidden on the top of the temple fell down, the limbs of the two seemed to be kneaded by external forces, and after a slight convulsion, Qi Jue died in a very miserable state, and two bright white soul essences appeared from the top of the heads of the two, and then floated down uncontrollably.
Seeing the two subordinates die inexplicably like this, Xuanyi's eyes were torn but helpless, not only were there many enemies below, but tens of thousands of soul essences had already gathered on the altar in the center at this time, and the huge soul power gathered together was like a sun to emit a vast coercion.
Xuanyi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly carried the dying Wang Zhe into the broken temple to hide, and several guards in the broken temple were lying on the ground in a terrifying shape, and they had already been dead for a long time.
"Let's go! Leave me alone!" Wang Zhe struggled to break the hand of Xuan's clothes on his waist and abdomen, his pale face was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, his lips opened slightly, and his tone was full of deep despair: "My lord, I am unwilling!"
Xuanyi didn't speak, just held his hands that were getting colder tightly, there was a warmth in his eyes, and two lines of hot tears couldn't help but slip quietly.
The points of light on the altar outside became denser and denser, and almost all the soul essences within a radius of a hundred miles were attracted to gather here. The black-armored knight looked at the soul essence gathered together with satisfaction, almost into a solid ball, and couldn't help but lick his dry lips, his face full of happy smiles.
"That's all for today's hunting, if you absorb it any longer, it will be troublesome to draw out those old immortal Taoist priests!" he said to himself: "So many essence nutrients are about to catch up with half of the harvest of Rixuan City." ”
I saw the man take out an object from his arms and walk towards the altar alone, after the man climbed the high platform, he raised his right hand high and pierced it towards the soul essence gathered together with all his strength, and the discerning man saw that he was holding a strange awl more than a foot long in his hand.
The awl easily pierced the ball, and the latter quickly melted away like ice touched by flames, and the four fields bloomed with dazzling light, and all the black-armored knights were bathed in this warm white light for the first time.
"Hahaha! Burn quickly! That's what it feels like! Give me strength quickly!" the leader of the black knight breathed heavily, roaring like a madman, and then the sense of coercion in his body became thicker and thicker, and his strength was slowly increasing.
The light curtain that covered the sky overlordly enveloped the entire area, naturally also shrouded Xuanyi, Xuanyi's heart was about to resist but found that he couldn't lift his strength, just when he was extremely worried, the white light penetrated into the muscles and blood through his skin, and the unexpected pain and rejection did not appear. On the contrary, every cell around the body was cheering, and after a moment, the faint starlight that had been hidden under the surface of Xuanyi's body appeared again.
Unlike the white light produced by the burning of the soul essence, this layer of starlight on the surface of the body obviously gave people a more mysterious and profound feeling. The starlight is like a magnet that constantly pulls and absorbs the surrounding white light, as the starlight becomes stronger and stronger, the attraction is also increasing, and if you look closely, the white light around Xuanyi is almost absorbed by him alone, and even a whole area actually has a broken belt.
"Rats with hidden heads and tails, dare to steal my essence nutrients!" An angry roar came from the altar that was issued, and it was obvious that the anomaly of the white light had alarmed others, and only living people or living creatures could absorb this pure white light.
The leader of the black-armored knights swept around, and his gaze quickly locked onto the Xuanyi, where the dense white light gathered pointed out its direction well.
"Bastard, I want you dead!" As soon as the angry words of the leader of the black armor knights fell, a huge black shadow had already jumped over a distance of hundreds of meters and slammed straight towards the temple where Xuanyi was located.
