One strike!
All the defensive talismans on Hong Qing’s body collapsed, and the immense force directly transmitted to him, causing Hong Qing to be sent flying.
Before he could land, the second green wood struck again. Once the formation was formed, the seven green wood flags would transform into countless giant green woods. The collision was just the most basic method. Mi Xiaojing was annoyed by the disrespectful words of the other party, so he used the most clumsy attack.
Although this attack was clumsy, its power was extremely terrifying. It was a head-on collision. If it were a Foundation Establishment stage expert who was surrounded, Mi Xiaojing would definitely not use this move. However, Hong Qing’s cultivation level was not enough, so he absolutely couldn’t withstand the impact of the green wood.
Continuous collisions, all in mid-air, Hong Qing had nowhere to hide, and he was directly hit and spat out blood.
Spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, at this point, he still persisted in activating the talismans, otherwise he would be even more unable to bear it. Moreover, he didn’t dare to use the magical sword to resist. After seven or eight consecutive collisions, he couldn’t help but use the magical sword, attempting to shatter the green wood. However, the quality of the two was too different, and the magical sword couldn’t even leave a trace on the green wood before being shattered by it.
Suddenly, the swirling green wood paused and no longer continued to attack. In an instant, Hong Qing fell from the sky like a rag.
With a miserable scream, Hong Qing lay on the ground, gasping heavily, with blood foam in his mouth. He understood in his heart that he had really hit a wall this time.
Hong Qing deeply regretted it. If he had attacked directly from the beginning and killed the other party, not giving Mi Xiaojing a chance to release the banner formation, maybe he would still have a chance to win. But because he wanted to capture the opponent alive and obtain Mi Xiaojing’s alchemy techniques and secrets, he fell into this situation due to his greed.
Ever since he heard that Mi Xiaojing could refine spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage, Hong Qing had been preparing. However, he didn’t expect that the Elder Yu Hong would actually give his separate courtyard to Mi Xiaojing, which disrupted his plans. It was not until the Vast Gold Sect attacked the sect that the entire sect fell into chaos, and he believed that the opportunity had finally come.
Due to the sudden change, Hong Qing didn’t think much and directly used a very crude method to lure Mi Xiaojing out, intending to forcefully capture him and then take him to a hidden place. He believed that with his methods, even if Mi Xiaojing was made of steel, he would still submit and reveal all the secrets of alchemy. As long as he mastered these alchemy secrets, Hong Qing believed that even if the sect’s ancestors found out it was him, they wouldn’t kill him. As long as he could refine spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage, he believed that the elders would definitely value him and give him the treatment intended for Mi Xiaojing. At that time, even Chen Shouyi would not be his opponent, because he would have the upper hand.
All these beautiful plans turned into nothing after Mi Xiaojing released the green wood banner formation. Not to mention capturing and interrogating Mi Xiaojing, he might not even be able to save his own life. He was truly panicked this time.
“Let’s talk… Junior Brother, you can’t do this! You can’t kill me!”
At this moment, Mi Xiaojing was full of contempt for Hong Qing. He couldn’t believe that there were such shameless people in this world. Originally, his intention to kill was not strong, but under the instigation of Wang Weijun, it grew stronger. However, upon hearing Hong Qing’s words, his intention to kill became even stronger. Leaving this person alive would definitely be a disaster.
Kill!
Mi Xiaojing couldn’t help but shout loudly, and the magical technique in his hand changed. The entire green wood formation erupted completely.
The green woods collided with each other, and strands of flames were generated in the collision. Drops of flames fell down, as if it was raining fire.
Hong Qing finally couldn’t resist anymore. His face turned pale, and he slapped his storage bag, summoning a puppet into his hand.
When the puppet appeared, Hong Qing’s face completely twisted. This was an extremely precious puppet. No one in the sect knew that he had this treasure. If it was discovered by the sect’s elders, he would not be able to keep it.
This thing was not an item from the cultivation world, but a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect.
The Mantra Substitute Puppet!
Even in the Evolutionary Sect, it was an extremely rare treasure. No one knew where he got it from.
After his refinement, this puppet could activate spells with the magical technique, and its spells had the effect of a mantra. The four-word spell was “You die, I live!”
This spell was different from what cultivators used. It was a very clear four-word spell, somewhat resembling a mantra.
“You die, I live!”
That voice was filled with despair, and even Mi Xiaojing was stunned. It was extremely similar to a mantra, because mantras carried strong emotional colors, and these four words were the same. Mi Xiaojing was shocked and said, “Mantra?”
In an instant, the puppet suddenly grew in size, with mantras swirling on it, completely enveloping Hong Qing. The mantras erupted, instantly blocking the rain of fire.
Mi Xiaojing confirmed that this was indeed a treasure of the Evolutionary Sect, but he didn’t recognize what it was. Even though he grew up in the Evolutionary Sect, he didn’t know many things about Evolutionary Immortality. The knowledge he currently obtained about Evolutionary Immortality was from the Ten Thousand Word Mantra Banner, but it was still not enough.
Mi Xiaojing didn’t understand, but it didn’t mean that Wang Weijun didn’t understand. “Huh! The Mantra Substitute Puppet! How does he have this treasure!” He couldn’t help but feel frustrated. If he had this treasure back then, he wouldn’t have been surrounded and killed, and he would have been able to escape long ago.
“What’s a Mantra Substitute Puppet?”
“You used to be from the Evolutionary Sect, and you don’t know this?”
“Of course I don’t know!”
He answered confidently. Mi Xiaojing was curious and asked, “What is a Mantra Substitute Puppet?” He then used a magical technique, causing the flames to gather and burn on the puppet, while Hong Qing stared fixedly at the direction where Mi Xiaojing was.
“You brat… I won’t let you off! Wait until I break free this time, I will kill you! Rest assured, I won’t let you go!”
That voice was like a wolf’s howl, sounding chilling.Wang Weijun said, “The Death Substitute Doll… a peculiar item from the Evolutionary Sect. It can replace its master’s death once, usually used in life-or-death situations. It can only be used once, after which the doll will completely disappear… This thing is very famous, well-known throughout the Cultivation World. You’ve actually never heard of it, you’re really ignorant.”
“Ah, it’s that powerful? Can you refine it?”
“Pah! Only those from the Evolutionary Sect who practice Evolutionary Immortality can refine such a thing. How could I refine it? Stop talking nonsense. If I could refine such a thing, I wouldn’t have died… Damn it, this little guy actually has such a treasure. But, he must hate you to death now, having used up the doll, hehe, that’s equivalent to a life!”
Seeing that Hong Qing was still in the doll, surrounded by raging flames, he couldn’t be touched at all. Even if Xiaojing increased the power of the formation again, he still couldn’t do anything to him.
