Chapter 452 Space Scroll
At this moment, the body of Venerable Mu Gu stiffened instantly. The sudden severe pain penetrated his body like an electric current, instantly waking him up from Xiao Ling's soul control.
However, even if he regained consciousness, the result of all this could not be changed.
When he realized his situation, shock and disbelief were deeply engraved on his face.
In his eyes, the light of life was like a candle extinguished by the wind, quickly dimming, leaving only endless emptiness and despair.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling's face was slightly happy, and his figure instantly passed through the void and came to the body of Venerable Mu Gu. With a wave of his hand, he packed up the body of Venerable Mu Gu, the soul body that had not yet dissipated in his body, and the somewhat agitated Void Swallowing Flame, and instantly absorbed them into the system space.
This series of actions was clean and neat, without a trace of dragging.
At the same time, the three Heavenly Demon Puppets that had just completed their mission did not stop for a moment. They quickly adjusted their attack postures and launched a fierce attack on the remaining three Soul Hall Elders like a tiger descending from the mountain. They were full of murderous intent and showed no mercy.
Feeling the changes here, the three old ghosts who were already in a miserable situation suddenly changed their faces and showed fear.
They had been beaten all over by the fierce attacks of the Heavenly Demon Puppets. They could not resist the three Heavenly Demon Puppets for long. If there was one more, they would probably follow the footsteps of the Mu Gu Elder in an instant.
"Star-Picking Heavenly Lord, why don't you use that thing quickly? If this goes on, the three of us are afraid that we will all die here!" At this time, the Soul Hall Elder in the most miserable state had a trembling voice with a trace of despair, and couldn't help shouting loudly.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling's expression could not help but change slightly, and he thought to himself, could it be that these guys really have some very powerful trump cards in their hands?
After hearing the cry for help from the elder of the Soul Palace, the old ghost Zhaixing glanced at the four Heavenly Demon Puppets that had joined the other three Heavenly Demon Puppets and were attacking him fiercely, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Ling, it is you who forced me to this point! Today, this place will definitely become your burial place!"
The voice of the old ghost Zhaixing was as sharp and piercing as a night owl. His skinny palm suddenly flipped, and a space scroll suddenly appeared in his palm.
In the eyes of everyone with different expressions, he squeezed it hard without hesitation, and the scroll shattered with a sound, and the fragments floated in the air.
As the scroll shattered, a violent space fluctuation broke out from the fragments, like rippling water, and quickly spread to the surroundings.
This powerful space force suddenly broke out, and even those Heavenly Demon Puppets that were about to touch the figures of the old ghost Zhaixing and others were forcibly repelled for a distance.
This wave gradually condensed in the air, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it, and gathered into a mysterious silver-white light circle. The center of the light circle seemed to contain endless depths, like a door of time and space that was about to be opened.
After completing this series of actions, the faces of the old ghost Zhaixing and the other two elders of the Soul Palace all showed a look of joy.
At this moment, they seemed to have completely forgotten the current dangerous situation. Their minds and sights were completely attracted by the things that were about to appear, full of expectations.
By then, the top masters of the Soul Palace will come here in person. By then, the various difficulties they are currently facing will be like ice and snow meeting the sun, and will melt away in an instant.
As for the hateful Xiao Ling, even if he has mastered many extraordinary and strange puppets, he is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the strong men of the Soul Palace, and he is destined to die here today.
This space scroll was originally carefully prepared by the Soul Palace for a secret operation against the Three Thousand Flames.
However, the situation was pressing, and the old ghost Zhaixing had no choice but to use it. In this way, the Soul Palace's plan for the Three Thousand Flames was naturally declared bankrupt.
He knew in his heart that he had failed to complete the task this time and caused the Soul Palace to lose an eighth-grade alchemy master. Even if he could return to the Soul Palace safely later, he would be severely punished.
But at this critical moment of life and death, compared with the possible loss of life, those future punishments are no longer so important.
The old ghost Zhaixing also knew in his heart that as long as he could survive, everything could be saved.
Therefore, he made up his mind that no matter how great the price was, he had to get through the crisis in front of him first.
Seeing the old ghost Zhaixing suddenly take out a space scroll, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
But soon, his face changed to an interested look. Obviously, their previous confidence was mostly derived from the blessing of this space scroll.
Xiao Ling thought to himself, no wonder they were so calm, it turned out that they had already prepared this "trump card" and were ready to call the big guys to save people at any time.
However, this time, their wishful thinking was doomed to fail. After all, Xiao Ling was not the only one here, there was also Zi Yan, who was far superior to Xiao Ling in the mastery of spatial power, lurking in the surrounding void.
These people from the Soul Palace had already been put on the hunting list by Xiao Ling, and naturally they had made preparations in advance, so that nothing would go wrong with this matter.
In order to prevent the people from the Soul Palace from escaping, Xiao Ling asked Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan to set up a spatial barrier here before fighting with these people from the Soul Palace.
Therefore, in the eyes of Zi Yan, an eighth-level Taixu ancient dragon, this space scroll, which was regarded as the last hope of escape by the old star-catching ghost, is just a trivial trick that cannot stir up any trouble at all, let alone fulfill its expectations. function.
Hidden in the void, Zi Yan had been watching the battle with a bored attitude. When she saw the old ghost catching stars nervously crushing the space scroll in an attempt to summon reinforcements, her face instantly glowed with excitement. .
"Hehe, it looks like we are finally having some fun. It's my turn to take action." She whispered to herself, her eyes shining with anticipation. “It’s really boring to watch from the sidelines, but now I can finally have some sense of participation.”
With such calculation in mind, Zi Yan gently waved her slender hands, as if plucking some invisible strings, and a force of space spread silently without anyone noticing.
The space crack that was about to burst suddenly began to heal quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye under the gaze of everyone, and finally became as stable as before, as if it had never appeared before.
Those violent spatial energies also began to merge with the surrounding heaven and earth, leaving no trace.
From the perspective of others, they would basically think that there was something wrong with this space scroll, which prevented the successful opening of the space rift.
The Star-Zhaing Old Ghost and the other two elders of the Soul Palace thought this way in their minds at this moment.
However, Xiao Ling knew very well that all this was undoubtedly the result of Zi Yan's secret manipulation. With Zi Yan's ability, it is naturally just a simple matter to break up the space crack before it has fully formed.
Fortunately, this girl was with us this time. Otherwise, although Xiao Ling would not be in danger of his life in the face of the predicament at hand, it would undoubtedly take a lot of effort and time to solve it, and it would inevitably involve a lot of hard work and twists and turns.
"Haha, you actually brought a space scroll to protect you. It seems that the Soul Palace attaches great importance to your actions this time." Xiao Ling sneered, with a hint of ridicule in his voice, "But it seems that this The scroll is just a piece of waste paper at this moment and cannot play any role."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ling lightly hooked his fingers, and the twelve demon puppets seemed to have received a silent order and instantly took action again.
Their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, like twelve golden lightning bolts, piercing the air, and with a fierce murderous intent, they once again launched a violent storm-like attack in the direction of the Star Reaching Old Ghost and his two companions.
At this moment, the mentality of the Soul Palace trio, who had suffered repeated blows, had completely collapsed. Under the siege of the twelve demon puppets, they were like trapped beasts, losing all their ability to fight back.
Those special and weird methods of the Soul Palace that were usually frightening could not be used at this moment, and even the last chance of self-destruction was not touched.
The three Soul Palace Masters could only struggle in despair, but in the end they could not escape the judgment of fate.
The demon puppets carried out Xiao Ling's orders ruthlessly, and every attack made the condition of the trio in the Soul Palace worse and worse. Finally, when they were unable to resist, the metal palm of the Heavenly Demon Puppet penetrated the chests of the elders accurately.
Blood spattered wantonly and lives disappeared quietly. The three elders of the Soul Palace were stabbed to death one by one in this siege. It was really embarrassing.
Who could have expected that the Soul Palace, which was so famous in its hands that no one dared touch its edge, and was known for its weird and ruthless behavior, would actually lose four elders in succession in this alchemy world, and one of them even reached the level of A top alchemist who has reached the eighth-level alchemy master realm.
Even though the Soul Palace has a deep foundation, this loss is undoubtedly a relatively heavy blow.
Seeing the bodies of the three elders of the Soul Palace falling from the sky, they hit the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust, and then there was no more sound.
When Xiao Ling witnessed this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head gently, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and whispered to himself: "Tsk, tsk, this is the ending you asked for. Who made you insist on provoking me, and you ended up like this? It's really It's your own fault, you can't blame me..."
After the words were spoken, Xiao Ling didn't stop for much. He first took back the twelve demon puppets properly, and then with a flash of his figure, he took the lead to the bodies of the three elders of the Soul Palace.
These three Dou Zun bodies and three Dou Zun level soul bodies are indeed good things and must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Xiao Ling did not leave any chance for the souls of these three people to resist. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the souls of the three people from their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, he skillfully sealed these soul bodies into three porcelain bottles, and then used strange fire to carefully seal the bottle mouths.
After completing this series of operations, Xiao Ling felt that everything was safe, so he put the porcelain bottles containing the three souls away properly.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling methodically took off the storage rings from the three Dou Zun bodies, planning to check the trophies in them later, and then put the three bodies into a ring that he specially carried to store various items. In the body's acceptance of the precepts.
At this moment, Zi Yan's figure was like a phantom, gradually solidifying from the void and appearing quietly next to Xiao Ling.
And Xiong Zhan has been guarding the entrance of this valley from beginning to end, ensuring that no other alchemists or monsters from the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains can break into this valley.
"Xiao Ling, why do you always like to pick up other people's bodies and souls after you finish them off? You used to forget about it, but why is it still like this now?"
Zi Yan randomly took out a Narcissus Jade Muscle Fruit from her sleeve, bit the pulp lightly, and asked curiously,
"With your current strength, it seems that there is no need to deliberately collect these materials to refine those puppets that can only reach Dou Zun level at most."
"Haha, I naturally have my reasons and purposes for collecting these, but you don't understand them." Xiao Ling turned his eyes to Zi Yan, raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and answered casually.
Zi Yan's words are not unfounded. With Xiao Ling's current strength, he no longer needs to rely on collecting these materials to refine the Celestial Demon Puppet to enhance his own protection.
Unless a puppet can be made that can compete with a warrior at the Dou Sheng level, other levels of puppets will not be of much use to Xiao Ling at this stage.
However, the main target of Xiao Ling's behavior was naturally those soul bodies, but since they had already collected the soul bodies, he took away those bodies that could still be used.
Anyway, this is just a matter of raising your hand at most, and it doesn't take much time and energy, so why not do it?
Zi Yan heard the words and shook her head slightly. Although a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, she did not continue to ask. Since Xiao Ling insists that these collections have their own uses, let him go.
Anyway, for her, these trivial matters are just a waste of time, and they are actually no big deal.
As a World of Warcraft, she lacked deep sympathy for the behavior of these humans. Her death had nothing to do with her, and she was not someone close to her.
Therefore, she just accepted this fact indifferently, continued to enjoy the Narcissus Jade Muscle Fruit in her hands, and let Xiao Ling go about his collection.
In this devastated valley, Xiao Ling walked slowly, using the soul arresting technique that he had taken from the Soul Palace.
With a gentle wave of his hand, he absorbed all the souls in the barrier, as if it were an invisible net, capturing the souls floating in the air one by one.
These soul bodies are undoubtedly the best supplements for nourishing the Ten Thousand Soul Banners. At the same time, they can also create many powerful banner slaves for Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with a glimmer of satisfaction. This time he was indeed right. The harvest was so rich that he had never thought of it before, which made him feel secretly happy.
Looking back, even the previous operation to destroy Huangquan Valley was not half as rewarding as this time.
Although the Huangquan Pavilion is a huge force with a large number of people, the quality of the souls and bodies of its members is mediocre. The most outstanding one is only the Venerable Huangquan who has reached the Douzun level.
However, Xiao Ling's loot this time was extremely rich. Not only did he harvest four souls of the Soul Palace Dou Zun level, but they also included the soul of Venerable Mu Gu, an eighth-level alchemist, which is as precious as Called the best.
Those contestants who had previously fallen into the hands of those from the Soul Palace were all outstanding alchemists who had the ability to participate in this alchemy meeting. Each of them had alchemy skills no lower than the sixth level.
The people who are qualified to gather in Cao Ying's small circle are all the elites among the elites.
Therefore, the souls of these alchemists naturally have very excellent quality. The quality of each ray of soul is enough to be superimposed with several times, or even dozens of times, the souls of practitioners of the same level. What is its value? This is evident.
It is precisely because of this that the people in the Soul Palace are so keen on hunting down alchemists and seizing their souls. Because of this, the Soul Palace and Dan Pagoda have been in a hostile state for so many years.
After a period of busy work, Xiao Ling finally pocketed all the valuable things here. Naturally, he did not waste any more energy paying attention to those items that he regarded with disdain, leaving them scattered in place, gathering dust in the wind.
"Xiao Ling, where are we going next? Are we going to leave this alchemy world directly? Or are there other arrangements?" After eating the narcissus jade muscle fruit that she took out earlier, Zi Yan saw that Xiao Ling had packed it away, so she When he came to his side, he naturally took Xiao Ling's right hand and asked.
"There is no rush, there is still enough time, there are still several days until the end of this round of alchemy assessment. We don't have to rush to leave, after all, we are just waiting boringly..."
As Xiao Ling spoke, he gently picked up Zi Yan, smiled gently, and said.
I got a treasure by chance before, and I was planning to find a quiet place to absorb and refine it. I saw that the cave where Xiong Zhan was located was an excellent place. "
"Then let's set off quickly. That big stupid bear should still be guarding the entrance to the valley. Let's call him directly, and then return to the cave together. I promised that guy before that I would leave this alchemy world At that time, I also took him with me."
As Zi Yan spoke, she twisted slightly in Xiao Ling's arms, found a more comfortable position, and then nestled against Xiao Ling's chest.
"Also, I haven't had time to put away the precious medicinal materials in that square. I went back again, so I just took this opportunity to pack them up and take them away."
"Haha, that's true. Those medicinal materials can't just be left there."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling chuckled and did not stay any longer. He hugged Zi Yan tightly, and with a slight leap, he turned into a stream of light and flew out of the valley exit.
