The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Chapter 168 Collecting Human Essence and Blood
Being in the illusion, the feelings of Lu Yao and Meng Xinghun were not experienced by the beggars outside the door.

The five warriors were pregnant with strange poisons, and using the poison one after another was tantamount to committing suicide, as it consumed the vitality in their bodies.

But before those five people died, two people were destined to be severely traumatized.

The gate was right in front of them, and they could see the beggars running away in panic, but it was difficult to get out.

"These five lunatics deserve to die." Meng Xinghun's whole body was red, and more than thirty "snowflakes" on his burly body shook, turning from white to red.

Only when the "snowflakes" fell on him did people see clearly that they were not snow at all, but the whiskers of some kind of strange poison.

The snow-white beard turned blood red in an instant, as it was sucking his blood.

By the time he grabbed these insect tentacles off, half of them had already flown away on their own and landed on the lunatic who was casting the poison.

Lu Yao covered her body with silk cotton, and even her face was covered with silk threads to block the insect beards. However, due to the black threads, the death air entered her body, and some of her back flesh was eroded.

"They won't be able to last long if they use two kinds of Gu techniques with their lives." Meng Xinghun guided the medicine slave to stop five emaciated figures.

The five people were dragging several overlapping figures around them, all like several people stacked on top of each other, and it was difficult to distinguish their true bodies with the naked eye.

There was obviously more than one kind of strange Gu called "Mirror Shadow" in their bodies. While each of them was using the "Mirror Shadow" Gu, they also used other Gu.

It is impossible for Master Shui Jing to have only one kind of strange Gu. In addition to "Mirror Shadow", other strange Gu also seem to be very simple.

"There is something strange in Jinghu Lake. As a martial artist, it is impossible to be stupid enough to plant different kinds of poisons into your body, and there are two kinds of them!" Lu Yao said as she controlled the poisonous insects in her body to remove the skin and flesh corroded by the death energy.

"If someone hadn't forcibly planted it on them, then they were already unconscious before planting the poison, and then they were entered into their bodies by the half-dead alien poison in Jing Lake."

Meng Xinghun looked at them for a while and found that these five lunatics were extremely difficult to deal with.

The "mirror shadow" makes it difficult to tell the truth from the false. Another kind of poison that unfolds illusions also affects his guidance of the medicine slave.

During the time between the two sides fighting, black lines filled the ground, and snowflakes danced in the air.

Both of them looked ugly and wanted to hide. They rushed dozens of steps but stood still, and could only watch helplessly as they were attacked.

"Wasting some of the medicinal power accumulated in the medicine slave's body, we must also deal with them as soon as possible."

After Meng Xinghun's words fell, the medicine slave in the house emitted a faint scent of medicine from the inside out, and the body was suddenly filled with incomparable true energy.

The predecessor of this third-level medicine slave was a middle-level martial artist in the third realm, with four of the eight gates in his body opened.

"Boom, boom..."

The true energy was swirling like a strong wind, and regardless of the illusion of the surrounding scene, the five emaciated figures were all blown away.

As the Yao Slave's palms danced wildly, dozens of invisible hands seemed to grab it. With a "click" sound, the entire house collapsed in mid-air due to the illusion.

The five emaciated figures were crushed into pieces by the strong zhenqi before the vitality in their bodies was exhausted.

As soon as the person who cast the Gu technique died, the place returned to normal in an instant. What appeared in front of them was a dilapidated courtyard that had been bombarded into ruins.

"Unfortunately, fortunately, there are no third-grade exotic Gu in it." Meng Xinghun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed to himself.

There were a few more black spots on Lu Yao's body, and she said solemnly: "Jinghu Lake is not a good place. It's best not to break into Jinghu Lake if we can. We can check if others have any strange poisons in the city these days." Egg takes action."

Meng Xinghun said with some reluctance: "It is probably difficult to get the eggs of strange Gu in the city, and you have to take risks. Furthermore, besides the 'Mirror Shadow', I am also interested in Master Shui Jing's other strange Gu. Some interest."

Seeing that Meng Xinghun was determined to break into Jing Lake, Lu Yao had a sullen face and could not say more. After all, the third-grade medicine slave was not controlled by her, and Meng Xinghun was still the main one during this trip.

……

On this day, fake real people appeared in many places, and they were all people who had been to Jinghu Lake.

In addition to Ningyang County, in other counties of Wuyin Prefecture, there are also mentally disturbed "Shuijing Zhenren" causing trouble.

The rumors that caused the commotion in Jinghu became more and more out of control. Some people claimed that thousands of Presidential soldiers had appeared in various counties of the prefecture, and that supervisory envoys from other states had taken action.

However, when the news spread, the Gu masters gathered from all over the place not only did not leave, but many people rushed to Yao Ze and went straight to Jing Lake.

As night fell in Ningyang County, strange sounds continued under the night.

Feihe Tower, in a room on the second floor.

It was late at night, and Zhou Wan was lying on the bed sleeping. Unknowingly, her little face turned as white as paper.

Rather than "lying down", it would be more appropriate to say that she was "paralyzed". The more she slept, the weaker her breath became. Her limbs were spread out in a large shape, and her whole body seemed to be paralyzed on the quilt.

With a "bang", the door was knocked open.

A middle-aged man broke into the guest room. It was Zhou Wan's colleague, Xu Siye.

"Zhou Sichen, if you don't wake up soon, your life will be at risk if you sleep any longer." Xu Siye rushed to the bed and put a pot of medicine in front of Zhou Wan's nose.

Five more people arrived at the door one after another, three warriors and two Taoist priests, all from their party.

On the couch, Zhou Wan's eyelids moved, and she smelled a strange, choking smell.

When she struggled to open her eyes, she saw six colleagues standing in front of her bed, looking nervous.

She slapped the medicine pot on the tip of her nose with one hand, suddenly turned over and sat up, and took a closer look at the six people. She was shocked to find that all six faces looked like dead people, and three of them had many black spots like corpse spots on their bodies.

"You, you guys are..."

"Quickly force the insect beards out of the body. Someone is plotting against the cultivators. We are all in the trap." Xu Siye warned urgently and thrust a mirror into Zhou Wan's hand.

Zhou Wan subconsciously took the mirror and took a look. Her face on the mirror was extremely pale, and there were two black spots on the left side of her face.

She was startled, and immediately activated her poisonous energy, mobilizing all the Gu to search for foreign objects in her body.

Soon, the snowflake-like insect tentacles were squeezed out of the body. When they broke away, they were all bloody, obviously they were full.

Seeing that the insect needed to float away, she opened her mouth and sprayed out more than ten empty flowers, but it turned out to be useless.

"You bastard, give me back my blood and essence."

Seeing that the insects were about to fly out of the window, Zhou Wan raised her hand and threw out a large number of Gu insects, thousands of them densely packed, hoping to win with quantity.

"Buzzing..." There was a loud buzzing of insects in the guest room.

However, despite being surrounded by thousands of Gu insects, they could only snatch away less than [-]% of the essence and blood. The rest of the blood-stained insect whiskers floated out of the window and disappeared.

Seeing this, Xu Siye asked with an ugly face: "Zhou Sichen, you are a second-generation Gu Master, and you still can't deal with those insect beards. Could it be that..."

Zhou Wan said with a pale face: "It's the insect whiskers derived from the third-grade exotic Gu. It should be some kind of Gu technique that collects human essence and blood."

After saying this, she looked at the six people in front of her and found that two were missing.

"Where are Brother Su and Qiu Ying?"

The expressions of the six of them all turned gloomy. Xu Siye shook his head and replied: "When I rushed over, they had been drained of their essence and blood and lost their lives."

Zhou Wan's face became paler when she heard this, and she no longer had any intention of getting rid of the strange Gu eggs.

If Lao Xu hadn't woken her up in time, she would have been sucked dry when more of these insects came.

"According to the rumors in the daytime, those fakes are out of their minds. They are feeding Gu with the vitality in their bodies and they will die sooner or later. They also collect other people's blood before they die... Maybe there is someone behind it." Zhou Wan said what he said speculation. "That's beyond our control. Don't wait for tomorrow. Let's leave tonight and leave Wu Yin Mansion as soon as possible."

When Xu Siye spoke, no one among the five people around him had any objections, and Zhou Wan also nodded honestly.

After making up their mind, the group of seven people quickly packed their luggage.

When they walked out of Feihe Tower, on the street outside, a soldier in armor flashed past in the distance, as if he was chasing others.

Not far ahead, looking at other directions, another policeman and gang members joined forces to attack the old man with white beard and white eyebrows with a knife. Isn't it the rumored fake Shui Jingzhen?

There is a family of officials and bandits in Guzhou. If something goes wrong in the city, both the government and the gang will suffer losses, so this is considered to be a joint effort to manage their own territory.

"Look over there, you guys? I'm afraid something is going to happen!" Taoist priest surnamed Qian suddenly pointed to a certain restaurant.

The other six people looked sideways, and saw that the restaurant was tilted in the night, and turned upside down in front of the door of the restaurant above, where two black bodies were lying.

Looking around a few more times, there are more than one place where illusions appear.

Among them, the location of the county government office is the most eye-catching. There is actually an extra full moon in the sky above the government office.

Compared with the crescent moon in the night sky, the full moon makes life feel unfavorable and extremely scary.

"Ningyang County is a county, and there are no three realms in charge. Big figures from Guzhou can't come here. It's hard to guarantee that Ningyang County can survive this disaster."

"There was something wrong with the token on my body just now. Maybe someone else from the department has arrived. Maybe a big shot really came here in person."

"When Jinghu was born this time, I didn't expect that someone who had been dead for more than 100 years could cause such a big trouble."

A group of seven people exchanged words in low voices. They had no intention of contributing to the local government and fled directly outside the city. They just wanted to escape from the Wuyin Mansion as soon as possible.

They already knew that there was a third-grade strange Gu causing trouble in the city, and if they intervened rashly, they would probably be buried in it.

……

The land is covered with water.

On a wild road sandwiched between rivers, a horse-drawn carriage came galloping through the night.

The driver was a young monk, looking ahead to Ningyang County, but he found that it seemed to be quite lively outside the city tonight.

Blessing my eyes with the power of Buddha, I looked far into the surrounding fields. There were quite a lot of people running around on other wild roads.

"Master, we are almost arriving in Ningyang County, but something is not right."

"It doesn't matter, let's rush to the city first, and then we can inquire about the news in the city tomorrow."

In the carriage, Liu Feng was covered with poisonous insects. After giving a faint reply, he continued to nourish the poisonous insects with insect medicine.

Except for Huiyuan who was driving, the only people left beside him now were Liu Luo and the half-demon Qiao Bei.

Encountered by poisonous dragons from all over the world, the eight of them were killed. Qing Fei and Mu Feiyang died, while Kong Hui and Qing Ying were missing. Their fate was uncertain.

Perhaps because they were too far apart, Liu Feng couldn't even sense the Buddha bone puppet in Qingying's body.

"Why are you blocking the road? Why don't you get out of the way... How dare you..." At this moment, Huiyuan's angry voice suddenly sounded outside the car curtain.

Immediately afterwards, the strong wind whistled and the sound was heard. It was Huiyuan who was using his seal technique to fight with others.

Liu Luo opened the car curtain, and the scene outside came into view. Fighting with Hui Yuan was an old man with white beard and white eyebrows.

This old guy just showed up and attacked them for some reason!

"Boom, boom boom..." Yinfa pushed through, passed through the figure, and blasted into the river beside the road, causing waves of water.

Hit by the seal, the six body shapes of the old man twisted and dissipated, none of them being the original body.

Huiyuan bullied the remaining figure, and when he was in front of him, he received the blessing of six-armed Buddha power and struck out more than ten palms in the blink of an eye.

The man's figure was twisted, as if dragging several overlapping shadows. After more than ten palms were struck, only two palms hit him.

"Pfft." The old man opened his mouth and sprayed, and large snowflakes spread out.

Huiyuan's whole body was filled with Buddha fire, and he opened a curtain of fire with both hands, burning most of the snowflakes, but a few snowflakes still took advantage of the opportunity and fell on him.

Before one person could be solved, two identical old men arrived on another road across the river.

The strange thing is that the two people who just arrived are the same, and they are the same as the old man in front of Huiyuan. The three figures all have white beards and white eyebrows.

The two men were chasing the martial artist in front of them. They were attracted by the movement here. Their footsteps suddenly stopped, their bodies jumped, and they all fell to this side.

"waste."

Qiao Bei snorted coldly and disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a mirage like light smoke in the carriage.

When her figure reappeared, she was already standing behind Huiyuan, stabbing the old man opposite with a bone spear weapon, and covering the two people jumping from the opposite side with a mirage.

"Pfft..."

"Crack, click..."

A shot penetrated the person who was fighting with Huiyuan. The two people jumping across from him were shrouded in mirage, and their bodies were instantly frozen.

The next moment, the two people who were frozen burst into flames and were burned alive by the real fire of the second realm.

At present, Qiao Bei's strength is more than that of Hui Yuan, and she has entered the realm of two rites.

Over the past month, Qiao Bei has grown about an inch taller, and her childish face seems to have grown a lot, becoming that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

With Liu Feng replenishing her blood lotus seeds and refining four elixirs on the way, the half-demon successfully broke into the second realm.

She practiced Taoist skills, but after entering the second realm, her body was even stronger than Huiyuan's.

Coupled with the Zhenqi cultivation of Yishou Taoism and the half-demon bloodline, he is indeed much better than Huiyuan, and he is really qualified to call Huiyuan a waste.

Liu Feng stole Kou Ming's harvest from the treasure land and obtained a lot of elixirs, which he gave to her four. Huiyuan and Liu Luo also refined a lot, but it was Qiao Bei who improved the most in strength.

In addition, Liu Luo only consumed five blood lotus seeds when he broke through the second realm, but Qiao Bei consumed ten blood lotus seeds not to mention the elixir.

In the carriage, Liu Feng stared at Qiao Bei expressionlessly. His compound eyes saw the process of his action, which could be described as clean and neat.

"If I don't use Buddha's Eyesight to compete with her, the outcome will be unpredictable." Liu Feng knew it.

He possesses both Gu magic and Buddhist power, and he has obtained the second stage of Buddha roots inherited from Cangtuo Temple, so he can only be on par with this little thing.

This woman's bloodline is mysterious, and once she grows up, she will definitely be a disaster.

It took some time to accept Qiao Bei, and he knew that Qiao Bei had grown up among spirits since he was a child, and his character was like a spirit's, believing in the strong.

He was stronger than her and planted a poison in her body, so he could barely make her obedient.

Once his strength is at a disadvantage one day, Qiao Bei will definitely find ways to force out the Gu worm, and then eat him with peace of mind. The rules between spirits are so simple.
