My wife has a secret

Chapter 178 Death
Without exception, anyone who adopts this method will suffer a severe backlash and die a miserable death.

Moreover, because their skills have been forcibly raised, these people will make some low-level mistakes even when fighting against masters.

However, even in the enemy's army, they would not let someone as powerful as Kaiyang Xingjun take drugs. The tributes they chose were often some outstanding cavalry captains.

"As expected of a general, even though you haven't seen my Holy Religion's secret technique with your own eyes, you can observe the changes in me from these little details and judge the effectiveness of the secret technique."

Kaiyang Star Lord had a half-smile on his face. After hearing the news that he would face death, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he showed an expression of relief.

"Yes, I was able to stand out from the strict selection of the Holy Church because of this ability. Everyone knows that Kaiyang Xingjun is immortal, but even within the Holy Church, few people know that my ability comes at a price."

Kaiyang Star Lord waved his eagle claws, casually hooking up a streak of blood.

Seeing the blood spurting out and falling to the ground, burning a black hole in the ground, Kaiyang Xingjun explained calmly: "My blood is different from others. From the beginning, it has a different activity from ordinary people... Sorry, you may not understand these words, but if the destiny person comes here, he will definitely be able to see through the mystery."

Yang Xian stared at Kaiyang Xingjun without answering, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"I was born with a life span of no more than twenty years. The purpose of my existence in this world is to accomplish the great cause of the Holy Church. Therefore, by using the Holy Church's secret techniques, I can stimulate their activity, burn the essence and blood in my body, and force my cultivation to continuously improve within ten days."

Most of the pills Yang Xianning had seen before could only increase combat power for a few hours. When she heard that Kaiyang Star Lord's secret method was so terrifying and the power of the increase was so astonishing, she realized something.

This kind of blood can corrode the ground. It is hard to imagine that the other person's kidney blood and flesh are the same as those of ordinary people.

"Could it be that you know that what you are doing is overdrawing your life?"

"if not?"

Kaiyang Xingjun looked at Yang Xianning with fascination and envy, "If I could really reach your level, perhaps I wouldn't be abandoned by the Saint Girl and used as a tribute to ascend to heaven."

Having said this, Kaiyang Star Lord completely abandoned all other thoughts in his mind.

At the same time, the other Kaiyang Star Lord also recovered to his full strength. The two of them exchanged glances and engraved Yang Xianning's footwork habits in their minds.

Then, the two of them attacked together. They quickly moved out and formed a pincer attack on both sides.

Yang Xianning knew that the short blade would not be effective, so she seized the opportunity to dodge and kicked out, using her slender body to avoid the sharp blade of the claws.

Her whole body's true energy was circulating rapidly. Although she was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the two men, she did not show signs of defeat. Instead, she became more and more courageous and fought back from time to time.

If anyone else were in this situation, they would definitely reveal their flaws. Fortunately, Yang Xianning was used to fighting one against many, and Kaiyang Xingjun's techniques were not very skillful, which led to this situation.

After several moves, Kaiyang Xingjun realized that it was difficult to determine the winner, so he left one person to fight while the other stopped and crawled on the ground.

Gradually, his aura began to resemble the one when the two first met. His skin was changing color at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming red, swollen, and bulging, with veins bulging.

Moreover, his bones began to creak and change position.

Yang Xianning never distracted herself from beginning to end.

When the opponent completed the transformation and pounced towards her from where he was, she was caught off guard and was bitten by the opponent with his mouth on the broken blade on the hilt, knocking her into a rock wall.

"boom!"

After the loud noise, Yang Xianning tried her best to shake off the other person, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

She had no idea why there were so many strange changes in Kaiyang Star Lord's body, but just now he lay on all fours and attacked like an animal.

The opponent's speed and strength had obviously increased by more than three times. Combined with the surging internal energy in his body, he was able to actually leave an afterimage in the air, leaving him no space and time to react.

While Yang Xianning was trying hard to endure the pain and concentrate on dealing with the second attack, she suddenly saw that another Kaiyang Star Lord also lay down and completed his transformation at the moment when she was slow to analyze the situation.

Being one against two, and being injured, it was basically a dead end.

But if he were defeated here, the White Lotus' plan would be advanced further, indirectly affecting the lives of the people in the capital.

Thinking back to the lights of thousands of homes when she first arrived in the capital, and the way her little sister looked at her while shaking a candied haws, she stood up slightly, faced the two of them again, and rushed towards the corner where the two Kaiyang Star Gods were sitting.

……

Capital city, princess's mansion.

Princess Danyang had long black hair that was tied into an exquisite bun at the back of her head, and a bright jade hairpin adorned the bun.

Her eyes are lively and her facial features are delicate, like a beautiful fairy who is indifferent to worldly affairs. Her big watery eyes reveal an innocent light.

When she smiles, her slender eyebrows are slightly raised, showing a hint of playfulness in her cuteness.

"Marquis Guangping and General Yang have already entered the imperial mausoleum. This news came an hour ago... If the spies' news is correct, they should have discovered something near the imperial mausoleum."

Yuheng Xingjun, dressed as a maid, stood quietly on one side, beside Princess Danyang who was lazily lying on the bed, and told her the news from the sect.

"No problem."

Princess Danyang smiled softly, her lips turning red like cherry blossoms in full bloom, "Didn't we let that woman from the Ri tribe sneak the saltpeter out? Xu Lang is a man of destiny, he will definitely not sit still and will go down to the tomb to investigate personally."

Yuheng Xingjun did not dare to look directly into the eyes of Princess Danyang, which were as deep as lake water and seemed to contain thousands of stars. He asked in a low voice: "But Kaiyang's ability is extraordinary. If he activates all his power, I'm afraid no one in the tomb will be able to stop him."

As a member of the same group of people who were selected as Star Lords, Yuheng was very clear about the strength of Kaiyang Star Lord.

When the opponent is transformed into an animal state, he will gradually lose his human nature, and his instincts and fighting habits will become closer to those of wild beasts.

Such a person is not the best candidate for this mission.

"Are you worried that it will affect the sacrificial ceremony and disrupt the path to heaven?"

Princess Danyang laughed, her face was as delicate as a flower, just like the petals of a lotus in early summer, and very charming with its rosy complexion.

Her casual swaying movements are agile yet gentle, complementing her own temperament.

"Don't worry. If what I think is right, it has already burned up the last bit of its blood and energy and is beginning to run out of energy... According to the divine oracle, no one can disturb the path to immortality of our Holy Church."

……

Yang Xianning was simply unable to resist the two's violent attacks, because since Kaiyang Star Lord transformed into this half-human, half-beast form, she could not match their strength, speed, and reaction.

Even if she had a little more experience than the other party, it was useless in the face of absolute strength. After several rounds of fighting, Yang Xianning had a large area of ​​her clothes scratched by Kaiyang Xingjun's nails, leaving countless tattered pieces of cloth, revealing her white and tender skin.

Not only that, she was also injured in three places by the eagle's claws, and a lot of blood had been flowed from the serious injuries.

No! We must find a way to deal with it now!

Yang Xianning bit her tongue lightly, using the pain from the tip of her tongue to keep her mind clear and regain her composure.

Because during the battle just now, she had vaguely realized that her mind and reaction were affected by the blood loss, and she could no longer dodge the opponent's attack.

If I don't break the current deadlock, I will only become more passive.

When her thoughts were settled, Kaiyang Star Lord attacked again. Yang Xianning tilted her head slightly and noticed that behind her was the cave entrance from which she came.

She immediately changed her tactics and used her agility to retreat to the edge of the cave entrance, attracting Kaiyang Star Lord.

Kaiyang Xingjun thought that Yang Xianning was going to escape, so he quickened his pace in a hurry, but the entrance to the tomb was not big. Yang Xianning used the opponent's keen senses to place the broken sword across the center, blocking the opponent's attack.

Then he raised his left hand slightly and grasped the hairpin.

After Kaiyang Star Lord appeared in an instant and her right hand shook violently, Yang Xianning suddenly pulled out her left hand, mixed the hairpin with her internal energy, and inserted it directly into Kaiyang Star Lord's forehead.

Kaiyang Xingjun's attention was completely on Yang Xianning's broken blade and legs, and he never thought that this woman's hairpin could also serve as a sharp weapon.

This position is a vital point in the human body. The needle tip pierced the flesh, causing blood to burst. Kaiyang Star Lord's brain seemed unable to withstand the jumping blood in the body and was about to explode.

Yang Xianning had not thought of this, but fortunately she had prepared to avoid the other party's splattered blood and quickly stepped back.

With a loud bang, the remains of Kaiyang Star Lord fell to the ground.

This time, he couldn't die any more.

The other Kaiyang Star God was still staying in front of the gate square of the tomb passage, staring at Yang Xianning with his cold vertical pupils, which made the latter feel a little shaken.

He wanted to speak out to dissuade the other party again, but he didn't expect that the body of Kaiyang Star Lord suddenly swelled up, broke into pieces again, and splashed a blood rain all over the sky.

In an instant, the scene of the life-and-death battle became silent and still. Apart from the sound of dripping blood, there was no other movement.

Yang Xianning felt relieved and sat down limply on the side of the tomb. She gasped and let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because of the dim light in the tomb passage, the faint light from the lamp formed a circle of gold around her snow-like neck, making her skin look snow-white, delicate and translucent.

At the same time, there was a thin gold chain around her neck that shone with a clear yellow luster. The solid heart-shaped pendant bounced a few times on her plump breasts, causing her white and tender breasts to tremble.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the shape of the pendant was wrapped in soft blood and was tightly stuck in it.

"I don't know what the situation is like inside..."

Yang Xianning is concerned about the people in the capital and is worried that Xu Qing and his group will not be able to complete their goal before going to the tomb and stop the White Lotus Sect from detonating the black gunpowder.

But she was exhausted at the moment. She had just fought with Kaiyang Xingjun with all her strength and had no energy left to get up and walk down to lend a helping hand.

Being able to win when Kaiyang Xingjun had the advantage was actually beyond her expectations.

……

Emperor Heng's Mausoleum and altar.

The two Qiongbie tribes are now like being roasted on a rack, unable to advance or retreat.

Huang Qiong looked at the crowd in chaos around the altar, turned his gaze to the back, and saw Xu Qing, who had previously shouted to stop them, and his mind moved slightly.

It was this person who stopped him and others earlier and pointed out the potential risks of the Fuhuo Alum Method. Although his origins were unclear, his behavior showed that he was not of the same kind as the White Lotus Sect.

Right now, negotiating peace with the White Lotus Sect is tantamount to sending oneself into a tiger's mouth. Why not use your brain on this person?
Having said this, Huang Qiong took the initiative to ask his clansmen to step back and make room for the vicinity of the altar.

He also took the patriarch of the other tribe and retreated to Xu Qing's side.

When the chief of another tribe saw the water rat beside Xu Qing, his expression changed slightly, but Huang Qiong gave him a look, which made him suppress his uneasiness.

"Young friend, you came from outside, and you seem to know the details of the White Lotus Sect very well?"

Xu Qing originally thought that the two Qiongbie tribes would just accept their fate, but now it seems that when faced with the threat of life and death, people will burst out with their instinct for survival and look for all possible ways to stay alive.

He knew that the two Qiongbie tribes wanted to use him to get through their current difficulties, and similarly, he also needed to use them.

"Yes, make it clearer."

As Xu Qing spoke, he raised his eyes slightly and looked towards Tianji Star Lord not far away.

The Tianji Star Lord wearing a fiery red mask had obviously heard all the conversations here, but his expression did not change at all. He still maintained his previous posture and looked at the two Chunsheng envoys on the altar.

The two Chunsheng envoys on the altar seemed to be possessed. After Tianji Star Lord said the words of gathering everyone, they said that the time had not yet come, and then they kept sitting quietly, not caring about what was happening below the stage.

Now seems to be the best time for them to do something.

"The one behind us is one of the Northern Dipper Star Lords of the White Lotus Sect, Tianji Star Lord."

Huang Qiong nodded repeatedly. He had seen Envoy Chunsheng and the Star God beside him when the White Lotus Sect was trading with them.

Although the Kaiyang Star Lord was not like the Tianji Star Lord, he also had a terrifying aura. Just by looking at his appearance and the overflowing sense of oppression, one could tell that the other party was a difficult master to deal with.

This time when acting in the tomb, Huang Qiong paid special attention to the position of Kaiyang Star Lord. After knowing that the other party was willing to guard the tomb door to prevent outsiders from interfering with the sacrificial ceremony, he made up his mind to kill Chunshengshi here.

But who would have thought that after a Kaiyang Star Lord passed by, a Tianji Star Lord would appear.

He had heard that these seven star gods had great powers, but not many people knew how powerful they were.

However, seeing how exaggerated the thunderstorm was just now, even Huang Qiong, who had seen tens of thousands of people digging mountains and digging earth, was frightened and did not dare to attack the White Lotus Sect openly again.
