Chapter 133 Knowledge (2)
Luo Xuanyi didn't know what Qu Qitao was thinking in that short period of time. All she was thinking about now was how to break through the music barrier around Qu Qitao.
In reality, if her original form could just use the shrieking sound of her magic knife, she could probably disrupt the situation and then exploit the opportunity to break through. However, Xi Xingji's earlier action of rushing to her original form and wrapping the Tianhe Centipede around her body made her uneasy. After all, Xi Xingji hadn't been completely carried away by her guidance at that time, so he was bound to have a follow-up plan. This follow-up plan was likely to be carried out by the unseen Qu Qitao, so she chose to reveal herself and attack out of caution.
After all, a cultivator like Qu Qitao should have some magical weapons given by his family, but at present, Qu Qitao only uses his own skills to cover for Xi Xingji. He has to be on guard.
Qu Qitao's protective barrier was woven from the sound of music, but it was ultimately a variant of the protective barrier triggered by the "Zhenmeng Luozhi Yin Xin Jue." Luo Xuanyi was still able to detect the presence of water vapor through a gap revealed by the poisonous spiritual energy. However, even with the scope reduced from controlling a part of the universe to protecting Qu Qitao's entire body, the terrifying compression of the musical force was too much for the poisonous spiritual energy to penetrate. Luo Xuanyi could only mobilize her brain to think of another way.
In order to destroy the structure at the lowest possible cost without risking her own body, Luo Xuanyi thought of the Wind-Chasing Golden Fire, which she hadn't used since leaving the ancient ruins.
The wind whistled sharply, and at the same time, the golden flames of the Wind Chaser flickered, enveloping and scorching Qu Qitao's body with the terrifying temperature of a pill. To prevent Qu Qitao from being scorched by the high temperature, the moisture within the shield was forced to carry spiritual energy to the outer layer of the barrier, where it was quickly evaporated!
As the spiritual power moved and tiny holes appeared in the barrier, the wind that had been waiting for a long time undoubtedly broke in and began to wreak havoc!
Tsk! Seeing the barrier about to be destroyed, Qu Qitao couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to take the risk and attack! She ruthlessly took out a bottle of Jiuding Drink and drank it. At this moment, the barrier shattered instantly!
As Luo Xuanyi had anticipated, the poisonous aura rushed toward Qu Qitao, but strangely, it formed a vortex and was continuously absorbed into the nine bronze cauldrons surrounding Qu Qitao. Luo Xuanyi couldn't help but narrow her eyes, finally finding the corresponding elixir in the pharmacopoeia compiled by Taoist Hua Shen in her memory.
Jiuding Drink. This is a protective elixir used in battle, but due to its high seventh-grade quality, it commands a fortune. It's an extremely rare life-saving elixir. After drinking it, it simulates the aura of an ancient cultivator within the body, summoning the phantom protective power of the Nine Cauldrons, a divine artifact cultivated to the highest level by that cultivator. The effect lasts for approximately a quarter of an hour.
The Nine Cauldrons are arguably the most fortified in the world. Each bronze cauldron has its own spirit, each possessing a different one. In short, with the Nine Cauldrons protecting them, no cultivator above the Void Refinement Realm can breach their defenses in less than half a minute, regardless of poison, spiritual attacks, or even sword energy or blade glare!
In battle, such a powerful force is enough to change the situation drastically in a quarter of an hour.
She had underestimated Qu Qitao's accumulated strength as the Palace Master's only daughter. Luo Xuanyi knew that with her current cultivation level, she couldn't break the Nine Cauldron Drink. She didn't waste her energy, but disappeared into hiding, waiting for time to pass.
Qu Qitao was startled when Luo Xuanyi suddenly vanished, then immediately realized—she'd recognized it as the Nine Cauldron Drink! Shouldn't a half-ghost have such insights and memories? This doubt flashed through her mind. Now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Seizing this unique opportunity of immunity to all poisons, Qu Qitao removed a string of pendants from her waist and threw them into the air, her hands transforming into magical gestures.
"All living things will eventually have an echo - broken!"
The jade pendants shattered in mid-air! The jade fragments condensed and remained, forming the illusion of a five-stringed zither. Qu Qitao gestured to the zither through the air, and a sound of music seemed to flow from the sky. A rainbow light appeared, and raindrops drifted. The hidden foundations of the formation also emerged one by one. The earth and the sky twisted and flashed as if stuck, then disappeared with a whoosh, revealing the true black walls created by the formation.
The Nine Cauldrons protected Qu Qitao, but could they also protect this magical instrument? Luo Xuanyi didn't dare hide any longer. She let out a low cry, and a spark of the original will-o'-the-wisp flowed into her hand. Wrapped in evil thoughts, it transformed into a giant sickle, instantly severing the guqin in the sky!
However, Qu Qitao's goal had been achieved - when she saw that Luo Xuanyi's hidden body was hiding right under her, she immediately rang the rings and turned them into a sound blade that slashed directly from the top of Luo Xuanyi's head!
Luo Xuanyi was about to maneuver her body to dodge. She instantly sensed something unusual, but the concept of living ingrained in her since childhood was still one step ahead of her. She maneuvered her body to dodge with a flash of light!
As expected, he's concerned about his body. "In that case, destroying it all is the right thing to do!"
The sonic blades immediately spread out, transforming into countless trembling sound waves that enveloped Luo Xuanyi's body like a protective barrier. Without giving Luo Xuanyi any time to react, Qu Qitao unleashed the orb he had already grasped in his palm without hesitation!
Soul-shattering Ice Soul Orb!
A powerful, one-time magical weapon, used repeatedly, could seal a cultivator within it and then shatter them along with the orb! As long as the opponent's realm was no more than two small realms higher than his own, success was inevitable. It could be said to be a powerful weapon for killing evil cultivators.
Even the well-read Luo Xuanyi's knowledge was limited to pharmacology, so she naturally didn't know about the Shattered Spirit Ice Soul Orb. However, seeing that Qu Qi Taohua had gone to such great lengths to sacrifice this orb, she felt a strong sense of unease.
Luo Xuanyi's body was instantly taken into the gem, and Qu Qitao used his spiritual power to crush it without any delay!
“Boom!”
Outside the formation, thunder exploded!
The orb shattered, scattering to the ground along with Luo Xuanyi's "body," which had practically been reduced to vapor and drifted into the air. But to Qu Qitao's surprise, not everything on Luo Xuanyi's body was shattered. A stone slab entangled in chains was surprisingly intact. The storage bag and flag-shaped magical artifact tied to it were also protected by a strange wave and fell to the ground.
“Boom!”
The second strike of thunder broke the formation, and the formation disappeared into thin air!
The sky was revealed, but there was not a trace of blue sky within a hundred miles. The overwhelming thunder clouds were ready to move, and the dragon-shaped thunder was roaring, about to strike the third blow!
Qu Qitao was surprised to see the venom scattered on the ground begin to gather again, quickly forming a human shape. Not daring to let it go, she immediately struck again and completely destroyed Luo Xuanyi, avenging her fellow Daoist Shang and her senior brother!
“Boom!”
The third strike!
Luo Xuanyi's true form rushed to Qu Qitao's side, reaching out as if to embrace her. The Nine Cauldrons naturally bounced away. Blocked by the Nine Cauldrons, she dodged instantly, but the thunder had already fallen!
"?!" Before Qu Qitao could react, the thunderbolt struck the Nine Cauldrons' phantom! This strike shattered Qu Qitao's protective shield. Luo Xuanyi didn't hesitate for a moment. Almost as soon as the thunderbolt struck, she launched a direct strike, splitting Qu Qitao in half vertically just as the Nine Cauldrons shattered!
“Boom!”
The fourth strike is coming!
Second update~ Qu Qitao is offline~
After all, Sister Yi has encountered few monks and has no experience in dealing with this kind of genius, all-round and rich monk. Although this is a small lesson, her combat awareness will become more insidious in the future.
