Facing Mr. Hong's half-smiling expression, You Ziji continued:
"Every time I move my position, your bronze corpse will follow me and move to my side. It can be seen that this spell is released using it as a medium."
"Your idea is interesting, but it doesn't mean you are not poisoned." Mr. Hong still denied it.
"You are right, but just after I broke through the group of corpses, the sluggish feeling in my body suddenly disappeared. Then you called the bronze corpses to block my way back. Then the surroundings became stagnant again, and I Sluggish.”
"Do you have any evidence? It's enough to prove that the impact was caused by the copper corpse, not other problems."
"When I first fought with the bronze corpse, I experienced the same feeling of being stuck in the quagmire. At that time, as long as I was locked by the bronze corpse, it would take effect, so I chose to fight. But you were smart and didn't immediately You used this spell to the extreme, but after I struggled for a while, the power of the restraint suddenly increased so much that I couldn't adapt. Then you used your words to mislead me, and then poisoned Xiao Huang, making me think I have been poisoned by a strange poison that cannot be eliminated."
At this point, You Ziji's tone softened and he said playfully: "Mr. Hong is really good at acting."
After Mr. Hong listened carefully to You Ziji’s analysis, he couldn’t help but praise:
"Your observation skills are very keen, so you might as well guess why I have to do so much trouble?"
You Ziji looked at the group of living corpses that had once again surrounded them. They were three levels inside and three levels outside, but it was difficult to get out of the encirclement. It can be seen that while he was talking here to delay time, Mr. Hong was not idle either.
"You want to use up all my Samadhi True Fire so that you can defeat me without any injuries."
Mr. Hong couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered: "You are indeed smart, but I don't know how much Samadhi True Fire you can accumulate in such a short period of time, and whether it will be enough for you to escape."
You Ziji first put Xiao Huang at his feet, stood up and said, "Then it depends on Mr. Hong whether you give him a chance."
"Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to make a comeback. Once you get past my group of living corpses, and my master and I are blocking the way, you will definitely die."
Having said that, Mr. Hong moved quickly and retreated behind the group of corpses, not giving You Ziji any chance of a sneak attack, even though he knew in his heart that You Ziji could not kill him in a short time.
The group of corpses followed Mr. Hong's command and commanded an all-out assault, and the bronze corpses continued to plunder the formation outside.
Now that You Ziji knew that the bronze corpse behind would affect his actions, he became more cautious.
At first, You Ziji didn't know where this restraining force like falling into a quagmire came from. After the analysis just now, he had roughly guessed that it was the power given by the earth formation.
The power in this earth formation not only formed a pair of energy earth armor on the bronze corpse, but the rest of the power was used to limit You Ziji's speed and movement.
So this was not a poison in the first place, it was simply a restriction of movement.
After Mr. Hong's formation, the zombies who attacked this time no longer swarmed forward, but attacked in small groups and in stages to avoid being burned by You Ziji's Samadhi True Fire.
But they are just wandering corpses after all. Even if they are guided and controlled by command flags, they cannot achieve the same level of execution as humans. A group of seven or eight animals were clearly attacking together, but when they took a few steps, the formation became chaotic again, with several positions separated from the front and back.
The flames on You Ziji's body soared into the sky and ignited the ones that were closer in front. Before they could reach You Ziji's side, they were swallowed up by the flames and turned into ashes.
The remaining living corpses had simple movements and were far apart from each other. They were not coordinated by You Ziji. They predicted their movements in advance and either grabbed their arms or pressed their chests. The fire tongues turned their flesh and corpse poison into Fly ash.
After this operation, You Ziji easily turned the offensive into invisible.
Although Mr. Hong concluded that You Ziji was at the end of his game and there was not much flame left, he still would not relax his offensive against You Ziji.
He waved the flag and the zombies attacked again, this time it was two groups of living zombies acting together.
The gathering of living corpses was a good target. You Ziji was about to set fire to it, but he saw that the other party was acting strangely, fearing that he might have hidden methods, so he quickly stopped to protect himself.
Sure enough, something happened to one of the groups of zombies, and they were controlled by Mr. Hong to self-destruct midway through the attack, turning into poisonous mist. However, at such a long distance, You Ziji was unable to stop the corpse poison from erupting in advance.
Even so, You Ziji still had a way. He used his magic technique to blow out strong winds, sweeping through the surrounding streets and blowing back the poisonous mist.
The area was ravaged by living corpses, and there was some corpse poison left in the air. Previously, You Ziji had sealed his five senses and pores in order to isolate himself from the corpse poison. Now he inhaled and blew the air, but he inhaled the free toxins in the air into his body.
You Ziji felt anxious and quickly looked inside himself, hoping to see the process of being infected with the corpse poison.
Unexpectedly, a closer look revealed clues. After the corpse poison entered the body, it did not infect any parts of the body, and it was far from the strange effect that You Ziji imagined on affecting the soul.
As for the real effect of the corpse poison, You Ziji didn't know, because the corpse poison was directly eliminated by the real fire furnace in his body. This process was too simple and fast, and there was no ripple at all. No wonder You Ziji I didn't notice it before and couldn't find the location of the toxin.
You Ziji had just guessed before, but now his idea has been confirmed. It is indeed not the influence of corpse poison, so there is no need to restrain his hands. This poison is nothing.
When he thought of this, his movements suddenly became fierce, and the situation on the field suddenly changed. You Ziji switched from defense to offense and began to take the initiative. After a while, the two groups of living corpses also returned without success.
Mr. Hong also noticed this change and wondered why You Ziji suddenly became so ferocious. He hurriedly let the bronze corpse enter to help the living zombies siege, and at the same time tightened the restraint on You Ziji.
As a result, You Ziji's pressure increased dramatically. His movements became slower and slower, and he seemed to be in a hurry. He had to use some tactics to kill the bronze corpse, but the living corpse that the bronze corpse grabbed casually acted as a shield and blocked him.
The space in front of You Ziji was further compressed, and there were fewer and fewer opportunities to operate. He had no choice but to take Xiao Huang into his hands again to prevent it from being harmed.
When his hand touched Xiao Huang, he suddenly felt that his whole body seemed to be much lighter. After holding it in his arms, You Ziji confirmed that this feeling was true.
The restraint of the bronze corpse on him seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and You Ziji returned to his previous state of being as light as a swallow.
Although this unexpected situation was strange, it made You Ziji feel familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had felt the same way when he took Xiao Huang out of the encirclement for the first time. However, the situation was urgent at that time, so he put it down after landing. , but did not notice this situation.
As for why taking Xiao Huang had such an effect, You Ziji came to a conclusion after thinking about it.
Because Xiao Huang has earth beads on his body, he can travel unimpeded in mud and rocks after wearing the earth beads. No wonder Senior Brother Chang arranged for Xiao Huang to come to the earth formation. He must have expected this a long time ago.
Then why did Mr. Hong not stop himself from taking this treasure? He clearly had several opportunities to steal the magic weapon. Moreover, he also said that You Ziji only had a chance to escape with the orb. He obviously knew the efficacy of the orb.
You Ziji didn't have time to think so much. He untied the package on Xiao Huang's body, wrapped it around Xiao Huang, and tied it diagonally to his chest. In this way, he could always use the power of the orb for free.
Sure enough, when the orb is carried on the body, it will automatically take effect. Although it cannot escape through the earth and pass through the wall, the effect of counteracting the restraint of the earth formation is just right.
You Ziji no longer hesitated and rushed forward to break through the siege of the living corpses.
The group of corpses immediately filled up the position, blocking the direction of You Ziji's progress, leaving no gaps.
The bronze corpse also rushed forward. Even without the restrictions of the earth formation, it was still a difficult opponent.
Fortunately, You Ziji didn't need to confront it head-on. Every time he fought with the bronze corpse, he collapsed at the first touch and used its power to break through the obstacles.
You Ziji protected his chest with one hand and faced the enemy with the other. With flying palms and erratic figures, he forcibly opened a passage by hitting and squeezing him.
Mr. Hong saw that Youziji was so fierce and unstoppable that he detonated all the living corpses nearby, relying on the power of the explosion to slow down Youziji, clearing the streets, and then sent living corpses from afar to fill the position and block Youzi again. Economic route.
You Ziji's figure was erratic, and the corpse poison was covering his sight. If the living corpses hadn't used the human's anger to lock their position, they would have lost him long ago.
Although the direction of the attack could be confirmed, You Ziji was traveling too fast, and Mr. Hong had to detonate more living corpses. For a while, black mist covered the sky and the sun, and the sound of collisions was endless. The bronze corpse followed closely behind and came into contact with You Ziji to fight. Every time he jumped up and landed, the vibrations produced made a rumbling sound.
The quiet village suddenly became lively. If you didn't see the scene and just listened to the sound, it would seem that firecrackers and fireworks were being set off and a grand gathering was held.
Seeing that the group of living corpses in front seemed endless, You Ziji changed his direction, stepped towards the wall to gain strength, flew out, and finally crossed the encirclement.
At this moment, You Ziji is like a fish in the sea. No matter how difficult it is to trap, Mr. Hong is still very confident. This is because he has set a huge trap for You Ziji.
Tu Zhu has the ability to control soil, which You Ziji has already seen, and the ability to escape from the earth is also developed from this ability.
Who gave the Earth Pearl its power? Naturally, it was not given by the weapon refiner.
The Five Elements Orbs were once just like their fakes, just ordinary orbs with nothing strange about them. They are all nourished by the Five Elements Formation on the Dragon King Tower all year round, so they have various superpowers.
In other words, the Five Elements Orb has become part of the Five Elements Formation, and they are integrated.
Even if there is an earth bead on the Dragon King Tower now, it still cannot erase the connection between the earth bead in Xiao Huang's hand and the formation.
And judging from the connection between the formation and the orb, the formation is superior to the orb. Therefore, once You Ziji uses the earth beads, he will be assimilated by the earth formation, and he will not be able to escape even if he wants to, and he will become a lamb to be slaughtered.
"You don't think you can escape successfully like this, do you? Without the Samadhi True Fire, I'll see what else you can do to fight me."
From the beginning, Mr. Hong has been demonstrating the ability of earth formations, and coupled with the guidance of his words, he believes that anyone will think that using earth beads is a good option.
But it is a pity that Mr. Hong does not know You Ziji. He does not know that You Ziji is an idiot who uses magic weapons. He also does not know that after You Ziji has a real fire furnace, his life will not end and the flame will not go out.
"Escape? Mr. Hong is really good at joking. I'm here to break the formation, not come here to visit you for a while and then leave. Besides, you entertain me so warmly, and I want to reward you in return."
Mr. Hong was startled when he heard this, and then became vicious. He didn't expect that this kid was so stupid. Did he not notice any hint? But it doesn't matter, the Samadhi True Fire must have been almost consumed, so let him see the power of the bronze corpse.
The Bronze Corpse Vajra is indestructible and is not afraid of being cut by swords or burned by fire. If it weren't for You Ziji's Samadhi True Fire being more advanced, he wouldn't have needed to leave so many traps and just rush forward.
You Ziji was finally about to see the full strength of Bronze Corpse.
This bronze corpse was originally Mr. Hong's master. Their master had his own method of body refining in practice, so that after death, the disciples could have an excellent corpse to use to make zombies. After all, it is suitable for making zombies. Practitioners are hard to come across, and if you do, you may not be able to defeat them.
They need to soak in special medicines every day when refining their bodies in order to recover their own hidden injuries and perfectly integrate the death energy with themselves. Mr. Hong's blue-black face is the sequelae of the body-refining method.
However, the corpses of ordinary practitioners can only be made into iron corpses, and it is difficult for them to reach the level of bronze corpses with the physique of their masters. As a body specially used to prepare for corpse refining, it naturally has many strange features.
For example, right now, Bronze Corpse is using his martial arts skills to attack You Ziji. The blue-black withered palms are arranged in the shape of claws. Each claw will make a sound of piercing the air. It is obvious that the moves contain Gang Jin, which can penetrate armor and pierce armor. Stone is a breeze.
This is no longer fighting zombies, it is clearly fighting a monk who is accomplished in body training.
The claw technique combined with the death energy and corpse poison on the bronze corpse makes people intimidated, and it is more difficult to deal with than the body-refining monks.
The Bronze Corpse's attacks are fierce, and its body is hard and covered with earth armor. The wanderer can only fight and retreat while trying to defeat him.
Seeing that the situation was looking great, Mr. Hong did not dare to relax. He remembered that You Ziji had just said to him that he wanted to return the gift. You Ziji must have a backup plan and wanted to crush him to death.
He planted the Corpse Control Flag on the ground, made a hand seal, and muttered words as if performing a ritual. Wisps of black earth energy emerged, weaving into a disembodied black gauze around the flag.
After the gauze garment was woven, it could float and move on its own. Mr. Hong took advantage of this situation and stretched out his finger. The gauze garment seemed to have received an order and turned into a black horse and fell into the battlefield.
You Ziji didn't know what it was, so he jumped away in advance for fear of danger.
But he turned into a black gauze cloth and draped it over the bronze corpse, and then disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now.
You Ziji knew that this must have added special abilities to the bronze corpse.
But I don't know if it has accelerated the speed or increased the strength.
You Ziji cautiously tested it a few times, but found nothing unusual. The bronze corpse had been provoked by him and came forward. He had no choice but to continue fighting with the bronze corpse, but he was wary.
The two of them were like martial arts masters, one strong and the other soft, making moves. You Ziji focused all his energy on the bronze corpse, but could no longer pay attention to Mr. Hong's movements.
Before Mr. Hong's ceremony was completed, he cut his palm open and blood dripped down on the flag. Shaking his head, dancing, and continuing to complete the ceremony.
After a while, his eyes suddenly widened and emitted a fierce light. He clasped his hands together and shouted secretly: "Seven stars fight backwards! Change between life and death!"
Mr. Hong's ceremony was completed, and something unexpected happened immediately.
The black veil that had already disappeared appeared again. You Ziji knew something was wrong, so he quickly stepped back and wanted to leave, but he didn't know when the black veil had blocked his way. Then he watched helplessly as he was restrained but could not resist. .
The body of the copper corpse suddenly turned pitch black, and there were seven stars shining on it, which were similar to those on the Seven Star Sword. They both looked like the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, but the spiritual energy on them was completely different.
A thick aura of death emanated from the bronze corpse, filling the entire space controlled by the black veil.
There was only one living thing among them, You Ziji, and his anger became the only bright light in this dead realm.
Suddenly, the Big Dipper carved on the bronze corpse turned upside down, and the energy of life and death began to interchange.
The powerful pulling force did not seem to exist in this world, making it difficult for You Ziji to resist.
The anger was drawn out bit by bit and was about to enter the body of the bronze corpse. You Ziji finally calmed down and calmed down.
He guarded himself, and the Three Treasures of Spirit, Qi, and God gradually stabilized under the control of the True Fire Furnace.
When his heart calmed down, the so-called death energy and the pull of different dimensions seemed to no longer exist, and nothing could shake him anymore.
Mr. Hong only saw a burst of red light piercing the black veil in the field. All the power storms in that space stabilized. He exclaimed: "An airtight body? How is it possible? How old is he? The foundation of the mysterious realm.”
The ritual set up by Mr. Hong is not a means to fight the enemy, but a cultivation method left by ancient gods in the inheritance of his sect, which allows practitioners to experience the great terror between life and death.
This method is an irresistible murder weapon for monks below the foundation-building level. The practitioners at this stage have neither cultivated their minds nor integrated the inside and outside of their bodies. Those who succeed will surely die.
But if You Ziji reaches this state in front of you, you will have no worries. Mr. Hong was not confident for the first time and had a bad feeling.
But it was a bit difficult for You Ziji to resist in the Black Veil Death Realm, let alone the little yellow on his chest.
The anger was swept away early and replaced by a body of deathly anger.
You Ziji's impeccable body first showed its divine power, and suddenly his soul was blessed. Before the ceremony was over, he injected the Samadhi True Fire in Xiao Huang's body to help him drive away the death energy and sort out his meridians.
Finally, a seed of Samadhi True Fire was left in his Dantian, which fixed his essence and spirit so that it would no longer leak out.
This effort not only emptied Xiao Huang's body of corpse toxins, but also eliminated impurities in his body. With the true fire of Samadhi permanently stationed in his Dantian, future practice will be more effective with half the effort.
This ritual is a reversal of positive and negative. After the dead energy leaves, the vitality will naturally return.
Xiao Huang Youyou woke up and said, "What's wrong with me? I seem to have had a dream. Wait, why am I in your arms."
"Brother You, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Although my fur is soft and bright, making people want to touch it, you can't take advantage of Huang's danger and violate me while I'm unconscious."
You Ziji's face suddenly changed from green to red, and he resisted throwing it back into the death aura.
"You'd better check your body, it'll be good for you."
"Check your body?" Xiao Huang immediately jumped out of You Ziji's arms, "You beast, what have you done to me?"
You Ziji blocked his hearing on the spot and ignored Xiao Huang.
Next, he has to concentrate on dealing with the bronze corpse.
Counting time, the methods he left behind will soon bear fruit.
When Mr. Hong saw You Ziji come out unscathed, he already wanted to quit. However, he was the last remaining group in the Five Elements Formation. If he escaped, Wang Lexian's Five Elements Formation would immediately have flaws. When Wang Lexian failed, he would There is no way to survive, so we can only hold on a little longer. We don’t know when Wang Lexian will be able to deal with the foreign enemies.
He soon had no time to think anymore, because You Ziji had already attacked. He hurriedly sent his bronze corpse to stop You Ziji. At least, his bronze corpse would not be defeated so easily.
But then, Mr. Hong finally panicked.
The bronze corpse is invulnerable, and with You Ziji's cultivation, even his most violent attack may not be able to break through his defense.
But if the flames last long enough, the bronze corpse's defense will be unable to withstand it.
Therefore, You Ziji previously broke through the earth armor with the fire of Samadhi True Fire and left it on the body of the bronze corpse.
The acupuncture points of the joints he touched have been injected with Samadhi True Fire. Under the continuous burning, the skin on the surface of the joints has been burned through, and the joints are being destroyed.
The damage adds up, and once the joints are completely damaged, the bronze corpse will have no chance to escape.
The Samadhi True Fire pointed at specific acupuncture points exactly constitutes the trajectory of the true energy of the basic Kung Fu learned by You Ziji.
As a result, the body of the bronze corpse was burned by the true fire of Samadhi from the inside to the outside, and it was no longer under control.
You Ziji came to the bronze corpse. The bronze corpse was unable to stand due to damaged joints and half knelt on the ground to be level with You Ziji.
He stretched out his palm to cover the bronze corpse's head, and the true fire of Samadhi spread from his palm to the bronze corpse.
The bronze corpse instinctively wanted to struggle, but could no longer use any more strength.
The Samadhi True Fire in his body also exploded under the influence of You Ziji.
The raging fire burned his body and eliminated the soul and obsessions bound within it.
The skin of the bronze corpse was burned through, exposing the bones, and then melted. You Ziji kept his palms downward until the bronze corpse was finally reduced to ashes. He clenched his fists and the Samadhi True Fire disappeared in an instant.
Suddenly there was the sound of fighting in the distance, and there was the flash of sword light. It was Hao Laodao and Hong Duwei who came and slaughtered all the living corpses with the help of magic weapons.
You Ziji looked up at Mr. Hong. He still looked calm and calm. Nothing in front of him extinguished his desire to win that had become delusional.
He set up his posture so that, like the bronze corpse, it was the corpse dragon claw that was a special skill in their sect. There was a strong death aura attached to his hand, making people not want to get close to it.
This was the final level. You Ziji took a deep breath and took a stance, taking the enemy in front of him seriously.
He could tell from his appearance that Mr. Hong was also a powerful physical practitioner.
"Bang!"
You Ziji increased his speed to the extreme and took the lead in attacking.
After all, Mr. Hong had been in battle for a long time and was not frightened by this sudden attack. After raising his elbow to block the blow, he turned around and used his dragon claw to grab You Ziji's back.
You Ziji's reaction was not weak either. He propped himself up on his elbows and used the strength to turn over and avoid the blow.
No matter how strong Mr. Hong's physique is, he is still a human being and is not as good as a bronze corpse. There is no sense of oppression to You Ziji, and there is not much difference in the two's moves.
Just when You Ziji thought that the fight would continue like this, Mr. Hong suddenly raised his palm and waved it in front of You Ziji's eyes, showing a little cold light. Feeling alarmed, You Ziji quickly raised his head and did a kite roll.
Sure enough, a silver needle pierced through with sword energy. If You Ziji hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have been shot through the head and died on the spot.
He secretly thought that he was careless and naively thought that everyone was the same as him and could only fight hand-to-hand.
He turned somersaults several times to keep the distance. He didn't know how many such silver needles Mr. Hong had.
Behind him, Hao Laodao and Lieutenant Hong arrived just in time. When they saw You Ziji retreating, they immediately stepped forward to fight against him.
Worried about their safety, You Ziji immediately shouted: "Be careful."
This was because he was overly worried. Hao Laodao and Lieutenant Hong were not fools, and You Ziji was repelled. This shows Mr. Hong's ability. How dare they really go up and fight.
The two of them stood at a distance, using the magic weapon seized from Zhuocai to activate their sword energy and attack Mr. Hong.
Mr. Hong was well prepared. He took out a red feather fan from his waist and fired back with a big fireball that broke through the sword energy.
You Ziji quickly used the wind blowing technique, hoping to change the direction of the fireball. Unexpectedly, the fireball was so fierce that it rolled over when the wind blew it, and then continued to move forward.
Seeing the fireball approaching, You Ziji had no choice but to use his air splitting palm with all his strength. The palm force expanded to the size of the door panel, forming an air wall, and faced the blow head-on to protect the bodies of the three people.
The momentum of the fireball continued unabated, and You Ziji used all his strength to resist it, and was pushed to slide on the ground. Fortunately, the air wall did not collapse, and he blocked the attack without any risk.
"This fireball is so powerful, what a powerful magic weapon!"
You Ziji sighed in admiration, then looked at Mr. Hong's place and found that the man had disappeared.
…
All five formations were broken, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them gathered together again, this time Xiao Huang was also there, and You Ziji uneasily unlocked his closed ear consciousness.
Fortunately, You Ziji's worries were unnecessary. Hao Laodao and Lieutenant Hong cared so much about Xiao Huang that he had no time to make any noise.
You Ziji looked around and saw a spot of light shining on an earthen wall. He walked forward and saw the silver needle piercing into it. He reached out and took out the silver needle and observed it carefully. Although You Ziji didn't understand magic weapons, he was still very sensitive to things like swords. In his perception, this silver needle was clearly a flying sword, but he didn't know why it was refined like this.
The voice on the other side interrupted You Ziji's thoughts.
"Where do you think Mr. Hong will escape to?"
"This formation hasn't collapsed yet, so it won't run outside."
"Then are we going to look for him here? No one here except Brother You dares to go out and look for him alone."
"..."
"He will be out soon." You Ziji's voice attracted them all, "He has seen my ability to find people, so hiding here is the next best thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space began to collapse, and Mr. Hong left the formation as expected.
