Chapter 1738 Humanoid Shadow
Reminding Yang Yiyi and the others to be careful, everyone immediately raised the lighting tools in their hands and looked carefully to see if anything suddenly jumped out with every step they took.
But this careful operation seemed to be in vain. After Li Chengqi issued the warning, everyone walked forward for twenty or thirty meters, but there was still no movement.
Even Li Chengqi himself felt that he was a little nervous. After all, the corpses here were almost a thousand years old, so any mechanism should have failed.
Thinking of this, Yang Yiyi and the others had already walked onto the circular martial arts field, because this was the only way to go to the stone gate at the back, otherwise they would have to cross the river.
The moment he stepped into the martial arts arena, Li Chengqi saw a flash of golden light on the screen, and a circle of golden lines seemed to light up around the entire circular martial arts arena.
The golden color lit up quickly along the patterns on the martial arts field. It seemed to be some kind of magic circle, but Li Chengqi definitely didn't recognize it.
Almost at the same time, a vague shadow appeared in the center of the martial arts arena. The details could not be seen clearly, but it was roughly the shape of a human being, squatting in the center with a lancet in one hand.
"Back off!"
All this happened in an instant. Yang Yiyi and the others felt like there was a flash of golden light in front of their eyes. Before they could see clearly what happened, they heard Li Chengqi's reminder.
Everyone felt a sudden shock in their hearts and quickly stepped back.
Qin Yan, who was walking at the front to explore the road, felt a strong wind approaching her face, and in the golden light she couldn't see what was approaching.
At the critical moment, a blue light appeared above Qin Yan's head, pressing her head down.
At that moment, everyone heard the sharp explosion of the blade tearing the air. Yang Yiyi and Ning Xianer quickly grabbed Qin Yan's hand and pulled her over.
Qin Yan, who was still in shock, touched his scalp. Under the illumination of the white light, he could see a few strands of black hair falling on the edge of the martial arts field. If it had been a little later, what fell off was not the hair, but Qin Yan's head.
The initiator of the attack was the humanoid figure that was squatting in the center just now.
Everyone took a few steps back and stood outside the circular martial arts arena.
At this time, the floor of this martial arts arena seemed to glow, like a stage or a ring.
The humanoid shadow looked like a 3D projection, standing on the edge of the circular martial arts arena and looking at Yang Yiyi and the others.
This phantom was wearing a plain white gown, with long hair tied into a ponytail. It could be identified that she was a woman, but her face could not be seen clearly.
Holding a lancet, an iron-toothed fan and a judge's pen on his waist, he had the aura to split people open at any time just by standing there.
However, she seemed unable to come out of the martial arts arena. She just stood on the edge and looked at Yang Yiyi and the others, motionless.
"Ghost...Ghost!?"
Yang Yiyi simply turned on the vibration mode, shaking violently from head to toe.
"Not a ghost"
Li Chengqi asked her to calm down:
"That's actually a spell effect, or more similar to summoning a creature."
This thing was extremely hidden, and Li Chengqi couldn't see it before it was activated.
It stands to reason that nothing can escape God’s observation, and it must be somewhat miraculous.
For the sake of safety, everyone retreated a little further. Seeing this, the humanoid figure walked back to the center of the martial arts field step by step and squatted down again.
As if telling Yang Yiyi and the others, as long as you don't come over, nothing will happen.
"I don't know much about magic. It seems like this thing should be some kind of defense mechanism."
Just like a golem, it will automatically activate and start attacking when there are intruders.
Now we know why there are so many radiating corpses around the martial arts field. It is probably because these people rushed up in a swarm and were instantly killed by invisible sharp knives.
But there is a problem.
The corpses were all outside the circular martial arts arena, indicating that the scope of this thing's activities was not limited to the martial arts arena. However, Yang Yiyi and the others retreated, but the thing did not pursue them.
This small detail caught Li Chengqi's attention. When he was thinking about the reason, Qin Yan said:
"Let's go around, everything will be fine, right?"
"Hard to say."
Li Chengqi stated his guess and then said:
"I know too little about her, let's test it out."
Upon hearing this, Ning Xianer nodded and said:
"I'll go ahead, my movement is the fastest."
In terms of speed, Yang Yiyi can catch up with Ning Xianer, but if flexibility is included, it won't work.
Ning Xian'er has the highest martial arts among these people, and was once regarded as a Super Saiyan by Li Chengqi. It would be safest for her to test it out.
But you still need to make some preparations.
Li Chengqi took out another holy emblem and handed it to Ning Xianer, asking Ning Xianer to wear the holy emblem. Li Chengqi could observe more accurately and help when necessary.
After getting ready, Ning Xianer moved her body, handed the flashlight to Yang Yiyi, and then walked step by step from the outside of the martial arts field to the mountain wall, trying to go around it.
At first, the human-shaped shadow in the center of the martial arts field did not react at all. When Ning Xianer walked to a position that was the same distance from the mountain wall and the martial arts field, the human-shaped shadow suddenly disappeared from the place.
"Watch out, it's coming!"
Ning Xian'er heard Li Chengqi's prompt and turned around to see a flash of light. The bright sword light seemed to tear apart the darkness in an instant.
Even if the knife looks like a shadow, it certainly cannot be forced.
Although the knife is fast, Ning Xianer can still cope with it.
She immediately bent down and lowered her head, the knife light flew over her head, and Ning Xianer stepped forward and pushed forward, hitting the phantom's chest with both palms.
And the phantom was not like a simple image, and it knew to withdraw the knife to defend itself. Ning Xianer hit the back of the knife with both palms.
The mobilized internal force was released, and the back of the knife hummed lightly.
Yang Yiyi's internal force was already very strong. It is no exaggeration to say that there are no more than ten people in the whole world who can compete with Yang Yiyi in internal force.
And Ning Xianer's internal force is even stronger than Yang Yiyi.
The characteristic of the Mayfly Divine Art is that it cannot be established without destruction, and it can glimpse the great way of heaven and earth through the cycle of life and death.
Although the name does not sound strong enough, the strong side of this thing is actually far beyond the Extreme Vajra Art.
Ning Xianer did not intend to show mercy, and she used her internal force with all her strength. In this case, even if Yang Yiyi went up to fight head-on, she would be knocked out.
However, the human-shaped phantom caught Ning Xianer's palms steadily, and even had enough strength to bounce back the internal force.
The Extreme Vajra Art is very hard and easy to break, and if it bounces back, it will definitely not end well.
However, the Mayfly Art has life and death, with a fierce and invincible side and a soft side.
As soon as they came into contact, Ning Xianer knew that she couldn't fight hard, and immediately withdrew her internal force and prepared to take it slowly.
Who knew that the phantom seemed to have predicted what Ning Xianer would do in advance, and took the opportunity to draw a knife. In an instant, Ning Xianer felt that there was an impenetrable knife net in front of her eyes, like a dazzling galaxy, which could not be looked at directly.
