Each Revealed Their Extraordinary Arts

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

As he got closer, Qin Yi couldn't help but gasp.

The so-called Ghost Cry Vine doesn't seem like much from a distance, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that each vine is as thick as a person, and it's covered with various organ shapes, with countless eyes and mouths densely packed together, making it chilling to look at.

The vines exerted terrifying force with each twitch; even before seeing them, one could feel the surging power of the vines. Qin Yi doubted whether he would be bounced back if he struck them with his staff, or whether someone weaker would be whipped into a pulp by a single twitch.

If we consider it in terms of cultivation level, this Ghost Cry Vine is at least at the early stage of the Cloud Ascension realm, and might even be at the middle stage.

Add another pig of similar strength...

Then the craftsman's fellow apprentice released countless iron birds, which flew around different vines. The vines tried to lash out at the iron birds, but they nimbly dodged them. The iron birds intertwined and entangled with each other, and some vines even intertwined themselves.

Qin Yi secretly thought, "Well done! This fellow disciple is quite intelligent."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yin Yizhong and the pig were locked in combat. A phantom image resembling a wine vat trapped the pig inside. The vat was filled with the aroma of wine, and the liquid swirled around the pig with a powerful constricting force, as if trying to tear it apart. At the same time, the aroma of wine seemed to have some kind of intoxicating effect, as the pig's eyes appeared somewhat dazed.

Just as Yin Yizhong was about to deliver a finishing blow, a vine lashed out. He swayed as if drunk, and the vine grazed past his side. A Wine Gourd slammed down on him, smashing the vine to pieces.

"Zhen Yuanzhai... These two fellow disciples are quite formidable."

But in that brief moment of slowness, the pig broke free from the wine vat and roared as it lunged at Yin Yizhong with lightning speed.

Qin Yi couldn't even catch a glimpse of it pounce; it was too fast.

When Demon Beast fight in their true forms, besides their innate supernatural Divine Ability, their most important reliance is the strength and speed of their physical bodies, as well as their indestructible flesh and claws. This is the most primitive form of "war," and humans, whether in martial arts or Immortal Dao, have actually learned and adapted much from it, further evolving and improving upon it.

This ferocious beast, the Zhi, which has already reached the Cloud Soaring stage, is definitely more powerful than any disciple of the Immortal Palace Qin Xin could handle.

Even Qin Yi couldn't catch the speed, so Yin Yizhong was naturally no better off. He barely managed to dodge the Drunken Immortal Movement Method, but was still grazed by the force, leaving his lower abdomen a bloody mess.

The pig's tail swept in seamlessly.

Yin Yizhong thought to himself that he was no match for him, and was about to crush the jade stone when a Wolf Tooth Club suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bang!"

The Wolf Tooth Club clashed with the bull's tail, the sharp barbs stinging and drawing blood. The bull roared in pain, turned its head, and saw Qin Yi. Its tiger eyes widened in shock, and it turned and ran away in a flash.

Qin Yi was about to fight desperately, wielding his Wolf Tooth Club, when he was completely dumbfounded to see the ferocious beast's figure instantly retreat to become just a tiny dot.

So this really is the same pig that was knocked unconscious by Senior Sister Ju earlier?

A somewhat embarrassed voice came from Yin Yizhong: "Thank you for your help, Junior Brother Qin... otherwise I would have had to squeeze a stone."

As he said this, Yin Yizhong was also quite surprised. His cooperation with the craftsman Mo Wuzi was actually a tacit understanding; their purpose, to put it bluntly, was to jointly sabotage Qin Yi and prevent him from winning the championship. It wasn't that they had any personal issues with Qin Yi; it was just that Qin Yi had been too outstanding this time, and it was only natural for his classmates to Qi Ingestion and target him.

If he were Qin Yi, he would never come to save these two. They wouldn't die anyway, so wouldn't it be better to let them crush the stone and get lost on their own?

But then he came to the rescue. Doesn't he care that he might lose the competition because of it?

Qin Yi waved his hand dismissively, leaped up, and swung his staff at the Ghost Cry Vine.

The vines had already dealt with the craftsman Mo Wuzi's iron bird, and now countless tendrils were coiling around him. Once entangled, he would inevitably be devoured in flesh and blood.

Mo Wuzi stepped back and launched another robot puppet. Before the puppet could even perform any function, it was dragged away by vines, creaking and groaning as it instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal. At the same time, countless other vines entangled him, impossible to sway.

A Wolf Tooth Club swept through the air and collided with a vine. The tip of the vine was smashed to pieces by the Wolf Tooth Club, and Qin Yi was also struck by the force, flying backwards for a long distance before barely managing to stop on the ground, leaving long tracks on the ground from the soles of his shoes.

Mo Wuzi was also stunned. "Junior Brother Qin..."

"You all stand behind me and take precautions." Qin Yi took out his flute, and countless vines, like endless giant hands, rushed towards him.

With the flute at his lips, he suddenly burst forth with the song "The Heaven Collapse".

The layers of sound waves flowed forward rapidly like physical ripples. The terrifying shock of shattering and tearing was so powerful that you couldn't feel the energy, but the damage was real and even harder to defend against than direct power.

Wherever the sound waves passed, those disgusting, enormous vines exploded like pieces of flesh and blood, then turned into dust and scattered in wisps.

Mo Wuzi exclaimed with delight, "Junior Brother Qin is amazing!"

Qin Yi said solemnly, "Be careful, even if you remove the vines above, they can still grow back!"

Everyone looked down and saw that the lower half of the vines was growing outwards as if flesh and blood were coming back to life. Qin Yi's sonic waves, however, had exhausted their power when they reached the lower part of the plant, as if there was some kind of protection at the root that could hinder Qin Yi's sonic attack.

"After all, it's at the Cloud-Soaring level... but ultimately it's just an inanimate object." Yin Yizhong took out a Wine Gourd and tossed it forward.

The gourd rapidly grew larger, soon becoming as large as a mountain, and crashed down with a deafening roar.

At the same time, Mo Wuzi pulled out a... cannon.

The black cannon barrel extended and was aimed at the roots of the vines.

They were all top disciples of the Immortal Palace, and once they were temporarily free from attacks, their counterattacks were immediately fierce and unparalleled.

"Boom!"

Heavy artillery roared, and it was unclear what kind of energy it was, but it struck the roots of the vines precisely, sending grass, trees, blood, and flesh flying everywhere, only to be quickly covered by the gourd-shaped mountain crashing down from above.

Already weakened by the combined attack of Qin Yi's sonic waves and Mo Wuzi's heavy cannons, the roots were finally unable to withstand the final, overwhelming blow. A deafening explosion rang out, the earth trembled, and vegetation and rocks scattered throughout the space.

Eventually, things calmed down.

A liquid resembling human blood oozed from the bottom of the gourd.

Yin Yizhong sighed and reached out to bring the gourd back. He could see the rotten roots below, which were still wriggling.

"That's a bit disgusting," Qin Yi said. "Senior Brother Mo, how about giving it another shot?"

Mo Wuzi smiled wryly, "Where would we get that much energy? I'd be badly injured if we used it even once."

Qin Yi stroked his chin, looking at the cannon, seemingly lost in thought.

Mo Wuzi laughed and said, "Junior Brother Qin is also interested? I knew you were interested in our craftsmen's skills. Why don't you join us? You'll definitely be the chief."

Qin Yi said irritably, "It's not like I'm not the chief now."

The two looked at each other and remained silent. There were only a few people in the arts of music, Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, and painting. You really are the chief disciple. Not only are you the chief disciple, but you might even have slept with the sect leader.

"Regardless, thank you very much for your help, Junior Brother Qin." Both men bowed and said, "We truly didn't expect Junior Brother Qin to be willing to lend a hand..."

"We're from the same sect but different factions, not enemies. Since you two can help each other, why am I being grouped against you?"

They both laughed awkwardly.

Qin Yi laughed and said, "I'd like to know how you got involved with that pig, and what's the deal with this Ghost Cry Vine?"

"It was my fault," Yin Yizhong said. "I went to check out the location of the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit as instructed by my sect. But when I got there, before I could even see clearly, a pig that was sleeping on the ground suddenly woke up... It chased me relentlessly, leaving me nowhere to run. I accidentally wandered into the area protected by the Ghost Cry Vine. It was Senior Brother Mo who happened to pass by and kindly helped me carry some of the load..."

Mo Wuzi asked, "Where did the pigs come from in the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit region?"

"Of course, I was led there by someone."

Both of them looked at Qin Yi, their expressions grim. "This is breaking the rules and harming your fellow disciples!"

Qin Yi said, "That pig was aimed at me, but I knocked it unconscious. So you should know who did it, right?"

Mo Wuzi angrily put away his heavy cannon. "I'm not picking anymore! What a load of rubbish! I'm going to ask those Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations! Have they no shame?!"

Neither of them were stupid. Even if the ferocious beast was targeting Qin Yi, and even if it killed Qin Yi, the beast wouldn't return to its place on its own. It would run into the other two sooner or later while rampaging outside. Zhou Yuncheng's original intention was definitely not to let any of the three go.

Yin Yizhong didn't say anything, tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, then walked away with a drunken gait. Qin Yi could see the anger in his eyes; he was the one who would be chased to the ends of the earth! Now that he owed Qin Yi a favor, there was no point in fighting over the fruit; going out to beat someone up was the real goal!
