Chapter 14 Rebellion
[Other spiritual beings], this is a different kind of prompt than before.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, Chen Yi roughly understood the situation.
The Arrowscale Fish is a mutated demonic beast with a trace of ancestral blood. Its fish bubble is specially refined, allowing it to accumulate water spiritual power and is engraved with unique demonic patterns.
During battle, the demonic runes erupt, and the water elemental power within the fish bubble creates a special rotational acceleration, causing the water arrows fired to exceed their original level.
This mid-grade first-tier sword-scaled fish can shoot water arrows that are already at the high-grade first-tier level.
One of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who hunted this fish was seriously injured.
Of course, Chen Yi's extraction of its spiritual essence did not allow him to inscribe the mutated, accelerating demonic patterns from the ancestral bloodline of the demon fish into his own acupoints.
But there were also considerable gains.
He devoted all his spirituality to figuring out the skill [罡气指] (罡气指).
Finally, he was even able to temporarily imbue objects with the internal energy stored in the acupoints of his fingers and unleash it.
Chen Yi had tried it; previously, his internal energy was only used as a driving force, and the stones he threw could barely penetrate a poplar tree as thick as a bowl at a distance of twenty meters before losing much of their power.
With this power, when encountering a top-tier martial artist, the opponent will not be able to react within five meters and can be killed; within ten meters, it may be able to injure them; but at a distance of twenty meters, the effect is generally less significant.
Now, after careful deduction, Chen Yi tested the application of his internal energy to the stones. He found that within thirty meters, it could penetrate three poplar trees as thick as a bowl.
The first poplar tree had a small, smooth, and neat hole, about the size of a pebble; the second tree had a larger hole.
When the third tree was hit, the qi exploded, and the entire poplar tree was snapped in half.
The ability to imbue stones with inner energy is generally an effect only those with innate strength can achieve.
Chen Yi comprehended the skill ahead of time, thus mastering a skill that could threaten innate martial artists or Qi-refining cultivators.
After he deduced and understood it, he practiced diligently every day, putting in a lot of effort.
This was his strongest self-defense technique before he reached the Innate Realm.
On this day, outside the Li family's important herb garden...
Three sword beams tore through the air and the barrier of the Ice Crystal Herb Garden shattered with a deafening roar.
In the herb garden, the elder of the Li family made a hand seal to summon an ice python to entangle the attacker. Suddenly, a ten-zhang-long vine dragon shot up from the spiritual field behind him and strangled the attacker's flying sword.
The Medicine Spirit Pool exploded with the roars of demonic beasts, and the Xuan Shui Turtles spat out ice spikes, heading straight for the visiting cultivators.
"This is a restricted area of the medicinal herb garden; trespassers will be executed!"
After a brief exchange, neither side gained the upper hand. Li Ningfeng, an elder of the Li family at the ninth level of Qi Refining, looked at the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators hovering in the air outside the medicine garden with a serious expression.
The leader of the three flew forward half a zhang and said loudly:
"The Dong family is hunting down the traitors of the Jade Dragon Sect. We would like to ask the Li family for their assistance."
Having said that, he tossed out a jade token, which stopped ten feet in front of the Li family elder.
The jade tablet emitted a special spiritual energy fluctuation, which was the Jade Dragon Sect, the Golden Core sect that ruled over this area!
Li Ningfeng's expression was solemn. He gestured to the guards of the herb garden to put away their magical artifacts, but he did not retreat an inch.
"Since the sect has given the order, the Li family will not obstruct us. However, the area behind is the Li family's medicinal garden, and no one may enter without the patriarch's permission. This also applies to Fellow Daoist Dong."
"Elder Li, our tracking talisman confirms that the traitor is hiding in the herb garden. If you don't allow us to enter, then your Li family will have to apprehend him. But if he escapes, and the sect holds you accountable, my Dong family will not bear the responsibility for your Li family!"
"It's late-stage Qi Refining in the Dong family," Dong Jialian said in a deep voice.
Li Ningfeng hesitated for a long time before finally sighing and waving his hand.
"Raise the troops! Catch the thief!"
Below, more than twenty cultivators simultaneously formed hand seals and unleashed their magic power, instantly covering the entire medicinal garden, which spanned several thousand feet in radius, with a protective light barrier.
If the inside and outside are isolated, even flies and insects cannot fly out.
"Fellow Daoist Dong, today I, Li, will give you an explanation. I will record this with a recording stone. Even if it fails, if the higher sects investigate in the future, my Li family will have done our best. Hmph!"
Li Ningfeng snorted coldly.
He then used his divine sense to enter the formation and began to search every corner of the herb garden with all his might.
"Elder Li, a friendly reminder: that traitor does not possess any magical powers. He is a strongman from the sect. When searching, do not mistake him for an ordinary person and miss him. Instead, focus on those with strong qi and blood like demonic beasts."
In the air, the Dong family cultivator gave another reminder.
Upon hearing this, Li Ningfeng paused slightly and changed his divine sense search strategy.
At the same time, he shouted, "Have all spirit beasts assemble below!"
He used an array to expand the range of his divine sense, exceeding the original coverage of thirty feet. Beyond that, he found it difficult to clearly distinguish the auras between body cultivators and demonic beasts.
Therefore, this order was issued.
Upon seeing this, the three cultivators from the Dong family had a strange glint in their eyes.
Soon,
Suddenly, a commotion arose on the west side of the herb garden, where several black water turtles were frantically digging at the ground.
Li Ningfeng's divine sense swept over it, and his pupils contracted—among the gaps in the turtle swarm, a certain servant's muscles were bulging and his blood and qi were surging like smoke!
"rise!"
Li Ningfeng made a hand seal to activate the formation, and an ice python rose from the spirit pool and shot towards the burly man.
But then the burly man roared and shattered the ice crystals. Blood-red lines appeared on his bronze skin as he actually withstood the pressure of the formation and crashed into the light barrier.
"As expected, a body cultivator has infiltrated!"
Li Ningfeng snorted coldly, waved the array flag in his hand, and several ice needles appeared out of thin air, shooting towards that person. Each ice needle had the power of a first-grade high-level spell, which was extremely difficult for ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to withstand.
Amidst the crackling sounds,
The man withstood more than ten ice needles, blood splattering from his body, yet he still did not lose his fighting ability.
He took off running at breakneck speed, comparable to a demonic beast, heading straight for the edge of the array of lights.
He grinned maliciously and took out a talisman from his sleeve, slamming it hard against the array's light barrier. The talisman unleashed a powerful shockwave, causing the array's light barrier to melt away like spring snow upon contact!
"A high-grade, first-tier formation-breaking talisman!"
Li Ningfeng was startled. After the man broke through the formation, he continued to run wildly into the distance.
The cultivators from the Li family's medicinal garden wanted to give chase, but Li Ningfeng stopped them by raising his hand. He looked at the three Dong family cultivators in the air:
"Fellow Daoist Dong, I have captured the traitor you mentioned and even injured him."
The Li family has done its best in this regard. Our cultivators from the herb garden still have duties to perform and cannot be dispatched to pursue them.
The rest is up to you, but be careful to avoid the important spiritual veins of my Li family when you pursue them.
"Very well, Elder Li, thank you for today!" The leading cultivator from the Dong family flashed his sword and said, "Follow me!"
Three streaks of light pierced the night sky, chasing after the burly man.
In the air, a flying sword, about an inch long, split off from the streak of light, shooting out with incredible speed and arriving first despite being launched later, heading straight for the burly man.
With a scream of agony, blood splattered from the burly man's body, and the flesh on his back tore open, revealing the bare bone.
However, he acted as if nothing had happened, only staggering slightly before continuing his mad dash.
In the air, the leading cultivator from the Dong family frowned: "This strongman is truly tough and hard to kill."
The three men took turns launching flying swords at the burly man, causing him to sustain more and more wounds.
Left with no other choice, he burst into a furious laugh: "You guys surnamed Dong, do you think you'll have a good end if you serve as dogs for the sect?"
I would rather give this Vajra Skill to mortal servants and dogs than leave it to you.
You who monopolize resources, you'll all die a horrible death!
After saying this, the burly man laughed wildly in extreme anger, and directly blocked the last flying sword with one arm. After severing his arm, he fell into the lake and disappeared.
Two days later, at midnight,
Fifty miles from the lakeside town, at the entrance of a desolate mountain cave...
Chen Yi, carrying food and various daily necessities, paused slightly.
