Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 339 Parasite. (First Update!)

Upon hearing this, Qingli initially wanted to speak up for Niannu to refuse, but when she heard that it was the body of that human female cultivator, she didn't think there was any problem with it.

Anyway, if anything happens, it will be the female cultivator who gets into trouble.

If that female cultivator dies, she can be reborn in her banner as a second life...

So Qingli immediately said, "Niannu, when you suck, suck it all into this human female cultivator's stomach, don't suck it into your own stomach."

"I'll keep an eye on things for you!"

As she spoke, Qingli manipulated the ghost rope to lower Gao Yinxia's body down.

Niannu immediately replied, "Yes, Lady Qingli!"

Immediately afterwards, she walked to Gao Yinxia's side and used the [Invasion] skill.

Gao Yinxia is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a major sect. Under normal circumstances, Niannu's [Invasion] would not be effective against a target whose cultivation level is much higher than her own.

However, Gao Yinxia's cultivation was sealed and her soul was not in her body, so after Niannu used [Invasion], she easily gained control of Gao Yinxia's body.

Soon, Gao Yinxia's body stood up. After taking a couple of slightly stiff steps, her movements returned to normal. Under Niannu's control, she walked directly towards Zheng Que.

Zheng Que was sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a thick layer of blood mist that surged like a tide. This was a temporary restriction set up by the ghost bride to prevent Zheng Que from being disturbed while he was cultivating.

Perhaps because Niannu was Zheng Que's ghost servant, she controlled Gao Yinxia's body and entered the blood mist very smoothly.

However, just as Niannu bent down slightly, preparing to suck out the pustules from Zheng Que's body, the wriggling tumors and pustules on Zheng Que's body disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and he returned to normal.

Looking at the normal flesh and blood so close at hand, Niannu immediately turned her head and looked at the other female ghosts questioningly.

Shu Yunying immediately reminded, "The sudden appearance of those pustules and tumors just now may mean that there are more than just the ones that are exposed."

“Shuque’s safety is very important. Take off his clothes and check him carefully.”

Upon hearing this, Niannu immediately nodded and began to manipulate Gao Yinxia's body to remove Zheng Que's clothes one by one.

Taiping County, the outskirts.

Under the cover of night, there seemed to be turbulent undercurrents in the void.

The ghost bride stood in mid-air, waving her hands repeatedly. Her wide sleeves fluttered like flags, and her elaborate wedding dress and gorgeous veil danced in the strong wind.

Before him, crimson palm energy swept across the sky, crashing down like a tidal wave.

Boom boom boom...

The earth trembled violently, cracks crisscrossed, and tendrils formed from grass and trees collapsed in the aftershocks of the battle.

Within the crevices, sand and gravel, along with spring water and sulfur, surged and billowed, resembling smog that permeated the heavens and earth.

【Nine Netherworld Treasures】The parasitic ghost was smashed to pieces, collapsing like sand and scattered all over the ground.

But it quickly reformed.

At this moment, the ghost's yin energy had been almost completely depleted. Although it still maintained its massive, mountain-like appearance and resembled the King of Hell, the chaotic aura that once terrified all living beings had gradually faded, and it began to reveal its peak cultivation level of [Scissors Prison].

Suddenly, a figure in a yellowish-brown dress appeared not far from the ghost bride. Her features were delicate, her lips were bright red, and her aura was chilling. It was Mu Xian Gu.

Gazing at the raging battlefield before her, Mu Xiangu frowned and said in a deep voice, "How come the peak of the [Scissors Prison] has taken so long to resolve?" The Ghost Bride shook her head slightly and calmly replied, "The key is not that ghost, but the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]."

"This [Nine Netherworld Treasure] somehow gained some of the power of the underworld."

"We must not use ghost techniques, dark arts, or any other spells now."

"Use the simplest fists and palms to exhaust its yin energy..."

Before she could speak, the massive, mountain-like ghost's head suddenly split open, along with its entire crown, which was cleaved in two. The piece of wood embedded between its eyebrows instantly flew out and headed straight for Mu Xian Gu!

Whoosh!
The wood shattered at incredible speed, reaching a point not far from Mu Xiangu in the blink of an eye.

Mu Xiangu reacted quickly, and in an instant, her figure flashed and she disappeared from the spot.

Without hesitation, the ghost bride immediately struck the broken wood with her palm.

The crimson palm strike, accompanied by a surging blood mist, roared and swept in.

boom! ! !
The palm struck the broken wood solidly, producing a deafening roar.

The broken wood withstood the blow, yet remained suspended in mid-air, completely still; only the yin energy on it was slightly diminished.

The next moment, the wood shards streaked across the sky, leaving long, whitish trails, before disappearing back into the brow of the enormous ghost.

Just then, Mu Xiangu slammed a punch down on the enormous ghost.

The fist strike was silent and stealthy, yet it created ripples in the air, like waves of air roaring as it hurtled toward its target.

boom! ! !
The enormous ghost was smashed into the ground by the punch, and with a burst of mud and sand flying everywhere, it disintegrated like the wind in an instant. The black and gray mist flowed around and merged into the yin energy that permeated the world, and disappeared.

But soon, on the open ground not far away, the distorted tentacles intertwined and writhed, and after a rapid wriggling, they once again coalesced into the shape of a huge ghost.

Seeing this, Mu Xiangu frowned slightly. As she continued her attack, she said, "This is the 'weird' ghost technique of that [Iron Tree Prison]!"

"As long as there is a trace of resentment left in Taiping County, it can be constantly re-coalesced through these resentments."

"At this rate, although we will definitely be able to exhaust the Yin energy of this [Nine Netherworld Treasure], it will be difficult to resolve it before 9 PM."

Although Mu Xiangu was not very familiar with the human cultivation system, she knew just as much about ghosts as the Ghost Bride.

As she spoke, she once again obliterated the enormous ghost.

Whoosh!
Before the enormous ghost could reform, the tiny piece of wood shot out again, heading straight for Mu Xian Gu's brow, just like before.

Mu Xiangu hurriedly dodged. She could clearly sense that once she was touched by that [Nine Netherworld Treasure], she would become just as "unpredictable" as that [Iron Tree Prison] from before!
Even worse!

How strange!
This [Nine Netherworld Treasures] seems to be targeting me. Why not go find the ghost bride?
Boom boom...

After being struck by a palm and a punch from the Ghost Bride and Mu Xiangu respectively, the Broken Wood swayed and once again disappeared back into the brow of the enormous ghost that had reformed.

Just as Mu Xiangu was about to make another move, the Ghost Bride's voice suddenly reached her ears: "This [Nine Netherworld Treasure] desperately wants to possess you!"

"This is an opportunity!"

"Don't move from here on out, let this [Nine Netherworld Treasure] take hold!"
