On the Path to the Great Dao Chapter 236: Catch the toad, squeeze it hard

From Baili Mu's voice, Saintess Xuan heard what demonic nature truly was.

Her master, Elder Miaoyin, had once told her that demonic nature arises from desire. If desires are not restrained and are allowed to grow unchecked, they transform into demonic nature.

Her understanding of demonic nature had been vague. Previously, she thought Chen Shi was demonic nature because Chen Shi's killing was too heavy, having used the Nightmare Wood Talisman to kill thousands of cultivators from the Mountain-Moving Clan and the Hundred Refinents Hall. He was truly heinous.

But now, for the first ti, she clearly sensed what demonic nature was.

Demonic nature truly does start from desire, breeding and growing in the dark, constantly strengthening.

The Book of Rites says, a gentleman is cautious when alone, and does not deceive the dark room.

Because when others cannot see, it is easy for all kinds of evil thoughts to breed. Evil thoughts will continuously demonize, evolving into demonic nature.

Baili Mu was exactly like this.

In the Great South Lake, in a place rarely visited by people, who knows how far it still was from Carriage Capital. An injured woman, bound up, bound in an extrely alluring manner, and surrounded by wriggling tongues. This scene caused the dark places in his heart to begin breeding different emotions.

Here, calling to heaven brings no response, calling to earth brings no relief.

If handled cleanly, no one would know what had happened!

"Young Master's woman, the Young Master can play with her, but I can't…"

Baili Mu's throat felt sowhat dry, he muttered softly, "What am I? A lowly person doing beheading business, not even as good as the lowest of the low. I'm just a lowly grave robber. Soone like a saintess from the Bodhi Monastery, only the Young Master can play with her. What am I?"

He tugged at his clothes, his steps drawing closer to Saintess Xuan.

Saintess Xuan's hair stood on end. Feeling the increasingly intense demonic nature, she secretly cursed her misfortune, struggling hard, trying to break free from Chen Shi's bindings.

But Chen Shi had bound her very securely, and very cleverly, preventing her from exerting any strength.

She desperately urged her Nascent Soul, trying to break through the Heavenly Aperture, but the Heavenly Aperture was blocked by her congealed blood, and the Nascent Soul also found it difficult to approach.

The harder she struggled, the more disheveled her clothes beca, the more skin was exposed. Her snow-white shoulders, waist, under her skirt… glimpses of spring scenery appeared and disappeared, indescribably alluring.

Even in a place like the Tongue-Pulling Hell, it seed doubly tantalizing.

She heard the sound of Baili Mu swallowing saliva, her heart panicked, and she made muffled sounds in her throat.

"Young Master is my lord, what kind of person is Saintess Xuan? My lady."

Baili Mu's voice could barely conceal his excitent. Suddenly, he spoke loudly, "Chen Shi, you're in the shadows, aren't you? You deliberately made Saintess Xuan look like this, didn't you? You want to disturb my mind, give yourself a chance to ambush , right? I won't fall for your trick!"

Saintess Xuan felt slightly relieved, thinking, "He still has reason. I misunderstood him. I thought the desires in his heart had turned into demonic nature. I must have sensed it wrong."

Baili Mu laughed, "But even if I fall for your trick, what can you do? If I kill both you and Saintess Xuan, who would know what I did…"

"Pfft—"

Before his words finished, from his mouth, his tongue was yanked out by an inexplicable force, flying into the air, trailing a spray of blood.

Baili Mu froze.

That tongue fell to the ground and actually beca extraordinarily agile, hopping and skipping away, mixing into the many tongues on the ground!

Seeing this scene, Saintess Xuan felt a sliver of pleasure in her heart.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Baili Mu's mind was in chaos. Without thinking, his Primordial Spirit flew out, reaching out to grab at those tongues!

There were hundreds of tongues on the ground, everywhere, running all over the place. These tongues belonged to people who had fallen into the Tongue-Pulling Hell, pulled out because of lying or false speech. There were simply too many.

He couldn't tell which one was his.

He grabbed one tongue, found it had no blood on it, hurriedly threw it away, and grabbed another.

"My tongue was just pulled out recently, it has blood on it, and it must still be warm!" he thought.

Saintess Xuan lay on the ground, her heart pounding wildly, "This is the opportunity Chen Shi was waiting for! This demon, he must have been waiting for the exact mont Baili Mu's tongue was pulled out! That mont, when Baili Mu's mind is unguarded, is his best chance to strike!"

At that mont, from who knows where, groups and swarms of toads appeared, croaking "gu gua, gu gua," their long tongues flicking out, snatching up those tongues hopping wildly on the ground, pulling them into their mouths.

These toads seed to be catching insects to eat; the tongues running around on the ground were their delicacy.

Baili Mu was both shocked and furious. He grabbed a toad, squeezed it hard. The toad involuntarily opened its mouth, inside was a lively, jumping tongue.

Baili Mu pulled out the tongue, glanced at it, then disappointedly threw both the tongue and the toad away. It wasn't his tongue.

He grabbed another toad, squeezed it hard, and continued checking.

There were simply too many toads on the ground, everywhere, covering an area of about an acre, hopping about.

Baili Mu had nowhere to step, so he had to grab toads one after another.

Saintess Xuan secretly grew anxious in her heart, "Why hasn't he made his move? Chen Shi should have acted by now! At this mont, Baili Mu is already flustered, it's an even better ti to strike!"

Baili Mu grabbed toads everywhere, gradually growing exasperated. Suddenly, his Primordial Spirit flew over, grabbed Saintess Xuan, lifted her up, undid the bindings on her body, and slamd her onto the ground. He said viciously, "Saintess, help find my tongue, and I'll leave your body pure!"

He was at the Divine Descent realm. His Primordial Spirit was already sixteen feet tall. True God's blessing had made his Primordial Spirit stable, refined to be as solid as substance, thus having the possibility of further advancent.

But as soon as he uttered these words, suddenly, with a "pfft" sound, a flexible tongue flew out from his Primordial Spirit's mouth!

The tongue of his Primordial Spirit had also been pulled out!

Baili Mu was shocked and furious to the extre. His Primordial Spirit desperately covered its mouth, sowhat at a loss.

Saintess Xuan felt both hatred and pleasure, thinking, "He's lying! Even if I help him find his tongue, he would still take my purity, violate !"

This place was the Tongue-Pulling Hell, filled with incomprehensible Great Dao rules. Even though the hell was broken, the operation of the Great Dao was not as before, pulling out the tongue of a re Divine Descent realm cultivator was still effortless.

Saintess Xuan pulled the sock out of her mouth, feeling sowhat puzzled again.

Does a Primordial Spirit also have a tongue?

She suddenly realized, the Primordial Spirit fuses with the soul and Nascent Soul, so naturally it would have a tongue.

The Tongue-Pulling Hell, from the beginning, was ant to pull out the tongues of ghosts.

Baili Mu's soul's tongue was also pulled out. He could no longer speak, hurting so much his whole body trembled. Pain from the soul was far beyond what physical pain could compare to, a hundred, a thousand tis more painful than physical pain!

He hurt so much his Primordial Spirit kept shaking, the muscles on his body trembling like a sieve!

"If I were Chen Shi, I would strike now!"

Saintess Xuan's palms were all sweaty. She didn't look at Baili Mu, her heart pounding wildly. A voice kept saying, this is the best ti to strike!

Ti passed minute by minute, mont by mont. The ti at this mont seed to beco extrely slow, so slow that Saintess Xuan felt her own heartbeat had beco slow motion, her heart slowly swelling, then slowly contracting, sending blood to her limbs and bones.

She even heard the sound of her own blood flowing, rushing to her brain, while a whooshing sound ca to her ears.

She was too tense.

She was even more tense than Chen Shi!

Opportunities were fleeting. If Chen Shi couldn't seize this opportunity, then he would never be able to kill Baili Mu!

If Chen Shi chose the wrong mont to strike, he would only be killed by Baili Mu!

"What on earth is Chen Shi doing?" Saintess Xuan grew extrely anxious in her heart.

At that mont, Baili Mu had gradually cald down, no longer as tense as before, making her heart sink into despair.

Chen Shi had already lost the best ambush opportunity!

Baili Mu used his own magic power to suppress all the toads and tongues within an area of sixty to seventy acres. This way, he could calmly and unhurriedly search for which toad's mouth his tongue was in.

Saintess Xuan helped him search, but her heart grew colder and colder.

Chen Shi's setup couldn't be said to be un-clever, but the timing wasn't grasped, missing the perfect opportunity. Now, Chen Shi was probably already fleeing, avoiding Baili Mu.

"When Baili Mu finds his tongue, with the powerful vitality of a Divine Descent realm body, reattaching the tongue would be easy. Once he recovers, I'm afraid he will then…"

Her heart darkened.

At this point, she actually hoped Chen Shi would strike fearlessly, kill Baili Mu!

Suddenly, she saw a toad's mouth corner had so mottled bloodstains. Her heart jumped, and she stepped forward to grab that toad.

Baili Mu also saw that toad, snatched it over, squeezed it hard. The toad involuntarily opened its mouth, revealing a tongue inside. That tongue had bloodstains on it, clearly just pulled out!

"Found it!"

Baili Mu's heart was wild with joy. He reached out, grabbed this tongue, and pulled it out forcefully.

The tongue was still jumping wildly in his hand. Baili Mu opened his mouth, bringing the tongue towards it.

A sudden, bizarre change occurred!

That tongue suddenly transford into a Huagai over a person's height. With a "hum," it opened. One hundred and eight umbrella folds, one thousand two hundred talismans, radiated light. One thousand two hundred gods of China pressed down, the Luo Heaven Sacrificial Rite completely suppressed him!

At the sa ti, a dark light flew out from the umbrella, flashing like lightning as it stabbed into Baili Mu's mouth.

"Grow!"

Chen Shi's voice ca. With a "pfft" sound, the Judge's Dragon-Whisk Brush violently expanded within Baili Mu's throat!

Accompanied by the word "Grow," Baili Mu's throat bones cracked and shattered. His neck was the first to be burst open by the thick Dragon-Whisk Brush. That Judge's Brush went down from his throat, pierced through his heart and lungs, his internal organs, penetrated his intestines, expanding outward at a mad speed!

"Pfft!"

Baili Mu's body split apart. The Judge's Dragon-Whisk Brush expanded to a thickness of ten feet, a length of over three hundred feet. The brush shaft was like a pillar supporting heaven and earth. At the base of the pillar, only Baili Mu's two legs remained intact, stuck to the pillar.

And on the brush tip over three hundred feet high, Baili Mu's head was impaled on the brush point, his eyes wide open, blood flowing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!

"Clang!"

The Tathagata Treasure Seal fell out from the sleeve of Baili Mu's corpse, rolling to Saintess Xuan's feet.

Saintess Xuan stared blankly at this scene, not yet having co back to her senses. At the sa ti, a sword light like water stabbed into Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit!

At the sa mont it stabbed his Primordial Spirit, those thousands of toads suddenly flew up, transforming mid-air into various components of the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace. Among them, the mirror pieces alone numbered over a thousand!

The layout of these components was incredibly clever, precisely forming the general shape of the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace!

Saintess Xuan's scalp went numb, her scalp tightened, looking at this scene in disbelief!

After Chen Shi disassembled the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace, he was now reassembling this incredibly complex magic treasure!

He hadn't truly destroyed this treasure. Instead, relying on powerful mory, he had morized the position of every single component of the treasure!

Moreover, when these components turned into toads, the toad swarm seed chaotic, seed to have no layout, but in reality, they all secretly corresponded to the positions of the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace!

At this mont, Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit was inside the furnace!

Countless mirror pieces lit up, rapidly revolving around Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit. Piece after piece of Mirror of Clarity reflected the sword light of the Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword. What shot out from the mirrors were no longer talisman-weapons, but streams of sword energy like swimming dragons, like dark springs!

Sword energy shot from all directions towards Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit inside the furnace!

This was the true killing move!

It was the killing move Chen Shi had prepared to deal with Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit!

The Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace contracted inward, various components pressed together, interlocked, actually closing up, transforming into a colossal object forty to fifty feet high, fifty to sixty feet wide!

Inside the furnace, sword light surged like tides, ringing with a "ding ling ling" sound!

The power of the Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword was unleashed to a height Chen Shi had never imagined before!

Saintess Xuan almost couldn't help but clap and praise.

Disguising the Huagai as Baili Mu's tongue, seizing the mont when Baili Mu found his own tongue, his heart wild with joy causing his mind to be unguarded, using the Luo Heaven Sacrificial Rite to suppress Baili Mu, using the Judge's Dragon-Whisk Brush to burst his physical body.

But killing Baili Mu's physical body wasn't enough. His Primordial Spirit even possessed combat power surpassing his original body. Chen Shi, before his Primordial Spirit, could be said to be crushed with a flip of the hand, utterly defenseless.

Therefore, Chen Shi decomposed the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace, trapped Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit inside the furnace, borrowed the sharpness and keenness of the Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword, borrowed the mysteries of the Hundred Transformations Furnace to enhance the power of the Swimming Dragon Sword, and with one move, eliminated Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit!

This move was truly marvelous.

She had just thought this when she saw Chen Shi charge forward. The Huagai flew up, brilliant light shone beneath it, gods stood like a forest, rotating as it pressed down towards the mouth of the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace!

At the sa ti, this youth leaped up. The Judge's Dragon-Whisk Brush flew over, in his hands like a large spear. The brush tip shook, drawing dark spear flowers in the air, stabbing towards the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace!

Saintess Xuan's eyes widened, seeing the originally contracting Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace now expanding, cracking open!

The power of Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit had clearly exceeded the bearing capacity of the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace!

Inside the furnace, divine light emanating from within the Primordial Spirit grew denser, more dazzling. Accompanied by a world-shaking loud bang, the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace exploded!

Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit blasted open the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace, killing his way out from countless fragnts!

His Primordial Spirit's head was struck by the sword. The Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword was currently embedded in the back of his head.

His body was covered in wounds, sword injuries everywhere. It could be said there was no intact skin left.

He had no tongue, couldn't scream, but was in so much pain his whole body twisted and trembled.

Even when suppressed by the Luo Heaven Sacrificial Rite falling from the Huagai, he hadn't been in this much pain.

He withstood the pressure of the Luo Heaven Sacrificial Rite, faced the Judge's Dragon-Whisk Brush, and charged towards Chen Shi!

Despite being ambushed by Chen Shi, despite being severely injured by the Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword and the Mysterious chanism Hundred Transformations Furnace, despite being suppressed by the Luo Heaven Sacrificial Rite, despite his physical body dying, despite being covered in wounds, he still possessed the combat power to kill Chen Shi with one strike!

His realm was far higher than Chen Shi's. Even if Chen Shi held the brush of the underworld judge that notes life and death, he couldn't do anything to him!

Chen Shi roared angrily, urging the Judge's Dragon-Whisk Brush, using the brush as a spear to stab forward. Even if it was like a moth flying into the fla, he would still do it without hesitation!

Saintess Xuan's gaze fell on the back of Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit's head. There, Chen Shi's Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword was embedded in the back of his head, its hilt trembling as he charged forward.

As if guided by a ghost, Saintess Xuan squatted down, picked up the Tathagata Treasure Seal at her feet, poured all her qi and blood, infusing it into the treasure seal!

"Whoosh—"

Under the empowernt of her Buddhist Sect cultivation technique, the Tathagata Treasure Seal flew to the back of Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit's head. With imnse force, it struck the sword hilt.

With a "pfft" sound, the tip of the Dark Spring Swimming Dragon Sword pierced out from Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit's forehead!

Chen Shi, using the brush as a spear, stabbed into Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit's body. The brush tip beca incredibly sharp, piercing him through!

The large spear shook violently. Baili Mu's Primordial Spirit split apart, his three souls and seven spirits all scattered together.
