Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 133 Fierce Battle. (Second Update!)

Zheng Li immediately stepped back towards a red silk umbrella floating in mid-air nearby, and hurriedly said, "Young Miss! No matter who is going to take over the Soul-Summoning Banner, we must go to the Soul-Summoning Banner first."

"Since that's the case, why rush into fighting amongst ourselves now? Let's stop immediately and find the Soul-Summoning Banner first!"

The girl with her hair in a high bun remained calm, paying no attention to Zheng Que. Her robes fluttered without wind, and a strong yin energy rose up. This yin energy quickly gathered in mid-air into a huge black ghost hand, which almost filled the entire fighting arena when it opened, grabbing at the many red silk umbrellas around her.

brush brush...

In an instant, countless silk umbrellas were swatted down by the ghostly hand, as if a rapid rain of blood had fallen out of nowhere.

The ghostly hand spun like the wind, sweeping away countless enemies in an instant.

But soon, more red silk umbrellas floated above the girl with her hair in a high bun, and in the blink of an eye, they completely covered her.

The bright red umbrella, like blood and fire, gathered like clouds, staining the girl's dark dress with a faint crimson hue.

Under the graceful canopy of the silk umbrella, a ball of pitch-black flames instantly ignited around the girl with her hair in a high bun.

The flames had an eerie color; they appeared to be burning intensely, but they emitted no heat whatsoever, instead conveying a chilling, bone-deep aura.

This is Kulan's sinister technique, [Strange Fire]!
However, these flames had just been lit and hadn't even had a chance to burn properly when, as if receiving some command, they suddenly transformed into streams of fire, like rivers flowing into the sea, all of which rushed into the mouth of the girl with her high-bun hairstyle and were swallowed whole.

The next moment, the girl with her hair in a high bun opened her mouth and spat out a huge black fireball at the many red silk umbrellas that were covering her.

The fireball, like a hammer, pounded heavily on the overlapping silk umbrellas in front of them.

boom! ! !
With a deafening roar, countless silk umbrellas were reduced to ashes in the instant of the explosion, dissipating into a sky full of yin energy and disappearing without a trace.

The black fireball, its momentum undiminished, exploded like a rain of fire, scattering around and quickly incinerating all the red silk umbrellas it touched.

The once countless red silk umbrellas that floated in the sky were reduced to a mere fraction in the blink of an eye, becoming sparse and scattered.

The remaining silk umbrellas immediately moved aside, away from the embers of the black fireball.

A figure in red robes emerged from under one of the red silk umbrellas.

But as soon as Kulan revealed herself, the girl with her hair in a high bun immediately raised her hand and pointed at her.

A condensed stream of black energy pierced through Ku Lan's body in an instant.

The withered orchid's silhouette vanished in an instant, along with the red silk umbrella she had chosen.

Under another red silk umbrella, the silhouette of Kulan emerged.

Just as the girl with her hair in a high bun was about to point at him again, Zheng Que once again drew out an imperial edict from between his eyebrows and pointed it at the girl with her hair in a high bun.

In a flash, the girl with her hair in a high bun raised her hand and summoned a ghostly figure resembling an old woman, which stood in front of her.

The decree plunged into the old woman ghost's body, and the old woman ghost immediately froze, the pattern between her eyebrows flickering, her eyes staring blankly, as she began to accept the decree.

Seeing this, Zheng Que frowned and immediately spoke again, "Miss, finding the Soul-Summoning Banner is the priority!"

"The original main soul in the summoning banner is now also vying for the position of main soul."

"If this drags on any longer, how will the clan's grand plan proceed?"

The girl with her high-bun hairstyle seemed oblivious and continued attacking Ku Lan. At the same moment, Ku Lan gently twirled her silk umbrella, and amidst the layers of umbrella shadows, countless silk umbrellas split open again, floating into the air like dandelions in spring, filling the field of vision.

The arena, which had just been cleared out and turned into a gloomy fighting arena, seemed to have been painted with a bold, bright red stroke by an artist.

A surge of yin energy erupted around the girl with her hair in a high bun, and the enormous ghostly hand reappeared above her head, its five fingers like claws, enveloping the entire ghost-fighting arena.

The other ghosts in the stands no longer cared about the situation in the lotus-shaped depression and all looked toward the two sides engaged in fierce combat.

Amidst the billowing red umbrellas, a chilling aura permeates the air; a ghostly hand hangs in the sky, its malevolent energy surging forth.

Boom boom boom...

The two ghosts fought without exchanging a single word.

Kulan's current cultivation level is inferior to that of the girl with the high-bun hairstyle, and she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. However, as an "evil spirit" who has been granted a title, she is extremely troublesome with her endless methods and the abilities of the underworld. The girl with the high-bun hairstyle made several attempts, but she was still unable to kill her.

Seeing that the girl with the high bun was specifically chasing after Ku Lan and didn't seem to intend to attack him for the time being, Zheng Que understood that this was because his current identity was still that of a member of the Shu Family Fortress, and the main soul created by the Shu Family Fortress didn't truly consider him an enemy.

However, even so, if things continue like this, neither he nor Kulan will escape their doom!
In a flash, Zheng Que suddenly remembered something. Immediately, he imitated the patriarch of the "strange" dwelling in the family quarters, raised an arm, pointed at the girl with her hair in a high bun, and said in a deep voice, "You! Are you willing to serve the family?"

The girl with the high bun, who was being pointed at, clearly paused, instinctively stopped what she was doing, and looked at Zheng Que.

This trick really worked!

Zheng Que was certain that although the main soul created by the Shu family fortress retained its memories from its previous life, it was not very bright and could not reason with the other party. He could only use the words that the head of the Shu family fortress had once said to pressure the other party.

However, while the girl with the high bun stopped, Ku Lan showed no intention of stopping. She immediately seized the opportunity, her red-clad figure rushing to the girl's front in an instant, pressing her head down with both hands and twisting it backward.

Zheng Que's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shouted, "Kulan, come back!"

At the same moment, the girl with her hair in a high bun looked away from Zheng Que, instantly shaking off the influence of his words. She covered her mouth with her sleeve and let out another series of laughs: "Hehehe...hehe..."

"Hehe...hehehehe..."

Just as the great battle was about to break out again, Zheng Que was about to repeat the words of the head of the Shu family when suddenly, the girl with her hair in a high bun seemed to realize something, and her laughter stopped abruptly.

The next moment, his head, which had been twisted behind his back, snapped back to normal. He looked at Zheng Que and exclaimed urgently, "Something's wrong!"

"There are other ghosts trying to take your place as the main soul."

"quick!"

"Quickly, come with me to get the Soul-Summoning Banner!"

As they spoke, the girl with her hair in a high bun seemed to have forgotten the battle between them. She rushed to Zheng Que, grabbed his wrist, and turned to rush out of the fighting arena.

The girl with her high-bun hairstyle moved incredibly fast, far faster than when she fought Ku Lan earlier. Zheng Que didn't have time to react before his body was pulled off balance and dragged into the tunnel they had come from.

Kulan was a step too slow and failed to stop the girl with her hair in a high bun. The numerous red silk umbrellas that had been fluttering in the sky instantly gathered together and returned to a single red silk umbrella.

A figure in a red dress and skirt appeared under the umbrella. Ku Lan turned the umbrella and quickly chased after Zheng Que.
