Chapter 1344 - Decimation
Chapter 1344: Decimation
The Ecstasy Powder was not a poison, but an illusion-creating shot!
This powder was actually mostly used for recuperation purposes. Its main use was to help the user forget the pain of their wounds. Users would enter a state of hallucination. Many young gentlemen also loved to use Ecstasy Powder to create illusions. This helped them to escape the troubles of reality and allow them to feel happy while alone in the illusion zone.
Jiang Yi was a very careful person. He always kept his thoughts in order. Luo Qingyan dared not employ any other means. If he found out what she was up to, she would die for sure. This Ecstasy Powder was not poisonous at all, and it was fragrant. On the surface, it felt like it could nourish one’s soul. This ensured that Jiang Yi did not get suspicious.
Luo Qingyan calculated all these things correctly. She guessed that Jiang Yi would need to find a place to rest and recover once the Rootless Water wore off. Thus, she decided to use this chance to act. If Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was not weak, he would not have wanted to absorb so much Ecstasy Powder. Normally, absorbing Ecstasy Powder would not cause one to fall asleep. It would only cause hallucinations. If anything were to happen, the user would snap out of the hallucination naturally.
However, it was different this time. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was very weak already; it could not withstand the effects of the Ecstasy Powder. Breathing in too much caused Jiang Yi to fall into a deep sleep. It was easy to explain why Luo Qingyan remained unaffected. Bodhi fruits could nourish one’s soul spirit. This helped her to neutralize the effects of the Ecstasy Powder.
Everything was perfect!
One had to admit that Luo Qingyan was a genius. While she was taken hostage by Jiang Yi, she managed to come up with a plan like this in such a short time. Her acting was extremely good earlier as well. She managed to make Jiang Yi unconscious.
At that moment, the restrictions around the room were up. Without Jiang Yi’s orders and if nothing odd happened outside, Gu Mu would not come in by force to inspect the area. If she attacked Jiang Yi and he died, Gu Mu—his soul slave—would die at the same time. As for the Black Deity? Just one spiritual blow from Luo Qingyan would probably be enough to dissipate his soul spirit now.
Luo Qingyan walked towards Jiang Yi, her gaze fixed on him as he was fast asleep. Now, she had a difficult problem to solve. How was she going to kill Jiang Yi?
She had a way to undo the seal that Gu Mu put up around her dantian, but it needed time. The moment she attacked the restrictions, Gu Mu would know. Then, he would surely undo the restrictions and obey Jiang Yi’s orders to kill her.
She could not do anything to the seal. That meant she could not use her heavenly powers as well, and she could not employ her nomological mystical abilities or various other types of attacks. Luo Qingyan’s eyes darted around as she thought deeply. She thought about whether to send a signal to the Luo Clan to ask for back-up, so that she would at least have help.
She came up with the second condition, for a God King from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan to follow them so that there would be someone for her to work with. She had one jade token with her. If she crushed it, Sixth Elder would know immediately. Then, he would send a voice transmission to the God King following them to work closely with her.
“No way!”
Luo Qingyan very quickly rejected this plan. The God King from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan who was following them was not as powerful as Gu Mu. He would not dare to act alone so he would wait for back-up from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan. Either that, or he would go back to the Earth Emanations Pavilion to look for help.
Too much time had already passed. For all she knew, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan already realized something was amiss. If Sixth Elder brought men down here, and the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan took the chance to attack, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would be utterly destroyed. The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan had support in the Blue Eagle Prefecture, but so did the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. The Prefecture Lord of Blue Eagle Prefecture would have no choice but to punish both parties equally without considering their guilt.
As for asking the Earth Emanations Pavilion in this city for help, Luo Qingyan did not even bother to think about it. The Earth Emanations Pavilion would never allow its clan members to fight within the city unless Luo Xiang was here!
“It’s been so long. Father must have received news about me by now, shouldn’t he? Yet, he has not done anything. There’s a high chance that he’s been held back by something big going on in Blue Eagle Prefecture… I guess I have no choice but to take this risk.”
Luo Qingyan thought about many things and then decided to act on her own. She activated her spiritual attack and tried to destroy Jiang Yi’s soul spirit. At that moment, Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was exceptionally weak. Luo Qingyan had been eating immortal fruits which nourished her soul spirit as well. Now, her soul spirit was as strong as a mid-tier God General’s.
Could a mid-tier God General’s spiritual attack not defeat a mere Heaven God’s soul spirit?
Luo Qingyan believed it could!
She stood beside Jiang Yi, staring at him for a while. She used her divine senses to scan Jiang Yi’s soul spirit again and again. At last, she acted.
Swish!
Both of her eyes lit up with a golden light. This light flashed and entered Jiang Yi’s mind at once. Then, it turned into ten thousand golden lines, which shot toward Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness. This was the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s unique spiritual attack, the Divine Needle Soul-Crusher. With billions of spiritual lines, it attacked the enemy’s soul spirit attack and caused them to be defenseless. Almost immediately, their souls would be crushed.
Tsk! Tsk!
The trillions of golden lines looked just like trillions of fine, golden needles. Like rain, they shot towards Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit. Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit did not react at all. It was almost like a dead town in there.
“Break!”
Luo Qingyan’s eyes lit up as the trillions of golden needles rushed towards Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit from all directions. These spiritual golden needles were extremely sharp; they pierced through Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit quite easily and began to attack him from inside. They were working to break his soul spirit and crush his soul.
“Ahhh!”
Jiang Yi woke up in excruciating pain and let out a terrifying cry. He felt like someone had poured an entire pot of boiling water on him while he was asleep.
A sharp pain shot throughout his entire soul spirit, making him feel like his soul was about to dissipate. It was a good thing that his Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly provided him with a burst of energy. A golden light lit up around his soul spirit, preventing it from falling apart.
“Jiang Yi, go and die!”
Luo Qingyan’s divine senses locked in on Jiang Yi’s soul spirit, and she transmitted a voice into his mind. Then, she pulled out the golden needles from Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit and pierced them in again in a crazed manner. She was confident that another round of attacks would cause Jiang Yi’s soul spirit to dissipate for sure.
Characters in Xiaozhuan!
At that moment between life and death, Jiang Yi reacted. The primordial spirit which looked just like his Fire Dragon Sword flashed with blinding light. The three dragon patterns swam away, and characters in Xiaozhuan floated out, emitting a sacred and powerful aura.
“What is this?”
The moment those characters in Xiaozhuan appeared, Luo Qingyan’s own soul spirit tensed up. She could feel the power of those characters in Xiaozhuan. The moment they appeared, the sacred and powerful aura engulfed her; and she found that she could no longer move those golden needles. What’s more, the needles were slowly disappearing.
“This is not something that belongs in the Earth Domain. This must be some kind of Heaven Domain mystical ability. Jiang Yi, where exactly are you from?”
Luo Qingyan exclaimed. Both she and Gu Mu reacted in the same way. At that moment, her entire body trembled. She knew Jiang Yi’s character inside out. If she did not kill him, he would become a maniac and seek revenge. He would highly likely use those flames of his to burn her alive.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi’s characters in Xiaozhuan kept flying around his spiritual consciousness. In a couple of seconds, they destroyed the trillions of golden needles inside. Then, he steered them to emerge from his spiritual consciousness and intrude into Luo Qingyan’s. Ruthlessly, he caused them to crash against her soul spirit consciousness.
He was still extremely weak; he could not even summon his Merged Flames. He was not allowed to, in any case. They were in the city now. If he summoned his flames and alerted the Earth Emanations Army, he would definitely be killed. Since Luo Qingyan spiritually attacked him, he would match her—an eye for an eye!
Buzz!
Luo Qingyan’s primordial spirit contained a defensive divine artifact. They were five pearls, constantly revolving around her primordial spirit. At that moment, all five pearls were glowing and revolving around her soul at top speed.
Jiang Yi was extremely enraged. He could not care less about anything else. Steering the characters in Xiaozhuan toward those five pearls, he hardened his jaw and said in a cold tone, “Luo Qingyan, you forced me into this. Don’t blame me for decimating you!”
