I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Dark void, vast and boundless.

The secret realm with a radius of hundreds of miles is suspended in this darkness. The fetal membrane of the secret realm is like a layer of tough bubbles, hazy, transparent and faint, covering the mountains and rivers inside.

On the west side of the secret realm, four gluttonous ferocious beasts made of bronze were running wildly in the void, pulling in a large amount of void energy to form a dark vortex.

The arm, whose entire body was made of brass, protruded from the dark whirlpool and clasped onto the secret realm.

When a ray of divine light in the secret realm pierced the palm of the Dahuang Bronze Hand, delaying the opportunity for Zhang Yannian to arrive in time, the owner of the Bronze Hand also let out a cold snort.

For many years, the Lord of the Bronze Hand has been searching for a fragment of a divine artifact. Every once in a while, he will secretly practice mystical skills and divine secrets.

In the past years, he always got nothing, but in the past two years, he suddenly caught some clues.

It turns out that it is not easy to deduce that the divine object has concealed itself, and the mountain top where the fragment is located happened to be transported by the Youshen Xuekui to his secret realm of the void, further blocking out the prying eyes of the outside world.

When the true form of the Nether God Xue Kui was defeated and the Void Secret Realm was knocked out of hiding, a series of violent fluctuations made the artifact fragments look a little strange and clues were revealed.

In order to obtain this fragment, the Lord of the Bronze Hand rushed back to the Middle-earth, contacted the Northern Wilderness under a different name, and worked through a lot of mediation to create today's situation.

As long as he succeeded in dragging the secret realm away with one move, the strong men of the Northern Wilderness would also come to the realm, leaving Zhang Yannian and others distracted and unable to sense their specific whereabouts.

But he didn't expect that when he grabbed him with one hand, the old beggar was already prepared. He spent his essence and blood and used remote sensing to take action, which delayed a little time and ruined his good plan.

The green cloud enveloped the entire secret realm, roaring and flowing, hitting the bronze hand of the wilderness.

But the Great Desolate Bronze Hand still clung to the secret realm, and there were countless chaotic and orderly cracks on the surface of the Bronze Hand.

It was not a sign of being cracked by a blow, but because the copper watch layer was originally composed of countless precision parts, but the splicing was so perfect that no gaps could be seen.

Now that the gap is created, all the surface components immediately crack and return to their original shape, turning into swords, guns, swords and halberds, crossbows and chariots, steel teeth and tusks, copper furnaces and iron armor, and countless strange weapons and mechanisms.

If compared with the entire secret realm, each of these weapons produced by disintegration is as small as dust.

However, when these countless yellow-brown dust dispersed lightly from the copper hands, they immediately tore apart a large amount of cyan clouds. With ten swings and ten moves, they used the point of breaking the surface to push back the cyan clouds that occupied most of the secret realm. .

"The ultimate flying knife, Huolin Academy! You haven't opened up the Void Secret Realm yet, and you dare to interfere in our affairs?"

"I heard that you competed with the Tianming Sect for secrets. You lost three times and suffered backlash. Everyone died. It seems that even if there is one more person who survives the disaster, you will still overestimate your capabilities!!"

The voice of the Lord of the Bronze Hands rumbled, as if a whole city made of copper and iron was angry and making noises.

This sound penetrated the void and turned into an invisible force. It came to the old beggar, wrapped around him and crushed him.

But another voice also sounded at the same time, canceling out this power.

"Referring to the Wuji Gate that steps on the sky and the earth, Emperor Xuan made armor and called it the God of Desolation."

Zhang Yannian's voice was rich and deep, and there was no trace of emotion or anger. "The Gate of Wuji and the method of traveling through the void. The intensity of your practice is quite commendable."

"However, you have only created one arm, the Xuandi Huangshen who swept across all the wastelands in the Secret Code of Buzhou Palace, how dare you be so wild?"

The owner of the Bronze Hand smiled and said: "If you are the complete Xuandi Huangshen, do you still have a chance to attack me? Just this one hand is enough to measure the quality of a junior like you!"

The old beggar under the wall wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the sky that was divided into light and darkness, and listened to the fight between the two powerful men in the void.

"Although it was just a battle of wills with the Destiny Sect at the beginning, after the fight, what we calculated has exceeded the Destiny Sect's estimate, which led to the killing move."

"After the bloody battle, we also made it impossible for the senior leaders of the Destiny Sect to calculate the fortunes and misfortunes in the next few years. Otherwise, how could they be wiped out so easily?"

The old beggar smiled instead of being angry, and knocked the bamboo stick, and the sound slowly spread into the void.

"This Taoist brother from Buzhou Palace, although you are powerful, haven't you still been tricked by me? I am curious, what is there in a dilapidated and shrunken secret realm that is worthy of your war?"

"If there are any treasures inside, and what treasures there are, I can't calculate them at all, Zhang Yannian can't feel them, but you can figure them out from across the sea?"

No more sound came from the Great Wilderness Bronze Hand, but at the base of the arm, the four bronze gluttonous ferocious beasts were running significantly faster.

The vitality of the void surged and was swallowed up. In an instant, it was formed into more crystal weapons and exploded out.

The two powerful men increased their power at the same time, but they were still in a stalemate, and it was difficult to separate.

They are all trying to avoid putting too much pressure on the secret realm. One is worried about the guests of the divine power banquet in the secret realm, and the other is afraid that after the secret realm explodes, the void turbulence will sweep up the fragments of the divine objects and disappear.

………………

At this moment, inside the secret realm.

Everyone did not know that the fighting situation outside had become more intense. Instead, they felt that the entire secret realm had become calmer.

It even seemed to be more stable than when they first entered the secret realm.

The sky is a distant blue, very light, and the light that radiates down is like real sunlight, restoring the mountains, rivers and land to their true colors.

The original cracks and palm prints on the sky have been covered by this light blue light and cannot be seen.

However, if someone stares at the sky for a while, they will vaguely feel that in the blue sky, there are large pieces of sage articles and transparent seal characters, slowly undulating.

Su Hanshan waited quietly outside the cave. After a long time, no one came to take them out.

He looked down at his Tai Chi mark and took out the Shaoyang Lihuo Crystal with his right hand.

His experience of being shot by a poisonous needle proved that the Tai Chi mark would not cause him any unique reaction when he encountered life-threatening situations.

If something big happens next in this secret realm, you can only rely on yourself.

Su Hanshan no longer cares about retaining any more Gangsha crystals. For the current plan, he must absorb as much vitality as possible. The more strength he has, the more chance of survival he will have.

Shaoyang Lihuo Crystal has the best quality and is very close to the properties of Pure Yang Gong.

Su Hanshan clasped his hands together and squeezed the crystal, causing the fist-sized crimson lotus bud to dissolve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Thick and pure red vitality followed the meridians of his hands and entered his body, immediately causing pain like burning coals.

Su Hanshan looked at the mountains and rivers ahead, motionless, but clenched his teeth tightly, and the lines of his cheeks were tense, allowing a large amount of sweat to fall from his face.

The essence of Shaoyang Lihuo, which has been harmonized by his skill, is directly guided to the back of the neck to help temper the seven bones of the cervical spine.

Sweat soon soaked all his clothes, but when the heat climbed to a certain level, no sweat was visible, only thick white smoke.

Even the nearby green grass was turning yellow, curling, and smoking, and the thick white mist obscured his entire figure.

………………

Forty miles away, at the boundary of the secret fetal membrane, there was a sudden tremor.

Four bronze Taotie Tokens emerged, spinning in mid-air, their afterimages overlapping each other, and soon forming an ancient bronze-colored aperture. The inside of the aperture became dark and unpredictable.

Dozens of figures flew out from it one after another and scattered in all directions, making the rocks on the ground make a dull collision sound.

Most of these dozens of figures are machine puppets.

Even if the puppets of Shengmian City are not damaged in the battle, they still need to be warmed up regularly. They need to enter the formation secret place to replenish the essence of heaven and earth. They also need regular instructions from people to be able to patrol and arrest for a long time. category positions.

And if you leave the city, human instructions need to be limited to a certain distance in order to be conveyed to the machine puppets. Moreover, the number of machine puppets that a single person can command is also very limited, and the energy consumption is difficult to accurately control and repair. It’s also tough. Therefore, in the Chu Dynasty, apart from the big border cities, there are very few traces of puppets.

However, the secret art of the Buzhou Palace in the West is said to be the best in the world. It is even more advanced and extensive than the art of puppets mastered by the Great Chu Dynasty.

In the three continents of Xiji, any disciple who is not a disciple of Zhou Palace will be equipped with a puppet. This means that as long as you get started, you will get a loyal, fearless, rigorous, and tight-lipped personal guard.

The details of these puppets are different, but the overall shapes are quite similar. For example, they are all black, with gluttonous relief animal patterns on their chests, and a jewel inlaid in the middle of their chests.

Compared with the machine puppets in Shengmian City, this black puppet has a more well-proportioned body and its limbs are more slender.

The tops of their heads are specially carved into the shape of upright buns, and their facial features are also carefully carved, with black and blue patterns that look like wood but not wood, and look like iron but not iron.

When his hands were hanging down, the knuckles of his ten fingers were in the shape of golden beads. The rare bright color on his body added a bit of nobility amidst the coldness.

"What kind of treasure is it that actually makes Master sneak back to Middle-earth and snatch it himself?"

Among the disciples of Buzhou Palace, a woman with cool red lips, wearing an armor skirt and iron boots, looked around and said, "Since ancient times, where there are treasures, there must be evil beasts to guard them. We are sent out to hunt for treasures this time. I don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a curse?”

A strong man with tattoos on his face next to him said decisively: "Nature is a blessing. This secret realm is broken and refined. Now it is still affected by the Everlasting Blue Blood Curse and oppressed by two external divine powers."

"Anyone beyond the ladder, whether human, beast, or puppet, will be triggered by the turbulent flow of the void and be swept away directly."

"That is to say, there won't be anyone here who has a realm higher than ours, so what's there to be afraid of? On the contrary, if we find the treasure that even Master longs for and successfully brings it back, what kind of credit will it be?!"

He grinned, and the tattoo on his face just swelled, "I, Shen Tuzi, have long wanted to meet the young warriors from China."

"Taichang, you are interested in the specialties and insights of each of us, and you must not let go of the warriors of Middle-earth!"

Taichang was the young man closest to Taotie's aperture. His eyes were high and his expression was cold. He only glanced at Shen Tuzi and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet him."

Another man with long hair disheveled and covering his right eye also looked at the compass in his hand and nodded: "It is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the compass our master gave us seems to have different sensing directions?"

Everyone compared the palm-sized compasses, and sure enough they found that the compass pointed to six different directions.

They are not ordinary new disciples. This time, they are the master who opened up the Void Secret Realm and are directly assigned to do things, so everyone has five machine puppets around them.

In fact, there are only six people and thirty puppets, but six directions have been given.

"Maybe these six directions are because there are only six of us. If one of the directions has been searched and nothing is found, the seventh direction may appear."

Taichang analyzed two sentences and said, "It's difficult to judge the situation outside. We can't delay and set off immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took his five puppets and walked away without caring about other people's reactions.

The other five disciples looked at each other and said nothing nonsense. They each took a position and spread out.

As Shentuzi rushed to the direction shown on his compass, he passed by a valley and heard a strange roar in the valley.

His heart moved slightly. He turned around and saw two figures in the valley, both looking at the sky.

Next to the two figures, there was a purple cloud of several feet in size tumbling, and the strange whistling sound was caused by the purple gas.

It turned out to be Sha Dongmen, the grandson of the high priest of Fei Yiwang, and Mr. Wei from the Daijun family.

The two of them discovered a ball of true energy crystals almost at the same time. They were about to fight for it, but they encountered a huge change in the secret realm. The general's jade pendant was broken, the big brass hand, a ray of divine light and other changes. It was really dizzying and worrying. Unable to control myself.

So now, they are still watching the sky and have no intention of removing the crystal.

"Zhen Gang Crystal?"

Shen Tuzi was assigned by his master to hunt for treasures, but he didn't know yet that there were many Gangsha crystals in this secret realm. When he saw them, he was overjoyed.

This was definitely not the treasure that the master was looking for, but for him, Shen Tuzi, it was an unexpected surprise.

Sha Dongmen and Mr. Wei noticed that another outsider had arrived, and then they came to their senses and saw the person clearly, their expressions changed slightly.

Based on the memories of ladder masters, the more than fifty people who entered the secret realm at the Shenwei Banquet all looked familiar to each other and would never admit their mistakes.

This Shen Tuzi was not one of the guests. The five black-armored puppets behind him were definitely not the puppets of Shengmian City.

Thinking of the big brass hand just now, Sha and Wei didn't even think of following the incoming man to test it out. Without thinking, they used Qinggong to retreat.

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as the two figures moved, they heard a burst of wild laughter and surrounded them from all directions.

The one person and five puppets who were originally at the entrance of the valley actually dispersed to different directions in an instant, surrounding the two of them.

Mr. Wei split his sword in two, holding the sword in both hands, and danced into a big ball of silver light, covering his whole body without any holes.

This sword energy and sword light are also extremely resilient. If hit by a huge force, it can fly quickly and escape from the encirclement.

However, the two puppets attacking him exerted extremely precise force, one on the left and the other on the right. Their strength was completely opposite, and they were extremely heavy. They sandwiched his smooth and flexible sword-light ball in the middle and smashed it to pieces in one fell swoop.

The third puppet kicked him in the chest.

A protective magic weapon on Mr. Wei's body shattered with a sudden sound, and he felt like he was facing three masters who were close to the true form at the same time.

But in an instant, he noticed the difference. It was not that the three puppets themselves had real combat power, but that there was a formation resonance between the one person and the five puppets, which pulled the essence of heaven and earth.

When using the formation, different words will appear on the pearls on the chests of these puppets.

"Tiger, leopard, dog..."

Young Master Wei slashed out with both swords and shouted angrily, "Buzhou Palace!"

Although the Six Tao Formation has been spread in the Middle Earth, it is extremely incomplete and only uses the sea of ​​​​qi to clamp down on the ladder to heaven.

Even if I search all over China, I can't find a few copies of the Six Tao Formation that allows six Heavenly Ladder masters to control the True Form Realm.

And to be able to allow such innocent things as machine puppets to participate in the formation, only Xiji Buzhou Palace has such an ability.

However, this formation attracts the essence of heaven and earth. In fact, only one of them can have the true blessing at the same time.

It seems that they all attack at the same time, and they all have true blessings. In fact, it is just because the power of this blessing transfers very quickly. If you can seize the gap in the transfer of blessing power and kill one of them first, the formation will naturally be broken.

Unfortunately, when Mr. Wei thought of this, he was already injured, his movements were slow, and he didn't know how many punches and kicks he received in the blink of an eye.

Although the protective magic weapon could reduce the damage, it could not withstand such devastation. He suddenly lost his swords, his body deformed, and he died miserably in mid-air.

Sha Dongmen on the other side died a moment earlier than him. When he was repelling the two puppets, he was suddenly punched in the left ear and his head exploded on the spot.

Shen Tuzi had sharp eyes, grabbed it with his backhand, and pulled out two Gangsha crystals from Sha Dongmen's lapel.

"Can young warriors of Middle-earth's level enjoy such resources?!"

Shen Tuzi's face twitched, and he looked at the two corpses and then at the purple cloud, his eyes becoming hotter and fiercer.

"What a waste!"
