Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 15: Breaking the Formation
According to Gu Xiaoxing's idea, he could use the special green smoke produced by burning incense to help Du Siyu recover from some of her injuries. It would be best if he could also build an ethereal palace inside her body, so that her chances of survival would be much greater.
However, it seems that she has no cultivation base and has not been able to build the Piaomiao Palace. However, as long as she can recover some of her injuries and have the ability to move, it will be enough! At that time, she will stop the middle-aged man by herself, and she, Du Siyu, will quickly escape from the Spiritual Transformation Formation, recover her cultivation base, and cast a spell to ask for help from the sect.
This is life!
Originally everything was going just as Gu Xiaoxing had expected, but someone didn't know what was wrong with Du Siyu. She had shed so much blood and fought desperately for a glimmer of hope. The opportunity was clearly right in front of her. She only needed to leave quietly. Even if she was discovered later, she could still hold on for a while.
But what about her? She chose to attack ...
Gu Xiaoxing was furious, but facing Du Siyu's cold gaze, he became a little scared. He waved his hand and the burning incense not far away flew back to his hand. He endured it again and again, and finally said kindly: "Brother Du, I will block here, you go first, escape from the Spiritual Transformation Array, and ask for help from the sect. Only in this way can we survive!"
"Go together!"
Du Siyu looked at Gu Xiaoxing very seriously. She didn't ask what the burning incense was, nor did she ask him why he could practice cultivation. She just said three simple words.
Gu Xiaoxing was furious. If they could go together, he wouldn't have to fight to the death. He hurriedly said, "Brother Du, listen to me. I should be able to hold out for a while. You have a way to ask for help. Let's go..."
"enough!"
Du Siyu interrupted Gu Xiaoxing with a cry and said coldly: "I, Du Siyu, never owe anyone anything, let alone you! You want to use your life to exchange for mine, but I won't! If you want to go, we go together. If you want to die... humph!"
Du Siyu did not say the rest of the words, but just snorted coldly. Even in such a situation, there was still arrogance in her determined eyes, and her words were even more paranoid. Gu Xiaoxing was so furious when he heard it. The feeling of being unable to explain himself made him feel very uncomfortable.
Who wants to die with you? I will fight to the death and help you escape because I want to live!
However, before Gu Xiaoxing could continue speaking, the middle-aged man's voice was heard.
"Good! You are just a mere cultivator at the third level of Qi Condensation, but you have plotted against me again and again. Very good!" The middle-aged man's voice became extremely hoarse, as if he was suppressing endless anger. Muscles bulged under his red skin, veins popped out, and the flesh and blood slowly moved at the sword wound on his back, and the wound began to heal visibly.
This is physical cultivation, which is different from cultivators like Gu Xiaoxing who rely on external objects to improve their physical bodies. The physical cultivators who truly practice body-refining techniques have tempered their bodies and have strong recovery abilities.
The next moment, the middle-aged man rushed forward like a ferocious beast, letting out a tearing roar.
"I want you to die!"
The two men immediately responded as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Gu Xiaoxing rushed out first, holding a burning incense stick in one hand and a large knife in the other, and roared in anger: "Du Siyu, if I die because of you today, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Du Siyu said nothing, snorted coldly, and followed closely behind.
There was a gleam of blood in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes. At this moment, he had no choice but to fight to the death. Facing the huge hammer head-on, Gu Xiaoxing raised the burning incense and actually blocked it with one hand. As expected, the burning incense was very convenient to use. It seemed that using it increased his strength a lot. If he hadn't needed it to recover Du Siyu's injuries just now, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed when resisting!
The middle-aged man was stunned, and his hands holding the huge hammer were numb from the shock. The opponent's strength seemed to have suddenly increased several times. The burning incense contained a terrifying strange power, which gave him an unstoppable momentum!
Sure enough, this fragrance is weird!
While the middle-aged man was in confusion, Gu Xiaoxing had already chopped down with the knife in his other hand. His move was ruthless and decisive. "If you want me to die, I will kill you first!"
The middle-aged man had no time to dodge and punched out. The big knife was not burning incense and did not have that unstoppable force, so it was directly swept away by the fist. However, it was a magic weapon after all, and with the blessing of cultivation, it still left a blood mark on the fist.
The middle-aged man felt pain, but it was not over yet. Another long sword stabbed at him with a whistling sound, at a tricky angle and with great sharpness, going straight to his throat. The person holding the sword was Du Siyu.
Although Du Siyu's cultivation was suppressed, her body was not weak to begin with. After she recovered her mobility, she could still pierce flesh and blood with a sword, among other things. In addition, her combat experience far exceeded that of Gu Xiaoxing, so she seized the opportunity to stab with the cold sword, aiming directly at the flaw.
In a panic, the middle-aged man tilted his body and dodged the long sword, then kicked across, trying to kick Du Siyu away. Du Siyu was seriously injured and could not avoid the kick. Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing was there and blocked the kick with the same kick, but he could not withstand the huge force of the middle-aged man's kick. His body left the ground and inertia caused him to flip several times in the air.
Gu Xiaoxing was indeed a ruthless man. As he turned over, he gritted his teeth and swung the burning incense, hitting the middle-aged man's shoulder. The middle-aged man's center of gravity was already unstable at the moment, and the terrifying force bent his knees, and he was knocked to his knees. At the same time, Gu Xiaoxing also fell to the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body.
Du Siyu would not miss this opportunity. With a flash of cold light in her eyes, she swung her sword at the middle-aged man's neck again.
The middle-aged man 's face was extremely gloomy, with endless aggrieved and resentful expressions in his eyes. He had fallen into the trap of that brat once again, and there was no way to avoid this sword. However, at this critical moment, his face suddenly became ferocious, and he reached his hand into his arms, only to hear a "click" sound, as if something was crushed.
The next moment, violent spiritual power rose, and the long sword could no longer advance an inch. At the same time, above the sky, the purple light curtain covering the area turned into points of light and disappeared.
The Spirit Transformation Formation was broken!
Du Siyu's eyes changed, her cultivation was restored, and the long-lost feeling of power made her feel more at ease. The sword that had been stagnant suddenly shone brightly, as if it had broken free from its shackles, and rushed forward again, its might and power more than ten times stronger.
However, the middle-aged man did not dodge or evade. His body surface was glowing gray-black. When the long sword touched his neck, a clanging sound like the collision of metal was heard. The powerful air wave directly blew Gu Xiaoxing away, but the middle-aged man did not move at all.
So strong!
Du Siyu frowned, worthy of being a physical cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
The middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand and waved it. A raging strong wind blew like a rock, knocking Du Siyu back. An iron chain followed closely behind, instantly wrapping and binding her. Then, the middle-aged man floated up and tapped a talisman. The talisman flew away and turned into a bolt of lightning in the air, heading straight for Gu Xiaoxing.
Du Siyu struggled with all her might, but there was a flash of talismanic light on the iron chain, and the binding force suddenly increased. She was unable to break free for a while, and it was too late for rescue.
Gu Xiaoxing's scalp suddenly went numb. He could still pretend in the Spirit Transformation Formation, but now he could only roll and crawl to hide behind a big tree. With a loud bang, the thunder hit the tree and it exploded directly.
Gu Xiaoxing's scalp also exploded, and that feeling of powerless fear surged up again. At this moment, he didn't even have the qualifications to fight to the death. Facing an eighth-level Qi Condensation cultivator, he was like a fish on the chopping board.
The middle-aged man was murderous. He snorted coldly and shot out another lightning talisman. He hated Gu Xiaoxing so much, a mere ant at the third level of Qi Condensation, who had plotted against him time and time again. Only by blasting him into pieces could he get rid of the hatred in his heart.
"come over……!"
Suddenly, a dreamy voice sounded in the ears of the middle-aged man. The voice was full of charm, making people obsessed. It also seemed like some kind of order, striking the heart directly. The middle-aged man wanted to obey the order, but his eyes became dull, but the lightning talisman had been shot out by him, turning into a thunder that struck the earth.
“Wrong…wrong?”
Gu Xiaoxing sat on the ground, turned his head to look at the big hole behind him that was blown out by thunder, swallowed, broke out in a cold sweat, and then subconsciously looked at Du Siyu.
Du Siyu looked a little strange at this moment. Her pink pupils glowed with an enchanting light, and she had a pair of small fangs growing out of her mouth. She also had a big furry white tail swaying behind her.
"come over……"
Du Siyu spoke again, her voice was dreamy and captivating.
The middle-aged man floated slowly to the ground, looking blankly ahead, with a sense of struggle in his empty eyes.
It was this struggle that made Du Siyu frown and her face turn paler, but she gritted her teeth and spoke again.
"Untie..."
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man paused obviously, and the struggle in his eyes became stronger, but he finally raised his hand slowly and made a gesture, and the iron chain that bound Du Siyu loosened. At this moment, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he broke free from his confusion, and his hand gestures changed instantly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Du Siyu shook herself and broke free. She slashed with her sword, and the iron chain broke. Then, she took out a small bronze bell from her storage bag. The bell swelled in the wind and turned into a golden light curtain that instantly covered the middle-aged man, like a cage.
