281: Drops two items at a time

As this "Evil Sword" flew out from its scabbard, it landed straight into the hand of the Gen Mountain Sect man. The moment he grasped it, his entire arm underwent a sudden mutation.

His entire arm instantly became thick and muscular.

Clumps of muscle bulged high.

It turned a dark, cyan-black color.

The eyes on his arm opened, revealing a pair of scarlet pupils filled with evil and chaos.

At the same time, above these scarlet pupils, there existed a Moon Mark.

Inside his palm was a mouth filled with ferocious, sharp teeth.

When the Gen Mountain Sect man completed this series of changes.

The moonlight that had been projected down from the Nether Moon, rendering Xiao Shi unable to move, dissipated.

It no longer bound Xiao Shi's body.

It was obvious.

Now that Xiao Shi was being treated with hostility by the Nether Moon, the Nether Moon above would constantly assist the Gen Mountain Sect man.

And the moment the moonlight dissipated.

Xiao Shi, who had been charging forward, immediately retreated.

He knew very well.

He had lost the upper hand.

Charging forward at this time would undoubtedly be like a sheep entering a tiger's den.

He could no longer thrust the [Moon Sealing Dagger] into the man's glabella before the opponent could react.

"The situation is not looking good..."

Xiao Shi frowned.

He could feel that.

Ever since he had taken out the [Moon Sealing Dagger], the Nether Moon above had been staring at him with deep hostility.

"This battle must be resolved quickly..."

"The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for me!"

Xiao Shi could foresee that.

If he continued to fight against him.

The Nether Moon above would harass him from time to time.

He had to eliminate this Gen Mountain Sect man before its next harassment arrived, otherwise, it would become increasingly troublesome.

What worried Xiao Shi the most now...

Was that the harassment from the Nether Moon would become more powerful over time.

In any case.

This battle had to be resolved quickly.

At this moment, the Gen Mountain Sect man, having merged with the "Evil Sword," seemed to have been influenced by some of the evil forces.

His eyes were filled with violent killing intent.

The strength of their Gen Mountain Sect.

Lay in the fact that after suppressing evil entities, they could choose to integrate the evil into their artifacts. When using the artifacts, they could combine with the evil, making it serve them.

This allowed them to utilize the power of the evil during battle, thereby erupting with even more formidable strength.

"Seal!!"

The Gen Mountain Sect man raised his entire hideous, massive arm.

He spread his palm, aiming it at Xiao Shi.

The flesh and blood on his entire arm squirmed crazily, and from the scarlet pupils upon it, a burst of blinding light erupted.

This light was incredibly powerful.

It could not be resisted.

It could not be evaded!

Even though Xiao Shi had encountered similar attacks before and was prepared this time, closing his eyes immediately, it was useless.

Even if he did not open his eyes to see this light.

The light still penetrated directly into his body, causing a dense patch of scarlet eyes to appear on his Physical Body.

These eyes covered his entire body, suppressing all the power within his Physical Body.

This caused all his power to seem obstructed, making it impossible to release from his body.

Without his Physical Body strength...

He instantly felt as if he had fallen into becoming a Mortal.

Xiao Shi's heart sank.

He realized that this method was likely a type of power from the Moon Mark system of the Youyue Dynasty.

The most terrifying aspect of this power was that it could not be resisted or evaded.

At least, Xiao Shi currently had no way to resolve it.

Once the opponent unleashed it, he would inevitably be hit!

As Xiao Shi was suppressed by the numerous scarlet eyes.

The Gen Mountain Sect man grinned.

He curled the five fingers of the hand that was spread out towards Xiao Shi, and the mouth filled with ferocious, sharp teeth in his palm suddenly erupted with a huge pulling force.

Under the effect of this pulling force.

Xiao Shi's body flew forward uncontrollably, and he was sucked directly towards the opponent's palm.

He knew that if he were sucked into the opponent's hand.

He would definitely be in great danger.

But now, without the strength of his Physical Body, he simply could not resist or struggle!

He could only be continuously pulled over.

His Soul Consciousness and Soul Power were completely useless at this moment.

"It's over!!"

There was a confident look of victory in the Gen Mountain Sect man's eyes.

It seemed that from the moment he unleashed this killing move, he had already foreseen the outcome.

Under this suction force.

In an instant.

The distance between Xiao Shi and the Gen Mountain Sect man became less than a meter.

Just at the moment Xiao Shi was about to be sucked into the Gen Mountain Sect man's palm.

Hum!

Xiao Shi's body suddenly turned golden, and his size increased sharply.

He had directly entered the Jingang Form!

The moment his skin turned golden.

His entire golden body immediately formed an isolation against the numerous scarlet eyes covering him.

It was as if a layer of golden membrane had appeared between these scarlet eyes and Xiao Shi's body, blocking the power suppression caused by the numerous scarlet eyes.

It seemed that if these scarlet eyes wanted to continue suppressing Xiao Shi's Physical Body strength, they would have to break through this golden membrane first.

However, this golden membrane was extraordinarily sturdy.

Even when attacked by the numerous scarlet eyes, they could not break through it in a short time!

The panic in Xiao Shi's eyes turned into sharpness the moment he entered the Jingang Form.

Obviously, his panic was deliberately feigned for the opponent to see.

In reality, he had long since realized that he could use his own Jingang Form to break the Physical Body strength suppression brought by the opponent.

After all, his Jingang Form had undergone a transformation when his Physical Body stepped into the Martial Soul Realm.

What this transformation brought.

Was mainly an enhancement in defense!

This was an all-around enhancement in defense.

It not only included resistance to Soul Power.

It also had strong resistance to various negative states.

The power suppression brought by these scarlet eyes now belonged to a negative state.

Therefore, after Xiao Shi unleashed the Jingang Form, the suppression from these scarlet eyes was immediately blocked, and Xiao Shi's Physical Body strength was subsequently restored.

He braced against the opponent's pulling force, and his entire body slammed directly into the palm that was pulling him.

A loud noise erupted.

At the same time, Xiao Shi could feel the ferocious big mouth on the opponent's palm biting fiercely into his body, causing him a burst of pain.

However, he was very confident in the defense of his Jingang Form.

He felt that even if this ferocious big mouth bit him, it would be impossible to cause any fatal injury to him in a short time.

While this mouth was biting him.

Xiao Shi had already raised his right hand, thrusting the [Moon Sealing Dagger] tightly held in his right hand fiercely towards the Moon Mark on the opponent's forehead.

Squelch!

The moment the tip of the [Moon Sealing Dagger] pierced the Moon Mark on the opponent's forehead, the Gen Mountain Sect man's forehead immediately became covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Xiao Shi concentrated all his Physical Body strength into his right hand holding the [Moon Sealing Dagger], pushing it forward fiercely.

He made it penetrate deeper, stabbing into the opponent's Moon Mark.

The Gen Mountain Sect man let out a shrill scream.

This pain seemed to exceed ordinary pain for him.

His entire body was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Especially his arm.

The ferocious big mouth biting into Xiao Shi's body had its biting force diminish rapidly.

Thud!

When the entire [Moon Sealing Dagger] was fully embedded into the Gen Mountain Sect man's Moon Mark.

The Gen Mountain Sect man's Moon Mark was directly Sealed, and having no ability to resist anymore, he was easily killed by Xiao Shi, who twisted his neck.

Xiao Shi lowered his head to look at his abdomen.

There were two rows of tooth marks there.

His entire golden skin had been bitten into, showing a patch of cracks.

Fortunately, it had not been bitten through.

His battle plan was very successful.

The formidable nature of the Jingang Form was the key to his success.

In fact, the most troublesome part of this battle for him was mainly the targeting by the Nether Moon above.

Only at this moment, following the death of the Gen Mountain Sect man.

Did the feeling of being stared at by the Nether Moon disappear.

However, Xiao Shi knew.

When he used the [Moon Sealing Dagger] next time, he would inevitably be met with the Nether Moon's gaze and targeting again.

And as the number of times he used the [Moon Sealing Dagger] increased.

The Nether Moon's hostility towards him would also grow stronger.

However, every time the Nether Moon cast moonlight to affect him, there would be a certain time interval; it would not continuously cast moonlight to target him. Currently, Xiao Shi had not yet tested the specific time interval.

But what was certain was that.

The more times he used the [Moon Sealing Dagger], the shorter the interval would be, and at the same time, the impact of the Nether Moon on him would become greater and greater.

This time, it only rendered him unable to move for one second.

Perhaps next time... it would be two seconds of being unable to move.

This also made Xiao Shi realize.

If he relied solely on the [Moon Sealing Dagger], it would certainly not be enough to deal with the crises within this illusory world.

He would need other, more powerful items.

As it happened.

After killing this Gen Mountain Sect man this time, he could harvest new items again.

Xiao Shi immediately and impatiently picked up the items that had dropped after the opponent died.

To his surprise, he discovered.

The opponent had actually dropped two items at once!!

He had never encountered such a situation before.

Up until now.

Every kill he had made had only dropped one item.

There had never been a case where two items dropped at once.

Xiao Shi first picked up one of the items to examine it.

[Name: moon obscuring ring]

[Type: Ring]

[Grade: Unknown]

[Status: illusory world]

[Introduction: During the Youyue Dynasty era, a powerful Body Refining cultivator was defeated in a battle against an arch-rival because he was treated with hostility by the Nether Moon. Afterward, in his anger, he researched a powerful ring capable of obscuring the Nether Moon during battle.]

[Note 1: After obscuring the Nether Moon, the Moon Mark will no longer be covered by the Nether Moon, the power within the Moon Mark will be significantly reduced, and the loss of power will be accelerated; the Moon Mark will also continuously dissipate over time.]

[Note 2: The obscuring of the Nether Moon has a time limit, with a maximum duration of one minute.]

[Note 3: The obscuring of the Nether Moon is not an area effect but targeted at individuals. If there are too many people, the obscuring time will be shortened accordingly. For example, when there is only one enemy, it can be obscured for one minute; when there are two enemies, it can only be obscured for at most thirty seconds. The more enemies there are, the shorter the time.]

[Note 4: Each time it is used, it will be met with hostility and disgust from the Nether Moon.]

[Note 5: The Body Refining cultivator who once researched this ring died from the curse of the Nether Moon after using it many times.]

...

Xiao Shi looked at the item in his hand.

This was yet another item used to target the Moon Mark.

Just like the previous [Moon Sealing Dagger].

Such items usually shared a common price.

That was, after using them, one would be met with hostility and disgust from the Nether Moon.

The Nether Moon in this world now gave Xiao Shi the feeling of a god high above, looking down on all things.

When it saw someone using some method to resist the power under its system, it would generate hostility and disgust towards them.

After all, the entire Youyue Dynasty was based on the Moon Mark system.

Any method targeting the Moon Mark system was heresy.

It was not tolerated by the Nether Moon.

Through the relevant introduction of this item.

Xiao Shi also obtained two important pieces of information.

First, within this world of the Youyue Dynasty, all people under the Moon Mark system had their Moon Marks constantly covered by the Nether Moon at all times.

Once there was no coverage by the Nether Moon, their Moon Marks would be difficult to maintain and would gradually dissipate.

This also made Xiao Shi understand why there was no Moon Mark system in the current Tianwu Continent.

Presumably, when the Youyue Dynasty collapsed back then, the Nether Moon had already disappeared from the sky.

All the Moon Marks had already dissipated one after another along with the disappearance of the Nether Moon at that time.

Thus.

The Moon Mark system was buried beneath the river of time.

The other piece of information was that Xiao Shi realized that after being subjected to too much hostility and disgust from the Nether Moon, he would suffer the curse of the Nether Moon.

Although he could not tell from the item information what the curse of the Nether Moon was like.

He could imagine... this curse must be extremely terrifying!!

It caused the powerhouse who researched this [moon obscuring ring] to die directly under the curse of the Nether Moon.

As the "god" of this world, the terrifying nature of the Nether Moon's curse was imaginable...

This made Xiao Shi have to consider the problem of facing the Nether Moon's curse once he was subjected to too much hostility and disgust.

However.

Even though he knew that frequently using such items would lead to the Nether Moon's curse, he still had to use them.

After all, this was his important reliance for resisting the Moon Mark here.

Now he could only hope that the enemies he would face later would not be too many.

This would allow him not to be too frequent in the use of such items.

But judging from the current situation.

This seemed somewhat unrealistic.

As this Gen Mountain Sect man had fallen here, his Sect would very likely dispatch more people to come and eliminate the evil.

If things went poorly...

What he would have to face next would be the entire Gen Mountain Sect!!

"My task is to stay here for three days. During these three days, I must ensure the safety of the Townsfolk in the town..."

"As long as I endure these three days, even if the entire Gen Mountain Sect mobilizes later to raze this town to the ground, it will have nothing to do with me."

Xiao Shi understood that the most important thing was these three days.

The crisis within these three days would definitely become greater and greater.

However, three days of time...

Should not reach the situation where the entire Gen Mountain Sect would be mobilized.
