Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 270 The Great Battle. (Second Update!)

Amidst a deafening roar, the entire guest room was blasted into dust, turning into a cloud of smog that drifted down.

Zheng Que's figure flashed and he appeared on the roof of the next guest room.

Wow…

The tall ginkgo tree in the courtyard was affected; its branches swayed, and leaves fell in a rustling sound.

Whoosh...

At that moment, five pale blue flames broke through the suspended dust and returned to Chen Zhentao's head, shoulders, and palms.

Seeing this, Zheng Que took a deep breath, his two arms trembled slightly, as if splitting, and in an instant, four identical arms stretched out.

Immediately afterwards, he held a soul-summoning banner in one hand and a black silk umbrella in the other, while constantly changing the shape of his hand, forming one hand seal after another.

As Zheng Que unleashed his power, two crimson heads immediately flew out of the Soul Nourishing Bag, howling as they charged toward Chen Zhentao.

The two heads were shrouded in intense malevolent and yin energy, exuding a chilling killing intent.

This is the [Blood Skull Technique]!
At the same time, Zheng Que began to shake the soul-summoning banner vigorously. As the banner fluttered, a large group of ghosts surged out again and rushed towards Chen Zhentao.

Then, Zheng Que's fourth arm simultaneously cast a spell.

The moment the incantation was made, the eyes of the ghosts rushing towards Chen Zhentao instantly became clear, as if they had regained their memories and intelligence from their previous lives. Their lips opened and closed, as if they wanted to say something, but this clarity lasted only a moment. The next moment, the ghosts' bodies rapidly contracted, instantly shrinking into the shape of an ordinary fruit.

A powerful yin energy begins to accumulate inside the fruit.

This is the [Soul Explosion] technique!
Zheng Que's last two arms suddenly stretched out, spanning a multitude of objects, and grabbed directly at Chen Zhentao.

At the same moment, a rough hemp rope appeared out of thin air around Chen Zhentao's neck and then tightened rapidly.

Whoosh!
The next moment, Chen Zhentao's figure instantly appeared ten feet away, dodging the tightening rope.

The two pale blue flames in his hands immediately shot out, heading towards Zheng Que's two bloody skulls.

Chen Zhentao's storage bag opened spontaneously, and countless talismans flew out, shooting towards the ghosts that were rushing towards him and self-destructing.

Boom boom boom boom…

boom! ! !
The Soul Explosion Technique frequently clashed with the talismans, stirring up bursts of smoke and dust.

Two bloodied skulls rolled limply to the ground, still burning with pale blue flames.

Zheng Que stretched out his two arms, aiming clearly at Chen Zhentao's head, but Chen Zhentao blocked them firmly with his hands.

Zheng Que's body was enveloped in Yin energy, and he suddenly used Ku Lan's Yin technique, [Evil Power]!
In an instant, his arm strength increased greatly, and Chen Zhentao, who was blocking Zheng Que's hands, was involuntarily pressed downwards.

But soon, the flames on his head and shoulders instantly spread to his arms.

The pale blue flames, as if alive, quickly spread from Chen Zhentao's arms to Zheng Que's arms.

sizzle...

These flames caused no harm to Chen Zhentao, but as soon as they touched Zheng Que, they began to burn his flesh. Accompanied by the sound of his skin and flesh being scorched, Zheng Que immediately felt waves of pain coming from the places on his arms that were stained with the pale blue flames. His yin energy was rapidly depleted, like snow meeting the sun.

He was in so much pain that he immediately stopped and opened his mouth, letting out a sharp, piercing shriek.

"what!!!"

The shriek was sharp and piercing. The pale blue flames around Chen Zhentao were instantly struck as if by a heavy blow, and were shaken so badly that they swayed and flickered for a while.

This is a soul howl!

Seeing Zheng Que's hands about to slip out of his grasp, Chen Zhentao abruptly released his grip, instantly withdrawing all the flames. In a flash, he appeared beside Zheng Que and struck him in the chest with a palm strike. Zheng Que had no time to defend himself. Grabbing the Soul-Summoning Banner, he swung it around like a spear, smashing it down on Chen Zhentao's head.

Bang!
boom! !

Zheng Que was immediately sent flying backward, crashing directly into a brick wall, causing half of the courtyard wall to collapse. His body split the ruins in two, carving a furrow in the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"puff!"

Zheng Que immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning red and white in turns, indicating that he had suffered serious internal injuries.

He stood up abruptly, took a deep breath of the surrounding yin energy, and his injuries immediately began to heal.

This is a Yin technique, [Eating Yin]!
At the same time, Chen Zhentao was also sent flying backward, his body crashing into the ruins and knocking down the two empty houses that were connected together.

Step, step, step...

Chen Zhentao walked out of the empty room step by step. At this moment, there was a hole in his head, and blood was slowly flowing down his cheeks and chin. He looked very fierce, and his aura was getting stronger and stronger. The killing intent in his eyes was so strong that it seemed to be tangible.

clack clack...

At this moment, the damaged environment, guest rooms, walls, furniture... all quickly recovered, returning to normal in the blink of an eye, as if they had never been damaged.

Without saying a word, Chen Zhentao charged at Zheng Que once again.

Zheng Que's expression was unusually solemn. He immediately raised an arm and pointed it at Chen Zhentao. A beam of condensed black energy shot out and instantly struck Chen Zhentao.

Boom boom boom...

※※※

Xuanyuan Pavilion.

In front of the sect leader's cave.

Seeing his subordinates embracing their four women, Chen Zhentao felt a surge of murderous intent and could no longer contain himself. He coldly shouted, "Zheng Que, you're courting death!"

As he spoke, he slapped Zheng Que with his palm.

boom! ! !
Boom boom boom...

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

However, Chen Zhentao originally thought this would be a one-sided battle, but unexpectedly, Zheng Que was skilled and managed to block his attack by only slightly losing ground.

More importantly, the four women he was holding onto hadn't let go even during the fierce fight!
Chen Zhentao's expression suddenly turned extremely ferocious, and his killing intent intensified. He roared angrily, "Zheng Que!"

"Don't think that you can contend with me just because you've mastered a few minor tricks!"

"Since I was able to rescue you from the Wanshan Temple back then, I can kill you now too!"

"I, Chen Zhentao, am the number one among the younger generation of the six sects, and the next sect leader chosen by the Xuanyuan Pavilion long ago!"

"Among those of the same realm, none can rival me!"

As he spoke, a dense golden light erupted from his body. This golden light was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, making it impossible to see the specific situation. After a while, the strong light dissipated, and the remaining golden light wriggled and changed, instantly revealing dense runes that surrounded Chen Zhentao, making his divine power even more apparent.

Immediately afterwards, these runes rapidly converged in his palm, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a magnificent longsword.

Chen Zhentao, wielding a long sword, slashed fiercely at Zheng Que.

boom! ! !
