Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 612 Fierce Battle. (First Update!)

Feeling the stinging pain in his back, Zheng Li turned around immediately and slammed a palm strike.

This time, he didn't use the "Heart-to-Heart Ghost Hand," but just an ordinary palm strike.

With concentrated palm force and surging true essence, it transformed into a pure white palm print in mid-air, bringing with it a whistling sound, and fell as if it were a tangible object.

However, just as the pure white palm print was about to touch the "evil spirit" parasitizing the "devouring monster," the "evil spirit" suddenly disappeared.

boom! ! !
With a loud bang, a pure white palm print landed on the cliff not far away. The earth shook violently, rocks were scattered everywhere, and countless leaves and foliage flew up, mixed with dust and sand, turning the blood mist into a murky gray-black.

Half of the low cliff collapsed, and mud and sand rolled at the bottom of the cliff, carving out unfamiliar terrain.

When his palm strike missed, Zheng Que waved his sleeve to brush away the sand and dust that rushed towards him. Just as he was about to strike again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the left side of his neck without warning.

clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out again, and the "fierce spirit's" intertwined blue and black claws had once again pierced his neck.

Just like before, Zheng Que was now completely covered by the Golden Cicada Armor. The "fierce spirit's" claw, which could easily pierce through his chest and heart, could only hurt Zheng Que but could not break through his body's defenses. A few sparks even flew from the claw tip.

This is the [Sacrifice to the Origin of Life and Death Technique]!
Even though the soul puppet he was currently controlling had only average foundations, under the blessing of this technique, his cultivation, spells, and supernatural abilities all received unimaginable improvements.

Until this spell ends, "The Devious Trick in the Belly" cannot harm him.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que struck again with his palm, directly hitting the "evil spirit's" face.

boom! ! !
The second palm strike missed again. While the force of the strike was still in mid-air, the "fierce spirit" had already dodged the attack and appeared above Zheng Que's head in an instant, its claws reaching out to grab him once more.

Dang Dang Dang...

Boom boom boom boom…

In just a few breaths, Zheng Que had already exchanged dozens of blows with the "fierce spirit".

All of Zheng Que's attacks missed their mark, and the "fierce spirit" parasitized by the "devouring monster" kept scratching at Zheng Que's body with its claws, but it could not break through the [Golden Cicada Armor] for a long time, and could only scrape him repeatedly.

After a brief stalemate, Zheng Que suddenly stopped attacking. The "evil spirit" parasitizing the "devouring demon" could no longer harm him, but his speed was severely lagging behind his opponent's.

Continuing to attack will only waste his true energy!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que raised his right hand, and his true essence circulated rapidly within his body. Immediately, gray ghost hands appeared around his palm.

The ghostly hand's outline resembled his own palm, only larger, as if it were constructed from pure yin energy, yet it remained condensed and unyielding.

The number of ghost hands stopped growing only after five had appeared.

These five ghostly hands are the exquisite uses of the "Heart-to-Heart Ghostly Hands" that Yan Bingyi had told him about before!

clang!
At this moment, the "fierce spirit" controlled by the "devious creature in the belly" appeared behind Zheng Que once again, its dark blue claws relentlessly clawing at Zheng Que's head, before being blocked by the [Golden Cicada Armor].

This time, the "fierce spirit" controlled by the "devouring monster" was unable to escape, and five gray ghost hands appeared in front of it in an instant.

Snapped!
One of the ghostly hands grabbed the "evil spirit's" arm, while the other four ghostly hands were a beat slower, but they also grabbed other parts of the "evil spirit."

brush!
The next moment, the "evil spirit" suddenly turned around and disappeared, and the other four ghostly hands grabbed at nothing.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Que felt reassured.

The use of the 【United Ghost Hands】 can keep up with the speed of the "Demon in the Belly"! However, he is not very proficient in this use right now, otherwise, when the five ghost hands grabbed that "fierce soul" at the same time, they would definitely have been able to suppress it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately turned his head and looked to his left. The "fierce spirit" controlled by the "demon in the belly" appeared in mid-air at this moment. One of its arms was still tightly gripped by his gray ghost hand. The "fierce spirit" had a ferocious face and did not care at all. It raised its other sharp claw, which was spread open, and viciously grabbed at Zheng Que.

Zheng Que made no attempt to dodge. The remaining four ghost hands of the [United Ghost Hands] shot out simultaneously, grabbing at the "fierce soul" as if to lock onto its movement.

clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the air. The "evil spirit" grabbed Zheng Que right between the eyebrows, but it failed to harm him at all.

At the same time, Zheng Que's two ghostly hands grabbed the legs of the "evil spirit".

whoosh...

The "fierce spirit" once again used [Yin Shen You] to try to escape, but under the suppression of the three [Tong Xin Gui Shou], its speed was obviously not as fast as before.

Zheng Que seized the opportunity and immediately threw a punch at the "evil spirit's" head.

The fist's shadow broke free, leaving trails of afterimages in mid-air, and with a sharp sound, it whistled down.

boom! ! !
The "fierce spirit" that had just fled not far was immediately caught up by the fist shadow and hit solidly. Its body flew backward uncontrollably and crashed to the ground far away.

The terrifying impact continued unabated, carving a wide crater in the ground and exposing the cracked rock at the bottom.

Zheng Que gave the "fierce spirit" no chance to continue using [Yin Shen You], and his remaining two gray ghost hands shot out like arrows, grabbing at the "fierce spirit's" body.

Whoosh!
The "evil spirit" had just climbed out of the pit when its blue-faced, fanged head was pressed down by Zheng Que's fourth ghostly hand.

boom!
With a muffled thud, dust billowed up, and the "evil spirit" was knocked to the ground again. A cloud of dust rose from the bottom of the pit, mixed with the sound of dripping water.

The last ghostly hand appeared silently and grabbed the remaining arm of the "evil spirit".

In an instant, the "fierce spirit" that had just arrived with lightning speed and was extremely ferocious was pressed down into the pit that was gradually accumulating water by Zheng Que's five [United Ghost Hands], and it was completely unable to move.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Zheng Que was about to open the Soul-Nourishing Bag to retrieve the "Demon in the Belly".

But at that moment, the "evil spirit" that had been firmly held down suddenly opened its mouth.

whoosh...

The "monster in the belly" burst out of the "evil spirit's" mouth, its long body transforming into a straight line as it fled into the distance without the slightest hesitation.

Zheng Que was taken aback and immediately chased after the "demon in the belly".

The two pursued and fled, covering a great distance in the blink of an eye.

Without its host, the "Demon in the Belly" was much slower than before. At first, it left a distinct white mark in the blood mist, but as time passed, the mark became fainter and fainter, and the distance between the two became closer and closer.

However, just as Zheng Que was about to catch up with the "Demon in the Belly," the aura of his soul puppet suddenly began to drop sharply.

The time has come for the 【Supreme Ritual of Withering and Flourishing】!
