Chapter 920

"Ah???"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, especially in this gloomy place where there was no light!

That short stone statue, rather than a stone statue, was more like a large rock. It was just that the top of the rock was very small, like a human's head, and on this head, one could faintly see the facial features!

What was special was that where the eyes were, there were two depressions. If one looked carefully, there was an inexplicable attraction that attracted one's gaze.

Zhang Xiaohua was precisely like this. His eyes were immediately drawn to those two sunken holes, as if he was being drawn in by the deep eye sockets of a skeleton. Unknowingly, Zhang Xiaohua's grip on the Great Wisdom Sword tightened.

At this moment, there was another strange change. From the top of the stone statue, a clear "huala" sound was heard, and a yellowish-brown light shot up to the sky. As far as Zhang Xiaohua's eyes could see, that light was like a huge dragon that had ascended to the heavens, spiraling in the sky and condensing into a huge yellowish-brown stick. Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to react, that stick roared and smashed towards Zhang Xiaohua's forehead!

It actually came crashing down from the sky from a distance of ten feet.

For a moment, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the stick that seemed close but was actually far away, and was actually stunned on the spot!

Early on, when the Sharp Gold Palace broke the core of the Metal Element Array, there were ten thousand swords above the core of the array, which made him suddenly realize that the use of the Immortal Dao Flying Sword was not something that he could blindly fumble about on his own. Even the huge sword that was condensed from the Metal Element Vital Qi made him feel enlightened!

However, whether it was ten thousand swords or one sword, it didn't give him as much of a feeling as this shocking stick.

This yellowish-brown stick was only ten feet away from him, but the power of that stick directly pressed down on Zhang Xiaohua's heart. It was as if that stick that was condensed from the Earth Element Vital Qi weighed millions of catties, and as long as he was touched by this stick, he would definitely end up as minced meat!

This … what kind of staff technique was this!

Zhang Xiaohua had the cultivation of the Immortal Dao, so he could survive in the Pugilistic World. Most of the time, he would meet people with his martial cultivation. However, other than Ethereal Steps, Big Dipper Divine Fist, and the Great Wisdom Heavy Sword in his hand.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xiaohua would use her strength to subdue her opponents. She wielded the Great Wisdom Sword and used the Dream Weaving Sword Technique to fight her enemies. However, the Dream Weaving Sword Technique was a flying sword and was much less exquisite than the sword techniques in martial arts. This caused her to suffer a lot in battle. This was evident in her life and death battle with Xi Mujun.

At this moment, seeing the power contained in the staff formed from earth element Yuan Qi, as well as the faint swaying of the staff, it seemed to have countless moves to deal with his counterattack. And all of his counterattacks gave him the feeling that they were like eggs striking a stone.

This feeling caused him to tremble with fear and his soul to scatter. However, it also caused him to be enlightened. Perhaps the Great Wisdom Sword could be used in such a manner!

In a flash, Zhang Xiaohua thought of many things, and that shocking stick was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Seeing that the mud stick was already in front of her, Zhang Xiaohua did not know how to deal with it. She clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and used the Ethereal Steps. Like a sharp sword, she rushed towards the eye of the formation. At the same time, she raised the Great Wisdom Heavy Sword in her hand. Just like how she dealt with the huge golden sword in the Sharp Golden Palace, she directly knocked it against the mud stick.

With a "clang", the huge mud stick collided with Zhang Xiaohua's Great Wisdom Heavy Sword. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua reacted on the spur of the moment and ran a few feet forward. She was in the middle of the mud stick and did not wait for the full force of the mud stick to hit her. However, even so, an abundant force was transmitted from the Great Wisdom Heavy Sword. With a "poof", Zhang Xiaohua's internal organs were shaken and a gush of blood spurted out!

As for Zhang Xiaohua's body, it was smashed into the ground like a bamboo stick!

As Zhang Xiaohua's body smashed into the ground, the huge mud stick followed the momentum and smashed into the ground with a "poof", creating a long and thin hole in the ground within a hundred feet. A cloud of dust rose and the originally ruined area was smashed into powder!

With a 'hua' sound, like flowing water, the yellow-brown earth stick immediately turned into nothingness after it collided with the ground, scattering into the air. As for the human-shaped rock, it also swayed a couple of times, as though it was about to fall. Only after a long while did it stabilize itself.

Just as the stone statue stabilized itself, with a "poof", a human figure jumped out from the ground. It patted away the dust on its body and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Are you kidding me? This … this stick actually … actually didn't kill me?"

The astonished Zhang Xiaohua looked at her body from top to bottom. She moved her arms and legs and felt that it was inconceivable. "Eh, this is …" Zhang Xiaohua's eyes fell on the blood that she had spat out on the ground.

"Why is there a trace of gold in this blood?"

Zhang Xiaohua squatted down to look at the bloodstains. She used her thumb to wipe off a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth. No, in the bloodstains on her thumb, there was actually a trace of a gold substance.

Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head. It was not that she had not been injured before, but she had never noticed it before. Since when was there such a strange substance in her blood?

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was thinking, the stone statue a few feet in front of her slightly swayed again. Zhang Xiaohua was startled. But when she raised her head to look, she saw a yellowish-brown Yuan Qi rush out from the top of the stone statue's head. Immediately after, it scattered in all directions. It was no longer as monstrous as before.

"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohua laughed. She threw the strangeness of the bloodstains to the back of her mind and walked forward. Needless to say, this human-shaped stone statue must be the mechanism of the Earth Elemental Array Core. At this moment, without sufficient Earth Elemental Yuan Qi, the stone statue could no longer perform the shocking stick strike. Zhang Xiaohua naturally wanted to take this opportunity to break the array core.

Sure enough, until Zhang Xiaohua walked closer, she did not see any movement from the stone statue. Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to grab the stone statue. She exerted a little force, but the stone statue actually did not move at all. "Aiyo, why is it so heavy?"

Zhang Xiaohua was secretly surprised. Then, she used all her strength with one arm, but the stone statue only moved a little. It was not until Zhang Xiaohua used both arms that the stone statue was lifted up and moved it to the side. It seemed that this stone statue was tens of thousands of pounds in weight.

When the stone statue moved away, it revealed a depression under the stone statue. There was a round yellowish-brown bead spinning in the depression. Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. She formed a seal and the Earth Elemental Bead flew into Zhang Xiaohua's hand.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua kept the Earth Elemental Bead, she felt the ground shake. It was as though the earth was shaking. Zhang Xiaohua did not panic. Wan Wuxin had clearly said that this Five Elements Formation was formed by the terrain. A few years ago, it was destroyed by Wan Wuxin and the others. This time, she was lucky enough to take away the Five Elements Beads in the five formation cores. Only a few fake Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace were placed in the formation cores. This Five Elements Formation could be considered to be completely destroyed. When she took away the last Earth Elemental Bead, it would naturally cause a change in the entire formation. Therefore, she immediately took out the last Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace and placed it in the formation core. Immediately, the shaking became much smaller. However, the continuous rumbling sounds continued to be heard. Presumably, the Huan Xu was even more ruined.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua's gaze landed on the human-shaped stone statue, she immediately sensed something. It was almost midnight. Zhang Xiaohua quickly sat down cross-legged and placed a few jade talismans around her. Then, she closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.

Endless starlight came as expected and enveloped Zhang Xiaohua. At the same time, the starlight also enveloped the human-shaped stone statue. Just as Zhang Xiaohua was refining the starlight, the seven orifices of the stone statue were also emitting starlight from time to time!

The next day, Zhang Xiaohua woke up. There were no changes in her surroundings. She released her divine sense and carefully inspected the stone statue that could condense earth elemental Yuan Qi. However, other than the desolate, ancient, and profound aura that was emitted from the stone statue, she could not sense anything else!

Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously frowned and thought to herself, "The weight of this stone statue is much heavier than the Great Wisdom Sword. The most peculiar thing is that the Great Wisdom Sword could not move Yuan Qi. However, this stone statue can actually condense Yuan Qi. According to what Wan Wuxin said, long before they came here, this Five Elements Formation already existed. Therefore, this stone statue must be an instrument used by the Immortal Dao before the Immortal Dao.

Needless to say, it must be extremely precious … "

"But … Even lifting the Great Wisdom Sword requires a lot of effort. How can this stone statue be moved away?"

Zhang Xiaohua pinched her chin and thought for a long time. During this time, she also tried to release her divine sense to see if she could put the stone statue into her belt. However, this stone statue was like the Great Wisdom Sword and could not be moved!

"What should I do now?"

Zhang Xiaohua only frowned. She had already encountered several things that she could not bring away. Her heart was filled with regret. Therefore, she had even more thoughts. Suddenly, her heart moved. She thought of the refining method that she had recently learned from Wan Wuxin. Therefore, she walked forward and placed her palm on the top of the stone statue's head. Activating her Qi, she refined the stone statue just like how she refined the stone tablet!

There was no need to elaborate on the origins of this stone statue. It was the one that was already famous before Wan Wuxin and the rest came here. Of course, it could not be compared to the white jade stone tablet. It was also not something that Zhang Xiaohua's extremely crude refining method could refine.

However, this stone statue had suppressed the Earth Elemental Array for a long time. Moreover, it had been used many times during the ten thousand years when the Heaven and Earth Elemental Qi was scarce. That attack on Zhang Xiaohua just now had exhausted the last of its Qi. Therefore, it was now at its weakest. What was even more coincidental was that last night when Zhang Xiaohua circulated her mental cultivation method and absorbed the starlight. This stone statue was also like rain after a long drought. It absorbed all the starlight that Zhang Xiaohua attracted and tasted the sweetness.

This morning, when Zhang Xiaohua woke up, the starlight was naturally cut off. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua channeled his Qi into it. His Qi naturally had starlight in it. The stone statue did not check and only thought that the starlight had appeared again. Therefore, it let its guard down and opened its seven orifices …
