Yuanshun subconsciously turned to the side. The hatchet did not fly directly into the cave. Instead, it roared and was embedded in the stone wall outside, a full five feet away from the edge of the cave entrance.

The accuracy was off, very badly.

Yuanshun was stunned.

The broken spear hit his junior brother accurately just now. The force and angle were like a monk who had practiced throwing martial arts. But this short ax looked like a beginner.

Qin Tiexin was also very depressed at the bottom of the valley.

When the interception gun is released, every muscle in the body seems to have its own memory, from waist to shoulders to arms to wrists. It is indeed the Falling Star Spear technique that has been practiced countless times. Even if there is no spiritual power, you can use the power of the body to throw it out, but it is completely different if it is used with other Law Artifact.

Long weapons over five feet long are better, such as spears, long sticks, long knives, and long swords. The direction and force of throwing them are barely controllable in the hand. Although the accuracy and strength are much worse than that of the cut-off gun, they can at least be thrown into the hole and cause enough pressure on the people above.

But once you switch to short weapons, such as short axes, daggers, darts, and broken knives, your accuracy depends entirely on luck. Some of them can be thrown into the hole, while others can miss a few feet and be nailed into the stone wall next to them.

As he threw, he mentally recalled the key points of Falling Star Spear's power.

Falling Star Spear is the throwing martial arts he learned in the Flowing Cloud Sect. It helped him a lot in Wind and Snow Pass and hunted countless Devil Race. Falling Star Spear requires the whole body to exert force in a line starting from the waist and hips, through the shoulders to the arms and then to the wrists and fingers. He has used it countless times, and later on, even without the assistance of Divine Sense, his aim was basically stable.

Originally, one method was used to pass all methods, and the throwing effects were similar, but the items were different. However, after switching to other weapons, the feeling in his hands was wrong. He could only attribute this to his talent.

After I get out, I have to go to Imperial Dao Arts Workshop to see if there are any throwing martial arts that I can learn. One more move is a move.

But at this moment, the throwing of these long weapons is enough.

In the cave, although the spears and swords were not accurate, each one was more powerful than the other. These Law Artifact were originally thrown as weapons, and the materials were good. After being thrown back by Qin Tiexin, the force was even greater than when they were thrown down.

Seven or eight long weapons were inserted into the stone wall, and some hit the shield, making a deafening sound of gold and iron clashing. Just as the array mage was about to lean out from behind the bunker to set up a defensive array at the entrance of the cave, a long magic sword flew in diagonally from the entrance of the cave, and the tip of the sword flew past his scalp, cutting off a small amount of hair.

"Don't put the shield away! Keep blocking!" Yuanshun retracted into the depression of the stone wall and looked down at the gray-gold figure at the bottom of the valley who was still bending down to pick up things and throw them.

He felt that he was having an extremely ridiculous nightmare. Six Foundation Establishment Late Stage monks occupied the right location, a Spiritual Qi, a Law Artifact, and a bunker. They were condescending to launch an ambush on a one-armed man trapped at the bottom of the valley. After fighting for so long, not only did he not hurt the opponent's hair, but he was beaten back by the others and could not hold his head up.

Once Mingjue finds a way to climb out of those two boulders and has defenses behind him, it will be ten times more difficult to kill him than it is now. And Mingjue will find a way sooner or later. The physical quality is there, even without spiritual power, it is only a matter of time before he climbs two boulders more than one foot high.

Yuanshun gritted his teeth and took out a small bottle from the storage ring.

The bottle is porcelain white, with an extremely thin texture. The translucent bottle wall reveals a very light pink color under the dim spiritual light in the cave, as if something is seeping out from the inside of the bottle wall, with an indescribable and mysterious feeling.

The formation mage was holding his shield against the entrance of the cave. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the bottle in Yuanshun's hand, and his whole body froze. Several other monks also noticed at the same time that the air in the cave became quiet for a moment, and they could only hear the whistling of Law Artifact's breaking wind outside.

"Senior brother..." The array master's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by something inside the bottle, "You don't want to use this, do you?"

"That's it."

Heart-Burning Powder.

This is not an orthodox Buddhist elixir, it is an evil medicine confiscated when Golden Summit Temple destroyed an evil temple.

The monks of Naxie Temple refined this sinister powder by mixing evil flowers and plants with the incense of resentment, and disguised it as "Calm-Heart Fragrant Dew" to the outside world. It was specially used to assassinate the monks and violated all Buddhist precepts. Golden Summit Temple should have destroyed it when counting the seized materials., but the effect of Heart-Burning Powder is indeed too special. The effect against Buddhist monks is several times stronger than that against ordinary monks. In a place like Great Brahma Dynasty, it is definitely a rare killing weapon. In the end, it was secretly kept for production in case of emergency.

This time I came to the Myriad Stars Dynasty to carry out the mission, and I only brought two bottles of Yuanshun. I originally planned to use them to deal with the opponents Brahma Sound Valley and Bodhi Monastery that I might encounter when performing the mission of seizing "holy objects". I never thought that I would use them here to deal with a monk trapped at the bottom of the valley.

The main raw materials of Heart-Burning Powder are Desire Flower, incense ash and Drunken Zen Dew.

Desire Flower grows in a place where obscene obsessions accumulate. Its petals are bright red. The incense ash is the ashes of incense candles that have been contaminated with Buddhist scents for a long time. Drunken Zen Dew is fermented from rotten Buddhist fruit. The three are mixed and refined, and finally a very fine light pink powder is obtained. When exposed to heat, it volatilizes into an invisible light fragrance, which is flammable and soluble in water.

There are three stages after being recruited.

In the early stage, the whole body will be hot and dry, the mind will be in a trance, distracting thoughts will appear, and the rationality will gradually disappear, making it difficult to concentrate and use spiritual power.

In the middle stage, the limbs, muscles and bones become sore and weak, the spiritual energy is stagnant and solidified, and the strength cannot be raised.

In the later stage, his consciousness became dim and he gradually fell into coma and was at the mercy of others.

After waking up, my mind is weak, my cultivation level has dropped for a short time, and there are hidden dangers of desire remaining in the sea of consciousness. It will be very easy to practice Qi Deviation in the future.

This medicine has a miraculous effect on Buddhist monks. Most of the Foundation Establishment Realm's Buddhist disciples cannot really get rid of all distracting thoughts. They usually just suppress the distracting thoughts in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness and use Zen skills to maintain the surface purity. Once triggered by Heart-Burning Powder, those distracting thoughts that have been suppressed for decades or even hundreds of years will burst out at the same time, Heart Fire burning from the inside out, and in severe cases, they may even self-immolate directly.

"Hold your breath and take precautions."

Yuanshun poured spiritual power into his fingertips, and drew a very thin barrier Spirit Rune in front of him to separate himself from the air at the entrance of the cave. The other monks followed suit, each holding a shield. The monk raised the shield to the highest position, and the array master placed a simple airflow barrier at the entrance of the cave. Although it was not as smooth as before, but with the support of less than 10% Spiritual Qi in the cave, the simple protection was barely passable.

Yuanshun's right hand Hand Seals and his left hand threw the vial down hard. The vial rolled in the air and fell vertically towards where Qin Tiexin was.

In order to prevent being caught or blocked, when Yuanshun let go of the vial, Metal Arrow Technique, which was already prepared in his right hand, shot out immediately after. The golden arrow was not aimed at Qin Tiexin, but at the vial.

The vial fell to a position three feet above Qin Tiexin's head. The golden arrow arrived and hit the bottle accurately.

There was an extremely subtle crisp sound.

The porcelain bottle exploded, and the light pink powder scattered in the air, turning into a very light pink mist, and then turned into a colorless and invisible gas at an extremely fast speed.
