Chapter 478: Was his brain damaged by lightning?
Deafening thunder echoed between heaven and earth.
The bright moon in the distant sky seemed to be stained with a cold blood color, and the terrifying lightning spread endlessly. The originally dreamy Milky Way turned into a strange dim color.
The crimson full moon, the dim galaxy, and the devastating sea of thunder seemed to be ruthlessly swallowing up the world.
Huangfu Ming felt hopeless.
No matter how much he thought about it, he never thought...
Zhao Qing would not harm his life, would not humiliate him, and would not even fight with him... Instead, he chose to force him, the eighth of the Nine Swords, into the Golden Core Realm!
He shouted hysterically that he had surrendered, but his voice was drowned out by the thunder.
The Dust Sealing Formation obscured his divine consciousness, and no one could discern his voice transmission.
He can use the Absolute Immortal Diagram to forcibly destroy the formation, or he can mobilize his spiritual power and fight to break free from the formation.
He could directly use Cui Yuan to send a message to the Bone Girl to help him escape, or he could use a secret method to inform his uncle and have him taken away by force.
One could even invoke the power of the Nine Swords and summon the supreme Taoist soldiers from the Holy Land to slash through the formation from afar...
But he dared not.
Under the baptism of endless thunder punishment, even if there is a slight fluctuation of spiritual power, he may become a golden elixir on the spot!
He didn't dare to gamble.
Zhou Xiaoyi had already blocked all his escape routes.
All he could do was wait.
He could only rely on the vast vitality he gained from the longevity ban to hold on.
His divine palace collapsed, his meridians were severed, his heart and internal organs were torn apart by the lightning, and even his consciousness began to become confused and slow...
Gradually, Huangfu Ming lost consciousness.
He only felt that this endless thunder punishment was like a vast ocean, and he was a fish sinking in the ocean current.
……
"Senior Brother Huangfu is dead!"
"Shut up! Brother just fell down!"
"To forge your body with such a thunder punishment, Senior Brother truly possesses incredible courage!"
"He bathed in the sea of thunder with his foundation-building body, and never gave up even when it was shaky. Such a tenacious mind is truly a role model for our generation!"
Zhao Qing's brows gradually furrowed as he looked at the vague figure in the depths of the sea of thunder. He was filled with confusion at this moment.
How can you fall asleep so easily?
Jian Ting's voice echoed in his ears: "Brother, don't be surprised. Although this little Huangfu is annoying, he has always been a tough guy. It's normal that he hasn't sent a message to admit defeat."
???
Zhao Qing and his aunt looked at each other, and each of them sensed something unusual.
Although this sea of thunder was enough to destroy a Jindan cultivator...it was not enough to force the Nine Swordsmen to such an extent...
Is it true that he is using thunder to strengthen his body?
Otherwise, why would he be punished by standing there until he fell down?
There was an uproar in the two ancient palaces, and many elders were secretly on edge, fearing that something unexpected would happen during the Nine Swords' movement.
Wang Shuyue looked unhappy. Seeing the worry in Bone Girl's eyes, she couldn't help but whisper, "Husband... has Shuyue gotten into trouble?"
She also felt it was incredible at this moment. Could he really kill the Nine Swords Walking with the thunder technique that she herself didn't quite understand?
After hearing Shuyue's whisper, Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head: "Senior Brother must be using the thunder to practice, no need to worry about it."
Although he said this casually, he had no intention of removing the formation, and even wanted to increase the firepower...
Because from what he could sense from the blood he detected, Huangfu Ming's current condition... seemed like he was really dying.
Right now.
A woman flew over from the Five Meridians Ancient Palace. She was graceful, lively and beautiful like a fairy.
"Saint Lady Xiao!"
"Xiao Yunshu, the Saintess of the Heavenly Fragrance Bamboo Vein! Senior Brother Huangfu's Taoist companion!"
Huangfu Ming’s woman?
Zhao Qing looked at the visitor with a slightly serious expression, and found that the woman in front of him had a gloomy expression and did not show too much worry. Her deep eyes were surprisingly calm.
He asked doubtfully, "Junior Sister Xiao?"
Xiao Yunshu bowed lightly and spoke softly, "My husband must be feeling unwell and may not be able to break the formation. Yunshu admits defeat on his behalf. I hope you will show some mercy."
Zhao Qing felt strange when he heard this. Seeing this woman being so leisurely...how could she look worried?
However, he did not hesitate at all and immediately said to Shuyue and his aunt, "Quickly remove the formation to avoid hurting Senior Brother Huangfu!"
no way.
Even if he didn't withdraw his formation, the elders of Shattered Star and the chief cultivator of the Huangfu clan would be eager to intervene.
My aunt nodded seriously, and with a wave of her slender hand, the formation collapsed, and the sea of thunder in the sky gradually dissipated without a trace...
The Bone Girl's beautiful eyes were calm, and she just sighed helplessly in her heart, then turned around and went to check on Huangfu Ming's condition.
At this moment, countless eyes and consciousness in the world were gathered at the place where the sea of thunder dissipated!
boom--
Waves of pure and vast spiritual power suddenly dissipated.
That ferocious-looking figure... the fluctuations in his cultivation level also began to gradually weaken, and in an instant he was below the Foundation Establishment stage, and was even inferior to the ordinary fifth-level Qi Training stage!
In an instant, the expressions of many elders in Shattered Star changed, and the galaxy fell silent. Several Yuanying of the Huangfu clan rushed to Huangfu Ming's side in an instant!
The bone girl frowned slightly, looking at the man in front of her with a hint of pity on her face.
Zhao Qingshuyue and her aunt also frowned tightly, confused about the situation for a moment.
Huangfu Ming's body was as charred as charcoal, with no skin or hair left, and even his eyes were difficult to distinguish. How hideous and miserable could he be?
What's even more terrifying is... his three spiritual palaces have all collapsed, his dantian has shattered and his foundation is no longer there. Not to mention his internal organs and meridians, even his life palace is crumbling, and he is clearly on the verge of death.
Several Yuanyings of the Huangfu clan suddenly changed color, and there was even more anger in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Qing and his party.
Elder Ye from the Star-Breaking Holy Land took a step forward and, with a wave of his hand, covered the Star Platform with a massive formation...
He didn't care how angry the Huangfu clan was, and hurriedly used the puppet-making method to forcibly set up formations in Huangfu Ming's sea of consciousness and life palace, protecting his remaining life and consciousness.
Xiao Yunshu hesitated for a moment, then took out a crystal treasure tree from the jade bracelet, refined it with her bare hands, and passed all the vitality in it to Huangfu Ming.
That was the most precious treasure for prolonging life in the Xunshou Forbidden Area, and also the marriage gift given to her by the Huangfu clan.
Even though Huangfu Ming did not treat her with the slightest affection as a couple, she was still trying her best to protect her man without any reservation.
The vast vitality flowed unsteadily, all pouring into the man's heart and veins.
Intricate array patterns flew out from the old man's hands, and he used the secret technique of puppet casting to support Huangfu Ming's life palace and sea of consciousness.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth seemed particularly strange for a moment.
Huangfu Ming, whose body was as charcoal, was naturally lifeless at this moment.
Xiao Yunshu, with a gloomy expression, knelt to one side and gently supported his body on his legs.
The three Yuanying cultivators of the Huangfu clan all looked lonely and helpless. They occasionally glanced at Zhao Qing and the other two, their breathing slightly unstable, but they could not say anything.
Qingrao used the authority of Baiyu to perform the secret technique of nourishing the soul, then stood quietly by and watched, frowning and falling into deep thought.
Zhao Qing and Aunt Shuyue also had serious expressions, but they were also full of confusion.
They knew best the formations they had set up themselves.
This situation is obviously not right...
What kind of thunder punishment could injure Nine Swordsmen so badly? Didn't he resist it at all?
Really using thunder to forge his body?! Is there something wrong with his brain?
But that’s not right…
His Taoist foundation and Dantian were destroyed by lightning. How can he build a good body?
Zhao Qing was filled with wonder, he had never expected that... Shuyue and his aunt joined forces to beat the Nine Swordsman into a mortal!
Thoughts raced through my aunt's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but speculate wildly, "Could this be a trick? What is Huangfu Ming trying to trick us into...?"
"Is it to deepen the hatred between us and Huangfu Jiujian...?"
"I can't understand..."
Shuyue frowned slightly, pursed her lips and said nothing. She felt that the current situation was confusing and she couldn't think of anything.
It's not just them who don't understand.
At the moment, those present included Bai Yu Xingzou, Elder Shuxing, the chief cultivator of the Huangfu clan, and the saint of the Tianxiang lineage... They had no idea what had happened.
"Is it really just a means of attracting lightning?"
Qingrao was puzzled and asked Zhao Qing secretly.
She had been by Zhao Qing's side from the beginning to the end, and originally thought that she knew everything, but now in this situation... even she began to doubt Zhao Qing.
Could it be that there really was some strange method that could destroy the cultivation of a world-traveling master in public?!
Zhao Qing: ???
Although he really wanted to kill Huangfu Ming, how could he admit that it was not him who did it?
"Attract Thunder, Seal Dust, Gather Spirits, and Absolute Injury—just four formations."
"Besides, Huangfu had to ask for the battle formation, and I haven't even made a move yet..."
Zhao Qing is now speechless.
He and Huangfu Ming have a grudge...
But now he didn't even have time to do anything, and Huangfu Ming was almost dead. It was simply unbelievable.
The Bone Girl's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she immediately raised her head and questioned Elder Ye in a cold voice, "Xiaoyi and Shuyue's formation is far from this level. Is it that a senior from the Broken Star Holy Land is secretly stirring up trouble?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three Yuanying of the Huangfu clan all looked sideways, staring at the old man with fierceness, without any fear in their eyes.
Ye Zhongjian: ???
"Absolutely impossible!"
"The Nine Swordsmen's personal visit to Shattered Star was definitely not an intentional invitation from our Holy Land!"
"The two of you were fighting in a walking formation, and none of our consciousness or spirits were even close to you. How can you say that?"
"Investigate the Cuiyuanshuiling Notes and the Qiangui Zhaixing Palace. This matter is definitely not the fault of our holy land!"
Even Ye Zhongjian, the incarnation elder of the holy land, couldn't help but feel a little panicked at this moment.
The Nine Swords Walking lost all his cultivation, his Dantian shattered, and his life was as weak as a flickering lamp... This involved not only the Nine Swords Holy Land and the Huangfu Clan... but also the subsequent battle for Tianxiang City. It was obvious that Xiao Yunshu had no hope of walking.
……
The vast galaxy evolved from the formation, completely covering the boundless fairyland.
Under the bright moon, only two towering ancient towers are floating up and down.
Elder Shattered Star came forward in person, and his voice spread thousands of miles across the galaxy.
[Five sects were defeated in the battle formation. From today onwards, the Holy Land's Wandering Secret Realm will be controlled by three sects.]
If you are exploring the Wandering Realm, you can go directly to the Sanmai Mingchuanfang, Yifengfang, Shizhongfang, and Qiuhongfang to seek quota opportunities.
[For example, disciples from Penggu and Youranfeng can now return to their own mountains to cultivate themselves.]
[The clansmen accepted by the Star-Grabbing Platform will proceed to the Holy Land, the Star-Picking Hall, to discuss matters.]
[The six disciples accepted by the two sects followed Junior Brother Xu Feng to select a peak and then went to Minghua Pavilion to receive the inheritance of the formation puppet.]
[In addition, a feast has already been set up at Wangyantan. Fellow Taoists, please go there and sit and rest...]
The trial of the Holy Land's Stargazing Platform ended without any warning.
However, among the monks who were watching in the ancient palace, very few of them left. Instead, they were talking in a noisy and chaotic manner.
Although the grand events in Zhongzhou in the past were inevitably talked about by people.
But the topic they are talking about now... seems to have nothing to do with the Stargazing Observatory.
At the same time, messages began to spread throughout Zhongzhou.
"The young master of the Huangfu clan, Huangfu Ming, the Nine Swordsman! He was beaten to death in the Broken Star Holy Land!"
"In the battle for Tianxiang City, Saint Xiao lost her chance before she even entered the city!"
"The two walkers agreed to demonstrate their fighting skills, but before the Blood Robe Walker could even make a move, the Nine Swords Walker was already dead!"
"It's Fairy Shuyue! Fairy Shuyue used her momentum to punish him, directly slashing away all of Jiujian Xing's cultivation!"
"Blood-robed Zhao Xingxing has countless companions, and there are already seven of them who appeared at the Star-Gathering Platform..."
"Junior Sister Chu Hongning is the weakest and will enter Tianxiang City soon!"
"Fairy Zhou hasn't revealed much. Although her formation skills are extraordinary, I don't think she's as powerful as Junior Sister Gu!"
"The Moon Fairy's strength and methods are unfathomable. Before Zhao Xingzou could even make a move, the Moon Fairy had already easily killed Nine Swordsmen!"
In the holy land of Nanxian, the fairy palace is hidden deep in the clouds.
On the top of the Qiongyu Palace, Nangong Yao's eyes trembled, and she whispered in surprise: "Huangfu Ming's foundation of Taoism has been shattered?"
Qu Ying'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Does that Junior Sister Shuyue really have such a method?"
Nangong Yao: ...
"How is that possible? Let's go to Shattered Star and have a look. We just happen to be heading to Tianxiang City together."
·
The stars are swaying, and the ancient palace is bustling with people.
The Jian family's vast flying boat floated across the sky and earth, quietly waiting for the formation covering the Star-Glancing Platform to dissipate.
In addition to Hong Ning Qing Huan and Tang Shi Qi, Jian Ting, Jian Qiong, and several guests from Yue Lian Sect and Lingxi Valley were also on the flying boat, whispering and discussing.
Wan Xian's expression was solemn, and he sighed leisurely, "I'm afraid Zhao Xingzou had anticipated this, so he didn't remove the formation yet."
"I think this matter is too strange and weird, and it is definitely not something Miss Zhou did on purpose." The charming girl held her cheek with her hands, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
Qinghuan and Hongning watched silently, but compared to the smile in Hongning's watery eyes, Qinghuan had a hint of worry, fearing that the current situation would be disadvantageous to his master.
Right now.
A young man came riding on the wind from the place where the Nine Swords disciples gathered.
He bowed respectfully and bowed deeply to the flying boat. "My fellow brothers and sisters, I, Miao Jian, have a long history with Zhao Xingxing. Would it be possible for us to come aboard and chat?"
Jian Ting took a quick look at the man in the distance...
In the late stage of foundation building, his eyebrows and eyes were as if carved by a knife and an axe, and he looked particularly resolute.
The extremely unique fluctuation of spiritual power was obviously from a disciple of the Nine Swords.
But Jiu Jian Xingzuo’s life or death is currently unknown, so what’s going on with that hint of joy in his eyes?
Are you old friends with Senior Brother Zhao?
Jian Ting's mind moved slightly, and he immediately glanced sideways at Gu Qinghuan and Chu Hongning.
Hong Ning was naturally aware of Miao Jian's life experience. Now that she had actually seen this evil star, her eyes couldn't help but show a bit more surprise and curiosity.
"He's the master's friend."
Qinghuan whispered softly, without saying much, and just let Miao Jian board the boat first.
Their trip to Zhongzhou, besides going to Tianxiang City, was also about something related to Miao Jian.
I never thought I would meet Miao Jian in this Shattered Star Holy Land...
·
……
On the stargazing platform.
In less than three incense sticks of time, the charcoal in Xiao Yunshu's arms began to show signs of life.
Seeing that Huangfu Ming finally woke up, the people of the Huangfu clan and the Broken Star Holy Land couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao Qing stared at the charcoal-black face quietly. When he saw Huangfu Ming barely open his left eye, he immediately grinned and raised his eyebrows at him in a playful manner.
"Brother Huangfu, are you okay?"
Seeing this, Huangfu Ming's body trembled suddenly, and he tried to move in panic, his pupils shrinking rapidly as if he was frightened.
Thoughts raced through my aunt's beautiful eyes. Facing the angry stares of the three Yuanyings of the Huangfu clan, she showed no fear at all. She simply whispered, "He...can't hear?"
"you--"
A heart-piercing hoarse sound was heard, which seemed particularly strange and creepy.
Huangfu Ming struggled to raise his head: "You - have never... never - performed martial arts..."
Zhao Qing: ???
What did you say?
The Bone Girl's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she whispered doubtfully: "I... never wanted to perform a martial arts competition with you?"
She wanted to use her life butterfly to sink into the other party's shattered mud ball and try to convey something to him, but the man's hideous face was so creepy... so she gave up the idea.
Zhao Qing had a strange look on his face. Seeing how pitiful little Huangfu was, he didn't want to torture him anymore.
After all, it was Shuyue who beat him like this...
He asked with a puzzled smile, "But wasn't it Senior Brother Huangfu who proposed the formation?"
Huangfu Ming:! ! !
"it is good--"
"well--"
"What a vicious woman..."
Zhao Qing looked at the Bone Girl in confusion.
What's going on here?
Was his brain also damaged by lightning?
