"Soul-Devouring Technique?"
Hearing Zhen Baiyu’s exclamation, Tie Dan knew things had gone awry.
The na alone suggested a Primordial Spirit Technique, devouring souls and seizing bodies.
In fact, the insidious and vile Left Dao Evil Techniques of the Mystic Sect were quite nurous, with every sect having killing sword techniques like trump cards. These were not easily shown unless necessary, and soone from the outer mountain like Tie Dan wouldn’t know any of them. According to the Mystic Sect’s teachings, such Primordial Spirit Secret Manuals could only be touched after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, when the Primordial Spirit is strong enough.
Who knew Zhen Baiyu had a move. She flipped her hands, made an orchid gesture, pointed and drew on her forehead, then turned to see Tie Dan still looking around and hurriedly reminded him,
"Brother Tie! This Demon Head is devouring human souls! Beware and guard your Divine Court! Do not let him seize the opportunity to possess you!"
Tie Dan, "...No!"
Zhen Baiyu didn’t expect the venerable mber of the Divine Sect couldn’t even perform this basic skill. In her urgency, she dashed over, dipped her middle finger in saliva, and quickly drew a talisman on Tie Dan’s forehead.
Tie Dan, with his limbs bound by the iron chains, couldn’t stop her anyway. Unexpectedly, this saliva talisman worked. The dizziness and weakness from before disappeared instantly.
"Boom!"
"Sothing’s happened! Close the door! Close the door! Don’t let the Demon Head escape!"
The dungeon doors then were kicked open, but instead of rushing in, the invaders threw stacks of wine jars at the entrance, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" and set them ablaze!
The sea of fire raged, cutting off their escape!
At the sa ti!
The old man suddenly broke free from the chains, curved and vaulted like a spring, leaping towards Tie Dan with an open mouth!
"Dodge!"
By this ti, Tie Dan had no ti to care about Zhen Baiyu. He roared, raised the iron chain with his hand, and blocked the old man, looping it to bind his gaping mouth.
This old man, locked for so many years, deaf and blind, turned into a shapeless mass, probably propped up by a breath alone, and possibly long maddened!
Attacking indiscriminately now, but Tie Dan had been on guard against him all along!
He exerted his powerful energy, turbocharged his inner strength, and with a burst, red smoke and blood mist spewed from his pores! Astoundingly, he blocked this flesh missile’s ramming on impact!
Taking advantage of the opponent’s lack of limbs, he stepped, yanked, and pressed the Divine Gang Formless Dual Swords at the old man’s throat, pinning him to the ground!
"You keep misbehaving!"
Tie Dan roared,
"Either we survive together, and I take you out,
or I send you off to reincarnate now!"
The old man surprisingly stopped struggling, whether he understood or was rely intimidated by the sword at his throat, waiting for an opportunity.
Tie Dan had no choice but to gamble, tightly wrapping the ’Human Silkworm’ with the steel chain, turning it into an ’Iron Cocoon’.
The whole process was like lightning; Zhen Baiyu couldn’t even see it clearly, only noticing a flash of blood shadow and Tie Dan had restrained the person!
The entire incident beca incredibly perilous!
If Tie Dan hadn’t had the turbocharged monster power boost, he would’ve been ramd into jelly by the old man!
The old monster kept inhaling audibly, "Hoo—! Hoo—!" swallowing the nearby souls, but Tie Dan remained unhard!
One had to admit Zhen Baiyu’s talisman on his face indeed worked, completely pacifying his yin soul.
Unexpectedly, a re Foundation Establishnt Stage Primordial Spirit thod from the Divine Sect could counter that Old Xuan Sect’s trump card! The Divine Sect indeed had its rits!
But, now’s not the ti to delve into this!
"Boom!"
A fiery dragon, conjured by the Red Evil Secret Technique, crawled out from the dungeon entrance! With a breath, it ignited half the room’s occupants, scorching their skin and flesh into charred heaps! Crackling explosively! With a stench that reached the skies and dense smoke billowing heavily!
The guards above were also casting spells, intent on destroying all traces!
"Cough, cough, Brother Tie!"
On the brink of despair, Zhen Baiyu hurriedly clung to Tie Dan, who, with his blood-stained back, seed so reliable at this dire mont.
"Co closer! Hold tight!"
Seeing Tie Dan bind the Iron Cocoon behind him, Zhen Baiyu quickly moved forward to embrace Tie Dan face to face, clinging on like torso armor, allowing him to wrap the chain around her waist, binding them tightly together.
"Hiss—Hoo—"
Now, with both burdens strapped on and hands freed, Tie Dan activated his turbo energy and sprinted with all his might, charging straight at the head-tossing, fire-spewing Fla Dragon!
"Roar—!"
Amidst the dungeon’s raging flas, the Fla Dragon belched a stream of extre heat! Scorching red lines! Blazing directly at Tie Dan!
"Red Evil Sword Qi!!"
Caught it!
Indeed!
He took it head-on!
Tie Dan raised his hands, palms opening like blooming lotus, facing the oncoming fiery torrent!
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
The Red Evil fla, with torrents surging, incomparably hot! Like molten iron straight from the furnace! Yet Tie Dan’s bare palms blocked it! Splintering into scattered golden sparks! Scattering like a myriad of golden stars!
Zhen Baiyu looked up dazedly at the man re inches away, captivated by the dazzling golden fire, illuminating the night, the rolling heat wave, the escaping red glow, lifting the stray locks on his forehead, brushing the man’s cheek, revealing a face bathed in a torrent of blood, still exuding steadfast determination.
The glittering divine talisman on his forehead shone bright, like a guiding light for the lost traveler, his eyes sparkling like stars, radiant like the moon, glowing with a jade-like luster.
For a mont, sound seed to vanish, the world seed to disappear, leaving only the embraced pair in existence.
Zhen Baiyu’s mind went blank, her heart equally void, thinking of nothing but wanting to watch him like this...forever, forever...
"Oh dear, it’s hot, hot, hot!"
While the woman in his embrace gazed in infatuation and the old man behind struggled like a silkworm, Tie Dan’s hands were nearly burning to the core...
Yet it wasn’t so bad; despite the heat, the Fla Dragon’s Dao Fire hadn’t turned Tie Dan to ash nor charred him. Instead, he caught and refined it, even shot it back!
Yes, since it was handed to him, Tie Dan casually learned the "Red Evil Qi Refining Swordsmanship." He had mastered it!
But due to his unique constitution, with a singular root bone, cultivating Red Evil Sword Qi was less efficient, so he simply ’knew’ it, not practicing much; primarily he still used Divine Gang Sword.
But knowing it is knowing it. Though extraction conversion efficiency was lower, that was compared to Divine Gang Sword Qi. Furthermore, the Mystic Sect was adept at Qi Manipulation, and Tie Dan, a man capable of mastering the Killing Sword technique, couldn’t find basic Red Evil Sword Qi challenging!
In theory, he could forcibly snatch the surrounding Red Evil Dao Qi from the Demon Palace’s mage control!
Even the Red Evil Dao Light spewed by the Fla Dragon! It was Daoist energy! Naturally, he could catch it with his hands! Refining it upon catching and converting it to Beichen Red Evil Sword! Reflecting it right back!
Shoot intensely!
Counter wave!
Ignite explosively!
"Roar!"
"Hot, hot, hot!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Waaa!!!"
Sword Qi soared to the sky! Cleaving through the fire waves! Piercing the Fla Dragon head-on! Blazing explosion!
The heat wave swept in! Fire gust spread! The dungeon’s wine cellar, rebounded by the firelight! Blasting skyward!
The piled barrels of wine and oil at the entrance, simultaneously with this fiery surge, exploded in sacrifice!
"Booming!"
Sky-reaching fireballs soared skyward! Illuminating the Ye Capital! Blasting the entire Imperial Music Bureau sky-high! Severed limbs, shattered walls, fragnted stones, scattered everywhere!
The crowded iron guards in the corridors, the writhing white flesh on the beds, all roasted and burned in this sea of fire! Blown to ashes!
"Hoo——"
Not only unscathed, but significantly replenished by the Red Evil Dao Qi, Tie Dan, wielding dual Red Evil Qi Swords, stepped through the fire sea! Burst out of the secret passage!
The flaming swords in his hands rolled like crashing waves, fluttered like dancing butterflies, drawing a perfect circle in the air, slashing with chaotic swords! None spared from the ground of roasted, dizzy, moaning Demon Palace Guards! All brutally exterminated!
"How are you! Hey! Hey! Zhen Baiyu!"
Tie Dan frowned, seeing Zhen Baiyu in his arms staring blankly at him, lost and foolish, like an idiot. Not knowing if she had a concussion or if the Soul-Devouring Technique damaged her Divine Sense.
But it makes no sense; didn’t she draw the talisman herself? Or maybe she practiced on others, but it backfired on herself?
Tie Dan hurriedly checked her pulse; fortunately, he could distinctly feel her heart pounding wildly through the thin veil separating her soft, warm body.
Ah, she was too excited, forgot to breathe, and had hypoxia. Even this little scene scared her to this extent—truly a burden.
So, Tie Dan ignored her, taking advantage of the Forbidden Army Guards still blocked at the entrance by fire and collapsing debris, to locate the secret passage he’d rembered earlier, dismantle the door.
Then swiftly arriving at the underground river’s secret passage, using energy to step on water, Tie Dan took the demolished door from the dungeon, one on each side, shielding like a shielder eaves, guarding against Divine Sense probing, managing clandestinely to escape alive!
