Chapter 39: The Secret in the Coffin and the Appearance of a Phantom
Everyone gathered around the crystal coffin, watching the shadows lingering around warily, and at the same time they were full of curiosity about the secrets in the crystal coffin. Yang Jian approached the crystal coffin, trying to see clearly what was inside through the glimmering crystal. In the crystal coffin lay a man in ancient clothes, with a handsome face but a strange paleness. On the man's chest, there was a black crystal embedded, which exuded a gloomy atmosphere similar to the symbol of the Shadow Cult.
"Who is this man? Why is there such a strange crystal on his chest?" Ao Bing asked puzzledly.
At this moment, some runes suddenly appeared on the crystal coffin. The runes flickered with a faint light and gradually pieced together into an ancient text. Feng Yao was proficient in many ancient texts. After carefully identifying them, she slowly said, "It is recorded here that this person is called Youying. He was a powerful evil cultivator in ancient times. He tried to rule the three realms with taboos and was eventually sealed here by many immortals and gods. The crystal on his chest seems to be the core of his power and the key to unlocking the many secrets of this relic."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The power core of the ancient evil cultivator must contain extremely terrifying energy. If it was obtained by the Shadow Cult, the consequences would be disastrous.
"It seems that the Shadow Cult has always coveted the power of the evil cultivator Shadow." Yang Jian said solemnly.
Just as everyone was discussing how to deal with it, the shadows lingering around suddenly became agitated, they let out sharp roars, and rushed towards everyone desperately. Obviously, they noticed that everyone was spying on the secrets of the crystal coffin and tried to stop it.
Ao Bing was the first to attack, and a raging blue flame surged around him. This was the unique fire control technique of the dragon race. The flame pounced on the black shadow like a dragon. Wherever it passed, the black shadow was swallowed by the flame and let out a series of shrill screams. However, the black shadows were numerous and continued to attack, with no intention of retreating at all.
Bajie swung his nine-toothed rake to repel the approaching shadows. He shouted, "These shadows are endless. We must find a way to get rid of them once and for all!"
Xi Feng waved his hands, and the water vapor in the hall quickly condensed into an ice wall, temporarily blocking the attack of the black shadow. However, cracks soon appeared on the ice wall under the attack of the black shadow.
Feng Yao used all her strength to activate the Holy Spirit Pearl, which shone brightly. Under the illumination of the light, the black shadows became extremely slow in their movements. Yang Jian saw the right moment and used the Art of Heaven and Earth. His body instantly grew several times larger. The three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand flashed with cold light. With one slash, dozens of black shadows were killed.
However, just as everyone was fighting the shadow, a slight tremor suddenly came from the crystal coffin. Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see that the shadow in the crystal coffin slowly opened its eyes, with a strange light flashing in its eyes.
The shadow's body began to float up slightly, and floated out of the crystal coffin. He looked at everyone, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would come here and help me break part of the seal. As a thank you, I will let you die quickly."
After saying that, the shadow waved his hands, and a powerful dark force surged out of his body. The shadows seemed to be summoned by something and attacked everyone more frantically. At the same time, the floor of the hall began to crack, and black vines emerged from the cracks and entangled with everyone.
Faced with this sudden crisis, everyone was not afraid, and each used all their skills to fight a desperate battle with the shadow and the black shadow. A thrilling battle began...
Chapter 40: A desperate battle, a turning point appears
The appearance of the shadow made the situation extremely critical in an instant. The black vines that emerged from the ground were extremely tough. Even when Bajie chopped them with his nine-toothed rake, only shallow marks were left. The vines quickly wrapped around Bajie's legs, trying to drag him down. Bajie struggled hard, shouting, "I, the old pig, will not be caught by you so easily!" He exerted force and broke the vines, but more vines swept towards him.
Ao Bing was fending off the attack of the shadow while using a portion of his flames to burn the vines. When the flames touched the vines, they made a sizzling sound and emitted bursts of black smoke. However, the vines seemed endless, and as soon as a batch was burned, new ones grew out.
Yang Jian held a three-pointed double-edged sword and confronted the shadow head-on. The shadow was erratic and extremely fast, and Yang Jian's attacks repeatedly missed. The shadow took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and dark energy shot towards Yang Jian like sharp arrows. Yang Jian opened his heavenly eyes, saw the trajectory of the dark energy, dodged sideways, and swung the three-pointed double-edged sword at the same time, chopping off the energy one by one.
Feng Yao tried her best to control the Holy Spirit Pearl, and the light continued to expand, trying to suppress the dark aura around her. But the power of the shadow was too strong, and the light of the Holy Spirit Pearl began to flicker under the impact of the dark power.
