After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

The wind is bleak, and the snow is falling. The jade flute sings with a cold tone.

Miao Yin's flute sound continues.

The azure sky awakens from the bone-chilling cold, and his heart is filled with shock and anger.

This person actually suppressed him with a cultivation level lower than his own.

And he used some sound cultivation methods that he originally looked down upon.

Such a great humiliation, Azure Sky cannot accept it.

His expression becomes serious, obviously taking it seriously.

"Divine Ability·Thunder Pool!"

Above Azure Sky, a dark cloud forms, covering the entire battle area. Within the dark cloud, there are flashes of lightning and occasional thunder.

This is a Divine Ability that combines the techniques of the Tianchi Sect and Thunder Tribulation. Within the Thunder Pool, there is a large amount of thunder, as if it can destroy the heavens and the earth.

The dark cloud hovers above, with thunder constantly falling. Although the intensity of these thunderbolts is greatly weakened here, Miao Yin cannot withstand them head-on.

What's even more ruthless about Azure Sky's move is that the Thunder Pool can descend.

In other words, even if Miao Yin's speed is faster than lightning, she cannot escape the coverage of the Thunder Pool.

This is a wide-range high-damage skill, with nowhere to escape or hide, and even frontal confrontation is impossible.

It can be said that Azure Sky's Divine Ability is enough to determine the outcome. Wenren Li and Jin Ling'er clasp their hands, hoping that Miao Yin will surrender.

This level of Divine Ability spell is simply something they cannot withstand.

However, Miao Yin has no intention of surrendering. She remains fearless, and the flute in her hand does not stop. The music carries a hint of sharpness and killing intent.

"Movement·All Things Dissipate!"

Centered around Miao Yin, a mysterious power accompanies the music and drifts away. The listeners feel as if they are in a cold winter night, with heavy snow covering all living beings. Between heaven and earth, only desolate whiteness remains.

Ice and snow are originally manifestations of coldness, but in Miao Yin's music, what the listeners feel is not coldness, but annihilation.

Just as everyone thought that the ice and snow would engulf everything, suddenly, the music stopped.

Everyone wakes up from their trance and looks towards the battle area.

They see that the previously violent Thunder Pool has disappeared, and Miao Yin and Azure Sky are still standing several zhang apart.

"Elder, I have broken your Divine Ability. Considering that you didn't have the intention to kill me from the beginning, I have also stopped my Divine Ability. This battle should be considered my victory, right?"

Upon hearing Miao Yin's voice, Azure Sky can't help but smile bitterly.

His Thunder Pool has silently dissipated within the music, and he was also immersed in the artistic conception brought by Miao Yin.

If Miao Yin hadn't stopped playing, he might have perished along with the Thunder Pool.

So, Miao Yin's claim that she stopped at the right moment and showed mercy cannot be denied.

Azure Sky knows that he has lost, but he finds it difficult to accept.

After all, he is an elder, yet he overturned here!

Of course, this bloody battlefield was originally meant to close the gap for lower-level cultivators.

Even a Divine Ability cultivator theoretically has a chance to defeat a Transcending Tribulation cultivator.

The upper limit of the abilities that everyone can exert is the Divine Ability, so it can be considered on the same level.

Therefore, it is theoretically acceptable for a big shot to fail here.

But in reality, it's like a high school student and a middle school student participating in the same exam, where the content of the exam is limited to middle school level. Naturally, the high school student's strength is much stronger than the middle school student's. Losing to a middle school student, how can one not lose face?

However, losing is losing. Miao Yin clearly stopped her Divine Ability, and if he doesn't surrender now, he would lose face and dignity.

Azure Sky can only smile bitterly and say, "You, little girl, really surprised me. Well, I admit defeat."

Azure Sky is also helpless. It's not a matter of whether he can win or not, but he simply didn't exert his full strength.

It's like being controlled throughout the entire battle, without any output.

And upon hearing Miao Yin admit defeat, Miao Yin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her Divine Ability was indeed powerful, after all, it was personally taught by the Snow Mountain Goddess. When facing other people's Divine Abilities, it could only be considered a downgrade.

However, everything must follow the basic rules. Her thoughts were not enough to annihilate a peak Transcending Tribulation expert.

She could only make the opponent feel like they were about to be annihilated, but when it truly became dangerous, their instincts would surely awaken them and allow them to escape the intent of annihilation.

So, the so-called "stop when you hit the mark" was actually Miao Yin knowing that it was impossible and giving up in advance.

Others didn't know how strong her Divine Ability really was. What if she really succeeded?

Regardless, from the surface, it was indeed Miao Yin who stopped first, and Bai Kong did not show the ability to counter Miao Yin's Divine Ability.

There was no dispute about the outcome of this match.

More than the victory or defeat, both sides were more concerned about Miao Yin's ability.

Su Mingche was in a daze for a long time and forgot to prepare for the second match. When he snapped out of that mysterious state of enlightenment, his gaze towards Miao Yin was extremely fiery.

"Miss, can you play it again? As long as you play it again, I can admit defeat."

When Su Mingche said this, everyone present frowned.

Originally, turning the sure-win situation into a best-of-three match had already made people secretly wonder if Su Mingche had taken a liking to the beauties on the other side.

And the reason for the best-of-three match could barely be justified, to protect more people, right?

But what was he doing now?

He just didn't want to play anymore?

There were also three Transcending Tribulation peak cultivators in the Heavenly Alliance, whose cultivation and status were slightly lower than Su Mingche's, but not by much.

Most of the time, Su Mingche had the final say here, but it was definitely not a one-man show.

"Old Su, calm down."

The other Transcending Tribulation cultivators from the Heavenly Alliance also had unpleasant expressions, not to mention those from the Heavenly Spring Mountain.

They followed you because there were benefits to be gained by following you. You could guide everyone to obtain more benefits, not because you were the boss here, ignoring others' demands.

Seeing that everyone had an unhappy expression, Su Mingche finally reacted.

He asked in confusion, "Don't you all feel it?"

"What feeling is worth giving up on Black Tortoise City?"

"Her music contains a hidden Dao Rhyme. I feel like I've touched the boundary of the Celestial Human. Don't you all feel it?"

With Su Mingche's words, everyone was shocked.

They finally understood why he seemed to have lost his mind and wanted to admit defeat on behalf of the team just to hear Miao Yin play again.

So it was because Miao Yin's music contained a Dao Rhyme.

But only Su Mingche had comprehended the Dao Rhyme and the boundary of the Celestial Human. The others gained nothing.

If Miao Yin played again, the others might still gain nothing.

In this way, it was equivalent to Su Mingche disregarding their interests for his own benefit.

After hearing Su Mingche's explanation, everyone was shocked, and then they were just displeased.

But Su Mingche didn't notice this atmosphere. All he could think about was the opportunity to break through to the Celestial Human realm. He temporarily neglected the emotions of his companions.

Moreover, in his opinion, the opportunities in Black Tortoise City were uncertain. Whether they could encounter them was still uncertain.

But the music in front of him really gave him that feeling!

Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand.

At this moment, Su Mingche wasn't only thinking about himself. After all, they could all hear Miao Yin's music.

He just overlooked one thing, that everyone's thoughts were different.

Compared to the ethereal music, Black Tortoise City was naturally more reliable.

In how many blood-soaked battlefields, Blood Moon Illusion City has always been the main event. How could they abandon Blood Moon Illusion City just for a song from Miao Yin?

Under normal circumstances, Su Mingche should have been able to perceive that his actions were inappropriate.

With age comes wisdom, and after years of cultivation, one should understand the ways of the world.

However, when a person is attracted by immediate benefits, they often overlook other things, which is also known as a mental obstacle.

A lifetime of mental obstacles, one's fate is determined.

This is also something that cultivators at the Transcending Tribulation Stage need to be careful of.

But if a person falls into a state of confusion, they are rarely able to self-reflect and realize it.

Whether Su Mingche can overcome this First Layer of tribulation depends on his opportunities.

"Old Su, you must be tired and confused. You should know what opportunities there are in Black Tortoise City. If you value this flute-playing woman, just capture her. Why act so weak?"

The first to speak out against it was Xuanxing, also a member of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Before this, Xuanxing had always been the most trusted old comrade of Su Mingche. How could they have gone through blood-soaked battlefields together without enough trust?

But at this moment, Su Mingche was very disappointed.

He couldn't accept that Liu Xing was disrespecting him like this.

Others may not give him face, but he couldn't tolerate it!

People often have higher expectations for their closest friends.

Little did he know, in Xuanxing's eyes, he was doing this for Su Mingche's own good.

Before the conflict escalated, he had already thought of a way out for Su Mingche.

To say that he was momentarily confused and provided a corresponding solution.

Wasn't that already being a good friend?

He couldn't just let go and not participate in the competition for Black Tortoise City, could he?

"Xuanxing, don't you believe in me either?"

"It's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that Black Tortoise City is a common goal for the three families, not just your own affair."

Xuanxing tried to persuade Su Mingche to consider the overall situation and be more clear-headed, but Su Mingche felt wronged.

He saw something good and wanted to share it with everyone, and even if they didn't capture Black Tortoise City, they could go somewhere else, like White Tiger City.

As for Xuanxing's suggestion of forcibly capturing Miao Yin, he thought Xuanxing was simply foolish.

Could those women on the other side be easily provoked?

He thought these people were all young and not worth worrying about.

But even the weakest among them, Miao Yin, was able to easily defeat Bi Kong and use such a magical melody. Could she be forcibly captured?

A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!

Moreover, if they were really forced, would Miao Yin sincerely help play the music?

"Do you think I'm really confused?"

Su Mingche's tone was already tinged with coldness.

"We just hope you will consider it carefully."

The two sides suddenly started arguing without any warning, and Miao Yin and the others immediately turned into bystanders.

Wenren Li also exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. As soon as you made a move, they started fighting among themselves."

Miao Yin shrugged helplessly and said, "Who could have expected this? But be prepared for battle! They could tear up the agreement at any time."

Miao Yin's words were not wrong.

She won the first round, and that was beyond dispute.

But before the second round started, Su Mingche expressed his willingness to concede, and the other side immediately refused to continue.

No matter what the final result of their argument is, they will definitely not easily back down in the end.

The final result will most likely end in a physical confrontation.

Wenren Li and Jin Ling'er also agreed that if they could avoid fighting, they wouldn't want to fight, but if they were forced to, they would have no choice but to fight.

However, with so many people, it would be difficult for them to fight.

"We can't continue to fight to the death, so let's prepare to retreat. If they want to attack Black Tortoise City, we can harass them from the flanks or the rear."

After discussing the strategy, while the other side was still arguing, they quietly retreated, leaving only Zi Mian behind with a puppet.

Su Mingche and Xuan Xing argued until they were red-faced, but in the end, they could only let it go.

Although Su Mingche was unhappy, he had no other choice.

Seeing that Xuan Xing and the others insisted on using force, he angrily said, "Since everyone wants different things, let's part ways here. I don't care what you want to do, but that woman earlier, you can't kill her!"

"Uh, they've already run away."

Bikong reminded them awkwardly.

There was no need to argue, as they had already sensed the danger and fled.

Su Mingche and Xuan Xing's group felt embarrassed.

Young people these days, their actions are really incomprehensible to the older generation.

They had just shown a determined attitude to fight to the death, but now they had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a puppet behind.

Zi Mian left the puppet behind just to deliver a message.

"Since you intend to break the agreement, we won't stay here from now on.

One last advice, don't think about attacking Black Tortoise City!"

Before Zi Mian's puppet finished speaking, its head was blown up.

"Ignore it and hurry into the city!"

Xuan Xing casually struck, destroying the puppet, and then forcefully commanded the team to attack Black Tortoise City.

However, he didn't know that Zi Mian had intentionally poisoned the puppet, sealing the poison mist inside it. With Xuan Xing's attack, the poison mist was released.

High-end poisons are often colorless and odorless, making them difficult to detect.

As everyone passed by the puppet, they finally showed signs of being poisoned.

The poison Zi Mian used was not highly toxic and wouldn't pose a life-threatening danger.

But the less lethal the poison, the more effective it is.

If it were a highly toxic poison, it wouldn't be so easy to succeed.

The big shots still had keen perception.

Powerful poisons would trigger their alertness.

And now, the poison they were affected by only made their muscles slightly weak.

Just as everyone was astonished, countless flying swords descended from the sky. This was Jin Ling'er's Divine Ability, "Myriad Sharp Blades."

Taking advantage of their poisoning, Jin Ling'er threw out hundreds of High-Grade swords from a distance, then remotely detonated all of them.

The violent golden spiritual energy instantly killed the crowd.

Those with advanced cultivation reacted quickly, but those with lower cultivation were basically done for.

They only had about five hundred people in total, and with Jin Ling'er's attack, at least fifty to sixty people died.

The losses were undeniably heavy.

However, this was only the beginning.

Xuan Xing and other Transcending Tribulation powerhouses were ready to pursue, but Jin Ling'er and the others had already disappeared... (End of this chapter)
