The Holy Imperial City is still the same Holy Imperial City, but the situation is very different from the last time.

Wu Xie looked around, his brows furrowed.

It was clear from the situation in front of him that something must be wrong in this Holy Imperial City—he couldn't be sure what was going on, but the sense of time confusion was clear.

The last time I came to the Holy Emperor City, according to the time, it was obviously supposed to be the time to mend the sky, but the buildings in the city were damaged and weathered as if countless years had passed; When I came to the Holy Emperor City this time, it is likely that I have returned to the modern era, but everything in the city seems to be the situation during the battle to mend the heavens......

If you want to say that there is nothing strange in this, even a fool will not believe it

At this moment, Jasmine suddenly said with some worry: "Master, you try to get a corpse over, one is good to remember, one is good"

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she wanted to emphasize this point in particular, but he still nodded, and Zhenyuan turned into an invisible hand, grabbed the nearest corpse out of thin air, and flew towards this side.

But before the corpse could get closer, Jasmine yelled, "Stop, stop, don't get so close"

"Jasmine, what the hell are you doing?" Wu Xie Yiyan parked the corpse not far away and asked in confusion.

Jasmine's face was heavy, and her expression was a little uneasy: "Master, you take a closer look at that corpse, open its eyelids, and look at its eyeballs." ”

“…… What's so nice about the corpse's eyeballs? ”

"It's okay to take a look," Jasmine was a little coquettish, but reminded her, "Be careful"

Wu Xie sighed, cast a spell to capture the corpse, and the invisible hand that Zhenyuan turned into opened one of its eyes

But the moment he opened his eyes, a powerful aura suddenly rose from this corpse, and for a moment, Wu Xie felt that there was not a corpse in front of him, but a Ning Yuan peak that was infinitely close to the realm of Huandan

The corpse's hands were raised violently, and ten fingers shot out like sharp arrows, straight to Wu Jie's face

Wu Xie had already prepared, and the real fire overlapped and turned into more than ten shields to stop this sneak attack, while his gaze still stayed on the corpse's face, looking into its eyes.

There were no eyeballs in the open eyelids, only a strange redness.

"Sure enough, it's an illusion," Jasmine exclaimed, "Hurry up and get to the tower that can resist the Heavenly Demons."

Wu Xie immediately grabbed it and was startled, and he didn't know how to make good clay, so he ran away.

Over the years, there have been few things that have made Jasmine nervous. In this situation, the strange corpse called the "phantom demon" ...... It was able to make Jasmine so nervous, and that was worth it

As soon as he pulled his legs and ran, all the corpses around him rolled over and stood up, making a creaking sound one by one, and opened their eyes one after another.

A pair of demon-red bloody eyes, revealing a terrifying and unsettling aura. And the aura rising from these corpses was comparable to the peak powerhouse of Ning Yuan

Wu Jie's scalp suddenly tingled...... There were at least hundreds of corpses in the range that his divine thoughts swept alone, and I don't know how many corpses there were in the entire Holy Emperor City...... If every corpse was this so-called "phantom demon", wouldn't there be thousands of Ning Yuan peaks

Oh my God

As soon as he thought of this amount, even if he was as resolute and brave as him, he also had the idea of hiding in the Heavenly Book World Realm with clay and resolutely not coming out of Jindan.

"Master, don't worry, since these guys have been silent, it means that there are things nearby that can restrain them, if it weren't for that, they would have driven these corpses away and were at ease

"What the hell is this illusion?" Wu Xie asked as he ran.

"If you lock up countless extraterritorial heavenly demons together and fight and devour each other, there will only be three results after reaching the end: first, all the extraterritorial heavenly demons will be devoured until there is only one left, and that one will become the demon; Second, the more rule-abiding and cooperative extraterritorial heavenly demons will win, and they will turn into trolls with steel and iron bones; The third, the more chaotic and crazy extraterritorial heavenly demons win, they will turn into invisible illusions. ”

"Adversaries and trolls aside, phantoms are a very special kind of celestial demons. They have no entity and must be attached to a corpse in order to fight, but as long as they find a corpse that they can cling to, they will immediately be able to exert the strength of the corpse to the extreme—in the case of your Kyushu Realm, their strength is equivalent to the peak of Ning Yuan

"It's okay...... It's not a real person......"

"But master, the peak of your Ning Yuan in the Kyushu Realm, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, is actually no worse than Huandan Zhenren in a short period of time, right? Huan Dan is only the progress of the realm, and the improvement of strength is not so obvious.

“…… Jasmine, if there's any bad news, please tell us as well. Wu Xie was silent for a moment and sighed, "Let's talk about it now, I'm mentally prepared." ”

Jasmine was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "I can't see it for the time being...... But it stands to reason that no matter what, it can't be worse than so many demons......"

Wu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly, as Jasmine said, no matter what, could it be worse than thousands of Ning Yuan peaks?

Tens of thousands of Ning Yuan peaks attacked together, not to mention him, even if the righteous path of the world joined forces, he might not be able to resist it

According to the statistics of some people in the Kyushu realm, among the contemporary monks, the various factions of the righteous and evil Dao and the demons combined, there are less than 100 people who have reached the peak level of Ning Yuan, and these less than 100 people have really reached the end of the world's law, and those who may comprehend the limit of their hearts at any time and achieve the return of Dan are the reserve team of Huandan Zhenren.

And even if all the Condensation Element levels were added, this number would not exceed three hundred.

There are less than three hundred Ning Yuan monks, plus the total number of Huandan monks from each faction is also no more than a hundred. The highest-end force in the entire Kyushu realm is these more than 300 and less than 400 top masters.

But at this moment, in the Holy Emperor City, I am afraid that there are thousands of Ning Yuan peaks

Thousands of Ning Yuan pinnacles......

Wu Xie hesitated, but still told the clay the bad news.

"No problem, I'll see it." Tao Tu smiled casually, "It's just thousands of Ning Yuan peaks, but they will be blown into slag when they fight, it's nothing, it's really nothing." ”

But he immediately began to scold, from the ancestors of those extraterritorial heavenly demons to the descendants, and he didn't stop scolding for half a quarter of an hour.

In this half an hour, Wu Xie took him all the way to the battle, killing more than a dozen external demons who blocked the way before and after, and he was also injured in several places.

The strength of these external demons is actually not very strong, but they are not afraid of death when fighting, and the way they fight is very weird, even masters like Wu Xie suffered a lot of losses when they were caught off guard.

Any part of these guys' bodies can be turned into weapons, fired, exploded, or even turned into small formations. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wu Xie really couldn't have imagined that there was such a skill in the world

Probably...... Only these guys who use other people's corpses as weapons can do such things

Fortunately, they didn't get lost, fought hard all the way to break through, and finally came to the square where they had been fighting not long ago.

But unfortunately, the square was littered with corpses, densely packed with blood.

"This ...... These are all external demons? The clay made his scalp tingle, and even his voice stuttered a little.

Wu Xie was silent, and looked up, the tower Taimiao in the center of the square was still there, and the cyan flame on the top of the tower was still burning slowly, although the flames were much smaller than in memory, but the effect of restraining the extraterritorial heavenly demons was still the same - within a hundred zhang of the Taimiao, there was not a single corpse, and even the corpses in the square were quietly lying motionless, I don't know if the road was restrained by the holy flame.

"Senior Brother Tao, we only have to gamble on luck now." He hesitated, then said, "Perhaps the power of the flame will still be able to envelop this square...... Those corpses are really just corpses......"

"Senior brother, can you speak a little more confidently?" Clay smiled wryly.

Wu Xie also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In fact, they all understand that the matter has come to this point, and there is no choice at all. A large number of foreign demons behind him were constantly chasing after them, and they had no way out except to rush into the Taimiao

The two took a deep breath, and Wu Xie carried the clay, walking like a fly, like an arrow from a string, crossing the entire square and rushing towards the Taimiao

It was too late, but it was too soon, and as they passed, a corpse rolled over and stood up, trying to attack them. But the corpses were all half a beat slower to react, and could only chase after them, not threatening them at all.

That is, in the blink of an eye, the two of them crossed the square at a gallop and rushed into the temple.

Sure enough, just as Wu Xie guessed, only the outermost circle of corpses in the entire square was possessed by external demons, and the rest were all real corpses.

If it weren't for that, they would probably have been encircled in front and back, fighting to the death.

The two paused to catch their breath, then hurried to the top of the tower.

At the top of the tower was a small room, and on the altar in the center of the room, a cyan flame was slowly burning; In front of the altar, there is a small Dharma platform, on which various Dharma utensils are displayed, and I don't know what the Dao is used for.

Wu Xie asked the clay to study these magic weapons, and he walked in front of the holy fire.

Although the flame was still burning, it could no longer feel the slightest vitality in the firelight, full of the atmosphere of twilight, like an old man in his last years, even if he could still survive, after all, he was not far from death

He stared at the holy flame, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the three of them threw themselves into the flames one after another, and remembered the scene when countless masters followed the cyan flames, rushing into the spatial crack one after another, sacrificing their lives to make up for the sky

And...... There were other sights that flashed before his eyes......

Time...... Has it really been a long time?

The firelight suddenly flashed, and Liyan's face appeared inside.

"Senior brother? Brother Tao? What are you doing here? He asked suspiciously, and then he was a little excited, "Is it the Human Righteous Path Alliance that is coming to exterminate the Heavenly Demon here?" ”
