In the influence of Mo Kai, Cang Ji felt that he hadn’t cared enough or pampered Xu Baiyan enough. Today he came to visit Xu Baiyan and took the opportunity to ask about the progress of the Extreme Dao Spiritual Cannon.
But unexpectedly, Xu Baiyan’s speed of progress was frightening.
Compared to the last fight with Hong Guo, there was another significant growth.
Was she motivated by Hong Guo, shamed into courage?
This was indeed a good thing.
"I will certainly kill that beast called Hong Guo."
Xu Baiyan’s face was expressionless.
She actually had to thank the Spirit Slave Demon; during the assimilation with her life Qi Blood, her Qi Blood also increased substantially.
This was an unexpected delight.
"A mere Wandering Martial Artist, rootless and without a home, is not worth worrying about.
"I came this time to ask you about the progress of the Spiritual Cannonball?"
Cang Ji asked pleasantly.
"At most seven days, the Spiritual Cannonball can be completed.
"Please remember your promise, not to harm Su Qingfeng, not to harm Su Yue."
Xu Baiyan stared intently at Cang Ji.
"Don’t worry, I never lie."
Cang Ji nodded.
It seems his daughter still holds some grudges against him.
This should change slowly; having a temper is fitting for his daughter.
At the latest, seven days.
That’s quite good news.
"I will soon break through to the apex; just wait and see."
Standing up, Cang Ji turned and left the basement.
He understood Xu Baiyan’s unfamiliarity with him, but there’s no helping it; he was still using Xu Baiyan after all.
Once he breaks through, he can take Xu Baiyan to the Eight Races Sacred Land; at that time, he can slowly repair the father-daughter relationship.
Now, having Xu Baiyan be warm to him seemed a bit hypocritical.
Whew!
After Cang Ji had been gone for a long time, Xu Baiyan let out a deep breath.
She glanced at the Spirit Slave Demon mark in her palm, actually quite frightened.
Luckily, the Spirit Slave Demon was reliable and wasn’t detected by Cang Ji, really a false alarm.
As for the Spiritual Cannonball, Xu Baiyan had to quickly charge it.
No one knows when Yuan Xingzi will die, once she succeeds in charging early, Cang Ji can release the Extreme Dao Spiritual Cannon earlier.
"Brother, you must pay attention to safety while you’re out there."
Xu Baiyan prayed again, hoping Su Yue would be safe.
...
Wetlands.
Red Mud Swamp.
This is a 200-mile-wide desolate red area; besides some bizarre jagged plants, there are not many demon beasts.
Speaking of it, the Red Mud Swamp is actually the forbidden zone of the Wetlands.
The reason why no demon beasts live here is because the swamp hides too many terrifying poisonous insects and ants.
But no one expected, a fourth-rank human actually stumbled all the way to the central area of the swamp.
"Can’t die, must not die, must live, must go to save Xu Baiyan."
Yang Lezhi chewed on three pills, holding several glowing stones in his hand.
The expensive equipment he bought, most of which had already been consumed along the way.
There were simply too many poisons in the Red Mud Swamp, and in the early stages, these preparations helped Yang Lezhi dispel poisonous creatures, which is why he could reach this point.
But Yang Lezhi had already staked everything, betting his life.
All the early preparations could only support Yang Lezhi to reach the central area. If he couldn’t find clues to the ultimate combat technique, he could only end up burying himself here.
No way back.
The pills in his mouth were the last three.
The consumables on his body were also the last batch.
Succeed, or die trying.
Behind Yang Lezhi, the dark red sludge churned like waves.
Yang Lezhi knew, beneath the mud were countless poisonous snakes and insects, probably driven hungry, tracking him all the way here.
Unfortunately, due to the strength of the consumables, these poisons dared not get close to him.
"All celestial gods and buddhas, I, Yang Lezhi, won’t name you all one by one, but please, any immortals who can hear, protect my success.
"No, I, Yang Lezhi, will definitely succeed."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Lezhi very solemnly took out his last preparation from his waist.
The items in the Beast Selection Bag could be set up into an array for summoning the ultimate combat technique.
On Earth, Yang Lezhi had simulated it countless times.
He easily completed the setup.
Buzz!
Then, using the combat technique of Sand Jutsu, Yang Lezhi condenses his Qi Blood on the Spiritual Qi array, which was the final step of activation.
Yang Lezhi trembled all over, he almost forgot to breathe.
One second.
Two seconds.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Looking around, the red mud’s trembling grew more intense; it was obvious the poisons could hardly restrain themselves from rioting.
But the Spiritual Qi array showed no abnormalities.
Yang Lezhi’s mind went blank from fear.
Could it be, that he was tricked by the mask?
Tear tear tear!
Just then, the deworming items on Yang Lezhi lost their effect.
Some oddly shaped scorpions were the first to leap, attacking fiercely toward Yang Lezhi’s face.
Yang Lezhi’s face was filled with despair.
Is he really going to die?
He could even see the sinister gleam reflected from the scorpions’ shells, how terrifying these basketball-sized scorpions were.
Just then, a miracle happened.
The scorpions, at a distance of three meters away, instantly froze in mid-air.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Not just the scorpions.
Other oncoming poisons were also frozen above Yang Lezhi.
His Spiritual Qi array, with a radius of ten meters.
The densely layered poisons, heavily surrounding Yang Lezhi, were like a large cauldron cover, perched overhead.
"So the array was already activated."
Yang Lezhi broke out in a cold sweat, completely exhausted.
Fizz fizz fizz!
Fizz fizz fizz!
The next moment, the red mud beneath Yang Lezhi began to churn.
A few seconds later, scarlet liquid floated out of the red mud while the mud under Yang Lezhi’s feet dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The moisture was drawn into the air, while the red earth remained on the ground.
This was the Wetlands, after all.
Underfoot appeared dry red sandy soil, and Yang Lezhi was stunned by this spectacle.
"What, have me form a mount?
"Using this swarm of insects?"
Suddenly, a command appeared in Yang Lezhi’s mind.
A very magical feeling, he didn’t know where this command came from, nor what language it was in, it felt like an innate memory.
"I see, the ultimate combat technique is indeed profound."
This command was based on the Sand Jutsu combat technique, so Yang Lezhi could comprehend it; in fact, he had already learned it, just happened to trigger it under specific conditions.
"Using the red water as a foundation to bind this swarm of poisonous insects together to form a mount to help me escape here!"
Yang Lezhi’s heart raced.
There indeed was a way out.
All along, he had been doubting.
If he realized the ultimate combat technique, how could he leave this swamp?
Now, the combat technique had given him the answer.
"What mount should I form?"
According to the direction, the first step involved forming a mount.
Looking up at the countless ugly poisonous creatures, Yang Lezhi was troubled, as the shape of the mount could be anything he desired.
"Why not...make a very flashy motorcycle? A Harley kind?
"Though unsure what the power source would be, riding a bike in the Wetlands, I, Yang Lezhi, would surely be the coolest on the battlefield, and even Xu Baiyan would have some face."
Yang Lezhi slapped his forehead.
These creatures were all hideous, the motorcycle formed would surely be one of great wickedness.
I, Yang Lezhi, will be a knight.
