Chapter 1067
was too difficult.
With a soft "thud," Shi Ji's longsword pierced through Morgan's chest, sending up a trail of blood.
Morgan stared at Shi Ji with wide eyes, his face showing disbelief.
He never imagined that he would be defeated by these two juniors, and so utterly!
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately could not utter a word. His body slowly collapsed, lifeless, and the dark wizard died at the hands of Shi Ji.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qingyangzi swung his longsword and beheaded Morgan, thus ending the battle.
As Morgan's headless corpse slowly fell, Shiji and Qingyangzi both breathed a long sigh of relief.
The battle was incredibly difficult; they nearly died at Morgan's hands.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Shi Ji discovered Morgan's weakness and decisively killed him, allowing them to escape danger.
At this moment, they were filled with relief and joy, and at the same time, they admired Shi Ji's keen observation and decisive action.
"Shiji, you're amazing! You actually saw through Morgan's weakness and decisively killed him! I'm truly in awe of you!"
Qingyangzi looked at the rocky islet and gave it a thumbs up in praise.
Shi Ji smiled upon hearing this and said, "You flatter me. Actually, you also contributed to our victory over Morgan! If you hadn't kept him occupied, I wouldn't have been able to find a weakness and kill him. So this victory is the result of our joint efforts."
Qingyangzi nodded and said, "That's right! This victory was indeed the result of our joint efforts! Our excellent teamwork was what allowed us to defeat Morgan! It was so exhilarating!"
The two men exchanged a smile, both feeling a lingering fear, but also happy and proud of their success in defeating Morgan.
Shi Ji patted Qing Yangzi on the shoulder and said, "Let's not be too happy yet. Although Morgan is dead, we don't know what dangers are hidden in this castle. We need to be careful and find an exit to leave here as soon as possible."
Qingyangzi nodded, his expression also becoming serious: "Shiji is right, we cannot let our guard down. This ancient castle is unpredictable, and there may be some traps or mechanisms waiting for us."
The two exchanged a glance and walked together deeper into the castle.
They carefully made their way through the ruins to a tightly closed door.
This door is ancient and heavy, covered with intricate patterns, and exudes a mysterious aura.
Shi Ji reached out and pushed, but found that the door did not budge.
He frowned and began to examine the patterns on the door closely.
Qingyangzi also came over, and the two of them studied it together.
“These patterns seem to be an ancient sealing formation,” Shi Ji said in a deep voice. “To open this door, we’ll probably have to break this formation first.”
Qingyangzi nodded: "That's right. I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the patterns on the door, and began to slowly channel his true energy into it.
Shi Ji stood aside, vigilantly observing the surroundings to prevent any accidents from happening.
As Qingyangzi channeled his true energy, the patterns on the door gradually lit up, emitting a faint glow.
However, at that moment, some strange noises suddenly rang out from all around!
Suddenly, the patterns twisted and deformed, turning into small black snakes that coiled around Qingyangzi!
"Not good! It's a trap!" Shi Ji reacted quickly, pulling Qing Yangzi away while simultaneously slashing at the black snakes with her sword.
With a series of loud "bangs," the small black snake was struck by Shi Ji's sword energy and turned into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.
Qingyangzi looked at Shiji with a pale face: "Thank you, Shiji! That was really dangerous!"
If Shi Ji hadn't intervened in time to save him, he probably would have been strangled to death by those small black snakes!
Thinking about this, he felt a chill of fear.
Shi Ji shook her head and said, "It's alright. This castle is full of dangers, we need to be more careful."
After saying that, he looked at the tightly closed door again. "It seems this formation is not simple. We need to find a way to break it."
Qingyangzi nodded and said, "Yes. However, this formation seems to be related to dark power, so we must be careful." He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't rashly tried to open the door earlier, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!
The two looked at each other and saw the determination and resolve in each other's eyes.
They knew that even greater challenges awaited them, but they were fully prepared!
No matter what, they must persevere until they find a way out and leave this place!
After careful observation and thought, Shi Ji suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I've got it! This formation must be using dark power to seal this door! We can try to break it using light power!"
Qingyangzi's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Great idea! I'll give it a try!"
After saying that, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the patterns on the door, and began to slowly channel in the true energy of light.
Shi Ji stood by, lending him a helping hand. Together, they fought against the dark force. Gradually, they felt the patterns on the door begin to loosen, as if a crack had appeared.
"It's working! Let's keep pushing!"
Shi Ji shouted to boost morale, and Qing Yangzi nodded, gritting his teeth and continuing to persevere.
Finally, through their tireless efforts, the tightly closed door slowly opened!
A dazzling light shone from behind the door, illuminating their faces. They felt a wave of warmth and comfort, as if all their weariness had vanished!
"Great! We've finally opened this door!" Qingyangzi shouted excitedly. Shiji also smiled with joy: "That's right! We succeeded!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the pressure had been released in an instant!
They eagerly stepped through the door, only to be greeted by a vast underground cavern. The cavern was filled with all sorts of strange crystals and gems, shimmering with iridescent light, making the entire cavern appear like a fairyland!
"Wow! This place is so beautiful!" Qingyangzi exclaimed. Shiji nodded in agreement: "That's right! This is probably where Morgan's hidden treasure is! Let's quickly look for an exit."
The two began searching the cave, hoping to find an exit.
After a careful search, they finally discovered a hidden door tucked away in a corner. Behind the door was a long passage, its destination unknown. "Looks like this is the exit! Let's hurry!" Shi Ji said. Qing Yangzi nodded in agreement: "Alright! Let's get out of here quickly!"
After saying that, the two walked hand in hand into the passage and disappeared into the darkness.
Only the echoes of footsteps remained, fading into the distance...
After an unknown amount of time, Shiji and Qingyangzi finally emerged from the long passage and returned to the ground.
They looked up and saw a clear blue sky, with bright sunshine shining on them, making them feel warm and comfortable.
"Great! We've finally left that eerie castle!" Qingyangzi stretched and said, "It wasn't easy!"
Shi Ji also exclaimed with emotion, "Yes! We were able to escape successfully this time, all thanks to your help, Qingyangzi!"
He looked sincerely at Qingyangzi and expressed his gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Qingyangzi smiled and said, "Don't say that about Shiji! We're good friends! Helping each other is only right!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, all the gloom from before vanished!
They knew that even more exciting adventures awaited them.
After leaving the castle, Shiji and Qingyangzi decided to travel to a nearby mysterious mountain range to search for the legendary ancient ruins hidden there.
It is said that the place contains countless treasures and cultivation resources, making it a veritable treasure trove for cultivators.
Both of them were cultivation enthusiasts and naturally did not want to miss such an opportunity.
Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, showing no signs of fatigue despite having just experienced a life-or-death battle.
Shi Ji gazed at the rolling mountains ahead, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Qingyangzi, what kind of treasures do you think might be hidden in those ancient ruins?"
Qingyangzi chuckled, shaking his head as he said, "That's hard to say! Since it's an ancient ruin, it must contain many rare treasures that we've never seen or heard of before. Maybe we can even find some legendary martial arts techniques inside!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ji immediately became interested: "Peerless martial arts? That's something to look forward to! If we could learn one or two peerless martial arts, our strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds!"
Qingyangzi nodded, his expression becoming serious: "However, since that ancient ruin is so mysterious, it must also hide many dangers. We must proceed with caution."
"Don't worry! We'll be careful!" Shi Ji patted Qing Yangzi on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget we're the best partners! We can turn any danger into safety!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, both filled with confidence and determination.
They knew that the upcoming adventure would not be smooth sailing, but they were fully prepared to meet any challenge!
After several days of trekking, the two finally arrived at the entrance to the mysterious mountain range.
At the entrance stood a huge stone tablet, covered with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura.
"It seems this is the entrance to the ancient ruins!" Shi Ji said, pointing to the stone tablet. "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Qingyangzi frowned, carefully examined the runes on the stone tablet, and said, "These runes seem to be an ancient sealing formation. If we enter rashly, we might trigger the seal and cause unnecessary trouble. I think we should break this sealing formation first before going in."
Shi Ji nodded upon hearing this, "You're so thoughtful! Let's get started!" The two then began to carefully study the runes on the stone tablet, trying to find a way to break the sealing formation. However, this sealing formation seemed to be much more complex than they had imagined, and after studying it for a long time, they still couldn't find any clues.
"What should we do? We can't just stay here forever, can we?" Shi Ji said anxiously. Qing Yangzi frowned as well: "This sealing formation is indeed very complex, but we can't give up because of it. Let's take a closer look; maybe we'll find something."
The two approached the stone tablet again, carefully examining each rune.
Time ticked by, and just as they were about to lose patience, Qingyangzi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Shiji, look! This rune is somewhat similar to the rune on the sealing formation we encountered in the ancient castle before! Perhaps we can use the same method to break it!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ji perked up and immediately looked at the rune that Qing Yangzi was pointing to.
really!
That rune is very similar to the rune on the sealing formation they encountered in the castle before!
He secretly rejoiced, thinking to himself, "It seems that this time it really is heaven's help!"
With their previous experience, they will definitely be able to break this sealing formation this time!
So the two of them began to try to break the sealing formation using the same method as before.
They worked together to fight against the mysterious force. Gradually, they felt the runes on the stone tablet begin to loosen, as if a crack had appeared.
"It's working! Let's keep pushing!"
Qingyangzi shouted to boost morale, and Shiji nodded, gritting her teeth and continuing to persevere.
Finally, through their tireless efforts, the sealing formation on the stone tablet was successfully broken!
A dazzling light shone from behind the stone tablet, illuminating the two people's faces, and they felt a sense of warmth and comfort!
"Great! We've finally broken this sealing formation!" Shi Ji shouted excitedly. Qing Yangzi also smiled with joy, "That's right! We succeeded!"
The two eagerly passed through the stone tablet and entered the mysterious mountain range.
The mountain range has a complex terrain, with caves, waterfalls, cliffs and precipices, and one could easily lose one's way or fall into danger.
But Shiji and Qingyangzi were both experienced explorers, and they proceeded cautiously, constantly searching for traces of ancient ruins.
After a careful search, they finally discovered an entrance hidden deep inside a cave.
The stone walls on both sides of the entrance are covered with ancient totems and characters, seemingly telling a story of a long history.
"It seems this is the entrance to the ancient ruins!" Qingyangzi said, pointing to the entrance. "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Shi Ji nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Of course we have to go in! We finally found this place, how can we leave empty-handed?" After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the cave, and Qing Yangzi followed closely behind.
The two walked along the passage inside the cave, and gradually they sensed a strange aura coming from ahead.
They became increasingly wary and quickened their pace. Soon, they arrived at a vast underground palace!
This palace is ancient and mysterious, its walls covered with intricate patterns and designs, seemingly telling a story of untold history. (End of Chapter)
