For Jiang Si, it was indeed a miscalculation.
Of course he knew.
With his physical body at the peak of the "Half-Step Ninefold Flawless Golden Body" realm, coupled with his immortal power at the peak of the "Half-Step Full Blossom Golden Core Foundation Establishment Peak Great Perfection " realm, and his nascent soul at the peak of the "Half-Step New Sprout Peak Great Perfection " Nascent Soul, he finally broke through the realm of "Half-Step Ninefold Flawless Flawless Ultimate Golden Body Foundation Establishment Peak Great Perfection" and entered the Early Full Blossom, even though his Nascent Soul was damaged.
Facing seven full-fledged disciples is actually not easy.
So, Bai Mei was banned from participating.
Otherwise, if someone gets a chance to strike him twice with their sword, he probably won't be able to withstand it and will have to transform.
Bai Mei is well-versed in online literature, possessing vast knowledge and having read over 30,000 books by platinum authors. While she may not be adept at direct confrontation, she is also adept at cunning and underhanded tactics. She has no qualms about launching sneak attacks or using dirty tricks without any pretense of justification.
Sword cultivators should be open and honest, forging ahead without hesitation.
However, when dealing with unorthodox methods and stronger opponents, there's no need to stick to those rigid rules; just ask your ancestors to possess you!
This is truly a good student I've taught.
As for the other true disciples, Yumo was going to preside over the peripheral league. Although she was a little unhappy, among the true disciples, Yumo was the fastest and had the best tracking ability. She could arrive at any time if something happened.
In addition, there is the support of Blue Flower's other Eternal Magic Doll Dandelion, and a bunch of ordinary Magic Puppet Dandelion.
The sect division competition is in full swing, without any risk, and can even improve the skills of the sect disciples.
This is Bingtang's plan.
Kou can go, and so can I. There's no reason why only the Azure Cloud Sect Witch Association.
The Witch Association can also be used as trial subjects by the Azure Cloud Sect.
When it comes to matters concerning the sect's interests, Bingtang is unwilling to suffer any loss.
After Yumo left with a bunch of colorful Magic Puppet Dandelion, only Blue Flower and Shuangye remained as the true inheritors of Beihai's teachings. Jiang Si knew Shuangye's abilities better than anyone else.
Since the direction they were developing was proposed by Jiang Si, Jiang Si was also very clear about how to avoid being interfered with by Shuangye.
Simply use [ Ten Thousand Beasts, One Heart ].
As the innate method after the main body ascends to the Nascent Soul, it is not limited to controlling Calamity Beast.
By simply spawning a few Calamity Beast, one can separate a wisp of Magic Sense from the Nascent Soul and synchronize it with the Calamity Beast, thus anchoring one's perception of reality.
Then you can just bury them anywhere, big or small.
[ Ignorance Delusion ] -- An invisible veil is lowered between the target's perception and the facts, making the target "unable to see," which is called ignorance. Conversely, if even the caster cannot see the Calamity Beast, how can they influence it? The resulting misjudgment becomes the affliction of views and thoughts.
So there's no way to "see" the Nascent Soul within Jiang Si's body; with mind and spirit united, the Nascent Soul is another layer of protection.
Moreover, the Nascent Soul of an S-rank Calamity Beast Nascent Soul comparable to the Peak Full Blossom Realm, which is far beyond the reach of the two little girls at this moment.
Therefore, the only solutions are Bingtang and Blue Flower.
The two, Bingtang Blue Flower, are not in a hurry to break through to the Full Blossom. Even though they are completely comparable to the Full Blossom in terms of technique and related abilities, they are ultimately limited to the New Sprout.
Having already broken through to the Full Blossom of the [half-step ninth level flawless and leak-free ultimate golden body Foundation Establishment Peak Great Perfection ], dealing with two New Sprout shouldn't be a problem...
"Boom!"
The terrifying purple magic brought a strong sense of being pushed back in my seat.
The rampaging power stirred up a tsunami of dust, obscuring visibility and causing the chaotic magic to rage, making it impossible for Magic Sense Lock-On.
Jiang Si rolled several times before regaining her balance, and then noticed that the Complete Witch had also flown over. She reached out and pulled her back, only to find that half of Xilan's body was gone.
Fortunately, even if the Complete Witch's body is destroyed, she can recover, as long as the Grief Seed remains...
The Grief Seed have also shattered.
Although he was still breathing, his heart hadn't stopped beating.
However, the Complete Witch has lost the Grief Seed, and with such a severe injury, she is basically finished.
Bingtang Tang's shot was aimed directly at the Complete Witch.
With a sigh, he grabbed the still-alive Xilan and scrambled to hide behind the mottled courtyard wall.
The abandoned courtyards nearby weren't damaged much by the roaring magic— Bingtang's control over magic wasn't much worse than hers.
Jiang Si patted her pockets, looking pained.
" The Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, you're truly blessed."
He pulled a Grief Seed from his pocket and pressed it onto Xilan's head.
Of course, the Grief Seed of the Complete Witch is not the Grief Seed of the Calamity Beast; in fact, their specific structures and magical properties are slightly different.
But it doesn't matter, he has already memorized the structure and magical properties of the other party's Grief Seed.
Here, we'll rely on his emergency medical and alchemical skills.
Simulating the magical flow of Xilan's Grief Seed, when the Grief Seed started functioning again on the Blood Cross mark between her brows, her previously empty and lifeless eyes gradually regained their vitality.
Excellent, the emergency alchemy technique has been a great success.
Immediately afterward, a large amount of Filthy Magic Power began to replenish his damaged body. After a brief pause, Xilan began to gasp for breath and even started to retch.
Tears welled up in Xilan's eyes from the stimulation, and she clung tightly to Si Motu.
Although her near-death experience was somewhat hazy, she had noticed what the other person had done, and now, her voice trembling, she said, " Si Motu, thank you..."
A surge of emotions welled up within me.
She clearly heard what treasure the other person used to save her, and she felt both moved and impressed!
There's never been any sense of saving comrades in the Witch Association. Most Witch Association believe in sacrificing their own lives for their friends, especially in a near-fatal crisis like the one just now.
Xilan was certain that no one else in the Witch Association would be willing to save her!
Even if it's a second version of yourself, it's the same!
"Brother, from now on you are my second parents, Xilan's second parents. If you tell me to go left, I will never go right. If you don't mind, I'm willing to give myself..."
She wanted to express her gratitude excitedly, but the words caught in her throat and she couldn't say them.
A small shadow fell over my head.
Looking up, I saw the purple-gold magical girl standing gracefully on the mottled courtyard wall.
The wind rustled through the courtyard, which had been deserted for a long time. Her skirt and purple hair fluttered in the breeze. The girl looked down at them, her voice indifferent and cold.
"Are you done talking?"
Jiang Si grabbed Xilan and threw her forward!
The magic spear pierced through the spot where Xilan had just been standing!
The immense impact sent Jiang Si flying, tumbling twice before crashing into a nearby, long-abandoned high-voltage power tower.
The steel frame creaked and swayed, and several electrical wires snapped and crackled, sparking blue electrical discharges.
Jiang Si rolled over and got up. The next second, Shion was already in front of her.
With his head tilted slightly, a faint smile appeared on his breathtaking face.
"Give it your all, you said that yourself."
The small hand gently pressed against her face, and then Jiang Si felt an unstoppable, terrifying force that carried her into the air!
So this is what it feels like on the other side...?
With that thought in mind, he clenched his right hand, which was now wearing brass knuckles, and punched Shion in the chin!
Her pretty, delicate chin was slightly raised, and the brass knuckles brushed along her chin as Jiang Si grabbed her face with his other hand!
Both of them exerted force simultaneously, slamming each other's foreheads hard against the support of the high-voltage power tower!
More sparks flew up above, power lines swirled wildly, and the high-voltage tower tilted and began to fall downwards!
Shion had already let go and was trying to create distance, but Jiang Si was not about to let her have her way.
There is a fundamental difference in magical power; once the gap widens and a contest begins, this side has absolutely no chance.
He knew her body best.
With one hand gripping the toppling high-voltage power tower, Jiang Si's eyes flashed with ferocity. He grabbed the tower and slammed it down on Shion in the opposite direction!
Purple magic erupted, and the petite magical girl kicked away the oncoming high-voltage power tower. The broken supports scattered on the ground, kicking up dust and making a loud noise.
However, just as he was about to retreat, while gathering magic in his spear...
The boy wearing a fox mask was already right in front of him!
The spear he was holding in his right hand was instantly grabbed by the opponent, who then pulled hard!
The originally stable and pure magic power instantly began to fluctuate after being disturbed by the Filthy Magic Power!
A violent explosion of magical energy engulfed the two of them. Shion was the first to fly out, her magical armor on her right arm gone, revealing her fair little arm.
It's impossible to imagine how those tiny arms could unleash such terrifying power.
Before he could even gather his magic and unleash a spell, Jiang Si had already burst out of the explosion once more!
Although a corner of the fox mask was shattered, it still properly concealed the boy's appearance.
Wearing brass knuckles, her right hand unleashed a series of jabs at an imperceptible speed toward her face. Shion dodged with ease while attempting to gather magical energy to counterattack.
However, Jiang Si reacted too quickly. While her right jab was delivered without any pause, her left hand was always able to catch her movements as she tried to gather magic power, inserting Filthy Magic Power at the right moment and thwarting her plan.
This tactic is useless against Jiang Si himself.
Because Jiang Si can perfectly control Filthy Magic Power after transforming.
However, it is quite effective against the Magic Puppet Shion Bingtang.
Even Bingtang hadn't expected Jiang Si to go this far.
In her view, she had already won by taking out the Shion Magic Puppet; she had an absolute advantage, even if Jiang Si possessed the ability to control Filthy Magic Power.
In terms of magical power and other aspects, the gap between it and the Shion Magic Puppet is enormous.
Unexpectedly, it was suppressed...
As expected of Jiang Si, she always manages to do things unexpectedly, no matter what.
Bingtang had gotten used to it; Jiang Si always managed to do things that others couldn't understand.
"However, it's a real pity, the gap is still too big."
Jiang Si's pupils contracted slightly, and her right hand, which had been attacking like a tidal wave, faltered for a moment before she looked up.
Purple fingers had silently materialized above his head.
It was pressed down with a bang!
With the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger, the right knuckle duster fired a bullet, but before the bullet arrived, the right fist had already reached Shion's face before the bullet could reach it!
The moment Shion reached out and caught the fist, the bullet grazed her cheek!
The next second, the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger pressed down from the sky!
The magical shockwave spread in all directions, and Xilan, who was hiding in the abandoned courtyard, was instantly sent flying. If she hadn't managed to grab onto a roof beam along the way, she didn't know where she would have ended up...
The crystal ball in Si Motu's arms fell and shattered instantly upon being hit by the blast wave.
Looking up in a daze, the purple magical tide that rippled outwards like waves was finally fading away.
Among them, Si Motu was embedded in the wall further away, and it took him a long time to pry himself out of the wall.
Her trench coat had several tears, making it drafty and no longer fluttering as stylishly as before.
But on the other side, Shion looked even more miserable.
On her fair, delicate arm, a purple liquid flowed, resembling blood, but thicker and more like magic.
While the rest of her magical armor remained intact, a small scar appeared below her left eye on her flawless face.
The scar was very, very small, yet incredibly glaring.
Just like a priceless work of art, a few scratches ruin its exquisite beauty.
To have even the slightest scar on that face would be a tremendous desecration.
Silently, Shion gently wiped the wound on her face with her index finger:
What did you do?
Jiang Si gave a cold laugh, "You haven't forgotten that I was the one who taught them the Ignorance Delusion, ' have you?"
When faced with someone far superior in status, there's very little that Ignorance Delusion can do. Basically, if it's Bingtang herself or Shion herself, she can't have any influence at all.
However, Bingtang manipulating the Magic Puppet is a different matter entirely.
The transmission of magic is not always real-time or perfect, and perception and cognition through Magic Puppet will have a certain delay.
The space for the Ignorance Delusion to maneuver is vast; this invisible veil is perfectly suited to be placed between the Magic Puppet and its manipulator.
As long as, at the very end, there's a slight shift in Bingtang's perception of magic, including a misalignment of time and space.
Even the slightest difference can decide the final outcome...
That was originally what I wanted to do.
But Jiang Si admitted that she still underestimated her Magic Puppet.
Even the direct impact of the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger, which contained Filthy Magic Power, caused negligible damage to Shion.
All I can say is that the scene was quite spectacular.
But in reality, it didn't cause any substantial harm at all...
In terms of boss design, this machine can be said to be based on [the previous design].
It feels like it could be placed in the God Gate of Enir-Ilim, a famous and beloved tourist spot in the Land of Shadow, which comes from the Infinity Scriptures.
"Forget it, I've never beaten you before anyway."
Bingtang murmured something, manipulating the Magic Puppet, and revealed a gentle smile.
"But even for Magic Puppet, getting its face injured is still unbearable."
For a moment, Xilan felt a little suffocated.
It was as if something in the air had frozen.
The next second, Si Motu, who was not far away, suddenly rushed over!
He grabbed her by the back of her collar and ran frantically into the distance!
Because she was facing Shion, she could clearly see a small lotus flower rising from the purple-gold magical girl's hand.
A blend of ice and purple, a two-tone lotus flower blooming like flames, slowly rose into the air.
It's getting bigger and bigger!
Shion breathed slightly, her smile faded, and her face showed signs of fatigue.
"What a pity, I've only practiced up to this level for now."
Please inspect the product.
Buddha's Wrath, Fire Lotus!
The light, flawless Fire Lotus sways rhythmically, resonating with my heartbeat.
The edges of the quietly rotating petals subtly distorted the space, swallowing the surrounding light and sound, and then—
The moment it landed behind us, the dazzling aurora borealis engulfed the entire world!
Xilan lost consciousness again.
They stared in disbelief as the eastern district outside Beihai City was transformed into wasteland by the Fire Lotus.
It even affected many high-voltage power towers, causing power outages in a section of the eastern part of the city.
The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau acted swiftly—though it's hard to say whether "swift" is accurate now that the battle is over, they got to work anyway.
Blue Flower also saw Keke's younger sister.
Hearing the sirens and the sounds of the Civil Engineering Brigade vehicles outside, Blue Flower took a breath. "Lord Bingtang, is this really alright?"
Bingtang simply smiled slightly, "I believe in him; he can overcome these obstacles."
Looking at the half of the sky that had been burned to a deep purple, Blue Flower hesitated for a moment but said nothing.
To be honest, the sect leader actually fought the Shion Magic Puppet's substitute hand-to-hand with her at close range and even gained the upper hand.
It's truly quite awe-inspiring to see Blue Flower.
She made the Magic Puppet herself, so she naturally knew Magic Puppet power. This version is quite close to the original.
With the addition of Bingtang, who is extremely familiar with Shion, personally controlling it, it can be said that it has about 70% to 80% of the original's combat power.
As a result, the sect leader was actually able to suppress him in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat without transforming...
Later on, will the Sect Master be able to defeat them all without transforming?
While collecting the Shion Magic Puppet, Bingtang Tang asked, " Shuangye, did you see it clearly? How did the Sect Master use the Ignorance Delusion?"
Six Leaves peeked out from the mourning hall of the Azure Cloud Sect next door:
"I see! Lord Bingtang, the Sect Master is far too cunning!"
"So all our interference turned out to be useless..."
Four Leaves looked a little downcast. "I tried so hard, but it wasn't as good as what the sect leader used."
"Hmm, then, Four Leaves, I'd like to ask, since that magic spear didn't completely destroy the Complete Witch at the beginning, was it because the Sect Master used the Ignorance Delusion?"
Six Leaves immediately raised his hand, "Yes, Lord Bingtang, the Sect Master used the Ignorance Delusion to cause you to deviate..."
"No wonder I said the feel was off." Resting her chin on her hand, Bingtang mused, "During the battle, every time I gathered my magic, it was scattered..."
"It was the Sect Master who used the Ignorance Delusion to create your illusion. In reality, some of his interference with your magic power gathering was successful, but others he failed to do so. Even the Sect Master couldn't interfere with each of your magic power gatherings so quickly, but he made you believe that you were being interfered with, causing you to cancel it."
The battle was so fast that Shuangye didn't even have time to warn Bingtang.
Nodding, Bingtang remarked, "I never expected to fall for it from beginning to end."
Blue Flower, standing beside him, nodded repeatedly. "No wonder the Sect Master suddenly disappeared from my Magic Puppet army without me noticing! It turns out he used the Ignorance Delusion to interfere with Blue Flower. How despicable, Sect Master!"
"No, that's because you're too weak," Four Leaves said without hesitation. "The Sect Master never used the Ignorance Delusion ' on you."
"Ah, this..." Blue Flower immediately shook her head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Sect Master must have used it secretly, otherwise Super Blue Flower wouldn't have been defeated so easily!"
"It's no use."
"It must be Four Leaves who didn't notice!"
"No way!"
Looking at the noisy disciples over there, Bingtang smiled but didn't stop them.
He simply fell into deep thought.
The sect leader mainly used a spot from the Witch Association to enter the Mental Image Remnants.
Then I can use An Shiyu's key.
However, let's keep this for Jiang Si as a backup. If the Witch Association fails, An Shiyu can send him in.
Although Bingtang wanted to avoid leaving the two of them alone as much as possible.
But this matter concerns Jiang Si's promotion, so it cannot be taken lightly.
Just as he was considering whether he should find another way to enter the Mental Image Remnants.
I received a message from Susan.
"The headquarters suddenly contacted us, saying they wanted to cooperate with the Azure Cloud Sect!"
There will be one more chapter later, please vote with monthly tickets!
