Chapter 426: Jade Slip Nine Songs

"I warned you earlier, but you wouldn't listen. Do you know how dangerous it is now?" Chen Yu couldn't help but glance at him; this guy really wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall.

"What do we do now?" Huang Yiqiang took out his phone and discovered there was no signal at all.

"What else can we do? We have to force our way through." Chen Yu stared ahead.

"Hehe, kid, I was careless last time, which is why you took advantage of me. This time, I have made full preparations. This house of yours has already been isolated by me. Let's see if you have the ability to escape."

A figure flashed, and an old monk walked over slowly. His form was flickering and uncertain, appearing to be nothing more than a phantom.

This old monk was none other than Wuding, with whom they had already crossed paths once. His form was ethereal and hazy; it was not his true body that had appeared.

"The place we are in now is shrouded by an Array, and the Yin energy is very strong. If you stay here too long, your souls will be pulled away and you will die." With Lichen in hand, Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice: "I will now forcibly break open a passage; you two leave."

"But what about you?" Xia Tian asked anxiously.

"I'll stay behind to play with him." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"No, I can't leave you behind." Xia Tian disagreed.

"Go find your grandfather; he is likely in danger now too," Chen Yu said. "Don't worry, I will come over once I have dealt with this demon monk."

"Xia Tian, listen to Chen Yu. We won't be able to help him here; instead, we will only drag him down." Huang Yiqiang walked forward: "You must get out, otherwise all the efforts made before will have been in vain."

"Get ready." Chen Yu let out a loud shout. He gripped Lichen tightly with both hands, and Sword Intent surged upon Lichen.

He sank his True Qi and slashed forward with his sword.

With a loud boom, Lichen emitted a scorching Sword Qi, and a passage was forcibly broken open.

"Now is the time, go!" Chen Yu shouted, holding Lichen.

"Chen Yu, take care of yourself. I will come back immediately after I find someone," Xia Tian shouted. Huang Yiqiang pulled him and forcibly took him away.

Putting away Lichen, the passage before them vanished, and a curtain of heavy black energy descended, once again isolating this place from the outside.

"Not bad, you've got some skills. To think you could break my Array and forcibly open a passage to let them leave." A cold, sinister laugh came from the side.

Wuding walked forward slowly. He stared at Chen Yu and said: "Kid, are you really a Dharma Cultivator?"

"What do you think?" Chen Yu pointed with Lichen in his hand: "If you have the guts, show yourself. This kind of illusion array has no effect on me."

"I have also discovered this problem. Your Mental Power is unusually firm and strong, so the illusion array is useless against you. But as you said, my Array can forcibly strip your soul from your body."

"The longer you stay inside, the weaker your Primordial Qi will become. Sooner or later, you will be refined within it," Wuding said with a chuckle.

"But you can't wait that long, can you?" Chen Yu smiled: "You have to kill me with your own hands to vent the hatred in your heart."

"That's right, I can't wait." Wuding's body gradually solidified. His true body finally appeared. He walked slowly to Chen Yu and said: "Your Soul Consciousness is very strong. It would be quite nice to refine you into my Yin Servant."

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Chen Yu pointed Lichen forward: "Come at me."

"Haha, do you know, Chen Yu? The more arrogant a person is, the more miserably they die." Wuding laughed loudly. He formed a Buddhist Hand Seal with both hands and let out a loud shout.

A Buddhist Bead at his neck suddenly surged, and with a hum, it attacked Chen Yu.

Suddenly, the Buddhist Bead in mid-air condensed into a Skull, flying toward Chen Yu with bared fangs and brandished claws.

A Blood Skull, which eats human brains and sucks their essence and blood. As long as it gets close, a person's vital energy and spirit will soon be sucked clean.

Chen Yu retreated a few steps. The Blood Skull followed him like a shadow. It opened its mouth wide and sucked toward Chen Yu from a distance.

Chen Yu frowned. With his Cultivation, even from several meters away, he felt as if his blood and energy were dissipating. It seemed this guy Wuding's Cultivation was very close to the Primordial Qi Realm, and the path he followed was extremely sinister; one might fall into his trap if not careful.

But upon encountering this thing, it had to be dealt with immediately; otherwise, if one were not careful, it might sneakily attack from behind.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu did not retreat but advanced instead. He quickly moved forward a few steps and slashed at the Blood Skull with Lichen in his hand.

With a loud boom, the Skull floating in mid-air shattered, but Wuding formed a seal with his hands, and several more Buddhist Beads slowly took the form of Skulls in mid-air.

"Chen Yu, this is inside my Great Array, so I am in charge of everything here." Wuding laughed loudly: "I will wear you down until you die."

He waved his hands, and five or six Blood Skulls surged toward Chen Yu again.

Chen Yu tightened his grip on Lichen and rushed forward. Lichen's Sword Qi crisscrossed in his hand, and several streaks of Sword Qi intersected, shattering all the Skulls in mid-air.

However, Chen Yu felt somewhat restless. He had roughly understood Wuding's methods: his Cultivation was average, but his endless tricks were emerging one after another.

He understood Xia Guoqiang's intention; Wuding had come here only to stall him, so that Xia Guoqiang could deal with Xia Tian personally.

As long as he stalled until Xia Guoqiang caught Xia Tian, then he had already won this struggle. If anything happened to Xia Tian, it would be of no use even if Chen Yu broke out of the Array and killed Xia Guoqiang.

"Haha, do you really think your friends are safe just because they got out?" Wuding gave a sinister laugh: "There are more people waiting for them outside."

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and dozens more Buddhist Beads appeared in mid-air. He chanted True Incantations rapidly, and for a time, the surrounding sounds were chaotic, like the chanting of countless gods and demons.

Dozens of Buddhist Beads rotated slowly in mid-air, and the character 'Wan' lit up on the Buddhist Beads.

*Puff*, a Buddhist Bead suddenly rushed forward. Because it was so fast, it left a trail of transparent light in mid-air.

*Ding*, Chen Yu slashed with Lichen. His hand went numb, and he retreated several steps.

A scroll of books appeared in Wuding's hand. The book was made of Jade, and Spiritual Light surged.

He chuckled and said: "Your Cultivation is not bad. In a one-on-one fight, I admit I cannot beat you, but my Dharma Artifact 'Jade Slip Nine Songs' is a rare treasure. Do you think you can withstand it?"

As he spoke, his right hand pointed at the book. Countless profound seal characters floated up from the Jade Slips and attached themselves to the Buddhist Beads in mid-air. In an instant, dozens of Buddhist Beads lit up one by one and sped toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu let out a loud shout and swung Lichen, creating a flash of light to protect himself.

*Puff, puff, puff*, the Buddhist Beads, empowered by the countless Dharma Artifacts, struck Lichen. Lichen trembled incessantly. Chen Yu's figure swayed, and he retreated slowly. The floor beneath his feet shattered with a *crack*.

"Not bad, you can withstand the attack of the Jade Slip Nine Songs, but how long can you hold on?" Wuding laughed loudly. He flipped the Jade Slip in his hand, and with a hum, a streak of Spiritual Light surged out and struck Chen Yu.

With the Jade Slip Nine Songs combined with the Buddhist Beads, Chen Yu could not withstand a full-force attack.

Just at this moment, a flash of Spiritual Light suddenly appeared, and a butterfly glowing with blue light appeared in mid-air.

In this instant, everything in the world seemed to stop. Only this butterfly was slowly flapping its wings. Its deep blue wings shimmered with flowing light in the darkness, looking extremely beautiful.

"Who is it? To think you would break into my Wuding Barrier?" Wuding was startled. It was impossible for this thing to be inside his Great Array; this butterfly's appearance was too bizarre.

As soon as he finished speaking, the butterfly spread its wings and suddenly changed. With a *whoosh*, the Spirit Butterfly turned into a streak of light and drilled into Wuding's chest.

Wuding let out a muffled groan. He staggered back a few steps, and the Jade Slip Nine Songs in his hand fell to the ground.

And Chen Yu also had a moment to catch his breath. Now is the time.

He lifted Lichen in his hand and shook it. *Clatter*, the Buddhist Beads attacking him shattered completely. He rushed forward rapidly, dragging Lichen behind him.

A residual image flashed, and his figure crossed paths with Wuding.

Wuding's expression was horrified; a line of blood welled up on his neck, he covered his neck with both hands, fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, and died from lack of breath.

Once Wuding was dead, his Great Array was broken.

Chen Yu was covered in cold sweat; he had underestimated the enemy just now, and he had not expected this guy to actually possess such a powerful Dharma Artifact.

If not for the help of an expert, he would have been in great danger this time.

He called out loudly, "Which expert has offered their help? Please appear so I may see you."

The voice traveled far away, but no one responded.

"Many thanks." Seeing that no one responded in the surroundings, Chen Yu cupped his hands in a salute, grabbed the Jade slip Nine Songs from the ground, and left quickly.

Xia Tian is likely in danger now; since the other party has no intention of appearing to meet, he will not force it, as saving Xia Tian is the most important thing.

After Chen Yu left, a figure flashed, and Ye Xinyu appeared; she watched Chen Yu's departing back, her face devoid of sorrow or joy.
