Chapter 259: Fighting at the drop of a hat
The crowd cheered. They were all afraid of losing the bet, but they also didn't want to win. Now that the betting table was overturned, it was best not to have to gamble anymore.
"Haha, I underestimated you. I didn't expect that a teenage girl like you could learn the way of space, and even grow to the point of space breakthrough while chatting and laughing. But since you have chosen to be together, then both of you should die."
The mysterious voice carried a hint of anger, and then everyone felt that the hall darkened for a moment, and then there were crackling sounds, and the eighteen statues came to life.
Each statue raised its head, its eyes glowing red, and it stepped off the stone platform, waving its weapons and walking towards the crowd step by step.
The ground was shaking continuously. People wanted to escape but were trapped in the formation and unable to move.
Some began to bang on the formation walls impatiently, while others shouted, "Junior sister, break the formation quickly!"
Zhong Ling'er's heart sank. These formations were similar to the ones she had seen in the dragon veins of Nanzhou. They should be formations from the fairyland. She could find some patterns by slowly exploring, but she could not break the formations quickly.
"Don't run around. Those who can set up a sword formation should stand in front."
Zhong Ling'er only had time to say these words before a strong wind blew towards her. She immediately threw herself forward, only to hit the wall of the formation with a bang. Ignoring the pain, Zhong Ling'er immediately used space magic to teleport behind the stone statue.
Zhou Yizhuo soared into the air, with a red sun rising above the tip of his sword. The scorching flame, with the power to burn the sky, chopped down on the stone statue. The stone statue seemed to feel the power of this move, and raised the stone sword in its hand to block this powerful blow.
Zhou Yizhuo's wrist was numb from the shock and he immediately stepped back. Zhong Ling'er took the opportunity to pull the two people who had just been frightened away and quickly left their battle circle.
There was a notch in the stone sword, and the stone statue seemed to be very distressed. It waved at Zhou Yizhuo, and powerful spiritual power roared in, forming a terrifying spiritual storm in the narrow space. Everyone was blown left and right, and the skin exposed outside the clothes was like being scraped by a knife, leaving countless tiny wounds.
Zhou Yizhuo's eyes were fierce and murderous intent surged. He swung the Moon-Slashing Sword fiercely. The sharp sword intent, the dazzling sword light, and the violent spiritual power poured out, colliding with the spiritual storm, erupting with a loud noise, causing the white palace to tremble violently twice.
On the other side, Ouyang Ruochen swung his sword across the sky, and a powerful white light broke through the sky. A cold breath spread from high in the sky, and bits of icicles fell from the air. The strong sense of oppression made people's breathing stagnate.
There was a chill in the brightness, and the strong breath was filled with unparalleled sword intent, like the sharpest thing in the world, able to cut through everything, including the huge stone knife in front of him.
"Clang!" After a deafening sound, a huge gap appeared in the middle of the stone knife, followed by dense cracks that spread, and the knife broke into two pieces.
"Since this weapon can cut things, then this statue can be smashed to pieces and kill them!"
Zhong Linger's face was tense and she was furious. Damn it! The mysterious man started fighting over a disagreement and caused many people to be injured. If she didn't smash all the stone statues today, she would kill him.
Just then, a female stone statue pounced over, and the weapon in her hand was actually a piece of silk. However, this silk was carved out of stone, and it was not flexible at all to use. It was very awkward. Zhong Ling'er was furious and made up her mind to start with her.
A sword light rushed upwards, and the colorful sword light a hundred feet high was like an indomitable warrior, roaring and striking upwards with all its might.
"boom!"
The silk tore into pieces, broken stones flew everywhere, and Zhong Ling'er teleported to the top of the female stone statue, stepped on her head, and stabbed her head with her sword.
A sudden pressure made Zhong Ling'er have difficulty breathing and she felt like all the air in her chest was being squeezed out.
The strength in his hand was removed, and Cang Yu only drew a white mark on the top of the female statue's head before falling down.
The feeling of suffocation made Zhong Ling'er lose her balance and she fell from the top of the stone statue. Qi Haoran, who was dodging, immediately jumped up and held Zhong Ling'er in his arms.
"Junior sister, are you okay?"
Xuanyuan Ying'er screamed loudly. She was trapped in another formation and couldn't get out. But when she saw Zhong Ling'er falling, she was scared to death.
"Hey, I'm fine."
Zhong Ling'er sat up and saw two monks fighting with the female stone statue, but neither of them had the upper hand. She could only think that they would not lose their lives for a while, so she flew into the air again and looked around.
There was a place where cultivators had formed the "Big Dipper Seven Killer" sword formation to deal with the situation. The eldest brother was protecting the cultivators in the larger formation, so it was not bad. The three stone statues did not pose a threat for the time being. There were also cultivators with high cultivation levels in formation in other places. Only in one corner, more than thirty weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators were fighting fiercely.
Needless to say, the poison pills of the alchemy practitioners have no effect on the stone statue, and the magic weapons of the weapon practitioners are also of little use in front of the powerful and hard stone statue, so they can only be beaten, and if they don't rescue, they will die.
But it is not easy to get through, as there are five formations in the middle. The key is that the formations are hard to understand, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
But Zhong Ling'er also discovered a problem. The stone statue could move freely in the formation, just like her jade talisman. As long as she held it, she could enter her formation.
No, it is impossible for this stone statue to have a jade talisman on its body. Rather, it should be said that the entire body of the stone statue is covered with "jade talismans".
Zhong Ling'er immediately came down and found a piece of freshly cut stone, took it and walked out of the formation, and passed through the wall of the formation without any hindrance. It seemed that she guessed right.
Zhong Linger immediately rushed to where Xuanyuan Hongzhi was, threw a stone at him and said, "Hurry up, go save those people over there, it's too late and someone will die. Leave this to your second brother."
After saying that, he didn't give Xuanyuan Hongzhi time to react and just pushed him. Xuanyuan Hongzhi was pushed out of the formation. He immediately reacted and swung his sword to save those alchemy cultivators and weapon cultivators.
Zhong Ling'er didn't dare to yell at everyone to be ruthless to the statue. The pressure just now made her afraid. She could only quietly pick up the broken stones on the ground and stuff them to Xuanyuan Bing'er beside her, "Take them and rush out to help Brother Xuanyuan."
Xuanyuan Bing'er nodded, then quietly dodged and rushed over.
Seeing Xuanyuan Hongyi fighting with a stone statue that looked like a strongman, Zhong Ling'er's brain started working. The eldest brother cut off the weapon of the stone statue, and he also broke the silk of the female stone statue. Xuanyuan Hongyi punched a dent in the chest of the strongman, but he was not attacked by the pressure. He was only stopped when he moved the stone statue's head.
Does this mean that the head of the statue cannot be touched, but what if it is touched?
Holding a handful of explosive talismans and purple thunder talismans in her hands, Zhong Ling'er suddenly made a move. A ribbon made of talismans wrapped around the neck of the stone statue of the strongman. Then Zhong Ling'er took out the mace and hit a home run on the strongman's knee.
"It's going to explode, get out of the way!"
