As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 38 Killing Formation

"Damn it."

Xu Yan frowned slightly.

The Dream-Breaking Blade circled around his ankle, leaving a black line as thin as a hair, from which a round drop of black blood oozed out.

The blood bead seemed to have life and wanted to drill back into Xu Yan's body.

But he bounced it onto the wall of the cave, and with a "hiss", it turned into black smoke with bared fangs and claws.

It is an insignificant wronged soul.

At some point, it was implanted into his body by the eldest brother and locked onto their coordinates.

"go!"

Xu Yan threw all the Blood Thorn Squad's equipment to Long Jianhuan, and took a few incendiary bombs and a signal gun for himself.

"The darker the jungle, the safer it is. Places that appear to be sparsely wooded and full of sunlight are actually deadly traps."

Xu Yan said anxiously, "If you come to a fork in the road, turn left. If you really get lost, look under your feet to see if there is a plant that looks like a red mimosa. Poke it and walk in the direction where it curls up. Hold on for ten minutes, and I will fire a flare. Then you can attract the Old Monsters and run in the direction of the flare!"

Before he could finish his words, a large number of vines emerged from the cave wall, crisscrossing each other as if to seal the cave entrance.

Xu Yan cut the vines into pieces with one knife and rushed out of the cave dragging the female operator.

Then I saw a huge and deformed figure standing in the gray fog that was wriggling on the top of the hill.

It’s the eldest brother.

At first glance, the eldest brother was seriously injured and looked extremely miserable.

Two huge black sickles crossed and slashed into his body, almost splitting him into three halves.

The corrosive force from the phantom demon civilization transformed into black worms, madly biting the flesh and blood of the cultivators.

Even the eldest brother who was parasitized by the "Fairy from the Sky" was trembling with pain and groaning.

If you look closely, you can see that behind the two black sickles are Dr. Hyde's arms.

At the end of the arms, there were a lot of bloody organs, including a heart.

Just as Xu Yan expected.

No one can challenge the true disciple of a Jindan elder at the gate of Wanhun Sect.

The demons of the first era were ultimately no match for the foundation-building demon cultivators.

At the same time, the eldest brother also discovered the target.

The sinister laugh and the blood-colored mist surging from his body expanded at the same time, transforming into blood arrows surrounded by wronged souls, piercing towards the two people at the bottom of the slope.

"Small--"

Xu Yan was about to remind Long Jianhuan to be careful.

"Whoosh", a gust of wind brushed past his cheek, blowing away a few strands of hair.

A huge rock covered with moss, about as tall as a person, was lifted up by Long Jianhuan with his bare hands, thrown in an astonishing arc, crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and slammed heavily onto the top of the slope.

"..."

Xu Yan discovered that this woman was really good at fighting.

Her fist is her guardian spirit.

Even the eldest brother was startled. He opened his bloody mouth like a crab claw chrysanthemum and roared at Long Jianhuan.

Long Jianhuan's response was a boulder that was four times larger and two people taller.

When the huge rock fell like a meteorite, creating a mountain of smoke and dust, even the foundation-building demon cultivators had to retreat.

"Come on!"

Long Jianhuan swung up the third boulder and said, "I'll cover you!"

Xu Yan nodded.

I found that the female operator had completely wasted her talent.

So why are you going undercover? With your amazing physical strength, wouldn't it be great if you could just punch Dr. Hyde and the others in the head and blow them off?

Xu Yan ran away.

Behind him came the angry roar of the female operator and the angry roar of the eldest brother.

In the bushes ahead, countless fungus corpses were wriggling, and the sound of soul-chasing bells could be heard, "ding-ling, ding-ling."

His former companions, the corpse-drivers of the Myriad Souls Sect, emerged in droves. Seeing their deformed, agonized forms, their lives worse than death, Xu Yan sighed inwardly, but his gaze gradually grew firmer.

"Let me bring you the last bit of dignity!"

Xu Yan swung the Dream-Breaking Sword, leaving behind a sharp afterimage.

The card reader on my arm buzzed.

The seal was lifted, and "Lin" in energy form gushed out from the blade, condensing into heavy armor like a black iron battle fortress in mid-air, and smashed into the numerous fungus corpses with a roar.

As the two-handed giant sword danced like a storm of destruction, the fungus corpse was torn into pieces and turned into wisps of black smoke amid screams.

Xu Yan drove straight into the black smoke as if he was in an empty space, reaching the deepest part of the jungle.

"It should be here."

Although the plants and trees were completely different from before he stepped into the Human Emperor Banner.

The direction of the surrounding mountains and the layout of the streams can still be vaguely seen.

Xu Yan's eyes were as fast as lightning, scanning every moss-covered boulder and ancient tree with crawling vines around him, and locked onto a high, raised area of ​​humus with blooming flowers that were overly bright.

Two incendiary bombs were thrown at the humus, but they were shattered in mid-air by the Dream-Breaking Sword before they hit the ground.

A small-scale meteor shower made the humus sizzle.

The flowers burned out and the fungal blanket withered and charred.

The fungal mat that was not affected by the flames retreated like a tide, revealing a collapsed land temple.

Among the ruins, stands a bronze statue that looks like a nine-headed bird.

Nine heads with pointed beaks and long eyes, hanging on nine long snake-like necks, stared blankly in all directions.

This is the "ghost car".

A legendary beast that eats human souls.

An idol worshipped by the corpse-drivers of the Wanhun Sect.

"Dingle bell, dinged bell!"

The four soul-driving bells rolled nimbly between Xu Yan's fingers, transforming into four golden streams of light, and emitted intricate and slightly mysterious bell sounds.

The ringing of the bell awakened the power deep within the "Ghost Car". The nine heads, originally facing the jungle in all directions, turned silently towards Xu Yan. The eighteen eyeballs, moving with difficulty in the rust, stared straight at him.

This is the first line of defense guarding the Wanhun Sect's mountain gate, and the core of the "Ghost Car Formation" that can give warnings and defend against enemies.

Xu Yan swallowed hard.

As the best among the corpse drivers, he once presided over the ghost car formation for a period of time. He knew the method of driving the formation, but had never opened it.

At this point in time, it was unknown how much time had passed since he stepped into the Human Emperor Banner in the Wanhun Sect.

If the Ghost Chariot Formation is also eroded by the Celestial Immortals and becomes inoperable...

Xu Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to focus.

"Snapped!"

The signal flares burst into fireworks that looked like blood between the ancient sky and earth.

As he practiced the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique, veins appeared on Xu Yan's arms, and his muscles trembled rhythmically, inhaling and exhaling waves of power.

He grasped the second head of the ghost car statue, causing the long neck with its delicate structure and nested rings to vibrate with his breathing.

For a moment, nothing happened.

His power was like a drop in the ocean, unable to create even a single ripple.

The next second, precise biting and turning sounds were heard from within the Ghost Car statue. The runes around the statue, which were blocked by moss and silt, began to spew out dark golden spiritual flames, becoming crystal clear and clearly visible.

"It's done!"

Xu Yan was delighted.

however--

"Crack! Click!"

At the same time, deep in the jungle outside the Guiche Temple, giant trees fell to the sides like weeds.

The eldest brother seemed to have gotten rid of Long Jianhuan's entanglement, and had a premonition of what Xu Yan was going to do. He rushed forward like a furious beast, crushing him all the way.

More and more fungus corpses, stimulated by his rage and fear, crawled out from the humus around the Ghost Car Temple and rushed to the center of the formation that was about to be launched.
