Chapter 250: Soul-Calming Bell
"Hehe... Brother Xiao, don't bother! My Red Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma can not only enter the body of the cultivator through the nose and mouth, but also through the skin surface. Brother Xiao, don't think that everything will be fine if you hold your breath!" With such a chuckle, Wan Dongyao reminded in a kind way: "Brother Xiao, don't use flying swords or magic tools to test attacks casually! There is also a trace of "blood evil energy" in my peach blossom miasma, which can only defile magic tools and flying swords. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Thank you for the reminder, sister Wan!"
Wan Dongyao's words were originally intended to try to anger Xiao Mian, but Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard the words, and then an idea flashed through his mind.
After discussing with Guitou again and again in his mind, Xiao Mian decided to take a risk.
Although Xiao Mian didn't know what the so-called blood evil energy was, if the blood evil energy was used to defile magic tools, it would be almost useless to Xiao Mian, because Xiao Mian didn't intend to use magic tools or flying swords to attack the peach-colored smoke, but planned to use his half-baked secret technique, the Golden Bell Cover!
However, the Golden Bell Cover that Xiao Mian wanted to build at this time was not the Five Elements Golden Bell Cover that he practiced day and night, but a Soul-Suppressing Spirit Cover built with a single Soul-Suppressing Toxin.
After these days of hard work, Xiao Mian has discovered that to successfully build the Golden Bell Cover, it is necessary to start from both the physical and spiritual aspects. The so-called physical nature is the spiritual energy that constitutes the Golden Bell Cover. For example, if Xiao Mian wants to build the Soul-Suppressing Spirit Cover now, he must have the Soul-Suppressing Toxin; as for the spirituality, it is the trace of Buddha nature that was emitted at the beginning. After Xiao Mian's research, he found a tricky method, which is to use one of his seven souls to temporarily act as that spirituality to control the formation of the Golden Bell Cover.
The advantage of doing this is that the formed golden bell is more flexible and more compatible with Xiao Mian. However, if the golden bell is broken, Xiao Mian's soul body will also be damaged to a certain extent. However, this is a rather difficult injury to the soul for ordinary cultivators, but it is not so difficult for Xiao Mian, who has the immortal stone that can automatically warm the soul and the "Soul Separation Method". This is also the biggest capital for Xiao Mian to dare to take risks.
The reason why Xiao Mian used the soul-suppressing poison to condense the golden bell is that the soul-suppressing poison can suppress the soul, and it is thought to be effective against the red cloud peach blossom miasma. The most important thing is that the soul-suppressing poison is colorless and odorless, and no gods or ghosts know it.
Do it when you think of it. Anyway, Wan Dongyao trapped herself in the red cloud peach blossom miasma, so Xiao Mian simply sat cross-legged on the ground and condensed the soul-suppressing spirit cover.
Seeing this, Wan Dongyao frowned. She didn't believe that Xiao Mian didn't even dare to try once or twice, and just gave up. You know, even a poor casual cultivator has one or two useless rags, let alone Xiao Mian. It should be okay to try the power of Red Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma with them, right?
But Xiao Mian didn't do that. Instead, he sat quietly on the stage. Could he have a way to break the Red Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma?
No!
Impossible!
This is a perfect plan that I have painstakingly come up with. There may be a solution in a long time. How could that bastard find a way in such a short time?
While Wan Dongyao was thinking about it, many spectators in the audience had already started to make a noise, some encouraging her, some mocking her, but Xiao Mian seemed to hear nothing.
After a moment, Xiao Mian suddenly stood up and walked towards Wan Dongyao and Red Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma.
Everyone in the audience shut their mouths and watched how Xiao Mian responded.
But Xiao Mian just walked straight, without holding up any defensive magic weapon or using any secret technique, and walked into the range of the peach blossom miasma.
The audience was speechless, and many people thought that Wan Dongyao's so-called red cloud peach blossom miasma was just a bluff, but they didn't expect that Xiao Mian was fooled.
Wan Dongyao naturally knew that she was not bluffing, but before she could figure out how Xiao Mian could enter the red cloud peach blossom miasma without any injury, a big hand had already grabbed her white jade neck and lifted her up.
"You... wu! How could you..., let me go!"
"Sister Wan, if you admit defeat, I will let you go!"
After holding Wan Dongyao hostage, although he lifted her up, Xiao Mian did not use much strength.
Although Xiao Mian wanted to use all his strength to strangle the little demon girl Wan Dongyao's neck, he knew that was impossible. Not to mention that Wan Dongyao's biological mother, Madam Yuan Yan, the Yuanying ancestor, was sitting on the high platform and watching, and would not give Xiao Mian such an opportunity. Even if Yuan Yan did not come in person, if Wan Dongyao died unexpectedly in the sword fighting meeting, the Demon Shadow Sect and the Five Elements Sect would be in a dead end.
Therefore, Wan Dongyao did not feel a fatal threat for a while, but what she felt was a strong suspicion and fear.
Thinking about it, Wan Dongyao decided to delay for a while, because she saw a blood light rushing towards Xiao Mian's back.
That was - the blood evil spirit!
According to Wan Dongyao's inference, Xiao Mian must be wearing some kind of precious clothes that can block the peach blossom miasma, so he can be safe and sound. But if that precious clothes is contaminated by the blood evil energy, its power will definitely be greatly reduced or even broken. At that time, maybe it will be her, Wan Dongyao, who will beat Xiao Mian up. Wouldn't that be more advantageous than forcing Xiao Mian to a draw?
But Wan Dongyao would never have thought that Xiao Mian, who had practiced the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse", could actually refine the physical properties of external objects into his own body, and even practiced the "Soul Separation and Soul Separation Method", which was a whimsical idea to integrate the soul body into the Golden Bell Cover Secret Art, and formed a layer of colorless, odorless, invisible and intangible soul-soothing spiritual energy cover on his body surface.
After realizing Wan Dongyao's intention to delay, Xiao Mian also discovered the blood evil energy behind him, but the blood evil energy was as fast as lightning, and Xiao Mian was holding Wan Dongyao in his hand, so he couldn't avoid the impact of the blood evil energy for a while and was hit directly.
Wan Dongyao was overjoyed when she saw it, but before she could be happy for a moment, the extremely annoyed Xiao Mian waved his hand violently and threw Wan Dongyao out of the range of the Red Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma. Under the infusion of strong wind, he threw her directly out of the ring without paying any attention.
If a cultivator falls out of the ring, he loses the fight. Wan Dongyao is definitely the first one to be thrown out of the ring in such a shameful way.
Xiao Mian was also very angry about Wan Dongyao's vicious heart. Although he couldn't kill her, he was determined to make this bitch look bad. At the moment when Wan Dongyao was thrown out, Xiao Mian injected a trace of soul-soothing poison into her body, so that Wan Dongyao wanted to control her qi after falling out of the ring, but she couldn't move or speak, and she fell straight to the edge of the ring.
There was silence at the scene for a while, and then laughter broke out.
Although Wan Dongyao was not injured, she was so ashamed and angry, and she couldn't use any strength. Fortunately, Lu Chengzhi saw something wrong and hurried forward to help her up.
Lu Chengzhi's sword-like eyes stared at the ring and Xiao Mian in the red cloud.
At this time, Xiao Mian was filled with blood evil energy, and felt hot all over. Obviously, although this trace of blood evil energy was extremely small, the grade of blood evil energy seemed to be very high, so that the poisonous relic in Xiao Mian's body could not absorb it completely for a while.
After a while, the poisonous relic absorbed all the blood evil energy completely, and Xiao Mian suddenly blasted the red cloud peach blossom miasma from the inside. In the red clouds that fell like peach blossoms, Xiao Mian turned around and stared coldly at Lu Chengzhi and Wan Dongyao in the audience.
"Humph! Humiliate yourself!"
A light snort that sounded like a self-talk resounded throughout the audience. Everyone thought who dared to be so disrespectful to the Demon Shadow Sect. Looking for the sound, they saw Qingqiuzi leisurely crossing his legs, his eyes swept across the audience, as if he was afraid that others would not know it was him.
Madam Yuan Yan's face was extremely ugly, on the one hand because Xiao Mian dared to throw her daughter Wan Dongyao out of the ring, on the other hand because of Qing Qiuzi's almost explicit ridicule, and the inexplicable looks everyone gave her at this time.
But from beginning to end, Madam Yuan Yan couldn't say anything to Xiao Mian, after all, the other party defeated Wan Dongyao in a serious duel, but Wan Dongyao's methods were dirty and seemed a bit unpresentable. With a turn of her eyes, Madam Yuan Yan came up with a plan.
"Hmph! This kid surnamed Xiao is really good, but he can withstand the blood evil energy with his flesh body. Could it be that he is a rare 'blood spirit root'?"
As if turning a blind eye to Qingqiuzi's provocation, Madam Yuanyan looked directly at Danqiusheng and said: "It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the sword demon Dugu was a blood spirit root. He practiced blood evil energy and condensed the blood evil sword with blood evil energy. During this period, he killed countless people and washed the world with blood. It can be said that it was a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. Since then, there has been an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: if a blood spirit root appears, the whole world will punish him!"
"What? Yuanyan, do you think Xiao Mian is a blood spirit root?" Without waiting for the headmaster of the Five Elements Sect, Dan Qiusheng started to defend Xiao Mian, but the scholar had already turned around and whispered to Madam Yuan Yan expressionlessly: "I once personally checked the pulse of that boy! Although his spiritual root aptitude is somewhat special, it is definitely not a false blood spiritual root. If you don't believe it, you can examine it yourself. However, I just want to ask: How did your daughter get this trace of blood evil energy? Please teach me, Yuan Yan!"
"This..."
"Humph! It's not enough to humiliate yourself, but you still have to pester me?"
When Yuan Yan was speechless by what the scholar said, Qing Qiuzi turned to Yuan Yan and looked at the embarrassed Yuan Yan in an almost interrogative manner.
