Between the originally neat and tidy mountain rocks, a blazing flame shot up into the sky. The ground began to shake violently. Almost reflexively, Lonemoon quickly conjured a series of hand seals. An array was formed in an instant. It turned into a transparent isolation array and enveloped the person on the ground.
In the next moment, there was a series of crashing sounds as the mountain rocks rolled down. A huge object suddenly rushed out from the ground. Its entire body was burning with flames. It was as big as a mountain, covering the sky and sun. It opened its mouth and let out another angry roar. It was as if the entire world was shaking.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing subconsciously turned to look at the person in the array behind them. Both of them heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. His voice could not pass through the isolation array. He did not wake up!
"What kind of beast is this?" Yi Qing frowned. He had never seen a beast like this before. It was so big that he could not see it clearly. Especially the flames surrounding its body. One look and one could tell that it was not an ordinary fire. The moment it appeared, the surroundings had already been scorched. Even immortals like them could feel the heat from such a distance.
"No, this is not a beast!" Lonemoon's expression darkened. He pointed at the huge object that had already burned half the sky red. "Quick, look inside the fire!"
Yi Qing subconsciously released his Divine Perception to take a closer look. He saw that the deviant flames were actually covered with layers of what looked like metal armor. There were faint talismans flashing inside, and something like a sequin was flashing continuously.
"This …" Rather than saying it was a spirit beast, it was more like a weapon! But the sound just now was clearly that of a beast. Could it be …
Yi Qing was shocked. Understanding dawned on him. He shouted, "It's an artifact spirit!"
This artifact had actually developed sentience! It was not easy for anything to become sentient. What's more, weapons were inanimate objects. Yet it could actually develop sentience! This proved that it was not ordinary to begin with. Perhaps it was a divine artifact.
"Why did we encounter it? This is the Myriad Sword Box!" Xun Shu raised his hand and set up a defensive array to block the raging flames. He shouted, "This is the artifact spirit guarding this place. Its original form is a divine artifact. This fire is the Nine Underworld Flames. Not even divine beings can withstand it, much less immortals. Ordinary water-elemental immortal spells are completely useless against it. We can only attack it forcefully, especially when there's still … "
Before he could finish, there was a ringing sound. Thousands of immortal swords suddenly rushed out of the huge body wrapped in flames. Each of them carried a sharp sword Qi, and the wind blades blotted out the sky as they attacked them.
Myriad Swords Formation! Moreover, they were not condensed from immortal energy. Every single one of them was a real sword!
Yi Qing's expression darkened. He activated all the immortal Qi in his body and turned to Lonemoon. "Look after Master!" With that said, he flew up into the air. His sword Qi turned into a dragon and rushed towards the sky full of sword Qi.
"Got it!" The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched, and he took a few steps back. At the same time, he waved his sword to block the rain of swords that he did not manage to block in time. Not a single sword was allowed to enter the isolation array behind him.
"Wait! What are you doing? "Xun Shu was stunned. He looked at the two of them anxiously." What time is it? You guys even protected her while she slept! This is the artifact spirit of a divine artifact, not the ordinary sword Qi outside. You can't block it! " Divine artifacts were powerful weapons. What's more, this one was sentient. Even the ten Celestial Emperors would not be able to defeat it. "We'd better wake Shen Ying up quickly! Perhaps we can still win … "
As she spoke, she turned to walk towards the isolation array.
"No!" Lonemoon's face paled. He turned the sword in his hand and a row of spirit swords appeared beside Xun Shu. Then, he flew over and grabbed Xun Shu back. In a serious tone that he had never used before, he said, "Trust me, the consequences of waking her up are even more terrifying than that of an artifact spirit!"
"…"
What the hell?
Xun Shu was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, the ground beneath his feet shook. A large number of immortal swords suddenly emerged from the ground and flew towards the direction behind them.
Oh no!
Lonemoon's heart skipped a beat. It was too late for him to turn around and block the immortal swords. He could only watch as the immortal swords emerged from the ground and destroyed the isolation array he had set up.
That was not the end of it. The gigantic artifact spirit suddenly spat out a flame that forced Yi Qing to retreat. Then, it turned around and lunged towards Yi Qing. It opened its huge mouth and bit down.
"Master!" Yi Qing cried out in shock.
However, he could only watch as the huge divine artifact swallowed Shen Ying, who was behind him, along with a radius of more than a hundred feet around her, with a rumble. All that was left was a scorched pit that was more than ten feet wide.
Roar …
A loud roar reverberated through the night sky.
Xun Shu: "…"
Eaten … eaten?!
(⊙_⊙)
Yi Qing and Lonemoon's faces paled. It was as if they had been frozen in place.
"I told you … to wake her up!" Xun Shu looked at the two of them sympathetically. "Otherwise, she wouldn't have …"
"Run!" Before he could finish speaking, Lonemoon suddenly shouted. He turned around and started running.
At the same time, Yi Qing, who was still in midair, also ran on his sword. In a flash, he disappeared.
"…"
Eh?
What was going on? Weren't they sad about their companion's death? Why were they running?
Xun Shu was confused. He did not have time to react. All of a sudden, the artifact spirit in front of him shook. Then, there was a loud rumble. It sounded like something was collapsing. The gigantic divine artifact, which was so tall that its top could not be seen, suddenly collapsed like a building that had been blown up. In an instant, it became a pile of scrap metal. The immortal swords that had filled the sky all fell to the ground like dumplings being thrown into a pot.
With a loud tearing sound, the divine artifact on the ground suddenly split open. The divine artifact's original source, golden light, gushed out. From the center of the golden light, a person slowly walked out. Golden light filled the sky, accompanied by an angry roar.
"So noisy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something overwhelming pouncing on him, causing him to be unable to breathe.
Killing … killing intent. What a strong killing intent!
Immense fear filled his entire body. His entire body turned cold. There was only one word left in his mind: Die!
Suddenly, he understood why the two people reacted the way they did. He could only do the same thing now.
"Run!" He used all the immortal Qi in his body and rushed in the direction that the two people had disappeared. He used his cultivation to the maximum and almost instantly caught up with the two people's speed.
He only hoped that he could make it …
There was a flash of white light and a familiar figure appeared in front of the three people.
The three people: "…"
That was way too fast!
Shen Ying stood there quietly. She was expressionless, but the three of them felt a chill in their hearts. She narrowed her eyes and looked straight at the person on the right. She reached out.
Yi Qing shivered and pulled out a piece of barbecued meat. He shouted, "Master, want supper?"
Her hand paused. She changed her target instantly and looked at the person beside her …
"I have pastries. Do you want some?" Lonemoon immediately held out a bowl. Fortunately, he had secretly hidden a plate for dinner.
Her hand paused again and reached out to the third person …
Xun Shu: "…" Son of a b * tch!
"Wait, what are you doing … Wake up and look carefully … I'm Xun Shu … No … Help!!!"
