Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 312 No Head
A stream of gray light suddenly slashed out, hitting the wooden fish hard, sending it flying far away.

The broken arm grabbed nothing and waved it angrily in the air, making a dull whistle, as if venting its dissatisfaction.

Ning Yan widened his eyes in shock, never expecting that there would be an unexpected turn of events at this critical moment.

Although he didn't know the origin of the gray light, he felt a familiar aura from it.

Without having time to think about it, he quickly came to his senses and focused on the battle in front of him.

Such an opportunity rarely comes, and we must not let this broken arm have any chance of recovery.

"Lulujia, it's now!"

Ning Yan shouted in a deep voice, and his thoughts were connected with Liuliu Jia.

The purple light all around Liuliujia became stronger, like a burning purple flame, and he rushed towards the broken arm at an even faster speed. His figure left a trail of afterimages in the air, and each time he shuttled back and forth, there was a sharp whistling sound.

Ning Yan tightly grasped the Yu-shaped stele with both hands, mobilized all the strength in his body, and poured it into the stele. The stele shone with brilliant light, like a small sun, emitting a chilling aura, and smashed towards the broken arm like an arrow.

The Broken Arm seemed to sense an unprecedented threat and no longer attacked blindly as before. Instead, it retreated cautiously, trying to resist the attacks of Ning Yan and Liuliujia.

However, its attacks were resolved time and time again with the tacit cooperation of Ning Yan and Liuliu Jia.

Ning Yan seized the opportunity and mobilized the stone tablet with the word "Yu" on it. The stone tablet smashed towards the shoulder of the broken arm with a tremendous force.

With a loud "bang", a deep crack appeared on the shoulder of the broken arm, and black blood gushed out like a fountain.

Liuliujia also took advantage of the situation and turned into a purple sharp blade, stabbing at the wrist of the broken arm.

The broken arm swung violently, trying to shake off the armor, but the armor twisted its body flexibly to avoid the attack of the broken arm, and successfully left a long wound on its wrist.

The strength of the broken arm was constantly weakening, and its movements were becoming slower and slower, but it still fought stubbornly, unwilling to be defeated.

At this moment, the mysterious gray light appeared again.

It was like a ghostly shadow, spinning rapidly around the broken arm. Every time it spun, the broken arm would tremble, as if it had suffered great damage.

Ning Yan no longer hesitated, and together with the Liuliujia beside him, he launched a final attack on the broken arm.

He gathered all his strength on the stone tablet with the word "Yu" on it. The light emitted by the stone tablet illuminated the entire space, and then he smashed it hard into the elbow of the broken arm.

At the same time, the armor turned into a purple light and pierced the wrist of the broken arm.

Under the full force attack of Ning Yan and Liuliu Jia, the broken arm finally couldn't hold on.

With a loud bang, it exploded completely.

Black blood and minced meat were splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell.

Affected by this powerful impact, Ning Yan and Liuliu Jia were knocked back more than ten feet and almost fell to the ground.

After a long while, Ning Yan struggled to stand up, gasping for breath.

His body was covered with scars, his clothes were stained with blood, his strength was almost exhausted, and even his mental strength was greatly consumed. It could be said that he was weakest than ever before.

As for Liuliujia standing aside, although he did not suffer much damage, he has fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption.

Ning Yan did not delay and immediately put it into the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl so that it could recuperate.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from nearby. The crisp sound echoed in the hall, and soon a tall figure walked out of the darkness.

It was Guan Ruoyu.

Ning Yan was not surprised at all after seeing the other party.

Because he was familiar with the other party, he had already figured out the other party's identity through the previous attacks.

However, this familiarity was only one-sided. After all, he had been in contact with the other party as a medicine inspector before. Now, the other party did not recognize his true identity, so he had to be more careful.

While he was thinking, Guan Ruoyu had already walked closer.

Ning Yan immediately pretended to have met a benefactor, with a grateful look on his face, and bowed his hands to express his gratitude:
"I am Ning Yan, thank you for your help."

Guan Ruoyu looked at him strangely, wanting to say something, but suddenly changed her mind when the words came to her lips:

"My name is Yu Ruotian, I am a casual cultivator, saving you is just a coincidence, no need to be polite."

Ah, it has a new name.

Ning Yan secretly complained in his heart, but he also felt it was normal.

After all, the Lingzhi Sect has a bad reputation, and revealing its origins will only make people wary.

The two sides exchanged brief greetings, and then the topic turned to the severed arm.

"May I ask Brother Ning if you know the origin of that severed arm?"

Ning Yan thought about it and replied:

"According to my guess, the severed arm should be a relic of a third-level expert."

He then informed the other party of the relevant information about the remains of the immortal tomb.

Just like Ning Yan, after understanding the general situation, Guan Ruoyu also felt that the original owner of the severed arm should be related to the relics of the immortal tomb.

When the immortal tomb's treasure was first opened, many third-level powerhouses must have died on the spot due to its influence.

In addition, there must be people who have been transformed into so-called filth.

The severed arm just now should be a kind of filth.

Similar to the swarm humanoids encountered before.

But its danger is obviously far greater than that of the swarm humanoid.

"Speaking of that wooden fish..."

Guan Ruoyu saw Ning Yan's eyes fall on the wooden fish in her hand, but replied calmly:

"This wooden fish should be a very special magical instrument, which has the effect of creating illusions and corroding other people's minds. As for its other functions, we are still exploring them."

Having said this, she paused again and continued:
"It's just a pity that this wooden fish is obviously in a damaged state, and has been affected by the filth for many years. In a sense, it is almost like an evil weapon. Unless it is like the severed arm, a normal warrior will have to bear a considerable price to use it."

Ning Yan nodded, and he understood this very well.

Generally speaking, since entering this underground Polaris Palace, everything encountered, whether it was spiritual weapons or enemies, was almost all in a state of destruction.

In a sense, this is a good thing for them.

Because those spiritual artifacts were originally in the hands of various enemies, if the spiritual artifacts were intact, the enemies would be too powerful and would not give them any chance to seize them, and they would be killed on the spot. It can be said that it was precisely because of the incompleteness of those spiritual artifacts that they were able to survive until now and even gain a lot.

"What are your plans next?"

Hearing Ning Yan's question, Guan Ruoyu thought for a moment and said:

"I came here through a one-way teleportation array, and there is no other way back now. Even if there is, it is probably full of dangers. In this case, it is better to continue exploring inside. According to my thinking, if we can solve the mystery of the core area, all the traps outside will not be a problem."

Ning Yan smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid the mystery inside is simply beyond our ability to solve."

"No matter what, we have to go and take a look. If we stay here all the time, there's no way to get out, right?"

Guan Ruoyu didn't care.

Ning Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Well, let's go a little deeper. Maybe there will be some kind of turning point later."

After agreeing to explore together, Ning Yan rested for a while before starting the follow-up actions.

Compared with before, he has gained a lot more confidence in subsequent exploration.

This extra confidence was given by Guan Ruoyu.

Although she is at the peak of Silk Power, her actual combat ability is estimated to be no weaker than any opponent below the third realm.

With this help, subsequent exploration will certainly be more confident.

After a little preparation, the two of them headed deeper into the cave. There was an eerie silence along the way. Occasionally, a few unknown noises echoed in the empty stone road, adding a bit of eeriness.

Ning Yan and Guan Ruoyu walked side by side, vigilantly observing the movements around them.

As Ning Yan walked, he secretly practiced magic to repair the damaged meridians in his body. Although he had rested before, it was only temporary and he had to continue recovering.

Guan Ruoyu tightly grasped the wooden fish in her hand and glanced around sharply. Although she said that the wooden fish was broken and looked like an evil weapon, it might still come in handy in this unknown environment.

As we walked, a huge stone gate appeared in front of us.

The stone door was engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. The two looked at each other and saw caution in each other's eyes.

"I wonder what's hidden behind this stone door."

Ning Yan said in a low voice.

Guan Ruoyu nodded slightly:
"Whatever it is, be careful with it."

The two approached the stone door cautiously. When they were still a few steps away from the stone door, the runes suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light. Then, the stone door vibrated slowly, making a dull sound, and slowly opened to both sides.

A stale and decayed smell hit them in the face, and they subconsciously covered their mouths and noses. When the light faded a little, they could see the scene behind the stone door clearly.

It was an extremely quiet hall, much smaller in scale than the previous ones. The decoration inside was also ordinary, exuding an old atmosphere. It looked like a side hall.

The two stepped in, observing every corner vigilantly.

Ning Yan's hand was always on the stone tablet with the word "Yu" on it, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Guan Ruoyu also took out the Dangshan Seal, and his eyes were sharp, not missing any suspicious signs.

However, not long after they moved forward, the originally peaceful side hall became filled with blood and flesh fragments in the blink of an eye.

Those pieces of flesh and blood seemed to have life, constantly wriggling and rolling. Soon, the entire hall, including the pillars and beams inside, revealed a horrible appearance made of flesh and blood. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.

Ning Yan and Guan Ruoyu stared in astonishment. Before they could recover from the horrifying scene, the passage behind them suddenly closed with a dull bang. At the same time, the flesh and blood that filled the air began to solidify and turned into countless monsters of various shapes, rushing towards them with bared fangs and claws.

These monsters were made purely of skinless flesh and blood, and their appearance was extremely horrifying. Each one looked like a horrible piece of flesh that had been skinned off alive and exposed to the world.

Their muscle tissue was completely exposed, and the criss-crossing blood vessels were like wriggling earthworms, clearly visible among the bright red flesh. Thick blood oozed out uncontrollably from the ruptured blood vessels, dripping onto the ground along the texture of the muscles, and instantly gathered on the ground into pools of blood emitting a strong fishy smell.

Among them was a monster of gigantic stature, more than two people tall, with bulging muscles like mounds of flesh that could burst at any time, and limbs that were disproportionately thick. With every step, his muscles rolled and surged like waves, causing the surrounding air to vibrate dully.

The small monsters were like a group of frantically wriggling fleshworms. Their bodies had no fixed shape, constantly twisting and deforming, and moving through the hall at a terrifying speed.

Ning Yan's pupils shrank, and he immediately activated the Feather stone tablet and smashed it hard on the monsters.

Unexpectedly, it was smashed to pieces on the spot with one blow.

But soon, the scattered flesh and blood quickly condensed together, and formed new flesh and blood monsters, which surrounded and killed him.

Ning Yan couldn't help but frowned slightly upon seeing this. In a scene like this, if he didn't find a way to solve the root cause of the flesh and blood monster's revival, he would probably have to keep fighting with it, and eventually be exhausted to death by it.

To solve this problem, unless the source of their revival is found, the only way is to use powerful external force to completely crush the flesh and blood into powder, making it difficult for them to reconstruct their bodies.

However, although he holds the stone tablet with the word "Yu" on it, he is not in good condition yet and it is difficult for him to do this.

Ning Yan couldn't help but look at Guan Ruoyu on the other side.

Guan Ruoyu raised her arm lightly, and the Dangshan Seal instantly shone with dazzling light, like a scorching sun descending from nowhere into this bloody hall. Wherever the light reached, those terrifying monsters made of skinless flesh and blood seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and they collapsed one after another.

The huge monsters, with their originally bulging muscles, were cut by a sharp blade and instantly shattered into countless pieces of flesh and blood. Their disproportionately thick limbs were easily broken like fragile branches under the light of the Dangshan Seal, and their muscle tissues turned into a bloody rain. Those muscles that rolled and surged like waves disappeared in the light before they could make any more struggles.

The small fleshy worm-like monsters, originally relying on their strange speed and constantly twisting and deforming bodies, shuttled freely in the hall. At this moment, in front of the powerful force of the Dangshan Seal, they had nowhere to hide. When the light swept past, these fleshy worms were like being ignited by a blazing flame, and instantly turned into ashes, leaving only a wisp of burnt and smelly smell.

However, in just a blink of an eye, the pieces of flesh and blood that had been slaughtered began to rapidly condense again.

Guan Ruoyu frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and the spiritual power in her body surged towards the Dangshan Seal without reservation. The Dangshan Seal shone brightly and shuttled through the field at a high speed.

The monsters that gathered again were severely suppressed by this more powerful force before they could fully take shape. They were completely crushed into powder and had no power to revive.

Ning Yan stood aside, watching all this, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

He was originally holding the stone tablet with the word "Yu" in it, ready to provide support at any time, but now he found that he could hardly help. Guan Ruoyu's strength was far beyond his imagination. With such a powerful companion by his side, the battle became so easy.

Soon, all the terrifying monsters on the field were eliminated by Guan Ruoyu.

The hall was filled with a strong smell of blood mixed with a burnt smell, which was nauseating.

If not for this, one would think the battle just now was just an illusion.

Guan Ruoyu put away the Dangshan Seal, with a hint of disgust between her brows.

Then Ning Yan's solemn voice was heard coming from the side.

"Something's not right."

"Why is there no head in this flesh and blood?"
