Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 394 Lack of Awareness
The surroundings were pitch black, as if we had suddenly fallen into a dark and endless night.

Now, the only light source in the entire area is the large circle of candles surrounding the carriage.

The candles, some tall and some short, some large and some small, were arranged in several rows on either side, burning slowly.

The tallest candle was as tall as a person, exuding a strong sense of oppression, while the smallest candle looked like a severed finger stuck in the ground.

The candle wax dripped down from the top of the candle, forming thick pillars on the side that stretched across the ground.

These candles were uniformly pale in color, exuding an eerie aura from the inside out.

This illusory realm appears perfectly normal at present, but anyone who catches a glimpse of these candles can sense the eeriness permeating it.

The old man's head was buzzing, and he felt like vomiting.

Before I arrived, I thought it would be two against one half-dead, but when I got there I found out it was actually four against two!
"Eyes! Illusion! Illusion!"

The old man roared angrily twice. A one-eyed man seemed to want to use his magic, but Yu Wenyun laughed wildly and punched him hard.

How could he possibly invoke the illusory realm? He was directly suppressed in place, unable to move an inch.

Realizing there was no one to help him from behind, the old man felt a pang of despair. He turned to look at the carriage and saw the door being quietly pushed open, from which a slender hand gracefully reached out.

A woman dressed in a gorgeous dress slowly stepped down from the carriage, holding a candle in her hand. The candle was placed on an iron pan resembling a small scale to prevent the hot wax drippings from burning her.

Under the flickering candlelight, the woman's face shimmered in the firelight.

"A swarm of insects..."

A cool, aloof voice drifted out from Yi Er San, completely unlike her usual self.

At this moment, Lin Jiang glanced to the side and realized that Yi Er San was still wearing gorgeous dresses, but the makeup on her face had quietly disappeared.

Without the concealment of makeup, the already outstanding appearances of Yi Er San shone even brighter under the candlelight.

Lin Jiang's gaze lingered for a moment.

It's not because it's pretty,
The main reason is that this style of "one, two, three" is really rare.

One, two, three. Blow a breath at the candle flame in your hand, and suddenly a burning candle appears above the heads of the two people not far away.

The candle seemed to be rooted to their scalps, remaining motionless no matter how much they shook it.

The old man subconsciously raised his hand to brush the top of his head, but the slight tremor brought by the palm wind swept across the candle flame, and he immediately felt weak all over.

Only then did he realize with horror that all color had drained from his face.

This is……

A life-or-death manifestation!

Human cultivation can be categorized into a few types: the body, the three souls and seven spirits, Qi, and life force.

Most practitioners of magical arts specialize in cultivating their life force. This thing is mysterious and has been with us since birth; some have speculated that it is connected to the Dao of Heaven.

A strong constitution makes a person robust, while a weak constitution makes a person frail.

I never expected that this woman could manifest her life in a physical form!

Based on what they just felt, if the candle above their heads were extinguished, their lives would be extinguished.

That would truly be a calamity cast upon one's fate!

The old man knew that continuing the fight was hopeless, so he gripped the scissors tightly in his hand. Realizing that he still couldn't take them back from Lin Jiang, he tried to abandon the scissors and run away.

Lin Jiang wouldn't give the old man a chance; a thick, strong hand reached straight for the old man's face.

The old man felt a strong sense of oppression wash over him. He opened his eyes wide and spat at Lin Jiang. The thick phlegm had an eerie sheen, and Lin Jiang's expression changed drastically.

If you're going to fight, then fight! Why are you spitting on people? Are you an alpaca?

Lin Jiang dodged to the side, and the old man shrank back, tearing off his shirt and breaking free of his restraints.

Thick phlegm fell onto the dark ground, making a hissing sound and accompanied by a pungent, burnt smell.

The illusory mirror on the ground was corroded by this phlegm, making a hissing sound and etching a small hole in it.

Lin Jiang had no idea what kind of evil method the other party was using, but he felt his stomach churning.

How could such filthy goods be allowed to escape?

He immediately abandoned the carriage, stomped his toes on the ground, and with lightning speed, intercepted the withered old man in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Lin Jiang catch up, the old man turned pale with fright, and with a gurgling sound in his throat, he felt a mouthful of phlegm rising up as if he were about to spit it out.

But Lin Jiang was prepared. His movements were swift and ghostly, his five fingers gripping the old man's neck like iron pincers. The phlegm was stuck in his throat, neither rising nor falling.

Lin Jiang had noticed the strange candle on the old man's head, so he took a deep breath at the flame and blew it out.

The candle flame flickered and danced wildly, and the old man's face turned deathly pale in an instant, then turned purplish-red, and finally faded to a deathly ashen blue.

Blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, and even his magical transformation couldn't stop his decline.

Lin Jiang grinned.

Wonderful.

It felt like the number one, two, three had inflicted a true damage status on the person in front of him; as long as Lin Jiang wanted to fight, all the damage he dealt would be real.

The old man knew he couldn't continue like this, so he suddenly opened his mouth, and his entire back opened outwards as well.

The next moment, his bones suddenly burst out of his body, and he strode away into the distance.

Lin Jiang blinked, staring at the skeleton that had suddenly appeared and disappeared into the distance, momentarily stunned. An escape technique?
This person's escape method is too bizarre!
Before Lin Jiang could continue the chase, he suddenly saw the figure of the thief appear in front of the old man.

At this moment, the thief's eyes were blood red, and he stretched out both hands as if to grab the head of the skeleton.

The skeleton had no time to dodge and could only raise its two arms upwards.

The two intersected, and the thief successfully removed both of his arms, but the remaining parts of the skeleton still tried to escape.

Suddenly, the thief's stomach split open, bursting out a cloud of blood mist. A third hand emerged from his stomach and grabbed the skull.

The remaining skeleton wobbled a couple of times before scattering onto the ground with a crackling sound, creating a mess.

The skull rattled weakly against the teeth in the thief's hand.

Not far away, Yanzhu saw that the old man had been captured and knew that his chances of survival were slim.

If I were to fall into enemy hands at this moment, that would truly be a complete defeat.

He suddenly let out a low growl and lunged straight at Yu Wenyun.

Upon seeing this, Yu Wenyun laughed twice more and was about to make a move when the body of the man with the eyeball suddenly shattered!
Countless fragments shot out in all directions, flying everywhere and covering the ground.

The sudden change was so unexpected that Yu Wenyun's movements faltered for a moment.

But only for a moment, and the next instant he swung his iron fist again.

The force of the punch, carrying immense power, enveloped the surroundings in an instant.

The fragments rapidly disintegrated and vanished under his palm, turning into dust and falling to the ground.

However, after a flurry of powerful punches, Yu Wenyun shook his head helplessly, as if he had missed something crucial.

At this moment, there was no one left alive on the field, except for a skull still remaining in the palm of the thief's hand.

Those who witnessed this from a short distance away slowly raised their candles in front of them, as if to blow them out.

But before doing so, Yi Er San glanced at Lin Jiang slightly, turning his head slightly:
"Young master, please take good care of me in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, he blew out the candles in front of him with a count of one, two, three.

The candles burning in the surrounding darkness were all extinguished in an instant, and darkness returned to all directions.

A moment later, the darkness dissipated, and the group returned to the battered Gobi Desert.

The Gobi Desert was in complete disarray, with cracked and crisscrossed ground and debris scattered everywhere.

Lin Jiang casually tossed the old man in his hand to the ground and glanced at Yu Wenyun:

"not dead?"

“He’s not dead.” Yu Wenyun replied truthfully. “That person learned a peculiar escape technique that splits him into 13,500 fragments in an instant. I was unable to kill them all with my magic, but some of them escaped. I’m sure he can use his body to regain his life.”

"This technique is indeed profound."

Lin Jiang didn't care at all, after all, he probably wouldn't be able to keep anyone alive in the face of such a method.

No wonder it takes a dedicated person to keep an eye on the escape techniques of cultivators who have reached the Star-level.

If the thief hadn't promptly identified the old man's bone-dissolving escape technique, Lin Jiang probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him.

The third hand that had emerged from the thief's abdomen slowly retracted, his palm tightly gripping the skull, his gaze piercing.

Knowing its fate was sealed, the skeleton instantly covered itself with a layer of fresh flesh and blood.

The old man's head was clearly visible in the thief's hand.

Although he was being held captive, the old man showed no sign of backing down.

He spat angrily to the side, glaring at the thief.

"You scoundrel, you have betrayed the Great Dust and colluded with foreign traitors!"

"What's it to you!" The thief roared, his eyes blazing with fury. "You killed my woman, and I'll take your life right now!"

The old man glanced sideways at the thief, then suddenly burst into wild laughter:

"Just as the adults said, you are full of cunning and deceit, but completely lack awareness! You clearly caused the death of the adults' son, but when it comes to your own, you can't even bear it! Useless! Useless!"

The thief gritted his teeth, his hand clearly not exerting any force, but the head in his palm rolled violently, and his words turned into a shrill wail.

Finally, the head suddenly exploded in his palm, blood splattering everywhere and scattering in all directions.

Even with his head exploding, the old man continued to laugh, his laughter seemingly mocking those who had become thieves.

With a burst of laughter, a surge of energy suddenly erupted from the old man's head, instantly rising into the air and enveloping the surrounding area.

Several clouds that were drifting in the wind were suddenly split in two along the middle, and several gaps in the surrounding sandstone and rock walls also inexplicably broke open.

As the clouds split in two in the sky, the laughter carried further and further away. The blazing sunlight scattered across the ground, and the invisible sharpness hidden in the air ruffled Lin Jiang's clothes.

Even after Dianxing died, his body and all things returned to Qi and returned to the world. Although the old man did not display much skill during the fight, the Qi that remained after his death was much more powerful than when he was alive.

Hearing the laughter coming from the sky, the thief couldn't stop cursing at the heavens, hurling extremely vile insults.

But when Lin Jiang looked at him, he felt as if he were seeing a child whose toy had been taken away, venting his dissatisfaction.

The old man had said that he lacked awareness, and Lin Jiang felt that this seemed to be true.
