Qin Shu scattered the two skeletons, carefully guarding against attacks that might appear at any time in the surrounding blood mist.
At the same time, her consciousness gradually penetrated into the scarlet soil, trying to find other skeletons that might be hidden in it, or... the mastermind behind the control of these skeletons.
"Quite vigilant." The evil cultivator hiding in the dark thought to himself.
However, in front of his blood mist, it was useless to be vigilant.
This blood mist is mixed with his special spiritual energy that has been refined through sacrifice. This blood mist cannot shield his spiritual consciousness, but it can help him hide his traces.
Qin Shu searched around and gradually frowned.
She was quite able to hide it. Under the influence of the blood mist, her consciousness could still spread to a radius of five hundred miles. This was thanks to the big snake. It is impossible for ordinary monks to have such a long attack range, and it is impossible for this evil cultivator to control these skeletons five hundred miles away. He must be near him.
But...where is he hiding?
Qin Shu raised her head and scanned around her head again. The blood mist could not only affect her consciousness, but also her sight.
She calmed down. Since she couldn't detect it from a macro perspective, she could look at it from a micro perspective.
As we all know, blood mist is also made up of tiny blood beads.
The smaller the unit of blood beads, the more factors can affect it.
Whether it's the breeze, fallen leaves, or even a slight breath...
When she calmed down, the shape of the blood mist that was originally suspended around her became more obvious, and all the blood drop fluctuations were traceable.
But the strange thing is that she can detect several other skeletons hidden in the blood mist, but she still cannot find traces of the evil cultivator.
Maybe this person really has some hiding methods that are different from ordinary people.
Just when she was about to clean up the skeletons hidden everywhere, she suddenly made a new discovery.
She opened her eyes and looked up into the air.
Just now she saw clearly that a few drops of blood mist suddenly turned into two halves.
Without further ado, she took action instantly, sending a burst of spiritual energy in the target direction.
At the moment when the purple energy collided, she saw a slender thread.
Puppet master?
No wonder these skeletons, which were obviously newly dead and had no traces of sacrifice on their bodies, could still listen to him so much.
It turns out that everything is caused by these threads.
If this is the case, then there really is no need for a hammer anymore.
She took out the Zixiao White Jade Sword with her backhand and weighed it in her hand.
A sword seems not enough...
Xie Xiu, who was hiding in the dark, stared at Qin Shu's movements and saw that she had discovered the silver thread hidden in the blood mist. He was about to adjust the direction of the silver thread when he heard bursts of sound breaking through the air in the next moment.
Thousands of swords fired together.
This was the first time Qin Shu had used this move. If she hadn't already broken through the Nascent Soul stage, it would have been really difficult to control eighty-one swords at the same time.
Eighty-one swords penetrated the blood mist, and the colorful sword lights lit up at the same time. Not to mention the hidden silver thread, even the blood mist disappeared under the impact of the sword energy.
Although this trick is easy to use, it also has its side effects.
The colorful sword light burst out in an instant, and others thought some big treasure had been born here!
Qin Shu herself also knew that the commotion was big this time and a quick decision was needed.
Fortunately, her move broke through the blood mist, and the monk who was originally hidden by the blood mist was also exposed.
He turned out to be an old man with a stooped body. He looked very thin, which was very rare in the world of immortality.
Due to the nourishment of spiritual energy, not to mention monks here, even ordinary spiritual meters are two times larger than those in the mortal world. Such thin monks are indeed too rare.
Qin Shu had seen Lao Liu from the dwarf tribe before and knew that the dwarf tribe was not like this, so she made a bold guess.
Could this man have ascended from the mortal world?
If this is the case, it is indeed possible to become short if you miss the growth cycle.
However, there is almost no aura left in the mortal world, and the possibility of normal ascension is basically zero.
"It's quite capable." The old man in front of him said.
His voice was very strange, just like the harsh sound made when a door in disrepair is pushed open. Qin Shu subconsciously felt uncomfortable in her heart after just one sentence.
She calmed down and realized that he must have used some kind of sound attack. It was not a very clever method, but as long as there was a little interference during the attack, the effect would be significant.
Qin Shu had never liked this kind of evil cultivator and was not willing to talk nonsense to him.
She put away eighty of the eighty-one swords, leaving only one Zixiao White Jade Sword.
Only then did she realize that she couldn't control the little green sword in her dantian, so she pushed up the Zixiao White Jade Sword and made up eighty-one of them.
She made a hand gesture, and the sword intent enveloped her. The evil cultivator did not expect that this cultivator was actually a sword cultivator, and a sword cultivator who had understood the way of the sword.
It was obvious that the weapon she used when she appeared just now was a hammer, or are all the righteous swordsmen nowadays so good at hiding their clumsiness?
He sneered and moved his hand quickly, and he could see that the originally broken silver thread extended along his fingertips.
Following his movements, three more corpses suddenly rose into the air from the fallen leaves on the ground. Qin Shu frowned and quickly launched an attack ahead of him.
In the first move of the Vast Sword Technique, a sword light went straight towards the evil cultivator's face.
The evil cultivator quickly dodged, and the sword light cut half of his shoulder.
However, before Qin Shu could make her second move, the three corpses quickly shriveled up as if their energy and blood had been drained, and blood mist filled her body again.
This evil cultivator's movement technique is quite special. From a certain perspective, these blood mist are equivalent to his domain. In his domain, no one can detect his presence.
It's just that his blood mist is easier to break than the real domain.
Qin Shu formed a seal with her hands, and just as she moved, her expression suddenly changed.
"Escaped? Are you so cowardly?"
As soon as she loosened her hand, the mark that had just appeared dissipated.
She raised her eyes and locked them in one direction, and saw that her originally bright black eyes were gradually stained with purple. In the next moment, she chased the person in the direction of escape.
If she hadn't been more thoughtful, she might have actually made him run away this time.
She had been coveting You Zijin's thousands-mile tracking technique before, but she had no suitable reason to learn it from him.
So, she wondered if there could be a similar tracking method.
After spending so long in Chuan Gong Hall, she really found a few tricks.
This little trick can't even be called a technique, it's just a way to track your own spiritual energy.
After learning this, Qin Shu would leave a subtle aura behind every time she launched an attack. Coupled with the special nature of her purple aura, it was perfect for tracking at this time.
