Chapter 132 Knowledge (1)
There was nothing in sight, and even though there was clearly nothing, I began to feel the wind.
The source of the chaotic wind could not be identified, and the breeze gradually turned into a gale. The golden sparks fluttered with it, each time faster than the last, brushing past the spiritual power on the surface of Xi Xingji and Qu Qitao. The flames immediately ignited the protective spiritual power, spread, and then exploded!
“Hiss—la—”
Xi Xingji seemed to be able to hear such a sound coming from the depths of his soul, like the sound of paper being torn, and the first thing he felt was emptiness.
The gap in his soul made him feel like a wooden house that was blown into by cold wind in winter, and began to sway in the howling wind.
But the feeling of emptiness lasted only a moment, and then he began to be filled with a dark feeling. At first, that feeling seemed without substance, without meaning, simply seeking sustenance, and then it quickly connected with hatred - the image of Shang Qian being broken in two before him began to expand.
Why don't you kill this evildoer? Shang Qian, whose face was blurred, asked.
Why haven't you killed this evildoer yet? He kept asking himself. Breathing was painful, and the hatred that hadn't yet subsided began to overflow uncontrollably. His mind told him to calmly come up with a solution, but he couldn't.
Luo Xuanyi's malicious catalysis, which she tentatively termed the Winter Prayer Technique, effectively reduced a person to a vengeful idiot driven solely by instinct and unable to think. It was one of her own pseudo-magical abilities.
Using the Wind-Chasing Golden Fire to break through the protective spiritual power, it only took a moment for Luo Xuanyi, who had been lurking in the shadows, to take advantage of the opportunity and catalyze the seeds of malice in his heart.
Kill, kill her.
Kill, kill her.
Kill, kill her!
Bloodshot eyes filled Xi Xingji's sleeves, and countless poisonous insects flew out like a blanket of oppressive dark clouds! The spreading torrent indiscriminately attacked all living things in this world, but Xi Xingji couldn't see that after a short time in the air, the poisonous insects were eroded by all living things, turning into a pool of liquid dripping down.
The dripping liquid was blown away by the wind caused by the Golden Fire of Chasing Wind and scattered in the air. The poisonous spiritual energy in the air became more and more. Xi Xingji's poison meridians in his body could not resist such a powerful spiritual power, and began to retreat from his fingers.
But in contrast, the hatred in his body expanded and a small blue flame was born.
It was almost time. Luo Xuanyi had timed it perfectly. Rather than wait for Xi Xingji to transform into ghostly fire and be absorbed like Dong Qi, Luo Xuanyi optimized her technique, revealing her true form of a treacherous cultivator. With her long sword, brimming with malevolent intent, she instantly decapitated Xi Xingji!
“Bang!”
The skin swelled and burst, yet within was a trace of flesh and blood. Instead, it nurtured a blue will-o'-the-wisp that flew into Luo Xuanyi's hands. Compared to the will-o'-the-wisp flames of the villagers of Guning Village, the flames honed by the cultivators through centuries of cultivation were breathtakingly clear and beautiful. Even from a tiny flame, Luo Xuanyi could sense its immense power, a power unlike any other.
Moreover, there was a strange fragment floating in this flame, which had never been seen before.
Luo Xuanyi watched the flame with great interest, but she suppressed her desire to study it and put away the will-o'-the-wisp first.
All this seemed complicated, but in fact it only took a few breaths. Qu Qitao could hardly see what happened. She only knew that a strong wind suddenly blew up and was about to destroy her spiritual power structure. If it was destroyed, she would harm all living things. Therefore, she was so focused that she didn't notice Xi Xingji suddenly going crazy.
When she was attacked by Xi Xingji's poisonous insects, she almost thought that this was Xi Xingji giving her another signal. However, when she turned her head, she saw the scene of Xi Xingji being beheaded and turned into a ghost fire.
And Luo Xuanyi, who revealed her original form of a strange cultivator.
What is this? It doesn't seem to be the same body from before. A ghost cultivator? No, if it were, the Smoke River Ferryman would have identified it the first time they met.
Qu Qitao was the type of person who remained calm the more angry she became. She knew full well that Xi Xingji was beyond redemption, but she couldn't let that discourage her. Since Xi Xingji's death had revealed Luo Xuanyi's true identity, she was bound to discover something! Even though she had already sensed Luo Xuanyi's ease, she wouldn't pass up any chance to fight!
I can’t let my brother’s death be in vain.
Qu Qitao was born into a sect of immortal cultivators, but there was no difference in family ties. The more accomplished a cultivator was, the less they cared about kinship, and her parents were no exception.
During the endless training, some people respected and flattered her as the future Palace Master of Xinghai Palace, some people worshipped and envied her as a genius, and no one simply saw her as a child, except Xi Xingji, who was only two years older than her.
She treated Xi Xingji as her own brother, so even though Xi Xingji entered the foundation-building stage later than her and even lost to her repeatedly in sect conferences, she still insisted on calling Xi Xingji senior brother.
Xi Xingji was a traditional poison cultivator, so his battles were always shorter than his reading of classics. Qu Qitao had a lot of knowledge that he had read from books and then shared with him, such as the poison "Wanwusheng" that targeted cultivators, the ghost cultivators who were hated by heaven and man, and the half-ghosts who took possession of spiritual objects or even the bodies of cultivators...
A half-ghost that possesses the body of a monk?
Qu Qitao realized something, and as he watched Luo Xuanyi put away the ghost fire, his mind began to work rapidly.
Half-ghosts are a strange, evil creature. They have many strange origins. There are cases in Fuwen Tower as simulated battles, one of which is similar to Luo Xuanyi's situation.
The half-ghost was the result of a person who had been tortured for a long time and finally died. However, in a rare case, he did not transform into a vengeful spirit, but became a half-ghost. The half-ghost had no memories of his previous life, only the desire of his previous life, which was to kill people.
Unlike vengeful spirits, however, half-ghosts cannot manifest without a physical attachment, even to humans. They can only communicate with those who share similar desires in their dreams. Some, however, will unconsciously attach themselves to objects that these individuals frequently interact with. Half-ghosts are inherently cunning, luring people into signing treacherous contracts with them, hoping to seize their bodies.
This behavior was naturally not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Once a half-ghost lost its possession, it would be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao. If it were not for the Heavenly Dao's thunder tribulation, few cultivators could completely destroy the half-ghost.
Although Luo Xuanyi's current situation is similar to that of a half-ghost, Qu Qitao accidentally found the right method - destroying Luo Xuanyi's body.
However, Luo Xuanyi's body was now hidden, and she had also seen it transformed into countless venomous sprays, appearing to be completely destroyed. Could it be that the key point was not the body itself, but some attachment to it?
No matter what, the body must be found!
Before she could move, she saw a flash of fire and a gust of wind flying in front of her!
First update~
Xi Xingji's end ~ He is an intellectual type, not a combat type. He is good at intelligence and coordination, and has a slow reaction to combat, so he brought two monks who are good at combat hh
Qu Qitao is a genius who is cultivated as an all-round talent. He is usually jumpy, but very reliable in critical moments.
