Chapter 702 Witch: That's not how you use the God-Slaying Stone!

The God-Slaying Stone wobbled and flew to the ruins, then began to pretend to examine the runes on the wall.

Its surface shimmered, as if it were being studied carefully.

But in reality, it had already started to make its own plans.

"This formation...tsk tsk, it's not simple."

The God-Slaying Stone muttered to itself, its voice drawn out: "An ancient killing formation from the Immortal Ancient Era. These patterns, these runes, the layout of the formation's core... these are all long-lost techniques. In all my years of life, this is the first time I've ever seen such a complex formation."

Shi Hao stared at it without saying a word, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The God-Slaying Stone continued to shake its head, observing the array patterns on the broken wall while muttering, "Difficult, too difficult... If I were to force a breakthrough, let alone an incense stick's time, even three days and three nights wouldn't be enough. Besides, I'm still in the advancement stage, my spiritual power is insufficient, and my mind isn't very sharp..."

"so what?"

Shi Hao frowned and asked.

The God-Slaying Stone sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness: "So... even I can't break this formation... This formation is too powerful; I've never seen anything like it before, and I don't know where to begin. Brother Shi Hao, perhaps we should think of another way?"

Shi Hao pondered for a moment, just about to say something.

But just then, Lin Dong suddenly came over.

He looked at the God-Slaying Stone with a suspicious expression and said, "You...you're not trying to be lazy and pretending it can't be opened, are you?"

The God-Slaying Stone immediately bristled: "Slacking off? Do you think I'm that kind of stone? I really can't break it. Look at these runes, each one contains the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, interlocking and affecting everything. How can a newly advanced God-Slaying Stone compare to the big shots of the Immortal Ancient Era?"

Lin Dong curled his lip: "You said all of this yourself, we didn't know anything about it!"

At this moment, Han Li also walked over.

He took over the conversation, saying, "This formation is indeed profound, and I don't understand it either. What the God-Slaying Stone said may not be a lie."

The God-Slaying Stone quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes... This fellow Daoist has an excellent eye. I never lie!"

Shi Hao looked at the God-Slaying Stone for a moment, then said, "Go try it first... we'll see if you can break it."

The God-Slaying Stone was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be reluctant: "Alright, alright, since Brother Shi Hao has said so, I will reluctantly give it a try. But let me make this clear beforehand: if I try and fail to break it, don't blame me in the end."

After saying that, it slowly floated to one of the walls and then began to tentatively touch the runes on the wall.

"—Whoa!!!"

However, as soon as the God-Slaying Stone came into contact with the array patterns, the array patterns suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out, directly blasting the God-Slaying Stone several meters away.

"Ouch!"

The God-Slaying Stone let out a strange cry, its round body shrinking back: "So powerful, this formation can actually counterattack..."

In order not to arouse suspicion from Shi Hao and the others, it changed its angle and probed several times after it finished barking.

But every time, it bounces away as soon as it makes contact.

The God-Slaying Stone pretended to struggle in front of the broken wall for a while, but in the end it could only float back to Shi Hao and said breathlessly, "No, no... This formation is too strange. I've tried everything but I can't figure it out. Brother Shi Hao, you can see for yourself, it's not that I didn't try, it's just that I'm not as skilled as you."

Shi Hao stared at the God-Slaying Stone and asked, "Are you sure you did your best?"

"Of course, I would never lie..."

The God-Slaying Stone was secretly pleased, but on the surface he still looked annoyed: "Brother Shi Hao, why don't we go back? The precious medicines here are good, but we can't risk our lives... We can hide from the outer formations, but the ones inside are even more dangerous..."

"—Slap!!!" Shi Hao raised his hand and slapped the God-Slaying Stone again, sending it tumbling several times in mid-air.

Why did you hit me again?

The stone cried out in grievance.

Shi Hao explained, "You just said you didn't have enough spiritual power and your mind wasn't working well, but you seem quite sharp to me, jumping around like a madman."

The God-Slaying Stone paused for a moment: "No, are you doubting that I'm lying to you? I really can't break it..."

Shi Hao ignored it and turned to look at the half-collapsed hall.

He was considering whether or not to force his way in.

"That's not how you use the God-Slaying Stone."

Just then, a clear female voice suddenly came from the nearby ruins.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a graceful figure slowly emerge from the shadows of the ruins. She was dressed in a black gauze dress, her figure slender, her face veiled except for a pair of bright eyes that held a sly smile, as if she had been observing everything from the shadows.

"It's you?"

Shi Hao recognized the woman in front of him at a glance.

This person is none other than the witch who stole their "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" divine power in the Tianyuan Secret Realm last time.

Lin Dong immediately became alert, clenching his fists and saying, "What are you doing here again? You stole our things last time, what are you trying to steal this time?"

The witch ignored him and walked straight up to Shi Hao, her gaze unconsciously falling on the God-Slaying Stone in his hand.

"It's a waste that this God-Slaying Stone has fallen into your hands. It could clearly break the formation here, but all you do is attack it."

Upon hearing this, the God-Slaying Stone panicked and hurriedly explained, "Who said that? I clearly can't break it. What do you, an amateur, know!"

However, the witch didn't even glance at it.

Qian Renxue looked at the witch warily and asked, "How did you get here?"

The witch turned to look at Qian Renxue: "I smelled the aroma of dragon meat outside and followed the scent here. I didn't expect to find you here."

Having said that, he took out an ancient-looking animal skin scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Hao.

"I have already comprehended the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, and I promised to return it to you. Now it is time to return it to its rightful owner."

Shi Hao took the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it. It was indeed the scroll containing the divine power, completely undamaged. He put the scroll into his cave and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you."

The witch waved her hand: "No need to thank me. I have comprehended the supernatural powers within, and this is what I owe you."

She glanced at the God-Slaying Stone, which was still pretending to be dead, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "However, what I just said was not a joke. You have indeed used the God-Slaying Stone incorrectly."

Shi Hao raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

"You can decide for yourself..."

The witch reached out and gently beckoned to the God-Slaying Stone.

The next second, the God-Slaying Stone seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flying directly from a distance and landing steadily in her palm.
