Within a volcano lies an immortal mechanical palace, left behind by an ancient sage, awaiting its successor.
His mother risked her life to obtain the seal of ...
Chapter 676: More Talent!!
"Die for me!" The face of Lord Wangchuan trembled, and the murderous intent in his heart almost solidified into substance.
Plop!
Water splashed everywhere. At the critical moment, Qing Chi did not hesitate and jumped into the Forgotten River like a moth to a flame.
As soon as Qing Chi touched the river water, colorful smoke burst out from his whole body, like an overturned dyeing factory, or like a shattered glass dream.
Each wisp of colorful smoke rising and changing reflects a vivid and warm scene of the past. However, these brilliant moments of life are ruthlessly washed away and disappeared by the icy river water in the blink of an eye.
Unlike Ning Zhuo, Qing Chi has no precious treasure to protect him and cannot withstand the erosion of the Forgotten River.
"Qing Chi!" Ning Zhuo was shocked when he saw this scene.
"No matter who you are, I will save you!" Qing Chi has completely forgotten Ning Zhuo's identity, but the strong emotions in her heart penetrate deep into her bones, burning like magma, making her risk her life to save him.
She dived with all her strength and swam towards Ning Zhuo.
The Dark Dragon Shears, carrying a thin layer of ice coffin, rushed towards Ning Zhuo, but was blocked by Qing Chi at the critical moment.
The huge impact force caused Qing Chi to open his mouth suddenly and spit out a mouthful of hot blood, which stained the cold river water with a sad and gorgeous scarlet.
The river water poured into Qing Chi's body, and it was as if the floodgates of her memory were opened. A huge amount of colorful smoke gushed out from her body and dissipated wildly.
The ice coffin carried the injured Qing Chi and hit Ning Zhuo.
The two people and the coffin were pushed fiercely by the power of the Nether Dragon Shears, and they were madly traveling deep into the tributary of the Forgetful River.
Wherever he went, colorful smoke and blood were spread all over the place.
"Oh no." Ross's heart sank to the bottom, but he could no longer move. Only his eyes were not covered by clay on his face. He could only watch everything slide into the abyss.
"Qing Chi!" Ning Zhuo shouted in his heart. He stretched out his hand and pressed hard on Qing Chi's back, sharing with her the power of my Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
The Buddha's light enveloped Qing Chi's body and soul, causing her washed-out memories and emotions to suddenly shrink, but she couldn't help it!
"Is it because she opened her mouth earlier, and there's still water from the Forgotten River in her body?" Ning Zhuo was terribly anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He had already exerted all his strength to maintain the Buddha Heart Demon Seal. Now, sharing his strength to save others, he had directly reached the limit of his own ability!
"Haha, a last-ditch struggle." Lord Wangchuan smiled ferociously, his murderous intent clearly visible. "Underworld Dragon Shears, pierce them!"
The Dark Dragon Scissors vibrated violently, and the sharp tips pierced through the last layer of thin ice and directly pierced into Qing Chi's abdomen.
Blood is flowing!
"Ugh...!" Qing Chi whimpered in pain. Her instinct for survival made her subconsciously close her hands, tightly gripping the cold tip of the scissors that penetrated her body!
Blood gushed out, seeping through her fingers and sliding down the scissors.
Qing Chi only felt pain, but her heart was filled with the safety of the people behind her. She just wanted to use all her strength to stop this weapon from hurting the people behind her!
puff.
Under the remote command of Lord Wangchuan, the Dark Dragon Shears once again cruelly advanced forward, piercing deeper into Qingchi's body.
Qing Chi tried her best to resist the forward thrust of the Dark Dragon Shears, but how could her strength compare to this national weapon?
Ning Zhuo clung tightly to Qing Chi's back, clearly feeling that the candle of her life was rapidly going out!
The ghost girl was using her own life to build a fragile line of defense for him. She was willing to act as a human shield and die for him!
"No, Qing Chi! Wait for me!!" Ning Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot, his face horrified with anger. He frantically squeezed every ounce of potential in his Dantian, Sea of Consciousness, and Soul, and urged it once more...
Supernatural power——life hangs on a thread!!
An invisible thread had long connected the two. Following the thread of life, he conveyed the message.
But Qing Chi didn't react at all. She looked confused, her eyes empty.
She had lost so many memories and emotions that she was unable to react. She had even forgotten the desperate situation she was in. She just relied on the strong love in her heart to protect her lover at all costs!
Ning Zhuo almost bit his steel teeth to pieces.
Qing Chi was unable to cooperate actively, so he made up his mind and tried to control her movements by risking her life.
At least he had to change his position, otherwise Ning Zhuo wouldn't even be able to touch the main body of the Nether Dragon Shears.
The Dark Dragon Shears were almost completely breaking through the ice coffin, and 30% of the blades had already penetrated Qing Chi's body.
It pierced deeper and deeper with green flames, as fast as a meteor, and passed through the tributaries of the Forgotten River at a high speed.
The tributaries of the Forgotten River form a circle, allowing the three people, one coffin and one scissors to cycle endlessly.
Ning Zhuo stuck close behind Qing Chi, trying his best to maintain the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, and could only mobilize a very small amount of strength to try to make adjustments.
He was the arrow, at the forefront. The enormous pressure brought by the impact of the water made Ning Zhuo feel like he was being pressed down by a mountain. Any small movement he made was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
He tried several times, but he always lacked strength and found it difficult to mobilize his supernatural powers.
One of Ross's eyes was covered by clay.
Qing Chi's body became colder and colder. She had lost too much blood, and the severe injuries destroyed the balance in her body, causing death to permeate the air and suppress her vitality.
The life of the ghost girl is like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time.
"No, Qingchi, hold on a little longer, wait for me, wait for me!" Ning Zhuo's eyes flushed red, his expression ferocious, but he failed again. For a moment, a huge feeling of powerlessness almost overwhelmed him.
"Xiao Ma, Xiao Ma!" Qing Chi's expression was numb, and her lips moved, uttering a faint, mosquito-like whisper that made people feel as if it was tearing their hearts apart. With each utterance, more precious fragments of memory were peeled from the depths of her soul, turning into colorful smoke and dissipating.
Ning Zhuo was behind her and quickly reminded her, "Don't speak, we are in the Wangchuan River!"
Qing Chi seemed not to hear, but seemed to be reminding himself not to forget: "Xiao Ma, Xiao Ma..."
Her calls grew fainter and fainter, as if coming from a distant horizon. Her eyes began to roll back, and her consciousness completely sank into a chaotic darkness.
At the last moment of her life, an indescribable power suddenly burst out from her broken body!
That's her talent.
Blue flame!
Green flames burst out from her body, quickly igniting her entire body.
Her blood was stained with the green flames and burst into flames with a whoosh.
The blue flame can actually exist in the water of the Forgotten River. Not only is it not extinguished, but it burns more and more vigorously!
Ning Zhuo was pressed tightly against her back and was also covered by the green flames. His face and body seemed to melt, his disguise disappeared, and he returned to his true appearance!
Ross, who only had one eye left, saw this scene and his pupils suddenly shrank. The huge mystery that had been lingering in his mind was suddenly solved.
He finally understood the misunderstanding and realized that his lord was just pretending to be someone else. This was exactly why his previous fishing skills didn't work!
The person Qing Chi risked her life to save was not the "Xiao Ma" she had been thinking about all the time!
From the very beginning, this was a doomed effort, a miscalculation, and a tragedy.
It was as if Yun Xiao wanted to win back Yue Yi, but all that was left was the Forgetful Ferry and the empty boat.
"General Qing..." Even Luo Si couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh in his heart at this moment.
call!
The blazing green flames flickered throughout the entire tributary of the Forgotten River.
The Dark Dragon Shears carried Qing Chi at top speed, circling countless times. The tributaries of the Forgotten River were already stained with Qing Chi's blood.
Her blood is burning!
This is the final cry of her life!
"Xiao Ma, Xiao Ma, Xiao..." Her voice quickly weakened until she stopped calling.
She has forgotten the name that was engraved in her heart.
But the love in her heart is still surging, driving her to protect the person behind her at all costs!
As if in response, green flames flowed on the Dark Dragon Scissors, leaving colorful traces of blood.
The Lord of Wangchuan was shocked!
"What kind of fire is this?"
The water of the Forgetful River cannot extinguish it, it burns wantonly in the water.
What made him even more confused and terrified was that the connection between him and the Dark Dragon Shears was rapidly shrinking - the Dark Dragon Shears were being forcibly blood-refined by Qing Chi!
Green flames rose, burning the lives hanging by a thread.
Pop.
It was as if there was a slight sound, and the life of the supernatural man was burned off.
puff!
"My magical power was broken?!" Ning Zhu's heart was shocked. He suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Oops!!!"
It was the first time he had endured the backlash of a failed magical power, and the force was so fierce that Ning Zhuo was caught off guard, his body and soul severely damaged, his three seas shaken, and he was severely injured. Instantly swallowed by darkness, he fainted.
Without him to maintain my Buddha Heart Demon Seal, the seal would be like water without a source, and the Buddha's light would quickly dim.
Once the Buddha's light shield collapses, Ning Zhuo, who is in the river, will be washed away and will inevitably lose all his memories and feelings.
Don't forget, he fell into the water in his physical body.
When the time comes, he will definitely die!
However, even after fainting, one of his hands was still tightly grasping the skull of the Heavenly Ghost.
Under the burning of the green flame, the skull melted miraculously.
The Sky Demon's skull gradually melted into a pool of dark blue liquid, as deep as the night sky.
This liquid was absorbed by Ning Zhuo's palm, penetrated into his body, passed through his tendons and bones, and finally drilled into his sea of consciousness.
Talent—my self!
A deep blue light burst out from Ning Zhuo's body.
The blue flame was still burning, but it couldn't stop the blue light rising into the sky.
At the same time, the Dark Dragon Shears, covered in blood-refined patterns, completely changed their affiliation, no longer having any connection to the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion. The Dark Dragon Shears transformed into a stream of light and actively joined Qing Chi's body.
puff--!!!
At this moment, Lord Wangchuan suddenly raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood splattered five feet!
His hair broke off piece by piece, his breath became extremely weak, as if his spine had been pulled out, he fell straight back and fainted on the spot.
Ross's vision was gradually covered by loess.
In the last faint light, he vaguely saw a young man in white, holding a ghost girl in his arms, walking out of the tributary. Behind the young man was the nearly dried-up tributary of the Forgotten River, constantly burned by green flames.
…
Ross felt as if he too had sunk into the River Lethe.
"Wake up, wake up quickly!" His strong consciousness kept urging himself, and he felt like the sand at the bottom of the river, struggling to float up little by little with difficulty.
"Huh...huh..." He was finally able to make a weak gasping sound and opened his eyes with difficulty.
My eyelids felt heavy as if welded shut, and my narrow field of vision was blurry and gloomy.
Ta-ta... Ta-ta...
The clear, powerful, and coldly rhythmic sound of horseshoes hitting the ground reached my ears, along with the creaking of wheels.
"Roth is awake!"
"Master Ning Zhuo, Luo Si is awake!!"
Ross immediately heard someone shouting this.
Soon, a white figure appeared in his field of vision, and then his upper body was lifted up.
The white figure cast a spell on Roth, clearing his vision and accelerating his recovery. A warm current flowed through his body, transforming into strength.
He first slowly turned his head, shifted his pupils, and observed his surroundings.
He was now lying on a crude, mechanical cart, its two huge wooden wheels turning madly. In front of the cart, two blood-black paper horses were pulling it at full speed.
On his abdomen, there was an octagonal palace lantern, which was the Qianmo Lantern.
It was by relying on it to regulate and organize the earth's energy that Ross was gradually freed from the seal of the heavy clay.
Ning Zhuo smiled: "I'm glad you're awake. You can circulate your magic power on your own to speed up your recovery. I'll lend you this lamp for now. It will be very useful in helping you eliminate the earth energy in your body."
"Young Master." Luo Si uttered with difficulty. His throat was very dry. After uttering only two words vaguely, he was unable to say the rest.
Ning Zhuo nodded: "I know what you want to ask."
He used his telepathy to tell Luo Si what happened after he fainted.
The green flame was able to melt the skull of the Heavenly Ghost, allowing Ning Zhuo to absorb this acquired talent.
My natural talent allows Ning Zhuo to always remember me, which can counteract the effect of the water in the Forgetful River.
Ning Zhuo no longer fully supports my Buddha Heart Demon Seal, and remains safe and sound even when it is washed away by the tributaries of the Forgetful River.
He then had the power to escape from the River Lethe.
Qing Chi also accidentally refined the Dark Dragon Shears and fainted.
Ning Zhuo took Qing Chi and left the Wangchuan tributary to rescue Luo Si.
He was unable to help Ross escape for the time being, but he tried his best to protect Ross's life.
Then, Ning Zhuo hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield. Fearing that Lord Wangchuan would personally lead his army to arrive, he took Luo Si away from the altar battlefield.
After going down to the surface, he summoned the Qingjiao Army in his true identity, told them his true identity and the general situation of the battle, and concealed the fact that he had absorbed talents.
When the Qingjiao army learned that they had won and destroyed the century-long plan of the Lord of Wangchuan, their morale was greatly boosted and they cheered.
Jiao Ma's biological father felt endless regret. He had long guessed that his son was someone else in disguise.
Ning Zhuo's confession shocked the Jiao family, while Qing Chi's coma also worried the Qing family.
Jiao Ma's biological father took the initiative to stand up and immediately expressed his support for Ning Zhuo. His choice was quickly supported by the entire Qingjiao Army.
Ning Zhuo led the Qingjiao army all the way to the agreed meeting place.
When he arrived here, Ning Zhuo did not see the Buddhist doctors Meng Yaoyin and Sun Lingtong, but Luo Si was able to walk.
Here, he found a letter sent by Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin, which told Ning Zhuo that if she did not arrive for a long time, he should lead his army to the Water Burial Valley.
When Luo Si saw the letter, he immediately felt something was wrong.
The old man with gray bones had done him a great favor, and he always wanted to repay him.
Ning Zhuo and Luo Si took the still unconscious Qing Chi and rushed to the Water Burial Valley without stopping.
