Chapter 238: Purgatory on Earth, Blood and Flesh Soul Refining Formation
As the blood-red flag in the hook-nosed old man's hand waved, a strange force spread out.
The Silver Moon Sect's leader and others were completely stunned, unable to move at all.
"Senior, what do you want to do?"
The leader of the Silver Moon Sect looked at the blood-red flag with a trembling heart. His intuition told him that it was an extremely terrifying thing.
"You will soon know what this old man wants to do."
The old man with the hooked nose showed an increasingly weird look on his face, and said with a smile.
A faint black gas was emanating from the small blood-colored flag in his hand.
At the same time, in the entire Liuyun Town, the stone pillars that were originally standing in certain strange locations began to shake slightly, and there was an invisible force connecting them.
Wisps of black mist emerged from the stone pillars and quickly spread throughout the town.
"What's this?"
On the street, some townspeople looked at the black fog floating towards them, and out of curiosity, reached out to touch it.
Then the next moment, he regretted his action.
As soon as his fingertips touched the black mist, his fingers began to melt like a burning candle, followed by his palm and wrist, and quickly extended up his arm.
"ah!!!"
Such great pain is naturally beyond the endurance of an ordinary person.
The townsman let out a terrifying scream, fell to the ground, and rolled around wildly, trying to shake off the black fog.
However, this was of no use. The black fog seemed to be a living thing. Once it saw human blood, it could not be gotten rid of.
Not only did it tightly wrap around the townsman's arms, but it was also eating away at his entire body bit by bit.
boom!
Such a horrifying scene naturally frightened other pedestrians on the street.
Everyone ran away and looked at the townsman in horror, not understanding why he suddenly became like this.
Some people wanted to use brooms and cloths to help disperse the black fog, but it was useless.
It was as if the black fog had identified the townsman and clung to him tightly.
The unbearable pain soon made the townsman faint.
Then, everyone watched as he was swallowed up and melted by the black fog bit by bit.
Not long after, the whole person disappeared, leaving only a set of clothes and a pool of blood on the spot.
After devouring one person, the black mist floated up again, its color became a little darker, and began to drift towards the person next to it.
"Ah, run!"
Having witnessed the miserable state of that man just now, everyone knew how terrifying this strange black fog was. Seeing it floating again, everyone was terrified and fled screaming.
A few people who escaped a little slower were caught by the black fog and screams were heard again.
But this time, no one dared to stop to watch and help, and they all just tried to save their own lives.
Similar situations occurred on the streets of Liuyun Town. For a while, screams were heard one after another in the town, like a purgatory on earth.
"What's going on?"
On a hillside several miles away from Liuyun Town, Lu Qing and Ma Gu were tidying up the tent in the woods. Suddenly, his face changed.
There was no time to explain anything as his figure had disappeared from the spot. With a few jumps, he climbed to the top of a giant tree nearby and looked down at Liuyun Town below.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed again.
At this time, Liuyun Town was covered by a thin colored light curtain. Dark air was lingering in the town. Faintly, one could see someone rolling and struggling in it, roaring.
But the strange thing was that no sound was heard.
"Ah Qing, what happened? I seem to sense a surge of resentment coming from the town."
The old doctor's figure also appeared next to Lu Qing at this time.
"Master, look."
Lu Qingyao pointed forward, and the old doctor looked in the direction. The powerful eyesight given by his innate body allowed him to see the tragic situation in the town at once, as well as the gray light curtain covering the town.
He asked in surprise, "What is that?"
"It's a formation, and a very vicious demonic formation!" Lu Qing said in a deep voice.
As a person who possessed the inheritance of the Divine Talisman Sect, he could tell at a glance that the gray light curtain now covering Liuyun Town was the result of some evil formation.
But what he didn't understand was how someone could set up such an array when the spiritual energy had just revived.
"Array, immortal method?" The old doctor's face changed, "Ah Qing, do you have any way to break it?"
Although the old doctor was already a powerful warrior who had achieved minor success in his innate abilities, he did not understand the magical methods such as formations, so he could only place his hopes on Lu Qing.
“There are generally only two ways to deal with formations: breaking them with force or breaking them with ingenuity.
To break it with force means to use absolute strength to break the defense of the formation in one fell swoop and destroy the formation.
To break it with cleverness, you need to find the nodes where the formation operates and destroy them. As long as the nodes are destroyed to a certain extent, the formation will not be able to operate and will naturally break. "
Lu Qing quickly explained his master.
"Then how can we crack it?"
The old doctor saw that some people in the town had started to flee, but were blocked by the light curtain at the edge.
In desperation, he tried to force his way out, but as soon as he touched the light curtain, he was dissolved and melted by the black air floating above, and his face looked very ugly.
"Disciple is not sure."
Lu Qing answered, but his eyes were fixed on the light curtain.
Finally, as a faint purple supernatural light emerged, several notes floated in his field of vision.
[Blood-melting gray light: A light curtain created by the evil formation of the Flesh and Blood Soul Refining Formation. It has strong defensive power and can melt flesh and blood.]
[Blood and Flesh Soul Refining Formation: A primary evil formation passed down from the ancient times of cultivating immortals, extremely vicious.]
[When a living being is in the Blood and Flesh Soul Refining Formation, all of its blood, qi, bones and flesh will be melted by the power of the formation and transformed into resentment, nourishing the formation eye and formation flag.]
[The Flesh and Blood Soul Refining Formation has a total of eighteen formation nodes. Once more than nine nodes are destroyed, the formation will be unable to function and will collapse without being attacked.]
[This flesh and blood soul refining formation in front of me seems to be just a simplified version. The power of the formation can only dissolve and refine creatures below the innate realm. Its power is far less than the complete version. ]
…
Looking at the message in his field of vision, Lu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although we still don’t know why the ancient evil formation would appear in Liuyun Town.
But since this is just a simplified version of the Flesh and Blood Soul Refining Formation, it will be much easier to deal with.
"Ah Qing, have you thought of a solution?"
The old doctor had been paying attention to Lu Qing's expression. Noticing that he suddenly looked a lot more relaxed, he immediately asked.
"I have some clues, Master. We must break this formation quickly. Otherwise, if we are late, I am afraid that everyone inside will die."
"Then tell me what to do."
The old doctor looked at the tragic situation in the town and said hurriedly.
"It's not difficult to break the formation, but the person who can set up such a formation must be extraordinary. I'm afraid you, Master, will have to deal with it then."
"Of course." The old doctor nodded, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
The situation in Liuyun Town below was so tragic that even he, who usually disliked fighting with others, couldn't help but feel murderous in his heart.
"Then Master, let's talk as we go. I'm going to get something downstairs, you go ahead."
Lu Qing nodded, his figure floated down the tree, and he went into the carriage.
When he came out again, he was holding a longbow and a long sword in his hands.
"Mr. Lu, what happened? Where is Doctor Chen?"
The chubby middle-aged man came forward and asked.
He saw Lu Qing jump to the top of the tree with a drastic change in expression, and even the old doctor went up there, so he thought something unusual must have happened.
But now that Lu Qing had come down, the old doctor didn't know where to go, and he couldn't help feeling strange.
The others also looked over.
"Something happened in Liuyun Town. My master and I need to go there. Senior Xu, you guys will stay here for now."
Lu Qing explained, then turned around and said to Ma Gu and Wei Zian seriously, "Master Ma, Zian, you two should stay here and look after our luggage."
"I know, sir!"
Seeing the seriousness on Lu Qing's face, Ma Gu's heart sank.
Knowing what happened in Liuyun Town, it must be extraordinary.
Otherwise, neither Lu Qing nor the old doctor would be so serious.
"Okay, then Master and I will go first!" Lu Qing stepped down and walked quickly down the mountain, "Xiao Li, protect Xiao Yan. If anyone dares to hurt her, kill them without mercy!"
"Mr. Lu..."
The chubby middle-aged man saw Lu Qing leave as soon as he said he would, and was about to call him to stop without understanding the situation at all, but was gently stopped by Ma Gu.
"Senior Xu, since my young master has something important to do, please don't disturb him. We can just wait here."
Ma Gu knew that something very serious must have happened in Liuyun Town to make Lu Qing and the old doctor so serious.
If they go with them, they will not only be unable to help, but will also be a hindrance.
"this……"
The chubby middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he saw that Ma Gu, who had always been very polite to him, suddenly became tough.
But he was not angry, instead he realized the seriousness of the matter.
He remembered that Lu Qing's expression became serious only after he climbed to the top of the tree. After thinking about it, the blood in his body surged and he also jumped up the tree.
"What is that?"
The chubby middle-aged man looked towards Liuyun Town and saw the gray light curtain, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
He had never seen such a strange and mysterious scene before.
"Also, that's... Doctor Chen and Young Master Lu?"
After the exclamation, the fat middle-aged man's attention was attracted by another thing.
I saw two figures heading towards Liuyun Town.
One of them was galloping through the mountains and forests. Judging from the color of his clothes, it was Lu Qing.
Another figure was floating above the treetops, with his feet just above the treetops. With a light tap, he could cross a distance of more than ten feet, like a god.
Who else could it be if not Doctor Chen?
"It's like he's riding the wind. With such miraculous movements, could it be that Doctor Chen is..."
The chubby middle-aged man looked at this scene with his eyes wide open and muttered.
…
"Master, this evil formation is too wide. If we want to break it by force, I'm afraid it's beyond the capability of the two of us. So we can only break it by trickery."
In the forest, Lu Qing shouted as he ran back and forth.
"When we get to the front of the formation, you will first attack the gray light curtain with your sword energy. Let the disciples observe the direction of the formation's power flow and find the formation's nodes. As long as the nodes are broken, the formation will automatically break."
"Okay!" the old doctor nodded in response.
He held the long sword that Lu Qing had just brought him in his hand, his eyes sharp.
The master and disciple quickly approached Liuyun Town, and when they were less than a mile away from the town.
Suddenly, I felt a powerful momentum rising into the sky in front of me, rushing towards Liuyun Town at a high speed.
"A strong person in the Xiantian realm?"
Lu Qing and the old doctor were both startled and looked forward intently.
At this moment, they were all out of the forest, and there were not many obstacles between them and Liuyun Town.
Just then, I saw a figure in front of Liuyun Town, exuding a powerful aura, swinging the sword in his hand forward, and a red sword energy suddenly slashed out and flew towards the gray light curtain.
Just as he was about to strike the light curtain, unexpectedly, a white energy suddenly flew out from the light curtain and met the sword energy.
boom!
The white energy and the red sword energy collided, causing a powerful energy explosion, but in the end, it only caused the gray light curtain to shake a few times and was not damaged at all.
"Yan Tianhua, you really are hiding in the dark, following your Silver Moon Sect's disciples."
As the energy disappeared, a figure in a black robe and holding a long stick walked out from the gray light curtain, looked at the man with the sword, and smiled coldly.
"Mo Hu, it's you!"
The sword-wielding man's face darkened when he saw the figure in the black robe.
"Another Xiantian realm master!" Lu Qing and the old doctor were slightly surprised again.
"Yes, it's me." The figure in the black robe said proudly.
"Mo Hu, you from the Liuyun Sect, how dare you set up such a vicious magic formation here to harm your fellow practitioners? Aren't you afraid that the Holy Mountain will punish you and completely wipe out your Liuyun Sect?" the sword-wielding man shouted sternly.
"Holy mountain?"
However, when the black-robed figure heard this, he burst into laughter as if he had heard a huge joke.
“Now that the changes in the world have come, all the major sects are waiting for the opportunity to seek benefits for themselves, and the demons are also ready to make a move, wanting to take over Jiuzhou again.
Zhongzhou alone is enough to overwhelm the Holy Mountain, so how can it have the energy to care about the affairs of our Yunzhou?
Besides, after today, my brother and I will be reborn and our strength will increase greatly. By then, even the Holy Mountain will not be able to do anything to us!"
"You brothers are all crazy indeed. In order to improve your strength, you resort to evil methods and kill lives. You even spare no effort on your own disciples. You are simply insane!" The man with the sword had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense. Winners take all. Everything in this world is fake. Only strength is real.
Yan Tianhua, you came at the right time. I thought that this time I could only harvest a group of wronged souls in the acquired realm.
Unexpectedly, there is still a chance to obtain a wronged soul in the Xiantian realm.
If we can refine you, our magic weapon will surely become more powerful!"
The figure in the black robe swung the long stick in his hand and rushed directly towards the man with the sword.
"What!"
Seeing the long stick coming, the man with the sword swung his sword to block it, but the next moment, his face changed drastically.
I only felt the force of the long stick, like an overwhelming tidal wave.
With his strength, he was completely unable to resist and was directly blown away.
