"Gongzi, it's my turn to save you this time."
At the same time, with the same belief, Xie Anping waved her long sword, and a cold light flowed. Surrounded by swarms of insects, she protected Gongzi Ling alone.
In order to hide her identity, Miao Er, who was possessed by Gu Xuanzhi, did not dare to bring powerful venomous insects. Now, the insects besieging Gongzi Ling were made by Miao Er with the help of local materials. Strictly speaking, they were not even venomous insects, so although there were many of them, their power was limited.
Only three golden-winged moths, two flying centipedes, a green-scaled snake, and a red thorn were refined by Miao Er on the spot with the help of the venomous insects. Although the refinement was done in a hurry, they could still pose a threat to Xie Anping.
But now, most of the threats were gone.
Although it seemed like a lifetime had passed since the last time she used her sword, as Xie Anping waved her sword, the moves imprinted in the depths of her memory emerged instinctively. Stab, point, flick, sweep, all kinds of light and agile sword moves appeared in her hands.
And her body, which belonged to Xie Lingyan, no longer resisted her consciousness. It seemed that Xie Lingyan, who was sleeping in the depths of her consciousness, stood on the same side as her in order to protect Gongzi Ling. At this moment, her mind and body were united, and her form and mind were united, making her moves more and more perfect.
Not long after, the swarm of insects froze into powder, and only two flying centipedes, a small snake, and a few thorns could pose a threat.
But Xie Anping still did not dare to be careless. First, she needed to protect Gongzi Ling, and she was worried that he would be lost if she defended for too long. Second, she was worried that Miao Er would refine more strange venomous insects on the spot if she delayed for too long.
Not wanting to delay for too long, Xie Anping thought of a plan. But she pretended to be tired after a long battle, and deliberately showed a flaw in her moves, exposing half of her forearm outside of the sword light.
The green-scaled snake seemed to know how to counter moves. After seeing the flaw, it immediately turned into a green light and flew out, biting Xie Anping's forearm.
However, Xie Anping had already secretly activated the "Mystic Moon Ice Feather Art". Ice cold true essence condensed on his forearm. Before the little snake's poisonous fangs could pierce into his skin, the fangs were already wrapped in a layer of ice condensed from the cold air. Not a single drop of venom could be expelled.
Without the corrosion of the snake venom, the bite was not even worth mentioning. However, Xie Anping let out a delicate cry and pretended to be bitten.
It was a dangerous move. Even if the opponent was an experienced Gu God of Southern Border, he did not expect such a risky move.
For a moment, Miao Er was fooled and thought that this was a rare opportunity and did not want to give Xie Anping a chance to force the poison out of his body.
However, at this moment, Xie Anping, who seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, suddenly steadied himself. With a swing of the sword in his hand, the small snake on his arm was instantly frozen and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.
As he shook off the small snakes, his sword style was natural. In an instant, the Sword Qi poured down from the land of Guanghan like the cold moon. Wherever it passed, frost and ice formed. It was the Guanghan Towering Void Sword, one of the Six Great Sword Techniques of Ling Xiao Sword School!
The swarm of insects rushed into the range of Xie Anping's sword style. How could they resist the falling Sword Qi?
As the cold light flashed, the flying centipede was cut into pieces by the Sword Qi. The red stingers were frozen into ice particles and fell to the ground. The rest of the poisonous insects were also killed and injured.
"Clap! Clap! Clap! "
However, Miao Er did not care about the death of the poisonous insects caused by the misjudgment. Instead, she clapped her hands and praised, "You have some skills. Unfortunately, in front of the Ancestor, you are still too young." As she spoke, a golden Golden Toad climbed up Miao Er's left shoulder. With the rhythm of Miao Er's clapping, the Golden Toad's cheeks also bulged as if it was laughing at Xie Anping's futile effort.
"Your venom is really endless …" Xie Anping saw that the Golden Toad looked extraordinary and was secretly shocked.
"Are you guarding against it?" Miao Er stretched out her spring-like fingers and gently played with the Golden Toad on her left shoulder. "Actually, you don't have to guard against this little guy. This little guy looks precious, but it is actually a defective product with a short life. From birth to death, it only has a fifteen minute lifespan. After fifteen minutes, it will collapse and die. Then, the problem comes —"
"When the Ancestor moved here, he passed by the Rainbow Dial. At that time, the Rainbow Dial pointed to half past the hour of the sea. It was also at that time that I gave birth to this little guy. Then, when this little guy died, what time was it?" Miao Er asked, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up, revealing an innocent and childish smile.
"Isn't it three quarters past the hour of the sea? Saying something irrelevant, are you trying to buy time to give birth to more poisonous insects? " Xie Anping ignored Miao Er's words. Then, his eyes flashed and curved into a crescent, revealing a victorious smile. "Unfortunately, time is not only on your side. You don't have time!"
As if to prove Xie Anping's words, behind the hidden door of the tunnel, a faint sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from afar.
That was the footsteps of Ying Feiyang and the others!
Xie Anping restrained Miao Er here until Ying Feiyang's reinforcements arrived.
After all, Miao Er was only Gu Xuanzi's host body. Her own cultivation was insufficient. As long as Ying Feiyang and Qin Feng arrived, they would be more than enough to capture her. Moreover, medicine and poison were inseparable. Chu Song's medical skills were more than enough to keep the endless poisonous insects in check.
When Miao Er heard the footsteps, her expression changed slightly. But the sword light was already right in front of her.
"Don't even think of escaping!" Xie Anping shouted softly, switching from defense to offense. He could not allow Miao Er to leave after her ambush failed, leaving behind an endless disaster.
Taking advantage of the fact that more than half of the poisonous insects had been lost and had yet to be replenished, Xie Anping raised his sword and fought with Miao Er.
"Swoosh!"
A portion of Miao Er's braid was shaved off, her hair falling messily. Although she had Gu Xuanzi's consciousness, her main body's cultivation was still low. Without the control of the Gu insects, how could she block Soaring Sky's cold sword?
As Miao Er dodged pathetically, she summoned back the few poisonous insects she had left. She flew up and down, attacking left and right, intending to harass Xie Anping.
Even if Miao Er wanted to disregard this body and order the remaining poisonous insects to perish together with Gongzi Ling, she did not know Gongzi Ling's current state. Even if Gongzi Ling really had no way to resist, the few poisonous insects she had left were not enough to protect herself. At this moment, the few remaining poisonous insects were not enough to protect themselves. If they wanted to divert their attention to assassinate Gongzi Ling, they would probably be subdued by Xie Anping the moment they thought of it.
Xie Anping was also aware of this. His sword moved agilely and quickly, not giving Miao Er a chance to counterattack. Xie Anping was already hard to deal with, and the footsteps outside the stone door were getting closer and closer …
But at this moment, Miao Er, who seemed to be trapped, dodged the sword light pathetically as she giggled. "You think you've stalled Old Ancestor? Actually, it's Old Ancestor who doesn't care about your delay. You were given a new life by Old Ancestor, do you think Old Ancestor can't control you? "
Xie Anping's expression changed, but the ice sword in her hand did not hesitate at all. It went straight for the Golden Toad on Miao Er's left shoulder. Although Miao Er said that she did not need to be wary of the toad, Xie Anping did not intend to listen to her.
Miao Er, who was distracted talking, could not dodge the sword. She simply raised her shoulder and used her left shoulder to block the attack for the Golden Toad on her shoulder.
Miao Er was instantly pierced by the ice sword. Blood flowed like a fountain, but her right hand had already fumbled for a sewing box from her belt. She opened the box with one hand and laughed.
"Still wary of this little fellow? What you should be wary of is this! "
The Mountain Village Demoness often carried sewing boxes, and there were three embroidery needles in the box. They looked ordinary, but before Xie Anping could discover anything strange, one of the embroidery needles had already shot out.
"Hidden weapon?" Xie Anping was shocked, but her swordsmanship was not messed up. She pulled out her sword and casually flicked it. The fine needle that was as thin as a cow's hair was accurately flicked away by her. Then, the sword turned and stabbed towards Miao Er's right hand that was holding the sewing box.
But before her sword could reach the end, she suddenly heard a sound as thin as a mosquito behind her. Xie Anping was alarmed, and with a turn of her feet, she withdrew her sword and flew to the right.
After dodging, Xie Anping could clearly see what was behind her. It was the thin needle that had been shot out.
"This needle can actually return after being sent away?" Xie Anping did not have time to be surprised, but the thin needle had already confirmed her guess. Like a maggot in a tarsal bone, it changed its direction again and closely followed Xie Anping.
Xie Anping did not expect that the needle would chase after her like a living thing. At this moment, she was at the stage where she had used up all her previous strength and had not yet recovered. Although she forcefully twisted her waist and changed direction in the air, her ankle was still grazed by the thin needle.
But his ankle was still grazed by the thin needle, and with just this small needle, Xie Anping felt as if his body had lost all feeling and was no longer under his control. He fell straight to the ground.
At this moment, the footsteps had stopped outside the door, followed by the sound of a mechanism turning …
"You … can't escape …" Xie Anping wanted to struggle, but she could not move at all. She could only squeeze out a few words with all her might.
"Elder Ancestor, why do you want to escape? It's still the same question from before. What time do you think it will be when this pitiful little thing dies? " As Miao Er spoke, she suddenly saw the Golden Toad burst like a bubble. With a "pop", thick blood splattered on Miao Er's fair and tender face.
Miao Er stuck out her tongue and licked the blood that splashed on her face. She announced the answer, "The correct answer is, it's already midnight. It's you guys who have no time!"
Just as Miao Er finished speaking, Gongzi Ling, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, but his pupils had already lost their color.
A wave of pure vital energy spread out with Gongzi Ling as the center. The energy wave formed a circle, and wherever it passed, the remaining poisonous insects were all blown away and killed by the shock.
The energy wave dispersed, and Gongzi Ling's head drooped down as if he had lost consciousness.
Miao Er laughed softly. Her figure suddenly flashed, and she appeared in front of Gongzi Ling, her five fingers grasping Gongzi Ling's drooping head. She praised in her heart, "Haha, what a good Gongzi Ling. While suppressing the Gu insects in his body, he can still divert his attention to condense vital energy."
Seeing the vital energy dissipating from Gongzi Ling's body, Miao Er understood. Gongzi Ling had indeed concealed his true and false energy, hiding the power of an attack.
But now, the little bit of vital energy that Gongzi Ling had secretly accumulated had instantly dispersed because he had lost consciousness, only killing a group of useless poisonous insects.
If she had rushed forward rashly, she would have suffered Gongzi Ling's counterattack and been restrained on the spot.
But she had no intention of going forward, and she did not even intend to determine Gongzi Ling's actual strength. From the beginning, she had no intention of doing anything other than waiting.
Using words, using poisonous insects, and repeatedly probing Gongzi Ling were actually just stalling for time to cover up her true goal — waiting quietly.
Waiting for the fifteen minutes she had "stolen" to take effect, waiting for the midnight hour to arrive earlier than the other demons had expected!
Once the midnight hour arrived, the Gu insects in Gongzi Ling's body could no longer be suppressed and exploded. They cleansed his memory, taking away everything he wanted to forget, and everything he did not want to forget.
"Crack — Crack —"
The stone door by the side slowly floated up, but Miao Er knew that the reinforcements behind the door could not stop her. Qin Feng, Chu Song, and that damned disciple of Gu Jiansheng, no matter who came, were now like Gongzi Ling, an empty shell without consciousness.
And it would be too wasteful if she did not make use of this empty shell.
No one could stop the Parasite that carried Gu Xuanzhi's consciousness from moving along Miao Er's arm to Gongzi Ling.
