Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 89 Illusion!

Xiao Chen and his group stood in front of a desolate valley. The entrance of the valley was rocky and there was a faint sense of solemnity.

"I say, is this place reliable? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a mass grave of some unlucky guy." The big black dog grinned, looking reluctant.

Xiao Chen kicked it in anger and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Tu Fei went to so much trouble to get this treasure map, how could it be fake?"

Yao Chi Saint Lady still had that cold look on her face, her face covered by a white veil, making it impossible to see her expression. She simply said, "The spiritual energy here is disordered, and the terrain is dangerous. It does have the characteristics of an ancient relic."

Jiang Huairen scratched his head naively: "I'll listen to Brother Chen. It doesn't matter where we go!"

Among the group, only Xiao Chen was in high spirits. The bottleneck of the Four Extremes Realm made him urgently need more powerful strength.

Tu Fei's news came at the right time. It was said that this relic contained the inheritance of an ancient powerful being, which might help him break free from his shackles.

At the entrance of the valley, there stands a huge stone tablet with some ancient words engraved on it, emitting a faint light.

"Woof! This is the writing of the ancient demon tribe. It looks like some kind of... seal?" The big black dog widened his eyes and identified it carefully.

Xiao Chen frowned. He didn't understand the demon language, so he could only look at the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

Yao Chi Saintess took a few steps forward, gently stroking the stone tablet with her jade hand. A strange color flashed in her cold eyes: "This is an ancient sealing technique that requires a specific spell to unlock it, but..."

There was a hint of hesitation in her tone, "This seal seems to have been broken."

"Has it been destroyed? Could it be that someone has already gotten there first?" Xiao Chen's heart sank. This was not good news.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A sinister laugh came from the depths of the valley, and then several dark shadows rushed out like ghosts, blocking their way.

“There is a road to heaven, but you don’t take it. You break into hell without a door! Hand over the treasure map and I will spare your lives!” The leader was wearing a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, and his voice was hoarse and harsh, like the cry of a night owl.

"Black Robe Messenger! It's you evil cultists again!"

"Hmph! You were lucky last time, but it won't be that easy this time!" The black-robed envoy sneered and waved his hand. The men behind him immediately pounced on Xiao Chen and the others.

"Huairen, protect the Saint!" Xiao Chen shouted softly, and moved to meet the black-robed messenger.

A melee broke out instantly!
Although the black-robed envoy's men were quite powerful, Xiao Chen was no pushover either. The power of the Four Extremes Realm surged through his body, and every move he made carried a powerful sense of oppression.

The big black dog was not idle either. Although it was not very strong, its ability to set up magic circles was first-class. Runes flew out from its claws, forming one trap after another on the ground.

Jiang Huairen closely guarded the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, dancing the long sword in his hand with great vigor, blocking all the approaching enemies.

However, the strength of the black-robed messenger was far beyond Xiao Chen's expectations. His moves were sinister and vicious, carrying an evil power that made Xiao Chen feel very uncomfortable.

"Boy, don't think you're great just because you defeated a few minions. Today I'll let you know how powerful I am!"

The black-robed messenger laughed strangely, formed seals with his hands, and a black mist emanated from his body, covering the surrounding space.

Xiao Chen only felt a flash before his eyes, as if he was in an endless darkness, and whispers came to his ears, as if countless evil spirits were roaring.

"Oh no, it's an illusion!" Xiao Chen was shocked and quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body to try to dispel the darkness.

A white-bearded old man appeared in front of Xiao Chen, holding a whisk in his hand, with an immortal look, like a god descending to earth.

"Don't panic, young friend. I'm here to help you!" The white-bearded old man smiled slightly and waved his whisk. Rays of white light sprinkled towards the black-robed messenger.

The black-robed messenger screamed and retreated violently, looking at the white-bearded old man in horror: "You... who are you?!"

"I'm just a passerby, and I can't stand you evil demons bullying others." The white-bearded old man smiled faintly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

With the help of the white-bearded old man, Xiao Chen suddenly felt the pressure reduced. He seized the opportunity and attacked the black-robed messenger with all his strength.

In the end, the black-robed messenger was defeated, let out a roar, and fled in a panic with his remaining men.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Xiao Chen bowed respectfully to the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor. However, this ruin is very dangerous, so it's best to be careful."

After saying this, the white-bearded old man disappeared from the spot in a flash, as if he had never appeared.

Xiao Chen looked at the direction where the white-bearded old man disappeared, his heart full of doubts. Who is this old man?

Why help yourself?
"Brother Chen, what should we do now?" Jiang Huairen asked.

Xiao Chen's eyes were determined: "Keep moving forward! Now that we've come this far, there's no reason to retreat!"

The group set out again, heading deeper into the valley.

The further you go in, the weirder the surrounding environment becomes, with rugged rocks and gusts of cold wind, as if you have entered a huge maze.

"Woof woof! There's something strange here, there's a weird smell in the air!" The big black dog kept sniffing and barking anxiously.

Xiao Chen also felt something was wrong. He circulated the spiritual power in his body and vigilantly observed everything around him.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and cracks spread under their feet, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

"Be careful!" Xiao Chen shouted softly, moved his body, and dodged to the side.

Black vines emerged from the ground and coiled towards them like pythons.

"What the hell is this?!" Jiang Huairen swung his long knife and chopped at the vines, but the vines were extremely tough and could not be cut at all.

"These are ancient soul-devouring vines that can absorb people's spiritual power!" The face of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi changed slightly, and she quickly reminded.

When the Soul-Devouring Vine encountered the flames, it immediately made a crackling sound and began to struggle violently.

However, there are too many vines, and they continue to emerge from the ground, making it impossible to completely remove them.

"We can't go on like this, we must find an exit as soon as possible!" Xiao Chen growled and led everyone rushing forward.

Just as they were running desperately, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of them, like a bright lamp in the darkness.

"It's the exit!"

However, when they rushed to the exit, they found someone already standing there.

The man was wearing a gray robe and had his back to them. His face could not be seen clearly, but he exuded a powerful aura.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time." The gray-robed man slowly turned around, revealing a pale face. There was a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, which made people shudder.

"What do you want?" Xiao Chen asked.

"What I want is very simple, that is the treasure map in your hands." The gray-robed man stretched out his hand and pointed at the treasure map in Xiao Chen's hand.

"Impossible!" Xiao Chen flatly refused. He had gone through untold hardships to obtain this treasure map. How could he hand it over so easily?
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." The gray-robed man sneered, moved his body, and pounced towards Xiao Chen.

Suddenly, the entire ruins began to shake violently!
"Rumble..."

The deafening roar was like the collapse of the sky and the earth, which made people terrified.

"What's going on?!" Li Heishui exclaimed, his face pale, obviously frightened by this sudden change.

Before anyone could react, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and a gigantic claw suddenly stretched out!

"Roar!" A shocking roar made everyone's eardrums hurt, as if it was going to tear people's souls apart.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure slowly rose from the crack in the ground.

It was an indescribable monster!
It was huge, more than ten feet tall, covered with thick scales, and gleaming with a dim light.

Its head looked like a huge wolf's head, hideous and ferocious, and its two eyes were like two blood-red lanterns, emitting a bloodthirsty light.

Its limbs are thick and powerful, and each claw is like a sharp blade, exuding a terrifying aura.

As soon as this giant appeared, the temperature of the entire ruins seemed to drop by several degrees, making people feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Oh my God...what is this thing?!" Wu Zhongtian widened his eyes in horror, his voice trembling.

Xiao Chen was also startled by the sudden appearance of the giant monster, but he quickly calmed down.

He knew that now was not the time to be afraid, and he had to find a way to resolve the crisis at hand!

"Everyone be careful! This monster is not easy to deal with!" Xiao Chen warned in a deep voice, while tightly gripping the sword in his hand.

The giant monster's scarlet eyes scanned everyone, as if sizing up its prey.

Suddenly, it opened its bloody mouth and a stream of blazing flames suddenly spurted out!

"call--!"

The flames burst like a flood, instantly engulfing the entire passage.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Chen shouted loudly, and at the same time, he flashed and avoided the attack of fire.

Others also dodged and looked miserable.

The big black dog dodged while cursing, "Oh my god! What the hell is this thing? It can even spit fire!?"

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was as light as a crane. She danced gracefully in the flames, dodging the attacks of the flames and appearing exceptionally calm.

The white-bearded old man's hair and beard were all standing tall. He waved the whisk in his hand, and a soft light enveloped him. The flames could not get close to him at all.

The man in gray robe had a strange figure, like a ghost, moving back and forth in the flames, making it impossible to grasp his movements.

The flame lasted for a moment before gradually dying out.

The passage was in a mess, with traces of fire everywhere.

"Cough cough... This monster is too powerful. We can't fight it head-on!" Li Heishui said while coughing.

"We must find a way to find its weakness!" Jiang Huairen said in a deep voice, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The big black dog's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something. He carefully observed the giant monster's actions.

"After each attack, there is a brief pause, and its weakness seems to be..." The big black dog lowered his voice and told everyone his discovery.

After hearing this, everyone was immediately cheered up.

If we can really find the giant monster's weakness as the big black dog said, there will still be a glimmer of hope!
"Okay! Let's deal with it according to this!" Xiao Chen said decisively.

Everyone immediately began to formulate a battle plan.

Xiao Chen and Jiang Huairen were responsible for attracting the giant monster's attention, while the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi and the white-bearded old man were looking for the giant monster's weaknesses and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The man in gray robe was gathering strength, preparing to launch a powerful spell attack.

Once the plan was made, everyone started to act immediately.

Xiao Chen and Jiang Huairen rushed towards the giant monster from the left and right.

When the giant monster saw someone rushing towards him, he roared angrily and waved his huge claws towards the two people.

Xiao Chen and Jiang Huairen were agile and dodged the giant monster's attack.

Xiao Chen swung his sword and slashed at the giant's body, but the sword only left a shallow mark on the giant's scales and could not hurt it at all.

Jiang Huairen swung his fist and hit the troll's leg, but his fist hit the troll's leg like hitting steel, and it made his arm numb.

The giant monster's attacks became more and more fierce. Xiao Chen and Jiang Huairen could only keep dodging, and they were in danger all the time.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi and the white-bearded old man carefully observed the giant monster's actions, looking for its weaknesses.

"Its eyes! Its eyes are its weakness!" Yao Chi Saint suddenly said, her voice cold and firm.

"Okay! Let me try!" The white-bearded old man nodded, waved the whisk in his hand, and a soft light shot into the giant monster's eyes.

The troll seemed to sense danger and quickly closed his eyes.

The light shone on the giant's eyelids, but it was like a drop in the ocean, without any effect.

"It's useless! Its eyelids are also very hard!" said the white-bearded old man with a frown.

Just when everyone felt that the situation was a little tricky, the man in gray robe suddenly moved!
He formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a powerful energy gathered in his body.

"go with!"

The gray-robed man suddenly opened his eyes, and a dazzling light shot out from his hands and headed straight for the troll.

The light was extremely fast and hit the giant monster in an instant.

The giant monster let out a shrill scream and its body began to tremble violently.

Obviously, the gray-robed man's spell attack caused great damage to the troll.

"Now! Attack!" Xiao Chen shouted loudly.

He seized the opportunity and displayed his strongest swordsmanship - "Sword Drawing"!
"call out--!"

A dazzling sword light cut through the void, like lightning, piercing the giant monster's eyes.

With this sword, Xiao Chen poured all his strength into it and concentrated all his energy and spirit!
The sword light instantly hit the giant monster's eyes.

"puff--!"

With a dull sound, the sword light pierced through the giant monster's eyelids and pierced into its eyeball.

The giant monster let out an even more shrill scream and began to struggle frantically.

Its eyes are its weakest point and also its most fatal weakness!
Xiao Chen's sword completely broke the giant monster's defense and caused it to suffer heavy damage!

Just when everyone thought victory was assured, a figure rushed out from the corner of the passage.

"Hahaha! This monster is dying! Let me give it the final blow!"

The person who came was Duan De who had sneaked away before!
