The body of the puppet sword ghost fell into the magma.
But at the same time, his huge bone sword also shook down with the fluctuation of spiritual energy, and was held in the hand of the puppet sword ghost in mid-air.
The sword ghost held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and in just an instant, the underground palace was filled with sword energy.
His body was crippled and he lost the ability to move. Falling into the magma was the only way to die, but before he died, he could still strike out with a sword.
And no one can stop this sword.
Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing ran away from the bridge quickly, the spiritual energy in the acupoints spurting out at any cost, just to increase their speed and avoid the sword.
However, how could this sword be so easy to dodge? The gap in realm was there, and it was even more impossible to resist.
Although it was just a hasty slash, but with the sword that the tough body of the bone puppet could not bear, how could the four mortals withstand it.
A pale white sword light appeared out of thin air in the underground palace.
That sword light seemed to have no entity and was everywhere. The moment it appeared, it filled the entire space. It even seemed to cut through the hard rock layer in the underground palace and reach the core of the formation.
The sword light that penetrated the sky and the earth shrouded everyone.
Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing's expressions were pale. At this moment, they wanted to run away and hide, but they had no idea how to avoid this ubiquitous sword light.
Ji Ning even felt that even if he took out the saint's body, it would be useless, because even if the latter could protect him on one side, the ubiquitous sword light would crush him from the other side.
I can only wait to die.
Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing's faces flashed with countless emotions very quickly, and the revolving door of life flashed before their eyes.
Until, the pale white sword light became brighter and brighter, bursting into the most dazzling white light in an instant.
However, just when the two of them were about to be swallowed up by the white light and wiped out by the sword energy, their eyes suddenly went dark!
Buzz!
A melodious bell resounded throughout the world!
"what happens!
At this moment, the world changed from white to black.
The scene in front of everyone turned into pure black, as if the white light did not exist at all.
Ji Ning thought of some possibility, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head. He suddenly saw Qi Lan on his back. He had woken up at some point. At this time, his eyes were open and he was using all the spiritual energy in his body to control Canggu. bell!
It’s the fifth-stage magic weapon Cang Gu Bell!
Ji Ning understood. Qi Lan was using the Canggu Bell to cover them. He wanted to use this to resist the ubiquitous sword light, but could he really resist it?
"clang!"
In an instant, the sword light from the outside collided with the bell, making a trembling sound that shook the earth.
The body of the Canggu Bell began to tremble violently, and the sound waves it released became louder and louder. The terrifying vibrations shattered the eardrums of Ji Ning and Xue Zhongjing.
The two of them were bleeding from all their orifices, and they fell to the ground from the shock and fainted. Even Zhen Xixi, who was not awake, covered her ears hastily in her sleep. Her lips were bitten by herself, and bright blood dripped out, and everyone's The blood was all mixed together.
I don't know when the shaking sound ended.
Even Ji Ning was not sure whether he was dead or alive.
In short, it seemed that a hundred years later, in a pool of blood, Ji Ning opened his eyes with difficulty.
"Still...still alive?"
Ji Ning's face turned pale, and he stood up unsteadily. Looking around, he realized that the arched bridge had collapsed, and countless rocks shattered and fell into the Fire Spirit Vein River, all of which were dissolved. It becomes slag and floats on the surface.
The puppet sword ghost is also dead.
Ji Ning checked his injuries and found that his internal organs were extremely seriously injured. Although everyone did not bear the sword and were protected by the Canggu Bell summoned by Qi Lan, they also suffered the shock of the latter. If you can't survive, if you are still alive, you have already saved a life.
"By the way, Qi Lan!"
At this time, Ji Ning reacted suddenly, ran to Qi Lan who had fainted, and fed him a pill.
As the user of Cang Gu Bell, the backlash Qi Lan endured must be stronger than all of them put together.
Previously, Qi Lan had already been unable to bear just using the Cang Gu Bell to resist the attack of the second stage Pegasus Demon, let alone this time he was resisting the sword of a puppet second only to the Holy Realm.
Although the latter was broken and could exert only a fraction of the strength with a single sword strike, looking at the destructive power at the scene, one knew that this was not something that people of their level could withstand.
Regardless of his own safety, Ji Ning hurriedly transferred his remaining spiritual energy to Qi Lan.
After a period of time, the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted, and Qi Lan finally raised his eyelids with difficulty.
"This...this is..."
"We're not dead."
When Ji Ning saw Qi Lan wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped him sit up.
Qi Lan's face was pale, covered in blood, his eyes were very cloudy, and his expression became dull when he looked at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning felt a chill in his heart when he saw this, thinking that Qi Lan would not be turned into an idiot by the backlash.
He looked at Qi Lan nervously, and Qi Lan also looked at him blankly.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyes finally focused and he recognized Ji Ning.
"It's...it's you, we're not dead?"
"Yes, thanks to you and the Canggu Bell."
"Canggu Bell, Canggu Bell..."
Qi Lan regained consciousness and looked at his right hand. Then his face instantly turned pale. His Cang Gu Bell was missing!
Ji Ning immediately understood what Qi Lan meant and was shocked. He quickly got up and started looking around.
The Ancient Cang Bell is a fifth-stage magic weapon that many monks may not be able to possess in their lifetime.
What's more, the Canggu Bell was a relic left to him by Qi Lan's grandfather. If he and others followed the sword ghost's body and fell into the Fire Spirit Vein River to protect him during that battle, it would really make him regret it for the rest of his life. Guilt.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
"Found it, here it is!"
Suddenly, Ji Ning found a small ancient green bell from under a pile of rocks. It had mottled marks on it, and even the shape was distorted on the side. There was a deep sword mark carved on it.
"Is it so injured? I don't know if it can be used in the future."
After Ji Ning handed it over to Qi Lan, Qi Lan looked at the ancient clock in his hand and sighed with a complicated expression.
The sword ghost's sword was really too terrifying. It actually deformed the Canggu Bell and almost chopped it into pieces. Now that it has been deformed like this, I don't know if it will be possible to repair it in the future.
Ji Ning was silent for a while.
Although Qi Lan himself also needed to save his life, no matter what, he still saved himself and others. If Cang Gu Zhong became like this, he was also responsible and had to find a way to make up for it.
So Ji Ning dug into his pocket and suddenly took out a key that exuded a faint spark.
"Behind this door, there are the most treasures in this underground palace. Logically speaking, we should share them equally."
"But to be honest, compared to those treasures, I care more about other things. Those things you can't use, but they are like treasures to me, so I will give you my share of the treasures."
As Ji Ning spoke, he knelt down, handed the key in Qi Lan's hand, pointed at the mottled ancient wall behind him, and said with a smile:
"But I don't know how many treasures there are behind there. If the things inside can't compensate for the loss of your Cang Gu Bell, I will find a way to replenish it for you privately. The grace of saving my life will not let you suffer in any case."
Upon hearing this, Qi Lan immediately threw the key back into Ji Ning's hand and said angrily:
"What kind of words are these!"
"Jin Ning, don't always talk about saving your life. Haven't you saved me? And I died just now if I didn't take action. The damage to the Canggu Bell has nothing to do with you. The treasure behind it It’s OK to share it equally, but I don’t want your share of the treasure!”
When Ji Ning heard this, his heart warmed up, but he still couldn't help but smile and said:
"I don't want it myself, how can you force it on me?"
Qi Lan wanted to say something when he heard this, but he saw Ji Ning walking towards Xue Zhongjing and Zhen Xixi. While checking their situation, he sighed and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. I have my own chance. If nothing else happens, there should be a lot of magic weapons and treasures behind this door. I don't really need them. You can just share them equally. What I want is something else."
Hearing this, Qi Lan glanced at Ji Ning suspiciously:
"real?"
"Um...are you awake?"
While talking, Ji Ning was sending some spiritual energy into Xue Zhongjing to explore the latter's injuries.
But he didn't expect that the latter would open his eyes and wake up directly.
"Um."
Xue Zhongjing's face was pale and covered with blood. With Ji Ning's help, he struggled to sit up. After looking around blankly, he took out a pill from his arms and asked in a pretentious manner:
"Are we safe?"
"Um."
"That's good."
Xue Zhongjing breathed a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes pretending to be weak.
In fact, he woke up long ago, just after Ji Ning.
The reason why he didn't say anything was because he wanted to see Ji Ning's reaction and whether he would take advantage of all of them to faint and seize the opportunity, so that if he kills him in the future, it won't be considered a betrayal and he can feel at ease. .
But unfortunately, Ji Ning did not do that.
Xue Zhongjing adjusted his breath while thinking doubtfully in his heart.
He heard what the two of them just said.
Qi Lan called him Ji Ning.
Ji Ning, why does this name sound so familiar?
After thinking about it carefully, the man suddenly realized that Ji Ning was the young Taoist disciple who had been offered a large reward by the governor of Xantian Mansion. This man had been in his adventure group all along!
"According to the wanted order from Xantian Mansion, he should be a useless person who only has one enlightenment and cannot practice. But why did he suddenly become a practitioner and have such strong combat power?"
Xue Zhongjing thought for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He was sure that Ji Ning must have a great opportunity, so great that Xuntian Mansion wanted to hunt him down, so great that he could understand all the situations in this underground palace.
"It turns out that my real opportunity is not behind this bronze door."
"It's on you."
Xue Zhongjing opened his eyes with a smile, then slowly stood up and walked towards Ji Ning in front of him!
