In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

After the Buddha's power shone, the five-colored light shield did indeed disappear more slowly, and the sandstorm blowing in was much smaller than expected.

Sha Xiao glanced back at the Great Thunderclap Temple, then looked away and murmured:

"I've done everything I could. Whether you survive or not is up to you."

In the direction of the Great Thunder Temple, a group of figures were panting heavily.

"I can't go on anymore. There's no danger here, shall we rest for a bit?"

A female student, panting, put her hands on her knees.

She wasn't the only one who was exhausted.

Once one person offered an opinion, everyone instinctively stopped.

"It's all your fault. Sha Xiao already told you to take it, but you insisted on doing it anyway. Now look what happened, the temple collapsed."

A boy was panting, looking angrily at the plaque behind Liu Yunzhi.

The sudden turn of events reminded everyone of Sha Xiao's warning.

Fearing the demons would burst forth, they turned and ran without a word, running until they were breathless.

We're all people who have been working for a few years and are in a sub-healthy state, so we're already not very active.

The entire route is through ruins, and although it's only a kilometer long, it's not an easy run.

With Sha Xiao by my side on the way here, I felt confident and had some fantasies about the future. Plus, we've all been taking our time, so no one has noticed yet.

Now that they were suddenly running, even though it was only a kilometer, everyone felt as if they were separated by a vast ocean.

Lin Jia, watching the increasingly large storm on the five-colored light barrier, urged:

"Let's hurry up and leave. That light barrier won't hold for long. What if the bronze coffin activates prematurely?"

"Oh, what's there to be afraid of? Didn't Sha Xiao and the others go back to prepare? He's keeping an eye on things; they're all classmates, he wouldn't just watch us die, would he?"

A boy took off his shoes, emptied the sand and gravel from them, and said nonchalantly.

"Ouch, I've sprained my ankle. I'd better rest for a while." Someone belatedly realized they were injured and started rubbing their ankle in pain.

"Stop talking, my shoelaces are all loose." A female student put down the small bell in her hand and started tying her shoelaces.

"ah......"

She suddenly let out a scream, fell to the ground with a thud, and never moved again.

Her face was filled with terror, and there was a bloody hole the size of a thumb on her forehead, from which blood was gushing out.

"What's going on?!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts filled with fear.

A vibrant life was suddenly lost, just moments ago when everyone was together.

But now he has left us forever, so suddenly and mysteriously.

Death was like an ancient rumor to them; when faced with it suddenly, everyone's minds went blank, unable to process what was happening.

Zhou Yi shuddered, the skull he had handed to Sha Xiao earlier flashing through his mind.

"Don't go near her!" he shouted, carefully approaching with his alms bowl in hand.

"when!"

The alms bowl in his hand trembled violently, and Zhou Yi felt a numbness in his fingers.

When he came to his senses, he found himself covered in a golden light, shining like an Arhat.

"Just as I thought!" He instantly knew his guess was correct, and quickly gripped the alms bowl, reaching out to take the small bell next to the deceased female classmate.

"These are demons beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple! Buddhist artifacts can ward them off! Everyone, quickly gather together and go back."

Zhou Yi handed the bell to a female classmate who hadn't received the Buddhist artifact and ran off quickly.

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and looked at the classmates around them who had received the Buddhist artifacts.

Suddenly, Liu Yunzhi, carrying the bronze plaque of the Great Thunder Temple on his back and holding a vajra, looked so reassuring.

That's a temple sign!

The seal did not break when Liu Yunzhi did not take it out of the temple.

Does this mean that the bronze plaque possesses the strongest power?

Moreover, Li Changqing, Liu Yunzhi's henchman, was also holding a purple fish drum, and his girlfriend Wang Yan was holding a tattered palm-leaf fan.

Seeing Liu Yunzhi and his group, who had already formed a small team, most people instinctively walked towards Liu Yunzhi.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yi and Lin Jia ran forward before their classmates even got close.

Gradually, the team split into two groups.

The previous wave consisted of Lin Jia and Zhou Yi, working alone.

The next wave consisted of a large group of more than a dozen people, with Liu Yunzhi's small team at its core.

No matter how hard they tried, the bronze plaque on Liu Yunzhi's body and the classmates clinging to him made it impossible for him to move quickly.

Gradually, they could only watch as Lin Jia and Zhou Yi, who were driving lightly, swung their legs and slowly left them behind.

"Huff, huff, what if they say we're already dead and make Sha Xiao activate the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?"

Someone's lips turned white, and they couldn't help but say something.

"What are you saying? I believe Zhou Yi and the others aren't that kind of people!" someone retorted, their voice trembling.

That's what I said, but once the thought started, I couldn't stop it.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but think of the jokes they had heard since childhood.

When you encounter a bear, you don't need to run faster than the bear, just faster than your companions.

Even if they try their best not to think about it, the more they try not to think about it, the more they will think about it.

Fuck you!

A male student suddenly sprang up and reached out to grab the vajra in Liu Yunzhi's hand.

"You!" Liu Yunzhi stared at the male classmate next to him with eyes wide open.

"Let go! Or we'll all die together!" the male student shouted angrily.

Liu Yunzhi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Ouch!" A group of classmates who were clinging to Liu Yunzhi lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Liu Yunzhi raised his foot and kicked the male student who hadn't yet regained his balance: "I was prepared for this!"

With a "thud," the male student was kicked away.

"Liu Yunzhi, you son of a bitch..."

The boy struggled to his feet and waved his arms, pointing at Liu Yunzhi.

A flash of dark light stopped the cursing abruptly.

A bloody hole appeared on the male student's forehead, and his waving arm fell limply to his side.

With a thud, he fell into the red sand, his blood making the crimson sand shine even brighter.

"Pah! You want to steal my stuff? You're asking for it!" Liu Yunzhi spat viciously, then lifted his leg and continued running forward.

"Wait for us!" the students who had fallen shouted.

Some people managed to get up in time and continue running with Liu Yunzhi, while others were a step too slow and were instantly pierced through the top of their heads by the demon.

Li Changqing couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

It is no more than ten centimeters long and only as thick as a finger. It looks like a snake but is not a snake. It resembles a crocodile but has no legs.

His lower abdomen was bald, and his entire body was covered with black scales, dark and menacing, like an evil creature from the underworld emerging from the forehead of the fallen classmate.

"vomit--!"

Li Changqing reached out and grabbed his throat, forcing himself to stop his churning stomach.

He endured the discomfort, tilted his head back and let the tears slide down his cheeks, and strode forward without daring to stop for a moment.

"thump!"

A person slipped and fell to the ground.

"thump!"

Another person couldn't keep up and fell behind the main group.

"thump!"

Liu Yunzhi's legs went weak, and he collapsed fifty paces from the five-colored altar.

He wasn't in good physical condition to begin with, and the vajra in his hand was already quite heavy, not to mention the bronze plaque on his back.

The fact that he's been able to run this far means his adrenaline is already at its maximum.

The fall was so sudden that his exhausted body didn't even have time to protect itself before the weight of the Great Thunder Temple plaque pressed down on him.

With a "crack," Liu Yunzhi's sternum was crushed, and his right knee hit a stone on the ground, bending sixty degrees to the right.

"Help me! Help me! Li Changqing, pull me up! I'll give you a raise when we get back!"

Having run to the point of oxygen deprivation and mental fog, Liu Yunzhi stretched out his arm and shouted instinctively.

The sound of footsteps approached him, but gradually faded away.

Liu Yunzhi looked up and saw Li Changqing picking up the vajra that he had dropped and handing it to the other remaining classmates, then climbing towards the five-colored altar with both hands and feet.

Li Changqing had already quietly distanced himself from Liu Yunzhi when Liu Yunzhi ruthlessly kicked his classmate out of the line, leaving the classmate who couldn't run to die alone.

Now, listening to Liu Yunzhi behind him, who was still trying to use the idea of ​​a pay raise to make him stop and save him?

Please, he's a corporate slave, not a slave. Doesn't he know who's in charge?

With the few remaining classmates, Li Changqing struggled to climb the five-colored altar, and respectfully presented the fish drum and vajra to Sha Xiao with both hands:

"Brother Xiao, we can't handle this, so we're leaving it to you."

Sha Xiao glanced at Li Changqing and his classmates, who were drenched in sweat, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Go in."

"Hey!" Li Changqing and his classmates nodded vigorously and rushed into the bronze coffin without looking back once.

"puff!!!"

Liu Yunzhi suddenly felt his blood rush to his head, his vision blurred, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

By the time he came to his senses, the main force of the divine crocodiles had already caught up with him.

He was surrounded by a dense swarm of crocodiles, which stood in front of him and looked at him mockingly.

"That place! If only we could get to that place..."

Liu Yunzhi ignored them, his fingers digging into the rubble, his bloodied knees rubbing against the stones.

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

The plaque of the Great Thunder Temple still radiates Buddhist light, shattering every approaching crocodile offspring and protecting Liu Yunzhi.

But lying on the ground, he could only watch helplessly as countless tiny crocodiles recklessly charged towards him.

One step, two steps!

Countless crocodiles used their own flesh and blood to constantly trigger vibrations, pushing Liu Yunzhi backward and rendering his efforts futile.

The massive loss of blood left him with less and less strength, and his vision was getting darker and darker.

Liu Yunzhi could no longer tell whether he was moving forward or whether he was still alive.

At this moment, he felt only resentment towards Sha Xiao and dissatisfaction with himself.

He resented Sha Xiao for not taking the risk to save him, and he was also resentful that he hadn't found more Buddhist treasures before.

Gradually, he stopped moving, lost his target, and the plaque of the Great Thunder Temple also fell silent.

Upon seeing this, the crocodiles swarmed forward and instantly turned his corpse into a sponge.

"Unfortunately, you were just one step away."

Sha Xiao stared expressionlessly at Liu Yunzhi, who lay fallen beneath the altar, and reached for the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The moment he reached out his hand, the crocodiles swarmed towards him like a swarm of bees.

"court death!"

Sha Xiao snorted coldly, and with a flick of his right hand, he grasped the Immortal Gu Blinding in his hand.

As soon as he activated his true essence, the edges of the Blinding Immortal Gu leaves lit up with tiny specks of emerald green light.

"The ultimate killing move of the mortal path—Mount Tai pressing down!"

An invisible ripple flashed through the air.

With a "thump".

In the blink of an eye, all the crocodiles within a 300-meter radius fell to the ground and were crushed into a pool of bloody mud by gravity.

Seeing the power of the killing move, Sha Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction.

As the saying goes, "A leaf before the eyes obscures Mount Tai."

If he removes the leaves and adds the Empty Gu and the Shapeshifting Gu, wouldn't he temporarily deceive heaven and earth and steal a trace of Mount Tai's power?

Do you even know what it means to be a master thief who is simple-minded?

Sha Xiao leisurely picked up the bronze plaque of the Great Thunder Temple and returned to the light shield.

Suddenly, a chilling roar came from the direction of the Great Thunder Temple.

It was as if an ancient, primordial beast had broken free from its seal and shattered the earth.

Its roar shook mountains and rivers, trembled the stars and moon, and sent a chill down one's spine.

Suddenly, everyone felt the earth shake violently.

Then, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from a kilometer away, reaching from the heavens to the underworld, shaking the entire world!

Even though a sandstorm blocked their view, everyone could still see the two blood moons appearing at the ruins of the Great Thunder Temple, peering through the darkness.

"Giggle giggle!!!"

Some people were gripping the Buddhist implements tightly in their hands, their teeth chattering.

"What is that? Is that the demon that Buddha suppressed?"

"My God, are those its eyes?"

"Its eyes are as big as the moon, can we really escape from it?"

They finally managed to escape to the Five-Colored Altar.

I thought that once I got here, I could simply ride the Nine Dragons Coffin and leave this awful place.

"Sha Xiao? When will it be fully charged?" Lin Jia couldn't help but ask loudly.

A rustling sound came from inside, even though it had just been cleared out.

In the blink of an eye, thousands more small crocodiles appeared outside the five-colored altar, struggling to burrow inside.

"alright!"

With one hand carrying the still unconscious Ye Fan and the Buddhist treasure that had lost most of its divine power, and the other waving the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple, Sha Xiao retreated back into the bronze coffin.

"boom!"

The five-colored altar shook, and ancient runes of five colors appeared in the sky.

Like stars shining, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram is about to emerge, a sign that the ancient path to the stars has been opened.

However, at the same time, a terrifying tremor came from the ruins of the Great Thunder Temple, which was more than a thousand meters away.

The lantern-like blood-red eyes rose several meters higher, clearly breaking free from the constraints of the underground palace and rushing out of the ground.

Sha Xiao put Ye Fan down, stood at the gap in the bronze coffin, looked into the blood-red eyes, and laughed happily.

He raised two middle fingers at the terrifying being: "One step behind means one step behind! You idiot, go eat dust!"

He had been preparing for this for years since he realized it was the world of Shrouding the Heavens. How could the story of Crocodile Ancestor blocking the coffin, as in the original work, still happen?

With a "whoosh," the Tai Chi symbol in the sky spun, and a gate to the starry sky opened wide.

"boom!"

The nine dragons took off steadily, and the gaps in the bronze coffin gradually closed.

Sha Xiao raised his right hand high and shouted happily, "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, Activate!"

With a loud clang, the bronze coffin lid closed, and nine enormous dragon corpses slowly lifted the bronze coffin into the air, rushing into the Star Gate.

"Roar!!! How dare you, mere ants, insult a saint! You deserve to die!"

Crocodile Ancestor roared, not hesitating to prolong the time it took to break all the seals, prioritizing the freeing of one hand, which reached out to grab the Nine Dragons Coffin, its shape obscuring the sky.

"Ahhh!" The group hugged each other and screamed in terror.

Even Zhou Yi, who had been very calm, couldn't help but turn pale.

"Hehe, he's famous now." Sha Xiao patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, laughing heartily.
