Chapter 57 Han Li: This feeling of being dependent on others...it's so familiar! [New book, ple
What truly troubled Mengde was that, just when he was at a loss for how to end things, Yunxi offered him a perfect solution...
If we follow Yunxi's plan, then Mengde only needs to continue hiding, and Yunxi will die as Mosquito Taoist... In the end, Mengde will not only be able to complete Qingli's mission, but also leave the Blood Forbidden Land without any suspicion.
But... is this what Mengde wanted?
Meng De admitted that he had become heartless from killing mosquitoes all day at Blackwater Manor... but those were just mosquitoes without intelligence, driven only by genetic instincts... Yunxi and the others were different...
Chen Tai, Fairy Qingling, Yunxi, Qingli, Baiyunsheng... Mengde always remembered these people who had taken care of him.
Without Chen Tai, Mengde might not have been able to safely spend those ten years at Spirit Beast Mountain.
Without Fairy Qingling, Mengde might have been a servant for life... shoveling poop until he himself became poop.
Without Qingli, Mengde might not have been able to enter Qingling Peak, and he would have become a rogue cultivator without any backing...
if......
In short, Mengde didn't want Yunxi to die; at the very least... Yunxi couldn't die because of him...
"If you die so easily... how can I repay this karma?" Shaking his head slightly, Meng De continued to cast circles of Source Blood Runes at the surrounding swarm of insects while carrying Yunxi, whose injuries had stabilized slightly, and went to find a medicine vendor who was lost in the sea of insects not far away.
The swarm's response to the Source Blood Runes has a certain delay, which is why Mengde didn't save Yunxi immediately. In that instant, he unleashed dozens of Source Blood Runes: first, Spirit Rain Technique, Spirit Rain Sword Technique, Rune Sword Technique, Fire Rain Technique...
Because he didn't know the reactions of the two Qi Refining Peak cultivators from Tianque Fortress, Meng De always anticipated their moves. Each round of the Insect Escape Technique was based on eight Origin Blood Talismans, with three rounds forming one attack batch. In other words, the twenty-four Origin Blood Talismans were divided into three attack rounds, launching indiscriminate attacks on the two cultivators from Tianque Fortress from all directions.
No matter where the two Tianque Fortress cultivators launched their attack, they would be met with two more rounds of magical attacks. At this point, Meng De would adjust the direction of the Tianque Fortress cultivators' attack based on the information feedback from the insect swarm, thus forcing the two Tianque Fortress cultivators to move within a limited space. If they tried to break through, they would ultimately be forcibly pushed back by the continuous stream of insect swarm spells!
"Damn it! Why doesn't his spell stop?!" The two Tianque Fortress cultivators, surrounded in the center of the sea of insects, were battered and bruised by the relentless bombardment of spells. Large areas of Netherworld Green Spots appeared all over their bodies, and their condition was getting weaker and weaker!
"Even a peak Qi Refining cultivator wouldn't have this much mana!" Feng Yue's expression turned grave as he continuously defended against and dodged the surrounding insect swarm's magical attacks. He discovered a cruel reality: the poison of the Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquitoes was more like a kind of 'turbid spiritual power,' and this turbid spiritual power could even be activated through spells. Once it collided with the mana they needed to 'circulate,' it would directly affect their own mana!
The most common form of mana circulation is the protective mana of a cultivator. This protective mana circulates continuously, thus reducing consumption while maintaining optimal defensive capabilities at all times.
However, the turbid spiritual power of the Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquito is particularly effective at suppressing this kind of magical power cycle!
At the same time Feng Yue discovered this phenomenon, Meng De also discovered it. Therefore, in the subsequent spell bombardment, Meng De began to add a large number of Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquitoes as consumables, directly blasting an extremely tight "poison circle" for Feng Yue and Meng De!
Faced with insect-escape spells mixed with turbid spiritual energy, Feng Yue and his companion could only defend themselves by countering with spells and dodging! However, Meng De's insect-escape spells were mostly in large groups, leaving little room for dodging. Therefore, they had to counter with spells, which constantly depleted their own mana!
Feng Yue and his companion originally thought that the enemy would be unable to withstand the release of magic first, and that as long as they could withstand the initial attacks, they would be able to break through the encirclement.
but...
One minute passed... three minutes passed... five minutes passed... ten minutes passed...
When Feng Yue and his companion realized that their magic power was running low, they were horrified to find that the intensity of the insect escape spells around them had not decreased at all!
"How is this possible?!"
Meng De certainly didn't have that much magical power. He was just a small fry at the tenth level of Qi Refining, like Xiang Zhili. He could only cast large spells two or three times at most before he had to give up.
However... Mengde never used a single bit of his own magic power... He only used the source blood talisman that he had prepared in advance and the first-level spirit insects in the swarm.
Meng De possessed several thousand of the Blood Source Talismans, which could be crafted with just a small amount of blood spirit energy. As for the trillions of level-one spirit insects in the swarm, numbering potentially exceeding ten billion, Meng De didn't hesitate to consume them, because he couldn't take any of them with him...
......
The battle fluctuations deep within the insect swarm were extremely terrifying, especially the spell attacks that came every three seconds, which directly blasted a ball of light out of the dark insect swarm!
Han Li, shrouded in darkness, stared at the barrage of magical energy ahead, his expression growing serious. He couldn't fathom what kind of battle was raging before him... Judging solely from the emanating magical energy, Han Li even suspected that at least twenty peak Qi Refining cultivators were exchanging spells...
But soon, Han Li's expression changed, and his gaze subconsciously turned to a certain place that was less than ten meters away from him. He was immediately shocked!
"When did he appear?! Why didn't I sense him?!" Han Li was terrified by the sudden appearance of the illusory figure. He subconsciously summoned his magic weapon and looked at the illusory figure ten meters away with bated breath.
The illusory figure in black robes carried Yunxi a few steps forward, then stopped when he saw Han Li's wary expression and put down the heavily injured and dying Yunxi.
"Save her." Under the influence of the Dreamy Scales, the black-robed Meng De glanced silently at Han Li not far away, pointed at Yun Xi on the ground, then turned and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
"This is..." Han Li remained vigilant even as the ghostly figure in black robes left. But after the figure had completely disappeared, Han Li couldn't help but glance at Yun Xi, who was seriously injured on the ground.
"Such severe injuries... a woman... clothes from Spirit Beast Mountain... could it be...?" Seeing Yunxi's horrific injuries, Han Li's expression changed slightly; he seemed to have guessed her identity...
Between Yunxi and Han Li, it's not really a matter of who tricked whom, but for Han Li, he realized that the person before him seemed to be the biggest victim of his sudden, impulsive plan...
"Never mind..." Han Li looked in the direction where Meng De in black robes had left. The ball of light illuminated by the magical energy waves was now exploding even more brilliantly... He sighed slightly, then took a few steps forward to check Yun Xi's injuries. He then took out several medicine bottles from his storage bag and poured various high-grade healing pills made from rare thousand-year-old spiritual herbs into Yun Xi's mouth without any regard for the cost.
Han Li had already guessed the identity of Meng De in black robes; the fact that Meng De could find him so easily and directly ask him to save someone...
Han Li didn't dare to act recklessly for the time being; he needed to save the girl's life first.
Han Li didn't know whether the Mosquito Taoist would threaten him now that the girl from Spirit Beast Mountain had been saved.
But even a fool could imagine what would happen if he failed to save the girl from Spirit Beast Mountain and was subsequently blamed.
Although it felt a bit like being under someone else's roof... Han Li had no choice, after all... it was the other party's home turf now.
If he could do it all over again, Han Li swore he would never... well... let's try again...
Suddenly reminded of some pink memories, Han Li felt that this blood-red forbidden area... he wanted to come back again.
