Chapter 159 Burnt to Ashes
The giant crocodile's huge body slowly stopped, looked at the group of twenty people in front of it, and snorted in annoyance.
Yan Xin and others on its back stood up with serious expressions, staring at the group of people.
"Senior Sister, these seem to be disciples from Ziyang Pavilion and Tiangang Sect."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xin's eyes fell on the clothes of the group of people. Indeed, as the female disciple said, they were the disciple uniforms of the two families.
But when she looked at those people's expressionless faces, she always felt that something was wrong.
Chu Xinglan had landed beside them at some point, holding a spirit sword with smooth lines in his hand, and carefully looking at the group of people in front of him.
Yan Xin didn't care about her little thoughts, and moved closer to Chu Xinglan, and asked in a low voice: "Do you feel that there is something wrong with these people?"
"It doesn't look like a living person."
Chu Xinglan licked his lips. The sense of crisis made him feel like a thorn in his side when he got close to these people, and they shouted at him to stay away.
He looked at these guys inch by inch and finally found something wrong.
"They don't seem to be affected by the formation, and looking at their eyes, they seem to be controlled."
"And I can't sense their presence. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have ignored it."
Upon hearing what Yan Xin and his group said, they immediately looked in the direction of his eyes. They were so dark that no whites could be seen. Especially after Yan Xin looked twice more, he found that these people had not even blinked.
Chu Xinglan was alert in his heart but did not show it on his face and walked forward.
"My fellow Taoists, this place is very dangerous, let's leave quickly."
As he spoke, he kept his eyes on this group of people, not wanting to miss any details, but unfortunately these people were like a group of sculptures, without any reaction.
Just when Chu Xinglan approached within ten steps, the guy standing in the front seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and without any warning, he launched a killing move towards Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan took a light step and barely dodged the attack. He was a little shocked. This guy's attack just now actually had the strength of the Golden Core Stage!
If he hadn't been on guard the whole time, he would have been caught.
After this attack, this group of human-shaped sculptures seemed to come alive, their eyes locked on Chu Xinglan, and their men were merciless and ruthless in their moves, obviously aiming to kill people.
What is most unbelievable is that this group of disciples who were supposed to be in the Foundation Establishment Stage, now have the weakest ones in the Early Golden Core Stage.
For a moment, Chu Xinglan had a hard time resisting.
Yan Xin and the others were startled by this sudden change, but they still subconsciously took out their own magical weapons. Just as they were about to attack, they were stopped by Chu Xinglan.
"Giant crocodile, take your people and leave quickly!"
The spiritual arrow in Yan Xin's hand had already taken shape, and he was a little dissatisfied when he heard this.
"You don't think that we, the disciples of Yuehua Palace, are just in name only, right? At a time like this, how could we possibly leave first?"
As he spoke, the spiritual arrow in his hand shot towards a puppet standing on the periphery.
Ding--
A crisp sound was heard, and the spiritual arrow that she had expected would at least seriously injure the opponent was like it had hit the strongest black iron. It broke into pieces, leaving no trace at all before dissipating into the air.
The puppet was attacked, and its dark eyes stared straight in the direction of Yan Xin. For some reason, those eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, made Yan Xin shudder subconsciously.
The next second, he rushed straight towards her.
Yan Xin felt the heart in her chest beating like a drum as his footsteps approached, making her subconsciously want to retreat. But looking at Chu Xinglan who was still surrounded and fighting with the puppets, she gritted her teeth and called out to her fellow disciples behind her.
"Everyone, get in formation!"
"Yes!"
Yan Xin secretly encouraged herself, cut the silk ribbons tied around her body, and was the first to jump off the giant crocodile's back.
"Go help Chu Xinglan."
The giant crocodile glanced at her with its big eyes, and was pleased to see that the weak and frail biped was actually quite brave.
After everyone jumped off it, they rushed directly towards Chu Xinglan's battle circle.
Chu Xinglan, who was surrounded, was also in a bit of a mess at this time. It was not that he could not win, but most of his energy had to be used to control the spiritual fire to prevent Yan Xin and others from being eroded by the formation, and also to prevent the spiritual fire from hurting these people.
If it were just him, he wouldn't have exerted so much strength. And he didn't know what was going on with this group of people. Not only did their strength suddenly increase, but their defense also became much stronger. His spirit sword only made a cut, but these people didn't seem to feel any pain.
Seeing Yan Xin and others joining the battle, Chu Xinglan frowned deeply, and took out another bottle of pills from his bell and put it into his mouth.
The next second, a cluster of spiritual fire quickly swept towards the sword body along the place where his hand touched the hilt. In just a moment, a layer of platinum flame attached to the spiritual sword.
The sword was raised and swept across, and platinum-colored flames immediately ignited on the bodies of all the puppets it touched. Chu Xinglan finally saw expressions of pain on these people's faces.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xinglan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue the enemy. His Lingxiao sword technique flowed smoothly and carried a fierce killing momentum.
The chest of a puppet was pierced in an instant, and a platinum flame burned fiercely. Soon, only a pile of ashes was left on the ground. The wind blew gently, and no trace was left.
The giant crocodile took the time to glance at it, then quickly turned his head back and worked even harder with his hands.
The crocodile was really scared. This two-legged beast is so cruel that it would burn the dead to ashes.
Yan Xin and the others also swallowed their saliva subconsciously. More than a dozen of them fought a puppet for a long time and only caused some minor injuries to the puppet. Chu Xinglan actually managed to kill one person directly in the encirclement.
What kind of strength does this have?
The puppets that originally surrounded Chu Xinglan seemed to be frightened as well. They all stopped moving, surrounded Chu Xinglan and dared not move forward.
Chu Xinglan's heart was filled with fighting spirit. He looked at these strong guys as if they were prey. His blood-red pupils were flashing with excitement. He spoke to Yan Xin and the others without even turning his head.
"Everyone, stand back and use your spiritual power to support the defense shield. I am going to take back the spiritual fire."
Yan Xin and the others were very clear about the role of the spiritual fire. If there was no spiritual fire to protect them, their spiritual power would have been drained out along the way. How could they stand here safely or even attack with spiritual power?
But now, everyone knows that spiritual fire is the only weapon in Chu Xinglan's hand to kill the enemy. If Chu Xinglan doesn't get rid of these puppets quickly, I'm afraid they will all die here.
Yan Xin glanced at him, pursed her lips and took the lead in putting up the protective shield. The Yuehua Palace disciples beside her also mobilized their spiritual power.
After the protective shield was formed, Yan Xin led his men to retreat quickly, leaving the place to Chu Xinglan.
