Chapter 218 The Reality of All Things
Chapter 218 The Reality of All Things
"If I really arrived in Tianyuan City, I could just verify my idea. Unfortunately..." Ying looked around and saw a majestic and solemn city. Compared with Fengyang City, this city was smaller and less vibrant. But compared with Linyuan City, which Ying had seen first, it was much more magnificent.
Ancient characters were engraved on the towering city walls. Although Ying could not recognize the meaning of those characters, he could feel a strong murderous aura from them. The characters were arranged in an orderly manner and connected to each other, eventually forming a powerful formation on the city walls to protect the peace of the people in the city.
but……
Ying looked around and found that in addition to herself and Wenlan, the cultivators guarding Fengyang City and the three Earth Immortal Realm helpers that Guiyan and Dong Ye had found were all sent to the Tianyuan City in front of them. However, so many people who appeared out of nowhere did not cause any disturbance.
Because there is no one in this city.
Finally, Ying's gaze fell on Qu Qing.
This immortal from the Tiancang Sect was now surrounded by demonic aura, and deep dark evil power was constantly surging in his jewel-like eyes. The immortal, who had been communicating normally and behaving calmly with Ying not long ago, now looked like a demon walking out of hell.
"I'm finally back... I'm back, it's not too late, everyone is still okay..."
Qu Qing's lips, which were made of clever machinery, opened and closed, and intermittent syllables reached everyone's ears.
"She has been possessed by a demon!" The monks guarding the city reacted immediately. The magic power of one of them was obviously much stronger than the others. He was a monk in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
"But what exactly happened? She was clearly fine before. Although the demonic energy in her body occasionally fluctuated, it shouldn't have caused her to become possessed in an instant."
"It seems that someone has manipulated the evil spirit in her body. She is not completely possessed by the devil now, but is blinded by the evil spirit. But if it drags on, it will be hard to say." The helpers Gui Yan and his friends found were all cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm. One of them took a step forward and swiped his fingers in front of his eyes, leaving a light golden light, as if he used some kind of magic to see Qu Qing's current condition clearly.
"This Tianyuan City is also a bit strange. It has no vitality, but it is not dead either. It is just like..." Another earthly immortal cultivator hesitated and said, "It is as if everyone has disappeared out of thin air."
"No matter what, subdue the enemy in front of you first, and think of a way to deal with the rest later!"
After the last helper finished speaking, he formed seals with his hands, and a layer of hot flames attached to his body. Several long snakes made of flames surrounded him, and then suddenly rushed towards Qu Qing.
Qu Qing was still looking around, and his body, which should have shown no obvious expression, even revealed a look of relief and joy, and he had no reaction to the impending attack.
But just as the fire snake was about to hit Qu Qing, a long sword fell from the sky. The moment it hit the ground, it grew dozens of times larger and turned into a solid barrier, protecting Qu Qing firmly.
The fire snake hit the sword, and the hot breath was crushed into pieces by the invisible force before it could spread.
Then, a monk dressed similarly to Qu Qing fell from the sky. Half of his body was made of mechanical structure, and the other half was flesh and blood - a skeleton and skin made of large pieces of jade and metal were embedded in the scarred flesh, which looked quite strange.
The strangest thing was that there seemed to be something else under the man's flesh. His already bumpy body was still rising and falling irregularly with a tiny amplitude, as if each of his muscles had its own thoughts.
Twisted, hideous, and grotesque, Ying's first impression of this man was not good. She was not one to judge people by appearance, but as an experienced adventurer, she was able to perceive a lot of information from the first meeting with the other party.
The one who comes is not kind.
Ying clenched his right hand, his face as gloomy as water, and quietly looked at the mysterious man who appeared in front of everyone. Without anyone noticing, he quietly retreated to this "corner of Tianyuan City".
"How could the Tiancang Sect have such a cultivator?" The Earth Immortal Realm cultivator guarding the city felt the fluctuation of magic power in the other party's body, which was actually much stronger than his own.
The monk who rushed out at the beginning also retreated repeatedly, but before he took a few steps, a murderous aura came from behind him. The flame attached to his body immediately turned into a shield. Unknown metal flowed back and forth in the flame, and the hot breath rushed towards the direction where the murderous aura came from.
A burnt smell came from the air, and a body made of the same machinery as Qu Qing appeared in front of the monk. His abdomen had been burned through by flames, and his hands, which were originally intended to attack the monk, also stopped in mid-air.
Just when the monk breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his abdomen. A faint blue flame suddenly burst out from his abdomen and swallowed his entire body in the blink of an eye.
"Woooa ...
The monk's screams woke everyone up. Those monks who were guarding the city and had lower cultivation and had not yet entered the Earth Immortal Realm were frightened and retreated one after another. However, no one ran away. The other monks in the Earth Immortal Realm brought by Gui Yan cast spells to try to save the burned monks.
But every time a cultivator made a move, an enemy made of machines would appear behind them. These people were obviously cultivators from the Tiancang Sect. Their strength was supposed to be far inferior to that of the cultivators from Fengyang City, but these cultivators from Fengyang City were completely powerless to fight back in front of them.
Not long after, three of the four Earth Immortal Realm cultivators in Fengyang City were killed, and the remaining one was already a dying candle in the wind and could die at any time.
As for those Fengyang City cultivators who had not yet entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, they were safe and sound, even though they had launched attacks on the Tiancang Sect's cultivators.
"Impossible..." murmured one of the cultivators who had not yet entered the Earthly Immortal Realm. He saw his attack hit Qu Qing with his own eyes, but then he realized in a sense of illusion that his attack had no effect at all.
The last remaining Earth Immortal Realm monk ultimately failed to muster the strength to launch a Jedi counterattack. Facing multiple enemies stronger than him, only a miracle could save him.
As he took his last breath, Qu Qing seemed to be relieved and glanced at the monks in Fengyang City who had not yet entered the Earthly Immortal Realm.
"The leaders of those demon cultivators have been eliminated. Now we just need to get rid of the remaining demon cultivators and the monsters they attracted, and the crisis in Tianyuan City can be resolved."
After saying that, Qu Qing looked at the sword-carrying monk who appeared first, her face half excited and half guilty. She seemed to make some sound, perhaps talking to the other party, but only unidentifiable noise came out of her mouth, making the remaining Fengyang City monks feel dizzy.
Ying watched all this silently. Suddenly, a light green light appeared in her palm again. Then, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. Like an ink painting immersed in water, the mixed colors flowed down and disappeared, and another vivid picture appeared in her eyes.
The immortal from Fengyang City who had just been destroyed turned into a demon cultivator with evil spirits and hideous faces, while the surviving cultivators from Fengyang City turned into unconscious monsters, roaring and shouting continuously according to their instincts.
Similar to Qu Qing, the monks whose bodies are made of machinery all have an immortal air, and their eyes made of gemstones emanate powerful magical powers.
The same was true for Qu Qing. At this moment, she did not look like a fairy possessed by demonic energy at all. Instead, she was like many cultivators in Fengyang City - even like the cultivators who had been purified by Ying - and appeared to have never been contaminated by demonic energy.
"I see. They are using her desires and worries to distort her cognition."
Ying sighed softly in her heart, and the light green light on her palm turned into a seed seal. She pointed it at Qu Qing from a distance, and immediately everything Ying saw and knew poured into her mind.
