On the day of the Holy Son competition.The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but the altar in the center of the village was already crowded with people.The elders and the high priest stood guard beside the sinking mud, waiting for Jinchen and his party to arrive.Not long after, the sound of silver bells rang.The onlookers stepped back and made way.Jinchen rarely tied up his long hair today, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. The red snake was coiled around his neck, and its scales reflected the morning sun with an eerie blood color.It looks like a monster that walked out of a painting."Why are you walking so fast?" Jinchen took a few quick steps and hooked the strap of Nan Yixing's medicine bag with his fingertips.Nan Yixing's white clothes were whiter than snow, and the silver patterns on the medicine bag on his waist glowed coldly.He patted Jinchen's hand gently, and said with indulgence in his tone, "You are too slow."Jinchen chuckled when he heard that, and moved closer to brush away the non-existent dust on his shoulders.As they got closer, the purple gauze and white clothes complemented each other, the weird and the holy were intertwined, and there was an indescribable harmony.The red snake Gu rubbed Nan Yixing's wrist lightly and then quickly shrank back.Jinchen's fingertips brushed across Nan Yixing's collar and gently hooked it at an angle that no one could see.On the east side of the altar, Luo Xiao came over holding a pitch-black Gu jar. His face was a little blue and he had obvious dark circles under his eyes.He coughed from time to time, but his eyes were full of confidence as he looked at the Gu jar in his arms.Bai Shi followed behind him, wrapped in a thick coat, and her face was paler than in the past few days.Obviously, Nan Yixing's poison caused them great suffering, and the poison has not yet been cleared.On the other side, He Mo Ning almost supported Jin Que as he walked over.Jinque was holding an exquisite wooden box with intricate patterns carved on it.His complexion still didn't look good, but his expression was calm.Shan Man and Fan Ruoxi also arrived.Fan Ruoxi was fixing her hair when she was accidentally entangled by Shanman's chain. The two of them argued in a low voice for a few words.The high priest struck the gong, signaling that the competition was about to begin.Luo Xiao lifted the black cloth on the pottery jar, and a rustling sound came from inside.He looked at Jinchen opposite him, with a sneer on his face.The sound of the gong was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums. The moment Luo Xiao lifted the black silk of the Gu jar, a monster that looked like a snake but was not a snake jumped out.The thing was pitch black all over, with centipede-like legs on its back, but it swam like a snake, and also had a scorpion's hooked tail like a poisonous scorpion.When it pounced on the mountain ghost spider, the mucus sprayed from its poisonous claws actually eroded the mud into honeycomb-like holes.click-The carapace of the devil-faced spider becomes as brittle as paper under the venom.It didn't last more than a quarter of an hour before the ghost-faced spider was eaten by Luo Xiao's poisonous insect.Shanman scratched his head, without a trace of annoyance in his copper-bell-sized eyes, and looked at Jinchen.He was just here to make up the numbers, as long as the final Holy Son was not Luo Xiao."Young Master, I am waiting for you to help me get revenge." He patted the empty Gu jar, causing the iron chain around his waist to rattle. "This thing was originally used to worship the Kitchen God in my house.The red snake was dangling from the silver bell chain on Jinchen's fingertips. Hearing this, he chuckled, "Really?"His purple eyes swept across Luo Xiao's livid face, "This spider is more courageous than the centipedes that some people raise. At least it lost fairly."Luo Xiao's Miao Dao sheath slammed heavily on the stone steps. The poisonous insect sensed its master's anger and its centipede scraped against each other, making a harsh sound.Luo Xiao sneered.Jinchen indeed discovered the evil technique he used to make Gu.But it doesn’t matter, whoever wins in the end will have the final say.The poisonous fog surged, and Jinque's ebony Gu box slowly opened.A snow-white jade toad jumped out, and the golden line Gu pattern on its back sparkled in the sun.However, before it could fully display its power, Luo Xiao's snake-like poisonous insect suddenly pounced on it, and its scorpion claws clamped tightly on the jade toad's hind legs. The offensive resumed.Everyone stared intently.But the Jade Toad was obviously no match for its opponent. Half of its body was torn apart, and its crystal clear body fluids splashed onto the mud, making a sizzling corrosion sound.The villagers who were watching cried out in surprise. He Mo Ning looked at Jin Que worriedly, but the latter just calmly closed the Gu box and slowly turned to look at Jin Chen."Achen, I leave it to you."Jinchen had his back to the altar, playing with the tassels on Nan Yixing's medicine bag.Hearing Jinque's words, Nan Yixing looked over there inexplicably, but Jinchen didn't even turn his head, but just snapped his fingers lazily.The purple butterfly that had been sleeping in the corner finally moved.It slowly spread its wings, and its colorful scales reflected a dreamy halo in the sunlight.The purple butterfly flew gracefully above Luo Xiao's ferocious poisonous insect, paused as if in disgust, then turned around and flew back to Jinchen, gently landing on his fingertips."It's ugly, but there's nothing we can do about it," Jinchen said softly to Zidie, his tone full of empathy, "I think it's ugly too. Just bear with it and don't eat it."Someone in the crowd laughed, and then the laughter spread.Luo Xiao's face turned pale in an instant.His poisonous insect swam around in the mud angrily, its poisonous pincers opening and closing with harsh clicking sounds, but it never dared to approach the seemingly harmless purple butterfly.The high priest's gong sounded to announce the start, which was particularly harsh in the awkward silence.Luo Xiao was filled with hatred and controlled the poisonous insect.The poisonous insect suddenly let out a shrill hissing sound, and its scorpion tail twisted strangely, with dark red blood threads appearing on its surface.It is a sign of forbidden techniques in the village.The high priest slammed the bronze staff in his hand to the ground with a thud, his face looking grim."Xiao'er!" He lowered his voice and shouted, but his son turned a deaf ear to him and stared at the field with red eyes.The purple butterfly lightly avoided the scorpion's first attack, and crystal phosphorus powder fell as it flapped its wings.Jinchen leaned against the stone pillar, playing with a silver needle with his fingertips."Luo Xiao, how come you, a bug, still have cheats?"The villagers listened attentively.The poisonous scorpion suddenly stood up, its tail stinger expanded rapidly, and dark red blood threads covered the purple butterfly like a spider web.Several older villagers on the sidelines gasped.This is clearly a killing move intended to put the Gu master to death!The purple butterfly was not in a hurry. It flapped its wings lightly, drawing a graceful arc in the air.Wherever the phosphorus powder passed, the bloodshot quickly melted away like spring snow meeting the sun.What was even more shocking was that the armor on the scorpion began to corrode at a speed visible to the naked eye, making a sizzling sound."impossible!"Luo Xiao suddenly covered his chest, and a trace of blue blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.He stared with wide eyes, watching his own natal insect writhing on the ground in pain."This this……"This is evil magic! How could he lose to Jinchen?Bai Shi's face turned pale, and the medicine bag in his hand fell to the ground. "Oh no, Brother Luo, it seems to be backfiring!"The high priest could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly."Young Master! The outcome is already decided, let him go..."Before he could finish his words, the scorpion suddenly exploded, and blue-black fluid splashed all over the ground.The purple butterfly landed gracefully on Jinchen's fingertips and shook its wings in disdain.As if to say: How dirty.There was dead silence.Luo Xiao slumped on the ground, his right hand had turned an abnormal purple-blue color, obviously a result of the backlash.When he looked up at Jinchen, real fear appeared in his eyes for the first time.
