Shen Qian's eyes stung, and a sense of confusion arose in his mind. He didn't dare to look anymore, so he quickly closed his eyes and observed the blue bead in his hand from the perspective of his clone.
After a while, Shen Qian was very sure that this bead was the source of those mysterious lines on the surface of Zhu Yan's body.
Not only that, Shen Qian also made other discoveries. The patterns on the beads seemed to come from the same source as those carved on the previous altar, and they were surprisingly similar in some places.
"Is this bead the product of Zhu Yan himself, or was it acquired in some way?"
Shen Qian touched his chin, leaning more towards the latter.
From the style point of view, the altar is a typical human building, and it does not look like it was built by Zhu Yan. Moreover, although the ancient demon is extremely talented, formations have always been a knowledge exclusive to the human race. If this ancient beast can still form formations, then That’s too ridiculous.
But what's the use of holding the beads by yourself?
Shen Qian was a little confused.
He couldn't even look directly at the bead, let alone use it for his own use.
After thinking for a while, Shen Qian suddenly had an idea and thought of another use for the blue soul bead (self-named).
The patterns on the soul beads are related to mental power, and they are obviously of a very high level. Although they cannot be directly controlled, they can be used to hone mental power.
The principle is the same as the "Hunyuan God Refining Chapter" that has been abandoned by Shen Qian, using the blue soul bead as the object of visualization in his mind.
As long as you can grasp the scale correctly, this method of training is far better than step-by-step training.
"It seems possible to have a system to protect you from losing control..."
Shen Qian thought about it for a moment, and then put the soul pearl into the space crystal. Seeing that there was nothing missing around him, Shen Qian didn't waste any time, and his body turned into a rainbow and disappeared into the distance.
…
On the charred ground, there were more than a dozen grotesque corpses standing here.
They kept running forward, their bodies tilted, and their backs had been burned to ashes, but their fronts remained somewhat intact, and some of their original faces could still be vaguely recognized.
Shen Qian fell from the sky and landed near these corpses.
"According to my perception, the 'door' is nearby, but what is the situation with these people?"
Shen Qian looked around and saw no trace of the "door". He frowned and turned to check the condition of the corpses.
There is a woman at the front. If you only look at the front, you can see that she maintains an excellent figure. After the carbonized clothes peel off, the front and back are curved. Her skin is white, but the back is terrible, and only one part of her body has been burned. Layers of skin and flesh.
As one of the few strong women in the Shanhai Team, Shen Qian knew this woman nicknamed "Bai Xue", but only just.
Contacting the previous scene, it was not difficult for Shen Qian to guess what this scene was about.
Although these strong men from the Shanhai team escaped earlier than Shen Qian, the power of the star collision was so powerful that even if it was partially offset by Zhu Yan, the spreading shock wave still took away the lives of these strong men from the Shanhai team.
"The only strange thing is that they were not far from the 'door', and they were only so close to escaping, but they failed at the last moment."
Shen Qian was a little confused.
He expanded the search area and found many human-like stumps from the scorched earth for several kilometers around.
After piecing it together, there are at least forty or fifty warriors from the mountains and seas who died here.
"completely annihilated?"
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, when he and Zhu Yan were fighting, there were probably only so many strong men from the mountains and seas still alive.
What about Xu Nian?
Although some of the corpses could not be identified clearly, Shen Qian intuitively felt that Xu Nian could not die so easily. He was a figure who had survived being chased by top princes.
Shen Qian was about to continue searching for the location of the "door" and planned to leave the wilderness first. Suddenly, a warning sign appeared in his heart. He activated "Transformation" completely instinctively and appeared a hundred meters away in an instant.
Where Shen Qian stood before, a strange black lotus bloomed, and the space collapsed. The gaps in the dark space spread like branches and vines, swallowing up everything.
"Hey, Nine Star Body Technique...Tsk, tsk, you have so many tricks. Even the falling stars can't kill you. Shen Qian, you are really a tough guy with teeth!"
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, chuckles rang out in the air, and a figure covered in a cloak emerged.
"Xu Nian!"
Shen Qiantong shrank and was a little surprised.
Xu Nianwei's death was unexpected, but the other party not only did not leave, but also ambush him here. This was not what Shen Qian had expected.
Silently, three more figures appeared on both sides and behind Shen Qian, blocking all Shen Qian's escape routes.
They all looked young, but each had their own characteristics. The young man in front and behind Shen had a messy beard and an old look. The one on the left had a rebellious face and a scar running through the center of his eyebrow. The young man on the right had a messy beard and an old look. There was very obvious fear and hatred in the eyes that looked at Shen Qian coldly.
"Guo Zhouyuan, Ji You, Nie Han!"
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes. He was not familiar with Guo Zhouyuan, but Ji You and Nie Han had dealt with him more than once.
Half of Meiyuan's direct disciples are here.
As the four people appeared, Shen Qian immediately guessed something. He looked around, "These people...were all killed by you?"
"Since they entered the wilderness, they have already realized that they will die at any time." Xu Nian did not answer directly, but just smiled.
However, Shen Qian already understood the hidden meaning of the other party's words. He was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "You are really cruel!"
For the purpose of silencing them, directly killing dozens of powerful people from mountains and seas...
Although Shen Qian could not sympathize with these people, he was still shocked by Xu Nian's cruelty.
But Shen Qian immediately had another doubt.
The mountain and sea warriors who have survived into the wilderness until now are all the best among them. Even if Xu Nian and four other people make a sneak attack, it is impossible for none of these people to escape.
And looking at the state of Xu Nian and others, it was clear that there was no loss and no injuries at all.
Shen Qian thought to himself that even if he took action, he might be able to keep all these people, but it would not be possible for him to not be injured at all.
As his thoughts turned, Shen Qian had already thought of something. His expression changed slightly, "Formation?"
"You are really sharp."
Xu Nian smiled, and when he saw that he was exposed by Shen Qian, he stopped hiding it. With a wave of his hand, the world where the five of them were suddenly changed drastically, and they saw a dark light curtain covering the land with a radius of ten miles. In the light curtain, there was Dots of green fire floated around, and corpses lay everywhere on the ground, making it look like an underworld.
Being in this space, Guo Zhouyuan and the other three people all looked uncomfortable, but Xu Nian had a relaxed expression on his face.
Shen Qian's expression became slightly stern, and he became more vigilant.
Not only him, but even the system and clones were not aware of the existence of this formation. It can be seen that this formation is of extremely high level, or uses some kind of secret technique to conceal it, and even ordinary princes have difficulty seeing through it, so Shen Qian Only then did he dive in headfirst.
There is only one doubt...
"It obviously takes more than a moment to set up this kind of formation... Did you already set up this formation when you entered the wild world?"
Shen Qian thought of something, and his face became more solemn, "Did you already know that I would appear in the wild world?"
This is what puzzled and surprised Shen Qian.
If the killing move that triggered the star was a coincidence, then the formation that took at least several hours to set up was clearly planned for a long time.
But...how could Xu Nian predict the future?
Although Shen Qian had already felt that everything was a coincidence in his previous speculations, Shen Qian would not believe it if Xu Nian was the person behind the plan.
It's not that he looked down on the other party, but how could Xu Nian control the location of the altar portal and make it appear just in front of Shen Qian? If he had such ability, he would be even more powerful than a prince.
"good."
Xu Nian smiled strangely, "Shen Qian, your death date has been determined for a long time, and the most ironic thing is that you even chose your own grave!"
"Who is behind you?" When Shen Qian saw Xu Nian admitting, his eyes suddenly focused. This was what he really cared about.
"You talk too much."
Xu Nian wanted to answer, but he didn't know what he thought of. His face suddenly turned cold, and he waved his hand and said, "Do it!"
As Xu Nian waved his hand, Guo Zhouyuan, Ji You and Nie Han immediately rushed towards Shen Qian without hesitation.
The surging Yuan Power was overwhelming, and the terrifying air pressure formed by the three people's cooperation was enough to instantly kill any ordinary mountain and sea third-level heavenly warrior.
Buzz!
The space trembled, and Shen Qian was about to activate his "Transformation" to escape from the encirclement, but found that his movement technique had failed.
To be more precise, it was the ubiquitous will-o'-the-wisp that interfered with the formation of the body technique.
"Give up, Shen Qian. In my field, all struggles are in vain."
Ignoring Xu Nian's sneer, Shen Qian frowned, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he opened the "Eye of Truth" to quickly examine the situation in front of him.
He had already known about Ji You's combat power. He could only hold up 200,000 to death. He was among the best in the mountains and seas, but he could not pose a real threat to Shen Qian.
Guo Zhouyuan saw that his aura was already at the peak of mountains and seas. He didn't know how many forbidden realms he was in, but his aura was far more terrifying than Ji You.
As for Nie Han, he is slightly inferior to Ji You. If he fights alone, Shen Qian is now confident that he can defeat him within ten moves.
But the three of them took action together, and with the tacit understanding between their brothers, the lethality formed was not a simple addition, but a geometric multiplication.
As for Xu Nian... Shen Qian couldn't see through him, but he and the formation he controlled were undoubtedly the biggest threat.
In a flash of thought, Shen Qian gave up the idea of hiding his strength in order to give Xu Nian a fatal blow at the critical moment.
This ghostly formation restrained Shen Qian, but on the other hand, it also "trapped" them.
"This sword is unavoidable!"
So Shen Qian lowered his head slightly, and first blessed himself with the power of "following his words", and then took out the Shanhe Knife. He held his breath and concentrated. The moment Shen Qian raised his head, the sharp sword light spurted out like an angry dragon. , directly slashed at the weakest Nie Han.
There was no reservation before the sword sank, and he even completely exposed his back to Guo Zhouyuan and Ji You, just to kill them with one blow.
The sword light swallowed Nie Han and tore his body into pieces.
Shen Qian's figure turned black and swelled the moment Guo Zhouyuan and Ji You attacked. At the same time, the S-class armor "Qianjun" appeared on his back, and he withstood the blows of the two men.
when!
The broadsword in Guo Zhouyuan's hand and Ji You's fist struck Shen Qian's armor. Shen Qian groaned suddenly, his body surged out, and he staggered to the ground dozens of meters away. He spit out golden bruises from his mouth and staggered. He stabilized his figure.
Nie Han was killed with one sword, but there was no joy in Shen Qian's eyes.
Because it's too easy.
Nie Han didn't make any dodge movements at all, and in the feedback from Shanhe Knife, the "bloodthirsty" enchantment effect was not activated.
Sure enough, when Shen Qian raised his head, he saw that Nie Han's originally broken figure had condensed on the spot, unscathed, as if what Shen Qian had just killed was just an illusion.
But the rule lock of that sword with spiritual power is impossible to fail.
"Isn't that surprising?"
Xu Nian, who was standing with his hands behind his hands in mid-air, chuckled, "I told you, this is my domain, you have no chance of struggling."
Shen Qian ignored Xu Nian's sarcasm and opened the Eyes of Truth again, perhaps because Nie Han triggered the formation's mechanism. This time he saw something strange in Guo Zhouyuan and others.
There was a thin layer of black mist surrounding the three people. The black mist made the three people's bodies sometimes illusory and sometimes solid, as if they were constantly switching between souls and entities.
Staring at the black mist, Shen Qian felt a familiar yet unfamiliar Taoist charm.
He was familiar with it because he had seen a similar feeling in Bai Fei. As a man who had died once, Bai Fei practiced the "yin and yang" way.
It was unfamiliar because the Taoist charm contained in the black mist was obviously at a higher level than what Bai Fei had mastered.
The advancement of Yin and Yang... is "life and death"!
That's right, it's "life and death", one of the seven supreme laws!
"What you cultivate is actually the avenue of life and death?"
Shen Qian looked at Xu Nian, who was controlling the formation, and was extremely surprised.
The representative figure of this "Tao" is the fallen King Guang of Qin. As the supreme Tao, its difficulty is self-evident. No wonder Xu Nianhui is so difficult to deal with. Even the three senior brothers changed their expressions upon hearing his name.
"You saw through me again."
Xu Nian spread his hands and said with a low smile, "Yes, this is the field where my 'Tao' and formations were combined. It is also a trump card that I generally don't want to use easily."
"But even a falling star can't kill you, Shen Qian, you make me afraid to be too big."
"They are in my domain, so they can exchange life and death at any time. How do you kill a person who is already 'dead'?"
"Shen Qian, give up and become one of my ghosts. I have a hunch that if I can swallow your bones, I can take that final step!"
The ghost energy surged, Xu Nian's laughter gradually became rampant, and Guo Zhouyuan and the other three people, whose bodies were shrouded in black mist, also sneered and charged towards Shen Qianwei again.
Life and death exchange?
Shen Qian frowned. In other words, unless he cracked the formation or killed Xu Nian in a very short time, any of his attacks would be ineffective against Guo Zhouyuan and the other three.
He didn't expect that Xu Nian valued him so much and actually used his strongest means without any luck.
"You're fucking cheating!"
Looking at Xu Nian standing in mid-air like the lord of hell, Shen Qian's brows suddenly relaxed, and then he sighed.
What Xu Nian arranged was no longer an ordinary formation, but a field that contained the laws of life and death!
Xu Nian was cultivated in mountains and seas, but he used methods only available to princes. That's why Shen Qian said he was cheating.
"Then I can only feel embarrassed."
Shen Qian shook his head and smiled, and suddenly put away the Shanhe Knife under the astonished eyes of Guo Zhouyuan and others.
