Chapter 2248 Breaking the Formation

It was dark inside the Shenju Palace, and the divine consciousness could not spread. It could only see a distance of about ten feet nearby.

The oil lamps in the distance were looming in the darkness. They did not light the way for everyone, but instead looked like a pair of strange eyes, secretly monitoring everyone's every move.

Zhuge Wulie led the two to move forward slowly, always keeping vigilant.

Just when they walked to the center of the hall, the surrounding oil lamps trembled suddenly and all went out in an instant!

At the same time, the gloomy wind roared in the hall, coming from all directions, like invisible sharp blades, trying to cut the flesh of the three people.

"Everyone be careful."

Zhuge Wulie's voice was very calm. He pinched the sword formula in his hand, and the "Shenwu Sword" shook lightly in the air, instantly stirring up a powerful sword wind.

This sword wind rolled in all directions, and actually rolled back all the roaring gloomy winds.

This move was simple and unpretentious, but the sword cultivation revealed was extremely strong! Even Lu Xuanji couldn't help but praise it in his heart when he saw it.

However, although the wind had receded, the danger was not over.

In the darkness, there was a rustling sound.

Everyone concentrated and sensed for a moment, and soon found that the source of the sound was under the stone bricks of the palace.

Suddenly, dozens of black shadows emerged from under the stone bricks, at a very fast speed, and their bodies twisted, like chains, trying to lock the three people in the hall.

The three of them did not hesitate, and almost at the same time, they drew their swords and slashed at these black shadows.

However, something strange happened!

These black shadows were not afraid of their sword energy at all, just like the breeze passing by the edge of the sword light, without any damage on their bodies.

"Use true fire!"

Zhuge Wulie seemed to have thought of something, and roared, and immediately used the Confucian true fire.

After hearing this, Su Xiaodie and Lu Xuanji did not hesitate, and each activated their magic power to form a circle of fire around them.

Sure enough, those black shadows were afraid of fire. The moment everyone lit up the fire, they stopped moving forward and quickly retreated backwards.

With the help of the firelight, Lu Xuanji finally saw the appearance of these shadows.

They were actually snakemen!

They were several feet long, with hideous faces and a bloody mouth on their abdomens. They were salivating and looked very creepy.

"What is this?" Lu Xuanji frowned slightly.

"This is the 'Snake Void', which is dedicated to guarding the Shenji Palace. Unlike other Tianxu, they will not actively attack living beings unless you forcefully break into the territory they are guarding."

Zhuge Wulie had participated in many virtual realm discussions and was very experienced, so he recognized the origins of these snakemen at a glance.

After hearing this, Lu Xuanji whispered, "They are all afraid of fire, but unfortunately none of us are masters of the Fire Spirit Law. This level of true fire can only force them back..."

"Right."

Zhuge Wulie nodded seriously, "Be careful, these snakes are extremely powerful, and they are determined to protect the Shenji Palace until they die. They will never stop until they kill the invaders. They will definitely come back again."

Just as the three were secretly communicating, the snakes could no longer hold back.

They found that the fire in the hall was far less powerful than they had imagined, so they overcame their instinctive fear and approached Lu Xuanji and others again.

"The body fluids of the snakes have a strong corrosive ability, even the magic flying sword can corrode it. Don't let them touch the natal flying sword, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" Zhuge Wulie reminded.

"I understand."

Lu Xuanji and Su Xiaodie both nodded slightly.

The next moment, the two of them each pinched their fingers and displayed their swordsmanship.

Lu Xuanji took his natal sword pill into his body and used the sword finger secret technique. Sword lights burst out from his fingertips, with extremely powerful destructive power.

Su Xiaodie turned the sword energy into countless colorful butterflies, flying in the hall, leaving traces in the void wherever they passed, constantly harassing the nearby snakes.

Although the snakes were strange, the magical powers of these two people could just restrain them. After only a moment of fighting between the two sides, these snakes were suppressed. Even with the powerful Tianxu evil spirit, they could not break through the sword light circle of the three people.

"Keep the formation. There is definitely more than one layer of snake defense in this hall. Be careful of being ambushed."

Zhuge Wulie reminded the other two while fighting.

In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Lu Xuanji was on guard in his heart. His consciousness was always observing the surroundings, and he would be alert as long as there was a slight movement.

The two sides fought for about a quarter of an hour, and one of the snakes suddenly screamed, but was pierced through the chest by Lu Xuanji's dragon elephant sword finger.

The snake fell to the ground, and its body turned into black water, gradually blending into the shadow of the hall.

"Something is wrong..." Lu Xuanji noticed something was wrong.

Although his strength was not the best, his spiritual sense was so strong that it was unmatched by ordinary people.

At this time, he used his spiritual sense to sweep and immediately discovered the changes in the hall.

The black water after the death of the snake did not dissipate, but instead split into six and entered the six stone pillars around it.

Then, the six stone pillars sank into the ground at the same time.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a huge wheel slowly turning...

"Be careful!"

Lu Xuanji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he used the "Dragon Elephant Sword Finger" to force back the four snakes around him, and then rushed to Su Xiaodie's side at the fastest speed.

Su Xiaodie was fighting with three snakes, and suddenly heard Lu Xuanji's reminder. Without thinking, she immediately pulled back and tried to distance herself from these snakes.

However, at the moment she moved, a strange rune suddenly appeared in the void above her head!

As the rune flickered, a turquoise light shot out from it, like a narrow cage, sealing her body in place.

Swish!

Seeing this, Lu Xuanji immediately pointed out with a finger, and the sharp sword energy pierced the strange rune on Su Xiaodie's head.

But the rune seemed to be non-existent, allowing his sword energy to penetrate it without any damage.

"How could this happen..." Lu Xuanji's eyes showed surprise.

But he quickly understood it after a thought.

The entire hall is actually a huge magic array, stone pillars, oil lamps, snake phantoms, runes... are all part of this magic array.

These things do not exist alone, but are linked together.

For example, the snake phantom that just died did not disappear, but appeared in another form in the magic array, which is now the strange rune that trapped Su Xiaodie!

Lu Xuanji figured this out and no longer insisted on destroying the rune.

He stood in front of Su Xiaodie and used the "Sword Finger of Shattering Desolation". The sharp sword energy spread out in all directions and soon repelled the swarming snakes.

"This palace is a magic array. Killing the snakes is useless. What's important is to destroy the core of the magic array!" Lu Xuanji told Zhuge Wulie his guess.

After hearing this, Zhuge Wulie only thought for a moment and nodded: "Daoyou Lu's guess makes sense. Xiaodie, can you still use the sword hidden secret technique in the rune restriction?"

"I'll try."

After Su Xiaodie finished speaking, she closed her eyes slightly and pinched the sword formula in her hand.

Groups of firefly-like lights emanated from her body. They were not affected by the rune restriction, rushed out of the cage, and spread in all directions.

Soon, these sword beams merged into the darkness, like fireflies at night, and disappeared...

Seeing this, Lu Xuanji did not disturb Su Xiaodie, but stayed by her side and used the sword finger secret technique without reservation.

These snakes are responsible for guarding the temple. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary sky-gods. With the blessing of the magic circle, they can almost rival the cultivators of the human race who have passed the eight difficulties.

In order to prevent Su Xiaodie from getting hurt, Lu Xuanji blocked eight sky-gods with his own strength. It can be said that he was extremely brave!

As for Su Xiaodie, she completely trusted Lu Xuanji and didn't care about the hideous snakes around her at all. Instead, she concentrated on casting spells.

After persisting for about a quarter of an hour, Su Xiaodie suddenly opened her eyes and shouted:

"Found it!"

Her left and right hands pointed in a direction respectively: "There are two cores of the magic circle, one on the northwest wall and one in the southwest underground."

As she pointed, two fireflies lit up in the darkness.

That was her butterfly sword energy, which emitted a faint light in the darkness, but it only lasted for a moment and was soon swallowed by the surrounding fog.

Fortunately, this time was enough.

The light just now had marked the location for Zhuge Wulie!

He glanced at Lu Xuanji and said in a deep voice: "Daoyou Lu, I will go to break the formation, and Xiaodie will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry." Lu Xuanji smiled slightly.

Zhuge Wulie did not hesitate any longer, and sacrificed the "Nine Sky Wings". His figure flashed and rushed towards the direction Su Xiaodie had pointed just now.

As he left, the seven snakes who had been fighting with him had no opponents, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Lu Xuanji and Su Xiaodie.

Su Xiaodie was trapped in the rune restriction and had no way to help.

In other words, the pressure of these fifteen snakes fell on Lu Xuanji alone!

Roar!

A series of roars sounded in the darkness, and those snakes seemed to be manic and launched a fierce attack on Lu Xuanji.

Lu Xuanji looked solemn, but he did not retreat.

He used the sword finger secrets such as "Smashing Wasteland Sword Finger", "Prisoner Sword Finger", "Dragon Elephant Sword Finger" to the extreme, and his slender fingers kept stabbing out, and the sword energy was flying in the air. He fought back the besieged Shexu again and again.

Boom!

During the fierce fight, a loud noise came from the distance.

It turned out that Zhuge Wulie lived up to everyone's expectations and had destroyed the first magic circle core.

He did not stop at all, and immediately activated the escape light and rushed to the second magic circle core guided by Su Xiaodie.

However, while he was flying, the ground of the Shenju Palace suddenly turned.

These floor tiles were divided into seven layers, rotating in different directions, with different speeds, and all kinds of strange runes were lit up!

"Not good!" Lu Xuanji's face changed slightly.

He was knowledgeable and understood at a glance that this was the magic circle that started self-destruction, and it was going to burn all its power and perish with these invaders!

This is exactly the case. At the same time when the ground of the Shenxu Palace was rotating, a gray-brown mist seeped out from the cracks in the ground.

Affected by the mist, Shexu's eyes turned blood red and his body began to burn, but his breath was growing rapidly!

"We must destroy the second magic circle core as soon as possible!" Lu Xuanji said to Zhuge Wulie while resisting Shexu's attack.

After hearing this, Zhuge Wulie narrowed his eyes slightly, accelerated his speed, and instantly came to the front of the second magic circle core.

Swish!

At the moment when his sword light fell, a layer of gray-brown barrier appeared in the air, like a huge palm, holding his flying sword tightly!

As strong as Zhuge Wulie was, he couldn't cut it down for a while!

"It's bad!"

Zhuge Wulie's face changed drastically, and his spiritual sense swept far away.

Sure enough, the strengthened snake virtual had greatly increased its combat power. At this time, it had broken through Lu Xuanji's sword energy blockade and launched a fierce attack on him.

How could Lu Xuanji resist it alone?

But in a moment, he was already injured, and a snake virtual took the opportunity to bite his arm.

The saliva of the snake virtual had a strong corrosive ability, which melted when it came into contact with blood, and soon invaded his body.

Lu Xuanji's face was pale, and he endured the pain and urged his sword finger to pierce the snake virtual.

But in this way, more flaws were exposed, and the other snake virtuals swarmed up, and soon caused multiple injuries on him!

Looking at Lu Xuanji's shaky body, Su Xiaodie's face changed drastically.

She thought she was just a tool used by Lu Xuanji, but she didn't expect that at this time, Lu Xuanji would not retreat!

At this moment, Su Xiaodie was in a state of panic, and she shouted with all her might: "Lu Xuanji, go away, don't worry about me!"

"Shut up." Lu Xuanji said only three words.

It's not that he was aloof, but he really couldn't be distracted... The surrounding snakes were all crazy, and their combat power soared. Both their speed and strength were not at the same level as before.

He could only defend himself, so how could he have the heart to argue with Su Xiaodie?

However, Lu Xuanji would not abandon Su Xiaodie no matter what.

In such a place, if Su Xiaodie died, it would be like destroying his own eyes for him!

If it really didn't work, he would have to use the Chaos Sword Qi in the end. Although it would arouse Zhuge Wulie's suspicion, it would be better than abandoning Su Xiaodie.

In this way, Lu Xuanji did not retreat and stayed in front of Su Xiaodie.

He pushed his magic power to the extreme, and the sword finger secret technique was perfectly combined with his physical strength. The sword light bursting from his fingertips was extremely sharp!

Unfortunately, those snakes were too powerful and fearless.

Although Lu Xuanji killed three of them, the remaining ones left him with more injuries.

In just a moment, Lu Xuanji was covered in blood, and some parts were severely corroded, even his bones were exposed...

"Brother Lu!"

Su Xiaodie's heart was broken, and her eyes were blurred with tears. She wished she could rush out of the cage and bear such pain for Lu Xuanji.

At this moment, a powerful sword intent suddenly erupted in the distance!

Zhuge Wulie had a serious expression, and a golden figure appeared above his head, merging with the flying sword, and then slashed down fiercely.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the barrier protecting the core of the magic circle was shattered into pieces, and turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated in the air.

At the same time, the golden sword light fell suddenly, splitting the last magic circle core of the Shenju Palace in half...
