I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 136 No More Acting (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Wow!

A female corpse slowly rose to the surface of the water, her long hair flowing like seaweed, her face rotting, her ribs wrapped with black algae, and her spine exposed below her waist, like a monster with a human head and a snake's body swimming in the water.

Giggle...

The Bone Woman let out a strange laugh, and her long hair suddenly shot out like a living thing.

Crimson Cloud Silk!
With a wave of her hand, Qin Yunyan caused flames to rise from the Crimson Silk, burning the incoming strands of hair to ashes.

But the ashes that fell into the lake transformed into even more tiny water ghosts, wailing and crawling toward the spirit boat.

"I hate it when kids cry!"

Zhang Jinling glared angrily, and the Thousand Blade Umbrella unfolded with a whoosh. Hundreds of golden needles shot out from between the umbrella ribs. The water ghosts were pierced by the golden needles and fled crying. The arms of the spirit boat were also severed by the golden needles. The Bone Woman sank to the bottom of the water and temporarily retreated.

boom!
Just as one wave subsided, another arose. Suddenly, three water columns burst open on the lake's surface, and three black carp clad in rusted bronze armor burst forth from the water.

Their fish heads had human faces embedded in them, their mouths were split to the ears, their mouths were full of sharp teeth, and their halberds were wrapped in water plants.

"Jinling, watch out!"

A carp general's halberd attacked from behind Zhang Jinling. Zhang Jincheng roared, and the Earth Soul Imprint behind Zhang Jinling transformed into a three-zhang-high rock wall.

Qin Yunze's Surging Wave Ruler blocked a battle halberd, and water ripples on the ruler surfaced, bursting forth with nine ice spikes that froze the bronze armor of the carp general in front of him, causing cracks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Black Water Serpent leaped out of the water and bit the carp's gills, instantly freezing half of its body with its icy breath.

On the other side, Qin Yunyan was locked in a fierce battle. Her halberd was wrapped in bone-corroding algae, and with each clash, the flames of the Crimson Silk were dimmed.

"The clouds and smoke bow their heads!"

Upon hearing Zhang Jinling's voice, Qin Yunyan instinctively bent down. A golden light swept past her head, and Zhang Jinling's golden eagle claws, sharp as knives, reached for the carp general's eyes!

As Li Jiang swept his halberd across, Zhang Jinling appeared behind him as if by teleportation, her Thousand-Blade Umbrella closing like a spear, aiming straight for Li Jiang's back.

Just then, another halberd suddenly thrust at her from the side, and Zhang Jinling was unable to dodge it.

boom!
Zhang Jincheng's stone-armored beast leaped up, its meteor-hammer-like tail lashing heavily onto the battle halberd.

Carp staggered backward, only to have its face splattered with foxfire spewed out by the suddenly erupting Flametail Fox.

The battle was fierce, and everyone inevitably got wet from the lake.

Purify your mind!

Jiang Yi cast a spell in time, and streams of healing light enveloped everyone, dispelling the bone-corroding poison that was spreading through their bodies.

At this moment, something happened, and Li Jiang suddenly abandoned his attack and turned to flee, only to be entangled by Qin Yunyan's Crimson Silk.

"Want to leave? No way!"

Flames erupted from the crimson silk, causing the carp to scream in agony as it burned.

Just as the other two carp were about to dive into the water, Zhang Jincheng unleashed the Earth Soul Seal.

trap!
The lakebed suddenly collapsed, forming a whirlpool, and the tsunami-like force swept the carp into the center of the whirlpool.

Zhang Jinling's Thousand-Blade Umbrella spun rapidly, sending golden needles flying like a storm. Screams echoed endlessly from within the vortex, before finally subsiding.

Panting heavily, before they could even take medicine to recover, a mountain of flesh suddenly rose from the center of the lake, and they finally understood why the carp had fled.

A huge, toad-like body emerged from the water, its back oozing yellowish-green pus from venom sacs, and it roared with its mouth open.

A wave of foul stench swept over, the black water surged, and a thousand long, tentacle-like tongues emerged from the poisonous toad's mouth, each tongue bearing a miniature human face, all emitting cries like those of infants!

Several people experienced excruciating pain in their heads, their internal energy instantly dissipated, and their protective aura vanished.

Just then, three long tongues shot out like lightning!

In a life-or-death moment, a long tongue lunged straight for Zhang Jinling's waist and abdomen, and Zhang Jincheng rushed to protect her without hesitation.

puff!

The bony, spiky tongue pierced through Zhang Jincheng's shoulder, and the venom instantly turned his entire arm purplish-black.

Seeing this, Jiang quickly cast several calming spells to help slow the spread of the toxins.

On the other side, Qin Yunze, seeing that he could not dodge the attacking long tongue, suddenly shook the spirit boat violently, instantly moving the unsteady Qin Yunyan in front of the long tongue.

Qin Yunyan was shocked and furious. In her haste, she threw out a Thunderfire Pearl. In the earth-shattering explosion, half of Qin Yunyan's body was burned, but the poisonous toad's tongue was also blown off.

"elder brother!"

Seeing her brother injured once again while saving her, Zhang Jinling's eyes widened in fury, golden light blazing from them, and her true energy surged like boiling water.

"Thousand-Blade Umbrella, rise!"

Zhang Jinling stepped onto the spinning Thousand Blade Umbrella, its golden patterns shining like the sun, lifting her into the air. Without hesitation, she took out her most treasured talisman, the 'Immortal Slayer,' bit her tongue, and spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the talisman.

A hundred-foot-long golden rainbow emerged from the void, like an inverted Milky Way, gradually condensing into a gilded giant sword above her head. Before the sword's edge moved, the surrounding air began to distort, emitting a hissing sound.

Despite her severe injuries, Qin Yunyan used her Crimson Cloud Silk to transform into a fire phoenix and circle around, burning away all the long tongues that were attacking Zhang Jinling.

The Flame-Tailed Fox shook its tail, conjuring three walls of fire, while the Stone Armored Beast dug out a ten-foot-high rock shield, all to buy time for Zhang Jinling.

With a long cry, the golden-feathered eagle swooped down, its sharp claws tearing open the swollen eyelids of the poisonous toad.

The poisonous toad, in pain, unleashed a flurry of long tongues that danced wildly, each tongue bearing a grinning human face as it spewed out a foul-smelling venomous mist.

cut!
Zhang Jinling swung her arm down, and the giant sword cleaved the heavens and earth.

As the golden light passed, half of the poisonous toad's body collapsed with a crash, and its severed tongue spewed out poisonous blood, which fell onto the lake surface and ignited into eerie green flames.

Ow—

The agonizing screams of the poisonous toad caused everyone's eardrums to bleed. Its remaining long tongue suddenly shot out, splitting open to spew out a large amount of highly toxic black mist, instantly engulfing the entire lake surface in the poisonous miasma.

The spirit boat was corroded, and black spots appeared on it that spread rapidly.

Qin Yunze finally moved, "Mystic Ice Mirror, solidify!"

The talisman he unleashed transformed into a prismatic ice shield, but it barely protected him.

The ice crystals melted rapidly in the poisonous fog. His face turned deathly pale as he watched helplessly as the others and the demon spirits fought against the long tongue, showing no intention of offering any assistance.

Just as everyone was seriously injured and about to be completely swallowed by the poisonous miasma, losing all power to resist, a slender figure soared into the sky against the miasma.

Jiang Yi, holding a stone sword, stroking the wildly dancing long tongues, moved swiftly as if walking on flat ground, spun around and leaped to dodge the attack, and jumped onto the top of the thousand-bearded poisonous toad.

Zhenyue!

Suddenly, three phantom mountains appeared above the poisonous toad's head. The strange peaks stood tall, and every fold on the mountain was clearly visible. You could even see the cold light reflected from the snow on the mountaintop.

If there were any sword cultivators present, they would have discovered that Jiang Yi had already mastered the corresponding sword intent in this ordinary move. The mountain phantoms became more and more realistic, and at this moment, even the snow on the mountain peak of the Xuan Ying Sword Sect appeared.

The sword's edge may not be as sharp as it once was, but the sword's intent roams freely as the heart desires.

Faced with such a mountain, fear appeared for the first time in the eyes of the rotten copper coin of the thousand-bearded poisonous toad.

The moment the mountain shadow crashed down, Hong Li flung out three mid-level blazing fireballs from her tail, which accurately struck the skull of the poisonous toad, which had been cracked by the sword's force.

Boom boom boom!
The shockwave from the explosion sent giant waves crashing into Blackwater Lake, scattering rotting flesh everywhere, and causing all the demons and monsters in the darkness to flee in panic.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw Jiang Yi standing alone on the mutilated toad carcass, his stone sword untouched by blood, and in his other hand he held the demon seed that had just been dug out of the toad's brain.

This demon seed is very special, or perhaps it can't be considered a demon seed. It's the size of an apple, dark green and semi-transparent, with half a piece of jade inside. One side is carved with the pattern of half a cauldron, which seems to be the same as the one she saw in the peach grove of Xuandu Temple before.

Qin Yunze stared intently at Jiang Yi, his face filled with astonishment, his Adam's apple bobbing. He watched as the shadow of that mountain crushed the Thousand-Bearded Poison Toad, who possessed the strength of the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment, into a pulp. Even he found such power terrifying.

Qin Yunyan, Zhang Jincheng, and Zhang Jinling all had different expressions, but they were all shocked—utterly shocked.

This little Qi Refining cultivator, who was ordered around, suppressed and bullied by them all the way, actually had such a deadly move hidden in his hand.
She also said she wasn't a sword cultivator?

The spirit boat shook, and everyone came to their senses.

"The spirit boat can't hold on any longer, get out of here!"

Qin Yunze seized the time to urge the damaged spirit boat forward, and before the hull was completely corroded and disintegrated by the poison, the group finally crashed onto the lake shore.

Zhang Jincheng's face was ashen, and the poisonous blood had spread to his neck. Zhang Jinling tore off her sleeve and tightly tied it to his wound, while she rummaged through her storage bag for the medicinal herbs she had picked in the herb garden earlier.

Qin Yunyan staggered to her feet, half of her charred body still smoking. She stared at the shattered Xuanbing Mirror talisman in Qin Yunze's hand and suddenly laughed. The laughter was even more chilling than the shriek of the poisonous toad.

Jiang Yi was quite interested in the upcoming family drama. She used her cleansing spell to remove the dirt from her body, took out a chair, sat down opposite the group, put her hands in her pockets, and waited for the show to begin!
When asked why she suddenly stopped acting,
Because the timing was perfect, if she hadn't taken the opportunity to eliminate the Thousand-Bearded Poison Toad, she would have had to fight Zhao Cangyun and the others again later.

Too much trouble, too lazy to type!
Moreover, given the current relationship and atmosphere among these four people, she's already too lazy to act anymore; she's tired of acting.

　I think I've written over 10,000 words today. I have some things to do this afternoon, see you tomorrow~
