C9 Theft

To Lei Ao, it wasn't hard to draw a pentagram with a pen. What was difficult was how to draw out the trajectory of the pentagram with a hand gesture.

Unknowingly, Lei Ao started to pay attention to the man in white's movements. He imitated the man's gesture of placing both his hands flat in front of his chest, hoping to secretly learn half a move.

Due to the behemoth and the man in white's flawless avatar, Golden Blood and Nail had lost their support. The two were evenly matched, unable to suppress each other. And under the exhaustion of strength, regardless of whether it was the golden blood or the fingernails, the body size had shrunk to not even one. If they continued to fight, they would only end up with injuries on both sides.

As the man in white moved the star chart, every time his finger drew across, it would bring about a golden line. The star chart was made up of these golden lines.

That was not golden blood. These lines gave Lei Ao an extremely oppressive feeling, as if they were an invisible force. This made him think of the true energy within his body.

If he were to simply draw with his hand, even if he was able to complete the star map, he wouldn't have any strength to speak of. The only way to turn a star map into a method of attack was if the engraver himself bestowed the power of the star map.

Zhen Qi was the power a Qi warrior possessed. It was this kind of power that allowed Qi warriors to become gods in the minds of mortals.

When Lei Ao and Wang Ba fought, he inadvertently produced true energy. However, he didn't dare to use this true energy, because the last scratch he suffered was too painful to bear.

This time, he suddenly focused his mind on his Dantian and urged his zhenqi to concentrate on his fingers.

However, what he did not know was that he had only opened three of the twelve main meridians, so his true qi could not reach his hand. The harder he pushed, the more ferocious that surge of true energy became. That feeling of itchiness from that day assaulted him once again, accompanied by waves of intense pain, and his body started to make crackling sounds.

Compared to the earthshaking battle between the white clothed person and the giant beast, the noise that Lei Ao made was insignificant. In addition, he was as small as an ant. Lei Ao clenched his teeth, not wanting to make a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, when the pain in Lei Ao's body disappeared for the ninth time, his entire body relaxed. The heart-piercing itch also disappeared into thin air. Waves of refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, giving him an indescribable feeling of relaxation.

Nine times of pain, plus the three times he had fought with Wang Ba, Lei Ao had already opened up twelve main meridians and officially stepped into the world of Qi warriors.

Like a whale absorbing water, it was devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. The true energy within his body was growing rapidly, and when his dantian could not hold it, this surge of true energy rushed out from the Shan Zhong Acupuncture Point, instantly reaching Lei Ao's brain.

With an explosive "boom", Lei Ao felt dizzy and dizzy. He subconsciously focused his mind on his brain and miraculously saw a desert.

Even though it was called a desert, it was only ten meters in radius. Other than the desert, everything else was pitch black. After his true qi entered the desert, he calmed down and turned into a thin mist floating in the air.

What was this? Sea of consciousness?

Lei Ao was inwardly flabbergasted. He didn't understand the situation in front of him, and could only conclude that this phenomenon was unique to Qi warriors. From what he knew, anything that he couldn't explain was related to Qi warriors.

After opening his meridians, Lei Ao found that his Zhen Qi could reach his fingertips, so he couldn't wait to start inscribing the star map.

After many experiments, he found that he needed to use his spirit to connect to the desert in his mind before he could use his true qi. And after a hundred times, he could barely draw out a path with his true qi and stay there for about half a second.

After half a second, his zhenqi had dissipated into nothingness. Although it was only for half a second, it made Lei Ao extremely happy. The only difference was that his true qi was silver, and it felt quite inferior to the man in white's golden true qi.

In half a second, he had to draw out five paths and link them together so that he could form a complete star chart.

Lei Ao tried again and again. Occasionally, he succeeded, but not only did the star map not take shape, it disappeared even faster. It was as if he had made a mistake in the order in which the lines were drawn.

Because of this, Lei Ao's eyes were glued to the white-clothed person. It was only on the seventh time he had used the star chart that he was able to see the order of the five lines.

How complicated. Lei Ao sighed to himself. He had almost snapped his fingers when he was practicing. When he was about to give up, a silver light suddenly lit up between his hands and a mysterious pentagram appeared in front of him.

Uh, it's done? Lei Ao was pleasantly surprised as he stared at the pentagram. He could feel that it had established some sort of connection with him.

Roar!

The bright silver light from the fifth star attracted the attention of the gigantic beast. It unexpectedly roared and left the white-clad man behind, turning its gaze towards Lei Ao.

Damn, I'm in trouble. Lei Ao was shocked. Hatred filled his eyes as he looked at the gigantic beast. Needless to say, it was because the pentagram and the white-robed man's attacks were exactly the same, making it think that he and the white-robed man were on the same side.

The gigantic beast suddenly stopped, and the man in white just glanced at Lei Ao. As for him being able to draw out the star map he was using, he didn't seem surprised, nor did he praise it, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Perhaps it was because it felt that Lei Ao was too weak, but the giant beast disdained to attack. It only kicked up a rock and threw it at Lei Ao.

This stone was as big as Lei Ao and the other two. Seeing that the man in white had no intention to attack, Lei Ao followed his example and pushed the star map out.

The moment the star map left his hand, Lei Ao felt the world spinning around him. The desert in his mind started to shake violently, and then his zhen qi quickly disappeared. In just half a breath's time, the desert regained its previous calm. There was no longer any trace of true qi present.

Damn it, what kind of move was this? Before the enemy hit him, he had nearly died from playing around with it.

Lei Ao cursed under his breath. Making the star map seemed simple, but it actually required a lot of Zhen Qi. When the star map left his hand, it had not only absorbed all the true energy in his body, but it had also drained the power from his blood and bones. At this moment, it was difficult for him to even move his fingers.

Fortunately, the star map did not disappoint him. Although it did not increase in size to thirty meters like the man in white had, it was at least half a meter in size. Moreover, the power was beyond his imagination. Just as the stone came in contact with the star map, it was as easy as tofu being crushed.

Then, without slowing down, the star chart flew straight towards the gigantic beast.

Roar ~ ~

The giant beast seemed to feel insulted. It swung its tail and the star map was turned into silver light specks. The silver light specks scattered and quickly merged into the air.

Lei Ao's full-powered attack was destroyed just like that, but the beast still didn't want to let him go. It opened its mouth and spat out a black mist, which shot out like lightning.

This time, the man in white did not just stand there and watch. With a light brush, he shattered the black fog, and then he once again clashed with the giant beast.

Lei Ao silently rejoiced at the fact that he had managed to retrieve his life. Just now, he felt as if he had been struck by a ghost. If it weren't for the white-clothed person's timely intervention, he wouldn't have been able to dodge that black fog.

At this time, the battle between the golden drop of blood and the giant beast nail had come to an end. Both drops shrank to the size of a human finger, falling from the sky at the same time as if they lost all their strength, coincidentally landing right in front of Lei Ao.

"Your grandmother." Lei Ao's face darkened. He couldn't help but curse loudly because the huge beast's attention was attracted over again.

After a few roars, the giant beast extended its arm and an invisible suction force appeared in its palm. It sucked in the half piece of fingernail along with the golden blood along with Lei Ao.

Halfway there, the white-clothed person waved his hand and formed a star map, forcibly cutting off the suction force, causing all three of them to simultaneously fall to the ground. He was stuck between the man in white and the beast.

"Keep fighting, I'm just passing by." Using both his hands and feet, Lei Ao quickly pounced towards the man in white.

The giant beast seemed to want to snatch back the claw, but the man in white did not budge an inch. He continuously sent out more than ten star charts and beat back the giant beast.

Soon after, the man in white's hands moved in a complicated trajectory. This time, there was no star map. Instead, the golden blood and half of his fingernail danced in the air and shot out like lightning.

That direction... Shockingly, he pointed at Lei Ao!
