Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

In the dim light, Ning Yan stared at the deep passage and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

The sound was like a low hum coming from a faraway place, like the noisy white noise that an old radio makes when it can't receive any signal.

But after a moment, the sound quickly became clear. It was the sound of flapping wings of a dense swarm of bees moving. Countless tiny wings flapped at high speed, interweaving into a wave of sound that made one's scalp tingle, rolling towards this side like a surging tide.

At the same time, a heavy and dragging sound of footsteps was faintly discernible amid the buzzing of the swarm of bees.

Every step he took was accompanied by a dull echo, as if a giant carrying a heavy burden was struggling forward.

The sound of footsteps and the flapping of bees' wings blended together miraculously, forming a strange and unique rhythm.

The buzzing of the bees is like rapid drumbeats, while the footsteps are like slow and heavy subwoofers. The two collide with each other, making people's heartbeats disordered in an instant.

In this mixed sound, one can seem to hear the sharp chirping of some bee colonies that have been disturbed. The sound becomes louder and louder, more and more dense, as if it is their angry protest, or a deadly warning.

However, the footsteps did not retreat at all because of the restlessness of the bees, and they still approached this side slowly, and every step made people's hearts tremble violently.

Even though he had just obtained the magical skill "Dutian Shensha Sword Canon", Ning Yan still did not have much confidence at this moment.

Any random guy taken out from this underground palace would be enough to make a person’s head as big as a bucket.

Not to mention unknown people who make constant noises like this and can easily attract attention from the outside world.

Since the other party has been able to survive until now, it means that those who have come into contact with him in the past have most likely been eliminated or expelled by him.

This fact alone forced Ning Yan to be on high alert.

The footsteps that were originally prepared to explore deeper suddenly turned backwards and moved away silently.

Not to mention whether he could win the fight, he had no intention of engaging with the other party at all.

When it comes to crises, try to avoid them if you can.

However, referring to the other stone path we came from, this one in front of us might also be set up with a powerful magic array similar to the [Nine Netherworlds Bewildering Array].

You must be vigilant when passing through to avoid accidentally falling into the formation.

There is no Qi Ruyue holding the formation-revealing talisman to help him break the formation.

As I was thinking about this, the deep stone road ahead suddenly emitted a faint light.

It seemed like someone was walking towards this side with a candle in hand, and the light of the candle gradually penetrated the darkness here.

Ning Yan's pace suddenly stopped.

what's the situation!
Why is there someone on this stone path? !

There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Are they trying to trap me to death here?!

At this moment, Ning Yan just felt extremely annoyed.

Theoretically speaking, if we really encounter this situation, we must choose one side to break through.

Otherwise, once he was surrounded from both sides, even if he was in his peak condition, he would not be able to escape death.

Moreover, he currently has the biggest advantage of being in the dark. Once he launches a surprise attack, the other party may not be able to detect it.

The only problem is where to break through.

The heavy footsteps behind him were accompanied by the buzzing of a swarm of bees, and although a dim light was spreading in front of him, he could not hear any footsteps.

Comparing the two, both looked quite dangerous, which made Ning Yan feel very conflicted.

So, he simply stopped moving forward, held his breath, concentrated his mind, and used the art of concealment to hide behind the tall column of cold light.

I just hope that the guys coming from both sides won’t notice him.

Just as I hid myself here, the swarm of bees inside rushed out first.

Ning Yan was a bit naughty when he was a kid, and he had poked many beehives. The largest one was as big as three human heads, and its entire body looked like it was made of yellow mud.

The swarm of bees that came out that time was so dense that it covered the sky and the earth, and it chased a group of children and made them scream for miles.

However, compared with the scene in front of him, that scene was like a small king meeting a big king.

Then, the dense swarm of bees suddenly poured out from the passage like a tide that had been opened, and in the blink of an eye, a huge red cloud formed on the field.

Bursts of intense buzzing sounds were heard from within, and a human figure could be vaguely seen standing in the center of the swarm.

It was just that the swarm of bees was too dense where he was, covering his entire body so that it was impossible to see what he looked like.

But just this scene in front of us is enough to make people feel terrified.

Because every scarlet fierce bee that landed on the field was powerful enough to be comparable to violent anger.

A swarm of so many fierce bees is like a well-trained army.

Even if someone came close to him, he would probably be completely swallowed up.

In addition, the auras of these fierce bees are all connected to each other and seem to be very scattered, but if you close your eyes, they are like a whole, as if they are a giant creature that has come to life.

Maybe they are controlled by the humanoid inside.

As soon as he thought of this, the light in the passage on the other side gradually became brighter, gradually encroaching towards this place, and even illuminating a large area near the entrance of the passage.

Then, a ball of light composed purely of purple light suddenly jumped into the field of vision.

"Star Beast!"

"It's another star beast!"

Ning Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling unbelievable.

After the ball of light fell into the field, it quickly condensed into a gigantic beast nearly five meters tall.

It looked like an enlarged pangolin, covered with pure purple scales. The lines on its body all glowed faintly, and it was somewhere between a real and virtual entity.

Although it is smaller than the blue star beast encountered before, its momentum is more imposing, exuding a fierce aura from the inside out.

There is no doubt that the strength of this star beast should exceed that of the blue star beast.

What surprised Ning Yan was that it was difficult for star beasts to live in the outside world. Under normal circumstances, if they wanted to survive for hundreds of years, it would be best to seal them in some independent space treasures.

But now he encountered two star beasts in succession, and neither of them looked as decadent as he had imagined, and they still looked quite active.

Could it be that they all came out of their seal recently?
If you think about it carefully, this may be quite realistic.

Otherwise there is no way to explain how they could stay outside for so long.

Then the question comes-

As everyone knows, the star beasts of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect are all raised by Shao Xinghan himself and are an important part of his combat power.

As a result, two star beasts were walking outside one after another. Could it be that Shao Xinghan had lost control of the star beasts? Or to put it more concretely, had he died in them?
This inference does have some possibilities. After all, Li Wuxiang said that he was still alive, but he did not mention his survival status. Perhaps he had been seriously injured for a long time, so it is normal that he could not survive for hundreds of years.

But even if he is dead, subsequent actions still need to be extremely cautious.

God knows what arrangements he made before he died. The traps in this underground palace alone are enough to kill him a hundred times.

While his thoughts were flying, the swarm of humanoids and the purple light star beasts had already seen each other.

Ning Yan originally thought that they would miss each other and continue to move forward in the direction they originally went.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two sides met, they immediately became like enemies, each bursting out with terrifying power and attacking each other fiercely.

Countless fierce bees surrounding the human figure swept towards the purple star beast like a surging red torrent. They quickly condensed in the air and turned into sharp bee stings, shooting towards the star beast at an extremely fast speed. Wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, making a shrill scream.

At the same time, the purple starlight around the star beast suddenly surged, forming a solid defensive barrier.

The bee stings hit the barrier, making a dense "ding ding" sound, like heavy rain hitting metal, splashing light everywhere.

The purple star beast let out an angry roar, and slammed its front paws down, sending a purple star power shock wave rushing towards the human figure opposite like an overwhelming force.

The human figure flashed flexibly and turned into countless fierce bees that scattered and dodged, and then quickly reorganized. Its arms instantly grew longer and turned into two giant whips, which lashed at the star beast fiercely with a whistling sound.

The star beast dodged sideways and lashed the ground with its huge whip, causing dust to fly and leaving two deep grooves on the ground.

The Purple Star Beast opened its bloody mouth, and a purple energy ball quickly condensed in its mouth. As the energy ball continued to grow, the surrounding space seemed to begin to distort and deform, and then it ejected the energy ball.

The energy ball rushed towards the swarm of humanoids like a small meteor, carrying a breath of destruction.

The bee swarm figure felt a huge threat, and it immediately recalled all the fierce bees to form a thick bee wall in front of it.

The energy ball hit the bee wall, instantly causing a violent explosion, with flashing light and rolling air waves.

When the light dissipated, the bee swarm figure was a little embarrassed, but still intact. It let out a sharp cry and once again commanded the bee swarm to attack the star beast. The purple star beast was not to be outdone, and starlight flowed around its body, rushing forward fiercely.

The two sides fought fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, many traces of damage were caused to the ground and even the beams and pillars.

Ning Yan looked at the battle situation on the scene with a look of shock in his eyes.

Without mentioning anything else, just looking at the strength they have shown now, it is estimated that they should be between the peak of Hua Jin and the third level.

It is difficult to explain the specific level, but there is no doubt that if he accidentally falls into the field, he will be easily killed by one of the parties.

With such destructive power, even if he could rely on the Yu-shaped stele to block it, the remaining force would still be enough to shatter his entire body.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel very fortunate that he had not fled to either side before.

Otherwise, whether it is the purple light star beast or the swarm humanoid, there is a high probability that they will kill him easily and then fight again.

It was as if his presence was like air.

"Yes, just ignore me like air."

Ning Yan muttered to himself, huddled under a huge column of cold light, quietly observing the battlefield.

The battle on the field has now entered a white-hot stage.

The purple star beast let out a silent long roar, and the purple starlight on its body instantly gathered on its right paw. The entire right paw was wrapped in bright starlight, exuding a breath of destruction.

It leaped forward suddenly, and its right claw was like a flash of purple lightning, smashing towards the swarm of humanoids with tremendous force.

The bee-like figures sensed the deadly danger of this attack and frantically directed the swarm to dodge.

However, the speed and power of this attack was far beyond its imagination, and before the swarm of bees could completely disperse, it was hit head-on by the star beast's attack.

In an instant, the bee swarm like a red tide was torn apart by this powerful force. Countless fierce bees were shattered by this blow and turned into bee corpses scattered all over the sky.

The humanoid body of the swarm gradually disintegrated under the impact, and it let out a shrill scream, the voice full of unwillingness and fear.

In just a moment, the once majestic bee swarm figures completely dissipated, leaving only the remains of bees and the pungent smell of blood in the air.

Although the Purple Light Star Beast successfully killed the swarm of humanoids, it also paid a heavy price. The full-strength attack just now almost exhausted all of its strength.

At this moment, the purple starlight around it became dim, and its huge body couldn't help but shrink, its height shrunk to nearly two feet, just like a doll.

Ning Yan could roughly understand why it had shrunk in size.

This was because if it did not condense any more, the purple starlight, which was its original power, would probably no longer be able to maintain its original form, and if it continued to hold on, it would definitely suffer irreparable damage.

At this moment, the humanoid form of the swarm has already died, and the originally powerful purple light star beast has almost weakened to the point of being seriously injured and unconscious.

Ning Yan carefully walked out from behind the broken cold light column, tiptoed around the purple star beast and prepared to go out.

Immediately afterwards, a thud was heard, and the small purple star beast unexpectedly fell to the ground, as if it couldn't even support its body.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yan's expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He knew that the Purple Star Beast had consumed a lot of energy in the battle, but he didn't expect it to be weakened to this extent.

If you say so...

"Perhaps we can capture it?"

In a flash, the black and white Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl immediately appeared in Ning Yan's hand.

Originally, even if the Purple Light Star Beast fainted in front of him, he would not be able to control it. After all, the beast in his body had only condensed into a trace, and the "Tianji Beast Taming Technique" could not exert a strong effect.

But now that we have obtained the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl, the situation is different.

No matter how damaged the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl is, it is after all a powerful weapon that was once wielded by the Beast Master Ding Bao, and it is also a powerful weapon specially used to suppress all kinds of monsters.

Now, with the help of the power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl, he might have a chance to subdue this star beast.

If any accident happens in the middle, the worst that can happen is to kill this star beast on the spot.

Although he only had a little strength, it was more than enough to deal with such a seriously injured star beast.

Ning Yan did not delay any longer and immediately activated the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl to cast a curse on the purple star beast.

Unexpectedly, the expected fierce resistance did not occur.

It was like a dead object without any resistance, allowing him to imprint the curse of enslaving monsters into its consciousness.

Accompanied by a faint roar, Ning Yan successfully sensed the connection between himself and the star beast through the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl.

But his expression became more serious than ever before.

To subdue a star beast, one must not only subdue it, but also sever the control of its previous owner.

It's so easy to subdue it.

Could it be that the Shao Sect Master is really dead? (End of this chapter)
