Chapter 271: Trapped
However, after the earthquake on the earth, the thunder and lightning circle showed no signs of collapsing.
On the contrary, it was like the inverted circle of the giant bowl of blue light, but it roared like a thunderous beast like an enraged beast.
"Zilala"
Bursts of lightning erupted from the magic circle, turned into several cyan thunder whips, and whipped towards Yuan Ming and the three of them in the depression.
Yuan Ming hurriedly took out the Cold Star Sword and waved it to resist.
Elder Lu Shen pressed his hands on the ground, and when he was together again, three earthen walls rose from the ground to surround his body and block the electric whip.
The white night also sacrificed a golden long sword, which swirled around the body to resist.
After a round of lightning whipping, the electric light was stabilized again.
"Elder Lu Shen, how are you doing, are you okay?" Obscured by the intense electric light, He Wendao shouted loudly outside, and his tone was eager.
"It's just a trap, and you can break it easily." Lu Shen and Yuan Ming glanced at each other and snorted coldly.
"Fellow Daoist of the White Night, can you see the roots of this magic circle?" Yuan Ming leaned closer to Bai Ye and asked.
"I don't know, it seems that it is not easy to break. Did you just say that He Wendao had a problem? Bai Ye shook his head and replied in a low voice.
"His previous performance against the second-level demon beast, and the fact that he was able to withdraw from this trapped array in time, are very abnormal." Yuan Ming said.
Bai Ye's face suddenly became more complicated when he heard this.
Just when the two were communicating in a low voice, Lu Shen had already taken out a vajra with the thickness of his arm, the whole body was dark yellow, and the appearance was shrouded in a layer of yellow halo. I saw that he held the vajra with both hands, and the mana in his palm was pouring in, and the originally dim vajra suddenly became bright, and a powerful earth-attribute mana fluctuation suddenly surged out of it.
"Broken!"
Lu Shen shouted violently, grabbed the vajra with both hands, and smashed it towards the ground.
The vajra slammed to the ground, and an even greater earthy yellow light burst out from it, triggering the force of the mountain collapse and attempting to destroy the magic circle underground.
With Lu Shen as the center, the surrounding ground was under the impact of this force, and suddenly the earth and rocks cracked, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
Yuan Ming and Bai Ye were also affected, and they all raised their magic weapons to resist.
In the billowing smoke and dust, there was not an inch of intact land in the entire circle, and the ground seemed to have been turned over by a coulter.
Outside of the circle, however, it was not affected in the slightest. Before the smoke and dust completely dissipated, the sound of thunder roaring sounded again, and pillars of thunder and lightning light as thick as the mouth of a bowl suddenly shot in from all around, and the blazing electric light even scattered all the smoke and dust and bombarded Yuan Ming and the others.
"Be careful." Yuan Ming hurriedly reminded.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it violently, and a black inkstone immediately flew out, quickly rising and hanging above his head, blocking the falling thunder pillar for him.
After Bai Ye blocked the first thunder pillar, he was hit by the second thunder pillar that was in hot pursuit, and his body was directly shocked and fell out, half of his body was charred black, wisps of smoke came out, and he was obviously injured.
Elder Lu Shen sacrificed a bright round mirror, although it blocked the bombardment of the thunder pillar, but the mirror surface was also seriously damaged, and it was already half useless.
Instead of showing the slightest sign of damage, the thunder and lightning on the attacked array became more and more dense.
"Elder Lu Shen, how are you doing?" He Wendao's anxious voice came from outside. "It's weird, the old man used a high-grade magic weapon to attack with all his strength, but he couldn't destroy it." Elder Lu Shen groaned for a moment and said.
"Xu is Elder Lu's pestle that is not worthy of the name, you might as well join forces to do it, maybe you can break it in one fell swoop." He Wendao outside heard the words and opened his mouth to offer advice to the three of them.
Hearing this, Elder Lu Shen looked at Yuan Ming and Bai Ye, who had fallen to the ground.
Bai Ye slowed down for a long time before standing up from the ground, coughing, and looking at Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming suddenly said: "He Daoyou, you say, what are the conditions?" We can all talk. ”
"No, no, no, you're mistaken. Otherwise, several of you will do it at the same time and attack the circle together, and it may be possible. He Wendao smiled slightly, and then said.
Seeing that He Wendao's conditions were not opened, Yuan Ming already knew in his heart, and shouted loudly to the disciples of the Shengye Sect who were gathered in the distance outside: "Listen to the disciples of the Shengye Sect, He Wendao is a spy, you should immediately disperse and flee from this place, and don't come back."
The disciples in the distance outside the formation were dazed for a while, looking at each other, but no one moved.
Xu Tian said loudly: "If the disciple doesn't leave, the disciple must rescue the teacher." ”
Luo Xing'er also said: "Yes, Senior Brother Xu, we won't go." ”
The other disciples were even more confused and a little overwhelmed when they heard this.
Yuan Ming reprimanded Xu Tian: "Xu Tian, I was specially arranged by your grandmother to protect you, believe me." If you can go back alive and tell your aunt Qu Jiang, Ming'er can't fulfill her filial piety. Leave immediately. ”
Xu Tian's body shook when he heard this, and he immediately understood who this Hagong was trapped in the depression mine array in front of him, and Luo Xing'er looked at Yuan Ming in disbelief.
When Elder Lu Shen heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly woke up. "The disciples of the Shengye Sect obeyed the order and immediately dispersed and fled here, and those who violated it were regarded as traitors." Elder Lu Shen opened his mouth and shouted.
Hearing his order, more than a dozen disciples of the Shengye Sect scattered and fled.
Xu Tianyi gritted his teeth, grabbed Luo Xing'er and took out a talisman and patted it, and the yellow light flashed and disappeared with Luo Xing'er.
Seeing this, He Wendao waved with one hand, and a flying sword shot out of his sleeve robe, attacking the scattered disciples, and immediately several people were injured and fell to the ground, but fortunately, the disciples scattered and fled, and most of them escaped from the valley.
"Stop!" Lu Shen's eyes were cracking.
"He Wendao, accumulate some virtue." Yuan Ming sneered and said.
"It would be nice if you cooperated a little more, it's a pity that so many small fish have slipped through the net." He Wendao stopped chasing the fleeing disciples, walked to the edge of the magic circle, and said with a gentle smile on his face.
"You're not alone, are you?" Yuan Ming asked. "It's useless to delay time, you accept your fate, you will all die here today." He Wendao looked at Yuan Ming and said with a smile.
"The monks who died inexplicably in Xiaohu City recently were all tricked and killed by you in this way?" Yuan Ming asked.
"You think too highly of them, and those people don't deserve me to go through so much trouble, and you should be honored." He Wendao replied.
"He Wendao, why are you like this?" Lu Shen shouted angrily.
"Elder Lu Shen is asking a layman, isn't it, immortal road cultivation kills people and grabs treasures, and virtuous people live in it, isn't this a normal thing? Why all the fuss? When He Wendao heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and asked.
"You ......," Elder Lu Shen was speechless for a moment.
"As for your accomplices, it's time for them to come out, right?" The corners of Yuan Ming's mouth hooked, revealing a sneer, and said.
Before the words fell, in the direction of Taniguchi in the distance, two figures came. One of them was a grim-looking, pale young man in white with a white goshawk perched on his shoulder.
The other person was a tall, bald man, with a body as strong as an iron tower, muscular lines like knives and axes, and a bronze giant sword that was one foot wide and five feet long on his back.
"He Daoyou, hard work. This harvest is good, three foundation building period monks, plus a group of qi refining periods, this time is enough for us to rest for some time. The young man in white laughed loudly.
"It's still up to Brother Sha Hao's subtle illusions." He Wendao said. "Did the flying boat stop?"
"It's still a step too late, as soon as the magic circle here is launched, the flying boat over there will probably receive Lu Shen's message and run away." Sha Hao said.
"If you run, you will run, it will not affect Pu Zhengqing's prestige, and the reward for you will rise." He Wendao said with a smile.
Hearing the names "Sha Hao" and "Pu Zhengqing", Yuan Ming couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Although he had never seen this man, he knew his name, and it was not difficult to determine his identity when he thought of his previous illusions.
At the time of the collapse of the Biluo Cave, the Great Elder Xi Cangqiong's storage ring was not worthy of his identity as the head of a sect at all.
And Sha Hao, who disappeared as a personal disciple of the evening firmament, is naturally the one who is most likely to inherit his inheritance.
In this way, the soul cultivator who recently offered a reward of 100,000 spirit stones in the Xiaohu City Scattered Cultivation Society is his pseudonym, and the previous illusion is also from this person's hand.
"So far, there is no reward for me, and it is a little boring." At this time, the giant man of the iron tower said in a loud voice.
"How can you compare to Brother Sha Hao. The guy named Hagon just now is a little clever and wants to negotiate terms with me, which is very interesting. He Wendao pointed at Yuan Ming through the electric light of the magic circle and said.
"Hagon? Sounds like you're from the south? Hearing this, Sha Hao frowned a little vigilantly.
"Whatever he came from, why did he bother with all this effort? Let's get dead first. The tower giant said.
"Good! So as not to have many dreams at night. Sha Hao also nodded approvingly and said, "Shidian, let's do it." ”
"Okay." The giant man of the iron tower named Shidian answered, took the bronze giant sword from his back, walked a few steps to an inconspicuous stone pile, and inserted the giant sword down the crack in the stone.
After a "snort" grinding sound, half of the bronze giant sword was inserted into the ground, only half of it was exposed, and a purple spirit stone inlaid on the hilt of the sword emitted a burst of light, and a steady stream of spiritual power was poured in.
Yuan Ming's eyes froze, knowing that the array should be over there.
A sharp birdsong pierced the sky.
In the air, a black bird with a length of feet hovered high in the sky. Shaped like a falcon, hooked beak, slender claws, black and shiny feathers all over the body, dotted with some purple patterns, it is the winged bird named "Thunderstorm" by Yuan Ming.
The thunderstorm has just come from a distance, although the flight is as fast as lightning, but it is still a step too late, if you are one step faster, you may be able to solve this thunder trap.
At this moment, the thunderstorm rushed down towards the circle, and the slender claws flashed with purple electric sparks.
"Huh?" Sha Hao was surprised: "Go, catch it alive." ”
The white eagle on Sha Hao's shoulder spread its wings and turned into a white light, quickly greeted it, and in the blink of an eye, it was fighting in the air. Although the thunderstorm flew as fast as lightning, its strength was far from being comparable to that of this second-level peak white eagle, and it disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
After all, the thunderstorm is still in its infancy, although it was fed by Yuan Ming during this period and placed in the place where thunderstorms are frequent to cultivate, but it is only a first-level demon beast strength, and there are three people, White Eagle and Sha Hao, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and a moth to fight a fire.
Yuan Ming was thinking about countermeasures, and looked up in horror, and saw that in the center of the thunder and lightning circle above the heads of the three of them, a cyan thunderball the size of a human head was condensed, and the lightning flashed inside, and the sound of thunderclaps contained an incomparably powerful spiritual pressure.
