Because the Divine Tortoise of Light had been sleeping here for so long, its shell was covered with rocks and dust, making it impossible to see its original appearance.
Ruan Xiyan did not rush forward; the journey had been unusually smooth.
If it were really that easy to reach the Light Turtle, so many people wouldn't have come and never returned.
Ruan Xiyan's gaze suddenly fell upon the piles of withered bones all around her.
There are more skeletons here than all the skeletons along the way combined.
Ruan Xiyan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they had turned into a pair of blood-red pupils.
Her blood-red eyes scanned everything around her.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the Radiant Tortoise in front of him, which resembled a small mountain.
Ruan Xiyan conjured the Frostfall Sword in her hand, gathered her power, and slashed at a boulder attached to the Light Tortoise.
The boulder, which had been lifeless, suddenly began to move.
The boulder continued to gather surrounding rubble, eventually transforming into a giant stone python.
At the same time, a black shadow appeared on the ground, and the shadow stood up.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiyan narrowed her eyes and manipulated the shadows to fight. She had only seen sorcerers use this method before.
Could it be that there are sorcerers in this holy place?
This shadow was very solid, completely different from the shadow summoned by the sorcerer she had seen before.
Its power also seems to be much stronger. The key is that this shadow is no longer an illusory black mass, but has human facial features.
The shadow sorcerer looked at Ruan Xiyan in front of him and let out a hoarse laugh.
"I never expected that those fools in the Western Regions Brahma Kingdom royal family are still alive. They still insist on sending people into the holy land in an attempt to awaken the Divine Tortoise of Light. It's ridiculous."
"With my great sorcerer Buxinrui here, I will kill as many people as come."
"Are those idiots so desperate that they sent some tiny, yellow-haired girl this time?"
"Buxinrui? You're the sorcerer who cast spells on the inner city and the royal palace? You're still alive?!" Ruan Xiyan's voice was sharp.
However, looking at his current appearance, Ruan Xiyan shook her head and said, "No! This is not your true form. Although this shadow looks very human, it does not have the life force of a living person."
“This little girl knows quite a lot,” Bu Xinrui sneered. “If she hadn’t been driven to a dead end by those royal guys…”
"How could I have become such a ghost, only able to cling to a shadow with a remnant consciousness, hiding in this holy land, never to see the light of day again?"
"But this is for the best. If those guys from the Western Regions' Brahma Kingdom won't let me have an easy time, I certainly won't let them have an easy time either."
"They want to awaken the Light Tortoise? Dream on! As long as I'm here, they won't succeed!" Buxinrui's face twisted into a ferocious grin.
Ruan Xiyan's expression hardened. She remembered Wu Xie saying that he had sacrificed his flesh and soul, which was why the forbidden spell had become so powerful and difficult to break.
Even after all this, he's still not completely dead, and he managed to appear in the Holy Land in this way.
As expected, the sorcerer was extremely strange and exuded an evil aura.
No wonder the royal family of the Western Regions was so wary of them when they caused trouble in the Western Regions, and went to great lengths to suppress them.
Although there are still sorcerers in the Western Regions' Brahma Kingdom, they are now extremely rare.
Most sorcerers keep a low profile and don't cause much trouble.
Furthermore, some sorcerers use sorcery to help others.
Therefore, the royal family of the Western Regions Brahma Kingdom did not exterminate them, but only eliminated the rampant group of sorcerers who were the ringleaders of the evil deeds.
“Little girl, once you enter the Holy Land, you won’t be an exception. Just obediently accept your death.” Bu Xinrui waved his black scepter.
He controlled the enormous stone python to attack Ruan Xiyan.
The long python tail lashed out at Ruan Xiyan, who was standing, but she flipped over and dodged it.
She swung her Frostfall Sword, striking several times.
Rock fragments were falling from the giant boa constrictor's body with a crackling sound.
The giant boa constrictor angrily lashed out with its tail.
Ruan Xiyan dodged nimbly, avoiding each attack perfectly.
The giant boulder python shook up pieces of rock from the ground, which shot towards Ruan Xiyan.
Countless ice spikes materialized in Ruan Xiyan's hand.
The icicles collided with the rubble, shattering into pieces in mid-air.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ruan Xiyan flew directly to the top of the giant rock python's head.
The giant boulder thrashed its heavy body, trying to shake Ruan Xiyan off its head.
How could Ruan Xiyan possibly give it such an opportunity?
He thrust the Frostfall Sword in his hand fiercely towards the top of the giant stone python's head.
With a flick of her wrist, the Frostfall Sword in her hand shattered the giant stone python's head to pieces.
The giant boa constrictor's body, pieced together from stones, began to crack, and the stones fell off one by one to the ground, eventually turning into a pile of rubble.
There was no sign of panic on Bu Xinrui's face.
He is a sorcerer; if that were all he was capable of, how could he have turned the Western Regions' Brahma Kingdom upside down?
Even though he is dead, his power is beyond what ordinary humans can handle.
He just hadn't expected that the young girl they sent this time would be quite capable.
She was actually able to shatter the giant boulder python; no wonder they sent her to the holy land.
“You have some strength, but it’s far from enough!” Bu Xinrui looked at Ruan Xiyan. “Since you can deal with one giant rock python, what if it were two, three, or even four?”
As Bu Xinrui finished speaking, all the surrounding rock fragments gathered together, forming a swirling rock storm in the center.
Once the storm subsided, four identical, enormous stone pythons came into view.
Four giant stone pythons surrounded Ruan Xiyan. Faced with the towering giant stone pythons, Ruan Xiyan was as insignificant as an ant that they could crush at will.
"So what if they're four big guys! They're just some mindless inanimate objects." Ruan Xiyan's eyes showed no fear, but were instead filled with intense fighting spirit.
Four giant stone pythons attacked Ruan Xiyan simultaneously.
Ruan Xiyan blocked all four tails that swept towards her with her Frostfall Sword.
At the same time, he used his mental power to control the ice spikes that he conjured, aiming them at the giant rock pythons.
With each ice spike attack, the affected area on the giant stone python would be covered with a layer of frost.
The frost gradually transformed into the shape of a frost flower.
The frost flowers suddenly burst open, causing the giant stone pythons to be repeatedly shaken back several steps.
Bu Xinrui's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when he saw the person weaving back and forth among the four giant stone pythons.
This human was incredibly agile; the giant boa constrictor's attacks couldn't harm her at all.
Four giant rock pythons were unable to harm her.
