"You... don't even think about it!" This time it was really a matter of life and death. When he was previously trapped by Su Ci using magic skills, he was able to escape by relying on his comparable cultivation and Su Ci's unfamiliarity with the use of magic skills. But under the hands of the man in black, if he tried to use the same tricks he used against Su Ci, there was no chance of success.
"I advise you to stop struggling. You will die sooner or later anyway. It's better to give up resistance, don't annoy me, and leave a whole body to die with dignity." Faced with the domineering struggle, the old man in black clothes with the animal face completely ignored it. Obviously, according to Ba Xie's cultivation, it would have no effect on him at all.
"If you want me to be captured without a fight, just go ahead and dream!" Ba Xiang roared angrily, distributing all the little spiritual energy on his body. He actually moved his steps slowly and started walking forward.
"Oh? It seems that you have been in the Jiuli tribe for several years and your cultivation has improved a lot." The old man in black clothes with a beast face looked at Ba Xi's footsteps as if he were stuck in the mire, and smiled with interest.
"But... so what? Your cultivation is still too weak, and you are still a little far away from the realm of immortality. If you want to escape from me..." The old man in black clothes with a beast face shook his head contemptuously: "It is still impossible."
"Really...?" Ba Xie suddenly withdrew his spiritual energy and gathered it in his hand again, and his five fingers became golden, revealing the immortal weapon for which he was famous, the Sky-Splitting Burning Claw!
The old man in black clothes with an animal face was slowly sucking in the spiritual energy emitted by Ba Xi. Suddenly, the spiritual energy was blocked from upstream like a rushing river, and his body was involuntarily pulled by his own strength and staggered a few steps.
"That's it now!" At this moment, except for the right hand that turned into a splitting claw, the rest of the body was lifeless. Not to mention the spiritual energy, there was not even a trace of life, and it was no different from a dead corpse.
It turned out that Ba Dao had heard Mu Jingyu mention a few words and knew that the reason why the man in black could easily defeat powerful enemies even if his cultivation level was not much different was that he could continuously absorb the opponent's spiritual energy during the fight. . Use this opportunity to consume your opponent's strength and enhance your own cultivation.
That's why Ba Xiang pretended to mobilize all his strength and wanted to escape, luring the old man in black with the animal face to relax his vigilance, and then used only basic moves without any spiritual energy to sneak attack him.
In this way, Ba Xie's plan really worked. Taking advantage of the moment when the old man in black clothes with an animal face suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell towards him, the Split Sky Burning Claw and his body appeared in front of the old man in black clothes with an animal face.
There was a soft squeaking sound, and five claw marks scratched the face of the animal-faced old man in black. Although he dodged the killing move in time, claw marks penetrated his sleeve, and the broken sleeve on his right hand shattered and fell, revealing the clothes underneath.
"You!" Ba Xie, who succeeded in one blow, wanted to immediately attack again, but when he saw the original clothes of the old man in black clothes with the animal face, he immediately stood there, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief. In the end it all turned into anger, pain and disbelief!
"Now that you have discovered it..." The old man in black clothes with a beast face looked down at his arms, then looked up at Ba Xi with a complicated expression, and finally took off the beast mask on his face, revealing his true appearance. 33
"It seems that I won't be able to keep you alive today no matter what!" As soon as he finished speaking, murderous intent emerged.
Only this time, the animal-faced old man in black didn't hide the slightest bit of cultivation. At the last moment of the sound, the whole person actually passed through Ba Xi's body and appeared three steps behind him.
"Why...the man in black...why is it you..." Ba Xie's tone was full of unwillingness and disbelief. He lowered his head and saw that after the animal-faced old man in black passed through, countless meridians were broken, but no blood flowed out.
Obviously, the body that had just passed through Ba Xi's body was not the body of the old man in black clothes with an animal face, but the clone he had condensed with his spiritual energy. Not only was he able to kill Ba Xi with one blow, but he also absorbed all the spiritual energy in his body into his own body.
"I didn't want you to know." The old man in black clothes with a beast face turned around indifferently: "As a person who cultivates immortality, you should be able to understand that yearning for immortality, yearning to ascend to the immortal world, and gaining greater and stronger power is everyone's dream. Final wish.”
"I understand." Ba Xie interrupted the old man in black clothes with a beast face and said: "But why you! You have already reached the current state, and you are only one step away from crushing the void, why do you still..."
"Is it one step away?" The old man in black clothes with an animal face slowly shook his head: "In your eyes, one step is far away, but in my eyes, it is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth! If you can't use magic skills, Dharma, with the help of your aura,...if I want to fulfill my wish in my lifetime, it will be basically impossible."
Ba Xie felt that the vitality in his body was rapidly draining, but he still said unwillingly: "There are countless people who are cultivating immortals in Jiuzhou. You can absorb their spiritual energy! Why do you want to absorb my spiritual energy? Is it because... I am a child?" On the princess’s side…”
At this point, Ba Xie suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe. He could only breathe in but not out. A feeling of powerlessness surged through his body, and he fell straight to the ground.
He was breathing heavily, but the air that could easily be breathed into his mouth seemed to be blocked by something, isolated from his mouth and nose.
"Hey..." The old man in black clothes with an animal face walked to Ba Xie and squatted down. The familiar face from the past came close to his eyes. He reached down from Ba Xie's forehead, closed his eyelids, and said softly: "It's not just you. If my cultivation level cannot be improved to the level of breaking through the void in the future, in addition to the other strong men in Kyushu, even the spirits in Yaoming Palace will be eliminated."
"I didn't want you to know my true identity before I died, but in the end I was careless. Ba Xie, as the elder of Yaowei Palace, I hope you can understand my helplessness."
As the animal-faced old man in black raised his palm, Ba Xie completely lost his breath. The body quickly became cold, like a stone, no longer alive.
After confirming that Ba Xie was dead, the old man in black clothes with the animal face placed the jade silk in his hand next to his body, then stood up, put the animal mask on his face again, and finally tore off a strand of clothing from Ba Xie's body and wrapped it around his arm. I guarantee that no one will be able to tell my identity from my clothes like Ba Xie.
"I will keep this jade silk here. It probably won't take long for Mu Jingyu, Bian, Zhu Yan and others to find it here. Although the cultivation of the two Dharma Kings is high, they are not good enough for me to take it. At that time. Only by fully learning the Eternal Desolation Swallowing Art and raising my cultivation level to a level similar to mine can my cultivation level be improved rapidly."
It turns out that the reason why the old man in black clothes with a beast face stopped Han Yao and grabbed the jade silk was not for his own use, but to let Bi An and Zhu Yan get it so that their cultivation levels could continue to improve. Then look for opportunities to kill them.
As for Ba Xi... maybe at the beginning, the old man in black clothes with the animal face did not want to kill Ba Xi here. It just happened to be the right time and I thought I would get rid of him sooner or later, so I decided to take action at the last minute.
After doing all this, in order to prevent Mu Jingyu and others from noticing that the jade silk had returned here, the old man in black clothes with an animal face deliberately bombarded the entrance below, causing a loud noise to spread throughout the entire Weijiang Mountain.
Then he tidied up his clothes and circled the cave. After making sure that no traces were left, he quickly left Wei Jiangshan from where Ba Xie came.
At the same time, Han Yao and Su Ci used jade and silk as bait, and after escaping the pursuit of the animal-faced old man in black, they wandered around the maze-like passage in a panic.
But as luck would have it, the two of them went round and round and returned to a place not far below the cave. At this moment, it happened that the old man in black with an animal face solved Ba Xi and destroyed the crack again.
Looking at the countless rocks that were shattered into powder after the old man in black clothes with a beast face took action, Han Yao hid dozens of feet away and whispered: "Mother, Ba Xi is probably... dead. The jade and silk have been hacked. The clothes man has taken it away, should we go up and have a look?"
"No!" Su Ci flatly refused: "If he takes away the jade and silk, just take it away. At worst, the plan failed this time and failed to completely intensify the conflict between Mu Jingyu and the Jiuli tribe. There are plenty of opportunities in the future, so there is no need to take risks again. .”
"But..." Han Yao was still unwilling to give in: "Looking at the world, only the Jiuli tribe can break up with Mu Jingyu under our operation. Although others can also do it, the effect will be greatly reduced. The difficulty is also much higher. I'm worried..."
"Yao'er, why do you have to stare at Mu Jingyu?" Su Ci smiled mysteriously and said, "My mother didn't dare to confirm the identity of the man in black at first. After today's fight, she has already become aware of this man in black wearing an animal mask. The identity of the person has been confirmed without a doubt. As for the identity of the other person, I can also guess the identity of the other person very well. Let the two of them be free for a while, and you can obediently practice the skills I passed on to you. Sooner or later, you will replace me and Your father, take back everything that originally belonged to us!"
"Mom, is everything you said true?"
Su Ci lovingly touched Han Yao's forehead and said, "Silly boy, I can deceive anyone as my mother, but how can I deceive you?"
"I got it." At this moment, Han Yao was just like any child, nestling in his mother's arms: "Then let's go back to the temple now and continue practicing."
"Good boy, let's go."
Near the cave, as the animal-faced old man in black, Han Yao, and Su Ci left, there was deathly silence again. Apparently, Mu Jingyu and others are still chasing Elder Gu Li and the Withered Bone Demon Lord. I don’t know if they haven’t caught up yet or if they are fighting together.
Click, click, click, and the sound of slight footsteps sounded again in the empty stone path. Two figures flew cautiously from a distance. After realizing that there was no one else around, their footsteps began to rush.
When the two got closer, they discovered that the first one was in his forties, holding a medicine pestle in his hand and wearing a white robe unique to Yaowang Valley. He was the ancient man who was rescued by the Alchemy Demon after the death of the Medical Immortal. Sand empty. Behind Gu Shakong is a gray robe with elixirs painted with various medicinal materials.
"Uncle, they are all gone." It is not difficult to see from Gu Shakong's respectful expression that he has long since lost his hatred for the Alchemy Demon and has completely recognized him as his uncle.
He must have figured out the truth about the dispute between the Alchemy Demon and the Medical Immortal. Otherwise, as the great disciple of the Medical Immortal, how could he surrender to the enemy?
"Quickly go in and take a look." Dan Mo said in a deep voice: "Ba Xie was sucked out of all his spiritual energy by that person. If he cannot be treated in time, he will really be helpless."
"Okay." Gu Shakong nodded, jumped up from the place where the old man in black clothes with an animal face had enlarged it several times, took a few quick glances, and saw Ba Xi lying on the ground.
Reaching out and touching Ba Xie's wrist, Gu Shakong took a deep breath and said to Dan Mo: "Uncle Master, it seems that we are... a step too late. Ba Xie... I'm afraid he is hopeless."
"Get out of the way!" The matter was urgent, and Dan Mo didn't have time to be polite to Gu Shakong and pushed him away. First, like him, he checked Ba Xi's aura. After confirming that there was no life left, he moved his palms to Ba Xi's Dantian and Lingtai respectively.
"Uncle Master, how are you?" Gu Shakong looked at Dan Mo's expressionless expression, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether Ba Dao could be saved.
"How much do you know about the art of lifting souls with golden needles?" Dan Mo did not answer Gu Shakong's words, but instead asked him how his golden needle medical skills were.
"Nine times out of ten, I've mastered it."
"Okay." The Dan Demon immediately lifted up Ba Xie's body and said, "Immediately use the golden needle to hang the soul of Ba Xie to protect Ba Xie's remaining spiritual energy. Leave the rest to my uncle, Master."
Hearing the full tone of the Alchemy Letter, Gu Shakong was unwilling to waste a moment, poured out a bunch of things from the Qiankun bag in his arms, accurately took out a wooden box, and took out the ninety-nine and eighty-one gold needles inside, According to the golden needle hanging soul technique, it was inserted into the acupuncture points on the front and back of Ba Xie respectively.
The elixir demon was not idle either. After controlling Ba Xie with his spiritual energy to keep him in a sitting position, he took out several dark and foul-smelling elixirs one after another, stuffed them into Ba Xie's mouth, nose and ears, and finally put the remaining pills into Ba Xie's mouth, nose and ears. After crushing a few pieces into powder, spread them out and cover the spiritual platform, heart and dantian.
After doing all this, Dan Mo stared at Ba Xie and said, "We have done everything we can. Whether we can successfully save Ba Xie's life depends on his own destiny."
Some people died, but not completely...
