Standing in front of the Main Peak Butler Hall, Qin Ran saw the tribulation lightning rising from Dan Peak, his mind was struck as if by lightning, and he fainted, sitting down with a thud. It took him quite a while to regain his senses and stand up again.
He wiped his face and his entire hand was covered in blood...his seven orifices were bleeding.
"Still backlash from the divine soul pact." He sighed to himself.
He had thought everything was arranged unintentionally, unconsciously, and without malice on his part, which could exploit a loophole in the divine soul pact.
But no, when Long Qiqi carried out the tree cutting plan, he still suffered backlash. Fortunately the backlash wasn't too terrible, just minor injuries.
If Long Qiqi's tree cutting before and after were seen as a chess game, then he, Qin Ran, and the Extremity Demon Weeping Willow were the chess players.
Among them, the little abacus in Tushan Youyou's heart was the tacit understanding they had, or rather, the fruits in Tushan Youyou's hands were the beginning of this game.
Qin Ran told Weeping Willow that the fruits were in Lingnan Immortal Sect, using this to evade Weeping Willow's request to find the fruits. But he clearly knew Tushan Youyou had the fruits, the Yuanying stage cultivators of the major sects all had the fruits...
So the fruits in Tushan Youyou's hands were the crux of Qin Ran and Extremity Demon Weeping Willow's chess game!
And for Qin Ran and Weeping Willow, looking down from on high, seeing everything clearly, the little abacus in Tushan Youyou's heart was too easy for them to discern.She obtained the Extremity Demon Weeping Willow's fruits, such a treasure, but didn't know how to use it. Now Extremity Demon Weeping Willow was at Dan Peak, wouldn't she want to find him to ask for the method to use it? And the Nine Extremes Primordial Spirit Demon Devouring Skill on Extremity Demon Weeping Willow's body that even Lingnan Immortal Sect coveted, wouldn't she want it?
Tushan Youyou was too easy to see through, too easy to draw into the game.
As long as Long Qiqi suggested getting rid of Extremity Demon Weeping Willow, she would definitely agree wholeheartedly...in order to take advantage of the situation.
For Qin Ran, this game was using the crisis to get Long Qiqi to cut down the tree, using Tushan Youyou's little abacus to draw her into a big battle with Extremity Demon Weeping Willow, while holding Li Shiyin and Chasing the Wind in reserve, using the tribulation lightning in the dan cauldron to defeat Extremity Demon Weeping Willow at the critical moment.
And for Extremity Demon Weeping Willow, it was him revealing his true form and reaching an overt agreement with Qin Ran, forcing Qin Ran to make arrangements to kill him, thereby drawing out Tushan Youyou to take action, then taking advantage of the chaos to plot against the fruits on Tushan Youyou.
From Extremity Demon Weeping Willow's perspective, with his absolute advantage in strength, plus Qin Ran being restricted from acting, there would only be a tiny threat from Tushan Youyou.
But he miscalculated two things. One was overestimating the seductive power of his demon skills - he didn't know that for Qin Ran, life safety was above all. To get rid of him, Qin Ran didn't hesitate to suffer backlash.
The other thing was, he never knew that the tribulation lightning that erupted from under his tree roots when he was devouring everything was Qin Ran's doing.
Ultimately, Extremity Demon Weeping Willow was still too arrogant. He never took the likes of Qin Ran and Tushan Youyou seriously.
He didn't lose due to inferior strategy and planning, he lost to arrogance.
The tribulation lightning struck the willow tree charred black, and scorching flames burst out from the ground again.
Weeping Willow's painful shrieks came from the willow tree, from the raging flames...
"Will he die?" Chasing the Wind asked.
Li Shiyin shook her head, reminding Chasing the Wind, "He's stronger than the primordial spirit. The primordial spirit hasn't come out yet!"
Before her words fell, a figure of flames leapt out from the raging flames. It wasn't the kind of fire human like Huang Feiyu, it should have been an old man with a white beard, but his whole body was smeared with earth flames. He shrieked furiously and angrily, "Qin Ran!!"
"Chasing the Wind!!" Li Shiyin hurriedly shouted.
Chasing the Wind was quite tacit with her. At once, the black "King" character pattern on his forehead lit up with black light, and he shot a soul roar attack at the fiery human!
"Roar..."
This attack injured Weeping Willow, causing him to look over at Chasing the Wind, with a belly full of fury and killing intent, rushing over ferociously.
"Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens!"
Li Shiyin stood in front of Chasing the Wind, putting away Falling Star Sword and summoning Dusk Sword. Facing a terrifying demonic beast like Extremity Demon Weeping Willow, she didn't dare hold anything back, directly using her strongest move.
In a flash, the wind and clouds changed, starlight shone onto Dusk Sword, forming a dozen meters of purplish-black sword qi to meet the charging fiery human. With one slash of her sword,
Without sword intent, it was very difficult to injure the primordial spirit. But with Li Shiyin's slash, it immediately cut Weeping Willow in two halves, both of which froze in midair, shrieking and struggling.
Her magic power exhausted, Li Shiyin's face was pale, but she didn't dare stop, her eyes fixed on the two halves of Weeping Willow, while her other hand protected Chasing the Wind as she retreated back.
She didn't dare confirm how much damage her move had done to Weeping Willow...although she had the primordial spirit, she had no means of attack.
But before they could retreat two steps, the two halves of Weeping Willow instantly melded back into one. His figure flickered, crossing the space to arrive before Li Shiyin, opening his mouth.
His mouth stretched infinitely wide like rubber, while producing an inexplicable force that immobilized Li Shiyin on the spot.
Not only immobilizing her, but Li Shiyin was also being slowly sucked into his mouth.
"Chaos splitting, the cosmos vast. Heaven and earth evolving, sun, moon and stars. All things established, the body like the cosmos. Chaos splitting..." Li Shiyin quickly recited the dan refining verses from Dan Peak to resist the suction force.
Seeing Li Shiyin being sucked bit by bit into the huge mouth, Chasing the Wind was suddenly frantic. He pounced over, but passed straight through the fiery human's body. Turning back, he saw in horror that Li Shiyin's figure was shrinking, speeding towards the mouth.
In his panic, a flash of inspiration hit him. The black "King" character pattern on his forehead suddenly shone brightly, and he roared at Weeping Willow again...
Weeping Willow never imagined there would come a day he would be targeted by a tiger as a ghoul. He was focused only on swallowing Li Shiyin, completely ignoring the young tiger Chasing the Wind. Thus, he was actually sucked into Chasing the Wind's ghoul space without the slightest resistance.
The encircling from behind innate to the tiger tribe's soul was not without reason.
"Ah!" But the next second, Chasing the Wind cried out in pain.
Taking Weeping Willow's primordial spirit into the ghoul space was impressive, but Weeping Willow's primordial spirit was so extremely powerful, how could the ghoul space of a young Xuanming spirit tiger contain it?
Weeping Willow hadn't made any moves yet, but just his primordial spirit was already causing Chasing the Wind excruciating headaches, the whole tiger falling into Sword Washing Lake, rolling about in the water, hugging his head and howling in pain without stop.
Rescued, Li Shiyin didn't even have time to catch her breath before seeing Chasing the Wind's agonized appearance. She looked back at Tushan Youyou, only to see Tushan Youyou standing with arms crossed far off in the sky, watching the battle coolly for a long time.
"Hmm!" She kept taking deep breaths, forcing herself to stay calm. Only by staying calm would there be a chance. "Ask not the heavens, ask of yourself!"
Exerting Flying Immortal Seeking Way, she flashed over to sit cross-legged atop the roof of the Pavilion in the Middle of the Lake, and closed her eyes to summon her primordial spirit.
To injure the primordial spirit, only the primordial spirit would do!
Her primordial spirit left her body, gripping her lifebound sword Dusk, flying straight towards Chasing the Wind.
"Chasing the Wind!" She shouted loudly, "Let me in!"
Chasing the Wind's huge head emerged from the lake surface, bloodshot eyes. Seeing Li Shiyin's transparent primordial spirit, he understood Li Shiyin's intent. Despite the splitting headache, he still fell into hesitation.
"Trust me!" Li Shiyin told him.
Only then did Chasing the Wind activate the "King" character pattern, taking Li Shiyin into the ghoul space as well.
