Chapter 235 Dao Fire (Two in One)
After trapping Cui Xiu, Gu Fangchen waved his hand and moved Yi'er outside to avoid being affected.
When the innate true fire of "Yamala King" spread out, it directly blew up the entire house, but Yi'er's position was precisely controlled outside the affected range.
This is the confidence of high-end players.
Even after being controlled by the "Dragon Trapping Formation", Cui Xiu was very clear about the wide range of impact his self-explosion would have.
This is all about practice.
Although he was in front of a computer screen before, with his current level of cultivation, he was able to overlap the two and find the exact location in just a moment.
Cui Xiu used self-destruction as a pretext to escape his soul, so he naturally chose the direction that was easiest to break through.
It is naturally impossible to go to the direction guarded by Prajna Lianyue and Gu Fangchen. The only place left is where Yier is.
How could a mortal girl sense his soul?
Not to mention blocking it.
But Cui Xiu never expected that he was still rejoicing about his escape the previous second, and the next second, he was caught by the mortal girl in his eyes.
Yier stood in front of the blood-red fire, holding a tiny flickering flame in her hand.
In fact, it was Cui Xiu's soul that was struggling hard, but then he was horrified to find that no matter how he struggled, the tender little white hand did not move at all.
"T-How is this possible?!"
Cui Xiu is a soul cultivator, a third-grade soul. Even if it is just a remnant of the soul that escapes, it should not be easily captured by a mortal.
What's more, how could the other party discover a trace of his own soul in this endless sea of fire?
And the next moment, Cui Xiu's question was answered.
Yier lowered her head and looked at the flame in her hand, smiling, but the words she said almost scared Cui Xiu to death!
The tone was clearly not at all like that of the "Four Phases Lord of Tribulation", but in Cui Xiu's heart arose the same fear that penetrated his bones when he first witnessed the "Four Phases Lord of Tribulation" taking action!
That was ten years ago.
The whereabouts of the "Four-phase Robbery Lord" are unpredictable. He often disappears for a period of time and leaves all matters related to the "destruction" of Taoism to Cui Xiu and other believers.
Cui Xiu and the first group of believers were all directly conquered by the "Four-phase Tribulation Lord". It was because they witnessed the power of the way of "Nirvana" and were shocked by it incomparably that they were willing to follow the "Four-phase Tribulation Lord" and pursue the ultimate "Nirvana".
However, because he was reliable and law-abiding in his work, in the following ten years, coupled with his obsession with power and with the "Shaped Grass Sword" as his vanguard, after reaching the third level, he no longer had much contact with the Demon Cult's direct actions.
Even the memory has gradually become blurred.
He even forgot about that fear. After discovering that the "Four-phase Tribulation Lord" showed signs of weakness, he was driven by desire and wanted to kill him in one fell swoop and replace him.
At this moment, Yier asked him if he looked like the real "Four-phase Lord of Disaster".
Cui Xiu was heartbroken.
This is not like, this is it!
The aura and temperament exuded by the girl in front of him were creepy.
Ten years later, that unforgettable fear once again struck his heart, making his originally burning soul feel as if it had stepped into an ice cellar and had a basin of cold water poured over its head.
A terrible chill spread throughout his body, and he forgot even to struggle, let alone escape.
The first time he met the "Four-phase Robber Lord" was at night by the Donglong Lake. He had just completed his revenge and had not yet been promoted to the third rank. His heart was filled with cruelty and confusion. When he walked to the village by the lake, he almost went crazy and started slaughtering mortals near Jiange.
It was then that I met the "Four-phase Robber Lord" for the first time.
The black robe and mysterious cultivation level remained the same for the past ten years. With just one move, he pinned him to the ground, unable to move. Even the spiritual power in his body subsided in an instant, as if it did not exist at all.
After that conversation, he followed his heart and followed the "Four Phases Lord".
It was exactly the same as what he saw and felt now.
In the past ten years, he almost never felt the same feeling from the "Four Phases Tribulation Lord". Although the "Four Phases Tribulation Lord"'s cultivation was still terrifying, it was precisely this difference that made him rebel and dare to attack the "Four Phases Tribulation Lord".
Now, he felt it again.
But it was not from the familiar "Four-phase Robber Lord" in a black robe, but from the little girl in front of him who looked gentle and a little playful!
This was the "Four-phase Robbery Master" whom he first met by the Donglong Lake!
"you……"
Cui Xiu was horrified. If he were still alive, he would probably lose control of his bladder and beg for mercy on the spot.
But he only uttered one word.
The girl closed her white and tender palms and gently pinched them, extinguishing the flame.
"laugh--"
Only a faint sound of extinction was left behind, and a third-grade strong man quietly disappeared between heaven and earth.
Yi'er shook her head and curled her lips:
"He's unfaithful and unrighteous. If I had known this, I wouldn't have saved him. It's really boring."
She shook her hands, and a lot of light ashes flew out from the extinguished flames.
Disappointment appeared in Yier's eyes. The flame that she had seen at the beginning was born purely for destruction, but after just ten years, it had become contaminated by many impurities.
These impurities occupied his mind, making the flame dimmer and no longer as bright as before.
"Humans are always so boring. No matter how bright and beautiful a flame is, it will eventually go out."
The girl looked up and saw a bird with its wings burned, startled and flying into the sky, flying higher and higher.
Across the dock, across the sea, across the vast land and sky.
She looked down at the whole world through the eyes of a bird, and saw raging fires everywhere, constantly burning everything.
Countless people held up the raging fire and used themselves as fuel to keep the flames burning.
The flames are bright, but the world is about to be burned through with a big hole.
The day when the firewood disappears, the flames will begin to use everything as fuel and devour the entire world.
The brightest flame has already ignited in the distance.
The last dragon vein has been found, and countless Confucian disciples are rushing towards the location of the dragon vein to hunt down the dead dragon.
Once the hunt is successful, they will skin and drain the dragon's tendons, and use the fat that flows out of it to ignite a more intense fire.
The man holding the flame, riding on a spirit deer, looks righteous and is about to light up the sky under the crazy longing of countless people.
A hint of expectation appeared in Yier's eyes again, and she turned her gaze to the young man on the other side of the sea of fire.
Only this young man is special.
His body was spotless, without even a speck of spark.
What would you do to stop the Dao Fire from burning?
…
Gu Fangchen had already prepared to sense the escaping soul.
How could a person like Cui Xiu, who has infinite greed in his heart, decisively self-destruct?
For a third-grade spiritual cultivator, if there is no external force, the soul has almost reached the level of immortality. Even if it is separated from the physical body, it can still exist freely between heaven and earth, and only needs spiritual energy to nourish it.
This Cui Xiu must be using self-destruction as a cover to escape and take over another body.
But Gu Fangchen changed his mind and scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense using the marks made by the "Dragon Trapping Formation", but he found no trace of Cui Xiu's soul.
"Huh?"
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.
Did Cui Xiu fail to control the strength well and end up blowing himself up in the explosion?
In such a short while, even if he escaped, he couldn't escape from the dock.
Ninety-nine percent of them have completely disappeared.
Prajna Lianyue came over to meet him at this time. Seeing him stroking his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, he was stunned for a moment and asked:
"What's wrong? Didn't everything go as planned?"
Prajna Lianyue had also personally experienced Gu Fangchen's ability to foresee the future, and it was as if all his actions were predicted by the other party. Now she had also witnessed it once, and still felt the mystery and terror of her father.
Cui Xiu, the "Yamala King", as the second in command of the "Mie" sect, is also a well-known master and is extremely difficult to deal with.
"Xingcao Jian" wins because of his purity, and also loses because of his purity.
Because of his extremely pure pursuit of the way of "destruction", he achieved a great reputation of being undefeated in just a few years.
But because of his extreme purity, he can only be used as a knife by others.
The reason why Prajna Lianyue was able to kill him directly was, firstly, because he was caught off guard and was attacked by surprise, and secondly, because this person had no brains at all and fell directly into her artistic conception and illusion without even a hint of advance preparation.
A scheming person like Cui Xiu must have set up many traps in his territory to prevent himself from being killed.
External force is also the key to fighting.
Before Prajna Lianyue came, she was worried that Gu Fangchen's plan might be a bit too aggressive, and she was already prepared to kill Cui Xiu.
But unexpectedly, everything developed exactly as Gu Fangchen had expected.
It was just a clumsy flaw. Cui Xiu, who had been loyal for the past ten years, actually chose to attack the "Four Phase Robbery Master" directly.
He was so anxious that he didn't seem like the guy who had been in charge of the Cao Gang for such a long time.
As for the "Dragon Trapping Formation", Prajna Lianyue was not too surprised.
Gu Fangchen's attainment in formation is estimated to have reached the first level, although in this era, there are no first-level formation practitioners anymore.
But Prajna Lianyue believed that even if there was a first-grade formation in front of Gu Fangchen, he could still easily break it.
Gu Fangchen pondered and said:
"Cui Xiu must have escaped by splitting off a portion of his soul, but I can't find it now."
Prajna Lianyue also checked the docks and shook her head.
"I can't sense it either."
If even Prajna Lianyue can't sense it, then the person is truly dead.
Gu Fangchen shook his head and smacked his lips:
"Never mind. He probably got too anxious and didn't control the intensity of his self-destruction well. There's always a slight discrepancy between strategy and actual progress. It's no big deal."
When players reach this point, most of their cultivation progress probably won’t reach his level.
It's normal for Cui Xiu to have some accidents.
As long as I die, that's enough.
Gu Fangchen crossed the sea of fire and found Yi'er who was waiting for him there, and touched her head.
He took out another black robe and asked Yier to put it on. She had to continue playing the role of "Four-phase Robber Lord".
"With Cui Xiu's death, no one can doubt your identity."
Gu Fangchen smiled.
Then, the alarmed "Mie" Taoist followers began to gather around.
In their opinion, such a big commotion was actually normal, so they did not react at first, or most of them were just waiting and watching.
Anyway, the person who makes the decision is Cui Xiu, and the people who carry out the orders are his confidants.
Others just pretend not to know.
No matter who wins, they are still "destroyed" people. It is impossible to clean them all out tomorrow. Then there will still be people working at the Cao Gang Wharf...
If the one tonight is the real "Four-phase Robber Lord", then Cui Xiu is courting death.
Even if he is a fake "Four-phase Tribulation Lord", he can still kill "Yamala King". His strength is at least of the second rank.
Who dares to question?
If you dare to say she is fake, you will be the first one to die.
That's why they happen to be "late".
And now, the first person to arrive saw Yi'er in a black robe standing in front of the blazing fire.
And that raging fire was clearly Cui Xiu's true fire.
Now, the situation became clear in an instant.
This Cui Xiu really sought his own death and brought about his own death.
"Master! I am late in protecting you. Please forgive me!"
The man immediately shouted, then slid to his knees and prostrated himself before Yier.
Among the followers of the "Mie" Taoism at the Caobang Wharf, there are actually not many people who purely follow the "Mie" Taoism.
After all, Cui Xiu has been in charge for the past ten years, so he must keep people who are beneficial to him.
Those who only know how to fight and kill can just be thugs and don't have to reach high positions.
Therefore, these senior executives now are all flatterers and opportunists. They have no loyalty at all and are only concerned about interests.
Seeing Yi'er's victory, he immediately surrendered.
He also tied up the confidant who worked for Cui Xiu and asked the robber to decide his fate.
The second person who came over was no pushover either. He immediately listed all of Cui Xiu's crimes over the years, including corruption and embezzlement.
You can tell at a glance that he has been collecting for a long time...
It is true that things follow their owners.
Cui Xiu had rebellious intentions, and his subordinates followed suit.
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows and acted as if he had suddenly realized something:
"I see. No wonder Cui Xiu is so bold. It turns out he's been harboring evil intentions for a long time."
He clicked his tongue twice, helped the two of them up, and said:
"If that's the case, you were also deceived and oppressed by him. How could the robbery master blame you? Everyone, stand up. From now on, you will take Cui Xiu's place."
Although the two men didn't know who Gu Fangchen was, the fact that the robbery master didn't say anything clearly indicated their agreement, and they immediately expressed their gratitude in unison.
