If these vengeful spirits are really allowed to fly away, won’t the third human face plague break out?
Xie Lian immediately said, “We have to find a way to stop it!”
Mu Qing's black clothes and black hair were blown into a mess on her shoulders. She asked, "Is there any way to stop it?"
The giant stone statue stopped in its tracks, stirring up a cloud of dust. Xie Lian said, "Everyone, hold your breath!"
With that, the advancing black smoke and ash began to pursue him. The giant stone statue raised its hand and struck out, its wind shaking the earth. If it had struck the ground, it would have been a hurricane that could uproot century-old trees. However, it ultimately dispersed some of the wind, while also blowing away some. Xie Lian couldn't help but think, "If only I had a sword!"
Hua Cheng seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Brother, there are ways to get the sword."
Xie Lianxi asked, "What's the solution?"
Hua Cheng said, "That depends on whether your immortal officials below are willing or not."
Feng Xin said, "If you have a solution, just tell him directly. Don't tell him some nonsense."
Xie Lian guessed what was going on and said, “Are you saying that we should have General Pei and the others work together to transform their bodies into swords?”
Hua Cheng said, "That's right. The priests in Tonglu Mountain have limited magical powers, but there are several martial gods here. If four of them could transform into Dharma bodies and attack together, they should be quite powerful."
Pei Ming was the first to respond, saying, "I think this idea is feasible."
Mu Qing was still skeptical, "Is this really possible? How many Martial Gods are there? Three, right?" Pei Su and Yin Yu had lost all their powers, and the Rain Master wasn't a Martial God, so the only ones who could take their place were Pei Ming, Feng Xin, and Mu Qing. Pei Ming said, "No, four. Qi Ying is here too."
"ah?"
Yinyu hesitated for a moment, holding the grain in one hand while pulling out a tumbler with the other. But before he could even unseal it, the tumbler began shaking wildly, emitting a piercing, shrieking sound. Everyone's ears stung, and they covered their ears. Yinyu quickly resealed it and pulled out another tumbler, saying humiliatedly, "Sorry, I got the wrong one. The one just now was the Green Ghost Qi Rong. This one is right here." He tossed the tumbler into the air, sending a burst of red smoke through it. A young man appeared in the mist, falling downward.
The giant stone statue raised its hand and caught it. The young man rolled over and landed in its palm. He scratched his blood-stained curly hair and looked up, bewildered to see a long line of people. Yinyu had already secretly hidden behind someone, but Quan Yizhen spotted him and jumped up, shouting, "Brother!"
“…”
Quan Yizhen immediately rushed over, and Yinyu got a headache at the sight of him. Perhaps he would rather listen to Qi Rong scream for three days and three nights than say another word to Quan Yizhen. Fortunately, Pei Ming grabbed Quan Yizhen and said, "Come on, come on, let's get to work, Qiying. We'll catch up after we're done!"
Quan Yi was completely baffled, and since he had a grudge against Pei Ming, he seemed about to throw a random punch. But when he looked up, he saw Xie Lian standing there, clasping his hands together and saying to him sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work, Qiying."
“…”
Although he was completely confused about the situation, he scratched his head and joined in. He wasn't entirely opposed to Mu Qing being the sword for the other Martial Gods, but with four of them, he couldn't just walk away. So, on the statue's palm, the four of them formed an array in the order of Pei Ming, Feng Xin, Quan Yizhen, and Mu Qing.
Hua Cheng rested his elbows on the edge of the Jade Crown Platform, took a look, and said, "Isn't the order of the last two people reversed?"
Logically speaking, the order should be Pei Ming, Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Quan Yizhen. This is because Quan Yizhen's magic power is relatively unstable. If he were in the middle of the sword formation, he might swing too hard and "break" mid-swing. Xie Lian wiped his sweat and said, "No, not against it. Feng Xin and Mu Qing absolutely cannot be placed together, because they might start fighting while swinging, so there must be other people in between."
Hearing this, Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow, his expression suggesting that they should beat each other to death. Looking down again, he saw a spiritual light emanating from the four men, growing stronger and stronger, extending outward, connecting into one, and finally transforming into a spiritual sword!
As soon as the sword took shape, the giant stone statue threw it upwards, stretched out its hand, and grabbed it!
With the sharp sword in hand, Xie Lian instantly gained strength like a tiger with wings. With great momentum, he slashed with the sword!
The vengeful spirits that were trailing billowing black smoke screamed incessantly at first, then stopped abruptly when they were chopped by the spiritual sword. Taking advantage of the victory, Xie Lian danced the sword into pieces of wild flowers, chopping the ghosts into pieces like a whirlwind. Wherever the sword swept, it was like fireworks exploding all over the sky, which was very beautiful. The demons and monsters below were stunned, and only when the giant stone statue's thousand-pound boots stepped on them did they remember to flee in all directions. In the midst of the chopping, suddenly, the giant stone statue stumbled and seemed to be about to fall over again. Xie Lian quickly used the sword to support the ground, barely stabilizing it. The several martial gods who formed the sword formation said, "What happened to His Royal Highness?"
"Keep fighting! They're gathering together again!"
Xie Lian had been manipulating the giant stone statue for so long that he felt slightly exhausted, sweat pouring down his forehead, and his mind was extremely tense. He said, "Nothing! It's just..."
It’s just that my magic power has been burned out again!
He turned his head sharply, and Hua Cheng was standing just behind him, seemingly about to reach out to him. So, Xie Lian took the plunge.
He rushed over and held Huacheng's face in his hands, then stood on tiptoe, closed his eyes and pressed his lips against his.
Feng Xin: “………………”
Admiration: "………………"
Quan Yizhen: “?”
Pei Ming: "Haha."
Holding Hua Cheng's face wasn't enough. Since it was already like this, Xie Lian decided to take more at once. He wrapped his arms tightly around his neck and kissed him even deeper. His previous fatigue vanished, and his entire body was filled with spiritual energy. Meanwhile, a chaotic roar erupted from the giant sword held by the stone statue. Feng Xin exclaimed in shock, "What are you doing? What are you doing, Your Highness?"
Xie Lian accidentally choked, and then they separated. Not daring to look down, he shouted to the sky, "Borrow! Borrow your magic power! I'm just borrowing your magic power! It's perfectly legitimate!"
Mu Qing was also shocked and said, "There's no need to do this to borrow mana, right? Can we just high-five and swear an oath?!"
Xie Lian didn’t know what he was saying anymore. He mumbled, “Hahahaha! You saw through me! It wasn’t actually me borrowing mana! Hahahaha…”
Seeing him like this, Hua Cheng also laughed. He held Xie Lian's face in his hands, bent down and kissed him on the forehead, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, brother."
“…”
Strangely enough, after this moment, Xie Lian suddenly returned to normal. He pretended not to hear Feng Xin and Mu Qing's voices, his face solemn as he joined his hand seals. The giant stone statue plucked the Spiritual Light Sword from the ground and slashed wildly, as if it had endless energy!
Quan Yizhen was suddenly impressed: "So he really was borrowing mana just now! He suddenly became stronger."
Mu Qing couldn't help but say, "That's bullshit, you know nothing..." Then, probably realizing that this kind of thing didn't need to be taught in detail to a grown-up like Quan Yizhen, he abruptly changed his words, "Yes, that's right, I'm just borrowing mana."
Pei Ming laughed and said, "That's right, but you can't just borrow it like that, understand Qiying?"
Feng Xin: "??? What are you all talking about??? You actually believed it???"
However, despite its increased power, those vengeful spirits were still so numerous that no giant net could contain them all. Seeing the giant god's power, they all turned and fled, swimming away in the air, their tails lashing like giant tadpoles with human faces. Xie Lian said, "Chase!"
Unexpectedly, after chasing for a few steps, the huge stone statue suddenly tilted without any warning and fell to the side!
Xie Lian had clearly absorbed sufficient mana just now, and he was in excellent condition. There was no reason for him to suddenly become so. Just as the statue was about to fall, Xie Lian glanced down and discovered a large hole in one of its legs. Broken rock was cascading down from the hole. A figure in white fluttered down from the statue, slowly settling, and then vanished, truly elusive, leaving no trace. It was Bai Wuxiang.
He actually broke one of the statue's legs with his bare hands!
The huge stone statue fell down with a loud bang. Fortunately, the people riding on the statue were not ordinary people. They reacted very quickly and jumped down first, landing safely.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng leaped onto the statue's chest. Xie Lian tried to summon it to its feet, but it was extremely difficult. The giant stone statue lay on the ground, struggling slowly, looking rather embarrassed. Mu Qing, who was in the sword formation, asked, "How is it? Can you still stand up?"
Quan Yizhen asked, "You have no mana anymore? Do you want to borrow more?"
Pei Ming said, "No. This time it's not a matter of mana. Qiying, don't remember this anymore. Just forget it."
Xie Lian said, “I’m afraid the injury is quite serious…it’s not advisable to move any further.”
Although stone doesn't feel pain, if it were forced to stand and continue attacking, I'm afraid its injured leg would fall off completely. Not only would its attack power be significantly reduced, but this statue was, after all, Hua Cheng's most painstakingly crafted masterpiece and Xie Lian's favorite. If it were truly destroyed like that, it would be heartbreaking. Seeing the enemy fall, the vengeful spirits in the sky danced with joy and scattered. Was he just going to watch them flee like this?
He looked to the side. Hua Cheng was furious, furious at Bai Wuxiang. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Brother..."
At this moment, a ray of dazzling white light shone through the dense black clouds, as if something was lighting up above the clouds.
Then, the second, third, and fourth...
Countless dazzling white lights pierced through, piercing through the dark clouds and the vengeful spirits!
This white aura, so intense it nearly blinded the eyes, was familiar to all the priests. The entire Immortal Capital was permeated and illuminated by this aura almost constantly.
Jun Wu is here!
