What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

"Yes, Father!"

Lu Bingxuan's eldest son, Lu Ke, stared at the Blood Dragon fervently. If he could accept this Numinous artifacts, he had a high chance of obtaining them.

At that time, as long as he transformed into a Nascent Soul, with the help of this treasure, he would be considered a powerhouse in the cultivation world!

He laughed out loud. "Elders, it has just transcended its tribulation and is currently weak. Follow me to quickly suppress this demon!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the few of them arrived in front of the blood-colored dragon and took out their Dharma treasures to attack.

The Array Formation talisman Song Shi had set up had already been destroyed by the heavenly tribulation. Without the blood-colored dragon's protection, he could only rely on himself to counterattack.

The blood-colored dragon, which had just transformed into a dragon, hovered on the ground. Its remaining spirituality sensed danger and roared angrily, staring at Lu Ke and the others with a brutal and bloodthirsty intent.

Although its grade was very high and it was a weapon that could only unleash its full power at the Soul Transformation realm, it was still a weapon after all. Its combat strength was not strong enough and it could at most fight a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, Lu Ke and the others were all above the Golden Core realm, especially Lu Ke, who was a genius of the Sky Demon Cult's younger generation. His true combat strength was comparable to a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. The outcome of the battle would not be beneficial to him.

"He who understands the times is a wise man. You'd better submit obediently and not force us to damage your spirituality."

Lu Ke had a handsome face and his white clothes fluttered in the wind. Cold Nomological power circled nearby, making him look like a weakened version of Lu Bingxuan.

When Song Shi saw his Numinous artifacts being attacked, he knew that this singular weapon would definitely not be able to defeat these guys.

"You're still in the mood to care about this Numinous artifact? What a joke. I think you're about to spend all your Nomological power just by using this Spear Numinous artifact. You're still greedy for a second one?"

Lu Bingxuan's expression was mocking, "Soon, you will die under your own greed."

He increased his Nomological power and used the snake scales as a Shield to smash down fiercely, knocking Song Shi back with a clang.

Song Shi stepped into the Void and quickly stabilized himself. He smiled mockingly, "One Golden Core's Dharmic powers are indeed insufficient."

After using the golden Spear to attack a few times, it was indeed a Numinous artifact. The consumption was more than ten times that of Dharma treasures. Ordinary Golden Cores would indeed not be able to withstand it.

The problem was that he was not an ordinary Golden Core.

"It's good that you know. If you surrender now, I'll give you a quick death!"

Lu Bingxuan probed. As he did not see any panic on the other party's face, he did not let his guard down.

"Don't be anxious. Since one Golden Core isn't enough. I'll use a few more."

BOOM!

The air exploded. Song Shi's Golden Dragon Spear's Aura surged, and more than half of the power of ice was shattered by the spear.

Amidst the distorted energy, Lu Bingxuan's Dharmic powers were constantly broken through. The layers of ice became like paper paste. He was shocked, "You actually cultivated multiple Golden Cores!"

It was not that there were no Golden Core cultivation methods, but basically no one would cultivate them.

After all, the goal of a Golden Core cultivator was to break through this realm. Cultivation resources were tight, and cultivators had limited energy and lifespan. Many people found it difficult to cultivate even one Golden Core, let alone take the risk to cultivate more.

Didn't this fellow just break through not long ago? Not only did he have powerful Nomological powers and control Numinous artifacts, he even cultivated many Golden Cores!

Instantly, Song Shi unleashed more than half of the power of his Numinous artifacts. Coupled with his powerful body, he repelled Lu Ke, who had an advantage in cultivation.

The intense aftershock spread out, affecting Lu Ke and the others. As they resisted, they looked over in shock.

"Dad!"

"The Deputy Sect Master, who was halfway into the Soul Transformation realm, was actually forced back by a Golden Core?"

"How did he do it?"

The people of Sky Demon Cult were dumbfounded. In their eyes, Lu Bingxuan's strength was second only to the mysterious cult master and a few others. To be able to repel him, he should be an existence of the same level.

But this was a Golden Core cultivator, who was the same realm as them!

BOOM!

A deep hole was created in the ground by the power of the golden Spear. Lu Bingxuan landed beside him in a sorry state.

He stared intently at Song Shi, who was burning with six suns and golden flames, "No wonder he dared to fight me head-on with Numinous artifacts. So he has such a deep foundation!"

This person was already rather powerful with just one Golden Core. After unleashing six, with the help of the power of Numinous artifacts, he was indeed stronger than ordinary Nascent Souls.

He was not prepared just now, so he was repelled by a single strike.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to hold back.

Lu Bingxuan released all the Nomological power in his body, and his strength soared.

Opposite him, Song Shi's fire had an imposing aura. The Nomological power in his body surged continuously, and his Spear emitted a dazzling light, making him look like the God of War.

He looked at Lu Bingxuan, whose aura had increased with his outburst, and muttered in his heart, This guy was also hiding just now and didn't use his full strength. Looks like it's very difficult to defeat him since he unleashed all his strength.

Currently, he was stronger than six people at the same level. It was not a problem for him to be comparable to an intermediate or late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time.

The problem was that this guy's strength was still too high. He was above the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

"Let's exhaust him first before killing!"

Song Shi could only use this stupid method, just like forcing the old woman to use her ultimate move in order to deal with this guy who had a higher cultivation level.

"What kind of look is that? You actually want to kill me?"

Lu Bingxuan frowned when he saw Song Shi's gaze. He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

He thought for a moment and did not hold back anymore. His hair suddenly turned snow-white, and his muscles and bones emitted a brilliant white light. The Nomological power in his body was like an iceberg.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, you should have some kind of powerful Spirit Body. Do you think I don't?"

Lu Bingxuan gripped the Mystic Ice Spikes. The white light on his body fused with the Numinous artifacts. With a loud bang, his Aura reached its peak.

"Have a taste of the power of the Mystic Ice Spirit Body!"

Space twisted and Lu Bingxuan instantly appeared in front of Song Shi. The icicle in his hand bit out like a venomous snake.

Song Shi brandished his Spear and attacked. With a crisp clang, a huge force surged over, causing his wrist to go numb.

He realized that Lu Bingxuan seemed to have ice-like skin and jade-like bones. Mysterious and cold runes flowed all over his body. His expression changed, "This fellow also has a high-grade Spirit Body!"

"I have a high-grade Great Mastery Spirit Body, but I can only say that it's rare. It's not normal for a Golden Core like you to have it. I'll bring you back to dig out your secret."

Lu Bingxuan, who was leaning against Song Shi, smiled sinisterly. He was certain that this Blood-Robed old ghost had a huge secret. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to have such a foundation.

After all, he was also a prodigy and was at the top of his peers. He had an advantage too.

BOOM!

Song Shi was sent flying. At this moment, Lu Bingxuan was serious. A portion of the power of heaven and earth was mobilized and suppressed Song Shi.

The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower. Song Shi's strength was constantly being devoured, and his movement speed was slowing down.

Song Shi sighed, "This guy is actually so much stronger than Hong Luo."

He could smash Hong Luo's body with a single slap, but he could not do so against Lu Bingxuan.

Under the enhancement of the Dharmic powers of a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator, Song Shi fell into the snow. In the end, because his movements were slow, he was killed by Lu Bingxuan.

Looking at the Blood-Robed old ghost that was pierced and frozen, Lu Bingxuan shattered it with a palm and waited with narrowed eyes.

In the distance, the besieged blood-colored dragon was also at a disadvantage. Its angry roars could not change the disadvantaged situation.

Suddenly, with a tragic cry, Song Shi appeared out of nowhere and pierced through a Golden Core elder with his spear. At the same time, he raised his hand and grabbed at the blood-colored dragon.

The latter wailed as blood-colored runes circulated. It was unwilling to be put away. Its body quickly shrunk and circled around Song Shi, turning into a special Dharma treasure that was both offensive and defensive.

Seeing that Song Shi was unharmed and his aura was at its peak, Lu Bingxuan's pupils constricted. When he thought of Hong Luo's death, he actually felt uneasy.

This guy still managed to evade his killing move. He made a prompt decision, "Retreat!"

Song Shi was stunned. "We're not fighting anymore?"

222 You Hit the Jackpot, Archer

"Blood-Robed old ghost, one day, I find out about your everything"

Lu Bingxuan took a deep breath and suppressed his killing intent.

Before knowing the exact situation of the other party, he did not have the confidence to kill this person. Naturally, there was no need to waste his energy and give this old ghost a chance.

"Don't. And your words are too little misleading."

Song Shi rejected him. What nonsense was that? Why did his words feel a little ambiguous?

Lu Bingxuan met up with the others in a flash and sneered mercilessly. "Haha, you killed my son and now you've even killed a Guardian of my Sky Demon Cult. Even if I don't make a move, you would definitely die by some way or another."

"Really?"

Song Shi was in a good mood. It was great that he had provoked the entire Sky Demon Cult.

"Father, is there something wrong with this old ghost's brain?"

Lu Ke found it a little strange. He knew very well how powerful and terrifying their Sky Demon Cult was.

This fellow was actually not afraid of an existence that could shake the foundations of the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if the other party was an elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he should not be like this, right?

"A little. In the past, the Blood-Robed old ghost who killed people like flies and committed all kinds of evil deeds was considered normal. Now… because he have been possessed repeatedly, his Spirit has been messed up."

Lu Bingxuan guessed.

The other elders and disciples were enlightened and revealed looks of pity.

"What a pity. This old ghost was also an important figure back then. Now, he has become a lunatic."

"Looks like you won't become a demon unless you're crazy."

"It's best not to provoke such a person. If you provoke him, you have to kill him."

Hearing their strange discussion, Song Shi's face darkened and he scolded back, "You guys are the ones who are mentally ill. I think the entire Sky Demon Cult is mentally ill."

He just wanted to farm the rewards. How was he mentally ill?

"Let's go. Don't waste your breath on a lunatic!"

Lu Bingxuan waved his hand and gave up on fighting Song Shi.

Song Shi patted the Blood Dragon at his waist. After obtaining his Nomological power, this new Numinous artifact's aura surged like a rainbow. It raised its head and let out a long cry, transforming into a Blood Dragon that was ten thousand feet long. It shook its head and wagged its tail as it charged towards the Heavenly Devil Cult members.

The blood light emitted by the long dragon covered the sky and earth. Even plants withered instantly when they were shone on. Their vitality was taken away, and its power was even more terrifying than before when it had only turned into human flesh.

At the same time, the power of the Golden Spear in his hand formed a Fire Golden Dragon. The scorching power distorted the air and the withered plants turned into ashes.

The Blood Dragon devoured Life, while the Fire Dragon burned the Heavens and destroyed the Earth. One was strange and demonic, and the other was huge and domineering. Under the combination, it was as if two dragons had come out of their caves. It was unstoppable, causing the expressions of everyone in the Sky Demon Cult to change.

"This fellow actually activated two Numinous artifacts!"

Facing the two dragons that shook the world, Lu Bingxuan's face twitched.

His Spirit Snake Scales were not considered complete Numinous artifacts. Even so, coupled with the Mystic Ice Spikes, he had expended a lot of his Nomological power.

Facing the pursuit of the two dragons, he had no choice but to attack.

He formed seals with one hand and an ear-piercing hiss resounded. As he activated his Numinous artifact with all his might, the Mystic Ice Spikes transformed into an ice snake that faced the Blood Dragon that contained the blood light that filled the sky.

As soon as the sky-blue ice power came into contact with the blood-colored light, it contained an extremely terrifying ice power, causing the extremely corrosive blood light to stop spreading.

The golden fire dragon with scorching flames struck the snake scales. As the flames danced, the Dharmic powers of the surrounding people boiled and evaporated.

"Hmph!"

Lu Bingxuan's eyes lit up. With a thought, he forcefully mobilized the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

What surprised Song Shi the most was that this guy had snatched all the spiritual qi he could mobilize. It was not that he could not mobilize it, but that he could not beat the other party from snatching it.

This way, Lu Bingxuan's Dharma treasures and spells could use the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to recover and strengthen, but his could not.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, this is the true difference between you and me. In front of me, you can't use much Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth."

Lu Bingxuan had a proud expression. His Nascent Soul was close to the Soul Transformation realm, and it could affect the power of heaven and earth. It was not something the other party could compare to.

Lu Ke and the others heaved a sigh of relief. When the two dragons flew over just now, they really felt terrified.

"It's indeed impressive."

Song Shi nodded and patted a yellow bag at his waist.

In the next second, a devouring power was suddenly released from the bag. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge hole and landed on the snake scales, beginning to devour this special Dharma treasure.

Snake Scale trembled on the spot as it flew towards the Heaven and Earth Pouch. Lu Bingxuan's expression changed as he hurriedly slapped the Heaven and Earth Pouch, wanting to stop it.

However, a large hand that emitted golden light and held a golden dragon spear also slapped over at this moment, meeting his palm head-on.

BANG!

With a muffled sound, space distorted for a moment. Song Shi retreated in the opposite direction. At the same time, he grabbed the snake scale with his other hand and threw it at the Heaven and Earth Pouch.

The closer he got, the more uncontrollable the snake scales became and the light quickly dimmed.

"Don't you dare!"

Lu Bingxuan shouted. However, he also took half a step back when they collided. He did not have time to stop them.

"Father, let me help you!"

Lu Ke and the others did not stand there foolishly. They hurriedly activated their Dharma treasures and attacked Song Shi's vital points.

In the end, Song Shi could not dodge at all. He did not give up on the snake scales despite being attacked head-on by a few Golden Core cultivators. As he stuffed this thing into his Heaven and Earth Pouch, he was also hit in his vital points.

With a few cracking sounds, flying swords, spears, arrows and other Dharma treasures stabbed into Song Shi's vital points, giving him a fatal blow. One arrow, in particular, pierced through his eyes.

Before he died, he put away his Heaven and Earth Pouch and glanced at the guy who was shooting arrows.

This was the first time he had been shot to death by an arrow. The destructive power of such a Dharma treasure was even more powerful than needle-type Dharma treasures.

The person Song Shi was staring at was a burly middle-aged man. His body trembled as he instinctively sensed danger.

However, when he saw the light in Song Shi's eyes dim and his body begin to fall uncontrollably, he frowned and hesitated.

This fellow should be dead. Was there a need to be afraid? Could he still be alive like before?

"Father, did we manage to kill him?"

Lu Ke was a little excited to see Song Shi die from a fatal injury.

"It's not that simple. Let's freeze this old ghost first!"

Just as Lu Bingxuan was about to activate the Mystic Ice Spikes to freeze Song Shi, the latter disappeared in the fall and silently appeared beside the elder that shot him.

"Interesting archer. You've hit the jackpot."

Song Shi grinned at the archery elder. In the midst of the attacks from the few people just now, this person had dealt the fatal blow and was the target of his lottery draw.

"Deputy Sect Master Bing Xuan, save me!"

Being targeted by Song Shi, the elder who controlled a pair of bow and arrow Dharma treasure felt his hair stand on end. As he used his longbow to hit Song Shi, he plead for help.

However, the two of them were too close, especially when Song Shi appeared behind him.

He simply used his physical strength and with a puff, the person's protective Dharma treasures were shattered by a palm strike. The other party's longbow hit Song Shi, but it did not even break through the protective golden light. As for him, he was blasted apart.

Song Shi had no regrets in killing this person.

One was that the reward for a Golden Core to kill him was limited and there were many people from the Sky Demon Cult. There was also Lu Bingxuan, who was stronger than him. If he did not kill him decisively, he would not have much of a chance.

"You've gone too far!"

Lu Bingxuan's Mystic Ice Spikes quickly landed. He did not kill Song Shi, but wanted to freeze him.

Song Shi's Ragnarok was still on cooldown. Sensing the other party's thoughts, he did not want to be trapped. He raised his Spear and knocked back the Mystic Ice Spikes, only accepting the fatal attack.

"Lu Bingxuan, what's wrong with you guys? You can't even deal with one person?"

At this moment, an impatient voice suddenly rang out. Another Sky Demon Cult powerhouse had arrived.

223 Everything Has a Spirit. Cutting Paper to Become a Soldier

"What bad luck."

Song Shi cursed in his heart. It was already very difficult for one person to kill these guys. If there were Nascent Soul cultivators, he basically had no chance. They could take turns to recover their Nomological powers.

If he continued fighting for too long, his secret might be exposed.

"Qing Yan, even Hong Luo is dead. Do you really think we're here to deal with an ordinary person?"

Lu Bingxuan was not too angry. His words fully revealed Song Shi's threat.

"What!"

A green flame figure in the distance exclaimed, "Hong Luo's life-saving means can be said to be number one among our four Guardians. Are you joking?"

"You'll know when you get here."

Lu Bingxuan couldn't be bothered to explain. When this guy fought with the Blood-Robed old ghost, he would understand his difficulties.

"Then I'm a little interested."

His green eyes landed on Song Shi, and his gaze seemed to have warmth.

"He just killed an elder under your command."

Lu Bingxuan added. He wanted to provoke Qing Yan to attack the Blood-Robed old ghost. He was secretly looking for opportunities to expose Song Shi's flaws.

He had to kill this Blood-Robed old ghost!

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Song Shi realized that he would be trapped if he continued fighting, and Ragnarok had yet to complete Cooldown. It would be easier for him to be sealed in the Ghost Pit Array like before. He immediately turned around and left.

"Flowing Fire Spirit Arrow!"

Qing Yan shouted in a low voice. Song Shi sensed a beam of light flying towards him.

The speed of this light was unbelievably fast. Although it could not compare to the speed of light, it was actually difficult for him to dodge.

"Another arrow?"

Song Shi was shocked. His heart heated up and before he could feel any pain, his heart was pierced through. The scorching green flames melted a huge hole in his chest.

He turned around with great difficulty. A tall and slender middle-aged man with his hair tied up and holding a longbow appeared in front of him.

"Good shot!"

Qing Yan did not see the fear he had expected. He looked surprised. "There's really a problem with him. How can he be so calm?"

"The two of you, I'll come and kill you in the future. Clean up first and wait."

Song Shi grinned and his figure disappeared into thin air.

This time, he did not appear beside anyone else.

Lu Ke and the others, who were already on guard, were nervous for a moment. In the end, they did not see the Blood-Robed old ghost launch a sneak attack. They looked at each other.

"Where is he?"

"Could he have escaped?"

"That's way too amazing. How can he escape in front of two Nascent Souls?"

Qing Yan looked at Lu Bingxuan. "What exactly happened? How could he escape our perception in an instant?"

"I didn't see through it either."

Lu Bingxuan sighed. "Before you attacked his vital points, I had already tried a few times. Every time, it seemed like I could kill him. In the end, I didn't know if I hit his clone or if he really wouldn't die…"

"There's such a strange person…"

Qing Yan was stunned and looked curious. "If there's a chance, I have to capture him and study him carefully."

"The problem is, he's not easy to catch."

Lu Bingxuan's head hurt. He could not help but think of the mysterious golden light emitted from the Blood-Robed old ghost's body. There was a hint of greed in his eyes.

He yearned for that power.

In Silken City, in an ancient well in the backyard of the Song residence, it was already autumn and winter. The well water had dried up, and only the bottom still had water.

Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air in the middle of the ancient well.

"Back home again!"

Song Shi muttered. In order to escape the pursuit of the two Nascent Souls, he simply chose an alternative resurrection point.

He patted his waist and took out a silver-white snake scale the size of a millstone.

This thing did not have any spirituality, but its material was exceptionally hard. It was not damaged at all even after colliding with the golden Spear several times.

"It's a Numinous artifact-level material. If I find some materials of the same level and refine them a few times, there's a high chance of them becoming Numinous artifacts. Unfortunately, it's a Defense Dharma treasure. What's the use of it for me?"

Song Shi shook his head with a look of disdain.

" I will sell it for money!"

He humphed. Although he had failed to kill Lu Bingxuan this time, he had obtained a Numinous artifacts material from him. His gains were not small.

The most important thing was he finally killed the old woman, his enemy!

Ads by Pubfuture

At the thought of this, the spoils of war he obtained from killing the old woman appeared in his hand.

It was an emerald green ancient hairpin engraved with delicate patterns. It looked like a phoenix and should not have been refined by Hong Luo.

What was left was a storage ring. Song Shi used his thoughts to break through the Taboo Powers and took out a pile of special red paper. A portion of the red paper had already been cut, but it was incomplete.

A pair of scissors at the level of Dharma treasures and a few carving knives should have been used to cut the paper effigies. A few special talisman pens and a few jars of spiritual liquid should be the tools to make paper effigies.

When Song Shi saw this, he took out a few Jade Slips and a tattered manual from among the miscellaneous items. On the manual were the words "Paper Encyclopedia". After flipping it open, it was indeed a variety of paper effigy manufacturing methods.

He had mastered some of the Dao of talismans, so it was not difficult for him to look at this thing. He realized that paper effigies were similar to talismans.

The difference was that the runes contained in the paper effigies were more complicated. They were a little like Dharma treasures that could fuse with thoughts and even souls. They were also rather similar to puppets, but they did not have the firm bodies of puppets.

The advantage of this thing was that the Cost of making it was far lower than Dharma treasures and puppets. It was slightly higher than talismans and could carry multiple runes.

"Interesting. The person who founded this path must be a craftsman."

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. Ordinary people would not be able to think of turning paper effigies, a combination of folk art and talismans, into a special weapon.

He continued to read and saw this sentence.

Everything had a spirit, and paper can be cut to form a weapon.

"What a bold saying. Is he saying that it's as good as creating soldiers from beans?"

Song Shi smiled. Then, he found the way that the old woman had used to dodge his attacks with a paper effigy just now.

it was called Shifting Position!

It was not a paper clone, but a rune similar to a Teleportation Talisman was engraved on the paper effigy, achieving the effect of turning the paper effigy into a substitute.

He looked at it for a long time and finished browsing through the relevant content before sorting out the other things.

Hong Luo's paper-cutting inheritance and hairpin Numinous artifacts were the most valuable. The rest were all conventional resources.

There were quite a lot of Spiritual Stones, about one hundred thousand Spiritual Stones, several bottles of pills, and the rest were just random ingredients, such as mirrors, shoes, clothes, makeup, identity tokens, and so on.

He found a bottle of Beauty Pills in the pill. Song Shi was enlightened. "No wonder the old woman looks so tender. This pill can lock one's youthful appearance."

Song Shi opened it. There were actually a few more inside. He poured them out and ate one. A special medicinal effect fused into his flesh, seemingly freezing it.

Song Shi touched his face and felt that nothing had changed. He continued to fiddle around and found a few exquisite clothes at the level of Dharma artifacts. There was even a long dress for Dharma treasures.

"Women are so particular."

After Song Shi finished organizing his things, he patted his Heaven and Earth Pouch and stepped out of the ancient well.

The dilapidated scenery that he had expected did not appear. The manor he saw this time had actually been tidied up by someone. There were no spiderwebs that filled the sky, the dust that was everywhere was cleaned up, and the weeds were all cleared.

"Eh, is there someone living here again?"

Song Shi landed on the limestone floor curiously. With a sweep of his mind, he realized that the entire manor had been refurbished. There were living people walking and cleaning inside.

He frowned slightly. "Won't the new owners find it unlucky to stay here?"

224 Iron Hand Song

A servant walked in with a wooden bucket. When he saw Song Shi beside the well, he was stunned for a moment before he opened his mouth and screamed.

"A ghost?!"

Song Shi's face darkened when he saw this guy turn around and run away in fear. "What ghost?"

It was not easy for him to make a trip back home, but in the end, he had become a ghost in the eyes of others. In his depression, Song Shi slapped him away.

Swoosh!

He instantly caught up to him and stepped on him. He said angrily, "Which eye of yours saw that I'm a ghost?"

The bucket rolled out. The real feeling of being hit made the servant come back to his senses. He was so frightened that his face was scrunched up. He turned to beg for mercy, "Young Hero, please spare me. I'm not knowledgeable enough. Please forgive me."

"Tell me, where are you from? Who is living in the Song Mansion?"

Song Shi questioned.

"Young Hero, this is the residence of the Song family. Elder Song is the master."

The servant answered with a grimace.

Song Shi frowned, "Where is he?"

"Elder Song has gone out. I heard that he's visiting the famous martial artists and cultivators in the city."

The servant said meaningfully, "Young Hero, our Elder Song is a Connate expert."

Song Shi was deep in thought, "What's his name?"

"Song Hai. He is known as Iron Hand Song."

The servant said proudly, thinking that Song Shi was afraid. He continued, "Our Elder is now a famous martial arts master in the city."

"Fourth brother!"

Song Shi was stunned. In their generation, there was only one man who learned martial arts.

The fourth son, Song Hai.

As for the reason, it was indeed because Song Hai's Talent was not bad. He was recognized by Elder Qin and was sent to the Divine Palm Sect to cultivate. It was similar to Song Jia being sent to the Spiritual Sword Sect.

"And you are?"

Upon hearing Song Shi addressing his Elder as Fourth Brother, the servant stole a glance and realized that they did look a little similar.

Song Shi recited his origin.

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Hai was the only one of his generation who had a good relationship with him. The first time he went to a brothel, Song Hai brought him there…

"Young Master of the Song family? Aren't most of the men of the Song family dead?"

The latter was surprised for a moment. He thought of something and felt his blood run cold. He crawled back in fear.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not a ghost."

Song Shi knew at a glance that this fellow had misunderstood him. He walked out angrily and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he turned around, he could not see Song Shi. The servant's face turned pale as he scrambled away.

In order to avoid trouble, Song Shi flew out of the Song residence and landed in an empty alley. He spread out his thoughts and many voices surged over.

"Buy some buns. They just came out of the oven. Don't miss them."

"A bowl of Yang Chun noodles, less spicy please."

There were many sounds of hawking in his ears. Song Shi seemed to be deep in thought. "It seems that the situation is much better here now. Business has recovered a little."

As he walked out of the alley, a lively scene appeared in front of him. There were not many people, but it carried a hint of the mortal world.

"After a year of chaos, the city has finally calmed down a little. I hope these days can last."

"It's difficult. Although Great Qian has recaptured Jinzhou, the price they paid was very high. Now, the control is not as good as before. All kinds of demons and ghosts can walk around the city freely."

"Sigh, commoners like us can't afford to offend them. Just hide. It's better to live than die."

His gaze swept across a restaurant. From some discussions, Song Shi found out that Jinzhou had been conquered by Great Qian and had temporarily settled down.

"Looks like the rebel army has been declining in progress recently…"

Song Shi was actually a little happy. Not only was Jinzhou his hometown, but he also preferred stability.

Even though he was in the demonic sect now, he felt that Great Qian was more suitable for ruling this city than the demonic sects who killed people like flies. After all, many people in Jinzhou had lost their lives because of the demonic sects.

Looking at the scene that resembled the past, Song Shi was in a daze.

His profligate life seemed to have only happened yesterday, but now, he was doing well in the cultivation world.

"I'm no longer a mortal. I should disguise myself a little."

The air around Song Shi distorted for a moment. When he turned a street, he looked like another person.

He used the Thousand Transformations Technique and transformed into a youth. This person he transformed to was still himself, but a him that was only twelve or thirteen years old.

After walking around, Song Shi saw some familiar faces, but he did not recognize most of them. These people were people who had fled from other places and settled down here.

"Let's go watch a fight between experts!"

"Who's fighting?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"I heard that it's Iron Hand Song from the Song Family and the consecrator of the Sun family. One is a young expert, and the other is an old famous person. It will be worth watching!"

Suddenly, the street in front of them became chaotic. A group of people shouted and rushed into the distance. It sounded like they wanted to watch a show.

"How gossipy."

Song Shi's gaze flickered as he walked over.

The person who started the fight seemed to be someone with his fourth brother's nickname. If nothing went wrong, they might be able to meet.

It wasn't easy for him to go home, hence he still had to meet with his loved ones. He shouldn't make a wasted trip.

Song Shi's footsteps were light. He looked carefree, but in fact, his speed was faster than some people running. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of a luxurious mansion.

This mansion looked even more imposing than his Song family's manor. There were two ten-foot-tall lions at the door, looking mighty and domineering.

However, at this moment, the head of one of the lions was shattered, and there was an additional palm print. Its position was also lacking in symmetry with the other lion.

Half of the lion's head fell to the ground, and there were a few footprints beside it. They were deeply embedded in the ground, and many of the stone slabs were shattered.

At the side, two figures were fighting quickly. One had a goatee and his feet were like sharp knives. He kicked out at a dazzling speed and occasionally landed on the limestone floor, smashing it into pieces.

Goatee's opponent was a young man in his twenties. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong physique. His kung fu was all concentrated in his dark palms and it collided with his opponent's sharp feet.

The destructive power of the two of them was not small. The area within a hundred feet was in a mess. When they attacked, wind and waves surged, bringing with them a series of whistling sounds.

When Song Shi saw the young man, he grinned, "This guy has actually reached the Connate realm. He's quite impressive. I remember that he hasn't been home for three years."

He recalled some things from three years ago. At that time, he did not see Song Hai's strength. He only heard that Song Hai would not return for a long time.

Now that he had turned from a mortal to a Golden Core cultivator and that he could even easily kill ordinary Golden Cores. This Song Hai, who was originally stronger than him, suddenly looked like he was fighting an old man in slow motion.

Song Hai's entire body was steaming hot, and his hands were dark red, as if they were filled with flames. He could tell at a glance that this was the Iron Sand Palm, also known as the Divine Sand Palm.

This was a cultivation technique that he had once cultivated. He did not expect Song Hai to use this technique to reach the Connate realm.

"The explosive power of the Iron Sand Palm is strong, but his foundation is still a little lacking. If he continue fighting, he will suffer more losses than wins."

Song Shi muttered. Indeed, not long after, Song Hai began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Looks like Iron Hand Song can't defeat this expert of the older generation."

"An arm can't win against a thigh. Not to mention a hand, I think the Iron Sand Palm can't win against the Saber Leg."

"What do you know? It's obvious that he's not skilled enough. That is the real reason!"

The onlookers who were hiding outside the aftershock pointed and pointed, making people think that they were the real experts.

When Song Hai heard the discussion, he became anxious and his movements became more and more unstable.

At the door, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe sneered. "Song Hai, you still want to take something of ours? You're not good enough."

225 Don't Talk Nonsense If You Can Make a Move

Goatee's nickname was similar to Song Hai's. His name was Iron Leg Li. His leg technique was like a knife, and his destructive power was astonishing.

Now that he was wearing iron shoes, there was wind under his feet. His entire body was like an arrow that shot out. The instantaneous explosive force raised a wave of air-piercing sounds that were extremely shocking.

With a muffled sound, Song Hai's clothes were kicked apart and he staggered back.

Crack, crack, crack.

The floor was crushed by the retreating foot. Song Hai looked at his bare arm and his face turned red. He looked indignant.

His clothes were shattered, which meant that his protective Connate Genuine Qi had been broken by the other party's kick. His hands were originally his strongest point.

His most powerful palm technique had been broken, the results of the fight was fixed. He was inferior to the other party.

"Give me another year and I'll definitely surpass this old man."

He shouted in his heart.

The goateed man exhaled a white breath and stared coldly at Song Shi, "Little Song, do you still want to fight?"

"I'm no match for you, but in another year, that might not be the case."

Song Hai coldly glanced at the middle-aged man in the embroidered robe at the door.

The latter had a square face and big ears. His cheekbones were obvious. He immediately replied mockingly, "The world is very chaotic now. Whether you can live to a year is a problem. I think you should scram back to your Iron Palm Gang. Don't have keep seeking death here."

A threat!

This was a blatant threat. The meaning behind his words was obvious. If Song Hai continued to pester him, his life would be in danger.

"Song Hai, the family head is right. You're alone and weak. You should know your place. Don't lose your life for nothing."

Goatee stroked his beard in an old-fashioned manner.

Song Hai was not frightened. He shook his numb hands and stared at the middle-aged man in the brocade robe. "Sun Buye, return my Song family's assets and I'll leave!"

"My Sun family has already devoured it and you still want us to spit it out?"

Sun Buye's sinister smile floated out of his mouth. He raised his head and snorted. "Elder Li, since he doesn't know what's good for him, break his hands and throw him away."

"Song Hai, why do you have to give in to your moment of anger?"

Iron Leg Li slowly walked out, "You advanced to the Connate realm at such a young age and have a bright future. Why do you still care about these secular things?"

"Hmph, a year ago, my Song family encountered a tragic disaster. I was in seclusion to break through, so it's understandable that I didn't know the situation and didn't come back. Now that I'm capable, how can I still hide in the dark and let you snatch my Song family's assets at will?"

"Then I can only ruthlessly cripple a genius like you!"

A cold light flashed in Li Tiejiu's eyes. He strode forward and slashed down with his palm. Then, his left foot cut Song Hai's thigh like a knife and began to specialize in attacking. The lethality was even more terrifying.

Song Hai's iron palm, which he was good at, was suddenly overstretched. Soon, his thigh was grazed, and blood immediately flowed out. He became limping.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. It was as if he was facing a storm and could be torn apart at any moment.

"Hehe, an arm can't win against a thigh. Didn't your master tell you that palm techniques can't win against leg techniques?"

Li Tiexu sneered and used words to break down Song Hai's confidence.

These words were indeed effective. He, who lacked enough experience was tricked by the sly old fox, and his defense showed flaws again.

Swoosh!

BANG!

Song Hai spat out blood and flew out. He was kicked one hundred feet away, shattering his bones and tendons of a few people watching the show. The crowd retreated like a swarm of bees.

"It's not like you have a system like me. Why are you trying to be strong?"

When Song Shi, who had just arrived, saw his fourth brother's miserable state, he muttered in his heart and shook his head helplessly.

He formed a seal with one hand, and his physique and appearance changed again. In an instant, he became twenty to thirty years older than usual.

The people nearby were dodging in a panic. Coupled with the interference of his Nomological power, they were not qualified to notice at all. Even the Connate experts of the Sun family were not qualified.

The latter took advantage of the situation and jumped up from the ground, stomping down on Song Hai.

Song Hai dodged in a panic. His feet, which were wearing special shoes, stepped on the floor and burst like bubbles.

This kick was just the beginning. Song Hai was chased until he rolled on the ground in an especially sorry state.

"Hahaha! Are you Song family dogs? Do you like to roll on the ground so much?"

Sun Buye laughed loudly.

PIAK

With a crisp sound, Sun Buye's laughter came to an abrupt end. A palm print appeared on his face, and blood gushed out from his mouth.

"Who?"

His expression was gloomy as he hurriedly looked around. In the end, there were no outsiders around him at all. Even his own people were a distance away from him.

"I am here."

Song Shi walked out nonchalantly. At this moment, he had become a middle-aged man. He was an older version of himself.

"You want to interfere in my Sun family's matters? You have to think carefully about the consequences!"

Sun Buye threatened.

Piak, piak, piak!

Song Shi slapped Sun Buye eight times in a row, making him dizzy. He sat on the ground, and his face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ads by Pubfuture

"That's my answer. Is it enough?"

"He has a death wish. How dare he act so arrogantly in front of my Sun family? Everyone, let's kill him together!"

The guards behind Sun Buye were enraged. Slapping their head in front of them was equivalent to slapping them.

At this moment, Iron Leg Li did not stop because of Song Shi's appearance. Instead, he increased his attack speed and wanted to quickly take down Song Hai to prevent any accidents from happening.

Song Shi was blocked by the Sun family's guards and who were eyeing him covetously.

He was really not afraid of anything. He said expressionlessly, "Don't block the way."

Clang!

Amidst the sound of the saber being drawn, a cold light flashed as it slashed fiercely at Song Shi.

Song Shi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. A powerful force swept over.

Boom!

The ground shook, and more than ten guards were sent flying. They screamed and fell at the entrance. Many of the weapons in their hands were broken. Some cut themselves, and some were stabbed nearby.

Sun Buye, who had been slapped, changed his expression and quietly retreated. Song Shi flicked his finger in the air.

BANG!

Sun Buye spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out. He crashed into the stone lion, shattering it into pieces.

The stone shattered. Sun Buye, who did not practice martial arts was turned into meat paste on the spot. He was actually killed directly.

"The Sun Family Head is dead!"

"How terrifying. Who is this person? He killed someone without even saying a word."

"This is a ruthless person. Let's hide further away."

The people who were watching the show did not expect that even bystanders would be splashed with blood. They retreated in fear.

This time, Iron Leg Li was no longer in the mood to beat up Song Hai who was down on their luck. He turned his head and stared at Song Shi with a solemn expression. "Your casual strike have such strong power. I've never seen you among the martial arts masters of Silken City."

Song Shi could not be bothered to explain. He walked over quickly step by step, clearly wanting to deal with the other party.

Iron Leg Li's eyes were dark and a green cyclone appeared on his legs. He jumped up and kicked Song Shi's head in the air.

Song Shi grabbed the stone lion from afar and smashed it down.

Iron Leg Li's expression changed. He did not expect this person to be able to grab a stone lion that weighed more than fifty thousand kilograms from afar. He hurriedly changed his move and kicked the stone lion.

Crack!

The lion's head exploded from the kick. Rocks flew everywhere. Iron Leg Li borrowed the force to retreat, wanting to accumulate time to prepare his attack again.

Song Shi pursed his lips and took a step forward. His red palm slapped down. Crack!

"Ah!"

Iron Leg Li was slapped to the ground. He hugged his thigh and screamed. His bones were broken and twisted like broken wood.

226 I'm Your Second Master

"Iron Leg Li's leg is broken!"

"How impressive. Who is he? He broke Master Li's legs with a single slap."

"Expert, this is an expert even more powerful than Iron Leg Li!"

When the onlookers, who were originally afraid, saw that Song Shi had crushed the expert Iron Leg Li, they immediately became excited and started discussing excitedly.

Iron Leg Li was shocked and furious. "You're too much. What right do you have to interfere in our Sun family's matters?"

"Give me back the Song family's assets, or I'll kill you!"

Song Shi raised his hand. Just by circulating a little of the power of the Dragon Elephant Art, he could form an oppressive force.

Iron Leg Li was pressed to the ground by the powerful aura and shouted in panic, "Wanderer Ding, why are you still watching the show?!"

Swoosh!

A flying sword emitting a yellow glow suddenly shot out from behind the door and stabbed at Song Shi's head.

Song Shi raised his hand to stop it.

Roar!

A golden elephant the size of a small building stepped out. With a ferocious and Domineering force, it shattered the flying sword with a bang.

"Pfft."

The Dharma artifact shattered and a short old man at the door suffered a backlash. His face turned pale on the spot and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a shocked expression.

"My Dharma artifact!"

Swoosh!

Song Shi instantly appeared at the side and smashed his elbow down.

The ground shook as the cultivator was beaten into the soil, blood flowing out continuously.

When Iron Leg Li saw this, he dragged his broken lower body and turned to run.

BOOM!

A foot landed and broke his spine. His entire body bent and crumpled as he sank into the ground, dying a tragic death.

The onlookers immediately became silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to discuss further.

"Are you going to return or not?"

Song Shi's qi and blood were like an elephant's. He was spotless as he steadily walked towards the Sun family.

"Return! We'll return your assets. Please don't do anything!"

"Don't kill us!"

The Sun family collapsed. In a flash, the two trump cards of the family were killed. It was too terrifying. They felt that if they hesitated any longer, they would definitely die. They might even be wiped out.

"I'll give you one day to spit out everything you swallowed and compensate for something of the same value. Otherwise, I'll destroy your Sun family."

Song Shi's expression was cold. He had been so ruthless not only because Song Hai's defeat or that the Sun family had embezzled the Song family's assets, but also because he held a grudge against the Sun Family.

Moreover, he was strong enough now. There was no need to be so polite. People who deserved it should be killed. There was no need to beat around the bush.

"Yes, yes, we'll do as you say."

The Sun family's heads kept nodding like they were chickens pecking at rice.

Song Shi looked at Song Hai, who hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Senior!"

To be able to kill two experts so easily, this person must be a martial arts grandmaster above the Connate realm.

Song Shi nodded slightly, "These two dead people's things are yours."

"Ah."

Song Hai did not expect to receive any benefits. He was a little stunned.

"I'll leave the Song family business to you."

Song Shi was about to leave with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of meeting anyone else here.

He had many enemies now. If others found out that he was still helping the Song family, it would easily bring disaster to Song Hai and the others.

"Senior, are you leaving? You've helped me so much. I haven't had the time to thank you properly."

Song Hai wanted to say something but hesitated. He felt that this person was a little familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen him before.

"I'll stay in Silken City for another two days. Also, you don't have to feel burdened. I'm also a member of the Song family and I'm related to you."

Song Shi could tell what Song Hai was thinking and took the initiative to say it.

"Can you tell me how I should address you?"

Song Hai was secretly happy. He didn't expect his family to have such a powerful relative. He actually didn't know about this before.

Song Shi casually made up a relationship and said, "I'm your second uncle."

"Second Uncle."

Song Hai thought for a moment. His father was already in his sixties. There were no other people of the same generation. He had never heard of anyone of a higher generation. This person was probably in his eighties or nineties.

He looked so young. It must be because he had reached the Foundation Establishment realm and his vitality had increased greatly.

He fell into deep thought. In this world, Connate cultivators could live for three hundred years. Foundation Establishment cultivators could live for another three hundred years. Eighty to ninety years old at that stage was equivalent to twenty years old for ordinary people.

"Pack up. Take me to the house for a while."

Song Shi waved his hand and did not say anything else.

"Okay, Second Uncle."

Song Hai replied happily. He turned around and took out Iron Leg Li's storage bag that was buried in the soil. Then, he looked at the special Dharma artifacts on his feet. They were a pair of special boots.

"I'm afraid this guy has feet odour. When he kicked me just now, the stench almost killed me."

Although his face was full of disdain, he still took it off. As expected, the smell of Iron Leg Li's stinky feet spread.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Ugh, it stinks!"

He hurriedly held his breath and turned to dodge as he retched.

Song Shi frowned and raised his hand to release the palm wind to prevent the stench from spreading to him.

"Sigh, an old martial arts master like Iron Leg Li died just like that."

"That's right. It was too fast. I was about to ask my son to learn martial arts from him, but he was beaten into a meat paste."

"This Song Hai's Second Uncle is even more powerful. I wonder if he will accept disciples."

"What's that smell?"

The stench dissipated. The people who were watching the show and discussing at the side vomited one after another. Some even fainted from the smell.

They looked at Song Shi gloomily and ran away one after another, the stench of feet spreading down the whole street.

Song Shi had a strange expression on his face. "This can't be something this guy did on purpose right? Or perhaps if he can't win, he will take off his shoes and give a chemical attack."

Song Hai quickly looted the other dead guy who didn't even have time to say his name. He ran back and said, "Second Uncle, I'm done packing."

"Let's go."

Song Shi turned around and followed Song Hai back to the Song residence. He went straight to his room.

Song Hai was a little surprised. Why would Second Uncle come to his seventh brother's room? Was it a coincidence?

Song Shi walked in and closed the door. Then, he threw out an array disc to isolate the outside.

"Second Uncle, you're so cautious. It's worth learning from you."

Song Hai flattered him imperceptibly.

"What happens next is a secret. You can't reveal it, or you'll die for sure."

Song Shi said coldly. Then, his bones, flesh, and skin changed and quickly returned to their original appearance.

"You…"

Song Hai looked at Song Shi in shock, "You're Seventh Brother?"

A smile appeared on Song Shi's face as he teased, "I'm also your Second Uncle."

"F*ck your Second Uncle, you're taking advantage of me."

Song Hai rushed over and grabbed Song Shi's neck. He said in surprise and joy, "Seventh Brother, you're actually stronger than me. You killed a Connate cultivator and a Qi Refinement cultivator in a few moves. You're so capable. I didn't realize you were so powerful previously."

"It can't be helped. Geniuses can't be judged by common people."

Song Shi smiled proudly and thought to himself, "No matter how powerful a genius is, he can't compare to a cheat."

"You're really a genius. I reckon only those fellows from those large sects can compare to you."

Song Hai agreed. Thinking of the information he had obtained, he asked curiously, "Seventh Brother, didn't you go to the Yao Moon Palace? Why are you back? Could it be that those women were too fierce and you couldn't take it, so you were scared away?"

"How is that possible? It's something else. I'm already in another sect. It's more complicated."

Song Shi did not say much. His Fourth Brother's strength was very powerful to ordinary people, but in the entire cultivation world, he could only be considered a beginner. He had not even come into contact with the matter of him being possessed.

227 Enemies on a Narrow Road

"No matter what, thank you for your help."

Everyone had secrets. Song Hai tactfully did not ask further. He said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I would definitely have suffered a huge loss today. Even if I didn't die, my hands would probably be broken."

"Who asked you to act tough? The Sun family has some connections with the Demonic Cults. They're not simple."

Song Shi reminded, "Even if I kill those two cultivators, you still have to be careful in the future."

"They may have the Demonic Sect's support behind them,but I have the Iron Palm Sect behind me. I won't be afraid."

Song Hai had a strong personality and was unwilling to admit defeat.

"Alright, you will also have a Second Uncle support you in the future."

Song Shi smirked.

"Taking advantage of me again."

Song Hai rolled his eyes but wasn't angry. He said, "But with a fake Second Uncle like you, I really do have an additional backer."

"Just don't reveal my true identity, or you'll attract some of my enemies."

Song Shi reminded.

"I understand. Are you really leaving in two days?"

Song Hai was a little reluctant. "We haven't seen each other for more than three years. I still want to hang out with you for a few days."

"There are some things I have to deal with. I can't stay here for long. Let's do something meaningful these two days while I'm still around."

Song Shi's gaze turned cold. "Since you want to rebuild the Song family and take back everything we used to owe. You have to take them back with interest."

"Today, since you killed two experts from the Sun family, it shouldn't be a problem for you to demand that they pay up with interest."

Song Hai nodded and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, shall we visit New Moon Brothel?"

"Go? You should hurry up and take over the Song Family's matters. Someone is already here."

Song Shi kicked Song Hai, "You'll be busy for the next two days."

"They're here to return our things so quickly? Looks like they've really been frightened."

Song Hai retracted his smile and walked out.

"Elder, someone from the Sun family is here to visit."

"Okay, I understand. Treat my Second Uncle well for me."

Song Hai arranged for servants to go out and receive the visitors.

Not only the Sun family, but the other people who had embezzled the Song family's assets also came to apologize. They didn't want to become enemies with the Song family.

Overnight, all the people who had secretly divided up the Song family's assets returned them.

Song Hai was busy the entire night. When he was done the next day, he hurriedly came to Song Shi's room and said with a smile, "Your methods yesterday were very effective. You recovered more than half of the family assets in a short period of time."

"Most people bully the weak and fear the strong. If we're ruthless, they'll be honest."

Song Shi replied.

"Indeed, but why do I feel that there's a hidden meaning in your words? Are you saying that you're strong and I'm weak?"

As Song Hai spoke, he became agitated.

"You're as mischievous as ever."

Song Shi pursed his lips and chuckled, "But I'm indeed tougher than you."

"I don't believe it. Let's compete at the New Moon Brothel."

Song Hai let out a strange laugh.

"You're trying to trick me into going."

Song Shi snorted, "Since you want to go so badly, I'll reluctantly accompany you."

"Tsk, I think you just want to go."

Song Hai was disdainful.

"Let's go. I haven't gone to listen to their music for almost a year. I miss it a little."

Song Shi could not help but recall the past when he went to the brothel with his fourth brother.

Song Hai walked over and hooked his arm around Song Shi's neck. He winked. "Seventh Brother, are the women in the Yao Moon Palace really like wolves and tigers?"

"They're much more terrifying than wolves or tigers…"

Song Shi could not help but think of Lu Yue. His face twitched. "F*ck, you don't know. There are actually men who turn into women there. I almost lost my 'virginity' to one."

"A man?"

Song Hai's eyes widened. "You're quite lucky with love. It's fine if women likes you, but even men likes you?"

"Bullshit. It was a man who turned into a woman. It's impossible to tell whether he was a man or woman. Fortunately, he turned into an old woman and I firmly refused her."

"Haha, if he was a beautiful young woman, wouldn't you…"

"So we can't be too casual. What if something like this happens?"

"I don't even dare to go now. After all, the New Moon Brothel is an external organization of the Yao Palace. There might be such people in there too."

"Maybe you're already slept with one."

"Impossible!"

The two of them played around for a while. After walking out of the room, Song Shi turned into Second Uncle and walked out with a serious expression. Song Hai let go of him and followed behind with a respectful expression.

"Second Uncle, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Song Hai asked casually and realized that his seventh brother had stopped at the door.

"What happened?"

He sensed that something was wrong.

"It's nothing. Someone just planted an ambush on the ground."

Song Shi walked in front of a stone slab and grabbed at the air. The stone slab flipped open, revealing a yellow talisman.

The patterns on it were fiery red and contained explosive power. It was a kind of explosive talisman.

"We've been ambushed!"

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Hai's expression changed as he looked around warily.

"Stand at the door for a while. I'll go out and scout the way first."

Song Shi waved his hand and strode out, as if he was not afraid of an ambush.

"Go?"

A sinister voice sounded, and a figure appeared on the roof. "You're surrounded by Explosive Talismans. I've also placed many of the Song family's people here. Where are you running to?"

When Song Shi saw this person, his gaze paused on the fox mask for a moment. He felt that the other party's voice was a little familiar.

He frowned, "Did you also set up an Explosive Talisman in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range before?"

The fox mask gave Song Shi a strange look. "How did you know? Could it be that you were affected by it back then?"

"So it's you."

Song Shi's eyes flashed. He thought of the first time he was buried and suffocated to death. His face darkened. "Enemies are really bound to meet on a narrow road. I can even meet an enemy here."

"I've never seen you before. I guess you've been hit by the Explosive Talisman I set up. I wonder how it feels?"

The fox mask deliberately provoked him, wanting to find out Song Shi's background.

"So it's really you. There aren't many people who play this game. I didn't expect to meet you here. Enemies are indeed bound to meet on a narrow road."

Song Shi muttered and repeated his words. Then he raised his hand to punch hard.

Boom!

A terrifying power was released, and a void distorted. With a deafening sound, the latter was instantly shattered.

Song Shi easily got another lucky draw chance.

This person did not even realize that Song Shi was so powerful until he died. He was directly killed from afar.

Song Hai was originally prepared to hide and avoid the explosion, but this enemy who appeared and died so quickly caused him to forget about his plan.

"That's it?"

Song Hai was stunned. "Why do I feel that he was actually quite powerful?"

"He's just another old fox"

Song Shi pursed his lips. With a wave of his hand, stone slabs flew up one after another. There were Explosive Talismans stuck to the bottom of each stone slab. There were even Explosive Talismans in the underground and walls of the Song residence.

With so many Explosive Talismans, they could level the Song Residence to the ground and even threaten Golden Core lifeforms when exploded.

Song Hai felt his scalp go numb.

"Damn it, I was so busy collecting the family assets last night that I didn't even notice that there was an ambush laid out."

Song Hai cursed.

At this moment, a portion of the Explosive Talisman lit up, and destructive power spread.

Song Hai stopped cursing and said in shock, "What's going on? Isn't he dead?"

"It should be a backup plan. For example, if he dies, it will still explode."

Song Shi slapped the ground hard and shook his hand. All the Explosive Talismans that lit up were bounced into the sky. In an instant, they were more than a hundred meters away.

RUMBLE!

A string of fireballs appeared in the air and connected like fireworks.

228 He's Still a Child

The sky was fiery red, and more than half of Silken City was illuminated. For a moment, the ground shook, and the deafening sound frightened children to tears.

Song Hai was not in the mood to appreciate the fire clouds and fireworks. His face was pale as he said, "If this f*cking exploded on the ground, we would all be finished."

"I won't be finished."

Song Shi looked at the fire clouds that filled the sky and sighed, "An explosion does have a different kind of beauty indeed. It looks very satisfying."

"I can't appreciate it. It's better to admire a real beauty's charm and skills."

Song Hai took a deep breath, "I need gentle comfort to relieve the pressure in my heart."

"What are you thinking about? There are still troubles that haven't been resolved."

Song Shi lowered his head and looked at a wall in the distance. "Do you want to come out yourself, or do you want me to beat you into meat paste and bury you there?"

"Senior, please spare me."

A middle-aged man with a head full of cold sweat jumped out, "I'm just passing by. I don't have any ill intentions towards you."

"Passing by? Then I'll kill you casually. Who asked you to walk here?"

Song Shi raised his hand.

Plop!

The lion-haired middle-aged man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "Senior, please spare me. I was invited by Ma Daowei whom you have killed to help. He had secretly accepted the offerings of the Sun family to attack you. I have nothing to do with the Sun family."

"That's nonsense. What did he have to with us? Is there a need for him to provoke us?"

Song Shi sneered. "Which faction are you both from?"

"The Sacred Fire Sect."

The Sacred Fire Sect was a medium-sized sect from the Demonic Cults. They worked for the Sky Demon Cult and liked to use fire-attribute methods. They were most famous for their explosive talismans.

"He has a sect master, right?" Song Shi said meaningfully.

Xie Shen was stunned for a moment before answering, "He took an elder as his master."

"Take me to him."

"That elder is possibly a Foundation Establishment superhuman or a late-stage cultivator. Are you sure you want to find him?"

Xie Shen was stunned.

"Second Uncle, why don't we forget about it? The guys from the Demonic Cults are more ferocious and dangerous."

When Song Hai heard that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was worried that he would attract an even more powerful character.

"Not as powerful as your Second Uncle."

Song Shi chuckled, and his expression became more domineering. "We have to get rid of this matter so that they won't dare to provoke the Song family easily."

"Understood!"

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Hai did not object anymore. He could tell that his seventh brother was really confident, but he did not know where his confidence came from. After all the enemy was at the Extraordinary Foundation Establishment realm.

This was no ordinary person!

Xie Shen led the way fearfully to a bamboo forest outside the city.

The bamboos here were dry and yellow. Most of them were dead bamboos. The entire bamboo forest was dead silent.

"Senior, Master Yan is cultivating here. He's a senior elder of our Sacred Fire Sect. His fire-elemental spells are quite powerful. He can be said to be a Master in the Dao of Talismans."

Xie Shen introduced.

Song Shi looked at this person in surprise. He looked rough, but he was a little meticulous.

"Senior, my name is Xie Shen. I like to be careful when I do things. No matter how you and Elder Yan talk, I don't want to be implicated."

"You can leave. This has nothing to do with you anymore."

Song Shi waved his hand.

"Thank you, Senior."

Xie Shen felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly used the Light Body Technique to slip away.

"You're just going to let him go?"

Song Hai looked in the direction where Xie Shen had left. "Maybe he also informed Master Yan at the same time."

"This kind of person only sides with the strong. He will be useful to you in the future."

Song Shi looked confident, "Wait for me here. I'll come over after I deal with the problem. It won't be long."

With that, Song Shi disappeared.

Song Hai rubbed his eyes, "So fast. Has this kid really reached the Foundation Establishment realm? How ridiculous."

In the bamboo forest.

"Those who trespass shall die!"

There were four words engraved on a small stone. The stone at the mark had melted. It was completely burned down by high temperatures.

"This is the Dead Bamboo Forest?"

Song Shi appeared on the rock. He thought of some things that happened when he first came into contact with the cultivation world. He pursed his lips and flew in leisurely.

He still disguised a portion of his strength and only used the Dragon Elephant Technique to walk towards Master Yan.

Withered bamboo leaves floated down. The air on Song Shi's path distorted, and a fire snake suddenly rose from the fiery red light.

Song Shi's power transformed into a huge fire elephant that barged over, crushing the fire snake.

There was a buzzing sound nearby. The Array Formation Power was alarmed, and wisps of Fire Beams shot towards Song Shi.

Song Shi's body swayed and he actually dodged the attack. With a light tap of his finger, the array formation in front of him distorted violently and shattered with a bang.

"What? You actually broke my Flame Dragon Array in an instant!"

In the array formation that exploded like fireworks, a red-bearded black-robed man rushed out in shock with an ugly expression.

"Its only a few little snakes but you dare to call them dragons?"

Song Shi scoffed. The power on his body transformed into a giant elephant that rushed over without hesitation.

"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble for me?"

Venerable Master Yan frowned. He was forced by Song Shi's Aura and hurriedly retreated to dodge.

A large number of giant bamboo forest elephants stepped on the ground and burst into flames. A hole was blasted into the ground, and the destructive power was shocking.

Master Yan landed one hundred feet away in a sorry state. There were rings of defensive talismans on his body, and some of them had already shattered.

He looked wary and said angrily, "You barged into my territory for no reason. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Your disciple, Ma Daowei, provoked my Song family. I've already killed him. Do you want to avenge him?"

Song Shi's hair fluttered and the golden energy transformed into the low cry of a giant elephant that shook the Void, causing Master Yan's heart to involuntarily constrict.

"Little Ma?"

Master Flame frowned. "He's still a child. How did he provoke you? Was there a need to kill him?"

Song Shi was deep in thought, "So you're going to avenge him?"

"He's very talented. He could have inherited my mantle…"

Before Master Yan could finish speaking, he realized that the elephant's nose was expanding rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a fire dragon.

This was a real dragon. It was more than ten times larger than the fire snakes released by his Array Formation. Most importantly, it contained terrifying power. The pressure it emitted made him feel as if he was pressing down a mountain, and he could not move for a moment.

"You're not a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"

He was shocked. He widened his eyes and watched as the fire dragon instantly arrived in front of him and swallowed him.

Roar…

Amidst the dragon's roar, flames surged. The entire Death Bamboo Forest turned into ashes and was flattened by a single move.

In the boundless sea of fire, Song Shi retracted his strength and said indifferently, "Since he's a child, you should accompany him. Otherwise, how lonely would he be in the afterworld?"

After killing this person, Song Shi collected his spoils of war and went outside in the blink of an eye.

Song Hai was dumbfounded as he looked at the bamboo forest that had turned into a sea of fire. When he saw Song Shi return, he asked, "It's over so quickly?"

"What else? Do you think I will be drinking and chatting with him inside?"

Song Shi shrugged. "Let's go and see if there's anyone to avenge them. If there isn't, we'll be safe."

"What if there is?"

Song Hai was worried. "I'm just afraid that killing the young will offend the old. Killing one will attract a group of people."

"That's easy. We will just kill as many as we can."

Song Shi's expression was cold. "At most, we'll just destroy the entire Sacred Fire Sect."

"Um…"

Song Hai didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only raise his thumb. "You're really a ruthless one. I couldn't tell before."

229 If You Want to Die, Just Do It

On a small mountain more than ten kilometers away from the Dead Bamboo Forest, Xie Shen had just stopped when he turned around and realized that the Dead Bamboo Forest had turned into a sea of fire.

"So fierce!"

He was flabbergasted. He had thought that even if the two sides fought, the Second Uncle of the Song family would not be in a good position. After all, this was Master Yan's territory.

In the end, in just a short while, they had destroyed their nest. Master Yan was probably doomed.

"This poor family actually has such a backer. I can't afford to offend him."

He had a look of fear on his face. He decided to leave Silken City as soon as possible and not get involved in this mess.

Just as he activated his Dharma artifact, Song Shi's figure appeared in front of him with a swoosh. When he saw it clearly, he bowed anxiously. "Senior, what instructions do you have?"

"Does this Master Yan have any friends or family who are willing to avenge him?"

Song Shi asked.

"No, he's an independent cultivator. He stepped onto the path of cultivation halfway in his life. He doesn't have any background and his Talent is limited. He basically has no hope of forming a core in his life. That's why he's obsessed with talismans and used other methods to increase his strength."

Xie Shen shook his head. He knew Master Yan's situation quite well.

"Do you think the Sacred Fire Sect will avenge him?" Song Shi asked the second question.

"This… I think so. After all, he's an elder in the sect. For the sake of their face, they should avenge him. However, Senior is very powerful so I don't think many people are willing to risk their lives."

Xie Shen told the truth. This was human nature. The face of the sect was important, but for everyone, their lives were definitely more important.

"Bring me to the Sacred Fire Sect."

Song Shi decided to make a trip.

Xie Shen was stunned. Was he going to deal with this sect alone?

"Most of the experts in the sect are not around. If Senior really wants to go, I can only give you the location. I don't dare to lead the way. Otherwise, it will be terrible if the sect finds out."

Xie Shen smiled bitterly.

"The experts aren't here?"

Song Shi's gaze flickered.

Xie Shen said something that Song Shi knew of.

"Oh, that's good."

Song Shi pondered and said, "Continue leading the way."

He had to seize such a good opportunity. He would destroy a portion of the sect first and deal with the remaining members at the Langya Immortal Meeting.

He did not bring Song Hai with him anymore and only left with Xie Shen.

After traveling for half a day, they arrived at Li Province, which was in the southwest of Jinzhou.

This place was close to one of the nine great countries. Most of the regions were a fiery red wasteland. There were very few people here, and it was completely different from Jinzhou, which had beautiful mountains and clear waters.

The Sacred Fire Sect was located in the most remote corner of the Li Prefecture. If not for someone leading the way, Song Shi would have spent a lot of time searching for it.

Song Shi sat on the flying boat and looked down at the endless Gobi Desert. The sand on the ground churned, and when he got close, he felt like he was floating on a red sea.

"Strange, why is there such a huge sandstorm near the sect?"

Xie Shen, who was sitting at the side, revealed a surprised expression. At this moment, a few streaks of light suddenly rushed out from the red sand.

A moment later, a few more sword lights followed closely behind, biting the one in front of them and not letting go.

"Survivors of the Demonic Sect, you can't escape!"

"Die!"

"Ah!"

Amidst the shouts and screams, one of the lights in front was destroyed by the sword Qi. The cultivators inside had their limbs torn apart and were killed on the spot, bleeding in midair.

Song Shi looked at this scene in surprise.

The people who escaped were dressed in yellow uniforms. The pursuers were dressed in white, and most of them used swords. Their auras were sharp and carried a ferocious aura.

"Oh no, it's the Zenith Heaven Guards. The sect has been ambushed!"

Xie Shen's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed.

"Zenith Heaven Guards…"

Song Shi's gaze shifted slightly. This was a special team within the Demon Slayers. They were mainly in charge of killing and were led by the Zenith Heaven Sword King. They were very famous in Great Qian. He did not expect to meet them here.

He smiled. "Looks like the Sacred Fire Sect will be destroyed without me doing anything."

At this moment, after a few screams, the few people who escaped were all killed by the Zenith Heaven Guards.

Then, Sword Light flashed and surrounded Song Shi's flying ship!

"You guys came back at the right time. Kill them all so that we don't have to look for them!"

The leading Foundation Establishment sword cultivator sneered. His gaze was merciless, as if he was sizing up the two corpses.

They had already heard Xie Shen's exclamation and treated the two of them as elders and deacons who had returned from outside to the Sacred Fire Sect.

Xie Shen was so frightened that his face turned pale. Song Shi only asked him to lead the way, but these people would kill him.

He looked at Song Shi. This was the only person who could protect him now. He just didn't know if he was part of the Zenith Heaven Guards.

Relying on him probably wouldn't work. These people dared to destroy their Sacred Fire Sect, meaning that they were very confident. Moreover the Zenith Heaven Sword King was probably here too. Everyone would most likely die today.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a member of the Sacred Fire Sect. Moreover, I have the same goal as you guys. I'm here to destroy them."

Song Shi said calmly, "Now that you've made a move, you've dealt with it even more cleanly than me. It saves you a lot of trouble."

"You're quite good at pretending. Do you think you can leave safely by pretending to be an enemy of the Sacred Fire Sect?"

The leading Foundation Establishment sword cultivator scoffed, "Do you think we didn't hear what he said?"

Song Shi frowned. "He's from the Sacred Fire Sect. He led the way for me."

"Continue making up stories."

The Foundation Establishment swordsman had a disdainful expression. He lowered his head and shouted, "Come over brothers. A Foundation Establishment remnant and a Qi Refinement cultivator have returned. We can't let them escape."

Song Shi frowned. How could there still be a f*cking misunderstanding?

However, Xie Shen seemed to have grabbed onto a straw to clutch at. He rolled his eyes and said, "Elder Song, let's run quickly. Your flying ship is very fast. You will definitely be able to shake them off."

"Hehe, look, his lie collapsed on its own."

The leading swordsman looked smug.

Clang! Clang!

Amidst the sword cries, several sword lights rushed out from the sand. These Zenith Heaven Guards were also dressed in white and flew on their swords. Many of them were stained with blood which looked especially obvious.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The new Zenith Heaven Guards cooperated tacitly to block the flying ship's escape route. Apart from the swords under their feet, they also held swords in their hands. Some with high cultivation levels even floated beside them on their swords, ready to attack at any time.

In the blink of an eye, Song Shi and the flying ship were sealed by the Zenith Heaven Guards and sword beams. These sword beams were arranged in an orderly manner, clearly forming a sword array.

When Xie Shen saw that the Zenith Heaven Guards were confident of victory, cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he begged, "Elder Song, leave quickly. He won't believe you."

Crack!

A hand instantly grabbed his neck and twisted it gently. Song Shi stared coldly at the unbelievable Xie Shen. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You're still playing tricks on me?"

"You!"

Xie Shen did not expect Song Shi to kill him at all. Regret appeared in his eyes.

If he did not open his mouth and continue to trick the Zenith Heaven Guards believe that this person was an elder of the Sacred Fire Sect, would he have a chance to live?

Unfortunately, there were no what ifs.

Flames emerged from Song Shi's hand. The terrifying flames turned him into ashes, leaving only his storage bag and Dharma artifacts. Song Shi skillfully put them away.

"As expected of someone from the Demonic Sect. He's really temperamental. He didn't hesitate to attack his own people."

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivators who came to support mocked.

Song Shi's face twitched as he stepped into a void.

BOOM!

With a loud bang, golden flames erupted. The pupils of the surrounding Zenith Heaven Guards constricted, and they were all sent flying by the blast of energy. Those with low cultivation spat out blood and fell on the spot.

"I don't want to explain to you anymore. If you want to die, just attack me!"

Song Shi looked disdainful. He was not even afraid of Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone these guys.

230 Looks Like He's a Little Arrogant

"Golden… Golden Core?"

The leading sword cultivator exclaimed and could not help but tremble.

A terrifying pressure spread in all directions. Song Shi was like a sun or a volcano, emitting endless explosive power that made them feel like they could turn into ashes at any moment.

None of them moved forward. If not for the fact that the main force was here, they would have turned around and fled.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?"

!!

Song Shi was surrounded by golden flames as he calmly looked down at all the Zenith Heaven Guards.

"If you guys don't want to fight, I'll do it."

Song Shi subconsciously wanted to use the Dragon Subduing Palm, but considering his current status, he ultimately changed his palm technique and chose the Iron Sand Palm.

"Stop!"

With a delicate shout,

Clang!

There was a sound of sword.

The white sword Qi soared into the sky and cut open the red sandstorm, shooting out a Phantom image.

This person was dressed in white and was extremely beautiful. Her entire body was spotless. Her long dress swayed, and her black hair fluttered in the wind. Her slender figure stood on a sword, and her aura was ethereal and otherworldly, carrying a heroic and fierce aura.

Song Shi's gaze shifted slightly. He did not expect to meet an old acquaintance here.

Chen Yiling!

The genius woman with the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit had obtained the recognition of a spirit sword in the ruins in the center of the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. Her cultivation level was already at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

With the spirit sword, even someone who had just entered the Golden Core realm might not be a match for this woman. She could be considered a natural cultivation genius.

"Her cultivation level has increased so quickly. As expected of a genius."

Song Shi sensed Chen Yiling's cultivation level and was shocked.

In a year, she had advanced from the Qi Refinement realm to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, it was simply terrifying. It was only slightly inferior to him.

"It's the effect of the spiritual sword. Coupled with her Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, increasing her strength is as easy as eating and drinking. It's happening every moment."

Song Shi thought to himself. He was not afraid.

He teased, "Little beauty, do you want me to stop, or do you want them to stop?"

"I told them to stop. There's no need to lose their lives for nothing. Senior is too strong. Even I don't have the confidence."

Chen Yiling's voice was crisp as she smiled generously.

She sized up Song Shi, and there was a hint of surprise in her sharp and bright eyes. Why did she have a strange feeling about this man?

This feeling only existed when she was with that person.

Her gaze landed on Song Shi's Dharmic powers, "Senior, you cultivate the Pure Yang True Fire? It seems to be even more powerful. It looks like your Nomological power is deep!"

"Oh no, even True Fire was recognized. Could it be that my alias has been exposed?"

Song Shi lamented in his heart. He could disguise himself, but he could not disguise his Nomological powers. If he did not use his Nine Yang Nomological powers, he could only use the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique.

However, since he was now known by the Blood-Robed old ghost in Great Qian. It would be easier for him to be exposed.

His expression didn't change. "Little beauty, you have good taste."

Cultivators could achieve the title of True Human at the Golden Core Martial King level when the power they cultivate condense their essence into a pill and turned illusion into reality.

According to the different cultivation Stats, the power of turning illusion into reality was different. Fire-elemental cultivators could naturally condense true fire. Water-elemental cultivators could condense true water. The other True Wood, True Earth, True Gold, True Thunder, and so on were similar.

For example, he had a Metal Stats Spiritual Root. If he was willing, he could also condense true gold. In fact, his current body was comparable to a real Vajra made of gold.

If he took another step forward, he would naturally be like a Numinous artifact, elevating his true fire to spiritual fire, immortal fire, divine fire, and other higher-level powers.

"The Pure Yang True Fire is a top-notch true fire. In the Sacred Fire Sect, only core disciples and sect masters can condense it. Senior, I wonder who you are so that we can get to know each other."

Chen Yiling said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Song Shi pursed his lips. Damn it, this was too much of a coincidence.

He cultivated fire attribute power and so did the Sacred Fire Sect. This made it even more difficult for him to clear up the misunderstanding.

It seemed that if he really had to keep up his act with multiple identities in the future, he also had to think of a way to hide his Nomological powers.

He started to plan in his heart and was not polite. He said coldly, "Are you here to kill me too? You're still not strong enough."

"If we don't try, how will we know how strong Senior is?"

Chen Yiling's hair danced in the wind as the sword aura on her body grew stronger and stronger. She actually dared to attack Song Shi.

"Courageous."

Song Shi chuckled and glanced at the sandstorm. A dilapidated mountain appeared faintly, and the smell of blood flowed out.

From the innermost position, he sensed a powerful aura that was already paying attention to him.

"Do you have anything to rely on…"

Song Shi looked at the high-spirited Chen Yiling. This girl seemed to be a little arrogant after obtaining the spiritual sword.

Clang!

Chen Yiling suddenly became agile. Her entire body shone with a pure white light as the Metal Sword Essence filled her body. Her entire body fused with the spiritual sword and transformed into an even larger white sword that stabbed at Song Shi.

This strike was clean and straightforward, carrying an indomitable sword intent that could shatter everything. It seemed that no matter what was in front of him, she could break it with a single strike.

Song Shi watched calmly. He did not take out his Numinous artifacts or use any divine powers. He simply raised his hand.

Buzz!

The golden light was bedazzling. Dense runes crawled around Song Shi's body. His hand turned into a diamond and grabbed the tip of the sword.

Clang!

It was as if a sword had stabbed into the Golden Bell Shield. A metallic sound reverberated as the impact-type sword Qi was blocked by the Diamond Spirit Body. It looked sharp, but it could not advance an inch.

Chen Yiling's figure appeared amidst the sword Qi.

She put her hands together and held her longsword, using all her strength to attack.

Seeing Song Shi catch her strongest spiritual sword with his bare hands, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"The spiritual sword is very sharp, but it's master's strength is still a little lacking. Otherwise, I wouldn't be safe to catch it with my bare hands."

Song Shi grinned. His current physique was already powerful enough to clash with Numinous artifact. There was no need for him to use other weapons to deal with a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Yiling, retreat!"

A reminder came from the ground. Chen Yiling came back to her senses. She knew that she was no match for this person and wanted to retreat.

"It's too late. I only took your sword with my bare hands because I was waiting for you to throw yourself at me."

Song Shi's gaze was deep. He grabbed the spiritual sword and pulled it with all his might. Chen Yiling fell into his arms uncontrollably.

Chen Yiling realized that she could not use her sword anymore. In her panic, she hurriedly slapped out with her palm, but it was blocked by a circle of golden light. The recoil numbed her arm.

Song Shi pointed back and easily broke through her protective Sword Essence. A wisp of scorching Nomological power surged in and ran amok in her body, quickly scattering her Quintessential Essence.

Chen Yiling was shocked. She grunted and realized that she could not use much strength. It was too late for her to retreat.

An arm suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of Song Shi.

Song Shi's fingers moved, and the runes outlined a translucent talisman that landed on Chen Yiling's body.

Seal!

Her True Essence and even her Spiritual Sword were temporarily sealed and she could not move.

"Let go!"

Clang!

A heaven-reaching sword beam slashed over. Song Shi had already expected this. He struck out with his other hand and with a boom, he was forced back dozens of feet by the sword beam.
