Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 335 Deceptive Tactics (First Update!)

This world.

In Taiping County, the ground is cracked like a giant mouth, with jagged gaps resembling interlocking canine teeth.

Mu Xiangu, her dress fluttering, stood alone at the edge of the platform. Her outstretched arm, like a giant folding fan, slammed down on the rising Iron Tree Prison below.

Boom boom boom!
The "weird" creature, which had just burst out of the abyss, was suddenly blocked in its path. Every skull that had gathered into a human face stared intently at Mu Xian Gu with its dark eye sockets, its resentment almost tangible.

A major battle immediately broke out between the two sides.

Ping Pong Pong...

Amidst the deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, and within the already desolate city, more and more ruins collapsed, raising clouds of dust.

Ink, like a sudden downpour, splashed across the sky, eroding and assimilating everything it touched.

Soon, the sound of water flowing on the ground gathered into pools of varying sizes.

Although the Ghost Bride did not join forces with him, the "Strange" Iron Tree Prison was seriously injured earlier, and even though Mu Xian Gu was fighting alone, he quickly gained the upper hand.

boom! !

Mu Xiangu's huge, pale arm slammed down, piercing through the "weird" shell of the Iron Tree Prison with lightning speed.

【Iron Tree Prison】"Weirdness" was once again thrown into the abyss below the platform, like a kite with a broken string.

Many of the skulls that made up the face were also broken.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiangu flipped her wrist, and the brush, soaked in ink, made a stroke in the air. A large area of ​​pitch-black ink appeared, and with the flow of the brush, it transformed into dense, strangely shaped ink ghosts, like billowing smoke, chasing each other all the way to the bottom of the abyss.

At the same time, the huge, pale arms that reached out from behind her continued to slap towards the "weird" [Iron Tree Prison] in the abyss.

Rumble…

The deafening roar echoed below the cliff, and the entire Taiping County and its suburbs trembled violently as if the earth were shaking. The wind howled at the bottom of the abyss, and black mist billowed like the tide.

【Iron Tree Prison】The “weird” was constantly being broken down, and the skulls collapsed, shattered, and faded away, turning into debris and falling into the deepest part of the abyss.

It was like cloth riddled with holes by insects, a pitiful sight.

With a flick of his sleeves, Mu Xiangu stood in mid-air, gazing down into the abyss.

Her gaze pierced through the distance and the black mist, instantly seeing the densely packed, mountain-like bones at the bottom, yet she saw no trace of the "strange" aura of the [Iron Tree Prison]. Her brows furrowed immediately. Was it resolved?
It doesn't seem quite right!
Just then, the black mist swirling at the bottom of the abyss suddenly surged violently. In the blink of an eye, the black mist collapsed into a giant ghost hand, which suddenly stretched out and grabbed at Mu Xian Gu.

Bang! !

With a loud bang, the spot where Mu Xiangu had just stepped into the air was instantly shattered by the ghostly hand.

However, when the ghostly hand was spread out, it was completely empty.

The figure in the ivory-yellow dress appeared at the edge of the platform, then turned to look at the bottom of the abyss again.

Bang, bang, bang...

Accompanied by a sound like surging waves, a huge, human-faced monster slowly rose from the bottom of the pit.

It was that "strange" Iron Tree Prison!
Its appearance has changed dramatically: the pitted and riddled wounds that were just now have all grown pustules.

These pustules have extremely thin skin, allowing you to clearly see the yellow-green pus inside.

The enormous human face that was originally terrifying now appears to be multicolored, with an uneven and grotesque surface. Even the aura of the [Iron Tree Prison] has become extremely chaotic.

Seeing this, Mu Xiangu's expression immediately became serious.

This "weird" creature had very low intelligence, but at this moment it gave her a very dangerous feeling. The next moment, the human face opened its mouth and let out a shrill roar, and the ghostly hand reached out and attacked Mu Xiangu.

Boom boom boom...

※※※

Taiping County, suburbs.

The ghostly body, resembling the King of Hell, continued to expand, and as it grew larger, more and more pustules and tumors appeared on its body.

Fine lines gradually emerged on these pustules and lumps. These lines were discontinuous and complex, giving people a sense of ancient brushstrokes depicting the outlines of insects and birds.

All the patterns combined resembled imperial edict runes, but the aura they conveyed was entirely different.

clap clap clap...

At this moment, accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, several pustules and tumors on the ghost's body burst open and fell off.

The moment these abscesses and tumors hit the ground, they were swallowed up by the earth in the blink of an eye, just like heavy objects sinking into water.

The ground around them changed instantly.

The weeds instantly transformed into slender, resilient tendrils, which rapidly sprouted rows of suckers that waved in the air, seemingly searching for something to cling to and entwine.

The moment the distortion appeared, it spread in all directions like a flood breaking through a dam.

Grass and trees transformed into tendrils; streams flowed into pus; stones wriggled and became flesh and blood; and crimson vertical pupils cracked open in the crevices... Soon, this scene spread throughout Taiping County.

The collapsed city wall rose up with a loud bang, once again becoming a barrier between the inside and outside.

However, this square city wall was actually made of flesh and blood, and it was still writhing, flowing with sticky blood and pus.

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

As more and more pustules and tumors fell from the ghosts' bodies, the distorted land expanded more and more rapidly.

Just then, a giant hand suddenly appeared and slammed down on the ghostly creature.

boom! ! !
The ghostly creature, resembling the King of Hell, was slapped flat on the ground in the blink of an eye, as if it had been evenly smeared around the area.

A figure adorned in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown slowly emerged in mid-air—it was the ghost bride!
Seeing that this ghostly creature, which resembled the King of Hell, couldn't even withstand one of her attacks, a hint of doubt flashed in the beautiful eyes beneath the ghost bride's veil.

But soon, her expression turned serious.

The distortion of the earth has not stopped.

The ghost that she slapped into a thin membrane had its tumors and pustules rapidly reassemble after writhing, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to look like the King of Hell.

The ghostly creature was now as tall as a mountain, while the ghostly bride, suspended in mid-air, appeared as small as a bird before it.

He looked down at the ghost bride, and from behind the tassels, he let out a deep, resounding voice: "Guilty!"

The voice came like a thunderous roar, filled with a powerful and intimidating force.

The ghost bride was suddenly struck by a strange shock, as if she had committed heinous crimes and was about to face a great calamity. She felt as if she should immediately kneel down, submit to her fate, and submit to being killed.

But then, the token with the character "使" (meaning "envoy") on her waist flickered with a faint light, and deep within the ghost bride's pupils, a pattern identical to the character on the token appeared. She immediately broke free from the shock and coldly said, "Mere ghostly tricks, utterly laughable!"

"Does he really think he's that person?"

As she spoke, she immediately reached out and grabbed at the mountain-sized ghost in front of her.
