"Brother Chen, the ancient creatures inside are extremely ferocious. You must be careful and avoid being attacked."
Reluctantly, King Qingyuan was the first to step into the ancient hall. After uttering these insincere words to Xu Yang, he vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. Only a dozen living people remained in the hall, still struggling against the ancient creatures. King Qingyuan had no intention of interfering, and even if his followers were in danger, he would not choose to help. His target was too significant, and for some reason, those ancient creatures were overly interested in him.
"Brother Qing, there's no need to worry about me. Just lead the way!"
Xu Yang knew that King Qingyuan was saying the opposite of what he meant, so he didn't mind. He led his people back into the bronze ancient hall and secretly observed the several upper realm beings who had been possessed by the alien races. As he had expected, these individuals couldn't hide their overjoyed expressions after he led his people into the hall.
‘These alien races really want to escape this ancient hall at every moment!’
Hearing Xu Yang's words, King Qingyuan couldn't help but grip the bamboo stick in his hand tightly, wishing he could turn around and strike Chen Xu on the head. He continuously cursed in his heart:
‘It's not you who needs to be worried about. I'm in front, so I need to worry about myself first!’
"Brother Chen, don't worry. If you are in danger, I will save you!"
Xu Yang's voice seemed to carry a certain magic, capable of soothing people's hearts, calming their emotions, and making them feel indifferent.
King Qingyuan nodded gratefully. "Then thank you very much, Brother Chen!"
But after expressing his gratitude, he realized what he had just done and was shocked. What had he just done? How could he have actually thanked the other party? Was his brain short-circuiting?
If a critical moment really arrived, the other party would definitely not save him, and might even kick him when he's down. No, it was almost certain that he would kick him when he's down.
If Daoist Ping Tian saw this scene, he would definitely become even more respectful towards Xu Yang and would couldn't help but ask him about the mysteries of ancient techniques.
As Xu Yang delved deeper into the cultivation of this ancient technique, he could now make his words law, influencing upper realm beings like King Qingyuan without him noticing anything unusual, making him think it was his own problem.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Xu Yang smiled as he watched an ancient creature pounce towards King Qingyuan, while he leisurely stood by with a large group of people, watching.
"Brother Chen is truly benevolent!"
King Qingyuan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, then picked up the bamboo stick and struck the incoming ancient creature. In the void, it seemed as if rules were evolving, possessing terrifying power, easily tearing the ancient creature's skin and flesh. With another strike, the ancient creature's body was directly broken into two pieces.
Because he used most of his strength, it affected the injuries in King Qingyuan's body, causing his face to become somewhat unsightly. However, not wanting Xu Yang to see through his weakness, he forcibly endured it, pretending that nothing had happened.
Xu Yang naturally captured King Qingyuan's micro-expressions, knowing that the other party had not been forced to a dead end yet, so he would not completely tear face with him for the time being. His attention was not entirely focused on King Qingyuan, but rather on the ancient creatures that had been broken into two pieces. Their bodies seemed to be composed of various strange creatures, looking particularly bloated and rugged, yet filled with explosive power. Furthermore, after their bodies were broken, they didn't turn into dust, as if a strange power was maintaining their bodies from weathering away.
Suddenly, Xu Yang's pupils shrank. He captured a tiny black light flying out from the ancient creature's body, like a speck of dust, almost impossible to detect without careful observation.
He saw that the black light was flying towards his group, moving very carefully and slowly, as if simulating dust flying.
Xu Yang immediately judged that this should be the method used by those alien races for possession. Therefore, he acted without making a sound, directly eliminating the black light into nothingness, without emitting any fluctuations, as if it were dust, falling on the ground.
"?"
The alien races disguised as upper realm beings looked at their suddenly disappeared clansman with confusion, not knowing what had happened. They were originally waiting to help their clansman possess silently, and had even helped their clansman find an upper realm being with a special physique, great talent, good status, from the Fifth Heaven Domain, whose family forces could rank in the top five in the Fifth Heaven Domain.
‘What exactly happened?’
‘Where is he?’
‘I don't know!’
‘Could it be that he sensed danger and hid back.’
The alien races exchanged glances, because they didn't see Xu Yang take action at all, and didn't believe that Xu Yang could detect it.
After all, this method of possession was created by their ancestors, and it was of a very high grade, capable of deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea. The native creatures of this world could not possibly detect anything unusual, unless they came from the same world as them, or descended from a higher world, but that was impossible, basically very difficult to achieve, unless…
"Ah!"
Just then, a shrill scream echoed from the depths of the ancient hall. An upper realm being from the Fifth Heaven Domain had been fighting fiercely with the ancient creatures for a long time. Because he was besieged, he eventually died of exhaustion!
From Xu Yang's perspective, the upper realm being was disemboweled by the ancient creatures. His internal organs were divided and eaten by a group of ancient creatures, and his blood was drained, but his skin was intact, as if they were planning to keep these skins to do something.
‘Could it be that these ancient creatures, in addition to possession, can also be reborn by borrowing skins?’
Such a thought emerged in Xu Yang's mind. Immediately, he turned his gaze to other places and found that the dead upper realm beings on the ground had all been hollowed out, leaving only intact skins. Immediately, he confirmed that his idea was correct.
Therefore, he secretly transmitted his voice to Ji Daoxuan, telling him to do something to those skins next, but try not to let those ancient creatures notice.
Ji Daoxuan naturally understood immediately. He had experienced being possessed by alien races. If he hadn't cut off his cultivation, the one standing here now might not have been Ji Daoxuan, but an alien race wearing Ji Daoxuan's skin.
Just after being instructed by Xu Yang, Ji Daoxuan took action. He acted as if he hadn't noticed the skin not far away and stepped on it directly, smashing the skin to pieces.
This scene was seen by several alien races hiding in the crowd. A trace of anger flashed in their eyes, and they took a deep look at Ji Daoxuan, obviously hating Ji Daoxuan.
King Qingyuan didn't notice anything unusual at all. His gaze was always on the dead upper realm being, because this upper realm being was his ally. The two had a good private relationship and had sparred several times. Although he lost to him every time, the other party's strength was not weak, but he died at the hands of the ancient creatures. This made him feel a sense of rabbit dying, fox grieving. The ancient creatures in this ancient hall were too ferocious. Although there were many treasures, one had to have the life to take them!
King Qingyuan turned to look at Xu Yang, wanting to discuss with him whether to retreat first. This ancient hall was really not suitable for continued exploration. But as soon as his eyes met Xu Yang's, he heard Xu Yang say:
"Don't worry, I will save you!"
A sense of emotion inexplicably arose in King Qingyuan's heart, and he actually swallowed the words he wanted to say.
After a while, he suddenly realized that he might really be out of his mind. How could he believe that the other party would save him?
Only a fool would believe such hypocritical words!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sounds of fighting in the ancient hall continued. As the upper realm beings continued to die, more and more ancient creatures freed up their hands, and a dark mass of them pounced towards Xu Yang and the others.
Because King Qingyuan was standing at the front, he was under immense pressure. Several ancient creatures attacked him together. Even though he had a divine object like the bamboo stick in his hand, he was still struggling to cope. He finally killed an ancient creature, but another ancient creature continued to attack him. The posture was as if they would never give up until they killed him!
King Qingyuan also went crazy, risking deepening his injuries, and frantically chopped at the ancient creatures in front of him. Invisible blades of order cut through the void, strangling all the approaching ancient creatures.
Because King Qingyuan was desperately fighting in front, Xu Yang's side seemed a bit peaceful. He only needed to deliver the final blow. Every time King Qingyuan killed an ancient creature, he would secretly do something to annihilate those black lights, and incidentally crush a few skins.
‘King Qingyuan is really a qualified workhorse!’
Xu Yang didn't even want to let him take the blame. Such a perfect workhorse should be placed in a more important position to be worthy of his efforts.
Of course, Xu Yang was just joking about this. How could he not know that King Qingyuan was fighting so hard because his own life was threatened? It was either he died, or the ancient creatures died. He wasn't trying to work for him.
Taking advantage of King Qingyuan's gap in dealing with the ancient creatures, Xu Yang seized the opportunity to collect the treasures in the hall, as well as the Qiankun bags on the dead upper realm beings. In a short while, he gained a lot. All kinds of treasures were stuffed into the system space by him.
Following the example of those above, Ji Daoxuan was originally concentrating on dealing with the ancient creatures, but when he saw Xu Yang's behavior, he also began to follow suit. After repelling the ancient creatures, he began to search the ancient hall, mainly focusing on not leaving empty-handed.
As for the rest of the people, except for a few alien races, they were also the same. Anyway, they had come all this way. If they didn't find some treasures, they would have come in vain.
This led to a very extreme result, that is, all the pressure came to King Qingyuan. After seeing their companions being killed, those ancient creatures attacked King Qingyuan even more frantically. Even the ancient creatures that were originally besieging others gave up their original opponents and attacked King Qingyuan together.
In their opinion, among these people, King Qingyuan's threat was the greatest. As long as King Qingyuan was removed, the others would become their skins.
King Qingyuan was originally fighting desperately, but when he saw that everyone else was searching for treasures except him, he was so angry that he wanted to quit and escape directly. But he couldn't escape, because these ancient creatures' brains were also kicked by donkeys. They actually gave up on others and besieged him together, surrounding him so tightly that they didn't leave him any room to escape.
‘No, can't you tell who poses the greatest threat to you?’
King Qingyuan really wanted to question these ancient creatures. Obviously, that Chen Xu was more powerful than himself, but no ancient creatures went to deal with him, letting him search in the hall. Was this really right?
King Qingyuan even suspected whether this Chen Xu was the so-called son of the Celestial Immortal, or the son of luck. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why the other party mastered that mysterious ancient technique and was not attacked by the ancient creatures.
As more and more ancient creatures joined the battlefield, King Qingyuan directly killed red-eyed, regardless of the injuries in his body, and directly exploded his potential. Various energies vented, divine radiance exploded, and the entire space was shaking. He raised the bamboo stick and swept across a large area. The terrifying light of order actually repelled all the ancient creatures. Then, he did not hesitate, turned around and fled towards the outside of the hall.
King Qingyuan was not stupid. He knew that Xu Yang was trying to kill him here, how could he sit still and wait for death? So he put on a desperate posture, his eyes were red, filled with bloodshot, and he roared ferociously:
"Those who block me die!"
"Boom!"
Xu Yang, who was originally picking up treasures, saw that the workhorse actually wanted to run, and immediately flashed to block in front of King Qingyuan, slightly raised his hand, and endless Dao rhyme emerged from his hand, like an ancient array diagram, strange array patterns were outlining, almost in an instant, it took shape, flashing with a vast luster, like chaos!
A flash of ferocity flashed in King Qingyuan's eyes. Since this Chen Xu wanted to die, he would let him die completely.
He raised the bamboo stick in his hand, and the stick body glowed, it was the Dao patterns carved on it that were playing a role, thousands of strands of destructive purple light burst out, like the heavens and stars shining together, to kill Xu Yang!
However, before the attack was launched, King Qingyuan's figure disappeared from the spot. In an instant, his figure reappeared in the encirclement of the group of ancient creatures.
At this moment, both King Qingyuan and the ancient creatures were stunned.
King Qingyuan was thinking of killing Xu Yang, while the ancient creatures were thinking of chasing King Qingyuan. Neither of them thought that they would go back to the original point.
"Roar!"
The ancient creatures felt that they had been played hard, and let out a shocking roar. Terrible power surged from their bodies, like several ancient magic mountains, suppressing King Qingyuan.
"Chen Xu!"
King Qingyuan was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He picked up the bamboo stick and smashed it at the ancient creatures in front of him, as if he regarded these ancient creatures as Chen Xu. The destructive purple light that burst out hit the ancient creatures, like the whip of the Immortal Emperor, making a series of crackling noises. The various sparks produced by the collision burned everywhere in the hall, destroying many rare treasures.
Xu Yang smiled and said, "Brother Qing, hold on, don't worry, as long as we can walk out of this ancient hall alive, I will definitely give you a share of the treasures I collected!"
The gentle voice sounded, falling into King Qingyuan's ears, making his originally very irritable emotions slightly calm down.
