Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World Chapter 198: Slow Burn

I splayed my arms wide as the swarm cos from behind and in front of like the spiral of a wind tunnel.

Surging towards him, he just seems to react in ti as they finally reach him. I can see his hands grip, and then he disappears beneath the waves.

It is then that I can see flashes of light peer out from underneath the chittering bugs. This only grows more and more, Until I can see nine beams of light piercing out like swords. When I can finally see, it appears to be coming out of every orifice and his two hands.

This is my best opportunity to attack him, as the demonic qi is harder to deal with than the normal one.

Of course, while all of this is happening, Im not staying in this treehouse like an idiot. Ive already grabbed a few of the poison containers that had remained from my battle with the Panther. I tossed them into the tree house behind to slow him down any way I can.

In addition to that, I head straight for the poison area of the jungle. This ti, I wont be playing around at the edges, but heading directly in. Im fighting against soone who its absurdly faster and stronger than I.

Unfortunately for , this does nothing and despite my plans I cant even get more than a few 10s of kiloters away under a minute, before he imdiately bursts out from within the treehouse and through all the poison, to imdiately grab by the back of the neck.

It appears the poison barely held him, and is only showing the most minimal effects on him. He used a piece of the wood on the ground to punch through the restrictive one, and the speed and power of him moving through the air with that in front of him made it only catch the edges of his body.

Its only the back of his body thats been affected, ironically enough.

Then instantly snapped my neck.

My vision blurs as my body attempts to reform it. He does it almost like a grip trainer, as he relaxes his hand then squeezes again every ti it reforms.

While doing this, he brings back into the treehouse and watches my reforming carefully.

The whole ti, he is now spreading his spiritual sense over my body, exploring every cavity. It feels utterly violating now that I have qi to tell that hes doing so.

Its like that shiver you get when you feel soone watching you, except this one is sticky and doesnt just go away. Not only that, but since Im already used to it, I can tell exactly what hes looking at and for how long.

He is utterly fascinated by my dantian and ridians. Since hes a foundation establishnt cultivator, he isnt able to check into my ntal status, but only the body level of aspects. Even with that, there is only so deep he can go. Being able to discover the generic aspects of a persons body with your spiritual sense is one of the early foundation establishnt abilities. As you grow through that realm, though, you are be able to discover more and more. You can also send it out further and further from your body.

This is not good.

There is still at least half a day before the other creatures can get sowhat close to this area.

I might not be in my right mind if I am about to go through what I assu hes about to put through. This is the best ti I have to set up plans.

I imdiately send a warning over to Gong and everyone I know approach at any ti. That I am in danger, but to give six days to respond before they do anything. If that amount of ti has passed, then everything I could try has already failed.

My scan lets know that whatever a demonic cultivator of his level could co up with, Id be able to last for at least that long. ntally, at least.

Its a good thing the healing constitution also slightly helps with that aspect.

Both unluckily and luckily, he doesnt seem to be that sort of demonic cultivator, though. It appears there just will be a ton of pain and suffering in my near future.

He seems to be finishing up his spiritual sense over and what he plans to do, so I quickly send out a warning to the tad creatures that are incoming. They are to coordinate an attack within that ti period for the best possible mont.

Ao Jin seems to get a strange feeling about the way I scrunched my face up, although hes basically paralyzed multiple tis.

My vision quickly goes dark, as he's chopped off my head yet again. This happens repeatedly, as my focus quickly switches to just staying alive.

It takes so ti before this pattern ends.

When I finally fully awake, I co to myself floating in the air with my arms and legs spread out in a X pose. Definitely not a comfortable position.

My eyes focus on the man in front of , who appears both intrigued and slightly morose.

I was originally hoping to make this quick for you. Truly. However, it appears you may have things about your body that are too good to pass up.

He shakes his head.

Of course, it would be the one person I have actually grown to like that would allow to forgo killing other people.

The look of earlier sadness I had seen, when he realized that he would have to fight , has returned to his face.

I also wanted to make this easier on you, but it doesnt appear that anything that would numb the pain works on you. I Have used so many expensive things to make it work, but it just doesnt seem to have an effect. And in order to get the benefit of my abilities, I need you to be conscious.

He gives a slight smile.

You seem like an understanding person. I hope you can understand that with a body like yours, it would tempt anyone.

Shivers.

He continues, ignoring my obvious look of revulsion and fear.

Take heart in that youll be saving many lives which would have been lost without your sacrifice. And that Ive tried everything I could to make this easier. I know it wont matter, but know that I truly appreciate this and I promise to let you go after I save my wife and child.

Obviously, after crippling your cultivation.

This is a man twisted by his situation. Willing to do anything to reach his goal. I should have fully healed him instead of just the normal stuff.

Maybe it would have helped if I had healed any ntal stuff, but that isnt even close to normal in this world.

I might make that standard from here on.

The sudden silence steals my attention.

Hes stopped talking and is just staring at . He whispers aloud.

I wonder.

He circles my floating body.

Wait, he was just talking about crippling my cultivation.

I can see him extend out a whisper of demonic qi towards , just like the one that he sent towards that bird earlier. I desperately ask my scan if there is anything I can do to resist.

As it gets closer and closer, my scan gives non-helpful notes about demonic qi in this world that I already knew from the demonic cultivator knowledge.

Demonic qi has been fundantally changed from natural qi. Just by having it touch your body gives negative ramifications. While regular qi is ordered and stable, demonic qi is more chaotic and, in so ways, poisonous. Your body has to adapt to using demonic qi.

So, as it approaches and finally touches , I can feel my skin flare up instantly from the contact as it suddenly dives deep into my ridians. From there, it circles around my body until it gets into my lower dantian.

The whole ti my body is healing and trying to survive this attack. On his side, Ao Jin looks fascinated by how my body is holding up against the effect of the qi.

He circulates it once more through my ridians before attempting to build more and more demonic qi into my lower dantian.

Hes trying to make into a cultivation furnace.
