Mortal: The Number One playboy of the Chaotic Star Sea

Chapter 182 Extreme Yin and Mysterious Bone

Delving into the best of Xianxia novels,

The bearded man crossed his fists, and golden light shone brightly on his gauntlets as he unleashed the full power of his Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art.

Wan Tianming roared and transformed into a streak of purple lightning, rushing forward.

However, when the sword was about three zhang away from the bearded man, it suddenly veered off course and slashed fiercely at—Extreme Yin.

"What?! Oh no!"

Extreme Yin's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of crisis struck.

On the left, the bearded man's fists, which should have been aimed at Wan Tianming, were instead redirected and headed straight for Ji Yin's back.

On the right, Qing Yi's lips curled up, and he suddenly unfolded the bamboo scroll in his hand. Dozens of Qingming needles transformed into invisible green light, piercing towards Ji Yin's vital points like a rain of pear blossoms.

The three-way attack was perfectly timed and from a particularly tricky angle.

"Damn it! I've been tricked!"

The thought flashed through Ji Yin's mind like lightning.

From the standoff between Barbarian Beard and Wan Tianming in front of the altar to the three of them launching a combined attack... it was all a setup!

A deadly trap specifically set for him, a trap designed to kill him.

They're all in cahoots!

"ah--!"

With a roar, Ji Yin's demonic energy exploded, and the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire burst forth from his body.

But all of this was ultimately too rushed.

Wan Tianming's purple-gold longsword struck first, followed by Manhuzi's fist landing solidly on Jiyin's back.

At the same instant, Qingyi's Qingming Needle pierced into Jiyin's waist and abdomen.

Faced with the combined attack of three Nascent Soul cultivators, Ji Yin was instantly severely injured.

"puff--!"

Ji Yin spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire he had condensed in his hand, which instantly transformed into a pale white pillar of fire that blasted straight at Wan Tianming.

The Nascent Soul cultivator's near-death counterattack forced Wan Tianming to retreat rapidly.

"boom!"

The Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire exploded where Wan Tianming had originally stood, scattering pale flames everywhere.

Wan Tianming's retreat gave Ji Yin a glimmer of hope.

"I will burn my lifeblood to survive!"

Ji Yin's eyes were bloodshot, and she spat out another clump of blood essence.

He rapidly formed hand seals, sacrificing his lifespan to gain extreme speed over short distances.

Ji Yin's figure transformed into a blood-red afterimage, passing through the stone gate before anyone could fully react.

"I'll go after them!"

The bearded man put away his mutated three-eyed spirit leopard and transformed into a streak of light to give chase.

Qingyi put away the bamboo slip in his hand and retreated to Qingfeng's side.

"The Xuan Bone Puppet has already been handed over to Barbarian Beard."

Qingyi transmitted his voice to Qingfeng.

"Well, now we just have to wait for the Star Palace to enter."

Qingfeng hid behind Qingyi, watching the Void Heaven Cauldron slowly ascend.

The silver moon is coming out soon.

at the same time--

The blood-red afterimage formed from extreme Yin rapidly swept across the stone corridor outside the Cold Li Terrace and fled towards the Void Heaven Tower.

His injuries were far more serious than they appeared.

"puff!"

Ji Yin spat out another mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

Sensing the rapidly approaching aura behind him, Ji Yin dared not slow down in the slightest.

"Wild Beard... Wan Tianming... Qingyi!"

Ji Yin repeated these three names in her heart, her hatred surging.

"How dare you conspire to frame me... Once I recover from my injuries, I will repay you a hundredfold!"

Ji Yin made a poisonous vow in his heart, and his figure had already passed through the last stone door and entered the fourth floor of the Void Tower.

He is now seriously injured, and if he continues to flee, he will definitely be caught up by the bearded man behind him.

The fourth level of the Void Tower has many restrictions and a complex terrain, which can block divine sense from probing, making it one of the few places where one can temporarily hide.

"As long as I temporarily avoid the barbarian, and I find a stone door to enter, I can be teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace."

Damn it... if the injuries aren't controlled soon, my body will collapse.

Ji Yin gritted his teeth and forced himself to activate a concealment technique from the "Mysterious Yin Manual".

It is a most ingenious way to preserve one's life, allowing one to blend one's aura and temperature into the surrounding environment like a corpse.

Unless the caster reveals themselves, even a cultivator of a higher level would find it difficult to see through.

Ji Yin stopped, his hands forming a hand seal, and his body was enveloped in Xuan Yin demonic energy. Then, his figure gradually blurred, merging into the shadows within the tower.

Almost at the same moment that Ji Yin completed his concealment, Man Hu Zi's figure appeared at the entrance to the fourth floor of the Void Tower.

"They hid inside the tower? They really ran fast."

The bearded man frowned, and his divine sense was blocked by the restriction.

"That traitor is seriously injured. The secret technique he just used has already burned a lot of his essence and blood. If he continues to consume his source, his physical body will surely collapse."

We'll first activate the magic array we left behind to block the exit to the third floor, and then slowly search the fourth floor.

The methods of concealment and hiding that he knows are all things I've used before.

At this moment, Xuan Gu, who was hiding in the box, transmitted his voice.

He knew the Yin too well; given the traitor's injuries, there was no way he could have escaped very far.

"Yes, you have a point."

With a wave of his hand, the bearded man summoned a puppet.

Then the Xuan Bone flew out of the box and entered the puppet's body.

"Oh, you extremely yin, you think you can hide from me just because you're hiding?"

Xuan Gu moved the puppet's body, opened its mouth and spat out an array plate, then began to control it.

As the array plate rotated, the hidden trapping array that Qingfeng had previously set up on the third and fourth floors was activated.

"Brother Man, once we find that traitor, please help me keep watch. I want to personally cleanse this sect and capture his Nascent Soul."

Xuan Gu asked.

"No problem, the feud between you and your master must be settled naturally."

"Look at the strange puppet," said the bearded man.

No matter how many times he looked at this puppet, he couldn't help but marvel.

It has an ordinary appearance and its movements appear extremely slow, even clumsy. With each step, its torso sways slightly.

But beneath this deceptively deceptive appearance, after fusing with the Xuan Bone, it possesses strength no less than that of an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"That traitor couldn't have gone far; he must be hiding in this area. Brother Man, you go first, and I'll follow behind."

The secret techniques used by Ji Yin are mostly the Corpse Transformation Technique from the "Mysterious Yin Manual," which allows them to conceal themselves in their surroundings like an inanimate object.

"If you destroy these buildings around here, I'll be able to find him."

Xuan Gu said confidently.

"Okay, I'm best at causing destruction."

The bearded man grinned, revealing a sinister smile.

He took a deep breath, and his Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art was pushed to its limit, causing his body to swell dramatically in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a golden giant thirty or forty feet tall.

"Extreme Yin, I see you! Get out here right now!"

The bearded man's voice was as loud as a bell, making the surrounding walls vibrate.

He raised a giant, golden hand and slammed it down on a row of ancient stone pillars in front of him.

"boom--!"

The stone pillar shattered with a crash, sending countless fragments of stone flying in all directions.

However, the materials used in the ancient architecture on the fourth floor of the Void Tower are indeed extraordinary.

If the bearded man's palm strike had landed on the outside world, it would have been enough to level a small mountain, but when it landed on these ancient stone pillars, it only shattered them.

"It's quite sturdy!"

The bearded man snorted coldly and unleashed both palms, smashing them against the surrounding buildings like a storm.

"This barbarian...is he insane?! He's relentlessly hunting me down!"

Hidden in the shadows, Ji Yin watched as the bearded man transformed into a golden giant and wreaked havoc on the surroundings, cursing inwardly.

He couldn't understand why he had been tricked by the bearded man and Wan Tianming.

Judging from the way the bearded man was chasing after them relentlessly, there was clearly another reason.

"This barbarian was just bluffing me... He didn't even notice me."

"As long as the treasure appears inside the Void Cauldron, he will definitely go back to fight for it. Then I will have a chance to escape..."

The extreme yin suppressed the injury and continued to remain hidden in place.
