Ling Xiao: I Only Use One Finger
Mosquito Daoist was eager to try it. For him, blood was a great tonic. Although the Nether Sea of Blood was full of filthy blood, the sheer quantity made it irresistible.
He had long wanted to refine the Nether Sea of Blood, but he had always been intimidated by Ling Xiao's power and dared not act recklessly.
But things are different now. He's reached the Primordial Taiji; how could he not even make decisions on such a small matter?
Thinking of this, Mosquito Daoist smiled and was about to open his mouth to suck in the Sea of Blood.
"Buzz..."
An invisible force surged forth, and Ling Xiao's figure appeared above the Sea of Blood.
"Mosquito Daoist, what do you want to do?"
He asked in a flat voice, his face expressionless.
Upon seeing Ling Xiao appear, Mosquito Daoist instinctively wanted to kneel down, but then realized what was happening.
"I've already mastered the Primordial Taiji, why would I need to be so servile?"
After calming down, the Mosquito Daoist simply cupped his hands in a light and unhurried manner, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"I have just broken through to the Primordial Taiji, and my cultivation is not yet stable. I need some nourishing substances to stabilize it."
After speaking, Mosquito Daoist put his hands behind his back, referred to himself as "this humble Daoist," and his status changed instantly, as if he could now speak to Ling Xiao on equal terms.
"Although the Sea of Blood is filthy, it is indispensable to the Primordial World; you cannot touch it."
Ling Xiao spoke with an unchanged expression, seemingly unaware of the change in Mosquito Daoist's attitude.
This behavior made Mosquito Daoist feel that Ling Xiao was beginning to be wary of him and didn't want to cause any further trouble.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared on his gaunt face, "Since the Dao Venerable has spoken, then I will Sea of Blood."
"But who will make up for the nutrients I'm lacking?"
"How about you give me some divine medicine, Dao Venerable, to replenish my depleted body? If that's the case, I naturally won't covet the Sea of Blood."
Mosquito Daoist spoke calmly, a strange smile playing on his lips.
"Nutrition..." Ling Xiao sneered inwardly. This damned mosquito was really too arrogant, daring to extort even from him.
"I do have a miraculous medicine, but it's not for you. If your cultivation is unstable, then stay here and cultivate properly, and don't have any other thoughts."
Ling Xiao's voice was grand and majestic, his eyes filled with authority.
Mosquito Daoist's smile froze, and he felt somewhat displeased. This was showing him absolutely no respect!
Thinking of this, he suppressed his smile and said calmly, "What the Dao Venerable says is quite right. However, I have only just broken through to the Primordial Taiji and still have many shortcomings. I would like to ask the Dao Venerable for some guidance."
His voice, though soft, was incredibly loud, almost echoing throughout the underworld.
In the Netherworld, Qiangliang slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, "Damn, this guy wants to spar with Ling Xiao?"
"Having just mastered the Primordial Taiji, he already wants to challenge the authority of the Dao Venerable. This mosquito is a ruthless one." Houyi and the others nodded, saying with amazement.
They were all astonished by the Mosquito Daoist's courage.
After hearing Mosquito Daoist's words, Ling Xiao's face showed a strange smile, "How do you want me to give you guidance?"
"Simple," the Mosquito Daoist said decisively, "How about we have a friendly spar, stopping short of a full exchange?"
"You want to spar with me? Have you thought it through?" Ling Xiao's smile widened as he stood high in the sky, looking down at Mosquito Daoist.
"Of course! Please grant my request, Dao Venerable!" the Mosquito Daoist shouted, his voice echoing in all directions.
Instantly, the heavens and earth trembled.
Many powerful figures and a group of Primordial Origin Sage turned their gazes toward it.
What did they hear?
The Mosquito Daoist actually wants to challenge Ling Xiao.
It was just a friendly sparring match, but it was clear that Mosquito Daoist's ambitions had been exposed.
Mosquito Daoist's true intentions are obvious to everyone.
After achieving the Primordial Taiji, he was unwilling to be subordinate to the Dao Venerable.
"Good heavens, is the position of Dao Venerable about to be shaken?" someone exclaimed in surprise. Since the last battle, Ling Xiao had not made a move.
No one knows his exact strength.
The fact that Mosquito Daoist rushed to Primordial Taiji in such a short time is enough to prove his terrifying and unique abilities.
Perhaps he really could contend with the Dao Venerable, provided that Ling Xiao doesn't borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao.
"The Mosquito Daoist could never be a match for the Dao Venerable. In my opinion, his so-called sparring is just a test, an attempt to see the difference between himself and the Dao Venerable."
"Given the speed at which Mosquito Daoist is progressing, even if he can't defeat Dao Venerable now, he might catch up in no time."
One expert analyzed that Mosquito Daoist had ulterior motives. The reason he said it was just a friendly spar and didn't break off relations was because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to defeat Ling Xiao and would have no room for maneuver.
In fact, that's exactly what Mosquito Daoist thought.
In truth, he didn't intend to defeat Ling Xiao, given that the opponent possessed numerous powerful and rare treasures.
Even if we can't win, as long as we play well and show our style, and if we're lucky enough to make Ling Xiao suffer a small loss, then we've gained a lot.
At that time, he will be seen differently by all living beings in the Primordial World.
This is a battle for a change of status; he must prove himself to the world.
A fighting spirit ignited in Mosquito Daoist's eyes. He had already spoken, and he wasn't afraid that Ling Xiao wouldn't agree.
Just as he expected, Ling Xiao did agree. In fact, his presence here was also to find a reasonable excuse to completely subdue Mosquito Daoist.
This is a rare and valuable henchman; killing him would be a waste, so we must recruit him.
"Since you've made this request, then let's get started."
Ling Xiao put one hand behind his back, raised the other hand, and held up one finger, then laughed:
I'll point at you with one finger.
One finger?
Mosquito Daoist was stunned, looking at the one finger Ling Xiao had pointed at him, and felt somewhat uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
That's so ironic!
Immediately, filled with rage, Mosquito Daoist roared and attacked, a world-destroying aura emanating from his palm.
This is a great supernatural power, the original inherited power of the Mosquito Daoist.
Every now and then, the Netherworld trembled, nearly collapsing. Ling Xiao released the Chaos Green Lotus to guard the Netherworld.
Faced with the Mosquito Daoist's terrifying offensive, Ling Xiao remained unmoved, simply pointing out a finger in a straightforward manner.
From his fingertips, a vortex of laws emerged, forming a unique domain that expanded outwards.
"Boom..."
As their fingers and palms met, a terrifying power erupted, causing Mosquito Daoist's expression to change drastically as an astonishing force surged through his arm.
Then his entire arm exploded, bursting into a cloud of blood mist.
He roared and revealed his true form, a mosquito the size of a star appeared, swooping down and hurtling straight towards the Ling Xiao.
That sharp, long beak is the sharpest weapon in the world.
Ling Xiao remained unmoved, still maintaining the posture of carrying his arm behind his back with one hand.
Only when Mosquito Daoist rushed in front of him did he slowly and deliberately make a move.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion.
With a flick of his finger, Ling Xiao severed the long beak, which was even sharper and harder than Innate Supreme Treasure, into seven or eight pieces with a snap.
"Ah!" Mosquito Daoist was both shocked and furious, letting out a scream that shook the universe.
Ling Xiao remained expressionless and struck again, casually slicing off everything superfluous on the giant mosquito's body with a flick of his finger.
"Wait... wait... that's enough, I admit defeat!"
"Please Dao Venerable, show mercy!"
The Mosquito Daoist screamed in agony and immediately knelt down.
