Chapter 454
Under the joint attack of the four people, tiny cracks finally appeared in the black gas barrier.
The crack spread rapidly like a spider web, emitting a disgusting stench.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jian immediately swung his three-pointed, double-edged sword. A sharp blade light slashed into the barrier along the crack. The blade flashed with cold light, carrying a force as powerful as thunder.
Wherever the knife light passed, the black air made a sharp hissing sound like torn cloth.
The flaw was instantly enlarged, and a ray of light appeared in the crack.
Sun Wukong was quick-eyed and quick-handed. His golden cudgel turned into a ray of golden light, which cut through the darkness like a meteor and went straight into the crack.
The golden light at the tip of the rod collided with the black air, making a "sizzling" sound, as if a red-hot iron block fell into the water.
The golden light spread rapidly in the black air, and the black air barrier began to tremble violently, making a "cracking" sound and shattering.
"break!"
Sun Wukong shouted loudly, and the golden cudgel shook violently. The golden light suddenly surged, and the black gas barrier shattered completely like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.
Nezha and Li Jing also took the opportunity to break through the barrier, and the four of them reunited.
Li Jing looked around with his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to see through every corner of the cave.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The cave was empty; Chen Tianjun's figure had long disappeared, leaving only a dead silence and residual black air floating in the air.
"Chen Tianjun has already escaped."
Li Jing said in a deep voice, the long sword in his hand drooping slightly, with a trace of black air still remaining on the tip of the sword.
He raised his hand and ordered:"The Heavenly Soldiers block the cave exit to prevent Chen Tianjun from escaping again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavenly soldiers behind him immediately took action. Silver armor flashed and spears were like a forest. They quickly dispersed to various parts of the cave and surrounded the exit.
Sun Wukong clenched his golden cudgel, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His eyes looked into the darkness deep in the cave, as if they could penetrate layers of obstacles and reach the enemy's heart.
"Chen Tianjun, you can't run away!"
Sun Wukong roared, and his body moved suddenly, like a flash of lightning, chasing in the direction Chen Tianjun fled.
His robes rustled in the wind and his golden hair gleamed in the darkness.
Seeing this, Yang Jian frowned slightly and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Chen Tianjun is an excellent escape artist, and if we pursue him rashly, there might be an ambush.
He took a step and his figure was as fast as the wind, following closely behind Sun Wukong. The three-pointed, double-edged sword trembled slightly in his hand, and the cold light on the blade was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
"Great Sage, be careful, there is a trap!"
Yang Jian warned in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.
Deep in the cave, it was dark as ink, with only a few faint rays of light shining through the cracks in the stone wall, illuminating the rugged ground.
The air was filled with a damp and musty smell, and there was a faint smell of blood.
"Brother Yang, don't worry. No matter how powerful Chen Tianjun is, he can't escape the sharp eyes of Old Sun!"
Sun Wukong smiled without turning his head, and suddenly turned the golden cudgel in his hand. The golden light flashed, illuminating the road ahead.
At the same time, Nezha and Li Jing stayed in the cave and commanded the heavenly soldiers to search.
The light in the cave was dim. The heavenly soldiers held spears in their hands, and their silver armor gleamed coldly in the dim light.
"Search carefully and don't miss any corner!"
Li Jing gave the order in a deep voice, his eyes swept around, his fingers gently stroking the hilt of the sword, as if he was thinking about something.
Nezha stood aside, the broken spear in his hand trembling slightly, the flame on the tip of the spear had gone out, but his eyes were still firm.
He gritted his teeth and whispered:"That fellow Chen Tianjun escaped so quickly!"
Li Jing glanced at him with a hint of approval in his eyes, and said in a steady voice:
"Don't worry. As long as he is still in this cave, he will not be able to escape from our grasp."
At this moment, a celestial soldier came quickly, holding a piece of rag stained with black air in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Li Jing:
"General, I found this."
Li Jing took the rag, rubbed it gently with his fingers, and frowned slightly.
The aura remaining on the rag was exactly the power fluctuation of Chen Tianjun.
His eyes became solemn, and he whispered to himself:"Chen Tianjun really stayed here."
Nezha came over and stared at the rag, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes:"The black energy on this rag seems a little unusual."
Li Jing nodded, the rag in his hand trembled slightly, and black air flowed through his fingertips, as if carrying some strange power.
He looked up into the depths of the cave, his eyes deep:
"Chen Tianjun's magic power seems to have increased. It seems that he has made other arrangements in this cave."
Nezha clenched the broken spear, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:"No matter what, we can't let him go!"
Li Jing took a deep breath and said in a low and powerful voice:"Keep searching and make sure to find his trace!"
The heavenly soldiers moved at the command. Their footsteps echoed in the cave, and their silver armor and spears flashed a cold light in the dim light.
Deep in the cave, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had already chased for a long way.
The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and the stone walls were covered with moss. Water droplets slowly dripped down the stone walls, making a "tick-tick" sound.
"Hey, there seems to be some movement ahead!"
Sun Wukong suddenly stopped, his ears moved slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
He gripped the golden cudgel tightly and stared straight ahead.
Yang Jian also stopped, his three-pointed, double-edged sword drooped slightly, and the cold light on the blade flickered in the darkness.
His Heavenly Eye quietly opened, and he scanned the surroundings, whispering:
"Be careful, Chen Tianjun may be nearby."
Sun Wukong grinned, with a hint of excitement in his eyes:"That's great. It saves me from having to look for him everywhere!"
Before he finished speaking, a deep laugh suddenly came from the front, with a hint of sarcasm in the laugh:
"Hahahaha...Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, you guys really are haunting us!"
"Chen Tianjun!"
Sun Wukong's eyes turned cold, and he swung his golden cudgel violently. A golden light shone brightly, heading straight for the direction where the sound came from.
Yang Jian also reacted quickly, and swung out with his three-pointed, double-edged sword. The blade flashed with a cold light and hit the target in the darkness directly.
However, Chen Tianjun's figure flashed by like a ghost and disappeared into the darkness in an instant, leaving only a cold laugh echoing in the cave.
"hateful!"
Sun Wukong roared angrily and slammed his golden cudgel heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Yang Jian frowned, the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand trembled slightly, and he whispered:
"His escape skills are indeed amazing. We need to proceed with caution."
The air in the cave seemed to be frozen, leaving only the sound of water dripping onto the ground, which seemed particularly harsh.
Sun Wukong held the golden hoop tightly, his eyes like torches, scanning the darkness around him. His ears trembled slightly, catching any abnormal fluctuations in the air.
"Chen Tianjun, you are hiding in the dark and pretending to be a ghost, what kind of ability is that!"
Sun Wukong sneered, and his voice echoed in the cave, sounding particularly loud.
Yang Jian stood beside him, his three-pointed, double-edged sword drooping slightly, the cold light on the blade flickering in the darkness.
His third eye quietly opened, his gaze was as fast as lightning, scanning every corner around him, trying to find any trace of Chen Tianjun.
"Great Sage, be careful of fraud."
Yang Jian reminded in a low voice, frowning slightly.
"Chen Tianjun is full of tricks, we must not act rashly."
Sun Wukong grinned, with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes:"I, Old Sun, have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Why would I be afraid of a mere Chen Tianjun?"
At this moment, a low incantation suddenly came from the depths of the cave. The voice was as erratic as a ghost, carrying a chilling aura.
Then, the ground shook slightly, as if something was waking up.
"not good!"
Yang Jian's face changed, and he suddenly raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, with the blade pointing straight forward.
"Chen Tianjun is casting a spell!"
Sun Wukong also noticed something unusual, and he spun the golden cudgel in his hand suddenly. A bright golden light shone, illuminating the road ahead.
I saw the rocks on the ground slowly begin to crack, black gas poured out from the cracks, and gradually condensed into dark shadows.
Those shadows were like ghosts, floating around and making low roars, as if they were waiting for orders.
"What the hell are these!"
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Chen Tianjun, are these the only evil ways you know?"
A trace of solemnity flashed across Yang Jian's eyes, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand trembled slightly. He whispered:
"These shadows seem to be vengeful spirits. Chen Tianjun uses Yin Qi to drive them to attack us. We must be careful in dealing with them."
Before he finished his words, those dark shadows suddenly pounced on them at an extremely fast speed, like black lightning, heading straight for the two of them.
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and swung his golden cudgel violently. A golden light flashed like a rainbow, bringing up a gust of wind and hitting the black shadows directly.
The golden light collided with the black shadow, making a sharp hissing sound, and the black shadow quickly dissipated under the golden light.
Yang Jian was not willing to be outdone. He swung out his three-pointed, double-edged sword suddenly. The blade flashed with cold light and brought with it a fierce gust of wind, killing the black shadows that were rushing towards him one by one.
"These vengeful spirits are really difficult to deal with!"
Sun Wukong whispered as he waved his golden cudgel.
"Chen Tianjun is so sinister!"
Yang Jian nodded, a calm expression on his face:"Although there are many evil spirits, their attacks are not fatal. We just need to be careful and we can defeat them one by one."
The two men moved as swiftly as lightning. The golden hoop stick and the three-pointed double-edged sword drew golden and cold light in the darkness, repelling all the black shadows that kept pouring in.
Deep in the cave, Chen Tianjun stood on a huge rock with his hands clasped in front of his chest. Black energy swirled around him, moving around like a living thing.
A sneer appeared on his lips, and he murmured in a low voice:
"Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, do you think you can break my evil spirit formation like this? You are too naive!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly pushed his hands forward, the black gas expanded instantly, and more black shadows emerged from the ground, rushing towards the two of them like a tide.
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong frowned slightly, and suddenly turned the golden cudgel in his hand. A golden light shone brightly, bringing up a gust of wind and hitting the black shadows directly.
However, the number of black shadows was too great. Although the golden light could repel some of them, more black shadows still continued to pour in.
Yang Jian's expression also became solemn. The three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the cold light on the blade flickered in the darkness.
He whispered:"Great Sage, this is not a solution. We must find Chen Tianjun's location, otherwise he will kill us here!"
Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes:"That's right, Chen Tianjun is hiding in the back, we have to find a way to force him to show up!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the depths of the cave as fast as the wind.
The golden cudgel was swung violently in his hand, and golden light flashed like a rainbow, bringing up a gust of wind and heading straight for the black shadow in front.
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 third eye was already open, and his gaze was as fast as lightning, scanning every corner around him, trying to find any trace of Chen Tianjun.
Deep in the cave, Chen Tianjun stood on a huge rock, black air swirling around him, and his hands kept changing seals.
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:"Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, do you think you can find me like this? That's ridiculous!"
At this moment, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel suddenly smashed into the boulder, and a golden light became bright, bringing up a gust of wind, which went straight to Chen Tianjun's face.
Chen Tianjun snorted coldly and waved his hands suddenly. The black gas barrier condensed instantly, blocking the attack of the 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.
Seeing this, Yang Jian suddenly swung out with his three-pointed, double-edged sword, the blade flashing coldly, and went straight to Chen Tianjun's flank.
Chen Tianjun reacted extremely quickly, and the black gas barrier expanded again, blocking Yang Jian's attack.
Sun Wukong steadied his body, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he swung the golden cudgel in his hand violently, and a golden light like a rainbow rushed straight to Chen Tianjun's head.
Chen Tianjun's expression became solemn, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. A black gas barrier condensed in front of him, blocking Sun Wukong's attack.
"You think you can defeat me by joining forces? That's wishful thinking!"
Chen Tianjun sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
A hint of coldness flashed across Yang Jian's eyes, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand trembled slightly. He whispered:
"Great Sage, this guy's magic power is indeed not weak, we have to find a way to break his defense!"
Sun Wukong grinned, with a fierce look in his eyes:"A mere black gas barrier can't stop me, Old Sun!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and swung the golden cudgel in his hand violently. A golden light shone brightly, carrying a force as powerful as thunder, and it struck the black gas barrier directly.
At this moment, a low incantation suddenly came from the depths of the cave. The voice was as erratic as a ghost, carrying a chilling aura.
Yang Jian's expression changed, the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand drooped slightly, and he whispered:
"Not good, Chen Tianjun is going to cast a more powerful spell!"
Sun Wukong swung his stick, and the golden cudgel, carrying a tremendous force, smashed hard into Chen Tianjun's black air barrier.
However, the black gas barrier was as strong as a solid wall of steel. The collision of the golden hoop with the barrier caused a violent gust of air, which caused gravel to fall from the walls of the cave.
Sun Wukong's palm felt slightly numb, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took a half step back to steady his body.
His eyes were fixed on the black barrier, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:"Hey, you're quite good at it!"
Seeing this, Yang Jian's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly stabbed out with his three-pointed, double-edged sword, with the blade accurately aiming at the weak point of the black air barrier.
The moment the blade came into contact with the black air, a harsh friction sound was heard and the barrier trembled slightly, but it still could not be broken.
Yang Jian frowned slightly, changed his steps quickly, turned his wrist, and swept the blade out again, trying to find a flaw.
