Chapter 904: The Way of Life and Death
After guessing Guitou's intention, Xiao Mian immediately took action.
Before even having time to cancel the Five Spirit Wall, Xiao Mian evacuated from the ruined manor and retreated to the entrance of the mountain pass with the ball in hand.
As soon as Xiao Mian left the ruins of the manor, those invisible sword energies were like headless flies that had lost their target, turning a blind eye to Xiao Mian who was not far away.
Wandering around the ruins of the manor, those invisible swords finally started killing each other.
Invisible sword energy blasted at each other, shocking explosions came and went, bursts of psychic blasts waxed and waned...
The manor on the top of the mountain, which had been turned into ruins, suffered another round of more brutal ravages, so that there was no longer a tile in the entire manor, and even the hard rock below the manor was affected by the explosion of invisible sword energy. Suffered a terrible disaster.
Gradually, the mountain peak that was originally as straight as a sword actually sunk in.
The strange thing is that those powerful invisible sword energy only wreaked havoc within the original manor. They turned a blind eye to Xiao Mian and others who were only a few dozen feet away from the ruins of the manor, and did not spread across the border at all. The meaning of attack.
This made Xiao Mian even more horrified and couldn't help but frown in deep thought...
Is it true that Duanmu Feng is insane as Guitou said?
Gradually, the invisible sword energy raging above the ruins became less and less.
Looking around, the once-splendid manor has long since disappeared, replaced by a huge pothole hundreds of feet in diameter...
The entire mountain peak seemed to have been worn away by those invisible sword energies.
Not to mention, after the invisible sword energy completely destroyed the manor, it seemed that because there was nothing left to destroy, they actually shifted the target of their attack to the mountain itself, so that the huge potholes were seriously dented and full of fine particles. Pebbles.
Looking at the crater that looked like a fallen meteorite, Xiao Mian swallowed.
In a hurry, he had asked Guitou to check Yin Jiansheng's condition. Yin Jiansheng only suffered some skin injuries, but he was still unconscious.
After inspecting it, Guitou only said that Yin Jiansheng was fine.
After hearing the news, Xiao Mian put aside half of his thoughts.
But now it seems that although the scene has returned to calm, it is obvious that this calm is just a brief pause between the storms.
At the end of that deep pit, there is a powerful spiritual energy brewing...
It would be a big joke to say that Duanmu Feng was killed by the invisible sword energy he activated while in a state of insanity!
Obviously, the other party is preparing for a bigger and crazier explosion.
However, why did the previously gentle and gentle Vajra Sword Ape suddenly change his temperament?
Could it be that Yin Jiansheng offended the other party?
Or is it that the Diamond Sword Ape has ulterior motives?
After much thought, Xiao Mian couldn't think of a reason.
With a glance, Xiao Mian saw that the little sword ape quickly calmed down after the initial panic, and he couldn't help but think about it.
"Little guy! Is your father mentally ill?"
"You...your father...is sick! Shenjing Bing!"
"..."
Xiao Mian couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the little sword ape learning to talk on his own.
After thinking about it, Xiao Mian took out a pill and handed it to Little Sword Ape.
The little guy had no doubt about it, so he took the elixir and swallowed it into his mouth. But soon, it stood up and looked at Xiao Mian with disbelief.
Just because what Xiao Mian fed to the little sword ape was a magical elixir!
Putting his right hand on the little sword ape's forehead, Xiao Mian poured his true energy into the little sword ape's body, helping the opponent to release the effects of the elixir as quickly as possible.
Because of this, within a moment, the little sword ape's eyes became active.
"Many...many thanks for the gift of medicine, senior!"
In just a moment, Little Jian Yuan spoke much more eloquently. While speaking, he even thanked Xiao Mian respectfully.
"This is your chance! But you must have seen that your old man's situation doesn't seem to be good..."
"My father is having a relapse of his old illness. He will be fine after a while!"
"Relapse? Has he ever had this kind of insanity?"
"Insanity? That's right! My father did have this kind of behavior. In the past few years, it was better, but it only happened once a year. Since last year, it has happened once a month. But he just had an attack a few days ago. Why? Suddenly again..."
When Little Jian Yuan said this, Xiao Mian's brows were already furrowed.
The seventh-level monster—an existence comparable to the intermediate-level ancestor of the human Nascent Soul, is it really insane?
This possibility is not impossible. For example, some powerful demon cultivators spend their whole lives studying the secrets of the demon clan, but in the end they end up going crazy.
Just looking at the movements of the Vajra Sword Ape, it doesn’t look like he is possessed!
Although Xiao Mian was reassured by Xiao Jian Yuan's words, he still couldn't grasp the key to the matter.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a bright sword light came rushing from the bottom of the mountain.
Xiao Mian's brows furrowed even more tightly. After signaling Kong Yuanren and Jing Chu to protect Yin Jiansheng and Xiao Jianyan respectively, Xiao Mian took a few steps forward and faced the sword light.
The sword light reached the ground and transformed into a man dressed in white with a head full of green hair.
Before Xiao Mian could say anything, the little sword ape behind him had already shouted loudly.
"Mom! You are finally back! Daddy, he...he..."
But it turns out that this woman in white is actually the mother of the little sword ape, the Taoist companion of the diamond sword ape Duan Mufeng.
This made Xiao Mian feel relieved, and he was secretly glad that he had given the little sword ape a pill to open his soul.
Otherwise, Duanmu Feng would go crazy, and the little sword ape would fall into his hands again. This situation would be difficult to explain...
"Jian'er! I know everything about your father, but why did you suddenly speak?" While speaking, the white-clothed woman's eyes swept over Xiao Mian and the other four one by one, and confirmed that the four were just protecting the little sword ape. Her cold face improved slightly. At this time, the little sword ape briefly told the origins and purpose of Xiao Mian and others. Hearing this, the white-clothed woman frowned slightly, staring at the unconscious Yin Jiansheng, and sighed quietly: "Since you are not from the lineage of the Vajra Sword Ape, why do you come to ask for the sword of life and death?"
"This... elder sister!" Xiao Mian was quite outspoken and said The topic was brought to the King Kong Sword Ape: "Senior Duanmu, is it okay?"
"It's okay! These are the sword energy of life and death that has accumulated in his body. If he cannot assimilate and integrate them, he can only release them regularly. Otherwise, the sword energy of life and death is enough to destroy his meridians. But I didn't expect..."
"The intervals between releases are getting closer and closer?"
"...Yes! Ten days ago, he just released the sword energy of life and death. I always thought that he would be safe for the next half month, so I left here to find a spiritual herb that can relieve this state. I didn't expect it to be only ten days!"
Speaking of this, the woman in white had a sad face.
If this situation continues to deteriorate, the monk in the golden robe who is as gentle as jade on weekdays will be forever trapped in the cracks of the sword of life and death!
"Big sister, what you mean is: once you practice the sword of life and the sword of death at the same time, will this result of the sword of life and death being irreconcilable?"
"Not entirely! For example, because I was born a Vajra Sword Ape, I was born proficient in the sword of life and the sword of death. They are even integrated into my blood and soul, and it is difficult not to practice them. But from the blood inheritance, the Vajra Sword Ape lineage has a way to avoid this risk - that is, specialize in one of the swords! Take me for example, specialize in 70% of the sword of life, and supplement 30% of the sword of death."
"In this way, the sword of life can suppress the sword of death, so that the sword of death in the body cannot be strong enough to compete with the sword of life?"
"That's right!"
"Then why did Senior Duanmu take the risk?"
"This...it's a long story..."
Having said that, the things that the woman in white said afterwards, to sum up, are just four words - competitive!
It turns out that the practice of the woman in white who specializes in the 70% sword of life and the 30% sword of death can avoid the irreconcilable situation caused by the equal strength of the sword of life and death, but it will also make the woman in white lose her purity of sword cultivation.
From the beginning, the King Kong Sword Ape was a variant between the White Eyebrow Sword Ape and the Blood Evil Sword Ape, which can be said to be a confinement engraved in the blood.
There is a way to break this confinement.
That is to practice 50% of the sword of life and 50% of the sword of death at the same time!
If the sword of life and the sword of death can be perfectly integrated together, it can even create the sword of life and death that is superior to the sword of life and death!
However, how easy is it to practice the sword of life and death?
Often, nine out of ten people who practice will go crazy.
There is another person, just like the insane Duanmu Feng, who is falling into madness...
"This...isn't this a dead end?"
"Who says it's not! So your friend really came at the wrong time - if I were here, I would definitely not agree to teach him the way of life and death sword!"
The words of the white-clothed woman made Xiao Mian and the other two pale.
The three of them accompanied Yin Jiansheng here with the intention of helping Yin Jiansheng's swordsmanship, but they didn't expect that after going through a long circle, they ended up hurting Yin Jiansheng?
There is nothing better than doing bad things with good intentions!
"It's just that I never thought that he would..."
"What? Is Senior Duanmu's situation unusual?"
"How should I put it! There's nothing else, but the speed and frequency of his madness are too fast and too high. Logically, he can completely suppress the conflict of life and death sword energy in his body to once a year, until he breaks through to the eighth level! By then, maybe he can break through and then stand up, and achieve the supreme prestige of my Vajra Sword Ape lineage!"
"So there is such a cause and effect..." Nodding, seeing that the woman in white was worried but not anxious, Xiao Mian couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is it okay to let Senior Duanmu ruin himself? If you need any help..."
"I have my own way!"
As she spoke, the woman in white took out a green and dripping spiritual herb...
