It was past ten o 'clock, when Wang Ling and Fang Xing had still been working on the magic array …
After capturing Chou Shisi alive, Wang Ming and Odd Zhuo finally found Xiao Yuncheng in a small alley with bloodshot eyes. The fruit which Shuigou Sect had fed Xiao Yuncheng had almost completely dissolved in his body. Even from a distance, Wang Ming and Odd Zhuo could feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
This kind of pressure was different from the spiritual pressure released by a normal cultivator. It was an uncontrollable aura pressure, which was precisely a sign of extreme danger. It proved that the concentration of spiritual energy in Xiao Yuncheng's body was about to reach saturation.
Wang Ming wiped at his sweat. Because of Chou Shisi, they had really wasted too much time.
Fortunately, it was not too late. The situation could still be salvaged …
"What should we do, Second Brother? We can't get close at all." At the mouth of the alley, Odd Zhuo and Wang Ming felt heavy pressure; if it wasn't for the long johns they were wearing, the pressure might have been even greater.
And from a certain perspective, Xiao Yuncheng's aura was already infinitely close to the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage …
Under such an uncontrollable pressure, it was already a miracle to be able to resist the pressure, let alone walk.
This once again demonstrated the fearsomeness of the fruit developed by Shuigou Sect. He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but under the power of the fruit, the spirit energy contained in his body had been forcibly raised to an untouchable level … Xiao Yuncheng was currently enduring enormous pain both physically and mentally.
But Odd Zhuo was also deeply aware that it was a good thing that this person was Xiao Yuncheng.
The Xiao Clan's inner and outer sect promotion system was very strict. As the number one in the Xiao Clan's outer sect, Xiao Yuncheng must have put in more effort than an ordinary person. If it weren't for Xiao Yuncheng, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
"Don't worry, I'll set you free right away." Holding the sword, Wang Ming poured spirit energy into it from his ring.
Then, with a whoosh, the Heavenly Materials sword turned into a beam of light and shot towards Xiao Yuncheng!
It actually split the aura apart?
Odd Zhuo was greatly astonished; he had never known that the Heavenly Materials sword could actually have this kind of function.
Not only could this Sword Qi seal spirits, but it could also ignore spiritual pressure …
"This sword is too abnormal … Fortunately, Master took it back in time!"
This was Odd Zhuo's thought as he was secretly horrified.
Furthermore, he was very glad that the Master of Immortal Mansion's sword-forging plan had ultimately failed.
In terms of material quality alone, this Heavenly Materials sword was indeed impeccable. It was a sword that the Master of Immortal Mansion had spent nearly half his life's blood and sweat to create. Odd Zhuo had already appraised its grade long ago, and it was a first class saint level sword. A first-grade sacred artifact … In fact, in this era, for countless cultivators, it was already considered a priceless treasure.
Furthermore, under normal circumstances, if one were to engage in a battle of a higher cultivation level, it was very important that one's magic tool was superior to the opponent's.
At that time, Cheng Yu, the Master of Immortal Mansion, had used the Heavenly Materials sword and his intrinsic spirit field. Even though he was an Itinerant Immortal, he had the strength to fight Fang Xing, who had used two supreme spells in succession and had reached the True Immortal realm in his complete form, and had even had the upper hand.
This was enough to prove how terrifying the Heavenly Materials sword was.
The only regret was that this sword didn't have a sword spirit …
Whether a spirit sword was strong or not depended thirty percent on the sword material and seventy percent on the sword spirit.
It was clear that Cheng Yu, the Master of Immortal Mansion, was also well aware of this. Unfortunately, he had found Jingke in the end.
…
…
Wang Ming had already thought of using the Heavenly Materials sword's characteristics to launch a long-range attack when he couldn't get close.
At that moment, wherever the Heavenly Materials sword passed, the aura emitted by Xiao Yuncheng in the depths of the alleyway was dispersed by sword qi. Wang Ming and Odd Zhuo took this opportunity to close in on Xiao Yuncheng as the spiritual pressure dispersed.
Xiao Yuncheng's eyes were bloodshot as he lurked in a corner of the alleyway, vigilantly staring at his surroundings like a wild beast.
His reflexes were very quick; when he saw the sword light flying toward him, he actually directly jumped on the spot and easily dodged the spirit sword's pursuit.
The Heavenly Materials sword wasn't fast enough to catch up to Xiao Yuncheng at all!
Wang Ming relied on the charging spirit ring stored in his ring to control the spirit sword to attack, but there was still a gap between him and a cultivator who relied on true strength to control a spirit sword.
Furthermore, looking at the current situation, Odd Zhuo felt that even if he controlled the Heavenly Materials sword, it wouldn't be of much use. After Xiao Yuncheng had been strengthened by the fruit, whether it was in terms of speed or strength, he was no longer at the Golden Core stage. At the very least, he would need to be at the Nascent Soul or Soul Formation stage to have a chance of attacking Xiao Yuncheng with the Heavenly Materials sword.
"Brother Er, can you use the Brain Deduction Technique?!" Odd Zhuo recalled Wang Ming's miraculous ability when he had dealt with Chou Shisi. If he could trap Xiao Yuncheng in his brain's layers of Inception like Chou Shisi had, he might have a chance!
"When the opponent is delirious, the Brain Deduction Technique won't work." Wang Ming shook his head.
This was one of the biggest limitations of the Brain Deduction Technique. The most crucial step of this technique was actually like hypnosis. Through some actions, the enemy would be given some hints, and then the enemy would unknowingly enter the space of the Brain Deduction Technique.
But unfortunately, once the opponent's thoughts were confused … the suggestion wouldn't work, and the spell wouldn't work.
Xiao Yuncheng was provoked, and he roared even more furiously as he bared his teeth at Wang Ming and Odd Zhuo.
A sharp killing intent made all the hair on Odd Zhuo's body stand on end.
"Brother Er, be careful!"
"Watch me!"
Wang Ming raised his hand again, and spirit light blossomed from the ring on his finger as a scroll actually flew out.
"Xiao Yuncheng, look, what's this?!"
Holding the scroll, Wang Ming pulled on the red string on the side, and the scroll unfurled on its own.
Odd Zhuo was astonished to find that Xiao Yuncheng was actually staring at the painting without moving! Even his murderous aura had been completely withdrawn!
At that moment, Xiao Yuncheng felt like he had woken up, and even the blood-red in his eyes seemed to have dimmed a lot.
In the end, he actually dropped to his knees directly!
"Now!"
Taking advantage of Xiao Yuncheng's dazed state, Wang Ming once again maneuvered the Heavenly Materials sword to close in on Xiao Yuncheng from behind. The sword light brushed past Xiao Yuncheng's shoulder, creating a wound that was neither shallow nor deep.
At that moment, the blood-red in Xiao Yuncheng's eyes dissipated, and his aura weakened continuously as he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Brother Er, what kind of magic treasure is this? Why is it so powerful?" Odd Zhuo was greatly shaken by this scene.
Wang Ming threw the scroll to Odd Zhuo. "It's nothing, it's just a painting."
Staring at the painting, the corners of Odd Zhuo's mouth twitched. "…" This was actually a painting of the Yan Emperor using the Angry Buddha Fire Lotus!
Looking at Xiao Yuncheng lying on the ground, Wang Ming spread his hands helplessly. "The people of the Xiao clan are all descendants of the Yan Emperor, and their feelings for this ancestor are very deep … it's a natural reaction to kneel down when you see the ancestor's painting."
Odd Zhuo: "…"
