Before using the Blood Poison of Pluto, Gu Songzi had sent a message to Zhang Ruochen. Thus, Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed into the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass and hid inside it.
According to Gu Songzi, the center of the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass could fend off the Blood Poison of Pluto.
Whoosh!
Ye Xiaoxiang didn’t dare to touch the Blood Poison of Pluto. She transformed into a black shadow, rushing back quickly. She was so fast that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t see her figure clearly. Naturally, she was faster than the blood.
After flying hundreds of feet into the air, she turned around quickly. Her sleeves billowed and two gusts of powerful Xuan Yin Wind flew out.
Whoosh!
The wind was so strong. In an instant, the cultivation land in this mountain was all torn up. Thousands of spiritual medicines were turned to dust. Dirt and pebbles were swept into the sky. Even the forest in the near distance disappeared section by section, turning yellow.
It was only wind, but land within a dozen miles all turned barren.
Thankfully, the formation from the middle ages protected this land. Otherwise, the destruction from the Xuan Yin Wind would be even more terrifying.
The Blood Poison of Pluto was scattered by the wind.
The Xuan Yin Wind didn’t stop. Dirt and trees flew in the air, darkening the sky above everyone’s heads.
At that moment, the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass showed its extraordinary side. The leaves curled in, turning themselves into a ball. At the same time, roots dug deep into the ground, latching on tightly.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the center of the grass. From among the grass, he could hear the piercing wind and see what looked like the world ending.
The one who tears hearts lives up to the name. No wonder the Saints of Kunlun’s Field are all terrified when hearing her name.
Zhang Ruochen pursed his lips, feeling worried for Gu Songzi.
Gu Songzi’s Spiritual Power was very strong and immeasurable, but his combat abilities were quite low. He was at most a Heaven Pass Realm martial artist’s level. How could he be Ye Xiaoxiang’s match?
One wasn’t stronger if their Spiritual Power was strong. It depended on what the Spiritual Power cultivator’s abilities were.
For example, some cultivators’ abilities were “prediction.” Then even if he was a Spiritual Power Supreme Saint, he still would have no combat ability. He could at most become a seer or strategist.
Gu Songzi was very powerful in the Poison Way, but he was more suited for sneak attacks and large scale battles.
When faced with a top fighter who was already on guard, poison wouldn’t be very effective.
Ye Xiaoxiang didn’t approach Gu Songzi. She pulled her slender fingers from her wide sleeves. Holy Qi poured out of her fingers, forming a chain of Demonic Qi. It wrapped around Gu Songzi.
Crack!
Gu Songzi crushed a scroll rune. Purple fire poured out, covering him. It burned the thick chains, turning them into scattering shreds of Demonic Qi. It couldn’t restrict him.
“Tiangang Purple Fire Rune.”
“Lord Ku, as expected, I cannot predict your methods with logic,” Ye Xiaoxiang said. “No wonder the sect leader had me come personally.”
Xiao Mie chuckled. “Lord Ku entered the Spiritual Power Saint King Realm many years ago. Even if you’re not a combat-style cultivator, you’re still powerful. If I guessed correctly, you didn’t only research the Pill and Poison Way these past 600 years. You also studied the Rune Way to have breakthroughs in combat, right?”
Gu Songzi wanted to take revenge, but his combat abilities were weak. Naturally, he had to find another method.
The Rune Way was a good choice.
“Since you want to try, I’ll make it easy for you.”
Gu Songzi took out two rune scrolls at once, putting them between his fingers. He threw them into the sky, attacking Ye Xiaoxiang and Xiao Mie.
The two Tiangang Purple Fire Runes were much stronger than the previous one. They were Gu Songzi’s trump cards. He’d produced them with large amounts of blood, sweat, and tears, and precious resources. He wouldn’t use them unless he had no other choice.
Boom, boom.
The two rune scrolls exploded in the sky, forming two rings of purple-red fire. The Spiritual Qi in the air shook violently. Two huge waves of Spiritual Qi scattered in the air.
The entire Xianji Mountain shook. Both human Saints and savage beasts were shocked.
“Such terrifying power. Did a Saint King come into Xianji Mountain?”
Martial Saint Canglan stood beside a creek and looked at the sea of purple fire in the sky. All she saw were fireballs raining down.
Even a mere fist-sized purple fireball would smash a huge ditch in the ground. The ground within a few feet all turned into lava.
How strong would the sea of purple fire in the center of the battlefield be?
Zhang Ruochen hid inside the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass. In his vision, only half of the towering mountain, thousands of meters tall, remained. The rest of the mountain had turned into red lava and flowed down the side. The scene was shocking.
“Gu Songzi actually has such a powerful move,” Zhang Ruochen murmured to himself. “He probably didn’t want to reveal his attainment in the Rune Way before and hid his abilities. Even if a Spiritual Power Saint King isn’t good at fighting, a Saint still shouldn’t offend him.”
Xiao Mie struck with 18 metal beams. They hovered in 18 directions and dense runes poured out of the pillars, forming a defensive formation. Each beam was hundreds of meters tall. Like 18 heavenly pillars, they spun quickly. Not only did they protect him, they also swept the members of the Demonic Night Palace into the formation.
Boom.
However, the two Tiangang Purple Fire Runes were too terrifying. The two seas of fire actually started melting the 18 formation pillars.
All of the Night Emissaries’ expressions changed. They felt death creeping closer.
Xiao Mie also inhaled sharply. He kept drawing formation runes, adding more formations around him.
Boom, boom.
With explosive sounds, the 18 pillars cracked. The Tiangang Purple Fire rushed toward them like a flood.
The seven layers of formations were as fragile as eggshells. They couldn’t stop the Tiangang Purple Fire at all. Xiao Mie and the Night Emissaries were about to die a tragic death.
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Mie’s expression turned cold. He actually dug out the two green eyeballs from his sockets and held one in each hand.
“Ghost Spirit Bi-Formation.”
As he poured Spiritual Power in, the two eyeballs produced explosive sounds. A ghost and a spirit shadow rushed out respectively. The two shadows were dozens of feet tall and established a formation.
The two shadows could finally block the Tiangang Purple Fire.
In the other direction, Ye Xiaoxiang used lightning speed and escaped from the center of the Tiangang Purple Fire Rune. She protected herself and escaped from the fatal attack.
However, a portion of her black robe had burned away. The snowy skin at her abdomen was exposed. For a big figure like her, this was very pathetic and embarrassing.
Xiao Mie held a green eyeball in each hand. The two divine and ghost shadows followed him on either side. “A Pill Saint cultivating the Rune Way to this extent… You are indeed my senior. I can’t help but be impressed.”
Ye Xiaoxiang flew down from the sky. Hovering around 30 feet above the lava, she held a ball of black light in her slender hand. It was like a black lamp.
A needle as thin as a strand of hair hovered in the light. This was the Xiaoxiang Divine Needle, the Ten Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon that terrified all Saints in Kunlun’s Field.
Gu Songzi smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing. “Since you can block the Tiangang Purple Fire without dying, I can only submit to my fate.”
“Since you submit to your fate, then please stop messing around and follow us back to the headquarters.” Ye Xiaoxiang walked through the air toward Gu Songzi.
“Palace Lord Ye, be careful,” Xiao Mie reminded. “How can a Spiritual Power Saint King surrender so easily? It’s better to seal his Spiritual Power with the Xiaoxiang Divine Needle first.”
Seeing that his plan had been foiled, Gu Songzi no longer acted weak and sent out ten rune scrolls.
Whoosh!
The Xiaoxiang Divine Needle flew out first. It formed a snaking path of light, penetrating the ten rune scrolls. Each scroll had a needle hole in it.
Crack, crack.
After that, dense cracks appeared on the ten rune scrolls. They turned to dust.
The Xiaoxiang Divine Needle continued flying to Gu Songzi’s forehead.
Seeing that all ten rune scrolls were destroyed, Gu Songzi lost all hope. He didn’t even feel like using his defensive rune scroll anymore. He just closed his eyes and awaited the final judgement.
Ding!
A small flower with three leaves flew out of the forest in the distance. It hit the Xiaoxiang Divine Needle and actually sent the Ten Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon flying out.
“Who dares to get involved in the Moon-Worship Demonic Sect’s matters?” Ye Xiaoxiang’s voice was chilling to the bone.
Cold Qi poured out of her. The lava on the ground cooled over, turning into hard stone.
Xiao Mie also grew cautious. After all, with Ye Xiaoxiang’s cultivation and the Xiaoxiang Divine Needle’s level, even her offhand throw was terrifying. Since the newcomer could send the Xiaoxiang Divine Needle flying, it meant that he wasn’t anyone average.
Rustle, rustle.
Sitting on the golden cobra’s head, Qing Mo walked out of the forest.
She was shocked to see the destructive scene. All the land within dozens of miles had turned into scorched dirt. The paradise-like scenery no longer existed.
Immediately after, the Crazy Alcoholic walked out. He reached out and took back the Three-Petal Nine Life Flower.
Right now, the Crazy Alcoholic’s aura was completely different from before. His back was as straight as a spear and his eyes were very sharp as he stared at Ye Xiaoxiang and Xiao Mie. “How dare you!” he roared. “Is this how Shi Qianjue told you to treat the former elders of the sect?”
