Chapter 1529

~11 min read 2,128 words

The mist in the green pool below surged, a stream of pure spiritual energy overflowed, and the nearby ground began to tremble with a deep rumbling.

After exchanging a glance, the two Nether Thunder Beasts revealed shocked and furious eyes, let out violent roars, then retracted the lightning arcs on their bodies, straightened their lower limbs, and stood upright like humans.

Black strange winds emerged around them, swirling around the two upright ferocious beasts, engulfing them completely.

Seeing this, the white-haired beauty and Mu Qing and others felt their hearts sink sharply.

Based on their experience, they naturally knew nothing good would happen below; the two Nether Thunder Beasts were preparing to unleash some powerful divine ability.

Immediately, the beauty let out a low cry from her mouth; her white hair instantly grew extraordinarily long, and she flung her head forward into the empty space opposite.

Countless Bai Mang shot through the air, instantly enveloping the black wind beneath them.

Each Bai Mang was straight as a needle, emitting a piercing sharp cry, appearing immensely powerful.

Meanwhile, Mu Qing made a hand seal; rosy light burst from her body, and bowl-sized floral shadows floated around, then blurred and transformed into five-colored ****.

The edges of these **** were incredibly thin; as they spun rapidly, they silently shot outward.

For a moment, the air filled with cold light, Bai Mang everywhere, making one's scalp tingle.

Both divine abilities were clearly no small matter!

But then an unexpected scene appeared.

Inside the black wind, the two beasts made no movement at all, still densely packed as the **** and Bai Mang shot into them.

Yet from within came a strange metallic scraping sound, and then all attacks bounced back from the wind.

The two attacks seemed to strike against a copper wall and iron barrier.

The two women were stunned for a moment.

At that moment, the black wind swirled and dispersed, revealing two ten-zhang-tall figures with ferocious faces—humanoid demonic beings.

They had horns on their heads and were covered in silver scales—exactly the transformed forms of the original Nether Thunder Beasts, though their limbs and bodies now closely resembled human shape!

What made Mu Qing's expression tighten was that the two beasts, upon taking form, immediately began forming hand seals with both hands and, opening their mouths, each spat out an object.

A black light flashed—it was a dark, murky small flag.

The other emitted countless streaks of white霞—it was an exceptionally exquisite magic disk.

"Not good, stop them quickly! They're trying to activate the restriction laid down by the Mayfly Clan." The blood-robed man reacted first, suddenly startled and shouting loudly.

Following that, he couldn't delay activating the puppet; he shook his sleeves, and a pair of short swords, several inches long, rang out and flew forth, flashing past before turning into two streaks of blood light that pierced straight toward the two objects.

The two humanoid Nether Thunder Beasts seemed to have anticipated this; simultaneously, they each shook their heads, and their two horns detached on their own, transforming into two streaks of lightning that surged forward to meet them.

After two booming sounds, when the horns made contact with the blood light, blinding electrical light erupted, actually shattering the two short swords instantly with thunderous force.

The power was so great it left people stunned and speechless!

No wonder. These two horns were inherently the hardest parts of the beasts' bodies, and who knows how many tens of thousands of years they had been sacrificed and refined; in terms of toughness, they were certainly not inferior to spirit-treasure-level swords. After the two ferocious beasts transformed and exerted their full power, one could imagine how great their might would be.

However, the two horns were not limited to just this strike; after another flash, they vanished strangely in place.

The next moment, two streaks of lightning roared forth from the void, appearing several zhang ahead of the blood-robed man, and without hesitation, struck with a thunderbolt.

These two Nether Thunder Beasts clearly saw that, among the three opponents, the blood-robed man appeared the weakest, and prepared to join forces to kill him first.

The blood-robed man was startled, but the horns' escape speed was too fast; trying to dodge came too late, so he could only flare with shocked anger as blood light flashed on his body, and two blood shadows projected directly from his body, shooting out to block in front of him.

These were exactly the blood puppets he had refined.

Following that, his blood-colored robe swelled, and a layer of blood-colored light shield suddenly appeared around him.

Though these two blood puppets were not weak in strength, the two horns suddenly merged into one, forming a lightning cone that flashed with electric light, and like piercing rotten wood, they drilled through the two blood shadows' bodies and stabbed into the blood-robed man.

The two blood shadows instantly dissipated in the thunderclap, and that layer of blood-colored light shield only paused the lightning cone for a moment before being pierced through like paper.

With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering boom, a bowl-thick blood hole appeared on the blood-robed man's chest.

The blood-robed man's pupils flashed with strange light, and he slapped his body repeatedly with both hands like turning wheels.

In one breath, he stuck over a dozen blood-colored talismans onto himself.

A strange situation occurred.

Despite such a large blood hole, no blood flowed from within; all the flesh and blood writhed at the edges and rapidly healed toward the center.

Seeing this, the white-haired beauty and Mu Qing relaxed their expressions. If the blood-robed man had truly been killed due to a momentary carelessness, the two of them alone could not withstand the two Nether Thunder Beasts for long.

But at this moment, the lightning cone circled behind the blood-robed man, then flashed and shot back.

This time, it was clearly aimed at the blood-robed man's head.

But before Mu Qing and her brother-in-law could intervene to block it, suddenly a black shadow flashed in the air—a purplish-red hand, like a palm-leaf fan, reached out and grabbed.

Although this hand was extraordinarily large, its movement was incredibly fast.

Only seen: after the giant hand blurred slightly, it flashed illusorily, seized the lightning cone in its grip, and held on tightly.

But the next moment, a loud roaring sound came from within the giant hand!

The lightning cone burst forth with countless electric lights, like silver snakes struggling free, and shot out from between the fingers.

After a few flashes, the lightning cone reached the two humanoid Nether Thunder Beasts, then flickered and split into two again, re-entering the tops of their heads, transforming into two silver-colored horns.

The two horns looked brilliantly silver; after the intense exchange just now, they appeared completely unharmed.

However, precisely because of this slight delay, the two beasts opposite had already completed activating their small flag and magic disk in front of them, then simultaneously opened their mouths, spraying two masses of essence blood that turned into blood mist onto the magical artifacts.

The small flag and magic disk flashed with light, absorbing the blood mist completely.

Then one transformed into a black cloud that shot up into the sky, and after a flicker, vanished without a trace from the top of the hall; while the magic disk fell downward, turning into a stream of white气 that sank into the ground.

Mu Qing and the white-haired beauty were startled in their hearts; before they could even think of immediately acting to entangle the two beasts again, a sudden change occurred!

Only seen: on the exquisite surface of the hall's ceiling above, spiritual light burst forth, and suddenly black-colored patterns appeared. They writhed like earthworms, rapidly moving and combining, and actually formed a huge, dark, mysterious magic array.

The entire magic array flashed with black light; at its center, it was deep and abyssal, with fierce winds howling, as if it had forcibly opened a passage to another space.

At the same time, the ground below also burst with white light; one by one, fist-sized runes emerged from underground. The originally trembling, buzzing green pool, at the moment the runes appeared, had its mist surge and revealed a large golden-colored magic array.

As this golden magic array emerged from the mist, it immediately covered the entire pool beneath it; and the golden light shimmered, making it impossible to look at directly.

Although it was unknown what lay beneath the pool covered by the array, the trembling and other abnormal conditions on the ground outside the pool vanished instantly in that moment.

Mu Qing and the white-haired beauty were naturally both startled and angry.

Although they certainly did not believe that the six-legged creature could be so easily trapped below, once this restriction was activated, obtaining the divine 'milk' in a short time was certainly impossible.

Moreover, the troublesome black 'color' light formation in the sky, in its frenzied expansion, enveloped several people below, and under the urging of the two beasts with fierce 'color' on their faces, Xu Xu slowly detached from the top of the hall and began to descend.

Thus, they either had to yield the airspace above the green pool, or they could only brace themselves and directly face this restriction.

"Daoist Mu, let us two join forces in a single strike to shatter this thing first. Brother Di Xue, you and that puppet, cover us for a moment." Just as Mu Qing hesitated slightly in her heart, the white-haired beauty's aged voice suddenly came through the blood ear.

After a turn of her thought, she nodded. It seemed there was no other way!

At the same time, the blood-robed person standing on the purple blood puppet also heard the same mental transmission.

At this moment, the large hole on his chest, which would be fatal to ordinary people, had mostly healed, except for his divine light in the eyes being somewhat dim, and he appeared to be in no serious condition.

Upon hearing the old 'lady's' mental transmission, the blood-robed person frowned, then swept his gaze downward to the purple blood puppet's large hand gripping the thunder awl.

Only then did one see that the inner side of its five fingers was actually completely scorched black, and a faint burnt smell could be detected.

After the blood-robed person let out a long breath, he also slowly nodded.

The one-legged creature suddenly tapped the purple blood puppet beneath its foot, then itself reached into its sleeve with one hand and threw out a golden 'color' wooden box.

As it chanted incantations and pointed a finger at it, the box lid instantly flew open, and seven escape lights of different 'color' shot out from within.

When the light faded, seven puppets of various forms were revealed.

These puppets included some in the shape of demonic beasts, some dressed as flying spirits, some half-human and half-demonic, and even two in the form of insect beasts—one resembling a giant earthworm, the other an enormously enlarged giant ant.

All seven of these puppets were refined from metallic materials, their surfaces covered with runes, clearly meticulously crafted by the Di Xue Laoguai.

Upon seeing this, the white-haired beauty let out a low laugh from her throat, her body spinning around, and from her person also flew out eight strands of black qi, each containing a blurred figure clad in black armor.

These were precisely the eight Yin Armor Ghost Kings that the beauty had stored away, who had been secretly recovering their vitality in the dark.

After the eight ghost kings appeared, without a word, they sat cross-legged around the white-haired beauty, and the black yin qi on their bodies surged out, instantly transforming into a black cloud the size of several mu.

On the other side, Mu Qing's body flickered, and her skin turned into a jade-green 'color'. With her hands forming seals, countless blue threads emerged and transformed.

In an instant, strange flowers and grasses appeared, flickering in and out of view around them, enveloping this woman within.

The two half-human, half-demonic Ming Lei beasts in the sky, at this moment, completely ignored the actions of the three below, merely flashing with spiritual light as they frenziedly urged the aerial formation.

They appeared completely confident in dealing with this restriction.

Seeing that both sides were truly about to engage in a life-or-death battle, Han Li, hiding in a corner, had a flicker in his divine 'color', his sleeve trembled, and more than a dozen green 'color' beads rolled into his palm. Then, with his eyes slightly narrowed, he glanced faintly toward another corner of the hall.

Over there, the green qi and the beads it wrapped finally began to move!
