Chapter 331 United We Stand to Defeat the Enemy
The quantum interface inside the bronze cauldron glowed with a faint blue light. When Ye Shuli was dragged into the mouth of the cauldron by Jiang Ye, she suddenly felt a burning pain on the back of her neck.
The moss on the necks of those cultivators who were originally stiff suddenly swelled, and purple light condensed into spider web-like chains that wrapped around the tripod legs.
"Retreating to the Xun position is a scam?" Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the wound from his split hand rubbing against the bronze pattern.
The 49 ever-burning lights in the laboratory suddenly went out, leaving only the faint purple light floating in the eye sockets of those affected.
Ye Shuli's palm, gripping the magnetic confinement device, bulged with veins. Sparks flew as the modern alloy casing clashed against the bronze cauldron. "The star map's magnetic field arrangement corresponding to the Twenty-Eight Mansions is correct, unless—" she suddenly stared at the half-compass in the leader's decaying hand, "unless there are two array nodes!"
Before the words were even finished, twelve poisoned bone blades pierced through the air and arrived.
Jiang Ye spun around and pulled Ye Shuli into his arms, his back hitting the cauldron wall with a dull thud.
The young man's blood-stained clothes brushed against her nose, carrying a warm, metallic scent: "Young Miss, you're only just realizing it now?"
Suddenly, the laboratory floor cracked, and the ripples generated by the resonance between the magnetic confinement device and the bronze cauldron knocked the three recently berserk spiritual masters to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Shuli bit her fingertip and painted a fragment of Maxwell's equations on the inside of the cauldron. The dark red bloodstains perfectly overlapped with the bronze rust.
"Retreat!" The moment the purple light chains shattered the bronze cauldron's handle, Jiang Ye suddenly grabbed her bleeding hand and pressed it onto the quantum interface.
The collision between modern technology and ancient formations created a shockwave, and the twenty-eight affected individuals let out inhuman howls in unison.
The leader's sandpaper-like laughter pierced the eardrums: "A fine theory of magnetism generating electricity and electricity generating magnetism." His rotting right fingertip swept across the void, and a blood-red star map descended from the laboratory dome. "Unfortunately, I understood this three hundred years ago."
Ye Shuli's pupils suddenly contracted.
Those blood-red star charts were clearly antimatter annihilation equations, but when the leader embedded half of the compass into his heart, the moss on the necks of all those affected suddenly turned pitch black.
The violent spiritual power that had been suppressed by the magnetic field surged back like a tsunami, and the quantum interface issued a piercing alarm.
"Watch out!" Jiang Ye's shout was torn apart by the spiritual energy storm.
Ye Shuli watched helplessly as the magnetic restraint device cracked, and the modern creation embedded in her dantian began to frantically drain her primordial spiritual power like a greedy vampire.
The light of purification pierced through the dome at that moment.
The phantom of the seven-layered lotus bloomed in the sky, and the six spiritual masters who were being corroded by the dark moss suddenly clutched their heads and screamed in agony.
An old man in a blue robe walked up the steps formed of scriptures, and with a flick of his sleeves, he threw out twelve jade talismans: "Amitabha Buddha!"
All the heavens are vast and boundless—"
"You old bald monk, you're asking for death!" Veins bulged beneath the leader's rotting face as he raised his hand and summoned three pitch-black skeletons.
However, the purified spiritual master has turned his sword against his out-of-control companions and is now engaged in a fierce battle.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Shuli tore open her collar and pressed the damaged magnetic restraint device against Jiang Ye's bleeding tiger's mouth: "Use your wolf bloodline as a conductor!" The moment their palms touched, the magnetic field remaining in the bronze cauldron and the young man's blazing demonic power collided violently, and under the blessing of the purifying light, they wove into a golden-red electric net.
"Here it comes!" The purification master suddenly tossed over half a scroll of tattered scripture.
The moment Ye Shuli caught it, a modern technological creation resounded in her dantian—the back of the scroll was embroidered with a particle collision diagram using nano-gold thread.
The leader suddenly let out a beast-like roar.
When Ye Shuli looked up, she saw the black skull biting the Purification Master's left shoulder.
The old man's snow-white beard and hair instantly turned half of it black, but he still held down the skeleton that wanted to pounce on Jiang Ye: "Girl!"
Use an electromagnetic field to fix his spiritual core!
Jiang Ye's bloodstained canine teeth brushed against her earlobe: "Want to gamble?" The young man's eyes were still bloodshot, but the demonic power in his palm had already condensed into the shape of a lightning rod.
Ye Shuli slammed the incomplete scripture onto the quantum interface, watching the text and code merge into a rotating Tai Chi diagram: "I bet your ancestors!"
When two opposing spiritual energies were simultaneously poured into the bronze cauldron, all the ever-burning lamps in the laboratory suddenly burst into flames.
In the blinding white light, Ye Shuli saw a crack appear on the compass in the leader's chest, and the seven lotus flowers of the purification master were dimming at a visible speed.
In the intense light bursting from the quantum interface, Jiang Ye's demonic lightning rod suddenly trembled.
The young man stumbled and bumped into the edge of the bronze cauldron, a metallic taste rising in his throat—on the left scapula of the leader of the cultivators who had been affected by the attack, there was a light spot the size of a mung bean flickering among the blood-red star map.
"Three inches below the Tanzhong acupoint!" Jiang Ye roared as he cleaved the incoming bone blade.
The light spots appeared and disappeared as the leader made hand seals, clearly fragments of a spirit core that had been eroded by evil energy.
Ye Shuli used her backhand to insert the fragments of the magnetic restraint device into the ground.
Electromagnetic currents gushing from the device's cracks intertwined with purification scriptures, forming a pale golden barrier around the three individuals.
The leader of the cultivators, whose right hand had been rotting from the impact, slammed it onto the barrier, causing black moss to grow wildly along the cracks.
"Three breaths!" Five petals of the Purification Master's seven-layered lotus had withered, and the blood bead spilling from the old man's mouth glowed with an eerie purple light. "This old monk will use the Brahma Bell to immobilize his feet!"
The bronze cauldron suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
Ye Shuli caught a glimpse of the spiritual energy flow diagram appearing on the quantum interface, and kicked Jiang Ye in the back of the knee: "Borrow the east wind!" As the young man rose into the air with her force, silver-blue arcs of electricity lit up simultaneously in the twenty-eight constellations.
The roar of the cultivator leader, which affected the cultivators, shook the dome of broken rocks.
The purple-gold alms bowl thrown by the purification master exploded into dust in mid-air, and the flying Buddhist mantras condensed into chains that bound his ankles.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Shuli slammed the last three magnetic storm chips into the cracks in the ground, and the electromagnetic barrier suddenly contracted into a cone of light that pierced the leader's heart.
"Now!" Jiang Ye's demonic lightning rod and light cone struck the spot of light simultaneously.
The cracking sound was like ice shattering, and the golden light emanating from the leader's left shoulder blade instantly engulfed the laboratory.
The six out-of-control spiritualists suddenly froze and collapsed to the ground.
The black moss on their necks faded to gray-white, and the alarm at the quantum interface stopped abruptly.
Ye Shuli leaned on the cauldron handle, panting, but found that her palm was stained with blood seeping from Jiang Ye's lower back.
"Is the young lady feeling sorry for him?" The young man's pale lips were stained with blood, giving them an eerie look, and lingering arcs of electricity still danced on his fingertips.
His expression suddenly changed, and he swung out three lightning blades with his backhand: "Dodge!"
The leader's remains, which should have dissipated, suddenly swelled up.
Asphalt-like material gushed out from the cracks in the ground, enveloping the broken bricks of the laboratory and forming a new body.
When Ye Shuli was thrown away by the shockwave, the metal fragments of the magnetic restraint device caused a burning pain in her dantian.
"He's absorbing the energy of the rift!" Black flames erupted from the Purification Master's robes, and only the last trembling petal remained of the seven-layered lotus. "The connection to the Netherworld must be severed!"
Jiang Ye's lightning blade blasted scorch marks on the dark body's surface.
The youth's pupils contracted to vertical slits, and the wolf shadow materialized by demonic power was crushed by a giant hand formed from asphalt as it pounced into the air.
The backlash of spiritual energy forced him to kneel on one knee, choking on blood clots containing fragments of internal organs.
Ye Shuli tore off the nano-gold wire around her neck.
The moment the particle collision spectrum unfolded in the void, she pressed her bleeding left hand against Jiang Ye's back: "Conduct electricity for me!" A golden-purple beam of light, a mixture of modern technology and demonic power, blasted towards the crack, but strangely twisted and dissipated ten inches away from the Netherworld energy.
The new body of the leader of the affected cultivators has grown to three meters tall.
The remains of forty-nine ever-burning lamps in the laboratory floated around him, the lamp oil mixed with ghostly substances condensing into a swirling nebula.
The purification master suddenly tore open his chest and threw the golden Buddha bone at Ye Shuli: "Use the Vajra Wrathful Gaze Formation!"
"No!" Jiang Ye roared, his voice carrying the distinctive tremor of a wolf.
Ye Shuli had already grasped the Buddha bone, and the nano-gold wires automatically wound into a precision circuit.
When the golden light of Buddhism pierced through her retina, she saw Jiang Ye's rushing figure being blown away by the wave of ghostly energy.
The quantum interface suddenly and automatically reassembled.
Ye Shuli's wisps of hair on her forehead moved without wind, and the Buddha's bone melted into liquid gold foil in her palm.
She stepped forward with the Yu Step towards the giant black hand, the electromagnetic array that lit up beneath her feet perfectly overlapping with the Buddhist swastika symbol: "Jiang Ye!"
Summoning Heavenly Thunder!
The young man bit his tongue, his canine teeth stained with blood.
The instant the demonic lightning rod pierced his heart, the laboratory dome was simultaneously cleaved open by nine bolts of purple lightning.
Ye Shuli saw the vortex in the center of the leader Youming's body in the lightning, which was the connection point between the rift energy and the present world.
"It's a gamble with my life..." she laughed as she patted the Buddha's Bone Golden Liquid into her chest.
As the nano-gold threads moved across the skin's surface in an array, Jiang Ye's thunderstorm and the purification master's chanting arrived simultaneously.
The white light that erupted at the point where the three forces converged engulfed the entire space.
Before Ye Shuli lost consciousness, she heard the crisp sound of porcelain shattering, and the roar of the netherworld matter abruptly stopped.
As she stumbled into his rusty embrace, she saw Jiang Ye's right hand, charred by lightning, still tightly protecting the back of her head.
All that remains of the laboratory floor are deep, bottomless cracks.
The floating, ghostly matter receded into the ground like the receding tide, vaguely revealing half a face wearing a bronze mask.
The figure flicked his finger, and the dissipating Netherworld energy suddenly condensed into an arrow that shot towards the Purification Master.
"Watch out!" Jiang Ye rolled behind the bronze cauldron while carrying Ye Shuli.
The moment the arrow pierced the Purification Master's right chest, the old monk used his last strength to throw the sandalwood prayer beads into the crack.
Amidst the golden light bursting from the Buddhist prayer beads, the bronze mask emitted a teeth-grinding grinding sound, and a sigh that was neither a smile nor a laugh came from the depths of the crack.
When Ye Shuli struggled to lift her head, she could only see half a bloody palm print remaining at the edge of the crack.
The palm print followed the exact same pattern as the one created by the enemy who slaughtered the Ye family three hundred years ago.
