As the skull staff fell, countless souls slowly rose, as if opening the gates of the deepest hell, and surged toward Mu Xian.
"What the hell is this?" Mu Xian's expression changed drastically.
Before he could react, the dead souls controlled by Qiao Suinian engulfed him like a tidal wave, and Mu Xian disappeared in an instant.
Qiao Suinian was panting heavily. The combined power of so many dead souls in one attack was absolutely terrifying. If this attack couldn't seriously injure Mu Xian...
Just as these thoughts crossed my mind, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly shot out!
Countless dead souls were reduced to dust under this divine lightning, which was as powerful as the heavens. Mu Xian, his entire body crackling with lightning, walked out step by step, like a monarch amidst thunder.
Those dead souls were annihilated under the raging power of thunder.
"Your plan is good, but unfortunately, the gap in our strength is too great." Mu Xian said coldly, his eyes now filled with seriousness as he looked at Qiao Suinian, a trickle of blood slowly sliding down his forehead.
This was the first time he had been injured since he had achieved mastery of his innate spiritual body.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he completely overwhelmed Qiao Suinian in terms of strength; otherwise, he might have really been caught off guard and lost his way.
A look of despair appeared on Qiao Suinian's face. This Mu Xian was simply too strong to reason with. Even if she used all her trump cards, she couldn't do anything to him.
Faced with this guy, he experienced for the first time what it felt like to be helpless.
"From now on... I won't hold back at all!" A fierce glint flashed in Mu Xian's eyes, and endless lightning surged from his body. "Open the Heavens, Summon the Lightning!"
A magnificent gate appeared in the sky, and a bolt of lightning, like a giant dragon, descended from the sky and struck Qiao Suinian directly, giving him no chance to react.
Qiao Suinian was enveloped by lightning, and his flesh and blood instantly turned charred black.
Immediately following the second and third bolts of lightning, Qiao Suinian had no time to react. He was like a moth that had fallen into the water amidst the sea of lightning.
The lightning was all-pervasive, drilling directly into Qiao Suinian's body through his pores, relentlessly destroying his body. This terrifying damage was unbearable even for a corpse, so Mu Xian went all out to kill him.
Bolts of lightning descended from the sky, and Qiao Suinian's consciousness began to blur as the terrifying power of the lightning began to extinguish his life force.
Soon, the eighth bolt of lightning struck down, and Qiao Suinian was already on the verge of death. There was still one last bolt of lightning in the sky, the most terrifying ninth one!
Qiao Suinian's body was already emaciated, like a piece of charcoal that had been burned for a long time. He no longer had the strength to resist.
The ninth bolt of lightning in the sky hung high above like a death warrant from the King of Hell. Without uttering a word, Mu Xian unleashed the ninth lightning dragon, which instantly plunged down!
"Qiao Suinian!"
"Young man!"
Feng Zhizhao and Guan Yan, who were fighting among the alien races on the battlefield, panicked instantly upon seeing this. They tried to stop the ninth bolt of lightning from falling, but it was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. The ninth bolt of lightning rushed straight towards Qiao Suinian with unstoppable force.
Just as Qiao Suinian's life force was about to be extinguished by the lightning, a transparent Bagua formation suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the lightning.
"Hmm?" Mu Xian was somewhat surprised. He looked up and realized that a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and carrying an ancient sword had appeared behind Qiao Suinian at some point.
The Taoist priest frowned, as if he had encountered a problem he couldn't solve.
“Impossible… I foresaw the great calamity of the human race, and I also found the one who could save it. He obtained the corpse, dragon bones, heavenly fortune, and demonic energy. Why can’t this calamity be resolved?” Zhang Luochen murmured to himself, looking at Qiao Suinian, who had been struck by lightning and turned into charred remains, his eyes filled with incomprehension.
According to the divination, Qiao Suinian was supposed to become the one who could resolve the great calamity brought by Mu Xian after obtaining those opportunities. Why did it turn out like this?
Just as Zhang Luochen was deep in thought, the transparent Bagua in front of him made a cracking sound, and countless spider web-like cracks appeared on it!
"Not good!" Zhang Luochen's expression changed. He dared not hesitate any longer and grabbed Qiao Suinian to leave.
"Trying to run away?!" Mu Xian's eyes narrowed. He was naturally unwilling to let Qiao Suinian escape so easily. The ninth lightning dragon became even more violent, instantly shattering Zhang Luochen's Bagua Formation and directly slamming into Zhang Luochen.
Zhang Luochen groaned, his Taoist robe charred, but he didn't slow down at all, disappearing from the battlefield in a few flashes.
"Damn it!" Mu Xian was furious, his eyelids twitching wildly. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling. "Capture these people alive!"
Mu Xian issued orders to the alien army. Without Qiao Suinian and his undead army, and with the addition of Mu Xian's terrifying combat power on the other side, the entire battle situation instantly turned into a one-sided affair.
Meanwhile, Zhang Luochen carried the seriously injured Qiao Suinian and fled all the way, quickly escaping into a Taoist temple in the capital.
"puff!"
As soon as he stepped into the Taoist temple, Zhang Luochen couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He was only good at divination and not good at fighting. He had already done his best to hold off Mu Xian for that long.
He first set Qiao Suinian aside. Since Qiao Suinian was a corpse, there was no need to worry about him. As time went by, his injuries would heal on their own.
What Zhang Luochen needs to do now is to figure out the doubts in his heart.
Zhang Luochen took out several copper coins, lined them up, muttered some incantations, and then threw the coins on the ground.
His divination was very hasty, because the immortal Mu would not give them that much time, and now they could only keep things simple.
After the coins settled, Zhang Luochen looked at the divination results in silence for a moment, then a complex smile appeared on his face. He finally understood why the person who was supposed to resolve the calamity couldn't handle the great tribulation.
"So... am I, the diviner, also part of the divination? Was my saving him today also the will of Heaven?"
After saying that, Zhang Luochen put away the copper coins, strode up to Qiao Suinian, and slapped her twice across the face.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Qiao Suinian opened her eyes, somewhat bewildered, with a puzzled expression on her face: "I'm not dead?"
Qiao Suinian remembered that he was exhausted at the time, and facing the terrifying ninth lightning bolt, he thought he was going to die.
"Of course you're not dead, but if you don't find a way, you really will. When you obtained the dragon bones, weren't there nine coiled dragon stone pillars? Where are those dragon stone pillars?"
