Chapter 369 Taoist Ziye and Liang Cuier

"Brother Yang, when I was brought here by the senior casual cultivator, there was no man in black armor guarding the entrance of the stone staircase. It seems that the senior casual cultivator left and this black-armored guard appeared."

Du Qiu took a few pills of Yang Che's Yuan Protecting Pills and felt that his injuries were slightly better.

It's just that some weird demonic energy has invaded his body, making him still a little weak.

"Brother Du Qiu, please enter my magic stone space to recover from your injuries."

Yang Che put the poisonous dragon into the blue lake in the magic stone space.

He could clearly feel that Poison Qiu's injury was a bit serious.

Poison Qiu transformed from a dragon into a dragon, and his current strength is comparable to the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul.

However, the black-armored guard guarding the entrance of the stone staircase severely wounded Du Qiu with one shot. This strength will never be lower than that of the late Nascent Soul.

Yang Che has already learned twice how difficult it is to deal with monks in the late Nascent Soul stage.

One time was when Du Qiu was going through the tribulation and killed the late Nascent Soul monk who looked like a thick-browed man.

The other time was to kill Jiang Yuan, the old man with unibrowed eyebrows in Jiang Huocheng.

Both times, I relied on the 'magical power of nothingness', and I was able to kill him only after being in danger.

Without the magical power of nothingness, Yang Che would never have been able to kill the late Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yang Che stood under the arch, observing the black-armored guard with an indifferent expression.

After a long time, he discovered that the black-armored guard seemed to be only lingering within a few feet of the stone staircase entrance.

Even after this person seriously wounded Du Qiu with one shot, he did not pursue him.

Yang Che couldn't see this person's face, nor could he sense the fluctuations in this person's cultivation aura.

The only thing that is certain is that this person has a faint demonic energy emanating from him.

"Fellow Taoist, this is Yang Tianxie, may I ask who your friend is?" Yang Che asked tentatively.

The black-armored guard remained silent and didn't even look at Yang Che.

Gradually, Yang Che discovered some clues.

He decided to test it out.

Thirty-six stone swords were sacrificed to form a Taixuanyin lightsaber array, and they directly cut down the black-armored guard.

The black-armored guard finally raised his head.

At the moment when the thirty-six stone swords were slashed, he swung the spear at an angle.

A ‘Zila’ sound.

Yang Che's sword formation was broken.

All thirty-six stone swords were bounced away.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Che saw the black-armored guard suddenly pointing the tip of his spear at him.

In an instant, a black dragon phantom roared and rushed over.

Yang Che's heart trembled.

Thirty-six stone swords flew back quickly to form sword shields, trying to block the black dragon's shadow.

'Bang'

There was a dull explosion.

The stone sword was broken open again.

An extremely huge impact came, and Yang Che was forced to retreat, all the way back to the corridor passage, where the poisonous dragon had previously hit.

The black-armored guard did not pursue him. Instead, he held a spear and continued to linger within a few feet of the stone staircase entrance.

Yang Che took a pill to protect the Yuan.

Then walked under the arch bridge again.

This time, he condensed the 'Purple Striped Thunder Spear'.

The same spear, crackling with lightning and flashing, stabbed at the black-armored guard quickly.

The black-armored guard suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He turned the black spear in his hand, and a circular black shield surrounded by demonic energy appeared.

There was a ‘boom’.

With a trembling buzz, the purple-striped thunder gun hit the round black shield hard.

Before it was over, Yang Che had already condensed two more purple-striped thunder spears, one after another, and struck the round black shield.

The demonic energy on the black shield was immediately restrained and quickly began to dissipate.

After the demonic energy dissipated, a purple-striped thunder spear finally penetrated the black shield and stabbed the black-armored guard.

However, Yang Che's pupils shrank at this time.

He saw the thunder gun explode firmly on the black-armored guard, but the black-armored guard was not damaged at all.

Yang Che's heart sank, and he quickly retreated, back to the corridor again.

As if the black-armored guard was finally aroused, he raised his spear and the black dragon's shadow reappeared and swallowed Yang Che.

Yang Che sneered, raised his hand to seal the secret, and displayed the 'Thunder Cloud Storm'.

The rotating thundercloud formed a storm and directly collided with the black dragon, creating a huge roar in the corridor.

The black dragon disappeared, and the thundercloud also gradually dispersed.

Yang Che's eyes were cold.

After several tests, he has determined that the black-armored guard is not a monk at all, but a humanoid 'puppet'.

It's just that this black-armored puppet is incredibly powerful.

His thunder spells had a restraining effect on the demonic energy itself, but in the confrontation, the black-armored puppet did not lose at all.

After staring in thought for a moment, Yang Che moved his palm and took out a small bronze cauldron.

Inside this small bronze cauldron, there are extremely corrosive blood-colored water droplets.

It was obtained by killing the monk in the late Nascent Soul stage who looked like a thick-browed man.

Yang Che is going to use this blood-colored water droplet to test how strong this black-armored puppet's body is!

But just as he arrived under the arch, before taking action, he suddenly heard a strange voice:

"Fellow Daoist Yang, don't fight. You can't beat him. This is a puppet that is comparable to the strength of Yuanying Dzogchen. Even if you can beat him, you won't be able to step on the stone stairs."

This voice sounded very pleasant to the ear, and it was actually the voice of a woman.

Yang Che was startled, and with an indifferent expression, he quickly used his spiritual sense to search around carefully, and finally locked his eyes on a stone wall not far from the stone staircase.

"Hey, fellow Daoist Yang's spiritual consciousness is not so strong, he was able to discover me."

The woman's sweet voice floated out from the stone wall.

Yang Che said coldly: "Fellow Taoist, there is no point in hiding. Hurry up and show yourself."

At the same time, he was secretly on guard.

Yang Che heard the woman sigh and say:

"I wanted to show up, but unfortunately I'm trapped and can't get out."

Yang Che didn't know whether what this woman said was true or not. After thinking for a while, he simply gave up on entering the first floor and prepared to return the way he came.

When she saw Yang Che turning around and leaving, the woman was obviously a little surprised and immediately shouted:

"Oh, don't go, don't go. We can make a deal. If you can rescue me, I will agree to whatever conditions you ask for."

The woman suddenly said coquettishly.

Yang Che had no expression on his face, turned a deaf ear and continued walking out.

He had no interest in the deal.

Seeing that Yang Che was about to disappear in the corridor, the woman became anxious and used her trump card:

"Fellow Daoist Yang, this cave is the cave of Taoist Ziye. The cave contains the secret to entering the upper world, and I am a descendant of Taoist Ziye."

When Yang Che heard this, his steps suddenly stopped.

Thinking of the information about the Upper Realm that Master had touched on his eyebrows before he died, and the information about the Upper Realm that flooded into his mind, and that the owner of the cave seemed to have entered the Upper Realm, Yang Che stared in deep thought.

Finally, he returned under the arch.

"Fellow Taoist, tell me your name. Take a soul oath to prove that what you say is true." Yang Che still looked indifferent.

Inside the stone wall, the woman was so angry that she clenched her teeth and cursed in her heart that Yang Tianxie was really 'cold-blooded'.

However, after so many years, she finally encountered someone entering this place. If she missed it, she might never be able to get out again.

Thinking of this, the woman gritted her teeth, pondered for a while, and made a soul oath.

Then the woman continued: "My name is Liang Cuier. Taoist Ziye was originally the ancestor of my Liang family, but he disappeared thousands of years ago. It was not until my Liang family faced genocide later that the secret hand he left behind in the clan was activated, and I was lucky enough to survive. We came down and learned that our ancestors had left a cave here."

"Then how did you get trapped?" Yang Che asked.

The woman suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the woman said quietly: "I feel sad when I mention this matter. It was my ungrateful quasi-Taoist companion who cruelly teamed up with others to deceive me."

The woman said, sobbing softly.
