Chapter 635 The Ingenious Uses of the Iron Gourd
"Shh."
However, we were still a step too late.
The old man's claws were already gripping Ning Qi's body tightly.
Although he was protected by his armor, he was still sent flying by a single claw.
As he flew away, he checked his wounds.
The armor is fine, but the chest is indeed injured.
Inside the wound, blood and qi were still churning, gushing out along the wound.
The old man was guiding her every step of the way.
His palms continuously drew Ning Qi's blood and qi, directly into his chest.
"Tsk tsk, not bad."
The old man seemed to be savoring a delicious treat, even showing a hint of intoxication.
"I am coming."
Upon seeing this, Yao Ling immediately poured her life force into the piercing wound in Ning Qi's chest.
This prevented his wound from worsening.
However, blood and energy were still being continuously consumed.
"Haha, this is our innate supernatural ability."
"You can't resist it."
The old man laughed wildly, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "I will suck you dry and turn you into my puppet to vent my hatred."
This made it impossible for the old man not to hate him.
Ning Qi sabotaged the old man's plan at a crucial moment.
Especially since Ning Qi forcibly woke him up before he had even woken up.
The root cause of his plan's failure lies in Ning Qi's existence.
"Is that so? Then we'll see if you have the ability."
Ning Qi couldn't help but smile upon hearing his words.
Right now, the only one who can help him get out of this predicament is Shi Xiaokun.
"Then let's go!"
The elderly man ignored him and continued to intensify his efforts.
Even with the help of the medicinal spirit, it was all in vain.
Soon, Ning Qi's face turned deathly pale.
"Be careful."
Seeing this, Xu Wanrou gritted her teeth and came over to help.
"Get out of my way, you brat!"
The old man roared and flung her away, saying, "I let you go so you could help me find more people to be devoured by us."
"You've brought me a lot of trouble. I'll deal with you later."
"I will plant my blood and bones in your body, making you my mother, and I will never let you go."
His words revealed a hint of greed.
There was a hint of wickedness flickering in his eyes.
"Shi Xiaokun".
While the old man was distracted, Ning Qi quickly contacted Shi Xiaokun.
"Owner!"
Shi Xiaokun responded within his sea of consciousness.
"My bloodline has been devoured by him, and I am temporarily unable to move freely."
"Help me take that iron gourd out, then merge it into my blood and energy so that I can devour it."
Ning Qi then instructed, "Let him taste the water of the Li River."
"Master, this will also harm you."
Shi Xiaokun quickly reminded him.
"It's alright, don't forget, I have the Chaotic Flame protecting me."
"It won't have much of an impact on me."
Ning Qi reminded him.
"Okay, I'm coming."
After agreeing, Shi Xiaokun took out Ning Qi's iron gourd and then merged it with his blood and qi.
Meanwhile, Ning Qi was not idle either, and he activated the Chaos Flame within his body.
His body was protected, especially his blood and qi, which were completely preserved.
"Sizzle".
The blood and qi that had been drawn out of the body were then infused into it by Shi Xiaokun using water from the Lijiang River.
It was then directly absorbed by the old man.
After being absorbed by the river water, he didn't notice anything at first.
After a while, he realized something was wrong.
"Sizzle".
At this moment, his body was in turmoil, and the feeling of his power being imprisoned and his body being corroded terrified him.
"what happened?"
The old man stared wide-eyed at the changes in his body in disbelief.
"Old man, you've heard of the Lijiang River, haven't you!"
Ning Qi looked at the old man and asked with a smile.
"Lijiang water? You used Lijiang water on this old man!"
Only then did the old man realize what was happening, and a solemn look immediately appeared in his eyes.
He never expected that Ning Qi would possess the Lijiang River.
"That's right, we're using water from the Lijiang River for you!"
After responding, Ning Qi continued, "You must have heard about the power of the Lijiang River, right? Now you'll be able to experience it for yourself."
"Hmph, you think you can make me lose like this? It's just that part of my body has been corroded by the Lijiang River."
"I don't need it!"
The old man snorted coldly, then suddenly his body stiffened.
The next moment, his body began to dissipate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It transformed into countless threads, and finally into countless stars.
It was as if it were about to disappear into the void.
"Oh no, he's trying to escape."
Yao Ling quickly said.
"He is not trying to escape, but rather to abandon his current body."
“Look around here, some food spirits have already arrived, and even more blood and energy are surging in this direction.”
"He has clearly abandoned his current body, waiting for all the spirit food and blood energy to gather around him."
"Then, he will probably have to reassemble a body."
Xu Wanrou noticed something amiss immediately and analyzed it with Ning Qi.
"Master, we can't let him succeed!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Ling quickly said, "If he succeeds, we will be no match for him."
"Miss Xu, you've notified your people, haven't they? Have they evacuated?"
Ning Qi turned his attention to Xu Wanrou.
"They've already started leaving here, and they should be able to return to the Boundary Sea soon."
Xu Wanrou responded.
"Okay, have you notified our people?"
Ning Qi asked again.
"They've already been notified; they left together."
Xu Wanrou nodded and continued, "They originally contacted me telepathically because they wanted to help."
"However, I still let them leave first."
"After all, there's nothing of value here; it was all a scheme by this old guy."
"That's good, now we can take a step back."
Ning Qi smiled, and then directly opened the entrance to his Sumeru Gate space.
"What are you doing...?"
Xu Wanrou asked, puzzled.
"You go in first, my men will take you to my inner realm, and then I'm going to get rid of that old bastard Fu."
"It's inconvenient for me to do it with you here!"
Ning Qi pointed to the entrance and said in a deep voice, "Go!"
"No, I'm staying. I can still lend you a hand!"
Xu Wanrou shook her head: "How can I leave you here alone to deal with this old lecher?"
"If you stay, you'll keep your master in check. You should listen to him!"
Yao Ling echoed.
"Hurry up, or it will be too late."
Shi Xiaokun also chimed in with a reminder.
"Alright, I'll go now. You must be careful."
After being persuaded by everyone, Xu Wanrou finally agreed.
However, after being reminded, I went in directly.
"call!"
In this way, only Ning Qi and the old man remained.
"Shi Xiaokun, give me the iron gourd."
Ning Qi then waved his hand. "Whoosh!"
The iron gourd flew directly into Ning Qi's hand.
"Boy, you are courting death!"
The old man also noticed something unusual about the gourd.
It roared and charged this way.
"Hmph, open it for me!"
Ning Qi roared and immediately turned the iron gourd upside down.
Under his control, the waters of the Li River inside began to spread towards this place.
In the blink of an eye, the area was filled with the turbulent waters of the Li River.
The spirits summoned by the old man, along with their life force, were devoured by the Lijiang River and instantly corroded, losing their power.
Some even transformed directly into waves of energy and disappeared without a trace.
"That's great, his little bit of vital energy is simply not enough."
Yao Ling clapped her hands on Ning Qi's shoulder and said, "Now let's see what tricks he can pull."
"Kid, I'll fight you to the death."
The old man was furious and rushed towards Ning Qi without regard for anything else.
At this point, he had fallen into despair.
His spirit food surged in like a tide, but it was all shattered by the Lijiang River.
As he attempted to retreat, he discovered that Ning Qi intended to exterminate them all.
The river water was unleashed without reservation, and in the blink of an eye, it devoured the food spirits that were trying to escape.
Most importantly, after they died, they did not turn into blood and qi to be devoured by other food spirits.
In other words, the laws they rely on are ineffective here.
Ning Qi would never give them a chance.
The old man then fell into despair.
Ning Qi had already ruined his plans, which was enough to give him a hard time.
Now, watching helplessly as Ning Qi devours his food spirits, he doesn't even have a chance to escape.
“Master, this old guy is useless now. His strength has fallen to the level of a True Immortal.”
"Even if Dao Bujin comes, we can still kill him."
Yao Ling said with a smile.
"I was originally thinking of cultivating a food spirit myself to use as a puppet."
"But now it seems there's no need for that."
"This kind of puppet consumes too much energy; I don't have enough vital energy to give it to him."
Ning Qi nodded, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "In that case, then disappear!"
After he finished speaking, he manipulated his iron gourd to spray water in the direction the old man was rushing towards.
Under his control, the Li River water transformed into giant dragons, which devoured the old man before him.
In this light, the old man appears very small.
They're practically no different from ants.
"Out of control."
Ning Qi watched the old man rushing towards them and said with a sneer, "Do you think you'll have a chance?"
"call."
The old man didn't say anything, but instead turned himself into a cloud of blood mist.
Then it shot towards Ning Qi.
"Be careful, he's trying to merge into your body!"
Shi Xiaokun immediately realized something was wrong and quickly reminded him.
"Master, be careful!"
The spirit quickly reminded him, while simultaneously transforming its life force into a protective light barrier.
They wanted to keep the blood mist out.
"Chaotic Flames!"
Ning Qi roared.
The chaotic flames were directly activated.
Another barrier formed in front of him.
At the same time, the water from the Li River condensed again, forming three defensive lines in front of him.
"Shh."
The medicine spirit's defenses were utterly ineffective against this blood mist.
They were completely crushed.
When they reached the Chaos Flame, although it blocked some of them, some still managed to break through its defenses.
Finally, there is the Lijiang River.
This time, the vast majority of the blood mist was swallowed up.
The old man's blood mist had almost completely dissipated.
However, some of them were about to reach Ning Qi.
At this point, the old man was nothing but a phantom face.
It was clear that his face was contorted with rage.
There was also a hint of smugness.
"Don't think about it."
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then suddenly retreated.
In the blink of an eye, they had distanced themselves from the old man.
The old man relentlessly pursued Ning Qi, determined to catch up with him.
"What should we do? He's got our eyes on us."
"I'm worried," Yao Ling said.
"Like water, three thousand miles!"
Ning Qi waved his hand, instantly activating the formation.
Suddenly, lines of energy surged around his body.
The ripples on the water distorted the void in front of him.
At this moment, when the old man's blood mist arrived in this void, it began to wander at different angles.
They simply couldn't get directly in front of Ning Qi.
"This is... a distortion of space, combined with the Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation!"
"Master, you're amazing! You can do it with just a wave of your hand!"
Yao Ling noticed something amiss and exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, this is something I prepared long ago, just in case."
Ning Qi smiled and said, "I've been secretly making arrangements ever since last time, and now I've finally succeeded."
"But it's used here."
"That's good too, at least it prevents us from being caught by that old guy!"
"I feel a pang of emotion," the pharmacist remarked.
"Okay, let's go then."
Ning Qi looked at the blood mist in front of him, which was unable to break through the void in front of him, and then said with a smile, "Leave this place of trouble."
"What a disappointment. After all this time, it turns out this place is a trap."
Yao Ling couldn't help but chime in with her own complaints.
"Didn't we get the water from the Lijiang River back?"
Ning Qi said, "It's good to have gained something; it's much better than coming here for nothing."
"Yes, Master."
Shi Xiaokun said, "Then let's retreat too. They should all be out by now."
"withdraw."
After agreeing, Ning Qi returned along the same route.
This time, even the food spirits couldn't stop him.
This realm has been largely eroded by the Li River and has been completely abandoned, becoming an abandoned inner realm.
After leaving this place, Ning Qi flew up and headed towards the outer boundary sea.
Once he reached the void, he summoned Xu Wanrou.
"call!"
A gentle breeze blew by, and Xu Wanrou finally smelled the fresh scent of herbs and fairy grass again.
"So, is it resolved?"
She looked down with lingering fear and found that the river below was already full of water.
"Yes, let him perish along with this place."
Ning Qi nodded, then looked into the void: "Let's retreat too, they should be waiting for us."
"it is good!"
After Xu Wanrou agreed, she glanced down again.
Many of her friends and guards are buried here, but sadly, they will remain here forever.
"Let's go."
Ning Qi gave another shout, and then took the lead in flying into the void.
Xu Wanrou snapped out of her daze and hurriedly chased after him.
They soon arrived at the border sea area, where people were already waiting for their return from afar.
"Commander Lei!"
Zhao Tianlei called out to Ning Qi from afar. (End of Chapter)
