Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 164 Soul Seizing
When Lin Jiang landed, his momentum did not diminish much. When his feet touched the calm surface of the lake, they stirred up huge white waves.

The surrounding lakes even churned up huge waves, which were mixed with the rocks that were originally hidden beneath the lake.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, appearing like silver threads falling to the earth under the silvery moonlight.

He rubbed his neck, then looked up at the old woman on the large ship.

The old woman's face was as red as a date, and even her previously melodious tune had gone off-key.

Just as they were about to close in and attack again, the withered flower boat suddenly emitted a faint light.

An invisible pressure pressed down on him again, and Lin Jiang was surprised to find that his divine sense was functioning normally, but his body seemed to be trapped in beeswax.

Fortunately, Liu Fangyue's magic was transmitted to Lin Jiangdan's residence again, which allowed him to return to normal.

After a while, Lin Jiang also got angry.

He probably understood why most warriors disliked these sorcerers.

This is really unpleasant!
"What kind of technique is this? Is it the same as the previous 'Destructive Desire' technique?" Lin Jiang asked Liu Fangyue.

"No," Liu Fangyue explained. "This is an official technique, known within the government as 'Difficult to Please,' and nicknamed 'Shifting Responsibility.' Its main methods are to delay, postpone, push, and obstruct, aiming to prevent the other party from properly using the technique. Combined with her wicked and chaotic thoughts, it can trap many people within it."

That's fucking disgusting.

"Is there any way to disable her magic?"

"The flower boat at the old woman's feet is her altar. I'm afraid most of her spells are engraved on this boat. If we don't destroy it, we'll have a hard time dealing with her."

Liu Fangyue said:

“Any altar used as a magical artifact must have layers of protection. Since such a conspicuous large ship cannot be hidden, its defenses must be impregnable.”

This is actually not a suitable choice.

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that sorcerers can greatly increase their combat power by setting up an altar and performing rituals, so naturally they guard their altars very strictly.

After all, the Taoist sect has many ways to launch surprise attacks and break the altar. If the altar is destroyed, the sorcerer will be like a hawk with broken wings.

This situation means that if a warlock really wants to create such a portable altar, it either has to be very small and hidden, making it difficult to be detected.

or,

This altar will be very sturdy, and ordinary people simply cannot destroy it.

"We have to give it a try."

"I can remove distractions for you; please proceed with caution."

Lin Jiang pushed off with his feet and charged straight toward the flower boat in front of him.

The old woman at the bow of the boat was still in a state of chaotic Qi. She had been injured by Lin Jiang's exhaled true Qi earlier, and now even lifting a finger felt sluggish. She was also staring at the figure flying towards her, her eyes filled with undisguised fear.

Cultivators all take the dantian as their foundation, and the Qi-damaging technique that Lin Jiang just used is a good strategy to defeat the enemy.

The old woman never expected that this seemingly tough man would be so knowledgeable about such techniques!

Isn't it said that warriors use their bodies to withstand everything and their weapons to fight?

What kind of person is this?
If it weren't for the altar that was built at great expense to protect him, he would probably have died on the spot today.

Even so, the thought of retreating still lingered in her heart.

She could clearly see what Lin Jiang, who was rushing over, wanted to do.

They're clearly after their own altar!

Although the other party was a martial artist, and theoretically could not possibly have any impact on the old woman's altar, the old woman just felt that this man probably really had the ability to damage her altar!
She had been stuck on the Star Pointing technique for a long time, but now, with the help of the General's Mansion, she has finally begun to understand how to achieve it.

Although it is not yet a complete Star Point and has not yet obtained that unique destiny, it is still much stronger than the average sixth level of Heaven.

But where did this person come from?!
He doesn't seem to be a true Star-level fighter, so why is he so good at fighting?
After much thought, the old woman made up her mind.

We can't fight him for the key anymore!
The magic technique suddenly changed, and the giant ship instantly turned around to escape.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Jiang rushed to the stern and kicked hard at the hull.

Strangely, Lin Jiang's figure passed straight through the ship's hull, as if striking a phantom without any sensation, which startled even him.

The feel of it...

It felt like it struck his very soul!
After regaining his senses, Lin Jiang saw the cabin at the bottom of the ship, where wandering souls thronged. Amidst the carved beams and painted rafters, a young girl in a thin veil swayed gracefully, her delicate garments barely covering her vitals, as if it were a ghostly painted boat.

Her graceful figure was revealed as she gently rocked the oars, resembling a scene of romance in a brothel.

The women's eyes were empty, unlike those of living people, but rather like exquisitely crafted shadow puppets.

Seeing this, Liu Fangyue inside Lin Jiang's body sneered:
"This old hag is so old, yet she knows how to play the game of love and lust."

After saying that, she seemed to sense something was amiss and quickly added two more sentences to Lin Jiang:
"Master, you may wish to take a closer look. Although it is a puppet created by magic, it truly deserves the title of 'national beauty and heavenly fragrance.' Why not enjoy this feast for the eyes?"

Lin Jiang thought about it and felt that what Liu Fangyue said made a lot of sense, so he stared at her with wide eyes.

However, Lin Jiang quickly came to his senses.

Despite looking at it, Lin Jiang still needed to think about how to get rid of the large ship.

He could sense that the old woman above didn't want to pay attention to him and was focusing all her efforts on driving the ship away. So, with a try-it-out mentality, he stretched out his finger and recited the finger technique he had been learning recently, then poked the wall with it.

"Pfft!"

The finger was pressed directly into the wall.

really!

The techniques I learned can damage this ship!
This ship is indeed a spirit!
The old woman, who was steering the boat away from this place, suddenly seemed to sense something. She looked down with disbelief at Lin Jiang, who was in the cabin.

Can a warrior poke a hole in his own ship with his finger?
What kind of skill is that?!
The old woman didn't understand.

Lin Jiang, who was at the bottom of the cabin, rubbed his fingers together and immediately realized a problem.

The efficiency of punching holes is far too slow.

This ship is made up of spirits; only Lin Jiang's finger techniques can effectively damage it.

If you punch an ordinary wall, the hole will be blown through and other objects will fly up with it. But it's different for a soul. These things are like soft mud. If you poke into it, it will only leave a hole.

but……

As Lin Jiang poked at the hull with his fingertips, the contents of the Qi King's Great Record inexplicably surfaced in his mind. The Soul-Carrying Technique was precisely the first method recorded in the book, specifically explaining how to create a lost ship.

And this huge ship before us...

Lin Jiang felt that it was somewhat similar to the Lost Ship.

He clearly remembered that the Great Record of Enlightenment contained a record of how to use magic to break the spell of the Lost Ship. However, that method required the first half of the Great Record of Enlightenment as a foundation, and Lin Jiang didn't know if it would work if he forced it.

After a moment's thought, Lin Jiangxin made a firm decision.

Come all come!

Try it!

Following the incomplete formula, the Qi is activated, starting from the Dantian, passing through the Yangwei and Yinwei meridians, and directly reaching the Zifu (Palace of Death).

After Lin Jiang circulated his Qi according to this method, he immediately felt an indescribable sense of enlightenment welling up in his heart.

This method seems to require three cycles of breathing before it can be used again.

However, Lin Jiang could sense that he could actually use this method successfully!

He opened his eyes again.

When Lin Jiang looked around again, the large ship began to change in his eyes.

The original unified structure gradually transformed into a gelatinous object. At this moment, the lifeless "women" shed their pink and rosy exteriors, leaving only faceless, round dots of light.

As Lin Jiang came into view, the entire ship gradually shed its original disguise, turning into lines that connected to the old woman's body.

He slowly reached out his hand.

They pulled those lines.

At this moment, a faint black aura slowly seeped out from Lin Jiang's body, spreading along the perimeter of the ship.

The areas tainted by the black energy instantly transformed into shimmering fireflies, continuously flowing into his body.

The old woman, whose face was already ashen, suddenly opened her mouth, blood spurting from between her teeth, her cloudy eyes churning with uncontrollable horror.

What kind of magic is this?
This is……

A legitimate method of star-pointing?!

Complex thoughts flooded the old woman's mind. She knew very well that if she continued to let this man continue, her altar would probably collapse completely in just a few breaths!
Having exhausted all other options, she gritted her teeth and took out a talisman from her bosom.

He stuck the talisman directly onto his body and shouted loudly:

"Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Jiang's ears twitched slightly, and he looked up at the old woman above.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman was so angry she almost lost her breath.

You fucking bastard! I'm chanting a spell!
But she really didn't have time to waste with Lin Jiang right now, so she used the interfered Qi in her body to activate the talisman.

After seeing this scene, Lin Jiang thought for a moment, then took out a silver ingot from his pocket with his free hand and tried to throw it directly at the old woman.

However, no sooner had he thrown the silver than the old woman gritted her teeth and swung the ruler downwards with all her might.

The speed of the silver in the air suddenly slowed down drastically.

Lin Jiang could see that the silver was indeed flying forward, but it seemed to be thousands of feet away from the old woman.

Just like when Lin Jiang fell down.

Not quite.

Without destroying this human altar, Lin Jiang's current abilities are indeed insufficient to inflict effective damage.

at last,

The talisman began to slowly emit light.

Lin Jiang also realized what the old woman wanted to do, but with the altar still in place, he probably couldn't kill her directly.

Then...

Lin Jiang suddenly exerted force on his wrist.

The threads he was holding were snapped straight.

The entire golden boat altar groaned under his brute force, its center creaking under the strain.

next moment,
Suddenly, a tearing sound erupted from the center of the ship, and the keel snapped in two. Golden fragments fell from the sky, like a shower of gold.

The stern of the boat plunged diagonally into the lake, its broken mast holding up a half-moon, which then transformed into a torrent of light that flowed into Lin Jiang's body.

It became thin and transparent, and the melodious singing that had been floating on the flower boat slowly dissipated, leaving almost nothing behind.

On the old woman's side, only the front half of the large ship remained, broken and barely standing. Debris was constantly falling from the two broken sections. The girls inside, who had little self-awareness, were unaware of the ship's misery and continued to sing cheerful songs.

Several straight gaps even led to the water's collapse, creating a trail of sparkling light.

The old woman's face turned as white as paper in an instant. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. When she looked down at Lin Jiang again, there was not even any resentment in her eyes.

All that remained was deep fear.

Immediately afterwards, the white light emanating from the talisman completely engulfed the old woman, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I don't know where they went.

At this moment, Lin Jiang had no time to pay attention to the old woman.

Because he could clearly feel that the half of the altar he had just torn off was transforming into a powerful Qi that was merging into his body.

These energies rolled through his limbs and bones, eventually pushing upwards.

Lin Jiang's eyes lit up, and his bones cracked all over his body.

he,
It's the second level!
