Exorcism

"Just for a head?" Zhou Qi couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it, couldn't believe it, looked past the strange-shaped slime shell, stared at Mu Xingqiu's eyes, and asked again, "Just for a head?"

"His name is Mu Songxuan. He comes from Yelin Town and is my best friend. Mu Xingqiu gently took back the bald man and held it on his chest. Under the pull of the two suction forces, he could not remove the various colors in the mucus shell. Returning it to the bald man's head, we can only try to keep the outer shell unbroken.

The reason why Bald Man can survive to this day is because of the integration of various powers. The lack of any one of them may have fatal effects, especially the drop of water in the sword washing pond. Without it, Bald Man may have been unable to wake up long ago.

Mu Xingqiu must leave everything intact.

Zhou Qi didn't change much on the surface, and his smooth beard fluttered slightly, without any mess. In fact, he was concentrating all his efforts on fighting against the jade ax in his hand, trying every means to get out of trouble. Although he knew that the more he resisted, the faster his mana would be lost, but he didn't. There are other options. This is a process that cannot be stopped once started. The inner alchemy is no longer completely under his control.

"Let's each take a step back. You take back your soul. I'll take Bingkui away and give up the first pivot position of the Star Shifting Formation." Zhou Qi's tone was still majestic, as if this was not a suggestion, but an order that no one dared to refuse.

Shen Shang had difficulty opening his mouth, and shouted in a muffled voice: "Who loses and wins in this fight?"

"It's a draw. We'll have to fight again if we have the chance." Zhou Qi refused to admit defeat after all.

Mu Xingqiu's expression was not as calm as that of the Taoist priest. He had to use his own suction to ease the suction in the jade axe, and also use part of his strength to protect the bald man and Shen Shang. However, he could no longer remain calm. At this moment, both of his hands were His eyebrows were erect, his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were bulging, and the blue veins were clearly visible, giving him a strange look of being at the end of his strength.

"Do you think I can stop the soul?" Mu Xingqiu could speak, but he gritted his teeth unconsciously.

Zhou Qi did not answer, and glanced into the distance. The snow had stopped, but there were dark clouds rolling around. The snow on the ground and the trees were emitting light brown gas. These were unclean gases, and even they were affected by the soul. The attraction continues to flow towards Jade Ax. Deep in the forest, several ice beasts hidden in them exploded one after another, and the sound shook a large amount of snow. The beasts in the distance roared in terror, and the birds flapped their wings and made inexplicable whines. They had no soul-interesting power in their bodies, but I was frightened by the visions around me.

The power generated by the Amber Taoist Priest's soul and the water of the sword-washing pool was far beyond Zhou Qi's imagination, and the fear he had never experienced in his life shrouded him like a dark cloud above his head.

Being possessed by the devil enhanced his power and caused him to lose his peaceful heart as a Taoist priest.

"You can stop your soul because you don't want to die." Zhou Qi's eyes fell on Mu Xingqiu's face again, and his voice became firm again, "Even at this time, you still want to protect your head and the Taoist priest behind you... …”

"Hey, my name is Shen Shang, a bloodline of the Taoist Shen family!" Shen Shang's voice became increasingly vague and could only be heard clearly. He had controlled the inner alchemy from the beginning, and the suction force he received was relatively small, but if he continued like this If it goes down, sooner or later the inner alchemy will be driven by the suction force to accelerate its rotation.

Zhou Qi was not interrupted and continued, "You don't want to die yourself, I can see it, so why waste your time? If you insist on this false reputation, fine, I admit defeat, you defeated a Concentrator Taoist priest, Nian Xin Ke has created another miracle.”

The unclean aura gathered more and more, shrouding Mu Xingqiu and the others, like a dark brown giant beast sleeping soundly in the dark night, its body as huge as a hill rising and falling.

Mu Xingqiu's left eye has returned to an ordinary third eye. With the help of the magical power of the Taoist demon that permeates his body, his vision is still better than that of ordinary Taoist priests. He can see the slightly frightened Taoist priest in the midst of a cloud of unclean air. face.

"There is only one way to stop the soul." Mu Xingqiu said word by word.

"Tell me, what can I do?" Zhou Qi could no longer pretend to be calm. Fear had entered his flesh and bones and could no longer be driven away.

Mu Xingqiu said nothing and just stared at Zhou Qi. There was only one way to stop the soul, but that was not something Zhou Qi could accept.

Zhou Qi looked confused, his Taoist robes were blown up by the wind, and his beard was floating like a ball of waterweed. Suddenly he burst into laughter. Zhou Qi has been practicing for more than a thousand years and has hundreds of times more knowledge than Mu Xingqiu. However, once he is frightened and confused, his reaction is not as good as that of a young Taoist priest. But he finally figured it out now. ơɱ

Even without reminder, he would have figured it out.

"The soul is a void thing and must rely on real things to generate suction. It used to be amber condensed by magic power, but now it is a jade axe. Once the jade ax is broken, the suction force will disappear... No, the ordinary jade ax weapon should have been used long ago. It's broken, but this jade ax is integrated with the sword-washing pool and will not be damaged no matter how much power is absorbed. This is a dead end."

"Well, that's a dead end." Mu Xingqiu's face could be said to be ferocious, but his voice was extremely calm, as if he had made an understandable and common mistake.

"You're playing tricks on me!" Zhou Qi's fear was compounded by anger.

"I'm only thinking about how to defeat you, but I'm not in the mood to tease you." Mu Xingqiu said calmly.

"You don't think about the consequences, aren't you afraid of risking your own life?" Zhou Qi became more angry, and the mana in his body was drained faster. The inner alchemy was spinning out of control, faster than a top whipped by a whip. If this continues, the inner elixir will lose its power after a while and will never be restored.

For Taoist priests, this means that the elixir will destroy people and destroy them.

Mu Xingqiu remained silent, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Zhou Qi's statement.

Zhou Qi still didn't believe it. He had seen Taoist priests face death calmly, and he had seen monsters who would not hesitate to commit suicide and kill in order to gain a little bit of pitiful power. But no one would choose to fight when there is still a way out. Mu Xingqiu can definitely Not willing to fight, he hid within the range of the Dou Zhuanxing Shifting Formation, relying on his stubborn fists and body to show off his strength.

Zhou Qi glanced at the head in the mucus again. The sleeping head was too dull to look like a living thing. "Don't you even want to save the head? You have already avenged me for him, don't you want him to live?"

"He lives and dies with me."

Mu Xingqiu was not a reckless person who did not care about life and death, but he was not a high-level Taoist priest who knew what was happening. He originally thought that he could defeat Zhou Qi with the water of the sword washing pool, but when he found that he could not, he summoned the soul of Marquis Meng Yuan, step by step. , he just made a necessary choice when he had no other choice.

At this moment, he still held on to a little hope. Although Zhou Qi didn't believe it, he still insisted on generating suction to compete with the increasingly powerful souls, while still protecting the bald man on his chest and Shen Shang behind him.

He believed that the bald man would understand what he was doing, and Shen Shang's laughter showed that he understood.

Zhou Qi finally understood that if he wanted to live, he had to find a way on his own. He had lived for more than a thousand years, was proficient in Taoist traditions and a large number of demon spells, and had read countless books. He forced himself to calm down and search in his memory. Way to escape.

Amber Taoist priests are rare in the world, and uncontrolled Amber Taoist priests are even more unique. Zhou Qi couldn't find a direct way to crack it, so he could only slowly deduce it.

"With the help of the sword-washing pool, the jade ax has become a powerful magic weapon, but after all, it is just an ordinary jade ax and cannot carry unlimited power... Mu Xingqiu, you are a living person, why is the suction power not as powerful as the soul? ?”

"Because I don't want to become Amber Taoist Priest." Mu Xingqiu did not dare to use all his strength. Once all his will was used to generate suction, he would lose control of himself and become a thoughtless Amber who could no longer do anything. wake. This was how Meng Yuanhou died unknowingly back then. His original purpose was probably to use this method to eliminate the demon clan occupying the Old Ancestor Peak. However, it turned out to be used by the giant demon king and became a powerful demon weapon against the Taoist order. .

Mu Xingqiu could not make the same mistake again. If he turned into an Amber Taoist priest at this moment to offset the suction of the soul, the only person who would survive and benefit would be Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi wanted to smile, but the muscles on his face refused to work, but what appeared was a twisted and strange face, "Do you want to wait until I die and then turn into an amber Taoist priest so that you can save your head?"

Mu Xingqiu was surprised that a Taoist priest who focused on the spirit could be so ignorant because of fear, "If I become an Amber Taoist priest, I can't tell the difference between ourselves and the enemy. I will continue to generate suction and kill both Mu Songxuan and Shen Shang." ”

"Hmm..." Shen Shang's voice couldn't even be heard clearly by himself.

Zhou Qi's inner elixir was spinning faster and faster, almost bursting out of his belly. The unclean air around him had turned from dark clouds into a violent whirlwind, scrambling to enter the jade axe.

The jade ax is no longer than a foot long and looks extremely weak. However, under the strengthening of the water in the sword washing pool, it continuously absorbs power without any change in itself.

Zhou Qi once eagerly snatched it away, but now he was holding it in his hand and couldn't shake it off.

"Qi Wushang once controlled Taoist Amber. How did he do it?" Zhou Qi still refused to give up.

"Qi Wushang uses a large demon formation. Neither you nor I know how to do it. There isn't that much demon blood here." Mu Xingqiu stared at Zhou Qi unblinkingly, observing his every change and paying attention. The Shinto priest is approaching his end, and black smoke is emitting from his body, which is the product of the combination of mana and unclean air.

Fear caused Zhou Qi to lose his calmness, and it also made him wake up at the last moment. He finally read some information from Mu Xingqiu's eyes, "You want to use my power to fill the jade axe, and then... then you take the opportunity to break it." Jade ax!”

Only the divine Taoist priests have enough mana to make the jade ax unbearable. This is Mu Xingqiu's plan, "I will try." He will wait for the moment when all Zhou Qi's mana is absorbed before pouring out his power. , making Jade Ax unbearable. As for whether this plan can succeed - all adventures cannot be guaranteed, especially for Mu Xingqiu.

For Mu Xingqiu who has suction power, he will always last longer than Zhou Qi who simply loses his magic power.

Even when he was the most frightened and angry, Zhou Qi would not lose his composure like ordinary people. "What a great idea!" He poured his emotions into his thunderous voice, "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let me help you. A handful.”

Zhou Qi has been controlling the inner alchemy, but now he has changed his mind. He wants to indulge the inner alchemy and turn it as fast as he can. He should have done this a long time ago. In that case, he might be able to break the jade axe by giving up half of his body practice, but now he has to fight It is possible to escape with all your strength.

But it doesn't matter. Zhou Qi believes that he still has a chance to live. As for this little Taoist priest and his companions who are desperate for life, Zhou Qi really wants to take the opportunity to "help" and send them to jump into the abyss of death.

Mu Xingqiu is also ready. Who wins, who loses, who dies, who lives, all depends on who can seize that subtle, critical opportunity.
