Chapter 177 Falling into the Devil’s Way
“You…”
Qi Waner was depressed after her trump card had become useless.
Qin Haodong said to her, “Do you dare to perish together with this cownose?”
“Of course, I’m willing to die with you!” Qi Waner looked at Qin Haodong with burning eyes, which were full of affection that could not be concealed.
Qin Haodong resolutely said, “In this case, we will die together with cownose.”
As the reincarnated Emperor Green Wood, of course, he also had the last trump card, which was to detonate his own spirit, but his spirit was too powerful, once detonated within a hundred meters, no life could survive, the power was comparable to a small nuclear bomb.
The price he had to pay was huge. After detonating the spirit, he would be extinct in form and spirit, and he would have no chance of reincarnating.
When he heard the conversation between the two people, Dao Tong didn’t take it seriously at all and stood there in no hurry to start. At this time, like the cat that caught the rat, he wanted to humiliate Qin Haodong and then kill him, so as to dissolve his inner hatred.
In his opinion, Qin Haodong, who had not reached the level of Covert Power, would not pose a threat to him in any way.
Qin Haodong neglected Dao Tong. He turned to the woman in black and said, “I’m going to entangle this man. Take my daughter away.”
Although the power of self-explosion was huge, once it detonated, n.o.body could survive. He wanted the woman in black to take the little fellow away. And the woman was only injured on her left shoulder, which had little effect on her escape.
He thought the woman in black had come to help. At this time, she would be happy to leave when she saw Dao Tong’s strength. After all, no one would like to die.
Unexpectedly, she shook her head and said, “I’m not leaving.”
Qin Haodong said urgently, “Why not go? Everyone’s going to die if you don’t escape!”
The woman in black said, “My purple light sword is still in the hands of the old man. I promised Grandpa that the sword would stay with me and I won’t ever leave without taking it back.”
“Are you a psycho?” cried Qin Haodong. “Is a sword more important than a person’s life?”
Although the purple sword looked good, it was not a big deal in Qin Haodong’s eyes.
“No, I have to get the sword back.” The woman in Black said stubbornly, “Besides, I can’t leave you alone.”
Dao Tong gave a laugh and said, “In that case, you should take this sword with you first.”
Then he raised his hand, and the purple sword changed into a purple light flas.h.i.+ng towards the woman in black.
The speed of the purple electric sword was too fast for Qin Haodong to stop. When the sword was about to pierce the woman in black’s throat, suddenly a big hand reached out and tightly grasped the tip of the purple light sword.
Qin Haodong was shocked. The man appeared so suddenly that he was almost at the top speed. In addition, Dao Tong had reached the Covert Power’s peak of the ninth level, the man’s cultivation was beyond imagination since he could hold the sword with two fingers.
At this time, everyone’s eyes were focused on the master, a tall Taoist, with tattered robes, messy hair, and a big wine gourd behind his back, which seemed a little crazy.
After catching the purple sword, the taoist grabbed the handle of the sword and handed it back to the woman in black. “Little girl, take care of your sword this time. Don’t lose it anymore.”
Qin Haodong looked at this mad old taoist, and once again a storm surged in his heart. With his powerful spirit, he could easily see through a warrior who was a higher rank than him, such as Dao Tong who had reached the ninth grade of Covert Power, but he could not see anything in this mad old taoist.
There was only one answer. The cultivation of this mad old taoist had broken through the realm of supreme power.
After handing over the sword, the old taoist smiled at Qin Haodong and said, “I’m sorry, young man, I came late and made you suffer.”
Qin Haodong didn’t understand what the old taoist meant. At that time Dao Tong cried, “Dao Xuan, why haven’t you died yet? Are you going to meddle in my business?”
The mad old taoist looked back at Dao Tong and said, “My fellow, how can you still be so obsessed after so many years? Can’t you see that you have fallen into the Devil Way?”
Dao Tong shouted in a hoa.r.s.e and exhausted voice, “I don’t care! Even if I become a demon, I will become the most powerful demon, and then go back and destroy the Qingyi School.”
The mad old taoist sighed and said, “Brother, come back with me and reflect on your sins. You need to clean up the sins you have committed for so many years.”
“Dao Xuan, don’t think I’m afraid of you. Today I’m going to fight fiercely with you.”
Dao Tong spoke with great momentum. When others thought he was going to start, he suddenly changed direction and rushed directly to Qi Waner. It turned out that he wanted to catch Qi Waner and escape.
“Stop!”
Dao Xuan took a step forward gently. Although it was only one step, he reached Qi Waner in a flash and attacked Dao Tong with one hand.
There was no way to hide. Dao Tong could only fight back and confront Dao Xuan’s attack.
With a loud thunder, the airflow swept through the scene, and Dao Xuan remained intact, while Dao Tong flew over a dozen meters like a broken sack.
This scene was just a replica of Qin Haodong’s flying after an attack, but the roles were reversed, Dao Tong being the one flying.
Dao Tong vomited blood as soon as he landed. Dao Xuan’s gentle palm had hurt him badly.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He pointed to Dao Xuan and cried, “Your… Your cultivation has been promoted again!”
Dao Xuan said, “Brother, your cultivation was above mine, but unfortunately the demon in your heart is too strong.”
“Don’t tell me that. When I succeed in cultivating a ghost slave, I will surely destroy the Qingyi School.”
After Dao Tong finished speaking, a cloud of blood spread over his dark body. The scope of the blood fog was getting larger and larger, and it directly illuminated his whole body.
“Blood Shadow! You’ve practiced all these evil martial arts. You really have no sense of regret!”
Then Dao Xuan stepped out and applied his shrunken technique to Dao Tong’s front. He hit him hard and shot him out.
After a scream, the blood mist slowly cleared up, and Dao Tong’s figure disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood.
Qi Waner went up and asked, “Dao Xuan, did he die, or did he run away?”
The mad old taoist said, “He ran away. I didn’t expect that he had entered the evil way so deep that he even practiced the evil trick of blood shadow.”
“Run away?” Qi Waner’s face suddenly changed. She was marked to be a ghost slave for Dao Tong. As long as Dao Tong did not die, he would surely come to her for trouble.
The mad old taoist seemed to read her thoughts. He said, “Rest a.s.sured, as long as this evil trick of blood shadow is performed once, he will suffer a great loss of energy. He can’t recover for three or five years at all. Besides, my attack just now was not in vain. Now, even if Dao Tong reappears, he won’t be a match for you.”
Dao Xuan’s words made them feel a.s.sured. Otherwise, with such a powerful enemy, no one could sleep soundly.
Qin Haodong asked, “Dao Xuan, why do you call him brother? What is the origin of that old evil taoist?”
“It’s a long story. In fact, this is a mistake of mine.” Dao Xuan sighed and said, “At that time, we were both disciples of the Qingyi School. I only started one year earlier than him, so I was his elder brother.
“At that time, only the two of us were of the same age, so we had a very good relations.h.i.+p. His martial arts talent is excellent, though I started a year earlier than him, but he improved a lot faster than I did. When I hadn’t reached the ninth grade of Overt Power, he had already broken through the level of Covert Power. He was a genius in our whole school.
“Just because of this, the demon grew in his heart. He was too eager for quick success. He was possessed by the devil when he rushed into the master’s realm. Instead of entering into the master’s realm, his spirit was badly wounded, so he suddenly reverted the Overt Power level.”
Dao Xuan sighed again, as if he was sorry for Tao Tong, and then went on to say, “In fact, if Dao Tong could calm down to practice again, it would not take too long to reach the supreme power with his qualifications. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant, too eager for quick success, and anxious to upgrade himself in an unstable state of mind. Eventually, he was stuck in a bottleneck and could not break through.
“My talent is average, but I am more down-to-earth and I never become impetuous. More than a decade ago I finally stepped into the realm of supreme power. Because of this, Dao Tong was greatly stimulated and fell into the devil’s way at that time.
“On an occasion, I found that he had secretly practiced the five elements of ghost practice. Although the Qingyi School was not well-known, it was absolutely decent. I dared not hide it when I found it so I reported it to our master. The master was so angry that he asked me to abolish Dao Tong’s cultivation and then expelled him from the school.
“But Dao Tong and I grew up together, and I always regarded him as my brother. How could I have the heart to cripple him? So I made my own choice. Although I drove him out of the Qingyi School’s door, I did not abolish his cultivation. I hoped he could repent thoroughly of his misdeeds.”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “You are wrong. This kind of person has been demonized. How could he easily repent?”
“Yes, I was a fool. I was not as discerning as you. Without the restriction of rules after leaving the school, Dao Tong acted more recklessly and began to find people to plant ghostly fetuses. That girl is one of the victims.
“Later, our master got very angry at the news and asked me to leave the school to catch Dao Tong. I could not return to the school without crippling him.”
Qin Haodong said, “Your master was not thinking clearly. Knowing you couldn’t kill Dao Tong, he even sent you out to catch him. How could this work?”
Dao Xuan said embarra.s.singly, “You’re right. I can’t kill Dao Tong anyway. I’ve caught him twice, but under his bitter pleas, I’ve let him go eventually. I hope he can change thoroughly.”
Qin Haodong said, “However, he is totally incorrigible. Your leniency has no effect at all.”
Dao Xuan said sulkily, “I’ve always wanted to take him back to the school and imprison him, so he could repent of his sins, but I didn’t know where he was hiding and he haven’t shown up for a long time, so I could never find him.
“When I found out he was appearing in the south of the Yangtze River this time, I rushed over in a hurry. It was inconvenient to start in the city, so I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to seize him. I didn’t expect that he would run away just when I bought a pot of wine. It was just then that I found him.”
“Uh… Your pot of wine almost ruined our lives.”
Faced with Dao Xuan, Qin Haodong did not know what to say. He was of such a high cultivation, but so unreliable at the same time.
“It won’t happen in the future!” Dao Xuan said, seeing the little fellow in Qin Haodong’s bosom at a glance, he immediately said with his eyes s.h.i.+ning, “What a brilliant and spiritual child! Is it OK for me to accept her as an apprentice?”
