Chapter 453

Sun Wukong couldn't wait for Yang Jian to deduce the formation, so he swung his golden cudgel and smashed at the stone gate again. The golden cudgel drew a dazzling arc in the air and hit the stone gate heavily with the force of thunder.

The loud noise was deafening, but the stone gate did not move at all, instead it stirred up a burst of black air.

The black gas rolled like thick ink, and a ghost face vaguely appeared. The ghost face was hideous and terrifying, and it made a sharp and piercing whistling sound, as if it tried to break free from the black gas and pounce on Sun Wukong.

Yang Jian immediately opened his third eye, and two rays of light shot out of his eyes, piercing through the black air like sharp swords and striking the inside of the ghost face.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were focused, and his fingers lightly moved in the air, as if he was deducing some complex rune rules.

After a moment, he whispered:

"This ghost face is made up of countless tiny runes. The arrangement of the runes is extremely mysterious. We need to find the pattern in it to decipher it."

Seeing this, Nezha ignored his injuries and swung the broken spear. The tip of the spear burst into flames, and the flames danced in his hand, reflecting his pale but determined face.

He growled, leaped up suddenly, and the broken spear stabbed at the ghost face like a meteor.

The flames collided with the black air, making a sizzling sound. The ghost face twisted and deformed in pain, and it let out a shrill scream.

Cold sweat oozed from Nezha's forehead. It was obvious that this attack had consumed a lot of his strength, but he still gritted his teeth, holding the broken spear tightly, and refused to take a step back.

Seeing this, Yang Jian quickly swung his three-pointed, double-edged sword. The blade flashed with cold light and accurately hit several key runes on the stone gate.

The rune instantly shattered under the impact of the blade, making a dull sound, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.

Sun Wukong rushed into the stone gate first, his golden cudgel trembling slightly in his hand, the golden light at the tip of the cudgel shining like a torch in the darkness.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He quickly scanned the surroundings and saw Chen Tianjun sitting cross-legged in the depths of the cave, surrounded by black air, casting a spell.

He formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, his fingertips trembling slightly, and black energy moved around his body like a living thing, as if protecting him.

Yang Jian followed closely behind, the three-pointed, double-edged sword drooping slightly in his hand, the cold light on the blade flickering in the darkness.

His eyes were cold and solemn, and he was obviously extremely wary of Chen Tianjun's strange condition.

He whispered:

"Chen Tianjun is casting a spell. I'm afraid he has already noticed our arrival."

Nezha dragged his broken spear and followed at the end with a staggering step. The flame on the tip of the spear had become weak, but his eyes were still firm.

He gritted his teeth and whispered:"No matter what he is doing, we can't let him succeed!"

Sun Wukong clenched his golden cudgel, a sneer appeared on his lips, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes:"Chen Tianjun, your doomsday has come!"

After saying that, he stomped his feet violently, and his body turned into a golden light and rushed straight towards Chen Tianjun.

The golden cudgel, with tremendous force, smashed hard on Chen Tianjun's head.

Chen Tianjun suddenly opened his eyes, a black light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, muttering something.

A powerful black gas instantly gushed out from his body, forming a barrier that blocked Sun Wukong's golden cudgel.

"clang!"

With a loud bang, the golden hoop collided with the black gas barrier, causing a strong shock wave, and the gravel in the cave fell down.

Sun Wukong was knocked back several steps. After he steadied himself, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Chen Tianjun's black air barrier was so strong.

Seeing this, Yang Jian said in a deep voice:

"Great Sage, this black gas barrier is weird, don't touch it head-on!"

He swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword, the blade flashing with golden light, and with a flash of his body, he went behind Chen Tianjun and tried to attack his back.

Nezha also endured the pain and swung the broken spear. The flame on the tip of the spear ignited again and he attacked Chen Tianjun from the side.

Chen Tianjun sneered and kept changing seals with his hands. The black air barrier was like a living thing, changing with his movements and blocking all the attacks from Yang Jian and Nezha.

"Unbelievable!"

Chen Tianjun snorted coldly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he pushed his hands forward suddenly. The black gas barrier expanded instantly, covering Sun Wukong, Yang Jian and Nezha.

Inside the black air barrier, you can’t see your hand in front of you, and the cold atmosphere is everywhere, making people feel creepy.

Sun Wukong waved his golden cudgel, trying to break through the black gas barrier, but found that the power of the golden cudgel was constantly weakened by the black gas and could not shake the barrier at all.

Sparks flew on the stone walls of the cave due to the waving of the golden hoop, but it could not illuminate the thick darkness.

Yang Jian used his divine eyes to observe the black gas barrier and discovered that the arrangement of runes inside the barrier was extremely complex and unpredictable, and there was no way to find a way to break it.

His brows were furrowed, beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and the cold light of the three-pointed, double-edged sword was faintly visible in the darkness, but it seemed powerless.

The water droplets dripping from the top of the cave made a crisp sound in the darkness, adding a sense of oppression.

Nezha's flame flickered in the black air, as if it would go out at any time.

He clenched his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and swung the broken spear more violently, but still could not break through the blockade of the black air barrier.

His heavy breathing echoed in the black air, carrying a hint of unwillingness and anger.

A faint smell of blood came from his body, and the wound seemed to have opened again.

"Hahaha……"

Chen Tianjun's laughter echoed in the black air, seeming particularly eerie and terrifying.

"Just stay trapped and die in this black gas barrier!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the cave:"Chen Tianjun, stop being so arrogant!"

Along with the sound, a golden light shot into the cave, tearing a crack in the black gas barrier.

A heavenly soldier wearing golden armor and holding a long sword appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Li Tianwang!"

Yang Jian shouted in surprise.

The person who came was Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Li Jing looked at the scene in the cave with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice:"Erlang Shen, Nezha, are you okay?"

Yang Jian and Nezha quickly replied:"Thank you, Heavenly King, for saving us. We are safe."

Li Jing nodded, turned his gaze to Chen Tianjun, and said coldly:"Chen Tianjun, you have committed many evil deeds, and today I will bring you to justice!"

Chen Tianjun's face changed and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Li Jing to appear suddenly.

Li Jing swung his sword, and golden light shone brightly on the sword. A sharp sword energy went straight towards Chen Tianjun.

Chen Tianjun hurriedly mobilized the black energy to resist, but Li Jing's sword energy was unstoppable. It instantly defeated the black energy and went straight to Chen Tianjun's face.

Chen Tianjun widened his eyes in horror and quickly dodged.

Li Jing's sword energy brushed past Chen Tianjun's cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark on his face.

Chen Tianjun was shocked and angry, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He waved his hands suddenly, and the black air barrier solidified again, trapping Li Jing inside.

Li Jing frowned slightly, and swung the long sword in his hand suddenly. The sword light was like a meteor across the night sky, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, instantly tearing several cracks in the black air barrier.

However, the black gas seemed to have life and healed quickly. Although Li Jing's sword energy was sharp, it could not completely break the barrier.

"This black gas barrier is really weird!"

Li Jing snorted coldly, his eyes solemn.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong grinned, with a hint of excitement in his eyes:"I'm going to meet him, Old Sun!" Before he finished speaking, he swung the golden cudgel in his hand violently, and a golden light shone brightly, heading straight for Chen Tianjun's head.

Chen Tianjun's face changed, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. The black air barrier instantly shrank and blocked in front of him.

The golden hoop smashed hard on the black gas barrier, making a deafening roar, and the entire cave trembled.

However, although the black gas barrier shook slightly, it remained indestructible.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:"This guy's magic is quite sophisticated!"

Seeing this, Yang Jian swung his three-pointed, double-edged sword suddenly, the blade flashing coldly, and went straight to Chen Tianjun's flank.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and the blade cut through the air, bringing up a gust of fierce wind.

Chen Tianjun snorted coldly, and the black air barrier expanded again, blocking Yang Jian's attack.

Yang Jian's figure flashed and he quickly retreated, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes:"This black gas barrier is not only strong, but can also change as he wishes!"

Nezha was also holding on to his body at this time, waving the broken spear, the flame on the tip of the spear ignited again, and he attacked Chen Tianjun from the other side.

He growled, and thrust out the broken spear suddenly. The flame rushed straight towards the black gas barrier like a fire dragon.

However, the flame collided with the black gas and was instantly swallowed up, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating.

"Humph, a mere flame dares to think of breaking my barrier!"

Chen Tianjun sneered, his eyes full of mockery.

Nezha clenched his teeth, beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and the broken spear in his hand trembled slightly, obviously it had consumed a lot of energy.

There was a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but his body could no longer hold on.

The four of them joined forces and launched an attack like a tide, but they were still unable to completely break through the black air barrier.

Chen Tianjun stood in the center of the barrier, his hands constantly changing seals, and the black air barrier became stronger under his control.

Although his face was pale, there was a gleam of confidence in his eyes, as if everything was under control.

"You think you can defeat me by joining forces? That's wishful thinking!"

Chen Tianjun sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

When Sun Wukong heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He swung the golden cudgel in his hand again, and the golden light was like a rainbow, hitting the black air barrier directly.

Yang Jian and Nezha also attacked at the same time, blades and flames intertwined, the three forces gathered together and headed straight for the center of the barrier.

However, at this moment, a cold light flashed in Chen Tianjun's eyes, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The essence of blood turned into a blood rune and quickly merged into the black air barrier.

The barrier instantly became solid, with black gas rolling and blocking all the attacks from the four people.

"Not good! He used his blood essence to strengthen the barrier!"

Li Jing's face changed, and he swung the sword in his hand violently, with sword energy running wild, trying to stop Chen Tianjun's actions.

However, it was too late.

Chen Tianjun sneered and pushed his hands forward suddenly. The black gas barrier expanded instantly, trapping the four people tightly.

The black air in the barrier was like a living thing, constantly eroding the strength of the four people.

Sun Wukong waved his golden cudgel, and although the golden light was strong, it was constantly weakened by the black air.

Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword flashed with cold light, but it was unable to cut through the blockade of black air.

The flame from Nezha's broken spear was weak, as if it would go out at any time.

Li Jing's sword was full of energy, but it was still unable to break through the barrier.

"Hahahaha... you are still one step behind after all!"

Chen Tianjun stood outside the barrier, his laughter full of pride.

His figure was looming in the darkness, like a beast that had successfully hunted, staring coldly at its prey trapped in a cage.

Sun Wukong roared angrily, and slammed the golden cudgel in his hand against the barrier. The golden light was bright, but it still couldn't break the black air.

Yang Jian frowned, and his third eye suddenly opened, trying to find a flaw in the barrier.

Nezha gritted his teeth, the flame from the broken spear in his hand was weak, but he still refused to give up.

Li Jing closed his eyes slightly, shook the long sword in his hand lightly, and the runes on the sword flashed a faint light.

He shouted in a low voice:"Chen Tianjun, do you think you can trap us with just this barrier? You are too confident!"

Chen Tianjun sneered, his eyes full of mockery:

"It's enough to trap you. I'll come and deal with you when I recover!"

After saying that, he moved and turned into a wisp of black smoke, quickly escaping into the depths of the cave.

When Sun Wukong saw this, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he smashed the golden cudgel in his hand against the stone wall, trying to catch up.

However, the stone wall was extremely hard, and when the golden hoop hit it, only a big hole was left, and Chen Tianjun's figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Sun Wukong roared, his eyes full of anger.

He gripped the golden cudgel tightly, and the golden light at the tip of the cudgel trembled slightly, as if he was also angry for not being able to catch up with Chen Tianjun.

Yang Jian stood aside, his three-pointed double-edged sword drooping slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:"His escape skills are indeed amazing. We need to find him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Nezha gritted his teeth, the broken spear in his hand trembled slightly, his eyes full of unwillingness:

"We must not let him escape!"

Li Jing put away his sword, his eyes deep, and said slowly:

"Break through this black gas barrier first, then make plans."

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed again, the runes on the sword body shone brightly, and a sharp sword energy slashed straight into the black air barrier.

The sword energy collided with the black energy, making a harsh friction sound. The black energy barrier shook violently, but still did not break.

Li Jing frowned, turned his wrist, and the long sword turned into a series of afterimages, slashing at the barrier one after another.

Seeing this, Nezha also pulled himself together. The broken gun in his hand flashed red and the flames burned again.

He roared and swung the broken spear. Dragons of fire roared out and hit the black gas barrier, making bursts of explosions.

Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye was still open, carefully observing the changes in the barrier.

He swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, and a flash of silver light appeared, hitting the weak point of the barrier directly.

Sun Wukong was even more anxious. He swung his golden cudgel and smashed it at the barrier like a storm. Golden light splashed everywhere and a deafening roar echoed in the cave.

New cracks continued to appear on the stone wall, and broken stones fell down. The cave seemed unable to withstand such a powerful force and began to tremble slightly.

At the top of the cave, a few bats were startled by the vibration and flapped their wings to fly deeper.

Li Jing suddenly swung the long sword in his hand, the sword body flashed with golden light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the top of the cave.

He closed his eyes slightly, chanted a spell silently, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden sword energy.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, instantly breaking through the top of the cave, and the tremendous force split the hard rock into a crack.

Fresh air rushed into the cave, and the originally turbid black air barrier twisted and swayed under the impact of the air, revealing tiny flaws.
