Chapter 156
The lord in black was observing in the black bone prison filled with phantom butterfly eyes. The butterfly eyes were distributed throughout the bone prison, and the pupils of all of them were aimed at him without exception.
He collided head-on with one of the eyes in mid-air, and then appeared in a dirty and messy alley.
He was distracted for a moment. He was very familiar with every inch of this place. He looked down at his hands - they were a pair of children's hands.
He was leaning against the earthen wall, huddled in the narrow shadow.
He was still conscious and knew that he had fallen into Jitang's illusion and returned to his childhood.
He was extremely fragile at that time, living in mud that anyone could step on, being beaten for a sip of water, and always curled up in a dirty corner of the alley to fall asleep, not knowing whether he would wake up next time.
This is Xia Ming Kingdom in Chuan Huangzhou, where he was picked up by the disciples of Zhengkun Sect and brought back to the sect. It is also the starting point for him to achieve hegemony and be listed in the immortal class.
There were footsteps at the end of the alley, and soon a shadow enveloped his head.
Several disciples of the Zhengkun sect were looking at him with disgust.
They looked down at him, examining him as if he were some dirty, disgusting piece of trash.
The leader asked him, "How old are you?"
He looked directly at the other person and did not answer.
After a moment, he saw the other person's distorted face.
He also stabbed the sharp blade in his hand deeper!
He is no longer that timid little beggar.
Since these ants appeared, they were destined to die - even in a fantasy world.
*
Inside the blood-red magic circle, Ji Tang noticed the unusual movement of the bone prison and immediately stopped controlling the nightmare beast.
The bone prison began to make crackling sounds, and cracks began to appear in the flesh formed by the remains of the phantom butterfly. The cracks ran from top to bottom, revealing a dark purple light from within.
In a short while, the dim light was completely swallowed up by another dazzling light. The bone prison could not bear it and suddenly exploded, and the remains of the phantom butterfly were blown everywhere.
The seven rotating light beads that were still not far from her suddenly moved.
The sound of breaking wind came in front of Jitang. Jitang immediately resisted, but was still forced back several steps by its powerful attack.
The black-robed lord walked out from the wreckage of the phantom butterfly and controlled the Xuanguang Pearl to continue approaching Jitang.
When the seven Xuanguang beads rotate, the fairy energy becomes more intense.
Jitang knew that this was because the black-robed lord had increased the output of his spiritual energy.
Judging from the ethereal energy emanating from the Xuanguang Pearl, the black-robed lord should be using this attack to decide the outcome.
For the Lord in Black, he must take Ji Tang's life before ending the battle.
The nightmare energy and the fairy energy seem to be competing with each other, but they are essentially different.
Immortal Qi contained the power of laws, which was something Nightmare Qi could not reach. Although it could not surpass Nightmare Qi by much, its power was indeed overbearing and fierce.
The black-clothed collar man took the initiative to kill her and wanted to kill her with the Xuanguang Pearl in one fell swoop.
Ji Tang's defensive spell was in a stalemate with the Xuanguang Pearl, when she suddenly saw the black-clothed lord making another move. Without time to think, she subconsciously controlled the nightmare energy to pour out. At this moment, dense silver ice cones crashed towards her.
She groaned, and blood fell from the corner of her mouth.
She controlled the blood-red formation to shrink rapidly. The red beams of light within the formation received the order and quickly rushed towards where the black-clothed lord was. They kept approaching him and were kept being dispersed by him.
Even so, some beams of light still wrapped around the body of the Lord in Black.
The blood-red magic circle was still shrinking, and the energy shield of the magic circle passed through Ji Tang's body, surrounding only the lord in black.
The people outside finally saw the figure of Nightmare Lord, and there were exclamations everywhere, and all eyes were focused on her.
Her current situation was also fully exposed to everyone.
Seven spinning light beads with murderous aura rolled towards Ji Tang's defense. While resisting, she continued to control the blood-red magic circle to shrink.
Some observant people had noticed the bloodstains flowing from the corners of her mouth.
The black-robed lord also devoted his energy to dealing with the shrinking Blood Extreme Formation.
Ji Tang didn't give him time. She changed the hand gestures on her right hand, gathered her five fingers together, and finally clenched them into a fist. "Explode!"
The Blood Extreme Array suddenly exploded.
The blast knocked Liu Wushu and his group over.
They were previously forcibly stopped from forming a formation by Su Jinzhou, and the Blood Soul Burning Ruins Formation collapsed before the skeleton of the formation was even built. Fortunately, everyone was not affected by the backlash except for being slightly affected by the collapsed formation.
They did not choose to fly back to the mountain protection formation, but instead chose to fight the enemy together with Nightmare Lord.
But when they finally saw Ji Tang's figure, before they could take any further action, they were already in a very miserable state in the blast wave of the Blood Extreme Wanlai Formation.
Liu Wushu's spiritual power surged and almost went against the current.
He looked bitter. In a battle that was close to the rules of heaven, they could only be crushed and shocked.
Liu Wushu turned around and looked at Su Jinzhou in the mountain protection formation.
Gu Yan and many disciples were surrounding him to protect him.
After Su Jinzhou stopped the Blood Soul Burning Ruins Formation, he entered the mountain protection formation to heal his wounds.
The nightmare card that Jitang gave him contained the majestic and condensed immortal energy from his ascension, which could replenish and repair his separated and damaged soul.
Liu Wushu knew that Su Jinzhou was anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he had to recover his strength before he could fight alongside Ji Tang.
On the other side, the blast gradually subsided, and the black-robed lord pulled off his torn cloak amidst the burning orange-red flames.
Jitang also saw his face.
This face is too young, looking at most in his early thirties.
His face was gentle and handsome, and at first glance it seemed to have no aggression at all, but his eyes were extremely cold and sinister, and when they fell on Ji Tang, they were extremely sharp and imposing.
The Lord in Black was now filled with annoyance and impatience, as well as a hint of anxiety that he himself was not aware of.
He walked towards Jitang.
The Xuanguang Pearl followed his pace and pressed into Jitang's defensive technique. The round pearl broke through the energy barrier, and half of the pearl was embedded in it.
Ji Tang had to use all his mind to resist the seven Xuanguang beads, but unexpectedly the black-clothed lord still had the energy left to control the Jiuzhou overall formation!
The Jiuzhou General Formation, which was tilted in the sky, fell again.
Ji Tang had no choice but to once again divert his energy to control the Nightmare Beast to extinguish the light of the main formation, while looking at the Lord in black.
They were equally strong, and she shouldn't have been pushed to this point.
Jitang's gaze fell on the black-robed lord, and he said to himself, "As expected."
He did not appear so relaxed. His face was as pale as Ji Tang's, and his fingers, which were clearly jointed, were trembling in his sleeves that were blown by the wind.
"Do you have time to look elsewhere?"
The black-robed lord cut through the void and teleported a short distance in front of Ji Tang.
Ji Tang shuddered violently, and when he raised his eyes, the black-robed lord had already placed his palm on the outside of the Xuanguang Pearl, and in an instant, the Xuanguang Pearl was pushed into the defensive spell by him.
Seeing that the seven Xuanguang beads were about to pierce Jitang's body, she did not retreat but advanced, and became ruthless in the black-clothed lord's wide eyes. She concentrated all her nightmare energy on her arms and then blasted it towards him!
Her arm was stretched straight, and a large area of her sleeve was splattered with blood. The blood quickly soaked through the fabric and spread to a larger area.
The black-robed lord said in disbelief: "You..."
Everyone who had been paying attention to the battle situation gasped.
The Nightmare Lord’s arm directly pierced through the chest of the Lord in Black!
If the Lord in Black had moved even half a second slower, he would have surely died by now.
The Nightmare Lord was also pierced by five Xuanguang beads, and only dodged two of them.
Liu Wushu was filled with worry and fear.
After so many years, Ji Tang's ruthlessness of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred has not changed.
He had no doubt that if the situation became more critical, she would be able to injure 800 enemies and lose 1,000 of her own lives.
Jitang opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The five Xuanguang beads penetrated into her Tianchong soul, Linghui soul, Qi soul, Li soul and Zhongshu soul respectively.
I think the seven Xuanguang beads should correspond to the seven souls of the human body, that is, they should be injected into the seven chakras of the human body.
She dodged two of them, so it seemed that the Lord in Black was not yet able to use his soul-stealing technique.
Moreover, her soul is strong and she is protected by nightmare energy in her body, so she can still hold on for now.
However, one of the Xuanguang beads was stuck in her spirit, making her unable to speak and breathing difficult.
Without any hesitation, she pierced through the black-clad lord's chest with her arm and stretched it out from behind him. Then she bent her forearm and made her hand into a claw shape, which landed on the black-clad lord's back.
Her methods could be described as cruel, but her mood remained calm.
How much murder has the Lord in Black committed in order to realize his own power and desires?
This clone of his should also completely disappear from the world of cultivation.
When Jitang has nothing to worry about and truly walks across the Yingxian Bridge to ascend to become an immortal in the future, his original body will definitely have to pay the price!
Ji Tang's five fingers passed through the black lord's coat, through his flesh, and reached into the beating heart.
The black-robed lord's face turned pale, and he activated the five Xuanguang beads like a madman.
Jitang's movements froze.
Her consciousness became blurred and her sea of knowledge became chaotic.
Her throat felt like it was being cut by a knife, and her heart felt like it was being tightly clenched. This kind of severe pain should have been immediately reflected to Ji Tang, but her hazy consciousness did not allow her to feel it immediately.
She couldn't control her hands and feet, and stood there passively. The Nightmare Soul Pill in her dantian was circulating slower and slower, and the nightmare energy was blocked.
The black-robed lord tightly grasped Jitang's arm.
He lowered his eyes to look at his hands—veins were bulging and they were shaking uncontrollably.
How long has it been since he was this embarrassed?
He knew that he was almost at the end of his rope.
A fierce look flashed across his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and pulled Jitang's arm out of his chest.
His breath was intermittent, and the smell of blood kept rising up his throat. He wanted to suppress the blood, but he was caught off guard and choked. He started coughing violently, and blood splattered on Ji Tang.
The black-robed lord grabbed Jitang's arm with increasing force.
His eyes were bloodshot as he bent her arm into an unnatural angle, which was beyond the human body's tolerance.
"Not good!" Liu Wushu flew on his sword, trying to stop the black-clothed lord's actions, but before he got close, he was bounced away by the terrifying energy.
It all happened so fast that no one except Liu Wushu could react in time.
Jitang's arm made several dull "crackling" sounds, and it was obvious that he had reached his limit.
A pleased smile appeared on the face of the black-robed lord.
He wanted to use all his strength in his hands, he wanted to tear Ji Tang into pieces!
Ji Tang's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with light.
She didn't expect that what would wake her up would be the severe pain coming from all over her body.
Just as her arm was about to be broken and torn apart by the Lord in Black, a dragon-headed ice blade appeared between the two of them and quickly cut off the Lord in Black's wrist!
She leaped back suddenly, supported her right shoulder with her left hand, and put her dislocated arm back into place.
Opposite her, the Lord in Black had lost one of his hands, the wound on his wrist was cut very cleanly, and blood was gushing out.
Ji Tang said in a hoarse voice: "You don't understand your enemy at all, old man."
In the world of cultivation, low-level spells are performed with one hand, while high-level spells are performed with two hands. This has always been the way of the cultivators, a concept deeply ingrained in them. Even those ranked among the immortals will not change this long-established habit.
But Jitang is not among them.
She raised her chin slightly and called him by his name, "I can kill you with one hand, Qiu Zuoyou."
Liu Wushu was helped up by the two elders and exhaled with difficulty.
He looked at Ji Tang, who was in a mess but still arrogant and domineering, and his heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down a little.
This kid is really... It's already this time, but he still wants to provoke.
