Mortal Mage

"coax"

At the bottom of the dark deep sea under Shi Manman's feet, a strong flame suddenly exploded. The flame burned boomingly in the sea water, illuminating a large area of ​​the seabed scenery, with no signs of extinguishing.

The magic sharks around the flames were frightened and fled in all directions.

Shi Manman's body was covered with bloody wounds, and her spiritual power had long been exhausted. Now she was only supported by her physical strength and no longer cared about anything else. She dragged the bodies of two tied-up earthen children in her hands and dived into the deep sea flames.

In her current state, it is impossible for her to survive, let alone survive the Demon Sea.

Seeing Shi Manman leaning over and diving deep, a dozen magic sharks began to shake their tails wildly again and swam towards Shi Manman.

"hiss……"

A magic shark slashed across Shi Manman's lower abdomen, and its sharp teeth tore off a piece of her clothes. Then, a dozen magic sharks followed closely behind.

Shi Manman tightly grasped the jade sword in her right hand, and dragged the child's body with her left hand as she rushed towards the fire.

Although she is not an array master, she understands array formations. The fluctuations emitted by the flame are activated by the gathering of spiritual power, and the flame is not offensive at all. If nothing unexpected happens, the array should be a defensive array, most likely a formation secretly set up by a cultivator in Xianzhou City.

There are only two possibilities for this formation to be activated. One is that there is someone inside the formation and it is activated actively. The other is that some species is about to invade the room and it is activated passively.

But no matter what the situation, she didn't need to enter the formation. She just needed to use the flames outside the formation to get some breathing time.

While thinking, she mobilized the golden elixir in her dantian, and the golden elixir was once again squeezed out of a trace of remaining spiritual power. Then the golden elixir in her body quickly dried up, and her face became more and more haggard.

The spiritual power first flowed into her heart, and then spread throughout her body.

She clenched her teeth, endured the severe pain all over her body, and transferred that bit of spiritual power to the flying sword.

"confused……"

The flying sword dragged Shi Manman's body, wrapped in bubbles, and dived rapidly towards the direction of the deep-sea flames. A dozen magic sharks followed closely behind her.

She felt the temperature of the sea water was getting hotter and hotter, but this temperature did not pose a threat to her as a Jindan stage cultivator.

The magic shark was obviously a deep-sea monster that couldn't adapt to the slightly higher temperature. It gradually dispersed from behind her and stopped chasing her.

After seven or eight breaths, she had already approached the flame, and the flying sword in her hand had once again exhausted its spiritual power and its speed slowly decreased.

She looked around the seabed with the help of the light of the fire and found that the magic sharks were all far away from the formation and did not come closer at all.

"call"

She took a deep breath, felt relieved, and reached out to take out some spirit stones from her storage bag to restore her spiritual power.

"Gululu"

A bubble rose from the flame, and the flame slowly went out, and the time of one stick of incense was up.

Shi Manman looked terrified as she stared at the dying flames on the seabed.

This was her last chance to survive. The moment the flame went out, a large group of magic sharks swam towards her at a rapid speed.

"Heaven wants to destroy me."

She sighed heavily and slowly closed her eyes.

"Sister, are you okay? Do you want to hide in our formation?"

Suddenly, a cheerful and gentle girl's voice came to Shi Manman's ears. It was transmitted, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

After the flames died down, in front of him was a mahogany house from Zhoucheng, with a handsome man and a pretty girl standing in the window.

"It's a human, a cultivator from Zhou City!"

Shi Manman was delighted. She dragged the child in her arms and swam desperately towards the window.

"Grumpy"

The barrier on the window slowly closed.

She first stuffed the two children into the window and then climbed in.

A warm current enveloped them, and a golden-red barrier covered the window. At the same time, she felt a subtle flow of air, separating the sea water outside from the air in the room, forming a safe buffer zone.

After the outer formation rose, the small formation inside the house slowly closed, forming two layers of space. This is a special airlock formed by nesting two layers of formations.

In this double-layer formation environment, Shi Manman finally felt a little safe.

"puff"

A large amount of pus and blood spurted out of Shi Manman's mouth.

"Hurry up, Hua Yu, treat her injuries."

Zhang Mingxuan stood aside, looking at the woman lying in the house in horror.

At that time, he had met Manman in Zhoucheng. It was said that Manman was a Jindan-stage cultivator at that time. She had mastered the Xianyuan Sect's Xianlan sword technique like a shadow. Although she could not be said to be invincible in the same realm, she was one in a thousand in Cuiyun Continent.

"Master, she is in the Golden Core Stage. We can't save her."

Hua Yu blinked wildly at Zhang Mingxuan.

"Save, save, save if you can."

Zhang Mingxuan urged Hua Yu in an anxious tone.

Shi Manman is the person who guides Xiyun in Xianyuanmen. Saving Shi Manman is helping Xiyun.

He knew in his heart that Yun gave all his belongings to him not because of his useless spiritual roots, but because he wanted to save the Canglang Continent.

Xiyun trusted him, so he must not let her down.

"Master, here, look at her."

Hua Yu was about to stand up and help Shi Manman up; "She seems to be able to recover on her own."

Shi Manman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and pushed Hua Yu away. She actually sat up, crossed her legs and began to meditate. At the same time, she closed her eyes and said to Hua Yu, "These two children with earth and wood spiritual roots are dead, but their souls have been suppressed in my body. I would like to trouble you to cast a spell to guide the souls of these two children into the soul lamp first."

Her yellow and white gauze dress was wet and stuck to her body. She clasped her hands in front of her belly and breathed softly. At the same time, a crystal clear bottle inlaid with runes, with a slender mouth and flashing a faint blue light rolled out from the storage bag on her waist.

"Oh."

Hua Yu walked gently to Shi Manman's side, bent down and picked up the bottle; "How do I draw it?"

"The law is long and profound, the law is far away, yin and yang blend, the living soul returns to the extreme, the soul is revived, the life is long and long, and the lamp soul is immortal."

Shi Manman sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless, and paused for a moment; "First calculate the location of the Death Gate today, and use the Yang technique with both hands, through the three west roads of Qiankun. The spiritual power first respects the ghost path, then enters the heavenly path, and returns to the life gate. A single word "lead" can activate it. When manipulating it, you must only observe the Death Gate in your consciousness, and you must not be distracted."

"Sister, this is the Soul Catcher's Finger Technique. I am a disciple of the Sword Sect. How can I learn it in one go?"

Hua Yu held the soul lamp bottle in her hand with a sad look on her face.

As a disciple of the Sword Sect, it was already amazing for her to know a little bit about formations. She didn't want to learn how to lead souls into lamps because it was too tiring.

"Even if you can't, you have to do it."

A medium-grade spirit stone rolled out of Shi Manman's storage bag with the sound of "ding ding dang dang".

A middle-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is the income of an outer sect disciple in a hundred years. Shi Manman didn't believe that this woman would not be tempted.

Although this finger seal requires some effort, the most important thing is the magic weapon, the Soul Lamp, and the finger seal is only used to activate it.

"I don't want to, I can't, I won't learn."

Hua Yu stroked her hair and shook her head. He wanted to get rid of her with just a medium-grade spirit stone. He really didn't take her and her master seriously.

"My beloved disciple, you want it, you can do it, you need to learn."

Zhang Mingxuan took out a handful of medium-grade spirit stones at some point.

He is the honorary master of this child with earth and wood spiritual roots, so how could he not save him?

"Oh, Master, why are you like this?"

Hua Yu's tone was full of displeasure, but she had a smile on her face. She first bent down and picked up the middle-grade spirit stone beside Shi Manman, then turned and walked to Zhang Mingxuan's side. "Master, let me count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." She slapped the spirit stone she picked up into Zhang Mingxuan's hand. "Including this one, there are seventeen in total. Keep them here first, Master. I will try out the soul-stealing master's finger technique."
