I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

Cheng Ran negated the skill by relying on his powerful numerical values.

but.

The female cultivators from Yaochi around them weren't so lucky.

In less than ten breaths.

These female cultivators, their eyes unfocused, collapsed to the ground one by one.

"Blood and qi enter the body... phantoms haunt the mind... a ruthless move."

Cheng Ran muttered to himself.

He had read about spells with similar effects in ancient books.

Its name is Blood Prison Curse, a low-grade Earth-level spell, and one of the signature spells of the Yin-Yang Sect.

only......

To cast this spell, one should theoretically need at least the Nascent Soul cultivation level.

But none of the women from Yaochi on that flying boat possessed the Nascent Soul realm...

"Oh, right."

Thinking about this, Cheng Ran suddenly understood what was going on.

The system intelligence mentioned that Ye Chen would obtain an "Illusion Talisman" during his trip to Yaochi.

That means the undercover agent probably used the "Illusionary Talisman" to imitate the Blood Prison Curse.

That's still a bit perverted.

Imitating a skill is indeed a good mechanism.

"There aren't many. We'll just grab this one later too."

"The spirit of Cao Cao shouldn't only apply to protagonists like Ye Chen..."

"It also applies to the Yin-Yang Sect."

Cheng Ran had finalized his plan. He extended his index finger and lightly touched the forehead of a female cultivator who had fainted, then closed his eyes to sense her surroundings...

A faint trail of blood appeared before their eyes, extending outside the banquet hall.

"Let's go, senior."

Cheng Ran put the female cultivator down.

Immediately, he stepped onto the Dragon Scale Divine Sword that rose into the air.

......

......

Outside the banquet hall, by the lake.

Su Chan'er clutched her chest, several scratches appearing on her cheeks.

But as the bloodthirsty aura surged up, the wounds began to slowly heal.

As for Ye Chen on the other side.

They appeared even more disheveled.

The boy's sword armor was torn open, and his body was covered with bloody marks left by the demonic energy that had transformed into blades!

However, such minor injuries are nothing to Ye Chen, a chosen one of destiny.

It's nothing at all!

"For my master's sake, and for Yunxi's sake, I can't let you, you vixen, go!"

Ye Chen's eyes widened in anger, and he charged at Su Chan'er once again with his sword.

Su Chan'er was dumbfounded.

Logically speaking...

With injuries like this, an ordinary person should be unable to move.

But for some reason, Ye Chen seemed to have an even stronger desire to fight the more severe his injuries became...

He shouted something like "Master" and "Senior Sister" and then threw it in her face.

"No, we can't let this drag on any longer..."

She muttered to herself.

Immediately, demonic energy condensed in his hand, and a bloody mist swirled around him. After unpredictable changes, it condensed into a blood-red magic sphere.

Su Chan'er raised her arm, and the magic array beneath her appeared, unleashing a terrifying force of blood-fiend energy.

Rumbling--

Ye Chen was no match for this powerful demonic energy and was directly blasted away.

His body crashed straight into a tree by the lake.

"ah!!"

A sharp pain struck, and Ye Chen felt as if several of his ribs were broken.

To be honest, it was a tough battle. He hadn't expected that even with the help of Elder Fu, he was still no match for this demoness.

He pointed his sword at the ground and forced himself to stand up.

But the blood stained the sword robe red and dripped uncontrollably onto the ground.

Ye Chen, panting heavily, said:

"hateful......"

"Is this the end...?"

From within the ring, the aged voice also seemed somewhat weak:

"Young friend, I have given you all the spiritual power I have accumulated in recent days."

"Unless you can break through two realms and reach the Foundation Establishment realm, I cannot grant you greater power..."

"Breaking through two realms in succession?"

Ye Chen murmured with a wry smile.

After becoming a cripple, he spent several years cultivating.

He has only advanced four minor realms.

They said they'd break through two realms in a row? How is that even possible...?

Blood was still dripping from his body, and Ye Chen felt that he was probably going to die here.

He closed his eyes unwillingly.

Just then.

In his mind, several fragments of memory suddenly became clearer from being blurry.

That was at Sword Inquiry Peak, where his master gave him a sword and a robe, saying that from now on he would be his disciple!

That was in the Valley of the Immortals, where the fairy sister was playing the zither amidst a sea of ​​flowers, and he was quietly watching the most beautiful fireworks in the human world!

That was in Medicine King Valley, when Mu Yunxi awakened her Holy Body, causing Qian Yue to soar into the sky and obtain the elixir to continue his cultivation path!

That was his past with his sister and his fiancée, a past he could never sever ties with!

No!

A true man should never die so easily!

Ye Chen opened his eyes again.

His eyes were filled with endless rage.

He hasn't married any of these women yet, and he hasn't even impeached that scoundrel Cheng Ran's second brother!

How could I possibly die here?

"If the sky oppresses me, I will cleave the sky! If the earth binds me, I will shatter the earth!"

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!"

"Nine levels of Qi Refining! Broken!!!"

As golden light shone forth, Ye Chen's cultivation level suddenly increased.

Within the ring, Elder Fu's voice trembled:

"What?!"

"Young friend, you actually managed to break through your cultivation level in such a desperate situation!"

"Moreover... it's not just a simple breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Refining... it's even faintly touching the threshold of Foundation Establishment!"

Su Chan'er's eyes trembled at this moment, and she realized that something was wrong.

Ye Chen is low on health but not only can he not be killed!

They might even break through!

"Damn it! Who gathered this intelligence?! This person isn't a complete waste!"

Su Chan'er quickly released a burst of demonic energy, which aimed directly at Ye Chen.

thump—

A burst of golden light enveloped him, and Elder Fu exerted his power once more.

"Young friend, break through quickly! This old man can't hold on much longer!"

"Of course!"

Ye Chen answered firmly.

He knew that he had not been abandoned by fate. He was a genius, and from this moment on, he would take back everything he had lost!

Within his dantian, spiritual energy was abundant, and he was about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage!

however.

Just then.

Suddenly, he felt a burning heat surging within his dantian.

At the same time, the flow of spiritual energy within the body began to reverse, and after a period of chaos, it converged simultaneously in a specific place!

He feels like he's rising every morning.

As solid as a rock!

Ye Chen's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Elder Fu, why is my spiritual root...?"

Master Fu then realized that something was amiss, and after a moment's thought, offered a hypothesis:

"Young friend... there is an unlikely possibility."

"You seem to have been... poisoned by the dragon scales' aphrodisiac!"

Dragon Scale Poison?

How is that possible?

Ye Chen's eyes trembled.

He didn't think that any of the people he came into contact with could get his hands on real dragon scales.

But he couldn't worry about that right now: "Then why am I in this situation?"

"this......"

Elder Fu seemed to be pondering something, and after hesitating for a long while, he explained:

"If it's ordinary erotic poison, it will have almost no impact on breakthroughs."

"But......"

"Dragons are inherently lustful. If the powerful lustful poison from the dragon scales were to take effect during the breakthrough..."

"It will cause the spiritual energy within the body to converge towards the most yang areas!"

"Then destroy it!"

"What?!?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart trembled violently, unable to believe Elder Fu's words.

Destroy...my spiritual root?

Doesn't that mean...?

For a moment, he felt the world was completely silent, and he could only hear his own heartbeat gradually getting louder.

In the blink of an eye, his mood changed from the joy of about to break through to the despair of falling into the abyss!

To know.

He has so many female confidantes.

Master, Senior Sister, Younger Sister, Fiancée, Fairy Sister...

Although he wasn't after these women's beauty, he would have been willing to go through with it if they forced him to!

But after losing the spiritual root...

He would then have absolutely no chance of enjoying this joy again!

Ye Chen was really panicked!

He asked in a flustered manner:

"Elder Fu, is there any way to stop this situation from happening?"

"Well......"

The elderly man, who was in abstinence, hesitated to speak.

He was just a remnant soul, what could he possibly do?

Ye Chen felt even more anxious, his chest tight with pain as if he were about to suffocate.

"No! Elder Fu! You must have a way, right?"

"..."

The air was still.

Silence was Master Fu's answer.

Just then.

Golden light gathered around Ye Chen, gradually shrinking and condensing into a single point!

The powerful spiritual energy is like a raging fire that burns everything!

That excruciating pain!

It is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than a mere demonic energy blade mark!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"No!!!"

Ye Chen clutched his lower body and let out a blood-curdling scream.

8=D→8

Xiao Ye is dead!

......

Meanwhile, Su Chan'er on the other side was completely confused and didn't quite understand what kind of pain Ye Chen had suffered!

"Why is he covering that up? Would he do that during a breakthrough?"

However, she didn't have time to think about it further.

To her, Ye Chen was full of flaws at this moment.

Don't try to reason with the Demonic Sect about martial ethics; they love to launch sneak attacks!

In her hand, the blood-fiend demonic energy gathered once more, transforming into a blood-red blade that slashed towards Ye Chen.

This time, however, there was no longer any golden light protecting Elder Fu.

shhhhh--

Blood splattered as Ye Chen was slashed with a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Finally, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground like a stray dog.

"call......"

Seeing Ye Chen fall, Su Chan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"When he broke through earlier, it really gave me a fright. I thought this piece of trash could actually beat me..."

"So it seems, trash is still trash..."

"Next, I need to go find my senior brother Cheng~"

Talking to herself, Su Chan'er's lips curled up slightly as she prepared to head towards the banquet hall.

In the blink of an eye.

She felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being watched by a thousand eyes.

At the same time, a mocking voice also came:

"Wow, Junior Sister Su, it really is you!"
