Chapter 713: Correct Usage of the Hammer
"嗤嗤嗤" A soft sound came from the broken body of the Balrog, and immediately after that, from the wounds on the Balrog's body, pillars of fire surged out like a volcanic eruption. And with the explosion of those flames, the wounds on Balrog's body also healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It looked like Peng Gong after his transformation.
On Ye Zan's side, when flames erupted from Balrog's body, he felt as if he had been hit by a brick head-on, and his head suddenly became dizzy. Fortunately, in his sea of consciousness, just as the boundless sea of consciousness started to stir slightly, the Jade Lotus Platform only shook slightly, and calmed down the shock of the sea of consciousness.
Ye Zan just made a move against the Balrog, and it was because of his true knowledge that he temporarily nullified the power of fire on the other side.
Although the opponent resembles the Balrog in Western fantasy works, it seems to have the same origin as Cheng Pan's Western Dragon. However, since the other party is attached to the eyes of the fire formation, the power on his body is naturally still the power of the fire, not the power that does not belong to this world like Cheng Pan.
However, this is the most powerful place on the Huoxing Avenue after all, and it is impossible for Ye Zan's true knowledge to completely suppress it. As a result, the power of the fire-moving avenue quickly broke through Ye Zan's suppression, and this also caused a certain backlash against Ye Zan.
Fortunately, Ye Zan had the Biye Liantai to suppress the Sea of Consciousness, so the backlash did not cause serious damage.
Seeing the Balrog, in the continuous spewing flames, the injuries on his body were recovering quickly. The people on Ye Zan's side naturally knew that they couldn't just let the other party go, and immediately continued to attack the other party with all their strength. The magic of Yuanshen Mechanical Warrior, Qi Qianjun's seven-handled flying swords, continuously bombarded the still body of the Balrog, causing the gushing flames to shake and twist uncontrollably.
In the midst of the violent storm, a petite figure appeared behind the Balrog, it was the little loli Ye Linglong who had taken off her mecha. Facing Balrog's body that was hundreds of feet tall, little Lolita's height of just over one meter was almost like a little ant standing at a person's feet.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zanke became a little anxious.
Ye Zan brought little loli with him this trip, not because he wanted her to be a combat force, but to live in such a world, some things still have to be experienced. You can't just build a greenhouse for your daughter in case your daughter is in danger, and let her live in this greenhouse forever. Such doting is not a good thing.
Of course, bringing little Lolita with him is also because Ye Zan has confidence in his daughter's strength, and at the same time he has confidence in his own strength. In his opinion, no matter what kind of dangers this trip might encounter, with his strength, he could still protect his daughter from harm.
It's just that confidence is confidence, and people who drink and drive have confidence in themselves, but it doesn't mean that nothing will happen. Ye Zan is confident, but it is impossible to predict everything, there will always be some situations,
It may have exceeded his own expectations.
Just like now, little Lolita actually took off her mecha, and then moved close to Balrog's feet, as if the other party would step on her if he moved his foot casually. Although, with the strength of the little Lolita's physical body, she would not be trampled by the Balrog, but as the father, Ye Zan still couldn't help feeling nervous.
However, at this time, it is impossible for Ye Zan to call little Lolita back, otherwise it will remind the Balrog. You know, even though the Balrog can't even speak a human language, he actually has intelligence. Can it understand Ye Zan's words, can it hear a little ant standing at its feet from Ye Zan's words? Ye Zan did not dare to gamble on this possibility.
"Attack with all your strength!" Ye Zan didn't know what little loli was going to do in the past, so he could only order everyone to attack the Balrog with all their strength, hoping to attract the Balrog's attention.
At the same time, of course, Ye Zan himself was not idle, he suddenly grabbed out of thin air in his hand, Ruyi Baichang shot out from his palm, and instantly condensed into a long sword that radiated with brilliance. Immediately afterwards, Ye Zan held the long sword in his hand and swung it towards the Balrog. Sword lights appeared in the air, and they continued to cut towards the Balrog.
Although he said "attack with all his strength", Ye Zan himself did not really use his full strength. It's not that he doesn't care about little Lolita, but quite the opposite. He was worried that he blasted too hard, causing the Balrog's body to move.
At this time, let's talk about the little loli who ran to the Balrog. She didn't know that her actions had startled her father, and she still approached Balrog's feet on her own. Then, the small hammer appeared in her hand, just like the small hammer used to play whack-a-mole, and then it hit the Balrog's foot with a "bang".
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Little Lolita didn't make the hammer bigger, nor did she swing the hammer with all her strength to smash it. Naturally, this strength couldn't cause any harm to the Balrog. Possibly, to the Balrog, the small hammer swung by the little lolita is probably worse than a mosquito bite, so naturally, he will not pay attention at all.
However, as the small hammer in Little Lolita's hand hit it again, and with the final "bang" sound, a crack appeared where the small hammer hit. Immediately afterwards, a series of cracks spread rapidly from the place where the Balrog's foot was hit to the whole body, and cracked crackling sounds along the way.
Seeing the changes in Balrog, Ye Zan, who has been paying attention to little loli, naturally knows who caused the changes in Balrog. At the same time, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Maybe this is the really correct way to use that hammer!
That magical little hammer possesses the power of the broken way, and it can almost be said to be able to smash all tangible and intangible things in the world. Of course, the power of the small hammer is also limited, one is limited by the strength of the user, and the other is that it can only be effective after seven consecutive strikes like a ritual. Before the seven-hit ritual is completed, the power of the small hammer only depends on how much strength you use and the weight of the hammer itself.
When she first fought with Balrog, the little loli enlarged the small hammer and directly hit Balrog hard on the head. But, who would stand there foolishly and suffer repeated blows like yours? And Balrog is also not a fool. As a result, it was very difficult for little Lolita to complete the seven-strike ritual in that way under that circumstance.
In fact, the hammer's way of breaking works has nothing to do with how much force you use. As long as you actually hit the target and complete the seven-hit ritual, the Shattered Path will be activated. Therefore, if the purpose is to stimulate the Dao of Brokenness, then it doesn't matter how much power each blow uses and how much damage it causes to the opponent.
Just like now, little Lolita hid at the feet of the Balrog, and the little hammer hit lightly like a nail. Although this did not cause any harm to the opponent, it met the requirements of the ceremony, and the seven-strike ritual was completed without attracting the opponent's attention. In the end, although Little Lolita's strength is not strong, the Balrog's strength has also been weakened to the extreme, making the broken way meet the last condition for it to work.
The shattered cracks covered Balrog's body in a blink of an eye, and even the flames that emerged from Balrog's body seemed to have many faintly visible lines. Finally, a spark made a "pop" sound, and shattered into countless sparks along the faint lines, and this also became the beginning of the collapse of the Balrog's body.
Groups of flames turned into splashing sparks, like a gorgeous fireworks show. And the body of the Balrog, also wrapped in the gorgeous fireworks, collapsed to the ground like a skyscraper that had been demolished by blasting.
With a movement of Ye Zan's figure, he flew to the "body" of the Balrog in an instant, and waved away the smoke and dust.
"Daddy, Linglong is very powerful, I smashed such a big guy." Seeing her father coming, the little Lolita immediately ran to meet her, showing off very proudly.
Although Ye Zan was a little worried before, but now that little Lolita is so happy, of course he will not spoil the scenery by preaching. He picked up little Lolita, kissed that little cheek, and said, "Yes, my Linglong is the most powerful!"
"Hee hee, actually there isn't any, the little hammer is the best." Hearing Ye Zan's praise, little Lolita felt embarrassed and said, waving the little hammer in her hand.
"Really, the little hammer is also powerful, but Linglong is the most powerful." Ye Zan pampered the little girl's head, but then said: "However, Linglong must remember that if she thinks about it in the future, she must first Tell daddy, you know?"
Little Lolita may not quite understand the worry in Ye Zan's words, but she still nodded vigorously and said, "Oh, Linglong remembers."
After getting the assurance from Little Lolita, Ye Zan carried her to the other side, and stretched out his hand to grab the "body" of the Balrog. Immediately, a crimson bead broke through the ground from the "corpse" and flew into his palm.
This bead is the real eye of the fire formation. Although it exists in the body of the Balrog, it is not affected by the broken way because it is not one with the Balrog. This bead should be called the Fire Spirit Bead, and it is one of the Five Elements Spirit Beads. It contains the pure essence of the Fire Element, and it is also a very powerful magic weapon.
"Okay, I'm going to refine this fire spirit bead, you take Linglong to the side to wait." Ye Zan put the little loli on the ground, turned and said to Qi Qianjun who was following.
"Student obeys!" Qi Qianjun quickly responded, took little Lolita's little hand, walked to the side and stood still.
Ye Zan didn't choose a place, just sat down cross-legged on the spot, pinched a formula in his hand, and the fire spirit beads flew from his hand. At this time, in his sea of consciousness, the eyes of true knowledge of the primordial spirit had also been opened, and an invisible light passed through the void of the sea of consciousness, and shone on the fire spirit bead hanging in mid-air.
This refining fire spirit orb is not as simple as refining a magic weapon. Although this thing can be considered a powerful magic weapon, it is also the core of the formation. If Ye Zan only used the method of refining the magic weapon, then in the end he would get such a magic weapon, not the control over the formation.
Therefore, when refining the Fire Spirit Bead, Ye Zan must use his eyes of true knowledge to understand the mystery of the formation in the Fire Spirit Bead, and refine it into a formation eye under his control.
At this time, everyone in charge of the other four formations had also received the news of Ye Zan's success. They immediately gave up the suppression of the formation, and flew back towards Ye Zan on their flying skateboards.
The four formation eyes are actually just the core formation eyes of the other four inner formations, formed by alluding to the power in this fire formation. However, under the influence of the power of the Great Way of Fire, it took on various forms, for example: the power of fire and wood formed the plane tree, the power of fire and gold formed the giant sword, and so on.
That is to say, even if the people in charge of the formation eyes completely smashed those formation eyes like Ye Zan did, they would not be able to get the other four Five Elements Spirit Orbs. If you want to get other Five Elements Spirit Orbs, you can only go to the other four inner formations and break the core formation eyes of those four formations.
With the help of the flying skateboard, Qinghong Zhenjun and others soon came to Ye Zan's side. Seeing that Ye Zan was refining the Fire Spirit Orb, everyone didn't step forward to disturb him, but acted as guardians around him.
No one was dissatisfied with Ye Zan's acquisition of the Fire Lingzhu. After all, Ye Zan's mission was actually the most difficult and dangerous. And what's more, even if Ye Zan had refined the Fire Spirit Orb, it would be impossible to take it out. Who would call this thing a formation eye?
On Ye Zan's side, with the help of the Eye of True Knowledge, it took about half an hour to finally complete the refining of the Fire Lingzhu, or the refining of the Eye of the Fire Formation. He opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed at the Fire Spirit Orb, and the Fire Spirit Orb immediately flew into the magma pool where the Balrog once hid with an afterimage.
And following Ye Zan's movements, the people around him suddenly felt lighter, and the air-restriction was lifted at this moment. Although there are flying skateboards, everyone is still more accustomed to using their own method of flying away. For them, the flying skateboard is like a wheelchair. Who would like to sit in a wheelchair if they can walk, run and jump normally.
"My dear brother, it seems that you have already mastered this great formation, what is your plan next?" True Lord Qinghong stepped forward and asked Ye Zan.
Although it is said that just refining the eyes of the fire element formation does not mean that it has fully mastered the pros and cons of the five elements formation. However, just relying on this part of the control, it is enough for Ye Zan to lead people unimpeded in this positive and negative five-element formation. After all, the other four big formations also have the power of this fire formation, which will give Ye Zan a certain "privilege".
"I do have an idea." Ye Zan touched his chin, with a smirk on his face, and when everyone came to him, he said, "Just now, through the eyes of the fire formation, I have also learned about the other four big cities. The scene in the array."
