Chapter 510: Vanish Mind Smoke
Sigma Hitesh
Shi Yan strode into the forest, while Bei Si and the others were frightened. They stood dumbstruck, not knowing what the young man was thinking.
The opponent hidden in the forest should have his preparation done. At first glance at the gray cloud above the place, the Third Sky of Spirit Realm Cultivation base, and the advantageous position their opponent had readied into, they knew the result of this battle even before it happened.
What was he thinking? Sacrificing himself for the others?
Bei Si, Bing Qing Tong, and Shuang Yu Zhu couldn鈥檛 figure out the reason why Shi Yan didn鈥檛 wait until that guy came out to fight with him outside. He shouldn鈥檛 have entered the enemy鈥檚 territory. Wasn鈥檛 it suicide?
"You should stay away. Get out of here as fast as possible. Take the road around the White Emperor, and never stop midway." Bing Qing Tong was bewildered for three seconds. After that, she woke up immediately, turning around and advising Bing Qiang鈥檚 group, asking them to dash.
The possibility to win this fight was tiny. Even if she didn鈥檛 go there for Shi Yan, she needed to check if Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing were alright. They were her sisters. They could be unkind, but she couldn鈥檛 betray her upright justice. She still remembered the last words of her adoptive mother when she asked her to be the big sister and take care of her younger sisters.
"You know the location of the Banner family? You should go there for shelter. Tell them I told you to. I鈥檒l send the message. My brother will protect you girls..." Bei Si frowned. "...not only because of the relationship with the Ice Emperor City, but also the favor that kid did to us. You should keep in mind that I鈥檓 involved in this mess because of Shi Yan..."
"Thank you."
Bing Qing Tong slightly bent her body and thanked the other with a sincere expression. Her face switched to the cold visage immediately when she turned to Bing Qing鈥檚 group. "Why you鈥檙e still there? GO!"
Bing Qiang and the others weren鈥檛 idiotic. They knew that they couldn鈥檛 help by staying here. On the contrary, they could hold the others back. The group of these young maidens put on a determined face and took the road around the city, fleeing away at their fastest speed.
Waiting until their adopted daughters disappeared, Bing Qing Tong took a deep breath and then jumped into the forest, with Shuang Yu Zhu following behind her.
Bei Si stayed behind alone. He hesitated for a while and then sighed, made up his mind and then jumped into the forest.
Inside the thick forest, the dark cloud covered the sky, letting no beam of sunlight pierce through. The place was strangely tranquil. All beasts had hidden away, and the ambiance was bizarre.
A giant, extremely ugly toad was sitting on a dry dune, keeping its bulging eyes open while looking forward. Its body was swollen with bubbles, as disgusting liquid oozed out from the pimples on its entire body. At first glance, everyone knew that this was an extremely toxic animal.
Yu Li Ming was smiling fiendishly while sitting on the toad. His face was sinister, his eyes rolling, giving people a dizzy feeling that they couldn鈥檛 focus well.
Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing stood next to the toad, each taking a side. They wore a begging face, bending their head lower and not showing anything from their countenance.
Both of them understood that even if they won this battle, they couldn鈥檛 keep their purity and had to stay with that old man. Yu Li Ming was obscene, but his threat was so frightening when he said that even if they died, he wouldn鈥檛 spare their dead bodies. Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing had no possible plan, so they had to make their plan at each step.
Quite on the contrary, Shi Yan was calm as usual. He was like he was taking a walk in the forest. He strolled to the toad, squinted, and then lifted his head to look at Yu Li Ming, "Are you that old dog?"
"Your mouth makes people hate you. Soon, I will shove poison down your throat. Taste the poison, kid. Haha." Yu Li Ming grinned continually. The old man didn鈥檛 hurry to take action and kill the kid instantly. He needed to wait for Bing Qing Tong and Shuang Yu Zhu to come in.
Indeed, not long after that, the two noble, elegant women came.
Yu Li Ming鈥檚 lewd eyes brightened, as he couldn鈥檛 help but laugh out loud, clapping his hands. "Good, good... It鈥檚 worth my time this time. I didn鈥檛 expect that the four snowflakes of the Ice Emperor City will belong to me today. My trip is interesting, indeed."
"What do you want?"
Bing Qing Tong鈥檚 face was cold. Her aura was elegant but her complexion was as cold as steel and ice, "The Ice Emperor City鈥檚 one of the members of the Fighting Union. If you have to guts to fight us, the Fighting Union won鈥檛 let you go!"
"The Fighting Union鈥檚 excellent. Too bad, I鈥檓 all alone, and I don鈥檛 have a permanent residence. If the Fighting Union wants to kill me, it has to find me first. Haha, you say, would I give the Fighting Union that chance?" Yu Li Ming shook his head and faked a sigh. "Women are always women. You鈥檙e so na茂ve that make people love you. But don鈥檛 worry, I鈥檓 kind. I won鈥檛 kill you. Of course, the premise is that you have to please me. Haha, as long as I鈥檓 pleased, anything can be discussed."
Bing Qing Tong didn鈥檛 want to talk more. She knew that threating was no use to this old man. She kept silent, looking at Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing.
Under her look, Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing were panicked and disorderly. They didn鈥檛 dare to confront her gaze as they felt shame inside.
At this moment, Bei Si arrived as well. At first glance, he said with a darkened face. "Well, turns out you鈥檙e the distinguished guest of the Ning family. I remember that Ning Du Quan had fought with you in the Miasma Cloud Wetland. Although both of you practice the poisonous technique, you aren鈥檛 his match. You guys had a tied result, and then you started to stay in the Miasma Could Wetland. Is that you?"
"Who are you?" Yu Li Ming squinted, coldly assessing Bei Si.
"Bei Si of the Banners."
"Bei Si..."
Yu Li Ming鈥檚 eyes flickered. His heart dreaded as his visage didn鈥檛 look as natural as usual. Then, the old man closed his eyes, releasing his Soul Consciousness.
The Miasma Cloud Wetland and the White Emperor City weren鈥檛 far from each other. He had heard about Bei Si and his brother before, and he understood well the power of their Combined Assault Technique that could defeat the Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors. Anyway, even if Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui had the Second Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base, they didn鈥檛 know the Combine Assault Technique. That comforted his mind a bit.
But, if they were the two Banner brothers, it would be different. Once this duo joined hands, they would become a force that could threaten him seriously. He had to be careful.
As his Soul Consciousness was released, he could sense things around hundreds of li. Suddenly, Yu Li Ming smiled, "Well, turns out you鈥檙e Bei Si of the Banners. Not bad, fella. Anyway, too bad that it鈥檚 only you here. If your brother were here too, this old man would be afraid. Well, since you got only yourself here, haha, don鈥檛 do things that can make you lose your face."
Bei Si just laughed, and didn鈥檛 answer him.
The reason why he came here was just to see if he could have a chance to rescue Shi Yan in time. He didn鈥檛 want to risk his life against Yu Li Ming. If the situation turned to be the extreme, at least, he could leave the scene alone safely. He had this confidence. Thus, he was just standing there to watch the play with an indifferent complexion.
"You have nothing to do with this. I鈥檓 not interested in risking my life against you Banners. If you leave now, I won鈥檛 be bothered."
As Yu Li Ming saw Bei Si鈥檚 idle calm, he was secretly alert, since he didn鈥檛 know what the other had. Thus, the poisonous man didn鈥檛 want to mess with Bei Si.
"I鈥檝e passed here by chance. Well, I just want to see your deeds. I don鈥檛 want to interfere. You can do what you want. I鈥檓 just standing here and watching. Ignore me if you will." Bei Si smiled and took a step backward, indicating that he wasn鈥檛 going to get involved.
Yu Li Ming smiled coldly, "Harrumph!" He used his Soul Consciousness to sense again. This time, he confirmed that he could find only Bei Si here. The old man nodded, "You should be honest. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I鈥檓 not showing any mercy."
"Why you鈥檙e talking so much?" Shi Yan said with an impatient countenance, urging him. "Old dog, are you done yet?"
Yu Li Ming put on a ferocious face, grinned to his ears and jumped off his toad all of a sudden. He opened his mouth and spurted a purple beam of light, shooting toward the horizon.
The gray cloud covering the forest got hit, and it seemed that the purple light had dissolved some barrier in there. Dew started to drip down from the clouds. Each drop of this kind of dew seemed to contain poison, piercing through the leaves and peeling off the barks. The atmosphere quieted down immediately.
"It鈥檚 toxic!"
Bing Qing Tong let out a low shout. Light rippled out from her jade-white hand as the Ice stone sparkled, expanding from her hand to defend against the poisonous dew.
Shuang Yu Zhu acted the same. She activated her Ice Jade Technique, and snowflakes fluttered, covering her appealing body.
Bei Si was calm, lifting his head to look at the gray-ash cloud. A ruthless aura emitted from his body, creating an invisible shield and separating the poisonous water.
Shi Yan urged his Dark Light Shield.
Dot Dot Dot!
When the toxic dew hit his Dark Light Shield, the shield he had condensed from his Profound Qi was soon eroded. The toxic dew then turned into poisonous gray steam, meandering in the air. The negative feelings deep inside his heart started to stir, expanding along with that poison, discreetly affecting his soul and spirit. This generated the evil thought of destroying all creatures in his head.
"Not good!"
Shaking inside, Shi Yan suddenly reacted. Although this water could erode things, it wasn鈥檛 its best feature. The poisonous water diffused the smoke, with was the main killing weapon.
He hadn鈥檛 touched anything and the toxic hadn鈥檛 got to his body through his skin yet. But still, it could stir up the evil thought in his mind. The toxic smoke could enter his soul and spirit!
"My Vanish Mind Smoke aims for the spirit and soul. It can draw the evil things in your hearts. As long as you have seven emotions and six desires, you will lose your mind sooner or later. Sinister intentions will be born, and in the end, I will seize your mind. Except for the True God Realm warriors who have the divine soul, all creatures will be affected."
Yu Li Ming laughed contentedly, "I can also use the secret technique to rouse any desire of your seven emotions and six desires to the acme. It will enable you to do things you don鈥檛 even dare to think about it in daily life. Interesting, huh? Haha... I want to see you get aroused to the peak. The more you resist, the stronger the backlash is. Taste it."
As he finished, it seemed a strong Soul Consciousness Intent Domain was poured into the gray mist. Under this sort of Intent Domain, the Vanish Mind Smoke gained some mysterious energies as it could stir up the passion concealed at the bottom of people鈥檚 hearts.
"Seems like I have to subdue you sooner."
Shi Yan took a deep breath and grinned fiendishly. His finger stroked the Blood Vein Ring, sending through his thought.
