I Have a Compass for Opportunity
Chapter 87 - 64: One Sword Dispels Evil
Liou Yuan used the Evil Eyes for the first time in battle, facing a demon-mink, and prior to unleashing it, he was somewhat unsure of its effectiveness.
It wasn’t until he saw the Baby-eating Mink’s body stiffen that his face immediately showed a hint of joy.
Wasn’t this the exact same situation as when he faced the Alien Star Evil in Yanhe City?
Having experienced the power of the Evil Eyes before, Liou Yuan was very clear about the predicament of the Baby-eating Mink; now, it’s afraid that even moving a finger is difficult.
With this thought, a violent killing intent surged in Liou Yuan’s eyes.
"Die!"
Influenced by his murderous intent, the brilliance in his Evil Eyes intensified.
That eerie purple hue actually started to spread around Liou Yuan’s body, turning the Spiritual Power within him purple.
Despite only being at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, at that moment his power surged upward significantly.
Although it didn’t reach the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, it was not far off.
The amount of Spiritual Power within him also increased, reaching a total of nine streams.
At this moment, Liou Yuan only had the Baby-eating Mink in his eyes, not caring about the internal changes.
With just such a brief pause, Liou Yuan, leveraging the surging power, had already rapidly closed the distance with the Baby-eating Mink, and swung the Profound Brilliance Sword towards its head.
Clang! The sword light that was previously silver-bright now unexpectedly wrapped in purple intent.
The moment the purple sword light lashed out.
The Baby-eating Mink broke free from the control of Liou Yuan’s Evil Eyes, its eyes regained clarity, and it suddenly spoke in human voice, screaming: "I am Spirit Beast Mountain!"
Liou Yuan: "Nonsense!"
Its last vision was of the eerie purple Sword Dao slashing from above its head.
Splash!
The light divided the Baby-eating Mink’s body in two, the force unabated, striking the thick white snow on the ground, carving a yard-long rift behind the Baby-eating Mink.
Flying snowflakes and soil buried Liou Yuan and the Baby-eating Mink’s figures.
At this time, Qiu Ming climbed out from the cellar.
Because there were children below, he did not dare to rush out until he heard the sounds of the battle between Liou Yuan and the Baby-eating Mink going far away, then walked to the surface.
Coincidentally, he saw the moment Liou Yuan and the Baby-eating Mink’s figures were buried by the snow.
"Liou Yuan, I’m here to assist you!" Qiu Ming also couldn’t figure out who caused the commotion, ignoring everything else, he shouted and charged towards the battlefield carrying the Yellow Jade Axe.
He hadn’t yet reached the snow-laden site.
The flying earth and snow had already settled, revealing a yard-wide pit.
In the pit, Liou Yuan was propped up by his sword, panting heavily.
Opposite him, the Baby-eating Mink maintained a gaze upward, a streak of blood extended from its head all over its body.
Under Qiu Ming’s astonished gaze, the blood streak spread, and the monster’s body split into two halves along the blood streak, falling into the pit.
Qiu Ming scratched his head, finally comprehending the situation, he exclaimed in surprise: "Dead?"
In the pit, Liou Yuan’s body was covered with snow and dirt, his chest heaving violently, responding with a weak voice to Qiu Ming: "Even if possessed by Star Evil, one sword would kill it too."
After speaking, there was hidden astonishment in his eyes.
His surprise wasn’t about the power of his sword, but the power of the Evil Eyes.
Not only able to subdue this Baby-eating Mink of Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer for two breaths.
But also capable of augmenting his own Spiritual Power cultivation.
In that instant just now, he almost thought he had broken through to Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.
"These Evil Eyes are so overbearing!" Liou Yuan silently marveled and muttered, feeling the state of his Spiritual Power inside.
Clearly, it had surged significantly earlier, the nine streams of Spiritual Power rushing wildly inside, now they were unexpectedly empty.
It was evident they had all been expended in that one sword strike.
"The consumption of Spiritual Power is just too great!"
He had struck twice with the Profound Brilliance Sword, used the Yellow Jade Buddhist Beads once, and utilized the Five Mansions.
The combined consumption of Spiritual Power for these is less than one stream.
Yet the brief activation of the Evil Eyes for two breaths, subduing the Baby-eating Mink, and the final sword strike.
Actually drained all the surging Spiritual Power.
The consumption is absolutely terrifying.
"More exaggerated than high-grade Magical Artifacts!" Liou Yuan whispered to himself.
But it’s understandable, extraordinary might naturally comes with extraordinary Spiritual Power consumption.
"I can’t recklessly use these Evil Eyes in the future, if one strike fails, wouldn’t I be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?"
Liou Yuan felt a moment of fear.
Fortunately, he seized this opportunity to slay the Baby-eating Mink with one sword.
If it had endured this sword, who lives and who dies today would have been uncertain.
In the gap of Liou Yuan’s lingering fear.
Qiu Ming had already come over, he first looked at the rift carved by Liou Yuan’s sword, his eyes dazed for a moment.
However, he quickly returned to normal, inwardly: "The younger brother of the Snow Shattering Sword, his Sword Dao Cultivation cannot be bad, damn, luckily he didn’t use the sword to chop me before."
Thinking about it, Qiu Ming symbolically asked Liou Yuan: "How about it, are you injured?"
"No." Liou Yuan replied lowly, forcing himself to keep his dim eyes from Spiritual Power exhaustion open, he reached into his arms to take out several jade bottles, carefully collecting the Baby-eating Mink’s blood.
This had been prepared long ago, the jade bottles specifically for collecting demon blood, not wanting to waste this perfect ink material.
Luckily, it’s now cold, the blood spilled outside hadn’t disappeared, turning into blood ice, preserving its spiritual nature.
Liou Yuan filled no less than a dozen jade bottles before he finished collecting all of the Baby-eating Mink’s blood.
Then he sat in the snow, gasping, calling to Qiu Ming who squatted beside him: "Stop gawking, Mr. Qiu, help me skin it, this thing’s pelt is definitely good material for refining Defense Magical Artifact, your buddy Can wants it, you can exchange it for some Star Stones or achievement points from him."
"Also its claws and fangs, all can be used for Artifact Refining."
Upon hearing about achievement points, Qiu Ming’s eyes sparkled immediately, hastily starting to work.
Liou Yuan watched Qiu Ming’s busy figure, resting for quite a while before not quite confidently thinking: "I hope this guy didn’t see me using the Evil Eyes."
But as he thought about it again, even if he did, what could he do, with his one-track mind, he wouldn’t figure it out.
And indeed, Qiu Ming had already attributed Liou Yuan’s sword strike to him being the younger brother of the Snow Shattering Sword, attributing his good Sword Dao Cultivation to that.
In the midst of his thoughts, Liou Yuan felt the purple glow in his vision intensifying.
It flashed and then receded deep into his pupils, just like when he killed Di Xi before.
The difference is, Liou Yuan didn’t notice the anomaly of the Evil Eyes last time.
This time, he saw the purple intent in his eyes.
"Last time it was shortly after I killed Di Xi that the Evil Eyes changed."
"This time it’s after killing this Baby-eating Mink!"
Liou Yuan’s eyes showed a thoughtful expression, he felt he had faintly grasped some of the mysteries of the Evil Eyes.
