Chapter 0628 The only Chance

"Just for a head?" Zhou Qi couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it, couldn't believe it, looked past the strange-shaped slime shell, stared at Mu Xingqiu's eyes, and asked again, "Just for a head?"

"His name is Mu Songxuan, he comes from Yelin Town, and he is my best friend." Mu Xingqiu gently took back his bald man and held it on his chest. Under the pull of the two suction forces, he could not remove the various contents in the mucus shell. The color is sent back to the bald man's head, and he can only try to keep the outer shell unbroken.

The reason why Bald Man can survive to this day is because of the integration of various powers. The lack of any one of them may have fatal effects, especially the drop of water in the sword washing pool. Without it, Bald Man may have been unable to wake up.

Mu Xingqiu must leave everything intact.

Zhou Qi didn't change much on the surface, and his smooth beard fluttered slightly without any mess. In fact, he was concentrating all his efforts on fighting against the jade ax in his hand, trying every means to get out of trouble. Although he knew that the more he resisted, the faster his mana would be lost, but he didn't. There are other options. This is a process that cannot be stopped once started. The inner alchemy is no longer completely under his control.

"Let's each take a step back. You take back your soul. I'll take Bing Kui away and give up the first pivot position of the Star Shifting Formation." Zhou Qi's tone was still majestic, as if this was not a suggestion, but an order that no one dared to refuse.

Shen Shang had difficulty opening his mouth, and shouted in a muffled voice: "Who loses and wins in this fight?"

"It's a draw. We'll have to fight again if we have the chance." Zhou Qi refused to admit defeat after all.

Mu Xingqiu's expression was not as calm as that of the Taoist priest. He had to use his own suction to ease the suction in the jade axe, and also use part of his strength to protect the bald man and Shen Shang, but he could no longer remain calm. At this moment, both of his hands were His eyebrows were erect, his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were bulging, and the blue veins were clearly visible, giving him a strange look of being at the end of his strength.

"Do you think I can stop the soul?" Mu Xingqiu could speak, but he gritted his teeth unconsciously.

Zhou Qi did not answer, and glanced into the distance. The snow had stopped, but there were dark clouds rolling around. The snow on the ground and the trees were emitting light brown gas. These were unclean gases, and even they were affected by the soul. The attraction continues to flow towards Jade Ax. Deep in the forest, several ice beasts hidden in them exploded one after another, and the sound shook a large amount of snow. The beasts in the distance roared in terror, and the birds flapped their wings and made inexplicable whines. They had no soul-interesting power in their bodies, but I was frightened by the visions around me.

The power generated by the Amber Taoist Priest's soul and the water of the sword-washing pool was far beyond Zhou Qi's imagination, and the fear he had never experienced in his life shrouded him like a dark cloud above his head.

Becoming a demon enhanced his power and caused him to lose his peaceful Taoist heart.

"You can stop your soul because you don't want to die." Zhou Qi's eyes fell on Mu Xingqiu's face again, and his voice became firm again, "Even at this time, you still want to protect your head and the Taoist priest behind you... …”

"Hey, my name is Shen Shang, a bloodline of the Taoist Shen family!" Shen Shang's voice became increasingly vague and could only be heard clearly. He had controlled the inner alchemy from the beginning, and the suction force he received was relatively small, but if he continued like this If it goes down, sooner or later the inner alchemy will be driven by the suction force to accelerate its rotation.

Zhou Qi was not interrupted and continued, "You don't want to die either, I can see it, so why waste your time? If you insist on this false reputation, well, I admit defeat, you defeated a Concentrator Taoist priest, Nian Xin Ke has created another miracle.”

The unclean aura gathered more and more, shrouding Mu Xingqiu and the others, like a dark brown giant beast sleeping soundly in the dark night, its body as huge as a hill rising and falling.

Mu Xingqiu's left eye has returned to an ordinary third eye. With the help of the magical power of the Taoist demon that permeates his body, his vision is still better than that of ordinary Taoist priests. He can see the slightly frightened Taoist priest in the midst of a cloud of unclean air. face.

"There is only one way to stop the soul." Mu Xingqiu said word by word.

"Tell me, what can I do?" Zhou Qi could no longer pretend to be calm. Fear had entered his flesh and bones and could no longer be driven away.

Mu Xingqiu said nothing and just stared at Zhou Qi. There was only one way to stop the soul, but that was not something Zhou Qi could accept.

Zhou Qi looked confused, his Taoist robes were blown up by the wind, and his beard was floating like a clump of waterweed. Suddenly he burst into laughter. Zhou Qi has been practicing for more than a thousand years and has hundreds of times more knowledge than Mu Xingqiu. However, once he is frightened and confused, his reaction is not as good as that of a young Taoist priest. But he finally figured it out now. ơɱ

Even without reminder, he would have figured it out.

"The soul is a void thing and must rely on real things to generate suction. It used to be amber condensed by mana, but now it is a jade axe. Once the jade ax is broken, the suction force will disappear... No, the ordinary jade ax weapon should have been used long ago. It's broken, but this jade ax is integrated with the sword-washing pool and will not be damaged no matter how much power is absorbed. This is a dead end."

"Well, that's a dead end." Mu Xingqiu's face could be said to be ferocious, but his voice was extremely calm, as if he had made an understandable and common mistake.

"You're playing tricks on me!" Zhou Qi's fear was compounded by anger.

"I'm only thinking about how to defeat you, but I'm not in the mood to tease you." Mu Xingqiu said calmly.

"You don't think about the consequences, aren't you afraid of risking your own life?" Zhou Qi became more angry, and the mana in his body was drained faster. The inner alchemy was spinning out of control, faster than a top whipped by a whip. If this continues, the inner elixir will lose its power after a while and will never be restored.

For Taoist priests, this means that the elixir will destroy people and destroy them.

Mu Xingqiu didn't say anything again, which was equivalent to tacitly agreeing with Zhou Qi's statement.

Zhou Qi still didn't believe it. He had seen Taoists face death calmly, and demons commit suicide and slaughter in order to gain a little pitiful power, but no one would choose to fight desperately when there was still a way to retreat. Mu Xingqiu could completely refuse the challenge and hide in the range of the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi formation, relying on his stubborn fists and body to show off his strength.

Zhou Qi took another look at the head in the mucus. The sleeping head was so dull that it didn't look like a living thing. "Don't you want to save the head? You have already avenged me for him. Don't you want him to live?"

"He will live and die with me."

Mu Xingqiu was not a reckless person who didn't know how to live or die, but he was not a high-level Taoist who could predict the future. He thought that he could defeat Zhou Qi with the water from the sword washing pool, and found that he couldn't, so he summoned the soul of Meng Yuanhou. Step by step, he just made the necessary choice when he had no other choice.

At this moment, he still held a little hope. Although Zhou Qi didn't believe it, he still insisted on generating suction to fight against the increasingly powerful souls, while protecting the bald man in front of his chest and Shen Shang behind him.

He believed that the bald man would understand his approach, and Shen Shang's laughter showed that he had understood.

Zhou Qi finally understood that if he wanted to survive, he had to find a way himself. He had lived for more than a thousand years, was proficient in a large number of Taoist and demon spells, and had read a vast number of books. He forced himself to calm down and search for a way to escape in his memory.

Amber Taoist priests are rare in the world, and uncontrolled Amber Taoist priests are even more unique. Zhou Qi couldn't find a direct way to crack it, so he could only slowly infer.

"With the help of the Sword Washing Pool, the Jade Axe has become a powerful magical weapon, but it is only an ordinary jade axe after all, and it is impossible to carry unlimited power... Mu Xingqiu, you are a living person, why is the suction not as strong as the soul?"

"Because I don't want to become an amber Taoist priest." Mu Xingqiu didn't dare to use all his strength. Once all his will was used to generate suction, he would lose control of himself and become a thoughtless amber, and he would never wake up again. Meng Yuanhou died unknowingly in that year. His original purpose was probably to use this method to eliminate the demons occupying the Old Ancestor Peak, but it ended up being used by the Giant Demon King and became a powerful demon weapon against the Taoist tradition.

Mu Xingqiu couldn't make the same mistake again. If he turned into an amber Taoist priest to offset the suction of the soul, the only person who would survive and benefit would be Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi wanted to smile, but his facial muscles were out of control, and he showed a twisted face. "Do you want to wait until I die before turning into an amber Taoist priest to save my head?"

Mu Xingqiu was surprised that a Taoist priest who was infused with spirits was so ignorant because of fear. "If I turn into an amber Taoist priest, I can't tell the enemy from me, and I will continue to generate suction to kill Mu Songxuan and Shen Shang."

"Hmm..." Shen Shang's voice was not even clear to him.

Zhou Qi's inner elixir was spinning faster and faster, almost bursting out of his abdomen. The unclean air around him had turned from dark clouds to violent whirlwinds, rushing to enter the jade axe.

The jade axe was less than a foot long and looked fragile, but under the strengthening of the water in the sword washing pool, it continuously absorbed power without changing itself.

Zhou Qi once couldn't wait to grab it, but now he held it in his hand and couldn't get rid of it.

"Qi Wushang once controlled the amber Taoist priest. How did he do it?" Zhou Qi still didn't give up.

"Qi Wushang uses a large-scale demon formation, neither you nor I can do it, and there is not so much demon blood here." Mu Xingqiu stared at Zhou Qi without blinking, observing his every change. The Taoist priest was on his way to the end, and black smoke was coming out of his body. It was the product of the combination of mana and unclean air.

Fear made Zhou Qi lose his calmness, and also made him wake up at the last moment. He finally read some information from Mu Xingqiu's eyes, "You want to use my power to fill the jade axe, and then... Then you take the opportunity to break the jade axe!"

Only when the Taoist priest has enough mana that the jade axe can't bear it, this is Mu Xingqiu's plan, "I'll try." He wants to wait until Zhou Qi's mana is completely sucked out, and then pour out his own power, so that the jade axe can't bear it. As for whether this plan can succeed-all adventures cannot be guaranteed in advance, especially for Mu Xingqiu.

For Mu Xingqiu, who has suction power, the time of persistence will always be longer than Zhou Qi, who is purely losing mana.

Even when Zhou Qi was most frightened and angry, he would not lose his composure like an ordinary person. "What a great idea!" He poured his emotions into a thunderous voice. "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let me help you."

Zhou Qi had been controlling the inner elixir, but now he changed his mind. He wanted to let the inner elixir run as fast as possible. He should have done so long ago. If he had given up half of his training, he might have been able to break the jade axe. Now he had to use all his strength to escape.

But it didn't matter. Zhou Qi believed that he still had a chance to survive, and Zhou Qi really wanted to take the opportunity to "help" this desperate little Taoist priest and his companions and send them into the abyss of death.

Mu Xingqiu was also ready. Who would win or lose, who would live or die, would depend on who could grasp that subtle, critical opportunity.
