Chapter 41
When it’s time to mettle, mettle, and when it’s time to be brave, be brave!
Since ancient times, evil spirits have always been the greatest threat to human cultivators.
Facing evil spirits directly.
Unless they are truly unbeatable.
Otherwise, retreating will not allow them to forgive, and fear will only fuel their evil nature.
There was no choice but to fight!
A ball of spiritual light exploded with pure Yang Qi and heavily slapped the scarecrow’s head.
“Squeak!”
The scarecrow’s head jerked backward.
It was as if it had snapped.
Its face with no mouth, nose, eyes, and ears sprouted wisps of white smoke, as if it was about to burst into flames.
Wang Chen retracted his palm and was about to touch the third Evil Warding Talisman.
Unexpectedly, a black grass rope shot out from behind the scarecrow, and then rolled back to wrap around his waist.
Wang Chen’s breath stuttered!
This evil spirit was extraordinary, still retaining a strong ability to fight back even after eating two Evil-Preventing Talismans in a row.
He felt like his waist was being hooped by a giant python, and his bones and joints made unbearable friction sounds.
The entire person was about to be twisted into two!
If it wasn’t for the fact that Wang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Vajra Orthodoxy had already stepped into the level of Copper Skin, and his physique had been drastically improved compared to before, he was afraid that he could no longer support himself.
But the amount of time he could hold on now was also extremely limited.
Not only that, at the part where the grass rope was wrapped around, a sinister aura was penetrating through the Cloud Light Dharma robe and seeping into his body.
It was eroding Wang Chen’s mana!
At this moment, Wang Chen was facing an unprecedented crisis.
Ka-ching!
The scarecrow’s head was abruptly and rigidly leveled back.
The face without five senses was facing Wang Chuan.
Only two feet away.
Wang Chuan only felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, smelling the fearful flavor of death!
“Kill!”
In the nick of time, Wang Chuan angrily shouted and suddenly raised his clenched fist.
Giant Power Technique!
His arms instantly swelled by a large circle, and the power of qi and blood honed by body refining violently erupted.
In the next moment, a pair of fists that glowed with a reddish copper-colored luster fiercely bombarded the scarecrow’s left and right temple areas.
The third style of the Golden Diamond Fist!
This strike condensed ten percent of Wang Chen’s Qi, Mana, and Soul Power.
It could be said to be the strongest force he could exert.
Snap!
The scarecrow’s head burst open, countless grass clippings splattered and flew across the sky, and his body collapsed and fell apart afterward.
The grass rope wrapped around Wang Chen’s waist snapped by inches.
[Mega Power Technique – Experience +1]
[Mega Power Technique (Proficient): 0/200]
[Vajra Fist – Experience +1] [Vajra Fist (Proficient): 0/200]
[Vajra Fist (Proficient): 0/200]
Wang Chen had no time to pay attention to the message alerts that flashed through his vision, and as he got free, he pulled out the third Evil-Breaking Talisman from his storage bag as fast as he could.
Slapping at the scarecrow that had already fallen apart.
Bang!
This evil spirit possessed scarecrow fell apart in pieces, and the sinister aura that had just poured out was cleansed away.
[Human Virtue +25]
Wang Chen staggered back two steps, feeling weaker than ever.
Without thinking, he fished out a Qi Recovery Pill and swallowed it before pulling out the Wild Goose Plume Sword hanging at his waist.
The previous fight had erupted extremely suddenly and was completely close combat, neither of them had the opportunity to use a weapon.
But now this magic sword couldn’t be used either.
The information display that appeared in the field of vision told Wang Dust that he had finished off this evil spirit.
And had gained a whopping 25 points of Human Virtue!
Holding the sword, he stood still for a moment to regulate the disordered qi and blood and mana in his body.
Only after determining that there was no second evil spirit around, did Wang Chen put away his weapon.
At this time, he realized that between the scattered straw and broken wood in front of him, there was a curled up corpse lying in front of him!
The body had been melted down to the point where not much flesh remained, and a white skeleton was revealed, with a black and slender grass rope tightly wrapped around it.
Undoubtedly, this was a poor man who had been scourged by an evil spirit!
Nine times out of ten, it was a cultivator similar to Wang Dust.
Just now, if Wang Chuan’s response had been the slightest bit wrong, I’m afraid that he would have already followed in the other party’s footsteps at this moment.
Reduced to a blood food tonic for the evil spirits!
He let out a long breath and had a feeling of gratitude for having survived the calamity.
Wang Chen realized that from the moment he crossed over to this world, one danger after another came one after another.
It was hard to even think about Gou.
I don’t know if it was a butterfly effect caused by him, or if it was just fate!
Reinvigorating his spirit, Wang Chen fished out the bottle containing the Corpse Transformation Powder from his storage bag.
As well as a Past Life Talisman.
Just as he was about to dissolve the corpse.
Suddenly, there was a movement in his mind.
Taking the bottle back, Wang Chen pinched his right hand with a spell and pointed at the corpse on the ground.
Dots of fire light immediately emerged from his fingertips, and then his entire hand was wrapped in a blazing fire.
A lifelike fire crow appeared from the flames, spreading its wings and flying towards the corpse.
Boom!
The palm-sized fire crow hit the corpse and immediately turned into crimson flames that covered it.
Fire Crow Technique (Introductory): 0/100]
Wang Chen’s Fire Crow Art, which he had never succeeded in comprehending earlier, had thus stepped over the most important threshold!
Actual combat, indeed, was a powerful aid to breaking the boundary.
He looked at the series of spells that were displayed as “Proficient” in the skill bar of the Immortal Cultivation Panel.
In his heart, he was quite emotional.
Just this evening, Wang Chen’s Giant Power Technique, Spirit Light Shield Armor, and Vajra Fist had all entered the Proficient level.
Without consuming a single bit of Human Virtue!
Now the Fire Crow Art had also been initiated.
However, if he had a choice, he would rather stay at home and slowly break through.
As the corpses on the ground gradually turned into ashes, Wang Chen activated the talisman of the dead in his hand.
This talisman was the one he had picked up when he went to Yunshan City to buy spiritual tea last time.
The price was very cheap.
“Dust to dust, earth to earth, the dead souls return to the thick earth ……”
Reciting the Mantra of the Past Life, Wang Chen silently wished the other party in his heart to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and not suffer any more in the next life.
I don’t know if it’s a hallucination.
When Wang Chuan finished reciting the mantra.
He actually saw a nearly transparent shadow floating up from the ashes.
Hanging in the air, he saluted himself.
Wang Chen subconsciously returned the salute.
When he re-lifted his head, the shadowy figure had already disappeared.
“Fellow Daoist, have a good journey.”
Just as Wang Chen was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint stream of light.
Huh?
Wang Dust stepped forward and leaned down to turn over a crystal bead with a silvery-white glow from the ashes!
The bead was almost the size of a dragon’s eye, and it was cold and round and smooth in the hand.
Upon closer inspection, there was a faint mist stirring inside.
Yin Qi Bead!
Wang Chen froze at first, then rejoiced!
Inside the “Evil Sneaks Speak”, there was a record that a few evil spirits contained Yin Qi beads within them, which would fall out after they were exterminated.
Yin Qi Beads were precious materials that could be borrowed for cultivation as well as used for weapon refining.
Wang Chen did not expect that the first evil sneak he had killed had exploded a valuable Yin Qi Bead.
A newbie perk?
Speaking of which if Wang Dust had just had no intention of overtaking the victim and leaving the corpse unattended.
Then this Yin Qi Bead wouldn’t have been exposed at all.
This is also considered to be a good deed that goes a long way!
With that in mind, Wang Chuan pinched the spell again, and his fingertips were flooded with a bit of spiritual light.
A few moments later, a light rain pattered down.
The rain containing spiritual qi saturated the land, integrating the ashes into the soil.
Not the slightest trace was left behind.
