Tang Ao meditated at the bottom of the canyon for a long time.
"Let's go out and meet them." Tang Ao jumped up and grabbed onto a small cave, and used the force of the jump to jump onto a vine that was not too far away. He climbed up for a distance, and when he reached the top, he kicked off the cliff, borrowing the force once again … After repeating this for a dozen times, they finally saw the top of the cliff.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Tang Ao poked his head out from the cliff, an iron arrow whistled over, grazed past Tang Ao's head and with a "deng" sound, it landed on the cliff behind Tang Ao.
"Plop!"
The iron arrows on the cliff burst open and a cloud of reddish smoke filled the whole canyon in the span of a few breaths.
"AHH!" At the bottom of the canyon, the screams of the beasts echoed in the canyon. Some of the bigger ones stumbled out of the cave, dragging half of their rotten bodies with them. However, they accidentally slipped and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
"Master, be careful, this smoke is poisonous." Xiao Kong was so frightened that he desperately tried to squeeze his way to the deepest part of Tang Ao's chest.
"Breaking Technique, Soul Devouring Powder!" How despicable. " Although Tang Ao held onto his nose and mouth in time, he still inhaled a little and immediately felt his entire body go soft, his limbs became powerless.
"Hahaha!" Tang Ao, what's the smell of this Soul Devouring Powder? Do you feel weak all over? Don't be nervous, what's more exciting is still coming! " Duan Batian succeeded in his conspiracy, and laughed complacently.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, Tang Ao felt his entire body was itching, and when he scratched, it felt like he was scratching his boots, as though the pain came from deep inside his soul.
"So this is what a Soul Devourer is! Damn it!"
With that, Tang Ao landed in a slightly larger cave in the middle of the cliff, with his back facing the strange beast's corpse which had long been corroded by the Soul Devouring Powder.
Inside his dantian, a thick pink stream of spirit energy was circling around a jade colored liquid, extending tens of thousands of tiny tentacles, and slowly corroding the jade colored liquid. Within the span of a few breaths, the drop of emerald liquid had lost a whole circle of weight.
"This is bad!" "My Orb!" Tang Ao investigated the situation with his spirit sense and was shocked by this scene to the point that he broke out in cold sweat.
The inner pellet was the foundation of a martial artist's training. Breathing in spiritual qi and converting it into true qi required the participation and assistance of the inner pellet.
Right now, after the pink colored energy invaded, not only was it not assimilated by Tang Ao's Orb, but it was instead the opposite and began to absorb the Orb. How could Tang Ao not be alarmed? If he was completely assimilated, then not only would Tang Ao's cultivation be lost as a cripple, he would also lose, and be turned into pus by the Soul Devouring Powder.
Immediately, with a thought from Tang Ao, 365 major acupoints and millions of different sized meridians all contained a large and small amount of true essence which began to gather gradually by Tang Ao. Bai Chuan converged, forming a true essence current in his dantian that was even larger than pink spirit energy.
Charge!
Tang Ao's brows twitched, and the true essence beneath his dantian started to flow. At first, it was like a parade, slow and leisurely. Within a few breaths, his speed was raised to that of a galloping horse, then it became faster and faster, the momentum became more and more powerful like ten thousand horses galloping, crushing the mountains and seas of pink spiritual energy.
"Crash!"
Tang Ao's Dantian surged violently, the True Origin fiercely blasted towards the pink Spiritual Qi, immediately breaking it into pieces and stripping it off from the Orb.
"Hu!" Tang Ao heaved a sigh of relief, the spirit qi had been scattered, as long as he kept the Orb, he could force out the remaining poison, and after taking some time to recuperate, he would be able to settle the score with Duan Batian and the others.
Just as he was about to circulate his energy, his dantian felt a sharp pain, which caused Tang Ao to grimace in pain.
"How, how could this be!" As he probed with his divine sense, Tang Ao was somewhat alarmed.
The pink colored spiritual energy that was originally in pieces was absorbed into the inner core again. Compared to before it was broken up, the inner core was even bigger and completely enveloped by the spiritual energy.
Tang Ao was not willing to give up, he once again channeled all of the True Qi in his body and charged towards the pink colored Spiritual Qi again. Just like before, the moment they came into contact, the pink spiritual energy immediately dissipated. After a few breaths of time, the spiritual energy condensed on the inner core again and became a bit bigger.
After failing three times, Tang Ao once again thought, "If my true qi isn't good, then I can only try to change it."
Tang Ao activated the Innate Qi around his body once again, and when it gathered at his Dantian, his Innate True Origin suddenly transformed. The huge amount of True Origin gradually condensed into a stream that was denser than True Origin and had its volume reduced by a few rounds. Elemental energy!
"Haa!"
Tang Ao carried a bit of anger, and directed his spirit force to rush towards the pink spirit energy. With a "Pop" sound, the pink spirit energy was instantly grinded into mustard powder, and was wrapped up by the spirit energy and absorbed into the Orb.
Tang Ao was already sweating profusely as he panted heavily, "I didn't think that converting true qi to true qi would exhaust my mental energy to such an extent." He immediately meditated and recuperated.
Outside the canyon, Duan Batian and the other two who were waiting saw that there were no longer any movements from the canyon, and crawled over to the side of the cliff. When they stretched their heads out, they saw Tang Ao meditating and recuperating below, and immediately laughed out loud, "How is the Soul Devouring Powder? Do you feel uncomfortable all over? "
"Argh!" We are fellow disciples of the same sect, there is no need to harm you. As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me a few times and apologize, I will give you the antidote, what do you think? "
"Alright, Brother Tian, pull me up first. I'll kneel down and kowtow to you!" Tang Ao had just recovered and was trying his best to hold in his anger.
"Good!" Ha ha-ha ha, in front of me, Duan Batian, a dragon has to lie down, a tiger has to lie down. No matter how strong you are, Tang Ao, you are still obedient. " Thinking of this, Duan Batian couldn't help but let out a savage laugh with a complacent look on his face.
With the help of the disciples under Duan Batian, Tang Ao was pulled up and slumped lifelessly on the ground.
Duan Batian laughed out loud and walked in front of Tang Ao. He raised his foot to stomp on Tang Ao's face a few times, to avenge his smack on his face with the shoe board.
"Pah!"
Before the two disciples could react, Duan Batian's figure flew out like he was on a Heaven's Mandate Platform.
Its huge body created a large crater in the stone ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Its swollen face that had not disappeared yet swelled up like a bun once again.
"You, you dared to hit me, what are you two standing there for? "Attack!" Duan Batian covered his face and struggled to get up.
The two disciples looked at Tang Ao in disbelief, and stood there in a daze until Duan Batian called out to them. Only then did they react, and the three surrounded and attacked Tang Ao together.
Tang Ao did not move, his right hand waved, and a rusted long spear suddenly appeared. The dark red Azure Dragon roared at the sky, and wrapped itself around the tip of the Spear Soul of Hundred War, and pierced towards the three.
