God Execution Mysterious Knife
Qin Mu rushed out of the shrine. As soon as he reached the steps of the divine mountain, he immediately sprawled facedown and hid under the stone steps. The two thick beams of light swept past his head and scorched the stone steps!
After the two beams of divine light swept past, Qin Mu landed on the stone steps below him. Without any delay, he rose and ran like a furious dragon, leaving a trail of smoke.
As he quickly sprinted, he executed his vital qi and created a fog behind him, covering the entire mountain with it.
However, from the wound on his neck, qi and blood were leaking out. They floated out from his body and poured towards the mountain.
The wound was caused by Chi Xi's fingernails when he stabbed his neck with them. On this God Execution Stage, any small injury cannot heal by themselves or be treated with medicine. Qi and blood would be absorbed by God Execution Stage. The only way out was to quickly leave the mountain while one was still alive!
The qi and blood in Qin Mu's body were losing at an extremely fast rate. He didn't dare to turn back and look if his qi and blood were being absorbed by God Execution Stage or Chi Xi. He could only grit his teeth and run as fast as he can.
Finally, when he reached the bottom of the mountain, his mind was already blank because of the lack of blood. He heard thunder rumbling beside his ears and his eyes were seeing pitch black.
Qin Mu's primordial spirit projected out and he used it to look around. He quickly took out the dragon saliva from his taotie sack and smeared it on his neck. Next, he took out Spirit Buddha Pills, which could replenish his blood, and consumed them at once.
He touched his body and his heart was astonished. In just a short moment, he had already become as thin as a match and needed some time to recover.
God Execution Stage and Chi Xi seized his qi and blood together, so it was already a remarkable feat that he wasn't squeezed dry.
'I wonder if Chi Xi had anything to do with my qi and blood flowing out so fast.'
Qin Mu was as thin as a bamboo. He tucked the small case under his armpit as he walked forward shakily. He wanted to stay as far away as possible from this strange divine mountain. He thought to himself, 'My blood dissolving powder is placed in the water. He first absorbed Zhe Huali and Qi Jiuyi's blood, using their blood to awaken himself before using those three pouches of water to hydrate himself. The blood dissolving powder should have traveled to all parts of his corporeal body with the water. He sucked my blood, so it would dissolve with the blood he had seized. He relied on blood to awaken himself, so when the blood is dissolved, he will go dormant again. But if Chi Xi had taken precautions, he may have left behind a portion of clean blood.'
He was a great professional in the healing path and the poison path. He knew how to keep a portion of clean blood and he also knew where Chi Xi had kept the portion of clean blood.
It was in Chi Xi's eyes—that pair of eyes that had shone off with divine light.
He should have clean blood only in that pair of eyes.
Therefore, Qin Mu didn't know whether Chi Xi would fall into slumber once again or not. That was why he needed to leave this divine mountain as soon as possible.
If Chi Xi was clever enough, he would have to force out the excess water in his body and cause himself to completely shrivel up. He could then use the remaining blood in his eyes to help him stand up.
Qin Mu executed his remaining vital qi to catalyze the Spirit Buddha Pills in his body. He thought to himself, 'Hope he isn't so clever...'
In the shrine, Chi Xi knelt there motionlessly like a wooden sculpture. The fingertips of his six arms were leaking out murky water. It flowed out in a very fine stream, and milky-colored spoiled blood was mixed in it.
Qin Mu's blood dissolving powder couldn't dissolve his divine blood. What it dissolved was the blood he had absorbed from Qi Jiuyi, Zhe Huali, and a portion from Qin Mu.
After some time, the water in Chi Xi's body had been drained out. He had turned into a three-headed and six-armed dried corpse. There was a glint that was flowing in the eyes of his front face. He was extremely terrifying.
Chi Xi carefully separated a portion of blood from his eyes and let this bit of blood activate some of his bodily functions. He then shakily stood up.
His two heads hung down. Likewise, his six arms were also in the same weakened state.
The blood in his eyes was too little, so he could only maintain very limited bodily functions. His other body functions could only remain dormant.
He moved out of the hall with difficulty. He only arrived at the stone steps of this shrine after a long time. His legs buckled and he tumbled down the divine mountain.
His speed couldn't overtake Qin Mu, Zhe Huali, and Qi Jiuyi's running speed, so he took an hour to roll down from the top of the mountain to the bottom.
Chi Xiu rested for a long time before standing up. He moved his body with difficulty to look for water.
Qin Mu was at a lake far away. He took out bags of blood dissolving powder to pour into the lake. He saw him shakily walking over and hurriedly poured the rest of the powder into the lake. He executed a divine art and a cloud appeared above the lake. From the cloud, a divine dragon hung down and stabbed its tail into the lake to stir vigorously.
Qin Mu waved his hand and sprinted away.
Chi—
Two beams of light shot out from Chi Xi's eyes, but they missed him. Chi Xi could only look at him moving far away.
"Water—"
Chi Xi was furious as he staggered. His body couldn't hold up any longer and collapse on the ground. So close yet so far. He had finally crawled here with difficulty, yet the lake had already been poisoned by Qin Mu. If he wanted to find another water source, it will take him one to two months. If his luck was bad, he might even need to spend one to two years.
At this moment, rumblings of thunder came from the sky. The rolling thunder shocked Chi Xi awake and he flipped over with difficulty. Raising his head at the sky with a delighted expression, the mouths on his three heads opened up, waiting for the rain to fall.
Dark clouds filled the sky and lightning crossed. The dark clouds became thicker and lower.
On a mountain far away, fire dragons suddenly flew up into the clouds and chased away the storm clouds. After a moment, the sky turned clear and blue. The dark clouds transformed back into white clouds and floated away.
Chi Xi turned his head around with difficulty and two beams of divine light shot out, piercing two holes into that mountaintop!
"If I find you..."
On the other side, Qin Mu immediately went down the mountain after chasing away the storm clouds. The mountaintop behind had already suffered for no reason—two holes had destroyed it.
He was almost fully recovered, but his corporeal body still has yet to get back its peak condition.
"It probably wouldn't rain for a moment, so I should be safe for some time. In the meantime, I'll recuperate and study this small case."
He transformed into a black shadow and stuck to the ground. He covered his traces to prepare to leave this place as soon as possible. He tried his best not to leave any trace so that after Chi Xi had woken up after it rained, he wouldn't be able to find quickly where he was hiding.
After a long time, Qin Mu came out from his shadow state and revealed his form. He lifted up the small case and slowly studied it.
This small case was the central administration of God Execution Stage. On the small case, all kinds of markings were imprinted. They were extremely ancient. They should be the rune markings of Crimson Light Era, and they were different from the rune markings nowadays.
The paths, skills, and divine arts of Crimson Light Era should be different from the present. Qin Mu examined in detail as he tried to solve the marvel of these rune markings. However, he had never come into contact with the runes of Crimson Light Era, so he knew absolutely nothing about it. He could only give up.
The surroundings of the small case also have some faintly discernible sunlight that swirled around it. This sunlight was harmless. Qin Mu had tried it with his spirit weapon before he even took the small case. The sunlight had no power, so it should only be the light given off by a treasure in the small case.
The case wasn't locked but it was shut tightly. There was no place to pry it open.
No matter how much Qin Mu tried to open the small case, he couldn't even leave any mark on it, even with Carefree Sword.
Suddenly, he heard sounds of footsteps and a familiar voice entered Qin Mu's ears. "Brother Qin sure is remarkable, to be able to escape even in that kind of situation. I really admire you."
Qin Mu tucked the small case under his armpit and turned around. He looked at Qi Jiuyi with a smiling face.
Even though Qi Jiuyi still had an elegant demeanor, he still had a portion of qi and blood stolen by the divine mountain and Chi Xi. However, compared to the bony Qin Mu, he still had some flesh and blood.
Qin Mu first got his qi and blood seized by Chi Xi, then by the divine mountain afterward. Because of this, his body was too exhausted.
Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali had nearly killed him by trapping him in that shrine for a short while, so the qi and blood he had exhausted were even more than the both of them.
This time, Qi Jiuyi seemed to be well prepared. An ancient parasol tree stood tall behind him and flames spread out in all directions. The phoenix nest on the tree was made from golden rice straws and branches of a parasol tree. The nest was shining brilliantly in gold and a nine-headed phoenix was resting in it. The nine phoenix heads were spewing fire to temper its own body.
His great divine arts had already accumulated its power.
"Where is Senior Brother Zhe Huali?" Qin Mu looked around and asked.
Qi Jiuyi said indifferently, "He challenged me and got heavily injured, so he had no choice but to run. Brother Qin, you probably don't recognize the small case, right? Why don't I help you solve your question?"
Qin Mu said solemnly, "I'm all ears."
"I don't know what Crimson Light Celestial Heavens call this small case thirty-five thousand years ago, but in our celestial heavens, this small case has a very famous name. It's called God Execution Mysterious Knife."
Qi Jiuyi stabilized himself. The nine-headed phoenix on the ancient parasol tree also raised its head to look at Qin Mu. Qi Jiuyi's gaze landed on the small case as he said, "As for what the small case is used to store, Brother Qin wouldn't know if you aren't an official in the celestial heavens. This kind of small case is normally used to store a human head."
"Human head?"0
Qin Mu was astonished and shook the case. There was no sound of a human head tumbling around.
Qi Jiuyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "To put the head of a strong practitioner on Emperor's Throne, using it as a knife to execute gods. Brother Qin doesn't know how to open this case, you can give it to me. I can open it up to show Brother Qin."
Qin Mu offered the case with both hands and sincerely said, "Here you go."
Qi Jiuyi's eyes focused on the small case and he took in a long breath. The ancient parasol tree behind him also floated up as he executed Emperor's Throne technique!
Qin Mu let go of the case and it fell to the ground. On the palm under the case was a sword pellet that was currently swirling.
Qi Jiuyi retreated as his body passed through the ancient parasol tree. The tree grew furiously until it was fifty yards tall. The nine-headed phoenix on the tree screeched and flapped its wings to attack Qin Mu like a beam of light!
Twang—
His sword light suddenly became incomparably bright and Calamity Sword suddenly erupted to face the nine-headed phoenix. In an instant, flames overshadowed the sunlight in the sky. Sword and fire exploded among the mountains, expanding furiously like a small sun and an incomparably bright ball!
Qi Jiuyi erupted and struck forward with a phoenix mudra. The ancient parasol tree followed right behind the nine-headed phoenix. It destroyed everything on its way as it came smashing down.
