A Fire Technique That Let the Weak Overcome the Strong

Whether a technique works or not requires testing by many people and confirmation of its effectiveness through practical application.

Obtaining the Nine Dragon Cauldron is important, as is verifying the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique.

During the assault on the imperial palace in Chang'an City, the group combined treasure hunting, combat, and testing tactics, and also employed some strategic methods to counter these tactics.

The Great Han Dynasty, which required the support of three great Sacred Land, was clearly not going to collapse just because of a single attack from the crowd.

However, the people of the Yedie River Holy Land were very satisfied with this result.

Everyone was safe except for Wutu, who was unconscious.

This means that their attacks on the imperial palace in Chang'an City are repeatable, and that the Great Han Dynasty will fall in repeated battles.

"What a pity about this hot potato!"

The attack test was quite successful. If everyone can adjust for two or three months, a renewed attack on the Chang'an City Palace will surely have an even better effect.

While causing the deaths and injuries of many high-ranking officials of the Great Han Dynasty and seizing the Great Han Dynasty's arsenal could bring enormous benefits, no one could bear the burden of the Emperor Qin's terracotta army. The land of the Southern Jambudvipa Continent also needed a powerful force to oppose the Emperor Qin.

Only through this back-and-forth struggle between the two sides can the surrounding forces profit from the conflict.

A large group of people gathered on the desolate mountain to discuss the matter, while others waited quietly, and some checked on Wutu's injuries.

As midnight approached, everyone felt a gentle breeze and saw the Daoist Lord's figure already on the reserved prayer mat in the center of the venue.

"Daojun!"

Many venerable ones stood up to pay their respects, while many Dharma masters bowed deeply.

"The Immortal Court's rhetoric is all bark and no bite... Oh, Utu has suffered a major blow?"

Just as Daojun was about to speak about what he had observed, his gaze swept over and he saw Wutu lying behind the group.

As a sacred land where talents from the Xiong State gather Yedie River Holy Land has never lacked geniuses. In recent years, Daojun has been giving lectures and cultivating more, and has gained a better understanding of the Sacred Land. He has even written down the names of some young geniuses.

He glanced at Utu with some surprise.

This is not the Sacred Land. There is a lot of infighting and competition within the Sacred Land, but there is more mutual assistance when they are out in the world. Many of the Venerable Ones are not useless and can ignore Utu.

The fact that Utu is still unconscious at this point means there must be no way to save him.

"Who has such ability to cause Wutu's cultivation to regress and his blood to attack his heart!"

Daojun's body gently landed on the ground, and then he reached out and grasped Wutu's right hand to perceive and understand.

"This condition is similar to Qi Deviation," Venerable Black Mountain said cautiously.

"Our current guess is that Wutu cast a spell and was subsequently hunted down by Xu Chang, which may have even affected his physical body," said Venerable Zhihuang.

"I didn't realize this Han Dynasty prime minister was so capable!"

Daojun nodded, took a pill from his sleeve and put it into Wutu's mouth, then measured Wutu's body with his fingers.

"Fire... fire... fire everywhere, so much fire!"

A trembling sound, as if his teeth were chattering with fear, escaped Utu's lips. His face turned deathly pale as he regained consciousness, and then he vomited hot blood.

Before Utu could continue speaking, everyone saw his pale face turn ashen.

"Someone is still cursing you from the source. What did you leave behind in Chang'an City?"

Daojun exclaimed in surprise.

His fingers moved with incredible dexterity, making a grabbing motion in the air, and a touch of purple light appeared in his palm.

Clearly, Utu's lucidity attracted attention.

"Wutu left the Snake Head Incantation poison in Xu Chang's body, and he must have encountered the source of the curse breaking, which triggered the backlash of the Snake Head Incantation poison," Hongku explained.

"The Snake Head Incantation is not difficult to cure. Just take two ounces of realgar, mix it with wine, and drink it. It seems that Xu Chang used his own body as a vessel to trace and investigate. This prime minister of the Great Han does have some guts," Daojun Outer Dao.

"Utu is no match for this person. Should we lend Utu a hand?" Venerable White Bone asked.

"This is not difficult!"

After understanding the situation, Daojun muttered a few words and then reached into his sleeve to take out a cloth book.

He flicked the wisp of purple light from his palm into the book.

"This spellbook of mine is quite a wondrous object. If I could take a strand of hair and stuff it inside, and then fill in the other person's name and date of birth, anyone below the True Self Realm would surely die. Taking a bit of his spell catalyst to cast the spell now would be a way to teach him a lesson!"

Daojun cast his spell slowly and deliberately, and as he spoke, he reached out and pressed down on the cloth book.

He pressed his fingers against the purple light, rubbing it back and forth until the light dimmed. Only then did the Daoist shake the spellbook, dispelling the purple light.

"His body is failing and he can barely hold on. The curse poison that backfired on Utu has subsided, hmm?"

Utu, lying on the ground, turned from ashen to rosy, indicating that the Snake Head Incantation poison that had been causing the backlash had subsided.

But Daojun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The curse subsided, severing its connection with Xu Chang, but Wutu did not return to normal.

After trembling for a while, Utu's body collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

"His acupoints were destroyed, his Law Power was completely gone, and his cultivation was ruined in an instant," Daojun said, frowning after touching Wutu's body. "It seems that some kind of curse was planted in Wutu's body beforehand, and it erupted when he encountered the backlash of the Snake Head Incantation poison!"

"Fire poison?"

Recalling what Utu had said, Venerable White Bone couldn't help but utter a sound of doubt.

But no one could answer Venerable White Bone, not even Daojun gave a definite answer.

Clearly, this young genius from the Yedie River Holy Land was a little lacking, failing to keep up with the pace of the older generation of powerhouses in their actions.

Wutu's cultivation level is sufficient, but his mentality and combat skills are lacking.

For Utu, when the weak attack the strong, if he fails to land a hit, he should flee far away. Utu should not leave such a threat to his opponent.

One wrong step could be fatal.

Although it's unclear whether Xu Chang used Technique Method backlash or some other treasure, Wutu is now useless.

"Send it back!"

Daojun sighed.

He waved to the crowd, signaling them to leave and return to the Sacred Land to recuperate.

"We are unharmed. Shall we remain here and await the next operation?" Hongku asked, bowing respectfully.

"The Immortal Court only sent one dragon. I feel they're probably waiting to reap the benefits," Daojun shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing for us to show our faces and charge ahead!"

"What the Daoist Lord says is true!"

"I was almost beaten to death, which is already giving Zhu Jiuyin enough face to explore. You should leave the Han Kingdom as soon as possible!"

Daojun waved to the crowd, creating a wisp of wind that drifted into the air, flying further and further away into the darkness.

"Even the Dao Lord's avatar was attacked?"

Who is that strong?

"Speaking of which, I encountered a Daoist priest named Li Shaojun in the palace. He slapped me with his sleeve, and I was stunned. Then someone chopped off my head. Was it this person who did it?"

"Isn't Li Shaojun some guy again?"

"I've heard he's a descendant of Daoist School, the founder of Daoism, and he's over 130 years old!"

"He's that strong?"

The venerable ones whispered among themselves, exchanged glances, and then realized that the Great Han Dynasty palace, which they had previously entered as if it were their own territory, now seemed to be shrouded in shadow. Their attitudes were no longer as casual as before.

Who knows if today's Utu will be tomorrow's Utu?

Immediately, everyone mounted their horses and headed north.

Hongku also mounted his horse, but he slowly followed at the very back.

"That flame, it must be that flame! This kind of Fire Technique is too outrageous—it's an underdog's way of defeating its superiors!"

His eyes held an unbridled fervor.

The flames released by Rong Tianding's spell looked weak, but they spread too quickly and were too strong when targeted, traveling a long distance and backfiring on Wutu's body.

The highly contagious Snake Head Incantation curse seemed to deliver the final blow, pushing Utu directly into the abyss.
