Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Insect Killer
In order to strengthen your body, become a swordsman with strong combat skills.
After leaving Yaofeng, Qi Jiayi gave up flying with a sword and ran back instead.
After deciding to do it, I found that the Black Iron Turtle is actually not slow and runs quite fast.
This was also the request of the Black Iron Turtle itself not to enter the ring, and it also did not allow the Snow Spirit Dog to enter the ring.
A man and two spirit beasts went to the Beast Taming Peak, and unexpectedly saw Shu Qianqian on the way.
"Am I dazzled? She has reached the second level of Qi training!"
The last time I saw Shu Qianqian was at Taoist Hongyang’s place, and it’s only been about ten days, but her cultivation has actually risen by two levels.
The Snow Spirit Dog disagreed: "What's the big deal? Xiaojiu and I are improving quickly."
"You are spirit beasts, which are different from cultivators." Before the Jindan stage, the speed at which spirit beasts' cultivation increases is more than ten times that of human cultivators.
"Go to the Cliff of Regret."
Shu Qianqian only took ten days to advance two levels of cultivation, so what about Su Chuwei?
The wind was fierce at the foot of the Cliff of Regret. It would be pure torture for Su Chuwei, who was only at the first level of Qi training, to go in. Fortunately, he had the physique of the ninth level of Qi training, so he could withstand it.
The Black Iron Turtle poked his head out and glanced at the Cliff of Regret: "This is a perfect place for training."
The snow dog's eyes twitched: "Uncle, don't compare your tortoise shell with my fur. They are different. I can't take a beating."
"Yueyao Sect actually didn't make good use of such a Feng Shui treasure land. What a waste."
The Snow Dog leaned over and whispered, "Can you change your occupational disease?"
Qi Jiayi ignored their muttering.
Shu Qianqian's cultivation level increased abnormally, while Su Chuwei did not make any movement at all.
"Fourth Junior Sister." Tang Jin came out from the bottom of the cliff and was a little surprised to see Qi Jiayi.
"Second Brother...Eldest Brother is here too."
Apart from Tang Jin, there was another person behind him.
Pei Hongmo raised his eyebrows. Ever since Qi Jiayi entered the Beast Taming Peak, her relationship with Su Chuwei has been bad. He didn't expect that she would still come to see him.
"I didn't expect that the first person to come to visit Third Junior Brother would be Fourth Junior Sister."
Pei Hongmo's words sounded strange.
Qi Jiayi didn't want to think about it, so he said bluntly: "I see that there is a lot of spiritual energy under the Cliff of Regret. Why hasn't Third Brother's cultivation improved at all? Shu Daoyou, who was brought back by the eldest brother, has reached the second level of Qi Refining. Why don't you give Shu Daoyou special treatment and ignore Third Brother?"
Tang Jin glanced at Pei Hongmo, who remained expressionless and said, "Fourth Junior Sister, you have wronged me. I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Shu for quite some time."
"Is that so? Then she is indeed very talented."
Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, her foot suddenly slipped and her whole body fell backwards, and behind her was the Cliff of Regret.
At the critical moment, Qi Jiayi reacted quickly, threw out the magic rope, wrapped it around the snow spirit dog's neck, and pulled himself back with force.
"Cough cough cough, let go, let go, I'm being strangled to death." The Snow Spirit Dog felt very uncomfortable.
Qi Jiayi took back the rope of the ritual instrument.
I only heard the Snow Spirit Dog complaining, "Why did you strangle me all of a sudden? Did I provoke you?"
The black iron turtle said leisurely: "She almost fell off the cliff of regret just now."
The Snow Dog scratched its neck with its claws: "Don't lie to me, how could I not see it."
Not only did it not notice it, Tang Jin and Pei Hongmo were right next to it, and they also did not react.
Qi Jiayi looked back at the bottom of the cliff, frowning, as if there was a force pushing her just now.
Pei Hongmo asked with concern: "What happened to Fourth Junior Sister?"
"Nothing. Senior Brother, Second Brother, I'm going back first."
All the way back to the hut, everything was normal.
The next day, when she was practicing with Yang Yuyang, the sword in Yang Yuyang's hand suddenly became sharp and stabbed towards her heart, and the tortoise shell shield and magic weapon shield were deployed at the same time.
Yang Yuyang sensed something was wrong and changed the direction of his sword, causing the tip of the sword to scratch the shield, which he threw away with a crackling sound.
He looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes full of shock: "Junior Sister Qi, are you okay? Sorry, I may have thought that I was sparring with a disciple from Jianfeng, so I was too heavy-handed."
Qi Jiayi shook his head: "It's okay."
"Let's stop here for today." Yang Yuyang always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment, so he simply stopped practicing.
"good."
After coming out of Jianfeng, Qi Jiayi's face sank. If what happened yesterday was an accident, then what happened just now was definitely not an accident.
But this had never happened before, and she didn't know what was going on.
After thinking about it, I decided to ask a professional about this matter.
Qi Jiayi: [Senior Sister, something strange happened to me. ]
Qi Jiayi: [I am really unlucky. ]
The bad luck in the past might be due to the incident, and she did not feel that she was very unlucky.
But these two times, it actually happened to her.
However, there was no response from Xunli, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Qi Jiayi thought about it and couldn't figure out the reason.
When I returned to the hut to get the animal food, I found that all the food I had prepared for the sect had been eaten.
Fortunately, there are people selling animal food in the sect.
"Choose what you want to eat." Qi Jiayi looked around and saw that the ones she bought at home were not available, so she let the Snow Spirit Dog and the Black Iron Turtle choose for themselves.
"You have no spirit stones?"
"have."
"Then why did you withhold our food?" The Snow Spirit Dog looked at me as if I were a fool.
"There's nothing here like the one I brought before."
"Then I don't care. My uncle and I will eat the same ones as before. We don't want these."
The animal food I ate before was so rich in spiritual energy that it couldn't be compared to this garbage.
If he just wanted to fill his stomach, he would have competed with Qi Jiayi for food. Does he care about animal food? It's clearly the abundant spiritual energy inside.
Qi Jiayi naturally knew that the animal food she had brought before was good. It was made entirely of monster meat and spiritual plants and fruits, not leftovers.
She had secretly tasted it in her previous life before she raised a dragon, and it tasted quite good.
The dog was picky with his mouth, and although the black iron turtle didn't say anything, it was obviously more picky.
As a last resort, Qi Jiayi had to take the two spirit beasts down the mountain the next day and go to the town to see if there was any high-level animal food.
Just after leaving the sect and going down the mountain, I came to a place with few people.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt like someone was staring at her.
Qi Jiayi looked around vigilantly: "Did you hear any noise? I feel something strange."
The Snow Dog said heartlessly: "Nothing happened. It was very quiet. There was only the sound of the wind..."
As he spoke, the Snow Dog suddenly stopped and sniffed: "I seem to smell a familiar smell, very similar to the one I smelled in Chuanqiong Village."
The man and the beast turned their heads, but because of their height difference, they didn't look at each other.
But at the same time he said: "Bugs!"
The Snow Dog immediately began to stamp his feet: "Shoes, shoes, help me find two pairs of shoes."
Qi Jiayi glanced at its current paws, and found that it could no longer fit into its previous boots.
When the Snow Spirit Dog jumped onto the shell of the Black Iron Turtle, Qi Jiayi quickly moved away, and was not allowed to step on Xiaojiu's shoulders when he jumped onto her back.
With Gouzi's current size, if he jumped over he would definitely cover her completely.
And she didn't want to be stepped on the shoulder by a dog again.
After the Black Iron Turtle established its foundation, its size also grew, but it was different from the exaggerated multiple growth of the Snow Spirit Dog.
Even if you step on it, it's still not enough for it to stand.
The black iron turtle gnashed its teeth in anger and said, "Get out of here."
The Snow Spirit Dog was busy trying to steady itself with its feet, and paid no attention to the Black Iron Turtle.
The next moment, the whole dog flew out.
It turned out that the Black Iron Turtle opened its tortoise shell shield and bounced it away.
At the same time, the shield disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
"Ahhhh, this thing is so soft and hard at the same time. It's so disgusting. I can't keep my foot anymore."
A strange cry was heard, and Qi Jiayi looked towards the place where the Snow Spirit Dog landed, only to see a thing with many brown legs, as if it had been stepped on, with its body arched upwards and squirming.
In my ears I could hear the howling of the Snow Dog.
Qi Jiayi stretched out the magic rope in his hand, wrapped it around the snow spirit dog and pulled it back.
A sinister voice sounded: "It was discovered so quickly."
Just at the place where the Snow Dog had just landed, a monster with a human head and a worm body crawled up in a strange posture.
When Qi Jiayi saw that face, she gasped. It was the insect man from the back mountain of Chuanqiong Village who attempted to attack her.
The Snow Dog took a look, turned around and vomited: "Ugh, I just stepped on something."
Qi Jiayi took out the sword from his ring and asked cautiously, "Why are you here?"
Senior sister said that the people in the sect were unable to draw out the poisonous insects from Shu Qianqian and Su Chuwei's bodies, so she went to help.
After that, she went into seclusion and no one knows what happened next.
But at this time the insect man actually appeared here and ambushed her.
He harmed the villagers of Chuanqiong Village and the disciples of Yueyao Sect. There is no way the sect would let him go. Could it be that they didn't lock him up?
Qi Jiayi put his hands behind his back and held the token. This disgusting thing ran away and the sect didn’t come to catch it quickly.
"Why am I here? Of course I'm here to kill you." The insect man slowly stood up, as if he could see through her behavior, and said, "Don't waste your energy. I won't let you call for help this time."
His body is half human and half insect. The upper body is that of a normal human, with a head and hands, but the waist area has become a centipede body with countless densely packed legs still wriggling.
When he stood up, he was taller than the snow dog. He looked down at Qi Jiayi, making her look extremely small.
Qi Jiayi found that the message could not be sent.
"It seems that I am lucky. I caught you in just a few days." As he said that, the insect man's eyes suddenly changed, and he rushed towards Qi Jiayi: "I have been planning for so long, but you have ruined it all. I will crush you to pieces and sacrifice you to my treasure."
The insect man's diving action brought great oppression, but Qi Jiayi did not dodge. Instead, he clenched the sword in his hand and stabbed forward.
The insect man dodged her sword very quickly and flexibly, and changed direction with a flip of his head. Due to his long body, he was fast and smooth.
Qi Jiayi's sword fell on the shell below his back.
The tip of the sword collided with the reddish-brown shell, making a crackling sound and creating sparks.
However, the shell was so hard that not a single scratch was left.
The next moment, the sinister face of the insect man came around from behind to the side of Qi Jiayi, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth in a cunning and weird smile.
Seeing that he was trying to wrap his body around Qi Jiayi, the tortoise shell shield opened up and blocked him back.
The next moment, the tortoise shell shield disappeared again, just like it had repelled the snow spirit dog before.
Qi Jiayi raised the sword, stepped on the insect man's still wriggling body, and headed for his head.
Although the insect man was long, he was very flexible. In addition, his reddish-brown shell was very hard, so he was not afraid.
However, this made Qi Jiayi feel that his upper body was his weak point.
The Snow Dog leaned against the Black Iron Turtle and said, "Uncle, didn't you say that the shield could last for thirty minutes? Why did it break in one second?"
"She wants to fight." Black Iron Turtle said concisely.
Snow Dog looked at Qi Jiayi's swordsmanship and shook his head: "She really has no talent for swordsmanship."
"Much better than when you were a kid."
The snow dog looked dissatisfied, but my aunt kept praising him for his talent.
On the other side, Qi Jiayi was still fighting vigorously.
When practicing with Yang Yuyang, he always gives in. Qi Jiayi knows that he is not very talented and always feels that his reactions are not fast enough.
She had this feeling when watching other sword practitioners practicing. Every move they made seemed very smooth.
They were using swords, not practicing swordplay like she was.
At this moment, she felt that she had reached her limit in dealing with the insect people.
Every time I raised the sword to block, chop, and split... it was completely out of instinct, but I felt more and more that I was using the sword slowly and not well enough.
Seeing her weakness, the insect man smiled more sinisterly: "Let's see how long you can hold on."
The sword in Qi Jiayi's hand flashed with cold light: "Does using your true body make you so arrogant? Half insect, half human monster, you are so ugly to me."
The insect man said fiercely: "Shut up, I am a Gu magician."
"Oh, Bug Man."
With just two sentences, the insect man's defense was broken again.
He became more and more ruthless.
Qi Jiayi was concentrating on dealing with the insect man, but she didn't notice that his centipede tail suddenly turned into a foot and kicked Qi Jiayi from behind, kicking her out.
This scene happened so fast that neither the Black Iron Turtle nor the Snow Spirit Dog could react.
The insect people knew that the Black Iron Turtle had a shield, and intended to separate Qi Jiayi from them.
When she landed, she felt a weight on the back of her hand and felt pain.
The insect man stepped on the back of her hand and crushed it to the ground.
Qi Jiayi endured the pain and held the sword tightly. Senior Brother Yang said that a swordsman will never let go of the sword unless he dies.
Qi Jiayi tried to get up, but her head felt heavy. The insect man pressed his hand on her head, pinning her to the ground so that she could not move.
The long centipede body on his body disappeared, and he transformed into a person of normal height.
"You don't think that my upper body is a flaw?" The insect man laughed proudly.
He half-knelt, stepped on Qi Jiayi's sword-holding hand, and held her head with his hand: "Is it strange that the magic weapon can't be used? Don't worry, no one can save you today, hahahaha..."
The insect man laughed, opened his mouth, and a long thin tongue came out of his mouth and went towards Qi Jiayi's head.
The Snow Spirit Dog and the Black Iron Turtle rushed over, but crashed into a transparent shield.
In Chuanqiong Village, the insect people were dealt with so easily that they became careless.
What’s strange is that none of Qi Jiayi’s magical shields were activated.
At this moment, she was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Seeing the wriggling straw-like tongue heading towards Qi Jiayi's forehead, the two spirit beasts became extremely anxious.
The Black Iron Turtle used its shield to squeeze the insect man's unknown shield.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh, not loud but clear enough.
I saw that the end of the sword was forked into a fishhook-like barb, which pierced the insect man's □□.
Insect Man: “…”
Qi Jiayi returned the weight of the borrowed black iron turtle, and her body became much lighter. With her other hand, she grabbed the mud on the ground and threw it on the insect man's face. While the insect man closed his eyes, she pulled the sword back with force.
The sword that pierced the insect man's mouth hooked his flesh, and with a swish sound, blood soaked his pants and a bloody smell wafted out.
The Snow Dog suddenly put its hind legs together: "Could this be how Chi Chen used the monkey stealing peaches?"
Thinking back to when Chi Chen used other swords, he had a very dirty and sinister feeling. It turned out that it was not an illusion, it was really dirty.
Then it was not unfair for him to be beaten.
Qi Jiayi exerted all his strength, restored the sword to its original shape, and stabbed it straight into the insect man's left eye.
He wanted to turn it into a fishhook again, but he touched two buttons by mistake. There was a buzzing sound, and the tip of the sword suddenly started spinning.
Blood mixed with brain matter spurted out of his eyes.
One careless move and blood splattered all over her.
The strange tongue that the insect man stuck out trembled, then drooped down and remained motionless.
As the insect man died, the shield disappeared, and the Black Iron Turtle and the Snow Spirit Dog rushed over.
Looking at the mess on the ground, the man and two spirit beasts fell silent.
The Snow Spirit Dog opened his mouth and said, "This sword is really worth buying."
After sighing, he suggested: "I feel that there are still many uses of those swords that are worth developing. Don't put them all in the ring. It would be a big loss if the ring is lost."
Qi Jiayi looked at the death of the insect man, then looked at the sword in his hand, drew out the sword, and performed several cleansing spells.
Because of the death of the insect man, this isolated place was able to see the sky.
Tang Jin happened to pass by and noticed that there had been a fight and the smell of blood in the place, so he went down to check.
"...Fourth Junior Sister?"
Qi Jiayi looked back. The blood on her face and body had not been cleaned off. She looked creepy and scary.
"Second Brother, help me."
Tang Jin: "??? Whose life are you saving?"
The Snow Spirit Dog coughed twice and said, "Wash yourself first. Your second brother now thinks you are a murderer."
I was so busy washing the sword just now that I forgot about myself.
After washing the blood off her body, Qi Jiayi looked up and wondered why Tang Jin appeared so coincidentally: "Where are you going, Second Senior Brother?"
"Go down the mountain and sell some materials."
The Snow Dog acted as an interpreter: "He went to sell the scorpion armor scales that had fallen off."
The scorpion beast Qi Jiayi knew that it was Tang Jin’s contracted beast.
Their eyes met, and the air was still filled with the smell of blood.
Tang Jin looked at the strange dead man and asked, "Who is this person?"
After saying this, he frowned slightly.
Suddenly, Tang Jin flew forward, pulled Qi Jiayi away, and punched the insect man on the head. Where the punch was made, a worm that had just emerged was flattened along with the insect man's head.
"Bugs? I remember that the sect caught an evil cultivator before, who controlled bugs." Tang Jin's expression was solemn. The sect also specifically warned the disciples that they must be more careful when going out on missions in the future, so as not to fall into the trap of these evil cultivators.
"It's him, he ran out." Seeing him say this, Qi Jiayi said casually.
The Snow Spirit Dog looked at Tang Jin's iron fist, then looked at its flattened head.
"You are worthy of being brothers and sisters."
When he read the book, the fighting scenes were obviously quite normal and not so bloody.
Could it be that the book he was reading was a fake?
Ever since meeting Qi Jiayi, the course of events has nothing to do with the plot in the book.
Seeing Tang Jin take out the token, Qi Jiayi asked, "Second Senior Brother, are you going to report it to the sect?"
"Yes, the evil cultivator actually escaped. This is no small matter. We must report it to the sect and let them investigate what happened."
"Brother, do you think someone might have let him out on purpose?"
Tang Jin paused while holding the token. "You mean, someone in the sect is colluding with the evil cultivators?"
Tang Jin put the token away. If this evil cultivator was released intentionally by someone, then there must be accomplices of this evil cultivator in the sect.
"Since he was released, why didn't he escape, but instead?" Although Tang Jin was simple-minded, he was not stupid and he quickly noticed something strange.
Qi Jiayi did not hide it: "He was causing chaos in Chuanqiong Village. I helped to destroy his lair and arrest him. He hates me."
"Brother, don't report this to the sect first. Investigate it privately."
Tang Jin glanced at the insect man's corpse and nodded: "You're right. I'll find a place to bury this thing."
"Burn it. This evil cultivator is different from ordinary people. Don't leave his body intact."
"Um."
Then, the two looked at each other.
It was Tang Jin who took out a fire starter from his ring to make a fire.
Qi Jiayi offers the fire talisman.
The Snow Spirit Dog couldn't bear to watch any longer: "You two are monks after all. Do you need to be so primitive when casting a spell?"
Qi Jiayi spread her hands. Tang Jin had dual spiritual roots of earth and wood, while she had dual spiritual roots of water and earth.
There were two monks and two spirit beasts, but neither of them could use fire.
Qi Jiayi: "This fire is a little weak."
The firelight illuminated Tang Jin's face. He nodded seriously and agreed, "It would be nice if there was a cultivator with fire spirit roots here."
The fire took a full hour to burn down to ashes, and Qi Jiayi watched the whole process.
In the end, she scattered the ashes, determined to not give the insect man a chance to survive.
Tang Jin was originally going back to the sect, so the two said goodbye.
The Snow Spirit Dog looked at Tang Jin's figure as he walked away: "You don't seem to believe him?"
"Why should I believe him? His appearance was just a coincidence. Maybe he was the one maintaining the protective formation outside to prevent me from spreading the news and saving myself."
The Snow Spirit Dog disagreed with her words: "It was an accidental encounter to listen to his inner voice."
"If cause and effect can be faked, how can we not control the thoughts in our hearts?" Qi Jiayi packed up and continued to go down the mountain.
Besides, it can’t hear the senior sister’s inner voice, but it’s not difficult to mishear her inner voice.
Currently, only Tang Jin knows the news that the insect man was killed. No matter whether he was the one who let the insect man go or not, we will find out after trying.
After Qi Jiayi left, a figure appeared in the open space where the battle had taken place.
He picked up something from the lush grass, looked at it, and put it into the ring.
When he left, he glanced at the burned area and cursed inwardly, "Waste."
