Xia Ruofei waved his right hand, and eight small flags accurately flew in eight different directions, directly inserting themselves into the hard stone floor.
At the most critical moment, Xia Ruofei's mind flashed with inspiration, and he thought of using the Time Formation.
His understanding of formations had already reached a very high level, and the operation of the formation flags was not complicated. With the help of his powerful spiritual power, setting up the formation was only a matter of seconds.
The moment all the formation flags were in place, Xia Ruofei immediately saw Song Wei, who was shooting toward him, suddenly slow down. Originally, he could not see her figure and movement trajectory clearly, but now, she was as slow as a movie's slow-motion.
Xia Ruofei had set up a Time Deceleration Formation.
Moreover, he had tried his best to reduce the range of the formation. This formation only covered a small area where he was, so the effect was almost maximized.
Now, the flow of time inside the formation was at least eighty to ninety times slower than outside the formation. In other words, one second inside the formation was equivalent to one or two minutes outside. Therefore, no matter how fast the spirit occupying Song Wei's body was, in Xia Ruofei's eyes, she was as slow as a snail.
Xia Ruofei did not have time to use the Spirit Heart Flower's petals to heal his injuries. He directly took out the pistol from the Ring-Tu space, aimed at Song Wei's knee, and fired.
When the spirit saw Xia Ruofei throw out the formation flags, she did not take it to heart at first. However, when the formation flags were in place, she was shocked to find that Xia Ruofei's movements were many times faster. Even with her cultivation, she could only see a few afterimages. Her heart could not help but tremble.
Following the sound of a gunshot, the spirit did not even think about it and accelerated to dodge.
However, when Xia Ruofei fired the gun, he had already predicted the spirit's movement trajectory. In his eyes, the spirit's speed was very slow, so it was not very difficult to determine the trajectory and trend of the spirit's movement.
Therefore, it was fine if the spirit did not dodge. When she dodged, it was as if she sent herself to the front of the bullet, and the bullet accurately hit Song Wei's knee.
The spiritual body's speed suddenly slowed down. Even though the bullet did not have the killing effect that Xia Ruofei had hoped for due to her powerful cultivation, it still caused her kneecap to be shaken and damaged. After all, this was only the body of an ordinary person, and its strength could not be compared to the body of the spiritual body when it was alive.
As a result, the spirit's speed was even more affected.
She was extremely angry, and her eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent as she looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei did not give the spirit a chance to catch her breath. The gun in his hand kept firing, and the spirit tried her best to dodge. However, with the help of the time formation, Xia Ruofei took the initiative. Whether it was the speed of his firing, the speed of the gun's muzzle, or the prediction of the trajectory, they were all unimaginable to the spirit.
After a while, the spirit had been shot several times. Under Xia Ruofei's control, the parts of the body that were shot were her hands, feet, lower abdomen, and other areas. In addition, the spirit's powerful cultivation did not cause any serious damage. However, this still caused a lot of trouble for the spirit. She could not get close to Xia Ruofei for a while.
After all, she had not really reached the level of invulnerability. When Xia Ruofei fired, she still had to dodge. Every time she was about to get close to Xia Ruofei, she would be forced back by Xia Ruofei's gun.
The spirit suddenly stopped and said coldly, "It seems that you don't care about your friend's body …"
Xia Ruofei stared into the spirit's eyes and said, "If you leave, I will naturally stop attacking!"
The spirit sneered and said, "I've waited for 200 years for a suitable body. Do you think I'll leave just because you want me to?"
Xia Ruofei snorted and said, "Then I'll beat you until you leave!"
The spirit laughed and said, "Little guy, do you really think I'm afraid? I don't mind telling you that if you use that strange hidden weapon to attack me again, I won't dodge or resist. At worst, this body will be destroyed, and I won't lose anything. I'll just have to wait for a few more days! But I'm afraid your friend will … "
"You don't have to worry about that!" Xia Ruofei said coldly.
Then he raised the pistol again and fired another shot at Song Wei's body without hesitation.
At this time, the spirit had already retreated to a relatively far position. Logically speaking, she should have had time to react, but just as she said, she did not dodge at all. With a trace of a playful smile on her face, she stood in place and endured the spear.
This time, Xia Ruofei still aimed at the leg. After the gunshot, Xia Ruofei's eyes narrowed because he saw that the spirit did not resist. Song Wei's calf was hit by the bullet, and a bloody bullet hole appeared. Soon, blood flowed out.
Xia Ruofei's heart could not help but tremble. Although he had always wanted to hurt the spirit, he could not help but tremble when he saw Song Wei's body bleeding.
At this time, Song Wei's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, "Next time, I won't stand still …"
Xia Ruofei was a little puzzled, but the other party's next words made his expression change drastically.
This was because the spirit said, "I'll put a vital part of my body up, such as here …"
The spirit pointed at Song Wei's heart and said mockingly, "If this place is hit by your hidden weapon, do you think your friend will still be alive?"
Xia Ruofei's expression turned very ugly. The thing he was most worried about had happened. Once the spirit did not care about Song Wei's body, he would have to hold back from taking action. In addition, the spirit's cultivation was much stronger than Xia Ruofei's. If it were not for the help of the Time Formation, he would not be a match for it at all. The situation now seemed even worse.
After the spirit finished speaking, she approached Xia Ruofei with a murderous look on her face.
Xia Ruofei's expression changed slightly. If the spirit rushed over without a care, it would be really difficult for him to deal with it. If he rashly opened fire, it might really cause fatal damage to Song Wei's body. Even if the spirit could not accurately put a vital part of her body up, if she dodged completely without any pattern, Xia Ruofei could not guarantee that there would not be an accident.
And if he did not open fire, once the spirit rushed into the formation, Xia Ruofei would have almost no ability to resist.
Xia Ruofei's mind raced as he decisively waved his hand to retrieve the formation flag. Then, he rushed toward the stone room's door. Based on his previous experience, the spirit did not seem to dare to leave the stone room's vicinity. In a situation where there was no other way, Xia Ruofei could only ensure his own safety first. Otherwise, he would not be able to save Song Wei.
The spirit's lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, "Don't you think it's too late to leave now?"
After saying that, her figure flashed and blocked Xia Ruofei's escape route with absolute speed. She stood between Xia Ruofei and the stone room's door.
Xia Ruofei could feel the spirit's undisguised murderous intent. His heart sank. He couldn't leave, and he couldn't fight. He felt a deep sense of helplessness as if he was at a dead end.
The spirit's eyes emitted a cold light as she slowly approached Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei secretly sighed as he madly circulated the Dao Formula, preparing to fight to the death.
At this moment, a heavy sigh suddenly sounded in the stone room.
The spirit's footsteps paused as she approached Xia Ruofei. Her expression suddenly changed as she turned her head and stared in a certain direction of the stone room.
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment before he followed the spirit's gaze.
He saw that the smooth stone wall was slowly parting to both sides, revealing a square cave that was about two meters long and wide and three to four meters deep.
A huge copper coffin was placed in this cave. The copper coffin was engraved with complicated patterns and patterns. One look at it and one couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Old man! You're not dead yet? "the spirit said hatefully with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Even a scourge like you isn't dead. How can I die!?"
This voice seemed to come from all directions. Although it sounded very old, it contained a bit of a sharp aura. It actually caused Xia Ruofei's eardrums to ache.
The spirit snorted and said, "So what if you're not dead? Do you think you can stop me? "
The old voice calmly said, "After so many years, you still can't let go of the obsession in your heart? Your physical body has already been destroyed. Why force it? "
"It's none of your business!" The spirit said sternly. "If it weren't for you, old fart, I wouldn't have fallen into such a plight!"
"You should know that the reason your spirit can survive until now is because I showed mercy," the old voice said.
The spirit sneered and said, "Is that so? If I remember correctly, you were also seriously injured at that time. You couldn't even leave that coffin. If you had the ability to completely kill me, would you have let me live for another two hundred years? "
The old voice sighed and said, "Leave that woman's body and let go of the young man in front of you. You can still keep your spirit from being destroyed …"
"Bullsh * t!" the spirit scolded. "Living like that is worse than death. It's better for my spirit to be destroyed! It wasn't easy for me to find a suitable body. You want me to give it up with just a few words? You're dreaming! And this kid, he's ruined my plans time and time again. If I don't kill him, where will my face go? "
"Stubborn!" the old voice said. "It seems that I can only enforce justice on behalf of the heavens again …"
As soon as this voice fell, the copper coffin began to creak. This sound was very frightening, making people feel as if the roots of their teeth were sore.
Xia Ruofei watched as the lid of the copper coffin was slowly pushed open. Then, a bone-like pale hand reached out from the copper coffin. He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Is this a human or a ghost?
It wouldn't be a zombie, would it?
The spirit's expression changed drastically. She subconsciously took two steps back. Staring at the copper coffin, she asked, "Have … have your injuries been suppressed?"
She knew how terrifying this opponent was. The reason why she was so fearless just now was because she also knew that the opponent had been seriously injured in the great battle two hundred years ago. He had to suppress his injuries in the Land of Extreme Yin. This stone room was originally a place where cold Yin Qi gathered, and the copper coffin was set up with a powerful Yin Gathering Array.
If the opponent recovered from his injuries and could even leave the copper coffin, she might not be a match for him.
The old voice directly answered the spirit's question with action. The other hand reached out from the copper coffin. Then, a person — or more accurately, a mummy — slowly came out of the copper coffin.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but take a deep breath. Is this really a person? The "mummy" in front of him was dressed in ragged clothes. It was the kind of person who was literally skin and bones. From a distance, it was basically no different from a skeleton.
If it weren't for the pair of turbid eyes in the deep eye sockets that occasionally revealed some spirit, Xia Ruofei would really think that it was a skeleton.
He was quite shocked. Listening to the conversation between the "mummy" and the spirit, the "mummy" should have been lying in the copper coffin for two hundred years. It was actually still alive after two hundred years. Moreover, it had been two hundred years in the copper coffin without eating or drinking. Even the current Xia Ruofei, who had come into contact with cultivation, still found this somewhat inconceivable.
Compared to Xia Ruofei's curiosity and surprise, the spirit was even more shocked.
There was a trace of fear in her eyes, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
"I don't believe that you dare to leave the copper coffin!" the spirit said in a threatening manner. "Do you want to die?"
The upper body of the "mummy" had already come out of the copper coffin. He cracked a smile, and this smile was somewhat terrifying in Xia Ruofei's eyes.
The "mummy" said indifferently, "You know my strength. It won't be a problem for me to kill you before I die!"
The spirit gritted her teeth and asked, "Old man, what's the relationship between these two people and you? Is it worth it for you to risk your life to protect them? "
The Mummy said, "No matter whose body you've taken over, I won't let you succeed. We've already spent 200 years together. How can I just watch you succeed in taking over the body and continue to wreak havoc in the world?"
"Don't give me these high-sounding words!" The spirit said disdainfully. "I don't believe that an old man like you would give up your life for the so-called righteousness!"
The "mummy" gave Xia Ruofei a meaningful look, and then said, "Believe it or not, won't you know if you try? I know that you're constantly eroding that woman's soul, so don't try to stall for time. I'll give you ten breaths to consider. If you don't leave that woman's body after ten breaths, I'll kill you even if I have to give up my life! "
The spirit trembled slightly and stared at the "mummy". She said, "Old man, you're being too nosy! Even if I succeed in taking over a body, I won't be able to leave here. Your reason isn't valid at all! "
The "mummy" said indifferently, "You have seven breaths to make your choice."
"How about we make a deal?" said the spirit. "If you don't stop me from taking over a body, I'll tell you the whereabouts of that thing …"
The expression in the "mummy's" eyes changed obviously, and Xia Ruofei also looked nervous. He knew that this was a very critical moment.
Xia Ruofei didn't know why the "mummy" wanted to help him and Song Wei, but Xia Ruofei knew very well that the "mummy" was obviously tempted. If he didn't care about this matter, then it would be difficult for him and Song Wei to escape.
