Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 458 Hand-to-hand combat?
Wei Xi is back, or at least half of him.

Wei Xi's consciousness, combined with Qin Feng's Qi and physical constitution, and his ugly snake-like body.

"Oh," Wei Xi thought expressionlessly, "that's called the primordial Yin-Yang Qi, or simply primordial."

Wei Duanduan thought that being cultured meant simply replacing one word with another.

Wei Xi suddenly remembered that he was back, but where was Qin Feng?

And Lian Gou Lang, did I switch back with him?

Thinking of this, Wei Xi felt a brief moment of guilt—the new human skin that Lian Gouhan had changed into was probably ruined.

“At least the scroll wasn’t lost,” Wei Xi said, habitually flicking the snake’s tail. “Getting inside the scroll should be fine, right?”

Unfortunately, you can't flick your tail.

The gloomy mood chased away his guilty conscience. Wei Xi stared at the deformed tail that had grown various organs and almost cursed out loud.

"These demonic beasts from the Eastern Yi are still restless even after being suppressed! They've leaked out like this, making it impossible for me to even be a proper snake."

Wei Xi didn't blame Zuo Fei: she could see clearly that Zuo Fei had seriously nailed himself to the spike of the scales, with a hole the size of a bowl in his chest. It was a miracle he hadn't died on the spot.

Even someone as ruthless as Wei Xi would have to carefully consider his actions before committing such a "heroic feat."

Zuo Fei is really naive. She made two mistakes for herself because of a few nonsensical words. Who wouldn't be amazed?

Even so, Zuo Fei still used Deadwater City to clean up the mess for Dongyi. Although it was only a temporary solution, his inability to do so did not diminish the dazzling light of his self-sacrifice.

Wei Xi didn't understand, but he was filled with respect.

Yes, aside from the Zhenhai Sect's trial grounds and how he got caught up in the mysteries of heaven and earth, Wei Xi's memories all came back.

“Zuo Fei.” Wei Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to tell whether he felt pity or confusion. “At least he played the hero.”

Although Yu Han was killed by someone else, and the boy pointed out the last character "Zhou," it is undeniable that without Zuo Fei, these coincidences would not have come together.

After witnessing the entire dramatic change in the Eastern Yi thousands of years ago, Wei Xi made the final decision: the infighting among the demon beasts, including Zuo Feitou Gong, Boy Ci Gong, and Yu Xianzhou, earned him the title of best assistant.

At that moment, Wei Xi was clinging to the heavens and earth, and could see clearly that the boy was none other than the child that Yu Han had used to exchange voices with her.

He committed numerous evils, so it's no wonder that Yu Han died at his hands.

Wei Xi is still mute—she said it was just another unlucky illusion, no matter how realistic it was, it was still fake.

Thinking of this, Wei Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he hadn't implicated others who had also become mute.

"Yu Xianzhou, what a waste of such a good name. We'll suppress him again later."

His thoughts raced in an instant, without slowing down Wei Xi's rescue efforts.

But then Wei Xi discovered that he was embedded in the wall.

Surrounded by bone-colored coral, Wei Xi was humiliated and smashed into the wall like a statue.

What's worse is yet to come: a sword lies across the part where Wei Xi and the snake-man meet, blocking her way inside the wall.

"Gao Han?" Wei Xi's pupils dilated slightly. "Qin Feng did this?"

Qin Feng was the epitome of someone who would go through fire and water without hesitation. In just a few breaths, Wei Xi had figured out the situation pretty much.

It was simply that Qin Feng and his companion encountered danger, causing this body to undergo a strange change. When Qin Feng realized something was wrong, he pressed Lian Gou into the wall and drew the danger away himself.

Lian Gou, embedded in the wall, was also busy, trying to contact Wei Xi, who was facing the Heavenly Dao, using the [Fish Intestine Mirror].

Wei Xi bent his head in a strange posture, opened his mouth and bit Gao Han, finally breaking the restriction after much effort.

Gao Han is a precious sword, but it's not even a sword used by sword cultivators.

But after spending a few years with Qin Feng in the cultivation world, his swords were no different from those used by sword cultivators, and he vaguely developed some instincts, becoming extremely loyal to his master.

If Wei Xi hadn't recognized his familiar scent, Gao Han would probably have already chopped her head off. With Ling Yin not nearby, Wei Xi was speechless and could only nervously push Gao Han away.

Without Gao Han stopping him, Wei Xi slid down the wall with little effort.

Wei Xi accepted the fact that he was paralyzed without any hesitation. Considering the extent of the deformity of his snake body, the fact that he could still move his mouth was a blessing from heaven.

Fortunately, the Qiankun bag was found, and it's hanging around my neck.

Wei Xi stuffed Gao Han into his Qiankun bag and stubbornly crawled along the corpses of various monsters using only one hand and his upper body.

Needless to say, they were in a sorry state; they were even more terrified.

There were just too many; the passageway was covered with the corpses of monsters, big and small, mutilated and even more mutilated—it was practically a death gallery.

However, there were no corpses of these monsters in the passage before.

The passage was a conduit for a weapon-refining furnace thousands of years ago, and it is unknown whether the tailbone that was successfully born took up residence in it.

The tailbone has a good appetite, and those snakes are all alive and well, so it's impossible for it to abandon so many monster carcasses.

However, the remains of these monsters did mark a clear path.

The experienced craftsman Wei noticed that the wounds on the remains were quite strange: some wounds looked very fresh, but there was no blood; some marks were made by punching, but no bruises formed.

“The blood has long been drained,” Wei Xi thought to himself. “These mutilated corpses are quite old.”

"Since you can turn monsters into mutilated corpses, there's no reason to vent your anger with your fists."

"The punch must have been a recent event, but there was no blood in the remains, so there was no way a bruise could have formed."

"Could these demonic beasts be sealed here like puppets? Were Qin Feng and Lian Gouyan being hunted down by them?"

Wei Xi's heart sank to the bottom: just looking at the number of corpses, he knew this was going to be a tough battle, and he wondered if Qin Feng could hold on.

Wei Xi just couldn't understand why Qin Feng chose to fight with his fists.
Even though Qin Feng was trapped inside the snake's body, she had been practicing martial arts since childhood and was highly skilled in both fist and foot techniques. She could even fight her way in and out of Gao Han seven times. Why would she choose to abandon her weapon? And what's with this deformed snake body?

With human life at stake, Wei Xi suppressed his doubts and quickened his crawling speed.

It must be said that the use of the [fish intestine endoscope] was very timely. After crawling for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wei Xi heard a clear striking sound.

After climbing a few more feet, a bend suddenly appeared. Wei Xi tried to go around it, but bumped into a coral wall.

"Soft?"

Wei Xi's hair stood on end, but he was firmly held in place. Then his body slumped down and he fell into the cage.

"Xiao Xi? You switched back?"

Wei Xi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mud cage hanging about three zhang away from him. Qin Feng had a demon beast under his arm and was looking at him with surprise while hitting the demon beast's head hard.

Wei Xi gestured a couple of times, trying to make her understand his confusion.

"Oh," Qin Feng explained kindly, "It's hand-to-hand combat, and the opponent is a demonic beast."

Hand-to-hand combat, or unarmed fighting, was a common form of entertainment in the martial state of Ju, not to mention it was part of military training.

Wei Xi disliked the thing because it was sticky and sweaty, and he hadn't played with it much, but he knew what it was from what he'd seen and heard.

"How did you get him back? I'll strip that kid Lian Gouyan of his clothes as soon as I get out of here!" Qin Feng quickly stopped talking, flashing a dirty smile at Wei Xi. "I'm fine, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Looking at the monster whose eyeballs had been smashed out of their sockets, Wei Xi was quite certain that Qin Feng was alright.

Wei Xi, whose eyes were hurting, pointed at the monsters, wanting to ask where these things came from.

Qin Feng, still busy with his hands, replied, "We were so stupid. We thought we could try to find something else, but who knew that the thing inside the wall woke up and these monsters came out."
