The Legend of the Netherworld

Chapter 180 Amethyst Jade

The two gray-haired Taoist priests did not wait any longer. They exchanged glances and then jumped into the bottom of the rift valley.

"This time, we will never let it escape again." An old Taoist gritted his teeth, raised his hand and swung a powerful earth escape technique. A huge earth wall rose from the ground, instantly trapping the Lost Cat Demon Phoenix inside.

Then everyone jumped down.

Seeing this, the monster roared angrily and shot out a hot laser from its beak again, trying to destroy these obstacles.

However, the people who jumped into the rift had already shown a strange tacit understanding. They released various protective shields and blocked the impact of the laser.

At the same time, various formations and secret techniques were quickly set up in the rift, trapping the monsters in a range.

As Tang Cheng launched a powerful "Thunder Kick", his hands struck the fragile beak of the Lost Cat Demon Phoenix like lightning.

Thunderous energy surged in the air, as if it was going to defeat the monster.

However, the cat demon phoenix reacted extremely quickly. Seeing Tang Cheng's attack coming at it, it turned sideways and cleverly avoided the fatal blow.

Then, it kicked its hind legs, and its body was as light as a meteor, kicking Tang Cheng hard.

Before Tang Cheng could react, he was kicked hard and flew away, hitting the crack wall with a dull crash. He fell heavily into the depths of the rift valley, and suddenly felt dizzy and his vision was blurred.

Although Tang Cheng was shot down, the other contestants did not stop, they still focused their energy on launching a fierce attack on the cat demon phoenix's beak. As the command was issued, various deadly skills emerged one after another:

"One finger at a time!"

"Heavenly Sword!"

The attacks came like a tide, almost drowning the monster.

Although the Lost Cat Demon Phoenix is ​​huge in size, it is extremely fast. It constantly uses its agile body to avoid attacks, and whenever an attack approaches, it can always dodge it easily.

At the same time, lasers continuously shot out from its beak, fighting back fiercely.

However, these attacks were obviously far from enough for the Cat Demon Phoenix.

Under its laser and "sound roar" attacks, a few monks fell, especially those contestants with lower cultivation levels, and many of them died on the spot.

Although those slightly stronger monks managed to withstand the laser, they still faced a huge threat.

The battle became more brutal, and the smell of blood filled the surroundings of the rift valley.

The injured continued to take pills on their own, and after quickly recovering their strength, they returned to the battle.

For them, this was a battle of strength and life and death. Even if they were seriously injured, they still dared not stop, because the spiritual object was right in front of them, and no one wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, despite this, the Cat Demon Phoenix still showed great endurance and amazing physical strength, showing no signs of fatigue at all, as if its strength would never be exhausted.

The monks were secretly anxious in their hearts. The original plan of fighting in rotation did not seem to be working.

At this time, Murong Rui finally couldn't hold it back anymore, the spiritual energy in his body burst out like a surging river, and his whole aura suddenly increased.

He no longer held back any strength, tightly grasped the seal in his hand, and silently recited the incantation. Suddenly, the air in the entire rift valley solidified instantly.

"Tian Gang Soul Locking Tower!"

As he finished casting the spell, four huge chains broke out from the ground. The black chains flashed with a dark light, as if they could devour everything.

The chains tightly bound the cat demon phoenix's limbs, trapping it in place.

Immediately, the seven-story Tiangang Tower fell from the sky, and the huge tower body covered the body of the monster, completely trapping it.

The cat demon phoenix struggled violently, and there was a continuous "cracking" sound coming from under its feet. It raised its feet hard, as if trying to break free from the chains, but no matter how hard it tried, the chains still tightly bound its body.

"Damn it!" It let out an angry roar, its beak flashing with light, and it shot out powerful lasers again, trying to break the restraints.

But Murong Rui's control had reached its limit. Sweat kept dripping down his forehead like a spring. His face was pale. He had exhausted all his strength and his lips were trembling slightly.

At this moment, the besieging monks finally saw an opportunity, and they stepped up their offensive, gathering all their strength and launching another fierce attack on the Cat Demon Phoenix.

However, just when they were about to succeed, the Cat Demon Phoenix used all its strength to let out a deafening "roar", and a wave of terrifying sound waves swept in all directions like thunder.

"boom!"

The entire rift valley shook instantly, and the monks were knocked back by the sound waves and fell to the ground.

Everyone felt a constant tinnitus in their ears, and their bodies seemed to be pressed down heavily, unable to move.

The cat demon phoenix took the opportunity to break free from the restraints again, shaking its head, trying to get out of the predicament.

At this time, Tang Cheng, who had fallen to the ground, finally found an opportunity.

He endured the pain and quietly went around to the side of the Cat Demon Phoenix. When it was caught off guard, he suddenly rushed out with a "Thunder Kick Fighter" move, and used his hands with the power of thunder to bombard the Cat Demon Phoenix's beak from bottom to top.

"Kacha!"

A crisp cracking sound resounded throughout the rift valley, and the cat demon phoenix's beak finally broke at this moment, and blood splattered everywhere.

The huge body of the Lost Cat Demon Phoenix fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust and filling the air with a fishy smell.

In the center of the dust, a purple light suddenly flashed, so bright and dazzling that it attracted the attention of all the monks.

"That's amethyst jade!" A cultivator shouted excitedly with a light flashing in his eyes.

"Go!" The other cultivators could no longer hold back and rushed towards the center of the dust where the amethyst jade was, scrambling to get ahead like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"This is mine, who dares to snatch it!" Tang Cheng hugged the purple crystal jade with both hands, and the aura around him burst out. The energy of the third realm of Jiachen swept in all directions like a vast ocean.

He looked coldly at the monks rushing towards him, trying to suppress their courage with his aura, and threatened: "Who dares to touch me!"

However, this momentum did not scare away the other monks, but instead made them even more angry and excited.

Then, various spells and attacks came one after another, madly bombarding Tang Cheng. Obviously, they were desperate to take away the amethyst jade.

Above the rift, there are only a few monks left.

Most people had already jumped into the rift, vying for the ownership of the amethyst jade.

Only those who were weaker and knew that if they went down they would never come back, still stopped at the rift, anxiously watching the situation below.

At this moment, the balance of the amethyst jade had been broken, and everyone's eyes were focused on the treasure that was shining with purple light.

Lin Xiao still did not jump into the rift. His eyes were fixed on the amethyst jade at the bottom of the valley. A subtle feeling flashed through his mind. At the same time, he was observing Murong Rui on the other side of the rift.

He had a premonition that Murong Rui would definitely take action at the critical moment.

Murong Rui seemed very calm at this time.

Faced with the fierce competition in front of him, he was not in a hurry to take action, but instead cast his gaze at Xiang Shouyi on the distant rift valley. The two people's eyes met, and a tacit understanding was passed between them.

Murong Rui took out a pill from his sleeve and gently swallowed it. The pill immediately transformed into a stream of warm air that quickly flowed into his body, rapidly restoring the energy he had just consumed when he used the "Tian Gang Soul Locking Tower".

As the effect of the elixir became apparent, Murong Rui's breath gradually recovered, his complexion also improved significantly, and strength seemed to surge out from his dantian, quickly filling his whole body.

At this time, the battle under the rift was still fierce, and Tang Cheng was having a hard time moving forward.

Initially, Tang Cheng was able to withstand the attacks of several enemies with his great strength and extraordinary martial arts, but as more and more cultivators joined in, the density and strength of the attacks became more intense, and he could no longer hold on to the amethyst jade.

What frightened him even more was that he realized that these people not only hid their strength, but also became extremely ruthless and showed almost no mercy when fighting for the amethyst jade.

Faced with such a situation, Tang Cheng decided to give up temporarily. He finally chose to save his life and tried to avoid too much entanglement with other cultivators.

The amethyst jade had changed hands several times among many cultivators at this time. Finally, the two white-haired old Taoists who jumped into the rift first finally grasped the amethyst jade firmly.

One of the two old Taoists stood in front, blocking the attacks of other monks, while the other held the amethyst jade tightly, preparing to leave the rift with the treasure.

However, seeing the purple crystal jade in their hands, the two old Taoists did not feel proud for too long.

The two old Taoists released powerful earth-based magic, performing the "Rock Shield Breaking the Sky" and "Earthwalker Alliance" combination skills.

I saw solid earth shields rising from the ground, blocking the attacks of everyone. At the same time, three earthwalker warriors appeared, waving earth knives to block all enemies.

Seeing that the time had come, the two old Taoists quickly jumped up, preparing to leave the battle area with the amethyst jade.

However, Murong Rui was watching all this calmly from a distance. Seeing this scene, he approached the two old Taoists without any hesitation.

He took back the "White Tiger Pearl" in his body, and in a flash, he quickly rushed behind one of the old Taoists and kicked him hard.

"boom!"

A roar resounded throughout the rift valley, as if the earth was shaking.

Murong Rui's kick mercilessly kicked the old Taoist holding the purple crystal jade away. The purple crystal jade then slipped out of his hand, drew a purple arc, and fell straight into Murong Rui's hand.

At the same time, Murong Rui did not stop his actions. He immediately took out the black bag he had prepared long ago, put the amethyst jade in it, and hid it completely.

Without the "Pearl" and the Amethyst Jade, the light source disappeared instantly, and the entire rift valley fell into darkness.

The monks who lost their light source suddenly fell into confusion, and the fighting around them temporarily stopped.

A moment later, the few monks who had spare torches took out theirs, and the flames began to flicker again in the chasm.

However, when the torch light shone on the ground, almost everyone found that the amethyst jade had disappeared.

"It was that kid from the Murong family who stole the purple crystal jade!" The two old Taoists fell to the ground in a mess, their faces pale, their eyes full of anger and unwillingness. They had tried their best to seize the treasure, but it eventually fell into Murong Rui's hands.

At this time, all eyes were cast towards the top of the rift, where Murong Rui was seen holding a black bag and climbing up the wall of the rift quickly, apparently intending to leave the battle and reunite with his three guards.

"Chase him!" a cultivator shouted immediately, and the remaining cultivators began to climb along the wall of the rift and chase in the direction of Murong Rui.

At this moment, Lin Xiao, who was above the rift valley, fixed his gaze on Murong Rui's actions. He spoke decisively, "The purple crystal jade is on that young man. Charge!"

The cultivators who originally had no intention of competing for the purple crystal jade changed their minds under Lin Xiao's instigation, and followed his words and rushed towards Murong Rui excitedly.

Amethyst jade is so precious. Seeing Murong Rui running away with it, how can we let him get away with it?

Seeing this, Xiang Shouyi and the other two guards immediately stood in front of Murong Rui and shouted in unison: "Let him go first!"

They tried to buy time for Murong Rui by blocking other monks.

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to create chaos, quietly passed the three guards, and launched a "Shadow Spirit Sword Stab". The tip of the sword cut through the air and pointed directly at Murong Rui's vitals.

However, Murong Rui was well prepared. He calmly used the "Wild Sky Seal" to block.

A powerful airflow surged out, blocking Lin Xiao's attack.

With a loud roar, Lin Xiao was blown away dozens of meters until he hit a big tree and was able to stop.

Blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, he was panting, but there was a sly smile in his eyes.

Lin Xiao's heart moved, and he smiled slightly and said, "Murong Rui, the game has just begun."

At the same time, he looked down and saw that a small transparent button had been quietly attached to the back of Murong Rui's hair. This was the button tracking technique that Lin Xiao had just obtained.

Murong Rui fled the rift valley quickly with the purple crystal jade, like a meteor streaking across the sky.

The wind whistled past, and the ground beneath his feet gradually faded away. The vibrations of the rift valley seemed to have subsided with his departure.

However, the pursuers behind him did not slow down at all, and continued to pursue him, vowing to take back the treasure of Amethyst Jade from him.

Murong Rui looked back, a cold glint in his eyes as he sneered. "What does it matter how hard these people chase him?" he thought. "He was once the young master of the Murong family. How could he be easily caught up?" However, he knew the value of this amethyst jade and could not afford to lose it. If he wanted to escape, he had to be careful.

At this time, two of the three guards who stayed behind to protect him had been beaten to the ground, and their lives were in danger.

A trace of guilt surged in Murong Rui's heart, but he had no time to stop.

He glanced at Xiang Shouyi, who was struggling to break free from the enemy's siege. Although seriously injured, he found a gap to escape with his extraordinary agility and fled in the opposite direction in a panic.

Seeing this, Murong Rui's heart moved, and he turned around and continued to flee.

Lin Xiao was not in a hurry to catch up. He stared at Murong Rui's back with a slight smile on his face.

Now that the transparent button has been buried in Murong Rui's hair, he can use it to grasp his movements.

Lin Xiao knew that although Murong Rui had the strength of Ding Si III, his strength was not unlimited. If he could let others consume more of his energy, then he could make plans. It would be the best time.

He then followed the direction Murong Rui fled.
