Russell sneered coldly, "I'm getting more and more intuitive, the treasure under the ground is far from just a great demon's yuan dan. It might be an ancient relic that has arrived here today. If I let it go, it will haunt me for the rest of my life." He stretched out his large hand towards Ren Gengxin on the ground and grinned savagely, "Kid, take one last look!"
His left hand rose high, the spiritual energy transformed by the Xuanji Dan had already flowed into his left arm, Lu Peng stared at him with wide eyes and a tongue-tied expression as Luo Su's muscles on his arm suddenly withered away in an instant, revealing white bones like a skin-covered skeleton. The space between his fingers was filled with a thick death aura. He reached out to grab Ren Gengxin's head.
Mo Zi Chen couldn't see the situation in front of him, but he knew it was Luo Su's trick. He felt anxious and shouted: "I don't care!" Then he flew towards the stone wall and crashed into it.
Here, the tunnels crisscrossed, and the stone walls that were originally only a few thin layers were shattered by her collision. Ji Youfei also flew up, and the Seven Northern Dipper Swords simultaneously shot out of his palm, with sword lights like snow, swirling across the sky.
Russell's palm, now pressed onto the top of Ren Geng's skull. The blood sacrifice he performed was not an ordinary evil technique, but a secret transmission from his ancestors, with a powerful and inherited magic spell. It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to break through the seal and find the location of the spiritual object in the mountain belly.
But his cultivation was low, and when he cast a spell, he couldn't be easily interrupted. Therefore, although he hadn't found the enemy, he still carefully let Lu Peng stand guard beside him. Sure enough, seeing two people approaching, his hand didn't stop, but instead shouted: "Lu Peng, block them!"
Lu Peng held two command flags in his hand, his legs still trembling with fear. Seeing Ji Youfei's sword light approaching, he couldn't help but shout loudly and quickly waved the flags in his hand.
Ji Youfei only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, as if he had suddenly fallen into a black fog and swamp, the sword energy was entwined by countless black threads, and he couldn't move at all.
His Northern Dipper Sword was damaged in the battle, and without the White Rainbow Sword as his main attacking force, his power was greatly reduced. He knew that the opponent's formation was simple, but he couldn't break through it.
Lu Peng busily arranged the small flags under his feet, placing them according to direction. With a wave of the command flag in his hand, dark energy surged around him and ghostly shadows fluttered about, suddenly trapping Ji Mo and the other person so they couldn't move.
Russell sneered and the Xuanji Dan flew out from his head, spinning rapidly in mid-air with a brilliant glow. He shouted loudly: "Break the law!"
The Xuanji Dan suddenly burst open on his head, a beam of light rushed forward, Luo Su's left hand hovered above Ren Gengxin's head, motionless, and his right hand quickly took out the talismans from the leather bag, his fingers snapped, dozens of talismans flew up like butterflies among flowers, following the light downwards.
A loud roar, countless fireballs ignited in the air, merged into a large fireball, falling down, the ground roared loudly, and actually sank downwards.
Russell burst into loud laughter: "Haha, indeed I broke the forbidden law! Now, let you make this final blow!"
The light of the Xuanji Dan transformed into a long bridge, extending downwards, with the fireball suspended in mid-air, not continuing to fall. Below, it was an endless black abyss that could not be seen at a glance.
Mo Zi Chen and Ji You Fei were both blocked by the formation, unable to advance. Luo Su's face revealed a sinister smile as his hand slowly descended, and Ren Geng Xin could already feel the faint aura of evil energy emanating from his fingertips.
His fingers had already touched Ran Geng's new hair, when suddenly a white light flashed before his eyes. Luo Su You let out a heart-wrenching scream and leapt backward, shouting: "Who is it?!"
At the spot where he had just stood, blood was splattered everywhere, and on the ground lay a severed hand. Russell's left hand had been chopped off at the wrist!
That sword energy swept through the air, and the restraints on Ren Gengxin's body were cut off. He rolled over, jumped up, and Lu Peng was so frightened that he threw away the command flag in his hand and turned around to jump.
Ren Gengxin and Ji Mo met together, and Ji Youfei had already called out: "Is it Brother Su?"
Not far from the original location of Ren Gengxin's station, a figure slowly emerged. It was Su Huan, still wearing that spotless white robe, with a folding fan in his hand waving gently, and the sword light made a turn in the air before returning to his hand.
"Ah-ha! You're so sinister! You... have been hiding here all along!"
Su Huan bowed to Ren Gengxin, "This demon is quite difficult to deal with. In order to make a sure kill, I had to give you a scare, sorry about that."
"He turned around and said: 'You are practicing evil methods here, both humans and gods are angry, why don't you surrender now?'"
Russell covered his severed hand, and the fresh blood was still dripping on the ground. He groaned and said: "You are Su Huan, Qingcheng Mo family, originally not a top-notch sect, when did you become the one to uphold justice?"
Ji Youfei stepped forward and said loudly: "I am a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, this Miss Mo is the true heir of the Jiuhua Xianzong. What do we have to do with you?"
Russell burst out laughing: "I'm just a small scattered cultivator, even if I do some harmful things, I won't harm many people. But when it comes to these famous sects and schools, they are the most sinister when doing things. The Net Temple Sect uses the magic door's secret method to refine the spiritual vein of this land, breaking the forbidden spell, who knows how many lives have been lost? Do you guys care about that?"
Mo Zi Chen's heart moved slightly as she opened her mouth and asked: "Didn't you say that this place was originally an ancient tomb, what do you know about it?"
Russell laughed loudly: "I was also trapped in this place, and only slowly discovered the truth. This place must have been a lair of a great demon king back then. All the spiritual veins underground were refined by the Demon Gate's grand ritual, hiding their original spiritual energy. Do you think the spiritual veins in Lingjing Mountain would be cut off for no reason? It was because they triggered the Demon Gate's forbidden law. They just used me as a scapegoat to cover up the truth. If we hadn't accidentally entered the ancient tomb, the whole thing wouldn't have been exposed."
"Spare me the nonsense," Su Huan said with a drink, "what exactly are you doing here?"
Russell burst out laughing: "As a cultivator, I don't believe you're not tempted!" His voice suddenly dropped to a low tone, "Do you know that hidden beneath here is an extremely powerful treasure, its power surpassing even the core of a great demon. If you let me go today, aside from this Xuanji Dan, I can also open the gates for you, and as for the underground treasure, not a single coin will be taken!"
He lowered his voice and said, "This Xuanji Dan of mine comes from the Purple King Toad of Xuan Yue, and it can naturally sense demonic cultivators and spiritual objects. The power of this object is even comparable to a high-grade treasure, don't you feel tempted?"
