Youbao Chapter 67: Nine Dragons Seize the Treasure (9)
But here...
Don’t worry, I will start in forty minutes and will give you enough time, said the old Taoist priest.
Forty minutes... I calculated that if the limit is one hour, then there are still twenty minutes left.
I have no idea if twenty minutes will be enough to escape from the Pearl Peak and get rid of the four families' pursuit. Moreover, one hour is just my guess, because the detection function of the Tongming Jade can last for a longer period of time each time it is used. Now that I have the power of Taoism, it should be no problem to maintain it for an hour.
The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and rested. The enemies outside searched everywhere but to no avail. After some discussion, they left the three old men of the Zhou family to guard the passage and then went away.
With the strength of the three old men of the Zhou family, it should be no problem to defeat the old Taoist priest in his prime. But now it is hard to say, so I am very worried about the old Taoist priest's future plans.
During those forty minutes, I even thought about abandoning him and leaving on my own, because time was passing by, and every second we stayed here was equivalent to wasting one more second.
With such a long time, let alone Mount Everest, even running out of Jiuqiao Linglong Mountain would not be a problem.
Forty minutes later, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
How is it? I asked.
Using the Blood Spirit Pill to stimulate potential, I can barely recover 60% of my strength, said the old Taoist priest.
Stimulate potential? What does that mean?
According to the secular saying, it is just to shorten one’s life span. The old Taoist said indifferently, as if he was saying that we should put less vermicelli in the duck blood vermicelli soup for lunch today.
Do this...
For a practitioner, it is not difficult to prolong life without being punished by heaven. Losing some life in exchange for fulfilling one's wish is also in line with my heart. The Five Elements Avenue conforms to nature. Only by following one's heart can one keep moving forward. The old Taoist said.
I knew I couldn't win the argument, so I asked: Where are we going now? What are you going to do?
Go forward, cross the formation, and see what they are doing. If Gamu is there, wait until I kill him and destroy the things related to the Earth Nourishing Corpse Pill, and then you can rescue me. The old Taoist said.
This plan was too simple, or even ridiculous. With so many people in the formation, there must be someone who was responsible for causing trouble. The old Taoist priest went deep into the enemy's most critical position, and once he showed up, he would definitely be hit the hardest.
Whether I could kill Gamu in time at that time was a question, and whether I could save his life after killing him was also a question.
However, the old Taoist priest was determined. He pulled me forward, and we went straight over the corner, through the walking corpses in the large formation, the heavenly corpses, and the disciples of various sects kept moving forward.
I don't know where the Qingfu Heaven Corpse and the top copper armored corpse of the Wei family are hiding. This is the most intimidating enemy. Moreover, I saw the Zhou family's clan elders and a group of old people standing together from a distance. They are not far from the center of the formation. I think that group is the top figures of the four families.
If only I had a grenade at this moment, I thought.
After passing the outer perimeter of the formation, I saw the center of the formation was as dark as ink. It was the raging resentment of the Nine Dragons, which now transformed into dragon shapes and kept moving. I reached out to touch it, but it was empty.
As he got closer and closer to the center of the formation, a faint golden light penetrated the black dragon energy and came into his eyes.
A sword that was emitting golden light was floating in the air, and a figure was sitting cross-legged below. When we passed by, we saw that he was a young man. I asked the old Taoist: Is he the man from the ancient battlefield of Changping?
The old Taoist glanced at him: It doesn’t matter, there is no difference whether it is yes or no.
When I walked to the position closest to the center of the formation, I found that the Demon-Subduing Sword was at the top, covering the entire space with a golden light that could ward off evil. The faint golden light flowed like water, and the Nine Dragons' resentment could only flow under it, and then be extracted bit by bit by the formation.
If there was no Demon-Subduing Sword to suppress it, the Nine Dragons would leave Baofeng and immediately transform into real dragons, which would be a disaster.
At this time, I saw a platform ahead.
It was a square, ordinary stone platform. On it were six stones placed from left to right, four of which were oval, and the other two were oddly shaped, and I couldn't tell what they looked like.
In front of the stone platform, there were many strange things, like gold and wood, each carved into the shape of a talisman, with various colors of light flashing constantly. The resentment of the Nine Dragons was constantly injected into the strange talismans around the stone platform. Then it was reflected by the talismans and injected into the stone platform and the six stones on it.
There was no one in front or behind the platform. I thought Gamu should be in charge here, but I guessed wrong. The three veins of the heavenly corpse stayed with the Zhou family, and there was no trace of Gamu there either.
Where is he hiding? I asked.
I don't know. The old Taoist shook his head and looked at the stone platform in the center of the formation: This is the center of the entire formation. The continuous injection of Nine Dragons' resentment will definitely yield something. Gamu and the three veins of the sky corpse have been arranged for so long, they will definitely appear.
So we just wait here?
The old Taoist priest hummed and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
I counted the time beside him, and it was less than fifteen minutes to an hour. According to our previous plan, we should have left at this time.
The Nine Dragons' resentment was as black as ink, with a chilling and chilling aura. The four white-feathered corpses were closest to the platform. Even such powerful corpses were still surrounded by resentment. From time to time, some strange insect-like things could be seen being ejected from their bodies and shattered. They were ghost insects born from resentment, which could corrode everything.
We waited for a few more minutes, and then the three Tianshi veins and the Zhou family suddenly moved forward quickly . I heard someone shout: It's done, it's done!
When they were less than ten meters away from the platform, two figures rushed out from underground one after another and ran forward quickly. I saw at a glance that the ones rushing out from underground were Gamu and the bronze-armored corpse who had not been seen for a long time!
The old Taoist priest looked indifferent as he watched Gamu coming.
Although still in the world of nothingness, the old Taoist has already tried to draw the empty symbol. The space around him was shaking like water waves , and the color of his empty symbol was also very dark. I only drew half of a symbol, and I felt a slight headache.
You are drawing talismans here to disturb me. Time is running out! I reminded him.
The old Taoist nodded and suddenly let go of my hand. After he stepped out of the void world, the space around him became stable again and the headache gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, the old Taoist priest appeared in front of the platform in the center of the formation. He drew a complete empty talisman with one hand, clapped his hands, and printed the talisman on his palms: The five elements of heaven and earth, the Tao merges into one's body . The magic talisman and the magic weapon appeared!
After the spell came out, the old Taoist slashed his hands together, and a few drops of blood flowed out and stained the talisman on his palms. Immediately, his hands flashed with green and red light. The old Taoist changed his body shape and rushed forward as if swimming. A pair of green and red palms slapped towards Gamu.
I was afraid that he was being attacked, so I quickly followed him.
At this moment, Gamu suddenly laughed and jumped back. The bronze-armored corpse behind him stepped forward and used his iron fists to resist the old Taoist's palms.
With a loud bang, the bronze-armored corpse flew backwards dozens of meters and landed far behind the crowd. The old Taoist priest was only blocked but not injured.
The magic weapon of the talisman sounds similar to the Zhou family's demon-slaying thunder weapon, and its power is almost the same. However, the old Taoist priest uses it very conveniently, and can complete it in the blink of an eye. In terms of the speed of execution, it is more than twice that of the Zhou family.
After being hit by the bronze-armored corpse's double fists, the blue-red light on the old Taoist's palms immediately dimmed a lot. It was obvious that the bronze-armored corpse's double fists, which were famous for their strength, were not so easy to take on.
At this time, the four families who had been running over from a distance with joy suddenly grinned, raised their legs and took steps forward, waving their hands to attack the old Taoist priest.
With so many people, one palm from each of them would be enough to beat the old Taoist priest into a pulp. I was quick-witted and reached out to grab the old Taoist priest's arm.
At this moment, another figure rushed out from under our feet. An iron palm grabbed the old Taoist's ankle and swung him up like a windmill.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest had been grabbed by my arm and brought into the world of nothingness. The other party grabbed the old Taoist priest's feet and followed him in.
That body, as majestic as a mountain, has the power to shatter the mountain just by standing there. It is the Wei family's top-level bronze-armored corpse!
It had been hiding underground, waiting for us to fall into its trap. From the reactions of the crowd, it was clear that Gamu's appearance was a trap. These people knew the old Taoist priest very well, otherwise they would not have set up such a dangerous situation.
After entering the world of nothingness, all attacks are ineffective. Even if the bronze-armored corpse grabs the old Taoist priest and swings him to the ground, it cannot cause any harm because the earth is also nothingness here.
However, the bronze-armored corpse itself was intact. It grabbed the old Taoist's foot with one hand and threw it to the ground, then raised its legs as thick as mountain pillars and stomped down hard.
The old Taoist priest rushed forward with both hands, grabbed the thigh of the top-level bronze armored corpse and swung it hard.
But the other party only shook its body and stepped on the ground. The old Taoist priest was caught in its hand and could not break free. Casting Taoist magic in the void world will have a huge impact on me. The power to maintain this world comes from my body. If the old Taoist priest wants to cast a spell, it is equivalent to directly extracting power from me.
Give up, although the Taoism of the Basuo lineage is magical, you can't escape with the top-level bronze-armored corpse here. Gamu came up from behind and persuaded.
I was naturally angry when I heard this. But the fact is that I can't get away from being caught by a top-level bronze-armored corpse. If I were outside, maybe the old Taoist priest would have a way, but in this world...
"Remove the spell," the old Taoist priest suddenly said.
Huh? I looked at him, puzzled.
The old Taoist looked at Gamu: When all your time is used up, we will have no chance.
Indeed, if we wait until the time is up, when we have a chance to escape, we will be caught again because we cannot cast spells. Rather than waiting to die, it is better to take a risky move.
I followed his instructions, cast a spell to break the curse, and returned to the real world.
Gamu looked at me and laughed: It’s been a long time since we last met in Xishuangbanna.
It's best not to meet. I looked at him: What on earth do you want to do?
Since you have shown up, you will know it later. Gamu smiled and said: But now I still need your cooperation, to contribute the blood of the Eight Ropes and the jade that leads to the underworld.
What if I don't want to?
I think someone has told you that even if you cut off the head, it is still effective as long as it is used in time. What's more... Gamu smiled and looked at the old Taoist priest: You don't want my old friend to die before you, and those two women. Although you are not familiar with them, you should understand that I didn't kill Boren and Boren died for me.
