Chapter 73

Suddenly faced with a major change, Feng Wanqiu did not panic. With her extensive combat experience, she had faced countless life-and-death situations, and had even encountered more dangerous scenarios!

Her body was mysteriously restrained, and her Heavenly Phoenix true form also became numb, but the true qi throughout her body remained unaffected!

This was reasonable; if she had not reacted when her true qi was controlled, she would have been dead long ago.

In this situation, she actually launched a fierce counterattack!

True qi surged, shattering the chair beneath her. The shattered chair turned into a cloud of wooden splinters that shot towards the Doutu siblings!

While still in mid-air, these splinters suddenly exploded, turning into a cluster of sparks!

A golden light enveloped Doutu, forming an armor that deflected the sparks!

This golden light was his true form, the Boundless Light, intangible yet substantial, capable of countless transformations.

A colorful bird appeared on Doutu Tian's body, her true form, the Seven-Colored Jade Parrot.

The parrot flapped its wings, scattering the sparks!

However, the Doutu siblings' attack was momentarily delayed, giving Feng Wanqiu the opportunity to twist her body to the extreme, her bones seeming to dislocate. She leaned to one side, her left hand forming a blade, igniting a fiery edge that struck Doutu's elbow.

At the same time, her right hand formed a fist, flames erupting from it as it hit Doutu Tian's palm!

Boom...

A loud explosion shook the entire arena!

The sparks that the two had deflected flew in all directions!

A spark splashed onto the Blue Jade Martial Hall's hall master!

Instantly, a set of smooth, sky-blue, jade-like full-body qi armor appeared on the hall master's body!

This was his True Form, the Blue Crystal Jade Armor, which had once withstood a strike from a Seventh Layer Qi Practitioner without dying!

At the same time, a blue longsword appeared before him, continuously emitting fine, jade-like particles, a result of the air being transformed by his Blue Jade true qi!

This blue longsword was his martial technique, the Blue Jade Sword Technique, capable of turning anything it touched into blue jade!

The Blue Jade Sword struck the sparks with the speed of wind and thunder, but was instantly burned to ashes!

The hall master was greatly alarmed, and with a wave of his hands, he released several sword auras, but they could not stop the sparks at all!

When the sparks touched his hand, his True Form Blue Crystal Jade Armor immediately caught fire. He didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a ball of flames!

A spark landed on the Adamantine Rock, which immediately melted...

Another spark landed on the arena, instantly igniting and emitting intense heat waves...

Seeing the terrifying nature of these sparks, no one dared to face them head-on!

Those above the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation immediately condensed qi wings and flew around, while those below the Fourth Layer immediately used lightness skills to flee!

The scene instantly became extremely chaotic!

At this moment, a semi-circular protective barrier appeared in the sky, leaving everyone with no way to escape!

The Doutu siblings' figures flickered, and they each retreated!

Although Feng Wanqiu did not spit out a single drop of blood, her face was frighteningly pale, as she had been seriously injured in that strike!

The Doutu siblings had launched a surprise attack and naturally could not use too much power!

But Feng Wanqiu, caught off guard and with her own strength limited, could not use too much force either!

She had been seriously injured in that strike, and the true qi within her body was churning violently!

At the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation, martial artists can condense their martial techniques into a tangible form, known as the True Form!

If Xiao Ran reached this level, he could condense his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms into a form, which could be a palm or a dragon!

This form could be released outside the body to attack enemies from a distance, or attached to the body to deliver a double-strength strike!

At the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, the True Form gains sentience and can attack on its own, known as the True Spirit!

The martial artist's true qi also gains sentience, and at this point, the qi is called the Spirit Qi!

At the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, the True Form can be fused into a single entity, known as the Martial Body, or the True Martial Body!

This Martial Body possesses all the martial artist's techniques, has sentience, can attack on its own, and each has its unique abilities!

To break through to the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, one must advance their Spirit Aperture to the Young Body stage and fuse it into a single entity!

A new system of apertures is formed within the body!

Feng Wanqiu had condensed all the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Apertures, fused them into a single entity, and advanced them to the Young Body stage, forming the Heavenly Phoenix True Body, possessing all the abilities of the Heavenly Phoenix's physical form!

At this point, the qi within the martial artist's body undergoes a tremendous transformation, known as the True Qi!

The power of True Qi is incomparable to ordinary qi; a Fifth Layer True Form is as useless as a piece of paper in front of True Qi!

Feng Wanqiu calmed the churning True Qi within her body, her eyes calmly looking at the Doutu siblings, and asked, "How did you do it?

You actually managed to restrain my Martial Body and paralyze my Heavenly Phoenix True Body!?"

She did not ask why, because the Doutu siblings must have their reasons; she just didn't understand how they managed to do it!

Doutu laughed and said, "This is actually not difficult, it's worthless once you know!

I added a small amount of White Dew Powder to the food and drinks I provided you daily. This White Dew Powder is harmless and even beneficial to the body!

However, it metabolizes very slowly in the body!

Over time, even a small amount is sufficient!

Today, at the scene, I had them use Clear Dew Spirit to clean the blood. This Clear Dew Spirit can clear blood and emit a fragrant aroma, and is harmless!

But when Clear Dew Spirit is combined with blood and White Dew Powder, it turns into Drunken Phoenix Fragrance!

In the past, when humans hunted the Phoenix clan, Drunken Phoenix Fragrance was the main weapon. A young phoenix would become as drunk as a human with just a small amount.

That's how I paralyzed your Heavenly Phoenix True Body!

As for your Martial Body..."

Hearing Doutu say this, Xiao Ran finally understood why those people had secretly collected those herbs!

Doutu then produced a green jade seal in his hand. Feng Wanqiu's eyes narrowed, and she said calmly, "The Martial Suppressing Seal!

A seal that can suppress a Martial Body on its own!

While White Dew Powder and Clear Dew Spirit are difficult to refine, they can still be obtained, but how could a Seventh Layer Qi Practitioner like you, a small city lord, obtain the Martial Suppressing Seal!?

Or, are you not Doutu at all!"

Doutu laughed, "Good eyesight, you recognized it!"

As he spoke, Doutu's voice became sharp, his already extremely soft features became delicate, and his body became curvaceous and well-proportioned. He had transformed into a woman!

Doutu bowed to Feng Wanqiu, "Tianyao of the Demon Clan, Feng Xi, greets Elder Sister Feng!

We might have been of the same clan five hundred years ago!"

Feng Wanqiu's expression grew even colder, "So you are a remnant of the demon clan!"

Her gaze turned to Doutu Tian, "Are you a demon?

It's impossible; if you were a demon, you couldn't have passed the entrance test of the Ten Thousand Beast Gate!"

Doutu Tian giggled, "Elder Sister Feng, I am a genuine human!

I am just an outer member of the Ten Thousand Demon Clan!

For the future of humanity, the demon clan made great sacrifices, but ended up with this fate.

I am deeply ashamed of being human, so I joined the Ten Thousand Demon Clan!"

Feng Wanqiu asked, "What about the real Doutu?"

At this moment, another voice sounded, "Doutu greets Miss Feng. Today, I need to borrow Miss Feng's Heavenly Phoenix True Body!"

A black-robed man appeared in the sky, with silver hair, a hooked nose, and thin lips like a blade.

This man was the real Doutu!

Seeing the situation become extremely complex, everyone was at a loss, unsure of which side to take!

At this moment, Jin Zhengyang suddenly spoke, "Lords, the grudges between you have nothing to do with us commoners. Please let us leave. We saw nothing, and we know nothing!

The Golden Light Sect is so far away; if we don't say anything, they won't know anything!"

The real silver-haired Doutu laughed, "This elaborate setup is precisely to borrow your essence and souls!

To help Miss Feng Xi condense her Heavenly Phoenix True Body and form a Heart Image, advancing to the Heavenly Origin Realm!

In achieving this great feat, your deaths will be without regret!"
