Chapter 284

Long Kongkong used the move 鈥淭he Snake Returns to Its Hole鈥� to avoid the sure-to-kill sword, swayed her slender upper body, and rose to her feet with the momentum.

Her movement was quite unusual. If an ordinary person did such a move, they would be able to see that the force came from the bottom up, that is, the waist and legs, and then they would rise.

However, in Long Kongkong’s case, it was as if the force came from her head, driving her upper body and lower body upright.

In short, it looked like a snake or a python.

As he rose, the snake staff swept out across his waist, his hand grasping the end. The large snake’s head and the two small, viciously waving golden snakes above it swept towards Mie Jie.

Long Kongkong didn’t seek to injure his enemy with this move, only to force Mie Jie to retreat and then seize the Tongxi Earth Dragon Pill.

Mie Jie then took a step back, and Long Kongkong was overjoyed. He was about to perform a move called 鈥淩olling Back the Clouds鈥� and use his long legs to hook the pill, but then he saw Mie Jie’s left hand reach out, her fingers spread open, and the Tongxi Earth Dragon Pill seemed to come to life, jumping of its own accord and falling into Mie Jie’s hands.

Long Kongkong was shocked, and exclaimed, 鈥淧icking up objects in midair? What kind of demon trick is that?鈥�

This girl has spent half her life in the southern borderlands, and yet she doesn’t know that there are such extraordinary skills as 鈥淒ragon Capture鈥� and 鈥淐rane Control鈥� in the world.

However, she would not have known these two skills anyway. Her ability to capture objects came about when she was recovering from her injuries in the snowy north. While pondering the method of using the power of the White Rainbow Palm, she suddenly thought: if this palm power can be released externally, why can’t it be collected internally?

Her internal strength was already extremely high, and after some time of personal contemplation, she realized this technique.

鈥淒emonic technique? You ignorant woman, this is my Emei Sect’s Star-Picking Hand!鈥�

Mie Jie proudly answered, announcing the name Ye Guhong had given it.

Seeing Long Kongkong’s shocked expression, Mie Jie was very pleased with himself. He squeezed the Tongxi Dragon Pill between his fingertips and played with it, and could only smell an indescribable, strange and faint fragrance. He thought to himself, 鈥淭hanks to this Long fellow, otherwise, although I have also seen the Five Immortals’ Secret Manual, I have not paid attention to it. If she hadn’t called out the name, I am afraid that I would not have been able to recognize this treasure even if I was in front of it.

Long Kongkong saw Mie Jie’s arrogant expression and was instantly infuriated.

You must know that the Five Immortals’ teachings are half martial arts and half poison. She was convinced that Ye Guhong was born with a holy body that could withstand any poison, so she had not used poison against him.

Although Mie Jie was even more powerful than Ye Guhong, Long Kongkong was not afraid of her, thanks to her confidence in her mastery of poison.

However, at this moment, once the Tongxi Earth Dragon Pills entered this person’s hands, no poison technique would be effective, so how could Long Kongkong not be anxious?

Unable to hold back his anger, he vented his frustration on King Weisun, saying angrily, 鈥淵ou fat pig, where did you steal the secret methods of my Wuxian Sect and refine such a precious treasure?鈥�

King Weisun hurriedly explained, 鈥淚’m innocent! This object is a family heirloom passed down from my ancestors. My grandfather, Emperor Kublai Khan, seized it from the homes of the Guo and Huang families, who were defending Xiangyang, when he conquered the city. It has been passed down to me.鈥�

Long Kongkong exclaimed in astonishment, 鈥淗eroes Guo and Huang? How did they learn the secret techniques of our sect?鈥�

Mie Jie, however, said happily, 鈥淲hat do you know? Heroes Guo and Huang are peerless heroes, admired by all people of ambition. It is not unusual for someone to give them this treasure as a gift. But in that case, judging from the sect’s founder, this thing is indeed related to our Emei Sect. Today, it is considered to have returned to its rightful owner!鈥�

In fact, even the Demon Buster doesn’t know, if you really want to trace the origin of this treasure, you have to start from the time when the Shaolin novice tricked the Star Demon and inherited it.

At the beginning, the novice obtained the Five Immortals Scripture and practiced powerful kung fu, calling himself the Five Venoms Immortal and rampaging through the Western Regions. In his later years, he suddenly had the ambition to become famous in the future, so he rewrote the Five Immortals Scripture as the Five Venoms Scripture, which he considered to be his own creation and legacy.

Soon after, the ten Shaolin martial monks discovered his whereabouts and joined forces to hunt him down. During the battle, the Five Poisons Scripture was scattered, and many sects in the Western Regions benefited from it.

Among them, the Ouyang family of the Spirit Camel Villa was fortunate enough to obtain the Toad Pill Cauldron Technique, the Snake Demon Staff Method, and the method of driving away and raising snakes, including the method of refining the Tongxi Earth Dragon Pills.

With these few magical skills and the Lingtuo Villa’s own heritage, the owner of the villa, Ouyang, participated in the Huashan Sword Discussion and won the title of 鈥淲estern Poison鈥�, a well-known figure among the world’s five great experts.

The Western Poison once killed a strange beast in the Western Regions and recognized it as the Tongtian Rhinoceros. He then spent several years searching for hundreds of three-footed earth dragons and refined them into this Tongxi Earth Dragon Pill that can ward off all poisons. It is said that there is only one such pill under the heavens.

Later, the Western Poison took his nephew to the Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea to ask for the hand of the daughter of the Eastern Evil. As a token of sincerity, he used this treasure as a betrothal gift.

However, the young female hero, Huang, had already long since set her heart on the young hero, Guo. Guo had the support of the Northern Beggar and the Zhou childish boy behind him, and with a series of fortunate coincidences, he eventually won the test for the Eastern Evil’s son-in-law, and the Eastern Evil returned the treasure to the Western Poison.

Many years later, the Western Poison and the Northern Beggar met on Mount Huashan. They fought for four consecutive days, using nearly 10,000 moves without a clear victor. On the fifth day, they fought for five or six hours, each suffering greatly from internal injuries.

The two men still refused to admit defeat, so they switched to a literary battle, dictating their moves for the Divine Eagle Knight, who happened to be there, to demonstrate one by one, to see who was the best. They continued like this for several days, finally exhausted and drained, but having turned their lifelong grudges into a laugh, they embraced each other and died.

The Divine Eagle Knight buried the two grandmasters and obtained this pill from the West Poison. The Divine Eagle Knight was the adopted son of the West Poison, so he kept it with him as a memento.

Later, when Condor Hero arrived in Xiangyang, he saw that the Mongols repeatedly tried to assassinate Guo Huang, using poison and other underhanded tactics. He knew that Guo was a hero who cared deeply about the safety of the world, so he secretly placed the pill in Guo’s room.

When the female hero Huang saw this object again, she did not know who had sent it, but she knew that the person must have good intentions, so she treasured it carefully. She also relied on this treasure to solve several strange poisons used by the Mongols.

However, after the Condor Hero gave this treasure to someone, he was tortured to death and back to life by the Love Flower Poison for a while, which gave rise to countless stories. This can be considered a case of everything happening for a reason.

The past is gone, and the destruction and Long Kongkong know nothing about the grudges and hatred of these martial arts predecessors.

They only saw that the destruction claimed that this treasure belonged to Emei, and Long Kongkong became even more resentful. He angrily said, 鈥淛ust because you have this treasure in your hands, does that mean I can’t do anything to you?鈥�

He waved his snake staff and attacked, naturally not fearing her. He brandished his sword and engaged her in battle. After a few exchanges, Long Kongkong took advantage of her moment of breath and suddenly passed her snake staff. She sidestepped to avoid it, and Long Kongkong let out a whistle as two small golden snakes suddenly spewed out large golden clouds of smoke.

Even immortals would find it hard to defend against such a technique. Mie Jie inhaled the golden mist, and was shocked. He exerted his full strength and slashed out with his palm. The two little snakes reacted quickly, whizzing back to the snake staff, but the golden mist was fanned by the palm wind and quickly spread.

If it were outside in an open area, the golden mist would naturally dissipate, but this place was a rather narrow mountain path in the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons, only about ten feet high and wide. The mist spread quickly, and Long Kongkong and the three immortals were caught off guard. They let out a cry of surprise together and were all hit.

Long Kongkong instantly felt his hands go weak and his legs go limp. With a clang, his snake staff fell to the ground, but he forgot to close the machine spring. The two little golden snakes swam out again. They probably could not forget the power of the palm strike just now. Frightened, they sprayed golden mist like crazy.

The poor people were already suffering from the effects of the first attack. Their bodies were burning from the inside out, their breathing was naturally rapid, their minds were a little fuzzy, and their reactions were much slower than usual. It took several breaths before they realized the seriousness of the situation.

Ye Guhong was hiding in the python cave. When he peeked out and saw this scene, he was shocked. He quickly crawled out, quickly took off his clothes, wrapped them around the nearby boulder, and stuffed them into the cave as hard as he could, but he was afraid that the fog would enter and harm his little sister-in-law.

He quickly blocked the hole, but the weakest of the inner forces, Xue Wu, suddenly let out a soft moan and pounced on Ye Guhong, hugging him tightly.

Ye Guhong struggled, but Xuewu stuck out her tongue and licked his shoulder, whispering, 鈥淵e brother, why is your sweat a little sweet?鈥�

Ye Guhong saw her cheeks flaming red, her body odor provocative, and the heat in his own lower abdomen suddenly increasing. He gulped hard, pushed Xuewu away, and shouted, 鈥淓veryone listen to me. I have a way to expel this poison. You’re doing it wrong.鈥�

He took a strange posture and recited, 鈥淭he qi rises from the lower abdomen…鈥�

He quickly listed a series of meridian points, but they were exactly the qi-circulating methods in 鈥淭he Yoga of the Divine Foot that Desires Samadhi鈥� that transform desire into merit.

He had obtained this method since his youth, and after neutralizing the golden cicada’s poison, he had specially searched for Buddhist scriptures in the sect to study. He knew that samadhi means sam膩dhi, the essence or true meaning of things.

And the desire for samadhi is precisely the power of desire. People desire to live and fear death. When they are struck by a strange poison, they have no other thoughts in their hearts, only the desire to survive, so they can use this power.

And if you want to improve, you need to keep looking for powerful poisonous insects, which can be extremely troublesome. Ye Guhong had the magnificent and righteous choice of Emei Jiuyanggong at that time, so he simply gave it up and didn’t practice it. It wasn’t until this moment that he took out this set of exercises to save his life.

Destroying the Tribulation. Seeing the strange movements of her disciple, she also remembered that Ye Guhong had once consulted her about this technique, and the technique’s characteristic of 鈥渦sing desire to accelerate movement and transform the poison into power鈥�. Her heart suddenly filled with joy. She suppressed the surging desires in her body, and without caring about the shame, she imitated her disciple’s posture, and imagined the flow of energy in her body according to the energy flow. Sure enough, the hot fireball in her body suddenly split into a line, wandering through her meridians.

As she was dissolving the internal energy, she suddenly felt someone touching her calf. Her heart trembled, and when she opened her eyes, she saw King Weisun, who was red-faced and drooling. She was furious and jumped up, slapping him hard. Her internal energy reached King Weisun, crushing his skull and killing him instantly.

After slapping Wei Shun Wang to death, Mie Jie was about to start moving his internal energy again when suddenly everything went dark. He turned his head and saw that the torches in the hands of Bai She and Yu Chan were falling to the ground one after the other. The two girls’ cheeks were as red as fire and their eyes were intoxicated as they whispered and pounced on Ye Guhong, who was half naked.

Mie Jie couldn’t help but fly into a rage, shouting angrily, 鈥淵ou demon girl, how dare you humiliate my beloved disciple!鈥�

He took a few big steps, ready to kill Bai Snake and the others on the spot. However, before he had taken more than a few steps, he was suddenly embraced from behind. Looking down, he saw Long Kongkong swimming towards him like a snake, wrapping her legs around him.

Long Kongkong was dressed in a light gauze dress, and at this moment, she had disappeared. Her body was hot and pink, and a faint fragrance was emanating from her. Her face was as rosy as a peach blossom. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, 鈥淢y disciple has extraordinary talent, and I will not let you beat and kill her.鈥�

Mie Jie shouted, 鈥淭hen I will kill you first, the culprit!鈥�

She bent down and swung her palm, but Long Kongkong’s body seemed to be boneless. She twirled around Mie Jie, sticking her head out from her waist, and laughed, 鈥淚’m not as good as you in martial arts, but if you let me get this close, even if you are a fairy, I will make you pay!鈥�

Mie Jie growled, and slammed her elbow down hard. Long Kongkong laughed, disappeared in a flash, and when her head poked out, it was on the side of Mie Jie’s face.

The woman let out a breath like orchid flowers, and said, 鈥淵ou arrogant nun, every day you talk about Emei, do you know that my Wuxian Sect’s Golden Snake Entanglement Technique is the number one close combat technique in the world!鈥�

Mie Jie gritted her teeth and remained silent. She tilted her head to one side, and sent a diagonal headbutt. Long Kongkong twisted his body and poked his head out from her other side. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw that Mie Jie’s cheek skin was like warm jade, and in the dim firelight, it seemed to glow with a faint light. His heart suddenly stirred, and he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick her face.

Mie Jie shouted angrily, 鈥淗ow dare you, you witch!鈥�

He unleashed his internal strength, kicking back with his feet, slamming his elbow back, and thrusting two fingers of his left hand fiercely at Long Kongkong’s eyes.

Long Kongkong let out a startled cry, and also used his internal strength to the extreme, twisting and dodging while tightly entangling Mie Jie. She wrapped her legs around Mie Jie’s single leg, and with a vigorous twist, the two of them fell to the ground together.

The Emei School had many unique skills, but there was no set of kung fu that could deal with the two of them tangled on the ground. Mie Jie had no choice but to use his hands, elbows, and head to hit her, desperately trying to seriously injure his opponent.

However, the Golden Snake Coiling Technique was precisely the kind of close combat technique that specialized in one area. Once it was wrapped around the opponent’s body, there were countless techniques for transforming and releasing the force. But Long Kongkong was like a large white snake glowing with a pink light, winding around and around Mie Jie, entangling him.

After fighting like this for tens of rounds, suddenly, Yuchen heard Ye Guhong whisper, 鈥淪orry, I can’t hold back anymore.鈥�

With a bang, the last torch fell to the ground. Moments later, the remaining fire went out, and the cave was suddenly plunged into darkness. All that could be heard were the sounds of struggling, cursing, muttering, and groaning in pain.
