Five Immortal Sects

Chapter 566: Despair (I)

Views:

The three long-armed giant ape puppets cooperated extremely well, just like twin brothers with a tacit understanding and blood connection.

After giving up the defense, every attack was like a hammer. The "Incandescent Demon Tiger" was hit so hard that it could only retreat again and again.

While attacking, Bai Rouyu slapped her waist with her hands, and a pill suddenly flew out of the storage bag and went straight to her mouth. The next moment, she held it in her mouth.

Although Bai Rou did not know how to make poisons, as a disciple of the Wuliang Sect, she still had poison pills on her. She knew very well what it meant for a female cultivator to fall into the hands of the enemy.

She was making one last attempt now, hoping that Li Yan could hold on a little longer. She wanted to severely injure the monster in front of her as soon as possible so that she could rush over. However, she knew in her heart that facing a demon in the middle stage of Jindan, there was no hope at all, but she still had to risk her life to fight.

The poison pill in her mouth would dissolve if it touched anyone, and would kill anyone if it entered her stomach. Now she was just using her spiritual power to wrap the pill to prevent it from dissolving. As soon as her spiritual power dissipated, the poison pill would melt in an instant, and the next moment, she would turn into a pile of bones.

Bai Rou had not learned the poison cultivation methods of the Wuliang Sect, but she had learned the decisiveness and viciousness of the poison cultivation. Bai Rou planned to detonate the three puppets as soon as she approached the demon cultivator.

Teng Wuji, who was far away, had just collected Li Yan when he saw the girl suddenly swallow some pill. This made him frown. Although he didn't know what kind of pill the other party had swallowed, the determination on Bai Rou's face made Teng Wuji feel something was wrong.

“It should just be a pill that replenishes qi, blood or spiritual power.” Teng Wuji thought to himself.

Originally, with his cultivation level, Mo thought that the other party could rely on the magic weapon puppet to resist the early third-order "Incandescent Demon Tiger", but in front of him, it was simply a joke.

A middle-stage Jindan cultivator kills an early-stage Jindan cultivator. Although it is not as easy as just blowing away the opponent, it will definitely not be too difficult.

But he first had to capture Bai Rou alive, and secondly he had to get the storage bag from this kid, so the task that could originally be done by just a wave of the hand to kill the two of them became a bit cumbersome.

After several rounds of hesitation, Teng Wuji made a mistake that he regretted afterwards. Otherwise, when Li Yan and the others were knocked down by the "Dark Gold Lightning" and their figures were revealed, he only needed to take advantage of the opportunity to kill everyone here.

Up to now, the only threat he could suffer was that small piece of jade ruler.

Seeing that Li Yan had been sucked into the "Soul Absorbing Bottle", Teng Wuji had no time to check the result, and in fact there was no need to check the result.

Even if a Jindan cultivator entered the "Soul-Absorbing Bottle", he could only resist for a while at most, but would still not be able to escape the fate of death in the end. All he needed to do was to pour out this kid's dried corpse and storage bag in a short while.

Teng Wuji waved his right hand, took the "Soul-Absorbing Bottle" in his hand, and appeared in front of Bai Rou in a flash. He felt extremely uneasy about the pill that the girl had swallowed, so it would be safest to capture her.

Teng Wuji didn't give Bai Rou any time to react. He arrived in front of her and grabbed her on the head with his claws.

Bai Rou was casting a spell desperately, forcing the "White Incandescent Demonic Tiger" to retreat continuously amid its roar.

At this time, the "Incandescent Demonic Tiger" swung its thick tail like a windmill, stirring the surrounding airflow with a sharp "whoosh" sound.

Every time a blow was struck on a puppet, it would cause its body to tilt and stagger backwards, leaving a glaring white mark on its body that went several inches deep.

But the other two puppets would take the opportunity to either punch the "Incandescent Demonic Tiger" or knee it in the waist with a dazzling blue light of spiritual power.

At this time, the puppet giant ape that was repelled had red eyes flashing rapidly, and once again, with overwhelming force, it pounced forward viciously with a dazzling blue light.

The "White Incandescent Demonic Tiger" had shown some fear in its eyes. The attacks launched by the three puppets after being embedded with the middle-grade spirit stones were not something it could withstand. At this moment, it felt that its internal organs had been turned upside down, and its muscles and bones were in excruciating pain.

Bai Rou's three long-armed giant ape puppets already had strength close to that of the early Golden Core stage. After fighting desperately without regard for damage, and with the help of mid-grade spirit stones, they knew that the "White Incandescent Demon Tiger" was extremely ferocious, but they were barely defeated.

But all this only lasted for less than two breaths, Bai Rou felt a flash before her eyes, and the hairs on her body stood up. Her reaction was countless times faster than her brain, and she subconsciously cast a spell with her hands to make the three long-armed puppets self-destruct.

In just a moment, the space around her seemed to have stopped in time, and Bai Rou's pair of jade arms were nailed in mid-air the moment the magic formula was activated.

And on her snow-white neck, a pair of huge black, dry hands were stuck tightly on it.

A flush appeared on Bai Rouyu's face, and she was horrified beyond words. She tried to use her energy to resist, but the spiritual power that had always flowed freely in her body lost all control the moment the big hand clamped on her neck.

Bai Rou's heart instantly died of despair. She couldn't even instantly break the spiritual power wrapped around the pill in her mouth, but she still gritted her teeth.

The spiritual power on the pill will automatically dissipate after two breaths after losing the follow-up support of the spiritual power in her dantian.

Beneath Bai Rou's weak appearance, she had a fiery heart. She didn't want the other party's dirty hands to stay on her any longer and wanted to commit suicide immediately.

But what frightened Bai Rou was that after the other party's big hand grabbed her throat, she couldn't even bite back.

After losing Bai Rou's spiritual control, the red light in the eyes of the three long-armed giant ape puppets below quickly faded, and the attack also stopped. They were knocked to the ground one by one by the claws of the "White Incandescent Demon Tiger". At this time, Bai Rou's desperate voice rang in her ears, and a foul smell sprayed to her nose, making her want to vomit.

"What do you want to do? Let me see what you just swallowed, hehehe..."

Teng Wuji said this while his hands moved as fast as lightning. He gently applied force with his left hand that was on Bai Rou's neck, and Bai Rou's mouth opened involuntarily, revealing a pill that was about to lose its spiritual power between her tongue.

Teng Wuji laughed obscenely, bent his left arm into his arms, and brought Bai Rou's whole body in front of him. His other hand had already left the "Soul Absorbing Bottle" hanging in the air.

A finger as dry and black as a dead branch stretched out into Bai Rou's mouth...

Li Yan entered a red space. His body was surrounded by red light, which was like ten suns overhead. The moment Li Yan entered, he felt dry mouth and tongue.

It was as if everything inside his body had been evaporated in an instant. Even his spiritual energy was surging in his body like boiling water, eager to break out of his body. What frightened Li Yan even more was that his consciousness began to become confused without any change.

The temperature here was far higher than the scorching heat he had experienced in the Fire Palace of the "Northern Dark Demon Suppression Tower". In just less than a breath of time, he was already drowsy, and his soul seemed to be melted by the sun and turned into a wisp of air and disappeared.

But somehow, Li Yan felt as if there was still a force in his body that helped him to suppress the heat, but this force was very weak and seemed to disappear in the next moment.

Li Yan had always been strong-willed. While he was half asleep and half awake, he knew deep down that he was in danger. He bit the tip of his tongue subconsciously, and a sharp pain first swept through his entire brain, waking him up.

Then, Li Yan took advantage of a moment of clarity and managed to raise his consciousness to check his body. What made him feel relieved was that the force that had originally wrapped around his body had subsided and his body had regained its freedom.

Li Yan instinctively took a deep breath, and immediately a stream of air that seemed to melt his internal organs entered his abdomen, almost making Li Yan faint from the pain.

But as he inhaled this breath, the spiritual power in his body, like boiling water, was finally suppressed a little, and Li Yan did not dare to breathe anymore.

In just a moment, a large amount of water mist continued to rise from Li Yan's body, and his originally sturdy body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Yan didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly tried to call on his magic power to protect his whole body. However, to his horror, although the spiritual power in his body had regained its freedom, it was completely out of control.

As soon as Li Yan moved his energy a little, the spiritual power that had just calmed down suddenly broke out of his body and ran rampant throughout his body like a flood that broke through a dam.

Li Yan resisted the urge to faint again and bit down his tongue again. Taking advantage of the brief moment of clarity, Li Yan hurriedly immersed his consciousness into the purple organ in his dantian.

Li Yan didn't care where he was at this moment. If he was not mistaken, there was a weak force in his body that seemed to resist everything here.

He kept repeating "that power, that power..." as if only this could remind himself what to do even in a daze.

He didn't know where this strength came from. A drowning person will grab at even a straw. This is an instinct of any living thing.

The moment Li Yan's spiritual consciousness reached the purple organ in Dantian, it became weak again, and his consciousness was rapidly declining.

Li Yan knew that the heat here was too overbearing and he could not hold on for too long. However, through his blurred consciousness, Li Yan saw a strange phenomenon in the purple organ of his dantian, which made him happy.

Li Yan hurriedly forced himself to practice the Guishui Sutra and guided it according to the Five Elements Method. To his ecstasy, after just a moment, he felt his consciousness rapidly becoming clearer.

The spiritual energy in the body gradually calmed down, and there was no longer any feeling of the three souls and seven spirits dissolving.

Li Yan did not dare to be careless. While he kept practicing the Guishui Sutra, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness from his body and hurriedly checked the situation outside.

The first thing Li Yan saw was his own body. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At this time, he had lost almost 70% of his flesh and blood, and his skin had begun to crack.

The skin on many parts of his body had already fallen off, revealing dry blue-black veins, like earthworms exposed to the sun, lifeless. If he had been just one step slower, he would probably have become a dried-up corpse by now.

As soon as Li Yan's consciousness entered Dantian, he discovered something unusual. Among the five spiritual power cauldrons in his body cultivated by the Guishui Sutra, except for the fire spiritual power cauldron, there was also a weak spiritual power surging at the bottom.

In the other four spiritual power cauldrons of water, earth, metal and wood, the spiritual power was lifted up high like a wave, almost breaking out of the cauldron. And every time it was about to break through the top of the spiritual power cauldron, a force would forcibly suppress it and cover up the surging spiritual power a little.

Just this little bit of power saved Li Yan's life. The boiling spiritual power wave could never leave the cauldron, and only the spiritual power originally existing in the tendons and veins ran rampant in Li Yan's body. With Li Yan's strong body, the destructive power caused by the spiritual power was still insufficient.

The trace of spiritual power that saved Li Yan's life was exactly the fire spiritual power. However, as it was outnumbered four by one, 90% of the spiritual power in the fire spiritual power cauldron had been consumed.
