Chapter 81: Joining Forces
Sikong Cuo died, not because of Qi Xuansu's sneak attack, but because of the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" in his body.
After Bai Yingqiong triggered the sins in Sikong Cuo's body, Sikong Cuo was like a powder knives that was about to go out of control, but he could still maintain it, and after Zhang Yuelu's sword, this maintenance was to the point of collapse. In the end, Qi Xuansu's sneak attack broke the last balance, causing this "powder knives" to completely lose control.
This knife, even if it pierced the heart, was nothing to a celestial being in the infinite stage, but the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" was completely out of control, which was extremely fatal. The karma fire was not an ordinary flame, burning the soul, so that Sikong Cuo didn't even have the chance to take over the body of the Yin God, and was directly annihilated, and died.
Bai Yingqiong, Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu, the three are indispensable, and without any one of them, Sikong Cuo, a Taoist priest at the realm of the Lord of Creation, could not be put to death.
Strictly speaking, Sikong Cuo did not even die at the hands of Bai Yingqiong, but died by himself. After all, the "Red Lotus Karma Fire" itself is not very powerful. The key lies in the amount of sin, which varies from person to person. For another person who cultivates his character, the so-called karma fire may be just a breeze on his face. This is probably a case of one's own fault.
Once Sikong Cuo died, the small world he maintained could not continue, and Pei Xiaolou, who was trapped in it, was able to escape.
At the same time, Bai Yingqiong did not watch the show, but took advantage of the time when Siming Zhenjun recovered his divine body to try to break free from Siming Zhenjun's restrictions. In any case, Siming Zhenjun did not descend to the world in a golden body, nor did he directly manifest the kingdom of God in the world, and it was far from the point where the infinite heavenly beings had too much power to fight back.
The lotus formation that had originally shrunk into a bud bloomed again, and the light was bright. Bai Yingqiong, who stood in it, used all his magic power to the extreme, and at the same time cast six superior talismans. The talisman paper spontaneously ignited without wind and turned into six thunders.
The world's magic is dominated by thunder magic. The reason for this is that thunder magic is the most yang and strong magic. It is the only magic that is not restrained, including the blood and qi of warriors. Moreover, thunder magic can counter the most yin things, including yin qi.
The world's thunder magic is dominated by Shangqing Zhang. These six talismans are from the handwriting of the Great Immortal Mansion. After the six thunders exploded, they immediately cleared away the surrounding yin qi.
Bai Yingqiong took this opportunity to abandon a "destined puppet" and escape.
The so-called "destined puppet" is similar to the "fake body for disaster response" of the exiled immortal and the "cicada molting technique" of the scattered people. However, compared with the latter, the former has a wider range of applications. It is called "puppet". Substitute for death and disaster response is only one of its functions. It can also attach yin spirits or part of thoughts to it, making it a simple clone with flesh and blood, speaking freely, and even fighting with others.
However, it needs to be refined in advance, using hundreds of years of dark wood and lightning wood as materials, and then watered with blood and sweat, consuming cultivation, and it takes three months to successfully refine.
This is also the consistent style of Taoist alchemists. They are also proficient in magic. Wuzhu relies on incense and vows, while alchemists rely on various external objects, especially talismans, straw men, puppets, and various spellcasting materials, from cow tears and black dog blood at low levels to demon blood and inner elixir at high levels, which require costs.
"Fake body for disaster" and "Cicada molting technique" are no-cost businesses. This is where the two immortals of heaven and earth are unreasonable. They use the power of heaven and earth for their own use, and the heavenly man who is one with heaven and man comes from this. The scattered people are just imitations of the exiled immortals who follow the light.
Bai Yingqiong appeared out of thin air not far from Zhang Yuelu, and in the palm of Siming Zhenjun there was a dull-looking Bai Yingqiong. After a moment, the outer clothes, hair and skin turned into ashes like burning white paper and flew away with the wind, revealing the true face of the puppet, with all kinds of talismans engraved all over the body, densely packed.
At this time, Siming Zhenjun's sight also followed.
There was a white sun and a black moon on the sky, which were Siming Zhenjun's eyes. Wherever his eyes went, the yin energy rushed up, the yin and yang were reversed, the five elements were disordered, and all people's realms and cultivation were greatly affected.
Qi Niang's "Dragon Eye Armor Three" did severely injure Siming Zhenjun, but it was far from killing Siming Zhenjun. In this very short time, Siming Zhenjun had recovered more than half.
Without Siming Zhenjun's order, many guards with hollow discs hanging behind them rushed towards the three people.
Bai Yingqiong waved her sleeves, and many palm-sized paper figures flew out from her sleeves. They fluttered and grew taller in the wind. In a blink of an eye, they became as tall as a person. They wore white helmets and armor, were wrapped in ribbons, and held various weapons in their hands, including swords, spears, halberds, and golden melon hammers. They were very majestic, just like the heavenly soldiers and generals in vernacular novels.
This is the "sowing beans to make soldiers" of the alchemists. It is not necessary to use beans, but paper figures can also be used instead. These paper figures are essentially carefully prepared talismans.
To be fair, the Taoist sect has never been afraid of these spells leaking out, just as the Taoist sect does not care that the Eight Divisions have stolen the skills of the spiritual officials. The core key lies in the Taiping money. Without the Taiping money, even if you learn it, you can't afford it.
After these paper figures appeared, they immediately formed a formation, quite like the rules of the black-clothed men, and then killed the fate officials.
The two sides, one black and one white, fought in one place. These paper figures were essentially dead objects, so the bronze swords in the hands of the fate officials, which were similar to ghost swords, were useless. Although the fate officials were individually powerful, they could not withstand the larger number of paper figures, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.
Siming Zhenjun's right eye suddenly lit up, and a dark and cold light like a crescent moon shot out from the quiet black moon.
Zhang Yuelu turned the paper sword in his hand into an open paper umbrella and took the initiative to meet him.
The two intersected silently, but Zhang Yuelu's figure suddenly sank, leaving a circle of cracks on the ground under his feet, and the "Five Qi Smoke Net" around him also dimmed and flickered.
Zhang Yuelu exhaled heavily: "So powerful, worthy of being an ancient immortal."
Then, Siming Zhenjun's left eye lit up again, and countless pale flames fell in the blazing day, as if it was a rain of fire.
Pei Xiaolou raised the bamboo stick in his hand, and used all his strength to mobilize the true energy, turning into a little starlight. As the bamboo stick was waved, the starlight connected into pieces, like a miniature galaxy, barely blocking these pale flames. However, Pei Xiaolou's face was pale, and it was obvious that he was exhausted.
Siming Zhenjun's right eye slowly closed, and the quiet black moon disappeared. The white day in his left eye grew bigger and bigger, and countless pale flames fell from the sky like a storm, sprinkling all over Jinling Mansion, accelerating the speed of absorbing Yin Qi.
Wherever the pale flames fell, dead objects such as houses were intact, but flames ignited on the bodies of living people, turning into mummies at a faster speed than the Yin Qi swept through.
After the pale flames fell, Siming Zhenjun's left eye closed, and the burning white day disappeared. His right eye opened, and the quiet black moon appeared again, and then a huge ripple spread out in all directions with Siming Zhenjun as the center, sweeping across the entire Jinling Mansion.
This time it was aimed at people with cultivation. For celestial beings, they just felt a tightness in their chests and had difficulty breathing for a moment, and then they were safe and sound, but people with ordinary cultivation felt as if they were drowning and suffocating, and couldn't breathe.
For a while, many people with poor cultivation fell to the ground. Even Qi Xuansu felt very uncomfortable, but fortunately, the heat continued to flow out from his chest, helping him to dissolve this suffocating feeling.
After a while, Siming Zhenjun finally opened both eyes at the same time, and the sun and the moon were in the sky.
His eyes, as if real, looked directly at Qi Niang on the Yuhuatai.
Qi Niang, who was dismantling the giant cannon, covered her face with her sleeves: "What are you looking at? Look, can you kill me?"
For ordinary people, Siming Zhenjun's eyes can really kill people, but it obviously has no effect on Qi Niang. In Siming Zhenjun's sight, as Qi Niang raised her sleeves to cover, the entire Yuhuatai suddenly became dark, and even his "Sun and Moon Hollow True Pupil" could not see through it.
At this time, the large group of people led by Li Tianlan finally arrived, along with the black-clothed men stationed in Jinling Prefecture. Although the previous ripples caused a lot of casualties, they still retained a certain combat power, not to mention that there were several celestial beings, and together with Bai Yingqiong's subordinates, they began to encircle Zhenwu Lake.
A moment later, Lei Xiaohuan and Shi Luosi also arrived, and even several archbishops of the Holy Court.
At this time, no matter how they fought internally before, they had to unite and solve the great enemy Siming Zhenjun first.
