Qin Tiexin stretched out his hands and pointed to the sky.
This movement was done very slowly. Under the pressure of ten times the gravity, every tiny movement required mobilizing all the strength of the whole body. The muscles in his arms stretched wildly, and the veins bulged under the skin like earthworms.
The four wolf fangs lit up with a faint cyan light on his wrist at the same time.
"Swish, swish, swish--!"
Five cyan wind blades shot out from the fangs, breaking through the heavy air and shooting straight into the sky.
The gravity in the corridor was too strong. The wind blades started to fall as soon as they shot less than a foot away. But the direction in which they fell was not to land vertically, but in an arc, like five crescent moons, slashing diagonally towards Cao Mu from a high place!
Cao Mu Divine Sense swept over and his expression suddenly changed.
Among the five wind blades, the intensity of three has reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage level! This is not the power that a monk in the Qi Refining Stage can activate - unless the wind blade string itself comes from Demon Beast of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
He suddenly reached out to Storage Bag with his left hand and grabbed a palm-sized brown wooden shield. The wooden shield grew long in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it became three feet in size. Wood Element aura flowed on the shield's surface, and there were tortoise shell-like patterns on the surface.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The three strongest wind blades struck the wooden shield first.
The wooden shield trembled violently, and the spiritual light flashed crazily. The first wind blade cut into the shield surface one inch, the second cut into the same position, widening the gap to two inches, and the third wind blade cut along the gap--
"Crack!"
The wooden shield cracked from the middle, split into two halves, and fell to the ground.
The remaining two weaker wind blades followed closely and slashed straight into Cao Mu's chest.
Cao Mu roared angrily, clasping his palms in front of his chest, the green shield glowed brightly. The wind blade struck the shield, making a harsh tearing sound.
"Pfft--!"
Cao Mu spit out Essence Blood, and the shield fluctuated violently, with dense cracks appearing on the surface, but it was not broken after all.
He staggered back two steps, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.
This kid... has such a trump card, he can actually endure it until now!
Look at Qin Tiexin again - after shooting five wind blades, he continued to walk forward without looking back. His steps staggered, his body swayed, and more blood dripped on the ground. Obviously, this blow also consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
But Cao Mu didn't dare to underestimate him anymore.
He stared at the back of Qin Tiexin, with murderous intent almost overflowing from his eyes. "I will kill you, I will kill you!!"
The voice was hoarse and stained with blood.
Can't wait any longer.
Cao Mu took out a crimson elixir from Storage Bag. The elixir had flame-like lines on its surface and exuded a scorching aura. He stared at the elixir, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes - it was a "gas elixir". After taking it, it could instantly stimulate the body's potential and increase spiritual power by 30%, but at the cost of it, it would cause a month of weakness afterwards, and the cultivation would even regress.
But I can't care about it now.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the pill into his mouth.
The elixir entered his abdomen and turned into a violent stream of heat, which instantly rushed into his limbs and bones. Cao Mu's face instantly turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead, neck, and arms all popped up, and his whole person exuded a dangerous aura.
"Ah--!!!"
He roared low, and the shield around him solidified again, and the light green light turned into dark red. The pressure brought by gravity was significantly reduced - it was not that the gravity had become smaller, but that his strength had temporarily surged, enough to resist.
Cao Mu took steps.
This time, it is no longer slow and heavy, but striding forward.
Ten steps, eight steps, five steps...
The distance between him and Qin Tiexin quickly narrowed.
Qin Tiexin seemed to be aware of the danger and wanted to speed up, but due to the serious injury, he could not increase his speed at all. The distance between the two people shrank from five steps to three steps.
A ferocious look flashed in Cao Mu's eyes.
But he was not carried away by his anger. After suffering several losses, he became wary of Qin Tiexin. This kid has too many cards, who knows if he has any backup plans?
Cao Mu stopped two steps away from Qin Tiexin and raised his left hand.
A poisonous needle, which is completely black and as thin as cow hair, condenses on the fingertip. The needle body is glowing with a dark purple light, and there are fine spiral patterns on the surface. It is extremely poisonous, and Foundation Establishment monks cannot survive even if they are hit by the needle.
"Go."
The poisonous needle shot out silently.
Qin Tiexin seemed to be aware of the danger behind him and wanted to dodge sideways, but his movements were a beat too slow.
"Pfft."
The poisonous needle sank into his back, just below his left shoulder blade.
Qin Tiexin's body stiffened and his steps stopped. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest - there, a dark purple spot was rapidly expanding.
He staggered forward two steps, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Not moving anymore.
Cao Mu did not step forward immediately.
He stood there, staring at Qin Tiexin's "corpse", while Divine Sense explored it with all his strength.
No breath at all.
The spiritual power fluctuation disappears.
Heartbeat stops.
Totally dead.
Cao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was filled with ecstasy.
Finally... dead!
This kid is so difficult to deal with. With his fifth-level cultivation of Qi Refining, he actually forced him, a Foundation Establishment monk, to take gas pills. But it doesn't matter, everything is over.
He will be able to get the tools to control the ruins right away, and then--
Greed flashed in Cao Mu's eyes.
The resources of the entire ruins, the places he hasn't had time to explore, and the inheritance this kid brought from the core hall... all belong to him!
He stepped forward.
Two steps.
As long as he walks to the corpse and takes out the control item from Storage Bag, he can relieve this damn gravity. Although he is relying on Blood Burning Pill to carry it, every time he holds on for a breath, the backlash will be heavier.
Take two steps.
Cao Mu suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness coming over him.
His eyelids were heavy and his mind was dizzy, as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights. He shook his head, trying to wake up, but the sleepiness was getting stronger and stronger, almost swallowing him up.
No.
This is...
He suddenly realized - he had been poisoned?!
When?
Cao Mu immediately looked inside himself. The movement of spiritual power in Dantian was obviously stagnant. A light gray air flow was mixed in the meridians at some point. Wherever the air flow passed, the spiritual power was scattered and his consciousness was blurred.
It's an ecstasy type of poison!
He bit the tip of his tongue sharply.
Severe pain came, the smell of blood filled the mouth, and the sleepiness receded slightly. However, the spiritual power was greatly affected, and the protective shield on the body lost the support of spiritual power and began to flicker violently.
"Crack."
The shield was completely broken.
"Boom--!!!"
Fifteen times the force of gravity pressed on me without any hindrance.
Cao Mu's legs went weak, and he was pushed heavily to the ground. His chest hit the ground with a dull sound. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes went black.
What's going on?!
When did you get poisoned?
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the "corpse" of Qin Tiexin in front of him.
Then, he saw a scene that made his soul tremble--
The "corpse" that was supposed to be dead slowly stood up.
Qin Tiexin stood up and patted the dust on his robe. Although his face was still a little pale, his eyes were clear and his breathing was steady. He didn't look like he was seriously injured and dying. The vital poison needle was still inserted under his left shoulder blade, but he didn't seem to care.
He turned around and looked at Cao Mu.
Cao Mu's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
That poisonous needle... didn't hit the vital point? Or did the boy use some method to deflect the poisonous needle away from the vital point. Instead, he used the poison attached to the poisonous needle - when he got close, he used some means to transfer the poison to his body?
No, the ecstasy poison is not my own natal poison...
Cao Mu's mind was in confusion.
Qin Tiexin No explanation.
He walked to a position two steps away from Cao Mu, stopped, and took out a pale golden talisman from Storage Bag.
The talisman was about the size of a palm, with a dark golden color. A miniature sword-shaped pattern was engraved on the surface, and fine runes were flowing on the sword. As soon as the talisman was taken out, a sharp sword intent emitted, making the surrounding air tremble slightly.
Cao Mu recognized this thing.
Sword Gang Talisman!
And judging from the aura emanating from the talisman, the refiner's cultivation level is at least Foundation Establishment Late Stage, or even higher!
"No... don't..." Cao Mu struggled to get up, but gravity pressed him to the ground, and he couldn't even lift a finger. Fear finally showed in his eyes, "Wait a minute... we can talk... I can give you the antidote... the poison of those people in the square..."
Qin Tiexin didn't listen.
He held the talisman with both hands, closed his eyes, and concentrated on injecting spiritual power.
In my mind, I heard what Luo Ling said when he handed the talisman to him:
"This sword talisman was refined by me personally. When activated, it can produce a sword equivalent to 70% of my power. Remember, Foundation Establishment Late Stage or less is basically unstoppable."
Two breaths.
The sword-shaped pattern on the surface of the talisman suddenly lit up with golden light.
Qin Tiexin opened his eyes and pointed the talisman at Cao Mu.
"Buzz--!"
A three-foot-long golden lightsaber shot out from the talisman.
The lightsaber was solid and real, with red-gold runes flowing along the sword's blade. Wherever the blade passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp hiss. The sword's intention spread like a substance, and even the loess walls of the gravity corridor were plowed with fine scratches by Sword Qi.
There was only despair in Cao Mu's eyes.
He wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
The lightsaber fell.
Inject from the top of the head and out from the crotch.
There was no blood splashing, no screams. Wherever the lightsaber passed, Cao Mu's body was split into two, and the cut was smooth and smooth, as if it had been cut by the sharpest knife.
The two halves of the body fell to the ground.
He cannot die any more.
Qin Tiexin stood there, looking at Cao Mu's body quietly, waiting for three more breaths to confirm that the other party was completely dead, and then let out a long breath.
He took out the Hunyuan Sect Leader's Order from his arms and thought about it.
The gravity in the gravity corridor returned to normal instantly.
"Huh..."
Qin Tiexin felt a lightness on his body, and the heavy pressure disappeared. He moved his hands and feet, and the broken ribs in his chest were still hurting, but it was much better than when he was holding on under gravity just now.
He stood there and was silent for a long time.
This is the most powerful enemy he has encountered since he became an immortal. A Foundation Establishment Early Stage poisonous cultivator, even if he just broke through and was suppressed by gravity, it almost killed him.
Edgeless has been lost, the black silk inner armor is completely broken, the wind blade string is exhausted, one sword gang talisman is used up, and I almost got a poisonous needle.
Only when all your trump cards are revealed can you kill your opponent.
Qin Tiexin made a fist.
Now he is not afraid even if he faces Liu Qing, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. But facing monk Foundation Establishment... the gap is still too big.
The gap in cultivation, the qualitative change in spiritual power, the overwhelming combat experience... everything is a gap.
