Purgatory

Chapter 70 Dark Invasion!

Silent street.

A group of five people flashed quickly and headed straight for the center of the city, fearing that they would be overwhelmed by the ever-spreading darkness behind them.

"Pause!"

Suddenly, Pang Jian gave a soft drink, and the rushing figure stopped.

Zhou Qingchen and the others kept a short distance from him, and when they saw him stop, they all restrained themselves.

Pang Jian, carrying a dragon-patterned spear, walked to a corner of a house with a dignified expression, and looked at a corpse in a pitch-black robe with a red mountain symbol on its chest.

The black clothes, with the Red Mountain logo on the chest, are exactly the common attire of the Red Mountain cultivators in the Upper Realm.

"We are from Hongshan!"

After Zhou Qingchen approached, he said with a cold face: "They were killed, and the corpses were abandoned in a corner. The other party should still be planning to continue killing, lest their conspicuous corpses alarm the latecomers, so they dealt with it hastily. "

"There are a few more here, all from your Hongshan people."

Han Duping also saw several corpses in the other corner, also wearing Hongshan's clothes.

He was a little surprised, and said strangely: "Pang Jian, when we are moving fast, why do you still have time to look around the corners?"

"Habit."

Pang Jian responded indifferently.

The most important quality of an excellent hunter is to be good at observation and pay attention to every detail.

He has been hunting in the Cenji Mountains for many years, and observing the environment has long become a deep-rooted instinct, and he will naturally examine every boundary he passes.

He had been keeping an eye on both sides of the street while the others were watching the movement ahead during the previous march.

In some corners of the stone building, there were not only Hongshan's group of corpses piled up, he saw many corpses along the way.

It is not difficult to imagine that before they entered Bagua City, several bloody battles broke out on this street.

Not all winners will carefully clean up the battlefield and wipe away the blood.

Most people simply deal with it, dragging the corpse from the street to the corner and placing it at will, as long as it is not so conspicuous and will not be seen immediately by the latecomers.

"The bodies are disappearing little by little."

Pang Jian lightly reminded him again.

This is what really caught his attention and made everyone stop and observe carefully.

Everyone turned pale in shock, and immediately fixed their eyes on the corpses of the Hongshan monks in front of them. Sure enough, they saw those corpses slowly melting into the stone floor at a slow speed.

Like water slowly melting into the sea.

The land of Bagua City seemed to have suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty beast, slowly devouring the corpses in the city.

"As I said before, the souls of Jian Yaoyang and others who were killed by us quickly disappeared underground the moment they died."

Luo Hongyan frowned, squatting down gently with a graceful posture.

Looking at the disappearing corpse, she found that not only the flesh and blood, but also the clothes and hair of the corpse were also disappearing.

Her brows were full of surprise, and she murmured: "First the soul, then the flesh and blood. This ancient city that has disappeared for 3000 years doesn't feel so simple."

The phoenix bone that fell into the Cenji Mountains just nailed the target and took the essence of its flesh and blood.

The dark giant anaconda in the black water pool, the mysterious turtle in Wulan lake, and the beast souls all survived without being sucked by the phoenix bone.

She came to the phoenix bone and was able to refine Luo Meng and Hong Tai into "spiritual demons", which also proved that the phoenix bone has no requirement for the soul.

But this gossip city didn't even spare the soul, which made her palpitate and uneasy.

"As soon as the rare treasure in the city center is born, the filth of the outside world will be eroded by the darkness. This city seems to guide or force everyone to the city center." Han Duping said with a serious face.

"There are really rare treasures in the center of the city, and eight streets gathered in a short period of time. Practitioners from all worlds..."

Zhou Qingchen took a breath and shouted, "Perhaps, we shouldn't be so eager! In the center of the city right now, if I'm not wrong, there will be rivers of blood!"

Su Meng shrank back to the corner, and said in horror: "Then what should we do?"

Behind them was the endless darkness that continued to spread, forcing them to move closer to the center of the city, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by the filthy darkness of the Fifth Realm.

The mirror tunnel is in the center of the city, and the treasures are also revealed in it. It is bound to become the cruelest battlefield.

Moving forward, we must face the baptism of the bloody battlefield.

In the future, it will fall into endless darkness.

It is not a good choice to advance or retreat.

"The darkness is spreading, and it won't overwhelm us so quickly."

Pang Jian looked behind, thought for a while, and seriously suggested: "If we can suppress the burning desire for the rare treasure in the city center, we can slow down our pace. Moving forward is our only way out. If we are not for the rare treasure, we will slow down It doesn't matter at all."

He looked at the crowd.

"Then slow down!"

Su Meng was the first to speak.

Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Luo Hongyan, who was most eager to enter the center of the city, quickly calmed down as the corpse slowly disappeared, and agreed: "Then slow down."

……

Bagua City, in the tallest tower.

Li Jie, who was drinking green juice, narrowed his eyes slightly, and had a panoramic view of the eight streets.

On every street, every person who appeared could not escape his gaze at this moment.

On one of the streets, he saw a young girl in white walking slowly along the corner of the street alone.

Ten feet behind the girl in white, there is a dark tide that slowly erodes and belongs to the fifth realm.

The girl seemed to be aware of the influx of the dark tide, so she would not rush at a sudden speed. She kept a constant distance from the dark tide, and moved forward without haste.

In front of her, in the Baizhang street, there was no other person moving.

"A very smart fellow."

Li Jie muttered, looked around, and saw Pang Jian and five people.

"what!"

He was a little surprised.

When the beam of light in the center of the city just soared into the sky, Pang Jian and others, like the rest of the people in that block, immediately ran towards the center of the city, wanting to reach their destination as soon as possible.

At that time, Li Jie silently withdrew his gaze and did not continue to look down.

Unexpectedly, this small team with a small number of people and a low level of cultivation could actually stop in the middle of the journey, and began to hurry on their way in a leisurely manner.

"Did I restrain my inner greed, or did I discover something?"

Li Jie murmured strangely.

While saying this, he looked around again, Dong Tianze and others who were about to arrive in the center of the city, Dong Tianze was also the object of his focus, he wanted to see Dong Tianze's performance.

"He's a ruthless person."

After a while, Li Jie nodded slowly and made a sincere evaluation.

As soon as Dong Tianze rushed out of the street, he immediately joined the tragic battlefield, fighting bloody battles in the central square full of corpses, and there was no living person beside him in the blink of an eye.

The members of the Yinling Temple who came with him saw that he had become the center of attention before they had time to make a move.

Li Jie suddenly became alert, turned his head suddenly, and looked at another street.

Not far from the city gate, in a land submerged in the darkness of the Fifth Realm, there are signs of living creatures!

"Is it someone who practiced in a stone building before, didn't notice the appearance of the strange treasure, didn't know that the darkness was submerged, and was trapped in it? Or...someone took the initiative to expose himself to the darkness?"

Li Jie's face became serious.

If it's the former, it's because someone was accidentally drowned in the darkness, so it's not a big problem.

But if there is someone who takes the initiative to enter the darkness, such a person will definitely become his trouble.

Next.

That area became the focus of Li Jie's observation, and his eyes swept over that area frequently to avoid uncontrollable changes.

"God, this is the first trial my family has arranged for me, please don't make any mistakes."

Li Jie put his palms together and prayed for God's blessing.

……

"Hey!"

A little crimson flame suddenly shines from the tip of the dragon-patterned spear.

Pang Jian, who slowed down his pace, had time to figure out how the "Earth Flame Jue" exerted its power. He poured the flame power into the spear shaft, and through the array amplification in it, he made a little crimson fire.

At that moment, the shaft of the Dragon Mark Spear turned red, and when he stabbed with the spear, the entire Dragon Mark Spear was like a flaming meteor.

"Pang Jian, the dragon-like spear I gave you won't last long."

Zhou Qingchen glanced at it, and said helplessly, "The shaft of the dragon pattern spear is made of dragon pattern wood. Even if a solid spiritual formation is engraved on the wooden spear shaft, it will be difficult to carry the power of the earth flame for a long time."

"Well, the Earth Flame Jue you are practicing now is not compatible with the Dragon Mark Spear. As your flame power increases, you will eventually need a new spear. The shaft of the spear must be made of fine gold. Only Only pure gold can perfectly carry the power of Earth Flame." Luo Hongyan on the side also nodded, frowned and thought, and said:
"We don't have such artifacts in our hands yet. But you don't have to worry, I just saw a long gun in the beam of light, which is a gun shaft made of some kind of rare fine gold."

Pang Jian's eyes lit up.

He also noticed that if he only used spiritual power to pierce through the Dragon Mark Spear, there would be no problem.

When spiritual power and flame power are mixed and flow together on the spear shaft, the conduction efficiency becomes a bit slower.

The spirit array inside the spear didn't seem to be well compatible with his newly refined flame power.

Hearing that there is a long spear suitable for him in the strange beam of light in the city, Pang Jian also became hopeful.
