Chapter 1518 Dark Forest

The forbidden area behind Shennong Mountain is deep in the underground palace.

Liang Yan stood in the darkness, his brows furrowed and his face solemn.

He was holding a fragment of clothing in his hand, and the owner of the fragment was Wu Xin

Just now, he witnessed Wuxin being dragged into the depths of darkness by strange vines, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not save his beloved from the vines.

Unconsciously, he followed the vines into the depths of darkness.

There is no light here, and the sight can only see a range of about ten feet. The spiritual consciousness is also restricted by a strange force and cannot spread out.

In the darkness, Liang Yan wanted to make a secret and escape, but found that there was a powerful seal around him, making it impossible to use the escape light.

"What the hell is this place? And what are those vines that drag Wuxin away?"

Although he failed to save Wu Xin, Liang Yan had no time to blame himself.

Now that he is the only one left, he can be said to be the last hope for the three of them. They must not mess up their position and must be careful and careful every step of the way.

Thinking of this, Liang Yan forced himself to calm down.

Judging from previous encounters, the traps in this underground palace do not exist for killing people, but more like an assessment.

"Those vines are invulnerable to water and fire. They are obviously powerful, but they did not directly harm Wu Xin and Wei Long. They just dragged them into the depths of darkness. What is in this darkness? Is it also a test of the underground palace?"

Liang Yan's thoughts were racing, and he made a decision after a moment.

No matter what, you can't leave Wu Xin alone.

He put the corner of his clothes into his sleeves, raised his hand to create a magic formula, and used the golden light of "All Dharmas and Empty Phases" to protect his whole body. At the same time, he took out the Dingguang Sword Pill and hid it by his side.

After making all preparations, Liang Yan stepped forward cautiously in the direction where Wu Xin disappeared.

Boundless darkness enveloped Liang Yan, and the surroundings were eerily silent. As far as his eyes could see, he could only see an area of ​​about ten feet.

A quarter of an hour later.

Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and saw blurry shapes in front of him. There seemed to be something in the darkness.

This made him more vigilant. He put his right hand behind his back without any trace, clasped the fastest Purple Thunder Sword Pill in his hand, and then slowly advanced towards the black shadow.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Soon the thing in the dark came into view.

"This is."

Liang Yan looked at the scene in front of him with a hint of surprise on his face.

What came into view were several black ancient trees with countless vines wrapped around them. Most of them were stationary, and only a few vines were slowly squirming.

Looking at the trunks of those ancient trees, there were countless human faces on them, each one wailing silently and looking extremely painful.

Such a strange ancient tree made Liang Yan extremely wary.

But he did not give up his intention to move forward. He only thought about it for a moment, then secretly used the Tianji Pearl in his body to completely erase his breath, and then continued to move forward resolutely.

When passing by an ancient tree, a few motionless vines suddenly raised their heads, as if they smelled something different.

But Liang Yan had already activated the Tianji Pearl, and all his aura was covered up. The vines just raised their heads slightly and found nothing unusual. They soon calmed down and wrapped around the branches again.

Seeing this scene, Liang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward quickly.

As he continued to go deeper, he found himself entering a forest.

Surrounded by weird ancient trees, all kinds of miserable faces appeared on the left and right. The depressing atmosphere made him even more worried about the missing Wu Xin, and his face became more and more gloomy.

At this moment, Liang Yan's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the darkness.

"Is there anyone?"

Liang Yan's heart stirred, and his eyes were alert and a little expectant at the same time.

Although the direction of the sound may be dangerous, it may also be unintentional!

In order to rescue Wu Xin, he was unwilling to miss any opportunity.

Thinking of this, Liang Yan took the initiative to walk in the direction of the source of the sound.

On the other side, the rustling sound did not disappear, and the distance was getting closer and closer. It seemed that something was moving towards Liang Yan.

Both sides approached at the same time. Ten breaths later, Liang Yan saw a figure appearing in the darkness. Judging from the appearance, it seemed to be a woman.

"Wu Xin?"

Liang Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and took two more steps forward until the figure came into his sight.

"why you?!"

The moment he saw the other person clearly, Liang Yan's expression changed slightly.

The woman walking out of the darkness was not Wu Xin, but Zi Lan, who was trapped on the bank of the Yin River not long ago!

"Why is Zi Lan here?" Liang Yan's mind raced with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

I remember that when we were on the bank of the Yin River, Zi Lan was able to deal with the vines in the dark with those twelve black daggers. And when he chased Wu Xin deep into the darkness, Zi Lan was still on the shore. Why did she appear in the woods in the blink of an eye?

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Liang Yan knew that the woman in front of him was an enemy rather than a friend.

When two people meet, there will be a fight!

Sure enough, before Liang Yan could make a move, Zi Lan had already seen through his hidden position. With a squeeze of the magic formula in his hand, poisonous mist spurted out, turning into a vicious beast "Poison Fly" in mid-air and heading straight for Liang Yan!

Facing Zi Lan's magical power, Liang Yan did not dare to be careless.

With a thought, the Mayfly Sword Pill turned into a blue rainbow and stabbed the "Poison Fly" in mid-air.

brush!

The sword pill shot through the air and pierced the throat of "Poison Fei". However, the aura of the ferocious beast did not weaken at all. Instead, it roared wildly and its speed suddenly more than doubled.

Liang Yan was startled and hurriedly jumped back while waving his right sleeve.

I saw thunder exploding between the sleeves, and the Purple Thunder Sword Pill shot out of the air, slashing horizontally with the sword, blocking the way of the vicious beast "Du Fei".

Boom!

Amidst the loud noise, the thunderous sword light spread out in all directions, and the sword energy penetrated into the body of the vicious beast "Poison Fly" and dispersed a lot of the poisonous mist.

The originally aggressive "Poison Fly" finally slowed down.

"Could it be that the Thunder Sword Intent has a restraining effect on this ferocious beast?"

Although Liang Yan was a little confused, he still took advantage of this opportunity to move backwards and quickly distanced himself from Zi Lan.

If it comes to fighting alone, Liang Yan knows that he has no chance.

Because Zi Lan is a monk who has survived two disasters and seven disasters. His cultivation level is much higher than his own, and he also has twelve extremely powerful black flying knives in his hands. When facing the enemy head-on, he has no chance of winning. .

But now the battlefield is very delicate. The strange woods limit the consciousness and sight of the two people. Everyone can only see within ten feet, which gives Liang Yan a chance to defeat the strong with the weak.

He practices "Eight Divisions of Evolution", and his five senses and six senses are far superior to monks of the same level. Even if he is ten feet away and cannot see the enemy clearly, he can still roughly perceive the opponent's position.

But ten feet away, Zi Lan may not be able to detect Liang Yan's movements in time.

This is why Liang Yan is eager to distance himself.

He forced Zi Lan back with a sword, jumped back, and soon opened the distance between the two to ten feet away, and Zi Lan's figure disappeared from his sight.

The next moment, Liang Yan ran the "Eight Parts of Evolution" and displayed the "Bodhi Mirror". From a place ten feet away, a faint wave of breath could be vaguely felt.

"over there!"

Liang Yan didn't hesitate at all, pinched the sword secret in his hand, and activated the invisible sword light that had been hidden for a long time, silently slashing towards the location of the aura.

brush!

The sword light fell and did not stab Zi Lan as expected. Instead, it was blocked by a domineering force.

Liang Yan and Dingguang Jianwan had the same mind. Although they couldn't see clearly the scene in the darkness, they still felt the power.

"Huh?"

Liang Yan frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt on his face.

Before he could think about it, space fluctuations suddenly came from behind him, followed by a strong killing intent spreading from behind.

Liang Yan was shocked and hurriedly looked back, only to see Zi Lan emerging from the void with a cold expression. Without saying anything, she raised her hand and shot out twelve black lights.

"Those flying knives again!"

Liang Yan was secretly frightened and his face was solemn.

In order to attack Zi Lan just now, he had already killed the Dingguang Sword Pill. Now he still has three sword pills, Zi Lei, Black Lotus, and Mayfly. He can only use these three sword pills to resist the twelve powerful flying knives. .

Time was running out, so Liang Yan didn't hesitate at all. He raised his hand and pinched the technique, and three sword pills shot through the air at the same time, turning into three different sword lights and facing the black flying knife in mid-air.

The black flying knife was one of the inheritances of the underground palace. It was extremely powerful, and Liang Yan had already learned about it.

Only by teaming up with Wu Xin and Wei Long could he be on par with Zi Lan who had a flying knife. Now that he was alone, the fight was really tight.

However, Liang Yan was not without a chance of winning. He also got an inherited treasure in the underground palace, which was the "Ziwei Star Magic Plate"!

This magic weapon can evolve the starry sky and spawn the demonic energy of the stars, which can be used to seal the opponent's spiritual power, making it impossible to use magical powers.

However, this magic weapon requires a certain amount of time to cast, and its range is not large. With Liang Yan's current level of cultivation, it is difficult to hit the opponent. It must be used in conjunction with other moves and magical powers.

Thinking of the "Ziwei Star Magic Plate", Liang Yan already had a countermeasure in his mind.

The next moment, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the three sword pills of Zi Lei, Black Lotus, and Mayfly turned from offense to defense and retreated to his side at the same time.

When Zi Lan saw this, he didn't hesitate. The twelve flying knives took advantage of the victory and were in front of him in an instant.

But Liang Yan turned around at this moment, and his whole person suddenly disappeared from where he was.

The entire dark forest became quiet again at this moment. Zi Lan looked solemnly and looked around intently, seemingly looking for Liang Yan's hiding place.

Suddenly, without any warning, an invisible sword light appeared behind Zi Lan and slashed towards her.

Zi Lan's consciousness was sharp and her reaction was quick. The moment the Dingguang Sword Pill appeared, she hurriedly jumped up and narrowly avoided the sneak attack.

She was in mid-air, raised her hand and made a move. The twelve flying knives in the distance seemed to sense and turned into twelve black lights, flying towards her location at the same time.

However, before the flying knife could return, a huge force came from behind.

But Liang Yan appeared from the void, clenched a fist with his right hand, and punched Zi Lan with golden light.

At this moment, the distance between the two people was less than three feet, and the power of the Vajra came out vigorously. Without the obstruction of the twelve black flying knives, this punch went straight to Zi Lan's chest.

Seeing that the Buddhist fist was about to fall on him, Zi Lan's face became solemn, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out.

A black snake emerged from her mouth. Through the heavy golden light, it was unharmed and soon wrapped around Liang Yan's right arm.

In just a few breaths, black spots the size of copper coins appeared on the skin of Liang Yan's right arm. A feeling of weakness came to his heart, and his fist strength also weakened by about 70%.

But Liang Yan did not give up, gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and sent his fist to the opponent's chest.

"Well"

Zi Lan groaned and swayed slightly.

Before she could react, another compass flew out of Liang Yan's sleeve. The demonic energy in the compass evolved in countless ways. In the blink of an eye, a deep starry sky was created around Zi Lan.

The power of the stars mixed with the powerful demonic energy and turned into the power of the star demon, which quickly blocked Zi Lan's spiritual power.

At the same time, the nearest Dingguang Sword Pill was activated again, and the invisible sword light arrived instantly, slashing behind Zi Lan with his sword.

This sword was cunning and vicious, and was about to seriously injure Zi Lan.

At the critical moment, the poisonous snake wrapped around Liang Yan's right shoulder suddenly exploded. Colorful poisonous gas spurted out and turned into a poisonous dagger, which directly pierced Liang Yan's right shoulder.

A stream of blood spurted out, and heartbreaking pain came from his right shoulder, making Liang Yan feel dazed for a moment.

It was this moment of trance that allowed Zi Lan to successfully avoid the Dingguang Sword Pill. The invisible sword light brushed past her left shoulder, and only a small part of the sword energy pierced the shoulder.

As soon as these sword energy stirred in Zilan's flesh and blood, it immediately penetrated her right shoulder, and blood spurted out!

Although this round of fighting is a long story, it actually only lasted a moment.

Liang Yan and Zi Lan both suffered losses!

Blood dripped slowly along their arms. Because the distance between the two was very close, almost within reach, the blood flowed to the ground and slowly merged together.

At this moment, Liang Yan suddenly felt a familiar and strange feeling in his heart.

He pinched a sword spell in his hand and turned the light sword pill in mid-air. He originally planned to take advantage of Zi Lan's spiritual power being locked by the "Ziwei Star Demonic Disk" to pursue the victory and deliver a fatal blow.

But at this moment, he hesitated.

Because that feeling was so familiar, so intimate, that the tip of the fixed light sword had reached the top of Zi Lan's head, but the light of the sword could not fall.

"No, that's not right!"

In Liang Yan's heart, a voice shouted.

His expression changed again and again. Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Zi Lan who was very close at hand, and murmured in his mouth: "You, you are not Zi Lan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Lan on the other side actually said at the same time: "You are not Zi Lan!"

At this moment, in Liang Yan's eyes, Zi Lan's appearance began to change.
