Chapter 263: Here Comes Another, Bro?
Zhang Chen couldn't help but praise himself at this moment: he was the very embodiment of a drama queen.
Within the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, Zhang Chen continuously used words to lure the monster on the opposite side, his voice full of horror and fear, as if he had no way to deal with the monster at all.
This made the monster feel comfortable, its voice filled with triumph: "Hahaha, tiny ant, wait to be skinned and have your tendons pulled out by this old ancestor! Have you thought about how you want to die? Do you want me to light your sky lantern? Or should I just eat you directly?"
"You demon, get back! Get back! This is my Yellow Springs, what have you done to my Yellow Springs?" Zhang Chen's voice was full of terror.
"Hehehe, this old ancestor has already mastered the laws of heaven and earth, how can you understand my methods?" A cold laugh came from the Yellow Springs.
In the next moment, accompanied by the expansion of the Yellow Springs springhead, it turned into a portal of considerable size.
The black-robed man walked out arrogantly: "Boy, have you thought about how to die…"
The black-robed man stopped halfway through his words, looking at the vast yellow sand constantly floating in the void in front of him, his voice stuck in his throat.
After a long time, he finally managed to utter a few words with difficulty: "Nine - Bends - Yellow - River - Talisman - Formation?"
Question: Is it too late to run now?
Looking at the vast yellow sand world in front of him, the black-robed man turned around and ran without saying a word, trying to drill back into the springhead, but at this moment, with Zhang Chen's thought, the Nine Bends Yellow River operated, and the springhead of the Yellow Springs disappeared directly, the black-robed monster pounced into empty space.
"Where does Your Excellency want to go?" Zhang Chen asked, his voice no longer as fearful as before, his words full of triumph.
"That…" The black-robed monster turned around, stammering: "It's all a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! When will grievances be repaid? Why don't you let me go back, and we'll resolve all our grievances?"
"Hehe, why talk about resolving grievances now? It's too late! I'll give you two choices now, either submit or die, choose for yourself," Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the black-robed monster suddenly became anxious: "Boy, don't push people too far, do you really think you can be sure of me just by relying on the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation? If you provoke me to anger, I will definitely perish together with you."
"If you have the ability to perish together, then just destroy my Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, since you recognize my Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, you should know how powerful it is," Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Don't push people too far." The black-robed man angrily accused Zhang Chen, but his words inevitably lacked confidence.
Hearing the black-robed monster's words, Zhang Chen smiled: "I have the ability, so I can push people too far, if you want to push people too far, you can't even bully me."
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the black-robed monster gritted his teeth in anger, took a deep breath in the next moment, and simply chose to admit defeat, he didn't want to taste the power of the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation:
"This old ancestor admits defeat, what do you want, just tell me."
He recognized the origin of the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, knowing that he was destined to fail today.
The more people who know the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, the more they know how powerful this talisman formation is.
If he was at his peak, he might still be able to escape the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, but now that he has just been resurrected, his strength is almost non-existent, how could he have the ability to escape the power of the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation?
However, he thought about his strength during his peak days, as long as the Zhang Chen in front of him didn't kill him immediately, no matter what means he used to imprison him, he would be able to break through the opponent's means and complete the counter-kill when he left the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation.
He, the black-robed monster, can bend and stretch, what does it matter to bow his head now? When he turns over, he will just find his place back.
Faced with the black-robed man's compromise, Zhang Chen smiled triumphantly, but he didn't force him too much: "I have a forbidden technique, if you accept it, I will spare your life, otherwise I can only trouble Your Excellency to reincarnate."
The black-robed man sighed, then closed his eyes and chose to accept his fate, seemingly unable to bear to watch the tragedy that would follow.
Zhang Chen directly activated the Buddhist mantra, the Six-Syllable True Word flowed, and the six words combined, turning into a Buddhist sticker.
With Zhang Chen's point, it fell into the black-robed man's illusory and empty body.
"The Buddhist's Mind-Stabilizing True Word." As soon as the Buddhist sticker entered his body, the black-robed man immediately sensed something was wrong, and his voice changed at this moment.
"That's right, it's the Mind-Stabilizing True Word," Zhang Chen smiled triumphantly.
The Mind-Stabilizing True Word fell into the opponent's empty body, directly evolving into countless golden threads, constantly shuttling through his empty body, in an instant, evolving into hundreds of millions of threads, flowing like meridians, and then all the Mind-Stabilizing True Words disappeared in an instant.
"How could you master the Mind-Stabilizing True Word?" The black-robed monster's voice was full of disbelief.
The Mind-Stabilizing True Word is definitely the most difficult method in the world, and the same Mind-Stabilizing True Word, everyone has their own Mind-Stabilizing True Word, even people who practice the same Mind-Stabilizing True Word cannot crack it.
Unless one cultivates to the realm where the mind is like still water, all desires are completely cut off, and the state of mind is not shocked by the collapse of the sky, otherwise it is impossible to escape the control of the Mind-Stabilizing True Word.
But if the state of mind is cultivated to that level, one can already be in harmony with the Dao of Heaven, so what's the use of cracking the Mind-Stabilizing True Word at that time?
"Damn it, how could I meet this nemesis?" The black-robed man's heart was filled with helplessness.
"Now can you talk about your origin?" Zhang Chen asked after seeing that the Mind-Stabilizing True Word had restrained the opponent.
"I am a creature born in the Netherworld, born tens of thousands of years ago, I am the only one alone in the entire Netherworld, I want to leave the Netherworld, but I am bound by the Netherworld and cannot break the barrier of the world at all.
Later, in the deeper part of the Netherworld, a more terrifying existence was born, that existence took my lair, and I had no choice but to escape to the Wangchuan River," the black-robed man's voice was full of helplessness.
Then it was the black-robed man's tragic life, his lair was taken away, and he could only helplessly wander on the Wangchuan River, constantly trying to increase his strength, hoping that one day he could return, kill the monster, and take back his lair.
"The Netherworld actually has an existence stronger than you?" Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this.
In his eyes, this black-robed man was already difficult enough to deal with, how could there be a more powerful life than him?
"Tell me about that more terrifying existence," Zhang Chen asked.
The black-robed man scratched his head: "That monster is very strange, it is transformed from a mosquito, it can devour everything, even if I see it, I have to run far away. I didn't escape in time before, and my body was swallowed by him, otherwise why would I only have a little true spirit left to support it?"
The black-robed man gritted his teeth here, wishing he could kill the monster directly.
Zhang Chen was alert when he heard this, but he didn't intend to provoke more trouble, but asked: "I want to find the strange wind between heaven and earth, and the gravel formed after the fall of the dead, do you know how to obtain them?"
There is yellow sand in the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, but unfortunately this yellow sand is evolved from runes, not real yellow sand.
"You want the grit formed after the fall of a powerful soul?" The black-robed man looked at Zhang Chen, his voice somewhat strange: "How powerful of grit do you want?"
"Of course, the more powerful the better," Zhang Chen said.
"I do know of a place where a congenital sacred being fell, and countless grits have accumulated endlessly, but I'm just afraid you don't have the guts to go and get them," the black-robed man said in a strange voice.
"There are grits formed after the fall of a congenital sacred being? Tell me about it," Zhang Chen said, perking up at the news.
"This matter also involves that ominous thing," the black-robed man said. "In that Netherworld, there is a small blood lake, and the grit on the shore of the blood lake is all left by congenital sacred beings. Even deep within the blood lake, in the very center, there are grits left by beings of unimaginable power, which will definitely perfectly meet all your needs."
Zhang Chen's heart pounded upon hearing this, but at this moment, the black-robed man poured cold water on him: "However, that ferocious thing guards the blood lake, treating the entire blood lake area as its own territory. If you dare to steal the grit from the blood lake, I'm afraid you will suffer the monster's poisonous hands."
Zhang Chen looked at his own Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array: "Can my Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array kill it?"
"Of course, it can kill it, but if you bring the Nine Bends Yellow River Array to the Netherworld, the Yellow Springs spring will lose its anchor, and you will never be able to return," the strange man replied. "Besides, that monster isn't stupid, why would it rush into the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array?"
Zhang Chen frowned upon hearing this: "Can we suppress the monster if we join forces?"
"If we join forces, we'll just be snacks for that monster," the black-robed monster said, his voice full of bitterness.
Zhang Chen fell silent, and after a long while, he said: "Is there really no way at all?"
"Yes!" the black-robed monster said. "But to accomplish it is almost impossible."
"Tell me about it, maybe it can really be done?" Zhang Chen said.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the black-robed monster didn't refute, but said: "There is a kind of flower in this world called: Golden Wind Jade Dew. This flower has great nourishing properties, and for congenital beings, it has a fatal attraction. Once a congenital being eats it, it will definitely fall into a deep sleep and evolve. If you can find this rare flower, you will definitely be able to lure that damned monster to eat it, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the blood lake and take away the grit. It's just a pity that the Golden Wind Jade Dew has already become extinct with the great changes in the world, and it is difficult to find."
"Golden Wind Jade Dew?" Zhang Chen said, still unwilling to give up: "Tell me about the shape and color of this flower."
The black-robed monster then described the color and appearance of the flower, but listening to the black-robed monster's description, Zhang Chen only felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Then a flash of inspiration struck Zhang Chen's mind, and he remembered the guy from the Fox Clan who had possessed Chai Chuanxin. Didn't he take a red flower from the other party's body back then? That flower was exactly the same as the one the black-robed monster was describing at this time.
As the black-robed monster described it, the more Zhang Chen listened, the more strange he felt, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself: "No way? Is it really such a coincidence?"
After the black-robed monster finished describing it, he concluded: "In short, don't think about it. The Golden Wind Jade Dew has already become extinct in the world, and it is impossible to find it. I advise you not to think about the blood lake anymore."
Zhang Chen interrupted the black-robed monster's words: "Wait a minute, let me show you something."
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he walked directly into the vast yellow sand to hide his figure, lest he be attacked and plotted against by the black-robed monster when he later entered the spiritual world in meditation.
Zhang Chen came to the deepest part of the yellow sand, entered the spiritual world in meditation, and summoned the Fox Fairy Nuannuan: "Go and find the red flower that we hid. When I summon you later, help me bring it out from the spiritual world."
The Fox Fairy Nuannuan nodded upon hearing this, and went very obediently to fetch the red flower.
Zhang Chen woke up from his meditative state, and then summoned the Fox Fairy Nuannuan. He saw the Fox Fairy Nuannuan holding a small red flower and appearing obediently in the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array.
The Fox Fairy Nuannuan swept her eyes across the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes: "What kind of ghost place is this? It's so terrifying. I feel that even a grain of sand can knock me into the mortal world and lose all my spirituality."
Hearing the Fox Fairy Nuannuan's words, Zhang Chen smiled and did not answer her, but directly put her away, and then walked out of the yellow sand and came to the black-robed monster's front:
"Take a look at this thing, is it the Golden Wind Jade Dew you mentioned?"
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the black-robed monster looked over and was shocked when he saw the red flower: "It really is this thing! Where did you get it? Didn't this herb go extinct in the world long ago?"
Zhang Chen didn't answer the black-robed monster's words, but asked with a smile: "Can we start now?"
The black-robed monster said upon hearing this: "The flower you are holding is called Jade Dew. There is also a flower in this world that is born with it, called Golden Wind. Only when the two flowers are combined can it be called Golden Wind Jade Dew. When the Golden Wind Jade Dew meets, it is simply a great weapon. Jade Dew can make people hibernate and advance, while Golden Wind can dissolve people's cultivation, causing people to be knocked back into the mortal world after reaching the peak of cultivation. Only then is the Golden Wind Jade Dew unforgettable."
Zhang Chen thought of the red flower's induction in the spiritual world. If there were no accidents, it should be where the Golden Wind is?
Was he going to the spiritual world to pick the Golden Wind back?
Just as he had this thought, he heard the black-robed monster on the opposite side say: "This Jade Dew is enough. That monster isn't stupid. Even if you bring the Golden Wind, it won't eat it. I recognize both the Golden Wind and Jade Dew. That monster was born as a mosquito and likes to suck flower dew, so it should recognize it even better than me."
"Let's hurry up and get started," the black-robed monster said.
Zhang Chen looked at the black-robed monster with a surprised expression. He didn't expect this guy to be even more eager than himself.
"You don't understand my suffering. I have something to protect my life, but it was taken away by that monster. This time, there is hope to get it back, so of course I'm happy," the black-robed man said.
Zhang Chen remained vigilant in his heart, lest he be tricked by this black-robed monster, and then said to the black-robed monster: "Give me the Jade Dew, you go first."
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the black-robed monster carefully handed over the red flower, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and drilled into the Yellow Springs spring.
The next moment, a ray of light flashed in the Yellow Springs spring, which was forcibly opened by the monster, and then the monster, like a loach, 'slipped' in.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen followed the path opened by the black-robed monster and drilled in after him.
At this time, Zhang Chen was also secretly amazed. The strength of this black-robed monster was really unbelievably powerful, beyond his imagination. This guy could actually anchor coordinates and forcibly travel between the two worlds. His strength was probably not ordinary. He had to be careful when facing this old fellow.
