51 Vicious Beasts, Spirit Beasts, and the Feeling of Despair

Martial arts practitioners needed to replenish a large amount of blood-nourishing foods and medicinal herbs. The higher their strength, the higher their requirements and standards were for the food they consumed.

Right now, ordinary people's food was useless to both Song Shi and Big Smart. They instinctively felt that eating the food laid out tasted like chewing wax.

"That's right, that's right. You only feel this way when you're strong."

Mei Niang reacted and nodded in agreement. "Guardian Liu, it's best if you eat the meat of the Vicious beast or even the meat of Spirit beasts now. Only then will you find meat delicious."

!!

"I agree that we can eat Vicious beasts, but forget about Spirit beasts. That's not something we can eat."

Big Smart knew the extent of his own capabilities. Vicious beasts were equivalent to Connate Qi Refinement level to Extraordinary Foundation Establishment level. Whereas Spirit beasts were at the level of Golden Core Kings. It was difficult to come into contact with them now.

Song Shi had learned many things these few days. Vicious beasts and spirit beasts were roughly the higher echelons of the differentiated classes of walking beasts. Ordinary mortals could only come into contact with ordinary beasts and wild beasts.

If a wild beast was lucky enough to eat some precious medicine or grow in a special environment, it could absorb the essence of the sun and moon and become a Vicious beast with a murderous aura.

Furthermore, if they could develop intelligence, they would be similar to humans and transform into Spirit beasts. If such existences came into contact with the human world, they would be called demon beasts.

As for the divine beasts and above, they were even more mysterious.

This was the case for beasts in this world. Other insects, fish, and birds were generally divided in the same way too.

"Can the New Moon Brothel acquire Vicious beast meat?"

Song Shi was curious. He really wanted to taste the meat of Vicious beasts.

"Yes, but it's more expensive. It's a hundred times more expensive than ordinary meat. After all, it's not something ordinary people can handle."

Mei Niang said awkwardly, "It's impossible to give it to the Young Master for free. We have channels, but Young Master has to pay."

"Just buy it. Prepare enough meat for every meal in the future."

Song Shi said generously.

"No problem. Since Young Master Song has asked, Mei Niang will get someone to prepare it."

Mei Niang raised her wine glass, "I'm here to congratulate Guard Liu for advancing to the Connate realm. In the future, you will have Vicious beasts meat to eat every meal."

"Thank you."

Big Smart returned a glass shyly.

After eating and drinking his fill, Song Shi got into the carriage and returned to the residence of the Demon Slayers Division.

Big Smart, who was driving, reminisced about Mei Niang's charm for a long time. Then, he came back to his senses and coughed, "Ahem, Young Master, we don't have much money left. Where do we get the money for Vicious beasts' meat?"

Only then did Song Shi remember that his father had given all his wealth to the Demon Slayers Division. His face twitched, "Is the money we have left enough?"

"One or two meals is fine. The lowest-grade Vicious beasts meat costs 100 taels of silver per catty. The two of us eat at least 10 catties per meal. I, Old Liu, only have 3,000 taels of silver on me. I can eat at most three meals."

"…"

Song Shi was usually not worried about money, but now, he had to consider the issue of money.

As he became stronger, the cost also increased greatly.

"I still have some money in my room. I can use it for a while."

Song Shi remembered that he had also picked up some money from Dai Dou. Coupled with the money he had left, it would not be a problem to maintain his appetite for a few days.

"Boohoo…"

A cry suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the smoke of burning paper money. The atmosphere was filled with sorrow and despair.

Song Shi opened the curtains and took a look.

Corpses covered in white cloth or linen cloth were parked on both sides of the street. Some people in the uniforms of the bailiffs were urging them to hurry.

"Hurry up and carry them to Xi City for cremation. Don't spread the plague to more people."

"We have to observe the mourning process!"

"What's there to mourn? The plague is contagious. If you don't want to die, hurry up!"

The scene was rather chaotic. Incessant cries and curses could be heard everywhere.

Big Smart drove the carriage around with a solemn expression, "Young Master, the plague is getting serious again. I feel like everyone is dying."

"What are the characteristics of these dead people?"

"Coughing and vomiting of blood. The illness acted up very quickly. Infected ones could be gone in a day."

"How contagious is it?"

"Very. It's happening all over the city."

"It doesn't make sense, it's not scientifically sound"

Song Shi muttered. According to his medical knowledge in his previous life, the fatality rate and infection rate of this plague should be inversely proportional. How could it be so high?

However, this was a world with demons and ghosts. It was not abnormal for a powerful plague to just appear.

"Young Master? What's science?" Big Smart was puzzled.

"Nothing. Is there anything special about the dead people?"

Through eavesdropping, Song Shi learned that the plague was related to the Sky Demon Cult.

"Special? It's similar to the plague in the past. Those with poor health die more easily. People like us should be fine."

Big Smart said nonchalantly.

"Eliminating the weak? What's the point of that… is it really just to cause trouble?"

Song Shi rubbed his chin. The Sky Demon Cult had deliberately spread the plague and their motive was definitely not as simple as just killing people.

"Huff~"

...

Big Smart suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage.

He glared at the man blocking his way, "Kid, what are you doing?"

"Sir, Young Master, please have mercy. My mother is about to die. Please give me some money. I want to treat my mother."

This was a youth that was about 15 or 16-years-old. His figure was thin and appeared dirty. His eyes were lively and his eyebrows were broken in segments. At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground and begging.

"Get lost. We're not philanthropists. Why should we give you money?"

Big Smart snorted coldly. Now that Silken City was in chaos and many families had been destroyed, who could help? Moreover, this young man's mother was most likely infected with the plague. It was useless to pay for her treatment.

"Please, I'm willing to be your slave!"

The youth with the broken eyebrows kowtowed on the ground.

Big Smart raised his hand, wanting to push this person away with Genuine Qi. Song Shi's voice sounded.

"How much do you want?"

"Ten taels. I only want ten taels."

...

Hope appeared in the young man's despairing eyes.

"I'll give you 30 taels to save your mother."

Song Shi said to Big Smart, "Give it to him."

"Kid, you're lucky to have met our young master."

Big Smart took out 30 taels and threw it to the youth.

"Thank you, benefactor. Thank you, gracious lord."

The young man was desperately grateful.

"Go, save your mother."

Song Shi's expression was complicated. His mother had also died of illness, unfortunately, no amount of money could save her. The youth today reminded him of his past self.

The youth with the broken eyebrows hurriedly ran into the alley excitedly and returned home.

"Mother, you will be saved soon…"

The young man stepped through the door and his voice stopped abruptly. A familiar body was already lying under the linen cloth.

His father, who was coughing violently as the lights dimmed in his eyes muttered, "Child, it's too late. Your mother has already left."

Plop!

The youth with the broken eyebrows knelt on the ground weakly, as the silver taels in his hand fell to the ground.

"Mother…"

Sorrowful cries spread far and wide.

Similar scenarios played out in many places. Even if one had money, it was powerless in saving their loved ones.

Despair spread throughout Silken City.

There were many corpses lying on the road that appeared in the path of the carriage. Big Smart had no choice but to steer the carriage to enter a remote path.

"Young Master, this is a chaotic world. You shouldn't be so kind. There will be no end to helping people if you continue doing what you did right now."

Big Smart could not help but say what was on his mind.

"I know."

Song Shi did not mind, "If I want to help, I'll help. If I don't, I won't help. Because I have a clear conscience, I won't be a good person to just everyone."

"That's good. I'm afraid that the Young Master will help too much and cause us to run out of food."

Big Smart relaxed but suddenly felt a chill.

At this moment, horses neighed uneasily. Amidst the rhythmic sound, a blood-colored axe descended from the sky.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed!"

52 Treating Human Lives Like Weed

Big Smart angrily pulled out the long saber at his waist and a ferocious aura erupted, creating a circle of wind with the ability Gust.

The domineering Connate Genuine Qi poured into the saber and with a cold flash, it slashed at the axe.

Crack!

As soon as this majestic saber came into contact with the axe, it was shattered on the spot like rotten wood by the light emitted from the axe.

The axe continued to fall. The roof of the carriage was like paper, it was easily cut open by the sharp and domineering force.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Big Smart's palm was bleeding and he could not stop the axe from cutting down. He could only cry out a reminder.

Not only did Song Shi not dodge, but his eyes also lit up.

"This guy is an impatient person. He's trying to kill me again so quickly. I'll guess I will just have to die again."

He grinned and offered his neck.

Blood splattered as his neck and the car split apart.

"You were killed by the Dharma artifacts, Blood Axe. Physique 3!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 2 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

At the same time.

BANG!

The side wall suddenly exploded, and a large hand with a Blink bronze glow stretched out. It punched Big Smart, who wanted to help and smashed the opposite wall into pieces.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of Big Smart shattering the wall and the axe landing sounded at the same time.

The former fell into it and disappeared without a trace, while the latter slashed a ten-foot-deep crack in the ground.

The horse screamed and was kicked away by the burly Tong Hu, dying on the spot.

His face was filled with a ferocious aura as he laughed sinisterly, "You actually used trash weapons from the mortal world to receive my Dharma artifact, Blood Axe? How childish!"

He turned around and glanced at the carriage that was split in half. A pair of legs laid weakly on the ground motionlessly.

He sneered, "It's your honor to die under the power of my Dharma artifacts this time."

Thinking that Song Shi was dead, he strode over and grabbed the Blood Axe that had slashed into the ground. The runes on it lit up and the axe was pulled out of the crack.

At this moment, Song Shi, who was beside him, suddenly stood up. A sudden sliver of light from a sword appeared then disappeared in a flash.

Tong Hu didn't expect Song Shi to still be alive. From his senses, this person had died?

The most terrifying thing was that the power that this person suddenly erupted with was not much inferior to his.

Swoosh!

Ads by Pubfuture

There was a slight sound!

A line of blood appeared on Tong Hu's neck. Song Shi, who was originally dead, slashed across his neck with his sword and stood behind him.

"You!"

Tong Hu widened his eyes and wanted to turn around.

Splat!

Blood spurted out from the red line on his neck, turning into a bloody mist that spread. A huge head slid down and fell to the ground with a thud, rolling away.

His huge body slowly fell to the ground with a plop. Blood gushed out from his neck and quickly dyed the ground red.

In his left hand, a talisman was emitting light. Because it had lost the subsequent Spiritual Energy, it was no longer activated and slowly dimmed.

At the same time, the blood axe dimmed and fell back into the crack.

With one foot on Tong Hu's face, Song Shi held the blood-stained Gentleman Sword and looked down at Tong Hu,"That's it?"

The latter's eyes widened, filled with shock and unwillingness. He had never expected this kid to be so powerful.

If he knew, he would definitely not be so arrogant and would not attack so casually.

The weakling that he thought he could easily bully was actually a ferocious wolf in disguise!

The regret in Tong Hu's eyes was extinguished like a flame as he died with his eyes wide open!

"Ding… congratulations on killing the target of death. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery!"

After the system notification, Big Smart stepped out of the hole in the shattered wall opposite him and looked at Song Shi in a daze.

"Young Master, you… you killed him!"

Big Smart was shocked as he looked at Song Shi, who was holding a long sword and stepping on his head.

At this moment, the big guy on the ground had defeated him with one move. But in the end, his head was cut off by the Young Master!

Zheng!

With a crisp sound, the Gentleman Sword returned to its sheath.

"This person is too careless and I caught him off guard. Coupled with the fact that my sword is very sharp, it's not strange for him to die."

Song Shi calmly explained the reason. Looking at his bleeding neck, he frowned, "This is the first time I've killed an immortal cultivator. It doesn't feel like much."

Although they had experienced a few battles, the enemies were either zombies or evil spirits. They had never killed immortal cultivators.

...

This guy died about the same way ordinary people died.

When Big Smart saw that Song Shi was very calm, the corners of his mouth twitched, "My legs are trembling from when I was killed for the first time. Young Master, this is not bad already."

"Pay attention to your surroundings. I'll collect our spoils of war."

Song Shi lowered his body and pulled out the talisman in Tong Hu's hand. With a glance, he saw that it was a scribble, which exuded an inexplicable charm.

Unable to understand what this was, Song Shi continued to search the headless corpse. He took out a strange beast skin bag from his waist. Other than this, there was nothing else on this person anymore.

He sent his thoughts into the bag and vaguely felt that the space inside was much larger than it looked. However, it was blocked by a special force and he could not check what was inside further.

"Could this be the storage bag used by cultivators?"

Song Shi was pleasantly surprised. This was a very practical treasure.

"It should be a storage bag. I heard that such special Dharma artifacts can store things that are a hundred times larger than themselves. That's why it's called the Hundred Treasure Bag."

Big Smart watched enviously, "Elder Qin has one. He treasures it very much."

"Good stuff!"

...

Song Shi happily kept the storage bag and walked over to pull out the axe. He examined it carefully.

The axe was red and reeked of blood. Clearly, it had killed many people.

The axe was engraved with runes that flickered with a faint luster. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

"Tsk tsk, this is really a treasure to kill and commit arson. His whole get up was a result of his thievery."

He threw the axe to Big Smart, "This is for you. I don't use axes."

"For me?"

Big Smart was flattered, "This is too precious. I heard that the cheapest Dharma artifacts cost at least a million taels of silver."

"If you don't want it, just throw it away."

Song Shi turned around and left.

Big Smart could only accept it. He started to caress it lovingly and clearly liked it.

After taking two steps, Song Shi suddenly stopped and turned to the wall that Tong Hu had broken.

A couple and a child were lying on the ground. Their necks had been crushed by Tong Hu and there were still handprints left on their necks.

"Damn it, this Tong Hu is too bloodthirsty. Not only did he ambush me, he also attacked ordinary people!"

Song Shi's face darkened.

"Sigh, Young Master, some of them treat human lives like grass and kill people as if they were chickens."

Big Smart sighed.

"No wonder it was so easy for them to decide to kill me. The cultivation world is really chaotic."

Song Shi sneered. His impression of these people had deteriorated to the extreme.

"Find a few people to collect their corpses!"

"Yes, Young Master."

"Amitabha."

A loud Buddhist proclamation sounded, bringing with it a bright and heavy feeling.

Song Shi looked towards the family's door and narrowed his eyes slightly.

A solemn-looking young monk appeared. This person looked about the same age as him and was very handsome. He gave off a very clean and refreshing feeling.

The monk was wearing a yellow monk robe and had a unique and holy temperament, as if he was the reincarnation of a Buddha.

The person held a string of prayer beads and looked at Song Shi with a smile, "I'm Zhengyuan of Jinyuan Temple. Both of you seem to have good intentions and possess wisdom. Are you interested in joining Buddhism?"

Song Shi's face twitched. This was the first time a monk he met had asked him to become a monk. He could not help but joke around, "I'm not interested. I haven't slept enough with women."

53 I Just Like to Help Others

"Benefactor, you are straightforward and have the potential to gain great enlightenment."

The Monk Zheng Yuan was not angry. He smiled and looked at Big Smart, "This benefactor cultivates the Buddhist martial arts. He is most suitable to follow me to the temple to further study Buddhist Dharma."

"I'm not going. A cultivation technique like the Dragon Elephant Technique can also be bought with some money after all. Why should I go to the temple with you to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha? I won't even eat meat."

Big Smart shook his head like a rattle drum.

He had lived a good life with his young master and even had the chance to make a fortune. There was no chance that he would be tricked into going to the Buddhist Sect by The Monk Zhengyuan.

This was his second time being poached. Song Shi said unhappily, "I'm Song Shi. May I know what's the matter, Master Zhengyuan?"

"I sensed that the resentment in Silken City was soaring, so I came to resolve it and save all living beings. The commotion from the battle between both benefactors and the villain of Vajra Sect attracted me."

The Monk Zheng Yuan said gently.

"Then you can continue. I will not disturb you anymore!"

Song Shi turned around and left. This guy knew that he had killed Tong Hu. He had to start considering how to deal with Vajra Sect's revenge and see if he could use this opportunity to die a few more times.

The Monk Zhengyuan seemed to have seen through Song Shi's thoughts and smiled, "Are you worried that Vajra Sect will blame you? Actually, there's no need to be afraid. Tong Hu has already been expelled from the sect for violating the sect rules. Even if you kill him, you won't attract too much danger."

Song Shi's eyes lit up. Didn't that mean that he didn't have to worry about Vajra Sect's revenge?

He smiled, "Oh, so there's such a thing. Master Zhengyuan, do you know about the other cultivators who were expelled from the sect?"

"…"

The Monk Zhengyuan was slightly stunned. Why was this person's thought process so different from ordinary people?

He actually wanted to kill the other villains.

Big Smart was also puzzled. Young Master, shouldn't you be glad that you didn't provoke a powerful enemy and learn to start behaving?

"I don't have any other ideas. I just like to be helpful and clean up 'trash'."

Song Shi's expression was serious as he said righteously, "Other people definitely can't bear to do it themselves. I'm being considerate by doing so."

The Monk Zhengyuan pressed his palms together, "Amitabha. Patron, you're really a hidden talent. Most sects more or less have some villains amidst their disciples. Patron, if you want to help others, you can go to the Flower Room or the Heaven Secrets Office to ask."

"Flower Room and Heaven Secret Office. Alright, farewell, Master!"

Song Shi knew that they had only met by chance, so he would not foolishly reveal any information to him. Seeing that there was nothing else more to say, he cupped his fists and left.

"Your surname is Song, so you're from the Song family."

The Monk Zhengyuan asked.

"The seventh son of the Song family."

Song Shi recalled that this person was from Jinyuan Temple and fell into deep thought.

"Then we have a common enemy. One of my outer sect senior brothers went missing on the way to the Song family. I might have to trouble you in the future, Benefactor Song."

The Monk Zhengyuan bowed politely. Then, he walked to the corpse of the family of three and chanted the Rebirth Mantra.

Immediately, a bright light bloomed from his body and landed on the corpse. Something vaguely disappeared from the corpses.

Song Shi took a look and did not say anything else. This was their profession. He did not disturb them and left.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized a problem.

He actually did not see through this monk's background with his senses!

He tossed his storage bag and muttered, "This monk is not simple."

"I also think that he must be above the tenth level of Qi Refinement. That's why his aura has condensed into one and is as immovable as a mountain."

Big Smart guessed.

"Above the tenth level!"

Song Shi, who had just read some basic cultivation knowledge, was surprised. "Then isn't he preparing for the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage?"

Under normal circumstances, the Qi Refinement realm was divided into ten levels, but there were three small limits within these levels.

Those with outstanding Talent could continuously break through the limits of Qi Refinement and reach the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth levels. The more solid their foundation was, the greater their potential.

As for those with average aptitude, they would often reach the peak at the tenth level. It was very difficult for them to reach and breakthrough to the eleventh level. Instead, they would directly enter the Foundation Establishment realm.

Although the Foundation Establishment realm was stronger than the Qi Refinement realm, with every additional Qi Refinement realm, one's foundation would be deeper after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. Furthermore, one could quickly reach the perfect Foundation Establishment realm and condense a Spirit Body more easily.

"This person must be a genius nurtured by the Jinyuan Temple. I see that his skin is emitting a sparkling treasure light. He probably has a treasure body. He's at least at the eleventh level of Qi Refinement. He might even be at the twelfth level. Ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators are not his match at all."

Big Smart nodded firmly.

"How do you know so much?"

Song Shi glanced sideways, "It makes me look very ignorant."

"Ahem, I usually hear Elder Qin bragging, so I understand a little."

Big Smart replied awkwardly.

Song Shi took out a basic cultivation manual. "Damn it, I'm going to start studying seriously from now on."

"Actually, I don't know much either. I still need Young Master's guidance."

Big Smart looked at the cover covetously. This thing was only available in cultivation families and sects.

"I'll give it to you when I'm done."

As Song Shi walked, he found the description on the limits of Qi Refinement according to the catalog.

At the tenth level of Qi Refinement, one could condense a treasured body with the essence of the world in advance. At the eleventh level, a low-grade treasured body could then be formed. Mortal sabers and weapons would not be able to harm the body. At the twelfth level, one could also condense a high-grade treasured body. Ordinary treasured weapons would not be able to harm the body. At the thirteenth level, one could condense a Spirit Body in advance and their cultivation speed would also increase greatly.

Song Shi frowned. According to the description in the book, he was now an Invincible Vajra, invulnerable to swords and spears. Wasn't that equivalent to a low-grade treasured body?

...

Big Smart muttered, "I didn't expect Jinyuan Temple to only send people now. It's already been a few days."

"Don't care about him. Take care of yourself first!"

Song Shi raised his head and looked into the distance. There were flames soaring into the sky in the north of the city. It was not an ordinary fire, but a sign that someone was fighting. Clearly, energy fluctuations were constantly transmitted over.

"So many cultivators appeared in the New Moon Brothel today. They must be people like you, Young master, they came here to kill people and snatch treasures."

Big Smart guessed.

"What?"

Song Shi glared at him, "Don't say it if you don't know how to speak. I'm just defending myself. It's not the same at all, understand?"

"Look at my imprudent mouth."

Big Smart smiled awkwardly and shut up.

Song Shi flipped through the books and quickly returned to the temporary residence of the Demon Slayers Division.

Just as he reached the door, a series of footsteps appeared. Sikong Ya was covered in blood and had brought more than 20 people back. Ten of them were Black Iron Guards, and the rest were not wearing uniforms. They should be the secret cultivators he had found. Many of them were injured.

...

This was nothing. The most eye-catching thing was that Sikong Ya was holding a decapitated head in his hand. Blood was still dripping down from the severed neck, looking a little scary.

Song Shi's eyebrows twitched. He realized that this head was a little familiar. He had seen him in the New Moon Brothel before, but the person had appeared very inconspicuous.

This inconspicuous person had actually made Sikong Ya suffer so many losses before he could be taken down.

He could not help but look at the others, when his pupils constricted.

Chen Ming actually came back severely injured to the point that he had to be carried back.

"You've done well, helping us investigate the Sky Demon Cult's demonic beings. Next time, hang the photographic jade on your belt whenever possible."

Sikong Ya nodded at Song Shi. There were still traces of murderous aura on his body that intimidated the people around him.

"Ahem, it's definitely not suitable to wear it when I am sleeping with a woman."

Song Shi shrugged, making the people from the Demon Slayers Division laugh. The ferocious aura dissipated a lot with his comment.

Whoosh!

A sword light flew over.

"Brother Sikong, I just received news that the villain of Vajra Sect, Tong Hu, has been killed."

A clear and ethereal voice sounded from the sword light. The sword light landed on the ground and turned into a beautiful woman.

Sikong Ya was surprised, "How did that guy die the moment he arrived? But that's good too. This person is too bloodthirsty since he was from the demonic path. Since he died early, he won't cause us trouble."

Behind him, Song Shi's scalp went numb when he saw Chen Yiling. He turned around and left.

"Halt!"

Chen Yiling's sharp gaze landed on Song Shi. "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

54 Book of Endless Treasures and Jade

Song Shi stopped and turned to look at Chen Yiling with a smile, "Uh, I think this lady looks a little familiar too. Could it be that we were fated in our previous lives?"

This was the first time he had sized up this female sword cultivator at such a close distance. His eyes were filled with amazement.

This woman was very young. Her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly and she carried a heroic aura. She was like a slender sword, independent and extraordinary.

Seeing that Song Shi actually said such teasing words, many Black Iron Guards were dumbfounded.

!!

Was there a mistake? This person was an existence on the same level as their Commander Sikong and her status was even more noble. Yet, this fellow dared to be so disrespectful?

Chen Yiling's willowy eyebrows straightened slightly, turning into two thin swords that looked more dignified. She snorted and said, "You're quite the glib-tongue. Let me ask you, did you go to Reed Bank in the south of the city three days ago?"

Back then, she had only seen that person's back from afar and had not had the time to look at the front, so she was not 100% sure that Song Shi was the guy who went into the water.

"No."

Song Shi shook his head.

"Really?"

Chen Yiling was suspicious. The more she looked at Song Shi, the more she felt that he looked like that person.

"If I lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Song Shi stretched out his hand and swore to the heavens with a serious expression.

In reality, he did hope that what he said came true. He looked at the unresponsive sky and muttered in his heart. How good would it be if this oath was effective? It will be another easy way for me to die.

Hearing this vicious oath, Chen Yiling's expression softened.

As a cultivator, oaths were not made casually. Moreover even ordinary people would not dare to say what Song Shi had said.

After all, there were gods and Buddhas in this world. It was really possible to be struck by lightning for breaking the oath.

Unfortunately, she would never have thought that Song Shi was not afraid of death nor afraid of being struck by lightning.

"Does Miss Chen know him?"

Sikong Ya was a little curious.

"I've got the wrong person."

Chen Yiling turned away from Song Shi and glanced at the head in Sikong Ya's hand, "With Tuoba Lin dead, I hope that the Heavenly Demon Cult will restrain themselves."

"It will be difficult. To them he is just a small fry. We haven't even seen the real leader of the cult. Moreover we also haven't even killed Hei Duzi, the instigator."

Sikong Ya was not optimistic. He brought people into the courtyard and threw the head on the ground, "Ah Dong, take the head immediately to receive the reward and exchange for more healing pills, armor, and Dharma artifacts."

"Yes, Commander."

The skinny young man with dark skin who was waiting inside the door held a box and packed the head. He said to the others, "Report to me your battle losses and personal needs."

The Black Iron Guards and Temporary helpers walked over and explained their situation.

"Song Shi, if you have any needs, you can also say. After all, you are equivalent to the Black Iron Guards."

Sikong Ya nodded at Song Shi, not forgetting his promise.

"Anything?"

Song Shi's eyes lit up.

"My Demon Slayers Division has a lot of things. You can find whatever you want yourself. As long as you exchange it according to the upper limit of your contribution points, I'll give you an additional 500 contribution points now. Ah Dong, charge it to my account first."

"Alright!"

Ah Dong replied in surprise. He did not expect the commander to lend this person so many contribution points. It was already not bad for a person who was not even considered an official Black Iron Guards to be allowed to report his needs.

Sikong Ya glanced at the pale Chen Ming and shouted, "Where's Zhangsun Ji? We've been back for so long but there are still no traces of him. There are so many injured people here, why isn't he coming out to treat them!"

"Hehe, he's still sleeping with women."

Ah Dong sneered.

These words made Chen Yiling reveal a look of disgust. She snorted and said, "What a trash, all he knows is to hide behind everyone and enjoy himself only."

She seemed to know Zhangsun Ji's character. She cursed and came to Ah Dong, "I want to exchange for a defensive Dharma artifact with masculine Stats. Let me see what I can exchange for."

Ah Dong had originally given Song Shi and the others booklets, but this time, he took out a round jade plate and activated it with Connate Genuine Qi. Immediately, the jade plate emitted a colorful light and condensed into balls of light.

There were words on each ball of light, including Dharma artifacts, elixirs, spells, puppets, cultivation techniques, and so on.

When Song Shi saw it, he immediately felt that the booklet with all kinds of things written on it was no longer as impressive as he thought.

"There are even interfaces like that similar to online shopping. This is the cultivation world. Even if the system is very feudal, there are still many convenient things for cultivators to use."

Amidst his amazement, Song Shi leaned over to see what was inside.

"Kid, why are you squeezing? People like us can't even afford the cheapest one in the Book of Endless Treasures and Jade!"

The secret cultivator who was touched by Song Shi crossed his arms and sneered, "Not to mention someone like you who has only gone on one mission."

"Can't I take a look?"

Song Shi walked to Chen Yiling's side and curiously watched as the latter stretched out her slender finger and pointed at the Dharma artifacts.

A faint fragrance wafted into Song Shi's nostrils. He thought to himself, What a comfortable fragrance!

He stole a glance at Chen Yiling. Her skin was jade-like, crystal clear, and slightly red. The black hair beside her exquisite ears slowly fluttered and the end touched his cheek slightly. It was a little itchy.

Chen Yiling looked at Song Shi strangely. Why didn't she instinctively hate this guy coming close? Instead, she felt an inexplicable feeling when he approached.

At this moment, after she pointed at it with her finger, the light ball split into a few rows of new light balls. Amongst them, were attack-type Dharma artifacts like flying swords and small knives, as well as defensive Dharma artifacts like turtle shells and shields. Every Dharma artifact had a price on it and they were all worth more than ten thousand contribution points.

After flipping through it a few times, Chen Yiling pointed at a scarlet jade mirror that was worth 60,000 contribution points and said, "I want this Crimson Fire Mirror. I'll give you my identity token. Deduct it directly and get it back for me as soon as possible."

With that, she took out a jade token and handed it to Ah Dong.

...

The latter took it and pasted it on the jade plate. Immediately, a new ball of light jumped out and the balance inside reached six digits.

Ah Dong made a hand seal and the balance instantly decreased by 60,000. At the same time, the light ball of the Crimson Fire Mirror disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, what kind of device is this?"

Song Shi exclaimed. He felt that this was a little like online shopping from his previous life.

"Amateur. These Dharma treasures refined by the Heaven Secrets Office are special communication tools. They're specifically designed to transmit vital information—from details on available exchange items to straight-up messages."

Just then, a young man with a frivolous face and a medicinal fragrance walked out. He was wearing white clothes with a Furnace embroidered on the chest. He seemed to be the apothecary healer who was mentioned previously.

At this moment, he was hugging a beautiful woman. His expression was lazy as he looked down at Song Shi disdainfully.

The latter was originally unhappy by the disrespect, but when he turned around and saw the woman in this fellow's arms, he frowned slightly.

This woman was actually Song Jia. At this moment, she was wearing a loose short skirt. Her face was rosy and she hugged the healer like a little bird.

Song Jia was not embarrassed by Song Shi's gaze. Instead, she smiled coquettishly, "Young Master Zhangsun, my brother only knows how to visit brothels. How can he recognize immortal Dharma treasures?"

Song Shi's expression darkened. It was fine if this woman hooked up with someone from the Demon Slayers Division, but was there a need to mock him with sarcasm?

...

"Zhangsun Ji, what are you doing? You're still playing with women at this time. Can't you see that some of us are injured and some are even unconscious?"

Sikong Ya actually roared angrily. Clearly, he was very angry at this person's sloppy appearance.

"What's the hurry? Those who were going to die are already dead. Those who aren't dead won't die for a while anyways."

Zhangsun Ji was not afraid at all, as if he was used to it.

55 Kicking Someone's Head While Walking at Night

"Zhangsun Ji, don't think that you're superior just because you're a ranked apothecary. You'd better not go overboard. I don't want to beat you up in front of so many people."

Sikong Ya's eyes were filled with murderous intent. A ball of jade-colored light rose from his hands and he looked like he was about to attack at any moment.

"You're just relying on your cultivation level being higher than mine…"

Zhangsun Ji let go of Song Jia and reluctantly went to check on the wounded.

Song Jia awkwardly stepped back and stood with Big Smart, who had no presence in the room.

Sensing that the palm print on the woman's face had disappeared, Song Shi fell into deep thought.

Could it be that because he had beaten this woman up she started sleeping with others stronger than him in a fit of anger?

Then he could only say one word.

Respect!

Ah Dong returned the token to Chen Yiling and said to Song Shi, "Brother, what do you want to exchange for?"

Perhaps he sensed that Sikong Ya had taken a liking to Song Shi, he was rather polite. He knew how to conduct himself better than Zhangsun Ji.

"Can I exchange this Light Body Technique?"

Song Shi chose a low-level spell. This spell could summon a breeze to allow him to fly for a short period of time, which piqued his interest.

"Your reward for this mission is 500 contribution points. Coupled with what Commander Sikong gave you, it's just enough."

Ah Dong drew a few strokes on the booklet, "Alright, you can take it tonight."

"Thank you for your effort!"

Song Shi gave Big Smart a look and the two of them walked to the side.

"Let's go back to the Song family to cultivate."

Sikong Ya looked over, "Who asked you to leave? Take this identity token. Liang Juan, arrange rooms for them to stay in."

Song Shi received the black token in shock. He was given an official identity so quickly? He was not mentally prepared.

The rogue cultivators at the side revealed looks of envy and confusion.

This person didn't seem to have much ability, so why was he so favored?

Song Jia's expression was complicated. This guy had actually really obtained the attention of the Demon Slayers Division and even had an identity token.

She had misunderstood the other party previously. No wonder she was beaten up.

"What's the point of keeping such trash in the Demon Slayers Division? Isn't it just a waste of food?"

Zhangsun Ji, who was treating someone's wound, looked up in disdain, "I really shouldn't have come here. I, a dignified Apothecary, became a dogsh*t doctor."

Song Shi suddenly felt that this guy was the same kind of person as Song Jia. They both had foul mouths.

"If you don't want to, you can scram any time!"

Sikong Ya's expression was cold as he scolded Zhangsun Ji back. He continued to say to Song Shi, "Special circumstances will mean that you will not be handled the ordinary way. Take your identity token first. In the future, when you have time, you can officially go through the procedure and register."

"Fine."

Song Shi did not say anything. At most, he would defect in the future. After all, he had never experienced being hunted down yet.

He brought Big Smart to follow the middle-aged woman called Liang Juan. While Big Smart was studying the Blood Axe, he also took out his storage bag.

"How do I open this?"

After sizing it up, Song Shi hurriedly flipped through the encyclopedia of cultivation foundations and searched for strategies on the spot.

A few minutes later, everything in the storage bag was taken out.

Other than a pile of miscellaneous items, the most valuable things were four medicine bottles, more than a hundred square jade stones glowing with a faint Will-O-Wisp, three talismans, two jade slips and a blood-colored wordless token.

"These jade stones must be spirit stones. These are talismans. I don't recognize them, I should continue studying the encyclopedia."

Through comparing everything to the Encyclopedia of Cultivation Basics, Song Shi eventually recognized everything from this fellow.

Among the four medicine bottles were the Qi Boosting Pill, the Qi Recovery Pill, the Body Tempering Liquid, and the Fasting Pill. The three talismans were all Vajra Talismans.

Inside the jade slip were two cultivation techniques. One was the Blood Fury Skill and the other was the Golden Body Incantation.

The former was an evil cultivation technique. A brief read revealed that it required constant bloodshed to advance quickly. It might have something to do with Tong Hu being chased out of the sect.

The latter was a body tempering technique of the Vajra Sect. Its cultivation speed was very slow but its advantage was that it had a solid foundation.

"The Blood Fury Technique will affect one's mind. It's better not to cultivate it. I can consider the Golden Body Technique."

Song Shi tidied up the pile of things and put them back into his storage bag, hiding them in his arms.

He opened the system again. Other than a lucky draw and 46 Free Stats, there was nothing else to do.

After some consideration, he chose to add all his Freedom Attribute Points to Comprehension.

This was an attribute that was very difficult to increase greatly through cultivation at the moment, whereas his Physique and Spirit could clearly increase with cultivation.

He also had to cultivate many cultivation techniques and spells. His powerful Comprehension ensured that it would not take him long to learn them.

Swoosh!

The gaze in Song Shi's eyes became even more profound.

His Comprehension increased from 50 points to 96 points in one go, almost doubling.

There was a rumble in his mind and the sound of the Great Dao faintly appeared in his ears. Song Shi seemed to have become one with the world, completely fusing into this space.

The various cultivation techniques in his memory changed as if they had been digested and further integrated into his mind.

Even the Golden Body Incantation that he had just seen seemed to have been simulated and he had quickly grasped the trick.

...

Song Shi's eyes flickered and he felt that his enlightened state of mind was getting deeper and deeper.

He looked at the system interface.

Lottery Chance:

At this point, he clicked on the lottery.

"Ding… congratulations on drawing the True Yang Chain Mail."

Song Shi shook his head in disappointment. He was really unlucky to have drawn something that would affect his courting of death.

He went next door and knocked.

Big Smart hurriedly came out, "Young Master, what can I do for you?"

Song Shi took out the True Yang Chain Mail from the system. When he raised his hand, a dark red chain mail appeared in his hand.

He threw it to Big Smart, "I'll let you wear this useless thing. If necessary, help me block any attacks for the old man and the others."

The chain mail made Big Smart's hand sink. He knew at a glance that it was precious. He wanted to say something, but Song Shi had already turned around and gone back.

"Young Master, you're too good to me!"

Big Smart's eyes were filled with tears, "Don't worry, I'll definitely protect the old man and the others."

After the lottery draw was over, Song Shi took out the remaining four Qi Enhancing Pills that Liu Ruxue had given him and swallowed them in one go. He cultivated until it was dark and his cultivation strength had become much deeper. His seventh level of the Yang Refinement Technique had reached the intermediate level.

"Time to get the Light Body Technique!"

Song Shi estimated the time and pushed the door open.

Big Smart heard the commotion and immediately followed.

Their residence was also a large manor. It was distributed in a C1 pattern and the gathering point was at the front door.

After two aisles, at the corner, they encountered a pale man.

On a closer look, it was Chen Ming, who had been injured and unconscious during the day.

Song Shi greeted, "Brother Chen, you could get out of bed so quickly?"

The latter looked at him coldly, nodded slightly, and left.

"Why does this guy seem like he has become someone else? He gives me a creepy feeling."

Song Shi found it strange but did not think too much about it. After taking a few steps, he suddenly kicked something in the middle of the path.

He looked down and saw a head rolling about. It looked a little familiar.

Song Shi's scalp went numb. He realized that this head was the decapitated head of the guy that Sikong Ya had carried during the day.

Who seemed to be called Tuoba or something.

"What the hell? Wasn't this head put in a box? Who took it out and threw it around?"

Song Shi cursed inwardly.

Big Smart said nervously, "Young Master, you kicked someone's head while walking around at night, is… is this an ominous sign?"

56 Aren't My Arms Warm?

"What nonsense are you sprouting? It's not like I have been kicking people's heads around when I walk at night every day."

Song Shi squinted and was puzzled. "Although, how unlucky. How did this head end up here?"

Suddenly, a white figure darted past, bringing with it a cold wind.

"Hehehe…"

!!

The woman's laughter reverberated in the wind. A strange green whirlwind stirred near Song Shi and Big Smart, causing their clothes to flutter.

"Who's there!"

Big Smart took out the Blood Axe from the linen bag. A transparent Connate aura erupted from him and he looked vigilant.

"These things don't seem to be human."

Song Shi frowned. These strange things even dared to come to the Demon Slayers Division's territory. They were too arrogant.

"I like heads. Can you guys give me your heads?"

A faint voice sounded out of nowhere.

Swoosh!

A flash of white appeared behind them.

Big Smart turned around and saw a figure that had her back facing them. She was dressed in white and had a graceful figure. She seemed like she was rather beautiful.

However, in the next second, the figure turned around and approached him. He was instantly frightened and said with a trembling voice, "Young… Young Master… She doesn't have a head."

"Her shadow is already a killer."

Song Shi had already activated his divine sense. He could now investigate the situation even with his back turned.

As he muttered and turned around. A headless ghost was facing them.

She had a slim waist and perky buttocks. Her full chest could make one's imagination run wild. Her long legs were fitted with red embroidered shoes.

The only flaw was that her neck was empty and was still bleeding, giving off an eerie sense of flawed elegance.

Seeing that Big Smart was trembling, he kicked Big Smart's butt, "What are you afraid of? You're really ignorant. What's so strange about not having a head? I've seen bodies before…"

At this point, his pupils shrank. Could it be…

"Have you seen my head?"

Swoosh!

The white shadow instantly closed in and stuck in front of Song Shi. Blood and bones could be clearly seen on the severed neck.

An extremely cold aura spread into the air, making Big Smart shiver.

"Young… Young Master, it's so cold!"

Big Smart injected Connate Genuine Qi into the axe, causing the blood-colored runes on it to light up. He was about to slash at the headless female ghost at any moment.

"You have to exercise more. Look, I'm not cold."

Song Shi's expression was calm. Flames danced on his chest and hands, blocking the cold air that tried to force its way into his body.

Then, he raised his hand and poked the headless female ghost. It felt like ice.

Big Smart broke out in cold sweat, "Young Master… aren't you afraid? Why are you poking her?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If it's an evil spirit, do you think she will not attack me just because I didn't poke her?"

As he spoke, Song Shi continued to grab the other party's hand and evaluate her long, greenish-black nails. "It's time to cut your nails. There are many dirty things hidden under it. It's unhygienic."

"Young Master, there seems to be flesh under her nails. Perhaps it's all human…"

Big Smart wiped his sweat. He felt that the Young Master was clearly provoking her. This headless female ghost could attack at any moment.

"That's not cute at all. How can such a beautiful little hand kill someone?"

Song Shi shook his head.

"Do you know where my head is?"

The eerie female voice reverberated in the air, it was unclear where it came from.

Song Shi did not answer the question, "That doesn't make sense. Without a head, how can you speak like that?"

"I can borrow someone else's head, hehe."

On the ground, the head that Song Shi had accidentally kicked suddenly opened its eyes and gave a strange answer.

"Oh my god, it's a zombie!"

Big Smart was so frightened that he almost swung his axe.

However, if the enemy did not move, he would not dare to act recklessly. It would be terrible if he could not win.

"Logically speaking, this head's throat should have been destroyed. How did you make a sound?"

Song Shi continued to ask.

The headless female corpse couldn't take it anymore and cursed, "Ask your mother, why are you asking so many questions? Die!"

She seemed to have experienced a mental breakdown and screamed. Tuoba Lin's decapitated head and headless corpse suddenly moved at the same time.

The former grinned and flew up, opening its bloody mouth to bite Big Smart. The latter raised her hand and stabbed Song Shi.

Big Smart was already prepared. When he saw the head attack, he swung his ax down.

However, Song Shi did not shield himself but instead bared his chest to the ghost.

Puff!

...

The sharp nails were like knives stabbing into Song Shi's heart, instantly shattering it.

Song Shi was pushed out by the headless female ghost. With a bang, he slammed into the wall behind him and fell into the house.

Song Shi, who was on the verge of death, laughed and hugged the ghost.

"Miss, you're so cold. I'll warm you up."

He wrapped his arms around her voluptuous body.

"Young Master!"

Big Smart pushed Tuoba Lin's head back and wanted to help, but the head bit the axe.

"Let go!"

Ads by Pubfuture

He swung his axe with all his might, but he could not shake it off.

At this moment, the head suddenly screamed and let go of the axe inexplicably, as if it was injured.

"Hmph, how can you casually bite my terrifying Dharma artifacts?"

...

Big Smart thought that the power of the Dharma artifacts had injured this fellow and sneered proudly.

However, in the next second, the head attacked again, making him flustered.

In the broken wall.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Blood flowed out of Song Shi's heart. The blood actually emitted a domineering masculine power, making the female ghost's hand become seemingly corroded.

A miserable scream came from outside. Song Shi was deep in thought. "I didn't expect that when I'm strong enough, even my blood can ward off evil spirits. Isn't that the same as black dog's Gu blood? Pfft, how can I compare myself to a dog?"

Song Shi died with that strange thought.

"You have been killed by a Yin spirit. True Energy 6!"

"You have absorbed power from death and obtained 3 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

In an instant, Song Shi recovered. The bloody hole in his chest disappeared and only his clothes were torn.

The headless female ghost was about to leave Song Shi when she realized that this person had opened his eyes again and was even grinning at her.

"Beautiful, why are you running? Isn't my embrace warm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flames on his hands and chest lit up brightly, as if four fireballs were burning and a power of extreme Yang erupted.

The headless female ghost's body melted like rust on sulfuric acid.

Another scream came from outside. The injured headless ghost retaliated angrily, its sharp nails stabbing into Song Shi's heart again.

Song Shi died a second time.

"So this guy screamed because of Young Master!"

No matter how stupid Big Smart was, he could tell that the head was screaming because its body had been attacked by the young master.

"Young Master is so fierce, making this ghost cry out like this!"

Big Smart thought of how he had been sent flying with a slap and knew that his young master was stronger than him. Hence he was not in a hurry to help.

Since the two were one, as long as he destroyed this head, it would still work if the body was not harmed.

However, he was puzzled. "It's been so long. Where are the people from the Demon Slayers Division? Are they all dead?"

He turned around and immediately a terrified expression formed on his face.

A huge black dome actually blocked the sky, enveloping the entire manor. Cold black energy surged, causing the surroundings to be enveloped in a layer of black fog.

In the fog, there were ghostly shadows flying around and there were faint screams in the air.

"It's not that they didn't come, but they were also attacked. Who… actually dared to destroy the Demon Slayers Division's nest!"

After Big Smart broke through to the Connate realm, this was the first time he felt that he was still small and weak.

57 Taking the Initiative to Feed the Female Ghost

He hurriedly informed Song Shi who was still in the room, "Young Master, we seem to have been surrounded by demons. Why don't we think of a way to escape?"

"Right away!"

Song Shi replied and seized the time to fight the headless female ghost.

He continued to hug her tightly and used himself as a furnace to release the scorching Nine Yang True Energy to imprison her soul, preventing her from escaping.

!!

Ever since he saw that the big-headed ghost could dodge physical attacks, Song Shi knew that he had to use the energy of the Nine Yang True Energy to capture the other party's ghostly body.

With his powerful physical strength, the headless female ghost could not escape even if she wanted to. She could only attack crazily.

She forcefully broke Song Shi's neck, twisted it into the shape of a fried dough twist, or pierced his eyes and scratched his throat…

After killing him for a few times in a row, Song Shi could still quickly recover to his original state.

"Why aren't you dead yet?!"

There were screams outside the house. It was obvious that she was on the verge of breaking down.

"Looks like the young master has the advantage. I don't have to worry. Let's chop this dog head up first!"

Big Smart did not know any spells or how to control the Dharma artifacts. He simply injected Connate Genuine Qi into them and tried his best to activate the power of the Dharma artifact.

Buzz!

The Blood Axe vibrated and a sharp light suddenly erupted, cutting the head in half with a crack.

"Ah!"

As the head screamed, a white light shot out and flew into the house beside him.

"Young Master, part of her soul has returned to the body!"

With Genius' reminder, the headless female corpse in front of Song Shi's chest squirmed, and eyes, nose, and mouth appeared. She looked at Song Shi with hatred.

"Well …"

Song Shi, who had revived for the seventh time, looked at this scene in shock. Was there a mistake? This ghost still did not have a head but could make noise?

"Give me your head!"

The latter opened her bloody mouth and bit off Song Shi's head. She looked at Song Shi's bleeding neck and smiled happily, "You don't have a head now either!"

However, three seconds later, Song Shi's head grew back, causing her smile to stop abruptly and turn into anger.

Why wasn't this person dead yet?!

"Come on, bite here!"

Song Shi stretched his head over. It was equivalent to taking the initiative to feed the female ghost.

The headless female ghost was stunned. Clearly, she did not expect someone to send their head into her mouth.

Ads by Pubfuture

After being a ghost for so many years, this was the first time she had seen such proactive 'food'.

However, this 'food' was a little hard to chew through. She felt that her teeth were about to break.

After quickly dying for the ninth time, Song Shi continued to use the Nine Yang True Energy to obliterate her soul.

"Come, continue!"

Song Shi used the power of the Nine Yang Energy to exhaust the other party while provoking her.

Under the intense pain, the female ghost instinctively killed Song Shi, who was right in front of her.

By the tenth time, the female ghost's body had already become much more illusory.

A cold light flashed in Song Shi's eyes when he revived this time. He did not offer himself to the female ghost anymore. Instead, he quickly took a step back. He condensed True Energy in his palm and stuffed it into the other party's mouth.

Two balls of fireball-like power shot in in the blink of an eye and the headless female ghost's body suddenly expanded.

"Ah!"

Amidst the screams, there was a loud bang and she exploded.

The terrifying blast from the explosion sent Big Smart flying and he rolled outside like a ball.

The remaining flames ignited the wooden window and table, slowly burning them.

"Ding… congratulations on killing the target of death. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery!"

Song Shi, who was trapped in a wall inside, let out a breath.

It was good that she was dead. He felt that this headless female ghost was much stronger than the big-headed ghost last time.

If it was a head-on confrontation, he would at most only be able to save his life. It would be very difficult for him to kill the other party.

"Aiyo, Young Master, what exploded?"

Big Smart bared its teeth and touched his sore butt as he stood up, not understanding the situation.

"The female ghost exploded!"

Song Shi pulled himself out of the wall and walked over to pick up a white bead that was lying on the ground. He said in surprise, "Why is there this thing again? Could it be that this is something similar to a demon core?"

He thought of the bead he picked up when he killed the tentacle monster. It was similar to this. Did the big-headed ghost have it too, but he didn't notice it?

With the help of the fire, he took out the encyclopedia of basic cultivation and found the chapter introduction on ghosts. Soon, he found the exact same picture depicting the white bead.

"This is a Soul Pearl. The culmination of the world's Yin Qi and the essence of the soul. With it, low-level ghosts have a shot at a second chance. But for high-level ghosts? Their success is all but guaranteed."

Song Shi was in deep thought as he read the last sentence, "Soul beads can be used to refine pills that are beneficial to the soul. They can also be used to nurture ghost pets. Refining Dharma treasures capable of soul attack is worth more than possessing demon cores of the same level."

"Young Master…"

Big Smart reminded softly and pointed outside, "There are many ghosts flying around outside."

...

"Oh, I forgot about that."

Song Shi, who was never worried about his life, smiled awkwardly. He felt that his sense of crisis was insufficient, as he was actually searching for information here in peace despite the chaos.

He walked out of the door and looked at the sky. He felt that there was a black pot covering the manor.

"This is a trap array. Are you kidding me? Are the people of the Demon Slayers Division just going to take this lying down?"

Song Shi, who had a certain level of Array Formation knowledge, recognized it at a glance and was filled with disappointment.

Moreover this was an official secret service organization. In the end, they still got locked up and beaten up in their own house. It was ridiculous.

"I don't understand either."

Big Smart sighed, "The powerful image of the Demon Slayers Division in my heart has been destroyed."

"It seems that there are indeed many enemies. Let's go and find the old man quickly and think of a way to escape."

When Song Shi thought of his father, his expression changed slightly and he became nervous.

The old man had let him do as he wished and he could enjoy himself for more than ten years. He still wanted the other party to live comfortably and not die here.

...

He quickly used up the last lottery chance to see if he could get something suitable.

'Ding… Congratulations on obtaining the Fire Python Talisman!

Upon hearing the notification, Song Shi frowned.

It looked like an offensive talisman, which it could be used to deal a fatal blow.

He wondered how powerful it was.

He looked at the message.

Fire Python Talisman: High-level magic-level talisman. It can summon three fire pythons to attack. Its power is comparable to an all-out attack of an early-stage Golden Core.

"What!"

Song Shi was shocked when he saw the word "Golden Core".

He thought of the three Vajra Talismans he had obtained from Tong Hu. They were only low-level dharma talismans and could only withstand a late-stage Qi Refinement realm attack.

Whereas this thing was actually comparable to a Golden Core attack. It was greatly unexpected.

"Killing Foundation Establishment cultivators with this thing should not be a problem as long as we catch them off guard."

Song Shi's gaze shifted. He wondered if there were any Foundation Establishment Cultivators tonight. Perhaps he could give it a try.

"Who killed my headless ghost pet? Now I have to sleep on a warm bed! You really have a death wish!"

A loud shout sounded from the distant black fog, shocking Song Shi to his core. Big Smart almost fell from fright.

"A prostitute to cool his bed… He can bear to sleep with her even though she is headless. What a sadist."

When Song Shi heard this, he felt that this person was a pervert.

Swoosh!

A pair of green eyes that was like burning ghost flames looked over and locked onto the two of them.

A terrifying killing intent descended into the air, causing the two of them to tremble uncontrollably. The circulation of power in their bodies slowed down upon being oppressed by this power.

The terrifying pressure made their bodies heavy and it became very difficult for them to move.

"There's no one else here. It must be you. Since you dare to kill my beloved headless ghost pet, you can become new headless ghosts!"

58 Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, Mixed Double Kill

This person said sinisterly, "Leopard Ghost, Cat Ghost, go and swallow their blood essence and capture their souls for me."

Two beast-like ghosts flew out while emitting strange cries.

Big Smart's face turned pale with despair, "Young Master, we're finished. This person is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and he's targeting us!"

Song Shi glanced at the flying ghost shadow and took out two talismans before handing them to Big Smart.

"This is a Vajra Amulet. Continue to look for the old man and the others."

"Young Master, you… aren't you leaving?"

Big Smart was so touched that he wanted to cry. At this moment, Young Master actually chose to face the difficulties and let him leave.

"I can deal with this kind of trashy ghost alone. Go quickly!"

Song Shi pushed Big Smart, turned around and took the initiative to run into the house. It was only suitable to farm the necessary number of deaths to gain rewards in a hidden place.

Big Smart's eyes were filled with tears. How could he not tell that this so-called trashy ghost was stronger than the headless female ghost just now? The young master still did not hesitate!

He said firmly, "Young Master, don't worry. I'll do my best to protect the old man and the others!"

With that, he strode towards Song Wan's residence.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ghostly figures flying over had strange appearances. One was a black cat, and the other was a gray leopard. Their movements were extremely swift!

They also split into two groups. One of them chased after Big Smart.

"Fireball!"

Song Shi turned around and formed a seal. True Energy condensed according to a specific trajectory under his will. After forming an energy circuit with his energy, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was triggered.

In the blink of an eye, a fireball was condensed. He grabbed it and threw it at the Leopard Ghost like a ball, aiming for it's head.

Boom!

As soon as the fireball came into contact with the Leopard Ghost, it exploded. In an instant, flames lit up.

"Howl…"

The latter subconsciously dodged, but it was still hit by the explosion. It's tail was gone, and a portion of it's butt disappeared.

"This fireball is very powerful. It is equivalent to a cultivation version of a grenade."

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. If not for this world, such a thing would only exist in his imagination.

With his cultivation, he could throw a few more fireballs, but it was just troublesome to form hand seals.

"ROAR!"

This fireball completely enraged the Leopard Ghost. It turned around and charged over.

Meanwhile, the black cat had also arrived in a gust of cold wind. Song Shi did not want to die here, so he activated the last Vajra Amulet in his hand.

The talisman glowed brightly and released a circle of golden energy. In the blink of an eye, it formed a barrier that blocked the black cat's sharp claws.

Amidst the ear-piercing friction, a few scratches appeared on the barrier. The black cat landed beside him with a strange cry. The green flames in its eyes flickered, and its claws kept digging into the ground. As it was not able to kill Song Shi directly, it seemed a little anxious.

"Come with me, kitty."

Song Shi turned around and ran into the house. He believed that the masters of these two beasts did not have the time to pay attention to him. Otherwise, they would have taken action themselves.

It seemed that Sikong Ya was the other party's main goal.

"ROAR!"

Leopard Ghost followed him in. Soon, the sounds of fighting could be heard in the room.

The experienced Song Shi fought the cat and leopard with all his might in various ways. As he died, he weakened the two of them and waited to deal them a fatal blow.

With the combination of the cat and leopard attacking him, Song Shi quickly died ten times.

"Ding… congratulations on being killed 50 times by Yin spirits and awakening a high-grade Fire Spirit Root!"

Song Shi's fire spiritual root had leveled up again!

"Haha, as expected!"

Song Shi laughed loudly. Feeling the purer Nine Yang True Energy in his body, he simply let the two beasts kill him.

When Song Shi was intentionally courting death,

In the outside world, the black fog in the sky churned and wild shrieks and howls could be heard.

Hundreds of ghostly shadows weaved together. It could be said that this was a night of a hundred ghosts.

Big Smart protected himself with his Dharma artifact and amulet and successfully found Song Wan, Song Bei, and the others.

They were with the main group of the Demon Slayers Division and were currently surrounded and a group of evil ghosts and cultivators who wanted to kill them.

"Die!"

He rushed over from behind and slashed away a zombie-like fellow. He said solemnly, "Master, I'm here!"

"Where's Shi'er?"

Song Wan's heart skipped a beat when he saw that only Big Smart came over.

"Young Master was entangled by two beasts. He asked me to come and protect you first."

Big Smart said with tears in his eyes.

"This child…"

Song Wan's expression was complicated. The eldest son he had placed high hopes on had provoked the enemy, Hei Duzi. His third and fourth sons still did not dare to return. The other sons and daughters he had were either dead or married. The ones left behind with him now were either young or unreasonable shrews.

...

Until now, only this son, whom everyone used to treat as a burden, had stepped forward!

Song Jia, who was holding Song Bei's hand, was in a daze. Was the boy she had bullied and looked down on since she was young so powerful?

"What a joke. He's just a temporary Black Iron Guards. How can he fight even two of the hundred of ghosts? He's probably been eaten now."

Chang Sunji, who was beside Song Jia, sneered. At this moment, he was controlling a furnace-shaped Dharma artifacts, that released a fire curtain to block the evil ghosts that were attacking from time to time.

With him around, Song Wan and the others avoided being directly attacked by the evil spirits.

"Seventh Young Master is very powerful!"

Big Smart retorted. Why was this person's mouth as mean as Miss Jia's? Indeed, they match made in heaven.

"No matter how powerful he is, he will die tonight!"

Chang Sunji sneered and looked at the figure in the black fog in the distance with fear. "The Hundred Ghost Gonfalon Dharma artifact refined by these Demon Daoist from the Sky Demon Cult has already advanced to the stage Dharma treasures. They even used the Hundred Ghost Life Extinguishing Array to seal our retreat. If we don't rush out, everyone will become the food of the hundreds of Ghosts."

"Ah!"

As he spoke, two more temporary workers of the Demon Slayers Division were torn apart by several ghost shadows. With a terrifying biting sound, the blood around them immediately disappeared and they were no longer human.

...

"Well …"

Big Smart felt that he shouldn't have come over. It was obviously more dangerous here.

He shrunk his neck and hurriedly retreated to Song Wan's side. He let Blood Axe remain active and protected the old man behind him with a guarded expression.

"Little Liu, you've actually reached the Connate realm!"

Elder Qin, who was beside Song Wan, spoke in a weak voice.

"Yes, Seventh Young Master helped."

Big Smart glanced at the latter. "You're able to move now. Looks like the pills Young Master gave you were very precious."

"Hmph, it's clearly Young Master Zhangsun's medical skills that are brilliant. Moreover, Young Master Zhangsun also gave Elder Qin a healing pill."

Song Jia retorted.

Big Smart was rendered speechless by her comment and did not know what to say.

He had not seen Chang Sunji treat Elder Qin's illness, so he could not comment on the situation?

"I don't know where that kid got the medicinal pills from, but they're somewhat effective. Otherwise, the medicinal pills you sold your body for wouldn't have been enough to make this old man move in less than half a day."

Chang Sunji said indifferently, causing Song Jia's tone to halt and she became unable to speak.

"But he definitely won't survive. There's no more movement over there."

Big Smart's expression changed and he hurriedly looked over. The black fog had engulfed everything and he could not see at all.

"This old demon probably doesn't dare to kill me. Prepare to break out of the encirclement. Your Dharma artifacts are not bad. Listen to my command."

Chang Sunji ordered.

"I only listen to the young master, not you."

Big Smart snorted.

"Didn't he ask you to come and protect me? If you follow Young Master Zhangsun now, I can live!"

Song Jia said harshly, "If he really has the ability, he can naturally live. If he doesn't, waiting for him now is harming the others."

Big Smart hesitated for a moment and said, "Ok, but I'll only follow Old Master."

"I originally wanted to throw this useless old man out to feed the hundreds of ghosts if I encounter danger. Now, because of you, I'll throw the little sister away instead."

Chang Sunji grinned ruthlessly.

Song Jia's face instantly turned pale. She subconsciously grabbed her sister's hand, but she did not dare to say anything.

Song Bei was so scared that she started to vry. Song Jia covered her mouth, "Bei Bei, don't be afraid. If I really have to sacrifice you, Second Sister will make sure you have a quick death."

Big Smart was shocked by her words and couldn't help but look at Song Jia.

At such a moment of life and death, this woman was indeed ruthless.

59 Sword Body Spiritual Conduit Body

Where Song Shi was currently in was a guest room. None of the chairs were intact in this room. The ground was also covered in scratches and it was a mess.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The cat scratched him while the leopard bit him. In the blink of an eye, Song Shi died ten more times. The basic rewards for the two Yin spirits stopped while the accumulated rewards continued.

He lay on the ground and continued to die to see if he could further upgrade his Fire Spirit Root.

!!

Ten more times later.

"Ding… congratulations on being killed by Yin spirits 70 times. You have awakened a top-grade spiritual root!"

Song Shi burst into laughter.

Damn it, it felt so good to raise his Talent by lying down.

Beside him, the two Yin spirits' auras were already very weak.

Every time they killed Song Shi, they would be splattered with blood. There was masculine Yang power in the blood, which was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the black dog's blood. Even if Song Shi did not do anything to them, they would not be able to withstand it for long.

"Meow, meow."

The black cat meowed softly. It did not have much intelligence but could instinctively felt a sense of unease. It wanted to retreat.

"You want to leave without killing me?"

Song Shi grabbed him. The latter turned around but did not dare to bite him. His previous experiences showed that this person's blood was poisonous to him.

Suddenly, a powerful consciousness descended. Then, a sinister voice said in surprise, "Why isn't he dead yet!"

"Shit!"

Song Shi realized that he was being watched by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's divine sense and stopped courting death without hesitation.

Flames surged in his palm as he slapped the cat demon.

BANG!

Its originally weak body exploded from his slap. Then, he formed a seal and a fireball flew out.

BOOM!

The Leopard Ghost, who was even weaker, was hit by the second fireball and was blown to pieces.

"Kid, I'll remember you. I'll definitely make you the next evil spirit of my Hundred Ghost Gonfalon!"

The evil Demon Daoist's slightly angry voice entered Song Shi's mind, but it could not drown out the system's notification.

He had obtained two more chances to draw the lottery. At this moment, he was considering something. He directly ignored the evil Demon Daoist, making the latter even angrier.

"You have some guts. I'll deal with you after I kill Sikong Ya!"

After saying these cold words, the evil spirit's gaze landed on Sikong Ya and Chen Yiling, who were struggling to hold on.

Sikong Ya held a large silver seal Dharma treasure in his hand. It emitted a light that filled the sky and blocked more than ten evil spirits.

Chen Yiling had already obtained the Mystic Fire Mirror she had exchanged for and released a Fire Mystic Bird to protect her body.

Other than them, Wuchen Zi also took out a Taiji Disc and blocked the attacks of more than ten evil spirits.

If the three of them had not stopped nearly half of the evil spirits which they were doing right now, the others would have died even faster.

However, with the death of their own forces and the huge consumption of energy needed, they could not hold on much longer.

Sweat broke out on Sikong Ya's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "Demon, you're really bold. Do you really think there are no experts in our Demon Slayers Division?"

"Of course I know. Unfortunately, the Foundation Establishment superhumans of your Demon Slayers Division are not in Silken City right now. Come now, obediently transform into a malicious ghost and let my Hundred Ghost Gonfalon advance towards becoming the Thousand Ghost Banner!"

The Demon Daoist grinned maliciously, "It's about time. Die!"

With a wave of the black and red banner in his hand, the evil spirits that had slaughtered many Temporary helpers and Black Iron Guards flew back. Most of them brought the deceased's souls with them. They were wrapped by the black fog and dragged by the evil spirits to be injected into the The Hundred Ghost Gonfalon.

Immediately, the Dharma treasure shone even more brightly and released more black fog, increasing its power.

When Wuchen Zi saw this, he cursed, "Damn it, this guy trapped us with an Array Formation because he wanted to use the souls of cultivators to refine his own Dharma treasures!"

"It's troublesome. Not to mention that our distress signal hasn't been sent out, even if it has been sent out, it's too late for the commander and the others to return from Sky City!"

Sikong Ya sighed, "I didn't expect us to die in our own territory."

"Give me some time. I'll activate the Sky Splitting Sword Technique and see if I can break the Array Formation."

A snow-white sword-shaped pattern appeared between Chen Yiling's eyebrows. She formed a seal with both hands and a soaring sword intent erupted. Immediately, all the swords nearby trembled, as if they were submitting to her.

"What?"

The Demon Daoist's eyes narrowed, fixed on Chen Yiling with a look of avarice. "A Sword Body Spiritual Conduit; now that's a prime choice for my Hundred Ghost Gonfalon's presiding host."

He laughed loudly and mobilized the power of his Dharma treasures towards Chen Yiling, "Go!"

Countless black fog descended with layers of ghostly shadows.

"Block it!"

Sikong Ya shouted and used a secret technique to stimulate his potential. The huge seal in his hand was placed in front of Chen Yiling.

Wuchen Zi also knew that he had to fight for time for Chen Yiling at this moment. Otherwise, everyone would die.

He also used a secret technique to increase the power of his Dharma artifacts and resisted the attacks with Sikong Ya.

The black fog blasted towards the three of them and immediately drowned them. With a rumbling sound, everything disappeared.

While they were fighting, the area where Song Shi was at became quiet.

The ragged Song Shi sensed something was not right and looked into the night.

"What a familiar fluctuation. Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. I have to run!"

...

He took out a set of clothes and changed into them. He hurriedly canceled the spawn point and set it in a hidden corner.

This way, even if he was killed by this Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he would not revive on the spot and attract suspicion.

After doing this, he rushed out and opened the system.

On the lottery wheel, only the Connate Pure Yang Technique and the Foundation Establishment Pill were left.

He thought to himself, "I have three chances to draw the lottery now. There are only two things in the wheel. After drawing one, will getting the rest have a 100% success rate?"

The system replied that that was indeed 100% accurate. Moreover, after drawing the last item, the wheel would refresh again and the level of the item drawn would increase.

His eyes lit up. Leveling up was good. There would definitely be something better for him to draw next time.

"Begin the lottery."

He drew twice in a row and picked everything that was left in the wheel.

"Ding… Congratulations on obtaining the Connate Pure Yang Art!"

"Ding… Congratulations on obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

...

Previously, he had wanted to get the cultivation method that he wanted to use to cultivate the Yang Refining Technique.

"Ding! Lottery item exhausted. Refreshing… Refresh, successful!"

The specialized lottery wheel instantly increased and became a 12 segmented wheel. But half of its reward were still unknown rewards and the other half known, with each segment from both categories intersecting each other.

Storage Ring: Low-grade Dharma treasure. Space of 10 cubic units. Can store a significant amount of resources.

Breeze Sword Control Technique: A top-notch spell. Users can fly on a sword while killing enemies. It will give the sword power to split mountains and rivers.

Yin Yang Reversal Array Disc: Additional Level 3 Comprehensive Array Formation. It can be directly activated to form a simple Array Formation. It has the function of reversing Yin Yang and deceiving the enemy for Defense.

Essence Enhancing Pill: Medium-grade Dharma-grade medicinal pill. Strengthens the foundation and nurtures the essence. It can increase the speed of Foundation Establishment.

Invisibility Talisman: Mid-grade magic-grade talisman. It can turn invisible and is effective against those below the Gold Core realm.

Dragon Subduing Palm: Rank 5 Lesser Divine Ability. Has the power to subdue dragons.

Just as he was about to draw his last lottery chance, the place where the strange aura emitted from just now exploded with a ferocious collision. A terrifying aftershock spread out, making him feel like he was in a storm.

"I am really risking my life right now. The lottery results will be out soon. But this is my last chance to leave."

Song Shi used his True Energy to protect his body and stabilize his body. He increased his speed and released his divine sense to probe the surroundings.

Soon, he sensed Big Smart and stepped out with his Phantom steps, leaving a shadow as he sped away. In an instant, he was already dozens of feet away, passing through the alley to the backyard.

Here, a group of people was attacking a black energy wall. It was the barrier of the Hundred Ghost Life Extinguishing Array Formation.

60 I Have a Little Knowledge on Array Formation

Behind them, there were still a few evil spirits attacking. Big Smart resisted with difficulty and the injured Elder Qin also held a long saber to help.

However, it was obvious that the two of them were powerless.

"Throw this girl out for them to eat. You guys break the array first. The three of us are not enough!"

Chang Sunji shouted. Beside him was Ah Dong, who was not on good terms with him, and the woman who had arranged a room for Song Shi.

The three of them were all late-stage Qi Refinement or Connate cultivators, but when their Dharma artifacts struck the Array Formation barrier, they only created a circle of ripples and could not break the Array Formation.

"No, Beibei is afraid of pain."

Song Bei sobbed in fear.

"Chang Sunji, even if you sacrifice her, it will only delay the ghosts for a few breaths. Do you think a Connate cultivator can break the barrier in that time?"

Ah Dong frowned, "If we don't have the strength to break the array, we might as well kill a few more evil spirits. Then we might be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive."

"Persist my ass. I'm not interested in putting my life to save someone else's."

Chang Sunji cursed, "Hurry up, Song Jia, if you don't do it, I will throw you out!"

Song Jia's expression was ugly as she raised her sword with difficulty.

"Don't be afraid. Second Sister will be very swift. It won't hurt!"

She covered her sister's mouth and wiped her neck.

"Stop!"

A long sword with flames flew out from the darkness. It knocked Song Jia's sword down and stabbed into the ground.

At the same time, a fireball landed in front of the evil spirit and blew up one of them. The remaining few also became much more illusory, reducing the pressure on Big Smart and Old Qin.

Song Shi appeared in the black fog and looked at Song Jia coldly, "You are so heartless that you can even kill your own sister?"

When Song Jia saw Song Shi, her face turned pale. For the first time, she was unable to retort.

"Seventh Brother, Bei Bei is scared."

Song Bei burst into tears.

"Young Master!"

Big Smart was pleasantly surprised that Song Shi appeared safely. He must have killed the two evil spirits!

Swoosh!

A pair of eyes looked over.

"Who's causing trouble?"

Chang Sunji, who was furious, turned around and realized that it was Song Shi. He said in shock, "You're still alive?"

I've died more than 30 times. How can I not be dead?

Song Shi muttered in his heart and stared at the other party coldly, "You want to kill my sister?"

"Hmph, is there a problem with killing a burden?"

"Tsk tsk, I think you're more suitable to feed them. You're strong, so you can be eaten for a while longer." Song Shi walked over with a cold gaze.

"Song Shi, if you dare to attack me, everyone here will die!" Chang Sunji laughed sinisterly.

Song Shi frowned. He looked at his father and Bei Bei, who was crying in fear, and stopped in his tracks.

It was important to escape now. He would kill this person sooner or later.

Hiding his killing intent, he said calmly, "If you want to get out, follow my method."

Although he was only at the Beginner level of array formations, he had a little knowledge about breaking array formations. As long as he found the weak point of the Array Formation, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Chang Sunji led his men to attack the strongest part of the Array Formation. Not to mention a mere Qi Refinement cultivator, even with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be a waste of energy and effort.

He glanced at the array barrier that was still stable even after being attacked by Chang Sunji and the others. He shook his head. "There's no need to waste your energy. This is a top Level 2 Array Formation. Even a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators won't be able to open it after attacking like you instructed them."

When Chang Sunji heard this, he sized up Song Shi and became more serious. He looked doubtful, "You know about Array Formations?"

Song Shi was slightly surprised. Although this fellow's mouth was foul, he seemed to have good perception. He was also smart. He did not doubt or but also did not believe him at this moment.

"A little."

"If you dare to trick me, you'll definitely die!"

Chang Sunji snorted.

"You can't kill me. On the contrary, you'll be the one dying."

If he did not consider his family's lives, Song Shi really wanted to kill this fellow now.

"Are you fooling me?"

Chang Sunji retracted his Dharma artifacts and said coldly, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Hurry up and tell me where to attack. I'm going crazy from holding on!"

"Underground."

Song Shi pointed at a spot under the Array Formation barrier, "Here!"

"This is f*cking dirt. Are you sure?"

Chang Sunji frowned, showing signs of rage.

"Song Shi, don't joke around now. Be careful not to lose your life."

Song Jia reminded him.

"Won't we know after attacking it once?"

...

Song Shi walked over and pulled out his Gentleman Sword. The sword was slender and exquisite, like a work of art.

He injected the Nine Yang True Energy into it. The slender sword shone and immediately turned red.

He threw the sword out and stabbed it into the node of the array formation he found.

After the hole was pierced, circles of waves appeared near the original soil.

Ah Dong could not help but take another look at Song Shi.

Didn't he only have a little knowledge?

Even a specialized array master would not be able to find the key point so easily, not to mention a self-proclaimed beginner?

"This is a node of the Array Formation. Hurry up and break it. A gap will appear in the Array Formation."

Song Shi said calmly.

At this moment, he was a little puzzled. How could such a large-scale Array Formation be set up under the nose of the Demon Slayers Division?

Could there be a traitor in their midst?

...

Or was the person who set up the Array Formation outside of the formation?

If that was the case, there would definitely be someone guarding the array outside after breaking through this place.

Chang Sunji was skeptical. He activated the furnace Dharma artifacts and struck the spot where the Gentleman Sword was inserted.

Immediately, the energy waves on the Array Formation barrier surged violently, clearly distorting.

Previously, the three of them had to attack together to have such an Effect. But now it has become effective to even do it alone!

"Every dog has its day and I suppose today is your day!"

Chang Sunji snorted and stared at the other two unhappily, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack. Are you waiting for death here?"

"Look over there!"

Ah Dong looked at the front yard in a daze. A pure white sword light cut through the darkness. It was gorgeous and beautiful as it quickly stabbed into the Void.

Zheng!

The sound of sword chimes resounded throughout the world. Sharp sword reverberated, and the sharp sword Qi seemed to want to break through the nine heavens.

"It's Miss Yiling. She activated her Sword Body Spiritual Conduit. Perhaps we don't have to break the array anymore!"

Liang Juan was pleasantly surprised.

"Sword Body Spiritual Conduit."

Song Shi looked thoughtfully at the brilliant sword beams constantly breaking through the fog and exclaimed.

He had read about this Physique in books. It was a very powerful Connate Physique and was very suitable for cultivating the Sword Dao. It was also the kind of physique that was suited to cultivate both Immortal and Martial Arts.

No wonder he had a strange feeling just now. Perhaps this Physique carried a mysterious aura.

"No matter how impressive she is, it's impossible for a Qi Refinement realm cultivator to break through such an Array Formation. Not to mention that this old ghost has Dharma treasures."

Chang Sunji pursed his lips, as if he was rather jealous of Chen Yiling. He did not seem to have much hope.

"If Miss Chen can't break it, it will be even harder for us to break it!"

Ah Dong glanced at Chang Sunji, "You only know how to criticize."

"Is it the Fairy Lady? She's going to save us again."

Song Wan, whose presence was very weak, had an expectant look on his face. On that night, it was the Fairy Lady who saved their lives. Today, it was again the Fairy Lady who stood up in a crisis.

"So it's her."

Song Shi was deep in thought as he looked at the Array Formation barrier with bright eyes.

Clang!

The sword light in the front yard exploded with power causing the entire Array Formation to shake. Cracks appeared on the black pot-like barrier, revealing the starry sky outside.

At this moment, a huge black and red banner caught up with the sword light and swallowed it.

Rumble!

The world darkened again and the starry sky disappeared. The hope in everyone's hearts was instantly destroyed.

"Puchi!"

Chen Yiling, who was on the ground, spat out blood. Her face was pale and there was a bloodstain between her brows. Her body swayed and it seemed like she could fall at any moment.

"I tried my best!"

Chen Yiling replied weakly. She reached out to take the healing pills and realized that she had already finished them.

"This old ghost came prepared. Let's go find Chang Sunji. He still has healing pills!"

Sikong Ya tried his best to protect Chen Yiling and retreated to the backyard with Wuchen Zi.

"I told you I couldn't break it. Damn it!"

Chang Sunji cursed and spat. "We still have to rely on ourselves."

"The Array Formation has been shaken and its power has been depleted. If we attack now, the chances of success are higher!"

Song Shi's expression was calm as he pulled out the Gentleman Sword. True Energy surged into it and he stabbed it down ruthlessly.

Crack!

As if something was broken, the Array Formation barrier beside him distorted violently, and one could vaguely see the scene outside.

"You're actually right. Hurry up, let's do it!"

Ah Dong hurriedly waved his spear-like Dharma artifacts and stabbed at the node of the array formation.

The four of them attacked at the same time. The Array Formation barrier nearby twisted like waves and became weaker and weaker.

Song Shi's eyes lit up. With the help of his Array Formation knowledge, he was about to achieve the Achievement of breaking an array for the first time.

[
