Junior sister, I really need to control you

“Even if I were to face this attack, I would have to avoid its sharp edge.” Chi Ling hovered beside him, her expression equally solemn.

But after she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Yinsheng, a strange tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"However, with your formation now, I am confident that I can confront you head-on."

Li Yinsheng didn't pay much attention to Chi Ling's words, staring at the giant hand that was closing in with unstoppable force, as if it were about to crush a mosquito.

Those twelve people were only able to barely resist thanks to a rather sophisticated combined attack formation and corresponding combined attack magic weapons; otherwise, they would have been crushed to death long ago.

What an overbearing divine power!

Li Yinsheng stroked his chin, staring at the woman casting the spell in the very center of the trapping formation, a glint of longing flashing in his eyes.

"Miss Chiling, let's not beat around the bush. I really want this supernatural power," he said calmly.

"Then shall we go and steal it?" Chiling asked almost immediately.

It seems that for her, taking what she wants is a perfectly normal logic.

Li Yinsheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

If it were something else, he might hesitate a little.

But the most special thing about this supernatural power to him was not its power, but that when the jade hand appeared, the vast amount of the three elements of Qi accumulated in his body resonated with it very clearly!

Chapter 202 The Art of Sacrifice

Above the edge of the Immortal's Former Abode.

Li Yinsheng concealed his aura and looked at the giant hand that covered twenty or thirty miles.

He was quite certain that, in addition to magical power, the giant hand clearly contained a considerable amount of the Three Elements Qi.

However, what resonated with his own Three Primal Qi was not the Three Primal Qi in the giant hand, but rather the way the giant hand itself operated its magical power.

"Shall we make a move?" Chiling asked from the side.

"Judging from their appearance, they are proficient in the combined attack formation of twelve people and have a complete set of magic weapons. They must be from the same force."

Li Yinsheng said, "Looking at the entire Shengyuan City, the only place that can produce such a lineup is probably the incredibly mysterious Shengyuan Palace."

"If you can avoid revealing your identity, then try not to."

He shook his head and extended his hand to Chiling: "Miss Chiling, give me your hand. I have a little trick to conceal my identity."

Without the slightest hesitation, Chi Ling grasped Li Yinsheng's hand tightly.

The technique of concealing one's aura and disguised appearance while hiding one's poison was activated, and a faint purple light flashed by.

Li Yinsheng and Chi Ling, who were originally standing in mid-air, were now as if they were wrapped in two layers of purple gauze, making it difficult to recognize their faces and figures.

……

Enveloped by a giant jade hand.

The deputy hall master's aura fluctuated violently. Although his expression was not visible in his aura, the people around him could sense it from the change in his aura.

As the linchpin of the formation, the deputy hall master bore the greatest pressure, expended a great deal of magical power, and had already suffered some backlash.

"Don't worry about me, the power of this Luo Tian San Shou is indeed not as strong as last time..."

The deputy hall master's face lit up with joy: "Abandon your defenses and immediately concentrate your attacks on one point to break this divine power. Then Saintess Jingxuan will be powerless to resist!"

As the deputy hall master gave the order, the remaining people's Dharma bodies shone brightly, and they each unleashed their killing moves.

Flames, lightning swords, windmills, earth dragons, and two-colored spheres of light intertwined...

Although the forms are different, the landing point is the same: the base of the middle finger of that giant hand.

As these deadly attacks rained down, the seemingly indestructible giant hand trembled violently before dissipating at a visible speed.

The pressure that had been placed on everyone, almost crushing them to pieces, receded like the tide.

Trapped in the center of the formation, the green-clad woman's originally pale face flushed red, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Damn it..." she gritted her teeth, "If I weren't injured and my magic power wasn't weakened..."

In reality, even the combined attack of those eleven attacks was not enough to truly defeat the giant hand.

It only greatly increased the consumption of her magical power, and her magical power was insufficient, so the Luo Tian San Shou technique dissipated on its own.

She gave a bitter smile, a resolute glint in her eyes.

If I can't escape this cage, there's no point in living.

Moreover, if they were truly captured by this group and fell into the hands of that old geezer, the Heavenly Maiden, they would likely suffer a fate worse than death.

Since that's the case, why not...

As the crowd gathered around her from all directions, a light mark appeared between her brows. It was ancient and simple, yet it exuded a pressure far surpassing that of those at the Earthly Realm.

"Saintess Jingxuan! What are you doing?!"

Seeing this, the leading deputy hall master felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

He recognized the light mark between Jingxuan's eyebrows; it was the mark of the Earthly Saintess's inheritance, a symbol of her status second only to the Heavenly Saintess.

Saintess Jingxuan looked at everyone, and a crack appeared in the light mark between her brows.

"Since there is no way to escape, I will self-destruct the Earthly Origin Saint Seal and perish together with you villains!"

She let out a sharp cry, and although pain appeared on her face, her fingertips continued to form hand seals, causing the cracks in the light seals to widen...

The deputy hall master's waist pouch lit up, and a pure white holy light flew out, shining down and enveloping Saintess Jingxuan.

The crack that had been there between her brows instantly disappeared, and she returned to calm.

Saintess Jingxuan's face turned ashen.

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Maiden had anticipated this..." The Vice Hall Master breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, it's fortunate that you were prepared in advance, otherwise I wouldn't know how to stop this fellow Daoist from self-destructing. I'm afraid I would have had to forcibly knock her unconscious."

A hoarse sound, like stones rubbing together, rang out, yet it carried a rather lighthearted, teasing tone.

"Who?!" As the deputy hall master spoke, a mighty sword light slashed towards the direction from which the disturbance came.

The sword light stretched for ten miles, as if a long river had appeared out of thin air, only to be cleaved in half midway.

"Huh? You're a sword cultivator? Sorry, sorry, the sword energy on you isn't pure. I thought you were just a minor sword cultivator."

A tall, purple figure appeared in the void, its body radiating demonic energy.

Beside him, a similarly petite figure in purple was being led by the hand.

"Are you a demonic cultivator? How dare you interfere in the private affairs of my Holy Origin Palace!" the deputy hall master rebuked.

"Leave now, and I might spare your lives!"

Although the man blocked his sword strike, he showed little fear.

With four peak Earthly Origin Realm experts and eight Earthly Origin True Person experts, they would never lose to two Earthly Origin True Person experts.

Saintess Jingxuan, bearing the legacy of the Holy Venerable, can no longer be regarded as a True Person of the Earthly Realm.

How much of a threat could these two cowardly rats pose against such a large group of them?

"Well... Let's not beat around the bush. I'm here because I'm very interested in the supernatural powers that you fellow Daoists who were besieged just now used."

Li Yinsheng said, "If you can persuade this fellow Daoist to lend me his supernatural powers, I will leave immediately without resorting to violence."

Under the cover of suspicion of drug use, his voice sounded hoarse and demonic, appearing dark and cold.

But a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the Holy Maiden Jingxuan standing to the side—

As long as I can escape, as long as I can get out of this place...

"So you've got your eyes on the Holy Venerable's legacy? You're courting death! Make your move!" The Vice Hall Master's face hardened, and he immediately shouted.

Li Yinsheng shook his head, and the minor supernatural power brought by the slow poison was activated.

In an instant, all twelve Earthly Immortals had the illusion that they were being crushed by mountains on their backs.

"What kind of divine power is this? It has such suppressive force..."

"Don't be afraid, we have a formation, we'll share the burden..."

Li Yinsheng raised his hand and made a few hand seals, and the formation that had originally trapped Saintess Jingxuan with no way to escape was shattered like a soap bubble.

Apart from the four peak Earthly Realm cultivators who were still able to move, the other eight were frozen in place, unable to circulate their magical power, and their divine senses were forced back into their bodies.

Chi Ling glanced at Li Yinsheng with some surprise.

You don't even need to lift a finger; you can suppress eight cultivators of the same level with just your aura, even though you're not even at the peak of the Dharma Aspect stage. What kind of supernatural power is that?

Since you possess such supernatural powers, it seems unnecessary for you to place so much importance on that human woman's abilities.

Li Yinsheng had no idea what Chiling was thinking; he only marveled at how effective the slow poison was against lower-level cultivators.

Although he himself was only a Dharma Aspect, after reaching the ninth level of the Three Elements True Technique, his actual magical power had been elevated to a level far exceeding the peak of the Dharma Aspect.

He then turned to look at the remaining four peak Earthly Realm cultivators.

"Gentlemen, please return, lest you lose your lives."

But to his surprise, none of the four men backed down; instead, they all rushed forward.

He was taken aback, then grabbed Chi Ling, who was about to make a move, and flicked the spirit insect cage at his waist.

"Perfect timing. I've been feeding you all for so long, it's time for me to come out and do something."

A cloud of blood rose from him, splitting into several streams that spread toward the four people.

A dense aura of bloodlust instantly spread, causing widespread panic.

"What kind of demonic insect is that? This sky full of blood demonic energy, how many Earthly Realm True Persons' essence blood must it have devoured?!" someone screamed.

Before they could react, the blood demons transformed from the Crimson Mosquitoes flew over and solidified into various blood jade weapons.

Knife, spear, sword, halberd, dagger, spear, lance...

Although each piece is as beautiful as ruby, the bloodlust surrounding them is even more solidified.

After glancing at the four peak Earthly Realm cultivators being chased by the Crimson Mosquitoes, Li Yinsheng nodded in satisfaction.

Now, after he has nurtured the Crimson Mosquito with a large amount of withered and flourishing spiritual energy and true blood, it can be considered usable.
