Chapter 359: Dancing With The Evil Queen Of The Three Holy Flames Civilization
Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie remained silent. Then, with difficulty, they moved backward, quickly distancing themselves from that place.
Old Zhang was really shameless, blatantly setting them up to take the fall.
Wang Xuan's spine was broken and his chest caved in. His bones pierced into his organs, his limbs fractured, and even his fingernails were completely torn off. He left behind a trail of blood, it was indeed a pitiful sight.
He had never encountered such a formidable opponent before, it was rare for him to be like this. He seriously doubted if Old Zhang could defeat him. It was very unlikely!
Chen Yongjie's mouth was filled with blood foam, his arms were twisted into a pretzel-like shape. His chest was dented, and his two arms were barely hanging on by a thread of flesh. His arms were almost completely severed.
"Everyone, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, let's all disperse. Why are you guys clinging to me? If we are destined to meet, we will meet again someday. Let's end it here today." said Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Daoling turned and walked away, but three flames followed and surrounded him. They were like campfires in the night or flames of a civilization spanning across time and space.
The most unsettling part was that there were vague faces emerging from the flames, staring at him blankly. As the scriptures floated down from the void, they burned and illuminated the surroundings.
Zhang Daoling was blocked and was unable to break free. He was unable to kill anyone.
"Old Zhang is in trouble!" Chen Yongjie transmitted his message.
"Don't worry about it, Old Zhang is a bit tricky, let's take care of ourselves first," said Wang Xuan while treating his injuries. This time, it was too brutal for him. He counted his broken bone, and it tallied up to a total of fifty-eight bones.
Eight large holes were punctured in his internal organs, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat that soaked his hair. As he reset his bones, he pulled them outward from his organs, and blood gushed out instantly.
Crack!
With a little force, the bones connecting his arms broke into many pieces again. The bones hung down weakly on both sides of his body. It left his face pale.
Chen Yongjie was in a similar state. He struggled to reconnect his arms, and was sweating profusely from the pain. Then he corrected the collapsed chest bones which made a series of cracking sounds that were particularly harsh to hear.
"Don't give me a chance. If I catch you one day, I'll slowly smash you with the Big Black Sword!" Old Chen said with resentment. It was too miserable.
"What's wrong with you two?" Zhang Daoling asked. With him being trapped there, he started to show his fake concern for the two of them.
"Your methods are quite similar to the unparalleled immortal or demon that was trying to kill us. Did you come up just to strangle us? Could it be you?" Wang Xuan spoke while looking at him suspiciously.
Old Zhang remained calm, saying, "If it were me, would the two of you still be alive? You would've been crushed into two puddles of blood by me long ago."
He was quite confident, as if he could control the situation. He was disregarding the top experts of the world.
"I think you can't defeat him!" Wang Xuan spoke, then proceeded to provide a detailed description of the person wearing the silver mask. With his memory projection, he revealed the man’s appearance.
"I don't recognize him. It's definitely not his true appearance, but he seems formidable. Perhaps he is truly the incarnation of an unparalleled immortal or demon." said Old Zhang.
Old Zhang nodded and showed a hint of surprise, he continued, "Impressive, you have some skills. Managing to survive under the control of such a person is quite remarkable."
Then, the three flames swayed, moving a few feet toward Wang Xuan's side, which surprised Zhang Daoling.
How is this possible?
He also decisively moved towards that side.
Seeing this, Wang Xuan signaled for Old Chen to quickly run away. That's a bunch of pits, both literally and metaphorically. They really can't afford to mess with it!
Chen Yongjie was speechless.
Old Zhang, as a senior who has achieved the Tao, do you have any shame for using your juniors as your shield? We should just hurry up and run!
"Don't run, I'm telling the truth! The Three Holy Flames had existed since ancient times. Generally, it engages in philosophical discussions with people and doesn't harm them. At most, it'll trap you for a year or so, no, maybe just ten days or half a month!" Old Zhang shouted from behind.
The two severely injured individuals ran until they reached the horizon. They ran until they could only vaguely see the three flames before stopping. The ordeal had caused more fractures, leaving them grimacing and coughing up blood.
"I'm not going!" Wang Xuan was flustered. This female deity could actually see him, even though he hadn't projected his spirit.
The female deity stood gracefully, like a figure from ancient times. She wore a crown, and had a dignified look on her. Her every gesture and smile exuded charm, and her beauty was breathtaking.
Old Zhang glanced at her through a bronze mirror then sucked in a breath of cold air, and said, "Oh my, the one looking for you is the Evil Queen!"
"I......" Wang Xuan was flustered. He couldn’t believe that this extremely beautiful young woman was the Evil Queen of the ancient civilization of the Three Holy Flames.
"Then who are the three pale faces staring at you?" Wang Xuan quickly asked.
"They are the collective consciousness of the ancient spirits of the Three Holy Flames," Old Zhang said with a forced tone as the pale faces approached, staring at him.
It wasn't just one, but all three of them stared at him coldly. It made his spirit somewhat unstable.
"Kid, there's something on you that's attracting them. Come over here quickly, and I'll reward you!" Zhang Daoling shouted to him.
"What do I get in return?" Wang Xuan asked.
"What do you want?" Old Zhang countered.
"I want to kill that mysterious person wearing the silver mask!" Wang Xuan shouted.
Old Zhang’s eyes widened. He felt that the reward was too hard to grant. He said, "What realm are you in, you guys are miles apart in cultivation!"
"But perhaps you can defeat him!" Wang Xuan suggested, delicately asking if he had any magical spells, talismans, or forbidden techniques to lend him, so he could deal with that mysterious person.
"Are you out of your mind?" Old Zhang shook his head.
"Then goodbye!" replied Wang Xuan. Accompanied by Chen Yongjie, he was about to leave.
"Come here!" Eventually, Old Zhang agreed, informing them that he could provide three types of talismans which were Mirror Light, Yang Ping Seal, and Dragon-Tiger Sword. When used, each would be equivalent to his own striking power.
Wang Xuan immediately agreed joyfully, and followed the Evil Queen. He even dragged Old Chen along to be enlightened.
"I have an extraordinary scripture here that’s unmatched in the world, but the cultivation method is too difficult. It requires someone that is mentally different from ordinary people to master it, preferably someone with illness," said Wang Xuan.
However, before he could finish, Old Zhang's expression turned unfriendly. He said, "Are you monitoring me? Are you using modern technology to control my every move?!"
Wang Xuan was puzzled, he replied, "What's going on? Where did this come from? I've been isolated in outer space and haven't been outside. How could I monitor you?"
Then, Old Zhang threw him a diagnosis report.
Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie gathered together and carefully examined it. Both of them were surprised.
Old Zhang was actually diagnosed as a stage one mental patient?
The expression on Wang Xuan's face was quite spectacular. In the end, he sighed and said, "This supreme scripture truly came into existence because of you. It was specially prepared for you!"
"Do you believe that I'm even more ruthless than that mysterious person wearing the silver mask? I could kill you right now!" Old Zhang said unkindly. He felt like the kid had insulted him.
"Let me give you a section of the scripture first. You can ponder upon it and try it out," said Wang Xuan as he generously offered the scripture, providing Old Zhang with a section of the scripture.
After a while, Old Zhang became absent-minded, puzzled, then angry. He immersed himself in it. He was actually studying it!
Soon after, Wang Xuan and Old Chen were both forcefully pulled by the Evil Spirits to dance together by the bonfire. Wang Xuan grinned, he felt a bit uneasy and uncomfortable.
In fact, not long after that, Old Zhang also met the same fate. He was forced to dance by the three large pale faces.
Only after joining in did Wang Xuan realize that everyone was chanting scriptures while dancing!
At the same time, Fang Yuzhu, dressed in white, arrived at the entrance of this strange space, revisiting the familiar place.
