Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 410: Another Battle with Qing Li. (Second Update!)

Boom boom boom...

Inside the spell testing room, muffled thuds continued.

The runes on the door glowed faintly from time to time.

After a short while, the commotion gradually subsided.

Inside, Niannu knelt on the ground, her hands, left knee, back... were all parasitized by the mutilated blood skull, which looked like blurry tumors growing on her body, or like her skin was torn open, with writhing flesh and blood that was glaringly visible and extremely terrifying.

At this moment, Niannu was breathing heavily. She wanted to get up, but the blood and gore covering her body was like a thick, rusted suit of armor, heavy and constantly tightening, pressing down on her from all sides, making it impossible for her to move.

Seeing this, Zheng Que changed his hand seals, and the blood skulls parasitizing Nian Nu instantly retracted their flesh buds and fell off on their own.

Once these bloodied skulls hit the ground, they immediately reverted to tattered pieces of flesh and blood, clearly unusable.

Niannu felt a lightness all over her body, and her mobility was restored.

She immediately stood up, bowed, and said respectfully, "My lord, I have lost."

Zheng Que nodded slightly upon hearing this.

During this period, Niannu has acquired a few more ghost skills and Yin arts, but compared with Qingli and Kulan, her methods are still too few to break his techniques.

In terms of strength and speed alone, Niannu's strength is no less than that of Dainanji of Qingyue Cliff!

“At the same level, Niannu should be stronger than a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Earth Rank.”

"But compared to a Heavenly-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's still somewhat inferior..."

"Moreover, all cultivators at the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment level possess 'Laws,' and if these 'Laws' are related to combat, their strength will be even greater."

After quickly summarizing the battle in his mind, Zheng Que calmly said, "Go and rest first, and call Qing Li in while you're at it."

Niannu immediately bowed and replied, "Yes!"

With that, she turned and left the spell testing room.

Not long after, Qingli floated in, and the door to the spell testing room closed on its own.

With her gaze sweeping across the surroundings, Qingli hovered in mid-air and asked rather rudely, "What is it, human brat?"

Zheng Que looked at the arrogant woman and smiled slightly. Just for the way Qing Li addressed him, he would definitely teach her a lesson later!
In a flash, Zheng Que said, "Wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took out another batch of corpse puppet heads from his storage bag and began practicing the [Blood Skull Technique] once again.

The nine blood skulls from earlier were completely used up in the battle with Niannu, so a new batch of blood skulls is needed now...

After some time, Zheng Que produced nine more blood skulls.

He put the blood-stained skulls into the Soul Nourishing Bag, then looked at Qing Li and said directly, "Qing Li, go all out and fight me."

"Same old rules as always, whoever is standing at the end wins..."

Before Zheng Que could finish speaking, Qing Li agreed without hesitation: "Okay!"

As she spoke, Qingli threw a punch at Zheng Que!
Its speed was incredibly fast and without any fancy moves, far surpassing Niannu's speed before she used [Riding the Wind].

In the blink of an eye, Qing Li's fist appeared in front of Zheng Que.

brush!
The next moment, Qing Li passed right through the afterimage left by Zheng Que, and her punch missed its mark.

Zheng Que's figure appeared not far away. Just as he was about to cast a spell to use the [Blood Skull Technique], a thick hemp rope appeared out of thin air around his neck.

The rope tightened suddenly, leaving no trace, and Zheng Que vanished in an instant.

Crackling sounds... Qingli's arm suddenly became extremely long and thin, and it immediately reached out to grab the spot where Zheng Que had appeared again.

Boom boom boom...

As Qingli's arms continued to multiply, every time Zheng Que's figure appeared, a pale arm would fall down, instantly turning into a blur before being swatted away by Qingli's arms.

For a time, Zheng Que was forced to continuously use the [Phantom Escape Technique], running around the room trying to evade.

However, no matter how Zheng Que used the [Phantom Escape Technique], he couldn't find an opportunity to cast the spell in a short period of time.

Qing Li's current cultivation level is the fourth level of [Scissors Prison], only one level higher than Nian Nu, but when they actually fought, she gave him a strong sense of pressure!
Boom boom boom...

At this moment, Zheng Que suddenly stopped and did not dodge, while simultaneously casting a complex hand seal.

clang! ! !
Qingli's palm struck Zheng Que like a ghost, but was blocked by a dark, vine-like object.

This is the Golden Cicada Armor!
The next moment, Zheng Que opened the Soul Nourishing Bag at his waist, releasing bursts of bloodthirsty energy.

Knowing that Qingli was stronger than Niannu, Zheng Que immediately used his Dao Foundation to enhance the power of the Blood Skull Technique.

The nine blood skulls simultaneously unleashed a powerful baleful aura, their dense yin energy bursting forth with ferocity. As soon as they left the Soul Nourishing Bag, they flew towards Qing Li like swallows returning to their nests.

All of Qingli's arms and nails instantly lengthened and became extremely sharp, slicing towards the blood-red skull rushing towards her.

brush brush...

Qingli was using the ghostly technique [Jealousy Finger] at this moment, and in just a moment, all nine heads were shattered by Qingli.

But just like Niannu before, these shredded blood skulls immediately parasitized Qingli's arm.

Qingli immediately felt that the hand that was parasitized on her suddenly became extremely heavy, as if it contained a thousand pounds, and she could hardly lift it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Que cast another spell, and four slowly flickering flames immediately appeared on the top of his head, his left and right shoulders, and his chest.

This is the [Heavenly Wheel Mystic Fire Technique]!
At this moment, the Yin energy on Qingli's body suddenly erupted, and an arm that was not parasitized by the Blood Skull instantly sliced ​​through all the parasitized Blood Skulls on her arms.

Puff puff……

All the parasitic blood skulls that Qingli scratched with her fingernails immediately seemed to be poisoned. After a rapid twisting, they turned into yellow-green pus, which slowly dripped down Qingli's palm, emitting a pungent smell.

This is Qing Li's ghostly technique, [Strange Poison]!
At the same time, four balls of mysterious fire around Zheng Que suddenly flew out and rushed towards Qing Li.

Qingli immediately opened her mouth and exhaled gusts of chilling soul wind.

The soul wind howled and swirled, colliding solidly with the four clusters of mysterious fire.

Boom boom boom boom…

With a series of loud explosions, the soul wind dissipated in the blink of an eye, and the four balls of mysterious fire that were suspended in mid-air were all pushed back.

Qingli's two arms immediately disappeared into the ground.

The next moment, countless ghostly hands appeared beneath Zheng Que's feet.

These ghostly hands stretched out their palms and grabbed his feet, thighs, waist and abdomen... and then exerted force together, as if trying to drag him into the ground.

This is Qing Li's ghostly technique, [Gathering Grievances]!
Perhaps due to the peculiar nature of this ghostly technique, Zheng Que's [Golden Cicada Armor] failed to provide any defense.

At the same time, Qingli suddenly opened her mouth and let out a shrill and high-pitched soul howl...

"what!!!"
