Chapter 1242 Qiong Wu and Old Man Gu Teng
Liu Bai was already protecting Yuhuangtian. Although they were not very close to Qiongwu's location, as the power of thunder grew stronger, the lightning that spread rapidly like a spider web had already firmly controlled the sky above the entire Shushan area!
Immediately afterwards——!
Thousands of lightning bolts fall indiscriminately!
Like a sea of thunder, it bombarded Qin Fan and other uninvited guests with precision!
At this moment, Liu Bai's expression was extremely solemn, and the threat level of this attack in his heart was rising sharply. But at the moment when he concentrated his whole body on the sword, the sudden sound of thunder was abruptly stopped by a hint of paleness!
At some point, glittering snowflakes appeared between the thunders that were about to strike, clinging to the lightning and freezing it completely at an even faster speed, until the dazzling purple that originally filled the sky had turned into an endless white sea!
Click!
A crisp sound suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, and ice particles flashing with tiny points of light filled every corner of Shushan at that moment.
The Thunderbolt Tribulation of Qiongwu, which could have caused considerable damage to everyone, has been quietly wiped out!
At the same time, in the sky above the main hall, the violent power of thunder once again began to confront and contend with the rapidly freezing blizzard. In addition to the collapse of all the buildings, the remaining force of the confrontation between the two only caused the accidental killing of several larger monsters.
"call"
Liu Bai let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat that had seeped out of his forehead at some point in time. Just now, when he was preparing to concentrate all his attention on resisting this thunderbolt, his pressure increased exponentially because he also had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Jade Emperor Heaven.
What made him somewhat lack confidence was that he did not think he could fully protect Jade Emperor Heaven in the next operation.
However, he did not have much confidence that he could defeat Qiong Wu.
Among all the current Tianyan realm masters, he is probably the only one who has the confidence to compete with Long Ming. As for the others, the gap is still too big, although he still has a one-foot sword hidden as a trump card.
"Sorry for being a burden to you." Yuhuangtian's voice sounded beside his ear.
This also made Liu Bai explain again and again that everything was because he was too weak.
Although Yuhuangtian was much weaker than him, he always respected him, whether it was appointing him as one of the Five Elders early on and providing him with many cultivation resources, or causing him great trouble after his mission failed during his trip to Southern Xinjiang.
The other party had spared no effort to clear all the troubles for him, and he also admired Yu Huangtian's persistence in seeking immortality.
He really didn't feel like he was being dragged down by the other party at all.
All he felt was the reluctance to not be as good as Xue Wuxia and the others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been under so much pressure that his legs were still trembling just by facing an attack from Qiong Wu that hadn't been fully unleashed.
"Let's go, there's a big guy waiting for us in the planting area."
Qin Fan was not too surprised at Qiong Wu's strength. To be honest, his combat power was not at its peak yet. After all, both the God Clan and the Dragon Clan had already given him an extremely high growth limit, so he couldn't be too bad.
In addition, in the original work, it challenged the fifth generation protagonist team + the fifth generation former protagonist team alone throughout the whole process. The so-called battle victory settlement was similar to the nature of active surrender or sparring in the plot killing, which could not reflect its full combat power at all.
In the present Shushan ruins where demons and monsters are rampant, it is probably the strongest being except for the Immortal Realm.
What puzzled Qin Fan was that most of the monsters and demons he saw along the way were abandoned pawns or pioneers exploring the Mountain and Sea Realm. Kong Lin had previously introduced that most of them came from the Far East Demon Realm.
To put it bluntly, it is using one's own people to fight against one's own people.
It's a waste for someone like Qiongwu to be sent here to carry out exploratory missions despite his great potential and strength.
In other words, the other party may also be a high-level cannon fodder that has been abandoned. After all, in the original work, it follows the way of heaven and performs its duties conscientiously.
However, as a dragon from heaven, he never looked down upon the creatures of the mortal world. When he saw creatures in trouble, although he knew that fate could not be violated, he still showed sympathy and gave them grace. After being discovered by the heavens, Qiongwu also chose to face it calmly, without fear, and with the determination to abandon everything.
After awakening the memory of its destiny body, will it still devote itself to being the Rain Dragon?
Qin Fan stopped and looked towards the main hall again. The overflowing power of thunder and the surging white snow sea had replaced the diffuse evil fog, burying all the scenes in that direction in this fierce battlefield environment.
If it is confirmed that there are doubts about Qiong Wu's position, there is a possibility that the other party will win it over.
Or maybe it itself was threatened, so it had to come and snipe them. That would also mean that the dragon would have a better chance of winning them over and infiltrating Fuxi Heavenly Palace.
Then a beam of golden flame appeared in Qin Fan's eyes. When he looked towards the main hall again, a golden lotus quietly bloomed in the depths of his eyes and flew towards the fierce battlefield.
"Brother Qin, have you discovered any important information?"
Qin Fan glanced at Yu Huangtian and did not answer the question directly, but said.
"Let's go, it can't wait any longer."
Qin Fan turned around and continued walking towards the planting area, but his footprints seemed to be covered with a layer of faint black and red flames. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps... It was as if lotus flowers were blooming with each step, and bunches of black and red lotus flowers had quietly bloomed.
Due to his limited strength, Yuhuangtian could not quite understand what Qin Fan was doing, so he could only cast a puzzled look at Liu Bai.
While Liu Bai was protecting Yu Huangtian and following Qin Fan closely, he was also observing the flames on his footprints. Then he frowned and spoke to Yu Huangtian.
"Master, there is something wrong underground."
"underground?"
Yuhuangtian used the power of his soul to look through the ground and saw thick vines spreading across the entire Shushan area. The route they were taking happened to be stepping on a vine, but this vine had been mostly swallowed up by Qin Fan with a scorching black and red flame!
And its root source is also the destination they are about to head to!
"Be careful!" Liu Bai grabbed Yuhuangtian's arm and stood in the air several meters high despite the suppression of the forbidden air formation. The place where he had just stood was like a rolling earth dragon, and countless thin vines emerged to form a huge net that wanted to wrap him tightly!
Fortunately, Liu Bai and Yu Huangtian managed to dodge successfully, but even so, more vines emerged from the ground, twisted into the shape of long spears, and shot towards them rapidly!
Of course, Qin Fan was also attacked.
But just as the vine emerged, it broke off from the root, and under Qin Fan's Forgetful Fifteenth Style, Mu Wan's control, it turned into a shield to resist the second wave of wooden spear attacks!
After the attack of the wooden spear failed, Qin Fan used it again. A huge wooden giant was formed under him. He accelerated towards the planting area step by step. Facing the attacks of vines coming from all directions, he directly blocked them with a tougher wooden shield.
"Oh, that was a close call~" Yuhuangtian and Liu Bai found an opportunity and landed successfully on the head of the wooden giant. The former let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Qin Fan, who had a calm expression throughout the whole process.
"This enemy is not weak."
"Not as strong as Qiong Wu, but it is also an eighth-level monster."
“It’s a fairy!”
The deafening sound mixed with the rising dust in front of them rushed towards Qin Fan and the other two.
Qin Fan did not try to stop him, but poked Xiao Wan, who had been sleeping on his shoulder all the way. Before setting off, the other party successfully broke through to the middle level of the Universe Rank on the top of the tower, so he had been in a sleeping state while digesting the energy in his body.
By now, most of it should have been absorbed.
Then, Xiao Wan was seen rushing towards the sandstorm in front of him in the shape of a ball. But when the smoke and dust dissipated in an instant, Yuhuangtian and Liu Bai saw a black fire dragon whose body shape was no less than that of Qiongwu, tightly entwining a thick old tree with countless vines climbing on it!
"Is there such a tree in Shushan?" Yuhuangtian frowned slightly. He had been listening carefully to Situ Zhong and Kong Lin's introductions about the Far East Demon Realm and Shushan along the way.
This fellow, who exudes abundant demonic power and just proudly declared himself an immortal, was definitely not raised in Mount Shu. And in the Far East Demon Realm, there does not seem to be any big demon of this form.
"It's the destined body again, Old Man Gu Teng." Qin Fan looked ahead in a trance.
Because the other party's situation seems somewhat similar to Qiong Wu's.
He is from the third generation of The Legend of Sword and Fairy. In the original work, he is a rare immortal. His rarity lies in the fact that he was cultivated by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon from a rare ancient vine.
The old man of the ancient vine lives in Fengqingtai in the ancient vine forest. Because the roots of the vines are deeply rooted in the ground, he cannot move and rarely comes into contact with humans, so he has an extreme personality. Once someone approaches, he will chatter non-stop and refuse to let people leave, but he will not really hurt humans.
After meeting Jingtian and others, he asked them to guess their favorite treasure and let them lose so that they would accompany him. In the end, it was Tang Xuejian's turn but she couldn't guess her favorite treasure and lost. As agreed, he opened the passage and let them enter the deepest part of the ancient vine forest.
Although the situation of the destined body and its original owner could not be completely replicated, the crazy desire to kill displayed by the old man Gu Teng at this moment still made Qin Fan feel a little uncomfortable.
Even though the black fire dragon that Xiao Wan transformed into had tied it up tightly, and the gravity collapse caused by the black fire coming out of it made it even more difficult for the old man Gu Teng to struggle, it still did not forget to continue attacking Qin Fan and others with its vines.
"You should be able to hear what I say."
"."
"Monster?"
"It's a fairy! Fairy! Fairy!!!"
"You are indeed only an eighth-rank demon beast now. I don't sense the immortal spirit from you, similar to the four immortal beasts that isolated Dongxuanzhou Prefecture before. Instead, I feel the brutality of a demon beast, which you are showing now."
"Immortal! Immortal! Immortal!!!"
"It seems that we can't communicate."
Qin Fan sighed lightly, and the wooden giant under him suddenly punched the ground hard. Then black and red flames splashed out from the crack in the ground!
At this moment, a large amount of red lotus fire appeared in Qin Fan's eyes, which condensed into a second black fire dragon. With just one sweep, it destroyed all the growing vines around it.
"Do we really want to kill it?" Yu Huangtian, who had been watching Qin Fan display his supernatural powers throughout, suddenly asked.
He had also discovered that there was something wrong with this old man Gu Teng.
He really didn't know much about the destiny body of the Fairy Sword series. After all, in the Great Xuan Dynasty today, most of them were still based on the Snow Series. But even so, by listening to the conversations of everyone along the way, he was able to analyze some key issues.
For example, the monsters that intercepted them along the way were not considered the real subordinates of Fuxi Heavenly Palace.
The same is probably true for Qiong Wu, and the same should be true for old man Gu Teng.
Then, as a cannon fodder for testing and a chess piece with strong strength, the other party has a certain value to be won over. According to his speculation, it should not really obey the dispatch of Fuxi Heavenly Palace.
"He must be killed." It was Liu Bai who answered, which made Yu Huangtian look at him in confusion.
"Master, the roots and vines of this old man have covered the entire Shu Mountain. At the same time, it is also firmly grasping the veins of the ground here to absorb nutrients. It is not easy for this monster to move it to another place, and the result of leaving it here may destroy the entire Dongxuan Prefecture.
This may also be part of the other party's calculation.
Although it is not awake now, there may be a way to wake it up later, but in the meantime, with its power as a single demon, it can bring disaster to Dongxuan Prefecture, and even more than this prefecture. With the infinite growth characteristics of its vines, it will affect the neighboring prefectures. "
"Xian!!! It's Xian!!!"
Before Yu Huangtian could digest this information, Old Man Gu Teng roared at him, or more precisely, at Liu Bai beside him.
At this moment, the demonic energy around Qin Fan surged. As he blasted out with both palms, the demonic energy surging like a tide had already engulfed the old man with the ancient vine who was still tightly tied up by Xiao Wan.
Then Xiao Wan transformed into a spirit, held a green fruit high and jumped onto Qin Fan's shoulder.
【Devil Fruit】
[Rank: Mid-level Universe]
[Description: After being extracted and absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, a fruit containing pure mental power and a large amount of rule power is condensed. After swallowing it, your Dharma image will be slightly improved by 0.1%~0.4%.
This fruit can slightly increase your apprehension and allow you to successfully comprehend the bloodline technique of the old man Gu Teng: Earth-shattering strangulation. 】
Qin Fan took a glance and threw the fruit into the space ring.
He was not interested in the art of bloodline, or in other words, after mastering the Fifteen Secrets of Forgetting Love, he could perfectly replicate the secret arts related to the Five Elements by controlling the rules of the Five Elements, and the lethality would be much stronger.
As for the strange situation of the old man Gu Teng, after confirming that he could not communicate with him, he had given up trying to understand it in depth.
There are more than one eighth-level monsters here, so there must be one with which to communicate. If no useful information can be obtained from them, then killing them all may be the most appropriate solution.
Ever since the outbreak of this evil, their side had been in a state where they could only passively respond. This made Qin Fan, who was used to taking the initiative, very uncomfortable.
So we need to make a quick decision next.
"You stay here and look for any clues left. The reason why they chose to place this old vine in the planting area is definitely not because this place is suitable for plants to take root."
After saying this, Qin Fan headed towards the Demon Locking Tower.
