Chapter 8: A Corner of Turmoil in the Cultivation World
In the presence of the god statue, the pressure on herself immediately became much less, and the pride and confidence returned to her face.
At this time, the Ten Days Refining Sky Tribulation had already turned the entire sky into a sea of fire, so much so that when viewed from below, a huge void had broken through the sky, and endless heavenly fire poured out of it.
Before long, a thunderclap suddenly fell in the fiery red sky, and the thunder light showed a bright purple-red color, which was deeper and thicker than the color of the sky, as if the sky had drawn a zigzag opening.
The purple-red thunder and lightning were extremely fast, and the moment they were emitted, they had already fallen on the female statue. Seeing this, the woman was not afraid, only snorted softly, and clenched her right hand and swung her fist up. With a loud bang, her idol had collided with the thunderbolt.
Just this one punch completely wiped out the originally powerful and powerful thunderstorm. Then the woman looked down at the hand she had punched and frowned, obviously not satisfied with the result.
Although it was a blow to dissipate the thunder, the woman's entire fist was also scattered by the lightning, and now there is only one arm left, even the only remaining arm has been scorched black, and the power of the thunder can be seen.
The woman snorted lightly, and then the mana turned, and the hand that had turned into black charcoal returned to its original state, and the missing part on the statue was immediately replenished. It can be seen that this level of damage is not much to her, but her eyes have never been more solemn.
"Boom... Prosperous... Long ......"
It had been a moment since the confrontation between the thunderbolt and the woman, and only then did the sound of rolling thunder come from above the sky. The woman looked up at the sky, and in the cold thunder there was a will of supreme majesty that wanted to bring her to her knees and make her retreat.
The woman squinted her eyes as she recalled the hardships she had traveled all the way, and a strong and unprovoked wave of anger welled up in her heart.
"Why should I be someone else's substitute, why should I be manipulated, why am I a pawn......? No...... From today on, I am the chess player! I am!" she roared and raised her head, looking at the fiery red clouds in the sky with cold eyes, her eyes were full of unyielding will, even if she was facing the sky, the supreme existence in this world!
It seemed to feel the woman's confrontation with it, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky again, but before it could reach it, the woman smashed it with a punch, and then the mana turned around and the damage suffered was recovered in an instant.
The sky was merciless, the thunder continued to fall, and the woman continued to swing her fists. The speed and frequency of the thunder falling are getting faster and faster, and the speed of the woman's fist is also getting faster and faster.
However, in a short time, the area where the woman was located was full of thunder, which covered the entire sea area as densely as rain. In order to deal with the faster and faster thunder, the woman's speed has reached a staggering level, and her body can no longer be seen in the entire space, only an afterimage remains, which is constantly scattered and reunited by the thunder.
I don't know how long it took, but the thunder that had been falling one after another suddenly stopped, and the heavens seemed to have given up and regained calm. As soon as the thunder stopped, the woman quickly froze in shape, she stood in place, her lips slightly open, panting heavily. The idol attached to the body has long since lost its luster and become dilapidated. Fortunately, under the operation of mana, she was able to recover from her injuries quickly, but the woman did not dare to be careless at all, after all, the heavenly calamity clouds had not yet receded, and maybe there was something stronger in the pipeline.
The woman recovered a little, then looked up at the sky that looked unwavering, and suddenly raised her fighting spirit, with a crazy smile on her face, and shouted to the sky: "Old lady, I have experienced countless ups and downs in my life, and I will never be at the mercy of others, why wait for you to brew a calamity to target me, you call it ten days of refining the air tribulation, right? Ten days? Okay! In ancient times, Hou Yi shot the sun, then today I will follow his example, destroy your ten days, and scatter your calamity clouds!"
After saying that, she used her mana again, and the idol outside her body was blessed with mana, and immediately soared wildly, and in an instant, she turned into a giant with a height of 100 feet. After that, I saw her step down, and the huge statue of the god soared into the sky, and then it was like throwing a stone into the sea, and it was completely submerged into the fiery red clouds, leaving only the fiery red sky calm.
After a long time, there were faint bursts of fairy music in the sky, accompanied by the sound of a hundred birds and a phoenix echoing in the surrounding space. Suddenly, dense cracks began to appear in the fiery red sky, and then the brilliance converged, revealing the ten suns from before. It's just that at this time, dense cracks have also appeared on these ten suns, and the light is dim, and the momentum is not as strong as the previous eleven. There was a loud bang, and all the visions in the sky disappeared.
The woman who showed her figure again between heaven and earth, the idol had been taken back, although her clothes were torn, and even her hair was scorched, and she was indescribably embarrassed, but the woman's face clearly had a certain smile that was almost crazy. I saw that with a wave of her hand, everything on her body, whether it was clothes, hair, skin, or wounds, recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in a moment it returned to its original state, and then her feet moved, and once again escaped through the void, flying towards the New World Building.
The woman returned to her office through the hole in the window, took out a wine glass from the wine cabinet again, poured a light red wine into it, and then gently shook her hand to the previous position, and continued to quietly watch out the window return to the calm night, as if nothing had happened just now.
But the wide floor-to-ceiling window had clearly broken a big hole, and gusts of strong wind poured into the room through the breach, causing her long flowing hair to dance wildly in the air. She had regained her indifferent expression and could no longer see the slightest wave.
After thinking quietly for a moment, she lifted the glass, took a sip of the wine, put it down again, and then waved her other hand, as if she had touched a button in the room out of thin air.
After a while, there was a brief knock on the door. With her permission, the door was gently opened, and a girl in her early twenties came in from outside, who saluted her respectfully and called softly, "Chairman." He stood still, seemingly oblivious to the hole in the window.
The woman who was called the chairman heard someone coming in behind her, and she didn't look back, and said, "Help me find someone, and then kill him, and I'll send you the information!" After speaking, she waved her hand and signaled that the girl who came in could leave.
At the suggestion, the young girl answered "yes" and slowly retreated out the door. At this time, the chairman frowned, thought of something, seemed to hesitate, she raised her glass, took a small sip of red wine, and suddenly stopped her when the girl was about to go out, and said, "Wait first!" The little girl immediately stopped and waited for the chairman's order, stood cautiously, and did not dare to make a sound.
However, when the beautiful woman standing at the window asked her to stop, there was no more sound, and after a long while, she said, "Forget it, you can go." Then he raised the glass in his hand again, tilted his head, and poured the rest of the wine into his mouth.
In an ancient city in the north, there is a remote but repaired extraordinarily luxurious villa, and at this moment, the courtyard outside the villa is full of a group of black-clad security guards, these people are looking intently at the gate of the villa, and there is a deep worry between their eyebrows. Just now, a man wrapped in a black robe entered the villa. It was not long before a blue light came out of the window, and in this turquoise light, they saw two figures standing opposite each other, swords rattling, and if they had not been ordered beforehand, they would have rushed in.
In that villa, in the center of which was a bronze coffin, the strong blue light that could be seen from the outside was emitted. Its light is so full that the entire huge space of the villa is illuminated in green, which shows that this bronze coffin is not an ordinary treasure.
Next to the bronze coffin, a man about 30 years old in a gray suit with slightly curly hair stood quietly aside, looking at a black-robed man opposite him with solemn eyes.
At this time, the black-robed man had already removed the hat that covered his head, revealing the terrifying face inside. The reason why he looked terrifying was because, for some unknown reason, half of his face had completely withered, leaving only a thin layer of ground that covered the small bones inside, and the eye sockets were even more empty, and only a faint light could be seen flickering in between. There was not a single hair left on top of the withered half of his head, and if it weren't for the other half of his head looking normal, no one would believe that he was actually a human being.
Although the appearance is strange, the powerful momentum of the black-robed man cannot be faked at all, which is the fundamental reason why the man opposite is so dignified.
It's just that generally speaking, a cultivator with high cultivation can change his appearance at any time if he wants to, but he doesn't know why this black-robed person keeps himself in such an abnormal appearance.
The two confronted each other for a long time, but the black-robed man was the first to speak, and he said: "Second brother of the Xie family, the bronze coffin has been handed over to you for more than half a year, and the seal has not been unlocked yet, so I have to doubt your ability to solve the family." I think I'd better take it with me, and find another way to be smart!" Perhaps because he only had half of his head left, his voice was not very clear, and there was something strange about it.
"Mao Zhiyu, you're afraid you're joking, this bronze coffin was brought out from Yinxu by my Xie Mingjian and the Xie family with dozens of lives, although you have also made a lot of efforts, but if you want to take it away like this, it is absolutely impossible, I don't allow it, and I can't allow it." Xie Mingjian's words were a little angry, and his tone was tough, but there was a deep fear in his eyes. But in his position, even if he is too much worse than Mao Zhiyu and has no chance of winning, he can't easily back down in front of the other party.
In fact, the bronze coffin was won by the two of them, and logically speaking, he had a share in interpreting Mingjian, and he had already said that the things in the coffin belonged to him, and the coffin belonged to Mao Zhiyu. In the first battle of Yinxu, the talents that the Xie family had cultivated a lot of losses in his hands, and if he didn't get anything in the end, he couldn't explain it to his family at all, so despite the disparity in strength with the other party, he could only bite the bullet.
"But the second child of the Xie family, you have spent so much time on this, but there is no progress, and this bronze coffin is extremely important to me, how do I know how much time you will waste me. In this way, for the sake of many years of friendship, you give me the bronze coffin, and I will find someone to crack it, and after the matter is completed, we will follow the original agreement, the contents will belong to you, and the bronze coffin will belong to me, how about it?" Mao Zhiyu said, and there was no expression on the only half of his face.
But Xie Mingjian's face changed when he heard his words, the two actually didn't have much friendship, not to mention, Mao Zhiyu's origin was very dangerous, if it wasn't for his strength to take this bronze coffin, plus he was a little coerced, with his ability and pride, and the support of the Xie family behind him, how could he partner with the other party to do this.
Thinking that although the other party's strength is stronger than his own, it is not enough to guarantee a one-hit kill, once he escapes, Mao Zhiyu's whereabouts are leaked, it is definitely a trouble for him, and more importantly, in today's world, if you want to say that the most likely to break the seal above, except for yourself, unless you can find the heir of the burial lineage, but this vein has disappeared for a long time, how can you easily find it.
So Xie Mingjian said: "We have already had an agreement, and you can see that the seal on the coffin has a great relationship with the "burial", and my Xie family has a close relationship with the funeral. Since you are so anxious, I will give you the bottom, I already have an eyebrow for this seal, judging from all indications, it uses the top nine-party fixing nail technique of the burial vein, for this kind of nailing method, there have been records at home, I believe I will be able to solve it soon. ”
"How long will you say it? I can't guarantee how long I'll be able to play with you. Mao Zhiyu was not moved by the news revealed by the other party, who knows how much of this is true, and in the current state, it is more likely that Xie Mingjian will delay time. So while speaking, Mao Zhiyu's momentum increased crazily, as if he was about to go crazy at any time.
