Chapter 244 Battle with the Fourth Rank
"!!!"
Li Qi's stab was extremely fast, and even though Wan Ping was a fourth-grade warrior, he was unable to react for a moment.
Fortunately, the gap between Wan Ping and Li Qi's cultivation was too big. With his cultivation strength far exceeding Li Qi's, he still twisted his body at the last moment and dodged the dagger stabbed by Li Qi! After dodging, Wan Ping instantly distanced himself from Li Qi, and at the same time, he waved his right hand, and a stream of internal force with purple mist hit out.
The purple mist seemed to have life as it coiled towards Li Qi, and Li Qi changed his previous appearance a lot. He lay on the ground to avoid the attack of the mist, and then gently turned his hands over, and put the ten rings connected by a thread on his hands.
Then he moved his fingers rhythmically, and countless silk threads formed a net that fell on the head of the Demon Sect disciple!
All of the above happened in less than two breaths.
Two breaths ago, one of the two men was sure of victory, while the other was lying on the ground waiting to die.
Two breaths later, the two of them started fighting vigorously! "You are not poisoned!?"
While dodging Li Qi's silk thread attack, Wan Ping asked Li Qi in surprise.
The Wan Du Sect's martial art is called the Wan Du Gong, and outsiders call it the Wan Du Magic Gong.
People who practice this technique will have toxins flowing in the blood on the surface of their bodies, and the types of toxins in their bodies can be changed according to the different trajectories of the internal energy.
The more types of toxins that can be changed, the more strange poisons there are, and the closer the Ten Thousand Poisons Magic Art is to perfection! Take Wan Ping as an example, he currently has a total of 7749 strange poisons and 72 special toxins.
Among them, there are four or five kinds of strange poisons that can make people weak and dissipate their internal energy.
In order to deal with Li Qi, Wan Ping had just taken out all the poisons in his bottom drawer! Although because of the request of the Bone Demon, Wan Ping did not take out the most lethal poison, and all he took out were the bewitching poisons, but with so many kinds of bewitching poisons mixed together, even a Grandmaster would be weak for a while if he was not careful. How could Li Qi, a mere sixth-grade innate, resist his poison! ?
"Unfortunately, your dose is too small."
Li Qi spoke calmly, and the silk threads formed a dragnet that completely enveloped Wan Ping.
Wan Ping's poison was indeed hard to guard against. If Li Qi had not already perfected a small part of the second level of the Immortal Heart Sutra, even if he could resist the poison, most of his strength would be gone! But fortunately, Li Qi had the Immortal Heart Sutra.
The first level of the Immortal Heart Sutra's recovery and resistance to poison are already far beyond that of ordinary people.
The second level can also speed up one's own metabolism through special methods!
The high recovery ability of the first level of the Immortal Heart Sutra, plus the anti-poison ability of the second level of the Immortal Heart Sutra, plus the fact that Li Qi had taken a detoxification pill when the other party was unaware.
The combination of multiple factors allowed Li Qi to stand here intact! As for when did Li Qi take the detoxification pill?
The main martial arts moves of Linglong Heart Sutra are a pair of delicate hands, which can take things away from people without their knowledge, and can also transfer things in the hands to other places without people knowing.
Not to mention that Li Qi was running for his life with his back to Wan Ping, even if he was facing Wan Ping head-on, as long as Li Qi wanted, the other party would never be able to find out that Li Qi had eaten! His poison had no effect, and Wan Ping, who came from the Wandu Sect, turned pale.
But he quickly recovered and said to Li Qi angrily:
"Okay, okay, for Senior Gu's sake, I wanted to save you some suffering. But since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As Wan Ping spoke, his hands began to emanate internal energy, and in the blink of an eye, their color changed from normal flesh color to an almost black purple!
The purple color touched Li Qi's silk thread, but instead of being cut into two pieces by Li Qi's silk thread, it made a crisp sound of metal colliding!
Not only that, some of Li Qi's silk threads were actually corroded, and some of them were broken immediately!
Ten Thousand Poisons Magic, Ten Thousand Poisons Hands!
The silk thread was corroded, and a special stench filled the air. Li Qi immediately held his breath and squinted his eyes. His body suddenly stopped and quickly retreated behind him! "Want to run!?"
Seeing Li Qi retreat, Wan Ping instinctively felt that the other party wanted to escape.
He then took advantage of the victory and pursued Li Qi.
However, Wan Ping soon discovered that he had guessed wrong.
He had just taken two steps when he heard a rustling sound all around him.
Wooden spider puppets had spread all around at some point, their limbs embedded in the ground and silver threads spewing from their mouths, blocking Wan Ping's way in pursuit of Li Qi.
The silk thread was extremely thin and almost transparent under the shadow of the trees. Even though Wan Ping was a congenitally strong man, he was unable to discover it at the first time!
By the time he realized the existence of the silk threads, it was too late. The threads had already entangled his body, making him unable to move like a prey trapped in a spider web.
At the moment when Wan Ping was entangled by the silk thread, Li Qi stopped and looked at him.
Wan Ping used his own internal energy to strengthen his body's defense and resist the contraction of Li Qi's silk thread.
Seeing Li Qi stop, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Just relying on these, you want to trap me! You really underestimate the gap between the innate abilities!"
"Yeah, these can't keep you trapped forever, but... I only need to trap you for a moment."
Li Qi whispered to himself.
At this distance, with the other party's innate fourth-grade skill level, Li Qi was sure that the other party could hear what he said, so there was no need to shout at the other party.
Hearing Li Qi's words, Wan Ping's eyes narrowed and he looked around as if he was looking for something.
He didn't believe that Li Qi had any way to deal with him, so his first thought was that there were other masters nearby.
After all, Li Qi is one of the holy sons confirmed by the Wanmo Dao Sect. It is normal for him to have other protectors or other people who want to kidnap him.
But Wan Ping looked around and didn't see anyone else.
On the contrary, Li Qi took out a mechanical prop that looked like a crossbow from somewhere.
The prop as a whole looked like a crossbow, but the position where the crossbow arrow was mounted was not the mechanical expansion structure that Wan Ping was familiar with, but instead a thick bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube was very long, and the dark hole was pointed at Wanping.
With the eyesight of a fourth-grade warrior, Wan Ping could see what was hidden inside the cave entrance.
Something like a projectile.
"A rifle?"
Wan Ping sneered at this and said, "A firearm like this can easily dodge even a post-natal realm cultivator, let alone a Xiantian realm cultivator. You want to use this thing against me? Is this your last resort?"
Guns do exist in this world, but they are the most primitive kind of matchlock guns, which are basic firearms that need to be ignited outside before they can be fired.
This kind of firearm has poor accuracy and its power is not satisfactory. A warrior in the innate realm can block it with the help of internal energy, and a warrior in the acquired realm can also resist the bullet through the skin!
If Li Qi wanted to use this kind of firearm to deal with a master of the fourth level of innateness, it would be too fantastical.
"You have to try it anyway."
Li Qi smiled, pointed the gun at Wan Ping, and pulled the trigger.
The moment Li Qi pulled the trigger, a strong threat of death came from the muzzle of the gun.
The higher the rank of a warrior, the sharper his intuition. So when he felt the oncoming sense of death, Wan Ping no longer hesitated and immediately mobilized his internal energy to erode the silk thread that bound him! Bang, bang, bang! The sound of the silk thread breaking rang out, and the spider puppets arranged around were bounced away by the reaction force after the silk thread broke. Wan Ping himself also broke free and dodged to the side.
Although Wan Ping looked down on the bullets fired from the musket, since the opponent's "bullets" made him feel threatened, it would be better to hide first to be on the safe side.
Wan Ping escaped very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.
He dodged very quickly, and just after escaping from the trap he dodged to the side. There was probably not even half a second in total.
Therefore, when he just dodged, the bullet fired from Li Qi's gun reached Wan Ping.
With a warrior's dynamic vision, Wan Ping saw the bullet flying near him.
The bullet that shot out from Li Qi's gun was not an iron bullet like a normal matchlock gun, but a ball of yellow paper.
There are special runes written in cinnabar on the paper. Countless runes overlapped together, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.
Paper, runes... rune paper? !
The moment he saw the talisman paper, Wan Ping suddenly remembered that the "holy son" in front of him was called "master of both weapons and talismans" on the human list! In addition to the endless number of hidden weapons, he also had strange talisman paper that was activated for unknown reasons!
If it is a talisman paper——
Wan Ping realized that something was wrong, and the internal energy in his body circulated even faster, to the point that it escaped from his body surface and formed black poisonous gas.
This is enough to prove how desperate he is at this moment!
But it was too late.
When Li Qi fired the projectile, he was already prepared for Wan Ping to dodge it, so whether Wan Ping dodged it or not, according to Li Qi's calculations, the talisman paper would explode in front of Wan Ping.
Right now! The talisman paper emitted light, and the light spread to all directions in the blink of an eye. Then the talisman paper exploded, and the scorching flames suddenly erupted! Boom!!!!!! The small talisman paper exploded with incredible power.
In just a moment, with the talisman paper bullet as the center, a thick pillar of fire as high as dozens of meters burst out! Then the pillar of fire spread to the surroundings, and the wind formed by the violent impact blew in all directions, drowning everything around! Li Qi had been prepared for a long time. He took out the prepared mechanism and covered his body, then lay down on the ground, and the shock wave just passed over his head.
But Wan Ping was not so lucky.
He was at the center of the explosion and was immediately engulfed by the blast, becoming silent in an instant.
Only when the flames gradually subsided did Li Qi hear his screams and wails.
“Ahhhh!! What kind of magic is this!!! How could there be such a weird magic in the Central Plains!! Ahhhhh!!!”
Li Qi turned around and saw a living person with fire all over his body rolling on the ground and screaming.
Wan Ping's innate fourth-grade physical fitness prevented him from being immediately blown to pieces by the concentrated fireball.
But this is not a good thing, it is a bad thing.
Because the remaining flames ignited his body, causing it to burn automatically due to the high temperature.
The impact of the explosion also made him temporarily deaf. He could not hear any sound from the outside world and could only roll on the ground and wail weakly.
The fourth-grade cultivation realm failed to save his life, but instead caused him to suffer extreme pain.
Li Qi felt a chill in his heart when he saw this. Looking at Wan Ping rolling on the ground, he did not approach him. Instead, he took out a few talismans from his body and controlled the spider puppet to come to Wan Ping.
Snap, snap—
The talisman paper burst into frost, covering Wan Ping and also freezing Wan Ping's wailing.
Then Li Qi controlled the silk thread to pass through the frozen Wan Ping.
In an instant, Wan Ping's frozen body shattered like broken tiles.
The fight lasted only a quarter of an hour, and a fourth-rank warrior was completely destroyed by Li Qi's talisman!
