Chapter 171 The King's Spear Cuts Off His Will

Looking closely at the words on the stone tablet, Zhou Yi felt that he was still unsatisfied.

There seemed to be some words left behind, but they could no longer be distinguished.

The place found by the first evil emperor was the one left by the demon Cang Qu. The "Demon Strategy of Heaven" was completed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it can be traced back to the ancient period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

That was the era of Guangchengzi.

After the Demon Sect master learned the secret of the Temple of War God, he longed for it and kept pursuing it.

Zhou Yi gradually had a clear outline of this past.

However, he was not here for archaeological research, so he had no intention of delving into it further.

He shifted his gaze from the stone tablet and looked around to take in the surroundings.

This underground hall is even wider, with an open area in the center and large lakes all around, which seems to be related to the Jinjiang underground river.

In the distance, a palace-like building has decayed and collapsed. It is not complete, which shows that it was not repaired back then.

The light sources around still come from those glowing crystals.

They are reflected in the surrounding lake, like a river of bright stars that has descended to the earth, and can be touched with just a stretch of the hand.

Looking up, this height is close to the limit of the human body.

The most terrible thing is that the mechanism is closed.

Even if he could jump up and rush out, he could only use his internal strength to forcibly break through the underground hall on the upper level.

But without a fulcrum in the air, it is impossible to exert such powerful force.

This time, with the help of everyone's skills, we entered the deepest level of the Evil Emperor Temple. We wanted to look for clues related to the Temple of the God of War. If we get trapped because of this, it would not be worth it.

I thought of several ways to break the mechanism above, but put them aside for the time being.

There are good and bad people here now, and there is a risk of being plotted against or attacked.

Zhou Yi weighed the pros and cons and first felt for the location of the evil emperor's relics.

He made the same move as the Evil King, Queen Yin, Zhou Laotan and others, and turned his head to look at the dark blue lake.

As the upper bronze mechanism opened, the relics fell down.

It was the dark cave entrance that Yun Shuai had approached before, but he didn't expect to fall directly into the lake.

The strange thing is that this relic is moving!

Many people fell into the lake along with the relics, and they chased after them. It was hard not to suspect that someone had already got the relics.

There may even be an escape route under the lake.

After all, we had just heard the rumbling sound of the underground river turning and hitting the rocks, and undercurrents occasionally rose under the lake, so it was definitely not a stagnant pool of water.

Some people who wanted to go ashore were confused. When they heard the movement under the water, they held their breath and turned around to rush down.

The next moment, the lake surface rippled gently, and suddenly the waves surged and pushed towards the shore.

The waves came one after another, advancing one after another, and amidst the huge crash there was a strange sound of crackling, as if there was some terrible monster in the water.

Zhou Yi retreated backwards, and at this time screams and cries were heard.

The moment the lake water turned red, a huge figure broke through the waves and lifted a warrior out of the lake. The weapon was like the ancient bronze halberd used by Lin Shihong.

Driven by a huge force, the warrior was split into two halves in the air!

The people in the lake were horrified and fled towards the shore. Some people screamed, and then four more people suffered the same fate.

In an instant, blood rained down, and the underground hall was filled with the smell of blood.

"What is that?!"

Everyone screamed and looked at the five huge figures that were over seven feet long. They were cast in bronze and covered with layers of armor that were as fine as fish scales.

The snake's head is held high, with a sharp horn erected. The lines are cold and smooth, revealing an unnatural precision.

The most terrifying thing is the eyes. They are not pupils of flesh and blood, but two huge glass balls that are polished to be round and smooth, as deep as black jade, and seem to be inlaid with some dark red crystals inside.

"Mechanical snake."

"Mechanical snake? That's Gong Shujia's mechanical creation, right?"

"Yes," Shi Qingxuan's eyes reflected the five bronze snakes, "but that doesn't prevent the Mohist mechanical technique from being able to create such sophisticated mechanical devices."

I heard Zhou Yi and Shi Qingxuan talking.

Shi Zhixuan, who was not far away, interjected, "Why is there a mechanical snake here?"

Silence, constant silence

The blue-clothed girl turned a deaf ear to his words. The evil king's expression became increasingly hostile. Zhou Yi didn't want to anger him here, so he responded to save his face:

"Legend has it that the War God Temple is guarded by a demonic dragon. The Evil Emperors may be imitating the War God Temple's layout. Since they couldn't find the demonic dragon, they used Mohist mechanical techniques to create a bronze snake as a substitute."

Although this is his speculation, it is also based on many secrets.

Shi Zhixuan was attracted by his words and immersed in them for a while. He did not empathize with them, but he could vaguely feel the obsession of the evil emperors of all generations.

After hearing this, more people left the lake with fear.

These mechanical snakes are very dangerous, and I don’t know if there are other mechanical creations at the bottom of the lake.

After this lesson, many people in the martial arts world regained their composure and dared not wander around underground.

The lake gradually calmed down and the bronze snake retracted into the water.

One of the mechanical snakes opened its tightly closed snout, and its deep and complex internal structure could be vaguely seen, and the yellow crystal ball was in the snake's mouth.

Everyone was eager to take action, but they didn't dare to do it.

Even if he took the relic from the snake's mouth, he would still be surrounded by people.

Circumventing the lake, most of the people in the martial arts world slowly groped their way towards the dilapidated palace. The old Tuyuhun king, Xi Ying and the people from the Xieji Sect walked the fastest.

Along the way, we didn't encounter any traps.

Like the previous stone tablet, there are also inscriptions in front of the dilapidated palace. Most of them were left by Xie Bo. Unfortunately, they were severely damaged and there was no martial arts techniques on them.

From scattered words, people noticed a clue.

The evil emperors were unable to obtain the Temple of War, so in a frenzy they wanted to build a Temple of War.

What a pity.

Such miraculous creations are beyond human power.

Zhou Yi finally understood why this palace looked incomplete. It was because the project was too huge. Even with the foundation of Tianmo Cang Qu and all the resources of Xieji Sect, it could not be completed.

The only thing directly related to the Temple of War God here is the Evil Emperor's relics.

The old nun Yi Xin, Fan Qinghui, stood in front of a stele.

Even Shi Feixuan, who was standing by, showed a strange look on her face.

It read: "Xie Bo, the dream of the devil, when will you wake up?"

Zhou Yi took a quick glance and saw the last signature engraved with the words "Dini".

Unexpectedly, the founder of Cihang Jingzhai had also been here.

Dini and the first evil emperor were lovers, but later broke up due to differences in their ideologies.

The Queen of Yin also saw this and said calmly, "Fan Qinghui, Cihang Jingzhai is also considered a branch of my Holy Sect. When I unify the Holy Sect, Jingzhai will also trace its roots and return with me."

Fan Qinghui also responded calmly: "Let's wait until the Queen of Yin achieves her wish. I wonder if the Evil King is willing to become a vassal."

Shi Zhixuan smiled evilly: "Of course I support Xiaoyan."

I don’t know how sincere he is, but the attitude expressed in these words cannot be ignored by people in the Buddhist community.

Once the Evil King and the Yin Queen join forces, they will truly unify the Demon Sect.

Then the battle between Buddha and demons will be extremely brutal.

Their words were full of hidden meanings, but Zhou Yi ignored them. He browsed through several broken inscriptions and finally saw another stone carving a little further inside the dilapidated palace.

This stone carving is the newest and clearest.

Zhou Laotan, Emperor Ding and others were staring at the words above with complicated expressions.

"This is the most exquisite jade in the world, there is no other like it - Xiang Yutian."

The fellow disciples of Xieji Sect sadly discovered that they could not understand the inscriptions left by their master.

Seeing Zhou Yi passing by, Jin Huanzhen turned half of his body and asked:

"Master Zhou, do you know what this means?"

Zhou Yi smiled: "Why are you asking me about the secrets of your Xieji Sect?"

After hearing this, several people became angry.

You Niaojuan almost wanted to say something sarcastic, but then he thought better of it.

Emperor Ding said with a stern face, "Everyone knows that your clan has a profound foundation."

Zhou Yi smiled again: "Our sect happens to have records, so it's okay to tell you."

"The so-called Dongji Immortal Jade is the Dongji Immortal Pendant, which is the result of the three pendants of Heaven and Earth being combined into one. Emperor Xiang Xie has a good friend named Yan Fei. This person combined the three pendants into one, opening the door to immortality. Not only can he comprehend the ultimate secrets of the Heavenly Dao and gain supreme power, he can also reach the highest realm of martial arts."

"Mysterious items like these most likely come from the War God Temple. If the Evil Emperor Xiang is searching for the War God Temple like all previous Evil Emperors, it wouldn't be surprising if he were trying to find the Cave Immortal Jade."

Zhou Yi finished speaking and sighed softly, "It's a pity that neither the Cave Immortal Jade nor the War God Temple can be found anywhere. There are always regrets in this world."

Several people from the Xieji Sect also felt disappointed.

A ghostly light flickered in Zhou Lao's eyes. A thought flashed through his mind, and he spoke to Zhou Yi, "Excuse me, where is your master right now?"

"He's gone on a journey."

He has gone traveling, which means he may still be under this starry sky.

Mr. Zhou sighed, not knowing whether Zhou Yi would respond. He still couldn't help but ask:

"Master, you have been teaching you martial arts with great care and attention."

Zhou Yi guessed what he was suspicious of. Seeing how uneasy he was, it would be easy for him to lie to him.

However, he was in a different mood at the moment, and he casually responded with four words: "Just the opposite."

Master Jiao Wuzi cared about him very much, but when it came to martial arts, the greatest help he gave was many Taoist scriptures and a volume of Xuanzhen Guanzang.

Although I once suspected the master's identity, I was never able to confirm it.

Zhou Yi was very frugal with words, so he turned around and left, leaving Zhou Lao's face frozen for a moment.

His brows were furrowed, and several deep marks appeared on his forehead, like grooves carved by a knife, filled with the word "impossible".

But deep down, I felt that Zhou Yi was not lying.

Looking at Zhou Yi and Shi Qingxuan walking in together, Old Zhou sighed and relayed the story to the Xieji Sect members, and everyone's expressions changed.

Could it be that this old monster really just has extraordinary talent?

There are many doubts now, but this is not the time to talk about these things.

They also went in.

Many people from the martial arts world gathered in this dilapidated and ruined palace. It was empty inside, and the only eye-catching thing was the strange stone statue placed in the center on a raised stone pier.

Some of these stone statues are human-shaped, while others look like dragons but are not dragons, and have strange shapes.

Zhou Yi thought of the murals he had seen while walking along the stone cave. Someone had integrated martial arts thinking into the paintings.

These stone statues have a similar function.

Among all the people present, Master Zhenyan was probably the most touched, because in the Arhat Hall of Dashi Temple, there were also hundreds of Buddha statues with various hand seals, which would be of great benefit to the practice of the secret hand seals of Tantric Buddhism.

The predecessors incorporated their own martial arts thinking into it, and if you meet someone with the right affinity, you may be able to understand it a little bit.

Zhou Yi understood the intentions of these stone statues.

The evil emperors imitated everything in the Temple of War God, trying to create their own War God Atlas.

After careful counting, there are only twenty-one stone statues.

The War God Atlas teaches a man how to fish, and its forty-nine sculptures explain the mysteries of heaven and earth. The Xieji Sect tried their best but only managed to produce twenty-one, which is far from the effect of the War God Atlas.

Zhou Yi saw one of the dragon-shaped stone statues, which was incomplete just like the palace.

It makes people feel inexplicably sad.

This evil emperor failed, perhaps because his heart of Taoism was shattered and he was unable to leave behind his final insights.

so.

There are actually only twenty useful stone statues in this temple.

He looked all the way and gradually found a familiar charm from these stone statues.

So I watched it once, and then watched it three times.

He suddenly fell silent.

Finally, he figured out where this sense of familiarity came from.

There are exactly twenty seated statues in the collection of Xuanzhen Temple.

It is almost certain that these stone statues and the seated statues used in the exercises he practices come from the same source.

But that was before the sculpture in my mind was altered.

Another point is that these stone statues illustrate the secret magic of the demon sect.

The Xuanzhen Guanzang is a Taoist study.

Although they are wonderful, in Zhou Yi's eyes, they only add some insights into martial arts and are not something surprising.

"There's no mechanism here."

Shi Qingxuan walked around twice but found nothing.

One of them was not interested in martial arts, and the other lost interest in the stone statue.

So while others were immersed in the decaying palace, they went the other way and ran outside the hall.

The moment Zhou Yi walked out, he rushed up using his light Kung Fu skills. At a height of more than 30 feet, he thrust his sword into the rock wall, using the sword as a support to find a fulcrum for himself.

Then he placed his palms on the top floor of the underground hall.

As soon as he exerted force, the long sword under his feet bent down. It was impossible for him to blast it away with his palm power.

The stupid way is to find another sharp tool and slowly chisel a hole upwards.

But at this moment, with the sword as the root under his feet, his efficiency was greatly reduced, and the loss of power was extremely alarming. He also had to worry about being attacked by someone when he landed. This stupid method obviously could not be used casually.

Zhou Yi fell from the sky. Although he was not forced into a desperate situation, he couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

There are mountain walls all around, making it difficult to fly up, and there is a bronze mechanical snake in the lake below.

The relic's position remained unchanged, indicating that the mechanical snake was dormant in the water.

I don’t know how many mechanisms there are underwater.

The two of them made a big circle underground and searched everywhere.

Sure enough, some mechanical devices were found.

But they are all broken and cannot be used anymore.

At last they stood beside a large lake.

"It seems the mechanism can only be found underwater. I'll go down and take a look."

The girl just started to move when Zhou Yi pulled her back: "I'll go."

Zhou Yicai took a few steps when he heard footsteps slowly approaching the lake.

In a blink of an eye, I saw an old face full of wrinkles. He was holding a spear in his hand and his eyes were gloomy.

Murong Kualu didn't look at the stone statues again.

At his age, those stone statues are useless.

He doesn't have the time to realize it.

Moreover, this place is just a place that uses the natural environment to imitate the Temple of War God. It is not the Temple of War God at all, and there is no Atlas of War God.

The owners of those stone statues have never broken their immortality, so even if their martial arts skills improve by chance, it will only be a drop in the bucket.

Relics, I want the relics of the Evil Emperor!

He roared in his heart and aimed all his hopes at the bottom of the lake.

Murong Kualu's unusual behavior also attracted the attention of some interested people.

The old king noticed that many people were chasing out of the decayed palace. It would be extremely difficult to seize the relic in such an environment.

but

Stimulated by his strong desire for immortality, he actually came up with an idea.

Now everyone is trapped in a cage. Maybe there is a way to survive, or maybe no one can escape.

His hawk-like eyes quickly glanced at the girl next to Zhou Yi.

This girl has a close relationship with the hateful boy named Zhou. As long as she is caught, not only can Zhou be forced to take the relic, but other people can also be intimidated.

She was the one who opened the mechanism on the upper level, and the escape route here probably depends on her as well.

If we catch her, the rest of us will have to be cautious.

Seize the relics and escape, and make the impossible possible.

Murong Kualu was calculating frantically.

Seeing Zhou Yi preparing to go into the water, he was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, just as he approached, Zhou Yi returned from the lakeside and locked his sharp eyes on him.

Not only Zhou Yi but Shi Qingxuan also saw what this guy was trying to do.

Without waiting for Shi Qingxuan to take any action.

Zhou Yi walked directly towards Murong Kualu. His action immediately made the old king feel depressed and he thought he was too impatient.

He asked tentatively, "Are you going to do it here?"

"Isn't it appropriate?"

Murong Kualu said, "There's no way to go up to heaven, and no way to enter the earth. What's the point of fighting to the death? Once we're free from this, I'll fight you to the death."

Zhou Yi's eyes flickered with frost as he said indifferently, "Just lie to yourself."

After saying that, Canglang drew his sword.

Murong Kualu knew that he had seen through his thoughts, and smiled abnormally:

"Do you really think you can defeat this old man?"

Zhou Yi only said: "I asked you to pick a place to bury the bones before, but I didn't expect that you, an old coffin, would really be able to choose a place."

After hearing this, some bystanders saw that the old king not only did not refute, but nodded.

"If this old man cannot obtain what he desires, then he is of the same origin as these masters of the Demon Sect whose hopes have been dashed. If he dies here, it will be a fitting fate."

He shook his gun, and a powerful aura burst out from his whole body.

This is in stark contrast to his aging appearance.

The environment at this time is completely different from that in Duzun Fort. It is either life or death.

All hope depends on this battle.

Such a situation is in line with Beiba Gun's unstoppable killing momentum to destroy everything.

He poured all his life's strength into the spear, coating it with a silver glow that was brighter than the underground crystals. Between death and life, the old king brought out the aura of the Tuyuhun King and brought the spiritual power of the Beiba Spear to the extreme.

It is hard to imagine that such terrible power is hidden in his withered body.

Zhou Yi concentrated all his attention and raised his sword.

The sword blade broke through Murong Kualu's aura and isolated the power of Beiba Spear.

More and more eyes were fixed on him.

The two men's strong energy turned into wind, and they moved freely across the lake, like an invisible giant hand stirring the entire lake basin.

A wave pushes back!

Murong Kualu took action, the iron spear tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, the Broken Army Spear seemed to be just a simple straight stab,

However, at an extremely fast speed, the combined force is highly concentrated at the tip of the gun, creating extremely sharp penetrating power.

The moment the spear and sword collided, Murong Kualu stretched out his hand and slapped the spear, and a spiral of vibrating dark energy instantly burst out on Zhou Yi's sword.

This fierce move is enough to injure the opponent's internal organs and meridians and destroy the protective qi.

Zhou Yi spun the hilt of the sword in his palm, crushing the dark energy with the fierce sword energy.

A semicircular flame spread out with him as the center, and the sword wind whistled, blowing up dust and gravel on the ground.

This sword is not only powerful, but also brings up a force that pulls the space.

Murong Kualu raised his gun to block, and suddenly felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him. At the same time, his weapon was deflected by the force of space, his body was unstable, and the door was wide open.

At this moment, Zhou Yi slashed with a sword!

The old king's eyes were filled with fire, and his seemingly skinny arms were bulging with muscles and veins exposed.

"ah--!"

With a shout, he used his unique skill to interfere with the disaster.

He used his Chanhe Jin to form a layer of flexible and sticky aura on the surface of the gun, thereby greatly delaying and dispersing Zhou Yi's sword energy.

The gun body drew circles at high speed, and his two eyes were fixed on the flowing blades.

“Chichichi~!!”

The flowing blades crashed into the lake, creating huge waves.

With his unique skills, he could cleverly absorb part of the enemy's strength with the mixed force, then guide it into his own meridians through the iron spear, and then transform it into a never-ending spear force to exhaust the opponent.

However, this move requires profound skills to withstand, and the purity of the true energy cannot differ too much.

As soon as he absorbed a trace of Zhou Yi's true energy, the old king felt a burning pain in the meridians on his arm.

They are all innate true qi, but the difference is so huge that it cannot be absorbed at all!

At this time, the cleverness of the gun was greatly reduced.

There were sword wounds on his arms, thighs and face. Without thinking too much, Murong Kualu jumped into the lake.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow moved in the lake.

Zhou Yi chased after it. There was a strange clicking sound, and a large bronze mechanical snake broke out of the water, stabbing at him with the halberd-like sharp horns on its head.

Zhou Yi dodged and stepped on the mechanical snake.

Although Murong Kualu was not as agile as Zhou Yi, he still stepped three inches from the snake's neck.

He tilted his body sideways and fired a shot into the lake, creating a wave of water.

Zhou Yi arrived first after starting later. While the big snake was twisting its body, he unleashed a Sky Frost Fist, freezing the water waves under Murong Kualu's spear along with the spear.

The giant snake under his feet stared at Murong Kualu with its ochre-colored glazed eyes, and charged forward with immense force.

Murong Kualu broke free from the frost and ice, and the giant snake under his feet rushed towards Zhou Yi.

However, he was already at a huge disadvantage when he faced the enemy from below.

Suddenly, two more mechanical snakes rushed out.

Four snakes shuttled past each other, and the two men flew up to the sky, clashing their spears and swords in the air. The huge impact of the energy connected with the four giant snakes that smashed into the lake, causing waves several feet high.

Along with the waves, a fifth giant bronze snake also rushed up.

At this moment, Murong Kualu used his ultimate skill, Cold Star Shattering Soul, and transformed the iron spear into cold stars, which pierced Zhou Yi's chest acupoints like a violent storm.

His gun shadows were so numerous that it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and each strike was aimed at a fatal point.

But Zhou Yi was not only as strong as him, he could also use his sword energy to disperse his strange mixed spear energy, and his sword speed was even faster than his.

After a round of killing moves, Zhou Yi cut all the light of his Star-Breaking Spear into pieces, and the fiery sword light cut seven or eight hideous wounds on Murong Kualu's body.

If it were an ordinary opponent, this blow would have been enough to kill him.

But the old king has a strong body, and his withered body actually has a bit of the charm of "physical limit", making him a king who can withstand being chopped down.

Although he was covered in blood, he was able to seal the wound with a secret method to ensure that he would not die from bleeding.

"Bang~~!"

A fifth giant mechanical snake with gray and wooden eyes rushed over, but the two of them dodged its sharp horns.

Zhou Yi slashed with his sword, forcing Murong Kualu to fall onto the snake's head and almost be pierced by its sharp horns.

And Zhou Yi returned to heaven.

Everyone felt that at this moment, the momentum of the two powerful men reached its peak.

The old Tuyuhun king's chest swelled up, and he pressed hard on his dantian, and his spear flashed with silver light.

The body, spirit, true energy, everything related to the Beiba Spear was injected into it.

This move is the calamity of the Spear Tyrant. Every opponent who faces this move is facing a calamity.

Because it is a shocking blow that combines a lifetime of skills with the essence of Beiba's spear intent and Canhe Jin.

It is an unstoppable thrust that condenses all energy and spirit. At its peak, it can even mobilize the momentum of heaven and earth. It is the ultimate shot that simplifies complexity.

Murong Kualu had not reached that level, but the silver spear was like a living thing, an extension of his will.

His eyes were as sharp as lightning, locking onto his target.

Just then, Zhou Yi raised the fiery sword and slashed it down from the air.

Like the old king, Zhou Yi's spiritual will also extended out, and his physical spirit attached to the flowing blades. The next moment, these fire-colored flowing blades found their direction and gathered together.

In an instant, it became a huge sword force that chopped down!

“Boom~!”

The strong wind caused the lake to explode into waves, and the old king advanced without retreat, stabbing with a gun.

The attack of the combination of essence and energy extends from the outermost will.

With one collision, the spear's ray shattered~!!

Murong Kualu gritted his teeth, and a faint spatial fluctuation appeared between the guns, which was a reflection of the rapid absorption of strength.

He had reached his limit, and a powerful spirit came to him like the sky and the earth.

The fighting spirit finally shattered after a moment, and the power of the spear faded away in an instant.

The wounds on my body could no longer be healed.

The fiery sword energy lost its obstruction and pierced through the mechanical snake and the old king from top to bottom, and the sword light continued to cut onto the surface of the lake!

The green lake exploded, and the body of the bronze snake and the old king fell into the water from five feet away, splashing a second wave.

Wave after wave, as if to drown out the shock in the eyes of the surrounding onlookers.

Before Zhou Yi could catch his breath, two more bronze snakes rushed towards him.

He stepped onto the water, and instantly a moving sheet of ice formed.

He dodged the snake's powerful force with a flash of his body.

He turned around and chopped off the second snake's head from mid-air with a single sword strike. Even the bronze mechanical creations refined by the Mohist school could not resist his sword energy.

After the third huge wave hit, strange conditions appeared on the lake.

Ripples spread out in circles, and then whirlpools emerged.

The vortex was gaining momentum.

He was exhausted at this time and his energy was gradually weakening. He did not dare to stay and stepped to Shi Qingxuan's side.

At the front of the decaying palace, the corners of the mouths of a group of martial arts masters twitched slightly when they looked at Zhou Yi.

Just now they saw clearly the terrifying swordsmanship.

The old Tuyuhun king and the giant snake were killed together!

A top master fell just like that.

"You are not hurt, are you?" Shi Qingxuan gathered the sound into a line.

Zhou Yi said calmly: "It's okay, just a corner of my clothes is wet."

Shi Qingxuan turned around and saw the Grand Commander, who was feared by the Evil Emperor Temple, breathing lightly. She wanted to joke with him, but knew that this was not the right time.

"Maybe I know how to get out of here."

"oh?"

Her bright eyes shone with wisdom. "The strange phenomenon in the lake is exactly what you caused by slaying the mechanical snakes. The eyes of the five snakes are different colors, representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"What does this have to do with the mechanism?" Zhou Yi was a little worried that killing the big snake would destroy the mechanism.

She patiently explained, "In Mozi's book, Guiyi (Essentials of Righteousness), Mozi refuted the use of the Five Elements to predict good and bad luck: The Emperor used Jia and Yi to kill the Azure Dragon in the East, and Bing and Ding to kill the Red Dragon in the South... According to your words, this would prohibit all actions in the world!"

"He strongly despised the 'five elements' theory of mutual victory of the Yin-Yang school, such as Zou Yan, believing that too much fire could melt gold, and too much gold could extinguish fire, and that mutual victory was not fixed."

To learn the art of mechanics, one naturally has to understand Mozi’s theory.

For example, the theory of mechanical circulation also emphasizes the conditionality and practicality of things.

Zhou Yi seemed to understand something.

Shi Qingxuan continued, "So, this Five Elements Serpent is the mechanism that binds this place. By breaking this paradox believed by the Mohists, we can see clearly the world outside the Evil Emperor Temple."

Zhou Yi glanced in the direction of the ruined palace. Some people were gathering, and some were walking towards this side.

He glanced at the lake and made up his mind.

He immediately gathered his true energy and jumped into the lake.

Sure enough, as soon as they reached the lake, the bronze snake attacked again.

He ignored the consumption and drew his sword to slash out two sword auras.

Two huge snake corpses fell down.

When the last bronze mechanical snake rushed out of the water, several figures rushed to take action.

The movement on the water surface was getting louder and louder, and how could people from both the Buddhist and demonic worlds fail to see the clues?

This last mechanical snake can not only open the mechanism, but also holds a relic in its mouth!

Grab the relic and escape along the mechanism.

Everyone can make this calculation.

The majestic Great Perfection Staff Technique of Venerable Emperor Xin came through the wind, and the outer binding seal of Master Zhenyan fixed the snake's head. Master Jiaxiang, Master Daoxin, and Master Zhihui attacked together, intending to snatch the relic in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yike couldn't care less.

When the Evil King and the Queen and a group of Xieji Sect masters rushed over, he had already jumped back to Shi Qingxuan's side.

The people from the Demon Sect are still missing An Long and Xi Ying.

But Master Yixin was injured.

With the Evil King, the Queen, and the Coffin Palace, the Demon Sect is still the most powerful.

Zhou Yi didn't care whether the Buddhist sect could take the initiative. At the moment when the mechanical snake exploded, he only paid attention to the direction of the exit.

The strong winds from many masters pressed down, causing huge waves on the lake.

No "clicking" sound was heard from the mechanism.

It's just that the whirlpool in the lake is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yi was puzzled, but suddenly realized when he thought of the well in Shilong Courtyard.

"The exit is underwater. We should leave through the underground river."

Shi Qingxuan understood and pointed towards the place where people were fighting for the relics.

Zhou Yi was envious.

Now the relic is not empty. When the upper level pushed the mechanism just now, more than two hundred masters practiced their skills together and achieved the method of combining Yuan Qi and Yuan Jing.

The vital energy is different, but the essence is the same.

There is probably a lot of essence in here.

Shi Qingxuan saw his eagerness and entanglement, and whispered, "You go and grab it, and I can leave by myself. If you can get it and run away, then run away. If you can't run away, then just throw the relic away."

"No."

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "If I take action, they might all target me. At worst, I can just practice for a few more years. There's no point in taking that risk."

"When their momentum subsides, we will immediately rush into the undercurrent."

The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and many people stood on the shore waiting for their opportunity.

The whirlpool in the lake also grew to its maximum size.

The Queen's Demonic Magic was originally an indiscriminate attack, but she suddenly released the force field.

Shi Zhixuan, who had anticipated this, suddenly took action. His body was like a phantom, avoiding the Heart Buddha Palm Power of Master Zhihui, and used a hand seal to exchange a Bodhidharma hand seal with his teacher Master Daoxin.

The disciple had already surpassed his master. Master Daoxin avoided the sharp edge and Shi Zhixuan passed through lightly.

At this time, everyone looked at the Evil Emperor's relics.

Zhou Yi pulled Shi Qingxuan and jumped into the whirlpool of the lake.

They were still jumping. Shi Zhixuan smashed the flying mechanical snake head with one punch, and the bronze mechanism flew everywhere. He was about to grab the evil emperor's relics.

It was too late for the Buddhists, but Zhou Laotan's Demonic Palm slapped them down.

The relic fell downwards.

Queen Yin forced Fan Qinghui to retreat, and once again used the Heavenly Demonic Technique to hold back the rest of the Xieji Sect members, and was about to seize the relic!

Master Zhenyan, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, held his left index finger upright, and clenched his right fist to wrap around his left index finger, resembling the seal of Vairocana Buddha, but showing the true secret of the word "Lie".

This is the Wisdom Fist Seal, which contains a powerful "breaking" force that can disintegrate the opponent's protective true qi, internal defense and special aura.

He gathered his strength for a strike and hit the relic through the demonic force field.

Master Zhenyan even decided to destroy the relics.

However, the relic was so strong that it was beyond imagination, and even such a blow could not break it.

The relic turned into a golden light and, driven by the Wisdom Fist Seal, rushed into the turbulent, swirling waters of the lake at an extremely fast speed. The moment was so chaotic that even the perception became weaker.

“Plop, plop~!”

A large group of crazy gangsters jumped into the lake to fish in troubled waters.

Zhou Yi and Shi Qingxuan held their breath and jumped into the water before everyone else.

The lake water was icy cold, not at all what it should be in summer.

The underwater scene was blurry because of the whirlpool.

There was only a tornado-like stream of water rolling into the pitch-black cave. Zhou Yi could hold his breath for a long time without worrying about being drowned.

Then he left in the direction of the vortex.

Suddenly, Shi Qingxuan, who was closer to the front, looked back at him, turned around and pulled him to swim back, and relied on his body to resist the extremely strong rotation force underwater.

She leaned out completely, and Zhou Yi had to grab her smooth ankles on his way down.

Shi Qingxuan reached out several times in the turbulent flow and finally caught something.

But the moment she caught this thing, her whole body trembled and her breathing suddenly became unstable.

Zhou Yi sensed something was wrong and pulled her back.

She held the shining topaz in her hand and tried to stuff it into his arms.

But her own consciousness was very vague.

This relic is no longer an empty shell. If one does not master the method of controlling the relic, or if one's mental strength is not strong enough, one will not be able to resist the violent mental imprint contained within it.

This relic does not have the spiritual imprint of the evil emperors of past generations, but among the more than 200 masters, there is no shortage of people whose vital energy and soul are compatible.

Their chaotic mental power was also absorbed into the relics through the bronze mechanism.

Therefore, ordinary warriors cannot touch it directly and need a medium such as a mercury copper pot.

The moment Zhou Yi got the relic, he also felt a complex mental storm.

However, he possessed the secret skills of the immortal mind Zen, Zhuangzi's human world, changing the sky and striking the earth, etc. to fight against the spirit, and he did not care about the impact caused by the touch.

They were still rolling downwards in the swirling turbulence.

Zhou Yi shook the person in his arms, and the girl's black hair spread out and brushed against his cheek, and her breathing became more and more unstable.

If I can't hold my breath, I'm going to choke on the water.

When they were about to get close to the dark cave entrance, Zhou Yi lifted up his left hand and pulled her close to him. As he swallowed a stream of cold water that penetrated his bones, the two of them kissed each other.

I don’t know if it was the stimulation of the cold lake water, or the completely different temperature feeling on my lips compared to under the lake.

The mental shock that Shi Qingxuan suffered dissipated.

The white and blue clothes were floating and swirling in the turbulent flow, and the dark river cave was so dark that nothing could be seen.

but

The evil emperor's relic emitted light, and it also felt Zhou Yi's true energy, so it offered its loyalty and turned into a bright lamp, lighting up the girl's eyes in the dark.

It allowed her to see clearly the person who was looking into each other's eyes.

He went from being in a trance to becoming nervous, and then quickly calmed down.

Far from being unpleasant, the feeling is actually quite immersive.

That's it, it seems pretty good.

In the underground river,

The two people hugged each other and shared a long breath between their lips and tongues. The topaz sparkled and the undercurrent swirled, as if they didn't know what the world was.
