Chapter 81

==================

Xie Tingyun looked intently at the direction of the formation under the wooden cross. He drew out the Chengfeng Sword and suddenly raised the sword to chop at one of the patterns.

The array pattern was destroyed by external force. Just for that one moment, Ning Chen could feel that the suction above his head had loosened a lot, and the rate at which the spiritual energy in his body was lost slowed down instantly.

"it works!"

It seems that the evil array on the wooden cross is specifically used to extract the vitality of the living, but where it will be injected after being extracted remains a mystery for the time being.

However, considering the Demon Lord's request, it is very likely to be used to provide for Tiannan.

Just in case, Ning Chen uncorked the bottle, swallowed all the tonic pills in his hand, and said, "Separate and look for the eye of the formation."

If this formation is destroyed, the Demon Lord will definitely sense it, so they must race against time.

However, a moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

The man's clothes fluttered, his long hair rose in the air, and his cold beast eyes stared at the people below without emotion, then he raised his hand.

Dark green vines as thick as bowls suddenly broke out of the ground and attacked everyone on the ground.

It is not difficult to avoid the sudden attack. Xie Tingyun looked up at the candle and suddenly said, "Demon Lord, you did this, have you ever thought about whether Tiannan is willing or not?"

The demon lord’s hand paused.

After a moment, he turned his hands behind his back with an expressionless face, and several more vines smashed towards Xie Tingyun. He did not answer Xie Tingyun's question, but only asked: "Holy Son of the Human Race, do you have anyone you want to keep?"

Xie Tingyun was silent for a moment and did not answer.

The sword Chengfeng shone with a bright light, and drew an arc in front of Xie Tingyun, cutting the vines in an instant.

Without waiting for Xie Tingyun to answer, Ming Cang lowered his eyes and said, "I know I have done many evil things. If the punishment from heaven falls on me, I will admit it. But what did Tiannan do wrong? You humans are full of greedy and selfish people. Why should Tiannan pay for it? Why can you treat other people's lives as nothing so easily?"

"I just learned their style." Ming Candle said, "It doesn't matter if I am cold-blooded or selfish, but please treat everyone equally, Holy Son of the Human Race, and punish your fellow human beings who have done wrong first."

Xie Tingyun said: "But I will not use other innocent people to replace his life."

"I can only say that there is a reason why you were chosen as the Holy Son of the human race." Ming Candle sighed, "Have you seen the look on his face when he was about to die? His soul was shattered and he was barely alive."

Ming Candle thought for a moment and counted them one by one: "The demon's aura is useless. One drop of the demon's heart blood can stabilize his soul for one day. If the demon's blood is drained, I won't die, but he will."

"The demon pill can stabilize a person's main soul and sea of ​​consciousness, but humans cannot absorb the demon pill. Even if I break the demon pill into pieces and erase the spiritual wisdom inside, he still cannot absorb it."

"My soul was torn into pieces even more delicate than his, but it still had little effect on Tiannan." Ming Cang said these words lightly, even with some regret: "It's useless. No matter how many earthly means you use, it's useless for a dying person."

Daoming was silent for a while, then whispered, "Then you can use evil magic to harm so many innocent people? All these retributions fall on Tiannan. Have you asked for his opinion?"

"It won't fall on Tiannan," Ming Cang said, "I can't, I shouldn't, I deserve to die, I deserve to be cast into hell, all the damnation will fall on me, I won't run away."

"If I can use my life to exchange for his, I certainly hope so. Unfortunately, there is no magic in the world that can exchange one life for another, and I can't just watch him die." Ming Cang lowered his eyes, looked at Daoming and Xie Tingyun and said, "I hope you can stick to your bottom line when you encounter such a dead end."

Ming Candle said politely, "As for me... I am selfish and only care about my own interests. I don't hesitate to harm lives and don't care about the wishes of others. I have been an animal for nearly a thousand lifetimes, and the punishment I deserve has been imposed on me. I can't survive, and I won't be at peace before or after death. Please rest assured."

“…”

Ming Cang's attitude was beyond their expectations, and everyone was speechless for a moment.

But at this moment, Ming Candle suddenly paused, and his expression changed for some unknown reason.

He turned around suddenly, as if he wanted to rush back, but Xie Tingyun would never let the candle leave so easily. He raised his hand and threw Chengfeng out, entangled the candle with him.

The Candle Beast's pupils shrank into a thin line: "You can't stop me."

Daoming and others also attacked: "Demon Lord, the Silent Realm is not the basis for you to do whatever you want."

The Nightmare Evil Array focuses on the soul, so this evil array is most effective against those with strong cultivation. No matter how many Mahayana cultivators come this time, they will all have to endure the damage projected on the soul in the end.

However, apart from the Nightmare Evil Array, when force is needed, their advantage in numbers will come into play.

Although the Demon Lord's cultivation level is higher than that of ordinary people, Xie Tingyun and the other senior Mahayana elders are not pushovers either.

Ming Candle was obviously irritated.

The ubiquitous vines instantly stabbed at everyone, and the Demon Lord produced a dragon bone whip in his hand, lashing it fiercely and sharply in the direction of Xie Tingyun.

The dragon bone whip had protruding bone spurs on it that were extremely sharp, but the entire dragon bone whip was unusually flexible. Being whipped by the dragon bone whip would cause torn skin and shattered bones at the least!

Chengfeng stood in front of him, tightly entangled by the dragon bone whip, and the bone spurs made sharp and piercing sounds on the sword.

Xie Tingyun and several other Mahayana masters flew up to stop the Demon Lord. Now it seems that they can still hold on. Ning Chen below does not need any reminder. As soon as the Demon Lord's face changed, he started to rush in the direction the Demon Lord wanted to go.

Ming Candle stared at Ning Chen who was quickly leaving the battlefield and said coldly, "Get out!"

Vines that were almost as big as an adult's arm grew out from all sides of Ning Chen like crazy, and when they were surrounded, they were almost able to wrap up Ning Chen completely.

However, Ning Chen sneered and ignored him, nimbly dodging the vines' entanglement and attacks.

Of course, just dodging was not enough. Ning Chen only then regretted not equipping himself with some weapons for this vest. Unarmed, Ning Chen had no way of breaking through the siege of vines.

Ning Chen raised his head and said, "Can anyone give me some weapons?!"

Xie Tingyun was the main force restraining Ming Candle and was bearing Ming Candle's most intense attack. He really couldn't spare a hand to help Ning Chen. Fortunately, Kong Ling, who was outside, heard the situation and took out his storage ring and threw it to Ning Chen, shouting, "I don't know what you are using, take it yourself."

The storage ring flew towards Ning Chen with great precision and speed. It seemed that Kong Ling was very skilled and experienced in throwing the storage ring, and he could even dodge the vines that suddenly appeared in the air.

The storage ring fell precisely into Ning Chen's hands. Kong Ling must have opened the access privileges temporarily. Ning Chen didn't have time to look at it so much, so he just casually took out a sword from it.

It stands to reason that Ning Chen, with his body at the Jindan stage, would not be able to stop Ming Candle's vines.

But who could have caused Mingzhu to be blocked by Xie Tingyun and other Mahayana masters and unable to extricate himself?

Xie Tingyun's cultivation was personally verified by Demon Lord Tianxiao. Even though he was still at the Mahayana stage on the surface, he had actually already stepped halfway into the Nirvana realm. The only difference was whether Xie Tingyun was willing to advance now.

The Mahayana practitioners from other sects also cultivated themselves bit by bit, and their cultivation and strength were pure and without any adulteration, so even if the Demon Lord was very angry, he would not be able to catch up in a short time.

Most of Xie Tingyun's body was entangled by thorny vines, and even the hand holding the sword was severely restricted.

The spiritual power of the Chengfeng Sword was released, and it split the thorns with great difficulty. Xie Tingyun took advantage of this small gap and said in a loud voice: "Kongling, go help him."

Kong Ling was used to being the one giving orders in his own sect, but he was suddenly given such an order, and it was from Xie Tingyun, whom he had disliked for a long time, so he naturally felt a little unhappy.

However, what Xie Tingyun said was the truth. There was not much difference between one more or one less here. The Jindan stage disciple brought out by Xie Tingyun was quite smart. He knew that his cultivation was not enough, so he broke away at the first opportunity. It seemed that he was going to find trouble.

While Kong Ling was rushing towards Ning Shen, he undeniably admitted that Xie Tingyun was right.

Ning Chen raised his sword and cut through piles of vines, rushing out from the encirclement. Kong Ling rushed over from behind and directly pulled Ning Chen onto his flying sword, saying, "Get on."

Although Ning Chen had a very bad impression of this guy, this was obviously not the time to take revenge. Also, since Ning Chen had beaten him up personally before and had already vented his anger once, he had no reason to show any displeasure.

Ning Chen said: "Look for Tiannan."

The only person who could make Ming Cang's face change with concern was Tiannan. Something must have happened to Tiannan just now, so Ming Cang wanted to rush back regardless of everything.

The entire evil formation here was set up for Tiannan alone. The evil formation that absorbs vitality is the center of the formation, and the evil formation of nightmare is the center of the formation. Ning Chen wants to give it a try.

It is possible that the locations of these two array eyes are related to Tiannan.

It can only be closely related to Tiannan.

As the two of them moved away, Ming Candle's reaction became more intense.

He was entangled tightly, but he was still moving towards peace by exchanging injuries for injuries.

What's worse is that Xie Tingyun discovered that Mingzhu's injuries recovered abnormally quickly, and as the evil formation that absorbed vitality continued to operate silently, the speed at which their spiritual power was consumed also increased.

It was as if the spiritual power and vitality in their bodies were sucked dry and then fed back to the Demon Lord Ming Cang.

It is known that the evil formation that can absorb the vitality of the human body can save Tiannan. Mingzhu is the controller of this evil formation. Mingzhu just vowed that all the punishment from heaven will fall on him and will not harm Tiannan at all.

In a flash, Xie Tingyun finally figured it out.

No wonder Ming Candle said that it would not fall on Tiannan. It was Ming Candle who killed innocent people with the evil array, sucked their bodies dry and devoured them completely. The nutrients converted were also supplied to people by Ming Candle, and finally provided to Tiannan by Ming Candle. Naturally, the resentful ghost only recognized Ming Candle as the person he hated!

Ning Chen observed the terrain while dodging the attacks of the vines.

At some point, the vines went crazy, coming in waves, and Kong Ling was having a hard time resisting them.

Ning Chen returned the storage ring to him, and the vines underneath suddenly went crazy, covering the two of them like a giant.

Those vines all have sharp thorns on them, and once you are pierced by them, your spiritual energy will be continuously sucked away.

Mingzhu himself was besieged by many Mahayana monks, but he was still able to protect himself and focus most of his energy on stopping Ning Chen.

Ming Candle whipped over fiercely. Daoming threw out his magic weapon to block it for a moment, but was then easily avoided by Xie Tingyun.

"Holy Son of the Human Race, you care a lot about that Jindan Stage."

Ming Cang's patience was obviously limited. He said coldly, "When this formation is completely completed, Tiannan will be able to recover. If you withdraw now, I will not fight you to the death."

Ming Candle pulled away, pulling a little distance from the siege, pointed the dragon bone whip at Ning Chen, and said to Xie Tingyun: "I am already a dying man, Holy Son, you can stop me, but you can't stop who I want to die with."

Xie Tingyun's pupils shrank slightly.

Ming Cang stared at Xie Tingyun for a long while, then suddenly laughed: "You have."

You have people you care about, and you have people you want to protect.

“…”

Ming Candle shook his head and said, "Holy Son of the Human Race, I have said before that I don't want you to experience that kind of dead end and despair."

"But if you insist on stopping me, I can only do this."

Ning Chen raised his sword and cut countless vines, and his body was inevitably splashed with sticky green blood.

Ning Chen was so confused after hearing what Ming Cang said that he didn't roll his eyes at him. After thinking about it, he decided not to bother with this lunatic, so he shouted upwards: "Brother, ignore him, help me stop him, I'll go find the eye of the formation."

It's so funny. Do you really think he is a sick cat in the Jindan stage?

They were both in the state of silence, but Ning Chen didn't believe that he could really cause any trouble.
