Although he felt helpless about his junior fellow apprentice still being so dramatic at this time, seeing that the results were the same, Chu Lu chose to remain silent for the time being.
During the short delay, fog spread all around. In the area covered by the fog, the trees and grass withered at an unusual speed and turned into dust on the ground. The black fox on Yan Chu's shoulder had already jumped down. The moment its paws touched the ground, it turned into a giant fox several people tall, breathing towards the direction of the shrine.
——It’s Cangbi.
Chu Lu frowned and waved his sleeves.
Where the spiritual power fell, a pair of rabbit ears were lifted up, and then the mud rabbit that had shrank neatly into the grass leaves in the distance and shivered at the moment the accident occurred was thrown far away.
Yan Chu was stunned when he saw this scene.
He blinked, his eyes bright as if he was thinking of something.
Brother, he...
Saved a monster?
Director Yan tilted his head and his burning gaze fell on Chu Lu.
Even though the current situation was not good, he still couldn't help but smile very brightly, "Brother, you..."
The unfinished words were interrupted by a snake tail covered with golden scales. Chu Lu blocked the attack for the distracted Yan Chu and reminded him in a deep voice, "Focus!"
Yan Chu immediately shut his mouth, but there was still a smile in his eyes.
He didn't know whether his senior brother had figured it out or not, but since he was willing to save a monster, this was definitely a good trend.
…
The snake's tail failed to hit the target and quickly retreated, breaking a pillar. The already shaky shrine collapsed, and in the thick smoke and dust, a tiger-like stone statue enshrined in the shrine came into view.
--No wonder.
The moment they saw the statue clearly, Chu Luyan and the others had this thought at the same time.
…No wonder that traitorous disciple of the Beast Taming Sect stayed in this place, no wonder Cang Bi fled here, and no wonder that woman was able to get the method to curse and kill Master Xu from here…
The deity beast Bi'an is worshipped in this shrine.
This shrine must have once been so popular that it even enshrined stone statues of living beings.
The traitor from the Beast Taming Sect must have discovered this, and that’s why he stayed here, hoping to infect the beasts with their demonic spirits and resentment, causing them to degenerate into demons, and then take them in for his own use and drive them;
The Cang Bi has the blood of the Bi'an, and it probably sensed this when it was fleeing, and turned here. For monsters, monsters of the same origin are great tonics, and it is of great benefit to the body after devouring them. This Cang Bi probably took advantage of the struggle between the traitor of the Beast Taming Sect and the Bi'an's spiritual consciousness and sneaked in to kill people and take their souls;
The woman who entered the shrine by mistake was able to escape unscathed, perhaps because Cang Bizhi was busy fighting with Bi'an at the time and had no time to care about other things. Bi'an was litigious by nature and was a divine beast that protected the common people, so it was not surprising that he would respond to the woman's grievances. However, he was infected by resentment in the end, and the woman finally received the curse of "dying together";
…
…………
But even though he understood it, a Cang Bi that had devoured the Bi'an's spiritual consciousness was not that easy to deal with.
It can only be said that it is fortunate that the two arrived in time, otherwise, if Cang Bi really used all the power of the divine beast for himself, there would probably be another danger of the world being overturned.
Chu and Yan looked at each other. The tacit understanding they had gained through years of cooperation had not become unfamiliar due to the long separation. They exchanged ideas almost in an instant.
The Dragon-Trapping Chain suddenly appeared, blocking the snake's tail that Cang Bi was pulling out layer by layer. Chu Lu grabbed one end of the chain with his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He pulled hard, and the huge golden snake body drew an arc in the air and was thrown fiercely in one direction. Where the snake's body fell was a sharp sword intent - Yan Chu had been waiting here for a long time.
As a result, a bloody sword mark suddenly appeared on the waist and abdomen where Cangbi's body and the snake's tail met.
It opened its mouth with a distorted expression and let out a tiger-like roar from its throat. Purple-black smoke came out of its mouth. Facing this directly, Yan Chu had no intention of dodging and continued to gather strength for his sword moves.
At the same time, another chain suddenly strangled Cangbi's neck, and the poisonous smoke that was exhaled was forcibly stopped as soon as it emerged. The huge monster was forced to change direction again. When the chain was loosened, the poisonous gas that had been accumulated for a long time was finally released, and it was aimed at the group of monster spirits that were released because of the death of the traitor of the Beast Taming Sect.
The chains loosened, but Cang Bi, who had been fooled repeatedly, had his scales exploded. He wanted to chase after the owner of the chains, but behind him was a sword move that even Yan Chu had been accumulating for a long time.
This demon was seriously injured again...
The demon's blood poured down, corroding the ground into pits.
Half of the Cang Bi's shoulder was almost torn off by this move. It roared in pain, and its snake tail covered with golden scales lashed out fiercely at the man with the sword. Yan Chu seemed unaware of the whistling wind behind him. He continued to move forward with the momentum of the previous attack, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the monster spirit that had been trapped and gathered together by the chains controlled by Chu Lu.
As the sword swept across, the chains that had originally gathered the monsters suddenly withdrew, crisscrossing to form a huge net behind Yan Chu, blocking the giant tail that could split gold and break rocks.
After this strike, only one in ten of the monster spirits gathered here survived, and the occasional one or two that escaped were torn apart and swallowed by the black fox that had been waiting on the side. The Cang Bi, whose attack was blocked, was once again pulled by the chain towards the monster group on the other side.
…
…………
And then, although the details are different, it is almost a repetition of the process——
Chu Lu used the Dragon Binding Chain to block Cang Bi's movements and create an opportunity for Yan Chu to attack; when Yan Chu and Cang Bi were entangled, Chu Lu used the chain to gather the scattered monster spirits that wanted to escape; Yan Chu turned to use his sword moves to fall into the group of monsters, and Chu Lu used the chain net to block Cang Bi's pursuit... If there were any fish that slipped through the net, the black fox on the side would make up for it...
…………
…
Yun Huiming and his group, who rushed over after receiving the message, witnessed this scene.
No matter whether it was the huge Cang Bi or the numerous monster spirits, with the cooperation of these two people, they were like clay puppets being manipulated by anyone and were completely powerless to resist.
——Shocked.
It was a shock that came from the bottom of my heart.
It was as if they had witnessed the end of their life's practice, and one could only wish they could die in their place.
They all involuntarily clenched their weapons, and a surge of hot blood surged in their chests, waiting to be released.
…
…………
But after the sudden shock, I felt "shocked".
As disciples of Tianshang Mountain, they were not so far away from recognizing their master's sword moves. However, the person who used these sword moves, although dressed in men's clothes, had the same face as the "Mrs. Bai" they saw yesterday.
Yun Huiming & Wen Buyan:?!
But this kind of thing is indeed something their leader can do...
Yun & Wen: "..."
The two of them anxiously recalled whether they had done anything offensive yesterday, but the moves before their eyes captured their attention so tightly that they had no time to think about it.
Not only is the spiritual power stirring and the moves exquisite, but the cooperation between the two is also seamless.
Yun Wen and the other man were from the same school. Whenever they learned sword moves, they would practice with each other. When they encountered a strong enemy, they could stand with their backs against each other and trust each other with their lives. But they asked themselves if they could cooperate to such an extent - without words, without communication, without even a glance, they could predict with certainty the next response of the other party... How much understanding do they have with each other to achieve such a tacit understanding?
If "Mrs. Bai" is their leader, then who is the other "Senior Jiang"?
The name "Jianglu"...
Before these disciples could figure out what was going on, the situation ahead suddenly changed - what seemed like a joke over there did not continue after all.
Accompanied by a slight "crack" sound, Yun Huiming and others saw mottled cracks appearing on the chain.
After once again forming a web to block the attack of the snake's tail with golden scales, the chain finally seemed to be unable to hold on and broke into pieces of broken links.
The pupils of several young men all shrank, and they even shouted out without caring about the spirit of the monster they were fighting against.
However, the two people who were in the battle had unchanged expressions, as if they had anticipated the current situation.
The Dragon Trapping Lock was destroyed to such an extent by Yan Chu that it was only a matter of time before it broke. The reason it was able to hold on until now was because Chu Lu intentionally filled it with spiritual power during the battle, reducing the direct impact and delaying the inevitable breakage until now.
At the critical moment, a voice suddenly came from Yun Huiming's sea of consciousness. His tense nerves made it impossible for him to make out the meaning of the voice, and he subconsciously agreed to the request.
“clang——”
There was a crisp sound of metal hitting stone, and the snake's tail that was supposed to hit Yan was picked up by another sword. The sword then pierced through the gap between the scales, adding another bloody mark to the already scarred snake's tail.
Yun Huiming then realized that the voice that just sounded in his sea of consciousness was -
[Lend me your sword.]
The cooperation between the two in the battle had been perfect, but when they held swords at the same time, Yun Wen and the other man still couldn't suppress the look of astonishment on their faces.
Most of the disciples of Tianshang Mountain practice swordsmanship, and they have countless coordinated sword moves. But after watching this battle, we know that their so-called "combined moves" are nothing more than attacking the same enemy. Calling it "coordination" is a joke.
And the moves used by Senior Jiang... are indeed the usual ones used by disciples of Tianshang Mountain...
It is even more obvious and standard than the head sect leader whose sword moves are always imaginative and unexpected.
He...
…
…………
The young man frowned in thought, but the cooperation that should have been perfect was not flawless.
It's not human fault, it's the weapon's fault.
The sword that Yun Huiming carried was a standard one used by disciples of Tianshang Mountain. In the eyes of mortals, it could be called a "divine weapon." However, against a big monster like Cangbi, even with the blessing of spiritual power, he could only barely hit the scales without breaking them. If he wanted to hurt the monster, he could only stab it against the direction of the scales when it was least prepared, as he did at the beginning...but this would only injure the skin and flesh.
Apparently, the Cang Bi also discovered this weakness and began to attack the white figure without dodging or blocking.
The intersecting sword beams approached, and the monster with a human head and a snake tail showed a mocking look: What does it matter if the cooperation is perfect? It is easy to dodge the attack of just one of them.
Blood splattered, and the mocking smile on the monster's face froze. It looked blankly at the snake's tail that fell softly to the other side, then slowly lowered its head to look at the "neat" sword cuts on its lower body.
——You obviously, obviously dodged it?!
It looked up in disbelief, and when it saw the two people standing against each other, it finally understood.
It turned out that the two of them had exchanged weapons at some point...
It suddenly laughed miserably.
…
The laughter turned into a long howl, and Yun Huiming and the others felt their sea of consciousness shaken, their spirits unstable, their heads buzzing, and everything they saw before their eyes brought out overlapping phantoms. Qianxunyu and Xun Ming, who had lower cultivation bases, staggered and fell to the ground. Yun Huiming and Wen Buyan, who were still standing, also felt their limbs go weak, and they no longer had the strength to fight against the enemy.
Fortunately, the spirit of the monster that they were supposed to stop was also frightened by the howl and had no more power to escape.
Not far away, the upper half of the body of the Cang Bi was suspended in the air, as if time was going backwards. The blood that had just splattered and the broken tail that fell in the distance gathered together again on its body, but the tail did not reconnect. Instead, it formed a blood mist in mid-air, which, together with the gathered blood, wrapped up the half of its body that should have been lingering on, forming a huge blood cocoon.
This gigantic blood cocoon frantically devoured all life around it, spreading outward with it as the center. Grass and trees withered, and even the spirits of the monsters and beasts lying limp on the ground seemed to have their last bit of energy devoured. They became weak and powerless, and eventually completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Yun Huiming and his companions felt that in the blink of an eye, everything they saw turned into a lifeless wasteland.
After realizing this, they were shocked again. If it weren't for the two people standing in front of them, they would have turned into a handful of earth by now.
In contrast, the blood cocoon that had absorbed the vitality of half of the mountain seemed to be pregnant with something.
Through the blood mist, they saw the pulsation of the existence nurtured within.
