Chapter 600: Breaking the Formation and Destroying the Altar
What caused these Taoists to become possessed by demons,
It’s not evil!

Li Yan only discovered this now.

The Qingyang Palace used the Liangyi Sword Formation. Li Yan had fought against it before and was familiar with it.

This time, the other side has mobilized in large numbers, about a hundred people, and it seems that they have gathered the number of Tiangang and Disha, and there must be more changes.

But because of this, the truth was revealed.

The evil energy from everyone gathered together and turned into black mist visible to the naked eye, rising up and entangled in the air, evolving into a Tai Chi pattern.

It is condensed and not dispersed, just like a living thing.

This is the behavior of a demon!
The evil qi is a mutation of the innate evil qi. It is immortal and can only be suppressed by famous mountains and rivers and gradually disappear.

And this thing is extremely dangerous.

Li Yan had only seen Situ Qian use it in small quantities.

Qingyang Palace inheritance,
I definitely won’t use this method.

The person who gave the order just now is the real mastermind!

"Humph!"

Sure enough, after hearing Li Yan's words, a cold laugh rang out in the Sanqing Hall, "What's the use of knowing so much?"

"Just play here slowly..."

As he spoke, the voice quickly faded away.

It seems that he has gone to Dou Mu Temple.

Li Yan looked into the distance, feeling uneasy.

Originally, I thought I only needed to deal with the Qingyang Palace, but I didn't expect that other forces would intervene and be able to control the evil spirit.

Even if the other party didn't say it, he had some guesses.

When I came here to investigate with Yang Chenghua before, I saw carvings of the Dragon Girl and Lord Jiangshen on the altar outside Doumu Courtyard.

The plan of Qingyang Palace is to suppress the Dragon Girl and revive the power of Lord Jiang by extracting the power of the secular gods within the temple.

They were bewitched by Lu Sheng and got involved in this matter.

And now, most of those who took action were from the Dragon Worship Cult!
Clang Clang!
Before Li Yan could think about it, the Taoists below had already drawn their swords.

"Wuba!"

Li Yan also held his knife horizontally and gave orders in a low voice.

He doesn't have time to break the formation here.

"coming!"

Wu Ba landed behind them, carrying the heavy Tiger Cannon, quickly loaded the ammunition, exerted force with his feet, and suddenly jumped onto the wall.

"Good guy..."

Wen Song, who was holding the "Yin Yang Pen" next to him, quickly dodged.

He has seen the power of this thing.

If the fire breaks out, everyone around will die.

Wu Ba also smiled and was about to light the fuse with the torch in hand.

He was huge in stature, with fingers as thick as carrots. In his hands, Sharifei's magic gun looked like a toy to him, and he had no interest in it at all.

Only the tiger squatting cannon is extremely appetizing.

But just as the torch got closer, the "Earth Listening String" beside him moved his ears slightly, and his expression suddenly changed, "Get out of the way!"

Li Yan reacted quickly, pulling Wu Ba and jumping down.

boom!
With a loud bang, the wall where they were standing before exploded, and bricks and stones fell like raindrops.

The other side also has gunmen,

And he used a technique of escape to cover it up!

Li Yan had sharp eyes and saw flickering fire on the roof near the Sanqing Temple. The thick fog dispersed, revealing a human figure with formation flags around him.

The Dragon Worship Cult also arranged gunmen!
Although Li Yan was annoyed, he was not surprised.

With the emergence of new gunpowder and its great effectiveness in the Southwest War, this thing has come onto the stage and will change the landscape of the world.

No matter how powerful a master is, he can be shot dead if he is not careful.

This kind of situation will happen more and more in the future.

The other people who came with Zhulin Liuxian, as well as Grandma Jin, were also frightened and jumped off the wall.

Before they could think about it, sword lights were already approaching.

"Be careful of hidden guns!"

Li Yan gave a warning and went forward with a knife.

"You guys break the formation, and I'll leave him to me!"

"Leather Painter" Cui Bai responded in a deep voice, then he pulled the bag behind him and shook it violently, and immediately pulled out a shadow puppet.

Different from the ones commonly used in shadow puppetry, this puppet is almost the size of a child and is dressed in a blue shroud, with white powder on the face and red circles on the cheeks, which looks very strange.

Cui Bai has the best relationship with Situ Bo. He is also from a side family. His family has been running a funeral supplies shop for generations. Later, he was framed and his family fell into poverty. He ran to the funeral home to see corpses at a young age.

Although his fate was full of twists and turns, he met a remarkable man in the charity cemetery and learned the skills of a leather painter, thus officially entering the Taoist sect.

He picked up the shadow puppet, bit his middle finger, and quickly drew talismans on it. At the same time, he stared at the figure on the roof of the Sanqing Temple and chanted a spell.

"Hehehe~"

A strange child's laughter was heard.

The shadow puppet seemed to come alive, floating in the wind, and lying down in the air, moving its arms and making movements similar to raising a gun to change the magazine.

Almost exactly the same as the person on the roof opposite.

"Certainly!"

Cui Bai snorted coldly, turned the dagger around, and nailed the shadow puppet to the ground.

The shadow puppet suddenly squeaked and twitched wildly.

The figure on the roof opposite was also trembling all over and unable to move.

This is some kind of spell from the craftsman sect.

Folk magicians like this, especially craftsmen, usually have some strange magic to protect themselves. Although they are unconventional, they are quite powerful.

Once the spell is cast, the opponent will not be able to attack again even if he does not die.

This, however, relieved everyone's worries. Without the threat of the black gun, they could finally concentrate on dealing with the sword formation.

The sword formation of Qingyang Palace is really difficult to deal with.

Although the Taoist who set up the formation was far less powerful than any of them, the sword formation was meant to gather the strength of everyone.

For example, in the battle of Shennongjia, the Wudang Taoists set up a sword formation and were even able to keep out the reincarnated leader of the Tiansheng Sect.

Although Qingyang Palace is not as famous as Wudang, its heritage is more ancient. Moreover, the sword techniques left behind in this holy land of sword immortals in Shu are naturally different.

The robes of many Taoists fluttered, the sword lights flashed like rain, and they galloped and leaped. Everyone felt dazzled and felt that they were besieged by more than a dozen swords at the same time, and the attack was continuous, with no chance to breathe.

Fortunately, they had profound skills and were able to defeat the enemy with force.

But the changes in this formation are truly exquisite. In addition, the Taoists in Qingyang Palace have all been possessed by demons, and the sword blades are shrouded in evil spirits, so any attempts to use magic will often be interfered with.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Li Yan blocked several swords in succession and retreated quickly.

In order to practice the Northern Emperor's Divine Movement Technique, he needed to comprehend the Qimen Dunjia. After Wang Daoxuan's guidance, he could vaguely see something strange.

This Liangyi sword formation has the yin and yang dual pivots.

It should be based on the Yin-Yang transformation of the Book of Changes, and divided into two formations, "Heaven Yang and Earth Yin". The key is to find the main formation...

Although he only saw the general situation, Yue San'er in the team was a true geomancer. He listened attentively while resisting, and then reminded loudly: "Kanli!"

Although the words were simple, everyone understood their meaning.

Looking towards the direction of Kanli, there were indeed two Taoists standing there. They seemed to be waving swords with flashing lights, but they were standing still, as if they were commanding a sword formation.

The evil energy of the entire sword formation also flowed along with their sword moves.

"Help me, everyone!"

Li Yan let out a low shout and suddenly exerted force with his feet.

He used the Northern Emperor's Divine Movement Technique, his figure flashed, and he stepped on sword lights and headed towards the direction of Kanli.

Seeing this, the others also exerted their strength to contain the sword formation. Li Yan was very fast, but the Taoists also noticed something was wrong and immediately changed positions. The seven swords used the "Three Yang Kaitai" to pierce his throat.

There were also eight Taoists who jumped and changed positions, their Taoist robes fluttered and they twisted their wrists, using the "Earthly Evil Heart Transmission" to attack his lower body.

Chi Chi Chi!
The murderous energy of the sword gathered and actually drew sword marks in the snow in mid-air, the snow splashed everywhere, and the murderous intent was chilling.

When ordinary people encounter this, they can only retreat.

However, Li Yan did not dodge at all.

Clang!

The sword roared like a dragon, and two soul-breaking flying knives suddenly flew out from beside him, flashing rapidly in the air, as fast as light and shadow.

The Soul-Breaking Flying Knife was also made of top-quality spiritual materials. With just a clanging sound, many sword blades were instantly cut off.

Li Yan also chopped left and right and came to the front of the Taoist priest in the main formation.

These two men are older, both middle-aged.

Seeing Li Yan attacking, they still did not dodge, but turned sideways, immediately exchanged positions, and used swordsmanship to block.

The sword's moves were sometimes hard and sometimes strange.

A sword move with great force.

What was even more bizarre was that the evil energy around them suddenly gathered together, and the two of them were shrouded in black mist, like escaped ghosts, with only their eyes flashing red.

Li Yan didn't know that this move was called "Yin Yang Yao Lock" and "Ziwu Tide Rising". It seemed like just a change of position, but combined with the demon's energy and sword power, it had formed a trap to strangle the enemy.

However, since he dared to enter the battle alone, he must have been well prepared.

Li Yan quickly made a gesture with his left hand and wiped the blade. Suddenly, there were crackling flashes of lightning and arcs of electricity.

The new Dust-Breaking Sword is a Dragon-Slaying Sword, and it was reforged by the weapon-refining master Huotoutuo. It must be treated with thunder magic to show its true power.

Li Yan wielded the lightning blade without dodging or evading, and directly slashed upwards.

Clang!
A dragon roared, and the Taoist who was in the Kan position was cut into two pieces from the waist up, along with his sword.

Amidst the flying of blood and flesh, Li Yan pulled out a flintlock rifle from his waist, turned around and pulled the trigger.

boom!
With a loud bang, the Taoist priest who had left his position, along with the sword-wielding attackers around him, flew backwards like rag dolls.

The person in the main formation was killed, and the sword formation immediately stopped running smoothly.

Without the suppression of evil spirit, other people can also perform magic.

The short knives in the tea-gu girl's hands flew up and down, and green mist spread from her sleeves, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

However, the fragrance contains poison.

The faces of the surrounding blades turned dark and they fell to the ground one after another.

If she were alone, it would be easy to deal with, but there was an even more ruthless Grandma Jin in the team. Although she was old and injured, she was even better at using poison.

She waved the dragon-headed cane and chanted a spell at the same time.

Call ~
Suddenly, strong winds blew up, pushing the tea poison to the left and right, and more Taoists fell to the ground.

Others also displayed their magical skills.

Yue San'er dodged left and right, plucking the strings of his erhu. Amid the mournful and heavy sound of the erhu, the Taoists around him stiffened all over, and then their bodies were shredded by the metal wires...

The figure of Wen Song, the "Yin Yang Pen", flashed and turned into a series of afterimages. At the same time, the iron pen in his hand flew around, accompanied by a puffing sound. The Taoists along the way bled from their fatal points and fell to the ground...

Their moves were ferocious and they shattered the sword formation into pieces in a matter of seconds.

But it was a tough time for Wu Ba, who had finally loaded the ammunition, but because everyone was mixed in the formation, he didn't dare to fire at will, and he was so anxious that he was scratching his head.

"Roar!"

He roared, and simply put down the Tiger Cannon, like a bear charging into a flock of sheep, using Bajiquan to his fullest, with the sound of bones cracking in unison...

The crowd attacked without mercy, and in just a few breaths, nearly half of the Taoists were killed.

The sword formation was broken, and the remaining ones were no match.

"Everyone, I'll go first!"

Seeing that the situation was stable, Li Yan's hidden strength burst out from his feet. The sword light flashed along with his figure. He cut a bloody path and rushed towards Dou Mu Palace along the corridor beside him.

The remaining demonic Taoists wanted to stop them, but Wu Ba and Zhu Lin Liu Xian were even more ferocious, shuttling back and forth, and no one could stop them...

Leaving everyone behind, Li Yan moved even faster.

Most of the Taoists from Qingyang Palace were in the sword formation, so there were no obstacles along the way. It only took a few breaths to reach the outside of Doumu Palace.

Sure enough, something has happened here.

The original altar was presided over by the Taoist priest of Qingyang Palace.

But now, most of them are dead. On the ground beside the altar, there are more than a dozen old Taoists lying in a mess. Their faces are dark blue, their hair and beards are white, and they all have the look of death with eyes open.

These are the main forces of Qingyang Palace.

But from the looks of it, they had been ambushed and poisoned, and none of them survived.

On the altar stood a group of people in black robes, all wearing dragon-patterned masks, waving formation flags and operating magic circles.

Swish!
Just as Li Yan was about to step forward, a young monk suddenly appeared, holding a scimitar, and blocked his way.

The other party was a border resident with deep facial features. He was none other than "Lang Wu", the leader of the Dragon Worshiping Cult who had reincarnated many times to avoid disasters.

The man had a young face but cloudy eyes. He held a scimitar horizontally and stared at Li Yan.

"It's you?!"

Li Yan had seen the appearance of this old foreign monk in the secret realm of the Cemetery, so he recognized him at a glance.

"Hahaha, you still dare to show up in front of me?"

Li Yan was not surprised but happy, and directly held the certificate on his chest.

This old guy must have committed some sin after several reincarnations.

However, there was no reaction when he held the hook.

The other party has a national treasure!
Li Yan immediately understood.

Faced with this situation, if you want to send him into the underworld, you can only use a Gangling Order to summon the Yin soldiers.

However, if you don't accept the task, you will simply lose money.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, Li Yan heard another scream.

With a loud rustling sound, the paint on the surfaces of several statues in the Dou Mu Temple peeled off, and then collapsed and shattered.

The secular gods hiding inside will eventually perish.

At the same time, a huge amount of incense power surged out from the Dou Mu Temple and gathered towards the altar.

Those evil people of the Dragon Worship Cult suddenly went crazy, chanting the Dragon God's Treasure Edict and kneeling before the altar.

They are all loyal believers of Lord Jiangshen.

However, if they knew that the dragon god they worshipped had been possessed by a celestial being and had his spiritual power taken away, they would probably go crazy.

Seeing this, Li Yan didn't care about anything else. He just held the hook letter, stepped on the Gang Step, and chanted: "Qingjia! The sky is black above, the earth is black below, the sky is dark, the earth is dark, the Yin people send troops, the Yang people retreat..."

If the Dragon Cult succeeds, the Dragon Girl will disappear completely.

Having put in so much effort, Li Yan naturally didn't want to give up halfway.

"Boy looking for death!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Worshiping Sect Leader "Lang Wu" became furious.

However, he had no time to stop it.

Call ~
The wind was howling all around and it suddenly became dark.

The dark shadow visible to the naked eye quickly spread outward with Li Yan as the center...

"Humph!"

"Lang Wu" finally lost his composure and became furious. He took out the bronze vertical-eyed mask from his arms and put it on his head.

"So you took it!"

There was murderous intent in Li Yan's eyes.

He knows why this thing was forged.

Most likely it is a magical weapon that can restrain Master Erlang...
