Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 78: Star Veins Reverse, Forbidden Star Picking Technique
"Forbidden Technique, Pick the Stars and Change the Moon, Open!"
Jiang Wuyan shook his wrist, and the sword tip turned reversed. The Seven-Pavilion Pagoda behind him suddenly began to tilt slowly, and the star power in his body also began to flow back strangely.
"Star Veins Reversal? Jiang Wuyan, you...what do you want to do? Stop immediately..."
Hua Yingxiu had been standing behind Jiang Wuyan. Although her level was not high enough, she was still unyieldingly using various witchcraft to try to help Xiaotang and the others hold on in the battle. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong with the flow of star power around her. When she diverted a small part of her attention from the battlefield to Jiang Wuyan, she saw a scene that surprised her extremely.
The damage and pain caused by the retrograde star veins to warriors are extremely terrifying. Some people even think that this practice is more cruel to themselves than a direct star explosion.
Because a star explosion is only a moment of pain. Once it explodes, everything will turn into nothingness. Most of the time, warriors will be directly reduced to ashes, and only a few can survive for a few days, unless they have a heaven-defying astrological talent like Tang Xiaotang.
The retrograde motion of the star veins is a continuous process, and the entire process requires the warrior himself to constantly push forward, which is equivalent to torturing himself, and it is a difficult and long torture.
Moreover, the retrograde star veins are not like the starburst. Any warrior can complete the starburst and cause great damage as long as he understands the basics of star power, is willing to risk his life, and has enough time to perform it. The retrograde star veins themselves have no offensive effect. Their only use is to cooperate with the forbidden methods of some aristocratic families or sects to perform some heaven-defying martial arts, which is much more difficult than the starburst.
"Miss Xiu'er, I... remember, Tang Zheng said that everyone should go crazy once in their life. Today, I suddenly wanted to use this opportunity, so... I can't stop, and there is no way to stop." Jiang Wuyan panted, forced a smile, and answered.
His elegant face had turned pale and bloodless from the agony of the star veins flowing backwards and gnawing at his soul and bones. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead like short beads.
At this moment, as the star power unexpectedly flowed upwards in the acupoints and star veins, veins popped out all over his body, his muscles twitched, and he looked weak and terrifying.
The Seven-Pavilion Pagoda constellation behind him has gradually turned from upright to nearly 90 degrees and is almost parallel to the ground. If it reverses further, the Seven-Pavilion Pagoda constellation will present a strange picture of an inverted triangle.
However, when the Seven-Pavilion Pagoda was parallel to the ground, no matter how hard Jiang Wuyan tried, the pagoda just shook wildly and could not cross the invisible gap, becoming upside down.
As Jiang Wuyan stopped attacking, without the recovery ability of his Shengge and the support of various sword beams, the situation of Tang Xiaotang and Zheng Qian became more precarious. It seemed that they might be torn to pieces by the four Far North Demon Butterflies at any time.
Jiang Wuyan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "Forget it, I can only blame myself for being too weak. I'm sorry, Master. Today, I may never be able to fulfill your hopes and expectations. Seven Star Sword, give me a helping hand!"
His mind changed, and the inverted sword in his hand suddenly moved forward. With a "puff", blood splattered. The sword actually pierced directly into his body, and it happened to pierce the largest star vein acupoint in his body.
Blood overflowed from the blade of the sword and flowed into the hilt. The hilt, which had been smooth and dimly patterned by Jiang Wuyan, suddenly burst into bloody starlight at this moment.
"Hah——" Jiang Wuyan grasped the hilt of the sword, roared like a desperate beast, and suddenly turned the hilt that was shining with blood.
As the hilt of the sword moved the sword tip to cut out a large piece of flesh from Jiang Wuyan's wound, the star power in that star vein acupoint was also rapidly reversed by a strange force, and the star image of the Seven Pavilion Pagoda behind him finally broke through the insurmountable gap and completely reversed to an upside-down posture.
"The pagoda is a hundred feet high, and I will pick the stars with my hands. Quick!" Jiang Wuyan freed one hand, and with his own blood flowing, he made his calloused fingers into a sword, pointing it obliquely at the sky. As soon as he gave the order, three extremely fast starlights suddenly shot out from the base of the inverted pagoda behind him and shot straight into the sky.
It was originally dusk with the setting sun, but at this moment, the sky seemed to suddenly dim, and seven bright stars suddenly appeared in the sky.
The three rays of light that shot towards the sky turned in the air and transformed into a giant hand. It reached out to the seven bright stars with a domineering move, immediately grabbed three of them, and circled back to the side of the inverted pagoda.
"Tanlang, Pojun, Tianxiang... good luck, the stars are back to their positions, ask for the pavilion, leave the pavilion, leave the pavilion, open!" As Jiang Wuyan chanted the magic spell again, the three stars that fell from the sky sank into the inverted seven-pavilion pagoda behind him, and instantly lit up the three pavilions at the top.
With each attic that lit up, Jiang Wuyan's face became paler, but the aura of star power emanating from his body suddenly became extremely strange and powerful.
The secret martial arts of the Seven Pavilion Pagoda, life, death, love, hate, separation, farewell and seeking, the most mysterious and powerful three pavilion secrets, were all activated at the same time at this moment after Jiang Wuyan performed the forbidden technique and hung the stars upside down.
At this time, Tang Xiaotang and Zheng Qian had completely reached the end of their strength. They seemed to have almost lost the ability to think, and their bodies were supported by the unyielding will in their hearts.
At this critical moment, Jiang Wuyan finally took action.
He pointed his finger at the four Far North Demonic Butterflies in the distance, and the three stars of Tan Lang, Po Jun and Tian Xiang that had just been received in the Seven Pavilion Pagoda behind him suddenly shot towards the four Far North Demonic Butterflies like soldiers receiving orders.
"Leave!" Jiang Wuyan spoke indifferently just after the Tianxiang star shot into the vicinity of the four Arctic Demon Butterflies. His words were followed by actions. The four Arctic Demon Butterflies, who had been entangled by Tang Xiaotang and Zheng Qian and were angry and embarrassed, suddenly felt a strange power enveloping them.
That force seemed to have no offensive power, but it was extremely tenacious and wrapped around them. No matter how they struggled and attacked, they could not do anything about this invisible force.
Driven by this strange power, they found themselves getting farther and farther away from Tang Xiaotang and Zheng Qian. No matter how they attacked, they could not hit the two of them. It seemed that they were close at hand, but in fact they were far away.
"Don't!" Immediately afterwards, Pojun Star also joined the battle. The Li Ge secret method of Tianxiang Star just now made the four Far North Demon Butterflies feel the helplessness of being unable to attack the enemy. When Pojun Star appeared, they were horrified to find that they could not feel the existence of their companions at all. Even the demon butterfly leader who was still being beaten by Tang Zheng and struggling frantically not far away, they could not feel its position and distance from them at all. It was as if all their companions and tribesmen were completely cut off from this world and completely eroded by a boundless sense of loneliness.
"Please!" When the last Greedy Wolf star arrived, all the desires, weaknesses, powerlessness and pain that they had experienced since birth suddenly flashed before the eyes of the four Arctic Demon Butterflies. The attacks of their subordinates gradually stopped completely and turned into a meaningless dance in the air, as if those long-coveted goals and wishes that they had been holding on to for many years were constantly floating in front of their eyes, and as long as they tried hard to reach out at this moment, they would be within .
The four originally extremely ferocious northern demon butterflies had forced Tang Xiaotang and Zheng Qian into a desperate situation the moment before, and they were about to die on the spot. The next moment, they suddenly became like headless flies, lost their souls and dizzy.
"Xiao...Tang, that's it, now...explode!" Jiang Wuyan tried hard to control the three stars, while maintaining and enduring the pain of reversing the star veins, he shouted with a hoarse voice.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the sword tip inserted into his star vein acupoint was suddenly pulled. The sudden severe pain caused his star power to dissipate. The star that was originally circling the four Arctic Demon Butterflies suddenly dimmed. The four Arctic Demon Butterflies suddenly woke up, immediately realized their embarrassing situation, and struggled frantically.
"Damn it, still... can't do it anymore..." Jiang Wuyan almost bit his teeth to pieces, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. However, controlling four four-star peak Arctic Demon Butterflies at the same time was an almost impossible task. Even if he burned his boats and reversed the star veins to activate the forbidden method, Jiang Wuyan still felt that he could not control it.
The three stars that controlled the four Far North Demon Butterflies were already flickering. Seeing that the powerful control of the three pavilions, Li, Bie and Qiu, was about to be broken, a warm current suddenly rose behind Jiang Wuyan.
"Don't be distracted. This is the power of my natal Gu. It can only help you maintain for three breaths at most. After three breaths, I will no longer have any fighting power. Whether you live or die, you can only leave it to fate." Hua Yingxiu's soft and tender voice suddenly sounded behind Jiang Wuyan.
With the blessing of Hua Yingxiu's natal Gu, the stars in the Li, Bie and Qiu pavilions became bright again, and the struggles of the four Far North demon butterflies also temporarily ceased.
"It won't take three breaths, only two. Xiaotang can completely solve the problem." Jiang Wuyan looked at the girl not far away who had already been holding up her body and gathering her star power when she heard his call. As a teammate who already had a tacit understanding with her, Jiang Wuyan knew that she understood his tactics - after he used the forbidden technique to control the Arctic Demon Butterfly, he created an opportunity for her to explode, and they cooperated perfectly to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
Xiaotang, indeed, did not disappoint him.
Two breaths later, an extremely violent fluctuation of star power, accompanied by dazzling light, suddenly exploded in the valley, with strong winds raging, dust flying, and even the earth was shaken by the bombardment.
"Miss Xiu'er, thank you." Feeling the warmth on his vest disappear, Jiang Wuyan was no longer able to support the reversal of the star veins and the power of Libieqiu Sange. His voice was weak and his breath was barely moving. He regained his gentlemanly appearance. He turned around politely and nodded to Hua Yingxiu. After revealing a grateful and apologetic smile, he could no longer hold on and fell backwards.
Hua Yingxiu wanted to reach out and hold Jiang Wuyan, but she was already too weak and could only grab a sliver of his sleeve, unable to hold him. In the end, she watched Jiang Wuyan fall into the dust: "It's me, I should be thanking you..."
