Chapter 253: Forcing the Demon General to Shed His Skin Again
Yinghua twisted her waist and sighed pretentiously, "Elder Fu Cang and I have wasted our time here, but I wonder what the situation is like for those people in Fufeng County right now?"
Lingxiang frowned when she heard this: "What do you mean?"
"It's just a superficial gesture." Yinghuan lifted her hair and raised her eyebrows at the soldier beside her with a charming look on her face.
"So, you went to such great lengths to arrange things just to separate us on purpose, and now you're wasting time with us just to delay us." Lingxiang understood immediately.
Yinghuan was stunned when she heard this. She had never expected this young elder to be so intelligent. However, she quickly recovered her composure and shrugged nonchalantly, "If you really think so, then so be it."
If you could really see through my plan so easily, how could I survive?
Perhaps because she was anxious, or perhaps because Yinhuan concealed it well, Lingxiang did not notice Yinhuan's pause. She turned her head and looked at Xinyi beside her, but the latter just shook her head.
Lingxiang immediately understood. It seemed that it would not be so easy to capture Yinghuan today.
But on second thought, after all, Yinghuan was a powerful general under the Demon Lord, and had practiced for a hundred years. Even if she was seriously injured, they could not deal with her.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, right?
And looking at Yinghuan's calm appearance, it was obvious that she did not take the trap that he had set with great effort seriously.
She must have a way to escape!
With Senior Brother Chengxin in Fufeng County, there is nothing to worry about. However, Yinghuan has provoked Maidong again and again and hurt him. If she doesn't take revenge, she will not be Lingxiang!
Even if I can't do anything to her, I will make her shed another layer of skin!
Lingxiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she put on a sly smile: "General, you provoked me to take action earlier. Since you begged me sincerely, I will reluctantly let you see my skills!"
Yinghuan's face was full of disdain: "It's not easy for you to set such a trap with your level of cultivation. With the spiritual power you have left now, do you think I'm afraid of you?" As she said that, she picked up the magic blade and rushed towards Lingxiang.
Seeing this, Xinyi Liu Xia hurried forward to stop them, but heard Lingxiang yell:
“Back off!”
Lingxiang slowly took out a sachet from her bosom. It was the same one she had taken out when she exposed Yinghuan as impersonating Chen Sheng.
Yinghuan only felt that the sachet looked familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen it. However, she slowed down her pace as she rushed towards Lingxiang - she had suffered losses at the hands of Lingxiang many times, and since she knew something was fishy, she was always a little wary.
But it was too late.
Lingxiang threw the sachet out calmly, then pinched her fingers and made a hand gesture, and the brocade thread on the sachet flashed with light, which turned out to be an embroidered curse seal!
The silk thread of the sachet continued to unravel, and after it separated from the sachet, it flew in the air like a golden snake, but in the blink of an eye it surrounded the attacking Yinghuan.
Seeing this, Yinghuan smiled contemptuously: "Just relying on this embroidery thread?" But just when she was about to use a knife to cut the silk thread wrapped around her body, she saw the sachet suddenly explode, bursts of dust and mist flew up and exploded, and then floated away along with the silk thread.
As the dust and mist spread around Yinghuan, she felt a spicy sensation in her nose, as if it was burning, and she couldn't help but want to sneeze. Her body also felt uncomfortable, not much pain, but extremely uncomfortable.
To describe how uncomfortable it is, it feels like being pricked by thousands of needles, or like a scab on a sore, and it is extremely itchy.
In a panic, Yinghuan slashed at the silk thread with her knife, but the silk thread was not cut, but wrapped around her magic blade with a silver light.
The extreme discomfort in her body caused Yinghuan to yell, "Little witch! What did you do to me?"
Lingxiang raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "It's true that my cultivation is low and my spiritual power is limited, but as an elder of a sect, I naturally have some skills. Do you think that I have walked the mortal world for many years and only relied on the little skills of Fangwai?"
What a joke! She has nine disciples in the Yuanqing sect, so which one of them doesn't have some unique skills? How dare they look down on her? They really don't know how to live or die!
"Listen carefully, I'm a vindictive woman. We've never met before, yet you've been constantly picking on me. Now that you've offended me, even if I can't subdue you, don't even think about getting away from me unscathed!"
As Lingxiang finished speaking, Yinghuan felt the itch grow even stronger. It felt like it wasn't just on the skin, but deep down in her bones, like a thousand lice emerging from their cocoons, hungry for blood. But no matter how hard she scratched, it was no use.
Yinghuan became more and more crazy, with bloodstains all over her body. However, for some reason, the scratched areas felt like they were on fire and were painful, but if she didn't scratch them, they would become extremely itchy again.
The more I scratch, the more painful it becomes. The more painful it becomes, the more itchy it becomes. The more itchy it becomes, the more I scratch, and so on...
"Little...little witch! If you fall into my hands one day, I will definitely twist your throat!" Yinghuan hoarsely said.
"Hmph! That's really..." Lingxiang's face turned cold: "Let's wait and see!" Then she looked at Liu Xia.
Liu Xia immediately understood, raised his sword and twisted his fingers, turning the blade into a vine, and was about to tie up Yinghuan.
But at this moment, Yinghuan gritted her teeth and let out a long roar. The bluestone bricks under her feet immediately shattered, and the ground sank. An invisible air burst out, and the surrounding soldiers were pushed to the ground one after another.
As the soldiers fell to the ground, the seal was disrupted, and the surrounding dome, which was connected like a chain, collapsed immediately.
The magic circle was broken!
The air currents kept hitting the surroundings, and the soldiers could only dodge the flying debris. They had no time to get up, let alone reorganize the magic circle.
"Everyone just protect yourselves, no need to worry about the magic circle!" Lingxiang shouted while performing the "Calm and Unperturbed Technique" in the chaos.
As if Lingxiang's cry was heard, the chaos gradually subsided, but in the middle of the chaos, Yinghuan looked extremely strange.
I saw that Yinghuan's whole body was yellow and white, and the skin on her face was half peeled off and half connected. She looked fierce and ferocious, and looked extremely terrifying.
Oh! She really shed another layer of skin!
Lingxiang smiled and said sarcastically, "Shedding its skin twice in a row is extremely rare, even for the most venomous insects!"
But Yinghuan just frowned and didn't answer. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she was still in unbearable pain and itching, and she had no time for verbal argument.
"Just wait!"
After saying this, Yinghuan turned into a ball of black mist and flew out of the courtyard wall.
Xinyi hurriedly wanted to chase after him, but Lingxiang stopped him.
"Don't chase after a desperate enemy. That's the medicinal powder I carefully refined, and it's going to make her suffer. I'm afraid Ding'anju is already under siege, so we should hurry there."
Powder? What kind of powder?
Banxia naturally admired Lingxiang, but she was also very curious about what kind of medicinal powder could force Yinghuan to such a state.
It turned out that was what Lingxiang and Xinyi had been tinkering with in Liu's room. They soaked nettle, humulus, goose-not-eating grass, and yellow flower gentian in the juice of three kinds of grass: fishtail palm, oleander, and calla lily. Then they placed it in the alchemy furnace and injected wind energy to dry and crush it. That was the recipe Lingxiang had come up with when she was a child, but she didn't expect it to have such miraculous effects.
Speaking of it, it was the method that Yinghuan gave Lingxiang. Most of these herbs were found by her in southern Xinjiang, and she had never used them. If she had not encountered the witchcraft, she would have almost forgotten that there were these things in her Qiankun bag.
"It's just..." Looking at the ruined house behind her, Lingxiang said apologetically, "It's my fault for destroying the governor's mansion."
At this moment, a hearty laugh came from behind him: "What are you talking about, little immortal? This is an act of exorcising demons and defending morality. So what if it destroys a few houses?"
I saw a man striding in from outside the door. It was Liu Shang, the military supervisor.
General Liu was very handsome, but he had a broad frame and a face that showed wealth and prosperity. He must be a blessed man.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, General Liu was not polite. He just said that saving people is like putting out a fire, and urged everyone to be careful. Then he asked the group to pack up and set off, but did not mention Miss Liu at all.
Although they were traveling in a hurry along the way, Lingxiang was thinking in her heart: The people of the Liu family are really interesting!
