Chapter 7: Sword Pill Unleashed
Li Boyang has always been a man of action, and this time was no exception.
As Li Boyang’s consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness in his dantian, the sword pill within him also began to stir.
This was the first time Li Boyang attempted to control the sword pill outside his body; he wasn’t sure what the consequences would be, but he knew he couldn’t just watch Xiluo die.
Buzz!
It seemed like the sound of a sword, yet it might have been an illusion.
At the moment Li Boyang’s consciousness sank into the sword pill, his perspective detached from his physical body.
The normal five senses were lost, replaced by some mysterious, almost sixth-sense-like sword pill perspective.
Li Boyang was familiar with this perspective.
Because, during his embryonic stage, he had used this perspective to observe the movements of the outside world.
Buzz!
In an instant, the golden sword pill turned from virtual to real, flying out from the dantian.
During this process, Li Boyang did not feel his connection to the physical body being severed; instead, it felt as if his soul was split into two.
A part of the soul stayed in the body, while more of it merged with the golden sword pill.
With a thought, the golden sword pill adjusted its state and shot out, aptly described as effortless and following one’s will.
Whoosh!
By the time the sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The golden sword pill had already flown out through the crack in the door, shooting towards the battlefield over ten kilometers away.
However, what Li Boyang didn’t notice was that at the moment the sword pill shot out.
A little girl who looked no more than six or seven years old was standing not far outside the door, watching everything happen with wide eyes and open mouth.
In this era of general food shortage and malnutrition.
This little girl’s actual age should be slightly older than she appeared.
Even so, watching the golden light shooting out from the house, the little girl remained in a daze, unable to gather her wits for a long time.
"The... the Mountain God... has shown its spirit!"
It wasn’t until the golden light completely disappeared from her view that the little girl, still speaking with difficulty, stammered out the words.
...........................
Whoosh!
The golden light tore through the air, streaking across the sky.
In supersonic flight, it wasn’t long before the sword pill appeared near the battlefield.
The golden sword pill flashed and instantly arrived, followed by a sonic boom echoing in the air.
Due to its extreme speed, Nai Fu, who was engaged in battle, didn’t even have time to react before one of its heads was sliced off by the sword.
"Ah!"
With a heartrending wail.
Nai Fu, now left with only one head, suddenly spewed even more ferocious flames.
Taking this chance, the Red Leopard stepped on the fire cloud, traversing the flames, and with a speed almost ghostly, it fiercely bit towards the lone dragon head.
Who would have expected that Nai Fu’s head would react at the last moment?
"Damn Mountain Ghost! You’re courting death!"
Nai Fu, filled with grief and anger, managed to turn back, enduring immense pain, sending Evil Qi rolling along with flames, turning it into something tangible.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the golden sword pill, which had already gone far, unexpectedly returned again.
Before Nai Fu could perish along with Xiluo.
The golden sword pill broke through the barriers of heavy Evil Qi and flames, successfully severing Nai Fu’s second head.
The entire process was fluid and accomplished in one motion.
Nai Fu appeared as fragile as cattle and sheep awaiting slaughter, leaving Xiluo, who was originally prepared to die, stunned and wide-eyed.
As for Li Boyang, the instigator?
At this moment, he was still immersed in the exhilarating sensation of flashing swords and blades.
Fully immersing himself in the golden sword pill, Li Boyang experienced a subtle feeling different from the physical body.
Breaking the sound barrier, killing without a trace of blood...
Under the command of Li Boyang’s will, the golden sword pill excelled far beyond the physical body in terms of speed, lethality, and even sensitivity.
Unintentionally, some fragmented memories were awakened.
These were the memories from when Li Boyang had first arrived in this world, being refined into a sword pill by a strange old man.
At that time, Li Boyang’s heart was filled with anger and a desire to kill, using this anger and desire as a medium, he broke through the Tripod Furnace’s restraints and killed the old man.
The battle between them spanned thousands of kilometers until the strange old man was slain near Feilai Peak.
[Is this the memory I lost?]
Without the constraints of a physical body, Li Boyang in sword pill form appeared particularly calm.
No, using the word "calm" to describe Li Boyang at this moment was actually inaccurate.
More accurately, without the stimulation of various biological hormones, Li Boyang in this state was closer to being emotionless and indifferent.
——Without emotion or desire, and equally without knowledge or perception.
Li Boyang instinctively knew that if he continued to maintain this state, he would become that cold sword pill again.
Li Boyang, who had lived two lives, obviously did not intend to sever emotions and desires to become a cold killing machine.
Therefore, with hardly any hesitation.
The golden sword pill traced a beautiful arc in the sky before heading back in the direction it came from without looking back.
Whoosh!
Just like when it came, the golden sword pill once again abruptly disappeared.
Leaving only Xiluo, deep in thought, staring in the direction where the sword pill disappeared, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Rumble...
It wasn’t until Nai Fu’s body fell from the sky, stirring up a cloud of dust in the mountains and forests.
Xiluo finally came to her senses, her expression rather peculiar, as she transformed back into her original raccoon form.
And it was at this moment that a light Evil Qi emerged from Nai Fu’s corpse, flowing along the earth veins towards Li Boyang’s position.
"Nai Fu, the white-winged two-headed one, a dragon, dies as an embodiment of Evil Qi."
Seeing this scene, Xiluo hesitated for a moment, but could only shake her head regretfully.
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Because she knew she was powerless to stop the flow of that Evil Qi.
Nai Fu, born of heaven and earth, was a Ghost God nurtured by Evil Qi, belonging to the dragon species Dragon Bird.
Any creature that kills Nai Fu is inevitably cursed by it, becoming possessed by Evil Qi.
This was also a major reason why the Valkyrie from a thousand years ago, despite having the ability to kill Nai Fu, ultimately chose to seal it instead.
When the golden sword pill severed Nai Fu’s first head, Xiluo knew things had become complicated.
She originally intended to crush Nai Fu’s second head herself before Li Boyang, to take the lead in killing the opponent.
Unexpectedly, that golden sword pill turned around its blade so quickly, swiftly severing Nai Fu’s second head.
"That guy is so reckless, truly fearless out of ignorance!"
Muttering unclearly to herself, Xiluo began Cloud Formation and Rainfall, summoning sweet dew to extinguish the remaining Ice and Fire Evil Qi.
This was Xiluo’s divine ability as the Mountain God of the region.
She had to resolve the residual effects following Nai Fu’s death quickly before she could visit Li Boyang again.
"Even in death, it leaves so much trouble..."
"Elder sister was right; you truly are a calamity."
Looking at the incomplete corpse of Nai Fu, Xiluo hesitated momentarily before ultimately choosing to drag them back to the nearby Mountain God Temple.
