Behind Tang Yuan and Liu Can, there was a monster that was neither a monster nor a ghost that was neither a monster nor a ghost!
Its entire body was covered in gray mist, looking incomparably fierce. Following this, the monster opened its mouth, which was actually as big as a door!
Cao Mang saw all of this and he could no longer care about Tang Yuan and Liu Can. He released his protective spiritual energy and took out the dark green broken sword.
Tang Yuan and Liu Can thought that Cao Mang would go all out against them, but they could see a trace of fear in Cao Mang's eyes.
At this moment, layers of gray ripples came out of the gray monster's mouth!
The strange thing was that there were faint cries coming from these ripples. What was even more terrifying was that these cries seemed to be the cries of children!
The monster had appeared without a sound, and Tang Yuan and Liu Can's attention had been focused on Cao Mang. Therefore, the two of them were instantly drowned by the ripples. Their minds were filled with cries and howls, and even began to stir up all sorts of negative emotions in their bodies.
Pain, anger, depression, sadness … …
The endless negative emotions were about to drive them crazy!
The gray ripples continued to seep into their bodies as streams of Evil Qi invaded their bodies and corroded them!
This was a dual torture of the physical body and mind. This was the fourth level spiritual technique, the Evil Sky Mourning Curse!
Of the three of them, only Cao Mang released sword qi from the broken sword to block a portion of the gray ripples, but even like this, his expression was filled with pain.
Only they did not know if this monster was originally in this side hall or if it was made by someone.
No matter where this monster came from, they had to leave first!
Cao Mang only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, even leaving the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm. The broken sword in his hand suddenly released a strong dark green sword glow, forcefully creating an opening in the gray ripples.
Cao Mang used all his spiritual energy to charge out of the ripples and quickly ran out the door.
Tang Yuan and Liu Can also saw Cao Mang's actions, but they were trapped in the gray ripples and could not think of a way to escape, so how could they care about Cao Mang?
They could only watch as Cao Mang ran away.
Cao Mang had one foot out the door and his heart was filled with joy. However, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder and several bolts of blue lightning fell down on him!
How could Cao Mang have imagined that there was still a violent thunderstorm waiting for him outside the door?
The protective spiritual energy on his body was instantly torn apart under the rolling thunder, and several thunderbolts struck down without any resistance!
Cao Mang's body was instantly charred from the outside and tender from the inside. The lightning entered his body, madly destroying his flesh and meridians. He opened his mouth and coughed out a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of his internal organs.
He didn't have time to panic. Only now did he see that a lightning formation with a radius of several meters had been set up in the main hall. Specks of lightning flickered, and bolts of lightning rumbled. It was extremely gorgeous, and it lit up the entire main hall.
He also saw a figure standing in the center of the lightning array!
However, the figure's face could not be seen clearly under the cover of the lightning.
This person was naturally Leng Shiqi.
What he was using now was a rank three spiritual skill, Lightning Annihilation Formation!
Although this Lightning Destruction Array was only a rank three spiritual skill, its power was not much weaker than a rank four spiritual skill. Its biggest flaw was that it required a certain amount of time to set up the Lightning Destruction Array, and it could not be moved.
In other words, it was very limited!
Fortunately, Cao Mang and the other two had been focused on searching for treasures in the side hall, so Leng Shiqi had had time to set up the Lightning Destruction Array.
Now that the array was set up, just a few thunderbolts were enough to seriously injure Cao Mang!
Cao Mang finally understood that there had been a person following behind them all this time!
His eyes flickered. He knew that he was already injured, and now that the evil energy in his body was wreaking havoc and the lightning was wreaking havoc, he was definitely not a match for the other!
"Brother, if you want nothing more than the treasures in this main hall, I can offer them all to you. I can even give you my mustard seed bag in exchange for my life."
In his view, Tang Yuan and Liu Can, who were still in the side hall, could not be trapped forever. They would come out sooner or later. He only needed to delay them, and when the three of them joined forces, it would be time for them to counterattack!
However, what answered him was a giant ice sword exuding an extremely cold aura!
Cao Mang's expression finally changed. The other party was not even willing to say a word. Even now, he could still feel a trace of the aura of death!
"No, I cannot die. When I get out, I will soar!"
Cao Mang roared inside. Perhaps the threat of death had stimulated his latent power. The broken sword suddenly exploded with a sword energy not to be outdone by the giant ice sword!
The sword energy and the giant ice sword collided fiercely. In an instant, the sword energy shattered, and the ice shattered. This exchange was actually evenly matched.
However, at this time, the Lightning Destruction Array once again formed multiple bolts of lightning and struck down!
Cao Mang wanted to dodge, but his spirit power had long been depleted from the fierce battle. His body had been ravaged by the evil energy and lightning. He did not have the strength to dodge.
The lightning once again swallowed Cao Mang. However, Leng Shiqi was still not reassured. His five fingers shot out five fire spears.
Cao Mang was completely turned to charcoal under the lightning and fire!
Then a green light that only Leng Shiqi could see entered his body.
Leng Shiqi was not happy at all. His eyes focused and he secretly said, "They should come out now."
The Evil Heavenly Mourning Curse was a fourth level spiritual skill and it could attack both the physical body and the mind. It was indeed a very strong spiritual skill.
However, it had a flaw that could not be considered a flaw. That was that the Evil Heavenly Mourning Curse did not have a strong killing power!
It could erode your body and torture your mind, but it was very hard for it to kill people!
So, Leng Shiqi did not think that a single Evil Heavenly Mourning Curse could take care of Tang Yuan and Liu Can.
In fact, it was indeed like this. Tang Yuan and Liu Can in the side hall gradually found a way to deal with the Evil Heavenly Mourning Curse.
Moreover, Leng Shiqi could not control the Evil Heavenly Mourning Curse while fighting Cao Mang, so the two of them escaped before Cao Mang died.
Even if they escaped, they still had to suppress the evil energy in their bodies, so they were not in a rush to come out.
At the same time, they could hear the intense fighting outside!
No matter what, Cao Mang was still a spirit cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Pulse Realm. If he died here, it would not be good for them to rashly go out.
Liu Can had an anxious expression as he asked, "Brother Tang, what should we do?"
Tang Yuan thought for a bit and said, "The person outside should be a spirit cultivator. He has already laid down a spiritual array outside, we cannot charge out!
Let's wait and see. If he dares to come in, we will use all our strength to kill him. If he doesn't come in, it's also good. We will just wait here to recover our spiritual energy. Someone will come here sooner or later. "
"Brother Tang is right. A spirit cultivator in the fourth stage of the Sky Realm is not easy to deal with."
