THUD! THUD!
Zhou Baiwei hamred two fists against Yi Beidou’s chest, but they were soft and weak, almost like a lover’s playful spat.
Even when she was fully conscious, she could hardly harm Yi Beidou in the slightest with her full strength, let alone in this state.
But what was truly terrifying wasn’t the lethality of her attacks. It was that a Martial Arts Dao expert on the verge of the Realm of Mighty Spirit could be controlled by another like a string puppet.
Wasn’t this just like the tales of old about an Evil Ghost possessing a body or Reincarnation?
This phenonon of one’s body being out of their own control was simply too horrifying.
ng Qianyuan and Yang Mutong looked from Zhou Baiwei to Ding Huiyuan, their entire worldview completely upended.
This man might have seed unreliable, but his Divine Power was simply unfathomable.
This trip to Dragon Tiger Mountain had truly been an eye-opener for them.
An ordinary person would probably go their whole life without such a wondrous encounter.
Only by following Yi Beidou could they have had such a fortuitous opportunity. These experiences would undoubtedly affect them for the rest of their lives.
"If you can make her stop, I’ll count it as your win. How about it?"
Just then, Ding Huiyuan spoke. The mont he did, the True Word Technique ceased, and Zhou Baiwei stood frozen in place as if her strings had been cut.
HUMMM!!
The next mont, Ding Huiyuan once again chanted his true words, and Zhou Baiwei imdiately lurched back into action, raising her little fists to hamr Yi Beidou’s chest.
The scene was like his words were law, miraculous to the extre.
In reality, however, Yi Beidou had already figured out the trick.
On one hand, Ding Huiyuan was using his True Intent to influence Zhou Baiwei’s mind. On the other, the True Word Technique was stimulating changes in Zhou Baiwei’s Life Magnetic Field, causing her body to perform various actions.
It was just like when a doctor taps the knee joint with a hamr, triggering the patellar reflex.
Making Zhou Baiwei stop was actually quite easy; he just had to make her completely incapable of moving.
For example, by shattering her head with a single palm strike.
Of course, Yi Beidou wasn’t going to do that. There were other ways to restrain her.
He jabbed a finger out, pressing a specific acupuncture point on Zhou Baiwei’s neck.
This point was a junction of Qi, blood, and nerves. Hitting it would obstruct the flow of Qi and blood to the brain and paralyze the nerves, causing the person to fall unconscious imdiately.
Sure enough, Zhou Baiwei’s body went limp and she began to collapse.
However, at that very mont.
HUMMM!!
A true word bood from Ding Huiyuan’s mouth. Zhou Baiwei’s body shuddered violently, but she managed to stabilize herself and attack once more.
Yi Beidou realized that Ding Huiyuan had instantly used the True Word Technique to vibrate Zhou Baiwei’s body, shaking open her blocked blood vessels and reactivating her nervous system.
Zhou Baiwei swung her fist again.
Yi Beidou frowned slightly. ’This man’s true words have a healing effect. It seems there’s no simple way to make Zhou Baiwei fall unconscious and stop her.’
He ignored Zhou Baiwei’s descending fist and, after a mont of contemplation, made his move.
His fingers suddenly tapped seven tis at various points on Zhou Baiwei’s chest. His True Intent, acting like needles—Transforming Illusion into Reality—pierced into her body.
The Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle!
He was going to use this Sealing Technique to imprison Zhou Baiwei’s Life Magnetic Field.
Sure enough, Zhou Baiwei’s body froze in place, unable to move.
"This Dharma Gate is not bad!"
Ding Huiyuan’s eyes lit up. He then began to continuously utter the Sound of Truth, vibrating Zhou Baiwei’s body to help her break free from the restraints of the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle.
Zhou Baiwei’s body stood there, trembling ceaselessly as if having an epileptic fit. The sight was quite bizarre.
Seeing this, ng Qianyuan and Yang Mutong, who were standing to the side, couldn’t help but exchange a glance. Without a word, they both stealthily took out their phones and opened the video recording function...
Yi Beidou frowned slightly. He could feel that the influence of the True Intent he had driven into Zhou Baiwei’s body was gradually being eroded and loosened by Ding Huiyuan’s True Word Technique, allowing her to slowly regain her mobility.
’She can even break free from the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle?’
’If that’s the case, then short of slapping Zhou Baiwei to death, there’s probably no other way to stop her.’
Yi Beidou’s expression suddenly shifted, and he placed his palm on Zhou Baiwei’s forehead.
Not long ago, he had "swallowed" Zhu Zi’Er’s lollipop, and the two had used his body as a battlefield to fight for control. Now, he could do the sa, using Zhou Baiwei’s body as a battlefield to contest Ding Huiyuan’s control.
BOOM!!
Evil Qi surged from Yi Beidou’s body as he focused his mind to perceive and experience Zhou Baiwei’s physical condition.
At this mont, in Yi Beidou’s eyes, all coverings on Zhou Baiwei’s body were as if transparent. Not just her clothes, but even her flesh and blood could not block his perception and True Intent.
Yi Beidou began to manipulate the Evil Qi, directing it into her body to influence her Life Magnetic Field, focusing on reinforcing the True Intent of the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle.
Right now, those seven acupuncture points were like seven cities, forming the battlefield for their contest. The two n’s True Intents clashed repeatedly, constantly influencing the Life Magnetic Field within Zhou Baiwei’s body.
Gradually, Yi Beidou gained a deeper understanding of the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle and the Life Magnetic Field.
The reason the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle could seal a Martial Arts Dao expert’s Qi, blood, and Physical Ability with just seven Silver Needles was fundantally because it influenced the body’s Life Magnetic Field, blocking its key nodes.
At the sa ti, he also discovered that Ding Huiyuan seed to be intentionally guiding him, helping him perceive the corresponding mysteries.
About half an hour passed. In the battle for the seven cities, Yi Beidou gained the upper hand. The influence of Ding Huiyuan’s true word Sound Technique began to recede. Using the "seven cities" forged by the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle as his base, Yi Beidou’s True Intent rampaged through Zhou Baiwei’s body, ultimately expelling Ding Huiyuan’s True Intent completely.
THUMP!!
Zhou Baiwei’s body went limp and she collapsed toward the ground.
Quick as a flash, Yi Beidou grabbed the back of her neck, holding her up to keep her from falling into the mud.
A look of understanding dawned in his eyes.
Although he had won the contest for control of Zhou Baiwei’s body, it didn’t an his thods surpassed Ding Huiyuan’s. On the contrary, the gap between them was vast.
From start to finish, Ding Huiyuan had never co within five paces of Zhou Baiwei, nor had he ever touched her. He had relied solely on his Sound Technique and True Intent to influence her from a distance.
Yi Beidou, on the other hand, had not only used the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle but also had to perceive Zhou Baiwei’s condition up close and release his True Intent’s influence, and only then did he barely manage to expel Ding Huiyuan’s technique.
It was called Magical Combat, but in reality, it was more like Ding Huiyuan was helping him comprehend the mysteries of the human body.
"Thank you for your guidance. I owe you a favor for this."
Yi Beidou said, looking at Ding Huiyuan.
"Don’t. Karmic entanglent is no joke. I didn’t expect soone as exceptionally talented as you to actually figure sothing out. I was just going with the flow. Besides, I learned a Demon Sealing Technique, too. We both benefited."
Ding Huiyuan waved his hand dismissively, took a final drag of his cigarette, and casually crushed the still-burning butt.
"Alright, business here is concluded. I’m off. I’ll wander around a bit. Let’s et again on Dragon Tiger Mountain."
Ding Huiyuan grinned, pulled a flask of wine from his pocket, and started humming a little tune as he drank, swaying and stumbling his way out of the woods.
He was very satisfied with this encounter. He had seen a good show and even learned a new Sealing Technique. This called for a big drink!
Yi Beidou watched until Ding Huiyuan’s figure disappeared. He was well aware that this man’s abilities were by no ans limited to what he had shown.
’If this True Words Technique can affect others, can’t it also be used on oneself?’
’By constantly tempering his body with this True Words Technique, his Qi, blood, and physique must be incredibly strong. And using such a thod to alter his own Life Magnetic Field and deploy various Secret Techniques probably wouldn’t be difficult either.’
Among the few young Saint Experts he had encountered, this man was the only one who gave him an unfathomable feeling.
However, the man was unwilling to fight with his fists.
Yi Beidou looked down at the unconscious Zhou Baiwei, whom he was still holding up.
SMACK!!
Yi Beidou slapped her on the forehead. A surge of Evil Qi dispelled the True Intent of the Demon-Suppressing Seven-Star Needle he had placed within her, simultaneously stimulating her mind.
Zhou Baiwei shivered violently and groggily opened her eyes. Finding herself held up by Yi Beidou, her mind went blank. With a bewildered expression, she blurted out the three classic questions of confusion:
"Where am I? What just happened? Why can’t I rember anything?"
