Strange Stories

Chapter 595: Life and Death and Immortality

South of the capital, Bailifeng Mountain is frozen in its most magnificent time. The whole mountain is covered with red, and the forest is dyed red. Some of the red leaves on the trees are translucent, some are reflective, and some cast shadows in the sun. It seems to be between fantasy and reality, at the junction of dreams and reality, with a beautiful sense of layering.

There is another steep cliff deep in the mountain. It is vertical to the ground, but there are pavilions and palaces of various sizes built on top, connected by wooden corridors and passages in the cliff.

The mountains full of precious trees are spewing out clouds and mist, radiating light, as if telling the world that this is indeed not the mortal world.

The clouds floating on the mountainside and the egrets flying leisurely make it look like a fairyland, the cliffs make it spectacular and shocking, and the endless red leaves on the mountain add a touch of beauty. Only a Taoist priest was standing on the corner of the largest pavilion in the middle.

The Taoist held an ancient book in his hand.

Opposite him was a mighty god, wearing black and gold scale armor with scars and potholes on it representing his glorious battles in the past. He was wearing a gray and white robe outside, which showed his attitude of restraining his murderous intent. The black and gold halberd in his hand reflected the autumn scenery of the mountains and the immortal pavilions. He was turning his head around, looking at this place slowly.

"Go ahead..."

Lin Jue threw the ancient book in his hand and said, "Go find your next destined person."

In a flash of light, the ancient book suddenly disappeared.

"Is this your cave?" asked Lord Fuchi, retracting his gaze.

"Exactly."

"Why is there no one inside?"

"My disciples have gone out to look for opportunities. Luo Gong has taken refuge somewhere else. One of my old friends has been traveling and hasn't returned yet. One has gone to Yangzhou to make elixirs. The others have gone to Yishan." Lin Jue said, "But there is no one here."

"That's just fine."

"yes……"

Lin Jue said this, still standing on the roof of the building, and suddenly pointed his finger -

Flowers bloom in an instant!

The God of Fuchi did not dodge or evade and was immediately hit by the spell.

Flowers suddenly blossomed under his robes and armor, causing his robes and armor to swell slightly. Flowers also sprouted from under his robes or grew from places not covered by the armor.

I saw Fu Chi Shenjun slowly lower his head, reached out to pick a flower from his chest, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

It is a red flower the same color as the red leaves on the mountain.

"Absorbing essence and magic power, and consuming the incense of Taoism, isn't this the magical power passed down by the Green Emperor?"

Lord Fu Chi was still standing there, motionless, as if he felt no pain or fear at all, his eyes fixed on the red flower. He gently rubbed the red flower with two fingers and it spun and floated down. It floated less than two inches and, like all the flowers on his body, turned into red dust and disappeared into the air.

The flowers that always seem to be ineffective in bloom suddenly seem to be of no use to him.

What a great God of Fu Chi!

Lin Jue's expression froze, and he made another gesture.

Seize life and give longevity!

But Lord Fu Chi was shining with golden light, and he took a deep breath, and the vitality and lifespan of the whole world were sucked into his stomach. Even the red leaves on the mountain fell off and formed a river in the air with the mountain wind, but no vitality or lifespan was sucked from Lord Fu Chi.

"The magical power of the Queen Mother of the East? Did you get it from your wordless book, or did the fox pass it on to you?"

Lord Fuchi stared at him indifferently.

As soon as Lin Jue heard this, he knew that when he was still a nobody, he traveled to Cuiwei County and met the Holy Lord and the God of Fuchi for the first time. He ordered his two generals, Xuanri and Xuanyue, to go upstairs to investigate. He probably already knew the identity of his fox and the ancient book that the fox was protecting.

But what kind of person is Fuchi Shenjun? The descendants of the nine-tailed fox and the wordless ancient book are all ordinary in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, I am already invulnerable to all attacks. If this is all you can do, I'm afraid you will die today."

"What about this?"

Lin Jue made a hand gesture and pointed his finger, surging magic power suddenly rushed out, turning into an invisible chain and inserted into the body of Fu Chi Shenjun.

He stretched out his hand and pulled, and even Lord Fuchi frowned.

With a shake of his hand, the halberd immediately cut the chain.

"What kind of spell is this?"

The God of Fu Chi stood in the wind, with the sky full of red leaves forming his beautiful background, and he finally seemed to be interested.

"This is because the gods of the previous dynasty were immoral and urged the world to create a method to destroy gods." Lin Jue hinted at something.

"That's quite interesting." Fuchi Shenjun smiled slightly, "Unfortunately, although I am a god, I still have a physical body. Your magic can't threaten me."

"It seems that the True Lord is not very eager to fight."

"I know you are a man of virtue and merit, and I don't want to kill you. What's more, you are a cultivator, and it would be meaningless to fight you if you are weak."

"That's not necessarily true!"

Lin Jue waved his hand and scattered a dozen beans.

Beans grow in the wind!

The twelve flying swords reflected the sunlight, and the three long swords reflected the red leaves. Except for one long sword that fell into his hands, the other twelve flying swords immediately turned into streams of light and flew towards Lord Fu Chi. The two long swords also rotated into silver moon disks in the air and slashed towards Lord Fu Chi.

The red leaves in the sky are neatly cut in half!

The figures of Hongye and Fuchi Shenjun were reflected on the long sword's shiny blade, and he dodged several flying swords with a slight move. The next moment, the long sword slashed on the black-gold halberd in his hand.

With a bang, the air was filled with wind!

The long sword immediately spun and was knocked far away, while the halberd was knocked to the other side, knocking another long sword away.

"Still soft?"

“Better!”

As he spoke, twelve flying swords came again. Two long swords also slashed from a distance, one in front and one behind, one on the left and one on the right.

"Dragon transformation play!"

A roar between heaven and earth——

The black-gold halberd instantly broke away from the control of Lord Fu Chi and transformed into a huge black-gold dragon, twisting wildly in the air and flying away from Lord Fu Chi.

Ding ding ding! Dang dang!

Twelve flying swords suddenly pierced through the armor of Lord Fu Chi, and two long swords slashed his neck from the left and right.

But underneath the armor is a body that is stronger than the armor.

"The Lord of Gods has not fought in over a hundred years, so he is a little rusty."

Lin Jue waved his right hand, and all the flying swords and long swords immediately left the body of Lord Fu Chi, chopping off countless red leaves and breezes. He pointed his left hand again, and the flying swords turned into thin streams of light and turned back. The long swords also turned into silver discs and gathered towards Lord Fu Chi again.

"is it?"

In an instant, Lord Fuchi disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was already beside Lin Jue, with the sword at his waist in his hand.

With a loud bang, the two swords collided!

Lin Jue was immediately knocked away.

Moving in the opposite direction with him, apart from the red leaves in the sky, there were also flying swords that transformed into thin lines of light and long swords that swirled in the wind, continuing to attack the Lord of the Floating Pool.

But he still didn't dodge or evade.

I saw the spiritual power collapse, divine light splashed everywhere, and the sound of stabbing and slashing was endless.

Lord Fu Chi ignored these flying swords and long swords. He became a little annoyed and threw the sword in his hand. It turned into fourteen swords, which automatically hit the flying swords and long swords in the air. He stretched out his hand and unimaginable divine power surged out, directly catching the black gold dragon that escaped to the outside of Fengshan.

Lord Fu Chi raised one hand high, and his divine power and magic power trapped the black-gold dragon. As he stretched out his hand and clenched it, an unknown force directly crushed the black-gold dragon.

With a loud bang, a halberd was already in his hand.

He continued walking forward, holding the halberd.

"I am immortal, and your abilities are no threat to me." The God said calmly, "Since you and I have some history, you can leave a will, where to be buried, what things to leave to whom, and who you want me to take care of for you, you can tell me everything."

"The Lord of Gods is immortal, so my magic skills are ineffective against him. But do you think your skills can threaten me?"

"Insanity!"

In an instant, Lord Fuchi appeared before him again.

The halberd had already hit Lin Jue's face.

But at this moment, he was just like Lord Fuchi, neither dodging nor evading. Also like Lord Fuchi, because he was immortal, he was extremely calm in his heart.

"boom……"

The Taoist was chopped into ashes by this halberd.

"Ok?"

Lord Fu Chi was puzzled, as if he sensed the mystery of the great Dao at the moment.

Looking sideways, the Taoist appeared on the left again.

"What kind of magical power is this?"

“It is also immortal.”

"The immortality of the cycle of life and death?" Fuchi Shenjun narrowed his eyes and said, as if he had also explored this. "No wonder he dared to stop me!"

"Exactly!"

"This method can also bring others back to life, right?"

"The Lord of God does have insights."

“Humph! Since you have cultivated such magical powers, you come to fight me to death, forgetting your promise that there are people waiting for you outside Ziyun County in Modu Mountain. I think you are actually a traitor!”

Fuchi Shenjun suddenly became a little more angry:

"You have betrayed me, yet you dared to place my statue there as his guardian deity! I will kill you today, and then go back and blow his soul away in one breath, so that he won't wait any longer!"

The figure was erratic, and he slashed with a halberd.

Even though Lin Jue tried to block with his sword, he was chopped into ashes.

"The Lord God has misunderstood."

The voice came again from the other end:
"What I promised Fellow Daoist Fan was not only resurrection from the dead, but also something else. With my current magical powers, I can only fulfill one of them, and I cannot completely transform him and reshape his talents. Moreover, I can't do anything to the God King today, so can the God King do anything to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the God appeared beside him again.

Even if he stretched out his hand and summoned a hundred thousand invisible walls in an instant, they would be pierced through and cut open by the True Lord. Even if the Taoist turned into a breeze and dispersed into nothingness, he would still be instantly reduced to ashes under the halberd of the True Lord.

This is the ability of the number one general in the Nine Heavens.

Immortal and indestructible, no one can stop it.

To be honest, Lin Jue thought that his "Creation of Life and Death" was probably more powerful than the "Immortality" of Lord Fuchi. After all, it could be used outside of himself. Even the Great Dao believed that it was a skill closer to the supreme magical power. However, in a one-on-one fight, its performance was slightly worse than that of Lord Fuchi's "Immortality".

Fortunately, the result is the same.

No one can do anything to each other.
