Chapter 126: Good deeds have their own way, evil deeds have their own way (1)
Luo Xuanyi had kept Hao Fei because she was attracted by his formation. During their fight, she discovered that the poisonous spiritual energy that her body was good at was useless against ghost cultivators. And if she wanted to sever the soul of a cultivator and induce evil thoughts like she slashed through the soul of an ordinary person, she had to break through the cultivator's protective spiritual power first.
However, the formation can make up for her shortcomings.
However, her current methods were more than enough to deal with human cultivators. Luo Xuanyi looked in the direction where Hao Fei had fallen, confirming that he was still breathing. Hiding her figure, she secretly contacted, "Can you still control the formation and secretly compress the space to Shang Qian's side?"
Hao Fei was stunned. He'd been cut down by Shang Qian's sword, his form nearly vanishing. Now that Luo Xuanyi had arrived, he'd confirmed he was hiding in the shadows and not attacking. Even stranger was the fact that Shang Qian could sense his evil aura, but couldn't detect the cloaked Luo Xuanyi. Wasn't that demon actually evil? What a joke!
Thinking about how he had been working overtime these days to modify the Seven-String Blood Bell according to Luo Xuanyi's orders, and thus accidentally neglected the defense of the formation, allowing Shang Qian to accidentally discover the secret, he wanted to curse to the sky and the earth to vent his anger.
However, Hao Fei was unable to resist Luo Xuanyi at the moment, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out the formation plate. While dodging the Four Meridians Sword Intent wielded by Shang Qian, he quickly replied through voice transmission: "Yes! But it can only trap her for a short time!"
That formation was created by a powerful space-time master. Those trapped within it were unable to break free, but its drawbacks were that it took centuries to refine without a space-time master, and it only held a person captive for three breaths, preventing outsiders from doing anything. Honestly, if Hao Fei hadn't spent thousands of years trapped within that cultivator's formation with nothing else to do, he wouldn't have learned such a useless formation.
The swift and swift swords surged forth like waves, intermittently striking. Hao Fei barely managed to keep pace, being forced to tumble upon the ground. Shang Qian stood at a distance, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, gathering strength for the next strike.
"Ah!" The wounds inflicted by the sword intent on Hao Fei's body could no longer absorb the deadly evil thoughts to replenish them. Fortunately, none of the attacks hit his core. If his life wasn't in Luo Xuanyi's hands, he would have dragged her out to protect him from the damage!
Just as he gritted his teeth and imagined himself watching Luo Xuanyi being beaten utterly and fleeing on the ground like himself, he heard Luo Xuanyi say calmly, "Wait for me to give you the order, then you will trap Shang Qian."
Luo Xuanyi flung the Demonic Killing Blade toward Hao Fei, but she didn't advance, instead hiding at the edge of the formation. She first cast a layer of untriggered Life-Stealing Evil onto her body, calculated the timing, and commanded her body to release its cloaking state, then fled towards Shang Qian on the bamboo slip.
When Shang Qian saw someone approaching, he subconsciously wanted to strike with his sword, but the Heavenly Sword "Yijie" in his hand did not judge Luo Xuanyi.
This is Luo Xuanyi herself, not the figure created by the evil demon.
Shang Qian subconsciously relaxed his killing intent: "Fellow Daoist Xuanyi? How did you get in?"
Luo Xuanyi's face was filled with surprise, as if she didn't know what was going on. She opened her mouth to speak. Shang Qian's attention was drawn to her, but she just brushed past him and left. He couldn't help but feel puzzled, and suddenly felt a pain in his body!
"Xuan Yi... Fellow Daoist? What is this..."
It was not a knife wound, nor was it an attack from magical powers, and it didn't even contain any murderous intent towards Shang Qian, otherwise the Tianjian world would have reacted.
There were no wounds, but pain instantly flowed into his veins, and layers of unknown toxins instantly formed in his body. Although Shang Qian didn't know what was happening, he immediately tried to forcibly block the flow of the poison with his spiritual power. However, he was shocked to find that all the spiritual power he came into contact with was instantly corroded and transformed into poison!
This was Luo Xuanyi's poisonous spiritual energy, the energy of all things that she generated within her body. As long as Luo Xuanyi didn't control it, it would involuntarily merge with the air into the spiritual energy of the King of All Poisons.
Who says battles have to be fought fairly?
The blow poisoned Shang Qian, making it difficult for him to circulate his spiritual energy. As the pain interrupted his thoughts, Hao Fei had already activated the Demonic Blade Killing Dao. He stepped on the ground, turning it into sand, and slashed straight at Shang Qian! The Killing Dao excitedly emitted a red light, and a buzzing sound shook the world. The blood of the demon dripped from the blade light, ready to cut Shang Qian off!
Tianjian Yijie let out a mournful cry, and in order to protect his master, he forcibly broke free from Shang Qian's hands and collided with the killing path!
“Zheng——”
The sky and the earth changed, and there was a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. Three sky swords hung high in the sky, replacing the sun, trying to look down from the sky, but they were shattered by the red light that came from the ground!
The phantom of the ancient battlefield was a re-enactment of the world-destroying war between Daowang Sect and the predecessors of the six major alliances.
Although the Heavenly Sword was intact, its master was weak. How could he withstand the killing power in Hao Fei's hands? Hao Fei fiercely swung his sword and slashed six times, each time hitting a spot on the Heavenly Sword's body. Killing intent gradually took over the pure white blade, ready to twist the Heavenly Sword's will!
"How could I, how could I let a devilish cultivator like you succeed!!"
To stay conscious, Shang Qian pierced his abdomen with his bare hands! Blood flowed out, and the life of all things was temporarily delayed. His eyes had been transformed into pus and flowed out of his eye sockets by the life of all things, but his will never gave in. He shouted loudly and reached out to grasp the Heavenly Sword!
So why do they always have to reveal their intentions?
Luo Xuanyi, who had been waiting by the side, pulled out the ink-splashed jade bamboo flag, and the head of the flag pierced Shang Qian's body directly along his own wound!
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Under the mysterious guidance of the Life-Stealing Evil, Shang Qian's spiritual protection, which he had broken through himself, was completely useless. The Ink-Splashed Jade Bamboo Flag greedily sucked Shang Qian's blood. It was obvious that Shang Qian was about to be drained to death. The Heavenly Sword Realm immediately turned around to save him!
Right now.
"Hao Fei!" Luo Xuanyi called out softly. Hao Fei, already prepared, cut his blood and activated the formation, instantly enveloping Shang Qian, who still had some energy left. The Heavenly Sword, instantly disconnected, was abruptly cut off from its trajectory towards Luo Xuanyi. As her spiritual energy was being gathered, Luo Xuanyi unfurled the Ink-Splashed Jade Bamboo Banner, slicing Shang Qian's entire spiritual energy towards the Heavenly Sword's midsection!
“Snap!”
The Heavenly Sword was weakened, unable to withstand its master's blow. With a cracking sound, a fissure suddenly appeared within the heavens and earth. Hao Fei seized the opportunity to pursue the enemy, raising his Demonic Blade and slashing at them. Red light splattered, and the Heavenly Sword's hilt was shattered into dust!
The thunder in the sky exploded sadly, as if expressing regret, but no lightning struck.
"Ahem!" After just three breaths, Shang Qian fell to the ground. Luo Xuanyi had drained nearly all of his blood, along with the life force of all things. Once the life force was removed, Shang Qian, still a cultivator, still had a breath left.
Luo Xuanyi gave Shang Qian the healing wine. After the wine temporarily saved Shang Qian's life, she severed the tendons in Shang Qian's hands and feet, as well as his eight extraordinary meridians, to ensure that Shang Qian would become a disabled person. Then she grabbed Shang Qian's hair and carried him away until he fainted from the pain.
Hao Fei watched her smooth movements and was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what Luo Xuanyi was going to do.
But he knew one thing: what Luo Xuanyi was displaying before him was completely different from her previous battles with him. Her methods were numerous and unfathomable. He couldn't help but feel even more terrified.
"?" Luo Xuanyi glanced at Hao Fei, who was lost in thought. "Why are you still standing there? Find a place to interrogate him first. We still have things to do later."
"Oh, yes." Hao Fei thought about his troubled cave and scratched his head. "Wait until I rearrange the entrance to the formation to prevent anyone from breaking in again."
Seeing Hao Fei making seals with his hands and the surrounding environment coming near the cave again, Luo Xuanyi ignored Hao Fei's movements and found a place in the ruins to leave Shang Qian behind. She began to take out the glass mirror and some small bits and pieces.
Hao Fei couldn't help but feel a little curious: "You said torture, how do we do it?"
Luo Xuanyi fiddled with the short-handled dagger in her hand, which she didn't know was used by that unlucky guy, and said casually, "I've seen some of them before, but it's very simple with the help of the glass mirror."
"Anyway, there are only a few questions." (End of this chapter)
