Zhang Yuanqing shouted inwardly, "Xiahou Aotian, be careful of what's above you!"
Xiahou Aotian received a warning from the ring's Grandpa, "There's something wrong with the statue!!"
As the two voices rang in his mind and ears, Xiahou Aotian had already instinctively raised his head and saw that the two eyeballs on the statue's dull, rigid face were staring down at him!
A stiff, inanimate object was actually looking at him!
Even someone as knowledgeable as him couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. As their eyes met, the female statue struck out with her rusty iron sword with lightning speed!
A flash of sword light filled the hall!
Unable to dodge, Xiahou Aotian crossed his arms in front of him, and two scarlet gloves ignited with flames. The flames formed a vortex one meter in diameter, like a rotating flame shield!
At the same time, the mud boots he wore surged with mud, flowing upwards and enveloping him in terracotta armor!
Finally, the vine armor on Xiahou Aotian automatically sprang up a deep green shield of light. The flame vortex failed to shatter the sword light and collapsed first, followed by the shattering of the deep green shield of light into glass-like shards. Then, there was a muffled "bang."
A deep crack was cut into the mud shell on Xiahou Aotian's body!
The next second, Xiahou Aotian appeared at the entrance of the hall, teleported there by the ring. "Three magic items couldn't defend against it, be careful!"
He roared!
A faint, bone-deep wound was visible on Xiahou Aotian's chest, but at least the bleeding had stopped and was slowly healing.
Upon reaching the Ruler stage, regardless of the profession, vitality was greatly enhanced, reaching superhuman levels!
The female statue with a rigid face twisted her neck with a "crack" like a puppet, turning her head to look at the crowd, and swept the rusty iron sword across!
Fu Qingyang was greatly alarmed: "Duck!"
The four people and one corpse ducked down to avoid it. A huge rumble came from their ears as the sword light cut through pillars, walls, and the hall door, rushing out of the hall and continuing to surge until it disappeared into the sky.
Such terrifying sword energy with a casual wave. Zhang Yuanqing snapped his fingers and teleported out of the hall using Star Escape!
Yinyao Junzhu, Fu Qingyang, Demon Eye Heavenly King, and Xiahou Aotian all fled outside!
"Boom!"
The Yao Guang Hall collapsed, tiles splattering, broken wood flying, and raising a hazy mist of ash.
"Boom!"
A tall figure rushed out of the collapsed ruins. She was more than two meters tall, and although carved from stone, her heavy body was as light as a kite. She instantly lunged in front of Zhang Yuanqing and slashed down with her sword!
In a hurry, Zhang Yuanqing raised his short blade and held it horizontally above his head!
The sword energy scattered from the collision of the rusty iron sword and the short blade, and was blocked by the Purple-Gold Armor with a "clang" sound.
Zhang Yuanqing's tiger's mouth cracked, and the short blade was pressed against his shoulder. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground!
The golden dragon phantom wrapped around him also collapsed into golden light flakes under the sword!
The female statue overwhelmed him with strength!
A beam of golden-red light shot from the side, hitting the female statue's body in the heart!
She suddenly froze, reverting to an inanimate object. At this moment, Fu Qingyang, who was already wearing a black cloak embroidered with golden cloud patterns, took out a golden dragon-head sword.
As the sand cloak fluttered in the wind, he tapped the female statue's forehead with the sword!
"Crack!"
Exaggerated cracks appeared on the statue's head. Fu Qingyang immediately retracted his sword after a successful strike. At the same time, Zhang Yuanqing switched to White Blade state, activated the defense-ignoring Severing Shape skill, and hammered it fiercely into the statue's cracked brow!
With a "bang," a pit appeared on the statue's brow, and gravel splattered!
The defense-ignoring Severing Shape still failed to penetrate the statue's head, which only meant that the statue's defense wasn't about hardness, but its material itself.
Being subjected to deadly attacks twice in a row caused the female statue to break free from "control." She raised her head and let out a soul-shattering scream, then swept the iron sword across!
Fu Qingyang felt a sharp pain in his brain and experienced slight dizziness!
If the Automaton Master with an iron will was already like this, let alone Xiahou Aotian, Demon Eye Heavenly King, and Yinyao Junzhu, who were all in a state of loss of control!
Suddenly, a gentle and powerful force flooded into his mind, soothing the dizziness and pain. He heard Yuanshi Tianzun's urgent shout in his ear: "Crouch down."
Everyone crouched down again, avoiding the earth-shattering sword strike!
The high wall behind them was forcibly shortened by a section, and shrubs, trees, and vines all fell down, the cut perfectly smooth!
The flower crown on Fu Qingyang's head lit up, and the surrounding trees instantly came to life, with roots and vines resembling tentacles, tightly wrapping around the female statue!
"Puff..." Countless sword energies burst out from the female statue's body, shattering the objects entangled around it!
Zhang Yuanqing, who had activated the Blazing Sun skill, suddenly manifested the "Voidification of Heaven" rule in front of her and integrated it into the Purple Thunder Hammer. He smashed his right fist with spiked knuckles toward the statue's face!
In the distance, there was a "boom" as the ground caved in. The Demon Eye Heavenly King with three heads and eight arms relied on pure speed to arrive behind the female statue like a ghost, opening his eight arms and wanting to firmly clamp her down!
Fu Qingyang took a dozen steps, raising the Golden Dragon Sword high. Yinyao Junzhu transformed into starlight and appeared on the right side of the female statue, drumming up surging Yin energy as one spirit sealing talisman after another quickly formed!
The female statue lightly tossed the old yellow gourd she was holding, letting it fall above her head. The hand that was freed up then grabbed Zhang Yuanqing's wrist with lightning speed and swung him backward!
