Beneath the rubble, the Serene Green Palace was still intact.
Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong stood in front of the Serene Green Palace, their expressions grave.
The Serene Green Palace was one of the Seven Palaces and Thirteen Palaces.
Just the Winged Serpent guarding the Serene Green Palace was so powerful. One could imagine that the Serene Green Palace definitely contained an important inheritance.
"This is the Serene Green Palace?"
Jian Wuhong said softly. Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings.
The place where Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong were at was a plaza.
The plaza was covered in dust. It was clear that it had undergone the baptism of time.
There were three palaces in front of the plaza.
In the middle palace was a golden plaque with the words' Serene Green Palace 'written on it.
The left palace was the Library Pavilion.
The right palace was the Divine Wind Pavilion.
According to its name, the Serene Green Palace in the middle should be the main hall of the Serene Green Palace.
As for the Library Pavilion on the left, it should be similar to the main hall where cultivation techniques were stored.
As for the Divine Wind Pavilion on the right, Fang Chen was a bit confused.
"Let's go in and take a look." Jian Wuhong turned to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded.
The two of them entered the main hall first.
Buzz.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they felt a boundless aura spread out.
Then a soaring battle intent pressed down on them.
Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong were startled. They wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The main hall's doors were closed, trapping the two of them inside.
"This is …"
Fang Chen stabilized himself, his pitch-black eyes staring ahead.
Under his gaze, a strange aura erupted from the throne at the front of the hall.
Following that, the strange aura scattered around the throne.
Crash.
A group of people instantly appeared in front of the throne.
They were all filled with unyielding battle intent.
"What is this?" Jian Wuhong hastily asked.
These people's auras were very powerful, giving her a sense of pressure.
"Hmm, they seem to be puppets."
Fang Chen found that these people were somewhat wooden. They didn't seem to be living people.
"These are the Serene Green Guards."
Just as Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong were in shock, a voice suddenly entered their ears.
This was Serpentwing's voice.
"Dark Azure Guards!"
Fang Chen was a little surprised when he heard that.
"The Dark Azure Guard was the strongest troop under Palace Lord Dark Azure's command.
However, with the fall of Palace Lord Dark Green, the Dark Green Guards were wiped out as well. "Serpentwing continued.
"For countless years, after the Dark Azure Guards died, their resentment entered their bodies, and they maintained their walking corpses for a very long time just to protect the Dark Azure Palace."
Hearing this, Fang Chen was moved.
He had guarded the Serene Green Palace when he was alive, and he still had such a strong obsession even after his death.
These Dark Blue Guards were extremely loyal to the Dark Blue Palace Lord.
Even if he died, he would protect the Serene Green Palace.
"You have broken through my blockade, but you are only qualified to enter the Serene Green Palace."
Serpent Wing continued, "Only by truly defeating the Dark Azure Guards will one have a chance to obtain the inheritance of the Dark Azure Palace. Otherwise, only death awaits."
Hearing this, Jian Wuhong was a little speechless.
Fang Chen said, "These Dark Azure Guards have an extremely powerful aura, especially after their battle intent is connected. They can even explode with powerful strength.
When they were alive, they were at least Creation Tier elites. It's too difficult to defeat such a powerful troop. "
"Actually, with your strength, you have a slim chance of survival.
As time passes, the resentment on the Dark Azure Guards continues to weaken. Right now, the Dark Azure Guards are only equivalent to ninth layer Heavenly Body Tier martial artists, "Serpentwing said.
Fang Chen pursed his lips.
Even if they were equivalent to ninth layer Heavenly Body Tier martial artists, their battle intent was connected, and their battle prowess was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
"You have no other choice."
Serpentwing fell silent after he finished speaking.
No matter how Fang Chen tried to communicate with him, he ignored him.
In the end, Fang Chen glanced at Jian Wuhong, his face filled with helplessness.
"We can only fight," Fang Chen said.
Jian Wuhong nodded, her aura rippling, her battle intent overflowing.
Weng!
When Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong were fighting, the Dark Azure Guards moved.
At their peak, the Dark Azure Guards had a total of 138 people.
Now, however, there were only 36 people.
However, even so, they could not be underestimated.
The 30 Dark Azure Guards exploded with powerful auras.
As they made their moves, their fighting spirit instantly appeared above their heads.
Battle intent took form.
This could only be done when one's battle intent reached an extremely high level.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen could not help but sigh.
The Dark Azure Palace Master was truly a genius. He actually had such a powerful troop under his command.
However, now was not the time for him to ponder.
Fang Chen used the Spatial Strangulation Technique, and his body passed through the void, directly entering the middle of the Dark Azure Guards.
At the same time, Jian Wuhong's sword danced with a domineering sword light.
With Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong's attacks added together, they could even put up a fight against Ku Shu, who was ranked first on the Magnificent Heaven Roll.
However, facing the Dark Azure Guards, they finally understood what a true troop was.
Something like Battle Intent was of no use to ordinary martial artists.
However, it was extremely useful to a true troop.
The members of the Dark Azure Guard were able to manifest their battle intent, which greatly increased their strength.
The 36 Dark Azure Guards quickly spread out, surrounding Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong in the middle.
At the same time, the 36 battle intents above their heads quickly merged together.
Dong!
When the battle intents completely merged, the 36 Dark Azure Guards seemed to become one.
Their every action was actually exactly the same.
"Our minds are connected."
Fang Chen cursed inwardly.
His body was forced to reveal itself by the Dark Azure Guards.
Jian Wuhong's attacks were also broken down by the Dark Azure Guards.
"What do we do?" Jian Wuhong was somewhat anxious.
Fang Chen's brows were also furrowed as he rapidly pondered.
A moment later, Fang Chen roared, "You attract their attacks."
Jian Wuhong nodded and quickly waved the sword in her hand.
A fierce attack once again unfolded, instantly attracting the Dark Azure Guards' attacks.
The gazes of the 36 Dark Azure Guards all focused on Jian Wuhong.
A saber appeared in each of their hands.
Swish!
Thirty-six saber-lights slashed through the air, smashing into Jian Wuhong's sword-light.
Crack!
The sword-light shattered and Jian Wuhong suffered a powerful backlash and rapidly retreated.
Just as the thirty-six saber-lights were about to strike Jian Wuhong, space suddenly rippled and the Primordial Killing Formation appeared.
Just now, Fang Chen had used Jian Wuhong to attract the Dark Azure Guards' attacks while quickly setting up the Primordial Killing Formation.
Rumble!
Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong hid within the Primordial Killing Formation.
The Dark Azure Guards' attacks continuously struck the Primordial Killing Formation.
Whoosh.
Fang Chen let out a sigh of relief.
The Primordial Killing Formation had blocked the Dark Azure Guards' attacks, allowing him to relax a bit.
"We can't continue like this. The Dark Azure Guards' attacks are very strong, and their battle intent is still rising.
If their battle intent rises to its peak, we'll definitely die, "Jian Wuhong said anxiously.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "We must use the Primordial Killing Formation as a foundation to ambush the Dark Azure Guards.
As long as we heavily injure one of them, their battle intent won't be able to match and their battle strength will definitely drop. "
"Alright." Jian Wuhong nodded.
Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong fought the Dark Azure Guards within the Dark Azure Palace.
And outside, above the ruins, an uninvited guest had arrived.
This person was bald, and from his clothes, he seemed to be a monk.
"Dark Azure Palace."
This person wore plain clothes and muttered to himself.
If there were martial practitioners from the Qingyuan Archipelago here, they would definitely recognize this person.
He was the twenty-first ranked expert on the Qingyuan Ranking of the Qingyuan Archipelago, Wood Buddha. He mainly cultivated the Buddhist Dharma and had converted to Buddhism long ago.
The Buddhist Dharma he cultivated was broad and profound.
And he even had a Buddhist expert as his master.
The Creation realm experts of the Qingyuan Archipelago all believed that Wood Buddha could inherit his master's legacy and become a Buddhist expert.
And this trip to the Coiling Moon Celestial Cave, Wood Buddha's goal was to find Celestial Qi and break through to the Creation realm.
Once a Buddhist cultivator stepped into the Creation realm, their strength would far surpass other cultivators of the same cultivation level.
Wood Buddha arrived above the ruins and frowned slightly when he saw the corpses on the ground.
"Someone came before me."
Just as Wood Buddha spoke, Snake Wing appeared.
"I'm the guardian of the Dark Azure Palace. You can enter if you defeat me," Snake Wing said.
"Defeat you?"
Wood Buddha asked.
"Don't worry, my cultivation level will be suppressed to the ninth level of the Heavenly Body Tier," Snake Wing continued.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Wood Buddha's face.
Then, he attacked at lightning speed.
A golden Buddhist light appeared above his head, its power boundless.
The battle went on for about two hours, and Wood Buddha defeated Snake Wing by a single move.
"You can enter," Snake Wing said.
"Someone else went in before me?" Wood Buddha asked.
"Two people," Snake Wing said.
Then, Wood Buddha nodded and entered the Dark Azure Palace.
In front of the Dark Azure Palace, Wood Buddha looked at the tightly shut doors, recalling Snake Wing's words.
Snake Wing had told Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong before, so Wood Buddha naturally told Snake Wing.
"Defeat the Dark Azure Guards."
Wood Buddha leisurely walked toward the main palace, and then gently pushed open the doors.
Instantly, he saw 36 Dark Azure Guards madly attacking the Chaos Origin Killing Formation.
"What a powerful battle intent." Wood Buddha was slightly surprised.
Then, he made his choice.
It was impossible for him to deal with the Dark Green Guards alone.
"Let's work together."
Wood Buddha quickly entered the Chaos Origin Killing Formation.
Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong were slightly surprised when they saw this.
"It's too difficult to defeat the Dark Azure Guards with just the two of you. How about the three of us work together?" Wood Buddha said.
Fang Chen and Jian Wuhong exchanged a look.
"My name is Wood Buddha. If you know anything about the Qingyuan Archipelago, you should have heard of my name," Wood Buddha continued.
Hearing this, Jian Wuhong's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
Then, she nodded. "Okay, the three of us will work together."
Jian Wuhong had heard of Wood Buddha before, and was well aware of his strength.
