The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 111 Magpie
Ding Lin immediately recognized the origin of this gold seal. It was of the same origin as Mo'ang's, but the pattern and material were much inferior.

Gold is immortal and is the most precious thing in the immortal way.

Shinto is based on humanity and draws on the will and power of all living things for nourishment. However, according to common people, jade is more valuable than gold, so jade is the most respected in Shinto.

"Go!"

Chi Lian shouted softly, and the blood-colored light curtain hanging down from the divine seal began to expand, pushing Ding Lin's body outwards, and the entire blood pool was shrouded in it. She waved her hand again, and strands of blood energy coiled upwards and lingered on the golden seal, making it even more powerful.

During this time, Ding Lin stabbed and chopped a few times, but they were all blocked by the light curtain. Moreover, as the golden seal absorbed more blood and energy, the noises made by his attacks on the light curtain became smaller.

In the light curtain, seeing that Ding Lin's attacks were becoming less and less effective, Chi Lian felt more relieved. After calming down a little, only half of her body was left. The bleeding on her waist had stopped, but the cross-section was still bloody, hideous and horrible. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, and even the blood in her eyes that was about to fill up had faded by 90%. As a result, her mind became clearer.

Through the light curtain, Chi Lian looked at Ding Lin. With the divine seal protecting her body, she finally regained some confidence. At this point, both sides were fighting to the death, so there was naturally no need to hide her emotions anymore. Her eyes flashed with bone-chilling hatred without any concealment.

But Chi Lian was still able to endure it. She muttered something and suddenly groaned, as if she was using some secret technique. Her already pale face became even paler, so white that it was almost transparent. It was obvious that the price the demon paid for using this secret technique was not easy.

The light curtain expanded, covering the entire blood pool. Suddenly, the blood that had calmed down began to churn violently, like boiling water. The blood rose and spread into mist. Through the mist, one could vaguely see that the half of Chi Lian's long tail that had been cut off had rolled to the surface of the pool, floating up and down, as if it had come to life, twisting violently.

The long tail jumped out of the pool and was about to meet Chi Lian's waist.

Several attacks were in vain.

Outside the light curtain, Ding Lin remained silent. This divine thing was indeed difficult to deal with. He frowned. At this point, the development of the situation was already very obvious. He had to break the tortoise shell as soon as possible, otherwise things would become more and more difficult as time went on.

"drink!"

Ding Lin let out a low shout, took a step back, raised his sword, gathered all his demonic power, gathered all his strength, grasped the sword with both hands, and chopped down fiercely at the light curtain.

"choke!"

There was a crisp sound like the collision of metal.

The light curtain lowered by the golden seal trembled violently.

Chi Lian's breathing stagnated. She felt that for a moment or two, the golden seal on her head seemed to have lost contact with her. The attack of this powerful enemy in front of her was so sharp.

From Ding Lin's perspective, he saw that the blood-colored wrapped around the golden seal was shaken away a little, and seemed to sway slightly, becoming shaky and less solid. The strike failed, but it had some effect. Fortunately, the situation was not out of control yet. If it continued like this, with a few more strikes, he should be able to break the blockade of the divine domain and kill the snake demon. With this thought in mind, Ding Lin did not hesitate. His eyes were firm and he did not stop at all. He raised the sword again and was determined not to give Chi Lian a chance to breathe.

"choke!"

The sword fell again.

The light curtain was shaking more and more violently, as if it had reached a critical point and could no longer bear the heavy burden. What was even more serious was that a corner of the golden seal that was originally evenly smeared with blood actually revealed its true appearance, a dazzling golden glow. Then the divine seal began to shake violently and spontaneously, as if a dormant consciousness in it had been awakened and began to resist.

not good!

Chi Lian's expression changed drastically. It was really like adding insult to injury. This divine seal was not found on every mountain top. It was just that the Shechan Peak she occupied happened to be located at a node of the earth vein, so it could be condensed. She had occupied this peak for hundreds of years, and stimulated it with demonic energy every day, so it finally appeared.

But she was only a wild demon after all. She had not received the command of the Emperor of Heaven. Although she had obtained the divine seal, she was unable to refine it. Originally, she could still control the peak in the name of actually occupying it, but in recent years, due to the needs of her skills, she had hunted and killed many creatures in the mountains, and the divine seal became increasingly alienated from her.

From not being obedient at the beginning, to slightly resisting later, and finally to hating it deeply.

The Divine Seal is the manifestation of the mountain range. Every blade of grass, every demon, and every monster in the mountain is nurtured by the spirit veins. It is naturally unbearable to be destroyed like this. Fortunately, Chi Lian had already entered the second level of the Yuanshen realm and condensed the Earth Soul. She locked the will of the Divine Seal with the Earth Soul and re-refined it with the Blood Dao secret technique, so that the Divine Seal did not get out of control. However, at this time, as Ding Lin's attack became more intense, the blood color on the surface of the Divine Seal was shaken off a corner, and the sealed instinct revived, and it actually began to struggle and resist.

In an instant, the blood-colored light curtain protecting Chi Lian's body was about to collapse.

opportunity!

Ding Lin's eyes lit up, and without waiting for the sword to fully charge, he chopped it down fiercely.

"Clang!" The light curtain was cut open as the long sword passed by. Although it did not completely collapse, the sword tip still penetrated in. Although it was forced out immediately, the sword energy still cut Chi Lian. On the only remaining half of her demon body, a wound started from the top of her head and spread obliquely all the way to the chest. The originally beautiful face was separated by a line of blood. Chi Lian screamed miserably. In fact, if it were not for seizing the opportunity, Ding Lin's sword would not have been fully charged. At this moment, Chi Lian's injury would not only be aggravated, but she might have lost her life.

"Snapped!"

The half of the broken tail had originally floated in the air, but was broken and fell into the pool of blood again.

Ding Lin succeeded with one sword strike, and without hesitation, he mobilized the demonic energy and gathered strength for the next attack.

"You've made me so miserable!"

Chi Lian screamed miserably, her voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, and a cruel look suddenly flashed in her eyes. The next moment, she suddenly waved her hands violently, and as her palms crossed, the blood pool below suddenly exploded. A large patch of thick blood cloud surged up, tightly covering the corner of the golden seal that was no longer restrained. After this action, the blood pool also faded a little, and it became a little clearer. Through the water, one could see Chi Lian's broken tail that had sunk to the bottom of the pool.

"Feast!"

There was a flash of reluctance in Chi Lian's eyes, but she did not hesitate at all. As she uttered this word, the half of the snake's tail that had just sunk to the bottom of the pool exploded and turned into thick blood energy, which promoted the blood pool to return to its original state. No, it should be even thicker. Chi Lian's face became paler and transparent, and the blood vessels inside were clearly visible. This time, she actually completely abandoned half of her body. Although the snake's tail was cut off, due to the special nature of the blood path technique, it could be continued as long as a certain price was paid. But now the whole tail has turned into nutrients and disappeared without a trace. Naturally, there will be no future. From now on, only half of her body will be left, her body is incomplete, and her path to the Tao is cut off.

But being disabled and losing one's career is better than losing one's life.

At least, that's what Chi Lian thought.

"choke!"

Ding Lin charged up for another attack.

But this time the movement of the divine seal had subsided, and Chi Lian sacrificed her own snake tail, which provided abundant energy, so the attack was naturally ineffective. Ding Lin had a bad premonition in his heart. This red python spent such a huge price, it was naturally impossible for her to continue to survive. She must be trying to escape.

really.

The next moment, the whole mountain suddenly shook violently.

The golden seal above Chi Lian's head shone brightly and spun around. After sacrificing half of her own snake tail with blood, the blood light wrapped around the surface of the seal. Chi Lian's own consciousness was greatly strengthened, completely suppressing the instincts in the seal. She was able to forcibly drive the seal away.

The power of Shinto lies in its status.

Although its power is greatly reduced after leaving its territory, it can be enhanced as long as its status remains.

Before, it wasn't that Chi Lian didn't want to escape, but she was entangled by the instinct in the divine seal and couldn't leave this place. Moreover, the divine seal temporarily blocked Ding Lin, which gave her a glimmer of hope. But in the subsequent changes, this luck no longer existed. She finally hardened her heart, abandoned her tail, and risked her disabled body to escape at all costs.

brush!
The blood light that was pressing on Ding Lin suddenly shrank. Then, Chi Lian's body suddenly rose from the ground, breaking through the mountain wall with the divine seal, and with a loud "boom", the entire snake cave collapsed!
In an instant, countless huge rocks rolled down from the top of the peak like a dragon turning over.

brush!
Ding Lin swung his sword, and several evil spirits shot out, but when they hit the blood, they only caused tiny ripples. His body also rose up, but the speed of the carp in the air was really not good. Even though Chi Lian was seriously injured, his desire to survive made his escape speed much faster than his.

Ding Lin had just chased out of the peak when the red snake's light had already reached the adjacent mountain. He had no choice but to stop, full of regret. After all, it was still a little short. Although the red python was already seriously injured and there was no way forward, he was still not perfect if he failed to kill it completely. He was suspended in the air, looking at the blood-colored light with a dim gaze, but at this moment -

"Chat!"

From the opposite mountain, the sound of magpies chirping could be heard.

"Quexian, we've been neighbors for so many years, and you're going to take advantage of me?"

The red python's angry voice sounded.

"I'm adding insult to injury?" Another voice sounded, clear and pleasant, but revealing deep hatred, "We've lived next door to each other for so many years, and you've always bullied me. Even my Lingque Peak was almost renamed Snake Head Peak. I was originally planning to move, but I didn't expect that you would be the first to suffer such a miserable fate. It's true that karma comes in cycles, and retribution will come. You have come to this day!"

Seeing that things were hopeless, Ding Lin had originally planned to give up the chase, but unexpectedly, another variable arose.

Without hesitation, he leaped up and chased after him.
