On the arched bridge burning with red flames, a giant sword ghost puppet stood up slowly, holding a bone sword taller than a human in its hand, hanging on the ceiling of the underground palace by transparent silk threads.
His back was turned, but he seemed to be staring at this side. His majestic body faintly exuded huge coercion from ancient times.
Xue Zhongjing regained consciousness, his face full of solemnity and fear.
"Do you know what state that thing is in?"
Xue Zhongjing asked Ji Ning.
This puppet sword ghost, just standing there, gave him as much pressure as any other Third Realm monk he had ever seen.
And if the opponent's combat power really exceeds the third realm and is comparable to the fourth calamity realm, they can only escape.
Logically speaking, the gap between the realms is too big. No matter how hard he tries and uses all his magic weapons, he can't defeat him.
But that’s not necessarily the case.
"Hard to say."
Ji Ning took a deep breath and said with serious eyes.
According to the information on the map, we can know that this puppet sword ghost was personally refined by Master Shen Yu using thaumaturgy. In its extreme state, it can exert the strength of the Seventh Realm and will automatically attack anyone who tries to step on the bridge. enemy.
And it is precisely because of this restriction that the puppet sword ghost cannot leave this arched bridge, so it has not been demonized so far, and it does not have the characteristics of a real creature.
The powerful power he possesses should have been annihilated by the wear and tear of time.
What is left now may be just a simple body.
But he didn't dare to gamble.
Ji Ning stood in front of the arched bridge, looking at the bridge deck close at hand and lost in thought, hesitating whether to take this step or not.
He also knew the weakness of this puppet sword ghost.
I just don’t know what state the other party is in now.
Once he is completely awakened, can he and Xue Zhongjing join forces to defeat this thing?
Xue Zhongjing didn't know about this issue either.
But without any hesitation, he stepped forward with his left foot and stepped firmly onto the bridge.
Boom!
In an instant, dust kicked up and danced wildly in the air, and the puppet sword ghost seemed to have completely woken up. The huge body was slowly turned around under the control of the silk thread.
"What are you..."
"No matter what, this is it. No matter what state this thing is in, whether it can hinder us or not, I will give it a try."
"Are you coming?"
Xue Zhongjing's tone was calm, and he turned back to ask Ji Ning calmly.
Looking at Xue Zhongjing with firm eyes, Ji Ning was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Qi Lan and Zhen Xixi who were still unconscious behind him, and then at the puppet sword ghost on the bridge. He gritted his teeth and smiled slightly:
"That's natural."
Later, he also stood on the bridge.
The puppet sword ghost completely woke up. The ancient aura in his body seemed to come from the ancient times. After it was sprayed out, all the dust and dirt on his armor were washed away, and the decay on the giant bone sword was also removed. , the dragon pattern on it is clearly visible.
Facing such a giant puppet sword ghost who knew no realm but was terrifyingly coercive, Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing felt somewhat nervous in their hearts, but no one was afraid.
Ji Ning's confidence came from the fact that he knew the weakness of the sword demon and the secret that he had the body of a saint.
To a certain extent, the properties of the puppet and the body of the dead saint are the same, so when the paper man's body was faced with the body of the saint, he had no power to resist. When he first entered the underground palace and encountered the strange puppet At that time, he also felt the call of the saint's body in the space ring.
It seems that he wants to come out and personally remove the Sui Yin Pearl from the other party's body.
Fortunately he restrained himself.
Otherwise, if Cui Jibo and others discover it, who knows what kind of trouble will be caused. If a saint's body is exposed, I am afraid that there will no longer be any place for him in this large North County, so now he is facing The situation is the same.
Unless absolutely necessary, the saint's body will never be used. Even if there are only four of them here, two of them are still unconscious.
The less people know about the secret, the better. Not everyone is as kind as Miss Ye Yu. He doesn't want to be betrayed again...
Facing this huge puppet sword ghost, Ji Ning's mind was filled with thoughts.
The same was true for Xue Zhongjing. His face was pale, his head raised, and he stared at the puppet sword ghost high up with a firm and crazy expression.
What he saw was not a powerful opponent.
It’s about yourself who has a bright future in the future.
"It's the last step, it's just the last step!"
"As long as I walk across this bridge, kill him, and snatch the key, I can obtain thaumaturgy and stand at the pinnacle of the spiritual world from now on!"
Xue Zhongjing's fighting spirit was high, and the spiritual energy in his body burst out without any reservation, forming a huge cyclone within a range, which actually temporarily resisted the ancient aura released from the body of the puppet sword ghost.
"So strong!"
Ji Ning was slightly shocked.
It seems that he has underestimated Xue Zhongjing's cultivation. The power he has unleashed on the bridge is far stronger than what he showed when facing Cui Jibo.
Even coupled with the methods, magical weapons, etc. possessed by the latter, it can be said that Xue Zhongjing's combat power is truly among the three realms.
But the problem is that such a powerful force should occupy a place in the world of any county. Why did Xue Zhongjing come all the way here?
Looking at the back of the man in front of him, Ji Ning realized something was wrong.
All this time, he seemed to have overlooked something. He had been immersed in searching for the key. After finding the key, he was immediately chased by Cui Jibo and others, and escaped one after another, leaving him with no time to think about his situation.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that Qi Lan seemed to have muttered something to him before he passed out.
Xue Zhongjing, can’t you believe it?
Didn't hear clearly.
Ji Ning's expression was solemn, and just when he was about to continue his meditation, the puppet sword ghost on the bridge finally moved, walking towards them with heavy steps and holding a big sword.
The entire arched bridge and the surrounding ground began to tremble. Sharp and heavy sword intent emerged from all over the space, cutting into pieces of boulders. Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing's clothes also appeared. It broke instantly, revealing clear traces of blood.
Then, without any pause, the puppet sword ghost took a second step forward.
Above and below the bridge, a hundred meters apart.
The puppet sword ghost raised the sword in his hand.
Between heaven and earth, the endless old aura condensed on the sword in his hand. The terrible pressure made the fire spirit river under his feet become abnormally stable, and all the bubbles bursting out. Even those facing this sword Xue Zhongjing felt as if his heart was about to burst.
Looking down, the puppet sword ghost had not yet drawn his sword, but it had already carved countless blood marks on his body, and his sternum was squeezed and broken by the ancient aura.
"hateful!"
Xue Zhongjing opened his eyes and used all his strength to mobilize his spiritual energy to fight against it. At the same time, magic weapons appeared between his left and right hands. These were the magic weapons that he had prepared in advance and condensed the true rules of the great road.
The mysterious jade bell in the left hand and the Humen banner in the right hand. The former can temporarily resonate with the avenue through vibration. Its power is terrifying, approaching the mind. Ordinary creatures cannot resist it. If you are not careful, you may even be directly shattered by the consciousness and shocked. Become an idiot and a useless person.
The Humen Banner on the right hand is also a magic weapon aimed at the monk's mind. It can be activated when the enemy's mind is damaged. By releasing the yin to yang energy, it can attack the enemy from the source. In mild cases, the Taoist mind will be disordered and become possessed. In severe cases, they will directly return to his control and become a walking zombie enslaved by others.
These two magical instruments are both of the fourth grade.
He has been wandering around the world for so many years, and he spent a lot of money to get these two fourth-grade magic weapons at the bottom of the box, and he almost never showed them to anyone.
Firstly, he was afraid that he would be guilty of carrying the jade and get burned, and secondly, he wanted to have an unexpected effect at the critical moment, so he walked to this arch bridge with such confidence.
Whether they are puppets or ghost objects, such existences are different from humans after all. Their appearance does not have vitality, and naturally they do not have the function of preventing attacks against the mind and soul magic weapons. Therefore, even if the puppet sword ghost is much stronger than him, He is also confident that he can get rid of it with the help of magic weapons.
However, when the puppet sword ghost took a step forward and actually raised the bone giant sword, he found that he was still too naive.
In the face of this huge pressure, it was so difficult for him to use his spiritual energy to shake the bells and soul flags on his left and right hands, let alone activate the magical weapons to fight.
Ji Ning also looked pale at this moment.
Oops.
He had no idea that the strength of this puppet sword ghost was much stronger than he imagined. He had never even been exposed to such a powerful existence. He and Xue Zhongjing were unable to move just by relying on his pressure.
The moment the puppet sword ghost raised his hand, he wanted to remind Xue Zhongjing to attack the opponent's head.
There is the weakness of the puppet sword ghost, the transparent thread left by the real person Shen Yu.
Countless transparent silk threads are entangled and intertwined in the space formation of this underground palace. Firstly, it can ensure the minimum energy supply for the puppet sword ghost. Secondly, it can ensure that the puppet sword ghost will not suffer any changes and escape on its own. Within the control of this arched bridge.
Therefore, all the activities of this puppet sword ghost are carried out under the control of this thread. Although the thread is very tough, as long as the two of them use their full strength, it is not a problem to cut off a few threads.
Yes, you don’t need to cut them all off, just a few. The space on this arched bridge is not very big. This puppet sword ghost looks powerful, but in fact, they only need to make his body lose balance. Able to win without a fight and easily escape from the bridge.
But the problem now is that they can't even lift the knife in their hands, how can they cut off each other's threads?
At this moment, Xue Zhongjing's face turned pale.
He looked up at the cumbersome and terrifying puppet sword ghost with some despair in his heart.
