Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 917 Blood Corpse

On the ground, Mu Qianfeng and the others did not leave. They all watched the situation deep underground with serious expressions.

Although their divine senses could not detect what was happening inside the Soul Refining Array, they could at least feel that the array had been activated, which meant that Pang Long and Ye Xuan had already started taking action. Knowing how powerful the Soul Refining Array was, they were not optimistic about Ye Xuan and felt that Ye Xuan would most likely be eliminated by Pang Long soon. But at the same time, they also hoped that Ye Xuan could create a miracle and "help" them get rid of Pang Long.

Of course, what they hope most in their hearts is that the two of them would die together!
After a while, everyone keenly noticed something unusual. An elder couldn't help but say, "It's a bit strange... Is the fluctuation of the soul refining formation too strong?"

Just as they were in doubt, Mu Qianfeng, who had the highest level of cultivation, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "Not good! Retreat quickly!"

"Rumble..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake violently. In shock, everyone immediately flew into the sky and quickly retreated backwards. The ten people subconsciously retreated in different directions, and after dispersing, they formed a circle over a thousand feet in size in the air.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

The next second after everyone took off, the dull sound from underground became louder and louder. When they looked down, they were shocked to find that countless spider-web-like cracks had appeared on the ground where they had just stood. A heat wave rushed out from the cracks, and the temperature within a hundred miles rose sharply in an instant.

"Bang!!"

Just a moment later, the cracked ground seemed to finally be unable to bear it and exploded, earth and rocks flew out, and a black pillar of fire several dozen feet thick shot up into the sky! !
The flames shot up to the sky with a terrifying momentum, so loud that it could be seen even from a hundred miles away.

The warriors of Yinsha Sect retreated again and again in horror. Mu Qianfeng turned his head with a gloomy face and glanced at the distance. After a slight hesitation, he turned to an elder not far away and shouted: "Activate the sect protection formation immediately! No one is allowed to approach Yinsha Sect!"

“Yes!!” The elder took the order and flew away, disappearing behind a mountain not far away.

"It's been broken! The Soul Refining Formation...is broken! How is this possible!!"

"Spiritual fire!? What kind of spiritual fire is this?! Isn't the spiritual fire that Ye Xuan possesses the Heavenly Star True Flame?! How come I have never heard of this pitch-black flame!?"

"What on earth is going on down there!"

As everyone was shocked, they saw the pillar of fire that shot up into the sky suddenly shrink rapidly and disappear in the blink of an eye. Looking down, they saw that the place where they had been standing before had turned into a round pit the same size as the pillar of fire. The pit wall was charred and still emitting thick smoke, and they could not see the bottom of the pit at all.

However, everyone's divine sense immediately detected the situation at the bottom of the pit which was several hundred feet deep...

……

At the bottom of the pit, there was a large skylight above the head. The original stone chamber naturally no longer existed, but the ground under the feet was still intact, but the rune array on it had long disappeared.

The last trace of flame penetrated into the palm of his right hand. Ye Xuan slowly let go of Tianyin Xuannv in his arms, secretly adjusted the holy power in his body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

He looked up at the figure on the other side that was wrapped in thick blood, grinned, and said lightly: "See, I told you that breaking your soul refining formation... is as easy as pie!!"

"..." On the opposite side, the blood energy around Pang Long that was condensed like a cocoon suddenly dissipated and turned into a ball of blood mist that rolled restlessly around him again. In response to Ye Xuan's ridicule, he did not say a word, but just stared at the other party with eyes as cold as a knife, but his heart was actually in great shock and anger.

He really couldn't believe that the soul refining formation that he had painstakingly spent several days setting up was broken by Ye Xuan in just half an incense stick.

Now thinking back, Pang Long realized that Ye Xuan must be a formation master, so he could easily see the flaws in the soul refining formation he had set up. Moreover, the opponent's spatial force actually had the power to break the ban. Otherwise, even if ordinary attacks hit the formation flag, they would directly pass through it and could not easily destroy the formation flag. In addition, the terrifying black fire was able to forcibly break the formation when there was only one formation flag left in the soul refining formation...

All of this was something Pang Long had never expected, which caused him to be confused from the beginning and watch the other party break the soul refining formation.

In fact, Pang Long didn’t know that Ye Xuan’s heart was also full of relief at this moment.

Fortunately, his attainments in the art of formations have improved a lot during this period. When he stepped into the stone chamber, Ye Xuan had already discovered traces of the formation here. When Pang Long activated the formation, he used the sharp insight of the Garo Demon Eye to find the location of one of the formation flags, and used the magic flame sword energy to infuse the space law to attack. After opening the first hole, the positions of the remaining formation flags were exposed and destroyed one by one by Ye Xuan. When the last one was left, knowing that Pang Long would not let him succeed easily, Ye Xuan decisively took a more violent method - using the powerful destructive power of the Shura Demon Flame to forcibly destroy the already shaky formation.

In order to break the formation in one go, Ye Xuan paid a heavy price. The punch that forced Pang Long back was done by instantly opening the Dragon Tiger Prison Body to the limit, and the final burst was done with all his strength. So even though the Soul Refining Formation was broken and even the ground above his head was opened up, the Shura Demon Flame was overused and could not be used again in a short period of time. In addition, more than half of his Saint Power was consumed. In other words, the situation was not optimistic...

"..."

There was a brief silence, and Ye Xuan secretly took the time to adjust his state. If the enemy didn't move, he would naturally not rush to move; Pang Long, after a miscalculation, thought calmly again. Although the soul refining formation was broken, he didn't think that the "prey" in front of him could escape. He was just considering what method to use to deal with Ye Xuan next, because what he pursued was not simple "killing", but "capturing".

"Om..."

Just as the two were confronting each other, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above. The expressions of the two changed slightly, and they looked up at the same time, only to see a layer of solid green light curtain appear in the sky above their heads.

"The sect protection formation?" Ye Xuan immediately turned his gaze back to the enemy opposite him, but his brows were slightly frowned. This was not beyond his expectations, but it still made him feel more stressed. The reason why he did not immediately rush to the ground with Tianyin Xuannv after breaking the formation was because he took into account that there were a group of masters from the Yinsha Sect outside. It would be almost impossible to break through that line of defense while dealing with Pang Long's pursuit. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, it would be better to stay down and deal with Pang Long before going out.

"Humph! What a waste of effort!" Pang Long only glanced at the top of his head and stopped paying attention. He snorted coldly, looked down at Ye Xuan and sneered, "You actually broke my soul refining formation. It really surprised me, but it was just a futile struggle!"

As if he had finally decided how to deal with Ye Xuan, Pang Long's eyes flashed fiercely, but he did not immediately move to attack. Instead, he raised his hand and threw out a blood-colored jade talisman, and he did not throw it towards Ye Xuan, but threw it on the ground between the two of them...

Ye Xuan's expression froze, and just as he was wondering, he saw that the moment the jade talisman touched the ground, it suddenly emitted a strange wave, and then sank into the ground as if it had sunk into water. The next second, the entire ground began to tremble slightly, and began to collapse from the place where the jade talisman fell, revealing a dark space several feet below. At the same time, an unpleasant smell of blood and decay rushed out from below, along with a series of cold and dead strange breaths.

"Roar!!"

The collapse of the ground stopped when it spread to a size of five meters. A roar like a beast suddenly sounded. At the same time, two scarlet dots of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, followed by a second pair, and a third pair...

A blood-red arm with rotten skin suddenly stretched out from the edge of the collapse, and then pressed on the ground at the edge with great force, and the five blood-red fingers directly grabbed into the stone slab, and then another bloody hand climbed out, and then, a bloody "person" with scarlet eyes appeared in front of Ye Xuan - or rather, this could not be considered a "person" at all, more like a "war corpse"...

After the first 'blood corpse' crawled out, the second, third, and fourth followed...

In just a few breaths, dozens of "blood corpses" crawled out, and their number continued to increase!
