Chapter 68 [068] Three Paths Dragon
Zhongli Jin broke his finger to let the blood out, and then placed the blood on Luo Zhenyue's forehead.

The boy's fingertips were cold, but his blood was warm.

Luo Zhenyue seemed to have not felt that kind of warmth for a long time.

"Zhenyue, when did you fall in love with me?"

when?

Luo Zhenyue couldn't remember either.

Perhaps it was because she first met him when she was young that she was struck by how handsome he was, or perhaps after meeting him several times later, she became more and more fascinated by the boy's gentleness.

The Love Gu was obtained by chance when she went to the mortal world. Although she had heard of the secret technique of Gu worms in the mortal world before, it came from the mortal world after all, so she never took it seriously.

But this time, somehow, an uncontrollable evil thought kept lingering in her heart. It seemed like there were voices whispering in her ears, hiding in the dark corners of her heart, urging, threatening, and bewitching her, asking her to do everything she could to keep Zhong Li Jin by her side.

But in the end it failed.

The sounds materialized into balls of demonic energy that burst out from the body.

Luo Zhenyue looked at Zhongli Jin beside her. The young man had blood on his fingertips and was painting seriously on yellow paper with his eyes lowered.

From the boy's dark eyes, she suddenly saw her current appearance——

The bulging eyeballs, the bloated body covered with fish scales, the skin secreting mucus, and the face that almost resembles a fish.

It was so terrifying and hideous that her eyes suddenly widened!
"This... No, no! Why am I like this?!" She screamed, making a loud noise.

The demonic energy around him suddenly intensified, roaring more fiercely and terrifyingly, and even turned into a sharp blade and cut Zhongli Jin's wrist!
"Zhenyue!" Zhongli Jin called out anxiously, "Calm down!"

"How can I calm down?! How can I possibly calm down?! Why did I become like this?! Why did I become a fish?!" Her memory seemed to be confused and her spirit was further shocked.

Shi Qing felt the increasingly oppressive demonic energy around him.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, clenched the sword in her hand, and then in the next second suddenly thrust it hard into the wooden floor of the fairy ship!

With the spirit sword as the center and a radius of ten feet, rays of spiritual light radiate in all directions like cracks in a spider web!

A strong wind howled, making Shi Qing's clothes and long hair sway constantly. She loosened her hands, twisted her fingertips, and the bandages on her limbs broke apart at the connection with her wrists, forming four sharp sword blades that pierced through the monsters formed by the gathering of demonic energy!
"Zhongli Jin." She spoke faster, her eyes serious. "Hold on tight."

Those two words fell into the ears of the young man.

He finally finished drawing the last stroke of the talisman.

There was a red spot between Luo Zhenyue's eyebrows, that was the blood from the boy's fingertips.

The soul-stripping method will cause the recipient to experience severe pain.

But this is currently the only way to save Luo Zhenyue’s soul.

Zhongli Jin had a serious look on his face as he placed the talisman on the girl's head.

Luo Zhenyue became more and more crazy, and she was completely scared by her own reflection and collapsed.

The young man stretched out his hand, forcibly held down her restless body, and said anxiously in a gentle and comforting tone: "Don't be afraid, Zhenyue, it will be fine soon.
You won’t be like this anymore soon! "

But now she seemed unable to hear Zhong Li Jin's words. Her whole body was trembling, her teeth were chattering, and she was extremely terrified.

The boy could only mobilize his spiritual power and inject it into the talisman!

Then he held Luo Zhenyue's body tightly with his hands to prevent her from becoming too frightened and agitated.

The sticky liquid on the girl's body, like fish scales, stained his hands.

However, at this time, Zhongli Jin had no time to care about his insignificant little cleanliness obsession.

Life is at stake.

Reincarnation.

Compared to this, what is that?
The young man spoke in a low voice, his eyes solemn and serious. He stared at the yellow talisman on the girl's head and began to read word by word -

"The curse is cast upon the netherworld, the night is as dark as ink, the ancient method of starlight is used to strip away the soul and split the spirit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the talisman took effect, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped Luo Zhenyue!

The surrounding evil energy began to attack the young man frantically!
When the soul-stripping began, they naturally would not allow Luo Zhenyue's remaining soul to leave this body, otherwise they would not be able to parasitize on a simple fish body!
However, at this time, the luminous cracks on the ground created by the spirit sword suddenly shot out rays of spiritual light upwards, as if forming a huge spiritual power shield.

The evil spirit that tried to rush back into Luo Zhenyue's body and attack Zhong Lijin was instantly dispersed by the light shield. The powerful spiritual power was like a giant mouth that swallowed up the evil spirit and wrapped them all up.

A strong vibration occurred, Shi Qing stabilized his body and mind, raised his foot and stepped towards the ground!
The circular-shaped fluctuations mixed with dust and smoke actually maintained the balance of the entire fairy ship at a certain moment!

The pain of soul-stripping is severe.

Luo Zhenyue screamed in pain: "It hurts! Brother Zhongli! It hurts so much!!"

"Be patient, Zhenyue." Zhongli Jin comforted her and sped up the soul-stripping process.

[This soul-stripping method is the same as the spiritual root transplantation method. It is an evil and unorthodox method. Now that the situation is special, I agree with you to use it. Young man, you must not continue to do it in the future! ]

[I understand!] Zhongli Jin gritted his teeth slightly.

Luo Zhenyue's face was twisted in pain, as the remnant soul gradually separated from her body and the original shape of the buried fish became clearer and clearer.

Her upper and lower teeth clenched together so tightly that the teeth almost broke!

As the residual soul emerged, Luo Zhenyue only felt his mind was in a daze, and in an instant he seemed to remember something.

For example, the terrifying Santu Jiao in the Santu River, the pungent smell of fish in the freezing cold river water, and the group of terrifying fish monsters swimming towards her in her vision before she died...

She was suddenly startled!
His eyes widened, and at this moment he seemed to have forgotten the pain of having his soul stripped away, and instead murmured in disbelief: "...So that's it."

"I would have died a long time ago."

After learning that Zhongli Jin's cultivation was abolished and his spiritual roots were destroyed by the evil cultivator, and that his engagement was broken off by Sanqing Mountain.

The girl, angry and distressed about the boy, went to Huangquan Valley to look for figs that could help Zhongli Jin.

But the figs would take another two years to mature, so her fellow practitioners did not agree with her going.

But she didn't listen. What if someone else picked it two years later?
Then go and guard it now.

However, in the Sandu River in Huangquan Valley, she was bitten by the sulfur centipede and her life was hanging by a thread. The Sandu dragon broke out of the water, and her brothers and sisters were swallowed alive by the dragon in order to save it, and no trace of their bodies was left.

The senior brothers who have doted on her since she was a child.

Because of her willful behavior, she died in the Yellow Spring Valley.

and so.

She regretted it.

Before she died, she kept calling Zhongli Jin's name.

She finally understood why she was so obsessed with the boy.

Maybe it was because I liked him and felt sorry for him that I came here to look for figs.

But after her fellow brothers lost their lives, she realized the consequences of her willfulness.

She didn't become obsessed because she loved Zhong Lijin. She just couldn't accept it.

I am unwilling to die here with my fellow brothers.

If...if she still couldn't get Zhong Lijin after paying such a painful price, then wouldn't her life and the lives of her fellow brothers be in vain in the end? ! !
She didn't want to be in vain.

Therefore, the moment the Love Poison failed and she knew that she would never get Zhongli Jin, her obsession was shattered and she collapsed completely.

“Senior Brother Su…” She cried, “Senior Brother Chen…Senior Brother Mu, Senior Brother Dai…”

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's all my fault..."

The great sorrow overwhelmed the pain of having the soul stripped from the body.

The last step is to successfully separate her remaining soul from the body of the buried fish.

But at this moment - the water of the Sanzu River, which had begun to surge, flooded both banks!
The ground shook, and the fish buried in the water jumped out of the water and fell to the ground as if they were extremely frightened.

The moment they landed, they actually grew long and thin limbs!
The posture was weird and scary.

Cangying's face turned pale. Although she had learned a little bit about the Burial Fish when reading books about plants and trees in Huangquan Valley, that book never mentioned that this thing could come ashore!!!

Shi Qing pulled out the white sword stuck on the wooden board and looked at the river with cold eyes.

The water of the Sanzu River was surging, creating huge waves and shaking the earth. The fairy ship had to take off into the air to avoid the deadly fish rushing towards them.

The next second, a giant dragon suddenly jumped out of the water with its long tail swinging!
Everyone looked up and saw a ten-foot-long dragon hovering above the canyon. Its body was huge and twisted, and its skin was a dark blue-black color covered with mottled scales that gleamed eerily in the dim light.

The dragon's head was huge and ferocious, its eyes were like two burning will-o'-the-wisp fires, and its pupils flashed with coldness and cruelty. Its mouth was wide and sharp, and its rows of sharp teeth were as sharp as blades, as if they could easily tear apart any prey that stood in its way.

There are several sharp thorns growing on its back, which flicker with faint light in the darkness. Its tail is also strong and powerful. If it hits the cliff next to it with force, it can instantly cause the valley bottom to shake!

"It's the Three Paths Flood Dragon!" Cangying said in astonishment, "It should be guarding deep in the Yellow Springs Valley, why would it suddenly come to this outer area?!"

Disciple Xu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid he was attracted here by the overwhelming demonic energy."

Huangquan Valley is inherently yin.

Demons and monsters materialize.

The Three Paths Dragon lives here. In addition to absorbing the evil spirit of the Yellow Springs Valley for cultivation, the demonic energy is also a great thing for it.

The ghost dragon opened its huge mouth and the roar was as deafening as thunder!
A pair of ghost eyes stared at the fairy ship floating in the air and the people, and then rushed towards them suddenly!

Shi Qing held the sword, his eyes cold and sharp.

The bandage strips turned into sharp blades to separate the evil spirits, and she herself held the sword to meet the enemy!
The golden elixir burst out with huge golden light in the body, and the spiritual power spread out instantly. The figure of the girl was like a green light, extremely sharp, supporting a sword light to resist the sharp teeth of the dragon!
Chen Xiang took the opportunity to attack the dragon's weak spot!
The long sword drew a cold arc in the sky, but in the next second it ignited a raging flame!
A raging fire burst out from the hilt, making the sword even hotter. The sword pierced into the body of the Sandu Jiao. It let out a terrible roar, its eyes turned red, and it shook its body violently to throw Shen Xiang away!

At the same time, the force of the bite increased, as if it was going to bite Shi Qing's sword into pieces in the next second.

The girl lowered her eyes slightly and realized this, so streaks of frost spread out from the hilt of her sword, forming ice cones, like wooden sticks standing upright in the mouth of the Three-Path Dragon. Shi Qing took the opportunity to retract her hand, and the ice cone was bitten into pieces by the dragon at the moment she retracted her hand. The broken ice chips pierced into the mouth of the Three-Path Dragon, and it seemed to become more and more angry, and began to stir up the canyon, making it even more turbulent and shaking.

The sharp scales on his body suddenly rose up and turned into countless sharp flying knives that shot towards Shi Qing and Shen Xiang.

The number was too huge, and the speed was difficult to capture with the naked eye. I'm afraid that Luo Zhenyue's senior brother who died at that time was pierced by those scales like a sieve, which injured his tendons, veins and bones, and he was unable to fight back for a while and died here.

The spiritual power shield can block this rain-like attack over a large area.

Shi Qing turned around and pushed Shen Xiang beside him onto the fairy boat.

Shen Xiang was shocked, “Shi Qing?!!”

The girl in green had cold eyes, some bandages had fallen, revealing the black spells on her limbs.

The few of them actually had no chance of winning against the Three Paths Dragon, which had been cultivating for more than 500 years, and Shi Qing couldn't be stupid enough to waste time fighting it here.

The current plan is to buy time for the fairy ship to escape from here.

"You go ahead." Shi Qing said, "I'll follow."

The spiritual power suddenly appeared, and the fairy ship was guided to fly quickly towards the depths of the Yellow Spring Valley, far away from here!
The Sandu Jiao wanted to follow but was stopped by Shi Qing.

A first-level spell, your cultivation level will rise by one major level in a short period of time!
Half open rose by two. Shi Qing’s current limit is half open. In order to have the strength to catch up with the fairy ship later, she will save some strength for herself before being forced into a desperate situation.

"Wait--!!" Shen Xiang wanted to rush back, but a bandage was wrapped around her waist, preventing her from leaving.

That was Shi Qing's bandage. The five senses were connected, so Chen Xiang couldn't bear to cut it off.

"Shi Qing!!!" Her eyes were red, and she seemed to see the cave where she had killed the demon wolf that night again.

The heart-wrenching pain at that time once again surged into my heart.

Cangying stepped forward to stop Shen Xiang and shouted, "If she asks you to stay, then you should stay! Shiqing still has the teleportation talisman! The best way now is for us to quickly drive the fairy ship away from the dragon, and then she can use the teleportation talisman to rush over! Otherwise, no one will be able to escape!"

From the moment Shi Qing asked them to go first, Cangying knew what this guy was thinking.

Because Shi Qing's sword practice was never just for slaying demons and monsters.

More importantly, it is to protect the safety of everyone behind you.

Shi Qing would never rush in without thinking, let alone overestimating his own limitations by challenging the Three Paths Dragon who had practiced for 500 years with his cultivation of just over a decade!

She has a brain and knows clearly when to rush and when to avoid.

Now is the time to avoid war.

If Cangying and the others leave first, Shiqing can successfully escape from there and get rid of the Three Paths Flood.

The fairy ship moved forward at full speed and broke into the depths of the Yellow Spring Valley.

The colors in the depths are brilliant and colorful. The vegetation and animals seem to be wearing a layer of poisonous colorful clothes.

The fairy ship was docked between a narrow cliff, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Zhongli Jin has reached the last step of stripping his soul, and this step is extremely difficult.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. It was originally used to hold elixirs, but at this moment, he could only use it to temporarily hold Luo Zhenyue's remaining soul.

Accompanied by the girl's last shrill scream.

The residual soul was successfully separated from the fish body!
The young man seized the moment, gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips, and led the remaining soul into the porcelain bottle in his hand!
The whole process requires full concentration and all the strength in the body to complete it, otherwise if even a little bit of the residual soul is leaked, it will be difficult to capture it again.

Fortunately, this moment is lucky.

The residual soul entered the porcelain bottle, and the fish body completely turned into a dried fish corpse.

Chen Xiang waved his sleeves and used his spiritual power to throw the corpse off the fairy ship in anger.

At the same time, Cangying told Shiqing that they had found a relatively secluded and narrow place where the water of the Santu River did not flow through, so they could avoid the Santu Dragon very well.

"it is good."

The girl's slightly weak voice came through the sound transmission stone.

The next second, a hoarse voice called out to Cangying's ears: "Sanqing Mountain, Cangying."

Here we come!! W An An! ~~

At this time, according to the address reported by Zhongli Jin, Sect Leader Luo hurriedly brought his disciples to teleport and rushed over: "..."

——No, where are the people? !!! Why are they all gone? ! Where is my daughter? ! ! Where did this dragon come from? ! !
