It was supposed to be a full moon night, but because of the strong wind, the clouds spread and the mist covered half of the moon, it looked like something was missing.
Tiandu City, City Lord's Mansion, Dungeon.
Early on, more than a dozen jailers were sent to guard the dungeon, just because the Lord of Tiandu City was going to use the soul-stirring technique on Ling Xiao tonight, and there was no room for error.
The skills of these jailers were all inferior. In the view of Tiandu City Lord, guarding a Ling Xiao whose true energy was scattered was enough. He never thought that Ling Xiao could escape. He was just being cautious.
As everyone knows, Ling Xiao's body is already full of true energy, and only one of the eight extraordinary meridians has yet to be opened. The remaining seven meridians have all been opened under the powerful effect of Qingyuan Technique.
The twelve main meridians are even more consistent with the eight extraordinary meridians that run through it. The true energy rushes through like a river, constantly impacting those blocked meridians.
The twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians are the easiest to open up, because they were opened up by Ling Xiao with his true energy every time when he practiced Qigong. They are broad and tough, but the opposite is true for some small meridians.
Those small meridians connect the four poles and nine orifices, and run through the perineum. They are themselves connected to many fatal points, and they are much more fragile than the main meridians, so Ling Xiao does not dare to touch them, so he has to retreat.
Secondly, first open up the main meridians in the body. After all, time is running out.
At this time, nearly half of the meridians in Ling Xiao's body had been restored by the miraculous effect of the Qing Yuan Technique. The true energy in his Dantian was not even 50% of what it was in its heyday, but it was enough for Ling Xiao to cope with the coming situation.
Because, although this soul-stirring technique is cunning and cunning, it has a weakness that everyone knows!
That is, at the moment when the caster performs the spell, due to the characteristics of soul-stirring spells, the whole body's energy is exhausted and he will be extremely weak in an instant!
It can be said that everyone knows this, because the name of this soul-stirring technique is so great that most warriors have heard of it, although most people sneer at this statement.
"What I have to do is to injure the Lord of Tiandu City the moment he displays his Soul Capturing Technique. This is my only chance!"
It was just a momentary opportunity, which could be said to be extremely rare for Ling Xiao. If he did not dodge in time, he might be hit by Tiandu City Lord's soul-stirring technique. Therefore, Ling Xiao could only be cautious and cautious, and kept thinking in his heart.
Be aware of situations that may occur so that you will not be unable to deal with them when the time comes.
In Ling Xiao's body, true energy surged, and under the control of Qing Yuan Shu, it rushed towards the last tightened meridian.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Extremely subtle sounds continued to come from Ling Xiao's body. It was Ling Xiao who was opening up the last of the eight extraordinary meridians.
Within the perception, it was like thunder from the sky, rumbling.
"Not even close!"
At this time, in Ling Xiao's body, the last of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Yin Qi Meridian, is close to being connected, and there is only one final step left. The true energy in Ling Xiao's body is so weak that Ling Xiao's meridians have not been completely relieved.
blockade.
"Gather it for me!"
Knowing that time was running out, Ling Xiao quickly kneaded the true energy in his body into a ball, turned it into an iron drill, and opened up the meridians.
"Click!"
With a soft sound, the twelve main meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians in Ling Xiao's body were all unblocked. For a moment, the true energy in the body was unobstructed. The vitality gathered in the meridians and turned into true energy, flowing endlessly in the meridians.
"Now that the main meridians in my body have been unblocked, if I seize the opportunity, I may not be able to escape."
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed.
At this time, there were only a few meridians left in Ling Xiao's body that were not unblocked and were still blocked. However, under this situation, Ling Xiao had no choice but to ignore him and find another opportunity to attack.
At this moment, a burst of chaotic footsteps came. Ling Xiao knew that the city lord might arrive one day, so he quickly suppressed his breath and did not reveal anything.
"How about it? Are you planning to beg me to tell you?"
Before anyone arrived, a voice came over first. There was a bit of ridicule in the rich voice, as if he wanted to say that Ling Xiao didn't know how to praise.
Ling Xiao just gave him a cold look and said coldly: "It's already this time, why are you so nagging?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became extremely cold, and several jailers behind Tiandu City Lord shuddered.
However, the Lord of Tiandu City still smiled and said: "Yes, hurry up, I can't wait, Qiankun Compass, hahaha!"
"It's such a pity that you have such aptitude for practicing martial arts." Changing the subject, the Lord of Tiandu City said calmly. "However, the most indispensable thing in this world is genius!"
Then, the Lord of Tiandu City turned around, waved his hand at the jailers, and said, "Take them out!"
"yes!"
Several jailers sang a promise, then stepped forward and untied the chains that tightly locked Ling Xiao. Then the two jailors who untied the chains, one on each side, turned over Ling Xiao's arms and suppressed them tightly.
.
Ling Xiao pretended that he had not yet regained his strength, but stumbled and looked at the Lord of Tiandu City again.
When the Lord of Tiandu City saw Ling Xiao's appearance, he left with an even more arrogant expression. He burst into laughter and insulted and ridiculed Ling Xiao with words as he walked.
Ling Xiao didn't listen to what he was saying at all, but the true energy in his body was dormant, like a lurking dragon, fearing that the Lord of Tiandu City would notice that he had regained his strength.
The Tiandu City Lord's own strength is not weaker than Ling Xiao's, even more so. If Ling Xiao is at his peak, he will naturally not be afraid of a battle, but at this moment, the true energy in Ling Xiao's body has only recovered.
Only half of them, and because some meridians are still locked, the skills cannot operate smoothly, and the strength has dropped a lot.
As a result, Ling Xiao is simply not good enough to compete with the current Tiandu City Lord, not to mention that at this important moment, the Tiandu City Lord's state must have reached its peak.
"I don't know where they are going to take me." While suppressing his breath, Ling Xiao thought about the current situation so that he could make changes at any time.
The Lord of Tiandu City is definitely an old fox. Ling Xiao doesn't think that he is not paying attention to him. At this time, he is probably closely sensing his every move. As long as he makes any rash move, he will take action against him in an instant.
Not long after, Ling Xiao was escorted to a place similar to an altar, with a wooden frame on it!
"Tie him up!"
The jailer who was holding Ling Xiao down quickly arrived and said yes.
These jailers were very nimble with their hands and feet. Not long after, Ling Xiao was tied to the wooden frame. This time, a rope was used. After all, Tiandu City Lord did not think that Ling Xiao could break free.
"Hehehe, now that everything is in order, let's get started!"
I don't know whether it is because of Tiandu City Lord's nature or because he is too excited, but Tiandu City Lord's voice sounds slightly distorted at this moment.
At this time, high in the sky, the black clouds covering the full moon were blown away by a sudden strong wind, slowly revealing the true appearance of the full moon behind it.
In the city lord's palace, the Tiandu city lord had a strange look on his face, and he was muttering something unknown in his mouth. He stared at Ling Xiao's eyes, slowly revealing a strange power.
Spirituality!
I saw a strange atmosphere rising around me, and the aura of Tiandu City Lord became more and more mysterious.
A burst of clear light suddenly swayed down, and the bright moon in the sky finally revealed its true appearance.
Under the moonlight, the Lord of Tiandu City uttered an obscure melody from his mouth, and then slowly uttered the word "hundred soul".
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The bright moon, people, and the weird atmosphere formed a strange picture.
The next moment!
The true energy in Lingxiao's Dantian suddenly began to circulate, flowing through the limbs and bones, and the three yin meridians of the hands and the three yang meridians of the hands were filled with great power, as if blessed by supreme divine power.
"Crack!"
Just as a crisp sound was heard, the hand that broke the rope was already filled with powerful true energy, and a powerful blast of energy condensed directly on the fist!
"Drink!" Ling Xiao roared.
The fist instantly cut through the air and reached directly in front of Tiandu City Lord.
The pale-faced Tiandu City Lord's eyes were full of horror. He had never expected such a change. In his opinion, it should be successful, but what he didn't expect was that the true energy in Ling Xiao's body had already recovered.
Got it!
However, before the Lord of Tiandu City could regret it, Ling Xiao's fist had already arrived in front of him.
"I...I don't want to die yet!"
The Tiandu City Lord had a look of disbelief on his face. He seemed to have never expected that Ling Xiao would recover so quickly. He could no longer dodge. He mobilized the true energy in his body to escape from the fist in front of him.
However, the price of using the soul-obsessing technique is extremely high, not to mention that the soul-deceiving technique will backfire due to the failure of the execution.
At this moment, the Tiandu City Lord's body was completely empty. Where was the true energy? With just this stupid effort, he could not avoid it.
A strong wind suddenly blew by, blowing up Ling Xiao's long hair. Ling Xiao looked at the bright moon above his head. He didn't pay attention to the begging for mercy from the city lord that day, and punched down with his fist!
"Boom!"
With a crash, the Lord of Tiandu City was immediately killed on the spot, and his body was thrown back with a powerful force and hit the wall, making another tooth-piercing and bone-cracking sound.
Ling Xiao didn't look, because he knew that with this punch, the meridians and internal organs of Tiandu City Lord had been shattered, leaving only a body.
From the moment the Lord of Tiandu used the soul-stirring secret technique to when Ling Xiao broke free from the rope and then directly killed the Lord of Tiandu on the spot, it only took a moment.
The horror on the faces of the jailers had not faded yet, Ling Xiao's ghostly steps appeared beside them in an instant and touched their necks.
"Click!"
The sound of broken neck bones sounded almost at the same time. Half of the jailers on the scene were already dead. The rest only reacted and screamed to escape. But how could Ling Xiao let them go?
The Ghost Step was launched again, and with a few more crisp sounds, the jailers also fell to Ling Xiao's hands.
At this time, the real energy in Ling Xiao's body was too thin to fight for a long time, for fear of damaging the blocked meridians, so Ling Xiao did not stay for a long time, but carefully sensed the location of the thunder gun, and then moved towards the study.
Jump everywhere.
Not long after, Ling Xiao found his Qiankun Ring in a secret box in the study of the Lord of Tiandu City. The Qiankun Compass, the Qiankun Diagram, and the Thunder Gun were placed aside. Ling Xiao looked at the Qiankun Diagram in his hand.
He didn't dare to act rashly anymore, but instead put it into the Qiankun Ring.
After taking the things back, Ling Xiao quietly fled out of the city. Based on his memory when he came, he found a secluded cave outside the city, and then stopped to rest.
