Chapter 96 "Scaring Mosquitoes"
Chapter 96 "Scaring Mosquitoes"
To Li Changshou...
This Heavenly Immortal Realm old dao, controlled by blood mosquitoes, indeed appeared quite composed in the general sense. When he saw the five people below, with only two true immortals in terms of strength, this old dao still let the roc demon scout ahead... When they were all mesmerized along with the roc demon, this old dao unexpectedly summoned a magic weapon from afar and tentatively struck with a blade, even killing the roc demon without hesitation...
Unfortunately, this old dao still couldn't stabilize the situation.
If this Heavenly Immortal Realm old dao had remained in the air, not giving Li Changshou a chance to ambush; Li Changshou might have been forced to reveal his true form and quickly kill this person.
But this person... with just a slight provocation, descended from the sky, unaware of the principle of 'avoiding the forest, not entering', and directly pursued...
Stability over a hundred miles, ruined by impatience; stability over a thousand miles, lost due to negligence; this Heavenly Immortal Realm blood mosquito puppet is both impatient and negligent.
In the forest, the three paper daoists hidden in the tree trunks with Wood Escape technique had been waiting quietly for a long time, ready to launch an attack at any moment...
Li Changshou's mind operated rapidly, controlling four paper daoists at close range, one fleeing, three lying in ambush.
Approaching the ambush circle, this Heavenly Immortal old dao seemed to sense danger, showing a hint of hesitation in his eyes...
Meanwhile, the Number One Divine Paper Daoist, flying close to the ground in the forest, spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura even more disordered, seemingly unable to hold on any longer.
This Heavenly Immortal old dao decisively chased after him, rushing straight to the edge of the ambush circle!
However, Li Changshou remained calm, deciding to play it steady and wait for the best opportunity...
Moreover, opportunities can not only be waited for but also actively created.
Li Changshou prefers being proactive to being passive.
The Number One Divine Paper Daoist flew forward for dozens of zhangs, suddenly turned around, showing a resolute expression, and rushed towards the Heavenly Immortal old dao, as if ready to fight to the death.
A hint of a cold smile appeared at the corner of the Heavenly Immortal old dao's mouth, and a dazzling light radiated from the antidote bead above his head; he conjured a treasure seal, lifted the spiritual treasure long sword in his hand, and slashed out a tens of zhangs long sharp sword light!
And for the sake of a quick resolution, Li Changshou had already decided to take a slight loss, to 'exchange one for one' with this Heavenly Immortal old dao.
——To use the Number One Divine Paper Daoist to exchange for the life of a Heavenly Immortal, it was indeed a loss compared to using poison.
The Number One Divine Paper Daoist dodged the sword light barely, but ignored the treasure seal that came flying at him; as the treasure seal was about to hit him, a slight smirk appeared on the old dao's face, and a wave of green ripples appeared out of nowhere around him...
Ambush!
The Heavenly Immortal old dao's mind was slightly startled, but he couldn't make any response and was enveloped by a wave of green water!
The old dao's primordial spirit was bound by the great formation, and his immortal body was completely immobilized.
[Trapping Formation: Verdant Water Prison]
Opportunity never waits!
The power of the miniature formation base was already limited!
Separated by a hundred zhangs, two more formation discs were sent out from the tree trunks, and the miniature formation bases attached to them immediately dispersed, forming a formation in an instant!
Three formations overlapped, but did not interfere with each other!
This kind of small-scale killing formation, which could only be used once in a short time and required meticulous adjustment hundreds of times for each use, was directly deployed by Li Changshou...
Countless cold lights flickered in the forest.
Innumerable sword lights shot out, slashing on the old dao's body!
A pool of black mud appeared strangely under the old dao's feet, and the green light from the bead above his head burst forth!
The old dao's numb face showed a hint of panic, his immortal energy barely surged out, trying to resist the surrounding attacks...
But just the first formation had already severely injured the old dao.
The old dao's immortal energy barrier and the immortal treasure robe on his body couldn't withstand even a breath's worth of attack and were torn apart by the chaotic sword lights.
For a moment, blood splattered everywhere; after the burst of cold light, the old dao was covered in scars, gasping for breath, already seriously injured...
Suddenly, a hint of obscure dao aura gushed out from the old dao's brow and spread rapidly throughout his body!
The old dao's eyes instantly became cold and vicious.
Mosquito Daoist?!
Eighty percent sure.
However, in such a situation, it had been considered before...
Li Changshou remained calm, following the plan step by step; three paper daoists directly emerged from the tree trunks, taking advantage of the fact that the trapping formation could still hold, and swiftly pounced on the heavily injured Heavenly Immortal old dao.
Even if you're a Great Luo Golden Immortal;
Even if you're a ruthless figure from the Primordial Era;
At this moment, with just a strand of divine thought, if this old dao is killed, even a clever woman would have no way to cook without rice.
In this instant, deep underground.
The sleeping Blue Spirit Emissary's vermilion hairpin faintly flashed with golden light, as if something inside wanted to burst out directly...
This vermilion hairpin was a simple treasure Li Changshou had refined two months ago and gave to the Blue Spirit Emissary, who liked it very much and refused to take it off even when sleeping.
In the forest, where three formations overlapped, the dao aura on the Heavenly Immortal old dao's body became more and more obvious, emitting a blood-red light that was brimming with powerful pressure!
But...
Snap!
A blood-stained palm struck from the side, the blood-red spell pattern on the palm radiating brightly, directly passing over the old dao's head and slamming onto the antidote bead!
The antidote bead was sent flying!
Losing the protection of this bead, the black water below immediately surged, engulfing the old dao's feet and calves in an instant...
Meanwhile, far away in Xiniuhezhou, Wenjing Daoist lay sideways on the bed, her brow furrowing lightly.
As Li Changshou had anticipated, she was too far away at the moment, only able to send a strand of divine thought...
But even so, she actually...
Failed?
Before Wenjing Daoist could withdraw her divine thought;
The three figures with different faces and postures had already surrounded the old dao, standing in a triangular formation.
Their movements were uniform, their right hands raised to point at their left wrists, while their left palms pushed forward!
In the palms of the three hands, there were fiery spell patterns resembling flames, all of which were ignited simultaneously.
The Samadhi True Flame, blazing with full force, immediately engulfed the old dao's figure in flames, and the old dao, who was already heavily injured in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, was instantly burned beyond recognition!
Li Changshou suddenly felt a movement in his heart.
Facing the Heavenly Immortal old dao head-on, it was the middle-aged Daoist paper figure who spoke, coldly stating:
"Humph! No matter what kind of demon you are, today you will be exterminated by this seat!"
With that, the three paper daoists all converted their immortal energies into Samadhi True Flames and crazily directed them towards the old dao; Because of the arrival of the Mosquito Daoist's divine thought, Li Changshou saved all the trouble, and the Samadhi True Flames directly melted the old dao's primordial spirit, turned his immortal body into ashes, and instantly evaporated the trace of blood energy within him.
Finally, the aura that made Li Changshou tremble in fear gradually disappeared...
In the darkness, Li Changshou breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not be careless, immediately proceeding with the follow-up soul-releasing ritual.
The words he just said weren't just random.
"Screw whatever demon you are", it was to hint to the Mosquito Daoist that he didn't know her background;
And intentionally saying 'this seat' was to set up a deception.
Li Changshou didn't know whether his words had any effect, but saying something was better than doing nothing at all.
Watching the few ashes drifting in the forest, Li Changshou couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless for a moment.
This...
It's only been a few years since I transcended tribulation?
I actually indirectly met with the fierce creature from the Primordial Era, the Mosquito Daoist, through puppets and paper figures.
The Primordial Era is indeed more dangerous than I thought...
Deep underground, the emerald hairpin gently swayed, embedding itself more securely in Ling'e's dark hair.
...
Failed...
She actually failed?!
Her Majesty's divine thought descended in person, yet she couldn't do anything and was burned to ashes directly?!
This seat? Who could it be?
Near Mount Ling, Xiniuhezhou, in a cave.
Wenjing Daoist suddenly opened her eyes while lying on the bed, her expression somewhat annoyed, and waved her hand.
"Get lost!"
The two maids kneeling beside her didn't even dare to breathe and quickly got up, bowing their heads and backing away.
Wenjing Daoist's gauzy skirt slid as she immediately sat up cross-legged, waves stirring in her heart...
Who is this person?
Just moments ago, she was watching the chaotic battle of the Thousand Immortals at the Door of Transcendence with great interest.
When Wenjing Daoist found out that the puppets she had summoned were already very weak, she naturally felt a bit dissatisfied.
Originally, the puppets should have been able to suppress the Door of Transcendence steadily, but inexplicably, they were about to be destroyed; Moreover, this scheme only caused some casualties to the Door of Transcendence and couldn't shake their foundation...
Although she was a little dissatisfied, she didn't care much.
After all, it was just a little trick that didn't take much effort.
As the frontal battlefield was about to collapse, Wenjing Daoist lost interest in watching further; With a slight movement in her heart, she wanted to see if the Heavenly Immortal she had sent to kill the disciples of the Door of Transcendence had already killed those disciples.
So, Wenjing Daoist shifted her attention to the old dao; Just as her gaze moved over, she saw the Heavenly Immortal old dao being trapped in the formation and bombarded by the killing formation...
How tragic!
How could the puppets she summoned be so useless!
Out of anger, Wenjing Daoist decided to control the old dao and take action herself.
As a result, before she could make a move, the divine thoughts just entered the puppet, and they were directly burned to ashes by the three 'True Immortal Realm' Daoists...
No, that doesn't seem to be a real living being. Could it be some kind of miraculous transformation?
The person behind this must be an expert too!
In front of Wenjing Daoist's eyes, the image of those flames appeared involuntarily.
This was the scene brought back by the divine thought, and for a moment, she couldn't suppress it.
Who is this person?
"Could it be someone plotting against the Cult of the Celestial Master like me, using puppets?" Wenjing Daoist snorted coldly, forcibly wiping away those images, her lips curling into a slightly enchanting smile.
This Door of Transcendence is becoming more and more interesting...
"Huh? Is it you?"
Suddenly, Wenjing Daoist's brows furrowed, and she heard a man's voice in her mind, strangely echoing.
The voice said:
"Even with a bit of the Tai Chi Diagram's power borrowed, I still can't figure out who you are. It seems that you belong to the Saints' faction."
Who?! Who's talking!
Wenjing Daoist's body trembled, her hands immediately unable to form the seal, blood light surging all over her body, directly extinguishing that voice.
But before she could figure out what had happened, her vision blurred again, and an extremely mysterious dao aura surrounded her body; In that instant, Wenjing Daoist suddenly sensed an emotion she hadn't felt in countless years...
Fear.
That purest fear from the depths of her primordial spirit!
In a daze, Wenjing Daoist seemed to see a mist, but at the same time, a water curtain appeared in front of her, blocking her figure.
She knew this was the manifestation of a divine phenomenon, and this water curtain was the divine art that shielded her divination.
As for this mist...
Wenjing Daoist couldn't see through it at all.
Outside the water curtain, within the mist, there was a figure distorted by the water curtain, strolling towards her.
Wenjing Daoist vaguely saw that this person raised his left palm, and there seemed to be two faint black and white auras in the palm of his hand, chasing each other endlessly, containing profound truths.
"Tsk." Wenjing Daoist heard that voice again, the other party always carrying a faint smile.
"Borrowing a bit of the power from Master's Tai Chi Diagram, I still can't figure out who you are. It seems you are a disciple of the Celestial Master Sect."
Through the water curtain, the figure of this person kept twisting and swaying, but Wenjing Daoist felt a chill in her heart.
At this moment, she seemed to be locked in by some kind of dao aura, completely unable to break free from this illusion.
Just then, the person outside the water curtain said gently:
"I am Xuandu, the eldest disciple under the Great Supreme Daoist of the Primordial Clear Virtue Sect.
Although you have maliciously schemed against the Way of the Celestial Masters, and your methods are despicable, because of the presence of the Senior behind you, I will temporarily spare you.
If you dare to offend the Way of the Celestial Masters again in the future, even if it's just this insignificant Door of Transcendence...
Your Senior Master behind you may not be able to protect you."
With that, the figure outside the water curtain chuckled lightly, and along with the surrounding mist, slowly dissipated.
Wenjing Daoist's vision flickered, and in an instant, she saw the situation inside her cave.
She looked down at her hands, feeling her own Tao;
They were all trembling uncontrollably...
...
Thousands of miles away in the northwest direction of the Door of Transcendence.
Xuandu, standing on the clouds with closed eyes, slowly opened his eyes.
"Senior Brother, how did it go?"
The old daoist beside him quickly inquired.
