The long road seems endless.
The black tide is boundless. Even if there are the firelights lit by the people in Fenxiang Valley ahead, it is still so dark that it is despairing, making it difficult to think of any resistance.
Resistance is futile anyway.
It would be better to lie down.
After all, lying down is also death, and resisting is also death. Since you can't choose your own way of dying, you can only choose to give up your futile efforts and just be quick.
This is the idea of Dharma.
This is also the same idea shared by the remaining Tianyin Temple disciples.
However, people are always greedy for life and afraid of death.
This is the nature of living things.
Unless they have some reason to die.
Tianyin Temple and others obviously had no such reason, let alone the tasks and hopes they carried; therefore, even if there was no hope, Faxiang and the other disciples of Tianyin Temple resolutely chose to resist to the end.
No one fled first.
On the one hand, it is because in this environment, choosing to escape alone is actually the easiest way to die, and it is also the easiest way to die.
On the other hand, it is because the tacit understanding and emotions cultivated in the same environment since childhood cannot be broken up by a few words.
Tianyin Temple and Qingyunmen are different.
After all, Qingyun Sect still has seven peaks and seven meridians.
There is little communication between each other's mountains.
The tacit understanding among the disciples is not high either.
Tianyin Temple only has one lineage, so there is no problem of trust and tacit understanding, nor is there any problem of the leader having difficulty convincing the crowd.
Therefore, before the collapse of the Dharma, Tianyin Temple's team was still quite intact. Even if they knew they were going to die, no one dared to escape privately, causing the formation to be damaged.
But the reality will not change because of the willpower of these disciples of Tianyin Temple.
Reality is reality.
If there is no chance of winning, no matter how stubborn the will is, it will eventually be a torch that will burn out and will no longer be able to ignite a spark.
Willpower determines when the dawn will come.
But the premise of all this is that there is still hope!
Therefore, after advancing for an unknown number of minutes, when the first ray of light fell on Faxiang's face, Faxiang looked behind him, and there were only three people left in Tianyin Temple.
Counting him, there are currently four people.
In other words, in this dangerous black tide, Tianyin Temple lost a total of four disciples, which can be regarded as a serious injury.
Fashan wiped the blood from his face.
By the way, I killed a few ants hanging on my body.
I couldn't tell whether the tears or blood hanging on my face were tears or blood. I knelt down and looked back at the road I had walked before and the black tide that was gradually moving away. I felt a mixture of sadness and joy and couldn't help but sob softly. .
Fashan's move made the remaining two disciples of Tianyin Temple feel sympathetic. Although Fashan could still control the distracting thoughts in his mind, he could not control the crying of the remaining two disciples.
The feeling of surviving the disaster is wonderful.
It would be even better if it wasn't damaged.
Therefore, Fa Xiang couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart for a while. He just turned his head hard and stopped looking at the road he had just broken through and the several junior brothers who were now kneeling on the ground and wailing.
Seeing this scene, although they had expected it and knew that Dongfang Yuan would not let it go, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley still looked at each other for a moment.
The pity and intolerance in each other's eyes instantly spread to the hearts of every disciple of Fenxiang Valley, and their emotions gradually became depressed. There was no longer the joyful feeling of breaking through the siege just now.
"The reason why we live is by fire."
"If our flames were normal flames..."
"Presumably at this moment, you may feel as sad for your dead brothers as they do, or you may burst into tears uncontrollably."
Yan Hong said softly.
Li Xun nodded silently.
All the disciples from Fenxiang Valley also nodded silently and did not answer this sensitive question, but everyone recognized this point of view in their hearts.
Didn't Tianyin Temple resist?
Of course he resisted.
Isn’t it true that some people think that Tianyin Temple can only stupidly hit ants with their fists?
Although Tianyin Temple specializes in physical training and its physical quality far exceeds that of the Qingyun Sect's disciples, it does not only cultivate the body but not the strength.
Regarding magic power, although the disciples of Tianyin Temple have no special skills, the magic power with the characteristics of suppression and ban is enough to match the physical fitness of Tianyin Temple disciples and lead a relatively complete path to immortality.
In addition, the disciples of Tianyin Temple also have magic weapons.
Therefore, when facing the black tide, the disciples of Tianyin Temple gave priority to erecting a layer of protective shield built with magic power, hoping to follow the people in Fenxiang Valley to rush out, and then sort out the ants on the protective shield.
It's wonderful to imagine.
But the reality is cruel.
The disciples of Tianyin Temple did not wait for the reality that the protective shield was crushed by layers of ants, but they waited for the fact that the first batch of ants chewed open the protective shield.
The failure of the first response method made the Tianyin Temple disciples panic for a moment, but only a moment later, the Tianyin Temple disciples regained their confidence again.
This time, they chose to use offensive methods to face the Black Tide.
This time the experiment was successful.
Facing the powerful and heavy Vajra, as well as various magic weapons that rely on weight but not magic power, the overwhelming black tide was indeed suppressed for a moment.
But it was only suppressed for a moment.
There are eight disciples in Tianyin Temple.
Even if one person wears two magic weapons, there are only sixteen magic weapons at most.
Even if these sixteen magic weapons are enlarged, they can only protect a certain range at most, and there are still weaknesses or loopholes in various senses.
Besides, ants are already very powerful.
At the same level, an ant can completely punch a person, and a punch with all its strength can kill a person on the spot.
Therefore, even though the magic weapons of Tianyin Temple were heavy enough, when the number of ants gradually increased, relying on the advantage of large numbers of people, Kuroshio quickly overthrew these magic weapons and officially sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
When weight cannot determine victory or defeat, and there are loopholes in the direction of protection, the death of the disciples of Tianyin Temple is officially announced.
The four Tianyin Temple disciples who died basically died in this way.
Mana isn't enough to fill the hole.
The control over the magic weapon is not strong.
The spell is not lethal enough.
The three together are the cause of death.
The Dharma image is fine.
On the one hand, this is because this mechanism was not designed to have much lethality when it was deployed. The symbolic significance is actually greater than the actual significance.
Because the Blood Refining Hall is famous for its large number of people.
It is not the individual that can cause harm.
Rather, it lies in the powerful formations of the Blood Refining Hall, coupled with the fact that the disciples of the Blood Refining Hall help each other and absolutely trust the quality of their teammates when necessary.
In a sense, it's exactly like an ant colony.
But after all, these ants were cultivated by Lu Yuan using the blood of the Black Water Black Snake. Psychic communication is the most basic, and their lethality is naturally not weak.
Although there are no rules in their actions, and unlike the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, which can use the power of hundreds or thousands of immortal cultivators to forcibly kill a Poison God, their opponents are not at the same level as the Poison God.
Facing a group of young people with the highest level of nine levels and the lowest level of four levels without much practical experience, many of them can be killed by just counting them.
However, the queen ant also knows.
Their mission is to give the other party a showdown.
Therefore, after a wave of horizontal push, the queen ants who were gathering in the ground did not chase them, but directly issued the order to retreat. This saved Tianyinji and others from being chased all the way. Condition.
However, because the number was too large, even though the ant colony had begun to retreat, in the eyes of people like Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley, the black tide had only moved away, not disappeared.
Everyone in Fenxiang Valley expressed their disapproval of Qingyun Sect, which was in the midst of a dark tide.
The Dharma minister of Tianyin Temple also agrees with this view.
It's just that the Dharma minister of Tianyin Temple simply believed that all the people in Qingyun Sect were dead, while the disciples of Fenxiang Valley believed that Qingyun Sect would not suffer any casualties. At most, they would only be slightly injured and look miserable. Just a few.
After all, their young master Dongfang Yuan had made his attitude clear before his official appearance, trying to take care of the people of Qingyun Sect instead of taking care of the people of Tianyin Temple.
Therefore, the loss of Qingyunmen must be smaller than the loss of Tianyin Temple.
It's just that we don't know what trump card Dongfang Yuan left for the people of Qingyun Sect, and how many people in Qingyun Sect can survive with this trump card.
But the answer will soon be revealed.
The black tide gradually receded.
The Dharma Prime Minister's eyes gradually became dull.
The three remaining disciples of Tianyin Temple could not help but widen their eyes, just like everyone in Fenxiang Valley at this moment, their expressions were exactly the same.
Faxiang's lips trembled unconsciously.
What did he see?
He actually saw eight Qingyun Sect disciples!
It's not too late!
There was no blood on these eight Qingyun Sect disciples, and there was no mucus left after the ants were crushed. Instead, they were wearing clean clothes, talking and laughing as they walked out of the black tide, and walked towards them step by step. .
To be honest, not only Fa Xiang was confused, but any uninformed person would be confused when they saw this scene, including the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.
They hold special flames.
Burning mountains and boiling seas, everything is invincible.
But even so, as the forward of the entire team, he was under a lot of pressure. Although he was not injured, the consumption of mana cannot be ignored.
And what about the people from Qingyun Sect?
Walking slowly.
Did you really think you were here for an outing?
Let’s not talk about whether there are blood stains or stains. Just talking about the calmness and calmness of his expression is extremely disrespectful to those ants with big fangs!
However, when everyone from Qingyun Sect came forward, the people from Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple discovered that not all people in Qingyun Sect were injured.
Tian Ling'er from Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Gate had her hands wrapped in a circle of gauze. A faint red color appeared faintly on the outer layer of gauze. Apparently, even the outermost layer of gauze was not dyed through.
But this is even more unacceptable to the Dharma!
It was enough for them to fight life and death the year before last.
As long as there is no damage to Qingyun Gate.
The skills are not as good as the people, there is nothing to say.
But we were fighting to the death in the front, and four of our brothers died before we barely escaped. You were slightly injured in the back and you still had time to bandage it?
Even leisurely, tying the knot on the gauze into a bow?
Although the people from the Qingyun Sect didn't speak, Fa Xiang still felt waves of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, as if he was going to be burned to death.
Fa Xiang naturally couldn't conceal such an excited emotion, not to mention that at this juncture, Fa Xiang also felt that there was no need to hide it.
Therefore, with this burst of anger, he stood in front of everyone in Qingyun Sect with two big steps, blocked the way of Lu Xueqi and others, and asked coldly:
"Since you have the ability to pass without any damage, why do you use it silently and don't tell the fellow Taoists in Fenxiang Valley and our Tianyin Temple about this method?"
"Do you know that because of your actions of not reporting the matter, four of my junior brothers died in this black tide?"
“There are no bones left!
! "
"Tell me, why are you so selfish?!"
"This time you tricked my four junior brothers to death, will you trick me or the fellow Taoists in Fenxiang Valley next time?"
"And how do you have a way to get through this black tide?"
"Are you... colluding with the devil?!"
The Dharma Prime Minister shouted sharply.
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
He raised his hand and fanned away the unpleasant smell.
At the same time, he took a step back, and after confirming that he kept a safe distance from the Dharma, he stood on the spot and said calmly:
"How do we know?"
"If we really know, there is no need for Junior Sister Tian Linger to be injured, and there is no need for us to be at the back. We don't even have a comrade who can provide support!"
"If I have to say it, maybe his spirit in heaven protects us."
"In short, if we really colluded with the devil, you would never be able to stand here now, let alone speak so powerfully now!"
"I understand the feelings of fellow Taoist Faxiang."
"Because not long ago, I personally killed a Qingyun traitor. I think I should be able to understand the heart-breaking feeling."
"But it is precisely because of this that Taoist friends should control their emotions and not impose things that have never happened before on others just because of impulse!"
At the end of Lu Xueqi's words, her aura became sharper, and there was a sense of contradiction between her actions and the anger of Fa Xiang.
This sharp sense of contradiction made even the people in Fenxiang Valley, as bystanders, feel a little numb.
There may be many reasons for the occurrence of a conflict.
But there is always only one core point in a conflict.
The current conflict between Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple is mainly due to the huge psychological gap between Dharma and Immortality, and they are unable to accept the reality for a while, so they make impulsive actions.
If it were normal, Dharma would never do this.
But now, whenever Fa Xiang thinks about the fact that he took the lead but lost four junior brothers, while the Qingyun Sect remained intact without fighting for it, he will feel an unspeakable depression filling his heart, which is difficult to let go.
But this has nothing to do with Dongfangyuan.
After closing the lid of the kettle and handing it to Yan Hong beside him, Dongfang Yuan stood up calmly, walked in front of the Fenxiang Valley disciples, and unleashed indiscriminate pressure on the Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect in front of them. .
The sun is in different phases in the sky, slowly unfolding.
In just an instant, the coercion of the second level and the first level, combined with the strange appearance of the sun in the sky, suppressed all the people who were arguing in place, and no more sound could be heard.
"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven."
"First, I hope you won't quarrel."
"When you embark on this journey, you should be mentally prepared to die in battle one day. Although most people are pursuing immortality, if someone is not mentally prepared, it can only be said that this person died unjustly. .”
"So just look away."
"Arguing over this reason is not a funny joke. It will not only destroy the stability of the team, but also reduce the probability of everyone's survival."
"So, I don't want you to argue."
"Secondly, I hope you will stay sensible."
"Don't throw the blame that shouldn't be passed on, and don't throw the blame that shouldn't be thrown at others; no one needs to coddle you, and you don't have any reason to be tolerated. That's the fact. We can't accept that it's your personal fault." thing."
"But just because you can't accept the fact, it won't become something you can accept. No one is qualified to change the destined facts, including our geniuses."
"So, as to why the Qingyun Sect can survive, you can suspect that the Qingyun Sect has any special spells or secrets that cannot be told; but it is best not to use the word colluding with the devil to impose some definitions on some people."
"Everything is changing."
"Today's Blood Refining Hall is not the Blood Refining Hall of the past."
"If you think you don't need to be responsible for speaking, then you can boldly try this idea, and then screen your own death methods within the scope of the rules."
"I believe the people at the Blood Refining Hall will take good care of you."
"Because they hate the title of demon sect demon."
Having said this, Dongfang Yuan nodded slightly.
He snapped his fingers and added:
"If you agree with what I say, you can just stand still; if you don't agree with what I say, you can move around casually."
"If you are not satisfied, I can let him go."
"How you go is your problem."
"Anyway, if something happens, it has nothing to do with me!"
"I'll count to three."
"You can take a stand now."
Dongfang Yuan raised a finger: "One."
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly and looked at Dongfang Yuan with some confusion, her eyes flickering slightly, and that vague sense of familiarity made her very unconfident.
The appearance of the Dharma is that the face turns red.
After stimulating his magic power, he still couldn't break free from this feeling of restraint, so he could only stare at Dongfang Yuan with strong dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Dongfang Yuan raised his second finger: "Two."
After realizing that he couldn't break free, Fa Xiang gradually calmed down. He glanced at the junior brothers beside him with his peripheral vision, and the anger in his heart gradually weakened.
He has no right to resist.
There is no ability to resist.
Even though he knew that this was an insult from Dongfang Yuanlai, the young master of Fenxiang Valley, he had to hold his nose and endure it due to the fact.
After all, he was not qualified to protest in front of a genius. Even if he was a genius, facing these geniuses would still be a problem that could be solved with one move.
In a sense, the fist is everything.
Therefore, when Dongfang Yuan counted to three, withdrew the pressure and withdrew the alien phase, Fa Xiang did not act impulsively, but stood there panting heavily, glanced at the status of everyone in Qingyun Sect, and immediately snorted coldly. .
certainly.
The reason why Fa Xiang behaved so badly was mainly because he had experienced a big battle before, and his physical strength and mana were severely consumed.
Faced with Dongfang Yuan's lack of martial ethics, he naturally acted weakly.
The Qingyunmen side is much better.
Except for Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu, the two with the worst cultivation levels, who were struggling, the rest of the Qingyun Sect disciples quickly adjusted themselves.
Not red in the face, out of breath.
Let Fa Xiangqing grind his teeth involuntarily.
Having just experienced a big battle, it was natural to take a period of rest, but considering that the longer the rest was, the more dangerous the situation would be, Dongfang Yuan still did not leave much rest time for everyone.
After resting for half an hour, they started marching again.
"In terms of direction."
"When we broke through just now, we kept heading in the direction of entering the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave. Therefore, although we don't know how far we are from the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave, we are definitely in the right direction."
"Judging from the current environment, including the deeds and identities engraved on these tombstones, we can also judge that we are approaching the core area."
"It's unclear what's in the core area."
"However, in terms of difficulty, it will never be lower than the previous insect wave. It may be some mechanisms, some spells that have been prepared long ago, or monsters that have been tamed by people."
"According to his identity, although he has become a Qingyun traitor, if nothing else happens, he will still be buried in the core area here."
"This cemetery is circular."
"According to calculations, the core area can at best be standing in the center and drawing a circle with a radius of sixty meters, which is roughly this range."
"So, overall it's not hard to find."
"But finding and taking away are actually two concepts."
"I don't believe it when you say there is no waker here."
Dongfang Yuan stood in front of a stone tablet, stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the floating dust on it, glanced at the life story on the stone tablet, and then explained to the people behind him.
Hearing this, Tian Linger's eyes brightened slightly, and she asked almost impatiently: "If we really find it, is taking it away still a problem?"
"Common sense, no."
Dongfangyuan responded in the affirmative.
But soon, the conversation changed.
"But as it stands, it's very possible."
"In this world, new spells are created all the time. Even if many of them are fragmentary ideas, this cannot be denied."
"Not every spell has a method that can be cracked. Whether it is our spells or his Ten Thousand Magic Domain, in a sense, they are all spells that cannot be cracked."
"Therefore, I am just afraid that someone will do something to his tombstone. Even if there is no danger, you will see it but not be able to take it away."
Hearing this, Tian Linger hesitated slightly.
Lin Jingyu asked:
"Is it a defensive spell?"
"Like a mountain-protecting formation?"
Dongfang Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
He shook his head and looked ahead.
"I can only say that your thinking is too simple."
"What limits us is no longer our vision, but our cultivation."
"Look ahead!"
"If you have good eyesight, you should be able to find the tombstone engraved with his life story, but from what I have observed so far..."
"You can't even walk across!"
"Ten meters!"
"The distance can be reached in an instant!"
"But if you can touch his tombstone ten meters away and across this short distance of ten meters, you can naturally take him away from here!"
Saying that, Dongfang Yuan sighed.
"But it's a pity that you can't do it!"
"Me too, I can't do it either!"
"If you don't believe it, you can try it."
"Including using various means to try to get close."
Hearing this, everyone present followed Dongfang Yuan's gaze and landed on two of the five tombstones with writing on them in a row.
"It's junior brother!"
Tian Linger sniffed hard.
He barely stopped the tears that were rolling in his eyes.
Immediately forgetting what Dongfang Yuan had just said, he tapped his toes and rushed out, rushing towards one of the tombstones like an arrow missing from the string.
Immediately...
A firm and intimate contact with the space barrier...
