Chapter 1556
by Moonlit_Scholar_C Just as the Green Pupil Evil Monarch’s exclamation sounded, the figure of Elder Qu Shuang was once again manifested.
However, at this time, Elder Qu Shuang, whether it was his eyes or his complexion, no longer had the slightest bit of human qi.
It was like an intangible puppet being manipulated by some kind of force.
“Pa！”
Before Xu Taiping and the Green Pupil Evil Monarch could come to his senses, it was seen that the Elder Qu Shuang who was like a walking corpse, suddenly slapped a heavy palm on an ancient bronze cauldron in front of him.
The next moment, clouds of chaotic mist surged along Elder Qu Shuang’s arm towards the bronze cauldron.
In an instant, the originally very old bronze cauldron became as bright and new as ever.
Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping was extremely certain that the Elder Qu Shuang transformed by the person in the mirror was operating the power of the Ruins.
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the Green Pupil Evil Monarch beside him and said：
“Senior, stop him, or else we’ll all die！”
Actually, even without Xu Taiping’s reminder, the Green Pupil Evil Monarch had already been preparing to take action against this Elder Qu Shuang.
“Zheng！”
Amid the sound of the sword chirping, the Green Pupil Evil Monarch personally held the handle of the Broken Army sword and slashed towards Elder Qu Shuang with a single sword strike.
As the berserk sword energy within the Green Pupil Evil Monarch’s body was injected into the Immortal Sword Broken Army without any scruples.
Accompanied by a deafening sound of an air explosion, the Immortal Sword Broken Army manifested a huge sword shadow and slashed onto Elder Qu Shuang’s body with a single strike.
“Boom！”
But to Xu Taiping’s surprise, the moment the sword shadow touched Elder Qu Shuang’s body, it shattered like a bubble.
A gray mist, carrying an extremely strange power, then spread along the broken sword shadow.
The Green-Pupil Evil Monarch immediately dodged away with extreme vigilance.
Although he dodged extremely fast, the long sleeves of his magic robe were still contaminated by that mass of gray mist.
In just an instant, the long sleeves of the Green-Pupil Evil Monarch’s magic robe turned into wisps of silk threads.
Subsequently, these wisps of silk threads began to produce branches and grow green leaves.
There is no doubt that within that gray mist, there is also the power of the Returning Ruins.
“Swish！”
The Green-Pupil Evil Monarch cut off the long sleeves of the magic robe without hesitation.
But in just this short moment, the gray mist gushing out from the body of Elder Qu Shuang had already wrapped the array magic tool.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping’s heart immediately tightened and said：
“Senior, he intends to infuse the power of the Returning Ruins into the great array and turn this great array used to seal the Yuanzhu into a great array that allows the Yuanzhu to revive！”
When the Green-Pupil Evil Monarch heard this, while his heart was shocked, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said：
“If that’s the case, then there is no other way but to use that sword！”
As he spoke, he was seen raising the Breaking Army Sword in his hand with one hand, and with the other hand, the index finger and middle finger were close together and his eyes resolutely wiped hard on the blade of the Immortal Sword Breaking Army.
“Zheng！ …”
In an instant, the Immortal Sword Breaking Army let out an extremely “excited” sword cry.
At the same time, on the sword of the colorful sword lights suddenly lingered.
Immediately afterwards, the Green Pupil Evil Lord lifted his sword and rose from the ground, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Elder Qu Shuang.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying sword momentum suddenly spread out with the Green Pupil Evil Lord as the center, causing the ground in this area to tremble violently.
The moment he felt this sword momentum, Xu Taiping finally understood why there was a resolute look in the eyes of the Green Pupil Evil Lord.
There is no doubt that the sword that the Green Pupil Evil Lord is about to unleash is very likely to cause great harm to the enemy while also inflicting heavy losses on himself.
“Senior Li Daoyan！”
And just as the Green Pupil Evil Lord was about to strike with his sword, Elder Qu Shuang, who Originally had dull eyes and was staring closely at the bronze tripod in front of him, suddenly forcefully turned his head around, and then shouted loudly at the Green Pupil Evil Lord with a pained look in his eyes and said：
“Don’t come over！”
At the same time, the gray mist on the bronze tripod, like the ebbing sea water, returned to Elder Qu Shuang’s body.
Xu Taiping and the Green Pupil Evil Lord, who Originally suspected that this might be the person in the mirror stalling for time, both showed confused expressions in their eyes after seeing this scene.
And the Green Pupil Evil Lord also vigilantly stopped his sword momentum.
After noticing that Qingtong Xiejun stopped his sword momentum, Elder Qushuang’s face suddenly showed a relieved expression.
Immediately afterwards, he was seen trying to move his hands away from the bronze tripod while explaining to Xu Taiping and Qingtong Xiejun：
Wuyou little friend, Senior Li Daoyan.
This is a conspiracy.
If you don’t strike your swords, the great formation will reverse and the Yuanzhu will wake up.
If you strike your swords, Senior Li Daoyan, your swordsmanship and this immortal sword Pojun will both be taken away by the power of Guixu.
Even more so, compared to using the power of Guixu to reverse this great formation, the Yuanzhu even more hopes to use the power of Guixu to take away your swordsmanship, Senior Li Daoyan.
Because the Yuanzhu’s awakening will be a very long process, it may take as fast as one or two hours, or as slow as three to five days.
During this period, your sword, Senior, is still a great threat to the Yuanzhu.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping and Qingtong Xiejun’s hearts jolted together.
They didn’t expect that Qushuang would know the Yuanzhu so well and could even know its intentions.
Qingtong Xiejun immediately asked Qushuang very vigilantly：
How did you break free from the Yuanzhu’s control and how did you know all this？
Upon hearing this, Qushuang first grinned somewhat proudly and then explained：
“I was originally the same as Brother Yizhu and the others. When entering that Qingming Spring, not only was my true body sealed in the Qingming Spring, but also the Yuanzhu used the power of Guixu to create an identical clone.”
“But this Yuanzhu underestimated my Kuruojing and also underestimated my determination to kill him.”
When saying this, I saw that Qu struggled to move a few steps backward trying to keep his body away from that large bronze tripod as much as possible.
Then, he continued to explain with a smile：
“In order to lure you step by step to this great formation, the Yuanzhu only gave this clone of mine one order, which was to use the power of Guixu to lure Senior Li Daoyan to make a move after coming to the ruins of this great formation.”
“So before completing this order, every word said by that clone and every decision made were no different from those of the old man himself.”
“It is precisely because of this that the clone would, like the old man, in order to stop those Sun and Moon Guardians from breaking through the Barrier , not hesitate to risk his own life and finally fell into a coma due to serious injuries.”
“But that Yuanzhu definitely didn’t expect that when my true body was sealed by him, I first activated the true meaning of the Kuruojue ‘Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun’ at the cost of burning my soul.”
“After this true meaning is activated, as long as there is my Kuruojing true essence in the body of a cultivator, once the vitality withers, the mind and cultivation base will be taken away by me.”
“So, from the moment you revived my doppelgänger in the mirror.”
“I, who was sealed in the Qingming Spring, already had the ability to take over this doppelgänger.”
“Not only did I break free from the seal of the Yuan Lord, but also learned a part of the Yuan Lord’s intentions from this doppelgänger.”
When saying this, Qu Shuang suddenly grinned and showed a proud smile.”
Although Xu Taiping and the Green Pupil Evil Monarch didn’t fully believe Qu Shuang’s words, there was still a look of amazement on their faces.
