Chapter 525: Risking One’s Life
The lightning and thunder in the Heavenly Thunder Sound Barrier were gradually annihilated by the appearance of those chaotic cyclones, and turned into the energy of the chaotic cyclones.
In fact, even if they were not swallowed by the chaotic cyclones, they would gradually dissipate - although the Thunder Sound Pearl was known as a Buddhist treasure, it was only a one-time consumable magic weapon after all. Although the Heavenly Thunder Sound Barrier formed after being activated was quite powerful and was said to be able to trap all beings below the Nascent Soul Patriarch, it was limited in time after all.
After several battles between Xiao Mian and the old ghost, the Heavenly Thunder Sound Barrier was about to collapse. This was also because the old ghost could not wait to use his trump card after swallowing Cao Rong's true essence. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Thunder Sound Barrier collapsed, even if the old ghost successfully killed Xiao Mian, it would probably attract the covetousness of others.
After sending out five chaotic cyclones, the old ghost had to stop.
Each chaos cyclone may seem small, but it contains pure true essence and spiritual energy. If the old ghost had not devoured Cao Rong's true essence, it would have been his limit to be able to send out three chaos cyclones with his own cultivation.
Seeing that the five chaos cyclones surrounded Xiao Mian in a circular shape, and Xiao Mian was helpless, the old ghost exhaled a foul breath.
Now, after releasing five chaos cyclones, the old ghost's true essence taken from Cao Rong was exhausted, and therefore, the old ghost's cultivation fell to the high level of the golden elixir again.
Even because he did his best to send out five chaos cyclones, the old ghost's current state is not good, but at this time, the old ghost is sure to win.
Hum!
See how you run this time! ?
There is the heavenly thunder sound barrier outside, and the five chaos cyclones inside. If they were in the same place, even the old ghost himself did not think he could escape such a killing situation.
With a sigh, facing the five chaotic cyclones, Xiao Mian took out two pieces of chessboard fragments, held one in each hand, and shook them towards the old ghost.
The old ghost was stunned, and then controlled the five chaotic cyclones to stop.
"What? You want to threaten me with these two pieces of fragments?"
"How could it be!?" Shaking his head, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what this is! It's obviously empty, but it can't be filled with true essence. If not, with the unique quality of these two pieces of fragments, maybe they can destroy the chaotic cyclone!"
Xiao Mian's words made the old ghost stunned, and at the same time he secretly felt lucky.
It was indeed as Xiao Mian said, the quality of these fragments was extremely special, even the chaotic cyclone could not dissolve it. If Xiao Mian could really control the two fragments, the chaotic cyclone, which was regarded as a killer by the old ghost, might return empty-handed!
However, the Heavenly Thunder Sound Barrier was about to be destroyed, and the old ghost was unwilling to delay with Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian seemed to know this situation and took the initiative to express his thoughts.
"As the old saying goes, a dying man speaks well! Xiao has already been defeated, can you let me know what happened? May I ask, what is the origin of this thing?"
"... These three pieces were originally a chessboard!"
"What happened next?"
"Nothing happened next! The chessboard belonged to the old man, and he kept it in his arms all day. After the old man died, the three of us brothers thought it was a treasure, so we refused to give it to each other. During the fight, the chessboard broke into three pieces, and then each of us held one." At this point, the old ghost looked at Xiao Mian with a smile, "If I hadn't met you, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a piece of junk in my storage bag..."
"So, Xiao died because of a piece of junk?"
"It doesn't matter why you died, what matters is that you will definitely die!"
Having said this, the old ghost said no more, and suddenly activated the five chaotic cyclones.
Xiao Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly. He neither dodged nor blocked, but let the five chaotic cyclones hit his body one after another. Because those chaotic cyclones absorbed the lightning and thunder in the Thunder Sound Boundary of the Heavens, they were extremely unstable. After hitting Xiao Mian, they caused multiple explosions one after another, so that Xiao Mian's figure was submerged in the cyclone.
Seeing this, the old ghost breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had a sure victory before, the impact Xiao Mian gave him was too strong. If he had not seen Xiao Mian's destruction with his own eyes, the old ghost would always be uneasy. Now that the five chaotic cyclones have hit Xiao Mian head-on, it seems that even if this kid is wearing a mid-level defensive treasure similar to the Impermanence Shield, it will be useless.
For the chaotic cyclones launched by the old ghost's top-level Jindan cultivation, only high-level magic weapons can have an impact on it. High-level magic weapons are not everywhere even in Zhongzhou, which is known to be blessed by nature. The old ghost does not believe that Xiao Mian is so amazing.
Xiao Mian did not have a high-level magic weapon. With the means he had now, even if he summoned Guitou to help, he could not control those chaotic cyclones.
But Xiao Mian did not just close his eyes and wait for death. As early as when he felt that the chaotic cyclone emitted by the old ghost could assimilate all things, Xiao Mian's heart moved slightly, as if thinking about something.
It should be noted that Xiao Mian possessed the Sanqing Guiyuan body, which already had the characteristics of assimilating various spiritual energies of different attributes for his own use. If the chaotic cyclone can assimilate all things, can Xiao Mian's Sanqing Guiyuan body assimilate the chaotic cyclone in turn?
After realizing this, Xiao Mian secretly discussed with Guitou.
Guitou did not comment, which made Xiao Mian more certain - you know, now Guitou is living in Xiao Mian's body. If Xiao Mian died, Guitou would never be easy!
Prosperity and loss are all together, and Guitou's silence made Xiao Mian bolder.
Xiao Mian's previous attempts were actually just tricks to paralyze the old ghost; after that, Xiao Mian wanted to use his dying moment to trick out the secret of the strange chessboard; it was for this reason that Xiao Mian dared to let the five chaotic cyclones hit him one after another.
The moment the chaotic cyclones hit Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian did not feel any discomfort, but instead felt warm, as if he was soaking in a comfortable hot spring.
At that moment, Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If the old ghost knew that the chaotic cyclones he had tried so hard to launch were just a warm bath for Xiao Mian, would he be angry to death?
But soon, Xiao Mian couldn't laugh anymore...
Those chaotic cyclones couldn't hurt Xiao Mian, but Xiao Mian's existence seemed to have angered them, or there seemed to be something in Xiao Mian's body that attracted them.
After wrapping up Xiao Mian, the chaotic cyclones tried every means to rush into Xiao Mian's body. The cyclones changed constantly, and finally turned into trillions of tiny tentacles, like needles, drilling into Xiao Mian's body through the pores on his body.
Xiao Mian did not want to stop the invasion of the chaotic cyclones, but the true essence defense layer built by Xiao Mian collapsed at the impact of the chaotic cyclones, and was useless.
Besides, after the tentacles invaded Xiao Mian's body, they did not hurt Xiao Mian's body, but flowed slowly and happily along the true essence flow in Xiao Mian's body. Seeing this, Xiao Mian simply let go of his mind and let the chaotic cyclones toss.
Slowly and firmly, the chaotic cyclones that drilled in from all the pores of Xiao Mian's body gathered towards a specific place in Xiao Mian's body.
When Xiao Mian realized the destination of the chaotic cyclones, he was stunned.
Immortal Stone!
The chaotic cyclone was heading towards the immortal stone hidden in Xiao Mian's body.
When Xiao Mian realized this, the chaotic cyclone running in the front had already touched the immortal stone and successfully merged into it. Out of curiosity, Xiao Mian probed his mind into the immortal stone, and after these chaotic cyclones entered the immortal stone, they turned into a round ball again, floating in the empty space of the immortal stone, and kept their place.
As for the twelve black lines that had been living in the immortal stone before, they seemed to be aware of the entry of the chaotic cyclone, but they just retreated slightly and ignored it.
The two were clearly separated and did not offend each other.
Whether the chaotic cyclone wanted to rush into the immortal stone or the immortal stone was summoning the chaotic cyclone, Xiao Mian did not know, but it was undeniable that the immortal stone was indeed extraordinary...
But why did everything drill into it?
After a long time, wouldn't this immortal stone become a garbage can for collecting junk?
While Xiao Mian was laughing and crying, all the chaotic cyclones rushed into the immortal stone.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Mian grinned at the suspicious old ghost not far away.
The old ghost's face changed drastically. He never thought that Xiao Mian was hit directly by the chaotic cyclone, but he was not hurt at all. That's not all! Before, the old ghost swallowed Cao Rong's true essence and raised his cultivation to the top level of Jindan, but he couldn't do anything to Xiao Mian. Now, in order to launch the five chaotic cyclones, he almost used up all the true essence in his body. How can he fight against Xiao Mian?
In a flash, the situation reversed.
Looking at Xiao Mian's brilliant smile, the old ghost's face was full of bitterness.
Although the Thunder Sound Barrier of the Heavens was about to collapse, it had not collapsed after all. Not only Xiao Mian could not leave here, but the old ghost himself could not fly away.
The chaotic cyclone that tried its best could not kill Xiao Mian, and the Thunder Sound Barrier of the Heavens that was used to trap Xiao Mian became a cage that bound itself. It was really a cocoon for itself!
Xiao Mian didn't care about that. In order to prevent the old ghost from resisting stubbornly and jumping off the wall, Xiao Mian even asked the ghost head to show his spiritual consciousness and oppress the old ghost with a bitter smile.
The old ghost's face changed again and again after the spiritual consciousness was added.
Then, while the old ghost was suppressed by the ghost head's spiritual consciousness and couldn't move, Xiao Mian rushed up and subdued the old ghost in one fell swoop.
But at this moment, the old ghost spoke.
"Wait! I admit defeat!"
"Then what? Brother Old Ghost, you don't think we are fighting in the ring, do you?"
"I, Liu Dahuai, have killed countless people in my life, and even that old guy died at my hands. I have known for a long time that those who kill will be killed, but I didn't expect that I would die at your hands. I admit defeat! I am not asking you to let me go, but I just want you to give me a quick death for the sake of us all being cultivators from Nanyue Province!" Xiao Mian was stunned by what the old ghost said. Before Xiao Mian could express his opinion, the old ghost continued, "Of course! In return, I can tell you a secret! The secret of the Great Sunlight Realm!"
"Heh! Brother Old Ghost, you really don't stop until you say something shocking!"
"Didn't Brother Xiao say before: When a man is about to die, his words are also good?"
"Okay! But your Tiantian Leiyin barrier doesn't seem to last long. Before that, if you can convince me, I will fulfill your wish; otherwise..., hum!"
A cold snort, killing determination.
Even a vicious person like Lao Gui couldn't help but shudder when he heard Xiao Mian's cold snort that was almost frozen by murderous aura.
Without changing his expression, Xiao Mian loosened his right hand that was tightly holding Lao Gui's neck, but at the same time injected a trace of soul-soothing poison into Lao Gui's body to prevent Lao Gui from playing any tricks. Lao Gui's face changed again. When the soul-soothing poison entered his body, Lao Gui naturally felt it. Even with his many years of experience in the cultivation world, he couldn't tell the origin of the soul-soothing poison for a while, but he could feel the oppression brought to him by the soul-soothing poison entering his body.
Lao Gui seemed to accept his fate and started talking about the secret of the Great Sunlight Realm...
