Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 436 Inch Strength
Venerable Qianlong tapped the ice surface with his toes, and his black boots crushed the ice crystal patterns under the snow.

This sea well is not hidden far away. It is the ice field where You Su killed the Black Sea Moon.

The blood ice condensed around reflected an eerie red light. Twelve ice pillars pierced the sky like fangs. Seven bronze tripods were arranged in a staggered manner. The chains wrapped around the tripods were trembling slightly with the evil roar.

“Xuanming Guixu Formation.” Venerable Qianlong stroked the Taotie pattern at the center of the formation with his fingertips, and the friction between his frosty nails and the bronze made a sharp sound. “They even changed the formation I prescribed…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fist suddenly, and in an instant she broke off one of the ears of the heavy bronze tripod.

"I clearly told them to use their own Xuan Qi as the guide... but they used the blood and blood of living people as the guide! What a bunch of beasts!"

You Su looked at the black mist surging in the well. At first he thought that only the blood of a living person could attract evil spirits, but it seems that this is not the case at all.

This made it even more incredible for him. If the Xuanqi was gone, one could cultivate it again, but these people were not even willing to spend the effort. Instead, they used something non-renewable like human life to replace their renewable Xuanqi.

This level of contempt for human life really chilled You Su. However, these people had no intention of saving these people in the distant mountains. Perhaps in their eyes, this was still the value of these people's lives.

"How do we break the formation?" You Su asked, "Is it enough to destroy these seven bronze tripods?"

He now had only one idea, which was to kill these guys who disregarded human life as soon as possible.

The woman glanced at him and caught a glimpse of the murderous intent in the boy's eyes, as if she also caught a glimpse of the boy's thoughts that were the same as hers.

"It is unrealistic to dig such a deep submarine tunnel. The Xuanming Guixu Formation is essentially a teleportation formation."

Venerable Qianlong froze the boiling blood pool in the cauldron, and the mysterious runes flowed in her palm. She was not only a top magician in the Five Continents, but also a master of formations with profound attainments. However, people rarely knew her latter identity:
"The seven tripods are meant to lure the evil spirits from the seabed to come here, but the passage has already been completed. Even without the beacon, they still know how to get there. So destroying the bronze tripod is only a temporary solution. We can only reverse the formation to close the passage. But in order to prevent it from being destroyed, I encrypted the orbit of the formation. If you don't understand its logic, it is impossible to destroy it."

"Why are you explaining all this to me? Then just reverse it." You Su was not polite at all. Instead, he felt that the woman was showing off her knowledge.

Venerable Qianlong's expression tensed, but she still endured the disrespect shown to her by a junior, because she knew that You Su was as anxious as she was.

"I tell you all this because I want you to know that breaking the formation is not a matter of a moment. When I break the formation later, I have the formation to protect me, and the evil spirits can't get close to me. You'd better stay away, because before the formation is broken, the evil spirits here will not stop, and I won't have time to take care of you. I will set up a formation next to you, and you can just stay in it without worrying about it."

Before he finished speaking, a foul-smelling black wave suddenly gushed out of the sea well. An evil creature covered in fluorescent shells broke out of the ground. A strange fish face was reflected on each of its shells, and a childlike laugh emanated from its throat: "Hehehe..."

Just by feeling, he knew that this evil spirit was no ordinary one. Temporarily avoiding the sharp edge was indeed the best choice for You Su.

But he didn't want to choose this way.

When he kills the evil spirits, he will absorb the power of the souls killed by his sword because of the power of God, so he is not going to sit idly by at this time.

But the more important reason was that he had no place to vent his anger at the moment, and it was difficult to relieve the depression in his heart without cutting something.

So he raised his ink sword, a hint of determination appeared between his brows:
"If I hide, what will happen to these evil spirits? Will I have to watch them eat people?"

The woman's exquisite face was stunned when she heard that. She did not doubt You Su's strength. After all, he could become the son of the God of Exorcism, so he must have unique ways to deal with evil spirits. But if he wanted to face Haijing head-on, he would have to face not just one or two, but hundreds or thousands of them.

She wanted to say that You Su was a foreigner and didn't need to risk his life for Bei Aozhou, but she couldn't say it in the end. She felt that if she said that, she would look down on the boy and show her narrow-mindedness.

In front of this young man who was several hundred years younger than her, she actually felt ashamed of herself - because she only had Bei'ao in her heart, but the young man had the entire Five Continents in his heart.

"After the matter is settled, I will commend you on behalf of everyone in Beiaozhou."

The woman's voice was unusually gentle. She made this commendation when You Su was wanted by all five continents. Her implication was that she wanted to use the power of the whole continent to clear his name.

You Su also glanced at the woman, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Don't make yourself look bad, settle the important things first."

For some reason, the boy's advice made the woman feel a sharp pain in her heart.

She felt the same way about being misunderstood by the world. When she looked at the boy again, her eyes were no longer sharp.

You Su did not linger any longer. The Mosong sword was unsheathed and kept humming, as if it could not wait to start killing.

The ice fields of Shuocheng trembled in the evil roar. Venerable Qianlong was suspended above the sea well, and the plain skirt was torn into broken butterfly wings by the surging black fog. The ice crystal runes flowing on her fingertips fell like a galaxy, and the moment each one sank into the bronze tripod, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the tripod. The mysterious light of the reversed formation rose from the seven tripods, interweaving into an inverted star map, pressing the turbid current surging at the well mouth back into the abyss inch by inch.

You Su's sword plowed a river of blood on the snow. The Mosong Sword drank too much of the evil's black blood, and before it could drip out, the severe cold of Bei'ao caused a layer of fine black frost to condense on the sword's spine. Every time an evil spirit was killed, the frost flowers exploded into a sharp sword energy.

He kept exhaling hot air from his mouth, and even though he was already tired, he neatly cut off the claws of the three crab-shaped evil spirits. When the fishy mucus splashed on his face, he vaguely heard the rustling sound of thousands of shells rubbing against each other in the eddies on the seabed - these evil spirits and the ones that emerged from the seabed were indeed from the same source.

"There is still 30% left..." The voice of Venerable Qianlong fell down mixed with ice crystals.

"Just focus on breaking yours!" You Su sounded like he was giving an order.

The divine pattern on Venerable Qianlong's forehead flickered, and the reversal of the formation consumed not only the mysterious energy, but also the tearing apart of her obsession with Beiaozhou for hundreds of years.

Because it was not only the formation that was reversed, but also the souls of those who died. However, it could only make their wails before death echo continuously, but could not reverse their lives. Therefore, every rune carved into the body of the cauldron seemed to be cutting out her heart and flesh.

You Su leaned on his sword and gasped. The evil debris piled up around him suddenly began to move strangely.

From the depths of the black tide came the sound of dislocated bones, and a hand covered with green scales broke through the snow, with the webbed membranes between the fingers glowing with a faint blue fluorescence. This was a humanoid evil spirit, and when it slowly stood up, You Su's pupils suddenly contracted - its head was like a shark pierced by sharp teeth, and the fishy salty mist sprayed out from the opening and closing of its gills, and the bony tail extending from the end of the spine swept across the ice, plowing deep grooves.

You Su's pupils shrank slightly, and he thought to himself that after killing so many evil spirits, they had indeed noticed it, so an obviously special evil spirit came.

"Back off!" Venerable Qianlong's warning was drowned out by the sharp scream of the bone tail breaking through the air.

The evil webbed feet stomped heavily on the ground, and the ice field instantly collapsed into a spider web shape. Before You Su could jump up, his ankles were entangled by the surging black water.

The liquid seemed to be alive. The moment it flowed into his meridians through his trouser legs, he felt the blood in his body begin to boil - this was not fear, but some kind of violent power aroused by the touch of the evil spirit. It was his body's desire to kill it!
The shark-headed evil spirit's bony tail had swept to his face. The moment You Su blocked with his sword, the Mosong sword made a crisp sound, and the sword body was actually pressed into an arc. But just when You Su thought that his strength had successfully blocked the attack of the humanoid evil spirit, a trace of ridicule flashed across the evil spirit's vertical pupils, and the bony tail suddenly expanded three times, and the wriggling black meat burst out from the gaps between the scales, like the tense muscles of a person when he suddenly exerted force.

When You Su turned around to avoid it, his left arm was still cut open. With such a strong force, it was clear that this was an evil creature of flesh and blood.

You Su picked up his sword and fought again, and clashed with the evil spirit several times, but every time he thought he had enough strength to fight against the evil spirit, he was easily suppressed by the other party.

"I see." You Su licked the blood from the corner of his lips, obviously having already listed this evil creature as one that must be killed.

"I told you to move away!" The woman floating above the sea well ordered again, "It came for me! It can't break my body protection array! You don't need to fight it!"

"I also want you to concentrate on breaking the formation!"

You Su just gave the female fairy above an impatient look, but this look made Venerable Qianlong dazed.

Was he trying to prevent it from bothering me... But he clearly didn't need to go to this extent...

Venerable Qianlong actually had the urge to pause the process of breaking the formation to help the young man, but she also knew that once she paused, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

If she did this, the boy would definitely not be grateful to her. The only thing she could do was to break the formation as quickly as possible!

The humanoid evil spirit seemed to realize that in order to deal with the person above, it had to deal with the person in front of it first, and it pounced towards You Su again with fierce force.

But You Su suddenly sheathed his sword, and at the moment when the sharp claws of the evil spirit were about to pierce his chest, he rushed into the other's arms against the bloody wind, and clasped the evil spirit's cheek tightly with his bloody palm.

However, his left hand drew the sword out of the sheath with a twisted movement, as if he was pulling out a dagger hidden in his sleeve. He has never been able to wield the sword with only his right hand!
The violent sword intent of Mosong surged into their touching skins. His pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot, and the Mosong Sword immediately emitted a dragon-like roar - the fire intent nurtured by the Zhengyang Sword Cultivation Technique and the endless and powerful sword intent collided violently in his meridians!
The shark-headed evil spirit screamed like a baby, and You Su's right arm broke into pieces in the black and red blood light, but it also reversed all the accumulated violent power.

The evil scales exploded like a fish bladder in boiling water, revealing the squirming scarlet muscles underneath. You Su took the opportunity to draw his sword and thrust it upwards, the blade piercing through the jaw and into the head!
The next moment, this terrifying, almost shark-like head split into two.

The first thing You Su did after killing the evil spirit was to look inwards at his sea of ​​consciousness. Sure enough, there was an image of the human-shaped evil spirit on the gold paper.

He tightened the hilt of the sword again, but did not notice any gain. However, he was not in a hurry, but continued to swing the sword at the next evil spirit.

And at the moment when the sword pierced into the evil spirit's body, You Su finally confirmed his speculation!

The ability of this evil humanoid creature is extraordinary explosive power!
Therefore, You Su, who was good at inferring the enemy's strength, made wrong judgments many times. He thought that he could block the opponent and save his energy to counterattack, but he was often caught off guard by the sudden surge of strength.

His sword should have simply pierced through the body of the fish-shaped evil creature, but as his mind sank, it was instantly stabbed into pieces!

But the real value of this explosive force is not the power of the sudden attack, but its suddenness. In a very short time, it can turn an ordinary move into a deadly killing move! Kill the enemy without any defense!
This concept is closer to the inch force in physical cultivation. However, inch force is a very difficult combat technique to master, and only those physical training masters can master it. However, You Su, as a Taoist who does not specialize in physical training, has acquired the ability of this technique so easily!

You Su also realized this, so he was willing to get injured and kill the evil spirit with his own hands.

At this moment, the sea well let out a wail like a prehistoric beast. The last seven ice talismans flew out from the sleeves of the Venerable Qianlong, and the bronze tripod exploded into powder. The upside-down star map turned into a whirlpool, tearing the evil spirits that had not yet crawled out into fireflies. The moment the black tide flowed back to the well mouth, she stumbled to the ground, and her tied hair became messy again.

You Su knelt on the gradually frozen wreckage of the evil spirit, the five penetrating wounds on his chest slowly healing under the stimulation of Tai Sui's power.

The surging black tide on the ice field solidified into a winding inky gully, like a hideous scar.

He looked up at Venerable Qianlong who was walking quickly towards him. The woman stopped in front of him, with a faint cold fragrance on her body. The icy mist condensed in her palms pressed on You Su's chest without any explanation.

"Are you going to kill the donkey after it has done its job?!" You Su instinctively shrank back.

His dodging action made the woman feel sad, and the boy's words made her feel guilty. She did want to kill the boy, but that was when she thought he was an enemy. She would never show mercy to her enemies.

She did not choose to explain with words, but just pulled You Su over rudely, and wrapped the rolled skin on You Su's chest with ice mist. The cold air and the power of Tai Sui intertwined, freezing the surging pain inch by inch.

You Su realized that this woman wanted to heal his wounds, and although he was surprised, he did not refuse.

"Did it work?" he asked breathlessly.

"Ah."

Venerable Qianlong responded with a light sound and retracted his hand. He glanced at the wounds on the boy's body. Although his eyes were gentle, his voice was colder than the north wind:

"I told you I have a protective formation. It can't hurt me."

You Su was in a good mood, and he lazily raised half of his body:

"There's nothing around you, where did the formation come from?"

"If you had a protective formation, would you paint it in a magnificent way? Would you be eager to tell everyone that you have a protective formation? Would you want to prevent others from attacking you?"

You Su curled his lips, "Then why didn't you block the poison of Venerable Ning Shuang?"

Venerable Qianlong glared, "If this evil spirit is as powerful as that old man, can you still kill it?"

You Su shrugged, "Never mind, I didn't expect you to appreciate it, just think of it as me being sentimental."

Of course, he would not directly say that he was determined to kill the evil spirit in order to absorb its power, and not to protect the woman at all. Since the woman wanted him to think that he was meddling in other people's business, he could just obey her.

When the woman heard the words, the icy mist in her palm condensed and dissipated. You Su almost thought that she wanted to take revenge, but in the end she flicked her sleeves and shook off the snow on his shoulders.

Those poisonous taunts turned three times between the woman's lips and teeth, but turned into a warning:
"Since you know you are causing trouble, just be more obedient from now on. Let's go!"
