Chapter 147
Luo Chanzhi looked at the strange scene in front of him in disbelief.
How could someone stop her Dream Blowing Heart-piercing Spear, which she had practiced for a hundred years to perfect? How could this be possible!
Lang Yu and the others subconsciously breathed softly.
The oppressive feeling of the Dream Blowing Heart Thorn attacking them was still there, but the energy that stopped the Dream Blowing Heart Thorn made them even more suffocated. This invisible energy directly crushed the terrifying momentum of the high-level spell, and countless spikes were fixed in the air, unable to move forward at all.
Ji Tang slowly raised her hand, remaining calm amidst the countless sharp, cold lights. Her fingers were slender and long, bathed in the warm orange light of the sun, casting a lustrous luster. She tightened her fingers into a fist.
The next moment, all the spikes in the sky shattered and turned into starlight that fell down. Before they could touch the ground, they disappeared without a trace.
Ji Tang opened her clenched fist. This time, she didn't even chant any spells. She simply whispered five words in the direction of Luo Chanzhi: "Mist Shadow Prison."
As her voice fell, the earth suddenly shook with a mighty force, several times more terrifying than the force created by the Dream-Blowing Heart-Sting.
Thirty-six chains as thick as century-old giant trees broke through the ground and reached the sky. When they touched the clouds, they suddenly turned a corner. They overlapped in the air for a moment, then rushed straight down and fiercely penetrated deep into the soil, forming a cage connecting the sky and the earth, trapping Luo Chanzhi inside.
Cui Ranmei realized things were going badly and tried to escape, but it was too late. She was no match for the cage's speed. Before she could even get out of the cage, the thirty-six chains had already been erected, trapping the two of them inside.
Tan Wen hesitated for a long time but couldn't help asking Ji Tang in a low voice, "Yanzun, will this cage kill people?"
He probably knew that he shouldn't ask this question, so he lacked confidence when he said it.
Ji Tang snorted coldly when he heard this, "Are you heartbroken?"
Tan Wen stammered, "It's not... then..."
Ji Tang said no more. Since he was so stubborn, she didn't bother to persuade him.
The cage was filled with dark purple mist, and the few people could not see what was going on inside clearly, but the mist soon dissipated, and the chains of the cage jumped open from top to bottom. The thirty-six giant dragons shook their huge bodies as if satisfied, and then disappeared into the ground.
The terrifying pressure was dissipating, and several people endured it silently until it dissipated and they could see clearly ahead.
Luo Chanzhi was now collapsing in a state of disarray, with fragments of boulder around her and on her body, likely from a collision with the boulder during the spell attack. Curious, several people used their spiritual power to probe her and immediately saw that she was barely breathing, with no trace of spiritual energy left in her. Perhaps her foundation had been damaged.
Cui Ranmei on the side looked better than Luo Chanzhi. At least her breathing was still smooth, but she had lost consciousness now.
When Tan Wen saw Cui Ranmei's expression, he knew that it was Yan Zun who was holding back.
But whenever he thought of the cold look in Lord Nightmare's eyes just now, he couldn't open his mouth and say "Thank you Lord Nightmare for your mercy".
No one knew what Luo Chanzhi and Cui Ranmei experienced in the cage.
Just looking at the terrifying energy spread out by the formation and spells, one can tell that it must be so terrifying that it is beyond their imagination.
Luo Chanzhi gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot, wishing she could chop Jitang into pieces. But within her hatred, there was also a lot of fear and cowardice.
"Who...are you..."
Ji Tang: "Come to think of it, you once pretended to be me in my senior brother's dream. Why don't you find my face familiar?"
Luo Chanzhi forced herself to keep her eyes open, but the light in front of her was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. She had to look inch by inch, and only after looking carefully did she overlap it with the blurry but beautiful face in her memory.
She broke into a voice in shock, "You are—Nightmare Lord!"
Ji Tang: "Looks like I remember now." A smile appeared on her face, but it was colder than morning frost, indifferent and cold. "At the Chunhua Banquet, you helped my senior brother fall asleep. I have always remembered this 'favor' and have only repaid it until now. It's a little late, but I have finally repaid it."
Luo Chanzhi shrank his neck and dared not speak.
Ever since she knew that Nightmare Lord was still alive, she lived in fear every day.
The Immortal Lord is a man of high moral character and would not do anything to take her life, but the Nightmare Lord is different. He is very evil and holds grudges, so he might kill her.
She had intended to hide, but no matter how much she planned, she still didn't expect to meet her in such a secret place below the Nascent Soul stage!
The more Luo Chanzhi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He took out the communication talisman from his storage ring and crushed it.
The energy carrying the message fluctuated in the air for a moment, and just as it was about to break through the air, it was grabbed back by Ji Tang with a hook of his hand.
Despair flashed in Luo Chanzhi's eyes. The pain in her body and the mental torture almost made her collapse.
The information was revealed to the few people without reservation.
"This is an emergency! Save my life, and the Jade Embroidery Sect will be at your disposal."
Ji Tang ejected the energy containing the information, and the message disappeared without a trace the next moment.
Luo Chanzhi was a little dazed.
Ji Tang did not destroy the energy, but let it pass. She looked at the place where the energy disappeared leisurely, apparently waiting for someone to come.
Luo Chanzhi shrank back, just wanting to gain more chances to survive.
While waiting for others, Lang Yu took out the spiritual fruits and distributed them to Tan Wen and Yang Xiaoluan.
The two hesitated and didn't dare to respond, their eyes always glancing at Jitang.
Jitang seemed to have eyes behind him, "Why are you looking at me? If you don't want to eat it, give it back to Lang Yu."
Lang Yu simply pushed the spiritual fruit in front of the two of them. They subconsciously held the spiritual fruit and then sat aside to eat and absorb it.
Half an hour later, Ji Tang asked Luo Chanzhi impatiently, "Have the reinforcements you called for arrived yet?"
Luo Chanzhi remained in her injured, collapsed position—she was too weak to move. After half an hour, she was breathing more out than in, and everything she saw was a blur.
She no longer had the strength to make a sound. She felt her life slipping away with every passing minute, and her heart was filled with desolation.
She had felt some annoyance and regret before, but when she was about to give up, all she was left with was emptiness and powerlessness.
She was also waiting for reinforcements, but those reinforcements...
Ji Tang didn't want to wait any longer, so he stood up and cast a body-cleansing spell on himself, intending to take a few juniors with him to find some opportunities before leaving.
Just as she was about to take out the flying sword, the space suddenly fluctuated violently.
At this moment, Jitang's expression suddenly became solemn.
Lang Yu and his companions were pushed away by Ji Tang before they even knew what was happening.
They looked back in the air and saw a spatial crack in the open space in front of Ji Tang. A man stepped out, and the power of his single step was enough to make people breathless.
After being sent some distance by the energy, they regained control of their bodies. They then landed between tree branches, stood up, and looked in the direction of Jitang.
The leisure in Jitang's eyes had been replaced by caution and solemnity.
She said in a deep voice, "I wonder what treasures are hidden in this little secret place that could summon a damn old man like you?"
As Jitang spoke, he glanced at Luo Chanzhi.
Luo Chanzhi was also completely puzzled and confused when he saw the person coming, and his expression did not seem fake. Ji Tang was even more certain that this person's coming had nothing to do with Luo Chanzhi.
The one who appeared in front of Jitang was the lord in black.
It's no accident that he's here.
Ji Tang frowned and immediately thought, "The Yuxiu Sect is your lackey of the black forces."
The black-clad lord laughed grimly and said, "Not bad."
With Luo Chanzhi's ability, he definitely cannot summon the Lord in Black. At most, he can find a few fourth-level or third-level black believers. Then why did the Lord in Black suddenly appear here?
The Lord in Black had already walked out of the space crack, and the crack was gradually closing behind him.
The wide hood covered his face, leaving only his chin exposed. It moved slightly as he spoke, "There are no treasures in this secret place, but there is you, Jitang."
Only then did Ji Tang realize that she had touched Luo Chanzhi's communication energy, which would have some of her scent on it.
Ji Tang remained calm, "So you came because of me, because my senior brother is not here."
He wants to defeat them one by one?
Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou have never been defeated when they team up to fight the Lord in Black. If one person fights him, it may take some effort.
However, Jitang is already a person who is about to touch the way of heaven. Even if he fights against the black-clothed lord who is suppressed by the way of heaven, he can still compete with him.
Just as Ji Tang was thinking about it, the lord in black suddenly moved.
He rushed forward like the wind and arrived in front of Jitang in the blink of an eye.
The black-clad lord was very close to her and whispered in her ear, "I've been planning this for thousands of years, and it's time to get the results."
Ji Tang attacked immediately, but the black-robed lord predicted her attack and grabbed her wrist in mid-air.
He said, "However many Nine Provinces formations you can destroy, I can restore them. As long as the 'formation eye' of the main formation is in my hands, the main formation will definitely be activated. Don't waste your time."
Ji Tang kicked him with his foot, "If that's the case, then I'll just kill you!"
She had thought of many ways to crack the formation and had studied it for so long, but she still couldn't find the "core" of the formation. It was like walking into a maze with no exit. She tried many paths, but every one of them was blocked.
Since the road is blocked, let's just overturn the maze.
As long as the black-clothed lord is killed, the Jiuzhou formation will collapse on its own.
The black-robed lord dodged and retreated, briefly exchanging glances with Ji Tang, and saw the murderous intent in her eyes.
He shook his head repeatedly and his laughter grew louder and louder.
"Ji Tang, although I am restricted in the world of cultivation, it is not impossible for me to kill you. But guess why I don't kill you?"
Ji Tang wanted to kill him and didn't want to be led by him, so he didn't say a word.
Facing the Lord in Black, she secretly made up her mind to kill him today.
But something unexpected happened! Just as she finished the complex hand gestures and released the spell, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill in her body.
This coldness seemed to form an ice cone in a very short time, and then it suddenly grew larger, directly bursting her flesh and internal organs, instantly placing her in an extremely cold place.
The cold and severe pain made her feel like she was dying.
Ji Tang stopped suddenly, and he looked like a sculpture frozen in an extremely fast manner.
It was impossible for ice cones to appear out of thin air in her body. This thing was actually an extremely cold air. Because it was too terrifying and spread too quickly, she had the illusion that her whole body was pierced.
She froze in place, even her exhaled breath forming a cloud of white smoke.
The temperature of her entire body plummeted, and the warm sunlight could not reach her. She felt as if she were permanently stranded in the snowy north, and no part of her body was hers anymore.
The black-robed lord walked over.
Ji Tang raised his eyes with difficulty.
The hood covering his face was lifted up a little when he dodged just now, revealing the area below his nose.
Jitang saw that he was smiling.
"Ji Tang, don't you understand by now? I left the icy marrow of an extremely cold plant in your body. You may not have heard of it, but you must know what it is. It also appeared in Wu Xun and Yu Jin."
Ji Tang shuddered when he heard this.
It was the first time the Lord in Black saw her so flustered. Although it was only for a moment, he was still pleased by her reaction.
"I don't need to fight with you. As long as I awaken the ice marrow in your body, you will be at my mercy. As long as I want, you will face death as fragile as Wu Xun and Yu Jin." His voice was like an ice-hardened blade, and every word cut into Ji Tang.
