Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 512 Three against one. (First update!)

boom! !

The ground where Zheng Que stood, and the ground around him, was instantly crushed by the [Mother of the Underworld].

However, when the body of the [Mother of the Underworld] floated up to a few inches above the ground again, sand and gravel fell down, and a large, jagged pit appeared on the ground. Dark gray yin energy mixed with the billowing dust slowly dissipated, but there was not a single drop of blood among the scattered rocks.

With a flash, Zheng Que's true form appeared in the distance.

This is the [Phantom Escape Technique]; what the [Mother of the Netherworld] just bit was merely an afterimage of him!
At this moment, Zheng Que's soul-summoning banner fluttered in the wind, and the dark banner surface swirled rapidly like waves. A chilling soul wind immediately blew out from the banner and swept towards the [Mother of the Underworld].

The wind was icy cold, filled with countless ghostly creatures, which were translucent and appeared and disappeared indistinctly.

This is the "Netherworld Wind" of the Soul-Summoning Banner!
At the same time, a surge of yin energy erupted around Shu Yunying, condensing into four enormous ghostly hands in the void above her head. As soon as the ghostly hands appeared, they spontaneously divided their tasks: two reached for the drooping arms of the [Mother of the Underworld], and two reached for the [Mother of the Underworld]'s head with its single eye.

This is a demonic skill, the [Little Sky-Piercing Hand]!
Xue Shuangzi opened her mouth and exhaled a cloud of pink mist. The mist spread in the blink of an eye, instantly engulfing her, Zheng Que, and Shu Yunying, and continued to spread towards the [Mother of the Underworld].

This is her innate talent, 【Rouge Tears】.

click!
Just as Shu Yunying's [Little Sky-Supporting Hand] grabbed [Mother of the Underworld], before she could even exert her strength, the four giant ghost hands emitted a faint cracking sound and then began to collapse inch by inch.

In an instant, [Mother of the Underworld] broke free from the restraints of [Little Sky-Supporting Hand]!

But in that instant, the Netherworld Wind swept in from all sides and reached him.

The single eye on the head of the 【Mother of the Underworld】 immediately shifted, its vertical pupil staring straight at the oncoming wind of underworld spirits.

The moment the one-eyed gaze fell upon the gust of ghostly wind, the yin energy within it rapidly decreased, and the numerous ghosts mixed within were uncontrollably separated from the wind, transforming into streaks of black shadow that flew toward the giant vertical pupil of the [Mother of the Netherworld Lamp].

Seeing that the ghosts were about to break free from the control of the summoning banner, Zheng Que immediately cast a spell.

The next moment, the bodies of those ghosts rapidly expanded, and just as they flew in front of the vertical pupils of the [Mother of the Underworld], they all self-destructed.

Boom boom boom boom! !

Amidst the deafening roar, the shockwave from the self-destruction of the ghosts surged in all directions, blasting the originally viscous blood mist into ravine-like clearings. The ground was littered with battle marks, and a deathly silence descended upon the surrounding area. The ghosts that had been lingering around scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

Just then, a pink mist swept over and enveloped the entire body of the [Mother of the Underworld], and in the blink of an eye, the pink mist had engulfed the battlefield.

However, the [Rouge Dew] had only just enveloped the [Mother of the Underworld] when, just like the gust of underworld wind, the yin energy within the mist rapidly dissipated like a flood breaking through a dam.

Xue Shuangzi's voice rang out immediately: "This ghost has sucked away the yin energy from my [Rouge Dew]!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the pink mist began to obscure vision and perception, and even the alluring fragrance faded at a visible speed. At this rate, the "Rouge Dew" would soon become just ordinary mist.

In less than a few breaths, the [Rouge Dew] dissipated on the spot, revealing the appearance of the [Mother of the Underworld].

At this moment, the dangling arm of this [Iron Tree Prison] ghost was blown to pieces, and the severed ends were filled with yin energy, like thick black smoke.

Apart from his severed arm, he was completely unharmed, and the yin energy surrounding him was even stronger than before.

The head of the [Mother of the Underworld] turned slightly, and its huge vertical pupil suddenly locked onto Shu Yunying.

Shu Yunying slightly covered her sleeve, as if she was about to let out a "hehehe" laugh, but as soon as she made a move, she was stared at by that vertical pupil gaze and suddenly froze on the spot.

At the same time, the severed arms of the [Mother of the Underworld] grew rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and the moment the new arms appeared, they couldn't wait to grab at Shu Yunying.

Seeing this, four blazing flames suddenly appeared on Zheng Que's head, shoulders, and chest. This was the [Heavenly Wheel Mystic Fire Technique]!
He cast a spell, and four balls of flame immediately emerged, transforming into a brilliant beam of light that shot towards the vertical pupil of the [Mother of the Underworld].

Boom boom boom! !
"hiss!!!"

The body of the [Mother of the Underworld] twitched violently, letting out a sharp screech, and its huge vertical pupil immediately closed.

Once out of the gaze of the vertical pupils, Shu Yunying, who had been motionless, suddenly regained her freedom. With a flick of her wide sleeves, she darted to the side like the wind.

Ping Pong Pong...

【Mother of the Underworld】Those arms missed their target and slammed into the ground, causing the ground to tremble and the mud and sand to churn.

At the same moment, Xue Shuangzi circled behind [Mother of the Underworld], reached out her claws, and fiercely grabbed at its back.

Once she recovered, Shu Yunying raised her finger and tapped repeatedly on the [Mother of the Underworld].

Puff puff……

In the blink of an eye, dozens of crisscrossing claw marks were slashed across the back of the [Mother of the Underworld], and shallow, scattered marks were also shot onto its body.

But just as Xue Shuangzi and Shu Yunying were about to press their advantage, the vertical pupil of the [Mother of the Underworld], which had been closed, opened again.

Whoosh...

The Netherworld Finger, which was hurtling towards the Netherworld Mother, suddenly lost all its Yin energy. The remaining force of the finger landed lightly on the Netherworld Mother without causing any damage.

Xue Shuangzi's fingernail, which had pierced the back of the [Mother of the Underworld], was immediately stuck and could not be pulled out at all.

Furthermore, the yin energy within her body, and even her entire body, began to be uncontrollably absorbed into the body by the [Mother of the Underworld]!
Xue Shuangzi's expression changed, and her entire body suddenly collapsed into a ball of bright red mist, which quickly disappeared into the distance.

Before she could escape far, the [Mother of the Netherworld] immediately turned around, its huge vertical pupil locking onto the crimson mist she had transformed into.

The wisp of mist was instantly frozen, stiffly suspended in mid-air, unable to revert to Xue Shuangzi's appearance, nor able to continue its escape.

The arm of the [Mother of the Underworld] reached out again, grabbing at the crimson mist.

Just then, Shu Yunying caught her breath and used [Little Sky-Supporting Hand] again. The giant ghost hand quickly reached out and blocked the gaze of [Mother of the Underworld]'s vertical pupil that was staring at the crimson mist.

With her vision blocked, the mist that Xue Shuangzi had transformed into immediately regained its power. She dared not be negligent and immediately returned to human form, while quickly fleeing into the distance.

click!
Just like before, the ghostly hand that was blocking the [Mother of the Underworld]'s vision shattered and collapsed once again.

Boom boom boom...

【Mother of the Underworld】Those strangely shaped arms slammed heavily onto the open ground.

Suddenly, a large cloud of sand and gravel erupted from the open space, and the ground shook violently.

Having failed twice in a row, the [Mother of the Underworld] seemed to be completely enraged. Yin energy erupted from its body, and the number of arms hanging down from its body increased rapidly.

After these arms appeared, they immediately extended out, intertwining to create a sky-covering effect. They split into three branches and simultaneously reached out to grab Shu Yunying, Xue Shuangzi, and Zheng Que.
