Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 269 Possessed by Four Ghosts. (First Update!)

Wanshan Temple, Crane Rest Hall.

Room.

Sizzle!

With a crisp tearing sound, Zheng Que felt a chill on his chest as several layers of clothing were ripped open at the same time. He immediately reached out and wrapped his arms around Ku Lan's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Ku Lan cooperated fully, quickly removing Zheng Que's other clothes while saying firmly, "Young master, don't open your eyes, I am Qing Li!"

Zheng Que was already familiar with Ku Lan's routine, and his hands immediately began to grope Ku Lan's body without any restraint.

However, just as the two were about to begin their formal training...

Bang! ! !
The tightly closed door was pushed open, and a familiar figure strode in from outside.

Zheng Que frowned immediately. Was it Lu Maohong who had returned?
He had just told them not to come in, no matter what they heard, so why now...?

Before the thought had even died down, Zheng Que immediately saw the appearance of the person who had just arrived. The person was wearing a copper-green brocade robe with bamboo patterns, and a belt around the waist that was covered with various exquisite objects. He had long eyebrows and bright eyes, a slightly dark complexion, and a surging aura around him.

This is not Lu Maohong, but Chen Zhentao from Xuanyuan Pavilion!
Zheng Que was slightly taken aback. Chen Zhentao had already successfully established his foundation?
wrong!

Although the opponent's aura is indeed very powerful, he has not yet truly entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, the tribulation clouds representing the inner demons still cling tightly to the entire Wanshan Temple, dark and obscuring the moonlight, and have not yet dissipated.

The other party is still going through a mental ordeal!

But... this isn't their room, so how did they open the door?
Meanwhile, Ku Lan completely ignored Chen Zhentao's intentions. She held up the black silk umbrella with one hand, partially blocking her and Zheng Que's figures, while continuing to untie Zheng Que's belt with the other.

The next moment, Chen Zhentao's face showed an expression of uncontrollable rage. He immediately raised his hand and slammed a palm down on Zheng Que's head.

The palm strike was powerful and unstoppable, like a raging storm, exuding immense power. Even before it touched Zheng Que, it had already shaken the entire guest room. The dust and cobwebs in the room vanished in an instant, and the furniture flew out as if made of paper, crashing against the walls with a series of loud bangs before piling up in a chaotic mess.

Zheng Que's pupils dilated slightly, and his vision seemed to suddenly darken. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the warning of death appeared once again!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately used the [Phantom Escape Technique].

boom! !

The bed shattered into pieces in an instant, sending the bedding flying backward and smashing a pile of items behind it to pieces, scattering debris all over the room.

The shockwave from the palm strike continued its relentless spread in all directions.

Zheng Que appeared in a corner of the room, his face slightly pale, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered internal injuries.

He had just managed to dodge Chen Zhentao's palm strike, but his current injury was caused by the shockwave generated by the force of Chen's palm.

Zheng Que was immediately horrified. Chen Zhentao had almost killed him with a single palm strike before he had even successfully established his foundation!
In the past few days, he had also seen Lu Maohong, who was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining, make a move, but he was far from being as good as Chen Zhentao.

In a flash, Zheng Que opened the Soul-Nourishing Bag and released Shu Yunying, Qing Li, and Nian Nu together.

The next moment, the figures of three ghost servants quietly appeared in the guest room.

Ku Lan, who had just dodged that palm strike as well, also appeared beside Zheng Que.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zheng Que immediately cast a strange spell and began to perform the [Spirit Descent Technique].

The four ghost servants were immediately summoned, transforming into streaks of blood-red light and entering his body. In the blink of an eye, dense patterns appeared on his body, interspersed with black, white, red, silver, pink, and yellow, as if a bucket of five-colored lacquer had been overturned. His whole body was colorful and extremely strange.

At the same time, four heads sprouted from his left and right shoulders. The two heads on his left, each with a purplish-red mark on its chin, were Qing Li and Nian Nu; the two heads on his right were Ku Lan and Shu Yun Ying. With the four ghost servants possessing him simultaneously, Zheng Que immediately felt the power within his body become extremely terrifying. Every move he made was filled with a sense of immense power, and all the species-related talents, ghost skills, and Yin arts of the four ghost servants appeared in his mind.

He was certain that if he were to encounter the ghostly creature of the "Scissors Prison" from the painting world in the gathering, he would be able to defeat it!
At this moment, Chen Zhentao, who had been standing still, suddenly exuded a murderous aura and struck Zheng Que with another palm.

The palm strike was sharp and whistling, shaking the entire guest room so badly that grass clippings, dust, and broken tiles kept falling from the roof. Zheng Que once again felt the shadow of death looming over him. This palm strike was even stronger than the opponent's first one!
Zheng Que snapped out of his daze, not having time to study the methods of the four ghost servants, and immediately struck out with his own palm to meet the oncoming palm wind.

His palm strike was enveloped in a strong, eerie wind. As soon as it was unleashed, the already dimly lit room seemed to be swallowed up by all the light, and the temperature plummeted at the same time, with mottled frost appearing on the ground.

boom! ! !
The two palm strikes collided solidly, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

Thump thump thump... Zheng Que was immediately shaken and staggered backward, crashing heavily into the wall.

Chen Zhentao swayed and stumbled back a few steps.

Watching this scene, Zheng Que frowned. Although Chen Zhentao had not yet successfully established his foundation, his current strength seemed to be even stronger than that of ordinary [Scissors Prison] ghosts!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately waved the soul-summoning banner. As the banner flipped, gusts of soul wind were blown out and attacked Chen Zhentao.

At the same moment, ghosts swarmed out from the banner, crowding around it like a tide.

Zheng Que coldly ordered, "Kill!"

The next moment, the numerous ghosts, following Zheng Que's command, charged towards Chen Zhentao fearlessly.

He had not yet fully refined the Soul-Summoning Banner. Under normal circumstances, he could only control the ghosts in the banner through the main soul of the banner. But now, in the "Spirit Descent" state, he could directly use the identity of the main soul to command all the ghosts in the banner.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

One after another, strangely shaped ghosts, baring their fangs and claws, rushed towards Chen Zhentao. Amidst the surging yin energy, their claws and sharp teeth reflected a cold, gleaming light in the darkness.

Chen Zhentao immediately cast a spell, and a complex pattern instantly appeared beneath his feet. As soon as it appeared, it underwent a rapid transformation, quickly evolving into eight runes representing the trigrams Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. These runes rose up, floating and changing in mid-air.

Boom boom boom...

All the ghosts rushing towards Chen Zhentao, upon approaching the formation, immediately seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, unable to advance an inch.

Even the spirit wind from the summoning banner, which reached Chen Zhentao, was firmly blocked by this formation.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhentao changed his hand seals, and his aura surged once more.

The magic circle beneath its feet began to expand, and the surrounding ghosts immediately fell into the range of the magic circle. The next moment, their Yin energy seemed to be sealed, and they all became motionless.

boom! !

With a single palm strike, Chen Zhentao shattered all the ghostly creatures within the formation, rendering them utterly vulnerable and instantly obliterating them.

Zheng Que frowned. A large number of ghosts in the Soul-Summoning Banner were destroyed, and the Yin energy in the banner dropped sharply. The power of the Soul-Summoning Banner seemed to have decreased as well!
At this moment, a pale blue flame suddenly rose above Chen Zhentao's head. The flame was bright and clear, like a tender bud in early spring, full of vitality, and it also seemed to contain a domineering and unrestrained power that swept across all directions.

The instant this ball of flame appeared, crack crack crack...

A series of subtle sounds rang out, and two identical clusters of firelight lit up on his shoulders. Then, Chen Zhentao opened his arms, palms facing upwards, and as he spread his fingers, two pale blue flames rose above his palms.

Five flames floated in mid-air, burning silently.

Chen Zhentao flipped his palms over, and five pale blue flames shot towards Zheng Que like arrows released from a bow.

Boom boom boom...
