The insect cloud above the inn began to fade, and the small insect carcasses in the room had piled up to Junior Leopard's knees. Only the place where Junior Leopard was standing and was shrouded by the green light was not affected.
"What a weird bead!" Junior Leopard, who had completely recovered, looked at the scene in the room and secretly marveled in his heart. When he got this bead, he never thought that this thing could make such a big noise.
And it was so wonderful.
The surrounding green light was no longer bright, but the amount of poison absorbed by this bead was obviously far from the limit.
Junior Leopard sensed with his divine thoughts that these toxins had almost filled up the space of the bead, but there was always a little bit left. Just a little bit more and the entire space would be filled up. And that little bit, Junior Leopard saw carefully, was absorbed by the green bead.
As the green bead absorbed more poisons, the bead's light became greener.
"It's almost over. Those guys outside should be ready to take action!" Feeling that the bead was absorbing more and more poison and the insect carcasses around him were accumulating more and more, Junior Leopard slightly moved his sleeves, and 49 Demon Devil Needles were taken out.
The cultivation of the four people outside was good. The weakest one was a Level Four expert, and there were two at Level Six. As for the last one, Junior Leopard could only feel his spirit, but he couldn't perceive his depth. He was at least a Level Seven expert.
Although Junior Leopard was arrogant, he had never thought that he could take advantage of so many experts when they joined hands.
But to be honest, he didn't care too much. Anyway, he had the Three Realms Division, which was almost against the natural order, to protect himself. Even if he couldn't beat them, he could always run away.
With the Three Realms Division and Yanfu Inner Strength, even if he met a Level Nine expert, he still had a chance to escape.
Was there a Level Nine expert in this small South Yuezhou Province?
Junior Leopard would never believe it.
When the last wisp of poisonous gas was absorbed by the Detoxicating Bead, Junior Leopard subconsciously opened his mouth and the bead naturally flew into his mouth. Strangely, the bead disappeared without a trace after entering his mouth, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, in the mysterious space in his eyes, a green bead appeared. It was right under the eyeball that was suspended in midair. One was big and one was small, and they reflected off each other.
"Hu —!" Junior Leopard heaved a sigh of relief. He did not stay in this mysterious space for long. He withdrew his divine thoughts back into his body because he had already sensed that the four people outside had come in.
Their movements were very cautious. The two Level Six masters were in front, and the Level Four master and the mysterious powerhouse were behind. They walked straight to the front of his room and stopped.
"May I know who is the expert in the room? I am Ruan Xiuwen from the Yue Province's Governor's Manor. I request an audience!"
Walking to the front of the house, Ruan Xiuwen cupped his fists and asked in a clear voice.
"Ruan Xiuwen?!" Junior Leopard's eyes narrowed. He had heard of this name before. He was the legitimate son of Yuezhou's Governor Ruan Ming. He was also one of the influential figures in the younger generation of the Great Jin. It was said that he had become a disciple of a mysterious expert in South Man. His cultivation had already reached Level Four.
"Could it be that the mysterious expert outside the door is his teacher?!" Junior Leopard thought in his heart. "So it's Young Master Ruan. May I know why Young Master Ruan wants to see me?!"
His voice was calm and upright, revealing a trace of coldness. It was as if he was disdainful of this Young Master who dominated an area in South Yuezhou and could make the ground of Yuezhou tremble with a stomp of his foot.
A cold light flashed in Ruan Xiuwen's eyes. "Brother, you just caused a strange phenomenon in this inn. Do you want me to sit back and do nothing?!"
"Now that the strange phenomenon is gone, you can leave!" It was still that cold and distant tone.
"How dare you!"
The two Level Six experts who were walking in front shouted coldly at the same time. One of them stepped into the room.
The doors and windows of Junior Leopard's room had long been broken by the endless insects. However, although there was no door, standing outside the room, the view was blocked by a thick layer of insect corpses. It was impossible to see the situation inside. At this moment, the insect corpses in the room had almost piled up to the height of a person's shoulder. These few people stood outside and looked at the insect corpses. Except for the old man, their faces had already become very ugly.
The Level Six expert who stepped into the room fiercely stepped forward. His Internal Qi surged like a wild wind, sweeping the insect corpses in front of him to both sides.
In this process, it could be seen that he had a strong control over his Internal Qi. If it was in an ordinary place, once the wind blew, it would definitely be a sky full of sand. However, under the control of this Level Six expert, the surrounding insect corpses that were smaller than dust actually did not rise at all. Instead, they were neatly pushed to both sides. In the blink of an eye, a passageway that could allow people to pass through was lightly swept out in the room.
Almost at the same time, the grey-clothed old man suddenly moved. His figure was like lightning, fiercely rushing into the room.
Junior Leopard just sneered and waved his sleeves fiercely. 49 Demon Devil Needles shot in the direction of the old man at the same time.
"Oh, no!" With Gang Qi in his body, the old man's speed was extremely fast. Relying on the protection of Gang Qi, he did not pay much attention to Junior Leopard. When 49 Demon Devil Needles pierced into his Gang Qi, he came to himself and his expression immediately became ugly.
Gang Qi was a unique skill for both attack and defense. Once your cultivation reached Level Seven and you condensed Gang Qi, it could be said that ordinary weapons would not cause you any harm. It was not an exaggeration to say that you were invulnerable. Even if you were trapped in a battle formation of tens of thousands of soldiers and were tightly surrounded, those ordinary weapons could not break the defense of Gang Qi. It was not an easy thing to kill tens of thousands of soldiers to win, but it was easy to get out of the battle formation and behead a general.
Therefore, once the Gang Qi was formed, when you faced an expert whose cultivation was below Level Seven, you were almost invincible. Because of this, after the grey-clothed old man operated his Gang Qi, he directly rushed to Junior Leopard's position without fear.
When his Gang Qi came into contact with the Demon Devil Needles, he felt the destructive and poisonous Qi emitted by the needles. His body suddenly paused in the air, and with a low growl, he almost used the strength of nine oxen and two tigers. His body curled up, and he almost exerted the greatest defensive function of Gang Qi to block the forty-nine Demon Devil Needles. However, this was not a complete block. The Demon Devil Needles were still stubbornly advancing in his Gang Qi, which had almost condensed into a solid substance.
"Quick, kill him. Be careful of the needle-shaped celestial device on him!" The grey-clothed old man screamed. He knew that this was the best opportunity.
He was caught unprepared by Junior Leopard just now. Similarly, Junior Leopard's Demon Devil Needles were also trapped by his Gang Qi. Although the Demon Devil Needles were very powerful and were still stubbornly advancing in his Gang Qi, they could not cause any substantial harm to him for a while. The biggest advantage of his side was that they outnumbered him. As long as the other three people entangled with the old man, Junior Leopard would inevitably fall into a dilemma.
Should he continue to use his divine thoughts to control the Demon Devil Needles to attack the old man, or should he divide his attention to entangle with the other three people? Once he was entangled, he would not be able to divert his attention to control the Demon Devil Needles. It should be known that facing two Level Six experts and one Level Four expert, Junior Leopard would not be confident that he could easily deal with them. He would definitely be entangled with them. At that time, once he had no time to control the Demon Devil Needles, the Demon Devil Needles would inevitably fall into the hands of the old man.
This was also why the old man clearly knew that his Gang Qi had not completely trapped the opponent's needle-shaped celestial device. He still let the other three people take action.
Celestial device!
Who didn't want it?
Especially this kind of insidious celestial device that killed people invisibly. Once he successfully refined it, then his strength would increase by more than one fold.
Hence, when he discovered that Junior Leopard had used the Demon Devil Needles, he immediately had the thought of snatching it. He no longer had the thought of preserving his strength.
Hearing the old man's shout, the three experts, including Ruan Xiuwen, did not even think and rushed in, running straight towards Junior Leopard.
"Humph!" Junior Leopard's expression suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, he understood the old man's idea. However, he was not a rookie who could be bullied by anyone. The old man had only trapped 41 Demon Devil Needles. There were still eight Demon Devil Needles outside of the old man's Gang Qi, which he could use at will.
These eight Demon Devil Needles were the key to victory or defeat.
Under such circumstances, Junior Leopard naturally did not have much hesitation. He waved his sleeve fiercely. With this wave, the Green Jade Qian Yuan Internal Qi in the External Elixir rolled up a whirlwind. He did not control the airflow. With a wave, the insect corpses that piled up in the room were all swept up.
Once these insect corpses, which were even finer than dust, were swept up, the whole room immediately became confused. The remaining eight Demon Devil Needles, under the cover of the insect corpses that filled the sky, dashed away.
These three people were not weaklings. Once they saw Junior Leopard sweep up the insect corpses that filled the sky, and thought of the old man's warning just now, they knew the situation was bad. At the first moment, they waved the weapons in their hands to protect themselves tightly.
But then they heard, "Ding, ding, ding!" A few extremely subtle sounds of metal colliding rang out. Six Demon Devil Needles were bounced off by their weapons and rolled into Junior Leopard's sleeve. However, there were still two needles that pierced through the gaps of the weapons in the hands of the two Level Six experts, directly hitting the space between their eyebrows.
This was where celestial devices were different from ordinary concealed weapons. They could be moved at will. Even if they were separated from the body, they could still be controlled by divine thoughts and act at will. Especially the needle-shaped celestial devices like the Demon Devil Needles, which were especially sinister.
The two people were also Level Six experts. In terms of cultivation, they were not below Junior Leopard. However, in the face of Junior Leopard's strange needle-shaped celestial device, they had no chance to fight back.
First, their vision was blocked by the insect corpses that Junior Leopard had stirred up all over the sky. Under the influence of the insect corpses, their spiritual minds were greatly reduced. Although they had used their weapons to protect themselves, how could they protect themselves in such a situation?
Therefore, in just a moment, the two people's hearts were pierced by Junior Leopard's Demon Devil Needles. They only felt a chill between their eyebrows, and a gust of Evil Qi instantly froze and destroyed their brains. Their hands that were waving their weapons continued to wave back and forth a few times, and then stopped. Their bodies fell to the ground, stirring up another layer of insect corpses, and they could no longer get up.
This was the viciousness of the Demon Devil Needles. The needles contained an extreme amount of Evil Qi. Even if there was only one needle, the person would be attacked by the Evil Qi and die in a short period of time. It was very difficult to treat. If one was hit in a vital point, such as between the eyebrows or the heart, then there would be no chance of treatment. One would die on the spot, just like these two Level Six experts.
As for the remaining Ruan Xiuwen, he did not dare to make the slightest movement. This was because there was still a Demon Devil Needle stuck between his eyebrows. Waves of Evil Qi invaded from the needle. Ruan Xiuwen's originally handsome face had already become deathly pale. His body was also much stiffer, and he did not dare to make any more movements.
After using the Demon Devil Needles to kill two Level Six experts and subdue Ruan Xiuwen, Junior Leopard could finally free his hands to deal with the grey-robed old man.
After all, he was a Level Seven expert. Everything in the field could be hidden from others, but it could not be hidden from the grey-robed old man. Seeing that Junior Leopard used eight Demon Devil Needles to instantly settle two Level Six experts and subdue a Level Four expert, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes revealed a sense of horror.
Although he had long known that a suitable celestial device could greatly increase an individual's combat capability, it was the first time he saw Junior Leopard killing two Level Six experts and subduing a Level Four expert so easily. The greed in his heart grew even stronger.
"He's only a Level Six expert, but with this celestial device he has such power. Now I'm already a Level Seven expert, and my Gang Qi has formed. There's no reason for me to be inferior to him, right?!"
He had this thought in his heart. Little did he know that he was really inferior to Junior Leopard.
Junior Leopard was able to display the power of the Demon Devil Needles to such an extent because of his divine thoughts. Under various encounters, his divine thoughts were already not weaker than a Level Seven or Eight expert. This old man was just an ordinary Level Seven expert. In terms of divine thoughts, he was much weaker than Junior Leopard. Therefore, even if he managed to snatch the Demon Devil Needles, he could not display a stronger effect than Junior Leopard.
Of course, this kind of thing, if he did not personally experience it, he would not believe it. For a Level Seven expert's divine thoughts to be inferior to a Level Six expert, in his eyes, it was just a joke.
"Let go of the Young Master, leave behind the Poison-absorbing Green Bead and this celestial device, and I'll let you leave alive!"
Without looking at the two Level Six experts on the ground, the old man said to Junior Leopard in a hoarse voice.
"So that bead is called Poison-absorbing Green Bead!" Junior Leopard thought in his heart, but he only sneered, "Is a Level Seven expert that great?!"
His divine thoughts suddenly urged, and the Demon Devil Needles, which were trapped by the old man's Gang Qi and were moving slowly in it, suddenly sped up. "You'll talk about it after you get through me!"
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The old man snorted angrily. His gray Gang Qi fiercely surged, and an incomparably fishy smell diffused from his Gang Qi.
As soon as he smelled this smell, Junior Leopard suddenly felt dizzy, and he shouted in his heart, "Oh no!" However, before he could react, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead in the space of his eyes flashed slightly, and a cyan cool air spread through his whole body. The dizziness just now was gone, and the fishy smell also disappeared around him.
However, this poisonous gas was only the first step of the old man's attack. As the gray Gang Qi surged, it was divided into three parts. One part continued to trap Junior Leopard's Demon Devil Needles, and the other two parts condensed into two gray whips, fiercely lashing at Junior Leopard.
The whips surged with a fishy smell.
Junior Leopard's expression froze, and he pulled out the Emerald Pearl Sword backhandedly. Without showing any weakness, he met the whips head-on. The Silver Moon Sword Technique was immediately displayed, and a bright brilliance flashed in the room, entangling with the old man's Gang Qi.
To be honest, Junior Leopard was not afraid of Gang Qi, at least he was not afraid of the old man's Gang Qi. Because the old man's Gang Qi was not at the same level as Xue Wuya's or Wang She's. Moreover, the Emerald Pearl Sword in his hand was not an ordinary item, and the Silver Moon Sword Technique was also an extremely superior swordsmanship method. Although the Sword Qi condensed by the Bright Moon Deifying Technique was not necessarily comparable to Gang Qi, it was not much worse.
The two gray whips of Gang Qi were like two huge gray snakes surging and twisting, while the silver brilliance of the silver sword in Junior Leopard's hand was like a light curtain. Although it was unable to kill the two gray snakes, the gray snakes were also unable to penetrate his sword light. The two actually became a battle of attrition.
"This brat is crazy. He actually wants to fight a battle of attrition with me who has Gang Qi!"
Seeing that the situation had fallen into a battle of attrition, the grey-robed old man was no longer anxious. He even felt relieved. When a Level Seven expert faced a Level Six expert, the last thing they were afraid of was attrition. Internal Qi was consumed, but Gang Qi was not.
If they continued fighting like this, when Junior Leopard's Internal Qi was exhausted, this battle would also be over.
Junior Leopard also knew this principle. However, he also had his own plans. He did not want to fight a battle of attrition with a Level Seven expert. However, he did not have Gang Qi, he had fist intent.
Gradually, both sides fell into a state of stalemate. The sword light in Junior Leopard's hand became more and more intense. However, the old man could keenly feel that the Demon Devil Needles in his Gang Qi seemed to be moving slower and slower.
In the end, there were actually signs of it stopping.
At first, he was delighted. Subsequently, out of caution, he did not act immediately. Instead, he carefully observed and then looked at Junior Leopard who was entangled with his Gang Qi. After confirming that Junior Leopard did not have any energy left, he waved his sleeve and rolled it. However, it did not roll towards the Demon Devil Needles in front of him. Instead, it created an airflow and rushed to the front of Ruan Xiuwen.
The rippling airflow instantly swept away the Demon Devil Needles in between Ruan Xiuwen's eyebrows. After that, it created a suction force and rolled the Demon Devil Needles over.
After successfully rolling the Demon Devil Needles into his sleeve, he was secretly relieved.
"It seems that he really does not have any energy left to control this celestial device!"
As for that Ruan Xiuwen, he still stood at the same spot and did not dare to move. Just now, Junior Leopard's move had really frightened him.
He was completely frightened.
His cultivation was not bad. A Level Four expert in his twenties could be counted in the whole world. However, after all, he was born into a superior family. Almost half of his cultivation was obtained by piling up elixirs. When he usually cultivated, although there were people who trained with him, he had never encountered a life and death battle. It was even more impossible for him to encounter any real fatal danger.
The two Level Six experts who were killed by Junior Leopard were specially tasked to protect his safety. Usually, as long as he went out, he would bring these two people with him. What kind of danger would he encounter?
Therefore, he had never felt the threat of death before.
This was the first time he faced death directly. It was the first time he felt that death was so close to him. He was completely frightened.
He was so frightened that even if the other party was no longer a threat to him, he did not dare to act rashly. With a pale face, he took two steps back and actually retreated to the outside of the house. He stood at the door and watched the battle between the two.
"Useless thing!" The grey-robed old man saw that Ruan Xiuwen retreated and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes. He no longer cared about him. His Gang Qi tightened and retracted. The 41 Demon Devil Needles that were imprisoned by him were also rolled up. These 41 Demon Devil Needles were the same as the previous one. There was no reaction. Obviously, Junior Leopard had completely given up control of this celestial device.
The old man did not dare to let his guard down. After all, the celestial device was connected to the other party's mind. Now that he did not control it, it did not mean that he could not control it. Once he recovered, he only needed to use his divine thoughts and he could regain control. This was the advantage of a celestial device that had been refined. It was also what he coveted the most.
Not daring to be negligent, he took out a small black box from his bosom and carefully placed the 42 Demon Devil Needles into the box. During the process, he was exceptionally careful, for fear that these 42 small Demon Devil Needles would explode.
The 42 Demon Devil Needles were very obedient and did not cause any trouble. They were smoothly placed into the box by him. Only then did he feel relieved.
Now that the Demon Devil Needles were collected, his heart was more than half at ease.
Without the threat of the Demon Devil Needles, he could focus all his energy on Junior Leopard.
His body suddenly straightened and the bones all over his body made explosive sounds. Like beans being fried, his body suddenly grew taller. His grey robe gently shook and the two grey Gang Qi whips that were entangled with Junior Leopard returned to his body. They merged with the Gang Qi that trapped Junior Leopard's Demon Devil Needles. His whole body was wrapped in a layer of grey fog. His grey robe fluttered in the wind.
"Boy, let me see what other tricks you can use. Your time has come!" While speaking, his hand pulled out a real long whip from his waist. He moved his body horizontally and fiercely charged towards Junior Leopard.
Junior Leopard's eyes were slightly cold. He could see that this guy was going to use his real strength.
A Level Seven expert with Gang Qi to protect his body and a weapon in his hand rushed towards a Level Six expert. What would the result be?
It was easy to know.
Although this old man and Granny Long were both at Level Seven, his strength was more than several times that of Granny Long. Junior Leopard had to use 120% of his energy to deal with him.
Junior Leopard waved the Emerald Pearl Sword in his hand and fought with him. This time, as soon as they came into contact, Junior Leopard fell into an absolute disadvantage. This old man had obviously been immersed in this long whip for many years. He used the long whip to the acme of perfection. The most shocking thing was that this old guy only attacked without defending. In the eyes of others, it seemed that he was going to perish together with Junior Leopard. Anyway, he had Gang Qi to protect his body. Even if Junior Leopard found his flaw, he could not break through his Gang Qi.
A Level Seven expert used this way to deal with a Level Six expert. It was clear that he wanted to rely on his advantage of Gang Qi to take the opponent head-on.
