Chapter 780: 780
While ruminating, Ye Qingyu did not slow down in the least bit .
This was an all-out desperate sprint .
Thirty minutes later .
"Eh? What's that? Are tombstones rising into the sky?" Carrying the [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], the fat man suddenly exclaimed involuntarily, "Look, tombstones are flying up high . . . into the heavens . "
Ye Qingyu was startled at once when he looked over .
Fifty to sixty kilometers in front of them, seven giant black tombstones of several kilometers in height had uprooted and, driven by an unknown power, were now suspending in an extremely strange fashion in the gloomy and cracked sky of the ancient fiendgod city . Arranged in weird positions, they emanated a deathly and evil aura which caused one to quiver, and were shrouded in pitch-black mist . They were even scarier than the murderous spirit!
"My gosh . . . how can it be like this . . . Brother, what should we do?" Sheng Yan had detected the peculiarity of the suspending tombstones which blocked the party's advance and occupied a vast space to form a frightening force field . As a result of the emanating aura, his face turned ghastly pale and its flab felt muddled .
A grim expression was also revealed by the eyes behind the Celestial Phoenix Maiden's mask .
Evidently, this situation had far surpassed her level of comprehension prior to entering the 18th district .
"The positions of these tombstones . . . seem to form a particular formation . . . their arrangement is very weird . " Although Ye Qingyu's expression was one of extreme vigilance, he then revealed a hint of doubt upon closer inspection of the seven black tombstones . They were arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper and appeared to be a formation which utilized the power of the murderous spirit . Moreover, the formation did not look very old and possessed the characteristics of a modern sect, and thus might have been set up only recently .
"There's someone inside . . . " The Celestial Phoenix Maiden's sight was fixed and her voice carried some caution .
Ye Qingyu was taken aback .
At this time, there are still others who haven't left the 18th district?!
He shot out two beams of purple lightning from his eyes and peered at the middle of the tombstones .
"It's her!" He was terribly surprised .
He recognized the identity of the person within the formation .
A young girl of twelve or thirteen years of age, dressed in a silver battle garment, was sealed among the tombstones in the Big Dipper formation .
It's the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race!
The female Heaven's prideling of the Black Demon Race was trapped stiff and her face revealed agony which suggested that she was laboriously operating qi to withstand something . Some sort of strange treasure was activated in her body, causing a near-Saint-level pressure to emit from within to form a huge black light shield that not only protected her but also had extra power to channel waves of Black Demon qi against the surroundings, in resistance against the asphyxiating power of the seven giant tombstones .
The surfaces of the seven suspended tombstones were each covered in a strange squarish formation that emitted a black halo and circulated an intense and piercing murderous spirit that resembled black flames . These murderous spirits cut through the Black Demon qi and spurted uniformly at the shield of the little princess . They brought to mind a scorching furnace that wanted to smelt the Little Princess together with the black shield .
The power of the Little Princess had clearly been exerted to its fullest .
However, the murderous spirit in the formations not only confined her securely but also absorbed the Black Demon qi at an insane rate and turned it into even more powerful black flames which was used to burn her body .
The situation was not good .
Even if this formation of seven giant tombstones could not harm her for quite some time, it nevertheless trapped her in place . Eventually, when the Doors of Life closed, all of the murderous spirit would erupt . By that time, even if she could get out of the formation, she could go nowhere but to death .
Ye Qingyu felt puzzled .
Among all those who entered the Doors of Life this time, the dignified Little Princess of the Black Demon Race should be the person who best understands the 18th district, for many of its secrets and methods would definitely have been made known to her by her race, since the district was built by the Black Demon Emperor after all . How did she fall into such a predicament given that she possessed such a natural and unique advantage?
He peered at the princess with a bit of caution and doubt .
The methods of the Four Stars holy girl already put him on guard against these female Heaven's pridelings, and he was thus worried that the scene in front of his eyes was planned by the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race - whose behavior on the Fierce Beast Peak of Taowu Mountain Range just three days ago already showed that she was not the trustable sort .
As Ye Qingyu fixed his sights on her, she also spotted the party .
He acutely noticed an indistinct gleam flash across her eyes at the very first moment she saw people appear .
Subsequently, however, her eyes sank as hesitation flashed across them . Instead of crying for help, she continued to operate her demonic power to withstand the shackles and burning black flames around her, without taking a further look at the party .
Ye Qingyu carefully sized her up, noticing that her ice-cold round face still had a little baby fat while her expression carried a hint of puerility mixed with some panic and impatience as she gritted her teeth hard . . . However, she more so possessed a deepness and majesty beyond her age, and an obstinate determination could be discerned in her eyes which were as bright as black jade beads .
Because she was exerting her power continuously, blood-red patterns swelled all over her body and took over the positions where her blood vessels were . It looked as though wild snakes had slithered across her arms and neck .
Black Demon qi of the utmost purity burst out of her body endlessly .
However, her facial expression gradually turned weak .
This doesn't look like a trap, no?
Is she really stuck in there?
Ye Qingyu's heart skipped a beat .
Save her?
