The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 631 - 359: Changtian Makes His Move_2
His expression still appeared nonchalant, but within this tiny slice of heaven and earth, an air of unrivaled dominance and freedom pervaded, as if whatever he desired to do, he could accomplish with ease. In contrast, it was as if she was shackled, as if the weight of Mount Tai was pressing down on her, unspeakably heavy and oppressive.
The air around her had solidified. She found herself without even the strength to wiggle her little finger, and cold sweat immediately broke out on her back.
The terror of this person not only lay in the depth of his cultivation but also in the fact that he did not seem to care about launching a sneak attack from behind! Bai Qing had once directed his killing aura at her but, being principled, refrained from striking again after missing the first hit. But this guy was different! He did not seem to take her seriously, but after she dodged his first sneak attack, this time he deliberately used his "Scenery Follows Heart" ability to restrain her. This person had actually attained the "Domain" level!
Her Mid Wanxiang Stage cultivation was truly like the difference between clouds and mud when compared to his.
But when he stood on the opposite side of Miluo earlier, Changtian had clearly seen that his cultivation had not yet reached the Divine Refining Stage, so how could he skillfully use the "Domain," a Divine Skill available only to those who have passed the test of the Heavenly Tribulation? Could this person be even more demon-like than Bai Qing?
From the corner of her eye, she saw Qi Zai, covered in white feathers, trembling anxiously, but it, too, could not move. She could not possibly dodge this grip no matter what.
In this critical moment, her body hair stood on end, and her Divine Power circulated rapidly through her body for more than a dozen Circulations. The speed was so fast that it caused her meridians to ache faintly, but what did that matter? Each additional circulation of Divine Power loosened the bonds on her body slightly.
Faster, just a bit faster! She roared silently in her heart.
Eventually, her right forefinger twitched lightly.
The Black-clothed Man’s large palm was already reaching out, and the next move would be to grab her scapula. It was at this moment that Tusk silently slid into her hand. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Her right hand flicked upwards at an angle, a very subtle movement. Tusk’s sharp blade, gleaming with the ivory white of midday sun, sprang like a venomous snake whose tail had been stepped on.
If he continued to reach out, he would be delivering the tendons of his own wrist to the blade of Tusk. Given Tusk’s sharpness, a graze that broke through his skin would cause his major artery to spurt blood uncontrollably.
However, Ning Xiaoxian sighed inwardly. It was a pity that this was his Domain, where her movements could not match the quickness she had outside. The Black-clothed Man’s forefinger and thumb flicked, tapping lightly on her blade and deflecting it. His hand continued to move towards her shoulder, only with a deeper interest flickering in his eyes.
She had no desire to be taken away by this man! But what could she do? In this damned Domain, she was like someone stuck in mud; although Divine Power allowed her to move, it was far less nimble than usual. How could she possibly win against such a person?
She glared at him angrily, and transmitted a message with a deafening internal scream: "Changtian, help me!"
The black shadow within God Demon Prison abruptly shifted.
"Relax." Changtian’s voice carried a magic that calmed the soul, and his next words emerged from the bottom of her heart, "Leave everything to me." Then, a boundless and majestic power, an authority of supreme will, descended into her body, taking over control of it.
It was strange indeed; the body was still hers, she could see, hear, smell, but had lost the ability to govern and act autonomously, as if she had become a spectator witnessing the most realistic movie experience. The feeling was truly terrifying, but since she trusted the person currently manipulating her body unconditionally, the arrival of such a formidable will did not make her feel much discomfort.
The power of the Domain could no longer restrain her. She felt "herself" silently cast a few self-serving small divine powers in the nick of time, which were Solid, Giant Strength, and Gale, utilizing them to fortify her body, enhance her own strength, and increase her agility. Had she used these techniques herself, it would take three, two breaths to chant the spells, how could it be as effortless as this? Then, disregarding the enemy hand reaching for her shoulder, she nonchalantly threw Tusk, which flew like a shooting star towards the opponent’s chest.
The distance between the two was merely an arm’s length, yet the speed of Tusk was astonishingly fast; she could not even keep up with its velocity, feeling only a ripple in the air, like a sudden small ripple on a still pond.
As the ripple arose, Tusk had already pierced into the opponent’s chest, steadily embedding into the heart position, like a comet that had shot across the sky without being fully consumed. The act was as fast as lightning, her throw of Tusk silent yet powerful enough to push the Black-clothed Man slightly backwards, and the hand that was to grab her shoulder missed its mark.
A "shick" sound, the blade piercing the heart chamber, yet she did not relax. Seizing the opportunity as the Black-clothed Man leaned back, Tusk still moved silently, aiming at the opponent’s throat. Her left hand flexed to a fist, unceremoniously punching directly below his ribs.
A cultivator’s life force is incredibly tenacious; even if struck in a vital area, as long as the head is not severed, they still have the ability to counterattack. But what about the effects of "Blood Poisoning" attached to Tusk?
Once the dagger penetrated the body, the extremely toxic force of Blood Poisoning was immediately activated. With the Black-clothed Man’s ability, both shocked and angered, he grunted, presumably feeling as if his body was aflame, his blood boiling. Most people would turn the color of a pig’s liver in such circumstances, and he was no exception. The feeling of blood suddenly boiling must be terrifying; when she used this move against Old K Face of Tianlan Courtyard, it directly caused him to collapse on the ground, utterly unable to fight back. Most people would turn the color of a pig’s liver in such circumstances, and he was no exception. (To be continued.
