Xia Chen perked up and stood up, wanting to count the loot.
During this trip to the ancient treasures, he had a real bumper harvest and obtained countless treasures. Although most of them were temporarily unusable, even if only one could be used, it would be enough to defy the odds.
Suddenly, Xia Chen's mind froze, and he felt a sense of trance, as if he had forgotten something important.
He was stunned for a long time, and then he remembered that he should have been holding the jade slip obtained from the ancient collection, and had not put the jade slip into the cornucopia at that time.
But now, he is empty-handed!
Xia Chen was startled and quickly raised his palms, his eyes immediately showing an unbelievable look of horror!
He saw that the jade slip was still in his palm, but it was deeply sunk into his palm. Its surface was flush with the skin of his palm. It was still sinking slowly, and it was about to completely enter his palm.
The whole process was silent, and strangely, Xia Chen didn't feel anything at all.
Xia Chen's face changed drastically, his palms shook, his true energy aroused, and he wanted to force the jade slip out. Although he didn't know if there was any abnormality, no matter what kind of thing entered the body, it didn't mean it was a good thing.
A strange scene happened. Forced by his true energy, the jade slip suddenly turned into bits of broken light, burst into pieces, and dissipated invisible.
A red ball of light that was only the size of a pigeon egg appeared from the jade slip, followed the arm, and rushed towards the body at a high speed. Along the way, it was unobstructed. All the true energy collided with the ball of light and instantly dissipated.
Xia Chen only felt numbness in his arms and could not move. This was a big surprise!
What the hell is this! He thought in a panic, and all the powerful Qi of the acquired sixth level was instantly concentrated on his arm, trying to prevent the intrusion of the red ball of light.
But the red ball of light turned a blind eye to the surging infuriating energy, and instead accelerated its speed. The red light suddenly blazed like a blade going upstream, crushing all the infuriating energy and scattering it!
Xia Chen's face turned pale, and his true energy suddenly condensed into various powerful attack shapes in his meridians.
Knives, spears, swords, halberds... they even turned into thousands of tiny Qi needles, stabbing hard at the blood-red ball of light. After breaking through the sixth level of acquired life, Xia Chen's Qi control also rose to an even more terrifying level.
Such powerful Qi control power cannot be achieved even by the Tenth Level of Houtian.
"The mantis is blocking the car and is vulnerable!" Suddenly, the red ball of light issued a contemptuous tone, stirring in Xia Chen's mind.
As the voice came out, the countless weapon attacks made of true energy disappeared instantly. Xia Chen's chest felt as if he was hit hard by a big hammer, his mind was violently shaken, and with a bang, he leaned hard against the big tree.
The red ball of light did not stop, extending upward along his arm. In the blink of an eye, it entered the body from the arm and went straight to his mind.
"Who are you?" Xia Chen's face changed drastically. He tried his best, but could not stop the red ball of light at all, and was horrified.
"Have you forgotten me so quickly? You ant, it seems that your memory is not very good. Have you forgotten my instructions?" The red ball of light said slowly. Its speed suddenly slowed down, and its voice became much clearer.
.
Xia Chen suddenly felt chills all over his body. This voice was so familiar... he said in a trembling voice, "Are you Lie Yunzi?"
"Yes, I am Lie Yunzi. I should thank you. If you hadn't been holding me in your hands to heal my injuries and stimulate my true energy, I'm afraid my spiritual mind would not have woken up so quickly." The red light ball was faint.
road.
Xia Chen's heart suddenly paused. He had always thought that Lie Yunzi had been dead for many years, but he never expected that this terrifying magical monk still had spiritual thoughts.
"Aren't you already dead? Why are you still..." Xia Chen's heart roared, and his mind became a mess.
Xia Chen leaned against the big tree, with most of his body out of control and unable to move at all. Lie Yunzi's spiritual thoughts seemed to send out a strange force, tightly imprisoning him.
"I have indeed passed away, but my spiritual thoughts have been preserved by using heaven-defying secrets. Otherwise, why would I distribute the treasure keys and let people come to my cave to collect the treasures? Do you think I will be so kind as to collect the treasures that I have worked hard all my life to collect?"
I give this treasured skill to you, a group of ants? Who are you to me? Why do you get benefits?" Lie Yunzi sneered.
Xia Chen's face was stiff, and he suddenly understood: "You deliberately released the treasure key to attract the monks, so that you can use your spiritual thoughts to seize the body!"
"Clever!" Lie Yunzi chuckled, "You also heard it in the jade slip. I have been practicing for more than three hundred years, but I have never been able to break through the shackles of the magical realm and live forever. Fortunately, I accidentally practiced the secret method of defying the heavens, and I can keep it temporarily.
All the spiritual thoughts are just to be able to seize the body and practice again!"
When he said this, his tone suddenly became sinister and cruel. The red ball of light sped up, like a sharp red needle, suddenly inserted into Xia Chen's mind.
"Ah!" Xia Chen screamed wildly, blood spurting out of his mouth. For a moment, he felt as if his head was being stabbed in half, as if it was about to cease to exist. The pain was indescribable.
What Lie Yunzi stabbed was his mind, and the damage to his mind was far more serious than the physical injuries.
"I originally thought that a magical monk would come." Lie Yunzi said coldly, "Who would have thought that a bunch of insignificant shrimps would come instead? Forget it, I don't have time to wait anymore, so I'll just make do with your body!"
The red ball of light suddenly brightened, and an extremely powerful force of spiritual thought forcefully squeezed into Xia Chen's mind, crushing his consciousness into pieces.
Although Xia Chen couldn't move, his face turned blue and his lips turned purple as if he was lacking oxygen. His eyes were completely dark and he could no longer see anything. Blood lines were flowing out of each of his seven orifices.
Deep in his consciousness, an infinitely tall old man's figure had a cold smile on his face, as if an extremely heavy mountain was slowly pressing down. Just looking at that figure would give rise to a feeling of powerlessness and despair.
"Does it feel good to have your body taken away from you? Haha." Lie Yunzi said with a ferocious smile, "I really want to know how you feel now? Don't worry, I won't end the body snatching so quickly. I will take this process slowly.
Savoring the pain of the people I tortured and killed is the happiest thing in my life!"
Xia Chen's body suddenly trembled violently. His eyes, which were bleeding, had been closed, but suddenly opened again. In the depths of his pupils, there were crazy flames burning.
Lie Yunzi showed a cruel smile: "I didn't expect that your will to resist is quite strong, but it is all in vain. In front of the magical monks, you have no chance, and the more you resist, the more excited I will be when I kill you.
You will see with your own eyes that your soul and spirit are wiped out by my spiritual thoughts. Although your body still exists, it is no longer you, but me. Of course, it is an honor for you, an ant, to be taken away by me.
!”
Xia Chen trembled even more violently, trying desperately to make a move, but could not break through Lie Yunzi's imprisonment.
In the world of his consciousness, he could only see the ferocious face of Lie Yunzi, which was getting bigger and bigger. Then it became darker and darker, and his consciousness became more and more numb. It seemed that his soul was about to leave his body and disappear forever in the world.
Is it going to disappear silently like this? No! Absolutely impossible!
"Lieyunzi, I would rather die than let you take away my life!" Xia Chen suddenly shouted loudly, and blood kept flowing down from his eyes, turning into countless tears of blood.
The powerful belief erupted like a mountain torrent. Xia Chen didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly broke free from the confinement. A bit of sky-splitting sharpness suddenly appeared from his fingertips, and he wiped it towards his throat.
He would rather die than let the enemy have an easy time! Xia Chen's spiritual will has almost condensed into substance, which is stronger than ever.
"What? You, an ant, can still move under my confinement?" In his mind, Lie Yunzi's face changed, and then returned to normal, "I really underestimated you, but it's useless, under my control
It's impossible for you to die even if you want to, and your will is so strong, it will be very interesting to torture you."
A blazing red light suddenly bloomed in the spiritual thoughts again, and in the blink of an eye, the power of imprisonment increased several times.
Xia Chen's hand froze immediately, and even stopped shaking. The hatred in his eyes was so strong, but he couldn't even make a sound.
Lie Yunzi not only imprisoned his body, but also imprisoned his mind. Xia Chen even stopped thinking, and everything was at the mercy of Lie Yunzi.
"Ant, you really excite me. You have such a strong will. I have never seen you in practice for so many years. Unfortunately, if you were not my target, I might be interested in taking you as my disciple. But now, you
Just wipe it out in ashes!" Lie Yunzi said coldly, his heavy figure pressed down again.
He could definitely kill Xia Chen instantly, but he only deliberately increased his strength little by little, watching Xia Chen's consciousness slowly become shattered under the heavy pressure.
Xia Chen remained motionless, his mind was controlled, and his eyes became extremely hollow. Only in the depths of his pupils, there was an indescribable spark beating slowly.
No one knows what Xia Chen is thinking, or maybe he is not thinking about anything at all.
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in Xia Chen's body, as if something was shattering.
Deep inside his body, tendons, muscle fibers, bones, and even blood vessels and nerves suddenly developed fine cracks, and then began to collapse and be damaged!
Lie Yunzi's ferocious and excited expression froze on his face, and he roared: "Damn ant, how dare you destroy your body!"
Self-destruction of the body is the ultimate method for monks to commit suicide, mainly to avoid the pain that is worse than death. However, self-destruction of the body must be pushed to the extreme, and most monks cannot do this.
The self-destruction quickly extended from the inside to the outside. Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of Xia Chen's skin, and they continued to expand. It was like a lifelike porcelain sculpture that was destroyed from the inside and then appeared on the outside.
superior.
As the cracks unfolded, Xia Chen's skin gradually lost its luster, began to turn dark yellow, loose, and then slowly decomposed.
All the internal organs were making the sound of exhaustion, and the vitality was rapidly passing away.
