"You're late."
The Devil Lord's remnant shadow had been waiting for ages with an undying will. It seemed that he was waiting to say such an insignificant sentence, which confused and surprised Mengqi.
It seemed that as long as someone intruded, he would say the words in his heart. Then his will would disappear and his remnant shadow would disappear.
Was he speaking these words to himself, or was he speaking to the person who had waited for so many years but had yet to arrive? Or was he speaking to a certain person who had met his gaze here countless years ago?
If someone had gotten his inheritance in advance, why would his will continue to exist and wait for him to say such words?
If he had sighed to someone like this years ago, why would his obsession not disappear and remain until today?
Countless questions flooded Mengqi's mind. He didn't know how to explain this strange scene.
As the Devil Lord's shadow slowly dissipated, the dark mountain suddenly shook violently. The mountain walls slid and the rocks cracked as if it was experiencing a terrible earthquake.
The earth covered with black gravel rumbled and undulated with cracks everywhere. The dark red blood moon fell in the distance with a long flame tail.
Boom!
The blood moon fell to the ground and exploded fiercely, filling the sky with smoke and dust.
The evil spirit howled, but its body couldn't restrain itself from dissipating. Its black flesh and blood fell and its snow-white bones withered.
The whole Devil Tomb seemed to be coming to an end. It seemed that it was about to fall apart, which made Mengqi recover from countless questions.
Suddenly, he had an idea. He waved the Red Sun Evil Blade to the side, and with a faint charm, he slashed at Little Zi, drawing a beautiful trace.
He didn't know when she had unsealed her acupoints and recovered her Kung Fu. With a graceful posture, she suddenly attacked like a swallow gliding over the water.
The blade fell, the palm turned, and the person retreated.
"Little Zi" looked at Mengqi with a smile and said without any guilt, "When did you know that I'm not Little Zi?"
Mengqi made the starting move of Peace Quietude Split. His face was calm and his heart was neither angry nor afraid. He said flatly, "I've always been on guard against Gu Xiaosang."
Whether it was Little Zi or not, he had to be on guard. Besides, the Devil Tomb had begun to collapse. As long as he wasn't killed instantly, he had a great chance to survive. If it weren't for the vitality inside, he wouldn't have pushed the door open!
However, was it because his acupoint technique was too bad, or did Gu Xiaosang have some other unique skill that could silently break the acupoints?
Gu Xiaosang giggled and said, "Thanks to you understanding the Gist of Trueness of 'Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship', otherwise I would have to take the risk to open the door myself. You're so kind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qi felt the Qi field around him change and collapse in Gu Xiaosang's direction. He could not help but fall forward. The stone tablet with the dragon and phoenix inscription seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand. It rose into the air and flew toward Gu Xiaosang.
Mengqi didn't have the slightest greed for the Boundary Monument of the Celestial Court. He focused on dealing with Gu Xiaosang. Although he now had Pearflower Storm Needles, Death Seeing Dart, Golden Bell Shield, and the second move of Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship "Mortal Dust Fall", the gap between him and her was not smaller than the gap between him and An Guoxie after Enlightenment!
Fortunately, he didn't need to defeat her. As long as he held on for a while, the Devil Tomb would collapse completely, and the main task would be over the limit. Then he could return to the World of Samsara.
However, facing an enemy with such a big gap in strength, pure defense couldn't last long. Only with a desperate heart and attack could he make the enemy hesitate and buy time!
For this point, Mengqi was very clear. He didn't hesitate or be stingy. A metal black tube appeared in his left hand, reflecting the cold light of thunder.
Pearflower Storm Needles!
Taking advantage of the collapsing aura, Mengqi aimed at Gu Xiaosang and gently pressed the button. Suddenly, the silver light filled the sky like a storm and hit Gu Xiaosang.
At the same time, he slashed out the Red Sun Evil Blade in his right hand. Greed, anger, obsession, love, separation, resentment, fear, and all the sufferings of the world seemed to appear in front of him.
After comprehending "Mortal Dust Fall", Mengqi's "Peace Quietude Split" became more Samadhi. It was as if under the blade, the tranquil Zen forest turned into a boundless sea of bitterness. It was difficult and unwilling to be freed!
Facing the double attack of Pearflower Storm Needles and "Peace Quietude Split", Mengqi's most powerful killing move, Gu Xiaosang's flawless face was still smiling. She crossed her palms and the aura collapsed again. It continued to spin in front of her, forming a terrible whirlpool of air, which unexpectedly caught the dense silver light.
Then, the whirlpool dispersed and the airflow overflowed. The Pearflower Storm Needles flew in all directions and fell to the ground.
After Gu Xiaosang crossed her palms, the ribbons on her white dress all rose up, fluttering like a fairy. The surroundings suddenly became ethereal and picturesque, as if a compassionate and holy voice had descended.
"The world of mortals is like a prison, all living beings are suffering. Reincarnation is endless, suffering is endless. Have pity on the people, a god has descended from heaven. Ajati Matriarch, Vacuum Hometown!"
"Ajati Matriarch, Vacuum Hometown!"
She changed her palms to fingers and retracted the airflow, collapsing in front of Mengqi's blade, producing a great suction, as if Mengqi had taken the initiative to send the Buddhist Commandment Blade in front of her fingers.
The light condensed and the blade dispersed. Mengqi took a few steps back, feeling his Blood Essence and Internal Qi tumbling uncontrollably. If his "Peace Quietude Split" was not an ordinary move, he was afraid that he would have become a mummy!
"You forced me to use two of my ultimate moves. I'm a little reluctant to kill you." The Pearflower Storm Needles was still a great threat to Gu Xiaosang, so she did not take advantage of Mengqi's difficulty to attack. She was also taking a breather. At the same time, she caught the Boundary Monument of the Celestial Court. Using some unknown method, the monument rapidly shrunk to the size of a palm and was put into her pocket.
The shadow of the Devil Lord almost disappeared. The Nine Heavens God Thunderspear's Essence Qi kept expanding and shrinking, as if it could not find a target.
The mountain shook violently as if it would collapse at any time. The dark land in the distance had been completely divided by a deep rift.
"But who asked Little Zi to like you?" Gu Xiaosang looked at Mengqi who had put up a new stance and smiled. "I'll let you try 'Myriad Threads and Thousands of Threads'."
As she spoke, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the airflow danced wildly. Mengqi, whose eyebrows were swollen, vaguely felt that there were invisible threads wandering around, catching, and reaching out from all directions.
"Is this her weapon?" Mengqi suddenly understood. He calmed his mind and planned to use "Mortal Dust Fall", which he had just comprehended, to take the enemy by surprise.
He did not use the Sacrifice Formula before, so he planned to use "Mortal Dust Fall" now!
Looking at the current situation, as long as this knife could interrupt Gu Xiaosang's attack, he had a chance to hold on until the Devil Tomb collapsed.
The figure of the Devil Lord completely dissipated, and the electric light of the purple Thunder Spear froze in the air. The will faded, and the Essence Qi began to rapidly dissipate. Gu Xiaosang took a step forward, and the threads converged, cutting toward Mengqi!
Mengqi was about to use "Sacrifice Formula" when suddenly a purple light shone in front of him, and a loud roar rang in his ears. He was stunned on the spot.
The last remaining trace of Essence Qi of the "Nine Heavens God Thunderspear" changed, and the thick purple lightning directly struck toward Mengqi!
Gu Xiaosang was shocked and did not dare to rush forward. Her feet slipped, as if dancing on ice, and she floated back.
No matter how much of the Essence Qi of the "Nine Heavens God Thunderspear" had dissipated, as the symbol of the ancient Thunder God, it had its own mystery. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it should not be forcibly resisted.
Mengqi was locked by the last trace of Essence Qi of the "Nine Heavens God Thunderspear". His soul and body felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and he could not move at all. He had no choice but to watch the purple lightning fall on the back of his hand.
"Boom!"
This time, the thunder directly exploded inside Mengqi's body, and he only felt the related Aperture acupoints of his Ear Aperture being broken through one by one.
"Boom!"
The thunder sounded again, but it lacked the mystery of directly shaking the Aperture acupoints. Instead, there was purple lightning circling him, crackling, and constantly refining Mengqi's Golden Bell Shield, making the dark golden light gradually condense.
"Boom!"
The sound gradually faded, and Mengqi came to his senses. He found that the purple lightning and thunder were all gone, and there was a bright purple mark on the back of his hand. It was in the shape of a lightning bolt, with a faint majesty and nobility.
The thunderbolt mark shrank inward and slowly disappeared, but Mengqi knew that if he used all his strength, the thunderbolt mark would reappear on the back of his hand.
"What is this?" Mengqi was quite surprised. Why did the Essence Qi of the "Nine Heavens God Thunderspear" choose him, and what was the use of this thunderbolt mark?
Moreover, under the washing of the electric Essence Qi, the fifth level of his Golden Bell Shield was rising steadily, and it was not far from completion.
The most important thing was that the thunder that seemed to come from the Ninth Heaven, with unimaginable mystery of sound, had opened nine related Aperture acupoints of his Ear Aperture, and he only needed to condense them later.
Normally, there were three steps for Mengqi to condense an Aperture acupoint. Genuine Qi stimulation, slow opening, and condensing according to the law. The first two steps took the most time, so he had originally planned to spend six or seven months to condense the related Aperture acupoints of his Ear Aperture. Now it seemed that he could complete it in one month. The time saved could be used to try to enlighten the Apertures without the assistance of elixirs, and make up for the hidden dangers.
These thoughts flashed through Mengqi's mind, and he immediately restrained himself. He could not be distracted in the face of a formidable enemy.
Gu Xiaosang looked at the scene just now with a confused expression, and her lips slightly parted, showing a rare trace of a young girl's aura.
She came to her senses and smiled. "Well, we're even. I got the boundary marker of the Celestial Court, and you got the Essence Qi of the Holy Thunder. In this way, you can die with a clear conscience."
Before her voice died away, because the will of the Devil Lord had disappeared, the Essence Qi of the "Nine Heavens God Thunderspear" of the Nine Heavens God Thunderspear slowly collapsed, and the water on the peak swayed as if something was broken.
"Little monk?" Jiang Zhiwei appeared in a corner with a sword in hand. Her face was pale, and she looked at Mengqi with slight surprise.
But she quickly came to her senses and used Yama's Invitation to attack Gu Xiaosang.
On the other side, Qi Zhengyan, who was stained with blood, also appeared. His face, which was usually expressionless, showed some astonishment.
Chixia's eyes turned, and he looked at Gu Xiaosang cautiously.
In this situation, Mengqi pondered. Perhaps from different paths, there would be different stone gates, and different views of the peak. This could be an illusion, or the overlapping of different spaces.
But judging from the fact that they all returned to his side in the end, this was the place where the will of the Devil Lord and the shadow really existed.
Gu Xiaosang was instantly surrounded, but she was not afraid at all. She smiled at Jiang Zhiwei and said, "You seem to have used the Anatta Sword again. You don't look good."
She did not wait for Jiang Zhiwei to answer, and carefully looked at Qi Zhengyan again. With a slightly strange expression, she said, "You can actually come up here alive?"
As she spoke, her body gradually became transparent. White lotuses bloomed around her, and the fragrance assailed her nostrils.
After obtaining the boundary marker of the Celestial Court, her task was considered completed. As for the main task, she had already prepared to deduct the Karma points.
Therefore, with the clear purpose of this trip, she did not hesitate to return before the battle began.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiwei was not in a good state, Mengqi did not want to fight Gu Xiaosang here, so he just watched her leave. She was almost intact. Although he and Qi Zhengyan each had their own unique skills, their strength was far behind hers, and they had also consumed a lot of energy.
