At the same time, Hongjun led the Ghost King and Yu Zaoyun through the corridor towards the ruins of the Ming Tang Main Hall.
Hongjun stopped and asked Yu Zaoyun, "Can you find Han Ba's whereabouts?"
Yu Zaoyun said, "Follow me!"
Yu Zaoyun led the way and left the corridor with Hongjun. They arrived in front of the ruins of the Ming Tang Main Hall. After going around the ruins, there was a huge square patio. In the depths of the patio, there was a tunnel that led underground. Hongjun remembered that Mo Rigen and Lu Xu had come here before Luoyang fell. There was an entrance to the Ming Tang Main Hall underground!
"It's around here." Yu Zaoyun sniffed and said, "There's a corpse aura."
"You can tell?" The Ghost King was very surprised.
"Your corpse aura is different from his." Yu Zaoyun looked around and said, "It's not here anymore. Could it be that he's carrying it with him?"
A loud sound came from afar. It was obvious that another building had been destroyed by Qing Xiong. The Ghost King said, "The battle was too intense. He must have been attracted away. How troublesome."
Hongjun said, "He wouldn't carry it with him. Let's go down and take a look."
Hongjun dragged the Thousand Possibilities Chain and staggered underground. Sure enough, the Ming Tang Main Hall used to counter An Lushan was still there. In the center of the Ming Tang Main Hall, there was a formation that looked like the one used to store the Acala Main Hall. In the center of the formation, there were four flying daggers, and in the center of the daggers was a Jade Peacock Plume!
"Found it!" Hongjun said.
Perhaps it was his intuition, but he was also very hazy and couldn't say for sure. He just tried, and it was actually here!
Hongjun wanted to go forward and take it, but the formation emitted a bright light and forced him away. The blue flames of the Ming Tang Main Hall suddenly burst forth. The Ghost King had sharp eyes and nimble hands, and held Hongjun back from behind!
"You'll be burned to death!" Yu Zaoyun said.
Hongjun recalled that every time they took the Acalanatha Dharma Artifact from the spell formation, the energy of the earth veins would form a powerful protective barrier. At that time, it was the Dharma Artifact that protected their bodies that saved their lives. Yu Prefecture was almost burned to death before the Acalanatha Dharma Artifact admitted that it was wrong to take it.
"We have to lure it away," Hongjun said.
"Don't move," the Ghost King replied. "Let me try."
Yu Zaoyun looked towards the exit, clearly still a little worried. He asked, "Ghost King, can you do it?"
The Ghost King did not answer but walked towards the Earth Vein Magic Circle. This magic circle was designed by Yuan Kun. When he said the words "suppress me" in the Pantheon of Demons, Hongjun knew that Yuan Kun had something to do with the Earth Vein Magic Circle. Although he did not know the details, since he had placed the Five-colored Divine Light and the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger here, he must have set up a comprehensive defense.
"Be careful," Hongjun said anxiously.
He lowered his head and looked at the Thousand Possibilities Chain at his feet. He felt incomparably irritated. He was trapped like this and could not do anything.
The moment the Ghost King walked into the spell formation, there was a loud bang. Blue flames suddenly spun and enveloped his entire body. Immediately after, the Ghost King let out an angry roar and emitted demonic energy to resist the energy of the earth veins.
Yu Zaoyun said, "Ghost King!"
Yu Zaoyun flew up and transformed into a human form in the air. He was still using Yang Yuhuan's appearance. Hongjun said, "You two be careful!" Hongjun could only watch from the side anxiously. He saw Yu Zaoyun fly into the spell formation. Nine tails appeared behind him and immediately drew away a large amount of the blue flames of the earth veins.
Ghost King said, "This is a trap!"
Hongjun said, "Don't take it! Let's go! "
The flames formed a storm and wreaked havoc in the underground space. However, the Ghost King and Yu Zaoyun could not escape from the spell formation. Hongjun wanted to rush forward but was blocked by the spell formation.
Yu Zaoyun said, "There's a chance!"
Ghost King said, "Do it! Take the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber! Forget about the Five-colored Divine Light! "
Yu Zaoyun was also struggling to hold on. For a moment, the earth veins spell formation was like a whirlpool. The two Demonic Kings could not get close to the eye of the formation, nor could they escape. Hongjun suddenly felt a dangerous aura and turned around.
Han Ba bowed and walked down from outside the tunnel. He muttered, "Why is there another one?"
He seemed to have realized that the Hongjun on the altar was fake. He was full of surprise as he looked at the scene happening in the underground space. Hongjun held his breath and felt a chill down his spine. The Ghost King and Yu Zaoyun were still trapped in the spell formation. The earth veins' flames covered the sky and covered the earth. Han Ba slowly walked towards him.
"Very good …" Han Ba muttered, "A bunch of traitors …"
Han Ba seemed to be a little absent-minded. At this moment, if Hongjun had feathers, all of his hair would be standing on end. He was extremely nervous as he stared at Han Ba. For a moment, the spell formation was silent. The blue earth veins' flames engulfed the Ghost King and Yu Zaoyun. Han Ba did not realize that there were still two Demonic Kings in the spell formation. Instead, he walked towards Hongjun.
Han Ba obviously did not understand how Hongjun escaped from the prison. His gaze moved from Hongjun's face to his shackles. Both of them understood. Hongjun retreated. With the earth veins' spell formation and flames behind him, there was no way for him to escape.
"You're a Demonic King," Hongjun said slowly, "and an old friend of the Ghost King. It's not too late to give up now."
Han Ba immediately let out a wild laugh. Hongjun looked at Han Ba calmly.
"What can you do?" Han Ba said coldly, "With your current state?"
Hongjun slowly gasped for breath. Han Ba said in a hoarse and gloomy voice, "If you humans did not betray me back then, how could I have become like this today?!"
When Hongjun heard the words "you humans", his heart could not help but beat violently.
"You were once a human too," Hongjun said with a trembling voice.
"Human's deceit and conflict are more direct and naked than the most vicious Tianma in this world!" Han Ba shouted crazily, "You should have died long ago! Coward, traitor! Bastard of the Demonic Clan! "
Hongjun could barely control his fear and trembling. He observed the situation around him, constantly on guard against Han Ba's sudden attack. At this moment, he had no external help or spells. He was definitely not a match for Han Ba. Han Ba was also very clear that with one move, he would be able to lock his throat and drag him to Qing Xiong.
Han Ba only regarded Hongjun as an ant at this moment. After roaring, he made a move as usual. He raised his left hand and grabbed at Hongjun with lightning speed!
In that split second, the corner of Hong Jun's mouth twitched slightly without batting an eyelid. When Hiderigami waved his arm, Hong Jun suddenly somersaulted backwards. Han Ba had already arrived in front of Hongjun like a shadow. That move was the third time Hongjun had faced this move. He was already prepared for the same move. He immediately used the momentum of his somersault to kick out the Thousand Utility Chain!
Han Ba never expected that Hongjun's previous fear and trembling was just a trick to make him underestimate his opponent. The moment the Thousand Utility Chain was thrown out, Han Ba instantly realized that Hongjun was not as harmless as he appeared on the surface! Just as he was about to pull back, it was already too late. He pounced on empty air. Hongjun used the momentum of the kick to swing the chain around his ankle and wrap it around Han Ba's tall body. Hongjun then turned around and rode on his back!
Han Ba let out a long hiss. Hongjun said in a low voice, "You didn't expect this, did you?" Immediately after, he swung the Thousand Utility Chain in his hand. The chain immediately wrapped around Han Ba's neck. Han Ba wanted to turn around and throw Hongjun off his back, but he was entangled by the Thousand Utility Chain. The chain immediately emitted a strong light and bound him!
Han Ba roared angrily, "You!"
Hongjun soared into the air. He was waiting for this moment. Immediately after, he kicked Han Ba's back. Han Ba revealed a ferocious and fearful expression as he crashed into the Earth Vein Spell Formation! Hongjun's ankle was still wrapped around the Thousand Utility Chain, while the other end was tied around Han Ba's neck. After he was firmly kicked into the Earth Vein Spell Formation, the Earth Vein Spell Formation exploded and burned Han Ba's entire body.
The third Great Demon crashed into the Earth Vein Spell Formation. The Earth Vein Spell Formation immediately launched a counterattack. Han Ba once again used his full strength, triggering a storm of blue flames. Han Ba immediately turned around and was about to leave the Earth Vein Spell Formation when a low voice came from behind him.
"I'm sorry, Senior." The Ghost King instantly appeared behind Han Ba. With a sweep of his arm, he grabbed Han Ba and threw him to the ground! With a loud bang, Hongjun was almost dragged into the Earth Vein Spell Formation by the chain. At the last moment, he managed to stabilize his body.
Han Ba let out a wild cry and roared, "You … it's you!"
The Ghost King held Han Ba tightly with one hand. Only then did Han Ba realize that he had underestimated his opponent and was about to lose his life! He immediately began to struggle even more fiercely. The Earth Vein Spell Formation's energy rushed towards Han Ba and poured into his body!
Seeing that the Earth Vein Spell Formation's pressure was gradually decreasing, Hongjun knelt down on one knee. He dragged the chain on his leg and shouted, "Fox King! Quick! "
All of the Earth Vein Spell Formation's energy rushed towards Han Ba. The Earth Vein Spell Formation's defensive power was completely wiped out. In the blink of an eye, Yu Zaoyun rushed towards the Earth Vein Spell Formation's core and snatched away the flying dagger and the Rainbow Divine Light!
Han Ba's howls of agony were getting weaker and weaker. Within the raging flames, his entire body emitted a blue light. His huge corpse body was like charcoal that was being burned and disintegrated rapidly. If it was a normal day, he wouldn't be afraid of the Battle Undead Ghost King. However, with the Thousand Utility Chain wrapped around his neck, he couldn't release his transcendence energy. The Earth Vein Spell Formation's flames were also wildly burning around his body, causing his demonic energy to continuously dissipate.
The Demon King of a generation was actually getting weaker and weaker within the Earth Vein Spell Formation. The Ghost King could only press down on Han Ba's chest, refusing to let him go no matter what. His clothes were gradually being destroyed, revealing his majestic body. His chest muscles, shoulders, and back began to gradually shatter. The right arm that was pressing down on Han Ba was in the most serious condition.
"Ghost King!" Yu Zaoyun shouted.
Hongjun fiercely pulled on the chains and shouted, "Ghost King! Hurry up and come out! "
No matter how Han Ba struggled, the Ghost King was like a mountain. Han Ba's howls of agony gradually turned into begging for mercy. He moaned, "Let … me … go …"
The Ghost King was still expressionless.
Yu Zaoyun took away the transcendent artifact. The Earth Vein Spell Formation's flames grew stronger and stronger. It was like a huge furnace, smelting the two Ancient Undead Kings.
Han Ba weakly said, "You actually want … to … kill … me … for a half-human half-demon … bastard …"
"Pledging your loyalty to him is your best choice." The Ghost King said in a low voice, "I gave you this chance."
Hongjun fiercely pulled on the Earth Vein Spell Formation from outside, shouting, "Ghost King! Let him go! I only want you to live —! "
The Ghost King didn't move at all. In the next moment, the Earth Vein Spell Formation's flames covered the sky and the earth, instantly engulfing the Ghost King and Han Ba. Hongjun let out a crazy shout. Just as he was about to rush in to save them, Yu Zaoyun suddenly transformed into a human and grabbed Hongjun from behind!
Immediately after, the Earth Vein Spell Formation suddenly erupted, sweeping out in all directions. Hongjun and Yu Zaoyun were knocked away together. The Chain of a Thousand Possibilities flew out, and the other end was no longer tied down.
The raging flames in the sky suddenly shrank toward the Earth Vein Spell Formation. The Ghost King, who was kneeling on one knee in front of Han Ba's chest, slowly stood up. He reached out his left hand and caught a flashing red inner core. He turned around and walked out of the Earth Vein Spell Formation.
Flames were running around his body. Hongjun leaned back, his eyes full of shock and tears. He saw that the lower half of the Ghost King's body was destroyed, and all the muscles on his body were burned black. His tall body leaned forward toward Hongjun, and he slowly knelt on one knee. He stretched out his left hand, and in his hand was Han Ba's flashing inner core.
On the other side, the front of Yanqing Palace had been destroyed. All the exorcists attacked together, but they couldn't do anything to the Golden-Winged Roc. In the fierce wind, the White Deer flew over. Yuan Kun took out a shuriken and shot it out. Yu Zaoyun shouted, "Lu Xu! Be careful! "
Yu Zaoyun flew over and bumped into the White Deer. Yuan Kun Shen once again transformed into thousands of shurikens, which disappeared into the hurricane. In an instant, the hurricane had turned into a huge killing array filled with blades. Yuan Kun shouted, "Kill them here!"
Li Jinglong shouted, "We can't save them! Retreat! "
Li Jinglong glanced at Hongjun from afar. In front of the altar, "Hongjun" was still kneeling, looking at Li Jinglong.
The shouts and the sound of the fierce wind gradually faded away. It was as if the world was quiet. Li Jinglong held the longbow in his hand, and he couldn't help but tremble as he looked at Hongjun. Suddenly, at that moment, he didn't know where he got the strength, but he burst out with an unusually strong will. He roared, "Hongjun!"
Immediately after, Li Jinglong faced the blades that were wreaking havoc in the sky and rushed straight towards the altar!
Yuan Kun was waiting for this moment. He immediately turned around and took off the blindfold. His black robe fluttered in the wind.
The injury in his left eye hadn't healed yet, and it was still bleeding. He said in a low voice, "Li Jinglong, you've lost."
In an instant, the entire altar surged with a powerful energy. The array on the ground flashed and gathered towards Yuan Kun's body! The energy gathered on Yuan Kun's body. His other eye burst out with a brilliant river of stars. Time froze in an instant!
Bricks and broken wood flew in the sky. The trees on the ground were tilted by the hurricane. The White Deer raised its head and turned around. Mo Rigen shot an arrow into the sky. Even the fine details of the Golden Roc flapping its wings could be seen.
Countless blades froze in place, then turned around and flew towards Li Jinglong!
Seeing that Li Jinglong's body was frozen, the thousands of blades were about to pierce his body. In the next moment, a chain flew from the side and wrapped around Li Jinglong's waist, dragging him out of the range of the blades. Li Jinglong only saw a blur in front of his eyes. His whole body flew backwards rapidly. Shurikens poured down like a torrential downpour. The ground was covered in flying ash, and the area around the altar was flooded.
"Go!" Mo Rigen shouted.
Mo Rigen shot a series of arrows into the sky, and the Golden-Winged Roc flew away. The hurricane stopped for a moment, and the exorcists rushed over to snatch Li Jinglong away. Everyone rushed out of the battle in a flash.
Yuan Kun staggered and gasped for breath. Black blood dripped from his eyes. Qing Xiong landed on the ground with an ashen face. He was extremely angry and slapped "Hongjun" to the side.
"Take him down and lock him up," Qing Xiong said in a low voice. "Where's Han Ba? Call Han Ba over! "
