The two captains of the Zhan Gui Ren stared in shock at the screen. What kind of person was this? How could someone so wild successfully cultivate such a spell?
This Zhan Xian Fei's spell was renowned throughout history. In the ancient mythological text Fengshen Yanyi, during the Hongmeng period, there existed a primordial spirit root known as the gourd vine, which bore seven gourds. Among them, the third gourd, a purple-white one, was obtained by Dong Huang Tai Yi, who refined it into the Zhan Xian Gourd for his tenth son, Lu Ya.
Lu Ya used the fire of separation to refine it until he perfected his craft and achieved flight, naming it Zhan Xian Fei. He harvested the Red Gourd from a celestial vine beneath a peak of Kunlun Mountain and killed Hou Yi, sealing his essence within the Red Gourd before destroying the Shooting Sun Divine Bow and Shooting Sun Arrow.
Using the fire of separation to refine it further, he absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, capturing the spirit of heaven and earth, overturning the five elements until he perfected his craft and achieved flight. Like Huang Ya Bai Xue, it resembled a thread of fine light hidden within the Red Gourd, nurtured by the essence of a great shaman.
The flight ascended over three zhang, revealing an object above it—seven inches long with eyes and brows. Its gaze emitted a bright white light capable of pinning down celestial beings and demons within their mud pill palaces. Even if it transformed, it could not escape.
Atop that white light spun like a wind wheel; with just one or two rotations, its head would naturally fall to the ground. When killing enemies, it would be released from the Red Gourd, revealing a head with features and wings—eyes and brows intact, shooting forth two beams of white light. Any enemy caught in that light would immediately faint.
After casting the spell, one would bow to the gourd and recite an incantation to turn that treasure; upon spinning in the white light, an enemy's head would drop off. It could be said to be a guaranteed lethal technique with a hundred percent hit rate.
They were astonished for quite some time. However, Jiang Qingtong, being a master of high skill within their sect, discerned some clues. The Shu Fa that Zuo Ci had employed was merely similar in appearance; it did not possess such overwhelming power.
If it were like ancient Lu Ya's ability to point at someone and kill them instantly, then these so-called Zhan Gui Ren would be finished! They could simply sit there waiting for death; even Tian Yi or the Old Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain would not stand a chance against him!
Jiang Qingtong pondered over Zuo Ci's hand gestures and steps in casting the spell. The method of incantation involved using the Birth Chart and physical elements as mediums to reach beyond oneself and kill invisibly.
However, the greatest drawback of the Curse Technique is that the caster cannot be too far from the target; otherwise, the Spell will lose its effectiveness. For instance, both the Xiang Tou Shu and Shamanic Magic operate under this principle. The Feng Shui Master is very cautious, standing outside the formation and employing various protective Fa Lan, ensuring that Zuo Ci cannot get close enough to obtain flesh and skin.
As for the Birth Chart, it can indeed be deduced through a person's name and appearance. However, this requires a Men Zhen Ren who is well-versed in Astrology to carefully calculate, and it may cost several years of their lifespan to achieve this. Jiang Qingtong does not believe that Zuo Ci would pay such a price in lifespan just to deduce a Feng Shui Master's Birth Chart.
So, what medium does Zuo Ci use to cast Shu Fa? Jiang Qingtong ponders deeply and suddenly realizes something: it is distance! Jiang Qingtong murmurs, "This technique must be one that can be performed without relying on a Birth Chart; flesh and skin serve as the medium, allowing the Curse Technique to be executed as long as the target is close enough. The Spell can then take effect—what a domineering Shu Fa!"
But how close must that distance be? Jiang Qingtong begins to calculate quietly. Yet, no matter how clever Jiang Qingtong is, they cannot know that Zuo Ci's Shu Fa indeed possesses miraculous effects that allow it to be cast without a medium. However, the cost is steep; it would drain nearly ten years of Zuo Ci's lifespan.
In the Last Law Era, how could such a defiant Shen Tong Shu Fa possibly exist? After all, this Feng Shui Master had registered with their real name on a forum! Zuo Ci's cultivation spells are indeed derived from Zhan Xian Fei, but they are merely superficial. At the very least, one must know the target's name to cast them, and they cannot be too far apart; otherwise, not only will the Spell fail, but it will also backfire on the caster.
In a live scene, when the tongue of the Three-Legged Ghost Toad was less than ten centimeters from Zuo Ci's brow, it was blocked by an invisible barrier. Blood-red light rippled out in layers. The sharp edge sliced through like a meat grinder, reducing the Three-Eyed Ghost Toad's tongue to mincemeat. The Three-Legged Ghost Toad let out a painful cry, its crimson pupils gleaming with an especially ferocious light.
Its true form is a Xiong Ling that has touched the realm of returning to the void and returning to the yang.
