Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 63 Showdown
Gu Yi watched quietly as Tang Hao took his last breath and jumped off the head of the two-headed fire snake.

The horrible poison spread throughout every inch of Tang Hao's flesh and blood, making his surface look dark blue.

"Could it be that the soul bone has also been corroded by the poison?"

Gu Yi muttered, and used his true Qi to move Tang Hao's body in front of him through the air.

With his powerful soul perception enhanced through years of alchemy, he quickly detected the conditions of the remaining five soul bones in Tang Hao's body.

The originally bright white soul bones were now dyed a dark blue, indicating that they contained a lot of toxins.

"The poison of Elder Yun's martial soul is indeed overbearing. It can even corrode energy crystals like soul bones."

Gu Yi shook his head helplessly and casually put Tang Hao's body into the corner of the storage ring.

These five soul bones are effectively useless. Except for a few people who are good at poison, no one dares to absorb them, and they cannot be used to refine pills.

At most, we can make use of the waste and see if we can extract the remaining toxins from Tang Hao's body.

"Things here have been settled. Next, we should go hunt for the fifth spirit ring and then head to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire..."

After witnessing Tang Hao's death with her own eyes, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, no one would covet her anymore, and she would be safe in human society for the time being.

No, Xiao Yi possesses the strength of a Titled Douluo. Even Tang Hao is no match for her. With him around, how many people can possibly take advantage of her!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu became excited and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Xiao Wu looked at Gu Yi in front of her and murmured in her heart.

"Although Xiao Yi's strength is equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo, he is still level 50. He should not have seen through my identity."

"Should I take the initiative to tell Xiao Yi my true identity..."

Xiao Wu was a little conflicted. She didn't know if Xiao Yi would turn around and kill her to get his spirit ring and spirit bone after she told him.

When Tang Hao appeared before, Xiao Wu was so desperate that she was ready to sacrifice herself to Gu Yi.

This shows her feelings for Gu Yi.

However, Xiao Wu is also very clear about how great the temptation of hundred thousand year spirit rings and spirit bones is to spirit masters. Some fathers and sons, and brothers cannot help but become enemies when facing them.

She didn't know how Gu Yi would react when he found out.

Speaking of hundred thousand year old soul beasts, Xiao Wu couldn't help but glance at the two-headed fire spirit snake under her feet.

She could never have imagined that there was actually such a 100,000-year-old soul beast beside Qing Lin...

No, Xiao Wu carefully investigated the cultivation level of the two-headed fire snake and found that it should be ninety thousand years to be exact, just a hair's breadth away from a hundred thousand years.

But the aura emitted by the two-headed fire spirit snake is not weaker than that of an ordinary hundred thousand year old soul beast, such as her before she transformed...

It can be seen that it is the same as Er Ming's 'Titan Giant Ape', a soul beast with a high bloodline, and can rival a soul beast of 100,000 years with its 90,000 years of cultivation!
Xiao Wu couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Qinglin, how did you get such a soul beast?"

Hearing this, Qing Lin first looked at Gu Yi, and after seeing him nod, he smiled and explained to Xiao Wu: "This is a special ability of mine."

Qinglin pointed to his own green eyes and said, "I have a special physique called Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil. You can also regard it as a special martial soul. It allows me to easily control most snake-shaped soul beasts. Xiaohuo is the one I subdued before."

"Can you control most snake-shaped soul beasts?" Xiao Wu exclaimed, her eyes full of disbelief.

She didn't expect that there was such a physique in this world.

Xiao Wu thought of her younger brother Daming. Isn't he the snake soul beast 'Sky Blue Bull Python'?

Doesn’t that mean that the Ming Dynasty has no power to resist Qinglin?

After all, Daming is only a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which is about 10,000 years stronger than the two-headed fire spirit snake, so the difference in strength is not that big. Xiao Wu was silent for a long time: "Since you can control this two-headed fire spirit snake, will you kill it in the future and obtain its soul ring and soul bone?"

"Why do you want to kill Xiaohuo?" Qinglin asked curiously, "Xiaohuo is so strong, but he is a good partner and can play a big role in the battle. The spirit ring I get from killing it can be obtained by killing other kinds of spirit beasts."

And Qinglin didn’t mention another reason.

The Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil has a domineering function, which is to absorb the cultivation of the snake-like monster it controls.

However, the absorption speed is relatively slow and is limited by Qinglin's strength.

As Qinglin's cultivation level increases, the absorption speed will become faster and faster, which will push Qinglin's cultivation level up in the opposite direction, and repeat this process.

If the two-headed fire snake were alive, it would be like having one more person to practice on.

One is a one-time transaction, and the other is a long-term one. Qinglin naturally knows which one to choose.

What's more, the two-headed fire spirit snake came from the Douqi Continent, and it is still unclear whether killing it will produce spirit rings or spirit bones.

"Is that so..." Xiao Wu murmured, "Xiao Yi, Qing Lin, if a new 100,000-year soul beast appeared in front of you, would you want to kill her?"

"Xiao Wu, do you want to say that you are the incarnation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast?" Gu Yi said with a smile, confronting her directly.

Xiao Wu was startled, her watery eyes widened with fear: "How did you guess that?"

"I knew this when we first met six years ago." Gu Yi said, "Your aura is different from that of humans. In addition, you have never gone soul hunting in the past six years, but you have obtained three soul rings one after another. This shows that you are a transformed hundred thousand year soul beast."

Xiao Wu didn't think too much about the loopholes in Gu Yi's words, but just asked nervously: "Then why didn't you..."

Qinglin stepped forward and took Xiaowu's hand, saying softly: "Don't worry, Master Yi and I both regard you as a family member, how could we harm you."

Gu Yi nodded: "That's right, Xiao Wu, whether you are a human or a soul beast, in my eyes, you are you, and my feelings for you will not change at all."

Xiao Wu's nervousness disappeared when she heard this, and she looked at Gu Yi with an extremely gentle gaze.

Now that she has come clean with Gu Yi, the depression and panic that had always existed in her heart have finally dissipated, and her feelings for Gu Yi have grown stronger.

"Xiao Wu, are you willing to open your heart to me?"

"Okay." Xiao Wu said carelessly, and immediately opened her arms defenselessly.

Gu Yi's eyes lit up, and a shadow of a majestic door appeared...

……

The avenue outside Soto City.

Gu Yi and the other two rode on their red-blood horses and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for the two-headed fire spirit snake, it had been taken back by Qinglin into the space within the green snake's three-flower pupil.

Xiao Wu seemed very excited along the way.

This time, when she returns to the Xingdou Great Forest, Xiao Wu can finally meet Da Ming and Er Ming whom she has not seen for a long time.

However, just as the three were about to bypass the city of Soto, two figures suddenly appeared on the side of the road and blocked their way.

These two people were Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

Ning Rongrong's eyes passed over her and looked directly at Gu Yi: "Your Majesty Gu Yi, I would like to invite you to join us on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. What do you think?"
