Chapter 0486 Absorbing Demons
Mu Xingqiu clenched his fist, then released it. The light ball inside disappeared. The magic from the Yashan Sword Washing Pool just disappeared silently, as if it was just a fun light and shadow trick.
Qi Wushang looked at the jade basin in his hand in confusion. It was indeed the Sword Washing Pool, exactly. It was carved from a whole piece of white jade. Facing the sun, you could see a circle of ancient runes, which were directly carved in the middle of the white jade with magic.
"This is impossible." Qi Wushang blurted out. This self-talk reduced his majestic temperament by more than half. Now he was just a skinny old man with an angry face. Except for the Fire Eye Demon Pill, there was nothing special about him.
Mu Xingqiu raised his hand and touched his hair, then he remembered that his straw hat had been damaged before he entered the amber. He scratched his forehead twice and said with a smile: "Nothing is impossible. The sword is also a treasure, and the straw hat is a mortal object, but they have one thing in common, they are all dead objects, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it is still a dead object, and it must be controlled by a living mind. Qi Wushang, you have inhaled too many demon seeds, and it is precisely the mind that is destroyed."
Qi Wushang's fire eyes shrank a little, but the green dot in the middle became clearer and clearer. He stared at Mu Xingqiu, as if he was thinking about what he said, and as if he was preparing to attack again.
Mu Xingqiu didn't care, turned to Zuo Liuying, and stretched out his hand, "Can you give me the sword back?"
Zuo Liuying's palm seemed a little stiff, like an iron palm controlled by a mechanism, and suddenly opened, and the Frost Soul Sword flew back to the original owner's hand. Mu Xingqiu gently stroked the sword body, and the branch-shaped patterns on both sides almost dimmed, leaving only the very end with some brilliance.
This is exactly what makes the Frost Soul Sword different. All the magic weapons in the world are dead objects. Only it, after receiving Fangfang's soul, has a living consciousness. Mu Xingqiu can enter amber and block Qi Wushang's heavy attacks. Most of the power comes from it.
Baldy was also transformed into a magic weapon by the Taoist priest, but it was incomplete from the beginning. After two washes in the sword washing pool, the nature of the magic weapon is even less.
Mu Xingqiu raised his head and looked at nearly a hundred Taoist priests who invaded the magic. "Thank you all, you helped me and Zuo Liuying a lot. Without you destroying the magic tree outside, Qi Wushang would not be in a hurry to come out, and Zuo Liuying would not have the opportunity to use the magic control technique on him.
Qi Wushang was startled, and the Fire Eye Demon Pill shrank even smaller, but still stared at Mu Xingqiu, not Zuo Liuying.
Zhou Qianhui suddenly realized, "So the other Taoist priests who have been infused with the spirit have not appeared, because they know... know that Taoist Zuo is going to try the magic control technique. "
The word "fellow Taoist" was a little reluctant, but it meant a change of attitude. Zhou Qianhui felt relieved once he found a reason for the Taoist priest of Yashan to stay in seclusion.
Zuo Liuying had already controlled a corpse demon, but in order to prove the effectiveness of a new spell, this was far from enough. He had to try it on a stronger enemy.
Qi Wushang's fire eyes finally turned to Zuo Liuying, and the scene in the amber was vivid: he hit Zuo Liuying repeatedly with the sword-washing pool spell, and blood gushed out of the Taoist priest's body, merging with the blood mist that filled the amber...
"You actually used witchcraft on me! "Qi Wushang understood. He should have understood it long ago, but this matter was too incredible. Taoism and demons are like fire and water. There can be no magic to control demons in Taoism. However, demons are similar but different. The so-called magic to control demons is a kind of magic evolved based on the blood sacrifice of the demons.
The magic has always been disdained by Taoists. Qi Wushang never thought that a Taoist who was infused with spirits would secretly learn the blood sacrifice technique and even transform it. The giant demon king could not completely control the demons, but Zuo Liuying did it.
It turned out that the problem was not the sword washing pool, but Qi Wushang himself. His mind was entangled with a large number of demons, so he became Zuo Liuying's puppet, so that the light emitted by the sword washing pool had no killing power.
"The sword washing pool and the straw hat are both dead objects. Taoism and magic are also a kind of magic to control objects. They are very different, but there is always a similarity, just like the undercurrent underground, connecting two rivers that seem unrelated on the surface. "Mu Xingqiu was not showing off, nor was he provoking the enemy. He just said whatever he thought of, because these were all the insights he had just gained.
What exactly is the origin of Dao Fire?
Mu Xingqiu had been lingering outside the door, and finally took a crucial step with the help of Zuo Liuying.
"Qi Wushang, the Sword Washing Pool does not belong to you, hand it over. "Mu Xingqiu stretched out his other hand.
Qi Wushang was confused. Although Zuo Liuying's magic to control the demon species surprised him, he did not think he was really affected by the outside world. Hearing Mu Xingqiu's request, he sneered and continued to shrink his fire eyes, observing every corner of his body, looking for signs of being controlled.
Until the Taoists' surprised whispers became too obvious, Qi Wushang broke free from his introspection, and then he was stunned. The sword washing pool in his hand was gone and was slowly floating towards Mu Xingqiu. It had already walked more than half of the distance and was only ten steps away from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Qi Wushang used the Fire Eye Demon Pill to introspect, but his normal right eye was always watching the surroundings. He did not notice when the sword washing pool left him, and did not give any warning. He even stretched out his arm, as if he was willing to give the jade basin away.
"Haha." The bald man laughed and turned over in the air, "It's so fun!"
"Come back!" Qi Wushang was furious and used all his demonic power to try to catch the jade basin. After being strengthened by the demon species many times, his demon pill was already comparable to that of a Taoist priest of the seventh level of Xingluo, and he was considered the best demon in tens of thousands of years. With the power of the sword-washing pool, he could even compete with the Taoist priest of Zhushen.
The jade basin did not come back. The powerful demonic power went around outside and returned to the owner's fire eye, carrying nothing.
Mu Xingqiu held the jade basin and immediately felt the powerful mark on it. One of the functions of the sword-washing pool is to wash away the personal mark on the magic weapon, but his own mark is stronger than most magic weapons. Probably only the Taoist priest of Zhushen or the Taoist priest of Yashan Danjianke can exert more of its power.
Mu Xingqiu weighed it twice and threw the sword-washing pool to Zhou Qianhui behind Zuo Liuying.
Qi Wushang felt only fear. If even the demon species "rebelled", what could he rely on to fight against the Taoist priest? He looked at the group of demon-invading Taoist priests. They were like lambs just now, but now they all raised their heads and stared at him, without any obedience or fear in their eyes.
Escape. This was the first time that this thought came to Qi Wushang's mind. He originally wanted to torture these Taoist priests and attract more Taoist priests to fall into his trap, but now he just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
He hadn't moved yet, but just as he was about to cast a magic spell, his idea was leaked.
"Wait." Mu Xingqiu said to Qi Wushang, and then nodded slightly to Zuo Liuying, indicating that he had received his reminder, "You still have something to hand over, and it doesn't belong to you."
Qi Wushang glanced at the Amber Taoist priest, which was also a treasure, not as good as the Sword Washing Pool, but if used properly, it could play a miraculous role. He knew he couldn't take it away.
"It's not him, it's the demon seed." Mu Xingqiu held up the Frost Soul Sword with both hands, "The demon seed is harmful to you, but my sword needs it."
"Don't even think about it!" Even though the demon seed had been controlled by Zuo Liuying, Qi Wushang was still very angry at the thought of handing it over. All his timidity and hesitation were swept away. He turned around and turned into a gray wolf in the air. He would rather fight to death than let the demon seed leave him.
Mu Xingqiu held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and pressed his left hand on the middle of the sword. He performed neither the mind illusion nor the soul-driving technique, nor the five-element magic that ordinary Taoists were familiar with. He just stood there, and didn't even make a spell in his hand.
Qi Wushang's Fire Eye Demon Pill was more than five feet out of his eye socket. He roared in pain, changing back and forth between human and wolf forms, unable to maintain any form for a long time.
The demon seed was also unwilling to leave the giant demon king. This was its fundamental wish, and even Zuo Liuying could not change it. However, the green light in the Fire Eye Demon Pill became more and more obvious, and then turned into a very thin green line, slowly drifting towards the Frost Soul Sword, looking extremely reluctant.
"Wow, Brother Xiaoqiu is getting more and more powerful." The bald man said to Zhou Qianhui, who had been blocking him, with a face full of admiration: "Do you know this trick?"
Zhou Qianhui shook his head. In fact, he was very surprised. He knew that Mu Xingqiu had two inner pills, one of which reached the fifth level of the Starfall Realm, but it was still a little short of directly absorbing the demon seed. There are many kinds of Taoist magic to eliminate demons. Any kind of magic requires either deep mana or powerful and professional magic tools. Mu Xingqiu's mana is insufficient, and the Frost Soul Sword is not professional at all, but he can still absorb the demon seed. Zhou Qianhui was puzzled.
The bald man was very proud. He didn't care about these. As long as Brother Xiaoqiu became powerful, he would be happy.
Yin Buchen only emerged from behind the Taoists at this time, also with a look of surprise on his face, muttering: "Demon Lord's Law, could it be that this kid has comprehended the Demon Lord's Law? Impossible, how could he be smarter than me?"
The green line stretched extremely long, one end pierced into the Frost Soul Sword, and the other end was still connected to the Fire Eye Demon Pill, but the demon seed was transferred after all, and the lines on the sword gradually regained their luster. After the last bit of green line entered the sword, half of the twenty twig-shaped lines were no longer dim.
The Fire Eye Demon Pill returned to its eye socket, and its original demon seed was left behind.
Qi Wushang regained his human form, hunched over, and trembling all over. He could still turn into a giant wolf, but it was useless. With his current demon power, he couldn't even fight an ordinary Xingluo Taoist.
"My magic of absorbing magic is not mature enough, so I have to let you gather the magic seeds first." Mu Xingqiu put the Frost Soul Sword back into the invisible scabbard on his left wrist, turned his head and looked to the south, "The Taoist sects are here, they will decide your fate, Qi Wushang, this is your end."
A large number of Taoists are approaching, and the people of the eight Taoist sects are among them. Zhou Qianhui is holding the sword washing pool and preparing to meet them. The pressure of the Yashan treasure is too great, and it must be handed over to the Taoist priests as soon as possible.
He still has a bronze mirror that he has not taken back. When Zhou Qianhui summoned the magic weapon, he took a look at the amber and was shocked again. The faint human figure in the middle of the amber was gone. He scanned it again and was sure that Meng Yuanhou had really disappeared.
