Chapter 399: Draining Heavenly Veil

Jiang Li took two breaths and put away the damaged Immortal Slaying Flying Sword and Black Scale Armor. He looked outside the forest and saw that Daoist Mosquito had already fought with the Five Banishment Ox Demon.

However, the ox demon’s strength was still inferior to Jiang Li, and its protective light was broken in a single exchange.

Without even having a chance to escape, the black mouth spear stabbed into the bull’s butt.

The battle ended quickly. Instead of fighting, it was more like hunting.

Moo!

With a miserable cry, under the extraction of the long spear, the strong water buffalo body visibly shriveled.

In just a few breaths, it had already become emaciated. It was skin and bones, and it was obvious that it was losing its breath.

As for Daoist Mosquito, his body that was completely formed by black mosquitoes emitted a faint red light. His aura rose rapidly again.

Clearly, he was enjoying the blood and spiritual qi extracted from the ox demon.

“Low-grade blood~ It can be absorbed by me, Daoist Mosquito~ But you, an ox demon, have cultivated your fortune in several lifetimes.”

“My delicious friend~ Don’t worry~ You’ll be next~”

‘As he drew the ox demon’s blood, he looked at Jiang Li who was in the forest. The countless mosquito eyes on his entire body flickered with a greedy glow.

Inhis eyes, demons that were comparable to Soul Formation cultivators were only low-grade food.

However, Jiang Li who possessed the Human Emperor’s Blood Qi and ancient dragon blood could be called a delicacy.

‘The ox demon was already lying on the ground, gasping for breath. At this moment, hundreds of vines suddenly darted out from the forest and bound the ox demon before pulling it back.

The Five Banishment Demons could unleash their greatest power together. If one died, their combat strength would be halved.

Jiang Li had originally returned to take the treasure vault of the Five Banishment City this time. Now that the treasure vault was already destroyed, he could not throw away the combat strength that he had just obtained. He, Jiang Li, was thrifty and could not suffer such a huge loss.

“ thought you would run away immediately~ For a mere mount~ You’ll stay here and die~ It’s a lot less fun~”

‘When they saw Jiang Li save the demon, a ball of mosquitoes escaped from Daoist Mosquito’s body and flew to the vine that stretched out.

The agile vines instantly became stiff. Soon, they turned from emerald green to dry and completely lost their vitality. The pulling of the ox demon naturally stopped.

After absorbing enough spiritual qi, the mosquito flew back to Daoist Mosquito’s body and instinctively shared the gains with the entire cluster. Then, with the mosquito as the center, a green-black aura erupted and quickly spread throughout Daoist Mosquito’s body.

It was the poison that Jiang Li had buried in advance. Although it was not specifically targeted at insects, its poison was enough to casually let a large demon’s intestines rot.

However, the green-black qi did not last long. Daoist Mosquito quickly returned to his original appearance.

“Hahaha I, Daoist Mosquito~ I can devour anything in the world~ How can mere poison do anything to me?”

After seeing through Jiang Li’s thoughts, Daoist Mosquito laughed mockingly.

However, the next moment, the hundreds of withered vines suddenly exploded, revealing a pitch-black chain.

The black chain tightened under the immense force and pulled the ox demon back from the spear.

It turned out that the vine just now was only a disguise and the poison was only an attempt. The Dragon Imprisoning Lock hidden inside was the key to saving the ox demon.

“How dare you! How dare you snatch food from me!”

Daoist Mosquito had just absorbed more than a hundred thousand demons and the liquid of plants in a 50-kilometer radius had already faded.

It was not easy for decent ox blood to come, but it was snatched away midway.

How could Daoist Mosquito not be angry? Another ball of black mosquitoes flew out from his body and landed on the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

The spiritual qi that Jiang Li poured into the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was completely absorbed in the blink of an eye, causing the Dragon Imprisoning Lock to shrink at an even faster speed.

However, after absorbing all the spiritual qi that Jiang Li sent in, the mosquitoes stuck to the Dragon Imprisoning Lock could not absorb it no matter how hard they tried.

This was because the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was an ancient divine artifact. After being tempered by time, the original spiritual qi had long been lost. It did not possess spiritual qi itself, and Jiang Li had always been unable to repair it. Naturally, there was no spiritual qi to absorb.

It was useless even if they broke their mouths.

First, he threw the ox demon back into the coffin. It had just been sucked dry too badly, and 95% of its life had been lost. Even if he ate carefree grass, it would be very difficult to recover in a month.

Instead, Jiang Li looked at the mosquitoes that were still attached to the Dragon Imprisoning Lock. A ball of flames appeared in his hand again.

However, this time, Jiang Li’s Nine Nether Asura power had changed the ratio of the two energies. The ratio of 1:9 displayed the full characteristics of the Asura World’s power of chaos.

There was too much power of chaos contained in the energy. The ball of flames was blood-red in color and beat violently at all times.

After touching the Dragon Imprisoning Lock, the thick layer of tiny mosquitoes exploded like popcorn and quickly fell to the ground.

‘As expected, compared to the spiritual qi of the continent of the Nine Provinces, this kind of mosquito could not accept the power of the Asura World.

Moreover, they had absorbed the remaining demons in the entire Five Banishment City after all and even absorbed more than half of the ox demon’s spiritual qi. Every single black mosquito that was smaller than a sesame seed contained a lot of spiritual qi.

However, the next moment, the wriggling mosquitoes on Daoist Mosquito’s body fell silent.

Abump gradually appeared on his neck. Then, a ball of mosquitoes and chaotic energy exploded like popcorn.

Daoist Mosquito could not help but cry out in surprise.

“The power of Asura! ~You’re clearly a human~ How can you have the power of Asura!?”

Jiang Li could still hear the shock in the strange voice.

It was naturally impossible for Jiang Li to tell him his background. The Bloodthirsty Trident in his hand erupted with strength, causing the two sides to retreat some distance.

“Is it because of this weapon?”

“Hmph~ This trident can block my spear~ but under my Draining Heavenly Veil~ How long can you last?”

The shock lasted for a moment before Daoist Mosquito thought that he had guessed the reason.

As he looked at the spiritual smoke rising from the birds above Jiang Li, he was still confident in his victory.

He brandished his mouthpiece and continued to stab at Jiang Li.

However, with the Asura weapon, the Bloodthirsty Spear, how could Jiang Li suffer a loss twice?

The spear and trident collided without any disadvantage.

Daoist Mosquito’s movements were not slow. From time to time, he would scatter clusters of mosquitoes and attempt to attack Jiang Li’s main body.

Once these mosquitoes landed on their bodies, they would drill into their skin and bones, not stopping until they sucked them dry.

With a thought from Jiang Li, the Ananda Asura Blood Tattoo on his back that was covered under his robe lit up with a red light. A blood-colored phantom of a Thousand Hands Divine Statue with a benevolent expression enveloped his entire body.

The Divine Statue phantom was completely formed by the chaotic power of the Asura World.

‘The mosquitoes that flew to his side to steal spiritual qi all exploded and landed on the ground because they had stolen the power of chaos.

Seeing that this was feasible, Jiang Li even deliberately emitted spiritual qi and the power of chaos into the air.

The reason why he emitted spiritual qi was to let Daoist Mosquito think that he was quickly consuming it and make him think that his Draining Heavenly Veil spell technique was useful to stall for time.

‘The power of chaos was prepared for the mosquitoes on the other party’s body.

Jiang Li discovered that the complete Daoist Mosquito had intelligence that was not inferior to humans.

However, every mosquito that formed Daoist Mosquito only had instincts. These mosquitoes were greedy and would suck in the power of chaos without any choice.

Releasing the power of chaos to create an environment could slowly weaken the other party bit by bit.

Daoist Mosquito relied on the Draining Heavenly Veil while Jiang Li used the power of chaos. The two of them wanted to use a stalling method to slowly injure and weaken the other party.

Therefore, they maintained a tacit understanding and brandished two Earth-rank weapons to collide on the ruins of Five Banishment City.

However, the battle outside was intense. In the coffin, the Nine Nether clone, the sword cultivator clone, and the Divine Statue clone studied a red mosquito carefully.

‘There were at least a hundred thousand tiny black mosquitoes on the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

However, almost all of the flames formed in the chaos were dead. Only this red mosquito still had a complete body.

Moreover, it looked half dead just now, but now, it danced nimbly in a crystal cup.

The red mosquito repeatedly collided with the inverted crystal cup, causing cracks to appear on the blanket as it tried to escape.

The three clones looked at each other. In the end, the statue clone took action and drew out a stream of the power of chaos before pouring it into the crystal cup from the gap.

‘When the red mosquito sensed a high concentration of external energy, it immediately absorbed it instinctively.

However, the scene of the popcorn exploding did not happen. Instead, the red mosquito grew a little larger, then split into two and shattered the crystal cup.

This red mosquito could actually absorb the power of chaos!!4

‘The three clones and Jiang Li, who was fighting Daoist Mosquito in the outside world, revealed a trace of shock at the same time.

However, it was quickly suppressed by him.

Slowly, more and more mosquitoes fell to the ground. Jiang Li took the initiative to slow down and his strength decreased.

It seemed that both sides were gradually exhausted from the intense battle.

However, hidden in the eyes of both sides, there was a feeling that their plan had succeeded.

1

After fighting for a day and night, the mosquitoes on Daoist Mosquito’s body became much sparser, and Jiang Li gradually showed signs of weakness.

Finally, at a certain moment, the spears and forks of both sides did not collide. Instead, they formed two parallel straight lines and stabbed into the other party’s body like lightning.
