Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 13 Why do close friends need to share the same roots?
Just as Mo Yi's dragon-slaying roar was piercing the air, Huai Lian moved at the same time as if they had telepathy. However, this time he did not go against Mo Yi, but followed closely behind him. With a "chi" sound, the last head of the thousand-year-old blood dragon that had merged into one was chopped off and flew away. However, everything was not over yet!
The body of the headless thousand-year-old blood dragon did not fall to the ground, but suddenly expanded rapidly, getting bigger and bigger. Although the huge body had no head, it still twisted violently, like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, blowing up countless flying sand and rocks, sweeping violently across the fields, and the severed head was constantly gushing out countless blood and essence, spreading in all directions like a blood rain, and suddenly the whole field was filled with a fishy stench!
Wherever that blood essence sprayed, flowers, plants, and trees instantly turned to charcoal! Even wisps of pungent smoke rose from it! Such a strong corrosiveness!
At this time, the horns on the top of the head of the Purple Cloud Beast, which had originally soared into the air, suddenly emitted a purple light. The light was reflected on the belly of the headless thousand-year-old blood dragon, and actually made a vague circular hole in the belly of the blood dragon. The Purple Cloud Beast let out a long roar, and suddenly jumped up with Gong Lili on its back, and went directly into the belly of the thousand-year-old blood dragon through the hole, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant!
"Li Li!" Mo Yi didn't know what the Purple Cloud Beast was trying to do. He was extremely worried about Gong Lili's safety. He jumped up with a knife in hand and was about to follow. At this moment, the headless thousand-year-old blood dragon suddenly stiffened. Then, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and the headless thousand-year-old blood dragon slid and drilled directly into the ground with a shocking force!
What was surprising was that after the thousand-year-old blood dragon disappeared completely underground, the ground magically closed up again, as if nothing had happened just now, and it was as if Gong Lili and the Purple Cloud Beast had disappeared out of thin air!
Earth escape technique?! This thing can also use the earth escape technique? It looks like it's hiding underground. What should we do?
Mo Yi slammed the Dragon Slaying Roar in his hand into the ground fiercely, almost creating a huge deep pit on the ground beneath his feet. Immediately, gravel flew everywhere, but no trace of the thousand-year-old blood dragon was found!
At this moment, a clear child's voice was heard yelling, "You old bastard, let me go! Let me go! I want to save Sister Lili!"
It was a hushed voice. Mo Yi subconsciously looked up and saw Wei Xingying holding Zeze's collar with one hand and clasping his hands with the other. "You little brat, you're courting death! How many times have I told you not to use spiritual energy in this 'Xuan Mo Fuxi Formation'?"
Mo Yi then remembered that Zeze also knew the art of earth escape, but Zeze was different from the thousand-year-old blood dragon. They were just ordinary humans. If they wanted to use the art of earth escape, they would have to use their spiritual power. Then, this "Xuanmo Fuxi Formation" would inevitably be activated, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this 'Xuan Mo Fuxi Formation', Mo Yi's gaze immediately fell on Huai Lian. His handsome brows knitted slightly, and the blade of the Dragon Slashing Yin in his hand shifted imperceptibly. As if seeing through Mo Yi's thoughts, Qing Luan quickly stepped forward and blocked his way, silently separating Mo Yi and Huai Lian. Then, with a slight nod to Huai Lian, she said to him pointedly, "Huai Lian, let's not mince words. As the chief disciple of the Master of Yunshui Pavilion in Wuji Immortal Palace, you should know how to temporarily suppress this 'Xuan Mo Fuxi Formation', right?"
Only then did everyone realize that Qingluan also knew Huai Lian and could actually tell him his identity. When Huai Lian saw Qingluan, he was only slightly startled and did not look particularly surprised. Moreover, he did not have the hostility that those disciples of the Wuji Immortal Palace had shown before. He pointed casually, and the giant sword that was originally floating in the air suddenly returned to the sword case behind him. He looked at Qingluan with a cold and reserved look: "What exactly are you doing here?"
"If possible, we don't want to be enemies with your Wuji Immortal Palace at this moment." Qingluan did not answer his question directly, but stated her own position frankly. However, she was worried about the safety of Ying Lili, and was too lazy to talk too much nonsense with Huai Lian: "We will give you an explanation about what you want to know later, but saving people is the most important thing now! You saw the situation just now. Our companion was taken underground by the thousand-year-old blood dragon! We must use the earth escape technique to bring her out, but in this "Xuanmo Fuxi Formation", except for your Wuji Immortal Palace people, no one dares to use spiritual power. I know that you must have a way to suppress this "Xuanmo Fuxi Formation", so..." Qingluan stopped there wisely.
Huai Lian calmly glanced at the anxious young man in blue clothes beside him. The feeling of mutual admiration from earlier seemed to still resonate in his heart. In his thousand-plus years of life, this was the first time he had encountered such a young man who impressed him so deeply. He felt a strong desire to make friends. Besides, he still owed this man a favor. If the young man hadn't intervened in time, he wouldn't be standing here unscathed. Although this was against his master's orders, Huai Lian was not an unkind person. Repaying kindness with enmity was not his style. Furthermore, his intuition told him that it would be best for this young man in blue clothes to become his friend.
Moreover, seeing how frank Qingluan was, they should not be unforgivable criminals.
Thinking of this, Huai Lian turned around and looked at Mo Yi with a serious expression: "Remember what you just said. When you rescue your companion, you must give me a reasonable explanation."
Mo Yi was concerned about Ying Lili at the moment, so he didn't care about so many things. No matter what Huai Lian said, he had no objection. Seeing that the young man in blue clothes nodded cautiously, Huai Lian did not hesitate. A divine light flashed in his eyes, and his hands quickly moved in front of his chest, bringing out a phantom. A water-wave-like light vaguely floated out from his hands and gradually enveloped everyone. Then, Huai Lian took out a few paper talismans from his arms, raised his hands like a butterfly, and in the blink of an eye, he stuck the paper talismans on everyone. He only heard him muttering the method of using it. His voice was as light as a mosquito's whistle, but Qing Luan heard it carefully.
Qingluan whispered, "Escape Talisman?"
Huai Lian glanced at her with an expression that said, "You still have some knowledge."
Not long after, everyone felt that the paper talisman stuck on their bodies gradually emanated a strange Taoist power. Suddenly, several clear airs appeared before their eyes like spirit snakes entwining and circling. Then they felt their bodies lighten as if wrapped in a warm current. The oppressive feeling brought by the "Xuan Mo Fuxi Formation" suddenly disappeared. They felt indescribably comfortable all over their bodies, as if they had merged into one with the "Xuan Mo Fuxi Formation".
"Okay! Let's go!" Huai Lian turned around and looked at Mo Yi calmly. Mo Yi looked back at him in surprise. Could it be that he was planning to go with them to rescue people?
"Your companion was in danger because of me, so I should do my best to help him." Huai Lian's gentlemanly and open-minded appearance made Mo Yi look at him favorably again.
Without hesitation, everyone followed Zeze and disappeared into the ground where the thousand-year-old blood dragon had just disappeared...
When Ying Lili was carried by the Purple Cloud Beast directly into the belly of the Millennium Blood Dragon, she felt waves of unpleasant stench coming towards her, almost suffocating her. At this time, she could only feel the Millennium Blood Dragon's body twisting violently. This feeling was similar to the scene when Ying Lili had drilled into the belly of the Millennium Snake Demon under the underground of Yonghui City. The only difference was that she was forced to do so before, but this time she came in on her own initiative. She didn't know what the Purple Cloud Beast meant by this action: "Ahem... Pingping, what are we going to do?"
Although she knew that the Purple Cloud Beast would never harm her, such behavior was a bit strange.
"The fatal weakness of this thousand-year-old blood dragon is not in its head, but in its belly!" The voice of the Purple Cloud Beast sounded a little different at this time. Perhaps it was because of evolution. Ying Lili always felt that its voice had gradually become like that of a teenager with a changed voice. She patted its head with relief, thinking that if it continued like this, it might not take long before it could return to the peak state of a ninth-level monster.
"So what should we do now?" Gong Lili tried his best to adjust his breathing and lay tightly on the back of the Purple Cloud Beast, watching the huge body of the Purple Cloud Beast quickly shuttle through the belly of the thousand-year-old blood dragon dripping with filthy acid, as if looking for something.
Although the body of the Purple Cloud Beast was much larger than before, it was extremely agile. It passed by her without even getting a drop of acid on its body.
"We monsters all have inner cores, but this thousand-year-old blood dragon's is extremely special. Not only does it contain its millennia of cultivation, but most importantly, it has been immersed in the blood sea refining pool for over a thousand years. It has an extremely strong evil spirit, and its inner core is a great tool for dispelling evil and avoiding danger. It can even conceal the evil spirit and spiritual power around it. Don't you find it strange that even we dare not easily use our spiritual power in this 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation', but this thousand-year-old blood dragon is able to run rampant!"
After hearing what the Purple Cloud Beast said, Gong Lili just remembered her doubts. Yes, before, even Mo Yi had to restrain all his spiritual power and dared not use it at all, but this thing seemed to be unaffected at all. She also felt strange, but did not expect it to be this reason. In this way, the inner elixir of the thousand-year-old blood dragon is actually the magic weapon to deal with this "Xuanmo Fuxi Formation".
It was thanks to the Purple Cloud Beast's extensive knowledge and experience. But then again, since this thousand-year-old blood dragon was also a demon beast, and the Purple Cloud Beast was the king of demon beasts, why wasn't that creature afraid of the Purple Cloud Beast at all? It even ignored it?
"Ahem, Pingping, isn't this thousand-year-old blood dragon of the same species as you? Why doesn't it even give you face?" Gong Lili couldn't hold back her words after all. As soon as she thought of this, the words came out of her mouth. In fact, what she really wanted to ask was why the thousand-year-old blood dragon didn't tremble when it saw the purple cloud beast. Could it be that it was really a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog?
"It's been tamed," the Purple Cloud Beast replied succinctly. So, the question returned. If it was tamed, then this thousand-year-old blood dragon must be the same as the paper man before, both deliberately released. So, who was the person behind this? Why did they want Huai Lian to die?
