The gluttonous beast's gaping maw instantly bit off Xiaoyaozi's hands!
This immediately left Xiaoyaozi disabled; both of his forearms were bitten off, and blood gushed out.
"ah--"
Xiaoyaozi never dreamed that he couldn't even withstand a casual strike from Taotie. Keep in mind, he was no ordinary cultivator now.
Eighth level of the Immortal Rank!
Once he passes through the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation, he will reach the pinnacle of the Loose Immortal realm and become a Nine Revolutions Loose Immortal. Then, after undergoing the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, he will successfully enter the Heavenly Tribulation and become a true immortal.
But now, the dream has been shattered.
"Pfft, pfft..."
As Xiaoyaozi let out a miserable scream, Taotie opened its mouth and spat out Xiaoyaozi's two hands and half of his forearm, which it had bitten off.
"It stinks! It stinks so bad, it's unbearably smelly!"
Taotie spat out Xiaoyaozi's arm, not forgetting to spit a bit of saliva as well.
Finally, just as Xiaoyaozi was about to retract his severed arm, Taotie spewed out Samadhi True Fire from its mouth, instantly burning Xiaoyaozi's hands and severed arm to ashes.
"ah--!"
Seeing his hands completely destroyed, even the seasoned monster Xiaoyaozi went mad.
"You brat, I'll kill you!"
Xiaoyaozi has completely gone mad!
Rong Xi, however, did not care at all, and simply sent a signal to Taotie to kill the other party.
Having received Rong Xi's instructions, Taotie naturally wouldn't be idle.
This time, Taotie did not open its mouth to bite Xiaoyaozi again. Instead, it directly activated its racial secret technique to lock onto Xiaoyaozi and devour all of Xiaoyaozi's cultivation!
"Don't even think about it!"
"In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans. It transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of Peng is so vast that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans..."
With both hands gone, Xiaoyaozi naturally couldn't use the Northern Darkness Profound Art to fight against the Taotie's devouring. But he was an old monster with countless tricks up his sleeve; how could he so easily resign himself to fate?
As Xiaoyaozi chanted, the image of a Kunpeng began to appear behind him.
This is Xiaoyaozi's Northern Darkness Mystic Art!
This cultivation technique is a legacy of the Yantian Sect, capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of all things in heaven and earth for one's own use. However, practitioners of the Beiming Xuan Gong must cultivate another technique simultaneously to avoid being harmed by the technique.
Myriad variations and endless possibilities!
This technique is the introductory technique of the Yantian Sect. Every disciple of the Yantian Sect must cultivate the Myriad Transformations and Thousand Changes.
Only by cultivating the Myriad Transformations and Thousand Changes, and then cultivating the Northern Darkness Profound Art, can one avoid being hindered in their cultivation by the impurity of the spiritual energy of all things.
Every formal disciple of the Yantian Sect knows this.
Tragically, Xiaoyaozi was not a formal disciple of the Yantian Sect. Although he had entered the sect's former territory by chance and received some inheritance, he was completely unaware of the taboos and restrictions of the Yantian Sect's cultivation methods without any guidance.
Because Xiaoyaozi was unaware of the secrets of the Yantian Sect, he suffered misfortune during his tribulation.
His appearance in the Xuanjin Black Prison, and his entanglement with Xuan Iron Locks, was not due to betrayal by his disciples. Rather, he was using this method to achieve the ultimate sublimation, attempting to resolve the hidden danger of the mutual restraint of spiritual energies among all things.
Unfortunately, Rong Xi was teleported to the Xuanjin Black Prison by the Xiaoyao Sect.
Knowing that Rong Xi had obtained the sect leader's inheritance of the Yantian Sect, Xiaoyaozi had a thought: he hoped that he could obtain the method to solve the deficiency of the Beiming Xuan Gong through Rong Xi.
Unfortunately, human calculations are no match for divine calculations!
He underestimated the relationship between Taotie and Rong Xi, which led to his failure.
Xiaoyaozi frantically activated the Beiming Xuan Gong, triggering a divine beast illusion in an attempt to withstand the Taotie's devouring power.
However, it didn't work!
Even with the protection of the Kunpeng image, the Taotie continued to devour Xiaoyaozi's cultivation and blood.
"I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will kill!"
Rong Xi watched as Xiaoyaozi's newly grown flesh and blood decayed, watching him slowly turn from a handsome young man into a pile of white bones.
In a short while, Xiaoyaozi was reduced to a skeleton again. However, at this moment, the soul fire in his eye sockets flickered in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
"Taotie, stop! Don't suck him to death like this!"
Seeing Xiaoyaozi turn back into a skeleton, Rong Xi was still in a good mood. She had released Xiaoyaozi, almost making a terrible mistake. Now, it's better late than never.
The gluttonous beast stopped absorbing Xiaoyao Zide's cultivation and blood, but Xiaoyao Zi fell directly to the ground, looking quite miserable.
It's truly tragic that the founder of the dignified Xiaoyao Sect met such an end!
Rong Xi smiled and glanced at Xiaoyaozi, who had returned to being a skeleton, and said, "Senior, um, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"
"Um?!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's question, Xiaoyaozi's soul fire flickered almost imperceptibly in his eyes.
Although Xiaoyaozi quickly regained his composure and became indifferent, the flickering soul fire in his eyes betrayed him!
Speaking of which, Xiaoyaozi was really unlucky.
If it weren't for his greed, but instead he had adopted a more cautious strategy—first gaining Rong Xi's trust before plotting to inherit the Yantian Sect's leadership—he might actually have learned the Myriad Transformations and Thousand Changes technique. After all, Rong Xi's ultimate goal was to rebuild the Yantian Sect.
"Senior, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can help you with them!"
Rong Xi stared at Xiaoyaozi with a smile, feeling that Xiaoyaozi's abilities were not limited to this. The founder of the Xiaoyao Sect shouldn't have only this many treasures.
But this time, Rong Xi guessed wrong!
If Xiaoyaozi were still in power within the Xiaoyao Sect, or if the people of the Xiaoyao Sect knew that he was in seclusion there, he might actually have a lot of good things.
Unfortunately, Xiaoyaozi had long been a mascot-like figure in the Xiaoyao Sect.
"You vixen, what exactly do you want?"
"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Even if I die, I will not compromise!"
Xiaoyaozi, with his neck stiffened, began to shout at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi wasn't angry.
"Senior, you have truly wronged this junior!"
Rong Xi still smiled and said, "You are, after all, the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect. I have the utmost respect for you! I sincerely want to help you fulfill your last wish!"
"Why can't you appreciate a kind heart?"
Rong Xi looked very disappointed and slowly spoke.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Xiaoyaozi didn't believe Rong Xi would be so kind. This woman had both of his arms bitten off by the Taotie. Where did such a ferocious woman come from?
Why won't the seniors believe in the sincerity of this junior's heart?
Rong Xi shook her head regretfully, preparing to leave. As for Xiaoyaozi, well, naturally she would bring him back to the capital. She had been ambushed and teleported away by the Xiaoyao Sect, and had no idea what the capital was like now.
