Chapter 173: The Right to Be Willful (1/2)
In his eyes that were covered in the Nine Nether spiritual qi, Jiang Li could see that even if he suffered such a blow and his central nervous system was completely destroyed, Ding Chuyi's soul still did not intend to leave his body.
His limbs were still waving in vain as he persevered in attempting to continue attacking Jiang Li.
At this point, even a blind person could tell that something was wrong.
How could this be considered a human?
This situation was much more sinister and strange than zombies and ghosts!
”Elder Situ, aren't you going to explain yourself?”
The Shu Mountain sword cultivators, who had always been the leader of the righteous path and had always flaunted their morals in the human world, also took out the bearing of the number one sect in the Great Mountain Region and questioned the other party first.
However, this time, the Hundred Tempering Mountain did not seem to intend to give face to the number one sect of the region.
”Peak Master Wei, I don't understand what you mean. The disciples under us are sparring normally. What's there to explain?”
Situ Tingxin pretended to be confused. Since he dared use such a method in the ring, he was not afraid of being discovered.
With the size of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, even if there was a little bit of corruption, it would still be ”forgiven” by this world.
”You call this a normal sparring match?”
”You know better than anyone what's going on with your disciples! What's the difference between the Hundred Tempering Mountain and the Demon Sect for doing this to your disciples?”
Elder Wei glared at him, but it was obvious that he, who had not scolded anyone in hundreds of years, was not very good at talking.
His words were not very sharp.
”Peak Master Wei is worrying too much. I also did not expect that there was actually someone secretly cultivating a demonic technique among the disciples.”
”Peak Master Wei and everyone, don't worry. After the competition ends, I'll definitely personally investigate this matter and punish the disciples involved.”
Situ Tingxin obviously knew this well. With just a few words, he pushed the responsibility to his disciples, clearing himself and the sect completely.
”Hmm? What a pity. Looks like that disciple is afraid of the sect's punishment and has already chosen to end his life. Peak Master Wei should be satisfied now, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Chuyi, who was skewered by the wooden spike, swelled up like a balloon.
Without waiting for anyone to react, the ball-like body suddenly exploded!
The blood mist and flesh fragments that carried intense poison instantly enveloped the entire combat ring. Even if he died, this fellow wanted to give Jiang Li another fatal blow!
”Situ Tingxin! You!”
”Hmph! Your Hundred Tempering Mountain better watch out!”
”The challenge has ended. Go save him!”
Peak Master Wei was completely certain that the Hundred Tempering Mountain was stirring up trouble again, but he did not have any evidence on the surface. From his standpoint, it was indeed impossible for him to let his sect and the Hundred Tempering Mountain start a war over such a matter.
Regarding this, all they could do was to get the medical practitioners present to quickly save the participants.
”There's no need for Peak Master Wei to worry about this. You should first take care of your Shu Mountain's matters.”
Situ Tingxin smiled in his heart. His words implied something, and Elder Wei faintly felt that something was off, but he did not probe deeper.
On Jiang Li's side, he was not feeling too good at this moment.
As it turned out, suicide attacks were always the most troublesome type.
This was because the enemy had no reservations and could use everything they had!
Ding Chuyi was only an ordinary disciple at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm. There was a high chance that he was the type who relied on low-grade medicinal pills.
Others were not like Jiang Li who could retain his status forever after eating a medicinal pill.
If an ordinary person wanted to quickly increase their cultivation through those ordinary medicinal pills that were not too expensive, they could only consume large amounts over a long period of time.
However, Jiang Li knew very clearly how troublesome the accumulated pill toxins and other side effects were.
Originally, such an opponent should be someone he could easily destroy. It was impossible for it to cause him any trouble.
However, in reality, Ding Chuyi was only a tool, a medium!
The fact was that Jiang Li was actually going against the alchemists of the Hundred Tempering Mountain.
They used the Five Internal Organs Pill Flame at first and the Fire Poison Blood Sword after getting close to him, and finally the self-destruction of the blood poison. These were all killer moves that the alchemists of the Hundred Tempering Mountain had painstakingly stuffed into Ding Chuyi's body.
Any of these killer moves could easily kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Especially the final self-destruction, the power was truly shocking.
At this moment, in the ring that was covered in blood mist, a huge wooden dragon was coiled on the ring without moving.
However, the Wood Dragon's body was also covered in bumps and bruises. Clearly, it had just been summoned and was used as a shield.
Before the explosion just now, Ding Chuyi's body showed signs of swelling in an extremely short period of time.
Jiang Li, who had not completely let down his guard, immediately reacted.
He used the Demon Awakening Technique to create a wooden dragon and protect himself.
Then, a violent explosion occurred.
The power of that explosion far exceeded the combined energy of a Qi Refinement realm cultivator. Even Jiang Li's Wood Dragon could not completely resist it!
His body hurt a few times.
It was actually a few sharp bone fragments. Under the influence of the self-destruction shock wave, they penetrated the wooden dragon and struck his body.
After the shattered bones collided with Jiang Li, they were directly bounced back to the ground.
However, even though it clearly did not break through his defense, the fierce poison actually penetrated his defense and touched Jiang Li's skin.
Although it was removed in a second by the Cleansing status, Jiang Li still had a Poisoned status that deducted 20 health points per second.
Even with Jiang Li's resistance, he was still poisoned. It could be seen how terrifying the poison attached to the person was.
It was unknown how Ding Chuyi carried this kind of poison previously. If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would have turned into a pool of blood in minutes.
After removing this slightly uncomfortable status, Jiang Li reached out and patted the wooden dragon that was protecting him.
Under the infusion of the Nine Nether spiritual qi, the parts of the Demon Wood Dragon that had already been corroded by the bloody fog quickly regenerated.
Immediately, the ferocious dragon raised its head, opened its mouth, and a gust of cold wind swept out.
This was the Yin Wind Art, Jiang Li had used the wooden dragon's mouth to execute it.
Jiang Li never paid attention to expenditure when he executed his techniques. A surging cold wind constantly blew past the entire arena, and the dense blood mist was blown away into the distance, causing a large area of the surroundings to be corroded.
The constantly dissipating pus and blood fog forced the few medical cultivators who wanted to save him to stay away from the ring, including Senior Sister Qi Yu.
It was not until the elder of the Rejuvenation Hall used the Cloud Rain Technique and waved his hand to create a dark cloud that a partial rain fell on this place that the troublesome blood fog was finally washed away.
The coiled wooden dragon automatically dispersed, revealing Jiang Li who was standing within.
Fortunately, Jiang Li was currently unscathed. Only then did everyone in the Scripture Storage Valley heave a sigh of relief.
