Chapter 3208
Zixiao used to use the forbidden trick to face the world. He didn't want to work hard with the dark Lingxiao, but wanted to create an illusion and run away.
Although he was proud and conceited, he was not stupid. Seeing that he could not kill the dark sky, and even the falling crisis, he chose to escape here with great determination.
As soon as the devil came into the world, he used his blood to escape and left the battlefield in an instant.
"This son is a chaotic demon family with magic armor. He must be the strong enemy of unparalleled adult in the future. We must inform unparalleled adult as soon as possible and erase it!"
Zixiao thought to himself.
"Zixiao, you just left. I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"
Suddenly, a very harsh voice sounded.
Zixiao's body stiffened and suddenly found that ye Liangchen appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
The corners of Ye Liangchen's mouth were filled with a faint smile. He looked a little obscene. Facing the purple sky rushing towards him, he was happy and not afraid.
"Die!"
Zixiao's eyes flashed. Ye Liangchen was just the five Heaven of the emperor's territory. His breath was much weaker than the dark Lingxiao.
How dare you stop Lord Zixiao with something like a mole ant?
I don't know what to do!
Boom!
Zixiao's whole body was full of demonic Qi, and his speed did not weaken at all. Instead, he directly accelerated. The Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand was shrouded in blazing thunder and suddenly chopped down at ye Liangchen.
Whoosh!
Ye Liangchen was very slippery and very fast. He practiced the moving secret skill and understood the power of space. He saw a flash of light around him, but left a residual shadow, and the whole person disappeared directly.
Boom!
Fang Tianhua halberd lost his target and directly split a huge mountain below into pieces.
"Zixiao boy, I warn you that if you continue to fight me, something unexpected will happen!"
Ye Liangchen appeared ten thousand feet away and smiled at Zixiao.
"I don't know what to do!"
In Zixiao's eyes, the killing machine exploded and flashed. Holding Fang Tianhua halberd, he still moved forward and kept chopping down towards ye Liangchen.
But ye Liangchen is very fast and cunning. He often dodges before Zixiao takes action.
Zixiao, who was seriously injured at the moment, couldn't lock ye Liangchen at all, which made his heart more and more agitated.
The dark Lingxiao behind him didn't know why he didn't catch up, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
"You have to get out of here!"
Zixiao thought in her heart.
But no matter where he moves, ye Liangchen can always appear in front of him and constantly tease him.
"Zixiao, I'll warn you one last time. If you continue to fight me, I'm afraid you'll die without a place to bury!"
Ye Liangchen smiled proudly.
"Warn your mother ~ Bi!!!"
Zixiao cursed, and a mouthful of old blood almost gushed out. Under the attack of anger, Fang Tianhua halberd was urged to the extreme by him, and thunder came towards ye Liangchen like a chain of order.
At the same time, Fang Tian's Halberd seems to separate heaven and earth and turn into a rainbow, which is bright to the extreme.
"Zixiao, you're finished! If you dare to fight grandpa ye Liangchen, no one can save you!"
Ye Liangchen screamed and moved away directly.
Boom!
A huge mountain below is incomparably majestic, ancient and mysterious. After ye Liangchen moved away, Fang Tianhua halberd fell into the air and directly split on the huge mountain.
The rocks crumbled and the mountains shook.
However, the mountain was not directly split into pieces as expected. Instead, it could not be split down after splitting thousands of feet.
Roar!
A roar of fury shook the sky.
The mountain burst into pieces, and black tentacles rushed out of the mountain and rolled towards the purple sky.
The evil spirit of terror was surging, and the evil spirit was so fierce that everyone couldn't help shaking all over and turning white.
"No!"
As soon as Zixiao's face changed, he wanted to rush out.
However, the overwhelming black tentacles were as fast as lightning, and the speed reached the extreme. In an instant, they entangled the purple sky.
Among the huge mountains, a wild Warcraft rushed out. It was ten thousand feet tall, dark all over, covered with all kinds of tentacles, and its eyes were like a blood moon, cold and cruel.
The halberd painted by Fang Tian split on the top of the wild Warcraft, leaving a huge blood mark.
The wild Warcraft was originally sleeping in the mountains, but unexpectedly, it suffered a reckless disaster. It was directly split on the forehead by Zixiao, and then woke up.
The wild Warcraft was also completely angered. The killing intention in his eyes was boiling. He stared at Zixiao and pulled his tentacles crazy towards Zixiao.
Boom!
Zixiao roared again and again. The Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand was fierce and unparalleled. He kept cutting off those tentacles, but a new tentacle came out and shrouded Zixiao.
The black flame around the boundless Warcraft soared, and black light beams spewed out of its mouth, which contained strong corrosivity. A black light mass was formed in the void, like a boundary, trapping Zixiao in it.
"Get out of here!"
Zixiao roared and was full of evil Qi. He wanted to rush out.
However, this wild Warcraft has great strength and is not weaker than the peerless emperor. Now, after being angered by Zixiao, where will it stop? I want to break Zixiao into pieces.
"What a tragedy! I told you something would happen to you. Why don't you obey?"
Ye Liangchen sighed, his eyes full of sympathy.
"Ye Liangchen, you should be honest. Have you discovered this wild Warcraft long ago?"
Zhao Ritian flew over and looked at ye Liangchen suspiciously.
"I really didn't know there was a wild Warcraft here, but don't you think he will suffer sooner or later if he chases me?"
Ye Liangchen smiled triumphantly.
Zhao Ritian thought it was the same thing. When the wild Warcraft was sleeping, he restrained all his breath and hid in the mountains. Even the dark Lingxiao and Zixiao couldn't find its existence, and ye Liangchen couldn't find it.
But ye Liangchen is a man of bad luck. Anyone who wants to deal with him will be unlucky and encounter all kinds of accidents.
Zixiao was also sad and hurried. She was directly entangled by a wild Warcraft.
"Zixiao, where do you want to escape now?"
Dark Lingxiao said faintly, also appeared in front of Zixiao, and the magic armor on his arm burst out strange blood light.
Zixiao suddenly turned pale, and his eyes showed a look of incomparable despair.
The strength of this wild Warcraft is unparalleled. It is extremely difficult to deal with. At the moment, he has been hit hard again. There is darkness nearby. Where else can he escape?
The experimenters had long been scared away.
Even Zixiao is not the opponent of dark Lingxiao. They will die if they stay here.
"Boy, I'm waiting for you. Matchless adults won't let you go!!!"
Zixiao's mouth sent out a desperate roar, which was soon submerged by the endless tentacles of the boundless Warcraft.
The wild Warcraft seemed to have a brain problem. Even if the dark Lingxiao appeared, it was still determined to kill Zixiao.
Finally, Zixiao burst into despair.
Boom!
A statue of ancient Tianjiao exploded. Even the peerless emperor could not resist the terrible power. It was like destroying the sky and the earth, stirring up the void in all directions.
The blazing divine light swept away and turned all the mountains and lakes within tens of thousands of miles into powder.
Dark Lingxiao had been guarding against Zixiao for a long time, so she easily avoided it.
But the wild Warcraft didn't have such good luck. It was directly blown up and seriously injured.
Finally, the wild Warcraft also died in the hands of the dark Lingxiao!
"Great harvest! Hahaha... We sent it now. I didn't expect that there were so many magic crystals in the body of this wild Warcraft?!"
The eyes of Zhao Ritian and ye Liangchen were very excited.
The Honghuang Warcraft was killed by the dark Lingxiao. They found dozens of Tianmo crystals from the Honghuang Warcraft's body and its nest.
After they all know that the magic crystal is a good thing, they will not miss it.
"It's a pity that Zixiao chose to explode. Even Zixiao Leiji was destroyed. There must be a lot of Tianmo crystals in his hands!"
There was a trace of regret in the dark Lingxiao's eyes.
Zixiao exploded, and Zixiao thunder halberd broke into several pieces.
The heavenly magic crystals on Zixiao's body also turned into fragments.
The Tianmo crystal is a combination of pure evil Qi and evil Qi in the Tianmo abyss. It contains the origin of the evil way. Although the terrible evil Qi has a great impact on the yuan God, it is the supreme treasure for refining the flesh.
All of a sudden, I got so many heavenly magic crystals, which can make the flesh of dark Lingxiao and Zhao Ritian stronger.
"It's no pity! I know where there are a lot of heavenly magic crystals. I'm afraid you don't dare to go!"
Ye Liangchen's eyes turned and said with a smile.
"A large number of heavenly magic crystals? How many!"
Dark Lingxiao and Zhao Ritian's eyes are bright.
"There are at least 10000 heavenly magic crystals!"
Ye Liangchen stretched out a finger and said slowly.
"What?!"
Zhao Tianjing shouted, and his breathing became a little hasty.
"Where is it?"
The dark sky is also hot.
"The garrison envoy of the heavenly devil imperial city is named Mo Peng. He found a heavenly devil vein in the heavenly devil abyss, which produces heavenly devil crystals! However, there are a large number of guards and guards there, as well as the separate brand of Mo Peng. If we break through, Mo Peng will soon find out! It depends on whether you dare to be enemies with the garrison envoy!"
Ye Liangchen said with a smile.
"Guard envoy demon Peng? What's to be afraid of? Lingxiao has killed two guard envoys. If he dares to stop, we'll kill one guard envoys to play!"
Zhao Ritian smiled proudly.
Dark Lingxiao is also a movement in his heart. It's the mineral vein of Tianmo crystal. How many Tianmo crystals can there be?
I'm afraid it's much more than the 10000 heavenly magic crystals mentioned by Ye Liangchen.
"How did you know such top secret news?"
The dark Lingxiao looked at ye Liangchen and asked.
The Tianmo crystal is not only useful to the experimenter, but also an extremely precious treasure for those wild Warcraft. If there were a vein of Tianmo crystal, those wild Warcraft would have been tempted to rob it.
"The devil Peng is not a good thing. It's very difficult to mine the Tianmo crystal vein. He secretly caught many testers to mine the Tianmo crystal for him! I was almost caught by him. Later, I followed them and found the top secret place!"
Ye Liangchen explained.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Rob him. This demon Peng guard is not a good thing. We just walk on behalf of heaven!"
Zhao Ritian said with great excitement.
"OK! If we are in the demon Empire City, we are not the opponent of the garrison envoy, but what about the garrison envoy in the magic abyss? If you dare to stop, kill him directly!"
Dark Lingxiao nodded his head, and a trace of fierce awn appeared in his eyes.
After the three of them agreed, they cleaned the battlefield. One of them divided more than a dozen Tianmo crystals, and then went towards the Tianmo vein under the leadership of Ye Liangchen.
Sure enough, as ye Liangchen said, the location of the Tianmo vein is very secret. No wonder those wild Warcraft can't find it.
Deep in the abyss of heavenly demons, there is a huge lake. The lake water is very pure and contains a bright atmosphere.
It seems that the cathode generates Yang, and the magic gas around it is towering, but this lake is brilliant and holy.
And this holy breath is the most annoying thing for those wild Warcraft growing in the demon abyss.
The lake is Guangming lake!
The Tianmo vein is just below the Guangming lake.
"There is a huge underground vein in Guangming lake, which is shrouded by the boundary, and countless guards patrol. If we act rashly and scare the snake, I'm afraid it's difficult to enter the Tianmo vein!"
Ye Liangchen explained aloud.
"How do we get in? Just break in?"
Zhao Ritian asked.
"Hey, hey, is this a good time to live? I killed a guard and robbed the pass token in his hand. I'll disguise myself as the guard later, and you two are captives I caught and sent to the demon vein for mining. Let's go straight in!"
Ye Liangchen smiled triumphantly. The light in his hand flashed and a silver token appeared.
"In that case, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as Zhao Ritian's eyes lit up, he quickly said brightly.
"After we sneak into the Tianmo vein, it's up to you how much Tianmo crystal can dig. After being found by the guard, how to deal with the guard and the demon Peng garrison envoy depends on you!"
After giving an order, ye Liangchen directly took out a set of black armor and dressed neatly. Then the light around him flashed, and he became a cruel guard with a sinister face and murderous spirit.
Two black chains appeared in his hands, with bright runes and powerful sealing power.
The chain came in the air and directly tied Zhao Ritian and dark Lingxiao.
However, although the seal of the black chain is strong, it is nothing for dark Lingxiao and Zhao Ritian. They can break free at any time.
In this way, ye Liangchen, escorting the dark Lingxiao and Zhao Ritian, was filled with evil spirit, and his face was very cold. He swaggered towards the bright lake.
Although he was proud and conceited, he was not stupid. Seeing that he could not kill the dark sky, and even the falling crisis, he chose to escape here with great determination.
As soon as the devil came into the world, he used his blood to escape and left the battlefield in an instant.
