The youth laughed and said, "You're wrong. Although I've never seen the Jueyin Zither, I've heard the theory behind it. The zither's function is to sense the user's thoughts. According to her instructions, the enemy's heartbeat and organ metabolism will be under her control, greatly changing the frequency. When the human body can't withstand it, it will naturally die. This is the true mystery of the Jueyin Zither's attack method. "
Cheng Jiaxuan seemed to understand but not fully. He said, "It's about the same as my Afterimage Sword. How come the seven fiendish treasures … are all of them like this? " The youth said, "Not necessarily. These weapons are only external aids. That's why it's said that the core lies in the Seven Fiendish Arts. When you've mastered the Peerless Divine Arts and cultivated both internal and external, you'll have the sharpest treasured saber and treasured sword, the deadliest hidden weapon, and the most powerful poison. When you're fully armed, won't you be able to change the dynasty and sit on the throne? Therefore, the eight words' when the seven fiends gather, the world belongs to 'aren't just for show. "
Jiang Liechen didn't think much of it. He said, "You just said 'the most powerful poison in the world'. What's that?"
The youth laughed bitterly. "Although your injuries are serious, your hearing is still very good. The last treasure is called 'Broken Love'. It's made by extracting the juice of hundreds of strange flowers and plants, then placing it in a jar and burning it on a yin flame for seven days and seven nights. This thing is extremely poisonous. As long as you take out a drop and flick it on someone else's body or smear it on a weapon before a battle, the affected area will be completely corroded. There's no antidote. If you use both Broken Love and Bereaved Heart at the same time, you can really call yourself invincible. However, the victim won't even have a single bone left. Once this medicine is used, it doesn't leave the slightest bit of mercy. That's why it's called 'Broken Love'. "
Jiang Liechen looked pensive. He said, "Then what do you think will happen if you drink the entire bottle of poison?" The young man had encountered a lot of strange things, so he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what the young man said. He said embarrassedly, "Well … it's probably … the intestines are pierced through, the bones are melted, and the flesh is completely corroded. The whole person then turns into a pool of pus that emits a foul smell … Cough, if you really want to commit suicide by taking poison, there are a lot of options. For example … the common Red Crane Head, which can reduce the pain. Moreover, why waste such a precious poison …? "
Jiang Liechen said, "What I'm thinking is that since it's called the Love Severing Sword, perhaps drinking it can completely eliminate the seven emotions and six desires. The successor chosen by the Seven Fiends Treasure was bound to be an extraordinary person. They had to first pass its test before they could have any hope of cultivating the demonic path. If they couldn't pass this test and directly died from the poison, then there was no need for them to be delusional. This is the bridge between humans and devils. Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether one has the courage to do what no one has done before. "
The young man laughed dryly and said, "Why must we sever the seven emotions and six desires? You, Hierarch Jiang, have killed countless people in your life. You're already ruthless enough. Perhaps drinking the Love Severing Sword will have no effect at all because it can't poison you. "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's where the trouble lies. I can kill anyone alive without hesitation, but the ones I really can't let go of are the two dead people. Every time I think of them, I think of their hateful gazes, and how they insulted me without a shred of affection. They were the only people I cared about in my life. One died because of me, and the other was killed by my own hands. When I think of this, my heart feels like it's being pierced by needles. I hate this kind of pain. I said that the demonic path is ruthless. Only by being ruthless can one achieve greatness. I won't allow anything to tie me down, and I won't allow any weakness to remain. In any case, I've already lost everything. This life is just something I picked up. I want to see what that damned heaven can make me lose. Hurry up and tell me where to get it! "
The young man laughed dryly and said, "Alright, you and I are still 'people of different paths cannot make plans together'. That Broken Love has been lost for a long time. More than ten years ago, it was found by Senior Mu Qingyan. Recently, it appeared in Yunnan's Miaojiang. It's said that upstream of the Lishui River, by the Maoyan River, there was a bloody battle. In the end, it was taken by the Hierarch of the Five Venoms Sect. "
Jiang Liechen said, "Five Venoms Sect? Ji Qiannian does have some ability. Very good … "He thought of how Ji Qiannian admired him very much. She would often find excuses to joke with him. She also repeatedly proposed to the previous Hierarch, Zaketu, to merge the two sects. On the surface, it was to strengthen their forces, but in reality, it was to spend more time with him. When they were together, she always listened to him. Now that she had obtained Broken Love, it was as if it was already in his pocket. He immediately felt relieved. The young man said, "What, is she an old acquaintance of yours?"
Jiang Liechen said, "More than an old acquaintance! Ji Qiannian has always loved me deeply. No matter what I say, she will carry it out like it's a divine decree. " Cheng Jiaxuan thought that there was another woman who loved him. His heart did not feel good. Now that he actually had to ask her for help, his jealousy continued to surge.
The young man laughed and said, "It's hard to say. You must know that the human heart is the most unstable thing in this world. Now that you have encountered different things, your positions are completely different. The Five Venoms Sect is flourishing day by day. She is also the leader of a sect. You are nothing. Do you think she will still love you as before? The Five Venoms Sect is a sect that is used to using poison. Broken Love to them means a lot more to them. Even if she agrees to give it to you, the sect's subordinates will oppose it. If there are too many people, they won't be able to suppress it. It will be extremely easy for them to fight among themselves. If she can't become the Hierarch, it won't be good for you. "
Jiang Liechen was full of disdain. He raised his hand to stroke the hair that fell in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he touched the mask on half of his face. He cried out in his heart, "My … my face …" In front of him, he had no power or influence. His appearance was completely ruined. He also suffered injuries all over his body. He was afraid that even the vagabonds on the streets would not be as miserable as him. He really could not find anything worth admiring. He also lost some confidence. He was fretful and uneasy. He said angrily, "So what? Whatever I say, she has to do it! How can that group of slaves have the right to speak? "
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Hierarch Jiang … you are really overbearing. The girls who like you are going to have bad luck. Although I know a lot of beautiful ladies, I usually love them. I will never be such a heartless man. " Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You are a noble young master surrounded by beautiful women. Every day, you are surrounded by flowers. How can you know the suffering of others?"
The young man cast a glance at the beam where he was hiding. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He said, "That's right. Don't you want to know why I trust you so much when I told you the secret of the Seven Demons Treasure the first time we met?"
Jiang Liechen said, "I was just about to ask." The young man said, "Actually, it is very simple. This matter is very ordinary in my eyes. It is not a big secret. Whoever wants to know, I will tell them. One more competitor will make the game more interesting. Why not? "
Jiang Liechen said in a low voice, "You know a lot of things." The young man laughed and said, "You are too polite. I just have a lot of connections. With everyone's help, there is nothing I can't find out." Jiang Liechen's voice suddenly turned cold. He said gloomily, "Unfortunately, the more you know, the faster you will die!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whooshing sound. From behind the beam, several thin threads shot out. They attacked from the top, the middle, and the bottom.
Fortunately, the young man's eyes were always looking at the beam. When the threads came out, he was immediately alert. He dodged to the side and said with a bitter smile, "It is still a child's trick." When the thread brushed past his shoulder, he pulled his elbow inwards and stretched out his wrist. He grabbed the thread and pulled it in reverse. His left hand passed under his arm and grabbed the other thread.
The thread was like a living thing. The bottom half of the thread suddenly changed direction and wrapped around the young man's calf. Several more threads flew out from behind the pillar. The young man's fingers did not loosen. His left hand pulled the thread he had grabbed to the side and barely blocked the attack. His right hand drew several semicircles to entangle the thread. As soon as the thread touched his wrist, it coiled around his forearm like a vine. The young man tried to struggle, but the thread wrapped tighter and tighter around him. A red mark appeared on his pulse. There was another attack coming toward his chest.
The young man had no choice. He kicked the ground with his heel and jumped up. He somersaulted in midair, entangling the thread on his wrist and the other threads. He thought, "You say you are seriously injured, but you are not careless. Why do you want to kill me? Are you afraid I will tell the secret of the Seven Evils Treasure to other people? That is preposterous! "
The threads from behind the beam continued to shoot out. They all passed through the gaps in his body. After waiting for a moment for the attack to slow down, he assumed that the thin threads would be exhausted soon. Quickly turning to the side, he flipped over and landed on the ground. The thin threads on his wrist were stretched to their limit. He exerted his strength and with a 'pop' sound, several of them broke. Taking advantage of this opening, he reached into his pocket and took out a dagger. He waved the dagger in front of him, cutting the threads one by one.
The thread coiling around his calf was entangled with several other threads. Now that the rest of the threads were broken, this thread had nowhere to borrow strength. It was loose and without any strength. The young man parted his legs. The thread fell to the ground and spread out into a loop.
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "Your skill is not bad." The young man was caught off guard and was attacked by him. He was thrown into confusion. Ever since he met an enemy, he had never been in such a difficult situation. Anxious and angry, he said, "Next time you want to compare notes with me, you should let me know first. If my skill was not good enough, I would have been killed by you early on." "Humph," Jiang Liechen said, "In a life and death battle, the enemy will not be so kind as to warn you." That young man was just about to agree with his words when he suddenly heard a 'sou' sound as several thin threads shot towards Cheng Jiaxuan who was standing on the side.
Threads were originally very flexible, so even if they were struck on the body, there would not be much feeling. But once internal energy was poured into the thread, it would be as sharp as a sword, or as sharp as an iron rod, enough to injure and kill. Not to mention that Cheng Jiaxuan's acupoints were sealed and she was unable to move. Even if she could run or jump, based on her strength, how could she evade this kind of fast attack? She stood still with her eyes wide open in fear, but she could not even cry out.
The young man thought that the first round of attack was over, and that the most that would follow would be a battle of words. Who would have thought that as soon as he said he would attack, his target would be Cheng Jiaxuan, who was unable to evade at all? In this critical moment, he did not have time to think. He only had one thought in his mind: this young lady was sealed by him, he must not let her get hurt. He pounced on Cheng Jiaxuan and leaped to the side to evade.
Jiang Liechen had already anticipated his move. Seeing the two of them evaded, she used two threads to block the incoming path, and then shot three threads in the direction the young man was retreating. The young man stood on one leg with Cheng Jiaxuan in his arms, his free hand tugged at the threads, trying to use the same method as before. But this time he was afraid he would injure Cheng Jiaxuan, so he was exceptionally cautious. He only saw that her side was unharmed, so in a moment of carelessness, after tugging on two threads, the third one slipped through and scratched a wound on his left arm. Blood trickled down his sleeve, contrasting with his white robe, it was particularly eye-catching.
Cheng Jiaxuan cried out in alarm, "You … your injury … is it serious?" Seeing this man was injured in order to save her, she felt very sorry. Hastily she tore the front of her robe to bandage his injury. The young man disdainfully said, "This is just a small injury, what's the big deal?" He stretched his hand backward and broke the two threads. Raising his voice, he said, "Enough! I admit defeat. Is that enough? "
With a 'whoosh' the remaining thread was pulled back. Jiang Liechen coldly said, "Being distracted in the middle of a battle is one thing, but in order to save the enemy you accidentally injured yourself … what a joke … you are indeed a rare gentleman."
