Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 267 Physiognomy
Zhou Shoutai was not wrong. Gu Xiaoxing had indeed been using all his strength before and had not hidden his strength, but he was prepared!
Originally, destroying the Body Refining Sect and obtaining its resources was part of what Gu Xiaoxing had prepared for Zhou Shoutai. However, because he had deduced through the art of palmistry that the Body Refining Sect was the key to repairing Xu Qianxing's foundation, this matter was carried out ahead of time.
However, Gu Xiaoxing did not expect that this would make things happen at the perfect time, just in time for Zhou Shoutai's attack.
Of course, Gu Xiaoxing’s preparations don’t stop there!
Gu Xiaoxing had already realized how scheming Zhou Shoutai was when they were at the Foundation Building Mountain. Later, the other party successfully built his foundation with the Dao Fetus and changed his fate. Once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will definitely be stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul. Facing such a person, no matter how cautious you are, it is not too much!
In fact, Gu Xiaoxing was still a little worried about the previous battle. Although Zhou Shoutai's incarnation did show the combat power of a Nascent Soul, it was too weak, which made him uneasy.
Now that he had confirmed the other party's true identity, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly felt relieved. Although the other party's aura was much stronger than before, compared to those conspiracies and tricks, Gu Xiaoxing preferred a head-on confrontation like this!
Zhou Shoutai naturally saw Gu Xiaoxing's expression and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "It seems that you are very confident in your trump cards. Use them all. I will let you know what a true Nascent Soul is. In the face of absolute strength, any preparation is futile."
"It's really ironic that you say such things." Gu Xiaoxing snorted coldly, and suddenly clasped his hands together. The Nine Seas Technique spread and expanded, instantly covering Zhou Shoutai in the Nine Seas.
Zhou Shoutai did not comment on Gu Xiaoxing's words. Although he was used to playing tricks, his mentality inevitably changed after becoming a Nascent Soul.
He used to play tricks because he didn't have the talent and strength. But now, Zhou Shoutai has successfully changed his fate. He has excellent talent and his own strength is even stronger, which makes him more confident than ever before!
In Zhou Shoutai's eyes now, Gu Xiaoxing is undoubtedly no longer qualified for him to plot against, and being able to test and guard against him with an incarnation has become a habit he has developed through years of caution.
At the same time, this was also his defense against the one in ten thousand chance that Master Coffin would appear. Otherwise, he would directly descend in his true form, instantly killing all the people in the Soul Devouring Sect and taking back everything that originally belonged to him!
Now that he found that there were no problems on both sides, Zhou Shoutai naturally would not hide anything anymore. He was confident that he was no longer the Zhou Shoutai of the past. He now possessed the absolute talent and strength!
When the Nine Seas spread over, Zhou Shoutai remained unmoved and allowed them to cover him.
"town!"
As Gu Xiaoxing shouted loudly, a powerful suppressing and sealing force came from all directions, but Zhou Shoutai remained unmoved.
It was not until countless sword essences condensed into star swords and stabbed towards him like a waterfall of swords that Zhou Shoutai finally made a move. He slowly raised his hand. The power of the ban could not suppress him at all. He pinched his fingers with one hand and made a sound like the sound of Tao.
"All living beings...illusory forms!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally powerful sword waterfall, when it approached Zhou Shoutai, seemed to be disturbed by some invisible force, and it actually dissipated on its own and turned into sword energy without any attack power again.
This scene made Gu Xiaoxing stunned: "What kind of strange secret technique is this?"
"It's just physiognomy. Everything in the world has a physiognomy, my physiognomy, the physiognomy of others, and the physiognomy of all living things. You are the same..."
Zhou Shoutai spoke slowly, and pointed towards Gu Xiaoxing from a distance. It was obvious that he was in Gu Xiaoxing's Nine Seas Technique, but with this pointing, it seemed as if Zhou Shoutai was the master of the Nine Seas, and Gu Xiaoxing, as the caster, became a foil.
“The human form… is my form!”
As the voice fell, Gu Xiaoxing discovered with horror that he had lost control of the Nine Seas Technique, as if his own magic had been taken away from him at that moment and became the opponent's magic!
This made Gu Xiaoxing feel shocked. How could there be such a magical technique in this world?
However, the more shocking thing was yet to come. When Gu Xiaoxing saw that the countless star swords continued to condense after transcending his control and finally formed nine huge swords of truth, the horror in his heart reached its peak.
Nine Swords of Truth?
Gu Xiaoxing was confused. Why did the other party not only take away his Nine Seas Technique, but also control it and condense the Nine Swords of Truth?
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't understand why Zhou Shoutai could know and control his own magic?
But Gu Xiaoxing had no time to understand, as the Nine Swords of Truth had already stabbed towards him at an extremely fast speed, and Gu Xiaoxing subconsciously wanted to dodge.
But in the Nine Seas, a terrifying force of sealing and suppressing descended, pressing him so hard that he could not move. He could only watch as the nine swords continued to grow larger in his eyes, as if they were going to pierce him in the next moment.
“Xiao Xing…!”
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's heart.
"Xiaoxing...! Wake up!"
"Uncle Master...! Wake up!"
There was another voice, and it became clearer and clearer.
"Gu Xiaoxing, wake up!"
As a familiar voice exploded in his body, Gu Xiaoxing was suddenly startled, his eyes suddenly opened and closed, and what he saw was no longer the Nine Swords of Truth flying towards him, but a blood-red spike pointing directly at his forehead.
Gu Xiaoxing reacted quickly and leaned back. The sharp cone almost flew past his forehead. At that moment, he felt a strong sense of fear!
He was just a little bit away from having his head pierced by the sharp spike.
It was at this moment that Gu Xiaoxing realized that everything that happened before was an illusion, and he had fallen into Zhou Shoutai's magic without realizing it!
If Xu Qianxing hadn't been screaming wildly inside him, he would probably have really died here.
In the Qingyan Palace inside Gu Xiaoxing's body, Xu Qianxing stood on the seventh floor of the Seven Towers and breathed a long sigh of relief. With her cultivation level at the great perfection of foundation building, she naturally couldn't be of much help. However, after her foundation was repaired, her strength had recovered, and her spiritual consciousness was able to spread out and sense Gu Xiaoxing's situation.
When Xu Qianxing found that Gu Xiaoxing suddenly became dazed and stood there, he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly shouted, which led to the previous scene.
Xiao Zhuhuo stood beside Xu Qianxing. Although she had not yet concentrated her spiritual sense and could not see the situation outside, she could see that her master's aunt was nervous, so she shouted without thinking. When she saw her master's aunt's expression relax, Xiao Zhuhuo also breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside, Zhou Shoutai's expression froze. He was somewhat incredulous when he saw Gu Xiaoxing break free from the illusion.
His illusion technique is extremely sophisticated. It arouses the subconscious self. Anyone who has a form will be attached to it. As long as one's cultivation is lower than his, it is basically impossible to break it.
However, he never expected that in Gu Xiaoxing's heart, there were two people who helped him break this illusion that he could not break by himself!
