Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

In the collapsing hall, a figure rushed over from a distance at a high speed like lightning.

Ning Yan subconsciously tensed his whole body, and the strength in his body instantly reached its peak. He raised his hand and the stone tablet with the word "Yu" turned into a three-foot size, protecting every part of his body.

However, the figure passed by him like a gust of wind and attacked Shao Xinghan behind him.

Shao Xinghan's originally ferocious face instantly turned into one of shock and anger. He never expected that at this critical moment, an uninvited guest would intervene.

Ning Yan looked carefully, his eyes full of shock and confusion, the person coming was actually the deceased Lian Huiyi.

Her body was still the same as when they first met, emitting a strange aura, and her skin was an abnormally pale color, as if it had been eroded by time and death and had lost all vitality. Her eyes were empty and dark, staring at Shao Xinghan, as if filled with endless resentment.

Lian Huiyi's attack was disorganized, yet carried a kind of desperate madness. Her attack speed was extremely fast. Every time she swung her arms, there was a whistling sound of the wind, which smashed towards Shao Xinghan like a sledgehammer.

Shao Xinghan quickly dodged sideways, his body drawing a strange arc in the air. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. The light around him became stronger and stronger, turning into sharp blades, shooting towards Lian Huiyi.

Lian Huiyi showed no fear at all. She did not dodge or evade, allowing the sharp blade to stab her.

The sharp blades pierced her body, making a sound like metal collision and splashing a series of sparks.

She paused for a moment and continued to rush towards Shao Xinghan, her hands like eagle claws, aiming straight for Shao Xinghan's throat.

Shao Xinghan's face darkened, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. A golden barrier instantly appeared in front of him.

Lian Huiyi's attack hit the barrier heavily, making a dull thud. The powerful impact forced her to retreat more than ten feet.

But she did not give up. She suddenly raised her head and let out a roar. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, full of pain and anger.

Then, her body began to swell, and strange lines appeared on the surface of her skin, each line emitting a faint green light.

Her strength surged in an instant, and she rushed towards Shao Xinghan again. This time, her attack was even more fierce, and each blow was as powerful as a tidal wave.

Shao Xinghan didn't dare to take his guard down anymore. His whole body glowed with light and he fought with Lian Huiyi.

The two figures moved quickly in the ruins, and rocks and dust were lifted up by the powerful force, forming a huge dust cloud.

Their attacks collided continuously, making a deafening roar, and rays of light flashed in the dust and fog like lightning in the night sky.

Ning Yan and Guan Ruoyu couldn't help but frown slightly when they saw this.

If Lian Huiyi hadn't suddenly appeared, with the power that Shao Xinghan unleashed at that moment, both of them would have surely died.

The two looked at each other and were about to join the battle to help Lian Huiyi.

However, at this moment, Ning Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong with the environment at the scene.

He stopped subconsciously and looked around vigilantly.

The collapse of the palace had caused all kinds of ruins to pile up on the ground, but with the fight between Lian Huiyi and Shao Xinghan, all the ruins were swept away, and the scene hidden below was completely revealed.

A huge sunken area appeared in front of everyone. In the center of this sunken area, there was an ellipsoidal cocoon.

This cocoon is like a mysterious living being. It glows rhythmically like human breathing. The light flickers, exuding an eerie and mysterious aura.

More than a dozen thick "veins" extend from all around this huge cocoon, connecting to more than a dozen other small cocoons scattered around it.

These small cocoons are translucent, and if you look closely, you can see many human figures inside.

Ning Yan and Guan Ruoyu looked at it carefully, and a chill rose in their hearts.

Most of these human figures are emaciated, with grayish-white skin covered with deep wrinkles, as if a layer of skin is wrapped around a dry bone.

Obviously, they were the remains left after the huge cocoon absorbed their life essence.

Looking across the scene, the four small cocoons in the southeast corner were obviously new. When he saw the figures inside the cocoons, Ning Yan couldn't help but be shocked, because the people trapped inside were Duan Haishan and others.

They originally thought they were lost in other palaces, but they never expected to fall into this place.

At this moment, they were all sleeping peacefully in the small cocoon. The veins connecting the small cocoon bulged from time to time, as if they were absorbing something.

Ning Yan was extremely anxious and rushed towards Duan Haishan and others without hesitation.

Guan Ruoyu glanced at Shao Xinghan and Lian Huiyi who were still fighting fiercely, gritted her teeth, and followed closely behind.

However, before the two men approached the four small cocoons, they were immediately attacked.

Countless silk threads stretched out from the huge cocoon in the middle. These threads were like tentacles, nimbly and quickly attacking them.

Ning Yan reacted extremely quickly, and the stone tablet with the word "Yu" in his hand was instantly driven up, creating a whistling sound, trying to break the silk threads.

However, when the stone tablet hit the silk thread, it was like hitting tough leather. It only caused the silk thread to bend slightly but failed to break it.

These silk threads are not only extremely tough, but also have strong adhesion. Once they touch the stone tablet, they stick to it tightly, making it difficult for Ning Yan to retrieve them.

Seeing this, Guan Ruoyu waved her hands forward, and sharp blades of power shot out from her fingertips and shot towards the silk threads.

The sharp blade hit the silk thread, splashing a series of sparks, but still failed to cut it.

At the same time, the silk threads seemed to have life and quickly changed their shapes. Some turned into ropes and rushed towards them at high speed, trying to tie them up.

Ning Yan and Guan Ruoyu were engaged in a tough battle. They dodged the attacks of the silk threads while looking for countermeasures.

These silk threads were so difficult to tangle with that no matter how they attacked, they could not cause any substantial damage to them.

Instead, they themselves were gradually surrounded by the silk threads.

Just as the two of them were gradually feeling overwhelmed, Guan Ruoyu suddenly seemed to have discovered something and suddenly spoke out:
"Fire of the mind!"

"The fire of the mind can burn these things!"

Ning Yan was stunned for a moment:
"The fire of the mind?"

A transparent flame appeared on Guan Ruoyu's fingertips, which directly burned off a strand of silk thread in front of her, while she explained:
"This is a technique for using the power of the mind. Through extreme anger, the emotions are channeled into the mind, and then the mind is ignited with techniques such as the Spirit Moon Divine Fire Technique, turning it into tangible flames to attack the consciousness space of others. When this transformation reaches its limit, it can even cause physical objects to burn."

When Ning Yan heard this, he immediately understood what she meant.

He originally had a very rough idea of ​​how to use his mental power, but after hearing Guan Ruoyu's explanation, it was as if he had been pointed out a way.

With almost no effort, he immediately performed a technique to ignite his mind, successfully igniting his own mind, creating a fire of mind that began to burn the surrounding silk threads that almost completely wrapped him up.

Guan Ruoyu and Ning Yan simultaneously activated their minds, emitting the fire of their minds. The transparent flames fell towards the silk threads. The moment the silk threads came into contact with the fire of their minds, they immediately made a sizzling sound and burned rapidly, as if real objects were being burned. In just a moment, the difficult silk threads were burned to ashes and dissipated in the air.

The two took advantage of this opportunity, flashed and rushed close to the small cocoon of Duan Haishan and others, ready to launch a rescue.

Ning Yan flew to the small cocoon ball and concentrated on controlling the fire of his mind.

I saw that the small cocoon ball quickly became charred under the burning fire of the mind, making a sizzling sound and emitting a pungent smell.

As the small cocoon gradually burst, a strong stench of decay came to his face. Ning Yan frowned but did not retreat at all.

With a "crack", the small cocoon was finally burned through. Ning Yan was quick-witted and quickly pulled out Duan Haishan who was trapped inside.

At this time, Duan Haishan's face was as pale as paper, his body was limp and lifeless.

Ning Yan put him on the ground, turned around and devoted himself to rescuing other people.

While Ning Yan was rescuing everyone, Guan Ruoyu was constantly fending off the attacking strange threads on the other side.

With the combined efforts of the two, Ji Dinghuang, Qi Ruyue and He Qianyan were rescued one after another.

Ning Yan woke them up one by one, and saw the four of them slowly open their eyes, their eyes full of confusion and weakness.

Their lips were cracked and their bodies were shaking constantly, it was obvious that they were extremely depleted of energy.

"Ning Yan...it's really you..." He Qianyan said weakly, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thanks to you, we were saved..."

Ning Yan looked at their weak appearance, his heart full of concern:

"What on earth happened? How did you get trapped here?"

Ji Dinghuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying in a hoarse voice:
“Since you were teleported away in the palace, we have been searching for your whereabouts. Unexpectedly, during the search, we accidentally entered another palace.

As soon as he entered, he was attacked crazily by a group of blood-colored ants. Those ants had extremely hard bodies and had no sense of pain. There were so many of them that he could never kill them all.

Finally, we had no choice but to retreat and escape along the only stone path, but we ended up stepping into a trap.

By the time we reacted, we had already been caught by that strange cocoon..."

Recalling the horrific scene at that time, a look of fear still remained on his face.

Qi Ruyue also continued with lingering fear:

"The cocoon seemed to have life. After binding us with silk threads, it continuously absorbed our energy.

Although I was half asleep, I could clearly feel my strength being drained away bit by bit. That feeling of despair was really..."

He couldn't help swallowing, his eyes swept towards the still glowing cocoon, filled with fear.

Duan Haishan looked at Ning Yan and sighed, "Thank you so much this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have died here!"

Ning Yan waved his hand and said:
"I'm glad everyone is okay. I've experienced a lot of ups and downs along the way."

While everyone was taking medicine and recovering, he gave a brief account of his past experiences.

According to his guess, the blood-colored ants that attacked Duan Haishan and others were most likely the same as the swarm of humanoids they had encountered before. They were all filthy creatures born from the relics of the immortal tomb, so they were extremely difficult to deal with.

Now it seems that he was quite lucky along the way.

Not only did he successfully inherit the sword manual, he also eliminated the potential hidden dangers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl.

He also successfully avoided these two powerful opponents through the battle between the swarm humanoids and the star beasts, and even obtained the pet beast Liuliujia, which has great potential, in the end.

If he had not touched the one-way teleportation array at that time, but continued to stay with Duan Haishan and the others.

It is possible that everyone will fall into the trap and be captured by the cocoon, with no possibility of escape.

When I think about it this way, I feel extremely lucky.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Ning Yan was about to discuss the next course of action with everyone.

Just then, a loud roar was heard not far away.

Everyone turned around and saw that the fight between Lian Huiyi and Shao Xinghan had entered a white-hot stage.

Lian Huiyi's body was covered with scars. Her corpse, which was harder than gold and iron, now showed many horrific wounds. Some of the wounds were so huge that they almost cut her into pieces.

Under the influence of these injuries, her movements became slow and heavy, and she seemed to have difficulty in attacking.

Shao Xinghan was also feeling uncomfortable. The light on his body flickered and his aura became much weaker.

Lian Huiyi let out a shrill roar and, using her last bit of strength, pounced towards Shao Xinghan.

There was extreme madness burning in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour Shao Xinghan completely.

Shao Xinghan's face was gloomy. He waved his hands and powerful starlight immediately burst out, turning into a sharp sword blade, slashing towards Lian Huiyi.

Lian Huiyi was unable to dodge and was hit by the light blade. Her already broken body was directly cut into two pieces, and each piece flew backwards.

With a "bang", the two halves of Lian Huiyi's body fell heavily to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.

She struggled to stand up, but her broken body gradually turned into smoke and dust. In the end, she could only stare at Shao Xinghan with a pair of dark eyes before disappearing silently.

Although Lian Huiyi was killed on the spot, Shao Xinghan did not show much joy on his face.

At this moment, the light on his body seemed extremely dim, no longer as strong and powerful as before.

Obviously, this battle was also extremely exhausting for him.

When everyone saw this scene, their expressions became quite solemn.

Although Shao Xinghan consumed a lot of energy, he was the leader of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect after all. He had extremely rich combat experience and a variety of methods. Even if his level dropped below the Wanxiang Realm, no one knew what kind of trump cards he had hidden.

This guy is definitely not as easy to deal with as they imagined. If they are not careful, all of them may be left here.

Ning Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Let's send this old man off together." (End of this chapter)
