Chapter 2185: Cyan Light

Puzzled, he drove his true qi again toward the same spot.

In an instant, it vanished again.

It was as if the other party's body contained a special power that could devour his Heavenly Dao true qi.

Zhang Xuan squinted.

Even a Divine King swallowing Heavenly Dao true qi would be restrained by it, yet this man before him, when he personally infused power, it was devoured... Could it be that his strength kept decreasing because he had this devouring ability, which not only devoured others but also his own true qi?

"Let's see how much you can devour!"

Full of curiosity, Zhang Xuan was also stirred by a competitive spirit. His true qi burst forth, and a thick stream of energy surged wildly along the other's pulse.

Earlier, to avoid detection, he had only used an extremely faint wisp, even weaker than that contained in a Divine Origin Pill. Being devoured was nothing. Now that his true qi was surging, he didn't believe anything could devour it!

The thick true qi poured in like a flood. Feng Jiuge, whose hand was being held, twitched at the corner of his mouth, his eyes suddenly bulging as he felt a tremendous heavenly pressure crashing down, as if his soul were being crushed.

He tried to withdraw his hand but found that the other's fingers were like a golden hoop, impossible to pull free no matter how hard he tried.

"Let..."

He wanted to shout, but the other's true qi was too powerful. Once it entered his body, he immediately felt as if crushed by an unknown force. His mouth opened, but not a word came out.

Unaware that the other wanted him to stop, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes slightly, his spirit accompanying the Heavenly Dao true qi as he carefully sensed the source of the devouring within the other's body.

It was a dark gray stream of energy, impossible to tell what it was.

Controlling the true qi to surge over, the gray stream immediately released a cyan light.

"It's not devouring, but... mutual cancellation!"

Earlier, he had thought some strange thing inside the other's body had completely devoured his Heavenly Dao true qi. Now he understood it wasn't devouring, but mutual cancellation.

This gray stream could produce a special reaction with Heavenly Dao true qi, neutralizing each other into cyan light, which then completely disappeared.

"No, the other party can't completely eliminate my true qi!"

After pouring for a while, Zhang Xuan noticed something and frowned.

His Heavenly Dao true qi was neutralizing with the opposing stream, constantly disappearing, but only a part vanished; another part remained.

Calculating the ratio, about one out of a hundred remained.

"Is this... purification?"

Doubt appeared in his eyes.

The remaining wisp of true qi felt dozens of times purer than before. Though he couldn't sense its power, it had clearly undergone a transformation.

"Not purification, but... separating the Heavenly Dao true qi from the Heaven's Indifference true qi I comprehended..."

Before comprehending the Heaven's Indifference technique, Zhang Xuan had cultivated the Heavenly Dao technique, so his body contained what was called Heavenly Dao true qi. Later, though he changed techniques, it was an upgraded version of the Heavenly Dao technique, and the two types of true qi remained mixed together, indistinguishable.

Their power was similar and hard to separate, so he hadn't bothered to think about it.

Unexpectedly, this gray gas had accomplished it!

It could neutralize Heavenly Dao true qi but had no effect on Heaven's Indifference true qi, so when the two met, the latter was left behind.

"I haven't used pure Heaven's Indifference true qi yet. Since you can purify it, let's continue..."

Since it was all cultivated by himself, Zhang Xuan didn't mind. His true qi roared as he again poured it wildly into the other's body.

The two collided, releasing a dazzling cyan light.

Though the opposing gray stream was only a single wisp, it was exceptionally pure. After Zhang Xuan poured true qi for quite a while, only a small part of it was consumed; most of it still swirled within.

Just as he was about to make a concerted effort to completely consume this force, he felt someone patting his shoulder.

Sensing from the force and movement that there was no malice, Zhang Xuan frowned. While still pouring true qi from his hand, he turned his head to look and was startled.

Behind him, a crowd had gathered, dozens of people, all apparently dining here. A few looked familiar—they were the middle-aged men who had been discussing Feng Jiuge earlier.

The one patting him was an old man with a cane at the front.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that he didn't know any of them, yet they were patting him, Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

"I normally wouldn't meddle, but this is under the jurisdiction of the Fire Phoenix Clan. If something happens and I don't speak up, once investigated, it will cause no small trouble, and it won't be good for you either. Others are reluctant to speak, but since I'm older, I'll step forward. I just want to ask bluntly... May I ask, what grudge do you, friend, have with this Feng Jiuge?"

Stroking his beard, the old man spoke.

His voice was refined, clearly that of a well-read man.

Startled, Zhang Xuan shook his head: "We have no grudge!"

The old man was puzzled: "Then why are you holding his hand..."

Thinking it was nothing, Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "He has some problem with his body. As a physician, I'm treating him to resolve the隐患..."

"There's something I'm not sure if I should say or ask..."

Hearing his explanation, the old man turned to look. Seeing everyone's expressions were off, he gritted his teeth and continued: "Are you sure that the way he looks now is you saving him?"

"This way?"

Full of doubt, Zhang Xuan turned his head and was stunned.

The person he was holding was not the handsome Feng Jiuge from before, but a super fat man two meters tall and weighing at least four hundred jin.

"Who are you?"

He quickly let go, startled.

When had this fat man come over?

He had swapped with Feng Jiuge, and Zhang Xuan hadn't even noticed?

"I know who he is. I saw it with my own eyes, no lies!" Seeing his reaction, the old man nodded and looked at him: "He is Feng Jiuge... After you grabbed him, he turned into this in no time..."

"He is Feng Jiuge?"

Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched.

A moment ago, this guy was about the same height as him and not this fat. How did he become like this in the blink of an eye?

"Could it be... caused by my constant infusion of true qi?"

His eyebrows jumped.

Could it be that because he kept pouring in true qi, the two merged, and the resulting cyan light couldn't be expelled... and this guy inflated like a balloon... into this?

That couldn't be so ridiculous!

Looking closely, the 'giant' before him was indeed Feng Jiuge Plus+, not a sudden stranger. Zhang Xuan was speechless.

In just a few minutes, he had gained several hundred jin...

But, he had to admit, this guy being this fat did make him look somewhat similar to the Spirit Race.

The Spirit Race had bodies much larger than normal humans.
