Chapter 453 The landscape is as beautiful as a painting, and the people are even more dashing.
Chapter 453 The landscape is as beautiful as a painting, and the people are even more dashing.
Golden bells jingled from the eaves of the vermilion building.
Chu Lengyu's power was amplified by the Law of Heaven and Earth, becoming many times stronger.
"Master Qingsong" struggled desperately, but the black protective shield could not withstand the immense force and shattered into pieces, scattering into a sky full of demonic energy.
He was struck as if by a tremendous force, his body staggering back several feet, his face pale, and a trickle of blood slid down from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his clothes.
His eyes widened, a fierce glint flashing across them, before he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Accompanied by a low incantation, his figure suddenly became blurred, as if he were about to merge into the world and escape.
Chu Lengyu snorted coldly and attacked even faster, like lightning and thunder, instantly grabbing the fleeing figure in her palm and interrupting his spellcasting.
The giant hand, its power undiminished, continued forward with overwhelming force.
Wherever it passed, vegetation was destroyed, bricks and stones flew everywhere, until the place where "Master Qingsong" was located was completely buried. All that could be heard was a deafening roar!
Once the dust settled, everyone looked closely and saw that "Master Qingsong" was firmly held in Chu Lengyu's hand, with only his head showing.
The ground cracked, revealing deep fissures.
A magical artifact shimmering with eerie light was also knocked away, transforming into a streak of light that crashed through several buildings, raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was deeply moved, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously in their hearts.
What we see today is a power beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Master Qingsong still refused to give up, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging, as he struggled to break free from the restraints.
Wisps of demonic energy continued to seep out, swirling around him as if in his final struggle.
Chu Lengyu narrowed her eyes, and in the next instant, two sharp sword lights burst forth from her eyes, pointing directly at the "Master Qingsong" that was tightly held in her hand.
His face showed fear, and he instinctively tried to raise his hand to block. His cultivation surged, and he wanted to use his movement technique to escape.
However, he is now trapped in the Five Finger Mountain, his spiritual power is sealed, and he has no effective means to resist.
The magical artifact intended for a sneak attack was also severely damaged at this moment.
At this moment, he was like a fish on a chopping block, completely at the mercy of others.
"Shuh—!" Accompanied by a sharp sound of air being torn apart, two frost-like sword lights slashed through the sky and fell with perfect accuracy.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
"Pfft!"
A dull sound.
A huge head separated from the torso, filled with resentment and astonishment, and finally fell helplessly to the dust, rolling several feet away. Amidst the flying dust, a splash of scarlet was particularly eye-catching.
At the same time, a semi-transparent soul struggled out of the severed body, shaped like smoke, ethereal and uncertain, its eyes filled with the desire to survive, and fled towards the horizon regardless of everything.
However, the surrounding scenery suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
The pavilions, terraces, mountains, waters, plants, and trees all seemed to lose their substance, beginning to sway and twist, as if being gently kneaded by an invisible giant hand, becoming illusory and unreal.
Wei Wuxin and the others stared in disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment, wondering what had happened.
They mistakenly believed that Jingu Island was under the protection of the Qianlan Sect.
It turns out that they were just frogs in a well, unable to even see what methods others were using.
The surrounding scenery gradually revealed a faint green hue, eventually transforming into an ancient yet magnificent scroll painting, quietly suspended in mid-air.
It is precisely like this: a vast expanse of clear river immerses the green mountains, and the entire universe seems to expand within it. (Note)
The scroll slowly shrank, and the vast landscape and misty clouds were once again drawn into the narrow scroll, finally landing lightly in the hands of a beautiful woman dressed in a red palace dress.
She was adorned with gold and jade, and a blooming peony was pinned in her hair, perfectly complementing her bright and elegant temperament.
The beautiful woman in the palace dress had eyes that sparkled like autumn water, and her gaze finally settled on Chu Lengyu. A gentle smile appeared on her lips: "This humble woman is Danzhu, and greets Fellow Daoist Xia."
Chu Lengyu nodded slightly in return, while looking at the beautiful woman in the palace dress with curiosity.
Unexpectedly, there was such a hidden trap on Jingu Island, concealed among nature and difficult to detect.
This painting spirit named Danzhu is clearly one of the trump cards carefully prepared by the Myriad Star Alliance. Her cultivation level in the late stage of the Integration Realm is enough for her to sit here and guard this important entrance and exit.
This was the first time Chu Lengyu had ever heard of a painting master with such high cultivation.
This fellow Daoist Danzhu must have accumulated countless years of experience to stand so openly before all the cultivators, instead of being captured by some powerful figure and kept in a cave as a calligraphy and painting maid.
Spirits born into such difficult circumstances always possess one or two unique qualities that they can use to protect themselves.
Although Chu Lengyu felt a little apprehensive, she was mostly curious and respectful of this master painter.
After all, in this vast and boundless world of cultivation, to be able to cultivate to such an extraordinary and saintly realm, and to survive countless tribulations without falling, is truly a rare and precious achievement.
At this moment, the members of the Thousand Mist Sect stood aside, caught in a dilemma, watching Chu Lengyu and the beautiful woman in the palace dress, Danzhu, with tense expressions.
The fall of "Master Qingsong" was like a heavy hammer blow to their hearts, filling them with fear that the two powerful figures might develop a new rift, triggering an even more terrifying battle.
Chu Lengyu looked down at her palm, then flicked it gently, and the crushed flesh fell to the ground, turning into a pile of minced meat, devoid of any life.
Seeing this, the members of the Qianlan Sect felt even more uneasy.
Either of the two women before them possessed the power to manipulate events and destroy the world.
Especially the suddenly appearing Fairy Danzhu, whose strength and methods stirred their hearts.
The moment the Dharma image appeared, the commotion was so great that it almost shook the entire island.
Surprisingly, Tang, the leader of the Myriad Stars Alliance, did not react at all from beginning to end, and the protective formations of this place were not activated even slightly.
This scene, seen by onlookers, naturally aroused some suspicion, wondering if the Myriad Star Alliance was really as powerful as rumored. Why did it seem so timid and hesitant? Was it unwilling to make enemies easily?
But then Fairy Danzhu suddenly appeared and took away the remnant soul of "Master Qingsong". What does this mean...?
A subtle tension permeated the air, as if a taut string could snap at any moment, triggering an unpredictable storm.
