NOVPUBWhispers, cries, roars, wails...
In this instance, countless voices brimming with negative emotions filled Ming Shan’s mind.
Bewildered, he only felt as if he were being targeted by a malicious presence...
Eerie, brutal, cold, venomous...
This force was not particularly strong, and yet it served as a catalyst, instantly igniting the sinful and resentful energy collected from the rotten corpses full of worldly sufferings throughout his previous cultivation.
Behind Mingshan, the compassionate eyes of the Buddha’s shadow rapidly narrowed and turned cold, and the body of the Buddha gradually exuded strands of dark and evil matter.
The once magnificent dark golden Buddha light subtly started to darken...
"Not good!"
Ming Shan’s face changed drastically!
The always-serene spiritual government began to shake violently!
On his face, there were moments of kindness, twisted laughter, painful roars, and breakdowns into great sobs...
Like falling into a demon’s den, feeling absent-minded.
Wu Monkey King, noticing the Buddha’s hand slowing down, immediately sensed an opportunity, threw away the shattered Eyebrow Staff, again condensed a short stick with a spell, and heavily smashed it towards Ming Shan!
However, its attack immediately elicited a spontaneous rebound from the Buddha’s statue.
The hand of the Buddha, filled with dark matter, unexpectedly slapped towards Wu Monkey King!
Wu Monkey King quickly sensed something was amiss.
He hastily retreated, only to see that the Buddha’s statue didn’t show any intention of attacking either. A trace of human-like confusion showed on its arrogant face.
When Wang Ba noticed the dark matter outside the Yin God temple in his spiritual government, quietly disappearing and compared it with Ming Shan’s condition, there was an flicker of understanding in his heart, but also sheer surprise.
"What exactly is the Lifeline Defile Curse? Even the Nascent Soul cultivators seem to be greatly affected once they are affected."
But Wang Ba immediately looked towards Xi Wushang, who barely managed to evade the attacks in the sea water not far away; his aura of mana seemed to have slipped a bit, and it was permeated with a hint of something familiar to him.
"Yuanci’s power!"
Wang Ba’s face was solemn.
He was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing.
During the escape from Tianmen Cult when he had a battle with Zhu Ziji, he had personally experienced this unique property, where one’s Five Elements Mana couldn’t be used wherever it covers.
Of course, the Yuanci’s power in the seawater was also present, but perhaps due to the lack of concentration, while they did have some impact on the cultivators, as long as one didn’t come into direct contact, it was not so dangerous.
At most, it would only consume some mana.
Xi Wushang had obviously been tainted by the water.
"Go and aid Brother Xi!"
Wang Ba quickly ordered the Wu Monkey King.
Wu Monkey King did not hesitate, with his spiritual power surging, a stone suddenly flew from the island. Wu Monkey King stepped on this stone, leveraged it for a jump, and immediately rushed fearlessly towards Wu Yan who was intending to kill Xi Wushang!
Wang Ba didn’t stop either, he looked towards Ming Shan who had his hands clasped together and was wearing a struggling expression on his face.
He originally intended to seize an opportunity to escape from this place, but the unexpected turn of events with Ming Shan had made this possibility much greater.
He did not hesitate at all and swung his knife towards Ming Shan once again!
With the aid of the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, a massive amount of mana was converted into tenfold of Mother Qi of Dharmas, and the recovery rate was beyond imagination.
Even so, the strike depleted his Mother Qi of Dharmas instantly!
This is the very purpose of the sword technique Ji Yuan taught, one must use all their strength at the point of life and death, leaving no way out.
One sword births life, one sword causes death.
Fortunately, with the aid of the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, the Mother Qi of Dharmas recovered extremely quickly, and had replenished to a large extent just in a blink of an eye.
With the surge of the Mother Qi of Dharmas, a near Class IV short sword gifted by Cui Daqi burst forth a nearly hundred-foot-long blade light, and the piercing roar that had been ceased sounded again above Elong Beach!
Smash!
The severe blade light instantly stricken Ming Shan!
However, Wang Ba immediately revealed a look of disappointment.
The shadow of the Buddha behind Ming Shan, although enveloped by dark matter for the most part, did not hesitate at all when Wang Ba’s blade fell, it immediately clasped its hands, encapsulating Ming Shan.
The blade light struck the Buddha’s shadow.
The Buddha’s hand shattered!
However, it also sliced open some of the black matter on the Buddha’s statue, revealing the increasingly bright body of the Buddha beneath it.
"No! I can’t attack this Ming Shan!"
Wang Ba immediately realized the problem.
Obviously, the curse of the Lifeline Defile Curse was getting intertwined with Mingshan, his own attacks wouldn’t resolve Ming Shan’s issue, on the contrary, it could possibly expedite his release.
"Zhen Boen and Lou Yi still need time…"
"And... at this point, why hasn’t that hidden Nascent Soul shown up yet?"
In a mere instant, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Ba’s mind.
Even though the enemy’s three Nascent Souls were still in an advantageous position, it was no longer a one-sided situation. As for that hidden Nascent Soul, it also didn’t seem to have any intentions of making a move.
This made Wang Ba extremely cautious, but also somewhat confused.
"Does he have other plans? Or…"
Suddenly, his heart pulsed, he noticed Ji Yuan struggling to cope, barely holding up against the attacks of the Golden Core Cultivators of the Feather Serpent Tribe, his face instantly turned cold, and he quickly flew towards Ji Yuan’s direction.
The enemy had the favor of passing on him techniques, now he was capable of helping, there’s no reason to hold back.
Meanwhile.
Ming Shan, with his hands clasped together and a struggling look on his face, countless memories from previous cultivation surged into his mind.
"Master, why do we have to eat... these dirty things?"
