C1 Attacks on qin lie
To the east was a vast and boundless ocean, and to the northwest was a group of surrounding mountains. The high mountains in the sky were towering and majestic, and various races of living beings were refining themselves with the spirit energy that was present everywhere on this road called East Wasteland, chasing after the ultimate mysteries of heaven and earth.
In the early morning, a group of thirteen people hastily made their way through the sea of trees and forests to the north of Misty Cloud City. In the depths of the Arctic Mountain Range, there were also quite a few spiritual herbs and Demon Beast s that were active, but their level was very high and very few people dared to go there alone.
These people were all foster sons of the Demon Suppressing King Palace, and they were all in the Body Refining Stage Realm, and weren't older than sixteen years old. Three days later, the Demon Suppressing King Palace would hold the Family Competition. In order to forge a frost sword for the Demon Suppressing King's daughter, Xia Chu Lan, they would need to collect many high grade spirit materials and the Ice Soul Cold Python's beast core.
And at the very back of the group, was the youth that Demon Suppressing King had brought back ten years ago when he was suppressing his Demon Clan, Qin Lie. His facial features were sharp, and his expression was cold. However, he had a pair of spirited, elf-like eyes.
After everyone split apart along the edge of the Arctic Mountain Range, Qin Lie then headed towards the southeast region. He had once heard the Kung Fu Hall Protectors in the manor mention that the Ice Soul Cold Python had once appeared in the waters of a valley in the southeast region.
On the way to the valley, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him, but when he turned around, he couldn't find anything.
"Could it be my imagination?" Qin Lie shook his head and continued walking.
Qin Lie carefully searched around the valley's pond for the entire morning, but he didn't even find the shadow of a Demon Beast. Apart from a few pieces of Ice Sesame Grass, there was almost nothing else. Just as he was about to go back dejectedly, the strange sound of a snake flicking its tongue came from the bushes to his left.
Pushing aside the bushes in front of him, when Qin Lie saw clearly what was in front of him, his expression suddenly lit up. It was a young Ice Soul Cold Python, about four meters long, as thick as a bucket, with dark green eyes, resting near the pool of water. From its aura, it was at least a first stage Demon Beast, which was equivalent to the third stage of Body Refining Stage.
Qin Lie looked around, and after discovering that there were no other movements from the Ice Soul Cold Python, he immediately started to think. The Ice Soul Cold Python's swimming speed was very fast in the water, but it was very slow on the road. Therefore, in order to obtain the beast core, one had to kill it with a single strike and attack very quickly, not giving it the chance to escape back to Tan Zhong.
Qin Lie did not dare act rashly, because he knew that the young Ice Soul Cold Pythons were the most difficult ones to deal with. They were born with poison, and the moment they were hit by the cold fog, they would immediately be attacked by the poison and die.
After maintaining a certain distance, Qin Lie took out the arrows that he had prepared beforehand and adjusted his stance, quietly waiting for the right time.
The Ice Soul Cold Python not far away seemed to not realize that it was in danger and slowly closed its beady eyes.
"A good chance!" Qin Lie thought.
"Swoosh!" A black arrow suddenly shot out, like a bolt of lightning flashing across the sky, accurately flying into the Ice Soul Cold Python's eyes. Without giving it any chance to escape, Qin Lie leapt out and hugged onto its body, and started to use all sorts of hammers, stopping only when the Ice Soul Cold Python stopped moving.
"Thirteenth Brother, what did you find?" After Qin Lie forcefully dug out the Ice Soul Cold Python's beast core, after walking a hundred meters away, a sharp cry sounded behind him, and Tu Mo immediately appeared in front of the youth like a ghost.
Qin Lie raised his eyebrows. Seeing Tu Mo's eyes flash with a cold and cruel light, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and replied: "Big Brother Tu, what are you looking for me for?"
"What is it? Haha, Thirteenth Little Brother really knows how to pretend to be stupid! Do not think that I do not know what you are holding in your hand, and that you have handed over the Ice Soul Cold Python's beast core, or else do not blame me for personally taking action! "
"So you've been following me?" Qin Lie trembled slightly, his eyes stared straight at Tu Mo, and his hands clenched into fists: "Big brother Tu! I don't believe that you dare to do anything to me. Have you forgotten the rules of Kung Fu Hall? "
"Rules? Pah!" Since ancient times, the strong preys on the weak, and I, Tu Mo, have stayed in the Duke Palaces for ten years. Thirteenth Brother, don't try to stall for time. If you don't hand it over, you will die! Moreover, in the eyes of others, I might not be the one to kill you! " Tu Mo suddenly said.
"You want to kill me, steal the beast core, and blame it on the Demon Beast?" Qin Lie understood and shouted coldly.
"Thirteenth Brother, I can see that you're a smart person, and even more so a talented one!" Tu Mo smiled coldly and nodded, "At fifteen years old, he has already far surpassed his peers who are at the fifth level of the Body Refining Stage. His future can be said to be boundless, but you have blocked my path, and this time is a golden opportunity.
"Big Brother Tu, I have never offended you. Why do you have to be so vicious and kill me? " Qin Lie felt a strong sense of confusion and anger.
"Because you're too smart. Even though you've concealed your strength all these years and fooled others, you can't hide it from me. You will surpass me sooner or later, which is something I absolutely won't allow, so you must die! " Tu Mo said impatiently.
"Tu Mo, I am not that easy to kill." A flash of determination appeared in Qin Lie's eyes! Tu Mo's Cultivation Level was at the peak of the eighth stage of the Body Refining Stage, an existence that was half a step into the Myriad Profound Stage. If he wanted to escape Tu Mo's pursuit, he could only seize the initiative. With his mind turning, Qin Lie raised his hand and shot the jade bottle that was collecting dew towards Tu Mo. At the same time, he himself also shot out explosively, and a ball of dense and circulating white ball of air appeared above his raised right fist as he punched towards Tu Mo.
"Brother Thirteen is indeed fearless. If he doesn't kill you today, then he will cause endless troubles in the future. Die!" Tu Mo revealed a look of disdain, his body did not move at all, and a Qi wave that was visible to the naked eye swept out in all directions! Meanwhile, that jade bottle seemed to have grown eyes, as it directly fell into his hand. "Thank you, Thirteenth Brother, for giving me some dew."
Qin Lie, who was in the air, could not dodge and was struck by the wave of air. Without any resistance, his entire body was like a rock, flying backwards, with a "Puchi" sound, he fell more than ten meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembled twice, and he lost consciousness.
"He can't even withstand a single blow!" Tu Mo shook his head in disdain and took away the beast core from Qin Lie's bosom. He lowered his head to look at the jade bottle in his hand and suddenly, his expression turned angry, because the jade bottle was actually empty without a single drop of dew! When he looked at where Qin Lie was standing before, he saw that there was a patch of wet ground there.
"Damned trash, you actually spilled the dew on the ground!" As his voice fell, a faintly discernible gigantic white python condensed from spirit energy suddenly appeared on Tu Mo's arm. He raised his hand and smacked towards the unconscious Qin Lie.
"Rumble!" The heavenly thunder exploded. The originally clear sky of the nine heavens suddenly rose up into the sky. Thousands of dark clouds suddenly rose up, and faint blue lightning wildly danced like golden snakes. The sound of violent thunder exploded out!
"Hmm? "What's going on?" Sensing the violent change in the sky, Tu Mo stared at Qin Lie and trembled slightly. His palm stopped in mid air, and he raised his head to look at the sky with suspicion.
After a moment of hesitation, Tu Mo slowly lowered his hand and his gaze stopped on Qin Lie's body. Tu Mo's face suddenly revealed a trace of a savage smile. "Natural phenomenon. If I let you live, you will become a disaster in the future. Since I can't kill you, then let me destroy your dantian. From now on, you will only be a cripple. Hahaha!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Mo took out a black pill from his chest and swallowed it.
Qin Lie, who was knocked out by Tu Mo, subconsciously felt a strong sense of danger, and struggled to stand up, but very quickly, his hands and feet started to feel the danger, and after doing all this, Tu Mo wrinkled his brows, and stopped paying attention to his situation, his figure disappearing in a few flashes.
"Pfft — —" After Tu Mo left, Qin Lie gradually opened his eyes, the blood and Qi in his chest was in turmoil, he continuously spat out blood from his mouth, and black blood also flowed out from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
Ah!" He quickly realized that his dantian had actually completely shattered. Not only did his cultivation of the sixth level of the Refinement Realm disappear, but he also did not have a dantian, which also meant that from now on, he would no longer be able to absorb spirit energy and could only become a cripple.
This discovery made Qin Lie feel as if he was struck by lightning!
On the other side, the foster son who heard the scream also rushed over, upon seeing Qin Lie on the ground struggling and bleeding from his seven orifices, everyone felt a chill down their backs, as they did not dare believe the scene in front of them. Was this really Qin Lie? It was too miserable! On the grass, Qin Lie was curled up with his hands around his stomach, his entire body shivering as he spat out large mouthfuls of blood, they were all black and very thick, bubbling and an extremely dense stench of blood pervaded the air around him.
"He … How did it become like this? " A foster son came back to his senses and immediately exclaimed out loud.
"He must have been poisoned by the Ice Soul Cold Python. Let's hurry up and bring him back to the Duke's Mansion and see if we can save him." One of them suggested that although the remaining people were unwilling, they should be leaving Qin Lie here to fend for himself. They might not even be able to explain their actions when they return to the Duke Palaces, thus, a few of them stood out and carried Qin Lie back to the Duke Palaces.
Tu Mo walked behind the crowd and sneered sinisterly.
In the Demon Suppressing King Palace, when Chief Protector Xia Heng heard that Qin Lie was attacked by the Demon Beast, he quickly went to Qin Lie's room. His gaze swept across Tu Mo fiercely. Although Tu Mo's face didn't show any abnormalities, he was afraid that Xia Heng would notice that using poison to harm a person's life was a capital offense!
"Everyone else can leave first, Tu Mo will stay behind!" Xia Heng intentionally kept the others away, and after a while, Xia Heng suddenly asked in a low voice: "Tu Mo, did you do it?"
Tu Mo's body trembled, but he still pretended to be innocent, and said with an expression of shock: "Uncle Xia Heng, what kind of person do you think I, Tu Mo, am? How could I possibly kill my adorable Thirteenth Brother? It's that Ice Soul Cold Python which has been cut into ten thousand pieces. "
"Don't think that I don't know what you are scheming. Qin Lie has been poisoned by scorpion poison, and it is even the core of the Single Horned Scorpion. This pill is extremely poisonous, and is known to be unstoppable under ten thousand profound practitioners.
Tu Mo was silent for a while. Since the matter had been exposed, he could only accept it. He said tremblingly: "Uncle Xia Heng, I stole this from the Duke Palace's treasury."
"What?" "How dare you!" Xia Heng's face became gloomy, but he did not plan to deal with Tu Mo, for the past ten years, he had always treated Tu Mo as his trusted aide, if not, he would have already been severely punished by the Kung Fu Hall.
"Tu Mo, you go and take care of Qin Lie's body. No matter who asks how Qin Lie died, you all must insist that it was the Demon Beast's doing. You all should know nothing about the rest, understand?"
"I will listen to Uncle Xia Heng's arrangements!" At this time, Tu Mo also calmed down, and said: "Uncle Xia Heng, what about you?"
"Although this brat's death is insignificant, it was picked up by the Demon Suppressing King. If he were to be brought up one day, I'm afraid that he would be in trouble if he did not make some preparations. How about this …"
"Alright, let's do it now!" After hearing what Tu Mo had to say, Tu Mo immediately followed up with a look of fear. The Uncle Xia Heng in front of him normally had a kind and generous appearance, but he never expected that the young man in front of him would have such a deep personality and conduct himself so ruthlessly. It seemed that he had to be wary of Xia Heng in the future.
After Tu Mo muttered to himself, he immediately brought the few servants, with a cold expression on his face, and took advantage of the moment when Night Walker was half dead to charge into Herb Mountain.
"Buzz …" At the same time, a mysterious scroll that had always been hidden in Qin Lie's mind suddenly emitted a weak golden light. That night, the Heavenly Dragon Empire were covered densely in black clouds and muffled thunder roiled as heavy rain poured down like water from the ninth heaven. The boundless sea of trees and the boundless mountains were trembling. It seemed as if a small boat within the raging tempest might be destroyed at any moment.
