Molizhi Tian was desperately supporting himself in the Dutean Fiery Array, shattering the forms of three giant pigs. He had no choice but to combine his form and essence back into one, turning into a giant pig with a size similar to a small house, charging recklessly within the array.
The fire giant chased the pigs like herding them, surrounding and blocking their way. The twelve giants pursued them from east to west, then chased them northward.
In the end, there was a trend for the twelve fire giants to merge into one, but Dengchan Yuhui interrupted this process. The use of her magic was too great, and she didn't want to create another Number 2 Huoyu again.
Deng Chanyu did not unleash her ultimate move, but even so, Molizhi Tian was trapped with no way out, and seemed destined to be caught and destroyed by the fire giants. Just as she was about to fall, she suddenly noticed a bright light door appearing ahead of her, from which a young and handsome man emerged.
She had a hunch that it was a trap, but at this moment, even if it was a trap, there was no time to worry about it.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" The giant pigs spoke in human language, although with a bit of an accent, Hong Jin still understood them.
What is this thing? A pig demon?
After being in the Qiankun Cauldron for such a long time, Hong Jin's mind had inevitably been partially assimilated by this top-grade primordial spiritual treasure, and his reaction speed was half a beat slower than usual. By the time he wanted to explain, Molizhi Tian had already charged up to him.
Molizhi Tian's Daoxing was far higher than Hong Jin's. Now in the state of combining form and essence, endless blood sea's savage qi surged up, unchecked, Molizhi Tian opened its great mouth and bit off half of Hong Jin's head with one bite. Then it used its teeth and sucked its huge mouth inward, swallowing half of his body.
Hong Jin died in a serene manner.
However, his soul was not at peace.
Suddenly, his soul transformed into nourishment, a slender wisp of smoke forming slowly within it, as fine as a single hair. Hong Jin's resentment before his death was infused into his soul, undergoing continuous transformation. Finally, it condensed into a black arrow.
The small arrow was straightly embedded in Molizhi Tian's three souls and seven spirits. The giant pig, relying on its momentum, charged into the cage where Hong Jin had been, then rolled around in place, transforming back into the Black Beauty. But this time, she was filled with pain, her face resembling porcelain that was covered with cracks resembling a spider web.
Molizhi Tian had already been severely injured before, and now her soul had suffered even greater damage. Despite her status as an Immortal, the situation was dire.
Molizhi Tian reached up and dug out an eye from her face, swallowing it down. The cracks that covered her entire body were temporarily suppressed, and she wearily panted heavily.
"Hmm? Is Hong Jin really that ineffective?"
Dengchan Yuhui shook the Qiankun Cauldron three times, sensing that Hong Jin's life breath had disappeared. She found a nearby water pool and released both Hong Jin's body and Molizhi Tian.
Hong Jin was left with only half a body, and Molizhi Tian had no life breath.
Deng ChanYu was very aware of what had transpired in the blink of an eye. She hadn't expected that Hong Jin's soul would be hiding a spell-killer method similar to the 'Seven Arrows from a Nail Head' scroll, impressive! No wonder he was the Resentful and Vengeful Elder Grandcestor of the Kunpeng.
She left the responsibility to the Yumen Blood Sea and went back to help Huang FeiHuo.
Huang Feihuo resolved the battle even faster than her side, she was fighting the 18th Daimo, arranging an array, and strategizing Molizhi Tian, which took up a lot of her time.
Which Zha Cha, in line with the traditional of Xīqī, shot an arrow at Zhang Kuī without hesitation. When this official from Yan Prefecture prepared to use his familiar technique of "Traveling on the Ground" again, Huang Tianhua used the "Transforming Land into Steel" spell beforehand, making the ground as hard as iron and impossible to penetrate. Huang Feihuo then shot a spear, and with his loyal servant the Unicorn Dragon by his side, it saved him by blocking one arrow with its body. Just as Zhang Kuī was about to run away, Huang Tianhua sacrificed his Treasure Earth-Shattering Cauldron and crushed him and his horse together.
The main army took a rest in Ganshi for a day before heading to Linrong Pass, where they joined Huang Feihuo's father Wang laoge. The wang laoge did not meet up with the Huang lords.
As soon as Deng Chan Yu left, Molizhi Tian, who had been pretending to be dead, opened his eyes.
In the Blood Sea, pretending to be dead and counterattacks are all essential skills.
Molizhi Tian didn't understand why Deng Chan Yu didn't give her a few more cuts, and the agony in her soul prevented her from thinking clearly.
Her body once again appeared with web-like black cracks. She bit down hard, tearing off the entire left pig face from her three-headed, eight-armed, nine-eyed form and swallowing it whole. She sacrificed a third of her Dao practice to suppress the injury, and then stumbled away from the scene.
Deng Chan Yu's actions were not deceptive enough to fool the Saint, but they were more than enough to deceive the Kunpeng.
Not more than a quarter of an hour after Molizhi Tian left, a middle-aged man with a beaked nose, dressed in a water-blue robe, and with an untamed demeanor, arrived at the scene.
Upon seeing Hong Jin's body, half-devoured by Molizhi Tian, the Kunpeng was extremely angry. The dense blood sea aura at the scene was like challenging him!
Saints I cannot provoke, how can I provoke even the underworld river?
The Kunpeng transformed into a wisp of smoke to pursue Molizhi Tian.
Keep going a bit more, keep going a bit more! Molizhi Tian has little more energy to fly, and she falls into a mortal village.
As an Immortal, she also has some premonitions of danger, knowing that she could fall at any moment. She bursts out all her potential in her flight.
"Alas, alas."
Suddenly, an old man with tangled hair, holding a bamboo pole, and barefoot, was watching her.
Molizhi Tian, in a heartfelt gesture, fell to her knees and pleaded, "Please save me, kind sir!"
The Kunpeng's hidden hand in Hong Jin's soul was too malicious. Now her divine abilities and forms are shattered, her Immortal realm has plummeted, and she is about to revert to a True Immortal.
The old man calmly said, "You are destined to face this calamity. Although your karma is weighing on you today, there is still a chance for survival. Alright, alright, I will help you today and tie this cause with you. Do you want to join my Western Paradise?"
The original old man radiated brilliant gold light. Once the light faded, a tall, bald man with a broad face and large ears, looking dignified and auspicious, appeared. He held a 'Seven-Treasures Miraculous Tree'.
Of course, one should live if there's a chance. Molizhi Tian hurriedly kowtowed, "Disciple pays respects to the Teacher."
"My name is Chenputi. I will teach you the Heart Sutra. Recite it daily to accumulate blessings, fortify the foundation, and make up for your shortcomings. With this, you may reach the other shore sooner."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Chenputi took Molizhi Tian away.
The Kunpeng's methods were insignificant to the Saint, but he didn't intervene either. Instead, he watched the curse destroy all the blood sea power within Molizhi Tian's body, sending her plummeting to the mortal realm. With the Heart Sutra as his lifeline, Molizhi Tian became a mortal and then turned to Buddhist cultivation techniques.
"Thank you, Senior sister for your favor." Chenputi's thread of spiritual thought directly reached the Palace of Huaxia.
Nu Wa nodded and said casually, "These blood sea disciples are too heavy with violence. Re-training and rebuilding their cultivation is a good idea. However, this girl has insufficient innate talent. It's up to her teacher to teach her carefully."
Chenputi was particularly polite: "I will follow the teachings of my elder sister."
