Hearing Yuan Jian Yi’s words, Zhang Yangde’s eyes showed some understanding and his mouth opened, as if he wanted to speak.
But before he could speak, he had already lost his breath.
His lungs and heart had been stabbed into a hornet’s nest with sword qi, so how could he still speak? The fact that he was able to hear Yuan Jian Yi’s words for a short time was already a sign of his incredible vitality.
After Zhang Yangde fell to the ground, his true qi did not dissipate, but instead rose up again and wrapped around Zhang Yangde’s body, causing Qing Yu and the others to look at him in amazement.
A person’s death is like a lamp going out, how can true qi still be active when a person is dead? True qi is the result of the intersection of internal energy and the energy of heaven and earth, and internal energy comes through the refinement of essence and qi, when a person dies, the essence is dispersed.
Even if there is any remaining true qi, it will immediately dissipate and turn into heaven and earth’s yuan qi.
Therefore, this black true qi of Zhang Yangde was extremely unusual.
“Bared and bared–”
Sounds like sulfuric acid corroding objects kept coming, only to see Zhang Yangde’s corpse rapidly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the amount of black true qi had grown significantly.
“This this this —— this true qi – is alive ——” Bu Peng Yue shuddered and pointed at the black true qi, shivering straight away.
Yes, from the current situation, this black true qi is like a living creature, and a living creature that eats people, Zhang Yangde’s body is devoured and digested by it to grow in size.
“What is Long Hu Mountain doing here ——,” Qing Yu also sighed in a bit of disbelief.
It was hard to imagine that this kind of bizarre true qi that ate people was appearing in a disciple of Mount Longhu, the head of the Daoist sect, and from what Qiao Baixuan had said earlier, he could tell that this was not a special case for Zhang Yangde.
It was not that Zhang Yangde had a vicious mind and had disappeared into an evil path, but that there was secretly a lineage similar to Zhang Yangde’s at Mount Longhu.
After observing for a moment, Yuan Jian Yi suddenly sent out a sword qi that shot at the black true qi that was slowly writhing on Zhang Yangde’s corpse.
The sharp sword qi shot a gaping hole in this black real qi, but it was quickly filled.
It was not that Yuan Jian Yi’s sword qi was ineffective, but his sword qi was too solid and unsuitable to destroy this black true qi that covered so much.
“I’ll do it.”
Qing Yu raised his hand with luck and the ‘Fire of Ignorance’ flared up in the air, not seeing its shape and colour, but one could intuitively feel the sudden rise in temperature.
The ‘Fire of Ignorance’ covered the black true qi in its entirety without showing any gaps. Under the high temperature scorch, countless ghostly faces faintly emerged from the black true qi, as if they were wailing in pain.
The sight of this kind of ghosts made the other Peng Yue’s eyes look away.
Qing Yu and Yuan Jian Yi, however, looked as normal as ever and kept staring. It could be expected that this kind of black real qi might appear again in the future, so if they observed its characteristics, they would have a way to deal with it later.
Soon, the black true qi was scorched clean by Qing Yu’s ‘Fire of Ignorance’, leaving only the remnants of Zhang Yangde’s corpse in place, which Qing Yu burnt to ashes in case there were any left.
“Now that I think about it, I do know why Brother Yuan said that Zhang Yangde’s True Qi was not cultivated by himself.” Qing Yu said.
This kind of active true qi, if Zhang Yangde was capable of practicing it on his own, he wouldn’t have died at the hands of Yuan Jian Yi.
Thinking about it this way, the amount of Zhang Yangde’s true qi before, as well as the spiritual nature of the true qi transforming into a form could also be explained. Why would he have such weirdness as a Xiantian realm martial artist, it turned out to be all because of this black true qi.
“I have a more sensitive perception.” Yuan Jian Yi said briefly.
At this moment, the rotation of the rocking light stone chamber finally stopped, and the stone door rose up, revealing the pa*sage afterwards.
In the previous pa*sage, a group of disciples from the Sword Dao Palace were also pouring in.
It was after meeting up with the other fellow disciples that Yuan Jian Yi had come through the Sword Heart Stone to find the last one left alone, Bu Peng Yue.
While the other Jiandao Palace disciples had not entered the stone room with their swords, it was only at this point that they entered and met up with Yuan Jianyi.
One of the disciples saw the iron sword fragment on the ground with a very sharp eye, then ——
The first thing you need to do is to take out an iron sword of the same type from the rectangular wooden box behind you and give it to Yuan Jian Yi. After receiving the sword, Yuan Jian Yi waved it a few times to get used to it and then incorporated it into the scabbard of the previous iron sword.
The corners of Qing Yu’s eyes twitched slightly at this scene.
“Since everyone has arrived, let’s set off for Ziwei Yuan over there.” Qing Yu said.
The pa*sageway to Ziwei Yuan was the same pa*sageway that Qiao Baixuan had previously disappeared through, and there were still drops of Qiao Baixuan’s blood falling low on the ground. He had not only paid attention to the direction of the pa*sage at all times during the fierce fight, but had also kept in mind where the pa*sage to Ziwei Yuan was.
This discovery made Qing Yu’s scorn for Qiao Baixuan deepen.
——————
Soon after Qing Yu and the Sword Path Palace group left, another group stepped into the rocking light stone chamber.
The stone door descended and the stone chamber began to slowly rotate.
When those who came later saw the two holes in the stone wall, they all sucked in a breath of cold air and were shocked.
It was not as if no one had thought of breaking through the stone walls and going straight out in order to get out of the chamber as quickly as possible. However, the hardness of the stone walls was beyond their imagination. With their kung fu power, it would take a lot of time and true qi to break through the stone walls.
It would not be wise to risk expending their true qi in this inherited ruin where many bodies had already fallen. Moreover, the time it would take for them to laboriously break through the stone wall would be enough to rotate the stone chamber that was not large enough to stop again.
“The cut is neat and smooth, it’s Yuan Jian Yi.” Bu Lengchuan said as he reached out to touch the hole Yuan Jian Yi had cut when he entered the stone chamber.
Luo Yan stood on the other side and observed the hole that had been broken by Qiao Baixuan, “The hole on my side should have been broken by someone with extremely strong palm force.”
“Moreover, there should have been a great battle in the stone room. These people were all killed with a single sword strike, cleanly, but judging from the wounds, it doesn’t look like Yuan Jian Yi’s sword energy. This kind of sword technique reminds me of Li Qiu Ran’s death yesterday.” In the middle of the stone room, Zhu Kong of Luofu Mountain stood up from the pile of corpses.
The death of these people was truly horrifying, one sword at a time, the killer killing them as easily as if he were slaughtering a small chicken.
If Qing Yu had known what was going on here, he would have been surprised by this.
Not for the fact that Luo Yan and the others had analysed how these traces came to be, but for their union.
Department Six Sect and Luo Fu Mountain, plus a True Martial Sect, they had actually joined forces.
“Luo Yan, do you know which direction they went?” Bu Lengchuan asked.
Luo Yan cast his “Wind Listening Technique” in his side ear, and after a little discernment, pointed to the direction Qing Yu and the others had left.
All along the way, they had used Luo Yan’s “Wind Listening Technique” to arrive at the Shaking Light Stone Chamber accurately. The other forces were still in the maze without the help of the “Hearing Wind Technique”.
After pointing out the direction, all the people present took a deep breath to relieve the pressure in their hearts. They knew that they were about to encounter some powerful monsters and that if they were not careful, they would be just like these corpses.
“If you’re ready, then let’s go.”
With that, Luo Yan took the lead and walked into the pa*sage from the hole that Qiao Baixuan had struck. The others followed close behind.
