A round of attacks caused some damage to the black armored centipede, and the aura on its body decreased a bit. Then the cyan sword light came crashing down, all striking the centipede's body.
For a time, the monster was hissing and screaming, but at the same time, the centipede was about to break free from the suppression of the Chongyuan Xuanguang(重元玄光: Chongyuan Mysterious Light).
Zhang Ling, however, expressionlessly urged the two ancient treasures. In his purple-black pupils, with a clang, a bell rang out, directly causing the centipede to stiffen for a moment.
Finally, a flash of green light, and the green crystal directly pierced through the centipede's head, opening a large hole in it. The black armored centipede twitched violently a few times, and the black gas on its body dissipated as it lost its vitality, falling directly towards the ground.
Zhang Ling waved his hand, intending to collect the centipede's corpse, but suddenly sensed something and quickly moved two zhang(丈: a unit of length, approx. meters) to the side. However, he still sensed a scorching firelight attacking from behind.
A huge flame centipede behind him had arrived two zhang(丈: a unit of length, approx. meters) away at some point, turning into a flame whirlwind and colliding towards him.
With a loud bang, he was knocked back a distance.
Before he could stabilize himself, a flash of fire appeared again, and the flame centipede chased after him, spewing out a flame beam as thick as a zhang(丈: a unit of length, approx. meters), impacting his body.
This was the scarlet centipede among the three centipedes, unexpectedly launching a sudden sneak attack.
Fortunately, the Yellow Luo Umbrella was constantly rotating above his head. The yellow light screen formed by this treasure protected his whole body. The flames hit it, only causing the layer of yellow light to tremble slightly.
Zhang Ling felt slightly relieved, secretly sighing that it was indeed the right choice to refine this Yellow Luo Umbrella.
If he had used the previous defensive methods, although he could have blocked this attack, it would not have been so easy. He might have even suffered some minor injuries.
While he was being attacked, because of the Yellow Luo Umbrella's defense, he was not too worried. Instead, he directly commanded the three flying swords and the large mass of yellow sand to sweep towards the flame centipede.
The centipede didn't have time to react and was instantly submerged by these attacks.
Zhang Ling gathered the spiritual power throughout his body to stabilize himself. With a flick of his finger, he released more than a dozen light spheres transformed from Chongyuan Xuanguang(重元玄光: Chongyuan Mysterious Light), instantly blocking the flame centipede's path.
Then, as the bell rang again, a green light directly penetrated this centipede's head, solving this desolate beast.
Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax much. He scanned with his divine sense towards the other centipede. He didn't forget that there was another emerald green centipede with seventh-order strength.
Then he discovered that the emerald green centipede was a hundred zhang(丈: a unit of length, approx. meters) away, spraying out a large mass of emerald blue poisonous mist, fighting against Zhou Tai and the other person.
He stepped on the sky with one foot and flew towards that side. At the same time, the three flying swords and a large mass of Tianxing Sand(天星沙: Heavenly Star Sand) were all commanded to attack towards that side.
Zhang Ling planned to quickly resolve the last centipede in one go.
But before he reached the battle group, he heard Zhou Tai's angry roar. "Junior Sister, ah, you beast, die."
Then, a powerful ice-cold force erupted there. A gust of cold wind swept through the area. Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes and found that the emerald green centipede was instantly sealed inside a huge blue ice block.
A black light blade struck the ice block all at once, and the giant ice turned into shattered ice and fell all over the ground.
The emerald green centipede naturally shattered along with the ice, turning into countless fragments, dead beyond dead.
Zhang Ling was also quite surprised in his heart. The power of the ice-cold force just now was not small. It could actually seal a seventh-order desolate beast all at once.
He couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhou Tai. This person now had a dejected look on his face. The aura on his body was very chaotic, his left leg was missing a large half, and half of his thigh was emitting green smoke. His image was very bad.
Zhou Tai coughed a few times, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood. His body was unstable, and he fell onto a stone on the water.
At this moment, the female cultivator surnamed Li was nowhere to be seen. There was no need to think about it to know that this woman was probably already dead.
Zhang Ling released his divine sense to investigate the surroundings. There were no traces of other cultivators or desolate beasts within ten miles.
At the same time, he also found some tattered clothes and a few pieces of magical treasure fragments floating on the water not far away, probably belonging to that Sun Dahan. This person was probably also dead.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It had only been half a day since he entered this place, and he had already seen two fellow cultivators die. He couldn't help but have a feeling of rabbit dead, fox grieves(兔死狐悲: a Chinese idiom which means to feel sorrow for others' misfortune).
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Tai's aura stabilized somewhat. Although the severed calf had not recovered, it did not have a great impact on the actions of high-level cultivators.
This kind of injury is also considered a small injury for high-level cultivators, which has a certain impact on their strength. The main thing is that a lot of Qi and blood(气血: Qi and blood, vital energy and blood) has been lost.
However, as long as you are willing to spend spirit stones to purchase some rare healing holy medicines, you can recover after a period of time.
Now Zhou Tai looked sadly at the few pieces of broken ice beside him. These pieces of ice pieced together half of a human body. It was this man's Li Junior Sister.
Zhang Ling silently sat cross-legged on the stone next to him, not disturbing him. But he heard Zhou Tai's low muttering in his ears.
"Junior Sister, our Huangyun Sect has two Tianyuan Tokens. We finally managed to win this opportunity to enter this place together to explore for treasures. I didn't expect that as soon as we came in, not only was I seriously injured, but my Junior Sister also fall/die."
After talking to himself for a while, Zhou Tai seemed to calm down. He waved his hand and took out a jade box to collect the mutilated body of the woman surnamed Li, turned to look at Zhang Ling and smiled bitterly.
"Zhou came here this time to choose some opportunities, but I didn't expect that not only was I seriously injured as soon as I came in, but my own Junior Sister also fell. I plan to leave here." Saying this, a look of shame appeared on his face.
Zhang Ling just nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, please mourn. Our cultivation is full of many hardships. The world is impermanent and the road ahead is dangerous and unpredictable. Fellow Daoist's choice is also reasonable. How to choose depends on your original intention."
Zhou Tai smiled and arched his hand at him, then threw out the two stone boxes he had taken from the stone tower.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have already copied a copy of the two jade slips, as for that token, I can't see what it does either. You can take it."
Zhang Ling did not decline, nodded and put the stone box into his sleeve.
He sat next to him without leaving for these two stone boxes. Of course, he could also kill him on the spot while this man was weak.
He had thought about this idea, but it was abandoned after only a thought. Zhang Ling asked himself that although he was not a good person, he was not a murderous person either. He had no grievances or enmities with this person, so he would naturally not take the act of killing.
Of course, if this person was not sensible, and did not hand over these two stone boxes, then that would be another matter.
Then Zhou Tai raised his hand again, and a white jade slip appeared in his hand and was thrown over.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this jade slip contains some information about my understanding of this place, and it is also given to you."
"Then thank you Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Zhang Ling was very surprised by this person's actions, did not decline, and also smiled and put it away.
