After being defeated in one move, Yang Shilong and the other two stood at the bottom of the flame hole and looked at Lin Acheng in bewilderment, not daring to act rashly.
After Lin Acheng kept the black stone-like object, he didn't make another move. He just stood at the hole and looked coldly at Yang Shilong and the rest.
Only when the flames around the hole became fainter did Lin Acheng look at me from afar, then he turned around expressionlessly and walked into the hole.
As though he had calculated it, the moment his figure disappeared, the flames outside the hole also quickly extinguished. When the last wisp of flame disappeared, all that was left in front of us was darkness. The hole from before didn't seem to have appeared at all.
At this moment, Yang Shilong and the other two finally recovered. Fang Xing seemed to be unwilling to give up as he took two steps forward and threw the folding fan in his hand towards where the flame hole was.
The folding fan spun a few rounds in the air, but didn't find anything abnormal. The flame hole had completely disappeared.
Fang Xing then retreated with a face full of resentment as he muttered to Yang Shilong, "Yang-ge, what realm is this person at?
Why is he so powerful? "
Hearing his question, I was curious as well, so I immediately pricked up my ears and prepared to listen to Yang Shilong's answer.
Although he was defeated by Lin Acheng in one move, Yang Shilong was still the strongest among us, so he definitely understood Lin Acheng's strength better.
But who knew that Yang Shilong would frown and think for a long time before saying, "His strength … is hard to say. From what I feel, his strength should be at the initial stage of Glory of Consciousness."
What?
Initial stage of Glory of Consciousness?
Isn't that about the same as Zhao Yongkun back then? How is that possible?
Not only was I shocked, Fang Xing and the usually expressionless Lu Zheng also had faces full of astonishment. Lu Zheng subconsciously said, "That's impossible!
Initial stage of Glory of Consciousness isn't even comparable to me, how could he defeat the three of us in one move? "
Yang Shilong's frown deepened as he shook his head and said, "The power contained in that weird magic tool he used wasn't strong, it was indeed only at the initial stage of Glory of Consciousness. But that power was very strange, it didn't seem to be dao energy, nor was it any yin and yang power. I've never seen it before."
With that, Yang Shilong took a few steps forward and picked up the copper coin sword that had fallen to the ground. He held it in his hand and carefully examined it.
After a long silence, he continued in a doubtful tone, "I've never seen this kind of power before. It's a little sinister, but it's not exactly the same. It seems … to restrain the Dao Qi. The total amount of power is obviously not much, but it easily broke through my Nine Coins Magic Sword.
Not only that, after the Nine-Coin Magic Sword was damaged, I sent my Qi of the Way to the sword body, but I found that the sword body and my Qi of the Way did not seem to be compatible. "
His words startled me. The nine-coin magic sword was Yang Shilong's personal magical weapon. Although I hadn't created my own personal magical weapon, I knew that a geomancer had to spend many years to create it. There was no shortcut.
Once it was successfully refined, the personal magic tool would be completely compatible with the Dao Qi of the Fengshui Master and become the exclusive magic tool of the Fengshui Master. No one else could take it away and use it.
The reason why it had such a function was that the personal magic tool had been completely assimilated by the Dao Qi of the Fengshui Master.
The Dao Qi of every Fengshui Master was different, just like how people's fingerprints were different.
The personal magic tool was like a fingerprint lock added by the Fengshui Master. Except for the Fengshui Master, no one could open the lock.
But now, the situation that Yang Shilong encountered was that after his personal magic weapon was broken by Lin Acheng, he could not unlock it.
It was unbelievable and completely overturned my previous understanding.
Fang Xing and Lu Zheng were also surprised. Even Yang Shilong couldn't believe it. After saying that, he lowered his head and frowned, thinking.
After a while, Yang Shilong concluded, "This kind of power is too strange and overbearing. It's like the natural enemy of the Dao Qi. I've never seen it before. We must report it immediately.
Besides, although we couldn't see anything wrong with the fire hole, it must be related to the True Dragon Vein since it appeared here.
This is a big deal. We'd better leave this place and contact the headquarters first. "
Although we had brought communication equipment, there was a strong magnetic field near the True Dragon Vein. The communication equipment couldn't be used here. We could only get in touch with the outside world after we left this place.
After Yang Shilong gave the order, the three of us didn't have any objections. We immediately went back to pack our things. When the sun rose, we set out on the road back.
Yang Shilong and the others were full of confidence when they came here, but they didn't expect that it would end like this. Although they were middle-aged people who were shrewd, they couldn't help but be depressed on the way back.
On the way back, Fang Xing and the others had tried to use communication equipment to contact the outside world. Unfortunately, there was no signal on their phones until they reached the Yellow Spring River. Even the satellite phone that Yang Shilong had brought with him couldn't be used.
Fortunately, we had been calculating the time on the way back. When we arrived at the Yellow Spring River, it was the afternoon of October 14th. There were already corpses floating in the river. We just needed to wait until the floating corpse bridge appeared at night to cross the river.
The way back had been smooth until now. As the old saying goes, blessings don't come in pairs, but misfortunes don't come alone.
Right after that, something unexpected happened.
The four of us rested on the riverbank for a while. When the floating corpse bridge appeared at night, we continued to cross the river.
It was different from when we had come here. Today was the fifteenth of the month. The moon was bright, and it illuminated the floating corpses in the river. The white moonlight shone on the withered corpses' eye sockets, which looked much more terrifying than when we had come here.
However, Yang Shilong and the others weren't ordinary people. They wouldn't be frightened by this kind of scene. I also had previous experience, so I wasn't really afraid.
However, after the four of us had calmly stepped on the floating corpse bridge, a withered corpse suddenly stood up in the river. It rushed toward Fang Xing, who was walking in the front.
Although I had told them that the dried corpses in the river could attack people, Fang Xing wasn't prepared since he hadn't encountered them on his way here and he was in a hurry to leave. When the dried corpse attacked him, he instinctively used the folding fan magic tool he had been holding the whole time.
Because he moved so fast, I didn't have time to react. The folding fan magical weapon carried abundant Dao energy and directly cut open the corpse's head.
The corpse fell to the ground, but the Dao energy from the folding fan magical weapon scattered and splashed on the surrounding corpses.
When a corpse breathed in Qi, it would become a Shadow Corpse. When it breathed in Dao energy, it would become a real zombie.
Almost instantly, four black zombies appeared in the air and rushed toward Fang Xing, who was the closest to them.
Yang Shilong reacted quickly and yelled, "Defend the enemy!
Don't let the Dao energy touch the corpses! "
Fang Xing also reacted at this time. He put away the folding fan magic tool in his hand and replaced it with a vermilion talisman. He stretched out his hand and fixed the nearest Black Zombies on the spot. Yang Shilong had also arrived. He also used the talisman that prevented Dao Qi from spilling out to restrain the other two Black Zombies.
After he was done, the last black zombie was also taken care of by Lu Zheng.
From this, we could see the difference between Zhao Yongkun and these people. They were all in the Glory of Consciousness realm, but Zhao Yongkun had a hard time dealing with a black zombie. He had even used a paperweight magical weapon in the end. Now, not only Yang Shilong, but even Fang Xing and the others could easily deal with a black zombie.
The sudden incident was quickly quelled, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Shilong seemed to be dissatisfied with Fang Xing's previous performance and specially reminded him to be careful.
Just as we were preparing to continue our journey, all the corpses on the river surface suddenly started to float up and down. The river water also started to sway.
Yang Shilong and the others looked at the river strangely. They didn't know what was happening, but I instantly reacted. A layer of sweat appeared on my forehead. I shouted at them, "That golden head is coming out!"
After shouting, I immediately ran for my life to the other side of the river.
As for Yang Shilong and the others, they had already heard about how terrifying the black head was. The moment they heard me, they immediately sprinted towards the other side of the river.
Although my physical fitness wasn't bad, I hadn't passed the Dragon Luring stage. I hadn't received the complete baptism of the Dragon energy, so there was still a gap between me and Yang Shilong and the others.
Not long later, Yang Shilong and the other two overtook me. They were almost at the other side of the river, but I was still in the middle of the river.
Just at this moment, the corpses in the river suddenly flew into the air. I lowered my head and saw that a smear of gold had already appeared in the river.
