"That is..." Following Luo Yan's gaze, Miss Shi couldn't believe her eyes, "Guixu?"
"No." Luo Yan shook his head, "They should just be ancient ruins from the same period, so they have the same architectural style and appearance."
"You mean, the ancient monks who once lived at the bottom of this Five Qis Chao Yuan Cave..."
"It is very likely that they are the same group of ancient monks who established Guixu in the Great Abyss." Luo Yan said.
"Is that so?" Shi Liuli seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said excitedly, "Why don't we go explore that palace?"
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, only to hear Kunlun Mirror suddenly say:
"The Chaoyuan Qi channel is inside that palace."
"Are you sure, Jing?"
"It's so close, of course I can sense it..." Kunlun Jing's voice paused, "My body fragments are also in there."
"Then we can catch them all in one swoop." Luo Yan sneered.
"Be careful, since it didn't hesitate to collapse the cave and lead you here, there must be some trap here." Kunlun Mirror quickly reminded.
"Don't worry, Ajing. No matter what tricks your body fragments have up their sleeves, how can they fool me... Shit!" Luo Yan was speaking contemptuously when he suddenly saw a huge, ferocious head popping out from the darkness in the sky ahead.
It was a gigantic dragon... To be exact, it didn't look like a living dragon, but more like some kind of undead creature unique to the Western fantasy world.
Its body was almost translucent, with an ominous blue glow. The bones inside were as pale as ivory and as bright as cold jade, without a trace of flesh and blood.
"What a vicious magic skill!" Qing Ping Jian said in surprise, "Using dragon bones as the formation base, flesh and blood as ink, and engraving the soul-binding formation on it, it has imprisoned countless dragon souls inside, creating such a stitched monster. Isn't the person who set up the formation afraid of being punished by heaven?"
"Let's not worry about that." Luo Yan quickly pulled Shi Liuli to hide behind the pile of rocks and asked urgently, "What's the way to deal with this monster?"
"The advice I can give is to flee." Qing Ping Jian sneered, "Even if it is a living dragon, no matter what species, the strength level is guaranteed to be the Golden Core Realm. Master Sword Master, you are just a small Foundation Establishment Realm disciple, what are you thinking?"
"If we are to expose Qiu Changtian's methods and strike him with the Arctic Thunder that is specifically designed to defeat the dragon clan, I don't know what our chances of winning are." Luo Yan was gritting his teeth to assess the situation when he saw the ghost dragon suddenly let out a long, earth-shaking roar that made the surrounding stone walls seem to tremble.
Then, it aimed the two flickering ghost fires in its skull eye sockets at Luo Yan who was hiding behind the pile of rocks.
Suddenly, his vision blurred and his ears were filled with noisy beeps... until the Kunlun Mirror screamed, awakening the almost dizzy Luo Yan from his semi-coma:
"Guan Shui, run!"
Luo Yan shuddered suddenly, and his scattered gaze quickly focused on the rapidly approaching ghost dragon's head - the latter was already within dozens of feet, and a bone-chilling cold current was blowing towards his face through the sea water.
"The vast expanse is without light, the North Sea is filled with dark thunder!" Luo Yan silently recited the spell in his heart, and a ball of dark lightning condensed from his sleeve in his right hand. It was the North Pole Thunder that was specifically designed to defeat the dragon clans of the four seas.
He recited "Thunder and Fire Text, Jade Pivot Divine Thunder" again, and his left hand pulled out a ball of green lightning from his sleeve. It was the Jade Pivot Thunder that specifically defeated evil spirits.
He quickly glanced over and confirmed that Shi Liuli was in a dizzy state and unconscious. He immediately swung his hands and shot away the two lightning bolts with his sleeves.
At this time, the ghost dragon was too close and was hit before he could dodge. The Jade Pivot Thunder was faster and hit the dark blue "soul flesh and blood" first, then it was like a red-hot iron inserted into ice and snow, burning and melting it directly.
Then came the Arctic Thunder, which was half a second slower but silent, passing through the big hole made by the Jade Pivot Thunder and hitting the dragon bone engraved with runes.
Amid the earth-shattering roar, Luo Yan had already pulled out the Qingping Sword. The sword light wrapped around the unconscious Miss Shi, and then he directly activated the unity of man and sword and rushed towards the palace in the distant coral forest!
escape!
Escape, escape, escape, escape...
He didn't even dare to turn back to check what happened to Guilong. Anyway, he wasn't even at the Golden Core level, so it was wishful thinking to kill him.
He had barely run half the distance when his mind began to feel dizzy again - it seemed that the ghost dragon was catching up from behind and casting another strange and bizarre illusion of immobilization!
At the critical moment, Kunlun Mirror came to the rescue again and woke Luo Yan up with a scolding.
Coming back to his senses, Luo Yan was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He quickly made a gesture and pulled out the most powerful trump card in his trump card, the Acquired Five Elements Great Extinction Divine Light, and rushed towards the back regardless of anything.
The divine light hit the ghost dragon head-on. Luo Yan and Miss Shi rushed into the main gate of the palace at the same time. Only then did they have time to look back. They saw that the ghost dragon's head had been completely shattered and out of shape, but it was still moving freely in the sea and rushing towards the palace violently.
Even though it is a secret technique of the immortals and an unparalleled thunder method, it is still not lethal enough due to the limitations of his current level of cultivation!
He quickly picked up Miss Shi again and flew away on his sword towards the depths of the palace.
There was another loud noise like thunder, and the ghost dragon crashed into the main gate of the palace.
Although the main gate was open, it was too small compared to the ghost dragon's body. The latter could not get in at all. It just rammed the palace like crazy from outside, shaking the walls on both sides.
Luo Yan rushed into the depths of the palace with Miss Shi. Only when they saw that the ghost dragon did not catch up with them did they stop and breathe a sigh of relief.
Shi Liuli moaned and slowly woke up. She realized Luo Yan was beside her. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw her surroundings clearly and let out a terrified scream.
The hall where the two were was filled with white bones and skulls lying all over the place.
Some sat on ornate stone chairs, holding carved silver cups in their hand bones; others fell on the cold stone ground, hugging and holding hands with other skeletons.
"Is this..." Shi Liuli said in a trembling voice, "The underworld?"
"There are many ghosts in the underworld, not corpses." Luo Yan corrected her, "This should be a gathering place of the ancient dragon clan. It's just that something happened later, causing them all to die here."
"Dragon clan?" Shi Liuli asked timidly.
"That's right." Luo Yan said, "Look at the foreheads of these skulls."
Shi Liuli looked carefully and found that there were indeed slight bulges on both sides of their foreheads, which was one of the characteristics of the dragon clan after they transformed.
"How... did they die?" She hugged Luo Yan's arm in fear and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Luo Yan looked around and asked Kunlun Mirror again, "Where are your fragments?"
"It's inside the inner room in front." said Kunlun Mirror.
"Stay here for now, don't move." Luo Yan turned around and told Shi Liuli, "I'll be back soon."
"No!" Shi Liuli quickly hugged his arm, "I want to go with you!"
I knew it would be like this... Luo Yan sighed inwardly, pointed his finger, and activated the Heaven-Flipping Seal, which slammed into the door of the inner room in front!
