The Flower-Willow Battle: The Dao Rhyme Chapter!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A golden bell spans the sky, shimmering with Golden Light, and filled with the sounds of Buddhist chants, making it appear extremely extraordinary. Even the aftershocks of its sound can shatter rocks!
And this incredibly powerful Law Artifact shattered into pieces in the next instant...
A black spear, like a meteor, pierced through the bell and pinned a Qi Condensation Fourth Layer cultivator to death on the vast earth!
Dozens of figures darted and shifted amidst the poisonous clouds...
Every now and then, a vortex of Spiritual Qi would rise up, foreshadowing the fall of Qi Condensation cultivators. There were also giant creatures, dozens of feet tall, hunting in the sea of poison!
Led by Jia Fei, a group of more than ten cultivators continued to flee into the distance...
After that--
Following them were several Qi Condensation cultivators, one of whom wielded a jet-black spear, each strike carrying a trace of annihilation power...
Although extremely faint, it was like a single drop of water in a vast, boundless river.
Even with such a faint trace, it is still an existence that countless Qi Condensation cultivators cannot touch, as long as they can sense even a Dao Rhyme...
This is the cornerstone for achieving the Dao Foundation Realm!
Using this as Dao Foundation for breakthroughs, countless Qi Condensation cultivators have been stuck on comprehending a particular Dao Rhyme...
At this level, one can usually only rely on oneself.
Or perhaps one could find a high-level treasure and use it to comprehend the Dao Rhyme...
Just like Qin Lu, who possessed the Heart of a Wood Demon, he could use it as a foundation to comprehend the Dao Rhyme contained within, thereby achieving a breakthrough in his own cultivation.
Aside from a few exceptional talents, most Dao Foundation cultivator use other objects as a reference...
only--
Qin Lu is a bit more special. Mu Xin can not only comprehend the Dao Rhyme within it, but also directly use it as a foundation, and then further comprehend and strengthen the Dao Rhyme on that foundation!
Breaking through to the Dao Foundation Realm in this way is the most powerful method for forging the Dao Foundation...
Currently, Qin Lu has not yet comprehended the Dao Rhyme, and therefore cannot truly utilize the Dao Rhyme remnants within Mu Xin's heart, nor the various abilities he currently displays...
It's nothing more than passive enhancement!
Damn it!
"We can't run anymore! We outnumber each other; if we unite, we might have a fighting chance!"
"If we keep running like this, we'll be slaughtered sooner or later. We might as well take a gamble and seize a chance to survive!"
Jia Fei transmits his voice to others--
But all their efforts were in vain, and no one dared to linger even for a moment!
The reason is simple: if they listened to Jia Fei and stayed to fight to the death, the others would most likely just run away...
You can't guarantee that everyone will be willing to risk their lives with you!
Cultivators are human too, and humans have selfish desires. Who wouldn't want to be the one to escape? Who would willingly become a scapegoat for someone else?
If you ask him to speak, he'll say let's rebel together.
But when it comes down to it, he'll definitely be the first one to run...
That's the mindset I have.
This resulted in more than ten cultivators being relentlessly pursued and killed by a few individuals, during which the cultivator wielding the black spear made two more attacks...
This signifies the fall of two cultivators!
"Jia Fei!"
Let's fight together!!
The cultivator who was lagging behind, seeing that he was about to be caught, hurriedly called out to Jia Fei, showing a look of being ready to fight to the death...
Upon hearing this—
Jia Fei was moved. He slowed down and turned around to summon his Law Artifact: the Black Gold Coiling Dragon Staff!
But then, the cultivator who had been there earlier quickly fled far away, leaving Jia Fei behind and facing the pursuers from behind!
"Better to Death Dao a fellow Daoist than this poor Daoist!"
"I hope Fellow Daoist Jia will not take offense; I still have family members..."
"In the future, I will certainly erect a memorial tablet for Fellow Daoist Jia to commemorate his merits and ensure his longevity, which my descendants will worship day and night!"
That person spoke nicely.
But his escape speed was by no means slow; in fact, the moment others saw Jia Fei stop, they quickly accelerated and fled into the distance!
Now that the scapegoat has jumped out, if not now, when?
"You!"
Jia Fei gritted his teeth in anger, but he also knew that he was doomed to die...
The cultivator wielding the black spear vanished in an instant, arriving before them in the blink of an eye. Swift as a dragon, he thrust out his spear with ferocious speed!
Damn it!
"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Jia Fei channeled his Spiritual Power, exerting all his strength to swing his staff in a parry, but the outcome was decided in the brief moment of impact...
Thump!
A deep, metallic resonance resounded, and the next moment, the Second-Tier Medium Grade Law Artifact, the Black Gold Coiling Dragon Staff, shattered inch by inch right before Jia Fei's eyes!
Finally, it exploded violently, turning into countless fragments of iron and stone that shot out in all directions...
"How dare you!"
The black-spear-wielding cultivator praised him, then unleashed a spear that pierced Jia Fei's chest, instantly extinguishing his life force...
The entire exchange, from the very beginning of the fight to Jia Fei's death, took no more than five breaths!
But it was at this moment—
The monk with the gun froze, and blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth...
Several other cultivators who followed them, including three at the lower level of Qi Condensation, plummeted straight down, clearly poisoned!
The other two Qi Condensation Middle Layers cultivators also coughed up black blood one after another...
If they hadn't quickly regulated their breathing and suppressed the toxins, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack, with dark purple eye bags and pale, colorless skin!
"Poison?"
"We should have taken antidote pills, how could we be poisoned!"
One person had Divine Ability and seemed confused.
Meanwhile, the black-spear cultivator, relying on a trace of the Annihilation Dao Rhyme, continuously eliminated the toxins within his body, gradually clearing his mind...
"Wrong..."
"This isn't our poison. Someone else has mixed other deadly poisons into the Rosy Dawn Poison Sea, specifically targeting us!"
"Let's retreat first; that way, we can poison them without anyone knowing..."
"The opponent's cultivation level may not be much weaker than mine; they might even be an old monster who has comprehended the Dao Rhyme of Poison!"
The black-spear cultivator remained calm and composed, activating his Obliteration Dao Rhyme to create a barrier that enveloped the other two before finally catching his breath...
As for the three people who fell...
Looking at it now, it had long since decomposed into a pool of thick, stagnant blood, with no trace of the body remaining...
"You want to leave now..."
"Don't you all think it's too late?"
The sounds rose and fell, their origins and directions impossible to discern...
But that tone of voice is really infuriating. Just by hearing it, you can imagine that smug expression!
Subsequently--
Five figures slowly emerged from the poisonous cloud, and multicolored poisonous mist continuously flowed from their seven orifices and skin, enveloping the surroundings...
"Dead body?"
"Puppet?"
"Five puppets that have just entered the Qi Condensation stage are trying to deal with me? Fellow Daoist, are you being a bit arrogant, or are you underestimating me?"
The words had barely left his lips—
A giant worm suddenly burst out of the poisonous cloud, spewing emerald green and white-blue venom at it!
The black-gunned cultivator frowned deeply, channeling his Spiritual Power to create a barrier, only to find that the Spiritual Power was being corroded by the poison and couldn't hold it back at all...
