Chapter 316: One Step Faster

"Be careful."

Liu Shan did not dare to delay. A holy light grew in his body, covering all three of them. There was also a divine dragon and a divine phoenix flying around them, dispelling the evil spirit that permeated every pore.

"whoosh"

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the dense forest, its facial skin was wrinkled and looked extremely ferocious, and it rushed towards the three people with gusts of evil wind.

"Devil Ape!" Qi Huoshui was shocked. This was the transformation of an extremely powerful man after his death. His little hand couldn't help but grab Princess Yudie beside him.

Liu Shan also had a stern expression as he looked at the strange beast in front of him that was more than ten feet long.

Its body was covered with black scales and it exuded an inexplicable hatred. Its eyes were fixed on the three people with great resentment, as if it regarded them as mortal enemies.

"This is a ghost bred in the tomb. It is naturally hostile to all living things. Once it discovers life, it will fight to the death. It is very difficult to deal with." Qi Huoshui reminded in a low voice, fearing that Liu Shan would fall into the trap of this monster.

Princess Yudie even took the initiative to take out the fragment of the holy weapon she had obtained before and struck it hard. The space began to fluctuate and a terrifying bell sounded in the ancient forest.

"boom"

The devil ape swung its sharp claws, and a faint light appeared, carrying a trace of resentment, and collided directly with the bell.

"Ow"

The devil ape screamed again, like a ghost, but it did not attack again. The bell ringing just now also made it feel afraid.

Seeing that the Devil Ape was actually afraid of the fragments of the Holy Weapon, Qi Huoshui's eyes moved slightly, and he also sacrificed a piece of the fragment, turning his head to look at Princess Yudie.

The two men attacked at the same time, and two pieces of holy weapon fragments of the same origin collided directly with each other.

The sound of the bell that shook the heavens and the earth rang out again, as if to cleanse this monster from the abyss.

"what"

With a shrill scream, the Devil Ape failed to block this time and its body flew backwards. The horrible sound waves caused it great harm, and a trace of fear finally appeared in its resentful eyes.

However, the devil ape had thick skin and flesh, and although it was injured by the previous attack, this minor injury only made it feel afraid.

Although it was afraid, the monster still stood in the ancient forest and was reluctant to leave.

"Ow..."

After a long time, the devil ape suddenly let out a long howl, which was different from the previous ghost howl, as if it was expressing something.

Not long after, the sound of breaking air came from the ancient forest!
Surprisingly, four more devil apes surrounded them. They all had ferocious faces and malicious eyes.

They had defeated a monster, and although it refused to leave, the two girls were already very happy. But now four more monsters appeared and surrounded them together.

"We have only just entered the ancient cave not long ago!" Liu Shan frowned, feeling helpless.

A purple-gold gourd appeared in his hand again, and an inexplicable aura began to emanate. Thousands of purple-gold divine lights fell down, as if to crush eternity.

The purple color is mysterious and noble, not particularly dazzling, but it illuminates this ancient forest brilliantly.

The devil ape, which was originally resentful and ferocious, immediately screamed and trembled with fear after seeing the Immortal-Slaying Gourd!

Although they did not recognize that this was the legendary imperial weapon, their instinct as animals made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

When Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui saw the Immortal-Slaying Gourd again, their expressions became calm!
Once the quasi-imperial soldiers appeared, these ghost apes would be unable to resist at all.

"Please turn around, treasure gourd." With a light shout, several divine sources appeared in Liu Shan's hand, all of which turned into source energy and flowed into the gourd.

"Swoosh" a ray of fairy light immediately flew out of the gourd's mouth, it was so brilliant, as if it was condensed from countless lines!

It was so fast that in a flash, the five devil apes wanted to escape, but they couldn't even turn around. Their bodies were all cut by the fairy light and their bodies were separated!

Along with their souls, they dissipated in an instant.

The five devil apes have been killed, but Liu Shan has no intention of putting away the Immortal-Slaying Gourd!

There are too many dangers in the ancient cave, so it is better to keep the quasi-imperial weapon to protect yourself and have peace of mind.

The three of them set out again, traveling rapidly all the way through the deep ancient forest.

Gradually, a strange noise came from a distance.

"Crash..."

It seemed to be the sound of iron chains shaking. As I got closer, the sound became clearer and more terrifying.

Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui were tortured by the harsh sound and trembled all over, with their hair standing on end unconsciously.

Divine power emanated, and a rosy glow protected his body, but the sound was pervasive, and he could only keep getting closer to the purple light in front.

A black river began to run across the front, without a single ripple, extremely calm. However, as one glanced over it, one could feel a hint of magic in it, as if it wanted to devour one's mind.

"Is this the legendary Taiyin True Water?" Princess Yudie frowned.

This is the legendary holy water, rarely seen in the outside world. Just a small gourd is worth a fortune, but there is a whole river here.

"Let's collect some from everyone." Liu Shan looked around.

It is not his character to not take a valuable treasure. Although this place may be full of dangers, with the quasi-imperial weapon, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, Liu Shan can calm down.

Princess Yudie and Qi Huoshui naturally would not object. Now that they had quasi-imperial weapons to protect them, they felt that it would be unlikely for a fatal crisis to occur on this trip.

The calm Black River began to fluctuate, and three streams of water began to fly out of the Black River and were absorbed into the three Taoist artifacts.

The stream in the middle that flows into the Purple Gold Gourd is unusually wide, almost half the width of the Black River.

"Crash..."

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the creatures in the Black River. A creature like a dragon or a dragon gradually floated up, and a bloody dorsal fin appeared in front of the three people.

Before the strange beast flew out of the Black River, it was locked by the suction emitted by the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, and its own blood began to fly out of its body involuntarily.

In the blink of an eye, a strange beast that could live in the Taiyin True Water had its blood and flesh sucked dry. Without any divine power to protect it, its skin and bones were completely worn away by the Taiyin True Water.

Soon, the spacious Heihe River became narrow and the water level dropped at a distance visible to the naked eye.

As the water level of the Black River dropped, a bone ship began to appear. It was made up of countless monks' skulls and floated on the Black River, looking extremely eerie.

But all three of them were monks, so they were not afraid. They flew up tacitly and steered the bone boat across the Black River.

"Ding Dong..."

When they reached the center of the Black River, the three men saw that there was an iron chain above them. It was as black as ink and without a trace of light.

If you look closely, you can see many dead bodies clinging to the iron chains. They are staring at Liu Shan with a leisurely gaze, without a trace of life.

"Hmph." Liu Shan snorted coldly and swung the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in his hand again. The bright purple light it emitted was enough to shatter all the corpses and turn them into endless ashes.
