Chapter 169 The Horror Ruins in the City of People (8000)
The flame was pale green and looked very faint, like a candle that couldn't be ignited. But when Xu Bai came into contact with the flame, he realized that the power of the flame was extraordinary.
Xu Bai is not just protecting Chen Ting, the most important thing is that the other party wants to kill Chen Ting, which proves that Chen Ting is definitely useful.
What the enemy wants to do, of course he will not let the enemy succeed, otherwise he will be the one who suffers.
The most obvious feeling is heat. This kind of heat seems to come from the bottom of my heart and can burn the sky.
Following the surrounding fragments, they continued to pass, Xu Bai saw the fragments of the black knife, and they disappeared in an instant.
The Black Sword and Hundred Cracks is only made of the material of the fourth rank or so. Even with the protection of Xu Bai's black light and strong wind, it still cannot withstand such a high temperature.
In just an instant, the shattered pieces of the black knife were gone, leaving only the handle of the knife.
"Come!"
The knife is gone, not a big problem.
The green flame also weakened a lot, Xu Bai threw out the hilt of the knife in his hand, letting the hilt melt in the green flame, then he raised his hands and went straight to meet it.
Hands came into contact with the green flames, and the scorching sensation came over instantly, the black light of the Vajra Heart Demon Body shattered in the blink of an eye, and the next moment, Xu Bai performed the trick.
A portion of the sea of flames rose directly into the sky, dyeing the entire sky a miserable green color. Under the spread of the sea of flames, even the dark clouds in this sky disappeared.
There was a sharp pain in his hands, and his hands were melting in the flames.
"Benefactor Xu, I'll help you!"
At this time, Wuhua's voice sounded.
Bursts of Buddha's light intertwined on his body, and then transitioned to Xu Bai's body. It can be seen that Wuhua's face is pale, and blood is overflowing from the corner of his mouth, obviously pushing his own potential.
"Sir!"
Ye Zi waved her hands vigorously, dancing crazily, gathering into afterimages in mid-air, with blood dripping from her nails, but she didn't seem to know that the mechanical class was playing.
Melodious music descended from the sky, covering Xu Bai's whole body.
"Golden Silk Gu, melt!"
Miao Xiao couldn't be idle at this moment, pointing to the golden thread Gu in his hand.
The golden thread Gu is gradually turning into golden powder all over the sky.
"Poof!"
Miao Xiao spit out blood from his throat, but gritted his teeth and persisted.
Buddha light, rhythm, gold powder.
The three items gathered together, and the next moment, Xu Bai felt that the true energy in his body seemed to be boiling.
His hands were already melted, but at this moment, under the urging of true energy, the indestructible body also temporarily increased to a huge level.
His hands gradually recovered, Xu Bai slowly raised his hand, and punched the green flame in front of him.
The clothes on his body were burned by the flames, but under this punch, the green flame suddenly dimmed, and became only one-third of its original size.
Although the flames that filled the sky still existed tragically all over the sky, these flames were scattered and did not fall again.
"Again!"
Xu Bai roared angrily.
The melody of the Buddha's light surrounding him, and the gold powder made from the golden thread Gu, gathered on the fist with the movement of his right hand.
The fist presents colorful lights, containing terrifying energy.
He doesn't know how to box, it doesn't matter, he doesn't need it now.
The five fingers of the left hand spread out to form the shape of a hand knife, facing the green flame in front of him, and slashed from top to bottom.
Using the hand as the sword, play the five moves of the sword!
The knife in the hand came into contact with the flames, and the flames couldn't hold back completely, turning into a sky full of green and soaring into the sky.
This complicated confrontation seems to be very long, but it was just the moment Xu Bai jumped into the sky, and he experienced various rotations of life and death.
"Hoo..."
The surrounding temperature is decreasing. Although the green flames in the sky still exist, the threat has been eliminated.
Xu Bai let out a long breath, and fell from the sky. Then he felt his legs go weak, and he almost couldn't stand still.
This green flame is really strong, after all, it is made from the remains of the fire altar.
Li Huo Altar was one of the components of the Five Elements Demon Altar Formation. This is a formation that can exterminate the geniuses of the human race. Even if it is only one of them, even if there are only wreckage left, the power is extremely terrifying.
The true energy in Xu Bai's body has been exhausted, but it is recovering rapidly.
He didn't back up, nor forward, just looking at the people around him.
The surrounding area was completely silent, so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Although the remnants of the Gu God Sect surrounded them, they all fell silent after seeing the scene in front of them.
They want to talk, but they don't know what to say at the moment,
say what?
Are you still threatening?
You can't even deal with Lihuotan, how can you beat this?
A figure shakes, it is the leader of this group of remnants.
The leader has an ordinary appearance and extremely complex eyes: "If word of today's battle gets out, no one will be able to shake the title of the number one master of the younger generation. It is worthy of being a blood slaughter swordsman."
"Forcibly resisting Lihuotan, heh, amazing..."
His tone was extremely dry. Although he seemed to be telling one thing, it made him feel bitter when he said it.
"I won." Xu Bai stared at this man, recovering frantically.
At this time, he didn't have a single piece of clothing on his body, and it was burned at that moment just now, but he didn't flinch now, because he couldn't let the other party see that he was a little weak at the moment.
"No, you didn't win." The leader gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how long you want to seal up your memory, but we agreed at the beginning, the Miao Sect preacher is here, the golden silk gu I've given it to you, what are you waiting for!"
This sentence was not addressed to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head suddenly and shouted, "Stay away from Chen Ting!"
Needless to say, Wu Hua and the others were not stupid, and returned to Xu Bai's side in minutes, staring at Chen Ting who was standing there dumbfounded.
Wuhua and the others were also seriously injured. They tried their best to support Xu Bai just now, and it is very difficult to fight now.
Chen Ting was full of doubts: "What are you talking about?"
The leader gritted his teeth and said: "At the beginning, you were tortured by those untouchables over and over again. You wanted to die, but I saved you."
"You said, you want revenge, I agreed, and sealed part of the memory with the heart-swallowing Gu, and Miao Zheng also gave you the golden thread Gu, look at your left hand."
Chen Ting was bewildered, and subconsciously raised her sleeves. She found that there was a golden thread connecting her wrist to her arm.
"What's this?"
"I...uh!"
She suddenly covered her head and squatted on the ground, trembling slightly, as if in extreme pain.
"Do it!"
Xu Bai knew that this was not the time to restore the memory of the other party. Although he couldn't figure out the relationship, there was nothing wrong with doing it now.
Relying on the recovery of a little real energy just now, Xu Bai performed Xing Break four times, came to Chen Ting with a knife in his hand, and used the five moves of Yi Dao.
It seemed that she was about to approach Chen Ting's head, but the next moment, Chen Ting stretched out her right hand and grabbed Xu Bai's wrist.
The huge force made Xu Bai stop.
Xu Bai was startled, he backhanded away and backed away quickly.
"I remembered..."
Chen Ting's body stopped shaking, and she slowly stood up from the ground. Her eyes were no longer blank, replaced by endless hatred.
The **** hatred, the soaring resentment, and the green flames in the sky all trembled.
"What the **** is going on..." Wuhua subconsciously said when she saw this scene.
Before Xu Bai could answer, Chen Ting spoke suddenly.
"All of this is my setup."
Chen Ting's eyes were cold, filled with boundless hatred.
"I sealed my memory and let them secretly feed me living corpses every day. Even the memory that was awakened at the end covered up that tiny memory."
"The only way to use the Golden Silk Gu is not to use corpses to raise the Gu, but to use living corpses to completely absorb the Golden Thread Gu."
"And I am a living corpse..."
After she finished speaking, dense corpse spots appeared on her body.
But her breath is a living person, not a corpse.
"The taboo of the corpse collection line, coupled with the boundless hatred, I actually devoured the golden thread Gu in turn."
"This is…"
A gust of wind suddenly appeared.
In this wind, Chen Ting unexpectedly soared into the air slowly, floating in mid-air.
The green flames around her disappeared with a wave of her hand, and immediately after, Chen Ting's surroundings turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Can fly.
The sky changes.
Under the superimposition of the two... Transformation.
This is the real mortal transformation, not the blood-haired weirdness of half-step mortal transformation.
"Hahaha!" The leader laughed and said, "It's done, it's finally done! My idea is indeed correct. Next, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
As he spoke, the leader pointed at Xu Bai, and said, "Kill him, and explode the imprint of the Demonic City that he left behind, and then use the Lihuo Altar to make the entire Lingyun Prefecture fall into the City of Humans!"
Xu Bai has been listening by the side, while listening, while silently recovering the true energy in his body.
He didn't speak, he just recovered, because it's useless to say anything now, maybe a big battle will start in the next moment, and the real reason is to hurry up and recover.
And now when he heard the leader say that he was a fraud, he raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, this guy not only regarded himself as a target, but also the people of the entire Lingyun Prefecture as a target.
However, the problem now is not with the leader, but with Chen Ting.
Can the third grade be able to defeat the ordinary?
Xu Bai didn't know.
He only fought against the blood-haired Weird who was half-step into the Mortal Realm, and he won, and both sides suffered.
But now, he can't choose either.
Chen Ting raised her head and looked in the direction of the leader.
The sea of corpses and blood around the body is gradually spreading. The next moment, the leader is directly torn apart and turned into a part of the sea of corpses and blood.
"I hate people, I hate living people." Chen Ting said slowly with her hands behind her back, "You don't have to order me."
"The body collectors have such respect for the world, people, and corpses."
"But my ending was treated like a beast by those people, so before I cooperate with you, I have already figured it out."
"I'm going to kill anyone I see until I'm killed."
As she said that, Chen Ting's gaze slowly turned and stayed on Xu Bai.
"including you."
"Even if you avenge me, you can't stop my hatred."
Xu Bai: "..."
This is not unreasonable at all. It is too rude to be killed by her after avenging her.
“First, let’s start with these people.”
Chen Ting ignored Xu Bai's gaze and waved her hand indifferently. Suddenly, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood rolled around, like a machine devouring flesh and blood.
The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood surged in all directions, and the remnants of the Gu gods in all directions screamed miserably.
This is the mortal state. Under the mortal state, everything is an ant.
Compared to the **** hair that Xu Bai killed before, it is not at the same level at all. After all, the **** hair is only a half-step transformation.
Xu Bai saw this scene and made some estimates.
—Unbeatable.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was a fact. Although he only had the strength of the third rank, he was able to take half a step to the Mortal Realm.
However, if you are in the Transmortal Realm...
Really can't beat it.
After Chen Ting finished all this, she turned her head to look at Xu Bai and the people behind Xu Bai.
Ye Zi took two steps forward, stood in front of Xu Bai, opened his hands, glared at Chen Ting, and said, "Young Master avenged you, but you actually repay your kindness, is there any reason for you?"
Wu Hua and Miao Xiao did not speak, but still looked at Chen Ting with angry eyes.
Even Xu Bai couldn't beat him, so of course they couldn't.
Chen Ting is not talking nonsense, she has a monstrous hatred.
"I don't need anyone to help me avenge, I will avenge myself."
"You haven't experienced my pain, how do you know the hatred in my heart, I just want to kill people now, kill everything I see, until I am killed."
"Forget it, let's start with you!"
She's about to wave.
At this time, Xu Bai suddenly spoke.
"Can I ask something?"
Chen Ting was stunned for a moment, and put down her hand: "I know you want to hurry up to recover, but that's impossible, you can't beat the Mortal Transformation Realm."
Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "I just don't want to be an unjust dead ghost, so why don't you tell me the ins and outs of the matter for the sake of avenging you?"
Chen Ting was silent for a second, nodded and said: "You already know what happened, and I have already told you what happened to me. What else do you want to know?"
Xu Bai pointed to himself, and said, "It's very simple. Take me for example. What marks do I have on my body?"
Chen Ting said: "You have been to Yaogui City before, and you were able to come out alive, but the mark of Yaogui City has been stained on your body. Of course, it will disappear with the passage of time."
"Then how do you plan to activate the mark?" Xu Bai asked again.
Chen Ting continued: "As long as you kill you, the mark will appear, and then use Lihuo Altar to activate it, slaughter half of the people in Lingyun Prefecture, and then you can be drawn into the city of treachery."
"They planned to use the method of leaving the fire altar. After all, it was successful at that time. The only difference is that because the dead are human, they will enter the city of human deception."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I kill you or not. The main reason is that after killing you, there won't be too much trouble. After all, you won't resist anymore."
Xu Bai hummed, but did not speak.
Although he didn't speak, his mind was running fast.
Killing myself is actually to not resist. This imprint of myself can activate people's tricks by leaving the fire altar.
But the sacrifices here are the people of Lingyun Prefecture.
The number is large enough to drag the entire Lingyun Prefecture into trouble.
Xu Bai raised his head, looked at Chen Ting in the sky, and suddenly had an idea.
Can you fight?
This is definitely unbeatable.
It is also one of the few people Xu Bai has encountered since he entered the industry that he cannot beat.
But being unable to fight does not mean that he will be caught without a fight. The idea in his mind does not know whether it can be achieved, but he can give it a try.
Seeing that Xu Bai stopped asking questions, Chen Ting was about to raise her hand and kill Xu Bai.
kill.
Must be killed.
Since she was insulted by those people, there is boundless hatred left in her heart, and there is no so-called forgiveness anymore.
After she killed Xu Bai, she would aimlessly find someone to kill, until she was killed by others, and that was the beginning of liberation.
Only in this way can the hatred in her heart be relieved.
Just as Chen Ting was about to kill Xu Bai, the next moment, she found Xu Bai standing in front of her in the blink of an eye.
"I know you won't be caught without a fight, but you will never know that the saying that there are ants in the mortal state is the most reasonable thing in the world."
Chen Ting sighed.
The mountains of corpses and seas of blood poured in, blocking Xu Bai layer by layer.
But the next moment, Xu Bai's action was very decisive. With a twist, his legs separated directly, and he threw himself on Chen Ting.
This kind of ruthless action, even Chen Ting couldn't help being taken aback.
Cut off his own leg alive, is this man so cruel to himself?
At this moment, Chen Ting was embraced by Xu Bai, and fell to the ground from a high altitude, making a bang.
"Don't worry, stay away from me!" Xu Bai roared.
The remaining true energy in the body is running crazily, and the method of operation is...
Water adaptation method!
This is derived from the exercises on the water distribution altar, which allows him to perform as usual underwater.
When the water-adapting method was in operation, the remnants of the Gu God Sect who had been beheaded by Chen Ting before turned into a force of flesh and blood, gathering here continuously.
"You're crazy!" Chen Ting was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that she wanted to struggle, but Xu Bai hugged her tightly.
The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood attacked Xu Bai's body, but Xu Bai didn't stop.
Xu Bai raised his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a crazy smile: "I'm a blood butcher swordsman, compared to madness, who can compare to me?"
He guessed right, bet right.
He had inquired before that the method used by Gu God Sect is the method of Lihuo Altar, and Lihuo Altar and Fen Shui Altar belong to the same source, and the method of Fen Shui Altar is also applicable.
As expected, it is indeed applicable.
He has the seal, the ability to adapt to the water, and the strength of flesh and blood.
Although there are not many of them, these remnants of the Gu God Sect are all people in the industry, and their flesh and blood are much stronger than ordinary people, enough to bring him and this woman in together.
A huge hole appeared in the sky, and a strong suction came, ready to **** Xu Bai into it.
This void looks extremely terrifying, and there are figures shaking inside.
Every figure reveals weirdness and vicissitudes, as if it came from a distant era, and is watching the world with greedy and evil eyes.
This is a tricky market.
"Let go of me, you madman!"
Chen Ting struggled frantically, leaving one scar after another on Xu Bai's body, but it was of no avail.
Even... with the blessing of Xu Bai's Indestructible Body, both legs that were twisted just now recovered.
She was hugged by Xu Bai, and in an instant, she was sucked into that huge hole.
The incomparably deep hole slowly closed, leaving behind Xu Bai's words.
"The city of people and tricks can't do anything to me, just like the city of ghosts and tricks, you don't need to worry."
These words echoed in the air, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened except for the mess on the ground.
Ye Zi sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, the hole was gone, but she just raised her head, staring blankly.
Young Master...was taken to that strange space again.
She suddenly felt that she was so useless, and hammered her head angrily.
If it can be stronger, it may not be the result today.
Ye Zi buried her head in her knees, her face was dull.
With blood on the corner of her mouth, Wu Hua smiled wryly as she watched this scene.
He sighed and recited Buddhist scriptures silently, but his heart was miserable.
Just now, what Xu Bai did touched his heart, and at the same time, he was also very sad.
As far as the relationship with Xu Bai is concerned, Wuhua must be very deep, but now Xu Bai has been brought into the city of deception.
Perhaps ordinary people in the industry don't know what the place is, but a direct disciple like him knows a thing or two.
Miao couldn't smile clearly, but she knew that her idol seemed to have gone to a particularly dangerous place.
Beside , the fourth-grade puppet lost control instantly and fell to the ground.
Time continued to pass, and no one spoke.
A feeling of sadness enveloped and was gradually spreading.
At this time, Ye Zi suddenly stood up, wiped away the tears on his face, picked up the fourth-grade puppet, and picked up the package left by Xu Bai.
"Let's go."
Wu Hua and Miao Xiao looked at Ye Zi with wry smiles.
Ye Zi took a deep breath and said, "I believe you are fine. You were able to get out of Yaogui City last time. It is the same this time. You are a miracle. I believe him. We just need to go back and clean up the mess behind us." , just wait in Lingyun Prefecture."
When Ye Zi spoke, Wu Hua and the two calmed down a bit.
But Ye Zi hadn't finished speaking yet, what she thought was that if she didn't return for a long time, she would follow the young master.
The surroundings were like ruins, they didn't stop, and walked towards Lingyun Prefecture.
Ye Zi clenched his fists tightly, as if he had a plan.
After everyone left, the canyon became quiet again, and everything was as usual. Just waiting for the passage of time, all the wreckage here can be wiped away.
…
the other side.
Xu Bai hugged Chen Ting, and after being sucked in by the big hole, he felt cold all over, and his eyes were dark.
There are many afterimages watching him around, shaking constantly, with terrifying power and madness.
Afterimages are curious, but also greedy, greedy for everything in front of them.
In a blink of an eye, everything was going backwards rapidly, and even those afterimages gradually disappeared, before Xu Bai landed on a black soil with a bang.
Just as he fell, there was a piercing scream from beside him.
"ah!"
Chen Ting hugged her head and rolled on the ground, as if something was gnawing at her soul.
The mountains of corpses and the sea of blood around her were gradually fading away. The next moment, Chen Ting let go of her hands and lay down with her eyes empty.
No one can resist this kind of rule, even if they are in the mortal state, they can only become idiots.
Xu Bai gasped and stood up. Just when he was about to speak, the sharp pain had already hit his soul in an instant.
"Grass, come again!"
He squatted down resolutely, holding his head in his hands, making painful noises, and shaking violently.
This is not to say that he does not have the foundation of a tough guy, nor does it mean that he is not tough, but this kind of pain of the soul is really not something ordinary people can resist.
"Xiao Jin, it's up to you."
Xu Bai rolled his eyes and passed out decisively.
If there are cheats and don't use them, it's a fool's behavior.
next moment.
Terrifying golden light rose from his body and went straight into the sky, with an indomitable trend, sweeping away the blood red around him.
Among the golden light, there is a powerful aura rushing towards the face, sacred and solemn, making it impossible to resist.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment, and the golden light quickly disappeared.
Xu Bai slowly opened his eyes, woke up from the coma, and rubbed his head.
"Sure enough, Xiao Jin is still reliable."
This is his method. After entering Yaogui City last time, nothing happened, and it is the same this time.
Beside , Chen Ting lay there with empty eyes, staring at the blood red sky.
Xu Bai moved his body, stepped forward, and pressed Chen Ting's forehead.
"Crack!"
A crisp voice sounded, and Chen Ting lost her vitality and turned into a corpse.
"Well... this time I have to go out as soon as possible." Xu Bai turned around and looked at the surrounding environment.
The surrounding area is still blood-red, and the scorched soil under his feet looks very similar to the city of monsters, but he knows that the place he is now in is the city of people.
However, the difference from last time is that this time it is not in a city, but in a wilderness.
"This is a bit complicated." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.
After the experience of going to the ghost city before, he already understood that, whether it is the ghost city or the human ghost city, there is nothing else here except the disgust and killing intent for the living.
No tricks, nothing else, just a living killing.
The weirdness here is conscious, but also disgusting to people.
This is an extremely dangerous place, Xu Bai felt that he couldn't stay longer and had to find a way to leave.
"Last time, I left through that strange formation, and this time it should be the same." Xu Bai thought to himself.
Thinking of this, he slowly raised his right hand.
True energy was circulating in the body, and then a golden compass appeared in midair.
—Feng Shui Calculus.
I don’t know where I am, and I don’t know what to do next, so what should I do next?
It's very simple, just do a divination.
As Xu Bai used this skill, the golden compass began to emit a faint light, and the pointer on it rotated crazily. Then, the pointer stopped slowly and pointed in one direction.
"Hmm... this location." Xu Bai touched his chin and said to himself, "Go and see first."
He looked around, his body was naked, there was nothing he could do, after all, it was all burned away by the fire.
"My capital is pretty good." Xu Bai smiled.
The more dangerous the place is, the more you must maintain a positive attitude. After joking to himself, Xu Bai walked towards the direction pointed by the pointer.
…
Human Guile City and Yaogui City don't look much different, the ground is still scorched black soil with a little bit of blood oozing, and the surroundings are all blood red.
Even the sky above his head was blood red, which made his heart chill.
Xu Bai stepped on the soft ground, walking in that direction without stopping.
Along the way, his speed was not fast, but he took every step carefully.
This place is different from the Great Chu Kingdom. It is full of weirdness and danger everywhere.
Although Xu Bai walked around here, he didn't come across anything weird, but it's normal that he didn't see anything weird here in the wilderness.
But you have to be careful, in case one suddenly pops up, you can deal with it.
After walking in this direction for about an hour, Xu Bai stopped, looked at the things in front of him, and frowned tightly.
Not far ahead, there is a ruins.
It is said to be ruins, but it should be a city wall, but this city wall is much more barren than the Yaogui City where it was before.
The city wall was in ruins, more than half of the plaques on it were missing, and the handwriting was illegible and unrecognizable.
On the city wall, there are still many dried blood stains, which are dark brown.
The gates of the city are open. To be precise, there are no gates. Looking from the outside, there is a deserted street inside.
The houses on both sides are dilapidated, and even the roofs are covered with broken tiles.
Come to such a ghostly place rashly, even though there is a golden compass to guide you, you still can't go in rashly.
He wandered outside for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he walked carefully towards the gate of the city.
The closer you get to this kind of ruined city, the more **** smell you will feel.
Having been in this business for a long time, he was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, so Xu Bai stopped outside the city gate and looked inside.
It was still quiet inside, not to mention weird, not even a shadow.
After thinking for a while, Xu Bai raised his foot and walked inside.
I thought something unusual would happen, but it didn't. After Xu Bai walked a long way, until he entered the city, nothing suddenly appeared.
The golden compass is suspended in mid-air, and the pointer is still pointing to a direction, which means let him walk towards this position.
Xu Bai looked around vigilantly as he walked.
The surrounding area was dilapidated. It was far away before, so he couldn't see it clearly. After getting closer, he saw that these dilapidated marks were newly left.
"It seems that someone fought here, and the city was completely destroyed, so it is the ruins." Xu Bai thought to himself.
He raised his spirits and continued to walk forward.
After walking for about half an hour, the front finally became clear.
A huge open space appeared in front of me, and in the center of the open space was a circular platform.
Xu Bai is of course familiar with this circular platform. When he was in Yaogui City, he left through this platform.
You only need to inject true energy into it, and you can leave, but there is one more thing, that is the brand of the city lord.
This place is deserted, where can I find the Santo's sign?
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
It is quite difficult to find a brand in a city. He thought about it and planned to use Feng Shui to try it out.
"Try it, the sooner you leave, the better."
Thinking about this, Xu Bai plans to try.
But just as he was about to start, an abnormality finally appeared.
