Taiyi Dao Fruit

"Seems like you've figured it out."

Gongsun Qingyue revealed a charming smile, her small figure rising into the air, meeting Jiang Li eye to eye, "Junior brother, your situation is becoming increasingly perilous. However, if you sincerely apologize to your senior sister and beg for mercy on your knees, wouldn't I lend you a helping hand?"

"Senior sister, would you really not save me?" Jiang Li tactically leaned back, a look of surprise on his face, "Without me, what would the Sect use to target the Jiang family?"

"Look at what you're saying, junior brother. Could it be that there's someone in the Sect who would actually kill you?" Gongsun Qingyue's smile was brimming with warmth, "At most, they would just leave you with a missing arm or broken leg, suffering some flesh wounds, but no worries, our faction follows the medical practices of the Yellow Emperor, we have ways to heal you. It's just that if by chance something gets damaged and leaves behind some psychological trauma, that would not be easy to cure."

Is this even allowed?

Jiang Li felt he had underestimated his senior sister's shamelessness; when this woman started making crude jokes, she was in no way inferior to men.

"Ha, I don't believe that," Jiang Li said earnestly, "I am loyal to the Sect, and a senior sister who is equally loyal to the Sect would definitely not stand by and watch me die."

The implication, naturally, was to speak of the interests of the Sect.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Qingyue was completely unimpressed and coldly laughed, "Junior brother, you might regret saying that."

Saying thus, she controlled the Paperman to fly towards the small window, apparently determined to teach Jiang Li a lesson.

And Jiang Li was as steady as Mount Tai, showing no signs of hesitation.

This was a tug-of-war, just like when you fail to bargain with a vendor and make as if to find another; in this moment, whoever steps back first loses.

Jiang Li stayed firmly seated, only using the Karma Collection to monitor Gongsun Qingyue's movements.

Judging from her slow flying speed, she was clearly waiting for Jiang Li to stop her.

'But I just won't call out.' Jiang Li was confident.

"However, just then, Gongsun Qingyue suddenly turned back with a smile, her gaze distantly falling on Jiang Li's lower back..."

Upon seeing this line, Jiang Li's eyes widened in shock, he was about to leap up instantly.

But Gongsun Qingyue's "Real Intent Technique Python" was extremely swift; initially, Jiang Li had used a sudden telekinesis to completely defeat two Inner Sect Disciples. Now, unable to utilize True Qi, his reaction was even slower than those two disciples; even though he had sensed it first, it was too late.

"I forgot to tell you, junior brother, I am a disciple of Elder Tianxuan and proficient in all five Mysticism Skills. It took me half a day to improve upon and deduce a method targeting men from your Orchid Brushing Acupoint Hand."

Gongsun Qingyue giggled as she flew back, "You just enjoy the gift your senior sister gave you."

The so-called five Mysticism Skills consist of mountain, medical, physiognomy, fate, and divination - interior technique essentially being a combination of medical skill and martial arts. Having acquired the technique of striking acupoints, Gongsun Qingyue only had to combine her own knowledge of acupoints to derive a method suitable for men from it.

And Jiang Li, unfortunately, became the first to benefit from it.

Always the hunter of geese, today he was pecked in the eye by one. Jiang Li never expected Gongsun Qingyue's counterattack to be so cunning and utterly unpreventable.

"Thinking of leaving?!"

Seeing Gongsun Qingyue about to fly off, Jiang Li leapt up, "Yin Talisman Seven Skills·Real Intent Technique Python."

A pattern of snake scales emerged on his brow, and in a moment, streams of spiritual power transformed into Invisible Power, enveloping the Paperman like a net.

"Yin Talisman Seven Skills·Real Intent Technique Python."

Gongsun Qingyue deployed the same skill, and two forces of Invisible Power collided and twisted in the air, like two mighty snakes fighting.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sounds of collision continuously resounded, and bursts of Qi exploded in the air, causing a fierce wind to blow inside the Stone House.

Jiang Li's hands traced patterns, weaving a vast net, with the scale pattern on his forehead becoming more distinct. In the critical moment of social death, his potential exploded to its limit, causing his face to faintly become transparent, resembling a crystal god statue, exuding an invisible majesty.

"Break!"

Jiang Li stepped forward incorrectly, throwing a punch in mid-air, the fist power striking the telekinesis transformed from spiritual power, producing a resounding boom.

Although this punch wasn't enhanced by True Qi, given Jiang Li's current physical strength, it was not easy to deal with. Gongsun Qingyue was not in her true form, unable to exert her full spiritual power, and the invisible Viper was instantly broken by Jiang Li's dual attack, a large hand reaching out like scooping the moon from water, delicately capturing the Paperman.

"Sister, try this taste yourself."

Jiang Li pointed at the doll's waist, speaking fiercely.

"Do you think we are near Yaoguang Elder? I don't have... uh!" Gongsun Qingyue was about to mock Jiang Li when a strange feeling suddenly seized her heart, cutting off her words.

"How is this possible?" she screeched.

"The Divine Descent Paperman is actually a type of talisman, and coincidentally, Junior Brother, I consider myself quite accomplished in this magic," Jiang Li's face twitched continuously as if poisoned, but he suppressed the sensation in his body and coldly laughed, "Sister, you can't escape."

It wasn't just about linking the Paperman with the original body; Jiang Li also surrounded the area with spiritual power, locking down Gongsun Qingyue's Divine Essence, preventing it from dispersing.

If it's social death, then let it be together; no one can escape.

The small figure's face quickly turned red, and ripples like spring water ceaselessly danced in her eyes.

But Gongsun Qingyue was still defiant.

"Real Intent Technique Python."

Invisible Power managed to bypass Jiang Li's net and struck his acupoints again.

While Jiang Li had to concentrate solely on suppressing the surging blood within him and controlling the Paperman, and couldn't use his True Qi, he was completely unable to stop Gongsun Qingyue's attack.

He could only retaliate with equal measure, intensifying his offensive.

Both faces, one large, one small, visibly reddened at a noticeable rate, forcibly controlled expressions gradually deteriorating, sometimes looking foolish, sometimes like evil spirits.

"Let go!" Gongsun Qingyue gritted her teeth.

"You let go first."

"I don't trust you."

"Funny, neither do I."

Neither side gave in, even intensifying their attacks, hoping the other would collapse first.

Gradually, sweat began to seep continuously from Jiang Li's face, and though Gongsun Qingyue, not being in her true form, wouldn't sweat, judging from her struggling intensity, she must be feeling very hot at the moment.

"How about this, I'll count to three and we'll both let go," Jiang Li said with a fearsome expression.

"Fine," Gongsun Qingyue gritted her teeth, "A promise from a gentleman is as strong as a tied horse."

"One, two, three."

Both looked at each other's still-red faces, silent for a long time.

It seemed that this trust could not be established.

The two people thus sank deeper and deeper into this vortex of mutual torment, until they reached a mutually destructive end.
