Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 993 - 508: Yingdi Cave (Part 2)

This technique was naturally known to Chen Xuantian as well. In the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques, it is called the Fetal Transformation and Shape-shifting, allowing one to change into a human form after refining, undergoing Daoist Embryo Transformation, and from then on, alter one’s appearance, transforming into the true self, making it difficult to discern the original form.

If one truly can refine to this level, calling them demons would no longer be suitable. They would at least be considered True Man, having access to various magic treasures, Divine Skills, secret techniques, and Escape Technique of the Mystic Sect. One must be cautious and prepared during confrontations.

However, those creatures Ran Yi and the Tuo encountered earlier were clearly not powerful enough. Thus, it seems that the two demon beasts are likely just minions under the command of the cave master. Where there’s one or two, there may very well be a third. It’s possible that the small monsters in the cave are not just the two of them, nor can it be guaranteed that the monsters here only transform into humans. Perhaps there are other clever tactics hidden as well.

At present, Chen Xuantian exercised caution, thoroughly searching inside and outside the cave before finding Nangong Che’s head...

Damn! Ate so fast?

Chen Xuantian was startled, but upon closer inspection, realized he was mistaken.

Alright, this head is not Nangong Che’s head; it just looks like Nangong Che’s head...

Hmm, it’s a company’s insect egg.

Similar things were seen in Tie Dan, no, Huangfu Yi’s dream. To describe it with words, it’s like the kind of pill bug that curls into a ball when stimulated.

However, when it curls up, the shell on the insect’s back mimics Nangong Che’s face. At this moment, the head is placed on the dressing table, facing a mirror, baring its teeth and exercising muscles, groaning with aoeiuyu sounds while training speech. Meanwhile, a blood vessel-like insect proboscis extends from beneath the neck, sucking the Essence Blood from a porcelain bowl.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Xuantian roughly understood the situation and silently left the demon’s bedroom, following the scent of blood in search until reaching a stone wall.

That stone wall was smooth as a mirror, and the material unknown to the touch. Looking closely, traces of vermillion talisman seal could still be seen on the wall, though not clearly. If one were to use Earth Tunneling Technique to pass through, it might take some calculations.

But Chen Xuantian was not in a hurry, squatting in a shadowy corner beside the stone wall, waiting for roughly forty-five minutes. Suddenly, the stone wall rippled like water, followed by a light splash, like a beauty emerging from the bath. From the stone wall, a shapely figure gradually emerged.

Chen Xuantian remained silent, with sword energy held in mouth, breath bated, watching as the beauty in the wall stepped out, lightly on her snow feet, swaying her hips gracefully from the wall. With only a silk sash tied at her waist to absorb sweat, she lightly licked her red lips, sucked on her onion-like fingers, holding a jade bowl, paddling barefoot back to the bedroom. She probably intended to feed the head bug with the fresh extract.

Chen Xuantian stared at the beauty’s backside for a moment and noticed dragon scales on her spine, contemplating for a while. He estimated she was some sort of Dragon Girl, having reached the Nascent Soul Realm. She was surely formidable with a copper head and iron walls, difficult to chop without a sword in hand. Thus, he refrained from action, watching her sway into the depths of the cave.

After waiting for a while, he indeed heard a thunderous boom that shook the mountain.

"Vile beasts! Return my Young Master!"

"Seeking death!"

At that instant, the beauty shrieked sharply, demon qi surged within the cave, and a foul wind whipped violently. Clearly, the monster had revealed its true form and emerged from the cave to battle.

Yet Chen Xuantian remained unmoving. Soon enough, another splash was heard from the stone wall as a child emerged.

That child was exceptionally ugly, with a fish head, snake tail, six legs, covered in fish scales, waist a full-length, evidently still cultivating a human form. Tumbling and crawling through the wall, shortly holding ’Nangong Che’s head’ and a yellow talisman, skipping and jumping back, he slapped the talisman paper onto the stone wall and dived headlong into the wall...

Thus, Chen Xuantian acted, springing up with Light Body Technique like a crane, revealing himself while the child was halfway through the wall, suddenly reaching out to rip the talisman off.

"Pop."

And thus, the six legs were left with only two over the wall, with intestines, internal organs mixed with bile spraying out, flesh splattered like a mountain, blood gushing like a spring, writhing and twisting for a full three minutes. Struggling, splashing demon blood and flesh all over the stone wall and cave, finally dying.

Chen Xuantian stood to the side, gazing at the yellow talisman in his hand, calculating in his mind and figuring it out, taking out some poisonous mushrooms from his pouch and scattering them on Ran Yi’s lower body’s wound, then pinching a formula, tapping his toes and passing through the wall, landing on Ran Yi’s fish head.

The other side of the wall was a large bath. Inside, steam rose thickly, mist swirling, seemingly fed by underground hot springs. The pool was filled with various herbs and fresh flowers to enhance the fragrance. Were it not for the fishy bloody smell, it would have seemed quite romantic.

The Young Master of the Nangong Family was soaking in the hot spring, asleep, either shocked by the demon’s capture or having exerted himself excessively, exhausted to the point of losing consciousness. Even though a bug shaped exactly like his own head was preparing to insert steel needle proboscis into his ear to suck his brain, he remained unaware.

However, the head bug was indeed aware, glaring at Chen Xuantian, who curiously watched from the side, caught in awkwardness.

Chen Xuantian waved,

"Don’t mind me, carry on."

The head bug, "..."

Chen Xuantian smiled cheerfully,

"Don’t be shy, whether you’re human or bug, it doesn’t bother me."

But the head bug clearly cared, "Ptooey!" With a sudden spray of strong acid, launching a sneak attack, directly shattering Chen Xuantian’s illusion, splattering onto the stone wall with a "ssss—!" sound, creating a large crater of corrosion.

Seeing things were not right, the head bug, regardless of sucking human brain fluid, quickly spread its shell wide, flailing its legs to flee, morphing into a pill bug-like creature, "plop!" diving into the pool, seemingly intending to escape through the waterway.

Chen Xuantian shrugged, pinched the formula for Water Manipulation, and with a "splash," lifted a water ball, trapping the insect within, leaving it unable to progress. Before it could make any further moves, Chen Xuantian directly utilized the Xuanming Technique, transforming water into ice, followed by sealing it with a talisman.

Then he approached the still unconscious Nangong Che, observing the young fellow, noting no missing limbs but clearly devoid of Essence Qi, slightly exhausted, without mortal danger. So, manipulating Qi, he wrapped some insect acid, smearing off the Primordial Spirit Seal resembling a kiss mark on his neck.

"Aah—!"

There was a furious dragon roar, shaking the hill room, causing water splashes in the hot spring to surge and ripple widely.

But Chen Xuantian remained composed, calculating on his fingers, waiting for the stone wall to ripple again, reaching out with a point.

"Scoundrel! What lowly creature dares disturb my cave, oooh ah ah ah—!!"

Then repeated the trick, but effectively, as the cave master, using Earth Escape Technique, attempted to pass through the stone, his head was instantly stuck in the copper wall.

With a "clang!" metallic echo, his head was transformed into a brass dragon head, at that moment rendered colossal yellow brass, tearing the spine apart and crashing to the ground, rolling together with the fish head, resembling a hideous twisted bronze sculpture. Overflowing Essence Blood sprayed directly from the neck wedged in the copper wall, injecting a torrent of blood into the hot spring. As for the graceful human form of the body, naturally stained bright red, wedged on the other side of the door.

Demonic creatures indeed have a lacking mind, not checking the corpse at the door, wasting his poison...

This trick? Oh, turning stones into gold, pointing the ground as copper, is not remarkable. Given his current Dao Power, he can barely fix such a large wall, only for a flick of a finger.

Yet it suffices to deal with those insufficiently refined Escape Technique, flaunting around and drilling through walls, assorted fish demon monsters.
