Chapter 540 Harvest

Fang Yue's eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness. He snorted coldly and responded, "Don't be arrogant. I will put an end to all your evil deeds today!"

After that, he clenched the long sword, and the vitality in his body continued to pour into it. The sword was shining brightly, as if there was a spiritual light flowing.

The mysterious man saw this, but was not afraid at all. He waved the magic wand in his hand fiercely, and the huge rune array instantly shone with light. One after another, black runes floated out of the array like living things and quickly attacked Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's figure flashed, and he displayed exquisite body skills, flexibly shuttled between the runes, and at the same time swung the sword to cut the approaching runes.

Every rune touched by the long sword would burst out a burst of black smoke, which contained a trace of evil power, trying to erode Fang Yue's body.

Fang Yue circulated his vitality to form a thin layer of protection on the surface of his body to resist the invasion of the evil power.

While dodging the rune attack, he waited for an opportunity to approach the mysterious man. He knew that only by subduing the mysterious man first could he completely destroy the rune formation and stop the evil forces' conspiracy from continuing to ferment.

Just as Fang Yue was about to approach the mysterious man, the mysterious man recited an obscure spell, and the ground around the rune formation suddenly cracked, and several iron chains with black flames emerged from it. The iron chains, like spirit snakes, entangled Fang Yue.

Fang Yue hurriedly waved his sword to block, and the iron chain collided with the long sword, making a series of metal and iron clanging sounds and splashing a series of sparks.

Fang Yue felt his arm was slightly numb from the shock, and was secretly shocked by the power of the iron chain.

But he had no intention of retreating. Seeing the gap between the iron chain attacks, he suddenly jumped up, and with the help of the rebound force of the wall, he rushed to the top of the rune formation where the mysterious man was.

He wanted to find an opportunity to attack the mysterious man from above and disrupt his control of the rune formation.

The mysterious man seemed to see through Fang Yue's intention, with a mocking smile on his lips. He pointed the magic wand in his hand towards the sky, and a strong suction force surged from the rune array, causing Fang Yue's figure to stagnate in the air.

Then, more black runes gathered together to form a huge black rune vortex, sweeping towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue gritted his teeth, forced himself to stabilize his body, gathered all his vitality at the tip of the sword, and shouted: "Demon Slash!" A dazzling white sword energy gushed out from the tip of the sword, rushing straight towards the rune vortex.

The sword energy collided with the vortex, erupting with a thunderous roar, the whole hall shook violently, and the stones on the wall fell.

In this violent collision, Fang Yue felt that his vitality was greatly consumed, but he still held on, taking advantage of the moment when the rune vortex was temporarily blocked, and rushed towards the mysterious man again.

A trace of panic finally flashed across the mysterious man's face. He didn't expect Fang Yue to be so tenacious that he could break through his attacks again and again.

At this time, Fang Yue had already come close to the mysterious man. He waved his long sword and performed a set of extremely sharp sword moves. The shadow of the sword was heavy and covered the mysterious man.

In a hurry, the mysterious man could only wave his magic wand to resist. Every collision between the magic wand and the long sword would stir up a circle of energy ripples and spread around.

In the fierce confrontation, Fang Yue saw the opportunity, and a feint passed the mysterious man's defense, and the long sword stabbed the magic wand in the mysterious man's hand.

There was a crisp sound of "clang", and the long sword pierced the magic wand, splashing a brilliant light.

The mysterious man only felt a strong force coming, his arm was numb, and he almost couldn't hold the magic wand.

Fang Yue took advantage of the victory to pursue, not giving the mysterious man a chance to breathe, and attacked the mysterious man with a series of sword moves.

The mysterious man retreated and blocked, and was gradually forced to the edge of the talisman formation.

At this moment, a trace of determination flashed in the eyes of the mysterious man. He ignored his own safety and suddenly inserted the magic wand into the black gem in the center of the talisman array.

In an instant, the black gem burst out with a super strong evil power. The whole hall was filled with this power. Fang Yue felt as if a mountain was pressing on him, and his movements became extremely difficult.

With the help of this power, the mysterious man flashed and distanced himself from Fang Yue. He stood on the other side of the talisman array with a ferocious smile on his face: "Fang Yue, you forced me to do it. Now I will let you see the true power of this talisman array!"

As the mysterious man's voice fell, countless black shadows emerged from the talisman array. These shadows gradually condensed into various ferocious monsters, and they rushed towards Fang Yue with their fangs and claws.

Fang Yue looked at the surging army of monsters in front of him, and although he was shocked, he was not afraid.

He took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, and condensed the remaining vitality in his body to prepare for this fierce battle.

He used a set of sword techniques specifically designed to restrain monsters, and his sword moves were sharp and unpredictable.

Every time he thrust out his sword, he could accurately hit the monster's vital parts, splashing a cloud of black smoke.

However, there were so many monsters, and one group fell and another group came up, as if endless.

While fighting, Fang Yue paid attention to the changes in the talisman array.

He found that the power of these monsters seemed to be closely related to the black gem in the center of the talisman array.

As long as he could destroy the gem, he might be able to weaken the power of the monsters, or even completely destroy them.

So Fang Yue decided to take a risk.

He spotted an opening and used the "Phantom Steps", his body turned into a phantom, and rushed towards the center of the talisman array.

The monsters noticed Fang Yue's intention and gathered around him, trying to stop him.

Fang Yue waved his sword, blocked left and right, and fought fiercely with the monsters.

He was already injured in many places, and his clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes were still firm, and he had no intention of retreating.

After breaking through many obstacles, Fang Yue finally came to the center of the talisman array.

He raised his sword high, gathered all his strength, and shouted: "Sword of Breaking the Array!" A dazzling light shot out from the tip of the sword and rushed straight to the black gem.

Just when the light was about to hit the gem, the mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yue, and the magic wand in his hand released a powerful dark force, which collided with Fang Yue's sword energy.

"Fang Yue, do you think you can easily destroy my plan? Too naive!" The mysterious man laughed wildly.

Fang Yue gritted his teeth, increased his power output, and started a thrilling duel with the mysterious man.

The power of the two intertwined and collided in the air, generating huge energy fluctuations, and the entire hall was tottering under the impact of this power.

At the critical moment, Fang Yue suddenly remembered a method he had seen in ancient books to crack the evil power.

He decided to go all out and adjust the running route of the vitality in his body according to the records in the ancient books, and then inject a special power into the long sword.

The long sword instantly shone brightly, and the light contained a pure and powerful power.

Fang Yue swung the sword again and slashed at the mysterious man and the black gem.

This time, the mysterious man could no longer resist Fang Yue's attack.

He was knocked out by the powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.

The black gem also cracked under the impact of this force, and the light gradually dimmed.

As the black gem was damaged, the monsters also lost their power and turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared.

After Fang Yue successfully cracked the talisman array, defeated the mysterious man and made the monsters dissipate, he did not relax his vigilance. He knew that there might be more secrets and resources of evil forces hidden here, so he began to search carefully in this old building.

In a hidden corner of the hall, Fang Yue found a secret compartment.

He carefully opened the secret compartment, and saw a strange light flashing inside, with several precious treasures of heaven and earth placed inside.

There is an ice spirit crystal that emits a faint blue light and seems to contain endless icy power. The spiritual power fluctuations inside are extremely pure. If it is used, it will definitely improve the strength of those who practice ice-based exercises;

There is also a flame-like, flaming, and incredibly hot Yanyangzhi. Just getting close can feel the hot energy. For those who practice fire-attributed exercises, it is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought;

In addition, a round spiritual source bead lies quietly in it, and the halo on the surface of the bead flows, which seems to gather the essence of the surrounding spiritual energy, which can help warriors quickly recover their vitality and increase the speed of practice.

After Fang Yue carefully put away these treasures of heaven and earth, he continued to explore the building. In a secret room, he found some dusty scrolls.

The pages of these scrolls are yellowed and exude an old smell, but the handwriting on them is clearly legible.

Fang Yue opened the scroll and found that it recorded the organizational structure and personnel distribution of some evil forces.

It listed in detail some hidden strongholds in various parts of Wei, as well as the information of the leaders and main members of each stronghold.

This made Fang Yue realize that what they had discovered before was just the tip of the iceberg of the evil forces, and their sphere of influence was much wider than imagined.

In addition, the scroll also mentioned several major actions secretly planned by the evil forces. Each action was aimed at disrupting the stability of Wei, creating panic and chaos, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits and further expand their sphere of influence.

One of the plans was to cast a special evil poison at the water source of several important cities in Wei. The evil poison was extremely secretive and could not be detected by ordinary means. Once it flowed into the water source for people to drink daily, it would make the drinker unconsciously eroded, become manic and irritable, and even lose reason and kill each other.

Such a large-scale chaos will inevitably paralyze all parts of the Wei Dynasty. At that time, the court's energy will be dispersed on quelling the civil strife, and there will be no time to take care of their subsequent more sinister plots.

Another plan is to excavate several royal tombs of the Wei Dynasty. Those tombs are said to contain many ancient magic weapons and mysterious elixirs that can enhance power. The evil forces want to obtain these treasures to arm their core members and enhance their overall strength, so that they can be more confident when facing the encirclement and suppression of the court and the rivers and lakes.

Fang Yue was more and more frightened, knowing that once these plans were implemented, the Wei Dynasty would be doomed to fall into an irretrievable situation.

He hurriedly memorized these key information recorded in the scroll in his heart, not daring to miss anything.

Continuing to look through the scroll, it also recorded some cases of collusion between evil forces and external forces. There were actually many forces in the Jin Dynasty that secretly supported them, not only providing them with various rare cultivation resources, but also helping them to train killers and assassins, specifically to deal with the court officials of the Wei Dynasty and the righteous people in the rivers and lakes.

After reading these contents, Fang Yue knew that he had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to pass on these crucial intelligence.

He carefully put the scroll away and found a strange map on the wall of the secret room. The map looked very old and marked some unclear places. Some places were marked with red runes, and some were marked with black runes.

Fang Yue speculated that these marked locations may be related to the strongholds of evil forces or the source of some mysterious power they are looking for.

Although he could not fully interpret all the information contained in the map for a while, Fang Yue carefully took off the map and put it properly into his arms.

As soon as Fang Yue put the map away, he heard slight footsteps coming from behind. He turned around alertly and saw an old man with a vicissitudes of face appearing at the door of the secret room.

The old man looked at Fang Yue with a complicated expression in his eyes: "Young man, your ability to crack the evil power here is truly extraordinary."

Fang Yue frowned slightly, held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The old man sighed softly: "I was originally the guardian of this valley. I was imprisoned here by evil forces many years ago. They tried to learn from me the whereabouts of an ancient treasure in the valley. I would rather die than surrender, so I have been trapped in this place. here."

Fang Yue's heart moved: "Then do you know more about their conspiracy?"

The old man nodded slowly: "Although I am trapped, I can occasionally hear a few words from them. In addition to the plans recorded in the scrolls, they are also secretly developing an evil spell that can control people's hearts. Once successful, they will Select innocent people from various towns in Wei for experiments, and then gradually control the people of the entire Wei."

Fang Yue's face was solemn: "Is there a way to break this spell?"

The old man shook his head: "I only know that they are looking for a kind of fairy grass called 'Lingxin Grass'. It is said that this grass can detoxify hundreds of poisons and can also resist such spells that control people's hearts. However, this Lingxin Grass is extremely rare." , growing by the spiritual spring in an extremely cold place."

Fang Yue thought for a moment: "Thank you, senior, for telling me. I will do my best to stop them."

The old man looked at Fang Yue again: "Young man, your journey to the capital is long and dangerous. The evil forces will definitely send people to intercept you on the way, so you must be careful."

Fang Yue cupped his fists and saluted: "Senior, don't worry, I will deal with it carefully. It's just the evil atmosphere in this valley. I'm worried that trouble will arise in the future. I wonder what senior can do?"

The old man took out a small object that exuded a faint golden light from his arms: "This is a sealing talisman that I have made by condensing my spiritual power over the years. Although it cannot completely eliminate evil, it can temporarily suppress the evil power here. You can use it to Just place it in the center of the talisman array in the hall."

Fang Yue took the talisman: "Thank you for your help, senior. When I report this matter to the court, I will definitely send someone to rescue senior." (End of Chapter)
