Chapter 674: Escape with the Treasure
The sky was full of light, and heavy spiritual pressures were pressing in like a storm.
It was obvious that Qing Zhi and the Demon Wolf King had found the Tianji Lock and were fighting fiercely.
Ye Chunyang raised his head and saw this scene, and his heart sank. If they were fighting somewhere else, it would be fine, but they chose to approach this place. Once they returned here, he would be involved again.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang pinched the mustard seed card and prepared to find a place where the void storm was weaker to evacuate.
While he was thinking about how to get out, the battle in the air not far away had become fierce.
The sharp sword energy crossed down like a rain curtain, and a tall wolf-shaped monster kept releasing magic energy to resist it, while the Tianji Lock flashing with golden light was suspended between the two, and never fell.
On the other side, several figures stared at the place with serious eyes, but did not dare to get too close to the battle circle, so as not to be affected by the fight between the two Yuanying cultivators.
In the sword light, Qing Zhi's figure flashed, and the hilt of the sword in his hand waved continuously. After forcing the Demon Wolf King to retreat with one blow, he suddenly flew into the air, and his five fingers stretched out to the Tianji Lock like a dragon.
Seeing this, the Demon Wolf King would not agree. After turning around, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth. A closer look showed that it was a blood knife covered with strange patterns and as thin as a cicada's wing.
However, the blood knife flashed and disappeared, as if it disappeared out of thin air. But just when Qing Zhi was about to catch up with the Tianji Lock, it suddenly appeared, and pointed directly at its vital point with a "swish"!
Qing Zhi's face changed slightly. Seeing that the Tianji Lock was about to be obtained, he had to stop and turn back under the pressure of the blood knife. He immediately shouted angrily, pinched his fingers, and chanted a low spell. A circle of ripples suddenly spread around the demon, and in a blink of an eye, it became substantial. The Demon Wolf King was immediately covered by it without being able to defend himself.
However, the demon seemed to have been prepared. After a "bang" sound spread from its demon body, the demon's eyes turned red, and a round of blood light circled around it. In an instant, the demon light increased greatly, and the blood knife that attacked Qing Zhi appeared again, smashing the spiritual light ripples cast by Qing Zhi and breaking free from it.
Once freed from the restraints, the Demon Wolf King smiled grimly and jumped up. Without casting a spell, his body flashed and turned into a black light, approaching the Tianji Lock in the blink of an eye.
Qing Zhi snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand was like a long dragon, making bursts of clear sounds. The Demon Wolf King was just approaching, and before he could grab the Tianji Lock, a faint blood mark appeared on his arm. At the same time, Qing Zhi flew over on a sword and cast a talisman in the air. The demon was just shocked and angry when he felt a heavy spiritual pressure descending from the sky, and the area of hundreds of feet was sealed.
"You want to trap me with a mere sealing technique? It's a bit unrealistic!"
The Demon Wolf King was furious. After a low roar, the demon body rose several feet high and became a giant, breaking out of the seal.
Qing Zhi's eyes flashed with surprise. This seal was a strong secret technique of his. Even if a Yuanying cultivator of the same period wanted to break free, it would take at least an incense stick. This demon broke through the seal in a blink of an eye. It seems that although the latter has been trapped in Penglai Island for many years, his magical powers are very amazing.
However, he didn't care much at the moment. When the Demon Wolf King broke out of the seal, he had already had electricity under his feet, and pulled out a phantom like the wind, and grabbed the Tianji Lock in his hand with a palm.
"No matter how many twists and turns it takes, this Tianji lock will eventually return to my hands."
Qing Zhi was overjoyed after his success. He turned around without any pause, and at the same time, he pinched the magic formula and shot dozens of spiritual lights towards the sky. After a few "shuashuas", they merged into a magic circle, which was extremely magical.
But just after the magic circle was formed, the light did not last long, and then it silently dissipated in Qing Zhi's astonished eyes. The surrounding scene also changed at the same time. The originally clear sky suddenly became dark, and the demons danced wildly, like a scene of the Nine Nether Purgatory.
Qing Zhi's face changed slightly and he cried out that it was not good. He hurriedly looked down and saw that the Tianji lock in his hand gradually became illusory and soon disappeared.
"The Phantom Demon Illusion! What a Demon Wolf King, I was careless."
Qing Zhi's face sank.
After muttering softly, he shook his hand and offered another talisman, and the spell was recited quickly. The talisman instantly shone with spiritual light, and waves of blue clouds like shocking tides surged out from the agitation. After a few swirling flashes, the monsters in the place were swept away, and the void in front of him was like a broken mirror, breaking up bit by bit.
Qing Zhi aimed at a crack and chopped it with his sword without hesitation. After a crisp sound of "crackling", the surrounding scene returned to normal.
However, time was running out. Just as he was forced out of the illusion, he heard a series of low and sinister laughs. The wolf king's claws in the depths of the demon were like lightning and quickly probed the lock of the heavenly secrets, and grabbed it in his hand.
"Looking for death!"
Qing Zhi was extremely angry, and he made another move without retracting his sword. "Shua shua" several sword rains fell on the top of the demon's head. But the wolf king, who had obtained the treasure, had no intention of fighting with him. He laughed lowly and avoided the sword light and withdrew.
"Leave the Tianji Lock!"
Qing Zhi was extremely angry, and he spread his hands and swung another huge sword, but the Demon Wolf King had already fled far away. Even though his sword was powerful, he only managed to chop off a shadow of the opponent, and the body was not hurt at all.
"Hehe, this treasure is now in my hand. If you think you are capable enough, just come and get it." After several fights, the Demon Wolf King was also enraged, and said with demonic energy flashing wildly.
Qing Zhi's face was gloomy, and he stared at the Demon Wolf King with murderous eyes. The latter didn't care at all, and wanted to take the Tianji Lock openly.
But just when this demon was feeling proud, his eyes suddenly condensed, and the Tianji lock in his hand trembled as if it was out of control. Then, with a "puff", several dense golden rainbows shot out, dissipated extremely quickly in the void, and fell to various places on the island.
The Demon Wolf King's face flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly looked at the treasure, but saw that the golden glow on the surrounding locks had become dim in an instant, as if it had lost its spirituality.
The demon's pupils shrank slightly, and he repeatedly cast spells at the Tianji lock, but the treasure seemed to be dead and had no reaction at all.
"How could this be?"
The Demon Wolf King's face was ashen, and after several checks, the results were the same.
For some reason, the spirituality of this imitation of Tongtian Lingbao was scattered and became waste!
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this scene, Qing Zhi also opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
After his eyes flickered a few times, he took advantage of the moment when the Demon Wolf King was distracted and stretched out his hand, and the Tianji Lock that had lost its spirituality flew into his hand as if it had grown wings.
The Demon Wolf King frowned, but he did not stop him and let Qing Zhi take the Tianji Lock away for inspection.
At this moment, the Tianji Lock had lost its spirituality and was no different from scrap iron. This demon had nothing to regret.
Qing Zhi did not say much. After taking the Tianji Lock in his hand, he measured it up and down for a moment and found that this treasure had indeed undergone some kind of abnormality. He immediately probed into it with his spiritual consciousness to see if there was any room for remedy.
A trace of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the Demon Wolf King. When the spirituality of the Tianji Lock flew away for no reason, he immediately made a detection. If it was possible to remedy it, how could Qing Zhi take it away so easily?
However, the Demon Wolf King did not speak, but only looked at the other party indifferently, without any intention of intervening.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qing Zhi's spiritual consciousness withdrew, but his face became gloomy one after another.
"What on earth is going on? The Tianji Lock has lost all its spirituality. Isn't this a replica of the Tongtian Lingbao? Why did this happen?" Qing Zhi murmured in annoyance.
"It seems that we have fought for nothing. I wonder if Daoist Fellow Qing Zhi can see anything from this Tianji Lock?" The Demon Wolf King crossed his arms and was also depressed.
Qing Zhi shook his head and remained silent.
The Jindan cultivators who followed not far away were already stunned by this scene. They looked at each other in astonishment and could not say a word for a long time.
Such a sudden change was really weird. Even with their experience, they had never encountered it before. For a moment, they didn't know how to deal with it.
The midair, which was still fighting fiercely a moment ago, was now silent, and everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
Qing Zhi looked at the Tianji Lock over and over again, but still couldn't figure out why it became like this.
However, he seemed to have thought of something. After a long pause, he said thoughtfully, "Before this, the Tianji Lock had always been connected to the golden lotus on the altar. When the two coexisted, there was no loss of spiritual energy. But after being stripped off by that kid, it became like this. Is there any secret between the golden lotus and the Tianji Lock?"
"Golden Lotus?"
The Demon Wolf King's eyebrows moved, and after a certain thought turned around in his mind for a few times, he suddenly turned his head to look out of the altar, and then his eyes focused and shouted: "Where are you going, kid!"
Qing Zhi also looked hurriedly, and saw a place below where the void storm was slightly weaker, with gusts of wind, a green jade plate glittering in it, and a figure holding a comatose woman in his arms was about to escape.
Seeing this, Qing Zhi looked around the altar again, but there was no trace of the golden lotus, and his face immediately turned cold: "It seems that the golden lotus is still in the hands of that kid, we have to stop him!"
Without Qing Zhi saying much, the Demon Wolf King had already taken the lead and swooped down to the altar again. Qing Zhi also chased after him with a gloomy expression.
After they knew that the Golden Lotus and the Tianji Lock were closely related, how could they let Ye Chunyang leave so easily?
Ye Chunyang, who was activating the Mustard Seed Card to escape, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He could not help but shudder in his heart, hugged "Yu Wanqing" tightly, and quickly entered the spiritual light of the Mustard Seed Card.
This woman was involved in all kinds of disputes in order to help him find the Ganlong Jade, and finally ended up being controlled by someone. Ye Chunyang was not a heartless person. If he had a chance to get away, he would not let her die. So he was ready to take this woman away after sending away all the monks.
But he never expected that the change of the Tianji Lock would make Qing Zhi and the Demon Wolf King think of the Golden Lotus, and return at such a fast speed. If they knew the secret of the Golden Lotus, his fate would be bad!
