The three of them waited in silence, thinking about how things had developed to this stage.
It wasn't regret! The higher a cultivator's realm, the less he would doubt his own goals! Even more so, he wouldn't feel sympathy in battle. A Swordsman's heart was as hard as steel, and a Dharma cultivator wasn't that soft either. This was a battle of orthodoxies. Friendship in battle would only result in harm to both sides!
The only way they could trace back was to find their own mistakes so that they could improve next time, and not doubt their own goals.
Lou Xiaoyi knew that he had made a lot of mistakes. He didn't have to fall into such a passive situation!
He knew that there were cultivators who wanted to encircle him and test their battle techniques. That wasn't wrong! What was wrong was the way he dealt with it. It wasn't pure! It lacked a kind of unruliness and appeared to be worried about personal gains and losses!
Unruliness was a kind of temperament. It was easy to say, but difficult to do. The difficult part was that a cultivator had to pull himself out of the intricate calculations and return to simplicity and naturalness!
This wasn't brainlessness!
He shouldn't have gone in circles to confuse his opponents in the Eastern Sea Continent. This showed that he wasn't confident. In the end, he didn't manage to escape, and all of this was within his expectations!
If a battle had happened on the continent, there wouldn't have been the Dragon of the Deep Sea's Breath, and he wouldn't have been swallowed into the stomach of a sea beast!
He had been thinking about luring his opponents to the Imperial Oyster Reef Plate from the start. This was a mistake! It wasn't that he shouldn't have flown in this direction, but he shouldn't have used this as the basis for the entire chase. It was too deliberate!
The Imperial Oyster Reef Plate could only be used as a backup plan, and not as the cornerstone of the battle!
How should he fight? The simplest and most direct way was the best!
He should have flown back at full speed from the start! If his opponents had the ability to catch up, then he would fight. If they couldn't, then he would just die! This was the true essence of Sword Manipulation. It wasn't deliberate, it wasn't pretentious. If he had done so, he could have forced the Three Pure Ones to fight on the continent, and there wouldn't have been the Dragon of the Deep Sea's Breath!
The core of the problem was that the Three Pure Ones wanted to surround him! He didn't make full use of this!
He acted as if he was desperately returning. Based on this point alone, he could have made the Three Pure Ones lose sight of one thing, and then eliminate them in the midst of their movements. He could have used Sword Manipulation tactically, but not strategically!
He was too petty and didn't let go!
Being unruly, carefree, and following one's heart's desires were also a part of manipulating the sword. It was not manipulating the sword according to the rules. Doing so would cause one to lose a kind of spirituality in battle!
Beating you up is my pleasure, letting you go is your luck. Not letting the rules and regulations bind me is the true way to control my sword!
It wasn't just the sword that was manipulated, it was the heart that was manipulated!
Inside the stomach that was as black as ink, Lou Xiaoyi took a huge step forward in his mental state. His sword heart finally began to become clear!
However, Gentle Breeze and Gentle Breeze were thinking about something else. Junior Apprentice Brother Dafa's whereabouts!
The three of them were about the same in terms of knowledge and cultivation. The peak of Jin Dan was not something that could be reached by one person. It required a long period of unrelenting hard work and willpower that exceeded that of an ordinary person!
If they could find their way to the esophagus cover, then the Swordsman, whose orthodoxy was not as diverse, could also find their way here. Dafa would definitely be able to do so! There were no accidents! Although the environment inside the stomach was harsh, there were no active attacks from Tao Wu!
Dafa's absence could only mean one thing. He had chosen a different direction!
This was also in line with Dafa's personality. In the sect, he was always the special one. If everyone went east, he would definitely go west! It was as if he was trying to prove something!
As time passed, the possibility of this happening increased. However, they would still wait, waiting for that 'what if'!
He did not have the intention to attack the Swordsman with the three of them. Killing each other in such an environment would be a short-sighted act. Not to mention, the three of them might not even be able to kill the Swordsman here. They would pay a heavy price!
The deeper consideration was, what if their plan did not succeed? What if Tao Wu did not vomit? What if everyone went out and Tao Wu did not let them go? In such a situation, the Swordsman was an absolute expert in battle. If they worked together, their chances of escaping this predicament would greatly increase!
They could not be influenced by hatred and fall into a trap of death!
In the darkness, Gentle Breeze let out a long sigh. "It's time. Let's get ready!"
The one day time limit was up. If Dafa still did not show up, then he definitely would not show up. He had chosen a different path for himself. Who could say for sure which path was better?
The three of them were ready. At the same time, they extinguished the protective restrictions on the storage rings in the wine cellar! The storage rings of the Jin Dan cultivators all had restrictions on them. Those were special restrictions that were unique to them. Once they were invaded by an external force, they would self-destruct. Not only would the space in the storage ring be destroyed, the items inside would also be damaged in the explosion. This was the standard of the Jin Dan cultivators!
The storage rings they had now all had a space of one to two feet. It was equivalent to the space of a small room. If it was used as a wine cellar, the amount of wine stored in it would be considerable. Wine bottles, wine jugs, wine barrels, and so on were not as sturdy as spirit tools. They were all ordinary tools. How could they withstand such a strong impact from the spatial energy?
In an instant, four room-sized bottles of wine were poured into Tao Wu's stomach. The strength of the effect was not something that could be described as excessive drinking.
Gentle Breeze did not hesitate. With a tap of his finger, he forced out three drops of heart's blood. That was the essence of a cultivator's life, but to a Demonic Beast, it was the best medium to cause them discomfort!
The blood and wine mixed together, emitting a strong aura. Even a Yuanying level Demonic Beast like Tao Wu was greatly affected. It was extremely uncomfortable!
The three of them could feel the walls of Tao Wu's stomach trembling violently, rippling layer by layer. Even they could feel Tao Wu's body spinning and turning, like a drunkard struggling to get out of control …
However, Tao Wu did not vomit!
Amidst this extreme discomfort, Tao Wu could still remember what was in its stomach! Those were four great tonics. If it opened its mouth and spat them out now, it would suffer a great loss!
The three people in its stomach waited with hope. However, a moment later, Tao Wu's strong nerves controlled its desire to vomit. It swore to turn these four humans into nourishment for its children. The great motherly love made it shut its mouth tightly, like a poor loser who had accidentally drunk a cup of 1982 Lafite at a banquet …
Vomiting was absolutely not an option. It was too wasteful!
Gentle Breeze was a little disappointed. The power of the blood wine would not last for too long. Creatures with strong bodies like Tao Wu would quickly adapt to this feeling. They did not have much time left, but they could not even pour out a single bottle of blood wine!
What else could they do?
Lou Xiaoyi took the lead and placed his hand on the protruding part of Tao Wu's esophagus, massaging it with all his might!
"Stroke it!"
This kind of action came from the natural reaction of ordinary people when they were drunk. Of course, he could not use his finger to stab Tao Wu's throat. The only thing he could do was to press down on Tao Wu's esophagus!
He did not understand the nervous system of Demonic Beasts, so he did not know if this would work.
However, he had to do something, right? He couldn't just wait like this, right?
Gentle Breeze and Tao Wu also guessed his intentions. Although it was unreliable, it was better than nothing!
The three Jin Dan began to stroke Tao Wu's esophagus with all their might, hoping to save their little lives!
