Chapter 681 The Unextinguished Candle (6th update)
at this time.
The negative effects of the magic of shrinking the earth to an inch also began to appear. Qin An felt dizzy and lightheaded, and his ears were ringing uncontrollably!
Along with this, noticeable side effects such as pale complexion and sweating on the forehead also appeared.
However, Qin An did not show any outward signs of his true feelings.
He forced himself to kneel on the ground, enduring the discomfort, and leaned on the black gold ancient sword with his right hand to forcefully appear as if he were fine in order to deceive the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing.
really!
Hou Qing was stunned by Qin An's skill of shrinking the distance to an inch.
They could only stand there and watch Qin An intently, not daring to take the initiative to attack again. Qin An was able to use this time to digest the side effects of shrinking the distance to an inch.
[Holy crap...did you guys see that? Qin An just used his Flash skill again! I wonder if that thing has a cooldown?]
[What the hell is that teleportation?! I've told you so many times! That's a magical technique—shrinking the earth to an inch!]
[This thing must have side effects, right? I saw Brother Qin An use it before, and he was kneeling on the ground like this, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.]
[Indeed! But it seems this thing has no cooldown? If it doesn't have some side effects, it's really overkill!]
[Wait a minute... Wasn't Brother Qin An previously dominating the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing? How come he's suddenly being forced to use the Shrinking Earth Technique?]
I think so too! It's like that evil thing suddenly became stronger!
..............................................
at the same time.
In the tomb.
The dim yellow light emitted by the eight ever-burning lamps shone on the surface of the black gold ancient sword. The yellow light refracted and pierced Qin An's eyes, causing him to involuntarily squint.
When he opened his eyes again and looked at the Corpse Ancestor Houqing.
But Hou Qing seemed to be a giant solar panel, like a black hole, quietly devouring the yellow light.
But this illusion only lasted for half a second before disappearing completely.
Qin An raised his left hand and rubbed his eyes.
But a moment later, he seemed to have thought of something!
It seems that ever since that Corpse Ancestor Houqing roared and lit the eight eternal lamps in this tomb, that guy has become exceptionally ferocious!
Could it be that!
These eight ever-burning lamps are the source of power for the Corpse Ancestor Houqing.
Think of this.
Qin An found it somewhat unbelievable.
However, apart from this, there seems to be no other good explanation for why the Corpse Ancestor Houqing suddenly became so powerful.
"Old Hu! I'll hold off this Corpse Ancestor Houqing for a bit, and you extinguish the candles in these ever-burning lamps one by one!" Qin An instructed Hu Jizhou without turning his head, looking at Corpse Ancestor Houqing.
Hu Jizhou kept an eye on the battle while holding the Vajra Umbrella.
He was also confused as to why the Corpse Ancestor Houqing had suddenly become so powerful, and he didn't know why Qin An had asked him to extinguish the Everlasting Lamp. But since Brother Qin An had said so, there must be a reason.
Hu Jizhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay!"
Seeing that Hu Jizhou had agreed, and with his mind having recovered somewhat, Qin An stood up again and suddenly rushed towards the direction of the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing.
All of a sudden.
Qin An's figure transformed into a black lightning bolt!
Qin An approached the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing at an extremely fast speed. Upon seeing this, the latter not only showed no fear but also grinned, looking at Qin An with a mocking expression.
“Crack, crack, crack—”
Qin An and Shi Zu Hou Qing clashed again.
Without hesitation, Hu Jizhou rushed to the nearest ever-burning lamp, lifted the skull on top, and then tried to blow out the thumb-sized candle inside.
"call--"
however.
To Hu Jizhou's surprise,
No matter how hard he blew, the flame, though it appeared to flicker in the wind, simply could not be extinguished.
See this.
Hu Jizhou was sweating profusely with anxiety!
He reached out and pulled the candle out, then pressed the burning flame directly to the ground and pounded it hard, but no matter how hard he pounded it for a long time, the flame just wouldn't go out!
Is there a ghost protecting this flame?
"Qiang Qiang Qiang——"
The sounds of metal clashing and fighting came from Qin'an's direction.
Hu Jizhou turned his head to look. Although Qin An's expression was calm, he was taking steps backward. Clearly, the Corpse Ancestor Houqing had gained the upper hand.
See this situation.
Hu Jizhou became even more anxious!
He couldn't blow them out or extinguish them by crushing them. What else did he need to do? He couldn't exactly drag Kunbala out and let him piss on it, could he?
Urine?
Upon hearing this word, Hu Jizhou seemed to recall something.
He suddenly grabbed the candles in his hand, and while Qin An and Shi Zu Hou Qing were fighting in front, he ran over and took all the candles from behind.
Qin An noticed out of the corner of his eye that Hu Jizhou had removed all the candles at the back, leaving only the ones at the front. So he pulled Shi Zu Houqing to the back to continue the fight.
This gave Hu Jizhou the opportunity to remove all the candles in front of him.
Hu Jizhou clutched the eight candles in his hands, refusing to let go despite the flames burning his flesh. Then, he ran into the passageway behind him with the eight candles in his hands.
He hasn't forgotten!
There was a pond on their way here!
If you throw these eight candles into that pond, even if the water can't extinguish them, the depth of the water will be enough to obscure the light they emit.
The Corpse Ancestor Houqing could not absorb this light.
Naturally, it won't be very powerful!
Then Brother Qin An will be able to easily control him!
Think of this.
Hu Jizhou ran even faster!
"Da da da da da-"
Hu Jizhou ran to the edge of the pond, and before he could even stand still, he heard a splashing sound coming from the water!
"Splash—splash—"
Take a closer look.
It turned out that the burial fish had swum over again.
Hu Jizhou grinned and said, "Do you guys eat this stuff?"
He then threw down the eight still-burning candles.
"Thump... thump..."
As Hu Jizhou had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.
The eight candles that fell into the pond showed no signs of going out; some even landed on the fish that were being buried in the water, and the flames burned them so much that the fish quickly swam away.
Because candles are denser than water.
The eight inextinguishable candles gradually sank to the bottom!
The dim yellow light gradually faded until finally no yellow light could be seen at all, and the surface of the pond returned to complete darkness.
Hu Jizhou patted his hands, a hint of smugness on his face.
"Now Brother Qin An should be able to defeat the Corpse Ancestor Hou Qing!"
