In the icy cold deep sea, there is a dead silence everywhere.
The light of the sword is like the bright moon in the dark night, guiding Jiang Ning on the way forward.
But as time went by, Jiang Ning felt that the scene in front of him began to become more and more blurry, and even the bright sword light seemed not so dazzling.
The consumption of spiritual energy and long-term mental tension have already caused him great fatigue. If he continues like this, he will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of the sword light piercing the air.
In that case... Jiang Ning looked back behind him.
After the sword light passed by, the separated seawater gathered again and turned into a muddy swamp. The hair-thin seawater was like a life-threatening water snake, madly spitting messages at Jiang Ning.
If you can't keep up with the sword light, there will only be one ending: being swallowed by the sea water and dying silently in it, becoming one of the thousands of bones that have died on the seabed of life and death over the years.
"No, we must escape!" Jiang Ning felt fierce in his heart and bit the tip of his tongue, letting the severe pain stimulate every inch of his nerves to regain consciousness.
But the moment Jiang Ning woke up, his whole body was shocked.
At some point, many black figures suddenly appeared in the water near him.
These figures had their hands hanging by their sides, each with his head lowered and standing in a standing posture suspended in the sea water. They looked strange and lifeless, and looked very similar to the floating corpses mentioned in some rumors.
What's even more frightening is that they just appeared around Jiang Ning, threatening to surround him, and their sheer number made Jiang Ning's scalp numb and his limbs cold.
"This..." Jiang Ning was frightened by the sudden scene, and he suddenly woke up. At the same time, he immediately circulated his spiritual energy to form a barrier around himself for protection.
So many floating corpses appeared suddenly, and each of them had a strong aura. Anyone who was surrounded by them would probably be scared to death.
"The Sea of Life and Death is a restricted area for living beings. It's weird and weird. It's not surprising that these things appear. With the Heavenly Sword Intention, they don't dare to act recklessly. As long as I don't take the initiative to provoke them, I think everything should be fine."
After forcing himself to calm down, Jiang Ning found that although these floating corpses were not far away from him, none of them really dared to come close. After thinking about it, he realized that it was the effect of the sword of heaven.
Wu Shiyi borrowed the sword from Heaven to cut through the sea of life and death, let alone these evil creatures that can only survive by relying on the sea of life and death.
They must be afraid of the sword light, so they don't dare to approach or surround them, they can only linger around themselves, pretending to be mysterious.
After understanding this, Jiang Ning ignored the hundreds of floating corpses and continued to use his spiritual energy to follow the sword light. However, he soon discovered something was wrong.
These floating corpses don't seem to be satisfied with just scaring themselves.
They are about to take action!
Just as thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, the floating corpse closest to him suddenly flew over.
The sea water broke apart, and the floating corpse slammed straight towards Jiang Ning. Its speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
However, before Jiang Ning could take action, the floating corpse instantly disintegrated as it approached, turning into clouds and disappearing.
Jiang Ning looked at Jianmang fiercely, feeling determined.
It's sword energy!
At the moment when the floating corpse collapsed, Jiang Ning clearly felt an extremely cold sword energy bursting out from the sword light and killing the floating corpse.
This sword energy is majestic and solemn, like the power of heaven. Even if there is only one ray, it is enough to kill this troublesome floating corpse in an instant.
However, this ending did not make Jiang Ning optimistic, because after the first floating corpse took the initiative to die, the remaining floating corpses also started to move.
They rushed forward one after another, rushing towards Jiangning as if they were dead. Even though they knew they couldn't get close enough, they still couldn't stop their actions.
"Something's wrong!"
When sword energy burst out, Jiang Ning unexpectedly discovered a problem.
That is, as the sword energy is consumed, the light of the Heavenly Dao sword seems to become dimmer than before.
Even though this bleakness is not obvious, it is real.
"So that's it. The reason why these floating corpses did this is to consume the sword light and prevent me from walking out of the sea of life and death!" At this moment, Jiang Ning instantly understood their intentions.
The Sea of Life and Death has begun to take action!
However, this result did not surprise Jiang Ning. When the sword of heaven opened the way to life, he had thought that the sea of life and death would intervene.
I just didn't expect that its interference would be far more terrifying than I imagined.
"Given the weirdness of the Sea of Life and Death, it could have used its absolute power to confront the sword of heaven, but it did not do so. Instead, it chose to consume the floating corpses first and slowly try to get rid of it."
"Could it be that... someone is controlling it behind the scenes, or that this natural restricted area has given birth to its own consciousness?" Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
There are quite a few restricted areas for life on the Jiuzhou Continent, but several other restricted areas were formed later, such as the blood pool and the deserted fortress. Although the deeper reasons are not known, it seems to be common sense that their masters have consciousness, and no one feels surprised.
.
But the natural restricted area is different.
There seems to be no record of the Sea of Life and Death and the Great Wuling actively causing trouble to the Kyushu Continent. Therefore, the Five Academy and Four Sects judged them to be dead objects, and as long as they did not actively enter them, there would be no danger.
But once they also give birth to intelligence, the whole thing may completely change.
The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the more horrified he felt, and he also understood that the secrets involved were not something that he, a small Yang God realm, could understand and participate in, so he quickly put away his thoughts and concentrated on following the sword light.
Under the terrifying lethality of the Tiandao sword, all the floating corpses here were quickly killed. But just when Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, the surroundings suddenly changed and regenerated.
The originally dark and cold sea water began to turn bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the sea water also changed from cold to warm, and finally to boiling hot.
"Damn it, do you think you can't do anything with the Heavenly Dao sword light, so you are ready to burn me to death!" Jiang Ning could no longer rely on the sword light, so he could only use his spiritual energy to build a barrier to isolate himself from the scalding sea water.
But in this way, the spiritual energy will be consumed faster.
If there is no way to break the situation, Jiang Ning will face two choices. One is to endure the scalding sea water and bet that he can break out of the sea before being scalded to death. The second is to use his spiritual energy on the protective barrier, but the result is that he cannot follow.
With the speed of the sword, the chance of escaping from the sea of life and death is lost.
However, no matter what it is, the outcome is death.
Without exception!
"It seems that legends are sometimes true and not necessarily false. Looking at ancient and modern times, it is true that no one can escape from the sea of life and death." Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a little powerless in his heart.
…
Dongjie City, coast.
"Look, there's something strange happening in the seawater in the distance." A sharp-eyed guard was the first to notice the abnormality and hurriedly exclaimed.
Hearing this, the others cast their gazes one after another.
I saw that the sea water in the sky turned into blood due to some unknown influence.
Huang Zhang frowned even more tightly.
"There hasn't been any response from the Five Courts and Four Sects. If we don't send strong men over, I'm afraid the entire Dongjie City will become the first victim of the Sea of Life and Death's invasion of the Kyushu Continent!"
