Zhuge Zhengqi did not answer. He took out a handful of yellow paper with spells drawn on it from his arms.
Seeing the yellow paper in the ugly Taoist priest's hand, the muscles in the corners of the old man's eyes twitched twice.
It looked like he wanted to rush over, but the small flag in front of him blocked his way.
Both of them are magic weapons from heaven, and it would take a lot of effort even for you to crack them.
But it was absolutely impossible for the old man to let Qiu Beidou go.
The old man watched Zhuge Zhengqi select four or five talismans and light them with a flick of his finger.
The ashes turned into by burning the talisman paper were scattered everywhere with a flick of the ugly Taoist priest's hand.
The old man seemed a little afraid of the ashes, and once again stepped back to avoid these inconspicuous paper ashes.
Seeing that the old man had been forced back, Zhuge Zhengqi also took a breath. After taking a deep breath, he said to me:
"Now I'm wasting my time with the old devil,
The star official corrected his destiny, and when he returned, it was the time of his death.
This is a magic weapon passed to me by Mr. Beidou when he was still in power. The old devil cannot break it."
After hearing what the ugly Taoist priest said, I looked at Fatty Qiu, who I was supporting, with a confused look on my face, and said:
"The magic weapons you passed on are so awesome, how could you still fall for this old gangster?
If I had known this earlier, I should have killed him from the beginning.
Why are you being so polite? Are you regretting it now?
Dude, your Mr. Beidou doesn’t know how to do that, right?”
"Won't."
Zhuge Zhengqi sat on the ground, stared at the old man opposite, and continued:
"Even if Mr. Beidou is not in power, he still has ways to protect himself.
This bit of poison won't do anything to him, it'll just make him suffer a little."
"Is that what you think?"
The old man sneered and then continued:
"What Qiu Beidou is suffering from is not an ordinary poison. No matter how powerful his Taoism is, he can only last for twelve hours at most.
If the poison is not detoxified at twelve hours, it will turn into a pool of pus and blood unless he ascends to immortality again.
You don't have to worry about the gods underground, they will be back within twelve hours.
I was once a god, and I know how long it will take to correct destiny."
When he said this, the old man paused for a moment, then laughed strangely and continued:
"It's only twelve hours, I can't wait"
While talking, the old man took out a leaf, put it on his lips and blew it gently.
I watched him blow in a decent manner for a long time, but I couldn't hear anything.
However, Zhuge Zhengqi's expression turned ugly. He clenched his fists and turned his head to look around.
I also saw something was wrong. I followed the ugly Taoist priest's gaze and saw various poisonous insects emerging from the gaps in the surrounding cave walls.
There are colorful long worms, translucent black centipedes, and scorpions with red poisonous hooks hanging from their buttocks.
Countless poisonous insects kept crawling out of the gaps, and then quickly crawled towards us.
"This is how you messed up your destiny."
After Zhuge Zhengqi took a deep breath, he continued to say to the old man:
"It's not the evil geniuses and treasures on the stage that mess up the destiny, it's these poisonous insects.
This is a trap set by you, you want to trick the superiors into correcting destiny, you madman - you want to kill the gods."
The old man sneered and looked at Zhuge Zhengqi. He did not answer directly, but just turned his attention to the poisonous insect that had already rushed over.
These poisonous insects rushed directly towards us, but as soon as they rushed to the old man's feet, the poisonous insects kept turning over and dying.
Unfortunately, there were too many poisonous insects. Looking at the old man, there was already a dense mass of darkness behind him, and they were rushing toward us one after another.
These poisonous insects stepped on the bodies of their companions. As soon as they took a step, they stretched out their legs and died on the ground.
The poisonous insects behind them stepped on their corpses and rushed towards us one after another.
After Zhuge Zhengqi saw this scene, his face turned white, he stared at the old man and said:
"You use the lives of these poisonous insects to consume the magic weapon's magic power.
This is a magic weapon passed down from heaven, can it be consumed by just these few poisonous insects?"
The old man looked at Zhuge Zhengqi and said slowly:
"I know better than you how much power this magic weapon has.
Have you forgotten that I was once a god?
The Lord of Palm Star Zhongtai who was equal to Qiu Beidou back then - Han Guanghu!"
At the same time as he shouted his name, the poisonous insect behind the old man seemed to have been beaten to death, and rushed towards him with grinning teeth.
Because there are so many dead poisonous insects, the poisonous insects behind us even have to rush out from the pile of dead insect corpses before they can continue to pounce on us.
Countless poisonous insects died, only to advance less than half a foot.
The old man continued to say to us:
"I know the weaknesses of magic weapons.
If it were an original heavenly magic weapon, this poisonous insect would naturally not be able to shake it even one bit.
Of course, a mortal like you cannot control the original magic weapon.
Qiu Beidou is really kind to you. He specially modified the magic weapon so that you can control it.
It's a pity, this change will give me an opportunity to take advantage of."
When he said this, the old man cut his palm with his nails, and then sprinkled the blood flowing out on the surrounding poisonous insects.
The poisonous insects that came into contact with blood became even crazier.
The poisonous insect that originally died after stepping over the corpse of his companion actually ran four or five steps before falling to the ground and dying.
Seeing that the poisonous insects began to advance faster and were getting closer to the command flag, Zhuge Zhengqi also took the risk.
He looked back at me and whispered:
"Don't miss the fact that you can control the magic. I will lure the old devil here in a while, and you can use the magic to kill him."
After finishing speaking, the ugly Taoist bit the tip of his tongue and collected a large mouthful of blood. Then he took two steps forward and sprayed the large mouthful of blood on the command flag.
The moment the blood sprayed on the flag, the ground shook slightly.
As the ground shook, large swathes of poisonous insects around the old man died.
The old man figured out that the ugly Taoist priest would use such methods. He smiled slightly and said:
"Let me see how much essence and blood you have
For this day, I have been raising poisonous insects for a hundred years.
Do you have more essence and blood, or do I have more poisonous insects?"
While talking, the old man took out the leaf again, put it on his lips and blew it out.
This time I could also hear the sound coming from his mouth. The sound was so sharp that it seemed to pierce the eardrum.
As the old man blew the leaves again, poisonous insects poured out from the gaps in the cave wall like a tide.
After reaching the ground, it swept towards us like a wave.
At this time, Zhuge Zhengqi's face turned blue. He walked directly to the flag, took out a dagger and cut his wrist, letting the blood flow continuously on the flag.
