Chapter 155: Why was he able to advance two levels without cultivating?
Ling Yi appeared behind the disciple, placed his hand on the disciple's shoulder, and instantly, the disciple's power was absorbed by Ling Yi.
The disciple clearly felt his internal energy drain away in an instant, but before he could shout it out, the bone blade flashed and the disciple collapsed.
After taking down one person, Ling Yi turned her attention to the others.
One, two, three...
Ling Yi used his disciples to evade the elders' attacks and then absorbed all of their power for his own use.
As more and more disciples fell, the elders' disgust for Ling Yi grew stronger, and they shouted sternly, "Everyone else, step back!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Zhaoyue Sect stepped back, giving the space to the elders.
As soon as the disciples retreated, several elders attacked Ling Yi without any restraint. Ling Yi looked at the approaching elders and went to meet them.
When the strange fire clashed with the ice, the ice melted into water. Before the elders who controlled the ice could attack again, Ling Yi used a flash to create distance between them. Countless vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around the elders' bodies like snakes.
The vines weren't thick or sturdy, and the elders easily cut them down, but unfortunately...
As they cut the vines, a gentle breeze carried the flames to them.
The vines and the wind were unimportant, but the flames had to be avoided, as they were different from ordinary flames and were quite troublesome!
Just as the elders were dealing with the flames, Ling Yi moved and appeared behind one of the elders. The elder sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy and attacked Ling Yi with his backhand. Ling Yi did not use the bone knife, but instead struck out with his palm, colliding with the elder's palm. The power exploded, and the two were forced back at the same time.
Ling Yi landed on a rock, looking at the elder with an indifferent expression: "Is your hand alright?"
The elder stood still, intending to attack again, but upon hearing Ling Yi's words, he immediately looked at his hand, and what he saw shocked him.
His palms turned black, and the blackness was rapidly spreading up his arms.
"poisonous!"
The elder panicked and hurriedly tried to block the poison with his power, but the poison was extremely potent and his power could not stop it. In a short while, the poison had spread to his shoulder.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the spiritual energy, the elder immediately swung his sword and cut off his own hand, but it was too late. The poison traveled down his neck from his shoulder and spread throughout his body.
When the poison reached the heart, the elder's body began to smoke, and before everyone's eyes, it turned into a pool of black liquid. The liquid seeped into the soil, and the grass and trees on the ground withered instantly.
Everyone present was shocked to see this; what a powerful poison!
After dealing with one elder, Ling Yi looked at the remaining three elders and smiled, "It's your turn."
"Witch, you actually used poison!" The other three elders looked at Ling Yi and rebuked her, "You won unfairly!"
"Heh." Ling Yi sneered, "My victory was dishonorable, but you all ganging up on me is a victory of skill?"
The elder wanted to say something, but Ling Yi didn't give him a chance and attacked directly.
As Ling Yi's strength increased, her instantaneous flashes also became faster. However, the landing point of her instantaneous flashes would have spiritual energy fluctuations, which could be avoided as long as one's cultivation level was high enough. The elders were able to avoid Ling Yi's attacks, but the problem was that Ling Yi's flames were not only troublesome, but she was also poisonous, which made the elders quite troublesome.
The elders dared not engage Ling Yi in close combat and tried to force him back with their strength, but as soon as they created distance, Ling Yi could dodge their attacks with a flash.
The three of them ganged up on Ling Yi, but they couldn't even scratch him. Instead, they were forced to close in several times by Ling Yi, and almost touched his hand during the fight. The elders were so shocked that they retreated repeatedly to avoid Ling Yi's attacks.
Seeing the three old men keep dodging, Ling Yi simply put away his bone knife and unleashed his vines, flames, and wind all at once, then used Flash to close the distance and attack them.
The wind fueled the flames, the vines interfered with the elders, and Ling Yi flashed in to attack. The elders had no choice but to dodge.
No one expected that Ling Yi, a mere Level 1 Spirit Master, would push several elders to this point.
"puff"
The vines moved with Ling Yi, intertwining from all sides and separating him from one of the elders. The elder raised his hand and waved, sending flames flying that instantly burned the vines away. However, Ling Yi dodged directly and appeared behind him. The elder dared not turn around to attack and tried to dodge forward. But Ling Yi had anticipated this. The moment he landed, Ling Yi attacked again, appearing in front of the elder. With a wave of his hand, the elder's clothes were torn open, leaving several scratch marks on his chest.
The elder was startled and raised his hand to attack the elder's face. Ling Yi dodged to the side, grabbed the elder's hand and twisted it with a cracking sound.
"what!"
The elder let out a shrill scream. Ling Yi released the broken hand, appeared behind the elder, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and quickly devoured the elder's power before the poison could spread to his heart.
The elder was wounded in the chest, and the poison spread from his chest to his heart in an instant. As soon as Ling Yi began to absorb it, the old man started to emit smoke all over his body.
Ling Yi clicked her tongue and had no choice but to release the person.
As Ling Yi released his grip, the elder fell to the ground and, under everyone's watchful eyes, quickly turned into a puddle of liquid.
The remaining two elders were furious at the sight and charged at Ling Yi, shouting, "Run!"
"Go back and tell the sect leader, and ask him to avenge us!"
"Elder..."
"Go!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately summoned their flying beasts, attempting to flee.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang played her flute. As soon as the flute started playing, the disciples had a headache and were unable to gather their power to summon the flying beast.
While the disciples were wailing and clutching their heads, Ling Yi dealt with the remaining two elders.
Good news, the elder has resolved it.
The bad news is that because of the poison, it spread too quickly, and she didn't absorb much power at all.
After dealing with the elder, Ling Yi walked towards the disciples.
Ye Qingshuang's flute music caused the disciples pain and discomfort. Even when they saw Ling Yi approaching, they were unable to make a move and could only watch helplessly as Ling Yi got closer to them, placed his hand on their shoulders, and devoured their power.
After absorbing the disciples' power, Ling Yi touched their foreheads with his fingertip, and the poison entered their bodies, turning them all into a pool of black liquid.
After dealing with the disciples, Ling Yi sat down on the spot and began to transform the power he had devoured.
Ye Qingshuang and the others stood aside and watched as Ling Yi progressed from Level 1 Spirit Master to Level 2, then from Level 2 to Level 3, before finally stopping.
"This..." Bai Jiu exclaimed in astonishment, "How could you advance two levels without cultivating?"
Lin Chengtian and Lin Xinze, like Baijiu, knew nothing. Only Ye Qingshuang did not show any curiosity and simply watched Ling Yi transform his power.
Because of the devouring, the power within the disciples' bodies is absorbed and transformed, which can then help advance their cultivation.
