Chapter 130 Confrontation (1)
Luo Xuanyi faced two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously. To be on the safe side, she planned to contain them as much as possible before her main body entered the fray, ideally forcing them to employ their own techniques so she could devise countermeasures. Meticulous pre-battle preparation was crucial, so her main body remained hidden, observing carefully as the two bodies she controlled began to move.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyi, no, judging by your methods, are you one of Fu Jishan's evil cultivators?!" Qu Qitao demanded sharply, secretly attempting to send a sound transmission talisman to Longlan City, requesting assistance from fellow Daoists from the six major alliances. It was only then that she realized, with a start, that she hadn't been able to discern Luo Xuanyi's realm the entire time.
The sound transmission failed, and Xi Xingji gave her a subtle look, indicating that he himself was also unable to transmit the message. This further proved that Luo Xuanyi came prepared.
Luo Xuanyi said that Shang Qian's life was in her hands, so the two of them didn't dare to act rashly. They had to try to provoke Luo Xuanyi to reveal some flaws.
"Evil cultivator, you said you were an alchemy cultivator. Could it be that you poisoned Fellow Daoist Shang? What exactly do you want to do?"
Qu Qitao saw Luo Xuanyi stretch out her hands and clap them together. Shang Qian, who had been walking with his back to them, turned around indifferently and flew towards them.
Xi Xingji, a poison cultivator, was extremely sensitive to scents. As Shang Qian approached, he was horrified: "Fellow Daoist Shang, are you injured?!"
"Sure enough, it can't be concealed in front of the cultivators." Luo Xuanyi didn't care. She grabbed Shang Qian in front of her. Under her control, Shang Qian lowered his arms. The disguised scabbard of the Tianjian Realm and the big hole on his chest were completely exposed in front of Qu Qitao and Xi Xingji, making their hair stand on end - they didn't notice it from a distance, but when they looked closely, they found that Shang Qian's big man had become as tall as Luo Xuanyi at some point, and his skin seemed to be fitted, but in fact it was loose, as if he was new.
What kind of behavior would lead to such a result?
Qu Qitao imagined the scene, and a sick feeling nearly settled in his stomach. For thousands of years, during the centuries when the two states ruled by Zang Yaozong were separated from the righteous path by a natural chasm, the righteous path had indeed not encountered a true demonic cultivator. The psychological repression had nearly disrupted Qu Qitao and Xi Xingji's rhythm. Seeing the positive results, Luo Xuanyi continued their efforts.
Luo Xuanyi broke the seal of the Demonic Sword Killing Dao, stuffed it into Shang Qian's hand, and began to transfer spiritual power into Shang Qian's body.
"Is this a demonic knife?" Xi Xingji was shocked. He watched as the poisonous spiritual energy Luo Xuanyi had transferred into Shang Qian's body began to erode his flesh, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop it!
Shang Qian's face showed a distorted expression. He opened his lips with difficulty, exhaled in despair and whispered: "Let's go..."
But before Xi Xingji heard the sound, the magic knife in Shang Qian's hand let out an excited scream and slashed down diagonally towards Xi Xingji who was coming towards him!
"clang!"
At the critical moment, Xi Xingji leaned back as far as he could, waving his left sleeve to summon a cloud of insects as a shield to block the knife's flash! Unfortunately, the poisonous insects could only block it for a moment, and in that instant, the rings and pendants around Qu Qitao jingled and sang a song!
The demonic blade dragged Shang Qian along, ignoring the dead insect cloud and ash, and struck again! This blow seemed to have truly struck Xi Xingji, but unfortunately, the blade only cut through an illusion. Unconsciously, Luo Xuanyi had already fallen into hallucination.
Le Xiu? Luo Xuanyi's real body, hidden in the shadows, tried to use her own instinctive cultivation to sense the living, but unfortunately, she was unable to detect it.
The more I searched, the more I could hear a melody, as if it came from the source. Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong, the crisp sound slowly outlined the image of a girl.
She smiled, her aqua blue gauze dress cascading with layers, becoming more and more concrete. With brisk steps, she moved from her mind to the core of Luo Xuanyi, her jewelry emitting a joyful musical melody with every step.
What would happen if she found the core? Luo Xuanyi immediately tried to stop thinking about the girl, but as long as the music continued, the girl still smiled lively.
Since I can't find a flaw for the time being, then I'll use the force to break it! Luo Xuanyi's mind moved, and Shang Qian immediately turned the magic knife upside down and cut towards his neck!
The demonic flames on the Devil Blade expanded, like a sword embryo being forged under a blacksmith's hammer. An external force forced the Devil Blade's killing path to a halt. The Devil Blade angrily beeped, and at the same time, Luo Xuanyi felt a murmur in her ears. The sound of Qu Qitao's music in her mind was suddenly disturbed, and she immediately realized some aspects of Qu Qitao's technique.
Qu Qitao is the most gifted music cultivator in Xinghai Palace in the past hundred years. She possesses a water spiritual root, capable of drawing spiritual energy from any body of water. While she cannot directly manipulate the spiritual energy of cultivators, as cultivators generally possess spiritual energy to protect their bodies, as long as she is in a place with sufficient water, she can use her affinity for water to prevent her opponents from drawing spiritual energy. It can be said that unless the opponent is powerful enough to kill with a single blow, she can even escape from the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the presence of water.
However, the laws of nature are inherently unchangeable, and her strong affinity for water prevented her from cultivating her Dao through water. If she aspired to achieve divine enlightenment through the water path, her innate talent necessitated her slaying the celestial beast Zhen Meng, the master of the water path. The righteous path forbids cultivators from slaying celestial beasts for their own Dao, as demonic cultivators do. Therefore, under the guidance of the Palace Master of Xinghai Palace, Qu Qitao turned to the path of Le Xiu.
Her talent, however, remained undiscovered. Qu Qitao developed a technique called "Zhen Meng Luo Zhi Yin Xin Jue," which uses the sound of music to resonate with the water within the universe, achieving the remarkable effect of using the heavens and earth as magical instruments. To activate the technique at any time without being detected, she ultimately chose to use the pendants on her body as instruments to guide the flow of the Xin Jue.
Although her self-created inner skills slowed her progress, Qu Qitao remained unrivaled among her peers in the righteous realm. Her music created illusions, capable of breaking through the spiritual barriers of cultivators through the tones and the powerful impression she made, creating hallucinations and inducing them to attack themselves.
Because the Heaven and Earth acted as a magical instrument, the opponent's body was experiencing the same frequency as the illusion, so even blocking hearing was ineffective. To break the illusion, there were only two ways: one was to force Qu Qitao to abandon his musical attack and attack the mist himself, disrupting the frequency of the Heaven and Earth's sound. The other was to use "sounds" that exceeded Qu Qitao's realm to forcibly disrupt his music.
Obviously, the sound of the sword spirit of the demonic sword that once killed the sky, even if it had been broken into two, was definitely not something she could easily suppress.
The illusion was disturbed, and the figures of Qu Qitao and Xi Xingji reappeared. Xi Xingji slashed at the Demonic Blade's killing path, forcing the killing path to stop with a flowing "dagger".
Magnificent colors suddenly exploded, like the pus of rotten fruit, and in the blink of an eye they were about to cover the Demonic Sword Killing Path, causing the connection between the Killing Path and Shang Qian to gradually weaken and be on the verge of being severed!
Business potential, easy to use
