Chapter 52 Kill
Chapter 52 Kill
The blood of the divine body was crystal clear.
Drops of water fell onto the surface of the strange stone, but Yuan Qingsu ignored them, still sitting quietly under the ancient peach tree, and continued to study the two ancient bronze lamps in the Bitter Sea.
As the divine blood seeped into the stone's surface, it was decomposed. A few primordial marks were absorbed by the holy spirit within the stone. However, because the divine body was only in its early stages of development, these primordial marks were not very strong; they were better than nothing.
Ji Haoyue waited until no more blood could flow into her body before her wound healed automatically, then withdrew her arm and let out a soft sigh.
"how?"
The Queen Mother of the West, adorned in her feathered robes, asked from behind, "What insights have you gained?"
"no."
Ji Haoyue shook her head and told the truth that while the gray-haired powerhouse Ji Jisi and Li Daoqing were talking and resolving their grievances, the Queen Mother of the West from Yaochi also came looking for her, hoping that Ji Haoyue could cooperate with her to water the holy spirit inside the strange stone with her blood, to see if she could have some connection with the holy spirit as Yuan Qingsu had said.
Yaochi will offer a Peach of Immortality to compensate Ji Haoyue for her loss.
Ji Haoyue agreed, and Ji Jisi did not object, so this attempt was made, but the results were obviously not ideal.
Li Daoqing stood aside and observed everything, remaining calm and composed with a faint smile on his lips. Only when it was time to leave with the Queen Mother of the West and the Ji family did he turn around and say meaningfully to Yuan Qingsu, "By the way, Qingsu, your master has come out of seclusion and should come to see you."
"it is good."
Yuan Qingsu opened her eyes and watched the group leave, their figures disappearing into the hazy mist and vapor of Yaochi.
After a while, a young man carrying a guqin on his back, whose face was even more handsome than a woman's, drifted in like a wisp of smoke and came to Yuan Qingsu's side, stopping a dozen meters away from the ancient peach tree.
"Qingsu, that's me."
Hua Yunfei's face was somewhat pale, and he spoke softly, as a wisp of black energy emerged from his body, landing and transforming into a figure in black robes. His voice was hoarse as he said, "And me, my good disciple, you have truly exceeded my expectations."
"master."
Yuan Qingsu's gaze shifted, landing on the man in black robes. Scenes of her encounter with him involuntarily flashed through her mind: "You actually dared to come here. There are quite a few living fossil powerhouses here."
"Hehe, this is just an avatar, and something big is destined to happen tonight. Even the powerful figures in Yaochi will not be able to overlook it."
The man in black robes revealed an aged face beneath his hood, his dark eyes staring intently at Yuan Qingsu, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Truly unbelievable, are you still my disciple? If I hadn't personally raised you, I would have thought you were a completely different person."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Let me tell you, Yao Guang swallowed Jiang Yifei tonight. You forced him onto a thorny path. Heh, but that's fine too. My Devouring Heaven lineage is all about competition. So I sent you Hua Yunfei. You can swallow him. Although he's still far inferior to Jiang Yifei, I will find you a few more powerful beings to compensate."
"You want to make divine embryos and demonic bodies compete fairly? That's not like you."
"Before, your talent was not outstanding, and I did need to use your demonic body to achieve divine fetus. But now, with the path Yao Guang has taken and your achievements here, there is no longer any distinction between demonic body and divine fetus. In addition to bringing you Hua Yunfei, I have come to teach you the 'Undying Heavenly Art'."
The man in black shoved Hua Yunfei, who was standing beside him, and pushed him in front of Yuan Qingsu. He continued, "Of course, in return, I hope you can extract some of the primordial essence from this rare stone and give it to me."
This is one of his biggest purposes for coming here!
Devouring the holy spirits nurtured by the Jade Pool Holy Land for tens of thousands of years, even if it's just a portion of their essence, would be enough to make his demonic arts advance significantly!
The man in black robes shouldn't have said this so soon; it didn't fit the rules of a deal. But he did anyway.
dong dong dong...
His heart pounded in his chest, and the emotions and desires that had been suppressed in his heart in the past were particularly strong today, making the man in black speak very quickly. However, when he repeatedly examined himself, he found no divine magic or curse.
Everything stemmed from his true heart and original intentions.
"The matter of the Holy Spirit is of great importance. If it is disturbed, it will immediately alarm Yaochi. Master, why don't you teach me the Undying Heavenly Technique first?" Yuan Qingsu said calmly, his [Primordial Heart] throbbing incessantly, as if an invisible hand was stirring up the greed on the other side, making those existing thoughts even more intense and even taking the lead.
"No rush."
The man in black robes gave Hua Yunfei another push, suppressing his greed, and sneered, "You devour this demonic body first, then we'll talk about other things."
After all, he was a powerful expert at the peak of the second level of the Sendai realm. At the critical moment, he would maintain his mental clarity and would not recklessly give out the Undying Heavenly Technique without seeing anything.
"Yunfei is too weak and needs to be nurtured," Yuan Qingsu said, shaking her head.
"Alright, since you have feelings for this kid, I won't force you. But I must remind you that both the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art emphasize severing emotions and desires. Only in this way can you avoid being influenced by the external source. With your temperament, it will be difficult for you to win against Yao Guang."
The man in black robes looked around and said in a deep voice, "The defenses of Yaochi are indeed very strong, but there are no secrets in the world. Quickly extract a wisp of holy spirit essence for me, and I will bring imperial weapons to rescue you in the future."
"The Holy Spirit is the Son of God, how can His essence be easily extracted? Master is making things too difficult for me."
"Qingsu, don't be ungrateful. You have to give me the Holy Spirit's essence today, whether you like it or not!"
The man in black sneered, upholding his bottom line of adhering to the Undying Heavenly Art scriptures, and letting his malice run rampant, "Do you really think you can rebel against me by killing Jiang Rui in Yaochi? You'd better cooperate with me obediently. I have high hopes for you; you will definitely be able to replace Yaoguang in the future. But if you insist on opposing me, hehehe..."
"how?"
"Everyone has a weakness. I heard that a newly initiated female disciple in the Holy Land is particularly fond of you. Before I came, I secretly observed you carefully and discovered that you actually possess the [Celestial Spirit Eye]. Isn't that exactly the great elixir we need in this world?"
The man in black robes looked down at Yuan Qingsu, trying to find any panic or anger on his face, but there was none. All he saw was the boy's indifference, which made him even angrier: "And Yao Xi, although she is the Holy Maiden of the Holy Land, it's not a big deal to replace her..."
call--
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking. In the silence, the wind and clouds surged. Hua Yunfei stood between the two, staring blankly at the ninety-nine dragons coiled in the sky, their heads bowed, their dragon whiskers seemingly real yet illusory, as they fluttered and cut the black-robed man into pieces.
The man in black robes screamed in agony, "Aaaaah! Damn it! You actually dared to attack me! Stop! You bastard, don't you want to live anymore? And that [Ancient Sacred Body] you befriended in the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven... I know everything about you..."
"Master, you're being too noisy."
"You don't want the Undying Heavenly Power anymore? We can talk some more!"
"The Undying Heavenly Technique? That's nothing."
Yuan Qingsu slowly rose from under the ancient peach tree, raised her hand and waved it, completely obliterating the black-robed man's avatar.
Watching the figure that had been a nightmare to him be erased, Hua Yunfei couldn't help but ask, "Qingsu, aren't you... worried about what you're doing? Your junior sister, and the Holy Maiden..."
"No one can threaten me. Besides, you don't think everything will be alright if I give in to them, do you?"
"So what should we do now?"
"Kill them!"
Yuan Qingsu walked out step by step, leaving behind a detached voice that lingered in Hua Yunfei's ears: "Kill the master first, then kill Yao Guang. Don't think too much about it. There are many complicated situations in this world. The simplest solution is to solve the problem of the person who created it."
"...It really is true." Hua Yunfei's face was blank as he followed his retreating figure, stumbling and falling behind.
