Chapter 92: Heavily Injured, One Percent Power
"Cough, cough, cough..." Qian Chen couldn't help but cough a few times. The chill of the Ice Soul cold light penetrated his lungs, leaving little color on his face. Perhaps it was because he moved his breath while speaking, which made him unable to help but cough violently, and a sickly crimson even appeared on his face.
Daoists are immune to all diseases, and showing such a sickly state showed that Qian Chen's condition was truly bad.
He panted for a while and said to Ning Qingchen: "Miss Ning, go up to the roof beam and take down a magic mirror!"
Ning Qingchen stood on her tiptoes, lightly borrowed force from the nearby corridor pillar, and nimbly darted to the roof beam like a spirit cat. She carefully groped for a while before turning down with the spirit light treasure mirror. Just as she was about to hand the treasure mirror to Qian Chen, she was waved away by Qian Chen: "I was plotted against by that demon and can only use the cold air to suppress an evil object on my body, unable to use magic power. I will tell you the magic formula for refining this mirror... you operate it!"
Ning Qingchen nodded slightly and, according to Qian Chen's guidance, roughly refined the Spirit Light Mirror.
After a while of regulating her breath, she flipped her plain hand, and the Spirit Light Treasure Mirror shone with a burst of mirror light, reflecting the inside and outside of this ancient Lanruo temple in minute detail. Even the soil several feet deep underground was exceptionally transparent in the glazed light. In the mirror light, outside Lanruo Temple, dozens of things with blue-green bodies that didn't look like living people were surrounding them.
"Are these walking corpses?"
Seeing those ghostly things walking staggeringly and very sluggishly, with faint green light appearing in their eyes, Ning Qingchen frowned slightly and said: "There isn't even an iron corpse, and they are counting on these filthy things to test us?"
Qian Chen sneered: "Corpse worms and corpses are inseparable. These corpses are just a cover; the things inside are the real killers."
After saying this, he let Ning Qingchen focus the mirror light on a walking corpse. The spirit light penetrated the flesh and blood, and through the stiff, blue-black flesh and blood of the walking corpse, it illuminated its internal organs. It turned out that the abdominal cavity of the walking corpse was already empty. Where were there any internal organs? There was only a fox corpse covered in white hair, curled into a ball, hiding inside.
The fox corpse bared its fangs, its whole body as hard as iron. Under the white fur was a corpse body like solid iron. It was exactly a heteromorphic iron corpse.
"That's more like it..." Ning Qingchen's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and the spirit light of the treasure mirror moved back to the corpse group that was surrounding Lanruo Temple. She nodded and said: "Hiding a corpse within a corpse, suddenly attacking, can indeed cause us a little trouble. If I were those people, I would definitely hide another hand in one of the walking corpses. After testing our reality, the killer would suddenly attack, and they would take the opportunity to kill out... adding three points of murderous intent."
"Now that their methods have been seen through by us, what's next? Should we wait for them to enter the urn, or should we take the initiative to kill these walking corpses so that they dare not commit crimes again?" Ning Qingchen was asking Qian Chen and the other two.
At this time, Yan Shu and Qian Chen's opinions were surprisingly unified. Yan Shu sneered: "Why let them go? Why wait passively for them to come to the door? Kill all these walking corpses first, and then find those scoundrels behind them and kill them with one sword."
Qian Chen nodded: "Mere left-leaning scoundrels, why invite them into the urn? Since they are testing, they must have eye-line methods. First find their methods of peeping at us... remove the root... cough, cough, cough... these skin-itch troubles will naturally be solved!"
Hearing this answer full of murderous intent, Ning Qingchen also raised her eyebrows slightly. Clearly, the two's style of doing things was quite to her taste.
"Ear Dao God!" Qian Chen summoned the little bean-sized person hidden in his neck and pointed to the Spirit Light Mirror: "Use your spiritual sense to find out what else is strange about that walking corpse!"
The Ear Dao God flew out quickly. It actually had no physical body, and passing through walls and hiding was just ordinary. Its best skill was peeping at the reality of qi machines, and within a certain range, it could even sense good or bad luck. The mirror light of the Spirit Light Mirror locked onto this little thing. The Ear Dao God circled a walking corpse three times and suddenly drilled into its ear hole.
The mirror light also followed deep into the walking corpse's skull, only to see a slender red worm hiding behind the turbid eyeballs of the walking corpse.
"Sure enough, it's using gu worms to peep at reality."
Yan Shu said: "Break the aperture and take the gu. I will lock onto this person with the method of qi machine traction. Later, I will enter the meditative state with my spirit, and the sword pill will fly out. As long as he is within a thousand miles, I will surely cut off his head and return."
Qian Chen shook his head: "Brother Yan, you are currently the best-preserved combat power among us. If the spirit enters the meditative state, the physical body lacks protection. Zhi Qiu is heavily injured and not yet healed, and the magic power I can use is less than one percent. This is too risky. If the enemy takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will be bad."
Qian Chen thought for a moment before looking up: "Wait for me to regulate my breath for a while, use the cold air to temporarily freeze the physical body, and with one percent of my power, enter the meditative state with my spirit, and control the sword to kill the enemy."
Ning Qingchen frowned slightly: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
She stood up and said: "Fellow Daoist Qian only has one percent of magic power left, so you should still focus on your own injuries. And killing the corpse to take the gu will inevitably alarm the person who came. At that time, that person's methods will be activated in advance, and they will be more vigilant, losing the advantage of knowing the enemy first. Master Feng?" She turned to ask the large yellow chicken beside her, but the spirit chicken was staring at Qian Chen with glowing eyes.
Ning Qingchen didn't expect that 'Master Feng,' who had always been reliable and steady, would make such accidents today.
Qian Chen smiled: "If this chicken fellow Daoist can get rid of this person, I won't be stingy with spirit pills."
As soon as he finished speaking, the large yellow chicken flew away in a yellow light and disappeared before their eyes in an instant. Yan Shu turned to look at the Spirit Light Mirror beside him, only to see the large yellow chicken flapping its wings, which looked a bit short because it was too burly, and its speed was extremely fast, pulling out a blurred afterimage in the Spirit Light Mirror.
The yellow chicken flew past extremely quickly to outside the mountain gate of Lanruo Temple, and one claw stepped directly on the head of the walking corpse.
Then, before the slow movements of the walking corpse and the manipulator behind it could react, it lowered its head and pecked so quickly.
A blood hole the size of a fist appeared in the eye socket of the walking corpse.
The yellow chicken held a red corpse worm in its mouth, flew back to the great hall where Qian Chen and the others were extremely quickly, and swallowed the corpse worm on the way just like eating an earthworm. Qian Chen clearly saw that the claw and the peck were both extremely sharp sword techniques.
The claw on the head of the walking corpse used exquisite force, destroying the coordination of the whole body of the walking corpse with no more than the strength of a chicken. Under that claw, whether it was the walking corpse or the corpse fox in the walking corpse's belly, the physical body was sour and soft, the vitality was scattered, and it was difficult to move. Then that peck was even more clean and neat, with a sword intent pointing directly at life.
Yan Shu was also dumbfounded... In terms of the sharpness of sword intent, his sword technique was indeed magnificent, but in terms of being clean and neat, it might not be as good as this large yellow chicken.
"Master Feng?" Qian Chen secretly slandered: "This sword immortal girl's sword technique, wouldn't it be taught by this chicken?"
At this time, the large yellow chicken had already stood on the eaves of the great hall, raised its neck and crowed toward the rising sun in the east...
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
The rooster crows and the world turns white...
This crowing sound was like a sound that pierced through gold and stone, with the sound of splitting mountains and rocks, spreading far away. In the distance, an old man with a large meat tumor on his neck, who was hiding in a large banyan tree and casting spells, and who seemed to have two heads, suddenly screamed. The meat tumor on his neck suddenly burst, and pus and blood flowed out. There were also some small worms the size of rice grains crawling in the blood.
The sound of the yellow chicken crowing was like a divine sword clanging, carrying a solemn sword intent.
Ning Qingchen had already merged and flew out, rushing out of the great hall. Between her sword light crisscrossing, she left behind golden sword energy that tore through the sky. These sword energy were differentiated from sword light, but they were not like Yan Shu's, where the differentiated sword light also had a physical body. Instead, they were manifested by borrowing the light of the great sun, and they were all virtual sword energy, like a meteor shower, covering the sky and earth, rushing toward the desolate mountains and wild ridges outside Lanruo Temple.
The sword qi swooped down, traversing the sea of trees. This vast forest near Heavenly Evil Peak stretched for hundreds of miles, and giant trees that one person could embrace were everywhere. As the sword qi crisscrossed, countless branches and leaves were cut down. With a light shout from Ning Qingchen, they poured into a large banyan tree one after another.
Countless sword qi turned into terrifying rays of light and slashed in succession. The old man in the banyan tree had already disappeared.
The continuous sword qi only slashed on a meat tumor the size of a person. The meat tumor was pierced by the sword qi and burst open, and countless pus and blood flew out from it. When they landed, they turned into dense gu worms, rushing toward the left and right. Often, with just one fall, they sucked dry the vitality of that place. The banyan tree trunk withered and collapsed, but more gu worms flew out from it than before.
At this time, the endless light of the great sun turned into pieces of sword feathers and fell down. Every ray of sunlight turned into sword qi, piercing through this forest sea without any holes. The frantically multiplying gu worms faced the sword feather light sea and only struggled stubbornly for a few breaths before being extinguished in the sword qi.
Only the old man who used the gu escaped with the meat tumor, not knowing where he was hiding.
Ning Qingchen's figure was also hidden in the sword qi transformed by the endless sunlight...
Qian Chen looked up at the direction where she was, looking like he had opened his eyes for a while, and sighed: "The sword qi is like feathers expanding, bluffing. The real killer is in one sword... like a peck."
"Her sword technique is actually really learned from a chicken!"
Suddenly, in the sword qi light sea, a swift and unparalleled sword light pierced out. This sword light touched and returned, just flashing past.
It sank into the ground where the banyan tree was rooted...
The gray-clothed old man who was hiding a hundred feet underground only felt a sharp sword qi penetrate him. His eyes went black, and he lost consciousness. After a long time, the insects in his body slowly crawled out, devouring his essence and blood. In the dark underground, the old man's corpse gradually turned into a pool of pus and merged into the surrounding soil.
As early as when Ning Qingchen found where the old man was hiding, the group of corpses had already rioted and broke into Lanruo Temple.
Yan Shu blocked the hall door, and the sword pill turned into spirit light and crisscrossed. Often with one sword, he could kill the walking corpse together with the demon fox in its body. At this time, countless thunder fires suddenly sprayed from outside the great hall of Lanruo Temple, breaking through the doors, windows, and walls, and spilled into the great hall. Yan Shu's sword light flashed, and countless sword shadows slashed on the yin thunder before the thunder fire burst.
That sword light had its own mystery, making the thunder light extinguish silently before it exploded.
And at this time, a walking corpse outside the great hall suddenly split open. A dwarf like a child with a fierce look on his face rolled on the ground. The escape method was activated, bringing up yellow light, and he was about to break into the great hall. He pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the vicious magic was about to be issued. It was the corpse qi in the walking corpse, accumulating corpse into thunder. Once detonated, it could turn into poison thunder. Not only was the power great, but it could also cover the iron corpse fox ghost inside...
Qian Chen, who was pale and heavily injured in the great hall, suddenly moved his eyes away from the Spirit Light Mirror.
At this time, the golden sand under the dwarf child suddenly rolled, countless golden lights flowed, and the coarse golden sand instantly ground away the dwarf's body-protecting magic. Amidst his terrified screams, in an instant, his bones and flesh turned into mud, and then into ash.
Qian Chen seemed to be affected by the chill in his body and coughed violently again.
He sighed faintly: "I only have one percent of my power left, so I can't help much! I can only clean up some small fish and kill two left-leaning people who haven't formed a Golden Core!" ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
