Chapter 609: Hot Potato (First update in April, please give me your guaranteed monthly pass!)
Zhe Huali's eyes flickered as he looked at the box and tried to open it. However, the box was tightly closed, with no place to pry it open. Even if he used the magic sword to chop it, it would not leave any mark.
Zhe Huali had cold sweat on his forehead. He tried all kinds of magical powers to break the seal, even the magic power taught to him by Fu Riluo, but he still couldn't open the box.
He looked up and saw phoenix feathers floating in the air like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, but they were not withered yellow leaves, but blood-red maple leaves.
Qin Mu was riding on Qi Jiuyi in mid-air, plucking its feathers and hammering it, leaving the nine-headed phoenix covered in blood.
Qi Jiuyi was also extremely ferocious. Although his nine heads were stabbed by the sword, he twisted his neck, opened his nine phoenix beaks, and sprayed out rays of mysterious light to kill Qin Mu.
Qin Mu continued to hammer him hard without paying any attention, and the butcher knives on Qi Jiuyi's nine phoenix heads suddenly flew out, leaving only nine flying swords still stuck in the phoenix heads.
The other flying swords performed the "Sword Walking on Mountains and Rivers" technique, forming a pattern of mountains and rivers in front of Qin Mu. No matter how the nine heads bombarded it, the pattern of mountains and rivers remained unbroken.
However, Qin Mu's hammering was too fierce. The magical powers he used to bombard Qi Jiuyi's body were not simply physical magical powers, but he mobilized magical powers such as the Yin-Yang Flipping Hand and the Five Thunders Sky-Bearing Bell. Sometimes, thousands of stars appeared behind him, and he exerted the power of the Daluo Tianxing Palm.
The power of any kind of magical power is like splitting mountains and cracking rocks, and it is not just the Shinto magical powers. Qin Mu also displays the weird and sinister magic powers from time to time. Although the power is not as strong as the Shinto magical powers - it should be because he did not spend much energy on the magic magical powers, but the magic magical powers are precisely aimed at Qi Jiuyi's body, corroding his body, eroding his soul, and greatly reducing the resistance of his body!
This is the most terrifying thing.
Zhe Huali saw this and couldn't help but shudder. If Qin Mu's magical powers were to hit him, he would probably be torn to pieces, and his soul would be shattered and his body would be beaten into mud if he couldn't withstand too many attacks!
“Qi Jiuyi was able to survive being beaten like this, he is indeed stronger than me. His body has a peculiar self-repairing ability, so he can hold out longer. But he won’t be able to hold out for long before he is beaten to death by Qin Mu! If Qi Jiuyi dies, and I can’t open the small box and obtain the Mysterious God-Slaying Blade, then the next person Qin Mu will kill will be…”
Zhe Huali took a long breath, flew into the air, pulled out the magic sword from behind him, and threw it out. The magic sword flew across the air and swung violently, and a huge monster eye appeared behind the magic sword.
This demon eye appeared, and the sword light was reflected in the eye. Suddenly, the sword light was flying all over the sky, rushing towards Qin Mu and Qi Jiuyi.
The long sword is mighty. Zhe Huali's swordsmanship is different from the butcher's Nine Heavenly Sword Methods. The Nine Heavenly Sword Methods are upright and do not require precise calculations, but they seek a majestic momentum of righteousness, and turn the upright brilliance in the chest of the literati into sword light and display it!
And Zhe Huali's swordsmanship was mostly inherited from the Divine Sword Luo Wushuang. The Divine Sword Luo's swordsmanship was sophisticated in calculations, and was somewhat similar to the Taoist sword. However, the Taoist sword used numerology to deduce the great way, while the Divine Sword Luo's swordsmanship used rules to establish the great way.
This is the biggest difference between the two.
Zhe Huali raised his sword and laughed, "Two senior brothers, let's put today's matter aside for now. I'm here to help you two resolve your dispute. We are all on the same alien planet, so we should live in harmony and work together to find a way to leave. Why do we have to kill each other?"
Having said that, his swordsmanship did not have the slightest intention of resolving the dispute. Most of the power in his swordsmanship was directed at Qin Mu, while the sword light that fell on Qi Jiuyi was just a touch.
After all, Qi Jiuyi was seriously injured, and if he was stabbed again, he might not be able to withstand it. And Qin Mu still looked vigorous, so he had to dampen his arrogance and make him retreat.
His sword light came towards him, and Qin Mu immediately stretched out his hand to grab it. The map of mountains and rivers transformed by the sword's feet immediately shrank into his hand and turned into a sword ball.
Qin Mu swung his sword, and a sword light as thick as a bucket appeared in the sword ball. The sword pillar met the demon sword, and was shocked so much that his body trembled and flew backwards, leaving Qi Jiuyi's back.
He used his great magical powers repeatedly, various magical powers were unleashed like rain, and he had very little energy left, and was unable to confront Zhe Huali head-on.
Zhe Huali failed to kill him with one strike of the sword. He sighed secretly and put away the sword lights in the sky.
Thousands of sword lights in the air merged together and transformed into a magic sword that flew back and inserted into the sword bag on his back.
After all, Zhe Huali had just been defeated by Qi Jiuyi and was covered in wounds. Although his remaining vitality was stronger than Qin Mu's, he thought he might not be able to defeat Qin Mu if a fight really broke out.
Moreover, if he killed Qin Mu, he would have to face Qi Jiuyi alone. Qi Jiuyi's strength was also above his, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat him.
Zhe Huali sheathed his sword and said with a smile, "Two senior brothers, on this alien planet, we are all so close that we can't see each other when we look up or down. Why don't we each take a step back and see what will happen next?"
Qi Jiuyi's real body fell to the ground, his body shook, he cried out in pain, and slowly turned into a human body. There were nine swords stuck on his nine heads. When the nine heads merged into one, the nine flying swords did not merge into one, and almost tore his wounds open.
Qi Jiuyi hurriedly drew his sword. His back was covered in blood, his bones were broken, and his tendons were torn. He had countless ribs broken. He could only hunch over.
Originally he was a handsome young man with elegant manners, but after being beaten by Qin Mu, he was even more miserable than the last time he was beaten by Qin Mu and Zhe Huali. He could no longer be called a handsome young man.
Fortunately, he has an amazing self-recovery ability, so as long as he doesn't die, it won't be a big deal.
Qin Mu walked over, and the three of them stood in a three-way stalemate.
Qin Mu looked at his nine flying swords and said amiably, "Brother Qi is very capable. If he hadn't used this mirror to immobilize me, he wouldn't have lost. Our fight to the death is a 50-50 one. Brother Qi, can you return the nine flying swords to me?"
Qi Jiuyi snorted coldly and held the nine swords tightly: "Fifty-fifty? You underestimate the magical power of the heavenly court. Brother Qin, will you return the mirror to me?"
"No."
Qin Mu waved his hand and said, "Keep the nine swords for now. I will take them back after I kill you. Senior Brother Li, can you return this small box to me? I paid for it with my life. If it weren't for my quick wit, I would have almost died when you two blocked the door with your magical powers."
Zhe Huali laughed dryly twice and said seriously: "Brother Qin, you should kill me and then take it back."
"How can I feel embarrassed about this?" Qin Mu said with a smile on his face.
Qi Jiuyi was also staring at the small box in Zhe Huali's hand. Zhe Huali's eyes flickered and he asked tentatively, "Brother Qi is of noble status. Your teacher has a very high position in the Heavenly Court. I think he knows how to open this box. Can you tell me?"
Qi Jiuyi coughed violently, coughing up pieces of broken bones. His hunched body straightened a little, and the sword mark on his forehead left by Qin Mu was slowly shrinking, which made Zhe Huali and Qin Mu feel nervous.
Qi Jiuyi's recovery speed is too strong. He is simply an immortal and indestructible body. He can recover so quickly even with such serious injuries.
The reason he spat out broken bones was probably because new ribs were growing in his chest cavity.
Qin Mu was extremely envious. This kind of immortal body was really useful. He just didn't know whether it was the result of Qi Jiuyi's emperor-level skills or the racial talent of the Jiufeng clan.
After Qi Jiuyi coughed for a while, he felt better and said breathlessly, "Give me the small box, I'll help you open it." Obviously, although he could make wounds heal and broken bones regenerate quickly, it put a great burden on his body, otherwise he would not look so tired.
Zhe Huali shook his head and said, "If the small box falls into your hands, you open the box and take out the God-Slaying Blade, Brother Qin and I will be beheaded immediately."
Qin Mu suggested, "How about this, Senior Brother Li, let's kill Brother Qi first, and then work together to figure out how to open the small box. One person's wisdom is inferior to the other's, so if we combine our wisdom, we will definitely be able to open it!"
Zhe Huali smiled and said, "If I believe you, it's not that we are both smarter, but I am the only one who is stupid."
The three of them were in a stalemate.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind them: "You are fighting over this, but have you ever asked me, the real owner? The little box should be returned to its original owner."
Qin Mu and the other two's faces changed drastically, they looked hurriedly in the direction of the sound, only to see the skinny Chi Xi walking towards them with two legs that looked like dry firewood, and he was not far from here!
The three heads of this executioner from the Chi Ming era looked like shriveled black eggplants, with deep eye sockets and eyeballs like dried dates.
The necks under his three heads were also weak, as if they could not support their own heads.
He looked like a giant shrimp with three heads, with his three arms on the left side leaning on a cane. He must have come here with difficulty using the cane.
Qin Mu and Qi Jiuyi had fought fiercely here, and the noise was great. It was not difficult for Chixi to find this place. However, he looked very difficult to walk with the stick, and no one knew how he had walked all the way. After all, Qin Mu had already fled for a long way before he met Qi Jiuyi.
I think Chixi must have great magical powers. Although it is difficult to walk, he can use some of his magic power.
Qin Mu's forehead was bulging with blue veins, but he was thinking of something else and muttered, "It's raining?"
"Yes, it's raining."
Chixi looked like he was going to die at any moment. He said weakly, "It started raining again not long after you left. God has mercy on me. I finally got to drink some water that was not poisonous."
Qin Mu blinked and stood there motionless. Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali were already slowly retreating. Suddenly, they both turned around and ran away!
Bang bang.
The two of them hit an invisible wall and were bounced back.
Chi Xi said calmly: "No one in this world has ever escaped from me... Well, you are the first one. You escaped, you should be proud."
He was referring to Qin Mu, who gave a simple smile.
Suddenly, Zhe Huali threw the small box directly into Qin Mu's hand and said loudly: "Brother Qin, I'll return your treasure to you! The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and the waters flow forever. Farewell, senior!" After that, he turned around, but bumped into the invisible wall again.
Zhe Huali had no choice but to turn back and stand still obediently.
On the other side, Qin Mu's simple smile froze. He caught the small box and immediately threw it to Qi Jiuyi, saying with a smile, "Brother Qi, if you can open the box, it's yours!"
"He is just a mummy from the Chi Ming era, and he dares to go against the Heavenly Court. Let me kill him!"
Qi Jiuyi smiled faintly, his ten fingers flying, runes continuously flowing out from his fingertips, trying to unlock the box.
After a while, his face turned pale. He couldn't open the box at all!
The box in Heaven that contained the Mysterious God-Slaying Sword was also sealed. He knew the rune sequence to unlock it, but the rune array needed to unlock this box from the Chi Ming era was obviously different from the one in Heaven!
The muscles at the corners of Qi Jiuyi's eyes twitched and he looked at Qin Mu in despair. Qin Mu looked up at the sky, stomping on the ground with his toes, pretending to appreciate the clouds in the sky.
Qi Jiuyi looked at Zhe Huali eagerly. Zhe Huali picked his nails seriously, then put his thumb nail in his mouth and bit it.
Qi Jiuyi looked at the three-headed, six-armed "mummy" walking towards him with trembling eyes. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He knelt down and held up the small box: "Senior, spare my life!"
Chixi sneered, and walked over tremblingly with his stick: "This box is naturally sealed with runes from the Chiming era. You are using your so-called runes from the heaven to decipher it, isn't that like playing the lute to a cow? You three are not going to fight over this box, are you? It's fun to fight over it, keep fighting."
Qin Mu blinked and looked at Zhe Huali.
Zhe Huali was also looking at him, thinking, "He must be thinking the same as I am, wondering whether he should kneel down and beg for his life. Should he kneel down or not?"
He was extremely conflicted.
Qin Mu thought to himself, "It seems that Zhe Huali is indeed my formidable enemy. He has the same idea as me. Chixi is determined to take the lives of the three of us and use our blood to nourish his body. He must be as dignified as I am."
"Is there no one fighting for this box?"
Chixi sneered and walked forward with his stick, heading towards Qi Jiuyi: "If no one wants it, I will..."
Suddenly a voice came: "I want it!"
A hand reached out and gently took the small box from Qi Jiuyi's hand.
