Chapter 923 Liao Xuan Three and a Half People

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

To the young man surnamed Feng and Lan Yao, it seemed that the yellow bird was the woman named Yue Dong.

At this moment, in the Liaoxuan County Grand Canyon, the fog was violently rolling, and there was a constant roar inside. Sharp hissing sounds penetrated the fog, containing misery and cruelty.

Half a while later, with the sound of heavy objects falling one after another, a storm suddenly broke out at the bottom of the canyon.

Sweeping across, the fog at the bottom of the canyon was instantly torn apart, as if an invisible hand was waving inside, causing the thick fog here to move upwards.

The valley bottom that was originally covered by fog was revealed!
It was a huge ruin.

There are a large number of ancient-style buildings in the ruins, whether they are high towers, streets, or houses.

To be precise, this is a small city.

It is conceivable that there must have been many living creatures living here in the past.

But now, most of the buildings here have collapsed, and only a few are intact. At the same time, the traces of foreign invasion are very clear.

However, there was not a single ancient corpse left. Instead, there were hundreds of bloody corpses of two-headed monster birds scattered in the ruins.

Some of them were not completely dead yet and were struggling and howling.

Then, a figure rushed out from the fog above, landed in the ruins, and stood on a struggling strange bird.

The moment he stepped down, the body of the strange bird exploded with a loud bang and turned into a blur of flesh and blood.

This person is the young man named Feng.

Immediately afterwards, two more figures were running just as fast from behind and fell down in an instant.

It’s Lan Yao and Xu Qing.

Looking at the ruins around him, Xu Qing appeared normal on the surface, but he was secretly more alert in his heart. He glanced around and then looked at the captain in the hand of the young man named Feng.

The captain is still unconscious.

Xu Qing silently withdrew his gaze and looked at the corpses of the strange birds.

Before, when they were in the fog, the three of them were doing well at first, but they were soon attacked. Those who attacked them seemed to be able to merge themselves with the fog.

Being caught between reality and illusion is quite difficult.

Xu Qing would not go all out, but it was obvious that the young man surnamed Feng was more anxious. He took out the five-colored feather fan, and with one wave, he actually forced most of the beings attacking them out of their bodies, and killed a lot of them in flesh and blood.

Then Lan Yao also took action, and Xu Qing assisted, killing hundreds more before breaking out of the fog.

It was these strange birds that attacked them.

"This world is dirty and full of dangers. An ordinary sparrow has been transformed into this state under the attack of the divine spirit."

The young man surnamed Feng spoke gloomily.

"Friend Lan, there may be many similar beasts on the next journey. If you continue to be like you just now, I'm afraid our journey will be seriously delayed. By then... there may be other unexpected events."

Having said that, the young man surnamed Feng looked at Xu Qing.

"Also, Fellow Daoist Yan Xuanzi, if I always rush to the front and encounter some difficult beings, I can't guarantee that I won't use your senior brother as a shield."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with coldness. He stared at the young man named Feng and spoke slowly.

"I don't mind continuing the life-and-death battle with you here!"

The young man surnamed Feng narrowed his eyes, and a chill instantly spread from his body, covering all around. At the same time, he squeezed the captain's neck with a little more force.

As for the captain, his legs were twitching and he had a painful expression on his face.

Xu Qing's face became even uglier.

Lan Yao, who was standing by, noticed the hostility between the two men, chuckled, and walked between them.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Yan Xuanzi, you really didn't contribute much before, so it's no wonder that Fellow Daoist Feng is dissatisfied."

"But Fellow Daoist Feng, since we have chosen to cooperate, you should not always look so controlling."

"Well, if the road ahead is as difficult as before, we will attack together. If not, each of us will attack once."

Upon hearing this, the young man named Feng snorted, shook his body, and flew forward.

But the hand that was pinching the captain's neck loosened a little, and the captain's legs finally stopped twitching.

Xu Qing looked at the back of the young man named Feng without saying anything. Lan Yao beside him looked at Xu Qing meaningfully.

"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Yan Xuanzi."

Xu Qing understood that the two of them would not let him be the last one, just like what happened in the fog before, so he took a step forward in silence and flew forward.

Just like that, the three of them, led by the young man named Feng, sped along above the ruined city.

However, they deliberately kept a distance of several hundred feet between each other, especially the young man surnamed Feng, who was more than a thousand feet away.

As he moved forward, the ruined city became more clearly visible to Xu Qing. He saw a large number of withered tree roots between the buildings.

There are densely packed and large numbers of them, but many of them are broken.

And at the edge of the city, countless roots penetrate deep into the rocks of the canyon.

It seems that this city was built among the roots.

Therefore, a picture was sketched in Xu Qing's mind. Apparently, there had been a giant tree here in the past. This tree grew outside the canyon, and perhaps it could support the sky, or perhaps it could grow so lushly that it formed its own canopy.

And its roots spread throughout the earth.

As for the location of this city, it should have been a cave in the past.

Until one day, perhaps a person with great supernatural powers appeared, and with a single force, a gully appeared in the earth, so there was this grand canyon, and the cave was exposed.

"So, what about that tree... maybe it was moved away by the Liaoxuan clan, or maybe it disappeared over time? But there are still traces of the roots. Even if the trunk disappears, there should still be traces."

"But there are no traces outside, so it is likely that they were relocated. As for the relocationists... they are either Liao Xuan or a certain clan in the future."

Xu Qing seemed to be lost in thought. He naturally would not believe what the young man surnamed Feng had said outside the canyon before. As for unknown things, Xu Qing's character determined that he would only trust his own observations and judgments.

Unless it was said by someone he trusted.

With this thought in mind, Xu Qing's eyes fell on the ruins of the buildings. Judging from the style of these buildings, they were similar to human culture, but some details were different.

This is understandable. In the era of the ancient Emperor Xuanyou, the human race was the most supreme race among all ancient races. All other races instinctively imitated the human race and used this as their aesthetic.

As Xu Qing was observing, as he approached the center of the ruined city, there was suddenly a roar coming from the young man named Feng in the front, and at the same time, a remarkable wave also spread instantly.

Xu Qing immediately focused his mind and suddenly rose to a higher altitude. Lan Yao behind him made the same choice.

At this height, everything in front of him was more clearly visible to Xu Qing. He noticed in an instant that in the center of the ruins, on the ground that had not changed at all, a hideous face had appeared.

This face grew on the ground and seemed to have been hidden all the time, so it was not noticed just now. As the young man surnamed Feng flew over, it suddenly appeared, and a rotten tongue stretched out, attacking the young man surnamed Feng.

But his tongue was grabbed by the young man surnamed Feng. With the outbreak of his spiritual cultivation, the young man surnamed Feng's body shook and turned into a five-colored peacock. With a cold snort, he rushed towards the big face.

The roar penetrated the face, and the next moment, this was obviously a strange and ferocious beast. Under the attack of the young man named Feng, it was extremely fragile and collapsed directly.

After his body and soul were destroyed, a deep pit appeared where he was.

The figure of the young man surnamed Feng also changed from the five-colored peacock to his original shape. He stood there without stepping in, but looked at Xu Qing and Lan Yao.

"Next, it's your turn."

The young man surnamed Feng spoke calmly.

Lan Yao smiled, and rushed into the deep pit.

The young man surnamed Feng did not move and looked at Xu Qing coldly.

Xu Qing flew into the deep pit without saying a word.

Seeing the two of them like this, the young man named Feng took a step forward and entered at the end.

This deep pit is colder than the outside world. Crystals have appeared on the surrounding mud walls. As you go deeper, the cold becomes thicker and thicker, and it becomes pitch black.

However, the three of them were not ordinary cultivators. Even if it was pitch black here, they could see everything clearly with a flash of their eyes.

And this time, it went much more smoothly than before.

There was no danger until an incense stick of time passed. However, the pit was too deep. Even with their speed, although they were not running at full speed, they still did not reach the bottom after an incense stick of time.

But success was only short-lived. When half of the second incense stick had passed, petals suddenly burst out from Lan Yao in front of them and spread rapidly in all directions.

These petals seem fragile, but each one contains terrifying power. The moment they spread out, a roar was heard, and a snake-like creature flashed past Lan Yao.

This creature was obviously hiding, and wanted to launch a sneak attack on Lan Yao, but Lan Yao somehow failed to detect it, and the scattered petals exploded, forcing it out.

The figure revealed at this moment was shocking.

It was not a snake, but a strange intestine-like creature, squirming and trying to escape. But with a cold snort from Lan Yao, the petals around it suddenly gathered together and transformed into a seven-colored peacock!

The horns on this peacock's head are actually white!
In this way, the colors that appeared on the peacock became eight colors!

Whether in terms of aura or the purity of his bloodline, they are obviously superior to the young man surnamed Feng, and far superior.

Now that it has been formed, it goes straight to the intestines.

Xu Qing looked at this scene but did not help. Instead, something moved in his heart and he suddenly turned to look at the young man named Feng.

Upon taking a look, he saw a fleeting glimmer of greed in the eyes of the young man named Feng.

Xu Qing's sudden turn back also made the young man surnamed Feng's face darken.

Xu Qing remained calm and withdrew his gaze. While he was thinking about something, the eight-colored peacock was shining brightly and was directly approaching the strange intestine, tearing it apart directly, and then returned to Lan Yao's body.

Lan Yao paused, turned around and looked at Xu Qing and the young man named Feng with a smile, finally her eyes fell on Xu Qing and she spoke softly.

"Next, it's your turn."
