“Heavenly King Cauldron!”
Suddenly, Si Kong Xuan shouted loudly, and a huge bronze cauldron flew out from his palm, then covered towards Ling Xiao.
After the bronze cauldron flew out, it grew larger in the wind, instantly reaching seven or eight metres high, absolutely able to completely cover Ling Xiao.
“I didn’t expect that to capture Ling Xiao, this Si Kong Xuan even brought out the Heavenly King Sect’s treasured artefact. This should be a divine-grade treasure, right?”
“Yes, the divine-grade treasure, Heavenly King Cauldron! Once trapped inside, it’s impossible to escape!”
In the distance, Yue Nv also noticed the situation here, her face changed drastically, and she attempted to turn back to rescue Ling Xiao.
But the Holy Emperor and Si Kong Zun were not pushovers, they stubbornly held her back, even if she wanted to risk injury to save him, she couldn’t.
All eyes on the scene turned to Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao was captured, Yue Nv would have to be cautious, and this battle would end immediately.
“Hmph, that kid deserves it!”
In the crowd, Mo Wu Shang snorted coldly. He had suffered too much at Ling Xiao’s hands today, so seeing Ling Xiao in crisis, he became excited instead.
“I guess it’s about to end. Even if Yue Nv is powerful, relying on her alone, she can’t protect Ling Xiao completely.”
The Blood Blade Sect Master shook his head, unsure if it was relief or a sigh.
Clang!
The sound of the bronze cauldron buckling down on the ground rang out, and Ling Xiao was directly covered inside.
“Hahaha, you kid, you have this day too. Watch me swallow you alive!”
With the bronze cauldron controlling Ling Xiao, Si Kong Xuan laughed heartily. Not long ago in the True Demon Forbidden Land, he had been humiliated, and just now here, he was humiliated again, both times by this kid Ling Xiao.
He absolutely couldn’t swallow this anger.
So the moment he captured Ling Xiao, he prepared to retract the bronze cauldron.
That sturdy bronze cauldron suddenly cracked open a seam.
“There’s something!”
The sharp-eyed referee saw a seven-coloured light.
It was a butterfly!
When everyone saw clearly what had bitten through the cauldron, they were all stunned.
It was a very beautiful butterfly.
It was small, but it was continuously devouring that divine-grade treasure.
Even more terrifying, Si Kong Xuan, without any precaution, was hit by a beam of light sprayed from the butterfly, striking his chest.
“Ah—!”
A scream came from Si Kong Xuan’s mouth, his body like a deflated ball, flying erratically in the sky.
As if completely out of control, the heavenly essence force in his body was also crazily leaking out.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
Including Yue Nv, the Holy Emperor, and Si Kong Zun who were in fierce battle, they actually stopped at the same time and looked over here.
Yue Nv knew Ling Xiao well, but she was still somewhat puzzled.
As for the others, they were completely dumbfounded, their eyes and jaws almost dropping to the ground at the same time.
What was this situation?
A dignified Transcendent Realm powerhouse was actually knocked flying by a martial artist who had just entered the Celestial Realm?
“No, it wasn’t Ling Xiao who did it, it was that butterfly!”
After all, there were perceptive people in the field, who quickly judged that the one who attacked Si Kong Xuan was the butterfly, not Ling Xiao.
“Could this be Ling Xiao’s transformation?”
“Nonsense, what kind of transformation is this? This should be his never-used trump card, some ferocious pet?”
Regarding Ling Xiao, those present who had watched the Martial Dao Festival finals had some understanding.
This kid had so many trump cards, it was overwhelming, who knew what incredible means this guy would suddenly pull out.
“Stinking kid, what the hell did you do!”
On the ground, Si Kong Xuan, who finally controlled his body, was furious like thunder. Just being attacked by the butterfly once, his heavenly essence force had leaked out a lot, now his strength was at most equivalent to the ninth heaven of the Celestial Realm.
Although still much stronger than Ling Xiao, the previously insurmountable gap was gone.
At least wanting to kill Ling Xiao in one move was not very possible.
Plus, having been bitten by a snake once and fearing the well rope for ten years, he was now filled with dread and didn’t dare approach Ling Xiao, only roaring with a gloomy face.
To be honest, Ling Xiao was also surprised.
He originally thought he was really in trouble this time, but who knew the butterfly from the Mountain River World would come out on its own, bite through the Heavenly King Cauldron, and even injure Si Kong Xuan.
This was simply a huge surprise.
He had let that little butterfly stay in his Mountain River World, providing good food and drink, which could be considered benevolent to the utmost. This little thing probably came out to repay the favour.
“What a peculiar little guy. Unfortunately, to this day, I still don’t know what you are. You’re a butterfly, but where in the world is there such a powerful butterfly? Anyway, no matter what, thank you.”
Ling Xiao stretched his limbs, let the little butterfly land on his hand, then smiled at Si Kong Xuan. “Old thing, if you have the guts, come over again. I want to see how much heavenly essence force you have left to consume.”
Over there, Yue Nv saw that Ling Xiao was fine, naturally no longer worried, and attacked the Holy Emperor and Si Kong Zun again.
Before, those two had held her back.
But now, she was holding them back, giving Ling Xiao enough time to enter the Nine Cauldrons Illusion.
“What the hell is that thing?”
Si Kong Xuan didn’t dare approach Ling Xiao, just kept roaring.
“Si Kong Xuan, you waste, what’s scary about a little butterfly? Capture Ling Xiao, that little thing should be useless!”
Si Kong Zun shouted during the battle.
But because of this shout, he was hit by Yue Nv’s palm, his chest almost caving in.
This was the result of getting distracted while fighting a master. This Si Kong Zun didn’t take Yue Nv seriously enough.
But for a Yin-Yang Realm powerhouse, a caved-in chest was nothing, it recovered in a moment, but this consumed his Yin-Yang Jade.
After reaching the Yin-Yang Realm, the heavenly veins in the body turn into Yin-Yang Jade, which can bring martial artists back from the dead.
But consuming a bit means less, and it can even lead to regression in cultivation. If consumed to only about thirty percent left, there’s life danger.
So unless absolutely necessary, even Yin-Yang Realm martial artists wouldn’t easily do this.
But Si Kong Zun had no choice, with a great enemy at hand, he could only use the Yin-Yang Jade to repair the injury.
“Brother Xuan, don’t be afraid. You just deal with Ling Xiao, leave this little butterfly to this venerable to handle!”
The speaker was surprisingly the Imperial Physician of the Holy Dynasty, Miracle Hand Heavenly Venerable Sun Shang.
Although Miracle Hand Heavenly Venerable Sun Shang had always been called “Heavenly Venerable”, in fact, his cultivation had long broken through the Transcendent Realm. After all, as the most powerful alchemist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, even if his cultivation aptitude was a bit poor, with endless miraculous pills, he was faster than ordinary people.
“Good!”
Although unclear why Sun Shang suddenly acted, with him helping, Si Kong Xuan immediately felt much more at ease.
