C1118 Capturing Technique
Ye Bufan looked at Hsing Wudao's divine soul, who was pacing back and forth, not daring to come again. He smiled, feeling pleasantly surprised in his heart.
The move he had used to deal with Hsing Wudao earlier wasn't a move he had learned from the Green Pine Sword Technique. Instead, it was a move that he had suddenly thought of.
After all, he had not been able to seize the longsword before him, so if the Green Pine Sword Technique did not have the longsword in hand... He had no way to use his fingers to replace the longsword, so at that moment... It was as if he didn't have any offensive techniques.
Besides the grabbing technique of the outer sect disciples, there was no other method that could really suppress Hsing Wudao.
Even if it was the grabbing technique of the outer sect, it wouldn't have any effect in a fight between divine souls.
The main function of the outer sect's grappling techniques was to use these techniques to lock the joints of the opponent, thus limiting the opponent's movements.
Divine souls were completely different from the body. There were no joints at all.
Don't look at how the divine soul was exactly the same as the body. Even walking, sitting, and lying were no different from a real person. That didn't mean that the divine soul couldn't use other methods to move. It was just a habit it had developed.
After all, if a divine soul let its knee move backward all day, it would definitely cripple its knee when it returned to the body.
No cultivator would do such a boring thing.
But if no one did this, it doesn't mean that they can't do it. There were many cultivators with Divine Sense that were Demonic Beast. After they advanced to the Transformation stage, their divine soul would transform into the shape of a Demonic Beast, and the thoughts they released would also transform into small Demonic Beast. Of course, it would be very different from their human appearance.
However, after reaching the Shape Changing Stage, when cultivators fought, they wouldn't need to use the divine soul to leave their body. They had enough thoughts to use, and as long as they released the thoughts in their sea of consciousness, they would be able to attack.
The more thoughts they had, the more offensive they would be.
However, no matter how they attacked, they had to leave behind half of their Divine Soul Extracting Technique. Because the soul itself was made up of thoughts. If all the thoughts were used to fight, then it was no different from the entire divine soul leaving its body. Once it was killed... It would be equivalent to death.
Therefore, when one reached the Shape Changing Stage, or even the peak of the Sense Stage, when a cultivator fought, he would only use a portion of his thoughts, instead of using his divine soul to leave his body like Ye Bufan did.
Ye Bufan could temporarily restrict Hsing Wudao with the outer circle cultivation technique, so that Hsing Wudao wouldn't be able to attack him at will. But thinking about it, it was impossible for him to defeat Hsing Wudao with these techniques.
Even if he used his divine soul to restrict Hsing Wudao, it was because he had seen through Hsing Wudao's lack of combat experience. He knew that Hsing Wudao wouldn't have the ability to defend against such an attack from those peak Shape Changing Stage warriors, and he would still be affected by the condition of his body.
That was why Ye Bufan dared to use his grappling technique to restrict Hsing Wudao.
The result proved that his guess was completely correct.
Facing Ye Bufan's grappling technique, Hsing Wudao was not prepared at all. All of his subconscious movements were following the habits of the body, which was why he chose to use Ye Bufan's technique.
If it was another person with rich combat experience, Ye Bufan's grabbing of Hsing Wudao's wrist just now would definitely not have any effect.
If it was another experienced cultivator, when Ye Bufan grabbed their wrists, they would immediately lengthen their wrists, or directly twist their wrists, and continue to attack Ye Bufan.
This way, Ye Bufan could only save himself, and there would be no counterattack from the next move.
Hsing Wudao could not do this, so he could only let Ye Bufan grab his wrist and receive a counterattack.
Although Ye Bufan's counterattack was just a flash of inspiration, it was definitely not something Hsing Wudao could defend against.
Because Ye Bufan's attack was very simple and direct, it would be very easy for him to defend himself even if he knew how to defend himself. However, if one didn't know how to defend, then it would be just like Hsing Wudao. He would end up in such a miserable state.
To put it bluntly, Ye Bufan's move was actually very simple. He inserted his divine sense into Hsing Wudao's divine soul.
Every divine soul could only sense the divine sense once. The divine sense could be improved, but it absolutely could not be replaced. Once the divine sense was discovered by the second divine sense, the original divine sense would immediately launch an attack. Defend their own territory.
It was rare to see Ye Bufan, who had sensed the divine sense twice and obtained two types of divine sense, once in a thousand years.
However, even Ye Bufan could sense the two types of divine sense from the front and back. Strictly speaking, the two types of divine sense were the difference between the main branch and the branch.
The sword light was originally a type of light. Therefore, it was reasonable for Ye Bufan to be able to sense it twice and obtain two types of divine sense. Although it was shocking, it made sense after careful investigation.
However, it was not possible for others. At least, it was not for Hsing Wudao.
Therefore, when Ye Bufan inserted his finger into Hsing Wudao's body, the Divine Senses in Hsing Wudao's body... The Devil Flame started to attack Ye Bufan's sword light and Divine Sense, wanting to expel the sword light and Divine Sense from his body. This was the reason why Ye Bufan's finger moved. Within Hsing Wudao's body. This was the reason why the sulfur fire and devil flames on ___'s body had erupted.
This was the reason. This kind of eruption was very powerful, but it was also harmful to Hsing Wudao.
If Hsing Wudao still had the ability to control this kind of explosion after reaching the Shape Changing Stage, it would make the Devil Flame choose to calm down and not let Ye Bufan's sword light attack with his Divine Sense.
But now, it was obvious that Hsing Wudao couldn't do this.
Not only could he not do it, but once he tried to do it, it was as if he was trying to save someone. In the end, he used too much of his strength because he could not stand firm. In the end, it was not to save someone. Instead, he had pushed the person down into the fire pit.
Therefore, the more Hsing Wudao wanted to control the Demonic Flame of Sulphur to calm it down, the more the Demonic Flame of Sulphur wreaked havoc on his body.
If the Divine Sense Demonic Flame in his body could destroy Ye Bufan's Divine Sense sword light within an extremely short period of time... Then, even if there was any injury, Hsing Wudao would certainly not care. He would not care even if he suffered a little bit of pain.
According to normal logic, this wasn't a very absurd idea.
Because both of them were only Sense Stage warriors, they had just received a cultivation technique from the sect. Even if they had cultivated a part of it, they wouldn't be able to cultivate it to a very deep level.
Therefore, at this time, under normal circumstances, the divine sense that occupied the home ground would be able to quickly eliminate the divine sense that invaded from the outside world. The speed would be very fast, and the degree of the destruction would be very light.
This was also the reason why cultivators rarely possessed cultivators.
Even if it was a Shape Changing Stage cultivator, it wouldn't be so easy for him to possess a Sense Stage cultivator.
Furthermore, Ye Bufan didn't want to possess a cultivator, and he didn't integrate his Divine Sense into Hsing Wudao's divine soul. He merely probed it a little.
It was as if an ice stick had been inserted into a big pot of salt water. How could this pot of salt water turn sweet?
According to common sense, this was the case. However, common sense made a mistake when facing Ye Bufan.
Because if the salt water was not put into an ice stick, but a rubber stick, then it was naturally impossible to expect the saltwater to melt or push away the rubber stick. There was only one way to prevent the saltwater from boiling. That was to let the saltwater leave the rubber stick.
Ye Bufan's fingers, which had been strengthened by the Green Pine Sword Technique, were like rubber sticks. Hsing Wudao's divine soul was like salt water, but with the salt water's own ability... It was absolutely impossible for the rubber rods to melt or expel the rubber rods.
After a long time, Hsing Wudao was tortured by the increasingly violent Demonic Flame to the point of being unable to bear it anymore. Only then did he subconsciously use his only method, which was to immediately use the rubber stick. Ye Bufan's finger immediately broke free from Ye Bufan's finger. The Devil Flame inside his body would not automatically attack the intruders. It would not make him feel uncomfortable.
Although Hsing Wudao had made the right choice, it was not because he understood the reason behind all of this. It was just that he had no choice but to retreat. That was why he had made the right choice.
Therefore, after Hsing Wudao left Ye Bufan, he only dared to look at Ye Bufan from afar. He did not dare to come up again.
He didn't understand why Ye Bufan could make him feel so uncomfortable with just a finger. He suspected that Ye Bufan had an even more powerful technique. Under the fear in his heart, he naturally didn't dare to fight anymore.
Looking at Hsing Wudao's face, Ye Bufan was secretly delighted. He knew that the method he had chosen had succeeded, and he also understood that Hsing Wudao was afraid.
His victory was almost certain. Hsing Wudao's challenge would end in failure in front of everyone. From now on, he would be able to cultivate peacefully for a period of time in Egret Whistle Manor.
Ye Bufan never intended to compete with Hsing Wudao in Egret Whistle Manor. So what if he became the leader of these disciples? His eyes were never the tiny Egret Whistle Manor, but a place even higher and farther away.
"Hsing Wudao, do you still want to fight with me?" Ye Bufan smiled.
"You!" Hsing Wudao really wanted to say he wanted to, but when he thought about what happened just now, his whole body was boiling. Like a cooked prawn, his courage dissipated. If this happened again, he didn't think he could withstand it.
Even now, he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.
Just now, when the Demonic Flame of Sulphur suddenly boiled, it caused quite a bit of damage to his soul. At least a dozen days of effort would be wasted on healing after he returned. This period of time had passed. He could only recover to his previous state before the battle with Ye Bufan. He had wasted more than ten days on healing his injuries. Naturally, he would have to put a stop to his cultivation.
If he continued to fight Ye Bufan, then even if he won, he would still spend a lot of time on healing his injuries.2
If he used too much time on healing his injuries, his progress would naturally slow down.
The reason why Hsing Wudao wanted to become the leader of the new disciples in Egret Whistle Manor was not because he liked to show off. Of course, he also wanted to make use of this identity. It would increase his cultivation speed and resources. To be able to walk further than others.
