Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 66: An Adventure in the Inner City, a Total Destruction

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that this was the An Ning Mansion where I had lived for more than ten years..."

Chen Jing came to the outer city area.

At this time, night was falling, the moonlight was like fog, and the abandoned houses were swallowed up by bushes, with only scattered ruins remaining.

The air was filled with the smell of soil and rotten wood. The cobblestone road seemed to have been abandoned for decades and had become bumpy. The stone lanterns on both sides were vaguely visible, guarding the silent long street.

The two walked slowly along the street, stepping over a loose tile that made a crisp cracking sound.

How did it become like this?

Looking at all the unfamiliar things, Chen Jing was completely confused.

Hua Qingxia took out a small green bottle from the storage bag and dripped emerald green liquid into it. The liquid burned in mid-air and turned into a small flame suspended in the air.

She stretched out her hand, dragging the small flame, and walked to Chen Jing's side.

“When one starts practicing from the fourth level, one has the ability to change the world;
This fourth-order demon is not ordinary. Its domain of gods and ghosts is very large. It must have swallowed the mysterious scenery of the Nine-Layered Mountain and refined it into its domain, which is why it can cover the entire inner and outer city.

Follow me, this flame will keep us from getting lost."

See Chen Jing following.

Hua Qingxia nodded slightly and continued, "The changes in the realm of gods and ghosts are just illusions. After they are broken, everything will return to its original state. But if time drags on for too long, there will be nothing we can do. We need to hurry up."

"Ah."

Chen Jing took two steps closer to her.

The journey was quiet and long, passing through a dilapidated market. The wooden door of the blacksmith shop passed by was corroded, and the wind chimes swayed in the breeze, making a sad tinkling sound.

In the empty pharmacy, the smell of withered herbs mixed with the dust, exuding an ancient and distant flavor.

To the inner city entrance.

Everywhere you look, you can see the city walls are broken and the gates are half open.

The wind blew through the empty city wall, making a whimpering sound.

"Be careful." Hua Qingxia whispered softly.

"it is good."

It only took a moment for me to agree.

Chen Jing suddenly saw a bright light, and the faint sound of laughter and human figures.

His eyes were dazed and he walked forward towards the voice.

Turning the corner, there is a bustling street with colorful lanterns hanging on the roadside, swaying and shining.

The vendors carried their poles and shouted their wares one after another. The aroma of sweet candied haws, greasy barbecue, and various snacks intertwined in the air. Street performers showed off their unique skills, such as acrobatics, face-changing, and diabolo, attracting passers-by to stop and watch, with cheers and laughter ringing in the ears.

At this time.

A powerful singing voice came from behind.

"The wilderness is filled with blood, and the corpses are piled up in the mountains with nowhere to bury them..."

Chen Jing turned around and looked.

I don't know when a stage was set up behind me.

The audience gathered in a circle, standing or sitting, and watched the performance on stage with full concentration.

On the ancient stage.

A military general dressed in armor glared at him, chopped him down with a shining sword in his hand, and sang opera text.

"A mouthful of rage burst out!"

The broadsword drew a startling flash from top to bottom. Chen Jing's eyes regained clarity and he broke out in a cold sweat. In an instant, his muscles became as strong as if they were inflated. He clasped his hands together to block the broadsword.

The actors and generals screamed loudly, their painted red faces seemed to be dripping with blood, but they could not bring their swords to drop.

drink!
Chen Jing pushed the actor and general to the ground with brute force, then rushed forward and punched him hard, causing the ground to shake.

"Chen Jing, what are you doing!"

At this time.

Hua Qingxia's voice came from the side.

"Be careful of sneak attacks... eh?" Chen Jing turned over and stood up, but there was no actors or generals around, only an empty stage.

The stage looked particularly eerie under the moonlight. The painted decorations on the stage had peeled off, and there was only a big sword stuck on the weapon rack with a tattered costume strung on it.

"What did you see?" Hua Qingxia held the small candle and looked at him worriedly, "Just now you suddenly ran towards a place and pounded the ground, as if you were fighting with something."

"Didn't you see? I just saw a lot of people here..."

Chen Jing recounted what he had seen and heard, then he exclaimed, his attention drawn to the big knife on the stage.

He jumped onto the stage and pulled out the rotten sword.

Faintly, the general's angry shout seemed to echo.

"I cannot eat your flesh in this life. I will come back when you take over the throne!"

The opera singing gradually faded away, and the costumes hanging on it turned to ashes.

The last spell that remained in his mind was a spell called "Heaven-cutting".

Chen Jing smiled and said, "I seem to have acquired an attacking spell, I wonder if it is powerful or not."

Hua Qingxia's eyes flashed with envy, and she said, "It's probably because this tree demon swallowed up the mysterious scene in the Nine Layers Mountain in one gulp, and some of the opportunities inside were not digested in time, so they manifested in the realm of gods and ghosts."

Although she was a descendant of the Qingnang Sect and had everything she needed, she had never experienced anything like this.

Chen Jingze said: "I finally left this secret realm. If I didn't go to the secret realm, the secret realm would find me."

At this moment, he really felt that he might be the protagonist of the world.

At this time.

A faint flame flickered.

Hua Qingxia looked down, thought for a moment, and pointed in a direction: "Let's go over there."

"Ah."

Chen Jing nodded, and suddenly she took his hand. She said seriously: "This way you won't be bewitched by the realm of gods and ghosts and lose your direction."

"Thank you, Teacher Xia."

"But if you come across any treasures later, they will be mine."

"……Fine."

Chen Jing felt that he needed to change his bad habit of being easily moved.

I didn't meet the baby again along the way.

Follow Teacher Xia’s instructions.

Sure enough, there were unusual fluctuations coming from the front. Huge branches were seen reaching down from the swirling sky, violently attacking the magnificent buildings below again and again.

And below.

The light of spells and magic weapons intertwined, talismans danced, and terrible collisions broke out in the sky, breaking the branches that fell from the sky.

"It's the nobles in the inner city who are under attack."

"They can't hold on any longer."

"what to do."

Chen Jing asked, and Hua Qingxia immediately pulled him back and said, "Of course, stay away from them."

"Teacher Xia, do you really have a pure heart?"

"I'm not stupid!"

The two left in a hurry, and not long after, they heard the angry roar of a Xuanyin-stage cultivator behind them.

In an instant, terrible fluctuations brewed, tremors, and earth-shattering ripples spread out, cutting off all the roots in the sky. At the same time, the destructive force spread to the surroundings.

Everything around was like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, buildings were destroyed in large numbers, and the earth was torn into pieces.

"Run quickly! The powerful families have used up all their power and are about to perish together!"

Hua Qingxia was horrified, and was picked up by Chen Jing by the waist the next second. He revealed his true martial arts form, activated the acceleration talisman at the same time, and ran as fast as he could, but was still swept up by the fatal aftermath from behind.

At the last moment, he only had time to crawl on the spot and try his best to protect Hua Qingxia. Then there was a deafening noise and he could not sense anything.
