The moment she came out of the cave and her vision recovered, Ling Xin felt a long, dark, and swift light flash past her eyes in the dazzling sunlight.
Vigilant, Ling Xin hurriedly circulated her energy to protect her body, but she saw that the dark light's target was not her. Instead, it had pierced through the cracks in Mahoraga's scales and into his flesh.
"A poison needle? No, Mahoraga is a serpent god. He should be immune to all poisons! "
Ling Xin didn't know what had struck Mahoraga, but he seemed to be completely unaffected. Hissing loudly, he twisted his body and continued his pursuit.
Ling Xin then looked ahead and saw Ji Yaoyue on the top of the emerald green tree not far away. She was swaying her slender waist and dancing gracefully. Her dress fluttered in the wind, and her hair was exposed. Her every movement was as graceful as the spring breeze brushing the willows. She was like a beautiful fairy among flowers, causing Ling Xin, who was also a woman, to be momentarily entranced.
But it only lasted for a moment before Ling Xin came to her senses. "No, the fragrance is coming from her. Has she mastered Granny Qianxiu's divine ability?"
It had to be known that Mahoraga was born deaf and mute, but in exchange, he had an extremely developed sense of smell. Just like ordinary snakes, he relied more on his sense of smell to move around than his eyes, which had regressed to the point where he could only see up close.
Granny Qianxiu was a fragrant god who could imitate all kinds of scents in the world. As Ji Yaoyue danced, Granny Qianxiu unleashed her divine ability and exuded the fragrance that was most suitable for luring Mahoraga over.
Mahoraga tore through the trees in its path as it charged toward Ji Yaoyue. However, the moment it approached, Ji Yaoyue tapped her foot against the ground and leaped to another treetop. Like a kite, she controlled Mahoraga's movements.
"She's luring Mahoraga out, but what was it that attacked him just now? No, I can't let this continue! " Although the Holy Maiden had her doubts, she had already made up her mind. After stabilizing herself on the snake's back, she waved her hand, sending a ten-zhang-long cloud of dust flying toward Ji Yaoyue.
At this moment, another dark light shot out of the forest toward Mahoraga.
"Caught you, show yourself!" With a sharp glint in her eyes, the ten-zhang-long Light Dust suddenly changed directions. One end of the dust swept up the dark radiance that was attacking Mahoraga while the other passed through the branches and headed deep into the forest in the direction of the dark radiance.
Compared to Ji Yaoyue, Goddess Ling Xin was more concerned about the enemy hiding in the shadows. Thus, she had feigned an attack on Ji Yaoyue to lure out the enemy hiding in the shadows.
In the depths of the forest, a flock of birds flew away in fright. A figure flew straight out of the forest, while the ten-zhang Light Dust suddenly changed direction and flew straight up into the sky, chasing after the figure.
When the figure saw that he couldn't dodge, he tapped his foot in the air and turned into a sword light that attacked the Heavenly Maiden.
Celestial Maiden Ling Xin was already on guard. She flicked her wrist, and the other end of the long silk pincer her from the front and back. In the blink of an eye, it formed a giant cocoon that tightly wrapped around the newcomer.
"Retract!" Celestial Maiden Ling Xin softly shouted. She formed a hand seal, and the giant cocoon suddenly shrank.
But at this moment, there was a hissing sound as a gap appeared in the layers of white silk, and a bit of black gas seeped out. Then there was the whistle of a sword, and a figure broke out of the cocoon and landed on the body of the fleeing snake.
"It really is you, Yaksha King!" Celestial Maiden Ling Xin looked at the newcomer and shook her long silk, shaking off the dark radiance that had been wrapped around it. It was a long nail. "This is … the Sinful Nail?"
Although Celestial Maiden Ling Xin had never seen this item before, she could not help but say its name. The Yaksha Tribe was spread throughout the Three Realms, and one of them was a ghost soldier in Hell. Among the many punishments in Hell, one was to refine the sins of the person being punished, forge them into nails, and then use the nails to pin the limbs and torso of the person being punished. This was the so-called self-inflicted karma.
"So what if it is?" the Yaksha King said coldly. Given his status, it was not surprising that he had this kind of Sinful Nail on him. Although Mahoraga did not fear any poison in the world, the Sinful Nail was not poison, but karma.
When Mahoraga was hit by the nail, as the sin spread, he would be infected by the karma of others. If he reached a point where karma could no longer be retracted, he would definitely fail in his shedding.
Celestial Maiden Ling Xin used a Buddhist observation technique and glanced to the side. She saw that where Mahoraga had been hit by the nail, there was already a dark, rotting spot spreading. This was karma that could not be seen with ordinary eyes.
At this time, Mahoraga's attention was completely focused on Ji Yaoyue, and the Sinful Nail was as thin as a cow's hair compared to his enormous body. It did not hurt or itch at all, so he did not notice it at all. All he did was chase after Ji Yaoyue, unwilling to let go.
"One is luring its attention, and the other is using the Sinful Nail to inflict karma that does not belong to it. Is this your scheme? But I'm afraid I won't let you succeed! " The celestial maiden was indignant at this method. She raised her eyebrows, and the thirty-meter-long Light Dust turned into several wisps that swept out like the nine tails of a spirit fox.
"Can you stop me?" The Yaksha King coldly snorted, and his sword turned into a devouring ghost. Although he had managed to break free from the celestial maiden's restraints at the last moment, he had still been at a slight disadvantage. Now that they were fighting again, he did not hold back at all.
As a result, a strange scene appeared on Spirit Snake Island.
A woman's figure rose and fell, changing positions on a tree as she danced about like a fairy.
Behind her, an unimaginably large serpent seemed to be intoxicated as it chased after her.
On the galloping serpent's body, black and white, long silk against sword Qi, a man and a woman engaged in an intense battle.
"Brother Ying has actually reached this level?" She knew that the Yaksha King was born from Ying Feiyang's inner demons, and his strength was not much different from Ying Feiyang's. But after a few moves, Celestial Maiden Ling Xin was shocked.
Although she knew that Ying Feiyang's cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds after coming out of the Wariness Tower, only when she fought with the Yaksha King, who was not much different from him, would she know how much he had improved.
The Yaksha King's sword was surrounded by black sword Qi, and it spun around. Sometimes it was agile, sometimes it was sharp, and sometimes it was fierce. The sword seemed to have thousands of changes, and the law of movement was supported by the Yaksha's supernatural power, so it was as fast as a ghost.
Sword moves and movement techniques complemented each other. The offense was frightening, and the defense was watertight.
In terms of foundation, Celestial Maiden Ling Xin was far superior, but in terms of changes in the moves, the Yaksha King had the advantage. In terms of advance and retreat, both sides were evenly matched.
Thinking back to the Buddhist Conference a few years ago, when Celestial Maiden Ling Xin fought against Ying Feiyang, Xie Lingyan, and Zuo Feiying, she was still able to win. Now, the huge gap between them had been closed. Celestial Maiden Ling Xin felt ashamed, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of envy and jealousy.
But in that moment of distraction, the Yaksha King rushed past the serpent's body, and took advantage of the gap to stab a Sin Nail into the serpent's body.
Celestial Maiden couldn't stop it in time, and the long nail entered the serpent's body. Another black spot spread on the serpent's body, faintly connecting with the previous black spot.
