Chapter 168 The Secret Technique of Returning to Origin
Outside the Bai family mansion.
The crowd that had dispersed under the cover of night was awakened by the commotion, and many more curious onlookers gathered around, pointing and commenting on the array patterns that had been erected.
"What is the Bai family doing?"
"Yes, a fire dragon burned the granary at dusk, and then the clan's protective formation was activated in the middle of the night. Could it be that some ferocious cultivator broke into their family's treasure vault?"
"That won't do. This is Guiling City, after all. We still have to abide by the rules of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect."
"But you can't just rely on a name! In today's Guiling City Lord's Mansion, everyone knows that the head of the household is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."
"What can he possibly hold onto? And who is afraid of him?!"
"How dare you! You are disgracing the Holy Sect!"
"Does the city lord represent the Holy Sect's reputation? Who the hell do you think you are!"
Two bystanders, each offering their own opinion, countered by the other.
They started arguing and even fighting in no time, causing chaos among the onlookers.
Among the crowd, the Guan family, the Jiang family, and the three major Core Formation sects that mingled in Guiling all sent spies over. Now that such a big thing has happened in the Bai family, there is still a faint smell of blood wafting from the crowd.
They couldn't sit still any longer and used various methods to get the news to the people in charge in the rear as soon as possible.
Guan Mansion.
The head of the Guan family, who had two encounters with Wang Yu, suddenly received the news and immediately guessed that it was Wang Yu who had made the move, recalling his misdeeds of imitating the 'fire dragon burning the granary' that night.
They immediately summoned the steward and had a spare ledger copied overnight.
He made two preparations for this matter.
If the Bai family succeeds, then the Guan family's accounts will be burned clean. If the City Lord's Mansion wins, it's because the Guan family is cautious and has backup plans for everything, so the taxes due will be paid in full without any discrepancy.
He remains a loyal subject!
However, according to the intelligence sent back by the scouts, the smell of blood was very strong.
Wang Yu was all alone, and even if he bled to death, he wouldn't lose much more blood. So, the Bai family suffered heavy casualties, and with that feeling of unease, the Guan family head lost all interest in cultivation.
I sat quietly in the hall, waiting for the latest news.
Like him, there were many others in the city, some a local tyrant, others a street king; this matter was inextricably linked to everyone.
at the same time.
Outside the Bai Family Ancestral Hall.
Exhausted from dealing with the younger generation who were being controlled by the demonic sounds, the Second Elder and Third Elder were already drenched in sweat. They could neither harm them nor restrain them.
They tried using ropes made of true essence to bind everyone.
But these people seemed to feel no pain at all; even if they broke their own bones, they would break free and launch a suicide attack on the two of them.
"This mind-controlling technique is too domineering! It can even manipulate a person's survival instinct?!"
"Could this be a secret technique of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect?!"
Third Elder Bai Zhuzhu gritted her teeth.
"If all else fails, break their limbs."
"..."
"OK."
Both of them felt both pain and sorrow at making this decision on short notice, as the vast Bai family was powerless against a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"After this crisis, we must find a secret method to clear our mind and spirit, so that we will not be taken advantage of again."
"hehe--
"You have no chance."
Suddenly, Wang Yu appeared behind Bai Zhuzhu. The moment he threw a punch, the Yinming Demon Dragon coiled around his arm, combining the immense power of the Divine Corpse Arm with the Corpse Demon Bone.
It immediately unleashed an incredibly terrifying and immense divine power.
The air exploded with a deafening sound, and Wang Yu forcefully created a white ring of air currents.
Bai Zhuzhu subconsciously activated her protective true energy, and a second-grade high-quality magic artifact in the shape of a golden ring appeared behind her, demonstrating her near-perfect emergency response.
However, her protective aura was incredibly fragile; it shattered upon the mere touch of energy. It was the golden ring magic weapon that shielded her from the fatal sneak attack.
He flew out horizontally, smashing into pieces all the Bai family members who were controlled by the demonic sound, causing blood mist to fill the air and blood rain to pour down.
The Second Elder's eyes immediately reddened.
"--No!"
Having been teased for so long, the Second Elder's pent-up anger had long been uncontrollable, and Wang Yu's appearance at this moment was like giving him an opportunity to vent.
Bai Zhuzhu smashed through numerous buildings until she reached the outermost edge of the [Mountain and Swamp Tortoise Shell Formation] and was forced to stop.
A green spear appeared in the Second Elder's hand.
Draw your spear—thrust!
In an instant, a large number of thorny vines sprouted from beneath Wang Yu's feet, binding him to the spot. However, he showed no concern, but instead revealed a triumphant smile.
In a flash, the Second Elder sensed something was wrong, but he had already attacked with all his might and there was no turning back.
"Pfft—pfft—pfft—"
The green wooden spear pierced through flesh again and again, just as the Bai family disciples rushed forward recklessly, blocking the direction in which the spear blades advanced.
With their Qi Refining bodies, how could they possibly withstand the full force of a Foundation Establishment Stage 7 cultivator wielding a second-grade high-level magic weapon?
Faced with death, self-awareness finally revived, but only had time to show a surprised expression, as if asking a question.
Second Elder, why did you kill me?!
"Ding~"
Finally, the green wooden spear pierced the earthen cauldron that Wang Yu had summoned, and as it flew away, it slid onto Wang Yu's body and was blocked by a layer of bronze armor.
The second elder's face was contorted with rage, and two streams of murky tears slid down his cheeks as he roared:
"Wang Yu, I will fight you to the death!"
"I'd be happy to oblige."
Just as the green wooden spear was withdrawn and thrust out again, and a green spiritual light flashed to form a continuously swirling wooden dragon, the Second Elder suddenly groaned.
His entire body was already enveloped in gray soul fire.
It is indeed a second-tier superior magic artifact, the Glazed Soul Lamp!
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators can control two magical artifacts simultaneously. Wang Yu's divine sense has reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, which is enough to control three magical artifacts at the same time to fight enemies.
Using himself as bait, he lured the Second Elder into launching continuous and aggressive attacks.
The sneak attack was ultimately successful.
As a supporting artifact for the Ancient Soul Technique, although it was obtained through theft, it can still unleash the full power of the late Foundation Establishment stage divine sense under Wang Yu's command.
Although his physical body was not damaged by the flames released by the Glazed Soul Lamp, the Second Elder felt a momentary dizziness, as his soul was subjected to the torture of being burned alive.
What immense suffering this is!
The opportunity was rare, so the Xuan Yin Hand, at its peak, was used to its fullest extent. This time, however, no giant gray-black hand appeared. Instead, it returned to its original simplicity and merged entirely into Wang Yu's palm.
The viscous, almost liquefied Xuan Yin power caused Wang Yu's right hand to transform into a dark, ghostly hand, slamming it hard into the Second Elder's chest.
His clothes were torn apart and his chest was sunken, leaving only a dark palm print.
His head was tilted back, and he uncontrollably vomited a large amount of blood.
Blood splattered across the sky on the spot!
Although he did not die, he was eroded by the power of Xuan Yin, and his heart meridian was damaged. He would not live for more than a few days.
At that moment, the staggering Third Elder Bai Zhuzhu arrived from afar and just happened to see the Second Elder receive a palm strike from a Xuan Yin Hand at the Perfect Realm.
"No!"
Picking at his ears, Wang Yu had lost count of how many times he had heard the word "no" tonight; it was truly annoying.
"now you."
Bai Zhuzhu is at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, only in the middle stage. Her spiritual power is not as strong as his. As long as she uses clever methods and seizes the opportunity, Wang Yu is not incapable of winning a head-on battle.
Moreover, there were obvious signs of twisting in her side waist. Although the punch was blocked by the golden ring, she still suffered considerable damage.
He didn't say much.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed several icy sword energies. The Third Elder then summoned a high-grade magic artifact, the Golden Ring, which transformed into a 360-degree golden shield that blocked all the sword energies without any blind spots.
A thick fog blanketed the area.
Sharp golden sword beams flew out from within, precisely locking onto his position. Wang Yu activated his escape technique, Frost Moon Wings, and instantly moved far away from his previous location.
The Ghostly Flute brought its lower lip closer, and melodious, beautiful notes filled the room.
As soon as Bai Zhuzhu burst out of the icy mist, her figure swayed, and red light flashed continuously in her eyes—it was the Mind Control Demonic Sound.
However, amidst constant grief and rage...
For a short time, her mind was consumed by only two words—revenge! Revenge! And more revenge!
The Mind Control Demonic Sound, at the Great Perfection level, only served as a distraction. Suddenly accelerating, Bai Zhuzhu rushed to Wang Yu's side, slashing down with the second-tier mid-grade magic weapon, the Sharp Gold Sword.
But Wang grabbed the blade with his left hand, and he couldn't help but grin: "You've lost your mind to fight me, the city lord."
No matter how sharp the magic weapon was, even if it cut open the fingers of his left arm, he felt no pain.
This thing wasn't originally his body.
With a pull of his left hand and a clenched fist of his right, the Yinming Demon Dragon's spine exerted its power once more, its fist almost piercing into Bai Zhuzhu's stomach, causing her internal organs to become a complete mess.
The other party revealed a ruthless smile, and the golden ring magic artifact suddenly grew larger, tightening around the waists of the two, bringing the old man and the young man face to face.
The older women have mastered the art of preserving their youthful appearance, maintaining the figure of mature and beautiful women with curves in all their right directions. The younger ones are incomparably handsome, with tall and elegant figures that exude a refined air.
This resulted in a scene resembling a young man embracing a woman in his arms.
Wang Yu felt utterly disgusted, but the soft moaning of the other person made him lose his composure.
"Return to Origin Secret Technique: Disintegration!"
This is his grandmother's self-destruction technique. Although demonic cultivators are used to going to extremes, those who practice self-destruction techniques are still a minority because the process is too dangerous and they have no way to practice it.
If you are careless, you will explode and die.
With enormous risks and zero returns, only madmen and suicide warriors would cultivate such a suicidal secret technique, which is also a method jointly prohibited by the demonic Nascent Soul forces.
Bai Zhuzhu's ability to use this technique can only mean that she suffered extreme psychological trauma in the past and had the opportunity to practice it when she was contemplating suicide.
In addition, the Guiyuan Secret Technique is one of the famous demonic self-destruction techniques, which Wang Yu had seen in the scriptures of the Shujing Hall.
A time of crisis.
Wang Yu decisively used the Corpse Demon Secret Technique to sever his left arm from his body.
Thus, a slight gap appeared in the tightly locked golden ring. After pulling out his left arm, the gap widened further, allowing the immense power of the second-stage body refinement to erupt.
Cracks were constantly appearing on Bai Zhuzhu's face, with white light bursting out from within. Driven by immense force, her body was almost folded in half by Wang Yu.
He pulled himself out of the golden ring with all his might, and threw it with his only remaining right arm. It had only flown a dozen meters when a tremendous explosion occurred.
The Earth Cauldron rapidly expanded, enveloping his main body.
The next instant, cracks appeared all over the cauldron, and Wang Yu, who was hiding inside, was shaken and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Tu Yuanding died peacefully in his sleep.
Ultimately, it was just a second-tier low-grade magic weapon. It was too close, so it's understandable that it couldn't withstand such a self-destruction.
