Chapter 208: True Demon Sealing Physique Art
Old Ancestor Zhang groaned in anguish.
At the same time, Wei Suo spat out a mist of blood after being struck flying. Evidently, his injury wasn’t light as well.
Nevertheless, Wei Suo didn’t pause as he unyieldingly manipulated those ruby artifact shields to cover his body. While Old Ancestor Zhang wasn’t using his black mirror, Wei Suo quickly summoned back his Divine Six-Suns Firefork at the tiny black dagger.
The furious and shocked Old Ancestor Zhang wanted to pursue him, however, his body continued trembling as he observed Wei Suo speeding away. His countenance turned incomparably unpleasant as he hastily fished out a pellet medicine to consume.
“This brat clearly isn’t Old Devil Qin, who exactly is he?! How many tricks does he have up his sleeves!”
Following that, Old Ancestor Zhang landed and rested in a meditation pose.
At present, Wei Suo still hadn’t left his line of sight. Observing the soon disappearance of Wei Suo, Old Ancestor Zhang really wanted to vomit blood.
He was a Thought Division Stage level 2 cultivator who consumed a Heaven’s Path Pellet, and had a true energy might of a Thought Division Stage level 4 cultivator. As for his opponent, he was a measly Heavenly Circuit Stage level 4 cultivator.
This battle was akin to a cat toying around with a mouse. Never would he expect, the outcome would be himself losing an arm and even sustaining injuries to his heart meridians by that blood pearl!
The might of that blood pearl was actually above the power of an upper-grade Spirit Cla.s.s artifact. If not for him sacrificing his arm, he would’ve been killed by it.
Divine Six-Suns Firefork!
Rushing Thunder Mallet!
That weird tiny black dagger.
Clearly, he was also wearing a true Spirit Cla.s.s artifact robe. Otherwise, it was impossible to escape unscathed after being struck by his final True Essence Arrow skill technique.
The amount of dreadful artifacts on that Heavenly Circuit Stage level 4 cultivator was simply out of the ordinary!
There was still that mysterious silver short staff. Thinking of that silver short staff puncturing holes in his cyan scissor-like artifact, Old Ancestor Zhang wanted to vomit blood again.
His Springwind Scissors was a true mid-grade Spirit Cla.s.s artifact, but now, it was damaged to the state of inferiority to even a low-grade Spirit Cla.s.s artifact.
The losses of this one battle was exceedingly immense.
As Old Ancestor Zhang turned to return, he was filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he would’ve just accepted the bribe and release that cultivator.
……
“Wei Suo, how are you?!”
At present, Wei Suo wasn’t having a good time either. Right at the instance Old Ancestor Zhang’s True Essence Arrow struck, Wei Suo managed to grab the Ghost Raising Jar from his bosom and activate the Dark-yin Artifact Robe. Although the Ghost Raising Jar was perfectly fine, his chest still revealed a minor depression.
As the fl.u.s.tered green gowned old man called out, Wei Suo, who was flying with all his might, couldn’t hold on anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood. The firecloud beneath his feet diminished as he tumbled down from mid-air; his b.u.t.t landing on a cl.u.s.ter of muddy shrubs.
“Old Man, this is bad.”
Wei Suo wiped the blood trail at his lips and forcefully uttered. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly fished out several few Treasure Receiving Pockets. Then, he produced everything and poured them out before him.
He acquired these few Treasure Receiving Pockets from the cultivators of Jin Villa.
Even though Wei Suo appeared physically intact, every move he made resulted in searing agony within his chest as though it was breaking apart. Waves of thick fishy blood rose up his throat. Without inspecting, Wei Suo could confirm he couldn’t find two ribs not fractured. Yet most importantly, despite his serious injuries, he didn’t hold any special healing pellet medicine on hand.
Right now, he only wished the Jin Villa cultivators’ possessions contained a special type of healing pellet medicine.
After consecutively flipping over a few pellet bottles, Wei Suo hurriedly swallowed down three maroon colored pellet medicine from one of the bottles, and continued flipping through the rest.
A brief while later, having inspected all pellet bottles, a bitter smile floated up Wei Suo’s face.
One couldn’t tell if his situation was fortunate or unlucky. He managed to find three ‘Return of Spring’ pellets that could prevent his internal wounds from worsening. As long as the wounds didn’t worsen, his life wouldn’t be in trouble.
Still, those Return of Spring Pellets could only preserve his life. Without other spirit medicines, a swift recovery was unlikely and required at least 10-20 days.
Within these 10-20 days, Wei Suo mustn’t employ his true energy vigorously, otherwise, his wounds may worsen once again.
If it was another safe location, a slow recovery would be fine without any spirit medicines. But now, Wei Suo was inside the wilderness!
Most crucially, powerful cultivators from Perching Phoenix City may catch up to him.
Old Ancestor Zhang’s might truly frightened Wei Suo to the core. Furthermore, it seemed as though Old Ancestor Zhang’s injury wasn’t as severe. If he caught up, just a single Old Ancestor Zhang would be exceedingly arduous to deal with.
Seeing no other alternatives, Wei Suo smiled wryly and retrieved the Beast Slavings Pouch and released the Mind Devouring Bug. Following that, he kept the few Treasure Receiving Pockets and prepared to try his luck and meditate here.
“Eh?”
While racking his mind for methods, Wei Suo’s hand chanced upon an object that clearly stumped him a little. He gazed down onto the object he was holding.
He was holding onto a square shaped cyan jade talisman with a tinge of red.
In his panic just now, Wei Suo mixed all the Jin Clan items together and thus, couldn’t tell who this talisman came from now. Still, Wei Suo suddenly recalled this talisman was acquired from Jin Shenxuan, the Jin Clan’s Fifth Uncle.
Previously, Jin Shenxuan held two jade talismans. Apart from this reddish-cyan jade talisman, the other one was the Entrance Jade Talisman to enter the Jin Ancestral Hall.
Wei Suo noticed that this jade talisman offered an extremely unique l.u.s.ter. It seemed to exhibit a malevolent looking 8-armed demon engraving on the back. The talisman appeared exceedingly archaic and didn’t seem like it belonged to this world.
“Old Man, can you tell what this is?”
“I don’t know.” The green gowned old man floated out from the Ghost Raising Jar and furrowed his brows. “However, it doesn’t seem like a defensive or offensive type artifact.”
Seeing that the old man had no clue either, Wei Suo inserted his divine sense to probe.
After probing, he gasped in shock.
He saw an colossal 8-armed demon that was wrapped in cyan flames, and brandishing its arms as it roared; as though desiring to devour all of Wei Suo’s divine sense.
Yet before the horrified Wei Suo could retract his divine sense, the frighteningly abnormal 8-armed demon didn’t pursue him but seemed to be pulling a false bravado.
Wei Suo’s divine sense cautiously approached the demon.
Indeed so, the 8-armed demon was merely a fraud and didn’t possess a true ability to devour one’s divine sense.
Still, to Wei Suo’s immediate shock, the 8-armed demon’s body was covered in lines of scriptures.
“True Demon Sealing Physique…….Demonic Truth Stare…..”
Soon after, Wei Suo exhibited a puzzling look. This 8-armed demon that impressed a tremendously dreadful sensation on Wei Suo, actually recorded two skill techniques.
“Old Man, have you heard of the True Demon Sealing Physique Art or Demonic Truth Stare before?”
Moments later, the green gowned Old Man replied after Wei Suo retracted his divine sense.
“No.” The old man bluntly shook his head and inquired, “It only records two skill techniques inside?”
Wei Suo nodded and remained silent. He began quietly comprehending the two skill techniques.
Noticing his glistening eyes, the old man became aware of Wei Suo’s intentions and silently awaited.
After roughly an incense worth of time, Wei Suo offered a bleak smile
Wei Suo finally understood. Given the fatal wounds Jin Xin’er received previously, another cultivator would’ve perished immediately, but instead, she managed to feign her death and slew Jin Qiao’er. Moreover, Granny Jin had clearly and undisputedly died, yet she could keep a final breath and maintain her divine sense to negotiate with Wei Suo.
It was all due to the True Demon Sealing Physique Art recorded in this jade talisman!
The True Demon Sealing Physique was supremely unique. It allowed a cultivator to temporarily seal his wounds prior to receiving a mortal injury. Furthermore, once the cultivator sustains a mortal wound, the cultivator would remain temporarily alive to unleash one last special still technique.
It was no wonder back inside that 9-storey building, Jin Shenxuan could still flee so quickly, even after the Blood Feasting Artifact Dagger had drilled a hole through his chest.
Regardless of Granny Jin, Jin Xin’er or the Jin’s Fifth Uncle, they all practiced this specific skill technique.
As for that so called Nightmare Art that Jin Qiao’er proclaimed, it was evidently the other skill technique of this jade talisman – Demonic Truth Stare.
The Demonic Truth Stare was a sinister skill technique that allowed one to cast on sleeping cultivators, or deeply meditating cultivators. It could create myriads of hallucinations in the other party’s mind.
With this skull technique, Wei Suo had gained another skill to plot treacherously in the dark. Currently, he didn’t have much use for Demonic Truth Stare, but the True Demon Sealing Physique would suffice to solve this present crisis.
