Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 603 Slaying a Core Formation cultivator. (Second update!)

Hearing this, Zheng Que nodded slightly.

Although the five female ghosts' words were somewhat incoherent and contained many loopholes, he would definitely side with his own female ghosts compared to outsiders.

On the contrary, the two unfamiliar Core Formation cultivators seemed to be rogue cultivators, and their words were quite sincere, but they had trespassed into his market and asked him to help deal with their ghost servants.
That's a great idea!

But that's suicide!
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Li immediately cast a spell, and yin energy rushed in from all directions, hovering in the sky and gathering into a thick cloud that obscured the sunlight.

Under the dark clouds, the temperature plummeted, the light seemed to be swallowed up, visibility dropped rapidly, and the concentration of yin energy increased quickly.

This is the [Yin Gathering Technique]!
Qingli, Niannu, Kulan, Xue Shuangzi, and Shu Yunying were all enveloped within. The five female ghosts relaxed slightly and then revealed a comfortable expression, just like weary travelers who had traveled a long way and suddenly entered a hot spring. They felt indescribably comfortable, and the yin energy they had consumed began to be replenished rapidly, and their condition recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the pupils of the two Core Formation cultivators suddenly dilated. They had originally thought that this imperial examinee, even though they were complete strangers, was still a fellow human being, and that it would be a great opportunity for him to get to know them, two Core Formation cultivators!

Under normal circumstances, this Foundation Establishment cultivator would never miss an opportunity to curry favor with two Core Formation cultivators.

Who would have thought that all the female ghosts who were besieging them actually knew this cultivator?
Upon realizing this, the two Core Formation cultivators' expressions changed drastically.

Under normal circumstances, they could easily kill a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator with a flick of their wrist.

But in the current situation, they were already in grave danger just dealing with the five female ghosts, and now they had to add a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the mix...

Thinking of this, the old man, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, suddenly raised his hand and threw a punch directly at Zheng Que.

A grayish-white fist shadow appeared in mid-air and whistled as it smashed towards Zheng Que.

The burly man, having reached the Golden Core stage, also turned around and slapped Zheng Que with his palm.

The palm strike was fierce, like thousands of steel blades thrusting down at once.

The two Core Formation cultivators attacked Zheng Que simultaneously with perfect coordination!
They can't defeat the five female ghosts besieging them right now, but dealing with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator is a piece of cake!
This Foundation Establishment cultivator knows the five female ghosts, and is at least the master of one of them. As long as the enemy's ghost servants return to defend, and one of the five female ghosts is missing, they can seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory!
However, just when these two Core Formation cultivators thought they could easily break the deadlock, Zheng Que suddenly unleashed a palm strike.

The palm print, imbued with a unique aura of intertwined spiritual and yin energies, collided solidly in mid-air with the fist shadows and palm strikes unleashed by the two Core Formation cultivators.

boom! ! !
The fist's shadow vanished in an instant, and the palm's force crumbled as well.

The impact surged outwards like a tidal wave, causing the [Rouge Dew] to tilt and crooked. Nearby houses and shops collapsed, and amidst the crashing and banging, countless beams broke, walls crumbled, and dust billowed.

The power of the [United Ghost Hands] was greatly reduced after shattering the combined attack of two Core Formation cultivators, but it could still barely maintain the black and white intertwined palm prints and continue to bombard the strong man's Core Formation stage.

The burly man's expression changed instantly upon reaching the Core Formation stage, but he was under attack from Qing Li's [Call of Cry] and [Strange Poison], and was using his magic to suppress the abnormality within his body. He had no time to dodge, and the next moment...

boom! !

The black and white palm prints struck the burly man at the Core Formation stage, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Wow!"

Before the burly man could even get up after forming his golden core, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could even catch his breath, a thick hemp rope had already tightened around his neck, and he was being hoisted into the air.

Zheng Que shook his head slightly. These two Core Formation cultivators were much weaker than the Core Formation female cultivator he had just dealt with.

However, without the [Yin God Devouring Resentment], his strength was not at its peak, and the power of the [United Ghost Hands] was far less than when he dealt with that Core Formation female cultivator. Otherwise, that one palm strike would have been enough to finish off a Core Formation cultivator.

While pondering, Zheng Que did not delay. He raised his hand again and struck the remaining old man who had reached the Core Formation stage with another [United Hearts Ghost Hand].

Black and white palm prints appeared in the void and crashed down like a mountain collapsing into the sea.

Feeling the overwhelming true energy and yin energy, and realizing that Zheng Que's strength seemed to be even greater than that of the female ghosts, the old man, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, turned pale and hurriedly used his defensive techniques.

boom! ! !
Amidst the flying dust and swirling sand, more than a dozen neat houses collapsed at the same time. In the swirling dust, the old man, who had just achieved the Golden Core stage, was sent flying diagonally like a kite with a broken string.

clack clack...

Before the old man's body, which had just reached the Golden Core stage, even hit the ground, his neck involuntarily turned backward several times, and a series of popping sounds like popping beans came out from inside, and his breath suddenly became extremely weak.

boom! !

Zheng Que then added another [United Hearts Ghost Hand].

The old man, having just completed his Core Formation, slammed heavily into the ground. In an instant, his flesh and blood were mangled, his body twisted abnormally, and he convulsed violently. Dark red blood spurted from his seven orifices, and then his head lolled to the side, where he breathed no more.

After dealing with a Core Formation cultivator, Zheng Que immediately turned his head and looked towards Qing Li's direction.

The burly man on Qingli's side, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, was hanging in mid-air like a dead dog, with veins bulging on his forehead, white foam at the corners of his mouth, his limbs hanging limply and motionless, and his breath extremely weak.

Zheng Que dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately struck out with another [United Hearts Ghost Hand].

Bang! !

The burly man, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, was immediately beaten to a pulp, his blood splattering like rain, and his life abruptly ended.

Having successfully dealt with the two Core Formation cultivators who had trespassed on his territory, Zheng Que flipped his hand and took out the Soul-Summoning Banner, then looked at Shu Yunying not far away.

Shu Yunying covered her mouth with her sleeve and let out a series of clear "hehehe" laughs.

The laughter echoed across the entire battlefield, and the rogue cultivators who were killing each other immediately stopped, turned around, and stared blankly at Shu Yunying.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que shook the soul-summoning banner, collecting all the ghosts that the rogue cultivators had transformed into into the banner.

After doing all this, Zheng Quefang looked at the five female ghosts. The five female ghosts had consumed a lot of yin energy this time, and even with the help of the [Yin Gathering Technique], they would have difficulty recovering in a short time.

Realizing that Luo Fuyu and Mu Xiangu's enemies were still not dealt with, and that he wouldn't be of much help by taking five ghost servants with almost no Yin energy, Zheng Que's gaze immediately fell on Xue Shuangzi.

After a quick thought, he said, "Qingli, Niannu, Kulan, and Shuyunying, you all clean up the corpses here. The corpse puppets should be left behind."

"As for Xue Shuangzi, come with me."

"There is something very important that I need your cooperation with."
