Purgatory

Chapter 20
The calm and waveless black water pool attracted a lot of gazes, and several people were approaching quickly.

Pang Jian, who was underwater, only knew that when a "cicada wing sword" entered the water, he lost all spirituality and wonder.

He didn't know that when he dived into the water again to explore the wonders of the black water, Jinyang had his hand corroded by the pool water.

After taking a breath, Pang Jian still observed the "Cicada Wing Sword" hovering above his head, and continued to endure suffering, waiting for a miracle to happen, hoping to avoid this massacre from the ghost.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Pang Jian, who is quite good at water, can hold his breath for a long time. He can see the whistling "Cicada Wing Sword" appearing and haunting underwater.

Before he knew it, the open wound on his hand was no longer bleeding.

The shining luster released by the phoenix bone seems to be slowly shrinking, and the area that can be illuminated is getting smaller and smaller.

"Underwater, I don't know if I can practice the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Art..."

With this thought, beside the gradually dimming phoenix bone, he tried to get rid of many distracting thoughts in his mind.

He no longer wandered around the phoenix bone, let his body sink slowly, and quietly entered a state of meditation.

He was contemplating the spirit sea in Dantian, and suddenly noticed the reappearance of the slightly weird blue-black "spiritual pot", which naturally absorbed the nearby available power.

Gradually, he discovered that in the dark and cold pool, there was an extremely strange force that was rushing towards the "spiritual pot" in his dantian.

This power hidden in the black water has an obvious acidic property, which seems to be able to corrode all flesh and blood.

He was immediately taken aback.

Just when he was about to stop practicing the "Hutian Nourishing Qi Jue", he discovered that the first ray of acidic and poisonous power that escaped into the green and black "spiritual pot" was also removing the "cotton" dross and pollution in his spiritual sea.

Moreover, the speed and efficiency this time far surpassed the "Power of Mysterious Yin" in the gray-white rock.

There is nothing wrong with the small world in his spiritual sea because he has absorbed a wisp of sour and poisonous force.

"Can this also be absorbed? Can it wash away the filth in the spiritual sea?"

Pang Jian felt incredible, and secretly marveled at the magic of the "Hutian Nourishing Qi Jue", so he allowed his body to continue to sink, keeping the black and blue "Spiritual Pot" running.

He soon made a new discovery.

When he remained calm and concentrated, in the state of practicing the "Hu Tian Yang Qi Jue", his two arms, as well as the pores in his chest area, were able to absorb...air from the cold black water.

Only then did he realize that there is air in the water, but ordinary people cannot breathe through their mouths and noses.

Why is he all of a sudden?
Why, his absorption of air in the water is limited to his arms and chest?

He suddenly remembered that when he was attacked by the dark ghost monk, his arm was as strong as gold and iron, his strength suddenly soared, and the picture of countless phoenixes soaring among the bones in the dream.

With many distracting thoughts in his mind, the practice of "Hutian Yangqi Jue" was forced to stop, and he suddenly woke up.

He forced himself to calm down again, re-entered the state of meditation and concentration, and continued to practice the "Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Art", his body continued to sink.

……

"Jinyang!"

Outside the pool, the two dark ghost leaders were screaming strangely.

Watching Pang Jian slowly sinking into the bottom of the pool, a small piece of white light around the phoenix bone slowly receding, Jin Yang's originally handsome face was full of viciousness and mania.

He turned around abruptly.

The strange scene of a lifelike blood-colored phoenix dancing lightly on Ouyang Duanhai's chest immediately caught his eyes.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Patrolling the surface of the pool, those "Cicada Wing Swords" used to stare at Pang Jian were summoned back by Jin Yang like silver lightning, ready to deal with the aliens in front of them.

But he soon discovered that Ouyang Duanhai, who had lost his sanity and whose eyes were full of numbness, was not coming for him.

The few remaining "Cicada Wing Swords" have not yet reached the top of Jinyang's head. Ouyang Duanhai, who killed many dark ghost monks and absorbed the essence of their flesh and blood with blood-colored feathers, suddenly jumped high, and immediately jumped into the black hole with a "plop". pool.

Jin Yang, who was on guard, with only his bone left hand, was about to make a formula to activate the treasure, but found that Ouyang Duanhai ignored him at all.

Jin Yang was as dumb as a wooden chicken.

As for Ouyang Duanhai who entered the water, his body like a dry bone was suddenly covered by sticky blood.

He only appeared for a moment in the black water, but was completely submerged by the black water, and could no longer be seen.

"Not being corroded and ablated, he didn't ablate!"

Holding up his bloodless left hand, Jin Yang felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable, staring at the place where Ouyang Duanhai disappeared, he shouted hysterically: "A young man named Pang Jian, and this crazy alien, they have not been caught. The black water melts!"

At this time, the two dark ghost leaders who were in a hurry to rescue him finally came one after the other.

"Jinyang, your hand?"

The man with the golden mask screamed in horror when he saw his raised bone left hand: "I told you a long time ago, you shouldn't show up and participate in this matter! What should we do? How can we explain to the leader when we go back? "

What he was afraid of was the leader's blame. Thinking of the leader's cruel methods, he shuddered even before he returned.

"We have a method of raw meat."

Jin Yang took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and stopped wasting words on this matter, and said in a deep voice: "The black pool water is weird, and has a strange power to corrode flesh and blood. I accidentally said it."

"Not long ago, we obviously checked the water in the pond, and there is nothing unusual?" Another leader of the Tongmai Realm asked doubtfully.

"Before was before, now is now."

Jin Yang took a glove from the leader wearing a golden mask and put it on, baring his teeth and shouting: "Perhaps, we overlooked some details last time."

The leaders of the two dark ghosts in the Meridian Realm looked at the dark pool water, wondering if it was true.

"After the earth was split, nothing terrible came out. Those guys deceived us."

Leaving behind the leader of the giant silver net, watching his subordinates dragging the huge net, pulling Ning Yao all the way over, he said coldly: "It seems that I need to interrogate her."

"They didn't lie."

With a cold face, Jin Yang snorted and said: "There are some things that Zhang Heng didn't tell you, but he explained clearly to Hong Tai. The first phoenix bone they encountered before did indeed have terrifying vines coming out from the cracks in the ground. , Killed the members of the Shangguan family and devoured them."

"And the reason why I care about that Orion is because Zhang Heng told me that Blood Moon's Branded Eye chose him!"

Of course he knew the inside story that the two bosses didn't know, but he didn't intend to explain it to them.

"What's next?"

The two people who heard about this matter suddenly started to worry again when they went to look at the gully that was opened in the earth.

"Only practitioners in the marrow washing state can breathe underwater through the pores of their skin after they shed their mortal wombs. The kid named Pang Jian has been underwater for a long time, and I don't know if he sank to the bottom of the pool after death. ,still……"

Jin Yang frowned deeply, looked at the dark water with a gloomy face, and said, "Wait and see!"

The two had no choice but to wait obediently.

However, neither Pang Jian nor the insane Ouyang Duanhai emerged from the water.

"Han Duping has escaped!"

Outside the valley, a dark ghost cultivator suddenly shouted.

When the masked leader rushed to Heishuitan for fear of an accident in Jinyang, the defense there naturally relaxed a lot, and Han Duping was able to take the opportunity to escape.

"Don't worry about him, he's just a guy who knows how to survey the array, he's not that important."

Jin Yang stopped the pursuit of the two.

……

when they speak.

In the leaves of the ancient trees where Jin Yang had been hiding before, a hazy shadow of blood slowly appeared. She was hidden in the dense leaves, looking far away at the black water pool, as well as Jin Yang and others who were discussing.

No one noticed her presence.

"There are not only phoenix bones at the bottom of the pond. As far as I know, every drop of phoenix marrow needs a huge accumulation of flesh and blood to refine and form every drop of phoenix marrow." She murmured softly.

Having already arrived at the tragic battlefield, she was not in a hurry to go deep into the black water pool, because there was no suitable cover around the pool, and it was too convenient for her to hide.

"This drop of phoenix marrow is unusual, and I don't know what kind of foreign body it is through to gather enough surging flesh and blood energy."

……

Deep in the black pool.

Pang Jian, who was immersed in cultivation, allowed his body to sink slowly, focusing on absorbing the acidic and poisonous abilities in the cold pool water.

An indescribable sense of satisfaction gradually grew in his heart, and he felt a power that could be described as majestic!
The mighty energy was swallowed by the blue-black "spiritual pot" like a giant whale absorbing water, quickly washing away the dirty dross in his spiritual sea.

He absorbs the "power of profound yin" bit by bit, but in the pool of water at this moment, he seems to be wandering in the vast ocean of energy!

He didn't know that when he practiced "Hutian Nourishing Qi Art" in the pool, the water around him gradually became transparent.

When the acidic and poisonous power in the water was absorbed by him with the "spiritual pot", he was like a bright light source, purifying the darkness in the water.

After a long time, he felt his feet on the ground, so he opened his eyes underwater.

He was surprised to find that deep in the bottom of the pool where he was, the pool water was actually clear and translucent, no longer as dark as ink.

Lowering his head, he was the first to look at what he was stepping on, and saw an olive green scale.

His eyes wandered, and soon he saw some oval black spots, and continued to look... and found a thick python body!

Pang Jian paled in shock.

He has been hunting in the Cenji Mountains for many years, and he has seen countless pythons, but he has never seen a python so big!

That dark ghost leader Hong Tai rode a python with black and white patterns, compared to the giant python at the bottom of the pool, it was simply a small earthworm.

This giant boa constrictor is currently wrapped around the phoenix bone pierced into the bottom of the pool, and seems to want to twist or push down the phoenix bone.

The skin and flesh of its snake tail had long since disappeared, only the spine-like huge snake bones remained, slapping the ground at the bottom of the pool feebly.

When the snake bone slapped the ground under the water, it seemed powerless, but it still caused an earthquake at the bottom of the pool.

It was it that slapped the ground with its winding snake tail that caused the big earthquake around the black water pool, and it was also because of its crazy struggle that the outer land became numerous with gullies.

Looking directly below from Pang Jian's point of view, he could only see its snake body coiled around the phoenix bone, and with the snake bone without skin and flesh, it was afraid of hitting the rocky ground at the bottom of the pond.

Pang Jian, who was shocked by it, got away from the phoenix bone in a trance, and moved to the side to look again.

Immediately, Pang Jian saw the head of a huge boa constrictor, with its jaws touching the bottom of the pool.

A huge and sharp phoenix bone, like a spear holding the sky, pierced through the python's head and nailed it to the bottom of the pool.

Its huge head can't move, no matter how it twists the snake tail, it can't get rid of the assassination of the phoenix bone.

In a trance, Pang Jian seemed to see a huge phoenix bone falling from the sky. When the stab fell into the black water pool, he stabbed a giant python entrenched at the bottom of the pool along its head on the spot.
