Xiao Tianyi possesses the strength of Li Zhengyi, who is half a step below the top grade, and also has his own incantations. Even when facing two second-grade opponents, he can handle the situation calmly.
However, as he was full of confidence, he suddenly felt a slight abnormality in his body. The incantation that seemed to be born with him could not perform its original effect at that moment.
Xiao Tianyi's eyes widened as he stared at the little bean with an expression of disbelief. Just as the venomous insect approached, his entire body was riddled with wounds that cut like blades, and blood oozed out along the gashes.
"What's wrong, why would it be like this..."
Xiao Tianyi retreated several steps in succession, his face filled with terror. Although he possesses the strength of a half-step First-Ranking realm, he dare not have the slightest carelessness when facing the mysterious and incomprehensible witchcraft. Such things, if not taken with caution, even a First-Ranking realm could capsize in a backwater.
Although in his previous life, Li Zhengyi was entirely absorbed in the sword path, in this life, Xiao Tianyi had dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the art of witchcraft and poison. He was well-versed in this field. Yet, after just a moment of inspection and with his spiritual energy flowing through his entire body, he was astonished to discover that his own body had been unknowingly infested with poison insects.
Xiao Tianyi suddenly raised his eyes, looking at the little bean who was also wounded on his body, similar to his own. Memories flashed by, and in a moment, it seemed like he had guessed something. He said, "Yes, those butterflies?"
"Those butterflies just now, were not used to attack me, but to implant the poisonous insects into my body. Are they or aren't they."
Xiao Tianyi seemed to have uncovered a blind spot and quickly opened his mouth to question.
The little bean smiled faintly, "It seems like you're not that stupid... Why did I still attack you mindlessly after seeing your brother suffer from the backlash of your incantation? Don't think I was being irrational, hehe. Everything was just part of my brother's plan. He had long suspected that your incantation might breakthrough the third rank, and with such terrifying strength, if we want to eliminate your incantation, we have to use a pretending injury strategy..."
Damn it, was all of this part of your plan, Chen Mo?
Rage filled Xiao Tianyi's heart as he realized that while he was in the second layer, Chen Mo was actually on the fifth. Chen Mo truly had thought of all possible countermeasures, as he had claimed.
"Using poisons to break curses, I admit your methods are indeed exceptional. But if you think that without curses, I cannot defeat you, then you greatly underestimate me."
Xiao Tianyi snorted coldly. Even if his incantation couldn't be used, he was still the Sword God who was half a step away from the top grade.
Xiao Tianyi flicked his fingers, and the three-foot-long sword that had flown out earlier reappeared in his hand.
Sword God Li Zhengyi had been silent for many years, and with his fingers, he could defeat countless high-level experts. He had never taken Chen Mo and others seriously, but now, he couldn't help but take them seriously.
In the moment he held the sword, Xiao Tianyi felt that the image of that single slash which had pierced the nine states of Zhongshan, was now unstoppable...
Crack!
Xiao Tianyi held the three-foot-long sword high, displaying an air of domination over the entire world. However, before he could say a word to show off, he saw a hole appear on his chest again.
Blood oozed from the wound and his body suddenly froze. Xiao Tianyi's eyes bulged. Just moments ago, he had almost lost his life due to this same thing, and fear began to spread within him.
"Poison insects?"
Xiao Tianyi immediately thought of the poisonous insects that had taken up residence within him. However, after discovering their presence, he had used his spiritual energy to constantly counter them, and they had never been able to harm him.
Moreover, the wound was on his chest, which was clearly a sign of...incantation.
It's Miao Feiyu.
After a brief elimination, Xiao Tianyi remembered the curse master Miao Feiyu, whom he had recruited to his side under various circumstances.
Earlier, due to the failed assassination attempt by Miao Feiyu, Xiao Tianyi had assumed that Chen Mo had killed him using a special method. However, he never expected that the person would actually be turned against him.
"The Tianyan Mountain is in chaos... Ah, now I see why you could turn him against us... Ah, now I understand..."
Xiao Tianyi's mouth was bleeding and his eyes were red. He held the longsword and pointed at Chen Mo from a distance, "Fuck you, who the hell are you? Why do you know everything? Why do you know everything?"
Crack!
Another knife pierces his chest, and with two blood holes appearing, Xiao Tianyi's consciousness began to blur. However, his eyes, filled with blood, stared intently at Chen Mo.
"I am Chen Mo, the Chen Mo you killed three hundred years ago. My identity should be familiar to you. As for why I know everything, do you think I would tell you?"
Chen Mo smiled as he stepped forward, "Xiao Tianyi, now you face another choice. Are you going to abandon Xiao Tianyi, or abandon Li Zhengyi?"
"Fuck you, you..."
As Xiao Tianyi was saying this, he suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat, and the smell of blood filled his nose. He had been slashed across the throat again.
"Brother, did he... die?"
The little beanling retreated and stared at Xiao Tianyi, who was covered in injuries, with his eyes fixed tightly. But he dared not show the slightest slack.
"It's still early."
Chen Mo uttered a sentence in a calm tone, and the next moment, Xiao Tianyi, who had disappeared amidst injuries, abruptly swung his sword. The sword aura emanated from his body and then shot outwards towards ten miles away.
"Damn it"
Chen Mo quickly turned his head towards the direction where the sword aura had gone. That was the location of Miao Feiyu.
"Want to hold me back? Never."
Xiao Tianyi snorted coldly, "I know that Miao Feiyu's curse can indeed kill a person. However, after killing a person, his curse will enter a brief state of dormancy. At this moment, he is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."
This time, Xiao Tianyi abandoned his original identity. In the last moment, this 'Xiao Tianyi' used his own curse to determine Miao Feiyu's location, so without hesitation, he unleashed a burst of sword aura in the instant his strength was restored, flying towards the forest ten miles away.
The purpose was very clear, Miao Feiyu.
"Master, look, that is..."
From ten miles away, in the mountains, the elders of the Kongshan Sect pointed towards the incoming sword aura.
"That sword aura is incredibly strong."
"That, that seems to be the sword aura of a second-grade high-ranking expert. If this sword is directed towards us, even if we join forces, we might not be able to stop it."
"No, this son of a bitch is coming straight for us."
"Master? What should we do? This is too strong for us to handle."
……
The many elders now had a changed expression on their faces, no longer the calm demeanor of moments ago. If they didn't make a decision soon, they might have to leave their lives here.
"Cough cough"
At this moment, lying in a pool of blood, Miao Feiyu struggled to cover his throat which had been slashed open. The fresh blood was flowing back into his body, and his wounds were healing somewhat, but it was still difficult for him to speak.
Facing such a situation, he managed to force out his last word through clenched teeth, "He... wants to kill me..."
