Chapter 94 [094] Breaking the Wall
The snow-white bandage followed Zhongli Jin all the way.
Suddenly, a sense of solemnity and murderousness surged up from heaven and earth. The disciples who were in the psychedelic array were hypnotized by Mu Nianxi's magic circle and became her puppets. At this moment, they all chased after Zhong Li Jin's back.
"Stop, Junior Brother Zhongli! You can't go there!"
"That's a forbidden area! You'll be punished if you go there!"
The young man suddenly stopped and turned around. The white clothes he wore stirred up the surrounding wind and sand as he stopped and turned around!
The fiery red hairband was tied behind the boy's head, and the night breeze blew gently, causing his long black hair to sway slightly in the night.
"My fellow Taoists," Zhongli Jin suddenly spoke in a low, serious voice, "Do you still remember your name?"
The hypnosis of the psychedelic array will cause the person trapped in it to lose his memory, including his own name, and then replace it with what the person who set up the array wants.
Logically speaking, Zhongli Jin should have forgotten everything, but even when he lost his memory at the beginning, he was still able to remember his own name, which meant that his name was deliberately omitted by the person who set up the formation.
The one who sets up the formation - at the beginning, he needs to slowly recover his memory.
As soon as the young man asked the question, the disciples who were chasing him stopped immediately. They looked surprised, some were shocked, and some were confused, as if after this question was mentioned, they - really couldn't remember what their names were. They only knew that the young man in white in front of them was named Zhongli Jin, and he was their junior fellow apprentice.
Zhongli Jin's eyes fell on one of the female disciples, the girl who had been delivering medicine to him in the past few days.
I asked her name two days ago. She must have sensed something, or the hypnosis of the magic circle on her was slightly loosened, so she called out her own name.
The girl held the sword in her hand, and the blade trembled slightly.
Zhongli Jin stared at her and asked word by word: "Do you still remember who you are? Miss Fuling."
"!"
Poria.
The girl's eyes widened.
When she heard these two familiar words, she seemed to know something.
However, the next second, Mu Nianxi caught up and hit the girl hard on the back!
"Puff!" The female disciple spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconsciously.
Zhong Lijin was startled, then glared at Mu Nianxi: "What do you want to do?!"
Mu Nianxi wiped her hands, her red lips outlined a cold arc, and she smiled and said, "She told you too much, I'm not happy. Jin'er——"
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't even think about escaping. You can't break through the wall of this psychedelic array."
"This is a paradise that belongs to the two of us. You should stay here with me forever."
Because of Mu Nianxi's appearance, those disciples who had been slightly shaken suddenly became determined again, but that determination was the look of firm conviction after being hypnotized.
Mu Nianxi drew out the long sword at his side, looked at Zhongli Jin with a smile, and then - stabbed fiercely at the girl on the ground!
“Stop it——!!” the young man was about to rush forward to stop it.
The snow-white bandage on his wrist jumped out even faster, and he rushed forward, wrapped up the unconscious girl on the ground, and threw her towards Zhongli Jin.
The young man embraced the other person, and the yellow talisman in his hand began to burn at this moment. It was a flash talisman that could carry him hundreds of miles in an instant.
Mu Nianxi was stunned, and her beautiful face suddenly became extremely gloomy: "You dare to hug her?! I must kill her today! Everyone - chase her! Your junior brother Zhongli betrayed my feelings and wanted to elope with that vixen! Capture Zhongli Jin alive and kill the bitch in his arms!!"
The disciples all spoke up: "——Yes!! Senior Sister Mu!"
*
"We're here, at the edge of the bamboo forest." Shi Qing closed his eyes and suddenly said this.
After Chang Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up with joy: "Are you saying that Daoist Zhongli has successfully reached the edge of the bamboo forest?!"
"Yeah." Shi Qing nodded.
Chen Xiang retracted his spiritual body and returned his consciousness to this body. Hearing Chang Zhu's slightly happy voice, he sneered and poured cold water on him: "Don't be happy too soon. With Zhong Lijin's current strength, he may not be able to break the wall."
Chang Zhu didn't feel like he was being poured cold water on. He scratched the back of his head and said with a grin, "Don't you have Daoist Brother Shi Qing's bandage strips? That thing is connected to your five senses, and it can also use your spiritual power to turn into a sharp blade. It's not difficult to break open a bamboo forest from the inside."
The psychedelic array is difficult to break from the outside. One can only enter the array but not exit. It is like ethereal smoke. Any attack will only be absorbed into the interior of the array. Otherwise, the three of them would have broken it open and brought Zhongli Jin out.
Shi Qing glanced at Chang Zhu with calm eyes.
The man blushed again: "Shi, what's wrong with Shi Qing today? You keep looking at me. I, I... I really think too much."
Shi Qing said: "Nothing."
She retracted her gaze and looked straight ahead, "Today, I just feel that you are much more reliable."
Today I feel that Chang Zhu is much more reliable.
Hearing this, the man immediately raised his head proudly, "I told you, Daoist Fellow Shi Qing, I am definitely a reliable man."
When Shen Xiang heard the compliment, she tutted her tongue and muttered sourly, "A bitch who shines brightly when given a little sunshine."
Chang Zhu snorted, "You are jealous of your senior sister praising me."
Shen Xiang sneered: “You are so shameless.”
After she finished speaking, she leaned her head on Shi Qing's shoulder and whispered something in her ear in a pretentious manner. She then looked at Chang Zhu provocatively, as if mocking the man that only she could be so intimate with her senior sister.
Chang Zhu turned his head away, "It's useless for you to be jealous and provoke me, your senior sister just has a crush on me!"
Shen Xiang gritted her teeth slightly and wanted to say something else.
But Shi Qing had already said: "Be quiet."
Her eyes were calm but serious—"The wall has been broken."
*
Zhongli Jin put the girl down, took out many yellow talismans and fired them out. The talismans began to burn the moment they touched the transparent wall of the bamboo forest. Then the earth shook and explosions sounded. The explosive talismans were extremely powerful, but the bamboo forest wall inside seemed to be stronger. Even if the explosions continued, they could not completely break the wall.
Mu Nianxi and many disciples were chasing after her from behind. The woman's face was twisted, her features were ferocious with anger, and she grinned and said, "I told you! Jin'er, you can't escape! The little bitch beside you must die here today! Come on!!!"
At the command, the other hypnotized disciples rushed forward.
Zhong Lijin gritted his teeth, knowing that it would be very difficult to break the wall in a short time with the power of the talisman. "Shi Qing! I have to rely on you!"
He said to the bandage.
The bandage immediately loosened the girl's grip, and Shi Qing injected a portion of his own spiritual power into it. The snow-white bandage instantly turned into an extremely sharp blade!
Mu Nianxi had just noticed the bandage and clenched the sword in his hand and said, "Shi Qing - you are here too!"
She rushed forward with a sword in hand, ready to challenge him, but the next second, the person standing in front of her was the young man in white!
"Jin'er?!" Mu Nianxi exclaimed.
The yellow talisman in Zhongli Jin's hand burned, and a barrier of ice and snow immediately blocked her sword moves!
The bandage rolled over and chopped backwards. Its Jindan stage power, plus the damage Zhongli Jin had previously inflicted with the explosive talisman, actually successfully broke it!
"Zhongli Jin——!!!" Mu Nianxi was about to step forward to stop them.
But the young man's figure was as swift as a ghost. The moment a hole appeared in the wall, he turned around, picked up the unconscious female disciple on the ground, and rushed out of the magic circle together with the snow-white bandage!
At the same time, the place where Shi Qingchen Xiang and Chang Zhu were suddenly shaken!
She opened her eyes, temporarily withdrew her consciousness that was exiled in the bandages, stood up and said, "The wall is broken! Let's go!" to pick up Zhongli Jin!
However, at the moment Shi Qing stood up, a sharp blade suddenly stabbed at her from behind!
The sharp weapon like the bone fangs of a wild beast pierced her body, and blood gushed out almost immediately. The severe pain spread from her heart to her limbs. She stood there in a daze, and the bone fangs were suddenly pulled out of her body again, and blood splattered all over the ground in an instant!
The accident happened in the blink of an eye.
When Shen Xiang saw this scene, his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed towards Shi Qing with a roar - "Senior Sister!!!"
Flames burned all over her body, she drew her sword, and rushed towards the man holding the bone tooth with all her might.
"You are indeed a spy!!!"
There is indeed something wrong with Chang Zhu, but he is not Zhou Wu!
Then - wanting to use Zhongli Jin and Shi Qing to release the ferocious beast should not be the only purpose of their trip!
Chang Zhu was dressed in green, standing in place. Even when Shen Xiang rushed over with a sword, the man did not move. But when the girl's sword was about to pierce the man's body, he suddenly appeared behind Shen Xiang and smiled elegantly.
Bones and teeth are submerged into flesh and blood, and flowers bloom in blood and bones.
Shen Xiang was originally dressed in red, and after vomiting blood, his face looked even paler.
The girl fell beside Shi Qing and kept vomiting thick blood.
Both stab wounds penetrated deep into the heart and were fatal.
Shen Xiang raised her eyes tremblingly, her eyes full of resentment: "You... Chang Zhu... why?!"
The man was playing with the bone tooth in his hand, with demonic energy emerging from his body. When he met Shen Xiang's unwilling eyes, he smiled indifferently.
The face changed, from being plain in appearance at the beginning to becoming handsome and elegant.
He chuckled, his expression and movements like an elegant clerk in a government office, his slender fingers playing with the shrunken bone tooth in his hand with interest.
"Why? You still want an answer after all this? Isn't it obvious?" The man raised his eyebrows: "I lied to you."
"Chang Zhu!!!" Shen Xiang roared with all his strength, and more blood gushed out and spilled on the ground.
"You are wrong, fellow Taoist Chen Xiang." The man smiled, leaned forward slightly, and said to the two sisters who were gasping for breath on the ground very gently -
"My name is not Chang Zhu."
"My name is Changzhu, and I am one of the avatars of Lord Tianmo Mei Zimu. You should have seen my colleague before, his name is Zhouwu."
Shi Qing stared at the man coldly: "What's your purpose in lying to us?"
Her breathing was weak and she relied on spiritual power to support her vitality. This meant that from the very beginning, this person was targeting her and Zhongli Jin.
Knowing the sect rules of Sanqingshan and the conduct of its disciples, he fainted on the side of the road on purpose, pretending to be incompetent and relying on her on purpose.
"Purpose?" The man was dressed in green and had a scholarly temperament. He thought for a moment and said, "Probably, he just wants to borrow your power to help break a seal."
He said with satisfaction: "Now that the seal is opened, this is much more direct and effective than that guy Zhou Wu running around all day releasing ferocious beasts."
Shi Qing coughed up a mouthful of blood, raised his eyes and continued to look at the man, "Zhongli Jin...how is it?"
He breaks through the wall from the inside, what will happen to him? !
As soon as the words fell, the ground shook even more violently.
Changzhu listened to his question, rubbed his chin, and said with a smile: "Zhongli Jin, he should be dumbfounded now."
"After all - if he breaks this seal, he will become a sinner in the entire cultivation world."
*
A gap suddenly appeared in the foggy bamboo forest.
Then there were several sounds of glass shattering, bursting out all at once!
Powerful waves and impact force rushed towards the boy's face. Zhongli Jin used his long sleeves to block the sharp stones. However, when the wind and waves stopped, he looked forward again.
But suddenly discovered——
He is currently located at the intersection of the demon world and the world of cultivation!
However, the barrier that had been separating the two worlds was brutally broken open with a huge gap!
The masters, elders, and disciples who were guarding outside the Secret Realm of Purgatory all looked at the young man with strange and extremely shocked eyes.
"You..." The head of Cang Yue Mountain said in astonishment: "How... did you break this wall?!"
Once the barrier is destroyed, the demons emerge!
The sea of the abyss began to boil, carrying with it an extremely sharp demonic energy, which turned into sharp blades and rushed towards the gap!
In just a blink of an eye, huge waves rose up in the abyss sea, and the monsters that broke the first seal were like an army approaching, rushing towards the human world with fangs and claws bared!
"You traitor! Zhongli Jin! Are you going to destroy the world of cultivation?!"
"How could you possibly do this? It was just a competition! And you destroyed the barrier! Do you know how many lives would be lost in the world? A bloody tragedy?!"
The boy stood there in a daze.
Looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He looked around; the insults, accusations, and anger were like materialized swords piercing his heart.
Mu Nianxi, who had chased after him, shook her head regretfully: "Jin'er, I've already told you not to do this. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in that paradise with me? Look at what's going on now."
The woman's eyes were filled with some distress, but more of it was pride: "Unfortunately, there is no turning back for you, Jin'er."
"..."
The boy was silent.
Those eyes were hidden under the bangs on his forehead, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
After a long while, he finally raised his eyes calmly, turned his head, and stared at Mu Nianxi behind him with his dark eyes. He said lightly: "So - this is your purpose?"
Mu Nianxi was stunned when she met the boy's indifferent eyes.
"You——" Before she could finish her words, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhongli Jin's face: "So, that's it."
"boom--!!"
The surrounding scene changed drastically in an instant!
The world changes and time goes back.
When Mu Nianxi came back to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the barrier of the purple bamboo forest!
The barrier in front of me is intact, with no signs of anyone destroying it!
Her face turned pale instantly and she turned and rushed towards the house!
Unfortunately, the next second - the psychedelic heart was destroyed, and everything in the magic circle - was annihilated!
*
When the love poison took effect, Zhongli Jin discovered that the magic circle could not be activated in the house.
This can only mean one thing - this place is the center of the psychedelic array.
The center of the magic circle cannot overlap, so the array can only be activated after leaving the house.
The moment he rushed out of the room, Zhongli Jin successfully activated the maze array. From that moment on, the illusion targeting Mu Nianxi began.
Zhongli Jin destroyed the center of the formation, looked at the bandage wrapped around his wrist, and said, "Shi Qing, this is over for me."
Received the message from the boy.
Shi Qing's eyes flickered as he covered his chest and vomited blood.
Then it’s time for them to wrap up.
Good night! ~~~
