Chapter 483
The power of thunder and lightning hit the beast king's body, and the beast king roared in pain. The fur on its body was scorched by thunder and lightning, and black marks appeared. But the beast king was a powerful existence after all, and it quickly adjusted its state and began to fight back. It rushed towards the sword formation with great power, trying to break through the sword formation with its body.
Fu Shaoping looked at the beast king's counterattack and was very nervous. He knew that the Taiyi sword formation alone might not be able to defeat the beast king. He began to think of other ways to deal with it. He thought of the flying demon body protection. This is a spell that can enhance one's own defense and improve attack capabilities.
Fu Shaoping concentrated again, he put his hands together above his head, and chanted a spell: "The power of flying, the power of demons. Bless me, invincible." As the spell was chanted, a layer of faint golden light appeared around his body. This layer of golden light gradually formed a golden armor, which was engraved with runes of demons. At the same time, he felt that his strength had been enhanced and his physical fatigue was also reduced a lot.
Holding the Star Scimitar, he rushed towards the Beast King again. At this time, under the cover of the Taiyi Sword Formation, he fought a more intense battle with the Beast King. Fu Shaoping's attack became more fierce, and the Star Scimitar was wielded in his hand. The Beast King was not to be outdone, and every attack of it was full of power.
During the battle, Fu Shaoping found that although the Beast King's defense was strong, its eyes seemed to be a weakness. He had a bold idea in his mind. While dodging the Beast King's attack, he quietly adjusted the attack direction of the Taiyi Sword Formation.
Fu Shaoping was very nervous, and he knew that this was a life-and-death battle. He also injected his soul power into the Taiyi Sword Formation, and the power of the sword formation increased instantly. Twelve Thunder Swords simultaneously emitted a huge thunderbolt, which gathered the power of all the swords and slashed towards the Beast King's eyes.
The Beast King widened his eyes, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The thunderbolt hit the Beast King's eyes, and he let out a painful scream. Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to swing the Star Scimitar and stabbed at the injured eye of the Beast King.
At this moment, the Beast King suddenly burst out with a powerful force, which knocked Fu Shaoping out again. Fu Shaoping's body hit a boulder, and the boulder was smashed to pieces. He felt that his body had reached its limit, but he still didn't want to give up.
He took out the natal spirit seal from the storage space. This is his life-saving magic weapon and one of his most powerful spells. The natal spirit seal was refined by him with his own blood and blood, and it is connected to his soul. Fu Shaoping knew that once he used this spell, he would pay a huge price, but he had no other choice.
Fu Shaoping held the natal spirit seal in both hands and chanted the last spell in his mouth: "The power of the natal spirit, the spirit talisman is powerful." The natal spirit seal began to emit a strong light, and various mysterious runes appeared in the light. These runes revolved around Fu Shaoping, forming a huge rune shield.
At the same time, the power of the natal spirit seal also began to affect the surrounding environment. The yellow sand was rolled up by the power of the rune, forming huge sand pillars. The sand pillars swept towards the beast king, and the beast king struggled in the sand pillars.
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and released all the power of his natal spirit seal. He rushed towards the beast king, and the star scimitar in his hand flashed again. He and the beast king started a final showdown.
Under the powerful power of the natal spirit seal, the beast king finally began to lose. Its body was constantly eroded by the power of the rune, and its power was gradually weakening. Fu Shaoping seized this opportunity and stabbed the beast king's heart with the star scimitar.
The beast king let out a last scream, and then his huge body fell down. As the beast king fell, the sand beasts began to flee in all directions. Fu Shaoping looked at the beast king lying on the ground, and his heart was full of fatigue and relief.
Fu Shaoping looked at the beast king's huge body falling to the ground, and the tension in his heart slowly dissipated, followed by extreme fatigue. But he knew that it was not time to rest yet, and he had to collect the monster materials as soon as possible.
He forced himself to walk towards the beast king's body. First, he cast his eyes on the beast king's hard skin. Although part of the skin was burnt by lightning, most of it was still very tough and was an excellent material for making defensive magic weapons or armor. He carefully used the Star Scimitar to cut the skin along the beast king's body. Each cut required a lot of effort. After all, this was a beast king with the cultivation of the spirit, and the toughness of its skin was far beyond that of ordinary monsters.
Then, he noticed the beast king's claws. The huge and sharp claws flashed with cold light. Fu Shaoping knew that the claws could be made into offensive magic weapons, such as sharp blades or hidden weapons. He broke the claws off the beast king's limbs and put them into his storage space.
Although the beast king's eyes were struck by lightning and stabbed by him, the eyeballs still emitted a strange light. Fu Shaoping speculated that the eyeballs might contain special power, and perhaps could be used to refine some special pills or magic weapons. He carefully dug out the eyeball, wrapped it with a special piece of cloth, and put it into the storage space.
Then there was the inner elixir of the beast king. The inner elixir was the core of the power of the monster beast. Fu Shaoping circulated the remaining spiritual power in his body, groped in the abdomen of the beast king, and finally found the inner elixir that emitted powerful power fluctuations. He carefully took out the inner elixir. As soon as the inner elixir left the body of the beast king, the surrounding air seemed to become hot. Fu Shaoping did not dare to be careless. He quickly wrapped the inner elixir with spiritual power, put it in a small box specially used to store precious items, and then put it into the storage space.
After processing the materials of the beast king, Fu Shaoping looked at some small objects left by the fleeing sand beasts around. He collected some fangs and scales of sand beasts. Although these materials are not as precious as those of the beast king, they can be used in small amounts.
When he packed up all the materials of the monster beasts that could be collected, Fu Shaoping could no longer hold on. He found a relatively safe place to sit down and began to adjust his state.
After Fu Shaoping packed up the materials of the monster beasts, he took a short rest and embarked on the return journey. However, not long after he set off, a strange scene appeared in front of him. A ghost town loomed in the fog ahead.
The walls of the ghost town were tall and gloomy, and the walls exuded a cold atmosphere, as if they were built with the resentment of countless wronged souls. The city gate was wide open, like the big mouth of a giant beast, ready to swallow intruders at any time. Fu Shaoping felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, but his curiosity was also aroused. He thought that there might be some treasures or opportunities hidden in this ghost town, or perhaps some secrets related to this area.
He slowly approached the ghost town, and he could feel the temperature around him dropping with every step. When he walked to the gate of the city, a gust of cold wind blew, and the wind seemed to be mixed with the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. He clenched the star scimitar in his hand and blessed himself with a layer of flying demon protection spell. The faint golden light seemed a little weak in this gloomy environment, but it also brought him some courage.
Walking into the ghost town, the streets were filled with thick fog, and the houses on both sides were dilapidated, and some had even collapsed halfway. Fu Shaoping saw some vague figures shuttling in the fog, and he knew that these might be the ghosts in the ghost town. Suddenly, a female ghost appeared in front of him. Her face was pale, her hair was messy, and there were tears of blood in her eyes.
The female ghost made a sharp cry and pounced on Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping dodged sideways, then swung the star scimitar at the female ghost. The scimitar passed through the ghost girl's body, but did not cause any substantial damage to her. Fu Shaoping was shocked, and he realized that ordinary attacks might not work on these ghosts. He began to think about how to deal with it, and remembered that he had read in an ancient book that ghosts were afraid of yang energy and some special runes.
So he took out a piece of talisman paper from the storage space, chanted a spell to exorcise ghosts, and then threw the talisman paper at the ghost girl. After the talisman paper touched the ghost girl, she screamed in pain and her body began to dissipate. Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that this was just a small threat in the ghost town, and he might encounter more powerful ghosts or unknown dangers next.
He continued to go deeper into the ghost town and found a magnificent building at the end of the street. The building exuded a stronger yin energy. Fu Shaoping guessed that it might be the core of the ghost town, perhaps hiding the secrets of the ghost town or a powerful treasure. But he also understood that the closer he got to there, the greater the danger. He took a deep breath and walked towards the building firmly.
Fu Shaoping walked slowly towards the building that exuded a strong yin energy, and every step seemed to step into an unknown abyss. When he stepped into the door of the building, a strong yin energy rushed towards him. He felt like he was being held tightly by an invisible big hand, and his body became a little heavy.
As soon as he entered, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He found himself in a bustling market, with people coming and going around him, laughing and talking. Fu Shaoping was shocked. He knew it was an illusion, but it was so realistic. He saw street vendors selling all kinds of strange things, including beads emitting colorful light and musical instruments that could play music automatically.
He walked vigilantly, and suddenly a little girl ran in front of him. The little girl had two pigtails and clear and bright eyes. She pulled the corner of Fu Shaoping's clothes and said, "Big brother, can you help me find my mother?" Fu Shaoping's heart moved, and he was almost confused by the pitiful appearance of the little girl, but he knew that this was an illusion of the ghost town and could not be deceived by it. He gently pushed the little girl's hand away and said, "This is not the real world, don't try to confuse me."
The little girl's expression instantly became ferocious after hearing his words, and her body began to twist and deform. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a green-faced and fanged evil ghost, rushing towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping was prepared. He quickly recited the spell, and the star scimitar in his hand emitted a golden light and chopped at the evil ghost. The evil ghost was hit by the scimitar, let out a scream, and then disappeared.
However, the illusion did not disappear. Fu Shaoping found himself on a battlefield, with shouts and killings all around. He saw the soldiers fighting bravely, and the blood dyed the earth red. Suddenly, he saw one of his friends appear on the battlefield. His friend was covered in blood and shouted at him: "Shaoping, save me!" Fu Shaoping's heart tightened. His friend had disappeared a few years ago. Could he still be alive? But he immediately woke up. This was just an illusion of the ghost town. He gritted his teeth and ignored his friend's shouts, but concentrated on finding a way to break the illusion.
He remembered that he had read in the ancient books of his master that ghost town illusions were mostly caused by Yin Qi and the resentment of wronged souls. To break the illusion, he needed to find the source of Yin Qi or use powerful spiritual power to attack. So, he closed his eyes and calmed down to feel the spiritual power fluctuations around him. He found that there was a strong Yin Qi fluctuation deep in the building, which should be the key to the illusion.
Fu Shaoping walked towards the direction of the Yin Qi fluctuations, and the illusions kept changing along the way. Sometimes he was in a sea of fire, and sometimes at the bottom of a cold lake. But he remained unmoved and moved forward firmly towards his goal. When he finally reached the deepest part of the building, he saw a huge black crystal ball suspended in the air, and Yin Qi continued to flow out of the crystal ball. It was these Yin Qi that created the illusion outside.
Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, and he gathered all his remaining spiritual power on the Star Scimitar, which emitted a dazzling light. He shouted and chopped at the black crystal ball. The crystal ball was attacked and emitted a strong vibration, and the illusions around it began to shake violently. Fu Shaoping continued to increase the output of spiritual power, and the scimitar chopped on the crystal ball again and again. Finally, the crystal ball could not withstand the attack, and it shattered with a "boom", and the illusions around it disappeared.
After breaking the illusion, Fu Shaoping looked around vigilantly. At this moment, a ruined hall came into view.
The hall must have been extremely magnificent. From the remaining huge stone pillars and the wide platform, one can imagine its former glory. However, now, most of the stone pillars have broken and collapsed, the platform is full of cracks, and the roof of the hall no longer exists. Only some ruins are left, swaying in the cold wind.
Fu Shaoping slowly approached the hall and could feel the ancient and mysterious atmosphere emanating from the hall. This atmosphere was mixed with a trace of yin energy, which was stronger than what he had encountered before. He stepped carefully onto the steps covered with moss and gravel. With every step, he could hear a slight creaking sound under his feet, as if the ruins were telling of its past vicissitudes and misfortunes.
When he walked into the hall, he found that it was filled with thicker fog and his vision became very blurred. He could only vaguely see a huge stone platform in the center of the hall, and something seemed to be flickering a faint light on the stone platform. Fu Shaoping was curious and wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but he was worried that this was another trap set by the ghost town.
