Chapter 956: 956
Chapter 956: Blue Wood Seal and Weapon Spirit
At this time, countless vines and trees entangled the enchantment, but the gray enchantment was as stable as before. There were fluctuations at all.
After Ji Ying quickly consumed the elixirs, a primitive big seal appeared in his hand after a flash of blue light.
This seal was the size of a head and square. It was engraved with strange runes which seemed to be ancient texts. A blue light spreads out from the big seal.
As soon as the vines wrapped around the barrier came into contact with the blue light emitted by the big seal, they withered quickly and then melted away.
“Blue Wood Seal!” The blue light flashed, and Lan Si’s figure appeared not far away, staring at the big seal in Ji Ying’s hand with anger.
Ji Ying sneered a few times in the enchantment, but there was also a trace of reluctance in his mind.
Blue Wood Seal was one of the sacred weapons of the Blue Wood Clan. Once activated, this Wood Spirit Great Array could be broken in the blink of an eye.
However, this treasure had a time limit for use. Once it was used, it would not be able to be used a second time within a short period of time.
The Shadow Wolf Clan came to the upper realm ruins for another major purpose, and the Blue Wood Seal was a key treasure to achieve this purpose. However, Ji Ying had no choice to save his life at this moment.
Blue Wood Seal was like a bottomless pit, sucking his spiritual power continuously.
As a Real Pellet State cultivator, Ji Ying had profound spiritual power, but after a few days of chasing and fighting, plus he used the berserk mystic art just now, so he felt a little overwhelmed.
In just 3 seconds, the strange runes on the big seal light up one by one.
With a humming sound, the Blue Wood Seal floated up from its hands, emitting circles of intense blue halo.
Under the illumination of blue light, the gray enchantment quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it shattered with a “click” and turned into 4 dull gray beads that fell to the ground.
As soon as the trees outside the big array came into contact with the blue light, they were quickly melted and turned into a thick green mist that rolled toward Ji Ying.
Ji Ying held up the big seal in his hand while chanting. The surrounding mist was all devoured by the wooden seal.
It took only 8 for the Wood Spirit Great Array, which was originally lush and covered an area of several hundred meters, to completely collapse. Dozens of meters away, Liu Ming and Lan Si were shown.
“Haha, without the Wood Spirit Great Array, what can you 2 still do…” Ji Ying flew forward slowly while laughing.

Contrary to his expectations, Liu Ming and Lan Si did not have the slightest panic. Instead, they looked at him with seemingly calm eyes.
Ji Ying’s laughter stopped abruptly, and a bad premonition surged in his mind. However, he immediately decided to kill one of them first.
Without the interference of the Wood Spirit Great Array and with the remaining berserk power, he had a certain chance to kill one of them in a short period of time.
Ji Ying was about to rush toward them, but as soon as he moved, several vital points on his body suddenly ached and lost their senses. His beastkin aura and stamina disappeared without a trace too.
He widened his eyes with disbelief. He used the remaining strength to turn his head, and he finally saw what happened to him.
The Blue Wood Seal in his hand had penetrated his sturdy body through the dark red armor with countless fine transparent crystal silks.
At this moment, the Blue Wood Seal was flickering like a beating heart. The transparent crystal silks sucked away Ji Ying’s beastkin aura, then they began to suck his blood and soul. Bursts of delighted hissing sounds could be heard.
After Ji Ying shouted, his 6 meters tall body quickly shriveled.
Ji Ying, a well-known Pellet State beastkin cultivator in the Savage Wild Continent, actually died in a random valley of the upper realm ruins.
After a few “clicks“, the aura in the dark red armor on the dry corpse was also absorbed by the transparent crystal silks, turning into a dull armor that shattered into pieces.
The Blue Wood Seal, which was full, broke free from the dry corpse’s hand, suspended in mid-air alone, and continued to emit circles of blue halos.
Witnessing this scene, Liu Ming let out a long sigh of relief without showing too much surprise.
Before this battle, Lens had already told the truth about the Blue Wood Seal’s secret.
The reason why this seal could become the sacred weapon of the Blue Wood Clan was because an extremely terrifying weapon spirit was sealed inside the big seal. The condition to awaken it was to lay the Wood Spirit Great Array, then let a Blue Wood Clan’s member break the seal and offer his flesh and blood essence. The person must also be a Real Pellet State beastkin cultivator. The cost of it was huge.
Once the weapon spirit was fully awakened, the power of the Blue Wood Seal would naturally increase greatly, and there would be more mysterious powers. However, it was difficult to really control it, so the Blue Wood Clan’s people didn’t want to awaken it too.
As a result, over time, except for the patriarch and a few people, most people of the Blue Wood Clan did not know the true secret of the Blue Wood Seal. When using this sacred weapon, they only used its supportive and buff functions.

The Shadow Wolf Race naturally wouldn’t get to the true secret of the Blue Wood Seal. He just took it because of its extraordinary buff effect and its importance to the Blue Wood Clan.
Lan Si’s status in the Blue Wood Clan wasn’t low, so she got to know the true secret of the Blue Wood Seal and learn the way to awaken the weapon spirit by chance. This was why she made up such a plan with Liu Ming.
She first set up the Wood Spirit Great Array in advance, then Liu Ming used himself as a bait to suppress Ji Ying with the help of the Wood Spirit Great Array, forcing him to use the Blue Wood Seal.
Then, Lan Si used mystic arts to communicate the weapon spirit secretly, borrowing the power of the weapon spirit and Blue Wood Seal to finally finish off Ji Ying.
When her enemy was dead, even though she was extremely ecstatic, she looked at the Blue Wood Seal in the air with a solemn face.
After absorbing Ji Ying’s blood and beastkin aura, the transparent crystal silks still waved around like they weren’t satisfied.
On the surface of the big blue seal, an indistinct face appeared faintly at this moment. It stared at them blankly, and a malicious aura gradually spread out.
“Miss Lan”
Liu Ming was slightly shocked, and he reminded her.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Lan Si replied without hesitation after hearing this.
She flickered and appeared near the big seal.
The woman in blue clothes looked extremely serious. She raised her hands above her chest, and a strange dry branch appeared out of thin air. She chanted a series of obscure incantations.
The dry branch emitted a layer of blue light that wrapped her with the Blue Wood Seal.
Immersed in this blue light, the transparent crystal silks around the big blue seal calmed down instantly.
Seeing this situation, Lan Si breathed a sigh of relief. She spat out unknown blue runes into the big seal.
After a dozen minutes, the runes on the Blue Wood Seal slowly dimmed. The transparent silks disappeared. The malicious aura was gone. The face disappeared in a flash.
“Pa!“
When the last ray of light dissipated from the Blue Wood Seal, the seal fell to the ground and returned to normal.
Lan Si was at ease. A layer of fine sweat could be seen on her forehead. She quickly took the Blue Wood Seal and checked it carefully before showing a hint of excitement.
Liu Ming threw a glance at Lan Si, then he flew to Ji Ying’s dry corpse and took off a black bracelet from his wrist.
Seeing this, Lan Si handed over the item she promised and thanked Liu Ming,
“Thanks to Mr. Liu that I am able to successfully kill Ji Ying and regain the sacred weapon of my clan!”
“Miss Lan is polite. This alliance is a matter of mutual benefit. With the True Soul Fruit as a reward, I will of course do my best.” Liu Ming smiled. When he mentioned True Soul Fruit, he deliberately emphasized it.
“Here is the True Soul Fruit. Mr. Liu, please keep it.” Lan Si smiled slightly, and a square jade box had already appeared in her palm.
The material of the jade box looked quite strange. It was neither gold nor wood, nor did it look like some kind of jade. It glowed with a layer of light green light.
“Algae jade…” Liu Ming said when he saw the jade box.
“Mr. Liu even recognizes this material. Yes, this box is indeed made of algae jade. The full name of algae jade is spiritual light algae jade. It is a special jade produced in the Savage Wild Continent, which can guarantee that the aura of the True Soul Fruit will not leak out.” Lan Si said with a little surprise.
Liu Ming hummed noncommittally, took the jade box, and opened it.
Inside the jade box was an egg-sized faint green fruit. On the surface of the fruit, there were green spirit patterns looming on it. The aura that emanated from it was astounding.
“This is indeed the True Soul Fruit. It is fully mature, and its medicinal power has not dissipated.” Liu Ming showed a dignified face. After carefully examining it for a while, he nodded in satisfaction.
“It’s great that Mr. Liu is satisfied.” Lan Si straightened the hair on her temple and chuckled.
Liu Ming closed the jade box and put it into the Sumeru Ring.
Immediately, they removed the enchantment in each other’s bodies.
So far, all the things that they agreed on had been achieved.
The next moment, they looked at the thing in each other’s hands.
What Liu Ming was holding was the storage bracelet he just took off from Ji Ying, and what Lan Si was holding was the Blue Wood Seal.
“Now that Ji Ying is dead, we should split up the loots.” Liu Ming tossed the storage bracelet in his hand and said lightly.
“There’s no need to divide. I’m already satisfied to retrieve the sacred weapon of my clan. You can keep them.” Lan Si smiled and kept away the Blue Wood Seal.
