Chapter 71: Mental Demon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mental Demon!
Miao Chengyang’s heart sank when he realized what was going on. His main cultivation was the Mental Demon Fist, which could attract the Mental Demon to attack the enemy and even control cultivators whose cultivation levels were inferior to his.
However, the Mental Demon Fist had a weakness. Every once in a while, the cultivator would be disturbed by the mental demon.
!!
Once his state of mind wavered, his inner demon would arise.
In the past, Miao Chengyang’s Dao heart was firm and his acute determination was unparalleled. Otherwise, he would not have dared to choose the Mental Demon Fist.
This was also the reason why he had taken the initiative to enter the Dream Sensing Forest’s illusion. Firstly, he wanted to see his younger brother for the last time. Secondly, he wanted to break through the illusion and pass through the Dream Sensing Forest faster.
Who knew that the mental demon would attack at this time?
He took a deep breath and punched the illusion in the head.
Blood splattered as the corpse shattered. The surrounding scenery shattered instantly, revealing its true appearance.
Miao Chengyang looked at the vines that were pouncing on him with a ferocious expression.
In his vision, as these vines pounced over, they quickly transformed into Zheng Jingshan and Pei Ling. Moreover, there were more and more of them. In the blink of an eye, countless Zheng Jingshan and Pei Ling had surrounded him!
Kill!
A voice suddenly sounded in Miao Chengyang’s mind. Then it became louder and louder as it reverberated in his ears.
He forcefully interrupted his thoughts, leaving only one thought in his mind.
It was to destroy everything in front of him!
Miao Chengyang’s eyes were red with anger. He felt that he had an irreconcilable hatred for these figures in front of him.
Even the waters of Three Rivers and Five Lakes could not extinguish it!
In an instant, infinite killing intent rose in his chest.
“Bang!!!”
Miao Chengyang suddenly threw a punch, which created a violent gust of wind. Vines as thick as dozens of arms were broken and sent flying. Blood gurgled from the vines, and the smell of blood filled the air.
The Dream Sensing Forest was injured and became increasingly ferocious. The broken vines quickly sprouted and joined the siege again in an instant.
Between the blood-colored vines, pure white flowers bloomed, one after another.
After the flower buds, countless sharp thorns appeared. As the vines stood upright, they shot towards Miao Chengyang!
For a moment, the spikes rained down crazily. Miao Chengyang let out a long cry, and his fists glowed with a faint black light. At the same time, several witches appeared out of thin air. They glanced coquettishly at him as they danced barefoot.
All the vines that shot at him were blocked by the witches.
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!”
Miao Chengyang’s face was distorted as he threw dozens of punches in one go. The powerful fist force immediately shattered a vine the size of a bucket. In his vision, what he killed with this punch was an illusion of Zheng Jingshan.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill!!!”
Miao Chengyang shouted crazily as he thrusted his fists. The witches danced in a frenzy, shattering all the surrounding vines and flowers!
The broken vines fell to the ground and quickly grew into new vines. Miao Chengyang was powerful and killed the vines speedily. The speed at which the vines regenerated could not keep up with the speed of his punches.
There were fewer and fewer vines, and the surroundings were now filled with witch phantoms. They were charming and their breaths were fragrant like orchids as they surrounded Miao Chengyang. For a moment, the murmur of the Mental Demon Fist echoed throughout the entire Dream Sensing Forest. At this moment, a blooming flower in the forest suddenly withered, and then it bore a huge fruit. The fruit fell to the ground and gradually turned into a youth. It was Miao Cheng’an!
“Boom!!”
Before ‘Miao Cheng’an’ could get close, Miao Chengyang punched him into pieces.
“Kill another one! Zheng Jingshan! Pei Ling! I’ll kill all of you immediately!”
“Boom boom boom…”
After killing for an unknown period of time, Miao Chengyang finally regained consciousness. He turned around and realized that he had already fought his way out of the Dream Sensing Forest.
Mental demon… Miao Chengyang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and could not help but turn ashen.
When he first heard about his younger brother’s death, he thought that with his willpower, even if he was angry and hurt, his Dao heart would not waver.
But after relying on each other for so many years, his brotherly love for Cheng’an was far deeper than he had thought. Unknowingly, his Dao heart was already covered in dust, and he was taken advantage of by his inner demon, causing a crack to appear.
If not for the Dream Sensing Forest, Miao Chengyang would not have realized that his inner demon had long taken hold of him and was quietly brewing.
He turned around and looked at the blood-colored waterfall behind him. The anger in his eyes gradually disappeared, revealing grief that was no longer concealed. “Cheng’an… Don’t worry, I’m still your older brother. Nothing has changed. Whoever hurts you-no matter their status, cultivation, or background-must pay the price!”
As Miao Chengyang spoke, he did not stay any longer. His eyes were bloodshot as he continued to chase after the bloody footprints in his vision.
When he realized that Ouyang Xianxing and the others were heading to the Yin-Yang Basin, he could not help but sneer. His entire body turned into a dream-like phantom.
The path that Ouyang Xianxing and the others had to pass through carefully was no different from the main path for Miao Chengyang.
Even when he passed through the narrow ridge with cliffs on both sides, he did not pause.
In a flash, Miao Chengyang passed through this dangerous place.
Then he stopped in his tracks.
This was because the bloody footprints that were originally clear in his vision became messy and then disappeared on the opposite side.
Have I been discovered? Miao Chengyang frowned. He did not care about Xue Ying’s life or death, but he did not want to miss this opportunity to kill Pei Ling with his own hands. Therefore, after confirming that he could no longer track him through the bloody footprints, he immediately jumped onto a nearby rock and looked around to determine the whereabouts of Ouyang Xianxing and the others.
Although the paths in the Gu Abyss were varied, the more important places, such as the Dream Sensing Forest and the Yin-Yang Basin, would not change much.
The place where the Cold Marrow Fire was born would also be near a similar terrain.
Among them, Ouyang Xianxing’s cultivation level is the highest, but she’s only at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Soon, Miao Chengyang had a plan. In the southeast, anyone below the Core Formation realm will definitely die if they approach the Tomb of Myriad Gu. I can eliminate them directly. In the south, although the danger level is slightly lower, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can barely protect himself.
After eliminating similar danger spots, he finally deduced three possible locations. … The Secluded Mushroom Cave in the southwest, the Skeletal Crane Swamp, and the Insect Mountain in the east.
It takes a long time to absorb the Cold Marrow Fire into my body. With my escape technique, I can check out the three locations, one by one.
Pei Ling, you little bastard, you can’t escape!
With that, his figure flashed as he sped towards Insect Mountain.
At this moment, in a corner of the Skeletal Crane Swamp, large and small skeletal cranes lay dead on the ground. The surroundings were silent. Ouyang Xianxing stepped on a tall crane skeleton. She looked down from above and supervised Xue Ying’s formation with a cold expression.
Xue Ying’s face was pale, and he looked resentful. However, the faintly discernible Bone Flower behind him forced him to grit his teeth and make hand seals with the array flags that he had refined in advance.
The array flags sank into the swamp, emitting an extremely faint sound. They surrounded a cluster of distant light blue flames.
Seeing that the trapping array was about to be completed, Ouyang Xianxing turned to Pei Ling and said, “After the array is activated, the Cold Marrow Fire can’t escape. I’ll enter and capture it before handing it to you to refine. The process of absorbing the fire into your body is very painful, but you have to endure it. Otherwise, all of Branch Master’s efforts will be in vain, understand?”
Pei Ling accepted the advice respectfully. In the end, he remembered something and asked softly, “Oh right, Senior Sister, how do I… absorb this fire into my body? Should I swallow it directly?”
Ouyang Xianxing and Fang Ji were stunned.
Even Xue Ying, who was unwilling to set up the array in the distance, trembled.
“You don’t even know the Fire Receiving Art?!” Fang Ji was the first to shout. He was already very dissatisfied with Pei Ling, and at this moment, he exploded. “Senior Sister, what kind of joke is this?! If he doesn’t know the Fire Receiving Art, why did we bring him here?”
