Chapter 151: Shifting Yin into Yang, Qian Kun One Qi
A troop of demonic soldiers rushed out and took their place in the formation. The last eight little demons that followed carried an emperor’s carriage, and a girl in green skirt sat on it.
Despite that the Nine-Headed Demon King hated the color of her outfit, he was pleased by the sight of the beautiful lady as he was searching for a beautiful wife with great social status. After all, he found Mister Sea’s approach in choosing his concubines extremely crude and tasteless, as he would make anyone his concubine without so much as choosing.
The female demon who shapeshifted seemed to be a tailored match for him, and as the humans would say, this was fated. Then, the Ruyi instrument could be her dowry. How nice would that be!
The Nine-Headed Demon King did not bother hiding his greed for the Demon Queen, and his gaze was commanding. Indeed, he looked extremely frightening with his nine heads.
He unleashed his aura without holding back, and a lot of the demons were frightened to the point that they reverted to their original form. There were a lot of animals, including the likes of deer and pangolin, and some even excreted on the spot.
The little demons that were carrying the carriage too, reverted to their original form. The carriage fell onto the floor and the girl in green skirt stood. She frowned and queried, “Dear King, why did you come into the territories of my Chui Ping Mountain?”
The Nine-Headed Demon King felt even more attracted to the girl in green and could not help but to appreciate her features. He thought that she looked more beautiful than anyone that he had ever seen before.
The only thing was her green skirt, and he could not wait to tell her to change into a red outfit, which would be a lot more glamorous.
“Little girl, what is your name? I didn’t come to do you harm,” he spoke crudely. A bird feather flew out of his mouth as he spoke.
He might have realized it himself and immediately morphed all nine of his heads together as though they were made of muds, and turned into a well-built man. However, there were still eight little red flesh warts protruding from his forehead.
The girl in green did not know much about this Demon King, and yet she realized how strong his aura was. Even the strongest Demon Kings in Xi Huang did not have such a strong aura. These Demon Kings were all fearless and pushy, knowing that, the girl in the green skirt did not want to offend him in the beginning. “My name is Kui Li, which Celestial Mountain you came from, and what are you doing here?” she spoke softly.
The Nine-Headed Demon King laughed and the Qi of heaven and earth was affected. The entire Chui Ping Mountain seemed to be shivering. “Kui Li, what a nice name. Little girl, you look so pretty, why don’t you come to my underwater palace and be my wife? I guarantee you a lifetime of prosperity and you will never have to suffer in this barren hills and turbulent rivers,” he spoke.
There did not seem to be any hint of anger on Kui Li’s beautiful face. “Dear King, thank you for your kindness. I don’t think I’m blessed enough for it. Please leave if you have nothing more to say,” she replied.
“You don’t have a say in this,” the Nine-Headed Demon King replied furiously. His face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black clouds, and smoke was boiling inside.
Kui Li noticed the great Mana that was rising. A black air current rushed at her. At the same time, the ground seemed to have sunk for a few feet. The giant black air current was filled with flying rocks and sands, and there was no stopping it as it rushed over.
She knew that the Demon King was not just anyone, but she did not expect him to be so powerful. Without so much as a premonition, he commanded such terrifying Mana and attacked with it. The black air current was crude and there were no fine changes. It was merely a manifestation of strong Mana, and she would need to expend a lot of Mana if she were to take the hit.
The black and white Qi shrouding her started rolling towards her, and they shot through the sky. The black river flew and disintegrated all of her demon soldiers. Most did not even get to keep a complete corpse. The black river was strong and unstoppable. The front part of it turned into silk cloth and rolled the palace up, with his brute Mana, the Nine-Headed Demon King wiped away any marks left behind by Kui Li.
The instrument was minimized to less than half a feet, and it fell into the Nine-Headed Demon King’s hand with a flick of the river. He laughed and seemed to be satisfied. Then, he tied the instrument at his waist.
Kui Li stood in the air and watched as the river flew underneath her. The Nine-Headed Demon King’s powerful Mana was indescribable. The black and white Qi shrouding her were like mists, and they unveiled the green skirt occasionally. It looked like a beautiful scene in the paintings; a green lotus blooming right in the middle of the painting.
She looked down at the Nine-Headed Demon King, and her gaze was full of contempt for him.
She gestured a formula with her hand, and with a yelp, a strange Qi started forming. It floated in mid-air and manifested immediately. Suddenly, a sky full of greenish needles appeared, and they flew towards the Nine-Headed Demon King.
There were a lot of greenish lights dot, and they were giving off sounds of sparks in the air. There was no doubt about their strength, and they could easily make thousands of holes on the Nine-Headed Demon King.
However, the Nine-Headed Demon King remained unmoved and fearless. He rolled up his sleeve and gestured for the black river to flow upwards. Immediately, he had a solid defense – one that could block off even the flying needles.
Some of the needles were bounced off and collided with the rocks far away, and the rocks immediately disintegrated into powder. This was an attestation to both Kui Li’s and the Nine-Headed Demon King’s strength.
“Seems like you’re capable of something, but that’s about it,” the Nine-Headed Demon King laughed crudely.
He rode on the waves and the black river headed right towards the sky. He was sent flying towards Kui Li’s direction, and he was traveling at the speed of lightning.
Kui Li observed coldly, and the black and white Qi shrouding her rushed ahead. The black Qi turned white, and there was a great fire. The white light was bright and rushed madly against the Nine-Headed Demon King.
This was the occult technique of Transformation of Yin to Yang, and it was very powerful.
As the fire made contact with the wall of river, the current started burning as though it was the oil in a hot wok. The heat rushed mercilessly at the Nine-Headed Demon King.
The heat made its way into the Nine-Headed Demon King’s body, and smoke started coming out of his orifices.
“Nice!” The Nine-Headed Demon King yelled, and yet he still maintained his form and did not revert to his original form.
He opened his mouth and took in the rest of the white Qi. Then, he shut off the acupoints in his body. The white clouds and steam disappeared immediately. His nose swelled up, and a white stream of smoke rushed out of his expanded nostrils. The stream of smoke crossed each other as though they were a pair of scissors. Out of a sudden, they attacked Kui Li.
Kui Li was unmoved. A stream of clouds started forming underneath her feet, and she dodged towards the side. However, she still lost a strand of hair to it. Her hair was set on fire mid-air, and not even ashes were left behind.
“Shifting Yin into Yang, Qian Kun One Qi, seems like you know what you are doing,” the Nine-Headed Demon King was knowledgeable, and he recognized the occult technique that Kui Li was cultivating. It was the likes of Qian Kun One Qi. Moreover, she could transform Yin into Yang. Most Daoist Xuanmen would not have techniques as such.
Anyhow, that would not change things. The better her background, the happier he was. He would feel proud bringing her out.
Kui Li snickered. So far the Demon King had not used any form of supernatural powers yet. With just his brute Mana, he managed to corner her into the black river. What was even scarier was how the Xuan Yang Pure Fire created by Qian Kun One Qi and shifting Yin into Yang did not affect him at all.
She knew that there was no way that she could rival the Demon King, and she would have to vindicate herself another day. Back when she escaped from that place, she cultivated The Occult Technique of Great Yin Yang and Five Elements against the norm, which had led to the huge decrease in her Mana.
Kui Li did not plan to fight to her death and decided to leave. A five-color ray started flashing in the sky, and an unknown bird extended its wings and was ready to take flight.
The Nine-Headed Demon King would not allow her to escape so easily. He had always been clean-cut with his actions, and he knew that the girl had some sort of background. He would not give her the chance to seek help and to bring him trouble. If he captured her now, she would not be able to change anything when everything was a done deal.
He willed a black ray to manifest itself, and it turned into a strange dragon. The dragon rushed towards the five-color ray and Kui Li reverted to her original form. She knew that the strange dragon made from black ray was dangerous as it carried some part of the Nine-Headed Demon King’s Mana with it.
She slanted her wings slightly and almost managed to dodge it. However, the strange dragon was flexible, and it tailed behind her effortlessly.
The Nine-Headed Demon King created eight more black rays, and all of them were dragons with just heads and without feet. They surrounded Kui Li from all directions.
The bird whose name was unknown flew flexibly as it tried to get the dragons off its tail, but its effort was unfruitful.
The Nine-Headed Demon King was in no hurry. He decided to operate his Mana slowly and pushed Kui Li to the point of exhaustion.
Kui Li realized this too; she yelped sadly and her desperate voice appealed to one’s empathy.
The Nine-Headed Demon King frowned and felt spiritual pressure coming through from Kui Li’s direction. At the same time, Kui Li extended its wings elegantly and spat out a ball with the size of a pigeon egg. The light that was attached to it detached itself, and the Xuan Yang Pure Fire that was ten over times brighter than the one before exploded from it. The nine strange dragons were turned into ashes. The five-color ray immediately merged into the body of a mountain, and the Nine-Headed King felt the surge of a certain Five Elements spiritual force before it disappeared from his senses.
Kui Li went as far as damaging her inner elixir just to get out of the situation earlier. At the same time, she had used an occult escape technique. Through that, she managed to make its way into the mountain and escaped through the ground.
The Nine-Headed Demon King was troubled by this. At the same time, he was surprised by her determination. He could tell that the little girl did not even have the strength to shapeshift anymore and her life was probably shortened by a good chunk. It was a difficult injury to recover from, and she might have to go through another round of Lightning Trials of Transformation again. To a certain extent, she was reverted to her original form permanently.
All these bitter years spent in cultivation had gone down the drain; it was as good as being reborn and starting cultivating from scratch.
It was morning again, and Shen Lian pushed open the door of the Daoist temple. The snow had sealed the mountain off completely, and it was very peaceful and quiet. All he saw was white, and he felt refreshed. A sparrow flew over and stopped right in front of him.
