Astral Dou Qi Impervious to All Techniques
"Eh, that was all it took? Don't tell me I beat him to death?"
After Xiao Lin dispersed the Stellar Hand Seal, he saw the mysterious man lying motionless in the crater.
In truth, Xiao Lin had not used power beyond the Nine-Star Dou Spirit realm just now.
Still, there was a four-star gap between them. Coupled with the Stellar Hand Seal's power, which had reached the level of an Earth Rank low-level Dou Technique, it was only natural that he could instantly defeat the other party in one move.
One had to know that among the various nations of the Northwest Continent, the strongest cultivation methods and Dou Techniques possessed by empires of average strength generally only reached the Profound Rank high level.
Take the Misty Cloud Sect and the Jia Ma Royal House of the Jia Ma Empire, for example.
Though the Cloud Empire was slightly stronger than the Jia Ma Empire, it had not surpassed the category of an empire with average strength.
Therefore, people from the two empires generally had never seen an Earth Rank Dou Technique.
The Stellar Hand Seal was a derivative Xiao Lin had created while developing the Star Codex.
After all, a Dou Technique had to be paired with a cultivation method to unleash its greatest power!
"Tap, tap~"
Seeing that the mysterious man had not moved for a long while, Xiao Lin approached him and nudged his body with his foot.
"Cough, cough~ Urgh!"
Stimulated from the outside, the half-dead mysterious man immediately spat out a huge mouthful of blood.
Fragments of internal organs were mixed within it.
Even though he was not dead, he clearly no longer had any ability to resist.
If left unattended, he probably would not even last half an hour before dying.
"Hey, can you still talk?"
Looking down at the miserable state the man was in, Xiao Lin asked.
"I... urgh."
However, the moment the other party opened his mouth, he spewed another mouthful of blood mixed with bits of internal organs.
Xiao Lin: "..."
He had clearly held back. How had he still beaten the man half to death?
It could only be said that Xiao Lin had underestimated the power of an Earth Rank Dou Technique.
In fact, this was only because the other party had reacted at the final moment and used a Dou Qi armor for defense. Otherwise, what Xiao Lin would be seeing right now would probably be a puddle of flesh.
Even so, the man's internal organs had all ruptured, and who knew how many of his bones had been broken. He was only barely hanging on with his last breath.
"Fine, it seems you won't even get the chance to say your last words. What a pity!"
Although he said that, there was not the slightest trace of regret on Xiao Lin's face.
After all, whether this man lived or died made little difference to him.
What he truly needed was only the man's body!
Well, that was only the surface meaning.
However, perhaps Xiao Lin's words had truly angered him. Even as he continued vomiting blood mixed with internal organs, the mysterious man still trembled as he forced out a sentence.
"Xie... Xie Shan, Sect Master... won't... won't let you go..."
After saying that, this person whose name Xiao Lin did not even know died on the spot.
Yet the information he left behind before dying made Xiao Lin frown slightly.
"Xie Shan? If I remember correctly, that fellow should be the sect master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in the Cloud Empire, right? Why did this dead man say Xie Shan would not let me go instead of saying Mo Ya would not let me go?"
Xiao Lin muttered involuntarily, pinching his chin with his right hand.
Soon, a possibility flashed through Xiao Lin's mind.
"No way... Could this dead man not have been one of Mo Ya's people, but someone from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the Cloud Empire?"
At this possibility, Xiao Lin not only showed no fear, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
If he had only been fifty percent confident that his plan would succeed before, then after learning that this dead man belonged to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the Cloud Empire, his confidence in its success had risen to over ninety percent!
The remaining ten percent was reserved for accidents.
"Since this guy was from the Cloud Empire, then if nothing unexpected happened, he should have been a poison master, right? No wonder he could casually pull out poison, and even his final Dou Qi armor glowed with a faint purple light..."
After learning that the dead man was a poison master from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the Cloud Empire, many things could be connected.
How else could Mo Ya, the Grand Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire, have contacted people from the Cloud Empire? He must have had someone from the Cloud Empire by his side.
Thinking about it, such a grave matter as treason could not be entrusted lightly even to a confidant.
After all, if that confidant turned around and sold him out, who could he seek justice from?
Therefore, the person contacting the Cloud Empire absolutely could not be one of his own!
That way, even if the matter was exposed in the future, he would at least have some room to argue.
However, since this dead man was a poison master from the Cloud Empire, this was undoubtedly tremendous news for Xiao Lin.
As for the threat he left behind before dying?
Heh. It would be one thing if Xie Shan did not come looking for him, but if he truly came knocking, Xiao Lin would not mind making sure he never lived to see the original storyline begin.
Of course, killing the man before him had also brought Xiao Lin another piece of good news.
His Astral Dou Qi seemed somewhat impervious to all techniques.
When the dead poison master from the Cloud Empire had thrown that poisonous pill at him, the Astral Power emitted by his Stellar Hand Seal had annihilated the toxic mist before it even came into contact with it.
Clearly, Astral Dou Qi restrained Poison Dou Qi!
In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, besides the common attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and ice, Dou Qi also possessed relatively uncommon attributes such as light, darkness, poison, and blood.
There was no saying that any of these Dou Qi attributes was inherently stronger or weaker. It depended only on the user.
However, poison and blood were exceptions.
Why were these two Dou Qi attributes exceptions?
Because when Dou Qi of these two attributes encountered an opponent that did not restrain them, their users could often fight above their level.
But once they encountered a counter, they could easily be defeated by someone below their level instead!
The attributes that most restrained poison and blood Dou Qi were fire and lightning.
Especially the former. When combined with Heavenly Flames, it was sometimes possible to fight someone an entire major realm above oneself!
Such were the advantages and disadvantages of these two special types of Dou Qi.
Now that Xiao Lin had discovered that his Astral Dou Qi could also restrain Poison Dou Qi, it was truly an unexpected delight!
Still, delighted as he was, Xiao Lin had to continue carrying out his plan.
Afterward, Xiao Lin directly split the corpse in two vertically!
It was not that Xiao Lin was cruel and had deliberately wanted to do so.
It was merely necessary for his plan.
