Chapter 539 Cracking

However, as they approached the bell tower, a group of golems possessed by flames emerged from the bell tower.

These puppets are tall and their movements are stiff but powerful. Every step they take makes the ground tremble slightly.

They brandished weapons burning with black flames and rushed towards Fang Yue and others.

"Be careful, these puppets are difficult to deal with!"

Fang Yue reminded, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand shone brightly, and he performed a set of fierce sword moves, and started a fierce fight with the puppets.

The martial arts masters also used their unique skills one after another. Some used their palm skills to create strong air currents, trying to blow away the flames on the puppets; some used magic weapons, which emitted a dazzling light to compete with the flames of the puppets. .

The elites of the imperial court used the weapons in their hands to find the puppet's flaws and deliver a fatal blow.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the puppets were gradually eliminated, but Fang Yue and others also paid a heavy price. Many people were injured and exhausted.

"Everyone, hold on, as long as we destroy the formation, all this will be over!" Fang Yue encouraged morale, and then led the remaining people into the bell tower.

Inside the bell tower, there was an even stronger aura of evil.

In the center of the bell tower, they found a huge talisman array, in which was placed a magic crystal emitting dark light.

The magic crystal is surrounded by black flames, and the flames continue to pour into the magic crystal, making its light stronger and stronger.

"This is the formation eye!" Fang Yue was overjoyed and rushed towards the magic crystal without hesitation.

Just when he was about to touch the magic crystal, a black light suddenly shot out from the magic crystal and shot toward Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was unable to dodge and was hit by the light. His body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Master Fang!" Everyone exclaimed and gathered around.

Fang Yue struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm fine. The defense of this magic crystal is very strong, so we can't force it. Let's work together to figure out how to destroy it."

Everyone began to discuss countermeasures. Some suggested using powerful spells to attack the magic crystal, while others suggested finding the weakness of the magic crystal and then killing it with one blow.

At this moment, the old man who was good at formations spoke again: "I observed the energy flow of this magic crystal and found that it formed a cycle with the surrounding flames. If we can cut off the connection between the flames and the magic crystal, Maybe we can weaken the power of the magic crystal and then destroy it.”

Fang Yue's eyes lit up and he said: "This plan is feasible. We are divided into two groups. One group is responsible for containing the flame and preventing it from getting close to the magic crystal; the other group works with me to find a way to cut off the connection."

Everyone acted quickly and divided into two groups according to Fang Yue's arrangement.

Fang Yue led a group of people to search carefully around the magic crystal, and finally found a small energy channel at the bottom of the magic crystal.

This channel connects the magic crystal with the flame outside, and is the key to the transmission of flame energy.

"This is it!" Fang Yue was overjoyed. The long sword in his hand gathered powerful power and slashed towards the energy channel.

With a loud noise, the energy channel was cut off, and the light of the magic crystal dimmed instantly.

The flame also lost its power and began to die out.

"Successful!" Everyone cheered.

Fang Yue looked at the gradually extinguishing flames and the destroyed talisman array, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knows that this is just a small victory in the fight against evil forces, and there are more challenges waiting for them.

He arranged for people to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. At the same time, he recorded the situation here in detail and prepared to take it back to the capital to study with the court and various sects in order to better deal with subsequent attacks by evil forces.

After returning to the capital, Fang Yue reported the details of the small town to the Empress of Wei Zhu Linlang and the heads of various sects.

After everyone heard this, they had a deeper understanding of the evil forces' methods, and also realized the difficulty of this confrontation between good and evil.

Empress Zhu Linlang pondered for a moment and then said: "Fang Yue, you have made great achievements again this time. But judging from this series of events, the conspiracy of the evil forces is becoming more and more complex, and we must strengthen prevention and response. What do you think?"

Fang Yue clasped his fists in salute and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can set up more early warning formations in important towns and strongholds in various places. Once there is an invasion of evil forces, we can detect and sound the alarm in time.

At the same time, we will continue to increase support for Jianghu sects and encourage them to research ways to crack evil formations and spells. In addition, the dangers of evil forces can be further publicized among the people, so that people can more actively participate in the confrontation. "

The heads of various sects nodded and agreed with Fang Yue's proposal.

Subsequently, with the joint efforts of the imperial court and various sects, a series of measures began to be implemented throughout the Wei Dynasty.

Early warning arrays have been gradually established in various towns and traffic arteries. Jianghu sects have also increased their training for their disciples in dealing with evil forces. The common people have become more vigilant. Once suspicious situations are discovered, they will quickly report them to the government or the local Jianghu. organize.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. In a valley at the junction of the Wei Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, a mysterious thick fog appeared. This thick fog spreads very quickly and has a strange magical power. Anyone who enters the thick fog will lose their way and then disappear mysteriously. The local defenders and people were panic-stricken, and there were rumors that this was another evil force making trouble.

After Fang Yue learned the news, he volunteered again and rushed to the valley alone.

When he came to the edge of the valley, he saw that the thick fog was like a huge monster, constantly devouring everything around it.

Fang Yue tried to use his energy to send a stream of air into the thick fog, wanting to detect the situation of the thick fog, but as soon as the airflow entered, it disappeared without a trace, as if it was completely assimilated by the thick fog.

"This thick fog is not simple, you can't enter rashly, observe the surroundings first, and see if you can find a way to crack it." Fang Yue said cautiously.

Fang Yue began to walk slowly along the edge of the valley, his eyes were like torches, carefully examining the surrounding grass, trees, rocks and soil, not missing any place that might hide clues.

Suddenly, he saw some faint marks on the cliff on one side of the valley. Those marks were extremely secretive, and if you don't get close and take a closer look, they would easily be overlooked. Fang Yue performed Qinggong, jumped, and came to the front of the cliff in a few ups and downs. He reached out his hand and gently brushed away the moss and dust covering the marks, and found that these marks actually formed some obscure rune patterns.

Fang Yue frowned slightly, thinking to himself that these runes seemed to contain some mysterious power, and might be inextricably linked to the thick fog. He tried to interpret these runes with the knowledge he had accumulated from studying ancient books in the past.

At this moment, a strange whistling sound came from the valley, as if it was a warning from some unknown existence, and the thick fog began to slowly surge towards the cliff where Fang Yue was, as if it had sensed that someone was exploring its secrets and wanted to swallow Fang Yue as well.

Fang Yue was unmoved and continued to study the runes with full concentration. As his understanding of the runes gradually deepened, he found that these runes were like an ancient sealing technique, but they were triggered for some reason, thus releasing the thick fog, and also produced the strange effect of making people lose their way and disappear strangely.

"It seems that the key to dispelling this thick fog lies in these runes." Fang Yue muttered to himself.

He carefully stretched out his fingers, condensed the vitality in his body, and began to try to repair those parts that looked a little incomplete and disordered according to the rune repair method he had learned. Each stroke required a lot of vitality and energy. Fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of Fang Yue's forehead, but his eyes were still firm and his hands did not stop moving at all.

Just after Fang Yue repaired a part of the runes, the surging speed of the thick fog slowed down significantly, and the original spreading trend was also curbed. This made Fang Yue happy, knowing that his direction was correct, so he continued to repair the runes more attentively.

However, at the critical moment when he was about to complete the rune repair, several black light and shadows suddenly shot out from the depths of the thick fog, shooting towards Fang Yue like sharp arrows. Fang Yue sensed that danger was approaching, and hurriedly dodged sideways, but the light and shadow were extremely fast, and one of them still brushed his arm, instantly cutting a wound, and blood oozed out.

"Humph, it turns out that the evil forces behind this will not let me easily solve the mystery of the thick fog." Fang Yue snorted coldly, ignoring the injury on his arm, he mobilized his vitality again and accelerated the speed of rune repair.

Finally, with the last stroke, the runes suddenly burst into a soft light, and the light slowly spread out. Wherever it went, the thick fog quickly dissipated as if it had met its nemesis. After a while, the mysterious thick fog that had been shrouding the valley for a long time disappeared completely, and the valley was clear again.

But before Fang Yue could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw an old building that looked quite gloomy in the valley that was originally covered by thick fog. The door of the building was closed, and the door was also engraved with various strange runes. There was a chilling evil atmosphere around it, as if countless eyes were peeping in the dark.

Fang Yue clenched the long sword in his hand and walked towards the old building carefully. When he walked to the front door, he could clearly feel a strong resistance, as if there was some kind of barrier preventing outsiders from entering.

Fang Yue circulated his energy and gently slapped the barrier, which immediately caused a wave of energy. But the barrier just shook slightly, and there was no sign of being broken.

"It seems that this barrier is quite tricky. I have to find a way to break it." Fang Yue thought in his heart and began to check around the building, trying to find the weak point of the barrier so that he could break through it in one fell swoop, go in and find out the evil forces behind it.

Fang Yue carefully observed the environment around the building and found that the light of the barrier was slightly dim when it approached a low-lying area behind the building. He thought to himself that maybe there was a breakthrough point.

Fang Yue came to the low-lying area, took a deep breath, and circulated his energy to the extreme. He danced with both hands, and the long sword drew mysterious sword marks in the air. He chanted something and performed a set of sword techniques specifically for breaking the formation. As the sword moves were performed, sword energy whistled towards the weak point of the barrier.

The sword energy hit the barrier, making a series of roars, and the barrier began to tremble violently, with light flickering. Fang Yue increased his strength and continued to stimulate the sword energy. The veins on his forehead bulged and sweat fell like rain.

Finally, after a flash of dazzling light, the barrier was torn open. Fang Yue did not hesitate, and his figure flashed and drilled in through the hole.

As soon as he entered the building, a foul and pungent smell hit him in the face, making Fang Yue frown. It was dark and damp inside, and some mosses emitting a faint green light hung on the walls, barely illuminating the surroundings.

Fang Yue walked slowly along a narrow passage, alertly paying attention to the movements around him. Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from the front. He immediately stopped, grasped his long sword, and waited for battle.

A group of black-robed people slowly appeared at the end of the passage. Their eyes were empty, holding various strange weapons in their hands, and exuding an evil aura.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" One of the black-robed people asked hoarsely.

Fang Yue sneered: "You evil people are a disaster to the world. Today I am here to put an end to your evil deeds!"

After that, Fang Yue took the lead in launching an attack. He used his sharp sword skills, and the sword shadow was like lightning, stabbing at the black-robed crowd. The black-robed people were not to be outdone, and they all waved their weapons to meet him.

The battle broke out instantly. Fang Yue shuttled freely among the black-robed people. His sword skills were exquisite, and every sword could accurately stab the black-robed people's vital points. But these black-robed people seemed to be unaware of pain, and they still attacked frantically even if they were injured.

In the fierce battle, Fang Yue found that the power of these black-robed men seemed to come from a kind of black crystal they wore. He decided to destroy these crystals first.

So Fang Yue changed his tactics. He avoided the attacks of the black-robed men and looked for opportunities to attack the crystals on them. When his long sword hit the crystal, the black-robed men would scream in pain and their power would be instantly weakened.

With Fang Yue's efforts, the black-robed men fell one after another. But just when he thought the battle was about to end, a powerful evil force wave came from the depths of the building.

Fang Yue's heart trembled, and he knew that the real challenge had just begun. He continued to move forward in the direction of the power fluctuation and came to a huge hall.

In the center of the hall was a huge talisman array, in which stood a mysterious man covered in a black robe. In the mysterious man's hand was a magic wand emitting a dark light, and a huge black gem was inlaid on the top of the magic wand, and the evil power was constantly surging in the gem.

"You are finally here, Fang Yue. Do you think you can stop our plan? Too naive!" The mysterious man laughed low and hoarsely. (End of this chapter)
