A wooden platform stood in the center of the cave, surrounded by ten thousand people kneeling and prostrating themselves.
The old woman on the platform led the chanting of the Sacred Teachings of the Tinder, her steps a bizarre, uneven rhythm, each one stamping out a bloody Taoist seal that floated upwards, coalescing into a massive eyeball filled with blood vessels.
The old woman's skin was wrinkled and shriveled, her figure shrunken and hunched, as she excitedly danced, holding a scepter.
The silver rings on the scepter collided and rubbed against each other, the crisp sound of the vibrations driving the ten thousand people below into a frenzy, swaying their bodies and heads in rhythm with her, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
Chen Changsheng moved stealthily, discovering that the ten thousand fanatical believers below were all from various major sects and factions.
Ten thousand righteous cultivators had fallen into becoming believers of demons and heretics, all kneeling and chanting the Sacred Teachings of the Tinder.
To Chen Changsheng's surprise, Cheng Ziyue was among them.
Beside him were more than a dozen disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect, all bewitched by demonic sorcery into fanatical believers, as if worshipping immortals and gods.
"Sect Leader Cheng, wake up!"
Chen Changsheng quietly approached Cheng Ziyue, his true qi voice exploding in the other's mind.
Cheng Ziyue's body jolted, the fanaticism in his eyes turning to confusion.
"Sect Leader Cheng, don't show any abnormality," Chen Changsheng's voice came again.
This time, Cheng Ziyue finally awoke from his confusion, and with the reminder, his eyes regained their fanaticism, swaying his body with the ten thousand believers, taking the opportunity to observe and ponder the current situation.
However, Cheng Ziyue, who was half a beat behind, was noticed by the old woman on the platform.
Buzz!
Whoosh!
The scepter suddenly waved, and the ten thousand believers collectively turned their heads to look at Cheng Ziyue.
Knowing he had been exposed, Cheng Ziyue immediately unleashed his cultivation, true qi condensing into a phantom of mountains and peaks that blasted out, while the surrounding believers rushed towards him at the same moment.
Boom!
The huge phantom of mountains and peaks shook violently, and more than a dozen believers around him exploded into a mist of blood under the energy of the Taoist technique.
However, Cheng Ziyue's Taoist technique suddenly retracted at the crucial moment, because behind him were the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect, and he was afraid that his Taoist technique would injure his sect's disciples.
"Disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect, wake up quickly!"
Cheng Ziyue moved his body to dodge, shouting loudly at the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect.
More than a dozen disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect were stunned, but failed to wake up.
Not everyone was like Cheng Ziyue, able to be awakened by true qi voice transmission alone; he had the cultivation of the God Transformation stage, but the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect did not.
Fortunately, Cheng Ziyue's foundation was not bad; he intertwined Taoist seals with both hands, and more than a dozen mountain and peak phantoms turned into streams of light imprints, instantly flying into the eyebrows of the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples.
The Taoist seals vibrated and rippled in the minds of the disciples, and more than ten people successively regained their senses from their confusion, looking at everything around them with bewildered expressions.
Seeing this, the old woman on the platform's hideous smile turned into an ugly look of anger, and the scepter vibrated again.
In the sound of the silver rings colliding, ripples of Taoist techniques spread out, and except for the awakened Thousand Mountains Sect disciples, the ten thousand believers directly raised their hands and slashed fiercely across their foreheads.
Blood lines divided their skulls, and bright red blood flowed down their foreheads.
In the shocked gazes of Cheng Ziyue and others, ten thousand believers simultaneously pried open their own skulls, revealing the brains inside their heads.
They were not afraid of pain, laughing strangely and madly.
With a puff, the believers dug out their brains with their palms, and the gushing blood and brain matter soared into the air, turning into countless lines that converged and solidified in the air.
As the corpses collectively fell to the ground, four pale hands condensed on both sides of the massive eyeball!
The old woman shook her scepter, and one pair of large hands formed a seal in the air, while the other pair of large hands swiftly slapped down towards Cheng Ziyue and the others.
Boom!
The speed of the large handprint was extremely fast, and even Cheng Ziyue, who was in the God Transformation stage, did not have time to react, and was suddenly slapped away by one of the large hands, like a kite with a broken string crashing into the rock wall.
Not to mention the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples with weaker cultivation; they did not realize the sudden approach of death at all.
Just as the large handprint was about to fall, a figure wearing a mask suddenly appeared from the void.
The slender figure was like an indestructible body of diamond, and the moment it was struck by the large handprint, only a loud 'clang' was heard.
The violent air waves roared and spread like a tornado, blowing the Taoist robes loudly, and the cultivators with weaker cultivation were directly blown away by the impact.
Only at this moment did the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples finally react.
If Chen Changsheng had not taken action to stop them and blocked the blow for them, they would have been dead!
"No wonder that guy was able to escape my control; it turns out it was you, a rat hiding in the dark, who was causing trouble."
The old woman's voice was hoarse, and her angry face was as狰狞terrible as a ghost.
Chen Changsheng stood unharmed in mid-air, the face on the mask changing, and lightning flashed around him.
He had originally planned to observe in secret, seize the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow.
However, he did not expect that Cheng Ziyue was not very useful, unable to protect himself, let alone protect the sect's disciples.
Seeing that more than a dozen disciples of the Thousand Mountains Sect were about to die, Chen Changsheng had no choice but to show himself and rescue them.
"Unfortunately, you have come one step too late; the lives of ten thousand people have already built the path for this old woman; my evil arts are complete; you will all become nourishment together!"
With a bang, rubble exploded, and Cheng Ziyue flew out from the rock wall.
His whole body exuded a heavy aura, and Taoist techniques condensed into the phenomena of thousands of mountains and rivers, directly smashing towards the old woman.
Seeing this, the old woman sneered contemptuously, and tapped the scepter lightly on the platform, and the large eyeball in the air suddenly spread out bloody ripples.
Thump!
A sound like a heartbeat rang out, and Cheng Ziyue's phenomena of thousands of mountains and rivers suddenly shattered like tofu.
Thump!
The sound rang out a second time, and the thick aura on Cheng Ziyue's body directly dissipated, and the whole person was震飞震飞by the bloody ripples.
His face was full of disbelief; clearly the old woman was also in the God Transformation stage, so why could she破掉破掉his Taoist techniques and even interrupt the护体真气护体真气he had condensed so不明不白unfathomably?
Before he could稳住身形稳住身形, a bloody stream of light suddenly撞进撞进his眉心brow.
In Cheng Ziyue's perspective, the four pale hands in the air seemed to be constantly increasing, like盛开盛开blooming花瓣petals, one piece after another.
The whole world was spinning, and countless palms continued to绽放绽放before him, seemingly无限循环infinitely循环.
Cheng Ziyue's pupils suddenly lost focus, and his whole person fell to the ground with a砰with a bang like a瘫软瘫软corpse.
"Sect Leader!!"
The Thousand Mountains Sect disciples hurriedly簇拥簇拥to Cheng Ziyue's side, but no matter how they呼唤呼唤, it was to no avail.
Everything happened too fast.
From Cheng Ziyue rushing out of the岩壁rock wall to突如其来突如其来的defeat, it was only a眨眼间眨眼间的time.
The Thousand Mountains Sect disciples could hardly对此难以置信believe it.
Their Sect Leader was actually just a照面照面with this妖魔邪修demon and heretic before he was defeated!?
Is this the实力strength of妖魔邪修demons and heretics?
The道法Taoist techniques are so诡异weird that it is令人摸不清头脑hard to figure out, and so强大powerful that it makes them感到无比窒息feel suffocated.
It's just a妖魔邪修demon and heretic, and it's so可怕terrible; then how did太平城Taiping City of that year战胜defeat such a group of妖魔邪demons and heretics?
The same疑问questions涌现emerged in the minds of the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples.
Chen Changsheng's天眼神通Heaven's Eye Divine Power 目睹目睹the whole process, and解析出解析出part of the道法Taoist techniques from it.
So he提醒提醒the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples: "Take your宗主Sect Leader to the隧道tunnel and don't乱跑run around; he's中了中了the opponent's幻术illusion, it's not a big problem."
"Thank you陈长老Elder Chen for saving our lives; please陈长老Elder Chen be careful!"
The Thousand Mountains Sect disciples慌忙thanked him, and带着带着the双目失神blank-eyed Cheng Ziyue quickly撤离withdrew to the隧道tunnel, looking at陈长生Chen Changsheng in the地洞cave with concerned目光gazes.
Seeing that the Thousand Mountains Sect disciples did not乱跑run around,陈长生Chen Changsheng's心中的无奈心中的无奈was削减削减a bit.
Although the实力strength of this group of people is weak, at least they are very听话obedient; if they乱跑run around in the隧道tunnel, once a空间位移spatial displacement occurs, they will失散again.
No wonder the推演推演卦象卦象result was that独自行动acting alone was more有利advantageous.
The实力strength of this group of 千山宗Thousand Mountains Sect disciples is indeed一般average, and the宗主Sect Leader Cheng Ziyue is also空有just has a一身身one body of 化神期God Transformation stage cultivation, but he has no经验experience in迎战fighting妖魔邪修demons and heretics.
If it were a太平城Taiping City disciple, the first thing they would do when面对面对妖魔邪修demons and heretics would be to观察observe, first判断判断the大致approximate道法Taoist techniques of the opponent, and then迎战fight with corresponding对策countermeasures.
They would not be as傻愣愣stupid as程子约Cheng Ziyue,横冲直撞rushing straight ahead.
Whew!
Suddenly, a劲风strong wind席卷而来swept over, and陈长生Chen Changsheng's身形figure quickly遁入遁入the虚空void.
With a啪with a loud sound, the苍白pale大手big hands合十together拍击slapped,未能击中failed to hit the遁行fleeing陈长生Chen Changsheng, but吹起blew up锋利sharp气旋vortexes, like铺天盖地overwhelming剑气sword energy肆虐ravaging and席卷sweeping.
This股气旋this vortex can穿透穿透the虚空void, and陈长生Chen Changsheng's身形figure闪烁flashed continuously between the气旋vortexes.
When he自虚空中from the void踏步走出stepped out, the地洞cave刹那间instantly掀起掀起灼热blazing雷光lightning flames.
六张Six 金色golden 符箓talismans自陈长生from Chen Changsheng's 手中手中甩出thrown out,环绕环绕the old woman's 四周surroundings.
Boom!
每张Each 十雷神咒Ten Thunder God Talisman中in, 都封印了is sealed 十道十道神煌大洞雷Divine Radiance Great Cave Thunder,随着随着震耳欲聋deafening轰鸣roaring and 刺目dazzling光芒light乍现flashed.
六十道Sixty 神煌大洞雷Divine Radiance Great Cave Thunder 同时simultaneously爆发exploded!
无尽Endless雷海sea of thunder将将 the老太old woman及及 the头顶上的overhead 眼球eyeball and 大手big hands, 在此刻at this moment 尽皆淹没all submerged!
