"Bang!"
Lu Qi, who hadn't even gotten close to the skeletal sphere, was sent flying by a "foot" that shot out from inside the sphere.
"Bang!"
Before Lu Qi could land on the ground, another "punch" was thrown out from the other skull ball, and Lu Qi was sent flying to the other side.
The skeletal sphere's third attack was also a "foot", but this time, Lu Qi wasn't hit. He quickly landed with his tortoise shell, barely dodging the "foot" that was aimed at him.
"Whoosh!"
The skeletal sphere sent out another punch, and Lu Qi quickly flashed to Meow Meow's side.
"It's too scary! I'm protected by an immortal artifact, but I'm still being beaten up like this. If I didn't have an immortal artifact protecting me, the power of those punches and kicks would be enough to kill a late-stage Soul Formation cultivator! "Lu Qi said with lingering fear.
"This is just a counterattack to protect itself. It's not the real third attack yet. You must withstand it and don't let these attacks disturb me. The immortal formation is about to break! When the third attack appears, prepare the blood you prepared beforehand and sprinkle it on the four skeletal spheres! "
Gongsun Changsheng's voice was very anxious. He could sense the changes in the external forces. While they terrified him, they also made him realize that someone was breaking the immortal formation outside! Due to the different methods used to break the immortal formation, they were easily affected by the negative effects inside the killing formation, and this could very well be fatal.
The third attack came in the end. It was still in the form of a "palm" and a "foot", but this time, the "palm" and "foot" weren't formed by pure energy of heaven and earth, but by a mixture of the energy of heaven and earth and a kind of evil Qi that could make one's heart palpitate.
"Sprinkle the blood!"
Gongsun Changsheng shouted anxiously. Lu Qi had already taken out his jade bottle immortal artifact and shot out four streams of demonic blood in a row.
The skeletal spheres didn't attack in the face of the demonic blood. The demonic blood entered the sphere through the gaps formed by the skeletons, and the sphere's rotation slowed down immediately.
As the sphere's rotation slowed down, so did the shadows of the fists and feet in the air. The originally rapid flight turned into a slow floating motion.
The immortal formation was about to break, and the domineering attacks in the air slowed down. Even if the sphere absorbed the demonic blood quickly, it was still enough for Gongsun Changsheng to break the immortal formation!
But just as Gongsun Changsheng was getting excited, the light formation suddenly shone brightly.
"Bastard!"
Gongsun Changsheng cursed inwardly, and turned to a corner of the formation. He saw a pinpoint of light the size of a needle that was gradually growing larger.
Without telling anyone what happened, Gongsun Changsheng decisively gave up trying to break the immortal formation, and charged, as fast as he could to the light.
Meow Meow was taken aback by Gongsun Changsheng's unusual behavior. If she was the only one in the killing formation, she would have followed him without hesitation. However, Gu Zheng was also in the killing formation, so she could only cast a questioning gaze at him.
Meow Meow was momentarily stunned, but Lu Qi wasn't. When he saw Gongsun Changsheng flee, he gave chase without a moment's hesitation.
Everything happened too suddenly. When Gongsun Changsheng rushed in front of the light spot, it, which was originally the size of a needle tip, had shrunk to the size of a peanut.
Without any hesitation, Gongsun Changsheng crashed into the light spot, and his body disappeared into the killing array.
A second after Gongsun Changsheng disappeared, Lu Qi disappeared as well.
"Rumble!"
The entire formation shook, and the immortal formation on the stone wall, which represented the activation of the immortal formation, suddenly dimmed.
Cao Yi had broken the third immortal formation from the outside, and Gongsun Changsheng and Lu Qi had escaped before the immortal formation's space changed. However, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow were trapped in the immortal formation's space, and there was no trace of them in the real world.
Of course, Cao Yi had paid a price for breaking the immortal formation from the outside. There was no one else around her, and they had all become her sacrificial lambs.
"Son of a b * tch, you're courting death!"
When Gu Zheng and Meow Meow disappeared, Lu Qi's anger exceeded everyone's imagination. Still wearing his tortoise shell, he crashed into Cao Yi.
"Hehe, what are you angry about?"
Cao Yi waved her hand, and the puppet she'd used to break the formation grew in size, and punched Lu Qi in his tortoise shell.
Bam!
With a loud noise, a shocking scene took place. The Wizard Doll actually knocked Lu Qi, who was wearing a tortoiseshell, away.
"You …"
Lu Qi's eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue. Gongsun Changsheng had the same reaction.
On the surface, Cao Yi was only a cultivator at the late stage of Level Five. She would definitely suffer a backlash if she used a mid-level fairy weapon. However, when she used the mid-level fairy weapon, the Wizard Doll, there was no sign of a backlash! What was even more shocking was that Lu Qi was originally a cultivator in the late stage of Soul Formation. His green tortoise shell was also a mid-level immortal weapon. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to be sent flying by a punch.
Although they couldn't figure out what caused the abnormality, this confrontation had made Lu Qi and Gongsun Changsheng pay enough attention to Cao Yi.
"You're from the Demon Sect, right?" Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.
"That's right." Cao Yi twirled her hair with her fingers as if nothing had happened.
"Who are you? Do you dare to show your true face? "Lu Qi asked again.
"If you want to see my true face, you have to pay a certain price. Are you sure you want to see it?" Cao Yi's flirtatious expression turned into a cold smile.
Whoosh!
Gongsun Changsheng, who had turned into a shadow, rushed toward a stone door on the cave wall.
Now that the third immortal formation had been broken, there was a stone door on the cave wall. If this stone door wasn't the door to the treasure, Gongsun Changsheng wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. Since he couldn't sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, the best choice was to enter the treasure as soon as possible.
As soon as Gongsun Changsheng moved, Lu Qi immediately wanted to chase after him.
"Lu Qi, don't rush! Although he went in first, without us, he can't open the door to the treasure! "Cao Yi said with a smile.
Lu Qi wasn't surprised that someone called his name. After all, his voice and smile were too unique.
"What do you mean?" Lu Qi asked.
"Let's get straight to the point. If you want to open the stone door to the treasure, you need a special key, and this key is with you and me!"
In Cao Yi's open palm, there was a crystal starfish that looked like a living creature.
"Conch Starfish!"
Lu Qi exclaimed and took out the Conch Starfish that the Black Sky Snail Sect had bought.
"There are two of them! Is it really the key to the treasure? "Lu Qi murmured as he looked at the door to the treasure.
"Yes, it is indeed the key to the treasure. If you want to open the door to the treasure, you can't do without either!" Cao Yi said.
"It seems that you know a lot!"
Lu Qi sneered and then roared, "Since you know that the Conch Starfish is indispensable, why did you dare to break the array outside? If I disappeared like the two inside, I'd like to see how you can open the door to the treasure! "
Cao Yi still didn't get angry after being scolded again, but she frowned, "Disappearing isn't evaporating, you're just temporarily trapped in the 'Frozen Space'. In other words, if you really die in the 'Frozen Space', I'll just open the immortal array and go in to clean up the battlefield. "
Cao Yi paused and then stared at Lu Qi, "Are the two people trapped in the 'Frozen Space' important to you? Why are you so angry? "
Lu Qi's heart moved, but he didn't show it on his face, "What does their life or death have to do with me? I just don't like the feeling of being schemed against behind my back. "
"Haha!" Cao Yi smiled, "Well, since you're not dead, let's talk about cooperation!"
"Cooperation? What do you mean? "
Lu Qi frowned. The cooperation she mentioned was obviously not as simple as opening the door.
"Lu Qi, let's not beat around the bush. I know you have the map of the treasure, and I need to share it with you. This is the cooperation I'm talking about!"
Lu Qi was shocked again. He didn't expect that she would talk to him about cooperation through voice transmission, and he didn't expect that she even knew that he had the map of the treasure.
"Don't talk to me through voice transmission, it's awkward!"
Lu Qi's disgusted voice fell, and then he sneered, "It seems that the Demon Sect has infiltrated deeply! You have people among the higher-ups of the Sacred Blood Sect, right? "
Lu Qi naturally didn't use voice transmission. After all, Gongsun Changsheng was standing at the door of the treasure, listening attentively. The current situation was very complicated, and Lu Qi wasn't sure whether he wanted an ally or not. Which ally did he want? Therefore, in such a situation, he didn't want Gongsun Changsheng to guess what they were plotting.
"Lu Qi, you have no choice but to cooperate with me. If you don't cooperate with me, you can't enter the treasure! And don't think about joining forces with others to kill me and find the Heavenly Conch Starfish! I can tell you that if I want to escape, you can't stop me. But once I escape, it will be difficult for you to see the Heavenly Conch Starfish again. You have been thinking about this treasure day and night for many years, so I advise you not to do anything stupid! "
Cao Yi didn't speak openly as Lu Qi said, nor did she answer his question. This made Lu Qi very angry, and he quickly thought about how to deal with this matter.
"You are too naive. I have been thinking about this treasure day and night. But in other words, if you don't want it, why did you go through so much trouble to come in? Just because of the Heavenly Conch Starfish, you want to share the treasure map with me? It's just wishful thinking! "
Since the treasure map was involved, Lu Qi had to speak through voice transmission.
"Okay, then I'll take a step back. What do you think?"
Cao Yi's voice changed, and she seemed very indifferent.
"The treasure map is long gone. Now it is imprinted in my mind, so if you want to avoid some things in the treasure, you can only follow me. This is all I can do to share it!"
Lu Qi thought that Cao Yi would definitely not agree. After all, he still had the initiative, but who would have thought that Cao Yi would agree, but she had an additional condition.
"Let's make a Heart Demon Oath! How about we not plot against each other in the treasure? "Cao Yi said.
"It's not impossible to make a Heart Demon Oath, but I also have an additional condition. I will only share the first one-third of the treasure map with you!" Lu Qi said.
Cao Yi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, one-third it is! As for the Heart Demon Oath, to show my sincerity, let me do it first! "
"Today, I swear to the Heart Demon Oath that in the process of cooperation with Lu Qi, I will never plot against or harm him. If I violate this oath, I will die in the Heart Demon Realm!"
Cao Yi had already made the oath, but Lu Qi still sneered in his heart, "What nonsense is this to show your sincerity? At this point, what difference does it make who makes this Heart Demon Oath first?"
Although he scolded, Lu Qi also made a Heart Demon Oath, "Today, I swear to the Heart Demon Oath that in the process of cooperation, I will share one-third of the map with Cao Yi. In the process of cooperation, I will never plot against or harm her. If I violate this oath, I will die in the Heart Demon Realm!"
Although this Cao Yi was not the same Cao Yi, Cao Yi did not say that Lu Qi's Heart Demon Oath was not qualified. After all, the Heart Demon Realm was a mysterious thing. Lu Qi swore to her through voice transmission, which was enough.
Two monks drank water, three monks did not drink water. Lu Qi glanced at Gongsun Changsheng, who was standing at the door of the treasure, frowning and looking at him. He said to Cao Yi through voice transmission, "Now that we are allies, how about you and I work together to kill an insignificant person?"
"Sure, since you have the map of the treasure and know how to avoid the dangers, we really don't need to keep him alive." Cao Yi sneered.
"Okay, then let's pretend that we didn't come to an agreement and kill him when the time is right!"
After Lu Qi rushed out of Cao Yi's voice transmission, he immediately said with a cold face, "I don't believe it! Without you, we won't be able to open this treasure! "
Lu Qi walked to the door of the treasure angrily, while Cao Yi followed behind with a frown, looking like she was still persuading him through voice transmission.
When Lu Qi first cooperated with Gongsun Changsheng, he knew that sooner or later, he would fall out with Gongsun Changsheng. He thought that he would fall out with Gongsun Changsheng faster than him, but who would have thought that Gongsun Changsheng would plot against them in the killing array and run away without a word! If he had not been paying attention to Gongsun Changsheng's movements, he would have been trapped in the Space Freeze like Gu Zheng! Therefore, Lu Qi had enough hatred for Gongsun Changsheng.
Gongsun Changsheng made way for Lu Qi, who was eager to try the treasure door, and Lu Qi, who was wearing a tortoise shell, made his move at this moment, raising his palm and pushing Gongsun Changsheng's chest.
Gongsun Changsheng was not completely unprepared, and Lu Qi's fatal blow did not really hit him! However, at this moment, Cao Yi's Magus Doll spat out a large cloud of green mist at Gongsun Changsheng.
Gongsun Changsheng dodged again, but Lu Qi's flying sword had already pierced through his shoulder and flew out.
Moreover, Lu Qi's small flying sword looked completely different from when it was in the killing array. On its golden exterior, there was a layer of burning flames, and its attack was even more domineering than when it was in the killing array.
What did this mean? It meant that Lu Qi did not use his full strength in the killing array!
As soon as the flying sword pierced through Gongsun Changsheng's shoulder, it immediately caught fire.
However, the fire did not succeed in spreading. When it first appeared, Gongsun Changsheng's body had already exploded with a blood-red mist, and the originally extremely hot flames were instantly extinguished.
"Whoosh!"
Gongsun Changsheng, who was running away, threw out a bony fish behind him.
"Roar …"
It was clearly just a skeleton, but the bony fish shook its head and swung its tail as it roared. It was originally only the size of a palm, but the moment it flew out, it became as huge as a whale.
"Whoosh …"
The huge bony fish swallowed Lu Qi's flying sword in one gulp, then opened its mouth and spat out a huge bubble, including Lu Qi and the puppet.
Although he seemed to have the upper hand, Gongsun Changsheng did not dare to stay for even a moment. He did not even dare to touch Cao Yi, who was alone. After flying for a distance, he changed his hand seal, and the bubble that originally included Lu Qi and the puppet suddenly exploded, blowing them out.
"Whoosh …"
The bony fish that was originally staying behind to protect Gongsun Changsheng shrunk in an instant, and flew in the direction where Gongsun Changsheng disappeared.
"Damn it!"
Lu Qi stood up and roared in the direction where Gongsun Changsheng disappeared.
"That's enough! Actually, it's not strange that Gongsun Changsheng was able to escape from our encirclement. After all, he is a person who has been demonized by demonic energy, "Cao Yi said.
"If he wasn't demonized by demonic energy, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the strength to run after being injured by my 'Fire Poison Flying Sword'! But this damned bastard, not only did he escape, he even stole my flying sword! "
Although Lu Qi looked furious, he was actually thinking quickly. Although the encirclement of Gongsun Changsheng was short, Lu Qi noticed something strange. Cao Yi did not make a move!
Lu Qi's initial assessment of Cao Yi was that she should be at the Soul Formation stage! However, whether it was his fight with Cao Yi or the encirclement of Gongsun Changsheng just now, Cao Yi's strength was only represented by the mid-level immortal artifact puppet.
"Could it be that Cao Yi herself is not that strong?"
A thought came to his mind. Although Lu Qi did not show it on his face, he had already made up his mind. After the end of their partnership, he must test Cao Yi's strength again and see how strong this woman who made him so angry was.
"Forget it. Anyway, we should be able to meet this Gongsun Changsheng again in the treasure trove," Cao Yi said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Lu Qi frowned.
"Once we open the door to the treasure trove, we can't close it again. Therefore, Gongsun Changsheng, who is unwilling to give up, will probably chase us to the treasure trove!" Cao Yi said regretfully.
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Qi's eyes widened.
"I don't need to lie to you! Don't just stand there, hurry up and open the treasure trove. The things inside are first come, first served! "Cao Yi reminded him.
"Don't panic, let me try this stone door first!"
The two stone doors did not seem to have any abnormalities. Lu Qi was still a little doubtful. Could this thing really not be opened without the Heavenly Conch Starfish?
Lu Qi infused his immortal energy into the stone door and tried several methods, but the seemingly ordinary stone door still did not budge.
"Hehe."
Cao Yi laughed with a hint of mockery. "Have you given up now? Then let's start! "
Lu Qi, who was a little embarrassed, glared at Cao Yi fiercely. "How do I use the Heavenly Conch Starfish?"
"Just like me."
Cao Yi said lightly, raised her hand and slammed the Heavenly Conch Starfish against the hard stone door.
Lu Qi's eyes widened. The Heavenly Conch Starfish was a crystal stone! Wasn't Cao Yi afraid of breaking it by slamming it so hard?
Lu Qi's worry did not come true after all. After the Heavenly Conch Starfish hit the hard stone door, it immediately stuck to the stone door like a starfish sucking something with a suction cup.
The next moment, the starfish, which was originally a crystal stone, became a living creature. It twisted its body and drilled into the stone door.
"This way!"
Cao Yi pointed to the other stone door.
Lu Qi did not hesitate anymore. He followed Cao Yi's example and slammed the Heavenly Conch Starfish against the stone door.
Soon, Lu Qi's Heavenly Conch Starfish also became a living creature and drilled into the other stone door.
The originally ordinary stone door suddenly flowed with light and color. Accompanied by the strange sound of stone rubbing, the two heavy stone doors slowly opened and a dusty aura rushed out.
