Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 470 Battle. (First Update!)

Song Jiaoyin immediately realized what was happening. Before she could finish her sentence, she swiftly swung her ivory fan to the side, making it slash towards Xue Shuangzi like a sharp blade.

brush!
The fan slash missed its mark, stirring up a cloud of dust, but Xue Shuangzi's figure vanished from her spot in the blink of an eye, appearing like a ghost behind Song Jiaoyin.

Sensing something, Song Jiaoyin immediately closed her fan and went back to defend.

boom! !

Xue Shuangzi reached out a claw towards Song Jiaoyin's neck, but just as it was about to touch Song Jiaoyin's skin, it was suddenly blocked by the fan.

beep, beep...

An immense force caused Song Jiaoyin to involuntarily stagger back more than a dozen steps.

In a flash, her brows furrowed slightly. This ghost servant seemed to be even stronger than the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment guy from before!
At this moment, the middle-aged female cultivator whose chest had just been pierced by Xue Shuangzi slowly raised her head and stood up again. Her body was surrounded by yin energy, like wisps of black smoke. Although there was a large hole in her chest, from which one could clearly see the scene behind her, her expression did not change at all, and no blood flowed from the wound.

She stared intently at Xue Shuangzi, then quickly took out a handful of colorful talismans from her storage bag at her waist.

However, before the middle-aged female cultivator could even throw the talismans at Xue Shuangzi, the talismans began to burn on their own.

blah blah blah...

The middle-aged female cultivator's hand, which was holding the talismans, was immediately burned by the flames filled with intense yang energy. In pain, she threw away all the talismans and cast a complex spell.

Whoosh!
The next moment, before the half-burnt talisman could even hit the ground, it transformed into streaks of flame that shot towards Xue Shuangzi.

The old woman also reacted, patted the soul-nourishing pouch at her waist, and summoned two ghost servants. One of the ghost servants was swollen all over, as if it had been soaked for many years, with stitches all over its body. As soon as it appeared, it kept dripping cold water. Its body seemed to be pieced together from men, women, old and young, but its head was as delicate and bright as a young girl. The other had long hair that reached the ground, and its limbs were twisted strangely in the opposite direction. Its shoulders and palms were covered with fine bone spurs.

Their auras were all at the fourth level of the [Scissors Prison], equivalent to cultivators who had just entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The old woman quickly cast a series of spells, and two ghost servants immediately stepped forward and attacked Xue Shuangzi.

Just as her two subordinates attacked simultaneously, Song Jiaoyin waved her fan, and a sharp wind blade appeared out of thin air, slashing towards Xue Shuangzi at a tricky angle.

call……

At this moment, Xue Shuangzi suddenly opened her mouth and exhaled a cloud of pink mist.

The fog spread rapidly after it appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the burning talisman that was shooting towards them, the two ghost servants, Song Jiaoyin and the other two, as well as the surrounding streets.

In an instant, all that came into view was a light, delicate pink, gentle and enchanting, like a young girl's reverie, or like peach blossoms in full bloom in March. A faint, sweet fragrance wafted to the nose, a rich and subtle aroma that was not overpowering, carrying a touch of alluring coquetry, as if constantly stirring up all sorts of thoughts in one's heart.

Wow!
The ball of fire formed from the talisman had just entered the mist when its flames rapidly shrank. After flying for about ten feet, it suddenly went out. The remaining third of the talisman had not yet burned completely when it lost all its energy and fell limply to the ground, seemingly just an ordinary piece of paper.

The two ghostly servants that rushed into the mist instantly lost their way. The swollen-bodied ghost with the head of a young girl dripped water, but the water droplets remained confined to a small area. The ghost with hair reaching the ground crawled rapidly for a while before stopping in a daze. They seemed to sense that their target was close at hand, but no matter how hard they tried, they just circled back and forth in the mist like headless flies, unable to find Xue Shuangzi's exact location. As for the wind blade that Song Jiaoyin had unleashed, it seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the sea, disappearing completely as soon as it entered the pink mist.

All of this happened in a flash, in the blink of an eye!

Looking at the vast pink mist, Song Jiaoyin immediately realized the problem: this was [Rouge Dew]!
The female ghost they are facing now is a [Rouge Demon]!
That is "evil"!
She can't even distinguish between living people and ghosts now, so naturally she can't distinguish the types of ghosts, but she can still recognize the species of most ghosts.

Before she could even ponder how a "wicked spirit" from the [Scissors Prison] could become a ghost servant of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Jiaoyin immediately unleashed her full power, her Yin energy surging forth as if boiling.

step... step... step...

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly echoed from the surrounding streets, as if a large crowd was surging in.

※※※

In the vast market town, Zheng Que was like a wisp of smoke, quickly disappearing in one direction. Shops, trees, and courtyard walls on both sides kept receding, leaving behind trails of afterimages.

This is his enhanced [Phantom Escape Technique] after strengthening it with Dao Foundation.

Whoosh!
Soon, Zheng Que arrived at a street that seemed familiar, the very place where he had first met Song Jiaoyin and her group.

The place was deserted, with no other people in sight. Only rows of shops stood with their doors wide open, revealing the various items they sold inside. They were spotless and had a complete range of products.

Zheng Que looked around and frowned slightly. Xue Shuangzi was no longer there.
After a moment's hesitation, he stopped and began to ponder deeply.

According to the information provided by Song Jiaoyin, if the fragments on Xue Shuangzi's body had not been lost, she would not have forgotten the memories after entering this "strange" place. However, because she was separated from her master, she would not remember the tasks he had assigned her.

However, if the fragments on Xue Shuangzi's body are removed, then the other party will forget all their memories after entering the "strange" world!

In either case, as long as she doesn't encounter any living people, Xue Shuangzi shouldn't go far.

Let's use the [Spirit Descent] spell right here and see if we can summon Xue Shuangzi directly!
Having made up his mind, Zheng Que was about to cast the [Spirit Descent Technique] when he suddenly realized a problem...

He initially mistook Song Jiaoyin for Xue Shuangzi because he fell for Song Jiaoyin's "rule".

After Song Jiaoyin's "law" failed, he regained his memories of Xue Shuangzi.

However, the fact that he separated from Song Jiaoyin and the other two meant that he lost three pieces from Song Jiaoyin's side.

In this situation, he would likely lose the corresponding fragment of memory and forget all his memories of Xue Shuangzi after entering this "strange" place!

But now, his memories of Xue Shuangzi and Song Jiaoyin remain extremely clear and vivid!
